Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 145 Nascent Soul Cultivation Technique [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

If we look for Fang Jie, it means we'll have to continue dealing with the Enforcement Hall.

When it comes to dealing with the Enforcement Hall, Ji Yuan and the other Water Dragon Sect disciples share the same view: the Enforcement Hall is a place that everyone hates and despises; it's best to avoid dealing with them if possible.

Moreover, Ji Yuan is not sure whether Pi Fangzhi is a spy for the demonic path. If he is, that's fine, but once he enters the Hall of Law Enforcement, he will never be able to come out again.

But if not, then it will be another problem.

But it would be much easier if we went to Li Changhe.

If Pi Fangzhi is a spy from the demonic path, then I would have essentially given Li Changhe a great achievement for nothing.

If he weren't a spy for the demonic path, he could discuss with Li Changhe whether it was possible to send Pi Fangzhi to the cycle of reincarnation.

For someone who wants to dig a hole all the way to his own grave, Ji Yuan naturally has to prepare for the worst.

Once the decision was made, Ji Yuan didn't linger there.

Judging from Pi Fangzhi's door, he should still be at home. Staying here to send a message... is dangerous.

Where is the safest place on Chulong Island?

That was naturally the Young Dragon Hall, guarded by Foundation Establishment cultivators. So Ji Yuan went straight to the Young Dragon Hall, which was the closest. The cultivator on duty at the entrance saw him land and politely inquired:

"Is there anything I can help you with, Senior Brother?"

"Nothing much, just came over for a visit."

Then, to the disciple's astonishment, Ji Yuan walked to the side and sat down.

Who comes to Chulongtang to sit for a while?

Isn't it comfortable to sit at home?

The monk on duty shook his head and left.

As soon as Ji Yuan saw him leave, he immediately took out the golden communication talisman that Li Changhe had given him, infused it with spiritual energy, and then said into it, "Brother Li, are you there? I'm at the entrance of the Hatchling Dragon Hall. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

After only a few breaths, the communication talisman in Ji Yuan's hand began to glow.

He infused another wisp of spiritual energy into it, and Li Changhe's voice rang out.

"Don't worry, wait for your brother to come."

That short sentence gave Ji Yuan a great sense of reassurance.

That's what I'm saying... something just doesn't sound right, it's weird.

After the call for help ended, Ji Yuan probed his storage bag with his divine sense, looking at the other communication talismans: Feng Zhitao, Qinghe Island Master, and his future master, Yaoyue.

In fact, Ji Yuan can now have his own communication talisman.

This communication talisman is also a type of second-tier talisman. After purchasing it, you can use it by leaving your own divine sense imprint inside. Therefore, under normal circumstances, only cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can possess their own communication talisman.

This can also be seen as a symbol of strength and status.

Ji Yuan is capable, but he doesn't dare to act.

Once this is exposed, others will probably know that I also possess divine consciousness.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky, followed by a streak of light, and a very stylish silver flying boat stopped in front of Ji Yuan.

This flying boat... Other people's flying boats are streamlined dugout canoes, but this flying boat is much larger, and there is a dragon's head at the bow. The dragon's head is open and ferocious. Without any introduction, Ji Yuan knows that a very powerful spell must be able to be released from the dragon's mouth.

Moreover, while ordinary flying boats only have a small recess for storing spirit stones, Li Changhe's flying boat uses a basin to hold them...

If all these spirit stones were piled up, how fast could it go?

In comparison, Ji Yuan felt the gap between the rich and poor in the flying boats. In his previous life, he had a luxury car, and in this life, he had a "luxury boat".

Before Ji Yuan could speak, two figures rushed out from the Young Dragon Hall.

"Who dares to offend the might of my Young Dragon Hall... Oh, it's the Lord of Long River Island."

"Island Lord Changhe, your presence is an honor. I apologize for not being able to welcome you properly."

