Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 1010 All Geniuses Exterminated, Sixth-Tier Spiritual Medicine
With a thought, a flash of light appeared, and Zhou Xun's true form reappeared on the spot.

Then he patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and three beams of spiritual light shot out.

The light faded, revealing three spirit beasts of different shapes.

On the left is a small toad with a body that looks like pure purple jade. It is the Purple Jade Poison Toad, with purple light flowing around its body, exuding a powerful aura of a mid-grade fifth rank.

In the middle is a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who is Xiao Jia.

On the right is a boy of about ten years old, who is Xiao Jin.

These are Zhou Xun's three spirit beasts, each possessing considerable strength.

"Xingyuan Island is quite large, and Lu Xinghe is very likely to receive the news and return."

Zhou Xun's expression was solemn:

"We don't have much time left."

He looked at the three spirit beasts and gave the command:

"Xiao Jia, Xiao Jin, you two follow Zi Yu."

"You three's target is all the Lu clan disciples on the island who are at or above the late Core Formation stage."

His voice was icy, carrying a chilling killing intent:
"Remember, leave no one alive."

"Yes!"

The Purple Jade Poison Toad uttered a clear, crisp sound, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes. It was a descendant of the ancient poison toad, with a bloodthirsty nature ingrained in its bones.

The correct approach for Xiaojin Xiaojia fixed investment is...

The three spirit beasts transformed into three beams of light and vanished instantly.

They will clear out the Lu clan elites on the island as quickly as possible.

As for why the target was set at the late Core Formation stage or above...
There were simply too many people on Xingyuan Island, which had gathered talented young people from all over the Lu family.

Time is limited, and it is impossible to eliminate all members of the Lu family.

Therefore, they set their sights on those with higher cultivation levels.
Losing all disciples at the late Core Formation stage or above would essentially extinguish the Lu Clan's genius for an entire era.

This will be a fatal blow to the Lu family!

After the three spirit beasts left, Zhou Xun's avatar and his true form exchanged a glance.

The two understood each other perfectly, needing no further words.

With a flash, they went in different directions.

The target of the main body is the medicinal garden on the east side of the island, where rare and precious medicinal herbs collected by the Lu family over tens of thousands of years are grown.

It is one of the greatest assets of the Lu family.

Among them are many top-tier fifth-order spiritual plants, and there may even be some sixth-order ones.
These elixirs would greatly benefit Zhou Xun's cultivation, and he absolutely could not let them go.

The target of the incarnation is the warehouse on the west side of the island.

That place houses the treasures accumulated by the Lu family over tens of thousands of years, including cultivation manuals, magical artifacts, elixirs, and rare materials.
These were the foundations that allowed the Lu family to dominate the region, and now they would all become Zhou Xun's spoils of war.

He won't let go.

……

Several powerful, unfamiliar auras suddenly appeared on the island, naturally attracting the attention of many Nascent Soul cultivators on the island.

These auras were violent and unfamiliar, clearly not those of the Lu family.

"Who dares to trespass on my Xingyuan Island!"

A furious shout came from below.

Immediately afterwards, seven figures took off from various parts of the island and hovered in mid-air.

These seven people were all elderly men with white hair, and each of them was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

They were dressed in robes of various colors, and each carried a different ritual implement on their back: a zither, a chess set, a book, a painting, a flute, a sheng (a type of reed pipe), and a bell.

This was the famous "Seven Arts Elder" of the Lu family, whose strength was extremely formidable.

They cultivated a method of combined attacks, and the seven of them working together could even contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

"Brothers, let's join forces and slay this fiend!"

The old man carrying the guqin at the head of the group snorted coldly and made the first move.

He stroked the zither with both hands, his ten fingers flying across the strings, and wave after wave of sound waves transformed into tangible attacks, sweeping towards the Purple Jade Poison Toad.

Seeing this, the other six people also brought out their magical artifacts.

The seven magical artifacts unleashed their power simultaneously, forming a strange array in the air.

"Bind up, transform!"

The elder in the lead shouted loudly.

The seven attacks intertwined in the air, forming a giant golden net.

Runes flowed across the surface of the giant net, emanating a powerful binding force as it enveloped the Purple Jade Poison Toad.

They clearly intended to capture him in one fell swoop!
"Noisy."

The Purple Jade Poison Toad snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in its eyes.

It opened its mouth, and a beam of black light emanated from it.

The black light spread rapidly, turning the entire sky inky black.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded—

Suddenly, wisps of purple mist rose around the seven old men.

These purple mists, as if alive, swirled around them.

"what--!"

A series of piercing screams rang out.

The bodies of the seven elderly men began to rot at a visible rate.

The skin first turned purplish-black, then began to blister and crack. The flesh and blood rapidly dissolved under the erosion of the purple mist, revealing the stark white bones.

Even the bones were rapidly dissolving in the purple mist.

"What kind of poison is this?!"

The elder in the lead was terrified and tried to use his magic to resist.

But how easy is it to withstand the poisonous mist of the Purple Jade Toad?
This is a terrifying divine power that contains the essence of poison!
In just over ten breaths, the seven Nascent Soul Peak elders were completely dissolved into black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Not even a trace was left.

