Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 59: Master Alchemist, Legion of Gold Devouring Insects

March.

The long winter has finally passed, the ice and snow have melted, and the earth is rejuvenating. The spring is beautiful, and the temperature is rising.

However, for many cultivators of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, spring is even more dangerous.

This is because a large number of hibernating monsters have awakened. Due to the lack of food during the winter, they are extremely hungry and aggressive. If cultivators encounter them, they will definitely be attacked by these monsters.

Many monsters will come out to hunt.

Every spring, many cultivators die in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range due to being caught off guard and attacked by monsters.

Of course, for Zhou Sui, who is staying in Misty Cloud City, these things are not a problem at all.

Because he doesn't venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range at all.

At this moment, in the quiet room.

"It's done, I've successfully refined the Yellow Dragon Pill."

Zhou Sui laughed heartily, feeling joyful as he saw three round and golden pills floating inside the pill cauldron. The whole room was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

After three months of comprehension and alchemy, he has become more proficient in pill refinement.

The Yellow Dragon Pill is a high-grade pill suitable for cultivators in the later stage of Qi Refining. It is quite valuable.

One Yellow Dragon Pill is worth five hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Now that he can refine the Yellow Dragon Pill, it naturally means that he has become a master alchemist.

With this level of alchemy, he can become a distinguished guest in any cultivator family, or even a guest elder, and be sought after by countless cultivators. This is a highly skilled talent.

No matter where he goes, he is highly sought after and has a high value.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui opened his virtual panel.

[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: 6th layer of Qi Refining (65% progress), Lifespan: 20 (120) years]

[Talent: 7th-grade spiritual root (10%)]

[Sword Dao: 1st-grade superior (80%)]

[Rune: 1st-grade superior (55%)]

[Formation: 1st-grade medium (75%)]

[Alchemist: 1st-grade superior (25%)]

[Transformation Art of Illusion and Demonization: Proficient (85%)]

[Five Elements Pill Refinement Technique: Proficient (25%)]

[Fireball Technique: Mastery (25%), Wind Blade Technique: Proficient, Golden Light Technique: Proficient, Icy Cold Technique: Proficient, Spring Breeze Rain Technique: Proficient, Thunder Summoning Technique: Proficient...]

There is no doubt that during these three months, his various abilities have steadily improved.

In addition to advancing to the realm of a superior master alchemist, his cultivation of the Five Elements Pill Refinement Technique has surpassed proficiency and reached the level of mastery.

It is precisely because of the progress in the Five Elements Pill Refinement Technique that he has become a superior master alchemist so quickly.

At the same time, the progress of this technique seems to have also influenced his comprehension of the Five Elements techniques.

Basically, all the techniques he has learned have entered the stage of proficiency, even if he didn't practice these techniques much before, it seems like he naturally learned them.

Unfortunately, the Transformation Art of Illusion and Demonization is still at the level of proficiency.

But this is also unavoidable. After reaching the level of proficiency, the time and difficulty required to further improve will increase exponentially.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, it would take at least several decades to make a slight improvement.

Now that he has made so much progress, he can already be considered a genius.

"It's too fast. I didn't expect to become a superior master alchemist in just a few months."

Zhou Sui was deeply moved.

He sensed a surge of knowledge about pill refining and various pill-making techniques coming from the depths of his consciousness. Now, he was truly a top-grade pill master.

It should be noted that his previous neighbor, Zhang Cheng, had spent decades and wasted years, only hovering around the middle-grade pill master level. It was estimated that he would never have the hope of becoming a top-grade pill master in his lifetime.

But within a few months, Zhou Sui had become a top-grade pill master. If this news were to spread, it would surely shock many people.

Of course, all of this was thanks to the help of the Book Gu.

If it weren't for the power of the Book Gu to assist in improving his comprehension, his cultivation as a pill master would not have advanced so quickly.

"It seems that becoming a second-rank pill master is just a matter of time."

"But I still need to obtain the inheritance of a second-rank pill master."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

After all, he had only obtained the inheritance of a first-rank pill master for now and did not have the inheritance of a second-rank pill master.

But to obtain the inheritance of a second-rank pill master, perhaps he could only go to a sect like the Immortal Mist Sect.

No, perhaps the Lu Family also had the inheritance of a second-rank pill master.

However, the Lu Family was currently in its prime, with Foundation Building cultivators backing them. It would be difficult for him to obtain the knowledge of the second-rank pill master inheritance from the Lu Family, and he wouldn't foolishly offend them.

"Forget it, there's no rush, and there may be other methods."

Zhou Sui never wanted to take risks. He preferred to go with the flow in order to minimize his danger.

It had to be said that in the past few months, Misty Cloud City had been relatively calm. Even the number of fights had decreased, and the public security had improved. It was vaguely returning to the situation before the Immortal Mist Sect settled in Misty Cloud City.

It was unclear whether this was the calm before the storm.

In any case, so far, there were no signs of the Shadow Demon Sect attacking the Immortal Mist Sect, and even the traces of demonic cultivators had disappeared.

It felt as if everything he had heard before was false news.

But for him, it was also a good thing because he didn't want Misty Cloud City to descend into chaos. Being able to cultivate peacefully and steadily to the Foundation Building stage was the best situation. Who would want to be caught in a war?

In troubled times, people are worse off than dogs. This is not just a casual saying but a well-known truth.

"Regardless of whether the Shadow Demon Sect intends to attack Misty Cloud City, I need to dig a tunnel and prepare an escape route."

Zhou Sui clenched his fist.

In fact, the biggest change in the past three months was the Golden Devouring Worm.

After entering the Golden Vein, the Golden Devouring Worm began to lay eggs and devour the gold within the vein every day.

This allowed its cultivation to increase exponentially, reaching the realm of a top-grade first-rank creature.

Originally, this gold was the property of the Immortal Mist Sect and had considerable value.

But now, the Golden Devouring Worm had secretly eaten a large amount of it.

Perhaps when the cultivators of the Immortal Mist Sect dug to the deepest part, they would be astonished to find that the Golden Vein seemed to have shrunk significantly, not as vast as they had imagined.

This Golden Vein was simply the best cafeteria for the Golden Devouring Worm.

It would eat when it woke up and sleep when it was full.

This was the best life for the Golden Devouring Worm in the Golden Vein.

So far, the Golden Devouring Mother Worm had already given birth to two hundred Golden Devouring Worms, enough to form a small army that could unleash astonishing power.

If an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator at the later stage encountered this army of Golden Devouring Worms, they would have no chance of survival.

"Let a hundred Golden Devouring Worms come back first. With these worms, I can completely dig an underground passage to other places."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He knew very well about the incredible digging ability of the Golden Devouring Worm. In just a few days, it could dig a tunnel tens of kilometers long, like a natural digging beast.

At the same time, they could devour the soil and feed on it, so there was no need to worry about a large amount of soil being exposed during the digging, which would alert other cultivators to his movements.
