"How can I get detoxified?"
Leng Yuexi asked urgently.
For some reason, she had a natural sense of trust in Zhou Sui.
Even though she knew that the lethal Blue Demon poison was hard to neutralize, and she might not even be able to do it if she returned to the Immortal Mist Sect, she still had complete trust in the man in front of her.
It seemed as though this man would absolutely not deceive her.
It was as if they were inherently inseparable, with a relationship akin to that between relatives.
"I have a peculiar bug on me that can counter any poison. As long as this bug enters your body, it can devour the lethal poison inside you and restore your body to its original state."
"Then let's do it. When can we start?"
Leng Yuexi said excitedly.
With a slight smile, Zhou Sui gestured grandly. The Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu on him transformed into a beam of light and instantly plunged into Leng Yuexi's body.
The Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu directly infiltrated Leng Yuexi's heart. It opened its mouth, turning its body into a vortex and generating an unparalleled suction power.
Instantaneously, the toxins that were originally lurking in various parts of Leng Yuexi's body were drawn irresistibly towards her heart.
In no time at all, these toxins were all ingested by the Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu.
The satiated Gu bug belched contentedly. It was evidently very satisfied.
Not only did the bug now contain the lethal Blue Demon, it also began to emanate a faint blue light, making it appear incredibly eerie.
"Don't tell me – did the lethal poison truly disappear from my body?!"
Leng Yuexi was immediately overjoyed.
At that moment, she felt a sense of relief like never before, as if a heavy burden had been completely lifted off her.
The lethal poison had initially corroded her meridians and dantian, preventing the circulation of mana within her body.
But now, all this was gone.
She began to feel the free-flowing movement of mana within her body, and an aura of fulfilled Foundation Establishment erupted from her, solidifying into substance and causing the ground to crack.
She could not contain her excitement.
Her beautiful eyes that were as clear as water softened as they gazed at Zhou Sui, containing a hint of an indescribable flavor.
"Congratulations, Elder Leng."
Zhou Sui slightly smiled. He, too, felt very joyful. By helping Leng Yuexi detoxify, he had effectively gained a Foundation-building ally. This greatly increased his safety.
Even if his underground sanctuary was discovered by the Ghost Demon Sect's cultivators.
With Leng Yuexi's aid, he could probably escape easily or even counter-kill the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect.
"Thank you for saving my life. I will definitely assist you in advancing your Foundation Establishment," Leng Yuexi said with determination, her heart filled with gratitude.
She had originally thought she was doomed, with the abandonment by the Immortal Mist Sect sealing her fate.
After the fall of Misty Cloud City, she would surely have been captured by the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect, leaving her fate hanging in the balance and faced with severe torture.
But who could have expected that she would meet such a mysterious man?
Not only did he save her, but he also helped her neutralize the bizarre poison in her body and recover her Foundation Establishment cultivation.
This was not just about saving her life. It was about saving her path.
She even held high hopes for advancing to the Golden Core stage from here onwards.
Although she had suffered tremendously this time, she now understood the true meaning of the saying 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'.
Her years of struggle with the lethal poison had only made her foundations stronger, pushing her to heights she had never reached before.
If she attempted Core Formation, her chances of success would likely increase by at least thirty percent.
It could be said that she stood a good chance of achieving Core Formation in the future.
"No need to be polite, Senior Leng. However, we might have to leave this place soon, so you should be prepared for that," Zhou Sui replied with a slight smile.
"Leave this place? Has the Ghost Demon Sect already left?"
Leng Yuexi curiously inquired.
According to her knowledge about the Ghost Demon Sect, it wasn't easy for them to give up their pursuit of her.
Zhou Sui shook his head, "The Ghost Demon Sect has taken over the Misty Cloud City. They are still actively pursuing you within the city, and have even deployed search parties around, but they've been fruitless so far.
However, staying here always carries risks, so I'm planning to leave. But we won't leave by traveling on the surface, but through an underground tunnel."
"Underground tunnel?"
Leng Yuexi blinked, a little unclear about Zhou Sui's words.
"Exactly, I intend to dig a tunnel leading deep into the Misty Cloud Mountain, one that stretches hundreds of kilometers."
"When the time comes, we can get to the depths of the Misty Cloud Mountain through this underground tunnel."
"In this way, even if the Ghost Demon Sect is very powerful, they can't possibly find us."
Zhou Sui disclosed his plan.
They say a wise man does not put himself in danger. Even though it was relatively safe below Misty Cloud City at that time.
But who knew if it would remain safe in the future?
Perhaps some deranged Demon Cultivator might come up with the idea of exploring underground tunnels.
By then, his whereabouts could be exposed.
It was better to make a run for it now and hide deep within the Misty Cloud Mountain.
Although there were many Demonic Beasts deep in the Misty Cloud Mountain, even the most dangerous beast couldn't be compared to the danger posed by humans.
Moreover, Leng Yuexi had almost regained her cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
With a Foundation-building Cultivator by his side, the risks in the Misty Cloud Mountain probably weren't as significant.
An involuntary spasm tugged at the corner of Leng Yuexi's mouth. She found this idea quite astonishing. Digging a hundreds of kilometers long underground tunnel was an enormous task.
Even if the Immortal Mist Sect wanted to do such a thing, who knew when they could succeed?
Constructing an underground tunnel wasn't just about digging through the earth. They also had to stabilize it.
Otherwise, if the tunnel collapsed, they might get buried alive.
Only someone like Zhou Sui, who controlled the Gold Eating Bug, could possibly accomplish this incredible feat.
So, no matter how hard the Ghost Demon Sect cultivators racked their brains, they could never imagine that someone might escape through an underground tunnel stretching hundreds of kilometers. Indeed, it was beyond imagination.
"Alright, I'll prepare."
"Just let me know when it's time."
Leng Yuexi wanted to maintain her air of mystery as a Foundation-building Cultivator, so she forced herself to suppress her curiosity and refrained from asking about Zhou Sui's method for digging the tunnel.
After some thought, Zhou Sui waved his hand and took back the Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu. After bidding Leng Yuexi farewell, he returned to his bedroom.
He was immediately greeted by his three wives, dressed in black gauze clothing, semi-visible, who flooded the room with an irresistible enchanting aura that made his mouth water.
He was immediately excited.
"This bastard is at it again."
"His stamina is unbelievable."
"When will this guy ever get tired? Doesn't he need to cultivate?"
In her adjacent room, Leng Yuexi's face turned red. She clenched her fists angrily.
Hearing the strange noises from next door, she felt disturbed and her blood boiled.
She had no choice but to set up a noise-cancelling barrier. What you don't see, won't disturb you.
