Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 610 - 8: Greeting Elder Yiqing!

"However, the most crucial component for brewing this wine, the Tier Four Demon Pill, can only rely on Daoist Zhou to find a way!"

The portly middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Such a coincidence, indeed it saves me several years of effort!" Brewing this wine requires more than a decade of fermentation.

"I just don’t know, how much does this Pill Origin Wine cost?"

"A hundred thousand spirit stones per pound!"

"That’s not too expensive!" Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this.

Although purchasing spiritual items to brew it might be much cheaper, it requires waiting a longer time. Considering this, it’s not a loss for me,

so he stated,

"Fifty pounds will do!"

Upon hearing this number, the portly shopkeeper nodded with a smile and continued to ask,

"I wonder if Daoist Zhou wishes to purchase any other treasures?"

"Even if it’s not available here, we can arrange to gather it for Daoist Zhou from elsewhere!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun felt a stir in his heart. He remembered his lifebound magical treasure, the Thunder Pool.

The more celestial thunder power it absorbs, the more powerful it becomes, so he tentatively asked,

"I’d like to purchase some treasures containing celestial thunder power. Does your pavilion have any for sale?"

"Celestial thunder power... it just so happens that we recently acquired a piece of Tier Four Profound Thunder Crystal, though the amount isn’t large, only four ounces!"

"Four ounces... although the amount is somewhat insufficient, it’s still barely useful. May I ask for the price?"

Zhou Xun was stirred upon hearing this, not expecting such a pleasant surprise. It seemed he underestimated these trade guilds,

"Four million spirit stones. Of course, if it’s not enough for Daoist Zhou, I can arrange to gather more from other places, but it will take about half a year!"

The middle-aged man slowly replied.

"Then I’ll trouble your pavilion with it. I will certainly return to visit in half a year. As for this piece of four-ounce Profound Thunder Crystal, I will take it!"

The middle-aged man was overjoyed upon hearing this,

"Please wait a moment, Daoist Zhou. I will fetch the treasures you need from the storeroom right away!"

With that, he turned and left the elegant room.

In but the time of a cup of tea, the middle-aged man returned once more,

only to see him pat his waist, and several rays of spirit light flew out, landing on the table between the two.

They transformed into five exquisite wine jars,

and a jade box of verdant color, with a Tier Three Spirit-Sealing Talisman adhered to it.

"Please check it over!"

Zhou Xun nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the lids of the five wine jars instantly flew up, filling the elegant room with an astonishing wine aroma.

As he hooked a finger, a drop of wine floated out, landing in his mouth,

he savored it carefully, nodding slightly,

"The wine is fine!"

Then, Zhou Xun flicked his fingers, peeling off the Spirit-Sealing Talisman, and the jade box automatically opened, immediately bursting forth with countless rays of purple light,

turning the entire elegant room into a sea of purple,

and the sound of thunder arcs echoed in the air!

It’s indeed worthy of being a treasure worth millions, the phenomena are astonishing!

Inside the box lay a fist-sized crystal jade, entirely blue-purple in color.

Zhou Xun picked it up, holding it in his hand,

instantly, several streaks of purple lightning struck unexpectedly, climbing along Zhou Xun’s arm, and hit his hand,

causing his body to numb!

Bear in mind, his current Body Refining Technique was at the Ninth Layer, cultivated with the Thunder Forging Body Technique,

being partially immune to lightning,

yet this lightning still had such an effect on him, demonstrating how extraordinary this item was!

Zhou Xun was extremely satisfied, resisting the numbness, placing the jade back in the box, then sealing it shut, and affixed the Spirit-Sealing Talisman back,

"Good, this treasure is fine!"

Then he patted his waist, and rays of spirit light flew out, landing on the table in front of him.

Eight hundred and fifty-five high-grade spirit stones piled into a small hill, radiating spirit light that dazzled the eyes.

"Please verify them, Daoist Zhou!"

Zhou Xun pointed at the pile of spirit stones in front of him.

The middle-aged man smiled and said,

"Daoist Zhou’s reputation is certainly trustworthy. These five wine jars and the Profound Thunder Crystal are now yours!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper meticulously put the spirit stones into a storage bag. He had been a shopkeeper for hundreds of years and could discern the quantity with just a glance,

never having made a mistake!

"Thank you, I will return in half a year!"

With these words, Zhou Xun left Wuli Pavilion with the fervent send-off of the middle-aged man!

...

Upon returning to the cave mansion, he saw a figure waiting at the entrance!

It was Wang Erniu!

"Brother, congratulations on your new cave mansion!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xun’s figure, Wang Erniu laughed heartily and offered sincere congratulations.

