Far away, the members of the Shen family were heading towards their resting place.
“Ancestor, what do you think of that youngster we just encountered? Does he share the same objective as us, the Shen family? Does he pose a threat to us?” Shen Wan respectfully asked his family’s Foundation Establishment Elder.
“That youngster is quite unusual. He appears to be only 21 or 22 years old, yet he is already a Qi Cultivation eighth-layer cultivator, at least possessing the aptitude of an Upper Grade Spirit Root.”
“Of course, this youngster is not a big deal. The one in the depths of the valley, Elder Zhou from the Zhou family, is far superior. The other party is likely a full-fledged Foundation Establishment Cultivator.”
What?!
With this remark, the expressions of the Shen family cultivators drastically changed.
They knew what a full-fledged Foundation Establishment means. Even their own ancestor was only in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment, far from reaching the later stage.
Unless they encounter special circumstances, usually their limit in this life would be the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
However, that mysterious cultivator from the Zhou family has already achieved a full-fledged Foundation Establishment.
Doesn’t this mean that he is on the verge of entering the Golden Core realm?! “Ancestor, if there’s such a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator entering the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, could it be that he’s also like us, searching for a Golden Core Cave Mansion?” Shen Wan was taken aback.
The reason they arrived deep in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was not only for the monstrous resources and spiritual medicines of this mountain range, but also because they had found an ancient cave mansion of a Golden Core cultivator.
However, breaking the prohibition array of this cave mansion was extremely difficult.
They had teamed up with the Xiao family and the Mu family to unlock it after more than ten years, and they were now nearing the end.
He didn’t want any accidents to happen at this juncture.
“Foolish! What are the chances of such a coincidence occurring? We, the three major clans, have kept this matter strictly confidential; there’s no way outsiders would know.”
“While full-fledged Foundation Establishment cultivators are rare, they are not non-existent.”
-The probability is that he came to Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt second-stage monstrous beasts and refine Foundation Pills.” “Anyway, we should maintain a normal attitude and not reveal any flaws.” ■■Pretend that we are also a cultivator’s family that came to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt monsters.”
“If there are any resources, we can trade with him.”
Elder Shen Sheng of the Shen family said in a deep voice.
“Yes, ancestor.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
After the cultivators of the Shen family left, cultivators from nearby families like Xiao and Mu, etc. came to visit Zhou Sui and the others.
They also seemed to be cultivator families that had been in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for a long time and were familiar with it.
Zhou Sui also acted as a host and from them, he received a lot of intelligence about the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
For example, the distribution of monsters, the location of spiritual medicines, and particularly dangerous areas, etc.
In short, he benefited a lot from these interactions.
-My lord, the cultivators from these Foundation Establishment families are really friendly.”
Mu Ziyi exclaimed.
Obviously, when these cultivators came to visit, they also brought a lot of gifts with them.
Everyone was amicable and pleasant.
It was completely different from the ferocious Sect cultivators and family cultivators in Misty Cloud City. They had two completely different faces.
In her time as a Loose Cultivator, this was the first time she had encountered such friendly cultivators.
The cultivators she met before were either robbers or rent-seekers. “Friendly my ass, it’s all because of Elder Leng’s reputation. When you become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you’ll find that there are good people all around you.”
Zhou Sui said irritably.
He was fully aware of why there had been such a drastic change in the attitude of the cultivator families. It was all for the face of Leng Yuexi, the full-fledged Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If it weren’t for Leng Yuexi’s backing, they would probably show a completely different face.
They might even rise violently, murder and rob, rather than speak in such a calm manner.
That being said, this feeling was quite pleasurable.
Having a Foundation Establishment cultivator supporting him from behind made everyone bow down to him, showing him utmost respect. This sense of security was simply indescribable.
In one word: refreshing.
“indeed, if one doesn’t behave properly in front of a full-fledged Foundation Establishment cultivator, one is simply courting death. It’s all thanks to Elder Leng’s reputation.”
Ji Bingyu also agreed.
She had seen through the fickleness of human nature.
Having a Foundation Establishment cultivator standing behind one would have a completely different result.
Everyone would be extremely respectful towards you, or at least they would give you some face.
The importance of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is simply too great. Even in a Sect, they are considered an absolute backbone of strength.
They were already qualified to become Sect Elders.
Even if a Loose Cultivator achieved Foundation Establishment, they would be warmly invited by the Sect to become a VIP.
Thinking of this, she was even more eager to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Once she becomes a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there will be a world of difference in her strength, status, and lifespan.
-We still need to be careful. These cultivators appear to be friendly, but we don’t know if they have some hidden agenda.”
Xia Jingyan felt that they still needed to be vigilant and not be fooled by these family cultivators.
“Regardless of them, we are here to cultivate in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.”
Zhou Sui had made up his mind to stay in the valley and cultivate peacefully. As for the plans of these cultivator families, they didn’t have much to do with him. Of course, he also had to be alert for the various powerful monsters deep within the mountain range.
If he accidentally provoked a third-stage monster, he would likely be done for. Fortunately, this place was far from the nests of the third-stage monsters. Otherwise, he would have to consider moving.
“Alright, my lord.”
Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan all nodded, having learned to be cautious after spending so much time with Zhou Sui.
Unsolicited help is either a trap or a theft.
As long as they ignore the hooks that others throw at them, they naturally remain invincible.
“Let’s first explore the surroundings.”
With this thought, Zhou Sui gave a notion, released the six clones he carried, and hundreds of Gold Eating Bugs, and let them roam in all directions. Although he had received a lot of information from the cultivator families, who knows whether it is true or false.
No matter what, he needed to go and see for himself to confirm the authenticity of the information.
Of course, there was no need for him to go personally, the clones were enough for gathering information.
Late at night.
After having eaten and drunk his fill, Zhou Sui once again dual cultivated, tirelessly working!
His wives and concubines were satisfied, their faces flush with contentment.
“This bastard is at it again.”
Leng Yuexi, who was nearby cultivating in seclusion, blushed at the sound, and was embarrassed.
But there was no way around it; after all, this man was her benefactor and had saved her life.
Also, this is a normal behavior between Dao companions; she has nothing to criticize.
With this thought, she was forced to add another layer of soundproof barrier, out of sight, out of mind.
However, her inner restlessness took a long time to calm down..
