Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

"But is it Master Wangchuan?"

The old man saw Zhou Xun and immediately came forward, bowed his hands enthusiastically, and took the lead in greeting.

"It's Zhou, may I know who you are?"

Zhou Xun nodded, bowed his hands in return, and looked at the old man in front of him with a puzzled look.

The man was wearing a green robe, with protruding cheekbones, a wisp of goatee on his chin, and a smile on his eyebrows, revealing a hint of pleading.

He didn't recognize this person.

"Oh, I'm Feng Yan, I'm meeting Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Hearing the four words 'Master Feng Yan', Zhou Xun's eyes shrank slightly, and he immediately understood the purpose of this person's visit.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Feng, the visitor is a guest, please come in and talk if you have anything to say!"

After saying that, he took out a token, activated it and hit it forward, spiritual light flew out, the cave's protective formation was lifted, and then gently pushed it,

"Creaky--"

The door was pushed open, and Zhou Xun made a gesture of invitation.

Then the old man and Zhou Xun stepped into the cave together.

As soon as he passed the screen wall, he saw a pool of water, in which a three-meter-long red spirit turtle was resting.

"This is a fourth-level spirit beast, Brother Zhou is really lucky!"

The old man exclaimed when he saw the turtle.

After all, among the hundreds of Yuanying cultivators in the entire Zhenhai Immortal City, there are less than two hands who have fourth-level spirit beasts.

"Haha, Brother Feng, you are too kind, but I am lucky, just a fluke!" Zhou Xun laughed.

The two came to the reception room and sat down.

Zhou Xun brewed a cup of spirit tea and handed it to the old man,

"This is Lingwu tea from my hometown, Brother Feng, please!"

"Thank you!"

The old man took the spirit tea and drank it all. At this time, his mind was full of the spirit plant, so how could he have the mind to taste tea.

Seeing the old man like this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and did not take the initiative to mention it, but just talked about some romantic and leisurely things.

Finally, the old man couldn't help it and said:

"Daoyou Zhou, I came here to ask for something!"

"Oh, Daoyou, please speak up. If there is anything I can help, I will definitely help!" Zhou Xun said seriously, which made people admire him very much.

"I wonder if the 'Chiling Baozhi' was exchanged by Daoyou Zhou a few days ago?"

"That's right, what does Daoyou Feng mean by this?" Zhou Xun was 'surprised'.

"I was seriously injured when I explored the ancient ruins several decades ago. Although I have been treated and recuperated, my injuries have basically recovered,"

"but my cultivation has never improved, and even my life span has been greatly reduced!"

"And this 'Chiling Baozhi' is the best thing to treat my injuries!"

"When this thing appeared, I planned everywhere, and finally gathered the three great merits for exchange yesterday, but I never thought I was one step late!"

At this point, the old man showed a look of disappointment and regret on his face, paused, and continued :

"After asking around, I finally learned that this medicine was exchanged by Daoist Zhou."

"If it were normal times, Feng would never dare to disturb you, but this medicine is related to my path and life span, so I came here with a thick face."

"Please Daoist Zhou give me this 'Chi Ling Bao Zhi', Feng Yan will be grateful!"

"Oh, by the way, Daoist Zhou, I am willing to return all the three great merits you exchanged for this medicine, and I also owe you a favor!"

As he said, the old man bowed his hands and made a big gesture.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun reached out to support the old man, sighed and said:

"If Daoist Zhou had come here a few days earlier, I would have transferred this spiritual medicine to you!"

"But now, 'Chi Ling Bao Zhi' is already used by me, even if I want to transfer it, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

This medicine has been sacrificed and refined into a spiritual plant by Zhou Xun, so it is naturally impossible to give it up.

For this spiritual medicine, Zhou Xun has spent a lot of effort.

What's more, although this person's words are beautiful, in fact, he wants to exchange spiritual objects for a favor, which is not sincere enough!

The old man's face changed when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up and continued:

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, if you think the conditions are too low, I can increase it!"

"I know that you are collecting fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicines everywhere, and I just happen to have one here!" After saying that, he slapped the storage bag, and a two-foot-long jade box appeared in his hand.

He opened it without hesitation, revealing the spiritual plant inside,

Zhou Xun couldn't help but cast his eyes over it,

and saw a fourth-grade medium-quality "Golden Sunflower Bamboo" appeared in front of him.

It is indeed a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicine, but Zhou Xun has already extracted this spiritual medicine, so naturally he doesn't have much idea.

So he shook his head:

"Fellow Daoist, do you think I am asking for a higher price? The truth is that the 'Chi Ling Bao Zhi' has been used, otherwise I would have transferred it to you long ago!"

