The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The previous evening, too, was full of sudden gusts and halting rain, casting stark and trembling silhouettes of the trees in the throws of a violent battle. Luckily, a soundproof barrier had been set up around the house; otherwise, the neighbours would most certainly have been disturbed by the noise.
“This shameless man…”, lamented Xia Jingyan in the neighbouring bedroom, an annoyed flush spread across her face.
Even though this man was unusually talented and possessive, and loved his wives dearly, he was also persistently action-oriented.
Xia Jingyan, who had been a loose cultivator for many years, used to meet with others only once or twice a week, spending most of her time in strenuous practice or cultivating mystical abilities. There was no equivalent obsession for her as it was for him.
However, this man continuously worked day and night, never tiring, pouring an almost overwhelming amount of energy in nurturing his wives.
Sometimes, she would feel utterly drained.
Unwittingly, she found herself drawn into his obsession, her disdain turning into addiction, oblivious to whether this change was for the better or worse.
But she couldn’t deny, being entangled within the confines of marital affection was better than loitering around in brothels.
Thinking about this, Xia Jingyan let out a helpless sigh.
Left with no other option, she activated the soundproof barrier, to keep distracting noises out of sight.
At this moment, Zhou Sui looked contentedly at his sleeping wives. After a night of cultivation, his power had increased considerably, which he found more satisfying than gruelling solo-training.
He was currently just at the Eight Stage Spiritual Root, and his daily training progressed at a snail’s pace, almost stagnant.
But with the help of his mates, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast.
“It’s about time to send out the Gold Eating Bug,” Zhou Sui thought and commanded one of his clones. Being at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, he could already cultivate six clones, enabling him to accomplish even more tasks.
Whoosh!
Upon receiving the command, his clone transformed into a frail old man, appearing to be a hopeless loose cultivator.
He quietly arrived at the city gate of Misty Cloud City, which at this moment was teeming with cultivators moving in and out.
“What?”
As soon as he had left Misty Cloud City, Zhou Sui could sense the predatorial gazes lurking around, much like the eyes of a ravenous wolf hungrily eyeing its prey.
Apparently, he had aroused the interest of the loose cultivators nearby as soon as he stepped out of the city’s boundary.
“Misty Cloud City is becoming more and more chaotic,” he thought, feeling a sudden tension.
He had already heard about the chaos outside the city. The exorbitant cost of living and rent deterred many cultivators from residing within the city.
Most of them resided outside in the loose cultivator’s market.
These unscrupulous cultivators were particularly interested in the wealthy ones from the city, especially the ones who were isolated.
Given a chance, they would murder and loot others, turning a quick profit.
This resulted in frequent battles outside the city, often leading to cultivators’ deaths.
Although he had heard of many such instances, he was experiencing it for the first time.
When he had previously sent his clones outside the city, the chaos was not as rampant nor as audacious as now.
Unsurprisingly, the more cultivators gathered in Misty Cloud City, the more disordered it got.
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui didn’t bother to conceal his cultivation level, and promptly displayed his Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer aura.
Such a level of cultivation among the cultivators was considered fairly good.
As they sensed the aura on Zhou Sui, the intense scrutiny of the loose cultivators around him lessened significantly, revealing a hint of reluctant deference.
“Shoot, a Qi cultivator of the Sixth Layer, huh? Thought we had a plump lamb
in our grasp.”
“Let’s hold back. This is an old man on the brink of death; who knows what
tricks he may have up his sleeve.”
“No need to take the risk. Such an old man would have survived till now only by having lots of tricks.”
“An old man like this would hardly have many spirit stones even if we killed him. He is probably even poorer than us.”
“Damn, he’s so poor and still dares to enter the city. What on earth is he doing?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Probably went to the brothel. Spending all his spirit stones on those harlots.”
“No wonder he is still stuck at Qi Cultivation of the Sixth Layer at this old age. Probably spent all his money, nourishing someone else’s belly.”
The loose cultivators were chattering incessantly.
They only wanted to amass wealth, not throw their lives away. Thus, they dared not confront someone tough head-on.
If they took action and won, great; if they lost, their lives would be forfeit. Besides, Zhou Sui appeared as frail as a penniless cultivator — even if they managed to rob him, there wouldn’t be much loot. They would be wasting their energy and strength for nothing. Therefore, they didn’t make any reckless moves.
“Damn, the wilderness is indeed dangerous. Casual cut-throat behaviour at every turn. Thank God it’s just a clone right now,” Zhou Sui thought, trying to keep a straight face and ignoring the comments of the cultivators nearby. He was secretly thankful for successfully cultivating a clone to manage his affairs, ensuring his safety.
If his real body had been in action, death would have been a real threat. Although he had seen through their hidden motives, these loose cultivators were overwhelming in number and unorthodox in their methods. It was impossible to guarantee absolute security.
Even a minor slip-up could result in death.
Transforming into an old man seemed like a good decision now. If he had appeared as a young man, they might already have attacked him.
Whoosh!
With this in mind, Zhou Sui didn’t hesitate to pick up his pace and head towards the Cloud Mist Mountains.
After all, the Red Gold Mine was located there, a few tens of kilometres away from Misty Cloud City.
He had already found out the location of the Red Gold Mine. The information was not a secret, considering the vast number of miners in Misty Cloud City, making it impossible to keep it hidden.
After running for about an hour, swerving to the east and then the west, he managed to put a considerable distance between himself and Misty Cloud City. He was surrounded by mountains, dense forests, swirling mists, and the human presence gradually dwindled.
Zhou Sui finally took a breather. He had thankfully escaped the relentless gaze of the loose cultivators.
Even though it was just a clone, he needed to get the Gold Eating Bug into the Red Gold Mine. He couldn’t afford to risk death mid-way and have his efforts amount to nothing.
“I hope there won’t be any unexpected incidents,” he thought.
Zhou Sui took a deep breath, staying cautious and heading towards the Red Gold Mine.
What?!
All of a sudden, his divine sense picked up the presence of three black-clothed cultivators hidden about several hundred meters away in the thicket. They were exuding an evil, nefarious aura, their bodies brimming with misdeeds. It sent chills down Zhou Sui’s spine.
Demonic Path Cultivators!
Almost instantly, Zhou Sui hatched a theory. Ordinary robbers, while also deadly, would not radiate such a vicious aura.
As for Demonic Path Cultivators, since they practice the Demonic Path Cultivation Techniques, their True Yuan harbored demonic nature. The techniques they employed for training were invariably nefarious and cruel. This resulted in them being completely different from ordinary cultivators, making them more violent and murderous.
“Interesting. A mere loose cultivator has detected our presence. Seems this old man isn’t as simple as he looks,” one of the demonic cultivators noted. They had evidently sensed something, realized they were discovered, and unhesitatingly emerged from the forest, brazenly standing before Zhou Sui..
