Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 621: Chapter 276: Star Absorption Technique?

Right, I still have to find a way to get another [Spiritual Energy Cannon] later.

Let’s see if it’s more suitable to find the Li Family or go to Yun Qianzai again.

The [Enlightenment Room] requires five Tier Three Demon Pills, one for each of the five elements!

The [Celestial Craft Square] is the best, although it’s a new building formed by combining four buildings, it only requires one Tier Three Demon Pill to upgrade.

Hmm… from now on my favorite building will be [Celestial Craft Square].

The [Fish Pond] requires one ice-attribute Tier Three Demon Pill, and this thing is really damn rare, just like an Abnormal Spirit Root.

Seems like if I can’t find a suitable one by then, I might have to kill Monday.

Just right, this [Fish Pond] also needs a Tier Three Serpent corpse for the upgrade.

Killing Monday would be killing two birds with one stone.

The [Pigsty] requires two Tier Four Demon Pills with water and fire attributes, but this is a level 5 building, so it’s only natural.

The [Spirit Field] still requires two Tier Four Demon Pills and specifies wood attribute.

So based on these calculations, just for now, without constructing new buildings, we need 13 Tier Three Demon Pills.

As for the Tier Four Demon Pills, we need 5 of them.

Speaking of Tier Three Demon Beasts, Ji Yuan’s deepest impression is on the Tier Three Thunderstorm Serpent in the Storm Area.

Just that thing, it would take at least 13…

Ji Yuan rubbed his temples.

“It’s a shame, Hua Yaoyue is my master, otherwise, if I were Hua Yaoyue’s master, it would be great, I could hold her every day and have her go out to hunt Demon Beasts for me.”

Ji Yuan fantasized for a while, then took out the sea map connecting Jiyuan Continent and Cangluo Continent from his Storage Bag.

He hadn’t forgotten that Hua Yaoyue wanted a copy… after finishing copying, Ji Yuan took the Nascent Soul Technique and headed straight to Forget Worries Island.

Half a day later, he handed over the sea map after arriving at Forget Worries Island, then inquired Hua Yaoyue about the Spiritual Energy Cannon matter, thinking about which option would be better to buy it from.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yaoyue couldn’t be bothered to answer.

She just told him to wait here.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan knew that Hua Yaoyue had already taken care of it for him, so he then took out the cheekbone that housed the inherited cultivation technique.

“This cultivation technique works quite well, Master, see if it might be of use to you.”

Ji Yuan handed it over with both hands.

A Nascent Soul Technique, even for Hua Yaoyue, was considered a decent thing, even if not to practice, it would provide insights into others’ cultivation paths, which could benefit her own cultivation.

“Hmm.”

So Hua Yaoyue casually took it, infused it with Spiritual Qi, and scanned it with Divine Sense.

The cultivation technique Ji Yuan struggled to finish reading in a few days only took half an incense stick of time for Hua Yaoyue.

“It is indeed good.”

Hua Yaoyue returned the cheekbone to Ji Yuan, then walked back and forth within the pavilion, saying slowly, “No wonder that old demon, despite only being at the Peak of Golden Core, became a guest of early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in the past, just with this reckless fighting method…”

Hua Yaoyue shook her head.

“It’s fine to use sparingly, but using it too much will probably deepen the shackles, making breakthroughs more difficult, especially with your Pseudo Spirit Root.”

Hua Yaoyue glanced at Ji Yuan with a hint of ridicule.

“Yes.”

Ji Yuan replied with cupped hands and silently noted this matter down.

Even if he managed to master this “Yin Transformation and Spirit Absorption Book”, the Yin Transformation Divine Water could be used freely, but the Star Absorption Technique must be used with extreme caution, not to be used unless absolutely necessary.

Thinking about it, back when the old demon crossed the sea and used the Star Absorption Technique on Black Dragon Island, it was largely because he was at a dead end.

Given even a moment to awaken earlier, he would’ve developed himself first.

After waiting approximately half an hour, someone outside the island suddenly requested a meeting.

Hua Yaoyue broke through the Array, reached out and grabbed, and two brand new [Spiritual Energy Cannons] were pulled in, landed on the sandy beach of Forget Worries Island.

After all, these cannons took up a lot of space, there was no room to bring them into the pavilion.

“Both are for you, take them.”

Hua Yaoyue said casually.

“Wait, Master, who did you find…”

These brand new [Spiritual Energy Cannons], probably only exist within the sect. Could it be that Master went to find the Sect Leader Martial Uncle?

“I asked Kong Xifeng for them, told her if she didn’t give them to me I’d go take them from the treasure vault myself, she sent them over.” Hua Yaoyue explained matter-of-factly.

…Indeed, as expected of Master.

So, after thinking for a moment, Ji Yuan leaned in and softly whispered:

“Master, I still need some Demon Pills. Could you also ask the Ancestor for some?”

“Tier Three? How many?”

“Not many, just fifteen will do.”

After hearing, Hua Yaoyue couldn’t help but give him a look.

“Asking for that might make that old lady Kong Xifeng fight me.” Hua Yaoyue maintained her casual demeanor.

“Well…”

“If it wasn’t such a big deal, I’d have gotten them, but right now in the war between righteousness and demons, both sides are in desperate need of Demon Pills, not to mention strategic resources like Demon Pills of any tier.”

Right, even elixirs and talismans are in short supply, let alone Demon Pills.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave for now.”

Ji Yuan said, cupped his hands, intending to head down to the beach, collect the [Spiritual Energy Cannons], and return to Wuyou Island to cultivate.

But just as he was about to leave, Hua Yaoyue’s voice transmitted again, saying: “Wait a little longer, I’ll get them for you when the time comes.”

“What?”

Ji Yuan turned around, looking at Hua Yaoyue in surprise, “Wha… when?”

Hua Yaoyue simply said four words.

“When the sect is exterminated.”

…Extermination.

Is the Water Dragon Sect going to be exterminated?

Or are the six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong going to be wiped out entirely?

Is there really no way to hold on?

Even as Ji Yuan returned to Wuyou Island, Hua Yaoyue’s last four words—”when the sect is exterminated”—kept echoing in his mind…

’If the Water Dragon Sect is truly wiped out, where should I go?’

’Most likely Master will leave the Cangluo Continent, and if so, I’ll leave with her, she wouldn’t abandon me and run off alone.’

For a while, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious about the future.

But before his anxiety could last long, it was eased by Tu Yue’s delivery of this month’s “Profound Sun Blood Amber.”
