Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 831: Ninth level Destruction Pill, preparation before breakthrough!

"In addition, we need to build a complete teleportation array system to connect the various cultivation worlds in the human world."

"If there is another large-scale invasion by the ghost tribe, we can use the teleportation array to quickly increase the number of troops!"

Having said this, Lord Yan Mo paused and continued:
"Besides that, we should also consider the alternatives,"

"As the saying goes, we must consider our plans for after defeat."

"The Western Desert Front has gathered nearly one-third of our race's elites. If we don't make a retreat plan, so many masters will die here."

"I'm afraid it will take a long time for us in the human world to organize a powerful counterattack!"

As Lord Yama finished speaking, the hall instantly fell into a solemn silence.

Everyone knows that considering a retreat plan in the event of defeat is not a cowardly act, but a key consideration related to the future survival of the human race.

Yun Ku Tianjun nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"You are right, Fellow Daoist Yu. Although we strive for victory, it is necessary to plan our retreat routes and resettlement points in advance."

"We can set up temporary bases in some hidden and hard-to-defend valleys and blessed caves, and store enough supplies so that we can provide shelter and supplies for the retreating monks in an emergency."

Jinbi Tianjun gently turned the nine golden beads in her hand. The crisp collision sound echoed in the hall. She said softly:
"In addition to setting up a stronghold, we also need to arrange elite troops to cover the rear and ensure that the main force and ordinary monks can evacuate safely."

"The person who will cover the rear must be someone with great strength and determination, so that he can fight for everyone's chance of survival in this desperate situation."

The Six Paths Demon Lord added: "We can set up some powerful traps and killing formations along the way. If the ghosts dare to pursue us, we will make them pay a heavy price."

The group discussed the retreat plan for a long time and gradually outlined a more complete framework.

First, they would build a teleportation array that connected the major cultivation worlds in the human world, so that if a war broke out again, they could quickly gather enough cultivators to support them.

Secondly, set up a teleportation formation near the passage to the ghost world. This way, when the ghosts fight again, you can send elite troops to infiltrate the rear, temporarily block the passage with treasures, and attack from both sides.

In addition, a unified alliance of cultivators in the human world will be established to govern all major cultivation worlds, prohibit all major forces from conquering each other, and prepare for war with all efforts.

Finally, an evacuation route is established.

After the discussion, everyone dispersed.
"Stop!" At this time, a gentle voice sounded in Zhou Xun's ears. It was Yun Ku Tianjun.

"Master, you are looking for me." Zhou Xun bowed.

Zhou Xun had great respect for Master Yun Ku, as his alchemy skills were inherited from him.

"Follow me first!"

Then Zhou Xun followed Master Yun Ku and came to his cave.

Yunku Tianjun's cave is hidden in a dense spiritual mist, and the cave entrance is surrounded by lush spiritual plants.

It emits a light fragrance that makes people feel refreshed.

As he stepped into the cave, Zhou Xun felt his eyes brighten. The cave was spacious and bright, with luminous pearls inlaid on the cave walls. The soft light illuminated the entire cave as if it were daytime.

There is an ancient stone table in the center of the cave, with a futon on each side of the table.

On the stone table, a set of exquisite tea sets were neatly arranged. The tea sets were carved from unknown spiritual jade. They felt warm to the touch, and there was a faint spiritual charm flowing through them.

Yun Ku Tianjun raised his hand and motioned Zhou Xun to sit down. Then he personally picked up the spiritual pot beside him and poured a cup of spiritual tea for Zhou Xun.

“Try it. These are the spiritual tea seeds that I found in a secret place some years ago. I planted and cultivated them myself. They have a unique flavor.” Yun Ku Tianjun said with a smile.

Zhou Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, a sweet and mellow taste spread on the tip of his tongue.

The spiritual tea entered his stomach and turned into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones, alleviating some of the fatigue in his body.

"Good tea!" Zhou Xun exclaimed sincerely.

Yun Ku Tianjun nodded slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction:

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect that your strength has reached such a level. It seems that in a few hundred years, our human race will have one more Divine Master!"

With a body in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his strength has reached the top three of the ten great cultivators of Dajin. Even he was not as good as others in his time.

Zhou Xun quickly stood up and said modestly:

"Master, you are too kind. I will be satisfied if I can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage one day. How can I dare to hope to become a god!"

The human world here is an independent space, cut off from the outside world, and the law of vitality is not obvious. According to the Blood Demon Ancestor,
The difficulty of promotion is a hundred times that of the Immortal Realm.
Even if he had the Ningchun Sutra in his hand, he wouldn't be very confident.

