Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

Since that day when I invited Master Huai Jie to complete the ‘Tiger Blood and Flesh Soup’,

Zhou Xun also hosted a banquet for the ‘True Lord Yunshang’, ‘Wei Chang’an’ and ‘True Lord Xuanchen’ to enjoy the fourth-level mountain king’s spiritual banquet.

It was the first time for everyone to taste the fourth-level monster spirit banquet, and they were full of praise.

At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Zhou Xun's strength.

After all, not many can take out the corpse of a fourth-level tiger and use it extravagantly to make a spiritual banquet. This can confirm Zhou Xun's strength.

It can be seen that such a treasure,

It was nothing to Zhou Xun.

After everyone had had enough wine and food, they began to talk about mysteries.

Master Huaijie clasped his hands together. This is a Buddhist practice. His cultivation philosophy is different from that of ordinary Qi practitioners.

The concepts of Buddhism and Taoism came slowly and were extremely subtle. Everyone was immersed in it, as if they were in an ethereal realm.

True Monarch Yun Shang gently stroked his beard and said: "The concept of Buddhist cultivation is indeed unique. We Qi refiners can also draw nutrients from it to perfect our own way."

Wei Changan nodded in agreement: "Yes, the road to spiritual practice is long, and only when various ideas collide can we broaden our horizons and make continuous progress."

Zhenjun Xuanchen narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully: "Today's spiritual banquet is not only a feast for the tongue, but also a feast for spiritual practice."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and continued to discuss the mysteries of practice in depth. The atmosphere became more harmonious, and the discussion lasted for half a month.

Then everyone dispersed.

In the days that followed, every six months or so, Zhou Xun would invite Master Huai Jie to cook here.

That tiger corpse was enough to support his two years of cultivation.

Zhou Xun Cave Mansion,

A large cauldron more than ten feet high was suspended in the courtyard, and a bright yellow flame enveloped it.

After a long time, the cooking was finally finished.

Take out the spirit soup inside, divide it into 28 portions, and put them into two jars respectively.

"The flesh and blood of this fourth-level monster is indeed exquisite. During this period, my Vajra Treasure Body has also improved a lot. I have to thank Daoist Fellow Zhou for everything!"

Master Huaijie put his hands together and saluted Zhou Xun.

"Master, why do you say this? You and I are cooking together, and we each get what we need!" Zhou Xun waved his hand.

"It's a pity that this tiger only has one. It's a pity!" Master Huaijie enjoyed the cooking process very much.

During this time, his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds.

"Who said I only have the corpse of a fourth-level monster here!" Hearing this, Zhou Xun smiled faintly.

He had killed the Hundred-Winged Demon Emperor on Wuhuan Island before he was still a baby.

Then after the baby was born, the Black Island Demon King attacked, and his body was left behind.

Just as he was inspecting the South China Sea some time ago, he also killed two fourth-order iron-backed monster flies in Zhenjun Tianxing's cave.

In addition, during the previous support war on the southern front, the body of the former Thousand Crab Demon Emperor was obtained, as well as this time the dragon centipede,

There are still six demonic corpses.

I'm afraid that by the time his stationing on Pole Star Island ends, these monster corpses will not be used up.

He said and patted his waist with his hands.

A ray of spiritual light flew out and transformed into the true form of the Hundred-Winged Demon King.

Master Huai Jie couldn't help but be shocked. He thought he was mistaken and stuttered a little.

"Fellow Taoist, there are so many fourth-level ingredients this week. It's really amazing!"

At this time, he recalled the scene where the Black Island Demon King was scared away some time ago.

Only then did I gradually understand.

With such strength, no wonder the Demon King has fled.

"I still have a lot of ingredients here, but I have to trouble the master to come here in person every time!" The frequency of once every six months is still a bit frequent.

After all, it is common for Yuanying monks like them to stay in seclusion for several years or more at a time.

"It would be great if there was some way to preserve this cooked spiritual feast!" Zhou Xun couldn't help but sigh as he said it.

"This matter is not difficult. If after the cooking is completed, I can use my unique method to seal it, and then use ten thousand years of black ice, it will be great."

"It can be preserved for at least a hundred years!" Master Huaijie said.

"Master, do you think you have ten thousand years of black ice in your hand?" Zhou Xun asked.

This object is a sacred training object for monks with ice attribute skills. It is said that it is not produced in Central Continent.

But it comes from Bingpo Island in the extreme northern cultivation world.

Master Huaijie nodded slightly and said: "When the poor monk was traveling in the early years, he was fortunate enough to obtain a lot of ten thousand-year mysterious ice in a ruins. If fellow Taoist Zhou needs it, the poor monk should donate it to complete the beauty of this spiritual banquet."

