Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 627 The spiritual treasure returns to its original owner and is promoted to a fourth-level alchemist!
"Feng Zhong greets the master!" A sincere voice sounded.

A middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a yellow shirt and with a resolute face, walked towards Zhou Xun.

He has two tiger-like ears on his head, but other than that, he looks no different from a normal person.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master. Otherwise, Feng Zhong wouldn't be here today!"

Feng Zhong came before Zhou Xun and bowed down!

For him, being able to advance to the third-level upper grade was already the fulfillment of his lifelong wish, and now he has become a fourth-level demon king.

How could he not be grateful to Zhou Xun?

"Hahaha, you have been my disciple for many years, no need to be polite!" Zhou Xun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Feng Zhong, congratulations on your successful promotion to the fourth level!" The Scarlet Noon Spirit Turtle looked at the middle-aged man with some complexity.

Originally, he did not consider the Earth Beast as an opponent.

Only a small number of the third-level peak monsters can finally advance.
Unexpectedly, he not only successfully advanced, but also awakened his immortal body, and his strength surpassed his own.

"My Lord, you won't think of killing me to get the elixir again!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle knew that its master had coveted the inner elixir in its body more than once.

"No, I have to find a chance to offer one or two more treasures!"

"Fellow Daoist Chiwu, you are joking. When my master was away, you took my place for many years. You must have worked hard. I will treat you to a drink as a token of my appreciation if I have the chance!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle's eyes flickered, and he glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, feeling angry:
"As expected, as soon as I broke through, I came to take my place!"

So he waved his hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you are joking. It is a great honor for us to carry our master on his back. How can it be said to be hard work? I am naturally enjoying it."

"If you feel it's hard, just focus on your cultivation in the future. With your aptitude, you still have a lot of room for growth in the future."

"And Chi's potential has been exhausted, and his training is in vain. It's just right for me to serve the master wholeheartedly!"

Feng Zhong paused when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel choked up with anger. In terms of eloquence, he was still several levels behind this old turtle!

He immediately bowed to Zhou Xun:
"That's not what I meant!"

Zhou Xun was also amused when he saw this. He had never thought that the two spirit beasts under his command would actually resort to palace fighting tactics.

Psychologically, Zhou Xun was still used to riding the Earth Element Beast. After all, it had been with him for many years, and Zhou Xun was used to it. It was also very fast.

Although the Red Noon Spirit Turtle has joined the group for a short time, he is very good at dealing with people and his words are pleasing to others.

In terms of ability, his fire escape technique is also quite good, which really makes it difficult to choose.

"Well, both of you are my generals, so you should get along well with each other!"

Zhou Xun finally did not intend to interfere in the open and secret fights between the two monsters. After all, with him here, they would not go too far and could limit themselves to a certain range.

As soon as Zhou Xun finished speaking, Feng Zhong and Chi Wu Linggui both responded respectfully. However, they each had their own plans in mind.

Feng Zhong thought to himself, "This old bastard is good at flattering others. I must not let him get the upper hand all the time. Although the master still remembers our old friendship, I need to work harder to perform and consolidate my position in the master's heart."

Thinking of this, Feng Zhong's eyes became more determined, and he already had a plan for the next step in his mind. As long as his strength continued to improve, this old turtle would be defeated by him one day.

The Scarlet Noon Spirit Turtle was also thinking: "This stupid beast has become much stronger now, and it should not be underestimated. I need to be more careful in dealing with it, and not let him take away my advantage easily. Although the master is not partial to me, I have to find a way to make the master rely on me more."

When he thought of this, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the face of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle.

In the days that followed, although Feng Zhong and the Chiwu Spirit Turtle maintained harmony on the surface, their secret competition never stopped.

Zhenhai Palace,

After Zhou Xun saw Feng Zhong’s transformed form, he came here.

He came here for two things.
The first is to express gratitude to Master Qianchuan.
When the Earthly Beast was attacking the fourth level of the Demon King, Master Qianchuan activated the city defense formation of Zhenhai New City.
Gathering the spiritual energy of the entire fairy city into his cave,

It can be said that the successful breakthrough of the Earthly Beast was also due to the contribution of Master Qianchuan.
It's reasonable to come here.

The second thing is to redeem the top-grade magic weapon "Soul Locking Ring" that he had mortgaged here.

This item is a treasure recorded in the Yuling Sutra. It can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai.
With one blow, it is as if thousands of mountains are attacking. Even a fourth-level monster will find it difficult to withstand it!
More importantly, this treasure can trap enemies and is even more effective against monsters. It is definitely the best among the top-grade magic weapons!
He still remembered the powerful feeling of oppression when he faced this treasure that day, which made him feel suffocated.

Of course, for Zhou Xun, what matters most is the ability of this treasure to trap the enemy!

