Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 293: Night Fellow Daoist, don't you want the female cultivators of Ethereal Palace to die here?

In no time, numerous Nascent Soul cultivators began to listen to Zhou Sui's conditions.

After all, they had been trapped for several years and were eager to leave.

Even if the conditions were high, it was not impossible to agree.

"What?! Each Nascent Soul early stage cultivator needs to pay 5,000 Supreme Grade spirit stones, each Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator needs to pay 10,000 Supreme Grade spirit stones, each Nascent Soul late stage cultivator needs to pay 50,000 Supreme Grade spirit stones, and they even need a large amount of Rank Four materials, Rank Five materials. You might as well rob us, you despicable thief."

After hearing Zhou Sui's conditions, the Lord of Black Fiend Hall, Lie Hai Mo Jun, was completely furious.

Although they were mentally prepared and expected this mysterious person to make outrageous demands, they never expected this bastard to be even greedier than they imagined.

You see, Supreme Grade spirit stones are extremely precious strategic resources.

The treasuries of the major Nascent Soul forces do not have many Supreme Grade spirit stones.

But this bastard, he demands thousands and thousands of Supreme Grade spirit stones.

Clearly, he wants to suck their blood, eat their flesh, and leave them with nothing.

Even though Lie Hai Mo Jun was a Nascent Soul late stage cultivator, he found these conditions extremely excessive.

If they were to agree, the treasury of Black Fiend Hall would definitely shrink by a small portion.

"Oh, I am indeed robbing you. Didn't my words just now make that clear to you?"

"Or do you think your insignificant lives are more precious than these external possessions?"

"Don't you want to avoid dying here and causing your sect to decline completely?"

Zhou Sui said indifferently.

What?!

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators turned extremely ugly. Obviously, this despicable person had found their weak spot. Even if they didn't consider themselves, they had to consider their sects.

You see, they were the pillars of the major forces, the towering giants. If they were all trapped here, or even died here, they had no idea what would happen to their sects.

Perhaps they would be quickly annihilated by hostile forces.

"Don't be afraid of this bastard."

"He's just trying to intimidate us, isn't he?"

"In my opinion, this guy doesn't even have the ability to kill us."

"At most, he can manipulate a Rank Five trapping formation to trap us."

"If he really had complete control over all the formations in this Soul Formation relic, he would have killed us long ago."

"There's no need to wait until now to make a move."

"It's just a trapping formation. As long as we're given enough time, we can definitely break it."

"We don't need to fear this guy's threats. Does he really think we're made of clay?"

A Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator shouted.

He is a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator from Black Fiend Hall, with a very irritable temper.

At the same time, he doesn't believe that this elusive guy is anything special.

If he were really that powerful, he wouldn't be hiding and revealing himself, but would show himself openly.

To think that they could demand thousands, even tens of thousands of Supreme Grade spirit stones as ransom with just a few words, is pure wishful thinking.

Boom~~

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's mind moved, immediately activating the Rank Five High Grade formation, Four Images of Decay and Prosperity, which covered the entire island. The endless power of Rank Five spiritual veins gathered within it.

It seemed that the illusions of the four great divine beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, appeared above the entire island.

A green light descended from the sky, striking this Nascent Soul demonic cultivator in an instant, like thunder that couldn't be covered by one's ears.

"Ah!"

In an instant, this Nascent Soul demonic cultivator couldn't help but let out a miserable scream. He felt his vitality rapidly declining, as if his lifespan was being stripped away.

His originally black hair was now starting to turn white.

His smooth skin also began to show wrinkles.

A trace of decayed aura emanated from him.

Boom~~

But this was just the beginning. Two or three more green lights struck, consecutively hitting this Nascent Soul demonic cultivator. Even if the opponent used all his tricks, he couldn't resist this power.

In an instant, the aura on this Nascent Soul demonic cultivator came to a halt, and he actually turned into a dried corpse. His face aged to an unbelievable extent, and he fell to the ground, his lifespan exhausted.

"This!"

The pupils of many Nascent Soul cultivators contracted, their hair standing on end, shivering in fear.

They watched helplessly as a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator died a tragic death here, turning into a dried corpse.

They couldn't even resist it.

One after another, the green lights seemed to ignore many Law Treasures' defenses and easily entered the body of that Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, they truly felt the terror of that mysterious person.

The other party was definitely not bluffing.

But truly had the strength to kill them all here.

"If you all have read the records of my Withering Glory Sect, you must know what just happened."

"This is the Rank Five High Grade formation of my Withering Glory Sect, the Four Images of Decay and Prosperity."

"And the ability of this formation is only one, which is to strip a cultivator's lifespan."

"As long as you are hit by a Withering Glory Mysterious Light Technique, it will strip away a hundred years of lifespan."

