Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 867: Generous Lu Changan gets another half spiritual treasure!

Zhou Xun arrived at a mountain thousands of miles away from the agreed location half a month ahead of schedule.

After searching around for a while, he nodded with satisfaction. The spiritual energy in this place was extremely thin. It was not enough even to support a cultivator in the early stage of Qi training.

No one will come here.

Then he clapped his hand to his waist and took out a wooden box, which contained none other than his 'Five Heavens Purple Thunder Formation'!
Zhou Xun is now considered a fourth-level mid-grade array master, so he made some simple repairs on his own. Although it was not completely restored,
Even if it can only exert 70% of its power,
Among the fourth-level superior magic arrays, it is already at the top level.

After all, it is a rare lightning array, which can attack, defend and trap enemies in one.
Having this formation here is enough to serve as his backup. Even if Lu Changan has bad intentions at that time, he is not afraid.

He threw the wooden box lightly, and 360 battle flags flew out and hovered in the air.
Zhou Xun closed his eyes slightly, made hand gestures as fast as lightning, and muttered something.

Purple lightning burst out from his fingertips and accurately hit each flag in the formation. The flags immediately hummed and complex lightning patterns appeared on their surfaces.

"fall!"

With a light shout, three hundred and sixty formation flags flew out like flowers from heaven and were inserted around the mountain in specific positions.

The moment each formation flag landed on the ground, it stirred up a circle of purple lightning ripples.

"Thunder gathers in the five heavens, and purple air comes from the east!"

Zhou Xun shot out his last ray of light.
"Rumble--"

The entire mountain began to tremble, and thunderclouds in the sky surged wildly.

Countless purple lightning bolts fell from the clouds, but were pulled by the five array plates and transformed into a purple translucent light shield that enveloped the entire mountain!
Thunder dragons were roaming and electric snakes were dancing wildly on the surface of the light shield, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun waved his flag, and the light of the formation gradually retracted, eventually turning into a thin layer of purple light film, which was almost imperceptible if you didn't look carefully.

But the terrifying power contained in it caused the surrounding air to distort.

"With this formation protecting us, we should be safe and sound."

Zhou Xun nodded in satisfaction, then he flashed and sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain, closing his eyes to rest.

Three days passed quickly.

Also thousands of miles away from the valley, a figure suddenly appeared, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This place is a thousand miles away from there. We won't be discovered, and it only takes a moment to evacuate!"

As he said this, he waved his hand, and a wooden box flew out, and array flags flew out and landed on the ground, and the back began to grow wildly.

It turned into a forest nearly ten thousand feet high, lush and green.

"That's right. With my 'Yi Mu Qian Lin Formation', even if the old demon wants to do something, I have a back-up plan to counter it!"

Then the whole person disappeared among the mountains and ridges.

The remaining ten days passed in a flash.

A figure suddenly emerged from a large tree, and then turned into a beam of green light, rushing up into the sky.
But in the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he appeared in the nameless valley half a year ago, sitting cross-legged on a big rock, waiting quietly.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was noon.

There was still no sign of Zhou Xun here, Lu Changan frowned slightly.
"You wouldn't dare to deceive Lu!"

At the same time, on a mountain a thousand miles away, a pair of eyes suddenly opened.

‘Crack! ’

Suddenly, the sound of lightning arcs was heard in the air, and it was Zhou Xun.

"The time has come, let's get going!"

Then it turned into a purple lightning, shot up into the sky, and rushed towards the valley.

And just as Zhou Xun left, a shadow followed behind him.

From the facial features, he looks exactly like him.
It was actually Zhou Xun's real body, who used the wood escape technique and appeared among the trees below.

Facing an old monster like Lu Chang'an who had been refining the void for ten thousand years, it would never be too careful, so Zhou Xun decided to act together with his stronger original body.

The last time they fought together was when they dealt with Bai Gu Zhen Jun. Now they are joining forces again.

Even if the spirit was in front of him, Zhou Xun was confident that he could escape.

Finally, the main body hid on a big tree five hundred miles away from the valley.

"Old Lu, you came quickly!" The Blood Demon Patriarch laughed, landed in front of Lu Changan and patted him on the shoulder!

"I'm late, Senior Lu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time!" Zhou Xun bowed slightly.

"My friend, you are joking. We didn't agree on a specific time. As long as you arrive today, it won't be considered a breach of contract!" Lu Changan smiled lightly.
Then he waved his hand, and a set of coffee table and tea sets appeared in front of him.

"My friend, you have cultivated the spiritual tea tree yourself, which shows that you are also a tea lover. I recently got a portion of fourth-grade high-quality spiritual tea, and it would be a good opportunity for the three of us to taste it together!"

"Sorry to bother you!" Zhou Xun smiled faintly, took out a futon and sat on the ground.

