Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

When Zhou Xun saw Yu You's appearance, he was slightly startled and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that Yu You, who was once so arrogant, would appear in front of him in such an embarrassed state.

Yu You knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to look Zhou Xun in the eye.

His voice trembled slightly, not sure whether it was out of shame or anger:

"Master Zhou, I, Yu You, came here today to apologize to you. I was blinded by greed and went against you before. I hope you will forgive me!"

Zhou Xun had a calm expression as he looked at Yu You quietly, thinking secretly in his heart.

He knew very well that Yu You's sudden coming to ask for forgiveness must have been prompted by the elders of the Frost Sect.

But he didn't expect that the leader of a sect would be abandoned by the sect.

"Yu You, get up."

Zhou Xun said lightly,

"Since you already know your mistake, I will forgive you this time. But you must remember, if it happens again, I will never show mercy."

Yu Youru felt as if he had been pardoned, but he did not dare to stand up. Instead, he looked at the Great Elder of the Frost Sect standing beside him.

The old man nodded slightly:

"Thank you, Lord Zhou, for your generosity. On behalf of the entire Frost Sect, I would like to express our full support for all of Lord Zhou's decisions!"

Only then did Yu You dare to stand up.

"By the way, I heard that your Hanxue Sect has two fourth-level spirit veins besides Hanxue Mountain. I wonder if you can sell one to me?"

Zhou Xun said calmly,

As the most prominent sect in Jiangling Prefecture, Hanxue Sect has three fourth-level spiritual veins.

Two of them are of middle grade fourth level, and one is of lower grade fourth level.

The Great Elder's heart tightened slightly when he heard this. The fourth-level spiritual vein is a vital foundation for the Frost Sect, which is related to the sect's disciples' cultivation resources and future development.

If we lose one of them hastily, the impact on the sect will be extremely far-reaching, and will greatly weaken the strength of the entire sect.

However, now that Han Shuang Zong has just eased his relationship with Zhou Xun, if he directly refuses, it will probably make Zhou Xun unhappy, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.

You know, Zhou Xun is not an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this time, he had already inquired about Zhou Xun's record on the front line of the Western Desert. He was the one who killed several high-grade ghost kings.

In terms of merit, he was one of the top 30 people in the entire human world. How could he afford to offend him?

But the three spiritual veins of the sect, each of which is the foundation of the sect that has been acquired with great effort by several generations. If he loses one,

He will become the sect's sinner.

Thinking of this, he was still unwilling to give in so easily, so he forced a smile on his face and said:

"Master Zhou, to be honest, although our sect has three spiritual veins, each one is closely related to the sect's cultivation system and inheritance. If we rashly sell one, it will probably have a great impact on the cultivation of the sect's disciples."

"Please, Master Zhou, please consider that it is not easy for the disciples of the Frost Sect to practice and show some mercy. By the way, as for the conscription, my Frost Sect will definitely comply!"

Zhou Xun seemed to have expected this response. His expression remained unchanged and he continued calmly:

"Great Elder, I also know the importance of spiritual veins to the sect, but now that Jiangling Prefecture is in the process of development, resources from all sides are extremely scarce."

"If we can have a fourth-level spiritual vein, it will not only help the palace guards to practice, but also attract more people to come.

"Compared to one sect, this is a good thing that benefits the entire Jiangling Prefecture. Besides, I won't take it for nothing."

"Don't worry, everything will be at market price!"

Zhou Xun killed Master Bai Gu last time, and he had hundreds of top-grade spirit stones in his hand, so purchasing a fourth-order mid-grade spirit vein was naturally a piece of cake for him.

The Great Elder secretly groaned in his heart. What Zhou Xun said was indeed reasonable, but it was really difficult for the Frost Sect to give up a fourth-level spiritual vein.

He thought about it again and again, and said, "Master Zhou, your idea is certainly good."

"But this matter concerns the prosperity and decline of the sect. It is difficult for me to make the decision alone. I still need to discuss it with other elders. I wonder if the Palace Master can give me a few days?"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it, Great Elder, this matter is extremely important to Jiangling Prefecture, and I hope that the Frost Sect can put the overall situation first."

After returning to the Frost Sect, the Great Elder immediately summoned all the elders and informed everyone that Zhou Xun wanted to purchase a spiritual vein.

When the Third Elder heard this, his expression suddenly became serious:

"Grand Elder, the fourth-level spiritual vein is the foundation of our sect. How can we sell it so easily? If we lose one, not only will the resources for our disciples to cultivate be reduced, but the foundation of our sect will also be greatly reduced."

