Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 681 - 296: The Second Contained Building [Chicken Coop lv3]

Chapter 681: Chapter 296: The Second Contained Building [Chicken Coop lv3]

Ji Yuan looked down from a high vantage point and found it was much like land-building.

Moreover, in the sky above this structure, a line of white text appeared.

[Chicken Cage: lv3]

And somehow, in a mysterious manner, he could sense that as long as chickens were raised in this [Chicken Cage], the space would become almost infinitely large, allowing for as many as desired.

But if anything else were stored... it couldn’t hold it.

The chicken coop could only be used for raising chickens.

In actuality, acquiring the [Chicken Cage] also had another benefit: the tri-colored Spirit Eggs that Ji Yuan had brought on his last outing were almost depleted.

Now it just happened to be a good supplement.

As the new structure was acquired, Ji Yuan found that the Mountain of Mind and Heart seemed much more solid, or rather, the color of the stone mountain had deepened slightly.

It was just unclear how many layers of power had increased.

He would have to find a tough-headed cultivator looking for death next time to test it out.

Then, Ji Yuan withdrew his mind from the Mountain of Mind and Heart and continued his cultivation. After enough cultivation, when it was time to replenish, he started to continuously create Celestial Thunder Seeds by hand.

This item, naturally, should be as plentiful as possible.

Next time when facing off against the Demon Dao, he could start with a Celestial Thunder Seed, catching them off guard.

The days passed, amounting to over ten.

When it was Ji Yuan’s turn to be on duty again, he happened to encounter a siege by a group of demon cultivators. The leaders were two mid-stage Core Formation demon cultivators, while nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators followed them.

This wasn’t Ji Yuan’s first experience with a demon siege.

There was no panic, of course. They just needed to use the cover of the array and keep casting techniques outside the city.

Or operate the Spiritual Energy Cannon to sweep broadly, hitting targets yielded gains.

Not to mention the Alchemy Square itself housed a peak Golden Core Ice and Fire Elder, who alone would be enough to slaughter all demon cultivators outside the city.

Even if he didn’t take action, the Tier Four Array provided defense.

So it was destined to be a futile war of attrition.

When the attrition was adequate, and the demon cultivators outside had suffered twenty to thirty casualties, they naturally retreated, eventually vanishing into the vast mountain ranges.

Although no Foundation Establishment cultivators inside the city died, several were injured.

At this time, they were taken by some Qi Cultivation cultivators to a specific place in the city to heal.

Meanwhile, some array masters went out of the city to repair the arrays, while some talisman masters reinforced the runes on the city walls.

Ji Yuan’s initially assumed role was that of an alchemist, so neither task required his help. He sat on the city wall, recovering his Spiritual Qi, while remaining alert for a counterattack from the Demon Dao.

Li Changhe appeared to have received some news, speaking as soon as he arrived without even touching the ground:

"We’ve received many reports from the market recently; incidents like this small-scale demon attacks on markets have been frequent. They’re not just attacking markets; even the Six Immortal Sects haven’t been spared."

"Since it’s ineffective, what’s their purpose?"

While speaking, Ji Yuan suddenly noticed three people walking down from the north side of the Alchemy Square. As they passed by, they exchanged a glance with him.

They appeared somewhat awkward.

They were none other than the three survivors from the demon-hunting squad.

Chang Kun from Sword Ruins, along with the Lingyue and Linglong sisters from Joy Palace.

As for the other three, the peak Foundation Establishment cultivators from Medicine King Valley, Corpse Transporting Mountain, and Spirit Control Sect, all perished.

Chang Kun survived due to his sheer strength. Being from Sword Ruins, his swordsmanship was incredibly masterful, such that claiming he could contend with a Fake Pill was not an exaggeration.

Lingyue and Linglong, on the other hand, were a pair of twin sisters connected in mind and adept in twin killing techniques.

Killing one required simultaneously killing two.

Extremely difficult to kill, hence they survived.

Upon meeting Ji Yuan again, Chang Kun nodded, while Lingyue stepped forward, cupped her hands and offered a slight apologetic smile, "Previously, regarding Zhou Sanbao’s matter, I offended Daoist Wu You; I apologize and beg forgiveness."

For the matter with Zhou Sanbao, Ji Yuan naturally wouldn’t hold a grudge against others.

Besides, as the other party offered an olive branch, Ji Yuan would certainly accept it.

"I’ve long forgotten about it. Daoist Lingyue, no need to be like this."

Ji Yuan returned the courtesy, and politely asked, "Now that the battle has just subsided, are you three heading out?"

"Not for the time being."

Chang Kun, donning a sword at his waist, pondered, "Ice and Fire Elder suggests that several Immortal Sects will send people to reinforce soon. Our demon-hunting squad will have recruits again, and we’ll talk when fully manned."

"Indeed, it’s still too dangerous outside."

Ji Yuan nodded in agreement.

The usually silent Linglong softly spoke, "I heard Daoist Wu You previously ventured into the Demon Cave alone and returned alive. With Ice and Fire Elder selecting you, your strength must be formidable. Would you consider rejoining our demon-hunting squad?"

Lingyue’s eyes brightened.

"Yes, if Brother Wu You comes, I’d certainly welcome it."

For her, there wasn’t much scheming involved.

Compared to the unattractive Zhou Sanbao, the alluring Isle Master Wuyou before her was truly remarkable, making every trip a more delightful experience.

"Indeed, with two beautiful fairies inviting, Lao Ji, why not accept?"

Li Changhe acted like an annoying friend, nudging Ji Yuan on the back with his elbow as he spoke.

"My cultivation is shallow; I wouldn’t want to be a burden."

Ji Yuan smiled, cupped his hands, and declined once more.

With no other option, the three bid farewell and left.

"Truly not going?"

After they departed, Li Changhe, leaning against the city wall, transmitted his voice to ask.

"I’m afraid of dying."

Ji Yuan spoke truthfully.

"But this time, our Water Dragon Sect must finally send someone. We can’t have the demon-hunting squad always lacking a representative from our sect."

As Li Changhe spoke, Ji Yuan turned his head northeast, only to see a flying boat from Water Dragon Sect speeding through the air, ultimately hovering over the Alchemy Square.

Ji Yuan seemed to have a thought.

"For the demon-hunting squad... there should be a candidate."
