Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 717: Obtain the fourth-level soul stone, advance the pupil technique, and become the nemesis of the ghost clan!

"Today I heard from Brother Yu that Daoist Wangchuan had come to the front line of the Western Desert. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect to actually see him. Haha!"

Tianyi Zhenjun spoke first, with a smile on his face.

"Greetings to all the True Lords!" Zhou Xun bowed to them one by one.

"Master Wangchuan is polite!"

After a few brief greetings, everyone walked into the cave together.

Wang Erniu fell behind, and came to the Nine Swords Master with excitement, bowed to the ground, and performed a great salute:
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

"Okay, okay!" Jiujian Zhenjun supported his disciple with excitement in his eyes.
"When did you achieve the Nascent Soul stage? It really gave this Master a big surprise!"

Lord Jiujian did not expect that Wang Erniu would break through to the Nascent Soul stage so quickly.

Judging from Wang Erniu's swordsmanship attainments, his current strength is probably comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"About twenty years ago, my disciple had a lucky breakthrough!"

"In this way, our Taibai Sword Sect will have a successor!"

Soon, everyone came to the reception room and sat down.
"It is truly a great blessing in life to be able to meet three old friends including Master Wangchuan in this foreign land of the Western Desert!"

Tianyi Zhenjun smiled and continued
"After we separated from Zhongzhou, we each went our separate ways. We thought it would be hard for us to meet again, but we didn't expect to meet again on the battlefield against the ghosts."

"But I remember you didn't receive a call-up order. Why are you here?"

Then Zhou Xun briefly told his experience, and everyone nodded.

"I never thought that you have reached this level in formation formation. Now, I have an unwelcome request. I hope you can help me a little!" Tianyi Zhenjun thought for a moment and suddenly said something unexpected.
The others also cast their gazes over there.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wangchuan can set up a long-distance teleportation array, can you set up another one to connect the Western Desert and Central Continent?"

"Although the two immortal cultivation worlds are adjacent, it took us more than half a year to cross the Quicksand Sea."

"If there is a teleportation array connected to us, we can also relieve the pain of homesickness!"

"After all, we have been away from Zhongzhou for decades!" Tianyi Zhenjun said with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Lord Yan Mo also showed a look of realization and said:

"I forgot about this matter. I hope you can help me, Brother Zhou!"

The rest of the people did the same.

"There is no problem in setting up the teleportation array, but I am short of Xuankong Crystals. I am afraid I need help from Brother Ji Dao at this time!"

Zhou Xun thought for a moment and replied.

"The Xuankong Crystal is fine. I remember there are several in the secret vault for exchanging for war merits. I can just exchange it for them."

"As for the other materials, just make a list and we'll prepare them for you!"

Lord Yama waved his hand and made the promise.

Given his current position on the Western Desert front, collecting some materials is naturally extremely easy for him.

"If that's the case, I have no problem with that, but I'm afraid I need to report this to the headquarters. After all, if I set up a teleportation array without permission, I'm afraid they will have objections!" Zhou Xun continued.

After all, he came to the Western Desert, but there was a special teleportation hall with extremely strict guards. If teleportation arrays were set up randomly in every area, the people here would probably have been in chaos long ago.

"It's alright, I'll handle it!" Lord Yan Mo patted his chest and said,

He is at the top of the battle merit list and the first person below the God Transformation Stage. If he is not even allowed to resolve such a problem, he would dare to take the rest of the people and return directly to Central Continent.

After this was settled, everyone started chatting and discussing the mysteries of the world.

Lord Yan Mo, Lord Tian Yi, and Lord Xuan Lang were all cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, so the contents they described were naturally very helpful to Zhou Xun.
It benefited him a lot.

Before leaving, Tianyi Zhenjun took out a jade talisman, placed it in his hand, and then said:

"This is a unique communication talisman of our Zhongzhou. If you are in danger in the Ghost Mist Land, you can crush this talisman. As long as there is a Yuanying of our Zhongzhou within 300,000 miles, they can receive the message."

"Maybe they can come to rescue us in time!"

"Thank you, Brother Dao!" Zhou Xun took the offer and bowed to express his gratitude, then parted ways with everyone.
They agreed that they would help set up a teleportation array connecting to Zhongzhou in half a month!

After returning to his cave, Zhou Xun came to the training room.

With a flick of his finger, a ray of spiritual light shot out, and all the restrictions in the entire cave were opened.

