Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 693 The First Immortal City in the Human World, Well-Deserved of Its Name 1
"Shopkeeper Ji, please bring that magical herb here for me to see."

When Zhou Xun heard that there was a fourth-grade intermediate spiritual medicine, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect to get it so easily.

You have to know that before this, every fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicine would take him countless hours of effort.

Now he could get it by just spending some spirit stones, which was really beyond his expectations.

"It seems that this Jinyang Fairy City is worthy of the name of the first fairy city in the human world. The resources are indeed rich!"

Zhou Xun decided that after leaving here, he would go to a few other shops to have a look, maybe he could buy one or two.

Ji Yu heard this and nodded with a smile.

"Please wait for a moment, fellow Taoist!" After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

But after a while, the old man returned.

There was also a maid behind him, holding a tray with a three-foot-long jade box on it.

There is also a spirit-sealing talisman on the lid of the box.

The spiritual patterns flickered, and at a glance, they were actually at the third-grade upper level!
"It seems that what Shopkeeper Ji said is true!"

The maid gently picked up the jade box and placed it on the table between Zhou Xun and Ji Yu.
He bowed once and then slowly retreated.

"Fellow Daoist, please look, this is the fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual medicine in our pavilion - the Seven-Colored Illusionary Ganoderma!"

Ji Yu smiled slightly, and waved his hand.
The soul-sealing talisman automatically fell off, and the box opened.

A colorful light instantly spread out.
Zhou Xun looked at it intently.
Inside the jade box, there lay a two-foot-long Ganoderma lucidum, as beautiful as jade and colorful in color.

The aroma of medicine is tangy, and the spiritual charm flows on the body, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight, as if in a dream!
"Yes, yes, it is indeed the 'Seven-Colored Fantasy Ganoderma'!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

He had seen this thing in ancient books before. It has excellent therapeutic effects on the damage to the soul of monks.

More importantly, this spiritual medicine is indeed of the fourth-grade middle grade.
As long as it is refined into a life spirit plant,

It only takes five years to reach the fourth level of excellence, which can improve the sensitivity of the body's spiritual roots.

Reach ninety-four points!

So he said:

"Shopkeeper Ji, I want this elixir. How much is it?"

Ji Yu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, this 'Seven-Colored Fantasy Ganoderma' is of perfect appearance and excellent quality. It is an extremely rare treasure."

"So the price will be higher, three top-grade spirit stones!"

"I want it!"

Zhou Xun agreed without any hesitation.

Then he waved his hand and took out three top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and placed them on the table.

Ji Yu glanced around, put away the spirit stone, and then pushed the jade box to Zhou Xun: "The payment is done, this 'Seven-Colored Fantasy Ganoderma' belongs to you!"

After completing a business deal, the old man was in a very good mood.
After Zhou Xun collected the elixir, he continued:

"I wonder if you are still interested in the exchange meeting!"

Zhou Xun nodded:

"Of course, but I don't know what the rules are for this exchange. I am determined to get this Deliverance Pill, so I need to make some preparations in advance."

Ji Yu stroked his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, the exchange meeting is a grand event held by my Jinyuan Pavilion. It is held once a year, and at least more than a hundred fellow Daoists come to participate!"

"In this exchange, our Jinyuan Pavilion will also bring out certain treasures, and this time we happen to have the Deliverance Pill that you are looking for!"

"As for the rules, they are extremely simple,"

"You just need to show the items you want to exchange and explain the conditions you want to exchange them for."

"If both parties reach an agreement, they can be exchanged!"

"However, to participate in this exchange meeting, you need to pay thirty high-quality spirit stones!"

"As for the Deliverance Pill, it is the most coveted treasure by all Yuanying Early Stage fellows. Every time it appears, the competition is extremely fierce!"

"I don't know exactly how much is needed, but the more the better!"

"Oh, by the way, if you want to participate in this exchange meeting, you need fifty high-quality spirit stones as the entrance fee!"

The old man said this with a slight smile, picked up the spiritual tea in his hand, took a sip and waited for Zhou Xun's answer.

'Really dark'

Hearing about fifty top-grade spirit stones, Zhou Xun couldn't help but complain inwardly.

This price can already buy a medium-grade magic weapon of lower quality.
Just from the ticket money, one exchange fair can earn you dozens of top-grade spirit stones!

No wonder he took out treasures like the "Du'e Pill", it must be to attract popularity.

