Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 624: Refining Thunder Seeds Again, the Number of Earthly Evils!
It was half a month later when Zhou Xun and his three companions returned to Zhenhai Fairy City.

They held a simple exchange meeting, but unfortunately Zhou Xun didn't find the treasure he wanted, so he just became a spectator.
However, Master Leiyu and Master Xuanlei were talking to each other in voice transmission, as if they had reached some deal.

Zhou Xun gained a lot from this trip, and I think others also gained a lot.

After the exchange, the few of them had a simple banquet and then went their separate ways.

As he walked along the road, Zhou Xun kept recalling the scene of encountering the ghost fog that day.
He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
After all, they had encountered a ghost fog outbreak in the East Wasteland Fengyuan before, but the scale of that outbreak was not as large as this one in the Quicksand Sea.
even,

He was guessing in his heart,

Is it possible that the reason why the Western Desert Cultivation World has become so desolate is also related to the Ghost World? After all, it is because of this that the Eastern Desert has lost the vitality of heaven and earth.
From a large cultivation area to a cultivation desert,

Those who have not been able to break through the Nascent Soul stage so far,

"No, although my cultivation is too low to intervene in this matter, the ghost fog broke out in the Quicksand Sea, bordering Zhongzhou,"

"This matter should be handled by the three leaders!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun, who had already reached the entrance of the cave, turned back again and headed towards the cave of Lord Yan Mo.
This leader had invited him several times before.

Now the matter has been resolved.

Following the passage further in, we arrived at some of the best cave areas in the fairy city. All the people living here are cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

Soon, he found the entrance to Lord Yan Mo's cave.

He flipped his hand, took out a sound transmission talisman, whispered a few words, and then threw it inside. The sound transmission talisman turned into a beam of fire and flew inside.

Didn't wait long.
The door opened from the inside.

A black-faced man with a nose ring and two horns on his forehead came out.

"But Master Zhou is here, so please come in!"

The man saluted respectfully!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun immediately understood that this was the mount of Lord Yama, a fourth-rank medium-grade monster named Tyrant Bull that possessed some Kuiniu blood!

He is a very famous existence in the whole of Central Plains.

"Good work!"

Zhou Xun replied politely, and then, under the guidance of the man, walked into the cave.

The layout of the cave here is exactly the same as theirs, except that the concentration of spiritual energy has reached the fourth-order middle level.

In this Zhenhai Fairy City, it is already the best.

When I arrived at the reception room, I saw Yan Mo Zhenjun already sitting in the main seat waiting.
"Meet Alliance Leader Yu!"

"Hahaha, I thought there seemed to be some happy event today. Turns out it's Brother Zhou who came to visit. What a rare guest!"

"We hit it off right away. There's no need to be so distant. We can just call each other brothers from now on!"

Lord Yama said with a smile.

"Zhou is respectful and would rather obey your command, Brother Yu Dao!"

"Very good, very good!"

"I've heard that Brother Zhou loves spiritual tea. I happen to have two cups of fourth-grade mid-quality Snow Moon Tea. Please taste them!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and two cups of spiritual tea appeared on the table in front of Zhou Xun.

"This is the first time I've seen a fourth-grade, mid-quality spiritual tea!"

After saying this, he picked up the tea.

This tea looks very ordinary. Judging from its appearance and smell, it is no different from ordinary tea.

But for it to have such a big name, it can't be this thing.
Yama Zhenjun would not tease him with such a thing.
Then there is only one truth,
This tea has a subtle charm and is only experienced after drinking it.
I took a sip immediately.
As the tea took his first sip, a refreshing feeling instantly rose up in his mouth, making him extremely clear-headed. It was much better than the fourth-grade lower-grade tranquilizing incense.
The effect is several times better!
After the tea went into his stomach, Zhou Xun felt as if he was in the Arctic ice field, with wind and snow all over the sky, which was fascinating!
When he came to his senses, another pure spiritual energy rose up and filled his meridians.

Just practice the technique a little bit and refine it all.
This small sip was actually enough to equal ten days of hard training.

"It is indeed a good tea, with beautiful artistic conception and full of spiritual energy!" Zhou Xun praised it highly.

"If you like it, Brother Zhou, bring a pack with you later!" Lord Yama said generously and nonchalantly.

When he reached this stage,
Ordinary spiritual objects no longer have any appeal to him. Only things that are useful for breaking through to the spiritual realm can arouse his interest.

After all, even among the great cultivators, Lord Yama is a unique existence.

"By the way, brother, you don't usually come here. I'm sure you came here today not just to visit!"

"Brother Dao has a sharp gaze!"

"I am here to tell you something?"

"Brother Dao, do you know about ghost fog?"

Zhou Xun's expression turned serious and he spoke seriously.

"Of course I have heard of this thing. Ghost fog is the remaining poison left after the ghosts invaded our human world in the past. It erupts from time to time!"

