Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 800 Zhou Xun takes action and uncovers the secret of poisonous insects!
Zhou Xun's expression suddenly became serious.

He raised his head and looked towards the northeast, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. The riot in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was by no means accidental.

Those overwhelming poisonous insects were obviously driven by some force to pour out of the cave on such a large scale.

"A riot in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave?" Yu Xingjian's face turned pale instantly when he heard the screams in the market.

Although he was a winemaker, he had also heard of the evil reputation of the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons. It was a forbidden area that even Nascent Soul cultivators did not dare to enter easily, and now there was a riot!
"Master, where is the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons?" Yu Siyue grabbed Zhou Xun's sleeve tightly, with curiosity and worry in her eyes.

Zhou Xun looked down at her and said in a serious tone:

"The Ten Thousand Poison Cave is one of the most dangerous forbidden areas on Luoyang Continent. It is shrouded in poisonous fog all year round, and is home to countless poisonous insects and beasts. Now that the cave is rioting and the poisonous insects are pouring out, I'm afraid the entire Qinghefang will be in danger."

Yu Siyue heard this, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes: "Then...then what should we do?"

Zhou Xun patted her head gently, his tone gentle but firm: "Don't be afraid, I am here, go home with your father first, close the doors and windows, and don't come out."

Yu Siyue nodded. Although she was still a little uneasy, she believed that her master would be able to resolve the current crisis.

Yu Xingjian also hurried forward and took Yu Siyue's hand: "Siyue, let's go home first."

Yu Siyue nodded obediently and left quickly with her father.

……

After Zhou Xun watched Yu Siyue and her daughter leave, he patted his waist, took out a set of fourth-level low-grade magic array, and threw it lightly.
Instantly, a green translucent light shield enveloped the two caves together.
With the addition of the power of gold and water, Yu Siyue is safe.

At this time, Zhou Xun turned and looked towards the northeast. At this time, the black cloud was getting closer and closer, and the buzzing sound of poisonous insects had even reached the sky above Qinghefang.

"Hey, Zhou kid, this is your chance!"

Suddenly, the excited voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor rang in my ears.
"Senior, do you know its origin?" Zhou Xun asked in surprise.

"Some guesses!" The Blood Demon Ancestor paused and continued:

"This Ten Thousand Poison Cave must have been created by the old man Ten Thousand Poison. He has a poisonous insect that is his lifeblood. Although its rank is not high, it is only at the level of a spirit transformation."

"But the toxicity it secretes is so strong that even I wouldn't dare touch it back then!"

"Since I can buy goods in the Blood God God Realm, this old man Wan Du may still be alive."

"The riot in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave might be caused by his poisonous insects!"

"If you go deeper into it and take away the poisonous insect, wouldn't that be an extra killer weapon for nothing?"

As he said this, the Blood Demon Ancestor laughed.

"The poison of this insect was so strong that even the seniors did not dare to get involved. How can a junior who is only at the Nascent Soul stage dare to get close to it?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "Zhou boy, you are too cautious. Even I have ended up like this."

"The old man Wan Du must be even worse, not to mention his own poisonous insects. I'm afraid their cultivation has regressed and there are only a few left."

“But with the power of that insect, even if it falls to the Nascent Soul stage, it still poses a great threat to the Divine Transformation cultivators!”

When Zhou Xun heard this, a hint of thought flashed across his eyes.

"If we can really get a method that can threaten a pair of gods, it is worth taking the risk. Moreover, judging from our interactions over the years,

"The Blood Demon Ancestor is not a reckless person. Now the relationship between the two of us is one of mutual success and mutual loss."

Finally, Zhou Xun decided to take this trip.
If I can really get that poisonous insect, it will be worth the trip!

So he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"In that case, I will go to the Ten Thousand Poison Cavern!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon Ancestor spoke with some approval:

"That's more like it! Zhou kid, don't worry, with me here, you'll be safe."

Zhou Xun nodded, then he flashed and rushed towards the 'black cloud'.

At the same time, in the meeting hall of Luoyang Immortal Sect,
Six old men gathered together to discuss something.
If Zhou Xun were here, he might be able to recognize two of them, the Second Elder and the Fifth Elder.
The second elder glanced at everyone present and slowly said:

"I'm sure you all know about the riot in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. This time, the poisonous insects came out in droves, and the scale is unprecedented. If it is allowed to spread, I'm afraid the entire Qingyang Prefecture and even the surrounding areas will be in danger."

The Third Elder frowned and said in a deep voice, "Brother, this matter is indeed strange. Although the Ten Thousand Poison Cavern is a forbidden area, it has been peaceful for many years. I am afraid there is another hidden reason behind this riot."

