Chapter 277: Chapter 224: Perfect Foundation Establishment, Mana Solidification_3
Spiritual medicines that are unattainable on Immortal Mist Island can now be seen everywhere in the sea area.
Due to this, the strength of the Immortal Mist Sect has significantly increased over this period, giving rise to many Foundation Establishment elders.
“Where are the others? Where have they gone?”
Zhou Sui inquired about the whereabouts of his other companions.
“Sister Shen remains on Fire Star Island. Currently, she is obsessed with alchemy. She hasn’t left the Alchemy Room for several days.”
“As for Sister Lin, she’s still in closed-door cultivation, seemingly perfecting her Golden Core Cultivation Power to prepare for Nascent Soul formation.”
“Sister Ji is currently residing in the Immortal Mist Sect. As the Peak Master of Sword Peak, she likely guides disciples in swordsmanship. Given her present state of Second-Order comprehension, she has more than enough capability to mentor disciples.”
“Sister Xia is still engrossed in the study of Seventh-Order formation knowledge on Array Peak. Recently, she had profound insights about formations, helping the Immortal Mist Sect build many Second-Order formations in the process.”
“Lastly, Sister Mu is the most formidable Talisman Master of our Immortal Mist Sect. She recently opened a talisman shop in Immortal Mist City, primarily selling talismans refined by our sect. Her talismans are highly praised and are likely for sale in Immortal Mist City.”
Leng Yuexi briefly described the current conditions of their sisters.
“Good.”
Listening to these words, Zhou Sui felt satisfied. This represented the tranquil daily life of cultivators, unlike his previous experiences in Misty Cloud City, where one had to tread carefully due to fears of being eradicated by other cultivators unexpectedly.
He spent every day in fear, living a life that wasn’t fit for any human.
Of course, there probably wasn’t much difference between the present Immortal Mist City and Misty Cloud City.
The reason for this transformation was purely due to his increased strength.
His cultivation wasn’t just limited to reaching the Foundation Establishment, his body was comparable to body cultivators at the Golden Core stage.
Even when encountering cultivators in the early stages of Golden Core, he could best them in battle.
As a result, factors that could threaten him have significantly decreased, and he no longer needs to live in constant fear like before. This is the underlying drive for his continuous cultivation improvements.
Not only about the extension of life, more importantly, he wanted to live peacefully and comfortably.
Next, Zhou Sui and Leng Yuexi went shopping in Immortal Mist City.
They bought some street food.
They tried on some new clothes and shoes.
They also checked out the market stalls set by Loose Cultivators, looking for potential bargains.
They spent the entire afternoon browsing the city.
Zhou Sui hasn’t had the chance to enjoy shopping in a long time, just like in his former life.
He felt a sense of calm washing over his soul.
“Huh?!”
In the evening, as the sun was about to set, Zhou Sui planned to return to Immortal Mist Peak. However, suddenly, he felt a stroke of unease, and his eyes flashed a hint of a cold glint.
“What’s the matter, my lord?”
Leng Yuexi immediately noticed her lord’s reaction and asked.
“It’s bad. Purple Yan is in danger.”
“A Golden Core cultivator is trying to abduct her.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fist, his face was serious. He sensed that his clone residing within Mu Ziyi had taken action, blocking the sudden attack, thereby saving Mu Ziyi.
What?!
On hearing this, Leng Yuexi was equally shocked. This was Immortal Mist City after all, which Golden Core cultivator would dare to cause trouble, especially in broad daylight.
Whoosh!
However, without saying anything more, Zhou Sui invoked the Teleportation Insect and instantly appeared by Mu Ziyi’s side.
A little earlier in time.
A young man wearing extravagant clothes, looking pale, appeared in Immortal Mist City, two Golden Core early stage guards flanked him, their bodies emanating a formidable aura.
His name was Shangguan Xu, a cultivator in the early stages of Golden Core.
If it was just that, it could be ignored, but his father, Shangguan Qing, was a Nascent Soul Ancestor of Wuji Alliance.
With the backing of his father’s reputation, he was practically unchallenged in this sea area.
Wherever he went, he was treated as a guest of honor.
This man was greedy and corrupt, a typical debauchee; his bad reputation had long ago spread throughout Wuji Alliance.
However, due to his personal cultivation and his father being a Nascent Soul Ancestor, most could do nothing but endure his deceit.
“Tsk-tsk, this place is Immortal Mist City?”
“In just ten years of development, it has reached this scale.”
“It seems the cultivators here know how to amass wealth.”
Shangguan Xu’s eyes revealed a greedy look. Seeing the bustling shops and the constant flow of cultivators, in his eyes, this city was a fat sheep.
Prior to arriving in Immortal Mist City, he had investigated all the information about this place.
Immortal Mist City is controlled by three external Golden Core Sects that had joined the Wuji Alliance just ten years ago.
In short, they don’t have any backing of any Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Hence, forces rich yet without any powerful backing like this were his favorite targets of extortion.
Even with one successful attempt, he does not have to worry about the resources required for his cultivation for the next several decades.
Even if he fails, he doesn’t care. After all, with his father’s position as a Nascent Soul Ancestor, nobody dares to harm him.
This is why he had been unscrupulous in Wuji Alliance for more than three hundred years. Despite his numerous atrocities, he managed to survive and thrive..
