Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 131 - 61: Blood Escape Secret Technique!

"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Xun!" The two stepped forward respectfully with a bow.

"Good... good!"

Seeing Zhou Jingsong’s honest and sincere deanor, Xun Houqing was quite fond of him, as if seeing a reflection of himself.

"Brother has taken in a good disciple!" Hearing Zhou Xun refer to him as Brother, Xun Houqing was overjoyed and imdiately addressed him as Brother in return.

Though he was honest, he was not foolish.

Zhou Xun extended a gesture of closeness, and if Xun behaved with aloofness, it would have been considered discourteous.

"Your praise is undeserved, Junior Brother!" Zhou Xun gladly accepted him as a Junior Brother.

Xun Houqing had a solid foundation in alchemy; he was certain to advance to a Tier Two Alchemist in the future, making him worthy of Zhou Xun’s investnt.

"Is this visit in regard to Erniu’s reply?" Zhou Xun inquired.

"Brother is indeed correct, I have two letters here, one from Erniu and another from the Patriarch addressed to you!"

Xun Houqing nodded and promptly took out two letters from his Storage Bag and handed them to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun took them, cast a spell to dispel the restriction on the envelopes.

Wang Erniu’s letter was concise; after receiving Zhou Xun’s letter, he went to the current Patriarch of the Lin Family, Lin Anshu, and delivered Zhou Xun’s letter.

The Lin Family placed great importance on this and specially convened a high-level eting, though the outco was unknown to Wang Erniu.

However, the Patriarch wrote back to Zhou Xun.

According to Wang Erniu’s guess, Zhou Xun should be able to achieve his goals.

After all, the affair between Lin Xueying and Zhou Xun was no secret among the Lin Family’s upper ranks, and Zhou Xun was forrly associated with the Lin Family’s Pill Treasure Pavilion.

Due to these deep connections, many have considered Zhou Xun as half a Lin Family mber.

Zhou Xun then opened the letter from the Lin Family Patriarch.

The letter addressed Zhou Xun’s inquiry about Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicine, confirming that the Lin Family did indeed have it!

When the Lin Family evacuated back then, the most precious batch of Spirit dicine was also entirely relocated, therefore this portion of the Spirit dicine suffered little loss.

The Lin Patriarch invited Zhou Xun to return to Red Leaf Square to discuss the matter face to face, acknowledging the seriousness of the situation, it would be prudent to discuss it in person.

Zhou Xun pondered for a mont and agreed.

Now having broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and with the Heaven-Escaping Talisman in hand, even a Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator could not detain him.

Thus, safety was not an issue for him.

Moreover, having lived in Red Leaf Square for several years, he felt a deep affection for the place, a return visit would be good, though he wondered how many old acquaintances would remain.

For instance, Hong San from those days, the plump steward from Luliu Lane who helped him, Lan Song, Brother Gao of the Spirit Slaughter Cultivators, and others.

There was also Shan Xionghai and Shan Ershu, whom Zhou Xun had previously asked Wang Erniu to find, but after the chaos of those years, they lost touch with the Shan Xionghai family, and this ti he had to investigate in person.

How Shan Xionghai obtained the Body Refining Technique he gave to Zhou Xun back then was also a mystery to him.

Besides that, there was still that loose end, the third of the Wei Brothers, Wei Shangyi!

These were all matters for Zhou Xun to address.

Of course, Zhou Xun had an unspoken thought, "A wealthy man going ho is like wearing a splendid robe at night!" in his heart when he agreed to the return.

He then wrote a reply and handed it to Xun Houqing.

"Please deliver this letter to the Lin Patriarch!"

Being Alchemists, the few of them exchanged so alchemy insights afterwards.

As the saying goes, "a stone from another mountain can polish jade," even Low-Tier Alchemists had their own insights.

Zhou Xun gained not a small harvest from this exchange.

After a full half-day, Xun Houqing finally took his leave.

...

Ti flew by, and half a month passed in a blink.

Finally, the day arrived for the opening of Danhai Pavilion.

During this period, Zhou Xun led two disciples to refine a large number of Elixirs.

Currently, Danhai Pavilion was still missing a Tier One High-Grade Alchemist.

It would have been great if Xun Houqing was willing to co, but unfortunately, he would not leave the Lin Family.

As for external recruitnt, it was even more unlikely.

The threshold for becoming an Alchemist was not low, and any Alchemist was usually cultivated by a major power.

As for Loose Cultivator Alchemists, most were at the Tier One Low-Grade level; even Middle-Grades were extrely rare, which was why Zhou Xun’s position was so unique.

A solitary Loose Cultivator becoming a Tier Two Alchemist, his talent in alchemy must be exceedingly remarkable.

Zhou Xun could only hope his senior disciple would prove competent, ascending to beco a High-Grade Alchemist soon.

Danhai Pavilion.

Zhou Xun, together with Elder Yun, greeted at the entrance.

Inside, it was left to the miscellaneous tasks personnel to manage the guests.

