Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 260: It's Normal for Men to Have Three Wives and Four Concubines, Giving Away a Gold Core Maid

"Wait, there are Infant Formation Pills too?"

"And there are three Infant Formation Pills."

At this moment, Zhou Sui continued to search for treasures in the storage bag.

Obviously, besides the Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, there were also a large number of Rank Four Spirit Materials, Rank Four Spirit Medicines, and Rank Four Pills.

Among them, he found Infant Formation Pills suitable for Gold Core cultivators.

To be honest, this was purely a pleasant surprise.

After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators might not necessarily have Infant Formation Pills on them.

But these seven Nascent Soul cultivators happened to have Infant Formation Pills, which could be considered as a stroke of luck.

Although he might not need Infant Formation Pills in the future for his own Infant Formation.

But his few dao companions would still need Infant Formation Pills when they reached Infant Formation.

After all, Infant Formation Pills could greatly increase the success rate of Infant Formation, and not everyone could independently achieve Infant Formation like him.

He couldn't expect his dao companions to be like him.

That would be wishful thinking.

"Your luck is really good. You actually found three Infant Formation Pills."

"It seems that you have a great chance of success in your Infant Formation in the future."

"You should know that even the core members of the Infinite Unity Alliance need to contribute and queue up to get Infant Formation Pills."

"After all, there are too many cultivators who want Infant Formation Pills."

"The descendants of the major Nascent Soul ancestors all want them, and sometimes they have to wait in line for hundreds of years before they have a chance."

Venerable Peach Blossom sighed.

She also noticed that the bottle contained Infant Formation Pills.

She was overjoyed and her heart fluttered.

If that was the case, this man had a great chance of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

In that case, this man would have a little qualification to become her dao companion.

After all, how could he become her dao companion if he was only a Gold Core cultivator?

"What kind of pill is this?"

Zhou Sui took out several bottles of pills from the storage bag again. He sensed that the pills in these bottles were at least Rank Four, exuding a strong medicinal power and radiating precious light.

Obviously, these were not just ordinary pills, but treasure pills.

"This is the Rank Four pill, Profound Azure Pill, suitable for enhancing the cultivation of Nascent Soul early stage."

"It can be said that this kind of pill is very valuable, and only Nascent Soul cultivators can possess it."

"Even with Spirit Stones, you can't buy Rank Four pills."

"You can only exchange for Rank Four pills from other Nascent Soul cultivators with goods."

Venerable Peach Blossom recognized the Profound Azure Pill at a glance. It was a relatively common Rank Four pill for Nascent Soul cultivators.

When she was in the early stage of Nascent Soul, she often took Profound Azure Pills to enhance her cultivation.

"It is said that after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, cultivation progress will suddenly slow down."

"Often, it takes hundreds of years to make progress. What is the reason for this?"

Zhou Sui was very curious.

After all, the Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect had very little information about Nascent Soul cultivators, and it was rare to find any.

His dao companion, Lin Yazhu, had already advanced to Nascent Soul and needed the experience of cultivating in the Nascent Soul stage.

So he also wanted to know about the cultivation of Nascent Soul.

You should know that Venerable Peach Blossom had the Heaven Spirit Root aptitude and was the daughter of the leader of the Infinite Unity Alliance, with abundant resources.

Normally, her cultivation should progress rapidly.

But even so, Venerable Peach Blossom was already over five hundred years old and only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Such cultivation speed seemed a bit inconsistent with her Heaven Spirit Root aptitude.

"This is a normal thing."

"You should have heard about my cultivation experience before."

"I built the foundation at the age of eighteen, advanced to Gold Core at the age of forty, and reached Infant Formation at the age of two hundred and eighty."

"This can be considered as rapid progress, but now I am five hundred and fifty years old and only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

"There is still a long way to go before reaching the late stage of Nascent Soul."

"The biggest reason for this situation is that there are too few pills suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators."

Venerable Peach Blossom said in a deep voice.

"Too few pills suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui was stunned, and he seemed to understand something.

"That's right."

"During the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Building stage, and Gold Core stage, cultivators make rapid progress, largely relying on the assistance of pills."

