Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 694: The precious pill is obtained, and the spirit butterfly advances!
As soon as Ji Yu finished speaking, many cultivators in the audience showed interest.

For these Nascent Soul cultivators in the early stage, a third-grade top-quality flying spirit beast is more than enough for their daily travels, and it can also save their mana.

Even if you really have to fight and escape, you can still use your own escape techniques.

The two are not in conflict.
Therefore, for some Nascent Soul cultivators who do not have a suitable flying mount, this green-feathered eagle beast egg is quite attractive.

"One hundred high-grade spirit stones, I want them!"

At this time, an old man with gray hair and a thin body stood up.

"I want one too. I'll pay one hundred and five dollars!" Upon hearing this, an old man in a white robe hurriedly spoke up.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? It was obviously me who saw you first!" The skinny old man's face was full of dissatisfaction.

"This treasure is extremely rare. I believe there are many fellow practitioners who are interested in it. It would be too reckless to give it to whoever asks for it."

"Why don't you and I bid against each other, and whoever offers the higher price gets it!" said the old man in white robe calmly.

"That's right, Brother Hu, what you said makes sense. Whoever has the higher conditions should get it!" Many other cultivators also offered to help.

Seeing everyone saying this, the skinny old man snorted coldly, said nothing more, and stopped bidding.

But at this time, other interested monks also began to bid.

"I'll offer one hundred and ten high-grade spirit stones!"

"One hundred and twenty!" another white-bearded old man shouted.

The price kept rising and soon reached one hundred and thirty high-quality spirit stones.

At this time, the bidding speed gradually slowed down.

Finally, the green-feathered eagle egg was bought by a young female monk for one hundred and fifty high-quality spirit stones.

Behind Shopkeeper Ji was a tall, ruddy-faced old man.
He waved his hand and a palm-sized black stone floated in the air.
"It took me decades to extract this piece of Xuan Chen Essence, which weighs seven ounces and nine cents. I will exchange it for a pill to improve the mana of the Nascent Soul Stage. Of course, if there is no pill, spirit stones will do, but at least three pieces of top-grade spirit stones are required!"

The essence of Xuanchen is the essence extracted from the stars that fell from the sky by the fourth-level cultivators using the infant fire. The extraction of this substance is quite time-consuming.

The essence of Xuanchen can barely be used to create some high-quality magic weapons.

It can also be added to magic weapons as auxiliary materials, which will greatly enhance the power of the magic weapons.

Zhou Xun's black tortoise shield contained a lot of Xuanchen essence, and its defensive power was extremely amazing.

"I need this to forge a magic weapon. I want this essence of Xuanchen!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a red robe stood up, walked to the old man, and took out a bottle of elixir.
The old man took the medicine bottle, uncorked it and smelled it carefully, then showed a happy expression.

"Okay, I'll switch with you!"

The second transaction was also completed.

Next, other monks also came on stage to show off their treasures.

A cultivator took out a bottle of rare elixir and wanted to exchange it for high-quality materials;

There was also a cultivator who took out a unique secret manual of martial arts, hoping to exchange it for suitable refining materials.

Zhou Xun watched quietly from the audience, thinking in his mind what kind of treasure he should take out.

He came here today for only two purposes.
The main one is the Deliverance Pill, and the second is the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual medicine.
There are hundreds of monks of the same level gathered here, so the possibility of exchanging this item is very high.

After thinking it over, Zhou Xun decided to take out the Dan Yuan wine he had refined, a treasure that could assist cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul stage.
It is hard currency that no Nascent Soul cultivator would want to miss.

As the exchange progressed, it was finally Zhou Xun's turn to go on stage. He walked up to the stage, took out the Danyuan wine, and said:
"Thank you, fellow Taoists. I'll look for you next week."

"The treasure I brought this time is Dan Yuan wine, which is made from the inner elixir of a fourth-order low-grade monster beast. It has a miraculous effect on the cultivation of cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Each bite is equivalent to one month of normal practice!"

"I brought 30 kilograms of Danyuan wine, which I will only exchange for fourth-grade mid-quality spiritual medicines, no limit on the variety!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd below started to stir.

"This is a spiritual wine made from the inner elixir of a fourth-level monster. It's a rare treasure. If you can get it, your cultivation speed will definitely increase greatly."

Many cultivators in the audience showed excited expressions. For cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, every treasure that can speed up cultivation is extremely valuable.

"I have a fourth-grade medium-quality 'Ice Soul Snow Lotus', and I'd like to exchange this Dan Yuan wine with you." A female cultivator in a blue robe stood up.

