Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 457: Immortal World Plant - Bay Laurel Tree, Tree of Immortality, Main Material for the Spring and Autumn Gu

Half a day later.

The news of Zhou Sui's arrival was quickly known by many Jade Rabbit cultivators in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm, causing a great uproar. After all, this was the first outsider to enter the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm in countless years.

It could be said to be an unprecedented event.

"He's gone mad, the clan leader has completely gone mad."

"To actually let an outsider enter the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm, this is trying to harm our Jade Rabbit Race."

Some of the Jade Rabbit elders were extremely anxious, feeling that this act would surely bring disaster to the Jade Rabbit Race.

Originally, the Jade Rabbit Race was already very weak, not even having Mahayana cultivators.

If it weren't for the power of the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm, they wouldn't have survived until today.

If this outsider were to spread the news of the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm, then the Jade Rabbit Race would be completely finished.

"It is said that that guy is a Body Integration Cultivator from the human race, the leader's lover."

"That man is indeed extraordinarily handsome, like a celestial being descending to the mortal world."

"The clan leader has been enchanted by his beauty, losing the ability to judge right from wrong, and has lost his sanity."

Another Jade Rabbit elder gritted his teeth.

It completely regarded Zhou Sui as a fox spirit, a male fox spirit that specifically causes trouble in the world, with the purpose of harming the Jade Rabbit Race.

Perhaps the Jade Rabbit Race would be harmed by this despicable man.

"Ah, the clan leader has been single for many years, always immersed in bitter cultivation, rarely interacting with the opposite sex."

"Where have we seen such a male fox spirit before? With a little manipulation, I'm afraid the clan leader will be completely infatuated."

"This is a disaster for our Jade Rabbit Race."

Many Jade Rabbit elders were worried.

They didn't know what to do, after all, Yu Xian'er was the strongest of the Jade Rabbit Race, holding absolute power.

Who would dare to say anything to Yu Xian'er?

Even if someone did say something, the other party wouldn't pay any attention.

"Then what are we waiting for, immediately drive away this human cultivator."

"This is our Jade Rabbit Race's territory, we absolutely cannot allow outsiders to come here."

"If the clan leader tries to stop us, then we will remonstrate with him."

A Jade Rabbit Race elder gritted his teeth, completely determined.

No matter what, they must stop this man, otherwise the disaster of extinction is right in front of them.

"But, Elder, that human cultivator also gave us a betrothal gift."

A weak Jade Rabbit Race female cultivator said softly.

"What nonsense betrothal gift, immediately return it to him."

"No matter what betrothal gift it is, he can't marry our Jade Rabbit Race leader."

The Jade Rabbit Race elder grumbled.

It felt that the human had completely lost his mind, really thinking that money could buy them.

"But this betrothal gift is really heavy."

"He gave one million Immortal Crystals, one thousand Low Grade Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasures, ten Middle Grade Heaven-Connecting Spiritual Treasures."

"In addition, there are several Rank Five Spirit Medicines, three hundred Rank Six Spirit Medicines, and thirty Rank Seven Spirit Medicines."

"And various other treasures."

The Jade Rabbit Race female cultivator took out a storage bag from her body, filled with the betrothal gifts Zhou Sui had given.

Of course, for Zhou Sui, these treasures were just a drop in the bucket.

Over the years, he had killed countless cultivators from other races.

The number of treasures he obtained from them was quite astonishing.

It was enough to accumulate for tens of thousands of years for a small race.

What?!

When this was said, many Jade Rabbit Race elders were dumbfounded, unable to believe what they were seeing in the storage bag. They couldn't say a word.

If the Jade Rabbit Race was still the True Spirit race of the past, these treasures would definitely be nothing.

But now things were different from the past.

The Jade Rabbit Race was no longer the True Spirit race of the past, it was just a small and weak race.

They didn't even have a few Body Integration Cultivators.

This betrothal gift was already enough to drive many Jade Rabbit Race elders completely crazy.

Even if they accumulated for tens of thousands of years, it would be impossible to obtain so many treasures.

It could be said that this grand gift had completely overwhelmed them.

"It is said that the reason the clan leader agreed to become the human cultivator's Dao companion."

