Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 817 Siyue returns to East Wilderness and speculates about the ultimate magic weapon, Thunder Sword!
Half a month later, Qingyun Mansion.

Above the teleportation hall, a faint light flashed, and then four figures appeared. They were Zhou Xun and Yu Xingjian's family who had hidden their auras until the Jindan stage.

After walking out of the teleportation hall, I looked at the bustling scene outside.
Yu Siyue couldn't help but widen her eyes.
He exclaimed, "Is this the Qingyun Mansion in the Eastern Wasteland? It is indeed much more prosperous than the Jiuyue Fairy City!"

The streets were bustling with people, monks and mortals mixed together, and shops lined up on both sides, with all kinds of magic weapons, elixirs, and spiritual herbs, all of which were high-quality products.
Among the people coming and going, many are cultivators above the Jindan stage. Such a scene can only be found in Qinghefang or Jiuyue Fairy City.

Yu Siyue had never seen such a lively scene before. She couldn't help but look around, her eyes full of curiosity.

Although Yu Xingjian was somewhat shocked, he was older after all, so he acted much calmer. He gently patted his daughter's shoulder and whispered:

"Siyue, don't be too ostentatious. This is Qingyun City after all. There are many powerful people here. We are new here, so we need to be careful with what we say and do."

Yu Siyue stuck out her tongue and nodded obediently: "Got it, Dad."

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. Although Qingyun Mansion is big, as long as you don't cause trouble, there won't be any trouble!"

This place is not far from his teleportation array.
Plus, no one in Qingyun Mansion could control him, so Zhou Xun was very relaxed.

Even if the entire Qingyun Mansion was destroyed, it would only be a minor trouble.

After a brief stroll, everyone set off again.

Two days later, Zhou Xun led everyone to the valley. Looking at this ordinary place, Yu Siyue was very curious.

"Master, what are we doing here?"

The spiritual energy here is thin and the scenery is sparse and ordinary.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said, “You will know soon!”
As he spoke, he slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist. With a flash of yellow light, he fell to the ground and transformed into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a resolute face and a tail covered with scales.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

Yu Siyue was so scared that she hid behind Zhou Xun.

Yu Xingjian opened his mouth wide. Although he was only a cultivator in the Qi training stage, he had heard some information about the fourth-level demon king.
Legend has it that after a demon beast reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it can transform into a human form, but it will still retain some of the demon beast's characteristics.
The young man in front of me is such a product.

Doesn't this mean that this is a fourth-level Demon King, comparable to a human Yuanying cultivator!

"Xiao Siyue, don't be nervous, I am Xiaojia!" As the black-armored armadillo spoke, a faint light flashed and it turned into a six or seven foot tall black-armored armadillo again.

"Xiaojia, you are really Xiaojia!" Yu Siyue smiled again. When she was a child, Xiaojia followed Zhou Xun's orders and played with it for a long time.

"Then how did you become a human?" Yu Siyue asked curiously.
"Because I am a fourth-level demon king, I can transform into a human form!" Xiao Jia explained softly.

Yu Siyue was delighted to hear this. Xiaojia could actually transform into a human form. He could play with her in the future.

Yu Xingjian was also shocked. Although he guessed that Zhou Xun had an extraordinary origin, he didn't expect that even the spirit beast beside him was a fourth-level demon king!

With such strength, no one in the entire Qingyun Mansion could possibly be rivaled. He couldn't help but be even more in awe of Zhou Xun, and at the same time, he was also glad that his family could follow such a strong man.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Zhou Xun smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Jia has followed me for many years and has already broken through the fourth level. This time I brought you here to use its power to go to a secret place."

"A secret place?" Yu Siyue blinked and asked curiously.
"Master, this place looks ordinary, is there anything special about it?"

Zhou Xun nodded and looked deep into the valley:

"It is precisely because this place is ordinary and rarely visited that the teleportation array I set up here is safer and less likely to be discovered by others."

"Teleportation array?" Yu Siyue asked curiously.
"Yes, Donghuang is not in Luoyang Continent. The only way to get there is with the help of a teleportation array!" Zhou Xun then turned his gaze towards the black-armored armadillo:
He opened his mouth and ordered:

"Xiaojia, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the black-armored armadillo opened its mouth, and a beam of light hit everyone in front of it, transforming into a huge bubble.

Then, under the guidance of the black-armored armadillo, he continued to dive underground.

"Is this the art of escaping underground?" Yu Xingjian praised repeatedly.

"Yes, the teleportation array is located deep underground and can only be reached through the art of burrowing underground. This will minimize the risk of the array being leaked!"

