Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal Chapter 95 - 25: Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist

Upon hearing the number three thousand, Fairy Mingyue’s expression changed several tis, but she ultimately gave up.

With a cold voice, she said:

"Daoist Zhou is indeed a High-Grade Alchemist, with wealthy assets. Mingyue admits her inferiority; this slot belongs to the Daoist!"

"Much obliged!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

He then took out three thousand Spirit Stones and handed them to the middle-aged man with the surna Feng.

After counting the Spirit Stones, they were accurate without error.

The middle-aged man with the surna Feng handed the blue token to Zhou Xun and advised:

"Daoist Zhou, the Spirit Pool will open in two months. At that ti, bring this token and head to Yunlu Hall to find the steward disciple!"

Zhou Xun nodded, accepted the token, and returned to his seat.

"Daoist Zhou, this Fairy Mingyue is said to have connections with many Foundation Establishnt elders. By offending her like this, is it not inappropriate?" Master Chuyun conveyed with so concern.

"Thank you for the reminder, Daoist. I simply won’t leave the city!" Zhou Xun was unconcerned.

Within White Cloud Immortal City, fighting is forbidden. He focused on cultivation, and even if a Foundation Establishnt cultivator caused trouble, he remained unafraid.

Moreover, he didn’t believe that soone with Foundation Establishnt cultivation would offend a promising young High-Grade Alchemist for a Feng Yuee woman.

The exchange eting ended, and everyone began sharing cultivation insights.

The Feng surna Foundation Establishnt cultivator also explained his insights and precautions for breaking through the Foundation Establishnt Stage, which were extrely valuable.

So, seeing this, raised their own cultivation questions.

The middle-aged man with the surna Feng cheerfully provided guidance.

Seeing this, everyone stepped forward to request guidance, and the middle-aged man with the surna Feng showed no signs of impatience, guiding each one individually.

In turn, Zhou Xun viewed this person with newfound respect.

This person was genuinely willing to support younger generations.

"I did not expect Elder Feng to possess such elder-like deanor!" Zhou Xun transmitted his admiration to Master Chuyun.

"Elder Feng was enthusiastic even before breaking through!" Master Chuyun nodded repeatedly.

So, Zhou Xun also stepped forward to seek guidance.

Everyone exchanged knowledge until late at night before returning.

...

In the Alchemy Room, Zhou Xun looked at the Alchemy Furnace in front of him, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

He was refining Tier Two Elixir, the Essence-Guiding Pill.

He purchased two sets of materials that day, intending to try refining.

In an attempt to advance to a Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist.

Unfortunately, the first batch failed, wasting materials worth six to seven hundred Spirit Stones.

Now, Zhou Xun had mastered the refining of over ten High-Grade Elixirs and could guarantee sufficient genuine pills.

However, upon reaching Tier Two, he still failed.

"The difficulty of refining Tier Two Elixirs is several tis higher!" Zhou Xun sighed.

Then he closed his eyes and recalled the mistakes made earlier.

After a brief mont, he adjusted his mindset.

He cleaned the Pill Furnace, took out the second batch of materials, and continued refining.

After several hours, a fragrant aroma of elixir filled the Cultivation Room.

The next mont, he lightly pointed with his finger, and a spell was cast.

The lid of the Pill Furnace opened automatically, and several pills flew out, landing in his palm.

Pop!

One pill exploded, splitting into two halves.

Another pill had several cracks on its surface, making it an inferior pill.

However, one was a genuine pill.

Two pills succeeded, one genuine, one inferior.

Considering the previous failed batch, it had yet to repay its cost.

Nevertheless, it was quite decent.

He extracted the essence from a few Low-Grade Spirit Grasses, strengthened the inferior pill into a genuine one, then placed the three pills into a Pill Bottle.

Next, he needed repeated refining to accumulate experience. With his talent, he would soon produce five genuine pills.

Now, he could be considered a Tier Two Low-Grade Alchemist.

