Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 11: Eradicating Future Troubles, Zhou Sui Fakes His Death?!

Outside Misty Cloud City, in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At this moment, Liu Dong, along with three other Independent Cultivators, appeared deep within the mountains. They were all cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining, possessing a certain level of self-defense ability in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

"Are you sure you found a hundred-year-old spirit herb called Golden Thorn Grass?"

Liu Dong couldn't help but ask.

"Of course."

A middle-aged cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks nodded. "I would never deceive you all. We have been good friends for many years. Previously, I was being chased by the demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and accidentally stumbled upon a valley, where I found that hundred-year-old spirit herb."

Unfortunately, that hundred-year-old spirit herb is guarded by several first-level demonic beasts. I am no match for them and cannot approach it at all. That's why I invited you all to come along.

I believe you all know the value of a hundred-year-old spirit herb. Even a single one is worth thousands of low-grade spirit stones. If we also include the corpses of several demonic beasts, we can easily harvest two to three thousand low-grade spirit stones this time. Even if we divide it among the four of us, we will still get a substantial share."

He swore to the heavens that everything he said was true and that there was not a single lie.

"That's right. If this is true, then you will definitely get your share of the harvest."

Hearing this, Liu Dong immediately felt relieved. The other party was also a Fellow Daoist he had known for many years. Although he was not very reliable in his daily actions, at least he wouldn't lie.

Moreover, they knew each other inside out, so he believed the other party wouldn't deceive him.

He thought that if they succeeded this time, he would earn hundreds of low-grade spirit stones. With that, he could purchase pills to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

This was related to his path of Foundation Building and could not be taken lightly.

However, at this moment, he also thought of Zhou Sui, the son of his former good friend. His face immediately darkened.

If it weren't for this pretty boy getting involved with a female cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, that house would have been his long ago.

By then, he could have peacefully cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining in Misty Cloud City without needing to venture outside the city.

It had been almost a month now. Zhou Sui should have already been taken care of by that Black Widow, right?

"Oh no, enemy attack!"

Suddenly, while Liu Dong was still lost in his thoughts, his whole body trembled, his hair stood on end, and he felt a deadly threat approaching. This was the instinct of an Independent Cultivator.

From the corner of his eye, he saw four silver sword lights appearing in the distance, incredibly fast and containing terrifying Geng Metal power, capable of destroying anything.

At that moment, he felt a fatal crisis and tried to dodge.

Unfortunately, the sword light was too fast, even for his cultivation level, he couldn't evade it.

Boom~~~

In an instant, his head was pierced by the sword light, and his entire head shattered like a watermelon, splattering blood everywhere. He died without even being able to let out a scream.

Even before his death, Liu Dong didn't see who had killed him.

But at the moment of his death, Liu Dong deeply regretted it. If he had known that it was so dangerous outside the city, he would never have come out, even if he were beaten to death.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

Not only Liu Dong, but the other three Independent Cultivators also met the same fate. They were all killed instantly by a single sword, falling to the ground and dying.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!

After a short while, three graceful figures emerged from the jungle. They were Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan.

"Sister, it's been a month since I last saw you make a move. I haven't even seen you cultivate. How come your sword aura is even more powerful than before? Four cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining were killed with a single sword. You're truly amazing."

Mu Ziyan looked at Ji Bingyu with great admiration.

"Indeed, the power of this sword vaguely resembles that of a Foundation Building cultivator."

Xia Jingyan was also very surprised. She had seen Qi Refining stage sword cultivators before, but someone as terrifying as Ji Bingyu was a first.

Previously, Ji Bingyu was within a reasonable range, but now, compared to a month ago, she had become more than twice as powerful.

The problem was that this woman was supposed to be indulging in pleasure every night. How could she have become so much stronger in just a month?

Xia Jingyan was filled with doubts.

"I'm not sure either. Ever since I've been with my husband, I've felt that my spiritual power has become much stronger, to the point where I have developed the spiritual consciousness of a Foundation Building cultivator."

Ji Bingyu smiled faintly. "It's precisely because of this that my sword cultivation seems to have made rapid progress. I have already reached the realm of sensing the autumn wind before it stirs the cicadas."

At this moment, she also recalled what had happened in the past month, her pretty face turning red.

It was just a short time apart, yet it seemed like she had missed her husband for three autumns.

But the main purpose of her coming out this time was to deal with Liu Dong, the scoundrel who had once plotted against her husband. If she didn't get rid of him, she would have trouble sleeping at night.

"There's still this kind of thing?!" Xia Jingyan was extremely surprised. Could dual cultivation really allow one's cultivation to progress so quickly? Or was there something special about that man that allowed the cultivation of female cultivators to improve?

If it was the latter, then this man's value was not ordinary.

She fell into deep contemplation.

"Alright, let's continue deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and gather the spiritual herbs inside, then we'll return to Misty Cloud City." Ji Bingyu couldn't wait to return to Misty Cloud City. Even if they were just apart for a short time, she felt like she was suffering from lovesickness and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright."

Xia Jingyan was very helpless. She quickly took the storage bags left behind by Liu Dong and the other cultivators. As for their corpses, nearby demonic beasts would soon come to devour them.

For the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, such killings were already commonplace and no one would take it seriously.

...

On the other hand, Zhou Sui also started going out.

After all, he had been staying at home for a month, and it could be considered a period of calm before action. Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to go to nearby shops to find materials for refining Gu worms.

"Zhou Sui, you're not dead yet?"

Just as Zhou Sui had just stepped out of the house, a middle-aged cultivator from the neighboring house couldn't help but exclaim. His name was Zhang Cheng, a first-grade lower-tier alchemist at the sixth level of Qi Refining, forty-five years old. He had been a neighbor of the Zhou family for many years.

"Dead? Why would I be dead?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui twitched his mouth and looked at the other person with a speechless expression.

"Cough cough, it's a misunderstanding. I thought you hadn't gone out for a month, so I wondered if something had happened to you."

Zhang Cheng's face was very embarrassed, and he quickly tried to cover it up.

After all, he thought that if Zhou Sui hadn't appeared for such a long time, he must have been taken advantage of by that black widow and turned into a dried corpse. It had been a month since he last appeared, and the body would have been cold by now.

So when he saw Zhou Sui suddenly going out, he thought Zhou Sui was faking his death, or even turned into a vengeful spirit, wanting to seek revenge on that black widow.

Who could have expected that this kid was still full of life, it was truly unbelievable.