As they were talking, they arrived at their destination. A stone chamber about 60 to 70 meters in size appeared in front of them, with a teleportation array in the middle.

"Let's go!"

Everyone then stood in the middle of the teleportation array, and with a flash of white light, they disappeared from the spot.

After two transmissions,
In Wangchuan Lake, in a cave on the island in the middle of the lake, in a stone chamber, four figures suddenly appeared on the teleportation array.

"This is my master's dojo, Wangchuan Lake!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and as he spoke, his figure flashed, and he removed his identity of 'Zhou Xun', revealing his true face.

"Master, you look even better!"

Yu Siyue widened her eyes and couldn't help but marvel at the sudden change in Zhou Xun in front of her.

At this moment, Zhou Xun had a handsome face and extraordinary temperament, with an indescribable majesty and depth between his brows, which was completely different from the ordinary appearance of "Li Qing" before.

Yu Xingjian was also shocked. Although he had already guessed that Zhou Xun's identity was not simple, he did not expect that his true appearance was so extraordinary.

Especially the faint aura that emanated from it made him feel an invisible sense of oppression, as if he was not facing a person, but a towering mountain.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, patted her head gently, and said:

"Before that, I was in Luoyang Continent, so I had to hide my real name, so I used the alias 'Li Qing'. My real name is Zhou Xun, also known as Wangchuan Zhenjun!"

"Siyue, you are my seventh-ranked disciple. You will practice here in the future. The spiritual energy of Wangchuan Lake is several times richer than that of the outside world. It will be of great benefit to your practice."

Yu Siyue nodded excitedly, her eyes full of anticipation: "Thank you, Master! I will definitely work hard to practice and live up to your expectations!"

Zhou Xun nodded, then looked at Yu Xingjian and said:

"Yu Daoyou, although your cultivation is still shallow, your foundation is solid, and you can practice here in the future."

"If you want to continue brewing wine, the Immortal City of Wangchuan is hundreds of miles away. With your skills, you will definitely be very popular!"

"As for Siyuan, you can also join my Wangchuan Lake, which will benefit you a lot in the future!"

Yu Xingjian immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be so polite. Since you have followed me here, if you have any needs in the future, just ask."

In the following period of time, Zhou Xun arranged for Lin Xueying and Yu Siyue to meet, and at the same time handed over the teaching task to her.

As for Zhou Xun, he left the East Wasteland and headed for Dajin. He had previously obtained a fourth-grade top-grade thunder material, "Thunder Soul Gold", and he planned to go to the Boluo Temple.
He invited a fourth-grade top-grade weapon refiner to help him upgrade the Xuanting Thunder Sword to a top-grade magic weapon.

By then, when the sword shadow transformation technique is performed, the power will be further enhanced.

Dajin, Boluo Temple.

On this day, Zhou Xun appeared in front of the mountain gate of Boluo Temple.

The Boluo Temple is a well-known Buddhist holy place in the territory of Dajin. Not only is the Buddhist teachings profound in the temple, but there are also many monks who are proficient in refining instruments and elixirs.

The purpose of Zhou Xun's trip was to find a fourth-grade top-grade weapon refiner who could help him integrate the "Thunder Soul Essence Gold" into the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword, so that it could be upgraded to a top-grade magic weapon.

In front of the mountain gate, two young monks saw Zhou Xun's extraordinary demeanor and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, may I know what brings you to the Boro Temple?"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said slowly: "I am Wangchuan Zhenjun Zhou Xun, a good friend of Shan Fozi of your temple. I am here to visit my friend!"

The two monks became more respectful upon hearing this. They had also heard of the name of Wangchuan Zhenjun. One of the monks said quickly:
"It turns out that it is Lord Zhou in person. Please wait a moment. I will go and inform him."

After waiting for about an incense stick's time, a young man strode towards me with a hint of blood on his face.

"How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Then he came to Zhou Xun and slapped him hard. Zhou Xun took three steps back before stopping!

"It seems like big brother's physical fitness has improved again!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"I see that you have made great progress. Let's go to my cave to have a drink!" As he said that, he grabbed Zhou Xun's arm and flew towards the cave.

After a while, the two came to the reception room of Shan Xionghai's cave mansion and sat down.

Shan Xionghai waved his hand and took out two jars of spirit wine.
He handed one of the jars to Zhou Xun.
He smiled and said, "My dear brother, this is the 'Bixia Spiritual Wine' that I have treasured for many years. It's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so let's not go home until we are drunk!"

