Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 225: Successful Foundation Building, Solidified Mana

Several days later.

Clearly, Zhou Sui and Lin Yazhu's wedding went smoothly.

Basically, all the guests were happy, and there was no cultivator who dared to cause trouble at the wedding.

After all, who would dare to cause trouble at the wedding of a Gold Core Perfected Being, unless they were seeking death.

Even if they were extremely jealous of Zhou Sui, they wouldn't dare to say it to his face, and could only secretly resent him.

From then on, the sect masters of the three major sects became Zhou Sui's Dao companions.

And Zhou Sui actually became the ruler of the three major sects, the true Supreme Emperor.

Of course, for Zhou Sui, it wasn't a big deal.

The storms outside couldn't affect him.

Now his most important goal is to improve his cultivation and advance to the Gold Core realm.

Besides his own cultivation, everything else is insignificant.

...

Five years later.

In a quiet room.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Divine Gu Sutra. The vast spiritual energy surged towards him, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy centered around his body.

At the same time, the gu worms on his body were also absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy, forming small vortexes of spiritual energy.

These spiritual energies entered his body through his spiritual roots, then transformed into droplets of mana.

Boom~~~

After operating for a full 108 cycles, Zhou Sui opened his eyes and sensed that the mana in his body had condensed to the extreme. The sea of qi in his dantian was flowing with a large amount of liquid mana, like a small lake.

"Successful Foundation Building."

"I finally advanced to the perfect Foundation Building stage."

"The Divine Gu Sutra, with a thousand droplets of mana as the limit, reaching this level in Foundation Building means there is no further progress."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly. He had spent five years in arduous cultivation, constantly absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, coupled with dual cultivation with his Dao companion, finally raising the mana in his body to the extreme, reaching the perfect stage of Foundation Building.

He sensed that there were already a thousand droplets of mana in his body.

Basically, it had reached the limit that his sea of qi could contain, and further improvement was impossible.

Next, there was only Core Formation.

"Now I am already fifty years old."

"Just at the age of fifty, I have cultivated to the perfect stage of Foundation Building."

"Even the cultivation speed of a cultivator with a Heaven Spirit Root is probably similar, right?"

Zhou Sui was in a very pleasant mood.

He sensed that the droplets of liquid mana in his sea of qi seemed to be solidifying continuously, just like the process of liquid turning into ice.

According to the experience of Core Formation in Azure Wood Sect, Immortal Mist Sect, and Alchemy Cauldron Sect, it is evident that this is greatly beneficial for Core Formation and is also a positive phenomenon.

"This is the advantage of independent Foundation Building."

"The spiritual energy in the body is purer compared to cultivators who use Foundation Building Pills for advancement, without any impurities."

"Other Foundation Building cultivators need to consume Foundation Building spiritual objects to cleanse the impurities in their bodies in order to solidify their spiritual energy."

"But I am different, I don't need to consume any Foundation Building spiritual objects at all."

"Because the spiritual energy in my body is too pure, it has autonomously started to solidify."

"And now, the solidification of spiritual energy has reached ten percent, and this process is still ongoing."

"When the spiritual energy is completely solidified and reaches its limit, that will be the time to start Core Formation."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling that his Core Formation was imminent.

Of course, it is difficult to accelerate this state of spiritual energy solidification.

Unless one consumes Core Formation spiritual objects, it is possible to accelerate this process.

But Zhou Sui is not in a hurry, nor will he consume Core Formation spiritual objects. He wants his spiritual energy to solidify naturally.

Let it be.

After all, this way, the foundation of his Core Formation will be more perfect, and he will be able to condense a more powerful Gold Core.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time to wait for the complete solidification of the spiritual energy in his dantian and sea of qi.

He is only fifty years old now.

For a Foundation Building cultivator, he is still very young.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui also opened his virtual panel.

[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Foundation Building Late Stage (99% progress), Lifespan: 50 (3200) years]

[Talent: Fifth Grade Spiritual Root (30%)]

[Sword Dao: Rank Three Lower Grade (50%)]

"Not bad."

Looking at the data on his virtual panel, Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

Although there hasn't been much progress in his other cultivation skills in the past five years, after all, he mainly focused on improving his cultivation level, which is why he was able to advance to the perfect stage of Foundation Building so quickly.

But it can also be considered a bit of progress.

After all, after years of hard work, even a little progress is quite astonishing.

*Snap*

At this moment, Zhou Sui opened the door, left the quiet room, stretched his lazy waist, and breathed in the fresh air outside.

"Husband, have you finished your seclusion?"

"Wait, could it be that Husband has reached the perfect stage of Foundation Building?"

At this moment, Leng Yuxi happened to pass by the quiet room. She sensed the aura emanating from Zhou Sui and couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

Of course, the reason she could sense Zhou Sui's aura was because he hadn't used any illusion techniques.

