Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

In the Jin Dynasty, there was the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the main hall of transmission.

After entering, you can see two high platforms with formations carved on them.

The one on the left is the teleportation array to the Western Desert, and the one on the right is the teleportation array from the Western Desert back to Dajin!

On this day, the teleportation array on the right side that had been silent for several years suddenly lit up, a white light flashed, and three figures appeared in the center of the array.

The man in the middle has a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, just like an immortal.

The one on the left is a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar. He has a gentle temperament, which makes people fall in love with him at first sight.

The one on the right is a young man with an honest face. If he were wearing a bunt, some people would believe him even if he said he was a farmer.

These three people were Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun who had just returned from the Western Desert.

"Brother, we are finally back!" Wang Erniu looked at the hall in front of him and said with emotion.

"Yes, this time I went to the Western Desert. Although it only lasted a few years, the harvest was huge!" Zhou Xun nodded.

When setting off, the three of them were all in the early stages of Nascent Soul.

Now that they have returned, Tianci Zhenjun and Zhou Xun have both reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Even Wang Erniu, under the guidance of his master Nine Swords Zhenjun,

Kendo has made great progress and his strength has greatly increased.

If he could break through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, he would definitely have the combat power of a great monk.

"When we come back this time, we can practice hard!" Tianci Zhenjun said with a smile.

"Meet the three seniors!"

At this moment, two young men dressed as guards walked into the door. They were in the early stages of forming pills. They saw Zhou Xun and the others standing on the teleportation formation on the right.

He instantly realized that they were people returning from the Western Desert, and he immediately bowed his hands and saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, little friend. I wonder if Tang Wailang is here?" This Tang Wailang is the person in charge of the teleportation hall now, and he is also a member of the Jin War Department.

When they went to the Western Desert that day, the three of them had a chance meeting with this Tang foreign minister.

"Senior Qi, Senior Tang is sitting in the outer hall!" the guard replied, cupping his hands.

Zhou Xun nodded when he heard this, and then he and the three of them, Tianci Zhenjun, left the inner hall.

As soon as he went out, he saw an old man wearing a blue-red robe with a white face and no beard, sitting at the counter next to the main hall and resting.

Seeing someone coming out, I subconsciously looked over.

"Palace Master Zhou, Palace Master Ji, and Palace Master Wang, you are back!"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recognized the three of them, his face couldn't help but reveal a happy look.

"Hey, your cultivation level!"

Suddenly, he sensed the aura of mid-stage Nascent Soul mana on Zhou Xun and Tianci Zhenjun, and couldn't help but be startled.

He remembered clearly that when they set out, Zhou Xun and the others were only in the early stage of Yuanying. Now, only four years have passed, and two of them have already broken through to the middle stage of Yuanying.

Combined with the fact that they were able to return to Dajin from the Western Desert,

It seems that Zhou Xun and the others may have made great achievements in the Western Desert.

After all, he sent away hundreds of Nascent Soul cultivators here, and less than eleven of them were able to come back, and they had all stayed on the Western Desert frontline for decades before they accumulated enough merit to return.

And how long had Zhou Xun and the others been there?

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but look solemn, and the eyes he looked at Zhou Xun and the others revealed a trace of respect.

"It's just a lucky break!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly and then asked:

"I wonder if Minister Wu is still in charge of the Ministry of War now?"

"Exactly!" Tang Yuan nodded.

After a few people chatted for a while, Zhou Xun said goodbye and left.

But what they didn't notice was that just as they were leaving, a guard in the corner left the place in a hurry.

After walking out of the teleportation hall, Zhou Xun's destination was the main hall of the Ministry of War.

Now that he is going to the Secret Treasury of Dajin to exchange for the 'Nine-bend Phantom Spirit Ginseng, the first thing he needs to do is to convert his military exploits into contribution points for Dajin.

The person responsible for this matter is the Ministry of War.

Following the corridor beside the palace wall, Zhou Xun came to a large hall with flying eaves and brackets, green tiles and blue bricks, which was extremely grand.

It is the official residence of Wu Shilang of the Ministry of War.

There are two guards at the door, wearing spiritual armor.

"I have met three seniors. I wonder if you have something to do with Minister Wu?"

"That's right. Could you please tell me, little friend, that Zhou Xun is coming to visit!" He said and handed over his palace master's token.

The guard took it over to check, and his expression became respectful:

"It turns out to be Master Zhou, please wait a moment!"

With that said, the guard turned around and ran in.

After a while, a tall man with a broad forehead and big eyes, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, came out.

