Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 604: Psionic Butterfly advances with amazing abilities!
Zhou Xun then stopped practicing "Purple Thunder Art", opened the door and walked out.

When we arrived at the door of the insect room, Chi Wu and Feng Zhong were already guarding there.

At this time, Chiwu turned into a human form, and the huge red turtle shell on his back was extremely conspicuous. As for the earth beast Fengzhong, it turned into a seven-foot size.

"I've met the master!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming, the two demons bowed.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly and glanced at the Earth Beast with his spiritual sense. At this time, it had reached the peak of the third level and was preparing to break through to the fourth level.

If everything goes well, I can successfully advance to the fourth level within a few years.

Then he turned his gaze towards the insect room.

I saw a white cocoon several inches in size bathing in a ball of spiritual energy. The turbulent spiritual energy stirred up gusts of wind, making the inside whistling.

Now has come the critical moment to guide the Phoenix Butterfly to advance. As long as you can get through this stage of spiritual energy infusion, you will be promoted successfully!
After about half a minute, the ball of spiritual energy grew larger and larger, and even seemed to turn into mist.

This is a phenomenon where spiritual energy has gathered to the extreme!
At this time, the cocoon of the swallowtail butterfly in the spiritual energy group suddenly emitted a light golden light, and tiny vortices appeared on the surface, absorbing the huge spiritual energy into it.

At the same time, its aura was also surging.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the butterfly's aura changed, and a wave of spiritual energy spread out.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun was delighted.

"Success!"

The violent aura returned to calm, and the aura ball gradually dissipated, leaving only a white cocoon with restrained brilliance!

at this time,

The surface of the cocoon began to wriggle, and a foot organ was exposed. Then a small hole appeared in the cocoon, which became larger and larger.

Finally, the whole swallowtail butterfly came out.

At this time, its size has not changed much, it is still only five or six inches in size!
The whole body is dark blue in color, with a few golden spots mixed in, like a rune, it looks particularly strange!

Zhou Xun carefully sensed its aura.
"Sure enough, it has reached the third level!" I couldn't help but feel happy!
At this time, the swallowtail butterfly also showed a burst of joy, and then flapped its wings, flew happily to Zhou Xun's shoulder, and rubbed it affectionately.

It’s a pity that it’s difficult to stimulate the intelligence of insect monsters. Even if they reach the third level, their wisdom is still low.

"Although his wisdom has not increased much, his illusion ability should have greatly improved!"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but think of the time when this spirit butterfly was still at the upper level of the second stage, it had touched his mind when he was at the peak of the Jindan stage. Now it has been promoted to the third stage.
I don’t know how powerful it is, let’s try it out!
Zhou Xun took a quick glance and his eyes fell on Feng Zhong, the Earthly Beast.
"go with!"

Zhou Xun issued an order.
The swallowtail butterfly flapped its wings, and an invisible force flew out and hit the local beast Feng Zhong on the opposite side, covering him.

As for Feng Zhong, he only felt his mind shaken at this moment, and then a wave of "enlightenment" surged into his heart, and he began to impact the Nascent Soul in Zhou Xun's cave!
"Boom——"

The sky exploded with thunder and lightning arcs flashed. This was the transformation thunder tribulation that the monster beast must go through when breaking through the fourth level!

After going through untold hardships, Feng Zhong finally survived the thunderstorm.

When it broke through the barrier, it had already become a fourth-level Demon King and transformed into a big man!
"I have a strong wind, and there will be a day like this too, hahaha."

As it continued to immerse itself in it, it suddenly felt something was wrong.

"I have actually been promoted to the fourth level. No, this is fake!" The moment this thought came to his mind, everything in front of him shattered like a mirror.
At this moment, he was still in Zhouxun Cave. The scene just now was just an illusion.

Zhou Xun was looking at it in surprise.
"Master, what is this subordinate doing?"

Feng Zhong was a little surprised and confused!

"It's okay. I just asked the Swallowtail Butterfly to try out some magic. It seems that its ability is to arouse the most desired thing in the recent period for the target of the spell!"

"However, the loophole in your state of mind is too big. This Spirit Butterfly has just been promoted to the third level, and you have sunk into it!"

"You should gain experience well!" Zhou Xun warned.

"Yes!"

Feng Zhong blushed and nodded in agreement. He also felt a little embarrassed to be bewitched by a third-level spirit butterfly that had just broken through!
However, this is also related to the fact that monsters are stronger in body but weak in mentality!

After teaching Feng Zhong a lesson, Zhou Xun looked at Yin Fengdie with satisfaction.
Even the Diyuan Beast, a peak third-order demon king, was not immune to the attack and sank into it. This spirit butterfly is indeed an ancient alien species, and its mature form is an existence that even great monks cannot rival.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun issued another order.
I saw the swallowtail butterfly continue to cast spells, but the target was changed to the red turtle!

