Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 724: Gain military merit and exchange it for spiritual ginseng!
Seeing this, Lord Yama couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
"Brother Zhou, it seems that your strength has improved a lot, and is no less than that of an ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator!"

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the Golden Dragon Demon King's suggestion.

"If we really want to cooperate, Brother Zhou would be a good candidate!"

If we can have one more fighter in the late Nascent Soul stage, the success of the plan will be more guaranteed.

"Brother Dao, you are overpraising me. It is just a fourth-level mid-grade monster!"

Zhou Xun took out the sharp blade and cut it gently. A fist-sized inner pill with a dark yellow color appeared in his hand.

He clapped his hands on his waist.
Then a yellow spiritual light flew out and transformed into a young man who landed in front of him.
"I've met the master!"

"This is Lord Yama!" Zhou Xun introduced.

"Greetings, Master!" Xiao Jia bowed respectfully.

"Brother, this spirit beast seems to have a heavenly bloodline?" Yan Mo Zhenjun asked in surprise.

"Xiaojia is a spiritual beast I cultivated when I was still in the Qi training stage. Later, when he was promoted, his bloodline mutated and he is now what he is today!" Zhou Xun explained simply.

"Bloodline mutation, this is really a good opportunity, brother!" Lord Yan Mo couldn't help but sighed.

You have to know that Lord Yan Mo is the number one cultivator in Central Continent and has a wide range of knowledge, but there are only three or four examples of spiritual beast bloodline mutations.
These mutated spirit beasts all have powerful magical powers, and it is common for them to fight against opponents of higher levels.

"Brother Dao, you are joking. When it comes to supernatural powers, this manniu is the best. Whether it is supernatural power or escape technique, it is top-notch. I am so jealous of you!" Zhou Xun said.

"Hahaha, you and I should stop flattering each other and quickly refine the inner elixir."

"With this earth-attributed fourth-grade middle-grade inner elixir, it may not take long for your spirit beast to advance again!" Yan Mo Zhenjun smiled and waved his hand.
Zhou Xun then handed the inner elixir of the Sand Demon King to Xiao Jia.
"This inner elixir just happens to match your attributes, so I will give it to you today so that you can refine it!"

The black-armored armadillo was overjoyed when he heard this, and he bowed down to express his gratitude.
"Xiao Jia will definitely practice diligently in order to make greater contributions to his master!"

As he said this, he opened his mouth and swallowed the inner elixir directly.

After dealing with the inner elixir, Zhou Xun put the black-armored armadillo back into the spirit beast bag and put away the body of the Sand Demon King.
The scales of this monster are extremely hard. If they can be refined into a set of spiritual armor, I think its defensive power will be very good.

After processing the spoils,

The two continued on their journey.

After three months,

Zhou Xun and Lord Yanmo stood on the wild bull and looked at the huge city that was getting bigger in the distance, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That is the city closest to the Western Desert - Yuexi Fairy City!
"Brother Daoist, after three months of trekking, we have finally walked out of this sea of ​​quicksand!" Zhou Xun sighed, still feeling a lingering fear when recalling the strong winds in the sea of ​​quicksand.

Lord Yan Mo also nodded slightly: "Yes, although the journey was a bit difficult, we finally arrived safely. I don't know what changes have taken place in this city now. Let's go into the city to rest and then take the teleportation array to Yan Mo Palace!"

The teleportation array set up in Zhongzhou has been decided by Lord Yama to be set up in the Yama Fairy City under the jurisdiction of the Yama Palace!
Zhou Xun naturally had no objection to this. After all, he was not from Central China, so it didn't matter where the deployment was!
The wild bull slowly landed a thousand miles away from Yuexi Fairy City, and was then put into the spirit beast bag by Lord Yama.

Zhou Xun and Yan Mo Zhenjun flew up and arrived at Yuexi City in a cup of tea.

As soon as you enter the city, you can feel a lively atmosphere.

The streets were bustling with people, cultivators and mortals mixed together, all kinds of shops were filled with goods, and the sounds of hawking were endless.

"I haven't felt the aura of Zhongzhou for a long time. It's still better here!" Lord Yama sighed.

He has been stationed in the Western Desert for decades, living in a state of tension every day.
Now that I am back in Zhongzhou, it feels like returning to my mother's arms, warm and relaxing.

Then the two of them came to an inn and rested for a few days.
Then they continued their journey and passed through the teleportation array of Yuexi Fairy City and arrived at the territory of Lord Yama - Yama Palace.

The Yama Palace is located in a vast mountain range with rolling hills and clouds lingering around, like a fairyland.

