Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 226 - 148: Choosing an Auspicious Day for Foundation Establishment

Chapter 226: Chapter 148: Choosing an Auspicious Day for Foundation Establishment
"Alright."
Feng Yichen was the first to enter the room.
Ji Yuan had just come back and was thinking about making tea, but Feng Yichen had no interest in tea and directly asked, "Junior Brother Ji, aren’t you planning to go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven?"
"Oh?"
So it was because of this... Ji Yuan smiled a bit embarrassedly, "I just joined the sect, it’s not even three years yet. My strength is low, and I’m not skilled in combat, so I won’t join the excitement of Nine Nether Cave Heaven."
You’re not skilled in combat? You even killed Jian Zong...
Feng Yichen pondered, "Junior Brother Ji, both you and I have pseudo spirit roots. You’re aware of how difficult it is to establish a foundation with a pseudo spirit root. If you don’t seize this opportunity, it will be incredibly difficult to establish a foundation in the future."
No, when you all leave for Nine Nether Cave Heaven, I’ll be in seclusion to establish my foundation. Maybe when you come back, I’ll have already succeeded, and then you’ll have to call me Junior Martial Uncle Ji... Ji Yuan still shook his head.
"I’m still young, so I won’t take this risk. I’ll find another way myself."
"Junior Brother Ji, when we get to Nine Nether Cave Heaven, if we work together..."
Before Feng Yichen could continue, Ji Yuan interrupted:
"Senior Brother Feng, there’s no need to persuade me further. I’m really not interested in Nine Nether Cave Heaven."
Feng Yichen’s voice came to an abrupt halt.
He stared at Ji Yuan for a long while before slowly saying, "It’s not me asking you to go, it’s the Sect Leader who wants you to go."
"What?!"
"The Sect Leader?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately stood up, somewhat stunned. "Senior Brother Feng, are you serious?"
"Would I dare use something like this to deceive you?"
Feng Yichen spread his hands, smiling helplessly.
"No, why would the Sect Leader know about someone as insignificant as me and want me to go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven?" Ji Yuan didn’t understand the reason.
Feng Yichen knew, but he wasn’t stupid and naturally wouldn’t say. If he did, Ji Yuan would know he spoke well of him in front of the Sect Leader.
If this were someone else, they’d likely be grateful to him, but knowing Ji Yuan’s nature, he’d probably feel that he was being harmed.
"That, I don’t know, but since the Sect Leader wants Brother Ji to go, there must be a deeper reason."
Ji Yuan fell silent.
Since it’s an order from the Water Dragon Sect Leader, it’s not easy to dodge. Reasons like registration deadline won’t work...
Whether the registration is over or not is just a word from the Water Dragon Sect Leader.
But do I really have to go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven?
I’ve already gathered the materials for refining a Foundation Establishment Pill, why go and risk dying... as for establishing a foundation inside Nine Nether Cave Heaven.
It’s not unheard of for predecessors to do so.
But those who have made breakthroughs inside were all killed by the rules within Nine Nether Cave Heaven.
Suddenly, a solution popped into Ji Yuan’s mind... If this can be achieved, I won’t need to go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven and can still succeed in establishing my foundation.
Regarding being outside and not going to Nine Nether Cave Heaven, will it offend the Water Dragon Sect Leader?
Ji Yuan isn’t too worried about this.
Once I establish my foundation, I can take Hua Yaoyue as my master. With Hua Yaoyue’s strength and status, Master Xuan Shui shouldn’t dare trouble me, right?
Even if, in the worst-case scenario, I successfully establish my foundation and Hua Yaoyue refuses to take me as her disciple.
Master Xuan Shui wouldn’t likely kill me on the spot, right?
If such a trivial matter would lead to killing a foundation establishing disciple, then the Water Dragon Sect should just go to Shangxi and join a Demon Sect.
If it’s a compromise, Hua Yaoyue doesn’t take me as her disciple, and Master Xuan Shui doesn’t make it difficult for me.
That’s acceptable too.
If things don’t work out on both sides, Ji Yuan will find a chance to leave the sect and roam as a loose cultivator with Big Toad.
With a housing construction panel, it doesn’t matter where I decide to settle down.
The escape routes... I have plenty!
Feng Yichen also noticed Ji Yuan deep in thought, so he didn’t rush to ask further. In such matters, you always need to give people some time to think, don’t you?
"How about this, Senior Brother Feng, can you give me 3 more days to think about whether to go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven? I’m really not prepared for this."
Ji Yuan said with a bitter expression.
"Three days is too long, make it two. After two days, regardless of whether you go or not, you must give me an answer."
"Then... alright, two days it is."
"Mm."
Feng Yichen stood up and placed a Communication Talisman on the table, "Junior Brother Ji, once you’ve decided, just use the talisman to contact me."
After saying this, Feng Yichen left.
He never considered that Ji Yuan might not go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven. In his view, since the Sect Leader has spoken, which disciple would dare refuse?
Everyone has to comply obediently.
Just like himself... he had to as well.
After he left, Ji Yuan sat in his original spot and clenched his fists.
Unexpectedly, even when I’m about to establish my foundation, I encounter such an issue.
But now that things have come to this, they’ve already happened, Ji Yuan doesn’t have time to ponder how he caught Master Xuan Shui’s attention. Instead, he should quickly arrange for establishing his foundation.
With this thought, he pulled out a golden Communication Talisman.
Li Changhe’s Talisman.
In the Water Dragon Sect, when in doubt, Ji Yuan could only turn to Brother Li.
As for going outside the sect to find an Earth Vein Alchemy Room for foundation establishment, it would have been fine before, but now if he leaves the sect... what if he’s considered a defector?
But setting up an Earth Vein Alchemy Room on Sifang Island, Ji Yuan worried about exposure.
If Master Xuan Shui finds me before I even start establishing my foundation and demands I go to Nine Nether Cave Heaven in person, that would be hard to refuse.
Therefore, going to Li Changhe, using the Li Family’s identity to open an anonymous Alchemy Room is the best option.
Ji Yuan infused spiritual qi, and when the Communication Talisman lit up, he spoke to it:
"Brother Li, are you there? It’s Junior Brother Ji, I need your help with something."

Ji Celestial Venerable states: If I didn’t activate the farming hack, I’d have to go do dungeons and fight.
After activating the farming hack, I still have to go do dungeons and fight.
Doesn’t that mean activating the farming hack was pointless?
