Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 65: Foundation Building Cultivators' Battle with the Nascent Soul Spirit Object

Night fell, enveloping the city in darkness.

Just as Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan were having dinner, they suddenly felt intense waves of battle emanating from the entire Misty Cloud City.

The entire city trembled, accompanied by screams, wails, and curses.

Even such terrifying waves quickly spread towards the outskirts of the city.

"What's going on? How can there be Foundation Building cultivators fighting?" Zhou Sui's pupils contracted.

He could sense the horrifying battle waves, and if he were to encounter them, there was a high probability that he would die without a doubt.

After all, he was only a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Facing Foundation Building cultivators was still insignificant, unable to withstand a single blow.

To be honest, this was the first time he had sensed the terrifying combat power of Foundation Building cultivators. It was not something that Qi Refining cultivators could compare to; the difference in strength between the two was too great.

"Husband, perhaps it's related to the auction today. It is said that the finale of the Xuanbao Tower's auction was a Nascent Soul spirit object. Many Foundation Building cultivators went crazy bidding for it, and the price soared to millions of low-grade spirit stones."

"Although this Nascent Soul spirit object was eventually auctioned off by a successful Foundation Building cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect, other Foundation Building cultivators obviously didn't accept it and secretly planned to take action."

"After all, this is a spirit object that can form a Nascent Soul. It concerns the Dao path, and even if the other party is a cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect, there is no room for mercy."

Ji Bingyu inquired and learned some information. She said that after they left, the auction continued to have items sold at sky-high prices.

Even compared to high-quality Foundation Building Pills, they were still insignificant.

After all, Foundation Building Pills only had an effect on Qi Refining stage cultivators and were nothing to Foundation Building cultivators.

"A Nascent Soul spirit object? It's even more precious than Foundation Building Pills. No wonder these Foundation Building cultivators are fighting so fiercely."

Zhou Sui suddenly realized.

He was also extremely grateful that he left in time and didn't foolishly stay in place.

If he had still been at the auction site, he didn't know what would have happened.

It seemed that he had to dig underground and build an underground fortress.

Otherwise, when Foundation Building cultivators really attacked Misty Cloud City, he would have nowhere to hide.

Fortunately, one of his clones had already brought back a hundred Gold Devouring Worms, and he could start digging underground caves at any time.

"Let's begin."

That night, Zhou Sui immediately ordered the Gold Devouring Worms to start digging tunnels in his backyard.

Suddenly, one Gold Devouring Worm after another began devouring the soil. They were like demonic beasts digging tunnels, easily devouring large amounts of soil into their stomachs.

A tunnel that could accommodate a person's body began to be excavated.

Following that, hundreds of Gold Devouring Worms continued to delve deeper and deeper underground.

Their efficiency was even more impressive than that of excavators.

Zhou Sui believed that in a few days, he would be able to dig a deep enough underground cave in his home.

By then, even if Foundation Building cultivators arrived, they would never be able to find him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's heart immediately felt much more at ease.

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

Several days later.

"Husband, I've figured out what happened a few days ago. The Nascent Soul spirit object auctioned by the Xuanbao Tower was the Icefire Spirit Liquid, worth over a million low-grade spirit stones. It was obtained by Leng Yuxi, the junior sect master of the Immortal Mist Sect."

Ji Bingyu revealed the information she had gathered. "However, when she tried to leave Misty Cloud City and return to the Immortal Mist Sect, she unexpectedly encountered a group of unfamiliar Foundation Building cultivators who ambushed her. The two sides fought fiercely. In the end, Leng Yuxi had the upper hand and managed to escape, while the group of unfamiliar independent cultivators failed in their attempt."

"Who is Leng Yuxi, the Junior Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect? What is her background?" Zhou Sui asked curiously.

After all, he was just a low-level cultivator in Misty Cloud City, not very familiar with ordinary cultivators, let alone those at the level of Foundation Building cultivators.

He was basically clueless about these well-known figures.

"Leng Yuxi is extraordinary. It is said that she is only eighty years old, but her cultivation has already reached the peak of Foundation Building. She also possesses a first-grade spiritual root, a terrifying talent second only to the Heaven Spiritual Root," Ji Bingyu said in a deep voice. "At the same time, she is also the daughter of the Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, hailed as a genius seen once every five hundred years in the sect. If she can successfully form her Core, she will become the next Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect."

"With her talent and cultivation, if she obtains the corresponding Core Formation spiritual materials, her success rate in forming her Core will be at least seventy percent. By then, the Immortal Mist Sect will become a sect with three Gold Cores," she sighed. Such a woman could be called the pride of heaven.

Not only did she possess top-tier talent from birth, but she also had an astonishing background, with endless resources and a smooth cultivation path, never encountering any difficulties.

Such a person was called the saintess of the sect, enviable by others.

"Just eighty years old, and she's already a peak Foundation Building cultivator? And with a first-grade spiritual root? Truly a genius," Zhou Sui marveled.

He knew how difficult it was for Foundation Building cultivators to cultivate. Even the Patriarch of the Lu Family in Misty Cloud City, who was over two hundred years old, was only in the late stage of Foundation Building.

It was almost impossible to successfully form a Core at this stage.

But this Leng Yuxi, at the age of eighty, had already reached the peak of Foundation Building.

If such a genius couldn't form her Core, then no one could.

"However, those unknown Foundation Building cultivators are probably not simple either. They dared to ambush the Junior Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, which is tantamount to being enemies with the Immortal Mist Sect. Would ordinary cultivators dare to do such a thing?" Zhou Sui instinctively realized that this matter was not as simple as he had imagined.

After all, Leng Yuxi was not just an ordinary peak Foundation Building cultivator; she had two Gold Core cultivators standing behind her.

Provoking the Immortal Mist Sect would undoubtedly have dire consequences.

"That's right, I also think so. There must be some inside information behind this matter. Perhaps other sects have personally taken action, wanting to kill the Junior Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect," Ji Bingyu said.

"After all, no one wants to see the Immortal Mist Sect give birth to another Gold Core cultivator."

"If Leng Yuxi really becomes a Gold Core cultivator, then the Immortal Mist Sect will prosper for another five hundred years."

Zhou Sui's heart stirred. "Could it be the work of the Shadow Demon Sect?"

"I'm not sure, but based on the information my husband mentioned before, it is very likely that the Shadow Demon Sect is involved."

"Perhaps there are also other sects behind this."

"But no matter what, if it is really the case, then Misty Cloud City will soon be in chaos."

"Misty Cloud City may also become the center of a war between the two major sects."

Ji Bingyu said with concern.

"Don't worry, isn't everything we've done in the past few months to prevent such a situation?" Zhou Sui reassured her.

Over the past few months, he had spent a large amount of spirit stones to purchase more than ten years' worth of spiritual rice and demon beast meat.

These food items were stored in the Divine Gu Bowl.

Once a war really broke out, he could hide in the underground cave. Even if he stayed hidden for more than ten years, there would be no problem.

He didn't believe that a war between the two sects would really last for ten years.
