Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 93 The Water Dragon Sect Selection Arrives Ahead of Schedule [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Ji Yuan stood by the window, holding the letter in his hand, speechless for a long time.

It's highly likely that Qiu Qianhai has disappeared.

Just as he himself said, Ji Yuan didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but it was certain that he had disappeared.

The Qin family?

The Qin family is indeed the most likely candidate. Considering the late Blind Qin who passed away peacefully... could it be that Blind Qin personally went to kill Qiu Qianhai and then perished together?

It's unlikely. If Qiu Qianhai had the strength to perish together with someone at the peak of Qi Refining, he wouldn't have needed to save him in the first place.

It's highly likely that Old Blind Qin is dead, but whether it's related to Qiu Qianhai's disappearance, Ji Yuan doesn't know.

But without Old Blind Qin... destroying the Qin family would be easy.

Currently, the Qin family only has Qin Long and He Laosan, both at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Ji Yuan is fully confident that he can take them down.

But to be on the safe side, it's best to wait until you reach the ninth level of Qi Refining or the peak of Qi Refining before making a decision.

After all, as Qiu Qianhai said, if all else fails, they can simply outlast them.

If it was another enemy, or even a monster that killed him... Ji Yuan doesn't know. Anyway, regardless of whether it was the Qin family or not, Qiu Qianhai will have to settle this score with the Qin family.

Even if it weren't for Qiu Qianhai, but for the original owner's deceased parents, they still had to settle accounts with the Qin family.

Therefore, in Ji Yuan's mind, the Qin family was basically doomed.

He glanced down at the letter in his hand, then quickly put it back into his storage bag, leaving only the rough, hand-drawn map in his hand.

A second-tier movement technique for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators... that's definitely a good thing.

It could even be described as the best of the best.

If this spell were an offensive or defensive technique, Ji Yuan might not care much about it, but movement techniques are something he rarely takes seriously.

If you can learn this, it will be a life-saving measure no matter what.

Whether it's fighting or escaping, they are both highly skilled.

In the previous battle with the demonic cultivator, Ji Yuan had already experienced the advantages of the Thunder Falcon Boat... In combat, you can be weak in attack or defense, but you must be fast.

When the time comes, fight if you can, run if you can't, and come back to fight when you can again.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Ji Yuan wouldn't be so foolish as to fight to the death.

When it's time to run away, you still have to run.

Since that's the case... why don't we go and take a look at the island that Qiu Qianhai described?

The idea only existed in Ji Yuan's mind for a moment before he immediately dismissed it. In the depths of Yunyu Marsh, a place where second-tier demonic beasts roam, not to mention on the island where the opportunity was located, there was definitely a second-tier demonic beast.

Second-tier demonic beasts, their strength is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if it wasn't a flying monster, Ji Yuan wouldn't dare to gamble... what if it was?

I'm only at the eighth level of Qi Refining now, there's no need to take this risk. Even if I did manage to obtain this spell, I wouldn't be able to learn it right now.

I barely got started with the third level of "Water Drop Finger" - "Accumulated Explosion".

He hasn't even entered the third level of the Canglang Sword Manual, "Nine Layers of Waves."

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

As for why I haven't gone for so long, I wonder if someone else has taken the opportunity... If someone else has taken it, then so be it. It just means that I wasn't meant to have this opportunity.

As long as I'm still alive, what opportunities are there to miss?

After putting away the letters and maps, Ji Yuan sat by the window for a long time.

At present, neither seeking revenge against the Qin family nor pursuing any opportunities is a safe course of action. The safest course of action right now is to improve one's cultivation level as soon as possible.

The days passed by.

The struggle between the Water Dragon Sect and the Joyful Palace continues, and it is said that there have been deaths and injuries among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

However, the battleground was too far from Zengtou City. After all, Zengtou City was already close to the Water Dragon Sect, or even right next to it.

Once you cross the Busy Cloud Rain Marsh, you'll reach the Water Dragon Sect located beside the Falling Star River.

So, although he had been playing continuously, Ji Yuan didn't really feel much of a difference.

The only things that made him feel the change were the ever-increasing prices of blood essence and various talismans and pills, so he didn't sit idle. With the help of the building's effects, he had already saved up eleven spirit stones.

Mid-grade spirit stones!

This was something he wouldn't have dared to even think about before.

Of course, in order to sell enough of these eleven mid-grade spirit stones, he basically traveled all over Yunyuze.

Despite his high level of cultivation, he didn't dare to keep going to the Baibaolou in Zengtou City.

Otherwise, what if the other party sees that I have such a high success rate in drawing talismans and refining pills, and forcibly recruits me into the Water Dragon Sect?

This is going to get you arrested... oh no, I mean, you'll get imprisoned.

What happens depends entirely on the attitude of the Water Dragon Sect.

Ji Yuan still didn't sell the remaining 30 jin of cold iron sand, because the price... was still rising.

Previously, one pound of cold iron sand cost 20 spirit stones.

Now, more than a year later, the price of a pound of cold iron sand has risen to 30 spirit stones.

I wonder what the Water Dragon Sect wants this thing for...

It's so much!

If things continue like this, Qingbo Pond will probably be "taken over by the state".

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Lunar New Year, a piece of news suddenly spread like wildfire in Zengtou City, or rather, in Yunyuze... The Water Dragon Sect's selection process has been brought forward!

It was a whole year ahead of schedule!

The Water Dragon Sect selection, which was originally scheduled for next year, has been brought forward to this year.

