Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 322 - 70: Spirit Root Sensitivity Reaches 64 Points!

Returning to Wangchuan Lake, Zhou Xun didn’t continue to condense further.

It’s not that he didn’t want to, but he couldn’t.

Firstly, after a year of condensation, the celestial thunder power in the Thunder Pool had significantly diminished. Continuing might affect the nurturing of his existing Thunder Seed, which was obviously not worthwhile.

Secondly, Zhou Xun’s transformation into divine sense had been greatly taxing, requiring a period of recuperation to avoid disrupting his cultivation. Moreover, damage to the divine sense could seriously impact his strength.

"Fortunately, there aren’t any major issues at the mont, delaying a bit shouldn’t matter!"

...

Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun’s true form and avatar sat facing each other, both bare-chested.

His true form was covered in spirit ointnt refined from high-tier spirit ore.

This was all acquired from Xing Huai’an’s storage bag back in the day, enough for him to cultivate his Body Refining Technique to the Seventh Layer.

Activating the spell, strands of spirit ore power were extracted from the spirit ointnt, continuously perating through Zhou Xun’s body surface and into his flesh.

Finally, it rged into Zhou Xun’s physical body.

During this process, Zhou Xun’s body was continuously tempered, becoming increasingly sturdy.

anwhile, his avatar, eyes shut, wore a pained expression.

Threads of thunder arc traversed his body surface, penetrating within.

This gave his entire body a faint purple hue.

This was precisely the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique in the Purple Sky Thunder Technique!

Back when Zhou Xun had yet to refine Feng Wuji into his avatar, he had already cultivated this Body Refining Secret Technique to the Sixth Layer Perfection.

However, constrained by his cultivation still being at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, he couldn’t advance further.

Now, with the Purple Sky Thunder Technique cultivated to the Fourth Layer, his Body Refining Technique could naturally improve further.

The thunder forging of the Fourth Layer Purple Sky Thunder Technique indeed caused Zhou Xun considerable pain.

Zhou Xun had already controlled the thunder arc to its finest degree, yet the process of the thunder burning through flesh and marrow, then being constantly reborn under the nourishnt of the Body Refining Technique’s spiritual power, was excruciating.

In this continual cycle of death and rebirth, the avatar’s physical strength grew ever stronger.

Half a day later, both the true form and avatar concluded their practices.

The daily body refining was complete.

Then, the true form retrieved the magical treasure pill furnace of Master White Cloud, a few Tier Two High-Grade spirit grasses, and a small stack of Dragon Spirit Wood Charcoal.

With a wave of his hand!

Whoosh!

The spirit charcoal ignited instantly, a wave of spiritual fire enveloping the pill furnace.

Subsequently, one spirit dicine after another flew into the pill furnace, starting the refinent and then rging the refined dicinal liquid into one,

formulating the spirit pill!

Several hours later, the aroma of the dicine perated the entire cultivation room, imdiately followed by the opening of the pill furnace, with three milky white elixirs falling into Zhou Xun’s palm.

Tier Two High-Grade Wood Elent Pill, three authentic pills succeeded!

...

On the other side, the avatar took out a stack of talisman paper, picked up the talisman pen, lightly dipping it in spirit ink, focusing the mind.

With full concentration, he began to draw on the talisman paper.

The pen moved like dragons and snakes, completing in one continuous motion!

A Tier Two High-Grade Wood Blade Talisman was crafted,

then Zhou Xun cast a stream of spirit light onto the talisman,

"Buzz!"

The talisman, originally emitting a faint glow, instantly went silent, with all spiritual power locked within it.

Waiting for the mont its master would activate it.

Thus, this Tier Two High-Grade Wood Blade Talisman was completed!

In the days that followed, Zhou Xun engaged daily in cultivation, talisman making, alchemy, body refining, studying the path of puppetry...

...

Unknowingly, half a year passed by in a flash.

This year, Zhou Xun turned seventy-one.

The progress in his true form’s cultivation was normal; currently, the liquid mana in his dantian had already reached one hundred and forty-six drops, the progress in the Eighth Layer of Foundation Establishnt was more than halfway,

needing only thirteen more drops of liquid mana to reach the Peak of the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishnt.

"I suppose my breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishnt is just a matter of a few years!"

Aside from talisman-making techniques, the other Cultivation Hundred Skills were also steadily advancing, and with the avatar also pondering over them, Zhou Xun’s progress accelerated considerably.

Of all, his highest skill was the alchemy technique; in a decade of extensive practice with high-tier spiritual dicines, his skill progressed rapidly, now only a sliver away from Tier Two High-Grade Perfection.

According to Zhou Xun’s estimation, it should take another five to six years to break through to the Tier Three Low-Grade, at which point he could be dubbed an Alchemy Master.

Additionally, Zhou Xun’s progress in the Body Refining Technique, with over half the progress made by the true form, should reach the Sixth Layer Peak in three years. Considering the Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique’s peculiarity, his physical strength should approach that of a Tier Three Great Demon.

Perhaps with only the physical body, he could contend with an ordinary Fake Pill Cultivator.

As for the avatar, it originally reached the Sixth Layer Peak.

Yet, under the tempering of True Pill Level thunder power, it now showed signs of further advancent, currently in a stage of thick accumulation awaiting breakthrough, ready to leap to the Seventh Layer upon sufficient accumulation.

At that ti, the avatar’s physical strength wouldn’t be inferior to a regular Tier Three Low-Grade Great Demon and could rival True Pill Cultivators!

...

On this day, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, eyes closed, fully engaging the Spirit Wood True Technique.

Strands of spiritual qi entered through Zhou Xun’s body surface into his ridians.

