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

Chapter 1014: Chapter 399: Initial Stage of Refining Void Perfection_5 Chapter 1014: Chapter 399: Initial Stage of Refining Void Perfection_5 Some people were dumbfounded.

After all, the name of the widow Tao Qili was well-known throughout Fengxi City, and even her reputation had caused quite a stir in the Imperial City.

She had countless suitors.

Unfortunately, all were rejected by Tao Qili, who remained a solitary widow to this day.

Who could have expected this, to dive into love’s blossom in one’s old age.

Moreover, she married another cultivator, and this one wasn’t even a thousand years old—truly a case of an old cow eating tender grass.

“Tsk, tsk, Tao Daoyou is really going for the young ones, seems she prefers young lads over those of her age, no wonder none of her many suitors were to her liking, and she has remained single till now.”

Someone suddenly had an epiphany, feeling that they had seen through the other person’s preferences, which apparently favored young men.

“Nonsense, Zhou Daoyou is an incredible genius.”

“Barely seven hundred years old and already in the initial stage of Refining Void, not to mention a Seventh-Order Array Master.”

“It’s said he’s also a Sixth-Stage Pill Master, a prodigy overflowing in talent. Saying he’s the reincarnation of an Immortal wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

“Probably Tao Daoyou has her eye on Zhou Daoyou’s potential and wants to borrow his luck for her own advantage by willingly marrying down.”

“That woman is so calculating, to achieve immortality she stops at nothing, even if it means sacrificing her body,”

commented a Cultivator of the Void Refining with a sneer.

He felt he had long seen through the psyche of this woman, Tao Qili.

There was no such thing as love at first sight or a sudden pounding heart for her, it was all a premeditated plan, full of calculations.

He didn’t believe that someone like her, after going to such lengths, could still be that naive.

“Indeed, while we cannot say Zhou Daoyou will become a Mahayana Realm Cultivator for sure, becoming a Great Unification Ability figure is all but certain.”

“Such a talent, a future powerhouse of the Human clan, what could be closer than marrying him?”

“It’s a pity I’m not a woman, and I have no daughters, or I would definitely marry her off to him,”

mourned another Cultivator of the Void Refining.

He felt he shared Tao Qili’s way of thinking.

Unfortunately, the saying ‘a clever woman cannot cook without rice’ applies here.

He wasn’t a woman, nor did he have any daughters, thus was unable to achieve this.

“I do have daughters and granddaughters,”

“I once tried to make a match with Zhou Daoyou too.”

“Sadly, Zhou Daoyou never spared them a glance, one can only say it wasn’t meant to be,”

spoke several Cultivators of the Void Refining helplessly.

To be honest, over this period, they too had introduced many female cultivators from their own clans to Zhou Sui.

Even becoming a concubine would have been considered a worthy sacrifice.

But the person in question simply wasn’t interested.

They could only give up.

Otherwise, they would only offend him, and they were not so foolish.

“Let it go, let it go, this actually is good for our Fengxi City.”

“Now that Tao Daoyou has married Zhou Daoyou, with power united, Fengxi City stands unmatched.”

“Although Fengxi City is indeed monopolized, at least it can stay united and avoid division.”

“This is also a good thing for our Fengxi City.”

“After all, in the perilous Shattered Star Sea, our Human clan can’t afford internal strife,”

remarked a Cultivator of the Void Refining, squinting his eyes, clearly a man with deep schemes.

He was rather optimistic about the impact of this event; it might turn out to be a good thing.

At the very least, it would avoid conflict due to interest between the parties.

“Oh, the whole Fengxi Island is now protected by the Seventh-Order top-grade Five Elements Sumeru Mist Array. This island is thoroughly safe, and we’re unlikely to have any enemies approaching for the time being. We can start building more cities in other parts of the island.”

“Indeed, we need to start as soon as possible, given the increasing population of Fengxi City which it can no longer accommodate. Let’s move some mortals out first, to alleviate the burden on Fengxi City.”

“Once we’ve completely developed Fengxi Island, it will become our Human clan’s main base in the Shattered Star Sea, and we’ll have made a temporary foothold here.”

“Thank goodness for Zhou Daoyou. Without him, we might have already perished in the Shattered Star Sea.”

“Isn’t that the truth? I thought our time in the Shattered Star Sea would be miserable, with countless deaths and injuries, but the current situation is better than imagined,”

discussed several Cultivators of the Void Refining, feeling quite delighted.

They felt that the development of Fengxi City was actually on an upward trajectory.

……

At this very moment, within a Cave Mansion in the City Lord Mansion,

Daoist Fengxi was here cultivating in seclusion.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, terrifying void fluctuations appeared around her, as boundless worldly essence surged towards her.

With a ‘puh’ sound, suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staining the clothes on her body red.

“Damn it, the damage from the last Great Unification battle was too severe.”

“After spending such a long time, I still can’t fully recover.”

“I hope no major incidents have happened in Fengxi City lately.”

Daoist Fengxi felt helpless.

She had thought the injuries would heal quickly,

but even after one or two hundred years of seclusion, she had yet to fully recover.

At best, she had managed to suppress the injuries without further deterioration.

With these thoughts, she focused her Intention and immediately sent a message to her confidant, Shi Yuxi.

Whoosh!

In a short time, a graceful figure appeared in the Cave Mansion, dressed in a night suit that accentuated her striking figure, moving agilely like a cat. She seemed to merge with the void around her, her presence blending into the surroundings.

“Sister Fengxi, have your injuries not fully healed?”
