Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 259 - 7: Disciple’s Foundation Establishment

Jingxin Pavilion,

On this day, Zhou Xun was enjoying tea and observing the scenery.

Suddenly, Song Yiqing gracefully appeared on the stone steps not far off.

"Husband, Uncle Erniu has sent a letter!"

Her voice was lodious, like the sound of a clear spring.

It had been nearly a year since Wang Erniu departed.

Due to the beast tide, most of Xui Country had fallen, and the once bustling trade caravans had beco sparse.

Coupled with the beasts scattered across the land blocking roads, correspondence had beco extrely difficult.

"We finally received a letter!"

Zhou Xun accepted the letter, opened it, and read.

Wang Erniu recounted his journey back to Red Leaf Square.

The trace of demon beasts was everywhere; the forr human gathering places and cities were mostly destroyed, reduced to ruins!

The surviving humans were less than one in ten.

On the way, he slew over a hundred demon beasts.

All were Tier One demon beasts; no Tier Two was seen.

This was a reflection of the current situation in the western part of Xui Country.

Tier Two demon beasts retreated quickly and smartly, returning to Hundred Savage Mountain along their entry route.

As for the nurous Tier One demon beasts, without the guidance of high-tier beasts, they couldn’t find their way back to the mountain and dispersed widely.

They lingered in the region tens of thousands of miles around White Cloud Immortal City.

However, most human cultivators fell, leaving Zhou Xun with no thod to deal with countless low-tier demon beasts.

He could only wait for the next generation of cultivators to grow, or for cultivators from Xui Country Eastern Domain to migrate and gradually clean them up.

Currently, Red Leaf Square is being rebuilt on its original site.

The Lin Family Territory is in a state of ruin, the forr Quasi-Third Tier Array was breached, and now only a Tier Two High-Grade Array defends.

Fortunately, thanks to Zhou Xun’s warning when evacuating from White Cloud Immortal City, the Lin Family cultivators suffered little loss.

Their personnel were intact, so rebuilding was naturally swift.

Lin Anshu even had Wang Erniu convey his gratitude.

Unfortunately, another family in Red Leaf Square, the Li Family, was entirely devoured by demon beasts.

"It seems that after this disaster, the Lin Family might actually achieve greater developnt!"

"Out of disaster cos prosperity," aptly describes this situation.

Apart from these, the letter only contained so greetings.

After reading the letter, Zhou Xun wrote a reply, briefly describing his circumstances.

Then he handed it over to Song Yiqing to arrange for it to be sent back.

The following days returned to tranquility.

...

And so, three months passed in a blink.

Cultivation Room.

Before Zhou Xun was an azure-golden pill furnace, with Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal emitting a bright yellow fla underneath.

"Rise!"

A spell was cast towards the pill furnace, and the lid automatically opened,

Three milky-white pills flew out sequentially, landing in Zhou Xun’s palm.

One was particularly smooth, with an aura of spirit charm swirling on its surface, appearing extrely transparent and perfect.

"This is a Premium Foundation Establishnt Pill!"

Zhou Xun was astonished; he hadn’t expected to refine a Premium Foundation Establishnt Pill without using Spirit dicine Essence.

It seed his alchemy skill had improved further.

With a slight thought, he elevated the other two pills to the premium level as well.

Then he placed each pill into three elixir bottles and stored them in his storage bag.

"Disciple greets Master!"

As he exited the cultivation room, a female voice rang out.

It was Zhou Xun’s second disciple, Shi Wanying.

Since returning from White Cloud Immortal City to Wangchuan Lake, Shi Wanying deeply realized the importance of strength.

No longer lazy in cultivation as before.

For two full years, besides eating and sleeping, she devoted all her ti to cultivation.

Finally, three days ago, she reached Peak Qi Refining.

Thus she ca to Lake Heart Island to visit Zhou Xun.

Seeing his disciple’s cultivation had reached a level ready to突破 to Foundation Establishnt, he imdiately began refining Foundation Establishnt Pills.

