Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

I've met Alchemist Zhou!

This is an old man dressed as a Confucian scholar with some gray hair, holding a folding fan in his hand.

It is the book of Song Dynasty.

When Zhou Xun met him for the first time, Zhou Xun was only twenty years old, and his cultivation level was only at the fourth level of Qi training.

Now thirty years have passed, and Song Zhishu, who originally looked middle-aged, has become older, his hair has begun to turn gray, and wrinkles have appeared on his face.

And his current cultivation level is also in the late stage of Qi training.

It's a pity that he is now over seventy years old, and it is difficult for him to improve his cultivation.

Generally speaking, after a qi cultivator reaches the age of sixty, not only will the success rate of foundation building drop significantly, but the difficulty of improving his cultivation level will also increase exponentially.

The same is true for Song Zhishu. After breaking through the late stage of Qi training more than ten years ago, his cultivation has never progressed.

However, for him, it is a blessing to reach the late stage of Qi training in this life.

After all, he is just a low-grade spiritual root.

When did Fellow Daoist Song arrive?

Zhou Xun was also happy to see his old friend.

I received a letter from Alchemist Zhou two years ago. After discussion within the clan, we finally decided to send me and Alchemist Zhou to transport the high-grade spiritual stone!

Song Zhishu said, taking out an exquisite jade box from the storage bag, with a sealing talisman on it to prevent the spiritual energy from leaking.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun's eyes lit up.

Another high-grade spiritual stone, it was extremely important to him at the moment when the beast tide was definitely going to happen.

With the high-grade spiritual stone, he can drive the quasi-third-level puppet.

However, what surprised him was that Song Zhishu, a late-stage qi-training monk, transported high-grade spiritual stones worth more than 13,000 spiritual stones.

Thirteen thousand spiritual stones are a wealth that most foundation-building monks do not have.

How could they feel relieved?

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Xun understood the reason.

One thing is that Song Zhishu was an upright man and was well-known throughout Qingyuefang.

Second, Song Zhishu is already old and has passed the sixty-year-old foundation-building mark. There will be basically no big development in his cultivation in the future.

Even if he ran away with this high-grade spiritual stone, it would not solve his cultivation dilemma.

And his descendants live in Qingyuefang.

The third is his relationship with Zhou Xun. He was originally the messenger of the Song family responsible for communicating with Zhou Xun, and he was also the person with the closest relationship to Zhou Xun besides Song Yiqing.

He is the most suitable candidate both emotionally and rationally.

Thank you for your hard work, Fellow Daoist Song!

I wonder how many Lingshi exchanges are needed?

Zhou Xun pointed to the jade box in front of him.

Ten thousand spirit stones are enough!

Zhou Xun nodded. It seemed that the Song family and the Lin family had the same idea.

It was a rare opportunity to get Zhou Xun to write a letter of help and to be able to owe Zhou Xun a favor, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

So Zhou Xun pointed out a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Song Zhishu.

Song Zhishu put it into his storage bag without looking at it.

Speaking of which, my third uncle got this high-grade spiritual stone in exchange for his connections with the Yunguang Sect. This is why I just sent this spiritual stone here now!

Song Zhishu then talked about the origin of the spirit stone.

It also shows the sincerity of the Song family.

The Song family spared no effort in supporting Zhou Xun.

It's a married daughter, and it's a gift!

I see, this is really troublesome for the ancestor. If something happens in the future and Zhou needs to take action, it will naturally be his responsibility!

Regarding this, Zhou Xun naturally appreciated it and made his own promise at the same time.

Song Zhishu laughed when he heard this, his goal was achieved.

Then they started chatting about this auction event.

When I come here this time, I really need Alchemist Zhou's help with something!

My young master has reached the ninth level of Qi training for some time. The next step is to build the foundation.

It's a pity that the Yunguang Sect has strictly controlled the leakage of level-breaking elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills in recent years, and our Song family can't get them either.

It just so happens that this is the Baiyun Immortal City's once-in-a-decade auction, and there is an auction of Foundation Establishment Pills. This is also my second mission here!

However, there are many people competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill. In addition, our Song family is not a nearby family, so we will easily become the target of public criticism. I wonder if we can ask Alchemist Zhou to take a shot of this pill on our behalf!

Of course, our Song family will be responsible for all the spiritual stones spent!

Zhou Xun naturally agreed to this matter.

After Song Zhishu left, news of Zhou Xun's return to Jinquan Lane spread like wildfire.

Neighbors from Jinquan Lane came to visit one after another.

Zhou Xun naturally received him warmly.

What surprised Zhou Xun was that someone else came to Zhou Xun to refine elixirs, and they were refining extremely rare and precious elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills.

The clients turned out to be Fairy Mingyue and Fang Tianlun back then (Chapter 23 of this volume).

Fellow Daoist Fang, Fairy Mingyue, long time no see!

I've met Alchemist Zhou! As soon as the beautiful woman and the middle-aged man saw Zhou Xun, they bowed respectfully and bowed to the ground.

Twenty years have passed, and today Fairy Mingyue has shown a mature charm, which is even more exciting.

We took the liberty of coming here because we want to ask Alchemist Zhou to help us refine a batch of elixirs. All the rewards will be based on the market price! The two said and gave another gift.

You two fellow Taoists are very polite. You and I have known each other for many years. It's just a batch of pills. Of course I agree! Zhou Xun laughed, not showing any airs as a senior.

I wonder what kind of elixir you want to refine?

Zhou Xun asked curiously. Seeing the two people looking so solemn, he thought it was something unusual.

The two looked at each other and each took out several elixirs from their storage bags.

Earth Spirit Grass!

Dragon Heart Fruit!

Mingqianhua!

Yun Lingzhi!

There are also some more common elixirs.

This is a complete foundation building elixir material.

It's just good luck that these two fellow Taoists have collected a complete set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials!

Zhou Xun looked surprised.

You must know that it was by chance that he gathered the three auxiliary ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the main ingredient was also replaced by the second-level demon pill.

Unexpectedly, these two people collected them all.

Alchemist Zhou is so complimentary. We are both lucky! Fang Tianlun was extremely humble.

Okay, I've made this furnace of elixirs for you, but first things first, Zhou can't guarantee the success rate this time.

If one elixir comes out or fails completely, I won't take any money from this refining,

If two pills are produced, you need to pay me the refining fee of one thousand spirit stones,

If three pills are produced, the third foundation-building pill will be mine, and no other fees will be charged. How about that?

What Zhou Xun was talking about were also the quotes from the other alchemists in Baiyun Immortal City.

Upon hearing this, the two of them saw no problem and said in unison:

Just like what Alchemist Zhou said!

Zhou Xun nodded, put away the elixir, and then walked into the practice room.

A few hours later, the door to the training room opened again.

Zhou Xun handed the two medicine bottles to Fang Tianlun and Fairy Mingyue.

The refining was extremely successful. Three elixirs were produced. These two are yours. You don't have to pay the refining fee!

He said and handed the medicine bottle to the two of them.

Fang Tianlun and Fairy Mingyue were overjoyed and hurriedly took it, then bowed and saluted again.

Thank you, Master Zhou!

I wish you both a successful foundation building! Looking at the two of them at their peak Qi training, Zhou Xun congratulated them with a smile.

Among the two, Fang Tianlun is slightly older and is close to sixty. I am afraid that the chance of breakthrough is not as good as that of Fairy Mingyue.

Time flew by, and soon the day of the auction came.

Zhou Xun took Song Yiqing with him. The auction was still held at the Green Ape Hall.
