Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 835: Mid-term peak, old friend promoted!

One month later,
On the front line of the Western Desert, outside the human base camp, a white jade-like flying boat slowly approached from a distance, with two men, one middle-aged and one young, standing on it.
It was none other than Wangchuan Zhenjun Zhou Xun and Qianchuan Zhenjun.

Looking at the undulating, endless camp in the distance, Master Qianchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you and I are finally back!"

Thinking of the previous scene, Master Qianchuan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. This was his first time facing a fourth-level upper-grade ghost king head-on.
It turned out that he couldn't fight against it.

If Zhou Xun had not defeated King Jiuyou in time and came to his aid, it is conceivable that he would have been in danger of death.

"Yes, next, Brother Dao can exchange for the spiritual item that will allow you to become a great monk!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

Zhenjun Qianchuan and he are close friends. If he can become a great cultivator, it will be of great benefit to him.

"I think in a few years, Zhongzhou will have another great monk!"

"Hahaha, then I'll take your good words, brother!" Zhenjun Qianchuan laughed loudly. Back at the base camp, safe and sound, he also regained his usual cheerful and generous self.

Soon, two people fell from the sky.

"Greetings to Master Wangchuan and this senior!" At the entrance, four Jindan-stage guards wearing spiritual armor bowed and saluted, but they also blocked their way.
According to the rules, even if you are a Divine Transformation cultivator, you must take out your token for inspection before entering the camp.
This is to prevent the ghosts from sneaking in.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and took out his identity token. After the verification, the guard made way for him.

"It is my duty, please forgive me, senior!"

Zhou Xun naturally understood their behavior, nodded in greeting, and walked into the camp with Master Qianchuan.
"It seems that your name has spread throughout the human race!" Zhenjun Qianchuan said with emotion. Even the guards in the Jindan stage recognized Zhou Xun's face.

"Brother Dao, you are joking. With your ability, you will soon become famous all over the world!"

The two chatted as they walked towards the Xugongsi.
Master Qianchuan couldn't wait to exchange all the ghost beads in his hand for battle points. After all, the treasures on the list were limited.

If he goes too late and his money has been exchanged by others, he will be in trouble.

"By the way, since we are discussing military merits, the division of profits should be decided in advance!" True Lord Qianchuan spoke slowly.
"We've already agreed on this matter, it's 50-50!" Zhou Xun shook his head.

"My dear brother, you are wrong. This time, we have such a great harvest, all thanks to you. If I still split it 50-50,"

"Where can I put my face?"

"In my opinion, I can just take 20%!" Master Qianchuan thought for a moment and said a number.
"No, how can we change something that has been decided?" Zhou Xun waved his hand.

"My dear brother, are you trying to put me in an unjust position? If so, I would rather not go hunting ghosts with you in the future!"

"In terms of contribution, my dear brother has done far more than me!" Qianchuan said seriously.

Hearing Qianchuan's firm tone, Zhou Xun was also extremely helpless. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said:
"If you want to change it, that's fine, but it can't be 20/80. I'll take advantage of you and take more, so I'll take 60%. How do you think?"

Hearing this, Qianchuan still shook his head.
"No, my original intention of going out this time was to make up for the missing one hundred or so battle merits. With the previous gains, adding another 20% is more than enough!"

"Don't argue with me, my dear brother!"

"That's good, let's divide it this way!" Zhou Xun was helpless.
Then the two of them went out together and walked towards the Xugongsi.

Xugongsi is a huge building covering thousands of feet.
The two walked along the entrance reserved for Nascent Soul cultivators.
Following the passage further in, I finally arrived at a counter. Behind the counter stood two old men. A quick glance at them using my spiritual sense revealed that they were both in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

"It turns out to be Lord Zhou. It looks like we have made another great harvest this time!" The two old men bowed and saluted.

At this time, Master Qianchuan was no longer surprised.
Wherever the two of them arrived, the other party would come up to them and bow, calling them "Master Zhou" or "Master Wangchuan" in an extremely polite manner.

Zhou Xun heard this without saying anything, but waved his hand.
Thousands of ghost beads flew out and piled up into a small hill. The old man was shocked when he saw this:
"It seems that Lord Zhou has also killed a large army of ghosts!"

Soon, the old man had counted all the ghost beads and obtained a total of 187 and 29 points of military merit!

Before Zhou Xun left Western Desert, he had exchanged all his military merit points for Dajin contribution points, so these are all he has now.

Then, Zhou Xun took out his token and handed it over.

The old man took the token, injected spiritual power into it, recorded the information, and returned it to Zhou Xun.

