Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 75 Trading Slingshots for Cannons [Seeking First Subscription]

"The superior flying boat, the Thunder Falcon Boat, is refined using the Three Fires Refining Method and infused with Thunder Falcon feathers. Its core is the essence of a Thunder Falcon."

"As for the effect, it's not that complicated, it can be summed up in one word."

"quick!"

"Among high-grade flying boats, none can outrun the Thunder Falcon Boat. Moreover, once the Thunder Falcon essence within is activated... even top-tier flying magical artifacts can be challenged by the Thunder Falcon Boat."

When Lao Huang was introducing the Thunder Falcon Boat, he crossed his arms and looked extremely smug.

Xu Fugui looked him up and down and asked, "Was this made by Uncle Lei?"

Old Huang chuckled and said, "Besides my master, who else could forge such a magical artifact?"

Judging from this, Uncle Lei, whom Old Master Xu mentioned, must be a master weapon refiner... at least a second-tier weapon refiner, Ji Yuan thought to himself.

He had used up more than 400 spirit stones to break through, and now he had less than 100 left.

But it doesn't matter, the Black Wind Boat can also offset some spirit stones.

So buying just this Thunder Falcon Boat would definitely be enough.

"This Thunder Falcon!"

"How many spirit stones? I'll take it!"

Old Huang gave a thumbs up, "Good eye! But the price... it's not cheap, it has to be this much."

He didn't retract his thumb.

"100 low-grade spirit stones."

The price is indeed very high, basically reaching the limit for a high-grade magic weapon... any more expensive and you could buy a top-grade magic weapon.

"Hey kid, is this enough? If not, I can lend you some."

Xu Fugui asked.

"That's enough." Ji Yuan smiled and took out his Black Wind Boat, then wiped away the mark on it. "Fellow Daoist, please take a look and see how many spirit stones this magic boat is worth."

Old Huang took the materials and examined them briefly before saying disdainfully, "If this material were given to my master, he could forge a high-grade flying boat with his eyes closed. In the end, it was forged into a mid-grade magic ship. The technique is too crude."

"The materials are good. Here's what we'll do: I'll charge you 45 spirit stones, and you can pay the remaining 55 spirit stones."

"Okay."

With 55 spirit stones, he had a good chance of getting the ship. After paying, the Thunder Falcon Boat was in his hands. He refined it a little and his eyes lit up.

But it was only a fleeting moment of inspiration; after refining it, he put it away.

"What, you can actually resist going out and see what happens?" Old Huang asked in surprise.

"I also need a high-quality protective magic artifact. Do you have any recommendations?"

Ji Yuan had thought about it all the way, and finally decided to replace his many mid-grade protective magic items with a high-grade protective magic item.

When it comes to protective amulets, quality is more important than quantity.

"have."

"Robes, shields, or protective shields? These are the standard options."

Robes are useful, but their defensive capabilities are ultimately lacking. Magic shields can provide comprehensive protection, but their drawback is high energy consumption. Shields, on the other hand, can both withstand attacks and deal damage.

Ji Yuan has always used shield-type protective magical artifacts.

"You're probably a guy who doesn't care about money, so I won't bring out the cheap stuff; I'll just give you the best."

As he spoke, Old Huang threw a completely black shield, which exuded a strong demonic aura, onto the ground with a loud "bang".

Ji Yuan quickly looked down and saw that the surface of the shield was covered with dense fish scales.

Even just sitting here, you can smell a strong fishy odor.

"The Hundred Fish Shield is a shield made from the scales of hundreds of first-grade high-quality spirit fish. Its defensive power goes without saying, and it is one of the best among high-quality protective magic weapons."

"And when it really comes to a life-or-death moment, all these fish scales can be unleashed and turned into a killing move."

"But after this move, the shield will be basically useless, so don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

Ji Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened, for this Hundred Fish Shield was far superior to the ones he currently possessed.

"How many spirit stones?"

