Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 331 - 79: Journey to Fengg Country!

Talisman crafting involves using a Talisman Pen as a medium to infuse the Talisman Master’s own mana into Spirit Ink, which is then locked within Talisman Paper.

The problem with refining Treasure Talismans arises precisely here.

Zhou Xun’s main body mana strength is at the True Pill level, yet the Talisman Pen is merely a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

It cannot fully transmit Zhou Xun’s mana.

Therefore, after Zhou Xun completes the crafting and the spiritual energy circuit connects, a conflict arises, leading to refining failure.

Since the requirements for Quasi-Third Tier Talismans are not as high, Zhou Xun can succeed in refining them.

However, when it comes to highly demanding Treasure Talismans, even the slightest problem can result in refining failure.

"It seems that to successfully refine Treasure Talismans, one must find a Tier Three Talisman Pen!" Zhou Xun sighed.

Tier Three Talisman Masters are already rare; the entire Xui Country only has two in Cloud Light Sect.

With fewer people, there’s less demand, so corresponding treasures are naturally scarce.

As a result, even if Zhou Xun wanted to purchase, there’s nowhere to buy.

Of course, if he were to approach the two Tier Three Talisman Masters of Cloud Light Sect, they might reluctantly sell the Talisman Pen due to Zhou Xun’s influence.

But the issue is, these two are currently at the Golden Ape Valley front line.

He can’t just go to the front line to forcefully buy their Talisman Pen, right?

This path is naturally unfeasible.

There’s another approach most Tier Three Talisman Masters take—custom fabrication!

Find a Tier Three Artifact Refiner to custom craft a Talisman Pen.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun has plenty of Tier Three Great Demon hair for the Talisman Pen.

As for the Tier Three Spirit Bamboo needed for the Talisman Pen shaft, he also has a segment.

With all materials prepared, he only needs to find an Artifact Refiner.

However, the profession of Artifact Refiner rarely sees Tier Three existence.

Because those who can use Tier Three treasures are invariably Core Formation cultivators.

These Core Formation cultivators often refine their own magical treasures and rarely commission others.

No demand naturally means no market.

This is a common principle wherever one goes.

Hence, currently, a Tier Three Artifact Refiner can’t be found throughout Xui Country.

At this point, Zhou Xun realizes the complexity of the matter.

"Do I really have to make a trip to the Golden Ape Valley front line?"

At this point, Zhou Xun had a sudden insight.

He remembered someone.

The Cultivator Hu, who once traded Wood Element Ginseng for a Quasi-Third Tier Puppet!

That person can refine formidable Quasi-Third Tier Puppets, their artifact refining skills must be extraordinary, with a great possibility of being at the Tier Three level!

"I might as well make a trip to Fengg Country!"

"Even if unsuccessful, I can explore Fengyuan City. Maybe there’ll be a ready-made Talisman Pen!"

After all, Fengg Country now isn’t like Xui Country, which faced external invasions and remains safe and tranquil.

Nonetheless, before leaving, Zhou Xun habitually took out the Small Divination Compass and cast a divination for himself.

"The hexagram is auspicious but seems to have turbulence!"

"Could it be that this trip won’t be peaceful!"

Zhou Xun murmured a sentence, eventually deciding to travel with his manifestation.

...

Soon, half an hour later, a blue spirit light soared from Lake Heart Island, hurtling toward Fengyuan City.

Fengyuan City is tens of thousands of miles away from Wangchuan Lake, extremely prosperous, with nearly ten thousand cultivators in the city.

If it were previously Juntian City, perhaps it could slightly compare.

But since Xui Country suffered from beast tide and Celestial Feather Sect invasions, a large number of cultivators were dispatched to the Golden Ape Valley front line.

The present Juntian City is not even half as prosperous as Fengyuan City.

On this day, around Fengyuan City, all kinds of spirit lights flew from every direction and descended ten miles from the city gate.

This is Fengyuan City’s no-fly restriction.

