Chapter 97: The Lu Family Scripture Pavilion, the Tunnel Leading to the Lu Family

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

During this month, Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan all lived within the Underground Shelter.

Life was also very monotonous.

Cultivation, Dual Cultivation, cultivation, Dual Cultivation; it was almost a straight line between two points.

It was actually not much different from life above ground, except for the lack of sunlight.

For homebodies like Zhou Sui and the others, they had long since become accustomed to it.

On the contrary, without the disturbance of others, they felt even more at ease and wished they could stay here until the end of time.

"Husband, how is the situation in Miyun City now?"

Ji Bingyu asked curiously.

She would ask about the current state of Miyun City every few days; after all, Zhou Sui had five clones staying in every corner of Miyun City, monitoring every move within it.

Although they stayed in the Underground Shelter, they still had a thorough grasp of the affairs in Miyun City.

"Very bad."

Zhou Sui thought for a moment, recalling the intelligence brought back by his Clone Gu: "Although the Xianxia Sect and the Lu Family used despicable means to forcibly conscript all Loose Cultivators, forcing them to join the Patrol Guard, and even using poison to control them.

But the situation in Miyun City has not fundamentally changed, because the offensive of the Youmo Sect is becoming increasingly intense, and a large amount of Spirit Stones must be consumed every day to maintain the operation of the Array Formation.

Once the Spirit Stones in the city are completely exhausted, this Array Formation will naturally collapse on its own, and by then, the Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect will likely be unable to save the situation."

Although the Second-tier Array is very powerful, a clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

If there are no Spirit Stones as an energy source, the Array Formation cannot operate.

Even with the Underground Spirit Vein as a supplementary energy source, the problem is that the Spirit Qi of the Underground Spirit Vein is not inexhaustible.

When consumption exceeds replenishment, that is when the Array Formation will collapse.

The Youmo Sect is also very clear about this, which is why they attack day and night without stopping.

Now, the Miyun City Patrol Guard is basically working in three shifts, and many Cultivators are stationed at the Array Nodes to maintain the operation of the Array Formation, fearing that some accident might occur.

"If that's the case, then Miyun City is definitely doomed; when the Array Formation is broken, they certainly won't be able to escape."

"I heard that the Lu Family is a two-hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment family, and they also possess Miyun City; they can be said to be wealthy beyond measure."

"If Miyun City is breached, perhaps we can fish in troubled waters and seize the Lu Family's wealth."

A glimmer of light appeared in Xia Jingyan's beautiful eyes.

She still had fresh memories of the Lu Family's overbearing and unreasonable nature; if they hadn't run fast and built the Underground Shelter in advance, then they would likely have had their lives controlled by the Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect.

For such enemies, she naturally wanted to kick them while they were down and loot them while their house was on fire.

"Why wait for Miyun City to be breached? Perhaps we can go and steal the Lu Family's treasury now."

Mu Ziyan blinked her eyes: "Can't Husband dig tunnels? We could completely dig to the vicinity of the Lu Residence, and then we could tunnel through the Lu Family's underground treasury and secretly steal the Treasures inside."

She offered her suggestion.

"Not bad, this suggestion is not bad."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui's eyes lit up immediately; it had to be said that this suggestion was quite feasible.

If they waited until after Miyun City was destroyed, the Lu Family treasury would likely have already been taken away by the relevant members of the Lu Family.

At that time, even if they wanted to reach the treasury, it would be too late.

Moreover, he himself had been coveting the Lu Family treasury for a long time.

Especially regarding the inheritance of a Second-tier Pill master, he was absolutely determined to obtain it.

If there were no Second-tier Pill master inheritance, he wouldn't know how long it would take to become a Second-tier Pill master.

One must know that the three women, Mu Ziyan, Xia Jingyan, and Ji Bingyu, due to several years of bitter cultivation, had long since reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Perfection, only one step away from Foundation Establishment.

The reason they hadn't reached Foundation Establishment now was simply because the success rate of Foundation Establishment was only fifty percent.

They were all waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In fact, this was also the norm for Qi Refining Perfection Cultivators; they usually spent a lot of time waiting for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Otherwise, once Foundation Establishment failed, that would be the end of their lives.

There was no need to rush for a moment.

"By the way, I seem to have obtained the memories of a Lu Family Cultivator."

At this moment, Zhou Sui also remembered his previous encounter; he had once killed a few Lu Family Cultivators and had used the Dream Soul Gu to search their memories, obtaining a large amount of intelligence.

Among them was news about the Lu Family treasury.

According to the memories of those few Lu Family Cultivators, there was a Scripture Pavilion inside the Lu Family residence, which housed various cultivation techniques, secret manuals, and arts collected by the Lu Family over the past two hundred years.

It could be said that such an inheritance was no worse than that of a small sect.

"If it's a place where a large amount of Pills, Spirit Medicine, and Dharma Artifacts are hidden, it must be heavily guarded."

"It would be very difficult to steal it secretly."

"But if it's the Scripture Pavilion, perhaps it would be easier to succeed."

Zhou Sui stroked his chin.

To be honest, he was very interested in the secret manuals collected by the Lu Family.

Among them, there was not only the Second-tier Pill master inheritance; those secret manuals he had never seen before could also be given to the Book Gu to devour, which would also increase the power of the Book Gu.

It might even increase the time for his enlightenment, which could be said to be killing many birds with one stone.

…………

A few days later.

With the help of the power of the Gold-Eating Insect, Zhou Sui directly excavated a tunnel from the Underground Shelter leading to the Lu Family residence.

And through several days of investigation, he had also figured out the location of the Lu Family's Scripture Pavilion.

This underground tunnel was even located directly beneath the Scripture Pavilion.

Even if the Lu Family Cultivators racked their brains, they would never imagine that an underground passage had actually appeared right under their noses.

"As expected, although it is only the Lu Family Scripture Pavilion, there are still a few Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators guarding it."

"Besides that, the Scripture Pavilion also has a Forbidden Array guarding it; once triggered, it will surely alert the entire Lu Family."

"Most importantly, that Lu Family Foundation Establishment Ancestor is actually not dead yet, so I must not act rashly."

Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.

Through the power of his divine sense, he could perceive the situation of many Lu Family Cultivators.

He also perceived that in a certain courtyard deep within the Lu Family, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator seemed to be residing.

It was just that the other party's aura was weak, and they seemed to be nearing the end of their life.

However, no matter how near the end of their life they were, they were still a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with formidable strength.

It was just like a tiger.

The closer a tiger is to death, the more terrifying its attack power becomes.

A single moment of carelessness, and one could die at the hands of the fierce tiger.

"I still cannot be anxious; I will wait for the Youmo Sect to attack."

"Once the Array Formation is broken, I can enter the Lu Family to scavenge for Treasure."

"I must be a little more patient."

"Patience is the best quality for immortal cultivation."

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui immediately calmed his heart.

For him, whether this matter succeeded or not was not that important.

If it truly could not be done, he would not force it.

He preferred to go with the flow.

"Hm?! What are these Lu Family Elders doing?"

Just at this moment, Zhou Sui's divine sense perceived that in the Lu Mansion on the ground, many Lu Family Elders were holding a meeting, and his divine sense approached silently, perceiving the voices inside.