"That Fellow Daoist just now had a long lifespan, and actually got hit by five Withering Glory Mysterious Light Techniques, consuming five hundred years of lifespan before dying."

"If any Fellow Daoist still has any dissatisfaction, feel free to come forward and experience the power of my Withering Glory Sect's Four Images of Decay and Prosperity formation."

Zhou Sui said calmly.

"This!"

Upon hearing these words, many Nascent Soul cultivators were rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word. Even the powerful Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators felt their hairs stand on end, sensing that their lives could be taken at any moment. After all, they were all nine hundred years old, or even over a thousand years old, nearing the end of their lifespan. If they were hit by one or two Withering Glory Mysterious Light Techniques, they would likely die here, meeting their natural end. Moreover, they had no means of defense whatsoever. It could only be said that the Withering Glory Sect truly lived up to its reputation as an ancient Soul Formation sect, a dominant sect, as they had mastered such unimaginable power. This made them even more reluctant to say anything.

To be honest, just like that Nascent Soul demonic cultivator earlier, they had also thought that this mysterious person might be all bark and no bite. Otherwise, why would they only take action now? But now, Zhou Sui had displayed his Thunderous Strike, instantly killing a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator, showcasing unparalleled power. Their hidden thoughts were gone. No one dared to stick their necks out, fearing that they would be the next Nascent Soul cultivator to fall victim to a deadly attack.

"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood."

"This was just the idea of that idiot earlier. We definitely do not share the same idea."

"And indeed, it was our fault for intruding into the Withering Glory Sect."

"The losses incurred should be compensated."

"If possible, we can discuss the matter of compensation now."

The host of the Mysterious Treasure Building, Tian Suan Dao Ren, immediately softened. Since he had witnessed the terrifying strength of the other party, he knew he should lower his head appropriately. Otherwise, if they were to clash head-on, he would gain nothing.

"Is that so? Why do you all seem a little reluctant to admit it?"

"Anyone who is not convinced can step forward now."

Zhou Sui's voice rang out again. Upon hearing this, the mouths of many Nascent Soul cultivators twitched, their faces speechless. Damn, they really thought they were fools. If they really dared to step forward, their lives would definitely not be guaranteed. They were not idiots. They were all old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years, experiencing countless worldly affairs. How could they easily believe such words?

"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. We are already convinced."

"To be honest, we were indeed wrong this time, and compensation is only fair."

"Please forgive our reckless behavior this time. We will never dare to intrude into the Withering Glory Sect again."

Many Nascent Soul cultivators admitted their mistakes one after another. Although they were bleeding inside, they could only endure the loss now. After all, compared to their lives, these external possessions were truly insignificant. As long as they were still alive, they could earn back these treasures. They couldn't die here over a small amount of money.

"Very well, since that's the case, contact the cultivators from the outside world."

"Whoever pays the ransom first can leave first."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied. He sensed that these Nascent Soul cultivators were truly convinced, and his intimidating behavior earlier had indeed played a significant role. No one dared to stick their necks out anymore. He was sure that he could extort a lot of money this time. Seizing the opportunity to make a big profit. Of course, if they didn't pay, they definitely wouldn't be able to leave.

...

Not long after, many cultivators from the outside world learned about this matter for the first time. The Infinite Unity Alliance, Heavenly Sword Sect, Sunset Sect, Ethereal Palace, and other sects' cultivators were all dumbfounded, causing a huge sensation.

"No way, the restriction formation of this Soul Formation relic is actually being controlled by someone. That's why so many Nascent Soul cultivators are imprisoned. They are too audacious. They have offended all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea Region. That guy must be crazy. He has cut off ties with the entire Canglan Sea Region."

Some people were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. They couldn't imagine that someone could actually do such a thing.

"Not only are these Nascent Soul cultivators imprisoned, but they also plan to extort the major Nascent Soul sects. If they don't pay the ransom, these Nascent Soul cultivators will never be able to leave in their lifetime."

"Damn, with just one person, they are extorting all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea Region. This is truly unprecedented. I'm afraid this is the most terrifying bandit in the history of the Canglan Sea Region. Aren't they afraid of meeting a tragic end?"

"They don't give a damn. They stay on this island in the Withering Glory Sect, protected by a Rank Five formation. Which Nascent Soul force can break through this Rank Five formation? It can be said to be absolutely safe."

"The problem is that they can only stay on the island. Once they leave the island, they will definitely become targets, targeted by the major Nascent Soul forces. They won't be able to move an inch."

"Foolish, since they can do such a thing, they must have anticipated these consequences long ago. The mastermind must be waiting for their cultivation to reach the Soul Formation stage before leaving the island. At that time, it won't be the major Nascent Soul forces dealing with them, but rather worrying about the mastermind dealing with all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea Region."

