The cave mansion of Master Tianci,

is now Zhou Xun’s cave mansion.

Zhou Xun arrived at what used to be Master Tianci’s bedroom, and then took out the Grand Elder Order,

mumbling incantations,

as the token glowed and emitted a purple light that struck the stone wall in front of him!

Instantly, what was once an utterly ordinary stone wall suddenly revealed a passage!

Zhou Xun swiftly stepped inside, and once he entered, the passage behind him automatically closed!

After walking for about thirty feet, the view opened up, revealing a stone chamber ahead,

inside which was a short distance teleportation array,

using the array, Zhou Xun once again stepped into the most core secret vault of Tianhan City.

This was a stone hall, roughly thirty feet in size, with the rock ceiling above embedded with numerous Luminous Pearls.

On both sides of the hall were wooden shelves filled with jade scrolls, all of which recorded rare secret techniques and methods from the Cultivation Realm, and even experiences and insights for breaking through to Nascent Soul,

below were various boxes, adorned with Sealing Spirit Talismans and names of the treasures inside.

Zhou Xun inspected each one.

"Refining Crystal!"

"Fire Element Essence Crystal!"

...

Finally stopping in front of a wooden box named "Spirit Void Divine Bamboo," which was the target of this trip.

"Spirit Void Divine Bamboo" was a Tier Four Top-Grade Spirit Wood, even considered extremely precious to Nascent Soul cultivators.

The most valuable aspect of this item was the void power it contained.

Magical treasures refined with this item had a possible chance of harnessing void power, which was extremely rare even among high-grade magical treasures.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators greatly coveted it.

For instance, the second "Thousand Faces" mask Zhou Xun once obtained was a treasure capable of wielding void power,

that old man on that day used that mask to possess the ability for instant teleportation with merely a Core Formation Stage cultivation.

It’s known that even Nascent Soul cultivators only have such abilities after the Nascent Soul Emergence.

It truly shows the preciousness of such a treasure.

The wooden box containing the "Spirit Void Divine Bamboo" was about three feet long,

with a wave of his hand, Zhou made the box fly up,

then Zhou tore off the Sealing Spirit Talisman on top, opened the lid, revealing a Spirit Bamboo quietly hovering inside,

and most astonishingly, this Spirit Bamboo sometimes gave off an illusory feel, as if it were just a phantom with its true form thousands of miles away,

and at other times, it felt extremely solid, ready to be picked up at any moment,

an illusionary yet real feel, remarkably unique!

At this sight, Zhou Xun was overjoyed!

"According to the scriptures, the surroundings of the Spirit Void Divine Bamboo are an interlude of reality and illusion, a dreamlike existence, exactly like the scene before me!"

Zhou Xun could confirm that this Spirit Bamboo before him was none other than the legendary "Spirit Void Divine Bamboo."

"If I refine my Cyan Emperor Seal with this bamboo, perhaps I could seize control of void power ahead of time!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but rejoice,

he closed the box again, re-attached the Sealing Spirit Talisman, and then placed it into his storage bag.

Next, Zhou Xun turned his gaze towards the massive light shield in front of him, seeing a silhouette within,

it was the remaining "Tier Four Human Puppet!"

Zhou Xun approached, retrieved the Grand Elder Order, and then emitted a spirit light upon it!

The token floated up, emitting a gentle beam of light upon the light shield, causing it to instantly open!

Revealing the final set of "Profound Celestial Spirit Armor."

"According to Daoist Brother Tianci, there are seven human puppets, each named after the Beidou Seven Stars, and if all were gathered, they could cooperate to combat enemies, demonstrating the mighty power of the Beidou Array!"

Master Tianci’s was ’Phecda’, and the one Zhou Xun took last time was ’Kaiyang’!

This remaining one is named ’Shaking Light’!"

With a wave of his hand, the Tier Four Human Puppet "Shaking Light" flew towards Zhou Xun.

Then, with a flick of his finger, a strand of Qi Force was emitted, securely holding ’Shaking Light’ in place before him.

’Kaiyang’ is now with the avatar, it’s convenient for the main body to take ’Shaking Light’, allowing both to possess potent means.

With the current mana strength of the avatar and main body, even if it can’t rival Nascent Soul cultivators in wielding the "Profound Celestial Spirit Armor," it shouldn’t fall too far short.

This makes him nearly invincible among Core Formation cultivators!

