Chapter 276: Obtaining the Nascent Soul Pill Again, the Storage Bag of a Nascent Soul Cultivator
To be honest, the moment she saw Zhou Sui, she was also momentarily stunned.
She was almost bewitched by Zhou Sui's beauty.
After all, as the Infatuation Gu had advanced to the Tier 4 Upper Grade realm, its remodeling of Zhou Sui had become increasingly astonishing.
Firstly, his appearance was already world-class, as if he were the very embodiment of beauty.
Secondly, there was the temperament he exuded—sometimes domineering, sometimes gentle, sometimes heroic, or perhaps the spirit of a scholar.
In short, whatever temperament a woman liked, he would automatically transform into it.
A thousand faces for a thousand people.
After all, the men that different women like are not the same.
Some like the rugged type, some like the younger brother type, some like the frail scholar, and some like the mature, wealthy man; in short, they are all different.
No matter how handsome a man is, it is impossible for him to be liked by everyone like a Spirit Stone.
However, the power of the Infatuation Gu is different; it transforms Zhou Sui's temperament into something ever-changing, a thousand faces for a thousand people.
Whatever a woman likes, he will manifest it.
As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect and a Great Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Qian Ziyun was naturally not so easily bewitched, but even so, she was shocked by her own momentary lapse.
Normally, a female Cultivator of her level should not have experienced such a situation.
"A Demon Gate Secret Technique? I haven't actually practiced much of that."
"I just happened to obtain a secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect by chance, the Phantom Demon Transformation Art."
"I have also practiced this secret technique to a very high level."
Zhou Sui said honestly.
As he spoke, he moved his mind, and a Sub-Gu left on his clone silently submerged into Qian Ziyun's body.
Having reached the Tier 4 Upper Grade realm, the Infatuation Gu was no longer something a Nascent Soul Cultivator could perceive.
Even a Great Cultivator like Qian Ziyun could not.
"Phantom Demon Transformation Art?"
"This is a supreme secret technique that only Inner Sect Disciples of my Heavenly Demon Sect are qualified to practice."
"To think you obtained it; it seems you once encountered a Disciple of my Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Of course, this technique is extremely difficult to practice."
"If one lacks talent, even a True Disciple cannot reach the Beginner stage."
"I didn't expect you to have learned it; it seems you and my Heavenly Demon Sect have some affinity."
"Are you interested in joining my Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Hearing this, Qian Ziyun looked at Zhou Sui's expression, seemingly feeling increasingly satisfied.
She felt that this man was simply a natural demon cultivator, seemingly possessing an innate charm.
If he were to cooperate with the various demonic arts of the Heavenly Demon Sect, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
In the future, he would certainly become a great general of the Heavenly Demon Sect, elevating the power of the Heavenly Demon Sect to the extreme.
Of course, she didn't think much of the fact that the other party had obtained the Phantom Demon Transformation Art.
The Heavenly Demon Sect had plenty of similar secret techniques, and some had leaked out.
"Sorry, I am already a Disciple of the Xianxia Sect."
"I am afraid I cannot join the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Zhou Sui refused flatly; he naturally could not join a place like the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The Heavenly Demon Sect was rampant with demon cultivators, and there was no telling how many fiends were hidden within.
Once inside, there was no telling how much intrigue he would be dragged into.
It was better for him to stay in the Xianxia Sect, cultivating peacefully and advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.
After all, he lacked neither cultivation resources nor techniques.
Why bother wading into these muddy waters?
"Xianxia Sect? Which Nascent Soul Sect is that?"
Qian Ziyun was stunned.
"It is not a Nascent Soul Sect, just a Golden Core Sect."
Zhou Sui explained.
Hearing this, Qian Ziyun suddenly laughed; she did not expect this man to refuse her for the sake of a mere Golden Core Sect. Did this man not know what a great opportunity he had missed?
But for some reason, her favor for the man before her grew higher and higher.
"Are you serious?"
"A mere Golden Core Sect."
"Whether it is inherited techniques or cultivation resources, it is far from comparable to a Nascent Soul Sect."
"Although my Heavenly Demon Sect is a Demon Sect and has a poor reputation in the Canglan Sea."
"But no one dares to look down on the Cultivators of my Heavenly Demon Sect."
"Join my Heavenly Demon Sect, and you will have a great hope of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Are you planning to give up the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul?"
Qian Ziyun looked at Zhou Sui deeply with her beautiful eyes, seemingly containing a hint of seduction.
For some reason, the more this man refused her, the more she wanted to pull him into her Heavenly Demon Sect.
The purer the man, the more she wanted to corrupt him.
"I can form a Nascent Soul without joining the Heavenly Demon Sect."
"The Xianxia Sect is only a Golden Core Sect now."
"But in the future, it will surely become a Nascent Soul Sect, or even a Deity Transformation Sect."
"The Heavenly Demon Sect probably wasn't a Nascent Soul Sect from the very beginning, was it?"
Zhou Sui said indifferently, looking at Qian Ziyun.
"You certainly have high ambitions."
