Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1089 - 393: [Spirit Field] [Enlightenment Room] 3

Two talismans fell into Ji Yuan’s hands.

At this point, his Contribution Points had dwindled to 763.

With so little, it seemed like he couldn’t get much in exchange.

Ji Yuan glanced at the panel again, then picked something after a moment, asking, "Junior still needs one Earth Immortal Stone and one Black Evil Pill."

"Not enough."

The Ghost Envoy blurted out, "For one Black Evil Pill, clearing your Contribution Points is the price. As for the Earth Immortal Stone... don’t mention it unless you have 1,500 Contribution Points."

"Alright... then."

They say you only realize the lack of money when you need it, isn’t it the same with Contribution Points?

Previously, it looked like he had a lot, nearly ten thousand.

But now, it was all spent in no time.

However, at least he knew where the Earth Immortal Stone was, which was a small fortunate discovery.

With his Contribution Points exhausted, the Identity Jade in Ji Yuan’s hand turned to flying ash and disappeared.

The Ghost Envoy tossed a fully black pill, emanating Demonic Qi, into Ji Yuan’s hand.

He received it with both hands, floating it with mana.

Just holding it in his palm, he could feel the energy from within the pill making his whole body’s mana surge.

He couldn’t help but feel a little alarmed.

...This Black Evil Pill seemed like a type of Demon Pill that boosts one’s strength temporarily, but at a great cost.

Ji Yuan certainly had no intention of taking it and carefully put it away, then instinctively glanced at the Identity Jade in his hand.

"Alright, the core area is out of my jurisdiction. If you want to contact me then, you won’t be able to."

"Unless you use the Golden Ghost Order to return to the Inner Realm, I can then let you out."

The Ghost Envoy said, giving Ji Yuan a serious look.

"I know you’re a promising one, but don’t end up dead in there."

"I’ll give you a word of advice: know when to back down. When you’re stronger, you can fight back. That’s all there is to matters in the cultivation realm, nothing new."

It was rare to hear a sensible word from the Ghost Envoy, so Ji Yuan still courteously gave him a salute.

"Thank you for the guidance, senior."

Ji Yuan rose and curiously asked, "May I ask, senior, after this secret realm ends, if... if I miss senior, is there a way to come back in?"

"Miss me?" The Ghost Envoy laughed, seemingly amused, "I think you’ve got your eye on the treasures in the Rashamon Sea, haven’t you?"

Ji Yuan laughed awkwardly, avoiding the question.

"We’ll see by fate. If fate allows... we’ll meet again."

The Ghost Envoy laughed, his words seeming to carry hidden meaning.

But as his voice fell, Ji Yuan found the scene before him constantly changing, and when he came to his senses, he was already back inside Rakshasa City, back in the previous room.

He instinctively called out "senior" a few times.

But there was no response.

Instead, it was Qiu Qianhai, sitting by the tea table, drinking wine and eating peanuts, who replied:

"Alright, once the Identity Jade is reclaimed, there’s no point in calling anymore. Once you’re in the core area, it’s even more of a no man’s land."

Ji Yuan realized and retracted his gaze, sitting down opposite Qiu Qianhai.

He unceremoniously grabbed the wine jug and took a sip, "What is this horse piss, drink mine."

With that, he took out four or five jars of Heart’s Desire Wine from his Storage Bag.

The matters to be discussed next were of great importance, so Ji Yuan thought to test Qiu Qianhai’s state of mind before proceeding.

Qiu Qianhai took a jug of Heart’s Desire Wine, and without hesitation, took a big swig.

Then a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

...It seemed he was in a good mood.

"Indeed, very good. Do you have more? Give me some, so I can drink it on the road."

"Yes, I’ll give you some in a bit."

Ji Yuan lightly knocked on the table, drawing Qiu Qianhai’s attention.

"You know what I want to ask, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Qiu Qianhai’s face gradually disappeared, and after another swig of Heart’s Desire Wine, his expression became heavier.

"I know, my master raised me to eventually take over my body."

With thousands of thoughts and countless ideas,

It was nothing compared to directly stating it.

Qiu Qianhai’s straightforward words even caught Ji Yuan a bit off guard.

Since he didn’t know how to start, Qiu Qianhai would have to speak himself.

"Actually, I had already guessed my master’s intention before I even reached Foundation Establishment, but at that time I thought... there was no other way. As long as I could return to Cangluo Continent, help you avenge, then whatever happens afterward didn’t matter."

Qiu Qianhai laughed heartily, "Now it seems, you didn’t really have any issues back then, did you? What I saw was all memories my master forcibly implanted in me through dreams, just to make me grow faster for him to take over."

"Mm."

Ji Yuan nodded silently, then quickly asked, "He’s not in you now... if we take this opportunity to kill him, would it work?"

"No, Lao Ji, do you, at mid-stage Core Formation, have the means to kill a Nascent Soul Cultivator?"

Qiu Qianhai looked at Ji Yuan incredulously.

...I do, and more than one.

[Meteor Cannon] is one, Nine Nether Burning Life Brew is another.

Ji Yuan furrowed his brows and shook his head.

"I don’t have such heaven-defying means, I was just thinking if he fell at the hands of the Bone Nightmare Old Demon, it would be a great fortune for us."

"Not possible." Qiu Qianhai sighed, "That old bastard has plotted countless times; for him to let me in this time, he has a full-proof plan."

"Lao Ji, you’re prepared, but my master himself is a disciple of the Yin Ghost Sect, and he walked out from the Rashamon Sea!"

It had been hard to say before, but now Qiu Qianhai finally had the opportunity to speak the truth.