Yun Ku Tianjun waved his hand, motioning Zhou Xun to sit down, and said slowly:

"You don't have to be too modest. Among the many Nascent Soul cultivators in our world, the next one who can be promoted to the Divine Transformation Stage, besides Lord Yan Mo, should be you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun's heart moved.
"Master, you are talking about Brother Yu Dao. In today's battle, I saw him kill more than a dozen fourth-level ghost kings with one move. He seemed to have the power of a god!"

Yun Ku Tianjun nodded upon hearing this:
"Yes, from what I have seen, Fellow Daoist Yu has already stepped halfway into the realm of Divine Transformation. I think it won't be long before he can officially step into the realm of Heavenly Sovereign!"

Zhou Xun was amazed when he heard this: "It seems that Brother Yu Dao will soon be promoted to the God Transformation Realm. This will undoubtedly be a great help to our human race."

In this kind of battle involving two worlds, the final decision of victory or defeat still lies in the hands of the Divine Transformation cultivator.

If the human race could really add a divine lord at this time, the chances of winning for the human world would greatly increase.

"However, if this is the case, we should let Brother Yu Dao stay behind. The Western Desert now has no shortage of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Zhou Xun suggested.

"You are right, but Fellow Daoist Yu is unwilling to stay behind alone. If you force him, it will hinder his state of mind and will not be conducive to a breakthrough!"

Yun Ku Tianjun sighed, then changed the subject and talked about Zhou Xun.
"By the way, you are now only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage. Are you ready for a breakthrough?"

"I was just about to ask the master for advice!" Zhou Xun waved his hand and took out dozens of spiritual medicines.

"Is this the material for the ninth-level Destruction Pill?" Master Yun Ku asked in surprise.

"It seems like you're lucky to be able to collect all these items!"

You know, Zhou Xun is not like him. With such a powerful force as the Boluo Temple, the secret realm and medicinal fields in the mountain gate alone are enough.

Zhou Xun was able to gather all these by fighting alone, which shows that his luck is also amazing.

"I can now refine a fourth-level mid-grade elixir, but the ninth-level Destruction Pill is a fourth-level upper-grade one. With my current alchemy skills, I am not capable of it."

"So I want to ask the master for advice!" Zhou Xun bowed and said,

Master Yun Ku is a rare fifth-level alchemy master in the human world.

Yun Ku Tianjun's gaze fell on the dozens of spiritual medicines, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He gently picked up a crystal-clear spiritual herb that emitted a faint blue light, looked at it carefully, and said:
"The ninth-level Destruction Pill is the best among the fourth-level pills. Its refining process is extremely complicated."

"It requires extremely high fire control ability, spiritual power utilization and understanding of the characteristics of medicinal materials. It is not easy for you to gather all the materials now." After saying that, he put down the spiritual herbs and looked at Zhou Xun with a serious expression:

"To refine this ninth-level Destruction Pill, we must first achieve extreme precision in the temperature. This pill requires three different temperatures to be used to alternately refine the medicinal materials."

"First, use gentle fire to slowly force out the impurities in the herbs. This step requires gentleness,"

"If the fire temperature is too high, the herbs will burn easily; if it is too low, impurities will be difficult to remove. Once all the impurities are removed, switch to the positive yang fire to stimulate the medicinal properties of the herbs."

"This step requires controlling the degree of 'hardness' so that the medicinal properties are fully released without causing drug disorders."

"Finally, we need to use the Xuanyin Fire to fuse all the medicinal materials and condense them into a pill. The key to this step is 'harmony', so that the various medicinal properties can achieve a perfect balance under the coordination of the Xuanyin Fire."

Master Yun Ku said this, waved his hand, took out a jade slip and handed it over.

"This contains my alchemy skills, including my experience and insights in refining fifth-level elixirs. You can take it and study it!"

"But don't get too caught up in this. For cultivators like us, our level is ultimately determined by our cultivation!"

"Thank you, Master!" Zhou Xun took it respectfully.

Now his alchemy skills are stuck at the fourth-level middle grade. First, there are very few spiritual medicines at this level, and he has not received enough practice.

Secondly, the alchemy inheritance in his hands was only of the fourth-level middle grade. If he wanted to break through on his own, it would definitely not be something that could be done in a short period of time.
Now with the fifth-level alchemy technique given by Master Yun Ku, it will naturally be much easier to break through by following the path of predecessors.

"I see that you are only a few years away from the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and a breakthrough is imminent!"

"How about this, I will refine this furnace of ninth-level Destruction Pill for you personally. You can watch from the side. With my explanation, I think it won't take long."

"You will be promoted to a fourth-level superior alchemist!"

Zhou Xun was delighted and happy when he heard this, and bowed deeply to Yun Ku Tian Jun:
"Master, I am grateful for your kindness. This pill is of great significance to my breakthrough. It is my great honor to observe its refining."

