11 Chapter 11: Eliminating Future Troubles, Did Zhou Sui Play Dead?! _1
Translator: 549690339
Outside Misty Cloud City, within the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
At this point, Liu Dong, along with the three loose cultivators beside him, appeared deep in the mountains. They were all Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators, enough for them to protect themselves to a certain degree in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
“Are you sure you found a hundred-year-old Golden Thorn Grass spiritual medicine?”
Liu Dong couldn't help asking.
“Absolutely.”
A pointed-face, monkey-cheeked middle-aged cultivator nodded: “I would never deceive you guys. We are all old friends. Once when I was chased by a beast in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, I accidentally came upon a valley and found the hundred-year-old spiritual medicine there.
Unfortunately, that hundred-year-old spiritual medicine was guarded by a few first-grade beasts. I was no match for them and couldn't get close. So I invited you all time.
I believe you all know the value of a hundred-year-old spiritual medicine. Even a single one is worth thousands of lower grade spiritual stones. If we add the value of a few beasts' carcasses, the total harvest this time should at least reach two or three thousand lower grade spiritual stones. Even if we four share it equally, it will be quite a lot.”
He swore to heaven to confirm that he was telling the truth and not a single lie.
“Great, if this is true, then you will certainly get a share of the harvest.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong immediately felt relieved. He knew the middle-aged cultivator for many years, although he was not very reliable in doing things, at least he would not lie.
Moreover, they knew each other very well, and he didn't think the middle-aged man would dare to deceive him.
He thought that if he succeeds this time, he could earn hundreds of lower grade spiritual stones and buy pills to break through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.
This is about his path of Foundation Establishment, which he can't afford to lose.
However, at this point, Liu Dong recalled Zhou Sui, the son of his good friend, and his face became gloomy.
If it were not for that bastard getting involved with a Qi Cultivation ninth Layer woman cultivator, he would have already owned the Zhou's house by now.
By now, he would have advanced to the Qi Cultification Ninth Layer in a peaceful and stable manner in Misty Cloud City. He wouldn't need to take risks outside the city.
It's been about a month now, and Zhou Sui should have long been played out by that black widow.
“It's terrible, we are under attack!”
All of a sudden, as Liu Dong was lost in thought, he felt chills run down his spine, his hairs stood on end, and felt a sense of fatal danger overwhelm him. This was an instinct of a loose cultivator.
From the corner of his eye, he saw four beams of silver sword light appearing in the distance. They moved at an incredible speed, were imbued with dreadful Metallic Power which could crush anything.
At that moment, he felt in mortal danger and wanted to dodge.
Unfortunately, the sword light was too fast. Even with his level of cultivation, there was no way he could evade it.
BANG~~~
In an instant, a beam of sword light pierced through his head, making it explode like a watermelon. Liu Dong's blood was splattered everywhere. He died instantly without letting out a scream.
Even just before he died, he didn't see who killed him.
All he knew in his dying breath was the intense regret he felt. If he had known beforehand how dangerous it was outside the city, he wouldn't have decided to go, no matter what.
Unfortunately, it's too late for regrets now.
Not only Liu Dong, but the other three loose cultivators were also killed with a single sword strike, dying right on the spot.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!!!
In no time at all, three graceful figures emerged from the jungle. They were Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi and Xia Jingyan.
“Sister, it's been a month since I saw you use your sword, and you haven't even practiced much. But your sword qi is even more powerful than before. You managed to kill four Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators with a single strike, it's incredibly impressive.”
Mu Ziyi looked at Ji Bingyu with supreme admiration.
“Indeed, that strike was as powerful as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
Xia Jingyan was also surprised. She had encountered sword cultivators in the Qi Cultivation stage before, but she had never seen a terrifying sword cultivator like Ji Bingyu in the same stage.
A month ago, Ji Bingyu was still within a reasonable range compared to her, but now, she's become more than twice as powerful.
The question was, hadn't she been indulging in pleasures night and day? How had she become so much more formidable in just a month's time?
She was full of questions.
“I'm not sure either, but after being with my husband, I feel that my soul power has increased a lot, which even led to the birth of my foundation establishment spiritual sense.”
Ji Bingyu smiled gently: “Because of this, my swordsmanship seems to have made tremendous progress, reaching the realm of perceiving danger before it arrives.”
At that point, she began recalling everything that had occurred in the past month, her face turning red.
It was as if she missed her husband even though they'd only been apart for a little while.
It felt like a thousand years had passed since they were last together.
But the main reason she had left this time was to deal with Liu Dong, the villain who once tried to assassinate her husband behind her back. She couldn't rest until she had gotten rid of him.
“Is that really true?!?”
Xia Jingyan was astonished. Could dual cultivation really improve cultivation so quickly? Or was it because that man had some special qualities which allowed a female cultivator to progress?
If it was the latter, that man must be quite valuable.
She fell into deep thought.
“Right, let's get into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, pick the spiritual medicine, and then return to Misty Cloud City.” Ji Bingyu was eager to get back to Misty Cloud City as soon as possible. Even after such a short separation, she felt lovesick and incredibly uncomfortable.
“Alright.”
Xia Jingyan reluctantly agreed, taking the storage bags left by Liu Dong and the other cultivators. As for their corpses, nearby beasts would soon come to eat them.
In the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, such incidents were not uncommon and didn't bother anyone.
Meanwhile, Zhou Sui also ready to leave home.
After all, he had been at home for a month and was getting restless. Most importantly, he needed to visit nearby shops to find materials for his Gu Insects.
“Zhou Sui, you're not dead yet?”
As Zhou Sui was about to leave, a middle-aged cultivator from the neighboring house couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. His name was Zhang Cheng, a lower first-grade pill master, Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, forty-five years old.
He had been a neighbor of the Zhou family for many years.
“Die? Why should I die?”
Hearing this, Zhou Sui twitched his mouth, looking at the other with a puzzled expression.
“Ahem, a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought you had some kind of accident since you haven't left home for a month.”
Zhang Cheng's face flushed awkwardly, and he hurriedly gave a forced laugh.
After all, he thought that Zhou Sui had been drained by the black widow after being inaccessible for a month — drained like a mummy.
So when he saw Zhou Sui suddenly coming out, he initially thought that Zhou Sui was back from the dead and might even have turned into an avenging ghost to take revenge on the black widow.
Who could have imagined that the lad was still alive and kicking? It was simply incredible.
