Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Improving Spiritual Root Qualification

When Zhou Xun heard the news about the exchange meeting, he was moved. This was undoubtedly a rare opportunity.

He thought for a moment, an interested look on his face, and said:

"I naturally don't want to miss such a grand event. Shopkeeper Ji, I wonder what's so special about this exchange? What kinds of treasures will be exchanged?"

Seeing Zhou Xun's interest, Shopkeeper Ji became more alert, leaned forward slightly, and introduced enthusiastically:

"Master Zhou, you may not know that this exchange fair is jointly held by our Jinyuan Pavilion and several major forces."

“By then, not only will the immortal cultivators from all over Dajin gather here, but even some powerful people from other continents will come.”

"The treasures exchanged are of various types, ranging from precious cultivation techniques, high-level magic weapons, to rare natural treasures."

"Moreover, the exchange fair also has specialized appraisers who can ensure the authenticity and quality of the treasures."

Zhou Xun nodded slightly, thinking secretly in his heart that if it was true as Shopkeeper Ji said, then this exchange meeting was definitely not to be missed.

Perhaps there, he could not only find the Five-Leaf Spirit Heart Vine, but also harvest other treasures that were beneficial to his cultivation.

"When will the exchange meeting be held?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Half a year from now, the exchange meeting will be officially held. At that time, Lord Zhou can just come to my Jinyuan Pavilion!"

"Oh, this is the token from the exchange meeting. Please keep it safe, Lord!"

As he spoke, he handed over another jade talisman.

"Thank you!"

Afterwards, Zhou Xun left Jinyuan Pavilion.

However, he did not return, but went to the Secret Treasury of Dajin. Although there was no such thing in Jinyuan Pavilion, there might be one here.

About half an hour later, he finally arrived in front of the Secret Treasury.

This is a vast complex of buildings with a simple and heavy architectural style, exuding a majestic atmosphere.

There is a very tall memorial archway at the entrance, with five large characters "Da Jin Mi Ku Si" inscribed on it.

After Zhou Xun took out the token, a Jindan-stage manager came to greet him.

"Greetings, Lord Zhou. Please follow me to the elegant room and wait. The steward will be very happy to hear that you are coming." A manager of the Secret Treasury Department came forward with the cultivation level of the Jindan stage.

Zhou Xun nodded slightly:

"Okay, then lead the way!" Zhou Xun nodded.

Then, under the guidance of the middle-aged steward, they walked through the long corridor and finally arrived in front of a room numbered A09.

"Senior, please!"

Zhou Xun stepped in.

The room was not big, only about 60 to 70 meters in size, and the decoration was indeed very elegant, like the study of a great scholar in the mortal world.

A plate of fragrant incense was also lit inside, which was refreshing!

There are several antique paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall.

They all depict some fairyland landscapes, spiritual plants and exotic beasts. Judging from the lively brushstrokes and the faint fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from them, they are definitely not ordinary works, but should have been created by a great calligrapher and painter in the world of cultivation.

Some classics are neatly placed on the bookshelf nearby. When you open them, you will find that they record some anecdotes from the world of cultivation or experiences in cultivation.

At this moment, two graceful maids came over with two cups of spiritual tea and placed them on the table next to Zhou Xun.

After bowing, he slowly retreated.

Zhou Xun then sat down, picked up the spiritual tea, and slowly tasted it.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea, I heard a steady sound of footsteps.

Then the door was gently pushed open, and a deacon dressed in gorgeous brocade robes walked in.

He has a fair face and no beard, but his eyes reveal shrewdness and wisdom. A powerful spiritual energy faintly emanates from his body, and he has reached the early Nascent Soul stage!

"Deacon Zhao Xuan from the Secret Treasury Department pays his respects to Palace Master Zhou!" Deacon Zhao Xuan bowed slightly.

"Deacon Zhao, long time no see!" Zhou Xun said with a slight smile.

Hearing that Zhou Xun still remembered him, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel flattered.

At this time, he naturally knew about the legend about Zhou Xun, who had killed several fourth-rank upper-grade ghost kings in a row.

A famous existence in both the human and ghost worlds!

"Master Zhou is here, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"You're too polite, sir!" Zhou Xun waved his hand and then got down to business.

"I came here today to look for a spiritual object called 'Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine'. I wonder if it is in the secret vault?"

"Please wait for a moment, Lord Palace Master. I will check something!"

Zhao Xuan said, patting his waist.

He took out a golden book and placed it in front of him.

"This is the treasure list of my secret treasury. It shows the inventory, corresponding quantity and exchange requirements of all treasures!"

"As long as I probe with my spiritual sense, I can see everything clearly!"

