Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 219: The Mysteries of the Gold Core Realm, Rank Three Alchemist

"I actually obtained another Rank Two Monster Core. It seems that there are many Rank Two Monster Cores in this sea area," Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow.

Although the Golden Jade Lingzhi is also rare in this sea area, there are far more demonic beasts here than on Immortal Mist Island, more than ten thousand times as many.

This also leads to the birth of a large number of Rank Two demonic beasts.

Therefore, from time to time, people successfully hunt and kill Rank Two demonic beasts, obtaining Rank Two Monster Cores.

Basically, in this sea area, it is much easier to obtain Foundation Building Pills compared to Immortal Mist Island.

As long as there are enough spirit stones, one can buy Foundation Building Pills.

This also leads to the birth of a large number of Foundation Building cultivators in this sea area.

"There are indeed many."

"In the past few years, we have acquired quite a few Rank Two Monster Cores."

"And fortunately, with Husband's help, we have refined a large number of high-quality Foundation Building Pills."

"Not only did it increase the number of Foundation Building cultivators in our Immortal Mist Sect, but it also made Xianxia City famous in this area."

Mu Ziyan said with emotion.

Originally, when the three major sects established Xianxia City, not many cultivators paid attention to it.

After all, this sea area is too vast, and there are many trading cities built. They have no reason to go to a newly established city like Xianxia City.

But Xianxia City occasionally auctions off some high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

Immediately, it attracted a large number of independent cultivators and Foundation Building cultivators.

After all, the difference between ordinary Foundation Building Pills and high-quality Foundation Building Pills is huge.

One can increase the probability of Foundation Building by thirty percent, while the other can increase it by fifty percent.

For some older Qi Refining cultivators, high-quality Foundation Building Pills mean that they will definitely be able to Foundation Build.

Ordinary Foundation Building Pills only offer hope for Foundation Building.

Any cultivator who wants to Foundation Build wants to buy high-quality Foundation Building Pills, because who doesn't want to have a one hundred percent success rate in Foundation Building?

Failing once would cause severe damage to their vitality. Everyone wants to succeed in one go.

The problem is, even Rank Two High Grade alchemists dare not say that they can definitely refine high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

It still depends on luck.

Unlike Zhou Sui, who has reached the Grandmaster level in the Five Elements Alchemy Technique and can perfectly refine high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

Every time he refines pills, he always produces high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

Because of this, due to the allure of high-quality Foundation Building Pills, a large number of independent cultivators and clan cultivators flocked to Xianxia City.

This also caused the reputation of Xianxia City to spread to the surrounding sea areas.

Many cultivation materials also gathered in Xianxia City.

There are also many independent cultivators who have started to live in this cultivator city, and the city has become more prosperous.

"It's good as long as it's useful."

"Let's go, it's a good opportunity to test my current level as an alchemist."

Zhou Sui nodded.

He had just advanced to the realm of a Rank Three Low Grade alchemist and wanted to see what it was like to refine pills as a Rank Three alchemist.

Zoom!

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui embraced Mu Ziyan's slender waist and activated the Teleportation Gu. In an instant, he brought Mu Ziyan to the center of the Pill Peak, where the Peak Master was still Ma Qianjun.

He was considered an old servant of the Immortal Mist Sect, accompanying them from Xianxia Island to Shuixing Island, never leaving or abandoning his duty, working hard and achieving great success.

"Elder Zhou is here."

At this moment, the disciples on the Pill Peak noticed Zhou Sui's arrival for the first time. Their faces were filled with joy because Zhou Sui had long been the Immortal Mist Sect's top alchemist.

His alchemy skills surpassed even the Pill Peak's Peak Master, Ma Qianjun.

Every time Zhou Sui practiced alchemy, he would attract a large number of disciples from the Pill Peak to watch.

Being able to observe such high-level alchemy greatly benefited every alchemist.

"This is great."

"With Elder Zhou's help, the Foundation Building Pills this time will definitely be foolproof."

"Of course. In the previous few times, Elder Zhou had a hundred percent success rate, and every pill was a high-quality Foundation Building Pill. His alchemy skills are truly exceptional."

