Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 224 "The Heavenly Fox's Joyful Skill" [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Since he began his spiritual practice, Ji Yuan has not encountered many unexpected things.

But there are two today.

One unexpected thing was that Dong Qian would bring a soft bed and bedding with her when she went out, as if she had come prepared.

Secondly, I never imagined that my first time with a woman would be inside a tomb!

It's still inside the tomb of a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

This is somewhat out of place.

But it also seems to carry a slightly strange feeling?

In short, it's all very strange.

Although Ji Yuan sensed that his lust was strange and too intense, the die was cast and he had no choice but to act... (100 million words omitted here.)

……

Three days later.

Ji Yuan looked at his senior sister in his arms, her face flushed, her hair soaked with sweat and clinging to her forehead, the dense sweat on her body giving off an unusual sheen.

Dong Qian rubbed against him, and the fox tail on her back unconsciously peeked out from under the covers again, swaying gently behind her.

Ji Yuan's gaze was drawn to it, and his body moved instinctively.

Dong Qian blushed and quickly put her fox tail away.

"No... I can't take it anymore."

Ji Yuan thought about what had happened in the past three days and realized it made sense.

Young people should exercise restraint.

Let's come back later then.

"Senior sister."

"Um?"

Dong Qian looked up at her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Ji Yuan asked casually, "Weren't you married once before?"

After listening, Dong Qian didn't rush to answer. Instead, she said, "I'll answer your question, and you answer mine."

Ji Yuan thought about it and agreed.

"it is good."

"You want to ask me why I haven't experienced it, right?"

Dong Qian rolled her eyes coquettishly.

"Yes, we were married, but he was seriously injured after the marriage. My cultivation level rose rapidly afterward, so he never touched me."

"I see……"

Ji Yuan understood perfectly; he remembered that Dong Qian had married from Zengtou City to the nearby Jingdefang.

Later, when the Water Dragon Sect was being selected, they all returned from Jingdefang to Zengtou City to participate.

"Alright, alright, now it's my turn to ask you."

"Go ahead and ask, senior sister."

"Are you... a body cultivator?"

"Yes."

The two had been having in-depth conversations for three days and three nights, and Dong Qian already knew everything about Ji Yuan's body.

Therefore, Dong Qian had already realized that Ji Yuan was a body cultivator.

The current inquiry is simply an attempt to get a positive answer from Ji Yuan.

"No wonder, I was wondering why...why..."

As Dong Qian spoke, she lay down to the side, her eyes filled with helplessness and a deep sense of powerlessness.

She originally thought that with her human-fox body, she could easily control Ji Yuan.

But unexpectedly, in the end, it was he who was being manipulated.

"This...this isn't human! Three days and three nights without rest, and it can still go on as if it never gets tired. It's almost like those ancient ferocious beasts!"

"I'm clearly the fox spirit, but he looks more like a demon beast than I do. Sigh."

As Dong Qian was thinking, she suddenly sensed something.

"No...no more."

"Wait...wait a minute, I have a dual cultivation technique here."

"Um?"

Upon hearing that this was a good thing, Ji Yuan immediately stopped what he was doing.

"This is a technique passed down from my Celestial Fox Clan. It can coexist with my main cultivation method without conflict. Junior Brother, you should learn it first."

"it is good."

Dong Qian then began to verbally describe the technique.

When it came to cultivation, Ji Yuan calmed down and spent three days in this way. With Dong Qian's close guidance and the two of them practicing together, Ji Yuan finally succeeded in comprehending the "Heavenly Fox Joyful Skill".

This was the first time Ji Yuan had experienced the wonders of dual cultivation techniques.

I don't know if it's the technique itself that's good, or the partner for dual cultivation that's good.

In short, the training effect is excellent.

First of all, the speed at which he absorbs spiritual energy is almost as fast as the effect of his cultivation in the [spiritual vein]. Of course, the main thing is the joy of dual cultivation.

This joy is far beyond anything that can be compared to normal cultivation.

"Senior sister, you should have brought out this cultivation technique a long time ago."

"Stop talking, hurry up and start cultivating."

"..."

Under normal circumstances, Ji Yuan needs to condense a sword embryo to continue improving his cultivation in order to cultivate the "Canglan Nine Tribulations Sword Manual".

Just like before.

He had reached his limit in absorbing spiritual energy and wanted to continue improving his cultivation.

