Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1002 - 375: [Spiritual Energy Cannon: Level 2] → [Meteor Cannon: Level 3]_5
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
No matter the Bone Nightmare Old Demon or Fire Spirit Ghost Mother, when the time comes, one shot from my cannon will wipe them all out!
Ji Yuan’s heart was filled with joy, and he placed his hand on the halo of the [Meteor Cannon], gathering information... still [Level Three].
Just like the [Level 2] [Spiritual Energy Cannon].
The [Level 3] [Meteor Cannon]... one blast is equivalent to the full strength strike of a Peak Golden Core.
To activate it, 5,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones are necessary.
Ji Yuan remembered the original Spiritual Energy Cannon required at least 10,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones for a full-powered attack at Peak Golden Core.
Looking at it this way, upgrading isn’t completely without benefits; after upgrading, the cost decreases.
The second level is equivalent to the full strength strike of an Early-stage Nascent Soul.
The cost is huge... one shot requires 30,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
The third level is even more so.
A full strike from Mid-stage Nascent Soul requires 60,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones per shot... which amounts to two years’ yield from the [Spirit Vein].
But thinking about it, it seems feasible; it’s like closing off for two years to end up with the life of a Mid-stage Nascent Soul elder.
Having perceived the situation of the [Level 3 Meteor Cannon], Ji Yuan summoned the panel, looking at the spirit effect of the next level.
[Meteor Cannon: Level 4 (Not Upgradeable)]
[Spirit Effect: Bright Sun Energy Gathering, Meteor Sinking Moon. Can strike down Mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators at most.]
[Upgrade Conditions: Upper-grade Spirit Stones × 5,000; Tier Four Array Master; Four Artifact Refiners; One piece of Five-Element Jade; Three pieces of Immortal Flying Stone; One Tier Five Demon Pill. (Not Achieved)]
Still simply the only spirit effect.
[Level 4 Building].
The upgrade already requires a Tier Five Demon Pill, yet still only has one spirit effect; among Ji Yuan’s many buildings, perhaps it’s the only one.
But if this [Level 4 Meteor Cannon] could be upgraded... neither Cangluo nor Extreme Abyss continents would be able to stop me, would they?
At that time, a probable [Level 1 Meteor Cannon] could blast Peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
Who could stop me?
Fantastically happy, Ji Yuan stored away the panel and then reluctantly gathered up the [Meteor Cannon] placed on the ground.
Even though he now desperately wants to test it out.
But this cannon... must not be fired carelessly. If fired correctly, there can be gains; if mistakenly fired, consequences must be borne.
Following, Ji Yuan walked out of the stone coffin, with the exterior still peaceful and harmonious.
’Coming out for so long now, it’s time to return. If I don’t, probably those two old ones would begin to suspect.’
Though it’s indeed a good option to escape right now, Ji Yuan seeks maximum benefit, pondering if he can still acquire some good items from those two old demons.
Besides, Ji Yuan harbors a wish to explore the Rashamon Sea, after all, it involves the treasure of the Yin Ghost Sect.
Even if you don’t obtain it, it’s worth going in to take a look.
Thinking this, Ji Yuan cultivated in the cave mansion for half a month before leaving retreat to meet Junior Martial Uncle Long Ba.
"This cultivation technique is excellent; I’ve passed it down once and gained immensely. Two more times remain; see who would best benefit from it so as not to waste it."
Long Ba threw the black cheekbone back to Ji Yuan, his eyes gleaming with a hint of amusement.
"Alright."
Ji Yuan replied, storing it away, then took out the remaining "Gathering Stone" from his Storage Bag, "I used two of these items; this remaining one is unnecessary for me. I kindly request Junior Martial Uncle to accept it."
Ji Yuan said it and offered it with both hands.
Long Ba glanced downward, then looked at Ji Yuan and saw his expression devoid of any pretense.
"No need; I’ve accepted your cultivation technique as compensation."
"This Gathering Stone is useless to me; I don’t even dare take it out for trade." Ji Yuan smiled, "Let Junior Martial Uncle hold onto it; if unconvinced, prepare a gift when I achieve Nascent Soul Formation."
Long Ba pondered for a while, seemingly hesitating.
Ultimately, he nodded.
"Alright, I’ll accept this favor."
Long Ba took the Gathering Stone, allowing Ji Yuan to breathe a sigh of relief.
Long Ba then asked, "Are you going to the Rashamon Sea?"
Ji Yuan wasn’t surprised that Long Ba knew about the Rashamon Sea; someone of such standing not knowing that little information would be strange.
"Yes... probably must go. Those two old demons from Bone Nightmare Sect are watching me; it’s likely related to this purpose. Are you going, Junior Martial Uncle?"
Ji Yuan responded.
"That place is your Human Race’s secret realm. We Demon Race entering would be first to get attacked, so we’re not going."
Long Ba chuckled.
Ji Yuan showed a bit of regret on his face.
Long Ba continued, "But I can point you in the right direction."
"Please speak, Junior Martial Uncle."
Ji Yuan immediately bowed.
"When the Rashamon Sea opens, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Loose Cultivator named Master Qingcheng from your Human Race will head there. If you meet him, show him this item, and he will protect you."
Upon finishing, Long Ba flipped his right hand, revealing a green willow leaf.
"Just say you’re a disciple nephew of Long Ba."
"Yes."
Ji Yuan accepted the green willow leaf with both hands.
But at that moment, Ji Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his divine sense, his face turning pale instantly while his whole body shivered... Damn, that Fire Spirit Ghost Mother is attacking my Divine Soul!
Is she planning to kill me now?
Just when Ji Yuan was considering whether to use the "sever divine technique" to cut off this dispensable strand of divine sense, the stabbing sensation vanished.
Long Ba, vigilant of the surroundings, then transmitted a message:
"What’s wrong?"
"That old hag is targeting my Divine Soul, probably wanting me to return due to my long absence."
Ji Yuan murmured with a sullen expression.