"Hahaha, I just heard from the guard that Brother Zhou is visiting. I still don't believe it. The three palace masters are still fighting against the ghost tribe on the front line of the Western Desert. How could they come to visit me!"

"Now that we have met, I have to believe it. Come on, please tell me inside!" He said and made an inviting gesture towards the inside.

"Thank you, Minister Wu!"

Immediately, Zhou Xun and the others, led by Wu Shilang, slowly walked in, came to the reception area, and sat down separately for the guests of honor.

When they sat down, there were several graceful maids,

He knelt down in front of the table, bowed first, and then ordered tea with his bare hands. After a while, the fragrance flowed out.

"This is Zhige tea. Please give the three of you a try!" Wu Shilang said, raising the teacup in his hand.

"Thank you, Minister!"

Zhou Xun and the other three guests followed the host and also picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

At the entrance of the tea soup, a cool air rises, and then turns into a sharp feeling, making people feel like they are on the battlefield.

After a hearty fight, he finally calmed down!

"Good tea, worthy of the name Zhi Ge!" Zhou Xun was full of praise.

"The three fellow Taoists went to the Western Desert for just a few years before they returned successfully, and even improved their cultivation to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It seems that this trip has yielded a lot,"

"You're here today, but you want to redeem your contribution points?" Wu Shilang said with a slight smile.

"Exactly, Mr. Wu guessed it right. The reason for coming here this time is to exchange the military exploits he made in the Western Desert for contribution points to the Jin Dynasty, so that he can go to the Secret Treasury to exchange for what he needs." Zhou Xun put down his tea cup, his expression Said seriously.

Wu Shilang nodded slightly: "This exchange is not difficult. You only need to show the relevant vouchers and I can handle it."

Zhou Xun understood and took out the identity token used in the West Desert from the storage bag and handed it to Wu Shilang: "This is the jade plaque recording the military exploits in the West Desert. Please check it, Shilang."

Wu Shilang took the token and poured spiritual power into it.

Lines of text and numbers emerged, displaying in detail the illustrious military exploits of Zhou Xun and others.

Wu Shilang's eyes gradually changed from casual to surprised, and finally turned into shock: "More than a thousand points!"

He has also handled the matter of exchanging contribution points for dozens of Nascent Soul monks who returned from the Western Desert, but there has never been one like Zhou Xun.

With more than a thousand points of military merit,

This means that he killed more than two high-grade ghost kings on the battlefield in the Western Desert, which is equivalent to the existence of a late-stage Nascent Soul monk of the human race.

And Zhou Xun himself has just broken through the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

This shows that not only does he have great potential, but his strength is also at the top of the list.

Zhou Xun smiled humbly: "Wu Shilang is ridiculous. This is all the result of the concerted efforts and bloody battles of all Taoist friends. Zhou just happened to meet him and did his best."

The God-given True Lord on the side also smiled and agreed: "Yes, without everyone's mutual support, we may not be able to move forward in the dangerous Western Desert."

Wu Shilang also came back to his senses at this time, calmed down, and said with a little respect: "You two, please don't be too modest. This is the first time I have seen such a great achievement!"

After that, he took out a magic weapon that looked like an account book and a spiritual pen that exuded a faint light of spiritual power.

"I wonder how much military merit the Lord Zhou can exchange for?"

"Change them all!"

After thinking about the internal treasury, Zhou Xun finally decided to exchange all his military achievements into contribution points.

"After the exchange is completed, please ask Palace Master Zhou to check it!"

I saw Wu Shilang making several strokes in succession, and then returned the token to Zhou Xun.

As for the God-given True King and Wang Erniu, there is no exchange.

The God-given True King was given because the required treasures had been exchanged in the Western Desert, and Wang Erniu did not participate in the next two operations and had little military exploits, so there was no need for it.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

"Since Brother Zhou has come back and has nothing to do, you can come here to find me. If nothing else, Lingcha will definitely take care of enough!"

"It must be annoying!"

Afterwards, he exchanged a few words with Wu Shilang and then stood up to leave with the God-given True Monarch and Wang Erniu.

The Secret Treasury is located in the north of the Imperial City. It took about a quarter of an hour to reach here.

"You are Lord Zhou!" Zhao Xuan, the deacon of the Secret Treasury Department, looked extremely surprised when he saw Zhou Xun's figure!

"Deacon Zhao, long time no see!" Zhou Xun returned the favor!

"I didn't expect that after several years of not seeing each other, the master of the palace has already advanced to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, while Zhao is already in the early stage!" Zhao Xuan sighed slightly.

"It's just using the power of the elixir, it's nothing!" Zhou Xun said modestly, and then got down to business.

