Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 345: Chapter 187: “Demon Cultivator—Qiu Qianhai!

But if she doesn’t want to speak, even if Ji Yuan asks, she won’t say anything.

After returning to Mist Island, Ji Yuan began to prepare the items needed for this trip.

And this time, he is traveling under the identity of a Demon Cultivator, which is quite different from before.

If he really had to engage in magical combat with Demon Cultivators in the Ghost Seeking Cave, the first means would naturally be the Yin Ghost Array. As for other matters… Spiritual Artifacts are fine, but techniques like the “Water Dragon Technique” cannot be used.

Using it would be no different than showing a personal identification card.

“It’s a pity I didn’t learn any techniques from Joy Palace or Medicine King Valley; otherwise, I could have another layer of disguise.”

On the other hand, Arrays are still fine, as they are not distinguished between Right and Demon, and can be used in crucial moments.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan took out a storage bag from the storage bag inside his Storage Bag.

The things inside were all accumulated over the years, not much, only three Spiritual Artifacts in total.

One is a Middle Grade Attack Spiritual Artifact named “Bone-Melting Yin Claw,” another is a Low Grade Protective Spiritual Artifact named “Black Demon Armor.”

And there’s another Spiritual Artifact, quite aligned with the Demon Dao.

It’s called “Blood Marrow Pearl.”

It can absorb others’ essence blood and nourish oneself. At critical moments, it can be used to temporarily boost one’s strength… without any side effects.

The only cost is the depletion of the Blood Marrow Pearl; to continue using it, more essence blood must be filled in.

The three Spiritual Artifacts commonly used by Demon Cultivators were what Ji Yuan prepared for his Demon Cultivator identity.

It consumed a lot of Spirit Stones.

But it was all worth it, not only increasing his means and strength but mainly making his disguise more convincing.

With these three Spiritual Artifacts, plus his Yin Ghost Array… any Righteous Cultivator who saw them would spit a few times at least.

The Spiritual Artifacts were already refined, and Ji Yuan spent a few more days familiarizing himself with them.

Afterward, he took out a Spirit Beast Bag that had been prepared in advance and went to the dense forest on the western side of Mist Island to collect 8000 Spirit-Devouring Bees.

Along with the Tier Two Bee King, they were also taken away by him.

These formed a fighting force, naturally needing to be used, and leaving over 4000 at home to continue breeding was sufficient.

Ji Yuan also retrieved the Frost Serpent from the Cloud Rain Marsh.

On this trip, there might be occasions to use it, and even if not, it needed to be carefully nurtured for its advancement to a Tier Two Demon Beast.

Once everything was ready, Ji Yuan went to All Things Island, found Bai Piao, and talked with him for a whole day.

The next day, Ji Yuan, piloting the Flying Boat, looked back at Mist Island.

This departure, who knows when the next return will be.

But to enhance strength, it was all worth it, just as Hua Yaoyue had said, mere stagnation ultimately leads to a dead end.

If capable of enduring, endure; when necessary to kill, kill!

“Off we go.”

Ji Yuan thought to himself and then urged the Sky Raider, heading straight south.

…

Two months later.

Ji Yuan, who had used five Transformation Talismans to change identities five times, finally arrived at the Great Love City within the territory of Joy Palace without incident.

Since entering the territory of Joy Palace, Ji Yuan had visited several cities.

These cities, including the present Great Love City, were the same.

The most obvious feeling for Ji Yuan was… many dual cultivation grounds. Such dual cultivation grounds are not only filled with many Female Cultivators but also lots of male cultivators.

They practice this dual cultivation technique, which is mutually beneficial.

“It’s a pity that when I crossed over, I ended up in the territory of the Water Dragon Sect. If there were another chance to cross over, it ought to be to a place like Joy Palace.”

Ji Yuan mused randomly.

The secondary impression was—chaos!

The literal chaos—very chaotic. Whether it’s the abundance of Tribulation Cultivators or the frequent magical combats.

Since Ji Yuan came south and into the region of Joy Palace, he could clearly feel the increase in magical combats, even within the city.

It truly had that sense of, if you don’t like someone, you start a fight.

Fortunately, he considered himself somewhat of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and ordinary cultivators would respectfully address him as “senior.”

Mostly he encountered no danger.

Upon arriving in Great Love City, Ji Yuan first found a place to stay, then wandered around the city for three days to gather information.

Three days later, he returned to the courtyard where he was staying.

He summarized the information he had obtained and compared it with the information he received from Bai Piao.

Great Love City officially has 20 Foundation Establishment Cultivators, 15 of whom are disciples of the Joy Palace, and the remaining 5 are resident Loose Cultivators.

Occasionally, Golden Core Zhenren from Joy Palace came to garrison there.

This setup alone was enough to indicate that Great Love City is a major city.

Like the Lishui City that Ji Yuan had guarded before, there were only three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and they were all official members of the Water Dragon Sect, with no Loose Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level.

Additionally, there was news about the Ghost Seeking Cave, which was the primary destination for Ji Yuan’s trip.

That place… was renowned not only in Great Love City but throughout the entire Joy Palace territory, enough people knew of it.

To be precise, the Ghost Seeking Cave is actually a gray area.

Because inside, there are not only Demon Cultivators but also several Righteous Cultivators who, being chased, fled there. Furthermore, many Demon Beasts inhabit it, capable of producing Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, cultivators who venture inside seeking cultivation resources are not uncommon.
