Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 114: Shadow Demon Sect Retreats, Help from Foundation Building Cultivators

"Elder, what should we do now?" The disciple of Shadow Demon Sect asked nervously.

If they continued like this, when the cultivators from the three major sects arrived, they would be in deep trouble.

They had to make a decision now.

"Has Leng Yuxi not been found yet?" The elder of the Foundation Building stage clenched his fist and asked.

"No, Leng Yuxi disappeared a long time ago and we have no idea where she is."

"We divided into three groups to search for her."

"One group is in Misty Cloud City, another in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and the last group is guarding the roads leading to Immortal Mist Sect."

"But no matter which group of disciples, they haven't found any suspicious individuals."

"It's as if that woman suddenly evaporated from the mortal world."

The disciple of Shadow Demon Sect said helplessly.

To be honest, he had dug three feet into the ground but still couldn't find Leng Yuxi.

Clearly, this woman was poisoned and shouldn't have been able to run too far.

But they still couldn't find any trace of her, which made him extremely frustrated.

"Damn Leng Yuxi, damn Immortal Mist Sect."

The elder of the Foundation Building stage gritted his teeth.

If he could capture Leng Yuxi this time, it would be a leverage against Immortal Mist Sect.

Then Immortal Mist Sect would be wary, and Shadow Demon Sect would have a chance to turn the tables.

But now, not only were the Gold Core cultivators in the sect heavily injured, they also failed to capture any hostages.

It was like killing a chicken and losing the rice, a complete loss.

He was truly puzzled, how did this woman manage to slip away right under his nose?

"Enough, we can't continue to delay. Let's retreat quickly."

"There's no need to fight to the death with the three major sects, otherwise we will surely suffer heavy losses."

The elder of the Foundation Building stage immediately made the decision to retreat.

After all, he wasn't a fool. He couldn't withstand the joint forces of the three major sects.

Staying here would only lead to a dead end.

Although he was unwilling to give up on capturing Leng Yuxi, there was nothing he could do now.

He could only abandon the idea of capturing her.

...

A few days later.

Zhou Sui, who was practicing deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, was the first to sense the commotion in Misty Cloud City, because he had left a clone of himself in Misty Cloud City.

Even if he left Misty Cloud City, he still wanted to know what was happening there, which would be convenient for his future actions.

"No way, Shadow Demon Sect actually retreated?!" Zhou Sui widened his eyes.

He could sense that many Shadow Demon Sect cultivators were in a panic, fleeing from Misty Cloud City like dogs that had lost their homes.

They were so arrogant before, but now they were in such a sorry state.

"Could it be that Immortal Mist Sect won? Or did something happen to Shadow Demon Sect?" Zhou Sui secretly speculated. He didn't know what had happened to Shadow Demon Sect, but judging from the situation in Misty Cloud City, these demonic cultivators were indeed retreating rapidly, disappearing from the city.

He felt a little frustrated.

He had just left Misty Cloud City, and those demonic cultivators had already started running away.

This is clearly playing with him.

Of course, even if he knew that the Shadow Demon Sect was leaving, he would not continue to stay in Misty Cloud City.

After all, whether it was to avoid the upcoming danger or to let his Dao companion become a Foundation Building cultivator, he needed to delve into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for cultivation. The so-called avoidance of danger was just one of the reasons.

The most important thing was that he didn't know if the Shadow Demon Sect was really leaving or if they were pretending to retreat and then counterattack.

Or perhaps they were setting up traps to lure Leng Yuxi out.

But regardless of the factors, he couldn't be bothered.

Because he had long jumped out of the chessboard and arrived at the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui temporarily ignored what was happening in Misty Cloud City and looked at his virtual panel.

"It seems that it will be difficult to break through in cultivation and spiritual roots in the short term. It still requires a long time of cultivation."

Zhou Sui touched his chin.

Obviously, after advancing to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, the speed of cultivation became slower and slower. Even with the assistance of Dao companions and pills, it would take at least one or two years to break through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.

The same goes for spiritual roots.

Although his spiritual roots would improve every day, the speed of improvement had also slowed down compared to the beginning. It would take a lot of time to advance to the Sixth Grade Spiritual Root.

Of course, his lifespan was incredibly long.

Even before advancing to the Foundation Building realm, he already had a lifespan of 210 years. He had plenty of time and no need to rush.

As for the cultivation of the four arts of cultivation, it was also reaching a bottleneck.

This was also limited by his Dao companions.

After all, the three Dao companions were currently only at the Rank One level. Unless they advanced to the Foundation Building realm, it would be difficult for them to reach the Rank Two realm.

"Which means, the most important thing now is not my cultivation, but the cultivation of the three Dao companions."

"If their cultivation reaches the Foundation Building realm, the efficiency of dual cultivation will be greatly improved."

"After all, dual cultivation with a Qi Refining stage female cultivator is completely different from dual cultivation with a Foundation Building stage female cultivator."

"I already have twelve Foundation Building spiritual medicines, but I lack Rank Two Monster Cores or Golden Jade Lingzhi."

"I can't obtain the Golden Jade Lingzhi, but being in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, I can still think about Rank Two Monster Cores."

"Hunting Rank Two demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is difficult mainly because of the mist, which obstructs the vision of cultivators and makes it easy to be ambushed by demonic beasts."

"But I'm different. I have clones and hundreds of Gold-Eating Worms. They can serve as eyes and bait, attracting Rank Two demonic beasts and then handing them over to Leng Yuxi to kill."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, he felt that this method was more feasible.

After all, he had a Foundation Building cultivator like Leng Yuxi by his side. If Leng Yuxi personally took action, what could a mere Rank Two demonic beast do? It would definitely be a sure kill.

Originally, he also wanted to cultivate Rank One demonic beasts to advance to Rank Two.

But upon careful consideration, he had a Foundation Building cultivator by his side now, so why bother with these time-consuming and laborious things?
