Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 509: Chapter 240: Synthesis [Alchemy Room, Array Room, Talisman Room, Artifact Refining Room]

This is the most fundamental and important matter.

Next is to upgrade the [Pigsty], aiming to obtain the Body Cultivation Technique as soon as possible, and then continue to enhance the physique to see if it can first achieve the strength of the Golden Core Stage.

In this way, there will be confidence to stand firm in the upcoming war between the righteous and the demonic.

Lastly, continuing to develop new constructions.

This is something Ji Yuan has never stopped doing.

What he most wants is to develop the [Mall] or [Market], and once this is opened, if it can directly trade with the panel, it would save a lot of trouble.

To this end, he even rented a shop on All Things Island by himself.

But the panel did not respond at all.

Unconvinced, he went to Red Leaf City and spent a lot of money to buy a street-side shop to sell various Demon Beast materials, but still, there was no response from the panel.

Ji Yuan was stumped.

He didn’t know whether the panel forbade the ”trade” function or if he opened it the wrong way.

With no luck with the [Mall], Ji Yuan had to try other constructions. The one he was most confident in was the [Scripture Pavilion]. He guessed that as long as he stored enough Cultivation Technique books in one room, it could be opened.

Yet, even after putting all his Cultivation Technique books in a room, the panel still did not display any text.

It was likely still not enough.

But these were all the Cultivation Techniques Ji Yuan obtained through killing and looting. If it’s still not enough... he could only try to buy another batch of low-level spells.

But at that time he thought, even if the [Scripture Pavilion] opened, it would probably just enhance comprehension of Cultivation Techniques.

Overlapping with the Enlightenment Room, he wasn’t in a hurry to mess with it.

Now he might as well give it a try, but fundamentally, he should upgrade the [Pigsty] first.

Having finished pondering, Ji Yuan had a clear plan for his upcoming tasks and set his mind at ease.

Thinking that the first batch of Foundation Establishment Cultivators heading to Shang Mountain would soon depart, and since his senior brothers and sisters were going too, Ji Yuan naturally had to send them off.

So he walked out of the [Cave Mansion].

His Divine Sense swept across the entire Mist Island, and the spiritual grains on the hillside were almost mature. With the Spirit Field’s building effect, Ji Yuan estimated it would take another month to mature.

If that’s the case, there’s no hurry to take these Corpse Puppets away.

If he took them away, there would be no one to work then.

Moving the [Beehive] was also troublesome. After much thought, Ji Yuan decided to use the Spirit Beast Bag to first send over the Spirit Pig and Spirit Chicken.

The [Fish Pond] was initially an option, but he just poured Serpent’s blood into it, so there might still be residuals left.

Ji Yuan thought of letting the Spirit Fish inside absorb and refine it to see if they could raise another Frost Serpent. Even if he didn’t use it himself, he could sell it for money.

Half a day later, Ji Yuan placed the Spirit Pig and Spirit Chicken in Wuyou Island’s designated ”breeding zone”.

While activating the construction effects, he didn’t forget to slightly alter the activation method of the array, making Dong Qian’s previous entrance method ineffective.

If she wanted to come in again, Ji Yuan would have to permit it.

Hmm... it’s not that he doesn’t trust his senior sister, but the junior brother also needs his own space.

After finishing his tasks, Ji Yuan sent a message to Dong Qian, asking if she was going to Water Dragon Island.

Since Ji Yuan was going, Dong Qian naturally went too.

Finally, Ji Yuan sent messages to Phoenix Peach and Yun Qianzai, asking when they would depart. Surprisingly... Phoenix Peach said she wouldn’t be going this time.

Only Yun Qianzai was going.

Ji Yuan asked why, but Phoenix Peach didn’t elaborate, only saying they would meet at Water Dragon Island.

’Could it be that she was persuaded by the master? Or did she have a change of heart herself... the master probably wouldn’t persuade anyone.’

Harboring these thoughts, Ji Yuan summoned Dong Qian, and the two of them set off together.

When they arrived at Water Dragon Island, there were already scattered groups of people, all Foundation Establishment Cultivators, either preparing to venture into Shang Mountain together, encouraging each other,

or seeing off friends, bidding farewell with reluctance.

Ji Yuan glanced around from the air, not seeing the flamboyant figure of Yun Qianzai, only noticing Phoenix Peach in a bright red dress, standing alone at the southern part of Water Dragon Island, looking somewhat forlorn.

”Senior Sister.”

Ji Yuan’s Flying Boat landed beside her.

Phoenix Peach was delighted upon hearing the familiar voice and was just about to step forward, but when she saw the figure beside Ji Yuan, her expression turned into a courteous smile.

”Junior Brother, Junior Sister Dong.”

With Ji Yuan being the intermediary, Phoenix Peach had seen Dong Qian a few times.

They weren’t close, but at least they knew each other’s names.

”Greetings, Senior Sister Feng.”

Dong Qian gave her a slight bow.

”Where is the Second Senior Brother? Hasn’t he arrived yet?” Ji Yuan looked around and asked.

”With so many people not here yet, how could he possibly come now?”

As soon as Phoenix Peach finished speaking, Ji Yuan realized it.

Yun Qianzai always liked to make an entrance at the last moment, and like today, he probably would wait until the Golden Core Zhenren leading the sect arrived before making a late appearance.

”Senior Sister, why aren’t you going?”

Ji Yuan did not ask directly but chose to transmit the question.

”Too many people want to go, but the spots are limited, so I gave up my spot. Junior Brother, am I... am I useless?”

Phoenix Peach’s voice was a bit downcast, ”Actually, I’m a bit scared. Over the past couple of days, I asked some senior brothers and sisters who had been to Shang Mountain, and from their descriptions, it’s dangerous up there. Even at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, one could potentially fall accidentally.”

”Isn’t being afraid a natural human reaction? Moreover, defending Shang Mountain contributes to our righteous path, and staying in the sect also provides opportunities to contribute to our righteous path, some even more important.”

At this point, it was important not to agree with Phoenix Peach’s tone but to comfort her instead.

After all, with matters like this... if not handled well, it could easily breed mental obstacles.

Or rather, easily breed... the Heart Demon.

Because if she can’t resolve this knot in her heart, every time she’s about to break through, Phoenix Peach would remember how she was a coward in this matter.

How she fled.

”Really?”

Phoenix Peach turned to look at him.

”Of course, it’s true.”

Ji Yuan nodded seriously.

”Eh, Junior Brother Ji? Are you also going to Shang Mountain?”

While Ji Yuan was speaking with Phoenix Peach via transmission, a familiar voice came from behind him.
