Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

The location of Jinyun Valley is hundreds of thousands of miles southeast of Baiyun Immortal City. With Zhou Xun's escape speed, it would take about ten days.

There are still more than twenty days before the opening of Jinyun Valley, and many monks have already set off.

Jinquan Lane Cave Mansion,

Zhou Xun had breakfast and planned to practice, but unexpectedly someone came to visit him.

The person who came was none other than Feng Tingli, who had sold Zhou Xun the spot in the Baiyun Spirit Pond, and with him was a young man with a stern face.

Zhou Xun met this person once but was not familiar with him.

The young man's name is Yan Lei. He is a foundation-building monk who made a breakthrough seven years ago. He has high-grade spiritual roots and is highly valued by Baiyun Immortal City.

A year ago, he was accepted as a registered disciple by Master Baiyun's second disciple, a fake elixir realm monk, Master Yufeng Liu Bo'an.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, Fellow Daoist Yan, what kind of wind has brought you here!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Fortunately for Feng Tingli, they both lived in Jinquan Lane and had a lot of interactions on weekdays, so it was normal for them to come here.

As for this Yan Lei, since he was accepted as a registered disciple by Master Yufeng, he has been quite arrogant and has no friendship with him. Why is he here today?

Although he was confused in his heart, there was no movement on his face.

"Of course I'm greedy for brother Zhou's peach blossoms, haha!" Feng Tingli said with a hearty smile and returned the gift.

When Zhou Xun went to Hongyefang, he received two jars of peach blossom wine as a gift from the Lin family.

The last time Feng Tingli came to visit, Zhou Xun treated him with wine, but he was obsessed with this old drunkard.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, you have such a nose. Tsk tsk, I only have the last jar left. Okay, let's have a good drink today!"

Zhou Xun pretended to be helpless, then smiled heartily, patted his hand on the storage bag, and the light flashed. A one-foot-sized wine jar appeared on the table.

"Drinking good wine requires good wine sets!" Seeing this, Feng Tingli's eyes lit up and he moved his hand to his waist.

Three mutton-fat white jade wine glasses appeared on the table, still giving off a faint chill.

"Could this wine glass be made of Hanxin Jade!" Zhou Xun was surprised.

Hanxin Jade is a top-grade weapon-refining material and is often used to make jade boxes for storing elixirs. It is said that a jade box made of Hanxin Jade can ensure that the elixirs retain their potency for hundreds of years and are extremely valuable.

The three wine glasses in Feng Tingli's hands cost at least 1,500 spirit stones in terms of materials alone.

"It's made from Han Xin Jade. This set of drinking utensils cost me a full three thousand spirit stones!" Feng Tingli was quite pleased with himself.

Feng Tingli had no other hobbies in his life except wine!

"Brother Feng, if he forms an elixir in the future, he can be called the 'Drunkard Man'!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"What Brother Zhou said is exactly what I want!"

Then the three of them drank peach blossom wine and chatted happily.

While chatting, Yan Lei intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Jinyun Valley.

Zhou Xun naturally discovered it, but he wanted to see what Yan Lei's intentions were, so he didn't expose it.

He even cooperated with what he said.

"What do fellow Taoist Zhou think of Jinyun Valley this time?"

"Golden Cloud Valley?"

"Speaking of which, this Golden Cloud Valley has brought a lot of benefits to Zhou!" Zhou Xun laughed.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Yan Lei pretended to be interested.

"The Golden Cloud Valley is open, and a large number of monks are gathering towards our Baiyun Immortal City. In addition, treasure hunting cannot avoid a battle of skills,"

"As a result, there is a lot more demand for magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs!"

"As demand increases, prices will naturally rise. Some prices will increase by 20%, and the highest prices will increase by more than double!"

"Zhou is not very talented, but he happens to run an elixir shop, but he has gained a lot!" Zhou Xun said with a slight smile.

When the batch of pills is sold, Zhou Xun estimates that the profit will exceed 20,000 spirit stones.

The main reason is the demand. It has been three years since it opened, and with the sharp increase in prices, the profit margin has been greatly improved.

"Yes, yes, Danhai Pavilion is the property of fellow Daoist Zhou. I really envy you!" Yan Lei nodded, and Feng Tingli also agreed.

