Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

After leaving Sun Ergou's house, Zhou Xun went to the town to kill the mayor.

After leaving, Zhou Xun came to the nearest gathering place for immortal cultivators - Fengming Mountain. There was a first-order low-grade spiritual vein here.

Originally, the immortal cultivators here did not welcome Zhou Xun's arrival. After Zhou Xun showed his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training, no one said anything.

You must know that the highest cultivation level here is just a monk at the fourth level of Qi training.

He found an uninhabited cliff, opened a simple cave, and set up his own seven-star array.

After that, Zhou Xun lived in seclusion. In addition to healing his injuries, he also studied the art of formations and the art of spiritual insects.

As for the other methods such as the talisman method, because I was injured and it was not convenient to practice, I had to put it aside.

Just like that, three months passed by in a flash.

The magic power he can use during this period is equivalent to that of a fifth-level Qi-training monk. On this day, Zhou Xun is studying the formation method in the cave.

Suddenly there was a call at the door from outside.

Zhou Xun went out to take a look and found out that it was another middle-stage Qi-training monk here, an old man in his fifties with gray hair.

There is also a pretty girl of twelve or thirteen years old beside him. Judging from the spiritual power in her body, she is only at the first level of Qi training.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hu. What's the matter?" Zhou Xun said calmly.

Zhou Xun naturally had no intention of making friends with these low-level monks. He only wanted to wait for half a year, and then absorb the essence of the elixir to restore his basic cultivation and leave.

"Our triennial exchange meeting in Fengming Mountain will start tomorrow, and I came here to inform fellow Taoists!" The old man didn't care about Zhou Xun's indifference.

After all, he is just a middle-term monk who is declining, and the person in front of him is extremely young and has the potential to go further, so he is not something he can offend.

"Exchange meeting?" Zhou Xun was confused.

"By the way, our Fengming Mountain holds an exchange meeting every three years. At that time, fellow Taoists from thousands of miles around will come here to exchange their knowledge!" the old man explained with a smile.

"I know, I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Zhou Xun nodded.

It would be unreasonable for him not to be interested in the exchange meeting that is held every three years, given that he is now a fourth-level qi-training monk.

"Then wait patiently for fellow Taoist disciples to arrive!" The old man then left.

The next day, Zhou Xun arrived at the location of the exchange meeting, at the top of a certain mountain in Fengming Mountain.

There is a platform here that covers an area of ​​dozens of feet.

By the time Zhou Xun arrived, more than forty people had gathered on the platform.

Presumably they are all casual cultivators within thousands of miles nearby.

Among these people, in addition to the old man surnamed Hu, there were two middle-stage Qi training monks.

One is a beautiful woman with a gorgeous appearance, who is at the fourth level of Qi training.

One of them was a man with a sinister face who was at the fifth level of Qi training. He was the person with the highest level of cultivation here. He was laughing loudly with the beautiful woman.

"This is Fellow Daoist Shan Xionghai, a mid-term monk who just arrived at Fengming Mountain some time ago!" the old man surnamed Hu introduced enthusiastically.

"Fellow Daoist Shan is so young and has reached the middle stage of Qi training. He is really enviable!" As soon as Zhou Xun walked in, the eyes of the gorgeous woman lit up and her beautiful eyes flashed as she spoke.

Seeing this, the man snorted with some dissatisfaction.

"Thank you!" Zhou Xun replied lightly, then found a place to sit down, and then asked the old man surnamed Hu:

"Fellow Daoist Hu, I wonder when the exchange meeting will start!"

"There are still some fellow Taoists who haven't arrived yet, it will be over in another hour!"

Zhou Xun nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, an hour passed, and there were more than ten people on the platform.

"Cough——" The old man surnamed Hu stood up and coughed a few times, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"I think everyone has arrived, so let's get started!"

"In this exchange meeting, each Taoist friend can display the treasures he wants to exchange!"

"Hu Mou throws the jade first!" The old man said, patting the storage bag and taking out twelve low-grade talismans.

"Low-grade attack talismans of each type, thirty spiritual essences per piece. If you buy more, there will be discounts!"

