Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1205: Chapter 417: Body Cultivation Treasure? [Monthly Pass Request]

Plus the Tier Three Ant King and Bee King.

With all means deployed, taking down Manor Master Mei is quite certain.

Ji Yuan guessed that something must have happened in the Land of the Sea Ruins, or perhaps something happened on the Jiyuan Continent, because after Manor Master Mei explained the matter, he left this place directly.

As soon as he left, Ji Yuan’s instinctive thought was to leave as well.

But just as he was about to rise, he sensed a gaze coming from the sea beneath his feet, which made him, who was just thinking of leaving, immediately stop.

He turned his head pretending to look towards the Thunderstorm Area, implying that he intended to enter now, but after some hesitation.

He still sighed and sat back down.

”...Damn Manor Master Mei, I knew that scoundrel didn’t have good intentions. He most likely left some method under this sea to watch me, just waiting for me to flee voluntarily.”

”Luckily my Divine Sense is strong enough to detect abnormalities, otherwise, I would have indeed fallen into a trap just now.”

Thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind, but in the end, he did not release his Divine Sense.

The method used by Manor Master Mei, it’s likely a mid-stage Nascent Soul Demon Beast watching from the seabed, and if he rashly released his Divine Sense, it could be counteracted, which would be troublesome.

After all, the urge to run wasn’t that strong.

Better to have one less problem.

Afterwards, Ji Yuan waited peacefully on this island for nearly ten days before the tardy arrival of Lu Yingying.

”Greetings to Lu Qian... Sister Lu.”

Ji Yuan reacted quickly and changed his address.

”Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Lu Yingying covered her small mouth with her left hand, and with her right, she gently patted a Storage Bag tied with a pink bow at her waist.

Immediately, a blood-red stream of light fell in front of Ji Yuan.

He looked down and saw that what Manor Master Mei had given this time was a blood-red Treasure Pearl the size of a Demon Pill, with the emanating Blood Qi solidified, forming thin blood-red mist around the Treasure Pearl.

”This is the All Spirits Blood Pearl, which the young master specifically sought to enhance your strength.”

Ji Yuan, with trepidation, accepted it with both hands and quickly said, ”Thank you, Manor Master.”

Only after saying this did he carefully store it in his Storage Bag and let out a long breath, as if a heavy stone in his heart had finally been put down.

After giving this item, Lu Yingying also seemed to feel relieved, sitting aside and asked with a giggle:

”Why do you call the young master the Manor Master?”

...Because when he was on the Cangluo Continent, he was Manor Master Mei himself.

However, the matter that Manor Master Mei didn’t explain to Lu Yingying, Ji Yuan naturally couldn’t say, but since Lu Yingying asked, he couldn’t just not answer.

”The Manor Master told me to call him that, but I don’t know the specifics either.”

”Well... alright then.”

Lu Yingying did not pursue it further, turned and looked towards the thunderstorm, wanting to continue questioning, but Ji Yuan was a step ahead and asked:

”Sister Lu, Manor Master went back so urgently this time, could it be that something happened on the Jiyuan Continent?”

Ji Yuan speculated that it is most likely the war between the Barbarian God Continent and the Desolate Ancient Continent, which has affected the Jiyuan Continent, but he wasn’t sure.

On this isolated island overseas, it’s completely in a state of seclusion from the world.

”Manor Master said not to concern yourself too much, just focus on your cultivation.”

Manor Master Mei predicted Ji Yuan’s guess and had already informed Lu Yingying in advance.

Ji Yuan had no other choice and said, ”Then, I will go and cultivate first.”

After saying that, he slightly cupped his hands, and before Lu Yingying could speak, he had already transformed into an Escape Light and left the island, returning to the Thunderstorm Area.

Saying cultivation, Ji Yuan really cultivated.

When he emerged from the Thunderstorm Area again, two months had passed.

Manor Master Mei was still absent, and Lu Yingying was still idly waiting there.

After asking Ji Yuan if he had made a breakthrough and receiving a negative response, she lost interest.

Ji Yuan cultivated Mana on this island for another half month until his condition was almost recovered, then returned to the Thunderstorm Area.

This time he stayed even longer, a full three months, before he emerged from the Thunderstorm Area looking haggard.

Manor Master Mei was still absent, but from Lu Yingying, Ji Yuan learned that he had been here earlier.

”The young master told me to urge you to make a breakthrough soon, you can’t delay any longer.”

Ji Yuan listened and smiled bitterly, ”Cultivation isn’t something that can happen just because I want it to; if it were, I’d wish to enter the Divinity Transformation Realm in one step too.”

”I wouldn’t know about that.”

Lu Yingying rolled her eyes, seemingly uninterested.

But these words did give Ji Yuan some pressure, indicating that the situation seemed to be deteriorating, so Manor Master Mei couldn’t wait any longer?

It must be so, otherwise, he wouldn’t urge Ji Yuan.

After all, adding everything up... Ji Yuan had already delayed a year trying to break through in this Thunderstorm Area.

”I’ll do my best.”

This time, Ji Yuan only rested for ten days before returning to the Thunderstorm Area, but he soon received a message from Manor Master Mei this time, after only staying for a month.

The message was extremely simple as well.

”Kid, get on with it.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately perked up; it seemed Manor Master Mei truly couldn’t wait any longer, so this time... the breakthrough should happen.

However, even if he made a breakthrough, it couldn’t be simple; otherwise, it would seem like he was merely acting?

Thus, Ji Yuan replied, ”If I don’t break through this time, I won’t leave seclusion” and then cultivated in the Thunderstorm Area for yet another half year.

After half a year passed, when he emerged from the Thunderstorm Area again.

He saw Manor Master Mei on the island with a somber expression.

Ji Yuan cupped his hands and smiled, only saying four words.

”Fortunately, I didn’t fail.”

Manor Master Mei also smiled.
