Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 846 - 345: Celebrate the Success of the Elixir! [Ten Thousand Words Seeking Monthly Votes]

"I’m not sure, but I can definitely say it has something to do with that chaos a long time ago, though I don’t know the exact details."

Mu Xueyao said with a bitter smile, "I don’t expect revenge against the Black and White Divine Hall, I just hope one day I can kill those sand thieves who murdered my parents."

"Hmm..."

Ji Yuan pondered, "To be cautious, it’s better to wait until after Nascent Soul Formation, otherwise you might kill them, but you’ll have a hard time escaping."

"Yes."

Mu Xueyao said forthrightly, "I think so too, that’s why Nascent Soul Formation is my lifelong dream, I must achieve it to avenge my parents personally!"

It was only at this moment that Ji Yuan felt Mu Xueyao was genuine, at least her current display was her true feelings.

Of course, her feelings towards him were somewhat real too.

But Ji Yuan believed that in her fondness for him, his strength was a significant factor.

As for appearances, in the Cultivation Realm, believing in looks might lead to a fast death.

"When that time comes, if I’m still alive, just send a message to let me know."

"Brother Ji, you’ll definitely be alive!"

Mu Xueyao nodded vigorously.

Ji Yuan smiled, then raised his right hand, pointing his finger towards Mu Xueyao’s glabella, a gray light emanating and entering it.

Mu Xueyao shivered, then, after realizing its nature, her eyes instantly lit up.

Because she realized that the divine soul Ji Yuan returned not only didn’t harm her but also enhanced her divine soul.

"Brother Ji, this is..."

Ji Yuan smiled, he too discovered this for the first time.

After storing Mu Xueyao’s divine soul, he placed it in his mind field, naturally inside the Soul Suppressing Bell.

Over time, he found out that the Soul Suppressing Bell not only enhanced his divine soul but also slightly enhanced Mu Xueyao’s.

Or perhaps it was the effect of the Meditation Room?

But anyway, enhancement is good, having kept someone’s divine soul for so long, it’s only fair to offer some compensation.

"Lucky to have acquired some good stuff, just used it for you."

Ji Yuan said and made a gesture to keep silent.

"Shh."

"Alright!"

After finishing the talk, Mu Xueyao left and returned to her Cave Mansion.

Ji Yuan finally had some free time to study the Sword Manual for the Core Formation Stage.

The main task was to refine nine complete Flying Swords first.

Just having the sword embryos won’t suffice.

But to refine the Flying Swords, he lacked Purple Sky Stones, so upgrading the Celestial Craft Square was necessary.

For upgrading the Celestial Craft Square, there was currently a shortage of one Ice Flame Lotus and two Nine Radiance Stones.

Regarding the Ice Flame Lotus, there wasn’t any news, but the Nine Radiance Stones, he might ask Wen Jiu from the Black and White Divine Hall.

If he has a way, that’s best; if not, he’d have to find opportunities to see if he could get a deal from some Core Formation Cultivators of the Black and White Divine Hall.

Besides, the most scarce Void Nether Stone.

A couple of days ago during the celebration, Mu Xueyao informed Ji Yuan that she had contacted the Zhou Family from the Bone Nightmare Sect.

If wishing to trade now, she could arrange a meeting with the Zhou Family in West Border City.

This item was essential for Ji Yuan to refine his Lifebound Magical Treasure, so he naturally encouraged her to contact them, hoping to meet someone from the Zhou family soon.

Besides this, Liu Yuan also proposed to introduce some Core Formation Cultivators to Ji Yuan.

They were all friends of his in West Border City, decent people.

"Looks like I’ll be busy for the time being."

Ji Yuan muttered to himself.

He planned to meet Liu Yuan’s friends first, to expand his social circle.

Moreover, Liu Yuan had long wanted to leave, if it weren’t for planning to protect him during Core Formation, he might have already wandered elsewhere.

As for Wen Jiu, it depended on when he’d get in touch.

Meeting the Zhou Family... Ji Yuan planned to save this for last, so in case anything unexpected happened, he could handle it timely.

However, to Ji Yuan’s surprise, before he even went out, he received a message from Wen Jiu.

He first congratulated Ji Yuan, then asked if he was done with his tasks, if so, they should meet somewhere.

Ji Yuan had no objection.

Wen Jiu selected the location, Ji Yuan chose the time.

Two days later.

In the east of West Border City, in a restaurant named Hidden Immortal Pavilion, Ji Yuan met Wen Jiu.

Meeting this Core Formation Cultivator of the Black and White Divine Hall again, he no longer had that superior demeanor.

Wearing casual attire, with a gentle smile, he spoke with enthusiasm.

"Come, I haven’t formally congratulated Brother Li, it was my poor judgment that day not realizing Brother Li’s true self, please don’t hold it against me."

Wen Jiu approached, laughing.

Ji Yuan first cupped his hands, then naturally continued the conversation without addressing him as ’Dao friend’ anymore.

"Brother Wen, you’re too kind."

"I have this nature, not fond of being the first, so I am like this, please forgive me, Brother Wen."

"Brother Li, you’re being too polite, we’re like brothers immediately upon meeting, no need for such words."

Wen Jiu said and gestured for Ji Yuan towards the chief seat, and after a courteous exchange, Ji Yuan, being the guest, took that seat.

"This Hidden Immortal Pavilion, Brother Li probably hasn’t been here before, right?"

"Oh, I’m not a native of West Border City, I’ve been here for a short time, so I haven’t been here before."

Ji Yuan discreetly revealed a bit of his identity.

"Then today, Brother Li is in for a treat. This Hidden Immortal Pavilion has a delicacy... you’ll know after you try it."

Wen Jiu poured spirit wine for Ji Yuan, then continued casually, "I wonder where Brother Li is from; your accent seems a bit different indeed."

"From the east."

Ji Yuan smiled without elaborating.

This was the Land of the Far West, Ji Yuan didn’t know much about it. He decided to say he came from the Land of the Far East, and that was fine.

"The east is a wonderful place; I’ve always wanted to travel there. But, unfortunately, I’m tied to my duties at the Black and White Divine Hall, can’t leave."

Wen Jiu shook his head and sighed.

Ji Yuan chuckled and said, "Brother Wen, you’re too much; Black and White Divine Hall, many people long to join but never have the opportunity."

"Does Brother Li have any thoughts on that? If so, I could introduce you."

Wen Jiu said casually.
