Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 97: The Lu Family's Scripture Pavilion and the Tunnel to the Lu Family

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During this month, Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan all lived in the underground shelter.

Life was quite monotonous.

Cultivation, dual cultivation, cultivation and dual cultivation, it was almost a routine.

In fact, their lives underground were not much different from their lives above ground, except for the lack of sunlight.

For people like Zhou Sui and the others, who were like otaku, they had long been accustomed to it.

Instead of being disturbed by others, they found it more comfortable and wished to stay here forever.

"Husband, how is the situation in Misty Cloud City now?" Ji Bingyu curiously asked.

She would come and inquire about the situation in Misty Cloud City every few days. After all, Zhou Sui had five avatars stationed in various corners of Misty Cloud City, monitoring every move.

Although they were in the underground shelter, they were still well-informed about the situation in Misty Cloud City.

"It's very bad," Zhou Sui thought for a moment, recalling the information brought back by his avatars. "Although the Immortal Mist Sect and the Lu Family used despicable means to forcibly conscript all the independent cultivators and force them to join the patrol team, even using poison to control them, the situation in Misty Cloud City has not fundamentally changed. The Shadow Demon Sect's attacks have become more and more intense, requiring a large amount of spiritual stones to maintain the operation of the formation. Once the spiritual stones in the city are completely depleted, the formation will naturally collapse, and then the Lu Family and the Immortal Mist Sect will be powerless."

Although the second-tier formation was powerful, it couldn't work without rice.

If there was no spiritual stone as an energy source, the formation would not be able to operate.

Even with the underground spiritual veins as a supplementary energy source, the problem was that the spiritual energy in the underground spiritual veins was not endless.

When consumption exceeded replenishment, it would be the moment when the formation collapsed.

The Shadow Demon Sect was well aware of this, which was why they attacked day and night without stopping.

Now, the patrol team in Misty Cloud City was basically working in three shifts, with many cultivators stationed at the nodes of the formation, maintaining its operation, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"If that's the case, Misty Cloud City is definitely doomed. When the formation is broken, they won't be able to escape," Ji Bingyu said.

"I heard that the Lu Family is a Foundation Building family that has been around for two hundred years and they control Misty Cloud City. They are incredibly wealthy," Mu Ziyan added.

"If Misty Cloud City is breached, perhaps we can take advantage of the chaos and seize the Lu Family's treasures," Xia Jingyan's eyes gleamed with excitement.

She still vividly remembered the Lu Family's tyranny and arrogance. If they hadn't escaped quickly and set up the underground shelter in advance, they would have been under the control of the Lu Family and the Immortal Mist Sect.

Naturally, she wanted to take advantage of the situation and rob them.

"Why wait until Misty Cloud City is breached? Perhaps we can steal from the Lu Family's treasure vault now," Mu Ziyan suggested.

"Good idea," Zhou Sui's eyes lit up at the suggestion. He had to admit that it was a very good idea.

If they waited until Misty Cloud City was breached, the Lu Family's treasure vault would have already been taken away by the Lu Family members.

By then, it would be too late to reach the treasure vault.

Moreover, Zhou Sui had been coveting the Lu Family's treasure vault for a long time.

Especially the inheritance of the second-tier alchemist, it was simply a must-have.

Without the inheritance of the second-tier alchemist, he didn't even know how long it would take to become a second-tier alchemist.

It should be noted that Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, and Ji Bingyu, due to years of hard cultivation, had already reached the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, just one step away from Foundation Building.

The reason they hadn't achieved Foundation Building yet was because the success rate of Foundation Building was only fifty percent.

They were all waiting for the Foundation Building Pill.

In fact, this was the norm for cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining stage. They usually spent a lot of time waiting for the Foundation Building Pill.

Otherwise, if the Foundation Building fails, it would mean certain death.

There's no need to rush.

"Oh, I seem to have obtained the memories of a member of the Lu family."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also recalled his previous encounters. He had killed several members of the Lu family and used the Dream Soul Gu to search their memories, obtaining a large amount of information.

Among them was information about the Lu family's treasure vault.

According to the memories of those Lu family members, there was a scripture pavilion within the Lu family's residence. It contained various cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and more that the Lu family had collected over the past two hundred years.

It could be said that this kind of inheritance was no less than that of a small sect.

"If it's a place where a large number of pills, spiritual herbs, and Law Weapons are hidden, it must be heavily guarded."

"It would be difficult to secretly snatch them."

"But if it's the scripture pavilion, it might be easier to get our hands on."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

To be honest, he was very interested in the secret manuals collected by the Lu family.

Not only did they include the inheritance of a second-level alchemist, but those secret manuals he had never seen before could also be given to the Book Gu to devour, thereby increasing the Book Gu's power.

It would even enhance his comprehension time, killing two birds with one stone.

...

A few days later.

With the help of the Gold Devouring Worm, Zhou Sui directly dug a passage from the underground shelter to the Lu family's mansion.

And after several days of investigation, he also found out the location of the Lu family's scripture pavilion.

Moreover, this underground passage was directly beneath the scripture pavilion.

Even if the Lu family cultivators racked their brains, they would never think that there was an underground passage right under their noses.

"Sure enough, although it's just the Lu family's scripture pavilion, there are still several Qi Refining ninth-level cultivators guarding it."

"In addition, the scripture pavilion is also protected by a prohibition formation. Once triggered, it will definitely alert the entire Lu family."

"Most importantly, the Foundation Building ancestor of the Lu family is still alive. We must not act rashly."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

With the power of his divine sense, he could sense the situation of many Lu family cultivators.

He even sensed that in a certain courtyard deep within the Lu family, there seemed to be a Foundation Building cultivator residing there.

However, the other party's aura was weak, as if their life was about to end.

But even if their life was about to end, they were still a Foundation Building cultivator, with formidable strength.

Just like a tiger.

The closer a dying tiger is to death, the more terrifying its attack power becomes.

One careless move, and one would die under the tiger's claws.

"I still can't be impatient. Let's wait for the Shadow Demon Sect to attack."

"When the formation is broken, we can enter the Lu family and plunder their treasures."

"We must be patient."

"Patience is the best quality for cultivation."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately calmed down.

For him, the success or failure of this matter was not that important.

If it was truly impossible, he wouldn't force it.

He preferred to go with the flow.

"Hmm? What are these Lu family elders doing?"

At this moment, Zhou Sui's divine sense sensed that many Lu family elders were holding a meeting on the ground. His divine sense silently approached and perceived the voices inside.
