Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 227 Slaying the Dragon; Millennium Spirit Milk [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Han Feiyu spread his hands, saying helplessly:

"We've been master and disciple for so many years, Master, don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly have a complaint over such a small matter?"

That would be best.

The Cloud Mist Island Master nodded slightly and put down his teacup.

"How's it going with those traitors you were asked to eliminate?"

Han Feiyu handed over a storage bag. "Their heads are all here."

The Cloud Mist Island Master scanned it with his divine sense, "Not bad."

"Remember not to kill too quickly, otherwise you'll finish your mission too early and your cheap master will have to take you back into the Water Dragon Sect."

Hearing this, Han Feiyu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The Cloud Mist Island Master glanced at him.

"put."

"Yes."

Han Feiyu stood up and bowed to her, "This disciple wants to ask, Master, you clearly chose to possess Xuan Shui Zhenren at the beginning, so why did you end up possessing Yun Miao Shijie instead?"

This question had been troubling Han Feiyu for a long time, and now that Xuan Shui Zhenren was mentioned again, he couldn't help but ask it.

"Oh, about that."

The Cloud Mist Island Master reached out and touched his smooth chin, his brows furrowed, his posture looking extremely strange.

"It's nothing, I've just been a man for too long and I want to flirt with women, is that okay?"

"this……"

Han Feiyu broke out in a cold sweat, "Alright, alright, this disciple was too talkative."

"Oh."

The Cloud Mist Island Master, or more accurately, Qu Luohun, the Old Demon Qu, sneered, "I sent you to investigate Ji Yuan's whereabouts. It's been so long, any news yet?"

Han Feiyu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when Ji Yuan was mentioned.

"I sent messages several times but received no response. I also asked a friend to go to his Worry-Free Island, but I still couldn't find him. He must have gone out."

"I didn't realize he was so bold. I thought he was really going to stay hidden inside the sect forever and never dare to come out."

"Master, didn't you say you would let him go? Why are you bringing this up again now?"

Han Feiyu mustered his courage and asked.

The Cloud Mist Island Master subconsciously tried to touch the beard on his chin, but found nothing. Helpless, he could only rub his chest, which made Han Feiyu quickly turn her face away.

"Ha, trash."

The Cloud Mist Island Master chuckled first, then sighed before saying, "I would like to let him go, but for some reason, your friend has caught... caught someone else's eye again."

"Which senior?"

Han Feiyu cupped his hands and asked.

The Cloud Mist Island Master suddenly pointed to a tabby cat on the wall and said:

"It gave birth to a litter of pups a while ago."

Han Feiyu turned around and looked, puzzled, and said, "It wasn't done by the disciple."

Cloud Mist Island Master: "..."

Han Feiyu quickly changed his tune, "I don't know what Master has to do with this matter?"

"Yeah, what's it to you!"

The Cloud Mist Island Master stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked towards the door. "By the way, don't forget about killing Liu Yuan."

"Ji Yuan is from your hometown, and you refuse to kill him, but Liu Yuan has to be killed."

"Yes."

Han Feiyu responded solemnly, and finally watched the Cloud Mist Island Master leave the place.

With her androgynous master gone, Han Feiyu leaned back and lay on the ground, staring blankly at the drifting clouds in the sky.

He escaped the matter of killing Ji Yuan, but he still had to kill Liu Yuan...

Han Feiyu couldn't help but wonder if he couldn't even kill Liu Yuan, would Old Demon Qu kill him too?

It shouldn't be that bad.

But there's always a way out, so I'm too lazy to think about it anymore.

He then turned his attention to several other, more important matters, such as whether or not to inform Ji Yuan that a powerful figure had his eye on him.

Secondly, there's the matter of Old Demon Qu possessing the body of the Cloud Mist Island Master.

There must be some special reason, but the old demon refused to say.

Moreover, Feng Yichen was most likely possessed... I wonder if True Person Xuanshui knows about these things?

They're a bunch of old fogies.

Han Feiyu rubbed his temples, wondering how he could find a way to survive among these many old demons... and ideally, he could even open up this path to immortality.

"The Commercial Court..."

Han Feiyu gently rubbed his right index finger and thumb. The tabby cat on the wall meowed and leaped down to his side.

Han Feiyu then reached out and stroked the tabby cat's little head.

Looking at the tabby cat he had been feeding for a month, an idea suddenly popped into his head:

Can a business that failed back then succeed now?