Otherwise, Leng Yuxi wouldn't have been able to perceive it.

"That's right."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly and admitted it directly.

"That's great."

"Husband is truly a peerless genius."

"Just fifty years old, and already at the perfect stage of Foundation Building."

"Back in my day, I didn't reach this realm until I was eighty."

"I didn't expect Husband to start Core Formation now."

Leng Yuxi was overjoyed and felt extremely happy.

Because once Zhou Sui successfully achieved Core Formation, Immortal Mist City would have another Gold Core expert, greatly increasing the strength of Immortal Mist City and bringing immense benefits in all aspects.

"You still have a long way to go. You've just started."

"There's still a long way to go before Core Formation."

"After all, Core Formation requires passing three tests. It must be taken seriously."

Zhou Sui waved his hand and humbly said.

Although his chances of Core Formation were over ninety percent, until he succeeded, everything was just talk.

He would never take it lightly, lest he capsize in the gutter.

"I don't care."

"With Husband's talent, Core Formation is definitely a sure thing."

Leng Yuxi didn't care about these things. She believed that her Husband was a celestial being who had descended to the mortal world. Core Formation was as easy as turning over his hand, it was nothing at all.

She hugged Zhou Sui's arm, as if she wanted to merge her body into his.

"Alright, alright, I'll take your word for it."

Zhou Sui was helpless, but he didn't stop Leng Yuxi's enthusiasm.

"Husband, how about we go to Immortal Mist City for a stroll?"

"It seems like Husband hasn't left the mountain for a long time."

Leng Yuxi suggested, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Zhou Sui.

She also wanted to stroll the streets with Zhou Sui like an ordinary couple.

"Alright."

Seeing Leng Yuxi's eager gaze, Zhou Sui had no intention of refusing. To be honest, he had indeed stayed on Immortal Mist Peak for a long time and rarely came down the mountain.

Visiting Immortal Mist City was not a big deal.

After all, it was still the territory of the Immortal Mist Sect.

There would be no unexpected incidents, it was safe.

Whoosh!

In no time, Zhou Sui and Leng Yuxi's figures flashed, and they immediately arrived at a huge city near the main sect of the Immortal Mist Sect. It was located on the edge of Water Mercury Island, a seaside city.

Of course, the two of them naturally used illusion techniques to change their appearances and turned into ordinary people.

Otherwise, if Zhou Sui and Leng Yuxi appeared in Immortal Mist City with their true appearances, it would definitely shock the disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect and the other two major sects. There would be a swarm of disciples coming towards them.

That would deviate from their original intention.

"Hmm, Immortal Mist City has become so big?"

After entering Immortal Mist City, Zhou Sui looked around and found that compared to five years ago, the area of Immortal Mist City seemed to have expanded more than tenfold. There were streets crisscrossing in all directions.

Buildings rose up one after another.

There were also a large number of cultivators on the streets, bustling and prosperous.

Some people carried long swords on their backs, some had gourds hanging from their waists, and some rode giant beasts.

In short, there were all kinds of cultivators, everything you could imagine.

This scene was like returning to the Misty Cloud City of the past.

Of course, the cultivators in Immortal Mist City were much stronger than those in the Misty Cloud City of the past.

There were cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage everywhere, and Foundation Building cultivators could occasionally be seen.

This seemed to be the true city of cultivators.

"Of course."

"Five years ago, after Husband and Sister Lin killed the ten Gold Core Perfected Beings from the Yu Family, there were basically no forces in this sea area that could contend with us."

"After losing their Gold Core Perfected Beings, those Gold Core families all hid on their own islands. They didn't dare to come out, fearing our retaliation."

"It's because of this that Immortal Mist City has experienced rapid development in these five years."

"The population has reached over five hundred thousand and is still increasing."

"A large number of cultivators have also brought numerous business opportunities and cultivation resources."

"It can be said that Immortal Mist City has become the largest trading city in this sea area."

Leng Yuxi said proudly.

After all, she had witnessed Immortal Mist City go from nothing to a city with a population of five hundred thousand.

This is already quite an astonishing development.

Because these are 500,000 cultivators, not 500,000 ordinary people.

The two are fundamentally incomparable.

It can be said that Xianxia City has become the biggest source of wealth for the three major sects.

Every year, they can obtain a continuous supply of resources and spirit stones from Xianxia City.

Moreover, the wealth earned by the Immortal Mist Sect now exceeds what they used to earn on Xianxia Island.

Because the resources in this sea area are incredibly abundant.

Not only are there various materials from demonic beasts and various monster cores, but there are also a large number of spiritual medicines, spiritual materials, and so on.

Spiritual medicines that cannot be found on Xianxia Island are everywhere in this sea area.

