Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 30 News

Ji Yuan had never seen or heard of any three-colored spirit egg.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Level 3 buildings are something that only those in the Foundation Establishment stage can possess. It's normal that someone as lowly as Qi Refining in the mid-stage wouldn't know about them.

I just don't know its value... or what its purpose is.

The three-colored spirit egg, judging from its name, must be much better than the ordinary spirit egg, and since there is only one per day, its effects must be excellent.

Another upgrade requirement is to use rotten firefly locust trees to make chicken coops, but I don't know what these rotten firefly locust trees are.

Moreover, the name itself has a sinister feel to it.

As Ji Yuan was thinking, he suddenly noticed that in the corner of the level 2 chicken coop, a small mound of soil suddenly had a few wisps of spiritual energy.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to shimmer with tiny white lights.

This is... the Spirit Land!

Ji Yuan immediately used his magic to collect the 1 qian of spiritual soil.

If you take this to Zengtou City, you could easily sell it for 5 spirit stones.

Spiritual soil is worthless, but the spiritual plants that can be grown from it are valuable.

Moreover, this spiritual soil is unlike other water dews or blood essences, which are disposable consumables; this stuff can be reused.

Ji Yuan plans to create a pure spiritual soil field for himself, so he doesn't intend to sell the spiritual soil produced by this chicken coop.

After finishing the chicken coop upgrade, Ji Yuan returned to his [Talisman Room] to practice drawing talismans.

But before it got dark, he suddenly heard someone knocking on his courtyard gate.

anyone?

Having already reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, Ji Yuan no longer needed the lightning strike talisman to bolster his courage. He arrived at the front yard and, before even opening the door, roughly guessed who it was based on their aura.

Wen Ling'er's father, Wen Lin, lives next door.

Ji Yuan had dealt with him several times and had a good impression of him. He was an educated man who was not only very polite but also knew how to conduct himself appropriately.

He also occasionally goes out fishing, but he also seems to be an alchemist.

Therefore, there was not much pressure in Zengtou City.

Ji Yuan opened the door, and it really was him.

Wearing a cotton robe, Wen Lin smiled and cupped his hands in apology. "I apologize for disturbing Fellow Daoist Ji's cultivation."

"Fellow Daoist Wen, you're too kind."

Ji Yuan smiled and waited for the next installment.

Wen Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "It is like this, I have prepared a small feast at home tonight, and I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Ji to join me."

Invited me to dinner… Ji Yuan instinctively thought of refusing; he never participated in such events.

Before he could speak, Wen Lin said again, "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just that we've been living here for so long and haven't invited our two neighbors to dinner yet, so I came to invite them. Fellow Daoist Lin next door has already accepted."

Since things had come to this point, and Ji Yuan saw that this neighbor was a decent family, at least not the likes of Old Man Huang and Deng Yunliang, he nodded in agreement.

After a while, Ji Yuan carried five spirit eggs into the Wen family's courtyard.

Ji Yuan naturally couldn't be impolite to such an invitation, especially since it came from his closest neighbor.

As for the five spirit eggs, it wasn't a big deal for Ji Yuan, since the Green Yellow Chicken laid 30 spirit eggs every day.

Ji Yuan has already started experimenting with steaming and frying spirit eggs.

"Brother Ji, hehe, wait for me."

Hearing Ji Yuan leave, Lin Hu quickly brought Wu Qin over.

Compared to three months ago, Lin Hu is now noticeably darker, and his face has lost its childishness, instead looking somewhat... lifeless.

Only when he's with Ji Yuan, and the few simple words he occasionally utters, can reveal his age.

Wu Qin, who was beside him, was in a similar situation. When she looked at Ji Yuan, she no longer had any ulterior motives. Instead, she treated Ji Yuan like her good older brother next door, just like Lin Hu.

After the couple both advanced to the third level of Qi Refining, they always went out on the ship together, even when there was no magic ship and they did not go to the deep water area.

But things are getting better and better.

At least I no longer have to worry about the monthly fee of 3 coins.

Even when he came to the Wen family for dinner today, Lin Hu brought a half-spirit fish as a gift... It was quite valuable to him, but it also showed his intention to make connections.

Zhao Yuechan's culinary skills are superb, and she also serves dishes of high quality such as spirit pig and semi-spirit fish.

So Ji Yuan also managed to eat his fill.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group sat down to rest inside, and Zhao Yuechan brought out melon seeds and dried fruit.

During their casual conversation, Wen Lin inadvertently revealed his background.

"Brother Wen, are you from Heishui City?" Ji Yuan asked in surprise.

Unlike Tai'an, Jing'an, and Jingde Sanfang, which are all neighbors of Zengtou City, Heishui City is quite far away.

It is basically face-to-face with Zengtou City, spanning the entire Yunyuze.

"Exactly."

Wen Lin's expression faltered slightly, but he eventually nodded.

Ji Yuan guessed that they had probably encountered some trouble in Heishui City, which was why they fled to Zengtou City, so he didn't ask any more questions. After a moment's thought, he asked instead:

"Brother Wen, have you ever heard of this 'Rotting Bone Flower'?"

As for Cold Iron Sand, Ji Yuan knew where to get it, and he had already bought some himself.

However, he had never heard of the Corrupting Bone Flower that could upgrade the Pigpen. Now that he had the chance to meet a fellow Daoist who had come from afar, he naturally thought of asking about it.

"A bone-rotting flower?"

Wen Lin frowned and pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"I have never heard of this before."

Just when Ji Yuan thought there was no news again, Wen Lin said, "I can point you in the right direction, Brother Ji."

"I'd like to hear the details," Ji Yuan said quickly.

"On the third day of each month, shop number 18 in Zengtou City will open. Their group travels to all the markets and towns in Yunyuze. You can go there and ask. If they don't have it there, it means that there is no such thing as the Bone-Rotting Flower in the entire Yunyuze."

Shop No. 18, Jia.

Ji Yuan silently memorized the place, then stood up and bowed to Wen Lin, saying, "Thank you, Brother Wen."

"It's alright, it's just that the prices there will be a bit higher, so please be prepared, Brother Ji."

"..."

Finding out this news over dinner was already an unexpected bonus for Ji Yuan.

As for the secrets of the Wen family, he had no interest in knowing them. The more secrets he knew, the deeper he would sink, and by the time he realized it, it would probably be too late to turn back.

It's November 19th now, so we can only wait until December 3rd.

Ji Yuan spent some more time cultivating at home, and before he was done, he saved up some spirit stones, which he used to buy a basic magic artifact.

The magical artifact is called "Dragon Armor Shield," a name that sounds incredibly powerful, and it cost Ji Yuan a full 25 spirit stones.

It's actually a basic magic weapon made from the shell of a first-tier spirit tortoise in Yunyu Marsh. It's not particularly outstanding, but it's practical.

In this way, including the Dharma boat, Ji Yuan now possesses four Dharma artifacts.

Bai Zhou escaped, Wu Jin Dao launched the main attack, and the Deadly Needle was used for assassination and sneak attacks, plus now he had the Dragon Armor Shield for protection.

Ji Yuan felt that he could barely be considered a well-rounded individual.

The weather grew increasingly bitter and cold, so cold that even Lin Hu dared not set sail for Yunyu Marsh. It was in such weather that Ji Yuan arrived at the Jia 18 shop mentioned by Wen Lin.
