Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 179: Harvesting 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones, refining the Wood Elemental Pill

"Oh right, there are also the storage bags of those four Foundation Building cultivators."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also took out four or five storage bags from his body, one of which belonged to a Qi Refining stage cultivator, but it was basically negligible.

He lightly scanned with his divine sense and used his spiritual perception to identify the items, instantly receiving a large amount of information into his consciousness.

Information about spirit stones, spirit medicines, Law Weapons, spiritual energy, and pills, among many other treasures, all appeared before his eyes.

"They really are a bunch of poor guys."

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes, feeling speechless.

He had originally thought that he would find some special treasures, but he didn't expect them to be just some common resources.

There was nothing that caught his eye.

But even so, the treasures in these five storage bags added up to a value of 40,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

For Foundation Building cultivators, this could be considered a considerable fortune.

With 40,000 medium-grade spirit stones, one could buy a large quantity of Rank Two pills, which could quickly enhance the cultivation of Foundation Building cultivators.

And on top of that, there was the Empty Dark Grass worth 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

It could be said that this time he earned 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones, which could be considered a windfall.

"Never mind, let's continue cultivating and improve our mana."

Zhou Sui temporarily put down these storage bags, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out a bottle of Wood Elemental Pill. He immediately swallowed one pill.

Swoosh~

He activated the Divine Gu Sutra and quickly refined the Wood Elemental Pill, transforming it into a massive amount of energy.

The energy of the Wood Elemental Pill was extremely gentle, flowing through every meridian in his body, constantly strengthening his physique.

At this moment, the mana in his body was gradually increasing.

"Too slow."

Zhou Sui felt deeply in his heart. Even with the assistance of the Rank Two pill, the process of condensing a drop of liquid mana would still take at least a month. It could be imagined how slow the process of condensing mana was.

If there was no assistance from a Rank Two pill, it would probably take half a year to condense a drop of liquid mana.

Based on his current cultivation speed, it would probably take at least a hundred years of arduous cultivation to possibly advance to the peak of Foundation Building.

It should be noted that his spiritual root had already reached the level of Sixth Grade, equivalent to an Intermediate Spirit Root.

But even so, it was as slow as a snail.

If it were a Foundation Building cultivator with a normal Sixth Grade spiritual root, it would probably be impossible to advance to the peak of Foundation Building or even reach Core Formation before their lifespan was exhausted.

They might even remain in the early stage of Foundation Building for their entire life.

"The higher the cultivation level, the more important the aptitude for cultivation becomes."

"If an Inferior Spirit Root has a stroke of luck, becoming a Foundation Building cultivator is not impossible."

"But to become a Golden Core True Immortal, that is basically wishful thinking."

"Just the speed of condensing liquid mana is enough to make Inferior Spirit Root and Intermediate Spirit Root cultivators despair."

"Only cultivators with a Superior Spirit Root can advance to the peak of Foundation Building before the age of 200."

"Only then is there hope of advancing to Golden Core."

Zhou Sui's eyes flickered as he sensed the importance of spiritual root aptitude.

Especially when cultivating to Foundation Building or even Golden Core, one year of cultivation for an Intermediate Spirit Root cultivator was only equivalent to one month for a Superior Spirit Root cultivator, the difference in efficiency was too great.

Over the years, the gap would become even more enormous.

Fortunately, he had the help of Infatuation Gu and the assistance of his Dao companion.

It probably won't be long before his spiritual root aptitude is further improved.

By then, when his spiritual root advances to the Fifth Grade, his cultivation efficiency will definitely increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui ignored this matter and continued to enter a state of bitter cultivation, digesting the medicinal power of the Wood Elemental Pill.

...

At the same time, many Foundation Building elders of the Immortal Mist Sect also gathered together.

They also heard the news that Zhou Sui was assassinated by a Foundation Building elder from the Shadow Demon Sect, and they were all shocked.

"I didn't expect the Shadow Demon Sect's Sect Master Luo Hua to have such a strong retaliatory heart. He even sent four Foundation Building elders personally to deal with the Dao companion of our Sect Master. It's really a big move."

"Unfortunately, the Shadow Demon Sect's Sect Master underestimated the love our Sect Master has for that pretty boy. He even gave him a Rank Three talisman. It's really hard for him to let that pretty boy die."

"All we can say is that this kid has indeed received the love of our Sect Master. He's really an enviable guy. If it weren't for the help of our Sect Master, this kid would probably have no hope of reaching Foundation Building in his lifetime."

"But this time, the Shadow Demon Sect lost four Foundation Building elders, greatly weakening their strength. This is a great opportunity for us to seize a large number of markets and mineral veins from the Shadow Demon Sect and make a big profit."

"To be honest, this is just a small matter. What's more important now is the sudden appearance of the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion. This is a major event that concerns our path."

Many Foundation Building elders of the Immortal Mist Sect discussed one after another.

The main reason for their gathering this time was not Zhou Sui, but the sudden appearance of the Nascent Soul Cave Mansion in the territory of the Immortal Mist Sect.

The appearance of this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion immediately attracted the attention of many Gold Core forces.

"Tsk tsk, this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion was once owned by the famous Blood Shadow Ancestor three thousand years ago. It is said that he once slaughtered many forces of that era and plundered a large number of treasures."

"No one knows how many secret treasures are inside."

"Maybe there are some Core Formation spiritual objects inside, or even Nascent Soul spiritual objects."

Sage Xue Qiyang, the master of the Reward and Punishment Hall, said softly.

"It's impossible. This is too exaggerated. If there really are Nascent Soul spiritual objects, I'm afraid even Nascent Soul forces would be attracted. Can our Immortal Mist Sect withstand it?"

Master Ma Qianjun of the Pill Peak said worriedly.

He felt that the appearance of this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion might not be a good thing, but rather a huge disaster for the Immortal Mist Sect.

After all, such an opportunity was too hot to handle.

It was something that the current Immortal Mist Sect couldn't grasp.

If there really were Nascent Soul spiritual objects in that Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, the Nascent Soul forces from outside the island would definitely flock over.

At that time, with the power of the Immortal Mist Sect, it would be impossible to resist.

A slight carelessness would lead to the destruction of the sect.

"This is just a speculation and may not be accurate."

"Moreover, it has been three thousand years. If there were no proper preservation methods, even Nascent Soul spiritual objects would have weathered away. There's no way they would still be there. Don't worry too much."

Master Chang Lei of the Golden Talisman Peak said in a deep voice.

He didn't think that there could be Nascent Soul spiritual objects in that Nascent Soul Cave Mansion.

Because even for a Nascent Soul Ancestor, it wasn't easy to find Nascent Soul spiritual objects. They were considered priceless treasures. Even the Blood Shadow Ancestor of the past might not have been able to obtain them.

"Even if there are no Nascent Soul spiritual objects, there might still be Core Formation spiritual objects."

"After all, this is the Cave Mansion of a Nascent Soul Ancestor. Who knows what treasures are inside."

"Regardless, we can't miss this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion. This is an opportunity to achieve Dao."

"A hundred years is too long. We must seize the day."

Sage Xue Qiyang clenched his fist. He would never miss this opportunity no matter what.
