Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 201: Mid-stage Promotion to Foundation Building

In just a breath's time, the originally incurable poison was completely devoured by the Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu, leaving no trace behind.

"This strange insect is too powerful."

"Remember, this is the blood mist poison created by demons."

"It is rumored that once this blood mist poison invades the body, it paralyzes the nerves and gradually causes the loss of the five senses."

"At the same time, the mana in the body will be frozen, the meridians blocked, and the person will be completely immobile like a corpse."

"Then, the person poisoned will be captured by demons and have their life essence devoured."

"This is an incurable poison. How could it be resolved so easily?"

Shen Biqian was very surprised, her beautiful eyes showing an incredulous expression.

To be honest, as a Rank Three alchemist, there was no one who knew the condition of her body better than herself.

After all, alchemists, to some extent, could be considered the doctors of cultivators.

Not only could they refine various pills to enhance cultivation, but they could also refine antidotes and medicines to treat diseases. They were the doctors of the cultivation world.

So when she was poisoned, she had tried various detoxification pills, but to no avail.

She thought she was doomed, but instinctively wandered around while losing consciousness.

Unexpectedly, she unintentionally arrived at the Immortal Mist Sect and happened to be found by Zhou Sui, who then happened to resolve the fatal poison on her body.

To some extent, this was simply the arrangement of fate.

"It's just a small matter."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly.

After devouring the blood mist poison, the Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu seemed to be very excited.

Its body emitted a faint golden light, appearing extremely eerie, as if a red poisonous line had appeared on its body.

This was a characteristic of the Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu. After devouring a poison, a poisonous line would appear on its body.

The more poisons it devoured, the more lines would appear.

Obviously, this was quite beneficial for a Rank Three poison, like the blood mist poison.

At this moment, the toxins in the Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu's body continued to accumulate and increase, and its cultivation was also rapidly improving.

It seemed that it was not far from reaching the Rank Two Middle Grade realm.

After all, for it, the way to improve cultivation was simple: devouring various poisons and toxins.

"By the way, Sect Master Shen."

"Now that the fatal poison on your body has been resolved, why don't you come back to the Immortal Mist Sect with me and recuperate for a while?"

"After all, even if the fatal poison is resolved, the body doesn't recover so quickly."

Zhou Sui invited.

He looked at Shen Biqian with great sincerity.

What?!

Looking at this innocent gaze, even Shen Biqian, who had lived for over two hundred years and had always been fearless, couldn't help but blush and feel her heart pounding, her body temperature rising.

Oh my god, what kind of feeling is this? Why is my heart beating so intensely?

Even the Extreme Yin Spirit Fire inside her body was cheering and jumping.

Could it be that I desire this man in front of me?

The problem is, this is too ridiculous.

She is a dignified Gold Core Perfected Being. How could she have such feelings for a Foundation Building male cultivator?

Although this man is indeed extremely handsome and charming.

But she is the renowned Rank Three Pill Master, Shen Biqian, and the esteemed Sect Master of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, known throughout the world.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, since you have helped me detoxify..."

"Why not go all the way and help others as well?"

Shen Biqian's beautiful eyes burned with intensity as she looked at Zhou Sui, as if a flame was brewing deep within her pupils.

She knew that if she let this man return to the Immortal Mist Sect, she would probably never have such a good opportunity again.

So she wouldn't let this man leave so quickly.

"Oh, I wonder what Sect Master Shen wants me to help with?"

Zhou Sui curiously asked, instinctively sensing that something was not right. With his many years of experience, he knew that this woman in front of him was like a wolf, extremely fierce.

"The Extreme Yin Spirit Fire in my body is restless."

"Help me extinguish the fire."

Shen Biqian giggled and pounced on him.

...

The night passed.

Zhou Sui had a satisfied expression on his face. What happened last night was self-evident. After all, it wasn't the first time, and the charm of a Gold Core female cultivator was extraordinary.

He had put in so much effort, but it was all worth it.

Obtaining the power of Yin within the Gold Core female cultivator's body had greatly accelerated his cultivation.

Originally, his cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Building.

Now, with the assistance of this power, there were basically no bottlenecks, and he could easily break through.

It was like a natural progression.

Normally, for a cultivator at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Building, breaking through the bottleneck to the mid stage of Foundation Building would take at least a dozen years of grinding, or even twenty to thirty years.

Some cultivators were even trapped for hundreds of years without being able to break through.

