Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 372 - 196: Golden Core Grades

Chapter 372: Chapter 196: Golden Core Grades
Its name - Soul Suppressing Bell.
Perhaps because it was just initiated, the color of the Soul Suppressing Bell was not very obvious, and its glow seemed a bit dim.
But that’s no problem, as long as it’s initiated, it will be easier to handle. With continued cultivation, the effect will surely improve.
Having grasped the cultivation technique, Ji Yuan spent a few more days painting talismans and practicing alchemy in the Cave Mansion.
Having not done these side jobs for a long time, he felt a bit rusty and needed to maintain his touch, regardless of how many Spirit Stones he earned.
During this month of seclusion, the chicken cage had produced more than 30 tri-colored Spirit Eggs. Besides cultivating, Ji Yuan had taken up the task of eating the eggs.
The long-missed cultivation life gave Ji Yuan a deep sense of calm.
He even momentarily regained the feeling he had in Zengtou City.
After cultivating on Mist Island for over a month, Ji Yuan took dozens of Heart’s Desire Wines to the sect.
Not only that, this time he deliberately brought three bottles of "Unrivaled Wine" as well.
He planned to have Hua Yaoyue taste them.
On one hand, he wanted to see if the "Unrivaled Wine" could open her "Unrivaled" state. On the other hand, he wanted to seek advice on some questions, hoping to get a few benefits.
The reason, of course, would be saying that he had concocted a new wine during his travels but it wasn’t quite mature yet.
So he could ask Hua Yaoyue for some guidance.
On the way to Wan You Island, Ji Yuan also took a detour to Wuyou Island.
He intended to check whether Dong Qian and Du Wanyi were there, to see how they were doing, and to inquire about the situation within the sect. However, not only was Dong Qian still out on a mission, but...
Even Du Wanyi had received her first mission and had gone out.
As for where exactly they had gone, Ji Yuan had no way of finding out and could only wait for Dong Qian to return next time to see if she knew.
’Although everyone has successfully established their foundations, we still gather little and part often.’
Thinking of the impending righteous versus demonic war, Ji Yuan fear that this would be even more so, and once the front lines are breached... everyone would likely be scattered.
If that truly happens, Ji Yuan feels he would need Hua Yaoyue’s protection.
Let alone providing protection to others.
With these concerns in mind, Ji Yuan arrived at Wan You Island.
While he was on Mist Island, he had already sent a message to Hua Yaoyue, asking if she was at Wan You Island, and felt reassured after receiving a reply.
However, this time Hua Yaoyue was neither in the pavilion where she often stayed to enjoy the scenery nor resting in the small cabin at the mountaintop. She was, for once, taking a stroll on the sandy shore.
Ji Yuan landed, put away the Sky Raider Flying Boat, and cupped his hands slightly towards the tall woman in a snow-white long dress before him, saying, "Disciple greets Master."
Hua Yaoyue stopped, looked Ji Yuan up and down, as if trying to discern something.
"Hmm, when did you return?"
"A few days ago."
A few days are a few days, over forty days are also a few days, no problem with that.
Hua Yaoyue didn’t ask Ji Yuan if he accomplished anything; that was his business, not hers. He had to speak up first for it to become her business.
"If there’s nothing else, in a few days, you should go and replace your third senior sister."
"Yes."
Currently, Phoenix Peach is still covering for Ji Yuan, mining under Liancheng Mountain.
For a total of three years.
Ji Yuan himself worked for a year, Phoenix Peach covered for half a year, roughly a year remains.
The master and disciple walked on the sandy shore, with Ji Yuan naturally falling behind Hua Yaoyue.
"Your third senior sister is about to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment. I need to take her out for a while to help her break through, so I won’t be in the sect for some time. Don’t cause trouble during this period."
Whether Hua Yaoyue was explaining the reason for Ji Yuan to go to Liancheng Mountain or reminding him to be cautious wasn’t clear.
In any case, Ji Yuan hurriedly explained, "Disciple is not one to cause trouble."
"Hmm, even if you do cause trouble, don’t worry. You can find your Sect Leader Martial Uncle or Li Gang, they’ll help you settle it."
Hua Yaoyue said as she stopped, turning around.
She just stared at Ji Yuan, until he became a bit nervous, then said, "There’s no more wine."
So it was about this. You could have said so earlier... Ji Yuan took out the pre-prepared Heart’s Desire Wine, dozens of bottles, laying them out in front of them, row by row.
Hua Yaoyue’s eyes brightened at the sight.
With a thought, she collected them, leaving only one bottle, uncorked it, and drank it all in one go.
She became even happier.
Heart’s Desire Wine, enhancing Hua Yaoyue’s current mood.
Seeing this, Ji Yuan quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, during my time out, the disciple came across a few other wines. I ask Master to taste them."
"Hmm?"
Seemingly savoring the Heart’s Desire Wine, Hua Yaoyue directly reached out her right hand to Ji Yuan.
"Let me try it."
Ji Yuan took out the pre-prepared Unrivaled Wine, using a different wine flask this time.
The previous Heart’s Desire Wine used a Spirit Jade Wine Flask, which looked exquisite and worth savoring. But as for the Unrivaled Wine?
Ji Yuan used a golden flask, with its body appearing as if it were a burning flame, indicating that this wine was very strong.
Hua Yaoyue took it, glanced at it curiously, then seemed to remember something and smiled pointedly, "This time, it won’t be the same wine you’ve drunk already, right?"
"Disciple would not dare."
Ji Yuan hastily cupped his hands, internally grumbling... Master, how can you hold a grudge for so long over such a small matter?
"I doubt you’d dare."
Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Ji Yuan thought he heard Hua Yaoyue snort softly?