Zhou Xun took the jar and broke the seal. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine filled his nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.
"Brother is really generous. This Bixia Lingniang is a rare and good wine. I am in for a treat today!"

Shan Xionghai laughed heartily, raised the jar of wine and clinked it with Zhou Xun's, and said:
"You're welcome, my dear brother. We haven't seen each other for many years. We must drink together today!"

The two smiled at each other, then raised their heads and drank. The wine was sweet and mellow, full of spiritual energy, and invigorating.

Zhou Xun praised: "Good wine!"

Shan Xionghai smiled proudly and said:

"Of course! I spent a lot of time and effort to make this Bixia Spirit Wine. I usually don't want to take it out. Now that you are here today, I have to treat you well."

The two drank and talked freely, and the topics ranged from spiritual cultivation to the situation in the Western Desert.

After three rounds of drinking, the two finally got down to business. Shan Xionghai asked, "Brother, is there anything important that brought you here this time?"

Zhou Xun put down the wine jar and said seriously, "Brother, you are indeed very discerning. I came here this time to ask for a favor."

Shan Xionghai raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said with a smile, "Oh? What is it that would make you come here in person?"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "I recently got a fourth-grade top-grade 'Thunder Soul Gold' and wanted to integrate it into my magic weapon 'Mysterious Thunder Sword'."

"If I can upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon, my strength will be greatly increased!"

"However, to refine a top-grade magic weapon, one needs at least a fourth-rank upper-grade weapon refiner. I heard that Master Bailian of the Boluo Temple is a famous weapon refiner in Dajin!"

"That's why I came here, and I want to ask my senior brother to help introduce something to me!"

After Shan Xionghai heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Thunder Soul Gold? This is an extremely rare treasure! My dear brother, you are truly blessed."

"Master Bailian is obsessed with refining equipment. With such high-level materials, he will certainly agree! However, Senior Brother Bailian has been practicing in seclusion in recent years and rarely sees guests. But since this is what my dear brother asked for, I will naturally do my best to help."

Zhou Xun bowed and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Shan Xionghai waved his hand and said with a smile: "You and I are brothers, why bother being polite, just follow me!"

As the direct disciple of Yun Ku Tianjun, Master Bai Lian naturally had to give him face.

Shan Xionghai took Zhou Xun through the numerous courtyards of the Boluo Temple and finally came to a quiet weapon refining workshop.

Outside the weapon refining workshop, several disciples were busy moving materials. When they saw Shan Xionghai, they immediately saluted and said, “Greetings, Uncle Shan!”

Shan Xionghai nodded and asked, "Is Senior Brother Bailian here?"

One of the disciples replied respectfully: "The master is in the weapon refining workshop, but he is refining a magic weapon at the moment."

Shan Xionghai smiled and said, "No problem. Go and inform them that Shan Xionghai is here to visit and has something important to discuss."

The disciple hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally nodded: "Yes, Uncle Master, wait a moment, I will report it right away."

After a while, the door of the weapon refining workshop slowly opened, and a burly old man with white hair and beard strode out. He had a tired look on his face, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.

When he saw Shan Xionghai, he laughed and said, "Brother Shan, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Shan Xionghai bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Bailian, I brought a good friend here today to ask for a favor."

Master Bailian's gaze turned and fell on Zhou Xun, and he nodded slightly: "So it's Palace Master Zhou, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Zhou Xun was surprised when he heard this: "Master, you also recognize me?"

"Hahaha, Lord Zhou killed several high-grade ghost kings on the front line of the Western Desert and made great contributions to our human race. This matter has spread throughout the entire Dajin!" Master Bailian laughed.

"It's just a small reputation, not worth mentioning!"

After a few simple greetings, everyone came to an elegant room and discussed business. Master Bailian asked, "I wonder what important matter has the Palace Master come here for this time?"

Zhou Xun said seriously:
"Zhou recently obtained a fourth-grade top-grade 'Thunder Soul Gold' and wanted to integrate it into the magic weapon 'Mysterious Thunder Sword' to upgrade it to a top-grade magic weapon."

"This matter is of great importance and requires the help of a fourth-rank high-grade weapon refiner, so I have come to ask the master for help."

As he said that, Zhou Xun waved his hand and took out the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword and the 'Thunder Soul Essence Gold' together.

Upon hearing this, Master Bailian picked it up and examined it carefully.

"Yes, it is indeed 'Thunder Soul Gold'. What a great opportunity for the Palace Master!"

"This lightning sword seems to have been upgraded from a mid-level sword. If we want to upgrade it to a top-level sword, we need to find a place with dense lightning energy to have a chance!"
