Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 635: Chapter 20: Steady Progress, Strength Enhanced

So he closed his eyes slightly and began to regulate his breath.

About half a quarter of an hour later, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit reached the peak, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing eyes as calm as an ancient well.

”Now is the time, success or failure hinges on this!”

This was his second time refining a Tier Four Talisman, and he had a strong premonition that he could succeed,

His hand wiped towards the Storage Bag at his waist, and several Spirit Lights flew out, landing on the table before him.

A delicate wooden box, with a Tier Three High Grade Sealing Spirit Talisman affixed on it.

From this, one can see that the treasure inside must be extremely precious, it was none other than the Tier Four Talisman Paper refined by True Monarch Tianci previously!

All of it was refined from the Demon Emperor Beast Hide.

A small lump of Spirit Ink, from which a faint Spirit Charm was emitted, showing that this item was extraordinary, primarily composed of Tier Four Demon Emperor Blood mixed with several rare materials.

Plus the High-Grade Magical Treasure level Talisman Brush Jinzhu, these were the materials for this refinement.

Zhou Xun looked at the Talisman Pen in front of him, with a gleam in his eyes,

He flicked his fingers, and a Spirit Light fell on the wooden box, the Sealing Spirit Talisman automatically fell off, the wooden box opened,

Next, a highly spiritual Tier Four Talisman Paper flew out from inside and lay flat before him.

”This time, it must succeed!” Zhou Xun muttered to himself,

After speaking, he picked up the Talisman Pen without hesitation, lightly dipped it in the Spirit Ink,

and started to inscribe on the Talisman Paper in front of him,

With his many experiences in refining Tier Three Talismans, Zhou Xun’s hand was extremely steady, without the slightest tremor, spiritual power in his body slowly merged into the Spirit Ink through the Talisman Pen,

and then stayed on the Talisman Paper through the tip of the pen,

the strokes moved like dragons and snakes, completing in one go,

the Spiritual Energy Circuit instantly connected!

Having completed this step meant the Talisman was already halfway successful, but Zhou Xun did not relax his vigilance, carefully examining the semi-finished Talisman, fearing it might have issues.

Because last time, it was at this step that there was a problem, the impure spiritual power caused a conflict, leading to spontaneous combustion and destruction.

After waiting for a few breaths, there was no change on the Talisman Paper, only the faintly overflowing Spirit Light showing this Talisman was extraordinary!

”Good, good, good, it seems to have succeeded!” Zhou Xun was delighted in his heart.

Immediately, he formed a spell with both hands, a Spirit Light was cast on the Talisman,

Sealing Spirit Technique!

As this spell was cast, the Talisman instantly quieted down, becoming extremely ordinary.

At this point, this Tier Four Talisman was considered successfully refined.

This also meant that Zhou Xun had officially stepped into the realm of a Tier Four Rune Master, completely worthy of the title ”Talisman Dao Grandmaster!”

”From the time I learned Talisman Making, it has been over a hundred years, finally becoming a Tier Four Rune Master, all my hard work is not in vain!”

Zhou Xun chuckled lightly.

After resting for a while and adjusting his mood, Zhou Xun began to continue to the next step!

Nurtured Talisman Technique!

To enhance the power of this Talisman, though applying the Nurtured Talisman Secret Technique to a Tier Four Talisman, this was his first time, so he was extremely careful.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xun formed a spell with both hands, muttering incantations,

as the spell was urged, mana surged at his fingertips, subtly glowing, Zhou Xun immediately pointed at the Talisman in front,

A streak of cyan Spirit Light was cast on it,

After a moment, this Spirit Light was absorbed into the Talisman, a very faint sensation of connection transmitted from it!

Feeling this, Zhou Xun was delighted in his heart,

”Succeeded!”

Then he placed this Talisman into his Dantian for nurturing with mana.

As long as it is nurtured for several years, the power of this Talisman will greatly increase, becoming one of his trump cards!

Having accomplished all this, Zhou Xun was somewhat joyful in his heart,

”I didn’t expect, among many skills, it was the Talisman Dao that broke through to Tier Four first!”

Zhou Xun could also figure out the reason for this,

Firstly, the Talisman Dao technique, that was the first to obtain Tier Four inheritance, plus during the Human-Demon War, materials were not scarce.

Secondly, having True Monarch Tianci, this Talisman Dao Grandmaster to guide and exchange pointers day and night, progress was naturally rapid, coupled with this Tier Four Talisman Pen,

It was only natural for the breakthrough to occur first!

