Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 682: Chapter 297: Nascent Soul Monsters of the Righteous and Demonic Paths

Another group of cultivators from the Six Immortal Sects arrived, led by a Core Formation cultivator.

The Ice and Fire Elder personally appeared to welcome them.

After he opened the array and invited the Water Dragon Sect’s flying boat into the great hall, everyone withdrew their gaze.

"I wonder which Uncle is leading this time."

Ji Yuan asked Li Changhe beside him.

"Celestial Chef Uncle, with a rather good temperament, so you can rest assured."

Li Changhe explained.

"That’s good."

Upon hearing this name, Ji Yuan felt at ease.

This Celestial Chef Zhenren is a nimble and fat person, just like Hua Yaoyue loves wine, this Celestial Chef loves to eat.

He even crafted his lifebound magical treasure into a pot.

It wasn’t long after the Water Dragon Sect’s flying boat arrived.

A carriage pulled by a Tier Three Demon Beast, the Green Feather Eagle, flew in from the north, eventually stopping above the Alchemy Square.

"Spirit Control Sect has people here too."

Li Changhe sent a transmission, saying: "It seems the changes in the world are unfolding faster than I expected."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Yuan knew some things were only passed down within these Nascent Soul families, and outsiders were mostly unaware.

"Each family is shifting to the markets, which indicates that the Demon Dao’s attack on the Immortal Sects is far fiercer than we anticipated. I just don’t know which Immortal Sect will be breached first."

When Li Changhe said this, his voice was noticeably low.

If the Water Dragon Sect is breached, then the Li Family will undoubtedly suffer terribly.

After all... under heavy pressure, how could any remain untouched?

"I just hope it’s not our Water Dragon Sect."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then sent a transmission, asking: "If our Water Dragon Sect were really breached, what then? Our sect must have some other plans, right?"

Li Changhe pondered for a while upon hearing this question.

"Each sect should have its own retreat, but I don’t know. Such matters that concern the entire sect’s lifeline, my father doesn’t tell me."

"Understood."

Ji Yuan planned to ask Hua Yaoyue the next time he returned.

As they spoke, Ji Yuan suddenly took out a communication talisman from his storage bag.

"Brother Ji, where are you? I’m here!"

Liu Yuan’s voice, tinged with a hint of joy, came through.

"Liu Yuan is here?!"

Li Changhe’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Ji Yuan and Liu Yuan were friends, naturally, he was one too.

After all, in Li Changhe’s view, anyone Ji Yuan considered a friend must have a reliable nature.

"East city wall, come quickly, been waiting for you for a while."

Ji Yuan smiled as he finished speaking, seeing a bright white sword light cutting across the sky above the Alchemy Square.

It finally landed in front of him, transforming into the figure of a swordsman in a green robe.

Before the newcomer could speak, he had already tossed a jug of spirit wine his way.

Liu Yuan caught it with one hand, brushed off the seal, and laughed heartily, "Indeed, only Brother Ji knows me well. I’ve been craving a sip of this for a long time."

Having said that, he lifted the jug and downed half of it in one gulp, satisfied, he let out a wine burp and then greeted Li Changhe.

"Brother Li is here too. It looks like we finally have some company."

"Previously in the sect, all familiar friends had gone out, making it difficult to find someone to talk to."

With that, he sat down next to the two of them.

"Brother Liu, how is the situation at the sect now?"

Li Changhe had inquired about a lot of news, but it was all second-hand.

And even if it was told, it certainly wouldn’t be as accurate as what Liu Yuan said.

Liu Yuan also pondered for a moment upon hearing the question, then said:

"The fighting is intense. Every two or three days, there’s basically an attack from the Demon Dao. I heard before I left that the elders are discussing whether to reduce the array’s coverage."

Ji Yuan internally acknowledged, "Just as expected."

At the same time, he felt fortunate that Hua Yaoyue had moved his Wuyou Island in advance.

"No Nascent Soul cultivators involved, right?"

"No, only Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators."

Liu Yuan continued as if recalling something, "Moreover, there are spies in the sect who defected to the Demon Dao."

"What, still?"

Li Changhe seemed surprised to hear this.

"Weren’t there thorough investigations before, how are there still some?"

"It was said they defected recently and haven’t contacted the Demon Dao yet. They risked their lives to infiltrate the location of the array hub of the Sect Protection Array, intending to shut it down to let the Demon Dao in."

Liu Yuan’s eyes turned solemn as he said this.

"Such ingrates, others would rather die than surrender, but they would rather surrender than die."

"It’s actually quite normal, you find all kinds of birds in a big forest."

Li Changhe seemed to take it lightly.

"That’s roughly how it is at the sect. Reducing the array’s coverage, unless Nascent Soul cultivators act, they probably can’t break through our Sect Protection Array. How about your situation?"

Liu Yuan followed up with a question.

Then Ji Yuan and Li Changhe roughly explained the situation of the Alchemy Square.

Liu Yuan occasionally asked a few questions.

After all was said and done, Ji Yuan looked at him and suddenly asked, "Did you join a demon hunting squad?"

"How did you know? I haven’t even mentioned it yet."

Liu Yuan said with some surprise.

"So it’s you."

Li Changhe also guessed it.

"Be careful, always put safety first, everything else is secondary."

Li Changhe initially felt it was a pity that Ji Yuan didn’t join the demon hunting squad.

But after witnessing the current situation, he felt Ji Yuan’s choice was correct.

"Don’t worry, at least I came back from Shang Mountain."

"..."

The Alchemy Square seemed to return to calm after that.

With more Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Six Immortal Sects arriving, Ji Yuan’s duty rotation changed from once a month to once every month and a half.
