Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 636 Set off and return to the treasure land!
Zhou Xun stood up and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, thank you for today. I have something important to attend to, so I won't bother you any more."

True Lord Yuangu also stood up and returned the greeting: "You are too polite, Brother Zhou. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me." Zhou Xun nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the cave gate.

After going out the door, he quickly left the place.

During the journey, Zhou Xun never let down his guard. He secretly pondered the behavior of Yuangu Zhenjun and always felt that there was something strange about it.

But for a moment, I couldn't figure out the reason, so I had to put the matter aside for the time being.

In the cave of True Lord Yuangu, True Lord Fengyan also walked out of the training room.

"Why don't you just capture Zhou Xun and snatch the Phoenix Butterfly directly?" asked Master Fengyan in confusion.

Yuan Gu Zhenjun smiled slightly and said, "After all, Zhou Xun is a Yuanying cultivator, and he is very popular. If we act rashly, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, my goal is not just to attract this swallowtail butterfly."

Fengyan Zhenjun asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Yuan Gu Zhenjun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "You will know when the time comes. Okay, you should go back quickly. Don't come here on weekdays, so as not to reveal the relationship between you and me!"

"Yes!" Master Fengyan did not dare to ask any more questions and just stepped back and left!
After returning to his mansion, Zhou Xun immediately activated the mansion's protective formation.

He sat in the training room and took out the forbidden talisman.
Stretch out your spiritual consciousness and carefully explore every place where it exists.
However, to his surprise, no problems were found.

Then, Zhou Xun took out his small compass, made a hand gesture, and pointed at the forbidden-breaking talisman.
Still no findings!

"Could it be that Yuan Gu Zhenjun has no other thoughts?"

After all, even his divination skills didn't reveal any problems.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it!" Zhou Xun was relieved.

After confirming that there was no problem with the forbidden talisman, he began to organize his magic weapons and elixirs. Next, he planned to go to the cave of Tianxing Zhenjun to obtain the inheritance.

By then, we can build a teleportation network like the one in Central China in the Eastern Wilderness, connecting Tianhan City, Tianyu Gate, and Wangchuan Lake.

At the same time, the spiritual vein master's inheritance can also help him upgrade the Wangchuan Lake spiritual vein to the fourth level.

In this way, the main body can continue to stay in the Eastern Wilderness.

living room,
"Master, you are looking for me!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle bowed respectfully.

During the time he stayed in the fairy city, the old turtle guarded the gate diligently. Besides work, he spent all his time studying the art of alchemy.

"I heard that you can already refine third-grade inferior elixirs!" Zhou Xun asked.

"Thanks to the master, I was lucky enough to refine the Condensation Pill two months ago and finally became a third-level lower-grade alchemist."

"But compared to the master, my little achievement is nothing, it's just the difference between a firefly and the bright moon!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle replied respectfully.

Now he felt that his master was becoming more and more unfathomable.
With his current cultivation, when he faced Zhou Xun, he felt like he was facing a huge, towering tree! If he had ever thought of escaping before,
At this point, he was completely impressed.

"You are really good at talking!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
"Tell me, did you encounter any difficulties when refining the elixir? Feel free to tell me, I happen to have time to answer some of them for you!"

Zhou Xun is now a fourth-rank lower-grade alchemist, so it is natural for him to guide the Red Noon Spirit Turtle.

Chi Wu was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Thank you, Master!"

He then told him all his confusions about alchemy.

Zhou Xun was also very patient in giving him guidance.

It lasted for nearly two hours.

"Master, your attainments in alchemy are indeed profound. After your guidance, I, an old turtle, feel that I can immediately become a third-level intermediate alchemist!"

The old turtle showed an expression of amazement, as if he was facing some peerless master.

Zhou Xun was somewhat helpless when he saw this, and could only say:
"Alright, put away your expression. I called you here today for a second matter!"

"Master, just give your orders!"

"Haven't you always wanted to go out with me before? Well, I have to go out again during this period, so you will be responsible for taking me out. How about that?" Zhou Xun said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle nodded repeatedly to show its approval.
"It is my honor to be the master's mount!"

I was also very happy in my heart,

"Now it seems that the master still has me in his heart. Now it's Feng Zhong's turn to envy me!"

'No, I have to talk to him about it before it gets to me!'

Thinking of this, he said:

"I don't know when the master will leave, so I can make some preparations!"