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators who came out perfectly exemplified the principle of being arrogant at first and then obsequious. They came out furious, but as soon as they saw Li Changhe's figure, they immediately cupped their hands and smiled.

Li Changhe jumped off the flying boat and casually waved to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"I'm here to see my younger brother. I won't bother you, don't worry."

After saying that, he came up to Ji Yuan and said, "Brother Ji, how long have you been a member of our Water Dragon Sect? You haven't come to see me for a while. I thought you had forgotten about me."

"How could that be? Aren't you worried that Brother Li is too busy..."

Before Ji Yuan could finish speaking, a dark figure jumped out of the unfolded flying boat and landed on Li Changhe's shoulder with a "whoosh".

This is... a cat.

Ji Yuan recognized the adorable kitten with its snow-white fur speckled with black spots and two wings growing from its sides.

Because he had seen this cat not long ago.

This cat has a resounding name: Winged Flying Tiger. When it grows up, it can become a third-tier demon beast comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.

In this way, Ji Yuan knew who "Old Li the Rich" was at the Qingye Auction, who used spirit stones to suppress many Golden Core cultivators. He was most likely Li Changhe's father... Li Gang!

Ji Yuan glanced at the "luxury boat" behind Li Changhe, and then at the third-tier demon beast cub on his shoulder.

Damn, now that's what you call a second-generation immortal!

In comparison, what is Yang Yunxiang?

Seeing that Ji Yuan was staring at the winged tiger on his shoulder without saying a word, Li Changhe smiled, shook his shoulder, grabbed the little tiger with one hand, and tossed it onto Ji Yuan's shoulder.

"It looks good but is useless. You'll find out once you play with it."

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Young Dragon Hall were extremely surprised by Li Changhe's attitude towards Ji Yuan, but they dared not show it on their faces.

A disciple in the Qi Refining stage from Chulong Island actually became sworn brothers with the legendary Lord of Changhe Island.

Whose celestial prince is this?

They actually disguised themselves and hid inside our Chick Dragon Island.

Ji Yuan quickly took it with both hands. It was indeed soft to the touch, just like the feeling of petting a cat in his past life. The little tiger wasn't afraid of him at all. Instead, it hugged his arm and rubbed against him, which was quite amusing.

"Alright, I'm going to talk to my brother. You go ahead with your work."

"Yes."

Li Changhe gave them the order to leave, and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately took their leave.

Once the two of them left, Li Changhe's expression became much more serious. "What is it? Why did Brother Ji even come to me?"

Holding the third-tier demon beast cub in his arms, Ji Yuan said in a deep voice, "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Oh? Then let's go to your cave dwelling."

"That won't work either."

"Um?"

Li Changhe stared at Ji Yuan in astonishment.

After a while.

Above the clouds, Li Changhe listened intently as Ji Yuan recounted the entire story, from the moment he noticed something was off about the two neighbors to the moment Pi Fang dug a tunnel right under his house.

"You son of a bitch, your neighbor is almost certainly a traitorous spy!"

"They are accustomed to using this kind of tactic in the demonic path, and since they have infiltrated our sect through a gap, they have even more methods at their disposal."

Li Changhe patted his backside as he got up from the flying boat. "Let's go, Brother Ji, let's go down and capture them alive!"

"If we can't catch him, we'll kill him!"

"No, Brother Li, what if he's not a spy for the demonic path?" Just to be on the safe side, Ji Yuan asked another question.

"Even if he's not a spy for the demonic path, the crime of breaking the restrictions on someone else's cave is enough to keep him in the Enforcement Hall for life. Let's go!"

As Li Changhe spoke, the Dharma boat pressed down, and the flying boat transformed into a streak of light, plummeting straight to the ground.

Before the airship even got close to the ground, he had already thrown out a huge net. The net grew longer in the wind and, by the time it landed, it had transformed into a giant fishing net that covered the entire courtyard.

As the fishing net was lowered, a black light suddenly shot out from inside the house, but it was completely covered by the net.

