Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 129 - 59: An Old Friend Arrives!

Just like that, another half a month passed by.

Zhou Xun refined dozens of bottles of elixirs for the opening of the "Danhai Pavilion".

He used up all the spirit dicines in his hands.

Even the Tier Two Spirit dicines at the Spirit dicine Pavilion were almost entirely bought by him.

While talking with the shopkeeper of the Spirit dicine Pavilion, Zhou Xun also inquired about the Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicines.

Unfortunately, such spirit dicines are also sowhat useful to Fake Pill Cultivators, so ordinary spirit dicine shops do not sell them.

Generally, they only appear at auctions or high-end exchange etings.

Of course, those cultivation families might also have such spirit grasses in their possession.

Suddenly, Zhou Xun thought of the Lin Family.

"The Lin Family is a well-known spirit dicine cultivator in Xui Country, within their family they even once had the main dicine for the Three Crystal Condensing Pills, Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit dicine Ningzhi Grass!"

"Then these Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicines, they must have them in their family!"

"It seems I need to find an opportunity to contact the Lin Family."

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun could no longer sit still.

So he left the cave mansion and went straight to the Pill Treasure Pavilion.

...

Inside the Pill Treasure Pavilion, when he heard of Zhou Xun’s visit, Xun Houqing personally attended to him.

"Elder, your visit brings great honor to the Pill Treasure Pavilion!" Xun Houqing said with great joy on his face.

Since consulting Zhou Xun last ti, his alchemy technique had significantly improved.

This ti, when Zhou Xun visited, it was just the right opportunity to seek more guidance.

"I have co to pass a letter to Erniu!"

Without much small talk, Zhou Xun directly stated his purpose and handed a letter to Xun Houqing.

The letter contained a request for Wang Erniu to inquire about the Lin Family’s Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicine and subtly ntioned that Zhou Xun had an authentic Foundation Establishnt Pill.

As a cultivation family, Foundation Establishnt Pills are a strategic resource that they would secure at great cost whenever possible.

The Lin Family, having gone through turmoil in recent years, urgently needed to replenish their Foundation Establishnt power.

The value of this Foundation Establishnt Pill would be magnified to an even higher position.

Considering Zhou Xun’s status as a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist and his previous relationship with the Lin Family, it was highly probable to obtain a Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicine.

However, it remained uncertain what conditions the Lin Family might propose, which all depended on Wang Erniu’s reply.

Xun Houqing took the letter and assured that it would be delivered promptly.

Then, he consulted Zhou Xun on so difficulties faced in alchemy.

After Zhou Xun carefully explained, he then left.

...

As ti passed, another half a month went by.

On this day, Zhou Xun was cultivating in his cave mansion.

Suddenly a sound transmission talisman flew in and hovered above the courtyard.

Zhou Xun beckoned, and with a "swish," the talisman fell into his hand.

Upon careful inspection, it turned out that Song Zhishu had arrived at White Cloud Immortal City. He had brought along Zhou Jingsong, Shi Wanying, and others, and they were now visiting outside the cave mansion.

Zhou Xun went to the entrance, lifted the restriction on the cave mansion, and opened the door.

Sure enough, a number of people were standing outside.

The one leading them was Song Zhishu, the forr steward of Qingyue Square rental houses.

Several people stood by his side.

After years of absence, Zhou Xun’s senior disciple Zhou Jingsong had now beco steady; managing the Danhai Pavilion had evidently trained him well over the years.

To the left of Zhou Jingsong stood his parents, Zhou Jimin and his wife, now with grayer hair and looking sowhat aged.

To the right stood a young woman, athletic and upright with a heroic air; her features faintly resembled Shi Jingfeng.

She was indeed Zhou Xun’s second disciple Shi Wanying.

When Zhou Xun left, she was only thirteen years old; now she had grown up, though her mother was not at her side, seemingly staying in Qingyue Square.

This did not surprise Zhou Xun, as Shi Jingfeng and his wife had been deeply in love; after Shi Jingfeng passed, he was buried in Qingyue Square, and his widow must have been reluctant to leave.

In addition to them, a young girl of seventeen or eighteen stood by Song Zhishu’s side.

With radiant beauty and delicate features, and dressed in a light white gauze, her cool deanor was even more pronounced, akin to a snow lotus on an ice plain.

In terms of appearance, she was in no way inferior to Lin Xueying.

"This girl seems familiar; it appears her na is Song Yiqing, the little niece of the Patriarch of the Song Family. Could she also be here to seek a master?"

Zhou Xun speculated but remained calm in appearance.

"Brother Song, it has been years, and you’re still as impressive as ever!"

Zhou Xun laughed heartily and stepped forward to greet him.

"Congratulations to Elder Zhou on achieving Foundation Establishnt, a grand success on the great path!"

Song Zhishu felt relieved seeing Zhou Xun still as approachable as before.

Evidently, Zhou Xun was not the type to get complacent with success.

Zhou Xun’s two disciples and Zhou Jimin and his wife bowed down in great respect.

"Disciple pays respect to Master and congratulates Master on achieving Foundation Establishnt, a grand success on the great path!"

Seeing his grown-up disciples, Zhou Xun felt sowhat emotional.

Then he waved his hand.

Zhou Jingsong and the others felt a gentle force lift them up lightly.

Then Zhou Xun patted the shoulders of his two disciples.

"Not bad, you’ve grown up and beco more refined; let’s talk inside!"

He then led the group to the reception room.

Reception Room.

Zhou Xun served them Cloud Mist Tea as a treat.

"Brother Song has traveled hard, escorting my disciples to White Cloud Immortal City. I, Zhou Mou, thank you for that!"

"Elder Zhou..." Song Zhishu’s words were interrupted by Zhou Xun.

"No need for ’Elder’ this or that, Brother Song, don’t be so formal. We’ve known each other for years; let’s keep it as we always did!"

Zhou Xun said warmly.

Song Zhishu felt a tinge of excitent at these words.

"Alright, alright, alright, Zhou... Alchemist Zhou!"

Song Zhishu was full of emotion.

"I ca not only to escort Pavilion Master Zhou and Alchemist Shi, but also for another matter,"

"That is, on behalf of the Song Family of Qingyue Lake, to extend congratulations to Zhou Keqing for advancing to Foundation Establishnt!"

He said while presenting several exquisite gift boxes.

He passed them to Zhou Xun.

"A Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Coiling Dragon Seal, a few pieces of Copper Essence, a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit dicine, and a Top-Grade Magic Robe!"

"Oh, and I also brought the yearly stipend for Honored Guest Elder Zhou for these past years as well!"

Song Zhishu conveyed the Song Family’s terms.

Originally, Zhou Xun’s position ca with a yearly salary, amounting to two thousand spirit stones, which has now tripled. Though before, he was required to complete difficult tasks and co forth should the Song Family face hardship,

This ti, he only needed to accept simple tasks.

Song Zhishu, on behalf of the Song Family, laid out their offer.

The gifts offered as congratulations from the Song Family were worth more than three thousand spirit stones, truly a mark of significant sincerity.

After considering for a mont, Zhou Xun accepted all of them!

The Song Family was being extrely generous, and Zhou Mou would rember this favor!

Hearing this, Song Zhishu, his face beaming with gratitude, glanced at the pure and innocent young woman beside him.

The purpose of Song Zhishu’s visit had been half achieved.

And the remaining half was related to the icy yet graceful young girl standing beside him.
