Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 1173 - 411: Reunion with Liu Yuan, Old Friends Meet Again

"Daoist Kunyu, have you ever heard of Qingyou Sea?"

Ji Yuan knew that Qingyou Sea was located further south of the Land of the Sea Ruins, but its exact location was unknown.

"Qingyou Sea?"

Kunyu Zhenren, who was just about to head back to Qingyou Island, paused. She subconsciously scanned the surrounding sea.

But upon further thought, she realized Ji Yuan wouldn’t be referring to the Qingyou Sea in front of her.

"Brother Li is asking about the Qingyou Sea south of the Sea Ruins?"

"Exactly."

Ji Yuan nodded.

"I know of it, but I’ve never been there... Oh, I remember Daoist Yu Guang once mentioned it during a casual chat. He seems to have visited Qingyou Sea once."

Kunyu Zhenren recalled this and her eyes brightened.

"Zhenren Yu Guang, huh."

Ji Yuan instinctively repeated.

Zhenren Yu Guang was another friend of Liu Yuan’s. He was also a cultivator residing on Qingyou Island with Liu Yuan.

On the way here, Ji Yuan heard Zhenren Yu Guang’s name mentioned several times by Kunyu Zhenren.

Overall, he should be a good person; otherwise, Liu Yuan wouldn’t have befriended him or cohabitated the island in retreat for cultivation.

Ji Yuan pondered as he descended rapidly towards the remote Qingyou Island surrounded by the four seas.

"Let’s go, let’s land on the island first."

"..."

"Who?!"

Ji Yuan, following behind Kunyu Zhenren, was detected by three Core Formation cultivators as soon as he set foot on Qingyou Island.

Soon, three streaks of escape light ascended to the sky, revealing their figures before Ji Yuan.

The person in the middle, dressed in a blue robe, bore a long sword on his back and had a wine gourd hanging at his waist, giving off a somewhat tipsy appearance.

Just looking at his looks, who else could it be but Liu Yuan?

The person to his left was a handsome middle-aged man clad in a black and white magic robe, further accentuating his elegance.

Ji Yuan recognized him; he had seen Zhenren Jinghong before in West Border City.

As for the middle-aged man on Liu Yuan’s right, dressed in a gray robe with slightly gray hair, Ji Yuan hadn’t encountered him before.

But he supposed that this should be the Yu Guang Zhenren Kunyu Zhenren spoke of.

All three before them were indisputably late-stage Core Formation cultivators, in addition to Kunyu Zhenren, who was mid-stage. This group formed a formidable force even in the Extreme East Sea.

But despite such prowess...

How did the East Sea Three Evils dare provoke them?

They had at most one late-stage Core Formation cultivator among them, yet were so utterly unable to resist being killed.

With just a glance, Ji Yuan contemplated much.

Kunyu Zhenren, having narrowly escaped death, couldn’t hold back upon seeing Zhenren Jinghong and directly lunged into his arms, clinging tight.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan... maintained eye contact with Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan, utterly flabbergasted, was rendered speechless.

"You you you..."

"Why, not welcome?"

Ji Yuan feigned a turn, "Then I might as well leave."

"No, Lao Li, how the hell did you come here?!"

Liu Yuan realized and swiftly dashed in front of Ji Yuan, blocking his path.

At this moment, Liu Yuan’s eyes were wide open, devoid of any sign of drunkenness but filled with immense joy.

He had thought about meeting Ji Yuan again, but never imagined it would occur here.

Moreover, that Ji Yuan would come seeking him actively.

"No choice, couldn’t make it outside, had to seek you out."

Ji Yuan spoke half-truthfully half-jokingly.

"Haha, don’t worry, come on by!"

Liu Yuan, as always, did not hesitate in the slightest but instead patted his chest and said affirmatively.

After speaking, the sound transmission rang out above Ji Yuan’s consciousness.

"The Old Demon Ji from Rashamon Sea... is that you?"

"Yes."

Facing Liu Yuan, Ji Yuan had no reason to conceal himself.

"No worries, I’m here."

Liu Yuan said nothing further, simply spoke the sentence before turning and laughingly addressing Yu Guang Zhenren:

"Old Yu, this is the long-time friend I’ve mentioned to you countless times, Li Changshou!"

"Brother Li’s name is truly renowned."

With a hearty laugh, Yu Guang Zhenren stepped forward and saluted Ji Yuan.

"Greetings, Brother Yu Guang."

Ji Yuan returned the gesture with a smile.

Meanwhile, Zhenren Jinghong and Kunyu Zhenren seemed to exchange a few words via sound transmission, causing Zhenren Jinghong to exclaim in shock.

"What?!"

His outburst drew the attention of Liu Yuan and the others.

They all turned to face him.

Zhenren Jinghong, looking at Liu Yuan, explained, "On her way back, Senior Sister encountered the East Sea Three Evils."

"What?!"

Liu Yuan exclaimed in surprise too.

Straightening up, Kunyu Zhenren wiped away the tears from her eyes and recounted the incident in a few words.

As soon as they heard that Ji Yuan instantly killed the East Sea Three Evils, they couldn’t help but gaze at him with disbelief.

It was somewhat expected for Liu Yuan, considering they had known each other since their days at the Water Dragon Sect.

Thus, he was aware of Ji Yuan’s abilities and skills.

But hearing that Ji Yuan could instantly slay the East Sea Three Evils left him shocked nonetheless.

Even he would likely have to fight for his life to kill the East Sea Three Evils.

...It seems Elder Ji’s strength is far above mine.

Mid-stage Core Formation; this lad must have concealed his cultivation. He has probably reached the Peak of Core Formation.

Even Liu Yuan couldn’t help but inwardly lament.

Let alone Zhenren Jinghong and Yu Guang Zhenren.

Now, their gazes at Ji Yuan bore traces of respect.

Especially with Zhenren Jinghong.

He inevitably recalled the time when he first met Ji Yuan, back when Ji Yuan was merely an early-stage Core Formation cultivator.
