Ji Yuan felt it would be somewhat dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, things weren’t bad at the Alchemy Square, especially after the arrival of Ice and Fire Elder, he wasn’t oppressed, nor did he suffer aggrievedly, even receiving special treatment at times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sent a flying sword message to Hua Yaoyue once, but never received a reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this now, one of the flying sword messages might just be from Hua Yaoyue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Ji Yuan immediately returned a message to the Isle Master of Red Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Junior sister, please wait a moment; I’ll be right over.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the matter mentioned by Li Changhe and Liu Qingshan, Ji Yuan didn’t take it too seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just several people dead, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan wouldn’t find it strange just because the deceased had some minor conflicts with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the state of the world today, anyone’s death seems quite normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much less, their demon-hunting team often walks the line between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life extinguished, cultivation dispersed—such is a normal occurrence indeed, which is why Ji Yuan firmly rejected Ice and Fire Elder’s kindness back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those treasures from the six sects to assist with Core Formation, no matter how good, require one to live to enjoy them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, as Ji Yuan headed to the Isle Master of Red Flower’s residence, he sent a message to Li Changhe and Liu Qingshan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s a bit regrettable; I suppose I’ll mourn for him for a moment then.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Changhe’s response was swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it started with an exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tsk, tsk, indeed it’s true what Old Ji said, this world, strength is important, but what truly matters is who lives the longest.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As long as one lives long enough, enemies, even if not killed, may eventually die out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingshan’s message was a bit delayed, but was quite straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed heartily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Brother Ji, hearing this news, I am overjoyed, truly delighted, truly delighted!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their messages, Ji Yuan chuckled, not paying them much mind, and instead, thought of other matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had excavated a passageway underground, attempting to place 11 pounds of Void Nether Stone inside, to see if a \"Void Nether Stone lode\" could be established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was a failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it couldn’t be used for construction, it would have to be used for storing constructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though items like the Celestial Craft Square and Enlightenment Room could not be stored within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, perhaps smaller constructions like the Chicken Cage and Wine Cellar might be accommodated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to save the Void Nether Stone for large constructions or store smaller constructions first in the Mountain of Mind and Heart remained to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much deliberation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan decided to first check if there were any structures that could be stored in his Lifebound Magical Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, according to the panel, each stored structure enhances the power of his treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With resources at hand, he must quickly convert them into strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saving... saving is unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This understanding is akin to \"Enemies hoard grains, I hoard guns; enemies thereby become my granary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Void Nether Stone should be left to others for saving; as for himself, Ji Yuan figures saving strength is best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his contemplation, he soon arrived at the residence of the Isle Master of Red Flower within the Alchemy Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Isle Master of Red Flower could be considered Ji Yuan’s junior sister, having achieved Foundation Establishment after he had; now she is merely a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With limited strength, Hunting Owl Zhenren didn’t assign her the dangerous task of guarding the city but rather had her handle flying sword communications and other miscellaneous tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the weaker Liu Qingshan, there was no need to mention him, as supervising alchemy in the city was his designated role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Greetings, Senior Brother Wu You.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Isle Master of Red Flower appeared to be a gentle female cultivator, yet Ji Yuan heard Li Changhe once comment that she excelled in using poison...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No need to stand on ceremony, Red Flower.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan spoke with a courteous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Isle Master of Red Flower returned the courtesy, then retrieved two miniature flying swords from inside, featuring intricate array patterns and slightly shimmering white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Both of these are flying sword messages meant for Senior Brother.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan handed over 100 mid-grade spirit stones before accepting the two flying swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One can only say, the Cultivation Realm’s \"delivery fee,\" or rather \"phone fee,\" is absurdly expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, only long-distance flying sword communications are so costly; for short distances, using communication talismans incurs no such costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the two flying swords, Ji Yuan hurried back to his cave mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from his storage bag, he extracted the flying swords of communication; on the way back, Ji Yuan had already discerned clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Hua Yaoyue’s return message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other... was from his old friend, Liu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rarely does Liu Yuan send messages; perhaps something significant has occurred?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuan first directed his divine sense into that flying sword, eager to know Liu Yuan’s purpose in contacting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the voice of this \"Little Sword Immortal\" resonated within Ji Yuan’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Brother Ji, how have you been? It’s Old Liu here. Today, I heard the sect’s arrangement seems to be sending me to Wangcheng Mountain’s Alchemy Square for defense duties. I inquired ahead and heard you’re there, that’s great; I was just worried about feeling lonely once there.’\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-05-30T14:26:01.363Z","2026-06-01T04:31:28.039Z",1,"novelbin.me","02518a5822f411e083ca7c6617d267a3f64e811aafe1863487917031dc293a25","longevity-through-upgrading-buildings-chapter-680","longevity-through-upgrading-buildings-chapter-678",816,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-through-upgrading-buildings-cover.jpg"]
