Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 597 Zhou Xun: Let’s end it today!
After Yu Xuan Zhen Jun left, Zhou Xun also left.
He wants to ask for help from Tianci Zhenjun.

After all, Master Yu Xuan is now a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he has a fourth-level spirit beast to protect him. Even Zhou Xun doesn't dare to say that he will definitely defeat him!

At this level, everyone has some trump cards.

What's more, Master Yuxuan comes from the Yuling Sect, a sect with a history of ten thousand years. Who knows what he might bring out to make Zhou Xun return empty-handed!
Therefore, joining forces with Tianci Zhenjun is the safest approach.

The two caves were not far apart, and in a short while they arrived in front of Tianci Zhenjun's cave.

With a flip of his hand, a blue sound transmission note appeared in his hand.
He whispered a few words and threw the talisman into the cave. The talisman instantly turned into a beam of fire and sank into the cave.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Tianci Zhenjun finally came out!
"It was already a critical moment in drawing the fourth-order talisman, so it was delayed for a moment!" Tianci Zhenjun said with a smile.

Zhou Xun was delighted when he heard this.
"It seems that your skills have improved again, Brother Dao. I wonder what kind of talisman it is? Could you let me see it?"

"No problem, come in and talk!"

Zhou Xun followed Tianci Zhenjun to the pavilion in the courtyard.
There is also a complete set of talisman-making tools on the stone table.
"Brother, please give me some advice!"

Zhou Xun's talisman-making skills had already reached the peak of the third level, and he was only a step away from the fourth level, so he naturally had a high level of appreciation.

Taking the talisman from the hand of Tianci Zhenjun,
This talisman is only the size of a palm, and is bright yellow with a slight hint of golden light.

The runes on the surface are shining, and there is a heart-pounding wave contained in it. With a casual glance, you can know the terrifying power contained in this rune!
"Is this the fourth-level Nine Dragon Talisman?"

"Looking at the power inside, it's probably a top-notch talisman. Congratulations to Brother Dao on your mastery of the art. It's not an exaggeration to call you the Grandmaster of the Art of Talismans now!"

"Thank you for the compliment, brother. However, being able to refine this talisman is a reward for my years of research. However, if I want to make further progress in the future, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

The higher you advance in the art of cultivation, the harder it becomes to improve!

Firstly, the higher the level of inheritance, the higher the value, and it is often collected by major sects. However, most of them treasure it and are unwilling to exchange it.

Secondly, the materials consumed by high-level skills are extremely precious and difficult to find!

No matter how talented you are, you will fall into the dilemma of having no rice to cook!

If it weren't for the war between humans and demons, Tianci Zhenjun would not have been able to obtain enough fourth-level talisman materials so easily.

"This time my brother came to settle in the Immortal City, and I haven't brought any decent gifts yet. So I will give you these two Nine Dragon Talismans that I just refined!" Tianci Zhenjun said, and gently pushed the two talismans in the direction of Zhou Xun!
"I have a fierce battle next, so I won't refuse!" Zhou Xun nodded, took it and put it away.

Two Nine Dragon Talismans are enough to give Master Yuxuan a hard time.

"Fierce battle?" Master Yuxuan noticed these two words in Zhou Xun's words.

"Yes, that's why I came to visit Brother Dao!"

"Just now, True Lord Yuxuan came to me and said that he had discovered an ancient medicine garden where a large number of fourth-level spiritual medicines were growing."

"Invite me to go treasure hunting with you!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, a playful smile appeared on his face!
"Brother, you believe this obvious trap?" Tianci Zhenjun asked in surprise!

"He wants to plot against me, and I am also plotting against him!"

"Who will win depends on the methods used by both sides!" Zhou Xun's tone was cold, and it was obvious that he had sentenced Master Yu Xuan to death in his heart!

"Let's not talk about him anymore. With our combined strength, we can escape unscathed even if we encounter a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!"

"Only a truly trustworthy friend can do such a dirty thing. None of the eleven great monks in our Central Continent has such a relationship with him!"

"It doesn't matter if he really has such a relationship,"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun slapped his storage bag, and a green light flew out and landed on the stone table, turning into a jade cup that was three inches in size and the color of emerald!

"With the combination of you and I, plus this green jade cup, we are indeed no match for anyone!" Upon hearing this, Tianci Zhenjun nodded.

"But how are you going to deal with him then?"

"I have already made an appointment with him to meet at the East City Gate in three days, and then fly to the Ancient Medicine Garden!"

"Brother Dao, just follow me for thousands of miles. Once I decide to take action, I will inform you!"

Zhou Xun said slowly and told his plan!

"There's nothing wrong with this plan. The only thing missing is how we can contact each other!"

“Haha, Brother Dao, have you forgotten Master Qianchuan? He is the Lord of Zhenhai Immortal City. The million-mile communication talismans of the previous patrol teams are all secret treasures of the Immortal City!”

