Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 327: Chapter 75: The Zhou Family of Jimin Mountain!

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and moon race by like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

Now, Zhou Xun is already halfway through his seventy-fourth year.

At this moment, the liquid mana in his dantian astonishingly reached one hundred seventy-three drops; in a few more years, he could reach the Foundation Establishment Peak.

Lake Bottom Cultivation Room!

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, today he was going to attempt to break through to Quasi-Third Tier Alchemist!

A year ago, after his avatar completed the sacrificial refining of the Thunder Seed, the alchemy practice that had stalled for half a year resumed.

Strangely, after a six-month hiatus, Zhou Xun’s alchemy skills not only did not become rusty.

The speed of skill improvement was even better than before.

Zhou Xun guessed that he had practiced too frequently before, leading to a somewhat impatient mindset that resulted in falling into the lower vehicle.

After a six-month halt, instead, he adjusted his state of mind to a peaceful state,

thus achieving twice the result with half the effort.

So within a year’s time, Zhou Xun rapidly improved his alchemy skills to Tier Two Peak.

Taking advantage of this feeling still being present, Zhou Xun decided to directly charge at Quasi-Third Tier Level!

With a pat on the storage bag, he took out a piece of Quasi-Third Tier Calming Incense and ignited it in front of him.

In no time, a faint sandalwood scent lingered at the tip of his nose, and Zhou Xun’s mind instantly went into a trance, becoming calm, making all his six senses sharper.

This is the effect of Quasi-Third Tier Calming Incense, which can temporarily enhance a cultivator’s six senses and resist distractions.

It is an excellent auxiliary item for cultivators.

Zhou Xun at this time only had a few sticks left in his hand.

For a long while, Zhou Xun opened his eyes, his pupils as calm as a lake, without a ripple.

His essence, qi, and spirit were also adjusted to their optimal state.

Without hesitation,

he patted his storage bag, and several rays of spirit light flew out, landing on the ground:

One ancient-looking pill furnace with a blue-gold body, exactly the Magical Treasure Level Pill Furnace Master White Cloud used.

A stack of top-grade Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal, refined from Tier Three Low-Grade Dragon-Subduing Wood, of extremely high value, a foot-long piece sold for over a thousand spirit stones.

These were also obtained from Xing Huai’an’s storage bag back in the day, presumably left by Master White Cloud.

More than twenty different spirit medicines, among which one stood out, being a Quasi-Third Tier Level Rejuvenating Spirit Reishi!

These were the materials for refining elixirs this time.

And what he wanted to refine was the most common Quasi-Third Tier Qi Recovery Pill!

Qi Recovery Pill, from Tier One Low-Grade to Tier Two High-Grade, he had refined countless times, extremely skilled, with every process mastered thoroughly.

And this Quasi-Third Tier Qi Recovery Pill, although it was his first time attempting it.

It, however, inherited from the lower-tier Qi Recovery Pills, merely differing in refining techniques and main ingredients.

Thus, for the current Zhou Xun, refining this pill posed a relatively low difficulty, just right for breakthroughs.

He took out a piece of top-grade Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal and placed it under the pill furnace.

Then, he cast a spell, igniting the Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal instantly, a bright yellow flame rose up, enveloping most of the pill furnace.

At this moment, Zhou Xun was not in a hurry to refine the spirit medicines; this step was for heating the furnace.

Sensing the state of the pill furnace, after some time, Zhou Xun willed the flame to shrink significantly.

With a wave of his fingers, the lid of the furnace opened automatically, simultaneously, the more than twenty spirit medicines in front of him rose into the air, one after another, each falling into the pill furnace.

This is the prowess of a Magical Treasure Pill Furnace, able to refine several different spirit medicines at once.

Unlike before, where multiple pill furnaces had to be brought out for separate refining.

Of course, it also had to do with Zhou Xun’s Divine Sense exceeding that of ordinary True Pill Cultivators.

Years ago, after reaching the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense increased by five hundred zhang again!

