Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 209: Three Core Formation spiritual treasures, the wealth of Gold Core Perfected Beings

Boom boom boom~~

That blood-colored tree seemed to have sensed something. The entire Immortal Mist Island was engulfed in a red mist, and branches extended like divine spears, shooting towards Zhou Sui and the others' flying boat.

Unfortunately, Zhou Sui had already noticed this and made the flying boat speed up.

In just an instant, they had moved away from the area tens of kilometers away.

Boom boom boom~~

Those red branches couldn't reach them and could only strike the sea, creating huge splashes and terrifying vibrations.

If they were hit, it would definitely cause countless flying boats to instantly collapse, resulting in numerous casualties.

But now, it was too late for it to make a move. At this point, the flying boat had long left Immortal Mist Island.

It could only watch Zhou Sui and the others leave.

However, it didn't feel regretful. After all, its main focus was still on Immortal Mist Island.

After a short while, these branches gradually retracted, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Immortal Mist Island was surrounded by a red mist, forming an absolute domain. At this time, no one knew what had happened on the island.

The only thing that was known was that no one could escape from the island.

It was like a blood-colored demonic cave, where one could only enter but not leave.

...

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The flying boats of the Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect were fleeing frantically in any direction over the sea. They escaped for thousands of kilometers before finally stopping.

Each cultivator had a nervous expression, sweating profusely. It wasn't until they couldn't see the shadow of the Immortal Mist Sect anymore that they finally relaxed. When they were targeted by that blood-colored tree earlier, they all thought they were doomed.

Fortunately, they escaped in time; otherwise, they would undoubtedly be dead.

"That's great, we finally escaped from Immortal Mist Island."

"Damn, what kind of monster was that? How could it be so terrifying?"

"I don't know. It's simply unimaginable, unheard of."

"Thank goodness we ran fast. If we were a step slower, we would have been left on the island."

"Indeed. We must listen to the orders of the Sect Master. Only by obeying can ordinary cultivators like us have a chance to survive."

"That's true. If we had really stayed on Immortal Mist Island, we wouldn't have enough lives to die."

"Is this the calamity that the Sect Master fears?"

Many cultivators were filled with gratitude, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.

Before, they didn't understand why the three Gold Core Perfected Beings had joined forces to migrate away from Immortal Mist Island.

Now, after seeing that blood-colored tree, they immediately understood.

The terror of this monster was simply beyond imagination, like a natural disaster sweeping everything away.

Don't even mention a Gold Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul ancestor might not be able to withstand it.

But no matter what, judging from the outcome, they managed to survive.

Perhaps they are the only humans who survived on Xianxia Island.

...

At this moment, in the control room of the Immortal Mist Sect's Rank Three flying boat.

Zhou Sui, Leng Yuxi, Ji Bingyu, and several other wives gathered here, including Shen Biqian and Lin Yazhu, the two Gold Core female cultivators. It can be said that the wives were all gathered together.

As for other outsiders, they couldn't come here, so it could be considered a small meeting room.

"Husband, what exactly is that blood-colored giant tree? Is it really a demon? Why is it so terrifying?" Xia Jingyan asked with lingering fear. When she saw that blood-colored giant tree, her hair stood on end. At that moment, she thought she was done for, as if her soul would be completely swallowed by the other party.

"No wonder Husband wanted to leave Xianxia Island so quickly. Are you afraid of that terrifying demon?" Leng Yuxi was also shocked because she was a Gold Core Perfected Being, and her cultivation should be very powerful. But in the face of that demon, she felt completely powerless.

"Yes, I am indeed afraid of that demon."

"Its name is Blood Demon Tree, and it has completely broken free from its seal."

"Now its strength is even more terrifying than three thousand years ago."

"If we had stayed on Xianxia Island, we would definitely have become fertilizer for this demon tree."

"Of course, I didn't expect its strength to be so terrifying, covering the entire Xianxia Island in such a short time."

Zhou Sui was also very surprised.

