Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 859: Spiritual roots improvement, check storage bags!

Outside the Boluo Temple, the Luoyang Immortal Sect's secret sentries had already laid a net. Regarding this matter, a cultivator from the Boluo Temple had already reported it to Yunku Tianjun.
In order to avoid stimulating Fang Jiuzun too much, and considering that the disciples of Luoyang Xianzong were also doing this in secret, he acquiesced.

After all, there is absolutely no problem for Zhou Xun to stay in the temple.

The person in charge of this matter now is the Seventh Elder, whose name is Liu Yunfeng. He has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is holding a scarlet magic weapon. He stands on the clouds with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at the ground below.

"Have you found anything?" he asked in a deep voice.

A deacon in the early Nascent Soul stage bowed and reported: "Reporting to the elder, there are no less than a hundred monks entering and leaving the temple every day, but they have all been strictly checked and no trace of Zhou Xun has been found yet."

The Seventh Elder's eyes flashed coldly: "Useless! In four years, you can't even find a single person?"

The deacon's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Elder, please understand. The Boro Temple is protected by a great array of divine transformation. It is difficult for our divine consciousness to penetrate it. Moreover..."

He hesitated.
"It seems that Yunku Tianjun intends to protect us. The disciples in the temple are particularly wary of foreign monks. Even though we have activated the hidden agents in the Boro Temple to keep an eye on those who leave the main peak,"

"But there seems to be no trace of Zhou Xun!"

"Hmph!" The Seventh Elder waved his sleeves, and a gust of wind knocked the deacon to the ground.
"Pass the order down. Follow up all suspicious people. Especially those new faces that have appeared recently. Don't let any of them go!"

"Yes!" The deacon hurriedly got up and was about to leave when he was stopped again.

"Wait." The Seventh Elder narrowed his eyes, "Has there been any abnormality recently?"

The deacon thought for a moment and said, "I haven't found anything unusual recently!"

"Okay, let me know if anything happens!"

While the Seventh Elder and the others were discussing how to follow him, Zhou Xun had already walked out of his temporary cave.
Only a jade slip was left on the table, emitting a faint glow, with the following words written on it:

"Master: I will leave the temple for a while and take an old thing. Don't worry about it. - Zhou Xun"

After leaving the cave, he changed into an ordinary foundation-building disciple of the Prajna Temple and went down the main peak.
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he noticed that a disciple not far away had a strange look in his eyes. He looked towards the main peak too frequently.
"I didn't expect that there are spies like you in this temple. You are indeed the number one sect in the human world!" Zhou Xun sneered.
He ignored this person. At this time, he had already transformed himself into someone else using the Thousand Masks. Unless Fang Jiuzun was present, no one would be able to see through his disguise.

Zhou Xun pretended not to know, walked past the man, and then slowly walked away towards the mountain gate.

But the spy who was following them was stunned at the moment, like a walking corpse.
However, when Zhou Xun passed by him just now, he had already used a secret technique to disrupt his soul and destroy his sanity. Although he was still alive now, he had no wisdom at all.

Naturally, it was impossible to report Zhou Xun's news.

Walking out of the mountain gate, Zhou Xun immediately felt something was wrong.

The gate of the Boro Temple is connected to the city of Yangzhou. The monks walking on the street outside the gate are just like the spy.
I looked at the mountain gate too often.

"It seems that Fang Jiuzun really hates me to the core and has created such a big fuss!" Zhou Xun chuckled and walked naturally towards the teleportation hall in the city.

As soon as he walked through the street corner, two people followed him. Both of them were in the Jindan stage and were following him from a distance.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the teleportation hall, and the two Jindan cultivators followed him.

When Zhou Xun stood on the teleportation array leading to Jinyang Fairy City, the two men also stood up, along with the other six people.
The nine people were teleported to the teleportation hall of Jinyang Immortal City together.
Zhou Xun was going to transfer from here to Lingling Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou. Before evacuating from Jiangling Prefecture,
He set up a second teleportation array in Lingling Prefecture.

In this way, even if the Jiangling Mansion's equipment is damaged, it will not affect his future travel to Dajin.

However, just as he stood on the teleportation array leading to Jingzhou, the two men followed him.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he was targeting him.

Soon, the formation was activated and arrived at the Jingzhou Prefecture City Transmission Hall.

Zhou Xun was slow to act.

If he went to Lingling Mansion at this time, there might be a risk of exposing the teleportation array.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun became ruthless and immediately chose Jiangling Mansion and teleported.
Sure enough, only one of the two followed, while the other got on the return teleportation array.

"What did you say? A disciple from the Prajna Temple went to Jiangling Prefecture?"

The Seventh Elder frowned as he listened to his subordinates' report.

"Should I arrange for a Yuanying Deacon to go? I will personally investigate and find the whereabouts of this person. If it is really Zhou Xun, it will be a great achievement!" The middle-aged man thought.
The bounty for the wanted man is also valid for the disciples of Luoyang Xianzong.

