Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 54: Dig Deep Tunnels, Accumulate Grain, Prepare for War

Half an hour later.

Following the map he obtained from Misty Cloud City, Zhou Sui advanced towards the Red Gold Vein.

"They actually opened up a road?!"

When he was about to reach the Red Gold Vein, Zhou Sui looked around and was immediately surprised.

To be honest, this was his first time venturing so deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Normally, he would stay within the city, and even his previous clone only stayed near Misty Cloud City and didn't venture too far.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the vein, he discovered that a long road had been opened up in this area. The surrounding trees and weeds had been completely burned, leaving behind a muddy path leading to the mine.

Although it couldn't compare to the cement roads of his previous life, it was considered quite good in this world.

There were basically no disturbances along the way, and he easily arrived at the Red Gold Mine.

Upon careful consideration, it made sense. This area was under the rule of the Immortal Mist Sect, and no one with a lack of common sense would dare to attack.

"A second-grade formation is arranged within the vein. It seems that the Immortal Mist Sect is quite cautious."

Zhou Sui didn't enter, but observed from a distance. With his current cultivation of a mid-grade first-grade formation, he could immediately see that a second-grade grand formation had been set up in the entire Red Gold Mine.

Anyone who dared to invade the Red Gold Vein would undoubtedly be struck by thunder.

Clearly, the Immortal Mist Sect had invested heavily in protecting this property.

Unless they were disciples of the Immortal Mist Sect or miners who had signed a contract, no one else could enter.

Fortunately, he had long been prepared for this.

Swoosh!

Immediately, the Gold-Eating Worm flew up silently and instantly landed outside the storage bag of a cultivator miner who intended to enter.

In this way, the Gold-Eating Worm could silently invade the Red Gold Vein.

"It's done."

Zhou Sui sensed that the Gold-Eating Worm followed the independent cultivator miner and silently entered the depths of the mine without anyone noticing. He knew that his plan had been completely successful without any unexpected incidents.

"Old man, who are you?"

At this moment, a cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect who was guarding the mine seemed to have noticed Zhou Sui's suspicious behavior and immediately questioned him, wanting to know his origins.

Swoosh!

However, Zhou Sui had no interest in paying attention to the other party. With a flicker of his figure, he left the area.

The cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect hesitated, wanting to chase after him, but fearing it might be a trap, he ultimately chose to give up.

Of course, this clone did not choose to return to Misty Cloud City, but instead chose to stay in the wilderness.

It transformed back into the appearance of the original Gu, a worm, and then burrowed into one of the trees, immediately falling into a deep sleep, waiting for the host's awakening.

This was the power of the Gu clone. It not only condensed an identical body to the owner, but could also transform into a sub-Gu, changing into a worm, shrinking its body, and hiding invisibly.

As for the Breaking Stage Pill, it could be retrieved several months later. After all, the main body's cultivation had not yet reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Refining, so there was no point in bringing it back. It might even reveal his whereabouts.

...

At this moment, Zhou Sui, who was still at home, sensed the various messages from his clone and learned about what had just happened.

"No way, the Shadow Demon Sect and the Immortal Mist Sect are planning to go to war? If that's the case, won't Misty Cloud City become a battlefield?" Zhou Sui's face became serious.

Although he didn't know when the war would come, it was only a matter of time.

If we don't plan well now, when the war comes, it will be too late for anything.

"Fortunately, according to the memories of those three demonic cultivators, even if a war is truly launched, it won't happen overnight. At least for the next year, it won't be possible to launch it."

"This year is just enough time to make the necessary preparations."

Zhou Sui's eyes sparkled.

After all, when the cannons fire, gold is worth ten thousand taels.

Even in the world of cultivation, it cannot escape the law that war requires a large amount of money to be spent.

Without complete preparation, launching a war casually would be a path to death.

Even if the Shadow Demon Sect is foolish, they wouldn't be foolish to that extent.

"If war breaks out, the prices of pills, runes, Law Weapons, and food will skyrocket."

"Especially food, it doesn't matter if we don't have other cultivation resources, but we must have food."

"If we dig a hole at home, we should prepare food for at least a year, no, three years, five years, or even ten years, to be completely safe."

"Even if a stalemate occurs, I can at least stay in the hole for more than ten years and see who can outlast whom."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, showing determination.

After all, food can be stored in the Divine Gu Bowl, and even if it's kept for a hundred years, it won't spoil.

In this way, the more food prepared, the better. More is always better.

And currently, he has too many spirit stones on him.

Due to the sale of spirit wine, coupled with the continuous influx of independent cultivators into Misty Cloud City, the sales of spirit wine have been steadily increasing.

Even in just the past few months, he has earned two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This is already a quite astonishing number.

Ordinary cultivator families probably only earn this many spirit stones in a year.

If he wasn't afraid of being discovered, he would probably be able to earn even more spirit stones.

"Husband, what's wrong?"

Ji Bingyu had prepared lunch and had already set out delicious food outside. She saw Zhou Sui come out with a serious expression and curiously asked.

"I just received news that Misty Cloud City may have caught the attention of the Shadow Demon Sect."

Zhou Sui didn't hide anything and directly revealed the information he knew.

What?!

Upon hearing this, the three women's expressions changed. They didn't expect to hear such significant news.

"The Shadow Demon Sect is a demonic sect mentioned in rumors. It has three Gold Core demonic cultivators who are notorious for their ruthless and brutal actions. Wherever they go, not even a blade of grass can grow, and blood flows like rivers."

Ji Bingyu had also heard of this demonic sect. "If this sect sets its sights on the Immortal Mist Sect, then the Immortal Mist Sect will definitely be in trouble, at least it will be heavily damaged."

Of course, the Immortal Mist Sect is not easy to provoke either. They also have two Gold Core cultivators. The Shadow Demon Sect is not foolish and wouldn't want to engage in a mutually destructive war with the Immortal Mist Sect unless they are fully prepared.

"Yes, our Misty Cloud City is just an ordinary independent cultivator city. Even if it's close to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, it's not the core area of the Immortal Mist Sect. It shouldn't be the main target of the Shadow Demon Sect."

Mu Ziyan comforted.

"No, it's not that simple. Even if the Gold Core cultivators don't take action, just the Foundation Building cultivators alone can easily defeat us ordinary cultivators."

"But now, escaping is also impossible. As the husband said, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is already filled with Shadow Demon Sect cultivators. If we try to escape now, it would be falling right into their trap."

Ji Bingyu said in a deep voice.