"If there is no pill assistance, relying solely on cultivation would be impossible for cultivators other than those with Heaven Spirit Root aptitude to advance to higher realms before their lifespan is exhausted."

"So now you understand the importance of pills."

"When the cultivation is low, any random pill can enhance cultivation."

"Not to mention pills, even a spiritual herb can increase the cultivation of Qi Refining stage cultivators."

"But after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, ordinary pills and spiritual herbs no longer work."

"For Nascent Soul cultivators, ordinary pills and spiritual herbs are like ordinary meals, only enough to meet daily needs."

"As for increasing cultivation, it is almost impossible."

"So the vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators can only rely on their own cultivation."

"As a result, the progress of cultivation naturally becomes unimaginably slow."

Venerable Peach Blossom said helplessly.

"Why are there so few pills suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Zhou Sui curiously asked.

He also had a slight understanding of why most Nascent Soul cultivators were only in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Without the assistance of elixirs, relying solely on cultivation would indeed result in a painfully slow progress.

It was normal for them to make little progress even after hundreds of years.

"Well, there are three reasons in total."

"The first reason is the drastic changes in the world, which led to the loss of many ancient spiritual medicines."

"Even if they have some ancient alchemy recipes, without the main medicinal ingredients, they cannot be refined."

"For example, some of the main medicinal ingredients for Nascent Soul alchemy recipes are millennium spiritual medicines, or even spiritual medicines that are several thousand years old. These spiritual medicines have long been indiscriminately cut down and destroyed by ancient cultivators, and have been completely extinct."

"Even if we want to reproduce them now, it is almost impossible."

"The second reason is that each Nascent Soul power is possessive. They are unwilling to share the Nascent Soul alchemy recipes they have mastered, and to exchange and learn from each other."

"Once a war breaks out and many Nascent Soul sects are destroyed, the alchemy recipes they possess will be completely lost, and no one will be able to obtain Nascent Soul alchemy recipes anymore."

"As time goes by, the number of Nascent Soul alchemy recipes that can truly circulate in the world is extremely limited, reaching a level that can be counted on one's fingers." Venerable Peach Blossom said in a deep voice.

"What about the third reason?" Zhou Sui continued to ask.

"The third reason is even simpler, and that is the scarcity of Rank Four alchemists."

"Even Nascent Soul-level powers have very few Rank Four alchemists."

"Without Rank Four alchemists, it is almost impossible to refine Rank Four elixirs."

"As a result, there are naturally very few elixirs suitable for Nascent Soul cultivators."

Venerable Peach Blossom shrugged and stated the third reason.

"Are there really so few Rank Four alchemists?" Zhou Sui asked curiously.

This was also something he found very strange.

Because even in the Infinite Unity Alliance, there seemed to be very few Rank Four alchemists, only one or two at most.

There were plenty of Rank Three alchemists, though.

"Of course, there are few. One prerequisite for becoming a Rank Four alchemist is to become a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"The problem is that there are very few people who become Nascent Soul cultivators and possess alchemy talent."

"Among cultivators with alchemy talent, 99.9% of them cannot advance to Nascent Soul."

"So in order to refine Rank Four elixirs, we Nascent Soul cultivators must all become versatile and start learning how to refine elixirs to become Rank Four alchemists."

"But obviously, the alchemist profession also values talent. Just because you are a Nascent Soul cultivator doesn't mean you can definitely become an alchemist. The level of proficiency may only reach the Rank Three realm, but that's the limit."

"The problem is that if they are only at the Rank Three realm, it is undoubtedly because what they need is not Rank Three elixirs, but Rank Four elixirs, so learning the alchemist inheritance is purely a waste of time."

"It's a thankless task."

Venerable Peach Blossom wore a bitter melon face.

Obviously, she had also studied alchemy knowledge diligently in order to refine Rank Four elixirs.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much talent as an alchemist.

Seeing the theoretical knowledge of those elixirs makes me want to sleep.

Even after years of study, I am currently only at the Rank Three level.

As for when I can advance to the Rank Four level, I have no idea.