It is because of this that the strength of the Immortal Mist Sect has greatly increased during this period, and many Foundation Building elders have been born.

"What about the others? Where did they go?"

Zhou Sui asked about the whereabouts of the other fellow disciples.

"Sister Shen is staying on Mars Island. She is currently obsessed with alchemy and hasn't left the alchemy room for several days."

"As for Sister Lin, she is still in seclusion, seemingly constantly honing her Gold Core cultivation to prepare for the Nascent Soul stage."

"Sister Ji is staying in the Immortal Mist Sect. She is now the Peak Master of the Sword Peak and should be guiding disciples in cultivating the sword dao. She has already reached the Rank Two High Grade realm and is more than capable of guiding disciples."

"As for Sister Xia, she is still studying formation knowledge on the Formation Peak. Recently, she seems to have gained a deep understanding of formations and has helped the Immortal Mist Sect build many Rank Two formations."

"As for Sister Mu, she is now the most powerful talisman master in our Immortal Mist Sect. She has opened a talisman shop in Xianxia City, specializing in selling the talismans refined by our Immortal Mist Sect. The talismans she refines have received widespread praise, and she should be selling talismans in Xianxia City now."

Leng Yuxi briefly mentioned the recent situations of the sisters.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui felt very satisfied. This is the peaceful daily life of cultivation. It is nothing like the days spent in Misty Cloud City, where he was constantly on edge, fearing that he would be killed by other cultivators at any moment.

Living in constant fear almost every day is not a way for a person to live.

Of course, even the current Xianxia City is probably not much different from Misty Cloud City.

The reason for this change is purely because his own strength has become stronger.

His cultivation has not only reached the peak of Foundation Building, but his physical body is comparable to a Gold Core body cultivator.

Even if he encounters a cultivator in the early stage of Gold Core, he can defeat them in battle.

With this, the factors that can threaten him are greatly reduced, so naturally he doesn't need to be as fearful as before. This is also the driving force behind his continuous improvement in cultivation.

He is not only doing it to prolong his lifespan, but also to live safely and comfortably.

Next, Zhou Sui and Leng Yuxi stroll around Xianxia City.

They buy street snacks.

They also try on some new clothes and shoes.

They even go to see the stalls set up by independent cultivators, hoping to find some bargains.

They spend the whole afternoon shopping.

Zhou Sui hadn't enjoyed shopping like this for a long time, as if he had returned to a previous life. He felt that his soul had become much calmer.

"Hmm?!"

In the evening, as the sun was about to set, Zhou Sui planned to return to Xianxia Peak. But suddenly, he felt a tremor and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

"What's wrong, Husband?"

Leng Yuxi immediately noticed her husband's expression and couldn't help but ask.

"Something's wrong. Ziyuan is in danger."

"A Gold Core cultivator is planning to take her away."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, his face serious. He sensed that his clone left on Mu Ziyan had also made a move, blocking the sudden attack from the other party and saving Mu Ziyan.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuxi was also shocked. This was Xianxia City, which Gold Core cultivator would dare to act recklessly here, especially in broad daylight.

Whoosh!

But Zhou Sui didn't say anything. He used the Teleportation Gu and instantly appeared by Mu Ziyan's side.

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

The time was slightly earlier.

A young man dressed in luxurious clothes with a pale complexion appeared in Xianxia City. He was accompanied by two early Gold Core stage guards and exuded a terrifying aura.

His name was Shangguan Xu, a cultivator in the early Gold Core stage.

If that was all, it would be fine. But his father was the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Infinite Unity Alliance, named Shangguan Qing.

With the reputation of his father, he was practically unbridled in this sea area.

No matter where he went, he would be treated as an honored guest.

This person was greedy and lustful, a typical playboy. His bad reputation had long spread throughout the Infinite Unity Alliance.

But due to his own cultivation level and the fact that his father was a Nascent Soul ancestor, most people could only endure silently.

"Tsk tsk, is this Xianxia City?"

"It has only been ten years, and it has already reached this scale."

"It seems that the cultivators here know how to accumulate wealth."

Shangguan Xu's eyes revealed a greedy look as he looked at the bustling shops and the endless stream of cultivators. In his eyes, this city was like a fat sheep.

Before coming to Xianxia City, he had investigated all the information here.

Xianxia City was controlled by three external Gold Core sects that had only joined the Infinite Unity Alliance in the past ten years.

It could be said that there was no Nascent Soul ancestor supporting them from behind.

At the same time, they were his favorite targets for extortion.

Although his father was a Nascent Soul ancestor, he was also the 18th son of Shangguan Ancestor. He had at least one or two hundred siblings.

If he wanted to obtain resources, he still needed some tricks.

So, powerful individuals like this, without any background, are his favorite targets for extortion.

