Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 38: Killing the Land Family Cultivator and Soul Searching in a Dream

At this moment, as soon as Zhou Sui left the Treasure Pavilion, he immediately sensed several gazes falling on him from inside the pavilion, seemingly with ill intentions.

"Are you kidding me? Isn't the Treasure Pavilion the most reputable shop in the entire Misty Cloud City? There has never been a case of murder for treasure. What is happening now?"

"Perhaps it's not that it has never happened before, but rather that those people have long since died."

"The dead cannot speak, nor can they reveal the truth."

"Damn Treasure Pavilion, claiming to be the ruler of Misty Cloud City. They have become the city lord, yet they still engage in murder for treasure. It's simply shameless to the extreme."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

Although he had somewhat anticipated such a situation, he still felt sorrow for this world. This world is not without good people, but they are too few.

Even if there are truly good people, they are most likely killed, with only a few able to survive.

His previous caution was indeed correct. Without sufficient strength, exposing a large amount of spirit stones was truly a path to death.

Now, he had only exposed tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, yet it attracted enemies.

Even the former ruler of Misty Cloud City, the Land Family, had set their sights on him.

However, he had no intention of being afraid now.

Because he had long since changed, having advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, his cultivation had greatly improved. Especially with the Dream Soul Gu on his body, it had reached the high-grade first rank, equivalent to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators couldn't withstand the power of the Dream Soul Gu, which came from soul attacks. It was not easy to defend against. It was a downgrade for those Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Of course, more importantly, he was just a clone now.

Even if he truly failed, it would only be the loss of a clone and wouldn't harm his true self.

"Hmph, since they want to kill me, they should be prepared to be killed."

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a cold light. He remained calm, pretending not to notice the several Land Family cultivators who were following him.

He took a few turns and arrived at a secluded alley in Misty Cloud City, a place where few people appeared.

The Land Family cultivators who were tracking him felt delighted.

"What's going on? This kid is taking so many turns. Where does he want to go?"

"I thought he would leave the city, planning to deal with him outside the city. I didn't expect him to stay within the city."

"This kid probably thinks it's safer inside the city, not knowing that this is our Land Family's territory."

"Hehe, this independent cultivator definitely has a big secret on him. Maybe he obtained the inheritance of a Foundation Building cultivator. Otherwise, how could he suddenly produce such a large amount of spirit stones?"

"Whether he has a secret or not, once we capture him, we can use severe torture to find out. No need to speculate."

"Great, he foolishly came to such a secluded place. There's no one nearby. Let's take action immediately and capture this kid. I want to see what he's hiding."

The eyes of the three Qi Refining cultivators at the seventh level and the one at the eighth level of the Land Family revealed a fierce gaze. Without saying a word, they immediately wanted to use their techniques to attack Zhou Sui.

Boom~~~

In an instant, a hidden soul fluctuation suddenly spread through the air, instantly covering an area of hundreds of meters, completely enveloping this area.

What?!

These four Land Family cultivators were dumbfounded. They suddenly found that their bodies couldn't move, as if they were under the effect of a petrification spell, trapped in an illusion.

The problem was, they had no idea when they had been affected.

They all stood there like dumbfounded fools, drooling as if they had seen the thing they desired most in their hearts.

This is one of the abilities of the Dream Soul Gu: Dream Invasion!

Once this skill is used, it can silently pull enemies within its range into a dream realm.

"The power of a first-grade high-quality Dream Soul Gu is indeed formidable."

At this moment, the voice of Zhou Sui's clone also appeared in front of these several Lu family cultivators. He was amazed by the power of the Dream Soul Gu. For ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators, it was simply a crushing blow.

Without a Law Weapon for soul defense, these cultivators were almost instantly killed, unable to resist.

With just a thought, these Lu family cultivators were instantly pulled into a dream, completely defenseless.

"Die!"

Zhou Sui had no interest in wasting words with these Lu family cultivators. With a gentle finger, a stream of true essence pierced through the foreheads of these four cultivators, creating bloody holes and causing blood to flow.

"This!"

"When did you discover us?"

"It's impossible, how can a mere Independent Cultivator be so powerful?"

"Is this a joke? We're actually dead, when did he make his move?!"

Intense pain caused these four Lu family cultivators to break free from the dream realm. They saw Zhou Sui suddenly appear in front of them, their pupils contracted, revealing an expression of extreme fear.

They had no idea when they had revealed their whereabouts.

At this moment, they finally realized that the Independent Cultivator in front of them was playing possum.

But now, even if they wanted to struggle or regret, it was already too late.

With a loud bang, they fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, unable to close in death.

"Soul search!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Sui once again used the second ability of the Dream Soul Gu, Soul Searching. This ability was even more powerful than the soul searching technique of the demonic sects. The soul searching technique of the demonic sects could only obtain partial memories, and most of the memories would be incomplete, sometimes unable to obtain the desired information.

But with the Dream Soul Gu's soul searching ability, he could obtain the complete soul memories of the enemy without any omissions.

With a splash, a massive amount of memories instantly entered the body of the Dream Soul Gu, being devoured and absorbed by it.

At the same time, pure soul energy was also being devoured by the Dream Soul Gu, strengthening the power within it and promoting its evolution.

It relied not only on the growth of the host, but also on devouring the souls of other living beings to promote its own growth.

"So it turns out they are Lu family cultivators. I didn't expect the prestigious Lu family to have fallen to the level of Rogue Cultivators."

"And during the chaos in Misty Cloud City recently, it turns out that the Lu family has a great deal of involvement, and they are even the mastermind behind it all."

"These cultivator families are truly not good people."

In an instant, after obtaining the memories of these several Lu family cultivators, Zhou Sui immediately understood the whole story.

The mastermind behind it all was none other than the treasurer of the Treasure Pavilion, Lu Ming.

Due to the current situation of the Lu family being inappropriate, with their ancestor about to fall, the current Lu family was already at its wit's end. In secret, they had all become Rogue Cultivators, robbing and killing Independent Cultivators to obtain a large amount of wealth.

He was just one of the targets they had set their sights on.