"This medicine is related to my lifespan on the path of Taoism, please have mercy on me, Fellow Daoist Feng!"

"As long as you are willing to exchange this spiritual medicine, no matter what you ask for, just let me know, I will go through fire and water for you!"

The old man couldn't help but beg.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun's face instantly turned cold.

"Is it possible that what I said was not clear enough? If I had not already used up the medicine, why would I keep it in my hands!"

After hearing what Zhou Xun said, the old man seemed to realize that he could not get the elixir from him. His face turned very ugly and he said coldly:

"Since you said this, I will not say anything more. I have important things to do in the mansion, so I will not stay any longer. Goodbye!"

"See you!"

Seeing that the old man spoke unkindly, Zhou Xun did not want to bother with his kindness. He bowed lightly and let the man leave.

"This person is respectful in front and arrogant in back. He must be a jealous person. If you meet him in the future, be careful!"

Looking at the old man's retreating back, Zhou Xun secretly came to a conclusion.

After the old man left, Zhou Xun came to the training room.

Today he got a lot of fourth-level talisman paper and spiritual ink from the God-given True Monarch. Zhou Xun planned to take this opportunity to try it out.

Refining the fourth level talisman!

Once he succeeds, he can become a fourth-level talisman master, and with the help of the talisman accumulation technique in his hand, he can obtain a large number of amazingly powerful fourth-level talismans in a short period of time.

This was of great help to him in the midst of a war between humans and monsters.

He took out a futon and sat cross-legged in front of a table.

Then with a wave of his hand, several rays of spiritual light flew out and landed on the table.

A dozen fourth-level talisman papers, a plate of fourth-level spiritual ink, and a talisman pen.

Then Zhou Xun lit a third-grade top-quality soothing incense, and a scent of sandalwood rose up and lingered on the tip of his nose.

Zhou Xun's somewhat restless letter instantly calmed down.

Close your eyes slightly and start to adjust your breath.

About half a quarter of an hour later, all the energy and energy in his body reached its peak, and then he slowly opened his eyes, revealing Gujing Wubo's eyes.

"That's it now!"

Then Zhou Xun took out a piece of talisman paper and spread it out.

Then he picked up the talisman pen, dipped it lightly in spiritual ink, and started drawing according to the lines of the fourth-level fire dragon talisman!

The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and everything is done in one go.

All textures are created in one stroke!

Just when Zhou Xun was about to break into the spirit-sealing spell,

Suddenly, this half-finished talisman suddenly started to fluctuate. It was very subtle at first, and then became bigger and bigger.

at last,

With a "chi" sound, a puff of smoke rose up, and then the talisman spontaneously ignited and turned into ashes in an instant!

"Refining failed!"

"It seems that before there was a fourth-level talisman pen, it would have been impossible for me to successfully draw this fourth-level talisman!"

Zhou Xun sighed softly.

He already has the fourth-level tiger's beard as the brush hair. As long as he finds the fourth-level middle-grade or above spiritual bamboo as the pen holder, he can refine the high-grade talisman pen.

"It would be great if there was an exchange meeting for Yuanying monks!"

Zhenhai Immortal City holds an exchange meeting every year due to the gathering of many Nascent Soul monks.

But this year's exchange meeting was held just before Zhou Xun came to Zhenhai Fairy City.

If Zhou Xun wanted to participate, he would have to wait for more than nine months.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xun decided to go to some major shops in the city to have a look. Maybe he would learn something. Even if he didn't, it would still be possible to make a reservation in advance!

So Zhou Xun went out.

We went straight to Wuliu Pavilion, the largest shop in the city.

It is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire Central Continent, with late-stage Nascent Soul monks at its head!

Branches are spread all over Central Continent. Whether it is the Righteous Alliance, the Tiandao Alliance or the Demonic Alliance, you can see traces of this chamber of commerce.

Previously, Zhou Xun purchased Danyuan wine here, so he chose this place as his first stop!

In just half an hour, Wuliu Pavilion arrived!

This pavilion occupies an extremely large area of ​​hundreds of feet, with more than a dozen doors in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Monks are constantly coming in and out, all of whom are in the foundation building stage or above.

Zhou Xun glanced at it for a few times, then stepped into it.

"I've met Senior Zhou!"

A young man wearing a green gown walked up, bowed to the ground and saluted.

"The shopkeeper has given instructions that if senior arrives, he should be notified immediately, and please follow me to the private room to rest!"

"So it's you, Wu He, right?" Zhou Xun said with a smile,

This person was the boy Zhou Xun met when he first came here.

The young man was overjoyed when he heard this,

"I didn't expect that senior could remember this villain. It's such an honor!"

"Haha, just lead the way!"

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the elegant room where he was last time. When he sat down, two maids came up with spiritual tea.

