Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 689: Chapter 299: My Nascent Soul Father and My Nascent Soul Mother

"May I ask if you are a local adept from Shang Dong?"

Ji Yuan looked at the effeminate man in the blue robe before him, glaring: "How do you know that?"

Though outwardly fierce, Ji Yuan was actually ready to make a move, and he saw a trace of an old acquaintance in this person.

Hu Li.

That cunning demon cultivator, slippery as an eel, always escaping faster than anyone when danger approached.

He was equally effeminate, but his looks were better than this demon cultivator before him.

...Given his sly nature, he managed to survive in Shang Dong’s environment before, not to mention now. It’s uncertain if there will be another chance to meet him.

"Because friend, the way you walk with such a domineering stride, couldn’t possibly belong to someone from Shangxi."

The demon cultivator in blue robe bowed with a smile.

"Are you mocking me?"

Ji Yuan reached forward with his right hand, and a giant bone claw appeared out of thin air, seemingly about to grasp and crush the demon cultivator.

But it was just for show; if he really intended to strike, Ji Yuan would have employed the body cultivator’s methods to smash the opponent with one punch.

The blue-robed demon cultivator hurriedly transformed into a black smoke, fleeing, and appeared in the distance, quickly pleading: "I had no such intention, please forgive me, dear friend."

"Then what do you mean!"

Holding the Yin Claw, Ji Yuan sneered at him: "Could it be you look down upon me, Qiu Qianhai?!"

"I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. We just came over from Shangxi and are unfamiliar with the situation in Shang Dong. We wanted to find a local friend from Shang Dong to guide us."

"Ha."

Ji Yuan sneered: "Been here for so long, how could you not have someone to guide you? You’re just hoping to recruit me because I seem alone."

"Speak up, what’s your background? Hurry and report your name!"

The smile on the blue-robed demon cultivator’s face stiffened; he didn’t expect this seemingly reckless Qiu Qianhai to actually be meticulous. As such, he became more serious in his tone, replying:

"Since you understand my intention and are willing to listen, you must have thought about it too."

"I won’t hide it from you, we are under the command of the White Bone Sect, affiliated with the Three Sacred Sects from Shangxi, currently stationed in the nearby Hundred-Year Town. If you’re interested, you can come with me to have a look."

"By the way, my name is Luo Ma."

...Luo Ma? Fall off a horse?

Friend, your name is quite inauspicious.

"White Bone Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but be moved, although he displayed some appropriate surprise on his face.

White Bone Sect, one of the Three Demon Sects in Shangxi, holds a position even higher in Shangxi than the Six Immortal Sects in Shang Dong.

Of course, Shangxi has more than just the Three Demon Sects; these three are simply the largest demon sect forces. Encountering this White Bone Sect cultivator now...counts as some luck.

However, this also explained why Wang Luo, a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator from Corpse Transporting Mountain, was assassinated with one strike.

Because the opponent was from an equally prominent background.

"Exactly."

Luo Ma instinctively leaned back slightly, exposing his chin.

In the eyes of Shangxi’s demon cultivators, the White Bone Sect is a Holy Land, but isn’t it in the eyes of Shang Dong’s demon cultivators?

No, no, it’s even more of a Holy Land.

Therefore, as soon as these three words are mentioned, there’s no doubt the demon cultivators from Shang Dong will be tempted, just like...now.

"In that case, I’ll follow you to have a look."

In truth, Ji Yuan was already interested when Luo Ma mentioned Hundred-Year Town, as it’s the nearest demon gathering point.

That’s why it’s not surprising for this fellow to appear here.

"Friend Qiu, please follow me."

Having said this, Luo Ma was the first to fly forward, with Ji Yuan hastily following.

Several hours later, Ji Yuan’s vision was filled with a small riverside town overflowing with demonic qi; the fish and shrimp in the river were dead, and the water had become dark.

No one knows what these demons have done, causing the surrounding forest to show signs of wilting.

"Now this is the true atmosphere of Demon Dao."

Ji Yuan praised insincerely.

"Heh, friend Qiu hasn’t seen it in his early years, right? Those hypocrites of the righteous path, they use all kinds of demon methods in secret but still call us Demon Dao."

Luo Ma mocked: "Friend Qiu might not know, a while ago we killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Medicine King Valley, and guess what we discovered in his storage bag."

"What?"

Ji Yuan asked curiously.

"A human heart, extracted from a living person, along with some tortured corpses. Medicine King Valley claims to be of the righteous path, but they were using living people to perform alchemy, is this righteousness?"

Luo Ma sneered further.

This inevitably reminded Ji Yuan of his experience buying corpses near Water Dragon Sect, corpses also referred to as immortal material. According to Hu Li, the business was orchestrated by a Core Formation cultivator from Water Dragon Sect, although who it was remains unknown.

"We’re here, dear friend Qiu, please follow me."

Such mid-journey integrations into factions have been done countless times by Ji Yuan, starting from the Great Love Sect, to meeting Jiang Hong at the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, and a year ago visiting the Demon Cave.

Every time, the pattern was quite similar.

In short, traveling the martial world with many identities is no burden.

It’s the same now.

Following Luo Ma, Ji Yuan naturally encountered the fake pill realm demon cultivator named "Empty Soul Wanderer" here. No one knew what demon skill he practiced, making him appear as though drained of all yang energy, with his face unnaturally pale and somewhat wooden in movement.
