Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 609: Tianci Zhenjun: Oh no, I’ve become a foil!
Then the two of them stood up and left the bedroom. At this time, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle came to report.
"The True Lord Tianci has arrived!"

Zhou Xun immediately took Jiang Wanning to the reception room.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw Tianci Zhenjun sitting in the guest seat, sipping a cup of spiritual tea in his hand.

"I just got here not long ago too. Fairy Jiang is here too!"

Tianci Zhenjun waved his hand. When he saw Jiang Wanning following Zhou Xun, he was stunned at first, then he showed a look of sudden realization and smiled slightly.

"Greetings, Senior Ji!" Jiang Wanning bowed with an extremely respectful attitude.

She had been able to live a better life in the Immortal City before, all thanks to the help of Lord Tianci.

"You are too polite, fairy. Brother Zhou and I are close friends. This is just a trivial matter and it is not worth mentioning!"

Tianci Zhenjun then turned his gaze to Zhou Xun.

"Today is the annual exchange meeting of Xiancheng. Do you want to go there?"

"Of course I won't miss such a grand event. It's just the right time for me to go there with Brother Dao. Speaking of which, I have made a lot of preparations for this exchange meeting!"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Soon, the three of them went straight out of Zhou Xun's cave.

The exchange meeting will be held in Qingyue Building!
Qingyue Tower is the largest restaurant in Zhenhai Fairy City, and is officially opened by the Fairy City government.

The building sells almost all kinds of delicacies, spiritual wines, and spiritual teas from all over Central China, and there are even some fourth-tier spiritual items.

Going along the main road to the city's trade district, you can see a five-story building covering an area of ​​more than 200 feet, standing majestically in the middle, like a giant beast.
A long banner was hung from the top of the building, with the three big characters "Qingyue Tower" inscribed on it. There were also two guards at the door, with cultivation level in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Even from more than ten feet away, you can smell a faint aroma of wine, which is invigorating.

Zhou Xun did not hide the magical power of his Nascent Soul stage and was about to step in.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper came out to welcome him, bowed his hands and said:
"Hello, Elder Zhou, Elder Ji. Are you here to attend the exchange meeting?"

This person was the shopkeeper of Qingyue Tower. Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun were both guests of Xiancheng, and they were also half-superiors of the shopkeeper, so they knew each other.

"Not bad!" Zhou Xun nodded.

As he said that, he led Zhou Xun and the others straight upstairs, all the way to the fifth floor stairs, and said apologetically:

"The fifth floor is where the exchange meeting will be held. There are already many seniors inside. My cultivation is too low to go up."

"It can only be sent here!"

"Thank you!" Zhou Xun nodded slightly, then stepped onto the stairs and continued to go up.

The fifth floor was very large, about a hundred feet in size, and there were tables and desks arranged in a circle, where sixty or seventy monks were already sitting.

After a quick glance, it turned out that they were all at the Nascent Soul stage.
Many of them were old acquaintances of Zhou Xun, such as True Lord Qianchuan, True Lord Leiyu, and True Lord Fengyan, with whom he had had some unpleasantness!
But the most eye-catching thing is the two people in the middle.
A man in a white robe and a long beard, with an immortal look and a Taoist temperament, just like an immortal banished to the earth, is the leader of the righteous path, Tianyi Zhenjun.

The other one was wearing a black cloak and had a majestic temperament like a god from heaven. It was none other than Lord Yama, whom Zhou Xun had seen many times before.

Zhou Xun's heart sank. He didn't expect that even these two would come to participate. It seemed that there would be a lot of good things in today's exchange meeting.

The arrival of Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun instantly attracted the attention of everyone inside, and they all turned their eyes over.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Ji, come and sit here!" Master Qianchuan greeted them with a smile!

Zhou Xun and the other man followed suit and walked over slowly!
When passing by the tables of the cultivators, Yuanying cultivators and Tianci Zhenjun would greet them from time to time.

"It seems that Brother Dao is also very famous in the Immortal City!" Zhou Xun said with a smile!
"I think you will shine soon, little brother!" Tianci Zhenjun said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou——"

At this moment, a hearty male voice sounded and echoed in the space on the fifth floor. It was Lord Yama.

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators in the field looked sideways with surprised expressions!

Lord Yan Mo was an extremely proud person. He was always rude to cultivators of the same level. But now he took the initiative to greet an early Nascent Soul cultivator, which really surprised them.
At the same time, the look he gave Zhou Xun also became filled with doubt and uncertainty!

"This guy has a good appearance, but I wonder where he came from."

"Greetings, Alliance Leader Yu!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately bowed and cupped his hands to Tianyi Zhenjun who was standing next to him!