Lord Yama nodded and said,

As the leader of the Demonic Alliance, he naturally knows many secrets that many people don't know.

"Yes, this time when I left Zhenhai Fairy City, I encountered this ghost fog. Its location is the Quicksand Sea west of Yuexi Fairy City."

"The scale of the ghost fog this time is staggering, at least hundreds of thousands of miles in radius!"

When Zhou Xun thought of the scene that day, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"The ghost fog has not appeared in my Central Continent for thousands of years. Now it suddenly appears. The situation is not good!"

Lord Yan Mo's eyes also became serious.

"I will discuss this matter with the other alliance leaders. Thank you for informing me of this matter!"

"I am also a member of Zhongzhou, so it is my duty!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand.

After explaining this, his goal for today has been accomplished, but since it is a rare opportunity to come here, Zhou Xun still discussed the Dao with Yan Mo Zhenjun.
Zhou Xun benefited a lot from this, and without staying any longer, he went straight to his own cave.

"Sir, you are back!"

After three months of absence, Jiang Wanning was extremely happy to see Zhou Xun again. She couldn't help but hug him barefoot.

After these years of getting along, the relationship between the two has become much more harmonious.

Jiang Wanning also became familiar with the group.

"I haven't seen you for three months. You've improved a lot!"

As his spiritual sense passed over the beautiful woman's body, Zhou Xun knew all her situations clearly.

"I have to thank you for the Dan Yuan wine that you gave me. Without this spiritual item, how could Wan Ning, with her inferior appearance, improve her cultivation so quickly!"

Jiang Wanning lowered her head slightly.

"By the way, speaking of Danyuan wine, please go to Wuliu Pavilion and find Manager Gao to buy me a hundred kilograms of Danyuan wine!"

If Jiang Wanning hadn't mentioned it, Zhou Xun would have almost forgotten it! During this trip to the Thunder Prison, he got a fourth-level middle-grade demon beast inner pill with thunder attribute. If he used it to make Danyuan wine,

Firstly, its attributes are the same as Zhou Xun's, and secondly, its grade is higher.
Its effect in assisting cultivation must be several times greater than the current one!
"I'll arrange it right away!" He was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhou Xun.

"There's no rush for this, it's okay to go tomorrow,"

After saying that, Jiang Wanning looked at the beauty in his arms with a smile. She naturally understood what Zhou Xun meant. It had been three months since she had tasted meat, so she should have a good intimate time with her!
The next morning, Jiang Wanning lay lazily in Zhou Xun's arms, with a blush on her face that had not yet faded.

"This time out, the young master seems to be much braver!"

"Wan Ning, Wan Ning can't bear it anymore!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but think of the madness of last night, and her face turned red.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but get excited. He turned over and spent another messy morning.

This time when he went out, he broke through the tenth level of the Body Refining Technique, and his physique was even stronger than that of a fourth-level low-grade monster.
Ordinary magic weapons cannot hurt him at all, so naturally this will show.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xun walked out of the bedroom feeling refreshed. As for Jiang Wanning, she took a thousand top-grade spirit stones and went to Wuliu Pavilion to buy Danyuan wine.

Zhou Xun came to the insect room.

At this time, the Swallowtail Butterfly was sleeping soundly in its nest. Perhaps it sensed Zhou Xun's breath and woke up.
He looked towards Zhou Xun, and then a feeling of joy came out.

It flapped its wings and flew up, flew out of the insect room, landed on Zhou Xun's shoulder, and rubbed his collar affectionately.

After three months of not seeing it, the aura of the Swallowtail Butterfly has increased a little. It seems that there will be no bottleneck before it is cultivated to the peak of the third level.
At that time, you will need to prepare the secret elixir to help it advance!

"It seems that Wan Ning has made great progress in the Hundred Insects Manual. She does have a certain talent for controlling insects!"

I slightly praised it in my heart.

Then he slapped his storage bag and took out a jade bottle about an inch in size, which contained third-level spiritual liquid.

Pull out the cork from the bottle and gently pour out three soybean-sized drops of spiritual liquid into the palm of your hand.
The swallowtail butterfly immediately felt a desire, fluttered into Zhou Xun's hands, and greedily sucked the drop of spiritual liquid.

But in just a moment, it was all absorbed.
This spirit butterfly is good, but it consumes a lot of energy. If he hadn't already reached the Nascent Soul stage, he probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
As for its promotion to the fourth level, Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel a little headache.
“Let’s think about the future in the future.”

He sighed and shook his head, then gently gave his hand away.
The Psylocke flapped its wings and flew back to its nest in the insect room, continuing to sleep!
Then, he went to the room of the Earth Element Beast to check. It was still in seclusion at this time, and there was a hint of a breakthrough on its body.

I think within the next few years, I will be able to reach the fourth level.

Once successful, he will have another fourth-level demon king under his command!
Although it is not that helpful in terms of combat power for him now, it is still extremely enviable if it is told to others.

