Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 381 - 199: Don’t Be Greedy

’When the higher-ups investigate, "Where are the Spirit Stones?" They were taken by Xuan Weizi, but why aren’t they in their Storage Bags? They must have absorbed them.’

Anyway, there’s no way to reconcile accounts between the living and the dead, and even if you could... both of them have already turned into Yin Souls, lovey-dovey in my Thousand Souls Banner.

So the downside of this choice is losing this small portion of the Spirit Vein in the future.

Frankly, I’m really not short of these Spirit Stones, especially since this Spirit Vein structure has already been activated, there’s even less of a shortage.

Having pondered this far, Ji Yuan had already made a decision in his heart.

Report it and turn it over to the authorities.

But there’s a skill to reporting too; first, one must ensure they’re in an invincible position.

As for this point, Ji Yuan also had an idea.

If someone can secretly steal a Spirit Vein, exposing this incident would definitely shock even the six major Immortal Sects of Shang Dong.

The foundation of an Immortal Sect’s rule partly relies on Spirit Veins.

Without resources like Spirit Veins and Spirit Stones, who would still want to join an Immortal Sect?

In other words, Xuan Weizi’s actions are tantamount to digging up the roots of the six major Immortal Sects.

’What a pity, Master has to escort Senior Sister to break through, otherwise if she were here, I wouldn’t worry about a thing.’

’Now, I can only have the Sect Leader Martial Uncle come over, but he... according to Second Senior Brother Yun Qianzai, his strength isn’t very strong. To be on the safe side, I need him to bring Elder Li Gang over, Elder Li definitely can protect me.’

’If the time comes and our Water Dragon Sect has two Golden Core Elders here, and there’s still a problem, then I can only say that heaven wants me dead.’

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, as well as the subsequent response strategies,

Ji Yuan started to take action.

First, his Divine Sense invaded the segment of the Spirit Vein to make a rough estimate.

’Although this section of the Spirit Vein is small, it still contains over 400 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and more than 1500 Low-grade Spirit Stones. Damn, this Spirit Vein is really fierce, I must have a Spirit Vein of my own in the future and activate the Spirit Vein structure effect on it!’

Ji Yuan’s obsession with the Spirit Vein deepened.

Looking at this section of the Spirit Vein, taking it all would definitely not do, he had to leave some of it.

So, leave... 11 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and 154 Low-grade Spirit Stones.

With both whole numbers and zeros, it’s easier to gain people’s trust. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

When mining the Spirit Stones inside, Ji Yuan no longer used the Flying Sword, but instead invoked a black thread ball, using those thread ends to bind the Spirit Stones out.

After working for half a day, looking at the newly unearthed Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, Ji Yuan was finally satisfied.

’Right, there’s also the Spirit Stones in the Storage Bags of Xuan Weizi and Danxia, shouldn’t waste them.’

’Once Master Xuan Shui and the others get here, those two Storage Bags will definitely need to be handed over; better take them now than not at all.’

So Ji Yuan also took the Spirit Stones from their Storage Bags, of course, he didn’t take them all; he left a small portion as a cover.

As for other Spiritual Artifacts, and that Talisman Treasure in Xuan Weizi’s Storage Bag... Ji Yuan really wanted it!

But thinking that once Master Xuan Shui arrives, Medicine King Valley would definitely have a Golden Core Zhenren coming over too, and possibly Xuan Weizi’s master as well...

Taking it would be asking for trouble, Ji Yuan decided against it after thinking it over.

Instead of taking Xuan Weizi’s Talisman Treasure, he figured he could ask Master Xuan Shui for one when he returned, having made such a big contribution, asking for a Talisman Treasure wouldn’t be too much, right?

After making sure everything was in order and checking multiple times to ensure nothing was missed, Ji Yuan finally stepped out of the mine.

A while later.

With a composed expression, he returned to Liu Yuan’s side.

This charming and free-spirited Liu Xianren gave Ji Yuan a once-over with a smile and asked, "Brother Ji, why have you returned so quickly? There’s still a day left before it’s over, isn’t there?"

"I missed Brother Liu."

Ji Yuan smiled and rubbed his hands together.

The Medicine King Valley cultivator on duty opposite, Dan Chengzi, heard this and raised his head in surprise, then silently walked into the mine.

If Xuan Weizi weren’t absent, he might even want to take the opportunity to hide.

As soon as he left, the smile on Ji Yuan’s face disappeared.

Liu Yuan, seeing this, knew Ji Yuan had something to say.

"Brother Liu, can you contact Senior Sister Rou?" Ji Yuan asked through a voice transmission.

"I can, what should I tell her?"

"Have her contact Sect Leader Martial Uncle as quickly as possible, and have them bring Uncle Li Gang over, tell them something big has happened with the Spirit Vein... at least two Uncles need to come over."

Upon hearing these words, Liu Yuan’s expression immediately changed.

Ji Yuan continued to instruct, "Tell her to act cautiously, don’t let Lady Mei Ru and Gui Zhen know for now, and wait for us to finish this mine trip and leave before she comes over."

"Don’t ask, hurry!"

"Alright!"

Liu Yuan asked no further, injecting his Divine Sense into the Storage Bag to select and send a message to Rou Yi.

A moment later, Liu Yuan received a reply.

"Senior Sister has already sent a message to Sect Leader Martial Uncle, without alerting Lady Mei Ru and Gui Zhen. Brother Ji, what on earth has happened? Can you tell me first?"

To call over two Golden Core Zhenrens at once, such a major event happening right in front of him made Liu Yuan genuinely curious.

"There’s no issue telling Brother Liu, just be prepared and don’t reveal any flaws, lest you alert Dan Chengzi."

Ji Yuan didn’t know if this Dan Chengzi was a helper of Xuan Weizi, nor whether Gui Zhen and Lady Mei Ru were accomplices, so until the Golden Core Zhenrens arrived, he had to be careful.

"Rest assured, Brother Ji."

Receiving Liu Yuan’s assurance, Ji Yuan then said through a voice transmission, "Zhi Yun is dead."