Yun Ku Tianjun smiled and waved his hand, then waved his long sleeves, and a pill furnace slowly emerged on the cave wall.
The furnace is pitch black all over, with runes flashing on the furnace body and nine golden dragons surrounding the furnace lid, which are lifelike and emitting powerful spiritual energy.

"This is the secret treasure of the Boro Temple. I will use it to refine the ninth-level Destruction Pill today."

Yun Ku Tianjun raised his hand, and the elixir for refining the elixir floated to the front of the furnace.

The most eye-catching thing is a snow lotus.
It was about one foot tall, white as jade, and emitting a cool light.
There are nine petals in total, with a faint halo flashing on them, and flashes of light appearing from time to time. You can tell at a glance that they are extremely precious.

It is the main ingredient of the 'Nine-Level Snow Lotus' and the 'Nine-Level Destruction Pill'.

With a flick of his finger, a stream of spiritual energy enveloped the Snow Lotus.
"When tempering with fire, the temperature must be stable and fine-tuned according to the reaction of the medicinal materials. The impurities in this spiritual herb are stubborn, so you need to be patient."

Zhou Xun stared closely as Yun Ku Tianjun controlled the Lihuo with ease. The impurities turned into black smoke and dissipated. The spiritual herbs became more colorful and the spiritual energy became richer.

Afterwards, Yun Ku Tianjun used the fire of separation to refine other medicinal materials one by one, removing all impurities.

Then, Yun Ku Tianjun formed seals with his hands, the Li fire was extinguished, the Zhengyang fire appeared, and the temperature of the cave rose sharply.

He put the refined herbs into the Zhengyang Fire to stimulate their medicinal properties.

"To stimulate the medicinal properties, the timing and temperature must be precise. If it is too short, it will be insufficient, and if it is too long, it will be over-consumed."

Zhou Xun listened attentively and observed the changes in the herbs. Some expanded, some contracted, and Yun Ku Tianjun could always adjust them in time.

The medicinal properties have been stimulated, the Xuanyin fire rises, and the deep blue emits a hint of chill.

Yun Ku Tianjun put the medicinal materials into the Xuan Yin fire to fuse them.

At this moment, he looked focused, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something.

The medicinal materials sometimes repelled each other, making a "sizzling" sound. Fortunately, Yun Ku Tianjun skillfully blended them and gradually integrated them into one, eventually condensing into five pill embryos emitting colorful light.

"It's done! This pill only needs to be nurtured for another three days, and the ninth-level Destruction Pill will be ready."

Three days later, Zhou Xun put the five jade bottles into the storage bag and left.

In the following days, Zhou Xun stayed in the cave in the base camp to practice.

Time passes day by day,

Another two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the training room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

Five years had passed since he last cultivated his life spirit plant. Which of the fourth-grade medium-quality spirit plants he cultivated before successfully reached the fourth-grade top-quality?
It is also time to extract the essence of the elixir to improve the spiritual roots.
It's a pity that he has been stationed on the front line of the Western Desert for these years and cannot leave in a short time.

And he couldn't let his real body come here,

Therefore, Zhou Xun planned to use this elixir to improve the spiritual root qualifications of his incarnation.

In the training room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

With a thought, a jade-colored spiritual herb about one foot long floated in front of Zhou Xun.
Its surface was filled with spiritual energy and sparkling light, and a strong wood spiritual power emanated from it.
It was the fourth-grade, mid-quality Biyun grass that he had personally refined five years ago. It was an extremely precious wood-attributed elixir.

Now, after five years of cultivation, he has successfully reached the fourth level of excellence.

It can be said to be otherworldly.

Looking at this magical herb, Zhou Xun clasped his hands together and performed the formula of Ningchun Sutra.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is excess damage."

He chanted the incantation and lightly pointed his finger at the Green Cloud Grass. Immediately, the surrounding vitality was attracted and gathered together.

Soon, a green light appeared above the spiritual herb, emitting a soft glow.

Then, Zhou Xun carefully controlled the ball of light to move towards his body.

The moment the ball of light touched the body, the essence melted into it.
Zhou Xun felt himself being enveloped by a familiar warmth, and then he felt refreshed, as if he had been sublimated.

"Next, we need to check the changes in our spiritual root qualifications!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a four or five foot-sized

The treasure that is shaped like a sundial is exactly the spirit-measuring disk.

Then, Zhou Xun placed his hands on the spirit-testing plate and activated it with magic spells.

A ray of light flashed, Zhou Xun looked at the spirit board and smiled slightly:
"Thunder Spirit Root Sensitivity 82 points,"

Then he recited the mantra of "Purple Thunder Art", absorbed the spiritual energy, and guided it to circulate in the Great Circulation.
Eventually it turned into spiritual power and merged into the Nascent Soul in Dantian...

An hour later, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes and looked inward.

Realize the changes in yourself,

"Yes, although it is only a slight improvement, the bonus to the cultivation speed is not slow!"