"Then let's do it tomorrow!" Zhou Xun said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, the old turtle has left!"

After leaving the reception room, the Chiwu Spirit Turtle immediately came to Feng Zhong's room.

"咚咚-"

Feng Zhong was sitting in the room at this time, looking at a jade slip in his hand. He was studying how to refine his own natal magic weapon.

After reaching the fourth level, the monster beast can transform into a human form, and can also practice the skills, magical powers and even the hundred arts of cultivation of the human race.

Therefore, they also learned from humans and began to refine their own magic weapons.

For example, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle has a red turtle shield, which has extremely amazing defensive power, not inferior to Zhou Xun’s black turtle shield!

The jade slip in his hand was obtained from Zhou Xun, and it contained content related to refining magic weapons.

I heard a knock on the door.
So he got up and opened the door.

Just then he saw an old man wearing a scarlet robe and carrying a scarlet tortoise shell on his back, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"What are you doing here, you old bastard?" Feng Chong's face turned cold instantly when he saw Chi Wu!

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled even more brightly and said slowly:

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you should change your temper. Why are you still so impulsive? I'm here to tell you something good."

Feng Zhong frowned and looked at the Red Noon Spirit Turtle with suspicion, "What good things can you have? Are you trying to cause trouble for me again?"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle straightened up, raised his chin slightly, and said proudly:

"My master is going out tomorrow, and he specially asked me to go with him. I should share this good thing with Fellow Daoist Feng, of course?"

When Feng Zhong heard this, his face became even gloomier.

"What's there to be proud of? I went there with them some time ago, and now I'm practicing in the cave!"

Although I said this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in my heart.
"Could it be that I acted on my own last time and angered my master, and I didn't check it out and let this old bastard climb over my head!"

"No, I have to refine this life-saving magic weapon quickly. When my strength improves greatly, the master will naturally pay attention to me!"

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle laughed loudly.

"You are just being stubborn, you must be very jealous in your heart,"

"You should stay at home and guard the cave. Leave the adventures outside to me!"

After saying that, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle turned around and walked away with a swagger.

Feng Zhong looked at the back of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle and secretly vowed in his heart that he must refine his life magic weapon as soon as possible, so that the master could see his strength and take him with him next time he went out. The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds and fell on Zhou Xun's mansion.

Zhou Xun arrived at the courtyard early, and saw the Red Noon Spirit Turtle already waiting there.
"Master, everything is ready. We can set off at any time." The Red Noon Spirit Turtle said respectfully.

"Let's go!"

Immediately, Zhou Xun and the Chiwu Spirit Turtle left the cave.

Arriving at the East Gate,
The cultivator stationed here is still the Taoist Master Xuanyu.

"I've met Senior Zhou!"

Xuanyu Zhenren bowed respectfully.
Zhou Xun nodded slightly. In the eyes of everyone's amazement, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle behind him flashed and revealed its original form.
It turned into a size of several dozen feet and floated on the sea like a huge piece of land.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded slightly and jumped up.

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle sensed Zhou Xun's arrival and slowly raised its spiritual power to hold Zhou Xun firmly.

Then, it transformed into a red light and rushed towards the east.

An hour later, they were already thousands of miles away from the Immortal City.
Zhou Xun waved his hand.
The Tianji Cave Mansion flew out and landed on the broad back of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle, transforming into a courtyard.
"When you get there, just let me know!"

After giving the order, Zhou Xun pushed open the door and walked in.

Arriving at the practice room,
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

He reached to his waist, took down the gourd containing Danyuan wine, pulled out the stopper from the gourd, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

"Fuck!"

Lightning arcs exploded inside Zhou Xun's mouth.
However, with his physique comparable to that of a fourth-level demon king, these lightning arcs naturally could not pose a threat to him.

As the wine entered his stomach, pure lightning spiritual energy instantly rose up and filled his meridians.

Zhou Xun immediately activated the "Purple Thunder Art" to guide the spiritual energy to circulate throughout the whole body.
Finally, it turned into spiritual power and merged into the Nascent Soul in Dantian.

This baby was only an inch in size, and its face was exactly the same as Zhou Xun's. Its eyes were tightly closed, and when it sensed the influx of this spiritual power, it revealed a look of satisfaction.