The fifth elder nodded and agreed, "Yes, although there are many poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, they have been trapped in the cave and never go out!"

The fourth elder who was sitting nearby pondered for a moment and said, "Sect Master, this matter is of great importance. Should we send people to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to investigate? If we can find the source of the riot, perhaps we can resolve this crisis."

The second elder nodded and glanced at everyone: "What do you think?"

The fourth elder stroked his beard and said slowly, "It is indeed necessary to explore the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, but this place is extremely dangerous. Even Yuanying cultivators dare not easily step into it. If you want to send someone there, they must be very powerful!"

The Sixth Elder snorted coldly, with a bit of disdain in his tone: "It's just a poisonous insect, what's the point of mentioning it? In my opinion, you and I should mobilize the army and wipe out all the poisonous insects in the cave."

"What kind of forbidden land is that? What kind of waves can it cause in front of my Immortal Sect!"

The Third Elder shook his head and retorted, "Brother, you are wrong. The number of poisonous insects in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is huge, and their toxicity is extremely strong. A rash action will only increase casualties. In my opinion, this matter needs to be carefully considered."

The Second Elder pondered for a moment and said slowly, "What the Third Elder said makes sense. The Ten Thousand Poison Cavern is extremely dangerous. We have not been able to find out the details over the years, so we naturally cannot send out a large army rashly!"

"In my opinion, we should send an elite team to investigate. If we can find the source of the riot, we can make plans."

Then he looked at the Fifth Elder and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, your Fiery Sun and Fire Mirror has a restraining effect on poisonous insects. How about you lead the team in this matter?"

The fifth elder nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother trusts me, I will go on this trip!"

Zhou Xun turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards the overwhelming "black cloud". The closer he got, the stronger the stench in the air became.
The buzzing sound was deafening, as if it would burst one's eardrums.

When Zhou Xun entered the range of the "black cloud", countless poisonous insects pounced on him instantly, densely packed like a surging black tide.

These poisonous insects have various shapes, some are covered with sharp thorns, some have disgusting green mucus dripping from their mouthparts, and wherever they go, the space seems to be corroded with traces of it.

Zhou Xun's eyes flashed, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. A layer of lightning spiritual power instantly surged around his body, forming a lightning shield.

Lightning flashed, and the approaching poisonous insects touched the shield and were instantly struck by the lightning, making crackling sounds and dissipating into black smoke. "Zhou boy, be careful. Although these poisonous insects are not strong individually, there are too many of them, and their toxicity is strange. Don't take it lightly." The voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor sounded in Zhou Xun's mind.

While controlling the lightning shield to ward off the poisonous insects, Zhou Xun flew towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

As they went deeper, the density of the poisonous insects not only did not decrease, but became even denser, and Zhou Xun's spiritual power was consumed faster and faster.

"What the hell is this place called the Ten Thousand Poison Cave? How come there are so many poisonous insects?" Zhou Xun frowned slightly.
This consumption of his spiritual energy is indeed not small.

"Hmph, this won't work." Zhou Xun snorted coldly. He slapped his storage bag and took out several high-level talismans.

These talismans were made from the skins of ferocious beasts he had used before.

Each one is as high as the fourth-grade intermediate quality!

Zhou Xun activated the talisman, and instantly, a huge flame burst out and shot forward.

Wherever it passed, all poisonous insects disappeared.
Then, a passage several dozen feet wide appeared in the black cloud, and Zhou Xun sped along this passage.

When it had been flying for a full hour,
suddenly--

A trace of vigilance flashed through Zhou Xun's mind, and he paused.
The next moment, a black light passed through more than ten feet in front of him, and then a black dragon several dozen feet long appeared.

"This is a fourth-level poisonous dragon!"

Zhou Xun's eyes were fixed on the fourth-level poisonous dragon in front of him, which was emitting a strong stench.
Its body was like a black hill, and its scales were flashing with a cold light, as if it could shoot out at any time and turn into a deadly weapon.

"Boy Zhou, be careful! The poison of this poisonous dragon is extremely strong. Once you are hit by it, even if you have thunder spiritual power to protect your body, it will be very dangerous!" The anxious voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor echoed in Zhou Xun's mind.

Zhou Xun took a deep breath and quickly changed the spell in his hands. The lightning shield instantly expanded several times.
Then he made a hand gesture with his left hand, pointed at the poisonous dragon, and shouted softly,
"fall!"

"Boom——"

A blue-purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket appeared out of nowhere and shot down towards the poisonous dragon.

