Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 79 The Six Great Immortal Sects of Shangdong [Seeking First Subscription]

It really wasn't Ji Yuan who was deliberately late.

He set off early, but on his way to Zengtou City in his flying boat, he happened to encounter a group of disciples from the Water Dragon Sect returning to their sect.

Out of respect for the disciples of the sect, Ji Yuan stopped and let them pass first.

Unexpectedly, Old Master Xu was among those people.

Upon seeing Ji Yuan, he deliberately stopped and went up to him, and had a long talk with him.

He even went so far as to teach Ji Yuan a few moves of the "Mirror Overlap" technique, despite being urged by his fellow disciples.

Since the other party was so hospitable, Ji Yuan naturally couldn't leave. So he lingered there for quite a while, and only after Old Master Xu left did he hurry over to shop number 18.

Now that everyone had arrived, all eyes were on him.

Despite the pressure, he bowed to everyone in the room and said, "I am Ji Yuan from Zengtou City. Greetings, fellow Daoists."

"Ji Yuan?!"

Wu Yan was already surprised enough when he saw the person who came, but now, upon sensing Ji Yuan's cultivation level... he quickly stepped forward and arrived at the door.

"You've reached the late stage of Qi Refining too?!"

Wu Yan was still somewhat incredulous.

But no matter how much he disbelieved it, the facts were right in front of him.

Although Wu Wenbin stood still, his astonishment was evident in his eyes.

"Just lucky, just lucky."

Ji Yuan remains the same four characters.

Du Kang and Hu Fang, who were already sitting not far from the door, hurriedly came forward, both of them with a look of surprise in their eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you've truly reached the late stage of Qi Refining!"

Hu Fang was surprised, and Du Kang, who was from Zengtou City, immediately said, "I told you long ago that Brother Ji wouldn't be long, but you didn't believe me."

Ji Yuan looked at the two fellow Daoists he had met once before and greeted them with a cupped hand.

"This is the fourth brother."

Du Wanyi's cheerful voice came from behind, and Ji Yuan hurriedly turned around to look.

Behind Yao Jingfeng and her stood a black-robed cultivator with a cold and stern face, giving off an air of unapproachability.

"That's Luo Tian."

Yao Jingfeng introduced it to Ji Yuan with a smile.

"Greetings, Brother Luo."

Ji Yuan then gave him a slight bow.

Luo Tian's lips twitched slightly, which could be considered a smile. "Just call me Third Brother."

Meanwhile, Wu Yan had returned to Wu Wenbin's side.

"father."

Wu Yan called out softly.

Wu Wenbin first turned to look at Qin Long and He Laosan, who hadn't gotten up yet. After noticing that their faces looked rather grim, he sighed and shook his head.

But it was only for a fleeting moment; he quickly stepped forward with a smile, laughing and saying:

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ji! Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Ji!"

"I recognized your exceptional talent long ago, and seeing you today confirms it. If Senior Brother Hong of the Water Dragon Sect knew this, he would be overjoyed."

"Oh? Senior Brother Hong?"

The people from Zengtou City knew about this, but those from other towns, like Yao Jingfeng, did not.

So Wu Wenbin took the initiative to introduce Ji Yuan, which once again made Ji Yuan famous.

This drew continuous congratulations from the crowd.

Ji Yuan just watched, watching Wu Wenbin... seemingly only thinking of his own good, constantly trying to show off, while leaving his son aside.

If I hadn't already known what kind of person he was, I probably would have been deeply moved.

After hearing this, Luo Tian and the other two looked at Ji Yuan with a different gaze.

In short, it means that Ji Yuan has been overrated even more.

Then three more cultivators from the outer market arrived, all of whom were at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

One of them was Xiao Hong, the old woman who had congratulated Ji Yuan in Jingdefang, but she didn't seem to recognize Ji Yuan at this moment.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, and seeing that no one else was coming, Yao Jingfeng stepped forward and announced loudly:

"We have invited you all here today because our Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association has gained two more disciples, which is a great joy."

"Zengtou City's Wu Yan, Zengtou City's Ji Yuan!"

"..."

After a brief exchange, just when Ji Yuan thought there was still some procedure to follow, Yao Jingfeng sat back down, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.

Immediately afterward, Du Kang spoke up, saying, "These past few days, I've noticed frequent troop movements from the Water Dragon Sect. Has something major happened at the sect?"

"In the past two days, I have also seen many Water Dragon Sect disciples returning to their sect in Yunyu Marsh."

Luo Tian said in a deep voice.

It seems that he wasn't the only one who noticed this... This was Ji Yuan's first time attending such a gathering, so he didn't rush to speak, but instead decided to see what was going on first.

