Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 326: Chapter 74: Thunder Seed Great Success, Quasi-Late-Stage Combat Power!

After three days, the door of the cultivation room opened.

A tall, graceful female cultivator walked out with a smile,

only to see her whole body filled with mana, brimming with vitality as she moved.

”Congratulations on successfully achieving Foundation Establishment!”

Zhou Xun greeted with a faint smile from outside.

Song Yiqing had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment at the age of fifty-five, leaving her with ample time in the future. If she could break through to the Foundation Establishment Peak before the end of her lifespan, she might even have a chance to reach Core Formation.

Even if she can’t achieve a True Pill, forming a Fake Pill could still grant her a life span of five hundred years!

Upon stepping out, she immediately saw Zhou Xun, and she knew well that Zhou Xun had been guarding outside the cultivation room, acting as her protector during this period.

Thinking of this, warmth filled her heart, and she looked at Zhou Xun with infatuation.

’My husband treats me so well!’

Suddenly facing Zhou Xun’s playful smile, her face turned slightly red, making her look even more charming.

”Yiqing, now that you have achieved Foundation Establishment, then...”

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a body dart over and embrace him.

With such affection from the beauty, Zhou Xun naturally wouldn’t spoil the mood.

Moreover, it was his first time experiencing the presence of the Foundation Establishment stage Yiqing!

He immediately scooped Song Yiqing up in his arms and headed towards her boudoir in large strides.

Once Zhou Xun entered, the door closed automatically.

The following night was another sleepless one.

The next day, Song Yiqing lay in Zhou Xun’s embrace, with a tinge of blush still lingering on her face.

”Husband, it’s thanks to you that Qing’er is where I am today!”

These words were sincerely meant, for without Zhou Xun’s full support, a mere low-grade spirit root cultivator like her wouldn’t have had a chance at fifty-five to break through and become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

”We’ve been together for many years; no need for such formality!” Zhou Xun held Song Yiqing’s hand tight.

Since achieving Foundation Establishment, Song Yiqing had stayed by his side, approaching forty years now.

And as for Song Yiqing’s feelings for him, Zhou Xun was fully aware, hence his willing support.

When one has the capability, if one could let those around him benefit and alter their original fate, Zhou Xun was more than willing to do so.

”By the way, although you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment, you mustn’t slack in cultivation; you are only fifty-five now. If you can cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak, why would I withhold a Core Formation Spiritual Object?”

Suddenly, Zhou Xun seemed to recall something and reminded the beauty beside him.

”Core Formation?”

Upon hearing these words, Song Yiqing was stunned.

Being able to achieve Foundation Establishment was already beyond fortunate for her, and as for ”Core Formation,” she had never dared to conceive the idea.

”Could I... ever achieve Core Formation? I only have a low-grade spirit root!”

”Achieving Foundation Establishment was already a stroke of luck; the treasures of heaven and earth required for Core Formation must be astronomical!”

Song Yiqing knew immediately that the cost would be astronomical.

Feasibly, it wouldn’t be that easy even for the True Pill Cultivator Zhou Xun now.

Otherwise, why would Master White Cloud, after establishing White Cloud Immortal City for so many years, end up with only Liu Bo’an as a Fake Pill cultivator?

The disciples he had taken before all unfortunately passed away, stuck at Foundation Establishment.

It is known that those acknowledged by Master White Cloud, selected as disciples, are all exceptionally talented individuals.

If such individuals couldn’t achieve Core Formation, what chances did she, a low-grade spirit root cultivator, have?

Having been together for decades, Zhou Xun could guess what Song Yiqing was thinking upon seeing her expression,

and immediately, he feigned anger and said:

”So what if it’s a low-grade spirit root, in the Cultivation Realm, there are countless low-grade spirit root cultivators who ended up forming Nascent Souls and earned the True Monarch title!”

”Besides, with my full support, reaching Foundation Establishment Peak in cultivation is no challenge!”

”By then, take a chance at Core Formation. You might just break through, and even if not, I can always slay a Tier Three Great Demon for you,”

”Using its Demon Pill for you to refine, forming a Fake Pill, you’ll still live up to 500 years.”

”Could it be, Yiqing, you don’t wish to stay by my side forever?”

”How could that be? For Qing’er, staying by the husband for one more day is a blessing!”

Upon seeing Zhou Xun upset, Song Yiqing quickly explained.

Yet simultaneously, listening to Zhou Xun’s words, brought forth daydreams in her mind.

’If I were really fortunate enough to break through to Core Formation, wouldn’t that mean accompanying Zhou Xun for five hundred years?’

That would verify the longest lifespan for Eastern Wilderness cultivators in millennia!

After all, the Eastern Wilderness had not had a Nascent Soul cultivator for millennia.

Five hundred years is the lifespan bottleneck for Eastern Wilderness cultivators, extended by merely consuming some Longevity Pills.

Thinking this, Song Yiqing’s eyes shone brightly; she couldn’t help but feel a surge of determination and firmly said:

”Rest assured husband, I will definitely dedicate myself to cultivation and reach Foundation Establishment Peak soon!”

...

As time passed, the news of Song Yiqing’s successful Foundation Establishment quickly spread among Zhou Xun’s disciples and subordinates.

To celebrate, Zhou Xun decided to host a Foundation Establishment ceremony for her.

Following Song Yiqing’s wishes, it was not to be a grand occasion, limiting the invite to a small circle of people.

Besides Zhou Xun’s several disciples, only Fang Tianlun and his wife, Lin Xiuyin, and a few members of the Song family were invited.

Lake Heart Island, Song Yiqing’s cave mansion.

