Chapter 216: Sect Master Lin, you wouldn't want this matter to be known by the Qing

"Sure enough, after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, my divine sense power has gained a tremendous boost."

"Now, my divine sense power can already rival that of a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

Originally, the range covered by his divine sense was only eight hundred zhang, but now, after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, it has increased to two thousand zhang.

Compared to before, the improvement is truly immense.

One must know that the further one progresses, the more difficult it is to improve the power of one's divine sense.

Even the slightest increase in divine sense power is incredibly difficult.

With divine sense power like his, even a Cultivator with exceptional talent would find it hard to compare with him.

Of course, due to the increase in divine sense power, his Heart Eye Power has also expanded in an extraordinary way.

Now, the coverage range of his Heart Eye has already exceeded twenty thousand zhang.

If we are talking solely about exploration range, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would find it hard to match him.

Boom—

At this moment, his Heart Eye Power spread out, covering a radius of twenty thousand zhang.

Every Cultivator in the entire Qingmu Sect was within his range of perception.

Their every move, every frown and smile, was presented before his eyes in minute detail.

It was as if he possessed the Eye of God, discerning everything.

The many Cultivators were also unable to detect the prying of his Heart Eye Power.

"Right, let's see how the data on the Virtual Panel looks."

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin and immediately opened the Virtual Panel; after all, only the data on the Virtual Panel could show the progress of his cultivation in a more intuitive way.

【Host: Zhou Sui, Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Late Stage (Progress 10%), Lifespan: 40 (2000) years】

【Aptitude: Five-element Spiritual Root (11%)】

【Sword Dao: Second-tier High-grade (70%)】

"Has the progress reached 10%?"

"The effect of the Yin Essence from a Golden Core Late Stage female Cultivator is truly great."

"And there is still a massive amount of Yin Essence stored in my body, not yet digested."

"If it were completely converted into Dharma Power, even if my cultivation hasn't reached Foundation Establishment Perfection, it would be close."

Zhou Sui felt very satisfied.

Clearly, the benefits he gained from this Dual Cultivation were simply too massive.

To be honest, if he were cultivating normally, without seventy or eighty years, he would likely be unable to advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage realm.

Even someone like Leng Yuexi, with a First Grade Spiritual Root, only reached Foundation Establishment Perfection at the age of eighty.

But now, he has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at only forty years old.

It is not particularly far from Foundation Establishment Perfection.

It can be said that without the assistance of two Golden Core Dao Companions, his cultivation speed would not be this fast.

One must rely on Dao Companions; otherwise, given his Spiritual Root aptitude, who knows how many years it would have taken.

"However, my lifespan has actually increased to two thousand years."

"Compared to before, it has increased by a full four hundred years."

"Sure enough, does the improvement of a minor realm also increase one's lifespan?"

Zhou Sui was very joyful.

After all, isn't the reason Cultivators practice to increase their lifespan and live forever?

Now that he is only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he actually possesses a lifespan of two thousand years; if this were told to others, who knows how many Cultivators would be scared to death—this is simply too exaggerated.

Even an Ancestor in the Nascent Soul Realm only lives for a thousand years.

One can imagine just how exaggerated his lifespan is.

"Have the Gu Insects' cultivations also improved? Not bad, not bad."

Zhou Sui also sensed that the eleven Gu Insects on his body had basically all gained tremendous improvements, at least rising by one minor realm, thereby increasing their abilities as well.

The improvement of his own cultivation also drove the increase in the power of every single Gu Insect.

At this very moment, they also contained massive amounts of Dharma Power within their bodies, each equivalent to one of his Dantian Qi Seas.

It can be said that this time counts as an all-around improvement.

His strength has also made astonishing progress.

"Mm."

At this moment, Lin Yazhu also woke up faintly. She looked at her own state, then looked at Zhou Sui's state, and her pretty face flushed red; naturally, she knew what had just happened.

Clearly, she had already been taken by this man.

