Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 279: Promotion to Rank Four Alchemist, Nine Tribulations Treasure Pill

"I did it, I finally did it."

"A total of nine pills have been successfully refined."

"Now, I am officially a Rank Four Lower Grade Alchemist."

Zhou Sui laughed heartily, filled with joy.

He sensed that inside the pill furnace were nine round Rank Four treasure pills - Pure Yang Revitalizing Pills.

These Rank Four treasure pills not only restored the internal mana, but also healed various injuries, cured defects, and improved physical fitness.

It can be said that they have endless uses.

Truly deserving of the name "treasure pill".

However, the ability to refine these Rank Four treasure pills was thanks to the power of the Nascent Soul realm.

Without the power of the Nascent Soul realm, it would be impossible to weaken the power of the tribulations.

In this case, when the tribulations arrived, the pills would be instantly destroyed.

"No wonder even without reaching the Nascent Soul realm, it is impossible to refine Rank Four pills."

"The power of the tribulations alone is not something that a Gold Core cultivator can withstand."

Zhou Sui sighed with emotion.

He was able to become a Rank Four Alchemist ahead of time because he had mastered the power that only Nascent Soul cultivators possessed.

If not for this, he would not have been able to become a Rank Four Alchemist.

"Wait, these nine Pure Yang Revitalizing Pills actually have pill patterns?"

"According to the knowledge passed down by Rank Four Alchemists, pills that have gone through one tribulation will give birth to a pill pattern."

"If they go through two tribulations, they will have two pill patterns."

"By this logic, if they go through nine tribulations, they will have nine pill patterns, making them Nine Tribulations Treasure Pills."

"However, such Nine Tribulations Treasure Pills have never been seen in the mortal realm. Having a Two Tribulations Treasure Pill is already considered good."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He could sense that the path of an alchemist was vast and profound. His current achievement was only the first step of a long journey.

Even becoming a Rank Four Alchemist was nothing at all.

Swish!

At this moment, the door to the alchemy room opened, and Lin Yazhu, Chu Dieyi, and others walked in.

They looked curiously at the surroundings of the alchemy room.

"Husband, did you really refine a Rank Four treasure pill?"

Shen Biqian looked at Zhou Sui with surprise in her beautiful eyes. She smelled the strong fragrance of the pills permeating the alchemy room, which made her spirits soar and her body seem to cheer.

The fragrance of this Rank Four treasure pill was truly intoxicating.

As a Rank Three High Grade Alchemist, she naturally could perceive the power of this pill.

"Yes, I have successfully refined it."

"I have passed the first tribulation and refined the Pure Yang Revitalizing Pill."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly, naturally not intending to hide anything.

"Husband actually succeeded in refining the Pure Yang Return Yuan Pill?"

"This is a pill that even Rank Four alchemists have a high chance of failing to refine."

"And Husband even refined nine pills in one go, which is really amazing."

"If these Rank Four treasure pills were sold, they could probably be exchanged for a low-grade Spiritual Treasure."

Chu Dieyi was extremely surprised.

She knew the value of Rank Four treasure pills, especially the Pure Yang Return Yuan Pill. For Nascent Soul cultivators, it was like having an extra life and could play a huge role in critical moments.

Especially for Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, who already had very little spiritual power left, taking a Pure Yang Return Yuan Pill would instantly replenish their spiritual power, making them unmatched by other Nascent Soul cultivators.

It could be said that each Pure Yang Return Yuan Pill was a trump card and had a high value.

Of course, it was said that in ancient times, the value of Rank Four treasure pills was not as astonishing.

But as time went on, the number of Rank Four alchemists gradually decreased, coupled with the scarcity of various millennium spirit medicines.

This also led to fewer and fewer Rank Four pills.

As the saying goes, rarity makes things valuable.

As a result, the value of Rank Four treasure pills continued to rise.

"That's right."

"Now I am like a spiritual stone vein in the Canglan Sea Region."

Zhou Sui was proud.

To be honest, this statement was not an exaggeration, but a fact.

The wealth earned by each Rank Four alchemist would not be less than that of a spiritual stone vein, and it might even be more.

