Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 27: The Book-Devouring Gu Worm and Increased Understanding

It didn't take long for Zhao the shopkeeper to hand over all the materials to Zhou Sui.

"Not bad."

After obtaining these materials, Zhou Sui immediately felt relieved. It seemed that he had completely gathered all the materials for refining the book gu.

"By the way, Zhao the shopkeeper, how is the situation with the Immortal Mist Sect entering the Cloud Mist Mountain Range? Is it going smoothly?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately inquired about the news.

After all, the success or failure of the Immortal Mist Sect was related to the future of Misty Cloud City, which would determine whether Misty Cloud City would be in turmoil or not.

As a resident of Misty Cloud City, he naturally cared a lot about this matter.

And as the manager of the Pill Pavilion, Zhao the shopkeeper must have very reliable information.

"Well, of course it's going smoothly. After all, this time the Immortal Mist Sect is bound to succeed. They have sent several Foundation Building cultivators, so there is no room for failure. Misty Cloud City will soon return to its previous tranquility, and there won't be any problems."

"I see, that's great."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui also felt relieved. After all, he was staying in Misty Cloud City and could continue to cultivate until the Foundation Building stage. He didn't want to abandon this safe haven because of danger.

In other places, it might not be as safe as Misty Cloud City, nor would there be so many cultivation resources.

Swoosh!

After saying these words, Zhou Sui bid farewell to Zhao the shopkeeper and headed home.

At this time, several assistants from the Pill Pavilion had a sinister look on their faces, seemingly harboring ill intentions and wanting to follow Zhou Sui.

"It's better for you guys not to provoke this kid. Behind him is a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level. If this kid dies, do you think that cultivator won't be angry?"

"And this kid is also that cultivator's man, receiving her favor. Who knows what life-saving treasures he has on him."

"If you don't want to die, it's better not to act recklessly."

Zhao the shopkeeper calmly said.

"This!"

Hearing this, the faces of the assistants immediately stiffened. They had previously thought that Zhou Sui might have thousands of low-grade spirit stones on him and wanted to quietly rob him.

After all, for them, it was a huge fortune that was hard to resist.

Moreover, Misty Cloud City was currently in chaos, with no law enforcement. Even if they killed the other party, no one would be able to do anything to them.

But after hearing what Zhao the shopkeeper said, they immediately calmed down.

Because behind this kid was a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level, whose strength was extraordinary and profound.

Even if they really wanted to make a move, they might not be able to handle it well.

"Shopkeeper is joking. We are all law-abiding citizens. How could we do such things as robbing rogue cultivators?"

One of the assistants awkwardly smiled, dispelling the idea of killing Zhou Sui. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the confidence.

Moreover, it seemed that Zhao the shopkeeper also had the intention to protect Zhou Sui, so he dared not make a move.

"That's good."

Zhao the shopkeeper smiled faintly and didn't say much.

He had a certain fondness for Zhou Sui. After all, they had known each other for more than ten years, but it was just a few words exchanged, nothing more.

...

At this time, the clone Zhou Sui also returned home unharmed, without being attacked by other cultivators on the way.

At the same time, he also handed over all the materials to the main body.

"It was just a matter of buying something, and it unexpectedly triggered a killing spree."

"Wealth must not be revealed, wealth must not be revealed."

Perceiving the message transmitted by the clone, Zhou Sui clenched his fist. He could clearly sense the murderous intent and greed of those several alchemy store employees. It was obvious that they had their eyes on the spiritual stones on his body and wanted to kill him and take his treasures.

He didn't expect that he would be targeted by other cultivators just by going to a regular shop to purchase spiritual materials.

It can be imagined how dangerous the cultivation world is. If one possesses wealth that surpasses their own strength, they have a way to invite death.

Previously, he had always stayed at home to cultivate and never made the decision to go on adventures. It seems that was the right choice.

At the beginning, he was only a Qi Refining first level cultivator. If he had exposed the fact that he had a large amount of spiritual stones on him, he would have been assassinated by other envious cultivators long ago and wouldn't have survived until today.

Even the employees of regular shops could change their identities at any time and kill for treasures.

For cultivators, there is no psychological barrier to such things.

Of course, according to his current cultivation level, if those employees really dared to come and rob him, they would definitely be the ones to die.

From this perspective, it's unknown whose luck is better.

"My current strength is still too weak. I must continue to improve my cultivation level, preferably to the late stage of Qi Refining or even the Foundation Building stage, in order to have the power to protect myself."

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency surged in Zhou Sui's heart.

Splash~~~

In an instant, he threw all the materials into the Divine Gu Bowl, then burned thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, causing these materials to be completely refined and transformed into chaotic airflow.

It's also unknown how much time passed. Countless materials melted, and then a white mysterious gu worm, covered in dense and mysterious runes, was born.

Boom~~

The next second, this white gu worm instantly drilled into his brain, merging with his brain, and then a stream of information instantly poured in.

"Book Gu, this is a type of gu worm that is known for devouring books. It loves to devour all kinds of books and heritage jade slips. Any book that it eats will be recorded by it and never forgotten.

If it can devour all the books in the world, then it will be the greatest library in the world, recording all the knowledge in the world. Owning it means owning all the wealth in the world."

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

"It's done. Let's try the effect of this Book Gu first."

Seeing the appearance of this white gu worm, Zhou Sui immediately became delighted and without hesitation took out a secret manual called "Illusion Demon Transformation Technique" from his body.

Crackling~~

Immediately, the white gu worm drilled out, as if it had smelled some delicious food, and instantly pounced on it, devouring the secret manual in no time.

What?!

In an instant, Zhou Sui's heart shook. He felt the words of the "Illusion Demon Transformation Technique" instantly pouring into his brain, reaching the level of photographic memory.

Even more astonishingly, a gray airflow surged out from the Book Gu and flowed into the depths of his consciousness.

At this moment, he felt that his comprehension had reached an unprecedented level, as if he had gone from an ordinary person to a genius.

The cultivation technique that he couldn't even get started with after spending a lot of time, he instantly grasped.

It was as if he had been cultivating this technique for twenty years, with vast amounts of information pouring into him.

The many mysteries of the "Illusion Demon Transformation Technique" were all presented.

This feeling made him incredibly comfortable. It was the first time he had experienced the comprehension of a genius.

If it weren't for the help of the Book Gu, it would have taken him at least ten years to get started.
