Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 105 The Talisman Treasure is in Hand [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

If he really is a cultivator from the Water Dragon Sect, then I can barely believe one or two out of ten.

But if it's a demonic cultivator, then twelve out of ten parts can't be trusted.

After all, Ji Yuan didn't consider himself a pure righteous cultivator. The Yin Ghost Banner always exuded overwhelming Yin energy... Just like now, if he really wanted to save this Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would definitely have to reveal his true identity and say that he was Ji Yuan, the kind who was about to join the Water Dragon Sect.

But if it's something else...

"Excuse me, I am Qiu Qianhai, a rogue cultivator from Qingshan City!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are indeed cautious. Let's wait and see."

Suddenly, Ji Yuan saw a coiled water dragon phantom appear in the mist to his right, which was the symbol of the Water Dragon Sect.

Upon seeing this thing, Ji Yuan was already 80-90% convinced.

But he still didn't move. "If you were a demonic cultivator, and you obtained the storage bag of a senior from my Water Dragon Sect, wouldn't you also be able to use this sect's token?"

"Heh...hehe, fellow Daoist, you should be careful indeed."

Li Changhe's voice grew increasingly weak, suggesting he was nearing his limit.

"In less than a month, the Water Dragon Sect will be selecting... you..."

He didn't even finish his telepathic message before falling silent.

Damn it, he's dead... Ji Yuan panicked. This time, he didn't hesitate and immediately summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat to the location where the phantom had appeared.

In just a short while, Ji Yuan met the Foundation Establishment senior Li Changhe, who had been communicating telepathically, on the sandy shore.

Just as he himself said, it really felt like he had reached his limit.

His robes were torn, he was covered in blood, and there looked like a hole had been stabbed in his lower abdomen. His original flying boat artifact had also broken in the middle and fallen to the side.

With injuries like these... if any Qi Refining cultivator were here, they probably wouldn't have been able to save him.

Fortunately, he met Ji Yuan.

He carried several kilograms of blood essence with him, and having just killed Yue Zhu, he had obtained almost all of the Yue family's treasures... including a considerable number of healing pills.

Although these pills are all first-tier pills, and the injured person is a Foundation Establishment cultivator... a Foundation Establishment cultivator's body is still a body, at most the effects will be less.

Rather than having no effect.

The thought flashed through Ji Yuan's mind, and he landed beside Li Changhe, feeling his pulse, which was almost non-existent.

He dared not delay and immediately took out three Qi and Blood Pills and stuffed them into Li Changhe's mouth, while simultaneously using spiritual energy to guide them into his body.

As the effects of the medicine spread, Li Changhe's pulse immediately became stronger.

But this strength only lasted for a short while before it became weak again.

The medicine wasn't potent enough, and most of its potency must have leaked out from the wound in his lower abdomen rather than been absorbed by his body... In that case, we'll probably have to resort to a stronger medicine.

Ji Yuan did not hesitate any longer.

If we can save their lives, we will have truly performed a great act of kindness.

If they can't be saved, then just pack your things and run away.

Before making a decision, Ji Yuan would have many concerns, but once he made up his mind, he would act decisively without hesitation.

So he took out a pound of blood essence and piled it on the wound in Li Changhe's lower abdomen. Perhaps it pressed on the painful spot, because even the unconscious Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't help but shiver.

Ji Yuan then fed him three more Qi and Blood Pills.

The medicine took effect this time, and it even seemed to be absorbing the blood essence placed on the wound.

Ji Yuan then fed him another handful of pills to restore his spiritual energy.

Once Li Changhe's spiritual energy recovers somewhat, he can at least heal his injuries.

However, his injuries are too severe right now, so Ji Yuan doesn't dare to move him casually, otherwise he would definitely have to be moved to another location... A Foundation Establishment battle has just taken place here, which will probably attract a lot of people.

However, Misty Island cannot be taken along; it is his secret base.

It would be best to get away from this foggy area and find a small island for Li Changhe to recuperate.

Two days later, seeing that Li Changhe's injuries had finally stabilized, Ji Yuan summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat, broke out of the fog, and after traveling south for half a day, occupied an uninhabited island.

They stayed there for ten days.

The pound of blood essence used to treat Li Changhe's wounds has been used up, and his external injuries have healed, with some areas even starting to scab over.

As for the injuries inside his body... Ji Yuan couldn't see them, and dared not examine them casually.

In short, the person was saved.

There was nothing more he could do to help with the rest.

The next morning, Ji Yuan, who was still cultivating, suddenly heard a soft groan. He immediately withdrew from his cultivation state and turned to look at the living dead who had been lying there for more than ten days.

"cough--"

Li Changhe coughed violently, expelling a blood clot that had been accumulating in his throat for a long time. Only then did he slowly open his eyes and begin to breathe greedily.

It's like savoring the fruits of victory after surviving a near-death experience.

Ji Yuan didn't move, but silently guided the flying boat in the storage bag.

If anything goes wrong, run away immediately.

Li Changhe seemed unaware of the situation. He lay there for a while before his previously dazed eyes regained their focus, and he seemed to come to his senses.

He struggled to sit up, his gaze immediately falling on Ji Yuan.

He grinned.

"I, Li Changhe, am able to see the sunrise today entirely thanks to you, fellow Daoist."

Ji Yuan cupped his hands in greeting and smiled slightly, "That's because you are incredibly fortunate, senior. I just happened to be passing by that place that day while hunting demonic beasts, and that's how I managed to save you."

"We're destined to be together."

As Li Changhe spoke, he seemed to check his storage bag before letting out a long sigh and leaning back again.

"Some time ago, I was asked by the sect elders to search for traces of demonic cultivators near our Water Dragon Sect. I never expected to catch such a big fish in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If I hadn't met you, I would have almost been caught off guard."

