Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 487: Chapter 233: Gifts for Master

“I get it, Master just finds me an eyesore, boohoo.”

…No, Senior Sister, you’re being a bit melodramatic.

Seeing the master and disciple about to start bickering, Ji Yuan quickly took out the gifts he had prepared for Phoenix Peach, a pair of bamboo dragonflies and paper butterflies.

“Senior Sister, look, these are the gifts I brought back for you from Lanshan City. What do you think?”

Upon hearing about the gifts, Phoenix Peach forgot about arguing with Hua Yaoyue and immediately stood up with delight. “Wow, Junior Brother, you have such good taste! You managed to find such fun spiritual artifacts.”

Phoenix Peach accepted them with both hands, refined them a bit, and then activated the butterfly and dragonfly, making them spin and dance around the pavilion.

“You’re so nice, Junior Brother, hehe.”

Phoenix Peach loves anything that’s fun.

Hua Yaoyue glanced at them a few times before looking away. From her expression, it seemed as if she was saying… aren’t you a bit old for toys like these? So childish.

Fortunately, Phoenix Peach was completely engrossed in her gifts and didn’t notice Hua Yaoyue’s expression.

But Ji Yuan noticed, and he stepped forward slightly, clasping his hands. “Disciple also prepared a gift for Master.”

“I don’t need any gifts from you.”

Hua Yaoyue replied nonchalantly, though she couldn’t help but sneak a few glances at Ji Yuan.

“Master, please wait a moment.”

Ji Yuan then stood up, guiding the wind cypress, and circled the pavilion once. By the time he returned to Hua Yaoyue, strings of wind chimes hung all around the pavilion.

The wind rang the chimes, and the sounds of mountain and sea played their symphony.

The material of these wind chimes seemed special—the gentle sound brought a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

“These wind chimes were bought by me from the Mirror Lake. They say the chimes are infused with the winds of Mirror Lake, containing one hundred and eight distinct sounds. Master, you only need to refine them to experience their uniqueness.”

Before Ji Yuan finished speaking, Hua Yaoyue had already released spiritual qi to refine the wind chimes.

She then sensed them slightly, and with a thought, the chime’s sound began to change.

It seemed to shift from a graceful water town to a vast prairie, and another change brought it to resemble an expansive desert.

“Not only that, these wind chimes can capture the sound of the wind and forge new melodies.”

Ji Yuan reminded again.

Hua Yaoyue tried once more, and the sound of the chimes no longer featured the ingrained songs, but instead, played the sounds of the mountain breeze she had infused into them.

The amount and size of the wind infused into the chimes affected the sounds they produced.

When Ji Yuan heard the shopkeeper’s explanation back then, he translated it into a language he could understand… the chimes contained many tunes, and they could also be used as an instrument to create new melodies.

And so… Hua Yaoyue enjoyed it thoroughly.

Phoenix Peach looked at the bamboo dragonfly and paper butterfly in her hands and suddenly felt they weren’t as charming, but she was too embarrassed to complain to Ji Yuan, so she leaned towards Hua Yaoyue.

“Master, these wind chimes aren’t fun at all, not interesting, you should let me take them away.”

After saying this, Phoenix Peach reached out to take them, only to hear Hua Yaoyue’s light voice from behind.

“You wouldn’t dare?”

Phoenix Peach dared not move.

The end result was Phoenix Peach leaving in frustration, and Ji Yuan watched her direction… headed straight for All Things Island, likely looking for a similar “toy” to ease her discontent.

Seeing Hua Yaoyue thoroughly enjoying herself.

Ji Yuan then leaned forward and whispered, “Master, I noticed this soft chair is a bit worn out, so I specially bought a new one from the north for you.”

“This one is made from the Tier Three spirit plant ’Awakening Clearing Divine Wood.’ When Master lies on it, it can rejuvenate your spirit, help relieve fatigue, and if you want to rest, it emits a sleep-aiding fragrance for you to fall asleep quickly.”

Hua Yaoyue couldn’t help but turn to look, realizing that the soft chair was indeed quite old.

And the material was just ordinary, with no special effects, which she had never paid attention to. Unexpectedly, Ji Yuan had noticed.

“You… are considerate.”

After speaking, Hua Yaoyue got up and put away the old chair, while Ji Yuan took out the new one from his Storage Bag and placed it in its place.

Hua Yaoyue spread her blanket over it, lay back down, adjusted her position slightly, and indeed found it much more comfortable and spacious.

Seeing her satisfied, Ji Yuan then said:

“If Master has no other matters, I will return to the island for a visit.”

“Go ahead.”

Having paid his respects to his master, Ji Yuan was indeed about to head back for a visit.

But going back… Should he visit Wuyou Island first or Mist Island? It’s a dilemma.

If prioritized for cultivation, he definitely should visit Mist Island, his old base, as most of his belongings were there.

But thinking of Senior Sister Dong’s ardor, Ji Yuan contemplated heading to Wuyou Island.

Hu Yue Island was right next to Wuyou Island.

The last time at the Ancient Battlefield wasn’t satisfying; this time, the visit to Hu Yue Island should be fulfilling, right?

Once the thought emerged, it was hard to suppress, and Ji Yuan’s Flying Boat, Fenghuai, inadvertently turned direction… No, a man must not be controlled by such worldly desires!

Cultivation must take precedence!

After enjoying Mist Island, going to Wuyou Island would be the same.

With this thought, Ji Yuan promptly urged his Fenghuai southward straight towards Mist Island.
