Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 288: Chapter 36: Sacrificial Refining of the Lotus Seed!

Just stepped out of the cultivation room,

and saw Song Yiqing in a simple, elegant moonlit dress waiting outside.

Upon seeing Zhou Xun’s figure, Song Yiqing smiled and approached:

”Husband, have you made progress?”

Zhou Xun laughed heartily, stepped forward and scooped Song Yiqing up horizontally.

”Of course!”

Then headed towards the bedroom.

This kind of celebration after a breakthrough had already become a ritual for Zhou Xun.

A sleepless night.

The next day, a satisfied Song Yiqing lay in Zhou Xun’s arms.

”Husband seems even more vigorous!”

Zhou Xun smiled faintly, swept his divine sense slightly, full of praise in his eyes:

”You are not bad yourself, at the peak of the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining, in a few days you’ll reach the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining!”

Song Yiqing was eighteen years younger than Zhou Xun.

Reaching the peak of the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining at the age of forty-seven had already exceeded Zhou Xun’s expectations.

”Thanks to your full support, husband!”

Feeling the intimate atmosphere, Zhou Xun was moved again, and soon the two were entwined once more.

...

At noon, Weih Qiuxin requested an audience.

”Greetings, Island Master!”

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, Weih Qiuxin bowed and saluted humbly.

”Please rise, Fairy Weih!”

Every time she saw him, Weih Qiuxin was always respectful, never overstepping.

Zhou Xun advised her many times, but Weih Qiuxin remained unchanged.

According to her, if it weren’t for Zhou Xun, she would probably have perished alongside White Cloud Immortal City during the beast tide.

She wouldn’t have today’s achievements.

Breaking through to Foundation Establishment, enjoying a lifespan of two hundred years, and serving as Chief Steward of Wangchuan Lake, with high status and power.

Therefore, for Zhou Xun, no matter how much courtesy she showed, it wouldn’t be too much.

”Report to the Island Master, as per your orders, I have exchanged some treasures for spirit stones, now totaling forty thousand. Please check, Island Master!”

Saying this, Weih Qiuxin patted the storage bag, and streaks of spirit light fell to the ground, forming a small hill.

In less than half a year, she had exchanged treasures worth forty thousand spirit stones at a very fast pace.

This also proved that Wangchuan Square, in today’s Xui Country, could be considered a first-rate large market.

Except that the spirit vein was slightly low, unsuitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to reside permanently.

”Oh!”

Zhou Xun swept the divine sense and counted the spirit stones piled into a small hill with clarity.

A total of three hundred and one pieces.

What surprised him was that among them, there was a high-grade spirit stone.

Even in a Core Formation Sect, a high-grade spirit stone would be considered a strategic resource, and he didn’t expect Weih Qiuxin to be able to obtain one.

Truly an unexpected joy.

”You’ve switched to forty thousand spirit stones so quickly, and there’s even a high-grade, Fairy’s merit isn’t small!”

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but praise.

Accepting Weih Qiuxin as a subordinate back then was indeed the right decision.

”It’s only my duty to share the worries of the Island Master!”

Weih Qiuxin did not take credit.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was quite satisfied, thought for a moment, then had an idea.

He patted the storage bag, took out two tier two high-grade talismans he personally drew, and handed them to Weih Qiuxin.

”Those with merits will be rewarded, that is the rule of conduct at Wangchuan Lake, these two talismans are bestowed upon you!”

”Thank you, Island Master!”

Weih Qiuxin rejoiced upon hearing this!

Accepted the two talismans, and upon a glance,

one could tell the extraordinariness of these two talismans, one offensive and one defensive, sufficient to be counted as trump cards for Weih Qiuxin now.

Promptly put away the talismans into the storage bag.

Zhou Xun then took out treasures worth fifty thousand spirit stones, handed them to Weih Qiuxin to sell, in exchange for spirit stones.

Based on his understanding of Weih Qiuxin, she shouldn’t betray for fifty thousand spirit stones.

Even if she did, it would not harm Zhou Xun fundamentally at this point.

...

Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun’s main body and embodiment sat facing each other.

After Weih Qiuxin left, Zhou Xun did not linger, heading straight here.

The previous day, Zhou Xun had extracted the essence of the cultivated Guiyuan Grass, successfully enhancing his spiritual root to sixty points.

Right now, he still had three tier three middle-grade spirit medicines and one tier three high-grade spirit medicine.

These four spirit medicines, once cultivated, could all be used to enhance his spiritual root talent.

Zhou Xun naturally did not want to waste time.

Moreover, he had successfully cultivated an embodiment, no longer needing to consume the availability of his main body’s lifebound spirit plant.

This way, even if the foundation gets damaged, it wouldn’t affect the main body.

Zhou Xun thus patted the storage bag on his waist, a stream of spirit light flew out into the embodiment’s hand opposite.

It revealed a delicate jade box.

The embodiment opened the jade box, revealing a two-foot-long wooden vine.

It was the tier three middle-grade spirit medicine ”Profound Wood Vine!”

The embodiment gently took it, dividing a trace of essence blood according to the Soul Absorption Secret Technique, beginning the refinement of Profound Wood Vine.

As the essence blood gently seeped into the spirit plant, it was unclear how much time had passed,

but a faint connection formed between him and the Profound Wood Vine.

The embodiment quickly split off a trace of divine sense, embedding it into the Profound Wood Vine, followed by a prolonged sacrificial refining.

According to Zhou Xun’s experience, at this stage, the sacrificial refining could be completed in ten days.

Then, periodically, using his Spring Condensation Scripture, he would extract the essence of the spirit medicine and integrate it into this tier three middle-grade Profound Wood Vine.

Three years later, Zhou Xun would be able to harvest a tier three top-grade Profound Wood Vine.

Since the spirit medicines for enhancing the spiritual root can be used by the embodiment,

naturally, Zhou Xun’s main body can sacrificially refine the true lifebound spirit plant.

According to the description in Spirit Wood True Technique, only after sacrificially refining the lifebound spirit plant would he be able to successfully use those miraculous secret techniques.

Otherwise, his Spirit Wood True Technique wouldn’t even match the most ordinary cultivation techniques.

For Zhou Xun, since he wanted to sacrificially refine the lifebound spirit plant, it naturally had to be the best.

Zhou Xun naturally recalled the peculiar lotus seed he obtained from the ancient ruins in Hundred Savage Mountain.

That lotus seed was definitely an extraordinary item.

Not to mention that even top-tier opportunities in the Cultivation Realm, like ”One Qi Transforms Three Pristine Ones” and ”Celestial Pure Water,” could only be on the periphery of the treasure vault space.

And this lotus seed resided alone in the center.

Not to mention it was nourished by a rare spiritual spring.

All these demonstrated the lotus seed’s uniqueness and extraordinariness.

Recalling the Spirit Wood True Technique, he knew that to cultivate a lifebound spirit plant, it had to be the finest for him.

Zhou Xun took out the jade box he had obtained from the ancient ruins on the Hundred Savage Mountain and slowly opened it, instantly receiving a burst of enlightenment.

Thoughts raced in Zhou Xun’s mind, but he shook his head, not letting them dwell on the cultivation issues.

He carefully separated a strand of essence blood and injected it into the lotus seed within the jade box.

At that moment, a vast image entered Zhou Xun’s mind:

Here, he was filled with the feelings of vastness, antiquity, desolation, and chaos.