"Is also because the human cultivator gave him a Rank Eight Treasure Pill - the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill."

"This Rank Eight Treasure Pill can help the clan leader step into Mahayana."

The weak Jade Rabbit Race female cultivator said softly.

This news was like a meteor crashing into a calm lake, causing endless waves.

The defensive lines in the hearts of many elders had been shattered.

A Rank Eight Treasure Pill was truly a huge deal.

And it wasn't just an ordinary Rank Eight Treasure Pill, it was a Treasure Pill that could help a Body Integration expert advance to Mahayana.

If it were them, they would probably go completely crazy.

After all, this was an opportunity to advance to the Mahayana realm, who would be willing to give up such a chance?

If such a Rank Eight Treasure Pill were placed outside, it would probably cause a war among Mahayana cultivators.

How many female cultivators are willing to offer themselves as a pillow?

No wonder the clan leader is willing to marry this human cultivator. He is really rich.

He is incredibly wealthy.

"Cough cough, Elder, I think that human cultivator is indeed quite good."

"He has outstanding looks, extraordinary demeanor, and immense wealth. He is indeed a suitable match for the clan leader."

"I was shallow just now, I couldn't see the kind nature of Fellow Daoist Zhou."

"It was my oversight, I couldn't recognize the true talent."

An elder of the Jade Rabbit Race stood with hands behind his back, speaking with a sigh.

"This."

The female cultivator of the Jade Rabbit Race beside him had a strange expression. She had previously wanted to tear the human cultivator into pieces, but in the blink of an eye, she could see his kind nature. The change was too fast.

The Jade Rabbit Race elder blushed slightly, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the human cultivator was so wealthy.

Now the Jade Rabbit Race is so poor that only rabbits are left.

A Rank Eight Treasure Pill, even if the entire Jade Rabbit Race were bundled together, couldn't be sold for such a price.

How could anyone possibly be interested in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm?

Although the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm does have some mystical qualities and can protect the Jade Rabbit Race for millions of years, it is only so for the True Spirit races.

Truly powerful races would not be interested in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm.

They don't need any place of refuge.

With their strength, who would dare to invade their territory?

Unless the other party wanted to die.

So it was absolutely impossible for the human cultivator to have any ill intentions towards the Jade Rabbit Race.

It's like a billionaire would never be interested in a poor person's assets.

The same principle applies now.

"Isn't that right? The clan leader has a discerning eye and can recognize talent."

"I've been telling you all along, the clan leader is wise and heroic, unmatched in wisdom. How could he be deceived?"

"Cough cough, to be honest, I suspect that the human cultivator won't be the one deceived by the clan leader. I feel like the clan leader used her beauty to deceive the man and took all his wealth, leaving him infatuated and disoriented."

"Shut up, how can you call that deception? It was consensual. Isn't the clan leader worth that price?"

"Indeed, the clan leader is our Jade Rabbit Race's number one beauty, naturally priceless."

Many elders of the Jade Rabbit Race were discussing among themselves.

They had strange expressions on their faces.

Clearly, they highly doubted that it was the clan leader who was deceived, but rather the human cultivator who was deceived by the clan leader. Otherwise, how could he have taken out a Rank Eight Treasure Pill, which is a Mahayana opportunity?

Who would be willing to give up such an opportunity unless they had gone mad?

"By the way, where is Fellow Daoist Zhou? Let him come and meet us."

Elder Dazhang immediately said, "Since you know that Zhou Sui is a scapegoat, your attitude naturally changes, and you even feel great pity for Zhou Sui."

A powerful Body Integration cultivator like him was deceived by the clan leader and crippled.

He even willingly contributed the Rank Eight Treasure Pill.

But even so, it wants to meet the other party and see what kind of person this man really is.

"Yes, I will immediately inform Mr. Zhou to come over," the Jade Rabbit Race maid said immediately.

Not long after, Zhou Sui arrived upon hearing the news and immediately saw many Jade Rabbit Race elders, both male and female. Basically, the high-level members of the Jade Rabbit Race were all present in this place.

But the current Jade Rabbit Race only had one hundred Body Integration cultivators left. This was the entirety of the Jade Rabbit Race's elite force.

And there were no Mahayana cultivators.

