Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 36 Making a Big Profit

The moment Ji Yuan left the water, the black mist that had entered his body with lake water dissipated.

He breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, hiding underwater, he would have drowned, even if he hadn't been killed by the island's lord.

But just as Ji Yuan broke through the water and his body was suspended in the air, the Ghost Island Master waved the black banner in his hand, and the two black mist ghost heads flew over again.

Ji Yuan urged the White Water Flying Sword to meet the attack.

Immediately afterwards, the Ghost Island Master tapped his hands in the void several times, and with each tap, a pale blue spiritual light was emitted.

Water droplet finger!!

Ji Yuan was extremely familiar with the water droplet finger technique!

This old thief actually knows this kind of magic... Ji Yuan's body fell into the water, but was caught by the white boat, and the water droplet finger he was about to hit was blocked by the dragon armor shield.

He used this opportunity to retreat several feet.

Seeing that the flying sword had been entangled by the black mist ghost head again, Ji Yuan also raised his hand and frantically tapped repeatedly.

The pale blue spiritual light was emitted as if it were free.

Previously, the Ghost Island Master had only used five or six Water Drop Finger strikes in succession before he could not withstand the backlash pain. But now, Ji Yuan... even after striking out sixteen Water Drop Finger strikes in succession, there was still no reaction.

"What?!"

When Ji Yuan unleashed his Water Drop Finger, even the Ghost Island Master was astonished.

For a moment, Ji Yuan's Water Drop Finger struck the two black mist ghost heads to pieces, and the White Water Flying Sword, which had been entangled, was able to break free and once again attack the Ghost Island Master.

After a brief moment of surprise, the French boat sank, and its figure immediately disappeared into the lake.

This time, it was his turn to enter the water.

Ji Yuan summoned back his flying sword with a wave of his hand, and the white boat beneath his feet swept away.

Just as he was thinking of leaving this place, the black mist that was originally floating on the lake began to churn and roll. He flew several miles away, but still could not break through the black mist.

Strange, very strange. The black mist had only covered an area of ​​about a mile before, but now that I've rushed out this far, why am I still in the black mist?

Two words suddenly popped into Ji Yuan's mind for no apparent reason.

Formation!

This must be an array formation to have such an effect. The black banner that the Ghost Island Master is holding is most likely an array flag.

But how could this small Yunyuze, which is only in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, have such a thing as an array? Could it really be related to the sect inheritance he mentioned?

Since there's no way to escape, Ji Yuan has no choice but to stay.

As the speed of the magic ship beneath his feet slowed, his mind raced, searching for a way to break the deadlock.

Whether it was the magical artifacts used by the island lord or the formation he employed, Ji Yuan viewed them as sinister and evil.

So he naturally thought of the Crimson Blood in his storage bag, which was a masculine substance.

Regardless of whether it can break the formation, it will definitely have some effect.

He took out a bottle of Crimson Crown Blood, splashed a few drops, and then the flying sword flew over it. In an instant, a few streaks of blood appeared on the flying sword.

Wherever it passed, the black mist was parted like a curtain.

There is a play!

This rooster's comb blood can actually break through the black mist!

Ji Yuan spilled half of the rooster's blood onto the blade of his flying sword, and then urged the flying sword to continuously slash through the black mist.

A moment passed, and he finally managed to break through a passage.

He boarded the magic boat and set off, but as soon as he came out, he saw the Ghost Island Master sitting cross-legged on the black boat, looking as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"They do have some skill; they even have the blood from the comb of a red-crested chicken."

Oni Island twitched the corners of his mouth, as if revealing a mocking smile.

Ji Yuan panicked and, without hesitation, immediately used the superior-grade Water Escape Talisman that he had bought for more than twenty spirit stones.

His figure vanished from the lake surface in an instant.

But at the very moment he disappeared, a huge golden magic seal fell from nowhere and crashed onto the lake.

"Bang—"

The Dharma seal entered the water, instantly creating a huge wave, with surging waves.

The superior-grade talisman, the Golden Seal Talisman, missed its mark. The Ghost Island Master slapped his thigh, jumped up abruptly, and cried out, "You scoundrel!"

Before he could make another move, Ji Yuan's cold voice rang out from afar, "You'll taste what it's like to be smashed."

Before Ji Yuan's voice had even finished, a character '镇' (zhen, meaning "suppress") radiating a rich golden light appeared out of thin air and descended upon the Ghost Island Master, suppressing him.

It's also a top-grade talisman, a demon-suppressing talisman!

"Senior brother, why go to such lengths!"

