Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 271: Chapter 19: Fortune Soaring Sky-High!

The giant cyan snake immediately transformed into a green rainbow, darting into the Molten Rock Purgatory like lightning.

Master Long He sensed a disturbance behind him, hurriedly turning to see what was happening.

He saw a gigantic cyan snake, nearly a hundred feet tall, rushing towards him.

With Master Long He’s keen eyesight, he naturally recognized that it wasn’t a true demon beast, but its aura and suppression were undoubtedly akin to what an Early-Stage True Pill cultivator could possess.

”This is Master Nanyue’s Demon Spirit Transformation!”

As a renowned Array Master in the Eastern Wilderness, Master Nanyue was most praised for the Demon Spirit Transformation, a transformation restriction.

Apart from him, no one else could use a great demon’s soul to set up such a restriction.

It could exert eighty percent of the great demon’s power before its death.

”Could it be that the owner of Wangchuan Lake is related to Master Nanyue?”

Thinking of this, Master Long He couldn’t help but feel a tinge of regret.

If he’d known earlier, he would never have targeted Wangchuan Lake.

A Tier Three Low-Grade Array protection, combined with the Demon Spirit Transformation restriction.

Unless the Grand Elder or the Second Elder of the sect came here.

No one could break through Wangchuan Lake’s defenses.

But who would have known that just a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Vein would have such a protective array!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

”Yes, this is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Vein, to support this grand array would surely consume a massive amount of Spirit Stones!”

And to have such a spirit vein as a cultivation ground, it must belong to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A cultivator of this level would surely not be too wealthy.

Thus, this array wouldn’t be able to hold out for long, no wonder the person used the True Spirit Transformation.

Clearly wanting a quick battle.

Thinking of this, Master Long He smiled slightly.

”This array surely can’t hold out for long, if I defend with all my might and delay, the final victory will surely be mine!”

If Zhou Xun knew this, he would probably scoff.

Back when this array was improved, Master Nanyue personally brought him, willingly sharing everything and patiently explaining any doubts Zhou Xun had.

In addition, the array’s mysteries were recorded in a jade scroll for Zhou Xun’s comprehension.

Regarding the array’s profundity, even a genuine Tier Two High-Grade Array Master couldn’t compare to him.

So, not long after Master Nanyue left, Zhou Xun changed the spiritual power source of this array to the bottom of Wangchuan Lake.

That was a spirit vein beyond Tier Three High-Grade, supporting a Tier Three Low-Grade Array, more than enough indeed.

One could only say that Master Long He was unlucky!

A Tier Three Low-Grade Array+ higher than Tier Three High-Grade spirit vein combination, and he just happened to encounter it.

At this moment, the cyan snake moved.

Its tail lit up, and suddenly a massive white sphere of light flew out.

Carrying the suppression of a Tier Three Low-Grade Great Demon, it hurled at Master Long He.

Sensing the sphere’s might, Master Long He’s expression changed drastically, he dodged, trying to evade the attack.

But the sphere seemed to have eyes, it turned direction to follow him.

”Boom!”

A massive explosion!

The blinding white light that erupted instantly engulfed Master Long He.

After a moment, the white light dissipated, revealing the disheveled Master Long He, under the protection of a green light shield.

The green light that protected him had mostly dissipated.

The Green Source Ball he held was also dimmed, showing severe damage.

Just as Master Long He was about to catch his breath.

On the opposite side, the cyan snake’s tail lit up again, and its brilliance surpassed the previous.

Clearly, that was just a test, now it’s for real.

Master Long He’s face changed dramatically, he slapped his storage bag, took out a Tier Three Low-Grade Defense Talisman, looked reluctant, but then gritted his teeth and activated it, attaching it to himself.

Instantly, a ten-foot-tall golden translucent shield appeared in front of him.

Zhou Xun saw this, a touch of pained expression flashed in his eyes!

Instantly lost a spoil of war, and an extremely potent talisman to significantly enhance his strength no less.

As it happened, he had the Nurtured Talisman Technique, capable of enhancing the talisman’s power several times over!

At that moment, the string of five spheres emitted by the cyan snake arrived in a flash, hitting heavily on the shield.

It was evident this Tier Three Low-Grade Talisman was premium.

It took a full three spheres to annihilate it.

The remaining two spheres continued forward.

The fourth one successfully annihilated the residual green light.

The fifth sphere struck onto Master Long He’s Spiritual Light Shield, which shattered instantly.

The remaining power poured entirely onto Master Long He’s body.

A rumbling sound accompanied by dazzling white light, as if doomsday had descended!

The shockwaves from the power stirred fierce winds howling outward, Zhou Xun waved his hand, a light shield blocked the storm.

Dozens of breaths later, everything returned to calm.

Master Long He’s shattered corpse was quietly held upon the cyan snake.

Zhou Xun gestured, retrieving the spoils and Master Long He’s body, returning to the cultivation room.

...

The awe-inspiring scene just moments ago was all captured in the eyes of everyone at Wangchuan Lake.

”So Wangchuan Lake possesses such power!”

Fang Tianlun’s eyes were full of shock.

The group of cultivators attacking Wangchuan Lake was clear to see; the leader was a Fake Pill Cultivator, and the other eight were also at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Among them, there were two at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

Such a combination would even surpass the original Four Great Clans.

Yet, this very team fell abruptly within the Wangchuan Lake Array, without any means of resistance.

