Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 168: Chapter 98: Tier Two Middle-Grade Rune Master

Wood Spirit Root of fifty points, among the High-Grade Spirit Root cultivators, this is considered a moderate level!

The gap with Wang Erniu’s fifty-five points is quite small.

After more than twenty years of traversing,

now, his Spiritual Root finally stands on the same level as Wang Erniu and Lin Xueying.

Zhou Xun was satisfied and put away the Spirit Testing Disc.

He began to feel the changes in his own mana and divine sense.

He took out the top-grade spiritual artifact Fire Cloud Sword and a stack of spirit iron used to test the power of artifacts.

He placed the spirit iron on the ground and infused mana into the Fire Cloud Sword with his hand.

A humming sound echoed as the Fire Cloud Sword floated in front of Zhou Xun, surrounded by a red glow with extraordinary power.

Then, his hand pointed to the spirit iron on the ground, and the Fire Cloud Sword transformed into a red light.

With a whirring sound, it struck the spirit iron, emitting a crisp sound.

The hundred layers of spirit iron were directly cut in half, laying on the ground.

Compared to before, the power has increased by at least fifty percent!

The greater the strength of mana and divine sense, the stronger the power displayed when wielding artifacts.

Zhou Xun estimates that simply using the top-grade spiritual artifact, he could match a typical Late-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in battle.

Adding his body refining techniques, he could even emerge victorious.

Encountering Zheng Tianxiu nowadays, without using the Illusion Talisman and Body Refining Technique, he could still defeat him.

After testing his mana, Zhou Xun released his divine sense, extending it outwards.

It reached a distance of about eight hundred feet before becoming blurry.

This is more than double the previous range of three hundred fifty feet!

His overall strength should be no less than that of an average Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator!

In the following days, Zhou Xun continued his cultivation, solidifying his level at the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

...

After the breakthrough, Zhou Xun did not stop to rest.

He took out the tier two middle-grade talisman paper he had prepared in advance to attempt the creation of tier two middle-grade talismans.

With his considerable divine sense improvement, based on past experiences, he should be able to enhance his cultivation skills.

Generally speaking, the stronger the cultivation and divine sense, the easier it becomes to learn skills.

Or one could say, without sufficient cultivation and divine sense, skills cannot reach a certain level.

For example, in the Cultivation Realm, tier three alchemists are at least at Fake Pill cultivation.

This batch of tier two middle-grade talisman paper was acquired from Sun Yuanqing’s spoils, extremely high quality.

This time, he plans to draw a tier two middle-grade Thunder Strike Talisman.

The drawing technique for a tier two middle-grade talisman and the spiritual energy circuit on the talisman are much more complex than before.

In order to improve the success rate, Zhou Xun took a tier two low-grade Calming Pill, of super-grade quality.

To minimize the impact of the elixir on the body.

Basically, every pill he takes is enhanced to a super-grade level.

As the elixir took effect, a refreshing sensation arose, making Zhou Xun’s entire mind clear and focused.

He immediately picked up the talisman pen and dipped it in spirit ink.

Executing it swiftly and smoothly!

A tier two middle-grade Thunder Strike Talisman was successfully drawn.

Zhou Xun promptly cast a solidification technique to solidify the talisman.

This one talisman alone consumed nearly half of his mana.

This was his first successful creation of a tier two middle-grade talisman, marking his promotion to a tier two middle-grade Talisman Master.

With an excellent flow in hand.

Zhou Xun continued drawing until his mana was completely depleted.

Finally, he consumed five pieces of talisman paper, successfully drawing three Thunder Strike Talismans.

...

Time flies, a year passes in the blink of an eye.

Within this year, Zhou Xun cultivated a tier two top-grade spirit medicine to quasi-third tier, then used it to successfully increase his spiritual root by one point.

Reaching fifty-one points.

Besides, in addition to his daily cultivation, Zhou Xun used the nurtured talisman technique to nurture ten talismans, including five tier two high-grade ones and one quasi-third tier Defense Shield Talisman.