If there were a spiritual object that could transform into a god, perhaps he would have a chance to become a god.

A trace of greed flashed in the eyes of the seventh elder Liu Yunfeng, and he immediately stepped onto the teleportation array and headed to Jiangling Prefecture.

In his hand he held a sensing jade talisman, on which flashed the tracking mark left by the Jindan disciple.

"A mere foundation-building cultivator dares to play tricks in front of me?" Liu Yunfeng sneered, his figure turned into a stream of light, and rushed away following the guidance of the mark.

Two hundred thousand miles west of the city, in a desolate valley, the Jindan disciple was waiting anxiously.

Seeing Liu Yunfeng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Elder, the man is in the cave ahead, and I dare not act rashly."

Liu Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, you will be rewarded handsomely when you return." Then he took out a scarlet gourd, which was his natal magic weapon, the "Red Flame Gourd".

Just as he was about to enter the cave, the Jindan disciple suddenly approached him and said, "Elder, I found that the man seemed..."

"It seems like what?" Liu Yunfeng listened attentively.

"It seems that this is the person you are looking for!" The Jindan disciple's voice suddenly became cold and his right hand turned into a purple lightning, which instantly pierced through Liu Yunfeng's Dantian!
"You!" Liu Yunfeng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He looked down at the purple electric arm that pierced his abdomen, then looked up at the gradually changing face - it was Zhou Xun!
"How is this possible?" Liu Yunfeng's mouth was bleeding, his Nascent Soul was trapped in his body by lightning. Only then did he realize that an invisible restriction had been set up around him, isolating him from all movement.

Zhou Xun's face was icy cold, and his arm, which was wrapped in purple lightning, suddenly twisted: "Didn't Fang Jiuzun tell you my true strength? How dare you come after me in person, Seventh Elder?"

"No mercy!" Liu Yunfeng was terrified. He wanted to activate his own magic weapon, but found that all the spiritual power in his body was blocked by the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.

Only then did he understand that the person in front of him was not a Nascent Soul cultivator at all, but a terrifying existence that could fight against a God Transformation cultivator!
"Don't think about it!"

Zhou Xun pressed his left hand on the crown of Liu Yunfeng's head, purple light surged, and he began to search his soul!

Liu Yunfeng let out a shrill scream, and the memories in his sea of ​​consciousness flooded out like a tide.

After a moment, Zhou Xun withdrew his hand, and Liu Yunfeng had collapsed to the ground like mud, with all the spirit gone from his eyes.

"So that's how it is." Zhou Xun digested the results of the soul search, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Luoyang Immortal Sect has deployed secret sentries at important locations outside the Boluo Temple."

He waved his hand and a bolt of lightning and fire burned Liu Yunfeng's body to ashes, not even sparing his Nascent Soul.
After putting away his storage bag, Zhou Xun's figure flashed and changed into Liu Yunfeng's appearance again, even imitating his breath vividly.

"Since you have set up a trap like this," Zhou Xun, who was pretending to be Liu Yunfeng, sneered, "Then I will play with you."

Half a day later, in a cave outside Yangzhou city, more than a dozen Nascent Souls died. These were the monks from Luoyang Xianzong who were arranged to follow Zhou Xun.

Fang Jiuzun can't handle it himself for the time being, so he will collect some interest first.

In a desolate valley 700,000 miles southeast of Lingling Prefecture, a figure descended from the sky. This person was Zhou Xun. This was the second teleportation array he had set up earlier.

Zhou Xun landed at the entrance of the valley and looked around vigilantly.

This valley is located between two steep peaks. There is no grass in the valley, only gray-brown rocks exposed, making it look particularly desolate.

"This is it." Zhou Xun whispered to himself, and a purple lightning condensed at his fingertips, gently passing across the stone wall at the entrance of the valley.

The seemingly ordinary stone wall suddenly began to ripple, revealing a passage that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

He slipped in and the restrictions behind him immediately returned to normal.

The passage was dark and damp, and the rock walls were covered with luminous moss, emitting a faint blue-green light.

Zhou Xun did not use the lighting spell, but walked slowly forward using the light from the moss.

The passage winds downward, and there is a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

Every hundred steps, he would stop to check the warning restrictions hidden in the cracks in the rocks - these restrictions were intact, indicating that no one had ever been here.

After walking about a thousand feet, the passage suddenly opened up and a hemispherical stone chamber appeared in front of them.

In the center of the stone chamber, a teleportation array with a diameter of three meters lay there quietly. The array pattern was outlined by mithril, glowing faintly in the darkness.

Zhou Xun took out five top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and accurately embedded them into the five nodes of the teleportation array.

Then he cast a spell to activate the magic circle.
"buzz"

The array patterns lit up one by one, and Zhou Xun took out a teleportation talisman from his arms and activated it on his chest.