Only the seven magical artifacts and seven storage rings floated in mid-air, proving that they had once existed.

"Put it away and offer it to your master."

With a wave of his hand, the Purple Jade Poison Toad pocketed all seven magical artifacts and the storage ring.

It turned its head to look at the other two spirit beasts:
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jia, there are quite a few people on Xingyuan Island, let's split up and do our own thing."

Its voice was crisp, yet carried a chilling killing intent:
"I will handle the matters above the Nascent Soul stage, and you will handle the matters below the Nascent Soul stage."

"it is good!"

The Azure-Golden Flood Dragon and the Black-Armored Armadillo responded in unison.

They also sensed the intense killing intent on the island, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

The three spirit beasts immediately split up and took action.

The Purple Jade Poison Toad transformed into a streak of purple light and flew towards the depths of the island.

Its target is the Lu clan elites who are in the Nascent Soul stage.

The Azure Dragon and the Black Armored Armadillo flew off in the east and west directions respectively.

They want to purge those Lu clan members who are at the Core Formation stage.

A bloody massacre quietly unfolded on Star Origin Island.

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun's true form had already arrived in front of a medicinal herb garden.
Even through the thick, five-colored barrier of light, Zhou Xun could clearly feel the almost tangible, rich spiritual energy within the herb garden.

The surface of the light curtain shimmered with iridescent light, and faint wisps of spiritual energy could be seen within, enveloping the entire medicinal garden in a hazy fairyland.

The wafting medicinal fragrance was so refreshing that it caused his internal energy cultivation to accelerate involuntarily.

"There must be a great opportunity hidden here!"

Zhou Xun took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He carefully observed the barrier light screen in front of him.

Fortunately, this medicine garden is located in the most central area of ​​the Lu family's ancestral land, and is protected by multiple layers of formations, so the restrictions here are not too strong.
It is roughly at the mid-grade level of the fifth rank.

It would take an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator at least an hour to break this.

But he is a fifth-tier high-grade array master, and his mastery of array formations is comparable to that of some Void Refinement cultivators.

"We must act swiftly and decisively, and succeed before Lu Xinghe returns!"

He made a mudra with his hands in front of his chest and gently touched his forehead.

"Spiritual Aura, activate!" *Buzz—*

A pale golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
With the enhancement of this unique pupil technique, the originally seamless barrier of light became transparent in his eyes.

Countless spiritual energy nodes twinkled like stars, connecting with each other in a mysterious trajectory to form a network.

Spiritual energy flows continuously between the nodes, forming a perfect cycle.

"So that's it. This is the place!"

There is an inconspicuous auxiliary node here, but it is the key hub of the entire spiritual energy cycle.

"break!"

Zhou Xun flicked his finger,
A condensed purple lightning bolt shot out and accurately hit the node.

The runes containing the lightning spread like a spider web, instantly disrupting the flow of spiritual energy at the node.

Click——click——

Centered on this node, cracks spread rapidly across the light screen like a spider web.

"Boom!"

The entire barrier shattered with a roar, turning into countless colorful specks of light that slowly dissipated like stars.

A surge of spiritual energy, ten times more concentrated than before, accompanied by the fragrance of herbs, rushed out.

Zhou Xun stepped inside, and the sight before him made him gasp for breath.

The interior of this medicinal garden is much larger than it appears from the outside, stretching over tens of thousands of feet, clearly demonstrating the use of spatial expansion techniques.

The park is divided into dozens of areas.
Each area is planted with spiritual herbs of the same grade. The deeper you go, the higher the grade of the spiritual herbs.

Zhou Xun quickly swept away all the fourth-tier spiritual herbs in the outer area.

Then they rushed into the deeper fifth-tier spiritual herb area.

After passing through an invisible barrier, the concentration of spiritual energy in front of us increased once again.

Here, a fifth-order spiritual herb is planted every ten feet or so, and each one emits a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.

"A mid-grade fifth-tier Crimson Flame Ginseng!"

Zhou Xun's gaze fell on a crimson ginseng.

This ginseng is about the thickness of an arm, with naturally formed flame patterns on its surface. Its tendrils are twisted like dragon whiskers, radiating intense fire elemental power.

With a flick of his sleeve, a jade box, entirely crimson, flew out.

This jade box is made from warm jade from deep within a volcano, making it ideal for storing fire-attribute spiritual herbs.

With practiced ease, Zhou Xun cast several spells, and the Crimson Flame Ginseng, along with the surrounding soil, was completely extracted and steadily placed into the jade box.

As the lid closes, a sealing talisman automatically affixes, perfectly locking in the medicinal properties.

"A mid-grade fifth-tier Jade Marrow Fungus!"

"A fifth-grade, superior-quality Seven-Colored Lotus!"

……

Zhou Xun picked them up one by one, as if he were going on a shopping spree.

In just a quarter of an hour, he had acquired over a hundred fifth-grade spiritual herbs, as easily as harvesting cabbages.

"This is the foundation of a great clan accumulated over tens of thousands of years, and now it's all in my hands!"

