Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 975: Chapter 370: Martial God Tower—[Transcendent Martial God]!

He directly went to the Foundation Establishment Steward here and said he needed 100 jin of Ink Iron.

Very soon, the 100 jin of Ink Iron was packed into a Storage Bag and delivered over; that Foundation Establishment Steward even said he didn’t need any Spirit Stones.

Ji Yuan of course wouldn’t take advantage of this small favor; after tossing down 50 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, he rode his Escape Light back to Great Dream Island.

He didn’t take advantage of him, but the Communication Talisman the steward gave, Ji Yuan still accepted.

A short while later.

Deep within the[Cave Mansion], inside the Level 0[Martial Arts Arena], Ji Yuan laid out those 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones plus the 100 jin of Ink Iron on the ground.

“Upgrade!”

This time, Ji Yuan couldn’t even be bothered to think more; after confirming there was no mistake, he directly chose to upgrade.

Upgrading from Level 0 to Level 1 naturally wouldn’t cause any strange phenomena.

It was just that the Spirit Stones, together with the Ink Iron, all turned to ash and dispersed.

When Ji Yuan looked up, he happened to see the number above his head jump.

[Martial Arts Arena: lv1]

Upgrade successful!

Ji Yuan immediately summoned the panel again and looked at the status of this Level 2[Martial Arts Arena].

[Martial Arts Arena: lv2 (cannot be upgraded)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Body Refining efficiency within the Martial Arts Arena +40%.]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Heaven-piercing Martial God): You may enter the second floor of the Martial God Tower.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Clear the first floor of the Martial God Tower; body cultivation steps into the Bone Forging Realm; Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×10000; Ink Iron Mother ×10 jin; Black Flint ×3 pieces; Tier Three Demon Pill ×3. (Not achieved)]

Ji Yuan swept his gaze up and down.

All ordinary improvements, entirely within his expectations.

As for Spirit Effect 1’s Body Refining efficiency, each upgrade increasing by 20% was still decent.

As for Spirit Effect 2, calculating it like this, Level 1 grants access to one floor; it probably corresponds exactly to the body cultivation realms.

He just didn’t know whether there were seven floors in total or nine.

Looking at the remaining upgrade conditions, Ji Yuan found that he only lacked Ink Iron Mother and Black Flint.

He then took out the Communication Talisman from that Foundation Establishment Steward of Floating Dream Market and asked him about these two types of Immortal Talent resources.

Very soon, a reply came back.

There was Ink Iron Mother within the Bone Nightmare Sect, but no Black Flint; he said he could arrange for someone to go purchase it in Lindong City and bring it back soon, asking when Ji Yuan needed it.

And this was exactly the advantage of having a sect; for this kind of routine errand-running task, Ji Yuan didn’t need to go personally at all.

“No hurry, just help me prepare it. I’ll come over to get it when the time comes.”

Since the[Martial Arts Arena]had already been upgraded to Level 1, Ji Yuan wasn’t anxious.

He planned to go take a look at this Martial God Tower first.

After all, even if he wanted to upgrade the[Martial Arts Arena]to Level 2, he’d have to clear the first floor of the Martial God Tower first.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan became even more expectant.

He was already inside the[Martial Arts Arena], and with a movement of his heart, he activated the second Spirit Effect of this[Martial Arts Arena].

Heaven-piercing Martial God!

As Ji Yuan’s heart thought fell, he felt as if a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping his whole body.

He instinctively raised his head to look, only to find nothing there.

…No, that’s not right!

In a daze, Ji Yuan sharply looked around, only then realizing he was no longer in that cave.

The place he had appeared in was a plaza paved with bluestone slabs.

And a dozen or so meters ahead of him, a tall tower stood.

The tower’s entire body was made of black bricks, with eight eaves, each corner hung with copper bells.

Just a single glance gave Ji Yuan a deep sense of oppression.

On the front left of the tower stood a tall stone stele.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Yuan saw the prominent two characters “Martial God” written on it.

But when he actually tried to take a serious look at it, he discovered he simply couldn’t raise his head.

He turned his head to the left, just facing that stone stele.

His head immediately felt an incomparably powerful pressure, forcing him to lower it.

“Hm?!”