She had kept herself pure for over three hundred years, never expecting to fall into the hands of the man before her.

Moreover, she is nearly three hundred years old.

If this were in the secular world, she could already be this man's great-grandmother.

Of course, in the world of immortal cultivation, age is actually not an issue, because cultivators have long since transcended the boundaries of mortals.

If she could become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, then at her current age, she would only be equivalent to a woman of twenty or thirty in the mortal world, still considered young and vigorous.

"Sect Master Lin, I believe you wouldn't want your own sect disciples to know about what just happened, right?"

Zhou Sui gently gripped Lin Yazhu's smooth chin, revealing an evil, charming smile.

"Despicable man, to actually threaten me."

"You, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Lin Yazhu trembled and couldn't help but ask.

"Need you ask? Naturally, I want to possess you."

"From now on, you must be obedient; if I tell you to go east, you cannot go west."

"If I tell you to fly, you cannot walk."

Zhou Sui said quite domineeringly.

He was also quite moved inwardly, because judging from the information transmitted by the Infatuation Gu, the more domineering he was, the more Lin Yazhu seemed to fall in love with him, to the point of being unable to extricate herself.

One could only say that deep down, this woman is also a pervert with a tendency toward masochism.

"Mm, I understand."

"I will be very obedient from now on, please don't tell anyone about this matter."

"As long as you keep the secret, I will listen to you in everything."

Hearing this, Lin Yazhu's pretty face flushed, and her beautiful eyes could not help but reveal a look of infatuation.

This man is truly too wicked.

He clearly already has five Dao companions, yet he still came to provoke her; it is simply despicable and shameless.

The reason she submitted to this man was that there was no other way.

After all, her handle had already been seized; otherwise, the secret she carried would be exposed.

She would lose all face as a Sect Master in front of many disciples.

Therefore, she could only obediently submit to this man.

"Very good, tidy up."

"We have already delayed for a long time here."

"Don't let those disciples of the Qingmu Sect discover anything."

Zhou Sui was very satisfied and issued an order to Lin Yazhu.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Yazhu said very submissively. She waved her hand, casting a Cleaning Technique, and instantly tidied up the entire Immortal Palace completely, as if nothing had happened here at all.

She also put on her clothes, revealing the noble empress-like status of the Qingmu Sect Sect Master.

It seemed she had completely recovered the aura and power of a Golden Core Real Person.

What?!

Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Sui's mouth twitched. This woman was becoming increasingly perverted; he hadn't said anything, yet she had already placed herself in the position of a slave?!

To a certain extent, the Infatuation Gu cannot actually change their personalities.

It only increases their favorability toward him.

At the same time, it merely amplifies certain characteristics of their personalities.

Clearly, Lin Yazhu also had that tendency deep down, only it had been covered up by her status as Sect Master and her powerful cultivation.

But due to the power of the Infatuation Gu, this aspect was amplified.

However, this aspect was only displayed in front of him and not in front of outsiders.

But to some extent, he actually preferred this kind of change.

After all, what man doesn't like a woman who is a noble lady in public and something else in private?

Crack!

At this moment, the Immortal Palace doors opened.

The Qingmu Sect Elders and disciples, who had been waiting outside for a long time, filed in and entered the Immortal Palace.

"Alright, the Wood Spirit Divine Thunder Array and the Tier 3 High-Grade Array have all been set up."

"From now on, you can live on Muxing Island with peace of mind."

Zhou Sui coughed and said to the crowd.

He was not worried that these Cultivators would suspect anything.

After all, it is only natural that setting up a Tier 3 array would take a long time.

Who could know that while setting up the array, he had actually taken the opportunity to eat the Qingmu Sect Sect Master, Lin Yazhu?

One could only say he is a master of time management; no matter where he goes, he never wastes time.

His efficiency in doing things is also very high.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Zhou."

"Isn't that so? If Daoist Zhou hadn't stepped in to help, we wouldn't have known what to do."

