Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 281 - 29: Earth-Shattering Gains!
This time, during the refining process, Zhou Xun took out the Small Banner in advance and summoned the Cyan Ape.
Upon seeing the four Fake Pill corpses on the ground, the Cyan Ape was overjoyed.
Gently tapping its nose a few times, it was about to absorb the residual souls from the corpses.
A gray glow covered Hu Shan’s corpse, and a figure was absorbed into the ape’s nose unobstructed.
After consuming the first one, the Cyan Ape attempted to absorb the second one in the same manner.
Zhou Xun hurriedly stopped it.
The Blood Demon Child’s refining took a long time. Without any residual souls in the body, the physical form might decay too quickly, possibly leading to a failure in the refinement.
Seeing this, the Cyan Ape reluctantly waited on the side.
It then patted its mouth and yawned, transforming into a streak of Cyan Light and returned to the Small Banner.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun chuckled and shook his head, focusing his gaze on Hu Shan’s corpse.
Following the procedure from the last refinement.
Zhou Xun exerted strength to force out a drop of Essence Blood.
He directed it toward Hu Shan’s corpse.
The Essence Blood transformed into a peculiar Blood Talisman and landed between Hu Shan’s eyebrows.
It then slowly merged in, and soon a faint blood glow emanated from Hu Shan’s body.
Half a day later, a faint connection formed with the corpse. At this point, the Blood Demon Child had been mostly refined, and the next step was corpse nurturing.
However, Zhou Xun did not continue but started refining the next one.
He planned to wait until all four Blood Demon Children were successfully refined before moving them all together to the Corpse Nurturing Land for the final step.
The subsequent process went very smoothly.
Two days later, a streak of Cyan Light flew up from Lake Heart Island and then swiftly headed west.
Upon arriving at the previous Corpse Nurturing Land, Zhou Xun formed a hand seal with one hand, striking at the void with Spirit Light.
A Concealment Array appeared in sight.
Zhou Xun immediately walked inside, and a surge of Yin Qi instantly enveloped him.
With a thought, a cyan-colored light shield automatically rose from Zhou Xun’s body, blocking out the Yin Qi.
At the site where the corpses were previously buried, the surface of one Blood Demon Child had already started to change, with a hint of black lines appearing on its face.
Zhou Xun, following the same method, dug four more pits here to place the four successfully refined Blood Demon Children.
Instantly, Yin Qi enveloped the four refined corpses, while simultaneously, the moonlight from above was absorbed by them.
After hiding the array, he left the site.
...
Returning to Lake Heart Island, Zhou Xun finally had the leisure to tally his gains.
This time, he had eliminated all infiltrating cultivators of the Celestial Feather Sect, including four Fake Pill Cultivators and over thirty Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
The last time he defeated the team led by Master Long He, he had reaped over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Although it was because Master Long He acted solo, resulting in bigger gains, this time Hu Shan and his men had breached one of the two major Cultivation Families in Xui Country, the Sunx Family.
With the Sunx Family’s foundation and accumulation, even without their family’s patriarch, the gain would be at least a hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
If it were the Red Leaf Square Lin Family type of family, possessing treasures beyond their own level, the gain might be even higher.
Now, all these treasures have fallen into his hands.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help showing an expectant expression.
Firstly, Zhou Xun took out Fengg Wuji’s Storage Bag.
As a direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect, combined with his own extraordinary strength,
his Storage Bag was most likely the most valuable among everyone.
Upon opening it, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be stunned.
Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones, twelve Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Medicines, four Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Medicines, and even one Tier Three Middle-Grade Cyan Jade Ginseng.
Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine could already be nurtured to Tier Three Top-Grade, which could enhance Zhou Xun’s Spirit Root Talent.
In essence, the presence of this spirit medicine alone fulfilled his expectations of Fengg Wuji’s Storage Bag.
But this was just the beginning.
Continuing to look further.
Nine Tier Three Low-Grade Talismans, four Defense Talismans, and five Attack Talismans.
Even a Tier Three Middle-Grade Defense Talisman was included.
As for Quasi-Third Tier Talismans, there was not a single one.
This was understandable, though, as Fengg Wuji’s Divine Techniques already exceeded those of average Fake Pill Cultivators, making such talismans naturally negligible to him.
"Heaven-Escaping Talisman!"
Suddenly, a familiar-looking blue shining Talisman appeared before Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun’s face was filled with joy.
The power of his original Heaven-Escaping Talisman had been greatly exhausted, and this one came as the perfect supplement.
Nurtured to Great Success Heaven-Escaping Talisman.
With his current Mana Strength activating it,
Zhou Xun estimated its speed to be no less than that of an average Peak of Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.
At that moment, a three-inch Jade Box caught Zhou Xun’s attention.
So he took it out, removed the Sealing Spirit Talisman, and slowly opened it.
Instantly, a fragrance of medicine wafted into his nose.
Simultaneously, Zhou Xun felt a faint growth in his Mana and Divine Sense.
"Crystal Condensing Pill!"
Looking at the translucent pill, with a mysterious aura surrounding its surface.
The second Crystal Condensing Pill!
Unexpectedly, in Fengg Wuji’s Storage Bag, he obtained another Crystal Condensing Pill.
It seemed this was prepared for his breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage.