Zhou Xun's face was filled with joy, he cupped his hands and said, "Master is so generous. Zhou is grateful. With this ten thousand-year-old mysterious ice, the spiritual banquet will be even smoother in the future."

"It's just that this thing is extremely precious. How could I get it for nothing?"

After thinking for a moment, he took out the corpse of a fourth-level iron-backed demon fly.

"What if I exchange it for something?"

Although the monster dragon belongs to the genus of spiritual insects, it is also not small in size, and the spiritual energy in its flesh and blood is actually purer.

Master Huaijie couldn't help but be overjoyed and exchanged without hesitation.

If the diamond treasure body he cultivated could be assisted by the flesh and blood of this monster, he would be able to advance to the next level.

Then, he turned on the stove again and cooked soup for Zhou Xun.

It took a full two months,

He finished cooking all the demon corpses in his hands except the Black Island Demon Emperor and the Thousand Crab Demon Emperor.

The flesh and blood essence obtained was enough to support Zhou Xun's cultivation needs for more than ten years.

After cooking, Master Huaijie clasped his hands together and said with emotion: "This cooperation is really a blessing for the poor monk. Fellow Taoist Zhou is so generous that the poor monk admires him endlessly."

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and said: "The master's superb skills have also helped Zhou a lot!"

In the following time, Zhou Xun sat on Pole Star Island,

After completing the daily practice, he took out the inheritance of True Lord Tianxing and began to study it.

Looking forward to being able to advance to the fourth level array mage soon.

Just like that, two years passed by in a flash.

This is already the fourth year since Zhou Xun came to Pole Star Island.

It's strange to say,

Since the battle on the southern defense line that year,

The demon tribe seemed to have ceased its activities. They were extremely restrained and rarely moved out.

Even his Pole Star Island has been stable for several years.

However, Zhou Xun knew that this was just the silence before the decisive battle between the two sides. Neither side was sure of defeating the other in one fell swoop.

Then they stopped tacitly.

But Zhou Xun knew that this time wouldn't last long.

On this day, inside the training room.

Zhou Xun took out a futon and sat cross-legged.

Then he took out a plate of spiritual food and elixir refined by the body of the Hundred-Winged Demon King, picked up a chopstick and swallowed it into his belly.

A wonderful taste comes to mind, which is definitely a feast for the taste buds.

He had never thought that he could have such enjoyment while practicing, which made the originally boring meditation become interesting.

When the spiritual food and medicine slipped into his belly, it instantly turned into streams of pure spiritual energy rising up, filling his meridians.

week

After several years of steady cultivation, Zhou Xun's progress in the early stage of Nascent Soul has been extremely smooth. If he is given another twenty years, he can successfully reach the peak.

At that time, you can look for opportunities to hit the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Just then——

Suddenly, a wave of spiritual energy came from the northwest of the cave, instantly awakening Zhou Xun.

"This is... to induce the transformation of a swallowtail butterfly!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed. He didn't expect that in just a few years, the butterfly butterfly would undergo its second transformation.

I had only transformed once before,

The phoenix butterfly can play an extremely crucial role in his battle with the Thousand Crab Demon King.

Now transformed again,

Zhou Xun has great expectations for his abilities.

So he immediately got up and walked out of the practice room.

"Sir, you're out!"

When Zhou Xun came out, he saw Jiang Wanning already guarding the insect room with a nervous expression on her face.

Every metamorphosis of the swallowtail butterfly is tantamount to a new life.

They all have the possibility of falling,

Only by going through hardships can one become the 'Phantom Spirit Butterfly' that even great monks shy away from.

However, under his cultivation, the foundation of Papilion Butterfly has been extremely solid, so there should be no problem with this second transformation.

Soon he turned his attention to the insect room,

I saw a white cocoon about the size of a foot bathing in the spiritual energy.

Zhou Xuneng could faintly feel a mysterious force gathering, and with a sweep of his consciousness, it was as if he was in a dream.

My mind moved,

and escaped from this illusion,

On the other hand, Jiang Wanning was looking at the spiritual energy ball blankly, with tears still in her eyes.

It was obvious that he had been tricked.

"wake up!"

Zhou Xun immediately shocked her with his spiritual consciousness and woke her up.

"Sir, I am... affected by the illusion of attracting swallowtail butterflies!" Jiang Wanning was extremely shocked.

You know, she is a late-stage pill-forming monk.

The Phoenix Butterfly has only transformed once, and at most it is similar to a monk in the early stage of pill formation.

But it can deeply affect her,

This ability is really a bit abnormal.

"Yes, the spirit butterfly's hallucinogenic ability seems to have mutated. Generally speaking, it can only achieve this level after transforming four times or more!"

Zhou Xun thought about it but couldn't think of any reason.

It can only be attributed to luck,

After all, the world of immortality is vast and rich in resources, and anything can happen.