Then he sat down cross-legged, flipped his hand, and took out the fourth-level ghost beads given to him by Lord Yama, which were the 'soul stones' described in the 'Spiritual Resonance and Blue Light Pupil' jade slip.

His original plan was to kill a few fourth-level ghosts, then take out the ghost bead and practice this pupil technique.
Now it seems that I can practice in advance.
If you can practice this technique to the second level, you will have one more means to deal with ghosts in the future.

After all, according to Lord Yama, this kind of magical power like illusion, like the magical power of thunder, has a very restraining effect on them.

Zhou Xun took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He took out the jade slip, probed his spiritual consciousness into it, and began to study the methods and tips of the second level of pupil technique.

According to the jade slip, to cultivate the second level of Lingxi Qingguang Pupil, one needs to use one's own spiritual power as a guide to fully stimulate the Lingxi power in the ghost bead.
And guide it to merge with the eyes to construct a more complex and powerful spiritual power circuit.

Zhou Xun closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly mobilizing the spiritual power in his body, and carefully reached out to the ghost bead.
The moment the spiritual power touched the ghost bead, a cold and strange force came back along the veins of the spiritual power, and its intensity far exceeded the resistance encountered during the first level of cultivation.

Zhou Xun's heart trembled, but he did not panic. For a thunder cultivator, the power of a mere ghost could be easily dealt with.

With a thought, he connected to the thunder pool in his body, and then a white arc of lightning emerged, which was the Yin Thunder.

This item has a strong restraining effect on ghosts.
He guided the ghost bead in front of him and shot it towards him.

The white lightning arc instantly enveloped the ghost bead, and then penetrated into it.

"what!"

Sharp screams were heard one after another, and the ghost bead began to change. Although it was still as black as ink, it no longer had that haunting feeling and began to present a crystal-like effect.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun continued to the next step, controlling the spiritual power to slowly penetrate into the core of the ghost bead.

As the spiritual power continued to deepen, the ghost bead began to tremble violently, and a faint blue light surged out from it like a tide.

In front of Zhou Xun, it gathered into a deep and mysterious blue light.

Combining them, he used his powerful spiritual power to guide a strand of it into his eyes.

When the light approached his eyes, Zhou Xun only felt a slight stinging pain, but this was normal.
Gradually, this ray of green light began to blend in, and his eyes felt a sense of warmth.
As time went by, strands of spiritual power were constantly introduced and integrated.
Zhou Xun's eyes began to show a green light, which gradually became steady and bright. Suddenly, his eyes shone brightly, and a strong and deep pupil power emanated from them.

Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes. He could clearly feel that his vision had made a qualitative leap. He could not only see through the walls of the training room and see the scene outside,
He can also keenly perceive fluctuations in spiritual power hidden in the dark, faint traces of ghostly energy, and even subtle distortions in space that are difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect.

"I finally succeeded in breaking through to the second level of Lingxi Qingguangpupil!" Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

"Then, let's try his power!"

He slapped the spirit beast bag at his waist, and two rays of spiritual light, one golden and one yellow, flew out and landed on the ground.

The golden spiritual light transformed into a boy of about eight or nine years old, wearing a golden short shirt, with eyes as bright as stars, exuding a lively aura, and two round dragon horns on his forehead, adding a bit of childishness to him.

It is the transformed Azure Gold Dragon
The yellow spiritual light transformed into a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a resolute face and a tail covered with scales. He was the transformed black-armored armadillo.

"Master, have you forgotten about us and are suffocating in the spirit beast bag!" As soon as Xiao Jin came out, he came in front of Zhou Xun and said with a pout.

"Cough cough!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun felt a little embarrassed. He had indeed forgotten about these two beasts, so he laughed it off and continued:
"I summoned you out today to test a magical power for me!"

"Master, just give me your orders!" Xiao Jin said, patting his chest.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I listen to my master!" As for Xiaojia, he was much more depressed and nodded slightly.

"Okay, then let Xiao Jin come!" As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xun's mind moved, and he made a gesture with both hands and pointed towards his eyes.
His eyes emitted faint green light, covering Xiao Jin opposite him.

Xiao Jin only felt that the scene around him changed instantly, and he seemed to be in an endless green ocean. Everything around him became blurred, and only that powerful pupil power oppressed his soul like a substance.

He was startled and quickly mobilized the demonic power in his body to try to resist this force.

