Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 95 Lu Wan's Destruction of the Wu Family [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Admittedly, Ji Yuan was somewhat pleased to hear this.

The selection process will continue next year, which means we don't have to wait another three years. All plans remain intact; we just need to join during next year's selection.

"That's fine then."

As Ji Yuan finished speaking, he looked up and saw streaks of light moving across the sky from south to north.

After recruiting the men, the disciples on duty from the Water Dragon Sect led them back. The leader was, as always, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Their momentum was overwhelming, and even the marks left by the flying boat were much thicker than those left by Qi Refining stage cultivators... What a show-off!

Ji Yuan looked up, his mind inevitably wandering.

Most of them will be sent to the front lines. It's unknown how many will be left to return after the events involving the Water Dragon Sect and the Joyful Palace are over.

Who in Zengtou City has joined the Water Dragon Sect?

Ji Yuan asked curiously.

Wen Lin was an outsider. Although he had lived in Zengtou City for several years, he still didn't understand Lin Hu as well.

"Qin Long and He Laosan from the Qin family have both joined the Water Dragon Sect. The fact that Old Blind Qin hasn't shown up basically confirms that the old man is indeed dead."

Most people in Zengtou City didn't have a good impression of the Qin family.

"Oh? Two of the Qin family's later members have joined. Aren't you leaving one to guard the house?"

This surprised Ji Yuan somewhat. Without the support of the late-stage Qi Refining realm, the Qin family's days in Zengtou City would likely be very difficult.

Moreover, once Qin Long and his companion arrive, they will be sent directly to the front lines. Forget about taking care of their families; they themselves will be in dire straits.

Looking at it this way, it seems the Qin family is doomed even without my intervention.

"I'm not staying anymore. I can join the Water Dragon Sect myself, so who cares about my family?"

When Wen Lin said this, there was a clear hint of resentment and sarcasm in his voice.

That makes sense. Two years ago, when the Water Dragon Sect was selecting candidates, Qin Long tried once but failed and only narrowly escaped with his life.

Now that he has this opportunity to be exempt from the exam, he naturally cannot miss it.

"What about the Wu family? Wu Wenbin isn't joining, and not even Wu Yan is going?" Ji Yuan looked at Lin Hu with a puzzled expression.

Speaking of this, Lin Hu actually smiled slightly, and then, as he spoke, his voice was tinged with emotion, "A big thing happened to the Wu family, Brother Ji, you didn't go to see the excitement... sigh, it's really a pity."

"Indeed, this spectacle is quite enjoyable to watch."

Ji Yuan was somewhat surprised that even Wen Lin said so.

"Oh?"

"What exactly is all this commotion about?"

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"The Wu family is gone."

Lin Hu's four simple words summed it all up.

"Gone? Wu Wenbin is dead too?"

This news surprised not only Ji Yuan, but even Du Wanyi couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly."

Lin Hu had met Du Wanyi several times, and when he saw her speaking, he quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Before Ji Yuan could ask any more questions, Lin Hu took the initiative to say, "Lu Wan also joined the Water Dragon Sect, and she joined through the Dao of Talismans. Not only that, she actually created a method of drawing talismans to assist her, which allowed her, who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, to draw talismans at the late stage of the first level."

"After joining the Water Dragon Sect, Lu Wan offered to hand over the talisman-drawing technique to the sect. She asked for nothing more than for the Water Dragon Sect to kill the entire Wu family."

"Without any hesitation, the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Water Dragon Sect killed the Wu family father and son on the spot. The rest of the Wu family were also killed by the disciples of the Water Dragon Sect."

"this……"

Ji Yuan was also shocked by the news.

He couldn't help but think of the time when Lu Wan came to visit him. At that time, Lu Wan was already very confident and told Ji Yuan that she would see him again at the Water Dragon Sect.

Looking back now, it seems she probably already planned what happened today.

Or perhaps she had already created this method to assist in drawing talismans back then, but waited until now... She's a ruthless person, with the courage to endure hardship and bide her time.

Now that he's joined the Water Dragon Sect, as long as he doesn't die on the front lines, he'll probably be able to make a name for himself in the future.

No, with her talent, the Water Dragon Sect probably wouldn't even send her to the front lines... Ji Yuan thought to himself.

"Brother Ji, you have no idea how many people cheered when Lu Wan successfully took her revenge." Lin Hu was also a little excited.

Clearly, she was also putting herself in Lu Wan's shoes.

It makes sense. From Lu Wan's perspective, it's about resisting tyranny, harboring deep hatred, enduring hardship to avenge herself, and ultimately joining the Water Dragon Sect.

This kind of script certainly has enough exciting moments.

Not to mention the fishermen at the bottom of Zengtou City, who are inherently dissatisfied and resentful of those in high positions.

Seeing them die now only brings even greater joy.

"The Wu family father and son really messed things up. If they had been more ruthless from the beginning and killed them directly, none of this would have happened."

Wen Lin sighed, "It's a pity that he insisted on maintaining his image, becoming a smiling tiger, a Master Wu. Now look what's happened."

"Perhaps this is fate."

Ji Yuan didn't say much, nor could he say much.

"Um."

Wen Lin nodded and clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Brother Ji, are you about to go out? I won't disturb you any longer."

Upon seeing this, Lin Hu and his family quickly bowed and took their leave.

With the selection process over, the Water Dragon Sect has already left with their newly recruited disciples. In that case, Yun Yuze should be fine now.

"Let's go see Yao Jingfeng."

After they finished speaking, they summoned their respective flying boats and headed straight for Huaiyinfang.

Tai'anfang is close to Zengtou City, so Du Wanyi arrived quickly. Ji Yuan guessed that this was the reason why she came to find him first instead of Yao Jingfeng.