"I think it won't be a problem to borrow one or two now!"

Zhou Xun had already thought about this matter!

"If that's the case, everything will be fine!"

After agreeing to work together, Zhou Xun said goodbye immediately.
Go to visit the City Lord’s Mansion again!

Upon hearing that Zhou Xun was coming to visit, Zhenjun Qianchuan was extremely happy and personally went to the gate to greet him.

"Brother, you are also a guest of my Immortal City. Just come in directly!"

Qianchuan Zhenjun smiled and said,

"This is my first visit, so I have to be polite!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Brother Zhou is here, and the magic weapon I promised you has not yet been fulfilled. Today is a good opportunity to go to the secret vault to take a look and choose carefully!"

Before Zhou Xun could tell the purpose of his visit, he was pulled into the secret vault by Master Qianchuan.

There are five top-grade magic weapons placed inside.

"These five treasures were all recently refined and have not been refined before. Whichever one you like, just take it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun did not step forward to choose, but said:

"I came here today to borrow a treasure. As for this top-grade magic weapon, there is no rush!"

He was worried that after he chose this treasure, Master Qianchuan would refuse it!

"I don't know what kind of treasure it is!"

"A million-mile communication talisman!" Zhou Xun said.

"Given our relationship, I should lend it to you, but these communication talismans are all related to the patrol of the Immortal City."

"Even for me, it's not easy to retrieve it!"

"I don't know how long you want to borrow it. If it's a short time, I can still make the decision!"

Master Qianchuan said cautiously.

After hearing this, Zhou Xun estimated the distance. A million miles outside the city was already an area where humans and demons mixed together. Taking action there would not alert others.
So he said:

"Half a month is enough!"

After hearing that it would take half a month, Master Qianchuan breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"You just have to return it within a month!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Taoist!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

"You're welcome. Oh, and pick one of these top-grade magic weapons right away. Otherwise, others will think I'm going back on my word and not honoring my recruitment conditions!"

Master Qianchuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun walked to the five magic weapons and selected a defensive magic weapon that was shaped like a tortoise shell.

"Brother Zhou, you have a good eye. This "Black Turtle Shield" is made of the shell of a fourth-grade intermediate-grade Yuanling Black Turtle. It has an amazing defensive power. It is also a top-grade magic weapon!" "Haha, I will be honored to accept it!"

Afterwards, Zhou Xun feasted with Master Qianchuan in the City Lord's Mansion until evening, and then returned with the communication talisman.

On the other side, after True Lord Yu Xuan left Zhou Xun's cave,
They immediately came to the remote shop in the Xiancheng trading area.

"Fellow Daoist Yuxuan, you are finally here. I wonder what the situation is?" Upon seeing the figure of Taoist Master Yuxuan, the Fengbang Demon King immediately stood up and asked anxiously.

"Fortunately, the mission was accomplished. The man took the bait!"

Yu Xuan Zhenjun smiled slightly.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Now, we can report to His Majesty Nanyuan!" said the Fengbang Demon King happily.

"I wonder how your preparations are going. Your Majesty, how many people do you plan to send to assist me?" asked Master Yuxuan.

If the Nanyuan demon clan is too arrogant and does not bring enough people, then Yu Xuan will have to rethink the matter!
"Do not worry,"

"This time, the Thousand Crab Demon King is leading the team himself, along with four of his fellows!"

"Two fourth-order middle-grade ones, three fourth-order low-grade ones, plus you and the mountain king, that's seven Nascent Soul fighting forces. Even if that person is a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he will be defeated!"

The Feng Clam Demon King said several words.

"It's actually the Thousand Crab Monster King who is leading the team himself. It seems that His Majesty Nanyuan attaches great importance to this matter!"

"With his help, this time it's absolutely safe!"

Master Yuxuan laughed.

The Thousand Crab Demon King is the most powerful general under the Nanyuan Demon King. Among the entire Nanyuan demon clan, his strength is definitely among the top three!

Ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for him at all.

"By the way, I have one more small condition for this matter. Please, Brother Bang, explain it to me!"

"What's the matter?"

The Feng Clam Demon King frowned slightly, fearing that he would take this opportunity to make some unreasonable demands.

"Once we catch that person, can you let me process his Nascent Soul?"

Speaking of which, the reason why Master Yuxuan had this condition was because he had visited Zhou Xun's cave.

We were also invited to visit the insect room.
There, he saw a swallowtail butterfly that was extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

This is the juvenile form of the famous 'Phantom Spirit Butterfly' in the world of immortal cultivation.
The strength of the Dark Phantom Butterfly is comparable to that of a great monk.
If he could get this butterfly from Zhou Xun, wouldn't he have an extra late Nascent Soul stage fighter in the future? By then, he, Yu Xuan, could also stand at the top of the world of immortal cultivation.

