Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 296: Soul Formation, Medicine Gu, Promoting to Second Grade Spiritual Root

At this moment, Zhou Sui's mind moved, immediately giving orders to Medicine Gu.

Swoosh!

Immediately, Medicine Gu flew out, and with a big mouth, the endless medicinal qi in the entire medicine garden turned into green mist and entered Medicine Gu's body.

At this moment, Medicine Gu revealed a satisfied expression. Obviously, these medicinal qi were incredibly delicious food for it, capable of enhancing its strength.

The aura on its body increased at a geometric rate.

Obviously, this ancient medicine garden contained a vast amount of spiritual medicine aura, making it a holy land for Medicine Gu.

Boom~

The next second, Medicine Gu opened its big mouth again, spewing out a large amount of golden mist, instantly covering the entire medicine garden within a radius of hundreds of miles. It was like rain, covering every corner of this Foundation Building medicine garden.

At this moment, many spiritual medicine seeds buried deep in the earth received the nourishment of this golden mist and grew rapidly at a visible speed.

Almost instantly, the entire Foundation Building medicine garden was filled with Rank Two spiritual medicines. They grew to maturity in an instant, emitting a strong medicinal aroma.

"So powerful."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui was very excited. He instantly understood the power that Medicine Gu possessed.

It feeds on the medicinal aroma of many spiritual medicines.

For many spiritual medicines, these aromas are continuously released and evaporated, serving little purpose.

But Medicine Gu can make use of them as its daily food.

Therefore, spiritual medicines and Medicine Gu can complement each other.

At the same time, the aura and liquid released from Medicine Gu can accelerate the growth of spiritual medicines.

Currently, Medicine Gu is only at the Rank One level, but it can already easily accelerate the growth of Rank Two spiritual medicines. If it advances to Rank Four, its effect will definitely be even greater.

At the same time, Medicine Gu's power is not limited to accelerating the growth of spiritual medicines.

It can also improve the soil of the land, rapidly evolving it into spiritual soil, making the land more suitable for the growth of spiritual medicines.

It can be said that Medicine Gu is a natural master of cultivation.

With Medicine Gu, one can continuously cultivate a large number of top-grade spiritual medicines.

Of course, Medicine Gu is still in its growth period.

At least it needs to grow to Rank Four in order to catalyze Rank Four spiritual medicines.

"Right, I also need to check how many millennium spiritual medicines are left in these Nascent Soul-level medicine gardens."

Zhou Sui touched his chin.

After all, after advancing to the early stage of Nascent Soul, he found that cultivation became more and more difficult, and the speed was very slow.

Without the assistance of elixirs and spiritual medicines, it was simply impossible to make progress. Even if it took hundreds of years, it might not be able to break through the bottleneck.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators, even after living for thousands of years, are only in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

It can be imagined how difficult this realm is.

Fortunately, he obtained a Soul Formation relic, inside of which grew a large number of millennium spirit medicines.

Compared to other Nascent Soul cultivators, there is no doubt that he is extremely lucky.

After several hours, he finally finished inspecting the 108 Nascent Soul-level medicine gardens.

"There are so many millennium spirit medicines that have survived."

"Isn't this the main medicine for the Infant Transformation Pill, the Millennium Soul Infant Fruit? It can be seen everywhere in the medicine gardens. It seems that with these main medicines, more Infant Transformation Pills can be refined without seeking help from others."

"Oh my, this is the Millennium Spirit Medicine, the Soul Cleansing Tincture. It can enhance spiritual root aptitude. Although it has no effect after one use, it still has a great effect on my Dao companions. They can also use the Soul Cleansing Tincture to promote their spiritual root aptitude."

"Right, there's no need to rush to use the Soul Cleansing Tincture. When the Medicine Gu advances to the Rank Four realm, I can mass-produce the Soul Cleansing Tincture. In that case, each Dao companion can use the millennium spirit medicine to enhance their spiritual root aptitude."