Besides, his Alchemy Dao is currently at Tier Three Peak, fortunately, he previously obtained the Alchemy Dao inheritance from True Monarch Pill Origin, reaching Tier Four Middle-Grade,

for quite some time, he won’t have to worry about the problem of inheritance,

As for the Path of Array, it is now at Tier Three High Grade, just one step away from the peak, but after that, there is no inheritance, wanting to break through to Tier Four would likely be extremely difficult!

”In the next exchange meeting, I wonder if I can exchange for a Tier Four Path of Array inheritance!”

But Zhou Xun didn’t have too high expectations because any Tier Four inheritance is the sect’s core treasure, not easily released!

”If I can achieve Tier Four Array Master, my status in Immortal City will probably rise several levels!” Zhou Xun sighed,

Currently in Immortal City, among various skills, Array Masters are the most prestigious, treatment is best, status is highest.

Even Great Cultivators meet them with respect!

”The next focus should be on improving arrays and Alchemy. Enhancing arrays greatly assists my understanding of the Sword Array Technique!”

Next, Zhou Xun meditated and adjusted for half an hour, starting to refine the second Talisman,

However, this time he was refining Treasure Talisman,

also part of the Celestial Spirit Talisman Array,

If a complete set of Tier Four Low Grade level Celestial Spirit Talisman Array can be obtained, his power will certainly be tremendously enhanced, at least making his confrontation with South Abyss Demon Emperor less pressuring!

Six days later, Zhou Xun stopped.

He had refined a total of ten Treasure Talismans, still needing twenty-six more.

The biggest reason was the material issue, the Tier Four Talisman Paper on hand was limited, insufficient to refine a complete set of Treasure Talismans.

”Unexpectedly, after slaying three Demon Emperors, the materials for refining Treasure Talismans are still lacking, I must procure a batch!”

”Fortunately, in half a year it will be the exchange meeting, numerous Nascent Soul Old Monsters will be present, acquiring a batch of Tier Four Beast Hide shouldn’t be a problem!”

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun felt much reassured.

...

Currently, he still had one thing left to do, which was Sacrificial Refining of Thunder Seed and Thunder Pool,

Previously, through Wuli Pavilion’s channels, he purchased two Profound Thunder Crystals, now with free time, taking this opportunity to absorb all Thunder Element Power from them,

to enhance the power of Thunder Seed and the Magical Treasure Thunder Pool!

It should be known that Zhou Xun’s Lifebound Magical Treasure is currently still at the Middle-Grade Level.

Of course, this is greatly related to Zhou Xun’s short cultivation time and insufficient nurturing time for the Thunder Pool, but he has now advanced to Nascent Soul,

nurturing speed is several times what it was before, as long as enough Thunder Element Power is provided, advancing the Thunder Pool to High-Grade shouldn’t be a problem!

By then, his strength will have huge improvements!

No longer powerless as before when facing South Abyss Demon Emperor,

On the day when True Monarch Yama was killed, South Abyss Demon Emperor’s Divine Techniques seemed like heaven’s wrath, True Monarch Yama’s imposing might while suppressing South Abyss Demon Emperor,

still fresh in his memory,

At that time, he realized under the Fourth Realm, late-stage and below were completely different levels, the gap was unimaginable!

After all, those who cultivate to late-stage of the Fourth Realm are all dragons among men, from a young age, they were geniuses who fought across stages!

”Even if defeated, one must have the strength to resist for a breath!”

Zhou Xun’s eyes gleamed sharply, he patted his waist and took out the Jade Box containing Profound Thunder Crystal!

With a flick of his finger, the Sealing Spirit Talisman automatically fell off, and the Jade Box opened,

At the same time, several streaks of purple light shot from the box, turning the entire Cultivation Room into purple, the air filled with the sound of Thunder Arcs!

”What a treasure!”

Zhou Xun grabbed one of them in his hand!

Instantly, several purple lightning bolts attacked, climbing up along Zhou Xun’s arm, enveloping half of his body!

This made his body feel a tingling numbness!

Ignoring the physical anomaly, Zhou Xun slightly opened his mouth, a square Thunder Pool of two inches flew out, suspended before Zhou Xun,

Next, he formed a spell with one hand, pointing at the Profound Thunder Crystal,

A wisp of blue-purple light was drawn out, approaching the Thunder Pool, and was immediately absorbed!

”Z-Z-Z—”

A booming sound instantly arose from the Thunder Pool, that was the violent Thunder Element Power being refined!

After a long time, this sound gradually disappeared, the Thunder Pool also calmed down,

This meant that Thunder Element Power was successfully refined, becoming a part of the Thunder Pool!

In the following time, Zhou Xun continued repeating the operation,

Until two months later, the Cave Mansion welcomed the visit of an old acquaintance!