When the magic light touched the turtle, the old turtle trembled and showed a dazed look, but soon returned to normal.

His face was filled with horror:

"My Lord, this is..."

"It is the power of the spirit butterfly!" Zhou Xun explained, but he was more satisfied in his heart.

He then controlled the Psylocke to cast a spell on himself.
He only felt a faint impulse that was hard to extinguish suddenly arise in his heart.

I can’t wait to go into seclusion and break through to the middle stage!

Zhou Xun's mind was flowing, and he suppressed this feeling.
"Even I am affected. It seems that this spirit butterfly is really extraordinary. It will be useful to me when I fight against cultivators of the same level in the future!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed, the more he looked at the butterfly, the more he liked it!
He immediately reached to his waist and took out a three-inch jade bottle. This was the third-level spiritual liquid he had prepared in advance.

Carefully pouring a drop the size of a soybean into his hand, a faint spiritual energy rises and spreads in all directions.
At this moment, the spirit butterfly sent out a burst of information, and then stretched out its mouthparts to start sucking the drop of spiritual liquid. In just a few breaths, it had eaten it all.
Then came a wave of longing consciousness, apparently expressing that it wasn’t enough!

"You're still a foodie!" Zhou Xun caressed her lovingly for a few times and poured out another drop.
After feeding it three drops of milk, the swallowtail butterfly was finally satisfied.

You know, this is a third-level spiritual liquid, and there are only a hundred drops in a bottle, but the selling price is close to 150,000 spiritual stones!
It would absorb three drops in one meal, and if it were fed once every seven days, it would cost about five thousand spirit stones!
The cost is more than 200,000 spirit stones every year!
"This is still the third stage, and the consumption is indeed high. Fortunately, I have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so I can still afford it for the time being!" Zhou Xun sighed.

Of course, it is also possible not to exchange the spiritual liquid, but in this case, it will take a very long time for the Phoenix Butterfly to continue to advance, or even stagnate!
"Now that it has been promoted to the third level, we need someone to take care of it!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xun set his gaze on Chi Wu. This turtle was not keen on practicing, but was now obsessed with the art of alchemy!
Feeding Psylocke only takes seven days, which won't waste its time. He is the best candidate, so he said:
"Chiwu!"

"Master!" The spirit turtle was startled when he heard the words, raised his head and looked at Zhou Xun with respect in his eyes.
"From now on, I will leave this Swallowtail Butterfly to you to take care of. Feed it three drops of spiritual liquid every seven days!" As he said that, Zhou Xun took out four bottles of spiritual liquid and handed them all to the spirit turtle.

"Don't worry, my lord. I will take good care of him!" Chi Wu nodded in response.

"By the way, take this alchemy record and study it. It will be your reward for feeding the spirit butterfly!" Zhou Xun took out another jade slip and threw it to Chi Wu.

He has always been clear about rewards and punishments, even for the spirit beasts under his command whose body and mind are controlled by him!

"Thank you, my lord!" Chi Wu was overjoyed when he heard that. He took it immediately and happily put it into his storage bag.

Then, Zhou Xun returned to the training room and continued his training.

Time passed, and soon half a month passed.

Zhou Xun was practicing on this day.

Suddenly, a beam of fire flew in from outside, fell on the restrictions above the training room, and flew everywhere!

"It seems someone is coming again!"

Zhou Xun immediately stopped practicing.

He flicked his finger and hit the talisman, and a familiar voice came out:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I am Gao Yuan. I have found some information about the fourth-level spiritual bamboo you wanted. I have already arranged for the owner to come to my Wu Liu Pavilion tomorrow. Please come!"

Hearing this news, Zhou Xun was delighted!
Then a ray of spiritual light was emitted, and the talisman spontaneously combusted and turned into ashes!
"I didn't expect that the fourth-level spiritual bamboo would have a clue so quickly. It seems that the Wuliu Pavilion is really efficient!"

"If you need anything else in the future, you can ask me to buy it for you, but it can only be ordinary treasures. I'm afraid it will be difficult to buy anything too precious."

“It is also easy to leak your own information!”

For example, if you acquire Du'e Dan, everyone will know that you are about to make a breakthrough!

"Well, let's go there tomorrow!"

The next morning, Zhou Xun went out and came to Wuliu Pavilion.

As soon as I got to the first floor, I saw a slightly fat middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking towards me with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is here!" Gao Yuan smiled and bowed.

"Manager Gao, you are so polite. You are waiting for me on the first floor!" Zhou Xun returned the greeting.

