Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 606 Steady development and improved strength!
When Zhou Xun went out, he took a small bag of Lingwu tea with him.

Although this tea is only of the third-grade top grade, judging from the reactions of several Nascent Soul cultivators such as Tianci Zhenjun, it can be of great help to them.

Previously, True Lord Yongyuan had made the talisman pen for him without charging any fees, so Zhou Xun naturally wanted to return the favor and give him something good as a return gift.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhou Xun arrived at the entrance of the Yongyuan Zhenjun Cave.
He took out a sound transmission talisman, whispered a few words, and then threw it inside.

The talisman turned into flames and sank into the cave.

After about a moment, the door of the cave was opened from the inside, and then a huge figure squeezed out.

At the same time, there was an extremely cheerful voice:

"Hahaha, Brother Daoist Zhou's visit brings honor to my humble abode. Please come in!"

Zhenjun Yongyuan was extremely enthusiastic, making people feel like they were in spring breeze, which was completely different from the cold reception Zhou Xun received the last time he came.

It seems that in this world, the strong are respected, and only those with strength can gain respect.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and cupped his hands:

"Brother Yongyuan, you are too polite!"

Then he followed him into the door and went straight to the reception room!

Before he sat down, Zhou Xun flipped his hand, took out a small packet of spiritual tea, and placed it on the table made of third-level spiritual wood.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what's this?"

"Brother Dao, you've taken so much trouble to make the talisman pen for me!"

"This is the Lingwu Tea that is produced in abundance in my hometown. Although it is only of the third-grade premium quality, it has a unique flavor. Daoist Brothers Tianci and Qianchuan both praised it highly. I'll bring it to you to try!"

"It's just a token of my appreciation!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"It's actually spiritual tea. How did you know that I love it? I'm in for a treat today!" True Lord Yongyuan laughed.

"Let me brew a pot!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and took out two teacups, both of which were made of third-grade top-grade spiritual jade and were extremely valuable.

Take out a few leaves of spiritual tea from Zhou Xun's tea bag and put them into the teacup.
Then he clasped his hands together and pointed at the teacup!
A flash of spiritual light flew out and hit it, and water in the teacup began to flow, and then it began to boil with a "gurgling sound"!

Wisps of the fragrance of tea began to emanate.

"please!"

"Brother, please!" Zhou Xun picked up the teacup and pointed slightly.

Master Yongyuan picked up the teacup and pointed at it. He then took a deep breath and became more energetic. He put the spiritual tea in his hand into his mouth.

As the tea goes down my throat, I feel it is sweet and moist. A warm current rises from my abdomen and slowly flows through my body, as if all the fatigue and worldly thoughts in my body have been washed away.

As the effect of the spiritual tea gradually emerged, his state of mind became calm and peaceful!
“Good tea, really good tea!”

The True Lord Yongyuan praised it highly.

If the previous words still contained some flattery, now they are completely sincere praise, I really like it.

"Haha, I'm not bragging, but this magical tea of ​​mine has been drunk by True Lord Tianci, True Lord Qianchuan and others, and everyone loves it!"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Then the two chatted for a long time, until nightfall, and then they were ready to leave.

Before leaving, Zhenjun Yongyuan handed the refined talisman pen to Zhou Xun.

"The refining went extremely smoothly this time. This pen is the best I've ever made. Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you open it and take a look!"

Zhou Xun hurriedly took the wooden box containing the talisman pen.

Gently opening it, a seven-inch long, grayish-white talisman pen was revealed, with the two characters "Jin Zhu" engraved on it. Zhou Xun had specially instructed Master Yongyuan to engrave it.

It is to commemorate the one I used before!
This pen may not seem impressive from the outside, but as long as you take a quick look with your spiritual sense, you can find a spiritual charm hidden inside. The spiritual light is restrained, and it is a rare masterpiece!

With a thought, he took out a set of third-level talisman tools and started refining them on the spot.
The pen moves smoothly and smoothly.
In just a few moments, a third-grade top-quality talisman was drawn!

Carefully recalling the process of refining just now, the spiritual power transmission was extremely clear, and even had some bonuses. He could not help but nod repeatedly,
"Good, good, it is indeed an excellent talisman pen. Thank you, Brother Yongyuan!" Zhou Xun bowed to express his gratitude.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, what you said is too distant. We hit it off right away. What's the big deal about refining a talisman pen?"

"If you have any treasures that need refining in the future, just come to me!"

True Lord Yongyuan laughed and acted very familiarly, which was in stark contrast to his arrogance at the beginning!

"Okay, Brother Yongyuan, please don't dislike my frequent visits in the future, hahaha." Zhou Xun joked, then bowed and left.

