Chapter 165 - Days Going Out with the Beautiful Senior Sister
Chapter 165 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" starts here: After inviting Ji Yuan into the house and listening to him, Dong Qian finally realized."So... Discover what happens next!
After inviting Ji Yuan into the house and listening to him, Dong Qian finally realized."So it was you who issued that task..."
Dong Qian said, somewhat amused, "If I had known, you could have just come directly to me, there was no need for this trouble."
"I wasnât aware before."
Ji Yuan shrugged his hands and laughed helplessly.
"No worries, itâs not too late to know now."
Dong Qian got up to refill Ji Yuanâs tea, smiling lightly, "Speaking of which, weâre both from Zengtou City, but Junior Brother Ji came to Water Dragon Sect and hasnât visited me yet."
Her rebuke from a mature woman was truly overwhelming for Ji Yuan.
"I didnât know where Senior Sister Dongâs Cave Mansion was before."
"Well, now that you know, make sure to come often in the future."
Rest assured, after this matter is resolved, Iâll certainly visit often... Ji Yuan quickly nodded, "Absolutely, as long as Senior Sister Dong doesnât find me annoying, Iâll definitely visit frequently in the future."
"Why would I find you annoying? Itâs usually quiet here, Iâll be more than happy if you wish to visit."
Dong Qian covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"By the way, why hasnât Senior Sister Dong gone to Liancheng Mountain? I heard Brother Han seemed to have gone."
Ji Yuan was a bit puzzled; he remembered meeting Dong Qian when she seemed to be discussing going to the front lines with Han Feiyu.
"As for me."
Dong Qian brushed her hair back behind her ear, revealing her jade-like earlobe.
"Iâm really not skilled at magical combat. After joining Water Dragon Sect, Iâve been focusing on alchemy over at the Four Islands, I wouldnât dare go to a place like the front line."
Youâre not skilled at magical combat... Ji Yuan chuckled.
He recalled two instances, both happened when they were at Cloud Rain Marsh.
One was something Ji Yuan heard, back when Dong Qian married into the neighboring Taian Square, and shortly after breaking through to late-stage Qi Cultivation, she managed to kill a Same-tier Cultivator head-on without getting hurt.
The other was something Ji Yuan witnessed firsthand.
It was when Dong Qian joined Water Dragon Sect, and she had just completed a beast battle on Mountain Rain Island, waiting to return to Zengtou City.
Even Han Feiyu sustained some minor injuries, but she was completely unharmed.
And you say youâre not skilled at magical combat?
Not a word of truth, unlike myself; if I say Iâm not skilled at magical combat, I really mean it, Iâm only good at... killing.
"Alchemy is good, itâs certainly safer to stay within the sect and practice alchemy."
After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he immediately shifted the topic back.
"I wonder if Senior Sister Dong might have some Illusion Heart Flower? If you do, Iâd be willing to exchange Spirit Stones for it."
"Since Junior Brother could publish a task on Thousand Mechanism Island, you must know something about the Illusion Heart Flowerâs situation. Had you come half a year earlier, I indeed had some, but now theyâve all flowed to Medicine King Valley via the Black Market."
Dong Qian must have truly regarded Ji Yuan as her own, sharing even such details.
"So, from what Senior Sister Dong said... we need to go to the Black Market?"
Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
If he really had to go to the Black Market, Ji Yuan would have to carefully consider it; that place is a lawless, highly dangerous area.
"No, itâs too dangerous there."
Dong Qian shook her head and smiled, "If you were to go there, you wouldnât need me for info."
"What I know is a place where Illusion Heart Flowers grow, itâs one of the sources, where the price can be cheaper and safer."
This is indeed a good place... Ji Yuan pursued, "Where?"
"To the west, within the domain of Medicine King Valley, a place named Old Locust Valley."
Before Ji Yuan spoke, Dong Qian continued, "Weâll pose as Loose Cultivators, spend some Spirit Stones to buy a few flowers; the lure of profit is strong, some will be willing to sell. As long as you donât need too many, Medicine King Valley wonât investigate thoroughly."
Ji Yuan was about to speak but quickly realized something.
He looked at the charming lady before him and smiled slightly, "Senior Sister Dong probably obtained Illusion Heart Flowers through this method, right?"
Dong Qian playfully winked.
"Take a guess."
"I wonât guess."
Ji Yuan shook his head, "Senior Sister, please just tell me."
"If I hadnât used this method, I wouldnât dare mention it." Dong Qian rolled her eyes, a simple gesture that exuded allure.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan relaxed a little inside.
"Itâs just you, Junior Brother; if it were someone else, I wouldnât share so much."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Dong."
Ji Yuan said sincerely.
It seems coming here openly was indeed the right choice.
"There you go being overly polite again. Coincidentally, I need Illusion Heart Flowers for my alchemy as well, so Iâll accompany Junior Brother on this trip."
Dong Qianâs slightly magnetic voice made Ji Yuan feel as though she intended to lead him on the trip, rather than a mere lack of alchemy materials.
Indeed, the means of a mature woman are numerous...
Though he sighed, Dong Qianâs willingness to guide him was beyond Ji Yuanâs expectations.
Originally, he thought Dong Qian would just give him the location, but unexpectedly she was willing to lead him.
"If thatâs the case, then thank you, Senior Sister." For more chapters visÄąt NoveI-Fire.É´et
Ji Yuan stood up and gave a respectful salute.
The title for her changed from Dong Senior Sister to Senior Sister.
"Junior Brother, you tend to do too much formal courtesy; alright, go make your preparations, and weâll depart in an hour."
Since Dong Qian wanted to leave early, Ji Yuan was more than eager to agree.
There wasnât much preparation needed; Ji Yuanâs Cave Mansion on Chulong Island had nothing except some things for appearances.
However, time would need to be given for Dong Qian to get ready, so he waited a while after returning.
