Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 403 - 206: Foundation Establishment Stage Corpse Puppet

Chapter 403: Chapter 206: Foundation Establishment Stage Corpse Puppet

Just needed to send a message to be tricked to Wuyou Island.

Whether it was poisoning or other methods, I would fall for it, just like having taken that Qi Blood Pill just now.

But if it’s not Ji Yuan, who could it be?

Liu Yuan was still recalling.

On the other side, Ji Yuan, after leaving Willow Source Island, appeared quite complex...

’Damn it, listening to Liu Yuan’s description, it sounds like I killed him, mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, knowing he likes to drink Black Wine and knowing he went to Liancheng Mountain.’

It was precisely because Ji Yuan figured this out that he decided to leave.

He knew he hadn’t killed Liu Yuan and believed Liu Yuan wouldn’t suspect him.

But under these circumstances, staying there seemed odd, so it was better to leave early... However, from Liu Yuan’s description, even if the person who committed the act wasn’t from Water Dragon Sect, they had intricate connections with certain people within the sect.

It seems in the future, not only must one be cautious when going out, but also within the sect.

Due to riding the Scarlet Skies Skiff this time, the speed was slower.

Just returning to Wuyou Island took over a day, and by the time Ji Yuan arrived at Mist Island, it was already three days later.

During this time, Ji Yuan also tried to contact Phoenix Peach and Hua Yaoyue, but received no response, likely because they hadn’t returned yet, leaving Ji Yuan, filled with doubts, with no one to ask.

He could only wait.

Mist Island, Inside the Cave Mansion, with a thought, Ji Yuan released three sword embryos from within, finally revolving around him.

The first two need not be mentioned, the third sword embryo was the harvest of this journey.

Cloud Palace Sword.

Its appearance wasn’t much different from the other two, but it carried a slight white hue, floating in front, seemingly supported by clouds.

As for its effect, with a thought Ji Yuan discovered he seemed to be in the clouds.

A further operation made him feel as if he had arrived at an endless ocean.

Cloud Palace, inducing deep illusion.

After reviewing the gains of this journey, Ji Yuan stored the three sword embryos back into his Dantian, the formation of sword embryos signifying progress in cultivation.

It’s a pity, to break through to late-stage Foundation Establishment, he needs to refine five sword embryos.

This means he needs two more.

It’s not urgent, Ji Yuan plans to improve his current cultivation first.

In the following period, he indeed didn’t go out again, rarely leaving the Cave Mansion, spending time cultivating within the Spirit Vein.

He focused on talisman painting and alchemy, and when exhausted, rested in the Meditation Room, quickly recovering his energy.

A month flew by.

Ji Yuan stepped out of the Cave Mansion again, called out by Tu Yue, believing Spirit Field had another harvest.

Unnoticed, another year passed.

Spirit Field yielded a millennium Illusion Spirit Grass.

Ji Yuan harvested it as usual, yet without a critical strike, he still obtained only one plant.

Still, one millennium Illusion Spirit Grass equates to two to three thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Now, Ji Yuan has two millennium Illusion Spirit Grass in his Storage Bag, attempting to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, and no longer needing to visit Four Islands.

It can be refined using earth fire on Wuyou Island.

This made it much more convenient.

A rare outing from the Cave Mansion, Ji Yuan tossed the Frost Serpent wrapped around his arm into Cloud Rain Marsh, letting it relax, also feeding the Big Toad.

Finally, he arrived at the Fish Pond.

Still no Frost Serpent produced. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The probability is... exceedingly low, Ji Yuan felt that without acquiring a thread of Dragon Qi from the bottom of Li Hua River, he wouldn’t have produced a single Frost Serpent by now.

Should he explore the bottom of Li Hua River again?

The thought arose but was promptly suppressed; risking for some Frost Serpents... it wasn’t worth it.

Unless it’s for a dragon hatchling I can contract!

Situated by the Fish Pond, Ji Yuan casually tossed a drop of Ice Soul Cold Dew in, the vast pond emanated a chill, and the previously sluggish Spirit Fish detected this aura, frenziedly darting about, trying to consume more dew.

’If using Ice Soul Cold Dew long-term for cultivation, perhaps a few Frost Serpents will be bred.’

’Unfortunately, Ice Soul Cold Dew is exceedingly rare, needed by both the sole Frost Serpent and myself for cultivation.’

After inspecting the Fish Pond, as Ji Yuan was about to return to the mansion, he suddenly sensed something.

A surge of strong Yin Energy flashed from the west of Mist Island.

Demon cultivator?!

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense immediately extended, enveloping Mist Island.

The source of Yin Energy was quickly comprehended.

A child was standing dazed at the Chaotic Burial Mound, looking like he had just emerged from the earth.

His clothes were tattered, face pale as a corpse... essentially, he was a corpse.

Yet his cultivation was at mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

A corpse personally buried by Ji Yuan, how could he not recognize who this is?

Demon cultivator, Yin Tongzi!

He had successfully transformed into a Corpse Puppet!

The Foundation Establishment Stage Corpse Puppet had finally come to be!

Ji Yuan slightly perceived, connecting through the Chaotic Burial Mound with Yin Tongzi, obtaining control over him, with a thought, the child hopped through the forest, arriving before him.

’Wonderful!’

Ji Yuan let him spin around, the forehead once pierced by his Flying Sword had healed, as if nothing had happened.

However, the living aura was lost.

’With this, heading out henceforth will have an extra assurance, essentially serving as a fearless protector!’

"Come, here are your belongings, keep them safe."

With a Foundation Establishment stage Corpse Puppet, lacking superior Spiritual Artifacts would be lacking.

So, Ji Yuan returned Yin Tongzi’s bell, along with his skull-shaped Flying Spiritual Artifact.

Ji Yuan noticed that the Foundation Establishment Corpse Puppet seemingly had speech capabilities but couldn’t speak, needing his manipulation.

Considered, he used Divine Sense to control.

Yin Tongzi attempted to speak, issuing his original voice from the throat.

"Thank... you."

Ji Yuan grinned broadly.

’By the way, what are the conditions for Corpse Puppet to rise from Qi Cultivation Stage to Foundation Establishment? Should I try elevating Tu Yue to Foundation Establishment as well?’