"That's normal. It is said that one of Elder Zhou's partners is Shen Biqian, the Sect Master of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, who is a Rank Three alchemist. He must have gained a lot of alchemy experience from her."

"Although having a good teacher and friend is important, Elder Zhou's talent is also exceptional. Being an alchemist is not just about having a good teacher; without talent, one cannot go far."

"That's true. Even with a good teacher guiding us, it's highly unlikely that we can reach the same heights as Elder Zhou."

Many alchemists admired Zhou Sui wholeheartedly.

After all, no one understood the difficulty of alchemy better than them. But for this man in front of them, it seemed as simple as eating and drinking.

His talent in alchemy was truly astonishing.

"Elder Zhou, the auxiliary spiritual herbs for the Foundation Building Pills are ready."

"Can we start alchemy now?"

Peak Master Ma Qianjun also ran over, his face full of flattery.

"Yes, let's begin."

Zhou Sui nodded and immediately approached the pill furnace.

This was the Immortal Mist Sect's pill furnace, a High Grade Spiritual Weapon, extremely precious.

It was many times better than the pill furnace he had bought before.

Ignoring the surrounding cultivators watching him, Zhou Sui directly made his move. He formed hand seals with both hands and used the Five Elements Alchemy Technique.

Boom!

Instantly, the spiritual herbs were instantly refined by the power of the Five Elements, even the Rank Two Monster Cores. All impurities were expelled, leaving only the essence crystallized.

For Zhou Sui, who had already reached the mastery level of the Five Elements Alchemy Technique, this step was simply effortless.

It could be said that he had reached a profound level.

No matter how difficult it was to remove impurities from the spiritual herbs, he effortlessly stripped them away.

"Gold Core Domain!"

At this moment, Zhou Sui's heart moved, and he immediately activated the power of his Gold Core Domain.

An invisible power of divine consciousness formed a transparent barrier, like a transparent balloon, enveloping all the liquid medicines, preventing their medicinal properties from dissipating.

"So that's how it is. The power of the domain is so mysterious."

Zhou Sui was overjoyed.

Obviously, the Gold Core Domain's function was not only for fighting and overpowering opponents. It also provided a substantial improvement for various cultivation arts.

This was an indispensable technique for a Rank Three alchemist.

After being enveloped by the power of the domain, each drop of spiritual liquid can perfectly preserve its medicinal properties.

No matter how it is refined, it will not reduce the medicinal properties of each dose of spiritual medicine.

Therefore, a Rank Three alchemist can easily refine pill after pill, as well as refine high-quality and perfect pills.

This is simply something that a Rank Two alchemist cannot compare to.

The difference in skill level between the two is too great.

Boom~~

Under Zhou Sui's control, the drops of spiritual liquid integrated with each other and were refined by the power of the five elements.

It's unknown how much time has passed, but many drops of spiritual liquid have condensed together.

Dong!

The entire pill furnace trembled lightly, and a rosy glow spread out, filling the entire pill refining room with a rich pill fragrance.

All cultivators could smell this fragrant aroma, which invigorated their spirits and shook their minds.

"It's done, the Foundation Building Pill is finally done."

"Each pill is plump and flawless, without any impurities, and they are all high-quality Foundation Building Pills."

"Wait, why are there six high-quality Foundation Building Pills? Wasn't there supposed to be only three?"

Many alchemists exclaimed, their eyes wide open.

They were astonished to see that there were six high-quality Foundation Building Pills inside the pill furnace.

Compared to before, there were twice as many pills.

"Six high-quality Foundation Building Pills?"

"It is rumored that a Rank Three alchemist can perfectly control the medicinal properties of each medicinal plant."

"So, they can produce more pills than other alchemists."

"Could it be that Elder Zhou has already reached Rank Three?"

"No, that's impossible. It's too absurd. Only a Gold Core Perfected Being can become a Rank Three alchemist."

"This is already a law, even if Elder Zhou is a genius, he is still just a Foundation Building cultivator."

"It's impossible for him to become a Rank Three alchemist."

The Peak Master of the Pill Peak, Ma Qianjun, contracted his pupils and took a sharp breath, looking at Zhou Sui in shock.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly, feeling quite satisfied with the six pills that were formed.

Just now, he was just testing the waters. Using the power of the domain to refine pills was indeed successful.