"Exactly, exactly. It is not an easy thing to hire a Third-Tier High-Grade Array Master in the Wuji Alliance."

Many Qingmu Sect Elders expressed their gratitude to Zhou Sui very sincerely.

Their gratitude was also genuine.

After all, the status of a Third-tier Array Master is comparable to that of a Golden Core Real Person.

To hire such a Third-tier Array Master, one wouldn't even know how great a price would need to be paid.

But to want a safe sect residence, it is impossible without the protection of an Array.

Therefore, the appearance of Zhou Sui simply solved their urgent need.

It was equivalent to sending charcoal in snowy weather.

No amount of words could express their gratitude.

"No need for formalities."

"You are all Cultivators from Xianxia Island."

"The Three Sects are of one mind and one body."

"Coming to this unfamiliar place of the Wuji Alliance, naturally we need to watch over and help each other."

"Today I help you, and in the future, you will also help me."

"Mutual benefit and mutual aid, isn't this the Dao of cultivation?"

Zhou Sui said nonchalantly, revealing an appearance of being righteous and loyal.

The reason he was so generous was naturally because the Sect Master of the Qingmu Sect was his own Dao Companion.

The Qingmu Sect was also equivalent to his own territory and his own force.

In this way, wouldn't helping the Qingmu Sect be equivalent to helping himself?

Most importantly, he had also left a backdoor in this Third-tier Array, allowing the Array Heart Gu to invade and leaving behind his own sub-avatar.

Therefore, he could also control this Array at any time for his own use.

"Daoist Zhou, what you say is truly correct."

"Our three great sects are naturally of one mind and one body, and are close friends."

"From now on, Daoist Zhou is the best friend of our Qingmu Sect."

Many Qingmu Sect Elders were moved to tears; a Daoist like Zhou Sui was someone worth befriending.

Although in the world of immortal cultivation, most are selfish, self-interested, and treacherous people.

But there are still people like Zhou Sui who are righteous, loyal, and eager to help others.

"Alright, enough talk."

"Since the Array has been set up, I will return to the Xianxia Sect first."

"If there is anything in the future, you can come to the Xianxia Sect to find me; I will naturally be duty-bound."

Zhou Sui waved his hand, his figure flashed, and he left the Qingmu Sect without staying any longer.

After all, he still wanted to return to the Xianxia Sect to consolidate his Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation.

"Sect Master, what should we do next?"

A Foundation Establishment Elder asked.

"Hmm, you continue to build the structures of the Qingmu Sect."

"And also explore the surrounding sea environment."

"Inquire about the distribution of the surrounding forces."

"Find channels to earn Spirit Stones."

"You all act separately; do not delay time."

Qingmu Sect Sect Master Lin Yazhu said in a deep voice, issuing a series of orders.

"Yes, Sect Master."

Hearing this, the many Elders and Disciples had no doubts and immediately retreated.

Only Lin Yazhu remained in the entire Immortal Palace.

"That man is indeed a Pure Yang Body."

"Just one session of Dual Cultivation actually made my Wood Spirit Body produce such a great effect."

"If we continue to Dual Cultivate a few more times, I fear my Wood Spirit Body will obtain a huge evolution."

"The woodification within my body will also disappear rapidly."

Lin Yazhu's beautiful eyes revealed a glimmer of light.

She sensed the vast Golden Core Dharma Power surging within her body, circulating through her meridians for several cycles.

It could be said that she felt her body was unprecedentedly relaxed.

One must know that the reason she was able to advance to the Golden Core Realm so smoothly, besides her Spirit Root being of the first grade.

More importantly, she also possessed a Wood Spirit Body.

Once possessing this kind of Spirit Body, there were no bottlenecks in advancing to the Golden Core Realm.

So, at only two or three hundred years old, she was already a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator.

Such a cultivation speed, even in a Nascent Soul sect, was considered extremely fast.

However, success comes from the Wood Spirit Body, and failure also comes from the Wood Spirit Body.

