Chapter 125: Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators Gather, Treated as Soft Persimmons

Not long after, the Shen Family cultivators departed.

Zhou Sui also took out many successfully refined Pills and Spirit Wine from his person to trade for the Spirit Medicine, various Monster Beast meat, and materials the other party had obtained from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

After all, due to the Dragon Elephant Gu, his appetite had increased significantly.

He needed to eat a large amount of Monster Beast meat every day.

For resources such as these, the more the better, naturally.

Anything he couldn't finish could be stored inside the Gu God Bowl; it wouldn't spoil anyway.

Currently, the first-tier and second-tier Monster Beast meat inside the Gu God Bowl was basically enough for him to eat for ten years.

Of course, as his cultivation level rose and his appetite increased, his food reserves might decrease slightly.

However, it was more than enough to handle the current situation.

"Husband, how did I do just now?"

Leng Yuexi blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Zhou Sui, seemingly seeking praise.

Because she knew her husband was not a person who liked to take risks, nor did he like to explore any ruins or Cave Abodes.

After all, no one knew what kind of dangers might exist within a Cave Abode.

The number of cultivators who died exploring Cave Abodes every year was simply countless.

Judging by the current cultivation situation, even without the Treasures inside a Cave Abode, one could still reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even the Golden Core Realm; why bother taking risks with others?

If one failed, that would mean death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

"Not bad. As for some Golden Core Cave Abode, who knows what dangers lie inside? Refusing was the right thing to do."

"If they truly obtain any Treasures from within, we can just trade for them later."

"There is no need to go over and take risks."

Zhou Sui nodded, very much appreciating Leng Yuexi's actions just now.

"However, Husband, the existence of a Golden Core Cave Abode nearby will surely attract more than just the Shen Family; there might be other Foundation Establishment families and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators present."

"Perhaps the Cloud Mist Mountain Range will no longer remain stable from here on out."

"It is possible that a large number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators will appear."

Leng Yuexi sensed this point.

Because the attraction of a Golden Core Cave Abode to Foundation Establishment Cultivators was enormous; if one could obtain the lifelong wealth of a Golden Core Cultivator, the value would be simply immeasurable.

Even if one didn't obtain any wealth, just acquiring the secret techniques and heritage of a Golden Core Cultivator would be a windfall.

After all, apart from sects like the Xianxia Sect, the heritage techniques obtained by other Loose Cultivators could at most allow them to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm; they were also incredibly eager to obtain techniques that led to the Golden Core Realm.

A Golden Core-level technique alone could be considered worth a king's ransom.

"I hope there won't be any major trouble during this time."

A sense of urgency welled up in Zhou Sui's heart; he hadn't expected that not long after leaving Miyun City, he would encounter such a crisis again.

He had originally thought he could cultivate peacefully for a period of time, but such trouble had appeared again.

Fortunately, his Dao Companion was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

With such a great Foundation Establishment Cultivator backing him, presumably those cultivators venturing deep into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range would also be wary of causing collateral damage.

As long as he waited for his few Dao Companions to successfully reach Foundation Establishment, then presumably it would be much safer here.

…………

Sure enough, just as Leng Yuexi had expected, the Shen Family's invitation campaign was not aimed solely at them; it seemed they had invited Foundation Establishment Cultivators from all over the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

For a time, the area became a hotbed of activity, and a large number of cultivators rushed over.

In just over ten days, the number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this area had increased by more than a dozen.

Shadows of unfamiliar cultivators appeared near the valley from time to time, occasionally spying on the reality of the valley.

But due to the prestige of Leng Yuexi as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, those unfamiliar cultivators did not dare to barge in at will.

Even so, being spied on at will by these unfamiliar cultivators made Zhou Sui feel very displeased.

He couldn't even cultivate with peace of mind.

After all, who knew if these daring Loose Cultivators would attack the Array Formation barrier of the Cave Abode?

If that happened and affected the Foundation Establishment of his three Dao Companions, that would be a major matter affecting their Dao path.

Such a thing was almost intolerable.

"Husband, these Loose Cultivators are becoming increasingly excessive; it seems a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator has set their sights on us."

Leng Yuexi's eyes revealed a Cold Glow; she could sense a trace of malice from the depths of the Darkness.

"If they want to explore the Golden Core Cave Abode, they can go explore it themselves; why come and look for trouble with us?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

"Husband, these cultivators should all be Loose Cultivators. Any cultivator who can become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator as a Loose Cultivator is a ruthless person; who knows how many murderous deeds they committed when they were young."

"Only by doing so could they quickly accumulate the wealth for Foundation Establishment."

"Even after they become Foundation Establishment Cultivators, such a personality cannot be changed."

"They are like jackals; when they see someone weak, they will rush up and take a bite."

"I reckon we have also been regarded as soft persimmons by these Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators."

Leng Yuexi said in a deep voice.

Clearly, although Leng Yuexi displayed the realm of Foundation Establishment Late Stage, among these Loose Cultivators, there were one or two who possessed Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation.

If one added a few Foundation Establishment Early Stage or even Foundation Establishment Mid-stage cultivators, then according to Leng Yuexi's estimation, she would likely be unable to withstand these people.

These Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators probably had the same thought, which was why they harbored evil intentions.

"The Shen Family isn't anything good either; they probably hold a grudge after being rejected by us."

"Even if they don't hold a grudge, they might want to use other Loose Cultivators to test our strength."

"That is why they are indulging these Loose Cultivators to test us."

"Since that is the case, why don't we strike first to gain the advantage? If we kill a batch of them, they will know what we are capable of."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists.

Although the Shen Family did not come forward in this matter, he instinctively sensed that it must have a thousand threads of connection to the Shen Family.

Otherwise, those Loose Cultivators would never be so unscrupulous.

"But husband, they are numerous and powerful, and their methods are strange; I may not necessarily be their match."

Leng Yuexi frowned.

Although she was very confident in her own strength, she did not dare to say she could win one hundred percent when facing so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

More importantly, if those Foundation Establishment Cultivators went to deal with her husband and captured him as a hostage, she would have to worry about harming the rat to save the vase, so she had to be on guard.

"Rest assured, have you forgotten?"

"Although my cultivation is not as good as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, I have a Soul secret technique that can affect Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"Battles between Foundation Establishment Cultivators are often decided in a single breath."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly, full of confidence.

After advancing to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, the True Essence within his body had been greatly enhanced, but more importantly, his Soul power had also been greatly enhanced.

The strength of his Divine Sense was already comparable to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

If he were to borrow the power of the Dream Soul Gu, this Soul power could even interfere with Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.

Although he could not severely injure a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, he could affect the opponent's actions, causing the opponent to have a second of trance.
