Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1163: Chapter 408: [Fish Pond]—The Serpent Transforms into a Dragon! [Seeking Monthly Pass]

"Here are Spirit Pigs growing ’Blazing Sun Bones,’ which should amount to more than fifty, meaning I can have over fifty pieces of Blazing Sun Bones."

"Combined with the forty or so Blazing Sun Bones stored by Tu Yue and the numerous Profound Sun Blood Ambers..."

Ji Yuan contemplated this in his heart.

"I don’t have much else to do next. It seems indeed feasible to go to the Martial God Tower for some training; with these Blazing Sun Bones and Profound Sun Blood Ambers, enhancing my body cultivation to the peak of the Muscle Forging Realm should be no problem. If I can go further, stepping into the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm, that would be even better."

"In the Golden Body Profound Bone Realm, a body cultivator can physically rival Nascent Soul cultivators. By then, I can truly possess Nascent Soul-level combat strength, and I wouldn’t need to flee even if I encounter ordinary Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."

"If it really doesn’t work out, I should be able to cultivate the body cultivator phenomenon mentioned by the artifact spirit of the Martial God Tower."

Having made up his mind, Ji Yuan decided it was time to go to the Martial God Tower for a period of training, in addition to continuing to nurture his Divine Sense.

Afterward, he retreated from the "Pigsty" and turned to the "Chaotic Burial Mound" nearby.

If the "Pigsty" nearby exudes a burning aura, then the "Chaotic Burial Mound" gives Ji Yuan a completely cold feeling.

Previously, when the "Chaotic Burial Mound" was placed on an island outside, Ji Yuan would put it in dense forests.

Now, within the Mountain of Mind and Heart, he’s left it unattended.

Therefore, it remains an endless field, with grayish ghostly fog floating above.

Those not properly buried still leave visible mounds on this wild landscape.

One mound signifies a corpse underneath that hasn’t yet climbed out.

Although most corpse puppets have been taken by Tu Yue to work on the "Spirit Field," a few Qi Cultivation Stage corpse puppets are still left wandering here.

Firstly, when Ji Yuan brings in corpses,

they can help bury them.

Secondly, when new corpses transform into corpse puppets and crawl out of the "Chaotic Burial Mound," they can assist.

Ji Yuan still checks with Divine Sense.

Not finding any new corpse puppet at Core Formation Stage, he quickly lost interest.

As for the Foundation Establishment Stage corpse puppets, for him, they don’t even qualify as cannon fodder.

Only corpse puppets at Core Formation Stage can be used as cannon fodder.

When danger arises, they can be pushed forward.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan couldn’t resist calling out the panel for a look.

"Chaotic Burial Mound: Level 4 (Upgrade Not Possible)"

"Spirit Effect 1: Yin Energy concentration +400%; increased probability of corpse transformation; corpse puppets can autonomously absorb Yin Energy to enhance their strength."

"Spirit Effect 2 (Netherworld Corpse Fire): Yin Corpse Demon Fire can advance to the more powerful Netherworld Corpse Fire."

"Upgrade Conditions: Bury 100 Golden Core Stage corpses, 10 Peak of Golden Core corpses, 1 Nascent Soul Stage corpse. (Not Achieved)"

He mainly looked at the upgrade conditions for the Level 4 "Chaotic Burial Mound."

As for the Nascent Soul Body, Ji Yuan has already killed one Nascent Soul, but Eagle Changkong’s body was blasted to smithereens by the "Meteor Cannon."

Not to mention the body, not even a single hair was left.

He’ll have to come up with a solution later.

He originally thought 100 Golden Core Stage corpses would be extremely difficult, but after the Rashamon Sea trip, he has gathered a substantial amount so far.

Adding earlier gains, he estimates having around 80 Golden Core Stage corpses.

Finally, there are these 10 Peak Golden Core corpses.

This is relatively difficult too.

Ji Yuan has only buried his old friend, Ma Gui, among the Peak Golden Core corpses.

Although he indeed killed a peak Core Formation cultivator in the Rashamon Sea, due to a chaotic battle, he couldn’t keep the body.

"Nine more remain. I truly need to think of a solution for this."

"After all, Peak Golden Core cultivators are not as common as ordinary Core Formation cultivators. Even in the Eight Holy Lands, Peak Golden Core cultivators are nurtured as future Nascent Soul cultivators."

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan closed the panel and left the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

The "Meditation Room" for nurturing Divine Sense and the "Martial Arts Arena" for accessing the Martial God Tower are both outside.

Nevertheless, Ji Yuan plans to test storing a building, aiming initially for the "Meditation Room" because it’s frequently used and convenient to store.

But the thought of the "Meditation Room’s" storage cost makes him hesitate.

Storing the "Meditation Room" requires 50 pounds of Void Nether Stone.

Among Ji Yuan’s numerous buildings, this already counts as top-tier.

Expensive and heavy.

The price is tolerable, as Ji Yuan has obtained a fair amount of Void Nether Stone from the Bone Nightmare Sect before.

It’s just the weight... Ji Yuan exerted much effort when storing the "Spirit Field" last time.

Storing yet another heavy one now...

Forget it.

Let’s first store the "Enlightenment Room," needing just 30 pounds of Void Nether Stone, which shouldn’t be very heavy.

Considering this, Ji Yuan entered the recently upgraded "Enlightenment Room."

He summoned his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Mountain of Mind and Heart, causing it to float in the air within the "Enlightenment Room."

Then, he used his Heart Thought to urge it.

"Store!"

The Mountain of Mind and Heart slowly rotated, quickly emanating a force to draw the entire stone chamber inside.

Soon, a view appeared in Ji Yuan’s mind.

It was the internal scene of the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Divided into five layers.

Ji Yuan naturally planned ahead.

He intended to place the Scripture Pavilion, Enlightenment Room, and Meditation Room in the fifth layer.

This setup would make cultivation convenient, eliminating the need to go up and down.

Along with his Heart Thought falling.

The previously slow-spinning Mountain of Mind and Heart suddenly accelerated, and a powerful suction swept through the entire stone chamber...

Moments later.

A speck of dust fell.

Ji Yuan disappeared in the stone chamber’s interior, returning to stand the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

Heavy.

It’s indeed considerably heavier.

Even a late Core Formation cultivator feels a bit strained operating it, though still manageable.

If wanting to store another building, certainly, it won’t work.

"Thankfully, I didn’t choose to store the ’Meditation Room;’ if truly wanting to store such a large building, might have to wait until I actually undergo Nascent Soul Formation."

Ji Yuan concluded a spell and returned the Lifebound Magical Treasure to his Dantian.

Immediately leaving the stone chamber, he entered the adjacent stone chamber.

The inscriptions above read - "Martial Arts Arena."

Within, the high platform forged from bluestone awaited; arriving here, Ji Yuan first consumed one or two pieces of Profound Sun Blood Amber.

Then, putting a piece of Blazing Sun Bones in his mouth, began practicing his Pile Skill here in the "Martial Arts Arena."

This Level 2 "Martial Arts Arena" boosts body refining effects by 40%, certainly better than practicing outside.

Ji Yuan determined to ignite his long stagnant physique, preparing to be challenged in the Martial God Tower.

Half a day passed this way.

Feeling adequately prepared, Ji Yuan used his Heart Thought to activate the "Martial Arts Arena’s" Spirit Effect.

Soon, his consciousness began withdrawing from his body, and the scene before him shifted.

Yet when about to see the familiar Martial God Tower, he heard two people’s conversation.

"The Martial God Tower must be nearby."

"The ancestral documented lore won’t be wrong!"
