Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Top-grade Pill Master, Gold Eating Bug Legion !
Translator: 549690339
March.
The long winter finally passed. Ice and snow melted, spring returned to the land, and temperatures rose.
However, for many cultivators in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, spring was even more dangerous.
This was because countless hibernating beasts would wake up after a winter of starvation, leading to an extreme lack of food and increased aggression. If a cultivator encountered these beasts, they would surely be attacked.
So, many beasts would go on a hunt.
Every spring, a significant number of cultivators would fall prey to surprise attacks from beasts and lose their lives in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
Of course, for Zhou Sui, who stayed within the safety of Misty Cloud City, these factors were of no concern.
This was because he would not venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
At this moment, within the quiet chamber.
“I did it, I refined the Yellow Dragon Pill.”
!!..
Zhou Sui laughed heartily, filled with joy. Seeing the round, yellow pills emerging inside the pill furnace, the entire room was filled with a strong aroma of medicinal pills.
After three months of comprehension and pill refining, he was becoming more and more proficient in pill refinement.
The Yellow Dragon Pill was a superior quality pill suitable for late Qi cultivation practitioners and was quite valuable.
A single Yellow Dragon Pill was worth 500 lower grade spirit stones.
Now that he could refine Yellow Dragon Pills, it meant that he had become a superior pill master.
This level of prowess as a pill master could make him an honored guest or even a patron in any cultivator’s family. Numerous cultivators would admire him, considering him a highly skilled talent.
No matter where he went, he would be highly regarded and command a high price.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui opened his virtual panel.
[Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer (Progress 65%), Life Span: 20 (120) years]
[Aptitude: Seventh Grade Spiritual Root (10%)]
[Swordsmanship: First-grade Superior (80%)]
[Rune: First-grade Superior (55%)]
[Seventh-Order Formation: Mid-First-grade (75%)]
[Pill Master: First-grade Superior (25%)]
[Phantasma Transformation skill: Proficient (85%)]
[Five Elements Alchemy Technique: Proficient (25%)]
[Fireball Technique: Great Achievement (25%), Wind Blade Art: Skilled, Golden Light skill: Skilled, Ice Frost skill: Skilled, Spring Wind Rain skill: Skilled, Lightning Summoning skill: Skilled…]
Without a doubt, in these three months, all his abilities had steadily improved.
Aside from his level as a pill master rising to the status of a superior pill master, his training in the Five Elements Alchemy Technique had surpassed the skilled level and reached the proficient level.
This progression in the Five Elements Alchemy Technique was the reason he quickly became a superior pill master.
The progress of this technique seemed to have also facilitated his understanding of the Five Elements magic techniques.
Pretty much all the skills he learned had entered the skilled level, even though he didn’t really practice those spells previously. It felt like he naturally acquired these skills.
The only regret was that the Phantasma Transformation skill was still at the proficient level.
However, this couldn’t be helped. Once it reached the proficient level, any further improvement would geometrically increase the time and difficulty of comprehension.
A regular cultivator would need at least a few decades to see a slight improvement.
His current progress was already considered the level of a genius.
“This is so fast. I didn’t expect that in just a few months, I would become a superior pill master.”
Zhou Sui was very emotional.
He sensed that from deep in his Sea of Consciousness waves of knowledge about pills were flowing, along with many methods of pill preparation. Before long, he had become a true superlative Pill Master.
It should be known that his previous neighbor, Zhang Cheng, had spent decades of time, getting older and older, but still only managing to hover around being a middle-grade Pill Master. This was why it was guessed that in his lifetime there was no hope of becoming a superb Pill Master.
But to suddenly become a superb Pill Master in a few months’ time, saying so out loud would scare a lot of people.
Of course, all of this was thanks to the help of the Book Worm.
Without the power of the Book Worm to help improve enlightenment, his Alchemist Cultivation would not have increased this quickly.
“It seems that becoming a second-stage pill master is something that will happen very soon.”
“However, I still need to obtain the heritage of a second-stage pill master.”
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
After all, he had only obtained the heritage of a first-stage pill master, not the heritage of a second-stage pill master.
But to get the heritage of a second-stage pill master, perhaps he has to go to a sect like the Immortal Mist Sect.
No, maybe the Lu family has the heritage of a second-stage pill master.
Yet, currently the Lu family is still in its heyday, backed by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, making it hard to obtain the knowledge of second-stage pill master inheritance from them, he certainly wouldn’t foolishly offend the Lu family.
“Forget it, there is no need to hurry, there might be other methods.”
Zhou Sui does not wish to take risks, he’s more inclined to follow the course of events, minimalizing any danger to himself.
It goes without saying that over the past few months, Misty Cloud City has been calm, even the fights have decreased significantly and public security has also improved a bit, it almost returns to the state when the Immortal Mist Sect never entered Misty Cloud City.
It is unknown whether this is the calm before the storm.
In any case, for now, the Ghost Demon Sect has shown no signs of attacking the Immortal Mist Sect, not even traces of demonic path cultivators can be found.
This feeling is as if the previous information he received was all fake.
However, it is a good thing for him because he doesn’t want chaos in Misty Cloud City. Being able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm in peace is the best situation. Who wants to be trapped in a war?
People in troubled times are worse than dogs. This is not a casual saying, but a well-known truth.
“Regardless of whether the Ghost Demon Sect plans to attack Misty Cloud City or not, I need to dig a tunnel and prepare a way out.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
In truth, the one with the most changes in these three months was the Gold Eating Bug.
After entering the Red Gold Mine, the Gold Eating Bug began to lay eggs in the mine, eating Red Gold every day.
This has allowed its cultivation to experience an exponential growth, reaching the state of First-grade Superior.
Originally, these Red Gold mines were the properties of the Immortal Mist Sect, extremely valuable.
But now, it has been quietly consumed by the Gold Eating Bug.
Perhaps, when the cultivators of the Immortal Mist Sect dig their way to the deepest part, they will find to their shock that the Red Gold mine has shrunk noticeably, nowhere as large as they’d imagined.
The Red Gold Mine is the best dining room for the Gold Eating Bug.
Eat after waking up, sleep after eating.
This is the Gold Eating Bug’s best life in the Red Gold Mine.
Up until now, the Gold Eating mother bug has already bred two hundred Gold Eating Bugs. They could form a small Gold Eating Bug army, capable of suddenly radiating incredible power.
Normal Late Qi Cultivation cultivators, if they encountered the Gold Eating Bug army, would be doomed.
“Let’s bring back a hundred Gold Eating Bugs first. With these Gold Eating Bugs, we can definitely dig a tunnel to other places.” Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
He was aware of the Gold Eating Bug’s extremely powerful digging ability. It only takes a few days to dig a underground tunnel tens of kilometers long, like a naturally born tunnel-digging beast.
At the same time, they could devour the soil, use it as food. Additionally, he doesn’t need to worry about large amounts of soil appearing during the digging process causing other cultivators to know his plans..
