Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 301 Old Demon Qiu! [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"Alright, since we have nothing to do tonight, let me tell you about the young master of the Demon Flame Palace. This young master is a witch."

"It's a camel," the camel said slowly.

"Witch?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan subconsciously thought to himself... "The taste of a witch must be really good."

"Indeed, I heard that when this young master Ji was born, he had two horns on his head and a purple tail. He was able to crawl and walk in just a few days."

"Is this even human?"

"Then why would you call her a witch?"

Camel asked in return.

"That's true," Ji Yuan agreed.

"I heard that less than half a month after the incident, the news of her birth reached the attention of True Lord Demon Flame, who personally came to take her away. So I heard that this witch is only twelve years old now, but she is already the young master of Demon Flame Palace."

"What is this young master's name?"

"It seems to be called... Himeji."

"Hime Chika? That's a good name, I remembered it right away."

Ji Yuan remembered it immediately: the young master of the Demon Flame Palace was a witch named Ji Zhi.

"And what about our young master of the White Bone Sect?"

Ji Yuan had already naturally assumed his identity.

"Heh, if we're talking about titles, then naturally our White Bone Sect's young master has the most imposing reputation."

Luo Ma had a strong sense of pride in his sect, and he even unconsciously held his head high and puffed out his chest while speaking.

"Oh?"

"Our young master of the White Bone Sect is named—Ye Wutian!"

"Wow, that name is indeed very imposing."

Ji Yuan subconsciously felt that Yun Qianzai would like this title very much.

"That's natural. Who in the entire Shangxi region doesn't know the name of our Young Master Wutian? I believe it won't be long before Young Master Wutian's name resounds throughout the entire Shangdong region as well."

"That's for sure."

Ji Yuan agreed wholeheartedly.

"Alright, the boss has promised that as long as we perform a great service, he will take us to see Young Master Wutian."

After finishing his sentence, the camel patted its behind, got up, and left.

...Making contributions again, it seems the corporate culture of this demonic path is quite serious, always trying to make empty promises to people.

Ji Yuan muttered to himself but didn't say anything. He simply went to the place that Konghun Sanren had arranged for him in Baisui Town.

Once he arrived and settled down, he carefully recalled what Luo Ma had said, especially the news related to Jiang Hong.

With both parents possessing Nascent Souls and having received the Blood King's inheritance, they are now capable of directly defeating Golden Core cultivators.

It seems that avenging Old Master Xu Fugui won't be so easy.

Moreover, Ji Yuan felt that even if he really killed Jiang Hong now, he would most likely be hunted down by the Blood King and his wife until he had nowhere to run or where.

Unless... we wait until I reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Ji Yuan didn't know if he was destined for this; he could only say that with the panel's assistance, his chances of forming a Nascent Soul were slightly higher than others.

But as long as one can form a Nascent Soul, it's the same as being able to establish a Foundation Establishment nowadays.

Ji Yuan felt that after he formed his Nascent Soul, his strength should be extremely powerful among all the Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if Jiang Hong also formed his Nascent Soul, it shouldn't be difficult for him to kill him.

If that's the case, then let's hope we can both live to see that day.

……

After saying goodbye to Ji Yuan, Luo Ma didn't hide anything but went openly to the residence of the Empty Soul Hermit.

"You mean, he's very curious about the affairs of our three young masters from Shangxi?"

"That's right. As for the rest... I didn't ask much, and I was quite interested in Jiang Hong's affairs."

"I think back," camel said.

"That makes sense. Who wouldn't want to be a young master? Besides, Jiang Hong's life... who in Shangxi wouldn't envy him? It seems this person is mostly fine. Here's what we'll do: take him out again in a few days and find him a few righteous cultivators to see if he can bring himself to do it."

"This is what Konghun Sanren arranged," he said.

A few days later, Luo Ma hurriedly came to report back to Konghun Sanren.

"What? You mean he not only kills those from the righteous path, but also those from the demonic path...?"

"They don't even want spirit stones, they just want their corpses?!"

Konghun Sanren was somewhat astonished upon hearing this news.

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen someone who only wants corpses and not spirit stones. Moreover, he also has a Thousand Soul Banner. Once released, the ghosts there blot out the sky, and their aura terrifies me."