The island lord panicked and hurriedly shouted something before slapping a talisman onto his body.

In an instant, countless black scales sprouted from his black robe, and the phantom of a long black snake appeared, its head raised high to shield him from the falling demon-suppressing talisman.

Even so, the black scales growing from his black robe continued to fall off.

Although Ji Yuan couldn't discern the origin of the superior protective talisman he had just used, he knew that this demon-suppressing talisman had a natural restraining effect on evil cultivators like him!

So he didn't waste the opportunity and once again sent out the White Water Flying Sword to help.

The flying sword stained with rooster blood seemed to be even more effective than talismans; with just a swipe, the black scales were continuously sliced ​​off.

Under the combined attack, the black snake phantom shattered even faster.

The demon-suppressing talisman also dimmed.

The island lord's body sank, and he suddenly shouted. He summoned the black banner array flags that he had placed at the bottom of the water, grabbed them with one hand, and twisted them.

Bai Shui Feijian was trapped within the array flags.

However, compared to before, the blood-stained white flying sword almost flew out several times... and the array flags could not hold it for long.

Just then, Ji Yuan reached out and pointed out several water droplet fingers, directly at the pale-faced Ghost Island Master.

The latter sneered, neither dodging nor avoiding, but simply raised his hand to summon the skull token to block in front of him.

Although the Water Drop Finger technique was powerful, it was not very effective against protective magic artifacts. Even though two beams of spiritual light managed to pass through the token, they were blocked by the robes on the Ghost Island Master's body.

As the island lord watched the water droplets explode into water droplets, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, he seemed to see a glimmer of red light in the bursting water.

Like the heart of a blooming flower...

He immediately sensed something was wrong, but it seemed a little too late.

Because that red light instantly pierced through the defenses of the talisman and the robe, arrived before his eyes, and finally... disappeared into his brow.

The island lord groaned, his body instinctively pulled backward by the red light.

The array flags that originally carried the flying sword lost control and immediately scattered. The White Water Flying Sword broke free again, grew longer in the wind, and immediately transformed into a three-foot-long green blade.

A flash of snow-white sword light, and the leader's head flew off.

Still not at ease, Ji Yuan, who was approaching in his white boat, immediately launched two fireballs, burning the head and corpse of the Ghost Island Master to ashes.

In the end, all that remained on his magic ship was his slightly tattered magic robe, black array flag, skull token, and a storage bag.

Ji Yuan quickly approached, and as he swept past, all the spoils of war vanished.

He also retrieved the White Water Flying Sword and the Deadly Needle.

He then found Wei Caishan's body at the place where they had first fought, but as she was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, she didn't have any storage bags.

The only magical artifact they possessed was that magic boat.

After Ji Yuan took the Dharma boat and the jade box hidden in her chest, a drop of corpse-dissolving water fell, destroying the evidence.

With his dwindling spiritual power, he propelled the white boat away from the area at high speed.

The battle had raged for a long time, and the commotion was so great that even four high-grade talismans had been used in succession, which had probably already attracted the attention of those who were interested.

At this point, it's natural to quickly avoid this place.

Less than half an incense stick's time after Ji Yuan left, two flying boats fell from mid-air.

"Who's fighting here? Why is there such a commotion?"

"Judging from their aura, they've probably fought in the later stages of the battle, and there's even a possibility of casualties... We're not far from Jing'an Ward, let's go ask that old man from the Ge family if he knows anything about it."

The two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, who had traveled a long way, quickly propelled their flying boats away.

A basic magic ship can be propelled on the water, an intermediate magic ship can enter the water, and an advanced one... can be called a flying boat.

Because it can not only be propelled on the water, but is also a flying magical artifact.

Not long after the two left, several more people rose from the water. As soon as they peeked out from the surface, they all fled after sensing the lingering aura of the place.

The place where the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators had just clashed was not a place where they, the mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, could get involved.

There aren't many fools who can cultivate to the middle stage in this Cloud and Rain Marsh.

Ji Yuan propelled the magic boat, aimlessly wandering around the Cloud Rain Marsh while holding spirit stones to restore his depleted spiritual power.

After wandering around for a day, making sure no one was following him and that he had fully recovered, he found a nearby reed bed, put away his white boat, and darted into it, taking out the Ghost Island Lord's storage bag.

Without the restriction, he allowed his spiritual power to invade it.

At first glance, he knew... he had struck gold on this trip!

A reader suggested adding a "Dual Cultivation Room" building later on. Could you guys help me think about what the best effect of this building would be?