Shi Wanying’s Water Spiritual Root was twenty-two points. With his full support, reaching Peak Qi Refining at forty-six barely t Zhou Xun’s expectations.

"Here... take this Foundation Establishnt Pill and keep it well!"

Zhou Xun took out an extrely delicate pill bottle the size of an inch and handed it to Shi Wanrong.

"Thank you, Master!"

Shi Wanrong bowed in gratitude.

"If you succeed in Foundation Establishnt, it will be the best thanks!"

"This disciple certainly won’t let Master down!" Shi Wanying bowed again.

With Zhou Xun providing nurous insights for breakthroughs, coupled with the Foundation Establishnt Pill in her hand, if she couldn’t突破 to Foundation Establishnt, she would feel ashad.

"Stay at Lake Heart Island during this period; I will concentrate most of the Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Qi at your seclusion location, and it should quickly reach Tier Two High-Grade Level!"

After considering for a mont, Zhou Xun instructed.

"Yes!"

Shi Wanying’s eyes were full of gratitude.

...

Previously, to accommodate fellow disciples, Zhou Xun had built several cave mansions on Lake Heart Island.

Shi Wanying was now residing in the one that Yuan Pan’er had used.

Cultivation Room.

Shi Wanying had fully studied the Foundation Establishnt insights given by Zhou Xun, including the breakthrough process and potential issues, all clearly explained by him.

She had also simulated it in her mind multiple tis.

Now, it was ti to突破.

She took out the jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishnt Pill, pulled the cork, and poured out the pill inside.

"This is... a Premium Foundation Establishnt Pill!"

Shi Wanying was startled, followed by deep respect and gratitude.

She hadn’t expected her master’s skills to have reached such a level.

How fortunate she was to have joined Zhou Xun’s tutelage.

Calming her mind, she swallowed the Foundation Establishnt Pill and began突破.

...

Jingxin Pavilion.

Zhou Xun drank wine and enjoyed the scenery, while Song Yiqing kept him company.

At this ti, it had been a month since Shi Wanying entered seclusion.

"Husband, do you think Wanying will succeed in Foundation Establishnt this ti?" Song Yiqing asked with so concern.

Although of different seniority, she and Shi Wanying were similar in age and both from Bright Moon Square.

They quickly beca close friends who talked about everything.

"Don’t worry, I have checked, and Wanying’s foundation is solid. Before Foundation Establishnt, I have explained all issues clearly, and with that Premium Foundation Establishnt Pill, the success rate is as high as seventy percent!"

"She will definitely succeed!"

Zhou Xun reassured her.

If with such conditions she still couldn’t succeed, it could only be said that cultivation wasn’t the right path for her.

After several hours had passed.

As the sun set, a captivating scenery unfolded.

Suddenly, a remarkable burst of Spiritual Qi emanated from the sky above Shi Wanying’s cave mansion.

Witnessing the Spiritual Energy Cluster gathering, Zhou Xun bead.

"There, she’s done it!"

Now, among his disciples, soone had finally succeeded in Foundation Establishnt.

Three days later, Shi Wanying ca to express her gratitude.

’Brother Jingfeng, Wanying has successfully established her foundation; you can rest assured!’ Zhou Xun thought nostalgically, recalling his old friend as he looked at Shi Wanying.

"Without Master, this disciple would have no achievents today!" Shi Wanying said.

"Now that you have established your foundation, it’s an acknowledgnt of my teachings. Here, I gift you this flying sword for protection!" With that, Zhou Xun tapped his storage bag and drew out a Top-Grade Flying Sword artifact.

"Master has already gifted so much; how dare I accept more!" Shi Wanying hurriedly bowed.

"What, are you going to defy your master?" Zhou Xun said displeased.

"This disciple dare not!"

"Then accept it!" As his disciple, a re Top-Grade Artifact was nothing.

"Yes!"

Shi Wanying thus stored the artifact in her storage bag.

"Alright, go and inform Jingsong and the others of your breakthrough!"

Having said that, Zhou Xun waved her off.

"This disciple takes leave!"