"I came here today precisely for the 'Nine-Tune Phantom Spiritual Ginseng'. I wonder if this treasure has been replaced by others?"

As he said that, Zhou Xun couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness.

After all, he has been searching for so long. If the one here is still replaced by someone else, he doesn't know how depressed he will be!

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and patted his waist.

He took out a gold book and put it in front of him.

"This is the treasure list of my Secret Treasurer. The inventory, corresponding quantities and exchange requirements of all treasures are reflected!"

"As long as my consciousness penetrates it, I will know everything!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded repeatedly. As expected, the art of weapon refining in the Jin Dynasty was so advanced that he could even refine such a treasure, so he praised,

"It's really strange!"

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.

After a while, he raised his head and said:

"Don't worry, Palace Master, I still have two of these in the Secret Treasury!"

A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Xun's eyes: "That's great, I want to exchange one!"

"A total of four hundred and ninety-nine points. It seems that the Palace Master has been accumulating contribution points over the years!" Zhao Xuan exclaimed.

"That's right. In order to accumulate these contribution points, I did not hesitate to go to the front line of the Western Desert to hunt the ghost tribe. Fortunately, I was lucky and accumulated enough military exploits!" Zhou Xunyan said a few words concisely and to the point.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but be amazed when he heard this.

"I heard before that you defeated King Xuan Gu and won the position of palace master, so I knew you were extraordinary. Looking at it now, I still underestimated you!"

"Deacon Zhao, I'm sorry. Zhou is just adapting to the current situation in order to protect himself and smooth his spiritual path." Zhou Xun slightly bowed his hand.

"By the way, apart from this 'Nine-Tune Phantom Spiritual Ginseng', does the Palace Master also need to see other treasures?"

As he said that, Zhao Xuan showed an expectant expression,

After all, if Zhou Xun exchanges the treasure, he will have corresponding achievements.

Judging from Zhou Xun's strength, the contribution points he accumulated must not be a small amount.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was also very interested. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"I wonder if there is a third-level demon king's heart essence blood. Only one drop of each type is enough!" Previously in the Western Desert, Zhou Xun had exchanged the core blood essence stone and forty-three types of demon king's essence blood.

Now there are still sixty-five types missing.

As the largest treasure house of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Secret Treasury has gathered treasures from all over the world. Even those outside the Great Jin Continent can be found here.

"The essence of the demon king's heart?"

"It seems to be a treasure below the third level. I will know after checking it!"

The old man said, and he checked it again. After a while, he smiled:

"I have already checked it out. There are quite a few of these in the warehouse. There are a total of 47 kinds. Do you want to exchange them all?"

"Let me take a look first!" Zhou Xun said as he took the golden book,

Then he eliminated eleven kinds of duplicate essences,

"I want these thirty-six kinds!"

"Although the essence of the demon king's heart is valuable, it is only a third-level treasure, so it can be exchanged with spirit stones,"

"Each kind of essence will cost 500,000 spirit stones!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was very happy. This way, he could save some contribution points.

After all, spirit stones are easy to get, but contribution points are not easy to get!

Zhao Xuan nodded and continued to ask:

"Does the mansion master need any other treasures?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"These two treasures have already emptied my pockets. Come back next time!"

Zhao Xuan nodded and said:

"In that case, please wait here, I will take the two treasures and then hand them over to you!"

As he said this, he bowed and walked out of the door quickly, his steps seemed very light.

This time, he waited for a full half an hour before seeing Zhao Xuan return.

"I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting for so long!"

"It's true that the rules of my secret treasury are strict, and there are many barriers to retrieve spiritual objects!" Zhao Xuan apologized as soon as he saw Zhou Xun.

"It's okay. There are a lot of spiritual objects in the Secret Treasury, so it's normal to be a little strict!"

"By the way, here are 1,800 high-grade spiritual stones. Please count them!" Zhou Xun waved his hand indifferently,

then patted his storage bag,

thousands of spiritual stones came out in a stream, landed on the table in front of the two people, and piled up into a small mountain.

Then he took out the token and crossed out the contribution points.

Zhao Xuan took out the two treasures that Zhou Xun exchanged, and after checking that they were correct, he handed them to Zhou Xun.

After the money and goods were settled, Zhou Xun said goodbye and left.

Zhao Xuan then stood up and personally sent him to the door of the Secret Treasury.

After walking out of the gate, Zhou Xun did not return to the cave, he had one more thing to do.

Before returning, Commander Ji had given him a letter. While he was still in the imperial city, he might as well finish it all at once and send it to Emperor Jin.