"Really? Are they so confident in becoming a Soul Formation cultivator?"

"That's unclear. At least, as long as they stay on this island, that person is invincible."

Many cultivators discussed among themselves.

Without a doubt, this kidnapping and ransom incident will cause a sensation throughout the Canglan Sea Region.

After all, in the history of tens of thousands of years, where has anyone ever done such a thing? They actually kidnapped so many Nascent Soul cultivators all at once, making them the unprecedented strongest kidnappers.

Moreover, they are extorting Nascent Soul cultivators.

"If that's the case, then whether or not we pay the ransom, it's too expensive. At the very least, it should be five thousand Supreme Grade spirit stones. We have so many Nascent Soul ancestors involved, we might have to empty the treasure vault of Supreme Grade spirit stones."

"Yes, without Supreme Grade spirit stones, our teleportation array, Rank Four flying ships, and so on won't be able to activate."

"Foolish, what do those treasures matter? The Nascent Soul ancestors are the most important. If we lose their protection, can we defend such a large territory?"

"Not to mention the threat from other human forces, just the threat from the sea race and demonic beasts alone, without the deterrence of Nascent Soul cultivators, we won't be able to protect so many islands. There will definitely be a large number of casualties."

"Yes, if we don't pay the ransom and other Nascent Soul forces do, then our sect will lose so many Nascent Souls. Many islands and sea areas will be taken away, and our sect might even be wiped out."

"That bastard knows this, that's why he's so confident."

"If you don't pay, someone else will."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry back to the sect and bring back a large number of treasures. The sooner we pay the ransom, the sooner the Nascent Soul ancestors will be released."

"If this guy changes his mind, then our ancestor is doomed."

The cultivators were helpless.

They were also in great pain, having been extorted of so much wealth all at once.

It was like having their flesh cut and blood drained.

But they had no choice but to pay.

This matter was crucial to the survival of their forces.

...

At this moment, Zhou Sui's attention was focused on Ethereal Palace's Palace Master, Ye Feirou.

After all, the Heaven-defying Jade Dew was still on this woman. He had to find a way to obtain it.

This matter concerned his future Nascent Soul and even Soul Formation cultivation.

There was no room for error.

"Fellow Daoist Ye."

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui suddenly transmitted his voice to Ye Feirou.

At the same time, he secretly used a Gu on Ye Feirou.

The child Gu of the Infatuation Gu turned into a wisp of aura and instantly entered Ye Feirou's body.

But Ye Feirou didn't notice anything at all.

Having advanced to the Rank Five lower grade realm, the power and speed of the Infatuation Gu were many times stronger than before.

It was simply incomparable to before.

"Who are you?"

Startled by this voice, Ye Feirou was taken aback, but she was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator who had lived for over seven hundred years. She quickly calmed down.

She could tell from the voice that the owner was the mastermind behind this Soul Formation relic.

But for some reason, upon hearing this voice, a trace of goodwill welled up from deep within her heart.

It was as if they were old friends who had known each other for years.

"You can call me Mudao Ren."

Zhou Sui casually gave a fake name. After all, he couldn't reveal his real name. Otherwise, he would truly have to stay on this island until he reached the Soul Formation stage before he could leave.

"Mudao Ren, what do you want?"

Ye Feirou's beautiful eyes flickered as she pondered the origin of this name. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't find any famous Nascent Soul cultivator in the Canglan Sea Region with this name.

Of course, it was possible that this name was fake, so it was normal for her not to know.

"I want you to help me cultivate."

Zhou Sui said straightforwardly.

What?!

This man really dared to say that.

As soon as these words came out, a hint of anger flashed in Ye Feirou's beautiful eyes. She clenched her small fist. This statement was clearly teasing her and coveting the immense pure Yin power within her.

She had long known that there were no good men in this world.

But she never expected that this Mudao Ren would also be a scoundrel.

If she could find the true identity of this man, she would definitely slap him.

She was the Palace Master of the Ethereal Palace, a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage. How could this Mudao Ren dare to covet her?

Countless men who had tried to covet her had ended up at the bottom of the sea.

Now, this Mudao Ren was no different.

"What if I don't want to?"

Ye Feirou's face turned cold, and a deep killing intent emanated from her.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I'm not someone who likes to threaten others.

"But think about it carefully."

"I believe you don't want all the cultivators of the Ethereal Palace to die here, do you?"

Zhou Sui said calmly.

You!

Hearing this, Ye Feirou was furious. She had never been so angry in her life. He said he wasn't someone who liked to threaten others, but if this wasn't a threat, then what was?

To be honest, she wanted to rush out immediately and die together with this Mudao Ren.

