Chapter 207 - Danger! The Golden Core Comes Knocking!
Chapter 207 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" begins with intriguing events: But he didnât go far.Ji Yuan wondered if he could help him a bit... This... Donât miss it!
But he didnât go far.Ji Yuan wondered if he could help him a bit... This elder was indeed kind and treated him well. Moreover, if he truly achieved Body Foundation Establishment, his lifespan should increase somewhat.
As for Elder Xu, his physical body hasnât even reached great success yet. Regarding mana, although heâs already at the peak of Qi Refining, considering his age... Ji Yuan knew about it.
Once cultivators pass the age of sixty, if they havenât successfully established their Foundation, then thereâs no hope for them in this lifetime.
Because once cultivators pass the age of sixty, their vitality begins to decline.
For someone like Elder Xu, who is in his eighties or nineties, no amount of Foundation Establishment Pills would work.
But even if I wanted to help, Iâd at least have to wait until after Iâve established my Foundation, and I definitely canât just take out the Quenching Acupoint Pearl. Such a thing that can directly allow the flesh to establish a foundation is simply too abnormal.
Even though Isle Master Tie Chui treats me well, Ji Yuan didnât dare take out such a thing.
Iâll have to see if thereâs another way later on.
Isle Master Qinghe has been a bit depressed recently.
A few days ago, he went to bring some wine to Master Wang You again, and as expected, nothing could satisfy this drunkard... oh, I mean, Wine Immortal.
Hua Yaoyue asked why that Qi Cultivation Stage disciple hadnât brought wine.
How would Isle Master Qinghe know about that?
Itâs possible the person has died, he could only brush it off and say itâs coming soon.
Reasonably speaking, thereâs no point arguing when a Foundation Establishment faces a Golden Core, and few Golden Cores are willing to listen to reasoning from a Foundation Establishment.
So after returning to Thousand Mechanism Island, Isle Master Qinghe began to hope day and night for Ji Yuan to come.
Several times, he even considered going to the Ancestral Hall to find out where Ji Yuan was living and directly seeking him out, but he still didnât dare to commit such a taboo act.
He could only think to stall a while longer.
As long as Ji Yuan doesnât come, he just wouldnât go deliver Spirit Wine to Master Wang You for now.
This day.
Isle Master Qinghe, as usual, was drinking tea in the back hall of the Thousand Mechanism Hall when he suddenly sensed some slight movement in his storage bag.
His Divine Sense swept through it, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Whatâs up, Brother Qing He, could there be some happy event?"
A bald man in black sitting opposite him touched his bald head and chuckled.
A long-faced man in a green magic robe sitting on the left put down the green porcelain teacup in his hand and slowly said, "Could it be that youâve found us a sister-in-law? Just hope sheâs not from the Joy Palace."
Isle Master Qingheâs old face turned dark, and he rose with a flick of his wide sleeve.
"You two unscrupulous rascals!"
After that, he stormed out in anger.
The two remaining people laughed heartily.
The bald Isle Master punched the air with laughter: "Old Yin, oh Old Yin, Iâd almost forgotten about this if you hadnât mentioned it."
Isle Master Yinshan stroked his goatee and smiled without speaking.
What he was referring to wasnât unfounded. In earlier years, Isle Master Qinghe had been tricked by a cultivator from the Joy Palace.
Back then, it was a male cultivator from the Joy Palace who had mastered a magic that could change appearance. He transformed into a woman and became very close to Isle Master Qinghe, almost binding as Dao companions.
Just as they were about to take the final step, a Golden Core elder from Water Dragon Sect accidentally exposed the true identity of the Joy Palace male cultivator on the spot.
After the incident... Isle Master Qinghe closed himself off for eight years.
He didnât dare to face people until eight years later.
Just as Isle Master Qinghe emerged from the back hall, he looked around and soon spotted the overly handsome young disciple in the crowd.
Even though he was wearing the most ordinary Water Dragon Sect Robe, he still stood out among the many disciples wearing identical clothes.
"Ji Xiaoyou, youâve finally come."
Isle Master Qinghe approached and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Yuan: "Hmm??"
"Has Uncle-Master really been waiting for me?"
Isle Master Qingheâs expression didnât change as he continued to smile warmly: "Not really."
Ji Yuan didnât think much of it and immediately took out three jars of Spirit Wine from his storage bag, but before he could do anything further, Isle Master Qinghe pressed his hand down.
"Hmm?"
Ji Yuan looked at him in confusion, subconsciously thinking, could it be that they werenât accepting the wine?
"Nephew, please come to the back hall for a chat."
Isle Master Qinghe said solemnly.
"Is it that...they donât want this Spirit Wine anymore?"
Ji Yuan was puzzled. He had just come to deliver a task; why did he have to go to the back hall?
"Not exactly, but the price might go up a bit, and as for the specifics, I need to discuss them with you, so thatâs why."
Isle Master Qinghe presented the excuse heâd prepared for months.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan said:
"Uncle-Master, please!"
At 200 merit points per jar, and it could still go higher, Ji Yuan planned to take out a few more jars today; otherwise, heâd seem too ignorant.
But on second thought, something seemed off with this.
Could that old drunk behind all this be this rich?
Willing to spend hundreds of merit points just to drink a jar of wine, could he truly be a Golden Core... ahem, a Golden Core elder?
If thatâs really the case, he couldnât continue this after finishing this job.
Ji Yuan hadnât yet established his Foundation and didnât want to get entangled with these Golden Core old thieves; with them, even minor incidents would become major matters for him.
The two entered the back hall one after the other.
Isle Master Qinghe didnât take Ji Yuan to meet with Isle Master Yinshan and the others. This achievement belonged to Isle Master Qinghe alone; how could he share it with others?
