Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 228: Chapter 149: Foundation Establishment Today! [Triple-Length Mega Chapter]

After just a moment, a water-blue escape light landed beside Feng Yichen, transforming into the appearance of Master Xuan Shui.

”I went to investigate the Sect Protection Array, he hasn’t left, he’s still within our sect.”

”Hasn’t left, huh.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yichen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Still within the sect, then it cannot really be considered betrayal; as long as it’s not such a grave offense, it has nothing to do with oneself, so it’s fine.

”Sect Leader, should we continue searching?”

Feng Yichen cupped his hands and asked.

”Search?”

Master Xuan Shui shook his head, ”If he doesn’t want to go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven, what good is it to actually find him?”

”Let him be, our Water Dragon Sect hasn’t fallen to the extent of having to rely on a Qi Cultivation Stage individual.”

Master Xuan Shui waved his hand after speaking, ”Go back and prepare well.”

”Yes.”

”Disciple takes his leave.”

Feng Yichen left.

Master Xuan Shui didn’t feel much about it. Although his tolerance wasn’t large, it wasn’t so small as to bicker with a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple.

Of course, he didn’t forget to instruct people at the Sect Protection Array to keep an eye on Ji Yuan’s aura.

If Ji Yuan passes through the Sect Protection Array to leave, they should send him a message.

At that time, Master Xuan Shui would find time to meet this boy named Ji Yuan, not to make things difficult, just to ask him why he is unwilling to go to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven.

Could it be, he really doesn’t want to establish his Foundation?

After the thought passed, Master Xuan Shui discarded the matter.

There are many affairs in the Water Dragon Sect, he doesn’t have the time to worry about such minor matters.

It wouldn’t be long before the team heading to the Nine Nether Cave Heaven would set out.

...

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yuan completed warming the furnace and also attempted to refine three batches of Spirit Gathering Pills. Except for the first batch turning into Pill Furnace Ash due to poorly controlled Earth Vein Fire, the other two batches succeeded.

With everything ready, Ji Yuan proceeded to attempt the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

According to the experience and memory provided by the panel, the refinement of the Foundation Establishment Pill differs from other elixirs.

Typically, in the fusion process of elixirs, the main herb is fused first.

But not for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Establishment Pill requires the fusion of a Demon Pill first, once the Demon Pill is fused, it’s then supplemented with Triple Flower Dew, transforming it into ”Elixir”.

Once the elixir appears, the Illusion Spirit Grass and Qinghui Grass are added, refined with Martial Fire until the potion turns golden, then gentiana and other auxiliary herbs are added.

When all medicinal materials transform into golden potion, the second step of pill refining can begin—Impurity Removal.

Impurity Removal needs a fierce fire attack.

However, the main herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill are all thousand-year-grade herbs, even the impurities at this level of herbs are old impurities, which normal fire cannot burn away.

The Demon Pill is the same.

The Demon Pill contains the Spiritual Qi absorbed by the demon throughout its life, with a complex composition, like some demons that lived in toxic miasma areas, or are inherently poisonous beasts.

Their Demon Pills contain a lot of impurities.

To prepare for this Foundation Establishment Pill refinement, Ji Yuan deliberately prepared five mid-stage Tier Two Demon Pills with pure spiritual power.

This includes the Demon Pill of a large snake from the Mist Area, and afterward, the Big Toad hunted two Fish Demons elsewhere.

The remaining two were exchanged by Ji Yuan at the Suspended Demon Shop using early-stage Tier Two Demon Pills.

All for today!

The Foundation Establishment Pill refined from mid-stage Tier Two Demon Pills should be of higher quality than those refined from early-stage Tier Two Demon Pills.

”Ignite!”

Ji Yuan focused his mind and pinched a fire-controlling technique, immediately invoking the Earth Vein Fire.

With a light ”Boom—”, under the Scarlet Blood Tripod Cauldron, ghostly blue flames immediately began burning.

The flames scorched the already warm bottom of the furnace.

Ji Yuan waited for a moment, estimating that the temperature was about right, then manipulated his divine sense to summon a Demon Pill, and placed it into the Pill Furnace.

”Set off!”

With the shout of a Golden Core Elder, a gigantic building-like flying boat immediately ascended from the main island of Water Dragon Sect, disappearing into the clouds, then heading west.

On the deck of the building boat, although there were clearly hundreds of people, no one spoke.

Everyone was either standing or sitting, each lost in their thoughts.

Some leaned against the railing, gazing through the gaps in the clouds at the Water Dragon Sect below with a vacant look.

Among these people, naturally, was also Du Wanyi.

She was wearing the standard magic robe of the Water Dragon Sect, her facial features slightly concealed, her originally outstanding appearance now hidden among the crowd, appearing unremarkable.

She watched the islands passing through the clouds below, and couldn’t help but think.

What is Ji Yuan doing now?

He never cultivates on Chulong Island, this fact unknown to outsiders, but known to the familiar Du Wanyi.

Even though Ji Yuan always excuses himself saying he’s gone out on missions.

But with his personality, would he go out to do missions?

Those 100 merit points a year were likely all completed by submitting Talismans, right.

Du Wanyi knew, but she never exposed it.

So now he’s likely hiding somewhere in a cave mansion, cultivating alone?

When it comes to cultivation, Du Wanyi truly admires Ji Yuan.

At such a young and prosperous age, to withstand the loneliness of arduous practice, such a person... has an extremely firm will.

The vast majority of cultivators can endure hardship, but after some time, they think of relaxing themselves.

Either going out to eat and drink.

Or seeking pleasure, listening to music in brothels.

Some like to experience the thrill of life and death combat.

Even Du Wanyi herself finds it hard to endure the solitude of cultivation, she likes excitement.

Therefore, even when joining a faction, she chose the lively Shui Yi Hall.
