Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 812: The reaction of Luoyang Immortal Sect, Thunder Master Zhou Xun?

Zhou Xun walked forward and looked at the wooden box carefully. It was made of fourth-grade Yin Lei wood.
This item can already be used to refine a top-grade magic weapon, but here it is used as a box to carry treasures.
This shows how precious the things inside are.

He reached out and gently touched the wooden box, feeling a faint fluctuation of spiritual power.

"The runes on this wooden box... seem to be some kind of seal." Zhou Xun muttered to himself, with a hint of interest in his eyes.

He made hand gestures with both hands, and a ray of spiritual light gathered from his fingertips. He gently tapped the rune on the wooden box, and the rune flashed.
It actually bounced his spiritual power away!
"interesting!"

Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and his spiritual consciousness wrapped around the runes on the surface of the wooden box like a thread.

The unique cold aura of Yin Lei Mu spread along his fingertips, and actually condensed into a tiny arc of lightning in his palm, making a slight "crackling" sound.

The seal of this wooden box has obviously been specially designed to perfectly match the Yinlei wood material, forming double protection.

"Is this... an ancient lightning seal?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor's voice suddenly sounded,
"This seal needs to be activated with the ultimate spiritual power of the corresponding attribute, and its arrangement order must be broken. Boy, look at the direction of the patterns on the lightning ring, and light up the third, seventh, and twelfth runes in a counterclockwise direction."

Zhou Xun did as he was told, and the lightning from his fingertips landed on the designated rune as accurately as a dot of ink.

Just at this time,

Before he finished speaking, the wooden box vibrated violently, and countless tiny white lightning arcs shot out from the seal.

"Yin Lei, just the right amount of tonic!" Zhou Xun laughed.
He opened his mouth and Lei Chi flew out, blocking in front of him.

Then, a magical scene happened. The lightning arcs hit the thunder pool and were all swallowed up by it.

As time went by, the spiritual power on the seal weakened rapidly.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun seized the opportunity.
A ray of spiritual light shot out, and the sealing barrier shattered.

There was a "click" sound,
The wooden box slowly opened, and a ball of blinding lightning shot up into the sky, forming a vortex-shaped thundercloud on the top of the stone chamber.

Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes and saw a fist-sized piece of metal lying in the box, with purple lightning flares flowing on the surface, breathing and exhaling lightning like a living thing.

"Thunder Soul Gold!"

The Blood Demon Ancestor said in surprise,
"This is the best of the thunder-attributed spiritual materials. In the human world, it is also the top-level thunder-attributed spiritual material. It is also sufficient as the main material for a top-grade magic weapon!"

Zhou Xun also recognized this treasure.

He carefully took out the Thunder Soul Gold, which was warm and cool like jade, completely different from what he had imagined.

When he used his spiritual power to investigate, the refined gold suddenly burst into thousands of lightning bolts, illuminating the stone chamber as bright as day.

In the lightning, Zhou Xun vaguely saw a blurry shadow of a thunder dragon circling around the refined gold, emitting a silent dragon roar.

"What a good baby!" Zhou Xun exclaimed.
"With this Thunder Soul Essence Gold, perhaps I can improve my 'Black Thunder Sword' again!"

“If we can upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon, the power of the Sword Shadow Transformation Technique will surely increase greatly in the future!”

He carefully sealed the Thunder Soul Gold back into the Yin Thunder Wooden Box and put it into the storage bag.
He secretly thought in his heart: "When I return to Dajin, I will ask Dahai to help me find a fourth-level top-grade weapon refiner!"

"He remembered that there was a weapon refining grandmaster of this level in the Boluo Temple!"

Zhou Xun turned and walked out of the stone chamber, and saw Li Changfeng standing outside the door with a respectful look on his face.

"Senior, have you gained anything?" Li Changfeng asked cautiously.

Zhou Xun nodded and said calmly: "Yes, the Li family's weapon refining heritage is indeed extraordinary. I have copied a copy of the heritage and will give it to you."

After he finished speaking, he handed a jade slip to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng took the jade slip and was overjoyed. He quickly said, "Thank you very much, Senior! Senior, I will never forget your kindness!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be polite. Since I have obtained the treasure of your Li family, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Li Changfeng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said quickly:

"If you don't mind, why don't you stay in my Li family for a few more days and let us treat you well to show our gratitude."

Zhou Xun shook his head and said calmly: "No need, I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay for long."

After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, disappearing in the Li family mansion.

Li Changfeng looked at Zhou Xun's departing back, his heart filled with joy.

Although I lost the treasure passed down from my ancestors, it was just a castle in the air.

