Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 133: The Talent of an Intermediate Spirit Root, the Beast Tide in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range

"So this is the talent of a Sixth Grade spirit root, an Intermediate Spirit Root?" Zhou Sui exclaimed.

He immediately sensed the astonishing changes that had taken place. Although there was only a difference of one grade between a Seventh Grade spirit root and a Sixth Grade spirit root, the disparity was like heaven and earth.

This was the difference between a lower-grade spirit root and an Intermediate Spirit Root.

Reaching the level of a Sixth Grade spirit root meant entering the threshold of the sect. Basically, one could be accepted by the sect and leave behind the identity of an Independent Cultivator.

If he had possessed the talent of a Sixth Grade spirit root back then, he might have already become a disciple of the sect.

There would have been no need for him to struggle in Misty Cloud City.

"Not only has my comprehension improved, but the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has also doubled," Zhou Sui took a deep breath.

With a slight activation of the Divine Gu Sutra, a vast amount of spiritual energy surged towards him, instantly entering his body and quickly transforming into true yuan.

The efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy made him feel extremely comfortable.

Although it was only a doubling of efficiency, if one were to look at it over a decade or even several decades, the difference would be significant.

If one were to cultivate diligently, a cultivator with a Sixth Grade spirit root could reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty and have a chance to advance to the Foundation Building stage.

But for a Seventh Grade spirit root, it would take at least eighty or even ninety years to have a chance to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

However, at that time, it would be almost impossible for the cultivator to successfully build their foundation.

Even if they obtained a Foundation Building Pill, their body's vitality would decline, leading to a failure in foundation building.

"Although a Sixth Grade spirit root is good, it would be even better if it were a Third Grade spirit root or even a Heaven Spirit Root," Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

Now he had a feeling of wanting more. After experiencing the benefits of being a genius with a Sixth Grade spirit root, he naturally wanted to further improve his talent.

If he had the talent of a First Grade spirit root like Leng Yuxi, his path would probably be even smoother.

But he felt that this was also a matter of time.

If the Infatuation Gu could advance further and his Dao companion's cultivation also improved, then the speed of his spirit root talent evolution would probably be faster.

Sooner or later, he would possess a Superior Spirit Root or even a Heaven Spirit Root talent.

...

A few days later.

Since Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan came out of seclusion, Zhou Sui had resumed his daily dual cultivation with his wives. Now he had an additional wife, Leng Yuxi.

It could be said that the family of five was harmonious and happy.

This was also a rare period of peace and tranquility.

His cultivation was steadily improving, and in a short period of time, his cultivation would be able to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, allowing him to attempt Foundation Building.

Once he became a Foundation Building cultivator, both his cultivation and lifespan would undergo earth-shaking changes.

This could be considered as having the initial self-preservation power in the cultivation world.

After all, although his Dao companion had become a Foundation Building cultivator, he had not.

Regardless, the most important thing was that his cultivation had improved, giving him the greatest sense of security.

Boom!

However, at this moment, a strong earthquake suddenly occurred in an area hundreds of miles around them. The ground cracked and made a buzzing sound.

"What's going on?"

Immediately, Zhou Sui, as well as Ji Bingyu and the others, woke up from their cultivation. They looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Hmm?!"

Zhou Sui's heart stirred at this moment, and his avatars were scattered everywhere, constantly monitoring the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At this moment, his avatars sensed that deep within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, a large number of demonic beasts were running out, forming a terrifying beast tide that swept across all directions.

Even a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate emanated from the depths of the mountain range, solidifying into substance.

Rank Three demonic beasts!

There was no doubt that it was the aura of Rank Three demonic beasts, comparable to Gold Core cultivators. The demonic energy on their bodies swept through the heavens and earth, covering an area of tens of kilometers, extremely terrifying.

And the source of the earthquake was none other than the places where the Shen, Mu, and Xiao families, among other Foundation Building clans, were located.

"Damn it, it's those people from the Foundation Building clans. They must have done something to provoke the Rank Three demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Now they have launched a beast tide, and all the demonic beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range have gone into a frenzy."

Zhou Sui's expression became grave.

"What? Rank Three demonic beasts? Aren't they on par with Gold Core cultivators? What are we going to do now?" Hearing this, Ji Bingyu and the others' expressions changed completely. They never expected such a turn of events.

Although their cultivation had reached the Foundation Building stage, they were still far inferior to Rank Three demonic beasts at the Gold Core stage.

Encountering a Rank Three demonic beast would almost certainly mean certain death.

"It's okay, I have long built an underground shelter hundreds of meters below the valley."

"As long as we hide in the shelter, we can avoid this beast tide."

Zhou Sui had long been prepared for such a situation.

When he came to the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, he ordered the Gold Devouring Worm to dig a huge underground shelter.

It was basically identical to the underground shelter in Misty Cloud City.

In this way, if anything happened in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they could also hide in the underground shelter.

They could even use the underground passage to return to Misty Cloud City.

This was what they called having multiple escape routes.

"Husband, you're amazing. I didn't expect you to dig a hole even in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."

Xia Jingyan was completely convinced by this man. He was so cautious and prepared for every situation, always leaving himself a way out no matter where he went.

But in terms of the results, it had indeed come in handy.

In fact, if they didn't have this escape route, they would almost certainly be dead.

"Stop talking nonsense, pack up and let's go quickly."

Zhou Sui immediately led Ji Bingyu and the others to a hidden cave in the valley.

In no time, they arrived at a shelter hundreds of meters underground.

Then, he ordered the Gold Devouring Worm to seal the original tunnel.

In this way, no one could pass through the tunnel and discover their underground shelter.

As for the various buildings in the valley, he couldn't control them.

Even if they were destroyed by the demonic beasts, it would be easy to rebuild them, not a significant loss.

"Husband, are we going to be trapped in the underground shelter for another year?"

Mu Ziyan asked.

"Don't worry, the beast tide won't last too long, at most one or two months."

"And if the time is really too long, we can return to Misty Cloud City."

"After all, the Shadow Demon Sect has already evacuated Misty Cloud City, so it should be relatively safe for now."

Zhou Sui said in a deep voice.

"That's good."

Mu Ziyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
