Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 854: Chapter 347: [Celestial Craft Square: Level 3]

So he could utter such words.

Seeing the battle resolved, Ji Yuan dared not delay. He immediately summoned the Canglan Sword, swiftly harvesting the mature Ice Flame Fire Lotus with one strike.

He then carefully stored it in a Jade Box, and only after placing it in his Storage Bag did he feel at ease.

Otherwise, the large commotion from the battle could have easily attracted the attention of other Core Formation cultivators, and if that happened, it would indeed be troublesome.

But within just a breath, the Yin Corpse was finally consumed by the Demon Fire, which seemed to grow stronger after burning a Core Formation stage Yin Corpse!

“The Yin Corpse Demon Fire, by burning Yin Corpses, can actually strengthen itself? It seems that in the future, if it’s feasible, I should find more Yin Corpses to incinerate them. In a way, it’s even helping them find peace.”

“Ding—”

After the Yin Corpse Demon Fire burned out, something fell from the Yin Corpse’s body, emitting a crisp sound.

“Hmm—”

Ji Yuan gestured with his hand, and the item flew into his grasp.

A token, carved in the shape of a skull, perhaps due to being burned by the Yin Corpse Demon Fire, felt cold to the touch, with no aura emanating from it.

Yet Ji Yuan sensed a very familiar feeling from this token.

The source of that feeling… was because Ji Yuan had seen this token before!

When he killed the Peak of Core Formation Demon Cultivator above the Fallen Immortal Gully, he had obtained a token just like this from him.

At that time, even the endless gale above the Fallen Immortal Gully couldn’t damage this token.

Later on, Ji Yuan learned through a Skull Ring that this token also originated from the Yin Ghost Sect… and finally, he learned from Hu Li that the Yin Ghost Sect indeed came from the Jiyuan Continent.

“The items related to the Yin Ghost Sect, apart from those Magic-related items like the Yin Ghost Banner that can be handed down and crafted, just counting the artifacts, I have two Skull Rings and an additional Skull Token.”

“I got one Skull Ring from Cloud Rain Marsh and one from Ghost Seeking Cave, but ultimately these two Skull Rings merged into one.”

“And this token I got from the Demon Cultivator at the Fallen Immortal Gully, and now I’ve obtained a second token. I wonder if these tokens can also merge into one?”

Ji Yuan thought about trying it later, but realized that now was not the appropriate time.

He put away the Skull Token and took a final look at the remaining root of the Ice Flame Fire Lotus in the Cold Pool… given time, this root would surely grow into a second Ice Flame Fire Lotus.

But by then, he most likely wouldn’t be around, so what was the point of waiting to leave it for someone else?!

Ji Yuan extended his right hand, and four Flying Sword embryos appeared in his hand, diving into the Cold Pool.

After a sound of cutting through the rock, the four Flying Swords brought back the root of the Ice Flame Fire Lotus with its roots full and intact. Ji Yuan then filled a Jade Basin with some Cold Pool Water, adding three drops of Ice Soul Cold Dew to it, before securing the Jade Basin to take along.

Finally, he used his Divine Sense to check the cave thoroughly, ensuring nothing was left behind before he withdrew the Yin Ghost Banner and the Thousand Souls Banner behind him, then transformed into Escape Light to leave the place.

But just as he emerged from the cave, his Divine Sense detected two trails of Escape Light rapidly approaching from the north, and before they could even get close, a loud shout resonated in the air!

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Celestial Killer Mountain?!”

On hearing this, Ji Yuan’s heart stirred.

’Celestial Killer Mountain cultivators? They’re rather presumptuous, it’s just a pretext to openly seize treasures!’

’Hmph, shameless Demon Cultivators!’

Before Ji Yuan could escape, one of the trails of Escape Light accelerated abruptly, instantly surrounding him front and back.

… Isn’t this Escape Technique the same as the one I encountered when I just left the Fallen Immortal Gully, used by three Celestial Killer Mountain Core Formation cultivators?

This sudden burst of speed in the Escape Technique seems to be genuinely impressive, highly useful whether for escaping or chasing, I should find an opportunity to get it myself.

As Ji Yuan’s mind raced with thoughts, he also discerned the aura of these two Core Formation cultivators.

Both from front and back were in the mid-stage Core Formation.

Facing Ji Yuan, an early-stage Core Formation cultivator… they probably considered it an easy win.

“You look unfamiliar, hardly like one of my Celestial Killer Mountain cultivators!”

The person ahead of Ji Yuan said in a deep voice.

The one behind immediately followed up: “No need for more words, daring to cause chaos in my Celestial Killer Mountain territory, just kill him!”

“Heh, no wonder Celestial Killer Mountain produces Great Cultivators, when will our Soul Refining Hall be so domineering, those who know will understand, those who don’t… might think you two belong to the Black and White Divine Hall.” Ji Yuan said hoarsely.

As soon as the name “Soul Refining Hall” was mentioned, the two hesitated.

Without needing words, Ji Yuan could tell they were considering whether to act due to the potential consequences.

Before they could make a decision.

Ji Yuan snapped his fingers.

“Snap—”

A green fire ring suddenly appeared behind him, the chilling aura enveloping the area.

Ji Yuan glanced at them both, smiling slightly: “Perfect timing, recently acquired the ancestor’s Secret Technique and surprisingly cultivated this Yin Corpse Demon Fire… why not have the two of you test its edge, how about it?”

“Let’s go!”

Everyone who knows the name of this Yin Corpse Demon Fire, especially Demon Cultivators!

With that Demon Fire present, even if it were a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, they would likely have to avoid its edge and find another strategy!

No choice, this Demon Fire… is just too ruthless.

“Heh—”

Watching the two trails of Escape Light leaving, Ji Yuan sneered coldly in his heart… they call themselves Core Formation Zhenren?
