Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 427: Chapter 214: [Spiritual Energy Cannon] → [Meteor Cannon]_3

Ji Yuan felt one thing after reading it.

Damn, no wonder it’s called a cannon.

It’s already Level 3, and the Spirit Stones required for the upgrade are astronomical, plus you need to use a Tier Four Demon Pill.

Yet, there’s still no minimum guarantee output.

All it offers is a simple and pure effect... blasting a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

While chatting with Phoenix Peach and the others, Ji Yuan learned that Nascent Soul Cultivators are hard to kill because they can teleport with their Nascent Soul.

It’s just like the Escape Light possessed by Golden Core Stage cultivators; this alone makes it impossible for lower-level cultivators to ambush them.

But now, this [Starfall Cannon] can actually blast a Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Who knows exactly how it kills.

Surely, once activated, it must be extremely powerful.

At the same time, Ji Yuan also received feedback from this panel. The [Spiritual Energy Cannon] is different from others due to its special nature; it cannot be simply enchanted.

To put it bluntly, you can’t casually label it.

The effect of the [Spiritual Energy Cannon] can only be applied to the cannon itself, and if high level enchants low level, it works but with great loss.

Just like Ji Yuan’s current Level 2 [Spiritual Energy Cannon], if he applies this building effect to a Level 1 [Spiritual Energy Cannon].

It works and can unleash Peak Golden Core power, but maybe after just one shot, the cannon will be completely destroyed.

It’s definitely not your average structure.

But all this is too far away; Ji Yuan doesn’t have any of the many upgrade conditions yet.

At least he has to wait until Core Formation before he can consider upgrading the [Spiritual Energy Cannon] to [Starfall Cannon].

Moreover, Ji Yuan also learned a piece of information, that as the building continues to upgrade, its name can also change, such as [Spiritual Energy Cannon] becoming [Starfall Cannon].

So can the [Fish Pond] really evolve into [Dragon Pool]?

As for now, it’s time to consider setting off to forge the next sword embryo while the battle between the righteous and demonic has not started, to condense more sword embryos.

Relying on the Starfall River is a last resort.

With this thought, Ji Yuan didn’t delay any longer.

He first tidied up and arranged the Wuyou Island, then returned to Mist Island.

Once there, he had even more things to pack.

First was the Frost Serpent, which had now reached Mid-stage Second Rank, a top-notch support and had to be taken along.

Next were those demon cultivation techniques, the numerous Spiritual Artifacts used by demon cultivators.

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment corpse puppet, Yin Tongzi.

The rest of the Qi Cultivation Stage corpse puppets weren’t useful and had to be left on the island; hopefully he could pick up more bodies this trip.

Yin Ghost Banner and Thousand Souls Banner.

Plus the bee swarm in the [Beehive], which Ji Yuan had cultivated for a year at any cost, and now the number was considerable.

The bee swarm reached over 22,000 in number, and 6 Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees were bred. Although there was still some distance to his goal of forming a Bee King army, at least he saw some hope.

So he took away 16,000 bees, and also brought 5 of the Tier Two Spirit-Devouring Bees, leaving just one ”Bee King” behind.

There was nothing he could do before.

Now that there is a way, these Spirit-Devouring Bees still need a Bee King to manage, otherwise, they might scatter.

The remaining matters were some Elixirs and Talismans; Ji Yuan had saved quite a few over the past year.

Most of the Talismans were in the form of Talisman Arrays.

In Foundation Establishment Stage battles, simple Talismans can only be used as basic attacks, and to be truly effective, it requires a Talisman Array.

Of course, he didn’t forget about the Tri-colored Spirit Eggs; these had to be consumed consistently to be effective.

Once everything was packed, it was already late at night.

Ji Yuan came to the [Chaotic Burial Mound], and called out to Tu Yue sleeping in the coffin.

Originally, he could have just sent a thought, but Ji Yuan felt that some things needed to be said face-to-face, for a sense of ceremony.

So looking at Tu Yue, who appeared lifelike in front of him, Ji Yuan smiled and pinched her face, helping her form a smile.

”You’ve been home for so long, it’s time to go out for a walk. And this time, it’s a bit far, so I’m relying on you to look after the house.”

Ji Yuan finished speaking and felt something was off, so he manipulated Tu Yue to make a sound.

Now, she couldn’t speak fluently, but could still make some sounds.

”Okay... okay.”

”I’ll try to collect a few more bodies this time, and see if I can help you reach Foundation Establishment.”

”After all, the place we’re going to is the Corpse Transporting Mountain area, and I’ve heard they sell a lot of bodies there, and cheaply too. They seem to monopolize the body business on Shang Mountain, so I’ll just buy some back.”

The stiff-faced Tu Yue nodded, ”Okay...”

”Alright, I’m off, take care of the house.”

Ji Yuan pinched her face again, then took a deep breath before summoning the Sky Raider, heading north.

When he returned to Wuyou Island, it was just about dawn.

He took out Li Changhe’s Communication Talisman and mentioned he was preparing to go to the Blood River to condense a sword embryo.

He hadn’t forgotten that the Li Family had established good relations in every place, and as long as a Li Family member goes there, someone would welcome and arrange everything.

Such a good thing, Ji Yuan wouldn’t pass it up.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan was going to condense a sword embryo, which greatly affects cultivation breakthroughs, Li Changhe personally visited Ji Yuan’s Wuyou Island.

Riding his luxurious Flying Boat, alongside a Tier Two Mid-stage Demon Beast Skywing Flying Tiger.

”Going to Blood River, right? That’s easy; after you get there, find the Wei Family in the Ancient Battlefield Ruins and show them this, they’ll arrange for someone to take you to the Blood River.”

”The Blood River location is hard to find; ordinary people can’t even notice it, and you need a special route to reach the shore; you need locals to guide you.”

Li Changhe finished speaking and handed Ji Yuan a token with the word ”Li” on it.

”Alright, thanks, Brother Li.”

Ji Yuan accepted the token and cupped his hands in thanks.

”Between us, there’s no need for that. Go ahead, Shang Dong has been relatively peaceful lately, just go and come back quickly.”

Li Changhe finished speaking and patted Ji Yuan’s shoulder.

”Hmm.”

Then the two of them parted ways.

Li Changhe returned to Li Family Island, while Ji Yuan still needed to visit Wan You Island to see Hua Yaoyue.

But to his surprise, when he arrived, he coincidentally found Phoenix Peach there too.

Even so, Ji Yuan still stated his purpose for this trip.

”What, you’re going to the Corpse Transporting Mountain area?”

Hua Yaoyue didn’t say anything, but Phoenix Peach was a bit surprised.

”Yes, I received news from the Li Family that there’s a place suitable for condensing sword embryos.”

”No wonder, I wondered why you were willing to go out. So you’re going to condense a sword embryo, but now... the world is quite dangerous, little junior brother; you’re a Foundation Establishment beginner traveling around...”

Phoenix Peach hesitated.

Ji Yuan smiled helplessly, ”There’s nothing I can do, staying in the sect won’t improve my strength.”

”No.”

Phoenix Peach shook her head and said seriously, ”I mean, how about I go with you? I’ve reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment and can protect you.”

She patted her ample chest as she spoke.
