Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1055: Chapter 386: Inner Realm; Encounter with Mu Xueyao [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Ji Yuan took another step forward and arrived at the entrance of the Elixir shop, looking up.

As he saw the vine again, he noticed it had disappeared onto the roof in the distance.

Did it run away?

But just then, a muffled groan came from Hundred Insects Old Immortal, who had just been thrust into the gray mist.

The magical combat continued.

Ji Yuan immediately turned around and looked back, only to see Hundred Insects Old Immortal in the gray mist, wielding the Magical Treasure "Ten Thousand Blades" fighting against three vines.

Divine Sense still couldn’t probe it.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly, but didn’t hesitate, immediately pointing his finger.

Countless Spirit-Devouring Bees flew out from behind him, swarming towards all directions.

Ji Yuan couldn’t use Divine Sense to detect the vines, but he could see the Spirit-Devouring Bees.

Wherever the bees encountered problems, that would indicate the vines had emerged from that place.

The vine that could easily injure the Hundred Insects Old Immortal was not to be underestimated by Ji Yuan.

Just like now, as he looked at the three vines in the mist, three Canglan Swords immediately shot out.

The sword tips clashed with the vines.

"Crackle—"

For this, Ji Yuan also activated the Purple Sky Divine Thunder contained within the three Canglan Child Swords.

The Divine Thunder struck down, instantly severing the three vines, which fell to the ground.

The remaining parts of the vine retreated into the depths of the mist as if avoiding something deadly.

Hundred Insects Old Immortal picked up the three vines and delivered them back.

The parts severed by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder looked somewhat charred, while the rest looked tender green.

Ji Yuan took them, feeling somewhat cold and soft in his hand.

To Ji Yuan, it felt nothing like holding a vine, but more like holding a piece of... meat.

It had a very meaty texture.

Moreover, he discovered that previously undetectable vines could now be seen with his Divine Sense after being severed.

But in Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense, these were just three simple vines, with no Spiritual Qi fluctuations or blood energy dispersing.

But the fact that these vines could block Divine Sense detection indicated that they were not simple.

Ji Yuan glanced at them a few times, ultimately deciding to put them in a separate Storage Bag, then stored them into the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

After dealing with these, he returned to the door of the Elixir shop.

For caution’s sake, he asked Hundred Insects Old Immortal to open the door.

The moment the wooden door was pushed open, Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense squeezed in, sweeping over the entire room in an instant.

Inside... there was none of the Yin Ghost the Ghost Envoy mentioned; everything was there but looked very old.

Some places even showed signs of decay.

Though the elixir shelves still had a dozen bottles of elixir, they were all covered in dust.

Since there was nothing dirty, Ji Yuan brought in the four Flying Swords into the house.

He used the Artifact Manipulation Technique, but as soon as the mana touched them, all the porcelain bottles and the elixirs inside turned to dust.

It could be seen that no matter how well-protected these elixirs were, they could not withstand the ravages of time.

But what about the... treasure?

Ji Yuan turned around, his Divine Sense continued to search the entire room, unable to find anything... should he just destroy it?

"Go!"

Ji Yuan directed a Heart Thought towards a Flying Sword, a Blood Killing Sword flew out, aiming to smash the counter, but before it could touch it, it was bounced away by a mysterious force.

"Is this... an Array?!"

Ji Yuan stepped forward and looked at the Array Patterns suspended in the air, feeling a bit surprised.

If so, then it wouldn’t be destructible, and he would have to find it himself.

He took a few glances around the room, his gaze finally landing on a Sandalwood Box on the shelf.

He used his Artifact Manipulation Technique to take it down, directly raising his hand to open the wooden box.

But just as he opened the box, a golden elixir flew out from inside, hovering in front of him.

"Gold Casting Pill!"

Ji Yuan immediately recognized it.

A good thing, but it was of no use to him, so he could only use it to trade for a Spirit Stone later or give it as a gift.

Ji Yuan took out a dedicated Jade Box to store the Gold Casting Pill.

Having a find got Ji Yuan excited.

He then meticulously inspected the Elixir shop, but... found nothing.

The entire Elixir shop, the only treasure was the Gold Casting Pill.

Ji Yuan exited, thoughtfully closing the wooden door.

Then, without going far, he arrived at the entrance of the neighboring shop.

This time, he didn’t let Hundred Insects Old Immortal go in but had him guard the door, vigilant for any vines that might appear.

Ji Yuan pushed open the door and went in.

Just as the wooden door opened, a Yin Ghost in the early-stage Core Formation lunged out.

"Roar—"

Ji Yuan had anticipated this, but when he actually encountered the scene, he was still startled and took a step back.

But he quickly reacted, seeing the Yin Ghost blocked by his Protective Spirit Light, he couldn’t help but curse.

"Roar at your dad!"

After saying so, he didn’t even use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder but directly pressed his hand onto the Yin Ghost’s head.

The Yin Corpse Demon Fire surged from his palm, and in the span of a single breath.

The Yin Ghost was burned to nothing, not even leaving a trace of ash.

With no ghost in the way, Ji Yuan stepped inside, and after a moment, he was seen walking out of the store, weighing a half-pound Void Nether Stone.

The Gold Casting Pill was useless to him, but this Void Nether Stone was useful.

Before leaving, Ji Yuan glanced back at the shop.

In terms of size, it was similar to the Elixir shop next door, with no signboard, but when he went inside, Ji Yuan realized it was a miscellaneous shop, or a general store, selling all kinds of things.

... So, does the treasure inside a shop also relate to the type of store it is?