"One price, 90 pieces." After saying that, Old Huang crossed his arms, as if to see if Ji Yuan could actually produce them.

Xu Fugui didn't speak this time either.

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, "Fellow Daoist, how many spirit stones do you think this is worth?"

As Ji Yuan spoke, he took out the iron shield and rattan shield that he had obtained from the Liu brothers.

Both of these are mid-grade protective magic items.

After taking it and examining it briefly, Old Huang said, "It's a little short."

Ji Yuan then took out the Dragon Armor Shield, which had been with him the longest.

This old fellow is quite worn out all over.

Old Huang didn't even look at it this time, just glanced at it, and said, "It's still a bit short."

Ji Yuan also had a mysterious light shield on his body, which was also a mid-grade magic artifact.

But he planned to keep this for himself, so when Old Huang said it wasn't enough, he asked, "How much more do you need?"

Those two shields weren't bad either, and they weren't worn much; they were worth at least 70 spirit stones.

Although the Dragon Armor Shield is a low-grade magic weapon and is quite worn, it is still considered a low-grade magic weapon.

"Let's add another 7 spirit stones."

"it is good."

There are still 7 spirit stones available.

After paying the spirit stones, the Hundred Fish Shield fell into his hands.

Before he could speak, Old Huang asked, "Are you still missing a high-grade offensive magic weapon?"

"this……"

Ji Yuan smiled sheepishly, "Fellow Daoist overestimates me. I don't have that many spirit stones."

Old Huang and Xu Fugui both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It's common for people to upgrade to a high-grade flying boat after breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining, and Ji Yuan's own mid-grade magic boat wasn't bad either, so buying this Thunder Falcon Boat didn't cost him many spirit stones.

Ji Yuan exhausted all his resources to acquire the remaining Hundred Fish Shields, even exchanging his last low-grade magic weapon for them.

This also reflects the fact that he had reached a dead end.

If he were to buy a high-grade flying sword in front of them... that would definitely be considered flaunting his wealth.

Ji Yuan wouldn't be that stupid.

Old Huang chuckled, "Among the late-stage cultivators I've seen, it's rare to find someone who can change into two high-grade magic weapons right after breaking through."

"I'm so lucky, it's all thanks to Grandpa Xu taking care of me."

Ji Yuan inadvertently flattered Xu Fugui again, making the old man grin from ear to ear.

"In that case, go back and cultivate diligently. If you don't understand something, come and ask me again."

"Okay."

Ji Yuan, having exchanged two superior-grade magical artifacts, then took his leave.

After he left, Old Huang looked at Xu Fugui, who was leaning against the counter, and asked, "Your old man is quite lucky to have met such a talented young man."

"At his age, he still has such skills... The magical artifacts he took out are all quite good; he must be a master of magical combat."

As he spoke, Old Huang looked up and couldn't help but sigh, "He might actually have the potential to establish his foundation with a pseudo-spiritual root."

Pseudo-spiritual root foundation building...

Such people do exist in the Water Dragon Sect, but without exception, cultivators who can establish their foundation with pseudo-spiritual roots are all extremely strong within their respective realms.

"Perhaps, but if possible, that would be best."

Xu Fugui also let out a long sigh.

After leaving Zengtou City, Ji Yuan arrived at a deserted spot on the shore and summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat.

The flying boat hovered in the air, and Ji Yuan leaped up and landed inside the Thunder Falcon Boat. Immediately afterward, with a thought, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and rose into the sky.

Sensing this extreme speed, Ji Yuan was so excited that he was speechless for a moment.

Flying.

longevity.

He has finally realized one of the two great dreams of cultivators.

Even so, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he activated the spirit of the Thunder Falcon within the flying boat.

"Whoosh—"

A soft whooshing sound rang out, and a purple light streaked across the sky, like a bolt of lightning.

Ji Yuan wasn't flying aimlessly. Since it wasn't a good time to make a move in Zengtou City, he decided to go to another market to get a few pounds of cold iron sand and exchange it for the superior flying sword.