This was from Zheng Tianxiu’s spoils.

As well as Zhou Xun’s Heaven-Escaping Talisman.

This talisman is an excellent life-saving tool, one that Zhou Xun never found a second of even after searching in White Cloud Immortal City multiple times.

The remaining three are all tier two middle-grade talismans.

After nurturing them for a year, their power has increased significantly.

With his mana at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, to nurture these talismans to the Great Success stage,

Zhou Xun estimates that tier two middle-grade talismans would require about five years, tier two high-grade ten years, and quasi-third tier twenty-five years.

As for the Heaven-Escaping Talisman, Zhou Xun himself is not quite sure.

However, as his cultivation improves, and his mana strength increases, the nurturing time will correspondingly accelerate.

Half a month later, on this day, Zhou Xun was cultivating in his cave mansion.

Song Yiqing triggered the restriction.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, allowing her to enter.

”What is it?”

Zhou Xun casually asked.

Currently, Song Yiqing manages the mundane affairs of the entire dojo, referred to by everyone as the steward lady.

She carries a certain dignified aura of a leader now.

”Qiuxin has something to discuss!” Song Yiqing said softly.

”Take her to the Jingxin Pavilion!” Zhou Xun instructed.

The Jingxin Pavilion is frequently used by Zhou Xun as a reception area, with a tier two low-grade Spiritual Mist Tea Tree planted beside it, which was purchased for him by Feng Tingli.

”Alright!”

Song Yiqing quietly withdrew.

Zhou Xun stood up, tidied his blue robe, and walked out of the cultivation room towards the Jingxin Pavilion.

Jingxin Pavilion.

When Zhou Xun arrived, Weih Qiuxin was already waiting there.

Song Yiqing sat beside her, with a pot of brewed spirit tea in front of them, chatting and laughing.

”It has been a year, Fairy Weih has made considerable progress in cultivation. It seems the day of breakthrough is not far away!” Zhou Xun greeted with a slight smile.

Hearing this voice, Weih Qiuxin hurriedly looked over.

On the stone-paved path, a graceful gentleman in a blue robe approached, with an elegant presence that momentarily stunned her.

She quickly came to her senses, stood up, and respectfully greeted Zhou Xun:

”Qiuxin greets the master!”

Her voice was melodious and gentle, with a slight blush on her cheeks.

”What brings you here today, any urgent matter?”

Sitting down in front of the two women, Zhou Xun asked.

Next to him, Song Yiqing picked up the teapot and poured a cup of spirit tea for Zhou Xun.

Observing it, it appeared to be made from the Spiritual Mist Tea growing next to the pavilion.

”I come today to report good news!”

”The Red Spirit Dragon Fish has been successfully cultivated by the junior. It is now at Tier One Low-Grade, and in a few years, we might harvest the first batch of spirit fish!”

Weih Qiuxin said with a bright smile, eyes gleaming, her voice laced with excitement she could barely contain.

”Good! Good! Good!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun was delighted.

The Red Spirit Dragon Fish is exceedingly rare, if it can be nurtured to Tier Two, it would hold significant value for someone at Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment like him.

Even selling them could establish them as a specialty of Wangchuan Lake.

”You have indeed made a grand contribution!” Zhou Xun was in high spirits, contemplating what treasure to bestow upon her.

Noticing her Sixth-Layer Qi Refining cultivation, he had an idea in mind.

Patting his storage bag at his waist, a flash of spirit light appeared, revealing an exquisite two-inch-tall medicine bottle in his palm.

Gently tossing it, the medicine bottle slowly descended in front of Weih Qiuxin.

”Inside is a genuine Spirit Gathering Pill, which can aid a Sixth-Layer Qi Refining cultivator in breaking through. Today, it is a reward for your efforts in nurturing the spirit fish!”

”If you can nurture the Red Spirit Dragon Fish to Tier Two, even a Foundation Establishment Pill is not out of the question!”