After returning from the Spirit Pool, he could prepare for the elixir shop.

However, there was still an issue.

The alchemy inheritance Zhou Xun possessed was only at the Tier Two Low-Grade level.

He needed to find a way to obtain a higher-tier alchemy inheritance.

Otherwise, his alchemy skills would halt at Tier Two Low-Grade.

The following ti, Zhou Xun returned to his daily cultivation.

...

This day, Zhou Xun completed the cultivation of the Nourishing Essence Technique and thus took out the Gao Family’s Tier Three array inheritance.

He had two sets of unknown Array Plates in his possession.

He examined one array after another, soon finding the introductions to these two arrays.

"Vajra Array"

A Tier One Top-Grade Defense Array, its defense is astonishing, said to be invincible during the Qi Refining Stage; even an Early-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator requires several hours to break through,

Moreover, it prevents spying, silences, and conceals effectively.

It is an essential array for traveling outside.

However, the day he fought with the cold-faced middle-aged man in the stone hall, he used this Vajra Array, but Zhou Xun broke it with three High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

This made Zhou Xun sowhat doubt whether the array description was exaggerated.

Another set was the "Celestial Spirit Five Elents Array," obtained from the storage bag of that Foundation Establishnt cultivator.

This array is a Tier Two Middle-Grade Trapping and Killing Array, with both trapping and killing functions, extrely effective against cultivators using the Five Elents Technique, utilizing the Five Elents Theory, very difficult to deal with.

Even if a Late-Stage cultivator entered, they’d need several hours to extricate themselves.

"It’s truly a great array!"

With this array, when encountering Foundation Establishnt cultivators, he would have the confidence to face them head-on.

Pity the original owner of the array, yet died at the hands of Qi Refining Cultivator Zhou Xun.

Having understood the uses of these two arrays, Zhou Xun stored them in his Storage Bag.

Began studying the Gao Family’s array inheritance.

The Gao Family’s inheritance, was far more detailed than the Array Introduction given to him by Lin Xue’e.

Many unclear concepts were easily resolved.

"It seems it’s not that my array talent is lacking, but that the ’Array Introduction’ is too brief, difficult to advance!"

With this systematic array inheritance, Zhou Xun predicted that given another year, he could enter the Tier One Middle-Grade rank.

...

Ti flew by, and a month passed swiftly.

The Hundred Herbs Pavilion’s new batch of Spirit dicine had also arrived,

Zhou Xun donned the guise of an elderly man and went to purchase five batches of Essence-Guiding Pill materials.

In the end, he succeeded in producing twenty-three pills, combined with the previous, totaling twenty-five pills.

Then taking ten of them, Zhou Xun returned to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

Pill Treasure Pavilion offered a purchase price of three hundred twenty Spirit Stones per pill, resulting in three thousand two hundred Spirit Stones, though Zhou Xun soon spent them.

Exchanged them entirely for treasures needed to cultivate the Body Refining Technique to the Third Layer, a total of twenty taels of Illusion Spirit Sand, plus other supplentary materials.

A total of four thousand Spirit Stones, Zhou Xun even returned eight hundred.

Zhou Xun estimated that cultivating the Body Refining Technique to the Third Layer Perfection would require at least four thousand more Spirit Stones.

The path of Body Refinent consud resources frighteningly.

This also related to Zhou Xun’s Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique, powerful and impactful, the costs were naturally extraordinary.

Zhou Xun estimated that the resources he spent on cultivating to the Consecutive Third Layer could roughly train five Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

"If it wasn’t for this blasted ’Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique’ strengthening ridians, I would have stopped practicing it long ago!"

Zhou Xun lanted while formulating the materials into special ointnts for body refinent and stored them.

Then he resud his routine of cultivation, talisman making, alchemy, and array studies.

Soon, another month passed, and finally, the day for the opening of the White Cloud Spirit Pool arrived.