"Teleport!"

As the last spell was cast, Zhou Xun turned into a ray of white light and disappeared on the spot.

I do not know how long it has been,

Zhou Xun felt something solid under his feet, and the dazzling white light gradually dissipated. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a similar stone chamber - this was the teleportation array of the cave on the island in the center of the lake.

"Finally I'm back safely." He breathed a sigh of relief.

Recalling the experience of meeting Fang Jiuzun before,
Now in the entire human world, only the Eastern Wasteland can make him feel a little relieved.
Zhou Xun straightened his robe, pushed open the door and walked out, a long-lost smile appearing on his face.

When I came to the living room, the main character was already waiting there.

After so many years of cultivation, the original body has reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If it weren't for the return of the incarnation this time,

The main body is about to go into seclusion to strive for the late Nascent Soul stage.

With the experience of the incarnation's breakthrough, the success rate of the main body is extremely high.

"You're back. Thank you for your hard work!" Zhou Xun's original body spoke slowly.
"You and I are one, so it's hard to talk about peace!" The incarnation waved his hand and sat down.
The incarnation made a gesture with both hands and pointed towards himself.
Then, a green spiritual light illuminated the entire stone chamber, and then a small green vine about a foot long and the color of jasper was suspended in the air.
There are light fine hairs on the surface, which is very real.

It was the fourth-grade intermediate-quality spiritual medicine "Jade Green Vine" that Zhou Xun had nurtured before.

Now it has been successfully promoted to the fourth level of the best. According to past experience, it can improve the sensitivity of the body's spiritual roots a little.

Looking at the magical medicine in front of him, Zhou Xun no longer hesitated.
He clasped his hands together and performed the formula of Ningchun Sutra.

Soon, a green light appeared above the jade vine, emitting a soft glow. It was the essence of the medicine.

Then, Zhou Xun controlled the ball of light and moved it 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.

then,

Zhou Xun slapped the storage bag on his waist, and a ray of light flew out, landed in front of him, and turned into a one-foot-sized disc.

It's that Ouija board!

I saw Zhou Xun put his hands on the soul measuring board, and then used the magic formula to activate it.

A ray of light flashed, Zhou Xun looked at the spirit board and smiled slightly:
"Wood Spiritual Root Sensitivity 99 points,"

"In this way, I am only one step away from reaching the standard of the so-called innate human body. By then, I will be able to control a certain amount of spiritual power in the Nascent Soul stage!"

"By then, I will also upgrade my avatar to 100 points."

"The main body and the incarnation can all control the power of the spirit in advance. With the help of the Purple Jade Lightning Spear and the Mysterious Sky Spirit Armor, I wonder if they can stop Fang Jiuzun!"

"If we can stop him, we will be truly safe in this human world!"

Although he now has the protection of Yunku Tianjun and Yanmo Zhenjun, relying on outsiders is not a long-term solution.

They can't always arrive in time.
Just like last time, if Lord Yama had been a little slower, this incarnation would have been lost.

After the spiritual root improvement was completed, the original body and the incarnation all entered seclusion.

The main body is to break through the late Nascent Soul stage,

As for the incarnation, after nurturing a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicine again, he took out the storage bags of the seven elders and the dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators and began to count them.

As the seventh elder of Luoyang Immortal Sect,
Although he was promoted not long ago and is not as good as the five elders killed by him before, he should not be underestimated.

Zhou Xun's incarnation sat cross-legged in the quiet room, with more than a dozen storage bags lined up in front of him.

He first picked up the storage bag of the seventh elder Liu Yunfeng and probed into it with his spiritual sense.
With his spiritual consciousness far beyond the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it only took him half a quarter of an hour to erase the mark of his spiritual consciousness.
Open it,
"As expected of an elder of Luoyang Immortal Sect, he is indeed wealthy." Zhou Xun's mouth curled up slightly. He saw nearly a hundred pieces of top-grade spirit stones neatly placed in the storage bag.
There are also more than a dozen jade bottles marked with "Red Yang Pills", which are the pills that can improve the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage.

He continued to explore.
In the corner of the storage bag, an exquisite jade box caught his attention.

When he took it out and opened it, there was a red fruit with golden lines on the surface.

"Red Flame Gold-Patterned Fruit?" Zhou Xun's eyes flashed with surprise. "This is the main ingredient for refining the 'Red Sun Barrier Breaking Pill'. It can increase the success rate of the Nascent Soul Peak's breakthrough to the Divine Transformation!"

Although the effect is limited, it is also a very precious spiritual object.

It’s a pity that it is not one of the twelve main ingredients of the 'Nine Source Star Dew', which is quite a pity.

Continuing to look down, he suddenly found a jade slip.

"This is the list of exchange for the Luoyang Immortal Sect's treasure house!"
