Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 754: Time flies, Blood Demon advances!

“If we can really train two sword cultivators to become gods before the ghost tribe invades, perhaps we can recreate that scene!”

Liu Bai thought to himself.

He knew very well that the reason the ghost clan had made a comeback was definitely because the Ghost Emperor had recovered from his injuries.

In the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, with the current strength of the human world, it would probably be difficult to resist, and he also didn't believe that Fang Jiuzun would really sacrifice himself for the human race.

He sighed and turned his attention to Wang Erniu in front of him.
"Erniu, your next task is to fully comprehend the way of the sword and strive to reach the peak of the Nascent Soul as soon as possible!"

"As for your cultivation, you don't have to worry. Jianhu Palace will fully support your advancement!"

As he spoke, he glanced around, opened his palm, took out a three-inch jade bottle, and placed it in front of Wang Erniu.

"There is a drop of soul-enriching condensed dew in here that can help you reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes, thank you, Master!" Wang Erniu took it.

He also recognized this item. Zhou Xun had relied on this treasure to quickly reach the peak of the initial stage, and then broke through to the middle stage in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, he was also lucky enough to get this treasure!
Wang Erniu took a deep breath, solemnly took the jade bottle, and knelt on one knee, "I will live up to Master's expectations and practice hard in seclusion to achieve a breakthrough soon!"

Liu Bai nodded slightly, his eyes full of expectation, "Go ahead, you will practice in Jianhu Palace in the next period of time. Even if you leave, you must tell your master first."

"Yes, disciple, I obey!"

Then, Liu Baiye left the forbidden area and came outside.

As for Liu He, he turned into an old man again. Now the news of Liu Bai's reappearance has to be kept secret, so as the great elder, he naturally has to continue.

Returning to the main hall again, the elders were still waiting there.
"How is it?" asked the white-haired old man.

Hearing this, True Lord Qingfeng took a deep breath, and his thoughts could not help but return to the scene just now when Sword God Liu Bai appeared.
Then he nodded heavily:
"Yes, Wang Erniu is indeed the master's direct disciple!"

Then he looked at the great elder Liu He in disbelief.
Liu He also nodded solemnly.

Since the Sect Master and the Great Elder have both personally certified this, there must be nothing wrong with this matter.

The white-haired old man trembled when he heard this, his eyes instantly turned red, and his cloudy eyes instantly glowed with a bright light. His lips trembled violently, and his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white due to the force.

"Really...it's really the ancestor. The ancestor is still alive!" The white-haired old man choked with sobs, with uncontrollable excitement.
"There is finally hope for my Jianhu Palace!"

He muttered to himself, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he had seen through numerous obstacles and the glorious splendor of Jianhu Palace in the past.

Recalling the countless difficulties and obstacles faced by Jianhu Palace after the disappearance of Sword God Liu Bai, it was suppressed by other forces, its territory continued to shrink, and the morale of the disciples became increasingly low.

And now, Liu Bai's direct disciple has appeared in the world, which is like a ray of light, illuminating the dark future of Jianhu Palace.

As long as Sword God Liu Bai is still around, their Jianhu Palace will still be the mighty Huashen sect that once dominated the world.

As for the other elders, they were also infected by the emotions of the white-haired old man. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became warm and there was a gleam of hope in everyone's eyes.

Their Jianhu Palace has been silent for too long!

An elder in a gray robe was the first to react, his voice excited:
"Since Wang Erniu is the disciple of the ancestor himself, then the position of the Holy Son should be taken by him. If anyone has any objections, please ask the sword in my hand first!"

"I have no objection!"

"I do not have either!"

Almost in an instant, all the elders were united, even the young elder at the beginning.

So from this moment on, Wang Erniu officially took the position of the Holy Son of Jianhu Palace.

True Lord Qingfeng showed a look of relief. He glanced at the elders and said loudly:

"In this case, from today on, Wang Erniu will be the Holy Son of Jianhu Palace and enjoy all the treatment and privileges of the Holy Son. All elders, you must do your best to assist the Holy Son in his cultivation and not slack off in the slightest."

The elders clasped their fists and responded in unison: "We will follow the orders of the Sect Master!"

According to the rules of Jianhu Palace, the Holy Son said that the contemporary God Transformation Seed can be fully cultivated by the sect until he successfully breaks through to the God Transformation stage, or voluntarily resigns and passes away!
At the same time, there will be two elders with great monk combat power who will serve as protectors to guard the left and right.

After deciding this matter, Wang Erniu went to Shengzi Peak to practice. This was the best training ground in Jianhu Palace, second only to Jianshen Peak.