That's why he came to this ancient battlefield, hoping to condense a sword embryo before continuing to improve his strength.

If the sword embryo is not formed, one's cultivation level cannot be further improved.

The Sword Manual has powerful effects, but the conditions for mastering it are indeed quite unusual.

But now?

After practicing the "Heavenly Fox Joyful Technique," Ji Yuan discovered that he could bypass the restrictions of the "Sword Canon" and thus directly improve his cultivation.

In other words, one can improve their cultivation level without rushing to condense a sword embryo.

"This...this is really effective!"

"If I could continue dual cultivation indefinitely, wouldn't I be able to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before venturing out to condense a sword embryo? That would make traveling much safer."

But soon, the actual results shattered Ji Yuan's illusions.

Half a month after the dual cultivation.

The results were minimal.

"The essence of dual cultivation is actually to transfer one person's spiritual energy to two people, transforming one person's Great Circulation into two people's Great Circulation."

"The larger the circulation of spiritual energy, the better the cultivation effect."

"Another benefit is that it allows the spiritual energy within the dantian of two people to merge."

As Dong Qian spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and then... she broke through!

He broke through from the early stage of Foundation Building to the middle stage.

Ji Yuan hurriedly examined his dantian and discovered that his cultivation level had also improved significantly. Originally at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he was now only one step away from reaching the late-Foundation Establishment stage.

It means there's a lot more spiritual energy in my dantian, and I need to use the three-colored spiritual eggs to purify and compress it.

"Junior brother, your spiritual energy at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage is truly abundant."

After her breakthrough, Dong Qian was radiant once again.

"It's a pity that Senior Sister didn't inherit the Pure Yin Heavenly Fox Body of our Heavenly Fox Clan. Otherwise, with her own primordial Yin spiritual energy, if she and Junior Brother were to cultivate together for the first time, Junior Brother would probably be able to form his core in one step."

"What's the big deal? Things are already very good."

With such joy in improving his cultivation, Ji Yuan even wished that this happiness could continue forever.

"Then isn't dual cultivation only possible in stages?"

"What you say makes sense, Junior Brother. If we want the same effect in our next dual cultivation, we'll have to wait until you reach the late Foundation Establishment stage and I'm firmly established in the mid Foundation Establishment stage."

"In that case, let's not practice dual cultivation for now."

"Hmm? Then why are you still..."

"..."

A refreshed Ji Yuan stood aside, watching as Dong Qian put the messy bed into her storage bag.

The transparent glass coffin on the high platform in the distance was already empty.

"Alright, I know you have a lot of questions, junior brother. Ask whatever you want."

After putting on her clothes, Dong Qian, who had transformed into human form, returned to her original appearance, and even her voice was no longer as soft and sweet.

It's like they've pulled up their pants and then turned their backs on you.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan is also a man of the martial arts world, and his relationship with Dong Qian... we'll probably only find out after we finish talking today.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He turned to look at the coffin and asked directly, "Are you her?"

This question essentially asks whether Dong Qian is a reincarnation of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"no."

Dong Qian shook her head. "The ancestor buried here is not my direct ancestor; we are just from the same clan."

Ji Yuan nodded slightly and then asked, "Senior Sister, are you really from Zengtou City?"

Ji Yuan originally wanted to ask, "Are you still you?"

But when the words were about to come out, I felt that asking the question in that way was inappropriate, so I had to change the way I asked it.

"yes."

Dong Qian couldn't help but chuckle. "Let me just tell you directly. Our Celestial Fox Clan is quite special. We can pass on memories through bloodlines. The reason I know these things is because I've awakened a part of our Celestial Fox Clan's heritage."

"Including knowing the location of this place, including taking in the six-tailed fox, etc."

Ji Yuan then understood, but upon closer reflection, he realized that... the Celestial Fox Clan seemed to exist on the Canglu Continent, and even Shang west had never heard of them.

The Canglu Continent is inhabited only by humans and demons.

"Then your Heavenly Fox Clan isn't from our Cangluo Continent?" Ji Yuan asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this question, the smile on Dong Qian's face vanished.

She didn't even rush to answer the question. Instead, she lowered her head, paced back and forth a few times, and then turned to look at Ji Yuan, asking in return:

"Junior brother, do you think these things are important?"

"Just because the Celestial Fox Clan isn't from the Canglu Continent, you're no longer friends with me? Or is it because our Celestial Fox Clan is from the Canglu Continent that you're no longer friends with me?"

