Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 640: Chapter 283: Nine Swords Combined, Peak of Foundation Establishment!

The Medicine King felt like he might have been a bit foolish.

Or perhaps too many things had happened recently, leaving his mind a bit dazed?

But as a mid-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, surely he wasn’t that mentally unstable, right?

Not to mention he had been nourished by the Fountain of Eternal Youth for years; how could his body have a problem?

But if there was no problem with his body,

then how the hell did someone manage to appear right in front of him before he even realized it!

If it weren’t for the fact that his eyes weren’t blind,

perhaps they would have drained the Fountain of Eternal Youth dry before he noticed.

As this thought flashed through his mind, the Medicine King had already sensed the aura of the two people in front of him.

The man was quite ordinary, just in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, but the woman in the black dress... had no cultivation whatsoever, just a mere mortal.

But when the Medicine King truly tried to probe with his Divine Sense, he discovered that the woman’s aura was as vast as the sea.

’This...’

What the hell? What the hell does this mean?

It means that the woman is at least a Divinity Transformation Cultivator!

The Medicine King had seen Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators before; he had once shared drinks with the One Sword Master from the Sword Ruins, but even with that old sword immortal, he could sense his strength and aura.

But with this woman in front of him?

Almost instantly, the Medicine King became... afraid.

Hua Yaoyue glanced at the Medicine King with disdain and casually waved her hand.

"Step aside, don’t block my disciple’s cultivation."

The Medicine King’s face immediately flushed red; he didn’t know whether to stand up or not.

Standing up because he hadn’t experienced this feeling of being an ant for hundreds of years, he was unfamiliar with it and couldn’t recall how it felt to be an ant at that time.

Standing up out of instinctive fear and dread of cultivation realms.

To stand or not to stand, what sense does that make?

So Hua Yaoyue struck.

She twisted her right hand, originally hanging at her side, and in an instant, a bright silver spear with a red tassel materialized in her grip. She casually spun it and thrust it forward.

The spear tip instantly reached the Medicine King’s forehead.

And this Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley didn’t even have time to react throughout the entire process. It was only when the threat of death enveloped his heart that his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

"Se-se-se-senior... spare me."

The Medicine King, seeing that the spear tip did not press any further forward, realized his chance for survival was right in front of him, so he quickly pleaded for mercy.

If it weren’t for the outsider, Ji Yuan’s eyes would have popped out, but unfortunately, the person saying these words was right in front of him, so he could only pretend to be calm and unfazed.

Yet in his heart, there was already a storm raging.

One could even say that the little bit of reverence he had for Nascent Soul Cultivators... was completely shattered by the Medicine King’s plea for mercy.

Completely gone.

What’s the so-called Nascent Soul Ancestor?

What’s the so-called Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?

In front of those in higher positions, aren’t they the same as ants?

Do they not also beg for mercy?

In a daze, Ji Yuan felt his mental state had been elevated somewhat.

At least the next time he faced a Nascent Soul Cultivator alone, he wouldn’t be so afraid.

Because these so-called Nascent Soul Great Cultivators are no different from ordinary cultivators, each with three titles.

Senior, fellow daoist, and... ant.

"Get out of the way."

Hua Yaoyue shook the spear, the tip gently tapping on the Medicine King’s face, making a "slap, slap" sound.

But the Medicine King, instead of being angry, hurriedly stood up with his head bowed.

"Yes, yes, yes, this junior will leave at once."

After rising from beside the Fountain of Eternal Youth, he didn’t dare to use magic, walking quickly to the side. Only after retreating thirty feet did he stop.

He didn’t even dare to look back, only daring to turn his back on the Fountain of Eternal Youth he had guarded for most of his life.

He now had one feeling in his heart... the beautiful wife he’d guarded his whole life without daring to touch was about to be completely ruined by someone else, and yet he did not dare to resist in the slightest.

"Hey."

Hua Yaoyue called out without turning her head.

The Medicine King quickly turned around and bowed. "This junior is here."

"You smell too bad, get farther away." Hua Yaoyue waved her hand.

The Medicine King took a deep breath, "... Yes."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Hua Yaoyue added, "By the way, right now, you’re the only Nascent Soul Cultivator who knows I’ve come to the Cangluo Continent. If others find out, I’ll kill you."

"But, but what if it wasn’t me who leaked it?"

The Medicine King felt like crying without tears.

"I’ll kill you anyway."

Having power makes you so straightforward.

"Yes."

The Medicine King bowed again, then turned into Escape Light and left the place.

Who knows where he went.

After he left, Hua Yaoyue put away the silver spear and nodded to Ji Yuan, "Alright, start condensing your sword embryo."

...Wait, Master, is it really that simple?

Simple to the point that Ji Yuan almost couldn’t believe it.

If someone asked him how to come to the Fountain of Eternal Youth to condense a sword embryo, he would definitely say, "It’s simple, coming to the Fountain of Eternal Youth to condense a sword embryo only requires three steps."

"First, arrive at the Fountain of Eternal Youth."

"Second, tell the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley to leave."

"Third, sit down and condense the sword embryo."

Ji Yuan had now completed the first two steps, so he sat beside the Fountain of Eternal Youth, carefully examining the renowned spring.

The spring water was no longer clear but displayed a strange green.

Or rather, a vibrantly alive green.
