Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 643: Chapter 284: Golden Core Stage Core Building – [Grotto Heaven]

Hua Yaoyue could no longer hear the sorrowful voice of Apothecary Wang.

Because by the time Apothecary Wang made his sorrowful sound, she had already returned to the Water Dragon Sect with Ji Yuan.

As they passed Wuyou Island, Hua Yaoyue didn’t say a word; she casually tossed Ji Yuan down and returned directly to Wan You Island.

Ji Yuan didn’t call for his flying boat. He fell directly down like a meteor from the sky, crashing into Wuyou Island.

Upon landing, a roaring sound erupted, and the entire island trembled.

He stood up from the deep crater with no injuries at all.

’After reaching the Peak of Foundation Establishment, indeed my physique has strengthened by several levels. At this stage, spells from the early Foundation Establishment Stage should feel like nothing.’

’It’s just a pity that entering the second layer of "Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill," the Bone Forging Realm, isn’t that easy; otherwise, my physique could contend with Golden Core experts.’

After Ji Yuan emerged, he casually filled the pit before sitting cross-legged atop a nearby mountain and once again introspected himself.

Now, his Foundation Establishment Stage is already at its peak.

The liquid Spiritual Qi could fill his entire Dantian.

He had just broken through, so his state hadn’t reached its peak yet, leaving some gaps in his Dantian.

Yet, even if it’s filled, it’s only temporary, for Ji Yuan would undoubtedly continue to consume Tri-colored Spirit Eggs, compressing the Spirit Liquid within his Dantian, allowing for more storage.

Additionally, there are the embryos of his nine Lifebound Flying Swords, now frozen by ice-attributed spiritual energy, yet still usable at will, easily stored in or retrieved from his Dantian.

’Never mind, let’s fill the Dantian first.’

Thinking this, Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion with a step and then onto the underground Spirit Vein, starting to greedily absorb the surrounding spirit stones.

With this, when Ji Yuan opened his eyes again, twenty days had passed.

In these twenty days, he didn’t know how many Mid-grade Spirit Stones he had absorbed, finally filling the Dantian completely.

’Next, I just need to take one Tri-colored Spirit Egg daily, slowly absorbing it to purify the Dantian.’

Ji Yuan was thinking of getting up and leaving, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed that the entire panel in his mind refreshed.

Soon after, the entire building panel started to glow in golden light.

"What is this..."

Ji Yuan’s eyes widened unconsciously.

The last time the panel had such an anomaly was when his cultivation reached the peak of Qi Cultivation. The panel had similarly changed, presenting the core building of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Also known as the Meditation Room, it greatly helped Ji Yuan.

But now?

His cultivation reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, Spiritual Qi filled the Dantian again, so should the core building for the Golden Core Stage appear?

In fact, regarding this core building, Ji Yuan had already gleaned from the panel’s subtle hints, if correct, then the core building for the Golden Core Stage would be called... Grotto Heaven!

As if responding to his thoughts.

The other buildings on the panel retreated to make space as a golden building gradually emerged in the center of the panel.

"It’s solidifying...!"

Ji Yuan’s eyes widened unconsciously, he even held his breath instinctively.

He quietly watched this newly emerging building.

As he vaguely saw, his first impression was this building somewhat resembled a Cave Mansion, at least in appearance.

’But why is there a bad premonition?’

Ji Yuan inexplicably felt a bit flustered.

But revealing a golden building should be a good thing, right? Why feel uneasy?

In a moment of confusion, Ji Yuan suddenly recalled something.

A string of mysterious numbers appeared in his mind.

"51 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 314 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 3 Broken Spirit."

Remembering this sequence of numbers, Ji Yuan stood up sharply from the ground.

"Not good!!!"

He couldn’t help but exclaim.

He finally realized where this ominous feeling came from... The last time, when the core building first appeared, he exhausted all his spirit stones to open the Meditation Room!

Even the last 3 pieces of Broken Spirit weren’t spared by the panel.

So this time?

Before Ji Yuan could think more, he noticed the once materializing, solidifying golden building abruptly stopped.

Just at the moment of almost appearing.

As if time froze—an inch short!

"Damn panel."

Ji Yuan cursed inwardly.

Soon, a line of text emerged on the panel, a line that left Ji Yuan with mixed feelings.

[The host has advanced to the Peak of Foundation Establishment with Pseudo Spirit Root, and the "Spirit Field" has risen to Level 4, obtaining the first "Pill Essence Fruit."]

[There is hope for the host to form a core, unlocking the core building "Grotto Heaven" of the Golden Core Stage (Lifebound Magical Treasure).]

It’s here, it’s here!

The core building of the Golden Core Stage is indeed called "Grotto Heaven," and it appears in the form of a Lifebound Magical Treasure as the core building.

From the previous sentence, to unlock this core building, the "Spirit Field" must first reach Level 4 and harvest a Pill Essence Fruit.

It seems I stumbled upon the right path by chance.

Since that’s the case, why hesitate?

Involving a Lifebound Magical Treasure, how can one not activate it?

Ji Yuan chose to activate it with trepidation.

Then a line of text reappeared on the panel... it has come, it has come!

[Will you spend "83 Upper-grade Spirit Stones, 98,373 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 888 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 98 Broken Spirit" to unlock Grotto Heaven?]

The moment Ji Yuan saw this long series of numbers.