However, the next moment, the Spirit Clam Demon King decisively rejected him!
"This is absolutely impossible. That man is the enemy who killed His Majesty Nanyuan's son. It would be fine if he was killed, but if he is captured alive, he will naturally be handed over to His Majesty Nanyuan for punishment!"

Hearing this, True Lord Yu Xuan was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. To deal with Zhou Xun, he had to rely on their demon clan!
After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea:

"Can you give me the cave token in this person's storage bag, and lend this person to me for two hours so that I can interrogate him about his magic formula?"

"Why do you want this token?" asked Master Feng Bang in confusion.

"To be honest, this person has a spiritual beast in his cave, which I carefully nurtured in the past and gave to my disciples for protection. I didn't expect it to fall into his hands."

“So I want to take it back!”

Master Yuxuan sighed.

"If that's all, I agree!" Feng Bang Monster King nodded.
After all, Zhou Xun's cave is within the Zhenhai Immortal City. Even if there are any treasures, it is impossible for these monsters like them to go in and take them away. So they might as well do him a favor!
"Oh, right, this is a million-mile communication talisman that was seized from your human race. Once you bring that person to the designated location, notify us immediately!"

As he spoke, the Feng Clam Monster King took out a jade talisman and handed it to the old man.

"Don't worry!"

Master Yuxuan's heart was surging.

Soon, three days passed and it was the day he had agreed upon with Master Yuxuan.

Zhou Xun immediately stopped practicing and took all the treasures with him, including the Red Noon Demon King.

Before leaving, Zhou Xun planned to tell his fortune for himself!
He reached to his waist and took out the small Bu Tian compass.

Then Zhou Xun performed a magic spell and pointed at the Bu Tian compass. The compass flashed slightly and the result was displayed after a short while!
Zhou Xun looked carefully,

"Turning danger into fortune!"

That's a good day, it's a good day to travel!
Zhou Xun smiled slightly, put away the compass, stood up and walked outside!

Passing by the insect room, Zhou Xun took a look inside. The swallowtail butterfly was still wrapped in a large white cocoon. Judging from the spiritual power fluctuations coming from it,

The day of breaking out of the cocoon should not be far away!
"I will train you well when I come back!"

After leaving the cave, head east.

When Zhou Xun arrived at the East Gate, he saw an old man with a thin face, a goatee, and wearing a blue Taoist robe with a crane feather standing at the gate, looking at Zhou Xun with a smile.

"I kept you Taoist friends waiting for a long time!"

Zhou Xun bowed and said.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. I just arrived. Let's set off without further delay. That place is still quite a distance away!"

Yuxuan Zhenjun bowed in return.

Then he patted his waist, and a fourth-level tiger appeared in front of him.

"Does Brother Zhou want to join us?"

"No need, I, an old friend, also want to come out for some fresh air!" Zhou Xun laughed and clapped his hands.
A red light flashed and fell into the sea, transforming into a spiritual turtle that was over ten feet in size and completely red in color.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on its back.
"Let's go!"

Soon the two spirit beasts turned into spiritual light, one in front and one behind, and galloped towards the east.

At the same time, Zhou Xun reached into his bosom, where he saw a milky white jade talisman hanging.
It is the Wanli Communication Talisman!

The moment he touched the jade talisman, Zhou Xun immediately injected magic power into it!
At the same time, in a cave in Zhenhai Fairy City,

An old man with a refined temperament was sitting on the ground, with a similar jade talisman placed in front of him.

Suddenly, a faint light flickered on the jade talisman.
The old man's eyes moved and he smiled gently:
"We're finally setting off. It's time for me to stretch my muscles!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the jade talisman and hung it around his waist. Then he left the city and headed east, which was the direction Zhou Xun and the other man had left.

Seven days later,

Zhou Xun and his companion had already traveled nearly two million miles, and the area they were in now was already sparsely populated.

"Fellow Daoist Yuxuan, I wonder how far we are from our destination!" Zhou Xun asked.

"It's almost there. We'll be there in one day!" Master Yuxuan replied with a smile!
Hearing this, Zhou Xun's eyelids twitched.
"It seems that the people arranged by Master Yuxuan are already there. Well, I will take action in advance!"

Zhou Xun immediately reached into his arms and sent a message to Tianci Zhenjun behind him!

Tianci Zhenjun immediately increased his speed and quickly approached Zhou Xun and the other man. Just when Tianci Zhenjun was only a thousand miles away from here, Zhou Xun made a prompt decision and decided to take action!
He just reached into his bosom and the Nine Dragon Talisman appeared in his hand.
He slowly injected magic power into it, activated it, and then threw it fiercely towards Yu Xuan Zhenjun in front of him!