"Let nature take its course, and you don't seem like the type of person who likes to be tied down."

Dong Qian's last sentence was pointed.

Ji Yuan: "Huh?"

Dong Qian snorted, turned her head away, and joked, "Junior brother, don't think that just because you slept with me once, I have to listen to everything you say."

Ji Yuan laughed upon hearing this, and then whispered something to Dong Qian.

"Junior brother, you!"

Dong Qian turned around, her pretty face flushed, and pointed at Ji Yuan. She had intended to say a few harsh words, but the reality told her that no amount of harsh words would work in front of Ji Yuan.

"Alright, alright, Senior Sister, do you know where the Blood River is? I still need to condense my sword embryo."

Ji Yuan quickly changed the subject.

Since Dong Qian doesn't want to delve into this issue, then let's not.

Regardless of whether they investigate further or not, the two of them will most likely be able to continue investigating in the future.

"I know, but I don't want to take you!"

Dong Qian was very angry.

It was obvious that he was still angry because of what Ji Yuan had just said.

So Ji Yuan transmitted his voice again, and Dong Qian's face turned even redder, but she finally admitted defeat and surrendered, "Then, let's go, I'll take you there."

Ji Yuan laughed heartily.

Dong Qian rolled her eyes at him, secretly thinking about how to get revenge... Maybe she should take some pills beforehand next time?

The moment the thought crossed her mind and she moved her feet, Dong Qian knew something was wrong.

Forget about next time, I have to take medicine now.

The injury is quite serious.

Fortunately, after swallowing a second-tier pill, his injuries improved significantly. "Let's go. Actually, the Blood River is underground, and we can cross it directly from this tomb."

"No wonder Jiang Hong and the others searched for so long on the ground but couldn't find it."

Instead of taking the same route, the two continued forward, passing through the main tomb chamber and arriving at another passageway. As soon as they entered, Ji Yuan felt a strong aura of blood rushing towards him.

Dong Qian, who was walking in front, explained:

"The blood in this river of blood is actually the blood of the enemies killed by my ancestor. Among them are many Foundation Establishment cultivators and Core Formation cultivators, as well as quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators. In the end, she collected them all here and transformed them into this river of blood."

"No wonder the killing intent is so strong... But does our Cangluo Continent have so many Nascent Soul cultivators for her to kill?"

"Junior brother, you still want to ask if our Heavenly Fox Clan is from the Canglu Continent, right?"

Dong Qian saw through Ji Yuan's plan.

"...No, actually, when you didn't answer directly before, I already guessed that your Heavenly Fox Clan is not from our Canglu Continent."

"Oh? Didn't you ever consider that we might be from Shangxi?"

Ji Yuan: "..."

The two bickered as they walked, and before long, Ji Yuan heard the sound of water coming from ahead.

Moreover, the sound was not the "splashing" sound of ordinary flowing water, but the "gurgling" sound of blood flowing in the body.

If Ji Yuan were to fully mobilize his qi and blood, he could also produce such a sound.

"arrive."

Dong Qian, who was walking ahead, stopped.

Ji Yuan dared not recklessly release his divine sense. Looking around, he saw that there was an underground river in the passageway ahead.

However, while other underground rivers flow with water, this one flows with blood.

The river was not very wide, only about ten feet wide, and all that could be seen was a scarlet red.

Moreover, after flowing for countless years, this blood has almost turned into plasma, and its texture is very viscous.

The Blood River flows from west to east. Although there are no stones visible on its surface, the blood still occasionally ripples.

It is unknown where this river of blood originates or where it eventually flows to... But Ji Yuan guesses that this river of blood is a cycle, that is, it keeps rotating around this tomb. Otherwise, if there were a destination, there would be no way for the blood to be replenished continuously.

But if that's the case, then what drives the flow of this river of blood?

It can only be said that there are certain rules and regulations in the world of cultivation.

"If you come in from the Wei family's side, you can only reach this tributary of the Blood River. The blood energy there is not as abundant. This place connects to my ancestor's tomb, which is the place with the most abundant blood energy."

"Junior brother, if you want to condense a sword embryo, this place is perfect."

"I will protect you."

When serious matters related to cultivation were brought up, Dong Qian stopped joking around as before.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Ji Yuan had not forgotten that his original purpose in coming to this ancient battlefield was to find the Blood River to condense a sword embryo.