"I wonder how many people he's killed!"

"I am certain," said the camel.

"Hiss, they even have the Thousand Soul Banner."

After listening, Konghun Sanren waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to test him anymore. This is a demonic cultivator, and a demonic cultivator among demonic cultivators... It's one thing to kill both righteous and demonic beings, but he even has an evil artifact like the Thousand Soul Banner."

"Qiu Qianhai... given time, I'm afraid a great demon named Qiu will be born."

Having witnessed Ji Yuan's abilities, Luo Ma nodded in agreement, "I think so too. If Qiu Qianhai isn't a demonic cultivator, then there's no one else in the world who is."

"..."

"It seems this group of demonic cultivators isn't very capable either. They took me out for a few days and only managed to kill two Foundation Establishment cultivators, one of whom I had to forcibly kill."

Ji Yuan looked at the two corpses in the storage bag and felt somewhat disappointed.

"Alright, I won't go out for the next few days. I'll explore this Hundred-Year Town first and see if I can buy some corpses, or rather, immortal resources."

No matter where he is, Ji Yuan can adapt to any situation and integrate into it as quickly as possible.

But after making some inquiries, he realized that he had met his match.

Because Xueluo Mountain was also collecting corpses from all over the place.

The vast amount of immortal resources created on Shang Mountain in the past ultimately ended up in the hands of Xue Luo Mountain.

This was true even when they arrived in Shangdong.

...It seems I'm really at odds with Xueluo Mountain. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll definitely make Xueluo Mountain give me an explanation!

Since he couldn't buy it, Ji Yuan decided to do it himself.

It all boils down to one word: kill!

For example, if we kill all of this group of demonic cultivators, even if some of their corpses are damaged, at least a few will be left behind.

Based on what Ji Yuan knows so far, they will coordinate with Liu Yuan and his group to launch a coordinated attack from within.

As long as Changkun can temporarily hold off this pseudo-core-realm Void Soul cultivator, there shouldn't be a big problem.

I just don't know when they'll be able to get here.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan wasn't in a hurry; it was just a matter of waiting a little longer. Besides, he was living a fairly comfortable life in Baishui Town.

Ji Yuan was still a little puzzled about why he couldn't get in touch with Chang Kun and the others.

After all, when they parted ways, Changkun and the others weren't actually that far from Baishui Town, so it's unlikely they haven't arrived by now after all this time.

Could it be that something else got in the way?

It couldn't be that they encountered some kind of danger.

Ji Yuan found one thing strange.

The message talisman cannot be used to contact you.

Just as he was about to go out to look for him, he suddenly received a message from Konghun Sanren.

"Brother Qiu, if you have nothing to do, come over here."

Since it was the hermit of the Void Soul who invited him, Ji Yuan could not refuse. However, when he arrived at the hermit's residence, he discovered that he was not the only one who came; his good friend, Camel, was also there.

"Greetings, Brother Konghun and Brother Luoma."

Ji Yuan was now sporting the same appearance Qiu Qianhai had when he was in Guixuntang—rugged and with a thick beard—so he entered with an extremely bold and magnanimous fist salute.

"Brother Qiu, sit down and let's talk."

After Ji Yuan sat down, the Empty Soul Hermit raised his hand and activated the restrictions in the room.

Ji Yuan remained calm upon seeing this. He was not worried at all that the Void Soul Hermit would discover his identity. He figured that this commotion was probably just for discussing some matter.

"It's like this, the reason I called Brother Qiu over today is because there's something I'm afraid I need Brother Qiu to do."

Konghun Sanren said thoughtfully.

"Brother Konghun, please speak freely. Your affairs are my affairs, Qiu Qianhai's affairs!"

Ji Yuan thumped his chest loudly.

"Good, as expected of our good brothers in the demonic path!"

Hearing Ji Yuan's unambiguous words, Konghun Sanren felt reassured. He turned around and returned to his seat, then began to speak: "This is how it is."

"Brother Qiu, have you ever heard of the Demon Hunter Squad?"

Ji Yuan, who had initially been somewhat casual, felt a stirring in his heart upon hearing this, but outwardly remained calm as he said:

"I've heard some of my brothers mention it. They say it's just a team formed by some Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, as the righteous path is putting up a stubborn resistance."

