Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 622: Fifth-level elixir on the top of Leijia Mountain!
In the Thunder Lake, Zhou Xun sat naked and cross-legged.

Above his head, his natal magic weapon, the Thunder Pool, was suspended, constantly absorbing the power of thunder elements from the lake of thunder magma to replenish itself.

Zhou Xun himself mobilized the spiritual power in his body and guided the rich thunder spiritual power around him to slowly flow into his body.

Under his precise control, the violent power of thunder and lightning moved along specific meridian routes like a tamed beast.

Arcs of lightning constantly tempered his muscles, bones, and internal organs, bringing bursts of pain while also stimulating the potential deep within his body.

Zhou Xun's face was solemn. He concentrated on feeling every change in his body and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

As time passed, the power of thunder and lightning in his body became more and more violent, as if it felt Zhou Xun's challenge and attacked his body frantically.

The arcs of electricity stabbed at him like sharp swords, as if they were going to swallow him up.

At the same time, Zhou Xun's body refining technique gradually reached its peak. His body seemed to have turned into a huge iron ingot, which was constantly being hammered.

Every impact and refining made his body stronger, and he was getting closer and closer to the tenth level of the Body Refining Technique.

Just like this, thirteen days passed by in a flash.

this day,
A strong light suddenly burst out from Zhou Xun's body, and that light contained terrifying power of thunder and lightning.

Then, a powerful aura emanated from him, and the water in the surrounding Lei Lake was shaken by this aura and ripples appeared.

I saw arcs of lightning flashing on his body surface, and then they slowly retreated and became normal, as if everything he had experienced before was just a dream.

Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he felt the surging power in his body, as if it could shake the mountains and rivers.

Just now, his Body Refining Technique successfully broke through the tenth level, which is equivalent to the early stage of Nascent Soul in terms of magic power cultivation.

Now, in terms of physique alone, he can already be compared with a fourth-order low-grade demon beast.

In this way, he had one more method of the Nascent Soul stage, and more importantly, his own defensive capabilities were greatly enhanced.

After returning to the cave of Yuxiao Zhenjun, Zhou Xun rested for another day. The lightning in the lake of thunder and lightning was really violent.
With his current cultivation level, he had to deal with it with all his heart and soul, otherwise, if he was not careful, his body would be damaged.

But this state was extremely exhausting for his spirit.

After recuperation, Zhou Xun's energy and spirit returned to their peak.

"Next, let's try out the power of the tenth level of body refining!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself, slapped his hand to his waist, and took out a long knife. This was the trophy he got after killing a unlucky guy.
Mid-grade magic weapon level!

Hold it with your right hand and slowly inject mana into it.
The long sword instantly emitted a layer of green light, with extraordinary power.
Aiming at his left arm, Zhou Xun chopped it down without hesitation.

"Ding--"

There was a sound of metal hitting.

Zhou Xun's arm was completely unharmed, without even a trace of broken skin. In contrast, the long sword was dim, as if it had lost its spiritual power.

This is a genuine mid-grade attack magic weapon, and it is only at this level that cultivators in the late Jindan stage can use.

It didn't cause any damage to Zhou Xun's body.
"It seems that my physique is a little stronger than those ordinary fourth-level monsters. At least the monster shark I killed that year was definitely not as strong as this!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun was very happy.

In fact, this is normal. The art of lightning body tempering comes from the "Purple Sky Thunder Art", which is a top-level technique passed down from the upper realm. Even if it is not the core secret technique,

It is naturally stronger than ordinary body-building exercises.

After the experiment, Zhou Xun had a rough idea of ​​the results of this training.

It is equivalent to adding a fourth-level low-grade defense for no reason, and it does not consume any mana.

This is the eighteenth day since he came here.

"There are still about ten days before the lightning tide!" Zhou Xun looked at Lei Lake reluctantly.

"If it wasn't for the fact that refining lightning seeds takes too long, at least half a month for each one, I would have stayed here!"

"Now that the purpose of my coming here has been achieved, I will go and take a look at the fifth-level lower-grade 'Xuan Lei Yun Zhi'. If it is still there, I will find a way to take it away later!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun didn't stay any longer. He stood up and left the cave.

