Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 687: Chapter 298: The Final Destination of the Water Dragon Sect

“Not necessary, not necessary, haha, it’s not necessary.”

Celestial Chef Zhenren shook his head, “I certainly understand Senior Sister Wang You’s position, and things are fine over there with Duo Cai, just taking care of my nephew. But Junior Brother Xuan Shui… this is the first time I’ve seen him pay so much attention to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. It wouldn’t make sense if it were a Golden Core Disciple, after all, there are quite a few Golden Core Disciples within our sect.”

The Ice and Fire Elder pondered, “Are you saying that Master Wang You can appear in your Cave Mansion silently, and she can easily break through a Tier Three Array? Is she an Array Master?”

“I haven’t heard of her being adept at arrays, but she has a disciple… extremely skilled in arrays. If you say she’s good at arrays, it’s actually possible.”

Celestial Chef Zhenren recalled and said.

“His methods are indeed numerous, and his strength is truly formidable, but his character is just too cautious.”

The Ice and Fire Elder reminisced and said.

“…”

“Caution is the way of kings.”

Ji Yuan looked at these few people before him and said sincerely.

“I agree with Brother Wu You’s opinion, vengeance is urgent, but given our current state and mindset, we’re actually not suited for going out.”

Liu Yuan chimed in cooperatively.

Some wanted to go out hunting demons immediately, while others did not, so the final decision-making power fell on Chang Kun, the captain of the group.

Under the gaze of the few, Chang Kun nodded slightly, “We certainly need to avenge, but since we’ve just returned, let’s rest for a while and restore our condition before anything else.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan felt slightly relieved.

At least, it seemed not bad, as Chang Kun, the captain, wasn’t a reckless person.

If he were, Ji Yuan would have two options: either flee and quit or replace him and become the captain himself.

With this thought, Ji Yuan unconsciously glanced at the remaining six people.

Captain Chang Kun, who came from Sword Ruins, and Liu Yuan knew each other long before on Shang Mountain and were considered friends.

Ling Yue and Ling Long, the pair of twin sisters, came from Joy Palace.

There’s no need to mention Liu Yuan.

Weichen from Medicine King Valley, like him, had just joined.

The remaining is the Spirit Control Sect’s reckless man, named Tie Hu, true to his name. Also, the Spirit Beast he controls is a Tier Two Peak Demon Beast, the Earth-Splitting Tiger.

It was him who had been insisting on avenging Wang Luo, a friend on Corpse Transporting Mountain, in a hurry.

As for temperament, the others are fairly cautious, except for Tie Hu.

Therefore, the team should be considered reasonable, allowing Ji Yuan, an unofficial member, to feel at ease.

In fact, one reason he agreed to the Ice and Fire Elder’s request was also that he wanted to take the opportunity to go out and see what the outside world was like.

Especially trying to figure out the surrounding situation. If suitable, he’d flee immediately and return to the sect first.

If not suitable, he would also understand the situation thoroughly, preparing for his escape.

With clear reconnaissance, he wouldn’t need to worry about running straight into a Demon Cave while fleeing.

Moreover, Ji Yuan could work alone; he planned to assume the identity of “Qiu Qianhai” once outside, pretending to be a Demon Cultivator, roaming around the outside world a few times first.

In the current situation, Qiu Qianhai should have no difficulty thriving outside.

At worst, he’d just start killing.

Anyway, all the killings are attributed to Qiu Qianhai and have nothing to do with Ji Yuan.

So, in the time that followed, Ji Yuan no longer guarded the city walls but stayed with other demon-hunting team members, familiarizing and integrating with them.

If they don’t integrate now, when they leave Alchemy Square… Demon Cultivators won’t give them time to integrate.

Initially, Ji Yuan was unfamiliar with them, not understanding their situation, but through this period of integration, he realized that the most reckless one in battle was actually… the pair of sisters from Joy Palace.

They have a combined attack technique, plus a mutual understanding, so once they engage the enemy, they often delve deep into enemy territory.

Even during integration, this was the case; every time they engaged, they attacked the fiercest.

Conversely, Tie Hu from the Spirit Control Sect, fought conservatively while coordinating with his Earth-Splitting Tiger and admitted his mistakes to everyone.

He said he had close personal ties with Wang Luo, hence the urgency for revenge, almost endangering the team.

Weichen from Medicine King Valley was also a cautious and meticulous type, appropriately positioning herself.

Not adept at killing, she’s a pharmacist.

So during clashes, she always tried to remain in the middle of the team to avoid being targeted by the opponents.

As for Captain Chang Kun, he’s skilled in defensive swordsmanship, perfectly coordinating with Liu Yuan, leaving no gaps.

Regarding the remaining Ji Yuan, he was like an outsider, wandering around the periphery, which suited his intentions. After half a month’s integration, this team was finally preparing to set out.

Since arriving at Alchemy Square last time, Ji Yuan hadn’t been outside for a whole year.

For a moment, he felt a bit nervous and expectant, so to be safe… he put his entire house into the Storage Bag, ready to move and escape at any time.

…

Meanwhile.

Water Dragon Sect, Qingfeng Island.

A breeze blew past, and Hua Yaoyue’s figure appeared in front of Kong Xifeng out of thin air. Tall and imposing, she spoke coldly with her hands clasped behind her back: “Have you given it some thought?”

Kong Xifeng looked at her, staring for a long while before finally couldn’t help asking:

“What exactly is your cultivation level?”

Because Kong Xifeng realized not only couldn’t she notice how Hua Yaoyue had come in, but she also couldn’t sense Hua Yaoyue’s cultivation level at this moment.

“Just a little bit higher than yours.”

Hua Yaoyue said casually.

Kong Xifeng hung her head. After a while, she finally spoke, “Can you really ensure Taiyi Immortal Sect will accept us?”

“Yes.”

Hua Yaoyue replied casually.

“But I’m afraid I won’t make it to the Desolate Ancient Continent.” Kong Xifeng felt increasingly worn and weary.

“How many times have you drunk from the Fountain of Eternal Youth?”

“Once.”

Kong Xifeng, with a hint of confusion, raised her head, only to see Hua Yaoyue handing over a small Jade Pot filled with a blue-green liquid.

“Drink it, it will give you another ten years of life, enough to lead Water Dragon Sect to the Desolate Ancient Continent and settle down.”

“Wh-what?!”

Looking at the item in front of her, Kong Xifeng seemed incredulous for a moment.

But as she thought of something, she suddenly looked towards Hua Yaoyue.

“It’s…it’s you!”
