Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 626 - 278: A Nascent Soul and a Group of Nascent Souls

Chapter 626: Chapter 278: A Nascent Soul and a Group of Nascent Souls

"Master."

He quickly called out.

But Hua Yaoyue’s gaze towards him carried a slight complexity.

... In a past life, before she began escaping, Hua Yaoyue had once sought out an old man. This man was unparalleled in divination, watching the world for thousands upon thousands of years, and she begged him for guidance.

The old man finally took out a map of mountains and seas and, with a stroke of the pen, landed it on the Cangluo Continent.

Thus, Hua Yaoyue came to this place.

In earlier years, she had searched countless times, attempting to find the road to enlightenment he spoke of.

But she never found the method.

Until now, when she took Ji Yuan as a disciple.

If the earlier Heart’s Desire Wine was a stroke of fate, then an offhand conversation now was akin to a ladder to ascend step by step.

... So, is Ji Yuan the road to enlightenment the old man spoke of?

Hua Yaoyue just looked at her closed-door disciple in front of her.

She watched for a long time until Ji Yuan himself felt uneasy, and only then did she change the topic.

"Do you know how long that old turtle has lived?"

"I do not know."

"Five thousand years ago, it was already at the Tier Four Early Stage, but it only advanced to Mid-Tier Four a few years ago."

"It outlasted all its enemies and rivals, and in the end, it was the only one that survived."

Ji Yuan nodded, "Disciple understands."

"No, you don’t understand. Wanting to be eternal and to live long is one aspect."

"And the other aspect?"

"You can disguise, you can feign weakness, but you cannot truly be weak, understand?" After Hua Yaoyue finished speaking, she turned into an escape light and returned to the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

Ji Yuan had no choice but to follow.

By the time he went up, Hua Yaoyue had already lain down and returned to her usual calm demeanor.

"Speak, what’s the matter?"

Hua Yaoyue glanced at Ji Yuan, who had followed her, and casually asked.

Ji Yuan said nothing, merely summoning eight Canglan Sword embryos from his Dantian one by one, letting them hover before Hua Yaoyue.

His master seemed to invigorate herself, even sitting up straight.

"So, you’re about to form the last sword embryo and you’re also about to break through to the Peak of Foundation Establishment? Alright, speak, where to? As your master, I’ll accompany you on this journey."

This matter did bring a bit of joy to Hua Yaoyue.

"It may still take some time, Disciple just recently gathered the eighth sword embryo."

Hua Yaoyue reclined again, "That’s not too bad; the talent isn’t too shabby."

"Then why do you seek me, just to show off?"

Ji Yuan felt somewhat awkward and said, "Uh... For this last Flying Sword, disciple wishes to go to the Fountain of Eternal Youth in the Medicine King Valley to form an Evergreen Sword."

"But this matter is quite difficult, and disciple is unsure if it will trouble Master, so I wanted to ask in advance. If Master finds it difficult, disciple is prepared to go to the Yellow Springs Lake on Blood Bone Island to form a Yellow Springs Sword."

"No problem."

Hua Yaoyue remained in her usual indifferent manner, as if nothing was of concern to her.

"For slaughter, the swords you have are enough."

Hua Yaoyue lifted her hand, pointing at Ji Yuan’s Blood Slaughter Sword, Flame Sword, Thunder Strike Sword, and Giant Que Sword.

"You do need a recovery-type Flying Sword. When you’re prepared, just come find me. As your master, I’ll take you there."

"Yes."

Ji Yuan cupped his hands in a salute, feeling more at ease.

Indeed, he deeply desired this Evergreen Sword, but he also knew that forming this Flying Sword was extremely difficult.

Because the Fountain of Eternal Youth was within the forbidden ground of the Medicine King Valley, which was guarded by their Supreme Elder with Nascent Soul Cultivation.

After all, the greatest effect of the Fountain of Eternal Youth is... longevity.

In the Cultivation Realm, anything that can extend lifespan is considered a top-tier Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

After all, why do people cultivate if not to prolong life and years?

Now, since there is something that can directly extend life, how can it not be considered a Supreme Treasure? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The reason the Medicine King Valley chose to establish their sect in that place was precisely for this Fountain of Eternal Youth... not to mention outsiders wishing to use the water transport of the fountain to gather sword embryos.

Even members of their own sect cannot get a bit closer to it.

That’s why Ji Yuan wanted to first inquire about Hua Yaoyue’s opinion.

If she found it difficult, Ji Yuan would naturally give up.

But unexpectedly, she agreed so readily, making Ji Yuan somewhat look forward to this journey to the Fountain of Eternal Youth and what kind of scene it might be.

There was nothing else.

Ji Yuan naturally retracted his Flying Sword embryos and returned to Wuyou Island to continue closed-door cultivation.

...

Meanwhile.

South of Starfall River, west of the Water Dragon Sect, and further west of the Medicine King Valley, at the foot of Shang Mountain.

Within an unknown valley.

Kong Xifeng, holding a cane, appeared out of thin air.

She turned her head to look around.

Ahead to the left, an old man dressed in a pill furnace ash-colored long robe, with the demeanor of an immortal, was playing a board game with a young man with a sword hanging at his waist.

That old man was naturally the Supreme Elder of the Medicine King Valley, known as the "Medicine Master King."

It’s unclear whether his surname is Yao and his name is Shi Wang, or if he considers himself the king among medicine masters.

Since he had his name, everyone has been calling him that.

And he does not refute the name of Medicine Master King.

Among the Nascent Souls in Shang Dong, if one were to discuss the power of slaughter, the strongest would naturally be the "One Sword Master" from the Sword Ruins.

But if one were to discuss who is the hardest to kill, it would be this Medicine Master King.

His restorative ability is truly unmatched.

At this moment, sitting opposite him was a sword cultivator in green, the second Nascent Soul on the Sword Ruins of Shang Mountain.

His name: Xu Sheng.

With extraordinarily high talent, after less than a hundred years of cultivation, he successfully formed his Nascent Soul, arguably the most hopeful cultivator in Cangluo Continent in a millennium to advance to Divinity Transformation.