The buildings inside the gate are magnificent and majestic. In the middle, there is a tower that rises into the clouds. It is made of a strange stone that emits a dark luster. There are faint flashing mysterious runes on the stone, which is extremely extraordinary.

Entering the mountain gate, a strong spiritual energy hits you in the face, it is actually the fourth level, upper grade!

Lord Yama brought Zhou Xun straight to his cave, which was simply but elegantly decorated. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, four treasures of the study placed on the desk, and some tea sets that exuded spiritual energy.

"Brother Zhou, please rest here for a while. I will go and arrange matters related to the teleportation array." Lord Yama said.

"Thank you, Brother." Zhou Xun bowed.

Three days later,
The Yanmo Fairy City at the foot of the Yanmo Palace Mountain,

A magnificent hall has just been built here. This hall was specially built for the teleportation array. It is large in scale and magnificent in appearance.

Zhou Xun and Yan Mo Zhenjun came to the front of the hall.
"This is the teleportation hall!" Lord Yan Mo introduced.

Zhou Xun looked up.

The hall is octagonal in appearance, with each corner curled upward like a giant beast spreading its wings ready to fly.

The roof of the hall is covered with a layer of golden glazed tiles, which sparkles brightly under the sunlight, like a golden ocean.

There is a plaque hanging under the eaves with three big characters "Tianxing Hall" inscribed on it.

Then the two of them walked in.

The interior of the hall is extremely spacious, with a very high dome. In the center of the hall, there are two huge teleportation array bases.

This is where Zhou Xun set up his formation!

"Brother, how is it?"

"No problem, it will only take half a day at most!"

Then Lord Yama slowly retreated to the entrance of the hall, leaving space for Zhou Xun to perform.

Zhou Xun came to the high platform on the left with a solemn expression.

He slapped the storage bag on his waist.
Rays of spiritual light flew out and turned into pieces of exquisite spiritual jade floating in the air, with lines carved on them.

It was exactly what Zhou Xun had prepared in advance in the West Desert Transmission Hall a year ago.

A rough count showed that there were 480 in total.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun changed his spell and pulled these spiritual jade array bases, arranging them one by one according to the array diagram, and finally landed on the high platform on the left.

As Zhou Xun's spiritual light was released, the array base was set up.
Next is the most important "Xuankong Crystal".

With a wave of his hand, a Xuankong crystal the size of an adult's head flew out and landed steadily in the center of the array base.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and attacked the magic circle.

With a faint light flashing, this half of the long-distance teleportation array was set up.

Then, Zhou Xun followed the same method and set up a teleportation array on the platform on the right as well!

"Brother, has the arrangement been completed?" Lord Yama said happily.

"It has basically been arranged. It still needs to be tested. It will be truly completed only after there are no problems!" Zhou Xun replied.

"Okay, I have already instructed the monks of the Teleportation Hall to go to our Central Continent's teleportation array every noon to check it and help us test the array!" As he spoke, Lord Yama counted the time with his fingers.
"It just so happens that there is still a quarter of an hour until noon. He will be there soon!"

Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this.

He slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist.
A seven-foot-tall, golden-brown-haired second-level demon monkey appeared in front of him.
He clasped his hands together, pointed at the demon monkey, and imprisoned it with several restrictions, making it unable to move.

Then, Zhou Xun placed him in the center of the teleportation array, and then took out a teleportation talisman and activated it.

After doing this,

Zhou Xun took out ten medium-grade spirit stones and placed them evenly in the five grooves around the formation.

Ximo and Zhongzhou are adjacent cultivation realms.

The spiritual energy of ten spiritual stones is enough to support it.

Then began to wait.

Soon a quarter of an hour passed,

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

As soon as noon arrived, Zhou Xun took out a token and activated a ray of spiritual light to hit the magic circle!

The magic circle lit up instantly.

Then a ray of light shot out from each of the five corners and hit the demon monkey.

The next moment, there was a flash of light.

The figure of the demon monkey suddenly disappeared above the teleportation array.

Then, the two of them waited.
After about a dozen breaths, the magic circle lit up again, and the demon monkey that had just been teleported away reappeared in the center of the teleportation array.

Zhou Xun immediately walked forward to check it out!
To his surprise,

The demon monkey was unharmed, which meant that the teleportation array was successfully set up and could now be used normally!

"Brother, how is it?" asked Lord Yama hurriedly.

"Brother Dao, I have accomplished my mission. This teleportation array is completely normal and can be used normally!" Zhou Xun replied.

Then he did the same thing and tested another teleportation array next to it.

