Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 648: Chapter 27: Central Continent’s Number One Thunder Cultivator!

Shopkeeper Gao nodded upon hearing this.

"Since Fairy Jiang fancies this insect, it shall be yours!"

"I wonder if you might be interested in this last kind, the ’Five-Stars Child,’ a special spirit insect infused with the Five Elements Attributes!"

"No need, the Ice Soul Silkworm will suffice!" Jiang Wanning shook her head and asked,

"How many Spirit Stones does this insect cost?"

"Eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones will do!" Shopkeeper Gao said with a smile.

This was already the price of a Middle-Grade Magical Treasure, yet it could only buy two Ice Soul Silkworm eggs, indeed rather expensive.

After all, a Fireproof Robe made from the Ice Soul Silk sells for only three to four hundred thousand Spirit Stones at most!

"The price is higher because the Ice Soul Silkworm has the potential to advance!" Perhaps noticing Jiang Wanning’s displeasure, Shopkeeper Gao explained.

Mere eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones, even after bargaining, would only save a few thousand, losing one’s demeanor instead. So, Zhou Xun directly took out eighty High-Grade Spirit Stones,

handed them to Shopkeeper Gao, and upon confirmation, the transaction was completed.

After the transaction was finished, they didn’t linger any longer.

Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, Zhou Xun took out the Jade Box containing the ’Ice Soul Silkworm eggs’ and handed it to Jiang Wanning.

"Young Master, how could I let you spend so much!" Jiang Wanning said embarrassedly.

"It’s just a few insect eggs, no need to take it to heart; just accept them!" Zhou Xun waved his hand.

"You should cultivate them well. I remember in the ’Hundred Insects Scripture’, there seems to be a description of this insect and several secret techniques to promote its evolution,"

"Perhaps one day you can truly cultivate it into an Extreme Cold Celestial Silkworm!"

"Yes, thank you, Young Master!"

The two then discussed several methods of cultivating the insect before each going to practice their cultivation.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xun entered the Cultivation Room,

waved his hand, and retrieved a stack of forty Treasure Talisman Papers, preparing to refine them all into Tier Four Low-Grade Treasure Talismans.

Just then, the restriction of the Cultivation Room trembled.

This was a prearranged signal with the Spirit Turtle Red Noon, informing him if someone came to visit!

"Could it be someone is here for talisman making again?"

Zhou Xun, filled with doubt, returned the Talisman Paper into the Storage Bag and opened the door.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

Upon stepping out, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon greeted him respectfully,

"What is it?"

"True Monarch Thunder Prison is visiting and is currently waiting in the reception hall!" the old turtle replied with a bow.

"Alright, I’ll greet him personally!" Zhou Xun nodded.

True Monarch Thunder Prison visiting now is likely because of the ’Thunder Prison’, one of the Seven Forbidden Lands.

Upon reaching the reception hall, he saw a young man in a blue Magic Robe sitting and having tea, whose eyes were exceedingly sharp with a hint of Thunder Arcs flickering.

"Brother Lin, you are here, and I could not come out to greet you earlier, forgive me!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily and walked over with large strides, clasping his hands before True Monarch Thunder Prison,

"Brother Zhou, you’re too kind. I came unbidden, hoping not to disturb fellow Taoist!" True Monarch Thunder Prison reciprocated.

After a brief conversation, they began discussing official matters.

True Monarch Thunder Prison scanned the surroundings,

with a wave of his hand, a flash of blue light, and a translucent shield rose up, encasing the two, a Sound Insulation Shield indeed.

With True Monarch Thunder Prison’s current cultivation, unless a Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch was around, no one could eavesdrop on their conversation without alerting him.

"Brother Lin, have you come for this ’Thunder Prison expedition’?" Zhou Xun asked.

"That’s exactly why I’m here!" True Monarch Thunder Prison nodded and continued,

"A couple of days ago, ’True Monarch Hong Chuan’, stationed at the Southern Front, returned, so we’ve now gathered the five Thunder Cultivators needed for the expedition,"

"And the Lightning Fiend Membrane outside the forbidden ’Thunder Prison’ is currently weak, making it an ideal opportunity for us to seek treasures!"

"I estimate that the trip will take no more than three months before we return!"

"I came today to inform Brother Zhou to gather at my Cave Mansion in half a month, following which we will set off together!"

"Is it convenient for you, Brother Zhou?" True Monarch Thunder Prison asked slowly.

"Half a month..."

Zhou Xun pondered for a moment. Besides refining Treasure Talismans, he had no other pressing matters, and the time frame was sufficient,

so he nodded,

"No problem, I will certainly visit in half a month!" Zhou Xun said earnestly.

True Monarch Thunder Prison was delighted to hear this, clapping his hands in commendation!

"Excellent, excellent! I knew Brother Zhou would have no problems; this trip to the Thunder Prison will surely bring plentiful rewards!"

"I still have to notify two fellow Daoists, so I won’t take more of your time!"

True Monarch Thunder Prison spoke, stood up, and took his leave from Zhou Xun!

"Goodbye!"

Zhou Xun did not linger either, sending him to the Cave Mansion entrance, watching him depart.

...

After seeing off True Monarch Thunder Prison, Zhou Xun returned to the Cultivation Room,

and continued refining those sixteen Treasure Talismans,

He took out a Cushion, sat cross-legged on it, proceeded to take out a Tier One, Tier Four Low-Grade Calming Incense, a trophy from the day he killed True Monarch of Profound Control.

Calming his mind and spirit, he adjusted his state to the optimal condition.

Although he had made Tier Four Talismans several times, this was his first time refining Treasure Talismans, which was far more difficult than regular Talismans,

thus he prepared rather thoroughly.

Once his Essence, Qi, and Spirit reached their peak, Zhou Xun opened his eyes and tapped at his waist.

Several Spirit Lights fell onto the desk.

A box of Treasure Talisman Paper, containing forty-three pieces of Treasure Talisman Paper.

A glob of Tier Four Spiritual Ink, crafted mainly from the blood of Tier Four Demon Beasts, extremely precious, along with Zhou Xun’s High-Grade Magical Treasure level Talisman Pen,

this setup could be considered top-notch!
