Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 809 - 336: Miracle Treasure – Zhu Dian [Monthly Ticket Request]_2

If it really were this way, then why would even this seal fall into his hands?

Such luck seemed almost too good to be true.

Or perhaps this ancestral land was indeed left behind by the ancestors of the Merfolk Race. But if that were the case... just how powerful must the ancestor of the Merfolk Race have been?

As this thought flashed through Ji Yuan’s mind, he flung the thumb-sized seal provided by Yu Yuan, allowing it to land snugly into the notch above the stone door.

The moment it fit perfectly.

A faint white light circled the stone door once, finally ending with a soft "bang".

The door... opened.

The stone door opened on its own, and Ji Yuan quickly stepped back a few paces, making way.

He looked up to observe the scene inside the stone door that had come into view.

The stones inside were slightly different, emitting a gentle white glow similar to mica stone.

The stone chamber was not large, roughly three to four square meters, and in the center of the chamber was a small stone basin, even smaller, about a handful in size.

But at the moment, the small basin was filled with translucent Spirit Liquid, exuding a pure Blood Qi that Ji Yuan could clearly sense even from a distance.

And not just that.

At the exact moment the stone door opened, it seemed to react to some kind of vibration.

The stone basin’s top dropped a droplet of Spirit Liquid.

Though it was in seawater, the Spirit Liquid felt as if it were an otherworldly substance, seemingly imperceptible.

When it dripped into the stone basin.

Ji Yuan seemed to hear a "drip" sound.

With the drop of this Spirit Liquid, the already full basin began to overflow.

For who knows how many years, the Spirit Liquid that seeped onto the ground seemed to form a water net, flowing out from under the door crack.

Presumably, that Tier Three Demon Beast obtained this fortune, which is why its physique was so strong.

If it weren’t for the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, Ji Yuan would have found it not so simple to resolve this matter.

Seeing the Spirit Liquid about to fall again, Ji Yuan quickly and deftly took a Jade Bottle from his Storage Bag, isolating the seawater while capturing every bit of the overflowing Spirit Liquid.

This is valuable stuff; it couldn’t be wasted!

After securing the overflowing Spirit Liquid, Ji Yuan stepped forward into the stone chamber.

First, he looked up to trace the source of the Spirit Liquid... it appeared to seep from the stones, similar to stalactites.

The Spirit Liquid also seeped out from such areas.

He then pulled out another slightly larger Jade Bottle, using Mana as a guide, to collect all the Spirit Liquid in the stone basin.

Not only did he need this, but it was also the recompense given by the Merfolk Race.

Having helped them reclaim their ancestral land, as long as they manage it with care and don’t produce another "talented" leader like Yu Yuan, they should have a steady supply of Spirit Liquid.

"Hmm?"

Once all the Spirit Liquid was collected, Ji Yuan noticed a thin, salve-like substance at the bottom of the basin.

He reached out to gather a bit... Spirit Liquid in a balm form.

"This is real treasure!"

So Ji Yuan set his sights on those "stalactite" columns above.

After a while.

Ji Yuan looked at the now clean stone basin in front of him, as well as the neatly cleaned stone columns above and felt very satisfied.

Over the past couple of years, he had been consuming the Profound Sun Blood Amber from the Pigsty continuously, and occasionally gnawing on the endless Spirit Pig meat in his Storage Bag.

Along with the Pile Skills contained within the Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Skill he practiced, his physical prowess naturally increased. With so much Spirit Liquid and balm now in hand...

If consumed and refined at once, breaking through to the Mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm was certainly within reach.

With such good things in hand, naturally, he should proceed to see what was happening elsewhere.

As for removing stones, it was too difficult and not something to rush.

Thus, after exiting the stone chamber, Ji Yuan collected the seal from above the stone door and left.

The stone door closed again, and he returned to where he had discovered the previous mark.

This mark had just recently emerged from the water.

Now, soaked by seawater, it appeared even clearer, with even the fine scales on the strange serpent visible.

"Such lifelike carvings."

Ji Yuan glanced a few times, then channeled Mana to turn into threads, injecting them into the mark.

With the infusion of Mana, a miraculous scene...

Well, nothing happened.

The Spiritual Qi vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Mana is useless? Does it require brute force to break the door?"

Ji Yuan pondered, placing his hands on the stone wall, then with a low shout, exerted himself.

Yet, there was not the slightest movement.

It was like trying to move an entire mountain, without a single tremor.

The stone wall seemed to be one with the stone mountain.

What about using even greater force?

Ji Yuan dared not use his Flying Sword embryo, fearing an accident, nor heavy Spiritual Artifacts like pressure hammers. After contemplating, he eventually opted for the long-unused Blood Remnant Saber.

This Mid-grade Spiritual Artifact he acquired back during his Qi Cultivation days had been with him for a long time.

Back then, wielding this Spiritual Artifact was exceedingly difficult, but now... it was trivial.

As Mana flowed in, Ji Yuan wielded the Blood Remnant Saber, making a large sweep before swinging it heavily onto the stone wall.

If it were an ordinary stone wall, this strike might not split mountains and stones, but at least it would create a deep groove on it.