They were even weaker than the Human Race of the past.

"Fellow Daoists," Zhou Sui smiled slightly, like a gentle breeze, and greeted the many Jade Rabbit Race cultivators.

What?! Many Jade Rabbit elders were instantly dumbfounded. Although they had just learned from the maid that this human cultivator was indeed exceptionally handsome, like a celestial being descending to the mortal realm.

But now, upon seeing him, he was even more handsome than described, with an otherworldly temperament and outstanding appearance.

They felt that he was even more beautiful than the clan leader, as if he had been favored by heaven and earth.

For some reason, upon seeing Zhou Sui, they immediately felt a strong fondness for him.

As if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.

All the previous dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

This was the charm that Zhou Sui possessed, like a golden-haired and jade-faced fox, able to enchant the world, regardless of gender or race.

"How can this human cultivator be so handsome?"

"Not only that, he is also young. It seems that this human cultivator is currently only a little over a thousand years old, not even reaching two thousand years."

"He's a monster. He's already in the mid-stage of Body Integration at just a little over a thousand years old?! What a heaven-defying genius."

"The clan leader is really taking advantage of his seniority. He must have used some means to bewitch this man into this appearance."

"Ah, the clan leader is so evil. Compared to him, we're all old ancestors. And yet, he still managed to get his hands on him."

"Not only that, he even deceived him of his Rank Eight Treasure Pill, both physically and mentally."

"This guy is simply foolish and wealthy."

Many Jade Rabbit elders secretly communicated with their divine senses, discussing one after another, all of them dumbfounded.

Previously, they thought that this man must have been attracted by the clan leader's beauty and was deceived by it.

But now, it was the clan leader who was attracted to this handsome man. They didn't know what means he used to get this handsome man.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, welcome to the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm."

Elder Dazhang of the Jade Rabbit Race looked kindly at Zhou Sui. He had completely regarded this human man as a wealthy young master who was foolish and had too much money, the kind of person who had been deceived by his own family head and ended up crippled.

For such a low-intelligence and wealthy human cultivator, he was still very welcome.

Obviously, this situation was very advantageous for Zhou Sui. He quickly became the most welcomed guest of the Jade Rabbit Race.

During these few days, he had visited the entire Jade Rabbit Secret Realm under the guidance of many elders of the Jade Rabbit Race.

Overall, the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm was a huge planet with a diameter of ten million kilometers.

The Jade Rabbit Race lived on the surface of the planet.

Plants grew lushly everywhere, surrounded by dense forests, full of vitality.

The number of Jade Rabbits was also countless.

Because their reproductive ability was too strong.

It was precisely because of this that the Jade Rabbit Race occasionally needed to exile a large number of their people to the Spirit World, allowing them to survive or perish on their own. Only the elite could stay in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm.

However, for Zhou Sui, the most precious thing in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm was a plant from the Immortal World called the laurel tree.

"This is the sacred tree of our Jade Rabbit Race, the laurel tree."

"It was left behind by the former True Spirit Taiyin Jade Rabbit."

"It is also known as the immortal tree or the tree of longevity, containing infinite mysteries."

Elder Dazhang of the Jade Rabbit Race proudly introduced.

In front of Zhou Sui appeared a laurel tree that was five hundred zhang tall. Its branches reached the sky, its leaves were lush, and auspicious clouds surrounded it, full of vitality and containing boundless life force.

Faintly, there were densely packed immortal symbols floating on its trunk, as if containing a book of the Dao of longevity.

"This..."

Zhou Sui's pupils contracted when he saw this laurel tree. His heart was filled with shock and waves. This was undoubtedly a divine tree no less than the Parasol Tree and the Evergreen Immortal Vine from the Immortal World.

He could sense the immense longevity biomass contained within the laurel tree, as well as the boundless life force.

Of course, his shock was not because of this Immortal World plant.

But because of the immortal laurel flowers growing on the laurel tree, which were one of the main ingredients for refining the Spring and Autumn Gu.

He never expected that he would find the main ingredient for refining the Spring and Autumn Gu in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm. It was truly unimaginable.

Once the Spring and Autumn Gu was refined, one would possess the power of time and be able to live forever.

