Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 596 Zhou Xun: I’ll just watch your performance!
Ever since he mastered the sword formation technique, Zhou Xun's focus has been on improving his cultivation.

Zhenhai Fairy City Cave Mansion,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes slightly closed.
According to the path of "Purple Sky Thunder Art", the Great Circulation is performed, and eventually it is refined into magic power and absorbed by the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

Perhaps it was because the technique was too powerful that tiny vortices of spiritual energy formed directly on his body surface.

Suddenly, a ray of light flew in from outside, landed on the restricted area above the training room, and flew around.

Noticing this, Zhou Xun put away his spell.

He looked inward with his spiritual sense and saw that his Nascent Soul had hardly changed, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"According to the current progress, it will take at least two hundred years to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage!"

Zhou Xun was not satisfied with this speed, but this was normal.

As his cultivation level increased, the qualifications of his incarnation became less and less noticeable.

After all, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage are all people with extraordinary talents. With the talent of 79 points of the Incarnation Thunder Spiritual Root,
Among Nascent Soul cultivators, he is no longer considered the top one!
"If this continues, it won't be long before the main body surpasses the incarnation!"

"Well, it seems that it is time to improve the qualifications of the incarnation!"

Previously, because spiritual medicines of the fourth-grade or above were too rare, Zhou Xun focused on his own body.

Then, Zhou Xun looked at the talisman, which turned out to be a sound transmission talisman. It seemed that someone had come.

With a flick of his finger, a flash of light flew out and hit the sound transmission talisman.
Instantly, a clear male voice was heard.

"Wang Lingfeng is here to visit Senior Zhou on the orders of his master!"

"It's him!"

This person was Zhou Xun's old acquaintance, Wang Lingfeng, a disciple of Master Qianchuan, also known as Master Huadu.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Qianchuan has something to tell me!"

Zhou Xun then stood up and walked out of the training room.

Passing by the insect room, Zhou Xun took a look inside. The swallowtail butterfly was still wrapped in a large white cocoon. Judging from the spiritual power fluctuations coming from it,

The day of breaking out of the cocoon should not be far away!
“I wonder what magical abilities it will have by then!” Zhou Xun was looking forward to it.

He came to the door and pulled it open.

I saw a handsome young man in his twenties standing respectfully at the door.
Seeing the door open and Zhou Xun walk out,

"I have seen the true king!"

The young man bowed to the ground and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, Brother Wang. You and I are old acquaintances. Why do you need to be so polite?" Zhou Xun said in surprise.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Besides, Master Zhenjun is my savior, so I should naturally accept it!" Wang Lingfeng replied.

"Well, let's talk inside if you have anything to say!" Zhou Xun stopped persuading him and took him to the reception room.

Wait till he sits down.

Zhou Xun prepared a pot of Lingwu tea for him and asked him why he came:
"I wonder what important matter Master Qianchuan has that requires you to come here in person to tell me?"

Wang Lingfeng took a sip of the spiritual tea, and when he heard Zhou Xun speak, he sat up straight and replied:
"I don't know what Master wants, he just told me to give this letter to Senior!"

As he spoke, he slapped his storage bag, took out a jade slip, and placed it in front of Zhou Xun with both hands.

Zhou Xun took it, probed his spiritual sense into it, and began to examine it.

"Brother Zhou, I have been busy recently and have not been able to come in person, so I sent Feng'er to pass on the message,"

"That fourth-grade top-grade 'Chiling Baozhi', Fengyan Zhenjun might have also taken a fancy to it. He just came to me today to ask about the situation of this medicine."

"Although this gentleman has only one great achievement, he is wealthy and has many friends. With the help of alliances, I'm afraid he will be able to complete three great achievements soon."

"Brother Zhou, if you don't want this medicine to fall into the hands of others, you need to gather all the medicine as soon as possible!"

After reading the contents, Zhou Xun's face darkened slightly.

Unexpectedly, competitors appeared so quickly, and now someone has taken a fancy to this drug!
It seems that he has to hurry up, otherwise if this elixir is exchanged by Master Fengyan, he will regret it!
Looking at the respectful Wang Lingfeng in front of him, Zhou Xun said:

"I already understand what your master meant. Please thank him for me and give him this reply letter!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun took out a jade slip and began to carve.

After finishing, he made a hand gesture, performed a simple spell to seal it, and handed it to Wang Lingfeng.

"Oh, and this box of spiritual tea, pass it on as well!"

Zhou Xun took out two more jade boxes and handed them to Wang Lingfeng.

"Two boxes?" The young man was a little surprised!
"I see you like this tea very much, so one of the boxes is for you!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
"No merit, no reward. Besides, I have already received great kindness from the senior, how can I accept this treasure?" The young man wanted to refuse.
"This tea can save you a lot of time in cultivation. If you feel sorry for it, you can help me again when you have the chance in the future!"

Hearing this, the young man looked at the spiritual tea. He had already experienced its powerful effect, so he gritted his teeth and accepted it.

"Thank you for your generosity, Senior. If there is any place where I can use the Spiritual Wind, please let me know!"

