Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 798: The villain has no pearls and offends his beloved disciple!
"Before I knew it, I have been in Luoyang Continent for almost ten years!"

In the training room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, feeling emotional. If it weren't for this place, he wouldn't have used the elixir of life that he had nurtured for five years to improve his incarnation's spiritual roots.

"Hey, I didn't expect it to be so useful!"

"In the future, this incarnation will also reach a sensitivity of 100 points one day!"

With a thought, a red ginseng plant about one foot long floated in front of Zhou Xun.
Its surface was filled with spiritual energy and sparkling light, and a strong fire spiritual energy emanated from it.
It was the fourth-grade medium-quality Flame Sun Ginseng that he personally sacrificed five years ago. It was an extremely precious spiritual medicine with fire attribute.

Now, after five years of cultivation, he has successfully reached the fourth level of excellence.

It can be said to be otherworldly.

Looking at this spiritual ginseng, Zhou Xun 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 pointed his finger at Yan Yang Shen. Immediately, the surrounding vital energy was attracted and gathered together.

Soon, a green light appeared above the Lingyun Snow Lotus, 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.

"Next, we need to check the changes in our spiritual root qualifications!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a four or five foot-sized

The treasure that is shaped like a sundial is exactly the spirit-measuring disk.

Then, Zhou Xun placed his hands on the spirit-testing plate and activated it with magic spells.

A ray of light flashed, Zhou Xun looked at the spirit board and smiled slightly:
"Thunder Spirit Root Sensitivity is 81 points,"

Then he recited the mantra of "Purple Thunder Art", absorbed the spiritual energy, and guided it to circulate in the Great Circulation.
Eventually it turned into spiritual power and merged into the Nascent Soul in Dantian...

An hour later, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes and looked inward.

Realize the changes in yourself,

"Yes, although it is only a slight improvement, the bonus to the cultivation speed is not slow!"

However, for him who now has the "Frost Dew" in his hand, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

After finishing his training, Zhou Xun stopped practicing, stood up and walked to the courtyard.

"Master, you are out of retreat!"

I saw a girl about ten years old riding on the back of a four-legged beast, slowly walking towards me.

It was Yu Siyue. She had only been practicing for a year, but she was already halfway to the second level of Qi training.

As for the spirit beast under her, it was naturally the "Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast" that had undergone some transformation.

Then a shadow fell from the sky and fell into Zhou Xun's arms.
"Master, you haven't come out for half a year. Why do you need to be in seclusion for half a year? I'm almost at the third level of Qi training!"

Yu Siyue couldn't help but act coquettishly,
Zhou Xun touched Yu Siyue's head lovingly and said with a smile:

"I have gained a lot from this retreat, although it naturally took a long time. Your cultivation speed is not slow, and I am very pleased."

After checking it out, Zhou Xun was very satisfied.

Then, Zhou Xun began to personally explain the problems of cultivation to Yu Siyue.

……

At the same time, in the Ten Thousand Poison Caverns, which is more than 100,000 miles away from Qinghefang,

I don't know how many miles deep,
A chilly aura quietly spread, as if something was awakening deep underground.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is one of the most dangerous forbidden areas on Luoyang Continent. It is shrouded in poisonous fog all year round, and even cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage dare not step into it easily.

However, at this moment, bursts of low roars could be heard faintly from the depths of the cave, as if countless poisonous insects and beasts were restless.

"boom--"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from deep in the cave, and the entire cave shook.

Immediately afterwards, a thick poisonous fog gushed out from the ground and spread rapidly.

……

After finishing the explanation, Zhou Xun sent Yu Siyue away. A little girl of this age was very lively and active, and even Zhou Xun could not handle it.

After getting Zhou Xun's consent, Yu Siyue rode the transformed "Green Water and Golden Eyes Beast" out to the forest outside the market.

Zhou Xun knew the ability of the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast very well. He knew that it could deal with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, so he had no intention of confining it.

Yu Siyue sat on the back of the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast, leisurely strolling in the mountains and forests.
"Daddy usually doesn't let me out, so today I finally have the chance to come here and take a look!"

Yu Siyue was at an age when she was lively and active, and with a spirit beast as a mount, she could no longer suppress her inner restlessness and wanted to explore the outskirts of the market town.

Jinshui is a fourth-level demon king, and he is fearless.

In Qinghefang, the strongest person is only in the middle stage of foundation building. To him, he is just a stronger ant.

If someone can be killed with ease, naturally no one would care.

Taking Yu Siyue through the forest and trees, it was so unpleasant, leaving behind a series of silver bell sounds...

