Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 745: Chapter 317: A Great Harvest!

A black-robed Ji Yuan had already exerted his full power, thus revealing his original appearance.

Extraordinarily handsome.

With a lift of his hand, three flying sword embryos emerged, breaking open the previously cramped cave, allowing him to stand naturally.

Opposite him, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal did the same. With the cave opened, he no longer had to curl up in the narrow space, his face covered in grime.

Standing up, he made a cleansing gesture with one hand.

Practicing the golden method, a flash of golden light passed over him, making his entire body clean and tidy again.

Only his face became strangely pale due to excessive depletion.

Ji Yuan’s punch even triggered his old injuries.

"So, truly today you intend to wipe me out, fellow Daoist?"

"I have a celestial opportunity. If you spare me, I will share it with you!"

Hundred Insects Old Immortal asked in a deep voice.

Also adjusting his breath, Ji Yuan raised his hand, and the celestial poison needle flew out from the red-eyed iron mouse’s rear and hovered beside him.

In his right hand, he held the rolled-up magical treasure, the Red Wave Whip.

The remaining three flying sword embryos hovered to his right.

Behind him, a banner was planted.

It was the Yin Ghost Banner, untouched for a long time, with Yin energy swirling around it. Two Yin Ghosts occasionally poked their heads out, letting out wild howls.

"If I said I wouldn’t kill you, would you believe me?"

Ji Yuan replied solemnly, "As for the opportunity, once I kill you, it’s all mine!"

Hundred Insects Old Immortal listened and suddenly laughed, a sound like stifled laughter.

"Indeed, someone like you, an old demon, how could you let a tiger return to its lair? If I were you, I wouldn’t let me go either."

"...Before I die, may I know your name?"

Finished listening, Ji Yuan released his right hand, letting the Red Wave Whip drop to the ground.

"No grand name, just Qiu Qianhai."

"Qiu Qianhai? I’ve heard of it, a widely known name. Dying at your hand... isn’t too shameful."

Hundred Insects Old Immortal finished speaking, seemingly sighed at the sky.

But soon, countless dense poisonous insects flew out from behind him towards Ji Yuan.

"Hmph."

Ji Yuan sneered and activated an iron box in front of him. Instantly, the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array descended and exploded.

Along with it, Ji Yuan threw out ten celestial thunder seeds.

The explosion sounds echoed loudly.

The poisonous insects were almost instantly obliterated by the explosive force of the Star Dust Illusionary Killing Array, reduced to ashes.

As for Hundred Insects Old Immortal, he planned to escape amid the chaos.

But who could have guessed Ji Yuan could throw out so many celestial thunder seeds at once?

Casting spells takes time, using magical treasures also requires time, and activating them causes Spiritual Qi fluctuations.

But celestial thunder seeds are different; once thrown, they explode.

Their power is immense.

Especially in this already cramped cave.

After the explosion, the low-grade spiritual artifact level Celestial Craft Square in front of Ji Yuan was destroyed, tossing him into the air, until he finally collided with the stone wall behind him.

He felt his throat sweeten, but quickly suppressed it.

The physique at the Bone Forging Realm can withstand and endure.

Even the ringing in his ears, he healed instantly by circulating his Blood Qi.

He didn’t forget to scan with his Divine Sense, immediately checking the situation inside the cave thoroughly.

To his surprise, despite the explosion’s impact, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal was not killed.

But little difference exists between that and actually dying.

Earlier, Ji Yuan injured him and broke his many techniques, now this cave hit...

It’s unknown what method he used; he protected his body but failed to guard his legs.

Therefore, below his knees, his legs were in ruins, visible as "shreds" of flesh.

His spirit robe was damaged, and he seemed stunned by the explosion.

He only knew to grab onto the Mouse Demon’s remains and crawl forward.

His whole head was bloody, and he was covered in dust, making him look... somewhat pitiful.

But Ji Yuan had no sympathy.

He activated the celestial poison needle again, which flew with a green glow and pierced through Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s temple.

Left entry, right exit.

Finally, Ji Yuan recited a few words, summoning the Thousand Souls Banner and captured his Yin Soul inside.

Just as he contemplated storing the corpse, his keen ears picked up movement.

...Not good, it’s going to collapse!

Without a word, Ji Yuan waved his hand, putting the remains of the Mouse Demon and Hundred Insects Old Immortal into the storage bag, then frantically began to fly towards the surface along the cave path.

In such deep underground areas, if it collapsed entirely...

Ji Yuan felt that not to mention the Body Cultivator’s second-tier Bone Forging Realm, even reaching the third-tier Golden Body Mystic Bone, he would be crushed to death.

"..."

One day later.

Midnight.

Within a waterfall canyon’s deep pool, initially calm, huge waves soon surged.

Then, two massive black shadows appeared from the pool’s depths, along with a surge of crimson blood.

"Splash—"

A fierce ice-blue jiao dragon head burst through the water’s surface, scattering countless splashes.

Then the Frost Serpent moved a few times, cleansing the blood off its body, and growled softly before crawling out of the deep pool.
