Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 99 Finally Leaving the Market [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The ground and stone walls were covered with moss, and the corners were filled with spider webs.

It looks like it's been abandoned for a long time.

There were no foreign objects inside the cave, only a stone table and four stone chairs, but without exception, they were all covered with a thick layer of moss.

There were no skeletons or skeletons lying around, so it seemed that the senior had probably left rather than died here... Ji Yuan muttered to himself.

"Um?"

As the lighting talisman was affixed to the stone wall at the deepest part of the cave, Ji Yuan finally discovered that there was a stone door covered with moss and lichen inside.

Perhaps because the moss was growing too densely, Ji Yuan didn't see it clearly at first.

Maybe there's something good inside...

With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan turned to look at the giant toad... What if it blocks the door after I go in?

If a second-tier demon beast were to trap me in this cave, I'd be in trouble. I wouldn't have anywhere to run away and would probably just have to sit here and wait to die.

Although the big-mouthed clam eater is indeed quite docile, it's still not worth gambling on.

A monster is still a monster.

One should always be wary of others, let alone monsters.

So after a little thought, Ji Yuan had an idea. He summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat, leaped onto it, and then cut out two catties of spirit pig meat from his storage bag.

When the giant toad saw the delicious food again, its previously downcast eyes immediately brightened.

low?

What's there to be down about!

The delicious food is right in front of you.

Before the giant toad could even open its mouth, Ji Yuan had already spurred the Thunder Falcon Boat away. It wasn't that it was running away, but rather that it was speeding off in the direction it had come from.

"Croak—"

The toad's voice carried a hint of displeasure.

Ji Yuan stopped after walking a certain distance and looked back at the giant toad.

It was exactly the same way the big toad had greeted Ji Yuan before.

The giant toad immediately understood, and after croaking again, it hurriedly hopped and followed.

A man and a toad, hopping and leaping.

After a while, Ji Yuan finally climbed back to the top of the cliff with the giant toad. He threw the spirit pig meat in his hand to the ground, and the giant toad immediately lowered its head and stuck out its tongue.

But when it finished eating and looked up again, Ji Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

"Quack quack—"

As Ji Yuan steered his flying boat straight down the precipice, he heard the shouts coming from above and had no choice but to accelerate again... This was the best solution he could think of at the moment.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

He dragged the giant toad to the top of the cliff, while he himself piloted the flying boat down the cliff to quickly survey the cave.

In this way, as long as the giant toad doesn't jump straight down from the cliff, there will still be enough time.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan had already arrived at the bottom of the cliff. With a thought, he put away the flying boat and released the Hundred Fish Shield before bending down and stepping into the cave.

Perhaps because the cave is on the shady side of the mountain, or perhaps because it is located at the foot of the mountain, Ji Yuan felt that the cave was somewhat damp and cold as soon as he entered.

The illuminating symbols on the stone wall still shone like lanterns. Ji Yuan stepped on the slippery moss and looked around the small stone hall.

There were no surprises, and nothing particularly good either.

In that case, we'll have to go into the small room inside and take a look.

Ji Yuan casually tossed out another illumination talisman, and simultaneously urged the Qingfu flying sword to rush in. There was nothing unusual coming from either side... It should be safe inside.

Even so, Ji Yuan still cast a spell to summon a fireball, burning away the moss on the stone door before slowly stepping inside.

As soon as Ji Yuan stepped into the small room, he felt the damp coldness become even more pronounced.

The cold seemed to emanate from the small room, rather than from the cave itself.

Strange, this cave probably has something special about it... Ji Yuan held the Hundred Fish Shield in front of him and looked around warily.

If the outer stone hall is about 20 or 30 square meters, then this small room inside is only about 7 or 8 square meters.

The furnishings were very simple, with only a stone bed at the far end, taking up two-thirds of the room's area.

There was nothing else besides that.

Whether it's the stone hall outside or the stone chamber inside, it all has a minimalist style; there's practically nothing there.

If that's the case, where did that coldness come from?

Could there be something inside this stone wall...? Ji Yuan glanced around casually and noticed that some moss on the ground seemed to be growing from under the stone bed.

Is this stone bed not part of the ground?

Was the stone bed moved here later?

As Ji Yuan raised his hand, the Qingfu Flying Sword transformed into a three-foot-long green blade, landing on the stone bed and slashing down.

In an instant, a gap was swept out of the stone bed, and the stone bed, which was originally covered with moss, immediately revealed its original color... a deep blue!

The entire stone bed is a deep blue color!

When Ji Yuan saw the original appearance of the stone bed, he was suddenly startled.

He seemed somewhat incredulous, and went forward to touch the stone bed to feel it more closely.

It feels icy cold to the touch, like touching a piece of ancient ice.

Ji Yuan took a deep breath, and then with a thought, he took out a handful of...cold iron sand from his storage bag.

The two feel almost identical, only the colors are slightly different.

The stone bed is noticeably darker in color.

"go!"

Ji Yuan activated the Azure Flying Sword once more.

This time, however, instead of scraping the moss off the surface of the stone bed, they scraped off a thin layer of the stone bed itself.

The flying sword returned, and a layer of light blue sand appeared on its blade.