He has no shortage of weapons for attack.
Whether it is the Junmang Thunder Spear or the Xuanting Thunder Sword, they are both sharp weapons for killing!
The only treasure that can trap the enemy is this one.

Of course, we can't let him stay out for too long.

It just so happened that Zhou Xun had gained a lot from this trip to the Thunder Prison, and with the remaining top-grade spirit stones, it should not be difficult to redeem this treasure.

Zhou Xun waited for only a moment before he saw Master Qianchuan coming out to greet him. As soon as he saw Zhou Xun, he greeted him cheerfully:

"Congratulations, brother, you got a fourth-level spirit beast. I've been waiting so long for you!"

"Brother Dao, you are joking. I came here to express my gratitude to you. If you hadn't mobilized the spiritual energy of the entire city to infuse it, I'm afraid my spirit beast would not be able to survive the nine thunder tribulations."

"I will always remember your kindness, brother!" Zhou Xun said sincerely.
Master Qianchuan laughed and waved his hand:
"Brother, you are too kind. It's just a small favor. Not to mention the friendship between you and me, it's a great blessing for Zhenhai New City to have another fourth-level demon king to rule it."

"Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should catch up. Please come in!"

He made a gesture of invitation,
Soon, the two of them came to the reception room in the side hall and sat down. They talked for a while with some spiritual wine and fruits.

After having enough wine and food, Zhou Xun said with a serious expression:

"Brother Daoist, I have another reason to come here. I want to redeem the top-grade magic weapon 'Soul Locking Ring' that I had pledged here."

Master Qianchuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I guessed that you would come here for this. The 'Soul Locking Ring' is indeed a rare treasure. Since you have enough spirit stones now, it is naturally the best."

After saying that, he put his hand on his waist.
A flash of spiritual light appeared, and it turned into a three-inch-sized, dark blue ring with two ancient Chinese characters "Locking the Soul" engraved on it.

"By the way, I only have ten top-grade spirit stones left. How about using Thunder Yuan Purple Gold to make up the rest?"

As Zhou Xun said this, he waved his hand, and a piece of gold the size of a pigeon egg, completely purple in color, appeared on the table.

"It seems that my brother has gained a lot from this trip!" Qianchuan Zhenjun smiled slightly, picked up the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold, and examined it carefully.

After a moment, True Lord Qianchuan nodded slightly and said: "This Thunder Yuan Purple Gold is of excellent quality. It is indeed a rare good material, which can be equivalent to many top-grade spirit stones. In this case, this 'Soul Locking Ring' will be returned to its original owner." After that, he handed the three-inch ring to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun took the Soul Locking Ring and was overjoyed. He thanked Master Qianchuan again: "Thank you for your help, Brother Dao. I will definitely remember this friendship."

Master Qianchuan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so polite between you and me. If you need anything in the future, feel free to come find me."

Zhou Xun talked with Master Qianchuan for a while, then stood up, said goodbye, and left the Zhenhai Hall.

After returning to the cave, Zhou Xun's life became peaceful again.

In addition to practicing every day, he also studied the various arts of cultivation. The art of talismans has been promoted to the fourth level, but without the fourth-level talisman paper, it can only be put aside temporarily.

The Way of Formation and the Way of Puppetry have been stagnant at the peak of the third level due to the limitation of inheritance.
The only way was alchemy. He had once obtained the relics of Dan Yuan Zhenjun from the Black Island Demon King. In them was his alchemy inheritance, which was as high as the fourth-level middle grade.

Zhou Xun's main focus now is on the art of alchemy.

In the training room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

He picked up the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a big sip, then closed his eyes and began to refine it.

The wine entered the stomach and instantly turned into pure spiritual energy, passing through the abdomen and into the meridians.

Zhou Xun then activated the "Purple Thunder Art" to control the spiritual energy to circulate throughout the whole body.
It is eventually refined into magic power and integrated into the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

After refining all of this spiritual energy,
Zhou Xun opened his eyes and slightly opened his mouth. A two-inch-sized jade platform with amethyst color flew out.
It was his natal magic weapon, the Thunder Pool.

Now the newly refined thunder seed is wandering in it, constantly absorbing the power of thunder element and increasing its own power.

Zhou Xun made hand gestures and pointed at the thunder pool in front of him, drawing out a lightning arc.
It penetrated into his body, causing him to be startled and half of his body to go numb.
The whole body showed a light purple color.

This is exactly the secret body refining technique in Zixiao Thunder Technique - the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique!

Now his body refining technique has reached the tenth level, which is no less powerful than those fourth-level low-grade monsters that are good at physical strength.
Using his own lightning power to temper his body, the effect became extremely subtle.
Only the lightning in the thunder pool that has been promoted to the highest level can have a very high tempering effect on him.

