Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 303: Chapter 173: Dragon Fortune Sword Embryo

Moreover, in present-day Lishui City, there is actually a Foundation Establishment pinnacled cultivator from the Water Dragon Sect guarding it, namely Liu Yuan’s senior sister, the one carrying a giant sword, ”Rou Yi”.

If even she can’t protect it, then there’s only one possibility.

A Golden Core cultivator from the Demon Sect has come, and if that’s truly the case... then Ji Yuan has nothing to say.

Two days later, just as Ji Yuan was preparing to set out to try his luck at Li Hua River, he received two transmissions, both sent one after the other.

One was from Han Feiyu.

”Brother Ji, I heard Junior Sister Dong successfully reached Foundation Establishment not long ago. Do you have any free time recently? How about coming over to my place to sit for a while?”

Han Feiyu’s island is called ”Luo Hun Island,” which is why he’s also known as the Island Master of Luo Hun Island.

His island is not far to the west of the main island of the Water Dragon Sect, built very grandly and imposingly.

He even recruited a few Qi Cultivation stage female cultivators as maids, presenting the demeanor of a ”Foundation Establishment cultivator”.

Ji Yuan only visited his place once during the island opening ceremony, and hadn’t been there since.

But now... Han Feiyu seems to be judging the situation a bit too much.

Previously, Han Feiyu’s indifference to the Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association is understandable, as those people had never treated Han Feiyu kindly before.

But after he reached Foundation Establishment, he also distanced himself from Dong Qian.

Though Dong Qian never explicitly mentioned this to Ji Yuan,

he noticed that since Han Feiyu’s ascendancy to Foundation Establishment, he hadn’t had any interaction with Dong Qian.

Now that Dong Qian has just reached Foundation Establishment, Han Feiyu proposes a gathering.

It’s a bit too obvious...

Ji Yuan understands and respects it, as in the cultivation realm, there are many people like Han Feiyu, and interpersonal relationships are inherently a matter of mutual benefit.

During the Qi Cultivation stage, Dong Qian was of no help to Han Feiyu, so he distanced himself.

Now that Dong Qian has attained Foundation Establishment, she’s again of help to Han Feiyu, so naturally, he wants to get closer, even without much prompting, Ji Yuan can guess.

When Dong Qian opens her island, Han Feiyu will certainly present a hefty gift.

To make up for the previous distancing.

”Fair enough, fair enough.”

Ji Yuan chuckled, brushing it off, neither committing to go nor refusing.

The other transmission was from Du Wanyi, who presumably also heard about Dong Qian’s Foundation Establishment, so she inquired whether Ji Yuan was on Wuyou Island, and if so, she would come over.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, deciding a day or two wouldn’t matter much.

He then returned to Wuyou Island to meet Du Wanyi.

”So, has Second Sister finally decided to proceed with Foundation Establishment?”

Ji Yuan asked with a smile.

Originally, when Du Wanyi came out from the Nine Nether Cave Heaven, Ji Yuan helped her refine 8 Foundation Establishment Pills.

Over the past two years, Ji Yuan had also used some excuse to help purchase two One-Stripe Foundation Establishment Pills for her.

Of course, Du Wanyi only paid for one Foundation Establishment Pill.

The other is still on credit.

The fact that she could even afford one Foundation Establishment Pill is because she found those two Peak of Qi Refining storage bags in the Nine Nether Cave Heaven.

During the Qi Cultivation stage, having someone as wealthy as Dong Qian... probably is unique to her.

So currently, Du Wanyi had a total of 10 Foundation Establishment Pills, meaning she could have attempted Foundation Establishment a long time ago.

When there were not enough Foundation Establishment Pills, Du Wanyi was quite anxious, but when they became plentiful, she wasn’t in a hurry anymore.

She told Ji Yuan that there was still time, so she might as well perfect her mastery of Qi Refining to its peak.

Striving for wholeness before attempting Foundation Establishment would ensure success in one go.

”Yes, Senior Sister Dong has reached Foundation Establishment, so I can’t hold back my thoughts any longer.”

Du Wanyi candidly admitted.

”That’s good, it’s reassuring to attain Foundation Establishment sooner.”

Ji Yuan remained with a cheerful demeanor.

Whether Du Wanyi said she would not attempt Foundation Establishment or now says she’s ready to do it, Ji Yuan responded positively.

Refraining from meddling in others’ choices and lives, Ji Yuan believed it to be a virtue.

Dong Qian is 41, while Du Wanyi is now 38, slightly younger, and theoretically, she could wait a bit longer, but now that her heart is set on establishing her foundation, there’s no need to wait any longer.

”Yeah, I’m planning to head to Water Dragon Island to enter closed-door cultivation and breakthrough in a couple of days, I’ll come visit Fourth Brother once I come out.”

Du Wanyi said with a smile.

”Good...”

Ji Yuan was about to nod and agree, but suddenly, as if something came to mind, his smile momentarily paused before quickly returning to normal.

So much so that Du Wanyi didn’t even notice.

”This... Second Sister, take this.”

Just as Du Wanyi was about to leave, Ji Yuan extended his hand, handing over a jade bottle.

”Fourth Brother, what’s this?”

Inside the jade bottle lay two round Foundation Establishment Pills, one two-striped, the other one-striped.

”I already have 10 Foundation Establishment Pills; it must be enough.”

”Keep it with you, it’s better to be prepared just in case. If you don’t end up needing these two, just return them to me after your seclusion. If you do use them... well, you’ll have to repay the debt after reaching Foundation Establishment.”

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

After a brief hesitation, Du Wanyi accepted them.

”Fine, I’ll sell myself to you to repay the debt when the time comes.”

”But Fourth Brother... where did you get so many Foundation Establishment Pills?”

”The previous two were purchased for you with Flower Spirit Stones, and these two... did I not mention earlier that I killed a couple of Demon Cultivators? I procured them from their storage bags. Demon Cultivators, after all, are quite wealthy.”

Ji Yuan said matter-of-factly.

”That’s true.”

After pocketing the two Foundation Establishment Pills, Du Wanyi exchanged a few more words before taking her leave.
