Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 275 A Great Harvest [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Ji Yuan didn't have time to examine the finger bone.

He noticed several new wounds, one of which was cut very deeply by the gale, almost severing the Heavenly Poison Needle in two. Ji Yuan felt very distressed.

This thing was his secret weapon for turning the tide of battle; it could kill without leaving a trace.

What's even more remarkable is that this thing is also a magical artifact!

The damage is so severe now... Ji Yuan hurriedly took out two ounces of Runyu Oil from his storage bag. He figured he should use as much as he could, since he would have some every month anyway, so there was no need to be frugal.

With a casual pinch, the jade-like cream spread out.

Ji Yuan buried the Heavenly Poison Needle in his hand into it, then squeezed it back and forth, and the Runyu Oil wrapped it back, holding the Heavenly Poison Needle in his mouth from top to bottom.

The rest can only be repaired slowly.

It shouldn't be a big problem. First, there's enough Runyu fat, and second, the poison needle was only cut, not broken or otherwise damaged.

Moreover, such a fine magic weapon, let alone a mere drop of jade-replenishing oil, even if it requires consuming other immortal resources, must be completely repaired.

After putting away the Heavenly Poison Needle, Ji Yuan examined the finger bone in his hand.

In fact, he had already noticed this finger bone as soon as it appeared, because it was very abrupt and was obviously longer than the other finger bones above the broken bone.

And the colors are also very different.

The rest of the finger bones are a normal pinkish-white, but this particular finger bone is pure black.

This situation clearly indicates that the finger bone did not come from the severed hand of Xuan Gui Zhenren, but from somewhere else, such as... the true body of Du Hai Lao Mo!

As soon as Ji Yuan touched the finger bone, he clearly sensed that it was a storage space similar to a storage bag.

The fact that the Old Demon of Crossing the Sea always carried it with him, even when he was trying to escape by possessing another body, meant that it must be the most important possession he owned!

Full of anticipation, Ji Yuan refined it in one go.

With the intrusion of divine sense, the entire scene within the storage space was immediately revealed.

I can only say I'm disappointed, very disappointed.

Ji Yuan originally thought that there would be mountains of spirit stones inside, preferably even high-grade spirit stones packed in boxes, but what was the result?

Not to mention high-grade spirit stones, I didn't even see a single low-grade spirit stone!

There is very little inside.

A pure black cheekbone, a somewhat familiar skull token, and a piece of paper that looks like human skin.

There are only these three items in total, which is pitifully little.

But this also shows that the three items that the Old Demon Crossing the Sea could carry with him were extremely valuable.

Ji Yuan first took out the familiar skull token.

The token seemed to be made of bone, and it was cold to the touch. However, the body of the token was carved with a skull, which looked somewhat ferocious.

Moreover, Ji Yuan knew why he felt familiar with the skull token as soon as he received it, because he had something with the exact same aura on him.

Ji Yuan flipped his hand and took out a ring from his storage bag.

The ring of the Yin Ghost Sect!

The skull carved on this skull token is exactly the same as the skull on the Yin Ghost Sect ring, with no difference whatsoever, and the aura is exactly the same as before.

"Another item from the Yin Ghost Sect. It seems I have quite a connection with this sect."

However, once a trace of spiritual energy is injected into the ring of the Yin Ghost Sect, it can manifest the character "Yin". Moreover, after obtaining two rings in succession and fusing them, it can hide and change its aura.

So what is the purpose of this skull token?

Ji Yuan also tried to infuse a trace of spiritual energy into it.

Since the old demon of the sea can carry this thing with him, then there must be no problem with it.

Furthermore... Ji Yuan had dealt with the Yin Gui Sect several times and knew what the Yin Gui Sect's things were all about. As long as it wasn't used by outsiders against him, there wouldn't be any problem.

As he infused a wisp of spiritual energy, the skull token finally showed a slight change.

A wisp of yin energy also rose from the token.

Just when Ji Yuan thought that some kind of "yin" character would appear, he saw the yin energy manifest and eventually form a door above it.

door?

A double bronze door.

Just when Ji Yuan thought something unexpected was about to happen, the yin energy broke off, and the door disintegrated.

"Um?"

Ji Yuan refused to believe in superstition and poured another wisp of spiritual energy into the token. The portal reappeared, but in the end, the yin energy still broke off, and the portal dissipated.

