Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 984: Chapter 372: Divine Sense Breakthrough, Half-step Nascent Soul!

“Have I… discovered some incredible secret?”

The Demon Slave was not on her own island but was, as usual, on An Yue’s island.

This in itself was quite a normal occurrence, but the unusual aspect was… An Yue was not on her island.

Yet there was another unfamiliar Female Cultivator on her island.

This Female Cultivator also had an Early-stage Core Formation cultivation, but her attire and appearance…

She could be described as an extraordinary beauty.

She sat in front of a vanity table, dressed in a moon-white silk dress with a hem embroidered with fine silver patterns that glimmered faintly with Spiritual Light as she moved. She wore a light green gauze outer robe with ink-colored borders at the collar and cuffs, accentuating her slender shoulder and neck lines.

Her hair was simply pinned with a sheep fat Jade hairpin, with a few strands falling across her cheek, adding a touch of vivacity.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like paintings, with her eyes slightly raised as if containing light, and her lips were a pale pink without makeup. She sat there casually, yet the beauty she exuded firmly overshadowed the Demon Slave.

And the Demon Slave’s beauty… was quite renowned throughout the Land of the Far North.

Vaguely, some even referred to her as the Land of the Far North’s number one beauty.

But now, this Female Cultivator’s appearance and figure overshadowed the Demon Slave’s steadfastly, so what does that make her?

Jiyuan Continent’s number one beauty?

But why would such a Female Cultivator appear at the Bone Nightmare Sect and on An Yue’s island?

Yet the Demon Slave’s next words startled Ji Yuan into realization.

“Sister An, look at my makeup, how does it look? It’s the latest trend from Southern Border City, called ‘Flame Born Makeup.’ What do you think?”

…Sister An, this person is An Yue?!

This must be her true appearance.

Recalling the last meeting and the information she shared about the Rashamon Sea… it seems she’s no simple individual.

No wonder she chose her island the same way, opting for this desolate northern place.

But a Female Cultivator is just a Female Cultivator. Even in Core Formation, she still cares about things like makeup.

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense kept observing for a while, hoping to catch other information.

But found that the two were consistently discussing makeup and clothing related topics.

Ji Yuan, feeling bored, withdrew his Divine Sense.

Moments after he retracted his Divine Sense, a transmission echoed in the Demon Slave’s consciousness from An Yue.

“The Divine Sense has left.”

“That’s good. Palace Master, do you think a Nascent Soul Cultivator has set their sights on us?” The Demon Slave followed up with a transmission.

“Hmm, for my pure spirit Jewel to react, it must be a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Divine Sense probing.”

An Yue, though transmitting, had an extremely serious expression.

“What should we do now…”

For a moment, the Demon Slave also panicked slightly.

An Yue hesitated not one bit and blurted out one word.

“Run!”

“…”

“Magic Power Cultivation has temporarily reached its current limit. Physique Cultivation is almost there. Even if I need cultivation, I can enter the Martial God Tower anytime, anywhere. Even the Divine Sense had an unexpected breakthrough.”

In the Great Dream Island, Ji Yuan, seated in the Meditation Room, continued to consider his current situation.

“The remaining Canglan Sword and Child Sword can also be slowly refined.”

“In the short term, to further enhance strength can only rely on external objects. The so-called external objects are these structures.”

“Such as… the Meteor Cannon!”

Currently, Ji Yuan’s Spiritual Energy Cannon is still Level 2, capable of killing only Peak Golden Core Cultivators.

Peak Golden Core… Ji Yuan thought that if he exhausted all his means, it wasn’t impossible to kill one.

So, the Spiritual Energy Cannon is quite useless.

Upgrading the Level 2 Spiritual Energy Cannon leads to the Level 3 Meteor Cannon.

Thinking this, Ji Yuan summoned a panel for a look.

Meteor Cannon: lv3 (Non-upgradable)

Spirit Effect: Bright Sun Energy Gathering, Meteor Sinking Moon. Capable of killing Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones × 20,000; Tier Three Array Master; Tier Three Artifact Refiner; Energy Stones × 2; Bright Sun Meteorite Rock × 10 pounds; Tier Four Demon Pill × 1. (Not achieved)

…Capable of cannon-killing Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This is precisely what Ji Yuan lacks now. Although Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is useful, the realm enhancement it provides through external force can’t compare with a genuine Mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator.

But with the Meteor Cannon in hand, this predicament would be perfectly solved.

Just have a sip of the brew when the time comes, and once his realm enhances, the opponent won’t easily kill him.

All he needs to do is hold off the opponent for a moment, and then the Meteor Cannon can be activated.

By then, there’s a good chance of achieving a counter-kill!

However, the premise is to successfully upgrade the Meteor Cannon… As for Spirit Stones, that’s a minor issue. Ji Yuan is already a Tier Three Array Master and Tier Three Artifact Refiner; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare consider this.

The remaining ‘Energy Stones’ and ‘Bright Sun Meteorite Rock’ pose a problem.

Ji Yuan plans to first probe within the Bone Nightmare Sect… No, probing within the sect is not an option.

With the Bone Nightmare Old Demon’s meticulous mindset, if I inquire about such precious items, he likely won’t guess the reason but would likely come to investigate.

Once suspicion arises, this matter cannot end well.

To be cautious, directly go to Lindong City to search. If unsuccessful, seek assistance from Wenjiu, and let him utilize Black and White Divine Hall’s connections.

Lastly, there’s the one Tier Four Demon Pill.

Given Ji Yuan’s current Mid-stage Core Formation, obtaining a Tier Four Demon Pill is akin to dreaming.

But by chance.

Earlier when Hua Yaoyue left, she happened to give Ji Yuan one Tier Four Demon Pill, which was the only one he had.
