Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 34 Fellow Disciples

Strictly speaking, this is the first time Ji Yuan has actually set sail since his time travel.

He usually just travels to and from Zengtou City.

The last time he ventured deep into Yunyuze, he was with Qiu Qianhai... Thinking of this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but think of his old friend.

It has been four or five months since he left Zengtou City.

During this time, Ji Yuan also secretly inquired about his news in Zengtou City. The bad news was that he got nothing, and the good news was also that he got nothing.

This at least shows that the Qin family also has no leads on him.

As long as he isn't caught by the Qin family, Ji Yuan believes that with his ruthlessness, he will most likely survive.

The white boat slid across the water at an incredible speed. Along the way, it encountered several fishermen who were also setting out on their boats, but they all slowed down when they saw the white shadow flash across the lake.

Some even stopped completely, afraid of accidentally bumping into this "senior".

In order to maintain his condition, Ji Yuan not only used spirit stones to power the magic ship, but also always carried a spirit stone in his hand to ensure that he remained at his peak at all times.

Huai Shu Island, as its name suggests.

An exceptionally large locust tree grows on this island, and cultivators passing by often rest here, so it can barely be considered a peaceful area within the Cloud Rain Marsh.

Few people would take action here.

Two hours later, Ji Yuan landed on the island, and Bai Zhou was put into his storage bag.

Compared to before, his complexion was much darker now, and he had a lot more beard on his chin.

He has clearly transformed from a handsome young man into a rather mature middle-aged man.

After arriving on the island, Ji Yuan went straight to the locust tree. Coincidentally, when he came over, he found only a young female cultivator sitting under the shade of the tree.

She has an ordinary appearance, but judging from her posture... she is a woman who can bear children easily.

As for his cultivation level, Ji Yuan could see right through him; he was only at the third level of Qi Refining, nothing special.

Ji Yuan arrived at this point, and she also looked up.

"A bone-rotting flower?"

The female cultivator didn't probe at all; she went straight to the point.

"Um."

Ji Yuan focused his mind on the White Water Flying Sword in the storage bag and then nodded.

Hearing this, the female cultivator breathed a slight sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak, she saw two more Dharma boats land on the shore.

Let's talk about this somewhere else.

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he arrived at the other side of the locust tree island, which was also the lakeside... If anything went wrong, he would steer the boat away.

The female cultivator followed.

"Do you have the Bone-Rotting Flower?" Ji Yuan asked directly.

"Um."

The female cultivator nodded slightly. Before Ji Yuan could ask another question, she reached into her chest and took out a small jade box. She opened it and found a flower that looked like a balsam lying inside. It was grayish-black and emitted wisps of black smoke, along with a musty smell.

"This is the bone-rotting flower that you needed, senior."

The female cultivator handed over the jade box with both hands, her boldness surprising even Ji Yuan.

So he didn't accept, but just silently looked at the female cultivator in front of him without saying a word.

"Just one flower is certainly not enough for you, senior, so please consider it a deposit." The female cultivator smiled, her smile rather poignant.

"Deposit? How can I get the rest?"

Ji Yuan remained unmoved by the female cultivator's poignant smile, and instead asked with a smile.

Seeing that Ji Yuan was not responding, the female cultivator had no choice but to put the request away. "I would like to ask you to help me kill someone. If you can do that, I will naturally offer you the remaining Bone-Rotting Flowers."

"Who to kill?"

This request was within Ji Yuan's expectations, so he wasn't surprised.

"Black Mist Island, the Demon Island Lord."

The female cultivator spoke each word with gritted teeth.

The Ghost Island Master… Ji Yuan frowned slightly, he had never heard of such a person.

"Which market are you from?"

The Locust Tree Island that Ji Yuan came to this time was already adjacent to Jing'an Ward, which could be considered a public area among the many wards and markets of Yunyuze.

"I am from Huaiyin Ward."

