Chapter 123 - 123 - The Constitution Favored by Witches, Invitation to Explore the Golden Core Cave Dwellingi
For five or six consecutive days, Zhou Sui was mainly engaged in dual cultivation with Leng Yuexi.
They were, after all, newlyweds and were hence enthusiastic about this practice.
Of course, this type of dual cultivation was tremendously beneficial for both Zhou Sui and Leng Yuexi.
“My dear, I feel like my physical strength seems to be improving.”
“Even the physical deficit caused by the severe Blue Demon poison previously has been totally replenished.”
“And it has improved beyond that.”
“No wonder the girls find dual cultivation with you so enjoyable. It’s because it has such great benefits.”
Leng Yuexi was genuinely delighted because after decades of dual cultivation with Zhou Sui, she felt herself growing stronger. Her recovery was comparable to that of a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The physical deficit resulting from the severe poison was not only replenished but enhanced further.
She felt that without several years, it would have been impossible to make up for the deficit in her body.
But several days of dual cultivation with Zhou Sui brought about full recovery. This was truly unthinkable.
Undoubtedly, this man before her has an unimaginable constitution, offering substantial benefits for female cultivators, hence yielding these effects.
If knowledge of Zhou Sui’s physical constitution were to become public, then surely countless Witches of the Demon Sects would pay significant attention, and may even want to kidnap Zhou Sui for their use.
After all, these Demon Sect female cultivators lack moral scruples; they would do anything to enhance their own cultivation.
If Zhou Sui were to fall into the hands of these witches, he would be like a lamb thrown among wolves and would surely be defiled.
“So, can you begin condensing the Golden Core soon?”
Zhou Sui inquired curiously.
He knew very well that Leng Yuexi was a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, thus she should have been ready to try forming the Golden Core.
However, because she was sabotaged by the Ghost Demon Sect, her progress in forming the Golden Core was delayed.
Now that her body has recovered, it wouldn’t be surprising if she tried to form the Golden Core again.
“Yes.”
Leng Yuexi nodded: “I have already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and can try forming the Golden Core. Moreover, I have prepared some catalysts for Golden Core formation such as Ice-fire Spiritual Liquid which I acquired at the last auction. This will increase my chances of forming the Golden Core by 30%. Also, the materials I’ve obtained from the Immortal Mist Sect should increase the probability to at least 70%.
However, I don’t think it’s the right time yet. After dual cultivation with my dear, I realized that there are still some deficiencies I need to make up for. If I could remedy these issues thoroughly, the probability for forming the Golden Core will increase to 80% or even 90%.”
She clenched her fists.
For her who possesses the First Grade Spirit Root, forming the Golden Core is almost a certainty, especially with the aid of the resources from the Immortal Mist Sect.
Because of these reasons, nearby Sects were so wary of Leng Yuexi’s potential. If Leng Yuexi succeeded, the Immortal Mist Sect would be unprecedented, boasting three Golden Core Masters.
“In that case, we should continue dual cultivation for a while longer.”
Zhou Sui felt quite satisfied thinking that if Leng Yuexi became a Golden Core Master, he would have a Dao companion of the same rank.
Wouldn’t he then be able to tread freely in the region then without anyone daring to offend him?
Thump, thump, thump!
Just then, rhythmic beats echoed through the mountain valley, signaling arriving visitors.
“Hmm, it seems the Shen family have arrived.”
Zhou Sui sensed over a dozen cultivators from the Shen family appearing outside of the mountain valley, including Shen Sheng, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had visited before and a descendant of the Shen family, Shen Wan.
“We should go and see.”
Leng Yuexi decided she also wanted to meet the cultivators in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. She might HAVE to dwell here for a while and it wouldn’t be wise to create tensions with their neighboring cultivators.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
With this thought in mind, Zhou Sui made no hesitation and immediately got up from bed.
Both of them then greeted the Shen family at the entrance of the valley.
Of course, Leng Yuexi had to unassumingly alter her appearance into an ordinary female cultivator.
This way, no one would recognize her as the renowned Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect.
This identity was simply too noticeable and may attract the Ghost Demon Sect.
Thus, inviting untold danger.
“Zhou cultivator friend.”
On seeing Zhou Sui emerge, Shen Wan greeted him and quickly noticed Leng Yuexi as well, treating her with reverence: “Didn’t expect to see you here, Senior. Congratulations on coming out from your cultivation.”
After all, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, demanding an entirely different level of respect.
“Hmm, why have you come this time?”
Leng Yuexi asked, unfazed.
“Finally, we meet in person.”
Shen Sheng laughed heartily: “Not to hide anything, we do have a purpose visiting this time. Not only did we come to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range for the Spirit Medicine and materials from the beasts. In fact, we’ve also discovered a Golden Core cave dwelling. Unfortunately, the array safeguarding the dwelling is too difficult to break. Hence, we’d like to invite you to collaborate with us. Should we find any treasures inside, we’re happy to equally split it.”
Honestly, he didn’t wish to invite this unfamiliar Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Any added person would mean less share of benefits.
The issue was recent discoveries revealed that the dwelling was protected by a triple array.
It took over a decade to resolve only one layer of the array.
What’s remaining was still daunting.
So pondering over it, he realized they needed more help to save time.
Even for Foundation Establishment cultivators, life isn’t infinite.
If he didn’t advance to a complete Foundation Establishment cultivator soon, hope of achieving a Golden Core in his lifetime would be slim.
And precisely for this reason, they considered the nearby enigmatic Foundation Establishment cultivator.
“Golden Core cave dwelling?”
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexi waved her hand: “Forget about it, I’m not interested in this. As long as you don’t disturb me, that’s all I ask. We’ve come to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range only to find the Second Stage Demon Core. We do not wish to complicate things further.”
She firmly rejected their invitation.
What?!
Members of the Shen family were taken aback; they never could’ve imagined she would refuse their invitation.
After all, which Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t be ecstatic at the mention of a Golden Core cave dwelling, itching to go explore immediately.
Because this meant immeasurable benefits.
Yet, this enigmatic Foundation Establishment cultivator was simply uninterested in a Golden Core cave dwelling.
Was it due to her extraordinary wealth or the fact that she was too timid?
Alright then, if you’re not willing, we won’t insist.”
“This visit, we were hoping to trade some cultivation resources.”
“We hope to share resources.”
Shen Sheng, the cultivating Shen Master, didn’t take offense. He simply smiled and tried to negotiate a trade of valuable cultivation resources with Leng Yuexi to benefit all parties.”
“That’s acceptable.”
Leng Yuexi nodded, as she herself had some extra resources on hand and was planning to collaborate on an exchange..
