Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 533: Chapter 142: News of the Nascent Soul Pill!

”When did those two Daoist brothers arrive at the Sea Suppression Immortal City?”

”After I formed my Nascent Soul and exchanged for that Longevity Pill, I nearly exhausted all my Spirit Stones and Elixirs. So I thought of coming to the South Sea to hunt some Demon Beasts!”

”By the way, I have two Tier Three High-Grade Demon Beast Cores here, which are just right for you to use now!”

As he spoke, True Monarch Tianci took out two exquisite Jade Boxes and handed them to Zhou Xun.

He knew Zhou Xun was also an Alchemy Master, so he didn’t overstep his bounds.

”This item is indeed of great use to me, so I sincerely accept it!”

Zhou Xun did not refuse and accepted it. Their relationship had long surpassed the ordinary exchange of material items.

Speaking of those two Celestial Profound Spirit Armors, in terms of value, even a Top-Grade Magical Treasure may not surpass them.

”With these two Inner Cores here, I can refine two batches of Elixirs, saving me decades of arduous cultivation.”

”By the way, the Human-Demon Races war is about to break out now. Although it’s fraught with danger, it’s also an opportunity for us Loose Cultivators!”

”Brother Zhou might seize the opportunity and acquire enough resources!”

Suddenly True Monarch Tianci’s tone shifted seriously.

”What do you mean by this?”

Zhou Xun asked in confusion.

”I learned from True Monarch Qianchuan that those we fought before were merely the South Abyss Race. Now the war has escalated,”

”I’m afraid the entire South Sea Demon Race will be drawn in.”

”At that time, the Righteous Alliance, Celestial Dao Alliance, and Demon Alliance certainly won’t stand by idly,”

”To motivate Human Race Cultivators, the Three Great Influences will present many strategic resources, including top-level Spiritual Objects like the Nascent Soul Pill!”

”Brother Zhou, you should seize the opportunity to earn more Battle Merits!”

”Otherwise, when all the Core Formation Cultivators of Central Continent respond and flock here, the competition will be intense!”

True Monarch Tianci wore a serious expression, paused, and continued:

”In six months, the first batch of Spiritual Objects will arrive. Reportedly, there are three Nascent Soul Pills among them. Brother Zhou, you must seize them!”

”Thank you, Daoist Brother, for informing me!”

”However, besides the Nascent Soul Pill, are there any other Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, such as the ’Void Tribulation Flower’ or the ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’?”

Zhou Xun immediately asked. If these Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects were available for exchange, Zhou Xun could collect all the four main materials for the Nascent Soul Pill.

As for the complete Nascent Soul Pill, he dared not extravagantly hope for it,

As the merits required for such an Elixir must be astronomical since it’s being presented at all.

Hearing this, True Monarch Tianci shook his head,

”The ’Void Tribulation Flower’ and ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’ are main materials for refining the Nascent Soul Pill and naturally won’t be presented. Even if they have them, they would be used to refine the Nascent Soul Pill!”

Zhou Xun nodded, not surprised by this.

”Brother Zhou, are you perhaps collecting the main materials for the Nascent Soul Pill, planning to refine it yourself?” True Monarch Tianci asked curiously.

”Indeed!”

Zhou Xun nodded, not hiding it,

”I currently have ’Profound Cold Ice Marrow Liquid’, ’Dragon Blood Holy Fruit’, and ’Void Tribulation Flower’, and if I can obtain the ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’, I can try refining it.”

”I was originally worried about the problem of refining the Nascent Soul Pill, but with Daoist Brother here, the problem naturally resolves!”

True Monarch Tianci, being a Nascent Soul Cultivator, held a high position in Sea Suppression Immortal City with an extensive network. Helping Zhou Xun find someone to refine the pill was obviously not a problem!

”Brother Zhou, such a grand gesture! I never imagined you’d already acquired three of the four main materials. This last Spirit Medicine, I’ll certainly help you gather!”

”In that case, thank you, Daoist Brother!”

