Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 185: Chapter 135: The Opening of the Nine Nether Grotto Heaven!

Phoenix Peach looked at Ji Yuan in this state, snorted, and didn’t say anything, just headed inside the house.

Ji Yuan couldn’t figure out this senior’s temperament and had to hurriedly follow.

Phoenix Peach entered the house, apparently even more familiar with it than Ji Yuan.

Sometimes she would stare blankly here, sometimes lost in thought there.

Ji Yuan understood because Phoenix Peach wasn’t looking at the place now, but at her path coming here... She must have lived in this house for a very long time.

After looking around the front yard, the two came to the back courtyard under the wall.

Phoenix Peach looked at her own inscriptions, also looked at others’ inscriptions, and murmured softly, ”That old man is dead too.”

”Since this house was built, you are the fifth owner living here.” After saying this, Phoenix Peach turned to look at Ji Yuan and smiled, ”You’re going to open an island at least, right?”

Opening an island also means establishing a foundation.

Ji Yuan smiled wryly and said, ”I will try my best, senior brother.”

”Hmph.”

After her emotions subsided, Phoenix Peach reverted to her previous lively state.

”I couldn’t tell, but you’re quite handsome, and you love tidying up. I thought your house would be as messy as my senior brothers’ places.”

That’s because I had a female ghost at home specifically responsible for tidying up for me... Ji Yuan recalled before getting Tu Yue in Zengtou City.

His place was also chaotic, especially when the [pigsty][chicken cage]were both at home.

At that time, upon entering the house, there was a stench.

Phoenix Peach led the way and also took Ji Yuan on a tour of the house, finally arriving inside the alchemy room in the front courtyard, ”This is where I used to do alchemy.”

”Come on, which elixir are you planning to use to attempt to become a Tier Two Alchemist? Make a batch and let me see.”

Phoenix Peach was prepared to give Ji Yuan guidance.

”Water Spirit Pill.”

Ji Yuan hurriedly replied.

”Water Spirit Pill? Alright, that’s not difficult.”

After speaking, Phoenix Peach stepped back a few steps, leaving the center of the alchemy room free.

Ji Yuan quietly glanced at her and, seeing she wasn’t faking it, took out his high-grade alchemy furnace and various newly purchased medicinal ingredients from his storage bag.

Phoenix Peach stepped forward to inspect them.

”The pill furnace is nice, you’re willing to spend money, let me tell you, we alchemists must be willing to spend money on the alchemy furnace. A good furnace is half the success.”

”Keep striving, then change to a spiritual artifact level alchemy furnace, by that time inside will be inscribed with various arrays assisting alchemy, making your pill-making efforts twice as effective.”

”The medicinal ingredients are okay too, let me tell you, a batch of good ingredients is also half the success.”

Phoenix Peach nagged non-stop.

Ji Yuan couldn’t help but interject with a smile: ”According to senior sister’s words, both are half of the success; doesn’t that leave us alchemists out of it?”

”How dare you talk back, asking for a beating!”

Phoenix Peach said, raising her right hand as if she wanted to give Ji Yuan a flick on the forehead.

But when she lifted her hand, she realized Ji Yuan was much taller than her, and she might have to jump to hit him if she didn’t use magic.

Her pretty face turned red, and she glared and said:

”Do you still want me to teach you? Hurry up and make the pill, dawdling like this, it’s clear you’re not cut out for great things!”

This master uncle looks so fierce... Never mind, if she can teach me alchemy, help me elevate my alchemy to Tier Two, she’s a good master uncle.

Ji Yuan quickly stepped forward to start processing the medicinal ingredients, catching sight of Phoenix Peach showing no unusual behavior, he quietly activated the [Enlightenment Room].

The building’s appearance naturally couldn’t be opened, just its effects.

And after activation, Phoenix Peach felt nothing.

Without insurance, there would be no abnormalities.

Moreover, regarding enlightenment, a virtual and elusive thing, she was even less able to detect it.

Ji Yuan began processing the medicinal ingredients, she came over to watch without saying anything to disturb him, just watched silently, watched as Ji Yuan processed the ingredients, then watched as he opened the furnace and ignited the flame, then watched him ”fuse and extract,” ”remove impurities,” ”form the pill.”

In the end, unsurprisingly, he failed to form a pill.

Sitting in front of the alchemy furnace, Ji Yuan looked at the broken medicinal residue, and looked up at Phoenix Peach, smiling wryly, ”Senior sister, you see, just like this.”

Phoenix Peach placed her left hand in front of her chest, virtually supporting her right elbow, while delicately rubbing her chin with her right hand.

”There is nothing wrong with your alchemy method, the reason for the failure lies in your handling of the medicinal properties among these many herbs. When you are fusing and extracting, you need to position the medicinal property of the Water Clear Fruit at the top...”

When an expert makes a move, success is in sight.

When Phoenix Peach spoke, Ji Yuan understood what it meant to be a Tier Two High Grade Alchemist.

With just a few words of guidance, she opened up a whole new understanding for Ji Yuan.

Just as Phoenix Peach finished explaining and Ji Yuan was ready to start another batch of pills, Phoenix Peach’s eyes suddenly became dazed, as if she had thought of something.

Or rather, she had realized something.

Her eyes gradually turned golden, and her entire being froze on the spot.

Ji Yuan looked at her like this... Damn, did she attain sudden enlightenment?!

Explaining alchemy to me, and instead she talked herself into enlightenment?

Is her talent inherently high, or is the effect of my Level 2 [Enlightenment Room] just too strong?

Ji Yuan glanced at the control panel; if Phoenix Peach herself was trapped by some bottleneck or shackles, she could receive a 30% boost in enlightenment. In this way, sudden enlightenment seemed a reasonable outcome.

The gold in her eyes became more intense. Subsequently, Ji Yuan felt that the surrounding air was imbued with a hot aura.