"Is it really that difficult to become a Rank Four alchemist?"

"Why can only Nascent Soul cultivators refine Rank Four elixirs?"

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, very curious about this.

After all, he was not far from becoming a Rank Four alchemist, so he naturally needed to understand the relevant knowledge in advance.

This way, he could become a Rank Four alchemist more quickly.

"It's simple. Rank Three elixirs and Rank Four elixirs are not the same kind of elixir."

"If the elixirs before Rank Three are spiritual elixirs, then Rank Four elixirs are treasure elixirs."

"And the formation of treasure elixirs requires going through the Elixir Tribulation."

"Only by going through the Elixir Tribulation can Rank Four elixirs be refined."

"Because after crossing the Elixir Tribulation, one can absorb the Qi of Good Fortune scattered by the heavens and earth, which can then form treasure elixirs."

"So now you know how precious Rank Four elixirs are."

"Each elixir is valuable and cannot be measured by spirit stones."

Venerable Peach Blossom said very seriously.

"This!"

Zhou Sui was shocked in his heart. Although he knew that Rank Four elixirs were a qualitative transformation compared to Rank Three elixirs, he didn't expect the transformation to be so huge.

One is a spiritual elixir, the other is a treasure elixir. The two are completely different elixirs.

But only with such elixirs can the mana of Nascent Soul cultivators be enhanced.

"Can't other people help with the Elixir Tribulation?"

Zhou Sui asked.

Because if the Elixir Tribulation can be assisted by others, such as Nascent Soul cultivators, then it would naturally be easy to pass the tribulation without much effort.

"No, the Elixir Tribulation for Rank Four elixirs is naturally not that simple."

"If it were that simple, Rank Four alchemists wouldn't be so rare."

The Elixir Tribulation is a calamity, but at the same time, it is also the necessary power for refining Rank Four elixirs.

Because to refine Rank Four elixirs, one needs to trigger the Elixir Tribulation and use the power of the tribulation to refine the impurities of the Rank Four spiritual herbs.

But this step requires precise control.

If one is not careful and the power is too great, it will cause the elixir to be destroyed and all previous efforts will be in vain.

This requires a Rank Four alchemist to control and accurately measure every bit of power in order to succeed.

If it were a Gold Core cultivator, it would be almost impossible to trigger the Elixir Tribulation and use its power.

Only Nascent Soul cultivators can possess this ability.

So if one does not become a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is basically impossible to refine Rank Four elixirs.

In this way, one naturally cannot become a Rank Four alchemist.

Venerable Peach Blossom said in a deep voice, explaining the difficulties of becoming a Rank Four alchemist and refining Rank Four pills.

It's definitely not as simple as imagined.

If it were really that easy, there would have been countless cultivators who became Rank Four alchemists long ago.

But so far, there are only a few Rank Four alchemists in the Canglan Sea Region.

"I see."

Zhou Sui nodded, now understanding the difficulty of becoming a Rank Four alchemist.

No wonder Rank Four alchemists are also known as masters of pill refinement.

Those who can reach this level are truly rare.

Thinking of this, he ignored these matters and continued searching for treasures in the storage bag.

It must be said that the storage bag of a Nascent Soul cultivator is truly remarkable. The treasures inside are not only valuable, but also extremely rare and difficult to find in the outside world.

This also broadened his horizons.

"Hmm, what kind of pill is this?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui found a bottle of unique pill in the storage bag of a sea clan cultivator.

Because this bottle was quite extraordinary.

It was the famous Spiritual Weapon Jade Ointment Bottle, specifically used to store precious pills.

To prevent the medicinal power of the pills from dissipating in the outside world.

Any pill stored in this special bottle is of considerable value.

With a light tap, he gently opened the bottle cap, and immediately a golden pill appeared inside, emitting bursts of light and flowing with mysterious treasure light. It seemed to have floating patterns on it.

At the same time, it emitted waves of pill fragrance, fragrant and refreshing, shaking people's minds.

This pill is even more precious than the Infant Formation Pills and Profound Azure Pill.

"No way, is it real or fake?"

