Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 747 Set off and take office in Jiangling Prefecture!

After this butterfly was promoted to the fourth stage, not only did its illusion power increase greatly, but it also gained space power. No wonder this insect has such a big reputation.

Being able to master space-related abilities at the lower level of the fourth order is absolutely rare in the world.

For example, the human Qi cultivators like them only have the opportunity to master the power of space and teleport with their physical bodies after they reach the late Nascent Soul stage.

Attracting the swallowtail butterfly to break through is a good thing, but there are also some troubles.
At its current level, Zhou Xun was at a loss as to how to continue cultivating the insect.

Although it has now achieved the body of a phantom butterfly, as long as it follows the steps, it can reach the mature body on its own.
But that would take too long.

According to records in historical books, a mature Dark Fantasy Butterfly can rival several Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of their powers.

"It seems that I will have to find out how to cultivate the Netherworld Butterfly in the future. As for now."

"Let's try to buy some fourth-level spiritual fluid for daily feeding!"

With this in mind, Zhou Xun arranged the spirit butterfly in the insect room, together with the Qianying insect, each occupying a space.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun left the cave. His destination was Jinyuan Pavilion, the largest shop in Jinyang Fairy City.

In the land of Jin, any shop with the word "Jin" in its name is related to the royal family of the Jin Dynasty.

This Jinyuan Pavilion is a shop opened by the imperial family of the Jin Dynasty.

It is also the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Jin Dynasty, and even in the human race. It is said that it was originally opened by the ancestor of the first Jin Dynasty.

This Chamber of Commerce is not only spread all over Dajin, but also has branches in other continents. It contains countless treasures. Basically, as long as you can name it, you can find it here.

Therefore, if Zhou Xun wanted to purchase the fourth-level spiritual liquid, his first choice would be the 'Jinyuan Pavilion'.

In just a quarter of an hour, Zhou Xun arrived at a building complex covering hundreds of feet, with green tiles, blue bricks, carved beams and painted buildings.
This is Jinyuan Pavilion.
There is one main building and four subsidiary buildings, each of which accommodates cultivators of different levels of cultivation, from the Foundation Establishment stage all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

Zhou Xun walked into the main building without hesitation and was received personally by the Grand Elder of Jinyuan Pavilion.

"A distinguished guest has arrived. I am late!"

In the elegant room, Zhou Xun was looking around when suddenly there was a knock on the door, followed by a hearty laugh.

I saw an old man wearing a brocade robe, with a fair complexion and a slightly plump figure, walking in with a smile!

"Hey, it's Palace Master Zhou. You've made a breakthrough, congratulations!"

The chief manager of Jinyuan Pavilion recognized Zhou Xun as soon as he came in. After all, the two had had many dealings with each other.

When he sensed the magical power of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul on Zhou Xun, he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. Fortunately, he had been the shopkeeper for many years,

Being experienced, he quickly hid this emotion and replaced it with an expression of congratulations.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, you are too polite. I am just relying on the power of the elixir. I also want to thank Fellow Daoist Ji for introducing the exchange meeting last time. Otherwise, I would not have been able to obtain the opportunity to obtain the Deliverance Pill!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and bowed in return.

The shopkeeper came and sat down next to Zhou Xun, brewed a pot of spiritual tea himself and handed it to Zhou Xun.

"I wonder what treasures Lord Zhou wants to buy here?"

Zhou Xun took the spirit tea and took a sip.
The spiritual tea entered his stomach, and a pure spiritual energy rose up, making him feel refreshed.

Zhou Xun secretly praised the good tea, and then said his reason for coming:

"Zhou came here for two reasons. First, I came here to purchase the fourth-grade spiritual liquid. I wonder if there is such a thing in the pavilion. Second, I came here for the spiritual medicine of the fourth-grade or higher grade!"

Now Zhou Xun has a lot of spirit stones in his storage bag. At his current level, the spiritual objects he needs are extraordinary and basically cannot be purchased with spirit stones.
Therefore, if you can exchange it for some fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual plants, it would be extremely cost-effective.

"Palace Master Zhou, you came at the right time. We happen to have these two treasures in our pavilion. There are two types of fourth-level spiritual liquids in total."

"They are 'Ice Source Jade Liquid' and 'Ninth Level Spiritual Essence',"

"'Ice Source Jade Liquid' is water from a spiritual spring under the ten thousand year old black ice in the far north. It was condensed by several alchemy masters with the painstaking efforts of many rare spiritual objects."

"It contains extremely pure, icy spiritual power. For cultivators, taking it for a long time can not only refine the purity of their spiritual power,"

"It can also be used to cultivate with its icy properties to clear one's mind and resist the invasion of inner demons."

"The 'Ninth Level Spiritual Essence' is even rarer. It is the condensed dew secreted by the fourth-level medium-quality spiritual plant 'Ninth Level True Spirit Tree', combined with more than a dozen rare spiritual objects!"