But Zhou Sui was different. He cultivated the powerful Divine Gu Sutra, which had a solid foundation. Coupled with the help of the Gold Core female cultivator, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

So he smoothly broke through, without much obstruction.

Boom...

At this moment, Zhou Sui used his divine sense to perceive the situation within his body.

He saw that his dantian and qi sea had expanded once again, containing a hundred drops of dark golden liquid mana, forming a deep pool, exuding a powerful aura.

"Not bad, not bad. When I was at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Building, I only had fifty drops of liquid mana. After advancing to the mid stage of Foundation Building, I instantly reached a hundred drops, doubling my mana."

"No wonder there is such a huge difference between the early stage and mid stage of Foundation Building. Just the total amount of mana alone is not on the same level. With just mana, I can easily crush cultivators at the early stage of Foundation Building, not to mention the control of spiritual energy and various techniques."

"Plus, I now have a total of nine Gu worms, each with a hundred drops of liquid mana. This means my mana is nine times that of an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator. It's truly exaggerated."

"So this is the power of the Divine Gu Sutra? It may not seem like much in the early stages, but the more you advance, the more terrifying this cultivation method becomes."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in admiration.

He sensed the vast mana within his body, as if every movement he made contained immense power.

After advancing to the mid stage of Foundation Building, his mana had doubled.

Now he understood the main cultivation method of Foundation Building cultivators.

That is, to increase the liquid mana within the dantian and qi sea. If they break through the bottleneck, the dantian and qi sea will further expand, allowing for more mana to be contained.

But if the dantian and qi sea cannot expand, then they will be trapped at this stage, forming a permanent bottleneck.

This is why many early stage Foundation Building cultivators are unable to break through and reach the mid stage of Foundation Building.

Due to the flaws in their cultivation methods and unstable foundations, their dantian and qi sea cannot expand, and they can only contain a maximum of fifty drops of liquid mana.

If they forcefully break through, it will also damage their dantian, causing irreparable losses.

Of course, there are methods to solve this situation in the cultivation world.

That would be the Rank Two breakthrough pill.

If one were to take this kind of pill, it would help expand the dantian of a Foundation Building cultivator, forcefully assisting them in breaking through the bottleneck of the early stage of Foundation Building and advancing to the mid stage of Foundation Building.

The problem is, this kind of pill is extremely rare and exceptionally precious.

Even with spirit stones, it may not be possible to buy it.

Moreover, taking this kind of pill also has serious side effects. Due to forcibly expanding the dantian, it is not the normal gradual expansion that Foundation Building cultivators go through over a long period of time. This will cause damage to the dantian and qi sea.

In this case, there is basically no hope of advancing to the late stage of Foundation Building.

Of course, for those Foundation Building cultivators with mediocre aptitude, reaching the mid stage of Foundation Building is already good enough.

As for the realm of the late stage of Foundation Building, they wouldn't even think about it.

"Wait, my divine sense has actually received such a huge improvement."

"It's already comparable to the early stage of Gold Core, right?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui was suddenly shocked.

After advancing to the mid stage of Foundation Building, not only did his mana greatly improve, but the power of his divine sense also experienced astonishing growth.

Previously, his divine sense range was only about 250 zhang.

But now, it has already increased to about 800 zhang.

It should be noted that even for cultivators who have just advanced to the early stage of Gold Core, the range of their divine sense is only about 500 zhang.

However, his divine sense power has already surpassed those cultivators who have just advanced to Gold Core.

Whoosh~~~

An invisible power of divine sense instantly spread out, covering a radius of 800 zhang.

Everything within this range was clearly perceived by him, without missing any details.

Flying birds in the sky, crawling ants on the ground, fish swimming in the river, chirping cicadas, and so on, all appeared vividly in his divine sense.

Of course, thanks to the growth of his divine sense power.

His ability to perceive with his mind's eye has become even more terrifying, with a range ten times that of his divine sense power.

This is a constant value.

So now, his mind's eye power can cover an area of eight thousand zhang.

This is even more terrifying data. Even the divine sense exploration range of a cultivator at the early stage of Nascent Soul, or even the early stage of Gold Core, cannot compare to the perception of his mind's eye.

"The Seven Orifice Exquisite Book is indeed terrifying."

"Although the cultivation difficulty is extremely high, once successful, the abilities it gives birth to are like cheats."

"This is by no means an ordinary technique. It can already be considered a divine art."

Zhou Sui exclaimed in admiration, becoming more and more aware of the horror of the Seven Orifice Exquisite Book.