"Could this be the legendary Creation Pill?"

At the first moment, Venerable Peach Blossom widened her beautiful eyes, looking at this pill in disbelief.

"Creation Pill? What's the story behind it?"

Zhou Sui curiously asked.

"This is an extraordinary treasure pill."

"I don't know how many Nascent Soul cultivators want to obtain this pill."

"Because it can help Nascent Soul cultivators break through bottlenecks."

"I see, no wonder Black Fiend Hall is willing to cooperate with the sea clan cultivators."

"Is it because the sea clan has the Creation Pill? That's really a big move."

Venerable Peach Blossom was greatly shocked.

She had been stuck in the mid-stage of Nascent Soul for a long time and had been unable to break through.

If she were to obtain this Creation Pill, she wouldn't dare to say it's a hundred percent success, but she would have a 40-50% chance.

Once he reaches the Nascent Soul Late Stage, he will become a great cultivator.

Even within the entire Canglan Sea Region, he will be an influential figure.

"Since it is beneficial to you, this Heaven-defying Pill is yours."

Zhou Sui immediately noticed Venerable Peach Blossom's desire and gave the Heaven-defying Pill to her.

After all, the stronger Venerable Peach Blossom's strength, the more benefits it would bring to him.

"I apologize, I originally promised to give you all the treasures of these Nascent Soul cultivators."

"But this Heaven-defying Pill is too important to me, so I cannot refuse it."

"So I owe you a favor, and in the future, I will fulfill a request within my capabilities."

Venerable Peach Blossom looked at Zhou Sui seriously.

"No need to be polite, it's only natural."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly. He didn't need any favors, he only needed her.

But he also knew that now was not the time to obtain Venerable Peach Blossom.

"Are you really not planning to stay on Peach Blossom Island?"

"Peach Blossom Island has a Rank Four spiritual vein, and the cultivation environment is definitely better than the Three Star Islands where you are."

"Of course, I know you can't bear to leave your wives and concubines."

"So I also allow your wives and concubines to live on Peach Blossom Island with you."

"If you feel that your wives and concubines are not enough, my four Gold Core maids can also marry you as concubines."

"Even the three thousand female cultivators on the island, if you fancy any of them, you can take them as wives."

"They all possess Primordial Yin, which is definitely suitable for you."

Venerable Peach Blossom looked at Zhou Sui with a seductive gaze, her expression seemed very serious.

"This, this doesn't seem right."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui was a bit stunned. He never expected that Venerable Peach Blossom would offer so many tempting conditions just to invite him to Peach Blossom Island.

Fortunately, he had strong self-control, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to resist.

For a moment, he didn't know if this Nascent Soul female cultivator was testing him or speaking sincerely.

"What's wrong with it? It's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, isn't it?"

"Just like my father, Wuji Daoist, who loved my mother very much."

"But that didn't stop him from marrying seventy-two concubines."

Venerable Peach Blossom said naturally, she was not testing him, but speaking sincerely.

After all, these concubines were just passing clouds.

If their cultivation realm couldn't break through, they would only be a handful of dust after hundreds of years.

The ones who could truly stay together were those astonishingly talented female cultivators who could last for thousands of years in this world.

She considered these concubines to be just seasonings.

As long as the other party liked her, that would be enough.

"This!"

Zhou Sui blinked his eyes. Even though he knew that the values in the cultivation world were different from his previous life, he still felt a strong shock and a slight discomfort.

In this world, the weak truly had no power.

Only the strong could control all the power and resources.

No wonder Venerable Peach Blossom had such thoughts. As the saying goes, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beams will be crooked." Even her father, Venerable Wuji, was like this. From childhood to adulthood, he was influenced by this environment, naturally not having any other thoughts.

And it wasn't just Venerable Wuji. In the entire Canglan Sea Region, many Nascent Soul cultivators, except for those Daoists who abandoned emotions, had multiple wives and concubines. Over hundreds of years, this had formed numerous large Nascent Soul families.

"Thank you, Senior Peach Blossom, for your kindness, but I still prefer to stay in the Three Star Island Group."