With the arrival of True Monarch Tianci, not only did it solve his Alchemy problem, but it also provided vital high-level intelligence during the Human-Demon War.

It even offered Zhou Xun a powerful backing.

Zhou Xun believed that, given his cultivation and Celestial Profound Spirit Armor, even among Middle-Stage Cultivators, True Monarch Tianci was among the strongest!

”Having a strong support feels truly pleasant!”

Then, the group began discussing cultivation issues, which lasted for nine full days before they stopped.

True Monarch Tianci, as a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, had extraordinary insight, and this discussion benefited Zhou Xun immensely.

Afterwards, True Monarch Tianci and his companion stayed on Celestial Talisman Island for three whole months before reluctantly returning to Sea Suppression Immortal City.

...

After True Monarch Tianci and his companion left,

Zhou Xun summoned Luo Yuancheng and arranged for him to expand the intelligence network, fully probing news about Middle-Grade Tier Four Spirit Grass and Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects.

As the saying goes, great opportunities arise from great chaos. Zhou Xun thus set a plan in motion; if related news truly reached him, he could ease his efforts.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xun once again entered seclusion.

In the Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged,

With a crimson Pill Furnace, Tier Three Low-Grade, placed in front of him.

Named ”Red Mist,” it was left behind by an Elder of the Celestial Talisman Sect and mainly refined from Red Fire Essence,

providing certain bonuses for refining Tier Three Elixirs.

Apart from this, there were dozens of precious Spirit Medicines placed around, all acquired earlier from the Celestial Profound Secret Realm.

With a wave of Zhou Xun’s hand, a flash of light transformed into a Jade Box that fell onto the ground.

It was one of the two Inner Cores True Monarch Tianci gave to Zhou Xun,

A flick of his finger, the Sealing Spirit Talisman was lifted, and the box lid opened by itself!

”Crack—”

At the moment the box opened, a fine frost appeared in the air, eventually spreading throughout the entire Cultivation Room.

”A Tier Three High-Grade Ice-Type Inner Core, it’s my first time seeing it,”

Zhou Xun marveled,

Although this Core wasn’t Thunder Attribute, it was still a Tier Three High-Grade Inner Core, and the refined Ice Essence Pill was of immense benefit to Zhou Xun now.

Zhou Xun formed hand seals, pointed at the ”Red Mist” in front,

”Boom—”

A bright yellow flame rose from thin air, enveloping the entire Pill Furnace.

The refining process began.

Three days later, Zhou Xun looked at his palm

where six Elixirs lay with a frosty surface, imbued with Spirit Charm.

All were authentic products!

The medicinal energy was even more abundant than those previously refined!

But that wasn’t all,

With a pat on his waist, Zhou Xun retrieved over thirty Tier Two Spirit Medicines,

and using the Spring Condensation Technique, extracted the Spirit Medicine Essence, infusing it into the six Elixirs,

Enhancing them to their limit, then stopped,

At this point, the six Elixirs were crystalline and distinct, with faint golden patterns emerging on their surfaces, extremely extraordinary!

”With these six Elixirs, my cultivation can rapidly advance next!”

Furthermore, Zhou Xun used the same technique to refine another Wood Attribute Inner Core into Elixirs as well,

Though this Elixir matched his body’s attribute, hence Zhou Xun intended to keep it for his own use,

...

Time flies, years pass by swiftly, and three years have gone by,

Zhou Xun was now one hundred and twenty-one years old!

On this day, as Zhou Xun sat in the Cultivation Room, he suddenly opened his eyes,

With three years of cultivation and the addition of the Ice Essence Pills, Zhou Xun’s progress in Middle-Stage Core Formation had surpassed two-thirds,

”I reckon in at most another thirty years, I’ll step into the Late-Stage Core Formation!”

Understanding his own condition, Zhou Xun shifted his focus to the twin blue wings in his Dantian,

At this moment, his Thunderbolt Wings flickered with Thunder Arc and Spirit Charm, only lacking a tiny bit to be fully controllable!

”Counting the time, another three years have passed, and it’s time for the last refinement of the Thunderbolt Wings!”
