Chapter 172: Teleportation Gu, Empty Underworld Grass, and Exchanging with an Alchemist
One day later.
At this time, after researching for a period of time through the Gu God Bowl, Zhou Sui finally found a Gu insect that could save his life at a critical moment, and that was the Teleportation Gu.
Without a doubt, this kind of Gu insect was equivalent to a Space Gu, possessing the ability of instant movement.
It could even carry other people along for instant movement.
The more powerful one's strength, the longer the distance of the instant movement.
Even a thousand kilometers, or even ten thousand kilometers, could be achieved with ease.
If he could refine a Teleportation Gu, then even if the Xianxia Sect's array formation were broken and a Golden Core Real Person came knocking, he could rely on the Teleportation Gu to instantly escape the scene.
Even if the enemy wanted to pursue him, it would basically be an impossible task.
"If I want to refine a Teleportation Gu, then one of the most important main materials is Empty Underworld Grass."
"This is a special spirit grass that possesses spatial energy, and it is of great value."
"It is something that cannot be bought even with money."
Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.
When he stayed in Miyun City before, he had basically never seen this kind of spirit grass, let alone had the chance to pay for it.
"Right, this is the Xianxia Sect, a Golden Core sect."
"There is also a Danyao Peak, which collects a large amount of spirit medicines and herbs."
"Perhaps there is some Empty Underworld Grass there."
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately set off for Danyao Peak.
The distance between Xianxia Peak and Danyao Peak was not very far, basically a journey of a few minutes.
Upon hearing of Zhou Sui's arrival, Danyao Peak Master Ma Qianjun immediately came out to welcome him.
After all, he was Leng Yuexi's Dao companion, and his status was lofty.
It was equivalent to a Golden Core Real Person.
If one offended Zhou Sui, it was equivalent to offending the Xianxia Sect Sect Master; just thinking about the consequences made one shudder.
Even though Ma Qianjun was the high-ranking and powerful Peak Master of Danyao Peak, he did not want to offend people if it was not necessary.
After all, he could be considered a crafty old fox.
"Daoist Zhou, I wonder what brings you to Danyao Peak?"
Danyao Peak Master Ma Qianjun asked with great curiosity.
After all, he had heard that since Zhou Sui arrived at the Xianxia Sect, he had basically been in bitter cultivation.
He rarely left Xianxia Peak.
Now that he had actually taken the initiative to leave Xianxia Peak and head to Danyao Peak, it was clearly unusual.
"The situation is this: I wonder if your Danyao Peak has any Empty Underworld Grass?"
"Recently, I have wanted to refine a special pill that requires the use of Empty Underworld Grass."
Zhou Sui asked straightforwardly, stating his requirements.
"Empty Underworld Grass? This is a rather special spirit medicine that contains spatial energy."
"However, pills that use Empty Underworld Grass as the main ingredient are quite rare."
"It seems Daoist Zhou has obtained an ancient pill recipe."
Ma Qianjun looked at Zhou Sui with a smile.
He had also heard rumors about Zhou Sui, saying that he was already a second-tier alchemist back during the Qi Refining stage.
He had even used monster cores to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
This was an incredible achievement.
Even among the many alchemists of the Xianxia Sect's Danyao Peak, there were few who could compare to him.
To be honest, he was also very curious about the alchemy cultivation level of this Sect Master's Dao companion.
Was he really as formidable as the legends said?
"Haha, it is just luck. I wonder if Danyao Peak has this kind of spirit medicine?"
"Of course, I don't need it for free; I can pay to purchase it."
Zhou Sui brushed it off and asked directly.
"Well, this kind of spirit medicine is too rare; even our Danyao Peak does not have it."
"However, even if our Danyao Peak doesn't have it, we can issue a mission to let other Daoists help keep an eye out for it."
"If the Empty Underworld Grass is truly found, we can purchase it immediately."
"Of course, Empty Underworld Grass is not cheap; it requires at least ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones."
Ma Qianjun looked at Zhou Sui with some hesitation.
After all, ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones were a massive figure, even for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
It might not be enough to bankrupt someone, but it would certainly be a heavy blow.
Because this was already ten times more expensive than a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This was enough to prove the preciousness of Empty Underworld Grass.
"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones? That is absolutely no problem."
"If your Danyao Peak can help find it, I will immediately offer ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones."
Hearing this, Zhou Sui felt relieved.
A mere ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones meant nothing to him now.
Because when he was in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range before, he had obtained many storage bags from several major Foundation Establishment families, as well as a large amount of wealth from the Lu Family, which had long since made him rich overnight.
He estimated that his current wealth exceeded one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
This was already an astronomical amount of wealth that an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not imagine.
Moreover, compared to the Teleportation Gu, ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones were truly child's play.
What?!
How could this rich bastard be so wealthy?!
Ma Qianjun's mouth twitched; seeing Zhou Sui's indifferent attitude toward money, he was insanely jealous inside—a Cultivator who had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage could actually casually bring out ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
One had to know that even a Second-tier Alchemist like him needed to spend a vast amount of time to earn ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
Yet this kid could actually bring it out so casually; this was simply too exaggerated.
But thinking about it carefully, this kid's Dao Companion was a Golden Core Real Person.
It could be said that no matter what was bought, the Golden Core Real Person could foot the bill.
Judging by the earning speed of a Golden Core Real Person, ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones probably really didn't amount to much.
Thinking of this, Ma Qianjun became even more jealous.
Hooking up with a female Golden Core Cultivator is truly great; in one leap, one rises in class, at the very least saving decades or even a hundred years of bitter cultivation.
With the help of a Golden Core Real Person, one dare not say they can advance to Golden Core in the future.
But at the very least, reaching the Foundation Establishment Late Stage is no problem.
Damn it, is being handsome so amazing? Being handsome allows one to be this inhumanly wealthy.
At this very moment, even though he was extremely calculating, his face was somewhat twisted with jealousy.
No matter how superior one's Spirit Root is, or how high one's comprehension, it is not as good as having a good life.
"Fine, leave this matter to us at Danyao Peak."
"If we find the Empty Underworld Grass, we will definitely notify Daoist Zhou at the first opportunity."
Ma Qianjun took a deep breath.
"Then thank you, Daoist Ma."
Hearing this, Zhou Sui was very satisfied; as expected, joining a major power is truly great.
If he relied solely on himself, he probably wouldn't know when he could find the Empty Underworld Grass.
But by utilizing the power of a Golden Core sect, there would be a large number of Cultivators taking action to help him find it.
He didn't even know how much time this would save.
"By the way, Daoist Zhou, I heard that you are a Second-tier Alchemist."
"How about we exchange some insights on Alchemy?"
Ma Qianjun's heart stirred, and he extended an invitation to Zhou Sui; he wanted to probe this kid's background.
He wanted to see if he was as formidable as the rumors suggested.
"No problem."
Zhou Sui nodded; he also wanted to learn a thing or two from these veteran Second-tier Alchemists.
After all, no matter how rich one's theoretical knowledge is, practice is still required.
These veteran Second-tier Alchemists must have incredibly rich experience in Alchemy, and he could certainly learn something from them.
