Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 137: Chapter 114: The First Level 3 Building [Double-Length]_4

This sort of thing may be hard to inquire about in other shops, but there’s no such concern at the Hundred Treasures Tower.

Not asking would have been better; asking about it gave quite a shock.

Tier Two Elixir, Foundation Establishment Pills, are categorized into One-Stripe, Two-Stripe, and Three-Stripe.

These stripes refer to the pill lines.

One-Stripe is the weakest, enhancing the Foundation Establishment probability by just 10%, while Three-Stripe is the best, boosting it by 30%.

It’s said there’s even a worse kind, with no stripes, akin to a Poison Pill.

After consumption, Foundation Establishment solely depends on fate.

The Three-Stripe has no price.

For Two-Stripe... the minimum price is 500 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and at an auction, the price could go sky-high.

The One-Stripe Foundation Establishment Pills are the most traded, priced around 300 to 500 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

But they are often immediately purchased as soon as they appear.

The Water Dragon Sect doesn’t sell them, and Ji Yuan doesn’t dare to think about it. Then he inquired about the price of the Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass.

stalk costs 150 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

This is the buying price given by the Hundred Treasures Tower, and they’ll take however many there are.

As for selling... the Water Dragon Sect uses them up for themselves, so how could there possibly be any to sell?

No way around it, this thing is simply too scarce.

In contrast, the Thousand-year Qinghui Grass is only 70 Mid-grade Spirit Stones per stalk.

This herb is occasionally available at the Hundred Treasures Tower, but it is often bought as soon as it appears... It’s good enough to be available; just afraid that there isn’t any for sale.

Thus, it somewhat put Ji Yuan’s mind at ease.

With the availability of Thousand-year Qinghui Grass, there surely would be other herbs for sale as well.

The only thing lacking is this Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass.

Fortunately, it can be cultivated in a Level 3 Spirit Field... So, he just needs to wait patiently for a decade or so, relying on the Spirit Field to grow a dozen or so Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grasses.

Then he can successfully establish his Foundation.

Having a path for such an important matter in his heart, Ji Yuan felt relieved.

After half a day, he returned to his Number 18 Cave Mansion.

The Spirit Field is easy to handle.

Ji Yuan went to the backyard, casually took a few digs with the Hundred Fish Shield to loosen the soil.

A line of small characters hovered above the ground.

[Spirit Field: Level 2 (Upgradeable)]

Ji Yuan first glanced at the spirit effect of Level 3 Spirit Field.

[Spirit Effect 1: Crop growth period reduced by 50%; 30% chance to harvest double crops, 5% chance to harvest triple crops during harvest.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Thousand-year Illusion): Can harvest 1 stalk of Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass annually.]

He was curious about one thing.

Wondering if Spirit Effect 2 could trigger Spirit Effect 1 while harvesting Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass.

A 30% chance to harvest double crops... If it triggers, harvesting two stalks of Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass in a year would be fantastic.

As for the remaining 5% chance, Ji Yuan didn’t dare to think about it.

Whatever, after upgrading, it will be known in a few years.

The first Level 3 building is about to come out, and Ji Yuan began to wonder about the effects of the Level 4 Spirit Field.

He willed with his Heart Thought.

Two Demon Pills of the Black Water Louse, 5 kilograms of Profound Yin Soil, 50 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, along with 3 corpses of the Flying Locust, were all brought out and placed next to the Spirit Field.

”Panel, upgrade for me!!”

Ji Yuan only dared to shout within his mind.

As his thought fell, the materials placed beside the Spirit Field began to slowly dissipate.

In turn, the Spirit Field started to emit a brilliant green light.

Being inside the Water Dragon Sect, Ji Yuan hastily turned off the building effect, fearing unwanted attention.

So he waited for a few breaths of time.

The panel refreshed.

The line of small characters floating above the Spirit Field changed accordingly.

[Spirit Field: Level 3 (Non-upgradable)]

Before Ji Yuan could summon the panel to check the effects of the Level 4 Spirit Field,

He noticed something unusual happening to the Spirit Field before him...

In the center of the Spirit Field, an illusory herb was slowly forming.

This herb was entirely a bizarre dark blue, with slender leaves, and the leaf veins appeared like star patterns. A closer look seemed to reveal a galaxy, the more he looked, the larger the galaxy seemed... No, wait!

Ji Yuan quickly closed his eyes, yet still had an unreal sensation of a galaxy in his mind.

Illusion Spirit of the Illusion Spirit Grass... truly living up to its name.

Ji Yuan took a while to dispel the feeling from his mind.

He exhaled a long turbid breath and opened his eyes again, but this time he dared not look closely.

Only glanced from the corner of his eye.

At the same time, he discovered that this building effect’s spirit effect... the Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass was already mature?!

One stalk per year.

Right after just upgrading, he can freely get one stalk, and then wait another year for the next?

This is wonderful!

Ji Yuan waited for a moment, confirmed that the Illusion Spirit Grass had no other changes before taking out a small jade shovel to carefully dig around the Illusion Spirit Grass.

But before he could dig much, he discovered that the Illusion Spirit Grass had fallen by itself.

Not only that.

After the Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass dropped to the ground, it suddenly turned into... two stalks!

Oh my!

Ji Yuan hastily looked at the panel.

Only to see a line of text had appeared at some unknown point.

[While harvesting ”Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass,” you triggered the spirit effect and acquired double crops — Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass ×2.]

Ji Yuan seemed somewhat disbelieving.

Was he this damn lucky?!

After a brief moment of joy, Ji Yuan immediately took out two jade boxes and put away the two stalks of Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass.

Safe for now.

Unfortunately, with today’s harvest of two stalks of Thousand-year Illusion Spirit Grass, the next harvest will be a year later.

But then again, a year later, others may not even have one Illusion Spirit Grass...

As Du Wanyi had said, Illusion Spirit Grass is typically obtained by venturing into Secret Realms.

After storing away the Illusion Spirit Grass, Ji Yuan then looked at the panel.

He wanted to see what exaggerated effects this Level 4 building might have...