Good stuff is definitely good stuff.

But Ji Yuan didn't have time to look around any longer. The most urgent thing now was to get out of this Fallen Immortal Valley as soon as possible.

As for the other cheekbone, he also clearly sensed that it was an inherited artifact!

That means it must contain at least a Nascent Soul cultivation technique.

Ji Yuan's first thought was the [Scripture Pavilion]. He had been worried about where to get this Nascent Soul cultivation technique, but he didn't expect to get it so soon... He would go back and see what kind of technique it was.

Indeed, Ji Yuan recalled the actions of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea on Black Dragon Island.

The black lines that steal one's spiritual energy are so powerful that they are most likely from a Nascent Soul cultivation technique.

After putting the finger bone into his storage bag, Ji Yuan took out a dummy from it, made it float in front of him, and then slowly drifted away along the path he had come from.

The route is roughly in a "Z" shape.

The dummy floated past smoothly, and Ji Yuan also passed through without difficulty.

Finally emerging unharmed from the Fallen Immortal Ravine, Ji Yuan let out an undisguised sigh of relief, almost sitting down to catch his breath.

Before he could recover, he saw a white light streaking towards him from the distant sea, and wherever it passed, the endless sea seemed to be split in two...

Are there still enemies?!

Having experienced too many dangers these past few days, Ji Yuan instinctively thought this when he saw the person who came.

Only when the figure got closer and he sensed that all-too-familiar aura did he finally relax completely and even sit down on the spot.

"Master...Master."

Ji Yuan sat on the flying boat, looking at the tall woman who finally hovered in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

There was no other reason than that Ji Yuan had kept his mind on high alert throughout the journey, especially when he was outwitting and outfighting the old demon who crossed the sea. The energy he expended was far greater than when he was fighting the three-eyed dark beast.

Not to mention that Ji Yuan also manipulated the [Psionic Cannon] to set off a huge firecracker.

Upon seeing Hua Yaoyue arrive, Ji Yuan's tense nerves naturally snapped. After all, even if the sky were to fall, his master would be there to hold it up.

"You've entered the Fallen Immortal Valley?"

Hua Yaoyue stepped forward and landed steadily on Ji Yuan's Wind and Locust Flying Boat. Standing in front of him, she steered the boat slowly westward.

Now that we've picked up the person and there are no problems, there's no rush to continue our journey.

"Yes, the old devil who crossed the sea forcibly kidnapped me."

"Where is he?"

Hua Yaoyue stopped, and Feng Huai Feizhou also stopped.

"He slipped and fell into the Fallen Immortal Ravine, where he was blown to his death by the fierce wind."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, Hua Yaoyue turned to look at him with a half-smile.

Ji Yuan winked at her.

"it is good."

Hua Yaoyue smiled and nodded.

Immediately, as if remembering something, Ji Yuan hurriedly said, "By the way, Master, I've heard something very important during my trip!"

"Oh? What's the big deal?"

Hua Yaoyue didn't care much. In her opinion, Ji Yuan being arrested was a big deal, and everything else was a small matter.

"The people of Shangxi, or rather, the group of people from the Shang court in Shangxi, have made contact with the Abyss Continent."

"They're going to join forces with the people of the Abyss Continent to launch a pincer attack on Shangdong!"

Ji Yuan blurted it out without the slightest hesitation.

"The Abyss Continent?"

Hua Yaoyue's voice sounded slightly unexpected.

"right!"

Ji Yuan nodded vigorously. "As we discussed before, Situ Feng from the sect has joined Shang Xi. This time, he's the one who came to Black Dragon Island to find the Old Demon Crossing the Sea."

"Then send the Old Demon of Crossing the Sea to the Abyss Continent to contact the people there and bring them over so we can act quickly."

After hearing this, Hua Yaoyue laughed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the people on Shangxi's side had such powerful methods, yet they kept making feints. So that's what they were waiting for."

"If it's that woman's method, then it makes sense. She really does have the ability to gain the trust of the people on the Abyss Continent."

"Moreover, since it was the people from the Shang Court who contacted the Abyss Continent, Plum Manor would most likely know as well... But the Six Immortals Sect of Shangdong hasn't reacted at all yet, which is quite interesting."

Hua Yaoyue seemed to have taken a liking to it.

"Let's go back quickly."