"Wait a minute, I still have some ghost beads, but this time I got them together with Brother Qianchuan!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he took out two more ghost beads.

"This is a fourth-grade, top-grade ghost bead. The Palace Master's moves are truly extraordinary!" The two old men were amazed.
"One of them, 20% will be exchanged for Brother Qianchuan!"

"rest assured!"

In the end, Zhou Xun's military merit points were restored to one thousand, eighty-seven and twenty-nine points.

Then it was the turn of Master Qianchuan. He took out all the ghost beads, plus 20% of the top-grade ghost bead Zhou Xun had given him.

Adding what he already had, it reached more than a thousand points.
It was enough for him to exchange for the 'Ninth Level Destruction Pill'.

After getting the token, Zhenjun Qianchuan's eyes were filled with excitement. He held the token tightly, as if he was holding his hope of being promoted to a great monk.

"I've finally saved enough. Now I can exchange for the spiritual item that allows me to become a great monk!" he muttered to himself, with irrepressible excitement in his voice.

Zhou Xun looked at Master Qianchuan like this and smiled slightly, feeling happy for his old friend.

"Brother Dao, there is no time to lose. Let's go to the treasure exchange place. The spiritual object you have set your sights on may already be coveted by many people. If we go too late, it will be gone."

Zhenjun Qianchuan nodded repeatedly, and the two of them hurried towards the treasure exchange place.

Along the way, the monks passing by cast glances of awe and admiration at Zhou Xun when they saw him, and many of them even whispered about his glorious military exploits.

"That must be Wangchuan Zhenjun Zhou Xun. I heard that he hunted down a large number of ghosts this time and obtained a fourth-level high-quality ghost bead."

"Yes, with him here, our human race has an extra layer of protection on the Western Desert front."

Soon, they arrived at the treasure exchange office.

True Lord Qianchuan spent nine hundred and ninety-nine points to exchange for a 'Ninth Level Destruction Pill', which is the best elixir to assist in advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage.

"I finally got it!" Master Qianchuan excitedly held the jade bottle and put it into his storage bag.

Then he bowed solemnly to Zhou Xun, and Master Qianchuan's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of moisture in his eyes:
"If it weren't for your help, I would never have the chance to become a great cultivator. I will never forget this kindness!"

Zhou Xun quickly supported Master Qianchuan's arm and said gently:
"Brother, you are too kind. We have known each other for a hundred years, and we should help each other. When you make a breakthrough, I will prepare some spiritual wine and drink with you for three days!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qianchuan laughed and patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder:

"Okay! It's a deal!"

After bidding farewell to Master Qianchuan, Zhou Xun flew towards his own cave residence. On the way, he passed by Master Yanmo's cave residence.

Zhou Xun then went to pay a visit, only to learn that Lord Yama had received orders from the Lord of Heaven and had made other arrangements.

After hearing the news, Zhou Xun thought about it for a moment and guessed the truth. In the previous battle, Lord Yan Mo showed that he had already touched the power of the God Transformation, which was a sign that he was about to be promoted to the God Transformation.
I think he has already gone to a secret place to meditate in order to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment.

"Brother Yu Dao, next time we meet, I may have to call you 'Yan Mo Tianjun'!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

After returning to his cave, Zhou Xun called out Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia, and then he entered the training room and began his retreat.

Now that True Lord Qianchuan has begun to impact the late Nascent Soul stage, he naturally cannot fall too far behind.
"During this retreat, I will first raise my cultivation to the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"

Arriving at the practice room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

With a flick of his sleeves, a one-foot-high jade bottle appeared in front of him. Inside was the magical item from heaven and earth that could assist Nascent Soul cultivators in their practice - Frost Dew.

With a wave of his hand, a strong force lifted the bottle and automatically opened the cork.

Then, a drop of clear liquid floated out.

The moment it came out, the temperature of the entire training room dropped by several degrees. Zhou Xun opened his mouth.

Swallow it slowly.

A chill quickly spread throughout my body, and I instantly felt peaceful.

When it reached the abdomen, pure spiritual energy rose up and filled the meridians.

Zhou Xun then practiced the "Purple Sky Thunder Art", guiding it to circulate in the meridians, eventually transforming into spiritual power and merging into the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

Zhou Xun was immersed in this wonderful state of cultivation, and time passed by unknowingly.

In the training room, the air was filled with cold air, and Zhou Xun was surrounded by a layer of light frost mist.

The spiritual power of Condensed Frost Dew circulated in his body. With every great cycle, he could feel the solidification and growth of his Nascent Soul.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Xun's spiritual energy suddenly surged violently, purple lightning flashed around his Nascent Soul, and a majestic aura burst out from his Dantian!
"The peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, lightning flashed in his eyes, and spiritual energy surged around his body, much stronger than before his retreat!