This price is much more expensive than the one at Hongyefang on Anniversary. In a regular store, one spiritual stone can buy four pieces, which equals twenty-five spiritual essences. If it is on the black market, one spiritual stone can buy five pieces.

However, there is no way for casual cultivators here, so it is normal for them to be more expensive.

Soon, one by one, the old man's talismans were all snatched up.

Soon, low-level spiritual grass, ores, and even monster materials came out.

But Zhou Xun was not interested in these things, he was just here to make up the numbers.

"This is the half bottle of Shan's remaining qi-training elixir from the early stage of qi-training, and there are still seven more!"

When it was his turn, he took out a bottle of elixir taken by monks in the early stages of Qi training, which caused the monks to scramble for it.

In the end, it was captured by the old man surnamed Hu.

"My granddaughter has just started practicing, and this thing is being used by her. Fellow Taoists, please forgive me!" After the old man surnamed Hu bought it, he also apologized to everyone. He is indeed a well-rounded person.

"Thank you, seniors, for your concessions. Please give me more elixirs for senior Shan!" Her granddaughter also stood up and thanked her, with a clear and beautiful voice.

After all, the exchange meeting was halfway through, and this was the first bottle of elixir that appeared. For casual cultivators like them, if they got the elixir and took it early, how could they exchange it.

After that, the exchange continues.

"I have a fire stone here in exchange for a spiritual stone!" At this time, a young monk dressed in a short shirt took out a red stone that was the size of an adult's head.

Fire stone is a first-grade low-grade ore that can assist cultivators in the practice of fire attributes.

This thing is in one place, and many people in the field are attracted by it.

Zhou Xun glanced at it casually, and suddenly his eyes froze. There was something wrong with the huge fire stone, and the power of fire on its surface was too strong.

And there is still some cold elemental power mixed in, but it is extremely weak, and only his spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage can detect it.

So he spoke lazily:

"I want it!"

At the same time, he took out a spirit stone and threw it at the young man.

Seeing Zhou Xun take action, the hosts in the field kept silent.

After that, no treasure that Zhou Xun was interested in appeared again.

Back in the cave, Zhou Xun couldn't wait to take out the fire stone.

After looking at it carefully several times, he took out the Golden Clam Blade and started cutting it towards the Fiery Stone.

Knife after knife, the Fire Stone Tablet was peeled off layer by layer.

When the fire stone was only the size of an adult's fist, a crystal clear red and white crystal was revealed.

What is strange is that this crystal has the power of both fire element and cold element.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly:

"My guess is good, it is indeed the Fiery Cold Crystal!"

Fierce Cold Crystal is a rare second-level high-grade weapon refining material, which is valuable, more than one tael of three thousand spirit stones.

The one in Zhou Xun's hand weighs seventy-six cents and is worth more than twenty thousand spiritual stones!

More importantly, this Fierce Cold Crystal is an indispensable treasure for practicing the fourth level of the Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique.

"When my foundation is restored, I can look for opportunities to break through to the fourth level of body refining!"

Zhou Xun then happily put it into his storage bag.

Time flies, three months fly by, and it has been more than half a year since Zhou Xun came to Fengming Mountain.

He could finally absorb the essence of the elixir.

Zhou Xun then took out a second-level low-grade elixir, extracted the essence and blended it into his body, successfully restoring his damaged foundation and longevity.

Perhaps because the essence was consumed, his spiritual roots did not grow this time.

However, Zhou Xun is not worried, it is just a one-year delay in reaching the limit of the middle-grade spiritual root.

The foundation was restored, and the cultivation level immediately returned to the ninth level of Qi training.

What surprised him even more was that after this incident, the strength of his Dantian meridians increased significantly.

Zhou Xun guessed that this might coincide with the principle of breaking and then establishing.

With his foundation restored, Zhou Xun left without hesitation.

On this day, Zhou Xun flew into the sky, turned into a blue aura, and galloped away in the direction of Baiyun Immortal City.

This scene happened to fall in the eyes of several casual cultivators in Fengming Mountain.

Later, the legend spread that there were foundation-building monks practicing in Fengming Mountain.
