Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 631: The Current Situation of Lake Heart Island, Goodbye to Master Tieshan
Just a few days before everyone was about to arrive at Tianfu Island,
East Desert, Wangchuan Lake.

Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying were sitting in the Jingxin Pavilion, like a pair of immortal lovers, sipping spiritual tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Wangchuan Lake is like a shining pearl, inlaid between towering mountains. The lake water ripples like a huge mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

In the pavilion, Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying sat opposite each other. Their figures looked particularly harmonious under the sunlight.

Ever since she broke through the Jindan stage, she left the Yunguang Sect and came to live in Wangchuan Lake.

It just so happened that Lin Yiqing stayed in the Yuling Sect to practice at this time, so Lin Xueying came here to take care of his daily life.

"My husband's spiritual plant is indeed extremely mysterious. In just a hundred years, this spiritual mist tea has been promoted to the fourth-level lower grade!"

Lin Xueying's voice was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, and her eyes were full of amazement.

"Even the Pure Heart Lotus is not far from the fourth level!"

When Lin Xueying first arrived at the lake island, she thought she had come to the wrong place. There were exotic flowers and plants everywhere on the island, most of which were above the third-level middle grade.
What surprised him even more was that the Lingwu tea had reached the fourth level.
You know, her Lin family is a master of spiritual plants with many years of tradition.

In fact, Zhou Xun's own spiritual plant skills are only at the second level. The reason why he can achieve such an achievement is all due to his Ningchun Sutra.

He discovered that these spiritual medicines, cultivated with the essence of spiritual plants, could improve extremely quickly.

It seemed that even the original racial shackles had disappeared.

After all, whether it was the Spiritual Mist Tea or the Meditation Lotus, they were originally just common first-class spiritual plants.
After being promoted to the third level, it showed unusual effects, which were more mysterious than those famous high-level elixirs.

“Growing flowers and plants is nothing more than a way to cultivate your sentiments during your spare time!” Zhou Xun smiled slightly, like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm.

The two chatted for a long time. Zhou Xun calculated the time and realized it was almost time to leave, so he stood up and spoke to the beauty beside him:
"Xueying, your husband has something to do and needs to go out for a while. He will be back in about a month. I will leave this Wangchuan Lake to you now!"

At this time, Zhou Xun's incarnation was not far from Tianfu Island. This time, Zhou Xun left to get the "Fire Cloud Mushroom" that had been nurtured to the fourth-grade top grade to improve his own spiritual root qualifications.

As for the "Chiling Baozhi", it will take more than ten years to nurture it.

Now that his spiritual root aptitude was over ninety, he felt that his cultivation was getting faster and faster, and a qualitative change seemed to be taking place in his body.
He had a vague guess that only after he raised his spiritual roots to one hundred would this qualitative change reveal its true effect!
"With my current cultivation and status, it shouldn't be too difficult to obtain 4th-grade or higher spiritual medicines. Add in the time it takes for the spiritual medicines to be nurtured and improved, and I think I'll be able to see results within a hundred years!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and flew into the air. The next moment, he appeared above Wangchuan Lake and flew at full speed towards the direction of Tianyu Gate.

After seven full days, he finally arrived at Tianyu Gate.

"It would be great if I could learn how to set up the teleportation array!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the teleportation array between the major immortal cities in Zhongzhou, which had greatly facilitated many cultivators.

At his current speed, it would take a long time to fly back and forth in the Eastern Wilderness.

Especially when going to Tianhan City, it often takes more than two months to go there and back.

"Why doesn't Lord Tianxing set up some teleportation arrays in my Eastern Wilderness!" Zhou Xun sighed.

After entering Tianyu Sect, Zhou Xun did not notify anyone and went straight to the sect's secret vault.

With the help of the space vortex in the secret library, he arrived at the Tianxuan Secret Realm.

At this time, the secret realm has been jointly controlled by the three major forces. However, the people with the highest cultivation level inside are only some Jindan cultivators. With his current strength, they cannot find Zhou Xun.

After a brief investigation, he found that the magic circle on Tianxuan Mountain had not been broken, and then he nodded with satisfaction.

He then passed through the space vortex of the Tianxuan Secret Realm and arrived at the South China Sea.

After carefully checking the magic circle he had set up, he found no signs of it being tampered with, so he felt relieved.

He set up a beam of light and rushed towards the direction of the ringless island.

South China Sea, no islands,

"Brother Zhou's Tianji Cave is indeed mysterious and extraordinary!"

Master Tieshan looked around carefully and could not help but praise it highly. He had read about this Tianji Cave Mansion in ancient books before.
Each one is extremely difficult to make and is priceless.