"Haha, come in and let’s have a chat!"

Zhou Xun was also extremely happy, grabbing Wang Erniu by the wrist and pulling him into the cave mansion to sit in the main hall.

"Erniu, wait for me a while. Let me finish dealing with this Spirit Wine, and then we shall talk!"

"Big Brother, don’t mind me, go ahead and take care of your work first!" Wang Erniu said casually.

Zhou Xun nodded at his words,

They knew each other from humble beginnings, closer than brothers, so there was no need for so many formalities.

Only to see Zhou Xun pat his waist, taking out five jars of Spirit Wine and transferring them all into a gourd the size of a palm,

This gourd was also an Exotic Treasure, appearing small on the outside but with a vast internal space, able to contain thousands of pounds of fine wine.

It also had the function of preventing spiritual power from dissipating, making it quite extraordinary.

Then Zhou Xun took out the Inner Core of that Tier Four Demon Shark and placed it inside the gourd,

He formed spells with his hands, casting them inside,

"Next, we just need to wait half a year, and this Pill Origin Wine will be finished!"

"Big Brother is brewing wine?"

After Zhou Xun finished dealing with it, Wang Erniu curiously inquired.

"That’s right, this is Pill Origin Wine, capable of absorbing and fusing the spiritual power from the Tier Four Demon Pill. In just half a year, it will become an excellent aid for cultivation!"

"Then you should come and try some too when the time comes!"

Zhou Xun nodded and said.

"In that case, I wouldn’t dare refuse!"

Then, Zhou Xun took out some Tier Three High-Grade Spiritual Mist Tea, brewing a pot for Wang Erniu.

Wang Erniu had tasted this tea before, but it was his first time experiencing it at the Tier Three High-Grade Level, and he couldn’t help but praise it profusely.

With the Spirit Tea, the two chatted briefly and then began to study the Sword Array Technique again.

"Erniu, I understand everything you’ve said, but I am not a Sword Cultivator. I can’t control the sword with divine intent like you, naturally, I can’t freely control each Sword Qi as you do!"

Zhou Xun sighed!

Wang Erniu was a Sword Cultivator, and their cultivation methods were different. There were some things he couldn’t achieve!

"Free Sword Control and Divine Sword Control can only be achieved with a Lifebound Magical Treasure, but my Lifebound Magical Treasure is the Thunder Pool!"

"That’s right, the Thunder Pool, and I also have Thunder Seeds!"

In a flash, Zhou Xun remembered his thirty-six Thunder Seeds.

These Thunder Seeds were driven by divine intent, and if he could transform these Thunder Seeds into Flying Swords to replace the Sword Qi in the Sword Array,

wouldn’t he achieve a similar effect!

Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up brightly, and he immediately shared this idea with Wang Erniu.

"Big Brother, it might really work this time!"

"According to my master’s teachings, this Sword Array Technique was created by ancient Sword Cultivators combining the principles of the Path of Array!"

"Today, Big Brother transforms Thunder Seeds into swords; it might not be impossible to create a new Thunder Sword Array!"

Wang Erniu grew more and more excited,

and Zhou Xun decided to give it a try!

In the courtyard,

Zhou Xun levitated, opening his mouth as the thirty-six Thunder Seeds flew out instantly, scattering throughout the courtyard!

"Transform!"

Zhou Xun formed hand seals and lightly pointed!

The Thunder Seeds began to transform into Thunderous Swords,

Meanwhile, under Zhou Xun’s control, these Thunder Swords started to split,

one sword became two, three, four... ...

stopping at ten!

At this point, the entire courtyard was filled with three hundred and sixty Thunder Swords!

Then, Zhou Xun performed the spells for the Celestial Essence Sword Array, softly commanding:

"Rise!"

Instantly, the three hundred and sixty Thunder Swords arranged according to a specific pattern, simultaneously sending a unique connection among them,

"Big Brother... it really worked!" Wang Erniu rejoiced,

but soon after he finished, the Thunder Swords in the sky began to fall one by one.

"Still a bit lacking!" Zhou Xun sighed,

"However, this path is possible. I believe with further refinements and adjustments, it can succeed!" Zhou Xun’s eyes shone brightly.

Who knows what kind of power will emerge when the original strongest Thunder Cultivator and Sword Cultivator combine their powers and unleash them with a Sword Array Technique!

Time passed day by day,

Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu continued to refine this new Sword Array Technique,

and as time went on, the method became increasingly complete,

very soon, a month had passed.

In the Spirit Control Sect,

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the Dragon Transformation Pool one day,

"It seems that the Three-Headed Spirit Beast’s bloodline is about to purify completely."