He took out a jade box in his hand and after opening it, an icy air emanated. The snow lotus inside was crystal clear and emitted waves of spiritual energy.

Zhou Xun was delighted. He didn't expect that someone would respond as soon as he took out the Danyuan wine. This was really beyond his expectations.

"Okay, I'll switch with you!"

In this way, he had two fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicines, which were enough to improve his spiritual roots to ninety-four points.

After both parties completed the transaction, Zhou Xun returned to his seat with the elixir in satisfaction.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that the exchange went smoothly and half of the goal had been achieved. The next step was to depend on the Deliverance Pill!
As the exchange meeting continued, many more precious treasures were displayed and exchanged.

Finally, the exchange process was halfway through, and it was time for Jinyuan Pavilion to take out the first Deliverance Pill.

Ji Yu walked onto the stage again, holding a jade bottle in his hand, which contained the focus of this exchange meeting - the Deliverance Pill.

"My fellow Taoists, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"What I have in my hand is the Deliverance Pill!"

"I don't need to explain the function of the Deliverance Pill. It can be exchanged for treasures worth more than five top-grade spirit stones."

"The highest bidder wins. You may make your bid now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience suddenly became lively, and many monks were eager to try, but they were also a little hesitant.

After all, they had seen Prince Yu was also interested in the Du'e Pill, and they really had no confidence that they could compete with him.

But this was an opportunity to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and they were reluctant to let it go.
Then a monk in a black robe stood up and said nervously, "I have a top-grade attack magic weapon - the Black Gold Thorn. I got this magic weapon by chance. It has great power and is a gold-attributed magic weapon!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to the direction of Prince Yu.

Prince Yu frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the bids. He slowly stood up and said proudly, "I will give you a top-grade attack magic weapon and four top-grade spirit stones in exchange for this Deliverance Pill!"

When everyone heard Prince Yu's bid, they couldn't help but gasp. This bid was really too high, far beyond their imagination.

Just when everyone thought that the Deliverance Pill was going to be taken by Prince Yu,
An old woman who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word suddenly spoke up: "I am going to produce a complete top-grade magic weapon. I have spent countless efforts to refine this magic weapon. It is both offensive and defensive. In addition, it also comes with a fourth-level mid-grade alchemy inheritance!"

The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. A complete fourth-grade top-grade magic weapon and a fourth-grade middle-grade alchemy inheritance, this value is higher than the price offered by Prince Yu.

Prince Yu's face turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect that someone would offer a higher price than him. He looked at the old woman, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "Who are you? How dare you compete with me!"

The old woman was not afraid at all. She said calmly, "I am just a casual cultivator. I came here only for the Deliverance Pill. I hope Your Highness will not embarrass me."

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Ji Yu came out to smooth things over: "Don't be impulsive, this is only the first Deliverance Pill, there is still a second one."

Prince Yu snorted coldly and sat down. The old woman did not say anything else, but just looked at Ji Yu quietly.

Just when everyone thought the elixir was going to fall into the hands of the old woman,

Zhou Xun stood up and said, "A fourth-level attack magic weapon, 'Golden Dragonfly Slash', plus ten top-grade spirit stones, in exchange for this Deliverance Pill!"

This treasure was obtained after he killed the Iron-backed Dragonfly.

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Such a price must have exceeded the price of the Deliverance Pill.

Shopkeeper Ji was all smiles. He could say that he had gained a lot from this exchange meeting.
Then he glanced at the crowd expectantly, hoping someone would continue to bid.

But the price of a top-grade magic weapon plus ten top-grade spirit stones is already beyond the reach of anyone.

So this Deliverance Pill was finally taken by Zhou Xun.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this elixir is yours!"

Zhou Xun looked at the pill bottle in front of him, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Although the cost is a little bit higher, it is worth it to be able to get this pill.

After Zhou Xun collected the pills, he returned to his seat. Many of the cultivators around him looked at him with envy and jealousy, but Zhou Xun didn't care. He was now full of expectations for his promotion to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The exchange continued, and various rare treasures appeared one after another, but Zhou Xun did not continue to bid until the end of the exchange.

Zhou Xun returned to the cave.

Then, with the help of the teleportation array, he returned to Wangchuan Lake and began a peaceful daily practice life.

Winter passed and spring came, and five years passed in a flash.

training room,
The main body and the incarnation sit opposite each other
The incarnation made a gesture with both hands and pointed towards himself.
Then, a colorful spiritual light illuminated the entire stone chamber, and then a two-foot-long Ganoderma lucidum with a texture like beautiful jade and colorful colors flew out.