Because the cultivation progress was truly too fast, her body was also eroded by the vast wood-type primordial energy, and her meridians and dantian already had signs of woodification.

To tell the truth, this was also a drawback of the Qingmu Sect's cultivation technique.

If she continued to cultivate like this, her entire body would be woodified and eventually turn into a large tree.

In fact, all past Qingmu Sect Sect Masters had this kind of ending.

Basically, there was no hope for the Nascent Soul.

Of course, on Xianxia Island, a Golden Core Cultivator was the limit; being able to become a Golden Core True Person was already the ultimate wish of countless Cultivators.

As for a Nascent Soul Ancestor, that was not even worth thinking about.

But how could Lin Yazhu be willing to accept that?

Having reached Golden Core Perfection at only three hundred years old, she was unwilling to die just like that, following in the footsteps of the past Sect Masters of the Qingmu Sect to turn into a great tree.

But now, Zhou Sui had appeared.

The other party's Pure Yang Body seemed capable of helping her resolve the issue of her wood-natured constitution.

After just one session of Dual Cultivation, Lin Yazhu was pleasantly surprised to discover that her body, which had been sinking into a wood-natured state, had actually found relief, and even the wood-natured Dharma Power within her was becoming active once again.

This meant she would not follow in the footsteps of the past Sect Masters of the Qingmu Sect.

It is easy to imagine that the joy in her heart was simply beyond words.

"That man truly is of immense help to my cultivation."

Lin Yazhu was very excited.

In fact, ever since she learned that Zhou Sui had helped Shen Biqian resolve the trouble with the Taiyin Spirit Fire, she had been impatient to obtain this man; this man could certainly help her resolve the problems with her cultivation technique.

Unfortunately, in the past five years, she had absolutely no opportunity to make a move.

It was not until now, after arriving at the Wuji Alliance Sea Area and reaching the island.

That she finally found an opportunity to be alone with this man.

On the surface, it appeared that Zhou Sui had obtained her.

But in reality, it was she who had obtained this man; if she had not tacitly consented, how could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator possibly have done anything to her, a Golden Core Real Person?

On the surface, she was the prey, but in secret, she was the hunter.

"My Qingmu Sect's Green Wood Longevity Technique is finally saved."

Lin Yazhu squeezed her delicate fists.

To tell the truth, the Qingmu Sect's true transmission technique, the Green Wood Longevity Technique, was a technique the Qingmu Sect's founding ancestor obtained from a certain mysterious ruin, and by relying on this technique, they founded a thousand-year sect.

This technique points directly to the Spirit Severing realm and is infinitely profound.

Moreover, it is very simple to Beginner.

Even those with Lower Grade Spirit Root can practice this technique.

This technique can even significantly increase one's lifespan, far exceeding that of cultivators of the same rank.

For instance, other Golden Core Cultivators can live for at most five hundred years.

But those who practice the Green Wood Longevity Technique can survive for six hundred, or even seven hundred years.

Compared to other cultivators, they live one or two hundred years longer.

It is easy to imagine the profound nature of this technique; it is incomparable to other techniques.

So, do not look at her as being around three hundred years old now; in fact, she is even younger than other Golden Core Cultivators.

The pity is that this technique is not so simple to practice.

Especially after entering the Golden Core Realm, the erosion from wood-natured Dharma Power causes the body to enter a state of wood-natured transformation.

Every generation of Qingmu Sect Sect Masters encounters this situation and turns into great trees.

It is not as if there is no way to resolve this problem.

The first is to find a special Spirit Medicine, the Ten Thousand Year Earth Marrow Spirit Liquid, which can dissolve the state of wood-natured transformation.

The problem is that such a thing does not exist on Xianxia Island at all.

Even within the Canglan Sea, it is something never seen or heard of.

Therefore, past Qingmu Sect Sect Masters had no way out and could only watch helplessly as they turned into wood and transformed into great trees.

But now it is different.

A problem that past Sect Masters could not solve.

Now, in her generation, it has finally been solved by her.

