Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 612: This business is done!
"Take me there quickly!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, as it meant that his precious talisman paper had been found!

Follow the Red Noon Spirit Turtle to the reception room.

Then he saw a thin old man in a green robe sitting at the table, intoxicated by the taste of Lingwu tea.

I heard a voice behind me, so I turned around to look.

It turned out to be an old man with a gaunt face. This man was the same person I had seen at the exchange meeting at Qingyue Tower a few days ago.

"It turns out to be Master Yun Hui. Sorry for the long wait. I have just returned from a trip. Please forgive me for my negligence!"

Zhou Xun bowed as a sign of greeting and sat down next to the old man!
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. I am Li and I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited!" The old man bowed in return.

"Besides, being able to taste this kind of top-grade spiritual tea is well worth the trip, haha!"

"If you like it, Fellow Daoist Li, you can pack some for yourself when you leave. I'm not bragging, but all those who have tasted this tea, such as Tianci Zhenjun and Qianchuan Zhenjun, have praised it highly!"

Zhou Xun said with a smile, his attitude was very generous,

"Really? Then I will respectfully obey your order!" The old man was delighted when he heard it and accepted it immediately.
After chatting for a while, the two began to talk about business.

"I just heard Chi Wu say that fellow Daoist came here to refine talismans?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Yes, I heard at the exchange meeting that fellow Taoists could exchange animal skins for customized talismans, but there were too many people around at the time and I didn't want others to know, so I didn't make the deal."

"So I came here today just for this matter!"

As Master Yun Hui spoke, he slapped the storage bag on his waist. With a flash of light, a flash of spiritual light flew out of it, landed on the ground, and turned into a huge beaver skin!

"When the two tribes fought, I was stationed on the southern front. With the help of the formation, I successfully killed this beast. All other materials have been properly disposed of, only this animal skin is still in my hands."

After the war, the price of monster materials dropped. Although the three major forces purchased them together, many cultivators did not choose to sell them, but kept them in their storage bags.

Wait until the price goes up again before making any moves. I think Yun Hui Zhen Jun is one of them.

This indirectly facilitated Zhou Xun, otherwise it would not be easy to get a fourth-level monster skin.

What's more, Zhou Xun needs more than just one.

"I wonder how many talismans I can get in exchange for this fourth-level beaver skin?" asked Master Yun Hui.

Zhou Xun stood up and spread his consciousness to investigate carefully.

This beaver skin is very complete and contains a lot of spiritual energy. It is a top-quality skin, so he said:

"I exchanged six talismans at the previous exchange meeting, and it is natural to do the same now!"

The old man heard this and had no objection.

He was moved by the price of Zhou Xun's six talismans. Even in the past, fourth-grade animal skins had not been priced this high.

"Okay, let's do as you said. Six talismans will be enough, and this beaver skin will belong to you, Brother Zhou!" The old man smiled and pointed at the skin in front of him.

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Xun was very happy to be able to reach a deal. He put the leather into the storage bag with a wave of his hand, and then continued to ask:
"I wonder what kind of talismans Fellow Daoist Li would like to order?"

"I am a cultivator of the fire attribute, so naturally I hope that these six talismans are all of the fire attribute. As for the types, two defense talismans and four attack talismans will be enough!"

Upon hearing this, the old man blurted out the words without hesitation, obviously he had thought about it in advance!

"No problem, I will draw two fourth-level fire shield talismans and four nine-dragon talismans for you. If I can't produce so many talismans in the end,"

"If there is a vacancy, I will compensate you with two top-grade spirit stones for one. Please rest assured, fellow Taoist."

"I will be able to finish drawing the talisman in a month, and you can come and take it away then!" Zhou Xun said slowly.

"Then I'll trouble you fellow Taoist!"

The old man was overjoyed. He said goodbye and left without staying any longer.

After the old man left, Zhou Xun did not delay too much.

He went straight into the training room and took out the fourth-level beaver skin.

Then he flipped his hand, took out the sharp blade, and swung it gently.
A cold light flashed,
A small piece of the animal skin was cut out, and then a spell was performed, and a stream of infant fire hit it to refine it.

A few hours later, a fourth-level talisman paper with a shining glow appeared in Zhou Xun's hand.

After refining this one, Zhou Xun used the same technique again and refined six pieces before stopping.

Because of this animal skin, Zhou Xun wanted to refine a treasure talisman, and the refining process of treasure talisman paper was different from that of ordinary fourth-level talisman paper.

If these six fourth-level talisman papers are not all successful, Zhou Xun will split some animal skins to refine them.
The remaining animal skins can be refined into precious talisman paper to the maximum extent possible.