A fourth-level spiritual beast is rare in the entire Central Continent, let alone two of them.

"A turtle and a beast, the Demon King pulling the cart, it's absolutely amazing!"

Not long after, Jiang Wanning returned from outside.

"how?"

Speaking of which, Zhou Xun was a little worried when she just left. After all, this was a hundred kilograms of Danyuan wine, worth a thousand high-quality spirit stones.
Wuliu Pavilion may not have so much stock!
"We've bought them all. Shopkeeper Gao's 100-plus kilograms of stock has been given to us!"

"But he only took one thousand high-grade spirit stones from us!"

As he spoke, Jiang Wanning flipped his hand and took out a yellow wine gourd. This was a wine vessel that Zhou Xun had specially asked someone to customize, and it was actually a mid-grade magical weapon.

Zhou Xun took it and looked at it. It was indeed several kilograms heavier, worth forty or fifty high-quality spirit stones.

Can buy two low-grade magic weapons!
"Manager Gao really knows how to do business!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but feel fond of him.

"With this gourd of spiritual wine, it will be much easier for me to practice in the future!" He then turned his gaze to Jiang Wanning:

"How is the spirit wine you have? Is it enough? If not, just tell me. I'm brewing another 100 kilograms now."

"Add the original ones and you'll have plenty of wine!"

"Thank you, sir. I still have some in my hand. If it is not enough, I will naturally ask you for more!" Jiang Wanning said with a smile.

"Very good," Zhou Xun nodded and went straight to the training room.

Close the door of the training room and open the restriction.
Then Zhou Xun slapped his hand on his waist and took out a jade box, which contained the Thunder Centipede Inner Pill he had obtained from the Thunder Prison.

A fourth-level middle-grade demon pill with thunder attribute.
When the lid was opened, tiny arcs of lightning flashed in the air.

"Good baby!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and the inner elixir flew out automatically and flew into the gourd containing Danyuan wine.

Then he made a hand gesture and hit the gourd!
Next, all he has to do is wait a few years, and the demonic power in his inner elixir will slowly blend into the wine, transforming into pure spiritual energy to nourish his practice!
Even if there is only this inner elixir, this trip is worth it!

After doing all this, Zhou Xun took out a cushion and sat cross-legged.

Close your eyes slightly and start to meditate and regulate your breathing.
The biggest gain from this trip was the complete copy of "Purple Thunder Art".
This can condense 72 thunder seeds.

He originally only had thirty-six of them, but now the number has doubled, so his strength must have greatly increased.

Therefore, after finishing brewing the Danyuan wine, he couldn't wait to start refining it!
A few hours later, Zhou Xun opened his eyes again.
His eyes were calm at this moment, and his energy and spirit had reached the peak. Now was the best time to condense the thunder seed.
Then he opened his mouth slightly, and a square jade platform as crystal clear as purple jade flew out and hung in front of Zhou Xun, with arcs of lightning flashing around it.

This is exactly his natal magic weapon, Thunder Pool!
"disease!"

Zhou Xun formed a seal in his hand, and immediately a spiritual light struck the thunder pool in front of him, and a beating thunder arc was drawn out.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xun used a flash of consciousness and headed towards the beating lightning arc.

Then, Zhou Xun activated his spiritual consciousness to start refining the lightning arc according to the method recorded in "Purple Night Thunder Art".

As soon as his consciousness came into contact with the lightning arc, an explosion seemed to ring in his ears, which frightened Zhou Xun.

At the same time, there was a tingling sensation in his mind. This was a necessary process for condensing thunder seeds.

Zhou Xun endured the pain, the magic formula in his hand changed, and he continued to hit the lightning arc wrapped in divine consciousness.

Thunder Arc instantly became much quieter.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's consciousness took the opportunity to completely wrap it up and began to slowly refine it.

I do not know how long it has been.

This lightning arc became gentle, and at the same time shone with a spirituality, and there was also a very subtle connection coming from it.

This first step is finally completed.

However, this lightning arc is too weak, and it takes eighty-one strands to be condensed to be enough for one thunder seed.

So Zhou Xun continued his previous actions.

Because he had condensed thirty-six arcs before and had a lot of experience, he was able to practice all eighty-one spiritual lightning arcs in just nine days.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xun forced out nine drops of essence and blood, turned them into a blood talisman, and wrapped around the eighty-one spiritual lightning arcs.

It went very smoothly, and the lightning arc was all wrapped up.

At the same time, the magic formula in Zhou Xun's hand changed, and the auras struck the blood talisman.

When the lightning arc and the essence and blood merged into one, a thumb-sized round lightning seed floated in front of Zhou Xun. At this point, the thirty-seventh lightning seed was completed.

So Zhou Xun put it into the Thunder Pool to nourish it and continued to condense it.

It was not until a year later that his 72nd thunder seed was finally condensed!
