Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 205: Chapter 141: [Meditation Room: Level 1]_3

Although this rank is lower, it might be more inconspicuous.

But isn’t it a bit too low? For a dignified master at the peak of Qi Refining, if you spread the word about a mid-grade magic robe, who wouldn’t know you’re hiding something?

For the current Ji Yuan, the most suitable is still the standard magic robe of the Water Dragon Sect. It’s the most commonly worn within the sect, and very ordinary.

Still need to go to the Hundred Treasures Tower on All Things Island to buy a few supplementary herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Previously, at the auction, I got two thousand-year-old green spike grasses, now that the main herbs are gathered, the supplementary ones need to catch up.

Oh right.

And this spirit wine should also be taken over, it’s been a few months since the last task was submitted. Can’t keep them waiting forever.

Occasionally teasing is enough.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan returned to the [Wine Cellar], took out over ten jars of spirit wine, still selected a few jars of each kind, so that even if not submitted, they can be in his storage bag, available for his own consumption.

Or given to Elder Xu and Isle Master Tie Chui.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan took a few more jars.

After tidying up, he also took away what Tu Yue had collected over this time, to sell when he gets the chance.

Something like Blood Essence, as the war over at Liancheng Mountain subsides,

its price also goes back down, as with other Tier One talismans and elixirs.

After a while, a Scarlet Skies Skiff sailed away from this Mist Area, heading straight for Water Dragon Sect.

This time returning to the sect, Ji Yuan still didn’t rush back to Chulong Island but went to All Things Island first. He planned on buying things before returning to Chulong Island via Thousand Mechanism Island.

Whether it’s supplementary herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill or standard magic robes of the Water Dragon Sect, they must be purchased at the Hundred Treasures Tower.

Thus, Ji Yuan went directly to the highest point on All Things Island, ran around the towers a few times, and left with the things he needed.

Incidentally, also sold a few top-grade magical artifacts, since they aren’t obvious, the spiritual artifacts weren’t sold off yet.

When he came out from the Hundred Treasures Tower,

the magic robe he wore changed from the previous mid-grade magic robe to the Water Dragon Sect’s standard upper-grade magic robe again.

Just as he was about to leave All Things Island and head for Thousand Mechanism Island, a flying boat suddenly landed next to him.

”Damn, I knew I didn’t see wrong. Where have you been making fortunes lately? Haven’t seen you in months.”

A familiar voice came to his ears; hearing it, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but feel delighted and immediately said with a smile: ”I went to retreat and breakthrough cultivation, Grandmaster Xu, see what stage I’ve reached now.”

As Ji Yuan spoke, he revealed the cultivation level of his peak Qi Refining.

Xu Fugui, who put away the flying boat, walked up to pat him on the shoulder, ”Not bad, didn’t let your old man down.”

Since Ji Yuan joined the Water Dragon Sect, Xu Fugui’s attitude towards him has become even more casual.

And this simple excuse stopped Xu Fugui from dwelling on previous matters.

Ji Yuan could guess that over these months, Xu Fugui must have visited his courtyard to look for him.

But every time he encountered a closed door.

Thus, Ji Yuan used breaking through in cultivation as an excuse, as no matter what, there’s nothing more important than a breakthrough.

”Where is Grandmaster Xu heading to?”

”Where else, my master messaged, wanting to drink, asked me to go over and accompany him, bringing some side dishes along too.”

Xu Fugui said with some dissatisfaction, ”I was cultivating, and still have to go accompany him, really a post-meal pastime.”

In spite of his words, the relationship between him and his master indeed made Ji Yuan a bit envious.

”Let’s go, shall we? I’ll also visit Elder Tie Chui.”

Although Ji Yuan is busy with cultivation, he can afford to spare one day.

Moreover, a large part of why his physique could break through is due to Isle Master Tie Chui’s help.

Now going to express gratitude is only proper.

”Sure, then I’ll go buy more meat.”

Xu Fugui said as he was about to head for the island.

”Why buy? I have it, and drinks too.”

As Ji Yuan spoke, he took out a piece of Tier Two demon beast meat and flashed it, Xu Fugui took a look.

”Alright, then we eat yours this time, not bad, even the meat is Tier Two.”

