Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 722 - 309: Golden Core Body Cultivator!!!
Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
In Ji Yuan’s grasp, the final item revealed was the Storage Bag bestowed by Hua Yaoyue.
A gift from my Master... Ji Yuan inhaled deeply, his Divine Sense probing its depths, only to be instantly arrested.
The contents within the Storage Bag... were not abundant.
Quite the contrary, when juxtaposed with the immense size of the Storage Bag, the items inside felt rather sparse.
Yet, these very items were precisely what Ji Yuan desperately required.
Tier Three Demon Pills, a grand total of 8!
Each Tier Three Demon Pill rested within an ornate Jade Box, arranged in a circular formation, delivering a jolt of surprise to Ji Yuan upon sight.
The 8 Tier Three Demon Pills encompassed the five elemental affinities: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Astonishingly, one even possessed the Ice Attribute Demon Pill that Ji Yuan needed most!
With this, and the remains of a Tier Three Serpent, the [Fish Pond] could be elevated.
As for the remaining Demon Pills, they were exactly the materials Ji Yuan needed to enhance his various buildings.
And the provisions did not end there!
Encircling these 8 Tier Three Demon Pills was a Jade Cup, cradling a Demon Pill of noticeably greater magnitude.
The very aura it emanated sent a tremor of palpitations through Ji Yuan.
Could this be... a Tier Four Demon Pill?!
Undeniably, it was.
Furthermore, it was a Tier Four Water Attribute Demon Pill.
Had his Master truly slain a Tier Four Demon Beast? Whom could they have possibly targeted?
Was it the ancient turtle concealed beneath the Water Dragon Sect?
Or perhaps his Master ventured across the seas for a hunt?
This particular Demon Pill brought to mind a prior contemplation.
It had crossed his mind when he was assessing the required Demon Pills for building advancements.
At that moment, he had harbored a wish for Hua Yaoyue to assist him in hunting Demon Beasts.
Back then, it was merely a fleeting thought, and he had never anticipated she would actually fulfill it.
No, perhaps she had instead plundered the treasury of the Water Dragon Sect.
Regardless of the method, this represented his Master's profound affection.
Yet, Hua Yaoyue's expressed affection did not cease there, for Ji Yuan discovered another item that should not have been present in the Storage Bag – something he required even more urgently.
The Void Nether Stone.
Ji Yuan gauged its weight with his Divine Sense; precisely 52 pounds.
Considering that even the Li Family could only produce slightly over ten pounds, Hua Yaoyue's ability to provide 52 pounds at once... the magnitude of her efforts was self-evident.
But how did she ascertain his need for the Void Nether Stone?
Upon careful recollection, Ji Yuan realized he had never conveyed this requirement to her. The only individuals aware of his need for the Void Nether Stone were the members of the Li Family.
Most plausibly, the Li Family had informed her.
Nevertheless, irrespective of the source of her knowledge, the 52 pounds of Void Nether Stone would perfectly address Ji Yuan's pressing needs!
This was because housing the [Spirit Vein] specifically mandated 50 pounds of Void Nether Stone.
While it could accommodate several other structures, their output, truthfully, could not rival the yield from the [Spirit Vein].
Enhancing the [Spirit Vein] was analogous to honing the blade before felling the timber.
Once the [Spirit Vein] generated a sufficient quantity of Spirit Stones, they might potentially be acquired, even through purchase.
However, should other buildings be housed, this advantageous effect would not materialize.
The Storage Bag provided by Hua Yaoyue exclusively contained these two crucial items.
... If this was an unforeseen provision, it should represent the extent of his Master's protective measures.
But it was sufficient.
Immensely sufficient!
With the Void Nether Stone now in his possession, Ji Yuan's most paramount objective was, naturally, to swiftly house the [Spirit Vein].
Delaying by even a single day could result in the loss of hundreds of Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
This was certainly not something that could be postponed.
He acted without hesitation, conjuring two Flying Swords to excavate a deep subterranean cavern. Upon completing the excavation, he expended thousands of Spirit Stones to meticulously arrange the cavern.
It was imperative that the Spirit Vein possess an appearance befitting a [Spirit Vein].
Once Ji Yuan had emplaced nearly two thousand Spirit Stones, the cavern finally underwent its transformation into a [Spirit Vein].
His gaze fixed upon the luminous inscription that materialized above, he then summoned his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Mountain of Mind and Heart.
Finally, he retrieved 50 pounds of Void Nether Stone and carefully deposited it within the [Spirit Vein].
"Collect!"
Without extraneous words, as Ji Yuan's Heart Thought resonated, a powerful suction emanated from the Mountain of Mind and Heart. This force not only drew in the 50 pounds of Void Nether Stone but also absorbed the entirety of the [Spirit Vein] into the Magical Treasure.
The instant it was fully integrated, Ji Yuan distinctly perceived a subtle increase in the weight of the Mountain of Mind and Heart.
The aura it exuded also seemed to deepen slightly.
Even the coloration of the Mountain of Mind and Heart appeared to shift towards a shade of dark blue.
However, beyond this minor alteration, no other discernible changes occurred.
Within Ji Yuan's consciousness, the internal landscape of the Mountain of Mind and Heart became visible, presenting the option to select the placement for the [Spirit Vein].
Naturally, there was little deliberation required, as Ji Yuan had already made his decision.
The [Spirit Vein] would be situated on the third floor, adjacent to the [Cave Mansion], necessitating its own dedicated side entrance for access.
In this manner, not only would the pristine Spiritual Qi from the [Spirit Vein] be accessible, but his personal 'treasure vault' could also be observed at his whim.
This sensation was truly extraordinary.
Once the placement was finalized, an almost imperceptible tremor accompanied the [Spirit Vein] as it settled into its new position.
Ji Yuan faded from his initial location.
The Mountain of Mind and Heart also reduced to a mere speck of dust, descending gently to the earth.
Within the confines of the Magical Treasure.
Ji Yuan surveyed the now meticulously arranged Cave Mansion, a profound sense of contentment filling his heart.
Indeed, Tu Yue's contributions were invaluable.
Traversing the corridor, he ventured deeper into the [Cave Mansion], naturally discovering the recently unveiled passage.
Tu Yue, alerted by the subtle disturbance, approached him.
"Come, let us explore what lies within."
Ji Yuan took the lead, entering the [Spirit Vein]. It seemed far more potent than the [Spirit Vein] he had initially cultivated within his cave dwelling.
