Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 862: Meet Fairy Xinyue again and sneak into Luoyang Immortal Sect!
"who!"

Fairy Xinyue shouted tenderly, and turned back to look at the place where the spiritual energy was fluctuating.
A clear and otherworldly figure slowly emerged from the spiritual light, looking at her gently.

"Senior Sister, I'm back." Zhou Xun said softly, with a hint of emotion in his voice after a long separation.

Fairy Xinyue stared at him blankly.
"Junior brother, is it really you? I am not dreaming!"

Then she showed an expression of disbelief, opened her mouth wide, and a tear suddenly slid down her jade-like cheek from the corner of her eye.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid that the person in front of her was just an illusion and would disappear if touched.

But the next moment, she could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She took light steps and threw herself into Zhou Xun's arms like a breeze.

"Junior brother, you are finally back!" She hugged Zhou Xun's waist tightly, her voice choked with sobs, full of deep longing and grievance.
"Do you know how much I have missed you over the years?"

Zhou Xun felt the soft body of the beauty in his arms, and his nose was filled with her faint orchid fragrance.

He gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Senior Sister, am I back?"

Fairy Xinyue raised her face, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, but she could not hide her joy.

She stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked Zhou Xun's face, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to confirm that all this was real.

"When you left, I thought... I thought you would never come back!" She bit her lip and said nothing more, but the fear and attachment in her eyes were clearly visible.

Zhou Xun held her soft hand and said softly, "I promised you, and I won't break my promise! Now that it's over, I will come back to see you immediately."

Fairy Xinyue stared at him, and suddenly burst into laughter, with tenderness in her eyes: "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."

Her voice was soft but full of affection, as if these few short words had expressed all her thoughts.

The two stood facing each other, and the air around them seemed to become charming. Fairy Xinyue's cheeks turned slightly red, and her eyes were like water, with a bit of shyness, but she was reluctant to look away.

Then she put her face on his chest and whispered, "Brother, without you here, Lingfeng Hall has become deserted."

Zhou Xun chuckled, gently lifted her chin with his fingertips, looked into her shy eyes, and slowly lowered his head.

Fairy Xinyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not dodge. She just closed her eyes slightly and welcomed his request.

Her body trembled slightly, and then she fell limp in his arms.

a long time,

Fairy Xinyue's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were sparkling, her breathing was slightly rapid, she bit her lower lip lightly and whispered, "Junior brother, let's go back to the room."

The voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, but it carried undisguised affection.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, stretched out his hands and picked her up horizontally. Fairy Xinyue exclaimed, then buried her face in his shoulder in shame, not daring to look up.

He strode towards her boudoir, and the restrictions along the way automatically opened, completely isolating her from the outside world.

In the boudoir, a faint fragrance lingered, the gauze curtains were lightly hanging, and a pot of unfinished spiritual tea was placed on the table.
The clothes gradually faded, and the bed curtains swayed.
Three days later, the morning light was dimming inside Lingfeng Hall.

Zhou Xun stood in front of the window, looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the distance with a calm expression. Behind him, Xinyue Fairy was lazily leaning on the couch.
Her long black hair fell like a waterfall on her snow-white shoulders, and her eyes gazed at his back gently.

"Junior brother, after coming back this time...are you leaving again?" she asked softly, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.

Zhou Xun turned around, walked over to sit beside her, held her hand, and said softly: "I won't leave for the time being."

"For now?" Fairy Xinyue's eyes dimmed, and then she forced a smile.
"Yes, with your talent, how could you be trapped in this small Lingfeng Hall?"

Zhou Xun shook his head and stroked her cheek lightly with his fingertips: "It's not that I'm sleepy, but some things have to be settled eventually. Besides, I will be back!"

Fairy Xinyue stared at him, as if trying to see something from his eyes, and said seriously: "No matter what you want to do, I will wait for you."

"I know!" Zhou Xun smiled lightly, waved his hand, and took out a jade bottle.
"Oh, right. I've seen that Senior Sister's cultivation has reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage for a while. This pill can help Senior Sister reach the middle Nascent Soul stage!"

Fairy Xinyue was slightly startled. She took the jade bottle, and the moment she opened the cork, a clear elixir fragrance filled the air, causing the spiritual power in her body to slightly boil.

Her beautiful eyes widened and she asked in surprise, "Is this a fourth-grade, mid-grade Deliverance Pill? Junior Brother, where did you get it from?"

Zhou Xun smiled without saying anything, and just gently pinched her fingertips: "It was obtained by chance, so please accept it, Senior Sister."

