Chapter 114 - 114 Building a Stone House, Cultivator of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range l
Several more days passed.
The valley had basically been arranged by Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, Xia Jingyan, and Leng Yuexi, among others.
A first-order defensive array, a spirit gathering array, an illusory array and an attack array had been set up throughout the valley; even a first-order demon beast charging in would be annihilated by the arrays.
Inside the valley, a massive stone house had appeared, consisting of at least seven or eight rooms.
For cultivators, building a stone house is the most convenient.
They just needed to stack large stones and reinforced them with skills, without any need for a foundation. A flawless stone house could be quickly constructed.
Although it might look basic, it was enough to shelter them from wind and rain.
After a week of reconstruction, this temporary residence was quite handy.
The demon beasts that attempted to intrude the valley were killed one after another by Leng Yuexi, demonstrating the mighty power of a foundation establishment cultivator.
This led to a large increase in their meat reserves.
At this moment, inside the master room of the stone house …
The room was aglow with spring brightness, as if spring had arrived.
Zhou Sui and his three companions were wrapped in each other’s arms, surrounded by an enormous vortex of nature’s spiritual energy, an indication that they were quite satisfied with the result of this Laotong practice.
Since leaving the underground shelter, they had resumed their life on the surface.
Everyone was happy.
After all, humans are creatures that belong to the surface; even if they had to hide underground for safety, it was an unwilling choice.
They preferred a life with sunlight.
Because of that, their long-awaited life on the surface made their fighting in the stone house even more vigorous.
“My lord, your body’s really growing stronger,”
Ji Bingyu said, with eyes full of intense attraction as she gazed at Zhou Sui.
Undeniably, ever since the birth of the Dragon Elephant Gu, Zhou Sui had been receiving a touch of Dragon Elephant Blood Power every month. This had visibly improved his physical constitution.
As time went on, his strength, speed, and endurance had become exceptionally greater than typical body cultivators.
It was like the power of the Dragon Elephant was reviving within him.
And this led to his growing ferocity.
“Your constitution has also improved a lot in this period, and your Qi and blood should have reached perfection by now,”
Zhou Sui said, as he ran his hand over their skin as smooth as silk.
In fact, not only had his physical constitution improved but also those of his three companions.
During the Laotong practice, strands of mysterious blood energy would flow into his companions’ bodies, strengthening their physical constitution as well.
Although they didn’t improve as much as Zhou Sui, they were still much stronger than average body cultivators.
“That’s right, I feel much more powerful and my stamina has greatly increased. I’ve entered the realm of perfect Qi and blood, and even the Dan poison in my body is nearly fully eradicated. I’ve basically reached the realm of perfect Qi and blood,” Mu Ziyi nodded.
Originally, they had consumed many pills during cultivation, with a lot of Dan poison left in their bodies.
But after each Laotong practice, their bodies would expel a trace amount of black mud, which was all the impurities from their bodies.
Under normal circumstances, these impurities would be difficult to remove.
But now, the power of Laotong has reduced the impurities and Dan poison in their bodies.
Their bodies felt as if they had been restored to their original, innate state.
They felt increasingly relieved and lighter.
“To be honest, we’ve all basically reached the perfection realm of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. Qi, Mana, and Spiritual Sense are all perfected, and we are ready to try to establish a foundation,” Xia Jingyan gleefully said.
Honestly, a few years ago, she couldn’t have anticipated that she’d be able to try to establish a foundation so quickly.
But ever since she started being with Zhou Sui, her cultivation has sped up tremendously, with the Qi Gate, the Mana Gate, and the Spiritual Sense Gate all reaching their perfection realm.
Such a profound foundation could only be comparable to a True Disciple of the sect.
“In that case, you only lack a foundation pill.”
“Don’t worry, we’ve come to Yunwu Mountain, which is home to many second stage demon beasts.”
“With Senior Leng’s help, we are bound to obtain some second order demon cores.”
“Then, I’ll be able to help you create the foundation pills.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fist.
“Thank you, my lord.”
Ji Bingyu, Xia Jingyan, and Mu Ziyi all gazed at Zhou Sui with eyes full of affection.
They were touched.
Usually, after Cultivators create a foundation pill, they use it themselves.
Only after advancing to the Establishment Foundation stage, they might allow their companions to use them. That’s a common thing.
Nobody would expect a husband who hasn’t succeeded in foundation establishment to let his wife establish the foundation first.
This must be because the Lord loves us a lot, that he would make such a choice.
Thinking of this, their affection deepened, on the verge of overflowing.
“Huh?!”
Suddenly, Zhou Sui’s heart stirred. He sensed fluctuations in the array that enveloped the valley, as though a few auras were quickly approaching from a distance to the entrance of the valley.
But the few auras stopped, hesitating as if they were worried about something, and didn’t dare to act recklessly.
“My lord, there are cultivators outside,” Xia Jingyan said gravely. Clearly, she noticed the four or five auras outside. Among them, one aura had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, which can only belong to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Fortunately, they also had a Foundation Establishment Cultivator here; otherwise, they might be already in trouble.
Zhou Sui also had a hunch.
Although Yunwu Mountain is sparsely populated, it doesn’t mean that there are no cultivators.
Truthfully, Yunwu Mountain is home to many demon beasts, thus making it resource-rich.
As long as one can survive here, the gains would be substantial.
This has also led many powerful cultivators to venture deep into Yunwu Mountain, hoping for significant gains.
So, anyone who appears here special and should not be underestimated.
“Let’s go and check it out first.”
With a thought, Zhou Sui made his clone replace him and go outside.
After all, it was too risky for the original body to go out in this uncertain situation.
By letting his clone go, they would be left with room for maneuver should danger arise.
Whoosh!
Just a moment later, the clone transformed into Zhou Sui and stood at the entrance of the valley alone.
Immediately, he spotted the five cultivators at the valley entrance, one old man and four young men.
The one in the white robe was the Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other four, around 20 or 30 years old, were all at the Late Qi Cultivation stage with their cultivation at least at the Qi Cultivation Seventh or Eighth Layer. They were not simple characters.
“I wonder what brought you fellow Daoists here?” Zhou Sui asked, standing calmly before the other cultivators.
“Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Shen Wan, a member of the Shen family. These accompany me are my family brothers, and this is the old Shen family ancestor, Shen Sheng, also at the Foundation Establishment stage. This time, we sensed the presence of fellow Daoist nearby and wanted to come over and say hello. Please don’t take offence,” said the middle-aged cultivator, named Shen Wan..
