Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1292: Chapter 437: [Spirit Vein: Level 4]

"Indeed."

The Soul Hall Master finally made up his mind, "Let’s go to Beiwang Mountain and take a look; if the opportunity is right, we’ll take action."

"Alright!"

The Duo Ghost Demon Lord, having just returned a short while ago, took the lead again, flying away from the Soul Refining Hall, heading straight south.

The Soul Hall Master followed closely behind.

"..."

"Gone."

When the Soul Hall Master and Duo Ghost Demon Lord arrived at Beiwang Mountain, their Divine Sense swept across the area, immediately discerning the situation within the Spirit Vein.

The Top-grade Spirit Stones were naturally gone, and many Upper-grade Spirit Stones had also been mined; besides those, the Spirit Stones that had been excavated but temporarily stored here were also taken away.

No one was there.

The Soul Hall Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the current situation was still unclear, and he was worried about encountering several Nascent Soul cultivators here, which would force him into a hard battle.

But the Duo Ghost Demon Lord felt it was quite a pity.

He thought it would be great if the person was still here.

"Since the Top-grade Spirit Stones here are gone, arrange for disciples from within the sect to come and mine the Spirit Stones. Meanwhile, I’ll guard here, and you should return to the sect to handle this matter. Once it’s arranged, you should go into seclusion to heal."

The Soul Hall Master instructed.

"Alright, thank you, Hall Master."

The Duo Ghost Demon Lord slightly bowed his hand, then once again transformed into Escape Light and sped north.

...

Meanwhile.

To the west of Beiwang Mountain, thousands of miles away in an unremarkable wasteland, within a speck of dust on the ground.

Ji Yuan and Tu Yue sat inside the Cave Mansion, gazing at a Top-grade Spirit Stone that was glowing with radiant lights.

"So this is a Top-grade Spirit Stone; it’s so beautiful. Master, why don’t we keep it?"

"Just leave it inside the Spirit Vein."

Women always have little resistance to beautiful things, and Tu Yue was no exception.

"It’s fine. I originally intended to place it inside the Spirit Vein."

Using it to upgrade the Spirit Vein, in a way, isn’t it also staying inside the Spirit Vein?

"Master, you must be using it to enhance the Spirit Vein; for this, you even engaged with a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Tu Yue immediately saw through Ji Yuan’s intentions.

"You know but still say it."

Ji Yuan said as he stood up and stretched, "But that Duo Ghost Demon Lord... does have strength, but unfortunately not strong enough; couldn’t fully enjoy the fight, didn’t even use the Purple Gold Gourd or Purple Sky Divine Thunder."

"I guess someone who can make the master go all out would at least have to be a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

Tu Yue said and nodded to herself, deeply agreeing.

"Not necessarily; this Duo Ghost Demon Lord probably didn’t use all his might and just ran away seeing he wasn’t winning."

Ji Yuan recalled the situation during the battle.

Firstly, it was within the Spirit Vein, unable to fully exhibit strength.

Secondly, this Duo Ghost Demon Lord didn’t want to fight to the death.

After barely reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, cultivation is not easy. If avoiding life-and-death battles is possible, it’s certainly better not to.

"But next time when he battles someone else, it might be different."

Tu Yue chuckled, covering her mouth.

Ji Yuan naturally understood what she meant.

"The first time using this Heart Demon Seed, hoping for a good outcome."

Ji Yuan spoke with some sentiment, the feeling of planting a seed.

Just waiting to see if it will bloom and bear fruit later.

"Watch, I’ll first upgrade the Spirit Vein."

Ji Yuan said, then took the Top-grade Spirit Stone, turned, and entered the Spirit Vein.

Tu Yue stayed seated, resting her chin in her hands, stared blankly at Ji Yuan’s departing figure.

"Fortunately, before departure, I asked Fairy Baihua for two drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk, otherwise even if I had this Top-grade Spirit Stone, upgrading the Spirit Vein would still be difficult."

Ji Yuan thought, arriving at the deepest part of the Spirit Vein, he stopped and pointed towards the direction he came from; Spirit Stones flew from his sleeves like streams, landing on the ground, forming a small mountain.

"1 Top-grade Spirit Stone; 800 Upper-grade Spirit Stones; 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones; 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones; 5 drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk; 100 drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk."

As Ji Yuan took out all these items and placed them one by one before him, he felt somewhat pained.

Not to mention anything else, just that single Top-grade Spirit Stone would be considered a priceless treasure.

Even more, the 5 drops of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk and the actual mountain of Low-grade Spirit Stones.

...Well, just treat it as an early investment, all for better returns.

Ji Yuan thought, glancing at the Spirit Effect of the Level 4 Spirit Vein.

Spirit Vein: lv4 (Upgradable)

Spirit Effect 1: Within a radius of twenty miles, Spiritual Qi density +500%.

Spirit Effect 2: Produces 1 Upper-grade Spirit Stone, 1,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones daily.

Spirit Effect 3: Produces 1 drop of "Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk" annually.

These alone are sufficient.

After contemplating, Ji Yuan finally made up his mind.

"Spirit Vein, upgrade!"

With his Heart Thought falling, all the Spirit Stones and Spirit Milk turned into pure Spiritual Qi and dissipated, leaving powder behind.

The ensuing change was Ji Yuan sensing an extremely dense surge of Spiritual Qi coming towards him, and the Spirit Vein began extending downward continually.

The size increased as well.

Standing where he was, Ji Yuan could feel the surrounding Spiritual Qi constantly squeezing into his body.

...The opportunity for building upgrades has arrived!

Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate, sat down immediately and began operating his Cultivation Technique, frantically absorbing the extremely dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him.

He didn’t know how long it had passed, until he sensed the surrounding Spiritual Qi ceased its tumultuous flow, and everything returned to normal, then he stopped.
