Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 824 Xuanyuan Qinglu, the Second Prince!

Ninety-eight points means that if he absorbs two more fourth-grade top-grade spiritual herbs, he can increase his spiritual root sensitivity to one hundred.
“By then, I don’t know what kind of changes will happen!”

He had a hunch.
After reaching one hundred points, a transformation will occur.

Then he walked out of the training room and came to the courtyard.
The two beasts, Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, were discussing the way of cultivation. At the fourth level, there was not much difference between them and the human cultivators.

"I've met the master!"

Seeing Zhou Xun coming out, the two beasts greeted him.

"You two have made great progress in your cultivation. I think it won't be long before you can break through to the fourth-level mid-grade!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

After being baptized in the Dragon Transformation Pond, the bloodlines of his two spirit beasts are slightly stronger than those of ordinary heavenly grade.

If you can be promoted to the fourth-level middle grade,
With cooperation, they can fight against great monks, and with their magical powers, their strength will be even stronger.

Then, Xiaojia got up and went to the kitchen to prepare the spiritual meal.
Not long after, Xiaojia came out with a plate filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Zhou Xun picked up a chopstick,

He put it in his mouth and savored it carefully. Suddenly, a rich spiritual energy bloomed on the tip of his tongue, flowing through his meridians throughout his body, invigorating him.

"The cooking temperature of this 'Steamed Cold Jade Carp' is very good. The meat is tender and full of spiritual energy. It seems that your cooking skills have improved." Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction.

Xiaojia smiled innocently, scratched his head and said:
"Master, you are too kind. Xiao Jin caught this cold jade carp from the depths of the cold pond a few days ago. It already contains extremely pure water-attributed spiritual energy. I just cooked it a little bit and I don't dare to take credit for it."

Xiao Jin, who was standing by, raised his head proudly when he heard this:
"Of course. This cold jade carp is very cunning. If I hadn't used the 'Golden Eyes Breaking Barrier Technique', I wouldn't have been able to find its trace at all."

Zhou Xun smiled and took another piece of "Red Flame Spirit Deer Meat". The meat was tender and melted in the mouth.
The blazing fire spiritual power circulated in his body, forming a yin-yang harmony with the previous cold jade carp, allowing the spiritual power in his body to flow more smoothly.

"Yes, this spiritual meal is well-matched, with water and fire complementing each other. It will also be of great benefit to my cultivation." Zhou Xun praised.

"By the way, I will be away for a while, so Yuanming Mountain will be handed over to you two!"

"Master, please rest assured!"

At the same time, deep inside the Dajin Palace,
The Dajin Palace is the place where the Ji family's ancestors live, and the concentration of spiritual energy has reached the fourth level.

After nearly ten thousand years of cultivation by the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty, this spiritual vein has become a rare paradise in the world.

I don’t know how many rare spiritual herbs and precious medicines grow there.

There are quite a few that are even tens of thousands of years old, such as the four tens of thousands of years old Xuanyuan trees growing in the center of the "Xuanyuan Lingpu".

At this time, there were already several Nascent Soul cultivators waiting outside the Xuanyuan Lingpu, led by none other than Ji Wuya, the current head of the Ji family.

He was dressed in a black robe, and his eyes were fixedly gazing at the towering ancient tree deep in the spiritual garden.

"If the calculation is correct, today is the day when the Xuanyuan wood matures." Ji Wuya said in a low voice, pinching his fingers in his sleeves.
"In another half an hour, the Xuanyuan Green Dew will condense."

Behind him, several elders of the Ji family held their breath, unable to hide the excitement in their eyes.

Xuanyuan Qinglu is the main material for refining the Xuanyuan Pill, a unique elixir of their royal family. The Xuanyuan Pill has the effect of assisting in advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Second only to the ninth level Destruction Pill.

A drop of this is priceless.

This ten thousand year old Xuan Yuan wood can only condense three drops every hundred years, and is extremely precious.

In the spiritual garden, the Xuanyuan wood is as white as jade, and its trunk is a translucent blue-gray color, with spiritual liquid faintly visible flowing inside.

The tree canopy blocked out the sun, and every leaf glowed with a faint silver light. At this moment, the three leaves at the top of the tree were turning from green to gold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's begun!" an elder whispered.

I saw the three golden leaves trembling slightly, and a drop of crystal clear dew gradually condensed at the tip of the leaf.

The dewdrops were colorless at first, but as time went by, they were slowly stained with a mysterious blue halo.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of the entire Xuanyuan wood began to shrink inward, and the silver light on the treetops gathered towards the three drops of dew like flowing water.

"The Xuanyuan Qinglu is absorbing the essence of the entire spiritual tree," Ji Wuya said in a deep voice, "Everyone, prepare the 'Xuanyu Bottle' and make sure to collect it at the moment when the dew is fully formed."

