Chapter 65: 65: Core Formation Spirit Matters, The Battle of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator_l
While Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan were having dinner, they suddenly felt intense waves of battle emanating from across Misty Cloud City.
The entire city was shaking, accompanied by screams, wails, and curses.
The terrifying vibrations even rapidly spread out of the city.
“What’s going on? Why is a Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting?”
Zhou Sui’s pupils contracted.
He could sense the terrifying vibrations of battle. If he were to encounter this himself, he would almost certainly be doomed.
After all, he was only a Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer cultivator.
When faced with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was essentially insignificant, easily crushed.
To tell the truth, this was the first time he had sensed the devastating fighting power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. They were simply not something a Qi Cultivation cultivator could compare with; the difference in strength was too great.
“My lord, it may be related to today’s auction at the Xuanbao Tower. I heard that the final auction item was a Core Formation spiritual object. Many Foundation Establishment cultivators crazily bid for this item, and the price soared to millions of Lower Grade Spiritual Stones.”
“Although the item was finally won by a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Immortal Mist Sect, other Foundation Establishment cultivators obviously didn’t accept it and plotted to take action afterwards.”
“After all, this was an item that could aid in Core Formation. This was a matter of their cultivation path, no matter if their adversary was a cultivator from the Immortal Mist Sect, there would be no consideration of face.”
Ji Bingyu said that she had heard some news that after they left, the auction had successively presented extremely high-priced items.
Even first-rate Foundation Establishment pills could not compare to it.
After all, Foundation pills were only useful for Qi Cultivation cultivators, and they amounted to nothing to Foundation Establishment cultivators.
“A Core Formation spiritual object? That’s even more precious than a Foundation Pill. No wonder these Foundation Establishment cultivators are fighting so fiercely.”
Zhou Sui suddenly understood.
He was also extremely relieved, grateful that he had left in time, and had not foolishly stayed in place.
If he had remained at the auction, who knows what might have happened.
It seemed that he still needed to dig tunnels and build underground fortresses.
Otherwise, when the Foundation Establishment cultivators really attacked Misty Cloud City, he would have nowhere to hide.
Fortunately, one of his clones had already brought back a hundred Gold Eating Bugs to his side, at any time, he could start digging underground caves.
“Let’s begin.”
That night, Zhou Sui immediately ordered the Gold Eating Bugs to start digging tunnels in his backyard.
Suddenly, the Gold Eating Bugs began to devour the soil. They were like digging monsters, easily ingesting large amounts of soil into their bellies.
A tunnel large enough for a person to crawl through began to be dug out.
Immediately afterwards, hundreds of Gold Eating Bugs continued to burrow deeper and deeper into the ground.
Their efficiency was even more impressive than a digging machine.
He believed that in a few days, a deep enough cave would be dug under his house.
At that time, he could hide underground, and even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator came, they wouldn’t be able to find him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui felt a lot more at ease.
A few days later.
“My lord, I’ve figured out what happened a few days ago. The Core Formation spiritual object that was auctioned at Xuanbao Tower was Ice-fire Spiritual liquid. Its value exceeded a million Lower Grade Spiritual Stones and was won by Leng Yuexi, the Junior Sect Master of Immortal Mist Sect.”
Ji Bingyu relayed the news she had learned: “However, when she wanted to leave Misty Cloud City and return to the Immortal Mist Sect, she was ambushed by a group of unknown Foundation Establishment cultivators. Both sides fought fiercely. But in the end, Leng Yuexi managed to escape by a hair’s breadth and those unknown Loose Cultivators unfortunately failed to achieve their objective.”
“Young Sect Master Leng Yuexi of the Immortal Mist Sect? What’s her background?”
Zhou Sui asked curiously.
After all, he was previously just a low-level cultivator in Misty Cloud City. He didn’t know much about ordinary cultivators, even less about the bigwigs at the Foundation Establishment stage.
As for these well-known figures, he was virtually clueless.
“This Leng Yuexi is not simple at all. It’s said that even though she’s only eighty years old, her cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. She possesses a First Grade Spirit Root, a horrifying talent only second to the Heavenly Spirit Root.”
Ji Bingyu said solemnly, “At the same time, she is the daughter of the Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect. She’s publicized as the prodigy of the Immortal Mist Sect once in 500 years. If she successfully forms her Golden Core, she will be the next Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect.
Considering her aptitude and level of cultivation, if she obtains the corresponding objects needed for core formation, her success rate would exceed seventy percent. Then, the Immortal Mist Sect will have three Golden Core Masters.”
She sighed, such women could only be described as daughters of heaven.
Not only do they possess top-tier aptitudes by birth, but they also have astonishing backgrounds. From birth, they were given endless resources, a smooth cultivation path without significant hindrances.
Such figures are precisely sect saints, and the subject of everyone’s envy.”
“She’s only eighty years old but already a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. She also has a First Grade Spirit Root? She truly is a genius.” Zhou Sui could not hide his admiration.
He knew well how difficult it is for Foundation Establishment cultivators to practice. Even the ancestor of the Lu family in Misty Cloud City, after over two hundred years of practice, only managed to reach the late stages of Foundation Establishment.
As for forming a Golden Core, it was virtually impossible for him.
But Leng Yuexi, at the mere age of eighty, had already achieved the peak of Foundation Establishment.
If such a genius couldn’t form a Golden Core, then, no one could.
“But, what about that group of unknown Foundation Establishment cultivators? They dare to ambush the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, they’re essentially declaring themselves enemies of the Immortal Mist Sect. Would ordinary cultivators dare to do that?”
Zhou Sui instinctively realized the matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
After all, Leng Yuexi is not just any ordinary cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment. She has two Golden Core Masters backing her.
The consequences of angering the Immortal Mist Sect could be imagined.
“That’s right, I also had the same thoughts. There must be more to this story. Maybe an-other sect is involved, wishing to kill the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect.”
“After all, no one wants to see the Immortal Mist Sect give birth to another Golden Core.”
“If Leng Yuexi truly becomes a Golden Core Master, the future of the Immortal Mist Sect will prosper for another five hundred years.”
Ji Bingyu spoke solemnly, voicing her suspicions.
“Could the Ghost Demon Sect have involved?
Zhou Sui had a thought.
“It’s unclear, but according to the intelligence you’ve mentioned earlier, there’s a high chance the Ghost Demon Sect is behind it.”
“Perhaps there are traces of other sects too.”
“But no matter what, if this is true, then chaos will soon break out in Misty Cloud City.”
“Misty Cloud City may even become the epicenter of a war between the two great sects.”
Ji Bingyu voiced her concerns earnestly.
“Don’t worry, didn’t we prepare for such situations with all our previous actions?”
Zhou Sui comforted.
In the past few months, he had already spent a considerable amount of spirit stones to purchase over ten years’ worth of Spirit Rice and monster meat.
All these were stored in the Gu Divine Bowl.
If war truly broke out, he could just hide in his cave. Even if he stayed there for more than a decade, there wouldn’t be any issues.
He didn’t believe that a war between the two sects could last for a decade..