The other elders also nodded, expressing their agreement with the third elder's opinion.

The fourth elder also frowned and said, "But Zhou Xun is now very powerful. If we refuse, I'm afraid he will be dissatisfied with us again. The Frost Sect has finally eased the relationship with him. Is it going to fall into crisis again?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

The Great Elder sighed and said:

"I understand the difficulty, but the matter of the spirit vein is of great importance. We cannot make a hasty decision. Let's think about it again. Is there any solution that can satisfy both parties?"

"It can both meet Zhou Xun's requirements and minimize the impact on the sect."

"I think we should meet Lord Zhou's request and give him the fourth-grade mid-quality Yuanming Mountain!" At this time, Liu Zhi expressed a different opinion.

“Not only is it not for sale, it’s being given away for free!”

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Liu Zhi, are you crazy? "

The third elder jumped up first, his eyes wide open like bells, and roared angrily,

"That's a fourth-grade middle-grade spirit vein, given away for free. Do you know what this means? This is the foundation accumulated by our Frost Sect over hundreds of years.

"If we just give them away, how will our sect train disciples in the future and compete with other sects?"

Liu Zhi looked calm, and bowed calmly, signaling the Third Elder to stay calm. Then he slowly glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Elders, please don't get angry. Just listen to me. I believe everyone is aware of Zhou Xun's current strength and status."

"He killed several high-grade ghost kings on the front line of the Western Desert, and even the Emperor Jin praised him highly,"

"And he is only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. What is this? This is definitely a seed of the Divine Transformation Stage."

"Even if I can't break through, I can't escape the title of one of the top ten cultivators!"

"If such a person exists in Jiangling Prefecture, he will be the absolute master. Although our Frost Sect is strong, we will never be able to compete with him."

The fifth elder frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "That being said, even if that's the case, there's no need to give him such a precious spirit vein for free, right?"

"Even if we want to please him, selling it to him at the market price is a way of showing our sincerity."

Liu Zhi shook his head and explained:

"Fifth Elder, you may not know that since Zhou Xun asked for the spirit vein, it means that he values ​​it very much."

"If we sell it to him at the market price, he will think it is just an ordinary transaction.

"The relationship between us and him is still based on interests, and it is difficult to truly gain his trust and protection. However, if we give him the Yuanming Mountain Spiritual Vein for free, the meaning will be completely different."

The elder seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded slightly: "Go on."

A trace of certainty flashed in Liu Zhi's eyes, and then he said:

"Giving away spiritual veins for free is to show our Frost Sect's sincerity and loyalty to Lord Zhou, and to let him know that we are willing to support him unconditionally."

“In this way, he will definitely look at us differently, and in the future in Jiangling Prefecture, our Hanshuang Sect will be able to receive his full protection.

"With Zhou Xun as his backer, he can not only avoid the covetousness and invasion of other forces, but also obtain more resources and opportunities in the process of developing Jiangling Prefecture. How can these benefits be compared with a spiritual vein?"

"Besides, the fact that my Frost Sect is now so powerful and has three spiritual veins is closely related to the fact that we devoted all our efforts to Master Bai Gu back then."

"Now another future top ten monk is before us,"

When Liu Zhi said this, he glanced at every elder present with a sharp gaze and emphasized his tone:

"Don't you see the situation clearly?"

The Third Elder's face was still gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "But this fourth-grade middle-grade spirit vein is too precious. I really don't want to give it away like this!"

"Is there no other way to not offend Zhou Xun and at the same time preserve our spiritual veins?"

The person in charge of Yuanming Mountain now is the third elder. His family has also developed in this mountain, so naturally he is unwilling to give it up.

Liu Zhi shook his head slightly and advised earnestly:

"Third Elder, the current situation does not allow us to have too many choices. Since Palace Master Zhou has spoken, it means he is determined to win."

"I don't need to tell you what the consequences are of offending one of the Ten Great Monks!"

"But..." Before the Third Elder could finish his words, he was interrupted by the First Elder.

"Since you are undecided, please vote. I think what the Fifth Elder said makes a lot of sense!"

"Our Frost Sect's primary goal is to survive and develop. The presence of Lord Zhou is indeed a rare opportunity."

“As for the spiritual veins, although they are precious, as long as the sect exists, there may be a chance to find them again in the future.”

"I agree with the Fifth Elder's idea!" The Second Elder, who had been silent for a long time, voted in favor.

