Chapter 102: Hoarding Rare Goods: I Am the Lü Buwei of the Cultivation World

"Damn your grandfather, which turtle-grandson robbed the Lu Family treasury? They didn't even leave a single hair behind."

At this very moment, a Cultivator entered the Lu Family mansion and immediately began cursing, feeling thoroughly disgusted.

They had originally thought that since Miyun City had been breached, they could enter the Lu Family mansion and loot it to their heart's content.

But who could have imagined that after arriving at the Lu mansion, they would find the place already empty.

Even inside the treasury, not a single thing remained.

It was even more terrifying than a rat entering a granary.

"Not only did they not leave any Treasure, but the entire Lu mansion was burned down. Which bastard is so hateful? They didn't even leave us a drop of soup."

Another Cultivator gritted their teeth, filled with resentment.

They were among the first Cultivators to arrive at the Lu mansion, yet they still couldn't compare to that mysterious Cultivator who had arrived so much earlier and scoured the entire Lu mansion of its Treasures.

This left them returning empty-handed.

"I actually think it might not have been an outside Cultivator; perhaps it was the Lu Family staging it themselves."

However, someone else felt this was not the case, their eyes flashing with a sharp glint: "Miyun City has just been breached, everyone else is busy fleeing for their lives; who has the heart to attack the Lu mansion?

At that time, the Lu mansion was fully armed and had so many Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators; unless a Foundation Establishment Cultivator personally took action, it would be impossible to kill so many Lu Family Elders in such a short time.

The problem is, there are only so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and it's impossible for them to have reached the Lu mansion. Ordinary Cultivators are no match for the Lu Family, so I think there is a high probability that this was staged by the Lu Family themselves.

Their goal is to make us mistakenly believe that the Lu Family suffered a disaster and the Treasures were already snatched by other Loose Cultivators, but in fact, they had long since secretly taken the Treasures away."

Once these words were spoken, the many Cultivators suddenly realized, understanding everything in an instant.

No one was a fool; they immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

"So that's how it is. I was just saying, how could anyone be faster than us?"

"It must be the Lu Family staging this, faking a scene of being robbed and killed, while actually having long since ordered the Lu Family descendants to run off with the Treasures."

"This is a bitter-meat trick played by the Lu Family. As expected of a century-old family, they are truly full of schemes."

"Find the remaining Lu Family descendants immediately. The Lu Family Treasures must be on them. We absolutely cannot let them escape."

"Damn it, I almost fell for it. The people of the Lu Family are truly sinister and cunning."

The many Cultivators discussed it heatedly and cursed loudly.

They also felt this deduction was far too logical. Even if there really were outside Cultivators, it was highly unlikely they could be a match for the Lu Family Elders, and their speed couldn't possibly be this fast.

Therefore, other than the Lu Family staging it themselves, there was basically no other possibility.

Immediately, many Cultivators began to scatter to search for Lu Family Cultivators, hoping to find the Treasures left behind by the Lu Family.

…………

At this very moment, Zhou Sui, staying in the Underground Shelter, was happily sensing everything happening in Miyun City.

The entire city was now in extreme chaos.

Xianxia Sect Cultivators, Youmo Sect Cultivators, Cultivators from various great families, and Loose Cultivators were all mixed together in a chaotic battle.

Tragic battles were breaking out everywhere.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Zhou Sui; he could watch the fire from across the river without getting burned himself.

He only needed to wait quietly for this turmoil to end.

This was also due to his foresight in building the Underground Shelter in advance.

If he hadn't been able to build the Underground Shelter, perhaps he would be just like these Cultivators, forced to join the ranks of the fleeing, terrified of being discovered by Youmo Sect Cultivators.

"Hmm?!"

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's heart stirred. One of his clones sensed a beautiful, graceful figure suddenly flying out of the Lu mansion silently, then appearing in a nearby dark alley, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to leave.

This figure was suffused with a powerful aura, clearly transcending the Qi Refining stage and having already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But the aura on their body was flickering, as if it were about to extinguish at any moment.

"What's going on? Could there be a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Miyun City?"

"Right, it seems there is another Foundation Establishment Cultivator in Miyun City, but they are from the Xianxia Sect."

"Could it be the Young Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect, Leng Yuexi? But why does this woman look like she's in such a bad state?"

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He immediately recalled the many pieces of intelligence he had obtained; there were only two major Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the entire Miyun City.

One was the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Hongran.

The other was the Xianxia Sect Young Sect Master, Leng Yuexi.

But Lu Hongran had just been fighting for his life against those Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators, and the battle was not yet over, so the outcome was unclear.

And as for this Leng Yuexi, she should also be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

However, she was not fighting alongside Lu Hongran, which clearly meant there was a problem with her body.

Otherwise, if Leng Yuexi joined the battle, this group of Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators might not have been able to hold out.

"Rumor has it that this woman was plotted against by Youmo Sect Cultivators, poisoned, and doesn't have long to live."

"Could this rumor be true?"

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a glint of light.

He had obtained this information from the memories of many Lu Family Cultivators.

He also knew some intelligence regarding Leng Yuexi.

This woman was indeed a genius; she had raised her cultivation to Foundation Establishment Perfection at only eighty years old.

She possessed a First Grade Spiritual Root.

She was only one step away from ascending to the Golden Core.

If she hadn't been plotted against by the Youmo Sect, she would likely be a Golden Core True Person by now.

"An opportunity. This seems to be an opportunity."

"If I were to plant an Infatuation Gu on this woman, wouldn't that be equivalent to gaining a Foundation Establishment Dao Companion?"

"When the time comes, what Foundation Establishment Pill, what Second Rank Beast Core, wouldn't they all be within my grasp?"

"Moreover, the other party is merely poisoned, not on the verge of death."

"If I can resolve the potent poison on her, I could gain a complete Foundation Establishment combat force."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's heart immediately began to race; he felt that perhaps this was his true opportunity.

What rubbish Lu Family wealth; how could it compare to this woman?

She is the Young Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect, a fairy from a righteous sect, and the future Sect Master of the Xianxia Sect.

If one were to marry her, it would be equivalent to receiving the entire Xianxia Sect as a dowry.

Once those two old undying Golden Core cultivators of the Xianxia Sect kick the bucket, the Xianxia Sect would belong to him.

Although he felt very indignant about the actions of the Xianxia Sect and even wished to destroy it, if given the chance to take control of the Xianxia Sect, who wouldn't be willing?

It is just like in his past life, where everyone cursed companies like Tencent and Alibaba, calling them vampires.

But if they could hold the real power of these companies and own the majority of the shares, it would be a completely different story.

The cursing is merely because they cannot obtain it.

"A rare commodity to be hoarded, truly a rare commodity to be hoarded."

Zhou Sui felt that he was simply the Lü Buwei of the Immortal Cultivation World.

In the past, Lü Buwei relied on sponsoring Qin Shi Huang, and as a result, rose from a merchant to become the Chancellor of the Qin State.

His status underwent a massive leap.

And now for him, by relying on the Xianxia Sect Young Sect Master Leng Yuexi, he could become a Supreme Elder of the Xianxia Sect.

If this isn't a legend, then what is?

Who says those with a Lower Grade Spirit Root cannot join a Golden Core sect? Isn't it enough to just marry a beautiful Sect Master?!
