Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 130 The Number One in the Qi Refining Stage

Feng Yichen?!

What is he doing here?

For Ji Yuan, this name was extremely famous and well-known.

Which disciple of the Water Dragon Sect hasn't heard of Feng Yichen's great name?

Leaving aside his numerous titles such as the number one disciple of the Water Dragon Sect, or his many deeds, the fact that he killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator while practicing Qi Refining alone is enough to make him famous throughout Shangdong.

But shouldn't he be at Liancheng Mountain, representing the Water Dragon Sect in a fierce battle against the Medicine King Valley?

How did I end up here?

Moreover, judging from the fact that Dong Qian was able to discover his whereabouts, he should not have been hiding his identity.

Based on Ji Yuan's past experience, the sudden appearance of someone like Feng Yichen at the border of two sects is most likely not a good thing...

Ji Yuan looked at the black and white words on the white paper in his hand.

My mood is a little heavy.

He wanted to run away.

It's that simple.

He didn't want to get involved in whatever happened here next.

As for the Illusion Flower, I am fortunate to have it, and it is my fate to lose it.

There's no need to insist on getting it here; we can always wait.

As for strength, although Ji Yuan has now reached the Foundation Establishment stage and possesses the strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage, he doesn't think that means he can be reckless.

Quite the opposite.

Foundation Establishment cultivators have even more tricks up their sleeves, so we must be even more careful.

It took so long to get to this Old Locust Valley, and now they're saying they want to leave without getting anything.

While I myself am fine, what about Dong Qian...? Given her personality, she should be able to sense that things are not going well here, so she should also be thinking about running away.

That's one of the benefits of being with someone who shares your personality.

It can save a lot of trouble.

If he were with someone like Han Feiyu, he would most likely think about joining in the fun, or rather, making a big splash first.

"Knock knock knock—"

As Ji Yuan was thinking, someone knocked on his door.

"Junior brother, it's me."

Dong Qian's slightly magnetic voice rang out.

"Come in, senior sister."

Ji Yuan put aside his distracting thoughts, and Dong Qian pushed the door open and entered, then carefully closed it again... This scene looked just like they were having an affair.

"I've already asked Zhu Yue to go out and inquire about the Huanxin Flower for us."

That means there are no outsiders in the room, so you can talk freely.

"Senior Sister, how did you see Feng Yichen? What's he doing here?" Ji Yuan asked hurriedly.

I didn't see him.

Dong Qian shook her head.

"Um?"

Ji Yuan didn't quite understand what Dong Qian meant.

"When I was in the sect before, I did a mission with him, so we got to know each other. Just now, Zhu Yue and I were walking on the street when I suddenly heard his voice transmission. He asked me why I was here too."

Dong Qian told the whole story.

Ji Yuan's first reaction after hearing this was...

"Feng Yichen has reached the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

Transmitting sound is something only Foundation Establishment cultivators with divine sense can do. Since Feng Yichen can transmit sound, doesn't that mean he has reached Foundation Establishment?

"without."

Dong Qian's voice became more serious. She looked at Ji Yuan in front of her and said very seriously, "He had divine sense when he was in the Qi Refining stage."

"What?!"

This was the first time Ji Yuan had ever heard of someone in the Qi Refining stage having divine sense. In that case, it was quite normal for Feng Yichen to be able to kill someone in the Foundation Establishment stage.

He must either be extremely talented or have extraordinary opportunities.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to do such a heaven-defying thing.

Indeed, there are still countless talented people in the world... Even a small sect like the Water Dragon Sect is full of hidden talents.

Hmm... I'll have to think of a way when I get back, to see if I can build a new building, preferably one that will allow me to gain divine sense during my Qi Refining stage.

If all else fails, as a second choice, a building that can enhance one's spiritual awareness after establishing one's foundation is established.

"Yes, so my disguise had no effect on his divine sense. He saw through my identity and then asked me what I was doing here."

Dong Qian continued, "I was thinking of asking him why he was here, but I looked around and couldn't find him."

"Then he probably has some mission to complete and doesn't want to show his face."

