Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 613: Chapter 274: A Great Harvest

Ji Yuan couldn’t spare time to inspect this finger bone.

He looked at several new scars, one of which was cut extremely deep by the gang wind, almost slicing the Celestial Poison Needle into two pieces, which made Ji Yuan feel distressed.

This thing was his precious treasure, capable of turning the tables invisibly.

What’s even more precious is that this thing is a Magical Treasure!

Now it’s so severely damaged… Ji Yuan hurriedly took two taels of Jade Fat from the Storage Bag, deciding to use more since it replenishes every month and there’s no need to be frugal.

With a squeeze, the Jade Fat spread out.

Ji Yuan buried the Celestial Poison Needle within it, then grasped front and back, allowing the Jade Fat to envelop it completely.

The rest just requires time to restore itself slowly.

He believed the issue wouldn’t be significant, firstly due to the adequate amount of Jade Fat, and secondly because the Celestial Poison Needle was merely cut but not broken or subjected to any other corrosive damage.

Moreover, such a good Magical Treasure—never would he let anything incomplete, even if it meant using additional Immortal Talent.

After putting the Celestial Poison Needle away, Ji Yuan observed the finger bone in his hand.

In fact, when this finger bone first appeared, he had already noticed because it was rather conspicuous, clearly longer than other finger bones on the broken hand.

Plus, the color was quite different.

The other finger bones were normal, powdery-white, but this finger bone was purely black.

The situation evidently indicated that this finger bone wasn’t from the Profound Turtle Zhenren’s severed hand but from somewhere else, like… the true body of the ocean-crossing old demon!

Upon holding the finger bone, Ji Yuan could clearly sense it was akin to a Storage Bag’s storage space.

Being constantly carried by the ocean-crossing old demon, even in escape or possession attempts, it must be his most significant possession!

Full of anticipation, Ji Yuan refined it,

invading with Divine Sense, he took in the entirety of the space inside.

He was greatly disappointed.

Ji Yuan thought it would be piled with Spirit Stones, best if even upper-grade Spirit Stones were stocked in boxes, but what was the reality?

Not to mention upper-grade Spirit Stones, there wasn’t even a single low-grade Spirit Stone!

The items inside were scant.

A pure black cheekbone, a somewhat familiar Skull Token, and a sheet like human skin.

Only these three thus far, pitifully few.

Also suggesting these three items were extremely valuable to be carried by the ocean-crossing old demon.

Ji Yuan first took out the familiar Skull Token.

The token, seemingly bone-made, felt icy to the touch, with the surface crafted to resemble a skull, presenting an eerie appearance.

Just upon acquiring the Skull Token, Ji Yuan realized why it felt familiar; he possessed a similarly aura-bearing item.

He flipped his hand and retrieved a ring from his Storage Bag.

The Yin Ghost Sect Ring!

The engraved skull on the Skull Token matched exactly with the skull on the Yin Ghost Sect Ring, no difference, identical aura.

’It’s another item from the Yin Ghost Sect, seems fated with the Yin Ghost Sect.’

Simply a wisp of Spiritual Qi into the Yin Ghost Sect Ring would reveal a ’Yin’ character, and upon acquiring successive tokens, it could obscure and alter its aura.

Yet, what was the function of the Skull Token?

Ji Yuan also tried injecting a bit of Spiritual Qi into it.

For it to be carried constantly by the ocean-crossing old demon, it surely was problem-free.

Besides… Ji Yuan had interacted with the Yin Ghost Sect multiple times, understanding the nature of their items; as long as not used against himself by outsiders, there was no issue.

With him injecting the Spiritual Qi, the Skull Token finally showed a hint of movement.

Similarly, a mass of Yin Energy emerged from the token.

Just as Ji Yuan expected a ’Yin’ character to appear, he saw the Yin Energy manifesting, forming a door…

A door?

A pair of open bronze doors.

As Ji Yuan anticipated some change, the Yin Energy broke apart, and the door dissolved.

“Hmm?”

Disbelieving, Ji Yuan again injected a bit of Spiritual Qi into the token, with doors reappearing, resulting in the Yin Energy severing once more, dissolving the doors.

Certainly a good item.

Yet Ji Yuan had no time to examine it further; the priority was swiftly departing from the Fallen Immortal Gully.

Concerning the cheekbone, he sensed it too, it was an inheritance item!

In other words, within it was at least a Nascent Soul Technique.

Ji Yuan immediately thought of the Scripture Pavilion, previously concerned where to acquire this Nascent Soul Technique, unexpectedly it’s now at hand… time to see what technique it contains.

Also, reflecting upon the ocean-crossing old demon’s actions on Black Dragon Island.

The powerful black line seizing Spiritual Qi was likely a Nascent Soul Technique.

Storing the finger bone into his Storage Bag, Ji Yuan retrieved a dummy, letting it float before him, then drift along in the way he came.

The route mainly shaped like a ’Z’.

The dummy successfully floated, and Ji Yuan smoothly traversed through.

Emerging safely from the Fallen Immortal Gully, Ji Yuan could barely conceal his relief, nearly sitting on the spot to take a breather.

But before he regained composure, he saw a white light rushing towards him across the distant sea; where it passed, the Endless Sea seemed to split in two…
