Chapter 800: Chapter 333: Spirit Effect of Level 4 [Chaotic Burial Mound]

"By the way, the Body Cultivation path is similar; the produces daily, so it can’t be wasted. I might as well ask Yu Yuan if there are any suitable places for body refinement nearby."

"If I could obtain their tribe’s tattoo technique, that would be even better."

Having arranged the upcoming cultivation matters, Ji Yuan spent three full days in the , indulged by Tu Yue’s care and completely sleeping.

Three days later.

When he stepped out from his cave mansion wearing the Spirit Devouring Armor, he noticed that the merfolk now looked at him somewhat... fervently.

Previously curious, now it seemed they couldn’t wait to snatch him away to their homes.

Especially the female merfolk, their gazes made Ji Yuan completely overwhelmed.

Some were even considering approaching to chatter away with him.

Ji Yuan seized the opportunity, slipped away, and went to Yu Yuan’s cave mansion.

Compared to several days ago, the current chief of the merfolk tribe appeared vibrant, as if he had become younger by a few years.

With a bit of thought, Ji Yuan could guess the situation.

The merfolk tribe’s survival in the perilous Fallen Immortal Gully must have relied on the strong male merfolk.

Just like the ones Ji Yuan encountered outside last time, the merfolk rely on them to hunt sea beasts for food.

Yu Yuan, when young, must have been extremely strong; otherwise, he couldn’t have held the chief position.

But now he’s old, not as capable anymore.

Or else Linhu wouldn’t dare to openly argue with him last time.

Currently, Linhu is the foremost warrior of the merfolk tribe, and barring any accidents, he’s practically the sure next chief.

This resulted in Yu Yuan’s weakened command over the merfolk.

However!

Ji Yuan arrived and provided him with many good things and equipment.

With these resources in the hands of a chief like Yu Yuan, regaining control of the tribe was an inevitable affair.

Thus, Yu Yuan greeted Ji Yuan’s visit today with tearful enthusiasm.

He even took the initiative to invite Ji Yuan to the main seat, urging him to sit down in comfort.

"May I ask if the esteemed predecessor has any business? By the way, the welcome banquet our tribe prepared for you hasn’t been held yet. When would you be free for it?"

Yu Yuan’s reference of "comrade" had turned into "esteemed predecessor."

This made Ji Yuan feel even more that... Spirit Stones are indeed precious!

Following this, Ji Yuan obtained the Sea Map to the Immortal Sect from Yu Yuan.

Furthermore, Yu Yuan repeatedly expressed that when Ji Yuan wished to go, he would arrange experienced merfolk hunters to personally escort him.

As for places suitable for body refinement, Yu Yuan claimed there were none.

But from his reaction, it didn’t seem like there were none; instead, it seemed there was some unspeakable reason.

Ji Yuan didn’t press further, just like with the tattoo technique issue.

When he emerged from Yu Yuan’s, he found many female merfolk gathered at the entrance, along with a strange scent filling the seawater.

Ji Yuan didn’t dare linger and immediately returned to his own cave mansion.

During the following period, he experienced the enthusiasm of the merfolk tribe.

Initially, some female merfolk would just stroll around his doorstep, but days later, they were no longer satisfied with that.

They began bringing Ji Yuan gifts; some of the more timid ones only offered beautiful stones or coral pearls.

Yet some bold ones... brought shells.

At first, Ji Yuan thought these shells were just like pearls, only aesthetically pleasing.

Until his Divine Sense tracked several female merfolk and discovered those shells were taken from their chests... he realized something was off.

These were no ordinary shells.

They were clearly breast accessories!

After a while, when Ji Yuan emerged from his cultivation state, he found some female merfolk already showcasing their physique’s beauty outside his cave mansion.

Some came individually.

Some... even came with their sisters!

Are all merfolk this open?

Ji Yuan’s Divine Sense investigated and indeed found some merfolk practiced polygyny.

Hmm... Ji Yuan was not yet settled and had no intention of staying in the merfolk tribe for long.

So regarding Yu Yuan’s subtle hints to indulge and keep him in the tribe, he didn’t engage.

Instead, he directly addressed the matter with Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan quickly instructed the female merfolk to leave, fearing they’d offend Ji Yuan.

And then there was Linhu, who after a brief retreat and breakthrough, came straight to Ji Yuan’s cave mansion, chattering on and even bowing repeatedly.

For this merfolk wanting to become a disciple, Ji Yuan had Yu Yuan relay a message.

He told him not to bother him, and when free, he would guide him, but if he stayed at the door persistently, there’d be no talk of guidance.

Linhu, after receiving the message, quickly ran off.

Ji Yuan’s life returned to tranquility.

...

On this day.

Ji Yuan examined the Sea Map in his hand which he had already reviewed countless times.

"Heading east from here, after ten days of travel, more or less you’ll reach the territory of that Tier Four Sea Beast, but these ten days are walking pace for merfolk, while for that Tier Four Sea Beast, it might only take a moment to arrive."

"The merfolk tribe settled here perhaps not without considering the protection offered by this Tier Four Sea Beast."