When he returned to the cave, it was already night, so Zhou Xun went into the bedroom to rest!

Although at his current level of cultivation, not sleeping would not have any effect on him, he still wanted to keep some of his habits as a mortal.
He found that this had a significant impact on his state of mind!
The next day, the sun shone through the window onto Zhou Xun's face, as if it were covered with a layer of golden gauze.
He just woke up at this moment, stretched himself, and showed a sense of satisfaction!

"Sure enough, even for a cultivator, getting some sleep has significant benefits!" Zhou Xun felt that his mood was extremely peaceful and natural at this moment!
So he went straight to the practice room.

He took out a cushion and sat cross-legged in front of a table.

Then Zhou Xun lit a third-grade top-grade calming incense, and a scent of sandalwood rose and lingered around his nose.

Zhou Xun's originally peaceful heart became even more peaceful.

So he closed his eyes slightly and began to regulate his breathing.

About half a minute later, all his energy and spirit reached its peak. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a calm gaze.

"Now, success or failure depends on this!"

This was his second time refining a fourth-level talisman, and he had a strong feeling that he would succeed.

Wiping his hands to the storage bag on his waist, several rays of light flew out and landed on the desk in front of him.

An exquisite wooden box with a third-grade, top-quality soul-sealing talisman affixed to it.

From this, it can be seen that the treasure contained inside must be extremely precious, and it is the fourth-level talisman paper refined by Tianci Zhenjun before!
All of them are made from the skin of fourth-level demon king beasts.

A small ball of spiritual ink, emitting a faint spiritual charm, tells you that this thing is extraordinary. It is made of the blood of a fourth-level demon king as the main ingredient, mixed with several kinds of precious materials.

Together with the top-grade magical pen Jinzhu, these are all the materials for this refining.

Zhou Xun looked at the talisman pen in front of him, his eyes gleaming.
With a flick of his finger, a ray of spiritual light fell on the wooden box, and the soul-sealing talisman automatically fell off the wooden box and opened. Then a piece of spiritual fourth-level talisman paper flew out from it and spread out in front of him.

"This time, it will definitely succeed!" Zhou Xun said to himself.

After saying this, he picked up the talisman pen without hesitation and dipped it lightly in the spiritual ink.
He began to write on the talisman paper in front of him.
Zhou Xun, who had many experiences in refining third-level talismans, was very steady and did not waver at all. The spiritual power in his body flowed along the talisman pen in his hand and slowly melted into the spiritual ink.
Then the tip of the pen stayed on the talisman paper,
The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and everything is done in one go.
The spiritual circuits are instantly connected!
Completing this step means that the talisman is halfway successful, but Zhou Xun did not relax his vigilance. He carefully examined the unfinished talisman, fearing that there might be some problems with it.

Because last time a problem occurred at this step, the impure spiritual power caused a conflict, leading to spontaneous combustion and damage.

After waiting for a few breaths, there was no change on the talisman paper, only a faint overflow of spiritual light, showing that this talisman was extraordinary!

"Good, good, it looks like it was successful!" Zhou Xun was delighted.

Then, he made hand gestures with both hands, and a beam of spiritual light hit the talisman.

The art of sealing spirits!

As this spell was cast, the talisman instantly became silent and became extremely ordinary.

At this point, the fourth-level talisman has been refined.

This also means that Zhou Xun has officially entered the realm of a fourth-level Talisman Master, and is fully worthy of the title of "Talisman Master!"

"It has been more than a hundred years since I started learning to make talismans. I have finally become a fourth-level talisman master. All my hard work has paid off!"

Zhou Xun smiled lightly.

After resting for a while and adjusting his mood, Zhou Xun began to proceed to the next step!
Perform the art of talisman concealment!

In order to increase the power of this talisman, he used the secret technique of talisman storage on a fourth-level talisman. This was his first time, so he was extremely careful.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and muttered something.
As the spell was activated, the magic power on his fingertips surged and glowed slightly. Zhou Xun immediately pointed at the talisman in front of him.
A ray of green light shot up,
After a moment, the spiritual light was absorbed by the talisman, and a very weak sense of connection came from it!
Feeling this, Zhou Xun was delighted.
"Success!"

Then he put the talisman into his dantian and used his own magic power to nourish it.

As long as he waits for several years to nurture, the power of this talisman will greatly increase and become one of his trump cards!

After doing all this, Zhou Xun felt a little happy.

"I just didn't expect that among all the skills, it was the talisman technique that first broke through to the fourth level!"

Zhou Xun could guess the reason.
Firstly, the art of talismans was the first to be inherited at the fourth level, and there was no shortage of materials during the war between humans and demons.

