Explore the ruins of the cave?
Zhou Sui squinted his eyes, looking at his neighbor Xu Tianze: Brother Xu, I am just a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer. How could I have the qualifications to explore the cave with you? You must think too highly of me.
He was using the Phantasma Transformation skill, which gave the illusion of being at the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer to the outside world.
Given the esoteric nature of his cultivation technique, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to discover his true strength.
Brother Zhou, youre being too modest. Although your current cultivation is at the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer, given time, youll certainly reach Foundation Establishment. For now, you are just like a dragon playing in shallow waters.
Xu Tianze complimented: According to your present strength, exploring the Foundation Establishment cave would indeed be challenging. However, you have two extraordinary companions, both at the Qi Cultivation nineth Layer, who certainly possess the capability.
Of course, I have also invited others apart from you. If everyone agrees, this expedition would, without a doubt, be successful.
He indicated that he was looking at Zhou Suis companions strength, who were in the Late Qi Cultivation stage.
I see. Thank you for your kind intentions, Brother Xu, but we are not very interested in exploring the ruins of the cave. You might have to look elsewhere.
Zhou Sui declined flatly.
!!..
It did not matter to him whether the invitation was out of goodwill or ill will. Even if it was out of goodwill, he would still decline.
After all, he was not short of resources or cultivation techniques now, only time.
Why would he foolishly venture outdoors?
No one knew what dangers might lurk in the Foundation Establishment cave. One misstep could lead to death, and years of cultivation would be lost in an instant.
Over the years, countless cultivators had explored the ruins of the caves. However, how many of them had actually gained anything? The success rate was just too low.
Brother Zhou, dont reject it just yet. This time the exploration of the ruins is not as risky as you might think. I have prepared several top-grade talismans for this operation, and I will give them to everyone for free. I believe that with the help of these top-grade talismans, even if we encounter a second-stage beast, we can still escape alive.
Xu Tianze pulled out all the stops, declaring that he had prepared a large number of talismans, which would surely guarantee the safety of his companions.
In that case, Brother Xu, do try asking other cultivators. Im sure they would be more than eager to join. Unfortunately, we cant enjoy such fortune. Zhou Sui said with an indifferent smile.
All right then, Brother Zhou. Since youve decided that way, well have to wait for another opportunity.
Seeing Zhou Suis firm stance, Xu Tianze acknowledged that insisting would not yield anything, and any more persuasion would seem forceful, which wasnt suitable for his persona.
Thus, he temporarily chose to give up and leave the place.
Husband, why did Brother Xu come here?
Ji Bingyu asked curiously as Zhou Sui returned inside from the door.
He wanted to invite us on an exploration adventure to a Foundation Establishment cave, but I found it too risky and declined his proposal straight away. Zhou Sui spoke gravely, recounting what just happened.
Indeed it is dangerous. Unsolicited help is usually a cover for an evil scheme.
Xia Jingyan nodded, firmly agreeing with Zhou Suis statement.
Exactly, what can a Foundation Establishment spiritual object amount to? What we desire is the Foundation Pill. Moreover, with the spring auction approaching, we dont need to take this risk at all.
Mu Ziyi also agreed with this point.
Dont mind him, we should just stay within the city and cultivate peacefully.
Xia Chuan dismissed the issue and walked into the quiet room, immersed in comprehending the legacy knowledge of a first-stage Pill Master. He was recently engrossed with the swiftly growing understanding of this knowledge. Time seemed to flow like water in his perception.
Afar, Xu Tianze returned to his room with a gloomy face.
How did it go? Did that kid agree to join us on the adventure?
A cultivator in black robes inquired.
He has declined.
Xu Tianze gritted his teeth. Just a Qi Cultivation fourth Layer ant dares to reject my invitation repeatedly. Its absolutely infuriating. If it werent for his backing from two female cultivators at the Qi Cultivation nineth Layer, would he dare to talk back and disrespect me like this?
He was absolutely livid.
His previous warm and graceful demeanor was merely a facade.
In reality, he was a sinister and ruthless Demonic Path Cultivator who never left his grudges unpaid.
If this were in the wilderness and a mere Loose Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer dared to talk back to him like this, Xu Tianze would have already decapitated him.
No one would dare disrespect him like this.
But this was within Misty Cloud City, forcing him to hold back for now.
He actually refused? Doesnt he want to obtain the Foundation Establishment spiritual object? Or did he see through something?
A black-robed cultivator squinted his eyes, radiating a dangerous aura.
They probably have not detected our identities. After all, we have been behaving well these past few months without exposing any flaws, so they cannot possibly recognize us. I guess its just that the kid is timid as a mouse and doesnt dare to leave the city.
As far as I know, the kids parents died during an outdoor adventure. He was left all alone and now hes probably overly cautious due to his past, not daring to easily leave Misty Cloud City.
Xu Tianze took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart and began to analyze the situation calmly.
Hmph, how pathetic. I thought he had noticed something. It turns out hes just a coward.
The cultivator in black robes scoffed coldly in disdain. We cultivators should be brave and diligent. Constantly hiding at home, how can he obtain any opportunity even if one presents itself.
He has inferior talent, and hes not willing to take risks. Hell always be a low-level cultivator in this life. How can he improve his cultivation? If it werent for his association with higher-level forces, he would probably still be trash at the first layer of Qi cultivation.
He looked down on people like Zhou Sui. People like this would probably never make it to Foundation Establishment, let alone Late Qi Cultivation.
However, by sheer luck, Zhou Sui managed to win the hearts of female cultivators.
He was also incredibly jealous of such lucky guys.
So Brother, what should we do now? Xu Tianze asked.
Forget it. Since the kid is timid, it wouldnt be good to force an invitation on him. Forcing him might expose our identities.
Anyway, we have invited plenty of Loose Cultivators this time, which should be enough for us to feast on.
As for the kid, hes living in Misty Cloud City, and we cant lay a hand on him.
And with three female cultivators at the Late Qi Cultivation alongside him, it would be easy to startle the snake in the grass, so lets spare his life for now.
The black-robed cultivators eyes were filled with a cruel light, making one shudder.
Yes, Brother.
Xu Tianze was also getting impatient.
The saying The evil toils for nothing; the benevolent rests with ease aptly described them as Demonic Path Cultivators. They often engaged in effortless and deceptive practices such as luring other cultivators and ambushing them in the wilderness.
Only in this way could they become overnight millionaires and gather copious cultivation resources.
If they had to depend on making talismans, when would they be able to earn enough money to buy a Foundation pill..
