Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 333: Chapter 183: Unexpected Reunion with an Old Acquaintance

Even the wild boar was killed by the two of them and completely consumed.

”That is Liancheng Mountain.”

Liu Yuan pointed to the distant mountain range shrouded in layers of arrays and said.

The two paused slightly there, and a streak of light rose from within the mountains, reaching the sound before the person arrived.

”This place is the forbidden zone of the Three Sects, you’d better leave quickly!”

The light landed in front of the two and transformed into a long-faced man stepping on a flying sword.

Ji Yuan glanced at him. Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. Judging from the Yang Pattern Pill Furnace on his chest, he should be a cultivator from Medicine King Valley.

I don’t know if killing him would be troublesome. If I need to make a move, it must be swift to prevent him from using a Talisman Treasure. Those who can guard this place are mostly disciples of Golden Core cultivators, having a Talisman Treasure is not uncommon... Ji Yuan instinctively started thinking about killing.

Liu Yuan chuckled, joined Ji Yuan, and made a gesture to remove their disguises.

The deep blue Magic Robe appeared, declaring their identity.

”Ah, so it’s a fellow from the Water Dragon Sect. I am Danchengzi. Greetings to you two Daoists.”

Since they were fellow Daoists, Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan naturally reported their names. Liu Yuan reported as Liu Yuan Shangren, and Ji Yuan as Isle Master Wuyou.

After exchanging names, this Danchengzi was the first to return to Liancheng Mountain.

Liu Yuan then sent a message to Ji Yuan saying, ”He’s gone to report back, we should hurry too, so as not to embarrass our Water Dragon Sect if they stop us.”

”Yes.”

It wasn’t long before they approached the Liancheng Mountain array and took out the token issued by Master Xuan Shui.

The brilliance flashed, and they were already inside the array.

Ji Yuan was seeing a Spirit Vein for the first time... Well, the Spirit Vein is underground, nothing to be seen.

From this aerial view, part of the mountain seemed to be shaved off, with an extremely smooth cut surface.

The person who cut this mountain likely did it with one move.

Ji Yuan estimated it was done by a Golden Core Zhenren, not an ordinary one, perhaps mid-stage Golden Core.

At the foot of this cut mountain face, there was an obvious dark cave entrance, seemingly leading directly to the Spirit Vein underground. Outside this cave entrance, there were also cultivators from the Three Immortal Sects guarding.

This was just the entrance to the Spirit Vein.

The residence of the Three Immortal Sects was not here.

Ji Yuan didn’t dare use his Divine Sense, only scanning with the naked eye.

The Water Dragon Sect’s residence was on the northern side of Liancheng Mountain, by a lake, where a water village stood, with rows of houses built on the shore.

The Medicine King Valley’s residence was halfway up Liancheng Mountain, where caves were dug into the stone walls.

Ji Yuan guessed the residence of Joy Palace was likely on the southern side of Liancheng Mountain, since he didn’t see it.

The two swept their eyes swiftly over the scene and reached the air above the Water Dragon Sect’s residence before they had a chance to look in detail...

...

A moment later.

Ji Yuan met three other Foundation Establishment cultivators on duty here in the residence.

The leading person was undoubtedly Rou Yi, at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, whom the two had seen once outside Lishui City before and were not unfamiliar. She was still carrying that familiar giant sword.

Among the other two, one person’s identity left Ji Yuan somewhat surprised.

Isle Master of Forest Wood, Yang Taian.

He was the elder brother of Yang Shunan, the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator whom Ji Yuan had used a Big Toad to kill in order to upgrade the Meditation Room.

After Ji Yuan joined the Water Dragon Sect, he had secretly investigated.

As it turned out, Yang Shunan didn’t delve into the cause of Yang Shunan’s death, and Ji Yuan let it go, not expecting to meet him here today.

Could it be he also apprenticed to a certain Golden Core Zhenren?

While Ji Yuan was wondering, Liu Yuan quickly provided an explanation via voice transmission.

”I just inquired with my Senior Sister about the situation. This Isle Master of Forest Wood wanted to apprentice under the Third Elder, but hasn’t succeeded yet. Presumably, he offered some good things, so Xiao Chengyi requested for him to remain here. As for the other, she is Senior Sister Yunmiao, a disciple of the Sect Leader Martial Uncle.”

Oh?

Someone left behind by Xiao Chengyi?

Ji Yuan took another look at Yang Taian opposite him.

The latter naturally thought Ji Yuan was being friendly, and returned a smile.

Ji Yuan: ”...”

The other, Isle Master of Cloud Mist, wore a pure white long dress, with a pure white veil covering her face, sitting there with a demeanor of keeping strangers at bay.

Just judging from her eyes, her appearance should be quite good.

”These are the newly arrived Junior Brother Liu Yuan and Junior Brother Wu You. In the coming years, everyone will be working together, I don’t care about your private matters, just one thing from me.”

When Rou Yi spoke, she crossed her legs without even opening her eyes to look at people.

To Ji Yuan, she seemed like a big sister figure from the underworld.

”As long as you’re at Liancheng Mountain for a day, you have to listen to me. If you can’t, go back to the sect now.”

Rou Yi held up her right thumb, pointing it down at herself.

Ji Yuan naturally had no objections. This area of Liancheng Mountain was indeed under Rou Yi’s control at present.

”If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as agreement. This is the situation at Liancheng Mountain, take some time to understand it, and you have three days to adjust. After three days, you will take turns on duty.”

Rou Yi said, throwing out a Jade Pendant, landing between Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan.

By the time Ji Yuan reacted and looked over, Senior Sister Rou Yi had already disappeared.

Such a decisive character... Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense penetrated the Jade Pendant, and after a moment, he had some understanding of the situation at Liancheng Mountain.

The contents of the Jade Pendant largely summarized the tasks of these Foundation Establishment cultivators.
