Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1198: Chapter 416: Breakthrough—Peak of the Muscle Forging Realm! [Seeking Monthly Pass]

Mei Manor nodded.

Then he seemed to have already guessed what Ji Yuan would say, or wanted to say.

Before Ji Yuan could open his mouth, he continued:

”But you’re different. You’re a Body Cultivator, and one who’s even cultivated a manifestation.”

”That still won’t work, right?”

Ji Yuan gave a helpless smile.

Demon Cultivators’ bodies were already ridiculously tough.

Even Mei Manor, a late-stage Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, said he couldn’t do it. Ji Yuan truly felt he couldn’t either.

”No, I’ve experienced it personally.” Mei Manor shook his head.

”For a Body Cultivator, once you reach the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm you can safely pass through this fire pool and take out the Secret of Divinity Transformation inside.”

”As for you right now, you should be at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, right? Peak Bone Forging Realm, then activating your Body Cultivator manifestation, isn’t much different from the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm. You’ll definitely be able to pass through this fire pool.”

Listening to Mei Manor’s detailed plan, Ji Yuan couldn’t help falling silent.

Looking at it now, Mei Manor really had calculated everything down to the last detail.

”I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Manor Master’s expectations.”

As Ji Yuan spoke, he finally stopped suppressing his Blood Qi and released it.

At once a blazing, masculine aura spread through the pavilion.

Mei Manor had certainly seen Body Cultivators before; he’d even seen Body Cultivators at the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm.

So with a slight probe at this moment, his expression changed.

Seeing how ferocious Ji Yuan had been when fighting that Tier Four Sea Beast earlier, he had naturally assumed Ji Yuan was already at the peak of the Bone Forging Realm.

But now that he took a closer look... late-stage Bone Forging Realm!

Motherfucker!

Mei Manor took a deep breath, and soon a smile once again appeared on his face.

”So what if you’re only late-stage Bone Forging Realm? Isn’t this opportunity for you just sitting right here?”

”Hm?”

”What does Manor Master mean by that?”

Ji Yuan asked back.

Mei Manor continued: ”Remember I told you before, not to mention a breakthrough within this small realm—even if you want to advance to the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm, I can help you with that.”

This line... Mei Manor had indeed said it earlier when he’d been thinking about recruiting me.

Ji Yuan nodded. ”So Manor Master has a way?”

Mei Manor swung his wide sleeve, rose to his feet with a hearty laugh, and said, ”What’s so difficult about that? Just come with me, little friend.”

With that, he waved his hand to disperse the Array, then once again led Ji Yuan along as their bodies turned into Escape Light and left this place.

When they’d come to this Dragon Palace earlier, Ji Yuan had flown south.

Now they were flying east.

Ji Yuan was also curious what place Mei Manor had that made him so confident he could push Ji Yuan into the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm... Could it be some kind of Body Refinement Holy Land?

Ji Yuan was puzzled in his heart.

On the way east he asked repeatedly, but Mei Manor was unwilling to say more.

Ji Yuan had no other option and could only follow.

Even at Mei Manor’s speed, they still flew continuously eastward for a full day.

Deep in the sea ahead, Ji Yuan finally sensed the sound of thunderstorm rolling.

That immediately reminded Ji Yuan of his experience tempering his body in the Thunder Shock Marsh years ago.

From the looks of it now, deep in this Extreme East sea, there was actually a place similar to the Thunder Shock Marsh?

”Well? Little friend, do you understand now?”

Mei Manor asked with a smile, ”Since you were able to cultivate to late-stage Bone Forging Realm and even have a Flying Sword refined from Purple Sky Stone, I’m guessing you must have already been to Cangluo Continent’s Thunder Shock Marsh, right?”

”Exactly.”

Ji Yuan had just been worrying that if Mei Manor asked about it, he wouldn’t have a good way to explain the origin of this Purple Sky Stone.

He hadn’t expected Mei Manor to come up with a story on his own.

Ji Yuan simply went along with it.

”But back then, this junior obtained some treasures that slightly increased Blood Qi. After taking them, and then being tempered by the Thunder Shock Marsh, I barely managed to step into the Bone Forging Realm.”

Ji Yuan said, somewhat embarrassed, ”If I relied solely on Thunder Forging Body, then even if I could break through to the peak of the Bone Forging Realm, it’d probably take quite a bit of time.”

”That’s fine. Since I’ve promised to ask you for help, as for cultivation resources, you naturally don’t need to worry.”

As the two spoke, they arrived in front of this thunderstorm.

Ji Yuan looked out and saw that everywhere his eyes could reach, under rolling dark clouds, it was all lightning and thunder.

This scene was no different from what he had seen back at the Thunder Shock Marsh.

No... it was even more like the Thunderstorm Area on the outskirts of Ice and Fire Island.

After all, both places appeared over the sea.

The scene of thunderstorm crashing down onto the ocean now was exactly the same... Just didn’t know if there were any thunderstorm Serpents inside. If so, he could conveniently slaughter one.

Ji Yuan subconsciously thought of the scene back then when he’d been chased by a thunderstorm Serpent.

”Once you take this eight-thousand-year-old spiritual blood ginseng, then use the thunderstorm here to temper yourself, I don’t think breaking through to the peak of the Bone Forging Realm will be any problem.”

Mei Manor said as he tossed a Jade Box into Ji Yuan’s hands.

Ji Yuan took it and opened it. A blood-red ginseng as long as a child’s forearm lay quietly inside the Jade Box, wrapped in silk, its whole body exuding dense Blood Qi.

...This was probably close to a Tier Four treasure of Heaven and Earth. If you used it to refine Healing Elixir, you could most likely refine Tier Four Elixir.

”Many thanks, Manor Master.”

Ji Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly put it into his Storage Bag.

”Why, you’re not taking it now?”

Mei Manor asked with a smile.

”No, this junior wants to go in and temper his body first. Once my body’s tolerance reaches its limit, then I’ll take this spiritual blood ginseng. Only then can its effect be maximized.”

Ji Yuan explained.

On this point, he wasn’t lying.

For Body Cultivators taking Treasures of Heaven and Earth, naturally the best effect came when the body had been pushed to its limit first.

In other words, once the body reached its limit, it was like the body had become hungry.

Right now, the body wasn’t hungry yet, so eating it wouldn’t work nearly as well.

It’s just that... the truth also hid another truth.

Ji Yuan’s real thought was that he didn’t trust Mei Manor.