Reaching a tremendous three thousand five hundred zhang!

Thus, manipulating this Magical Treasure Pill Furnace was effortless.

He was extremely familiar with the method of refining Qi Recovery Pills, having simulated it countless times in his mind before starting.

Thus, very soon, all the spirit medicines were fully processed, successfully transformed into medicinal liquid.

Next came the fusion.

This step was extremely perilous.

If careless, the medicinal liquid could be destroyed, all materials ruined in one fell swoop, equating to a loss of thousands of spirit stones!

Zhou Xun’s hands made seals, casting spells onto the pill furnace.

This was a technique he had newly learned, capable of enhancing the stability during the fusion of medicinal liquids.

Indeed, under the effect of the spell, more than ten different medicinal liquids fused seamlessly together.

Starting to emit a faint medicinal fragrance.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun changed his spell,

a peculiar power divided the medicinal liquid into three, which then slowly solidified into a pill prototype under the effect of spiritual fire.

No one knew how long time had passed.

An astounding medicinal fragrance spread from the pill furnace, permeating the entire cultivation room.

The fragrance invading his nostrils gave Zhou Xun’s mind a shock.

Because it seemed that the mana consumed during alchemy was slightly recovered.

Truly worthy as a Quasi-Third Tier Qi Recovery Pill.

At this stage, basically, there was no problem with the refining.

However, Zhou Xun did not relax in the slightest, casting the final Condensing Pill Technique.

The pill smoothly took shape.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly!

”Refining successful!”

With a wave of his sleeve, the furnace lid opened automatically, then three gleaming white elixirs flew out, landing in Zhou Xun’s palm.

Arranged in a triangle.

”Pa-la”

”Pa-la”

Two faint cracks sounded,

one of the elixirs split open a thin crack in the middle, its color instantly dimming slightly.

Another even directly cracked into two halves!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun sighed,

”Two pills formed, one perfect, one flawed!”

”However, it’s still considered a successful refining!”

According to alchemist rules, as long as one perfect pill is formed, it counts as a successful advancement.

This lustrous Quasi-Third Tier Qi Recovery Pill bears witness to the birth of a Quasi-Third Tier Alchemist!

After putting away the elixirs, Zhou Xun did not stop.

Once again, he took out a set of Qi Recovery Pill materials for further refining.

He wanted to capitalize on this feeling and practice repeatedly until he could consistently yield three perfect pills per furnace.

Thus, for half a month straight, Zhou Xun continued alchemy nonstop, until interrupted by a message.

[Respected Master, disciple will hold the Clan Founding Ceremony on the thirteenth of this month at Jimin Mountain, should Master have time, please grace us with your presence! Your disciples Zhou Jingsong and Shi Wanrong humbly invite you!]

”Clan Founding Ceremony!”

Zhou Xun muttered these four words, showing an approving look.

It seems Zhou Jingsong has made up his mind, deciding to fulfill his father Zhou Jimin’s wish and establish a cultivation family.

Naturally, Zhou Xun was pleased to see this happen.

With the aptitude and determination of Zhou Jingsong and his wife, even with his support, it was not easy to make further progress on the path of cultivation.

If they shifted their focus to founding a cultivation clan instead, it would also be a good choice.

Perhaps, because of today’s action, they might create a formidable entity in the future, and as founders, they would naturally be famous.

After all, among the scriptures Zhou Xun had read, there existed Nascent Soul Clans with such an existence.

Occupying lands of several countries, with a legacy spanning millennia!

”If Zhou Jimin were still alive, he would probably feel proud too!”

Zhou Xun couldn’t help but think of the clever old man who once knelt and begged him to save his life at Qingyue Square back then.

It could be said that Zhou Jingsong’s achievements today were inevitably linked to his plans back then.

”Thirteenth of this month!”

Looking at the date, Zhou Xun smiled, realizing!

”Isn’t it today? Well, let me go have a look!”
