Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 584: Chapter 264: Days Learning Fox Language from Senior Sister Dong

This is certainly not because Ji Yuan made her angry.

But rather because the current physique of Ji Yuan... she couldn’t withstand it.

She said no several times, but was ultimately conquered by Ji Yuan.

In the end, there was no other way but to resort to this last measure, driving Ji Yuan out.

Ji Yuan, piloting the Wind Willow Flying Boat, looked at the Hu Yue Island in front of him; if he wanted, he could naturally go back in.

Such a mere array could not trap him.

However, after some consideration, he decided to give up this idea.

Shouldn’t he show some respect to Senior Sister?

When Ji Yuan returned to Wuyou Island, he no longer had the smile he had outside.

Because this time he felt that Dong Qian seemed to have undergone some changes.

She was the one who said no, but in the beginning, she was also very fervent.

Moreover, Ji Yuan seemed to sense a faint... reluctance from Dong Qian?

Is she leaving?

This was Ji Yuan’s subconscious reaction.

But in today’s world situation, where could she go?

Everywhere is so dangerous, and like himself, she is not someone who likes to take risks. Given that, where could she go?

The three soul-searching questions, Ji Yuan could not answer, and judging from earlier conversations, Dong Qian was probably hesitant and conflicted about this point.

’Forget it, once she’s figured it out, she will surely tell me.’

Ji Yuan thought about it and felt it was inappropriate to ask, so he put the matter aside for the moment. Instead, he went to his room on Wuyou Island and injected a trace of Spiritual Qi into the vase by the window. Immediately, the ground opened, revealing a pitch-black hole, from which a dense surge of Spiritual Qi emanated.

Ji Yuan stepped into it and disappeared.

The hole closed again, and everything returned to normal.

And that iron door of the hole was made by Ji Yuan using special materials; not only could it not be discovered by Divine Sense scanning, but it could also withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The reason, of course, was the hidden Spirit Vein below.

The Spirit Vein was different from other structures; moving it was extremely difficult, and constructing it was quite troublesome. Moreover, even if Ji Yuan remotely deactivated the structure’s effect, the Spirit Stones embedded in the Spirit Vein were real and solid.

Thus, it’s never too much to be cautious.

Following the passage all the way down, Ji Yuan finally beheld the shimmering white light emanating from the underground Spirit Vein. By then, the Spiritual Qi was extremely abundant.

With the double blessing of Spirit Vein and Cave Mansion, the Spiritual Qi was even richer than what Ji Yuan had experienced at the Spirit Vein of Liancheng Mountain.

And this was undoubtedly a prime location for his cultivation.

While absorbing the free-floating Spiritual Qi in the world, he also held a mid-grade Spirit Stone in each hand, exerting all his effort to improve his strength.

After a day of absorbing Spiritual Qi, he would take a Tri-colored Spirit Egg from his Storage Bag and consume it to compress the Spiritual Qi within his Dantian.

Once his cultivation was at a satisfactory stage, he would move to the Enlightenment Room, attempting to comprehend another enigmatic Flying Sword with the insights gained from the Sword Manual given by the Li Family.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

When he was leisurely strolling by the Fish Pond after cultivation, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had thought of something.

He then flashed back to his residence and searched for a somewhat spacious room. First, he put the miscellaneous items in the room into his Storage Bag.

Afterwards, he retrieved empty bookshelves from another Storage Bag.

Arranged in three rows each, horizontally and vertically.

Once neatly organized, he took out booklets from his Storage Bag.

The booklets naturally contained basic spells suitable for the Qi Cultivation Stage, along with cultivation techniques that could only reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

In terms of these items, although Ji Yuan had not killed countless people during his cultivation, he still had slain a fair number.

He accrued considerable spoils therein.

Although most things were sold, he retained the cultivation techniques and spells.

After setting up the booklets of lower-level spells, he moved on to the second shelf, which didn’t hold booklets but some... Jade Scrolls.

The Jade Scrolls, in comparison, took up less space and were fewer in number.

Ji Yuan placed each one carefully, and kindly labeled the lower part of each Jade Scroll with the cultivation technique or spell recorded within, using white paper.

”Earth Axe Mountain Splitting Technique”

”Forest Wood Breathing Skill”

”River Severing Technique”

”...”

In comparison, fewer cultivation techniques and spells were displayed on this second shelf, about half the amount of the first shelf.

Moreover, interspersed with these fewer righteous path cultivation techniques, were many Demon Path Techniques.

But that couldn’t be helped, as Ji Yuan had killed more demons than righteous path cultivators.

When he arrived at the third shelf, Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment.

Because what was to be placed here were advanced spells or cultivation techniques that led directly to the Golden Core stage.

But this type of thing... was scarce.

In all his cultivation, the only item he could have truly obtained through his own strength and claim as his own was the Gold Element Technique given by the Wailing Wanderer.

”Cyan Jade Gold-breaking Skill”.

Even Celestial Silkworm Zhenren had none, but judging by his combat strength after death, the technique he practiced in life must have been excellent.

Unfortunately, no cultivation techniques were left in his Storage Bag.

Ji Yuan placed this cultivation technique on the highest shelf and then took out a piece of white paper. He wrote out the name of the cultivation technique, word by word, and pasted it below the Jade Scroll.

At that moment, his panel refreshed.

Soon, a line of small text appeared above the room.

[Scripture Pavilion: lv0]

Finally, it appeared!

Ji Yuan quickly pulled up the panel to look.

[Scripture Pavilion: lv1 (cannot upgrade)]

[Spirit Effect: Day and night without rest, diligent enlightenment can increase proficiency in cultivation techniques. When used together with the ”Enlightenment Room”, the effect is even better.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Golden Core Techniques ×2; Foundation Establishment Techniques ×10; Tier Two Demon Pill ×3; Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×100. (Not achieved)]
