Chapter 179: Harvesting 50,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones, Refining the Yi Wood Pill

"Right, there are also the Storage Bags of those four Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also took four or five Storage Bags from his person; among them was one belonging to a Qi Refining Cultivator, but it was basically negligible.

He merely swept his divine sense lightly, simultaneously activating Heart Eye Identifying Objects, and instantly a massive amount of information flooded into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

Information about Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicine, Dharma Artifacts, Spirit Qi, pills, and many other Treasures appeared before his eyes.

"Truly a bunch of paupers."

Zhou Sui blinked, feeling quite speechless.

He had originally thought he might find some special Treasures, but he hadn't expected them to be nothing but common resources.

There was nothing that could catch his eye.

But even so, the Treasures in these five Storage Bags added up to a value of 40,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

For a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this could actually be considered a not-insignificant fortune.

40,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones could also buy a large amount of Second-tier pills, which could rapidly improve a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's cultivation.

And adding the Empty Underworld Grass worth 10,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

It could be said that he had earned 50,000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones this time, which could be considered a windfall.

"Forget it, I'd better continue cultivating and improve my Dharma Power."

Zhou Sui put these Storage Bags down for the time being, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a bottle of Yi Wood Pill, and immediately took one to consume.

Whoosh, whoosh~~

He circulated the Gu God Scripture, rapidly refining this Yi Wood Pill, and then transformed it into vast energy.

The energy of the Yi Wood Pill was incomparably gentle, flowing through every one of his meridians and constantly strengthening his physique.

At this moment, the Dharma Power within his body was increasing bit by bit.

"Too slow."

Zhou Sui felt deeply emotional inside; even with the assistance of the Second-tier Yi Wood Pill, it would take at least a month to condense a single drop of liquid Dharma Power. One could imagine just how slow the speed of condensing Dharma Power was.

If there were no Second-tier pills to assist, it would probably take half a year to condense a single drop of liquid Dharma Power.

According to his current cultivation speed, it was estimated that it would take at least a hundred years of bitter cultivation to possibly advance to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

One had to know that his Spirit Root had already reached the level of the sixth grade, equivalent to a middle-grade Spirit Root.

But even so, it was as slow as a snail.

If it were a normal Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a sixth-grade Spirit Root, it was estimated that even until their Longevity was exhausted, it would be impossible to advance to the realm of Foundation Establishment Perfection, nor would they be able to form a Golden Core.

They might even spend their whole life just at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

"The further one reaches in the later realms, the more important one's immortal cultivation aptitude becomes."

"If a Lower Grade Spirit Root has a fortuitous encounter, then becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is not impossible."

"But wanting to become a Golden Core True Person is basically wishful thinking."

"The speed of condensing liquid Dharma Power alone is enough to make cultivators with Lower Grade and middle-grade Spirit Roots despair."

"Only cultivators with Superior Spiritual Roots can advance to Foundation Establishment Perfection before the age of two hundred."

"Only then is there hope of advancing to Golden Core."

Zhou Sui's eyes flickered; he perceived that Spirit Root aptitude was indeed incomparably important.

Especially when cultivating to Foundation Establishment, or even Golden Core, a middle-grade Spirit Root cultivating for one year was merely equivalent to one month for a cultivator with a Superior Spiritual Root; the difference in efficiency was too great.

Over the long years, the gap became increasingly enormous.

Fortunately, he had the help of the Infatuation Gu, as well as the assistance of his Dao Companion.

It probably wouldn't take long before his Spirit Root aptitude would also receive further improvement.

By then, once his Spirit Root advanced to the fifth grade, his cultivation efficiency would definitely receive a huge increase.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui didn't dwell on such matters and continued to enter a state of bitter cultivation, digesting the medicinal power of the Yi Wood Pill.

…………

At the same time, many Foundation Establishment Elders of the Xianxia Sect also gathered together.

They had also heard the news that Zhou Sui had been assassinated by a Foundation Establishment Elder of the Youmo Sect, and each of them felt very shocked.

"I didn't expect the Youmo Sect Master Luo Hua to be so vengeful, even sending four Foundation Establishment Elders to personally take action against the Sect Master's Dao Companion; that really is a grand gesture."

"It's a pity that the Youmo Sect Master underestimated the Sect Master's doting on that pretty boy, even gifting a Third-tier Talisman; just how reluctant was she to see that pretty boy die?"

"One can only say that the kid has indeed gained the Sect Master's favor; he really is an enviable fellow. If not for the Sect Master's help, this kid would probably have no hope of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime."

"However, the Youmo Sect lost four Foundation Establishment Elders this time, and their combat power is greatly damaged. This is a great opportunity for us; we can take the chance to seize a large number of markets and mineral veins from the Youmo Sect and make a fortune."

"To tell the truth, this is merely a small matter. Now, the more important thing is that suddenly appearing Nascent Soul Cave Abode; that is the major event related to our Dao path."

Many Xianxia Sect Foundation Establishment Elders discussed it heatedly.

The biggest reason for their gathering this time was not Zhou Sui, but that Nascent Soul Cave Abode that had suddenly appeared in the Xianxia Sect's territory.

The appearance of this Nascent Soul Cave Abode had immediately attracted the attention of many Jin Dan Powers.

"Tsk tsk, this Nascent Soul Cave Abode belongs to the famous Ancestor Xueying from three thousand years ago. It is said that he once slaughtered many powers of that era and plundered a large amount of Treasures."

"No one knows exactly how many secret Treasures are inside."

"Perhaps there are some Jiedan Spiritual Objects inside, or even Nascent Soul-forming spiritual objects."

The Hall Master of Rewards and Punishments, Xue Qiyang, said gloomily.

"That's impossible, isn't that a bit too exaggerated? If Nascent Soul-forming spiritual objects really existed, I'm afraid even Nascent Soul powers would be attracted here. Could our Xianxia Sect withstand that?"

The Peak Master of Danyao Peak, Ma Qianjun, said with great worry.

He felt that the appearance of this Nascent Soul Cave Abode might not necessarily be a good thing; on the contrary, it might bring a huge disaster to the Xianxia Sect.

After all, such a fortuitous encounter was simply too hot to handle.

It was simply not something the current Xianxia Sect could grasp.

If that Nascent Soul Cave Abode truly contains a spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation, then the Nascent Soul forces outside the island will certainly swarm over.

By then, relying on the strength of the Xianxia Sect, it would be impossible to resist at all.

A slight moment of carelessness, and that would be the end of the sect.

"This is merely a guess, and it may not be accurate."

"Moreover, three thousand years have passed; if there were no proper preservation methods, even a spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation would have weathered away. It is impossible for it to remain, so do not worry yourself unnecessarily."

Peak Master of Fu Feng, Chang Lei, said in a deep voice.

He personally felt that it was impossible for that Nascent Soul Cave Abode to contain a spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation.

Because even for a Nascent Soul Ancestor, a spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation is not so easy to find; they are all considered treasures of immense value, and even the Xueying Laozu of the past might not have been able to obtain one.

"Even if there is no spiritual object for Nascent Soul formation, there might still be Jiedan Spiritual Objects."

"After all, this is the Cave Abode of a Nascent Soul Ancestor; who knows what treasures are inside."

"Regardless, we cannot miss this Nascent Soul Cave Abode; this is an opportunity for the Dao."

"A hundred years is too long, we must seize the day."

Hall Master of Rewards and Punishments, Xue Qiyang, clenched his fists; he would not miss this opportunity no matter what.
