Chapter 277 - Canglan Sword Embryo, Complete!
Chapter 277 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" begins with suspenseful moments: Ji Yuan sighed when he saw this."Senior, this is my biggest secret. You have to... Donât miss it!
Ji Yuan sighed when he saw this."Senior, this is my biggest secret. You have to keep it for me, alright?"
"Where in the world did you get this thing? Elixirs that assist with body foundation establishmentâthis is basically defying the heavens..." Isle Master Tie Chui really couldnât figure it out.
Ji Yuan took out the speech heâd prepared in advance. "Iâm an alchemist myself, and I happened to inherit the legacy of an ancient pill master. In his inheritance, there was the method for refining this elixir. Now that Iâve completed my body foundation establishment, I thought Iâd give senior a hand."
"Your luck sure is something."
Upon hearing this explanation, Isle Master Tie Chui didnât have any doubts.
Inheriting a predecessorâs legacy is a perfectly normal thing. The only difference is the size of the inheritance, thatâs all.
"These elixirs definitely donât come cheap. Just the fact youâre giving this to me, Iâm already getting a huge favor from you. I wonât say anything elseâat least let me pay for the herbs."
Isle Master Tie Chui paused to think, "Fifty mid-grade spirit stones for one elixir, is that enough?"
Fifty mid-grade spirit stones... Ji Yuan did a quick calculation. The blood essence comes from the pigsty, basically zero cost, and the quenching acupoint pearl also comes from the pigsty, but each spirit pig can only produce one, so at most it costs about ten spirit stones, and thatâs low-grade ones.
Now, Isle Master Tie Chui was offering fifty mid-grade spirit stones straight up.
Isnât that one buck of cost, turning around to sell for five hundred?
"Thatâs too much, senior. Just give me thirty spirit stones, thatâs plenty."
Ji Yuan didnât want to take too much from the guy. After all, you canât solve the quenching acupoint process with just one or two pills.
He estimated that even if Isle Master Tie Chui was fast, heâd still have about two hundred acupoints left to temper.
"You sure thatâs enough?"
"Absolutely enough."
"Fine then, these are the spirit stones for the elixirs."
Isle Master Tie Chui tossed over a storage bag, then without missing a beat, swept up the bottle of elixirs from the table.
"Alright, kid, get outta here."
"Huh?"
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and go refine pills for this old man! Damn, once I get my body foundation established, letâs have another rumbleâyouâll see what ârobust in old ageâ really means."
"Heh, then Iâll hold back the last pill, only give it to you after Iâve beaten you down."
Isle Master Tie Chui: "..."
"You win, you winâfine, youâre the only one Iâll ever admit defeat to."
Ji Yuan pocketed the spirit stones and left, laughing heartily at the sky.
But as soon as he left Hammer Island, he switched back to his low-key and cautious self, even keeping his head down piloting the flying boat.
This trip back only took about a month.
He soon received a transmission from Du Wanyi.
Han Feiyu successfully reached foundation establishment!
Nowadays, in the technically-defunct Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association, he became the second person after Ji Yuan to succeed at foundation establishment.
Mentioning the Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association reminded Ji Yuan of something heâd heard not long ago.
When Han Feiyu first took over as the association leader of the Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association, a bunch of people gave him the cold shoulderâsome even skipped the gatherings every time.
But once he came back from the Nine Nether Cave Heaven and became the disciple of Master Xuan Shui at the Golden Core stageâ
Everything changed.
The folks from the mutual aid association practically wanted to have small meetings every three days, big meetings every five, showing up at his door for every single one, calling him "Association Leader" at every turn.
Han Feiyu went to a few at first, but once he realized all these people were scheming to wring some benefits out of him, he stopped going entirely.
As soon as Ji Yuan heard the news, he sent his congratulations to Han Feiyu without delay.
Han Feiyu seemed to have already picked out his island, and Master Xuan Shui had even helped him prepare it in advance. The only thing left was the opening celebration.
Ji Yuan didnât do this, but Han Feiyu had to.
And not just do itâhe had to go all out.
The main reason was because heâd become the sect leaderâs disciple, and Master Xuan Shui even seemed to want to turn his island opening celebration into a big "networking event."
Rumor had it quite a few Golden Core Zhenren would show up.
So this island opening celebration was no longer something Han Feiyu could call the shots onâeven the date got pushed back by a few months.
No rush for the celebration.
Han Feiyu came to find Ji Yuan.
With advance notice, Ji Yuan had already come to wait for him at Wuyou Island.
A day later, when Foundation Establishment cultivator Han Feiyu arrived at Ji Yuanâs Wuyou Island, he gave a round of praise as expected.
"When Brother Hanâs Luo Hun Island has its grand opening, itâll be way more impressive than my Wuyou Island."
"Donât even mention it, sigh."
Han Feiyu waved his hand and shook his head. "Living in the jianghu, you donât get to make your own choices. Honestly, I envy you, Brother Jiâfree and easy, you get to cultivate every day and ignore all the worldly mess."
Ji Yuan just listened.
Back when they were still in Zengtou City, Han Feiyu was never the type who could sit idle.
"You have no idea, Brother Hanâthereâs plenty of people who envy your life right now too."
"True that."
Han Feiyu didnât put on airs and admitted it readily.
After a bit of polite chit-chat, Ji Yuan got curious and asked, "So, Brother Han, what brings you here today?"
A few days earlier, Han Feiyu had sent Ji Yuan a message to check if he was in the sect.
Ji Yuan had no idea what Han Feiyu wanted.
But thinking that Han Feiyu had just reached foundation establishment, it was probably nothing majorâmost likely just wanting to share the joyâso he agreed.
And then Han Feiyu said heâd come today, so Ji Yuan returned from Mist Island to Wuyou Island early to wait for him.
"Actually, itâs nothing big, just wanted to ask if youâve got some free time in the next couple of days?"
Han Feiyu chuckled as he asked.
"Oh?"
Ji Yuan didnât answer right away since Han Feiyu hadnât said what it was about.
Itâs like when someone just asks "You there?"âitâs never straightforward whether you say yes or no.
But luckily, Han Feiyu got to the point quickly.
"Weâre both from Cloud Rain Marsh, hometown friends from Zengtou City, and now weâve both made it to foundation establishment. So I was thinkingâdo you have some time, so we can go back to Zengtou City for a visit?"
