Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1136 - 402: Butcher Mountain, Ji Yuan Assists the Nascent Soul!
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
Knowing this was a hot potato, he casually patted it and handed it to True Monarch Bai Chui beside him.
Holding a bronze hammer, he laughed heartily:
"Alright, since none of you want it, I’ll accept it."
Before he could put it in his Storage Bag, a Willow Leaf flew from behind him.
His head slightly shook, and Master Qingcheng’s Drooping Willow Leaf Flying Sword nearly brushed his neck as it flew past.
The bronze hammer in his hand struck towards the incoming Willow Leaf Flying Sword.
But the Flying Sword, like a gentle ribbon, twirled along the bronze hammer and flew past.
Before True Monarch Bai Chui could withdraw his hand.
A pink long ribbon flew from the void, its overwhelming Mana spilling out, entwining his arm.
And beneath his feet, two corpse-stained hands appeared out of thin air, gripping his ankles the moment they emerged.
Master Xuan Huang activated a golden Treasure Pearl, and as Golden Light shone down, it scattered upon him.
At first, it looked like Golden Light, but upon closer inspection, they were clearly Flying Needles as thin as ox hair.
The four of them besieged one, and when they attacked simultaneously, it showed an overwhelming stance, eager to kill if there was any disagreement.
True Monarch Bai Chui also saw this.
If he didn’t withdraw his hand... these people could really kill him, and then divide his possessions.
Struggling against the four’s onslaught, his hand loosened, and the Thousand-Wood Nascent Soul Pearl flew from his hand, landing next to Master Qingcheng.
Originally the person most in need of this item, Master Qingcheng now blew a breath, sending the Nascent Soul Pearl to the original Grave Digger Ghost.
"I don’t want it."
The Grave Digger Ghost flicked his finger and bounced it to Master Xuan Huang.
Clearly a sought-after treasure earlier, now it was like a cursed star, shunned by everyone.
Discarded as if it were trash.
"You don’t want it, why should I?"
Master Xuan Huang also flicked it, sending it flying towards True Monarch Bai Chui again.
The finally freed True Monarch Bai Chui saw this, and without stopping, he dodged and fled.
By chance, as he dodged, the Thousand-Wood Nascent Soul Pearl flew towards Ji Yuan’s location.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, his eyes widened.
How could this happen?
Just as he was about to utter an incantation to escape, he saw a blue flow of light flash by.
Soon after, the Thousand-Wood Nascent Soul Pearl was gone.
In mid-air, only a joyful laugh echoed, "Alright, alright, since none of you want it, I’ll reluctantly take it."
At this moment, the one who snatched the Thousand-Wood Nascent Soul Pearl was none other than Master Qingcheng.
"Well done, Master Qingcheng, take my hammer!"
True Monarch Bai Chui laughed, swinging his bronze hammer again.
As he saw the shadow of the hammer appear out of nowhere in front of him, Master Qingcheng performed a strange Escape Technique, accelerating swiftly, passing directly through the hammer’s shadow.
He was fast, but Baihua Wanderer was even faster.
She transformed into a drop of water that dissipated, and when her form gathered again, she was already in front of Master Qingcheng, blocking his path.
"Friend... well done."
Blocked, Master Qingcheng stopped, and the other three also caught up.
Just like before when four besieged the Grave Digger Ghost.
Except now, the Grave Digger Ghost was outside, arms crossed, watching Master Qingcheng in the middle like a spectator.
Seeing this, Master Qingcheng wasn’t panicked. He glanced around and suddenly pointed forward.
A Tier Four Long Sky Falcon’s corpse appeared out of nowhere.
At the moment this appeared, the remaining four retreated a few steps.
But when they saw what it was, their eyes were even more shocked.
"You... Eagle Changkong, he..."
The sight left Master Xuan Huang too shocked to speak.
"I encountered an inattentive one on the way, so I slaughtered it by chance... just a coincidence."
Master Qingcheng said, casually storing the Long Sky Falcon’s body, coughing into his hand.
He seemed weak, but his presence was more potent.
He had slain a Same-tier Cultivator with no harm to himself...
That alone forced them all to take him seriously.
Master Qingcheng seized their moment of hesitation, executing the same Escape Technique, his form passing through the Grave Digger Ghost, darting far away.
Watching this scene, Ji Yuan’s heart was both anxious and delighted.
Anxious, naturally worried Master Qingcheng might not get away.
Delighted, because he acquired the treasure, if he could advance to Mid-stage Nascent Soul...
For Ji Yuan, it would undoubtedly be a very successful investment.
Even if he forms his own Nascent Soul later, he could seek his Guardianship.
Ji Yuan watched as a blue flow of light moved away, followed by four other flows of light.
"Young friend, I’m afraid I can’t protect you. You should leave quickly too, otherwise, once they come to their senses, they might target you..."
The further Master Qingcheng spoke, the fainter his voice became.
By the time he finished speaking, Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense couldn’t detect his position anymore.
"In that case, it’s time for me to depart too."
Murmuring to himself, Ji Yuan looked towards the higher peaks of Butcher Mountain.
Sadly, he could see nothing.
Let alone the Star-Stepping Wheel; not even its shadow was visible.
Ji Yuan rose, composed himself, and uttered softly.
"Chase lightning."
His form disappeared instantly, but when he realized, he found...
He seemed to have chased the wrong place.
