Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 85: Chapter 82: Ji Yuan’s ”Death,” Ji Yuan Breaks Through

After killing the Spirit Fish, he did as usual and extracted Cock’s Crown Blood from three Red-crowned Roosters, and harvested 10 Spirit Eggs along the way.

After finishing these tasks, he took his Flying Boat to Zengtou City.

When he arrived at the Fish Cage, even before landing, the nearby fishermen had already made way for him, and some were already greeting him.

”Elder Ji, long time no see.”

”Haven’t seen you for a few days, Elder Ji seems to have grown younger.”

”Looking as splendid as ever, Brother Ji!”

”...”

Hearing the voices by his ears, Ji Yuan first smiled and nodded, considering it as saying hello, while feeling in his heart just one thing... When lacking power, everyone seemed to be an enemy, and selling fish at this cage had to be done carefully.

Now that he had power, everywhere seemed to be full of friendly faces.

So, ultimately, one must improve their strength.

”Daoist Ji, I’ve been wondering why I haven’t seen you lately, turns out it’s because...”

The Water Dragon Sect’s on-duty cultivator familiarly greeted Ji Yuan, as he also noticed the change in Ji Yuan’s aura, but did not point it out.

”Just lucky, just lucky.”

Ji Yuan modestly smiled. After selling the Spirit Fish, he didn’t visit any other places.

When he returned to his lakeside cabin, even before landing, he noticed that Lin Hu’s courtyard was quite lively.

Not only was Lin Hu there, but the entire Wen family was present too.

Ji Yuan guessed what was happening, thought for a moment, and landed in Lin Hu’s yard.

Before he could put away the Flying Boat, he heard Lin Hu excitedly shouting:

”Brother Ji, I’m a dad now!”

”I, Lin Hu, have a daughter!”

”Well, congratulations to you then.”

Ji Yuan sincerely smiled.

Lin Hu was speaking excitedly with the Wen family, most of the time asking Wen Lin for advice on child-rearing.

Soon enough, the midwife came out, and Lin Hu quickly approached her, first giving her 3 Spirit Stones for the delivery fee, and then went inside together.

The midwife understood Lin Hu’s family situation, having no parents, so she gave many instructions on how to care for the baby and Wu Qin.

Seeing there was nothing else, Ji Yuan and the Wen family didn’t stay to disturb.

A year later, Wen Linger also turned one year old, her once chubby body had slimmed down, her height had increased slightly, and even her personality seemed to have become gentler, no longer being so boisterous.

At least she wouldn’t rush over asking Ji Yuan for hugs like she used to.

But the habit of asking Ji Yuan for food still persisted.

Just like now, even as Zhao Yuechan constantly held onto her, she kept tilting her head around her mother’s leg, making faces at Ji Yuan.

Wen Lin was cheerfully chatting with Ji Yuan.

”Brother Ji, do you know what’s going on with the Water Dragon Sect now? The price of the elixirs is changing every day.”

”It seems like there’s still friction with the Joy Palace, but the specifics haven’t been revealed yet. But with the elixir prices changing every day, isn’t Brother Wen profiting nicely?”

Ji Yuan likewise said with a smile.

Wen Lin is an alchemist; the more expensive the elixirs, the more he earns naturally.

”Not really, not really. Brother Ji’s talismans are quite similar, they’ve increased in price a lot recently.”

Wen Lin quickly chuckled and said.

”It’s been alright.”

This year, Ji Yuan indeed earned quite a lot of Spirit Stones from Talisman Painting, otherwise he wouldn’t have quickly mastered the middle-grade talismans of the first rank.

Arriving at Ji Yuan’s doorstep, Wen Lin paused his steps, just watching Zhao Yuechan and her daughter enter the house.

”Brother Wen, is there anything else?”

Ji Yuan looked at him and asked.