"But with Brother Konghun around, this damned demon-hunting squad is nothing but a rabble, a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

Ji Yuan waved his hand and spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Cough cough."

Konghun Sanren quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment, "You can't say that. This Demon Hunter team consists of the geniuses of the six sects of Shangdong. They do have the strength."

"So, Brother Konghun, why did you summon me here?"

When Ji Yuan said this, he already had some doubts in his heart.

...Could it be that Changkun and his gang have already fallen into a trap?

Otherwise, why haven't we heard anything for so long?

Moreover, this also shows that Shang Xilai's demonic path is truly effective, and more importantly, he is ruthless and not a single one of his followers is a fool!

That's fucking difficult.

"Since Brother Qiu is so frank, then I will tell you the truth. It's like this: we have been watching this demon-hunting team for a long time. In fact, the reason I chose to set up a base here was to lure this demon-hunting team into a trap."

Konghun Sanren directly stated the matter.

Ji Yuan felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this... Damn it, so this is why high-level hunters often appear as prey?

He used himself as bait.

Is this something a human could force to happen?!

Changkun and his group thought they had found a suitable group of demonic cultivators, but little did they know that they were the ones being targeted!

All I can say is, brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

"Actually, I had already taken action against that demon-hunting team not long ago, but unfortunately, I was not strong enough and did not have complete confidence. I only managed to kill one person. But I knew at the time that as long as we did not leave, they would definitely come back for revenge."

After Konghun Sanren finished speaking, Luoma immediately followed up with:

"Just as the boss predicted, that demon-hunting team is back now, and we've led them around the area several times."

...Oh, I see. That explains why I couldn't get in touch with them.

With his doubts resolved, Ji Yuan became cautious and prudent.

"So, Brother Konghun, what do you mean... you want me, Old Chou, to do?"

Ji Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Here's the thing, we've trapped that demon-hunting team inside a valley formation, but to ensure everything goes smoothly, we haven't made a move yet."

"So I was thinking of having you and Luo Ma go to our headquarters to invite three pseudo-Core Formation cultivators over. Then we'll give this demon-hunting team a brutal annihilation!"

As Konghun Sanren spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace.

...Isn't it said that the demonic path is reckless?

Why are the demonic cultivators I encounter these days all more cautious than the last?

You, a mere fake Core Formation cultivator, have already trapped this group of righteous cultivators inside the formation, yet you still think of inviting three more fake Core Formation cultivators over.

Even someone as steady as an old dog wouldn't be as steady as you, right?

Although he was internally complaining, Ji Yuan still gave a thumbs up on the surface.

"Brilliant! Brother Konghun is indeed brilliant."

"It's both tall and hard!"

Hearing Ji Yuan's praise, Konghun Sanren waved his hand and then said in a serious tone:

"Brother Qiu, you flatter me. Actually, the reason I sent you to the branch this time is because you've just arrived and haven't shown your face in our White Bone Sect yet."

"So let the llama lead you to see it for yourself."

Ji Yuan was deeply moved upon hearing this and immediately stood up and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Kong Hun Sanren.

"Brother Konghun's kindness is appreciated; I, Lao Chou, will remember it. From now on, if Brother Konghun is in trouble, then it is my turn to be in trouble!"

"Haha, good job! You truly are my good brother, Konghun Sanren!"

Konghun Sanren laughed and said, "Then we should not delay. Brother Qiu, why don't you and Brother Luo Ma go to the hall to ask for help? We should go to the valley to guard it now, so that those righteous cultivators don't escape."

"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now!"

As Ji Yuan spoke, he began to walk towards the door. "Brother Luo Ma, hurry up and follow me!"

After leaving Baishui Town, Ji Yuan followed behind the camel, riding his skull, and flew eastward.

At the same time, his mind was racing.

...In this light, it's not without reason that Konghun Sanren killed Wang Luo back then, because he was the only array master in the team at the time. If he hadn't killed him, Changkun and the others probably wouldn't have fallen into this array now.

How cunning! This demonic path is truly cunning!

Therefore, we definitely cannot let this camel go to the hall now. If it does go and attracts three demonic cultivators at the pseudo-core stage, then unless a core cultivator comes to the rescue, there will be no way to save it.