"Wait, this is the Millennium Spirit Medicine, the Purple Blood Lingzhi. It is the main medicine for the Rank Four treasure pill, the Purple Blood Pill. The effect of the Purple Blood Pill is more than three times better than the Qingming Pill. One Purple Blood Pill can save twenty years of cultivation. It is truly valuable."

"It truly deserves to be a Nascent Soul-level medicine garden. This time, I've hit the jackpot."

Zhou Sui was extremely excited.

Although he had long known that obtaining this Soul Formation relic would definitely bring him endless benefits, he was still shocked when he carefully counted his gains.

Of course, due to the passage of time, most of the Nascent Soul-level medicine gardens were actually in a semi-destroyed state, and many millennium spirit medicines had withered.

But even so, there were still some millennium spirit medicines that managed to survive.

This was enough to satisfy the needs of a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, these millennium spirit medicines obviously belonged to him.

"Right, I have to see what is planted in the Soul Formation medicine garden."

To be honest, Zhou Sui was even more curious about the Soul Formation medicine garden on the island. It was the only Soul Formation medicine garden, and it contained a large number of Rank Five spirit medicines, which were extremely valuable.

These were basically ancient spirit medicines that had disappeared from the cultivation world.

Just taking out one of them would drive countless Nascent Soul cultivators crazy.

Of course, the entire Soul Formation medicine garden was surrounded by a Rank Five formation. It was basically impossible for external cultivators to enter the Soul Formation medicine garden.

However, many of the Rank Five formations on the island had long been assimilated and deciphered by the Formation Heart Gu. Even the Soul Formation medicine garden could not stop his footsteps.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, they are all Rank Five spirit medicines."

"Moreover, after a long period of growth, they are basically fully matured, three thousand years old Rank Five spirit medicines."

"Wait, isn't this the main medicine for the Soul Formation Pill that can help Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators break through to the Soul Formation realm, the Nine Dragon Vine?"

In an instant, Zhou Sui's pupils contracted.

He immediately noticed a Rank Five spirit medicine growing in the Soul Formation medicine garden that had reached a three thousand year maturity.

The so-called Soul Formation Pill is a rare elixir that helps Nascent Soul cultivators break through to the Soul Formation stage.

Even in ancient times, this pill was extremely precious.

Apart from the Soul Formation sects, almost no one could obtain it.

Not to mention that in this era, the Soul Formation Pill has long disappeared and is only a legendary treasure.

As for why it disappeared, it is because the main ingredient of the Soul Formation Pill, the Nine Dragon Vine, has completely disappeared.

Basically, no one can find this main ingredient.

But he never expected that he could find it in this medicinal garden.

Undoubtedly, if those Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators knew about the existence of the Nine Dragon Vine, they would definitely flock to it.

Even at the cost of everything, they would want to obtain the Rank Five spiritual medicine, the Nine Dragon Vine.

It may even lead to a more terrible and fierce war than before.

This time, the dispute may not be so easily resolved.

Of course, so far, only he knows about the existence of the Nine Dragon Vine, so the news will naturally not be leaked.

"Exaggerated, it's really exaggerated."

"To think that there are so many Rank Five spiritual medicines here, and they are all matured Rank Five spiritual medicines."

"Even if a Soul Formation cultivator appears here, they would go crazy for it."

Zhou Sui couldn't help but sigh, feeling his heart trembling.

At this moment, he finally realized how great a fortune he possessed, having this Soul Formation relic was simply equivalent to being rich enough to rival a country.

If it were in ancient times, it would be enough to attract the Soul Formation sects to attack him.

Even the Soul Formation cultivators of the past would not be able to possess so much wealth.

It took tens of thousands of years for these Rank Five spiritual medicines to mature.

If it developed normally, even Soul Formation cultivators would not be able to wait for these Rank Five spiritual medicines to mature.

Of course, the limit of Rank Five spiritual medicines is three thousand years.

Basically, they stop growing after reaching three thousand years.

But this is completely sufficient, as the medicinal power contained in a three thousand-year spiritual medicine is truly astonishing.

Even the cultivation of a Soul Formation cultivator can be satisfied.

"Wait, isn't this the Rank Five spiritual medicine, Buddha Flame Root?"