Although he knew that the demon was not simple, he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.

You should know that Xianxia Island has a diameter of millions of kilometers, and it was easily covered by the other party. There is no doubt that the other party is definitely a natural anomaly.

Even among many demons, it can be considered a king-level existence.

"Fortunately, Husband was cautious and saved our lives."

"Otherwise, we would have died miserably at the hands of that demon."

Shen Biqian looked at Zhou Sui affectionately, feeling sweet in her heart. It seemed that this man had saved her life again.

Perhaps there was no way to repay this favor.

If she really wanted to repay it, she could only give birth to his child, preferably ten sons.

"There was really danger?!"

Lin Yazhu blinked her eyes. To be honest, although she sensed that the demon inside the Blood Shadow Ancestor's Cave Mansion was very terrifying, she didn't expect it to be this terrifying.

The reason she wanted to follow the Immortal Mist Sect and relocate was purely because she didn't want to be separated from this man.

Unexpectedly, unintentionally, it turned out that Azure Wood Sect escaped a disaster.

This also saved the inheritance of Azure Wood Sect.

So sometimes, love is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Husband, where should we go next?" Leng Yuxi asked, wanting to know the next destination for their group.

"Before, I investigated the information about the Immortal Mist Sect, Alchemy Cauldron Sect, and Azure Wood Sect in the Canglan Sea Region," Zhou Sui said.

"I found that there are five Nascent Soul-level forces in the entire Canglan Sea Region."

"The first one is naturally the Mysterious Treasure Building. Their shops are spread across the major islands of the Canglan Sea Region. Even remote islands like Xianxia Island have branches of the Mysterious Treasure Building, which proves the extent of their influence."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

During these three years, he not only immersed himself in cultivation but also, as the husband of Shen Biqian, the head of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, he naturally gained access to many of the sect's inherited techniques and a lot of information about the Canglan Sea Region.

Although Xianxia Island is very remote, generally, no one would leave the island and venture into the endless sea.

But occasionally, there are some cultivators who leave Xianxia Island in order to obtain more resources.

Because of this, there are still many cultivators who are knowledgeable about the outside world.

Even some Gold Core sects trade with other forces, exchanging a large amount of cultivation resources and sharing information.

In addition, relevant information can also be obtained from the Mysterious Treasure Building.

It can be said that Xianxia Island is not a completely isolated island.

"The second Nascent Soul sect is the Sunset Sect. It can be considered an alchemy sect, but its combat power is stronger than that of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect. It is the largest alchemy sect in the Canglan Sea Region and has cultivated a large number of alchemists."

"The third one is the Ethereal Palace. Most of the members of this sect are female cultivators. They occupy a large area of the sea and have considerable strength. It is said that there are more than twenty Nascent Soul ancestors within the sect."

"The fourth one is the Heavenly Sword Sect. It is a sword cultivation sect. Most of the cultivators who enter this sect are sword cultivators, so their combat power is formidable. It can be considered the strongest of the five Nascent Soul forces."

"The fifth one is the Infinite Unity Alliance. It is not a sect but an alliance of independent cultivators. Any independent cultivator force can join this alliance, and they are almost open to all. In a sense, this is the largest alliance, with more than thirty Nascent Soul ancestors within it. Unfortunately, they are only an alliance, so they are also fragmented."

Zhou Sui briefly explained the current situation in the Canglan Sea Region, where the five Nascent Soul forces dominate and rule over various corners of the sea.

"Mysterious Treasure Building, Sunset Sect, Ethereal Palace, Heavenly Sword Sect, Infinite Unity Alliance, the five Nascent Soul forces? The Canglan Sea Region is truly vast," Ji Bingyu said with emotion.

In Xianxia Island, the Gold Core sects are the absolute rulers.

But in the Canglan Sea Region, at least one must be a Nascent Soul ancestor to become a ruler and establish their own force.

"Husband, are these all righteous forces? Are there no demonic forces?" Mu Ziyan asked curiously.