Fairy Xinyue looked at him, with both emotion and complexity in her eyes. She said softly:
"The Deliverance Pill is extremely precious. Even in the Jilingfeng Hall, it is difficult to obtain one. Junior Brother, you are so good to me!"

Zhou Xun shook his head and smiled faintly: "It's just a pill!"

Then he said seriously: "Sister, find a time to take the pill, I will protect you."

Fairy Xinyue nodded.

Half a month later,

In the training room, Fairy Xinyue sat cross-legged and swallowed the Deliverance Pill into her stomach.

The pill entered her body and immediately turned into a mighty torrent of spiritual power, washing her meridians. She frowned slightly, a faint spiritual light appeared around her body, and her aura began to rise steadily.

Zhou Xun stood guard in the hall to make sure no one disturbed him.

……

Three days later, clouds suddenly rolled over the sky above Lingfeng Hall, and a bright spiritual light shot up into the sky, attracting nearby disciples to stop and watch.

"Uncle Xinyue has made a breakthrough!"

"Middle Nascent Soul Stage... Lingfeng Hall has gained another powerful person!"

Inside the cave, Fairy Xinyue slowly opened her eyes, aura flowing in her eyes, and her aura was several times stronger than before. She looked at Zhou Xun and smiled: "Junior brother, I succeeded."

Zhou Xun nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "Congratulations, Senior Sister."

Fairy Xinyue stood up and said, "Thank you! If it weren't for you, I would have to practice hard for at least dozens or hundreds of years, and I might not even be able to reach this realm in my lifetime!"

Zhou Xun gently stroked her back: "Between you and me, why should I thank you?"

Fairy Xinyue looked up at him, suddenly bit her lip, and said as if she had made up her mind: "Junior brother, let me go with you this time."

Zhou Xun was startled: "Senior Sister?"

She looked determined: "I know what you are going to do is definitely dangerous, I don't want to wait for you here alone anymore."

Zhou Xun shook his head: "The more people there are, the easier it is to expose what I am going to do!"

Fairy Xinyue looked at him for a long time, finally lowered her eyes and whispered: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Then, Zhou Xun stayed in Lingfeng Hall for another three months before he left.

He did not forget his own affairs. This time he returned to Luoyang Continent, his ultimate goal was still to obtain the Tianyuan Spirit Armor in the secret library of Luoyang Immortal Sect.

"Okay, Senior Sister, I should leave now!"

Outside Lingfeng Hall, the breeze is blowing gently and the shadows of bamboos are swaying.

Zhou Xun was suspended in the sky, his robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes looking calmly into the distance. Fairy Xinyue was standing beside him, her white hands tightly grasping his sleeves, her fingertips slightly white.

"You must come back!" Zhou Xun looked at her deeply, nodded and said no more, turned around and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

One day later,

Luoyang Fairy City Teleportation Hall,

A tall man walked out, with the cultivation level of the early Jindan stage. This man was Zhou Xun who had changed his identity.

He has now broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and with the characteristics of the Thousand Masks, his transformation would only be discovered if one met Fang Jiuzun in person and carefully investigated with spiritual sense.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xun was so bold to come to Luoyang Immortal Sect again.

Zhou Xun chose a restaurant to sit down, ordered a spiritual meal and ate slowly, but his mind was always on how to exchange for the spiritual armor.

His idea was to capture a Luoyang Immortal Sect Yuanying, and then use the Thousand Faces Mask to replace his identity.

Then go to the secret library to exchange.

"According to the description on the jade slip, this set of Tianyuan Spirit Armor requires 180,000 contribution points to be exchanged, which is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon!"

"If I want to exchange it through legitimate channels, I must at least replace it with a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!"

"After all, the number of top-grade magic weapons is far less than that of great cultivators. If a cultivator in the early or middle stage of the Nascent Soul goes to the secret library to exchange for top-grade magic weapons, it will really be a bit conspicuous!"

Therefore, the one he wants to capture must be a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But there is another problem.
It was the list from last time, which was written by the Seventh Elder. This was the core of the Luoyang Immortal Sect.

Therefore, this list is likely to be the core secret library.
Just like the Imperial Treasury of the Great Jin Dynasty, only some trusted people are qualified to access it.

This can also be seen from the exquisite treasures on the list.
Therefore, even if he obtained the status of a great immortal master, he might not be eligible for the exchange.

In addition, after obtaining the identity, contribution points are also a problem.
One hundred and eighty thousand could almost exchange for a top-grade magic weapon, so it must be a huge sum.