But if he could get this pill, it would be worth his trip, so without hesitation, he took out fifty top-grade spirit stones and handed them to the old man.

“Fellow Daoist, take this talisman in your hand. Come to the fourth floor of my Jinyuan Pavilion in half a year, then you can join!” The old man took the spirit stone and took out a yellow talisman and handed it to Zhou Xun.

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

Zhou Xun took the talisman, bowed, and left immediately.
After leaving Jinyuan Pavilion, Zhou Xun went to several other large stores. Unfortunately, they did not have any fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicine.

Either it has been sold or it has been reserved by someone else.

"Even in Jinyang Immortal City, it is not so easy to obtain high-level spiritual objects above the fourth level!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Xun returned to the cave.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw an old man in gorgeous clothes, with a fair face and gray hair. He was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

At this moment, he was standing at the door, holding a sound transmission note in his hand, saying something.
I heard some noise behind me, so I turned around to check.

"Daoyou?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully.

"Hello, fellow Taoist. I am Tian Xinzi, and I live in the cave on your left. Today, I saw the magic formation of this cave open, and I thought a fellow Taoist had moved to a new house, so I came to visit him!"

As soon as the old man saw Zhou Xun, he bowed and pointed to the cave on the left.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Tian Xin. I'm Zhou Xun. We are neighbors from now on. Please come in and chat!" Zhou Xun also bowed in return.
The area he rented was full of fourth-grade middle-grade cave dwellings.

Those who can live here are basically Nascent Soul cultivators with prominent backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why Zhou Xun chose to rent this place.

Enter the reception room, and take your seats according to the host and guest.
"This is the puppet I usually refine. Although it is only level three, it is still very useful for guarding the cave and feeding spirit beasts!"

"I will give it to you today as a housewarming gift!"

The old man sat on the chair on the right, took out two ape-shaped puppets and handed them to Zhou Xun.

"Fellow Daoist is actually a puppeteer. I wonder what level of skill you have?" Zhou Xun's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"My skills are so insignificant that they are only at the lower fourth level. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Daoist!" The old man said modestly, but his tone was full of pride.

The defense and attack of the fourth-level low-grade puppet are both at the fourth level! Hearing this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
You know, he also knows a little about the art of puppetry, but unfortunately, due to the limitations of inheritance, he can only refine some third-level top-quality puppets now.

"Fellow Daoist Chu Yun is actually a fourth-level puppeteer. How disrespectful!" Zhou Xun said in amazement.

As we all know, puppeteers are recognized as difficult to deal with.
Imagine that during a battle, the opponent waves his hand and several beings as powerful as those of the same level besiege you. Who wouldn’t be surprised!
Taking into account this person's cultivation level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul,
His strength should be among the best among those below the great monks.

"I have nothing to give back for such a generous gift, but I am a fourth-rank, lower-grade formation master. If you have any questions about formations, feel free to ask me!"

Hearing Zhou Xun's identity as a formation master, Tian Xinzi became even more enthusiastic.
"I didn't expect that Brother Zhou is already a fourth-level formation master at such a young age. How disrespectful!"

"It is a great pleasure to meet fellow Taoists today. Let's try the Lingwu tea from my hometown!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and took out two teacups, then took out a few pieces of Lingwu tea leaves and put them into the teacups.
He clasped his hands together and pointed toward the teacup!
A flash of spiritual light flew out and hit it, and water in the teacup began to flow, and then it began to boil with a "gurgling sound"!

Wisps of the fragrance of tea began to emanate.

"please!"

"Please come in, fellow Taoist!" Zhou Xun picked up the teacup and pointed slightly into the distance.

Izumo picked up the teacup, pointed at it, 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, my state of mind became calm and peaceful!
"Good tea! I am also a tea lover. I consider myself to be able to taste all the magical teas in the world, but this is the first time I have tasted such a unique magical tea!!"

Tian Xinzi praised it highly,
"If you like, you can take some with you!" He took out two jade boxes and handed them over.

Inside was exactly half a liang of Lingwu tea.
He had prepared it in advance to be used as a gift.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders!"

Tian Xinzi then introduced some neighbors around.

Among these people, there are alchemists, weapon refiners, and beastmasters, many of whom have fourth-level skills.
Those that are a little worse can also reach the third-grade upper-quality level!
However, the Dajin cultivation civilization was prosperous, with various inheritances emerging one after another, and the Yuanying cultivators had powerful spiritual consciousness and a lot of time.

