Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 628: The thunder seed is fully developed and its strength soars!
Zhenhai Fairy City Cave Mansion, reception room.

Zhou Xun sat in the main seat, Jiang Wanning accompanied him, while Chiwu Linggui and Feng Zhong sat at the bottom.

Today, Zhou Xun summoned them together.

It was to taste the gourd of freshly brewed Danyuan wine.

three years ago,
Zhou Xun went to the Thunder Prison with Xuan Lei Zhenjun and others to search for treasures, where he obtained a fourth-level middle-grade thunder attribute inner elixir.
After returning, he brewed it into Danyuan wine.

Today is the day when the Danyuan wine comes out of the cellar.

"Do you know why the lord summoned the two of us?" The Red Noon Spirit Turtle transmitted a message to Feng Zhong.

"No matter what, I will listen to my master's orders!" Feng Zhong said coldly, and then said no more.

Before this, he had suffered from the eloquence of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle several times, so he simply kept his mouth shut and refused to speak no matter what the Red Noon Spirit Turtle said.
This is the magic formula he figured out to deal with the Red Noon Spirit Turtle.

Seeing Feng Zhong like this, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle had no choice but to retreat in dismay, muttering, "This big cat doesn't know what's good for him!"

"You are all here. I called you here today because I have good news!" Zhou Xun smiled mysteriously.

"My lord, you always think of us whenever you have good things to do. I am truly grateful and don't know how to repay you!" The Red Noon Spirit Turtle showed a look of gratitude.

"You old turtle, you only know how to say nice things. I'll allow you to drink a few more sips later so that you can shut your mouth," Zhou Xun scolded with a smile.

"Hey, thank you for the reward, my lord!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle bowed with his hands clasped together, like an old scholar. This action, combined with the huge tortoise shell on his back, looked extremely funny.

Zhou Xun couldn't help laughing!

Seeing this, the old turtle showed off even more vigorously, and at the same time smiled at Fengzhong with a hint of complacency.

Feng Zhong could only look away and pretend he didn’t see it!
Zhou Xun naturally didn't care about the little tricks between the two monsters. He just walked into the training room.

He took out the gourd containing 100 jin of Danyuan wine and pointed at it, saying:
"This is why I called you here today. In the past, I was fortunate enough to obtain a fourth-level middle-grade demon beast inner core."

"Three years ago, it was specially brewed into Danyuan wine. Today is the perfect day. You are in for a treat!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and four wine glasses made of crystal jade appeared on the table.

With a flick of his finger, an invisible force opened the gourd mouth, and instantly an astonishing aroma of wine escaped and filled the entire reception room!

The aroma of the wine was rich and mellow, as if it had substance, flowing slowly in the air.

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle's eyes lit up instantly, and he stretched his neck, sniffing the tempting aroma, muttering:

"My Lord, this wine smells very pleasant, it is definitely not an ordinary wine. I am so lucky today."

Although Feng Zhong's face remained stern, his slightly flickering eyes revealed his inner expectations.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and slowly poured the Danyuan wine into four wine glasses.

The wine is as crystal clear as amber, rippling slightly in the glass, exuding a mysterious luster.

Jiang Wanning looked at the wine in the glass, curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Come on, everyone try it." Zhou Xun took the lead in picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.

"By the way, Wan Ning, your cultivation is still low, so just take a sip!" Zhou Xun did not forget to remind Jiang Wan Ning.

As the wine entered his throat, a warm current instantly spread from his throat to his whole body. Zhou Xun only felt a surge of spiritual power in his body, as if it was stimulated.

Then a stream of extremely pure spiritual energy rose up and poured into the meridians.
Zhou Xun immediately activated the "Purple Sky Thunder Art" to refine it, transforming it into strands of spiritual power that flowed into the Nascent Soul in its Dantian, making it look very satisfied.

"As expected of a fourth-level mid-grade lightning-attributed inner elixir, this effect is more than three times that of the previous pot!"

"If I put all my energy into seclusion, I might be able to reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage in thirty years!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed. The previous trip to the Thunder Prison was truly a correct decision.

"It seems that I should also start looking for the materials for the Deliverance Pill."

The Deliverance Pill is the best elixir for early Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the middle stage. Zhou Xun now has ambergris, one of the main ingredients of this pill.

Its other main ingredient is a fourth-grade intermediate-quality spiritual medicine called Duyuanshen.

At this time, Chiwu Linggui and Fengzhong also picked up their wine glasses and tasted the wine with intoxicated expressions.

At this time, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle glanced at Feng Zhong, and said with a grin, "Feng Zhong, you see, the master is very generous, sharing this fine wine with us. This is the master's generosity and wisdom, you should learn more from him, and don't always have a cold face, as if the world owes you something."