If Zhou Xun hadn't intervened, they would have been left with nothing but a glimpse of this fourth-level weapon refining inheritance. Now that they have obtained the inheritance,
The Li family's weapon-making skills will see great development.
Zhou Xun left Xuanjianfang and flew towards Qinghefang.
After several hours, the ruins of a market town appeared before their eyes.

Looking at the mess in front of him, Zhou Xun frowned slightly. He remembered that he had driven away the poisonous insects when he left, so how could it become like this now?

Worried about the safety of his apprentice,
He slapped the storage bag on his waist.
A ray of spiritual light flew out and landed on the ground, transforming into a round disc-shaped treasure, which was his "Small Divination Compass".

Zhou Xun made a secret with both hands, performed the divination technique, and then gently tapped the compass.
"disease!"

A flash of spiritual light shot up,
The compass flickered, revealing a strange rune.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The hexagram showed that his disciple was not in danger and was hiding somewhere at the moment.

Then he changed his spell, and an arrow appeared on the compass, pointing to a certain direction in the west.

Zhou Xun then flew up and rushed in the direction of the arrow.
Half an hour later, he landed beside an ordinary deep pool.

Just as he landed on the ground, he saw a glimmer of light.
A monster with two wings on its back and covered with blue scales appeared in front of him. It was the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast.

On his back, there were three people.
They were Zhou Xun's apprentice Yu Siyue and his brother and father.

When Yu Siyue saw Zhou Xun, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in her eyes. She quickly jumped off the back of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and ran quickly to Zhou Xun.

"Master, you are finally back!" Yu Siyue said excitedly, with tears glistening in her eyes.

Zhou Xun nodded and glanced at Yu Siyue and her brother and father behind her. He felt relieved to see that they were safe and sound.

"I'm glad you're all okay." Zhou Xun said lightly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Yu Siyue's elder brother Yu Siyuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you very much for saving our lives, Senior! If your spirit beast had not arrived in time, we would have been buried in the insect swarm."

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be polite. Since you are my apprentice's relatives, I will naturally not sit idly by."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the Water-avoiding Golden Eyed Beast and asked, "How did you escape?"

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast roared with a hint of pride in its voice, and then communicated with Zhou Xun through his spiritual sense.

It turned out that when the insect tide attacked, the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast sensed the danger in advance with its keen perception, and quickly took Yu Siyue and others into the deep pool.

There was a secret cave at the bottom of the deep pool, and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast took them to hide in it, avoiding the invasion of the insect tide.

After listening to it, Zhou Xun nodded and praised: "Well done."

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast proudly swung its tail, obviously very satisfied with its performance.

"Master, what should we do now?" Yu Siyue asked, with a trace of worry in her eyes. Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Although the insect tide has temporarily retreated, this place is no longer safe. You all leave with me and go to Jiuyue City."

"Jiuyue City?" Yu Siyue's eyes flashed with surprise.
Zhou Xun nodded and explained, "Jiuyue City is a million miles away from the cave. Even if there is another riot, it will hardly be affected!"

"In addition, Jiuyue City has a Jindan cultivator in charge, so safety can be guaranteed!"

In fact, the real reason is that there are no high-level monks there, and Zhou Xun lives in seclusion here without the risk of being exposed!
Hearing this, Yu Siyue's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Master!"

Yu Siyuan and their father also expressed their willingness to follow.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun nodded secretly in his heart.
Then everyone flew towards Jiuyue City.

At the same time, the Second Elder and the others watched helplessly as Zhou Xun activated Yan Wuxu's Escape Talisman and escaped from under their noses.

The second elder's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it, and his eyes were burning with anger.

He stared at the direction where Zhou Xun disappeared, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

"He actually let him get away!" The Second Elder gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger.
When their four elders join forces and cooperate with the Sunset Pagoda which is a semi-spiritual treasure, they are invincible below the level of a spirit being transformed.

However, even with this configuration, Zhou Xun still managed to escape.

Since he started practicing, he had never been subjected to such humiliation.

The third elder stepped forward, his expression equally grim: "Brother, the escape talisman in that person's hand seems to belong to Junior Brother Yan..."

The second elder snorted coldly, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes:
"Yes, it is Junior Brother Yan's Escape Talisman. It seems that he not only killed Junior Brother Yan, but also took away his treasure!"

"This man must not be let off! Pass the order down, notify the sect immediately, mobilize all forces, and hunt him down with all your might. No matter where he escapes to, he must be brought back!"

"Besides, Old Four,"

"Brother?" The fourth elder bowed.