As time goes by, the light gradually becomes stronger and shines through the gaps in the insect chamber, as brilliant as a dream.

That light seems to contain endless illusions, which makes people dare not look directly.

I don’t know how much time passed,

After a long time, suddenly,

The spiritual energy in the insect room rioted, pouring towards the cocoon, forming vortexes of spiritual energy.

At this time, it has come to a critical moment for the Phoenix Butterfly to advance. As long as you can survive this spiritual energy filling stage, your promotion will be successful!

After about half a quarter of an hour, the spiritual power group became larger and larger, and even faintly turned into mist.

This is the phenomenon of spiritual energy gathering to the extreme!

At this time, the cocoons of the Papilion Butterfly in the aura group suddenly emitted a pale golden light, and tiny vortices appeared on the surface, absorbing the huge aura.

At the same time, the aura throughout its body continued to surge.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the breath of the butterfly butterfly changed, and a wave of spiritual power spread out.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun felt happy.

"Success!"

"Congratulations, sir, for successfully attracting the butterfly to advance!" Jiang Wanning smiled in surprise, making the entire cave come alive.

"Haha!" Zhou Xun laughed,

The second transformation was successful, and he was one step closer to advancing to the 'Phantom Spirit Butterfly'.

The violent spiritual energy returned to calm, and the spiritual energy mass gradually dissipated, leaving only a white cocoon that was pure and restrained!

Just then,

The surface of the cocoon squirmed, and a foot was exposed. Then a small hole appeared in the cocoon, getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, the whole swallowtail butterfly came out.

A seven-inch swallowtail butterfly slowly flew out,

At this time, its posture became more elegant, the original blue became deeper, the patterns on its wings became more complex and mysterious, and it faintly exuded a powerful spiritual power fluctuation.

Zhou Xun carefully sensed its aura,

"Sure enough, it has increased a lot compared to before!" He couldn't help but feel happy!

At this time, the swallowtail butterfly also sent a burst of joy, and then flapped its wings, happily flew to Zhou Xun's shoulder, and rubbed it intimately.

It's a pity that insect monsters are difficult to stimulate their intelligence. Even if they reach the third level, their wisdom is still low.

Gently stroked the swallowtail butterfly,

Then he patted the storage bag and took out an inch-sized jade bottle, which contained the third-level spiritual liquid.

Pulling out the cork, he gently poured out three drops of spiritual liquid the size of soybeans into his palm.

The swallowtail butterfly immediately felt delighted, fluttered into Zhou Xun's hand, and greedily sucked the drop of spiritual liquid.

It took only a moment to absorb it all.

But then, he felt a sense of consciousness,

"More?"

Zhou Xun said in astonishment. You should know that each bottle of this third-level spiritual liquid only has a hundred drops, and the price of each bottle is as high as 100,000 spiritual stones.

And it needs to be fed once every half a month.

Then Zhou Xun continued to pour it out.

It was fed with ten drops of spiritual liquid, and then it felt satisfied.

"This consumption!"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This spiritual butterfly is good, but the consumption is a bit high. It consumes two bottles of third-level spiritual liquid every year, which is more than 200,000 spiritual stones.

Such a cost is probably unbearable for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Two hundred thousand per year, 20 million in a hundred years.

You must know that Zhou Xun's salary in Zhenhai Fairy City is only five top-grade spirit stones every hundred years, which is only worth tens of millions of spirit stones!

This is the case at the third level, and I don't know what the scene will be like after the fourth level. Zhou Xun can't help but feel a headache.

"Think about the future in the future."

He sighed and shook his head, and gently sent his hand.

The spirit butterfly flapped its wings and flew back to the nest in the insect room and continued to sleep!

However, after this transformation, attracting swallowtail butterflies will also become a very powerful means in his hands.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun became happy again.

Looking at Jiang Wanning on the side,

she had a slender figure, bright eyes, and a white veil that made her look particularly attractive.

As if she felt Zhou Xun's aggressive gaze,

Jiang Wanning blushed slightly and whispered:

"Young Master!"

Zhou Xun naturally understood the elegant meaning of the music. He had been busy practicing in the past few years and neglected the beauty.

Today, Fengdie advanced, which was a great joy. It was a good time to celebrate.

He didn't hesitate to pick her up and walked towards the bedroom.

After three days, Zhou Xun finally stopped.

He looked refreshed.

He came to the pavilion in the courtyard to sit quietly, holding the jade slip that recorded the inheritance of Tianxing Zhenjun in his hand to check.

Occasionally, he patted the storage bag,

and took out some materials for practice. His understanding of the fourth-level formation skills became deeper and deeper.

In this way, another two years passed, and he finally had a preliminary understanding of this inheritance.

Next, he tried to be promoted to a fourth-level formation master!