……

"Little Fuzi, it's dawn when I open my eyes and dusk when I close them. If I'm not the protagonist in a storybook, then who is?"

"Yes, yes, you are... Wow, look, an immortal!"

In a small mountain village, two boys were playing.

One of the boys saw a streak of light across the sky and quickly pointed to the horizon. The other boy immediately looked up and, when he saw the light piercing through the clouds, his eyes were filled with hope.

"One day, I, Xiao Feng, will also become an immortal who can fly and escape the earth!"

Ji Yuan had no idea that his casual journey would inspire such lofty ambitions in the young man. He was now single-mindedly focused on getting as fast as possible to Mirror Lake, condense the sword embryo, and then head south back to the Water Dragon Sect.

"We've now reached the border between the Spirit Control Sect and Corpse Driving Mountain. Once we cross Lanshan City and head north, we'll reach the Spirit Control Sect's territory."

"Once we reach the Spirit Control Gate, going to Mirror Lake will be much faster; the whole trip won't take more than ten days."

Ji Yuan recalled the maps he had seen.

The main reason is that Mirror Lake is located south of the Spirit Control Gate. If it were north of the Spirit Control Gate, near the North Sea... then a round trip would take several months.

That makes sense. If Mirror Lake were near the North Sea, it wouldn't be Mirror Lake; it would most likely be called Ice Lake.

"In that case, let's rest in Arashiyama City for a while, and then head straight to Mirror Lake after we're done with our work."

Ji Yuan had already planned out the rest of the itinerary in his mind.

Going to Lanshan City was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather something he had been planning for a long time. He had already learned about it from several Qi Refining cultivators when he was still in the previous city.

In a while, a grand auction will be held in Lanshan City.

Moreover, this auction is quite different from previous ones, because this auction is jointly organized by the two major immortal sects, Yu Ling Men and Gan Shi Shan.

When this matter was brought up, Ji Yuan naturally thought of the relationship between the two immortal sects in Shuibei.

Unlike the three immortal sects in Shui Nan, which are constantly fighting each other.

For example, before, the three families fought a chaotic battle over a spiritual vein, and almost even fought each other's historical records.

However, the relationship between the two families in Shuibei is different. The two families are as close as family. It's one thing for the disciples of the two immortal sects to call each other brothers on ordinary days, but even the Golden Core elders visit each other from time to time.

Things like jointly holding an auction in Arashiyama City are considered minor matters.

Even without this incident, the two companies frequently hold other events.

Such as array formations, alchemy, corpse refining exchange conferences, and so on.

Therefore, this joint auction held by the two immortal sects will definitely have a lot of good items. It's a good opportunity to join in the fun and see if you can bid on some good things. If not, it would be good to sell some of the things you have on you.

Things like Foundation Establishment Pills, or some unused Tier 3 pills and immortal materials, can all be sold.

Two days later.

Outside the Arashiyama mountain range, in front of a magnificent city, Ji Yuan, piloting a flying boat, descended from the sky and arrived at the southern city gate.

He didn't pilot the flying boat directly into the city; being a newcomer, it was best to be cautious.

There's no guarantee that this city doesn't have some kind of no-fly rule.

When Ji Yuan finally got to wait in line, he found a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the city gate. The cultivator was lying on a recliner inside the gate, gently rocking back and forth. If a Qi Refining cultivator passed by, he wouldn't even bother to lift his eyelids. But when Ji Yuan came over, he immediately stood up from the chair.

"Welcome, fellow Daoist, to Lanshan City. Are you also here to attend the Dragon Slaying Auction?"

The middle-aged man in the gray robe smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

A dragon-slaying auction?

Ji Yuan was somewhat puzzled, as he had no idea that this auction was called the Dragon Slaying Auction, but he nodded calmly on the surface, "Exactly."

"Welcome, welcome."

"I wonder if this is your first time visiting our Lanshan City? If so, we have disciples here to help guide you and give you an introduction."

After the gray-robed man finished speaking, a young and beautiful female cultivator in the Qi Refining stage walked out from behind him.

...The service provided by the Spirit Control Sect is quite appropriate, of course, this is mostly because they see that I am a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"No need, I've been to your esteemed place before."

Ji Yuan politely declined, but gave him a low-grade spirit stone as an entrance fee before stepping into the majestic Lanshan City.

Of all the cities he had visited, Lanshan City was undoubtedly the largest, and the reason for this was naturally the friendly relationship between the two immortal sects.

