Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

No big deal.

Ji Yuan pondered in the Enlightenment Room for a good half a day and found a fusion point.

The Quenching Acupoint Pearl powder should be added during the final pill formation so that the loss of the acupoint pearl is minimized, and it won't impact the original properties of the Qi Blood Pill.

If it's added too early, the medicinal properties will clash, as there's nothing in the main medicine that matches the power of the Quenching Acupoint Pearl.

This way, the pill won't be able to form.

Ji Yuan even thought of rolling the completed Qi Blood Pill with a layer of Quenching Acupoint Pearl powder.

But that would be a bit too obvious.

"I still have...78 Quenching Acupoint Pearls. Giving too many at once wouldn't be good. I'll start with 10 this first time, and gradually add more later, saying that the pill-making process is difficult and requires many precious herbs."

"Hmm...Isle Master Tie Chui will surely offer Spirit Stones. Well, if he gives them, I'll take them. If I don't, that guy Tie Chui won't feel at ease using the elixir. Moreover, as someone with decades, even centuries, of Foundation Establishment under his belt, I'm sure he's saved up quite a number of Spirit Stones."

Ji Yuan, full of imagination, crafted 10 improved Qi Blood Pills.

Over a month later, when Ji Yuan was returning to Wan You Island, he detoured to Hammer Island.

Unexpectedly, he found that Isle Master Tie Chui was out...

It took another ten days before the traveling Isle Master Tie Chui returned.

Ji Yuan came to the island again and met him.

"Damn, some of the younger family members keep causing trouble for me. It's truly frustrating, having to wipe their asses at this old age."

Seeing Ji Yuan, Isle Master Tie Chui grumbled.

Stuff like this...Ji Yuan had seen plenty.

Branching out and forming one's family to aid in cultivation—it's not like Ji Yuan hadn't considered it. But knowing the situations many cultivation clans faced, he gave up on this idea.

Caring for the next generation is doable with time and oversight.

Perhaps they can become a supportive force, but too many descendants just means mixed results, unless one invests heavily and spends time nurturing them.

But that's hardly worth it.

Rather than spreading strength among others, it's better to invest all efforts in improving one's cultivation and strength.

Of course, if one were born in a Mortal Realm where resources are extremely meager and Spiritual Qi is scarce, then branching out might really be a path.

But under the current circumstances, it's unnecessary.

"They can't solve it and have to rely on you, the old patriarch."

Ji Yuan said with a smile.

Isle Master Tie Chui waved his massive hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about these troubling things."

"So, out with it, you brat. You don't come for no reason. What do you want?"

Isle Master Tie Chui sat down opposite Ji Yuan, glaring with eyes as large as bronze bells.

Ji Yuan just stared at him.

Only to realize that this elder had indeed aged a lot, with more than half of his hair turned white... Ji Yuan took out an improved Qi Blood Pill from his Storage Bag.

"Take this."

Ji Yuan didn't give much explanation and directly handed over the elixir.

"Hmm?"

Isle Master Tie Chui looked at the elixir floating in front of him, feeling hesitant was inevitable. When someone suddenly hands you an elixir to consume...what if it's poison?

But since it's Ji Yuan...Isle Master Tie Chui, after a bit of hesitation, decided to trust him.

He picked it up and swallowed it.

"What the... Oh dear!"

As the elixir entered his stomach, it instantly dissolved, and the pure blood qi medicinal power spread within.

With his years of experience, Isle Master Tie Chui didn't need a prompt, immediately channeling the blood qi to pour into the acupoints that had yet to open.

After about half an incense stick's time.

Accompanied by a muffled groan, the qi and blood in Isle Master Tie Chui's body suddenly surged, even becoming a bit fuller.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.

"You brat, where did you get this gem of a thing?!"

Isle Master Tie Chui's voice betrayed his delight, "That troublesome acupoint had trapped me for years, and today, with the help of your elixir, it finally opened, easing my mind's burden."

Ji Yuan just looked at him without saying a word.

"You..."

Isle Master Tie Chui wanted to ask further.

Ji Yuan suddenly released the restraint on his qi and blood, and in an instant, a surge of overwhelming blood qi erupted from him, with visible trails swirling around him.

Isle Master Tie Chui, seeing this, was shocked enough to leap up, looking at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"Elder Tie Chui, I feel like I could hammer you to death with one hand now, what should I do?"

Ji Yuan grinned, thoroughly enjoying Isle Master Tie Chui's bewildered expression.

"You... you've also achieved Body Foundation Establishment?"

When Isle Master Tie Chui asked this, even he lacked confidence.

Body Foundation Establishment.

Wasn't that only the stuff of legends? How could it be right before him?!

Ji Yuan withdrew his blood qi, reverting to his plain appearance, and then took out another Jade Bottle, containing nine round elixirs.

"Nine remain, enough to open nine of your acupoints. Later on, I'll find a way to make a few more, and then you'll definitely experience Body Foundation Establishment."

"You... I... you..."

Isle Master Tie Chui sat back down, staring at the bottle of elixirs on the table.

There was a time when achieving Body Foundation Establishment was only a dream. Now that the opportunity was within reach, he found himself hesitating.