Ji Yuan speculated.

"Yes, I think so too. And with him coming, it's probably not for anything good. This place is likely to become a hotbed of trouble... So I want to leave as soon as possible, which is why I asked Zhu Yue to go and find out some information for us. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

Dong Qian looked at Ji Yuan and asked.

I'm even more anxious than you think. I don't even want this Illusion Flower anymore. I want to just run away... Ji Yuan nodded and said, "That's very good. That's what I was thinking too."

"That's good."

Dong Qian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ji Yuan's answer.

"Then let's wait a little longer."

Ji Yuan channeled spiritual energy into his storage bag and was already inspecting his various belongings.

For example, the top-grade magic weapon Thunder Falcon Boat, or the talismanic treasure Sky Shuttle... If something really happens, whether you can win or not is another matter, but you must run fast.

We waited for about half an hour.

Zhu Yue hadn't returned yet, and Dong Qian was already getting ready to go out and check on her.

But before she could even move, a gentle voice rang in their ears at the same time.

"Junior Sister Dong, and this...Junior Brother, you must also be from our Water Dragon Sect, right? Could you two do me a small favor?"

Ji Yuan subconsciously exchanged a glance with Dong Qian after hearing this.

In this way, he knew who had come without needing to say anything more.

Feng Yichen!

"Senior Brother Feng, where are you?"

Dong Qian stood up and asked.

"Here."

The door suddenly opened, and Feng Yichen walked in carrying a figure in his arms. Upon closer inspection, the person was none other than Zhu Yue, who had just left.

Dong Qian quickly stepped forward and took Zhu Yue from her.

"Don't worry, it's alright. Old Locust Valley is a dangerous place nowadays, not suitable for smuggling. Your friend went to inquire about the Illusion Heart Flower and was targeted by the people from Medicine King Valley. I took the initiative and drugged her first."

Feng Yichen explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Dong Qian felt relieved and placed the unconscious Zhu Yue on the bed.

Feng Yichen's gaze then fell on Ji Yuan, and he said with a slight smile, "I haven't yet asked this junior brother's name."

"My name is Ji Yuan, and I greet Senior Brother Feng."

Ji Yuan used her real name this time.

As for his appearance, he guessed that Feng Yichen, who possessed divine sense, had already seen through it.

"Junior Brother Ji is indeed a handsome and ethereal figure, which I greatly admire."

Feng Yichen praised Ji Yuan's appearance... but mainly his cultivation level wasn't anything to praise. He himself was at the peak of Qi Refining, so it just didn't sound right to praise Ji Yuan, who was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Senior Brother Feng's name is also very well-known."

Ji Yuan followed the mutual praise of businesses.

Seeing that Dong Qian had also put Zhu Yue down and was coming over, Feng Yichen said seriously, "Actually, I came here on a mission from my sect. I never expected to meet Junior Sister Dong and Junior Brother Ji here. It seems that it is all fate."

Ji Yuan smiled but remained silent.

Dong Qian had no choice but to reply, "Did Senior Brother Feng just say he needed our help with something?"

"Exactly."

Feng Yichen nodded slightly and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's like this: the Medicine King Valley previously instructed Jian Zong to assassinate Liu Cangke of our Water Dragon Sect. You two should know about this, right?"

Ji Yuan and Dong Qian exchanged a glance.

They were both members of the Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association, and Liu Cangke was the association's leader.

How could I not know?

They both nodded.

"Since Medicine King Valley has already made the first mistake, they can't blame Water Dragon Sect for making the fifteenth."

"The sect then located Zhang Zehuai of Medicine King Valley, which is in this Old Locust Valley, so they sent me to kill him."

Feng Yichen directly stated his mission.

Ji Yuan had never heard of Zhang Zehuai, so he turned to look at Dong Qian.

The latter explained, "He can be considered the second best among the disciples of Medicine King Valley, second only to Jian Zong, who killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

No wonder they were chosen for the Water Dragon Sect's decapitation operation... Ji Yuan nodded slightly.