"This trip was absolutely worth it!"

Soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the herb garden.

There are three isolated areas, each shrouded in a barrier of light that is even thicker than the outermost layer.

These three restrictions are respectively displayed in crimson, ice blue, and emerald green.

The interiors of the deceased clients were decorated with different environments.

Zhou Xun first arrived in front of the crimson barrier.

Through the light screen, you can see a boiling lava pool inside, with lava churning and heat waves surging.

He activated his Spiritual Aura again and quickly found the weak point in the restriction.

"The Fire Restriction is a cycle of fire fueling fire, endlessly. The key to breaking it lies in reversing the fire's spread!"

He formed a hand seal, and a deep blue water-attribute rune condensed at his fingertips.

This water talisman, though seemingly weak, precisely struck the core of the restriction.

laugh--

The clash between water and fire caused the barrier to fluctuate violently. The crimson light flickered erratically before finally shattering with a deafening roar.

"boom!"

A scorching wave of heat rushed towards us, and the fire elemental energy in the air was so dense that it was almost burning.

In the center of the lava pool, a bright red Ganoderma lucidum the size of a washbasin grows quietly.

This Ganoderma lucidum is as translucent as a ruby.
Nine flame halos slowly rotate on its surface, like nine small suns.

Most amazingly, a three-legged golden crow pattern naturally forms on the cap of the Ganoderma lucidum, and it looks incredibly lifelike.

"A sixth-grade low-level spiritual herb—Nine Yang Fire Spirit Mushroom!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by this fire spirit mushroom had reached the sixth level!
This one plant alone is enough to tempt even a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

He carefully took out a jade box that was entirely crimson. The jade box was carved from ten-thousand-year-old fire jade and its surface was covered with fire-controlling runes.

Under his precise control, the Nine Yang Fire Spirit Mushroom, along with a piece of magma rock below, was completely removed and steadily placed into the box.

"Just this one plant alone makes this trip worthwhile!" Zhou Xun put the jade box away with satisfaction.

This is a sixth-grade spiritual medicine, a sixth-grade one!

Even with his current state of mind, he was still somewhat unable to contain his excitement!

Then he came to the ice-blue barrier.

Inside, it was a frozen wasteland, with heavy snow falling and the air bitterly cold.

The surface of the barrier was covered with a thick layer of frost, emanating a chilling aura.

By repeating the same method, the restriction was broken.

A wave of extreme cold swept out, and water molecules in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals.

In the center of the icy prison, a crystal-clear lotus flower quietly blooms.

The lotus has nine petals, each one as exquisite as an ice sculpture, emitting a faint blue light.

At the heart of the lotus, a longan-sized ice bead slowly rotates, seemingly sealing within a world of ice and snow.

"A sixth-grade low-level Nine Nether Ice Lotus!" Zhou Xun was pleasantly surprised once again.

This ice lotus is no less valuable than the Nine Yang Fire Spirit Mushroom, and if it encounters an ice-attribute cultivator, its value will be even higher!
He took out a cold jade box, the body of which was engraved with temperature-controlling runes.

Under his careful manipulation, the Nine Nether Ice Lotus was completely harvested.

Even the 100,000-year-old mysterious ice beneath the lotus throne was not spared!

Finally, he arrived at the emerald green barrier.

This restriction is the most complex, with countless vine-like runes flowing across its surface, radiating a rich life force.

"The Wood-based restriction is perpetually regenerating and the most difficult to break. It requires severing all seventy-two of its life nodes simultaneously!"

Zhou Xun took a deep breath, his hands moving like phantoms.

Seventy-two cyan runes flew out simultaneously, accurately hitting every key node of the restriction.

hum-

The barrier trembled violently, and the vine runes on its surface withered and dissipated at a visible speed. The emerald light gradually dimmed, and finally shattered completely.

A wave of extremely pure wood elemental energy washed over me, instantly invigorating me.

This medicinal field is about a thousand feet square, and the soil is multicolored, obviously made by mixing five different types of spiritual soil.

In the center of the medicinal herb field, a three-zhang-tall fruit tree stands quietly.

The fruit tree is entirely emerald green, its branches and leaves like jade carvings, gleaming with a warm luster in the sunlight.

The tree trunk has naturally formed Dao patterns that subtly resonate with the laws of heaven and earth.

The most eye-catching thing is the three fruits growing on the tree.

These fruits are pale golden in color, about the size of a fist, and have cloud-like patterns swirling around their surface.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that liquid is flowing inside the fruit, sometimes condensing into runes, and sometimes scattering as starlight.

Upon seeing this item,

Zhou Xun's heart skipped a beat.

"Legend has it that the Lu family possesses a mid-grade sixth-rank spiritual plant. Could this be it?"

"This is a Transformation Fruit Tree!"

It is important to know that the Transformation Fruit has the effect of assisting in comprehending artistic conceptions.
Although each fruit can only enhance one's understanding by a tiny bit, for a Nascent Soul cultivator, that tiny bit of understanding may be the key to breaking through the bottleneck.

Even at the Void Refinement stage, it has immense benefits!
