Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 319 - 67: Taking Stock of the Gains!

The celebration lasted a full three days, after which everyone dispersed.

Lin Xueying stayed behind, as it had been several years since he had last seen Zhou Xun.

In the cave mansion on Lake Heart Island, Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying sat opposite each other.

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Lin Xueying was nearly entranced.

"Zhou Lang!"

Lin Xueying softly called out.

"About the letter, I..."

Hearing this, Zhou Xun immediately understood Lin Xueying’s thoughts and reassured her:

"Don’t overthink it, Master Fengyue has always had ill intentions towards me. She stole your letter to use it against me!"

"Even if it hadn’t been this time, there would have been a next time!"

Then, Zhou Xun recounted the events of Master Fengyue’s past pursuit of him.

Lin Xueying was shocked upon hearing this.

"Why would Master want to... harbor animosity against you!"

Back then, Zhou Xun was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, being pursued by a True Pill Cultivator, yet managed to escape—imagine the hardships he endured.

Thinking about this, Lin Xueying couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt rising.

"It’s all my fault, otherwise, you wouldn’t have incurred Master’s hatred!"

Zhou Xun shook his head and said:

"From the moment you appeared in front of her, it was destined that she would constantly trouble me!"

Saying this, Zhou Xun patted the storage bag at his waist.

A flash of spirit light fell onto the stone table between them, turning into a jade scroll.

"What is this?"

Lin Xueying was puzzled.

Zhou Xun gestured for her to pick it up and take a look.

Although Lin Xueying was a bit confused, she did as Zhou Xun instructed, reaching out her alabaster-like fingers to pick up the jade scroll and immersing her divine sense into it to start reading.

After a long time, Lin Xueying finally raised her head.

"Master... you took me as a disciple just for my physical body!"

At this moment, she was filled with disbelief. Although she had long felt that something was amiss with Master Fengyue, she had never realized too much.

Thus, she had always respected this master greatly,

Only after reading this jade scroll did she understand everything.

She understood why sometimes Master Fengyue’s gaze felt strange, and why she was confined to the cave mansion, being urged to reach Late-Stage Foundation Establishment quickly.

And she also understood what Zhou Xun had said, about never letting him go.

She shared marital relations with Zhou Xun, while Master Fengyue viewed her body as her own. With Master Fengyue’s pride, how could she tolerate Zhou Xun’s existence?

"Husband, I didn’t expect you to save me again!" Lin Xueying said emotionally.

Clearly, once she advanced to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, it would be Master Fengyue’s time to possess her. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Is the Water Moon Body really that tempting?" Lin Xueying said with a pained expression.

After all, this was a master she had been with for decades.

Zhou Xun said nothing, merely staying silently by her side.

After a long time, Lin Xueying’s mood slightly recovered, and she gave Zhou Xun a slight smile, like flowers blossoming, causing Zhou Xun to glance sideways.

"In this way, it’s a blessing in disguise. With the existence of this Water Moon Body, I can at least catch up with your footsteps in the future, Zhou Lang!"

Zhou Xun reached Core Formation before seventy; how could she not understand that his talent was not as it seemed before?

"You keep this jade scroll, with it, you can cultivate the Water Moon Body. The future is long, and the Cloud Light Sect still needs you to take charge!"

Zhou Xun said lightly.

"I understand!"

Afterwards, the long-separated couple intertwined until noon of the second day.

...

After rising, Wei Qiuxin and Zhou Jingsong visited.

As guest masters at the celebration, they were responsible for collecting the guests’ gifts.

They came at this time to deliver the gifts.

Arriving at the reception hall, the two were already standing there waiting!

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Island Master!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, the two cupped their hands and bowed, their attitudes extremely respectful.

"Rise, sit and talk!" Zhou Xun said faintly.

"Thank you, Master!"

The two nodded in agreement.

As soon as they sat down, Zhou Jingsong took out a gift register and handed it to Zhou Xun.

"Master, this is the gifts register from this celebration’s guests, all compiled. Please have a look!"

Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately took it and began to peruse.

[Red Leaf Square Lin Family, one Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine!]

"Unexpectedly, after encountering a crisis like the Beast Tide, the Lin Family still possesses such resources; they are truly a hundred-year-old noble family proficient in cultivating spirit medicine!"

Zhou Xun slightly praised.

Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine is extremely important to him now.

He could use the Soul Absorption Secret Technique to nurture it to Tier Three Top-Grade, thus enhancing his Spirit Root Talent.

"With this one, I now have nine Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines, enough to enhance nine points of spirit root!"

There are also three Tier Three High-Grade ones, in total they could raise his Spirit Root Sensitivity to over seventy points.

"In the future, arranging for Wangchuan Square to acquire more high-tier spiritual medicines, perhaps here at Wangchuan Lake, I could elevate my spirit root to the Earth-Grade Extreme!"

Zhou Xun continued to look further.

[Cloud Light Sect, two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!]

Unfortunately, they are all Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, merely enriching his storage bag a bit.

But considering that the Cloud Light Sect had compensated him with a large amount of Treasures of Heaven and Earth before, these two hundred thousand Spirit Stones aren’t hard to understand.

In addition, Fengg Country’s largest sect, Profound Cloud Sect, gifted a small bottle of the top-grade Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, "Celestial Radiance Water."

This "Celestial Radiance Water" is primarily used to shorten the time for cultivators to nurture their lifebound magical treasure,

Generally, a newly advanced Core Formation Cultivator cannot initially use the lifebound magical treasure they have refined.

It requires at least decades of nurturing in the dantian to be used in magical combat.

However, this "Celestial Radiance Water" can shorten that time,

You could say, this treasure is the most coveted item for newly advanced Core Formation Cultivators.

Profound Cloud Sect’s gesture can be said to be full of sincerity.

It’s a pity that Zhou Xun’s incarnated lifebound magical treasure is not ordinary, so this "Celestial Radiance Water" won’t be utilized.

But keeping it for the future would be good too.

As for the other two great influences in Fengg Country, the gifts they brought were also extraordinary.

Qingyu Sect presented a five-foot length of Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Wood, "Clear Spirit Wood," an excellent material for refining Wood Attribute Magical Treasures.

It seems the people of Qingyu Sect heard that what Zhou Xun cultivates is a Wood Attribute Technique, so they offered this treasure.

As for the Yumu Ridge Song Family, perhaps due to Master Nanyue’s previous influence, the treasures they offered were the most valuable among the Three Great Influences.

Their gift was a small ball of Dragon Musk.

The greatest use of Dragon Musk is to help cultivators conceive offspring.

Know that the higher the cultivator’s cultivation, the harder it is to bear offspring, and for someone at Zhou Xun’s level, it might be nearly impossible in a lifetime.

But this Dragon Musk can increase the chances of doing so, making it a priceless item for High-Tier Cultivators in dire need of it.

At the same time, the chance of birthing a genius using this Dragon Musk would also greatly increase.

"Perhaps, this is the greatest secret passed down through the Song Family for a thousand years!"

He smiled lightly and continued to look further.

Aside from Qingyue Square’s Song Family gifting three High-Grade Spirit Stones and a piece of Tier Three High-Grade Spiritual Ore, there was nothing else that caught his eye.

Nevertheless, all of it combined had a value totaling over three hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

"It’s surprising that hosting this celebration has nearly equaled half of Master Fengyue’s wealth in gains!"