Studying the various arts of cultivation can also achieve twice the result with half the effort, which is why there are so many talented people today.

Then the two of them talked about some issues related to cultivation.
One of them was from Dajin, and the other from Donghuang. Their cultivation systems were quite different.

In contrast to each other, there are considerable gains.

Zhou Xun also had a clearer idea about his future advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

In this way, the two chatted for several days before saying goodbye.

A few days after Izumoko returned, people came to visit her every once in a while.

Most of them are neighbors living near Zhouxun.

This was naturally because Tian Xinzi spread the news that a new fourth-level formation master had arrived.

In this way, Zhou Xun successfully integrated into the Jinyang Fairy City.

Time flies, and soon half a year has passed.
The day for the exchange meeting held at Jinyuan Pavilion has arrived.

Arriving at Jinyuan Pavilion,
From a distance, I could see Shopkeeper Ji standing at the door welcoming guests.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is here!" Ji Yu laughed when he saw Zhou Xun coming.

"We are flattered that Manager Ji has come to greet us personally!" Zhou Xun returned the greeting with a bow, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then walked in, led by a servant.
I went straight up the stairs to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is a huge hall, which is over sixty meters wide, more than enough to accommodate two to three hundred people!

When Zhou Xun entered, there were already sixty or seventy people inside, most of whom were in the early Nascent Soul stage.

Zhou Xun found an empty seat and sat down.

He didn't know anyone around him.

But it is also conceivable that no one would participate in the annual exchange meeting unless they are in urgent need.

"My name is Jin Lu, nice to meet this fellow Taoist!" At this moment, a middle-aged man next to Zhou Xun greeted him with a smile. He was in the early Nascent Soul stage.

"Zhou Xun, nice to meet Brother Jin!" Zhou Xun bowed!

"Brother Zhou must have come here for the Deliverance Pill!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"That's right, isn't it, fellow Taoist?"

"It was originally, but it's not now!" The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head.

"Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

"Fellow Daoist, please look," the middle-aged man pointed to a place in the northwest, where a young man wearing a golden crown and a yellow brocade robe sat.
Several monks nearby surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon, telling him something.

"That person is His Excellency Prince Yu, the fifth son of the current Emperor Jin. I heard that he also came for the Deliverance Pill!"

"With him taking action, there's no way we can replace him!" the middle-aged man shook his head.

"I heard that the Great Jin Dynasty controls the whole world and has so many treasures. How could the prince of the current dynasty compete with us for an elixir?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully.

"Who knows? Maybe he just did it on a whim. But with him here, I'm afraid we don't have a chance!"

"After all, in terms of wealth, who can compare with the royal family?"

The middle-aged man sighed.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun frowned.
If you ask him to give in, he will definitely not do so.

This is a chance to advance to the middle stage. If you miss it this time, who knows when you will get the chance next time.

"Even if we compare our wealth, I have nothing to fear from a mere prince!" Zhou Xun thought.
In the great war between humans and demons, he killed countless fourth-order demon kings, and the spoils alone were a huge number.

In short, he couldn't give up the Du'e Pill for nothing.
As the two chatted, half an hour passed quietly and the seats on the fourth floor were basically full.

Just then, Ji Yu walked in from the entrance.
Straight to the middle.
He first bowed to everyone around him, and then said:
"Thank you all for your consideration and for participating in this exchange. The rules remain the same. All of you will come on stage one by one to display your own treasures and the treasures you wish to exchange!"

“After the exchange meeting, there will be an exchange meeting!”

"At the same time, our Jinyuan Pavilion will also take out two Deliverance Pills for exchange, and the time will be set in the middle of the exchange and after it is over!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was delighted.

With two pills, I don’t have to worry about competing with Prince Yu!

The middle-aged man named Jin next to Zhou Xun also became excited and sent a message to Zhou Xun:

"It must be that Shopkeeper Ji saw Prince Yu here and took out the second pill. Now we have a chance!"

"This time, I will start by throwing out some ideas."

Ji Yu slapped his waist and took out another fist-sized egg.

"One egg of a third-grade, high-quality flying spirit beast, the blue-feathered eagle beast."

"As you all know, the Green Feather Eagle is a wind-attributed spiritual bird with extremely fast speed, making it an excellent choice as a mount!"

"Exchange for one hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
