Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 297: Chapter 171: Tier 2 Array Master

Hu Li then said, ”I heard there’s a big figure from the west, who has now settled in the north. I plan to seek refuge with him.”

”How big?”

After some hesitation, Turing asked.

If this big figure was significant enough, Turing wouldn’t mind following along.

”It’s said that this big figure’s father is an ancestor.”

”What?”

Feng Xiuxiu exclaimed in surprise.

What does it mean to be an ancestor?

Foundation Establishment could also be considered an ancestor, but to be mentioned by Hu Li like this, that ancestor is most likely a Nascent Soul ancestor.

Turing thought for a moment, then asked, ”If such a figure infiltrated our Shang Dong, there must be a Golden Core Zhenren escorting, right? Wouldn’t the higher-ups of Shang Mountain be unaware of a Golden Core entering the territory?”

”I don’t know about that. I just heard of this opportunity and plan to give it a try. As for you two, it’s up to what you think.”

Hu Li shook his head and said.

”Is there a possibility that this Golden Core...is originally our Shang Dong’s Golden Core?”

Feng Xiuxiu slowly expressed her thought.

”Hiss...”

Turing looked surprised, ”Sister Feng, what do you think?”

”Since it’s such an opportunity, I plan to go with Brother Hu first. What about you?”

”I... Fine, since you both are going, I might as well not go. I’ll just stay hidden for now, and see what happens when the situation develops.”

Turing’s sudden reversal left Feng Xiuxiu unable to react.

”That works too.”

”Then I’ll head over with Sister Feng first. Brother Tu, if you have any thoughts, you can send me a communication later.”

”Okay.”

”...”

Ji Yuan weighed the storage bag in his hand and walked out of Water Dragon Island with Liu Yuan.

In just a few days, Liu Yuan, who initially seemed gravely injured, now showed no signs of injury at all... This made Ji Yuan realize that this fellow was a sly old fox.

”Brother Liu, are we being paid the standard rate?”

Ji Yuan asked Liu Yuan through a transmission.

Simply put, Ji Yuan received more remuneration than he expected on this trip to Water Dragon Island.

Wu Nanchun previously hinted there were around 200 to nearly 300 mid-grade Spirit Stones, which Ji Yuan thought was about right, but in reality?

Master Xuan Shui gave Ji Yuan a total of 400 mid-grade Spirit Stones.

This was even without completing a full three years.

”No, we’ve received more than the standard rate, so Brother Ji, don’t easily disclose our remuneration to others.”

Liu Yuan explained through a transmission.

”Alright.”

While nodding, Ji Yuan asked another question, ”Do we receive more each time, or is it just this first time?”

”It’s more each time, so whenever you need Spirit Stones, you can talk to Sect Leader Martial Uncle, and he will arrange extra assignments for you. Overall, it’s safer compared to hunting Demon Beasts.”

”Understood, thank you, Brother Liu.”

Ji Yuan finally understood why so many Foundation Establishment cultivators wanted to become disciples of Golden Core Zhenren.

It turns out, besides the obvious benefits, the sect also has many hidden perks... How wonderful!

”Why is Brother Ji also heading north? I remember your island is in the south.”

”I plan to visit my second senior brother along the way.”

”Oh, Isle Master Tianshu, right.” When mentioning this person, Liu Yuan’s expression showed no change whatsoever.

”Exactly.”

Half a day later, Ji Yuan arrived at Yun Qianzai’s Tianshu Island for the first time.

As for how he found Tianshu Island, he had initially sent a communication to Yun Qianzai, who told him the approximate location. When Ji Yuan asked which specific island it was, Yun Qianzai simply said.

”You’ll know which island is mine at a glance once you arrive.”

Now that Ji Yuan was here, he indeed immediately recognized which island was Tianshu Island.

There was no way around it; it was just too conspicuous.

Ji Yuan arrived during the night, and amidst the pitch darkness, there was one island emitting a glow.

That island... was very tall, or more accurately, it had a very tall mountain, as if in the middle of a flat expanse, there was a pillar reaching to the sky.

Additionally, at the top of that high mountain, there was a high platform constructed, and whatever array was used there, it was emitting brilliant light.

Ji Yuan’s flying boat stopped on the water, and looking up, he felt as though this mountain peak had a large lamp, though the lamp only shed some light below.

But most of the radiance was aimed at the outer sky.

”What on earth, Senior Brother, are you trying to send coordinates to the Trisolarians or something? Doing this...”

Ji Yuan watched this scene, genuinely clueless about Yun Qianzai’s intentions, though perhaps Yun Qianzai had no particular intention.

Ji Yuan stopped here and took out Yun Qianzai’s Communication Talisman to send another message.

”Junior Brother, just come in.”

Yun Qianzai did not use transmission but instead directly shouted, causing echoes as if afraid others wouldn’t know his junior brother had come to visit.

What the heck... Ji Yuan saw the array open a gap and immediately slipped through.

The array closed again, and Ji Yuan found himself inside... the array.

”What, Senior Brother, you?”

Ji Yuan sensed everything around him. This array was a Tier Two Array. Once he landed, the surrounding mist immediately dissipated, revealing eight small paths.

Yun Qianzai’s hearty voice rang in Ji Yuan’s ears.

”Since Junior Brother came to exchange experiences in Array Dao, the exchange has already begun. Try out my self-created Four Gates Eight Paths Array.”

Yun Qianzai emphasized the word ”self-created” heavily.

As if fearing Ji Yuan wouldn’t hear it clearly enough.

At that moment, Ji Yuan immediately understood and realized why Yun Qianzai invited him repeatedly, it was to show off his array!
