Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 973: Chapter 369: New Building—[Martial Arts Arena]!

A few days later.

In Xing Shuang’s new Cave Mansion, the two sat comfortably.

“This is the Female Cultivator’s Storage Bag.” Xing Shuang proactively handed it over.

Ji Yuan glanced at it and shook his head, “Miss Xing, you may keep it.”

Before she could speak further, Ji Yuan changed the topic, “I remember last time at Northwest Sand Prison, Miss Xing said she would return and advance to Late-stage Core Formation? Why not now…”

“This matter is quite embarrassing.” Seeing this, Xing Shuang placed the Storage Bag on the table, and said awkwardly, “Last time after returning, I tried to go into seclusion, but I overestimated my talent and underestimated the difficulty of Late-stage Core Formation. It didn’t happen, and I consumed quite a few resources.”

“This time, I prepared for several years, thinking to be more cautious, I went to Ya State Bay again to hunt some Tier Three Demon Beasts for breakthrough resources, but unexpectedly, I came across something else…”

Having been saved twice by Ji Yuan, Xing Shuang had no reservations and laid out the origins of the situation.

Essentially, while Xing Shuang was hunting demons at Ya State Bay, she encountered an injured Tier Three Demon Beast.

She easily slaughtered it, but found something inside its belly.

Afterward, the Star Plume Twins pursued her, without a word of explanation, wanting to kill.

Xing Shuang could guess it was because of that item; she felt it was a treasure and was unwilling to part with it, leading to such an incident…

“I was prepared for the worst, to hand over the item if I couldn’t keep it, but unexpectedly fate brought me to Brother Liu, so I’ll give this item to Brother Liu.”

After speaking, Xing Shuang flipped her hand, took an item from the Storage Bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.

Ji Yuan naturally looked down.

With one glance, he found the item exceptionally familiar.

Because it was actually a Token from the Yin Ghost Sect, which could summon a gateway.

Ji Yuan already had two such Tokens, and they had merged into one; now he saw this, it was the third one he encountered.

… Wen Jiu mentioned to me this is related to the Great Secret Realm, which is Rashamon Sea.

Actually, he didn’t need to say anything; anything related to the Yin Ghost Sect is a treasure.

Xing Shuang saw Ji Yuan’s expression and knew he recognized the item.

Thus, she smiled and pushed it, letting it fall into Ji Yuan’s hand.

“I’ll keep the Storage Bag, and this item will be given to Brother Liu, how about it?”

“Alright.”

Ji Yuan didn’t feign politeness; he immediately placed it into his Storage Bag.

“So, should Miss Xing continue going into seclusion?”

“Yes.”

Xing Shuang nodded, “Earlier, resources were insufficient, leading to the visit to Ya State Bay, but this time with the Female Cultivator’s Storage Bag, plus the Tier Three Demon Beast I killed…I think I’m nearly prepared.”

“Good, then I’ll anticipate your success, Miss Xing.”

Ji Yuan smiled and cupped his fists towards her.

“Borrowing Brother Liu’s auspicious words.” Xing Shuang also smiled, feeling the words incredibly familiar.

After all, last time when the two parted at Northwest Sand Prison, Ji Yuan had said the same.

After dealing with this matter, Ji Yuan didn’t stay long in Lindong City; he found a secluded spot, transformed back into Hu Beizhi, and headed north, returning unobstructed to Bone Nightmare Sect.

Back to the familiar Great Dream Island.

Ji Yuan exhaled a long breath, then leisurely made his way to the Martial Arts Arena in the Cave Mansion, without hurrying to examine Demon Lord Duan Yue’s Storage Bag or merging the Tokens.

One of his main goals for this trip was to understand what the Martial Arts Arena was about.

When he arrived inside, he first ignited the surrounding torches and then placed the eighteen weapons in the corner.

“Come, appear!”

Ji Yuan released Spirit Platform Fangcun Mountain and then tapped the stone mountain.

A small azure serpent fell out, floating, circling Ji Yuan in a graceful manner.

“Fight me; if you win, I’ll give you this to eat.”

Ji Yuan said as he took out 1 tael of Thousand-year Cold Spirit Milk from the Storage Bag, which was the production of Level 4 Fish Pond for a year.

Monday, who pretended to be indifferent moments before, suddenly widened its serpent eyes, yet being arm-length, it swayed its body and transformed into a dragon over ten meters long and as thick as a barrel.

Seeing its intent to bite, it was pushed away by Ji Yuan.

“Why the rush? Agree with your promise first.”

With words spoken, Ji Yuan reversed his hand, stored away the 1 tael of Thousand-year Cold Spirit Milk, then stepped back, taking an archer’s stance and a battle-ready posture.

As they say, extraordinary incentives produce brave warriors!

Monday was no different, seeing Ji Yuan’s serious demeanor, it opened its mouth and spat cold air.

“Ha!!!”

Where the cold air passed, the entire Martial Arts Arena froze in an instant. Ji Yuan stomped the ground, leapt into the air, dodging the cold air while descending with a punch, sending the ice-breathing serpent flying.

At the moment he landed again, he noticed that above him, a small line of text appeared.

[Martial Arts Arena: Level 0]

“So… it’s that simple???”
