Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 135 - 114: The First Level 3 Building [Double-Length]

Chapter 135: Chapter 114: The First Level 3 Building [Double-Length]
This island is somewhat similar to the Hundred Treasures Tower of Zengtou City.
Specialized in trading affairs.
The headquarters of the Hundred Treasures Tower is located on this All Things Island. In addition, disciples of the Water Dragon Sect can also rent a shop on this All Things Island to open a small store.
When Ji Yuan came here a few days ago, he had already taken a stroll around All Things Island, but he didn’t explore it in detail.
The very center of All Things Island is a few ring-shaped five-story towers.
Each tower specializes in a trade; for instance, for talisman trading, there is a dedicated Talisman Tower, and for elixir trading, there’s a specialized Elixir Medicine Tower.
Each tower has five stories.
The first and second floors are for Qi Cultivation Stage transactions, and the third and fourth floors are for Foundation Establishment Stage transactions.
As for the fifth floor, it’s said to be prepared specifically for Golden Core Elders... Ji Yuan isn’t sure if it’s true or not.
Descending from this ring of towers, there are rows of closely packed shops.
Ji Yuan found out earlier that shops run by Water Dragon Sect disciples generally have slightly lower prices than those of the Hundred Treasures Tower.
This is tacitly approved by the Water Dragon Sect because if the prices were the same... who would buy from shops? Wouldn’t everyone just buy from the Hundred Treasures Tower?
But the prices can’t be too low. If you attempt a price war with the Water Dragon Sect’s shops,
the people from the Law Enforcement Hall will teach you the meaning of the Water Dragon Sect’s rules.
And Ji Yuan came to All Things Island today to purchase materials needed to upgrade the Level 3 Spirit Field.
Ever since he learned that a Level 3 Spirit Field could produce one stalk of thousand-year-old Illusion Spirit Grass annually, Ji Yuan couldn’t sit still.
This is something that should be upgraded as soon as possible.
He walked on All Things Island wearing the standard attire of the Water Dragon Sect, noticing that most of the Water Dragon Sect disciples were also wearing this outfit.
Of course, there were also some disciples at the Peak of Qi Refining wearing better-quality magic robes, catching attention as they walked around.
Very striking.
[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×50, Tier Two Demon Pills ×2, Profound Yin Soil 5 pounds, Tier Two Flying Locust Corpses ×3.]
There are quite a few conditions to upgrade to the Level 3 Spirit Field.
Ji Yuan went to several shops specializing in demon beast trade but couldn’t find the corpses of Tier Two Flying Locusts, nor any Tier Two Demon Pills.
Left with no choice, he prepared to check out the Hundred Treasures Tower.
Just then, he finally saw ahead a demon beast material shop occupying two store spaces.
Even from afar, he could smell the fishy odor.
The shop was quite large, so he decided to take a look inside...
As soon as Ji Yuan entered, a female disciple at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation came up with a smile and said:
"Fellow cultivator, this shop is owned by the Fire Phoenix Island Master. Our prices are fair, and whether buying or selling, you’re welcome to take a look first."
"Oh?"
Since it’s a shop owned by a Foundation Establishment Island Master, no wonder it’s so large.
Ji Yuan glanced around and found that there were quite a number of disciples buying and selling here, many of whom were at the Peak of Qi Refining.
He looked at the female cultivator beside him and asked, "Do you have the corpses of Tier Two Flying Locusts?"
"We do. Do you need the ones with demon pills or without?"
The female cultivator replied with a smiling face.
"Hmm... what’s the price for both?" Ji Yuan asked.
"These Flying Locusts are Tier Two beginner-level demon beasts. If they don’t have demon pills, 10 mid-grade Spirit Stones will suffice. With the demon pill, it’s more expensive, needing 30 mid-grade Spirit Stones."
The prices are reasonable.
The most precious part of a demon beast is the demon pill, so the significant price difference is understandable.
If calculated this way, a Tier Two Demon Pill is priced at 20 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
"How much if I just want to buy one Tier Two Demon Pill... a beginner-level one, with no specific attribute requirement?"
Since these are transactions in mid-grade Spirit Stones, Ji Yuan needs to be meticulous.
Even a price difference of just 1 Spirit Stone equates to 100 low-grade Spirit Stones.
"Are you saying any Tier Two Demon Pill will do?"
The female cultivator asked again to ensure clarity.
"Exactly."
"Please wait a moment."
After speaking, the female cultivator hurried to the back of the counter and whispered a few words to a middle-aged man at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation before quickly returning.
"Based on your requirements, we have two ’Black Water Louse’ demon pills available. One is for 15 mid-grade Spirit Stones, and we also have an ’Earth Dragon Worm’ demon pill for 18 mid-grade Spirit Stones."
"If I want the two Black Water Louse demon pills, can you give me a slight discount? Additionally, I need three Flying Locust corpses without demon pills."
"This..."
The female cultivator hesitated a bit, then softly said, "You may not know, but these Tier Two Demon Pills are consigned here by friends of the Fire Phoenix Island Master, so we really can’t lower the prices. But if you need three Flying Locust corpses, we can offer a discount... how about 27 Spirit Stones?"
With this calculation, a locust corpse also gets a 1 mid-grade Spirit Stone discount.
Converted to low-grade Spirit Stones, it’s a 100-piece discount each.
"Well... that’ll do."
Ji Yuan spoke with a pang in his heart.
The two demon pills cost him 30 Spirit Stones, and the three corpses 27 Spirit Stones, totaling 57 Spirit Stones.
This is a significant transaction, naturally making the female cultivator very pleased.
After arriving at the counter, Ji Yuan also took out the corpse of the Tier Two demon beast that the Big Toad had hunted earlier.
This item was too valuable, so Ji Yuan hadn’t dared to sell it back in Cloud Rain Marsh.
Now that he’s at the Water Dragon Sect, he has no such concerns.
As soon as he took it out, it caught the attention of many cultivators inside the shop.
"Could you help me appraise how many Spirit Stones this beast carcass is worth?"