Putting ’Shaking Light’ into the Storage Bag, Zhou Xun retraced his steps and returned to the Cave Mansion.

...

On the other side, after visiting Zhou Xun, Xing Huai’an began to head back to Wangchuan Lake.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jingsong stayed in Tianhan City,

After all, Zhou Xun didn’t have a confidant here, so having him run errands for his master was excellent. Consequently, under Zhou Xun’s arrangement, he was appointed as the Treasure Vault Steward of Tianhan City.

Also, as the only disciple of Zhou Xun in Tianhan City, Zhou Jingsong had been enjoying boundless prestige these days.

Not to mention ordinary powers and families,

Even Master Xingyue, the Grand Elder of the Celestial Star Sect, humbled himself to invite Zhou Jingsong to a banquet,

Representing his master, Master Wangchuan, Zhou Jingsong naturally went without fear.

The banquet venue set by Master Xingyue was the premier restaurant in Tianhan City—the Celestial Banquet Tower!

And it was the Number One Heavenly Suite.

On this day, Zhou Jingsong dressed up and immediately left the Cave Mansion, reaching the Celestial Banquet Tower.

Just at the entrance, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe greeted him, possessing Fake Pill Cultivation!

"Are you Steward Zhou? I am Liu Wuyu, designated by my master, Master Xingyue, to specially await you here!"

The middle-aged man was extremely enthusiastic, faintly treating Zhou Jingsong with respect.

"Elder Xingyue is too courteous!"

With a smile, Zhou Jingsong cupped his hands before confidently walking ahead towards the sixth floor, representing Zhou Xun; he naturally couldn’t lose his composure.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, the middle-aged man personally opened the door for Zhou Jingsong, then gestured for him to enter. After Zhou Jingsong stepped inside, he closed the door behind him.

Once inside, Zhou Jingsong saw the people who sat at the front during the succession ceremony: Master Xingyue, Master Taifeng, Master Feng Ji, and Master Qianye.

"Junior Zhou Jingsong greets the elders!" Zhou Jingsong cupped his hands and said.

"Haha, Jingsong is here, please sit!"

Pointing to a seat to his right, it was the third seat.

That position was even higher than Master Feng Ji and Master Qianye,

"This... Junior humbly accepts!"

After scanning the room and seeing no change in expressions, Zhou Jingsong graciously took his seat.

"The elders personally invited me; Junior is overwhelmed!"

"I immediately felt a kindred spirit with Daoist Wangchuan, and you, being his personal disciple, are naturally like a nephew to me, deserving closer relations!"

Master Xingyue said smilingly.

Inviting Zhou Jingsong was naturally to show goodwill to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Jingsong, having founded a family, was now quite familiar with such negotiations, so he cupped his hands and said:

"I appreciate Elder Xingyue’s kindness; I shall report this personally to my master!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xingyue and the others exchanged satisfactory glances.

They proceeded to engage Zhou Jingsong in profound discussions on the Tao, sharing numerous core secrets of Cultivation,

The brocade-robed middle-aged man standing by also pricked up his ears, fearing to miss any information.

After eating and drinking well, they further presented gifts,

Among them were items like "Azure Sky Pill" and "Tier Three Talisman," the most precious being the "Crystal Condensing Pill" given by Master Xingyue.

After leaving, Zhou Jingsong immediately headed to Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion, coincidentally as Zhou Xun emerged from the Secret Vault, thus met his disciple.

Zhou Jingsong immediately reported Master Xingyue’s invitation, including the generous gifts they gave, presenting all for Zhou Xun’s review.

"Azure Sky Pill," "Tier Three Talisman,"

"Oh, there’s even a Crystal Condensing Pill!"

"This trip was worth it!"

"All thanks to master’s prestige!" Zhou Jingsong said.

"Indeed, you saved me a Crystal Condensing Pill; keep it!" Zhou Xun instructed, then pondered:

They offered such generous gifts, it seems they wish to befriend Tianhan City!

But this is good, saving me the trouble of dealing with them.

Nowadays, he no longer harbors thoughts of conflicts in the Eastern Wilderness, only wishes to swiftly reach Peak Core Formation.

Then he turned his gaze to Zhou Jingsong, giving another task:

"Here’s a list, gather these for me!" Saying this, he took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to Zhou Jingsong.

Inside were auxiliary materials for Refining the Cyan Emperor Seal,

Now that he’s gathered all five Spirit Woods, it’s time to start crafting his Lifebound Magical Treasure!
