Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 291: Chapter 39: Gaining Another True Pill Combat Power!

Zhou Xun promptly put away the talisman materials beside him, walked out of the Cultivation Room, and returned to the Cave Mansion on the surface.

Upon reaching the reception hall, Zhou Jingsong and Shi Wanying were already waiting there.

”Greetings, Master!”

The two of them bowed together.

At this moment, Zhou Jingsong, with his protruding cheekbones and a three-inch-long goatee on the chin, already had the appearance of a middle-aged man.

He was now a Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist.

Currently, he had reopened the Danhai Pavilion in Wangchuan Square and personally taken up the position of Pavilion Master.

Perhaps due to these matters, his efforts were divided, and it was not until the age of fifty-nine that he reached the Peak Qi Refining Stage.

”Jingsong, your... progress is somewhat slow!”

Zhou Xun shook his head.

In the past few years, Zhou Xun had secluded himself in cultivation, ignoring external matters, and hadn’t expected his eldest disciple’s cultivation level to fall behind.

”Master, I...”

Zhou Jingsong was aware of the situation and knew he had disappointed Zhou Xun’s expectations.

”Master, Brother Jingsong, when refining a batch of Tier Two Elixir, was careless and suffered backlash, spending more than three years to recover...”

Seeing this, Shi Wanying quickly explained.

Alchemy backlash is not unheard of; it usually occurs when refining some Elixirs with fierce potency like the Violent Qi Pill.

Fortunately, the time delay was not too long, and he reached the Peak Qi Refining Stage before the age limit of sixty.

”If it’s like this, I’m afraid you’ll only have one chance to advance to Foundation Establishment!” Zhou Xun sighed.

This disciple of his didn’t have outstanding aptitude, even lower than his own before obtaining the Spring Condensation Scripture.

”Disciple’s aptitude is dull, troubling Master greatly!”

”However, the achievements I have reached today make me already content!”

”If in the future, I step onto the Path of Foundation Establishment, I will be glad; if not, I only regret not being able to serve Master for more years!”

Zhou Jingsong spoke with genuine emotion, and Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a pang of sentiment.

Even though this disciple of his wasn’t talented, his sincerity, honesty, and steady temperament always satisfied Zhou Xun.

”You are my founding disciple, and it’s only right to dedicate myself to cultivate you!”

”After today, stay on Lake Heart Island and focus all your efforts on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. I will gather the Spiritual Qi and concentrate it within your Cultivation Room, enabling it to reach Tier Two Top-Grade concentration!”

As he spoke, he slapped his Storage Bag and took out a delicate pill bottle about two inches long, tossing it to Zhou Jingsong.

”Here is a Foundation Establishment Pill, take it!”

”Thank you, Master!” Zhou Jingsong received it with both hands and bowed again.

”Take him to your last Cave Mansion and seclude yourselves there!” Zhou Xun turned to instruct Shi Wanying.

”Yes!”

In that Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun had collected all the scriptures related to breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

It contained a wealth of past experiences from predecessors.

This was specially built by Zhou Xun for his disciples’ breakthroughs to Foundation Establishment.

”Disciple takes leave!” Seeing Zhou Xun lift a cup of Spirit Tea, they tactfully left.

Back in that Cave Mansion, an excited Zhou Jingsong opened the pill bottle given by Zhou Xun.

Instantly, an amazing fragrance filled the entire space, causing Zhou Jingsong’s mana to surge, almost giving him the urge to sit down and attempt a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

”This is... a Premium Level Foundation Establishment Pill!”

Even with Zhou Jingsong’s steady nature, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

Shi Wanying also came over to take a look upon hearing.

Inside the exquisite pill bottle, the milky white elixir surface shimmered with Spirit Charm.

It was indeed something one could only have after reaching the Premium Level of a Foundation Establishment Pill.

With Zhou Jingsong’s understanding as a Tier Two Alchemist, it was likely that even at the Premium Level, this Foundation Establishment Pill might have achieved perfection.

”Master’s alchemy skill has reached an unfathomable level!”

As far as he knew, even Tier Three Alchemists might not be able to refine such a pill.

This showcased Zhou Xun’s superb skills.

”Brother Jingsong, with this Premium Level Pill, you will definitely break through to Foundation Establishment!”

Shi Wanying exclaimed happily.

A Premium Level Foundation Establishment Pill could at least increase the success probability by thirty-five percent.

The one they held might even be higher.

Along with the Tier Two Top-Grade Spiritual Qi concentration Zhou Xun prepared.

These conditions for Foundation Establishment were unmatched compared to even hers back in the day.

”Junior Sister, rest assured, with such cultivation from Master, if I still can’t succeed, it would truly be letting him down!”

At this moment, Zhou Jingsong was full of confidence.

...

After Zhou Jingsong left, Zhou Xun did not continue cultivating.

He wanted to refine a treasure called the Blood Demon Bag.

The Blood Demon Bag is a treasure recorded in the Blood Demon Scripture, used for carrying Blood Demon Children, essential for every practitioner of the Blood Demon Scripture.

With the Blood Demon Bag, one can store all their sacrificially refined Blood Demon Children and release them during confrontations.

However, the Blood Demon Bag must be made from Tier Two Top-Grade or higher Demon Beast Hide.

But this wasn’t a problem for Zhou Xun.

He even had quite a few Tier Three Beast Hides in his possession.

Immediately, Zhou Xun slapped his Storage Bag and took out the Beast Hide of the Hu Yu Demon King from back in the day.

Instantly, a huge snow-white demon fox hide appeared in front of him.

Zhou Xun extracted a piece from it and began refining according to the Blood Demon Scripture’s method...

Three days later, Zhou Xun held a half-foot square gray leather bag, soaring into the sky.

In the next moment, he was above Wangchuan Lake.

He then transformed into a streak of green Spirit Light, flying towards the Corpse Nurturing Land.

In the past few days, while cultivating, he sensed that the five Blood Demon Children had been nurtured to Great Success.

This timing was slightly later than he estimated.

Zhou Xun guessed it might be related to simultaneously nurturing five Blood Demon Children, causing the splitting of Yin Qi and Moon Essence.

Very soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the Corpse Nurturing Land.

With a wave of his hand, he activated the Concealment Array, instantly enveloping himself in a dense aura of Yin Qi.

A layer of green light automatically rose on Zhou Xun’s body, blocking the Yin Qi outside.

Then, Zhou Xun approached the five Blood Demon Children.

He took out the Blood Demon Bag, formed a spell with one hand, sending a streak of Spirit Light onto the bag.

The Blood Demon Bag gleamed with a red light, then hovered and expanded.

At the same time, it transformed into four or five zhang in size.

An overpowering suction appeared out of thin air, rapidly swallowing the Yin Qi within the Corpse Nurturing Land.

Zhou Xun then approached the Blood Demon Children, casting a Spirit Light over them.

”Rise!”

The Spirit Light sank into the Blood Demon Children, disappearing instantly.

Simultaneously, the five Blood Demon Children, entirely blood red with black streaks on their faces, soared from the ground, hovering in front of Zhou Xun.

He carefully sensed the imposing force emanating from the five Blood Demon Children!

Approximately sixty percent of the suppression of an ordinary Fake Pill Cultivator.

Zhou Xun changed his spell, and the five Blood Demon Children immediately shifted positions, cooperating flawlessly, seemingly as one.

”With such tight coordination, they are destined to succeed!”

This arrangement of the five Blood Demon Children, as recorded in the Blood Demon Scripture, excels in both attack and defense, forming a joint assault formation!
