Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 83 - 13: Spirit Root Sensitivity 30

Another half hour passed in the auction, and it finally reached Zhou Xun’s target.

"Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit dicine—Yuan Condensing Grass"

"The next auction item is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit dicine, Yuan Condensing Grass. It is the main dicine for the Tier Two Spiritual Pill, Yuan Condensing Pill, with a starting price of 1200 spirit stones!"

The Yuan Condensing Pill can assist Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in cultivating the Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir, so it naturally drew a lot of attention.

However, to obtain this spirit dicine, one would need to hire a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist.

"1200 spirit stones!" Zhou Xun was the first to bid.

"1300 spirit stones!" At this mont, an elderly man with greying hair, appearing over sixty years old, followed up with a bid.

"1350 spirit stones!" shouted another middle-aged man with a rounded face.

Both of these people were Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, and acquiring this spirit dicine surely ant they intended to refine it into a pill.

"1500 spirit stones!" Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun continued to bid.

He was really unwilling to let go of this spirit dicine just like that.

Moreover, a High-Grade Alchemist’s status was equivalent to half that of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. Additionally, due to his youth, ordinary Foundation Establishnt Cultivators would give him so face.

"Young man, you’re rely at the Sixth-Layer Qi Refining. Why compete against us old folks for this spirit dicine?" At this point, the elderly man looked towards Zhou Xun’s side, speaking with a smile.

Seeing this, Patriarch Song quickly chid in:

"Elder Hu, Alchemist Zhou is a High-Grade Alchemist. Purchasing this spirit dicine is surely related to advancing to Tier Two Alchemist; please do not be offended!"

"For such a young person to be a High-Grade Alchemist, I am truly impressed. May I ask under which Alchemy Master you study?" The old man, hearing this, softened his tone considerably.

In his view, Zhou Xun, as a High-Grade Alchemist, naturally had no use for such spirit grass. His bidding obviously represented a Tier Two Alchemist behind him.

"My master does not allow us disciples to use his na outside; I hope Elder can forgive for this!" Zhou Xun clasped his hands towards the elder, neither humble nor arrogant.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll let the young friend have this spirit dicine. You may visit my Hidden Jade Mountain at your convenience in the future!" the old man said with a cheerful smile.

The Hu family of Hidden Jade Mountain was equally a Foundation Establishnt Clan, having two Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, both at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt.

"Thank you, Elder, for yielding!"

Thereupon, Zhou Xun successfully acquired the Tier Two Middle-Grade Yuan Condensing Grass for fifteen hundred spirit stones.

After the Yuan Condensing Grass, there were refined Yuan Condensing Pills for auction, so the elder naturally wouldn’t compete too fiercely with Zhou Xun.

Considering that behind a young High-Grade Alchemist, there would at least be a Tier Two Low-Grade, if not a Tier Two Middle-Grade Alchemist.

Such individuals were not ones the Hu family could afford to offend.

For the remainder of the auction, Zhou Xun did not make any more bids.

After all, he had already spent over a thousand spirit stones; to continue bidding would draw too much attention.

As the auction went on, the treasures beca increasingly precious, and those competing for them were increasingly Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.

This opened Zhou Xun’s eyes to new experiences.

Especially the final Foundation Establishnt Pill, for which the competition was particularly intense.

Finally, Patriarch Song managed to acquire it for a high price of six thousand three hundred spirit stones.

The other families could afford it, but first, purchasing a Foundation Establishnt Pill ans needing to transport it back, a long journey full of risks.

Secondly, six thousand three hundred spirit stones exceeded the usual price for a Foundation Establishnt Pill, making it an unworthy investnt.

But the Song family was different. With Qingyue Square being the most prosperous market in the Eastern Domain of Xui Country, the family was naturally quite wealthy.

Currently, they only had one Foundation Establishnt Cultivator. If it weren’t for the background of that Daoist aunt, the Song family would have been devoured long ago.

Buying this Foundation Establishnt Pill at this ti might allow the family to add another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.

Thus, spending a bit more spirit stones was not a concern, and besides, since it was situated right at the Song family’s stronghold, the Pill could be consud imdiately to start the Foundation Establishnt process.

