Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 467: Chapter 226: Dragon Slaying; 1,000-Year Spirit Milk

”Moreover, your speech tone is very much like someone from the south, quite different from ours here, so I could tell you’re visiting Lanshan City for the first time.”

Ji Yuan didn’t expect Ning Shanshan to be so observant, nor did he realize that his seemingly clever disguise had so many flaws.

”You’re quite attentive, but next time, if you see through someone’s disguise, don’t reveal it.”

Ji Yuan casually advised.

Ning Shanshan broke into a cold sweat, her pace even slowed down, but she quickly caught up and cheerfully said, ”It’s just that I saw the senior is a kind person, so I dared to speak to you.”

”Ha, tell me, what exactly is this Dragon Hunt Auction about, and what good items are inside?”

”Yes, the auction is called the Dragon Hunt Auction because there’s currently a Dragon Hunt event happening.”

Ning Shanshan walked beside Ji Yuan, introducing quietly.

”Dragon Hunt event?”

”Exactly, recently, it was said a Tier Three Serpent was discovered in a deep mountain lake within the Lanshan mountain range. So, two major Immortal Sects discussed and decided to hold a Dragon Hunt event, sending Foundation Establishment Stage’s top cultivators to jointly kill this Tier Three Serpent.”

”Finally, the Tier Three Serpent’s corpse, Demon Pill, and essence blood will all be auctioned at this event, as the highlight pieces, which is why it’s called the Dragon Hunt Auction.”

”I see...”

Two cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, not to mention Fake Pill Cultivators, teaming up to kill a Tier Three Serpent... Seems dangerous, yet not really safe.

But as they are the top Foundation Establishment cultivators, they must be disciples of Golden Core Zhenrens; probably no real issue.

Moreover, this Tier Three Serpent’s corpse... Ji Yuan summoned a panel to glance at.

[Fish Pond: lv4 (Cannot be Upgraded)]

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×800; Tier Three Ice Attribute Demon Pill ×1; Tier Three Serpent-type Demon Beast Corpse ×1; Dragon Blood Stone ×3. (Not Achieved)]

If he can auction off these items, it’ll save him a big hassle.

And the Tier Three Serpent’s essence blood.

Ji Yuan thought of the [Fish Pond]; ever since his Frost Serpent rose in rank, several years passed, yet no new Frost Serpent was born.

He contemplated this issue.

The birth of the Frost Serpent in his possession was due to the Dragon Qi stimulation back then.

Dragon Qi is rare, but if he gets some Tier Three Serpent essence blood back, could it trigger another birth, perhaps of a Frost Serpent hatchling?

If achieved, he’ll greatly profit.

Whether to auction off the serpent hatchling or see if it can evolve into a Tier Four Spirit Beast—Serpent.

... Luckily, Celestial Silkworm Zhenren gifted me plenty of Spirit Stones, otherwise, I’d come here empty-handed today.

”Who are these two Foundation Establishment Cultivators?”

Ji Yuan vaguely remembered Li Changhe mentioning them.

Being renowned in the Water Dragon Sect as a Second Generation Immortal, naturally, he mingled with Second Generation Immortals from other sects, so he understood these matters and people well.

”Senior Shi Caolang from Corpse Transporting Mountain, and Senior Ye Chen from Spirit Control Sect.”

Ning Shanshan said this in an even quieter voice.

”Ye Chen?”

Ji Yuan suddenly recollected; Li Changhe once mentioned this person, it was this name that caught Ji Yuan’s attention.

Ye Chen... must have some skills, fearing not being overshadowed by this name.

”Yes, do you know him, Senior? I heard he is young and handsome; an older sister from our Qinghe District vowed to marry him after seeing him... Oh, sorry, I spoke too much.”

Ning Shanshan hurriedly covered her mouth as she spoke.

”A nameless small figure like me can’t know such big names. Where is the Dragon Hunt Auction, lead me to it.”

”Yes.”

Then Ning Shanshan led Ji Yuan around Lanshan City, finally reaching a seven-story tower on the city’s east side, ”The auction house is here, plus this time, only Foundation Establishment Cultivators like yourself can enter; low-tier Qi Cultivation Cultivators like us can’t even dream of it.”

Ji Yuan noted this fact; upon reaching the area, Foundation Establishment Cultivators became noticeably abundant, as those entering and exiting the doorway were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

... This auction likely attracted numerous Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the two Immortal Sects, as well as Loose Cultivators, even Golden Core Zhenrens might visit.

Ji Yuan decided he’d definitely attend this auction before leaving.

”Senior, please wait a moment.”

Ning Shanshan, head down, walked quickly to a nearby shop, whispered with another Female Cultivator there, and received a booklet from her after expressing thanks, then trotted back holding it, presented it with both hands.

”Senior, this is the high-grade item list for the Dragon Hunt Auction, take a look and you’ll know.”

Ji Yuan took it, flipping through as he walked.

Top-grade Spiritual Artifact ”Moon-Slicing Flying Sword,” Tier Two Demon Pill ”Earth-Splitting Viper,” One-Stripe Foundation Establishment Pill, Top-grade Spiritual Artifact ”Mountain-Cleaving Axe”... Two-striped Foundation Establishment Pill, Two Celestial Thunder Seeds...

The variety beyond words, indeed many good items.

And briefly browsing the finale auction pieces, Ji Yuan glanced them over.

The first item was the Talisman Treasure ”Sky-Slicing Sword,” usable twice more, followed by Tier Three Demon Beast Sky Eagle’s Demon Pill, Tier Three Demon Beast Mountain-Boring Mouse’s Hatchling, and Talisman Treasure ”Heaven-Transcending Shuttle.”

Damn it, someone’s even auctioning the Heaven-Transcending Shuttle here.

Flipping further.

drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately perked up!

He’s clearly remembered, inside the [Spirit Vein] upgrade to Level 3 conditions, there’s this item.

Ji Yuan summoned the panel again for a look.

[Spirit Vein: lv3 (Cannot be Upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Within a radius of five miles, intensity of Spiritual Qi +200%.]

[Spirit Effect 2: Daily yield of 100 blocks of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 1000 blocks of Low-grade Spirit Stones.]

[Spirit Effect 3: Monthly yield of 1 drop of ”Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.”]

[Upgrade Conditions: 80 blocks of Upper-grade Spirit Stones, 1000 blocks of Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 10000 blocks of Low-grade Spirit Stones, 10 drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk. (Not Achieved)]

Damn it, I have to obtain these!

Once acquiring these 10 drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk, for the rest of the Spirit Stones... if not enough, I’ll return to borrow from Li Changhe, borrow from Hua Yaoyue, it’s workable.

Because if [Spirit Vein] upgrades to Level 3.

Recoup in a year.

Profits double in two.

Triple yields in three, directly ascending!