"what sound?"

the other side,
Hu Yuan, the third son of the Hu family, also came to the forest with several servants. He came here to search for a magical medicine.
The Hu family is one of the three major foundation-building families in Qingyuefang, and the ancestor is at the peak of the middle stage of foundation-building.

"Sir, it seems...it seems to be a little girl!"

A gray-haired old man next to him spoke.

"Little girl, this is the Cold Miasma Forest. Only cultivators at the middle stage of Qi training or above can come in. How could a little girl appear here?" Hu Yuan naturally didn't believe it.

"Sir, I hear she is just a little girl too!" another person also said so.

After two people spoke like this in a row, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Let's go over and have a look!"

After passing through a dense forest, Hu Yuan's vision suddenly became clear.

Not far away, a girl about ten years old was riding on the back of a four-legged spirit beast, leisurely shuttling through the woods. The spirit beast was small in size, and its body was azure blue. Its scales shone lightly in the sun, making it look extremely extraordinary.

Hu Yuan's attention was instantly attracted by the spirit beast.

Although he was young, as the third son of the Hu family, he was naturally knowledgeable. He could tell at a glance that the spirit beast was no ordinary creature and might even be the cub of some high-level demon beast.

"This little girl actually has such a spiritual beast!" Hu Yuan was secretly surprised, and then a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

But his family's teachings over the years prevented him from taking direct action.
"How could such a precious spiritual beast fall into the hands of a child? Could it be that some powerful disciple came here to play?"

But the spirit beast made him unable to stop, "If I can have such a spirit beast, the position of the head of the family is not impossible!"

Thinking of this, he decided to find out first. This girl is so young, she probably can't keep any secrets.

Thinking of this, Hu Yuan no longer hesitated and walked over alone.

"Little sister, where are you from? How come you are playing alone in this cold miasma forest and lost your way?" Hu Yuan smiled and asked in a friendly manner.

Yu Siyue heard the voice, turned around, and saw Hu Yuan and his group, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Although she was young, her mind was much more mature than her peers. She had a vague feeling that the man in front of her was a bit unkind.
"I just came out to have fun!" Yu Siyue replied calmly, with a hint of alienation in her tone.

"Xiao Jin, let's go!"

Hu Yuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stood in front of him with a smile on his face: "Little sister, this cold miasma forest is not safe. It is not safe for you to leave alone. So tell me where your home is and I will take you back!"

Yu Siyue shook her head and said, "No need, I have Xiao Jin to accompany me!"

As for the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast, a hint of amusement flashed in its eyes at this moment.
The young man in front of him was really bold. Yu Siyue was the master's most beloved disciple, but he dared to provoke a Qi-cultivating cultivator. This was a good opportunity to teach Xiaoyue a lesson and let her know how treacherous human hearts are!

So I was happy to watch the show!
Just as Hu Yuan was thinking about what to do next, one of his men recognized Yu Siyue's identity.
"Sir, I recognize her. Is this girl the daughter of Yu Xingjian from Xizhu Garden in our market?"

"Yu Xingjian?" Hu Yuan was puzzled, but soon someone explained it to him.

"He is just a wine taster!" the attendant continued.

Hearing this, Hu Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally cautious attitude turned into a playful one.
It turns out that he is from Qinghefang. So he has the upper hand!
"Little sister, it turns out that you are Yu Xingjian's daughter,
There was a hint of contempt in Hu Yuan's tone, and the smile on his face became a little playful.

He was originally worried that there was some powerful person backing Yu Siyue, but now that he knew that she was just the daughter of a winemaker in the market, his worries instantly disappeared.

"Little sister, since you are Yu Xingjian's daughter, we are acquaintances."

Hu Yuan pretended to be friendly, but a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, "Your spirit beast looks good, why don't you lend it to me for a few days?"

Yu Siyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and became more alert. Although she was young, she could hear the ill intentions in Hu Yuan's words. She looked at Hu Yuan coldly and said, "Xiao Jin is my partner, and I won't lend it to anyone."

Seeing that he was no longer able to be soft, Hu Yuan's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He snorted coldly and said, "Little girl, don't be ungrateful! This spirit beast of yours has my fancy. If you know what's best for you, hand it over obediently. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Yu Siyue's heart tightened, but she did not panic. Instead, she patted the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast under her and whispered, "Xiao Jin, let's go!"

Upon hearing Yu Siyue's order, the Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast immediately let out a low growl, and with a flash of its body, it galloped away into the depths of the forest.

Hu Yuan was furious when he saw this, and shouted, "Chase her! Don't let that little girl get away!"

The servants behind him immediately spread out and chased in the direction where Yu Siyue fled.

