Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 156: Chapter 86: Profound Armor Armadillo’s Advancement!

This is a high-tier spirit beast bag, very valuable.

Zhou Xun took out the spirit beast inside.

”Isn’t this the high-grade bloodline demon beast Red Fire Simurgh cub!”

Looking at the divine handsome demon bird, about the size of a washbasin and entirely crimson, Zhou Xun was shocked inside.

He was just sighing that three of the Four Treasures of Golden Cloud had already been secured by him, but now it seems not three, but all four treasures have fallen into his hands.

The Red Fire Simurgh is said to contain a trace of Cyan Simurgh lineage, placing it among the most top-tier of the high-grade demon beast bloodlines.

Once it matures, it possesses Tier Two High-Grade strength.

It is a top-notch spirit beast.

Additionally, this beast has the ability to fly, making it even more valuable.

”Just right, I need a spirit bird for transportation!”

Riding a flying spirit beast is far more comfortable than manipulating a flying spiritual artifact.

Apart from these treasures, Zhou Xun also obtained a talisman treasure, which is most likely a reward from Master White Cloud.

It’s really inconvenient to take it out normally, otherwise it would be hard to explain its origin.

Unexpectedly, from the trip to Golden Cloud Valley, he became the biggest winner!

Immediately, Zhou Xun imprinted his divine sense mark on the Red Fire Simurgh’s body, claiming it as his own spirit beast.

He instructed Song Yiqing to take care of it, feeding it a Spirit Feeding Pill at regular intervals to promote its growth.

The Red Fire Simurgh is currently only at Tier One Low-Grade and needs to be raised to at least Tier One High-Grade to serve as a transportation spirit beast.

...

After taking stock, Zhou Xun went to Danhai Pavilion.

The trip to Golden Cloud Valley took more than a month, and most of the elixirs he originally refined were sold.

He happened to acquire a lot of spirit medicine this time, so he decided to refine them directly into elixirs for sale.

As for those Tier One Middle-High Grade spirit medicines, he entrusted his disciple Zhou Jingsong to handle the refining.

Alchemy Room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on a cushion, with a pill furnace placed in front of him, spiritual fire burning underneath it, flickering under Zhou Xun’s control.

Suddenly, a spell was cast onto the pill furnace.

An astonishing aroma of medicine permeated the entire alchemy room.

Moments later, the lid of the pill furnace opened automatically, and five white, glistening elixirs flew out.

”Success Pill, five pills!”

”My alchemy technique has improved a lot!”

Zhou Xun can now perfectly refine Tier Two Middle-Grade Yuan Gathering Pills, without wasting any medicinal power, reaching the limit in pill quantity.

For other alchemists, it would take more than ten years of focus on a single elixir to achieve this.

He put the elixirs into medicine bottles.

There were already more than a dozen bottles of elixirs placed in front of him, all refined during this period.

Among them was a Golden Spirit Pill to help the Profound Armor Armadillo advance.

Zhou Xun specially infused one with abundant spirit medicine essence, elevating the quality beyond the premium level.

The Profound Armor Armadillo, after taking this pill and with its own mutated bloodline, will surely advance to Tier Two with certainty.

Just as Zhou Xun finished cleaning the pill furnace and was about to continue refining, the restriction of the alchemy room flickered.

Someone was looking for him.

Zhou Xun lightly waved his hand, removed the restriction, and the door of the alchemy room opened automatically inward.

Revealing two figures standing at the door.

One was his chief disciple Zhou Jingsong, and the other.

Was Wang Erniu, whom he hadn’t heard from for many days.

”Erniu, you’re back!”

Zhou Xun smiled and finally relaxed.

”Elder brother!”

Wang Erniu, seeing Zhou Xun’s face, was also excited.

The White Cloud Base was attacked that day, leading to the fall of many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, whereas the Qi Refining Cultivators like them returned completely intact.

Zhou Xun, being a well-known cultivator at the base, was easily targeted, causing Wang Erniu a lot of concern for his elder brother.