It seems that the news of the Nine Netherworld Cave Heaven's emergence is almost certain, to the point that the Water Dragon Sect has begun a decapitation operation to alleviate the pressure on its disciples inside.

"The favor that Senior Brother Feng asked us to do is... Let me make it clear first, Junior Brother Ji and I are both alchemists who are not good at fighting, so it would be difficult for us to help."

Dong Qian asked again.

Moreover, his one sentence effectively shut down the topic of joining the war, which put Ji Yuan at ease.

Sister Dong is the kind of person who will live a long life.

"Don't worry, killing Zhang Zehuai is nothing, there's no need to call for help."

Feng Yichen said with a smile, "Moreover, there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator here, but the sect found a rogue cultivator and lured him away, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to come here."

"So, what does Senior Brother mean?"

Ji Yuan finally spoke and asked.

That's right.

Feng Yichen took a deep breath before saying, "Although that Foundation Establishment cultivator has left, he still left quite a few Qi Refining disciples here, so I would like to ask you to help distract some of them."

"When I engage in combat, I will definitely have to finish it quickly. If it drags on until that Foundation Establishment cultivator returns, then things will be troublesome."

Ji Yuan refused to help lure away some disciples of Medicine King Valley.

Dong Qian also remained silent.

Feng Yichen seemed to have anticipated this, so he spoke again:

"Don't worry, you don't need to lift a finger. There's a Medicine King Valley warehouse about 20 miles north of here. It's usually guarded by only two Qi Refining disciples. Go over there and set it on fire for me, and we'll naturally send some people over to check it out."

"You don't need to fight those two guarding disciples. I have three complete sets of high-grade speed talismans. After you set the fire, stick these talismans on the flying boat, and they definitely won't be able to catch up."

As he spoke, Feng Yichen handed over three talismans that shimmered with a blue light.

Dong Qian was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to answer or not.

"You've come here to search for the Illusion Heart Flower, haven't you? I happen to have eight here, which I don't need, so I'll give them to my junior brothers and sisters as payment for this mission. How about it?"

Another opened jade box was handed over.

Ji Yuan looked down.

Inside the jade box lay eight blooming, silvery-white flowers, each petal adorned with gray and white stripes. Just looking at them gave Ji Yuan the feeling of being drawn into their beauty.

He quickly blinked, finally snapping out of the psychedelic effect.

Illusory Heart Flower.

It truly lives up to its reputation.

Ji Yuan never expected that the Illusionary Heart Flower, which he had been searching for for so long, would appear in front of him in such a way.

"In that case, Junior Brother Ji and I will do our best. Please be careful, Senior Brother Feng."

Dong Qian didn't insist any further and eventually agreed.

Ji Yuan also understands.

Feng Yichen's actions this time were quite generous; the reward was substantial, and he had made all the necessary arrangements for himself, so there was basically no danger.

Moreover, this mission must have been assigned by the sect's higher-ups, and it was only by chance that he encountered it here.

The other party spoke again.

It seems reasonable and emotional that we should help them.

Otherwise, to put it more negatively, if I didn't help him and Feng Yichen's mission failed, he could easily get into big trouble with just a few words from him.

Not to mention, his request was hardly a difficult thing at all.

"Then thank you both very much."

Feng Yichen's voice lightened a bit when he heard Dong Qian agree.

His voice had become somewhat low when he saw that the two of them were unwilling to budge.

"When does Senior Brother Feng plan to make his move?" Ji Yuan asked.

"The sooner the better, of course."

Feng Yichen's meaning was quite clear: if possible, then now!

"it is good."

Ji Yuan and the other person came here for the purpose of obtaining the Illusion Flower. Now that they have it, there is nothing else to do.

So Feng Yichen prepared to leave.

As she was leaving, Dong Qian seemed to remember something.

Suddenly, he asked a question.

"Senior Brother Feng, you just said that Old Locust Valley is a place of trouble. Could it be that something big is about to happen here?"

Feng Yichen, who had already reached the door, stopped, thought for a moment, and turned back with a smile:

"It's nothing major."

"It's just that I, Feng Yichen, have arrived."

"Therefore, this place has become a place of trouble."
