Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 821 Xueying’s strength and secret method of transforming elixir!
Half a month later, Jingxin Pavilion.

Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying sat opposite each other.

"Congratulations, Xueying, after you break through the Nascent Soul stage, your life span will increase to more than a thousand years!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
He flipped his hand and took out two teacups, which were engraved with some cloud patterns and were obviously of extraordinary quality.

Then he waved his hand and picked a few tea leaves from the cloud tea tree next to him.

The most precious thing about cloud tea is that it can temporarily improve the understanding of the user, whether it is to comprehend the secrets of martial arts, or to practice alchemy and refining, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The spiritual fire on Zhou Xun's fingertips ignited slightly, and the spiritual water in the teapot instantly boiled.
He brewed the tea with skillful movements, and the fragrance of tea spread instantly. Even the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn in, turning into wisps of spiritual mist that lingered in the pavilion.

Soon, Zhou Xun handed over the teacup.

“Try it!”

Lin Xueying took it and took a sip, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "This tea... is more mysterious than before."

Zhou Xun nodded and smiled: "After the tea tree was promoted to the fourth-level intermediate grade, its efficacy increased greatly. Now this cup of tea is enough to benefit a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Lin Xueying felt the flow of spiritual energy in her body and thought: "No wonder your cultivation has improved so quickly over the years. With the help of this kind of spiritual tea, your cultivation will naturally be twice as effective with half the effort."

Zhou Xun shook his head: "Although the spiritual tea is good, it is only an external object after all. The real foundation lies in oneself."

Lin Xueying smiled slightly: "You are modest, but before, my cultivation was still low and I couldn't help you. Now I have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. If you have any problems in the future, don't leave me alone!"

The Nascent Soul Stage is already considered a high-level cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Don't worry!" Zhou Xun nodded slightly.
"By the way, now that you are the seventeenth Yuanying Zhenjun of my Eastern Wasteland, would you like to hold a Yuanying celebration to make it lively?"

"Forget it, it's enough for them to know the news. I don't want to make it too public!" Lin Xueying shook her head.

She is not a flamboyant person.

As for the Yunguang Sect, it had already become powerful because of her identity as Zhou Xun's Taoist partner. Even the Lin family of Hongyefang was the same.
It has long been one of the seven great families in Wangchuan Fairy City.

Even if she had another Nascent Soul, it would only be icing on the cake and would not be as much help as Zhou Xun's Taoist partner.

"Then I'll do as you say!"

Then Zhou Xun slapped his waist, and two rays of light flew out, turning into a flag and a shield.

Both of these items are water-attributed treasures. I don’t know which unlucky guy’s storage bag got these spoils from.

They are all treasures of the highest quality.
"Xueying, now that you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, these two magic weapons are both of water attribute, which is suitable for you. You only need to refine them a little before you can use them. I will give them to you today!"

"Thank you, Zhou Lang!"

Lin Xueying took the azure flag and the crystal clear shield, stroked them with her fingertips, feeling the majestic water power contained in them, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"This 'Xuanshui Banner' and 'Hanshui Shield' are of excellent quality, and they are suitable for me." She looked up at Zhou Xun and said with a smile,
"You are quite good at choosing. These two magic weapons are indeed compatible with my skills."

Zhou Xun smiled slightly: "Although you have just entered the Nascent Soul stage, with these two handy magic weapons, plus the bonus of the Water Moon Body, you will be able to protect yourself even if you face a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Lin Xueying nodded and did not refuse. She immediately sat cross-legged, clasped her hands together, and the power of the Nascent Soul in her body surged. Strands of pure water-attributed spiritual power slowly poured into the two magic weapons.

"Om-"

The Xuanshui Flag trembled slightly, and water ripples appeared on the flag. A faint shadow of a dragon could be seen swimming, while the Hanshui Shield glowed with blue light.
Zhou Xun stood aside, watching quietly, nodding secretly in his heart.

Lin Xueying's refining speed was extremely fast. It was obvious that her Water Moon Spirit Body had a natural affinity for water-attributed magic weapons.

In just half a day, the two magic weapons had already connected with her mind and completely recognized their master.

Lin Xueying opened her eyes, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and then she stood up and waved her hand -

"Wow!"

The Xuanshui flag fluttered in the wind, and in an instant, the water spiritual energy within a radius of thousands of feet gathered together madly, turning into huge waves, surging and powerful!
"Go!" She shouted softly, and the flag shook. The huge waves condensed into nine water dragons hundreds of feet in size, roaring towards the lake in the distance.

"boom--!"

The surface of the lake exploded, waves surged into the sky, and the horrifying impact force even caused the restrictions at the bottom of the lake to tremble slightly.

"What a powerful power!"

