Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 750: Chapter 318: Strange Insect "Elixir of Immortality"! (Double-Length, Please Vote)

And before secluding himself, the first thing to do was naturally to place these numerous structures.

It’s impossible to forget about collecting his welfare.

Thus, Ji Yuan first closed the buildings on the overseas isolated island with a thought, as for the output from the Corpse Puppet... there’s not much accumulated, he’ll check it out later. With the array in place, there’s no worry about it being stolen.

In the end, Ji Yuan found a pool inside this Hundred Insects Cave and activated the [Fish Pond].

He then dug out a cave himself, tossed a few Spirit Pig corpses inside, and activated the [Pigsty].

[Wine Cellar] was even simpler.

He also carved out a few caves at the deepest part of the Hundred Insects Cave, one as a [Chaotic Burial Mound] to place Celestial Silkworm Zhenren for healing and recovery.

Another to serve as a [Spirit Field], to harvest his welfare.

The last was to store the [Beehive]; previously, too much was killed by those blazing marching ants, it’s necessary to restore it somewhat.

After completing these tasks, he brought out the Corpse Puppet Yin Tongzi to help collect the welfare.

As for Tu Yue, still in the Mountain of Mind and Heart, managed to tidy up the Spirit Stone daily.

With all these tasks done, Ji Yuan then began to inspect the gains from this journey.

Of course, the first thing he took out was the lifebound magical treasure of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, which he had preliminarily refined during his patrol of Profound Crystal Mountain.

The treasure mirror was called "Golden Light Mirror".

The name was simple, and its usage was simple too; it could attack and defend, Ji Yuan had experienced it, and the effects were excellent and to his liking.

Its utility to him was at least greater than the Celestial Net and Red Wave Whip.

After all, those two magical treasures, to be honest, were not very common.

Moreover, the Golden Light Mirror has a natural utility which is its inherent restraining effect against demonic cultivators; though not strong, it definitely exists.

"Golden Light Mirror... if divided by cultivation techniques, the Hundred Insects Old Immortal should be considered righteous, but his behavior is somewhat demonic."

Ji Yuan rubbed the dog head at the back of the Golden Light Mirror, pondering over future confrontations.

Especially when facing demon cultivators, he could pull out this mirror and shout "Take this, Demon Revealing Mirror," then shoot a golden ray from it.

"Not bad, not bad, worth a thorough refinement."

Ji Yuan put away the Golden Light Mirror and glanced at the Storage Bag.

Considering the Mountain of Mind and Heart, he already had five magical treasures just himself; it’s good, but the consumption when fighting is indeed substantial.

Like this battle with the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, Ji Yuan consumed three drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

Though this was nothing regarding his reserve of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk.

But if it were someone else... at the peak of Foundation Establishment, being able to smoothly control one magical treasure was already considered quite rare.

"No wonder the Hundred Insects Old Immortal thought I was a Core Formation Cultivator before dying."

Ji Yuan chuckled inwardly, a Talisman Treasure appeared in his hand.

This was a compensation given by the last unnamed cultivator, and the Talisman Treasure was named "Calming Sea Pearl", an earth-attribute Treasure Pearl, which upon activation, could suppress enemies effectively.

Especially against Water Cultivators, it has an inherent restraining effect.

Not bad, taking it in.

Just right to compensate for the loss of the Talisman Treasure Giant Deer Sword.

Afterward, Ji Yuan took out the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s Storage Bag, which counted as the biggest gain from this trip.

With his Divine Sense sweeping over, inside there were a total of 18 corpses of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

There were demon cultivators, as well as cultivators from Joy Palace and Medicine King Valley.

Ji Yuan even spotted a familiar fellow cultivator inside, presumably a companion from guarding the Artifact Refining Workshop at Wangcheng Mountain, though he couldn’t recall the specific name.

Seeing these corpses, Ji Yuan felt a slight sense of sentiment... if not for these structures, wouldn’t I also be among these corpses?

"Alas."

He sighed, walked to the innermost part of the Cave Mansion to the [Chaotic Burial Mound], and threw all these corpses inside, then instructed Yin Tongzi to bury them one by one.

With these added, it totaled 73 Foundation Establishment Stage corpses.

Getting closer to the goal of 100.

Foundation Establishment Stage corpses, how long did they cultivate? At least decades, at most a hundred years, and all ended up in my [Chaotic Burial Mound]... The path of cultivation is indeed perilous.

While Ji Yuan was pondering, he inevitably recalled the pursuit scene of the Hundred Insects Old Immortal underground.

He originally thought he could escape through speed underground, but he underestimated the depth of the cave and the speed of collapse.

Before he could escape far, the cave began to collapse.

Ji Yuan was unable to evade, directly buried.

But fortunately, he reacted swiftly, immediately shrinking into the Mountain of Mind and Heart.

If not for this magical treasure, he would have been buried there instantly.

Though heavily injured, he dared not recover there; instead, he took advantage of the cave still having gaps and maneuvered the Mountain of Mind and Heart to escape through those gaps.

Otherwise, if stayed too long with no way out, even with the magical treasure, he wouldn’t have managed to escape.

He maneuvered the magical treasure through the underground gaps for an unknown duration until he finally escaped to a spacious place.

He heard the sound of water like he had reached an underground dark river, intending to entrust the Mountain of Mind and Heart with the Frost Serpent to swim him out.

Unexpectedly, before swimming out for long, he ran into a group of Tier Two Peak Demon Beasts in the underground dark river.

He had no choice but to help fend them off.
