Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1231: Chapter 423: Twenty Leisurely Years, Finally Reaching the Peak of Core Formation!

You Zai Daoist stroked his beard and laughed.

As his words fell, a few Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators present promptly spoke:

”As long as Daoist Xu is willing to come, the Peak Master of our Spirit Chef Peak is yours, Daoist Xu.”

”The same goes for Pleasure Peak.”

”And for Spirit Inscription Peak as well.”

”...”

Regarding this, Ji Yuan had already thought about it while wandering around the sect earlier.

First of all, the chosen peak must not be too busy.

This time Ji Yuan is here to find a place to go into seclusion to seek Nascent Soul Formation, not to work tirelessly.

Therefore, Pill Array Talisman is certainly out of the question.

These four peaks, although populous and powerful, paradoxically because of that, Ji Yuan had no interest in them.

Although he is extremely proficient in Pill Array Talisman, once he gets involved, much of his time will inevitably be occupied.

If it delays his cultivation, it would not be worth the cost.

As for the remaining Corpse Puppet Ghost Beast, which involves Corpse Refining, Puppets, Ghost Rearing, and Beast Taming,

although Ji Yuan is somewhat capable, they are also busy.

The truly leisurely ones are what Spirit Inscription Peak, Chess Book Peak, and so on.

But these still are not Ji Yuan’s goal this trip.

The peak he truly has his eye on in the Cloud Rain Sect is... Brewing Peak.

Brewing, is Ji Yuan skilled in it?

He’s immensely skilled at it.

Moreover, Brewing Peak is, to put it plainly, just a small peak, with hardly anything to do once there.

Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan calmly swept his gaze across the venue.

Some Core Formation Cultivators felt a bit flustered as his gaze swept past them.

After all, not every peak was willing to let Ji Yuan join happily, especially those small peaks with Early-stage or Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivators as Peak Masters.

If Ji Yuan goes, he would basically seize their position as Peak Master.

Losing the position of Peak Master means losing more than just status, but also numerous hidden cultivation resources.

”If there is no peak you admire, you may establish one yourself.”

A light female voice rang out within the Ancestral Hall.

Initially seated, these Core Formation Cultivators stood up upon hearing the voice.

This even included Cyan Furnace Zhenren at the Peak of Core Formation.

Why?

Because the one speaking was the Supreme Elder of the Cloud Rain Sect — Miss Baihua!

And her words further shocked these Core Formation Cultivators present.

To establish a new peak.

These cultivators present are considered old hands in the Cloud Rain Sect. Because they are old hands, they know how long it has been since the sect last established a new peak.

Why?

Because the two Supreme Elders would not allow it.

Yet now, one of these Supreme Elders has proactively suggested allowing this newly-joined Xu Beimu to establish a new peak, which shows a great favor.

Some Core Formation Cultivators of slightly lesser temperament already started feeling a bit envious.

Though Ji Yuan did not know what kind of honor this was, judging from the reactions of some Core Formation Cultivators, he could guess it was no small honor.

So he imitated the other cultivators, slightly cupping his hands towards the two vacant armchairs on the Ancestral Hall’s platform and said:

”Thank you, Supreme Elder, for your kindness, but this junior has already made a decision.”

”Oh? Do tell.”

Fairy Baihua’s voice rang out again.

”This junior wishes to join...Brewing Peak.”

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

As Ji Yuan spoke, some Core Formation Cultivators exchanged glances.

Some even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, as long as he didn’t join their own peak, anything else was fine.

”Oh? Brewing Peak? You can brew?”

Fairy Baihua seemed slightly doubtful.

”Indeed, from the Qi Cultivation Stage, this junior has been studying the art of brewing.”

Ji Yuan replied truthfully.

After all, if Ji Yuan couldn’t brew, Hua Yaoyue wouldn’t have taken him in, and if it weren’t for having Master Hua Yaoyue... even if Ji Yuan made it this far, it wouldn’t have been so smooth.

After a moment of silence, Miss Baihua’s voice rang out once more.

”Very well!”

Ji Yuan spoke frankly, and Miss Baihua agreed.

Then, there could be no further questions about this matter. You Zai Daoist immediately turned his head and shouted:

”Old Drunkard, where are you?”

There was no response from anyone present.

Finally, someone laughed and said, ”If that old drunkard could show up at a meeting like this, he wouldn’t be called an old drunkard.”

”Never mind, this meeting ends here for now. In a moment, I will personally escort Daoist Xu to Brewing Peak.”

Upon hearing You Zai Daoist’s words, these Core Formation Cultivators then stood up. However, none of them left directly; before leaving, each approached Ji Yuan to greet him and handed their Communication Talismans to him.

So, after all that, Ji Yuan didn’t get anything else, but he did receive twenty to thirty Communication Talismans from the Core Formation Cultivators in one go.

He accepted each and every one, regardless of who gave them.

You Zai Daoist watched from the side with a cheerful smile, and only after sending off the last Core Formation Cultivator did he step forward and say, ”Brother Xu, are you ready? If so, shall we set off together?”

”Thank you, Brother You Zai.”

Having just joined the sect, Ji Yuan naturally changed his manner of address.

However, he didn’t quite understand, even though he was called You Zai Daoist, he seemed to be the busiest person in the entire Cloud Rain Sect.

”No trouble at all.”

You Zai Daoist laughed heartily, then led Ji Yuan away from the Ancestral Hall.

The two transformed into escape light and dashed among the numerous mountain peaks, taking roughly one stick of incense’s time.

Ji Yuan only then moved from the center of Cloud Rain Sect to a mountain peak towards the northeast.
