Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 751 - 318: Strange Insect "Elixir of Immortality"! (Double-length, Please Vote)

After... after that, two Frost Serpents carried them away.

Fortunately, they proved reliable when it mattered most.

Recalling these two Frost Serpents, which had already reached the Peak of Tier Two, Ji Yuan retrieved two golden-threaded bags from the Hundred Insects Old Immortal’s Storage Bag.

The bags were small, fitting within the palm of a hand.

Within them lay a quantity of powder.

As soon as it was revealed, the potent demonic energy contained within the powder was palpable.

This was a secret medicine, known as Seizing Beast Powder.

It was a potent concoction designed to aid a Tier Two Peak Demon Beast in its breakthrough to become a Tier Three Demon Beast!

Ji Yuan meticulously examined the powder with his Divine Sense, confirming its efficacy and safety.

Had he acquired this through a trade with the Hundred Insects Old Immortal, trepidation would have been his companion.

However, having taken it from the opponent's Storage Bag after dispatching him and seizing his treasures, his peace of mind was vastly greater.

With a gentle motion, he tapped the Spirit Beast Bag at his waist.

"Alright, time for some community service."

Two azure Spiritual Lights emerged, materializing into two thick-limbed Dragons.

Upon landing, they seemed to detect a scent, both raising their heads in unison.

One on the left, one on the right, the two Frost Serpents latched onto Ji Yuan’s thighs. Monday, in particular, even extended its tongue, behaving like a masterless hound, shamelessly clinging on.

While Tuesday was not quite as effusive, Ji Yuan observed Tuesday’s unusually eager behavior for the first time.

'Could this Seizing Beast Powder truly be this magnificent? It has rendered these two Frost Serpents so incredibly enthusiastic.'

Ji Yuan's thoughts drifted, comparing it to the allure of a Pill Essence Fruit presented to him.

Were he in their position, he might have felt an equal pull.

Gazing down at the two Frost Serpents, he offered a smile and declared:

"Fear not, there are two portions, one for each of you."

With that said, he surveyed his surroundings, deciding to prepare an additional, specialized Cave Mansion to facilitate their breakthrough.

Half a day elapsed.

Observing the expansive cave, Ji Yuan felt a deep sense of reassurance.

This cavern was more than sufficient to accommodate them, even if both Frost Serpents were to advance simultaneously.

Currently, both Frost Serpents were lying placidly on either side.

Ji Yuan decided not to prolong their anticipation.

With an upward sweep of his hand, two portions of Seizing Beast Powder transformed into twin Spiritual Lights, descending directly into the mouths of the two Frost Serpents.

They promptly gulped them down in a single motion.

The instant they finished swallowing, mere moments before Ji Yuan could depart, he noticed Tuesday was suddenly enshrouded by an intense, bone-chilling aura.

... Is it about to break through already?!

Ji Yuan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Monday observed Tuesday with a clear expression of envy.

Indeed, Ji Yuan himself would have shared that same envy.

He mused that if Frost Serpents possessed Spirit Roots, Tuesday's would undoubtedly be a Celestial Spirit Root.

Such an accelerated rate of advancement was simply astounding.

Monday cast a resentful glance before refocusing its attention on diligently refining its portion of the Seizing Beast Powder.

Ji Yuan, too, proceeded to seal the stone door of the cave, turning his attention back to the inventory of spoils.

A substantial quantity of Spirit Stones remained, amounting to over 20,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Lacking any need for them immediately, he transferred them directly to the Mountain of Mind and Heart, entrusting Tu Yue with their organization and categorization.

Regarding Talisman Treasures, the deceased elder possessed none.

It was presumed that for a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, Talisman Treasures held diminished utility.

Furthermore, whispers spoke of an echelon above Talisman Treasures, designated as "True Treasures."

These artifacts, while akin to Talisman Treasures in function, were meticulously crafted from the Lifebound Magical Treasures of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Their potency amongst Core Formation cultivators was immense, making them exceedingly rare.

It was said that merely a handful of Nascent Soul cultivators existed across the entirety of the Cangluo Continent, let alone those who would utilize their Lifebound Magical Treasures to forge True Treasures.

Should any such items exist, they would invariably be reserved for the closest of kin.

Like Jiang Hong... his parents occupied the Nascent Soul stage, likely possessing Nascent Soul True Treasures.

Among the miscellaneous items, the most significant discovery Ji Yuan made from the Hundred Insects Old Immortal's effects were his inheritance and the peculiar insects he cultivated.

Odd insects were relatively easy to procure, but his inheritance... Ji Yuan searched diligently through the Storage Bag but found no trace of it.

"Could it be that the inheritance itself could only be bestowed once, vanishing into nothingness after its transfer to him?"

This hypothesis held a considerable degree of plausibility.

Ji Yuan had previously consulted Hu Li on this matter, but even he had no answers.

Consequently, Ji Yuan found himself without recourse.

He then diligently perused the numerous books and Jade Scrolls stored within the Storage Bag, eventually uncovering a multitude of methods for cultivating these peculiar insects.

It appeared, indeed, that this was the case.

The Hundred Insects Old Immortal had seemingly expended his final opportunity for bestowing an inheritance.

"It appears the Hundred Insects Old Immortal cherished records, leaving behind so many resources to be savored later."

For the present moment, his attention turned to the peculiar insects the old monster had left behind.

A flicker of excitement arose within Ji Yuan as he considered this.

After all, he hadn't anticipated that the Hundred Insects Old Immortal would still possess a Dream Butterfly egg, a creature previously thought to be intensely hallucinatory and ranked thirty-sixth among the world's odd insects.

It had been kept within the Hundred Insects Cave for cultivation.

When Hu Li had presented it to Ji Yuan, a measure of skepticism lingered.

The Dream Butterfly egg was clearly on the cusp of hatching, yet a minute Array had been employed by the Hundred Insects Old Immortal to halt its further development.

The reason for this was only natural: having already possessed a Dream Butterfly Egg, the acquisition of another would serve no purpose and would conversely necessitate significant resources for its cultivation.

"Honestly, the most sensible course of action would be to sell it, but he couldn't bring himself to part with it. While Spirit Stones are replenishable, this peculiar insect, the Dream Butterfly, is exceedingly rare."

Ji Yuan proceeded to a small chamber within the Cave Mansion, his gaze settling upon the diminutive, finger-sized insect egg, marked by black and white patterns and enveloped by an Array.
