Chapter 174: A Life Like an Immortal, News of the Empty Underworld Grass
One week later, inside the Immortal Palace on Xianxia Peak.
Clearly, after Ji Bingyu and the others advanced to Foundation Establishment, the effects of their Dual Cultivation had also reached a higher level.
Even their improvements in the hundred arts of immortality cultivation were, to a certain extent, carried over to his own improvement.
This was equivalent to his Dao Companions also assisting in his cultivation.
"Not bad."
Zhou Sui got up from the bed, feeling satisfied; looking at his four beautiful Dao Companions who were still fast asleep, he felt a wave of comfort.
He felt that days like these were simply like being in heaven.
Having beautiful wives and concubines by his side, while also holding authority over a massive force, with a vast number of people being mobilized by himself.
From a certain perspective, this was already equivalent to being an emperor.
It was no wonder that even existences like Golden Core Real Persons and Nascent Soul Ancestors wanted to establish a massive force.
After all, one could not possibly collect cultivation resources all by oneself.
If one had a force to help, one would not know how much effort could be saved, and one would only need to spend time in bitter cultivation to improve one's own cultivation base; that would be enough.
"It is a pity that the Empty Underworld Grass has not been found yet."
Zhou Sui felt a bit regretful.
He had already posted the mission in the Xianxia Sect for a week, but unfortunately, no one had accepted the mission until now.
Clearly, the Empty Underworld Grass was not that easy to find.
However, he was not in a hurry, as he had already prepared for a protracted battle.
As long as the Empty Underworld Grass was found within the next few years, that would be completely sufficient.
After all, within a short period of time, the Xianxia Sect would not encounter any major problems, and he would not be running away.
"Husband, why are you up so early? Sleep a little longer."
The Mu Ziyan beside him seemed to have woken up; looking at Zhou Sui, she acted like a spoiled child.
She stretched, revealing a graceful figure that was simply mouth-watering.
Clearly, after advancing to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, her body had been further strengthened and was now even more perfect.
It was simply as if she were a fairy of the sect.
Every movement of hers radiated infinite charm.
"You little glutton."
Zhou Sui smiled; he had originally wanted to say something else.
Swoosh!
Just at this moment, the communication Talisman on Zhou Sui's body suddenly rang, and a message was transmitted.
"There is news about the Empty Underworld Grass; come to Danyao Peak immediately."
This was a message sent by the Peak Master of Danyao Peak, Ma Qianjun.
"What? It was found so quickly?"
"As expected of the Xianxia Sect."
Seeing this kind of message, Zhou Sui was immediately overjoyed; he did not expect that it would only take a week to find the Empty Underworld Grass. He could only say that as expected of a Golden Core sect, its influence was profound.
If he were alone and weak, he feared that no matter what, he would never have found the Empty Underworld Grass.
"You rest for a while; I have something to do at Danyao Peak."
Zhou Sui immediately entered a sage-like state; although Dao Companions were good, the current matter was more important.
After all, the Empty Underworld Grass concerned his own future path and could not be lost.
Swoosh!
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui did not hesitate; his figure flashed, and he flew toward Danyao Peak.
Leaving behind only a few resentful, beautiful Dao Companions.
…………
At this time, Ma Qianjun had already been waiting at Danyao Peak for a long time.
And beside Ma Qianjun was also an Inner Sect Disciple at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, with a simple appearance and the look of an honest man.
There was even a feeling of being a bit dull, the kind that one could not find even when placed in a crowd.
"Who is this?"
Seeing this unfamiliar disciple, Zhou Sui asked curiously.
"Oh, this is this old man's disciple, Yu Renyi."
"The news about the Empty Underworld Grass this time was brought by him."
Ma Qianjun introduced.
"So it is Fellow Daoist Yu."
Zhou Sui nodded.
"I dare not, I dare not; Elder Zhou can just call me Little Yu."
Yu Renyi said with fear and trepidation; after all, he was only a Qi Refining Cultivator, while the other party was already a Foundation Establishment Elder.
Both in terms of status and strength, the two sides were not on the same level.
The other party could be humble and low-key, but he could not be ignorant of what was good for him.
"I wonder where the Empty Underworld Grass is?"
Zhou Sui could not be bothered with so much polite talk and asked straightforwardly.
"Elder Zhou, the Empty Underworld Grass is not on my person."
"In fact, this Spirit Medicine was obtained by a Loose Cultivator, and this person is my close friend."
"However, he does not trust us Cultivators of the sect, so he wants to trade with the Elder in person."
"Of course, the trading location cannot be chosen within the Xianxia Sect; he wants to conduct it in the Xiaguang Forest near our Xianxia Sect."
Yu Renyi said immediately.
The so-called Xiaguang Forest is precisely a vast forest stretching for a thousand miles near the Xianxia Sect, with overlapping peaks and complex terrain nearby; once one goes deep into the forest, it is almost impossible to find any traces.
Many Monster Beasts also live in the depths of the forest, which is extremely dangerous.
Of course, this still cannot compare to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
"Wants to trade outside the sect?"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes; he instinctively realized there was a problem with this.
If the trade were inside the Xianxia Sect, it would not be a problem, and his own safety would be guaranteed.
But if it is a trade outside the sect, then the problem is huge.
Who knows if the person on the other side of the trade is human or a ghost.
If it is a trap, then he will be in big trouble.
"Does the Elder find it troublesome?"
"If the Elder thinks it is inappropriate, I can refuse the other party."
"To actually let Elder Zhou go to the wilderness for a trade in person is indeed a bit excessive."
Yu Renyi said with a sincere face.
"No, it is not considered excessive."
"I was also a Loose Cultivator once, so naturally I am very clear about the concerns of Loose Cultivators."
"Since the other party wants to trade in the Xiaguang Forest, then let's just go."
Zhou Sui's eyes flickered, and then he smiled softly, agreeing to the other party's request.
To tell the truth, he did indeed suspect that Yu Renyi had ill intentions.
He had just wanted to obtain the Empty Underworld Grass, and someone actually delivered it to his door; how could there be such a coincidence.
However, he was also fearless.
After all, he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm Early-Stage, and his cultivation had increased greatly, improving by who knows how many times compared to before.
If the enemy really wanted to ambush him, it would be purely seeking their own death.
Unless the other party dispatched a Golden Core Real Person, it would be impossible to ambush and kill him.
The problem is, how could a Golden Core Real Person be dispatched so easily, and if they really were dispatched, the other party would not dare to come near the Xianxia Sect.
Of course, more importantly, he would not use his true body for this trade.
Instead, he would use a clone.
Even if some problem really occurred, it would only be the fall of a clone.
The reason for choosing to take the risk was still because the Empty Underworld Grass was too important.
If he missed this opportunity, he would not know how long he would have to wait.
Since the enemy is using bait, then he cannot be blamed for swallowing the bait as well.
If a sugar-coated shell comes, then he will eat the sugar coating and throw the shell back.
"I wonder when it is convenient for Elder Zhou? I can notify my close friend immediately."
Yu Renyi asked.
"As for that, let's make it noon; I need to prepare a bit first."
Naturally, Zhou Sui could not go right now; of course, he needed to make some preparations.
