Chapter 112: Second-tier High-grade Spirit Vein, Settling in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range

One month later.

Because one hundred Gold-Eating Insects had been digging day and night for a full month, they finally opened up an underground tunnel reaching several hundred miles into the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Thus, Zhou Sui, Mu Ziyan, Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Leng Yuexi passed through this underground tunnel to quickly leave Miyun City and evade the pursuit of the Youmo Sect cultivators.

After spending a day or two, they finally arrived in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

At the same time, he also ordered the Gold-Eating Insects to bury that underground tunnel.

In this way, even if someone discovered traces of the underground tunnel, they would be unable to find him through it.

It could be said that only now had he finally escaped the threat of the Youmo Sect.

There was no longer any need to worry about this Demonic Sect being detrimental to him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Suddenly, Zhou Sui and the others walked out from the tunnel, and they discovered that they had arrived in a valley surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, unable to see clearly beyond ten zhang.

"Husband, is this the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?"

Ji Bingyu looked around curiously; it was her first time seeing such an unfamiliar environment.

"That's right."

Zhou Sui nodded: "The Cloud Mist Mountain Range is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The deeper one goes, the thicker the mist becomes, and the naked eye can barely distinguish objects beyond ten zhang.

Sometimes there are even poisonous gases and miasma entwined within the mist; if an ordinary Cultivator is not careful, they will inhale the poisonous gas and die from the poison.

What is even more terrifying is that a large number of Monster Beasts live within the mountain range, and one must be careful at all times of attacks from other Monster Beasts, so Cultivators basically dare not venture deep into the mountain range."

To tell the truth, the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is simply too dangerous.

Not only does it harbor a large number of powerful Monster Beasts, but there are also large amounts of poisonous mist and gas; for ordinary Cultivators to venture deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is basically a nine-to-one chance of death.

It was only because he utilized the power of the Gold-Eating Insects to travel underground.

That he avoided the attacks of a large number of Monster Beasts.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range so easily.

Of course, this also proves the safety of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Even if the Youmo Sect army were to invade the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they would suffer heavy casualties.

This is also a natural barrier.

"Husband, there seems to be a Second-tier High-grade Spirit Vein here."

Xia Jingyan said happily.

She could perceive that this place was permeated with rich Spirit Qi of heaven and earth, which was very suitable for them to cultivate.

One must know that if it were in the outside world, basically every Spirit Vein is occupied by Cultivators.

There are almost no ownerless Spirit Veins.

Among them, First-tier Spirit Veins are suitable for Qi Refining Cultivators, Second-tier Spirit Veins are suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and Third-tier Spirit Veins are suitable for Golden Core Cultivators.

Basically, those Golden Core sects all occupy a Third-tier Spirit Vein.

If one cultivates near a Spirit Vein, the efficiency is at least several times, or even more than ten times, that of other places.

In the past, Miyun City was situated on a Second-tier Spirit Vein, which is why it attracted so many Loose Cultivators to come and live there.

In fact, Zhou Sui also used the power of the Gold-Eating Insects to detect that there was a Second-tier High-grade Spirit Vein here, which is why he decided to stay in this place.

To treat this place as a temporary foothold.

"Husband, are we going to live here for a period of time?"

Mu Ziyan asked curiously.

"That's right, that is indeed my plan."

"This is the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, so there is no need to worry about the Youmo Sect cultivators."

"At the same time, there is a Second-tier Spirit Vein, which is also very suitable for our cultivation, even up to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Moreover, we are not short of food; a large number of Monster Beasts live here, so we can completely hunt Monster Beasts to obtain meat."

"We can also plant Spirit Rice here to harvest grain, completely achieving self-sufficiency."

Zhou Sui stated his plan.

To tell the truth, he was really a bit fed up with living under someone else's roof and fed up with being a tenant for others.

Fed up with being blackmailed and extorted by others.

He still wanted to possess a place of his own so that he would not need to look at others' expressions.

Although this place is sparsely populated and very desolate.

It is, however, very suitable for him to lay low and develop.

He is not short of Spirit Stones, Pills, inheritances, and other such things at all; after obtaining the lifelong wealth of the Lu Family, he is already very wealthy, basically lacking nothing, and does not need to trade anything with other Cultivators.

Therefore, he can completely stay in this place until he becomes a Foundation Establishment Cultivator before leaving.

"That is indeed good; I can build a Spirit-Gathering Array here to gather the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth to facilitate our cultivation."

"At the same time, I can also build a Defense Array to guard against attacks from Monster Beasts."

Xia Jingyan said excitedly.

She had already thought about how to build arrays in the vicinity to turn this place into their lair.

"Mm, we can also build wooden houses in this valley; this will be our home in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."

Mu Ziyan also nodded.

"Let's go look around first and hunt all the Monster Beasts in the vicinity to prevent them from sneaking into our base at night," Leng Yuexi said.

After a month of recuperation, she had already recovered a portion of her power as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Although she had not yet recovered to her peak period, her combat power was comparable to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Even if she encountered a Second-tier Monster Beast, she would be completely unafraid.

"I will prepare dinner for you all, just to celebrate us leaving Miyun City and escaping alive."

Ji Bingyu smiled slightly.

"Not bad."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied, seeing that each of his women took the initiative to step forward and take on tasks: one to build an Array Formation, one to construct houses, one to clear out Monster Beasts, and one to prepare dinner.

As for him, his main task was to be responsible for overall planning, increasing his cultivation, and enjoying the food.

It is better to have more Dao Companions.

…………

Just shortly after Zhou Sui and the others left Miyun City, changes also occurred in Miyun City.

"What did you say? The Xianxia Sect has united with the Qingmu Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect to launch an attack on our Youmo Sect?"

A Foundation Establishment Elder's expression changed drastically; he had not expected such a turn of events to occur.

"That is correct."

A Disciple's face revealed a look of terror: "Just as our Youmo Sect's Golden Core True Person was attempting to ambush the Xianxia Sect, we did not expect the Golden Core Elders of the Qingmu Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect to strike, severely wounding the Sect Master and two Golden Core Supreme Elders.

Over the past two years, the Xianxia Sect has not been doing nothing, but has been secretly uniting with other sects, intending to teach our Youmo Sect a profound lesson.

Yet we did not notice anything at all, while the three major sects have united; now the Sect Master demands we retreat immediately and return to the Youmo Sect quickly, otherwise we will certainly be left behind here."

"Bastards, the despicable Xianxia Sect, the shameless righteous sects; they clearly promised to stand by and watch, yet they went back on their word—they are simply more fickle than even our Demon Sect."

That Foundation Establishment Elder was furious.

He had originally thought that the Youmo Sect had already reached an agreement with the other sects to stand by and watch as neutrals.

But who could have imagined that the other side would go back on their word and betray their original promise?

This has caused the Youmo Sect to suffer heavy losses and be attacked from both sides.
