Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 36: Inheriting the First-Level Pill Master, the Lu Family's Treasure Pavilion

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

Just the entry-level Fireball Technique was nothing special. At this level, the speed of the Fireball Technique was slow and its power was weak. At most, it could only burn tree bark, and even martial arts experts could easily dodge it.

The proficient-level Fireball Technique was slightly faster and more powerful, but it still wasn't anything special. It could easily be blocked by the defensive techniques of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators.

The mastery-level Fireball Technique was different. At this level, it could break through the enemy's defensive techniques, and its speed was twice as fast. Even Qi Refining cultivators wouldn't be able to dodge it.

And when it reached the small achievement level, it became even more terrifying. Its speed was comparable to a bullet, and its power increased several times. One strike on the enemy would instantly break their defensive technique and burn their body to ashes.

However, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators couldn't reach the small achievement level of the Fireball Technique without five or six decades of time. It was simply impossible.

But with the power of the Book Gu, he was able to elevate the Fireball Technique to the small achievement level in a short period of time.

"Indeed, this is what a true cultivator looks like. Relying on techniques for long-range attacks."

"Engaging in close combat with enemies? That's just the behavior of a brute."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling very excited.

He felt that he had gained another offensive technique. If he encountered enemies, he would definitely make them taste his Fireball Technique and witness its power.

"Husband, it seems like we don't have any spiritual meat or much spiritual rice left at home." At this moment, Ji Bingyu walked over and said that after eating for over a month, they had completely run out of rice and needed to buy more.

"Is that so? I'll go buy some then."

Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow.

He was also planning to buy a Pill Master inheritance. After all, he really wanted to become an alchemist. In the future, if he wanted to advance to the Foundation Building stage, he wouldn't need to rely on other people's Foundation Building Pills.

If he could refine Foundation Building Pills himself, why would he need to take risks and compete for Foundation Building Pills at auctions?

To be honest, he had heard many similar stories.

Even if someone obtained a Foundation Building Pill at an auction, they would still be ambushed halfway.

Having money to buy a Foundation Building Pill didn't necessarily mean having the fate to consume it.

In that case, it would be better to refine it himself. Once successful, others wouldn't really know that he possessed Foundation Building Pills, and he could silently become a Foundation Building cultivator.

"But husband, although the situation outside has calmed down a lot, there are still hidden dangers. Your cultivation level is still too low, and it's very dangerous for you to go out. It's better if I go instead."

Ji Bingyu expressed her concern.

"Yuer, have you forgotten? I have learned a clone technique. I can send my clone out, while my main body stays at home. There won't be any danger."

Zhou Sui smiled faintly.

"Oh right, I almost forgot that my husband has a clone technique. If the clone takes action, then there will be no risk." Hearing this, Ji Bingyu also nodded in satisfaction.

She also remembered that her husband had a clone technique, which allowed him to walk around Misty Cloud City confidently with his clone.

Even if they encountered danger, it would only be the clone that died, and the main body would be unharmed.

Since they had the clone, her husband had been the one going out to buy rice for the family.

They only needed to cultivate diligently at home and didn't need to go out and take risks.

..........

Not long after, Zhou Sui condensed a clone and silently left the house without being noticed by anyone.

At the same time, this clone also used the illusion technique to transform into a tall man with a full beard, standing at 1.9 meters. His aura also changed, ensuring that this clone could not be traced back to him.

As soon as he arrived on the streets of Misty Cloud City, he immediately sensed the atmosphere of tension and killing intent. Many unfamiliar cultivators appeared around him, seemingly eyeing the pedestrians with ill intentions.

It felt as if he had entered a den of thieves.

"Is it true that the security in Misty Cloud City has stabilized?" Zhou Sui squinted his eyes. He possessed a powerful spiritual sense and could perceive the malicious intent emanating from the surrounding cultivators. It was as if they were restrained beasts, ready to bare their fangs at any moment.

However, perhaps due to the broad daylight and the threat of the patrol guards, these unfamiliar cultivators did not dare to make a move.

Clearly, the recent cleansing operation by the Immortal Mist Sect had to some extent deterred these lawless cultivators.

He had a smooth journey all the way.

Zhou Sui first went to a grain and meat shop in Misty Cloud City and bought half a year's worth of spiritual rice and meat. This time, he planned to stay indoors for at least half a year.

After all, no one knew how much worse the environment in Misty Cloud City would become.

Once he had purchased all these supplies, he went to the Treasure Pavilion.

This was the largest shop in Misty Cloud City, selling all kinds of Law Weapons, pills, spiritual medicines, as well as secret manuals and techniques, just like a department store.

It was said that the owner behind the Treasure Pavilion was the Lu Family, who controlled Misty Cloud City.

But upon careful consideration, this was normal. As the family that controlled Misty Cloud City, it was natural for them to open some highly profitable shops, with the Treasure Pavilion being one of the Lu Family's businesses.

The reason why Zhou Sui chose the Treasure Pavilion was because this shop had a good reputation. Since its opening, there had been no scandals, and many independent cultivators came to the Treasure Pavilion to purchase various treasures.

Therefore, Zhou Sui wanted to come to the Treasure Pavilion to buy an inheritance related to alchemy.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what you would like to buy?" As soon as he entered the Treasure Pavilion, an old man in black clothes, the shopkeeper Lu Ming, immediately brightened his eyes as he looked at Zhou Sui. He was one of the elders of the Lu Family and was responsible for managing the business of the Treasure Pavilion.

His eyes were very sharp, and he immediately knew that this customer must be very wealthy.

"I wonder if you have any alchemy inheritances here?" Zhou Sui asked directly without wasting any words.

"Alchemy inheritance?" Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper Lu Ming's eyes became even brighter. "We do have a complete first-tier alchemy inheritance in the Treasure Pavilion, but it is very expensive."

"Alchemy inheritances are also graded?" Zhou Sui raised an eyebrow.

"Of course. It seems that Fellow Daoist is not very familiar with the alchemy profession." The shopkeeper Lu Ming smiled. "A first-tier alchemy inheritance can at most make a cultivator become a first-tier alchemist, while second-tier and higher alchemy inheritances can make a cultivator become a second-tier alchemist. The problem is, such precious inheritances can only be found in sects like the Immortal Mist Sect. Shops like ours would not have them, and even if we did, other cultivators wouldn't be able to afford them, so we wouldn't sell them. On the other hand, first-tier alchemy inheritances are more widely circulated, so the secrecy is not as strict. However, even so, the price is not cheap. It would cost at least five thousand low-grade spirit stones."

He mentioned a number.
