Chapter 253: Chapter 1: Revisiting the Ancient Ruins!

Three days later, Zhou Xun held a farewell gathering for Master Nanyue and others at Jingxin Pavilion.

He specifically brought out the last Tier One High-Grade Red Spirit Dragon Fish to entertain them.

Everyone ate happily and couldn’t stop praising!

”Junior Brother, while you stay here, make sure to watch out for Cloud Light Sect!” Zhou Buqi said, pulling Zhou Xun aside.

Although Zhou Xun hadn’t been his junior brother for long, his performance had earned Zhou Buqi’s recognition.

”Don’t worry, Senior Brother Zhou, with this array here, it’s very safe!” Zhou Xun replied slowly.

Other than a few senior and junior brothers and sisters, no one knew about his identity as a Tier Two High-Grade Alchemist.

In their eyes, Zhou Xun was still at the Tier Two Middle-Grade level.

As for his cultivation, it remained at Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Such performance wasn’t overly exceptional.

Therefore, for Cloud Light Sect, there was no need to go to great lengths to deal with Zhou Xun.

It simply wasn’t worth it!

”Alright, it’s getting late, we should set off!”

Master Nanyue looked at the sky and addressed everyone.

Soon, everyone employed their techniques, flew up, heading towards the direction of Zhao Country in the north.

Zhou Xun accompanied them for a thousand miles.

”Zhou Xun, this is far enough; you should stop here!”

Master Nanyue said.

Zhou Xun nodded, didn’t argue, and stepped on the Cyan Light Shuttle to halt in the air, cupping his hands:

”Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue, Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, take care!”

”Take care!”

With those words, everyone flew away.

Zhou Xun watched their departing figures, a sense of melancholy rising in his heart.

Suddenly, a transmission from Master Nanyue sounded beside his ear:

”Young one, don’t forget to study the array I taught you; next time we meet, if you haven’t made great progress, I’ll have a word with you!”

”I will study diligently!”

Zhou Xun silently vowed in his heart.

After Master Nanyue had gone far, Zhou Xun also returned to Lake Heart Island.

...

In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun took out several Tier Three Spirit Medicines he had obtained from Xing Huai’an’s storage bag that day.

Three Tier Three Middle-Grade, one Tier Three High-Grade.

Zhou Xun’s Soul Absorption Secret Technique could break the original limitations of Spirit Medicines, raising them to a higher level.

He planned to nurture the three Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines to Tier Three Top-Grade.

As for the Tier Three High-Grade one, he planned to nurture it to Tier Four.

At that time, Zhou Xun would have four Spirit Medicines to enhance his Spiritual Root.

As for those Tier Three Low-Grade ones, cultivating them to Tier Three Top-Grade would take too long.

Moreover, cultivating them for too long would deepen Zhou Xun’s connection with these Spirit Plants, and extracting the essence then would harm him greatly.

Picking up a Tier Three Middle-Grade Guiyuan Grass, he followed the Soul Absorption Secret Technique’s incantation, separating a strand of Essence Blood to begin refining the Guiyuan Grass.

As the Essence Blood slowly penetrated the Spirit Plant, it was unclear how much time had passed,

a subtle connection formed between him and the Guiyuan Grass.

Zhou Xun quickly released a trace of Divine Sense, injected it into the Guiyuan Grass, and then began the lengthy sacrificial refining process.

According to Zhou Xun’s experience, this step usually took ten days to complete the sacrificial refining.

Afterward, every so often, he would use his Spring Condensation Scripture to extract Spirit Medicine Essence to integrate into the Tier Three Middle-Grade Guiyuan Grass.

In a few years, Zhou Xun would have a Tier Three Top-Grade Guiyuan Grass.

Then, he would extract the Spirit Medicine Essence from this Guiyuan Grass to enhance his Spiritual Root Talent.

With his current 59 points of Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity, further improvement would make it sixty points.

That would mean a definite Earth Spirit Root.

With Earth Spirit Root Talent, he had a chance to condense a Golden Core during Core Formation.

The quality of the Golden Core wouldn’t only enhance his Divine Sense and Mana compared to a regular True Pill, but would also significantly increase future breakthrough possibilities.

When impacting the Nascent Soul Stage, the breakthrough probability would be several times, even ten times, that of the former.

Ten days quickly passed.

Feeling the Guiyuan Grass, which had nearly become one with his body, Zhou Xun smiled.

”Finally, I’ve successfully refined this Guiyuan Grass!”

Next, Zhou Xun planned to head to Hundred Savage Mountain to explore an Ancient Ruin.

In the past, his array skill was too low; even with Thousand-Answering Insect, he couldn’t deal with the protective formations of those ruins.

However, now he had transformed.

Not only had his cultivation increased to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, but his array skills had reached Tier Two Middle-Grade, nearing High-Grade level.

Coupled with his Thousand-Answering Insect, Zhou Xun believed he would succeed in entering those ruins.

”Husband, if you leave, how long will it take?” Song Yiqing asked, slightly reluctant.

”At the least, half a month; at most, half a year!” Zhou Xun thought for a moment and answered.

”Husband, be sure to watch your safety!” Song Yiqing expressed concern.

Too much had happened recently; even legendary powerful cultivators like Master White Cloud had fallen, not to mention Zhou Xun as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

”Don’t worry, your husband has plenty of techniques!”

”By the way, while I’m away, stay at Wangchuan Lake. With Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue’s Tier Three Low-Grade Array set up, it’s extremely safe here!”

”I’ll also leave Profound Armor Armadillo with you; if danger arises, let it take you and escape!”

Zhou Xun carefully advised.

”I know!”

Hearing Zhou Xun’s caring words, Song Yiqing felt warmth in her heart and obediently nodded.

