the Ice Soul Cold Dew produced by the Fish Pond has gone into its belly, causing Ji Yuan to economize on his own expenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over years and months of nurturing, even the Bee King has advanced to Tier Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Frost Serpent remained inactive, until... now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Sense that Ji Yuan had already released also penetrated into the Spirit Beast Bag at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just a glance, he was somewhat taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the Frost Serpent appeared significantly larger; Ji Yuan remembered when he first acquired it, the Frost Serpent was small enough to hang on his arm as a mascot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like a little snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming the Ice Soul Cold Dew for a while, it advanced to a late-stage Tier One Demon Beast, and its size finally increased; as it continued to eat, it continued to grow larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Ji Yuan last returned to Mist Island and released it, it was already as thick as a thigh and about four meters long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curled up, its size was almost comparable to more than half a Big Toad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its whole body was covered in icy blue scales that opened and closed slightly, along with a ferocious dragon head, exuding cold air all around, having a few traces of the Serpent’s imposing manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early-stage Tier Two Demon Beast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s Tier Two Demon Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has finally succeeded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, with the current situation, a Tier Two Demon Beast can’t change the circumstances, unless the Frost Serpent undergoes an extreme mutation and steps into a Tier Three Demon Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, with a Frost Serpent comparable to a Golden Core Zhenren, it could truly dominate the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, for now... killing Yin Tongzi wouldn’t require much effort from Ji Yuan, nor would he need the Frost Serpent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the mountain top, using the Frost Serpent didn’t make a difference either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ji Yuan was investigating the Frost Serpent, there was finally a stir on the mountain top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Ye Zhiqiu retreated from beside the Thousand Blood Demon, and after a glance at her, the Blood Demon didn’t pursue but targeted the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three cultivators from Divine Eagle Palace had never seen such a spectacle and were immediately scared, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their speed couldn’t match the Thousand Blood Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who was already slightly injured, was caught up by the Blood Demon in just a breath’s time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive right hand suddenly struck down, grabbing the head of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense was locked on, watching as the Blood Demon effortlessly plucked the head from this person as if picking a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smooth cut appeared at the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the blood could spray out, the Blood Demon grabbed his body with the other hand, opened its huge mouth, and bit the neck of the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed forth, and the Blood Demon gulped down the blood like drinking water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this scene, everyone else who was fighting stopped, each staring at the mountain top as if they had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, all the Demon Cultivators present could be considered the righteous path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the creature known as the Thousand Blood Demon was the true Demon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody kills like this... even Ji Yuan was somewhat shocked by the instant kill of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the gruesome way of killing that resembled devouring and tearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, though watching the Blood Demon on the mountain top, was always aware of Yin Tongzi’s aura nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was sinister and cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, with everyone focused on the Blood Demon, he thought Ji Yuan was panicking too, so he prepared to launch a sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, originally standing in the shadows, was quickly fading away but left a Talisman there, which, under ordinary Divine Sense perception, clearly bore Yin Tongzi’s aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, even a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same cultivation might not notice the displacement unless paying special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, though Ji Yuan was of the same cultivation level, his Divine Sense far exceeded his opponent’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since exposed, might as well kill him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Blood Demon truly goes out of control later, it would be easier to retreat instead of being dragged down by Yin Tongzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Ji Yuan prepared to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Divine Sense maneuvered the two sword embryos within his Dantian, and he simultaneously activated the Blood Marrow Pearl he carried, while also taking out a pot of Unrivaled Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Yin Tongzi saw Ji Yuan take out the wine, he made his move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaped from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jingle—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the sound rang, Ji Yuan had already retracted his Divine Sense, guarding his Sea of Consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he triggered \"Shadow Follows Form\" with a slight movement of his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his figure left the original position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While evading the assassination, Ji Yuan lifted the Unrivaled Wine and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine flowed through his intestines, and the Spiritual Qi within him seemed ignited, immediately boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but Ji Yuan also activated the Blood Marrow Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood energy surrounded him, further enhancing his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, the Concealing Breath Spell he practiced could no longer conceal his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ji Yuan attacking with full force, the concealment vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation, initially at the early Foundation Establishment, abruptly rose to mid-stage Foundation Establishment, augmented by simultaneous use of the Blood Marrow Pearl and Unrivaled Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, his aura far surpassed that of the incoming Yin Tongzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yin Tongzi was greatly alarmed, stopping his form and attempting to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ji Yuan’s voice sounded in his ear, he already glimpsed a flash of water-blue brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-05-30T14:25:45.238Z","2026-06-01T04:31:28.039Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f94a5d4c364b6bf383190b10357cc2a4eca2f860d84aa972fea5505f86ce1f5","longevity-through-upgrading-buildings-chapter-360","longevity-through-upgrading-buildings-chapter-358",816,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-through-upgrading-buildings-cover.jpg"]
