Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 211: Promotion to Fifth Grade Spiritual Root, Grandmaster Level Alchemy

Five years later, in the Canglan Sea Region.

More than thirty flying boats were soaring in the sky. They were the flying boats of the Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect, the three major sects.

They flew majestically in the sky, not knowing how many thousands of miles they had traveled in the past five years.

They had experienced countless hardships and dangers.

But fortunately, they were finally about to reach their destination, and the people on the flying boats were filled with joy and excitement.

Their eyes were full of anticipation, looking forward to the arrival of a new life.

...

At this moment, on the Rank Three flying boat of the Immortal Mist Sect, in a quiet room.

This was where Zhou Sui usually practiced in seclusion.

Swoosh~

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing his mind and calming his breath.

He sensed mysterious energy surging out from the Infatuation Gu, entering his body and merging into every corner of his body, causing a tremendous transformation.

Especially the spiritual root that entered his body, causing his spiritual root to undergo a metamorphosis.

Boom!

At this moment, his body trembled, as if his bones were resonating, producing a thunderous sound, as if his whole body was resonating.

Fifth Grade Spiritual Root!

After five years of hard cultivation, his spiritual root finally advanced from the level of a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root to the level of a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root.

"I finally advanced."

Zhou Sui's face showed a joyful expression. Five years ago, he thought his Sixth Grade Spiritual Root had reached 99%, just one step away from a breakthrough.

But he underestimated the difficulty of breaking through the spiritual root.

This was a huge bottleneck.

Even if there was only 1% progress left, it took him five years of hard work.

Now, he had truly broken through to the level of a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root.

Although the process was difficult and time-consuming, it was all worth it.

"My cultivation efficiency has increased, at least doubled."

Zhou Sui was pleasantly surprised. He operated the Divine Gu Sutra, swallowing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The vast spiritual energy flowed into his body through his spiritual root like a tide.

At this moment, he felt a significant increase in his internal mana.

His cultivation efficiency had doubled.

Although the difference between a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root and a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root was only one level, it was like heaven and earth.

If he stayed in a Gold Core sect, a Sixth Grade Spiritual Root would only be an outer disciple, but a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root could already become an inner disciple.

As for Fourth Grade spiritual roots, they are the elite among the inner disciples.

If one's talent can reach the level of Third Grade spiritual roots, then they will receive the treatment of a true disciple.

Therefore, the difference in talent is the difference in future achievements.

A small step difference is a step-by-step difference.

But it's also fortunate that with the help of the Infatuation Gu power, his spiritual root aptitude has been improved.

If he continues to refine it, he will eventually be able to improve to First Grade spiritual roots, or even the level of Heaven Spirit Roots.

"Oh right, let's first see how the body's data is."

At this time, Zhou Sui also opened his own virtual panel.

[Host: Zhou Sui, cultivation: Foundation Building mid-stage (90% progress), lifespan: 40 (1600) years]

[Talent: Fifth Grade spiritual roots (1%)]

[Sword Dao: Rank Two High Grade (70%)]

[Rune: Rank Two Low Grade (70%)]

[Formation Array: Rank Three High Grade (70%)]

[Pill Master: Rank Two High Grade (99%)]

[Phantom Demon Transformation Art: Great Completion (10%)]

There is no doubt that these five years of hard cultivation have been of considerable value.

Not to mention that his spiritual roots have been upgraded to the Fifth Grade realm, his various abilities have also been greatly improved.

Especially his cultivation in formation arrays, it has reached the realm of Rank Three High Grade.

It's not too far away from becoming a Rank Four Formation Master.

"The realm of a Rank Three High Grade Formation Master? Cultivating formation arrays really does have an effect."

Zhou Sui touched his chin, very satisfied.

During these five years, because he basically stayed on the flying boat and rushed on the road, it was very boring.

Apart from cultivating with his Dao companion and jointly comprehending the path of cultivation, the rest of the time was basically spent practicing various immortal arts.

Among them, formation arrays were the technique that consumed the most of his cultivation methods.

Because formation arrays are extremely important for cultivators.

Whether it's establishing a sect, building a family, or establishing one's own Cave Mansion, formation arrays are of utmost importance.

If there is no protection from formation arrays, enemies can easily invade one's territory.

Even when he was in seclusion and cultivating, without the protection of formation arrays, he would easily be disturbed.

So no matter which cultivator, if they have the conditions, they need to have a certain level of understanding of formations.

Even if they can't personally set up formations, they still need to understand some of the principles.

Only by doing so can they achieve twice the result with half the effort in their cultivation.

It can be said that after reaching the Rank Three High Grade formation realm, he is basically the strongest formation master among the three major sects: Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect.