"To think you actually want to develop the Xianxia Sect into a Transformation God Sect."
"Very well, since you are unwilling, then I will not force you."
"As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet; if you change your mind in the future, you can come find me again."
Qian Ziyun smiled, not continuing to force Zhou Sui to join.
"Master, why have you come here?"
Chu Dieyi finally found an opportunity to interject, looking at her master with curiosity.
"It is quite normal; naturally, it is for the Kurong Sect Transformation God Relic."
"This Transformation God Relic is said to contain Fourth-tier Pills, and even Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicine."
"These are Treasures that hold immense benefits, even for those of us at the Nascent Soul Late Stage."
"Therefore, this trip to the Transformation God Relic is imperative."
"Of course, it is not just me; many Nascent Soul old monsters in this sea area have set out as well."
Qian Ziyun said as a matter of course.
The reason she left the Heavenly Demon Sect was precisely for this Transformation God Relic.
Only a Transformation God Relic could make her feel moved.
"However, the reason I followed behind you..."
"Naturally, it was because I sensed that you were plagued by misfortune."
"Perhaps a calamity might descend, so I was protecting your path from behind."
"I didn't expect you to have a protector; it seems I have done something superfluous."
Qian Ziyun looked at Chu Dieyi with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Clearly, even if Zhou Sui had not acted, with Qian Ziyun by her side, Chu Dieyi would have turned danger into safety.
Hearing this, Chu Dieyi's pretty face flushed red, and she was so shy she could barely speak.
It was the first time she had been so embarrassed in front of her master.
After all, she was raised by her master, who could be considered both teacher and mother.
"Cough, cough, Senior, I think you still need to be very careful."
"That Transformation God Relic is unfathomable and protected by a Five-Tier Array."
"Even for a Nascent Soul Cultivator at the Late Stage, entering it is fraught with danger."
"If possible, Senior, it would be best not to rashly step into the relic."
Zhou Sui coughed and spoke to offer a warning.
After all, he did not want such a beauty to perish within the Transformation God Relic.
"Hmm, thank you for your advice; I will take note."
"Then I shall not disturb you both any longer; may we meet again if fate allows."
Qian Ziyun took a deep look at Zhou Sui.
With a 'whoosh', she transformed into a black stream of light and instantly vanished into this sea area.
Clearly, Qian Ziyun's speed was extremely fast.
Almost in the blink of an eye, she had fled hundreds of miles away, and Zhou Sui could no longer see her graceful figure.
It must be said that this Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect is indeed a deadly femme fatale.
No wonder she enjoys such a great reputation in the Canglan Sea; many Nascent Soul Cultivators have fallen for her tricks.
If his will were not firm, he might have been unable to hold himself back.
Of course, no matter how powerful Qian Ziyun's demonic arts are, they cannot compare to the power of the Infatuation Gu.
Sooner or later, he would have to conquer this woman.
"Finally gone."
At this very moment, seeing Qian Ziyun's figure disappear into the sea area, Chu Dieyi let out a sigh of relief, her expression relaxing significantly.
It was as if she had seen her teacher leave, and her mood was no longer as tense as before.
"Why does it seem like you are very afraid of your master?"
Zhou Sui suddenly felt it was a bit amusing; it was the first time he had seen the lawless demoness Chu Dieyi show such an expression, just like a student who had made a mistake, barely daring to breathe.
She had completely turned into the likeness of a quail.
"I am not afraid, but respectful; do you understand what respect is?"
"How can this be called fear?"
Hearing this, Chu Dieyi's pretty face flushed red, and she stomped her feet in anger.
But there was nothing to be done about it.
She had been picked up by her master Qian Ziyun when she was small and raised with discipline; the fear was already deep in her marrow.
Even though she was now a Nascent Soul Cultivator, she could not shake off this feeling.
"Fine, fine, fine, it is respect, not fear."
Zhou Sui waved his hands repeatedly, not teasing her further.
"But it was strange just now; it seems Master's attitude was incredibly good."
"This doesn't seem to fit her usual personality."
"I originally thought I would be scolded severely."
Chu Dieyi looked puzzled; she instinctively sensed that her master seemed a bit different from usual.
But she couldn't figure out exactly what was different.
"Alright, alright, this is just a small matter, let's head back to the Xianxia Sect first."
The Zhou Sui clone grabbed Chu Dieyi.
Whoosh!
He used the Teleportation Gu, and in the blink of an eye, he brought Chu Dieyi back to Xianxia Peak of the Xianxia Sect.
In any case, the Teleportation Gu had accumulated a lot of Void Energy now, so there was no need to worry about wasting it.
After bringing Chu Dieyi back, this clone instantly dissipated.
"Sister Chu, you're finally back."
At this moment, Ji Bingyu and the others, who were staying on Xianxia Peak, also looked at Chu Dieyi with pleasant surprise.
They hadn't expected Chu Dieyi to return at this time; it was truly an unexpected joy.
Immediately, the women began chatting away, completely ignoring Zhou Sui.
Zhou Sui looked innocent; now he had become the third wheel instead.