However, he found that his movements had become extremely slow, and his thoughts seemed to be stuck in some kind of sticky quagmire.

"Master, you...what kind of magical power is this!" Xiao Jin was shocked.

Zhou Xun did not respond. He continued to control the power of Lingxi Qingguangpupil to increase the pressure on Xiao Jin.

All kinds of illusory scenes began to emerge in the green ocean, trying to impact his spiritual defense line.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin did not dare to be negligent at all. He used his innate magical power - the Black Gold Body.

A layer of golden light surged out from his body, wrapping his body tightly, forming a solid shield, turning him into a little golden man.

As the golden light emerged, all the original illusions were expelled and disappeared without a trace.

"How?" Zhou Xun asked hurriedly.

Xiao Jin shook his head, recalled his feelings just now, and said:

"Master, your magical power is extremely powerful. Without the body of black gold, it would be difficult to break free from this illusion."

Zhou Xun nodded after hearing this.

Although Xiao Jin is a fourth-level demon king, he is still young in terms of age, and his soul power is not strong. Compared with those old demons, he is naturally incomparable.
However, considering that illusions have a restraining effect on ghosts,
Xiao Jin's reaction was more in line with that of an ordinary fourth-level ghost when encountering this magical power.

"It seems that I was right to upgrade the 'Spiritual Blue Light Pupil' to the second level in advance. This way, I will have an extra killer weapon when hunting ghosts!"

When he encounters the fourth-level ghost king,
First use the 'Spiritual Blue Pupils' to confuse his mind and make him lose the power to resist. Then take this opportunity to summon the Black Thunder Sword and kill him with one strike!

Then he collected the ghost beads,

Then you can escape thousands of miles away before other ghosts can react.

Thinking of this scene, Zhou Xun couldn't help but reveal a hint of anticipation.

By the time he had completed the training of this pupil technique, seventeen days had passed.
Two days had passed since the day he had agreed upon with Yama Zhenjun and others.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun immediately stood up, walked out of the cave gate, and headed towards the cave of Lord Yama.

"I have been cultivating a magical power these days and forgot about time. I have kept you waiting for so long. This is truly a sin!"

When we arrived at the cave of Lord Yama, we saw Lord Tianyi and Lord Jiujian were also there.

"When I went to your cave the day before yesterday, I saw that the magic array restrictions were open. I guessed that you had reached a critical point in your cultivation. Did you gain anything?" Lord Yama waved his hand indifferently and laughed.

"I also want to thank Brother Yu for the ghost beads. I came here for him. In the past half month, I have successfully improved my magical power by a level!"

Zhou Xun said this, bowed to Lord Yan Mo and thanked him, then asked:

"I wonder if the headquarters has agreed to set up a teleportation array connecting to my Central Continent!"

"Of course they agreed. When they heard the news that we had set up the teleportation array, they naturally agreed. Not only that,"

"According to what they said, the teleportation array was set up just to resist the ghost tribe, so all the materials were provided by them."

"In addition, when I finish setting up the teleportation array, I can talk about my military merits. The number is set at three hundred points!" Lord Yama laughed.

Zhou Xun was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.

Three hundred points is equivalent to killing two fourth-level mid-grade ghost kings, which is definitely a large number.

The last person on the list has only 340 points of military merit.
In other words, as long as Zhou Xun kills a ghost king, he can directly enter the Heavenly Ranking!
"Thank you so much, Brother Dao, for fighting for me!" Zhou Xun said.

"You are working for Zhongzhou, so I cannot let you do it in vain. Now that you are here, let's go to the Teleportation Hall and set up the magic array without further delay!"

"They have already marked out an area for our exclusive use in Central China!" Lord Yama laughed.

"Then let's go, but there is one thing I need to tell you first. The teleportation array will only be effective after both sides have been set up."

"Now I can only arrange this half of the teleportation hall first. As for the other half in Central Continent, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while."

"How about waiting for me to enter the Ghost Mist Land for a year, and then returning to recuperate, and then returning to Central Continent through the Quicksand Sea to arrange the other half?"

Zhou Xun said seriously.

"I know what it is. Of course it's no problem. We have waited for decades. We don't mind a little more time. When the time comes, I will go with you in person!"

Lord Yama waved his hand and agreed.

So Zhou Xun, Lord Yanmo, Lord Tianyi and Lord Jiujian all walked out of the cave gate together and headed towards the teleportation hall.