"Hahaha, such a great kindness, I won't keep you here, quickly deliver the reply to your master for me!" Zhou Xun said.

"Junior, take your leave!"

Immediately, Wang Lingfeng hurried back to Master Qianchuan with the reply letter and spiritual tea!
After he left, Zhou Xun began to think about where to get the third great merit.

"We can't really kill that guy Chi Wu!"

Zhou Xun glanced in the direction of a guest room.
"If I had known earlier that I would have killed him directly, I wouldn't have had so many troubles!" Zhou Xun shook his head.

At the same time, dozens of feet away, Chi Wu was concentrating on refining the elixir.

suddenly,

He felt a chill on his neck, as if he was being stared at by some kind of existence, and he immediately shrank back.
at this time,

"laugh--"

A puff of green smoke came out of the furnace in front of him, and the alchemy failed!
After Wang Lingfeng left, Zhou Xun no longer had the heart to continue practicing.
He was worrying about the third great achievement.
Just then, someone else came to visit!

"Why are there so many people coming to my house recently? When did I become so popular?"

Zhou Xun sighed, came to the gate of the courtyard again and opened it.

An old man with a thin face, a goatee and a blue Taoist robe with a crane feather on his chin stood at the door and looked at Zhou Xun with a smile.

"Master Yuxuan?"

Seeing this person, Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

"Just when I felt sleepy, someone brought me a pillow. This is truly God's help!"

Come to think of it, the fourth-rank mountain king under his command is also a demon beast, so it is also worth a great achievement!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun immediately walked up enthusiastically.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Yu Xuan. You really bring honor to my humble abode!"

"Haha, Daoist Wangchuan, you are too polite. The last time we met, we got along really well. I just finished my patrol mission and came to ask for a drink from you."

"I hope you won't mind coming here uninvited!"

Yuxuan Zhenjun joked.

"I've been waiting for you to come here, fellow Taoist. Please come in!"

Soon, the two of them walked into the door together, like a pair of old friends who had known each other for many years.

Arriving at the reception room, Zhou Xun took out the Lingwu tea and began to prepare it.
"I don't have any spiritual wine, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I do have a cup of spiritual tea!"

Soon the spiritual tea was brewed and handed over.

True Lord Yuxuan took the spiritual tea and took a sip.

As the tea goes down my throat, I feel it is sweet and moist. A warm current rises from my abdomen and slowly flows through my body, as if all the fatigue and worldly thoughts in my body have been washed away.

As the effect of the spiritual tea gradually emerged, his state of mind became calm and peaceful!
“Good tea, really good tea!”

Yuxuan Zhenjun praised it highly.

He wasn't saying this to flatter, he really liked it. "Haha, I'm not bragging, but this magical tea of ​​mine has been drunk by True Lord Tianci, True Lord Qianchuan and others, and everyone loves it!"

"When you leave later, just pack some!"

Zhou Xun said slowly.

"That's it, thank you very much!"

Soon the two began to discuss the way of cultivation. Perhaps in order to gain Zhou Xun's trust, Master Yu Xuan really showed his true ability.
He shared a lot of his cultivation experiences, which made Zhou Xun learn a lot.
Afterwards, the two of them talked about the Way of Spiritual Beasts.

Regarding this, Yu Xuan Zhenjun was even more of a master, which opened Zhou Xun's eyes.

It was not until late at night that Master Yuxuan said goodbye and left.

Looking at the old man's receding back, Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile.

"If this person wasn't his archenemy, it wouldn't be bad to be his friend!"

The next morning, Zhou Xun had just finished breakfast when he unexpectedly found Master Yu Xuan coming to his cave again. The two continued the topic from the previous day.

the next day,

Didn't Yuxuan Zhenjun come to visit Zhouxun's cave?

The relationship between the two is getting better and better, just like true best friends.

Zhou Xun even brought Master Yu Xuan to his insect room to check it out and ask him about the ways of spiritual insects.

As a beast-taming sect, although spirit insects are not mainstream, they are still dabbled in.

Looking at the swallowtail butterfly in the insect room, Master Yuxuan was greatly surprised.

"Your good fortune is truly the envy of others!"

These words really come from the heart.

After all, when he first met Zhou Xun, he was just a Jindan cultivator.

Now, within a hundred years, not only has his cultivation level been raised to the Nascent Soul Stage, but he also has a fourth-level transformed monster beast, the Scarlet Noon Monster King, as his mount.

Now he has even tamed spiritual insects such as the Swallowtail Butterfly.

When this insect grows into a phantom butterfly, it will be invincible to ordinary cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"It's just a bit of luck!" Zhou Xun waved his hand.

"As a cultivator of our generation, who doesn't want more luck?" Master Yuxuan said with emotion.

"However, I do have an ancient method for the cultivation of this insect. We hit it off right away, so I'll give it to you, Taoist friend!"

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Zhou Xun.

"This method is indeed very useful to me, so I would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

Zhou Xun took it and immediately scanned it with his spiritual sense and looked over.