Lin Xueying's eyes flashed with surprise, "This Xuanshui Flag can not only control the power of water spirits, but also take advantage of the momentum to transform. Its power is three times stronger than I imagined!"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "After all, it is a top-grade magic weapon, so it is naturally extraordinary. You can try the Cold Water Shield again."

Lin Xueying nodded, and with a thought, the cold water shield instantly floated in front of her. The shield surface flashed with water light, protecting her entire body behind it.

"Zhou Lang, come, practice with me!" Lin Xueying waved her hand with a provocative expression.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement: "Well, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."

After saying that, he put his fingers together like a sword, and a sharp green sword energy pierced out instantly!

"laugh--!"

The sword energy pierced the shield, making a faint sound of entering water. The sword energy was actually swallowed by the shield and then disappeared without a trace!
"Not bad!" Zhou Xun praised, "The defense of this cold water shield is to overcome the hard with the soft. My attack just now was no less powerful than that of an ordinary Yuanying early stage cultivator!"

Lin Xueying's eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "Come again!"

Before she finished her words, she had already activated the Xuanshui Flag, the lake surface surged again, and several water dragons roared and rushed towards Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun laughed loudly, and his figure flashed, turning into a stream of green light, shuttling through the waves, occasionally swinging his sword to cut through the water dragon.
The two fought back and forth, with great enthusiasm. There were flashes of light and constant roars above the island in the middle of the lake, attracting the attention of the monks on the island.

"Is that... the island owner and his wife sparring?"

“Oh my god, is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator?”

Everyone was amazed, and Song Yiqing in the distance was also attracted by the noise and came over.

She stood on the clouds, looking at the two people fighting fiercely below, with a slight smile on her face: "Sister Xueying has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and she has such power!"

When the battle was at its most intense, Lin Xueying suddenly shouted, and the Mysterious Water Flag and the Cold Water Shield simultaneously burst into brilliant light.
A blue light flew out from the cold water shield and merged with one of the water dragons. The water dragon's light increased greatly, and its momentum increased a bit.

It transformed into a giant blue dragon and rushed towards Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun's eyes flashed, and he no longer held back. A green sword appeared in his palm, and he slashed out with one sword -

"boom--!"

The giant blue dragon was split in half by a sword, and the violent aftermath of its spiritual power swept in all directions, causing huge waves dozens of feet high on the lake surface, but they were quickly suppressed by restrictions.

Lin Xueying panted slightly, but her eyes were full of excitement: "What a pleasure!"

Zhou Xun put away his sword and stood up, smiling: "Yes, these two magic weapons in your hands can actually exert power beyond their original power!"

Song Yiqing flew down at this time and said with a smile: "Sister Xueying, congratulations on your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage!"

At this time, Song Yiqing had already reached the peak of the Jindan stage, but her natal spirit beast, the Red Flame Luan, had already broken through to the fourth level. Lin Xueying smiled sweetly: "Sister Yiqing, you are joking!"

"Hello, my husband!" Song Yiqing bowed politely.

"Yiqing, I see that you have already reached the peak of Jindan, and Xiaoyan has been promoted to Demon King for several years."

"I wonder when you plan to reach the Nascent Soul stage?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

"Just one or two years, otherwise I, the only one who has reached the Jindan stage, will be left behind by you!" Song Yiqing said.

In fact, the "Spirit Control Sutra" she practiced can allow her to merge with her natal spirit beast. With the help of the Red Flame Luan's magical power, she can also exert the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.

“Okay, as long as you can break through the Nascent Soul stage, I will give you the Soul Control Ring!” Zhou Xun said.

That treasure was the spoils of war he got after killing Yuling Zhenjun. It was a top-grade magic weapon.
Not only does it have the dual abilities of attack and binding, it also has a restraining effect on monsters.

It is the most precious treasure of the Yuling Sect.

"My husband keeps his word!" Song Yiqing's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true!" With his current level of cultivation, high-grade magic weapons can no longer bring out his strength, only top-grade magic weapons can do that.

However, the number of treasures of this level is extremely small, and even among great monks, only a few of them possess them.

After chatting for a while, the three of them returned to the cave on the island in the middle of the lake and lived a shameless life.

As for the incarnation, he stayed in Jiangling Prefecture to practice, occasionally training the palace guards or preaching on behalf of a few disciples.

On this day, Zhou Xun was meditating in the cave of Yuanming Mountain.

Suddenly, a beam of fire flew in and turned into a sound transmission note, which stopped above the restriction.

He stretched out his hand, took it into his palm, flicked his finger,
A very familiar female voice came out:

"Master, Yuan Paner wants to see you!"

"Senior Sister?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately stopped practicing, stood up and walked out of the practice room, and welcomed Yuan Paner in.

