Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 625: Chapter 278: One Nascent Soul and a Group of Nascent Souls

After Ji Yuan returned from Coastal City, he went directly to Wan You Island.

He had been cultivating diligently at home for several months and hadn’t come to pay respects, which made Ji Yuan feel a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, this time he brought enough Heart’s Desire Wine when he went out... When he arrived on Wan You Island, it was rare that Hua Yaoyue wasn’t resting in the pavilion or at the mountain top.

Instead, she was strolling on the sandy shore by the lake.

"Disciple greets Master."

After Ji Yuan descended, he slightly cupped his hands towards Hua Yaoyue and also handed over a Storage Bag, "This is the wine I brewed during this period."

Inside not only was there Heart’s Desire Wine and Unrivaled Wine, but also some Spirit Wine enhanced by the Wine Cellar.

Hua Yaoyue, walking ahead, did not turn around. She merely raised her right hand, and with a slight movement of her snow-white hand, the Storage Bag landed in her hand. She casually placed it on her waist, collected it, and then said:

"Kong Xifeng has left."

"Hmm?!"

Ji Yuan suddenly looked up.

"Gone to meet Nascent Soul cultivators from other sects."

Hua Yaoyue explained, and Ji Yuan finally felt at ease, "Disciple thought... thought the ancestor was gone."

"As long as she doesn’t fully exert herself in fights, it’s not a problem for her to live for a few more decades."

"So they went... to discuss the Jiyuan Continent issue?"

"Yes, let’s see what they decide."

Obviously, Hua Yaoyue’s mind was somewhat occupied by this matter, otherwise, she wouldn’t be walking by the lake now.

"Oh right, Master, that Tier Four old turtle at the bottom of the marsh asked me to bring you a message."

Just as Ji Yuan finished speaking, Hua Yaoyue suddenly turned to look at him, scanned him up and down, then slowly withdrew her gaze, "Don’t run around when there’s nothing, behave yourself."

"If I hadn’t discovered that old thing’s presence early, do you think you could still return alive after encountering it?"

"This... Disciple was seeking a chance to break through, happened to come across it, and had no other choice."

Ji Yuan was truly helpless, having no other options.

"So, to what realm have you reached in Body Cultivation?"

Ji Yuan’s Body Refinement could be hidden from others but not from Hua Yaoyue.

"Peak of Foundation Establishment."

Ji Yuan honestly replied.

"Not bad, your talent in Body Cultivation surpasses that in Magic Cultivation, don’t waste it. In the future, if there’s an opportunity, you can visit the Martial God Continent, there are many opportunities for Body Cultivators there."

Hua Yaoyue rarely revealed the existence of another continent.

Ji Yuan hurriedly asked, "Martial God Continent... What kind of place is that, is it far from our Cangluo Continent?"

"Very far, once you have the strength to traverse between many continents, you’ll naturally know where it is. As for the Martial God Continent... there, Magic Cultivators are extremely rare, the whole continent’s cultivators are basically Body Cultivators."

Hua Yaoyue explained.

"Isn’t that just like our Cangluo Continent, where we’re all Magic Cultivators, without any Body Cultivators!"

Ji Yuan said with some excitement.

Hua Yaoyue: "Haha."

"Do you know what the real prominent continents see Cangluo Continent as?" Hua Yaoyue didn’t expect Ji Yuan to answer, so she continued herself after speaking.

"They see it as Cangluo Island, or perhaps a small village... not even a town."

Ji Yuan: "..."

... Martial God Continent has no Magic Cultivators because they disdain the path of Magic Cultivation.

Cangluo Continent has no Body Cultivators because it doesn’t deserve to have them.

"Then how vast is this world really?" Ji Yuan couldn’t help but think this.

Hua Yaoyue walked ahead, with Ji Yuan, her closed-door disciple, following closely behind.

"Who do you think is considered a genius in our Cangluo Continent?"

Hua Yaoyue asked softly.

"It must be only you, Master." Ji Yuan responded with cupped hands.

Hua Yaoyue: "... Get lost!"

"Alright, Disciple does not know. Now I think everyone looks like a genius, and none of the cultivators who can form a core is simple."

Ji Yuan responded honestly.

"Perhaps, in this world, the most abundant are geniuses, because there are just too many, heroes are the same, like carp crossing the river, endless."

Hua Yaoyue said as she stopped walking.

Ji Yuan stood formally, then looked at the vast marsh before him, and softly said: "The river does not compete to be first, what it strives for is endless flowing."

"Disciple is the same. I do not seek to be invincible among peers, nor to be unmatched in the world, only to achieve eternal longevity."

After he finished speaking, he did not get a response from Hua Yaoyue.

Just as he was puzzled and took a step forward to see what was happening with Hua Yaoyue, he heard her muttering, "The river does not compete to be first, what it strives for is endless flowing..."

"Endless flowing..."

"..."

Hua Yaoyue seemed to have realized something, slowly closing her eyes.

In that instant, Ji Yuan felt as if the entire world suddenly paused, the vast Boundless Marsh became quiet, yet in his ears was the sound of flowing water that didn’t exist.

The sound was clear and soothing.

Making Ji Yuan feel as if he was beside a mountain stream, watching a small creek flow endlessly downhill.

"This..."

Listening, Ji Yuan felt a sense of refreshment, even his whole mindset became incomparably calm.

Though he didn’t know exactly what happened.

But from the current situation, it seemed Hua Yaoyue had realized something, and standing beside her, Ji Yuan could share a bit of this opportunity.

But what exactly to do, he did not know.

Just knowing... to enjoy it was enough.

However, this feeling made him feel very comfortable, very at ease.

Until a little over half an incense stick’s time passed, the feeling gradually faded from his heart, and the sound of flowing water in his ears vanished along with it.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes from the enjoyment, just in time to meet Hua Yaoyue’s gaze.
