Chapter 457 - Celestial Fox Joyful Skill
Chapter 457 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" introduces new challenges: There is now much more Spiritual Qi in the Dantian, which needs to be purified... Keep following!
There is now much more Spiritual Qi in the Dantian, which needs to be purified and compressed using Tri-colored Spirit Eggs."Junior Brother, your Spiritual Qi at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment... is quite abundant."
Having broken through, Dong Qian was once again full of life.
"Itâs just unfortunate that Senior Sister didnât inherit our Celestial Fox Raceâs Pure Yin Celestial Fox Body. Otherwise, with innate Yuan Yin Spiritual Qi, if you were to dual cultivate with Junior Brother for the first time, you might directly achieve Core Formation."
"Whatâs the harm? Itâs already pretty good now."
Such a joyful cultivation boost made Ji Yuan think that this joy could last forever.
"So, does that mean dual cultivation can only be done in phases?"
"With what Junior Brother said, thatâs kind of true. The next dual cultivation would need Junior Brother to at least reach Late-stage Foundation Establishment while I must be steady in Mid-stage Foundation Establishment."
"In that case, letâs not dual cultivate for now."
"Huh? Then you still..."
Feeling refreshed, Ji Yuan stood aside, watching as Dong Qian stored the messy bed into the Storage Bag.
The transparent glass coffin on the distant platform was already empty.
"Alright, I know you have many questions, ask anything youâd like."
Putting on clothes and transforming into human form, Dong Qian returned to her usual appearance, even her voice wasnât as soft.
It felt like she didnât recognize anyone after pulling up her pants.
Thankfully, Ji Yuan was somewhat of an adventurer, and their relationship... might only be clear by the end of todayâs conversation.
"Okay."
Ji Yuan didnât hold back, turning to the coffin and asked directly: "Are you her?"
He meant to ask if Dong Qian was a reincarnated Nascent Soul Cultivator.
"No."
Dong Qian shook her head, "The ancestor buried here is not my direct ancestor, just of the same tribe."
Ji Yuan nodded slightly, then asked: "Are you truly from our Zengtou City, Senior Sister?"
Ji Yuan initially wanted to ask if she was still herself.
But the words felt unsuitable, so he rephrased the question.
"Yes."
Dong Qian chuckled, "Let me tell you directly, our Celestial Fox Race is special. We can inherit memories through our bloodline. The reason I know these things is because Iâve awakened a part of our Celestial Fox Raceâs legacy."
"Including knowing the location here, and accepting the Six-tailed among others."
Only after hearing this did Ji Yuan understand, but thinking further, he realized... thereâs seemingly no Celestial Fox Race on Cangluo Continent. Even Shangxi never heard of them.
On Cangluo Continent, there are only the Human Race and Demon Race.
"Then your Celestial Fox Race isnât from Cangluo Continent?" Ji Yuan asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Dong Qianâs smile faded.
She didnât rush to answer but lowered her head, paced back and forth several times, then turned to Ji Yuan, asking:
"Do you think these things matter, Junior Brother?"
"If the Celestial Fox Race isnât from Cangluo Continent, would you no longer associate with me? Or if we are from Cangluo Continent, would you decide against being associated with me?"
"Let it happen naturally, and you donât seem like someone who likes to be tied down."
Dong Qianâs last sentence had an implied meaning.
Ji Yuan: "Huh?"
Dong Qian snorted, turned away, jokingly said: "Junior Brother better not think that just because you slept with me once, Iâll do whatever you say."
Ji Yuan laughed at this and then sent a voice transmission to Dong Qian.
"Junior Brother, you!"
Dong Qian turned around, her pretty face turned red, pointing at Ji Yuan, planning to say some harsh words but realizing that, before Ji Yuan, no harsh words seemed effective.
"Alright, alright, does Senior Sister know where the Blood River is? I need to go condense my sword embryo."
Ji Yuan quickly shifted the topic.
Since Dong Qian didnât want to delve deeper into this matter, then let it go.
Regardless of the detail, the two would likely delve into it more thoroughly in the future.
"I know, but I donât want to take you there!"
Dong Qian said angrily.
She was clearly still upset about the things Ji Yuan had said.
Thus Ji Yuan transmitted another message, causing Dong Qianâs face to redden further, but ultimately she admitted defeat, "Then, letâs go, Iâll take you."
Ji Yuan laughed heartily.
Dong Qian cast him a sidelong glance, secretly thinking about how to get back at him... perhaps take some Elixir ahead of time next time?
When the thought came, as soon as she moved her feet, Dong Qian realized it was incorrect.
Not next time, she needed medicine now.
The injuries were quite severe.
But fortunately, swallowing a Tier Two Elixir instantly improved her injuries, "Letâs go, actually the Blood River is underground, we can go directly from this tomb."
"No wonder, previously Jiang Hong and the others searched the surface for so long without finding it."
Instead of retracing the way, they continued forward, passing through the main burial chamber, reaching another corridor, and upon entering, Ji Yuan immediately felt a dense Blood Qi rushing at him.
Dong Qian, walking ahead, explained:
"This Blood River is composed of the enemiesâ blood killed by my ancestor, including many Foundation Establishment Golden Cores, and even some Nascent Soul Cultivatorsâ blood, which she ultimately gathered here, transforming into this Blood River."
"No wonder the killing intent is so strong... but do we really have so many Nascent Soul Cultivators in Cangluo Continent for her to kill?"
"Youâre still wondering if our Celestial Fox Race is from Cangluo Continent, arenât you, Junior Brother?"
Dong Qian exposed Ji Yuanâs intentions.
"...No, actually, when you didnât answer upfront earlier, I already guessed that your Celestial Fox Race isnât from our Cangluo Continent."
"Oh? Havenât you considered that we might be from Shangxi?"