Before he had the power of the domain, when he refined pills, he would always waste more than half of the medicinal properties.

So no matter how he eliminated impurities from the spiritual medicine, he could only produce three pills.

But now it's different.

By using the power of the domain to form a barrier, sealing each drop of spiritual liquid, no medicinal properties can escape.

Almost 100% is preserved.

As a result, the condensed pills are naturally more than twice as many as before.

It is because of this that Rank Three alchemists find it so easy to make money.

Even if it's the same batch of spiritual medicine, they can produce more pills and earn twice as much money.

It is not something that a Rank Two alchemist can compare to.

After several hours passed.

The remaining two Rank Two Monster Cores were all refined by Zhou Sui into twelve high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

A total of eighteen pills were successfully refined this time.

Each high-quality Foundation Building Pill can be sold for at least over one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones in this sea area.

So, excluding the cost, they made a net profit of over one million low-grade spirit stones this time.

This is the efficiency of an alchemist's money-making.

There is no need to go out and fight, just refining pills at home can earn an endless amount of spirit stones.

Highly skilled talents are highly sought after in any world.

...

Nighttime.

Water Spirit Island, Xianxia Peak Palace.

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Leng Yuxi, Shen Biqian, and Zhou Sui gathered together to have a meal. The table was filled with various delicious dishes, emitting a fragrant aroma that made people salivate.

"Husband, I heard that you refined a total of eighteen high-quality Foundation Building Pills this time?"

"And you only used three sets of medicinal herbs for Foundation Building Pills?"

"Could it be that Husband has already become a Rank Three alchemist?"

Shen Biqian curiously asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Sui.

As a Rank Three High Grade alchemist, she naturally knew what abilities a Rank Three alchemist possessed.

Generally speaking, it would be considered good for a Rank Two alchemist to refine three Foundation Building Pills.

But now, her Husband was able to refine six pills.

This must be the ability that only a Rank Three alchemist has.

"Yes, I have indeed become a Rank Three alchemist."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly, not hiding anything.

If it were outsiders, he naturally wouldn't want to reveal his secrets.

But since they were his wives, there was no harm in letting them know his secrets. It wasn't a big deal.

"Husband is truly amazing."

"I have never heard of a Foundation Building cultivator becoming a Rank Three alchemist."

"I'm afraid Husband is the first Rank Three alchemist in the history of Xianxia Island at the Foundation Building stage."

Shen Biqian looked at Zhou Sui with watery eyes, full of admiration and charm.

If they weren't still eating, she would have probably pounced on him already.

Her own man was truly an unimaginable genius.

"Cough, it's just a small achievement."

"How is the situation in Xianxia City recently? Has there been any major issues?"

Zhou Sui waved his hand, changing the topic. He wanted to know the current situation in Xianxia City.

After all, it also concerned the future of the three major sects.

"Thanks to Husband, there have been frequent appearances of high-quality Foundation Building Pills at the auction."

"It has attracted a large number of independent cultivators and clan cultivators to come to Xianxia City for trading."

"Now, the number of foreign cultivators settled in Immortal Mist Sect has exceeded one hundred thousand."

"It can be said that just the taxes and fees earned a large amount of spirit stones every day."

"Indeed, establishing a trading city is more profitable."

"If we rely solely on selling elixirs, spirit talismans, and Law Weapons, it would be impossible to support the cultivators of the three major sects."

Leng Yuxi sighed.

After becoming the sect master of Immortal Mist Sect, she realized how difficult it was to develop a sect.

If she stayed on Xianxia Island, there wouldn't be many enemies around, and there wouldn't be so much to worry about.

But after coming to the Infinite Unity Alliance, there were Gold Core forces everywhere, and they had to deal with them at every turn.

They were almost constantly constrained, making it much more difficult to develop.

"I hope the rapid development of Immortal Mist Sect won't cause any trouble."

Zhou Sui frowned.

To be honest, the rapid development of Xianxia City might not necessarily be a good thing.

After all, the cake in this sea area is only so big.

If Xianxia City takes away a piece of it, other forces will have less of the cake.

This is bound to cause conflicts and arouse the hostility of other Gold Core forces.

But this is also inevitable.

