26 Chapter 26: Materials for Book Worm refining, Infinite Library_1
"Is there a way to enhance my comprehension?"
At this moment, Zhou Sui looked at the Gu Divine Bowl, thinking that perhaps this treasure might provide a solution.
In an instant, the Gu Divine Bowl seemingly sensed his thoughts and vibrated slightly. Instantly, a surge of information plunged into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
"Wait, craft the Book Worm? The Book Worm can help me with my comprehension?!"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
The so-called Book Worm is an exotic Heavenly Earth Gu Worm, animated by books, capable of ingesting countless ones, including Heritage Jade Records.
Once it digests a book, it can instantly record every detail and will never forget, becoming a vast library after consuming enough books.
Its capacity for memory is infinite, and the more books it consumes, the more potent it becomes.
Most importantly, it can assist the host in understanding the content of the books. It is like a cultivation assistant that helps enhance wisdom and speed up comprehension.
"Such a Gu Worm actually exists in this world? I must craft this."
Zhou Sui was very excited.
If he could successfully craft this Worm, all kinds of Cultivation Techniques and skills would no longer cause him much trouble, making it easy to grasp them.
He couldn't estimate how much cultivation time he'd save by then.
"The main ingredient is the Wood Pest, a spiritual critter that eats wood, and there are thirty-six other ingredients."
"It seems like it is time to purchase some materials."
Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.
Fortunately, he's in Misty Cloud City, close to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range known for a variety of Spiritual Materials. As long as you have Spirit Stones, you can virtually purchase any material you need.
After all, once the Book Worm is crafted, his cultivation will be significantly easier.
So, this task is a must.
In an instant, Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Clone Gu, and a clone was formed.
This clone is almost identical to his original body; the only difference is his slightly lower Cultivation.
He planned to use this clone to purchase the materials needed to craft the Book Worm.
Although rogues wouldn't dare to act in broad daylight in Misty Cloud City, it's always better to be careful. If the clone went shopping, even if danger was to occur, it would not harm his original body, at worst, he would lose some insignificant valuables.
Until his Cultivation becomes unstoppable, he would never be careless.
The clone of Zhou Sui left the mansion, heading to the main road of Misty Cloud City.
The journey went smoothly. There weren't many Cultivators on the road, perhaps because the recent security status of Misty Cloud City was rather severe, making Cultivators uncomfortable to idle around.
He arrived at the Pill Medicine Pavilion in Misty Cloud City without any problem and saw the shopkeeper Zhao.
"Oh! Isn't this little Zhou? Haven't seen you for a while, your Cultivation has improved a lot. You seem to have reached the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer." Shopkeeper Zhao praised with surprise as he quickly noticed Zhou Sui's improvement in Cultivation.
Zhou Sui was startled. He hadn't expected his improvement in Cultivation to be perceived so quickly. Although this was just his clone, the Cultivation level was similar to his actual body.
It seems that he needs to establish Phantasma Transformation skill sooner, or else any Cultivator could see through him. What kind of privacy could he have then?
More importantly, if people realize that his Cultivation is progressing too fast, others might sense something wrong.
If his partner knew about his situation, it wouldn't matter. But what about those unscrupulous Cultivators? They might covet his treasures and try to kill him.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you are too kind. It is all thanks to my partner's help. Without her, there is no way my Cultivation could have progressed this quickly." Zhou Sui replied with a slight smile, giving all the credit to his partner.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately remembered Zhou Sui's partner - a Late Qi Cultivation practitioner. With the assistance of such a Cultivator, using loads of Pills to reach the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer in a short time was no surprise. It was simply a matter of having enough Spirit Stones.
At this thought, he felt a surge of jealousy. How was it that this ordinary guy had the favor of such an advanced female Cultivator? His ancestors must've been pious for him to be this lucky. What exactly did he have?
Could it be that this young man could charm female Cultivators so easily?
Nevertheless, he managed to keep a straight face.
"I am looking for a Pest that specifically eats wood, do you have it?" Zhou Sui straightforwardly asked.
"Wood Pest? You must be referring to the Wood Aphid. It's one of the main ingredients in the Wood Spirit Pill. Fortunately, I have it in stock. However, it costs five hundred Lower Grade Spiritual Stones." Shopkeeper Zhao pondered for a moment before quoting a price.
Zhou Sui instantly agreed. It was just five hundred Lower Grade Spiritual Stones, nothing to be concerned about. Crafting the Book Worm would make it all worthwhile.
"Looks like you, little Zhou, have really made some good money, being able to shell out so many Spirit Stones."
The jealousy welling up inside Shopkeeper Zhao was palpable. He didn't believe Zhou Sui earned all these Spirit Stones. It must be the female Late Qi Cultivation practitioner. How did this young man manage to please such a beauty?
She generously gifted him such an amount of Spirit Stones to spend.
Had he known what a life of luxury this was, he would have done the same.
Regrettably, he was getting old, his body was not what it used to be, and probably no female Cultivator would lay her eyes on him.
"No, no, I've spent all I had. Truly. I have nothing left."
"By the way, besides the Wood Aphid, I need other materials as well. Please sell them to me."
Zhou Sui replied modestly and continued to purchase more items.
Hearing this, both Shopkeeper Zhao and the nearby Pavilion attendants turned green with envy. How rich was this guy who claimed to be flat broke and yet bought so many Spiritual Materials?
Without a doubt, that was money from the mature female Cultivator.
Otherwise, how could he have so many Spirit Stones?
This ordinary-looking young man had found a sugar mama and was now acting so arrogantly. He could spend hundreds of Lower Grade Spiritual Stones without blinking an eye.
This was nothing less than arrogance.
The attendants gritted their teeth around him, feeling envious.
However, they couldn't do anything. They just carried on with their duties, finding materials for Zhou Sui.
After all, he was moneyed, and he was their customer. He was king.
