Chapter 422: Chapter 272 Ten Thousand Years Lifespan, Heavenly Earthly Wondrous Insect: Medicine Gu_1
Of course, Zhou Sui’s rapid cultivation progress was not simply due to diligent practice with his Taoist couple.
More importantly, it was thanks to receiving the power of Yuanyin from the four Late Golden Core female cultivators: Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao.
After receiving this enormous and pure Yuanyin force, not only did it help him breakthrough to the Late Golden Core stage, but it also helped him make significant progress within this boundary.
One could say that it saved him at least twenty to thirty years of painstaking cultivation.
This was why his cultivation advanced at such an alarming rate.
“No way, is this real or false, my lifespan has reached ten thousand years.”
Suddenly, Zhou Sui’s eyes widened as he looked at the data on his virtual panel. Only then did he realize that his lifespan had undergone a remarkable increase.
Evidently, after becoming a Nascent Soul Body Cultivator, the limit of his lifespan was broken once again.
He now had a lifespan of ten thousand years.
This was true immortality!
If this news were to spread, it would be enough to shake the entire Cultivation World.
Even among the Demon Clan, those ancient Turtle Demons wouldn’t dare to claim they could live for ten thousand years.
This was truly a living fossil.
If he could actually survive for ten thousand years, then his very being would represent the history of the human clan.
However, he calmed down almost immediately.
After all, his goal was to attain Dao and become an immortal, to gain eternal life. What’s a mere ten thousand years compared to that?
It was merely a small initial goal.
Moreover, in this brutal world of cultivation, the most important thing is to protect the Dao.
If he were to be killed by an enemy, a long lifespan would be meaningless anyway.
So, he must continue to keep a low profile.
But of course, having a lifespan of ten thousand years was still worth celebrating.
“Not bad, not bad, the abilities of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation are improving quite well.”
Zhou Sui looked over the various stats of his body.
For instance, his rune, swordsmanship, and Pill Master skills had all reached the peak of the third stage, high grade, and his seventh-order formation had even achieved the peak of the fourth stage.
Unfortunately, there were several abilities that had reached their current limits and couldn’t be improved for now.
Like the Seven Apertures Spirit Secret, after he condensed his third Heart Eye, he couldn’t form a fourth one.
After all, he only knew how to condense three Heart Eyes. He hadn’t found the methods to condense the remaining four, so he was helpless without the necessary ingredients.
There’s also the Demonic Incantation. He had mastered the second layer, but he would have to reach the Nascent Soul Realm before he could begin the cultivation of the third layer, so he had reached a limit for now.
As for his seventh-order formation that had reached the peak of the fourth stage, breaking through to the fifth stage was not something that could be done overnight. He would have to wait for news about the Array Heart Gu.
However, currently, the most likely to breakthrough would be his Pill Master cultivation.
Because his Pill Master realm had reached the perfect stage of the third class, high grade, and his Five Elements Alchemy Technique had achieved perfection at the Grandmaster level.
If he could advance further, he would become a genuine fourth stage Pill Master.
Looking over the entire Canglan Sea, there were hardly any who could truly become a fourth stage Pill Master.
“To become a fourth stage Pill Master, the key is to refine a fourth stage Treasure Pill.”
“This requires the preparation of a large number of high level spiritual medicines to be successful.”
“It seems my next objective will be to break through to the fourth stage Pill Master realm.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin, determined his next target.
After all, for cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm, a Pill Master’s cultivation is also crucial.
Because once they reach this realm, there is essentially no fourth stage pill available on the market.
The majority of the fourth stage pills could only be obtained through bartering.
Even if it really appears in an auction, the price will be astronomical, attracting numerous Nascent Soul Ancestors into a bidding frenzy.
These will definitely be sold at exorbitant prices.
And in the end, it would only benefit those fourth stage Pill Masters.
So, instead of benefiting other fourth stage Pill Masters, he might as well do it himself.
“However, the key to crafting a fourth stage pill not only lies in the Pill Master but also in the Spiritual Medicine.”
“Due to the progression of time and the excessive exploitation by cultivators, a large number of ancient spiritual medicines have been lost.”
“Even if some spiritual medicines are left, they are not old enough to be the main ingredients.”
“This suggests that the key is in cultivating the spiritual medicine.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin once again.
Clearly, the cultivators in the cultivation world lacked sustainable development ideas.
Most of them are short-sighted, selfish, and would place their own interests above everyone else’s.
For their cultivation progress, they frequently conduct destructive mining.
The result is clear – the number of spiritual medicines in the cultivation world is decreasing.
It’s like a vicious circle.
This has made the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators increasingly difficult.
This is also the reason why not a single God Transformation cultivator has appeared in the Canglan Sea until now.
“It seems that there is a special Gu insect in the Gu Divine Bowl that can rapidly increase the growth speed of spiritual medicine.”
“This insect is called the Medicine Gu.”
“It feeds on countless spiritual medicines in the world, but it can rapidly increase the age of spiritual medicines.”
“A year of growth can be comparable to a hundred or even a thousand years of growth.”
“The higher its rank, the more the medicinal potency of the spiritual medicine can be increased.”
“Not to mention, the Medicine Gu is the world’s greatest cultivator, capable of nurturing any spiritual medicine.”
“Any kind of spiritual medicine falling into its hands will be able to survive.”
