Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 183: Chapter 134: Level 2 [Enlightenment Room] Effects_3

”Daoist Ji, take a look at this item, how do you find it?”

Ji Yuan was already quite surprised when he saw him activate the array, but what was in the man’s hand was even more astonishing.

In his hand, he held a palm-sized black coffin suppressed by several Nightmare Suppression Talismans.

As soon as this item was taken out, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop by more than ten degrees, and even Ji Yuan, a body cultivator, felt a chill.

”Daoist Bai, what is this...”

”I dug it out from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Corpses. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I know it contains a heavy amount of Yin energy. I think it should meet your requirements.”

”Then this coffin... can it be opened?”

”It can’t be opened. I have tried. This black coffin is a single piece, carved from one solid block of stone.”

Ji Yuan took it with both hands, and even when manipulating it with the Artifact Manipulation Technique, he could still feel that extreme chill... This is surely a good item. If used, the two Yin Ghosts could probably grow to the Peak of Qi Refining, right?

”It should be useful, but such a good item, I fear the price won’t be cheap?”

Ji Yuan carefully inquired about the price.

Bai Piao smiled, ”I came upon this by chance as well. As for the price... I don’t plan to exchange it for Spirit Stones. I want a Tier Two Demon Pill.”

”A Tier Two Demon Pill?”

That price isn’t cheap. A Tier Two Demon Pill, a decent one, costs twenty to thirty Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

”Yes, just a Tier Two Lower Grade is enough.”

Bai Piao said with a smile, as if a Tier Two Lower Grade Demon Pill would be very cheap.

Of course, Ji Yuan was prepared to make the exchange, but not right now. If he took out a Tier Two Demon Pill for the transaction now, it would make him seem too wealthy. So he appeared to hesitate for a long time, then returned the black coffin in his hand.

”Alright then, Daoist Bai, give me a few more days to gather it. If it’s really impossible, I can pay a deposit first.”

Ji Yuan said through gritted teeth.

”There’s no need for a deposit. We are destined to be friends. Naturally, I’ll keep this item for you, Daoist Ji.”

Isn’t it because it’s a Yin item, extremely difficult to sell in the Water Dragon Sect? Sounds better than it is... Ji Yuan mocked in his heart, but his face showed a deeply moved expression.

”Wonderful, from now on, Daoist Bai is my friend!”

”Brother Ji.”

”Brother Bai!”

The two appeared as if they regretted not meeting sooner.

Then Bai Piao put away the black coffin, dispelled the array, opened the door to the room, and returned to the sunlight, both resuming their previous indifferent demeanor, as if they were completely different people from a moment ago.

Ji Yuan planned to return to Mist Island before coming to make the transaction.

So he left first and headed to the Hundred Treasures Tower on the highest point of All Things Island.

Once there, he could start transacting freely.

Thus, he sold the accumulated Water Dew, Blood Essence, and many Talismans he had crafted, along with some refined Elixirs.

Additionally, he sold some assorted items he got from Jian Sect, which were of no use to him.

He didn’t sell Jian Sect’s Flying Boat, for fear of trouble after the sale. Ji Yuan planned to deal with it at a city somewhere else later.

Yet, even without selling the Flying Boat, just disposing of these items brought him nearly 40 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, plus what he previously obtained from Jian Sect.

After deducting the expenses of buying various herbs previously, he had 137 Mid-grade Spirit Stones left.

He inadvertently accumulated a fortune once again.

Spirit Stones certainly couldn’t be hoarded. Hoarded Spirit Stones are just prepared for others, like Jian Sect.

So next, Ji Yuan replaced all his Magical Artifacts he used regularly.

The Superior-grade Qingfu Flying Sword was swapped for an Ultimate-grade Flying Sword ”Purple Thunder.”

The speed increased significantly, and each attack carried a lightning effect, making it exceedingly powerful.

The Superior-grade Magical Artifact Spirit Water Needle, used for sneak attacks, was replaced at once with... a Low-grade Spiritual Artifact!

This Spiritual Artifact Flying Needle was still a single piece, named Mirage Needle.

The needle creates illusions to confuse the enemy. Even Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators might not detect this flying needle if their Divine Sense isn’t strong.

The kill effect is astonishing.

Of course, the price is also astonishing.

This was the first time Ji Yuan purchased a Spiritual Artifact. Along with that Ultimate-grade Flying Sword, the two together cost him a total of 96 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Just the Mirage Needle alone cost him 80 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

But all of this was to strengthen himself, so Ji Yuan wasn’t pained by the expense.

After buying these things, he arrived at the Talisman Tower to inquire about the price of a complete set of Five Elements Talismanic Technique, only to be shocked by the price.

A complete set of Five Elements Talismanic Technique came in three kinds.

One set was the Five Elements Attack Talisman.

Another set was the Five Elements Protective Talisman.

The last set was the Five Elements Stealth Talisman.

Among these three sets, even the cheapest Five Elements Protective Talisman required 30 Mid-grade Spirit Stones; next were the Five Elements Attack Talismans, needing 40 stones, and the Five Elements Stealth Talismans required 50 stones.

Expensive, surely with good reason.

The Five Elements Protective Talisman, for example, activates a Protective Talisman Array with just a set of five, greatly enhancing its power.

The upgrade required for the Talisman Room, Ji Yuan had to grit his teeth and buy it, silently vowing that once he succeeded, he’d earn back the money he spent on this talismanic technique regardless of anything else.

After purchasing these items, he returned to Chulong Island.

But before he could reach his doorstep, just as he descended from the sky on the Scarlet Skies Skiff, he noticed someone standing at his door, seemingly waiting specifically for him.
