Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 4: Something Seems Off

Late at night.

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing the unparalleled technique he obtained from the Divine Gu Bowl, the Divine Gu Sutra. This technique could refine countless Gu worms in the world and make them his own. It was truly marvelous and could be considered a Divine Grade technique.

Huala~~

Between heaven and earth, strands of spiritual energy surged into his body, entering his meridians and gradually increasing his true yuan.

"Slow, it's too slow."

After practicing for 108 cycles, Zhou Sui opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. A helpless expression appeared on his face. The efficiency of increasing his true yuan was simply too slow.

Even though he was cultivating a Divine Grade technique, if he wanted to advance to the second level of Qi Refining, it would be impossible without two or three years. The reason for this situation was that his aptitude was too poor, only a ninth-grade spiritual root.

It should be noted that the aptitude in this world also had different levels. From ninth-grade spiritual root to first-grade spiritual root, ninth-grade was the worst and first-grade was the best.

Ninth to seventh grade was considered a low-grade spiritual root, sixth to fourth grade was a medium-grade spiritual root, and third to first grade was a high-grade spiritual root.

To join a sect like the Immortal Mist Sect, at least a medium-grade spiritual root was required.

As for a low-grade spiritual root, one could only become an Independent Cultivator. No sect would accept them as disciples.

Beyond a first-grade spiritual root was a heavenly spiritual root. Reaching this level...

If one possessed a heavenly spiritual root, people from major sects would flock to them because a cultivator with a heavenly spiritual root would definitely become a Foundation Building cultivator, and there was even a great possibility of becoming a Gold Core cultivator.

However, those with such aptitude were extremely rare.

He had never seen such a top-tier genius.

"Forget it, I won't cultivate anymore. Continuing to cultivate won't bring any progress."

Zhou Sui felt extremely helpless.

Now he understood how difficult it was for cultivators with low aptitude. Every step forward required a great amount of time. Even if they lived to old age, they would never be able to advance to the ninth level of Qi Refining, let alone become a Foundation Building cultivator.

Unless they had various spiritual medicines and pills to assist them, their cultivation would not make any breakthroughs in a short period of time.

No wonder the previous owner of his body didn't like cultivation. No matter how they cultivated, they couldn't make any progress. There was no sense of achievement, and anyone would be discouraged by such torment.

Swoosh!

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui left his room and went to the courtyard to relax and vent his frustrations.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou."

But at this moment, a beautiful figure had already appeared in the courtyard. She was wearing a white nightgown, revealing her stunning figure. She was truly a beauty under the moonlight.

She was the long-legged beauty, Ji Bingyu.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ji. The night is long, are you also unable to sleep?"

Seeing such a beauty, Zhou Sui almost couldn't control himself. His blood was boiling, but he managed to restrain himself. After all, the other party was a cultivator in the later stage of Qi Refining.

If he completely offended her, even if he was killed, there would be no place to reason.

Although he had already planted the Infatuation Gu on her, it was hard to say when it would take effect. In any case, he needed to act cautiously.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Zhou, are you also like me?"

Ji Bingyu took a deep breath. When she saw Zhou Sui, she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Just the thought of living under the same roof as this man made her heart race. She often had random thoughts and couldn't enter a state of cultivation as she should have. So she had no choice but to leave her room. But she never expected to run into Zhou Sui, who happened to be leaving his room. Could this be fate?

Thinking of this, her pretty face immediately turned red, and her heartbeat accelerated.

However, Zhou Sui did not notice the other party's strangeness and replied, "Yes, cultivation is really difficult. After practicing for several hours, my cultivation level doesn't improve. I feel frustrated and wanted to leave the room for a walk."

He was very helpless. If he could improve his spiritual root aptitude, cultivation wouldn't be so difficult for him.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Cultivation is always difficult at first, but it gets easier later. As long as you overcome this hurdle, I believe you will have a bright future."

"I believe that in the future, Zhou Fellow Daoist will become a Foundation Building cultivator, or even a Golden Core cultivator."

Ji Bingyu felt her heart was about to jump out. Looking at Zhou Sui's distressed appearance, she was extremely excited. Ah, so cute! This man's distressed look is just too adorable.

How can there be such a cute man in the world?

She really wanted to embrace him and shower him with love.

In her eyes, Zhou Sui now seemed like a cat or a puppy being wronged. Her inner tenderness and affection kept surging, almost uncontrollable.

"Thank you for your kind words, Ji Fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui's mood improved significantly. It seemed that the Infatuation Gu was indeed effective, at least increasing the other party's goodwill towards him.

Perhaps after some time, their intimacy would continue to grow.

"But on the other hand, Fellow Daoist, your aptitude is average, and it seems that your parents have passed away. With only Qi Refining cultivation at the first level, life in Misty Cloud City must be quite difficult."

Ji Bingyu changed the subject.

"It is indeed difficult, but fortunately, my parents left me a house. With the rent, I can barely sustain my life," Zhou Sui admitted.

"Perhaps you can sustain your life, but Fellow Daoist, with only Qi Refining cultivation, owning a valuable house in Misty Cloud City, you will likely attract the attention of many unscrupulous cultivators," Ji Bingyu hinted.

"Indeed, as Ji Fellow Daoist said, there are indeed many unscrupulous people. Fortunately, the public security in Misty Cloud City is still good, and no one has dared to harm me for now. If my cultivation level improves, maybe there will be fewer people coveting me," Zhou Sui said.

"Improving your cultivation level? Based on your aptitude, when will your cultivation level improve? By then, if your cultivation level hasn't improved, Fellow Daoist will probably be assassinated by unscrupulous independent cultivators. I think Fellow Daoist may need to find a backer to protect this house," Ji Bingyu suggested.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Sui was a little confused. Although he had a vague guess in his heart, he didn't dare to admit it.

"Fellow Daoist is also a smart person. You must be well aware that I, Ji Bingyu, am a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level. Even if we look at the entire Misty Cloud City, apart from the major cultivators at the Foundation Building stage, no one can harm me."

"If you receive my protection, Fellow Daoist can naturally rest assured and focus on cultivation."

"As for other independent cultivators who have designs on you, they will have to ask whether my sword is sharp or not."

Ji Bingyu said with a smile.

"This!" Zhou Sui was completely dumbfounded. He began to feel that something was not right. The long-legged beauty in front of him seemed to have turned into a villain, staring at him with ill intentions, intending to intimidate and occupy him, this young girl in her prime.

Although he wanted something to happen between him and this long-legged beauty, it wasn't supposed to be like this.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, don't hesitate anymore. Even if you don't want to, you have to."

"To be honest, since I saw you for the first time, I wanted to have you."

Ji Bingyu was very domineering. She lifted Zhou Sui up and walked towards the room.

"You..." Zhou Sui wanted to struggle desperately, but as a Qi Refining cultivator at the first level, how could he be a match for a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level? His feeble resistance only made this woman more excited.
