Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 695: The Dark Spirit Butterfly, all the disciples have formed their elixir!
"Congratulations, husband, you have successfully advanced the level of the Phoenix Butterfly!" Lin Xueying smiled in surprise, making the entire cave come alive.

"Haha!" Zhou Xun laughed.
The third metamorphosis was successful, and it was one step closer to advancing to the 'Phantom Spirit Butterfly'.

As long as it transforms once more, it will face the fifth transformation, which means being promoted to the fourth level and achieving the level of "Dark Fantasy Butterfly".

"It seems that the 'Phantom Spirit Fluid' used for advancement should also be prepared in advance!"

At the same time, the violent spiritual energy returned to calm, and the spiritual energy ball gradually dissipated, leaving only a white cocoon with restrained brilliance!

Its surface slowly began to wriggle, revealing a bulge, and then it broke open from the inside.

I saw a sharp blue foot exposed, and then a small hole appeared in the cocoon, which became bigger and bigger.

Finally, the whole swallowtail butterfly came out.

A seven-inch-sized Psylocke slowly flew out.
At this time, its posture became more elegant, the original dark blue became deeper, the patterns on its wings became more complex and mysterious, and it faintly emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations.

Zhou Xun carefully sensed its aura.
"Sure enough, it has grown a lot compared to before!" I couldn't help but feel happy!
At this time, the swallowtail butterfly also showed a burst of joy, and then flapped its wings, flew happily to Zhou Xun's shoulder, and rubbed it affectionately.

It’s a pity that it’s difficult to stimulate the intelligence of insect monsters. Even if they reach the third level, their wisdom is still low.

I gently stroked the swallowtail butterfly.

Then he slapped his storage bag and took out a jade bottle about an inch in size, which contained third-level spiritual liquid.

Pull out the cork from the bottle and gently pour out five soybean-sized drops of spiritual liquid into the palm of your hand.
The swallowtail butterfly immediately felt delighted, fluttered into Zhou Xun's hands, and greedily sucked the drop of spiritual liquid.

But in just a moment, it was all absorbed.
But then, he had another consciousness.
"Want more?"

Zhou Xun said in astonishment. You know, each bottle of this third-level spiritual liquid only has a hundred drops, and the price of each bottle is as high as 100,000 spiritual stones.

And it needs to be fed once every half a month.

Then Zhou Xun continued to pour out,
I have poured ten drops of spiritual liquid, but I still don't feel satisfied.

“What a consumption!”

Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This spirit butterfly is good, but it consumes a lot of energy. Before this transformation, it consumed two bottles of third-level spirit fluid every year, which is more than 200,000 spirit stones.

Not to mention after the transformation!
If the third stage was still like this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a headache.
Suddenly, looking at the spiritual liquid in his hand, his heart moved.
"This swallowtail butterfly loves spiritual liquid so much. If I feed it with the essence of my own spiritual plant, I wonder what the effect will be!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun decided to give it a try.
Then he made a seal with both hands and pointed towards himself.
I saw the green lotus in Zhou Xun's Dantian flash with light, and then a ball of green essence the size of a little finger flew out.
Floated out from Zhou Xun's mouth.

At the moment when the essence came out, the swallowtail butterfly seemed to go crazy and flew towards the essence desperately.

At the same time, there came a feeling of extreme desire.

"It's yours, don't worry!" Zhou Xun laughed.
So the control over the swallowtail butterflies was relaxed.

It turned into a blue afterimage, flew straight to the green essence, and swallowed him in one gulp.
The originally dark blue spirit butterfly began to emit faint green light, and after a while it began to retreat.

After the swallowtail butterfly absorbed the essence, it immediately became shaky and flew crookedly towards the nest.

However, after flying for a short while, it suddenly hit something, stopped suddenly, and fell from the air.

Zhou Xun waved his hand quickly.
An invisible force will gently lift the swallowtail butterfly and slowly send it to the nest.

"Husband, is there any problem in attracting the swallowtail butterflies?" Lin Xueying said worriedly.

"Don't worry, there's no problem!" Zhou Xun comforted.

He had just investigated and found that the swallowtail butterfly was attracted because the essence it absorbed was too nutritious and all its energy was used to digest it.

“I never thought that the half-accumulated essence of my life spirit plant would have such an effect on him!”

"Just looking at its appearance, it's not going through a fourth transformation!" Zhou Xun thought.
"In that case, I should also start preparing the refining of the Phantom Spirit Fluid!"

The Phantom Spirit Liquid was the treasure that Zhou Xun had seen recorded in the Spirit Insect Heritage that could help the Swallowtail Butterfly evolve into the 'Phantom Spirit Butterfly'.

It is said that the "Ultimate Fantasy Spirit Liquid" is more effective, but unfortunately that treasure has long been lost and no one knows how to refine it.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and took out the jade slip that recorded the art of the spirit insect.