With a flip of his hand, the control flag of the "Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation" instantly appeared in his palm.
Slowly injecting magic power, waving it forward,
"laugh--"

I saw streams of light breaking through the air, flying out from the ground, hovering in front of Zhou Xun, and transforming into 360 battle flags.

With a big wave,
Put it all into a huge wooden box and put it into the storage bag.

This magic array is of the highest grade of the fourth level, and it even has the ability to self-destruct. Even great monks cannot be spared. Naturally, he does not want to miss out on such a treasure.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun turned his attention to the cave in front of him.

Zhou Xun had already recognized that this cave was the Tianji House recorded in the classics. When not in use, it could be folded up and put into a storage bag.
When it is used, it will become an extremely comfortable cave, which is extremely convenient.

Of course, this kind of cave dwelling is only a relatively low-level one. The legendary powerful monks can directly open up a small space as a cave dwelling.

Arriving in front of the cave, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and a beam of spiritual light shot forward.

The Tianji House suddenly shrank and became the size of a palm. It fell into Zhou Xun's hand like a model.

He put it to his waist and put it into the storage bag.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun did not linger here any longer. He flew up and rushed out of Lei Lake.

Go straight to the place where the 'Xuan Lei Yun Zhi' is recorded on the map - Leijia Mountain.

Two days later, Zhou Xun was only one day away from his destination.
As he passed by the foot of a mountain,

suddenly
A powerful aura suddenly invaded from the top of the mountain.

He was startled and looked carefully.

He saw a thunder dragon with a body of one hundred feet long, bathed in lightning, looking towards him, its head as big as a hill!
"This is a fourth-order, top-grade monster!" Zhou Xun's heart suddenly shrank, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

This person is equivalent to a great monk, and with his current strength, he is no match for him!
"Not good, hurry up!" A thought flashed through my mind.
The Thunder Wings instantly appeared behind Han, and with a flap, the whole person appeared hundreds of feet away. At the same time, a lightning bolt as thick as a bucket struck the place where Zhou Xun had just stood, and the huge power directly smashed the several-foot-sized stone into pieces.
Scattered.

"Roar--"

After missing the attack, the Thunder Dragon roared angrily, twisted its huge body, and actually chased directly in the direction of Zhou Xun.

Wherever it passed, rocks collapsed, trees broke, and deep marks were left on the ground.

Facing the pursuit of such a powerful being, Zhou Xun became calmer, and the magic power in his body continued to flow towards the Thunder Wings.
Perhaps this dragon was not good at escaping, and for a moment, it was unable to close the distance between the two sides. Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the monsters in this Thunder Prison are the same as those in the Quicksand Sea. They have no intelligence and all their fighting methods are just following their instincts."

"In this case, it's not difficult to deal with."

“If Fellow Daoist Xuan Lei and the others were here, we might be able to hunt it down together. A fourth-order upper-grade thunder dragon would definitely be a big harvest!”

Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh!

At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the dangers in this thunder prison.

At this moment, a series of high mountains appeared not far away, and Zhou Xun's heart moved.
He rushed in without hesitation, chose a valley and fell straight down.
Next, Zhou Xun took out a talisman, activated it and stuck it on his body, then escaped underground to a depth of a thousand feet.

At this time, he injected his magic power into the Thousand Masks.

He restrained his aura to the extreme, and his whole body was like a stone.

Outside, the Thunder Dragon was chasing closely behind, but suddenly lost sight of Zhou Xun and immediately fell down. Its roar echoed in the valley, making people terrified.

Still no trace of Zhou Xun was found, and the case ended up in nothing.

After a whole day, Zhou Xun carefully floated back to the surface. This place was a valley with rocks everywhere. He thought it was the work of the thunder dragon.

Such hard rock can be easily broken in the hands of this thunder dragon. It seems that it was right to choose to escape at the first moment.

If we really clash head-on, we will definitely suffer a great loss!

Zhou Xun took out the map and after careful comparison, he realized that his location was not farther from Leijia Mountain, but the direction was different.

So Zhou Xun decided to continue on his way.

Another day passed, and Zhou Xun arrived at his destination smoothly.

Leijia Mountain is located at the junction of the inner and outer areas of the Thunder Prison. The environment is extremely harsh, like the real Nine Heavens Thunder Prison.

