Chapter 50: Wool-Shearing the Xianxia Sect, Collecting Interest First

Soon, Zhang Cheng said his goodbyes and left; after obtaining the Spirit Stones, he wanted to purchase a High-grade Detoxification Pill as quickly as possible.

Zhou Sui, meanwhile, had returned home.

"What do you all think of what Uncle Zhang just said?"

Zhou Sui looked at his three wives and concubines, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan; after all, the three women also had high cultivation levels, and although they were inside the house, they surely must have heard Zhang Cheng's words outside.

"I think there is at least a seventy percent chance it is true. The appearance of the Red Gold Mine has greatly stimulated the surrounding sects, including the Demonic Sects, because Red Gold is extremely important. If added to a Dharma Artifact, it can increase the artifact's power by thirty percent. This will inevitably greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the ordinary cultivators of the Xianxia Sect, and other sects cannot possibly watch the Xianxia Sect grow stronger."

"If they were to sell the Red Gold, the wealth earned would also be quite staggering."

"In fact, I have also heard other cultivators mention similar things, saying that perhaps there is a Demonic Sect invasion, but many cultivators do not take it to heart, stating that with the Xianxia Sect backing them, a mere Demonic Sect is nothing."

"The problem is, the Xianxia Sect might not suffer any major damage, but for us Loose Cultivators, it is hard to say."

Ji Bingyu said in a deep voice.

"In that case, should we leave Miyun City immediately?"

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

To tell the truth, he did not have much resistance to leaving Miyun City.

The so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; if Miyun City were truly too dangerous, then leaving would not be out of the question.

"No, I don't think we should leave Miyun City for the time being."

Xia Jingyan shook her head: "Although it might be true that the Demonic Sect intends to attack the Xianxia Sect, the Demonic Sect may have already arrived near the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. Even if we wanted to leave now, we might not be able to leave safely."

"You mean that the area around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is already filled with Demonic Sect cultivators, and if anyone dares to leave, they will be intercepted and killed by them?" Hearing this, Zhou Sui was startled and immediately thought of this possibility.

"That's right, this is indeed a very high possibility."

Ji Bingyu nodded: "If I were a Demonic Sect cultivator, I would definitely ambush the area around the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, specifically targeting those Loose Cultivators who want to flee. Kill one for every one that escapes, and make a fortune on the side."

"Moreover, because they are Loose Cultivators, the Xianxia Sect won't pay too much attention to them; it doesn't matter how many die. So compared to fleeing, staying in Miyun City is safer."

"After all, Miyun City has a Second-Tier Array, and if it is controlled by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it can at least withstand the siege of a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and even withstand one or two attacks from an ordinary Golden Core Real Person."

"You have to know, this place is also considered property of the Xianxia Sect, and its location is crucial. The Xianxia Sect will not abandon this city and let those Demonic Sect cultivators do whatever they want."

She felt that staying in Miyun City was safer; at least there were many cultivators here, and it was protected by a Second-Tier Array.

No matter what, it was safer than the wilderness.

"What you say makes a lot of sense; it seems staying in Miyun City is indeed safer."

Zhou Sui was also deeply convinced.

Even if they really encountered a siege by the Demonic Sect, with the Second-Tier Array of Miyun City, the Demonic Sect would not be able to break in easily.

Even if they did break in eventually, there were many cultivators in this city, and he could take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Right, a tunnel; perhaps it was time to dig an escape tunnel and underground cavern.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his previous plan, which was to dig a tunnel hundreds of meters deep into the ground beneath his home.

If danger really occurred, he would run away through the tunnel at the first opportunity; even the Demonic Sect would not be able to catch up to him.

It just so happened that he had refined the Gold-Eating Insect, and he could use the power of the Gold-Eating Insect to dig the tunnel.

"No, the Gold-Eating Insect has just been born, and its strength is still too weak. It needs to consume a large amount of mineral ore to grow rapidly."

"The Red Gold Mine; perhaps I can place the Gold-Eating Insect in the Red Gold Mine to consume a large amount of Red Gold and accelerate its growth."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui's eyes suddenly lit up.

To tell the truth, the Gold-Eating Insect's appetite was simply too large; in these few days, it had almost eaten all the Dharma Artifact materials he had on him. Even if he possessed a large number of Spirit Stones, it couldn't keep eating like this.

Sooner or later, it would eat him into poverty.

Previously, he had considered how to feed the Gold-Eating Insect; relying solely on the Spirit Stones he had on him, there was no way he could afford such a bottomless pit.

But if he placed the Gold-Eating Insect in the Xianxia Sect's Red Gold Mine, it could just happen to steal and eat the Red Gold ore inside.

By then, not only would he not need to spend a single cent, but he could also accelerate the growth of the Gold-Eating Insect.

It could be called killing two birds with one stone.

"Not bad, not bad, this method is not bad. The Xianxia Sect forcibly requisitioned my house and even forced me to pay rent; they are clearly sucking my blood and eating my flesh."

"Now my Gold-Eating Insect can also take action, consume a large amount of Red Gold, and collect some interest on the side."

Zhou Sui was very excited.

You have to know, one jin of Red Gold could be sold for hundreds of Low-grade Spirit Stones; if it could consume dozens of jin, or even a hundred kilograms, then he would have completely broken even.

It wasn't just as simple as breaking even; he could also make a huge profit. It could be called a business with no capital investment.

Moreover, consuming special metals like Red Gold would also cause the strength of the Gold-Eating Insect to receive a huge boost.

Of course, his main body would not take action personally; it would be enough to let his clone take the Gold-Eating Insect to the Red Gold Mine.

He could also let his clone investigate whether there were really Demonic Sect cultivators hiding in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Even if the clone died, it wouldn't matter; if he could obtain useful information, that would be a great harvest.

"Husband, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?"

Ji Bingyu looked curiously at the excited Zhou Sui.

"I'm thinking that the situation has been getting more and more dangerous lately, so it's better to improve our cultivation as soon as possible. Therefore, we will have to work hard these days and engage in Dual Cultivation more often. By then, our cultivation will be able to improve rapidly, and perhaps I will soon be able to advance to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer realm." Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

He looked at his three wives and concubines.

Especially Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyan; after his cultivation, they had become increasingly mature and charming, and they had even learned many techniques.

Of course, the one who had improved the most was Xia Jingyan. Although the number of times they had engaged in Dual Cultivation was not high, she possessed an Inner Charm Body and could be called naturally gifted; one of her was worth two or three others, and she was truly incomparably fierce.

"Pah, shameless. What rapid improvement in cultivation; you just want to bully us."

"Husband, Miyun City is about to collapse, and you're still thinking about such things. What on earth are you thinking?"

Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyan's pretty faces turned crimson, and they said quite indignantly.

"Hmph, weakling."

Xia Jingyan didn't say anything, just let out a cold snort, looking at Zhou Sui with what seemed to be great contempt. She didn't know which man it was who was always full of vigor at the start, but always left her room with weak legs in the end, even saying he couldn't do it anymore.

What?!

Seeing that look of disdain, Zhou Sui clenched his fists, feeling so angry inside; he would let this woman know his prowess in a moment.

But then again, he really had to hurry and find a Body Refining Technique.

Otherwise, he truly wouldn't be able to hold up; a woman with an Inner Charm Body was just too fierce.