Zhou Xun's eyes swept across the prosperous Luoyang Immortal City outside the window. On the street, several monks dressed in Luoyang Immortal Sect uniforms flew by on their swords, causing passers-by to avoid them.

"It seems that we need to find out the situation inside the Immortal Sect first."

Then Zhou Xun prepared to stand up.

Just at this time,

There was a commotion downstairs, and a young man dressed in purple and gold slowly walked up. The monks around him saluted him and called him "Deacon Zhao".

"Deacon?" Zhou Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned him with his spiritual sense. This person was only in the middle stage of Jindan, but he seemed to have a high status in the Immortal Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the origin of Deacon Zhao?" Zhou Xun pretended to be curious and asked the monk at the next table.

The monk lowered his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are from outside, right? Deacon Zhao Wuya is the disciple of the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. Although his cultivation is not high, his words carry a lot of weight in the sect."

"Zhou Xun's eyes gleamed, and he had something in mind."

For the next three days, Zhou Xun secretly observed Zhao Wuya's every move.

This person goes to the Immortal Sect's Mission Hall to handle affairs at noon every day, has a meal at the "Zuixianlou" at noon, and then returns to the sect to practice. His life is extremely regular.

The most important thing is that Zhao Wuya is a loner and has few friends in the sect, which makes him undoubtedly the perfect object of transformation.

Afterwards, Zhou Xun secretly left a mark on this person, and then he patiently waited for an opportunity.

Finally, one day a month later,
The mark representing Zhao Wuya suddenly left Luoyang Fairy City and came to the outside of the city.

Zhou Xun sensed the movement of the mark, his eyes flashed, and his figure disappeared in the restaurant like a ghost.

Thirty thousand miles outside the city,

Zhao Wuya was flying low on his sword, looking anxious.
He accepted a mission from the Law Enforcement Hall and went to deliver a letter to a certain family of his senior brother.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light ahead, and a figure blocked the way.

"Who is it?" Zhao Wuya suddenly became alert, his right hand already on the storage bag at his waist. He offered a talisman without hesitation, but the talisman had just been lit when it was extinguished by an invisible restriction!
At the same time, the whole person was imprisoned, and together with the spiritual power in his body, there was no sign of mobilization.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and came out: "Deacon Zhao, I have heard a lot about you."

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is your identity!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
Zhao Wuya's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said calmly, "Senior, I have no grudge against you, why?"

"I'll borrow your identity for you." Zhou Xun interrupted him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared behind Zhao Wuya like a ghost and pointed a finger at the back of his neck. Zhao Wuya felt a black screen before his eyes and then lost consciousness.

In an uninhabited cave

Zhou Xun waved his hand to set up a triple soundproof barrier and began to carefully inspect the spoils.

First is the storage bag——

"The Luoyang Immortal Sect's core disciple token, the Law Enforcement Hall's handwritten warrant, and the jade talisman bestowed by the Law Enforcement Hall's disciples."

Zhou Xun nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed an important role."

at this time,

'uh-huh--'

Zhao Wuya woke up and found that his spiritual power was completely sealed. He couldn't move at all. He looked up in horror and saw Zhou Xun sitting leisurely opposite him, checking his storage bag.
"Awake?" Zhou Xun raised his eyes and said in a flat tone.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Zhao Wuya's voice trembled, "My master is the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. If anything happens to me..."

"I ask, you answer, maybe you can still survive!" After saying that, Zhou Xun asked the first question.
"Do you have any important business to go out of town this time?"

After several hours, Zhou Xun finally got most of the information about Zhao Wuya, including his living habits, his connections inside and outside the sect, and even some of his speaking habits.

Of course, there are some more detailed things that can only be worked out slowly in the future.

The information he had received was enough for him to deal with the situation at hand. Zhou Xun made a hand gesture and restrained Zhao Wuya's whole body, putting him into the spirit beast bag.

Then, with a thought, Zhou Xun's body glowed and he transformed into Zhao Wuya's appearance, and then continued to fly forward.
Soon, Zhou Xun successfully arrived at the sect’s headquarters where his senior brother was. After handing the letter to the Yuanying at the headquarters, he returned to the sect.

With Zhao Wuya's identity token, Zhou Xun returned to the cave inside Luoyang Immortal Sect without any hindrance.

Next, he just needs to slowly inquire about the information and select someone who can truly access the secret library and is easy to deal with.

In fact, Zhao Wuya's master must have access to the secret vault.

However, as someone who can serve as the head of the law enforcement hall, his strength must not be underestimated and he is not easy to control.

Therefore, re-selection is required.