"I also think what Lao Wu said makes sense!" At this time, the fourth elder also expressed his agreement.

"I agree too!" The Sixth Elder nodded.

So the result was obvious. Except for the third elder, everyone chose to agree, and everyone finally decided to implement Liu Zhi's plan.

Two days later, Zhou Xun received the Great Elder and the Fifth Elder of the Frost Sect in the cave residence of Jiangling Prefecture.

The two were selected as representatives to visit Zhou Xun.

"What? You want to give me Yuanming Mountain!" Zhou Xun was also very surprised when he heard their decision.

You know, his original idea was to use Yuyou's matter to purchase a fourth-level low-grade spiritual vein from them.

It was used to house the disciples he had sent from the Eastern Wasteland.

After all, he only had less than sixty years left as the Lord of Jiangling Prefecture.

But now, the Frost Sect was willing to offer a fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual vein, so Zhou Xun naturally would not refuse.

Don’t miss the benefits that come to your door.

However, he was quite impressed by the Frost Sect's move. It was extremely rare to be able to see the situation clearly.

In this way, if he wants to do something in the future, the Frost Sect will definitely cooperate with him.

"Well, give them this chance!"

But he remembered someone again, so he asked casually:

"By the way, why don't you see Sect Master Yu Youyu?"

"Brother Yu felt ashamed and has committed suicide!" Liu Zhi said slowly. Since he wanted to curry favor with Zhou Xun,

Of course, we must take the initiative to clear up the previous grudges!

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded slightly.

"It's such a pity, but since you two are so enthusiastic, I will shamelessly accept this Yuanming Mountain. If the Frost Sect has any problems in the future, you can come to me!"

The Great Elder and Liu Zhi were overjoyed when they heard this. This way, they had established a connection. This spiritual vein was not wasted.

Liu Zhi continued:

"Don't worry, Lord Zhou. When you come here, several senior members of our sect have already gone to Yuanming Mountain to evacuate the disciples. The transaction will be completed in half a month at most!"

In the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, the cave on the lake island,

After taking over Yuanming Mountain from the Frost Sect, Zhou Xun went there in person and set up a fourth-grade, superior magic array.

At the same time, he moved the teleportation array in his cave to somewhere in Yuanming Mountain.

Then he returned to the Eastern Wasteland.

After many years, he once again gathered many of his men.

On this day,

Rays of light streaked across the sky above Wangchuan Lake and finally landed on the island in the center of the lake.

After more than two hundred years of development, this island has become the most mysterious existence in the entire Eastern Wasteland.

Even Zhou Xun's direct disciples such as Xu Shaoqing and Wang Shun could not enter this place without Zhou Xun's summons.

This time, Zhou Xun summoned them and they were able to set foot here.

"Third and Fourth Brothers, the spiritual energy of our master's island seems to have improved. It seems that his attainments in formations have made another breakthrough!"

A beautiful woman in her early twenties, wearing a blue palace dress, smiled and spoke, her voice as sweet as a lark, extremely pleasant to the ear.

It was Zhou Xun’s fifth disciple, Xu Shaoqing. Now, she was already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage!

As Zhou Xun's direct disciple, it is almost certain that she will break through to the late Jindan stage in the future. Even if she is at the Yuanying stage, there is still a glimmer of chance.

She looked at the lake island now, which was completely different from what it was back then.

The rich spiritual energy that is almost turning into mist, and the precious spiritual plants scattered everywhere, make this place look like a fairy cave.

"Master has not appeared in many years. Now he has summoned me, but I don't know why."

At this time, Wang Shun looked like a middle-aged man, and he became extremely stable.

Now, with the dual support of Wang Erniu and Zhou Xun, he successfully formed the elixir, and with the blessing of the precious spiritual objects provided by Wang Erniu,

Condensed into a top-grade real pill!

The future potential is not small, no less than Xu Shaoqing's!

"Whatever it is, since it's a rare opportunity for me to come in this time, I have to go to Master's Jingxin Pavilion to have a look. I've been craving for the fourth-grade Renshui pear for a long time!" Lin Youshan on the other side said with a grin.

Soon, Zhou Xun's six disciples gathered in the cave on the island in the middle of the lake. In addition, there were also Xing Huaian, Yuan Paner and other high-level officials of Wangchuan Island!

While everyone was talking to each other, Zhou Xun slowly walked in. After some greetings, Zhou Xun stated his purpose.

"I summoned you today to discuss the trip to Dajin."
