The item is not bad, it's just a pity it can only be used in the form of a demon cultivator.

Ji Yuan took off the ring, and the aura enveloping him disappeared immediately, returning him to his ordinary appearance.

"I don't know how strong the barrier effect is once activated; a Foundation Establishment Cultivator probably won't notice it, but what about a Golden Core Cultivator?"

Ji Yuan thought of finding an opportunity for Hua Yaoyue to take a look, claiming he accidentally obtained a ring that can block detection.

Ji Yuan didn't want to expose the matters of the Yin Ghost Sect.

Of course, he could also ask Hua Yaoyue if she has any Divine Soul Techniques; if she doesn't... oh, Master, you might want to learn this Divine Soul Technique too, right?

If you do, call me Master, and I'll teach it to you.

After reveling in these fantasies for a while, Ji Yuan put away the ring and then took out two pieces of Ghostglow Locustwood.

They weighed a total of only four pounds; it's enough, but Ji Yuan hasn't forgotten that the Wailing Wanderer owes him a pound... if he died at the hands of the Blood Demon, then it's as if the dead's account is wiped clean.

People die, debts are canceled.

But if he didn't die at the hands of the Blood Demon, then sorry, once I become strong, I'm definitely coming to get an explanation!

With previous experiences, Ji Yuan naturally knows how big a [Chicken Cage] should be.

Using a flying sword to cut, within moments, the Ghostglow Locustwood was split into uniformly sized planks, which he then assembled into a brand new [Chicken Cage] right before him.

Ji Yuan looked at the line of words floating above the [Chicken Cage] and openly sighed in relief.

[Chicken Cage: lv2 (Upgradeable)]

"Nice!"

Ji Yuan clenched his fists and couldn't help but shout softly.

He went to great lengths to upgrade it, even risking his life in the Ghost Seeking Cave. Only he knows the hardships involved.

But fortunately, the rewards are gratifying.

The Chicken Cage could be upgraded, and he also obtained a valuable Divine Soul Technique.

Then Ji Yuan took out 50 mid-grade Spirit Stones and threw them into the [Chicken Cage].

A thought... upgrade!

The words above the [Chicken Cage] refreshed.

Immediately, the small chicken cage was filled with a dazzling glow, shimmering continuously.

This time Ji Yuan did not hastily turn off the building effect.

He just watched as the final radiant glow gathered into a single... Spirit Egg.

A tri-colored Spirit Egg of red, yellow, and blue.

Ji Yuan didn't know why it was these three colors; he only noticed it felt slightly warm in his hand.

Just like... freshly laid from a "cluck," with a faint indiscernible fragrance.

Holding the Spirit Egg in his hand, Ji Yuan was momentarily lost in thought.

Because he recalled when he first crossed over, at the lakeside cabin in Zengtou City, he was just a Qi Cultivation Stage practitioner.

It was these Spirit Eggs that gradually increased his cultivation back then.

One could say, without the Spirit Eggs produced by the [Chicken Cage] at that time,

his path to immortality would not have been so smooth.

"Who would've thought I'd still rely on Spirit Eggs to get by now, just like during the Qi Cultivation Stage, even after reaching Foundation Establishment."

Ji Yuan chuckled, feeling some emotion in his heart.

The cultivation path is challenging.

As before, Ji Yuan casually cracked the Spirit Egg, pouring the Spirit Liquid straight into his mouth.

He even used the eggshell by crushing it to powder and swallowing it.

As the Spirit Liquid entered his stomach, it was immediately refined.

Ji Yuan could distinctly feel a surge of pure Spiritual Qi entering his Dantian.

Once it reached the Dantian, this Spiritual Qi spread out, overlaying the Spirit Liquid within.

Soon, the Spirit Liquid in his Dantian seemed to boil, and through inner vision, Ji Yuan could see some Spiritual Qi evaporating.

After a while.

The total amount of Spiritual Qi in Ji Yuan's Dantian remained unchanged, but the space it occupied lessened slightly.

Very slightly so.

Though slight, it's definitely there.

If this continues over the years, the results are bound to be significant... then, with the same Dantian, while others can store ten portions of Spiritual Qi, I could store twelve.

The additional two portions could become the key to victory!

After consuming the Spirit Egg, Ji Yuan collected the remaining Ghostglow Locustwood.

With the [Chicken Cage] upgraded entirely, its effects could work on other chicken cages, without necessarily needing them to be made of Ghostglow Locustwood.

So these good materials should be kept for later, whether for cultivating Secret Techniques or as repayment, it's beneficial.

With everything in order, Ji Yuan then summoned the panel.

[Chicken Cage: lv4 (Not Upgradeable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Quality and yield of Spiritual Soil from the chicken cage increased (1 tael per day); a small chance for Spiritual Birds placed inside to mutate (highest rank of Spiritual Bird cannot exceed Tier Four).]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Four-colored Spirit Eggs): One four-colored Spirit Egg produced monthly that can purify Spiritual Power and enhance Golden Core quality.]

[Upgrade Conditions: Cultivation reaches Golden Core Realm; Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×1500; Chicken Cage produced with Soul-Eroding Ghost Willow. (Not achieved)]

When Ji Yuan inspected the panel, the first thing he noticed was Spirit Effect 2.

These tri-colored Spirit Eggs indicated there's even a four-colored variant.

Moreover, the tri-colored ones can enhance the Spiritual Qi reserve at the Foundation Establishment Stage, so the four-colored ones would enhance the reserve at the Golden Core Stage... improving the Golden Core's quality, could it mean Golden Cores have ranks?

Ji Yuan had never heard of such a thing.

It seems he could also inquire about this at Hua Yaoyue's someday.