Xu Fugui laughed and said.

With Ji Yuan getting better and better, he naturally was happy.

”Of course, if it weren’t for the fact that the Tier Three demon beast meat I bought last time was all gone, I’d definitely get a big one this time.”

Hanging out with him, Ji Yuan began to boast.

”Boasting big, huh? Why not say eating transformed demon beast meat?”

”Psh, that meat’s too tough, gets stuck in your teeth...”

”...”

One day later.

Hammer Island.

Isle Master Tie Chui was naturally delighted to see Ji Yuan coming to see him.

So he immediately said: ”Come on, Ji, let’s have a spar first.”

What he meant by sparring was naturally the close combat between body cultivators.

Ji Yuan hesitated... last time he was worried Isle Master Tie Chui might beat him to death, but this time he feared he might beat Isle Master Tie Chui to death.

Being a Foundation Establishment body cultivator is no joke!

”What are you afraid of, I won’t be merciless, at most you’ll need a few days to recover.”

Isle Master Tie Chui nonchalantly dragged Ji Yuan to the backyard, which was previously where Ji Yuan achieved body refinement.

Once in, Ji Yuan noticed the tripod had changed.

Previously it was a huge artifact refining tripod two people high, now it was a smaller half-person-high bronze tripod.

”This...”

Ji Yuan broke free from Isle Master Tie Chui’s grasp and stepped up to the bronze tripod.

As a ”Pill Master” who had stepped into the second rank of alchemy, he naturally could discern this was an elixir cauldron.

And it was a Second Rank Elixir Cauldron!

”Ahem, senior, Elder Tie Chui?”

Ji Yuan’s voice became rather fawning.

Isle Master Tie Chui obviously saw through Ji Yuan’s intentions, so with arms folded across his chest, he looked down at Ji Yuan and said:

”What, you a pill master too, kid?”

”As an incompetent junior, I have indeed reached the second rank in alchemy.” Ji Yuan rubbed his hands and sheepishly said:

”And right now, I’m in need of a handy second rank elixir cauldron.”

The Second Rank Elixir Cauldron is also a Spiritual Artifact Elixir Cauldron.

Not cheap.

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Isle Master Tie Chui walked over to the elixir cauldron, easily lifting the bronze cauldron.

Only then did Ji Yuan notice, at the bottom of the elixir cauldron, was scarlet in color.

This look suggests firing it up would yield twice the results with half the effort, especially useful for refining second tier elixirs.

”This elixir cauldron isn’t cheap, just crafting it took me eighty-one days.”

”Ahem.”

Trailing behind, Xu Fugui immediately said: ”Master, didn’t you tell me last time it was forty-nine days?”

”Hey, you little old bugger.”

Isle Master Tie Chui casually tossed the elixir cauldron on the ground, pointed at Xu Fugui and scolded: ”Am I your master or is he your master? Dammit, siding with outsiders.”

Xu Fugui wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

”Master, you call me a little old man, he calls me grandpa, so who should I help? If you dare, you can call me too...”

”Ouch, ouch, ouch.”

Before Xu Fugui finished speaking, Isle Master Tie Chui stepped up, grabbed his ear, clearly having no regard for this eighty to ninety-year-old senior.

Ignoring their playful squabble, Ji Yuan approached the elixir cauldron for a closer look.

This elixir cauldron, estimated to be a mid-stage Second Rank cauldron, would definitely suffice for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, securing this cauldron would expedite his journey along this medicinal path.

”What, are you really interested in this Scarlet Blood Tripod Cauldron?”

At some point, Isle Master Tie Chui had returned to Ji Yuan’s side.

”Yes!”

Ji Yuan nodded vigorously.

A cauldron like this is rare, if taken to the Cyan Leaf Auction House, it would likely end up on the auction block.

”But it’s not cheap.”

Isle Master Tie Chui placed his hands on his hips, smiling as he looked at the young man before him.

Ji Yuan glanced at his storage bag, having just defeated a Foundation Establishment Stage person, his spirit stone count added up to 485, mid-grade.

If it’s not enough, he still has several top-notch magical artifacts to trade.

It should be enough to secure it.

”Might I ask, elder, what is the price?”