His spiritual consciousness probed into it and began to check the method of refining the phantom liquid.

However, when he saw the content clearly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The refining method is fine. With his skills as a fourth-level alchemist, it is easy to solve!"

"This material alone is a big problem!"

"It takes more than twenty kinds of materials to refine the phantom liquid. Most of them are common and I can gather them all."

"The only thing that is difficult is the three most important ingredients!"

"The first is the 'Heavenly Spirit Wood Marrow Fluid', which is the essence produced by the fourth-grade low-grade Heavenly Spirit Wood. Only twelve drops are produced every hundred years."

"And refining this phantom spirit requires five drops!"

"The second one is the 'Nine-bend Magical Ginseng', a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual plant. It is also one of the very few spiritual medicines that can directly enhance spiritual consciousness. It is extremely precious. Even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would regard it as a treasure if he came across it!"

"The third type is the 'Golden-Winged Cloud-Stepping Eagle's Heart Essence'. The Golden-Winged Cloud-Stepping Eagle is an extremely rare spiritual bird with dual attributes of gold and wind. When it reaches adulthood, it will be a fourth-level spiritual bird!"

"He is definitely a natural born demon king. Not to mention that this demon is extremely rare, even if we find him, it is not easy to take his essence and blood!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh,
Can I really put it together?
And this is only the material for refining the "Phantom Spirit Liquid", an imitation of the "Extreme Phantom Spirit Liquid". I don't know how difficult it is to refine the real "Extreme Phantom Spirit Liquid".

But thinking about it the other way around, since the "Phantom Liquid" is so difficult to refine, its medicinal effect must be extraordinary.

"Fortunately, I can now travel between the three major cultivation realms, and the range of treasure hunting is extremely wide!"

"I just don't believe it. Even if I unite the three places of East Wasteland, Central Continent and Dajin, I can't gather these three treasures!"

At this moment, a light voice sounded, it came from Lin Xueying. She saw Zhou Xun frowning slightly,

Don't worry about opening:
"My dear, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"Nothing, I just took a look at the spiritual objects needed to induce the evolution of the swallowtail butterfly, and I had a sudden inspiration!" Zhou Xun then told Lin Xueying the refining process and materials of the phantom liquid.
"With my husband's ability, it shouldn't be a problem!" As she spoke, even she felt a little unconfident!

"Forget it. If there is a chance, we can certainly gather them together!"

"Today marks the third metamorphosis of the Swallowtail Butterfly. It is a great event, so how can we not celebrate it!" Zhou Xun laughed.

Lin Xueying blushed slightly when she heard this.
As their cultivation became higher and higher, each of them would be in seclusion for several years or even decades, and it was common for them to see each other once every few decades.
Therefore, it is not so easy for the couple to have some fun with Qin Le.

Today is a coincidence.

So he whispered:
"Let my husband do what he wants!"

Zhou Xun laughed, picked up Lin Xueying and strode towards the bedroom.

Half a year later, above an island in Wangchuan Lake,
A vortex of spiritual energy with a radius of several dozen feet appeared in the sky.
Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying, their husband and wife, Zhou Jinsong, Xu Shaoqing, Wang Shun and other disciples, as well as Xing Huaian, Yuan Paner, and Zhou Ping and Zhou Jing, the third generation disciples,
They all watched the ceremony from a distance.
Today is the day when Zhou Xun's second disciple Shi Wanying will form her elixir.
Since Lin Youshan achieved Dan three years ago, among Zhou Xun's six disciples, only Shi Wanying has not achieved Dan.
Fortunately, today, she finally touched the opportunity to form a pill, so she came to the training room and took the super-quality crystal-condensing pill that Zhou Xun rewarded her with.

Ordinary genuine crystal condensing pills can increase the success rate by 30%, while super-quality ones can increase the success rate by 30%.
Zhou Xun guessed that this pill could even improve it by 50%!
A one in two probability, how terrifying it is.

"My dear, I never thought that Wanying, who was just a little girl back then, has now reached the stage of Dan!" Lin Xueying couldn't help but think of the time when she was in Qingyuefang.
Shi Wanying often came to Zhou Xun's cave, and Lin Xueying liked her very much at that time.

"Yes, judging from the spiritual energy vortex, it is extremely solid. I think it shouldn't be a problem to condense a real pill!"

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, extremely satisfied.

The lifespan of a Jindan cultivator can reach five hundred years. If he takes some top-grade longevity pills, living to six hundred is not uncommon.

Zhou Xun has been supporting these disciples until now and has done his best.

Xing Huaian had a complicated expression. He really didn't expect that

Shi Wanying was the person with the lowest cultivation level among Zhou Xun's companions, and her aptitude was only of the middle grade, yet she had also achieved the Jindan stage.