When he had just obtained the Divine Gu Bowl in the past, his first thought was to refine the Spring and Autumn Gu.

But he knew that it was basically impossible to achieve this.

Because the materials for refining the Spring and Autumn Gu were extremely difficult to find.

There were a total of three main materials needed.

The first one was the immortal laurel flowers on the laurel tree, containing majestic longevity biomass and extending one's lifespan.

The second one was the Heavenly Longevity Fruit, which could seize longevity from the heavens. Consuming one Heavenly Longevity Fruit could grant another lifetime.

The third one was the Backtracking Flower, a miraculous flower of heaven and earth with the ability to rewind time. Once it reached midnight, it could rewind to its previous state, regardless of the injuries it had suffered, returning to the state of midnight.

Without a doubt, all three materials mentioned above are rare materials between heaven and earth. They are something that the former Qi Refining self could never obtain.

Originally, he had completely given up on refining the Spring and Autumn Gu, but he didn't expect to find the laurel tree here. It was like finding something without any effort.

As long as he obtained the immortal laurel flower, it would be equivalent to obtaining one-third of the materials. This also meant that he had taken a big step forward in refining the Spring and Autumn Gu.

"Why hasn't it grown laurel flowers?" Zhou Sui curiously asked, looking at the Elder of the Jade Rabbit Race.

He could sense that the laurel tree seemed far from reaching maturity and was still in its infancy.

"There's no way, the growth cycle of the laurel tree is just too long."

"It is calculated in units of billions of years."

"Although it has appeared in our Jade Rabbit Secret Realm for several billion years."

"But compared to the age of the laurel tree, it's only two or three years old."

"It will take at least tens of billions of years for it to truly reach maturity and give birth to the immortal laurel flower," the Elder of the Jade Rabbit Race said helplessly.

Originally, the True Spirit Taiyin Jade Rabbit left the laurel tree to provide a strong foundation for the Jade Rabbit Race.

If they had the assistance of the laurel tree, even if they lost the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, the Jade Rabbit Race would still be a True Spirit race.

In terms of strength, they would be no weaker than other True Spirit races, incredibly powerful.

Who could have expected that the growth cycle of the laurel tree would be so long?

Even after billions of years, it was still in its infancy.

At the rate of decline of the Jade Rabbit Race, it was afraid that they would not be able to witness the growth of the Jade Rabbit Race.

Perhaps the laurel tree had not grown up yet, and the Jade Rabbit Race would be completely finished.

"To be honest, our Jade Rabbit Race's reproductive ability was not originally so strong."

"But the laurel tree has yet to grow."

"As our Jade Rabbit Race continues to reproduce, the bloodline within us becomes thinner."

"The thinner the bloodline, the stronger the reproductive ability, but the lower the aptitude of the offspring."

"This has already formed a vicious cycle," said a Jade Rabbit Elder helplessly.

If the laurel tree were to grow completely and be able to give birth to the immortal laurel flower, by consuming the immortal laurel flower and the wood chips, it would enhance the bloodline within the Jade Rabbits.

This would make every Jade Rabbit contain a rich Taiyin Jade Rabbit bloodline.

And the stronger the bloodline of the Jade Rabbit, the lower their reproductive ability, perhaps only able to give birth to one or two offspring.

But for the Jade Rabbit Race, this would actually be a good thing.

Because a truly powerful race doesn't actually need so many members.

Quality is far more important than quantity.

A Mahayana cultivator is enough to crush millions of Qi Refining cultivators.

The two are simply incomparable.

"Isn't that right? If the laurel tree were to fully grow, then every member of our Jade Rabbit Race would have incredibly strong bloodlines, and there wouldn't be so many of us."

"At least the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm can accommodate a large population."

"It's not like it is now, where those who can't be accommodated have to be sent away."

Another elder of the Jade Rabbit Race sighed.

If the ancient ancestors of the Jade Rabbit Race knew about their current situation, they would probably be furious.

When did the dignified True Spirit race become like this?

It's truly a disgrace to the Jade Rabbit.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. Who made the laurel tree grow so slowly?

"The laurel tree?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, but he was actually quite excited, feeling that this was his chance.

The Jade Rabbit Race can't shorten the time it takes for the laurel tree to mature, but he can do it.