It takes about half a cup of tea,

A faint sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then a rich middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe walked in. It was Gao Yuan, the shopkeeper of this building.

"Friend Zhou Dao, you have been waiting for a long time!"

The middle-aged man smiled and cupped his hands, and came to sit next to Zhou Xun.

"Business manager Gao's business is good. I came here to do two things!" Zhou Xun returned the gift with a smile, and then explained the purpose of his visit!

"Fellow Taoist, please give me some instructions!"

"The first thing is that four taels of Xuan Lei Crystal. I wonder what's going on now?" Zhou Xun asked.

Zhou Xun had ordered this treasure when he was in Wuliu Pavilion last time.

"Xuan Lei Crystal, I am about to discuss this matter with fellow Taoist!"

"Speaking of it, fellow Taoists are blessed with good luck. When I wrote to the Central Continent Headquarters to collect this item, I never thought that the Chamber of Commerce would actually receive a second Xuan Lei Crystal."

"And the weight of this one is much greater!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but be overjoyed. He didn't expect such a surprise.

"This one weighs seven ounces. Because the matter is urgent, I asked the people in the pavilion to send it here. I wonder if you have any ideas about the other one?"

"For me, the more Xuan Lei Crystals, the better. I have enough Soul Stone Pipes, but I don't know when they will arrive?" Zhou Xun laughed.

"It can arrive in a month at most. I will send someone to inform my friends personally then!" the fat shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Well, thank you very much, Zhou!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands and continued:

"By the way, the second thing is to purchase a length of fourth-order medium-grade or above spiritual bamboo, the length of which should not be less than five inches. I wonder if there is any stock in the pavilion?"

"If it's a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual bamboo or above, the headquarters has it in stock!"

"However, I dare to ask Gao. I don't know why my friend bought this spiritual bamboo. If it's inconvenient, just don't tell me!" Gao Yuan asked tentatively.

"In order to refine the high-grade magic weapon talisman!" Zhou Xun did not hide it.

"If it's for refining talisman pens, the piece of spiritual bamboo in our pavilion may not be that suitable. The spiritual bamboo used for refining talisman pens should be based on the permeability of spiritual power."

"Therefore, all kinds of five-element spiritual bamboos are most suitable. The one in my pavilion is steel spiritual bamboo. Its spiritual power is not very permeable. Even if it is refined into a talisman pen, it will still be of extremely inferior quality!"

"If fellow Taoist is not in a hurry, I can list the property for you and purchase it on your behalf. At that time, I, Wuliu Pavilion, will charge a 10% commission!"

Gao Yuan said.

"Wuliu Pavilion actually has such a business?" Zhou Xun was eye-opening, and at the same time he couldn't help being impressed by Gao Yuan. This was the first time he had seen such a shopkeeper!

While completing the transaction, he can provide customers with other more complete solutions. No wonder this person can be the shopkeeper of Wuliu Pavilion.

"Of course there is. All you have to do is inform the acquisition conditions in advance. When the news comes, I will inform you!"

"In this case, I would like to ask you to purchase for me a fourth-level mid-grade or above five-element spiritual bamboo with a length of more than five inches. For this, I am willing to give you a bottle of Solid Yuan Dan in exchange!"

Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and then said.

"If Gu Yuan Dan is the best exchange, I think fellow Taoist will receive the news soon!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Then I will wait for the good news at my house!"

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask. Is there any elixir for sale in the pavilion that is suitable for early monks to take?"

Zhou Xunshun asked one more question,

"If what you want is the elixir from the elixir-forming monks, of course it is available. At the Nascent Soul stage—"

"No!"

"Once such pills appear in our pavilion, they are basically digested within the chamber of commerce. If they occasionally leak out, they are quickly bought!"

"Unless it's an auction, it's rare for this thing to appear even in our Chamber of Commerce!"

The fat shopkeeper said slowly.

"I see. Now that the matter is over, I'll take my leave. Goodbye!"

Then Zhou Xun left the Wuliu Chamber of Commerce,

He went to several shops, but there were no elixirs for sale, so he had no choice but to return to the cave.

In the next few days, Zhou Xun did not go out and stayed in the cave.

In the training room, Zhou Xun was sitting on the futon, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing was deep and regular.

With every breath Zhou Xun took, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gathered around him.

Penetrate into the meridians through the body surface,

According to the path of "Purple Sky Thunder Jue", the great celestial movement is carried out, and finally it is refined into mana and absorbed by the Nascent Soul in the Dantian.

“I don’t know when I will be able to break through just by practicing Qi!”

suddenly--

Zhou Xun looked at the insect chamber in the cave.

"This is. The butterfly butterfly is about to advance!"