Even though it was just an ordinary attack, it was also at the Nascent Soul level!
The enormous power destroyed all the poisonous insects within a hundred feet around!
"Roar--"

The poisonous dragon raised its head and roared, and then the horn on its head flashed.
next moment,
A thicker black light shot up into the sky and instantly collided with Zhou Xun's lightning.
"boom--"

There was a loud noise.

The aftermath of the collision turned into heat waves that spread in all directions, destroying all the poisonous insects around.

Thousands of feet of space were empty.
Zhou Xun naturally did not expect to kill the poisonous dragon in front of him with just one strike.

As the thunderbolt sounded, he reached down to his waist with his hand.

A three-foot-long, purple-blue flying sword appeared in his hand. It was his 'Xuan Ting Thunder Sword'.
Although this sword is only of the upper-grade magic weapon level, it can exert great power when combined with his Tianyuan Sword Technique.
The moment the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand,

Zhou Xun made a gesture with one hand and pointed at the sword.
At the same time, sword lights instantly separated and enveloped Zhou Xun.
After careful counting, there are actually 720 of them.
Flying around Zhou Xun up and down,

"Sword Shadow Becomes One"

A soft drink,
These sword lights were like birds returning to their nests, merging into the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword one by one. With every merge, the power of the Thunder Sword increased a point!
The entire thunder sword became extremely bright, just like a lightsaber!
"go"

Point towards the poisonous dragon,
The Xuan Ting Thunder Sword turned into a purple light, cut through the sky and shot forward!

The poisonous dragon also reacted extremely quickly. Its body lay flat on the ground, and its black dragon tail suddenly swung forward. Its hard scales collided with the purple sword, making a harsh metal friction sound and sparks flying everywhere.

cut!
Zhou Xun raised his left hand and swung it fiercely.
The Xuan Ting Thunder Sword emitted a purple light and chopped down with it!
"laugh--"

There was a sound of metal entering flesh, and then the dozens of feet long dragon tail flew high up and was actually cut in two.

But this is not over yet,
The Xuanting Thunder Sword that cut off the dragon's tail drew an eight-shaped figure in the air, turned around, and shot towards the dragon's head.

At this time, the poisonous dragon's tail was broken and it was in pain.
Suddenly, a purple light flashed.
The huge sword tip appeared in front of him in an instant.
next moment,
"laugh--"

With a sound like a needle piercing a ball, the Black Thunder Sword pierced through its head, killing the poisonous dragon instantly.

Zhou Xun waved his hand.
An invisible force lifted the poisonous dragon up and put it into Zhou Xun's storage bag. Then it turned into a purple light again and rushed towards the entrance of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

All this, from the sneak attack by the poisonous dragon to Zhou Xun killing it and leaving, took less than ten breaths.

"Zhou boy, it seems that your strength has improved again!" The Blood Demon Ancestor exclaimed in amazement.

A dignified fourth-grade mid-level poisonous dragon couldn't even last two rounds in Zhou Xun's hands.

"It's just an ordinary species!"

"But what's strange is how a poisonous dragon could appear in this Ten Thousand Poison Cave. It looks like it has not awakened its spiritual intelligence, just like the Kuya Sea."

"It has become a ferocious beast like a wild beast!" Zhou Xun frowned slightly.
"Hehe, if it's so ordinary, how can it be called a forbidden place!" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is located hundreds of miles northeast of Qinghefang. It is shrouded in poisonous fog all year round, and even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not step in easily.

Zhou Xun sped all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of the cave.

At the entrance of the cave, poisonous fog filled the air, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air. Zhou Xun stood at the entrance, frowning slightly, and was secretly alert in his heart.

"Boy Zhou, be careful. Although this poisonous fog does not pose much threat to you, you should not be careless." The voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor sounded in Zhou Xun's ears.

Zhou Xun nodded, slapped his hand on his waist, took out a fourth-level medium-grade defensive talisman, activated it and stuck it on his body,

A layer of faint golden light appeared around him, isolating the poisonous fog outside.

Then Zhou Xun stepped in slowly.

Inside the cave, the light was dim and thick poisonous fog filled the air. Zhou Xun moved forward cautiously, spreading his spiritual sense and vigilantly observing the movements around him.

"Senior, where is the poisonous insect?" Zhou Xun asked in a low voice.

The Blood Demon Patriarch pondered for a moment, then said, "That poisonous insect is the natal poisonous insect of Wan Du. It must be in the deepest part of the cave. You just need to go all the way down and you will definitely find its trace."

Zhou Xun nodded and continued to move deeper into the cave.