However, Huaiyinfang was a bit far away. After a while, when Ji Yuan and the other person's flying boat landed at Yao Jingfeng's door, they found that the gate was tightly closed and no one was home.

Du Wanyi called out several times but received no response, so she called over the neighbors instead.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Du."

The man who came out was a gaunt-looking old man wearing a slightly faded blue robe. He bowed to Du Wanyi very solemnly.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, do you know where Yao Jingfeng has gone?"

Not to mention Du Wanyi, even Ji Yuan had some suspicions in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Yao has already joined the Water Dragon Sect. What, Fellow Daoist Du didn't come with him?" The man surnamed Huang looked very surprised, and even pulled on his beard.

"No... he joined the Water Dragon Sect."

Du Wanyi felt a little forced when she tried to force a smile. "Thank you... thank you, Fellow Daoist Huang."

"Fourth brother, let's go."

After Du Wanyi finished speaking, she summoned the flying boat again and took off into the air.

Now that we know Yao Jingfeng has joined the Water Dragon Sect, there's nothing more to say.

The two didn't fly far before landing on a small island off the shore.

"It seems there really is no news coming back from the meeting," Ji Yuan sighed.

Although I don't know why, could it be that this incident happened so suddenly, and the Water Dragon Sect was too secretive, so that ordinary disciples couldn't get the news?

But Old Master Xu can, so it seems he probably has some connections in the Water Dragon Sect.

"Yes, definitely. If there's any news, Yao Jingfeng certainly won't jump into a fire pit."

Du Wanyi's face looked very unpleasant.

She and Yao Jingfeng had the best relationship to begin with, and given the extremely bleak prospects of Yao Jingfeng's future, she couldn't help but feel somewhat worried.

But alas... worrying is useless.

It's to no avail.

Even if Yao Jingfeng were already on his way to the Water Dragon Sect, or even if he were still in Huaiyinfang, we couldn't call him back.

Although Ji Yuan and Yao Jingfeng weren't that close, they were classmates... He frowned and said, "Big brother doesn't seem like such a reckless person. How come he can't even see the strangeness in this?"

"You mean Yao Jingfeng isn't that stupid, right?"

Du Wanyi said it directly.

Ji Yuan hummed in agreement.

"Have you seen your older brother since he was injured?"

"Well... he didn't come looking for me, and I didn't come looking for him either."

To be honest, Ji Yuan hadn't visited Yao Jingfeng's home since he sent him there.

Since he didn't come, Ji Yuan didn't go either. He spent his days cultivating at home and had no time to care about these social interactions.

"He was seriously injured that time, and it damaged his foundation. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he has no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage."

Du Wanyi sighed deeply.

Once she said that, Ji Yuan understood.

Yao Jingfeng probably realized there was something wrong with this selection process, but even though he did, he still chose to join.

A person who knows they have no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage will certainly not want to believe that they have no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage; only a desperate gamble would suit their thinking.

So, he gambled again!

They were gambling on that sliver of hope of joining the Water Dragon Sect, betting that joining sooner might rewrite their destiny.

"If, if the Water Dragon Sect had said earlier that they would still organize a selection next year, Yao Jingfeng probably wouldn't have joined," Du Wanyi said, looking at the shimmering lake.

"Of course, he can certainly wait a year. It's just a pity that the Water Dragon Sect is incompetent."

Ji Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. "Once he goes to the front lines, we won't be able to contact him anymore, so there's no way to solve this problem. Let's wait until we join the Water Dragon Sect next year before we talk about it."

He said that, but he added another sentence in his mind.

"That is, assuming he can come back from the front lines alive."

"Well, that's the only way."

After Du Wanyi finished speaking, she turned to look at Ji Yuan in front of her, seemingly considering and hesitating, but finally said, "Fourth brother, if there's anything, we'll have to discuss it together."

"Don't worry, Second Sister, I know how."

Ji Yuan smiled; he could understand Du Wanyi's thoughts.

The original four people became three, and now the three have become two. If the number decreases any further, they might really go their separate ways.

"it is good."

Du Wanyi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The two then parted ways and went their separate ways. Ji Yuan returned to the lakeside cottage in Zengtou City.

The Lin and Wen families were relieved to see that Ji Yuan had not joined the Water Dragon Sect.

With a neighbor who is at the late stage of Qi Refining living, even Pang Tou, who came to collect the Immortal Abode Fee, was all smiles. People who mentioned other cultivators like those undergoing Tribulation Cultivation didn't dare to come to the door at all.

Take Lin Hu, for example. He was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, but when he went to Zengtou City, many fishermen at the mid-stage of Qi Refining called him brother.

After this incident, Zengtou City had nothing to do except provide more topics for conversation.

Moreover, this topic of conversation only lasted for less than half a month before the fishermen returned to their usual selves, fishing as usual and selling their semen as usual.

Another four months passed.

In the past four months, Ji Yuan's skill in drawing talismans has become increasingly proficient. He has mastered most of the commonly used first-grade high-quality talismans. With the help of building effects, in addition to selling the talismans, he has also saved up quite a few.

After practicing drug-fueled cultivation day and night, a breakthrough in his cultivation level is imminent.

It was time for him to make some preparations for that level two spell.

He originally planned to join the Water Dragon Sect and then return to seize that opportunity, but now the situation is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and he is worried that if he goes to the Water Dragon Sect, many troubles will arise.

So it might be better to see if we can get our hands on it ahead of time.

If we can get it, that's great; if we can't, at least we tried.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. That night, he had just asked Tu Yue to pour him a cup of tea when he suddenly felt something strange in his dantian.

His cultivation level... seems to be about to break through!
