Parasite (Gu) Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from the love-enamored Gu

"If that's the case, how much Spiritual Wine can this Wine Bug produce?"

Ji Bingyu asked with immense curiosity.

"Well, it can create about ten jars of Spiritual Wine in a night."

Zhou Sui pondered and gave a specific number.

After all, the Wine Bug only emerged recently. It's akin to a First Grade Wine Bug, and its abilities haven't greatly improved. The ability to convert ten jars of Spiritual Wine was already quite remarkable.

Of course, if the Wine Bug continues to evolve, the volume of Spiritual Wine it can convert will inevitably increase.

"Ten jars of Spiritual Wine?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyi was also taken aback: "One jar of Spiritual Wine can be divided into ten pots, each pot of Spiritual Wine is worth fifty Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which means a jar of Spiritual Wine is worth five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

But the Wine Bug can convert ten jars of Spiritual Wine in a night; wouldn't that mean one could earn five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones a night? That's just too absurd."

She was utterly astounded.

After all, even as a cultivator in the Late Qi Cultivation stage, taking risks and hunting magical beasts only yielded hundreds of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which was already quite a positive return.

Most of the time, they returned empty-handed.

And most importantly, they were putting their lives at risk in the process.

A moment of carelessness and their lives could be lost forever.

Yet now, thanks to the power of the Wine Bug, they can earn five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones overnight. The speed of this earning is terribly shocking.

"No wonder the secret formula for Spiritual Wine can enable a cultivation clan to rise. It's unimaginable to earn five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones a day – wouldn't that amount to one hundred and fifty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones in a month?"

Mu Ziyi was also taken aback.

She felt that this Wine Bug was simply a huge vein of Spirit Stones. While true Spirit Stone veins will inevitably be exhausted, the Wine Bug, as long as its lifespan endures, can continuously produce Spiritual Wine.

If other cultivation clans and Sects were to know about this, they would swarm in and scramble madly for it.

At this moment, she truly recognized the importance of the Wine Bug. It was an earthshaking spiritual pest that could raise a cultivation clan, whose value was incalculable.

"The benefits are indeed too astounding. If discovered by others, we will undoubtedly die. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would move against us. So, we still need to be careful and cautious."

Ji Bingyu spoke in seriousness, "According to our cultivation, earning five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones per month is enough. This is within reasonable limits. To exceed this number would be somewhat reckless."

She made her decision; selling ten jars of Spiritual Wine a month was enough.

After all, selling too much could make them a target.

"Let's listen to Yu'er."

Zhou Sui also nodded, strongly agreeing.

Although it is ideal to have as many Spirit Stones as possible, we must also consider whether we have the power to protect them.

If we can't, no matter how many Spirit Stones we have, they would only serve to benefit others.

If they could earn a few thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones every month, it would fully satisfy their daily cultivation needs.

Once their cultivation increases, then they can earn more Spirit Stones. There won't be any delay.

"Thank you, sir, for understanding. Our cultivation is still too weak. If we could become Foundation Establishment cultivators, we could sell Spiritual Wine openly and wouldn't have to worry about others' covetousness."

Ji Bingyu sighed deeply.

But these were inevitable circumstances, the rules of survival for the scattered Cultivator.

For scattered cultivators with no backing, every action requires careful consideration as if treading on thin ice.

An inadvertent mistake could result in catastrophe, hence the need for extreme caution.

"It's okay. As long as you don't venture into the wilderness for a while."

"I heard that Immortal Mist Sect has brought a large number of cultivators into the Cloudy Mist Mountains. The situation in the mountains is very chaotic right now with killings everywhere. It's highly unsafe."

"Now that we have the Spirit Stones from selling Spiritual Wine, you don't have to take the risk of hunting beasts in the wilderness."

Zhou Sui spoke sincerely.

"Okay, we will not take any risks in the near future."

Ji Bingyu looked at Zhou Sui with affection.

Hearing his words, both Mu Ziyi and Xia Jingyan were greatly moved. In their years as scattered cultivators, Zhou Sui was the first man they'd met who cared so much for them.

If they could earn plentiful financial resources without lifting a finger, who would dare venture?

Killing too many beasts will eventually lead to being killed by beasts instead.

If they were out of luck and encountered a robbery, they would also die on the road.

But now, with Spiritual Wine, even if they stay in Misty Cloud City, they would not have to worry about lack of Spirit Stones.

This life was what they had always dreamed of.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

It was now winter in Misty Cloud City. Snow fell everywhere, creating a beautiful frosted scenery but also an incredibly cold climate.

Many cultivators were shivering from the cold.

However, Zhou Sui remained calm and composed at home, cultivating with his partner Ji Bingyu.

"Last night, you cultivated seven times with your partner. You have planted deep feelings of love, and you've obtained a certain degree of experience in swordsmanship."

"Your cultivation has increased to a certain extent."

"Your Spiritual Root Aptitude has improved and advanced to an Eight Stage Spiritual Root."

Zhou Sui felt a jolt in his body after a night of dual cultivation. He sensed a mysterious warm stream flowing from the Obsession Gu into his Spiritual Root, causing a hugely transformative change in his Spiritual Root.

At this moment, he realized that his Spiritual Root had been elevated from a Ninth Grade Spirit Root to an Eight Stage Spiritual Root.

Undoubtedly, it was an astonishing transformation.

Other cultivators, no matter what they tried, could not improve their Spiritual Root Aptitude.

But now, he had merely dual cultivated for half a year and managed to advance from a Ninth Grade Spirit Root to an Eight Stage Spiritual Root, an inconceivable feat.

If this were known, it would undoubtedly shock countless cultivators.

"Is this the Eight Stage Spiritual Root Aptitude?"

Zhou Sui felt that his absorption efficiency of nature's spiritual energy had improved by a third compared to before and even his understanding had improved to some extent.

Compared to the Ninth Grade Spirit Root, his current aptitude had improved significantly.

It was like being transformed from an idiot to an average person.

Among many cultivators, the Ninth Grade Spirit Root was relatively rare, equivalent to a human fool.

But now, having advanced to an Eight Stage Spiritual Root, he had managed to scrape into the category of ordinary cultivators.

He had finally managed to escape from the ranks of fools.

This had left Zhou Sui feeling incredibly thrilled.

After all, this was only the beginning. If he were to continue, his Spiritual Root might reach the seventh or even first grade.

If so, he would become a genius among cultivators.