After a while, he raised his head and looked apologetic:

"Master Zhou, you came at an unfortunate time. The treasure you need was exchanged two years ago!"

"It's been replaced again!"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Zhou Xun's eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan quickly said:

"If the Palace Master trusts me, I will keep an eye on it for you. If this item is ever put into the warehouse, I will inform the Palace Master immediately!"

"In that case, please!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun took out his communication talisman, handed it to Zhao Xuan, and then stood up to say goodbye. Zhao Xuan personally sent Zhou Xun to the outside of the secret library.

Time flies, and soon half a year has passed. It is the day of the Jinyuan Pavilion's once-in-a-decade exchange meeting.

Arriving at Jinyuan Pavilion,

From a distance, I could see Shopkeeper Ji standing at the door welcoming guests.

"Lord Zhou is here!" Ji Yu laughed when he saw Zhou Xun coming.

"We are flattered that Manager Ji has come to greet us personally!" Zhou Xun returned the greeting with a bow, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then walked in, led by a servant.

I went straight up the stairs to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor is a huge hall, which is over sixty meters wide, more than enough to accommodate two to three hundred people!

When Zhou Xun entered, there were already sixty or seventy people sitting inside, most of them were in the middle Nascent Soul stage or above, and there were even a dozen late Nascent Soul cultivators.

"It seems that what Shopkeeper Ji said about the exchange meeting is of extremely high standards. This is indeed true!"

Then, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation for this exchange meeting.

After all, an old Yuanying monster of this level would definitely have some good stuff in his hands!

Zhou Xun found an empty seat and sat down.

He didn't know most of the people around him. After all, after he came to Dajin, he basically stayed at home and rarely went out to communicate.

"My name is Hu Yanhai, nice to meet you, Lord Zhou!" Just then, a round-faced, bearded young man next to Zhou Xun, who looked to be in his early thirties, smiled and greeted him. He had the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist, you recognize me," Zhou Xun bowed and asked in surprise?

"Hahaha, Palace Master Zhou killed several high-grade ghost kings on the front line of the Western Desert. The news has spread among the top leaders of our Dajin!" said the young man with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Huyan, you are too kind. I am just Zhou Xun. He waved his hand modestly with a gentle smile on his face. "It was just a coincidence that I did what I could."

Hu Yanhai shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration, "Palace Master Zhou is too modest. He was able to kill several fourth-rank upper-grade ghost kings by himself. This kind of strength is also top-notch among the Yuanying cultivators in my Great Jin Dynasty."

"In the future, if Lord Zhou needs any help, just ask. I, Hu Yanhai, will definitely not refuse."

Zhou Xun's heart was moved. Hu Yanhai was a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. He must have certain power and connections in Dajin.

If I can make friends with him, it will be a great help to me.

At that moment, he began to talk to Huyan Hai enthusiastically. After some communication, he learned that Huyan Hai came from an ancient immortal cultivation sect in Youzhou, Dajin, and was quite famous in Dajin.

As the two chatted, half an hour passed quietly and the seats on the fourth floor were basically full.

Just then, Ji Yu walked in from the entrance.

Straight to the middle.

He first bowed to everyone around him, and then said:

"Thank you all for your consideration and for participating in this exchange. The rules remain the same. All of you will come on stage one by one to display your own treasures and the treasures you wish to exchange!"

“After the exchange meeting, there will be an exchange meeting!”

"At the same time, our Jinyuan Pavilion will also take out a Dingyuan Pill for exchange this time, and the time will be set in the middle of the exchange and after it is over!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was delighted.

Dingyuan Pill is one of the pills that helps the cultivators in the middle stage of Yuanying to advance to the later stage. Although it is not the most powerful one,

But it is also extremely precious!

The young man next to Zhou Xun also became excited and sent a message to Zhou Xun:

"This time, Jinyuan Pavilion was so generous that they even took out Dingyuan Pills!"

"This time, I will start by throwing out some ideas."

Ji Yu patted his waist and took out a fist-sized stone. The surface of the stone was uneven and dark in color. It looked unremarkable at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could find that there was a faint flow of spatial force on it.

"This is the Boundary Breaking Stone," Ji Yu introduced with a smile.

"Although it looks unremarkable, it has magical effects. If it is placed in a space restricted area, such as a forbidden space treasure area,

"With the infusion of spiritual power, it can temporarily break through the space barrier and help fellow Taoists escape from difficulties. The highest bidder will win. The starting price is six top-grade spiritual stones."

As soon as Ji Yu finished speaking, many cultivators in the audience showed interest.

