Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 46: Swallowing the Inheritance Jade Slip, Becoming a First Stage Pill Master

However, there is no rush to cultivate the Body Tempering technique, as it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

He cannot simply find any random Body Tempering technique to practice.

Therefore, this matter still needs to be carefully considered.

"Other than cultivation, the progress in other areas is also not bad."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

During these three months, his skills in runes, formations, swordsmanship, and others have made significant progress.

After all, reaching the middle or even high level would slow down the progress of cultivation, which is only natural. Currently, the three companions are only at the high level.

So far, the experience gained from them has been decreasing.

"I didn't expect to be able to advance to the middle level of a First Stage Formation Master."

Zhou Sui's eyes gleamed. He sensed various basic knowledge about first stage formations emerging from the depths of his consciousness. This knowledge about formations came from Xia Jingyan.

It must be said that formations are definitely the most difficult skill among the four arts of cultivation.

To successfully set up a formation, one needs to learn various formation nodes and calculate the best formation positions, which requires strong computational abilities.

If it were just one formation, it would be fine, but sometimes multiple formations need to be set up, which requires calculating the perfect nodes for the integration of formations, ensuring that different formations do not interfere with each other and cause the formation to fail.

Without enough comprehension, there is simply no way to get started.

It's like mathematics; if you understand it, you understand it, and if you don't, you don't. Others can't help.

However, with the knowledge of formations obtained from Xia Jingyan, he still managed to advance to the middle level of a Formation Master.

With his current knowledge, as long as he has enough materials, he can easily set up ordinary first stage formations, such as the Cloud Rain Formation, Spirit Gathering Formation, Golden Light Defense Formation, and so on.

Undoubtedly, apart from cultivation, just the identity of a middle level Formation Master is enough for some cultivation families to hire him as a guest, specifically for setting up large formations for the family.

After all, large formations are indispensable for every cultivation family.

"But the most important profession is still the Pill Master."

Zhou Sui's eyes gleamed.

The so-called formations, runes, artifact refining, swordsmanship, and other skills are just external paths used to enhance one's combat power and survival ability.

Only the Pill Master can refine various pills that enhance cultivation, which is the path to immortality.

After all, without cultivation improvement and lifespan extension, no matter how strong one's combat power is, they will still turn into a pile of bones after a hundred years.

Therefore, among the hundred arts of cultivation, the Pill Master is the highest position.

"Now another three months have passed, and the Lu family still hasn't sent anyone to find my clone. It seems that the Lu family has really given up. Three Lu family disciples died, yet they remained silent. It seems that the situation of the Lu family is really not good."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

He was well aware of the ruthlessness of the Lu family in Misty Cloud City. The Lu family was known for seeking revenge for even the slightest grievance. Any cultivator who killed a Lu family disciple would undoubtedly be hunted down to the end.

If it weren't for this notorious reputation, Misty Cloud City wouldn't be so safe, and not many cultivators would dare to act recklessly within the city.

But now, even though his family's disciples were killed, the other party didn't dare to leave the city to track them down.

Obviously, it was not his fearsome reputation that scared off the Lu family.

It was because the situation of the Lu family was not good, and they simply didn't dare to leave the city.

So even though their family members were killed and the identity of the culprit was unknown, they still didn't dare to act recklessly, fearing falling into a trap.

"If that's the case, then send the Book Gu over first to devour the inheritance of those alchemists."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

Anyway, he didn't need his clone to bring back the treasures. As long as the Book Gu devoured the inheritance jade slips, he would obtain the information inside, and his main body would not be threatened.

This was also a foolproof plan.

Even if the Lu family had left behind some special means in their inheritance, it would be of no use against him.

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

One day later, Zhou Sui's second clone left the city, carrying the Book Gu and arrived at the location where the first clone was hiding.

Crackling~~~

Seeing the jade slip of the first-level alchemist inheritance, the Book Gu felt very excited and immediately pounced on it, starting to devour it.

Splash~~~

The next moment, Zhou Sui, who was staying at home, immediately sensed the vast knowledge about the first-level alchemist inheritance through the connection with the Book Gu, like a flood rushing over.

"It's actually so complete?!"

Zhou Sui was very surprised. He felt that the alchemist inheritance he bought from the Lu family was really worth it, containing such a huge amount of information.

First of all, alchemists need to master a lot of knowledge. The first step is to identify herbs, spiritual herbs, and know the age and attributes of the spiritual herbs. Just this step alone would take at least several years, or even more than a decade, for an alchemist.

The second step is to refine the spiritual herbs because not all of them can be used entirely. Only the beneficial parts can be used, while toxic components need to be removed, and so on.

The third step is to understand the characteristics of various ethnic spiritual herbs, which ones conflict with each other, and which ones can be integrated.

In addition, alchemists also need to master various methods of pill refinement, such as fire-based, water-based, lightning-based, earth-based, and metal-based methods, and so on.

During pill refinement, attention also needs to be paid to the temperature and other factors.

But all this knowledge of alchemist inheritance was accumulated by previous generations. If it weren't for having a complete inheritance, there wouldn't be so much knowledge inside.

There was no doubt that he spent thousands of low-grade spirit stones to purchase this first-level alchemist inheritance, and it was indeed worth it.

Of course, at first, the shopkeeper from the Lu family probably didn't want to reveal this complete inheritance. He had the idea of killing two birds with one stone, but the Lu family disciples he sent were killed by him instead.

Although it was a poisonous candy, he still ate it.

As a result, the Lu family suffered a loss.

"If the first-level alchemist inheritance is so complete, could it be that the Lu family also has a second-level alchemist inheritance?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui couldn't help but feel excited.

If he could obtain the Lu family's second-level alchemist inheritance, then he would definitely become a second-level alchemist in the future. By then, he wouldn't need to rely on others. He alone would be able to refine Foundation Building Pills.

He also remembered the memories he obtained from those Lu family disciples before. He knew clearly that the Lu family's inheritance was hidden in the scripture pavilion of the Lu family's mansion.

This scripture pavilion stored a large number of inheritance jade slips, which were collected over more than two hundred years by the Lu family. The value inside was simply unimaginable.

"It seems that the Lu family won't last much longer. Perhaps when the Lu family's ancestor dies, the entire Lu family will be wiped out."

"By then, maybe I can take advantage of the chaos to attack the Lu family and seize the inheritance jade slips inside."

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

He couldn't imagine how much enlightenment he would gain if the Book Gu devoured a large number of inheritance jade slips.

Of course, such matters still needed careful planning and couldn't be rushed.

If there was no opportunity, he wouldn't act recklessly.
