Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 318 - 66: Core Formation Celebration!

As ti passed, news of Zhou Xun’s Core Formation celebration began to spread among the surrounding cultivation influences.

At the sa ti, news of him achieving status as a High-Grade Master also gradually spread, not limited to Xui Country alone.

Even the southern Fengg Country had heard of it.

anwhile, Zhou Xun’s experiences were also being compiled by others.

Born as a Loose Cultivator, he gradually stood out through his alchemy talent, eventually becoming a disciple under Master White Cloud.

Moreover, he successfully broke through to Core Formation stage in just a few decades, an experience that undoubtedly inspires those low-level Loose Cultivators.

Not to ntion reaching Core Formation under seventy years of age,

Looking across the entire Eastern Wilderness, only a few recorded in scriptures had achieved such feats.

It can be said that Zhou Xun had now replaced Master White Cloud, becoming the new aspiration for Loose Cultivators.

...

As the days passed.

The day of Zhou Xun’s Core Formation celebration drew closer and closer.

Representatives from so influences even ca to visit Wangchuan Lake in advance.

For instance, the Lin Family from Red Leaf Square, who were both nearby in distance and relationally close.

Zhou Xun originated from Red Leaf Square, once stayed in the Pill Treasure Pavilion under the Lin Family, and had a close relationship with Lin Xueying.

The two were natural allies.

Now that Zhou Xun had beco successful, it was only natural for the Lin Family to co and strengthen their relationship.

Faced with the Lin Family’s early visit, Zhou Xun did not neglect them and t with the Lin Family Cultivators imdiately.

This ti, the Lin Family was led by Patriarch Lin Anshu, accompanied by Xun Houqing, who was familiar with Zhou Xun, and several Lin Family juniors.

As for Grand Elder Lin Yuanru, now over two hundred and thirty years old, his life was almost at its end and he seldom left ho.

In the guest hall.

Lin Anshu and Xun Houqing were seated on either side of the lower seats.

It was worth ntioning that beside Lin Anshu was a fair and handso young boy, around fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Junior Lin Anshu, along with my young son Lin Youshan and various Lin Family juniors, et Master Zhou and congratulate the Master on achieving the Great Dao and attaining longevity!"

Seeing Zhou Xun approaching, Lin Anshu stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Xun, offering a grand salute.

The others followed suit, each performing their salutations.

"Daoist Lin, we’ve known each other for many years, and you as Xueying’s uncle, we are all family, no need to be so polite!"

Zhou Xun’s voice was gentle, like a spring breeze washing over them.

He glanced at the young boy beside Lin Anshu, understanding Lin Anshu’s intention.

Nothing more than hoping to beco his disciple following his success in Core Formation.

Zhou Xun was ntally prepared for such personal requests; if this young man’s character and talent were outstanding, it would be no issue to accept him as a disciple.

After all, the young man was Lin Xueying’s cousin.

And under his tutelage were only three disciples so far.

Then, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to Xun Houqing, his friend known since youth.

Currently, Xun Houqing appeared middle-aged, with a touch of gray at his temples, his cultivation still at the Peak Qi Refining stage,

while he was the sa age as Zhou Xun, nearly seventy years old, and still had not broken through to Foundation Establishnt.

"Houqing, you’ve aged!" Zhou Xun sighed.

Upon hearing Zhou Xun call him, Xun Houqing imdiately stood up, looking at Zhou Xun, who still appeared youthful, feeling rather complex about it.

Back in the day, they both studied alchemy in the Pill Treasure Pavilion.

Now, decades later, his old friend had beco a significant figure in Xui Country, a Core Formation Cultivator, enjoying a lifespan of five hundred years.

As for him, he hadn’t even broken through to Foundation Establishnt, and in a few decades, he would beco a handful of yellow earth.

"Elder Zhou still looks the sa as before!"

Xun Houqing said respectfully.

"We were friends from a young age, no need to be so formal, just address as a peer!" Zhou Xun said sincerely.

After which, he paused montarily before continuing:

"I rember you were at Peak Qi Refining back then, why... why haven’t you broken through?"

Xun Houqing’s lack of advancent to Foundation Establishnt was unexpected to him.

After all, when he left White Cloud Immortal City, Xun Houqing had reached Peak Qi Refining and had also advanced to Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist.

Normally, the Lin Family would certainly have prepared a Foundation Establishnt Pill for him.

Although Xun Houqing’s talent wasn’t outstanding, he was very steady, progressing step by step.

Zhou Xun had seen it; his cultivation foundation was very solid, and with the help of a Foundation Establishnt Pill, his breakthrough chances were quite high.

"Houqing’s talent is dull; I failed to break through, disappointing Daoist Zhou!" Xun Houqing expressed sorrowfully.

"Alas!" Hearing this, Zhou Xun could only sigh.

In cultivation, there are no certainties; it can only be said that Xun Houqing’s fate wasn’t profound enough.

"If you have talented descendants in the future, you can send them to Wangchuan Lake. Accepting a registered disciple is no big deal for !"

Zhou Xun said.

"Thank you, Daoist Zhou!"

Upon hearing this, Xun Houqing was overjoyed, bowing deeply.

For a True Pill Cultivator to accept a registered disciple, even normal Foundation Establishnt Cultivators couldn’t compare.

Zhou Xun’s words basically gave the Xun family’s descendants a chance to rise.

Even Lin Anshu beside him couldn’t help but show envy,

gritting his teeth, he bowed deeply again towards Zhou Xun,

"Patriarch Lin, what is this?" Zhou Xun inquired:

"Master Zhou, this is my son Youshan, his talent is acceptable, and I hope he can beco a disciple under the Master!"

Saying this, Lin Anshu gave a glance to his young son.

