Chapter 112: Rank Two High Grade Spirit Vein, Settling in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range

One month later.

After a month of continuous excavation by a hundred Gold Devouring Worms day and night, a underground tunnel that stretched hundreds of miles deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was finally opened.

Zhou Sui, Mu Ziyan, Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Leng Yuxi quickly left Misty Cloud City through this underground tunnel to evade pursuit from the cultivators of the Shadow Demon Sect.

After spending a day or two, they finally arrived deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At the same time, Zhou Sui ordered the Gold Devouring Worms to bury the underground tunnel.

This way, even if someone were to notice the traces of the tunnel, they would not be able to find them through it.

It can be said that until now, he had finally escaped the threat of the Shadow Demon Sect.

There was no longer a need to worry about this demonic sect being harmful to him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Suddenly, Zhou Sui and the others emerged from the underground cave. They found themselves in a valley surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, unable to see anything beyond ten zhang.

"Husband, is this the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?" Ji Bingyu curiously looked around. It was her first time seeing such an unfamiliar environment.

"That's right," Zhou Sui nodded. "The Cloud Mist Mountain Range is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The deeper you go, the denser the fog becomes, making it almost impossible to see anything beyond ten zhang.

Occasionally, there would even be poisonous gas, miasma entwined within the fog. If an ordinary cultivator is not careful, they would inhale the poisonous gas and die from poisoning.

What's even more terrifying is that there are a large number of demonic beasts living in the mountains. One must be constantly cautious of attacks from other demonic beasts, so cultivators generally do not dare to venture deep into the mountains."

To be honest, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is extremely dangerous.

Not only are there a large number of powerful demonic beasts, but there is also a lot of toxic fog and gas. For an ordinary cultivator to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is basically risking their life.

It was only with the help of the Gold Devouring Worms that he was able to shuttle through the underground.

This was how he avoided being attacked by a large number of demonic beasts.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range so easily.

Of course, this also proves the safety of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Even if the Shadow Demon Sect's army were to invade the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they would suffer heavy casualties.

It is a natural barrier.

"Husband, there seems to be a Rank Two High Grade Spirit Vein here," Xia Jingyan said excitedly.

She could sense the rich spiritual energy permeating this place, which was very suitable for their cultivation.

You see, if it were outside, almost every Spirit Vein would be occupied by cultivators.

There are hardly any unclaimed Spirit Veins.

Among them, Rank One Spirit Veins are suitable for Qi Refining stage cultivators, Rank Two Spirit Veins are suitable for Foundation Building stage cultivators, and Rank Three Spirit Veins are suitable for Gold Core stage cultivators.

Basically, those Gold Core sects occupy a Rank Three Spirit Vein.

Cultivating near a Spirit Vein can increase efficiency by several times, or even more than ten times compared to other places.

Misty Cloud City, in the past, was situated on a Rank Two Spirit Vein, which attracted so many Independent Cultivators to come and live here.

In fact, Zhou Sui also sensed the presence of a Rank Two High Grade Spirit Vein through the power of the Gold Devouring Worms, which is why he decided to stay in this place.

Using this place as a temporary foothold.

"Husband, are we going to live here for a while?" Mu Ziyan asked curiously.

"That's right, that's what I have planned."

"This is deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, so there's no need to worry about the cultivators of the Shadow Demon Sect."

"At the same time, there is also a Rank Two spiritual vein here, which is very suitable for our cultivation, and even for reaching the Foundation Building stage."

"Moreover, we won't lack food either. There are a large number of demonic beasts here, so we can hunt them for meat."

"We can also cultivate spiritual rice here and harvest food, completely achieving self-sufficiency."

Zhou Sui spoke about his plan.

To be honest, he was a bit tired of relying on others and being a tenant for others.

Tired of being extorted and blackmailed by others.

He wanted to have a place of his own so that he wouldn't have to rely on others.

Although this place is sparsely populated and desolate, it is very suitable for his growth.

He doesn't lack spiritual stones, elixirs, legacies, and other things. After obtaining the lifelong wealth of the Lu Family, he is already very wealthy. He basically doesn't lack anything and doesn't need to trade with other cultivators.

So he can completely stay in this place until he becomes a Foundation Building cultivator before leaving.

"That's a good idea. I can build a Spirit Gathering array here to gather spiritual energy from heaven and earth, making it convenient for our cultivation."

"At the same time, we can also build a defensive array to guard against the attacks of demonic beasts."

Xia Jingyan said excitedly.

She had already figured out how to build arrays nearby and turn this place into her own stronghold.

"Yes, we can also build wooden houses in this valley. This will be our home in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."

Mu Ziyan also nodded.

"Let's go and take a look around first. Kill all the demonic beasts in the vicinity to prevent them from attacking our base at night," Leng Yuxi said.

After a month of recuperation, she had partially recovered her strength as a Foundation Building cultivator.

Although she hadn't fully recovered to her peak state, her combat power was comparable to that of a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator.

Even if she encountered Rank Two demonic beasts, she was fearless.

"I'll prepare dinner for you all. It's a good way to celebrate our escape from Misty Cloud City," Ji Bingyu smiled.

"Sounds good."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied. Seeing that all his women took the initiative to take on tasks - one to build arrays, one to build houses, one to eliminate demonic beasts, and one to prepare dinner.

As for him, his main tasks were to coordinate and plan, improve his cultivation, and enjoy delicious food.

It's better to have more partners.

...

Shortly after Zhou Sui and the others left Misty Cloud City, changes occurred in the city.

"What did you say? Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect have launched an attack on our Shadow Demon Sect?"

A Foundation Building elder's face changed drastically. He didn't expect such a turn of events.

"That's right."

A disciple's face showed a fearful expression. "When our Shadow Demon Sect's Gold Core Perfected Being tried to ambush Immortal Mist Sect, the Gold Core elders of Azure Wood Sect and Alchemy Cauldron Sect unexpectedly appeared and severely injured our sect master and two Gold Core elders."

In the past two years, Immortal Mist Sect had not been idle. They secretly formed an alliance with other sects, intending to teach our Shadow Demon Sect a profound lesson.

But we didn't notice anything, and the three major sects united. Now our sect master is demanding that we retreat immediately and return to Shadow Demon Sect. Otherwise, we will definitely be left behind here."

"Damn it! Despicable Immortal Mist Sect, shameless righteous sects. They clearly promised to stand by and watch, but they went back on their word. They are even more fickle than our demonic sect."

The Foundation Building elder was furious.

He had thought that Shadow Demon Sect had already made an agreement with other sects to remain neutral and not take sides.

But who could have expected that they would go back on their word and betray their initial promise.

This led to Shadow Demon Sect being heavily damaged and attacked from all sides.
