Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 100 My Own Home [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Although Ji Yuan had only been away for four or five days, he never expected that a major event would occur in Zengtou City.

When he returned to his lakeside cabin, it was already close to evening.

The setting sun cast its light on the water, creating shimmering waves... Gazing at this beautiful scene, Ji Yuan couldn't resist letting the flying boat land on the lake, shattering the pool of gold foil.

Just as he reached his doorstep, he ran into Lin Hu, who had just returned from selling fish at the fish market. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Lin Hu quickly lowered his voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Ji, you have no idea what happened in Zengtou City while you were away!"

"Oh?"

Ji Yuan put away the Thunder Falcon Boat and asked, "What is it?"

"The Qin family... is gone!"

Lin Hu gritted his teeth, then relaxed his clenched fist, his voice filled with barely concealed surprise.

"The Qin family is gone too?"

Admittedly, Ji Yuan was also somewhat surprised to hear this. He hadn't even made a move yet, so how come the Qin family was already gone?

"Who did it?"

Ji Yuan asked.

Lin Hu pondered for a moment upon hearing the question before saying, "It should be said that Zengtou City was the one who made the move, because it wasn't just one person, but many people who had been bullied by the Qin family who acted together."

Ji Yuan understood immediately upon hearing this.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

Just those two simple sentences.

"Didn't Qin Long and He Laosan join the Water Dragon Sect? They're not dead. Aren't those who attacked them afraid they'll come back for revenge?"

Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

"Brother Ji, you might not know this." Lin Hu shook his head. "There's been a rumor circulating in Zengtou City lately. I don't know if it's true or not, but they all say that this batch of cultivators who joined the Water Dragon Sect were sent to the front lines as cannon fodder, fighting to the death with the Joyful Palace."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ji Yuan was quite surprised, and after seemingly thinking it over carefully, he nodded, "That's not impossible."

"Brother Ji, haven't you heard any news?"

Lin Hu asked in a low voice. In his opinion, the person with the highest cultivation level that he could come into contact with was Ji Yuan.

"No, I've been practicing at home lately and haven't inquired about these things."

Ji Yuan smiled and then returned home.

The Qin family is gone, and it's not even my turn to take action... Ji Yuan felt a bit emotional at that moment. Actually, if you think about it carefully, what is the best way to take revenge in the cultivation world?

It's because you outlive the other person.

Instead of fighting and killing.

Fighting and killing carries the risk of death, but as long as you live long enough, you can watch the other party rise and fall... just like Old Man Huang at the very beginning.

He also killed the original owner's parents.

But before Ji Yuan could make a move, he died on his own.

The Qin family is in a similar situation now. Before Ji Yuan could even make a move, the Qin family had already been wiped out for various reasons...

"call--"

You just have to live a long life, live a long life, and you won't even have to lift a finger to get revenge.

If you live a long life, you can sit back and watch others rise and fall in this world.

Only by living long can one witness the vicissitudes of life.

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan let out a long breath. When he looked up again, Tu Yue, who had sensed his presence, was already standing at the door. Although she was as still as a wooden stake, from another perspective, she was also extremely obedient.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be so willing to work so hard to raise chickens and pigs for me.

"Let's go, it's time to move."

Ji Yuan sighed softly.

Tu Yue responded with silence.

Since the decision to move has been made, these building elements are actually the easiest to deal with; all building effects can be turned off with just a thought.

The remaining spirit fish, water chickens, and spirit porpoises are also easy to handle.

Just kill them all.

Moreover, Ji Yuan doesn't plan to sell them this time. He'll pack them all in storage bags and take them with him, either to keep for himself or to use to appease the big toad.

If I were to raise another one, I would definitely have to buy a new one.

Ji Yuan had also carefully examined the map of the area. The closest place to the island, Blackwater Village, was only about half a day's journey for him even when flying at full speed.

I'll just spend a few more days buying it then.

Ji Yuan, who is still young, has no shortage of time.

The next morning, Ji Yuan had already finished dealing with things at home, and even Tu Yue had been put into his storage bag. He finally went to the fishpond in the backyard.

The unknown spiritual seed planted earlier had already sprouted, but it was growing extremely slowly. Even with the blessing of the Jiyuan Panel, it had only grown a stem and two tender leaves.

No one can tell what kind of thing it is.

We can only take them to the island to continue raising them.

After putting the small piece of spirit field and a piece of spirit soil into his storage bag, Ji Yuan looked around the courtyard where he had lived for several years. It would be a lie to say that he was not reluctant to leave.

Once he leaves, it's basically impossible for him to come back and live here again.

But Ji Yuan had also figured it out last night. It's already May, and he'll be heading to the Water Dragon Sect at the latest in February next year.

It will be at most 7 months from now.

If I cancel the lease on the backyard after 7 months and only rent the front yard, it will only cost me 21 spirit stones in 7 months, which is the price of drawing a talisman.

Since that's the case, there's no need to back out.

If something really happens, I can come back here to stay.

This would also make it easier for Du Wanyi and the others to find him, saving them the trouble of asking where he had gone.

Spending the spirit stone of a talisman to solve so many troubles is certainly worthwhile, so when Ji Yuan was about to leave, he went to the fish market to prepay the immortal residence fee for the next 7 months.

