“Damn, it seems I will still have to dig a hole in the Misty Cloud City.”
Zhou Sui couldn’t help but feel a surge of urgency.
As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken.
Facing the massive Golden Core Sect, the Ghost Demon Sect, his strength was virtually nothing.
If a Foundation-building Cultivator made a move, he would not have enough lives to spare.
There was no escaping.
The area around the Cloud Fog Mountain Range had already been locked down by the Ghost Demon Sect. If anyone dared to escape, it would be a road to certain death.
Therefore, only by hiding in the Misty Cloud City could he have a chance of survival.
After all, in such a large city, hiding a few people was a simple matter. The Ghost Demon Sect couldn’t possibly destroy the entire city.
Therefore, he thought of digging a hole under the Misty Cloud City, preferably an underground tunnel.
If anything unexpected happened, he could escape underground where other cultivators would be unable to detect him.
“It’s a pity Uncle Zhang has vanished. I hope he’s safe.”
Zhou Sui had initially wanted to share this matter with Zhang Cheng, but after Zhang Cheng had received the top-grade detoxifying pills, he disappeared with no trace and could not be found.
He could only hope that Zhang Cheng was safe and sound. There was nothing he could do.
“And I wonder what treasures these three demon cultivators have.”
At that thought, Zhou Sui immediately opened the storage bags from the three demon cultivators, and their contents immediately appeared before his eyes.
It must be said, these three demon cultivators were indeed rather rich.
Each demon cultivator had at least 150 middle grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to fifteen thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones.
This gave an idea of their wealth, most likely obtained by robbing other cultivators.
Apart from that, there were several bottles of pills in the storage bags, including a few detoxifying pills.
There were fifteen top-grade talismans, fifty-six mid-grade talismans, and a hundred low-grade talismans.
There were five lower-grade magical weapons, three middle-grade magical weapons, and one top-grade magical weapon.
There were even numerous poisons and poison mists.
“Is this not the Shadow Mist Thunder?”
Zhou Sui’s pupils contracted, seeing the infamous disposable magic weapon of the Ghost Demon Sect, the Shadow Mist Thunder, among the items in the storage bag.
This one-time-use magic weapon had immense power. If thrown, it could instantly unleash a massive explosion, which even late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators couldn’t withstand.
If one wasn’t careful, even Foundation-building cultivators could get injured.
Luckily, he had been alert and used all his strength to kill these three demon cultivators in seconds.
Otherwise, if he allowed these three demon cultivators to use all their tricks, he might have been in real danger.
“A breakthrough pill? Is this not a breakthrough pill?”
Zhou Sui was extremely excited as he checked the pills inside, and found an extremely precious pill, famous in the legends – the Breakthrough Pill.
This breakthrough pill was invaluable, worth a hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, no less than a top-grade detoxifying pill.
But the most important point was that it was an item that money may not necessarily be able to buy.
That was because as soon as such a pill was produced, it was immediately bought by other cultivators as it could help them break through a layer of cultivation.
If a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer cultivator consumed this pill, they could break through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer.
It is important to note that this was the bottleneck between the midway and the late stages of Qi Cultivation.
It was not uncommon for ordinary cultivators to be stuck at this bottleneck for twenty years.
But now, by consuming a single Breakthrough Pill, it could help break through the cultivation barrier, making it’s value self evident.
He had wanted to purchase a Breakthrough Pill at the Pill Medicine Pavilion in Misty Cloud City before, but they were always out of stock.
It seemed as soon as the Breakthrough Pills were available, they were bought up by either the Lu family or other cultivators, leaving none for him.
“Though there are plenty of treasures, I can’t bring them back to my physical body. Other than the Breakthrough Pill, let the Gold Eating Bug eat the rest.”
Zhou Sui was very excited. Once his cultivation had risen to a perfect Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, he could immediately use the pill to break through to the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and become a Late Qi Cultivation cultivator.
If he became a Late Qi Cultivation cultivator, his strength would increase drastically, it would be a world of difference compared to before.
However, even though there were many treasures inside these three storage bags, and plenty of spirit stones, none of them could be brought back.
Based on the memories of these three Demon Cultivators, it was likely that special techniques left by the Ghost Demon Sect existed.
If he really brought them back, it would instead cause trouble for his physical body.
But if everything was devoured by the Gold Eating Bug, any techniques would be useless, all would become food in the stomach.
Crunching Crunching—
Thinking this, Zhou Sui did not hesitate and immediately let the Gold Eating Bug begin its feast.
The first thing it ate was the Storage Bag, because the main material used to craft the Storage Bag was The Void Dark Stone, a special kind of space-mineral in the Cultivation World that contained storage space.
If the Cultivation World didn’t produce a large number of Void Dark Stones, it would be impossible for everyone to have a Storage Bag.
Essentially speaking, the Void Dark Stone was also a kind of special ore, and was one of the foods for the Gold Eating Bug.
Within a very short time, two Storage Bags were emptied by the Gold Eating Bug.
Rumble Rumble—
At this moment, the Gold Eating Bug seemed to have eaten a great tonic, its body instantly inflated by a fold, its skin surfaced with dense, mysterious runes.
More astonishingly, its stomach developed a special space that was akin to the interior space of the Void Dark Stone. The volume inside was not small either, it reached a volume of ten cubic meters, enough to store a large amount of materials.
“So this is the ability of the Gold Eating Bug? After devouring a kind of metal or ore, it can acquire the characteristics of these metals and mineral ores. Such a talent is too powerful. If it could devour a large amount of Void Dark Stones, wouldn’t its stomach be able to develop a huge space, or even a small world?”
“But there isn’t that much Void Dark Stone for it to eat.”
“Its cultivation has also improved now, reaching the realm of a Mid-First-grade.”
“There are still quite a few Spirit Stones and Magical Artifacts left, just throw them all into its stomach for it to slowly digest in the future.”
Zhou Sui was very satisfied.
Obviously, the Gold Eating Bug, with this ability, was much more convenient.
After all, a lot of the time, the Gold Eating Bug could not eat food indefinitely, it always had a satiety point.
The formation of a special space in its stomach could temporarily store large quantities of food for it to eat when it was hungry.
Without a doubt, the Gold Eating Bug still needs to swallow a lot of metal ores in order to grow quickly. Keeping it by his side would only stunt its growth.
It was better to let it grow freely in the wild.
In this way, the Gold Eating Bug’s growth rate would be much faster.
“Let’s go.” Perhaps the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect would come soon.”
With a sudden impulse, Zhou Sui didn’t stay any longer.
Rumble Rumble—
He used the Fireball Technique, instantly bombarding the corpses of these three Demon Cultivators, instantly disintegrating the three corpses.
The Ghost Demon Sect had many strange methods. If the corpses were left behind, who knew what methods they were proficient in, and could track him through these clues.
In any case, destroying these three corpses eradicated any traces and clues that could be used to track him..