Once a Rank Four treasure pill was refined, it would attract many Nascent Soul cultivators to come knocking on the door.

They were willing to spend a lot of resources to exchange for treasure pills.

It was like in the previous life, exchanging a plane for billions of pairs of pants. This was the value brought by high technology.

"Husband, I want to learn from you how to refine pills."

Lin Yazhu looked at Zhou Sui with seductive eyes.

"Yes, teach us too."

"Let's see how Husband actually refines Rank Four treasure pills."

Leng Yuxi and the others also chuckled, very bold.

"This!"

Seeing the seductive expressions of his dao companions, Zhou Sui couldn't help but understand. These group of vixens didn't want to learn anything about pill refining from him, they clearly wanted to devour him.

It was like wolves and tigers.

After years of cultivation, they were no longer the naive little cabbages they used to be.

But before he could take a step back, they grabbed him, hands and feet everywhere.

Obviously, they also wanted to celebrate with Zhou Sui and taste the flavor of being a Rank Four alchemist.

After a few days.

Inside the bedroom of the Immortal Mist Sect.

Zhou Sui had exhausted all his efforts to pass on his lifelong knowledge to his Dao companion, benefiting them greatly. Many Dao companions were satisfied and let him go.

Fortunately, his physical strength was still good, otherwise he really couldn't withstand the Dao companions' thirst for knowledge.

Boom~

At this moment, another violent earthquake swept through the entire Sanxing Island group, as if the endless spiritual energy had turned into a storm, sweeping through this sea area.

Every cultivator in this sea area was affected.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, feeling puzzled because this was not a natural phenomenon.

Instead, it seemed like a terrifying power fluctuation that swept through the sea area for millions of miles.

"Husband, is something wrong with the Soul Formation ruins?"

Chu Dieyi immediately thought of the mysterious and unpredictable Soul Formation ruins. After all, the Soul Formation ruins were too close to the Sanxing Island group. Once something happened, it would inevitably affect the Sanxing Island group.

"Yes, something did happen at the Soul Formation ruins."

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart moved and immediately communicated with his many avatars.

Now his avatars were spread throughout the Infinite Unity Alliance sea area.

Some of the avatars were also lurking near the Soul Formation ruins.

They did not intend to explore inside and obtain treasures, but rather wanted to gather information nearby.

After all, even if Zhou Sui didn't want to enter the Soul Formation ruins, he at least needed to know what was happening inside.

This is what they call knowing oneself and the enemy, in order to win every battle.

Of course, Zhou Sui's main body would not be in constant contact with his avatars.

Only when necessary, would he contact his avatars to obtain the information they had gathered.

Boom~

At this moment, a large amount of information instantly poured into his avatars, then entered the Book Gu, being devoured, digested, and absorbed by the Book Gu, forming numerous books of information.

This was another ability of the Book Gu, it could organize Zhou Sui's memories into books.

Otherwise, with so many avatars, it would be troublesome to organize so many memories.

"Many Nascent Soul forces joined forces and spent five years to finally break the outer prohibition formation."

"Now they have entered the Soul Formation ruins."

"The earthquake and spiritual energy storm that just occurred were caused by the destruction of the outer prohibition formation of the Soul Formation ruins."

Zhou Sui immediately obtained the relevant information from his avatars' memories.

He saw many Nascent Soul cultivators joining forces to break the outer prohibition formation, causing a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation that swept through millions of miles of sea area like a storm.

From this, it can be seen how powerful and terrifying a Rank Five formation is.

"No way, they broke through so quickly?"

Lin Yazhu was taken aback.

Because according to previous analysis, these Nascent Soul forces would need at least several decades to decipher the Rank Five prohibition formation on the periphery. But now, in just five years, it has been deciphered.

This is really unexpected.

"I underestimated the foundation of these Nascent Soul forces."

"Many Nascent Soul forces mobilized hundreds of Rank Four formation masters and found the flaws in the Rank Five prohibition formation."

"Of course, in ancient times, the Rank Five formation definitely had no flaws."

"But after thousands of years of erosion, these prohibition formations have become dilapidated."

