Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 87: Great Harvest, Refining the Spirit Medicine for Foundation Building Pill

"Tsk tsk, there are still so many Shadow Demon Sect secret manuals."

Zhou Sui continued to examine the treasures inside the storage bag and also discovered numerous demonic cultivation secret manuals.

However, each demonic cultivation manual had significant side effects.

For example, the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique" could burn one's own blood essence to temporarily gain strength several times beyond their original capacity. But once the eruption subsided, their blood essence would be depleted, leading to death.

Generally speaking, this technique would only be used as a last resort.

There was also the "Seven Cultivation Fingers," an extremely poisonous finger technique. Within the Shadow Demon Sect, there was a rare species of venomous snake called the Seven Cultivation Snake, which had seven heads and was incredibly poisonous. Once bitten by any of its heads, whether human or animal, immediate bloodshed and death would occur.

Shadow Demon Sect disciples used the venomous blood of the Seven Cultivation Snake to cultivate the Seven Cultivation Fingers. To cultivate this technique, one must first swallow the gallbladder of the snake and a specially made antidote to counteract the snake's venom. Once cultivated, the practitioner would become invincible, and anyone poisoned by their finger strikes would immediately lose their breath. However, the practitioner's body would also be constantly corroded by the intense poison, causing immense pain.

There was also the "Ten Thousand Shredding Technique," which was a side branch of the Shadow Demon Sect's zombie technique. It was an extremely vicious and evil technique. When attacking, one would use both palms and claws, instantly tearing the opponent into pieces. The practitioner would be immune to ordinary sword and blade attacks, and even precious weapons would only be able to harm them after depleting thirty to fifty percent of their true essence.

However, the more advanced this technique was cultivated, the faster the practitioner would turn into a zombie. At that point, their body would become stiff, invaded by malevolent energy, and their consciousness would be completely lost.

The only advantage of this technique was its quick mastery, allowing one to quickly obtain powerful strength.

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

Apart from these, there were many similar demonic cultivation techniques. In summary, they all shared the characteristics of quick mastery, quick effectiveness, great power, and, of course, quick death, extreme pain, and extreme cruelty.

"No wonder many cultivators despise demonic cultivators. These techniques are purely harmful to others and self-destructive, depleting one's lifespan."

"Since one wants to cultivate and become an immortal, naturally, they desire a long life."

"But these demonic cultivators go against the norm, depleting their own lifespan to obtain powerful strength."

"It's completely upside down."

Seeing these demonic cultivation techniques, Zhou Sui couldn't help but sigh. He also understood why the demonic sect was like a rat crossing the street, universally despised and hated by everyone.

These techniques were truly too evil and cruel, harming both heaven and earth, and others as well.

Even ordinary cultivators couldn't tolerate the actions of demonic cultivators.

Some people despised the hypocritical behavior of the prestigious sects.

But Zhou Sui didn't think so. Even if the prestigious sects were hypocritical, at least they wouldn't engage in widespread slaughter. They would always have a bottom line and maintain order.

Even if the lower-class people were oppressed, they could still survive to some extent.

But as for demonic cultivators, they had no bottom line at all. They would kill anyone they encountered, bad people or good people, harming others without benefiting themselves.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to completely eradicate demonic cultivators.

Because the majority of demonic cultivators had low spiritual roots, many of them had inferior spiritual roots.

The prestigious sects only recruited cultivators with medium or higher spiritual roots, leaving many cultivators with no path to pursue.

But the demonic sect would accept anyone.

As long as they had spiritual roots, they could become demonic cultivators and cultivate demonic techniques without discrimination.

Therefore, those with inferior spiritual roots only had two choices.

Either become an Independent Cultivator or become a demonic cultivator.

It was precisely because the majority of demonic cultivators had average aptitude that, without special encounters, they had no hope of reaching Foundation Building in their lifetime.

But since they had embarked on the path of cultivation, who would willingly perish halfway, watching their lifespan deplete?

So these demonic cultivators became even more unruly and arrogant in their actions.

For the sake of their own path, they would stop at nothing.

Even if it is a demonic cultivation technique with great side effects, as long as one can quickly grasp the power and improve their cultivation, once they become a Foundation Building cultivator, everything can be compensated for.

"These demonic cultivation manuals have all been eaten by the Book Gu."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

He carefully looked at these demonic cultivation manuals and basically none of them were what he needed. He had the hope of longevity, so why bother cultivating these shortcut techniques?

Of course, it didn't mean that these demonic cultivation manuals were useless.

For the Book Gu, they were actually a kind of food.

The more books it consumed, the faster the Book Gu would grow, and it could also increase the time it spent in enlightenment, helping it quickly comprehend various knowledge.

"It seems there are quite a few Law Weapons."

Zhou Sui continued to inspect the contents of the storage bag. Besides talismans, demonic cultivation manuals, and spirit stones, the most valuable treasures were naturally the Law Weapons.

As a Qi Refining cultivator at the ninth level, it was naturally impossible for him to use ordinary Law Weapons.

Basically, they all had a high-grade Law Weapon.

If added up, there were at least ten high-grade Law Weapons.

In addition, there were hundreds of low-grade Law Weapons and dozens of medium-grade Law Weapons.

These Law Weapons were most likely obtained by these demonic cultivators robbing others. Otherwise, how could normal cultivators have so many Law Weapons?

If all these Law Weapons were sold, it was feared that he could obtain thousands of medium-grade spirit stones.

This was an astonishing sum of money.

There was no doubt that just from what he had obtained before, he had acquired treasures worth over ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones.

This was simply getting rich overnight.

"Wait, are these spirit medicines the ones used to refine Foundation Building Pills?"

In an instant, Zhou Sui was shocked. He checked the remaining treasures in the storage bag, and they were spirit medicines.

He was astonished to find that there were dozens of different types of spirit medicines, basically all recorded in the recipe for Foundation Building Pills.

Except for the main medicine, the Golden Jade Lingzhi, all the other spirit medicines were complete.

Added up densely, there were at least five sets of spirit medicines for refining Foundation Building Pills.

"Right, Xu Tianze and the others are all Qi Refining cultivators at the ninth level. They are not far from the Foundation Building stage, so naturally, they need to start considering Foundation Building."

"The problem is, even if they are cultivators of the Shadow Demon Sect, it is not easy for them to obtain Foundation Building Pills."

"Besides the true disciples, it is basically impossible for ordinary disciples to obtain Foundation Building Pills."

"So these demonic cultivators naturally consider obtaining Foundation Building Pills from other places, first collecting the spirit medicines for refining Foundation Building Pills, and then finding a second-grade alchemist to cooperate in refining Foundation Building Pills."

"This is also a method for many cultivators to obtain Foundation Building Pills."

In an instant, Zhou Sui knew from the memories of the demonic cultivators why they had so many sets of spirit medicines for Foundation Building Pills.

These demonic cultivators had made preparations in advance for their own Foundation Building.

Unfortunately, these demonic cultivators would never have thought of it.

He had painstakingly collected spirit medicines for refining Foundation Building Pills for who knows how many years, and they had all been left to Zhou Sui.

This was simply making clothes for others.

It greatly benefited Zhou Sui and saved him a lot of time collecting spirit medicines.

Next, as long as he could find the Golden Jade Lingzhi or a second-grade demonic pill, he could try to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
