Chapter 115: Building a Stone House, Cultivators of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range

Several more days passed.

The valley had basically been fully arranged by Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, Leng Yuexi, and the others.

The entire valley was set up with a First-tier Defensive Array, a Spirit Gathering Array, an illusion array, an offensive array, and so on; even if a First-tier Monster Beast broke in, it would be annihilated by the arrays.

Inside the valley, a massive stone house had also appeared, containing at least seven or eight rooms.

For cultivators, building a stone house is the most convenient method.

Because one only needs to stack large stones one by one and then reinforce them with techniques, there is no need to lay a foundation at all, and a perfect stone house can be built rapidly.

Although it looks crude, it can be considered a temporary shelter from the wind and rain.

After a week of repairs, this temporary residence could be considered to have taken shape.

As for those Monster Beasts that attempted to break into the valley, they were slain one by one by Leng Yuexi, demonstrating the might of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This also caused the meat reserves to increase significantly.

……

At this very moment, inside the master bedroom of the stone house.

The room was filled with the brightness of spring, as if spring had arrived.

Zhou Sui and his three Dao Companions were embracing, surrounded by vast Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi that formed a vortex; clearly, the results of this Dual Cultivation were quite good, and everyone was happy.

Ever since they left the Underground Shelter, they had also resumed life on the surface.

Everyone felt very joyful.

After all, humans are creatures that belong to the surface; even if they hid underground for the sake of safety, that was merely a last resort.

They still preferred a life with sunlight.

It was precisely because of this that the long-lost surface life made the battle in the stone house even more hearty and unrestrained.

"Husband, your physique is truly becoming more and more formidable."

Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with eyes as alluring as silk.

It must be said that ever since the birth of the Dragon Elephant Gu, Zhou Sui would receive a wisp of Dragon Elephant blood energy tempering every month, which caused his physique to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As time passed, his strength, speed, and endurance were all more powerful than those of ordinary Body Cultivators.

It was as if the Dragon Elephant Power was awakening within his body.

And the result of this was naturally that he became increasingly vigorous.

"Your physiques have also improved quite a bit during this period; the Blood-Qi within your bodies should be nearly perfected by now, right?"

Zhou Sui stroked their skin, which felt like satin.

In fact, it was not just his own physique that had improved; the three Dao Companions were the same.

During Dual Cultivation, these wisps of mysterious blood energy would also pass through his own body and surge into the bodies of his three Dao Companions to circulate.

In this way, their physiques also received corresponding strengthening.

Although the extent of the improvement could not compare to his own, it was still far stronger than that of ordinary Body Cultivators.

"That's right, I feel that my current strength and stamina have increased quite a bit; my Blood-Qi has reached the realm of perfection, and even the Pill toxins in my body have been completely expelled; I have basically reached the state of Blood-Qi perfection."

Mu Ziyan nodded.

Originally, when they practiced, they had also consumed many pills, leaving behind Pill toxins in their bodies.

But every time Dual Cultivation ended, their bodies would expel wisps of black sludge; these were the impurities within their bodies.

Originally, these impurities were difficult to eradicate.

But now, due to the power of Dual Cultivation, the impurities and Pill toxins in their bodies were becoming fewer and fewer.

It was as if their current bodies had returned to an Innate Body.

They also felt their bodies becoming increasingly relaxed and light.

"To be honest, we have now basically reached the perfection of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer; with Blood-Qi perfected, Dharma Power perfected, and Spiritual Sense perfected, we can all attempt Foundation Establishment."

Xia Jingyan said with great joy.

Truth be told, several years ago she never expected that she would be able to attempt Foundation Establishment so soon.

But ever since she was with Zhou Sui, her cultivation had progressed rapidly; the Blood-Qi Barrier, Mana Barrier, and Spiritual Sense Barrier had all reached the realm of perfection.

With such a solid foundation, even a True Disciple of a sect would likely be no better than this.

"If that's the case, you are only lacking a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Don't worry, we have come to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, where a large number of Second-tier Monster Beasts live."

"With the help of Senior Leng, we will certainly be able to obtain a few Second-tier Monster Cores."

"By then, I will be able to help you refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

"Thank you, Husband."

Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Mu Ziyan all looked at Zhou Sui with love, their hearts filled with affection.

They were deeply moved.

Generally, after a cultivator refines a Foundation Establishment Pill, they use it for themselves.

Only after they successfully promote to Foundation Establishment would they potentially let their Dao Companion use one; this is human nature.

Where would one find a husband who lets his wife undergo Foundation Establishment before he has succeeded himself?

This must be because their husband loves them very much to make such a choice.

Thinking of this, the love in their hearts grew even more intense, almost to the point of overflowing.

"Hmm?!"

Suddenly, Zhou Sui's heart stirred; he sensed that the array covering the valley had fluctuated, as if several auras were flying rapidly from afar and had arrived before the valley entrance.

But those auras stopped, as if they were wary of something and dared not act rashly.

"Husband, there are Cultivators coming from outside."

Xia Jingyan said in a deep voice; clearly, she had also sensed the four or five auras outside, one of which had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, which must be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Fortunately, there was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator here, otherwise, things might have been troublesome this time.

Zhou Sui actually had a premonition as well.

Although the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was indeed sparsely populated, it did not mean there were no Cultivators.

In fact, a large number of Monster Beasts lived in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and it was also a place with quite abundant resources.

As long as one could survive, the harvest would certainly be quite enormous.

This also led to many powerful Cultivators venturing deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, hoping to obtain a huge harvest.

Therefore, anyone who appeared here was not simple and could not be underestimated.

"Let's go out and take a look first."

With a thought, Zhou Sui immediately had one of his clones go out in his place.

After all, the enemy's intentions were unclear; wouldn't it be risky to have his true body go out?!

By having a clone go out, even if they encountered danger, there would still be room to maneuver.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a clone transformed into the appearance of Zhou Sui and arrived alone at the entrance of the valley.

Immediately, he saw five Cultivators appear in front of the valley gate: one old man and four youths.

Among them, the old man wearing a white robe was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the other four were also in their twenties or thirties, all of them being Cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage, at least at the Qi Refining Seventh or Eighth Layer; their cultivation was quite extraordinary.

"I wonder for what reason you fellow Daoists have come?"

Zhou Sui stood calmly and composed in front of these Cultivators and asked.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am the Shen Family Cultivator Shen Wan, and these few are my brothers from the clan. This is our Shen Family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor, Shen Sheng. We came this time because we sensed a fellow practitioner arriving nearby, so we wanted to come over to greet you; please do not take offense, fellow Daoist."

The one speaking was a middle-aged Cultivator, and his name was Shen Wan.