"At the same time, with no one controlling the formations, they become dead formations."

"This gave the Rank Four formation masters the opportunity to break the formations."

"In addition, the Mysterious Treasure Building unexpectedly produced an extremely precious Rank Five prohibition-breaking talisman, instantly destroying the outer prohibition formation, which led to their successful entry into the Soul Formation ruins."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice, immediately recounting the information he knew.

After all, his clone was hiding in the dark.

Then he used his mental power to eavesdrop on the conversations of many cultivators.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't detect the probing of mental power, so they were not on guard.

His clone was able to grasp a lot of information.

"A Rank Five prohibition-breaking talisman?"

"This Mysterious Treasure Building is truly wealthy, actually able to produce a Rank Five prohibition-breaking talisman."

Chu Dieyi was extremely surprised.

Because even in the treasury of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they wouldn't dare to claim to have a Rank Five prohibition-breaking talisman.

This is a precious talisman comparable to Soul Formation, and it may even be out of print.

But the Mysterious Treasure Building can produce it, which can only mean that it is truly the wealthiest Nascent Soul force in the Canglan Sea Region.

No wonder it can maintain a neutral position in the Canglan Sea Region.

It's not that the Mysterious Treasure Building is good at dealing with people from all sides.

Even if you are a good person, if others don't give face, they still won't give face.

Only strength, powerful strength, will earn the respect of other forces.

Obviously, the Mysterious Treasure Building is such a powerful Nascent Soul force that many Nascent Soul sects have to give face.

"If that's the case, then won't these Nascent Soul cultivators start fighting?"

Shen Biqian immediately thought of this.

Previously, many Nascent Soul cultivators coexisted peacefully in this sea area, working together to decipher the peripheral formations of the Soul Formation ruins.

But now, the peripheral formations have been deciphered.

This means that everyone can enter the ruins to obtain treasures, and a big battle may be imminent.

And this peaceful sea area may be completely plunged into chaos.

"Yes, this sea area is about to descend into chaos. I have decided to activate the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Formation to seal off the Sanxing Island Group."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

What?!

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuxi and the others were shocked. They didn't expect their husband to make such a decision.

Because once the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Formation is activated, it is equivalent to sealing off the sect.

The cultivators inside cannot leave.

Of course, the cultivators outside cannot enter either.

This is a decision made only in a life-or-death situation for the Nascent Soul forces.

However, there are also many benefits to doing so.

If the Rank Four High Grade Formation is activated and this sea area is sealed off, it would be almost impossible for anyone with ill intentions to invade the Three Star Island Group.

This would ensure the safety of the three major sects to the greatest extent.

But there are also many disadvantages.

One is that it will inevitably drive away many cultivators and interrupt trade, resulting in significant losses.

However, Leng Yuxi and the others also understand their husband's thoughts. The chaotic battles among Nascent Soul cultivators can easily affect the Three Star Island Group.

If some Nascent Soul cultivators accidentally intrude, it would definitely pose a huge threat.

So instead of waiting for these Nascent Soul cultivators to invade the Three Star Island Group, it is better to directly activate the formation and seal it off.

In this way, it can be considered as being prepared for the future.

"Husband, I understand."

"I will give the order immediately to seal the island within three days."

"But what about the teleportation array?"

Leng Yuxi asked.

"The teleportation array doesn't matter, just leave it be."

"I believe no enemy would dare to use the teleportation array to intrude into our territory."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

"Good."

Leng Yuxi nodded.

In a short time, the news of the impending island sealing spread throughout the entire Xianxia City, known by countless cultivators.

This also caused a huge uproar.

"What did you say? Xianxia City is going to seal the island?"

"Within three days, if cultivators don't leave, they won't be allowed to leave for at least ten years?!"

Upon hearing this, many cultivators were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe the news they heard.

"That's right, this is the order of the Nascent Soul Ancestor."

"In three days, our Three Star Island Group will be sealed off."

"All trade activities will be temporarily suspended for at least ten years, and it may continue to be extended."

"If you don't want to stay here for ten years, you must leave within three days."