No formation master can surpass his cultivation.

"It's a pity that I haven't found a Rank Four formation."

"If I could find a Rank Four formation and let the Formation Heart Gu learn from it."

"Perhaps I could comprehend the mysteries of the Rank Four formation and quickly improve my formation cultivation."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

After all, Immortal Mist Sect, Azure Wood Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect are only Gold Core sects. It's already quite good to obtain the inheritance of Rank Three formations, let alone think about the inheritance of Rank Four formations.

Even though Immortal Mist Sect used to be a Nascent Soul sect.

But after three thousand years, who knows how much of its inheritance has been lost.

The scripture pavilion only left behind some records about Rank Four formations.

As for the specific inheritance of Rank Four formations, there isn't much.

"No need to rush. After arriving at the Infinite Unity Alliance, there may be knowledge about Rank Four formations within the Nascent Soul forces."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

In fact, he wasn't in a hurry to find knowledge about Rank Four formations.

After all, he was only a Foundation Building cultivator now, and having knowledge of Rank Three formations was already sufficient.

Even if he knew about Rank Four formations, it would probably be difficult for a Foundation Building cultivator to set them up.

So it's not necessary to pursue higher-level knowledge.

It's like an elementary school student who hasn't fully understood the knowledge of their own grade, but is pursuing university-level knowledge.

That's simply aiming too high.

Of course, besides that, the biggest improvement is in his pill refining cultivation. He has already reached the Rank Two High Grade realm, just one step away from reaching the Rank Three level.

The reason why his pill refining cultivation has improved so quickly is thanks to the improvement of the Five Elements Pill Refining Technique in his body. It has reached the Grandmaster level, which is quite astonishing.

After reaching the Grandmaster realm, when he operates the Pill Refining Technique, it's as if he's in a trance, as if his fingers are moving naturally.

Every time he refines pills, he can produce high-quality pills.

The success rate of pill formation is over ninety percent.

This is quite an astonishing number, something that even Grandmasters can't achieve.

It can be said that this represents that his understanding of pills has surpassed ordinary pill refiners and has reached an unimaginable level. He can basically take on disciples, or even establish his own sect.

"The Grandmaster level of the Five Elements Pill Refining Technique is indeed very powerful."

"I can even start trying to refine Rank Three pills."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

However, it is also difficult to refine pills in the flying boat. You need to find a suitable environment to truly refine pills.

For now, we can only delay and see.

But for Zhou Sui, the most joyful thing is that his illusionary demon transformation technique has reached the realm of perfection.

After reaching this realm, even the Nascent Soul ancestors cannot see through his disguise.

Since he learned about the existence of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Canglan Sea Region, he has been a little worried.

Although he has no grievances with the Heavenly Demon Sect, he has indeed stolen their sect's techniques.

If he encounters disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who knows what might happen.

So he took precautions and directly cultivated this technique to perfection.

In this way, even if he really encounters disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, they will not see through him, and he may also avoid unknown dangers.

"Hmm?!"

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart moved, and his clairvoyant ability unconsciously spread out, with his body as the center, covering an area of thousands of zhang.

In fact, over the past five years, the reason why this fleet has not suffered much damage is mainly due to his clairvoyant ability. After all, his clairvoyant perception range is broader than that of a Gold Core Perfected Being.

Often, before the enemy approaches this fleet, he has already sensed them, which can be said to be preemptive.

All the sea monsters in the sea were eliminated in advance, avoiding a lot of danger.

Now, he sensed that there was a group of cultivators hidden on a desolate island ahead.

"Three mid-Gold Core cultivators."

"One hundred and fifty Foundation Building cultivators."

"Moreover, judging from the aura of these cultivators..."

"They are all burdened with karma, obviously a group of rogue cultivators who kill without mercy."

"Are these guys trying to ambush our fleet?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He sensed that the desolate island was covered by a formation, hiding the aura of the cultivators inside, making outsiders think that there was nothing here.

When they get close, the other party will suddenly attack and start a massacre.

Often in the Canglan Sea Region, many cultivators fall into this trap and die.

To be honest, he is very familiar with this situation.

Because the closer they are to the territory of the Infinite Unity Alliance, the more rogue cultivators they encounter.

Perhaps it is because they are approaching the range of activities of the cultivators, so more rogue cultivators appear.

In the past six months, they have killed countless rogue cultivators.

Of course, most cultivators dare not approach this huge fleet and keep their distance.

Only a few bold rogue cultivators dare to attack them.

Undoubtedly, the group of hidden cultivators is such people.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui transmitted his divine sense and informed Leng Yuxi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian, the three Gold Core female cultivators.