As for the Blood Demon Ancestor, he sat on the grass carefree.

Lu Chang'an smiled slightly, and with a flick of his sleeves, a set of crystal jade tea sets appeared out of thin air.

The tea tray is carved from thousand-year-old cold jade, with fine ice crystal patterns condensed on the surface. The teapot is made of red flame crystal, and flowing flames can be vaguely seen inside.

"This tea is called 'Ice and Fire' and is harvested from the magical tea tree at the junction of the Arctic ice sheet and the volcano in the south."

As Lu Chang'an spoke, he took out a jade box. Inside the box were seven tea leaves neatly arranged, half of them were as blue as ice, and half were as red as fire.

Zhou Xun's gaze narrowed slightly, and he saw that the surface of the tea leaves had naturally formed yin-yang fish patterns, frost flowers were condensed on the ice leaves, and tiny flames were dancing on the fire leaves. It was truly magical.

Lu Chang'an tapped his fingertips, and a stream of spiritual power gushed out from the mouth of the pot, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. The moment the spring water fell into the pot, he pinched the ice seal with his left hand and the fire seal with his right hand, and two completely different spiritual powers were injected at the same time.

"Ice and fire come from the same source, yin and yang complement each other!"

The teapot suddenly floated up, half of it was covered with frost and the other half was burning with flames. The water in the pot was split into two colors, blue on the left and red on the right, forming a dynamic Tai Chi pattern in the pot.

The Blood Demon Patriarch was amazed and said, "Old turtle, you are really good at the skill of 'Ice and Fire in One'."

"It is indeed amazing, I wonder if it can be said that Zhou Xun was delighted to see the prey.
"Since you are interested, here is a copy of Lu's Tea Classics, which I will give to you!" He threw out a jade slip.

"It would be disrespectful for a junior to refuse!"

Lu Changan smiled without saying anything, and waited for the water in the pot to boil three times before taking out three tea leaves. The ice leaf went into the blue water, the fire leaf went into the red water, and the last tea leaf, which was half ice and half fire, fell in the center of the Tai Chi.

"Please taste it."

The tea in front of Zhou Xun was light green, with fine spiritual patterns floating on the surface, sometimes condensing into ice crystals, and sometimes bursting with sparks. The Blood Demon Ancestor couldn't wait to pick up the teacup and drink it all.

I saw that half of his face was frosted and the other half was red. It took a while for him to return to normal. He laughed and said:
"It feels so good! This feeling of ice and fire quenching is no less than the 'Nine-turn Cloud Tea' I had in the fairyland back then!"

Zhou Xun looked at the tea carefully and saw miniature snow and flames alternating in the cup.

He took a sip and suddenly felt a chill rushing straight to his dantian, which in the blink of an eye turned into a raging fire. As ice and fire alternated, the spiritual energy in his body circulated three major cycles on its own.

"Great tea!" Zhou Xun exclaimed, "This sip saves me half a month of hard training."

Lu Changan stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction. The three of them drank the spiritual tea while discussing the law. After two full hours,

After finishing the pot of spiritual tea, they finally started talking about business.

Then Lu Chang'an flicked his sleeves, and a green light flew out from inside. It was the Tianyuan spiritual armor "Tianquan".

"We've had our tea, now it's time to get down to business. Little friend Zhou, here's what you want."

The green light dissipated, and a silver-white battle armor was suspended in the air. Star runes flowed on the armor, emitting astonishing spiritual power fluctuations.

Zhou Xun's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully examined the armor, confirming that it was undoubtedly the Tianyuan armor 'Tianquan'.

The Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly laughed strangely: "Old turtle, you are quite straightforward. But, there is nothing wrong with this spiritual armor, right?"

Lu Changan was not angry when he heard this, but laughed out loud:
"Xue Li, ah Xue Li, you are still so suspicious." He flicked his fingers and a green light hit the spiritual armor. "In this case, I will lift all restrictions."

I saw ripples on the surface of the spiritual armor, and several hidden runes were forced out, then disappeared into thin air.

"Now, it's time to take a look at Mr. Zhou's spiritual tea tree." Lu Chang'an looked at Zhou Xun with burning eyes.

Zhou Xun did not hesitate and slapped his hand on his waist.

The spiritual light flew out and turned into a five-foot-long wooden box, floating in the air.

The moment the lid of the box is opened, a four-foot-tall tea tree emerges. Its entire body is as green as jade, with mysterious natural patterns on its leaves, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

"What a great cloud tea tree!" Lu Chang'an's eyes lit up and he reached out to take it.

Zhou Xun scanned the spiritual armor with his consciousness, and after confirming that it was correct, he pushed the wooden box towards Lu Changan and said, "Senior, please."

The deal was done, and the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became much more relaxed.