"Otherwise, even if you want to leave later, it will be impossible."

An Azure Wood Sect cultivator replied, conveying the order of the Nascent Soul Ancestor to many cultivators.

"How could this happen? Everything was fine, why suddenly seal the island?"

"Don't you know? Something big happened at the Soul Formation Ruins, and the outer prohibition formation was opened."

"Next, there will probably be a chaotic battle among Nascent Soul cultivators."

"Perhaps Xianxia City is worried that the Nascent Soul battle will affect them, so they sealed the island in advance."

"This is too cautious."

"But it has to be said that Xianxia City's approach is indeed correct. If it really affects the Three Star Island Group, it will be too late, and no one knows how many people will die."

"Since this is the order of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, I'm afraid no one can disobey. I wonder what your decision is?"

"Of course, I will stay. The Three Star Island Group is so big, it can completely sustain itself. I can stay here quietly and cultivate for ten years, which is not a bad idea."

"To be honest, I don't want to be trapped here for ten years. This is just a stopover for me. I still want to go to other places for adventures. I'd better leave as soon as possible."

Many cultivators discussed among themselves.

Obviously, some cultivators wanted to stay, while others wanted to leave.

Different cultivators have different ideas.

In a short time, a large number of cultivators quickly used the teleportation array to leave the Three Star Island Group, or piloted flying boats to leave.

The once bustling Xianxia City lost at least seventy percent of its cultivators.

Only thirty percent of the cultivators remained.

Of course, for Zhou Sui, this was completely sufficient.

Three days later.

The cultivators who were supposed to leave had already left.

The remaining cultivators were basically planning to stay in the Three Star Island Group and share the same fate as Xianxia City.

In an instant, Zhou Sui decisively activated the Rank Four High Grade Formation, the Xuan Yin Heavy Water Formation.

He didn't care about the thoughts of the remaining cultivators.

As long as they didn't leave now, it meant they had made their decision.

Boom!

A huge barrier enveloped the sea area of the Three Star Island Group.

Endless heavy water formations emerged.

Like a huge water sphere, it covered the sea area of the Three Star Island Group for a radius of two hundred thousand miles, without any blind spots, completely wrapping it up.

No cultivator, no living being, can leave this sea area without Zhou Sui's permission.

If they forcefully intrude, they will be devoured by the heavy water formations, leaving no trace, turning into nothingness.

It can be said that this sea area has become an independent small world.

"Amazing, is this the state when the Rank Four Formation is fully activated?"

"It's really powerful."

Xia Jingyan widened her beautiful eyes, perceiving the situation of the surrounding formation, feeling immensely shocked in her heart.

Currently, she was only a Rank Two High Grade Formation Master, and she didn't know how far away she was from becoming a Rank Four Formation Master.

But that didn't prevent her from understanding just how profound and unfathomable this formation was.

"Isn't that right?"

"With this formation fully activated, even a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator wouldn't dare to forcefully break through."

Leng Yuxi sighed.

She now somewhat understood why Rank Four formations were the foundation of Nascent Soul forces that had remained undefeated for thousands of years.

Any Nascent Soul force, even if it fell into decline, as long as they activated a Rank Four formation, it would be difficult for other Nascent Soul cultivators to attack and they would be completely invincible.

"That's right, no one would dare to forcefully break through."

"Even the formation at the headquarters of my Heavenly Demon Sect is nothing compared to this."

Chu Dieyi also nodded.

Although she had never seen the activation of the Heavenly Demon Sect's formation, she had seen pigs run even if she hadn't eaten pork.

She could sense the power of this Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation, which was definitely beyond imagination.

"Husband, how did you manage to do this?"

"It is said that maintaining the operation of a Rank Four formation requires a large number of Formation Masters to maintain it."

"But so far, it seems that Husband doesn't need any Formation Masters to help maintain it."

Lin Yazhu looked at Zhou Sui with great curiosity.

Because ordinary Nascent Soul forces needed Formation Masters to help maintain their Rank Four formations, constantly monitoring each formation node to prevent any accidents.

Once an accident or damage occurred, it would be repaired immediately.

