Chapter 375 - Even Nascent Soul Can Be Killed!
Chapter 375 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" opens revealing: "But Master said someone in Shangxi seems to also have this Divine Soul Technique. Could... Keep going!
"But Master said someone in Shangxi seems to also have this Divine Soul Technique. Could it be the latter part of the âNine Chamber Divine Soul Canonâ? The soul-attacking effect technique.""After the righteous-demonic war, we can let Master investigate. If possible, see if we can directly obtain it."
"Secondly, there are other continents that Master talked about. I didnât expect the world to be so vast. I originally thought Cangluo Continent was already sufficiently large - just Shang Dong alone has six Immortal Sects. Yet, Master said there are continents larger than Cangluo, and Cangluo might just be an island compared to them. Seems like my journey ahead is long, I cannot afford to be careless."
"Itâs truly like treading on thin ice in this path of cultivation."
"Lastly, thereâs Masterâs identity... When asked, she wouldnât say and told me she would reveal it someday. Damn, Master, you donât even trust me. You werenât like this when teaching me cultivation techniques. Ah."
Ji Yuan lay in his Cave Mansion, with myriad thoughts racing through his mind.
But he knew he couldnât lie there for long.
Because he still needs to set off for Liancheng Mountain to retrieve the Phoenix Peach.
"Unexpectedly, Third Senior Sister, who has been silent all along, is about to break through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment. Soon, Iâll have two senior brothers and one senior sister, with one being a Fake Pill Realm Great Senior Brother plus two at the Peak of Foundation Establishment: Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister. Itâs quite a formidable backup."
"Looks like I also need to find the location to gather the embryo for the next Flying Sword, since strength, no matter how strong, must be rooted in the cultivation realm."
With this thought, Ji Yuan stopped lying down.
Thereâs no use lying, better to cultivate early and ask Liu Yuan as well, who practices the Li Familyâs âSword Manual,â and see where he gathered his sword embryo.
Further travel beckons, so Ji Yuan prudently took along the Frost Serpent and Bee Swarm.
Additionally, he took the Yin Ghost Banner and Thousand Souls Banner too, better safe than sorry lest he needed to act as a Demon Cultivator at some point.
Flying Boat paved the way, traveling and cultivating simultaneously.
As Ji Yuan approached Liancheng Mountain, he discovered something strange.
That was his Dantian.
During the month-long journey, he remembered to eat the Tri-colored Spirit Egg he had in his Storage Bag, which led to an interesting situation.
His Dantianâs Spirit Liquidâthe Mid-stage Foundation Establishment had almost filled half a Dantian initially, but after consuming a month of Tri-colored Spirit Eggs... the Spirit Liquid reduced to only one-third.
Fortunately, although the Spirit Liquid visibly reduced, the total amount didnât diminish. Otherwise, Ji Yuan would be worried about his cultivation sliding back to the early Foundation Establishment stage.
On the day he reached Liancheng Mountain, he consumed the last Tri-colored Spirit Egg. If he wanted to continue eating, heâd need to activate the Chicken Cage building effect here.
Coincidentally, the patrol duty at Liancheng Mountain today happened to be Phoenix Peach.
She saw Ji Yuan arriving and immediately summoned a Flying Boat to ascend, ecstatically shouting, "Little Junior Brother, youâve finally arrived!"
"Thank you for your hard work during this time, Senior Sister."
Ji Yuan slightly bowed, then exchanged fist bumps with Liu Yuan who came over, "Brother Liu, long time no see."
"Indeed, long time no see."
Liu Yuan patted the wine-red gourd at his waist, laughing, "Iâve run out of my brew for quite some time. Ever since I drank Brother Jiâs wine, everything else tasted like horse urine."
Phoenix Peach was greatly shocked.
"What?! Junior Brother Liu, youâve drunk horse urine before."
Liu Yuan rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.
After briefly accosting a fellow Joy Palace cultivator, they saw someone from Water Dragon Sect had arrived for patrol duty. This wasnât uncommon, so they agreed with a smile, saying theyâd keep an eye on things here.
Sometime later, Ji Yuan met Rou Yi, who came over for a visit.
The other two Water Dragon Sect cultivators, Isle Master of Cloud Mist and Master of Bamboo Shadow Island, went down the mine, still yet to return.
After a round of courteous conversation, Ji Yuan went back to his residence with Phoenix Peach.
"Did Master send you here?"
Phoenix Peach sat down and lay on the table, her fiery red long skirt swaying along with her leg movements, looking quite attractive.
"Allow me to congratulate Senior Sister in advance."
Ji Yuan smiled, everything understood without words.
Phoenix Peach knew Ji Yuan was talking about her impending breakthrough to the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and her lips curled uncontainably as she nonchalantly waved her hand, "Ah, Little Junior Brother, youâll have your day too. When you are ready to break through, Master will surely help you as well."
"Indeed, Master treats us all very well."
"Yes, then Iâll leave this place to Little Junior Brother. Since youâre here, Iâll head back shortly."
The breakthrough concerned her personally, Phoenix Peach couldnât afford to wait.
"Sure, be careful on the way back, Senior Sister. Once back, please send my regards to Master."
Phoenix Peach rolled her eyes, "Hmph, I wonât tell Master. Little Junior Brother, youâre always so courteous with us, makes interacting uncomfortable."
Ji Yuan chuckled, "Thatâs being polite, isnât it?"
"Canât you be a little rude to me then?"
Phoenix Peach blurted out, but as soon as she spoke, she realized it sounded wrong; it had an ambiguous meaning.
Her delicate face flushed slightly, and she didnât know how to explain, so she just buried her head in her arms, pretending to be a tortoise.
Hearing this, Ji Yuanâs heart moved, so he tentatively asked, "How about then..."
"Senior Sister give me some Talisman Treasure to use?"
Phoenix Peach undoubtedly left, in a huff.
To her, even if Ji Yuan had truly made an excessive request, she wouldnât have been so angry. Yet Ji Yuan, even at this point, asked for Talisman Treasure!