Lu Changan held the tea tree lovingly in his hands and suddenly said, "My dear Zhou, I have a favor to ask."

"Senior, please feel free to speak."

"I wonder if you know how to cultivate this tea tree?" Before Lu Chang'an finished speaking, Zhou Xun had already taken out a jade slip.

"This is the experience I gained from cultivating this tea over the years, so I am giving it to you, senior."

He didn't have any experience in cultivating spiritual tea. It was just an ordinary second or third level spiritual planting technique. The most important thing was the essence of his spiritual medicine.

We are taking the path of vigorous and violent efforts, so there is no need to worry about others learning from us.

Lu Changan was overjoyed and took it solemnly: "My friend, you are very generous. I will remember it. If you need it in the future, please let me know."

The Blood Demon Ancestor suddenly smiled sinisterly and said, "Old turtle, don't be so anxious to get close to me. Zhou kid, it's time to tell him about that matter."

Zhou Xun nodded and looked at Lu Changan: "Senior, have you ever heard of the 'Soul Devouring Beast'?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changan dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground with a "pop" and said in shock: "You...you found the way to the fairyland?"

"No, you are curious about why I have been following Mr. Zhou. It's because the spirit beast in your contract is the 'Soul-Eating Beast'!" Xue Li said mysteriously.

The two had discussed this matter before.
Even if there really is a way to leave the human world, it must exist in the ghost world.

After all, the ghost world is the space inside the belly of the true fairyland 'Soul-Eating Beast', and the human world is just a corner of the fairyland that was cut off when the 'Soul-Eating Beast' fell.

"Soul-eating beast?!" Lu Chang'an's voice trembled, "Is it the ancient beast that can devour the world in the legend?"

Lu Changan's body swayed, and he almost lost his balance. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Xue Li, this matter is serious. Do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Xun was not in a hurry. He patted his waist and took out the ghost flag.
Then hit the ground!
A beam of green light flew out and transformed into a green ape about ten feet in size, with a hint of golden light on its fur.
As soon as the green ape appeared, it seemed extremely excited, and it rubbed the corner of Zhou Xun's clothes affectionately.

"This is..." Lu Changan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"A natural soul-eating beast." Zhou Xun stroked the beast's back gently. "Its body has pure soul-eating beast blood flowing in it."

Lu Chang'an stared at the little beast, with complex emotions such as greed, shock, and ecstasy flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered and said, "Now you understand why I followed little friend Zhou, right? This young beast is our hope to return to the fairyland!"

Lu Changan suddenly cupped his hands, bowed to the ground and said solemnly: "My dear Zhou, I am willing to pay any price in exchange for a chance to return to the fairyland!"

Zhou Xun quickly reached out his hand to support him: "Senior, you are too polite. I told Senior Blood Demon about this matter in order to cooperate with you. One day, we will go to the ghost world together to explore a way to leave!"

"That's right." The Blood Demon Patriarch said.
"To open the passage to the Immortal Realm, we must go deep into the Ghost Realm, where the Divine Transformation Ghost Clan exists, and its three Ghost Emperors have even reached the middle stage of Divine Transformation!"

"The journey will be extremely dangerous. Even a Divine Transformation cultivator will have difficulty staying safe."

"If we can get away, a little danger won't matter!" Lu Chang'an smiled generously.

After a long while, Zhou Xun broke the silence: "If you are willing to join us, we can swear a heavenly oath and work together for a great plan."

Lu Changan's eyes lit up: "Alright! I've been stuck here for tens of thousands of years, I've had enough!"

For ordinary cultivators, the human world is an extremely vast world, but for people like Blood Demon Ancestor and Lu Changan,
And a cage for sure!
The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed loudly: "That's more like it! Old turtle, with you joining us, our chances of winning are much better."

"However, you can't just take this opportunity for nothing. I know you have a lot of good things in your hands."

"If I can give one or two of these to you, it will help improve your ability to survive."

"You know, he has offended Fang Jiuzun now, and that Luoyang Tianjun is looking for him all over the world!"

Lu Changan nodded when he heard this. Zhou Xun was his hope for leaving, so he naturally couldn't be harmed.
They are a natural community of interests, at least that was the case before they left the human world!
After thinking for a moment, he flicked his sleeves and two rays of light flew out.

It turned into a jade talisman and a piece of green vine.

"This talisman is called the 'Evergreen Teleportation Talisman'. Once activated, it can instantly teleport you thousands of miles away. Unless you have a cultivation base above the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, it will be impossible to interrupt it!"

"As for this green vine, it was originally a spiritual treasure. It was one of the treasures I prepared when I entered this place. Now its rank has dropped and it has become a semi-spiritual treasure."

"It is a treasure that can bind and attack at the same time. I will give it to you as a gift. Is this a good gesture?"