There weren't any major conflicts or struggles, so the two immortal sects were naturally able to join forces to manage a large city.

After Ji Yuan entered, he walked around for two streets before slowing down.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the person behind him still hadn't come up, he turned around and whispered to a young girl, "If you don't come up soon, don't blame me for being impolite."

The female cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, dressed in a cyan robe, hurriedly stepped forward with her head down, bowed, and said, "Junior Ning Shanshan greets Senior."

"You've been following me since the city gate, is there something you need?"

"Junior, junior would like to show you the way, senior."

Ning Shanshan, with her head down, said softly.

"Oh?"

"I know this Arashiyama Castle very well, I don't need a guide."

Ji Yuan naturally understood Ning Shanshan's meaning; she simply wanted to earn money by guiding people. In the big city, there were many low-level cultivators who made a living this way.

"No, senior, you can fool others, but you can't fool..."

Ning Shanshan wanted to say more, but Ji Yuan had already turned and left. She could only lower her head, turn around again, and look somewhat disappointed.

"Fine, come here."

Seeing her pitiful state, Ji Laomo felt a rare pang of pity and called her back.

Upon hearing this, Ning Shanshan happily followed. In her haste, she looked up and Ji Yuan realized that beneath her long, flowing hair, she possessed an exceptionally beautiful face… No wonder she always walked with her head down.

Ning Shanshan also realized what was happening and quickly lowered her head, seemingly a little scared.

Ji Yuan had already turned around. "Tell me, how did you figure out that this is my first time in Lanshan City?"

Ji Yuan was confident in his disguise, but he didn't expect to be seen through by a Qi Refining cultivator. It seems he will have to be more careful in the future.

"Yes……"

Ning Shanshan quickly caught up and walked behind Ji Yuan, saying rapidly, "Because this junior guards the city gate every day, watching the seniors pass by..."

When you first came in, you seemed to have a clear goal, heading towards Suzaku Street. But when you reached the front of the street, you paused, as if hesitating about which way to go.

Moreover, your tone of voice sounds like you're from the south, quite different from ours, which is why I dared to conclude that this is your first time visiting our Arashiyama City.

Ji Yuan never expected Ning Shanshan to be so meticulous, nor did he expect that his seemingly exquisite disguise would have so many flaws.

"She's observant, but if she sees through someone's disguise again, she shouldn't say it out loud."

Ji Yuan casually gave a word of advice.

Ning Shanshan broke out in a cold sweat, and even slowed her pace, but she reacted quickly and caught up immediately, saying with a grin, "That's because I thought you were a kind person, so I dared to talk to you."

"Hehe, tell me what this Dragon Slayer Auction is all about, and what good stuff is inside."

"Yes, this auction is called the Dragon Slaying Auction because a dragon-slaying tournament is currently underway."

Ning Shanshan walked beside Ji Yuan and introduced him in a low voice.

"A dragon-slaying tournament?"

"That's right. Some time ago, it was said that a third-tier dragon was discovered in a deep mountain lake in the Lanshan Mountains. So the two immortal sects discussed it and decided to hold a dragon-slaying tournament, sending the top Foundation Establishment cultivators from both sects to join forces to kill this third-tier dragon."

"The corpse, demon core, and essence blood of this third-tier dragon will be auctioned off as the grand finale, hence the name of this auction: the Dragon Slaying Auction."

"I see……"

Two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators—no, they should be called Pseudo Core Formation cultivators—joined forces to kill a third-tier dragon… It seemed dangerous, but it wasn’t safe either.

But since he is the number one person in the Foundation Establishment stage, he must be a disciple of a Golden Core cultivator, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Moreover, Ji Yuan took a look at the corpse of this third-tier dragon.

[Fishpond: lv4 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Upgrade Requirements: 800 mid-grade spirit stones; 1 third-tier ice-attribute demon core; 1 third-tier dragon-type demon beast corpse; 3 dragon blood stones. (Not yet achieved)]

If I could acquire this item through auction, it would save me a lot of trouble.

And the essence and blood of this third-tier dragon.

Ji Yuan thought of the [Fish Pond]. Several years had passed since the Frost Dragon in his possession advanced, but no new Frost Dragon had been born.

He had thought about this problem.

The Ice Dragon in his hand was able to be born because of the stimulation from that wisp of dragon energy at that time.

