Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 1172: Chapter 410: Mid-stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense—Divine Sense Transformation! [Requesting Monthly Pass]

”We had no choice but to leverage old connections and reach out to old friends, and finally we reluctantly turned to Brother Liu.”

...Indeed!

”Is Liu Yuan nearby?”

Ji Yuan immediately asked.

”Not nearby, but truly in this Extreme East Sea. He and another daoist occupy an island here, where they seem to have built a lodge for cultivation.”

Kunyu Zhenren answered truthfully.

”So what brings Daoist Kunyu here?”

”Not long ago, we discovered a Spirit Vein near Qingyou Island, where we were residing. Us few relied on our cultivation strength and proximity to directly seize this Spirit Vein, which offended quite a few cultivators of the Extreme East Sea.”

Kunyu Zhenren spoke while glancing back in the direction the two came from. ”Those Eastern Sea Three Scourges are among them. They are also quite famous tribulation cultivators in the Extreme East Sea, but unexpectedly, they encountered Brother Li.”

Ji Yuan chuckled.

He did not speak further on matters of luck.

After all, the act of killing them was already seen by Kunyu Zhenren.

If he continued to feign, it would become too dishonest.

”As for me, I had some business to attend in East Border City. On my way back to Qingyou Island, I unexpectedly ran into these three individuals, and they uncovered my identity...”

Kunyu Zhenren spoke while bowing deeply to Ji Yuan.

”Thanks to Brother Li’s rescue.”

”We are friends, no need for such formalities.”

After rising, Ji Yuan used his mana to lift Kunyu Zhenren, ”But, I didn’t expect you all to have such complex encounters.”

After saying this, Ji Yuan thought to himself.

If one really counts, his own encounters are much more complicated and difficult to explain.

West Border City, Lindong City, Bone Nightmare Sect, Rashamon Sea...

”Brother Li, do you have any destination in mind? If not, why not join me to Qingyou Island?”

Kunyu Zhenren proposed: ”Brother Liu has mentioned you countless times before us, so much so that when I returned to East Border City this time, he asked me to keep an eye out for any news of you.”

Though unsure of the veracity in these words.

Since he learned of Liu Yuan’s whereabouts, Ji Yuan found no reason not to visit.

Second sister Du Wanyi hasn’t been found yet, and in the entire Extreme Abyss Continent... Liu Yuan is the person Ji Yuan is closest to.

The bond of hometown and fellow disciples is unmatched by anyone.

After all, if it weren’t for trusting Ji Yuan, Liu Yuan would have already gone to the Desolate Ancient Continent.

”That would be great.”

Ji Yuan said with a smile: ”But I have a temporary Cave Mansion near here, where I’ve stored some things. I need to go retrieve them, so Daoist Kunyu might have to wait for me a moment.”

”Brother Li, go ahead.”

Ji Yuan did not suggest going together.

Kunyu Zhenren knew Ji Yuan had secrets that were not convenient for her to know, so she sensibly did not say more, nor did she mention wanting to accompany him.

Dealing with perceptive people is invariably easier.

Thus, Ji Yuan did not dismantle the Inverted Dipper Array, and released Monday to watch over Kunyu Zhenren.

Should any unforeseen incident occur, with the late-stage Tier Three Monday there, they could at least hold off for a while longer.

Ji Yuan soared into the sky and softly called ”Lightning,” disappearing in an instant.

Upon returning to the previous island, he gathered all the things he had stored here and then dismantled the Inverted Dipper Array.

He glanced over the island where he had spent much time in seclusion, with trees now towering.

”Who knows if I’ll have the chance to return in the future, best to leave it as a place of fond memories.”

Ji Yuan said, giving the island one last look before transforming into Escape Light and leaving.

When he returned to the island where Kunyu Zhenren had been awaiting, it was already much later in the day.

Fortunately, all was well. After picking up Kunyu Zhenren, they flew southeast according to her direction.

Earlier, Kunyu Zhenren was intercepted midway; the Eastern Sea Three Scourges blocked her path to Qingyou Island.

Being cornered, she had no choice but to escape northward.

If she had headed straight for Qingyou Island, they might have killed her.

Not to mention escaping here to be rescued by Ji Yuan.

The pair continued southward, with Kunyu Zhenren sharing stories about Qingyou Island and Liu Yuan’s recent situation.

Ji Yuan did not talk about his own affairs.