In this way, there is no difference between the two.

It's exactly the same!

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan couldn't help but take several deep breaths to barely suppress the excitement in his heart.

No rush, no rush, let's finish reading first. Then, the Qingfu flying sword flashed several times, and all the moss on the surface of the stone bed was cleared away.

A stone bed radiating a deep blue light came into Ji Yuan's view.

Cold Iron Sand!

This is actually a stone bed made of cold iron sand!

How many kilograms must this weigh?

It's probably not a thousand catties, but it's definitely several hundred catties... Let's estimate 700 catties, and then calculate it using the current price of cold iron sand.

One jin (500 kg) is worth 30 spirit stones, so 700 jin would be... 21000 low-grade spirit stones?

If converted to mid-grade spirit stones, that's... 210.

Even if you swung the talisman brush until it smoked, you still couldn't draw this many spirit stones.

"Damn it, I've really struck it rich!!!"

Ji Yuan screamed wildly in his heart.

No, we must get rid of this cold iron sand first. No matter how good the item is, we have to secure it in our possession.

Moreover, that giant toad is definitely still on its way, so we need to hurry.

Ji Yuan raised and lowered his right hand, and the Qingfu flying sword once again sank into the stone bed. At first, it was very easy to stab into the stone bed, but after cutting into about one-third of the stone bed, the flying sword suddenly got stuck and did not move.

Can't break through?!

That shouldn't be the case. It's all cold iron sand, how could it stop cutting halfway through?

Ji Yuan switched his flying sword to a sweeping motion, and after a few swings, a piece of the cold iron sand bed was removed, revealing its true form inside.

It was observed that the cold iron sand only occupied about one-third of the stone bed.

The interior of the stone bed was no longer composed of cold iron sand, but of another type of mineral, which was dark blue.

Although its temperature is not as cold as that of cold iron sand, its hardness is significantly higher. When Ji Yuan's superior flying sword passed over it, it could only leave a faint white mark.

Although this isn't Cold Iron Sand, it definitely looks like a good thing.

Never mind, I'll just put it away first.

Ji Yuan then used his flying sword to remove the cold iron sand from the surface of the stone bed. Although it wasn't as exaggerated as the original 700 jin, it was still about 200 jin.

6000 low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 60 mid-grade spirit stones.

For Ji Yuan now, that's already a lot.

After storing the cold iron sand, Ji Yuan specially set aside a storage bag to hold the remaining dark blue ore.

After the stone bed was removed, a clear mark appeared on the ground. Ji Yuan looked around to make sure nothing was left behind before taking two steps out of the stone chamber.

Once back on the ground, nothing unexpected happened, and Ji Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The croaking of a giant toad echoed from the depths of the mist, accompanied by the sound of it pounding through the trees.

Ji Yuan glanced back, thought for a moment, and then pushed the boulder next to him back into place, blocking the entrance to the cave.

After he finished his business, the giant toad finally jumped over again, but before it could croak, Ji Yuan threw another piece of spirit pig meat over.

But this time it was less, only one pound was lost.

Even so, it made the giant toad forget its previous unpleasantness.

After eating the spirit pig meat, the giant toad seemed even more docile, even shifting its body slightly before finally squatting down about ten meters away from Ji Yuan.

The man and the toad quietly watched the distant mist.

Ji Yuan figured it was about time. As long as he fed it occasionally, he could move to this island and settle down without much trouble.

He turned and looked at the giant toad.

The latter then looked over.

Ji Yuan pointed to himself, then to the ground, and then gestured for a while... The big toad couldn't understand anything, and just occasionally croaked a few times.

Having no other choice, Ji Yuan finally tried to build himself a small wooden hut at the foot of the cliff.

Throughout the entire process, the giant toad remained completely still, simply watching Ji Yuan perform his plan.

Finally, when it saw Ji Yuan resting on the roof, even the sounds coming from its throat were pleasant... It seemed that there shouldn't be any problem for it to stay on this island.

If we also kept a few spirit pigs here, it would be even more welcoming.

Just to be on the safe side, Ji Yuan decided to stay on the island for two days first.

There were no problems for the two days, but the big toad always stayed by Ji Yuan's side, trying to find ways to eat meat, especially after Ji Yuan roasted a piece of spirit pig meat for it over a fire.

It couldn't eat anything else and only wanted to eat grilled pork belly.

On the third day, Ji Yuan prepared to return to Zengtou City and move his family there.

Having already secured a backup plan, he naturally needed to manage it carefully for a while before making any further moves, so that he could escape at any time after joining the Water Dragon Sect.

Ji Yuan summoned the Thunder Falcon Boat and landed inside.

The giant toad seemed to realize that Ji Yuan wanted to leave, so it immediately stuck out its tongue, intending to tie him up.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan reacted quickly and immediately activated the Thunder Falcon Spirit inside the Thunder Falcon Boat. His figure seemed to teleport, and in an instant, he broke through the mist and arrived in mid-air.

The shrill croak of the giant toad echoed endlessly in the mist. Ji Yuan glanced back to make sure nothing had followed him out, and after confirming the location of the island, he vanished.

After packing up, I'll have to move out of the market and settle on this nameless island!