All cultivators must not cross ten miles near Fengyuan City, or they’ll face a strong pulling force dragging them brutally to the ground.

There once were ignorant cultivators who flew directly in, encountering the no-fly restriction.

Caught off guard, they fell straight from the sky, meeting their demise.

After a few such typical incidents, Fengg Country cultivators dared not be so reckless.

A blue spirit light raced from the north.

Like a shooting bolt, carrying a low rumbling sound akin to thunder.

Upon closer inspection, within the spirit light was a young man in white robes, with a handsome figure and extraordinary aura, like a piece of fine jade.

Surprisingly, the spirit light wasn’t affected by the no-fly restriction, descending slowly at the city gate.

"This... How can this person be so bold, isn’t he afraid of the no-fly restriction!" People walking below showed shock, looking at the distant figure.

"Haha, Fengyuan City’s no-fly restriction only affects cultivators at Foundation Establishment Stage and below. The one who flew through must be a Core Formation Stage senior!"

Someone knowledgeable explained beside them.

"What, it’s a Core Formation Stage senior," many exclaimed in shock while stretching their necks to glimpse the senior’s appearance.

After all, Core Formation cultivators are always exalted and elusive.

Only those with deep fortune have the chance to meet them.

Those who can see today naturally want to observe more, to brag to comrades later.

...

Zhou Xun was aware of the commotion his appearance caused, but he didn’t care.

No tiger bothers with the noise of ants beneath its feet.

It’s his second visit to Fengyuan City.

Looking at the towering hundred-zhang city walls, Zhou Xun discreetly compared them to the White Cloud Immortal City of years past.

He reached a conclusion, completely incomparable!

Every brick of these city walls is specially refined, combined with engraved restrictions. Even Tier Three Great Demons find them hard to breach quickly.

The guard squads at the entrance are no different from those of the past,

Even the elder sitting behind the table under the city gate is the same as back then.

Only the once-strong young man is now gray-haired, with his face etched by time.

Currently, the elder noticed Zhou Xun descending from the sky, his complexion changed immediately.

He leapt up, approached Zhou Xun, and bowed deeply.

"Junior Wenren Qing, greetings to Senior!"

And the two squads of guards also bowed in salute.

Zhou Xun smiled amiably and casually asked:

"How many years has Young Friend Wen been here?"

The elder was momentarily stunned at the question, then recollecting, showing a look of reminiscence:

"Senior has a discerning eye, junior has been responsible for guarding the city gate since the age of fifty-one, now it’s been over a hundred and twenty years!"

"Dutiful and loyal, commendable!" Zhou Xun slightly praised.

"Thank you, Senior, for the praise!" The elder slightly bowed and then asked:

"You seem unfamiliar, Senior, is this your first time in our Fengyuan City?"

Zhou Xun was about to reply no but recalled his previous disguised visit, so he nodded.

"Indeed!"

"In that case, please follow me to obtain a passage order, Senior. Without it, walking in the city will be sensed by arrays, attracting inquiries from Law Enforcement Cultivators!"

The elder respectfully led Zhou Xun to the table.

"Please sit, Senior!" The elder wiped his used chair with his sleeve.

Zhou Xun did not refuse, smilingly sitting down, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

The elder took out a mysterious token, cast a spell, and then respectfully handed the token to Zhou Xun:

"Please infuse a thread of Mana, Senior, to activate this token for use. As long as Fengyuan City exists, you’ll be able to enter anytime with this token, no matter how long you stay!"

Zhou Xun took it and hung it at his waist.

"Thank you, Young Friend, here’s a Tier Two High-Grade Longevity Pill for you, hoping to see you when I return!"

The elder was stunned, suddenly holding a pill bottle.

He looked back to find Zhou Xun gone.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Having low aptitude, he luckily reached Foundation Establishment, but only at the Second Layer.

Hence guarding the city gate all his life, jokingly named "Guardian Dog Cultivator" by others!

Now, someone finally acknowledges his dedication!

The elder bowed deeply towards the city direction. Rising, he was tear-stained!