Looking up, Mount Leijia at this moment looked like a doomsday place. The mountain peaks were towering into the clouds, shrouded in layers of dark clouds. Lightning poured down from the sky like a waterfall, striking the hard rocks and splashing countless sparks.

The mountain seemed to be shaking constantly, as if it was enduring endless pain.

On the ground, the charred rocks exuded a hot breath, and electric arcs occasionally burst out from the cracks, which was daunting.

"It's just the border between the inner and outer circles, but it's already like this. If it were really the inner circle, what kind of scene would it be like!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh.

Only then did he understand that what Master Leiyu said was true. If he wanted to enter the inner area to explore, he would need to have at least the late Nascent Soul stage of cultivation, otherwise he would be seeking death.

"According to the markings on the map, the 'Xuan Lei Yun Zhi' is on the top of this mountain. Let's go and take a look. However, this kind of spiritual medicine may be guarded by powerful monsters, so we should be careful!"

He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A blue light flew out from his hands and formed a thin shield around his body.

Together with the black tortoise shield that was originally blocking in front of him, it was a total of three layers of defense. Only then did Zhou Xun feel at ease walking up the mountain.

Then, Zhou Xun activated the Thousand Masks and restrained his aura to the extreme, making him no different from an ordinary person.

At the same time, he did not intend to cast any spells, but to rely on his physical strength to climb up.
In this way, even if we encounter a powerful creature like the Thunder Dragon again in Leijia Mountain, we will be much safer.
After all, any existence of that kind would simply ignore a mortal being with such a weak aura.

What's more, his body refining technique had just broken through the tenth level. His physical strength alone was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so his climbing speed was naturally not slow.

Sure enough, after doing this, he encountered several monsters on the way, and all of them ignored Zhou Xun's existence.

Everything went smoothly. After several hours, Zhou Xun successfully reached the top of the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, a half-foot-long Ganoderma lucidum was bathed in lightning.

The entire body of this medicine is crystal clear, like Wanrong crystal. Runes appear out of thin air around it, full of spiritual charm!
"It is indeed a fifth-level elixir!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed.
He had cultivated this level of spiritual medicine himself before, and it felt exactly like this.
"If I can get this spiritual medicine and cultivate it to the fifth-grade upper grade, I wonder how much my sensitivity will be improved!"

Maybe, it is possible to directly reach the peak of the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

At the same time, his original body's cultivation will also experience a rapid increase, and it is very likely that he will directly surpass his incarnation!
Faced with such temptation, Zhou Xun became more alert.

Such a spiritual creature, growing brightly on the top of the mountain, has survived safely until now. There must be some powerful means to protect it.

Or there are powerful monsters guarding it!
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun came up with an idea.
He clapped his hands to his waist, and a beam of spiritual light flew out and fell to the ground, transforming into a humanoid puppet. This was made by him in his spare time.

The third-grade upper-quality material is extremely good, including many of the fourth-grade lower-quality materials.

"go with!"

Pointing at the 'Xuan Lei Yun Zhi' thousands of feet away,
The puppet approached cautiously.
One thousand feet, five hundred feet, three hundred feet, one hundred feet
Finally, a ray of lightning suddenly appeared fifty feet away from the spiritual medicine.
The puppet froze for a moment, and then Zhou Xun lost contact with it.

Sensing this, Zhou Xun was startled and looked over quickly.
I saw a palm-sized illusory little man with wings on his back appear there. He was extremely agile and flapped his wings.

Although it is very small, its power is extraordinary.
The puppet just now lost contact with Zhou Xun without any warning, which means,

This spirit has the ability to instantly clear the imprint of spiritual consciousness.
This is not something that ordinary monsters can do.

Suddenly, Zhou Xun seemed to remember the records about this thing.
"Could it be a phantom?"

This is what Zhou Xun saw in a book introducing the wonders of heaven and earth. It is said that this phantom is extremely magical and only about an inch in size.
But like the human Yuanying, it has the ability to teleport.

It's a pity that my wisdom is not very high.
But it is the most top-level refining material in the human world and a treasure that every refining master dreams of.

Its greatest use is that it can save you the most difficult step of giving birth to spiritual consciousness when upgrading to a spiritual treasure.

The ancient weapon refining masters were able to refine phantom spirits into magic weapons, turning them into weapon spirits, thus completing the most critical step in the spiritual weapon's promotion!