But when she looked at her sisters beside her and thought about the Ethereal Palace behind her.

If she and many other female Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ethereal Palace were to die here, then the numerous disciples of the Ethereal Palace would be completely finished. They wouldn't be able to protect such a vast sea region at all.

Ethereal Palace, with its thousands of years of heritage, will be destroyed by my own hands.

She received the grace of the previous palace master of Ethereal Palace, even her own life and cultivation were bestowed by Ethereal Palace.

She couldn't just watch Ethereal Palace perish.

Ye Feirou is no longer the impulsive little girl of the past. She has lived for over seven hundred years and has become a mature woman who understands the pros and cons.

Although she is angry and may find temporary satisfaction, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, she took a deep breath, and the anger in her beautiful eyes began to subside, replaced by calmness. "Alright, I promise you, I will help you cultivate, but you must spare the many cultivators of Ethereal Palace and not let them suffer any harm. And the previous compensation should also be appropriately reduced."

"What are you talking about, you brainless woman? Of course, the money cannot be reduced," Zhou Sui sneered.

"You!" Ye Feirou, who had already calmed down, became even angrier. Her pretty face turned red, burning with anger. How shameless and greedy this man was. His words were clear: he wanted both money and people.

How greedy could this man be?

Even a demonic cultivator wouldn't be so excessive.

But when one is under someone else's roof, one has to bow their head.

Who made her so unlucky? She was careless for a moment and fell into the enemy's trap. Life and death were no longer in her control.

She could only say that this time she was bitten by a dog.

No, that's not right. Perhaps she could take advantage of this man's disadvantageous situation and absorb his pure yang energy.

She had already thought of various countermeasures.

As long as this man dared to harm her, she would definitely not be polite and let him witness the power of the female cultivators of Ethereal Palace. Not everyone could bully them.

"Alright, I promise you, but I hope you won't go back on your word," Ye Feirou took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"In that case, hand over the Serendipity Jade Dew on your body," Zhou Sui said excitedly. He could finally obtain the Serendipity Jade Dew, a rare and extraordinary water of heaven and earth that even a Rank Three Item Seeking Gu would find difficult to locate. Its preciousness could be imagined.

This was a treasure that money couldn't buy.

"Huh?!" Ye Feirou blinked her eyes, feeling a bit confused. The information contained in this sentence was too much, causing her head to feel a bit overwhelmed.

For a moment, she couldn't react and didn't know how to answer.

Could it be that this man's words were not about taking away her primordial yin, but about taking away the treasure Serendipity Jade Dew on her body?! Did she misunderstand this man's words?!

Her pretty face turned red, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. She never expected such a misunderstanding to occur.

"What's wrong? Are you refusing?"

Zhou Sui said impatiently, "How did you know that I have the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew on me?"

Ye Feirou was very puzzled.

To be honest, the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew was a treasure she obtained from a secret realm. It was invaluable, not only for enhancing cultivation, but also for healing injuries.

The problem was that this could be considered one of her trump cards.

But she never expected that this wooden Daoist would easily find out about it. It was truly unbelievable.

She didn't even know how she had been exposed.

"How I found out is none of your concern."

"Just hand over the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew."

Zhou Sui couldn't be bothered to explain anything.

This was her own secret, so how could she possibly explain it to others?

"Fine."

Ye Feirou felt that this wooden Daoist was becoming more and more mysterious. Perhaps he was someone she knew, otherwise how could he know so clearly about her trump card?

But no matter how she thought about it, there was no one around her who fit the image of a wooden Daoist.

However, she still chose to take out the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew.

Although it was indeed a precious resource, compared to the numerous Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ethereal Palace, the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew was nothing. If she could exchange the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew for the lives of her sisters, then everything would be worth it.

Whoosh!

In an instant, an invisible force swept away the white jade bottle, disappearing from this space in the blink of an eye, heading to an unknown location.

"Not bad, not bad."

"As long as your companions from the Ethereal Palace pay the ransom, you can leave here."

Zhou Sui suddenly felt very satisfied and excited. He sensed that the white bottle contained the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew he had longed for. With this, he could obtain the main material for the Medicine Gu.

"You bastard."

Hearing this, Ye Feirou was both angry and annoyed. This guy was simply taking advantage and acting innocent.

Her losses this time were extremely heavy.

Not only did she lose a large amount of Supreme Grade spirit stones, but also various Rank Four materials, and even the Life-Nurturing Jade Dew.

She almost misunderstood herself and lost everything.

Fortunately, this man didn't seem to have much interest in her, otherwise she would have suffered.

She secretly made up her mind that she would never be so reckless again.

If she fell into the trap of the Soul Formation ruins again, her luck might not be as good as today.