Even though he has gone through this process countless times,
At the same time, he had also controlled the lightning arc to the finest degree, but the lightning passing through and burning his flesh and bone marrow, and then under the nourishment of the spiritual power of the Body Refining Technique, the process of continuous rebirth was still extremely difficult to endure.

In this process of constant death and rebirth, Zhou Xun's body is slowly getting stronger.

Half a day later, Zhou Xun finished his practice.

Daily physical training is completed.

Then he took out the life magic weapon of Dan Yuan Zhenjun, the top-grade magic furnace, and several third-grade top-grade spiritual herbs.
Wave your hand!
Wow!
A stream of infant fire instantly ignited and enveloped the alchemy furnace.

Immediately afterwards, each elixir flew into the alchemy furnace and began to be refined, and then the refined medicinal liquid was integrated into one,
The elixir of enlightenment!

A few hours later, a medicinal fragrance filled the entire training room, and then the alchemy furnace opened, and six milky white pills fell into Zhou Xun's palm.

There were three-grade, top-quality Huiyuan Pills, two of which were richer in content, and a feeling of completeness came from them.

"These are two high-quality Huiyuan Pills."

Zhou Xun was delighted.
You know, these two pills were directly refined, not purified from the essence of spiritual medicine.

This means that Zhou Xunchu's attainment in alchemy has reached the pinnacle of the third level.
It has reached the fourth level.

"It seems that it is time to try to refine the fourth-level elixir!"

One month later, in the training room!
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged. Today he was going to try to break through and become a fourth-level alchemist!

In the previous month, he had already refined the fourth-level Qi-recovering pill.

He had refined Qi-recovering pills countless times, starting from the first-order low-grade ones all the way up to the third-order high-grade ones. He was extremely skilled at it and knew every step by heart.

This fourth-level Qi-recovering pill was his first time trying it.

However, it is of the same origin as the low-level Qi Restoration Pill, but there are some differences in the refining techniques and main materials.

Therefore, for Zhou Xun today, the difficulty of refining this elixir is relatively low, and it is suitable for breakthrough.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.
After a long time, he opened his eyes again, and his eyes were like a calm lake, without any ripples.

Adjust your spirit, energy and energy to the best state.

without hesitation,

He slapped his hand on the storage bag, and several rays of light flew out and landed on the ground:

A small tripod with a simple shape and a dark blue color all over, it is the top-grade alchemy furnace "Danyuan Ding"

There are more than ten kinds of spiritual medicines, and the ones in the middle are particularly eye-catching. They are the fourth-level lower-grade Huiling Xuanshen!

As soon as he opened his mouth, a stream of fire ignited out of thin air, enveloping the furnace.

At this time, Zhou Xun was not in a hurry to refine the elixir. This step was to warm the furnace.

Sensing the state of the alchemy furnace, after a while, Zhou Xun thought, and the flame instantly became much smaller.

Then he waved his finger, and the furnace lid opened automatically. At the same time, the dozen or so spiritual herbs in front of him all flew into the air, one after another, and fell into the furnace wherever they went.

He was already very familiar with the refining method of the Qi Recovery Pill, and he had simulated it countless times in his mind before refining it.

So soon, all the elixirs were processed and successfully turned into liquid medicine.

Next comes the integration.

This step is extremely dangerous.

If you are not careful, the medicine will be damaged and all the materials will be destroyed, which means the loss of millions of spirit stones!
Zhou Xun formed seals with his hands and hit the magic formula on the alchemy furnace.

Under the effect of the magic formula, more than ten different medicinal liquids merged together seamlessly.

A faint medicinal fragrance began to emit.

Seeing the changes in Zhou Xunfa's formula,
A strange force split the liquid into three parts, and then under the influence of the spiritual fire, it slowly solidified into the prototype of the elixir.

With his current skills, it was still a bit difficult for him to refine a fourth-level pill, so it was safer to divide it into two parts.
Over time,
An astonishing medicinal fragrance emanated from the alchemy furnace and filled the entire practice room.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xun was shocked.

Because all the mana consumed in refining the elixir seemed to have been restored.

It is worthy of being a fourth-level recovery pill, the effect is indeed remarkable.

At this point, there is basically no problem with refining.

However, Zhou Xun did not relax at all, and fired the last pill-condensing technique.

The elixir was successfully formed.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly!
"Refining successful!"

With a wave of his sleeves, the furnace lid opened automatically, and two white pills flew out and landed in Zhou Xun's palm.

"Clap"

A soft sound,
A thin crack opened in the middle of one pill, and the color dimmed a bit instantly.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have made a pill. Fortunately, it is genuine. So I can say that I have successfully refined it!"

At this point, Zhou Xun officially became a fourth-level lower-grade alchemist.