With the Blood River right before him, he naturally had no reason to delay any longer.

He sat down on the spot and first calmed his mind and circulated his spiritual energy several times.

Then they began to try to absorb the water flow of this place and condense the sword embryo.

Dong Qian sat behind him, guarding the entrance to the passageway, silently protecting him.

To condense the Water Transport Sword Embryo, one must first sense the Water Transport. Ji Yuan has done this many times before, so it shouldn't be a difficult task for him.

But this time it's different.

He sat by the Blood River for several days, but still couldn't sense the river's flow.

That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that the Blood River doesn't have water transport?

Or is there something special about the water transport in the Blood River?

Just as Ji Yuan was puzzled, he suddenly saw wisps of blood energy rising from the Blood River in his senses. This feeling was exactly the same as when he condensed the Dragon Fortune Sword Embryo on the Pear Blossom River.

However, the resentment contained in that blood energy was too strong at the time, and Ji Yuan severed the connection as soon as he sensed it.

But this time it's different. To put it bluntly, this time we need to rely on this blood energy to condense the sword embryo.

So Ji Yuan let the blood and qi enter his body, but as soon as it entered, he felt something was wrong.

The water element contained within this blood energy is extremely potent, exuding a murderous aura.

The moment the water entered his meridians, Ji Yuan felt his ferocity being unleashed... Kill!

He wanted to kill people, he wanted to kill demons; only through killing could he alleviate the murderous intent in his heart.

Moreover, as more and more blood and qi entered his body, Ji Yuan could even feel his temples throbbing.

No, if this continues, I'm afraid I'll get blood in my brain. But how did the Li family manage to withstand it? Right, they went to a tributary of this blood river, where the blood energy isn't as strong... Just as Ji Yuan was thinking of giving up for the time being and going to the tributary instead, he suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from behind him.

The moment this energy entered his body, it suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

It was Dong Qian who made the move!

"Junior brother, don't get distracted, quickly condense the sword embryo."

Ji Yuan's previously heightened concentration subsided once more. Without the interference of that murderous aura, he was able to condense the sword embryo with remarkable ease.

As more and more blood, qi, and water were absorbed into his body, his body continued to grow.

The blood energy swirling within his dantian grew increasingly rich.

Several more days passed, until the water flow in his dantian reached its limit, at which point Ji Yuan began to try to condense this water flow into a sword embryo.

He had experience with this, so he wasn't worried.

The previous concern was the inability to absorb water transport.

The blood and qi within the dantian swirl continuously, while the other three sword embryos, like guards, spin around these qi endlessly.

With each rotation, these waterways shrink a little.

Until... it solidifies into substance.

But that's still not enough; the actual water transport must be transformed into a sword blank.

Thus, under the reflection of the other three sword blanks, the "Blood Slaughter Sword" blank gradually took shape.

At first, the blood energy in his dantian was completely absorbed by the "Blood Slaughter Sword".

After that, we still need to continue absorbing the water transport within this blood river.

Several more days passed.

A full two weeks have passed since then.

Ji Yuancai suddenly opened his eyes, a blood-red light flashed in them, and then with a thought, a blood-red flying sword flew out of his body and finally hovered in front of him.

"Junior brother, you succeeded?"

Dong Qian's joyful voice came from behind.

"Um."

Ji Yuan looked at the Blood Slaughter Sword before him... pure blood color, without a single impurity, and just by looking at it, Ji Yuan could feel the intense killing intent contained within the sword's embryo.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Blood Slaughter Sword should be the most powerful sword prototype I possess."

"When the time comes, we'll need it to break through enemy lines and armor."

Ji Yuan was also glad to have met Dong Qian here. Without her help, even if he could have condensed this sword embryo, it certainly wouldn't have been that strong.

Moreover, if it weren't for her intervention, I wouldn't have been able to condense this sword embryo.

Then Dong Qian also came forward and carefully examined the sword blank.

Ji Yuan looked at her so close at hand and could smell the fragrance of flowers emanating from her.

"So, what are your plans next, Senior Sister?"

Having achieved his goal, Ji Yuan inquired about Dong Qian's plans.

Thank you to Annihilation for the 5000 spirit stones reward.

As expected, I tried posting it this morning and it was approved. This is the revised version; hopefully it will be approved this time.