As a cultivator with the ultimate Earth Spirit Root and a direct disciple of the Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect, possessing a Crystal Condensing Pill was quite normal.
However, Zhou Xun didn’t expect him to have it on him.
Generally speaking, when executing such dangerous missions of infiltrating enemy countries, most cultivators only bring some life-saving items and handy magical artifacts or treasures.
The rest of their wealth is stored at the rear of the Celestial Feather Sect so that in case of misfortune, it can be left for their family.
Like the Master Long He killed earlier, except for some magical treasures, talismans, elixirs, and other items, the rest of his wealth was all looted.
But recalling Fengg Wuji’s life experiences.
He came from a mortal background, his original parents long exhausted their lifespan and died, leaving no relatives other than his master.
Being so alone, he naturally wouldn’t leave his treasures at the rear.
If he truly encountered misfortune, wouldn’t it just conveniently benefit others?
Moreover, he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak, just short of gathering the Golden Core foundation, ready to break through at any time.
Thinking this way, carrying the Crystal Condensing Pill should indeed be expected.
"Now, it benefits me!"
With this Crystal Condensing Pill, Zhou Xun need not worry about the core formation spiritual object for his incarnation.
Continuing to tally, some rare materials and ores of quasi-third tier or above, and over two thousand middle-grade spirit stones were found.
Then there were no more other treasures.
In terms of quantity, Fengg Wuji’s storage bag, though few, each item was premium.
Tier Two Spirit Medicines and Tier Two Materials were nowhere to be seen in Zhou Xun’s sight.
Next, Zhou Xun began to tally the storage bags of those few Fake Pill cultivators.
Among them were seventeen quasi-third tier spirit medicines, and even hundreds of tier two spirit medicines.
Obviously, these were spoils from their battles in Xui Country.
A total of eight Tier Three Low-Grade Talismans, three defense and five attack, together still not matching the haul of one Fengg Wuji.
As for quasi-third tier talismans, there were many, totaling forty-four.
Various healing and Qi rejuvenating elixirs in six or seven bottles, and more than thirty types of Tier Three Materials.
In addition, there were large amounts of low-tier materials, spirit medicines, magical artifacts, and heaps of spirit stones,
together valued over seven hundred thousand spirit stones.
By proportion, it doesn’t match the harvest of Master Long He.
After all, these four teams often acted together, making them a bigger target, and often faced pursuit from the Cloud Light Sect.
Thus, their number of actions couldn’t compare to Master Long He.
Considering it this way, it’s understandable that the harvest was slightly less.
As for the more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators, a total of about 250,000 spirit stones worth of treasures was harvested.
After this battle, the gain exceeded a million!
Such wealth, even a Middle-Stage Core Formation cultivator, is only so.
"Families of Xui Country exterminated, totaling sixteen, now, their hundreds of years of accumulation, all fell into my hands!"
Next, Zhou Xun turned his attention to those few magical treasures.
"White Mirage Pearl!" and "Extreme Blade!" both came from that lean old man.
Zhou Xun was almost killed by this person!
Taking out the White Mirage Pearl, holding it in hand, a warm feeling, as if freshly taken from a spirit clam.
With a simple investigation, Zhou Xun understood its functions.
The White Mirage Pearl is a rare magical treasure that combines concealment and defense, refined primarily from Tier Three Snow Mirage Pearl.
Although it is only tier three low-grade, its value likely surpasses ordinary tier three middle-grade magical treasures.
The second item "Extreme Blade," its function similar to its name, extremely sharp, with edges that incorporate the most top-tier Geng Metal in the Cultivation Realm.
If that old man’s path of body refining was not inferior, added with this sharp weapon, Zhou Xun’s situation that day would likely be dire.
"The old man, indeed adept in assassination, with two treasures, both premium."
Speaking, Zhou Xun put both treasures into the storage bag, intending to use them for his primary body.
Next, Zhou Xun investigated the remaining three magical treasures.
All were ordinary items, nothing noteworthy, after a few glances, they were stored away.
Today’s Zhou Xun, lacks nothing in magical treasures, unless having special effects, or matching attributes.
Otherwise, Zhou Xun sets them aside, reserved for future use.
...
When Zhou Xun emerged from the cultivation room again, it was a month later.
"Disciple greets Master!"
"Subordinate greets Island Master!"
Zhou Xun received his disciples in the reception hall.
Shi Wanrong, Fang Tianlun, Weih Qiuxin, and others looked at Zhou Xun with respect and awe.
Originally, they felt gratitude and admiration for Zhou Xun but lacked a bit of fear.
Though they couldn’t clearly see what happened in Wangchuan Lake because of the array’s obstruction,
but the faint transmission of powerful mana fluctuations surely frightened them.
Thinking they were doomed.
Unexpectedly, they received news of the entire annihilation of the Celestial Feather Sect cultivators at last.
Realize, there were visibly Fake Pill cultivators in the second assault team of the Celestial Feather Sect.
Such strength, enough to compare to two True Pill cultivators.
But even such a lineup, still fell in Wangchuan Lake Daoist Field.
Clearly, Zhou Xun was not just a Tier Two High-Grade Alchemist in their eyes.
Rather truly possesses the power to confront True Pill cultivators.
Along with his connection to Master Nanyue.
Such scenarios mirrored those of the past White Cloud Immortal City.
Now it seems, they are truly Xui Country’s second greatest power.
