Longevity through Upgrading Buildings Chapter 823 - 341: Qiu Qianhai: "I’ve Become the Old Demon Qiu?!

The mere thought of it ignited Ji Yuan's fury.

He had just escaped the tumultuous Cangluo Continent, hoping to find a tranquil haven for his cultivation.

Yet, who could have anticipated that someone would already be causing widespread chaos in his name!

"Brother Ji?"

Witnessing Ji Yuan's mounting anger, Mu Xueyao grew concerned and couldn't help but call out softly.

Her gentle utterance jolted Ji Yuan from his agitated state.

He turned his gaze to the Golden-haired Female Cultivator before him... truth be told, she possessed an almost overwhelming attractiveness.

Her hair was a cascade of fluffy, naturally golden curls, framing a small face as fair as snow with a hint of youthful plumpness. Her eyes, appearing innocent yet moist, held pupils like sapphires.

And her figure? That was another matter entirely, defying expectations.

Her captivating appearance and physique seemed impossibly mismatched.

Ji Yuan even found himself thinking that certain aspects of her build could rival Dong Qian’s.

Such beautiful sights invariably brought a measure of joy, and Ji Yuan felt his mood lighten slightly.

"Brother Ji, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Mu Xueyao inquired, reaching up to touch her own fair cheek.

Ji Yuan casually shifted his gaze away, then, after a moment's contemplation, posed a question, "Could you perhaps see me as someone other than the Ji Yuan you know, and tell me about that Ji Yuan?"

"Uh... Brother Ji, have you forgotten your memories?"

Hearing this, Mu Xueyao detected an underlying strangeness.

"Yes!"

Ji Yuan affirmed, "My memory has indeed been lost. Quickly, tell me, what was I like before?"

Sensing Mu Xueyao's nascent irritation, Ji Yuan quickly urged her to speak. Despite his curiosity, seeing Ji Yuan's resolute demeanor, she reluctantly took a seat.

After a brief recollection, her eyes curved into a smile as she remarked:

"Hmph, actually, I know precisely what Brother Ji has been up to. I've been diligently investigating Brother Ji’s deeds all these years. Every single action you've taken has been meticulously documented."

Shortly thereafter, Ji Yuan observed Mu Xueyao retrieving a substantial tome from her Storage Bag.

‘Is there truly someone who records everything with such detail? This is quite unnerving.’

As these thoughts crossed Ji Yuan's mind,

Mu Xueyao commenced her narration.

Ji Yuan listened with rapt attention, unwilling to miss a single syllable, and thus learned the extent of the troubles this imposter Ji Yuan had inflicted upon his reputation!

It unfolded much as Mu Xueyao had initially described.

It began with the sand prison in the Land of the Far North, followed by provocations directed at the Bone Nightmare Sect and the Soul Refining Hall. After antagonizing these two significant sects, the trail led south, where, en route, the individual couldn't resist stirring up trouble with Tiangong Valley.

Remarkably, the Black and White Divine Hall, the most formidable sect on the Jiyuan Continent, was even spared.

It appeared there were still entities and matters that this 'Old Demon Ji' hesitated to confront.

The account then proceeded to the Land of the Far South.

Both the Profound Snake Mansion and the Xuanqing Sect had also been provoked by him.

Later, it seemed a significant figure from the Profound Snake Mansion was antagonized. Cornered with no escape, and hearing news of a Teleportation Array to Cangluo Continent being constructed in the Land of the Far West,

the imposter turned his path towards the Land of the Far West.

However, even upon arriving in the Land of the Far West, his restless nature persisted, with the robbery of Celestial Killer Mountain and the insult directed at Yun Ya Guan becoming almost routine.

Nevertheless, for Ji Yuan himself, these actions were not the primary concern.

The preceding events merely indicated that this 'Old Demon Ji' had amassed a multitude of enemies and incurred countless life debts.

Beyond these matters, what Mu Xueyao emphasized most frequently were the 'romantic debts' this 'Old Demon Ji' had accumulated.

These entanglements spanned from the Land of the Far North to the Land of the Far South, and extended to the Land of the Far West, leaving no region untouched.

Here, in the Land of the Far West, just a few years prior, this Old Demon Ji had even abducted a Female Cultivator from Yun Ya Guan, who was in the Fake Pill Realm, and treated her as he had others.

This Female Cultivator from Yun Ya Guan ultimately fell deeply in love with Old Demon Ji.

Upon her return, she immediately entered secluded cultivation, successfully ascended to the Core Formation Stage, and defiantly declared that anyone seeking to harm Ji Yuan would have to overcome her lifeless body first!

Subsequently, this Fairy of the Golden Core Stage was reportedly imprisoned by Yun Ya Guan.

The sect feared she might cause further disturbances if released.

Apart from female cultivators from major sects, this Old Demon Ji had also become entangled with several Loose Cultivators in the Core Formation Stage... Ji Yuan rubbed his temples.

Life debts could be managed; once sufficiently powerful, he could simply eliminate those who posed a threat.

But romantic debts, how could those possibly be resolved?!

No.

The fundamental prerequisite was ensuring they never discovered his true identity.

"Brother Ji... you truly are quite the dashing figure, aren't you? Humph, humph!"

The sudden words reaching his ears jolted Ji Yuan awake, a stark reminder that his identity was known to someone nearby. He realized that no matter what he said to explain, she simply wouldn't believe him.

However, listening to Mu Xueyao’s account, there was a silver lining.

The other female cultivators mentioned were indeed the ones Old Demon Ji had provoked and become ambiguously involved with.

But in the case of Mu Xueyao standing before him, the situation was different.

This young woman merely held feelings of gratitude because Old Demon Ji had once saved her life. She had come willingly to find him, only to encounter Ji Celestial Venerable instead of the actual Old Demon Ji—a purely coincidental meeting.

"I told you, that's not me,"

Ji Yuan altered his tone once more and then mused, "From this moment on, I shall be known as Li Changshou."

The name Ji Yuan could no longer be used; to do so would be akin to seeking death.

After all, the surname "Ji" was exceptionally uncommon, and to then bear the given name Ji Yuan… who would possibly believe it was a mere coincidence?

Furthermore, there was the name Qiu Qianhai, which Ji Yuan had considered, but upon reflection, with the Cangluo Continent and Jiyuan Continent now establishing contact,