The aroma of medicine is tangy, and the spiritual charm flows on the body, which makes people fall in love with it at first sight, as if in a dream!
It was the fourth-grade top-grade spiritual medicine "Seven Fantasy Colored Ganoderma" that Zhou Xun had nurtured before.

Looking at the magical medicine in front of him, Zhou Xun no longer hesitated.
He clasped his hands together and performed the formula of Ningchun Sutra.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage."

He chanted the incantation and lightly touched the Seven Fantasy Colored Ganoderma with his finger. Immediately, the surrounding vitality was attracted and gathered together.

Soon, a green light spot appeared above the seven-color ganoderma, emitting a soft light.

Then, Zhou Xun carefully controlled the ball of light to move towards his body.

The moment the ball of light touched the body, the essence melted into it.
Zhou Xun felt himself being enveloped by a familiar warmth, and then he felt refreshed, as if he had been sublimated.

After an unknown amount of time, the strange phenomenon finally stopped.

Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
"Finally, I have improved again. I wonder what kind of fortune I will have after my spiritual roots are improved to 100 points!"

"Next, we need to check how much our spiritual root qualifications have improved!"

After muttering something, Zhou Xun slapped his hand on the storage bag on his waist, and a spiritual light flew out, fell in front of him, and turned into a one-foot-sized disc.

It's that Ouija board!

I saw Zhou Xun put his hands on the soul measuring board, and then used the magic formula to activate it.

A ray of light flashed, Zhou Xun looked at the spirit board and smiled slightly:
"Wood Spiritual Root Sensitivity 94 points,"

"Just as I expected, it has improved a little bit!"

With his spiritual roots enhanced, Zhou Xun immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and practice.

An hour later, Zhou Xun opened his eyes again.

"Yes, the speed of cultivation has improved again. It seems that in a few decades, I will be able to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"

In the following time, Zhou Xun's original body and his incarnation stayed in Wangchuan Lake to practice.

In his spare time, he would talk with Tianci Zhenjun about the mysteries of the Tao, or return to Wangchuan Island in the South China Sea.

Just like this, another two years passed.

On this day, in the training room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and practiced.
suddenly,

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy came from the northwest of the cave, instantly waking Zhou Xun up, and his consciousness spread out.

"This is the third metamorphosis of the Swallowtail Butterfly!"

Zhou Xun was delighted. He had never expected that in just a decade, it would undergo its third transformation.
It had only transformed twice before.

Attracting the phoenix butterfly can play a key role in his battle with the Thunder Feather Demon King.

Now it has transformed again,

Zhou Xun was extremely looking forward to his abilities.

So he immediately stood up and walked out of the practice room.
"Husband, you're out!"

When Zhou Xun came out, he saw Lin Xueying already waiting outside the insect chamber, her face full of anticipation.

She had also heard about the record of attracting swallowtail butterflies, so she was very curious.

Inside the insect room,

A white cocoon about the size of a foot is bathing in the aura.

Zhou Xun could vaguely feel a mysterious force gathering. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he felt as if he was in a dream.
My mind moved,
Out of this illusion,

On the other hand, Lin Xueying was staring blankly at the spiritual energy ball, with tears in her eyes.

It's obvious that he's been infected.

"wake up!"

Zhou Xun immediately used his spiritual sense to shock her and woke her up.

"Husband, I'm being bewitched by the swallowtail butterfly!" Lin Xueying was extremely shocked.

You know, she is a Jindan cultivator.
"Yes, the spirit butterfly has a very strong hallucinogenic ability. Even a fourth-grade top-grade demon king can be fooled if he is not careful!" Zhou Xun explained with a smile.

As time passed, the light gradually became stronger, shining through the cracks in the insect chamber, as gorgeous as a dream.

The light seemed to contain endless illusions, making people dare not look directly at it.

After a long time,
The spiritual energy in the insect chamber began to riot and poured into the cocoon, forming a series of spiritual energy vortices.

Now has come the critical moment to guide the Phoenix Butterfly to advance. As long as you can get through this stage of spiritual energy infusion, you will be promoted successfully!
After about half a minute, the ball of spiritual energy grew larger and larger, and even seemed to turn into mist.

This is a phenomenon where spiritual energy has gathered to the extreme!
At this time, the cocoon of the swallowtail butterfly in the spiritual energy group suddenly emitted a light golden light, and tiny vortices appeared on the surface, absorbing the huge spiritual energy into it.

At the same time, its aura was also surging.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the butterfly's aura changed, and a wave of spiritual energy spread out.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun was delighted.

"Success!"