After daily practice,

Zhou Xun then took off his clothes, revealing his smooth and white upper body.
Who could have known that beneath this crystal-like body, there lay the powerful strength of a wild ancient beast.

The next step is to practice the art of tempering the body with lightning.

Zhou Xun has now advanced to the fourth level in both the Dao of Alchemy and the Dao of Talismans. However, he is unable to practice and improve due to the difficulty in finding materials.

However, the art of formation and puppetry has no fourth-level inheritance, and the way forward is blocked after practicing to the peak of the third level.

Therefore, he could only devote his time to training his qi and body.

"But this time I have inherited the legacy from Tianxing Zhenjun, so I can continue to improve my formation skills!" He muttered to himself.
Zhou Xun opened his mouth slightly.

A two-inch purple jade square platform flew out. It was his life-saving magic weapon, the Thunder Pool.
As soon as it appeared, tiny arcs of lightning appeared in the air.

Since it was upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon, the Thunder Pool has become more and more unfathomable, and its power has been continuously increasing.

Because I have never experienced a real war,
Zhou Xun himself didn't know either.

How strong is he now?

With both hands clasped together, he pointed towards the thunder pond.
An extremely fine arc of purple lightning was drawn out, streaking across the surface of the body and penetrating into the 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.

His body seemed to have turned into a huge iron ingot, constantly being hammered.

Every impact and refining made his body stronger.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, a look of pain flashing across his face.

The whole body showed a light purple color.

Just like this, several hours passed, and Zhou Xun slowly stopped practicing. The purple color on his body gradually disappeared, revealing his original skin.

As white as jade, without a single flaw, and beneath her body, there seemed to be a faint sound of lightning arcs.

So far, today's body quenching is complete.
My body is stronger than before.
With time and effort, one day you will be able to reach the eleventh level, and with your physique alone, you will be able to compete with a mid-level Demon King!

The following time passed slowly in peace. Zhou Xun immersed himself in the world of cultivation, constantly improving his strength.

The Red Noon Spirit Turtle carried the Tianji Cave Mansion steadily on its back, speeding across the sea towards its destination!
On the way, they also encountered many sea beasts, but after sensing the powerful aura of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle, they all fled.

Zhou Xun would occasionally wake up from his practice, walk out of the Tianji Cave, come to the top of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle, and sit cross-legged there.

Drinking the spiritual wine, I watched the endless sea and the bright moon hanging high in the sky, swaying back and forth with the tide.

Just like the ancient saying: "The bright moon rises over the sea, and people all over the world share this moment"

"Master, here we are!"

Because he did not bring along his subordinates in the Jindan stage, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle was able to fly at full speed. In just three months,

Zhou Xun then came to the sea area where he had encountered the fog.

Hearing the old turtle's call, Zhou Xun immediately woke up from his practice and immediately collected the Tianji Cave Mansion.

Then, his figure flashed and appeared in the air.

"Yes, this is it!"

But I couldn’t see the fog that I encountered when I first came here.

"Master, is this the place where the Tianxing Zhenjun's cave abode appeared?"

At this time, the Red Noon Spirit Turtle also transformed into a human form and came behind Zhou Xun.

"It's right here, let me look for it!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands on his waist and two rays of light flew out, hovering in front of him.

One is his small divination compass,
The other one was a fragment of the stone tablet from that day.

Zhou Xun planned to use the connection between the fragments and the stone tablet, and then use divination to find the location of the cave.

Zhou Xun was seen mumbling something, making hand gestures, and pointing at the fragments.
Then an invisible energy was drawn out and merged into the compass.
After a moment, the compass flashed and showed a golden arrow pointing to somewhere in the northwest.

"How can it be so far away!"

Zhou Xun was very surprised.

Because according to the results displayed on the compass, the cave is actually a million miles away from here.
With his current escape speed, it would take more than ten days to get there.

"Well, let's fly!"

As he said this, he jumped onto the back of the Red Noon Spirit Turtle again and flew towards the northwest.

Three days later, Zhou Xun changed direction again.

Three days later, the direction changed again!

At this time, Zhou Xun discovered that this cave would move every three days.

No wonder they never saw the fog again after they came out last time.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun also had the art of divination at hand, so he could grasp the location of the cave at any time.
Just like playing hide-and-seek, it took another two months, and Zhou Xun finally caught up with it before it moved.
Back to that fog again!