"Demonic cultivators..." Ji Yuan muttered, then asked softly, "May I ask, senior, are you a demonic cultivator from the Joyful Palace? I heard in Yunyuze that our Water Dragon Sect and the Joyful Palace are locked in a fierce battle."

If that's the case, Ji Yuan will have to consider whether or not to join the Water Dragon Sect.

It hasn't been long, and the Joyful Palace has already driven them to the vicinity of the sect. What hope is there for them now?

"The Joyful Palace can't be considered a true demonic sect, and our relationship with the Joyful Palace is just a matter of spiritual vein friction, nothing serious. Sometimes we're even on the same side."

What affected all the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in Yunyuze was described by Li Changhe as nothing major... Moreover, the fierce power struggle between the Water Dragon Sect and Huanxi Palace was actually due to the spiritual veins.

This is normal; the struggle for spiritual veins is the real big deal in the cultivation world.

If a building with a [spiritual vein] could appear inside my building, how powerful would that be? It seems that when I become stronger in the future, I'll have to seize a [spiritual vein] to play with... Ji Yuan was full of fantasies.

Li Changhe didn't say anything more, so Ji Yuan didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Don't ask too many questions, lest you get yourself into trouble.

"Oh, right, I haven't had a chance to ask who you are yet?"

Li Changhe seemed to only then remember and asked.

Ji Yuan stepped forward to make himself more visible to the other party. "I am Ji Yuan, a rogue cultivator from Yun Yuze. Greetings, Senior Li."

"Yun Yuze? He's already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he still hasn't joined our Water Dragon Sect?"

"The Water Dragon Sect's selection process will be held in a few days, and I'm preparing to participate... I simply didn't have the strength before."

Ji Yuan said regretfully.

"The Water Dragon Sect's selection process doesn't need to be this complicated."

Li Changhe casually tossed over a jade pendant with the words "Water Dragon" written on it in a flamboyant style, and the character "Immortal" engraved in relief on the back.

"This is our Water Dragon Sect's Ascension Token. Take it to any island of our Water Dragon Sect, and they will arrange for you to join the sect."

"this……"

Ji Yuan looked at the jade pendant in his hand; it would be a lie to say he wasn't pleasantly surprised.

To outsiders, joining the Water Dragon Sect, a sect that required immense effort, was incredibly difficult, yet he had obtained its Ascension Token without even having to participate in the selection process.

You can join whenever you want.

"Don't worry, my father is Elder Li Gang of the Water Dragon Sect. I'm not lying to you."

Seeing Ji Yuan's somewhat incredulous expression, Li Changhe smiled and explained.

The elders of the Water Dragon Sect... wouldn't they be Golden Core cultivators?

Ji Yuan quickly cupped his hands in thanks and said again, "Thank you, Senior Li."

"You saved my life, why call me senior? Just call me Brother Li." Li Changhe waved his hand. "Just join the sect as soon as possible. If you encounter anything in the sect, you can come to me and I'll take care of it for you."

As he spoke, he tossed over a golden communication talisman.

Ji Yuan quickly caught it with both hands.

Li Changhe added, "But you must remember that you must be in the right. If you violate the sect's rules..."

"At most, I can only keep you alive."

Ji Yuan smiled and put away the communication talisman. "Brother Li is joking. I'm not one to cause trouble, let alone violate any sect rules."

"That's true."

Thinking of Ji Yuan's cautious demeanor earlier, Li Changhe looked him up and down several times.

"At this age, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining is not bad. Come find me again when you reach the peak of Qi Refining, and I'll give you a few Foundation Establishment Pills. Prepare one or two for yourself then. Although you have a pseudo-spiritual root, a pseudo-spiritual root doesn't mean you have no chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage..."

As Li Changhe was speaking, his voice grew softer and softer, and then he looked up at the sky and clouds.

"The sect's people are here looking for me. Do you want to meet with them, or avoid them?"

Li Changhe had noticed Ji Yuan's previously steady nature, so he took the initiative to ask him for his thoughts.

Ji Yuan pondered the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Water Dragon Sect. He thought that it was enough for Li Changhe to know about the favor he had done for him. If many people knew, it probably wouldn't be a good thing for him.

If we are targeted by some malicious individuals, it will be even more troublesome.

"I'll go first. I'll meet Brother Li again when I get to the Water Dragon Sect."

Ji Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.

The answer was not what Li Changhe expected, so he just smiled and nodded.

Just as Ji Yuan summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat to leave underwater, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, may I ask if you have the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill? May I take a look?"

"A pill formula? What do you need this for... Oh, I forgot, you should have a pseudo-spiritual root."

Li Changhe gently patted his forehead. "When I was building my foundation, my father gave me a Foundation Building Pill and I succeeded. I never thought about getting this stuff. Here's what I'll do: when I go back to the Water Dragon Sect, I'll get you a copy. Contact me when you join the Water Dragon Sect."

Damn it, you managed to fool me... Ji Yuan smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you in advance, Brother Li."

As he was about to leave, Li Changhe tossed him another talisman shimmering with a bluish light.

"Um?"

Ji Yuan accepted it with both hands, but there was some confusion in his eyes.

He himself was a talisman master, so he could tell that this talisman... was not quite right. The power flowing within it was not the power of runes, but rather something like a magical artifact.

"The Fubao Sky-Escape Shuttle: Judging from your cowardly nature, with this thing, as long as you prepare in advance, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator won't be able to kill you."

Li Changhe said with a smile, "But I've used up a lot of the power inside, and now I can only use it once. Remember to cherish it."

A talisman... a talisman treasure?!

Thank you so much, Immortal, for the generous donation of 10000 spirit stones!
