Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 967: Chapter 368: Tier 3 Array Master

After tinkering for half a day, Wen Jiu’s array was finally fully repaired.

“Brother Wen, this array of yours is water-based with a wooden framework. It seems like one of you has been using a lot of Earth Technique here, suppressing the water flow, which caused the problem with the array. Just be more careful in the future.”

As Ji Yuan spoke, he returned the Array Plate to Wen Jiu.

“Indeed, my wife cultivates Earth Technique… We originally chose this array because I obtained it by chance, not through deliberate selection, so it’s understandable.”

Wen Jiu spoke words that both of them could understand.

What is a fortuitous encounter?

It’s simply a matter of murder and robbery, oh, no, it should be said that the other side was determined to hand over this array to Wen Jiu, hence, he died, leaving the array in Wen Jiu’s hands.

Subsequently, Ji Yuan treated the three of them to a meal in the city; celebrating the breakthrough of this Array Cultivator to Tier Three was truly a joyous occasion.

If it’s such a grand event, then indeed it merits celebration.

The meal consisted of a fair amount of Spirit Beast delicacies and cost Ji Yuan several hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones, roughly equivalent to a few days’ worth of production from a Spirit Vein.

For a Mid-stage Core Formation Cultivator with only a few thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones to their name, this was quite the expense.

Especially for Brother Wen, a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator, who ate as though he wished he had eight stomachs.

“Ji Yuan is also planning to attend the upcoming ‘Tingtiao Pavilion Auction’?”

As they ate, they naturally discussed upcoming plans, and Ji Yuan shared his intentions.

“Yes, I’ll see if there’s any materials I need for cultivation.”

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

“I have a partial list for the auction, still gathering some items. Brother Li, you can take a look to see if there’s anything you need.”

While gnawing on meat, Brother Wen incoherently pulled out a Jade Scroll from his Storage Bag.

Ji Yuan took it with a smile and, together with Wen Jiu, scanned the contents with his Divine Sense.

“Oh?”

With just a glance, Ji Yuan noticed something he needed.

“Monster Subduing Powder *3”

“What is it, Brother Li? Did something catch your eye?” Wen Jiu asked with a laugh.

“Yes, with this Monster Subduing Powder, it’s precisely what my Spirit Beast needs. Let’s see if it can break through to Tier Three.”

Ji Yuan didn’t hide this little matter.

Once the Ant King breaks through, alongside his Tier Three Spirit Beasts… two Frost Serpents, Bee King, Ant King, though the Chicken King falls short, with these three portions of Monster Subduing Powder in hand…

The breakthrough is just a matter of time.

“Then it certainly is a great opportunity.” Wen Jiu’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

In his view, not to mention that Ji Yuan is an Early-stage Core Formation Cultivator, even at Mid-stage Core Formation… having a Tier Three Spirit Beast for protection provides a great advantage for cultivation.

Thus, the Spirit Beast he raised struggled to reach the Peak of Tier Two.

Now, encountering this Monster Subduing Powder, such an opportunity should not be missed.

“However, according to this auction, the Monster Subduing Powders are being auctioned in sets of three, so naturally, the price won’t be low.”

Wen Jiu calculated in his mind and continued,

“I wonder if Brother Li has enough Spirit Stones? If not, I have some spare.”

At these words, Yan Lanlan quickly chimed in, “Indeed, Brother Li is yet to break through, and has painstakingly refined a Lifebound Magical Treasure. If resources are lacking, you can turn to us. We’ve saved up a little over the years working at the Black and White Divine Hall.”

Ji Yuan looked at the sincere expressions of the couple and smiled.

“It should be enough. If not, I will certainly ask the two of you.”

Wen Jiu and Yan Lanlan exchanged a glance, and finally, Wen Jiu suggested, “How about this, I happen to be on vacation during this period, so I’ll accompany Brother Li there.”

Faced with such kindness, Ji Yuan couldn’t refuse and eventually agreed.

Thus, over the next half month, Ji Yuan rested in Lindong City, temporarily easing up on his cultivation, spending his days either wandering about or visiting the Martial Arts Arena to closely observe and contemplate.

He continually compared it to the Martial Arts Arenas he had set up himself.

After nearly ten days, he indeed discovered several differences.

For instance, the most crucial point was that every Martial Arts Arena Ji Yuan had seen had people sparring on them, genuinely engaging in martial arts.

As for his own setup back then?

It was simply him practicing Pile Skill inside, without others accompanying him for sparring, hmm… Ji Yuan planned to bring along the two Frost Serpents for a try upon returning to see if it would trigger the appearance of this Martial Arts Arena.

Two days later, Ji Yuan and Wen Jiu attended the Tingtiao Pavilion Auction together.

Although there were many good items, the only one that caught Ji Yuan’s eye was the Monster Subduing Powder. However, the three portions indeed turned out to be expensive, especially with a Core Formation Cultivator competing against him.

But ultimately, Ji Yuan’s financial prowess prevailed, spending nearly 9000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones to successfully acquire the three portions of Monster Subduing Powder.

Wen Jiu once again witnessed Ji Yuan’s immense wealth,

reminiscent of his previous encounter in West Border City when Ji Yuan rented a Cave Mansion to achieve a breakthrough.

For Ji Yuan, the objectives of this trip were largely achieved, obtaining news from West Border City, securing Monster Subduing Powder for his Spirit Beast’s advancement, gaining insight into Mu Xueyao’s whereabouts, and even garnering an unexpected surprise as his Array Dao Cultivation advanced to Tier Three.

So, it was indeed time to head back.

After bidding farewell to Wen Jiu, without further ado, his figure flew straight eastwards, eventually exiting Lindong City via the East City Gate.
