Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 578 - 187: Earth-Shaking Gains

After reaching Tier Four, demon beasts can transform into human form,

and, like human Qi refiners, they can cultivate techniques and refine magical treasures, hence they are also known as demon cultivators.

The storage bag under this demon’s fin is the best proof of its demon cultivator identity.

Zhou Xun beckoned with his hand,

and the storage bag floated into his hand,

the style and refining techniques of this bag were similar to those of the human race, though it’s unclear where it was obtained,

he hung it on his waist,

then pointed at the giant carcass,

"Daoist Brother, can this demon corpse be used to refine a high-grade magical treasure?"

Zhou Xun asked curiously.

True Monarch Iron Mountain, as a Tier Four refiner, had the most authority to speak.

He circled the demon shark several tis, shaking his head,

"This demon beast hide, if used, could possibly be refined into several sets of spirit armor, but it still requires adding several rare Tier Four spirit materials!"

"This fish fin is rather excellent material, though unfortunately, it has already been refined into a spirit sword by this demon!"

Looking at the hundred fish fin swords scattered on the ground, True Monarch Iron Mountain sighed.

"This set of swords, a hundred in total, is quite rare, not inferior to ordinary high-grade magical treasures, it doesn’t need my intervention!"

"A little refinent, and they can be used directly!"

Zhou Xun nodded, waved his hand, and collected both the carcass and the fish fin swords,

"Many thanks to Daoist Brother for clarifying,"

"Now that the demon beasts have retreated, they likely won’t attack again shortly, and as there are signs of demon beasts on Celestial Talisman Island, to prevent any mishaps, I won’t linger longer!"

"I’ll co to chat with Daoist Brother again when I have ti!"

"Very well, thank you for your help today, brother. I sincerely thank you here!"

"If there’s a change on Celestial Talisman Island after you return, feel free to send a ssage!"

True Monarch Iron Mountain cupped his hands,

"Daoist Brother is too kind, farewell!"

Thus saying, he soared into the sky, heading toward Celestial Talisman Island!

Now,

from when Zhou Xun appeared to kill the Hundred-Winged Demon Emperor to his departure, only half an hour had passed.

...

When he returned to Celestial Talisman Island, two hours had already passed.

At this ti on Celestial Talisman Island, defenses were tightly enforced, with the Earth Elent Beast and Master Qianfu, Cao Feiyu, patrolling within a thousand miles of the island,

suddenly spotting Zhou Xun’s returning figure with joy.

"Greetings, Daoist Brother!"

Cao Feiyu bowed in salute!

"No need for formalities, how is Celestial Talisman Island?" Zhou Xun waved his hand, inquiring.

"Since Daoist Brother left, two more waves of beast tides attacked, led by Tier Three Low-Grade Great Demons,"

"With Daoist Feng’s help, we successfully slew them!"

"The harvest is quite substantial!"

Cao Feiyu said joyfully.

The carcasses of these demon beasts, their blood is excellent material for talisman ink, and the hides can be refined into talisman paper,

thus significantly replenishing the Celestial Talisman Sect’s treasure vault.

For the next few years, their practice in talisman making won’t be hindered by material shortages.

"That’s good!"

Soon, Zhou Xun and Cao Feiyu returned to the island,

the Earth Elent Beast also returned upon hearing the news,

seeing Wenn Yue and others with joyous expressions, Zhou Xun knew their harvest was fruitful.

From another perspective, this beast tide was also an opportunity.

"Big Brother, how is the situation on Ringless Island?" Li Daniu asked.

"The siege on Ringless Island has been lifted, Iron Mountain and I jointly slew a Tier Four Demon Emperor, temporarily,"

"the Sea Race likely can’t organize a second wave of attacks, we are safe for now!"

Hearing Zhou Xun had slain a Tier Four Demon Emperor, the crowd was greatly shocked.

One must know, this is equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator,

and Tier Four demon beasts, due to their strong physiques, are often slightly stronger than human cultivators of the sa rank.

Such an existence had actually fallen to Zhou Xun,

it seems this Big Brother’s strength is above the rest.

As for the Earth Elent Beast, it was not surprised at all, having followed Zhou Xun for many years, it knew its master’s true strength,

surpassing ranks in battle was quite normal.

"As long as you know, I tell you this to reassure you all!"

"However, patrols cannot be lax, they must continue daily!"

Zhou Xun glanced over the crowd, then admonished.

"Yes!"

The crowd was delighted, nodding in agreent,

the tense atmosphere due to the great battle instantly dissolved.

Then, without chatting, Zhou Xun returned to his cave mansion.

Upon opening the door, a tiny five-inch dark blue spirit butterfly fluttered over, landing on Zhou Xun’s shoulder,

affectionately rubbing against his collar.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun patted the storage bag, taking out a jade bottle about an inch in size, containing Tier Three Spirit Liquid,

which Zhou Xun specifically had soone purchase.

Removing the cork, he gently poured out a bean-sized drop into his palm,

the Phoenix Butterfly imdiately conveyed a sense of joy, flapping down into Zhou Xun’s hand, greedily sucking the spirit liquid,

in just a mont, it had absorbed it all,

"Go!"

With a gentle motion of his hand, the spirit butterfly flew back to its nest above the spiritual spring.

"After digesting this bottle of Tier Three Spirit Liquid, it might advance to Tier Three!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself.

He then withdrew a storage bag, placing it on the table,

it was the one belonging to the Hundred-Winged Demon Emperor,

with a flick of his finger, a beam of spirit light struck it, and a large pile of treasures appeared in the hall.

Zhou Xun began tallying,

the largest quantity was various spirit materials, the most precious being two pieces of Tier Four Middle-Grade Black Profound tal,

judging by the weight, they were at least seven or eight catties heavy,

"With these two items, this trip was worthwhile!"

Zhou Xun joyfully said, continuing to inspect,

"Oh, what’s this..."

Zhou Xun opened a wooden box, an extrely pure spiritual Qi emanated from it, seeming to accelerate the mana flow in his ridians.

Inside were seven egg-sized, crystal-clear jades, with spirit charm swirling over the surface,

surrounded by spiritual Qi dense enough to almost turn into mist,

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Zhou Xun suddenly recalled,

these were truly rare finds, seven of them in total, a remarkable discovery!

It’s said that while high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged at a rate of one for a hundred, top-grade spirit stones are different.

Using top-grade spirit stones to recover mana is several tis faster than taking Qi Recovery Pills,

what’s more fascinating is that top-grade spirit stones are like mobile spiritual Qi reservoirs!

And the spiritual Qi contained within a single top-grade spirit stone is enough for an ordinary early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator,

"It’s quite unexpected to find seven such stones here, truly a trip worth taking!"

"What’s more, with these, this journey wasn’t in vain!"

Imdiately, Zhou Xun closed the wooden box and placed it safely in his storage bag.