The Lu Family ancestor who obtained this technique in the past must have had a great opportunity.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient aptitude, even if he obtained this opportunity, he couldn't advance any further.

The late stage of Foundation Building was the limit for that Lu Family ancestor, and it was impossible to break through anymore.

But he was different. With the help of the Book Gu, he could go further.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui opened his virtual panel to see how his cultivation level was now.

After all, there is nothing more intuitive than the data on the virtual panel.

[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation Level: Mid stage of Foundation Building (1% progress), Lifespan: 32 (1200) years]

[Talent: Sixth Grade Spirit Root (90%)]

[Sword Dao: Rank Two High Grade (10%)]

[Rune: Rank Two Lower Grade (50%)]

[Formation: Rank Two Low Grade (50%)]

[Alchemist: Rank Two Middle Grade (95%)]

[Illusion Demon Transformation Technique: Minor Achievement (90%)]

[Five Elements Pill Refining Technique: Great Achievement (85%)]

[Seven Orifice Exquisite Book: Insight, Perception, Communication (20%)]

[Fireball Technique: Grandmaster (80%), Wind Blade Technique: Proficient, Golden Light Technique: Proficient, Ice Magic Technique: Proficient, Spring Rain Technique: Proficient, Thunder Summoning Technique: Proficient...]

[Infatuation Gu: Rank Three Middle Grade, Clone Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade, Wine Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade, Gold Devouring Worm: Rank Two Middle Grade, Book Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade, Dream Soul Gu: Rank Two High Grade, Dragon Elephant Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade, Golden Light Myriad Poison Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade, Teleportation Gu: Rank Two Middle Grade.]

"My lifespan has actually reached 1,200 years, an increase of 200 years in lifespan?"

"Indeed, the advancement in cultivation, even if it's just a small advancement, can increase one's lifespan."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, feeling very delighted.

This is the joy of cultivating immortality, seeing one's lifespan constantly increasing, constantly surpassing ordinary people.

It is simply incomparable to other Body Refining cultivators.

"Have the ranks of the nine Gu worms also increased?"

"It seems that the advancement of the host's cultivation also collectively promotes the advancement of the Gu worms."

Zhou Sui touched his chin.

He sensed that the nine Gu worms on his body had all advanced by one small rank without any prior arrangement.

Originally, they were all at the Rank Two Low Grade level, but now they have all advanced to Rank Two Middle Grade.

If they were originally at the Rank Two Middle Grade level, they have now advanced to Rank Two High Grade.

Obviously, their abilities have also greatly improved, giving birth to even more wonderful powers.

It can be said that due to the improvement in the abilities of the Gu worms, his combat power has also undergone astonishing changes.

To a certain extent, he can now easily defeat ordinary Foundation Building Late Stage cultivators.

Of course, whether or not he is invincible among Foundation Building cultivators is hard to say.

After all, there are so many geniuses in the world, and no one knows what kind of strength they possess.

But Zhou Sui is not pursuing invincibility at the same cultivation level. He only wants to constantly break through and reach higher realms.

Even if he is invincible at the Foundation Building stage, if he cannot advance to the Gold Core stage, living for over two hundred years would still be a dead end.

In the world of cultivation, realm is the most important.

Even if his combat power is insufficient, he can still suppress others with his momentum, bullying Foundation Building cultivators with his Gold Core realm, a clear downgrade.

"But the benefits of this dual cultivation are not just that."

"The Yin Essence power from the Gold Core female cultivator has not been completely consumed."

"If I completely devour this Yin Essence power, I'm afraid my cultivation will soon reach the peak of the Foundation Building Mid Stage."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also sensed a huge Yin Essence power hidden deep in his dantian, which has not been completely digested by himself.

Once completely refined, his mana will likely be further enhanced.

The reason why there are so many benefits from this Yin Essence power this time is purely because the Gold Core female cultivator, Shen Biqian, who has lived for over two hundred years, has reached the peak of the Gold Core Mid Stage, and the Gold Core mana in her body is many times stronger than Leng Yuxi's.

Coupled with the power of the Extreme Yin Spirit Fire in her body, it is like adding wings to a tiger.

So the benefits he gained this time are incredibly huge. It is probably more than consuming over twenty bottles of Wood Elemental Pills.

If there is another Gold Core female cultivator like this to assist him, he will probably soon advance to the Foundation Building Late Stage.

Who knows how many years of arduous cultivation he has saved, all thanks to a Dao companion.

A Dao companion is truly invaluable. It's no wonder that Dao companions are ranked second, there is a reason for it.