"What? It's actually this thing!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed!

The jade slip records a method for refining an liquid called "Extremely Fantasy Mysterious Liquid".

However, this "Extremely Fantasy Mysterious Liquid" is the key to guiding the phoenix butterfly to transform into a fourth-level fantasy butterfly. It has long been lost in the world of immortal cultivation.

Zhou Xun was able to learn about this thing because it was also recorded in the Hundred Insects Sutra.
The person who compiled this sutra had a great regret that he was unable to collect the method of refining this substance, so he had to create a treasure called 'Phantom Spirit Liquid' as a substitute based on the characteristics of 'Extremely Fantasy Mysterious Liquid'.

But even this thing has only 130% of the efficacy of the Extreme Fantasy Mysterious Liquid!

"Fellow Daoist Yuxuan is truly my lucky star!"

The more Zhou Xun looked at Master Yu Xuan, the more he liked him. He was simply a gift from God to him!
"Haha, as long as it's useful to you, fellow Taoist!"

Time flies, and another half month has passed.

During this period of time, Master Yuxuan suddenly did not come, which made Zhou Xun feel a little uncomfortable.

Three days later, True Lord Yuxuan suddenly came to his cave in a hurry, looking exhausted, but unable to hide his joy.

"I feel a little uncomfortable since my friend hasn't been here for nearly a month!" Zhou Xun said with emotion.

"Do you know where I have been during this time?" the old man asked mysteriously.

"Where did you go?" Zhou Xun asked cooperatively.

The old man smiled slightly, patted his waist, and a flash of light fell on the stone table in front of him, turning into a three-foot-long jade box.

There is also a third-grade, top-quality soul-sealing talisman pasted on it!
"open to take a look!"

Zhou Xun had a look of surprise in his eyes, and a ray of inspiration flashed across his mind.

The soul-sealing talisman fell off automatically and the box opened.

At this moment, the temperature of the entire cave rose instantly, almost igniting the air.

At the same time, a pure spiritual energy rushed towards him!

Zhou Xun looked into the box:

I saw a two-foot-long, red Ganoderma lucidum lying quietly inside.
"This is a fourth-level intermediate spiritual medicine - Fire Cloud Mushroom!"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but be shocked!
This is something that monks who practice fire-attributed techniques desire very much, as it can enhance their understanding of fire-attributed magical powers!
More importantly, this magical medicine is something Zhou Xun has never obtained before.

This made Zhou Xun look at Master Yu Xuan with even more affectionate eyes.

Seeing the fiery look in Zhou Xun's eyes, Master Yuxuan was very pleased and said to himself:
'Now, you've taken the bait!'

He had already found out that Zhou Xun was looking to buy fourth-grade or higher spiritual medicine.

Therefore, when they met the Demon King of the Spirit Medicine Clan a few days ago, the two of them discussed this strategy of luring the enemy.
He took out a fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicine as bait, and invited Zhou Xun to go treasure hunting with him on the pretext of discovering an ancient medicine garden.

With Huoyunzhi as a witness, Zhou Xun would not doubt it and go with them.

In this way, when Zhou Xun was far away from Zhenhai Fairy City and arrived near the demon clan's sea area, they would attack together and kill him.

Then, the great revenge will be achieved.

And he, Yu Xuan, can also gain benefits from the demon clan, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

So he replied:
"Yes, it is a fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicine, but it is a fire-attributed one. I haven't had time to take out the wood-attributed one yet!"

"I haven't had time to take it yet. Could it be that fellow Daoist has discovered a medicine garden or ancient ruins?" Zhou Xun asked in surprise.

"That's right," Master Yuxuan nodded.

"I got a treasure map when I was on patrol before, and I went there to look for treasure some time ago. I didn't expect that there was an ancient medicine garden there."

"Unfortunately, the restrictions there were so severe that I only had time to grab a piece of Fire Cloud Mushroom before I was moved out!"

"It is a pity to go to a mountain of treasures and come back with nothing but the fur."

"I would like to invite you to go with me this time!"

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested?" He said, looking at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and nodded:

"I naturally don't want to miss this opportunity, but can you and I break through it?"

"I have investigated carefully. It is impossible for just you and me to do it, but doesn't Daoyou have a fourth-level spirit turtle under his command?"

"With my Shan Jun, that's four Nascent Souls in total. If we join forces, it will be no problem to break the restriction!"

"This is also the reason why I am looking for you, fellow Taoist. After all, there are fewer people to share the spoils with, hehe!" Master Yuxuan said with a cunning look.

"My friend, you are right. In that case, I agree!" Zhou Xun agreed.

"Although you have agreed to go, the distribution still needs to be agreed upon in advance."

"After breaking the restriction, I will get 60% of the treasures inside, and I will have priority in choosing the first treasure. How about that?" asked Master Yuxuan, as if he would drop the matter if Zhou Xun disagreed.

"The medicine garden was discovered by fellow Daoist, so it is natural and reasonable to allocate it this way!" Zhou Xun nodded.
"Well, you and I will agree to set off together in three days!"
