Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 16: Promoted to the Eighth Grade Spirit Root in Six Months

"If that's the case, how much spirit wine can this Wine Gu produce?" Ji Bingyu asked curiously.

"Well, in one night, it can produce ten barrels of spirit wine," Zhou Sui thought carefully and gave a specific number.

After all, the Wine Gu had just been born, equivalent to a first-stage Wine Gu, and its abilities had not been greatly enhanced. Being able to convert ten barrels of spirit wine was already quite remarkable.

"Ten barrels of spirit wine?" Mu Ziyan was also surprised. "One barrel of spirit wine can be divided into ten pots of spirit wine, each pot worth fifty low-grade spirit stones. That means one barrel of spirit wine is worth five hundred low-grade spirit stones. But the Wine Gu can convert ten barrels of spirit wine in one night. Does that mean it can earn five thousand low-grade spirit stones in one night? That's too exaggerated."

She was simply dumbfounded.

Even though she was a Qi Refining late-stage cultivator, after working hard and risking her life to hunt demonic beasts, she would only obtain a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, which was already a very good harvest. Many times, they would return empty-handed. And most importantly, they hunted at the risk of their lives. One small mistake could cost them their lives.

But now, with the power of the Wine Gu, earning five thousand low-grade spirit stones in one night was an incredibly fast rate of earning that was terrifying.

"No wonder the secret recipe for spirit wine can make a cultivator family rise. I didn't expect it to be so profitable. Earning five thousand low-grade spirit stones in one day means earning one hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones in a month," Mu Ziyan was also shocked.

She felt that the Wine Gu was like a huge vein of spirit stones. And real spirit stone veins would eventually be depleted, reaching a point of exhaustion. But the Wine Gu, as long as its lifespan hadn't ended, could continuously produce spirit wine.

If this news were to be known by other cultivation families and sects, they would definitely swarm over and crazily snatch the Wine Gu.

At this moment, she truly realized the importance of the Wine Gu. It was an invaluable spiritual creature that could make a cultivation family rise.

"The benefits are indeed astonishing. If others discover it, we will undoubtedly be doomed. Even Foundation Building cultivators will come after us. So we still need to be careful," Ji Bingyu said in a deep voice. "Based on our cultivation level, earning five thousand low-grade spirit stones per month is enough. That's within a reasonable range. Going beyond this number would be a bit risky."

She made a decision that selling ten barrels of spirit wine per month would be enough.

If they sold too much, they would become targets.

"Let's listen to Yuer," Zhou Sui also nodded, fully agreeing with this point.

Although having more spirit stones was better, they also had to consider whether they had the strength to protect them.

If they couldn't, even if they had more spirit stones, it would only be like dressing up for others.

With a few thousand low-grade spirit stones earned per month, they could already fully satisfy their daily cultivation.

When their cultivation advanced further, they could earn more spirit stones at that time.

"Thank you, husband, for understanding. Our cultivation level is still too weak. If we can become Foundation Building cultivators, we can openly sell spirit wine without worrying about others coveting it," Ji Bingyu sighed.

But this was also something that couldn't be helped. This was the survival rule for Independent Cultivators.

Independent Cultivators without a background had to be cautious in everything they did, treading on thin ice.

One small mistake could lead to death, so they had to be careful.

"It's okay, as long as during this period, you don't go out for adventures in the wilderness."

"I heard that Immortal Mist Sect has brought a large number of cultivators into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. It's chaotic there right now, with killings everywhere, very unsafe."

"Now that we have spirit stones obtained from selling spirit wine, you don't need to venture out to hunt and kill demonic beasts in the wilderness."

Zhou Sui said sincerely.

"Well, we won't go on adventures recently."

Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui affectionately.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan and Xia Jingyan were also deeply moved. They had been Independent Cultivators for a long time, and he was the first man they had encountered who cared so much about them. This was the first time.

In fact, if it were possible to earn a large amount of wealth without doing anything, who would still go on adventures?

After all, there were too many demonic beasts to hunt, and sooner or later, they would be killed by the demonic beasts.

If they were unlucky enough to encounter a Rogue Cultivator, they would die on the way.

But now, with the spirit stones they obtained from selling spirit wine, they didn't have to worry about lacking spirit stones even if they stayed in Misty Cloud City.

This was the life they had dreamed of before.

............

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Now it was winter in Misty Cloud City, with heavy snowfall everywhere, everything covered in silver. However, the climate had become extremely cold.

Many cultivators were shivering from the cold, trembling all over.

But Zhou Sui still stayed peacefully at home, cultivating with his Dao companion Ji Bingyu.

"You had dual cultivation with your Dao companion seven times last night, with deep emotional connection and strong affection. You have gained a certain level of sword cultivation experience."

"Your cultivation has improved to a certain extent."

"Your spiritual root aptitude has improved and reached the eighth-grade spiritual root."

After another night of dual cultivation, Zhou Sui's body trembled. He sensed a mysterious warm current being infused into his spiritual root from the Infatuation Gu, causing a tremendous change in his spiritual root.

At this moment, he sensed that his spiritual root had advanced from the ninth-grade to the eighth-grade.

Undoubtedly, this was an astonishing transformation.

Other cultivators couldn't improve their spiritual root aptitude no matter how hard they tried.

But now, after only half a year of dual cultivation with his Dao companion, he had actually advanced from the ninth-grade to the eighth-grade spiritual root. This was simply unbelievable.

If this matter were to spread, it would surely shock countless cultivators.

"So this is the aptitude of an eighth-grade spiritual root?"

Zhou Sui sensed that his absorption efficiency of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had increased by one-third compared to before, and even his comprehension had improved to a certain extent.

Compared to the ninth-grade spiritual root, his aptitude had improved by too much.

It was like going from a fool to an average person's aptitude.

In fact, among many cultivators, the ninth-grade spiritual root was still relatively rare, equivalent to a fool among humans.

But now, if he advanced to the eighth-grade spiritual root, it would be equivalent to an ordinary low-level cultivator.

He could barely escape the category of fools.

This made Zhou Sui very happy.

After all, this was just the beginning. If he continued like this, his spiritual root might advance to the seventh-grade, sixth-grade, or even first-grade realm.

If that were the case, he would become a genius among cultivators.
