Chapter 369: Chapter 117: Setting Out for Tianhan City!

Set the array flags according to their corresponding positions.

Then, take out the manipulation command flag and lightly wave it downwards.

A flash of grey light, and the array is instantly deployed successfully.

Next, streams of Spiritual Qi seep from the underground Yin Vein, continuously increasing the concentration of Yin Qi here.

Zhou Xun waited here for half a day.

Feeling the concentration inside, Zhou Xun smiled slightly.

“Judging by this concentration of Yin Qi, my array is a success!”

At this point, Zhou Xun’s array skills officially reached the Quasi-Third Tier.

He tapped the Blood Demon Bag, taking out the Blood Demon Child at the True Pill Level, and buried it underground again.

“With the current concentration of Yin Qi, I reckon it should be fully nurtured in no more than a year!”

Returning to Wangchuan Lake.

Zhou Xun took out the corpses of the Celestial Feather Sect’s Grand Elder and others, and began refining.

Half a month later, Zhou Xun appeared again in the Corpse Nurturing Land.

He took out four semi-finished Blood Demon Children.

One was refined from the corpse of the Celestial Feather Sect’s Grand Elder, who was originally at Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivation.

When fully nurtured, Zhou Xun estimated its strength would be comparable to a Middle-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

The Second Elder was at Middle-Stage Core Formation, and the refined Blood Demon Child wouldn’t bow to ordinary Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivators.

As for the one refined by Wu Zongdao, it was approximately equivalent to Master Fengyue’s.

The last one was refined from the Celestial Feather Sect’s Fake Pill Cultivator’s corpse, following the principle of not wasting it.

Zhou Xun buried them all underground, applied Spirit Light, and then left.

“With a higher-grade Corpse Nurturing Land, they should be fully nurtured in at most three years!”

…

Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, two years had gone by.

This year Zhou Xun was eighty-two years old.

A year ago, another Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicine increased to Tier Four Low-Grade.

With the essence of this spirit medicine, Zhou Xun’s Spirit Root Sensitivity smoothly increased to seventy-three points.

Which in Earth Spirit Roots, was considered excellent!

On this day, in the underground Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun’s true body sat cross-legged.

His body was covered in a light cyan Spirit Ointment.

These were concocted by Zhou Xun using Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Ore.

He operated the incantation of the “Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique,” and the essence of the spirit ointment was continuously drawn into Zhou Xun’s body.

It then merged into his flesh, bone marrow, and internal organs.

Constantly tempering.

As time passed, the color of the spirit ointment gradually lightened, eventually turning grey-white and falling off.

Revealing Zhou Xun’s original skin.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun took out a jar containing the spirit ointment and applied it all over his body again, starting the incantation.

After half a day the spirit ointment turned grey-white again and fell off.

Zhou Xun applied the spirit ointment all over his body again and then operated the “Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique” incantation.

Thus, for several days, Zhou Xun was immersed in body refinement.

Finally, on the fifth day, Zhou Xun’s physique reached its utmost limit.

At this point, Zhou Xun finally stopped cultivating.

“The Sixth Layer Peak, I’ve finally reached it!”

He took out a Low-Grade Magical Treasure Flying Knife and cut his arm.

A very small cut that didn’t even reach the muscle layer.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly,

At the Sixth Layer Peak of the “Hundred Veins Body Refining Technique,” it was already able to resist part of the power of a Low-Grade Magical Treasure, which made Zhou Xun very satisfied.

Though not as tough as the Tier Three Great Demon, it wasn’t far off.

Zhou Xun speculated that with just his physical body, he might be able to withstand those Fake Pill Cultivators without magical treasures.

…

Another year passed.

On this day, Zhou Xun, Song Yiqing, and Weih Qiuxin waited quietly at the rear cliff.

Song Yiqing heard of the Dragon Carp’s advancement and had specifically come out from seclusion.

As for Weih Qiuxin, Zhou Xun’s few Spirit Beasts had been under her care all these years.

Three years ago, the Crimson Flame Simurgh advanced to Tier Two Middle-Grade, and now this Cyan Gold Dragon Carp was finally advancing again.

Following Zhou Xun’s gaze, they saw a cyan-gold water sphere over ten feet in size floating on the water surface.

“The advancement of this demon beast is always so peculiar!”

Zhou Xun clicked his tongue in wonder.

After about half a day, the water sphere suddenly began to shrink.

Following that, it seemed that a strong suction force was produced, rapidly drawing large amounts of Spiritual Qi towards the water sphere.

With an intensifying trend.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun naturally knew that the Dragon Carp had reached the critical stage of advancement.

Without hesitation, he patted his Storage Bag and took out the Array Flag for controlling the Wangchuan Lake Array.

After injecting Mana, he swung it down heavily.

Instantly, the sky and clouds changed colors.

Throughout the hundreds of miles within Wangchuan Lake, the Spiritual Qi, as if guided by some force, began to gather towards the place where Zhou Xun was looking.

Consequently, even the Spiritual Qi outside the grand array began to move toward Wangchuan Lake.

Thus, as one could see with the naked eye, a vortex over forty feet wide formed around the Dragon Carp and poured toward it.

With Zhou Xun’s assistance, the Spiritual Qi formed a vortex over forty feet in size, pouring down towards the Dragon Carp.

Then, the aura around the Dragon Carp continued to rise, and its demonic power continued to increase rapidly.

Until at a certain critical point, it stopped.

But the Spiritual Qi continued pouring inside.

This was the Dragon Carp’s breakthrough moment.

Finally, at one moment, the barrier could no longer hold back, and everything suddenly became clear!

The aura around the Dragon Carp reached a sudden peak.

“Finally reached Tier Two High-Grade!”

At this moment, the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp impressively grew to over ten feet in size.

“If it reaches Tier Three, could it really become a Flood Dragon?” Zhou Xun speculated.

Just then, the body of the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp rapidly shrank to human height, flew to Zhou Xun’s side, and snuggled up affectionately.

He patted his Storage Bag, took out a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Feeding Pill, and tossed it toward the Dragon Carp.

“Husband, I didn’t expect the Dragon Carp had advanced to Tier Two High-Grade, and I’m only at Second-Layer Foundation Establishment!”

Song Yiqing said somewhat bashfully.

“With a Earth-Grade bloodline, the Dragon Carp is equivalent to an Earth Spirit Root, and with my continuous resource consumption, its advancement rate is naturally swift!”

Zhou Xun smiled faintly.

“However, much thanks to Qiuxin!”

“Serving the Island Master is my duty!” Weih Qiuxin replied without claiming any credit.

The current her had already impressively reached Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

It was evident that the enhancement of Spiritual Energy at Wangchuan Lake had greatly benefited her too.

At least this cultivation speed had reached the threshold of High-Grade Spirit Root.

After that, Zhou Xun left.

…

Time flew by, and another year passed.

This year, Zhou Xun turned eighty-four years old.

At this time, his Spirit Root Sensitivity had already risen to seventy-six points.

Finally, all the Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicines he had on hand had been used up.

Fortunately, he still had ten Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines, enough to raise his Spirit Root Sensitivity to the next level.

And later, by nurturing the Tier Four Middle-Grade “Celestial Spirit True Flame Lotus” to Tier Four Top-Grade, the Celestial Spirit Root will then be within reach.

After reviewing the letter once again from Master Tianci that day.

“It seems the time has come to depart for Tianhan City!”