"I can only appreciate Senior's goodwill in my heart."

After careful consideration, Zhou Sui still chose to refuse Venerable Peach Blossom's kindness. Because the sea clan was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Infinite Unity Alliance, if he rashly joined Peach Blossom Island, he would definitely be involved in this vast war and would have no way to escape.

If he stayed in the Three Star Island Group, he could escape at any time if something unexpected happened. Most importantly, the Three Star Island Group was his territory, protected by a Rank Four formation, so he had no worries about safety.

Therefore, he naturally wouldn't join Peach Blossom Island for the sake of these female cultivators.

To put it bluntly, after becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator, there was no woman he couldn't get. Why rush?

The most important thing now was to improve his cultivation and advance to the Nascent Soul realm, rather than entering the core of the Infinite Unity Alliance. As long as he had strength, he would naturally be able to control the corresponding wealth and power. If his strength was insufficient, rushing in would only invite disaster.

"Alright."

Venerable Peach Blossom was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that despite her repeated invitations, this man in front of her still refused. However, she wasn't angry, but rather ignited her fighting spirit even more. No matter what, she would obtain this man and make him obediently enter her Peach Blossom Island.

"Are you going back to Peach Blossom Island now?"

Venerable Peach Blossom asked.

"Yes."

Zhou Sui nodded. Since the matter on Julu Island had been completely resolved and five Nascent Soul cultivators from the sea clan had died, there shouldn't be a war in the short term. In that case, he naturally wouldn't want to stay on Julu Island. Moreover, he had a large number of treasures from Nascent Soul cultivators and the flesh and blood of a Rank Four sea monster, which were extremely valuable. He wanted to bring these treasures back as soon as possible and let his true body quickly digest and absorb them.

In this case, one's own cultivation will rapidly improve and advance to the Gold Core Late Stage.

So he almost didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Since that's the case, I will give my maidservant to you."

"Chun Tao, Xia Tao, Qiu Tao, Dong Tao."

"This time, you will follow Zhou Sui back to the Three Star Island Group."

"In the future, you will be responsible for his safety."

Venerable Peach Blossom waved her hand.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Immediately, the door of the quiet room opened, and four charming and beautiful women appeared. They had hot figures and stunning looks, and what was even more important was that their appearances were almost identical.

Whether it was pure, sexy, gentle, or proud.

It seemed that all the good qualities of women in the world were gathered in these four maidservants.

They were all female cultivators at the Gold Core Late Stage, and they were also quadruplets.

These four maidservants were saved by Venerable Peach Blossom more than two hundred years ago when she was chasing a group of Black Fiend Hall demonic cultivators. It could be said that Venerable Peach Blossom raised them single-handedly, and they had a mother-daughter relationship.

By now, they were already famous figures on Peach Blossom Island.

"Senior, these are your maidservants. How can they be given to me?"

"And are they willing?"

Zhou Sui was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect that Venerable Peach Blossom would make such a choice. It was beyond his expectations.

"Lord Zhou, of course we are willing."

"We hope that Lord Zhou won't dislike our existence."

"Since it's the order of the island lord, we have no objections."

"Please guide us in the future."

Chun Tao, Xia Tao, Qiu Tao, and Dong Tao all looked at Zhou Sui affectionately, as if they had long been interested in him.

Even if they had to leave Peach Blossom Island, they didn't think it was a big deal.

After all, this was the order of the island lord. Even if it meant death, they would fulfill it.

Because they were able to survive and have their current cultivation, it was all thanks to the grace of the island lord.

They were willing to give everything and exhaust all their efforts for the island lord.

"Very well, it seems that there is mutual affection."

"Zhou Sui, you wouldn't still want to refuse me, would you?"

Venerable Peach Blossom looked down from a high position, her beautiful eyes staring at Zhou Sui, exuding a powerful Nascent Soul pressure.

Obviously, she was already impatient and wanted to use her power to suppress him.

"Alright, since it's your goodwill, then I can only accept it."

"But I hope the four of you won't dislike the Three Star Island Group, which is a small place."

Zhou Sui said helplessly and could only agree.
