“By the way, friend Zhou, have you decided to take a risk and join the Immortal Mist Sect in venturing into the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?”

Zhang Cheng asked.

“Why? Did many others also decide to join them?”

Zhou Sui asked in return.

“You are familiar with Tao who is a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Cultivator, aren’t you? He’s decided to risk it with the Immortal Mist Sect. Given his spiritual root aptitude, without the reward from the Immortal Mist Sect, he can’t hope to establish his cultivation base.”

“If he’s lucky this time and makes great contributions, he could receive the sect’s reward. Although it doesn’t guarantee successful Base Establishment, it could at least allow him to progress to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.”

Zhang Cheng explained.

“But the Cloud Mist Mountain Range is so dangerous, is it really worth the risk?”

Zhou Sui frowned.

He did not believe that the Immortal Mist Sect would be that generous. If developing the Cloud Mist Mountain Range wasn’t dangerous, why would they be willing to offer so many resources as rewards?

They say there must be brave men where there’s a generous reward.

Most likely, the Immortal Mist Sect wants to attract loose cultivators to be their cannon fodder, shielding them from the many dangers of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Without any doubt, the death rate amongst these loose cultivators following the Immortal Mist Sect into the Mountain Range wouldn’t be low.

“Well, it’s certainly worth the risk. In order to exploit the Cloud Mist Mountain range, the Immortal Mist Sect has dispatched three Foundation Establishment elders and over a hundred Qi Cultivation Disciples. They are determined to succeed.”

“If my cultivation wasn’t insufficient, I’d also like to join them.”

Zhang Cheng sighed.

He believed the Immortal Mist Sect’s move would certainly succeed.

“Forget it, I’m only at the Qi Condensation Third Level. Even if I do go, I won’t receive much of a reward. It’s better to stay home and cultivate quietly.”

“If I really need more pills, I’d ask my Taoist friends.”

Zhou Sui gestured his disinterest in the venture.

After all, his Spiritual Wine trade was prospering right now. He could earn at least five thousand lower grade Spiritual Stones each month and he didn’t lack Spiritual Stones.

If it wasn’t to avoid drawing too much attention, he could have earned even more Spiritual Stones.

Thus, he naturally wasn’t going to risk his life for some rewards like other loose cultivators.

His life was much too precious for that.

“What!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng’s mouth twitched in jealousy. Why didn’t he have such wealthy friends? It just wasn’t fair.

No wonder this guy didn’t want to take the risk in the Cloud Mist Mountain.

If he could easily get money from friends, who’d risk their life adventuring outside?

He must have relied on that beautiful female cultivator, but it might not be her who nourished him, but him sucking the blood out of her.

It’s infuriating. How could such a thing happen in this world?

“My dear.”

At this moment, a delicate voice rang out. Three attractive female cultivators walked in from outside, they were Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan.

They left the house earlier to sell Spiritual Wine and buy various pills, materials, Spirit Meat, Spirit Rice, and other supplies.

After all, Misty Cloud City was in chaos, filled with outsider cultivators.

If Zhou Sui, a Qi Condensation Third Layer cultivator, went out so carelessly, he might face unexpected dangers.

But it wouldn’t matter as much if Ji Bingyu and the others went out.

After all, they were late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators. No one would dare harm them.

“You’re back, come in quickly.”

Zhou Sui smiled and promptly opened the door to let them in.

“Damn.”

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng felt bitter, very bitter. He was well into his forties and was alone with no partner.

He had to visit the Red Light District every day to deal with his needs, wasting a lot of Spiritual Stones and gradually exhausting his wealth.

Yet, this young man had already gained the favor of a beautiful female cultivator.

It’s clear how comfortable his daily life must be. It’s true what they say, you die of envy if you keep comparing yourself to others.

He went back to his own room, closed the door, and decided to block them out of his sight.

…

At this time, in the house, Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan had already sat down.

“So, how did the sale of Spiritual Wine go?”

Zhou Sui asked.

“Of course, it went well.”

Ji Bingyu smiled, “After all, with the soaring prices in Misty Cloud City, the price of Spiritual Wine has risen to a hundred lower grade Spiritual Stones per pot. We sold only a hundred pots but earned above ten thousand lower grade Spiritual Stones. The money comes so fast it feels like it’s burning my hands.”

She was truly amazed.

In truth, without Zhou Sui’s Spiritual Wine, she would have never known that earning Spiritual Stones could be so easy.

There’s no need to adventure outside, kill people for their treasures, or hunt down beasts. Just by selling Spiritual Wine, you can make an astonishing profit.

In the last six months, just from selling Spiritual Wine, they earned tens of thousands of lower grade Spiritual Stones.

They’d never dared to dream of such a life before.

“Don’t worry, we know that this amount of Spirit Stones is way too much, so we basically only work with taverns and don’t sell to ordinary loose cultivators. These taverns have a large demand, and can easily buy dozens of pots.”

“Most importantly, when we sell to the taverns, we alter our appearances before going. Even if they wanted to, it would be impossible for them to trace us.”

Mu Ziyi and Xia Jingyan explained.

After all, they had been loose cultivators for many years and knew how dangerous it is to be targeted by enemies, definitely resulting in attacks from other cultivators.

So, to avoid this, they always acted with caution, and never intended for others to know their true identities.

If other cultivators knew they’d made so many Spirit Stones, they would certainly be attacked, causing a great deal of danger.

“To tell the truth, it’s not totally risk-free. We have a feeling that after a half year of selling Spiritual Wine, the tavern bosses are beginning to suspect our identities.”

Ji Bingyu said in a grave tone.

With the strengthening of soul power, she became increasingly sensitive to hostility from others.

At first, the tavern bosses might not have had any ulterior motives, but as time went on, they started questioning the origins of the Bingyu and the others’ Spiritual Wine.

“In that case, we should suspend the sale of Spiritual Wine for now. Even if we can’t earn a lot of Spiritual Stones, your safety matters most. We absolutely cannot put ourselves in danger.”

Zhou Sui squinted.

He felt this was already a dangerous signal, no amount of caution would be excessive.
