Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 695: Chapter 50: Setting Out, Returning to the Treasure Land!

Zhou Xun stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "Daoist Yuan, thank you for today, Zhou Mou has other matters at hand and won’t disturb further."

True Monarch Yuangu also stood up to return the gesture: "Daoist Zhou, no need for courtesy. Should you need anything in the future, feel free to find Yuan Mou." Zhou Xun nodded slightly, turned around, and walked toward the cave mansion’s door.

After he exited the door, he swiftly left the place.

Along the way, Zhou Xun’s vigilance never waned; he quietly pondered True Monarch Yuangu’s actions, feeling that there was something odd about the matter.

But for the moment, he couldn’t figure it out, so he had no choice but to temporarily put it aside.

...

Meanwhile, inside True Monarch Yuangu’s cave mansion, True Monarch Feng Yan also walked out from the cultivation room.

"Why not just directly seize Zhou Xun and take the Phoenix Butterfly?" True Monarch Feng Yan asked in confusion.

True Monarch Yuangu smiled slightly and said, "After all, Zhou Xun is a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and his momentum is strong. Acting recklessly will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, my goal is not merely this single Phoenix Butterfly..."

True Monarch Feng Yan expressed his doubt: "What do you mean?"

A gleam flashed in True Monarch Yuangu’s eyes: "You’ll know by then. All right, you should hurry back as well. Avoid coming here on usual days, so as not to expose our connection!"

"Yes!" True Monarch Feng Yan dared not ask further and retreated directly to leave!

...

Returning to his own mansion, Zhou Xun immediately activated the defense array within.

He sat inside the cultivation room and took out the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman,

sensed it with Divine Sense, and carefully examined every inch of it,

yet surprisingly found nothing amiss.

Then Zhou Xun also took out his Small Divination Compass, formed a hand seal, and pointed it towards the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman,

but still discovered nothing!

"Could it be that True Monarch Yuangu really bears no ulterior motives?"

After all, even his Divination Technique detected no issues.

"Perhaps I really overthought it!" Having reassured himself, Zhou Xun put his mind at ease.

After confirming there were no issues with the Forbidden-Breaking Talisman, he began organizing his magical treasures and elixirs, planning next to head to True Monarch Celestial Star’s Cave Mansion to obtain that inheritance.

Then he could establish a teleportation network in the Eastern Wilderness akin to the Central Continent, connecting Tianhan City, Celestial Feather Sect, and Wangchuan Lake.

Meanwhile, that Spirit Vein Master inheritance could also aid him in elevating Wangchuan Lake’s Spirit Vein to Tier Four.

Thus his main body could continue residing in the Eastern Wilderness.

...

Reception hall,

"Master, you called for me!"

The Spirit Turtle Red Noon respectfully saluted.

During its stay in the Immortal City, the old turtle diligently guarded the gate, earning recognition for its earnest efforts; outside of duties, it devoted all its time to studying alchemy skill.

"I hear you’ve managed to refine Tier Three Low-Grade Elixirs!" Zhou Xun inquired.

"Thanks to the master’s fortunes, two months ago, I fortunately refined the Yuan Condensing Pill, finally achieving Tier Three Low-Grade Alchemist status,"

"Yet compared to the master, my achievements are nothing but the difference between a firefly and the bright moon!"

The Spirit Turtle Red Noon respectfully replied.

These days, he felt that his master had become increasingly unfathomable,

With his current cultivation, facing Zhou Xun felt like standing before a towering, immense giant tree! If he had once harbored a thought of escape,

by now, he had completely resigned himself in admiration.

"You certainly know how to speak!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly,

"Tell me, have you encountered any difficulties in alchemy? Don’t hesitate to speak out. I happen to have time to guide you a bit!"

Nowadays, Zhou Xun was a Tier Four Low-Grade Alchemist, perfectly capable of advising the Spirit Turtle Red Noon.

Red Noon rejoiced at the words,

"Thank you, Master!"

Then promptly laid out all his confusions in alchemy.

Zhou Xun patiently guided him.

This continued for nearly two hours.

"Master’s alchemy insight is indeed profound. After your guidance, old turtle feels he can immediately aim for Tier Three Middle-Grade Alchemist status!"

The old turtle expressed astonishment, as if confronting some unparalleled master.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun felt slightly helpless and could only say:

"Enough, curb your expressions. Summoning you today had a second matter!"

"Master, please command!"

"Weren’t you always wanting to follow me outside? Now, coincidently, I have a trip to make; you will serve as my steed. How about it?" Zhou Xun stated slowly.

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon fervently nodded in approval,

"To serve as the master’s mount is my honor!"

His heart elated greatly,

’Looks like in the master’s eyes, I still hold a place. Now it’s my turn to make Feng Chong envious!’

’No way, I must chat with him properly to stop him always creeping over my head!’

Considering this, he thus spoke:

"When would master like to depart, so I may prepare accordingly!"

"Tomorrow then!" Zhou Xun contemplated briefly and said.

"Yes, old turtle bids farewell!"

...

Leaving the reception hall, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon immediately headed to Feng Chong’s chamber,

"Knock knock—"

At this moment, Feng Chong sat upright in his room, holding a jade scroll examining, researching the refinement of his lifebound magical treasure.

Demon Beasts after reaching Tier Four can assume human form, practice cultivation techniques, divine techniques, and even the Cultivation Hundred Skills of the Human Race,

Thus, they too emulate humans, refining their magical treasures.

For instance, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon possesses a Red Tortoise Shield, whose defense is remarkably impressive, comparable to Zhou Xun’s Profound Turtle Shield!

The jade scroll in his hand was obtained from Zhou Xun, containing everything related to refining magical treasures.

Hearing the knocks,

he thus rose and opened the door.