For several reasons, the Song family acquired the Foundation Establishnt Pill.

After the auction ended, Zhou Xun, accompanied by two disciples, returned to Danhai Pavilion.

Currently, Shi Wanying, being very young, was still unable to control the Alchemy Furnace.

Therefore, she could only follow along to learn so theoretical knowledge or handle the spirit dicines simply.

Having given all necessary instructions, Zhou Xun returned to his cave mansion.

His current Spirit Root Sensitivity had reached twenty-eight points.

Based on his previous experience with the Lanling Lantern Grass, Zhou Xun estimated that this ti he could increase Sensitivity by two points.

Zhou Xun entered the Quiet Chamber, skillfully running the Spring Condensation Scripture, extracting the essence of the Yuan Condensing Grass.

Then he rged it with himself.

The feeling of sublimation appeared once again, followed by the automatic operation of the cultivation technique.

However, the degree wasn’t as obvious as when absorbing the essence of the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower.

After everything concluded, Zhou Xun sensed that he was only halfway to the Peak of Sixth-Layer Qi Refining.

This absorption of essence at least saved him two years of arduous cultivation.

Simultaneously, he took out a half-human high, sun-dial-shaped Spirit Testing Spiritual Artifact, the Spirit Testing Disc.

Zhou Xun procured it specifically to test Spirit Root Sensitivity.

It cost him nearly a hundred spirit stones.

Placing both hands on the Spirit Testing Disc, he then injected a thread of mana.

Quickly the result appeared.

Sure enough, the Spirit Root Sensitivity had reached 30 points.

"In at most two years, I will reach the Peak of Sixth-Layer Qi Refining!"

"Then, with the consumption of that Spirit Gathering Pill exceeding the Premium Level, I will surely reach the Seventh-Layer of Qi Refining in one fell swoop!"

By that ti, Zhou Xun would be just thirty years old.

A late-stage Qi cultivator at thirty would undeniably be considered a Foundation Establishnt seed in any family.

However, once reaching the late-stage Qi Refining, it would be ti for him to leave Qingyue Square.

Reaching the late-stage Qi Refining, he also needed to start preparing for his Foundation Establishnt.

Stay in Qingyue Square, and there would be no opportunity for Foundation Establishnt.

It should be known that even the local landlord Song family only had the opportunity to purchase a Foundation Establishnt Pill due to this Hundred Treasures Pavilion auction.

Walking out of the Quiet Chamber, Zhou Xun felt refreshed.

The Profound Armor Armadillo crawled to Zhou Xun’s feet and rubbed against him.

The armadillo had grown to half human size, becoming a Tier One Middle-Grade Demon Beast.

The speed of its advancent was quite astonishing.

Even those high-grade bloodline demon beasts ntioned in the Beast Taming Scripture couldn’t compare in the slightest.

Such speed could only be achievable by an earth-grade bloodline.

"Could the essence fused last ti actually have created an earth-grade bloodline!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

He had absorbed nurous precious spirit dicines, barely reaching the mid-level of Middle-Grade Spiritual Root.

And yet, this creature, with rely a Tier One High-Grade Spirit dicine, reached earth-grade.

Fortunately, the beast was his spirit beast; its strength also represented his own combat power.

Zhou Xun had read in scriptures that in surrounding cultivation countries, there were sects focused entirely on beast taming.

The cultivators there neither practiced Daoist techniques nor used magical artifacts, relying entirely on their spirit beasts for combat strength.

Even their cultivation levels were linked to their spirit beasts. The stronger the spirit beast, the more it would feedback to the cultivator, enhancing their cultivation.

It’s truly remarkable.

The following days went back to being peaceful.

Cultivation, alchemy, talisman making, body refinent, array study, divination, spirit beast care, and spirit grass tending.

Regular and mundane.

On this day, Zhou Xun was drawing talismans inside the cave mansion.

Currently, his talisman Dao capabilities had reached the peak of Middle-Grade, allowing him to start trying to refine High-Grade Talismans.