Feng Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice: "Old turtle, don't make a fuss. If you want to drink, just drink. Why talk too much?"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle chuckled and said, "Humph, you don't know how to appreciate the gift from your master. You should be grateful for such fine wine. It's inappropriate for you to be so indifferent."

A trace of anger flashed in Feng Zhong's eyes: "You old turtle, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle was not afraid at all, and raised his chin and said, "My master is here, what can you do? My master said that he would allow me to drink a few more sips, so you can only envy him."

Feng Zhong was speechless for a moment and could only glare at the Chiwu Spirit Turtle, but he was helpless.

Zhou Xun watched them bickering and felt helpless, yet also found it somewhat funny.

Jiang Wanning covered her mouth and chuckled. Ever since Feng Zhong broke through to the fourth level, the entire cave became lively.

After tasting the spiritual wine, Zhou Xun shared some with the two spiritual beasts and Jiang Wanning, and then returned to his daily secluded life.

Time flies, and another year has passed.

On this day, in the practice room,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, with a bright orange gourd in front of him, which was filled with Danyuan wine.

Every day when he practices, he drinks a small sip.

As a result, his cultivation progress this year was three times that of previous years.

After several hours, Zhou Xun retracted the spell and slowly opened his eyes.

"According to the time, it has been four years since I sacrificed and refined those thunder seeds, and today is the perfect day for them to be nurtured to perfection."

"Call him out for a look!"

Thinking, with mouth slightly open,
A total of seventy-two lightning bolts flew out.

As soon as the seventy-two lightning bolts appeared, they instantly illuminated the entire training room. Between the flashes of lightning, there was a faint roar of thunder, as if it contained endless destructive power.

Zhou Xun looked at the lightning with a serious gaze, and a strong sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

After four years of meticulous refining, these thunder seeds have now reached maturity, and each one contains astonishing power.

He raised his hand slightly, and a lightning seed fell on his palm. The lightning flickered, but did not cause any harm to him. Zhou Xun felt the powerful force contained in the lightning seed and felt extremely satisfied.

With this thunder seed, my strength will definitely reach a higher level." Zhou Xun thought to himself.

This formed his Zixiao True Thunder Formation and Tianyuan Sword Formation, and their power was greatly enhanced.

Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back his inner thoughts, so he called Chiwu Spirit Turtle and Feng Zhong, and went straight out of the east gate of Zhenhai Fairy City, rushing towards the east with all his strength. Three days later, Zhou Xun arrived at an uninhabited sea area.
This place is more than 100,000 miles away from the Immortal City. It is absolutely safe and secretive!
Zhou Xun stood opposite Chiwu Linggui and Feng Zhong.

"Next, you two will resist my attack with all your strength!"

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other. How could they not know that Zhou Xun brought them out to test the power of his new magical power.

Looking at the Demon King Ling Zun opposite him, Zhou Xun thought for a moment, then slapped the Blood Demon Bag again.

Instantly, five streaks of blood flew out, transforming into five blood demons, and then performed a conjoined magic formula.

Transformed into a blood demon general!

"You two are teaming up with me, the Blood Demon General. Remember not to let him win!" Zhou Xun said,
He was really worried that the two monsters didn't dare to use their full strength, so he wouldn't be able to test out the power of his new magical power.

"We will follow the master's orders!" The two demons promised one after another, but they decided in their hearts that they should stop at the right time and not let the master lose face.

The two sides stood firm.

Zhou Xun opened his mouth slightly
With a slight opening, seventy-two thunder seeds came out one after another, occupying a space of several thousand feet in an instant, covering Zhou Xun, Feng Zhong and others.

"It must be said that the range covered by these 72 thunder species has indeed increased a lot, by at least 50%!" Zhou Xun thought to himself.
Then, put your hands together and point forward.
In an instant, the space covered by the thunder seeds instantly turned into a thunder domain. Lightning bolts as thick as buckets kept falling and hit the direction where the Red Noon Demon King and others were.

The two demons originally planned to let the water go.
Suddenly sensing the might of the thunder and lightning, his face changed drastically, and he quickly increased his demonic power to increase the power of his protective light shield.
But it's too late,
"Boom!"

Streaks of lightning streaked across space, bringing with them bursts of thunder, and then struck the protective light shields set up by the two monsters.

I took on the first dozen or so smoothly.
But then——

"Card wipe!"

Lightning flashed one after another, and within a few breaths, the two demon light shields were instantly shattered. Then,

The lightning fell on their bodies!

The two demons were struck by lightning and immediately screamed in agony, secretly groaning in their hearts.
Zhou Xun was well aware of this, and he wanted to make the two monsters suffer a lesson to see if they dared to go against his words.

The shell of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle was shining, trying to resist the erosion of lightning, but the power of lightning was too strong, and the light on the shell gradually dimmed.

