Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1139: Chapter 403: Chasing Lightning! Stepping Star! [Monthly Pass Requested]_3

Breaking through from Core Formation to Nascent Soul is fraught with the peril of the Heart Demon Tribulation!

Thus, when Ji Yuan takes a Heart Demon oath now, there is no longer any doubt whatsoever that this matter is indeed true!

The treasure he snatched from the Blood Pool has now ended up in the hands of the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake!

As soon as Ji Yuan said this, the eyes of all the Nascent Soul cultivators present fell upon the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake.

”Tsk tsk, I wondered how a mere Core Formation cultivator could stop us, turned out it was indeed you, Xuan Snake, who made the move.”

The Soul Hall Master, wrapped in a black robe, sneered sinisterly.

”Xuan Snake, congratulations on making such a fortune. Out of all of us, it seems you’re the one with the greatest bounty, which really makes me envious.”

The Old Demon of Heavenly Calamity, who had just descended from the sky, remarked sarcastically.

”We are quite curious about such a treasure; how about taking it out, Xuan Snake, so we can all have a look?”

True Monarch Xuanqing from afar was also enthusiastic about the drama unfolding.

”It’s utterly ridiculous that you all believe the nonsense of a Core Formation cultivator.”

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake was somewhat flustered; he hadn’t expected Ji Yuan to still be alive, let alone appear here, daring to swear a Heart Demon oath.

The Old Demon of Heavenly Calamity, already at odds with him, immediately chimed in:

”Then why don’t you make a Great Dao vow, and we’ll believe you.”

But the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, his expression dark, remained silent.

From above, Ji Yuan’s mocking voice came again.

”The Supreme Treasure in question here is the Evergreen Water, capable of prolonging life. One sip extends life by twenty years, and there are thirty sips in total, all now in the hands of the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake.”

”What, a life-extending Supreme Treasure!”

The Old Demon of Heavenly Calamity exclaimed noisily: ”And thirty sips at that, which amounts to 600 years of longevity. Daoist Xuan Snake, that makes little difference from breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul, doesn’t it?”

”No wonder it requires a Sixth Transformation Blood Pool to nurture such a Supreme Treasure.”

Even the Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

”Daoist Xuan Snake, could this item be up for trade? Our Xuanqing Sect needs some.”

”Tingtao Pavilion also has a need.”

The Pavilion Master Tingtao, who had remained silent, couldn’t help but speak after hearing about it.

The face of the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake had already turned as dark as water. He looked up at the pair of pure black Star-Stepping Wheels floating in the air, almost through gritted teeth:

”Clearly only three sips, where did thirty sips come from!”

At this point, admitting or denying made no difference.

However, the shift from three to thirty sips was not something the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake could easily counter.

”Ah, right, right.”

Ji Yuan replied with a hint of sarcasm: ”Truly, Senior is noble; thirty sips of Evergreen Water, and in your hands, it becomes three sips.”

”If you conduct business this way, how could you not make a fortune?”

”You!”

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake realized that with Ji Yuan’s prior Heart Demon oath, nothing he said now mattered.

As long as Ji Yuan spoke, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present would choose to believe him.

Like now, the Soul Hall Master, originally on the other side, had somehow moved behind him, cutting off his escape.

The Old Demon of Heavenly Calamity and others, who had been fighting over the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit, all subtly aimed their hostility at him.

There seemed to be an intent to unite Righteous and Demon Dao forces.

After all, the Six-Revolution Infant Heart Fruit was here regardless, but the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake...if he didn’t act, he would flee.

Thirty sips of life-extending treasure were enough to prompt their action.

Recognizing this, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake felt cornered, knowing he had fallen into danger.

He looked up, casting a final vicious glance at the figure atop the Star-Stepping Wheel.

”Boy, you better make sure to stay alive!”

”Heh, rest assured, I won’t die before you.” Ji Yuan saw through the Mansion Master’s intentions as he spoke; this scoundrel was absolutely planning to flee.

So before the Mansion Master could escape, Ji Yuan transmitted another message:

”The Holy Fish King remarked he was truly blind to befriend the likes of you.”

”What?!”

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, though furious, had been concealing his emotions adequately up till now.

But this time, it was different.

After Ji Yuan’s comment, it was as though he had heard something unbelievable.

He even instinctively looked up at the sky again.

At that moment, Ji Yuan saw guilt, desolation... and regret in his eyes.

”How is he now?”

The Mansion Master of Xuan Snake, who had just been ready to fight to the death with Ji Yuan, now unexpectedly asked him.

”Heh.”

Ji Yuan had deliberately baited him with words, and he wouldn’t say more now.

The moment the Mansion Master had tried to kill him in the Illusion Realm, Ji Yuan had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

Although their interactions were brief, the enmity was no less intense than with the Bone Nightmare Old Demon.

When he had the strength to demand accountability, the first person he’d seek would be the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake!

”Daoist Xuan Snake, perhaps you should take out the Evergreen Water and trade with us; this item is valuable, and you’re unlikely to protect it alone.”

True Monarch Xuanqing, from the Righteous Dao, kindly suggested.

If there really were thirty sips of Evergreen Water, the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake thought even offering ten for a trade wouldn’t be out of the question.

But there were only three sips.

Trade?

Heh, for his own use, it was still not enough!

”Well... alright then.”

As soon as the Mansion Master of Xuan Snake spoke, the Nascent Soul cultivators perked up, thinking he had relented. Yet at that moment, the green-robed Mansion Master suddenly turned into a streak of green light and fled southward.

”Heh, still trying to escape?”

The Old Demon of Heavenly Calamity sneered and transformed into escape light to chase after.