She felt that demonic forces could not possibly be non-existent, as where there is light, there is darkness.

That is already a principle in the world.

"Of course, there are. The ones mentioned above are the five major righteous forces."

"As for the demonic forces, there are also three major forces."

"They are the Heavenly Demon Sect, Mysterious Yin Sect, and Black Fiend Hall."

"In any case, their cultivators are also well-known in the Canglan Sea Region, causing endless slaughter."

"The struggle between the righteous and demonic paths has been extremely intense, spanning thousands of years."

"Of course, from the results, the righteous path still holds the upper hand."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

When he learned that there were three major demonic forces in the Canglan Sea Region, one of which was the Heavenly Demon Sect.

And the cultivation technique he learned, the Illusionary Demon Transformation Art, came from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Obviously, a disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect accidentally ended up on Xianxia Island during their escape, leaving behind their inheritance.

Although the Canglan Sea Region is vast, it is actually quite small.

So his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. If the Heavenly Demon Sect were to find out that he had learned their technique, he didn't know what kind of trouble it would bring.

But fortunately, he had already cultivated this technique to a certain level of proficiency. He believed that unless he encountered a Nascent Soul ancestor from the Heavenly Demon Sect, it was highly unlikely that anyone would be able to see through his secret.

"These are all Nascent Soul forces. Are there no Soul Formation sects?"

Xia Jingyan asked curiously.

She knew that Soul Formation was above Nascent Soul, but Soul Formation cultivators were like mythical figures, existing only in legends.

"There are none."

"The Canglan Sea Region, although large, does not have a single Soul Formation cultivator."

"If there really were a Soul Formation cultivator, they would probably be able to unify the Canglan Sea Region."

"Of course, the Canglan Sea Region is so vast that it's uncertain if there is a Soul Formation ancestor hidden somewhere."

Zhou Sui didn't make any definitive statements, after all, the world was indeed vast, and there were many hidden talents.

Although according to the intelligence from the Immortal Mist Sect, the strongest in the Canglan Sea Region was only a Nascent Soul ancestor, who knew if there was a hidden Soul Formation ancestor in secret.

The cultivation world was too deep, and anything unexpected could happen.

"Husband, if that's the case, where should we go?"

Leng Yuxi asked curiously.

"Well, after thinking it over, I think we should go to the Infinite Unity Alliance."

"Although other Nascent Soul forces also accept vassal forces, there are too many restrictions."

"But the Infinite Unity Alliance is different. It can be considered an alliance of independent cultivators, and they accept almost anyone."

"Especially since you are Gold Core Perfected Beings, you will definitely be more welcomed by the Infinite Unity Alliance. You can even establish a Gold Core force."

"It is said that after joining the Infinite Unity Alliance, they can also allocate islands to us, helping us quickly integrate into the Canglan Sea Region."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

This was also his choice after investigating various information, to join the Infinite Unity Alliance.

After all, he had too many secrets on him, and it was simply not suitable to join those sect forces.

It would be better to join the Independent Cultivator alliance of the Infinite Unity Alliance.

Not only could he gain freedom, but he could also receive the protection of the Infinite Unity Alliance.

It can be said that this is killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, it's not easy to join the Infinite Unity Alliance. At least one must be a Gold Core Perfected Being to be valued by the other party.

If one is only at the Foundation Building stage, then they have no say at all.

Fortunately, Leng Yuxi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian are all Gold Core Perfected Beings.

I believe that as long as they personally intervene, they will definitely be able to easily join the Infinite Unity Alliance.

"Why do we have to join these Nascent Soul forces?"

"You should know that the Canglan Sea Region is so vast, with countless unclaimed islands."

"We just need to find an island to settle down on, isn't that enough?"

Xia Jingyan asked in confusion.

"It's not that simple."

"Although there are many islands in the Canglan Sea Region, it is relatively rare to find islands with Rank Three spiritual veins."

"Islands as large as Xianxia Island are actually quite rare. This is already considered a super large island."

