Chapter 117: With a Foundation Establishment Backer, Everyone is a Good Person

In the distance, the group from the Shen Family walked toward their own lodging spot.

"Ancestor, what do you think of that young man from just now? Does he have the same goal as our Shen Family? Is he a danger to our Shen Family?" Shen Wan asked their family's Foundation Establishment Ancestor respectfully.

"That young man is no simple character. He looks to be only twenty-one or twenty-two years old, yet he is already a Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator. He must have at least the aptitude of a Superior Spiritual Root."

Shen Family Ancestor Shen Sheng said quietly, "Of course, this young man doesn't amount to much. The truly formidable one is that Senior from the Zhou Family deep in the valley; that person is likely a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator."

What?!

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the many Shen Family Cultivators changed drastically.

They knew exactly what the concept of Foundation Establishment Perfection meant. Even their own Ancestor was only at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage so far, and he was an unknown distance away from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Without some special encounter, the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage was basically the limit for this lifetime.

Yet that mysterious Zhou Family Cultivator was a Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection.

Wouldn't that mean they had already touched the threshold of the Golden Core realm?!

"Ancestor, why would such a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator enter the Cloud Mist Mountain Range? Could it be that, just like us, they have found a Golden Core Cave Abode?"

Shen Wan was startled.

The reason they had arrived in the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range was naturally not just for the monster beast and Spirit Medicine resources of this mountain range, but also because they had discovered a Golden Core Relic Cave Abode.

But breaking the Forbidden Array of this relic Cave Abode was simply too difficult.

Therefore, they had joined forces with the Xiao Family and the Mu Family, and after over a decade of joint efforts to break it, they were recently nearing the end.

He did not want any accidents to happen at this time.

"Foolish, how could there be such a coincidence? Our three great families have kept this matter strictly confidential; how could it be known to outsiders?"

"Although Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivators are extremely rare, they are not non-existent."

"The high probability is that they want to come to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt Second-tier Monster Beasts to refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Regardless, we should just treat them with a normal mindset and not let the other party detect any flaws."

"Just act as if we are also a Cultivator family that entered the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to hunt monster beasts."

"If there are any resources, we can also exchange them with the other party."

Shen Family Ancestor Shen Sheng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Ancestor."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

…………

Following the departure of the Shen Family Cultivators, the nearby Xiao Family, Mu Family, and other Cultivators also came to visit Zhou Sui and the others.

They seemed to be Cultivator families that had stayed in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for a long time, and they knew the Cloud Mist Mountain Range like the back of their hands.

Zhou Sui also came out to receive them and obtained quite a bit of intelligence regarding the Cloud Mist Mountain Range from them.

For example, the distribution of monster beasts, the locations of Spirit Medicines, which places were relatively dangerous, and so on.

In short, after several contacts, he also benefited a great deal.

"Husband, these Foundation Establishment family Cultivators are truly kind."

Mu Ziyan said with much emotion.

Clearly, when these Cultivators came to visit, they also brought many gifts with them.

Every one of them was amiable and pleasant.

It was simply completely different from the fierce and malicious sect Cultivators and family Cultivators in Miyun City; they were two entirely different faces.

Having been a Loose Cultivator for so long, this was her first time encountering such kind Cultivators.

The Cultivators she had met before were either there to rob her or to raise the rent.

"Kind my foot. It's all for the sake of Senior Leng. When you become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, you will find that everyone around you is basically a good person."

Zhou Sui said with annoyance.

How could he not understand why these Cultivator families had such a major change in attitude? It was nothing more than for the sake of Leng Yuexi, a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.

If they didn't have Leng Yuexi backing them, they would likely have a completely different face.

They might even suddenly attack, kill, and seize treasures; they wouldn't be speaking so nicely at all.

Of course, this feeling also made him feel very pleased.

Having a Foundation Establishment Cultivator backing him, with every Cultivator bowing and scraping before him—this sense of security was simply indescribable.

In short, it was one word: awesome.

"Indeed, facing a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator, if one doesn't speak nicely, that is purely seeking one's own death. It is all thanks to Senior Leng's face."

Ji Bingyu also nodded in agreement with this point.

She could also be considered to have seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

If one has a Foundation Establishment Cultivator standing behind them, then it will have a completely different effect.

Everyone will be respectful to you, or at the very least, give you some face.

The weight of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is truly too heavy; even within a sect, they are considered absolute core strength.

They are already qualified to become sect Elders.

Even a Loose Cultivator who reaches Foundation Establishment will be warmly invited by sects to become an honored guest.

Thinking of this, she became even more eager to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Once she becomes a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her strength, status, and lifespan will all undergo earth-shaking changes.

"We still need to be a little careful. These Cultivators only look kind; who knows what kind of schemes they have behind their backs."

Xia Jingyan felt that they still needed to be vigilant and not be deceived by these family Cultivators.

"Don't worry about them; we are just here in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range to cultivate."

Zhou Sui made up his mind that he would just stay in this valley and cultivate with peace of mind; as for whatever schemes these Cultivator families had, it had nothing much to do with him.

Of course, one must also be wary of the many powerful Monster Beasts in the depths of the mountain range.

If one were to accidentally provoke a Third-tier Monster Beast, then one would likely be completely done for.

Fortunately, this place is still a great distance away from the lair of any Third-tier Monster Beast.

Otherwise, he would need to consider moving house.

"Very well, husband."

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan all nodded; having stayed with Zhou Sui for such a long time, they had naturally learned to be cautious.

To show courtesy for no reason is to harbor evil or theft.

As long as one cannot be bothered to pay attention to the hooks cast by the other party, one will naturally remain in an invincible position.

"Let's explore the surrounding environment first."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui moved his mind, releasing the six clones on his person, as well as hundreds of Gold-Eating Insects, to roam in all directions.

Although he had obtained quite a bit of intelligence from those Cultivator families, who knew if it was true or false.

Regardless, he needed to go see for himself to confirm the veracity of this intelligence.

Of course, this did not require his true body to set out; having his clones investigate the intelligence was perfectly sufficient.

Late at night.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Sui once again engaged in Dual Cultivation, working hard at the plowing.

His wives and concubines were also satisfied, their faces glowing with a rosy flush, in a state of joy and harmony.

…………

"This bastard is at it again."

Beside them, Leng Yuexi, who was in the middle of closed-door cultivation, had a flushed face; upon hearing such sounds, she was instantly overcome with shame and annoyance.

But there was nothing to be done; who told her that this man was her benefactor who had saved her life.

Moreover, this was normal behavior between Dao Companions, so what right did she have to criticize it.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to add another layer of Soundproof Barrier, choosing to ignore what she could not see.

However, the restlessness in her heart could not be calmed for a long time.