The result was gratifying, and the teleportation array was successfully set up!
"Hahaha, I knew that with my brother's help, there would be no problem. In this case, you and I will return to the Western Desert!"

"With this magic circle, it will be much more convenient to travel to Central Continent!" Lord Yama was very happy.
"I have something else to deal with when I return this time, so I'm afraid I can't return with you!" Zhou Xun said.
Before this, Wang Erniu specifically found him and wanted him to go to the East Wasteland and deliver the "Mu Yuan Essence" to Lin Xue'e.

If I go too late and Lin Xue'e doesn't get the essence and dies, that would be a lot of fun!

"Oh, I wonder how long it will take, brother?"

"Ten days will be enough!" Zhou Xun thought for a moment, and then answered!

"Okay, I'll wait here!"

Zhou Xun then left Yanmo Fairy City, took the teleportation array, and after several trips, he finally returned to the East Desert. He personally handed the bottle of "Mu Yuan Essence" to Lin Xue'e.

He watched her drink it himself before returning.

Yan Mo Xian Cheng, Tian Xing Palace,

Zhou Xun stepped inside.

"Haha, brother is back!" Yan Mo Zhenjun greeted with a smile.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!" Zhou Xun bowed.
"It's nothing, since you're back, let's go back to the Western Desert without further delay!" The two of them stood in the center of the teleportation array and took out two teleportation talismans.

Handed one to Zhou Xun.

Then he took out the spirit stone and token, made a hand gesture, and hit the magic circle.
With a flash of white light, the two figures disappeared instantly.

When their feet touched the ground again, the transmission ended.
"Very good, this is the teleportation hall. Brother, you really succeeded. All the monks in the Western Desert from our Central Continent will be grateful to you!"

Lord Yama glanced around and couldn't help but reveal a look of approval.

This teleportation array only costs one thousand spirit stones to activate once. More importantly, it is a large teleportation array that can accommodate fifty people at the same time.
In other words, the cost per person is only 20 spirit stones.

Even ordinary soldiers in the Qi training stage can afford it!
Next, they can finally return to Zhongzhou and reunite with their masters and relatives.

"They left their homes and came here for the sake of the human race. I am deeply gratified that I can do something for them!" Zhou Xun nodded slightly.

As they talked, they walked out of the teleportation hall.

"Now that the teleportation array has been set up, let's go to the Merit Assessment Office to get your 300 combat merits confirmed!"

As Yan Mo Zhenjun said this, he and Zhou Xun came to the Xugong Division.
With the personal approval of the deputy commander, Lord Yama, the 300 battle merit points were naturally smoothly transferred to Zhou Xun's name.

Adding the 219 and 2 points he originally had,

That is five hundred and nineteen points and two points, which is more than enough to exchange for a plant of 'Nine-bend Fantasy Ginseng'!

In order to avoid having too many daily dreams, Zhou Xun decided to go to the battle merit exchange place immediately.
Soon, Zhou Xun came to the hall again and met the middle-aged man in blue robe.

"So it's Brother Zhou, what treasures do you want to exchange this time?"

At this time, the middle-aged man was holding a jade slip and looking at it intently. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head. Seeing that the person coming was Zhou Xun, he greeted him.

"That's right!" Zhou Xun nodded!

The middle-aged man heard this and waved his hand. A jade book appeared in his hand, and then he handed it to Zhou Xun, "This is the treasure exchange list. Take a look at what you need!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, took the jade book, and without checking it, he said directly:

"I have a goal for the exchange item. This time I went out to accumulate military merits. Now I have finally accumulated enough. I would like to ask my fellow Taoist to exchange it for the 'Nine-bend Magical Ginseng' for me!"

As he said that, Zhou Xun took out his token and handed it over!

"Nine-bend Magical Ginseng, I remember that this item requires 499 points of combat merit. Fellow Daoist Zhou has been able to obtain so many combat merits, it seems that his strength is not ordinary!"

The middle-aged man in blue robe smiled and checked the jade box beside him.
Suddenly his face froze, he shook his head, and said with a hint of regret:
"I'm afraid that Brother Zhou will be disappointed. All of these 'Nine-bend Magical Ginseng' have been exchanged for others!"

"What, was it replaced?"

"When I came here four months ago, there were still two plants!" Zhou Xun said in disbelief.

"The Nine-bend Magic Ginseng is a spiritual object that can increase spiritual consciousness. It is extremely popular. Not to mention four months, once it appears, it will never last more than a month!" The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Okay, in that case, I'll watch it next time!" Zhou Xun shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't you want to take a look at the other treasures?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun's heart moved and he immediately had an idea in his mind!