"And without the protection of Nascent Soul forces, other forces will constantly cause trouble for you."

"Especially when encountering Nascent Soul forces, you will have to obediently hand over the Rank Three spiritual veins you occupy."

"So if you want to survive in the Canglan Sea Region, you must join forces."

"Of course, the most important thing is that if Leng Yuxi and the others want to form a Nascent Soul, they must communicate with major forces."

"In this way, they may be able to obtain Nascent Soul spiritual objects in the future."

Zhou Sui explained.

Although he advocates the "gu" path, it doesn't mean that he needs to live in remote and rarely visited places.

The so-called "hiding in the city" means blending in with many cultivators and becoming an ordinary person.

If they hide among other islands, they are very likely to be attacked by demonic cultivators or encounter beast tides.

By relying on Nascent Soul forces, they can gain support and protection from the other party.

"I see."

All the women nodded, understanding the meaning behind Zhou Sui's words.

No matter where they are, sticking together is the first rule for Independent Cultivators to survive.

Otherwise, weak cultivators are easily killed by enemies.

With an organization, enemies won't dare to underestimate them.

Just like in the chaotic times of their past lives, gangs were rampant because joining a gang and becoming a member of the gang could truly protect you.

Otherwise, you would be bullied.

"Husband, how long does it take to reach the area where the Infinite Unity Alliance is located?"

Ji Bingyu asked curiously.

After all, the Canglan Sea Region is boundless, and they have no idea how many thousands of miles it spans.

Even the million-kilometer diameter of Xianxia Island is insignificant compared to the Canglan Sea Region, like a small dot.

She had no idea how long they would need to sail in this sea area.

"Well, according to the speed of the flying boat, it will take at least five years to arrive."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment and answered.

Naturally, the Immortal Mist Sect also stored some sea maps of the Canglan Sea Region. After all, every generation of Gold Core Perfected Beings who wanted to form a Nascent Soul wanted to leave Xianxia Island, so they needed to buy sea maps from the Mysterious Treasure Building.

Of course, these sea maps were quite valuable and were heavily priced by the Mysterious Treasure Building, but they were still worth it.

After all, without a sea map, they would definitely get lost in the endless sea.

The actions of the previous generations of Immortal Mist Sect's sect masters also facilitated him.

After Book Gu devoured this sea map, he gained a certain understanding of the Canglan Sea Region.

What?!

Upon hearing this, all the women were shocked and couldn't believe it because this journey was really too exaggerated.

They knew very well how fast the flying boat was.

But even so, it would take five years of sailing to arrive.

So one can imagine how distant the journey is.

It's no wonder that there are so few cultivators from Xianxia Island who leave the island.

It's because the prosperous areas of the Canglan Sea Region are too far away.

With a five-year journey, plus the possibility of encountering various monsters, rogue cultivators, and so on along the way.

Often, before reaching their destination, they would probably die halfway.

It can be said that without the cultivation of the Gold Core stage, it is a dead end to dare to venture out to sea.

But now they have three Gold Core cultivators escorting them, so there is no safety issue.

"It's a pity that if the legendary teleportation array existed, we could arrive instantly."

Mu Ziyan sighed.

"Teleportation arrays are extremely rare. It is said that only Nascent Soul level forces possess them."

"And they only exist on certain Rank Four islands, which are basically strategic formations."

"They are rarely opened to outsiders."

"Even if used by insiders, each activation requires a large amount of spirit stones, which ordinary people cannot afford."

"The Immortal Mist Sect used to have a teleportation array."

"Unfortunately, they were completely destroyed in that great war 3,000 years ago, and there is no way to restore them even if we wanted to."

"It is because of this that our Xianxia Island is isolated from the other major islands in the Canglan Sea Region."

Leng Yuxi said in a deep voice.