As long as he uses the power of the Medicine Gu, he can quickly make the laurel tree fully mature, and then give birth to the immortal laurel flowers.

He can even give birth to new seeds of the laurel tree and transplant it to the Mysterious Yellow World or the Thousand Wonders Secret Realm.

In any case, this way, he can obtain this plant from the Immortal World.

After all, the legendary laurel tree is known as the tree of immortality and longevity.

Its wood chips, leaves, laurel flowers, etc., are all known as the essence of hundreds of medicines, containing immense life substances and longevity substances. After taking them, one can easily extend their lifespan.

Once the Human Race has the laurel tree, they will no longer be a short-lived species and can all become long-lived.

Whether it's for the Human Race or for his Dao companion, the laurel tree is crucial.

"No need to rush, let's get familiar with the Jade Rabbit Race first."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly. For him, the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm has long been within his grasp.

With the help of the Dream Soul Gu, he can freely come and go in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm.

Because the Rank Eight Dream Soul Gu can manipulate the environment and memories at will, as long as he wishes, no one can discover him approaching the laurel tree, or even taking away the immortal laurel flowers.

At the same time, he has also left the coordinates of the Teleportation Gu in the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm.

Even after leaving, he can return at any time.

Now the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm is his territory, and he can come and go without any worries.

"It's okay, maybe the laurel tree will mature soon."

At this moment, Zhou Sui comforted.

"Ah, it's not that simple. We'll have to wait for at least several billion years. We won't be able to witness that scene."

"But I'll still take your kind words." Elder Jade Rabbit shook his head.

You see, this is a divine tree from the Immortal World. It's not something that can mature just by saying so.

If it were that simple, they would have already ripened the laurel tree long ago, instead of waiting until now with no changes whatsoever.

I estimate that even in the Immortal World, the laurel tree cannot mature so quickly.

Of course, it wouldn't know that Zhou Sui actually possesses a miraculous Medicine Gu like this.

Boom~~~

Just at this moment, the entire Jade Rabbit Secret Realm suddenly rumbled and produced a tremendous vibration. Ripples of void appeared, and the sky suddenly cracked open, revealing cracks in the void.

Immediately after, a massive black calamity cloud surged out, spreading rapidly throughout the Jade Rabbit Secret Realm, forming a thick and massive calamity cloud.

Faintly, it seemed that the Five Elements Calamity Thunder was emerging, emitting a terrifying aura.

"Wait, could this be the legendary Mahayana Thunder Tribulation?"

A Jade Rabbit Race elder looked up, dumbfounded, hardly daring to believe what he saw.

Although it had seen scenes of the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation in the classics, it had never witnessed it before.

Because in the past million years, hardly any Jade Rabbit Race cultivators have been able to trigger the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation.

Now, it was truly the first time in a million years.

"No way, could it be triggered by the clan leader?"

"But this is too fast, it's only been a few days in seclusion."

Many Jade Rabbit Race elders were simply incredulous.

They originally thought that Yu Xian'er would need at least several months to trigger the Thunder Tribulation.

But who could have expected that it would only take a few days to trigger the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation? It was truly unimaginable.

"It's normal."

"The clan leader has astonishing talent and possesses the bloodline of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit."

"And with profound accumulation and immeasurable foundation, she even obtained a Rank Eight Treasure Pill."

"Now it's just a matter of thick accumulation and thin release, it's nothing at all."

"But the clan leader's urgency to trigger the Mahayana Thunder Tribulation is probably because her foundation is too profound. The arrow is on the string and has to be released, but this is also a good thing."

Elder Jade Rabbit was overjoyed.

It looked at Zhou Sui with deep gratitude. If it weren't for this human cultivator gifting a Rank Eight Treasure Pill, Yu Xian'er wouldn't have been able to advance to Mahayana and trigger the Thunder Tribulation so quickly.

It can only be said that this human is indeed a benefactor of the Jade Rabbit Race and also the benefactor of the clan leader.

Perhaps the Jade Rabbit Race will also begin to revive from today onwards.

"It is indeed a good thing."

Zhou Sui also nodded. He originally thought he would need to wait for some time, but now it seems that there's no need to waste so much effort.