These are all recruited by Old Daoist Chuyun this past month.

"Alchemist Zhou, congratulations, congratulations, wishing you prosperous business and wealth abound!" Zhou Buqi personally ca to offer his congratulations, giving Zhou Xun ample face.

His arrival also gave everyone in the venue a renewed understanding of Zhou Xun’s status in White Cloud Immortal City.

"That’s Chief Steward Zhou, even he ca, it seems Alchemist Zhou really has broad connections!"

"Not only the Chief Steward, Steward Sunx of Cloud Light Sect in our White Cloud Immortal City also ca!"

"These two represent the greatest powers in Xui Country. With their recognition, Alchemist Zhou can truly walk sideways in Xui Country!"

Just as everyone in the venue was discussing fervently.

Zhou Xun personally hosted Zhou Buqi and Sunx Yuanque, and walked into the shop.

Zhou Buqi walked with the grace of a dragon and the stance of a tiger, exuding authority; Sunx Yuanque was suave and unrestrained, a graceful gentleman.

The first floor was filled with elixirs for Qi Refining Cultivators, Zhou Buqi and Sunx Yuanque glanced around, uninterested, and then went upstairs.

Here, what’s sold are Tier Two Elixirs.

Suddenly, Zhou Buqi’s gaze landed on several jade bottles and asked:

"Are these elixirs all personally refined by Honored Guest Elder Zhou?"

"Indeed, for these elixirs, Zhou Mou has endured several months of hard work, exhausted his Spirit Stones, and even borrowed quite a bit!"

"I’m just hoping that after opening, I can sell so to recoup the costs!"

Zhou Xun said without revealing his emotions.

"Tier Two Middle-Grade Yuan Gathering Pill, I must congratulate Honored Guest Elder Zhou on advancing to Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist!" Zhou Buqi restrained the shock in his heart, and sincerely congratulated.

"Congratulations Brother Zhou!"

Sunx Yuanque was also full of shock; a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist before the age of forty, in their Cloud Light Sect, even the Tier Three Alchemist would be at such a level at this age!

"Thank you Brother Sunx and Chief Steward," Zhou Xun saluted the two.

Then he turned to Zhou Buqi and said:

"Zhou Mou does have a matter where I need Chief Steward’s help!"

"What matter, Honored Guest Elder Zhou, just speak, Zhou Mou will try to satisfy whatever he can!" Zhou Buqi said solemnly.

"After Zhou Mou advanced to Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist, I struggled due to the scarcity of Spirit dicine, and took a while to refine a single batch. I request the Chief Steward to grant the authority to exchange Spirit dicine; I would be most grateful!"

Zhou Xun said with clasped hands.

Even at White Cloud Immortal City, near the Hundred Savage Mountain, Tier Two Spirit dicine is scarce, and what Zhou Xun requires is above Tier Two Middle-Grade.

Such Spirit dicine is rarely sold in ordinary shops.

Therefore, Zhou Xun aid at the White Cloud Immortal City’s official channels, and this is also why he showcased the Yuan Gathering Pill.

"After returning, I will promote Alchemist Zhou to High-Ranking Honored Guest Elder, as for the matter of Spirit dicine, I also agree!"

"However, Alchemist Zhou must refine at least one batch of elixir for the Immortal City each month!"

Zhou Buqi thought for a mont, then slowly said.

"I naturally agree to this!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

Refining elixirs for the Immortal City, firstly he can gain Contribution Points, secondly he improves his alchemy skills, and thirdly he might obtain so Middle-Grade Elixirs.

It can be said to be killing three birds with one stone.

Sunx Yuanque beside him was extrely envious of Zhou Buqi at this mont.

Unfortunately, he was only the steward of Cloud Light Sect’s White Cloud Immortal City residence, without the authority to mobilize sect Spirit dicine resources.

Otherwise, he would also recruit Zhou Xun.

Perhaps he could add another Tier Three Alchemist for Cloud Light Sect!

...

After the opening of Danhai Pavilion, Zhou Xun entrusted the shop’s matters to Old Daoist Chuyun and two disciples, and instructed Old Daoist Chuyun to stockpile refining materials for healing and Qi Recovery Elixirs.

"Master, do you an Golden Cloud Valley?" Old Daoist Chuyun asked.

"Indeed, Golden Cloud Valley is about to open, the demand for healing and Qi Recovery Elixirs will surely surge, if we start stockpiling now, we can definitely make a huge profit!"

"Master is wise!" Old Daoist Chuyun flattered.

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, and returned to his Cave Mansion.

Inside the Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun took out the book "Blood Demon Scripture."

Having reached the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he was qualified to practice more of its secret techniques.

This ti he planned to learn "Blood Escape."

A miraculous escape technique that burns one’s Essence Blood to instantly flee for ten thousand miles.

Of course, given his current cultivation level, being able to flee for a thousand miles would be impressive.

Next, he planned to visit Red Leaf Square.

Since he’s going out, he must prepare thoroughly so as not to encounter unspeakable troubles!
