Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 80 A Fortuitous Encounter for Four [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Everyone else went out. Wu Wenbin went out with two others, obviously to discuss matters at the Wu family's residence.

As a result, shop number 18 became deserted.

Yao Jingfeng and the other two decided not to leave, or... they never intended to leave in the first place.

Once the outsiders left, Yao Jingfeng's smile became much more genuine, no longer the exaggerated smile he had shown earlier.

"The fourth brother might not be too clear about this, so let me explain it again."

"The four of us are ranked by age. I'm the oldest, thirty-eight. The second oldest is Du Wanyi, thirty-three. Luo Tian is the third oldest, thirty-one. And you, the fourth oldest?"

Ji Yuan was only 19 after the New Year, not yet 20, so he smiled and said, "I'm 23 this year. I've met my eldest brother, second sister, and third brother."

After saying that, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the three of them.

Luo Tian forced a smile. "I wasn't too comfortable when the eldest brother said he'd found me a fourth brother, but now it seems the eldest brother was right."

Du Wanyi rolled her eyes as she listened.

"It was clearly me who dragged my fourth brother into this."

Watching them bicker, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel... Although most relationships are based on mutual interests, their relationship did seem to be quite good.

Ji Yuan, being a newcomer, didn't feel comfortable fitting in, so he sat to the side and laughed along.

Du Wanyi seemed to notice his unease, so she came closer and took out a jade stone the size of a finger from her storage bag. It exuded a pure and ethereal aura that made people feel refreshed.

"Fourth brother, how did you find out about this Pure Spirit Jade? Not many people in Yunyu Marsh know about it."

Du Wanyi asked softly.

Yao Jingfeng, who was talking to Luo Tian, ​​also turned around, winked and said, "It seems that our fourth brother only looks honest, but he actually knows all the tricks of the trade."

Ji Yuan: "???"

Is there some other special feature to this Qingling Jade?

"I saw this in an ancient book. It said it could be used to study a type of talisman, so I thought I'd try it out."

Ji Yuan smiled sheepishly.

"really?"

Du Wanyi was skeptical.

"really."

Ji Yuan insisted.

Yao Jingfeng chuckled from the side, "This Qingling Jade is mostly used by people from the Huanxi Palace, because one of its major effects is to keep the mind clear during dual cultivation, so as not to be trapped by lust and to be able to operate the dual cultivation technique."

"It even has this effect?!"

Ji Yuan truly did not know this matter.

But after realizing what was happening, he looked at Du Wanyi with a look of astonishment... The Qingling Jade had this effect, and then this second sister also had it.

"What are you thinking!"

Du Wanyi pointed her slender index finger at Ji Yuan's shoulder and said forcefully, "This is something I stole from a cultivator I killed!"

"I knew it, it had to be like this."

Ji Yuan nodded vigorously, looking as if it were a matter of course, and said, "I need 6. Second Sister, do you have any?"

"I'll give you all eight of these."

As Du Wanyi spoke, a flash of white light appeared in her hand, and eight small and exquisite jade stones immediately appeared.

Ji Yuan looked at it and asked, "How many spirit stones is it per piece? I couldn't find the price at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion."

"Why do you need spirit stones? I stole them anyway, so they're useless to me. Fourth brother, you can have them all if you want."

Du Wanyi casually stuffed all eight Qingling Jade into Ji Yuan's hand.

"this……"

Before Ji Yuan could speak again, Yao Jingfeng, who was standing next to him, said with a smile, "Fourth Brother has just arrived, so we, as his older brothers and sisters, should prepare some gifts for him."

After he finished speaking, he tossed something over from a distance, which landed in Ji Yuan's hands.

The same applies to Luotian.

Yao Jingfeng tossed over a drawstring cloth bag.

Luo Tian threw over a small, black, round ball, which looked like a pebble.

Ji Yuan also has this thing, and its name is... Water Thunder!

Once this explodes, it's equivalent to a full-force attack from a peak Qi Refining cultivator. Luo Tian just casually threw it over, which startled Ji Yuan into breaking out in a cold sweat.