That man is simply a peerless Spirit Medicine helping her, making it so she finally has hope of forming a Nascent Soul.

"It's a pity, if only I could monopolize this man."

Lin Yazhu felt a bit regretful.

If she could, she would love to just kidnap this man, keep him for herself, and not let other women share him with her.

If she were to Dual Cultivate with him day and night, perhaps she would soon be able to touch the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.

But after thinking about it carefully, she gave up on the idea.

She did not want to see Shen Biqian and Leng Yuexi causing her trouble.

"Forget it, forget it, it is better to let the water flow long."

"Shen Biqian, in the end, you still cannot beat me."

"Where can a Dao Companion compare to a lover?"

"Home flowers are never as fragrant as wild flowers."

Lin Yazhu smiled slightly, revealing a charming smile, full of allure.

Although she was previously a maiden, she had lived a long time and was well-informed.

Even if she hadn't eaten pork, hadn't she seen a pig run?

Men in this world are all the same.

…………

Several days later.

Shuixing Island, Xianxia Sect.

After more than a month of construction, Shuixing Island had basically taken on a considerable scale.

A large number of simple buildings had been constructed on every mountain peak.

It was enough to accommodate three thousand people, sufficient for many cultivators to practice and live.

Of course, the most important thing was the arrangement of the Three-Tier Gathering Spirit Array and the Tier 3 High-Grade Array, the Purple Mist Yin-Yang Array, which made the entire island extremely safe, with no need to worry about encountering an invasion by external enemies.

This also put the Cultivators of the Xianxia Sect much more at ease.

At this very moment, the highest peak of Shuixing Island, which is also the main peak of the Xianxia Sect and the source of the Third-tier Spirit Vein, is named Xianxia Peak, and this is also where the Sect Master resides.

The other Foundation Establishment Elders all have their own peaks.

This place is naturally the paradise for Zhou Sui and his wives and concubines.

"Husband, I never expected your cultivation to advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage so quickly."

"I fear that even the Golden Core Realm is not very far off now."

Ji Bingyu said with great emotion.

She sensed that the aura on Zhou Sui now was already that of a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

When they first met, her husband was merely a small Cultivator at the Qi Refining First Layer.

But now, he has completely surpassed her, becoming a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

And he is only forty years old.

This speed of progress is even faster than that of Leng Yuexi back in the day.

She even doubted whether her husband truly had a Lower Grade Spirit Root, as how could he cultivate so quickly?

After all, she, with her dignified Five-element Spiritual Root, has yet to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage even now.

It is easy to imagine that the difficulty of cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm is simply extraordinary.

"There is still a long way to go."

"If one wishes to succeed in forming a Golden Core, one's Dharma Power must be perfected."

"And my Dantian Qi Sea is larger than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"Therefore, the Dharma Power that needs to be accumulated is greater, and the cultivation time required is also longer."

"It will likely take at least a dozen years of cultivation to reach the state of Foundation Establishment Perfection."

Zhou Sui shook his head.

His cultivation speed was not as fast as imagined; if it were not for the assistance of his two Golden Core Dao Companions, it would be considered good if he could have even advanced to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage by now.

How could he have reached the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage realm already?

After all, he is currently only a Five-element Spiritual Root.

"A dozen years is fast enough."

"If it were other Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators, they wouldn't even dream of reaching the state of perfection without fifty years of time."

"I fear it won't be long before Husband becomes the second Golden Core Cultivator of the Xianxia Sect."

Mu Ziyan looked at Zhou Sui with deep affection, her face full of joy.

If someone had told her when she was a child that her future husband might be a Golden Core Real Person, and that she would even be older than him, she would certainly have thought that person was insane.

This is something she couldn't even dream of.

"Given Husband's aptitude, forming a Golden Core is definitely not a problem."

Xia Jingyan clenched her small fists; she was full of confidence in Zhou Sui. Since the time she had known him, she had never seen anything her husband couldn't do; he was simply omnipotent.
