Chapter 328 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" reveals: "Isle Master of Zhaoyang, Xiao Chengyi.""Itâs him!"Upon hearing this name, Ji Yuan immediately understood.He realized... Keep reading!
"Isle Master of Zhaoyang, Xiao Chengyi.""Itâs him!"
Upon hearing this name, Ji Yuan immediately understood.
He realized why this person dared to sell such a thing and why he could acquire such a large shop.
Itâs simply because he has a master named Master Xuanxiao.
Of course, the disciples of the Water Dragon Sect habitually call him the Third Elder.
Xiao Chengyi is the second disciple of this Third Elder, Master Xuanxiao.
Over ten years ago, he was already a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator; by now, he is most likely at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
"Then itâs no wonder."
Ji Yuan was initially considering taking advantage of the opportunity to trick the person behind this, after all, if Liu Yuan hadnât been there today, he would have been deceived.
But since itâs this Xiao Chengyi... he still has to be tricked!
As long as the opportunity is right, he has to get at him somehow.
"Yes, so even if some of the sectâs brothers suffer hidden losses, thereâs nothing they can do. After all, thereâs no explicit evidence for such matters. If you really confront him, he can completely claim itâs because you didnât cultivate well, that itâs your own problem. He just has to deny it to the end."
Liu Yuan said with some annoyance, "I have a friend who suffered such a hidden loss. It was clearly a Celestial Cyan Python that could have reached the late stage of Tier Two, but it was abruptly stopped at the early stage of Tier Two."
"Especially not knowing the truth afterwards, thinking it was insufficient resources, and ended up burning a lot of Spirit Stones on this Celestial Cyan Python."
"Indeed, itâs hateful."
Ji Yuan said in a deep voice.
"But who told him to have a good master."
The two complained for a while but didnât mention any thoughts of revenge.
Ji Yuan didnât intend to expose this idea, as disclosing it to one more person increased the risk of exposure.
As for Liu Yuan, it was mostly because the problem hadnât affected him directly.
After all, a friendâs Celestial Cyan Python was still just the friendâs problem.
After some small talk, Ji Yuan initially wanted to ask Liu Yuan if he was familiar with any cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect to see if he could get an authentic Demon Pill Liquid.
But on second thought, he decided it was better not to take that risk.
Whether itâs the Spirit-Devouring Bee or the Frost Serpent, both would be significant assets to Ji Yuan once grown.
Although the Spirit Control Sectâs Demon Pill Liquid is reliable, what if?
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of ropes in wells.
Better to wait a bit longer.
"By the way, since leaving Lishui City, have you received any other missions, Brother Liu?" Ji Yuan asked curiously.
Since their parting at Lishui City, itâs been over a year now.
Normally, if there were no other changes, the next mission should be coming soon.
"Not yet, but it shouldnât be long. What about you, Brother Ji?"
"I havenât either."
"Then itâs likely weâre on the same mission; when the time comes, I hope you can look out for me, Brother Ji." Liu Yuan cupped his hands and laughed.
"Mutual support will create new glories."
Ji Yuan said with a chuckle.
He also noticed that Liu Yuanâs cultivation was still mid-stage Foundation Establishment, the same as a year ago, and he had not made a breakthrough.
But the flying boat had changed.
Other abilities were likely somewhat enhanced.
Moreover, Ji Yuan knew that Liu Yuanâs cultivation technique was the Li Familyâs "Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual," hence his strong Sword Qi.
After agreeing to keep in touch, Liu Yuan took his leave.
Ji Yuan wandered around Wuyou Island a few times, and everything was normal.
So he returned to Mist Island.
The Big Toad was still dozing, and the Frost Serpent continued running around Cloud Rain Marsh.
After cultivating for another half a month, Ji Yuan finally received a message from Du Wanyi.
She... had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment!
Although from what he heard, it sounded like there was something a bit off, as if she was choking back sobs.
Ji Yuan naturally assumed something must have gone wrong and told her to come to Wuyou Island to find him, while he hurried back to Wuyou Island himself.
The two arrived almost simultaneously.
When Ji Yuan saw Du Wanyi again, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everything seemed normal, and there were no signs of forced breakthroughs resulting in severe internal injuries, preventing future progress in cultivation.
Otherwise, that would have been too dramatic.
"Whatâs wrong with Second Sister?"
After serving tea and sitting down, Ji Yuan immediately asked.
At the mention of this matter, Du Wanyi couldnât help but sniffle a little, but fortunately, her voice only caught for a moment before she recovered.
Apparently, she had already adjusted her mindset while stabilizing her cultivation earlier.
"I was able to break through this time entirely because of the last two Foundation Establishment Pills you gave me, Fourth Brother. If it werenât for those two extra pills, I... I probably wouldnât have achieved Foundation Establishment in this lifetime."
"You mean you succeeded in Foundation Establishment with 12 Foundation Establishment Pills?"
Ji Yuan had wanted to say âonly,â but the word "just" slipped out instead.
"Yes."
Du Wanyi replied, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
If thatâs the case, then it was all down to fate... Ji Yuan couldnât help but feel a bit emotional.
If she had missed those last two Foundation Establishment Pills, even after consuming 10 Foundation Establishment Pills, she wouldnât have achieved Foundation Establishment, and if she wanted to try again in the future... she would need at least 20 Foundation Establishment Pills.
Who could afford that?
Never mind her going at it alone.
Even coming from a Golden Core Family, such expenditure might be untenable.
"Itâs okay, itâs okay, itâs good that youâve achieved Foundation Establishment. Second Sister, donât think too much about it."
Ji Yuan comforted.
"Alright, Iâm so grateful to you, Fourth Brother. If it werenât for you, I... I really donât know what I would have done."
Du Wanyiâs voice still held traces of fear.
To her, without Ji Yuanâs help refining them from the two thousand-year-old Illusion Spirit Gras brought out from Nine Nether Cave Heaven, she wouldnât have obtained those 8 Foundation Establishment Pills at all.
The subsequent 4 were also obtained with Ji Yuanâs help, so she was very aware that without Ji Yuan, she would never have successfully achieved Foundation Establishment.
"Why, youâre my second sister. Who else would I help if not you?"
Ji Yuan said with a smile.
"I, I..."
"Alright, Second Sister, go back and have a good rest. In a few days, youâll have to meet Sect Leader Martial Uncle."
Du Wanyi stayed at Ji Yuanâs Wuyou Island for most of the day before leaving with peace of mind.
Shortly after she left, Dong Qian came over, asking if Du Wanyi had come out of seclusion because she thought she saw a figure that looked like her leaving.
Ji Yuan confirmed it was her.
As a result, three days later, another island appeared to the west of Wuyou Island.
It was named "Taiâan Island."
Named after Taian Square where Du Wanyi was born, and she was the first Foundation Establishment cultivator since Taian Square was established.
Ji Yuan also found himself living a "left embrace, right cuddle" lifestyle.
Yet, he didnât really like this life; it made commuting to Mist Island less convenient, but he didnât have much choice.
He couldnât just ask people to leave.
Several months passed by in the blink of an eye.
After a long rest, Ji Yuan finally received his sectâs second mission.
Moreover, Master Xuan Shui mentioned when transmitting the message that this time, the mission was to guard... .
PS: A building is about to open; itâs a very crucial building, so Iâm looking for some inspiration for spiritual effects and upgrade conditions, give some ideas!
Not limited to the spirit effects of level 1 spirit veins; the effects of later levels can also be provided.