"For Nascent Soul cultivators like us, it not only has the effect of refining magic power and consolidating the foundation, but also has the effect of slightly increasing the strength of the meridians and physique!"

"As for spiritual medicines of the fourth-level or higher quality, there is currently a plant of 'Spiritual Rhythm Snow Lotus' in the pavilion."

"Which ones does Lord Zhou want to buy?"

Shopkeeper Ji introduced each item in detail, like a treasure trove of treasures.

When Zhou Xun heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
I really came to the right place today, otherwise I would have missed these treasures.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said:

"I wonder how many of these three treasures there are in stock, and how much they are sold for?"

Shopkeeper Ji was delighted when he heard this. Zhou Xun could say such a thing, which meant he was going to buy it.
"There are three bottles of 'Ice Source Jade Liquid' left, each bottle is sold for one top-grade spirit stone. As for 'Ninth Level Spirit Essence', there are two bottles left, each bottle requires two top-grade spirit stones."

"'Spiritual Rhythm Snow Lotus' requires four top-grade spiritual stones!"

"Well, the price is fair. I'll take them all!" Zhou Xun said calmly.

"You want all?" Shopkeeper Ji was stunned when he heard this, showing a hint of surprise.

These are eleven top-grade spirit stones. Even for him, it would be extremely difficult to take out so many spirit stones at once.

It's not that he can't afford it.
But on normal days, they basically don’t keep so many spirit stones, and most of them are exchanged for magic weapons and spiritual objects.

But he soon calmed down and nodded:
"No problem, Lord Zhou, please wait here for a moment!" He turned and left.

After just a cup of tea, Shopkeeper Ji came back. With a flick of his sleeves, several rays of light flew out and landed on the table in front of him.

It turned into five exquisite jade bottles and a wooden box.

"Here are the treasures that the mansion lord needs. Please check them out!" Shopkeeper Ji said with a smile.

As the chief shopkeeper, he would naturally receive a commission from the treasures sold by Jinyuan Pavilion.
He also made a considerable profit from the treasure which was worth eleven top-grade spirit stones.

Zhou Xun was not polite either. He stretched out his hand, wrapped his spiritual power around these objects, and sensed them carefully.

After confirming that everything was correct, he turned his wrist, and the storage bag flashed with light, and eleven top-grade spirit stones were neatly placed on the table.

Shopkeeper Ji smiled even more, quickly put away the spirit stone, and said enthusiastically: "Palace Master Zhou is straightforward! If you have any needs in the future, please come to my Jinyuan Pavilion again."

Zhou Xun bowed his hands in thanks, then turned and left with the treasure.

Back in the cave, Zhou Xun went straight to the insect room.
With a thought, the phantom butterfly flapped its colorful wings and slowly landed in front of Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun gently stroked the wings of the Dark Fantasy Butterfly, his eyes full of pampering and anticipation.

Then, he took out the jade bottle containing the "Ice Source Jade Liquid" and carefully dripped a drop into the palm of his hand.
As soon as the jade liquid appeared, the temperature around it seemed to drop a little, emitting a hint of icy air.

If Zhou Xun hadn't been strong, he might have been frostbitten by the spiritual liquid. As for the Nether Phantom Butterfly, the moment it saw the spiritual liquid, it felt an extremely eager consciousness, its tentacles trembled slightly, and it could not wait to land on Zhou Xun's palm.
He stuck out his mouthparts and started to inhale.

As the spiritual liquid went down its throat, a light frost began to appear on the surface of the Dark Spirit Butterfly, but it soon merged into its body.

"how?"

Then a sense of satisfaction came from Psylocke.

Zhou Xun nodded in relief. This bottle contained fifty drops of spiritual fluid. At the rate of one drop per month, it would be enough for him to consume for four years.

With the addition of the "ninth-level spiritual essence", there is no need to worry about the supply of the Netherworld Spirit Butterfly for at least the next few decades.

Then, the Netherworld Butterfly flew back to the insect room, and Zhou Xun went out to look for Tianci Zhenjun.

Now that Lingdie has successfully advanced, it's time to head to Jiangling Prefecture.

Jingzhou, White Bone Mountain.

Deep in an unknown cave,
An old man with a stern face and sinister eyes sat on a stone platform. In front of him was a white skeleton floating.
Under his control, it emits a faint white light.
This person is none other than the supreme elder of White Bone Mountain, the feared True Lord Bai Gu who is greatly feared by the outside world.

At this moment, a beam of fire suddenly flew in from outside the cave and stayed above the cave. Sensing this, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and shot out two beams of light.
Then he waved his hand, and the fire turned into a sound transmission note and fell into his hand.

He listened carefully and found that it was his eldest son who came to visit.

Then he opened his sleeves, and instantly put the skeleton in front of him into the bag on his waist, and then sent a message to the outside:
"come in!"

After a while, a young man in a white brocade robe walked in. It was Bai Yu.

As soon as he saw the old man, Bai Yu bowed down:
"Meet the Supreme Elder!"

