Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 866: Poor Feng Zishan, Zhou Xun returns to Dongdong Desert!
Half a month later, Feng Zishan returned to Luoyang Fairy City alone.

"I've met the hall master!"

"Greetings to Hall Master Feng!"

The disciples of Luoyang Immortal Sect that they met on the road all bowed and saluted towards Lu Changan.

Lu Chang'an nodded slightly and walked towards the depths of the Immortal Sect.

Soon, a majestic palace appeared before his eyes. The palace was carved from a whole piece of "Xuanming Obsidian" and its surface was covered with runes.
A bronze plaque hangs above the main entrance of the hall, with four ancient characters "Luoyang Secret Library" inscribed on it. The writing is vigorous and powerful, faintly revealing the pressure of the Spirit Transformation Stage.

It was obviously the work of Luoyang Tianjun.

Four guards in silver armor stood on both sides. A quick glance at them revealed that they were all in the late Jindan stage of cultivation. They exuded a fierce murderous aura and were obviously experienced warriors.

"Greetings, Hall Master Feng!" The leading guard held his halberd across his chest and bowed slightly, saying, "Tianjun's order, this is a secret vault, and everyone needs to show their identity token!"

Feng Zishan smiled slightly and took out a green token from his arms: "I am Feng Zishan, the head of the Mission Hall, and I have come here to exchange treasures."

The guard took the token and checked it carefully, then compared it with the face of 'Feng Zishan', and then stepped back: "Verification is correct, please come in, Master Feng!"

"I was just doing my duty. Please forgive me if I have offended you!" the guard bowed.

"Too much worry!"

Feng Zishan waved his hand and walked straight in.

After walking through a long corridor, we finally arrived in front of a counter.
Sitting behind the counter was a hunched old man with his silver hair combed into a simple bun. Although he looked old and frail,
The whole body exudes the spiritual energy fluctuations of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"It's Hall Master Feng. What a rare guest." The old man raised his eyelids, his voice hoarse but full of energy.

"Meet Mr. Mo!"

The person in charge of guarding the secret vault is the sect's elder. Although his strength is not top-notch, his status is extremely high.

Feng Zishan, transformed by Lu Changan, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Mo, I came here today to exchange for a treasure."

Mo Lao's cloudy eyes moved slightly, and his skinny fingers took out an ancient bronze mirror from his sleeve: "You know the rules."

Feng Zishan understood and placed the identity token on the mirror. Ripples appeared on the mirror, revealing the three small golden characters "Feng Zishan" and the amount of 210,000 contribution points.

"What do you want to exchange?" Elder Mo asked slowly.

"Tianyuan spiritual armor 'Tianquan'." 'Feng Zishan' said.

Elder Mo's cloudy eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "180,000 contribution points, are you sure?"

"Sure." Feng Zishan remained calm.

Elder Mo looked at him deeply, and suddenly made hand gestures and chanted a spell.

The wall behind the counter slid open silently, revealing a deep passage. At the same time, rows of ancient bronze lamps, with their wicks spontaneously burning without fire, emitted a faint blue light.

"Follow me closely. If you take a wrong step, you will die at your own risk."

Feng Zishan followed closely behind and noticed that the ground of the passage was covered with obscure array patterns. Mo Lao's seemingly random steps actually followed some mysterious rules.

After passing through a winding passage, the two came to a bronze gate. The gate was engraved with patterns of the sun, moon and stars, and in the center was a groove of a Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish.

Elder Mo inserted the token into the groove, and the door slowly opened. In an instant, precious light shone everywhere, and dozens of stone platforms were spread out in it, with a semicircular light shield inverted on top.
There is a treasure floating in each light shield.

In the most conspicuous place, a silver-white battle armor is floating quietly, and the body of the armor is glowing with star-like light. It is the Tianyuan spiritual armor "Tianquan".

"You go in. Master Feng should know the subsequent procedures!" the old man asked.

Of course I know.

According to the regulations, Mr. Mo was not qualified to enter the treasure room. His task was just to open the passage to the secret vault.

As for entering the secret vault to take treasures, it is up to the person who redeems them.

Lu Changan looked at the treasure in front of him without any fluctuation on his face. As a person who came from the fairyland, he had seen all kinds of treasures.
To him, what was happening before his eyes was nothing but commonplace.

Soon, he came to the Tianyuan Spirit Armor, waved his hand, and took out the token of 'Feng Zishan'.

He gently pressed it on the groove of the stone platform, which just matched the token.
Just as the token was put in, a faint light flashed and a series of roaring sounds came from the stone platform.
The light shield slowly dissipated, and the Tianyuan spiritual armor 'Tianquan' was fully revealed in front of Lu Changan.