Moreover, time was of the essence; before the news had even spread completely, the Water Dragon Sect's "recruitment army" had already settled in various markets.

If Wen Lin hadn't happened to go to Zengtou City to buy medicinal herbs that morning and brought back this news, Ji Yuan wouldn't even have known.

However, this sudden news disrupted all of Ji Yuan's plans. He had been thinking that by the time the Water Dragon Sect selected students next year, he would be able to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

With the help of the Yin Ghost Formation, even those at the peak of Qi Refining will dare to fight.

Even if they joined the Water Dragon Sect, they could still establish themselves.

If I had broken through earlier, I could have gone to the island that Qiu Qianhai described and see if I could get that opportunity before going to the Water Dragon Sect.

But right now... not to mention that we're not prepared for anything like cultivation, we haven't even finished dealing with all the buildings in our house.

The building effects can be turned off, but the spirit fish and chickens inside... oh well!

Or we could just leave it alone; it's not worth much anyway, so let the Lin and Wen families handle it.

Joining the Water Dragon Sect is crucial. If he doesn't join today, he might have to wait another three years. Ji Yuan can afford to wait one year, but he can't afford to wait another three years.

go!

With a thought, Ji Yuan summoned Tu Yue and put her into his storage bag. Fortunately, this corpse puppet was just a mindless corpse and not a living thing, otherwise it would have been a troublesome matter to deal with.

Why did the Water Dragon Sect suddenly advance the selection process?

And they're rushing it so much, not giving anyone any time to prepare. The news spreads today, and the selection has to be done today... Logically speaking, giving them a few days to prepare would be fine.

After all, many cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining are still in various places in Yunyu Marsh, or rather, they are away from the market.

Even if they receive the message and return, it will still take some time.

"Thump—"

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock at the door. Ji Yuan went to open it and saw quite a few people standing there.

Both the Lin and Wen families arrived, and Lin Hu even brought his one-year-old daughter. The six of them stood guard at the door watching him.

This made Ji Yuan feel a little embarrassed.

Before he could speak, Lin Hu, who was his closest friend, took the initiative to ask, "Brother Ji, are you going to the Water Dragon Sect?"

"Brother Ji's strength is sufficient. There's no point in him staying in Zengtou City any longer. It's indeed time for him to go to the Water Dragon Sect."

Wen Lin sighed as he said this.

Among his feelings was a reluctance to part with his neighbor and friend, after all, in the past six months, Ji Yuan, who had already advanced to a mid-grade alchemist, had shared a lot of alchemy experience with him.

Over time, Ji Yuan actually gave him a lot of guidance, which improved his alchemy skills.

But Ji Yuan also sensed something else in his words. He was worried that Ji Yuan would forget their promise after joining the Water Dragon Sect.

"Let's go take a look first." Ji Yuan didn't make any promises too confidently, lest something unexpected happen and he end up contradicting himself.

"If I really add it then..."

Ji Yuan suddenly looked up before he could finish speaking.

A streak of light blue streaked across the sky, followed by a beam of white light that fell straight down, its target still the courtyard itself.

"not good!"

Ji Yuan instinctively thought someone was attacking him, so he raised his hand and summoned the Hundred Fish Shield. The shield grew to six feet in size as it was blown by the wind, protecting the people outside the courtyard.

He raised his hand again, and the Qingfu Sword appeared.

The blue and green light reflected off each other, and mirrors appeared in the sky above the courtyard.

As the white light drew closer, Ji Yuan saw it more clearly. This white light... didn't seem to be a sneak attack, but rather a letter. However, spiritual energy was attached to it, which was why it looked like a spell.

Who sent the letter?

Ji Yuan leaped into the air, the Thunder Falcon Boat vanished in a flash, and as the mirror disappeared, Ji Yuan also put away the letter.

He landed back in the courtyard and looked up at the sky. The streak of light that had streaked across the sky earlier had long since disappeared... The person was gone, and Ji Yuan didn't know who he was.

After looking around and not seeing anyone else, he put away the Hundred Fish Shield.

"Okay, it's alright now."

Lin Hu and the others then looked up, their eyes filled with lingering fear. "Brother Ji, what happened...?"

"I don't know. You guys go back first. I'll tell you what's going on later."

Ji Yuan's expression was slightly gloomy.

They all nodded in agreement. Among them, Wen Lin, who had the highest cultivation level, was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. If Ji Yuan had really gotten into some kind of dispute with someone else...

The techniques of the late Qi Refining stage are nothing to Ji Yuan, but if they were to fall on them, it would probably be a dead end.

So when Ji Yuan returned to the house, Lin Hu and Wen Lin exchanged a glance, and neither of the two families spoke. They silently set off for Zengtou City.

It's not that they're abandoning their friends, but if a real fight breaks out, their presence here won't be of much use. They'll only cause collateral damage and distract Ji Yuan.

After Ji Yuan returned to his room, he immediately took out the letter, scanned it several times with spiritual energy to make sure there were no problems, and then called out to Tu Yue to help him open it.

If a corpse puppet dies, it's gone; you can always get another one. But if you die, you lose everything.

Fortunately, there were no other tricks in the letter, and the content was only a short line.

The handwriting is messy, and it looks like it was written in a hurry.

Ji Yuan managed to decipher the contents, and all of them had signatures.

The signature reads "Xu Fugui".

The content is:

"Trap! Don't go! Anyone who joins today will be sent to the front lines."