"What? Another Rogue Cultivator is targeting us?"

"Why have there been more and more Rogue Cultivators appearing in the past half year?"

"The closer we get to the Infinite Unity Alliance, the worse the security environment becomes. It seems that the Infinite Unity Alliance is not a good place either."

"That's true. It seems even more chaotic than our Xianxia Island."

"Never mind, let's deal with this group of Rogue Cultivators. There are people actively seeking death, so we can make a big profit."

Leng Yuxi, Lin Yazhu, and Shen Biqian instantly heard Zhou Sui's voice.

Each of them showed an eager expression.

They flashed their figures and silently left the flying boat.

...

At this moment, on this desolate island.

Inside were three Gold Core Perfected Beings, also known as the famous Wu brothers in the Canglan Sea Region.

They were named Wu Jin, Wu Mu, and Wu Hu.

These three brothers were closely connected and together obtained an opportunity in a certain Cave Mansion in the Canglan Sea Region, resulting in their promotion to Gold Core Perfected Beings.

However, they didn't want to join any forces and just wanted to live as they pleased.

In order to obtain a large amount of resources, they chose to become pirates.

They also established a large pirate group called the Wu Pirate Group.

It can be said that in this sea area, the Wu brothers were also famous and even made it onto the wanted list of the Infinite Unity Alliance.

But unfortunately, no one has been able to deal with them so far.

After all, they were all Gold Core Perfected Beings, and ordinary cultivators found it difficult to kill them.

If a Nascent Soul ancestor personally took action, they would quickly retreat and hide temporarily.

In any case, the Nascent Soul ancestor couldn't afford to spend a lot of time chasing a few Gold Core Perfected Beings, which would not be worth it.

They would come out to commit crimes once the rumors died down.

Over time, they also became a well-known pirate group in this sea area.

They were truly terrifying.

Even the Infinite Unity Alliance couldn't do anything to them, allowing them to do as they pleased.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"That fleet is from a remote sea area, not a force of Nascent Soul sects?"

Big Brother Wu Jin stared at a cultivator with a pointed mouth and asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the leader, what I said is absolutely true."

"In fact, many pirate groups have been eyeing that fleet for a long time."

"It is said that they come from three Gold Core sects in a remote sea area."

"Just because our family encountered a demonic disaster, we had to flee in a hurry, hoping to find refuge in the Infinite Unity Alliance."

"This fleet has three Gold Core Perfected Beings, so their strength is quite formidable."

"As a result, many Rogue Cultivators who dared to attack this fleet were instantly killed."

"If we don't take action now and they enter the territory of the Infinite Unity Alliance, we may never have another chance to strike."

A cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks said confidently.

He had already investigated this fleet that suddenly appeared half a year ago.

After all, such a strange fleet had never been seen in this sea area.

Naturally, it aroused the curiosity of many cultivators.

Some cultivators even intentionally approached Zhou Sui and others to trade and gather information.

"It seems that this fleet is indeed tough."

"Three Gold Core Perfected Beings, thousands of cultivators, and thirty flying boats, they are not easy to provoke."

"If we are not careful, we could be completely wiped out and killed by the enemy."

Wu Mu said in a deep voice, his eyes showing a wary expression.

He believed that his subordinates would not lie.

And it was quite impressive to gather so much information in such a short time.

"Big brother, second brother, I think we can do it."

"Just three Gold Core female cultivators, even if they are at the Gold Core Late Stage, they are no match for the three of us, the Wu brothers."

"Don't forget, we obtained that mysterious sword technique from that Cave Mansion."

"It allows the three of us, the Wu brothers, to be connected as one, with a telepathic connection, and we can display a sword formation."

"Once the sword formation is set up, even cultivators at the Gold Core Late Stage can be killed by us."

"I admit that there is indeed a certain degree of risk."

"But fortune favors the bold. Once we succeed, we will make a fortune."

"I'm afraid that when we reach the Gold Core Late Stage, we won't need to engage in such risky ventures anymore."

Wu Hu clenched his fist, exuding a strong killing intent, showing that he had a strong desire to kill.

Even knowing that there might be cultivators at the Gold Core Late Stage on the other side, he was fearless and even wanted to fight them.

It was precisely because of this that his sword technique was fierce and brutal, often surpassing the courage of other sword cultivators. He could behead them with a single sword, and even challenge cultivators of higher realms.

"If that's the case, it does make sense."

"Three Gold Core sects that moved from remote islands."

It can be imagined how many treasures they must be carrying. They must have brought the entire wealth of their sects with them."

"If we succeed, we will become rich overnight."