The materials used to make it alone are enough to create several top-grade magical weapons.

This treasure combined with the Earth Yuan Beast will allow one to practice even when traveling.

"Hahaha, I'm just lucky. I got this treasure by chance." Zhou Xun said modestly, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

It was only during this outing that the value of this cave was revealed.

It is just like not leaving Zhenhai Fairy City. As long as some spirit stones are installed, the fourth-level spiritual energy concentration can be simulated.

It did not delay his practice at all.

"Since you are on my island, I will do my best to be a good host."

Master Tieshan invited with a smile.

"Of course, Brother Dao, don't be reluctant to take out your treasured wine!"

Zhou Xun smiled.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I have plenty of wine. I'm just worried that you can't drink enough and will fall down early!"

While chatting and laughing, they had already arrived above the ringless island.

Then Zhou Xun and Master Tieshan came out of the Tianji Cave and took it away.

"This is Master Tieshan who is in charge of Wuhuan Island!" Zhou Xun introduced to his subordinates behind him.

"Greetings to Master Tieshan!"

A group of Jindan cultivators bowed in greeting.

"I see that these people have full spiritual energy and vitality, but they look very young."

"Where did you get so many potential subordinates from?"

When True Lord Tieshan took a look, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

"It's just those old guys in the Immortal City who stuffed them in!" Zhou Xun shook his head, looking a little helpless.

"It seems that my brother has a high status in the fairy city!" said Master Tieshan in surprise.

He guessed that Zhou Xun must be very successful in Zhenhai Immortal City, otherwise he would not have been recognized by so many cultivators of the same level.

If he wasn't very strong and was sure he could lead his disciples well, who would be willing to put so many people under his command?

You know, this is a patrol of the entire South China Sea, which is not so safe.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said, "Brother Dao, you are too kind. It is just a coincidence. There are many things to deal with in the Immortal City. It is not easy."

Master Tieshan laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, there is no need to be modest. To be valued by those old guys in the Immortal City, you must have something extraordinary. Let's go to the island first. I have asked someone to prepare a banquet. I must drink with Brother Zhou today."

The two of them went straight to the cave of Master Tiesha.
As for Zhou Xun's subordinates, they were naturally entertained by the Jindan cultivators from Wuhuan Island.

When I arrived at the reception room, there was indeed a table set up there, filled with all kinds of delicacies, spiritual food, spiritual wine and spiritual fruits.

The lowest level is the third-grade upper grade, which is extremely rare.

If the monks outside saw this, they would be extremely jealous.

"Come on, brother, please!"

Master Tieshan personally helped Zhou Xun pull out the chair.
Zhou Xun did not hesitate and sat down directly. Feng Zhong stood beside Zhou Xun.
Responsible for adding wine and serving food to the two of them.

"It's been many years since we last met. Feng Zhong has also been promoted to the Demon King realm. You must have two Demon Kings under your command now, right?" "Looking at the entire Central Continent, there aren't many of them!"

"I've been waiting so long!"

Looking at the loyal earth beast Feng Zhong, Master Tieshan couldn't help but feel emotional and showed a hint of envy.

The Earth Beast is extremely fast and has an extremely handsome appearance, making it a first-rate choice as a mount.

Now that he has achieved the fourth level, he can transform into a human form on weekdays, and can do some house cleaning and take care of spiritual herbs and medicines without any problem.
Even if you encounter an enemy, it can serve as a powerful helper.

Who wouldn’t want a spiritual beast like this?

"Hahaha, if you're interested, I have a method for taming beasts that I can pass on to you!"

Zhou Xun said nonchalantly.

Anyway, the "Yuling Sutra" in his hand is the inheritance of Yuling Sect, so he naturally doesn't feel bad about giving it away.

"Forget it, forget it. I have already spent a lot of energy studying this weapon refining technique. I really can't be distracted by this beast taming technique anymore!"

Master Tieshan waved his hand. He was just sighing. If he were really asked to tam the beast, he would not be happy.

Besides, it is not easy to find a spiritual beast with excellent talent and loyalty.

Unless he forced a fourth-level demon king to submit like Zhou Xun did, but his strength was mediocre, so he naturally couldn't do such a thing.
If he started to cultivate from a low level, not to mention the time and resources consumed, the 90% chance of dying in the light-transforming thunder tribulation would also make him discouraged.

Not everyone is as lucky as Zhou Xun.

Then the two of them talked about the current situation.

"The situation in the South China Sea is unpredictable right now. Although the human and demon races have temporarily stopped fighting, I think there will definitely be a war between the two races!"