Otherwise, the formation would easily reveal flaws and be deciphered by other cultivators.

But this Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation, from beginning to end, was only maintained by Zhou Sui alone.

There was no need for other Formation Masters to intervene, which was truly unimaginable.

"Well, this is a secret."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly, not intending to explain anything. He didn't need to explain everything to his Dao companion, and maintaining a sense of mystery was not a big deal.

The reason he was able to do this was naturally because of the power of the Formation Heart Gu.

Due to the invasion of the Formation Heart Gu, a formation spirit was born in this formation.

In this way, the formation evolved from the industrial age to the intelligent age.

Previous formations still required manual guardianship.

But now, the formation spirit could operate automatically, repair itself automatically, and give automatic warnings, without the need for manual intervention.

Who knows how much manpower and resources have been saved.

Compared to other Nascent Soul forces, his mastery of formation techniques was many times more advanced.

Of course, now that the Formation Heart Gu had entered the Soul Formation relic of the Withering Glory Sect, it was constantly attempting to invade and assimilate that massive Rank Five formation.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the outer formation has been deciphered.

But how could the Rank Five formation in the Soul Formation relic be so simple?

The true core formation array has not been revealed.

Therefore, he concluded that the actions of those Nascent Soul cultivators would not go so smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that in order to prevent the battles of those Nascent Soul forces from affecting this place, he activated the Profound Yin Heavy Water Formation in advance, completely sealing off this sea area, so that no Nascent Soul cultivator could enter.

After all, this period of time is crucial for him.

Soon, he will be able to cultivate to the peak of the Gold Core stage, and even begin to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Naturally, he does not want any unexpected incidents to occur.

Although sealing off this sea area will cause a significant loss of income for Xianxia City, it is not a big deal at all.

Once he becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator, all losses can be made up for.

..........

Of course, the events that occurred in the Sanxing Island Group naturally cannot be concealed from the outside cultivators.

Especially those Nascent Soul forces.

Each and every one of them was surprised and unexpected about this matter.

"What? Xianxia City has sealed off the sea area of the Sanxing Island Group? No cultivators are allowed in or out?"

Some people were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe why such a thing would happen.

"Is the Sect Master of Azure Wood Sect completely crazy? Is there a need to be so nervous?"

Some people were speechless.

Naturally, they regarded Lin Yazhu as the sole owner of Xianxia City. After all, she was the owner of the Sanxing Island Group and the only Nascent Soul cultivator, so she naturally had control over this sea area.

Basically, they regarded this matter as Lin Yazhu's order.

They did not expect it to be someone else's decision.

After all, according to the conventions of the cultivation world, it has always been higher-level cultivators giving orders to lower-level cultivators. There is no reason for a lower-level cultivator to give orders to a higher-level cultivator.

"I guess they are afraid that the changes in the Soul Formation ruins will affect the Sanxing Island Group."

"Tsk tsk, the Sect Master of Azure Wood Sect is really timid. It's surprising that she is a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"No, no, no, it's not like that. This is just expressing her attitude, indicating that she doesn't intend to get involved in this matter."

"That's true too. A cultivator who has just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage naturally doesn't have the strength to get involved in the Soul Formation ruins. In a sense, this is also a way of self-preservation."

"It must be said that as an Independent Cultivator Nascent Soul, being able to grow to this level today is indeed quite impressive."

"Being cautious is also a good thing. I don't know how many cultivators have died due to carelessness. We have been cultivating for hundreds of years, so we naturally cannot perish due to carelessness."

"Let it go, let it go. This matter has nothing to do with us. These are the Soul Formation ruins, and who knows how many treasures are inside. We absolutely cannot miss out on them."

"You're right, this is a huge opportunity for us. We shouldn't pay attention to the Sect Master of Azure Wood Sect."

Many Nascent Soul cultivators discussed among themselves.

They were also very surprised by the choice made by Xianxia City. They did not expect the other party to be so decisive.

But soon, they shifted their focus to the Soul Formation ruins.

As the outer restrictions and formations were broken, a large number of cultivators began to explore this island.

If they were a step behind, the treasures inside might be taken away.
