Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 26: Materials for Refining the Book Gu, Infinite Library

"Is there any way to improve one's comprehension?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui's gaze fell upon the Divine Gu Bowl. He thought that perhaps this treasure could help him solve this problem.

Rumble~~

In an instant, the Divine Gu Bowl seemed to sense his thoughts and gently trembled. Immediately, a message entered his consciousness.

"Wait, refining the Book Gu?! The Book Gu can help me improve my comprehension?!"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

The so-called Book Gu is also a very special type of Gu worm. It feeds on books and can devour one book after another, one heritage jade slip after another. Once it has eaten these books, it can immediately record all of their contents, and it has the ability to never forget. If it devours enough books, it can become a huge library.

Its memory capacity is infinite, and the more books it devours, the stronger its power becomes.

Most importantly, it can help the host understand the contents of the books, acting as a cultivation aid to improve one's comprehension and speed up understanding.

"There actually exists such a Gu worm in the world? I must refine it."

Zhou Sui was very excited.

If he could successfully refine this Gu worm, then various cultivation techniques and spells would no longer be so difficult in his eyes. He would be able to easily grasp them.

He didn't know how much time he could save in cultivation.

"The main material is the Woodworm, a type of spiritual insect that specializes in gnawing on wood. In addition, there are thirty-six other materials."

"It seems like it's time to buy the materials."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

Fortunately, he was in Misty Cloud City, and nearby was the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, which specialized in producing various spiritual materials. It almost included Myriad Manifestations. As long as he had spirit stones, he could basically buy the corresponding materials.

After all, once he refined the Book Gu, his cultivation would become much easier.

So this matter was imperative.

............

Boom~~

In an instant, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, activated the Clone Gu, and instantly condensed a clone.

This clone was almost identical to his main body, with no discernible differences except for a slightly lower cultivation level.

He planned to use the clone to purchase the materials for refining the Book Gu.

Although the Rogue Cultivators wouldn't dare to act in Misty Cloud City in broad daylight, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Even if the clone encountered danger, it wouldn't harm his main body. At most, he would lose some insignificant wealth.

In any case, he wouldn't be careless until his cultivation reached an invincible state.

Whoosh!

The clone Zhou Sui left the house and headed towards the main road of Misty Cloud City.

The journey was smooth, with few cultivators on the road. Perhaps it was because of the recent poor public security in Misty Cloud City that not many cultivators dared to come out for leisure.

He also smoothly arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion in Misty Cloud City and saw Zhao, the shopkeeper.

"Oh, isn't this Zhou kid? It's been a while, and your cultivation has actually improved so much. You're already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, right?" Zhao, the shopkeeper, praised with a click of his tongue. His eyes were sharp, and he instantly noticed Zhou Sui's cultivation level.

What?!

Zhou Sui was secretly surprised. He didn't expect his cultivation level to be discovered so quickly. Although this was just a Dao incarnation, his cultivation level was almost the same as his true self.

It seems that he must quickly succeed in practicing the Illusionary Demon Transformation Technique. Otherwise, any cultivator would be able to see through his true identity, and he would have no privacy left.

Most importantly, if his cultivation level advanced too quickly, anyone would notice that something was amiss.

It didn't matter if his Dao companion knew his true identity, but those unscrupulous cultivators might develop thoughts of killing him and seizing his treasures.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, you're too kind. It's just my Dao companion helping me. Without her assistance, how could my cultivation level improve so quickly?" Zhou Sui smiled slightly, indicating that it was all thanks to his Dao companion.

Dao companion?!

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly realized. He immediately remembered that Zhou Sui's Dao companion was a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level. If he received the help of a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level and consumed a large amount of medicinal pills, it wouldn't be impossible for him to advance to the fourth level of Qi Refining in a short period of time. It would just require a significant amount of spiritual stones.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but feel jealous. This kid seemed ordinary, yet he managed to gain the favor of a Qi Refining cultivator at the later stage. It was truly unbelievable. What was his secret?

Could it be that this kid really had a bold and lively personality that could win the hearts of female cultivators?

However, on the surface, Shopkeeper Zhao remained calm.

"I see. I wonder what you're here to buy this time, young man?"

Shopkeeper Zhao asked.

"I want to buy a kind of woodworm, a creature that specifically gnaws on wood. Do you have it here?"

Zhou Sui asked straightforwardly.

"Woodworm? Are you referring to the wood aphid? It's one of the main ingredients of the Wood Spirit Pill. Luckily, I have some in stock, but it will cost you five hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

After careful consideration, Shopkeeper Zhao quoted a price.

"I'll take it."

Zhou Sui said without hesitation. Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones were nothing to him. As long as he could refine the Book Gu, everything would be worth it.

"It seems that young Zhou is truly fortunate. You can even come up with so many spiritual stones."

Shopkeeper Zhao felt a sourness in his heart. He didn't believe that this kid earned so many spiritual stones himself. It must have been given by that Qi Refining cultivator at the later stage. What method did this kid use to please such a beautiful female cultivator?

He managed to coax her into giving him so many spiritual stones as pocket money.

If he had known that living off a woman was so comfortable, he would have done it too.

Unfortunately, he was already old, and his figure had long gone to waste. There was probably no female cultivator who would be interested in him.

"No, no. I've already spent all my family's wealth. I really don't have a single drop left."

"By the way, besides the wood aphid, I also need other materials. Sell them to me as well."

Zhou Sui humbly said, then continued to purchase other materials.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao and the surrounding employees of the pill shop turned green with envy. Just how rich was this guy? He claimed to have spent all his family's wealth, but he still bought so many spiritual materials.

There was no doubt that this money must have been given by that older female cultivator.

Otherwise, how could this kid have so many spiritual stones?

Originally, this kid was nothing special, but after getting involved with a wealthy woman, he suddenly became so extravagant. He didn't even blink when spending hundreds of low-grade spiritual stones.

It was simply a case of a small person becoming arrogant.

The surrounding employees gritted their teeth in envy.

But they had no choice. They could only fulfill Zhou Sui's requests and search for various spiritual materials.

After all, he had money, and he was also a customer. That made him like a god.
