I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"Who is your master?"

Zhang Shihu was startled, but not overly panicked.

After all, he was in the marketplace now, and his safety was assured.

"Lai Changsheng, Master Lai."

The person replied.

"Elder Lai?"

Zhang Shihu was startled and nodded after a while, saying, "Lead the way."

He had his own suspicions in mind.

In no time, under the person’s lead, Zhang Shihu and his group were taken directly into a private room of a restaurant.

Lai Family Patriarch, Lai Changsheng, was already waiting there.

"Are you Zhang Shihu?"

Lai Changsheng looked at him and asked directly.

"Zhang Shihu greets Elder Lai. I wonder why you have summoned me?"

Zhang Shihu hurriedly gave a respectful bow and asked.

"It’s been said that in Divine Wind Valley, your hunting team was seen with members of our Lai Family. Is this true?"

Lai Changsheng asked and observed Zhang Shihu’s expression. He continued, "Do you know how our Lai Family members died?"

"All were killed by a cultivator named Zhou Changwang under Shuiyun Pavilion’s banner. Why? Didn’t Elder Lai tell you?"

Zhang Shihu responded casually, then quickly countered with his own question.

Last time, after leaving Divine Wind Valley, their group left immediately under the employer’s urging without stopping, heading directly to a secret location for an exploration.

In those two months, they had no idea that the entire Lai Family in Divine Wind Valley had perished.

"Lai Yongsheng also perished in Divine Wind Valley."

Lai Changsheng’s face turned dark, furrowing his brows as he replied, then asked in return, "Zhou Changwang? Who is this person?"

Previously, he had exerted considerable effort to find out that the fall of their Lai Family was connected to Shuiyun Pavilion.

Moreover, there was already private enmity between both sides, which led to them doing everything possible to suppress Shuiyun Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, the key figure was not Shuiyun Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Shen Xinyue, but rather this Zhou Changwang?

"That’s right, that person’s strength is truly remarkable.

He not only used a spirit talisman to annihilate many of the Lai Family cultivators but also repeatedly blocked several attacks from Elder Lai Yongsheng.

Later, Elder Lai Yongsheng tracked down Zhou Changwang, but the final outcome, even I am unaware of."

Zhang Shihu spoke truthfully, not daring to conceal anything.

"So Yongsheng’s death is also related to this person?"

Lai Changsheng’s face immediately turned sullen upon hearing this, his heart burning with anger.

"I’m not sure about the details..."

Zhang Shihu quickly shook his head and said.

They dared not get involved in the grudges among them.

They even decided to leave in a hurry back then out of fear of retaliation afterwards.

"Go, investigate that Zhou Changwang."

Lai Changsheng, being a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, calmed down despite his anger and casually instructed a subordinate, then looked at Zhang Shihu, saying, "I heard your hunting squad takes commissions as well.

There’s a business offer; are you interested?"

Zhang Shihu’s expression slightly changed. He didn’t need to guess to know this business wasn’t anything good, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, to be honest, our Stone Tiger Squad just completed a commission and suffered heavy losses.

We need time to recover, so we won’t be taking any new commissions for the time being."

"But what if I force you to go?"

Lai Changsheng’s face turned cold suddenly, and the pressure unique to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator made Zhang Shihu break out in a cold sweat, turning his face slightly pale.

"Elder, why make things difficult for us juniors?"

Zhang Shihu said with a bitter expression.

"I believe in your abilities."

Lai Changsheng said, squinting his eyes and looking towards the direction of Shuiyun Pavilion.

If I can’t handle Shuiyun Pavilion, can’t I at least deal with a small cultivator within it?

...

"It’s been five consecutive days.

Every day at least two brews of Thousand-Year Enlightenment Tea, and I finally understand the fine details on this Foundation Establishment Pill Formula.

But to successfully refine this spirit pill, it’s not an easy task."

Zhou Changwang put away the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, feeling a bit excited internally.

He had comprehended the pill formula thoroughly, and now it was simply a matter of gathering materials and starting alchemy.

"In terms of materials, I currently have two portions of the main materials needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill. The third portion only requires two to three days to fully mature.

I’m only short of about two to three dozen auxiliary spiritual materials.

Most of these materials aren’t particularly rare and can easily be purchased at the Spiritual Materials Shop."

Zhou Changwang was more excited than ever in his heart.

"Let’s set the time to three days later!

Coincidentally, Shen Xinyue just sent me a message saying the remaining two types of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Marrow are now in hand.

Now, everything is ready; I just need the east wind."

Zhou Changwang muttered as he began to walk again through the Spirit Field.

There were six Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects left in the Spirit Field, still in growth.

The largest one, after daily normal cultivation and constant washing by the Power of Creation, had reached about ninety years of age.

At its root, he had already buried Profound Yellow Spirit Soil early on.

"The current amount of Profound Yellow Spirit Soil has increased significantly compared to before.

It’s reached a pound and six ounces now.

Whether it’s the rate of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi or the nurturing effect on spirit plants, the results have changed drastically from before.