Because would they just refrain from developing and hand over their interests in order to avoid arousing the hostility of other forces?

That's impossible.

In the world of cultivation, there is a need for struggle.

Striving for peace through struggle is the superior method.

Although he was a follower of the Gu Dao, it didn't mean he had to endure humiliation.

"Indeed, we have caused some trouble."

"For example, the ruler of this area, the Yu family."

"Due to the rapid development of Xianxia City, the number of independent cultivators going to Yu Family Island has decreased significantly."

"It's equivalent to taking away a part of the Yu family's interests."

"They have expressed their dissatisfaction with us."

"They even want to restrict our sale of high-quality Foundation Building Pills, thinking that we shouldn't auction off so many Foundation Building Pills."

"At the same time, other Gold Core families have also expressed similar opinions to some extent."

"But with the three major sects joining forces, these Gold Core families dare not openly confront us."

Leng Yuxi said in a deep voice.

Recently, Immortal Mist Sect, Alchemy Cauldron Sect, and Azure Wood Sect have indeed faced pressure from other Gold Core families.

After all, they are all external forces.

Naturally, they can't compare to the centuries-old relationships of these Gold Core families.

If they join forces to exert pressure, it might not be a good thing.

The three major sects might suffer heavy blows.

"Restrict our sale of high-quality Foundation Building Pills?"

"They have the nerve to ask for that."

"This is fair business competition. If they have the ability, they can also refine high-quality Foundation Building Pills."

Mu Ziyan said disdainfully, "The Yu family probably doesn't have the ability to do so."

"Although their family has five Gold Core Perfected Beings, they don't have a Rank Three Alchemist."

"They can't afford to support a Rank Three Alchemist."

"At most, they have a Rank Two Alchemist."

"So they don't have the ability to produce high-quality Foundation Building Pills like Husband does in every furnace."

"In this way, they naturally can't compete with us."

Xia Jingyan smiled slightly.

A Rank Three Alchemist is not something that a Gold Core family can afford. They are usually absorbed by Nascent Soul forces.

"If that's the case, we have to be careful of their desperate measures."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, the Gold Core families that can survive in the cultivation world are not good people.

If they can't win in a business war, they will definitely secretly take action.

They might even resort to physical elimination.

This is the simplest method in the cultivation world.

Fighting is everywhere in this sea area.

It is even more intense than Xianxia Island.

"Don't worry, Husband."

"I have instructed the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect to be careful during this period."

"To avoid the attacks of the Yu family cultivators."

Leng Yuxi nodded. She also felt the need to be cautious of the attacks from these Gold Core families, to prevent them from resorting to desperate measures.

"I'm not worried about the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect, but I'm worried about all of you."

"If any of you have an accident, it will be an irreparable loss."

"Without you, even if I achieve immortality, it will be meaningless."

Zhou Sui looked affectionately at Leng Yuxi and the other Dao companions, and these heartfelt words came out naturally.

It can be said that this has become his instinct.

"Husband."

Upon hearing these words, Leng Yuxi, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Shen Biqian, and others were deeply moved. Even though they had heard such words countless times, they never tired of them.

"Here's the plan, I am proficient in the art of creating clones."

"I will leave a clone by your side."

"If anything unexpected happens, this clone will intervene and save you."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment and decided to leave one of his clones by the side of his Dao companions.

After all, his Clone Gu has reached the Rank Two High Grade realm and can produce seventy-two clones.

Each clone inherits half of his original body's combat power.

With his current physical strength comparable to a Gold Core cultivator, even with only half of his combat power remaining, he can contend with early-stage Gold Core cultivators. This power should be able to deal with many threats.

Moreover, each clone can also use the Illusion Demon Transformation technique to transform into a rope and wrap around their hair.

It is also very convenient to carry.

"Thank you, Husband."

Ji Bingyu and the others sweetly said, knowing the power of their Husband's Doppelganger Technique, their combat strength was definitely extraordinary.

If there was a clone by their side, it could be used as a trump card in critical moments.

Although they usually wouldn't leave the Immortal Mist Sect.

But who knows if there might be any accidents.

Having such a trump card naturally brought them peace of mind.

"It's getting late, let's go take a bath."

