Soon, Zhang Cheng bid his farewells. Having obtained the Spirit Stones, he intended to purchase a high-grade Detoxifying Pill as quickly as possible. At that moment, Zhou Sui had also returned home.
What do you think of what Uncle Zhang said just now?”
Zhou Sui looked at his three wives and concubines – Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan. After all, these three women also had high levels of Cultivation. Although they were indoors, they must have heard Zhang Chengs conversation outside.
“I believe there’s more than a 70% probability that he’s right. The appearance of the Red Gold Mine has greatly stimulated the surrounding Sects, including the Demon Cultivators. The Red Gold is extremely important; if you incorporate it into a Magic Artifact, it can increase the power of the artifact by 30%. This will inevitably enhance the battle power of average Immortal Mist Sect Cultivators drastically. Other Sects can’t just stand by and watch the Immortal Mist Sect grow stronger.”
“If you trade Red Gold, the amount of money you can make is astonishing.” “In fact, I’ve heard other Cultivators mention something similar, implying that we may be invaded by Demon Cultivators. However, many Cultivators aren’t taking it seriously, stating that having the Immortal Mist Sect backing us, trivial Demon Sects don’t matter.”
“The problem is that the Immortal Mist Sect might not get seriously damaged, but we Loose Cultivators might.”
Stated Ji Bingyu in a solemn voice.
“So, should we immediately leave Misty Cloud City?”
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
Honestly, he had no major objections to leaving Misty Cloud City.
Considering the saying “a wise man avoids danger,” if Misty Cloud City truly became highly dangerous, leaving was a viable option.
“No, I don’t think we should leave Misty Cloud City for now.”
Xia Jingyan shook her head: “Even though it might be true that the Demon Cultivators plan to attack the Immortal Mist Sect, the Demon Cultivators might have already reached the vicinity of the Cloudy Mountain Range by now. Even if we wanted to leave, we might not necessarily be able to do so safely.” “You mean that the surroundings of the Cloudy Mountain Range might already be filled with Demon Cultivators, and anyone tempted to leave could be ambushed and killed by them?” Zhou Sui was shocked at this revelation and immediately considered this possibility.
“Indeed, that’s a high possibility.”
Ji Bingyu nodded: “If I were a Demon Cultivator, I would definitely set an ambush around the Cloudy Mountain Range, exclusively ambushing those Loose Cultivators who want to escape. To kill an escapee is to make a quick fortune.
Because these are Loose Cultivators, the Immortal Mist Sect won’t pay much attention. Even if too many die, it won’t matter. Therefore, compared to escaping it’s safer to stay in Misty Cloud City.”
Remember, this place is considered the Immortal Mist Sect’s property. The location is crucially important. The Immortal Mist Sect won’t abandon this city and let the Demon Cultivators wreak havoc.”
She felt staying in Misty Cloud City was a bit safer. After all, many Cultivators live here and they have the second-stage formation for protection.
If anything, it’s much safer than being out in the open.”
What you’re saying makes a lot of sense; staying in Misty Cloud City does seem safer.”
Zhou Sui agreed wholeheartedly.
Even if they were to be surrounded by Demon Cultivators, they couldn’t easily penetrate Misty Cloud City with the protection of the second-stage formation.
Even if they were to successfully penetrate it eventually, with the city filled with so many Cultivators, he could still take the opportunity to escape amidst the chaos.
Yes, the tunnels. Maybe it’s time to dig a tunnel and a cave as an escape route. Thinking about it, he suddenly remembered his previous plan to dig a tunnel several hundred meters deep underneath his house.
If serious danger occurred, he could escape through the tunnel at the first opportunity. Even the Demon Cultivators wouldn’t be able to catch him.
He planned to use the Gold Eating Bug he had just cultivated to dig the escape tunnel.
“No, the Gold Eating Bug is newly born and its strength is still too weak. It needs to consume a large amount of ore to grow swiftly.”
“The Red Gold Mine, perhaps I can put the Gold Eating Bug within the vein of the mine to consume a large amount of red gold and accelerate its growth.” Thinking of this, Zhou Sui’s eyes suddenly lit up.
To be honest, the appetite of the Gold Eating Bug was tremendous. It had nearly depleted the magic artifact materials he had in these few days, and even with a large number of spirit stones on him, he couldn’t afford its voracious appetite.
It was bound to eat him out of house and home eventually.
He had been considering how to feed the Gold Eating Bug before, relying solely on the spirit stones he had and that was impossible to maintain such an expensive pet.
However, if he placed the Gold Eating Bug into the Red Gold Mine of the Immortal Mist Sect, he could sneakily consume the red gold ore inside.
At that time, not only would he not need to spend a penny, but he could also accelerate the growth of the Gold Eating Bug.
It was certainly a win-win situation.
Not bad, not bad, this method is good. The Immortal Mist Sect forcibly seized my house and forced me to pay rent, clearly sucking my blood, eating my flesh.”
“Now my Gold Eating Bug can also take action, devour a large amount of red gold and take back some interest.”
Zhou Sui was quite excited.
Bear in mind, a pound of red gold could be sold for hundreds of Lower Grade Spiritual Stones, if it could devour dozens or even hundreds of kilograms, then he would definitely break even.
Not just breaking even, he could make a lot of profit, which is the textbook definition of a no-risk trade.
Moreover, consuming red gold, such a special metal, would also greatly enhance the power of the Gold Eating Bug.
Of course, his main body wouldn’t personally take action, his clone could take the Gold Eating Bug to the Red Gold Mine.
Incidentally, he could also have his Clone investigate whether the Yunwu Mountain Range really contains hidden Demon Cultivators.
Even if the Clone lost its life, it would be a great gain if it could obtain useful information.
“My Lord, what are you thinking about? Why are you so cheerful?”
Ji Bingyu curiously looked at the excited Zhou Sui.
“I was thinking, that given the increasingly dangerous situation lately, it is better to improve our cultivation as soon as possible. Therefore, we are going to work hard these days and dual cultivate several times. Then our cultivation could be rapidly promoted. Maybe I can quickly advance to the realm of Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.” Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
He looked at his three wives and concubines.
Especially Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi, who had become more mature and charming after his training, and had learned many tactics.
Of course, Xia Jingyan made the greatest progress. Although she didn’t dual cultivate frequently, her internal charm was equivalent to two or three others, which was incredibly powerful.
“Humph, shameless. You just want to bully us by talking about a rapid promotion in cultivation.”
My Lord, Misty Cloud City is about to collapse, yet you are thinking about such matters, what on earth are you thinking.”
The cute faces of Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi were flushed red, speaking indignantly.
Humph, you’re all limp-legged shrimps.”
Xia Jingyan didn’t say anything, but only snorted coldly. Apparently, she looked down on Zhou Sui greatly. She didn’t know which man in the beginning was all buffedd-up, but always left her room with his legs shaking, saying he wasn’t up to it anymore.
What?!
Seeing that contemptuous look, Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling furious deep inside. He would let this woman know how capable he was later.
However, speaking of that, he really had to find a body tempering skill as soon as possible.
Otherwise, he might have had some difficulty resisting the woman who possessed the enchanting physique, she was just too fierce..