The monks took out specially made black jade bottles, the bodies of which were engraved with soul-sealing array patterns to preserve the spiritual energy of Qinglu.

The spiritual energy in the spirit garden became increasingly dense, gradually forming a green mist visible to the naked eye.

The nine drops of green dew became more and more crystal clear, and there was a faint dragon-shaped spiritual energy flowing inside.

Suddenly, the Xuanyuan Wood made a clear sound, and three golden leaves simultaneously burst into dazzling light.

"It's now!"

Ji Wuya took the first step and cast a spell. The three drops of green dew in the center were wrapped in spiritual light and slowly flew into the jade bottle in his hand.

The other elders also used their own methods to carefully collect the remaining green dew.

When the last drop of green dew was collected, all the golden leaves of the Xuanyuan Wood withered instantly, but the spiritual light was flowing inside the trunk, obviously incubating the next maturity cycle.

Ji Wuya carefully checked the jade bottle and confirmed that the twelve drops of green dew were intact. Then he smiled and said, "Good! With this magical object, we can start the furnace for the Xuanyuan Pill this time."

By the way, is there any plan on how to distribute the 'Xuanyuan Qinglu' this time?

At this time, a monk presented a jade slip.

Wei Wuya immersed himself in it and began to examine it carefully.
"Master Jiuyuan, the abbot of the Bodhi Temple, sent two bodhi seeds in exchange for two drops of Xuanyuan Qinglu!"

Boluo Temple is the only one of the two incarnation forces in the Great Jin Cultivation World. Its ancestor, Master Yunku, is also a incarnation cultivator.

Excellent relationship,

Since Master Jiuyuan has asked personally and offered the Bodhi seeds in exchange, we must agree.

Thus, two drops out of the twelve have been arranged.

"The Great Elder of Jianhu Palace, the Sword Immortal Liu He sent a message, wanting to exchange for one drop!"

Jianhu Palace is the third largest force in Dajin, and Liuhe is the leader of the ten great cultivators in Dajin. He wrote a letter personally,
I had to agree, and so another drop was removed.

In addition, Luoyang Xianzong wants two drops.

In this way, a total of five drops were used up, and they needed six drops to refine the Xuanyuan Pill.

"Also, Jiangling Mansion Lord Zhou Xun exchanged 400 contribution points for one drop!"

Jiangling Prefecture Lord Zhou Xun,

Ji Wuya naturally knew this person, he had great potential, and in the future he would at least be a Liuhe or even a Yan Mo Zhenjun.

It is said that the ancestors praised it highly and called it the seed of transformation.
Such tasks are exchanged with internal treasury contribution points, so they naturally need to be met.
"This last drop will be stored in the royal treasury, and can be withdrawn when Lord Zhou arrives!"

After distributing all the "Xuanyuan Qinglu", Ji Wuya left.

An hour after he left,
A young man wearing golden armor and with a grim face strode over here. This man was none other than the current Second Prince.
Ji Yun, who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

He came here in a hurry just for the 'Xuanyuan Qinglu'.

He was practicing the Five Elements Xuan Yuan Jue. If he wanted to break through to the next level, he had to collect one of each of the five elements' spiritual objects to cooperate with his practice.

The Xuanyuan Qinglu is the one that corresponds to the wood attribute. This time he calculated the time to come out of retreat just for the Xuanyuan Qinglu, but he didn't expect to be a step late.

Ji Yun stood outside the Xuanyuan Lingpu with a gloomy face, looking at the Xuanyuan wood that had regained its calm, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He raised his hand and a beam of golden light shot towards the monk on duty: "This prince wants to see Master Zongzheng!"

The monk hurriedly saluted and said, "Reporting to the Second Prince, Master Zongzheng just left and said he was going to the alchemy room."

"Waste!" Ji Yun snorted coldly, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard outside the alchemy room.

Ji Wuya, who was checking the alchemy furnace, frowned slightly. When he turned around, he saw Ji Yun rushing in aggressively.

"Second Prince, why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Wuya's tone was calm, but there was displeasure in his eyes.

Ji Yun suppressed his anger and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Zongzheng, I have reached a critical point in my cultivation of the Five Elements Xuanyuan Jue, and I urgently need a drop of Xuanyuan Qinglu."

"It's too late." Ji Wuya interrupted directly, "All twelve drops of Qinglu have been distributed."

"What?" Ji Yun's face suddenly changed.
"Is there not even a drop left? This thing is related to my path, Master Zongzheng, please..."

"Second Prince," Ji Wuya's tone turned cold.

"The allocation plan has been finalized and there is no possibility of change. If you want it, remember to come earlier next time!"

Seeing that Ji Wuya's expression remained unchanged, he didn't dare to say anything else.

The Zongzheng was the most powerful person besides the Emperor of Jin.
The emperor of the Xian Dynasty did not have the power of life and death like the earthly emperor. Now that the Zongzheng disagreed, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a voice sounded beside my ear:
"If you want it, you can go to the inner storehouse. There is still a drop of stock there!"