"It's just a little gadget, Fourth Brother can take it and play with it."

Third Brother Luo Tian even put on a little show.

As for the cloth bag that the eldest brother Yao Jingfeng threw over, Ji Yuan could feel the rich spiritual energy contained inside as he held it in his hand.

"Big brother doesn't have that many good things. 30 spirit stones, fourth brother can use them for cultivation."

"Alright, I already said it's a gift for you, just accept it."

Du Wanyi also urged.

Ji Yuan didn't lack these things, but since they were a gift from them, he accepted them and thanked them again.

If you receive a gift from someone, you naturally have to reciprocate.

Ke Jiyuan glanced at his storage bag.

Although there are many magical artifacts, they are all for personal use. The same goes for talismans; mid-grade talismans are not presentable, and high-grade talismans are scattered.

The same applies to elixirs.

Sending spirit stones would be too simple... mainly because Yao Jingfeng started this trend, it wouldn't be appropriate to send them back myself.

After much thought, Ji Yuan concluded that this blood essence was the most suitable, but unfortunately, all the ones he had stored up were sold yesterday.

So be it.

I'll make up for the gift next time we meet.

After exchanging gifts, the four of them sat down again.

This time, however, the three of them were much more serious. Du Wanyi even went to the door and pasted a few talismans on it.

Ji Yuan also put aside his distracting thoughts and silently waited for their next move.

"You must have seen what happened today, Fourth Brother. This mutual aid society is actually a broken shell. It's not just the lower level that's like this; the upper level is the same."

It was still the eldest brother, Yao Jingfeng, who spoke first: "The only purpose of the mutual aid association is to exchange basic information or make some transactions. What can really help our cultivation is actually small circles like ours."

As he spoke, he even drew a circle between the four of them.

"Well, it's hard to say before, but in the current Yun Yuze circle, our group of four is probably the strongest."

Du Wanyi added.

"But Yun Yuze is not our goal, nor is joining the Water Dragon Sect."

Yao Jingfeng said with a smile.

Admittedly, joining the Water Dragon Sect might seem incredibly difficult to outsiders, but to the four of them, it was no problem at all.

Take Luo Tian for example, he's already eligible to join the Water Dragon Sect this year.

But for some reason, he gave up.

"We have only one goal, and that is... Foundation Establishment!"

Upon hearing Yao Jingfeng's words, both Luo Tian and Du Wanyi's eyes lit up.

Those who haven't reached the late stage of Qi Refining are all thinking about how to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, but once they reach the late stage of Qi Refining, they should be thinking about how to establish their foundation.

"Therefore, the sole purpose for the four of us to become Foundation Establishment cultivators is for the sake of all four of us to achieve Foundation Establishment!"

"good!"

Luo Tian responded.

Ji Yuan nodded very seriously.

"I'm not bragging," Yao Jingfeng chuckled, "Right now, the four of us are the most likely to reach Foundation Establishment in this Cloud Rain Marsh."

"Because we each have our own opportunities, that is, we each have our own strengths."

As Yao Jingfeng spoke, his gaze fell on Ji Yuan. He put away his smile and said in a serious voice, "Fourth brother, you may not be clear about this since you just arrived, so we will explain it to you again."

"Of course, if you feel this matter is too private to discuss, you can choose to withdraw now. That's fine too; consider it a good deed."

Since we're going to become classmates and help each other, we definitely need to offer something of value in exchange.

Otherwise, why would anyone even look at you?

Ji Yuan had naturally anticipated this, so he had already come up with his own ideas.

Seeing that it was his turn to speak, the other two looked over as well, and he smiled and said, "Since I am willing to stay here, I naturally trust the three of you."

As they spoke, Ji Yuan took out half an ounce of blood essence from his storage bag.

"My fourth brother doesn't have any particular skills, but he has a method for cultivating blood essence, which allows him to cultivate half an ounce of blood essence every three days."

"Half an ounce of blood semen in just three days?"

Yao Jingfeng's eyes lit up. "No wonder you have such strength, Fourth Brother. Your methods are truly impressive."