Lin Youshan, realizing this, quickly knelt and bowed, his voice carrying a slight tremble:

"Junior Lin Youshan has long admired the Master and hopes to stay at Wangchuan Lake, serving the Master!"

"Child, co here!" Zhou Xun beckoned gently towards Lin Youshan.

"Master!"

Lin Youshan obediently walked to Zhou Xun’s side, standing respectfully.

Zhou Xun then took out the Spirit Testing Disc and instructed Lin Youshan to place his hands on it.

"Wood Spirit Root, forty-four points!"

Seeing the result, Zhou Xun was a little taken aback.

Unexpectedly, this generation of the Lin Family produced so many talents.

First, there was Lin Xueying, and now Lin Youshan; both of them have High-Grade Spirit Roots.

To be honest, as a True Pill Cultivator, taking soone with forty-four points of High-Grade Spirit Root as his disciple was a bit reluctant.

But considering this person was Lin Xueying’s cousin, his qualifications were naturally sufficient.

"High-Grade Spirit Root, also a Wood Elent Spirit Root, is enough to enter my tutelage. Very well, today I will accept you as a Registered Disciple!"

Hearing this, Lin Youshan felt sowhat disappointed but soon ca to his senses.

He imdiately knelt and bowed his head three tis to Zhou Xun.

From this point, Zhou Xun gained another fourth disciple.

...

Soon, the day of the Core Formation celebration finally arrived; this year, Zhou Xun turned seventy.

Representatives from all major influences ca to Wangchuan Lake to offer their congratulations.

For this event, Weih Qiuxin arranged for a great hall to be built on Turtle Island, with a giant square occupying a thousand zhang in front of it.

All paved with Han White Marble.

Today’s Wangchuan Lake was livelier than ever.

Various escape lights, flying boat tower ships, and spirit beast mounts transford into five-colored spirit lights, descending toward Turtle Island.

Zhou Jingsong, Weih Qiuxin, and others acted as Guest Masters, responsible for guiding and receiving various influences.

Most of those coming to offer their congratulations were from the major cultivation families of Xui Country, primarily at the Foundation Establishnt Stage.

There were also so Qi Refining clans nearby who ca.

Zhou Xun sat in the main seat of the main hall, watching the escape lights constantly coming from afar, hearing respectful congratulatory voices from ti to ti:

"Red Leaf Square Lin Family, gift of a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit dicine, congratulations to Master Zhou on achieving the Great Path!"

"Hundred Treasures Pavilion Xui Country branch, gift of a Tier Three Material Fire Elent Crystal, congratulations to Master Zhou on eternal longevity!"

...

anwhile, a hundred li away,

a tower ship over a hundred zhang in size, adorned with carved beams and paintings, with a giant tower carved at the front, was slowly approaching.

Standing at the prow was a middle-aged man in a purple robe with a dignified deanor.

Beside him, Master Fengg Yuu was speaking respectfully about sothing.

"Master, ahead is Wangchuan Lake!"

"Truly a picturesque scene!"

"Xueying, your childhood friend certainly knows how to choose a place!"

Looking at the jade-like lake waters in the distance, Master Yun’an couldn’t help but feel refreshed, teasing Lin Xueying beside him.

"Uncle, you jest!"

Approaching Wangchuan Lake, Lin Xueying suddenly felt anxious.

"I will soon see Zhou Lang. Will he bla for the matter with the letter!"

She hadn’t completely let go of this matter.

Before long, as the tower ship approached the waters of Wangchuan Lake,

the massive tower ship instantly caught the attention of everyone, and observant individuals recognized which sect the ship belonged to.

"This is the tower ship of Cloud Light Sect!"

"I didn’t expect Cloud Light Sect to also co to offer congratulations. Haven’t they always strictly controlled the appearance of other True Pill cultivators in Xui Country?"

So guests sneered,

"Daoist He, mind your words, do you not want your life anymore!" His companion quickly covered his mouth.

At that mont, several loud voices rang out:

"Sect Leader of Cloud Light Sect, Master Yun’an has arrived!"

"Elders of Cloud Light Sect, Master Zong Yu, Master Fengg Yuu have arrived!"

"Young Sect Leader of Cloud Light Sect, Lin Xueying has arrived!"

The tower ship descended, and Master Yun’an, accompanied by Master Fengg Yuu, Master Zong Yu, Lin Xueying, and others, walked forward slowly.

"Sect Leader of Cloud Light Sect, I didn’t expect such a figure to personally co!"

"Three Masters and a Young Sect Leader, this kind of grand entrance, only Master Zhou would have it!"

"Indeed, Master Zhou has a High-Grade True Pill and will most likely cultivate to the Late-Stage Core Formation!"

Below, there was a buzz of discussion.

"Cloud Light Sect, a gift of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, congratulations to Master Zhou on achieving the Great Path!"

The status of the visitors was prestigious, Zhou Xun personally walked out of the main hall to greet them.

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, Master Yun’an was the first to salute with cupped fists:

"Master Zhou personally condensed a High-Grade True Pill, a great event for our Xui Country, Yun’an congratulates the Master on an ever-green immortal path!"

Lin Xueying and the others behind him all cupped their fists.

"The Sect Leader personally coming truly brings splendor to Wangchuan Lake!" Zhou Xun smiled and cupped his hands.

"Please, Masters and Xueying, be seated inside!"

Hearing Zhou Xun’s address, Lin Xueying instantly relaxed, her eyes full of excitent.

If not for the occasion, she would have almost thrown herself, hanging tightly on Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun naturally sensed Lin Xueying’s thoughts, discreetly giving her a look, and then led the group into the hall.

After Cloud Light Sect, the three major influences from Fengg Country dispatched representatives one after another, with each offering substantial gifts, each valued above a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

And this is the deterrent power of a High-Grade True Pill.
