Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 671: Chapter 38: Refining the Thunder Seed Again, the Earthly Fiend Number!

The experience greatly benefited Zhou Xun, who then proceeded straight to his cave mansion without lingering.

...

”Young Master, you’re back!”

After three months apart, seeing Zhou Xun’s figure once more, Jiang Wanning was extremely delighted, rushing forward barefoot to embrace him involuntarily.

Through the years they had spent together, their relationship had become much more harmonious,

and Jiang Wanning had also become more familiar.

”Three months apart, and your cultivation has advanced quite a bit!”

His divine sense passed over the beauty’s body, all of her condition becoming crystal clear to Zhou Xun.

”I must thank the Young Master for bestowing the Pill Origin Wine, without such a spiritual object, Wanning’s poor aptitude would not have allowed for such rapid advancement!”

Jiang Wanning slightly bowed her head.

”By the way, speaking of the Pill Origin Wine... you go to Wuli Pavilion and find Shopkeeper Gao for me, buy back a hundred pounds of Pill Origin Wine!”

If Jiang Wanning hadn’t mentioned it, Zhou Xun nearly forgot!

This trip to the Thunder Prison, he had obtained a Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Beast Core with a thunder attribute, if used to brew Pill Origin Wine,

First, its attribute matches Zhou Xun’s, and second, it’s of a higher grade,

The effectiveness in assisting cultivation would be several times that of this current batch!

”I’ll arrange it right away!” she said, turning to leave, but Zhou Xun stopped her,

”No rush, go tomorrow, it will be fine,”

Said, he gazed at the beauty in his embrace with a warm smile, Jiang Wanning naturally understood Zhou Xun’s intentions, it had been three months since she tasted flesh, a time for intimacy and warmth!

...

Early the next morning, Jiang Wanning lazily lay in Zhou Xun’s arms, a flush still lingering on her face.

”This time on your journey, the young master seems much more vigorous!”

”Wanning... Wanning finds it a bit overwhelming!”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but think of the madness of the previous night, her face turning red.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s appetite was piqued, and he eagerly flipped over for another indulgent morning.

This time out, his Body Refining Technique had broken through to the Tenth Layer, his physique stronger than that of a Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Beast,

Ordinary magical treasures couldn’t harm him in the slightest, so naturally, his prowess was evident.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xun, refreshed and invigorated, walked out of the bedroom, while Jiang Wanning, carrying a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, headed towards Wuli Pavilion to purchase Pill Origin Wine.

Zhou Xun went to the Insect Room,

At this moment, the Phoenix Butterfly lay dozing in its nest, perhaps sensing Zhou Xun’s presence, the spirit butterfly woke up slowly,

Gazed in his direction, and then exuded a wave of joyous consciousness,

Fluttered its wings and flew out of the Insect Room, landing on Zhou Xun’s shoulder, affectionately nuzzling against his collar.

Having not seen each other for three months, the aura of the Phoenix Butterfly had grown slightly again, it seems cultivating it to the Tier Three Peak will not encounter any bottlenecks,

By then, it would require the secret spirit medicine to aid its advancement!

”It seems Wanning’s ’Hundred Insects Scripture’ proficiency is not low, she indeed has a certain insect-controlling talent!”

With a slight approval in his heart,

He then patted the storage bag, taking out a small jade bottle about an inch large, containing Tier Three Spirit Liquid.

He pulled out the stopper, gently poured out three soybean-sized drops of spirit liquid into his palm,

The Phoenix Butterfly immediately sensed a wave of desire, fluttered and landed on Zhou Xun’s hand, greedily sipping this drop of spirit liquid,

In just a few moments, it was all absorbed,

This spirit butterfly is quite good, though its consumption is somewhat large, if he hadn’t advanced to Nascent Soul, he might truly find it hard to sustain,

As for its advancement to Tier Four, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a bit distressed,

”Future matters will be considered in the future,”

He sighed and shook his head, gently sending it off with his hand,

The spirit butterfly then fluttered back to its nest in the Insect Room, continuing to slumber!

Next, he proceeded to the room of the Earth Element Beast to check; it was still in seclusion at this time, a faint aura of breakthrough lingering,

Presumably within the next few years, it will reach for Tier Four,

Once successful, he would gain another Tier Four Demon Emperor under his command!

Although the combat strength wasn’t significantly impactful for him now, it was still very enviable when mentioned.

Tier Four Spirit Beasts were rare in the entire Central Continent, especially two of them.

”One turtle, one beast, demon emperors pulling a chariot, definitely full of prestige!”

...

Not long after, Jiang Wanning returned from outside,

”How was it?”

As she left, Zhou Xun had some worries, after all, it was a hundred pounds of Pill Origin Wine, valued at a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones,

Even Wuli Pavilion might not have such a large stock!