Xiao Hong, an old woman from Jingdefang, also spoke up, "Even Qi and Blood Pills have started to increase in price, so something really big must have happened."

Qin Long, from the Qin family, then looked at Yao Jingfeng and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Brother Yao, has any news come from the meeting?"

The Water Dragon Sect Mutual Aid Association is divided into two parts: the upper and lower parts. The upper part is naturally composed of disciples who have already joined the Water Dragon Sect, while the lower part is composed of disciples who have not yet joined the Water Dragon Sect.

"have."

As soon as Yao Jingfeng finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"The news from the upper meeting says that there was a minor conflict between the Water Dragon Sect and the Joyful Palace."

"They don't know the specifics yet, but they estimate it's something serious."

"It must be quite large; they even stockpiled Qi and Blood Pills in advance."

"That's what Xiao Hong said in a sinister tone."

"I reckon other talismans and pills will also go up in price soon, so you might as well stock up on some in advance and make a small profit later."

Wu Wenbin smiled, his eyes narrowing.

Zhu Shen then looked at Luo Tian, ​​who was sitting next to Yao Jingfeng, and said, "Brother Luo, I know a place where there is a late-stage Tier 1 demon beast. Would you be interested?"

"Heh, just a late-stage Tier 1 fighter. Killing him would mean splitting the spoils with you. I'm too lazy to bother."

Luo Tianhun said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan glanced at Luo Tian in surprise... This fellow Daoist's strength is currently unknown, but his tone is quite arrogant. He claims that even a late-stage first-order demon beast would only be able to flee for its life if encountered by someone in the late-stage Qi Refining realm.

But he didn't care at all?

Ji Yuan then observed the reactions of the others and found that they all seemed to take it all for granted.

This guy is that strong?

After that, the group of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators started talking amongst themselves, each looking for the people they needed, discussing where to make money together, or exchanging cultivation experiences.

Even an old scoundrel like Wu Wenbin was exchanging talisman-drawing experiences with Zhu Shen, who was also at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Others are engaged in trading.

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel.

Among his level 1 buildings, forget about talisman rooms and enlightenment rooms; they can't be upgraded to level 2 until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this [cave dwelling] is acceptable.

[Upgrade Requirements: 50 Low-grade Spirit Stones, 6 Pure Spirit Jade, 10 Jin of River-Suppressing Sand]

As for spirit stones, Ji Yuan has more than enough.

He also collected all the sand from the Zhenhe River at Qingbo Pond. It wasn't expensive; only one spirit stone per pound.

But even after asking around at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he couldn't find this Qingling Jade.

Seeing that everyone was trading, Ji Yuan thought for a moment and then asked:

"Does any of you fellow cultivators possess a Pure Spirit Jade?"

His voice was quite loud, which attracted everyone's attention.

But they all shook their heads, indicating no.

Just when Ji Yuan thought he had no other choice, he heard Du Wanyi's soft laughter from the side.

"Fourth brother, I already have this."

Ji Yuan quickly turned his head to look.

Du Wanyi blinked and said, "I'll give it to you after this is over."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Ji Yuan arrived the latest, so he was the fourth oldest, but he didn't know how the other three were ranked.

Sitting between the two, Yao Jingfeng explained with a smile, "I'm the eldest, Du Wanyi is the second eldest, Luo Tian is the third eldest, and you're the youngest, so you're the fourth eldest."

"Thank you, Second Sister."

Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

They then talked for about half an hour, with Ji Yuan barely speaking and mostly just listening to them.

In that short half hour, he also learned many things he didn't know before.

For a moment, he felt as if he had finally come into contact with the world of cultivation.

Such as the six major immortal sects of Shangdong, namely Sword Ruins, Spirit Control Sect, Joyful Palace, Corpse Driving Mountain, Medicine King Valley and Water Dragon Sect.

The reason it is called Shangdong is because the highest mountain range on the Canglu Continent is called Shangshan, which divides the Canglu Continent into two parts, east and west.

The Water Dragon Sect and the other five major immortal sects are located on the east side of this Shang Mountain.

That's why they're called the Six Great Immortal Sects of Shangdong.

Or perhaps it's said that a third-tier demon beast landed on the Falling Star River, which is connected to Yunyuze, and was ultimately cut off from its demonic path by a Golden Core cultivator from the Water Dragon Sect.

After their conversation, they said their goodbyes and left in twos and threes.

Ji Yuan watched their retreating figures with considerable curiosity, because apart from the initial claim that the trip was somewhat meaningful, there wasn't much important information to be found later.

Yao Jingfeng seemed to see his confusion, so he smiled and explained, "The conference is over, and now they need to go to their respective smaller meetings."

Luo Tian turned around and said expressionlessly:

"Come on, let's have our little meeting now."
