Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Among the cities surrounding Cloud Rain Marsh, Red Leaf City is slightly more chaotic.

Ji Yuan has frequently purchased the corpses of cultivators, and most of these purchases have been in Red Leaf City. So this time, to buy a Foundation Establishment cultivator's corpse, he still came to Red Leaf City.

"Mr. Zhu."

Ji Yuan greeted the shopkeeper familiarly after arriving in a secluded alley.

The man, who was originally calculating his account, raised his head angrily upon hearing this name, intending to curse a few words.

But when he saw the person's appearance clearly, he changed to a smile.

"I was wondering why the magpies were calling this early morning, turns out Brother Qiu is coming. No wonder."

"You guessed right; I'm here to give you money again, aren't I?"

Changing face, changing breath, even letting cultivation fall back to the peak of Qi Refining, Ji Yuan sat down in front of this man.

This man's name is Zhu Ji, also a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.

Ji Yuan was able to find him by following Wang Mazi's connections.

After all, Tu Yue was bought from Wang Mazi, and a few months ago, Ji Yuan asked for his upper-level contact to purchase more corpses.

Thus, he found this man named Zhu Ji in front of him.

"Brother Qiu, what are you saying? We clearly benefit each other, how is this giving money?"

Zhu Ji pretended displeasure, but quickly pulled out a Jade Box from under the counter, smiling: "Here, I got some Spirit Tea from Medicine King Valley for you to try. Not much, though, just a taste for Brother Qiu."

To Zhu Ji, Brother Qiu Qianhai is naturally his major client.

Others come wanting one or two corpses, but this Qiu Qianhai wants dozens of them.

The quantity of corpses demanded is excessive, and he's here again... surely still wanting more.

Such a major client is naturally worth Zhu Ji's efforts to cultivate the relationship.

Ji Yuan took the Jade Box, put it in the Storage Bag without even looking.

Zhu Ji, seeing this, smiled: "How many does Brother Qiu want this time?"

"Not much this time."

Ji Yuan shook his head.

"Oh?"

Zhu Ji was first stunned, then quickly realized that a small quantity probably meant better quality.

"Peak of Qi Refining?"

Zhu Ji tentatively asked.

Ji Yuan lightly tapped the table with his finger, "A bit higher still."

"What, Brother Qiu wants Foundation Establishment material, this..."

"What, can't handle it?"

Ji Yuan pursued.

Zhu Ji straightforwardly shook his head, "Brother Qiu can tell I'm merely a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, unable to handle Foundation Establishment material, but since you want it... I can make an introduction."

This introduction would, naturally, be to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, Zhu Ji did not say directly but offered Ji Yuan a choice.

It's uncommon for Qi Cultivation Stage to find Foundation Establishment cultivators for a transaction, let alone such clandestine dealings... Ji Yuan even once suspected Zhu Ji might be a Demon Cultivator.

He also felt Zhu Ji might think he was a Demon Cultivator.

If not, they wouldn't be so close.

By this logic, the person Zhu Ji wants to introduce is likely also a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator... truly, Ji Yuan doesn't have much prejudice against Demon Cultivators.

As long as they don't offend him, he thinks everyone is alright.

As for Demon Cultivator techniques, Ji Yuan knows a few, and he came this time to enhance his own Demon Cultivator techniques.

"It could work, just the Foundation Senior..."

Ji Yuan spoke with furrowed brows, seemingly worried.

Zhu Ji immediately reassured with a laugh: "No worries for Brother Qiu, we're all businessmen, valuing integrity the most. Furthermore, our Immortal Materials Association has hierarchy; if someone dares to eat a customer, we'll eat them."

Immortal Materials Association, sounds like an organization, estimated to be a group doing this business... Ji Yuan raised his head at Zhu Ji in front of him.

No panic at meeting a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator.

Besides, this place isn't far from Water Dragon Sect, even if a Golden Core cultivator attacks, Ji Yuan could hold out until Hua Yaoyue saves him.

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Zhu."

"Hey, we're all brothers here, Brother Qiu doesn't need to be polite."

After minor tidying, Zhu Ji closed the door and led Ji Yuan out.

Initially, Ji Yuan thought this Foundation Establishment cultivator was in Red Leaf City, but later, Zhu Ji led him out of the city from the west, only then did he know this person was outside.

The two each controlled their Flying Boats, flying south for about two hours.

Finally landed at a market located by the river.

Upper River Square.

Ji Yuan silently noted its location, then Zhu Ji led him to a seemingly unremarkable yard.

Zhu Ji knocked, patterning three long two short, as if signaling a code.

Ji Yuan felt Divine Sense sweep over him, then the door opened.

"Come in."

A man's voice reached Ji Yuan's ears.

After a while.

Ji Yuan saw in this house's hall, a strangely dressed man in a purple Magic Robe, perhaps with makeup, even had glossy lips.

Demon Cultivators, damn, all proper Demon Cultivators... Ji Yuan didn't expect such bold Demon Cultivators in this market.

But on second thought, it made sense, the mountain market's highest cultivation might be only late Qi refining.

A Foundation Establishment can hide here, who would notice?

This purple-robed man sized up Ji Yuan, then focused on Zhu Ji, "One of us?"
