Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 594 - 1: Farewell, Journey to the Sea Suppression Immortal City!

After a long while, only then did he open his eyes and speak:

"This horn should be where the magical might of the Ink Flood Dragon clan lies. It indeed contains the meaning of the void and counts as an extremely rare void material!"

"It’s just a pity that this Flood Dragon has not yet grown up, the meaning of the void is not obvious, and I’m afraid it can only be used after a long time!"

"Even if it is integrated into the flying sword, it may not bring a qualitative improvement, instead it will make the Thunder Sword mixed and affect its future enhancement."

"After all, this Ink Flood Dragon is a water attribute demon beast!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded. His Thunder Sword’s materials are all thunder attributes, making it much easier to enhance in the future.

Zhou Xun was reluctant to destroy its potential for a momentary power gain.

After all, this treasure suited him excellently, and with his Sword Shadow Unification Secret Technique, its might was extraordinary.

Suddenly, he remembered an item.

His high-grade magical treasure, the short spear,

This item has very high power, extremely sharp. Zhou Xun guessed it contains Geng Metal,

With a flip of his hand, a foot-long spear of bronze color appeared in his hand,

On the bronze shaft on its side, two engraved characters "Jun Mang" were visible.

"What if this horn is merged with this spear?"

Seeing this spear, True Monarch Iron Mountain’s eyes lit up,

"Good magical treasure!"

He couldn’t help but take a deep look at Zhou Xun,

He didn’t expect that Zhou Xun, having just broken through, had so many high-grade magical treasures in hand,

Even he, a Tier Four Refining Grandmaster, only had two such items in his possession right now.

With a beckon, the short spear fell into his hand, and he repeated the special secret technique to investigate.

Not long after, the man raised his head,

"The refining technique of this spear is extremely exquisite, using thunder attribute materials as the main component, mixed with Geng Metal and Refining Crystal, making this treasure not only extremely sharp but also extremely tenacious,"

"Using this spear as a foundation and adding that horn is indeed extremely suitable!"

"At that time, a powerful treasure sharp as an Extreme Blade, capable of cutting through anything, with the power of space-breaking instant teleportation,"

"I really can’t imagine anyone who could resist it!"

"The only downside is that this instant teleportation ability can’t be used often; using it once may require a year to recover!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed at hearing this; it’s just a one-year cooldown, and he wouldn’t have that many battles either.

If it really comes to it, he could simply hunt another mature Ink Flood Dragon in the future!

"Then I’ll trouble you, Daoist Brother!"

"No need to be polite, my dear brother, just treat me to a few more rounds of drinks!" True Monarch Iron Mountain said with a hearty laugh,

"To refine this treasure, I’ll need to use the Earth Fire on Ringless Island. Come to fetch the treasure in half a month!"

Then the two chatted for a while, and True Monarch Iron Mountain took his leave!

...

After True Monarch Iron Mountain left,

Zhou Xun took out a sound transmission talisman, whispered a few words, and tossed it into the air,

The talisman transformed into a flame and flew out.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Luo Yuancheng walked into the cave mansion’s gate.

"Greetings, Master!"

The young man bowed deeply, performing a grand gesture.

"I wonder what instructions Master has for summoning me?"

"Come over here!" Zhou Xun pointed to the stone table beside him. Luo Yuancheng, though puzzled, obediently walked over.

"Take out your talisman paper, talisman pen; let me see your Talisman Dao skills!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Luo Yuancheng patted his storage bag, and several streaks of spirit light flew out, landing on the stone table.

A talisman pen, talisman ink, and a stack of quasi-third tier talisman paper.

The young man sat upright, left hand unfolding the talisman paper, right hand holding the talisman pen, lightly dipped it in the spirit ink, and began drawing!

The brush moved swiftly like a dragon and snake, completing in one go!

The spiritual energy circuit instantly connected!

The young man picked up the half-finished talisman and handed it to Zhou Xun,

"Please, Master, give guidance!"

Zhou Xun took it and carefully scrutinized,

"Not bad...the lines are even and beautiful, the spiritual energy flows smoothly without the slightest delay, it can be considered a premium work!"

Then Zhou Xun took out a stack of tier three low-grade talisman paper,

"Try the tier three talisman!"

"Yes!"

The young man responded and followed suit, picking up the talisman pen for another round of drawing!

However, just as he finished the stroke, the talisman flickered between light and dark. Suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke rose up, transforming into a flame that consumed it all in an instant.

"With your Talisman Dao skill, drawing this talisman should pose no problem. It seems the issue lies with the talisman pen. A Tier Two Top-Grade Talisman Pen is somewhat inadequate,"

"It tends to cause instability in the spiritual power circuit when bearing Tier Three mana. Try this pen!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a Tier Three Low-Grade Talisman Pen, handing it over.