"After losing the teleportation array, it became very difficult for Xianxia Island to travel to other islands. After all, no one can bear such a long journey that takes years to complete. Not to mention, such a journey is also highly risky. Over time, fewer and fewer people are willing to leave Xianxia Island. Only forces like the Mysterious Treasure Building, which are Nascent Soul cultivators, can cross the endless sea and bring a large number of treasures to Xianxia Island to sell, earning huge wealth from it."

.........

Late at night.

On the flying boat, Zhou Sui stayed in his room, carefully studying the eight storage bags he obtained from the Gold Core Perfected Beings.

He hadn't had time to study them before because he was always on the run. Now that he had finally escaped, he had some spare time.

It should be noted that Luo Hua and the others were Gold Core cultivators who had been dominating Xianxia Island for many years. As the leaders of a major power, it was imaginable how wealthy they were.

Even if they didn't necessarily carry all their treasures with them, just a portion of them would be quite astonishing.

"There are so many High Grade spirit stones?!"

After opening the eight storage bags, Zhou Sui widened his eyes and immediately sensed that they contained a large number of High Grade spirit stones, with even Middle Grade spirit stones being rare.

As for Low Grade spirit stones, there wasn't a single one. For Gold Core Perfected Beings, Low Grade spirit stones were like pocket change, and they rarely used such small amounts. Basically, they had started using High Grade spirit stones as the currency unit.

One High Grade spirit stone was equivalent to one hundred Middle Grade spirit stones and ten thousand Low Grade spirit stones. The value was immense.

He carefully counted and found that there were a total of twelve thousand High Grade spirit stones stored in the eight storage bags. This was undoubtedly an astonishing number.

For Qi Refining stage cultivators or Foundation Building stage cultivators, it was unimaginable wealth.

Of course, only Gold Core Perfected Beings could hold such a huge fortune.

"High Grade spirit stones are considered strategic resources in the cultivation world."

"Many formations require High Grade spirit stones to activate, such as teleportation arrays."

"Rank Three formations and Rank Four formations are the same."

"The energy source of a Rank Three flying boat also requires High Grade spirit stones."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He felt very satisfied. Just these High Grade spirit stones alone were enough for him to break even.

After all, mining High Grade spirit stones was not as easy as one might imagine. Especially now that he was heading to the Infinite Unity Alliance, a place where he was unfamiliar, it was better to have more initial capital.

Because he was no longer alone, he had a large army of nine thousand people with him. It was not an easy task to support this group of people.

"Wait, could these be Core Formation spiritual objects?"

"Is this real or fake? There are actually three portions of Ice-Fire Spirit Liquid?!"

"It's real, it's really happening."

"These Gold Core Perfected Beings are truly wealthy."

Zhou Sui widened his eyes, ecstatic.

He unexpectedly found three portions of Core Formation spiritual object, Ice-Fire Spirit Liquid, in these storage bags.

In the past, Leng Yuxi had risked her life to bid for Core Formation spiritual objects at the auction. She had almost been poisoned by the Shadow Demon Sect.

But now, he actually found three portions of Core Formation spiritual objects in the storage bags of these Gold Core Perfected Beings.

This was truly unbelievable.

It should be noted that he had already obtained three Rank Three pill, Golden Liquid Jade Revitalizing Pill. Leng Yuxi had used one of them, so there were still two Golden Liquid Jade Revitalizing Pills left.

And now, he had obtained three portions of Core Formation spiritual objects.

This meant that not only he, but even his wives like Ji Bingyu had also obtained Core Formation spiritual objects.

In the future, when they attempted Core Formation, they would not lack resources.

Of course, more importantly, in the future, he might not even need these Core Formation spiritual objects. Perhaps he would try to independently achieve Core Formation.

After all, so-called Core Formation spiritual objects were only used by mediocre talents.

True geniuses had an extremely solid foundation, and there would be no problem even if they attempted Core Formation independently.

They might even gain more benefits.

But that was something for the future.

Now, obtaining these Core Formation spiritual objects also provided a certain degree of guarantee for his future Core Formation.

If he really couldn't achieve Core Formation independently, then using these resources would be a backup plan.
