Chapter 11: Eliminating Future Troubles, Zhou Sui Has Come Back from the Dead?!

Outside Miyun City, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At this moment, Liu Dong and three Loose Cultivators beside him appeared in the depths of the mountain range; they were all Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivators, which could be considered as having a certain degree of self-preservation power in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

"Are you sure you found a hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine, Golden Thorn Grass?"

Liu Dong could not help but ask.

"Of course."

A middle-aged Cultivator with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks nodded: "I would absolutely never deceive you all. We are all friends of many years. Previously, I was hunted by Monster Beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range and accidentally arrived at a valley, where I discovered that hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine."

"The pity is that the hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine is guarded by several First-grade Low-grade Monster Beasts. I was completely no match for them and could not get close at all, which is why I invited you fellow Daoists to go together."

"I believe you all know the value of a hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine; even a single stalk is worth over a thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones. If we add the carcasses of those few Monster Beasts, this harvest will be at least two or three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones. Even if the four of us split it, we can still get quite a lot."

He swore to the heavens, indicating that everything he said was true and that there was absolutely not half a lie.

"Not bad. If this matter is true, then when the time comes, there will definitely be a share for you."

Hearing this, Liu Dong immediately felt relieved. The other party was also a fellow Daoist he had known for many years; although he was not very reliable in his daily dealings, at least he would not lie.

Moreover, they knew each other's roots and bottom lines, so he figured the other party would not dare to deceive him.

He thought that if this time was successful, he could earn at least several hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, and then he would be able to purchase Pills to allow his cultivation to break through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.

This was a matter concerning his own path to Foundation Establishment; it could not be allowed to fail.

However, at this moment, he also recalled Zhou Sui, the son of his former friend, and his expression immediately darkened.

If it weren't for that pretty boy hooking up with a Qi Refining Ninth Layer female Cultivator, that house would have been his long ago.

Then he would have been able to cultivate safely in Miyun City until the Qi Refining Ninth Layer; where would he need to risk his life outside the city?

It has been about a month now; that brat Zhou Sui should have long been drained into a husk by that Black Widow, right?

"Oh no, enemy attack!"

Suddenly, while Liu Dong was still daydreaming, his whole body trembled and his hair stood on end as he felt a fatal killing intent strike; this was the instinct of a Loose Cultivator.

From the corner of his eye, he saw four silver sword lights appear in the distance, incomparably fast, containing terrifying Geng Metal Power, indestructible.

At this moment, he felt a fatal crisis and wanted to dodge.

The pity was that this sword light was simply too fast, too fast; even with his cultivation, he could not dodge it.

Boom~~~

In an instant, his head was pierced through by this sword light, and his entire head shattered like a watermelon, falling apart, dripping with blood; he died without even being able to let out a scream.

Even before he died, he did not see who exactly had killed him.

It was just that when he was dying, Liu Dong was incomparably regretful; had he known the area outside the city was so dangerous, he would never have come out even if it killed him.

The pity was that it was too late to say anything now.

It was not just Liu Dong; the other three Loose Cultivators were the same, killed by a single sword strike, instantly falling to the ground and dying.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!

Not long after, three graceful figures walked out from the jungle; they were Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan.

"Sister, I haven't seen you make a move in a month, and I haven't even seen you practice much, so how is it that your sword Qi is even more powerful than before? Four Qi Refining Seventh Layer Cultivators were actually killed in one strike; it's truly too amazing."

Mu Ziyan looked at Ji Bingyu with immense admiration.

"Indeed, the power of this sword strike vaguely has the air of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

Xia Jingyan also felt very surprised; it was not that she had never seen a Sword Cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, but this was her first time seeing such a terrifying Qi Refining stage Sword Cultivator like Ji Bingyu.

The previous Ji Bingyu was still within a reasonable range, but now, she was more than twice as strong as she was a month ago.

The problem was, didn't this woman spend every night in revelry, indulging in matters between men and women?

How could she be so much stronger after not seeing her for a month?

She was simply filled with doubts.

"I'm not sure either. After being with my husband, I always feel that my Soul power has grown quite a bit, even allowing me to give birth to the Spiritual Sense of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Ji Bingyu smiled slightly: "It is precisely because of this that my Sword Dao realm seems to have advanced by leaps and bounds, and I have already reached the realm of 'Autumn Wind Precedes the Cicada'."

At this moment, she also recalled the things that happened this month, her pretty face turning red.

Having only left for a short while, it seemed she was already thinking of her husband again.

It was truly a case of 'not seeing each other for a moment feels like three autumns'.

However, her main purpose for coming out this time was to deal with this Liu Dong, this villain who once wanted to harm her husband; if she didn't get rid of him, she simply couldn't sleep at night.

"There's such a thing?!"

Xia Jingyan was astonished. Could it be that Dual Cultivation really could make one's cultivation improve so quickly? Or was it that that man had some special quality that allowed a female Cultivator's cultivation to progress?

If it were the latter, then this man's value was not simple.

She fell into deep thought.

"Alright, let's continue deeper into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, harvest the Spirit Medicine inside, and then return to Miyun City." Ji Bingyu was already impatient to return to Miyun City; even if she didn't see him for a short while, she felt she was about to come down with lovesickness and felt incomparably uncomfortable.

"Fine."

Xia Jingyan was very helpless; she nimbly took the Storage Bags left behind by Liu Dong and the other Cultivators. As for their corpses, Monster Beasts would soon come to eat them.

For the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, such slaughter was long since a common sight; no one would take it to heart.

…………

On the other hand, Zhou Sui also began to head out.

After all, he had stayed at home for a month, which could be considered 'restless after long stillness'. Of course, the most important thing was that he had to go to nearby shops to look for materials to refine Gu Insects.

"Zhou Sui, you're not dead yet?"

Just as Zhou Sui had stepped out, a middle-aged Cultivator from the neighbor's house could not help but exclaim. His name was Zhang Cheng, a First-grade Low-grade Pill refiner, Qi Refining Level 6, forty-five years old.

He could also be considered a neighbor of the Zhou Family for many years.

"Dead? Why would I be dead?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui's mouth twitched, and he looked at the other person, speechless.

"Ahem, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought that since you hadn't stepped out for a month, perhaps something had happened to you."

Zhang Cheng's expression was extremely awkward, and he hurriedly tried to gloss over it.

After all, he had assumed that since Zhou Sui hadn't appeared for such a long time, he had long since been drained dry by that Black Widow, to the point where he hadn't shown up for a month and his corpse would have already gone cold.

So when he saw Zhou Sui suddenly step out, he thought Zhou Sui had become a reanimated corpse, or perhaps even turned into a vengeful spirit, wanting to find that Black Widow to exact revenge.

Who could have imagined that this kid would actually still be full of life; it was truly inconceivable.