So the best way is to secretly kill the llamas on the way!

He truly fell from his horse.

Otherwise, there is no other way.

"Brother Qiu, now you know how powerful our boss is, right? Actually, sometimes I really admire his brain. I don't know how it's formed, but he can come up with such a perfect plan."

The voice of a camel echoed in Ji Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, clicking its tongue in amazement:

"Like this demon-hunting team in front of me, I basically watched them fall into our trap step by step."

"Indeed powerful. Someone like the boss is destined to live a long life."

"Hey, that's for sure. Our boss will be leading us all to Core Formation."

"Oh, right."

As if remembering something, Ji Yuan casually asked, "Where is that demon-hunting team trapped? I haven't heard a thing."

After Luo Ma finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow. "Of course, with the boss's abilities, how could the news have leaked? This place is actually not far from our Baishui Town, it's just a little south in Luomei Mountain."

"Strong, I can only say that he is too strong. The boss is indeed the boss."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he tried his best to unleash his divine sense and perceive the surrounding situation.

There were no other cultivators nearby, but it was still a bit close to Baishui Town. If we made a move now, we might be discovered. It would be better to move a little further away first.

As Ji Yuan pondered this, he heard the camel say:

"Actually, there's another reason why the boss sent us to this branch, but he can't say it outright."

"What is it?"

Ji Yuan did indeed become somewhat curious.

At the same time, he increasingly felt how troublesome the Void Soul Hermit was; even at this point, he still had a trick up his sleeve.

"You don't really think that we can get other fake Core cultivators to do it without paying a price, do you?" Camel asked with a hint of curiosity.

"this……"

Ji Yuan slowed down the flight speed. "But Brother Kong Hun didn't give us anything. Are we supposed to pay those three fake Core Formation cultivators out of our own pockets?"

"I, Lao Chou, will not do that. I am so poor that I cannot afford to hire a fake Core Formation cultivator."

Ji Yuan made a move to return.

Luo Ma quickly grabbed him, "Hey, Brother Qiu, what are you doing? Don't worry, the reward the boss gave me is all with me. It's just that... there's a fake Core Formation cultivator who's quite troublesome. I'm afraid you'll need to accompany her for a few days after the job is done."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Yuan really didn't understand.

"Well, that fake Core cultivator is a female cultivator who is skilled in dual cultivation techniques, so you understand, the boss specifically gave you this kind of good fortune."

As Luo Ma spoke, a hint of anticipation and envy lingered in his eyes.

Dual cultivation?

It's probably not some kind of sexual cultivation technique!

Ji Yuan is now gaining a deeper understanding of the demonic path, and in short... there isn't a single good one among them!

They're all a bunch of scoundrels, except for Qiu Qianhai, of course.

"In that case, I'll leave this good fortune to Brother Luo Ma," Ji Yuan said with a smile.

A fleeting, unnatural look crossed Luo Ma's face, but he quickly concealed it. "Fine, fine, Brother Qiu has just arrived. This wonderful job should be given to you...you..."

As the camel spoke, it suddenly let out a muffled groan, and its entire aura instantly plummeted to rock bottom.

As a sharp pain shot through his chest, he struggled to look down at the right hand that had pierced through his chest, bright red and dripping with blood, with his heart still clutched in the center of the hand.

A heart beating slightly.

"That's... my heart. So this is what my heart looks like?"

"Qiu Qianhai, you...you...why..."

The lama's eyes were filled with disbelief. He struggled to make a sound, but could not utter a complete sentence.

"It's nothing. I already told you your name wasn't good. You can go with peace of mind."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he placed the heart that had stopped beating back into the man's chest cavity, keeping the body as intact as possible so that when the man crawled out of the mass grave again, his strength would not have declined too much.

at the same time.

At the summit of Mount Luomei, the Soul Recluse, who had been feigning sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. He sensed the extinguished soul lamp in his storage bag, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes!

...There was still a problem!

Damn it, these righteous people are such hypocrites!

After much hesitation, he glanced down at the crimson array and ultimately chose to flee.

I only have one life.

As long as I'm alive, I'm not afraid of not having the righteous path to kill me!

It's best to leave now!

With this thought in mind, he pulled the cloak over himself, uttered the word "escape," and vanished from the spot in an instant.