"Greetings, my Lord!" Yuan Pan'er bowed and saluted as soon as she saw Zhou Xun.

Before he could bend down, Zhou Xun stopped him.

"Senior Sister, I have said this many times, there is no need for us to be so distant. Even if my cultivation level is higher, you are still my senior sister, right?"

"You took such good care of me back then!" Zhou Xun said helplessly.

Ever since he was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, his senior brothers and sisters, Yuan Pan'er and Xing Huaian, have addressed him as Zhenjun whenever they meet.

His attitude also became extremely respectful, which made him extremely helpless.

"After all, you are a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and now you are the Lord of Jiangling Mansion who is well-known throughout the human world!" Yuan Pan'er said a little embarrassedly.

"And I am just a fake Dan cultivator!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun could only feel helpless. After all, he had already persuaded her countless times, so he changed the subject.
"Sister, what's the important matter that brought you here today?"

While speaking, he personally brewed a cup of spiritual tea and handed it over.

Yuan Pan'er had basically never taken the initiative to look for him, so it was a bit unusual that she broke the routine today.

Hearing this, Yuan Pan'er hesitated to speak.

"that."

"Sister, why are you so distant?"

"Actually, I heard about the secret method of making elixir, and I found my junior brother in a hurry!" Yuan Paner finally said it.

"Oh, Senior Sister actually found out about this thing. I wonder where it is?" Zhou Xun was surprised.

Before that, he brought Yuan Pan'er and Xing Huaian to Dajin to tell them about the secret method of making elixir.
This technique allows a Jindan cultivator to break up his inner elixir and then re-form it.

In order to change their original situation of fake elixirs and inferior real elixirs, and reopen the path of cultivation.

Zhou Xun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said seriously:
"Senior Sister, is this true? The secret method of transforming elixirs is an extremely rare secret technique even in the Great Jin Dynasty. Where did you get this information?"

Yuan Paner took a deep breath, her eyes filled with anticipation and a bit of trepidation:

"A few days ago, I was at the free cultivator market in the west city of Jiangling Prefecture, and I happened to hear an old cultivator mention that Baiji Zhenjun was the one who died in the 'Xuanyin Valley'."

"And True Lord Baiji was once a false elixir cultivator. After his elixir was shattered and he began to cultivate again, he condensed a top-grade true elixir, and later became a great cultivator!"

"Xuanyin Valley, could it be the dangerous place in Liangzhou? It is said that the valley is filled with a strong evil aura, and ghost cultivators often occupy it, and even ghosts in the Nascent Soul stage appear." Zhou Xun said in a surprised tone.

Yuan Pan'er nodded: "That's why I hesitated whether to tell you. That place is extremely dangerous. Although I want to form the golden elixir again, I don't want you to take risks."

Zhou Xun pondered for a moment, and suddenly chuckled: "Senior sister, you are worrying too much. The Xuanyin Valley is not a problem for me."

He is now a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and has many magical weapons to protect him. Unless he encounters an old monster in the God Transformation Realm, nothing can threaten him.

"Besides, if I can obtain this secret method of transforming pills, it can also enhance the foundation of my Wangchuan Lake!"

"However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." Zhou Xun tapped the table with his fingertips. "Although Xuanyin Valley is not a dead end, the evil energy in it has a corrosive effect on the cultivator's body and soul. We need to make some preparations."

Hearing this, Yuan Pan'er's eyes showed gratitude: "Junior brother, if you can really find the secret method of transforming the elixir, Senior Brother Xing and I can form the inner elixir again, and maybe we can hope to achieve the Nascent Soul in the future."

With their talents, in a cultivation holy land with abundant resources like Dajin, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is not a piece of cake for them.

Zhou Xun waved his hands and said with a smile: "Senior sister, why should I thank you? If it weren't for your care back then, I might not be able to get to where I am today."

At this moment, Zhou Xun suddenly heard the voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor.
"Boy, there is such a sinister place in Dajin, why didn't you tell me?"

"Could this evil place be beneficial to you, senior?" Zhou Xun asked curiously.

"Not only for me, but also for Jiayi and Jiaqi." The Blood Demon Ancestor paused when he said this.
"This evil energy is a great tonic for people like us who practice the Blood Nerve Technique. If we can absorb a little of it,

"My strength can also be restored a little!"

"Now that senior has recovered, won't he be able to fight against the God of Transformation?" Zhou Xun said happily.

"It's not that powerful. It's only 30% stronger than it is now. More importantly, it can help me refine Blood God Armor for Jiayi and Jiaqi!"

"Greatly enhances their connection and defense!"

"I see!" Zhou Xun nodded.

If this is the case, we have to go to Xuanyin Valley.
