Chapter 419
Chapter 419 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" begins with suspense: "Hmm?"As soon as these words were spoken, several Yun Family members present all simultaneously looked... Donât stop reading!
"Hmm?"As soon as these words were spoken, several Yun Family members present all simultaneously looked up, somewhat startled, at Yun Qianzai.
Especially that little aunt sitting opposite Ji Yuan, who seemed to be questioning if she heard it wrong.
Admitting in front of outsiders that their family possessed a Spiritual Energy Cannon was one thing; after all, the two outsiders here... could be considered their own people.
But whatâs this about giving it away?
The Spiritual Energy Cannon isnât exactly commonplace.
"Why, as the esteemed ancestor of the Yun Family, canât I even handle something like this?"
Yun Qianzai continued speaking with both hands behind his back, sounding casual, as if... he didnât take them seriously at all.
Seeing this, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Yun Family realized that Yun Qianzai wasnât joking and was serious. They quickly turned their gaze to Yun Wannian.
The only one present who might persuade Yun Qianzai was his father.
But thatâs just a possibility... They knew Yun Qianzaiâs nature too well; if pushed, he could even argue with his father each on their own terms.
I can call you father, but you must call me ancestor!
Ji Yuan glanced around, realizing he had to step in and speak, otherwise, it would be difficult for the other side.
"Ahem."
As soon as he stood up and was about to speak, he found Yun Qianzai already standing in front of him, back facing him, "With me here, sit down."
... If this tactic were used on a female cultivator, there probably wouldnât be many who could withstand it.
But unfortunately, Ji Yuan wasnât a female cultivator. He sidestepped, took a step forward, and slightly cupped his hands toward Yun Wannian, who was seated at the head:
"Uncle Yun, thanks to the kind intentions of Second Senior Brother, this Spiritual Energy Cannon is indeed something I need, and Iâm willing to exchange Spirit Stones for it."
The one in question finally spoke up.
Yun Wannian also breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, he was sensible; otherwise, if Yun Qianzai insisted, he, as the head of the family, would really have to give away a Spiritual Energy Cannon.
Firstly, he couldnât break Yun Qianzaiâs face in front of his brothers.
Secondly, it was also a matter of forming ties with a potentially Core Formation stage cultivator. In Yun Wannianâs view, to be accepted as Master Wang Youâs disciple means he was at least a Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But in this way, the Yun Familyâs loss would be considerable.
Now that Ji Yuan stood up, it was all good; it wouldnât break Yun Qianzaiâs face, and it minimized their losses.
Yun Wannian raised his hand slightly and shut the hall door.
Yun Qianzai frowned and said:
"As the Isle Master Tianshu, do I have any reason... I should act openly and honestly, why close the door to talk like this."
This time, Yun Wannian didnât respond, but he smiled at Ji Yuan: "This Spiritual Energy Cannon... our Yun Family does indeed have one..."
"Arenât there three in the treasure trove? Where are the other two? Did you sell them?" Yun Qianzai spoke again.
As such, Ji Yuan couldnât help but feel... Second Senior Brother was truly a good man.
Yun Wannianâs face darkened, "There are three, but you should know, dear nephew, that your sect prohibits private trading of this Spiritual Energy Cannon, so itâs essentially a forbidden item, and we must be cautious, hoping you would understand."
"Understand, understand." Ji Yuan quickly nodded.
Yun Wannian nodded slightly and turned to look at the bearded man, "Third, go to the treasury and bring a Spiritual Energy Cannon to give to our nephew."
"Yes."
Uncle Yun Three stood up, cupped his hands, then invoked a technique and vanished into a cloud of mist.
This couldnât help but remind Ji Yuan of his "Black Mist Dissolution" technique, which seemed somewhat similar to this Yun familyâs escape technique.
Speaking of which, Ji Yuan thought of his sect, the Great Love Sect. He wondered if the Sect Leader Wailing Wanderer was still around and if he would live to see the day of his revenge.
In the past two years, Ji Yuan had been looking for information on Ghost Seeking Cave, but most of what he heard was about some Demon Dao escaping into Ghost Seeking Cave again.
Nothing about Wailing Wanderer.
At the side, Yun Qianzai, hearing Yun Wannian say to give it away, sat down contentedly.
The wait wasnât long before Uncle Yun Three returned.
He nodded first to Yun Wannian, then grinned at Ji Yuan: "Dear nephew, you might have to step back a bit, otherwise, it wonât fit."
"Oh?"
Ji Yuan had never seen this Spiritual Energy Cannon before and promptly returned to his previous seat at these words.
Uncle Yun Three pointed his right hand toward the center of the hall, and suddenly a huge object appeared in the midst.
Spiritual Energy Cannon.
Its appearance didnât match Ji Yuanâs imagination of a cannon; there were no barrels or chambers... after all, it was a product of the cultivation realmâs artifact refining and array techniques, unlike the technological products Ji Yuan knew of.
What he saw was the base of the Spiritual Energy Cannon, a golden gilded base, occupying a size of more than a dozen square meters.
On top of the base floated rings of silver light, with a texture resembling mica iron, engraved with array patterns, and emitting a white glow all over.
"This should be the main body of the Spiritual Energy Cannon."
Ji Yuan looked up at the nearly twenty-meter-high giant light ring, estimating in his mind.
"Itâs now in its activated state."
Yun Wannian, at some unknown time, also came beside Ji Yuan, looking up. Then he formed a few hand seals and sent them onto the base.
The light ring of the Spiritual Energy Cannon instantly contracted, and the suspended silver rings slowly descended onto the base, coming to peace again.
Without the dazzling light ring, Ji Yuan then noticed that there were indeed traces of age on those silver rings.
Together with those array patterns, they didnât look as striking.
It looked somewhat worn... definitely a second-hand item.