After Hua Yaoyue finished speaking, she suddenly accelerated, and Ji Yuan's mid-grade spiritual artifact-level spirit boat flew at the speed of a top-grade spiritual artifact, riding the wind and waves towards Black Dragon Island.

"It seems you do have quite a connection with this Shang Court. You were the one who discovered the matter of the spiritual vein before, and you are also the one who discovered the connection to the Extreme Abyss Continent now... Moreover, the death of the Old Demon of Crossing the Sea may actually buy Shang Dong a few more years."

Hua Yaoyue's voice rang out with great interest.

"Well... I can only say it was lucky." Ji Yuan smiled somewhat helplessly.

"You can't handle such a huge achievement; let your master take it."

"That's how it should be."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan quickly stood up and bowed to Hua Yaoyue.

He could already imagine what would happen if Shang west's demonic path and Shang Ting's group found out that he had killed the Old Demon Crossing the Sea and disrupted their plans...

Then I don't even need to think about my future life.

To have even a day of peace is a great blessing.

Now that Hua Yaoyue is willing to take on these responsibilities, everything will be fine.

"Don't worry, I'll help you get more benefits."

Ji Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I feel like something is missing from my body, like that fixed-point teleportation token."

Hua Yaoyue laughed:

"Alright, alright, I know."

Ji Yuan: "Hehe."

"Once this matter is exposed when we get back, Shang Xi will most likely break off relations, and that will be the real time for the demonic path to launch a full-scale attack. You must be prepared."

Hua Yaoyue gave her some instructions.

Ji Yuan's smile faded. "Yes, Master, don't worry, I will."

"Yes, this is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity..." Hua Yaoyue stood in front of the flying boat, her hands behind her back, and looked up slightly at the sky. "A chance encounter."

"Disciple is here."

Ji Yuan could sense that Hua Yaoyue seemed to have something to say to him, but after waiting for a while, she was unable to say anything.

So Ji Yuan thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"Your disciple will always be by your side, Master."

"hehe."

Hua Yaoyue laughed when she heard this.

"You're not strong enough."

In short, this was a huge blow to Ji Yuan's hopes.

But then Hua Yaoyue said something else, though it was unclear whether it was from the heart or just words of comfort: "I'll wait for the day you can help me."

Ji Yuan replied in a deep voice, "Okay."

Hua Yaoyue's speed in piloting the flying boat was even faster than that of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea.

However, the enormous Black Dragon Island appeared in Ji Yuan's field of vision, and in the blink of an eye, he had already stepped onto the island.

"Junior Brother!"

Feng Zhitao was the first to shout.

Ran Kui, who was left, also quickly stood up.

Even though Yun Qianzai was already sitting on the rock, he managed a smile and nodded to Ji Yuan.

The best outcome is that all four brothers survived the ordeal.

"Your sect leader will send someone to clean up this mess. If you have nothing else to do, you can head back now."

After Hua Yaoyue finished speaking, Ran Kui took out the flying ship from his storage bag. Hua Yaoyue was still at the helm, with Feng Zhitao following closely behind. Ji Yuan and Ran Kui helped Yun Qianzai board the flying ship.

Then, under the gazing gazes of the many Qi Refining disciples from Black Dragon Island, the flying ship rose into the sky, disappeared into the clouds, and finally headed straight to the west.

After boarding the deck, Ji Yuan and Ran Kui placed Yun Qianzai by the railing and then lay down themselves.

The eldest and youngest brothers, who had miraculously survived, exchanged a smile.

"We still have to rely on our junior brother. If it weren't for him, the four of us would probably be dead here today." Ran Kui felt a sense of relief, as if he had escaped a disaster.

After all, he had fought the old demon who crossed the sea the most times and for the longest time.

Therefore, among the people present, no one understood the terror of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea better than him... He felt that his strength was quite good and he had no shortage of methods.

Even if one cannot become the most powerful in the early stages of the Golden Core realm, one can still ensure that one will not be defeated.

Even against a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who doesn't use magic weapons, he can still exchange a few blows.

But what about this old demon who crosses the sea?

Although both were at the mid-stage of Core Formation, Ran Kui was completely unable to resist.

Throughout the entire process, he was on the defensive and taking hits. If it weren't for the pills Ji Yuan gave him, and the fact that he was relatively thick-skinned... he probably wouldn't have lasted until Ji Yuan fired the cannon before he was killed.