"Of course, even if we fail, it doesn't matter. With our abilities, even if we can't kill them, we can retreat safely, and they won't be able to kill us either."

"Most importantly, they are Gold Core sects from remote seas, without any backing. Even if we offend them, we don't have to worry about retaliation."

Wu Mu rubbed his chin.

He heard what his third brother said, and it made a lot of sense.

After all, it was rare to come across such a fat lamb.

In this sea area, with such a huge fleet appearing, which one didn't have the backing of Nascent Soul forces?

Offending any one of them would be a dead end.

Gold Core sects from remote sea areas like this were also extremely rare.

If they missed this opportunity, there might not be another chance.

The most important thing was that even if they failed, it didn't matter.

With their strength, they would definitely be able to escape.

Once successful, it would be an overnight fortune, and it seemed like a risk-free operation no matter how you looked at it.

"Second brother, third brother, you're right."

"Let's test the strength of those three Gold Core Perfected Beings."

"Let's see what these Gold Core Perfected Beings from remote sea areas are capable of."

"If they're not capable, then kill them all, leave none alive."

Wu Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately made a decision, which was to rob and kill.

Undoubtedly, if they really missed such a big fat lamb, he would probably have trouble sleeping when he returned.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night.

"Tell me, how far away is that fleet from us?"

Wu Jin asked in a deep voice.

"Leader, our people are secretly watching them. They are only a dozen kilometers away from the island where we are ambushing. It shouldn't take long for them to reach our ambush location."

The cultivator with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks flattered.

"Hehe, a dozen kilometers?"

"It seems like your people have been discovered long ago."

"Because those three Gold Core female cultivators have already arrived above our island."

"They have quite the audacity, knowing that we are ambushing them, yet still daring to come and attack us."

"It seems that our Wu family's three eagles have truly been underestimated."

Wu Jin's face turned ferocious, and a terrifying Gold Core domain burst out from his body, covering the entire desolate island, causing a tremendous vibration and roaring sound.

What?!

The cultivator with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks' face changed drastically, and he had something to say.

Boom boom boom~

But at this moment, a golden light instantly struck down from the sky, fiercely hitting the formation on this island, immediately causing a terrifying fluctuation.

With just one strike, the formation here was instantly shattered into pieces.

Many cultivators on the island immediately emerged.

Apart from the Gold Core Perfected Being, the other cultivators were all coughing up blood and suffering varying degrees of injuries.

Numerous Rogue Cultivators looked in horror at the four figures that suddenly appeared in the sky.

Three of them were female cultivators at the Gold Core stage, and one was a male cultivator at the Foundation Building stage.

These three female cultivators at the Gold Core stage were naturally Lin Yazhu, Leng Yuxi, and Shen Biqian.

As for the male cultivator at the Foundation Building stage, he was naturally one of Zhou Sui's clones.

In order to achieve a surprise attack, Zhou Sui's clone personally took action, carrying a Teleportation Gu on his body, instantly teleporting the three Gold Core female cultivators above this desolate island, catching the group of Rogue Cultivators off guard.

They never expected that the three Gold Core female cultivators would completely abandon their flying boat and directly attack their hiding place.

To be honest, they didn't know when they were discovered by the enemy.

"You have a lot of guts."

"The three of us from the Wu Clan haven't come to trouble you personally yet."

"Now you dare to appear in front of us and cause trouble for us."

"You are seeking death."

Wu Jin, Wu Mu, and Wu Hu, the three brothers, felt very angry, feeling completely underestimated. Just three Gold Core female cultivators, they actually dared to look down on the Wu Clan like this.

The other party really thought they were soft persimmons, that they could be squeezed however they wanted?!

Rumble~~

In an instant, they immediately took out a low-grade Law Treasure flying sword from their bodies, exuding a terrifying sword aura.

Especially the sword auras within the three of them resonated with each other, buzzing and merging into one.

A huge sword formation immediately erupted from the three of them.

This is the Harmonious Unity Sword Formation!

This is a sword cultivation inheritance they obtained from a certain Cave Mansion.

In order to successfully cultivate this sword formation, everyone must have a telepathic connection and be extremely in sync.

Fortunately, the Wu brothers are triplets, and they have been telepathically connected and in perfect sync since childhood.

So they quickly mastered this sword formation, even cultivating it to a high level.

With this sword formation, they are practically invincible in the Infinite Unity Alliance and no one dares to provoke them.

Even cultivators at the Gold Core Late Stage have to keep their distance when facing them, or they will be pierced through by the sword aura and die.

Even true disciples from Nascent Soul sects dare not face the Wu brothers.

This is enough to prove the strength of their combat power, which is definitely not inferior to true disciples from Nascent Soul sects.