A series of electric flashes appeared on the fishing net, and the dark figure struck by the lightning let out screams and howls.

In the shadows, wisps of black mist could be seen rising from the shadows.

So, Pi Fangzhi... was caught just like that?

Ji Yuan felt something was off.

He wasn't the only one who noticed something was wrong; Li Changhe, who was beside him, also sensed something was amiss.

"Wait a moment, watch me go and capture him. Damn it, how dare he break into our sect? I think this demonic scoundrel has truly gone mad!"

As Li Changhe spoke, he leaped off the flying boat.

But this time, instead of going to Pi Fangzhi's courtyard, they went to... Ji Yuan's courtyard.

It is unknown what method he used, but his figure passed directly through the restriction barrier of Ji Yuan's house and landed inside. Soon, the courtyard lit up with beams of magical light.

The energy was rampant, and spells were accompanied by flying spiritual energy.

Ji Yuan's courtyard... was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

With this kind of setup, how could Ji Yuan not see that Pi Fangzhi was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

In this way, it was barely plausible that he was able to evade the investigation of the Enforcement Hall, and Ji Yuan was also terrified.

Damn it, thank goodness I managed to call Li Changhe.

If you were to act rashly, even if you survive, you would be seriously injured and your strength would be exposed.

This demonic cultivator is too sneaky... No, from now on, if I ever provoke a demonic cultivator, I must go all out and resolve all the trouble as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, such methods are too terrifying.

No wonder Pi Fangzhi was sent to the Water Dragon Sect to be a spy.

After a dozen or so breaths, the sounds of fighting on the ground subsided, and the battle was decided.

Before Ji Yuan could ask, he discovered that the flying boat had descended on its own and landed in the ruins.

Ji Yuan could no longer recognize what her original home looked like; everything that could collapse had collapsed, and what couldn't had turned to dust.

Li Changhe stood amidst the ruins, one foot on Pi Fangzhi's head, slightly out of breath.

The winged tiger on his shoulder bared its teeth and glared at Pi Fangzhi, looking both cute and fierce.

Pi Fangzhi, who was lying on the ground, was tightly bound with a long rope. His hands and feet had been severed, and the rope was also used to gag him.

They saw Ji Yuan's figure fall.

Pi Fangzhi gave a bitter laugh upon seeing this.

"You managed to notice this? You actually have such connections within the Water Dragon Sect. Well then, it seems the heavens are against me."

Pi Fang sighed deeply, "Go, go, go."

After he finished speaking, his aura rapidly faded.

Without him making any move or displaying any magic, this person suddenly... died.

Seeing this, Li Changhe removed his foot.

"Another one who swore an oath to come here. There's no hope. Once this kind of demonic cultivator is caught, he will die instantly. We won't be able to get any information out of him."

Despite saying that, he still collected Pi Fangzhi's corpse.

"I'll take it back and show it to the elders."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Brother Li."

Ji Yuan quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

At this moment, several more Foundation Establishment auras swept over from the mountaintop. As Li Changhe raised his hand, a golden stream of light flew up from his hand, exploded in mid-air, and transformed into a golden dragon shadow.

The several auras that had originally come over immediately returned.

Ji Yuan guessed that this was some kind of identification mark, but didn't ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Li Changhe took Ji Yuan to Pi Fangzhi's house next door. They inspected the house thoroughly, inside and out, and collected all the used items. Then, this second-generation immortal from the Li family turned to Ji Yuan and said:

"This matter is very serious. I will go back and inform the elders first, and then I will come back to find you."

"good……"

Ji Yuan bowed slightly, then, remembering something, tentatively said:

"Brother Li, could you please extricate me from this matter?"

Li Changhe pondered for a moment.

"Alright, all I can say is that I will do my best. If some elders are determined to investigate, this will definitely not be kept secret. But you don't need to worry, this matter will definitely not do you any harm."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li."

"It's alright. Just take this token and wait for me at the Qingshui Tea House on Wanwu Island. I'll come find you when I'm done with my work."