"This is a Rank Five spiritual medicine that can enhance one's spiritual root aptitude."

"It is even more precious than the thousand-year spiritual medicine, Cleansing Spirit Vine."

"It is rumored that after taking this Rank Five spiritual medicine, the spiritual root will undergo the tempering of the Buddha Flame."

"Not only will it enhance the spiritual root aptitude, but it will also enhance comprehension and soul strength."

"It can be said to have endless uses."

"Is it real or fake? To actually find this ancient spiritual medicine here, it's really exaggerated."

Zhou Sui felt his body trembling, his excitement was beyond words.

He never expected that he could find another Rank Five spiritual medicine that could enhance his spiritual root aptitude, and it was even more precious than the thousand-year spiritual medicine, Cleansing Spirit Vine.

After all, Cleansing Spirit Vine is only a Rank Four spiritual medicine.

But Buddha Flame Root is a Rank Five spiritual medicine, one level higher than Cleansing Spirit Vine.

Its preciousness, even in ancient times, was priceless.

Not all Soul Formation cultivators had the qualifications to possess it.

To be honest, he couldn't help but want to immediately dig out this Rank Five spiritual medicine and swallow it in an instant.

After all, his spiritual root aptitude had already reached the Third Grade realm.

If he could take Buddha Flame Root, he would definitely be able to raise his aptitude to the Second Grade realm, and maybe even to the First Grade realm. The benefits of improving aptitude were really too great.

For cultivators, it was an all-around improvement.

"No, I can't just dig it out like this, it would be too wasteful."

"I must leave behind the seeds and cultivate more Buddha Flame Roots."

"In this way, even my Dao companion can enjoy the power of Buddha Flame Root."

"Even if we have children, we can give them this spiritual medicine to enhance their spiritual root aptitude."

Zhou Sui calmed down his excited heart.

This couldn't be blamed on him.

After all, the Rank Five spiritual medicine, Buddha Flame Root, was truly precious, extremely rare, and basically a lost ancient spiritual medicine.

If it weren't for the ruins of the ancient sect, Withering Glory Sect, it would be highly unlikely to find this ancient spiritual medicine.

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

Several days passed.

Zhou Sui had been on this island all this time, carefully investigating how many treasures were left on this island.

Unfortunately, apart from the medicinal garden, there were basically no treasures left on the island.

He had originally thought that he would find some Spiritual Treasures, but he didn't expect that there was nothing at all.

"Not only were there no Law Treasures or Spiritual Treasures left, even the inheritance of the Withering Glory Sect has disappeared."

"It seems that the entire scripture repository has been emptied."

"Could it be that the people of the Withering Glory Sect knew in advance that they were about to encounter a disaster, so they moved all the sect's inheritance in advance, leaving only an empty shell?"

"Only the medicinal garden couldn't be moved, so a large number of spiritual medicines were left behind."

"No, perhaps they don't want to leave behind a large quantity of elixirs."

"It's purely because during ancient times, those elixirs were just seedlings, or maybe even just seeds."

"It's only because of the changes over the long years that these elixir seeds have grown into mature elixirs."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, feeling a bit regretful.

Originally, he thought he would be able to obtain a large amount of inheritance from the Withering Glory Sect, but he discovered that there were basically not many inheritance jade slips left on the entire island.

The only ones he found were in the storage bags of the deceased cultivators from the Withering Glory Sect.

After all, those Withering Glory Sect cultivators might have exchanged various techniques within the sect. It's just that he didn't expect that when they died, the inherited techniques would be left in their storage bags.

The previous Azure Emperor's Immortal Longevity Technique and the Divine Ability Withering Glory Mysterious Light Technique were both found this way.

It can be said that he only obtained a small portion of the Withering Glory Sect's inheritance.

"I see now."

"During ancient times, the Withering Glory Sect was besieged by demons and was on the verge of destruction."

"Many Nascent Soul cultivators and even Soul Formation cultivators of the Withering Glory Sect realized that the sect was about to be destroyed."