”We’ve bought everything; Shopkeeper Gao gave us all of his stock, weighing over a hundred jin!”

”But he only charged us one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!”

As she spoke, Jiang Wanning flipped her palm and took out a yellow gourd of wine, a custom-made wine vessel ordered by Zhou Xun, surprisingly reaching the level of a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure.

Zhou Xun took it and saw it indeed weighed several more jin, worth forty or fifty High-Grade Spirit Stones,

enough to buy two Low-Grade Magical Treasures!

”Shopkeeper Gao sure knows how to do business!” Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a favorable impression.

”With this gourd of Spirit Wine, my cultivation will become much easier in the future!” He then looked at Jiang Wanning:

”How is your Spirit Wine holding up? Is it enough? If not, feel free to let me know; another hundred jin have been brewed,”

”Adding that to the existing stock, the Spirit Wine is sufficient!”

”Thank you, young master, I still have some at the moment. If it’s not enough, naturally, I will ask you for more!” Jiang Wanning said with a slight smile.

”Very well,” Zhou Xun nodded and headed straight toward the Cultivation Room.

He shut the door of the Cultivation Room and activated the restriction.

Then, Zhou Xun slapped his waist and took out a Jade Box, containing the Thunder Centipede Core obtained in the Thunder Prison,

a Thunder Attribute Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Pill.

Opening the lid, tiny Thunder Arcs instantly flickered in the air.

”What a treasure!”

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and the Inner Core flew out automatically, moving towards the gourd containing Pill Origin Wine, and entered it.

Next, he formed a spell with his hands, directing it at the gourd!

In the coming years, the demonic power within the Inner Core would gradually merge into the wine liquid, transforming into pure Spiritual Qi, nourishing his cultivation!

Even with just this Inner Core, this journey was worthwhile!

...

After finishing all these, Zhou Xun took out a Cushion and sat cross-legged,

his eyes slightly closed, beginning to meditate and adjust his breath,

This time, his greatest gain was obtaining the complete ”Purple Sky Thunder Technique,”

which could refine seventy-two Thunder Seeds,

He originally had only thirty-six, and now the quantity had doubled, his power would surely increase,

Thus, after the Pill Origin Wine was brewed, he couldn’t wait to start the refinement!

After several hours, Zhou Xun opened his eyes again,

At this time, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit had reached the peak, it was the best time to refine the Thunder Seed,

So he slightly opened his mouth, and a square jade platform as crystalline as Purple Jade flew out, suspended in front of Zhou Xun, with Thunder Arcs flickering around.

This was precisely his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Thunder Pool!

”Hasten!”

Zhou Xun formed a seal with his hand, and immediately a spiritual light struck the Thunder Pool before him, drawing out a wisp of leaping Thunder Arc.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xun divided a trace of Divine Sense and wrapped it around the leaping Thunder Arc.

Then, following the method recorded in the ”Purple Sky Thunder Technique,” Zhou Xun stimulated his Divine Sense to begin refining this Thunder Arc.

As soon as the Divine Sense touched the Thunder Arc, a sound like an explosion seemed to echo in his ear, startling Zhou Xun.

Simultaneously, a sharp pain surged in his mind, all part of the process of refining Thunder Seeds.

Zhou Xun endured the pain with determination, the spell in his hand changed, directing it at the Divine Sense wrapped around the Thunder Arc.

The Thunder Arc instantly became much more subdued.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s Divine Sense took the opportunity to completely envelop it and began refining it slowly.

Not knowing how much time had passed.

The wisp of Thunder Arc became gentle, shining with spirituality, and a faint connection emanated from it.

This first step was finally accomplished.

However, this wisp of Thunder Arc was still too weak; he needed to refine a full eighty-one strands to have enough for one Thunder Seed.

So Zhou Xun continued with his previous actions.

Because he had previously refined thirty-six, his experience was extremely rich, in just nine days, he refined all the eighty-one strands of Spiritual Thunder Arc.

Then, Zhou Xun forced out nine drops of Essence Blood, transforming it into a Blood Talisman, wrapping it around the eighty-one strands of Spiritual Thunder Arc.

Very smoothly, the Thunder Arc was completely enveloped.

At the same time, Zhou Xun’s spell in his hand changed, striking beams of spiritual light upon the Blood Talisman.

Once the Thunder Arc and Essence Blood fused into one, a round Thunder Seed the size of a thumb floated in front of Zhou Xun, thus, the thirty-seventh Thunder Seed was finally completed.

Thus, Zhou Xun incorporated it into the Thunder Pool for nurturing, continuing the refinement,

Until a year later, his seventy-second Thunder Seed was finally perfected!
