Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 168: Chapter 130: ”Have You Ever Been Smashed by a Talisman Treasure?!” [2-in-1]

Damn, such pretentiousness...

Ji Yuan watched Feng Yichen’s disappearing figure, and that was his only thought.

But he had to admit, the guy did have the right to be pretentious.

If it were someone else, going from Qi Cultivation to killing a Foundation Establishment, they’d be bragging to the skies.

But obviously, Ji Yuan was not that kind of person. He thought that even if he killed a Foundation Establishment while still in Qi Cultivation, he would keep it under wraps for fear of outsiders finding out.

Dong Qian should be the same kind of person.

Because when she heard Feng Yichen’s words, she showed no reaction, just leaving a note for Zhu Yue.

After all, once the two of them left, they would definitely go directly back to the Water Dragon Sect after setting the fire and wouldn’t return to Old Locust Valley, so they had to give some sort of explanation.

To this end, Ji Yuan and she each took out a piece of mid-grade Spirit Stone and placed it under her pillow as compensation for this action.

Given the great risk she took for this task, Ji Yuan was not stingy in this aspect.

Once Dong Qian finished writing the note, the two packed their belongings and left, closing the door behind them.

They walked out of the market with bowed heads and modest steps, even staying to the sides of the road to avoid bumping into anyone.

After leaving the market and reaching the mountain valley where they had landed the flying boat earlier, Dong Qian summoned the flying boat again and headed north.

The flying boat ascended into the sky.

Only then did Dong Qian speak, ”Junior Brother, I really had no choice. With Senior Brother Feng putting it out there like this, if I didn’t agree, it’d be hard to explain when we returned to the sect.”

”It’s alright, I understand.”

Ji Yuan smiled.

When you’re out and about, you can’t guarantee what’s going to happen, so it’s already a great blessing if everyone remains safe.

”Alright, that’s good, about these 8 Illusion Heart Flowers...”

”I only need 3, Senior Sister, you keep the rest.”

Ji Yuan didn’t have any alchemy recipes that required these Illusion Heart Flowers. Upgrading the Enlightenment Room only needed 3, and having more would be useless since selling one wouldn’t fetch much Spirit Stone.

Dong Qian did, however, have alchemy recipes that needed these Illusion Heart Flowers, so it was better to give them to her.

”Let’s each take 4. We went out together, so there’s no reason for me to take more.”

”I really can’t use that many. If you feel uneasy holding onto them, then just give me 1 Spirit Stone.”

Seeing Ji Yuan’s sincerity, and her genuine need for the Illusion Heart Flowers, Dong Qian chose to accept his kindness after some hesitation.

After all, Illusion Heart Flowers are quite rare now.

With 3 Illusion Heart Flowers in hand, Ji Yuan felt much more at ease. Regardless of what happened later, this trip had already achieved its purpose as far as he was concerned.

Once he returned, he could upgrade the Enlightenment Room and then go into seclusion again to improve his alchemy and talisman painting technique.

Before long, the two arrived near the warehouse Feng Yichen had mentioned.

Earlier, Ji Yuan had used his keen sight from the sky to see clearly that this place was a lumber storage warehouse. The items were too bulky to fit in a storage bag without wasting space.

Of course, it all boiled down to the fact that this lumber wasn’t of high quality.

Otherwise, Medicine King Valley would have stored it like a treasure rather than leaving it in a makeshift warehouse in this forest.

”First-grade Cyan Fir Wood, many of our Water Dragon Sect buildings are built with this. It’s not worth much, no wonder they just tossed it here.”

With her extensive experience, Dong Qian quickly identified the lumber.

By now, they were less than a hundred meters from the warehouse.

Since they didn’t know what kinds of tricks Medicine King Valley’s cultivators might have at this location, the two stopped to avoid being detected if they moved any closer.

The warehouse had only two rooms facing south.

The storehouse was fenced off at the back. Perhaps Medicine King Valley hadn’t anticipated anyone would target this warehouse, so there wasn’t even an array set up... Setting this warehouse on fire was clearly an affront to Medicine King Valley, but it wasn’t valuable enough to matter.
