Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1280: Chapter 434: Nascent Soul Assembly and Dao Heart Demon Seed [Monthly Pass Request]_2

As soon as they met, Sword Wuchen brought up the last incident.

For a moment, everyone’s expressions had a hint of amusement.

Master Danxu was naturally displeased by this face-slapping behavior at their meeting.

Fairy Baihua recalled that there was still a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator in the sect who hadn’t shown himself.

The only one who knew the truth, Ji Yuan, found it somewhat amusing and even considered whether he should use his Late-stage Nascent Soul’s Divine Sense to frighten them a bit when they leave.

”It’s closer, but this Escape Technique is still not as good as Brother Jian’s Flying Sword Escape Technique.”

Master Danxu seemed unaffected by Sword Wuchen’s words and continued:

”On the contrary, Brother Jian, your Flying Sword Escape Technique is so profoundly advanced that it might not be long before you advance to Late-stage Nascent Soul. By then, who knows what will happen.”

...Two old foxes, both trying to catch Elder Xuanji’s attention.

Listening to their words, Ji Yuan immediately understood their intention.

Likewise, Fairy Baihua also realized something was off.

So she stepped forward with a smile and said, ”It’s rare for the two Daoists to visit our Cloud Rain Sect. Why not return to the hall first and continue there?”

”Since Daoist Baihua has spoken, we must comply.”

Sword Wuchen said, flicking his sleeve, snorting coldly, and taking the lead back to Cloud Rain Peak.

Moments later, the four of them were seated comfortably inside the hall.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ji Yuan, the protagonist of the Nascent Soul Assembly, was brought into the conversation.

”Daoist Xu looks unfamiliar, should not be from our Xingluo Archipelago, right?”

Master Danxu slightly turned, seemingly curious, and asked.

”Should not be. If he were truly one of us from Xingluo Archipelago, he likely would have made a great name for himself by now.”

Sword Wuchen followed up.

Fairy Baihua listened, inevitably thinking... Indeed, even back at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had already made a great name for himself. In the Core Formation Stage, he was known worldwide, just that they were unaware.

”Indeed not, I was once a cultivator on the Desolate Ancient Continent in my early years...”

Ji Yuan fabricated a story, quickly assigning himself the identity of ”Overseas Loose Cultivator Xu Beimu.”

Such people are quite common, so neither Master Danxu nor Sword Wuchen questioned further.

After some pleasantries, Master Danxu seemed to suddenly remember something and slapped his forehead, saying:

”Focused so much on talking, I forgot to give Brother Xu a gift.”

Having said this, he flipped his right hand, and a delicately crafted jade bottle with floral designs appeared in his hand.

With a smile, he reached out and pushed it, sending the jade bottle to Ji Yuan.

”A drop of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, a small gift, not worthy of respect.”

As he spoke, he used mana to open the bottle cap, and immediately rich Spiritual Qi spread throughout the grand hall.

...Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, just right to be used as an upgrade material for the Spirit Vein!

Concerning materials that can upgrade buildings, Ji Yuan naturally liked them.

After some polite declines, Ji Yuan had no choice but to ”reluctantly” accept the gift.

Sword Wuchen saw this and coldly laughed, ”Old ghost Danxu, with so many high-quality Elixirs in your sect, you only gave a mere drop of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk as a gift? How petty could you be.”

”You!”

This wasn’t petty; this was clearly saying Master Danxu looked down on Ji Yuan.

Instigating discord.

Moreover, it’s instigating discord right in front of them.

For a moment, Master Danxu was stuck between continuing to give more gifts or sticking to the current message that he despises Ji Yuan.

But remaining silent means he considers Ji Yuan insignificant now!

Master Danxu struggled to speak, so Ji Yuan, the central figure, had to speak out.

”Daoist Wuchen was joking. This Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk is already an excellent gift for me. There’s no talk of being petty.”

”Oh?”

Sword Wuchen seemed skeptical and incredulous, ”Then, how about you look at my gift, Daoist Xu?”

Saying this, he flipped his right hand again, revealing a piece of ash-brown stone.

”What?!”

Master Danxu was genuinely shocked by Sword Wuchen’s gift.

”Earlier, observing Daoist Xu’s breakthrough into Nascent Soul and its phenomena, there seemed to be traces of Sword Cultivation within. This item is the specialty of my Heavenly Sword Sect, a ’Sword Soul Stone,’ used to strengthen the Lifebound Flying Sword, enhancing one’s Sword Qi.”

As Sword Wuchen spoke, he casually pushed the Sword Soul Stone in front of Ji Yuan.

”A small gift, not worthy of respect.”

Sword Wuchen stroked his beard with a smile while glancing at Master Danxu.

His eyes were filled with disdain.

”This item is indeed a treasure, especially for you, Junior Brother Ji, as a Sword Cultivator... Earlier, the Mountain Master of Spirit Ghost Mountain used an entire Tier Four corpse, including the Demon Pill, to exchange from the Heavenly Sword Sect for a Sword Soul Stone. By this single fact, Junior Brother Ji, you can perceive its value.”

Fairy Baihua’s explanation echoed above Ji Yuan’s sea of consciousness.

”This item is too valuable...”

With this, Ji Yuan wanted to refuse.

”What do you mean by that? Brother Xu can accept a gift from the Dan Ding Sect but not from my Heavenly Sword Sect? Do you disapprove of our Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Sword Wuchen feigned anger.

”Certainly not.”

Ji Yuan could only deny.

”Since not, then accept it.”

”Then I... will accept it respectfully.” Ji Yuan clasped his hands slightly in salute before putting away the Sword Soul Stone.

Sword Wuchen nodded in satisfaction.

...It’s a pity that it’s not quite appropriate to reveal his identity for now. Otherwise, he could host another Nascent Soul Assembly at Tingtiao Pavilion. By then, the other seven Holy Lands and the Black and White Divine Hall would surely send representatives, resulting in more gifts to receive.
