Chapter 240 - The Benefits of Belonging to a Sect
Chapter 240 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" kicks off with action-packed scenes: With that, she looked at Ji Yuan with even more satisfaction."Not bad, in the future... Discover more!
With that, she looked at Ji Yuan with even more satisfaction."Not bad, in the future if thereâs any wine, be sure to deliver it to your master here."
"Yes."
Ji Yuan promptly nodded in agreement.
"This is my Communication Talisman. Should there be any emergencies, you can reach out to me with it. However, if thereâs nothing urgent, donât disturb my cultivation." Hua Yaoyue said as she tossed over a golden talisman.
It was slightly different from the one she had given before...
"Keep this safe. If you encounter danger outside in the future, it can help you ward off some, but remember it can only be used once. It can withstand a full-strength attack from a mid-level Golden Core for half the time it takes a stick of incense to burn."
As Hua Yaoyueâs voice fell, a starlit... wine cup appeared in front of Ji Yuan.
It looked not much different from the jade cup Hua Yaoyue had earlier, but within this wine cup, starlight was constantly flickering.
To withstand a mid-level Golden Coreâs attack...
Such a powerful treasure!
Ji Yuan quickly stowed it away, secretly vowing in his heart to repay his master well in the future.
Hmm... Iâll look into whether the Wine Cellar can be upgraded when I return. By then, Iâll see what new Heartâs Desire Wine will be produced at level 2.
If itâs good, Iâll offer it to Master!
"Well, thereâs nothing else."
"Oh, in a few days, your Sect Leader Martial Uncle will summon you to discuss matters regarding establishing the island. When you have chosen a spot, just speak up. If he is unwilling, you can ask him to come find me."
Hua Yaoyueâs words were light, as if ordering Master Xuan Shui was no matter for her at all.
"Yes."
Ji Yuan responded again.
Yun Qianzai followed up with a smile, "Junior Brother, after you establish the island, let me know. Iâll handle all the arrays on your island alone, ensuring whether itâs a Killing Array or an Illusion Array, they are all Tier Two Arrays."
Ji Yuanâs eyes lit up upon hearing this.
Ordinarily, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to establish an island, just purchasing Array Plates and hiring an Array Master to arrange them would be an enormous expense.
The Tier One Mist Array Ji Yuan bought before cost 10 mid-grade Spirit Stones. If it were replaced with a Tier Two Illusion Array, the price would probably be at least eighty or ninety mid-grade Spirit Stones.
For better ones, it could even be in the hundreds.
Now Yun Qianzai was willing to offer help, this generous gesture made Ji Yuan a bit embarrassed to accept.
"Junior Brother, donât be modest with him. He is quite reliable when it comes to arrays."
Phoenix Peach advised.
"Well... then Iâll trouble Second Senior Brother."
Ji Yuan bowed to Yun Qianzai again, thinking in his heart that he needed to upgrade the Cave Mansion to level 2 quickly so that the Cave Mansionâs inherent Star Spiral Cloud Barrier Array could be obtained.
By then, the Star Spiral Cloud Barrier Array would be placed within Yun Qianzaiâs setup, serving as a second layer of protection.
Otherwise, having arrays set by others... Ji Yuan always felt a bit uneasy.
"Junior Brother, no need to be formal, we can exchange insights about arrays when thereâs time."
Yun Qianzai was eager to exchange insights, but Ji Yuan kept feeling... there seemed to be something incorrect here.
As someone with such rich experience in arrays, would he really be this eager to exchange insights with a Tier One Array Master like him?
"Since Second Senior Brother presents arrays as a greeting gift, I cannot be stingy either."
Phoenix Peach said as if frowning in thought, then suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Got it!"
She snapped her fingers, "Iâll give Junior Brother a necklace."
"A necklace?"
Ji Yuan instinctively wondered, what kind of necklace would it be?
The value surely must be considerable if Phoenix Peach presents it as a greeting gift, but the exact nature of it... remained unknown.
As he pondered, he saw Phoenix Peach point her finger.
A string of "beads" flew out from her sleeve, finally resting on Ji Yuanâs neck, transforming into a "beaded chain" hanging there.
A string composed of Demon Pills!
A total of 10, all middle-grade Tier Two Demon Pills!
"This..."
Looking at the Demon Pills constantly swirling around his neck, Ji Yuan was understandably quite shocked... a single mid-grade Tier Two Demon Pill was worth at least 40 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
And now Phoenix Peach offered 10 at once, such generosity... was somewhat extravagant, wasnât it?
Even Yun Qianzai couldnât help but have his eyelids twitch at this sight.
âWith this in mind, I truly must bleed a bit for the arrays set for Junior Brother.â
Before Ji Yuan could open his mouth to refuse, Yun Qianzai rushed to offer:
"Junior Brother need not be polite with your third Senior Sister. She is either killing demons every day or on the way to kill them, and she also has the Suspended Demon Shop to help accumulate resources. Demon Pills... she has plenty."
"These Demon Pills are for Junior Brother to use in Alchemy, and also, whatâs with the âaccumulate resourcesâ? Hmph! Youâre just jealous!"
Phoenix Peach shot a resentful look at Yun Qianzai.
Ji Yuan expressed his thanks at length before accepting Phoenix Peachâs gift.
Simultaneously, he contemplated what kind of return gifts he ought to offer. Although he was the Junior Brother, he couldnât receive such gifts for free, one or two times might be fine, but more than that... anyone would feel uneasy.
For Yun Qianzai, he probably is only interested in arrays.
Thatâs a bit tricky.
For Phoenix Peach, gifting some "Nourishing Jade Fat" from the Pigsty would be very suitable. Since she often engages in Magical Combat outside, her Spiritual Artifacts likely sustain significant damage, so providing something to repair her Spiritual Artifacts would certainly be of use to her.
"Alright, if thereâs nothing else, you all may leave."
Hua Yaoyue waved her hand, seemingly displeased with their bantering here.
With their master having issued the order, Ji Yuan and the two others naturally hurriedly took their leave.