"Ning Shuang Lu is truly extraordinary. It has allowed me to break through to the peak of the middle stage in just two years!" Zhou Xun was delighted. He then restrained his breath and slowly exhaled.

With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia were guarding outside the cave. The two spirit beasts sensed the change in his aura and immediately excitedly transmitted their messages:

"Master, has he reached the peak of the middle stage?"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, how are you doing lately?"

"Hehe, while the master was in seclusion, Xiaojia and I were not idle either. We swallowed a lot of pills. Now our strength has increased a lot. In two years, we will be able to reach the fourth-level intermediate level!" Xiaojin said proudly.

Zhou Xun nodded, then stood up and walked out of the practice room, and went to the pavilion in the courtyard to rest.
Not long after, Xiaojia came out with a plate of spiritual food.
"Master, this is the spiritual meal I made using the meat of a fourth-grade, top-grade monster beast. Please have a taste!"

As he said this, he placed it on the stone table.
The meat pieces on the plate were crystal clear, with a faint glow on the surface and an aroma that made people's appetites grow.

He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, a strong spiritual power dissolved in his mouth and flowed down his throat into his limbs.

"Not bad, the meat is tender and full of energy. Xiaojia's cooking skills have improved a lot." Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction.

“How can such delicious food be paired with good tea?”

Zhou Xun said as he waved his hand and took out three teacups. They were all made of fourth-grade low-quality spiritual jade and were extremely valuable.

Zhou Xun then took out a few leaves of spiritual tea from the tea bag and put them into the teacup.

Then he clasped his hands together and pointed at the teacup!
A flash of spiritual light flew out and hit it, and water in the teacup began to flow, and then it began to boil with a "gurgling sound"!

Wisps of the fragrance of tea began to emanate.

Zhou Xun picked up the teacup and took a sip.

As the tea goes down my throat, I feel it is sweet and moist. A warm current rises from my abdomen and slowly flows through my body, as if all the fatigue and worldly thoughts in my body have been washed away.

As the effect of the spiritual tea gradually emerged, his state of mind became calm and peaceful!
Then he pointed at the spiritual tea to Xiao Jin and Xiao Jia who were serving beside him.

"You two should try it too, it will do you a lot of good!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Then, Zhou Xun took out a jade slip, which recorded the experiences of many cultivators who had advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Now his cultivation has reached the peak of the middle stage, and the next step is to strive for the realm of great cultivator.

With his current cultivation and foundation, if he could be promoted again, he would be able to fight even if he encountered a semi-spiritual treasure.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
On this day, Zhou Xun was meditating in the courtyard.
suddenly,

Sensing a mighty spiritual power wave rising into the sky in the distance, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered together madly, forming a huge spiritual power vortex!

"Is this... a breakthrough phenomenon in the late Nascent Soul stage?"

Zhou Xun focused his eyes and scanned with his spiritual sense, and found that the center of the spiritual power vortex was exactly the cave of Master Qianchuan!
"Brother Dao is about to break through!"

He was delighted and immediately turned into a beam of light and flew towards the cave of Master Qianchuan.

At this time, many cultivators had gathered outside the cave of Master Qianchuan. They were all attracted by the breakthrough phenomenon and were talking about it.

"Master Qianchuan has been in seclusion for more than two years, and today he is finally going to enter the realm of a great cultivator!"

"I heard that he exchanged for a 'Level 9 Destruction Pill'. This pill has a very high success rate for breakthroughs. It seems that our human race will have another late Nascent Soul strongman!"

Zhou Xun landed outside the cave. When everyone saw him coming, they all bowed and said, "Greetings to Master Wangchuan!"

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, his eyes fixed in the direction of the cave.

After a moment, the vortex of spiritual power suddenly shrank, and then a tremendous pressure swept out!

"boom--!"

The door of the cave opened with a bang, and a figure walked out slowly. It was Master Qianchuan!

At this moment, his aura was as strong as the abyss, and his every move carried the power of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. His eyes were as fast as lightning, and his spirits were high!

"Hahaha, my dear brother, I have lived up to your expectations and finally entered the realm of a great cultivator!" True Lord Qianchuan laughed loudly, his voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts and minds of the surrounding cultivators.

Zhou Xun stepped forward, bowed, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Brother Dao. From now on, our human race has gained another great cultivator!"

Master Qianchuan patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder and said with emotion: "If it weren't for your help, how could I be here today? Let's go, we must drink a lot today!"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant!"
