Previously on Longevity through Upgrading Buildings...
The Soul Devouring Venerable was confronted by the Young Master of the Land of the Sea Ruins and his powerful Mid-Tier Four subordinate. Despite his reservations about trading valuable Nascent Soul cultivation techniques and resources, the Venerable was overpowered by the accompanying demon elder. Faced with a grim alternative, he reluctantly handed over three Gathering Spirit Stones to secure a technique and his own life.

The previously non-upgradable feature becoming upgradable means it’s real!

"Go!"

As Ji Yuan’s words fell, Long Ba stretched out his hand and gave a smack on the back of the Soul Devourer Venerable.

The wisp of Demon Qi around his nose and mouth immediately transformed into a long rope like a sea serpent, binding his body.

Then, with a gesture, Long Ba retrieved the cheekbone engraved with the Nascent Soul Technique that Ji Yuan had just handed to him.

"Scared——"

Ji Yuan hadn’t expected Long Ba to be so decisive, taking back the Nascent Soul Technique meant for the transaction. This was no longer a trade but outright robbery!

... Uncle-Master, are you always this rash?!

It’s either kill or loot!

I came with the intention of trading, how did it turn into robbery with you?

Ji Yuan hadn’t expected this, let alone the Soul Devourer Venerable.

In the eyes of the Soul Devourer Venerable, filled with rage.

Long Ba, taking Ji Yuan with him, transformed into a water-blue escape light and dived into the Island Protection Array.

In just a few breaths, Ji Yuan found a gap in the array, Long Ba broke the array with a strike, and the two left with ease.

Inside Luoyun Island.

Long Ba’s method of trapping the enemy was not sophisticated in itself, so in no more than a few breaths, he had already broken free. In a single step, he was over Luoyun Island, turning to look east.

His face was nothing short of extremely ugly.

He, a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, was attacked at his doorsteps, that was one thing... but to be robbed, having the most important Immortal Talent snatched from him.

He didn’t even dare to pursue afterward.

How humiliating is this?!

For a moment, the Soul Devourer Venerable felt a fiery rage burning in his chest, almost igniting his entire body.

But at this moment, a familiar voice abruptly echoed in his mind.

"Brother Soul Devourer, I heard there’s a Tier Four Sea Beast here, is it true?"

This voice is... Lu Muwu is here!

The openly strongest at Yunyao Temple, Qian Array Old Monster at mid-stage Nascent Soul!

At this moment, the Soul Devourer Venerable felt he found his backbone, and hurriedly replied:

"Brother Lu, not only that, but a mid-Tier Four Great Demon also came from the Sea Ruins, bringing along their young master from the Sea Ruins, and they snatched my three Gathering Spirit Stones!"

Just as the Soul Devourer Venerable finished speaking, a burst of brilliance flashed in the distance, and amidst the overwhelming golden light around him, there inexplicably appeared an old man with white whiskers and hair, holding a staff.

The newcomer’s face was gloomy.

"Sea Ruins, young master? They robbed your Gathering Power Stones?!"

"Precisely!"

The Soul Devourer Venerable nodded urgently.

"Arrogant!"

With a heavy stamp of his staff on the void, the entire sea area’s Demon Qi was instantly dispelled as the mana swept through the surroundings.

"Do they truly think Yunyao Temple is full of nobodies?!"

"Brother Soul Devourer, come! Let us slay this lair!"

With that said, the figure of Old Monster Qian Array flashed forward, transforming into a golden light breaking straight through the water surface, flying eastward.

Yet the Soul Devourer Venerable, who didn’t dare to pursue earlier, now ran faster than anyone.

However, this speed was much slower compared to Old Monster Qian Array.

Further east, on that calm sea surface, Long Ba along with Ji Yuan were also escaping rapidly.

Not only that, but he also held the Turtle Shell he had used for projection in his hand, staring at it intently, Ji Yuan wasn’t sure what kind of spell he was casting.

All he knew was that before long, Long Ba suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Not good, Old Monster Qian Array is catching up!"

... So is this Divination?

Can I create such constructs?

Fleeting thoughts passed through Ji Yuan’s mind, and he hurriedly asked: "We’ve gone so far ahead; he shouldn’t be able to catch up, right?"

"Soul Devourer Venerable can’t catch up, but Old Monster Qian Array can. He once traded three sets of Tier Four Arrays with the Black and White Divine Hall for a top-grade Metal Escape Technique, exceedingly quick. Even among mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, he’s among the fastest... I’m not proficient in speed, but even if he catches up, he can’t kill us, you can rest assured."

Long Ba, fearing Ji Yuan didn’t understand the situation, explained it very meticulously.

In Ji Yuan’s quickly turning mind, he found several response strategies within a short moment.

"Uncle-Master, any plans?"

After all, with Long Ba here, Ji Yuan had to leisurely ask for his opinion.

"I have no plan, if he catches up, we fight him, just that if he stalls us... if Lady of Joy arrives, we’ll be in trouble."

... So, apart from killing, you really have no other means!

While Ji Yuan complained inwardly, he quickly said, "I have a way to hide, if Uncle-Master is willing, we can hide nearby first, and come out when the situation calms down, what do you think?"

"Alright."

Long Ba agreed without a second thought.

For him, what’s the big deal about hiding?

Ever since he gained consciousness, he didn’t know how long he had been lurking in hiding!

"This stone can isolate Divine Sense, this conical hat can conceal our aura, together... I don’t know if it can dodge Old Monster Qian Array’s search, but it’s worth a try."

After all, if we flee, we’ll eventually be caught.

Long Ba’s previously eastward direction was now heading straight south, while another aura flew northward.

His Divine Sense swept over the two items Ji Yuan provided, "Miracle Treasure?!"

"And this..."

When he saw the stone Ji Yuan gave, which could isolate Divine Sense, was actually a coffin, he was somewhat speechless.

But it didn’t matter; he quickly sensed it and immediately said, "Rest assured, your Uncle-Master also has some means, with the help of this item, we surely can evade Old Monster Qian Array’s pursuit, just as for you lad..."
