Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 106 - 36: Parting Is Sweeter Than a New Marriage!
On the fragrant couch,
swaying through the night.
Zhou Xun truly deserves the title of a Body Refining Cultivator, even Lin Xueying, a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, struggled to endure.
The next day.
Lin Xueying’s head rested on Zhou Xun’s arm, her jade-like arms draped around his neck.
Her star-like eyes flickered with tenderness, appearing languid.
It was a long while before they both got up.
After enjoying breakfast prepared by Lin Xueying, they chatted in the living room.
"Xueying, congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishnt!" Zhou Xun spoke sincerely, taking out a jade box and handing it to Lin Xueying.
"This is my gift to you!"
"Thank you, Zhou Lang~" Lin Xueying responded, feeling even more joyful.
She happily received it.
Opening it, joy spread across her face.
"This is... a Tier Two Beauty Pill!" Lin Xueying exclaid.
Even with her status, she couldn’t help but be moved by the gift.
She was well aware of this elixir, having inquired about its price before.
Ultimately giving up at the cost of 3000 Spirit Stones.
Now, seeing this elixir before her, how could she not be pleasantly surprised?
Furthermore, as a Female Cultivator, she naturally cared greatly about her appearance.
"Thank you, Zhou Lang, you are so good to !"
Zhou Xun, now just a Qi Refining Cultivator, likely used his entire fortune of 3000 Spirit Stones to buy the Beauty Pill, this gesture moved her deeply.
It also strengthened her resolve in her choice.
"As long as you like it!" Zhou Xun smiled gently.
Lin Xueying nodded, then put the Beauty Pill into her Storage Bag.
Now that she had reached Foundation Establishnt, her main concern was Zhou Xun’s Foundation Establishnt!
"You are now at Ninth-Layer Qi Refining, it’s ti to start on Foundation Establishnt matters. Unfortunately, our Cloud Light Sect allows only one Foundation Establishnt Pill per person, and it must be used imdiately. Otherwise, I would surely exchange one for Zhou Lang!"
"But although I couldn’t get a Foundation Establishnt Pill, I do have so related Spirit dicines!" Lin Xueying smiled playfully.
She then patted her Storage Bag and took out a jade box.
Removing the Sealing Spirit Talisman on it, revealed a Spirit Grass very familiar to Zhou Xun—the Dragon Heart Fruit!
"This is one of the three auxiliary Spirit dicines for the Foundation Establishnt Pill, but unfortunately, I have collected only one!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help feeling a bit touched and said warmly:
"Xueying, I have already collected all the auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
"Really?" Lin Xueying’s eyes lit up, admiring the man before her.
Zhou Xun, having just reached Late-Stage Qi Refining three years ago, had already collected the three auxiliary ingredients for the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"With these three auxiliaries, exchanging for a Foundation Establishnt Pill is no problem!" Lin Xueying exclaid excitedly.
"However, I plan to collect the main materials and then refine it myself!" Zhou Xun revealed his plan to Lin Xueying.
"The Foundation Establishnt Pill, although only a Tier Two Low-Grade Elixir, is too important. Generally, no one would really let a Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist refine it,"
"Usually, it’s a Tier Two Middle-Grade or even High-Grade! For example, the Foundation Establishnt Pills within White Cloud Immortal City are all personally handled by Master Hongyu!"
"This also ensures a yield rate of three pills per batch of materials!"
"Could it be that you have already been promoted to a Tier Two Alchemist?" Lin Xueying speculated, knowing best of Zhou Xun’s Alchemy Talent, even surpassing her own.
"Indeed!" Zhou Xun nodded.
For him, even if he refined an Inferior Pill, it wouldn’t matter; he could enhance it with Spirit dicine Essence.
"I will definitely try my best to help you find the main materials!" Lin Xueying offered without hesitation.
"Then I rely on you!" Zhou Xun did not refuse, knowing Lin Xueying’s identity and status made it much easier for her to gather such items.
In the following days, Zhou Xun stayed at Lin Xueying’s Cave Mansion.
...
On the seventh day, the day of Lin Xueying’s small Foundation Establishnt celebration arrived.
The location was the guest hall of Cyan Bamboo Peak.
This celebration was a small private gathering, so there weren’t many attendees.
Over twenty people in total, aside from Zhou Xun and two others, the rest were all disciples of the Cloud Light Sect.
The group sat at three tables,
At Zhou Xun’s table, besides the hostess Lin Xueying, there were three other Foundation Establishnt Cultivators and two won in palace attire.
The other two tables were for the Qi Refining Disciples of the Cloud Light Sect.
Zhou Xun, as graceful as jade, stood out among the nurous cultivators, attracting the frequent glances of the two won in palace attire!
"Junior Sister Lin, who are these three?" Asked a Foundation Establishnt young cultivator who didn’t recognize Zhou Xun and the others.
"Lin Zhenyun, Wang Erniu, both are Lin Family cultivators, and this is Zhou Xun, my... close friend, a Tier Two Alchemist!!" Lin Xueying said, a bit despondent, initially wanting to say they were partners, but ultimately only called him a friend due to their undefined status.
Those present were perceptive and quickly deduced the relationship from Lin Xueying’s peculiar behavior.
"I am Chii Shaoming, nice to et you all!" The young cultivator greeted warmly, leaving a good impression.
"Haha, anyone invited by Junior Sister Lin is certainly outstanding!" Another man in white robes laughed heartily, his words flattering everyone present.
"Oh, I’m Sunx Yuanque!" The man said without arrogance, treating everyone equally.
Following this, as they all chatted and laughed, the atmosphere beca lively.
No one despised Zhou Xun or spoke rudely.
First, Lin Xueying was a wise person, befriending peers whose character she approved of; secondly, she was Master Fengyue’s only direct disciple, holding a special position that no one in the Cloud Light Sect dared to provoke.
After the banquet, the crowd dispersed, with Sunx Yuanque exchanging Sound Transmission Talismans with Zhou Xun, expressing a strong interest in alchemy but lanting his average talent, remaining a Middle-Grade Alchemist.
He promised to visit next ti!
Zhou Xun welcod him, taking such polite words lightly.
As the small celebration ended, Zhou Xun and the others prepared to leave.
...
At the mountain gate.
Lin Xueying bid farewell to the guests.
She was, naturally, reluctant to part with Zhou Xun.
"Zhou Lang, won’t you stay a few more days, or how about moving to Juntian City?"
Juntian City, an Immortal City under the Cloud Light Sect, was only a few days’ journey from the sect’s mountain gate.
If Zhou Xun moved there, they could et frequently.
Zhou Xun shook his head, though Juntian City was splendid and surpassing White Cloud Immortal City in prosperity.
However, it wasn’t as accommodating to Loose Cultivators, primarily housing families affiliated with the Cloud Light Sect, with any Loose Cultivators present rely as affiliates of sect disciples or family cultivators.
With his Foundation Establishnt imminent, Zhou Xun cared most about opportunities for Foundation Establishnt, which Juntian City offered little access to.
"Alas!" Lin Xueying, understanding Zhou Xun’s difficulties, didn’t press further.
"You must co to see often!"
"I will!" Zhou Xun gently tucked Lin Xueying’s hair behind her ear.
"Farewell!"
With those words, he was about to turn and leave.
"Wait!"
At that mont, a dignified yet lodious female voice called out.