When Feng Zhong was exhausted, all the hair on his body stood up and electric arcs ran rampant on his body, causing him unbearable pain.

The blood demon general was not spared either. Under the attack of thunder and lightning, blood light kept flashing and his figure became somewhat illusory.

At this time, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle hurriedly shouted: "Master, spare my life! I really can't bear it anymore, this thunder and lightning is too terrible!"

Although Feng Zhong was usually stern, he couldn't help but say at this moment: "Master, the power of this thunder and lightning is really hard to resist!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand, and the lightning in the sky disappeared instantly, and the clear sky appeared again.

"Even a fourth-order lower-grade demon beast can hardly resist it. It seems that each of these lightning bolts is comparable to the attack of a cultivator in the late Jindan stage!"

Zhou Xun was surprised.

These are hundreds of lightning bolts!
"It seems that my strength has improved a lot!"

For him, the best opponent is the Thousand Crab Demon King, but unfortunately it is not under his control!

Then, Zhou Xun waved his hand, and a jade cup that was entirely jasper-colored appeared in his hand!

It was the treasure that sealed the space - the Green Jade Cup.

Throwing it into the air, the jade cup swelled in the wind, and in a moment it became several dozen feet in size, hanging high in the sky.
It emits a faint green light, covering an area of ​​several thousand feet, sealing off the entire space here!
Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction, then made a gesture with both hands and pointed at himself.
Then, an illusory force descended around his body.
He suddenly disappeared from where he was and appeared more than ten feet away.

"Teleport!"

Feeling this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

Previously, under the ban of the Qingyu Lamp, even in the Purple Sky True Thunder Formation, his ability to teleport was completely banned.
Now, he could use the teleportation technique again, even though the distance was only a dozen feet.
But it also means that the power of this secret technique has been increased to an incredible level.

"It seems that my guess is correct. The ability of this green jade cup to seal the void is also limited. A Yuanying cultivator cannot get rid of it. Once he reaches the Shenhua stage, I'm afraid it will be useless!"

Afterwards, Zhou Xun tested the Tianyuan Sword Formation again, and its power increased greatly. Two fourth-level spirit beasts were easily taken down.

Instead, the true power of this method has not been tested.

"It seems that we can only test the true power of this method in the future battlefield of the final battle between humans and demons!"

After returning home, Zhou Xun's life became peaceful again.
In addition to practicing every day, he also trained his body. The art of alchemy had been delayed due to lack of materials.
Occasionally, one or two fellow practitioners would come to him and ask him to customize talismans for them, which made him a lot of money.

In this way, another half a year passed.

On this day, Zhou Xun was tending to the swallowtail butterfly, and Jiang Wanning stood behind him, massaging his shoulders.

Suddenly, a sound transmission note flew in from outside, hovering over the forbidden area and moving around.

"It looks like someone is here." Zhou Xun smiled at Jiang Wanning.
With a flick of his finger, a flash of light flew out and hit the sound transmission talisman.
Instantly, a clear male voice was heard.

"Wang Lingfeng is here to visit Senior Zhou on the orders of his master!"

"Why is he here!"

This person is none other than Master Qianchuan’s disciple, Master Huadu Wang Lingfeng.

"I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Qianchuan has something to tell me. Wan Ning, please bring him in!"

"Yes!" Jiang Wanning walked away.

After a while, a handsome young man in his twenties followed Jiang Wanning in.
As soon as he saw Zhou Xun, the young man bowed to the ground and performed a great salute.

"I have seen the true king!"

"When did young friend Wang advance to the later stage? This is cause for celebration!" Zhou Xun said in surprise.

The last time I saw him, he was only in the middle stage of Jindan. I didn't expect that after several decades, he has also advanced to the late stage.

Judging from his bone age, he seems to be only about 300 years old. If he takes some longevity pills, he can live at least 200 years.

By this calculation, he still has a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"I had a lucky breakthrough more than ten years ago!" Wang Lingfeng replied.

"Yes," Zhou Xun nodded and asked about his purpose:
"But Master Qianchuan has something to tell you, so why did he ask you to come here in person to tell him?"

When Wang Lingfeng heard Zhou Xun speak, he immediately sat up straight and replied respectfully:

"I don't know what Master wants, he just asked me to invite you to Zhenhai Palace!"

"Brother Qianchuan invited me, I have to go!"

Then he said a few words to Jiang Wanning, and went out with Wang Lingfeng.
Soon, we arrived at the Zhenhai Palace, where Master Qianchuan came to greet us personally.

"Brother Dao, what's the important matter?" Zhou Xun asked doubtfully.

"It's not a big deal. It's just that every Nascent Soul cultivator in my Immortal City has the task of patrolling the sea area. This time it just happens to be your turn!"