Master Tieshan said with some worry.

"I think so too. The conflict between the two races has accumulated for thousands of years. Neither side will be willing to give up unless there is a real war!"

Zhou Xun nodded and continued to ask:

"I wonder how your ringless island has been doing in recent years, brother?"

"We are in a remote location. Since the monster shark attacked us, no fourth-level monsters have appeared here. Occasionally, there are some third-level monsters, but Xu Ziling and Lan Yanping can handle them."

"There's no need for me to show up at all!"

"Speaking of which, these past few decades have been extremely peaceful!"

Master Tieshan thought for a moment and replied.

"Zhenhai Fairy City is located in the center of the confrontation between humans and demons. I can clearly feel that after a few decades of cessation of hostilities, the two races are beginning to stir again."

"Brother Dao is here alone, so you should make more preparations!"

Zhou Xun warned.

After chatting about business for a while, Zhou Xun completed his mission as a patrol envoy.

"By the way, before coming here, I met Brother Tianci, and he has two things for you."

"A letter and a fourth-level fire-attributed demon beast's inner core!"

As he spoke, he took out the jade slip and the demon pill and placed them on the stone table where the two middle-aged men were.

Upon hearing this, Master Tieshan was delighted and immediately opened the jade box containing the inner elixir.

The moment it was exposed, the temperature of the entire reception room instantly rose several degrees.

This shows how abundant his fire spiritual power is.

"It really is it. Thank you for making this trip. With this inner elixir, I can brew some Danyuan wine again."

"It's a pity that it will take several years for it to be fully formed, otherwise I could let my brother take some with him!"

"I still have a lot of Danyuan wine, thank you for your kindness, brother!"

"There is one more thing that I need your help with!" Zhou Xun said, opening his mouth.

A pair of palm-sized, purple, crystal-like wings flew out.

Arcs of lightning flashed all around.

"This is the flying magic weapon, Thunder Wings, that I refined!"

"This treasure is only at the middle level now. Although its speed is still extremely fast, it can only be considered average among Nascent Soul cultivators. I wonder if you have a way to upgrade it to a higher level!"

This is also one of the purposes of Zhou Xun's visit.

There are also fourth-level weapon refiners in Zhenhai Immortal City, and there are even fourth-level mid-grade ones.

But the Thunder Wings are almost equivalent to half of the life magic weapon, which can be stored in the body for nourishment.

Of course, you need a trustworthy weapon refiner.

Therefore, Master Tieshan is the best candidate.

"Let me see!"

As Master Tieshan spoke, he pinched his fingers and pointed at the Thunder Wings. Instantly, an arc of lightning struck back.

Then he began to investigate carefully.

After a moment, Master Tieshan retracted his spell and frowned slightly, saying, "Brother Zhou, your Thunder Wings are extremely exquisitely refined. It will be difficult to upgrade them to a higher level."

Zhou Xun looked solemn and asked, "Brother, please tell me what materials you need and how confident you are?"

"If it really doesn't work, I can only slowly nurture it and wait for it to improve on its own!"

The refining method of the Thunder Wings is special, so it can be upgraded just like the natal magic weapon.
But this is a very long time,
According to Zhou Xun's estimation, it would take at least four hundred years to raise it to the highest grade through cultivation.

For ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, perhaps they can wait a little longer.
But for someone with Zhou Xun's extraordinary talent, it is nothing but chicken ribs.

Four hundred years is enough time for him to practice Qi training to Nascent Soul stage several times.

Master Tieshan pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to upgrade this Thunder Wing to the level of a top-grade magic weapon, I have two options."

"The first and simplest method is to find the wings of a fourth-level thunder-attributed demon bird and refine them into it. Then it can be successfully upgraded to the highest grade."

"This method will not only not destroy its original structure, but will increase its potential, which is the best method."

"The second method is to use fourth-order lightning-attribute materials to forcibly improve it. The advantage of this method is that the materials are easier to find, and after refining, it can immediately reach the top grade."

"The disadvantage is that the quality of the product is what it is, and there is no room for improvement unless it is re-refined!"

"Thank you, Brother Dao!" Zhou Xun nodded. After thinking it over, he decided to adopt the first option.

Hundreds of demon kings from the South Sea demon clan gathered here. He believed that there must be thunder-attributed demon birds among them.
After returning to Zhenhai Fairy City, he asked someone to inquire for him.

The two then chatted about some topics related to cultivation until late at night.

In the next few days, no one set out.

As for Zhou Xun, he had already quietly left the Ringless Island and went to meet the original body.
