Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 12: Refining Wine Gu, Misty Cloud City in Chaos

"Accident? You're the one who had an accident. How could I have an accident at home?!" Zhou Sui said impatiently.

"Cough cough, it's a misunderstanding, really, just a misunderstanding. Look at my mouth, I just can't speak properly. Don't be mad at me," Zhang Cheng apologized repeatedly. "By the way, what were you planning to do when you went out today?"

He looked very embarrassed, after all, it was his fault for saying the wrong thing.

"I'm going to buy something," Zhou Sui couldn't be bothered to waste any more words and walked away.

Just as Zhou Sui left the street, it seemed like all the neighbors came out, each one looking at Zhou Sui's departing figure with suspicion and surprise.

"No way, Zhou kid is actually not dead? Was he not captured by that demon woman?"

Someone felt very surprised.

Because according to his estimation, Zhou Sui should have been long gone by now. Who would have thought he would be alive and well?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

"It is indeed a bit strange. Could it be that the female cultivator didn't want to capture him, but wanted to become his Dao companion?"

"Impossible, this kid has low cultivation, how could a beautiful and powerful female cultivator be interested in him? Don't joke around."

"I don't believe it either, but the fact speaks for itself. This kid has nothing to do with it, and his cultivation has even improved."

"It's fake, it's all an illusion. Don't be deceived by the methods of that demon woman. Maybe she thinks Zhou kid's cultivation is not enough and wants to fatten him up before killing him."

"That's also a possibility. If it's just at the Qi Refining stage, even if she really drained him, it wouldn't be of much benefit. It would be better to improve Zhou kid's cultivation and then drain him, which would be more advantageous."

The crowd discussed one after another.

They would never believe that the beautiful female cultivator was interested in Zhou Sui. They suspected that the demon woman must be planning to fatten him up and then harvest him.

If it wasn't for that, there was no way to explain this situation.

...

Not long after, Zhou Sui arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion in Misty Cloud City, driving his carriage skillfully. This shop not only sold various types of pills, but also various medicinal materials.

Zhao, the shopkeeper of the Alchemy Pavilion, was also an acquaintance of Zhou Sui's parents. After all, they had known each other for more than ten years.

"Little Zhou, are you here to buy some pills today?" Zhao, the shopkeeper, smiled slightly.

"No, I want to buy some spiritual herbs, like ten-year-old Wine Snake Grass. Do you have any?" Zhou Sui stated his request directly.

The reason he needed Wine Snake Grass was because it was the main ingredient for refining Wine Gu, a special kind of gu worm he wanted to refine in order to earn spirit stones.

Wine Gu was a gu worm that lived on wine and had incredible power when it came to alcohol.

Even a normal drink, under the power of Wine Gu, would transform into spiritual wine.

You should know that a pot of ordinary first-grade spiritual wine was worth at least forty to fifty low-grade spirit stones, even more expensive than ordinary pills.

The reason for this was that compared to pills, spiritual wine had less toxicity and could purify the spiritual energy in the body, making it very popular among cultivators.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of making spiritual wine was high and the production was scarce, resulting in a constant shortage of supply. Even if one had spirit stones, it was not necessarily possible to buy it.

Once the Wine Gu is successfully refined, with the power of the Wine Gu, it can transform ordinary wine into spirit wine.

This is equivalent to evolving a worthless drink into spirit wine worth dozens of low-grade spirit stones. It's like making a fortune overnight, just like a money printing machine.

In fact, Zhou Sui also wanted to refine the Wine Gu as soon as possible and earn a large amount of spirit stones.

However, he also knew that if he really did that, even if Misty Cloud City was extremely safe, he would be killed the next day, assassinated by other cultivators and robbed of his spirit stones.

After all, the reason why cultivators don't take action is simply because the benefits are not big enough.

If the benefits are really big enough, then after killing himself, the other party can escape from Misty Cloud City at any time.

Even if pursued by Misty Cloud City, they can simply not come to Misty Cloud City in the future.

With a large number of spirit stones, the world is big, and there is nowhere they can't go.

So he simply didn't dare to refine the Wine Gu.

But now it's different. He has a Dao companion with the ninth level of Qi Refining to support him. Even if he earns a large amount of spirit stones, he can easily protect this huge wealth without worrying about others coveting it.

"Snakegrass for wine? Of course, we have it. It's one of the materials for refining spirit wine. But one portion of snakegrass is worth one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Do you want to buy it?" Zhao the shopkeeper said.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones? How can it be so expensive? It was only seventy low-grade spirit stones last month," Zhou Sui frowned. He was not a fool and naturally wouldn't buy overly expensive spirit medicine.

This shopkeeper Zhao must be trying to take advantage of him, right?!

"Zhou kid, I'm not trying to cheat you," the shopkeeper Zhao explained. "Maybe you don't know yet, but recently the prices of dan pills, talismans, spirit medicine, and so on in Misty Cloud City have been rising. Maybe in a while, the prices will become even more expensive."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Sui was stunned when he heard this because the prices in Misty Cloud City had always been stable, with very little fluctuation.

But now such a change has happened. Could it be that something has happened in Misty Cloud City?

"Don't you know yet? This matter has been widely spread for a long time," the shopkeeper Zhao said in a deep voice. "Recently, the Immortal Mist Sect discovered a vein of red gold and a vein of spirit stones in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. The output exceeds one hundred thousand tons. Now the Immortal Mist Sect is going crazy."

"In order to develop this vein, the Immortal Mist Sect has sent a large number of personnel to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Many cultivator families have also flocked here with the support of the Immortal Mist Sect."

"After all, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range has complex terrain, is shrouded in clouds and mist all day long, and has many demonic beasts. The difficulty of development is very high, so the Immortal Mist Sect has invited a large number of cultivators to develop it together."

It is precisely because of this that a large number of foreign cultivators have flooded into our Misty Cloud City during this period. Haven't you noticed that the public security in Misty Cloud City has deteriorated a lot recently? There are frequent incidents of murder and treasure snatching."

If it were the previous Misty Cloud City, it would be impossible for such things to happen at all. But because there are too many foreign cultivators now, the law enforcement team of Misty Cloud City simply can't handle it.

Of course, even if the law enforcement team wants to handle it, they can't. After all, these foreign cultivators are all fierce and ruthless, and some even have powerful families backing them. The law enforcement team can only turn a blind eye to these illegal activities."

What?!"

When this was said, Zhou Sui was very surprised. He didn't expect that in just a month's time, Misty Cloud City would undergo such a big change.

During this month, he was basically immersed in the world of tenderness, staying at home all the time, paying no attention to what was happening outside.

Unexpectedly, in just a short month, Misty Cloud City has experienced such chaos.

No wonder he always felt that there were many more cultivators on the streets, and they all exuded a fierce and evil aura.