"Good, Fourth Brother is an open-minded person!"

Luo Tian first praised it, and then another water mine appeared in his hand. He smiled and said, "The opportunity I obtained back then was the method of making this water mine. Most of the water mines circulating in Yunyuze now are made by me. So, Fourth Brother, if you need this thing in the future, just tell me."

Being able to refine water mines... no wonder Luo Tian has such strength.

Du Wanyi, sitting with her legs bent in the chair, smiled and said, "I can find out where there are treasures within a mile radius. If Fourth Brother wants to go treasure hunting next time, just come find me."

Ok?

If we're talking about Luo Tian's opportunities, Ji Yuan doesn't think much of it yet.

But Du Wanyi's unexpected opportunity surprised him.

A humanoid treasure-hunting mouse?

Isn't this even better than Qiu Qianhai's finger bone?

However, Du Wanyi did not elaborate on how this treasure was specifically defined.

Perhaps sensing Ji Yuan's surprise, Yao Jingfeng offered an explanation, "It can only be used once a day, so Fourth Brother, don't get your hopes up too high."

"We usually only send our second sister to confirm the location after we've determined which area has good stuff."

It's already quite powerful that it can only be explored once a day.

If this were used for treasure hunting in secret realms, wouldn't it be a sure thing every time?

From this perspective, Du Wanyi must have mastered some kind of magic weapon.

Ji Yuan's gaze fell on Yao Jingfeng, who was speaking.

The three of them have already shared their strengths, and now only Yao Jingfeng, the eldest brother, is missing.

"As for me, my opportunity is rather unremarkable."

Yao Jingfeng looked rather embarrassed as he spoke.

Du Wanyi and Luo Tian, ​​who were standing to the side, smiled.

Just as Ji Yuan was wondering, he suddenly felt a wisp of spiritual energy flash through the room, as if someone had activated some kind of magic, but it also felt like something had flown past.

Ji Yuan looked around.

Du Wanyi and Luo Tian were already laughing.

"Fourth brother, haven't you noticed that something's missing from you?" the eldest brother, Yao Jingfeng, said with a smile.

Ji Yuan thought to himself, "This is bad," and hurriedly reached for his waist.

Sure enough, the spot where the storage bag used to be hung was now empty.

Yao Jingfeng weighed the storage bag in his hand, then tossed it back to Ji Yuan, saying apologetically, "Sorry for the inconvenience."

"As you can see, Fourth Brother, I have mastered a minor spell that allows me to steal other people's things, but I can only steal things that are out on their person. If they are in their storage bag, I can't take them."

"And it's also extremely easy to spot, so it can only be used when there are many people around."

Ji Yuan put the storage bag back without panicking.

Because in this storage bag... only a few spirit stones were put in, and the rest were some uneaten spirit pig meat, or miscellaneous items such as the previous green and yellow chicken spirit eggs.

He kept the actual storage bag containing spirit stones and magical artifacts on his chest, so he could sense it anytime, anywhere.

"It's a pity that my elder brother is too morally upright and rarely uses this magic."

Du Wanyi said with a grin.

"Actually, it's not so bad to deal with some cultivators who have committed robbery or demonic treachery," Luo Tian said.

Ji Yuan thought about it and agreed.

"Third Brother is right. As long as Eldest Brother can stick to his principles, that's fine."

"Of course," Yao Jingfeng said with a smile. "So if Fourth Brother ever feels there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"We used to work together as a group of three. I was in charge of treasure hunting, my third brother was in charge of the attack, and my eldest brother did odd jobs, but he often got injured. Now that my fourth brother has joined us, things are much better, especially since he is good at cultivating blood essence."

"Our team will be much safer from now on."

Du Wanyi, sitting cross-legged in the chair, said with a smile.

"Indeed, I'm always the one who gets hurt in the past. I'll have to trouble my fourth brother to take good care of me from now on." Even when Luo Tian was joking, he still had a serious expression.

Yao Jingfeng chuckled for a while before saying, "Let's talk about Foundation Establishment next."