”Husband, it seems our decision to join Wangchuan Lake was truly ingenious!” Fairy Mingyue couldn’t help but speak up.

”Indeed, we previously underestimated the Island Master. Now it seems, among the future Core Formation Cultivators of Xui Country, the Island Master will certainly be one of them!”

Fang Tianlun sighed with emotion, then showed unabated relief.

On the other side, Zhou Jingsong and his wife were even more astonished.

”Master truly is masterful; even a Fake Pill Cultivator couldn’t harm him!”

”Wanrong, how fortunate we are to be accepted under Master’s guidance!”

As he spoke, Zhou Jingsong took Shi Wanrong’s hand.

At this moment, Zhou Jingsong was only a sliver away from the Peak Qi Refining, likely to begin his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment within a year or two.

”Master is extraordinarily gifted; possessing such strength is only natural!”

Shi Wanrong’s expression remained calm.

In his view, Zhou Xun was naturally capable of mighty divine techniques, rendering mere Core Formation Cultivators insignificant.

Not only the few of them but the entire Wangchuan Lake and nearby cultivators witnessed this scene.

”Celestial Feather Sect cultivators are attacking!”

”A Fake Pill Cultivator fell at Wangchuan Lake!”

The news spread rapidly and expanded further over time.

Ultimately, it turned into the notion that Celestial Feather Sect’s Fake Pill Cultivator attacked, only to be forcefully killed by the Master of Wangchuan Lake!

...

Zhou Xun was unaware of the shock that the Celestial Feather Sect’s Fake Pill demise had brought to everyone.

Even if he knew, it was irrelevant.

Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun took out Master Long He’s Storage Bag and began to inventory it.

At a glance, Zhou Xun was taken aback.

Spirit Stones were piled box upon box, forming a small hill.

A full range of materials, spirit medicine, and magical artifacts were amassed, spanning Tier One to Tier Two, innumerable.

”Looks like they looted the treasures of those Cultivation Families, and it’s all here!”

A rough estimate suggested a value exceeding two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

What delighted Zhou Xun the most was a large batch of Jade Scrolls, all the foundational heritage of various Cultivation Families, now belonging entirely to Zhou Xun.

”It seems, my Wangchuan Lake can also establish a library now!”

He then swiftly glanced through these scriptures.

Cultivation mysteries, ancient secret techniques...

”Eh, this is... the Artifact Refining heritage of the Luo Family... Tier Three Low-Grade level!” Zhou Xun held a gray, unadorned jade scroll, clicking his tongue in wonder.

Besides, there were also several Tier Three Low-Grade Qi Recovery Pills, Healing Pills, and two Tier Three Low-Grade Attack Talismans.

There were no other treasures.

”So few Tier Three Treasures; it seems this Fake Pill Cultivator from the Celestial Feather Sect left most treasures within the sect,”

”Only carrying those that were helpful for Magical Combat!”

Zhou Xun understood this reasoning too.

Deep infiltrations into the heart of Xui Country were extremely dangerous, possibly resulting in demise here.

Keeping unused treasures and wealth within the sect was unavoidable.

”However, they plundered numerous Cultivation Families, albeit without high-tier treasures, they made up in sheer quantity, so the gains are significant!”

Zhou Xun was naturally pleased, and besides this Storage Bag, he acquired two magical treasures!

Upon careful inspection, both were Wood Attribute, aligning with Zhou Xun’s Main Cultivation Technique!

Although he had the Wood Radiance Gourd with no shortage of magical treasures, the Wood Radiance Gourd was Master White Cloud’s Lifebound Magical Treasure and couldn’t be revealed easily.

On the other hand, this Flying Sword, being his trophy from defeating the Celestial Feather Sect cultivator, could be used openly without issue.

Then there was the Green Source Pearl, an exceptionally precious defense magical treasure, only unfortunately its spirit light was faint, requiring a period of nurturing to recover.

Subsequently, Zhou Xun took out the Storage Bags of the eight Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

After tallying, their value exceeded one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!

In total, the gains surpassed three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, not including the two magical treasures.

Such a harvest slightly exceeded Zhou Xun’s expectations.

Yet, considering Master Long He ravaged six or seven Cultivation Families’ accumulations, it made sense.

After inventory, Zhou Xun took out the corpse of Master Long He.

The Blood Demon Scripture contains a corpse refining secret technique called ”Blood Demon Child.”

It allows for refining a corpse of a cultivator above Core Formation Stage into a zombie, whose power is not weak.

With Master Long He’s Fake Pill Stage Cultivation, the crafted Blood Demon Child would be roughly equivalent to half a Fake Pill Cultivator!

If he could refine five, using the Five Sons United Heart Secret Technique in the Blood Demon Scripture, they could rival an Early-Stage True Core Cultivator!

Then, Zhou Xun took out the corpse of Master Long He,

Zhou Xun exerted force, following the spell in the Blood Demon Scripture, to extract a drop of essence blood.

He cast it towards Master Long He’s corpse.

The essence blood transformed into a peculiar Blood Talisman, landing on Master Long He’s forehead.

Then it slowly merged in, releasing a faint blood light from Master Long He’s body.

Subsequently, a formless yin soul power emitted from Master Long He’s corpse, assaulting Zhou Xun.

This was the residual divine soul power within Master Long He’s body.

This was also the inevitable backlash of refining a Blood Demon Child.

At this moment, a disturbance emerged from the Storage Bag.