"What do you want from me?" Lord Bai Gu asked calmly with a blank expression.

Although it was just a common question, it sounded extremely important to the young man.

"Report to the elder, the spies from Jinyang Immortal City have sent news that Jiangling Palace Master Zhou Xun has appeared again!"

Bai Yu said tremblingly.

He was both in awe and fear of his father, and even when they met on a daily basis, he treated him in a manner consistent with his position.

Hearing this, Bai Gu Zhen Jun nodded.

"I understand. Keep an eye on his whereabouts. Once he leaves Jinyang, report immediately!"

"Yes!" Bai Yu nodded.

"How are the ruins in Jiangling Prefecture?" the old man asked.

"The outer restriction has almost been broken through. It will be completely broken through in a dozen years at most?" Bai Yu replied respectfully.

"Well, not bad!" The old man nodded slightly.
Then Bai Yu bowed and left.

After he left, the old man showed a cold look on his face and said softly:
"Zhou Xun, if you know what's best for you, you'd better stay in Jinyang Immortal City. The Blood Demon Lord's mansion is not something you can get your hands on!"

The cave of the God-given True Lord,

"Brother, why are you here?" At the entrance of the cave, Tianci Zhenjun came out to greet him personally.

"Of course I'm here to visit Brother Taoist!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and then followed Tianci Zhenjun into the cave.

The two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Tianci Zhenjun personally prepared a pot of spiritual tea, poured a cup and handed it to Zhou Xun.

At this time, after several years of cultivation, the aura of Tianci Zhenjun has become much stronger.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Brother, you have improved a lot!" Zhou Xun picked up the spiritual tea and took a sip.
A pure spiritual energy rises up, and after a little refining, it turns into spiritual power and merges into the Dantian.

"It's all thanks to the condensed frost dew!"

When Tianci Zhenjun left Western Desert, he exchanged a lot of condensed frost dew, which was enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

At this moment, Wang Erniu also received the news and came over.
"Brother, this is Brother Tianci Dao!" Wang Erniu bowed.

"Erniu, you're here just in time. Now that the three of us have made great progress in our cultivation and our strength has increased a lot, I think it's time for us to go to the three prefectures in Jingzhou to take up our posts!" Zhou Xun put away the smile on his face and said solemnly.

The biggest reason why I didn't go there before was because of the White Bone Mountain.
Especially Master Bai Gu, who has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is one of the top ten cultivators in the Dajin Dynasty, with extraordinary strength.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they would still be no match for him.

But now, he and Tianci Zhenjun have both advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and their strength has greatly improved. As for Wang Erniu, although his cultivation has not changed,
But his understanding of swordsmanship is even better than before.
With the three of them working together, they are naturally no match for the White Bone Mountain.

“That’s good too. The three prefectures of Jingzhou are such a vast territory, not inferior to the Eastern Wilderness at all. If they can be stabilized, it will be of great benefit!” Tianci Zhenjun nodded.

As long as Zhou Xun sets up a super long-distance teleportation array, this place will become a bridgehead for the monks in the Eastern Wilderness.

After all, whether it is resources or spiritual veins, Eastern Wilderness is far inferior.

"Brother, you make the decision on this matter. I will listen to you!" Wang Erniu said without hesitation.

"Okay, it's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Then we will officially set off in three days!"

Then, Zhou Xun returned to his cave and came to a stone wall.
With both hands clasped together, a beam of spiritual light shot forward.
The stone wall strangely rolled up, and soon a stone door was revealed.
Gently push it open, and a stone chamber about 70 to 80 meters in size appears before your eyes.

There is also a teleportation array inside.

It is the long-distance teleportation array connecting Donghuang and Dajin!

The next thing he had to do was to take out this magic circle and set it up after arriving at Jiangling Prefecture.

After a moment's thought, I found the best migration solution.

He stood up, quickly formed seals with his hands, and cast a series of spells into the teleportation array.

The teleportation array began to tremble slightly, emitting bursts of light.

Then, a crystal-clear, dreamlike crystal rose up. It was the "Xuankong Crystal".
Take out a jade box and carefully put it in it.

Then, the entire array base was dismantled one by one, totaling one thousand and eighty pieces of spiritual jade.

Keep it properly and rearrange it once he settles down in Jiangling Prefecture.

Three days passed in a flash, and Zhou Xun walked out of the training room.

When I arrived in front of the insect room, I saw the Dark Fantasy Butterfly and the Thousand-Response Insect each occupying a place and sleeping soundly.

With a thought, the two insects flew up and then flew into the spirit insect bag on his waist.

"Owner!"

Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia bowed and saluted.
"Next, we will leave here." He briefly described his next plan and put the two beasts into the spirit beast bag.
Left the cave.

At this time, Tianci Zhenjun and Wang Erniu were also waiting outside. After greeting them, the three of them left the residential area and walked towards the teleportation hall.

Their next destination is Jiangling Prefecture!
