Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 460 - 224: Meditation Room: Level 2

"It’s quiet outside now, let’s head out first."

"Alright, once we’re out, let’s divide the spoils."

Ji Yuan reached out and patted his Storage Bag.

He hadn’t forgotten that inside was a Golden Core Cultivator’s Storage Bag.

Dong Qian glanced over, "Forget it, Junior Brother, you just keep it yourself. Don’t forget, I’ve got all those Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ Storage Bags with me."

"How can that be right?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Just take it when I tell you to take it." Dong Qian sized up Ji Yuan with a glance and said with a snort, "You’ve served well, so consider it a reward."

Ji Yuan: "???"

"Alright, Senior Sister, seems like you’re unsatisfied. Want to go for another round of three hundred bouts?"

"No, no, I was wrong, isn’t that enough?"

"..."

Half a day later.

Outside the Ancient Battlefield Ruins at Yaofeng Market.

After changing their appearances, Ji Yuan and Dong Qian rented a courtyard. For what purpose?

For cultivation, of course.

The experience was too good for the male and Female Cultivators to pass up. So even though they were about to part ways, they naturally took the opportunity to gain some leverage over each other.

Unfortunately, the days of cultivation are short.

In just a few days, they agreed to resume their cultivation once back at the Water Dragon Sect, and reluctantly parted ways.

One headed south, the other north.

When they were together, Ji Yuan found it hard to leave, but once separated, that feeling faded, and he returned to his previous cold and indifferent demeanor.

One day into his journey north, Ji Yuan used his Flying Sword to carve out a Cave Mansion in the mountains, hiding within.

He hadn’t forgotten that ever since he killed the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren, a Golden Core Cultivator, he had another building to upgrade.

[Meditation Room].

He remembered being troubled for a long time when he first saw the upgrade conditions for a Level 2 Meditation Room, wondering how a Foundation Establishment could kill a Golden Core.

Back then, he figured, to succeed, he’d need at least to reach the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

Or perhaps resort to his final plan, to have Hua Yaoyue heavily injure a Golden Core Zhenren of the Demon Dao, leaving him to deliver the final blow.

After all, the panel just said that a Foundation Establishment defeating a Golden Core was enough.

It didn’t specify how to do it.

But unexpectedly, it was achieved with a single strike using the Spiritual Energy Cannon... thanks to Dong Qian for helping to trap the Celestial Silkworm Zhenren.

Otherwise, even with the Spiritual Energy Cannon, Ji Yuan couldn’t have used it.

Just like when facing Jiang Hong, without certainty of taking him down in one blow, Ji Yuan wouldn’t bring it out.

Now it was all good.

Ji Yuan carved out a small stone chamber within the Cave Mansion.

The Meditation Room didn’t need an array setup like the Array Room; it could be activated with just a tag.

So when Ji Yuan stuck a tag labeled "Meditation Room" on the stone wall, it naturally became functional.

Ji Yuan began cultivation, calming his mind before starting Divine Soul Techniques.

[Nine Towers Soul Suppressing Scripture].

As the technique activated, the Soul Suppressing Bell within his Divine Sea emitted a faint golden glow, bringing harmony within.

It felt like he was in warm water.

He even wished it could continue forever.

After a while, Ji Yuan awoke from meditation, choosing to level up.

Letters slightly shifted above, as if Taoist symbols appeared on the surrounding walls.

The panel refreshed.

But before he could examine the panel, he noticed those fleeting Taoist symbols seemed etched into his soul.

Consequently, the Soul Suppressing Bell around his Divine Soul burst into intense golden light.

Like an overdose, making Ji Yuan’s eyes flash with gold.

"Is this..."

Is there really a leveling reward?

After a while, the Taoist symbols vanished from the stone walls, and his Divine Soul calmed down.

The Soul Suppressing Bell, initially dim, now radiated bright gold.

Ji Yuan could hardly believe, so he paused the technique, and after the bell settled, he ran the [Nine Towers Soul Suppressing Scripture] again.

The bell once more emitted golden light.

The glow’s intensity matched before exactly!

It really works!

Confirming his thoughts, Ji Yuan was overjoyed.

Thus, though lacking a way to test it—mainly because few in Cangluo Continent practiced Divine Soul Techniques.

As Hua Yaoyue mentioned, it’s said that only Shangxi in Cangluo Continent knows Soul Attacking Techniques.

Yet instinct told Ji Yuan, the Soul Suppressing Bell’s defensive strength increased significantly.

A good thing indeed, this was the call he had been waiting for.

If he had leveled up in that tomb, he’d never have gained this fortune.

He then called up the panel to view the Level 3 Meditation Room’s Spirit Effect and upgrade conditions.

[Meditation Room: lv3 (upgrade unavailable)]

[Spirit Effect: Meditation refines Divine Soul, increasing current realm’s Divine Sense by 500%.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Golden Core Stage kills 1 Nascent Soul Cultivator. (Not fulfilled)]

Ji Yuan glanced over, only to find it expected.

Level 1 to 2, Level 2 to 3, all demand surpassing a major realm to defeat an enemy.

Thus, before the Golden Core Stage, there’s no need to consider upgrading the Meditation Room.

As for Spirit Effect, it indeed grows increasingly potent.

Level 1 adds 80%, Level 2 now adds 200%, and Level 3 can increase by 500%, with such effects, it’s capable of crushing Divine Sense within the same realm, even crossing realms, right?