Zhou Sui said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the women blushed. They knew exactly what this scoundrel was thinking.

But they were all old couples, and they weren't as shy about such things as they were in the beginning.

Each of them showed off their impressive figures and walked gracefully towards the hot springs of Xianxia Peak.

They enjoyed the pleasure of this fish and water.

Soon, the hot springs were filled with pleasant sounds.

...

At this moment, on Yu Island.

Many Gold Core cultivators gathered in a mansion.

Not only were there Gold Core Perfected Beings from the Yu family, but also from the Dai family, the Song family, and other Gold Core Perfected Beings.

It can be said that many Gold Core Perfected Beings from the Gold Core families near the Sanxing Islands attended this meeting.

"I believe you should also know the reason why I invited you here."

"The reason is to invite you to come here and discuss how to counter the threat of Xianxia City."

Speaking was Yu Ming, the head of the Yu family, a Gold Core early-stage cultivator.

He exuded a powerful majesty that enveloped the surroundings.

"Xianxia City? Is it the recently risen trading city?"

"It is said that they auction off a large number of high-quality Foundation Building Pills every year, attracting many independent cultivators to go there."

"Even some family cultivators are the same."

"In just five years, the population of Xianxia City has exceeded one hundred thousand, taking away a lot of our business."

Speaking was Dai Pengfei, a Gold Core Perfected Being from the Dai family, a Gold Core early-stage cultivator.

His expression was also very serious.

"I believe everyone also knows that this sea area is only so big."

"If all the independent cultivators go to Xianxia City, where will our business be?"

"In just five years, it has attracted one hundred thousand cultivators to live there."

"What about ten years, twenty years? Won't millions of cultivators go to live there?"

"By then, our cities will have no one coming to trade, and it will inevitably be desolate."

"No one will have anything to eat."

Yu Ming gritted his teeth, very angry.

Five years ago, he also knew that the Sanxing Islands would be occupied by the three major Gold Core sects.

But he didn't pay any attention to these three foreign sects at all.

It's just that they are outsiders, how can they compare to the Gold Core family that has been in business for hundreds of years?

Who could have imagined that the three major sects would create a Xianxia City together, and even produce a large number of high-quality Foundation Building Pills, attracting countless cultivators to come and trade, creating a syphon effect.

After these five years, Yu Family Island is no longer as glorious as it used to be.

A large number of cultivators have moved to Xianxia City to settle down.

Because Xianxia City offers high-quality products at affordable prices, as well as a supply of high-quality Foundation Building Pills.

Anyone who has aspirations for the Dao will know how to choose.

Even the Independent Cultivators are very practical, they have to rely on someone.

"Xianxia City is indeed a bit excessive."

"Coming to this sea area and not coming to us to pay respects."

"They want to monopolize such a large benefit, aren't they planning to kill us?"

"They don't want to give us a way out, so we don't need to give them face."

Many Gold Core Perfected Beings nodded in agreement.

They have been connected for hundreds of years, like branches of the same tree.

Xianxia City is just an external force, so naturally they are united against it.

"Yes, it seems that we have reached a consensus."

"I had previously issued them an ultimatum, not allowing them to sell high-quality Foundation Building Pills."

"Without high-quality Foundation Building Pills, Xianxia City naturally loses much of its appeal."

"Who knew they would refuse to give me face and not accept my ultimatum."

"In that case, there is no need to negotiate with Xianxia City."

"We, the united Gold Core families, will collectively sanction Xianxia City."

Yu Family's patriarch, Yu Ming, said with a murderous aura.

He finally revealed his true intentions.

By gathering so many Gold Core Perfected Beings, he wanted to unite the power of many Gold Core families to sanction Xianxia City.

In this way, Xianxia City would have no place to hide.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yu plans to do?"

"Could it be that you want to attack Xianxia City?"

A Gold Core Perfected Being asked, wanting to know what Yu Family's next plan was.

"That's right, of course I want to attack Xianxia City."

"I want to test the strength of Xianxia City."

"If they can withstand it, it means they have the qualifications to survive in this sea area."

"If they can't, we can swallow Xianxia City and annihilate the three major sects."

Yu Ming, the patriarch of the Yu Family, stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing a cold light.