The person who spoke was his fourth brother, who was also one of the monks who was collecting spiritual liquid on this trip.

"Thank you, fourth brother!"

Ji Yun couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He suppressed his excitement, bowed to Ji Wuya again, then turned around and hurriedly left the alchemy room.

He knew very well that time was pressing. Once the news leaked, this last drop of Xuanyuan Qinglu might cause trouble again.

Ji Yun used his body skills and rushed towards the inner treasury like a golden stream of light.

If he could successfully obtain this drop of Xuanyuan Qinglu, his Five Elements Xuanyuan Jue would be able to break through to the next level, and his strength would be greatly enhanced.

At the same time, Jiangling Prefecture.

A messenger was sent to meet Zhou Xun.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Xun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"I am here to deliver a letter under the order of the Imperial Household Secretary!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out the letter.

Zhou Xun took the letter and saw the exclusive seal of the Imperial Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty printed on the envelope. His heart tightened and he couldn't wait to open the letter.

The content of the letter was concise and clear, informing him that the precious "Xuanyuan Qinglu" was ready and he could go to the inner treasury of the Jin Imperial Palace to pick it up at any time.

There was a glimmer of joy in Zhou Xun's eyes, this "Xuanyuan Qinglu" was crucial for him to improve his spiritual blue pupils, and now he finally got it.

He carefully put the letter away and said to the messenger, "Thank you very much. Go back and tell the Neikushi that I will leave immediately." The messenger took the order and left.

Zhou Xun turned around, called Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, and told them that he was going to the Jin Palace.

Upon hearing this, the two beasts expressed their willingness to protect Yuanming Mountain.

He simply packed up, then used the escape technique, turning into a stream of light and flying towards Jiangling Mansion.

Then, through the teleportation array, he arrived at Jinyang Fairy City.
As soon as Zhou Xun stepped out of the teleportation array, he felt the rich spiritual energy of Jinyang Immortal City coming towards him. This imperial city of Dajin was several times more prosperous than Jiangling Prefecture, and the streets were crowded with cultivators, including many Yuanying-stage masters.

"Let's get down to business first." Zhou Xun didn't stop and flew directly towards the palace. As the head of a prefecture, he had the qualifications to meet the inner treasury historian directly.

On the other side, Ji Yun also came to the inner treasury.

The inner treasury was heavily guarded, with lines of forbidden light flashing, and it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to get close. But as the second prince, and with the position of deputy historian of the inner treasury, Ji Yun could enter without any obstacles.

He took out the token and waved it in front of the guards, who quickly saluted and let him pass.

"Why is the Second Prince here?"

The person who spoke was an old man in a green robe. He was the Nei Ku Shi, a man in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and also a member of the royal family.
If calculated by seniority, he is still Ji Yun's uncle.

"Meet Uncle Seventeen!"

Ji Yun's face was filled with attentive smiles, and he bowed respectfully to the old man.

The old man nodded slightly, a hint of suspicion flashed across his eyes, and he asked, "Second Prince, why did you suddenly come to the inner treasury today? What's the matter?"

Ji Yun's heart skipped a beat, but he still kept a warm smile on his face and said, "Uncle Seventeen, I heard that the inner treasury has received a new batch of rare spiritual objects. I was really curious, so I thought of coming over to take a look. Maybe I can find a treasure that can help me practice."

The old man looked at Ji Yun like a hawk. Although he felt that this matter was a bit strange, Ji Yun was qualified to ask about it as a deputy historian.

He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, Your Highness, please do as you please."

Ji Yun was secretly delighted. He exchanged a few words with the old man and then paced around the warehouse as if nothing had happened. However, his eyes kept glancing towards the place where the Xuanyuan Qinglu was stored.

While pretending to check the spiritual objects around him, he approached his target unnoticed.

When he got there, he carefully looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, then he quickly took out the token.

Make secrets with both hands,

A little towards the light shield,
Then, the light shield melted away as quickly as snow meeting boiling water, revealing an exquisite jade bottle about an inch in size.

What is contained in it is the 'Xuanyuan Qinglu'.

He secretly opened the cork of the bottle, and a pure wood spiritual energy dissipated, and the second prince was overjoyed.

"Sure enough, it is the 'Xuan Yuan Qing Lu', it takes no effort to get it!"

"I will take it away and use it to make this matter an ironclad case!"

"By then, even if I'm discovered, with my status, I'll at most be punished, and the matter will be over!"

Thinking of this, he immediately put the jade bottle into his storage bag.

"Your Highness, have you finished reading this? Is it useful?"

Ji Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"Not yet, I'll go back first!" He said as he walked out of the inner storehouse.
At this time, Zhou Xun also came to the door of the inner treasury. Seeing the second prince coming out, he bowed slightly, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then stepped in.