However, the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast was extremely fast. Even in this dense forest, it was still as fast as walking on flat ground. In the blink of an eye, it left Hu Yuan and the others far behind.

Hu Yuan was shocked and angry when he saw this. He didn't expect that the speed of the spirit beast was so fast that even cultivators like them who were in the late stage of Qi training couldn't catch up.

"Damn little girl, I actually let her run away!" Hu Yuan said gritting his teeth.

"Yu's house, let's go to Yu's house!"

……

On the other side, Yu Siyue rode the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast and galloped all the way until she was sure that she had left Hu Yuan and the others behind, then she slowly stopped.

"Xiao Jin, it's all thanks to you just now!" Yu Siyue patted the head of the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast and said with a smile.

The Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast roared, with a trace of disdain flashing in its eyes. To it, Hu Yuan and the others were just like ants, not worth mentioning at all.

Yu Siyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she was secretly alert in her heart. She knew that she was a little rash this time. If it weren't for Xiao Jin, she might really be in danger.

"It seems that I still have to listen to Master in the future and not run around casually." Yu Siyue thought to herself, then patted the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast and said, "Xiao Jin, let's go back."

The Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast nodded, then carried Yu Siyue and galloped towards Qinghefang.

……

After returning to Qinghefang, the Green Water Golden Eyed Beast told Zhou Xun everything that had happened today.

After hearing this, Zhou Xun didn't change much. He was just a kid in the Qi Refining Stage. Yu Siyue was protected by a Fourth-Level Demon King, so naturally there wouldn't be any problems.

This is a good opportunity for me to use this incident to give my disciple some experience.

Sure enough, not long after, Hu Yuan and a group of servants arrived at the door of Yu's house.

He stood in front of the door with a smile on his face, and ordered his men, "Please ask Master Yu to come out and tell him that Mr. Hu has a business deal to discuss with him!"

Soon, Yu Xingjian came out with a puzzled look on his face, came to Hu Yuan, bowed slightly and said,
"I wonder what important matter has the Third Young Master come here for?"

"It turns out to be Master Yu. Hu is honored!"

Hu Yuan bowed in a serious manner and returned the greeting, then said with a smile:
"Hu came here today to buy something from Master Yu. Of course, the spiritual stones are negotiable!"

"Buying something?" Yu Xingjian was quite puzzled. What could a mediocre winemaker like him have that was worthy of Yu Xingjian's attention?

"Does your daughter have a spiritual beast in her hand? I like it very much. Please don't hesitate to give it to me, Master Yu!" Hu Yuan said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Yu Xingjian frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and said:
"Third Young Master, you don't know that this beast does not belong to me, but was given to me by someone else..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.

The smile on Hu Yuan's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of coldness. He narrowed his eyes and said threateningly, "Master Yu, are you giving my Hu family no face?"

Yu Xingjian's heart tightened, and he quickly explained, "Third Young Master, I have absolutely no such intention! It's just... it's just that the spirit beast is indeed not mine, but was given to me by my daughter's master. I really have no right to make the decision."

Hu Yuan snorted coldly, with a hint of impatience in his tone: "Yu Xingjian, don't be ungrateful! My Hu family is willing to pay a high price to buy it, which is already giving you enough face. If you don't know what's good for you, I'm afraid you won't have an easy life in Qinghefang in the future.

After saying this, he waved his hand and several of his subordinates took Yu Xingjian away.

At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Let my dad go!"

Yu Xingjian was shocked when he heard this, and looked back, only to see Yu Siyue walking out of the house with a bit of stubbornness and anger on her face. Behind her, the little beast transformed from the Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast followed lazily, with a hint of disdain in its eyes.

When Hu Yuan saw the little beast behind Yu Siyue, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes. He sneered and said, "Little girl, if you transfer this spirit beast to me today, I will let your family go. Otherwise..."

He winked at his subordinates.
The subordinate understood and immediately exerted force, causing Yu Xingjian to groan.
"Daddy!"

Yu Siyue's eyes were filled with tears as she glared at Hu Yuan standing beside her. She then looked reluctantly at the Jade Water Golden Eyed Beast.

"Let my father go, Xiao Jin... I'll let Xiao Jin go to you!"

"Hahaha, the little girl is quite sensible about current affairs!"

Hu Yuan laughed, took out a spiritual stone and stuffed it into Yu Xingjian's arms.
Then he prepared to leave with the "Green Water and Golden Eyed Beast".

At this moment, a young figure blocked the door.
Seeing this person, Yu Siyue's grievances burst out instantly.
"Master——"
