Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1159: Chapter 407: Late-stage Core Formation! [Enlightenment Room: Level 3][Meditation Room: Level 3]

The five Frost Serpents that seemed as thin as chopsticks had now transformed into gigantic Serpents thirty meters long.

They stirred up massive waves on the water’s surface, breaking through to rise and soar upward.

The Serpents were flying and gliding in the sky over the Fish Pond, exuding a frigid aura, which froze the surface of the Fish Pond and turned it into an ice pool.

Ji Yuan himself floated in midair, his Divine Sense swept over these Frost Serpents.

From Monday at the beginning, it’s now developed to Friday.

Ji Yuan still remembered the first four, especially Monday and Tuesday, who had followed him far and wide.

Wednesday and Thursday, although there wasn’t much interaction, Ji Yuan knew when they appeared, as he sometimes saw them resting by the Fish Pond.

But Friday... Ji Yuan called Tu Yue, asked a few questions, and only then understood the situation.

It turns out Friday evolved from Spirit Fish while Ji Yuan was in seclusion at the Bone Nightmare Sect.

But at that time, Ji Yuan didn’t pay much attention, and upon emerging from seclusion, hurriedly went to the Rashamon Sea.

So it’s natural not to know.

Ji Yuan assessed the cultivation level of these Frost Serpents.

Monday and Tuesday were considered old Serpents, but they were merely at Late-stage Tier Three.

Wednesday and Thursday were even lower, only recently promoted to Early-Tier Three.

Friday, newly born, was only at Late Stage Tier One.

Next to these Tier Three Serpents, it looked like a little snake, only able to crawl on the ice surface.

"Frost Serpent is only a Tier Three Spirit Beast, so even if I gave them the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, it would barely reach Peak Tier Three... Peak of Core Formation’s cultivation, not very useful."

Ji Yuan, pondering, glanced at the panel.

"The Fish Pond is now Level 4, with Spirit Effect 2 ’Serpent into Chilin,’ implies that these Tier Three Frost Serpents can transform into Tier Four Spirit Beasts, Chilins."

"If they successfully transform and then consume the Nine Nether Burning Life Brew, it could propel them to Late Fourth Rank, equivalent to Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators... If two of them together, not even the Black and White Dual Fiends could stop me."

"The current issue is how to enable these Frost Serpents to evolve into Chilins?"

Ji Yuan pondered, recalling when Monday appeared—back then, guided by Hua Yaoyue, he captured a strand of Dragon Qi at Li Hua River.

Let’s consider it Dragon Qi for now.

After being devoured by Monday, it naturally transformed from Spirit Fish into a Serpent.

So now, to let these Frost Serpents evolve into Chilins again, could this method be a starting point?

With this thought, Ji Yuan had a realization.

With a flicker, he vanished from the Fish Pond.

When he reappeared, he was back at the Cave Mansion.

He looked at the stone wall before him, covered with Storage Bags, each labeled with words below.

Such as Spirit Stone, Elixir, Magical Treasure, Talisman, ...

These were Tu Yue’s handiwork.

Due to Ji Yuan’s increasing acquisitions, Tu Yue categorized and stored his collections here, for Ji Yuan’s convenience.

To Ji Yuan, this wall served as his Treasure Vault.

"In the future, if I have time, I could try constructing a Treasure Vault or Pavilion to see if there might be any special Spirit Effect."

For now, Ji Yuan raised his hand and took down the Storage Bag labeled ’Minerals.’

His Divine Sense perused it.

And then Ji Yuan’s hand held ten stones.

Ten blood-stained stones.

Dragon Blood Stones.

Previously, on the Cangluo Continent, Ji Yuan had expended much effort to find these for upgrading the Fish Pond to Level 4.

Now, in the Jiyuan Continent, after casually killing dozens of Core Formation Cultivators, he unexpectedly obtained ten Dragon Blood Stones.

"These Dragon Blood Stones originally mutated from minerals contaminated by the blood of Tier Four Dragon Species. If I can use the Artifact Refining Technique to purify these stones, the Dragon Species blood within might be re-extracted, and if these Frost Serpents ingest it, they might evolve and transform into Chilins."

After his realization, Ji Yuan walked out of the Mountain of Mind and Heart, visiting the exterior Cave Mansion.

But he did not linger, heading directly to the Celestial Craft Square nearby.

Ji Yuan retrieved a Core Formation level artifact furnace from his Storage Bag, then began to use Pill Fire to summon Earth Vein Fire.

To heat the furnace.

He took a moment to adjust his breath, waiting until the furnace was sufficiently heated, before throwing the five Dragon Blood Stones into the furnace to refine with Earth Vein Fire.

To refine the ores without damaging the Dragon Species blood inside... was a challenging task.

This required high proficiency in Divine Sense and Artifact Refining.

Luckily, for Ji Yuan, he lacked neither.

Another thought of his old friend who led him into Artifact Refining, Isle Master Tie Chui, flashed his mind.

"Haha, Blood Luo Mountain and Jiang Hong, just wait, when I upgrade to Nascent Soul, you must give an explanation!"

Ji Yuan’s thoughts flickered, focusing entirely on "unraveling the threads."

Several days later.

All ten Dragon Blood Stones were entirely refined by Ji Yuan, transforming into four drops of blood with intense energy fluctuations!

"Ten Dragon Blood Stones, only extracted four drops of blood, although it’s still a bit less, it’s worth trying."
