Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Speaking of the Eight Trigrams, Hu Li was startled but extremely interested.

“Also, nowadays the strongest force on the Jiyuan Continent is called the Black and White Divine Hall. I saw in an incomplete ancient text that the Black and White Divine Hall has an ancestor in the Divinity Transformation Stage.”

“That ancestor was the senior brother of the Saint Master of Shang Court in their day.”

“It’s also rumored that they both came from the same sect, seemingly named something like… Yin Ghost Mountain?”

Initially just listening to the story, Ji Yuan suddenly sat up straight.

“Yin Ghost Mountain? You mean the Yin Ghost Sect.”

“Yes, yes, the Yin Ghost Sect!”

Hu Li slapped his forehead. “It must be because you, senior, are so knowledgeable that you even know this.”

…Yin Ghost Sect.

A light ignited in Ji Yuan’s eyes. He had been searching for the Yin Ghost Sect for decades, only to find it was indeed on this Extreme Abyss Continent.

Regardless of the Divine Soul Technique in the “Nine Songs Soul Suppression Sutra”, just the Yin Ghost Array and the Yin Ghost Banner are enough to demonstrate its strength.

He couldn’t help but think of the ring and token in his storage bag.

Perhaps going to the Extreme Abyss Continent would unlock their secrets?

’It seems the Extreme Abyss Continent is indeed a place I must visit.’

Ji Yuan muttered to himself and asked again, “Have you heard any news about the Yin Ghost Sect?”

“Well…”

Hu Li frowned in thought for a moment before speaking, “The Yin Ghost Sect is, after all, a sect over on the Extreme Abyss Continent. We on the Cangluo Continent have very little recorded information.”

“I only saw that the Yin Ghost Sect was extremely powerful at the time, dominating both the Extreme Abyss and Cangluo continents, but I don’t know why it was just a flash in the pan, rising quickly and falling as quickly.”

“It’s said that it took only a mere fifty years from when they unified the Extreme Abyss Continent until their demise, but the exact reason is unknown.”

…Fifty years.

In the Cultivation Realm, that is indeed a mere fleeting moment.

Especially for those Nascent Soul Monsters, perhaps it’s just the time they spend in seclusion.

Before they enter seclusion everything is fine, and when they emerge… what? A sect has unified the Extreme Abyss Continent?

What?

This sect has already been destroyed?

But such situations… most often follow a plot of undefeated under the heavens but enemies from the sky.

Ji Yuan could easily guess that the cultivators who established the Yin Ghost Sect mostly came from other continents.

Once they established the Yin Ghost Sect, their enemies also followed them here.

And then wiped them out along the way.

“About the Foundation Establishment Stage corpses I asked you to collect last time, how’s that going?”

Ji Yuan raised his head and asked.

Hu Li quickly waved his right hand, and five corpses of Foundation Establishment Cultivators appeared on the ground in front of him.

There were individuals from both the Righteous and Demonic paths.

Not recognizing anyone, Ji Yuan casually waved his hand and took them away.

“Now Blood Luo Mountain is stricter on controlling Immortal Materials, like the stall in Peony City where Old Demon of a Hundred Insects frequented, that has been shut down. Rumor has it the people selling Immortal Materials themselves became Immortal Materials. These were exchanged by me from other friends.”

Hu Li sighed as he spoke, fully conveying the hardship and difficulty of his journey.

“Alright.”

Ji Yuan stood up, patting him on the shoulder, scaring him into falling to his seat, looking flattered and surprised.

“Now I’ll remove this insect egg for you, and then I need to go out for a while. You’ll look after this place.”

“Of course, if you want to run, you can leave at any time, the choice is yours.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Li surprisingly did not answer right away but fell silent as if in thought.

Ji Yuan couldn’t be bothered to pay attention and instead placed a hand on Hu Li’s back, injecting spiritual qi as recorded in the Jade Scroll, guiding it, he quickly sensed the position of the insect egg.

No need to take it out.

Inject a bit more mana, and instantaneously refine this insect egg.

“Is this… done?!”

Hu Li didn’t expect that the insect egg, which tormented him for years, would be resolved so easily.

He was momentarily in disbelief.

“Did you think it was that hard?”

Ji Yuan asked with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll pack up and leave soon. If you have time, help me collect more corpses.”

Ji Yuan said, leaping up straight towards the Hundred Insect Cave.

On the ground.

Hu Li watched his back and shouted loudly, “Senior, I’ll wait for you here on Profound Crystal Mountain!”

“Suit yourself.”

Ji Yuan descended into the Hundred Insect Cave and called up the panel, looking at Level 4 [Beehive].

[Beehive: lv4 (Cannot Upgrade)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Increase bee swarm reproduction speed by 60%; bee swarm recovery speed by 50%; bee swarm advancement probability by 20%.]

[Spirit Effect 2: Enhance effects of Non-toxic Non-bee and Spirit Devouring Armor.]

[Spirit Effect 3 (Birth Spirit Devour): When Spirit-Devouring Bees attack an opponent, they can lay “bee seeds” inside the opponent, which follow the opponent’s spiritual qi flow, enter the dantian, and devour the opponent’s spiritual qi.]

[Upgrade Conditions: 30,000 pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, Bee King cultivation reaches Tier Four; bee swarm quantity reaches 150,000; 2 Tier Four Demon Pills. (Not Achieved)]

Spirit Effect 1 and Spirit Effect 2 are still regular upgrades, nothing much to say.

Spirit Effect 3, however, has a significant impact.

Birth Spirit Devour, this is basically a new poison technique.

Moreover, being a Spirit Effect of the Level 4 building, Ji Yuan thinks that once the bee seed enters the opponent’s dantian, it won’t be easy for them to remove it.

If used during a battle, it can speed up the opponent’s spiritual qi consumption.

If used while the opponent is fleeing, it could take a long time for them to recover once they return to heal.

Maybe you can even use the bee seed to locate the opponent.

The effect is bound to be excellent.

Finally, there are the upgrade conditions.