"So, in order to ensure the sect's inheritance, they made preparations in advance and evacuated the disciples of the Withering Glory Sect."

"Some of the Withering Glory Sect's Nascent Soul elders and Soul Formation elders chose to stay on this island and fight the demons to the death."

"As a result, in order to protect the safety of the cultivation world, the Soul Formation ancestor of the Withering Glory Sect chose to die together with the demons."

"They did their best to seal the Soul Formation level demon, even at the cost of moving this island to the depths of dimensional space."

"But after countless years, this island has returned to the Canglan Sea Region."

"In other words, perhaps the Withering Glory Sect did not completely perish and still left behind some inheritance."

"But why hasn't the Canglan Sea Region heard any news about the Withering Glory Sect? If they really inherited the Withering Glory Sect's lineage, many people should know."

"Right, during ancient times, the various regions of the cultivation world were connected, and the ancient teleportation arrays still existed. Those who inherited the Withering Glory Sect's lineage might not have stayed in the Canglan Sea Region, but instead went to other regions of the cultivation world."

"But due to the destruction of the ancient teleportation arrays and the long distance, those who inherited the Withering Glory Sect's lineage can no longer return to the Canglan Sea Region. Over time, the Withering Glory Sect naturally perished in the Canglan Sea Region."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He felt that his speculation was almost spot on.

He even suspected that the destruction of the ancient teleportation arrays was closely related to those cultivators.

After all, once the ancient teleportation arrays were destroyed, even demons would have to cross endless seas to come over. It would be impossible for them to chase after him.

The long distance was enough to intercept any danger.

When the ancient teleportation arrays were not in danger, they were indeed convenient transportation devices.

But once they encountered an irresistible enemy, the ancient teleportation arrays became deadly.

So, it became natural for the ancient cultivators to destroy the teleportation array.

Everything was done to save their own lives.

"Wait, does that mean the true successor of the Withering Glory Sect might come knocking on the door?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but think of this possibility.

After all, for those cultivators who inherited the Withering Glory Sect's lineage, the appearance of this Soul Formation relic was like a great blessing, equivalent to reclaiming their ancestral land.

If they were to learn of this, they would definitely come swarming, attempting to reclaim this island.

But since he had already obtained this island, he naturally wouldn't give it up without a fight.

If they wanted to fight, he would naturally accompany them to the end, not giving an inch.

"Well, they might not necessarily come knocking on the door, it's a bit too much needless worry."

"Thousands of years have passed, anything could happen."

"It's also possible that those who inherited the Withering Glory Sect's lineage have long been extinct, and the lineage has disappeared into the river of history."

"Of course, even if they are still alive, the distance between the two places is so vast, and the information is blocked."

"If the other party wants to get this news, who knows when they will find out."

"Of course, even if this news is really known by those successors of the Withering Glory Sect, and they even send a large army to kill, so what?"

"Now that I have mastered the Rank Five formation, even if a Soul Formation cultivator comes to attack, they have to think twice."

"They are completely no match for these guys."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes, thinking about the various possibilities in the future.

Even if the worst-case scenario happened, he would be able to handle it with ease.

Overall, no matter what happens in the future, his own strength is the most important.

If he were a Soul Formation cultivator, even if the successors of the Withering Glory Sect came knocking on the door, so what?

Daring to compete with him for this island is simply seeking death.

In the cultivation world, whoever has the bigger fist naturally has the say.

And to some extent, he has also obtained the Withering Glory Sect's techniques, and has also gained the true transmission of the Withering Glory Sect.

He is also the successor of the Withering Glory Sect.

It is also easy to disguise himself as the successor of the Withering Glory Sect.

Other forces are far from being able to compete with him for legitimacy.

So he is not worried about anything.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui no longer pays attention to such matters. With a thought, he immediately dispatches his many avatars, scattering them throughout the island.

After all, the entire island has become a ruin, with many Rank Five formations in a damaged state.

We need formation masters to repair these forbidden formations.

At the same time, the major teleportation formations also need to be repaired.

The ancient teleportation formations are the same.

Fortunately, he has given birth to many clones.

These laborious tasks can be done by his clones.