The silver-white armor was glowing with star-like light, and each armor leaf was engraved with mysterious runes, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

Lu Chang'an raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and reached out to gently stroke the surface of the spirit armor. The moment his fingertips touched it, the spirit armor suddenly made a buzzing sound and automatically decomposed into hundreds of parts, covering his body like flowing water.

"It's worthy of being a battle armor produced by Tianyuan City." Lu Chang'an felt the perfect fit between the spiritual armor and the flesh body, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"It's a pity that for the chance of becoming a god, I have to reluctantly give it up!"

Shaking his head, Lu Changan put away the spiritual armor and the token and put them into the storage bag.

Then, as he turned around and was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of another stone platform in the corner.

There was a simple bronze token suspended there, with the word "Ling" engraved on the surface, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

"This is..." Lu Changan's pupils shrank slightly, "Suspended Spirit Liquid?"

He walked closer quickly and saw the nameplate below the token read: "Mixed spiritual liquid can promote the growth of spiritual trees!"

Lu Changan's eyes sparkled. This unexpected discovery made him change his mind. He quickly took out Feng Zishan's identity token, but found that the contribution points were not enough.

"What a pity." He sighed softly, and suddenly a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "However, now that I have seen it, this identity will soon be useless!"

He was seen making hand gestures with his hands, and seven green halos appeared between his eyebrows.

A green vine flew out from one of the light wheels, silently penetrated the light shield, and wrapped around the transparent jade bottle.

The token vibrated violently, as if about to trigger an alarm.

Lu Changan took out a silver talisman from his arms and stuck it on the vine. The talisman burned and turned into a layer of silver light film that wrapped around the token, isolating all fluctuations.

"It's mine!" He chuckled and put the jade bottle into his sleeve.

After doing all this, Lu Changan straightened his robe and walked out of the secret vault with a normal expression. Outside, Mr. Mo was still sitting behind the counter and just nodded slightly when he saw him come out.

"Has the redemption been completed?"

"Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your care." Lu Chang'an bowed and left.

Just half an hour after he left, the talisman on a stone platform in the secret library suddenly dimmed and fell from above. Then, the stone platform exploded and bursts of spiritual light came out.

Mr. Mo, who was dozing off at the counter, suddenly woke up and looked over.
"Oh no, something happened in the secret library!"

He immediately opened the passage and came to the secret vault. Looking at the damaged stone platform, his face looked extremely ugly.

Generally speaking, if the treasures in the stone platform are taken away abnormally, the stone platform will be damaged.

"Feng! Zi! Shan!"

Mr. Mo immediately took out a communication talisman, and soon two figures dropped from the sky and landed in front of the secret vault.

It is the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder who are now in charge of Luoyang and the internal affairs of the Immortal Sect.

"What happened?" asked the fifth elder in a deep voice. He was wearing a purple-gold Taoist robe, had a dignified face, and exuded the powerful aura of a peak Nascent Soul stage.

Mr. Mo bowed quickly and reported what had happened in detail.

After hearing this, the Sixth Elder frowned and said, "Feng Zishan? As a mission leader, there is no reason for him to do such a thing!"

Although two hundred thousand contribution points is not a small amount, it is easy for him to get it!"

The fifth elder snorted coldly and waved his sleeves. An ancient bronze mirror appeared in the air, and ripples appeared on the mirror surface, showing the image of Feng Zishan entering the secret library just now.

At this moment, a disciple came running over with a look of doubt on his face.
"What's wrong?" The Fifth Elder recognized that this was the disciple guarding the soul lamp.
"Master Feng Feng of the Mission Hall has fallen!"

The Fifth Elder's pupils suddenly contracted when he heard this. He turned around abruptly and looked at the image in the ancient bronze mirror. In the mirror, 'Feng Zishan' was walking towards Tianyuan Lingjia calmly.

"What a great trick!" The fifth elder gritted his teeth.
"I remember that half a month ago, Feng Zishan and Lu Changan left the Immortal City together!"

"The Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master left together."

The Fifth Elder's face was as gloomy as water. "Immediately activate the mountain protection formation and block all transmission channels. Instruct all hall masters and elders to search for Lu Ping'an with all their strength! If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body!"

Just as the Luoyang Immortal Sect was in shock, Lu Ping'an had already returned to his original appearance and was flying leisurely on the top of a mountain.

In half an hour, with his cultivation level, running at full speed, he could travel thousands of miles away. With the addition of the teleportation array and the change of identity,

Even though the Luoyang Immortal Sect is spread across every continent,
He was playing with the bottle of suspended spiritual liquid in his hand with a faint smile on his lips.

"With this, plus Zhou Xun's spiritual tea tree," Lu Ping'an whispered to himself, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
"The breakthrough to the God Transformation is just around the corner."

On the other hand, after Zhou Xun and Lu Chang'an had reached an agreement, they set out to return to the East Wilderness to take away the fourth-grade mid-quality cloud tea tree.

However, before leaving, he planned to purchase a batch of treasures, the most important of which was the Infant-Forming Pill.