As soon as he returned to White Cloud Immortal City, he went to Golden Spring Lane to inquire about Zhou Xun.

Guided by Song Yiqing, he found out Zhou Xun was at Danhai Pavilion, and rushed over.

”Come in for a chat!”

Zhou Xun gestured towards the alchemy room.

”Disciple bids farewell!” Knowing his master and Junior Martial Uncle Wang had much to discuss, Zhou Jingsong sensibly excused himself.

Inside the alchemy room, Zhou Xun took out a cushion and handed it to Wang Erniu to sit.

”Erniu, seeing you return safely, I’m relieved!”

Zhou Xun sighed in relief.

”Sorry for worrying you, elder brother!” Wang Erniu said with much feeling.

Then the two exchanged stories about their escape experiences.

Awakened by the huge commotion that night, Wang Erniu discreetly escaped amidst the chaotic camp.

During his escape, he intentionally chose a direction not towards White Cloud Immortal City, and like Zhou Xun, hid in a deserted place, finally returning to White Cloud Immortal City after four or five days.

Talking about the attack that night, both were scared.

”It’s good we both returned safely!” Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

”As they say, to survive such a calamity means good fortune ahead!”

”Indeed, heard White Cloud Immortal City suffered significant losses this time. Over a dozen Foundation Establishment Elders and Honored Guest Elders fell, even that Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Elder, Sunx Yuanqing, fell!”

Wang Erniu said with a face full of emotion.

Sunx Yuanqing’s rebellion was not an honorable event for White Cloud Immortal City, so upon seeing his Life Soul Lamp extinguished, they announced his death.

Zhou Xun naturally knew the truth; he was the one who killed him!

But he didn’t tell Wang Erniu, as knowing too much can lead to death.

”Anyway, after your Golden Cloud Valley trip, you’ve gathered three Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. You should focus on Foundation Establishment next!”

Zhou Xun turned the topic to Wang Erniu’s Foundation Establishment matters.

”That’s correct!” Wang Erniu nodded.

”Thanks to elder brother for giving me those Foundation Establishment Heart Dao techniques, I now understand Foundation Establishment thoroughly!” Wang Erniu’s tone exuded strong confidence.

Like a sword pointed to the sky, commanding respect.

”Good! Good!” Zhou Xun clapped his hands in praise.

”In that case, rent a temporary cave mansion in White Cloud Immortal City to establish your foundation; the high spiritual energy concentration here will be beneficial!”

”I was thinking the same!”

Subsequently, Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu left Danhai Pavilion together, heading straight to the place for renting cave mansions in White Cloud Immortal City.

The rental steward was still the same middle-aged man.

With Zhou Xun’s relation, Wang Erniu rented a Jia San Tier Two High-Grade cave mansion, paying only seventy percent of the price.

Even caves of the same level have differences in spiritual energy concentration.

The earlier the ranking, the better the spiritual environment.

If Jia Yi and Jia’er weren’t occupied, Wang Erniu’s cave ranking would have been higher.

”Erniu, make a good breakthrough!” Zhou Xun advised a few words, then left.

...

Golden Spring Cave Mansion,

In front of the beast cage.

Having taken the Golden Spirit Pill, the Profound Armor Armadillo balled itself up, exuding a faint golden light, motionless.

”Husband, is the armadillo really going to advance? There’s no danger, right?” Song Yiqing asked with concern after years of tending to the Profound Armor Armadillo, naturally developing feelings.

”Don’t worry, the armadillo’s mutated bloodline gives it a fifty percent chance of advancing. Plus, I’ve refined the Golden Spirit Pill for it, at least an eighty percent chance of successfully breaking through!”

Zhou Xun assured.

Eighty percent is just the ordinary effect of the Golden Spirit Pill, with Zhou Xun’s pill surpassing the premium level.

Truly, Zhou Xun can’t think of any reason for failure.

Next, it’s about waiting.