On this day, in the training room,
Zhou Xun took out a cushion and sat cross-legged in front of a table.

Close your eyes slightly, meditate and regulate your breathing.

About half a minute later, all his energy and spirit reached its peak. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a calm gaze.

"It's now!"

He had refined the fourth-level talisman several times before, so he had some experience. He had a strong premonition that the success rate this time was very high.
He reached for the storage bag at his waist, and several rays of light flew out and landed on the table in front of him.

A box of fourth-grade spiritual ink, six pieces of fourth-grade inferior talisman paper, and the top-grade magic talisman pen "Golden Zhu".

With a slight movement of his fingers, a spiritual fourth-level talisman paper automatically flew up, slowly fell down, and spread flat on the table.
Looking at this piece of talisman paper, I reviewed the process of refining the Fire Shield Talisman again in my mind.
Then he picked up the talisman pen without hesitation, dipped it lightly in the spiritual ink, and began to write on the talisman paper in front of him.
The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and everything is done in one go.
The spiritual circuits are instantly connected!
After waiting for a few breaths, there was no change on the talisman paper, only a faint overflow of spiritual light, showing that this talisman was extraordinary!

"Good, good, it looks like it was successful!" Zhou Xun was delighted.

At this step, the drawing is complete, and the next step is to seal the spirit.
He made hand gestures with both hands, and a beam of light hit the talisman.

"The art of sealing the soul!"

As this spell was cast, the talisman instantly became silent and became extremely ordinary, but Zhou Xun's consciousness was able to sense the powerful spiritual power contained in it.
It just waits for its owner to activate it so that it can burst out with powerful power again.

At this point, the fourth-level fire shield talisman was finally successfully refined.

While the feeling was still there, Zhou Xun simply adjusted his breathing for a while and then continued to draw.

Seven days later, Zhou Xun opened the door of the training room again.
He looked delighted, and it was obvious that the result was good.

This time, Yun Hui Zhenjun commissioned that all six talismans had been refined. More importantly, Zhou Xun only spent eight pieces of talisman paper in the end.
This also means that Zhou Xun's current success rate of fourth-level low-grade talismans has reached an astonishing 70%. Even veteran talisman masters are no more than this.
And Zhou Xun has only been at this level for less than a year.

In the following days, Zhou Xun refined the remaining beaver skins into talisman paper, and finally produced eight pieces.

Time flies, and three months have passed in a flash.

Zhou Xun sat in the hall, picked up the spiritual tea, poured himself a cup, and sipped it carefully.

During this period of time, he finally collected all forty pieces of precious talisman paper, and even had some animal skins left over, which he refined into ordinary fourth-grade low-quality talismans.

Since Yun Hui Zhenjun left, Zhou Xun's talisman customization business has suddenly become very popular. Four Yuanyings have come in a row.
He directly contributed four animal skins to Zhou Xun, and from then on, the materials for refining the talisman were directly solved.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind me, bringing with it a burst of fragrant wind.

"Young Master seems to be in a good mood!"

The person who came was Jiang Wanning, who walked over and sat down next to Zhou Xun.

"Haha. I got something!" Zhou Xun laughed, and then he scanned with his spiritual sense.
"You are not bad either. Your cultivation has been improving quite a lot recently!"

"I have to thank you for the spiritual wine!" During this period of time, Jiang Wanning would drink a small sip of Danyuan wine before each practice.
This made her practice speed several times faster than before.

If one could maintain this speed of cultivation, he would be able to reach the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan stage in less than ten years.

"How is your practice of "The True Scripture of a Hundred Insects" going?" Zhou Xun asked.

“I’ve basically mastered it!”

"That's great. I'll go out with you to Wuliu Pavilion to see if there are any suitable insect eggs!" He had promised Jiang Wanning before that he would buy spirit insects with her.

With the help of this Yuanying Zhenjun, it is easier to buy some rare varieties.

"Then I'll be in trouble, sir!"

Then, the two of them walked out of the cave gate and headed towards Wuliu Pavilion in the trading area of ​​the city.

In just half a minute, we arrived at our destination!
This pavilion covers an extremely large area of ​​several hundred feet, with more than a dozen doors in the east, south, west and north. There are cultivators constantly coming in and out, all of whom are cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Zhou Xun took a few glances and then took Jiang Wanning in.

"Meet Senior Zhou, and this senior,"

Seeing Zhou Xun's figure, a young man in a green robe came up and bowed to the ground.

"The shopkeeper has instructed that the seniors are honored guests of the building. Please follow me to the elegant room to rest. The shopkeeper will be here soon!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
This person was none other than the servant whom Zhou Xun met when he first came here, and it was also he who received Zhou Xun the last time!
The young man was flattered when he heard this. This was Yuanying Zhenjun, and he was so polite to a small person like him. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"I am truly honored that the senior treats me this way!"