"However, I still have a way to make a fortune. Is Zhou Daoyou interested?" Yan Lei smiled mysteriously.

"Want to hear the details!" Zhou Xun said calmly.

"The place to make a fortune is in Jinyun Valley!" Yan Lei got straight to the point.

"Fellow Taoist, are you talking about exploring Jinyun Valley?" Zhou Xun frowned slightly.

"Not bad!" Yan Lei nodded.

"Golden Cloud Valley is great, but there are so many people exploring it. Just looking at the number of monks from outside Baiyun Immortal City this time, you know how fierce the competition is!"

"At that time, the matter of killing people and seizing treasures will never be the same. You and I are just newbies in foundation building, and our methods are humble, which is inappropriate!"

After hearing this, Zhou Xun refused without hesitation.

‘It’s a joke, now I just need to practice quietly and use my natal spiritual plants to improve my qualifications. Why take this risk?’

Zhou Xun sneered in his heart.

"It's better to tell Fellow Daoist Zhou about that!" Feng Tingli, who was on the side, was not surprised by Zhou Xun's reaction, so he suggested to Yan Lei.

Apparently there is still a secret between the two of them that has not been revealed.

When Yan Lei heard this, his expression struggled for a while, and then he nodded:

"All right!"

Then he looked at Zhou Xun and said:

"Alchemist Zhou doesn't know something. I accidentally obtained a strange map more than 20 years ago. After many verifications, I finally determined that it was a partial map of Jinyun Valley!"

"It records a treasure land where there are more than a dozen high-level elixirs growing, and one of them has reached the quasi-third level!"

"It's just that the treasure land is wrapped in a prohibition, and it requires three foundation-building monks to attack at the same time to break it!"

"I am inviting Alchemist Zhou to go with me on this trip. When we enter Jinyun Valley, we go straight to the treasure land, get the elixir and leave. It is extremely safe!"

"Furthermore, for this trip to Jinyun Valley, our White Cloud Immortal City officials will also organize monks to support us outside. In this way, Master Zhou can rest assured!"

Yan Lei said sincerely.

When Zhou Xun heard this, he didn't think so.

"If it were a third-level elixir, maybe I would still be tempted. It's definitely a third-level medicine!" He shook his head secretly.

Zhou Xun could strengthen one of the quasi-third-level elixirs in less than a year, so it was really not worth the risk for him to take action.

Among the monks from outside Baiyun Immortal City this time, he could see many late-stage foundation-building monks.

Moreover, in one year's time there will be the Baiyun Immortal City's ten-year auction, and there will be many elixirs produced in Jinyun Valley being auctioned.

He now has tens of thousands of spiritual stones at his disposal and is worried about losing all his flowers.

"Why risk your life when money can solve the problem?"

"Zhou understands Mr. Yan's kindness. I'm afraid I can't help much with my humble means!" Zhou Xun shook his head and declined politely.

When Yan Lei saw this, he snorted softly. He wanted to say something, but due to Zhou Xun's status as a second-level mid-level alchemist, he didn't say anything and could only say expressionlessly:

"Well, since Master Zhou has no intention, just don't mention it to Yan!"

Feng Tingli on the side saw the situation a little awkward, so he tried to smooth things over:

"Brother Yan, Brother Zhou is an alchemist and not good at fighting. Instead of talking about these things today, we will still drink and drink. This peach blossom wine is extremely rare!"

As they spoke, they started drinking again and talked about other interesting things in the world of immortality.

Just when Zhou Xun thought the matter was settled, something unexpected happened.

On the third day after Feng Tingli's visit, Zhou Buqi summoned all the guests in Baiyun Immortal City and issued the guests' mission.

The guest mission means that they, the guest guests of Baiyun Immortal City, need to complete a mission every five years.

Of course, these tasks are optional, and you only need to complete one every five years.

The mission released this time was to go to the entrance of Jinyun Valley and establish a temporary camp under the leadership of Liu Boan, the real person of Yufeng.

Responsible for supporting the team from Baiyun Fairy City exploring the Golden Cloud Valley.

Zhou Xun thought for a moment and decided to participate.

If you set off with the Baiyun Fairy City team, you will be safe. You can also put up a flag at the exit and take the opportunity to buy some elixirs!

The main ingredient of the Golden Spirit Pill, Golden Spirit Grass, has been found!
