“Not bad.”
Zhou Sui was quite satisfied with the extension of his lifespan to six hundred years.
Apart from the breakthrough in lifespan due to his advancement in realm, the most crucial factor was the help from the Dragon Elephant Gu.
With the power from the Dragon Elephant Gu, he was able to breach the limit of lifespan.
And this is just the beginning.
With each refinement from the Dragon Elephant Gu, his lifespan could probably continue to increase, it is not yet at its limit.
After all, the lifespan of a legendary dragon far exceeds that of ordinary people, it’s not something a naturally short-lived human could match.
“The power of the Gu insects has also increased, they have collectively advanced to the second stage.”
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
Truth be told, for him, the advancement of the Gu insects is the most important.
The power each Gu insect possesses is a trump card.
Apparently, the advancement in his cultivation also led to an increase in the power of the Gu insects on him.
The two are mutually reinforcing.
“Every Gu insect, after advancing to the second stage, has seen a varying degree of power increase.”
Zhou Sui sensed a vast influx of information from the depths of his consciousness. These were messages relayed to him by every Gu insect that had advanced to the second stage.
It also allows him to understand the current situation of each Gu insect.
Firstly, the Clone Gu, after advancing to the lower-grade of the second stage, could now produce even more clones.
Back when he was at the Qi Cultivation Nineth Layer, it could basically give birth to nine clones. Now, having reached the lower-grade of the second stage, it can produce eighteen clones, basically doubling its output.
If it gets to the middle-grade of the second stage, that would be thirty-six clones. If it reaches the upper-grade, it would generate seventy-two clones.
It’s safe to say that the increase is exponential.
But of course, if that’s all, it wouldn’t be much of a big deal.
More importantly, every clone birthed can learn various skills, techniques, and the Hundred Arts of Cultivation on its own.
Basically, the content and insights that a clone has learnt can be transmitted back to the original body.
Although the efficiency isn’t as superior as the original body, as long as perseverance is involved, the original body can absorb quite a lot of content in time, allowing the original body to focus solely on cultivation.
As for the knowledge of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, it can be delegated to his clones for handling.
“If that’s so, isn’t it the same as having an additional eighteen brains, that can concurrently assist me in learning various knowledge?” Zhou Sui was quite excited.
Obviously, the purpose of a clone is not solely to gather information and go on adventures.
They can also help him to learn.
Its uses are infinite.
Truthfully, there is a lot that he needs to learn. If he has more clones assisting him, his learning efficiency would increase, thereby leading to an enormous boost.
“Just as the Bookworm has also advanced to the second stage, if coupled with the second stage Clone Gu, it’ll be like a tiger growing wings.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fists.
Clearly, the Bookworm has also advanced to the second stage.
Apart from an increase in the internal capacity of the Book Worm – which has expanded a hundred times, allowing it to hold a mass amount of data – an even more important ability has emerged, which is knowledge transmission.
With the power of the Bookworm, one’s knowledge and data can be relayed and shared with others, aiding them remember various knowledge and achieve a photographic memory.
Originally, he could only employ the power of the Book Worm for his own use.
But now, any knowledge recorded by the Bookworm can be shared with others.
This means that his several Dao companions can also enjoy such benefits.
Just like him, they can remember a large amount of cultivation knowledge.
No doubt this will also facilitate the rapid improvement of his Dao companions’ cultivation and their understanding towards Daoism.
“The Wine Bug, Dragon Elephant Gu, Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu, Gold Eating Bug, Dream Soul Gu, and so on, have all reached the second stage.”
Zhou Sui stroke his chin.
Apparently, the abilities of these five Gu Insects have undergone significant modifications as well.
The Wine Bug, having advanced to the second stage, can now brew second stage Spiritual Wine.
Knowing that a pot of second stage Spiritual Wine is at least worth five middle-grade Spirit Stones, it’s worth ten times a first stage Spiritual Wine.
If he can mass produce the second stage Spiritual Wine, his money-making speed would be as fast as a money-printing machine.
In other words, the second stage Wine Bug is his money-printing machine.
With regards to the Dragon Elephant Gu, which has also advanced to the second stage, it still produces a wisp of mysterious blood energy every month. However, the effects it brings to his body have surged by more than tenfold.
This greatly strengthens the effects of refining his body.
Furthermore, the Golden Light Thousand Poison Gu, which has advanced to the second stage, can now produce second stage extreme poison. Releasing just a tiny bit of this poison can kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It can even pose a threat to Golden Core cultivators.
Even if it doesn’t kill the Golden Core cultivators, it will certainly cause them a fair amount of trouble.
With regards to the Gold Eating Bug which has advanced to the second stage, its abilities have naturally become much stronger. Both its defense and offensive power have seen some improvement.
The Gold Eating Bug currently resides in its original Red Gold Mine, and has basically bred a thousand more of its kind.
It’s safe to say that it has formed, in essence, a Gold Eating Bug regiment.
If they were to mobilize collectively, they could definitely eradicate numerous foundation establishment cultivators and become an unprecedented insect catastrophe.
However, he only has a hundred of them on him, the other nine hundred are kept in the Red Gold Mine for breeding.
After all, the appetite of a thousand Gold Eating Bugs is simply too big.
If he were to really keep them by his side, he probably wouldn’t be able to afford their upkeep.
As for the Dream Soul Gu, it had already advanced to the second stage sometime ago, therefore its evolution wasn’t as drastic this time.
But the Gu with the most staggering evolution is the Obsession Gu.
Because now, the power of the Obsession Gu has advanced to the third stage.
“Third stage Obsession Gu.”
Zhou Sui was conscious of the Obsession Gu deep in his mind. It was now covered in densely packed pink Runes, as if it’s entirely encased by endless love and passion.
It is constantly emanating a pink aura.
The pink aura seeps into his limbs and bones, flowing into every nook and cranny of his body.
As a result, his appearance and body underwent a drastic change.
This is the ability inherent to the newly born third stage Obsession Gu – the Body of Heavenly Charm.
The Obsession Gu is now constantly releasing a mysterious power, ceaselessly altering Zhou Sui’s physique.
As a result, his body emits a unique odor.
This odor is the pheromone of a male human.
This odor is scentless, no sense of smell can detect it.
But it can be sensed.
The moment a female cultivator stands next to him, she will unconsciously smell a captivating scent that is soul-stirring.
After inhaling this scent, the female cultivators’ goodwill towards him will greatly increase.
It’s as if they have fallen deeply and helplessly in love.
Of course, this power doesn’t increase his combat power in any way, it purely enhances his charm.
However, this charm doesn’t take effect instantly, but slowly and subtly.
The longer one stays by his side, the more they will sense his charm.
Even if it’s a male of the same sex, they will inevitably develop goodwill towards him.
Every gesture and movement exudes an irresistible charm..