Secondly, with the advice and communication from Tianci Zhenjun, the master of talismans, day and night, his progress was naturally rapid. With this fourth-level talisman pen,
It is only natural to be the first to break through!
In addition, his alchemy is now at the peak of the third level. Fortunately, he had inherited the alchemy from Dan Yuan Zhenjun, which is as high as the fourth level.

There is no need to worry about inheritance for a long time.
As for the art of formation, it is now at the upper third level, and is only one step away from the peak. However, there will be no inheritance after that, and it will be extremely difficult to break through to the fourth level!

"At the next exchange meeting, I wonder if I can exchange for a fourth-level formation inheritance!"

However, Zhou Xun did not dare to hold too much hope, because any fourth-level inheritance is the sect’s most core treasure and will not be easily leaked!
"If I can become a fourth-level formation master, my status in the fairy city will probably rise a few levels!" Zhou Xun sighed.

Nowadays in the Immortal City, among all the skills, the formation master is the most glorious, with the best treatment and the highest status.

Even if a great monk meets him, he will treat him with courtesy!

"The focus from now on should be on formations and alchemy. Improving formations will also be of great help to my understanding of sword formation techniques!"

Then, Zhou Xun meditated for half an hour and began to refine the second talisman.

However, this time he refined a treasure talisman.
It is also one of the components of the Tiangang Talisman Formation.

If he could have a set of fourth-order lower-grade Tiangang Talisman Formation, his strength would definitely be greatly enhanced again. At least, he wouldn't be under so much pressure when facing the Nanyuan Demon King!

Six days later, Zhou Xun stopped.

He refined a total of ten talismans, and there was still a shortage of twenty-six.

The biggest reason is the material problem. The fourth-level talisman paper he has is limited, which is not enough to refine a complete set of talismans.

"I didn't expect that even though I killed three demon kings, I still didn't have enough materials to refine the talisman. I have to buy some more!"

"Fortunately, there will be an exchange fair in half a year. Many Yuanying-stage monsters will be present. I think it shouldn't be a problem to collect a batch of fourth-level animal skins!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun felt much more at ease.

Now, he still has one thing to do, which is to sacrifice and refine the thunder seeds and the thunder pool.

Previously, he purchased two Mysterious Thunder Crystals through the Wu Liu Pavilion. Now that he was free, he took this opportunity to absorb all the Thunder Yuan power from them.
Enhance the power of thunder seeds and magic thunder pool!

You know, Zhou Xun's natal magic weapon is still of mid-grade level.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Zhou Xun's short training time and insufficient time to nourish the Thunder Pool, but he has now been promoted to Nascent Soul.
The nourishment speed is several times faster than before. As long as enough thunder element power is provided, there should be no problem in advancing the thunder pool to a higher level!

By then, his strength will be greatly improved!

No longer feeling the powerlessness he had felt before when facing the Demon King of Nanyuan.

After killing True Lord Yuxuan that day, the Nanyuan Demon King's magical power, which seemed like a punishment from heaven, suppressed True Lord Yanmo's mighty power with one blow.

He still remembers it vividly.

It was then that he understood that in the fourth realm, the late stage and below the late stage were two completely different levels, the gap between them was enormous!
After all, those who can cultivate to the late fourth realm are all outstanding people, and they were all geniuses who fought across levels when they were young!
"Even if you can't win, you must have the strength to fight back!"

Zhou Xun's eyes gleamed, he slapped his hand to his waist and took out the jade box containing the Mysterious Thunder Crystal!

With a flick of his finger, the soul-sealing talisman fell off automatically, and the jade box opened.

At the same time, purple light shot out from the box, turning the entire training room purple, and the sound of lightning arcs could be heard in the air!

"Good baby!"

Zhou Xun grabbed one of them and held it in his hand!
In an instant, several purple lightning bolts suddenly struck, went up along Zhou Xun's arm, and wrapped half of his body!
It made his body numb!

Regardless of the abnormality of his body, Zhou Xun opened his mouth slightly, and a two-inch square thunder pool flew out and hovered in front of Zhou Xun.

Then he made a hand gesture and pointed at the Mysterious Thunder Crystal.
A ray of blue-purple light was drawn out, moved towards the thunder pool, and was then instantly absorbed!
"Zizi-"

An explosion sounded instantly in the thunder pool; it was the violent force of thunder being refined!

After a long time, the sound gradually disappeared, and the thunder pool returned to calm.
This means that the thunder force was successfully refined and became a part of the thunder pool!

In the following time, Zhou Xun continued to repeat the operation.

It was not until two months later that the cave received a visit from an old friend!