"Hahaha, this is the Master of Wangchuan, Zhou Xun, whom I told you about!"

"Don't think that he is only in the early stage of Yuanying now. In terms of strength, he is no worse than those mid-stage peak cultivators!"

Lord Yanmo smiled and introduced Lord Tianyi to the side!
The sound was not loud, but everyone in the field was a high-level cultivator, so they could hear it clearly, and their expressions became even more exciting.

There was a lot of discussion!
Master Lei Yu had seen Zhou Xun at the Xiancheng auction before. At that time, he was still a Jindan cultivator. Now, only a few decades later,
Not only did Zhou Xun advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but he also attracted the attention of a powerful being like Lord Yan Mo. This really made him curious.
After all, even he, the Immortal Golden Elixir, did not receive such treatment when he came in just now!

As for True Lord Fengyan, he became gloomy. He was thought to be an ordinary Nascent Soul, but actually he was on good terms with True Lord Yama, which made things tricky!

Upon hearing this, Tianyi Zhenjun immediately smiled and bowed, returning the greeting to Zhou Xun:
"It's rare to be so highly respected by Old Demon Yu. It seems that another great talent will emerge in Zhongzhou!"

"Brother, you are too kind!" Zhou Xun said modestly.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he came and sat down next to Master Qianchuan.

"Brother Zhou, when did you recognize Alliance Leader Yu? You seem to be very familiar with him!" As soon as he sat down, Zhenjun Qianchuan asked hurriedly.

Next to him, there were two monks sitting, also showing curious expressions!

This is Lord Yama, the number one cultivator in Central Continent!

"I recognized it by chance when I first entered the Fairy City." Zhou Xun then talked about his experience when he entered the city that year.

"So that's how it is. This is a good opportunity for you, brother!" Zhenjun Qianchuan nodded and began to introduce several cultivators beside him.

"Speaking of which, I have been in Xiancheng for nearly a year, and I have not yet met other Taoist friends in Xiancheng."

"The man on my left is Elder Hong. He is the oldest Nascent Soul cultivator in our Immortal City, and he is also a fourth-rank lower-grade formation master!"

"Fellow Daoist Hong!" Zhou Xun immediately looked at the tall old man with a ruddy complexion and standing hair and beard, and bowed in greeting!

"I've heard from the city lord that a fellow Taoist has joined us. Today I see that he is indeed extraordinary. He is indeed worthy of being the noble man that even Alliance Leader Yu praises so highly!"

The old man laughed and seemed extremely happy!

"This is Fellow Daoist He. Fellow Daoist He is very famous in the South China Sea for his water magic!" Master Qianchuan pointed at the old man in green clothes beside him and said,

This person had gray hair and a thin face, looking gaunt and elegant! After the two of them exchanged simple greetings, they began a lively conversation.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, attracting everyone's attention.

Zhou Xun also subconsciously looked up and happened to see a familiar figure!

"Two cows!"

At this time, Wang Erniu was following behind a short, shabby-clothed weird old man.

If it wasn’t explained, who would have known that this strange old man was the peerless swordsman famous in Central Continent—Lord Nine Swords!
At this time, Wang Erniu also saw Zhou Xun's figure, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent a message:
"Brother, you are here too!"

"Come and see for yourself!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
Then Wang Erniu whispered a few words in the strange old man's ear.
At this time, the Nine Swords Master came towards Zhou Xun, and when he arrived in front of Zhou Xun, he said with a smile:

"You must be the Master Wangchuan that Erniu mentioned. You are indeed extraordinary!"

"Thank you for your praise!" Zhou Xun said modestly.

"Remember to come to my house for a drink when you have time. Let's get closer!" The old man said simply, and then took Wang Erniu to his seat.

This scene once again caught everyone's attention.
"Who is this Wangchuan Zhenjun? Both Zhenjuns are very friendly to him!"

"I don't know either, but to be treated like this by the two great True Lords, he must be extraordinary!"

"From today on, the name of Wangchuan Zhenjun will spread throughout the world!"

In the next half hour, more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators arrived one after another.

"cough--"

At this moment, Tianyi Zhenjun stood up and coughed lightly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"I think almost everyone is here, let's get started!"

At this time, there were about 140 Yuanying monsters sitting on the entire fifth floor, which was close to 40% of the people in the Immortal City!

This number has far exceeded Zhou Xun's expectations!
After all, this exchange meeting is held once a year, which is very frequent. Most of those who need to exchange have already released their items in the previous exchange meetings.

Secondly, at least one-third of the monks are stationed in various places and cannot come, so this exchange meeting can be considered a success!
"At this exchange meeting, every Taoist friend can display the treasures they want to exchange, and can also ask to buy treasures. All transactions are voluntary!"

