Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 627 - 278: One Nascent Soul and a Group of Nascent Souls

Chapter 627: Chapter 278: One Nascent Soul and a Group of Nascent Souls

They spotted the newcomer.

Pharmacist Wang and Xu Sheng both looked up and nodded towards the recently arrived Kong Xifeng.

"I thought you old hag had died long ago."

Pharmacist Wang squinted his eyes slightly and stroked his beard with a smile.

"Hah, I can take one with me before I die. Maybe I’ll take you along for some fun?"

Kong Xifeng glanced at him, sneering.

Pharmacist Wang put away his smile and shook his head, saying no more.

After dealing with each other for hundreds of years, he was well aware of Kong Xifeng’s temperament. In her younger days, she was famously hot-tempered throughout the whole Shang Dong.

Say you’d come at the third watch, and you definitely wouldn’t wait until the fifth.

Even now, if pushed, she would genuinely consider going all out, self-destructing her Nascent Soul to take someone with her at the end.

If it really comes to that, who can argue after we’re all dead?

Xu Sheng stood up, made space, and said to Kong Xifeng without expression: "Come on, Daoist Kong, I’m not interested."

Pharmacist Wang hurriedly waved his hand, collected the chessboard on the table.

"Let’s forget about it."

Kong Xifeng snorted slightly, then turned to gaze at the enchanting beautiful woman reclining on the ancient pine trunk, subtly bent over, showing off her snow-white long legs.

"At your age, dressed so flamboyantly, who are you trying to seduce?"

Kong Xifeng’s tongue remained sharp as always, she wouldn’t spare a few words to anyone she met.

The beautiful woman flipped her leg upon hearing this, jumped barefoot down from the tree.

She wore a split high red robe, the front opening revealing an endless abyss.

She didn’t speak to Kong Xifeng but turned to the green-clad Sword Cultivator resting with closed eyes nearby, covering her mouth with a charming smile:

"Just trying to seduce Brother Xu Sheng, how about a dual cultivation together? Dual cultivating would surely benefit both of us, and we could indeed be quite happy together."

Xu Sheng didn’t open his eyes, merely resting his right hand upon the sword hilt at his waist.

"Survive one stroke from my sword, and I’ll dual cultivate with you."

The "Lady of Joy" from Joy Palace rolled her eyes.

"That’s not going to work; Brother Xu Sheng’s sword is too thick and hard. If it slashes me, I’ll end up in pieces."

The Lady of Joy shook her head and said, "I’m scared."

After greeting everyone, Kong Xifeng then looked north and said, "How come those two old undead haven’t arrived yet? Are we supposed to invite them?"

"Who would dare trouble Daoist Kong for that?"

From the dense woods, a voice chuckled.

Then two figures appeared far away, arriving next moment close at hand.

The one on the left was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, wearing a snow-white Magic Robe, of medium stature, with a typical face — a man you could find ten of in any street.

Yet, he was the Supreme Elder of Spirit Control Sect, known as "Ten Spirits Ancestor," with ten Spirit Beasts under his seat.

Hundreds of years ago, one had already reached Tier Four. Nowadays, only he knew how many Tier Four Demon Beasts he had.

Beside him was an elder resembling a dried corpse, from Corpse Transporting Mountain, named "Lu Corpse."

Lu Corpse had few hairs left on his head, and his clothes were tattered; his hands were dry and thin, like eagle claws. If those present didn’t know him, they’d think he was just a hanging pole. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Kong Xifeng looked at the two, glancing them up and down without holding back.

"Lu Corpse, you old thing, you look older than me; are you about to die?"

"And Ten Spirits, the message was sent long ago; don’t know to start earlier, making everyone wait for you, truly a waste."

Ten Spirits Ancestor stroked his chin beard and chuckled: "You old hag didn’t arrive much earlier either. What are you yelling for? They might fear you, but I don’t."

"Come, let’s spar and see who fears who!"

Kong Xifeng said, gripping her cane with both hands and thrusting it to the ground.

Instantly, an invisible wave spread around. Xu Sheng, who had been resting, immediately opened his eyes, silently pressing the sword hilt, and the Lady of Joy, already airborne, floated higher.

Pharmacist Wang swiftly ascended higher.

Ultimately, Lu Corpse stepped forward, standing between the two.

"Alright, all of us are getting old; there’s no need to fight. Lady Kong, just tell us, this time gathering the Six Sects, and saying the Six Sects face imminent extinction, go ahead."

Lu Corpse stroked the few remaining whiskers on his chin, sighed.

Ten Spirits Ancestor looked at Kong Xifeng, chuckled. Eventually, a small crimson snake coiled around his shoulder slithered back into his sleeve.

Kong Xifeng withdrew her aura.

The others gathered once more.

Seeing the Six Sects assembled, Kong Xifeng cut straight to the point: "Demon Dao from Shangxi has allied with Jiyuan Continent to launch a pincer strike against Shang Dong. Who can hold them back?"

"What?!"

The seated Pharmacist Wang immediately stood up, his expression extremely unpleasant: "Jiyuan Continent... You old hag, you can’t just spout this kind of talk!"

"Hmph."

Kong Xifeng looked at him, sneering, not even bothering to respond.

The recently arrived Ten Spirits Ancestor and Lu Corpse exchanged worried glances.

"Even handling Shangxi alone is tough; now adding Jiyuan Continent... How can we stand against it?! How do we hold off?!"

Pharmacist Wang seemed genuinely frightened.

Having heard the news, he was the most agitated.

"How to withstand? You withstand it with your lives. Were you planning to defect to Shangxi?" Ten Spirits Ancestor stroked his beard and said.

"Hah, no wonder you and Kong Xifeng bickered immediately upon seeing each other."

Pharmacist Wang spoke somewhat exasperatedly.

Lu Corpse, who had been silent throughout, looked at Xu Sheng across him and asked: "Does Sword Ruins truly know nothing?"

Xu Sheng raised his head upon hearing "Sword Ruins," but did not respond. Instead, he gazed up, solemnly saying: "If you don’t come down, I’ll question my sword."

After that, a flash appeared across the sky, followed by a figure descending directly into the valley, laughing:

"Fellow Taoists, Mei Manor extends greetings."