Li Changhe tossed a token to Ji Yuan, then flew away in his flying boat.

Ji Yuan glanced at the token, put it away, and then summoned the Crimson Sky Boat, heading straight for the Island of All Things.

This place is a dangerous place, and even with Li Changhe's help to cover it up, we can't stay here any longer.

……

Ji Yuan arrived at Wanwu Island, wandered around for a long time, and asked many fellow disciples before finally finding this Qingshui Teahouse in a beautiful place with clear water and lush mountains.

It's supposed to be a teahouse called Qingshui Teahouse... but it looks extremely shady.

Because the female cultivators working as tea servers at the entrance were all at the peak of Qi Refining, and their first words to Ji Yuan were, "Excuse me, fellow Daoist, our teahouse is not open to the public."

Ji Yuan took out the token given to him by Li Changhe.

The female cultivator immediately changed her attitude, and even the smile on her face became more sincere.

"Fellow Daoist, please come inside."

Once Ji Yuan entered the house, he realized what true luxury was... In the world of cultivation, true luxury is not about gold and silver inlays, or dragon and phoenix carvings.

Instead... the magical artifacts are just for decoration!

As soon as Ji Yuan entered, he saw a high-grade spiritual artifact shaped like a vase, properly placed under the screen at the entrance as an ornament. As for that screen...

Ji Yuan looks like it was made from materials from a late-stage second-tier demon beast.

Even the wood used in this house is second-tier timber. Damn it, this teahouse must be run by some old thief who's a Golden Core cultivator, to be so generous.

Ji Yuan walked and looked around, and was then led to a private room on the second floor.

The maid bowed slightly and left. Soon, several female cultivators who were also at the peak of Qi Refining entered, carrying tea and various fruits that Ji Yuan had never seen before.

Especially those fruits, each one was brimming with spiritual energy, clearly not ordinary.

They didn't say anything, just smiled and swayed their slender waists as they served tea and fruit. Just as they were about to leave, Ji Yuan looked down at the fruit on the table and finally called them back.

"Excuse me, do you charge for these items?"

If Li Changhe gets held up and can't come because of something, and Ji Yuan has to pay for it himself... Ji Yuan wouldn't do that. He's just a Qi Refining cultivator and he's already heavily in debt. He doesn't have any spirit stones to live a carefree life.

"Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it. Our teahouse is free of charge."

The female cultivator closest to Ji Yuan bowed slightly and spoke.

Ji Yuan was relieved, then looked at the fruits on the table and said, "Then bring me another one exactly the same."

"OK."

The female cultivator didn't seem to notice anything amiss, and her smile remained unchanged.

Watching them leave, Ji Yuan didn't feel ashamed at all. If losing face could bring him strength, then he would be willing to be shameless.

Soon, the female cultivators indeed brought over an identical serving of fruits and tea.

Ji Yuan then began to eat and drink in the teahouse.

When he saw Li Changhe again, it was already the next day.

Although he looked somewhat tired, the joy in his eyes was hard to hide.

"But thanks to Brother Ji, we caught this traitor from the demonic path, which is a great achievement for me."

Li Changhe was even happier after entering the room, and immediately laughed and said.

"Speaking of which, I should thank Brother Li. If it weren't for Brother Li, I wouldn't know what to do in this situation."

Ji Yuan got up to greet him.

Before long, the maids from yesterday brought over different fruits and teas, but the quality was about the same as yesterday's, and they all had various magical effects.

It could either increase one's cultivation level slightly or improve the speed of cultivation.

After they left, Li Changhe, who had just sat down, looked Ji Yuan up and down.

"You're about to reach Foundation Establishment without saying a word. I brought Foundation Establishment Pills this time, and judging from your posture... you probably don't have any good Foundation Establishment techniques."

As he spoke, Li Changhe leaned back, sat down with an air of authority, and said with a smile:

"I have a cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage, and I can pass it on to you."

Ji Yuan: "Huh?"
