Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 181: Chapter 134: Effects of Level 2 [Enlightenment Room]

The Zengtou City thoughtfully prepared the drawing methods for the Tier Two Talismans ”Thousand Sword Talisman” and ”Copper Wall Talisman” for Ji Yuan.

As for the Tier Two Elixir recipes, Ji Yuan had already purchased the recipe for the ”Water Spirit Pill” in advance on All Things Island.

This is a prerequisite for upgrading the Alchemy Room to Level 2, which Ji Yuan is most eager to fulfill, so naturally, he had prepared it well in advance.

Moreover, among these numerous Tier Two Elixirs, the Water Spirit Pill is not considered too difficult. Its effects are quite similar to those of the Spirit Gathering Pill; however, while the Spirit Gathering Pill can enhance the cultivation for cultivators of all five attributes, the Water Spirit Pill can only increase the cultivation speed for water attribute cultivators.

Ji Yuan’s realms in the Alchemy Dao and Talisman Dao have both reached Tier One Upper Grade, just a step away from Tier Two.

Initially, he naturally attempted to break through the Alchemy Dao realm within the Enlightenment Room. But after half a month, he was still just a step away.

However, it was the Talisman Dao that first achieved a breakthrough.

A successful ”Copper Wall Talisman” allowed him to successfully advance to a Tier Two Talisman Master.

Good news: He can attempt to draw Tier Two Talismans and earn Spirit Stones from Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Bad news: The Talisman Room still cannot be upgraded.

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×20, Mica Crystal Cluster ×10 pounds, Red Marrow Thunder Jade ×1, successfully draw a complete set of Five Element Talismans (not yet achieved)]

Regarding the upgrade conditions for a Level 2 Talisman Room, the first few items are manageable, and those lacking can be attempted to purchase.

But the Five Element Talismans are a rigid requirement.

Ji Yuan plans to return to Water Dragon Sect in a few days to see if he can purchase the Talisman Technique for the Five Element Talismans.

When he upgrades the Talisman Room to Level 2, he will obtain the Transformation Talisman, and then he will have another disguise method.

When going out, he won’t have to worry about being seen through by the divine sense of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

A month passes.

Ji Yuan achieved a breakthrough in Talisman Dao, but the Alchemy Dao is still in the attempt phase.

Additionally, he just took some spare time to comprehend a technique, and he learned the third layer ”Nine Fold Waves” of the Canglang Sword Technique. If he faces opponents in the future, he will have one more means of defeating them.

Without breakthrough in Alchemy Dao, Ji Yuan once again moved his battleground from the Enlightenment Room to the Alchemy Room.

He continued to refine Tier One Upper Grade Spirit Gathering Pills, accumulating alchemy experience, and planning for advancement.

Time passed for nearly ten days, and Ji Yuan used up all the accumulated herbs, prompting a necessary return trip to Water Dragon Sect.

He emerged from the secluded Cave Mansion.

He first took over the accumulated security funds from Tu Yue during this period, intending to exchange them for Spirit Stones on All Things Island.

Over this month, the Big Toad also caught two Tier Two early-stage demon beasts. The demon pills were still there, but it ate whatever was edible.

What he couldn’t eat, Ji Yuan planned to sell on All Things Island for money.

Every grain to the warehouse, nothing goes to waste.

After handling all the matters on the island, Ji Yuan summoned the Scarlet Skies Skiff and headed north straight for Water Dragon Sect.

For this homecoming, he first returned to his residence on Chulong Island.

After a long absence, he naturally needed to check how the Cave Mansion has fared.

Now, more than a year has passed since he joined Water Dragon Sect, and it is summertime. Coincidentally, the two Summer Peach trees planted by his seniors in the yard have ripened.

Upon returning home, he beheld these two lush peach trees, along with the fist-sized, vermilion Summer Peaches.

He casually plucked one, cleaned it with a technique, and ate it.

Juice overflowed upon entry, incredibly plump, with a full peach flavor, complemented by a faint spiritual qi.

Clearly, considerable effort must have been invested in cultivating these two peach trees.

At least they are better than the ones Ji Yuan originally planted in Zengtou City.

After finishing the peach, Ji Yuan rested at home for a moment, then summoned the flying boat again to embark straight to All Things Island.

...

Meanwhile.

On an island resembling a Phoenix at the outskirts of Water Dragon Sect.

A woman in a fiery red gown suddenly opened her eyes, a golden light flashed across her long narrow eyes but quickly returned to normal.

She seemed to have sensed something, turned her head in the direction of Chulong Island, and spoke to herself:

”Has my courtyard finally gained new junior brothers and sisters?”

”In that case, I’ll go back and take a look.”

With this thought, she rose and summoned a fiery red flying boat, swiftly departing.

...

This time on All Things Island, Ji Yuan had many matters to attend to.

He first processed the Big Toad’s gains at the familiar Suspended Demon Shop during this period. The demon pills couldn’t be sold, and most of the immortal talent was eaten by it, leaving little to sell.

The remnants from a total of three Tier Two early-stage demon beasts didn’t even fetch 30 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Ji Yuan didn’t feel it was a loss. After all, the Big Toad’s gains were like picking up scraps to him.

After selling these, he leisurely wandered between the numerous shops on All Things Island.

He browsed extensively, searching for the herbs he needed and the ink and talisman paper for Talisman Painting. If he found something, he had to haggle with the shopkeeper or compare several shops before making a purchase.

Cultivation is not easy, and gathering Spirit Stones is even harder.

Therefore, there is no need to spend extravagantly. He understands the principle of frugality where needed and spending wisely where appropriate.

But as he walked, he found himself at the end of an alley, looked up at the shop beside him, and found it somewhat familiar.

This shop was built in a corner, with black stone used for the door frame and walls. Moreover, a banner resembling a Soul Banner was hung by the door, making it appear increasingly eerie.
