Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 814: Chapter 338: Qiu Qianhai Returns to Cangluo

Sensing the surge of blood Qi within his body, Ji Yuan glanced at his hand injury, which had completely healed.

As for the internal injuries, Ji Yuan’s physique at the Muscle Forging Realm, combined with the prolonged consumption of Profound Sun Blood Amber, made it difficult for any hidden injuries to develop.

He first sensed the strength of his powerful physique.

Mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm, whether it be power, reaction, or defense, it was significantly stronger compared to before.

After all, when simply comparing realms, the mid-stage Muscle Forging Realm could wrestle with those at the mid-stage Core Formation.

For a moment, Ji Yuan was even more eager for his strength after Magic Power Core Formation.

By then, it will surely be a qualitative breakthrough.

Especially having acquired a Miracle Treasure like Zhudian and methods like Yin Corpse Demon Fire.

No matter what, upon leaving Fallen Immortal Gully, the first thing is to find a place, close-door cultivation, and form the core after locating Du Wanyi!

The world is vast, but forming the core is paramount!

Then Ji Yuan inquired Tu Yue, learning that his period of closed-door cultivation had consumed nearly a month.

Given this, he intended to first inform Yu Yuan, comforting them, and inquire if they had any method to extract stone.

Otherwise, Ji Yuan thought relying on himself to slowly grind away the stone might take a very long time.

One should always hope for the best, start by asking.

With this thought, Ji Yuan withdrew from the Mountain of Mind and Heart, summoning his Lifebound Magical Treasure into his Dantian with a casual gesture.

He surveyed the surrounding stone walls, contemplating before summoning the Yin Corpse Demon Fire again, burning every part of the cave.

Unfortunately, there was no familiar mark appearing.

This meant that the opportunity at this place was only the Miracle Treasure Zhudian.

After confirming no issues around, Ji Yuan approached the door, first using Divine Sense to inspect the situation outside the sea gully.

“Great, everything is safe!”

Ji Yuan opened a gap in the door, slipped through, closed the door, and swiftly passed through the sea gully, returning to the cave of the Merfolk Race, traveling securely along the passage.

Upon meeting Yu Yuan again, this elder Merfolk was trembling with emotion.

Ji Yuan noticed that during his absence, Yu Yuan seemed to have aged significantly.

“Brother Ji, you finally returned.”

Yu Yuan held him, his voice slightly trembling.

“Has something happened?” Ji Yuan sat down nearby.

“Not really, just that you never returned, and I couldn’t rest my mind. If anything happened to you, how could I explain to the tribe.”

Yu Yuan sighed deeply.

“It’s good you returned, good you returned.”

“As for the sea beast, if it can’t be solved, never mind. In the future, we can slowly figure a way, worst case… abandoning the ancestral land!”

Yu Yuan spoke through gritted teeth.

Uncertain whether he was resenting the sea beast or his past self.

Ji Yuan leisurely crossed his legs.

“No worries, the sea beast has been dealt with.”

“What… what? Dealt with?”

Yu Yuan exclaimed in disbelief.

“Otherwise, why would I stay so long in the ancestral land.” Ji Yuan said, coughing a few times, “The sea beast was quite challenging, I was heavily injured, later recovered by the Spirit Liquid inside.”

“No worries, no worries, the Spirit Liquid has served its best by helping senior.”

Yu Yuan was astute.

Whether Ji Yuan was injured or not, the Spirit Liquid was now in his hands.

He couldn’t demand it back.

Under such conditions, he naturally spoke flattering words.

“By the way, those stones in the ancestral land, the ones you used to contain Spirit Liquid… any way to extract them? I tried, very hard.”

Ji Yuan didn’t dwell on the Spirit Liquid issue.

After all… he’d cleaned the stones, further talk felt inappropriate.

He quickly shifted the topic.

“Yes, there is.”

On this matter, Yu Yuan showed pride, “An ancestral method was left to apply concocted juice on the knife, making cutting stone as easy as slicing tofu.”

“Oh? There’s such a juice.”

Ji Yuan curiously responded.

“Indeed, let us know your needs, we’ll certainly provide.”

“Hmm…”

Ji Yuan shyly smiled, “The more, the better.”

Yu Yuan’s smile turned slightly awkward, quickly concealed.

He thought the Spirit Liquid was already given away, what’s another little unpaid stone?

So then Ji Yuan detailed his request.

Firstly, obtaining the recipe for the juice, upon realizing he couldn’t assemble it, he requested Yu Yuan to concoct it and provide it.

Next was stone extraction, coffin-sized stones, five pieces, and a house-sized giant stone.

With the juice, he could cut what he needed later.

Mainly the coffin-sized ones, Ji Yuan intended to use them for emergency escape, digging a hole, lying in the coffin, wearing the conical hat, and burying himself.

Perfect!

Hearing Ji Yuan’s request, Yu Yuan had no objection, promptly leading the young and strong of the Merfolk Race to action.

Ji Yuan returned to his Cave Mansion.

After a few more months of closed cultivation, it is time to head to the Immortal Sect.