"Gu will throw the jade first!"

The old man slapped his storage bag as he spoke, and took out five fourth-grade medium-quality talismans.

"Five fourth-level mid-grade attack talismans, exchange them for elixirs or related spiritual medicines that can improve your cultivation! Each person can only buy one. Of course, if no one wants it, it will be sold for spiritual stones, and the highest bidder wins!"

Tianyi Zhenjun said with a smile.

At his level, most of the treasures are of no use. He takes out these treasures just to benefit everyone and give many Nascent Soul True Lords an additional skill!
"I want one. How about a bottle of Essence Pill?" said a dark-skinned middle-aged man in the field.

"If it's a complete bottle, then there's no problem!" Tianyi Zhenjun said, taking the bottle from the man, carefully examining it, and nodding slightly.

"Yes, this bottle of medicine has sufficient medicinal power and is of good quality. You can exchange it. I wonder which one you want!"

"I want that 'Wood Dragon Talisman'!" the man said happily. It was obvious that he was a wood-attributed cultivator and could fully demonstrate the power of this talisman!

Soon, True Lord Tianyi handed over the talisman!

There are more than one hundred Nascent Soul cultivators in the field now, and only a quarter of them are middle or late stage cultivators. As for the remaining ninety people, which one is not interested in this talisman that can unleash the attack of a peak middle stage cultivator?

For these Yuanying early stage cultivators, this is definitely a treasure at the bottom of the box.
Many people in the venue showed eager expressions.

The same thing happened to Mr. Hong and the other man near Zhou Xun.
Even Zhou Xun was extremely tempted. To him, having too many talismans like this was never too much.

It’s a pity that what Tianyi Zhenjun wants is the elixir that can improve magic power, but Zhou Xun only has Danyuan wine!

But to exchange for a talisman, he would have to give out at least several dozen kilograms, so he wouldn't have much left, which was naturally impossible!
Suddenly, Zhou Xun became thoughtful!

True Lord Tianyi is already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Unless it is a treasure that can help him break through to the Divine Transformation stage, it will have no appeal to him!

He wanted to exchange for elixirs that could improve his magic power, not for himself, but for his sect!

For a sect, the elixir that can help one break through to a higher realm is what they desire most!

"If I take out that small infant-forming pill, are you afraid that I won't be able to compete?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun immediately stood up and said loudly:
"Brother Gu, I am willing to exchange one 'Small Infant Pill' for the fire-attributed 'Nine Dragon Talisman'!"

"Oh, it's this pill. Bring it over and have a look!"

Sure enough, when Tianyi Zhenjun heard the news about the pill, he looked towards Zhou Xun, and Zhou Xun immediately threw the bottle containing the Xiaojieying Pill over!

Tianyi Zhenjun took it and started to investigate.

"Not bad, I can give it to you!"

Then he threw the Nine Dragon Talisman over.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and put it into the storage bag. Mr. Hong and Mr. He beside him showed envy.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhou, for winning the Jiabao!"

“It was just luck.”

Next
The remaining three were quickly exchanged by the monks, and then True Lord Tianyi sat down!
Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and with a square face. He took out two bottles of elixirs for improving cultivation, which could support the early stage of Nascent Soul.
I want to exchange for a spiritual object that can repair the damage to my foundation!
It’s a pity that the things that can repair the foundation are all rare and precious things, and the middle-aged man can only sit there with his expectations shattered!

After that, one by one the monks took out their treasures, including elixirs, talismans, treasure refining materials, and spiritual herbs!
It's a pity that most of them are low-grade fourth-level ones, which is not of much interest to Zhou Xun.
After that, the exchange continues.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face stood up!

"I have a fourth-grade middle-grade purple coral. As you all know, purple coral is one of the rare treasures of the South China Sea. It can be used to refine purple essence pills, which are one of the best pills for improving magic power in the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Even for a mid-stage cultivator, it will have a great effect!"

"I want to exchange it for a top-grade attack magic weapon!"

As soon as the words fell, the scene became a little silent. Although many people were interested, most of them were reluctant to exchange it for a magic weapon, especially a top-grade one.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, although this purple coral is rare, it is not worth a top-grade magic weapon!" Someone questioned at this time!

After all, most of the cultivators in the field only have one top-grade magic weapon in their hands. This person wants to exchange a magic weapon for a spiritual medicine. He is really greedy!
Although Zhou Xun wanted this elixir, the difference in value was too great, so he naturally did not want to be taken advantage of.

Seeing no one responded, the middle-aged man was not embarrassed. He chuckled and added:

"I forgot to mention that this purple coral is not just one, but a pair!"