As he walked to the door, he called Lin Hu out.

"Brother Ji."

Lin Hu rubbed his hands together, still wearing that same smiling expression.

"For the next few months, I'll probably be hunting monsters in the Cloud Rain Marsh, so I won't be home much. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell them, or you can just give them a message."

Ji Yuan found the most appropriate and reasonable excuse.

Hunting monsters is the most common thing fishermen in Yunyuze do. For example, Luo Tian used to stay in Yunyuze and hunt monsters with water mines.

"Huh? Brother Ji, you're leaving?"

Lin Hu said subconsciously.

"I'm not leaving. I'll definitely come back. My home is here."

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Alright, that's enough for now. I still need to say a few words to Brother Wen. You should go and pack up too."

Lin Hu returned home in a daze. Ji Yuan was rarely home for the next few months. Once those months were over, when the Water Dragon Sect held its selection next year, he would definitely have to go to the Water Dragon Sect.

In other words, the time I spent with Brother Ji was already over.

Although he had been prepared, Lin Hu still felt somewhat upset upon hearing this.

Over the years, Ji Yuan has always been his psychological support, whether he goes out fishing, goes to Zengtou City, or stays at home.

Just the thought of Brother Ji being there brought him immense peace of mind.

But now, Ji Yuan is leaving... This feeling really made him feel uncomfortable.

Ji Yuan then knocked on the Wen family's gate again. When Wen Lin came out, he repeated the same words, but he said a few more words to Wen Lin.

"I have never forgotten what Brother Wen entrusted to me. Rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation before joining the Water Dragon Sect."

Wen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but outwardly smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'll just follow Brother Ji's arrangements."

Perhaps hearing Ji Yuan talking outside, Wen Ling'er, who got up early, peeked out from behind the door and curiously looked around.

"Um."

Ji Yuan glanced at Wen Ling'er first, then turned to look at his own yard. After two years of careful cultivation, the branches of the two peach trees had grown outside the yard wall.

You can still see unripe summer peaches.

"I definitely won't be able to make it back when the peaches are ripe. I'll have to trouble you, Brother Wen, to pick some for Ling'er. You can also share some with Lin Hu's family."

"I've been cultivating it for two years, and the taste is already excellent; it won't be sour anymore."

"it is good."

Wen Lin nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I'll take my leave."

Ji Yuan bowed slightly, then nodded to Wen Ling'er and said with a smile, "I'll bring you food next time I come back."

"Great! Brother Ji is the best."

Wen Ling'er rushed out and hugged Ji Yuan's leg.

Now six years old, she is already as tall as Ji Yuan's thigh, and she no longer stutters like she did when she was little; instead, her speech is quite clear.

"Brother Ji, are you leaving?"

Wen Ling'er released her grip, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Don't worry, I just have to go out for a bit, I'll be back."

Ji Yuan, as usual, thought of patting Wen Ling'er's head, but she instinctively dodged away.

"Mother said that girls shouldn't let just anyone touch their heads!" Wen Ling'er said righteously, but after saying that, she leaned her little head closer and said with a grin, "But Brother Ji can touch them."

"Okay, okay."

Ji Yuan patted her head one last time before bowing to Wen Lin and saying, "I'm leaving! Take care, Brother Wen."

"Take care, Brother Ji."

Ji Yuan also needed to remind Du Wanyi on the way, so as not to worry her, so he summoned the flying boat and left.

The Wen father and daughter watched Ji Yuan's thunder falcon boat depart, and finally Wen Ling'er asked softly, "Father, will we ever see Brother Ji again?"

"Yes, it's definitely possible."

Wen Lin squatted down and said with a smile, "Ling'er, you'll have to get your spiritual roots tested next year too. Maybe you can even join the Water Dragon Sect with your brother Ji."

"..."

Ji Yuan stopped briefly at Tai'anfang and told Du Wanyi about his situation, telling her that she no longer needed to go to Zengtou City every month, and that if there was anything urgent, she could tell Lin Hu, and he would know when he got back.

Du Wanyi also suggested that she and Ji Yuan act together, saying that the two of them would be able to look out for each other in Yunyuze.

But Ji Yuan politely declined.

He couldn't possibly let outsiders know about the Misty Island.

After saying goodbye, Ji Yuan once again piloted his flying boat and left. It wasn't until the next day that he returned to the vicinity of Misty Island. After identifying the location of the cliff mountain, he piloted his flying boat and swooped down.

As he passed through the mist, he saw the giant clam perched atop the cliff.

It looked up and peered out, and when it saw Ji Yuan's flying boat, it shouted wildly.

"Croak—"

"Quack quack—"

"..."

Taking advantage of the moment it opened its mouth, Ji Yuan tossed a pound of spirit pig meat into its mouth, and it immediately stopped making noise, instead showing a look of enjoyment.

Ji Yuan pointed down the cliff again, then urged the flying boat to descend.

The giant toad quickly hopped and hopped after them.

Ji Yuan arrived at the place where the wooden house had been built earlier. Several days had passed, but the wooden house remained unchanged, indicating that the giant toad did indeed intend to accept him.

In that case… Ji Yuan looked around the dense forest island and felt completely at ease.

Having traveled through time for many years, it's time to build a home of my own!
