Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 639: Chapter 282: [Scripture Pavilion: Level 2]_3

“Let’s go.”

Traveling with Hua Yaoyue meant not even needing a flying boat.

As Ji Yuan’s figure leaped off the island, Hua Yaoyue took him straight west, transforming into a snow-white escape light.

This time, they passed through a place that was utterly silent, not disturbing a single white cloud; caution was paramount.

Ji Yuan was curious about how Hua Yaoyue planned to take him to Medicine King Valley, especially since the Fountain of Eternal Youth was located in its forbidden area.

Let alone how to get to this forbidden area, just sneaking into Medicine King Valley without alarming anyone was already incredibly difficult.

After all, the sect protection array of Shang Dong’s six immortal sects was a Tier Four Array.

A Tier Four Array can exert the power of a Nascent Soul, and Hua Yaoyue was only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

But since Master said there would be no problem, Ji Yuan didn’t say anything further; he couldn’t help but trust his master.

All the landscapes beneath—mountains, rivers—turned into flowing light and shadows, disappearing from Ji Yuan’s sight, and the terrain gradually transitioned from plains to hills and mountains.

Everywhere the eye could see, there were layers upon layers of mountains.

Not as tall as Shang Mountain, so there were no snowy peaks, just dense and lush forests.

Only in such a place could endless medicinal herbs grow, enabling a sect like Medicine King Valley, known for its alchemy, to establish itself here.

Ji Yuan had never been to Medicine King Valley; even his current location, the Alchemy Square, was in the northwest of Medicine King Valley and wasn’t on his usual route.

Traveling west for about two days.

Ji Yuan finally saw the location of Medicine King Valley’s sect from afar.

A massive green light shield enveloped the mountains, within which countless peaks could be seen, with most buildings distributed on the mountain tops, similar to how Water Dragon Sect’s structures were on numerous islands.

Ji Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a purple mark appeared between his brows.

The mark opened a seam in the middle, the PWoang Divine Eyes emerging, curiously observing the world.

Ji Yuan’s vision changed, allowing him to clearly see a thick white pillar of light rising within Medicine King Valley, signifying many cultivators inside. Due to their vast numbers, their spiritual Qi gathered into a pillar.

This sight Ji Yuan had seen at Water Dragon Sect, and because Water Dragon Sect had two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, the pillar of white light appeared even larger.

The next thing was the Tier Four Array.

Under the PWoang Divine Eyes, its color turned grayish-white, with occasional flashes of red light racing by, incredibly fast, beyond Ji Yuan’s Foundation Establishment stage to comprehend.

What was this?

This was the flaw of the Tier Four Array. If Ji Yuan were at the Nascent Soul stage, the red light would be highly apparent and easily grasped, making breaking the array exceedingly easy.

“No wonder the PWoang Divine Eyes are extraordinary; even at Foundation Establishment stage, I can discern Tier Four Array flaws—imagine reaching the Nascent Soul stage!”

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but marvel internally.

“Alright, stop gawking and put it away.”

Hua Yaoyue’s silhouette stopped a hundred miles away above the clouds from Medicine King Valley, prompting Ji Yuan to quickly close the vertical eye between his brows. Before he could inquire, he noticed his master’s aura suddenly change, along with her appearance.

Originally, Hua Yaoyue wore a snow-white long skirt, but now it turned into a black trailing gown.

Her former peaceful and cool demeanor now bore more vigor, her hair tied high up in a ponytail.

Ji Yuan simply watched his master, blinking his eyes.

“What are you looking at?”

Hua Yaoyue’s tone also changed, carrying a trace of contempt.

Or more accurately… overbearing arrogance.

“Nothing… nothing.”

“Wear this.”

Hua Yaoyue tossed out a Colorful Patterned Mask molded from soil, carrying a hint of illusionary aura.

Ji Yuan took it without suspicion and placed it on his face.

As soon as it touched him, he felt the mask adhere to his face, as if weightless, and his aura and appearance transformed instantly.

His face became that of a plain young man, resembling someone with a meek disposition.

…not sure about this choice, Master.

Before Ji Yuan could question, Hua Yaoyue already took off with him, swiftly arriving at the outermost array of Medicine King Valley.

Hua Yaoyue placed her hand on the array gently, pausing for about three to five breaths, and the array opened a door.

“Go in.”

Ji Yuan hurriedly slipped inside.

Hua Yaoyue repeated the process, and within moments, master and disciple had successfully traversed Medicine King Valley’s Sect Protection Array.

The Medicine King Valley’s proud Tier Four Array “Three Mountains Covering Peaks Array” was rendered useless before Hua Yaoyue.

After entering Medicine King Valley, Hua Yaoyue seemed even more familiar, as though returning home, leading Ji Yuan through the numerous ridges. After about an hour, they arrived at a secluded valley.

Just upon arrival, Ji Yuan felt a dense aura of life.

His body, slightly fatigued earlier, instantly became invigorated.

Moreover, he noticed the trees inside this valley were noticeably taller than those outside, with even richer spiritual Qi.

Yet, similarly, he sensed no trace of other cultivators here.

Presumably, Medicine King Valley was confident no one dared to venture into this forbidden area recklessly.

Hua Yaoyue didn’t use any other method; she simply strode in boldly.

Though Ji Yuan knew the mask on his face could conceal his aura, was this not too audacious?

Earlier, he contemplated whether Hua Yaoyue would create a diversion and draw Medicine King Valley’s Supreme Elder away, but now…

He had underestimated Hua Yaoyue.

Their speed was naturally swift, coupled with the valley itself being small.

So within just a few breaths, Ji Yuan reached the valley center.

He saw a gleaming green spring and an elderly white-haired man by the spring’s source, suddenly opening his puzzled eyes.
