Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 499 - 237: Demon Dao Invasion!

Hua Yaoyue’s casual words immediately reassured Ji Yuan’s heart.

"As for the things you’re suspecting..."

Only then did Hua Yaoyue slightly turn her head, looking at her closed-door disciple, and asked, "Do you think the Shang Court can still unify this Cangluo Continent?"

"Does Master want to hear my innermost thoughts or..."

"Speak directly."

"Yes."

Ji Yuan slightly cupped his hands and then said, "Disciple thinks it can’t. But breaking the current righteous and demonic balance on the Cangluo Continent is inevitable, so disciple speculates that the future Cangluo Continent will likely become a land of chaos."

Hua Yaoyue looked at him approvingly.

"Not bad."

"Then consider this, even you can see this logic, don’t you think the Six Immortal Sects of Shang Dong and those demon paths of Shangxi can see it?"

Hua Yaoyue continued to enlighten.

The fog in Ji Yuan’s mind seemed to be cleared a bit, as if a light beam fell from outside the sky. But when he tried to disperse the fog and find that glimmer of light, he just couldn’t grasp it.

So, his brow furrowed even more deeply.

"Everyone can see clearly; the only ones who can’t are those still indulging in the prosperity of the Shang Court."

Hua Yaoyue’s words revealed the essence of the upcoming righteous and demonic war, which made Ji Yuan suddenly see the light.

Excitement and thrill flashed in his eyes, "So... so are you saying the remnants of the Shang Court are using the Six Immortal Sects and the Three Demon Sects, but in actuality, these Three Demon Sects and Six Immortal Sects are using these Shang Court remnants?"

Hua Yaoyue squinted at Ji Yuan and replied with an unrelated question:

"Do you know why I’m telling you this?"

Ji Yuan calmed down and slightly bowed, "Because disciple is disciple, and you are my most beloved master."

Hua Yaoyue: "..."

Eventually, Hua Yaoyue ignored Ji Yuan’s flattering words and instead opened her eyes to look at the wind chimes around, saying slowly, "You are smart, but this world is never short of smart people... Moreover, smart people tend to die faster because they like to be clever."

"What differentiates you from them is that you are very clear-headed."

"So do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Yuan softly replied, "Don’t take anyone for a fool."

"Especially those old monsters who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Stage and lived for hundreds or thousands of years... even if they start stupid, as long as they can live this long, they will become wise with age."

"The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Shang Court are the same. Now these Nascent Soul cultivators seem to be using each other, but the people of the Shang Court... have lived out a second life. Whether their aim is to rebuild the Shang Court or seek their own gain, no one knows."

"And besides, the interior of the Shang Court is not monolithic; everyone has their own agenda."

"Yes, disciple understands."

"Mm, go back and cultivate well. If I’m not mistaken, those demon cultivators of Shangxi won’t hold back for much longer."

"Yes."

Having received definitive news, Ji Yuan finally let go of his worry, "Disciple takes my leave."

Came worried, returned at peace.

So after returning to Hu Yue Island, Ji Yuan engaged in pleasant dual cultivation with Tu Yue, day and night, until there was no further progress in cultivation.

During this time, Ji Yuan also reminded Dong Qian to cultivate well because the righteous and demonic war would be starting soon.

Dong Qian naturally agreed.

Subsequently, Ji Yuan first returned to Wuyou Island, made some arrangements, and then went with Dong Qian to All Things Island.

There was no choice, the resources on Ji Yuan were a bit too much, keeping them was of little use, and he had to dispose of them.

So he and Dong Qian arrived first at the "Magic Herbs Shop."

Shi Xiuer was still there, but she was not surprised to see Dong Qian and Ji Yuan visiting together.

Ji Yuan was there naturally to attend to business. After tallying the Spirit Stones from previous sales, he provided quite a few goods.

During this, he noticed that the shop indeed had more items than before.

Whether they were Elixirs, Magical Artifacts, or Spiritual Artifacts... some of which were quite familiar.

Presumably obtained by Dong Qian from the Wei Family on the Ancient Battlefield.

The items Ji Yuan intended to sell this time were extensive, and the small Magic Herbs Shop couldn’t take them all, so after leaving one batch there, he went to other shops to sell many items.

Items like Spirit Grain and Spirit Wheat, Ji Yuan only sold at the Hundred Treasures Tower.

These two items, though abundant, were not valuable. Even if Ji Yuan sold them all, the gain was only 12 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

It’s not valuable, but thinking it came from farming, it wasn’t too bad.

After spending a few days selling everything, Ji Yuan and Dong Qian returned to Hu Yue Island.

The two happily cultivated together for a few more days. When Ji Yuan felt a bit indulgent, he used his immense willpower to bid farewell to Dong Qian and headed straight for Mist Island.

Upon his return, the Big Toad and the Frost Serpent had long finished their fight, both lying lifelessly in the dense forest, covered in injuries.

Ji Yuan scanned with his Divine Sense.

Two Spirit Pigs were missing, and one Tier Two Spirit Fish that had consumed the serpent’s blood was also missig... Well, no wonder they were playing dead.

Ji Yuan studied these two troublemakers carefully, only to find the injuries looked severe but were mere surface wounds, with no internal injuries at all.

"Not bad, so now you both know how to team up and fool me."

Ji Yuan clicked his tongue in admiration, then raised his hand and put the Frost Serpent into the Spirit Beast Bag.

With the Big Toad’s limited brain, it surely couldn’t understand such matters, so it must have been the Frost Serpent’s doing.
