Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 519: Chapter 244: ”Nameless Loose Cultivator, Ji Yuan!

”Water cultivators coming to this seashore, it’s really like returning home... just that the weather is damn hot.”

”Hot is good, haven’t you noticed that most of the female cultivators in South Sea City dress quite cool? Look, look at that one, gosh, so big, it could suffocate me.”

”...”

Ji Yuan leaped down from the flying boat, landing outside the North Gate of South Sea City, and overheard these conversations.

Sometimes, he felt that his physique, far surpassing that of ordinary people, wasn’t so good, like this super hearing, no matter how quietly others spoke, as long as there was no sound transmission... he could hear it.

So Ji Yuan followed the gaze of those two righteous cultivators and looked over.

Hmm... indeed quite big.

He wondered if it’s allowed to control the sky in South Sea City. In any case, it’s always better to be cautious.

Thus, Ji Yuan, who was already in the mid-stage Foundation Establishment, honestly lined up to enter the city and even paid an entry fee of 1 low-grade Spirit Stone.

Which frightened the late-stage Qi Cultivation gatekeeper cultivator so much that he shivered, addressing him as ”senior” with every sentence.

Once inside South Sea City, Ji Yuan realized it was exactly as those two cultivators outside said, the cultivators in South Sea City, whether male or female, dressed quite coolly.

Especially those female cultivators.

Not only were their fair long legs exposed, but even their chests were only covered by a piece of chest cloth, swaying as they walked if they had bigger figures.

But the majority of cultivators had somewhat been tanned to a wheat-colored skin.

Those with fair skin mostly had just arrived from other places.

As for someone like Ji Yuan, wearing a long robe, it’s evident at a glance that he came from the north, so all the runners in the city were eyeing him.

If not for their fear of his Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, many would have probably approached him by now.

Until a female cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining gracefully walked up to Ji Yuan and greeted him with a bow.

”Junior Xie Wan, I wonder if Senior needs guidance?”

The scene made Ji Yuan involuntarily think of that runner Ning Shanshan he met in Lanshan City, wondering how she was doing now.

”Then you may follow.”

Ji Yuan said casually.

Xie Wan was delighted, hastily following Ji Yuan with small steps, introducing, ”Our South Sea City is the southern gate of Joy Palace, not only communicating with the surrounding cultivators, but many sects stationed overseas also trade with us here in South Sea City.”

”So inside South Sea City, a Golden Core cultivator guards it all year round, and there are dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators like the senior.”

”Not bad.”

Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow, even Coastal City didn’t have that many.

”Yes, but the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has only increased in the past two years, reportedly because of the righteous-demon war, many loose cultivators came to our South Sea City to seek refuge.”

”Some overseas loose cultivators did the same.”

”Indeed... please continue, introduce it in more detail, it’s my first time here, and if possible, I might settle in South Sea City in the future.”

Ji Yuan said casually, hands behind his back.

Xie Wan was even more delighted upon hearing this. If this senior could settle in South Sea City, that would be wonderful.

That way, by guiding him, even without collecting Spirit Stones, she could gain some goodwill.

The goodwill of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator... is worth more than Spirit Stones.

By then, the matter of Foundation Establishment could possibly request some guidance.

If fortunately Foundation Establishment succeeds, there would be an additional mid-stage Foundation Establishment friend.

Hence, Xie Wan introduced in even greater detail.

Ji Yuan listened to everything, and was led by her to visit several ”famous landmarks” within South Sea City.

He could only say... it was indeed not bad.

It certainly had an exotic flavor.

”By the way, did you just say that Ice and Fire Island had two Foundation Establishment cultivators come over?”

In a quiet teahouse, as Ji Yuan drank the cold-brewed tea, he asked casually.

”Indeed.”

”I’ve heard the scenery over there is nice, and there’s a giant volcano famous in Shang Dong?”

”Yes, the senior is truly knowledgeable and well-informed.”

Xie Wan smiled and praised before continuing:

”That volcano is called Flame Flame Volcano, and it’s said that once it erupts completely, even Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t escape Ice and Fire Island... since the senior knows this, I suppose you’ve also heard of that strange pond on Ice and Fire Island?”

”I know, I came this time because I want to visit Ice and Fire Island. I heard that to go to Ice and Fire Island, you can only go from South Sea City?”

Ji Yuan feigned curiosity and asked.

”Yes, because although Ice and Fire Island seems close to our mainland, it’s actually quite far, only Golden Core Zhenren can go directly, the rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators have to take a big ship there.”

”And mainly because there’s a storm area around Ice and Fire Island.”

”Storm area?”

It was the first time Ji Yuan heard about this.

”Yes, actually this is the main reason why Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t land on the island, because the storm area is extremely dangerous, and Tier Two wind beasts are hidden inside.”

Xie Wan carefully introduced:

”Without caution, Foundation Establishment cultivators could perish in it, so if one wants to go to Ice and Fire Island, either a Golden Core cultivator crosses the entire storm area directly, or spends Spirit Stones to board someone else’s large ship to the island.”

”Then tell me more about this sailing matter.”

Ji Yuan sat up straight.

Although he also had Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, the half-baked Golden Core corpse puppet, it was ultimately unstable.

In case of an error in the storm area, it wouldn’t be worth the loss.

Comparatively, spending some Spirit Stones to solve the problem, Ji Yuan naturally thought it best to spend the Spirit Stones.
