Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 91 Yin Ghost Breakthrough [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Ji Yuan naturally didn't have any women's clothes; he didn't have Wu Laochuan's strange hobby of collecting women's clothing.

The black robe the female corpse was originally wearing was too dirty, so in the end Ji Yuan had no choice but to let her wear one of his own clothes to cover her proud body.

Once the female corpse was gone, Ji Yuan collapsed from exhaustion.

It continued to output for twelve two-hour periods, or twenty-four hours.

Even someone with an iron body couldn't withstand that.

Fortunately, all the effort was worthwhile.

He didn't even need to speak; he only needed to think about it, and the female corpse would do exactly as he was told... Calling her "female corpse" always felt a bit strange; he should at least give her a name.

Ji Yuan didn't have any particular ideas, but after a moment's thought, he remembered a name he had seen in a book before.

Tu Yue.

If that's the case, then let's call her Tu Yue.

So Ji Yuan mentally reminded her again, "After feeding the pigs, remember to tidy up the chicken coop in the backyard as well."

The red-crested chickens have been dealt with, but the Lushu chickens haven't arrived yet, so naturally we should take this opportunity to clean the chicken coop.

"Oh right, remember to feed the fish. There are some spirit fragments in the corner. Crush them up, cut some grass, mix them in, and feed them. Don't feed them too many, just two spirit fragments will do. Spirit fish are easy to raise. After you're done, tidy up the house."

After giving the instructions, Ji Yuan took out half an ounce of blood essence and ate it.

Although there are no serious injuries, my tendons and veins are very painful, so it would be good to eat some blood essence to replenish them.

He then drifted off to sleep.

……

at the same time.

House No. 13, Jia, Huaiyinfang.

Du Wanyi, who had recovered from her injuries by taking Qi and Blood Pills, came here, but she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Yao Jingfeng.

In just a few days, Yao Jingfeng looked as if he had aged thirty or forty years.

He was only in his early thirties, in the prime of his life, but now his temples are gray and his lips are almost bloodless.

Fortunately, he is now able to get up and move around freely.

"Big brother..."

Looking at him like this, Du Wanyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

It gives me a feeling that... life is tough.

"I'm fine, just a little injured."

Yao Jingfeng had lost his previous vigor, and now his speech sounded somber and lifeless.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Du Wanyi then sat down to the side.

Yao Jingfeng poured her a cup of tea and took the opportunity to ask, "Where's Lao Si? Is he alright? I was too badly injured at the time and didn't have a chance to ask about his condition."

"He's alright."

After Du Wanyi finished speaking, the two fell into a long silence again.

After a long pause, Yao Jingfeng sighed, "I never imagined that among the four of us, the strongest would be the youngest, the fourth one."

"He's even stronger than Luo...Luo Tian?"

Du Wanyi asked in surprise.

During the previous battles, she was too busy taking care of herself to pay attention to others. Although she managed to escape from Luo Tian's explosion, she also lost consciousness.

"powerful!"

Yao Jingfeng said confidently, "When he killed that Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator, he didn't use any formations, nor did he use his flying boat... You didn't see it at first."

"What happened to his airship?"

Du Wanyi had no idea that the speed was unremarkable, both when setting off and on the way back.

"He was incredibly fast. When he first saved me, that demonic cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining chased after me in his flying boat, but he was actually outpaced by the fourth brother. That speed..."

Yao Jingfeng thought for a moment before saying, "I estimate that many top-grade magic weapons don't even have this speed."

"What?"

Du Wanyi was increasingly surprised.

"The fourth brother has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, there's no doubt about that. Given time, he'll probably be able to rival someone at the peak of Qi Refining. He... is really strong."

Yao Jingfeng thought for a while and could only come up with this word to describe it.

"indeed."

Du Wanyi thought of the time she saw Ji Yuan fight with him.

"Remember to keep this a secret from me today. We must not tell anyone about Lao Si's matter."

"That's natural. The fourth brother is cautious; we... are not as cautious as him."

Du Wanyi had to admit this as well.

"So...what are your plans for the future?"

"The future? There are only two years until the next selection. I plan to stay home and cultivate for two years, not go anywhere. I'll wait until I join the Water Dragon Sect before making any decisions. What about you, brother?"

Yao Jingfeng sighed, "Where else can I go with this body? This is all I can do."

Both of them felt a little sad when they talked about it.

Just a few days ago, the four of them were full of vigor and high spirits, but now, only a few days later, they're all going to hide away like cowards.

"Then I'll go back and tell my fourth brother to be careful as well."

Du Wanyi stood up as she spoke.

"it is good."

Yao Jingfeng got up to see her off, and after waiting for Du Wanyi to reach the door, he turned around and went back.

Just then, as if remembering something, Du Wanyi suddenly turned her head and asked, "Have you sent the spirit stones allocated to Luo Tian? If not, I'll take them with me."

Yao Jingfeng paused slightly, but quickly recovered.

"It's been sent. I sent it yesterday."

"That's fine then."

After Du Wanyi left, the flying boat took off, but she didn't rush to Zengtou City.