"Haha, just lead the way!"

Zhou Xun is not a person who bullies the weak. On the contrary, he does not have a condescending or bossy attitude towards some small people!

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the elegant room he had been to last time.
"Is this the Wu Liu Pavilion that Young Master mentioned? It is indeed the number one chamber of commerce in Central Continent. Even one of its elegant rooms is surrounded by fourth-level restrictions!"

Jiang Wanning glanced around and couldn't help but marvel at the sight.

At this moment, a wealthy middle-aged man in a brocade robe appeared at the door. He walked in with a smile. It was Gao Yuan, the owner of this building.

"Dear Daoist Zhou, I apologize for not being able to greet you from afar!" Shopkeeper Gao bowed and then looked at Jiang Wanning next to him.
"I wonder who this is?"

"This is my good friend Fairy Jiang. I came here today to buy some treasures for her!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Then he pointed to the plateau and introduced:
"This is the shopkeeper Gao of Wuliu Pavilion!"

"Greetings, Senior Gao!" Jiang Wanning bowed and saluted.
"Fairy, there is no need to be so polite. What treasure do you need?" The middle-aged man smiled and cupped his hands. He did not look down on Jiang Wanning because of her cultivation level of the Jindan stage.

"I want to buy some spirit insect eggs. Do you have any for sale in your pavilion?" Jiang Wanning asked with a bow.
"Spiritual insect?"

"Although this item is not common, our Wuliu Pavilion just happened to have collected a batch of spirit insect eggs. Since the fairy wants it, I will bring it over and let the fairy choose it!"

"Please wait a moment!"

Having said that, the shopkeeper stood up again and walked out of the elegant room.

Jiang Wanning was overjoyed when she saw this, and quickly said:

"Sir, I didn't expect that Wu Liu Pavilion actually had spirit insects for sale. It seems that I may be able to successfully practice the Hundred Insects Sutra!"

"Hahaha, Wuliu Pavilion is the number one chamber of commerce in Central China. It owns countless treasures, so a mere spirit insect is naturally no problem."

"Even if there is none here in Zhenhai Fairy City, we can mobilize them from branches in other places!" Zhou Xun laughed.

As the two were talking, Manager Gao came back. The difference was that this time he was holding a tray with four jade boxes on it.

Putting the tray on the table in front of the two people, Manager Gao pointed to one of the jade boxes and introduced it:

"This is the Iron-backed Ant. Although the name is not nice, it is indeed a very rare spiritual insect in the world of cultivation."

"If the fairy is nurtured well, it can evolve into a flying ant. Even a cultivator in the late Jindan stage will probably have to avoid it!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wanning subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xun.
This ant is indeed introduced in the "True Scripture of Insects". It starts from the iron-back ant and evolves into the flying ant. However, this ant can evolve again.
Becoming a Golden Crystal Ant, at this level, even a Nascent Soul True Lord would have to retreat.
The disadvantage is that once these ants are cultivated, their number will be extremely large, often tens of thousands, and they need to consume a large amount of spiritual ore when evolving.
It is impossible for ordinary monks to bear it!

"This insect is good, but the cost of breeding it is too high. Please introduce the next one!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was not surprised at all and continued to introduce:

"This is a Spirit Hidden Spider. There are not as many of them as the Iron-backed Ants. There is only one pair. Moreover, this insect has the ability to hide its body, making it a good helper for reconnaissance!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xun and Jiang Wanning. Seeing that they didn't react, he continued to introduce the next one:
"This is the Ice Soul Silkworm, an ice-attributed insect."

"Speaking of which, this insect is the most bizarre one. If it can be cultivated to the highest level of the Extremely Cold Heavenly Silkworm, it can also be on par with the Yuanying Zhenjun."

"It's just that this insect is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the probability of advancement is extremely low. Many people in the cultivation world of Zhongzhou have cultivated this insect, but there has only been one case in the past thousand years where it was finally advanced to the Extreme Frost Silkworm!"

"Most people who cultivate this insect do so for the icy silk it spits out. This is an excellent material for refining fire-proof robes!"

After saying that, he was about to continue the introduction, but was stopped by Jiang Wanning.
"I want this bug!"

She was an ice-attributed cultivator, and when she met the Ice Soul Silkworm, she felt quite compatible with it, so she did not make any other choice.
Zhou Xun naturally had no objection to this. Besides, who said that Jiang Wanning couldn't cultivate it into an extremely cold silkworm?

You know, in the Hundred Insects Sutra, there are several secret recipes to improve the evolution of spiritual insects!