Luo Yuancheng received it with excitement and then began drawing again.

Sure enough, this time it was successful, the Tier Three Talisman formed instantly. Although the quality was somewhat poor, it was still a success.

"Now it seems, you can be counted as a Tier Three Low-Grade Talisman Maker, so passing on the Nurtured Talisman Technique to you would not be undeserved!"

As he said this, he took out a jade scroll and handed it over.

This was a copy Zhou Xun had prepared in advance. With this complete Nurtured Talisman Technique, the revival of their Celestial Talisman Sect should be achievable in the future.

"This is... the complete Nurtured Talisman Technique!" Luo Yuancheng was overjoyed.

"Indeed, when I was young, I acquired this technique by chance, which was greatly beneficial to me. Now encountering someone from the Celestial Talisman Sect, it feels right to return it!"

"On behalf of the Celestial Talisman Sect, I thank Master!" Luo Yuancheng bowed to the ground in respect.

Currently, he also holds the position of Sect Leader of the Celestial Talisman Sect, as Master Qianfu hopes that this role will help him hone his management skills.

"No need for such formality, this technique originally came from your ancestors!" Zhou Xun waved his hand dismissively.

Alright, you should study this well here, and in three days, I will explain it to you again.

With that, Zhou Xun turned and entered the cultivation room.

Once inside, Zhou Xun removed his robe, revealing a fair upper body,

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, forming hand seals and pointing at himself. Soon, a pained expression flashed across his face.

"Zzzz—"

Threads of purple thunder arc traversed over his body surface, permeating inward, causing his entire body to emit a faint purplish hue.

This was precisely the body refining secret technique from the Purple Sky Thunder Technique — the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique!

Having previously broken through to the Nascent Soul, his physical body had unknowingly reached the Ninth Layer, comparable to a Tier Three High-Grade Demon Beast.

But it still lagged behind his mana cultivation.

However, with his current Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, the power of his thunder skill was significantly enhanced,

Thus greatly improving the efficiency of tempering his physique.

Three days passed in a flash,

Zhou Xun gradually withdrew his power, the purple hue on his body surface slowly faded, revealing his original skin.

It was fair as jade, without the slightest blemish, beneath the surface, there seemed to be a faint sound of thunder arcs.

"Not bad, at this pace, it will take at most a decade or so to reach the Ninth Layer Peak!"

This is the advantage of entering the Nascent Soul Stage; if he were still in the Core Formation Stage, it would probably take decades.

With a swift movement, his robe flew up and was donned instantly,

Exiting the cultivation room, Luo Yuancheng was fully focused on drawing a talisman at that moment, shortly after, the talisman was completed, and he formed hand seals with both hands,

Pointing at the talisman,

A light merged into it, exactly the Nurtured Talisman Magical Technique.

However, the next moment, a slight explosion sound came, the talisman blew apart, turning into a flame and burning to ashes.

Luo Yuancheng couldn’t help feeling a bit discouraged,

"Haha, it’s normal for an initial try not to succeed!"

"Master, you’ve finished your retreat!" At this time, Luo Yuancheng finally noticed that his Master had been standing behind him for a while and quickly bowed in salute.

"Come, let me explain the key points of this Nurtured Talisman Technique to you!"

"First of all..."

Zhou Xun sat down and thoroughly explained the nuances of executing the Nurtured Talisman Technique, the subtleties of spiritual and mana circuit operations,

He even personally demonstrated,

Luo Yuancheng finally gained some understanding, then continued trying, refining, executing, failing,

And then Zhou Xun explained and demonstrated again...

...

Ten days later,

After Luo Yuancheng completed drawing a talisman, he placed it steadily on the table, then formed hand seals with both hands, pointing at the talisman,

A spirit light flew out, instantaneously striking it,

Immediately afterward, this spirit light flickered several times, ultimately merging in, and the talisman stabilized, then with a gesture, the talisman was absorbed into his dantian.

Seeing this, Luo Yuancheng was overjoyed,

"Master, I succeeded!"

Zhou Xun also nodded slightly, continuously nodding his head.

"Good, as long as it is nurtured for several years, the potency of this talisman will greatly increase, you have finally mastered this secret technique!"

"In this way, I can leave with peace of mind!"

By reckoning the time, it’s only a day until the half-month period promised to True Monarch Iron Mountain,

Next, he intends to go to Ringless Island to collect the ’Jun Mang’ short spear, and then head to Sea Suppression Immortal City to exchange for spirit medicine.
