Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 187 - 117: News of the Beast Tide!

Zhou Buqi’s eyes were blazing as he looked into Zhou Xun’s eyes.

Zhou Xun’s expression remained unchanged, calm and composed, as he slowly spoke:

"Thanks to the full support of the Chief Steward, according to my estimate, in five or six years, I should be able to attempt to break through to Tier Two High-Grade,"

"However, I cannot guarantee when exactly I can advance, but five years should most likely be enough!"

In total, it will take at most eleven more years.

It’s slightly later than originally planned, but a year’s delay is acceptable.

This timing was deliberately arranged by Zhou Xun.

He hoped that by the ti he officially assisted Master White Cloud in refining elixirs, his cultivation would have reached Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt.

Hearing Zhou Xun’s response, Zhou Buqi nodded in satisfaction.

This progress would not delay his master, Master White Cloud, in refining the Crystal Condensing Pill.

"That’s good. If you have any matters that need attention, just let know; the Immortal City will surely fully support you!"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed one matter I need the Chief Steward’s help with!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun imdiately brought up his issue:

"I’ve co to the Immortal City this ti to attend the auction. Unfortunately, managing the dojo for these years has been expensive, and I’m a bit short on spirit stones, so I wonder if I could get a loan from the Immortal City!"

"Borrowing spirit stones is not an issue, how many do you need?"

Zhou Buqi said indifferently, seeing Zhou Xun needing sothing from him was a good thing.

The more he owed the Immortal City, the more at ease they felt.

It is those who want nothing that are hardest to control.

"Thirty thousand!"

Zhou Xun stated a number!

Upon hearing this number, Zhou Buqi was a bit surprised.

Thirty thousand spirit stones, even among Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivators, only a few could take it out directly.

It’s not that Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivators don’t have assets of this amount, but those who can produce this figure in spirit stones are extrely few!

Zhou Buqi pondered for a mont, then nodded.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones, I agree!"

"Thank you, Chief Steward!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands in salute.

With fifty thousand spirit stones on hand, plus the thirty thousand on loan, that amounts to a full eighty thousand!

Including the 20% discount I have.

Acquiring the "Blue Spirit Lamp Flower" and those two auxiliary materials should be no problem.

"By the way, I recently heard a piece of news saying that the number of demon beasts in Hundred Savage Mountain has suddenly surged, which seems to be a prelude to a beast tide. How does the Chief Steward view this?"

In the entire Xui Country, in terms of intelligence, besides the Cloud Light Sect, White Cloud Immortal City is the most inford.

And as the Chief Steward handling secular affairs of the Immortal City, there’s no news Zhou Buqi doesn’t know.

Therefore, Zhou Xun sought information from him.

"So you’ve heard of this too!"

Zhou Buqi’s expression turned grave.

"This matter is of great importance, and you must swear by your Dao heart not to disclose any information before I can tell you!"

After pondering for a while, Zhou Xun nodded.

As a loose cultivator, such high-level cultivation realm news is extrely important.

Although breaking a Dao heart oath has severe consequences, almost using one’s own Dao path as the cornerstone.

But as long as he doesn’t break the oath, nothing will happen, and he has no reason to divulge the information.

Those who have deep ties with him.

Lin Xueying is in the Cloud Light Sect, so there’s nothing to worry about, and Wang Erniu in Red Leaf Square, even if a beast tide occurs, he will surely need to move forward and retreat with the Lin Family.

It’s not so free, the disadvantage of joining a family.

As for Zhou Jingsong and his wife, Wang Shun and other Danhai Pavilion crew, after receiving the information, they can make the most appropriate arrangents.

And they will surely follow his orders.

Song Yiqing, who stays by his side, can be arranged for in advance.

So Zhou Xun solemnly swore by his Dao heart, not to disclose even a word of the news heard today.

Seeing this, Zhou Buqi nodded and slowly spoke:

"The beast tide matter, now it’s inevitable!"

Zhou Xun was slightly shocked inside but did not speak. He knew Zhou Buqi would surely continue.

"My master, Master White Cloud, personally ventured into Hundred Savage Mountain to investigate. According to him, from within Hundred Savage Mountain, Demon Beasts are continuously migrating out!"

"As a result, the density of demon beasts on the periter today is twice as much as before."

"According to records from several cultivation countries around Hundred Savage Mountain over the past thousands of years, approximately every three to five hundred years, a minor beast tide is launched on the surroundings!"

"Basically, each ti led by a Tier Three Great Demon!"

"Each interval, almost never exceeding five hundred years!"

"And for us in Xui Country, it’s been nearly five hundred years since the last beast tide!"

"So this ti, it’s unavoidable!"

"However, my master’s close friend—Master Nanyue, has already agreed to co to White Cloud Immortal City to assist!"

"Master Nanyue is a Peak of Middle-Stage True Core Cultivator. With him helping to guard, this beast tide poses no problem!"

Zhou Buqi had a faint smile on his face.

Master Nanyue, Zhou Xun had naturally heard of his great fa.

Master Nanyue is not a cultivator from Xui Country but a Zhao Country person, two cultivation countries north of Xui Country.

It is said that this person was also of loose cultivator origin and is renowned throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Even more astonishing is that Master Nanyue is a genuine Tier Three Middle-Grade Array Master; the Mountain Protection Array of White Cloud Immortal City was designed by him.

However, he did not realize that Master White Cloud had such a relationship with this person.

No wonder Master White Cloud, being rely at the Early-Stage True Pill, could withstand the pressure from the Cloud Light Sect, occupy the Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein of the White Cloud Mountain Range, and establish the second Immortal City in Xui Country.

"I see!"

Zhou Xun was enlightened.

With two True Pill cultivators overseeing, joined with a Tier Three Middle-Grade array, White Cloud Immortal City is indeed as solid as a rock.

Even if a Tier Three Great Demon attacks, defending White Cloud City is not a problem.

However, the tens of thousands of miles around the Immortal City might turn into a paradise for demon beasts.

Even Zhou Xun’s Wangchuan Lake is at risk of being overrun.

Yet, Zhou Xun believed he wasn’t so unlucky as to encounter a Tier Three Great Demon.

At the sa ti, Zhou Xun felt a wave of relief in his heart.

Thankfully, he ca to visit Zhou Buqi.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known about Master Nanyue coming here.

Knowing that his current cultivation has reached the fifth layer of Foundation Establishnt, if he directly faced Master Nanyue, a Peak of Middle-Stage True Core.

He might be exposed if there’s sothing special in the Divine Sense of a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array Master.

This made Zhou Xun more determined to assist Master White Cloud in alchemy after reaching Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt.

Afterward, the two continued chatting leisurely, with Zhou Xun taking the opportunity to inquire about cultivation issues.

Being an experienced Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt cultivator, Zhou Buqi naturally had no difficulty guiding Zhou Xun.

It wasn’t until late at night that Zhou Xun finally bid farewell.

Before leaving, half of the leftover Peach Blossom Brew was also brought back by Zhou Xun.

Upon returning to the Golden Spring Lane Cave Mansion, a familiar figure appeared before Zhou Xun.