Before Ji Yuan could ask further, she continued, "That Ghost Island Lord is also from our Huaiyin Village. He has the cultivation level of the fifth stage of Qi Refining, but because he occupies the easily defensible Black Mist Island, many people on Huaiyin Island can't do anything about him..."

As the female cultivator explained in detail, Ji Yuan finally understood what had happened.

The female cultivator's name was Wei Caishan, and she was a cultivator from Huaiyinfang.

Years ago, when her parents were on a ship, they were killed and robbed by the island lord of Black Mist Island simply because they were passing by it.

According to Wei Caishan, the reason was that the island lord had taken a liking to her mother's beauty... In short, it was a scene of kidnapping and killing cultivators.

Wei Caishan had no hope of revenge herself, so she could only place her hopes on others.

"Both I and that Ghost Island Master are at the mid-stage of Qi Refining. If I go to find him, I'll have to risk my life. A few mere Bone-Rotting Flowers... are not worth risking my life for."

Ji Yuan shook his head. "Keep it. Goodbye."

After saying this, Ji Yuan turned to leave, but Wei Caishan hurriedly called him back.

"Senior, senior."

"Is there anything else?"

Ji Yuan turned around, frowned, and asked.

Although the Bone-Rotting Flower is precious, it seems that no one else needs it except for herself. So, Wei Caishan can only turn to herself... If it's something that we both need, then there's no need to risk our lives.

Ji Yuan could have used more spirit stones to have Wei Caishan bribe someone else to do the job.

This is his true thought.

"If you're willing to help, senior, besides this Bone-Rotting Flower... you can do anything you want to me." Wei Caishan said, bowing her head deeply, her ears turning red. "You can do it anytime."

For a moment, Ji Yuan didn't know what to say.

So he paused for a moment, then clasped his hands in a slight gesture of respect, saying, "Take care, fellow Daoist."

He leaped up and landed on the lake. As he did so, a white boat appeared on its own, carrying him away in a streak of white light.

"forward……"

Wei Caishan seemed to want to call out, but Ji Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

She could only sigh deeply.

Ji Yuan left, but not completely. After leaving Wei Caishan's sight, he quickly went ashore from the back of a nearby island, concealed his presence, and silently observed Wei Caishan's figure under the cover of the reeds.

Huaiyinfang is located near Heishuifang, quite far from here.

Ji Yuan estimated that with Wei Caishan's strength, it was impossible for her to travel so far to come to Locust Tree Island to meet him. If that was the case, then she most likely lived in Jing'an Ward nearby...

Ji Yuan wanted to follow them to see what was going on.

Judging from what she just said, Ji Yuan doesn't quite believe what Wei Caishan said... There are many loopholes in her words, whether it's about her parents or her origins in Huaiyinfang.

In just a short while, Ji Yuan watched as Wei Caishan sailed away on a dark black magic ship.

How could a Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator who had fallen from the outer market afford a Dharma Boat?

This is getting interesting.

Ji Yuan summoned the white boat and followed closely behind.

He lingered there for a while, and then, after a short time, he realized that Wei Caishan was not heading towards the nearby Jing'anfang, but rather straight north.

Something's strange... Just as Ji Yuan was thinking of turning around and leaving, he suddenly noticed a pure black magic ship flashing out from the island next to him.

A tall man dressed in black robes stood atop the Dharma boat. He looked at Ji Yuan and bowed slightly, saying:

"Fellow Daoist, I have plenty of Bone-Rotting Flowers."

Ji Yuan stopped the Dharma boat and turned to look at Wei Caishan, who had already circled back. How could he not know that he had fallen into a trap after all?

He summoned the White Water Flying Sword with his mind, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, each held a stack of water arrow talismans.

Seeing that Ji Yuan remained silent, the man in black robes smiled slightly and said:

"Fellow Daoist, don't panic. Now that you know the secret of the Bone-Rotting Flower, we can call ourselves fellow disciples."
