“Spiritual Wine sure is effective.”
Zhou Sui was savoring the feeling of breaking through to the eighth layer of Qi
Cultivation. He had previously reached the perfect state of Qi Cultivation
Seventh Layer, and it was with the power of the Spiritual Wine that he managed to make the final breakthrough.
One could say that Spiritual Wine is even more useful than most pills.
After all, there’s always the risk of poison from pills.
If one consumes too many pills, the body will accumulate poison, leading to a resistance against the pills.
Therefore, one cannot take too many of the same kind of pills, otherwise their effectiveness will diminish more and more.
But Spiritual Wine is different.
After consuming Spiritual Wine, there are hardly any side effects, and it can
perfectly transform into pure energy.
That’s why it’s a popular auxiliary spirit item among many Cultivators.
Its importance can compete with Spirit Stone.
It could even directly replace Spirit Stones.
However, brewing Spiritual Wine isn’t an easy task; it’s extremely costly.
Which results in the available quantity of Spiritual Wine on the market being relatively scarce, with only a select few Cultivators being able to consume it.
For Zhou Sui to obtain something like the Wine Bug, a Heavenly Earthly Wondrous Insect that can transform ordinary wine into Spiritual Wine, it’s truly a capability that defies the laws of nature and is absolutely unthinkable. Even now, he doesn’t know how the Wine Bug accomplishes this. It’s like creating something out of nothing, or turning stone into gold.
But he doesn’t intend to try to understand it too deeply, treating this ability as
the Wine Bug’s natural gift.
After all, there many things in the world that are simply inexplicable, and this
is just one more to add to the list.
“If the first-grade Spiritual Wine is already this powerful, wouldn’t I take off if
I brewed second-grade Spiritual Wine?”
“The value of second-grade Spiritual Wine increases more than tenfold.”
Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.
As the Wine Bug’s level continues to rise, the grade of the Spiritual Wine it can ferment now has reached the level of first-grade superior.
But if he wants to brew second-grade Spiritual Wine, the Wine Bug would need to advance to the second stage.
For now, the Wine Bug shows no signs of advancing.
However, for him at his current state, first-grade Spiritual Wine is more than enough.
Whoosh!
With that thought, after consolidating his cultivation at the Qi Cultivation eighth layer, Zhou Sui walked out of his meditation room.
At this moment, Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Mu Ziyi had just finished preparing lunch. The table was laden with all kinds of dishes, various Spiritual Wines, and a variety of rare delicacies.
In the present circumstances of Misty Cloud City, this would be considered an extremely extravagant meal.
After all the food was scarce in Misty Cloud City, many cultivators were so poor that they were close to eating dirt, let alone feasting on meat and fish.
“My Lord, have you ascended to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation?!”
At this moment, Ji Bingyu sensed Zhou Sui’s energy and was immediately overjoyed.
“Haha, luckily enough, I smoothly broke through now that my cultivation has reached the peak.”
Zhou Sui modestly replied.
He had no choice but to be modest. He had consumed a lot of Spiritual Wine, pills, and had been assisted by his Dao companions, all of which consumed a lot of resources.
If he still couldn’t break through, he might as well kill himself with a block of tofu.
■■My Lord, you are really amazing. When I first met you, you were only at the first layer of Qi Cultivation. It’s been just a few years, but now you’re on the eighth layer.”
Xia Jingyan was full of emotion: “I’m afraid it won’t be long before your cultivation surpasses ours, and we can’t be of much help to you.”
Her feeling was complicated.
Although her own cultivation had basically reached the perfect state of the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation, when compared to her Lord’s progress, she seemed to progress at a snail s pace.
If things continue like this, her Lord might already reach Foundation Establishment, while she would still be stuck on the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“What ‘help’? We’re companions on this path. Regardless of need or not, you
are all my wives.”
-Did you assist me before expecting something in return?”
-Previously, it was you who helped me cross difficult paths. From now on, I will be the one helping you.”
“From now on, not only will we work towards foundation establishment and core formation, we will also ascend to becoming immortals together, becoming a divine couple.”
Zhou Sui said with absolute conviction. He didn’t hesitate to paint a vivid picture of the future for his three companions.
It was an instinctive reaction.
“My husband.”
Upon hearing his words, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan looked at Zhou Sui with tear-filled eyes. Deep within their hearts, a warmth kindled, much like being bathed in the light of the sun.
Indeed, their husband was not only capable of sharing hardships but also wealth.
Had it been other men, they would perhaps abandon their wives during difficult times.
But now, their husband was even thinking about taking them along his journey to becoming an immortal.
The love they felt for Zhou Sui was intensifying, and they could hardly control
it.
What?!
At this moment, Zhou Sui immediately felt the Obsession Gu on him let out a comfortable hum as a mysterious energy flowed into its body. Its aura visibly grew stronger at a rapid pace.
Boom—
Suddenly, the power of the Obsession Gu seemed to have grown much stronger than before, moving from the lower tier of the second stage up to the middle tier of the second stage.
“What’s happening?!”
Zhou Sui blinked his eyes. He discovered a refreshing aura flowing from the Obsession Gu into his body, circulating all over.
At that moment, it seemed his physical state and appearance had become even more perfect.
If before he was of average appearance, easily lost in a crowd.
But now, he showed signs of evolving into a handsome man.
Even though his appearance had not drastically changed from before, subtle alterations made him more handsome, his charm increasing manifold.
“So that’s it. Is this also a kind of power from the Obsession Gu?!”
Zhou Sui sensed some information from the Obsession Gu. This was also one of its abilities, which could improve the host’s appearance and enhance the masculine charm.
If this power could be maximized, it could make any woman fall deeply in love with the host just by glancing at him.
It could turn the host into a figure rivalling a Casanova.
Every single movement would be filled with endless charm, causing people to develop a fondness for him.
Whether one admits it or not, a charming person can definitely walk smoothly in society.
Even if he went to the ends of the earth, he would still receive help from others. That’s the importance of charm.
“If just saying a few sweet words could excel the love from my companions and help in the evolution of the Obsession Gu, I need to say more of such words in the future.”
Zhou Sui instantly understood why the Obsession Gu had suddenly upgraded to a mid-class of the second stage. It must be profoundly linked to Xia Jingyan, Ji Bingyu, and Mu Ziyi.
Their love for Zhou Sui had grown deeper, indirectly enhancing the power and level of the Obsession Gu.
Both were mutually complementary.
“Ah, my dear, what are you… we haven’t even had dinner yet.
“Who needs dinner? I want to devour you first. You’re way more delicious than any meal.”
“You… you pervert! Shameless!”
Soon, the underground palace echoed with sounds of flirtatious love-making..