The value of the Boundary-Breaking Stone is self-evident for cultivators who often explore dangerous places and enter and exit various secret realms and ruins.

"Seven top-grade spirit stones!"

A middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with a thin figure and wearing a green shirt was the first to make a bid. There was a blazing light flashing in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was determined to get the Boundary Breaking Stone.

In his opinion, with this boundary-breaking stone, he would be more protected the next time he entered the secret realms blocked by the power of space.

"Eight dollars!" Someone immediately raised the price. The one who spoke was a graceful and elegant woman. She raised her head slightly with a hint of pride in her eyes, as if she was extremely confident in her financial resources.

The price continued to rise amid the shouting of the crowd, and was finally sold for ten top-grade spirit stones!

Behind Shopkeeper Ji was a tall, ruddy-faced old man.

He waved his hand, and a palm-sized transparent jade floated in the air, emitting extremely rich spiritual energy.

"A fourth-grade middle-grade spiritual eye jade weighing seven taels and nine cents can be exchanged for a elixir that can improve the mana of the Nascent Soul stage. Of course, if you don't have elixirs, spiritual stones will also do, but you need at least fifteen pieces of top-grade spiritual stones!"

"A spiritual eye thing!" Zhou Xun was surprised.

This is an excellent item for cultivating spiritual veins. He had previously received the inheritance of a spiritual vein master in the Tianxing Zhenjun Cave Mansion.

This treasure has been recorded.

If there are enough spiritual eyes, even a fourth-grade upper-grade spiritual vein can be cultivated.

Although the old man's spiritual eye jade is only of the fourth-grade mid-quality, it is still very good for improving the spiritual veins!

"If the competition wasn't too fierce, I could have taken the photo!" Zhou Xun thought.

First, the spiritual veins of the cave on the lake island are still slowly recovering. If I can get this spiritual eye jade, I think I can be promoted to the fourth-level middle grade within a few decades. "

Secondly, Zhou Xun already has three-digit top-grade spirit stones in his hand, and he rarely has the opportunity to use them on weekdays. Today is a good opportunity to exchange them for some useful treasures!

"I'm building the Tianji House, and I'm missing a piece. I want this Spirit Eye Jade, but I don't have any elixirs. I do have a lot of top-grade spirit stones!"

At this time, a middle-aged man in a red robe stood up, walked to the old man, and took out a bottle of elixir.

"Fifteen dollars is too cheap to exchange for this Spirit Eye Jade. I'll give you sixteen dollars!"

An old man in a black robe and with a hoarse voice said,

"Hu Daniu, what do you mean?" The middle-aged man in red robe was furious.

"You are a casual cultivator without a temple to stay in, what use is there for this Spirit Eye Jade!"

"Hehe, don't bother me about this, I bought it for my own use. If you can't afford the spirit stones, just leave!"

The old man in black robe chuckled, making it clear that he wanted to argue with the middle-aged man in red robe.

"Okay, okay, I'll offer you 17 top-grade spirit stones, are you still going to follow me?" the red-robed middle-aged man said coldly.

"Seventeen dollars, but I can't afford it, so I'll give it to you!" The old man in black robe laughed and retreated.

Just when the middle-aged man thought he was about to take the photo, Zhou Xun stood up, bowed to the people around him, and then spoke:

"I'll give you eighteen spirit stones!"

The red-robed man was furious when he heard this, and thought someone was targeting him again, so he turned around and saw that it was Zhou Xun, and he immediately stopped.

"It turns out to be Palace Master Zhou. Since the Palace Master also takes a fancy to this Spirit Eye Jade, I will step down!" After saying this, he sat down with a smile.

Therefore, Bie Zhouxun successfully obtained this spiritual eye jade with nineteen top-grade spiritual stones.

Next, other monks also came on stage to show off their treasures.

A cultivator took out a bottle of rare elixir and wanted to exchange it for high-quality materials;

There was also a cultivator who took out a unique secret manual of martial arts, hoping to exchange it for suitable refining materials.

Zhou Xun watched quietly from the audience, thinking in his mind what kind of treasure he should take out.

He came here today for only two purposes.

The main one is the "Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine", and the second is the fourth-level middle-grade spiritual medicine,

There are hundreds of high-level monks gathered here, so the possibility of exchanging this item is very high.

As the exchange progressed, it was finally Zhou Xun's turn to go on stage.

"Thank you, fellow Taoists. I'll look for you next week."

"I am here this time to ask for a treasure called 'Five-Leaf Spiritual Heart Vine'. If anyone has this treasure, please state your conditions."

"I believe you all know about my time in the Western Desert. I have a lot of contribution points left now, which can be exchanged for a lot of treasures in the Secret Treasury!"