Then, following the circulation path of the Spirit Wood True Technique, it completed a grand circulation before converging into the dantian, rging with the one hundred forty-sixth drop of liquid mana, making this mana drop more solidified.

Beside him,

his transformation summoned that very Lifebound Spirit Plant—the Purple Orchid.

A few months ago, this Purple Orchid had already reached the Tier Three Top-Grade Ultimate.

Zhou Xun, during this period, consud several Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit dicines, but the Purple Orchid still did not break through.

Today, Zhou Xun planned to use a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit dicine Essence to help it ascend to a Tier Four Spirit dicine.

Only to see Zhou Xun pat his waist storage bag, a ray of Spirit Light flew out and landed in front of him.

It was a foot-long wooden box, with a Tier Two Top-Grade Sealing Spirit Talisman still stuck on its surface.

He tore off the Sealing Spirit Talisman, opened the lid, and a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Condensing Grass appeared in his view.

The mont the box opened, all the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Room converged towards the Spirit Condensing Grass, and before long, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the room increased significantly.

However, even with such a Spirit dicine, Zhou Xun showed no reluctance and unhesitantly recited the Spring Condensation Scripture’s incantation.

Soon, a green light dot floated out from the Spirit Condensing Grass.

Under the control of the transformation, it approached the Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Purple Orchid.

The mont the green light dot touched the Purple Orchid, it rged in, and then the entire Purple Orchid emitted a verdant light, almost overshadowing the original purple.

At this mont, the Purple Orchid suddenly beca extrely vibrant, visibly beginning to grow, exuding even more Spirit Charm.

The entire Spirit Plant appeared like Purple Jade, crystal clear, emitting waves of Spirit Charm, extraordinarily remarkable.

Having dealt with Spirit dicines for many years, how could Zhou Xun not know that this Purple Orchid had advanced.

It successfully ascended to Tier Four Low-Grade!

This is a Fourth Realm Spirit dicine, which has a considerable effect on a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and is worthy of being called a treasure.

If it were put up for auction, it might attract True Pill Cultivators from all over the Eastern Wilderness to scramble for it.

And yet such a Spiritual Object, Zhou Xun took only three years to cultivate using Tier Three High-Grade Spirit dicine.

"If I made a living cultivating Spirit Plants, I might accumulate astonishing wealth!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself.

Then he looked at the Spirit dicine in front of him, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"A Tier Four Spirit dicine, truly extraordinary, just a glance, and it feels so full of Spirit Charm, who knows how much it could enhance my Spirit Root!"

Although Spiritual Objects are rare, they ultimately serve people.

Besides, it’s better to act sooner rather than later, and now is the perfect ti!

Without making any extra moves, Zhou Xun directly perford the Spring Condensation Scripture’s incantation and then pointed at the Purple Orchid in front of him.

Instantly the surrounding Primordial Qi was attracted, converging from all directions.

Suddenly, the Purple Orchid rose up miraculously, becoming more vibrant, with its Purple Jade-like leaves emitting faint glows.

As the final chant finished, an invisible force rose out of nowhere, enveloping the Purple Orchid.

As ti ticked by, the glow on the Purple Orchid intensified, seemingly continuously gathering essence.

Soon, a thumb-sized green light orb flew out.

Brighter than any before!

Tier Four Spirit dicine Essence!

This was the first ti he had extracted it!

Carefully controlling the light orb, he led it towards his own body.

Subsequently, Zhou Xun felt himself enveloped by a familiar warmth, then a sense of exuberant elevation washed over him.

At this mont, a strong suction erged from his Dantian.

"Just as I expected, the Tier Four Spirit dicine Essence indeed stimulates Mana enhancent!" Zhou Xun exhibited a ’just as expected’ expression.

In the past, whenever Zhou Xun absorbed higher-tier Spirit dicine Essence, it would more or less stimulate Mana enhancent, and this ti was no exception.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun was well-prepared, and he unhesitatingly operated the Spell of the Spirit Wood True Technique.

In no ti, the Spiritual Qi from around the Cultivation Room gathered rapidly, penetrating through Zhou Xun’s body, infusing inside.

Along the ridians, following the path of the Spirit Wood True Technique, completing a Grand Circulation, finally transforming into refined Mana, rging into the Mana Drops within the Dantian.

"One hundred and forty-six drops!"

"One hundred and forty-seven drops!"

...

After a long while, all the Spiritual Qi returned to calm, and the Mana within Zhou Xun ceased growing, as if everything was an illusion.

Yet the small tuft of remaining ashes from the Purple Orchid before him proved that it all truly happened.

Thus Zhou Xun inspected within his Dantian.

A hundred fifty-nine drops of liquid Mana hung in the Dantian, shimring with brilliance!

In just a few hours, Zhou Xun’s cultivation was elevated to the Peak of Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishnt, saving him several years’ worth of ti.

"Unexpectedly, this Tier Four Spirit dicine is so potent; it seems my ti to reach Foundation Establishnt Peak is again accelerated!"

Considering Zhou Xun’s current age of seventy-one, estimating that his main body could reach the Foundation Establishnt Peak and challenge Core Formation slightly over eighty.

"Looks like it won’t take long before I catch up with the progress of my transformation!"

Who would have thought, soone who was once a re Loose Cultivator could achieve such accomplishnts today?

Muttering to himself, Zhou Xun slapped his waist storage bag, a ray of Spirit Light flew out, falling before him, transforming into a foot-long disc.

It was none other than the Spirit Testing Disc!

He wanted to test how many points in Spirit Root Sensitivity this Tier Four Spirit dicine had enhanced for him.

Seeing Zhou Xun place his hands on the Spirit Testing Disc and then stimulate it with a spell.

A flash of light passed, and Zhou Xun looked into the Spirit Testing Disc, smiling slightly:

"Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity, sixty-four points!"
