Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 120: No More Shackles on the Path, Master Alchemist

"I can't believe it, Lord Husband. You actually succeeded on your first try. It's truly incredible. I thought you would fail this time," Xia Jingyan looked at Zhou Sui in astonishment.

According to her estimation, even a seasoned Rank Two alchemist wouldn't dare claim that they could definitely succeed in alchemy.

At the very least, they would be able to refine two or three batches before having a chance to produce one or two pills.

But now, her own husband actually succeeded on his first try, which was truly unbelievable.

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely shake the alchemy world.

"It's not just a simple success, but three high-quality Foundation Building Pills," Mu Ziyan stared in disbelief at the three high-quality Foundation Building Pills inside the pill furnace.

She felt that these were not just ordinary pills, but rather a huge fortune, incredibly astonishing.

Even Foundation Building cultivators would be extremely eager for these three pills, and some might even resort to killing to obtain them.

"Lord Husband is truly a genius alchemist. I knew nothing could hold you back," Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with great admiration, her face blushing and her heart fluttering.

She felt a warm feeling surging from within, an immense happiness.

"He actually succeeded? It seems this kid wasn't bragging before. He really can refine Foundation Building Pills," Leng Yuxi exclaimed in amazement from a distance.

She had thought that Zhou Sui would surely fail in alchemy this time. After all, even the alchemists within the Immortal Mist Sect wouldn't dare claim that they could refine Foundation Building Pills with a hundred percent success rate.

There were very few alchemists who could refine Foundation Building Pills, even within the Immortal Mist Sect.

Once someone could successfully refine Foundation Building Pills, they could be called a master alchemist.

Who could have imagined that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could be comparable to a master alchemist? It was truly inconceivable.

There was no doubt that if Zhou Sui appeared in the Immortal Mist Sect, he would definitely be invited to join as an outer sect elder, with a status comparable to a direct disciple.

After all, the value of a Rank Two alchemist was incredibly high.

Even disciples of the demonic sect, who enjoyed killing innocent people, would not easily kill an alchemist.

It was an unwritten rule in the conflict between the two sects that alchemists were not to be killed.

Because becoming a successful alchemist was extremely difficult, equivalent to being a top scientist.

It couldn't be achieved just by wanting to cultivate.

Even with a pile of resources, it would be of little use without talent.

So for people who possessed advanced skills but had little killing power, it was natural not to kill them if they could be spared.

Capturing the opponent and making them refine pills day and night, using them as alchemy tools, wasn't that a good thing?

Therefore, becoming a Rank Two alchemist was like obtaining a get-out-of-jail-free card.

Of course, Zhou Sui naturally didn't want to become an alchemy tool. He only refined pills for his own path, not for the paths of others.

"Wait, if this guy has refined Foundation Building Pills, what should I do to repay my debt?"

"Besides Foundation Building Pills, what else can I offer as repayment?"

At this moment, Leng Yuxi's mind was in chaos.

Originally, in order to repay Zhou Sui's life-saving grace, she had planned to give him the Immortal Mist Sect's Foundation Building Pills.

But now, he didn't need the Immortal Mist Sect's Foundation Building Pills at all, as he could refine them himself.

In other words, the things she had planned to use to repay her debt were no longer needed.

In this situation, she felt completely helpless and couldn't think of what Zhou Sui might want.

As for helping Zhou Sui hunt Rank Two demonic beasts, she didn't think it would be considered repaying a debt.

This is just a small favor, it's really nothing at all.

...

"Yuer, Ziyao, Jingyan, take these three high-quality Foundation Building Pills."

"Rest for a while, reach the peak of your energy and spirit, and then take the Foundation Building Pills."

"Don't worry about failure, if it doesn't work this time, there will be another chance."

"Foundation Building Pills are nothing. Once I obtain a Rank Two demonic pill, I can easily refine a bunch of them without needing to go to any damn auction. I can directly refine them."

At this moment, in the alchemy room, Zhou Sui felt that his thoughts were clear and his mood was extremely pleasant.

He handed these three high-quality Foundation Building Pills to his three dao companions.

Before, he needed to go to an auction and compete with a bunch of people to auction off the Foundation Building Pills, only to be taken advantage of by the alchemists.

Even after auctioning off the Foundation Building Pills, he might still encounter a robbery and be killed by others.

In short, auctioning off Foundation Building Pills was extremely dangerous.

But now, he didn't need to go to any auction at all. He could refine them successfully on his own.

There was no doubt that his path was completely unobstructed, and no one could stop him.

"Husband, you are so good to us."

Hearing this, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan all looked at Zhou Sui with affectionate eyes, their hearts filled with love.

They couldn't express their inner gratitude in words.

They could only say that they didn't choose the wrong dao companion, everything was worth it.

If they had chosen other men, where would they have the opportunity to obtain Foundation Building Pills?

In the following days, they also rested and improved their energy and spirit to the highest and most perfect state.

After all, this was related to their own path, and there was no room for error. If they failed, it would be a waste of a high-quality Foundation Building Pill, which was a valuable elixir that money couldn't buy from the outside world.

Of course, Zhou Sui also assisted them on the side, helping to make their bodies and minds happy.

But all of this was worth it.

After three days and nights of hard cultivation, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan were all satisfied, and their energy and spirit reached their peak.

It can be said that this Foundation Building was not completely certain, but there were not many surprises.

Of course, Zhou Sui's cultivation also made great progress. Compared to before, he was probably close to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

By then, he might also start trying Foundation Building.

...

"Are you going to start trying Foundation Building?"

At this moment, Leng Yuxi also sensed the situation on Zhou Sui's side.

She was secretly amazed that even female cultivators had the opportunity to try Foundation Building.

Even in the Immortal Mist Sect, as a true disciple, one had to wait for Foundation Building Pills.

It would take at least a dozen years to wait for them.

They would start trying Foundation Building when they were in their thirties or forties.

But there was no other way. The quantity of Foundation Building Pills was so scarce.

Within the sect, there were too many people and too few resources, so they could only wait in line.

It was not like them, who could immediately try Foundation Building after obtaining the Foundation Building Pills.

It could only be said that having a good dao companion was great. It saved them so much time and effort.

Having a good dao companion was like being reborn, and their lives had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It was no wonder that they said women should be cautious in choosing a dao companion. It was really important.

Various thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment.