"Send people out to investigate the major forces in the human world and gather the information of all the thunder masters. We will investigate them one by one!"

"This person has such strength, he must be no unknown person!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison and then took quick action.

The Second Elder stood there, looking into the distance with a gloomy look, thinking secretly in his heart: "If you dare to provoke my Luoyang Immortal Sect, no matter where you hide in the human world, I will pull you out!"

At the same time, Zhou Xun, Yu Siyue and others rushed all the way and finally arrived at Jiuyue City.

Jiuyue City is located in the northwest corner of Luoyang Continent, a million miles away from the Ten Thousand Poison Caverns. It is a relatively remote fairy city.

Although it is not large in scale, due to its special geographical location, few Nascent Soul cultivators have set foot here, making it an ideal place for Zhou Xun to live in seclusion.

"Master, is this Jiuyue City?"

Yu Siyue stood outside the city gate, looking at the slightly ancient city wall in front of her with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Zhou Xun nodded and said calmly: "Yes, this is Jiuyue City. The city lord, Jiuyue Zhenren, was born as a casual cultivator and is very famous for his music skills!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Siyue and others nodded in agreement.

Zhou Xun hid his cultivation level at the peak of Qi training, led everyone into the city, and rented a secluded cave.

There has been a riot in the cave recently, and many people have fled in Jiuyue City. Zhou Xun and his group are extremely inconspicuous.

Arriving at the cave, we were assigned a place to live.

Then, he took out some spirit stones and pills and gave them to Yu Siyue:

"Use these resources to practice first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you Master!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to be polite, you can practice here with peace of mind."

Afterwards, he lived in seclusion here as a talisman master.

Just half a month later,

A group of cultivators dressed in Luoyang Immortal Sect's attire slowly came to Jiuyue Immortal City. The leader was over 40 years old, with an extremely protruding forehead that looked a bit weird. He was in the late Jindan stage of cultivation.

"Brother Dao, you are here. Jiuyue is sorry for not being able to greet you from afar. I am sorry!"

The person who spoke was a beautiful woman in a purple palace dress, who appeared to be in her early thirties. She was the local host - Master Jiuyue.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, and slowly said:

"The order from the second elder of the Immortal Sect: All the immortal cities and markets under the jurisdiction of our Luoyang Immortal Sect must immediately conduct a strict investigation of all foreign cultivators, especially those who are masters of thunder. If there are any suspicious people, report them immediately. There must be no mistakes!" The middle-aged cultivator's voice was cold and there was unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Master Jiu Yue's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded respectfully, "Yes, I will follow the Second Elder's orders."

The middle-aged cultivator nodded, then waved his hand. The disciples of Luoyang Immortal Sect behind him quickly dispersed and began to investigate all the cultivators who had entered the city in the past half month.

Jiu Yue Zhenren watched them leave, a complex look flashing in her eyes. She turned back to the City Lord's Mansion, thinking to herself: "Who is the Luoyang Immortal Sect chasing after by making such a big move?"

With the help of Jiuyue Zhenren,
He quickly obtained a list of new monks entering the city and began to investigate each one one by one.

Soon, they arrived at the cave where Zhou Xun rented.

Zhou Xun was meditating in the cave when he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from outside the cave.

He frowned slightly, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that several disciples of the Luoyang Immortal Sect were standing outside the cave with stern expressions.

"The people from Luoyang Immortal Sect actually chased us here." Zhou Xun said in his heart, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He quickly restrained his breath and suppressed his cultivation to the peak of Qi training, then stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Hello, senior. What can I do for you?" Zhou Xun asked in a puzzled tone with a hint of humility in his tone.

The Luoyang Immortal Sect disciple who was leading the group looked at Zhou Xun coldly and asked, "Who are you? When did you enter the city?"

Zhou Xun bowed and said, "My surname is Li, and I am a talisman master. Half a month ago, I fled here with my family to avoid the insect tide."

The disciple frowned upon hearing this and continued to ask, "Is there anyone who can testify for you?"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "I reported to the Immortal City when I entered the city."

The disciple's expression eased slightly after hearing this. He then took out a jade slip and carefully examined it. After confirming that what Zhou Xun said was true, he nodded.

He entered the cave again to investigate and found nothing wrong, then left with the others.

At the same time, at the Luoyang Immortal Sect headquarters,

In the meeting hall, "Brother, the list of thunder masters from all over the human world has been completed, a total of 237 people!"

As he spoke, the fourth elder took out a jade slip and handed it over.

The second elder took it and probed his spiritual consciousness into it, looking at the names one by one. The name of Wangchuan Zhenjun Zhou Xun was among them.