"It was thanks to my senior brothers and sisters that we were able to hold off that old demon who crossed the sea; otherwise, even if I had this [Spirit Energy Cannon], I wouldn't have been able to use it."

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Yun Qianzai beside him.

"Moreover, the [Psionic Cannon] was also supported by my second senior brother, and he also helped with the repairs."

Yun Qianzai, who had been smiling, immediately regained his cold expression, then raised his head slightly, looking as if he had made a great contribution.

But that's the reality.

He himself knew that the second-hand psionic cannon he was given was not powerful enough to kill a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Firstly, it cannot be used so casually, and secondly, its power is far less than that.

It's truly baffling where this junior brother Ji Yuan came from.

"Alright, alright, stop being so polite. It's all thanks to our combined efforts, and we couldn't do without any of us." Feng Zhitao, sitting next to Hua Yaoyue, waved her hand.

"Junior brother, you still haven't told me where you were taken by that severed hand, or what happened afterward. I followed and searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you."

"This one?"

Ji Yuan turned around. On the way back, he also asked Hua Yaoyue what she thought, which was not to tell her about being taken into the Fallen Immortal Valley, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"That old demon was very cunning. After leading me east for a while, he turned and took me south, eventually hiding at the bottom of the sea. Luckily, I left some marks for my master along the way, which is how she found me."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he took out the corpse of the three-eyed dark beast from his storage bag. "By the way, this is a rare trophy. Let's divide it among the four of us."

Ran Kui then took out a storage bag.

"I also have Li Yuan's storage bag. I took a look, and most of the treasures on Black Dragon Island are in his storage bag. I guess the Old Demon Crossing the Sea had already started plotting when he had it."

"Let's divide them all together."

No matter when, dividing the spoils is always a happy thing.

There was no conflict among the four of them; they divided the money equally.

Ji Yuan received a thigh and many spine bones from the corpse of the Three-Eyed Dark Beast... The spine bones were used in the previous building upgrade, and his intuition told him that this was a good thing.

Ran Kui took all the remaining scales, saying he could use them to forge a top-grade spiritual artifact-level protective armor.

As for Li Yuan's storage bag, Ji Yuan glanced at it and saw that it contained only one top-grade spiritual artifact.

A large sword was not his forte.

In the end, he converted his harvest into spirit stones, took only one Heavenly Thunder Stone, and didn't want anything else.

Thinking of the Heavenly Thunder Seed, Ji Yuan decided to go back this time to improve his experience in weapon crafting and see if he could refine the Heavenly Thunder Seed as soon as possible.

Even so, the four of them still lost money.

Ji Yuan destroyed one of his [Spirit Energy Cannons] and has to go back to build a new one. As for Ran Kui and the other two, they were seriously injured and even used the wine cups that Hua Yaoyue had given them.

Fortunately, Hua Yaoyue said that she would make a new wine cup for each of them after they returned.

Used only for self-defense.

Oh no, Ji Yuan doesn't need it, and he's not exactly at a loss either.

Putting aside the useless Yin Gui Sect token, the inherited Nascent Soul cultivation technique alone is an incredibly valuable item.

Ji Yuan was prepared to go back and pass it down first, and then tell Hua Yaoyue after seeing the effect.

The last piece of human skin paper... Ji Yuan didn't have time to examine it closely when he was in the Fallen Immortal Gully. Now that he had some free time, he used his divine sense to invade the storage bag and examine it carefully.

The human skin paper wasn't very large; when unfolded, it was about the size of an adult man's back.

The top is marked with many lines and has many reference objects drawn, including sea areas, islands and reefs, and even sea creatures.

Ji Yuan looked at it for a while, and suddenly understood what it was.

Nautical chart!

This is the sea chart that the Old Demon Crossing the Sea used to traverse two continents!

After discovering its purpose, Ji Yuan quickly found his previous entrance on the left side of the nautical chart, and the distance he had traveled was less than one ten-thousandth of the entire nautical chart.

The journey ahead was even more complicated.

It felt like the slightest misstep could send you plunging into an abyss.

For example, in the latter half of this nautical chart, there is an area marked in red.

[Activity range of the fourth-tier sea beast, the Sky-Devouring Whale].

Is this a treasure?

Without a doubt, this is a real treasure!

So Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then sent a telepathic message to Hua Yaoyue, saying, "Master, I have obtained the sea chart of the Old Demon Crossing the Sea."
