Chapter 535 of "Longevity through Upgrading Buildings" begins revealing exciting developments: "Cultivate diligently. When you become a Nascent Soul Patriarch someday, won’t the Li family be... Don’t stop now!

"Cultivate diligently. When you become a Nascent Soul Patriarch someday, won’t the Li family be under your command?"The Ice and Fire Elder rubbed his hands together, then pointed towards the adjacent room. "You and your little maid can stay there. Just call me if you need anything."

With that, he proceeded to the main house on his own.

Ji Yuan finally steeled himself and entered the room the Ice and Fire Elder had pointed out.

The room was simple, with just a bed and a table, nothing else.

Behind him, Ye Zhiqiu could only follow him in and sensibly closed the door.

She might not have known Ji Yuan’s true identity before, but after the introduction from the Ice and Fire Elder, how could she not understand?

The man in front of her, with the fake name "Qiu Qianhai" and real name "Li Changshou," was actually a bastard son of a Nascent Soul family, and moreover, the illegitimate child of the Li family Patriarch!

With such a status, in the entire Cangluo Continent, he was almost among the top tier.

"Daoist Ye... apologies for the inconvenience."

After entering the room, Ji Yuan didn’t dare speak aloud, resorting to voice transmission.

"No, it’s nothing, Qiu... should I now address you as Young Master Li?" Ye Zhiqiu tentatively asked.

"A name is just a label. Daoist Ye can call me whatever you wish."

Ji Yuan said and continued to take out several isolation talismans from his storage bag, sticking them onto the doors and windows. These wouldn’t stop the Ice and Fire Elder, but it was for appearances.

Otherwise, leaving no talismans at all would seem odd.

"Understood, I’ve seen Young Master Li."

After Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, she proactively stepped forward to pour tea for Ji Yuan.

...that wasn’t necessary.

Ji Yuan reached out to take the tea, then asked aloud, "On Ice and Fire Island, aside from the Ice and Fire Elder, are there any strong Golden Core Zhenrens?"

"This..."

Ye Zhiqiu thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head. "I’m not sure, I only know there’s the Ice and Fire Elder on Ice and Fire Island, whose power is unmatched."

Whether the Ice and Fire Elder was eavesdropping or not, Ye Zhiqiu was praising him.

Ji Yuan also hadn’t heard much but recalled the palace just seen and the image of the Ice and Fire Elder in simple attire.

The palace didn’t seem to be where the Elder resides.

If that’s the case, there might be an old schemer hiding on this Ice and Fire Island!

A master capable of making the Ice and Fire Elder willingly stay in a thatched house, isn’t it likely a Nascent Soul Monster?

Is there a Nascent Soul Monster in hiding on Ice and Fire Island?

A thought flickered in Ji Yuan’s mind, and he stood up, saying, "Wait here, I’ll go inquire."

He then stepped into the courtyard, softly calling, "Ice and Fire Elder."

"What is it?"

The Ice and Fire Elder, with hands behind his back, leisurely walked out of the main house, wearing a... tigerish grin.

"I came this time hoping to solidify a sword embryo at the strange pool, do you..."

Ji Yuan bowed slightly towards the Ice and Fire Elder.

"I’m aware of that. There’s no rush, no rush. You’ve just arrived, and your seat isn’t even warm yet. Why hurry?" The Ice and Fire Elder chuckled.

"After you rest for a few days, I’ll naturally take you there."

Heeding this, Ji Yuan relaxed a bit.

Then he glanced at the distant great hall on the mountain and couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Elder, may I inquire who resides over there?"

"Haha, just an arrogant fool!"

The Ice and Fire Elder retorted with a hint of anger.

This prompted Ji Yuan to quickly shut up; he knew the Elder’s anger wasn’t directed at him but rather at the individual residing in the palace... a mortal enemy?

If they’re mortal enemies, why live together?

Are they both using the same Tier Three Array?

Or perhaps... a love-hate relationship.

Ji Yuan didn’t understand, but seeing the Elder’s reaction, he dared not ask further, hastily retreating back to the room.

Ye Zhiqiu naturally heard the conversation at the door, so when Ji Yuan entered and looked at her, she shook her head, indicating she had no idea who lived in the palace group.

...this was quite strange.

Li Changhe presumably visited this Ice and Fire Island and met the Ice and Fire Elder before.

The palace group seemed old, definitely not newly built, so he must have seen it then; why didn’t he mention it?

Ji Yuan couldn’t figure it out and decided it wasn’t worth the effort, as staying here likely posed no issue.

With that, it’s time to assess the harvest.

A storage bag from a Fake Pill cultivator, along with Luo Si Fu’s storage bag from the Luo Family.

Ji Yuan, recalling the Wailing Wanderer’s departure, noted that the Wanderer had picked up Luo Si Fu’s storage bag, which he now benefited from!

Seeing Ji Yuan retrieve the Wailing Wanderer’s storage bag, Ye Zhiqiu remembered something, and she too took out dozens of small storage bags from her storage bag.

These... were all treasures they had plundered on the island!

Ji Yuan glanced at her, and she replied calmly, "My life was saved by Young Master Li; these spoils rightfully belong to Young Master Li."

She’s certainly perceptive... Ji Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Count out the Spirit Stones within, the rest you can keep for yourself."

Spirit Stones were the hard currency; as for the elixirs, talismans, spiritual artifacts, and the like, even if Ji Yuan acquired them, he would have to deal with them to exchange for Spirit Stones—a hassle.

So now, it’s best—the Spirit Stones are all his.

After all, the Wailing Wanderer and Luo Si Fu bore the brunt of the blame.

Is it black eating black?

No, this is at most white eating black.

Even if those Foundation Establishment cultivators escaped back to South Sea City, there was nothing to fear.

"Understood."

Ye Zhiqiu breathed a silent sigh of relief, offering the spoils sincerely, though giving it all away would have been distressing. Fortunately, this Young Master Li was someone who appreciated human emotions.