”Congratulations to Master’s wife on successfully achieving Foundation Establishment!” Zhou Jingsong and others congratulated Song Yiqing.

”Here are five bottles of Tier Two Low-Grade Qi Condensing Pills, perfect for early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Please don’t disdain them!”

Said Zhou Jingsong, as he placed five pill bottles on the table.

These five bottles of Qi Condensing Pills, together, were worth thousands of spirit stones, enough for Song Yiqing for a dozen or so years.

Fang Tianlun and his wife’s gift was a top-grade spiritual artifact, personally refined by Fang Tianlun.

Among them, magical treasure materials were mixed in, making it quite extraordinary.

Even Wang Shun, gave five hundred Spirit Stones as a gift.

His cultivation is only at the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining, and his wealth is not substantial, so being able to present five hundred Spirit Stones is already quite rare.

As for the Song Family, they directly offered fifty Middle-Grade Spirit Stones and promised to gift five hundred Spirit Stones every year thereafter.

After all, it is visible to the naked eye that in the future Zhou Xun will surpass Master Jin Hong and become the Song Family’s greatest support.

And their connection with Zhou Xun depends on Song Yiqing.

At this moment, Zhou Xun arrived at Song Yiqing’s cave mansion.

”Greetings, Master/Island Master!”

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, everyone stood up to pay their respects.

Zhou Xun laughed heartily and directly sat down beside Song Yiqing.

Then he tapped his storage bag, and several spirit lights flew out, landing on the table in front.

A Tier Two High-Grade Escape Talisman nurtured to great success, a defense talisman, and two attack talismans.

There’s also a bottle of Tier Two Low-Grade Qi Recovery Pill, Violent Qi Pill, and Healing Pill.

These items are enough to let Song Yiqing escape safely when in danger.

Unless encountering a Core Formation Stage cultivator, safety will not be an issue.

Moreover, Song Yiqing never goes out, usually staying at Wangchuan Lake, so these treasures are scarcely needed.

”Thank you, husband!”

...

Time flies, half a year passed quickly.

On this day, a hundred miles away from Wangchuan Lake, a blue spirit light rushed towards Lake Heart Island.

It arrived above Wangchuan Lake and then plunged into the water.

Moments later, this figure appeared in the lake bottom cultivation room.

It was the avatar that went out to collect Celestial Thunder Power.

After a year, it finally filled the Thunder Pool with Celestial Thunder Power.

”Finally back!”

The avatar smiled slightly and went straight into the cultivation room.

Inside, the main body was holding a talisman pen, concentrating on drawing talismans.

In the past six months, aside from cultivation, Zhou Xun’s main body was making talismans, while all other Cultivation Hundred Skills had been put on hold.

He wanted to improve his skills to the Quasi-Third Tier level as soon as possible.

By then, he could attempt to refine treasure talismans!

He was very eager about that talisman array that could withstand a Late-Stage Core Formation head-on.

”If I could successfully replicate that talisman array, then facing the Celestial Feather Sect, I would have a trump card!”

After half a year of practice, the progress in talisman making was already catching up with alchemy.

Prioritizing tasks and adjusting focus and time according to needs is also necessary.

Not disturbing the main body making talismans, the avatar went to another side.

Took out a cushion and sat cross-legged.

Having previously performed sacrificial refining on twelve Thunder Seeds, doing it again now turned out to be very smooth.

He closed his eyes, adjusted his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to the best state.

After a long time, Zhou Xun opened his eyes.

His mouth slightly opened, and a thunder pool, as crystal clear as purple jade, flew out, suspended in front of Zhou Xun, surrounded by flickering thunder arcs.

After years of nurturing, the thunder pool’s might had improved considerably along with the absorbed Celestial Thunder Power.

The flickering thunder arcs around the thunder pool made even the avatar feel a vague sense of unease.

”Hurry!”

Zhou Xun sealed his hand and immediately a spirit light hit the thunder pool in front, drawing out a flickering thunder arc.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xun split a touch of Divine Sense and began refining.

Having experienced it multiple times, the slight pain caused by the thunder arc stimulating Divine Sense could no longer faze Zhou Xun.

Soon, the thunder arc was successfully refined, becoming gentle, glowing with spirituality, also delivering an extremely subtle connection.

However, this one arc was not enough, he had to refine eighty more.

So he continued with the previous actions.

After ten days, the eighty-one spiritual thunder arcs required for a Thunder Seed were all refined and completed.

Following the same process, Zhou Xun forced out nine drops of essence blood, transforming them into a blood talisman, wrapping it around the eighty-one spiritual thunder arcs.

Then changed the spell, streams of spirit light hitting the blood talisman.

The blood talisman gradually converged with the thunder arcs.

Several hours later, they fully merged, leaving behind only a thumb-sized round Thunder Seed floating in the air.

Thus, one Thunder Seed was successfully sacrificially refined.

This refinement, compared to the first time, saved at least a third of the time.

Originally, he needed half a month to finish refining one, now, it takes only ten days.

Like this, the avatar continued to immerse itself in refining the Thunder Seeds.

Until four months later, when the remaining twelve Thunder Seeds were completely refined.

Thus, all thirty-six Thunder Seeds were refined.

Zhou Xun’s face revealed a hint of relief.

”Thirty-six Thunder Seeds,”

”With these as the cornerstone, the Purple Sky True Thunder Array laid can barely be said to have Late-Stage Core Formation combat power!”

”The Thunder Seeds have already reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm, if I could further refine that Celestial Spirit Talisman Array successfully!”

”By then, in the Eastern Wilderness, I would truly be fearless!”