Judging from this vision, the quality is no lower than his.

However, he, as the most gifted person in Baiyun Immortal City at that time, a cultivator with earthly spiritual roots, only condensed a low-grade true pill.
It might be a luxury to advance to the middle stage of Jindan in this lifetime!
Such a gap made him feel extremely complicated. With the development of Wangchuan Lake, there would inevitably be more and more Jindan cultivators. As the first generation ancestor who had no path to the Tao, his say would only become lower and lower!
Zhou Jinsong, Shi Wanying's husband, was with his two sons Zhou Ping and Zhou Jing. He looked at the whirlpool in the distance, but his face was full of tension.
Although the success rate is extremely high, there is still a risk of failure, so he dare not relax at all.

He didn't dare to imagine what he would do if Shi Wanying failed to form the elixir.

Xu Shaoqing and several other fellow brothers and sisters showed happy expressions.

The friendship between the two disciples over the years was deep. Xu Shaoqing looked at the spiritual energy vortex and said to Wang Shun beside him with a smile:

"Senior sister has finally formed a pill this time, so we can be together for hundreds of years to come!"

Wang Shun nodded and said yes, smiling broadly.

Shi Wanying has a more special meaning to him.
He became Zhou Xun's disciple and was raised and taught by Zhou Jinsong and his wife. In other words, Shi Wanying was both his sister and mother.

Before this, he had always been worried about Shi Wanying's lifespan. After all, she was nearly two hundred years old now and her death was not far away.

Now it seems that there is no need to worry!
Soon, another day passed, and the phenomenon continued until the fourth day.
The strange phenomenon finally began to weaken, and then slowly returned to calm.

Zhou Xun even sent out his spiritual sense instantly, quickly passed over Shi Wanying, and then showed a relaxed expression.

"It's finally done!"

“Low-grade true elixir!”

After hearing Zhou Xun's words, everyone started chatting in a relaxed manner.

Soon, a beam of aqua blue light flew out and appeared in front of everyone.
Then the light faded, revealing a heroic woman in her thirties, who was Shi Wanying.

She bowed down before Zhou Xun, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.

"The unworthy disciple Shi Wanying pays homage to Master. I am sorry to have caused Master so much trouble!"

"I am very pleased that you can form a pill!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly, then turned his palm and a water blue bead appeared in his hand.

"This is the White Mirage Pearl, which is made from the third-level Snow Mirage Pearl as the main material. It is a rare magical weapon that has both concealment and defense. It has the same water attribute as you."

"Master used it very easily back then, so today I will give it to you to defend yourself!"

Although this pearl is only of the lower third grade, its value is probably incomparable to that of an ordinary third grade mid-grade magic weapon.

It was a trophy from the invasion of Tianyu Sect that year, and it brought him a lot of merit. After his cultivation level improved, it gradually became useless and was no longer used, but he kept it in his storage bag.

Now it is just right for Shi Wanrong to use!
"Thank you, Master!" Shi Wanrong took it respectfully.

Zhou Xun smiled and helped Shi Wanying up: "This is your own opportunity and hard work. In the future, you will also be a Jindan cultivator. You still need to practice diligently and don't slack off."

Shi Wanying nodded in agreement.
"Congratulations, senior sister!"

At this time, Xu Shaoqing and others also gathered around and saluted Shi Wanying, their eyes full of joy.

"Sister, you finally formed the elixir. We were so worried!" Wang Shun said happily, his tone extremely excited.
"You naughty boy, you are already a Jindan Zhenren, you should be more steady!" Shi Wanying couldn't help but say.

"Senior sister is right. I am listening to you!" Wang Shun smiled, as if he was back to when he was more than ten years old and his senior sister was taking care of him.

"Wanying, you finally succeeded. I can finally rest assured!" Zhou Jinsong looked at his wife who had been with him for two hundred years, his eyes slightly red.

"Brother Song, when I broke through, I was thinking that I must succeed, otherwise what would I do if I couldn't see you in the future. Fortunately, I succeeded in forming the elixir, and you and I can still be together for hundreds of years!" Shi Wanying said with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, everyone is a Jindan cultivator, and everyone is an old man, so don't be so sentimental."

"Wanying has made a breakthrough, we should celebrate!"

Zhou Xun looked at the "group of bad disciples" and shook his head.

Zhou Jinsong and Shi Wanying smiled a little embarrassedly when they heard this, and then surrounded Zhou Xun and his wife.

They went to the cave of Shi Wanying and her husband for a simple celebration.

After this, the entire Wangchuan Lake fell into peace again, and another year and a half passed.

This is already the ninth year since Zhou Xun returned from Dajin.
One day, Zhou Xun woke up from his retreat, got up and walked out of the practice room.
Next, he will go to Dajin again.

Because the day for registration for the Soul-Grabbing Conference has arrived!