She sat on the flying boat, her face somewhat gloomy.

Of the four, she and Yao Jingfeng had known each other the longest, had the best relationship, and understood each other the most.

She knew what kind of person Yao Jingfeng was.

So she asked that question on purpose. She noticed Yao Jingfeng's unusual reaction, no matter how subtle, but she just didn't say it.

But she still couldn't quite believe the answer.

"well--"

After sitting for a long time, Du Wanyi finally went to Luo Tian's home and found his mother.

She didn't reveal Luo Tian's death, but instead asked indirectly if Yao Jingfeng had come to see her.

No.

……

Ji Yuan woke up groggily again.

He didn't know how long he had slept, only that when he woke up, it was pitch black outside the window, and Tu Yue was squatting beside him, watching him without moving.

Like a well-behaved kitten, or like a... puppet.

Ji Yuan, who had just woken up, was startled.

After he calmed down for a while and cleared his mind a bit, he finally remembered what his current situation was.

Those who possess corpse puppets no longer need to go through all that trouble themselves.

"How much time has passed...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yuan realized he was dumbfounded for talking to a corpse puppet.

How could a completely unconscious corpse know how much time had passed?

But Ji Yuan wasn't in a hurry, so it didn't matter how much time passed. After getting up, he rested for a while and cast several spells on himself before he regained consciousness.

"call--"

Ji Yuan first sensed the condition inside his body. There were no injuries, and his meridians were indeed much stronger.

The most obvious effect is that the speed of spiritual energy circulation is faster, so the spells can be cast faster in the next battle.

The next morning, Ji Yuan, who got up early, went out to ask and learned from Lin Hu that three days had passed.

It's alright, it won't be long.

Lin Hu is now going out on the ship again. There's no other way; the burden of supporting his family of three now falls on his shoulders.

Fortunately, Wu Qin's delivery went smoothly, and with the extra spirit pig meat that Ji Yuan had given her... Lin Hu had never eaten it before, so he gave it all to Wu Qin.

In this way, her body was fully recovered.

If she didn't have to stay home to take care of her daughter, she would have liked to go on the boat with Lin Hu.

Then Ji Yuan was preparing to go to Zengtou City, but before he could even leave, Du Wanyi arrived.

She didn't go inside; the two exchanged a few words in mid-air.

Du Wanyi said that for the next two years, she and Yao Jingfeng would stay at home and cultivate themselves. Ji Yuan nodded in agreement, saying that he also had the same plan.

That's good, everyone can be more at ease, and it's enough to exchange news with each other occasionally.

After seeing Du Wanyi off, Ji Yuan left Tu Yue at home to do chores like feeding fish and pigs, while he went to Zengtou City alone.

He first bought Tu Yue several sets of women's clothing, and then went to the chicken cultivator's shop and bought two Lushu chickens from him.

It's not that I don't want to buy more, it's just that the Chicken Cultivator's abilities are limited, and he can only get these two.

Ji Yuan was too lazy to go to other markets to buy things, so he went home on his own.

After arriving home, he didn't even bother searching for other Foundation Establishment herbs, spending his days cultivating at home.

With Tu Yue's help, he had even more time to cultivate.

Half a month later, the two Yin Ghosts finally finished refining the Yin Nourishing Pill and broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining. They began to nourish the Yin Ghost Flag, and Ji Yuan's strength also increased once again.

However, a month later, it was Chinese New Year again.

Compared to last year, Ji Yuan didn't feel much this year. Even though the market was still bustling, Ji Yuan sat alone at the door, watching fireworks explode in the clouds in the distance, while laughter echoed from the neighbors on both sides.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, Ji Yuan did not visit any relatives or friends.

Old Master Xu hasn't come back since he returned to the Water Dragon Sect last time.

Lu Wan's family... is now down to just her.

Luo Tong's New Year's greetings were sent a few years ago.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, with the help of the Enlightenment Chamber, Ji Yuan successfully refined his first mid-grade pill, the Spirit Restoration Pill, and advanced to become a first-level mid-grade alchemist.

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

is the day.

Ji Yuan picked the first new peach of the year, washed it, and tasted it. Perhaps because he had buried many spirit eggshells under this peach tree, the peach was not sour this year.

Moreover, the trees have produced more fruit; with the two peach trees combined, there are probably close to a hundred more.

Just as Ji Yuan was about to pick some to share with Wen Lin's family and Lin Hu's family, he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.

Someone has arrived; they're strangers.

His aura wasn't strong; he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Finally, the person stopped at his doorstep, apparently looking for him. Ji Yuan first told Tu Yue to hide, then went forward and opened the door.

The thin man outside the door had just raised his right hand when he saw the door open by itself, and he was startled.

He was about to glare at her, but after sensing Ji Yuan's presence, his glare turned into a fawning smile.

"Greetings, senior."

Looking at the thin man with the fawning smile in front of him, Ji Yuan frowned and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The thin man said "Oh," and quickly took out a seashell from a hidden compartment in his chest pocket. He then smiled and said, "Someone asked me to give this to you, senior."