Shengzi Peak, Wang Erniu carefully looked at this Taoist temple. He saw that the mountain peak was towering into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it seemed to be materialized.
Wisps of spiritual energy are like nimble fish, swimming through the air.

"Fourth-level superior quality!"

Wang Erniu was surprised.
"It would be great if Big Brother could come here to practice!"

But he knew that this was impossible. Jianhu Palace would not allow an outsider to enter the core area of ​​Shengzi Peak to practice.

Unless the Sword God appears and gives the order personally.

On the top of the mountain, an ancient palace stands quietly, with green bricks and tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, reflecting a faint golden light under the sunlight.

Wang Erniu walked in slowly, chose a side hall, and sat cross-legged.

With a wave of his hand, he took out the jade bottle, which contained the "Spirit Condensation Dew".
After removing the cork, a drop of crystal clear dew slowly rose from the jade bottle, flashing colorful light in the dim light.

Wang Erniu opened his mouth and inhaled. The soul-enriching dew instantly turned into a stream of light, flowing down his throat and into his dantian. In an instant, a powerful spiritual power exploded in his body.
Filling the meridians, Wang Erniu practiced the Tianyuan Sword Technique, guiding this spiritual power to circulate in the meridians and began to slowly refine it.

At the same time, in Jiangling Prefecture Cave Mansion,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged in the practice room, took out the condensed frost dew and swallowed it, then began to practice slowly.
Three days later, when he opened his eyes again, it meant that he had successfully converted this drop of frost dew into cultivation.

Looking inward, he couldn't help but smile. As expected, his cultivation had improved a bit, and he was a lot closer to the peak of the middle stage.

After finishing his training, Zhou Xun summoned the Thunder Pool again and began to temper his body with lightning.

So from then on, Zhou Xun's daily life was to practice, refine his body, draw talismans, or perform banquet puppetry.
As for alchemy,

At his level, it would take several years or even decades to accumulate a furnace of fourth-grade intermediate elixirs.
Therefore, it is not so easy to start the furnace.

In addition, every six months, he would go to Jinyuan Pavilion to inquire about the essence of the demon king's heart and blood.
If you are lucky, you can purchase more than ten species. If you are unlucky, you may only get one or two, or even none at all.

In this way, time passed day by day,
Before I knew it, another five years had passed.

In the training room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground with a sharp gaze.

I saw him making hand gestures, muttering something, and then pointing at myself!
A flash of light appeared, and then a Ganoderma lucidum about one foot long with a stem as white as jade floated in front of Zhou Xun.

It was the fourth-grade intermediate spiritual medicine he had nurtured before, Xuan Yuzhi, but now it had reached the peak of the fourth-grade upper grade!
As soon as Xuan Yuzhi came out, an extremely strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, filling the entire training room. When Zhou Xun inhaled it slightly into his nose, he felt his mind lifted, and his magic power and spiritual awareness seemed to have increased.

It is indeed a fourth-level top-grade elixir, and its effects are extremely powerful!
"If it wasn't for the ability to improve my spiritual roots, I really wouldn't want to condense it!"

A fourth-grade, high-quality spiritual medicine is something that even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would be jealous of.
Now five years have passed. According to previous experience, Xuan Yuzhi only needs one last upgrade to be promoted to the fourth-level extreme.

Zhou Xun reached for the storage bag at his waist, and a ray of light flew out and landed in front of him.

It turned into a one-foot-long wooden box with a third-level soul-sealing talisman pasted on the surface.

With a light wave, the soul-sealing talisman automatically fell, and then the lid of the box opened automatically, revealing a third-grade top-grade purple jade flower.

The moment the box was opened, the spiritual energy within a radius of dozens of feet began to gather towards the purple jade flower, making him look radiant!
"A third-grade, top-grade spiritual medicine worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones!"

"If I can't help Xuan Yuzhi get promoted, then I will lose a lot!" Zhou Xun shook his head.
Then, without hesitation, he performed the mantra of "Ningchun Sutra" and pointed it at the purple jade flower!
"boom!--"

Suddenly, a green light floated out from the purple jade flower.

Under the control of the incarnation, the light spot moved towards the natal spiritual plant Xuan Yuzhi.

The moment the light spot touched Xuan Yuzhi, it melted into it.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Xuan Yuzhi plant emitted a emerald green light, just like an icy jadeite!
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yuzhi began to absorb the green energy and became more energetic. It was visibly sublimating.
I do not know how long it has been,

suddenly,

An astonishing fragrance dissipated, and the Xuan Yuzhi was seen to have grown a little bit bigger, with a spiritual charm flowing on its surface, which was extremely extraordinary!
"This is a top-grade fourth-level product!"