However, he wasn't idle either; after all, he had just obtained the Storage Bags of three Nascent Soul Cultivators, and he hadn't checked the treasures inside these Storage Bags yet.
Thinking of this, his divine sense stirred, and he immediately began to explore the treasures inside the Storage Bags.
"No way, there are actually this many Top-grade Spirit Stones?!"
At the first moment, Zhou Sui noticed that the three Storage Bags contained a large amount of Top-grade Spirit Stones.
After counting carefully, there were seven hundred and eighty in total.
To be honest, this was already a quite astonishing amount.
If these Top-grade Spirit Stones were sold, one could certainly obtain quite a lot of treasures.
But not many Cultivators would be foolish enough to sell Top-grade Spirit Stones.
To a certain extent, Top-grade Spirit Stones were no longer as simple as ordinary Spirit Stones, but were treasures that could be recharged infinitely, so their value was naturally quite astonishing.
Besides the seven hundred and eighty Top-grade Spirit Stones, there were also eight hundred and fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones.
After all, these Top-grade Spirit Stones could not be spent, and no Nascent Soul Cultivator would be willing to spend them.
Therefore, High-grade Spirit Stones remained the mainstream currency for Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Of course, Nascent Soul Cultivators didn't have much cash like Spirit Stones on them either.
They basically converted Spirit Stones into various Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicines, Fourth-Tier materials, Fourth-Tier Pills, and so on.
Basically, not many Nascent Soul Cultivators could save up money.
Being able to find over eight hundred thousand High-grade Spirit Stones was already quite a good harvest.
"I'm rich, I'm rich."
"There are actually so many Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills, and even four Nascent Soul Pills."
Zhou Sui was very excited.
He found many, many Fourth-Tier Pills from the Storage Bags; one could only say that they were worthy of being Nascent Soul Elders of the Xuanyin Sect, as they were truly too wealthy.
Inside, there were four Nascent Soul Pills in total.
One must know that Nascent Soul Pills were worth a fortune, and were hot commodities even among Nascent Soul Cultivators.
After all, which Nascent Soul Cultivator didn't have a few descendants?
Even if one didn't use the Nascent Soul Pill oneself, giving it to one's descendants was a good thing, as it could at least increase the probability of forming a Nascent Soul.
At the very least, Nascent Soul Pills were also hard currency and could be exchanged for many treasures.
"Adding the three Nascent Soul Pills I obtained on Julu Island earlier, I now have seven Nascent Soul Pills in total."
Zhou Sui was very moved.
If it were other Cultivators, they might risk their lives and still not necessarily obtain a single Nascent Soul Pill.
But now, he had seven Nascent Soul Pills on him.
There would be no problem eating them like candy.
If other Cultivators saw this scene, they would probably be furious.
When comparing people, the gap was truly too large.
However, obtaining Nascent Soul Pills was not as simple as imagined.
One must know that these were obtained from Nascent Soul Cultivators.
How could ordinary Cultivators possibly kill a Nascent Soul Ancestor and obtain Nascent Soul Pills from them?
Don't even dream of such a thing happening.
Only a monster like Zhou Sui could accomplish such a thing.
"Nascent Soul Pills are still too few; it would be better if there were a few more."
Zhou Sui touched his chin and thought with a bit of insatiable greed.
This couldn't be blamed on him; after all, he currently had eleven Dao Companions, two of whom had formed Nascent Souls.
There were still nine who hadn't formed Nascent Souls.
A mere seven Nascent Soul Pills were still relatively few.
Although the three women, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan, were only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and hadn't formed a Pill yet.
But this was only a matter of time, and it was necessary to plan ahead.
Of course, if he could advance to a Fourth-tier Alchemist, then he could refine the Nascent Soul Pills himself without needing to rely on others.
"There's actually Qingming Pill again; is this the standard pill for Nascent Soul Cultivators?"
Zhou Sui blinked his eyes.
He also found three bottles of the Fourth-tier Pill, Qingming Pill, inside the Storage Bag.
Clearly, they had originally bought them to consume themselves, but now they all went cheaply to Zhou Sui.
Of course, besides the pills, he also found numerous Fourth-Tier Spirit Medicine and Fourth-tier materials.
At the same time, he also obtained a middle-grade Spirit Treasure, the Ghost Controlling Banner; this Spirit Treasure can command ten thousand ghosts and has infinite power.
There was also a Bone Giant Sword, a Low-Grade Spirit Treasure, which is indestructible, sharp-edged, and contains the power of bones.
The Low-Grade Defense Spirit Treasure, Black Iron Flying Shield, came from Qi Heng's body.
Although this Low-Grade Spirit Treasure cannot block Soul attacks, it can easily block spell attacks and physical attacks.
It can be considered a pretty good Dharma Treasure.
Even if he does not use it himself, selling it would likely be worth a fortune.
However, he naturally would not be willing to sell such a defensive Dharma Treasure.
Even if he does not use it, giving it to his Dao Companion to use is the same.
After all, his Dao Companions currently do not have many Treasures of the Spirit Treasure grade.