"Brother Zhou is an honored guest of my Wuliu Pavilion. How can I not greet you personally? Please follow me to the elegant room and take a seat!" As he said this, Gao Yuan gestured to the stairs!
Zhou Xun nodded and followed the middle-aged man upstairs.
"I wonder if the fellow Taoist who traded the fourth-level spiritual bamboo is here?"

"Of course, he has been waiting in the elegant room. When he heard that Fellow Daoist Zhou had taken out the Guyuan Pill, he couldn't wait to come and told me to make sure to invite Fellow Daoist Zhou!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Zhou Xun felt more relieved after hearing this.

The more the other party desires the Guyuan Pill, the higher the possibility of this transaction being successful.

Soon, the two arrived at the elegant room on the fourth floor.

Inside the ancient room, an old man with a long beard and a white robe was sitting inside, tasting a cup of spiritual tea in his hand with a look of intoxication on his face!
Perhaps he was awakened by the noise made by Zhou Xun and the other man, so he opened his eyes and looked over!
He first glanced at Gao Yuan, then stopped at Zhou Xun, revealing a look of surprise.

"This must be Brother Daoist Zhou Xun, I am Yu Jiansheng, nice to meet you!"

Having said that, he stood up and saluted first!
"You are too polite, Brother Yu!" Zhou Xun bowed in return and walked in!

"Haha, you two can talk in detail here. After the deal is settled, you can hand over the commission to Gao!" Shopkeeper Gao smiled and looked at them, then closed the door.
At the same time, a ray of light was emitted!
The ban on the gate was activated to ensure absolute safety inside and no one would disturb them.

Sitting next to the old man, Zhou Xun had no interest in small talk and asked directly:
"I wonder what kind of spiritual bamboo you have in your hand, Daoist Fellow. Can you show it to me?"

"Of course!" The old man smiled and patted his waist.

A ray of spiritual light flew out and landed on the table in front of the two people, transforming into a foot-long wooden box with a third-grade top-grade soul-sealing talisman affixed to it.

"Please look, fellow Taoist!" the old man said as he opened the box!

A ray of five-colored light was reflected, and then the real body inside was revealed!
This is a six-inch long, little finger-sized piece of spiritual bamboo, with a colorful appearance.
"This is 'Five Mysterious Bamboo'!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed!

The Wuxuan Spiritual Bamboo is a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual bamboo that has five attributes and excellent permeability. It can be said to be one of the most suitable spiritual bamboos for refining talisman pens!

Zhou Xun originally thought that he could just get a single-attribute spiritual bamboo.
I didn’t expect to see this bamboo, it’s really a great opportunity!

"I wonder if Brother Zhou is satisfied?" the old man said with a slight smile.

"This is exactly what I want!" Zhou Xun nodded.

However, although this treasure is good, its price is naturally not cheap. Zhou Xun's bottle of Guyuan Dan cannot compare to this spiritual bamboo.

"Please take out the Guyuan Pill and let us see it!" the old man continued.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and handed over a three-inch jade bottle.

The old man took it, pulled out the cork, poured out a pill and put it in his palm. He first sniffed it, then used a spell to explore it, and finally showed a satisfied look.
"Yes, it is the Gu Yuan Dan, of excellent quality!"

"But my spiritual bamboo is extremely rare and valuable. I'm afraid this bottle of Gu Yuan Dan is not enough!"

Zhou Xun thought for a moment, then took out four top-grade spirit stones.
"How about adding these four spirit stones?"

"Okay!" The old man hesitated for a while, but finally agreed!

"That's great!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed and immediately put the piece of spiritual bamboo into his storage bag.

In this way, all the materials for refining top-grade talisman pens have been collected, and the next step is to entrust it to a fourth-level refiner to complete it.

"Promotion to the fourth-level Talisman Master is just around the corner!"

After paying a 10% commission, which was one hundred and twenty high-quality spirit stones, Zhou Xun said goodbye and left!
After leaving the gate of Wuliu Pavilion, Zhou Xun did not rush back.

He went straight to Zhenhai Hall to visit Master Qianchuan.

As the lord of Zhenhai Immortal City, he has a wide network of contacts. If he wants to find someone to refine talisman pens, Zhenjun Qianchuan is the best introducer.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhou Xun's request, Zhenjun Qianchuan agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, bro. Your business is my business!"

"Now in Zhenhai Immortal City, there are four people whose weapon-refining skills have reached the fourth level, but when it comes to refining talisman pens, the best one is True Lord Yongyuan!"

"This man was born as a casual cultivator, and now he is a guest official of the Righteous Alliance. He has many friends. I don't know how many magic weapons he has refined. There are no less than four top-grade talisman pens. With him taking action, everything will be safe!"

"I'll depend on you, Brother Taoist, for this matter!" Zhou Xun bowed!
Three days later, accompanied by True Lord Qianchuan, Zhou Xun went to visit True Lord Yongyuan's cave.