As long as he succeeds once, he doesn't have to worry about cultivation resources for the next few decades.

Even if he fails, it doesn't matter. With the identity of his father, Nascent Soul Patriarch, no one dares to harm him.

Because of this, he has been rampant in the Infinite Unity Alliance for over three hundred years, committing all sorts of evil deeds, yet still thriving.

"Young Master, I heard that there are three Gold Core female cultivators in control of Xianxia City."

"Their temperament, appearance, and figure are all excellent. They are known as the Three Beauties of Xianxia City, with a renowned reputation."

"If Young Master can marry these three Gold Core female cultivators as concubines, I'm afraid this city will be easily within our grasp."

A flatteringly said by a guard beside him. He is Zhang Wen, a cultivator in the early stage of Gold Core, assigned to protect Shangguan Xu, under the command of Nascent Soul Patriarch Shangguan Qing.

"But I heard that they already have partners."

Another Gold Core guard said. His name is Li Hu, also a cultivator in the early stage of Gold Core.

"They have partners? That's even better, isn't it?"

"I like female cultivators who have partners. I don't like those without partners."

Shangguan Xu's eyes lit up, feeling very excited.

He has inherited the personality of his father, Nascent Soul Patriarch Shangguan Qing, which is to indulge in pleasure without restraint.

He has already taken away more than a hundred female cultivators by force.

The male cultivators whose partners were taken away by him dare not speak up, after all, with Nascent Soul Patriarch backing him, who dares to say anything.

"Young Master, this matter probably needs careful consideration."

"After all, they are Gold Core female cultivators, and their strength is not to be underestimated."

Guard Li Hu advised.

He doesn't care about the thoughts of those Gold Core female cultivators, he is just afraid that his young master will be harmed.

After all, if he really angers the Gold Core female cultivators, in a life-and-death struggle, his young master might be killed.

Although some people would consider Nascent Soul Patriarch, there are also those who wouldn't.

Anything can happen in this vast sea.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is like alchemy, it requires preparation in advance."

"Without absolute certainty, how could I act rashly?"

Shangguan Xu smiled slightly.

Although he is a playboy, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

If the other party is really difficult to deal with, he won't rush in recklessly and give away his life for nothing.

"Young Master, look at that talisman shop."

"The shopkeeper inside seems to be a beauty."

At this moment, guard Zhang Wen exclaimed excitedly, looking towards a huge talisman shop in the distance.

Inside, there happened to be a stunning woman inspecting the shop.

And this stunning woman is none other than Mu Ziyan.

She is wearing a purple long dress, outlining her exquisite figure, with fair skin like snow, and a captivating beauty.

Especially after a long period of cultivation, a hint of charm radiates from her face, making her look like a ripe peach.

But her face is also incredibly pure, and her watery eyes seem to speak.

This woman, who combines purity and allure, is truly Supreme Grade in the world.

Not only Zhang Wen, the bodyguard, but also the men around cannot take their eyes off her.

"Supreme Grade, truly Supreme Grade."

"I, Shangguan Xu, have played with so many women, but this woman can be called the first."

"I must have her."

"Zhang Wen, attack and snatch this woman for me."

"Tonight, I want to see her sleeping in my bed."

Shangguan Xu's eyes suddenly became hot, as if spewing fire, eager to possess this woman immediately.

He hasn't been this excited for a long time.

Although he doesn't know the origin of this woman, it doesn't matter.

After all, no one can compare to his father, Nascent Soul Patriarch.

Over the years, as long as he wants a woman, even if it's on the street, he can snatch her away.

If anyone dares to stop him, they will be killed on the spot.

"Yes, young master."

Hearing this, Zhang Wen, the bodyguard, flashed like a ghost, and a terrifying Gold Core domain instantly enveloped the rune shop. The bodies of all the cultivators inside the shop couldn't move.

Everyone was horrified, as if they had encountered an ancient fierce beast, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, the spiritual energy of this area seemed to stop flowing.

But this is the power of a Gold Core cultivator. For other cultivators, it is like an immortal god, impossible to resist.

What?!

Mu Ziyan naturally sensed this power too. She was stunned. She was just patrolling inside the shop, checking the situation of the talisman sales.

But who could have expected that she would encounter such a disaster, being attacked by a Gold Core cultivator.

It was simply an unprovoked calamity.

However, at this moment, she also calmed down.

Even if the enemy is a Gold Core Perfected Being, she still has the trump card left by her Husband.

In an instant, a clone of Zhou Sui sensed that Mu Ziyan was in danger and immediately appeared, transforming into the appearance of a strange Gold Core cultivator.

"Seeking death."

The clone Zhou Sui's expression was cold, looking at the attacking Zhang Wen as if looking at a dead person. A dragon-like aura emanated from him as he struck out with a punch.