Zhou Xun was delighted. Although this scene had happened countless times, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he experienced it again.

Then, he took Xuan Yuzhi into his body without hesitation, and then stood up and walked towards another room, where was the teleportation array leading to the cave on the island in the middle of the lake.

Zhou Xun stepped on it without hesitation. With a flash of white light, he disappeared into the room.
Three days later,
The teleportation array lights up again.

Zhou Xun's figure appeared again.

This time, with the help of this Xuanyuzhi, the spiritual root of the body was improved again, and now the sensitivity of the wood spiritual root has reached 96 points.
Only four points left to one hundred!
By then, we will know what changes will occur after 100 points. Zhou Xun is looking forward to it very much.

Time flies, and another two years have passed.
On this day, in the training room,
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, and next to his body, there were seven or eight third-level top-quality puppet beasts scattered around.

Some look like apes, some look like lizards, and some look like tigers, all different.

In the past few years, in addition to body training and talisman making, Zhou Xun focused his main energy on the fourth-level puppetry. Finally, three years ago, he began to try to refine it.

It's a pity that after spending countless precious materials, it still fell short in the end. Every time I refined it, I only got the third-grade upper grade.

Today, he plans to try again.

Zhou Xun took out a piece of fourth-level monster bone, and then cast a spell. A bright yellow flame instantly melted the material.

Then, under the control of Zhou Xun's spiritual consciousness, it began to pull and deform, and finally turned into a strange piece.

Zhou Xun performed this process more than a hundred times in total.

Finally, a prototype of a leopard-like puppet was completed.

The next and most important part - Soul Fusion!
Zhou Xun took out a jade bottle and used the soul-drawing technique.

A leopard-like gray shadow was pulled out. This was the fourth-level low-grade demon soul he purchased, and its memory had been erased.

Only the fighting instinct remains. Once it is successfully integrated into the puppet prototype, it can be refined successfully.

As soon as the demon soul came out, it wanted to escape, but unfortunately under Zhou Xun's control, it could only slowly approach the puppet.
Then he struggled to merge into the puppet.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's magic spell changed, and rays of spiritual light hit the puppet.

I don’t know how long it took, but a harmonious and mellow atmosphere came out!

Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief!

The fourth-grade low-grade puppet was successfully refined, which also meant that from today on, he officially became a fourth-grade low-grade puppeteer.

"Although this puppet is a bit expensive, the material cost of each one is more than tens of millions of spirit stones!"

"But as long as there are enough materials, we can continue to refine it. From this point of view, it is extremely worthwhile!"

The reason why he refined these puppets was mainly for Donghuang and for his disciples.

As the current situation continues,
In the future, the ghost tribe will definitely invade in full force. By then, no one in the entire human world will be able to stay out of it. Therefore, before that, we should continue to accumulate strength.
But it is not so easy to achieve the Nascent Soul stage.
It would be better for him to refine a batch of fourth-order puppets in advance, and then cooperate with the fourth-order warships, which might improve their survivability.

After refining one,
After Zhou Xun took a pill of recovery pill, he rested for half a day and then began to refine the second one.

While we are at it, we should transform all the materials on hand into puppet beasts as soon as possible.

Just like this, three months passed.
The second fourth-level puppet was successfully refined.
Just as it was preparing to continue refining the third statue,
suddenly--

There was a strange movement in the blood demon bag.
Zhou Xun's heart moved!
He slapped the blood bag with his hand, and five blood demons turned into red lights and flew out, hovering in front of Zhou Xun.

At this time, the Blood Demon was extremely powerful. He was wearing blood-colored armor, surrounded by blood light, and black runes all over his body. He was more than ten feet tall.

At this point, it might be more appropriate to call them Blood Demons!
Zhou Xun flicked his finger, and a stream of purple energy hit Jia Yi's arm.

"Ding!"

Then there was a crisp sound.

"Yes, it is indeed the lower grade of the fourth level!" Zhou Xun was extremely satisfied.

Then, he tested the remaining four blood demons again, and sure enough, all of them reached the lower level of the fourth stage.

This means that at this time, they can deal with early Nascent Soul cultivators alone without being at a disadvantage based on their own abilities.

Looking at the five tall figures in front of him, Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

He led them straight out of Jiangling City and came to a deserted mountain tens of thousands of miles away.

He wanted to test their true strength and see what level they could reach after performing the Blood Demon Combined Attack Secret Technique!