...

Since Master White Cloud’s self-sacrifice of the Spirit Vein forced the beast tide to retreat, Hundred Savage Mountain had become lively again.

A large number of Demon Hunting Cultivators had returned to hunt Demon Beasts, obtaining cultivation resources.

No matter how great the calamity, life must go on.

In just a year’s time, a temporary marketplace has sprung up near Hundred Savage Mountain.

An image of prosperity.

As if the beast tide had never occurred.

On this day, outside the Hundred Savage Mountain market, a cyan flying shuttle sped over.

On the shuttle, a young man of graceful elegance, wearing a white feather magic robe, stood with hands behind his back.

It was none other than Zhou Xun, here to explore the relic.

Although Zhou Xun’s current real strength is extremely powerful, even a Fake Pill Cultivator would retreat at the sight of him.

But he has always been a cautious type.

Not long after the beast tide receded, Zhou Xun planned to gather intelligence on the current situation at Hundred Savage Mountain before proceeding with exploration.

Landing his Escape Light, with the guards’ eyes full of awe, Zhou Xun stepped into the market’s gate.

This temporary market was established by the Cloud Light Sect.

That day, with an agreement made with Master Nanyue, the interests of the original White Cloud Immortal City were temporarily taken over by Cloud Light Sect.

The resource-rich Hundred Savage Mountain was naturally the most prioritized.

Entering the market, Zhou Xun came to a shop named Demon Hunting Pavilion.

They were selling all kinds of demon hunting equipment, such as nets for capturing young beasts or Half-Step Fall used to daze demon beasts.

Without concealing his Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

As he entered, the shopkeeper enthusiastically greeted him, showing a flattery smile.

”Junior Fengg Zishan, greets the esteemed senior. May I know what instructions you have for me?”

”I want a report on the recent demon beast activity around Hundred Savage Mountain!” Zhou Xun spoke flatly, with an aura of aloofness.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper coughed lightly and put on a solemn expression.

”What kind of report does the senior wish for?”

”We have a simple version, a detailed version...”

”Just give me the detailed version!” Zhou Xun cut him off, uninterested in hearing the shopkeeper’s nonsense.

”Right away!”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed with joy, walked to the counter, and handed Zhou Xun a jade scroll.

”Inside is the latest demon beast distribution within ten thousand miles of Hundred Savage Mountain,”

”A fair price of two hundred spirit stones!”

Zhou Xun nodded, directly took out two Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, and threw them to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

He then left amid the shopkeeper’s endless gratitude.

After Zhou Xun left, the shopkeeper immediately took out two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, exchanging them for those two Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

”Didn’t expect to meet a major customer, two Middle-Tier Spirit Stones... hehe... I can at least earn eight!”

Such a scene, Zhou Xun naturally did not know of.

Even if he knew, he would not care in the slightest.

For someone like him now, a few dozen spirit stones mean nothing.

After leaving the shop, Zhou Xun found an inn to stay in.

He took out the jade scroll and began checking the recent situation at Hundred Savage Mountain.

From the map, though the beast tide had receded at Hundred Savage Mountain, the density of demon beasts remained high.

Compared to when Zhou Xun hunted for Demon Pills in the past, it’s still significantly higher.

Within ten thousand miles of Hundred Savage Mountain, more than a dozen Tier Two High-Grade Great Demons have been tracked.

”According to the map’s markings, two Tier Two Demon Beasts have recently appeared near the relic!”

”Wishing them luck, that they don’t encounter me!”

As long as there are no Tier Three Great Demons, everything to him is as weak as a chicken, easily eliminated.

Early the next day, Zhou Xun headed straight into the mountains, rushing towards the ancient relic remembered in his mind.

All the way, Zhou Xun hid his tracks.

Along the way, he encountered many demon beasts, many of which were of Tier Two level.

But for Zhou Xun, unless they were of High-Grade level, he couldn’t be bothered to take action.

Two days later, Zhou Xun successfully arrived at the deserted cliff.

Looking at the towering peak of a thousand meters, steep cliffs, and jagged strange rocks, Zhou Xun smiled faintly.

Nearly thirty years have passed, yet here he was again.

Just as Zhou Xun was about to summon the Thousand-Answering Insect, a faint wind sound came from afar.

With his Divine Sense, Zhou Xun saw two pure white demon wolves approaching him from the front and back.

They were the ones recorded on the map.

Didn’t expect them to be together.

Zhou Xun remained expressionless, slapped his Storage Bag and took out the gray small Sword Talisman Treasure, activating it.

”Roar!”

Seeing Zhou Xun’s move, the two demon wolves snarled and simultaneously charged at Zhou Xun.

Even so, Zhou Xun didn’t dodge.

Instead, he charged straight forward, with his fist raised, he smashed down fiercely.

Bang!

A dull sound of a fist meeting flesh echoed, followed by a whimper.

A demon wolf was instantly sent flying back by Zhou Xun’s blow.

This didn’t surprise Zhou Xun at all.

His Body Refining Technique has reached the Sixth Layer, coupled with the extraordinary Body Refining Technique, a normal Tier Two High-Grade Demon Beast’s physique is no match for him.

Meanwhile, the other demon wolf took its chance to claw at Zhou Xun’s shoulder.

The magic robe was torn apart and scraped against Zhou Xun’s body.

Zzz!

A piercing sound, like metal grinding, echoed, but Zhou Xun remained unscathed, not even a scratch showed.

Seeing this, the demon wolf showed a look of disbelief.

It couldn’t comprehend why the human physique before him was so strong.

In the moment of its daze, Zhou Xun directed the gray small Sword Talisman Treasure, which turned into a gray light, piercing into the demon wolf’s head, killing it instantly.