If he were to do it himself, who knows how much time would be wasted.

...

Several days have passed.

In a quiet room.

Zhou Sui has also retrieved the Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root from the Soul Formation medicine garden. Of course, he also left behind the seeds. As long as the Medicine Gu reaches the Rank Four realm, he can start cultivating this Rank Five spiritual medicine and grow more Buddha Flame Roots.

He sits cross-legged on the cushion, without saying a word, immediately swallowing the Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root.

Boom~~~

In an instant, after Zhou Sui swallowed the Buddha Flame Root, he instantly understood why this Rank Five spiritual medicine was called Buddha Flame Root.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that a group of Buddha fire was surging within him, shining in golden color.

It was as if a Buddha resided within him.

However, this flame had no harm to his body.

It was only tempering his soul, his physique, and his spiritual roots.

"This!"

Zhou Sui was very surprised. He felt the endless power of the Buddha flame continuously enhancing and tempering his spiritual roots. Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of Buddhist chants.

He seemed to see many impurities on his spiritual roots being expelled and burned by the Buddha flame, and the level of his spiritual roots was continuously improving, gradually becoming transparent, like crystal.

It's unknown how much time has passed.

Boom~~

Zhou Sui sensed that his body was resonating. It was like waves of Buddhist chants resonating, tempering his entire body, turning his whole body into a golden color, like the body of an Arhat.

Second Grade spiritual roots!

Immediately, he knew that his spiritual root aptitude had greatly improved.

From the aptitude of a Third Grade spiritual root, he advanced to the level of a Second Grade spiritual root.

"So this is how I advance to a Second Grade spiritual root?"

"Indeed, the assistance of spiritual medicine is necessary. Otherwise, how could I advance so quickly?"

Zhou Sui was excited to an indescribable degree.

If he relied on the power of the Infatuation Gu, it would probably take at least several decades, even hundreds of years, to advance his spiritual roots to the level of a Second Grade aptitude.

But now, with the power of the Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root, he saved hundreds of years in an instant, helping his spiritual roots advance to the realm of Second Grade.

Of course, the power of the Infatuation Gu was still quite useful.

After all, Rank Five spiritual medicines like Buddha Flame Root are almost extinct in the cultivation world and are hard to find.

If he hadn't obtained this Soul Formation relic, he wouldn't have been able to obtain this Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root.

So the power of the Infatuation Gu was still quite important.

"The efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is much stronger than before."

Zhou Sui activated the Divine Gu Sutra.

Forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy centered on his body, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him flowed into his body through his spiritual roots like tides.

Obviously, the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was at least twice as fast as before.

This was a quite astonishing improvement in efficiency.

To be honest, the aptitude of a Second Grade spiritual root could already make him an inner disciple in a Nascent Soul sect.

After all, disciples with Heaven Spirit Roots are still relatively rare and hard to come by.

But the aptitude of a Second Grade spiritual root is the backbone of a Nascent Soul sect, and the number of such disciples is naturally much higher.

However, it was not just the improvement in the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

Even his comprehension had greatly improved compared to before.

At this moment, he felt that the speed at which he thought about problems was many times faster than before.

It was as if the dust of his soul had been burned by the power of the Buddha flame.

Now, his thinking speed was at least twice as fast as before.

Undoubtedly, in terms of comprehension, he could definitely be considered a genius now.

Even if he couldn't reach the level of an unparalleled genius, he could still be considered rare in the world.

"Could it be that the medicinal power of the Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root has not ended yet?"

"Could it still last for a long time?"

Zhou Sui was surprised.

He sensed that his spiritual roots were still enveloped by a group of golden flames, constantly tempering his spiritual roots and the power of his soul, helping him enhance his spiritual roots and soul.

This group of Buddha fire had not extinguished yet and was still burning fiercely.

Obviously, the power of this Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root was not so simple.

It was afraid that before the medicinal power was exhausted, this Rank Five spiritual medicine Buddha Flame Root could elevate his spiritual roots to the level of First Grade.

Of course, this would require a long period of time.

It was not something that could be achieved overnight.