Dragon energy is hard to find, but if we can get some essence blood from a third-tier dragon and bring it back, can we stimulate it again and see if a new Frost Dragon cub can be born?

If this works out, we'll make a fortune.

Whether we put this dragon cub up for auction or keep it to see if it can be promoted to a fourth-tier spirit beast—a Chilong.

...Fortunately, Master Tiancan gave me quite a few spirit stones, otherwise I would have left empty-handed today.

"Who are these two Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Ji Yuan vaguely remembered Li Changhe mentioning it.

As a renowned second-generation immortal from the Water Dragon Sect, he naturally had dealings with second-generation immortals from other immortal sects, so he was very familiar with these matters and people.

"The one from Corpse Driving Mountain is Senior Cao Lang, and the one from the Spirit Control Sect is Senior Ye Chen."

Ning Shanshan lowered her voice even further when she said this.

"Ye Chen?"

Ji Yuan suddenly remembered that Li Changhe had also mentioned this person to him before, and it was because of this name that he had paid special attention to him.

Ye Chen... if he didn't have some skill, he probably wouldn't be able to suppress this name.

"Yes, do you know him, senior? I heard he's very young and handsome. There's a lady in Qinghefang who met him and said she wouldn't marry anyone but him... Uh, sorry, I'm being nosy."

Ning Shanshan quickly covered her mouth as she spoke.

"How could a nobody like me know such an important person? Where is this Dragon Slayer Auction? Take me there first."

"Yes."

Ning Shanshan then led Ji Yuan around Lanshan City, eventually arriving at a seven-story tower in the east of the city. "The auction house is right here. And for this auction, only Foundation Establishment cultivators like you can enter. Qi Refining cultivators like us have no chance of getting in."

Ji Yuan also noticed this, because after arriving in this area, there were obviously more Foundation Establishment cultivators. For example, those going in and out of this gate now were all Foundation Establishment cultivators.

...It's estimated that this auction will attract quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators from both immortal sects, plus independent cultivators, and even Golden Core cultivators might come.

Ji Yuan secretly decided that he must attend the auction before leaving.

"Please wait a moment, senior."

As Ning Shanshan spoke, she lowered her head and quickly walked to a shop on the right. She whispered a few words to another female cultivator, who then took out a booklet and handed it to her. After bowing to thank her, Ning Shanshan took the booklet and ran back, handing it to her with both hands.

"Senior, these are the items to be auctioned at this Dragon Slayer Auction. You can take a look and see for yourself."

Ji Yuan took it and started flipping through it as he walked.

A top-grade spiritual weapon, the "Moon-Slaying Flying Sword"; a second-tier demon core, the "Earth-Splitting Viper"; a one-pattern Foundation Establishment Pill; a supreme-grade spiritual weapon, the "Mountain-Splitting Axe"... two two-pattern Foundation Establishment Pills; two Heavenly Thunder Seeds...

All these factors combined result in a great many good things.

Ji Yuan also took a look at the final auction item.

The first item is the "Heaven-Slaying Sword," a talisman that can be used twice more. Next are the demon core of the third-tier demon beast Sky Eagle, the cub of the third-tier demon beast Mountain Drill Rat, and the talisman "Sky-Escape Shuttle."

Damn it, someone's actually auctioning off the Sky Shuttle here.

Scroll down.

10 drops of Millennium Spirit Milk.

Ji Yuan immediately perked up when he saw this!

He clearly remembered that this item was one of the conditions for upgrading the [Spirit Vein] to level 3.

So Ji Yuan called up the control panel again and took a look.

[Spirit Vein: lv3 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Effect 1: Within a five-mile radius, the concentration of spiritual energy increases by 200%.]

[Effect 2: Produces 100 mid-grade spirit stones and 1000 low-grade spirit stones daily.]

[Effect 3: Produces 1 drop of "Millennium Spirit Milk" per month.]

[Upgrade Requirements: 80 high-grade spirit stones, 1000 mid-grade spirit stones, 10000 low-grade spirit stones, and 10 drops of millennium spirit milk. (Not yet achieved)]

Damn it, we have to get our hands on this!

Once you get these 10 drops of Millennium Spirit Milk, if you don't have enough spirit stones left, you can go back and borrow from Li Changhe or Hua Yaoyue.

After all, if the [Spirit Vein] is upgraded to level 3...

Break even in one year.

Make a fortune in two years.

Ascend to immortality in just three years!
