Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 399: Chapter 8: Reunion with the Jade Talisman, Great Opportunity?

After killing the two men, Zhou Xun didn’t linger much and left the place promptly, speeding off in another direction.

Firstly, there was the burly man’s lifebound magical treasure, a middle-grade attack treasure, the Nine Flames Saber. Speaking of this saber, it’s quite remarkable among middle-grade magical treasures, considered a premium!

If paired with the burly man’s cultivation method, its power would become even greater.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xun’s incarnation was a Thunder Cultivator and couldn’t fully harness the saber’s power.

In the future, this saber would naturally be auctioned or exchanged for other treasures!

However, what delighted Zhou Xun the most was the single Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire he acquired earlier, a flame known as Three Yang True Flame.

It is a Yang attribute flame with extraordinary effects against ghosts and demons.

The reason the burly man couldn’t defeat Zhou Xun’s Blood Demon Child earlier was primarily because this spirit fire hadn’t yet achieved Great Success, rendering the man unable to fully wield its power.

The second reason was that Zhou Xun’s Blood Demon Child already possessed late-stage Core Formation combat strength, clearly superior to a nascent spirit fire.

Yet this fire is full of potential, with room for future enhancement. Even if Zhou Xun can’t use it, it’s excellent for barter.

Though it can’t compare to the top-level Nine Yang True Flame, among Core Formation cultivators, it’s a formidable technique!

Its value exceeds that of ordinary middle-grade magical treasures!

Next, Zhou Xun took out the burly man’s storage bag to inventory. Besides a middle-grade defensive magical treasure, talismans, elixirs, materials, etc., altogether, it’s worth about two million Spirit Stones!

Solely from this man, Zhou Xun harvested nearly four million Spirit Stones.

What thrilled Zhou Xun even further is that the burly man’s lifebound technique turned out to be in there!

It’s a top-level technique called ”Flaming True Technique,” extremely exceptional!

It can harness Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires for cultivation; the more spirit fires collected, the faster the cultivation progresses,

the best fire attribute technique he’s ever seen!

His young disciple Xu Shaoqing has a Fire Spirit Root of sixty-one points, making this technique perfectly suited for her cultivation.

Then, Zhou Xun retrieved the storage bag from the Feather Robe elder; besides the Dust Whisk being a middle-grade magical treasure, the Feather Crane Daoist Robe he was wearing outside is also a middle-grade magical treasure.

Moreover, it can change its form according to the owner’s wishes.

Zhou Xun unhesitatingly accepted it with a smile, wore it, and with a thought, it transformed into a blue robe,

making him appear as gentle as jade, elegant and otherworldly!

Next, Zhou Xun began checking the storage bag, inside of which the Spirit Stones, materials, elixirs, etc., are less than the burly man’s, but one box caught Zhou’s attention,

This box is crafted from extremely precious Tier Three Hidden Spirit Wood,

extremely primitive in design, and the Sealing Spirit Talisman on it looks quite aged, seemingly unopened for a long time!

”With such a grand setup, the treasures inside must be extraordinary!”

Zhou Xun was pleased and without hesitation removed the Sealing Spirit Talisman,

then slowly opened the lid,

a peculiar Jade Talisman appeared in his hand,

Looking at this Jade Talisman, Zhou Xun had a realization!

Meanwhile, far away at Wangchuan Lake,

Zhou Xun’s main body tapped the storage bag to retrieve a very similar Jade Talisman!

This one was his trophy after defeating the Celestial Feather Sect Grand Elder that day, and the one in his incarnate’s hand was obtained from the burly man’s possession!

”Could there be a connection between them?”

The main body and incarnate simultaneously looked at the Jade Talismans in hand!

They felt warm to the touch, neither gold nor jade, identical in size and shape except for slightly different runes!

”These two talismans surely have some connection, and their origin must be significant!”

Separated by such a distance, yet cherished and protected simultaneously!

”It might be another incredible opportunity!”

Murmuring this, he swiftly put away the Jade Talisman!

Accompanying this, the main body took out a Blank Jade Scroll, then matched it with the Cultivation Technique Jade Scroll of ”Flaming True Technique,” engraving it meticulously one-to-one.

After a short while, it was completely replicated.

The greatest benefit of having an incarnation is that the main body can cultivate peacefully in the dojo, while all risky matters are handled by the incarnation!

This way, Zhou Xun’s main body’s safety is ensured, and risk can be undertaken to seek higher-level cultivation resources.

After all, even if the incarnation perishes, Zhou Xun can quickly refine another one with the Spirit Medicine Essence to replenish his foundation!

If it weren’t for the high aptitude of this incarnation, possessing top-level spirit medicines and treasures, he would have considered sending the incarnation exclusively to explore perilous places to gain treasures of Heaven and Earth!

After inventorying, the incarnation continued toward Luoyuan Immortal City!

Wangchuan Lake,

The main body then held the replicated ”Red Flame True Technique,” summoning his young disciple—Xu Shaoqing.

”Greetings, Master!”

At this time, Xu Shaoqing was already twenty-nine years old, and her cultivation had reached Peak Qi Refining!

”Good, it seems you are close to achieving Foundation Establishment!” Looking at his young disciple, Zhou Xun was very satisfied.

Over the years, he hadn’t taught her much; most of the time, she was with Zhou Jingsong and others.

”Disciple plans to start the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment in two months!” Xu Shaoqing replied respectfully.

Since Zhou Xun enhanced the Spiritual Qi around Wangchuan Lake, the Foundation Establishment dedicated cave mansions for his disciples on Lake Heart Island.

They have been relocated to Wangchuan Immortal City,

Moreover, several such cave mansions have been established, some for rent, others for internal personnel of Wangchuan Lake.

”Alright, have you prepared the Foundation Establishment Pill?”

”Senior Brother has prepared it for me!”

”Good, Senior Brother Jingsong has done well. The reason I called you is to pass on a cultivation technique!”

”You’re about to breakthrough to Foundation Establishment soon, so it comes just at the right time!”

As Zhou Xun spoke, he took out the newly copied Jade Scroll and handed it to Xu Shaoqing:

”This technique is called ’Red Flame True Technique,’ suitable for cultivation up to Late-Stage Nascent Soul; it is the most top-level fire attribute technique I’ve encountered in my life!”

”This technique is a core secret of Wangchuan Lake, and unless permitted by me, it cannot be disclosed!”

Upon hearing Zhou Xun’s words, Xu Shaoqing’s eyes lit up, the most top-level fire attribute technique tailored just for her!

”Thank you, Master!”

”Alright, take the cultivation technique and leave, prepare well for your Foundation Establishment!” After instructing her briefly, Zhou Xun sent her away!

Sure enough, two months later, Xu Shaoqing successfully advanced to Foundation Establishment, becoming the fourth Foundation Establishment cultivator under Zhou Xun’s tutelage.

Only the fourth disciple Wang Shun remained a Qi Refining Cultivator.

...

Central Continent Cultivation Realm,

Zhou Xun was meditating on the broad back of an Earth Element Beast, ingesting a Qi Recovery Pill, and quietly adjusting his breath.

After a long time, he finally opened his eyes.

”Although I emerged victorious in this battle, I never anticipated this bounty,”

”I reckon I need to leave the vicinity of Song Country as soon as possible!”

”Afterward, find a place to purchase some treasures containing Celestial Thunder Power and quickly reconsolidate the five Thunder Seeds!”

”Finally, find a way to resolve this Blood Soul Technique; otherwise, I can’t return to the Eastern Wilderness, nor can my main body come to the Central Continent!”

Thinking this, Luoyuan Immortal City was drawing near.
