Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 557: A mere top-grade spiritual medicine, is it worth showing off?

Outside the cave,
An old man in his fifties, wearing a green gown, with graying hair and a goatee, was standing by and waiting.

This person is the steward of Baiqiao Merchant Alliance, Master Xuanfeng.

His original name was Zhang Baichuan, and he was the youngest son of Feng Yi Zhenjun, the elder of Baiqiao Merchant Alliance.

It’s a pity that Master Feng Yi had bad luck and died in a secret realm when he was only over 700 years old.

Without the protection of Master Feng Yi, the entire Zhang family fell into decline in an instant, and Zhang Baichuan, who was originally the son of Master Feng Yi, also fell into the mortal world.
The difference in circumstances made Zhang Baichuan extremely unwilling, and he vowed to restore the glory of his family!
Fortunately, he had good aptitude, dared to think and work hard, and with the help of his old father's connections, he finally reached the late stage of Jindan before he was four hundred years old.

There is hope to achieve Nascent Soul!

However, what he condensed was a mid-grade true elixir, so naturally, it was not his turn to obtain the infant-forming elixir in the Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce was well-informed. After inquiring from all sides, they finally heard from Dan Yuan Zhenjun, a good friend of my father.

Learned the news that Zhou Xun had the Infant-forming Pill!
Zhang Baichuan was overjoyed and immediately met Zhou Xun through Dan Yuan Zhenjun.

It's a pity that Zhou Xun rejected it.

However, he was a man of strong will and would not give up so quickly. So he brought valuable gifts and visited Zhou Xun's residence again.

"Hello, Brother Zhou!"

Seeing the cave door open and Zhou Xun coming out, Xuan Feng Zhenren was extremely happy and stepped forward to pay his respects.
Very polite attitude!

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang. Please come in and talk if you have anything to say!" Zhou Xun then took the old man to his residence.

"Brother Daoist has such a good relationship with True Lord Tianci, it is really enviable!" True Lord Xuanfeng felt this 'immortal'-like cave and couldn't help but reveal his true feelings.

He once lived in a cave like this, but unfortunately his family fell into poverty.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are joking. You are the descendant of a True Lord, and you are also a steward of the Baiqiao Merchant Alliance. How could you be short of this cave?"

Zhou Xun waved his hand.

Soon, the two arrived at the living room of Zhou Xun's residence.

"It's my first visit, sorry to bother you. Here is a third-grade top-quality 'Guizhilan', please accept it!"

As soon as Master Xuan Feng sat down, he took out a jade box that was one foot long and placed it on the small table between the two of them.
Then he pointed his finger, and the spirit-sealing talisman on the jade box automatically fell off, and the lid of the box opened automatically.

A strange and magical medicine with a completely emerald green color and some golden spots on it was revealed.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

A mere third-grade top-grade spiritual medicine had no appeal to him at all. If it were fifty years ago, Zhou Xun might have taken a few more glances at it.

"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Zhang. This medicine is extremely rare. You should take it back. If you have anything to say, just speak directly!"

Hearing this, Zhang Baichuan nodded and immediately spoke:
"I came here to seek the Infant Forming Pill. I hope that Brother Dao can sell this pill to me. I will be very grateful!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed towards Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun frowned when he heard this, and his expression instantly turned cold. If it weren't for the relationship with Zhenjun Dan Yuan, he would have expelled this person long ago.

But this person kept pestering Zhou Xun, which made him a little unhappy, so he said:

"Haven't I already made this very clear to my fellow Taoist friends?"

"My aptitude is not high. I have no confidence that I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage with only one Infant Formation Pill."

"Therefore, I will not sell these three Infant Formation Pills to anyone no matter what!"

Zhou Xun's tone was extremely firm and decisive.

Hearing this, the old man's expression did not change at all, and he continued:

"Brother, don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't you listen to my conditions first? What do you think?" "You say!" Zhou Xun said coldly.

"First, I am willing to give you 600 high-quality spirit stones as compensation."

"Second, four third-level high-quality spiritual medicines can be refined into elixirs to strengthen the body and replenish the essence. This will help Brother Dao reach the peak of Dan-Jie soon!"

"Third, I heard that Brother Dao is searching for fourth-level or higher lightning-attribute materials. I have a five-liang black gold crystal in my hand, which was left by my father!"

"Although this item is not of thunder attribute, it is also of gold attribute. It is of the fourth-grade intermediate quality and may be able to replace one or two items."

"With this item, can I exchange it for an Infant Forming Pill?"

As he spoke, the old man looked at Zhou Xun with anticipation.

"How did you know that I was searching for fourth-order lightning-attribute materials? Daoist friend, you must have heard the wrong thing!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand and did not answer directly.

"Tianci Zhenjun has been visiting friends frequently recently, asking around for information on fourth-level thunder attribute materials. He has never done this before."

"Everything was done after Brother Dao arrived. Naturally, we are running around for Brother Dao!"

The old man explained, and then continued to talk about the infant-forming pill.
"If that doesn't work, Zhang can still owe you a favor. No matter what, I will help you once for free. I am willing to swear an oath to the devil in my heart on this matter."

"Can I get a baby-forming pill in exchange?"

The old man bowed.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but regret letting this person in. He didn't expect that Zhang Baichuan would be such a persistent person.

The thought came to his mind, and then he said:

"I have already said that I still have great use for this pill. I will never trade it away now. No matter how good the treasure is or how many spirit stones I have, they are nothing compared to the Nascent Soul Path!"

"However, if you are willing to wait for a while, after I successfully form my infant, if there are still some of these pills left, it is not impossible to exchange one for Zhang Daoist."

"If you still don't want to, then please do as you wish!"

After saying that, Zhou Xun picked up the spiritual tea, blew it gently, and started drinking.

Hearing this, Zhang Baichuan's face changed several times. The conditions just now were the greatest sincerity he could offer.
This still didn't impress Zhou Xun, and he had no other options.

After thinking for a long time, he finally stood up and bowed:
"In that case, I wish Brother Dao to achieve the Nascent Soul as soon as possible. When the time comes, please be generous and give me the Nascent Soul Pill!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhou Xun replied indifferently.

After Zhou Xun formed his infant, he might have already left this place, so there was no way that Master Xuan Feng could find him.

Besides, Zhou Xun did not agree to give the pill to him in exchange.

Even if he doesn't sell it at that time, Zhou Xun won't regret it.

"I will not disturb you in your practice. Goodbye!" Seeing Zhou Xun say this, Xuan Feng turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, no reward without merit, please take this 'Guizhilan' back with you!" He picked up the box and handed it to the old man.

Master Xuan Feng was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, took the jade box and put it into the storage bag, then turned and left. After turning his head, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, as if he had made some kind of decision.

After this person left, Zhou Xun was obviously relieved. He was not afraid of the fight in the arena. Instead, he felt headache and helpless about this kind of persistent and rogue behavior.

After all, it is impossible to really kill the other party because of this.

Time flies, and soon another four months have passed, and the day of the Zhenhai Fairy City Auction has finally arrived.
