Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 824: Chapter 341: Qiu Qianhai: “I’ve Become the Old Demon Qiu?!

I suppose the big heist I pulled off before leaving Cangluo Continent might spread.

The news might even reach Jiyuan Continent.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, the best solution is to change my name again.

Li Changshou sounds good.

The name gives off a steady vibe.

“Li Changshou?”

Mu Xueyao thought for a moment, “Alright then, if there are outsiders around, I’ll call you Brother Li, if not, I’ll call you Brother Ji!”

… Are you planning to follow me?

Ji Yuan was quite helpless, but this wasn’t the time to discuss it. He continued to ask, “I heard you mention earlier that Old Demon Ji only spoke in elegant speech, while the three Core Formation cultivators who were chasing you spoke differently. What’s going on?”

Once Mu Xueyao accepted Brother Ji’s “amnesia,” nothing seemed unacceptable anymore.

So she immediately replied, “It’s because we are speaking elegant speech now, but here in Jiyuan Continent, almost nobody speaks elegant speech. They speak the local dialect of Jiyuan Continent, which is what Brother Ji heard before.”

… So that’s it. Looks like Old Demon Ji is quite pretentious.

Everyone else speaks in dialect, but you persist with elegant speech.

If you meet someone with a short temper, who else would they target?

But clearly, Ji Yuan isn’t that pretentious. After hearing Mu Xueyao’s words, he immediately said, “So, why doesn’t Miss Mu… teach me the dialect of Jiyuan Continent, then?”

First step to integrating into Jiyuan Continent.

Start by learning their language!

“Sure, I don’t see why not,”

Mu Xueyao replied with a cheerful smile.

But at the same time, she felt something was off… Could it be that Brother Ji truly lost his memory?

Why do I feel like he truly knows nothing, remembers nothing?

His personality even seems to have changed, becoming cautious and careful, needing to hide his identity, ha, won’t I be the only one who knows Brother Ji’s true identity?

No other wench will know!

As for Ji Yuan not being Old Demon Ji, Mu Xueyao was slightly skeptical, but not much, just like she said earlier.

Same name, same appearance, same power… if it’s not him, who else could it be?

’Probably he went through some things, turning from Old Demon Ji into Li Changshou. That’s definitely what happened.’

“Actually, our Jiyuan Continent language isn’t much different from elegant speech…”

So over the next half-month, Ji Yuan did nothing but wholeheartedly learn a foreign language from Mu Xueyao.

Fortunately, the two languages indeed had little difference. After half a month, Ji Yuan could fluently converse with Mu Xueyao in Jiyuan Continent dialect.

Hmm… Then, no one should suspect I’m Old Demon Ji.

Thinking about the Transformation Talisman in his Storage Bag and how he would have to rely on it in the future, Ji Yuan felt a bit drained.

’Damn it, better not let me find out who is impersonating me!’

’Or I’ll kill you!’

’Then I’ll show you what a true Old Demon Ji is!’

After venting, Ji Yuan, feeling refreshed, sat cross-legged and sensed the toxins and injuries within himself.

Great, all recovered!

A good man rises again.

He looked at Mu Xueyao, still quietly by his side, and pondered for a moment before softly asking, “Why were those three Core Formation cultivators from Celestial Killer Mountain hunting Miss Mu previously?”

“That…”

Mu Xueyao was instantly furious, “When I first arrived in Celestial Killer City, intending to trace Brother Ji’s whereabouts, a man claimed to know you and offered to take me to find you. I believed him back then, but quickly realized he was deceiving me, intending to make me his furnace instead.”

“I pretended to go along, and at a crucial moment, severed his descendants!”

As she spoke, Mu Xueyao pulled out a spiritual artifact-level pair of scissors, cutting the air with vigor, making Ji Yuan feel a chill below.

“Who was he? Could he be the Young Master of Celestial Killer Mountain?”

Ji Yuan inquired.

Mu Xueyao put the scissors away, lowered her head shyly, and quietly replied, “No, he was the grandson of an elder from Black and White Divine Hall, visiting Celestial Killer Mountain as a guest.”

Ji Yuan: “…”

So, instead of offending Celestial Killer Mountain only, you actually offended Black and White Divine Hall.

You are truly something!

“What is the cultivation of the elder from Black and White Divine Hall?”

“Nas… Nascent Soul, perhaps.”

Mu Xueyao felt increasingly awkward, though her eyes showed no signs of regret.

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, “It’s fine, we’ll just hide.”

Sighing deeply, he continued asking, “Is there any major city nearby?”

“Yes!”

Mu Xueyao, like a child, raised her right hand, “Going east from here, southwest of Celestial Killer Mountain, lies the largest city in Land of the Far West, West Border City!”

“In West Border City, even Celestial Killer Mountain wouldn’t dare make a move.”

“Brother Ji… You plan to attempt Core Formation there?”

Given Mu Xueyao’s early-stage Core Formation cultivation, she naturally witnessed Ji Yuan’s exposed cultivation when he previously unleashed his full power.

A fake pill.

Moreover, he was a cultivator at the pinnacle of the fake pill, ready to retreat for Core Formation at any time.

Now seeking a large city, all indicating that Old Demon Ji intended to undergo Core Formation.

Core Formation…

Ji Yuan felt dazed hearing the phrase.

Because previously, whenever mentioning these words, he referred to others, but now, someone used them to describe him.