He has many disciples, but now because of offending Luoyang Tianjun, all of them are forced to retreat to the East Desert.

The spiritual energy there has only been restored for less than a hundred years.
Many spiritual creatures in heaven and earth have not yet been created, and there are very few spiritual creatures that can form infants.
Therefore, Zhou Xun planned to purchase a few infant-forming pills and return to the Eastern Wilderness.

After all, he now has numerous spirit stones in his hands, but these spirit stones are no longer of much use to him now.

All the things that were useful to him were the most advanced treasures in the human world.
But those are no longer something that can be bought with spirit stones.

When one’s cultivation and status reach a certain level, spirit stones are just a number.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the largest shop in Luoyang Fairy City.

Zhou Xun stood in front of a magnificent pavilion, looking up at the three large gold-plated characters "Wanyang Pavilion" on the plaque.

This seven-story building is made entirely of "Red Sun Jade" and glows a faint red light in the sun.

"Senior, please come in!"

A young servant in blue clothes came up to the door quickly. Sensing the unfathomable aura from Zhou Xun, he became more respectful.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly and followed him into the pavilion.

As soon as you enter the door, a rich spiritual energy hits you in the face. There is a small fountain in the center of the hall, and the spring water is actually a rare "spiritual marrow fluid".

"What does senior need? We have everything in Wanbao Pavilion." The servant smiled flatteringly.

"Infant-forming Pill." Zhou Xun said lightly.

The servant was startled when he heard this and bent even lower: "Senior, please follow me to the sixth floor. Treasures like this must be received by the shopkeeper himself."

Climbing the carved stairs, Zhou Xun noticed that there were restrictions on each floor, and the restrictions became stronger the higher he went.

Arriving at the sixth floor, the environment suddenly becomes much more elegant, with sandalwood display cabinets placed all around, displaying various rare materials.

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy the Nascent Soul Pill?" A middle-aged cultivator in a brocade robe came forward. He was at the early Nascent Soul stage and had a golden emblem of the Wanbao Pavilion on his chest.

Zhou Xun nodded and said concisely: "I wonder how much inventory your pavilion has?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise. "We only have three of these treasures in stock. Each is priced at five million spirit stones."

"But it needs to be exchanged with top-grade spirit stones, or equivalent spirit objects above the fourth level. Ordinary high-grade spirit stones will not do!"

Zhou Xun said nothing and took out a storage bag and placed it on the table: "Here are fifteen top-grade spirit stones and three infant-forming pills. I want them all."

The shopkeeper took a quick look with his spiritual sense, his expression changed slightly, and then he smiled: "Daoyou, you are so straightforward! Please wait a moment!"

"Those who have fifteen top-grade spirit stones, even if they are Yuanying Zhenjun, can only be produced by those who are in the middle stage or above!"

But in a moment,
The shopkeeper then took out three jade boxes from the inner room. There was a spirit-sealing talisman on each jade box, and one could vaguely feel the surging spiritual power inside.

"Fellow Taoist, please inspect the goods."

Zhou Xun opened the jade box, and a pill the size of a longan lay quietly inside, emitting an enticing fragrance.

After a careful inspection, he nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's authentic."

"The payment is done, goodbye!"

After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared from the window.

"Fellow."

Looking at Zhou Xun's hurried appearance, the shopkeeper shook his head.

After obtaining the Infant-forming Pill, Zhou Xun immediately left Luoyang Immortal Sect and arrived at Qingyun Mansion through the teleportation array.

However, when he left, he clearly felt that the entire Immortal City had become more tense. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like him who wanted to take the teleportation array had to be questioned.

Fortunately, no one could see through his thousand masks, so he was able to leave easily.

"The mission hall master Feng Zishan has fallen!"

Zhou Xun was mumbling about this news.

He remembered that Lu Chang'an was the deputy head of the Mission Hall.
Could it be that he also learned his own methods, and his contribution points were not enough, so he tricked Feng Zishan out?
Use his token to exchange for the Tianyuan Spirit Armor.

"If that's the case, the danger level of this road in Chang'an is higher than I thought!"

If he doesn't understand others, doesn't he understand himself?

Then, Zhou Xun took the three infant-forming pills and returned to the Eastern Wilderness through the teleportation array, and then went straight to the Jingxin Pavilion.

Looking at the cloud tea trees planted nearby, Zhou Xun liked them more and more.

This is not a spiritual tea tree, but two Tianyuan spiritual armors. Then he waved his hand, took out the tea tree and put it into a five-foot-sized jade box.

Then he planted another third-level cloud tea tree.

As long as the Ningchun Sutra is there, this new Yunwu Tea tree can be cultivated to the fourth-grade mid-quality in a maximum of a hundred years.

Time flies, and soon half a year passed and it was the day he and Lu Changan agreed upon.
