Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 245: Chapter 175: No Wealth Without Windfalls!

Two days later, a milky white flying ship, carrying an elder and a youth, entered Wangchuan Lake.

One of them, a purple-robed elder with white hair and a long beard, had a face like crown jade, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

The other was a young man in white, with a handsome and elegant appearance, standing tall and straight with his hands behind his back.

”Zhou Xun, this is your domain, Wangchuan Lake; indeed, what beautiful scenery!” the elder stood at the bow, stroking his beard, and praised as he looked at the lake’s beautiful view below.

”Uncle Master flatters me, this is all thanks to the management of my subordinate, White Spirit Fairy!”

Zhou Xun stood respectfully behind, cupping his hands in reply.

”Fortunately, the beast tide did not pass White Cloud Immortal City and attack the rear; otherwise, such beautiful scenery would likely have been destroyed by the flames of war!”

The elder sighed.

Before long, they arrived at the front of the Mountain Protection Array.

”This is... the Inverted Five Elements Array, no, it seems to have reduced most of the transformations, its power is less than a tenth of the full version, approximately at the Quasi-Third Tier level,”

”It’s a pity it doesn’t integrate the changes of the Five Elements, otherwise this array’s might could be enhanced by fifty percent!”

Master Nanyue looked at the array and commented with interest.

”Uncle Master has good eyesight, my Mountain Protection Array is named the ’Vajra Five Elements Array,’ said to be a simplified version of the Inverted Five Elements Array!”

Zhou Xun looked admiringly.

This Master Nanyue, a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array Master, indeed saw through the Vajra Five Elements Array’s origins and quickly found its shortcomings.

”It’s just a Quasi-Third Tier Array, naturally it’s no difficulty for me. Since I’m staying here, I’ll help you make some simple modifications to achieve its maximum potential!”

Master Nanyue said casually, seemingly regarding enhancing the array’s power as a trivial matter.

”Thank you, Uncle Master!” Zhou Xun was overjoyed.

Then he took out a token, activated it, and struck it towards the array,

revealing a passage a few zhang wide, just enough for the flying ship to pass through.

In a moment, the flying ship landed on Lake Heart Island.

”This junior, Song Yiqing, has met the senior!” At this time, a woman in a palace skirt slowly approached, came to the elder’s side, and bowed.

Zhou Xun was also very pleased to see Song Yiqing return safely.

”No need for formalities!” the elder nodded slightly, moved his finger, and lifted Song Yiqing up.

Regarding Song Yiqing’s identity, along the journey, Zhou Xun had already introduced her to Master Nanyue.

”You may leave for now. I will take Uncle Master for a tour!” Zhou Xun said to Song Yiqing.

”Okay, I shall take my leave!” Song Yiqing nodded and then left.

”Uncle Master, please stay here. I will arrange for the master’s affairs to be announced in the major markets of Xui Country, and they will surely come upon seeing it!”

Zhou Xun said.

”Very well!” Master Nanyue nodded.

Immediately, Zhou Xun rebuilt a cave mansion on the island for Master Nanyue.

Returning to his own cave mansion, Song Yiqing was already waiting there.

”Husband, who was that senior just now?” Song Yiqing asked.

”Oh, that’s Master Nanyue, whom I’ve mentioned to you, a close friend of my master, who has come to Xui Country to assist us this time!”

Zhou Xun held Song Yiqing’s slender fingers and said slowly.

”Isn’t that a senior at the Core Formation Stage!” Song Yiqing exclaimed.

”That’s right.”

Zhou Xun nodded, then turned to ask:

”By the way, how was your journey back, was it smooth?”

”When you asked us to return to Wangchuan Lake, we hurried all the way and didn’t encounter any obstacles, reaching Wangchuan Lake in five days!”

”I temporarily arranged Uncle Erniu’s family on Turtle Island and Jingsong and the others on Fish Mouth Island!”

These are two islands within Wangchuan Lake, each with a Tier One Spirit Vein.

”No problem, adapting to circumstances in urgent matters is fine, I’ll visit them tomorrow!”

What’s important now is that everyone has safely and smoothly arrived at Wangchuan Lake.

While talking, night fell on the two of them.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xun went to his cultivation room.

Both his cave mansion and cultivation room were equipped with restrictions to prevent spying, so even with Master Nanyue’s profound cultivation, he couldn’t forcefully break through.

Speaking of which, after killing Master Yun Feng that day, Zhou Xun was busy counting the treasures in Xing Huai’an’s storage bag, influenced by the surprise of obtaining a Crystal Condensing Pill.

For a while, he forgot to check the spoils of war.

Later, meeting Master Nanyue made it even more impossible to count them in his presence, so it was postponed until now.

He closed the door of the cultivation room and activated all the restrictions.

Only then did Zhou Xun take out the two storage bags he obtained from Master Yun Feng.

In Xing Huai’an’s place, Zhou Xun had seen too many treasures of heaven and earth, raising his threshold instead.

Seeing these two storage bags, he felt rather calm.

After all, they were only Fake Pill Cultivators, naturally incomparable to Master White Cloud’s century of treasures.

Opening the first storage bag, he poured out all the treasures inside.

With a glance, a large batch of demon beast materials came into view, all at Tier Two or above.

Many were at Tier Two High-Grade Level.

”It seems I won’t lack materials for talisman making!”

Likely obtained during this beast tide.

Spirit Stones amounted to over seventy thousand, greatly replenishing Zhou Xun’s previously tight funds.

Not a single talisman was found.

But that was expected, having all been consumed in the battle with Zhou Xun.

There were five bottles of pills, all with functions such as healing, replenishing mana, and detoxification; no Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir was seen.

Besides this, there were two pieces of Tier Three Low-Grade magical treasure materials, valued significantly,

the rest were some personal clothing of Master Yufeng.

Altogether, this storage bag’s yields exceeded fifteen thousand Spirit Stones, truly a substantial gain.

Of course, this doesn’t include Master Yun Feng’s most prized magical treasure.

The Golden Cyan Sharp Claw Treasure had fallen to the ground after Master Yun Feng’s demise, losing its mana support, and was picked up by Zhou Xun and stored in his storage bag, so it wasn’t included in the count.

Following this, Zhou Xun opened the second storage bag.

He had no particular expectations for it, as the first one already had such yields; the second storage bag would most likely contain ordinary items.

However, what he found took him by surprise.

The harvest in this storage bag was not small at all.

Over eighty thousand Spirit Stones, one piece of Tier Three Low-Grade magical treasure material, and two bottles of Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Pills.

The various other materials altogether were valued at no less than fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

The most astonishing to Zhou Xun was a palm-sized, cyan shield among them.

”Isn’t this the Tier Three Low-Grade Defense Magical Treasure driven by Master Qingtan that day!”

Zhou Xun was surprised but soon understood.

This second storage bag must have belonged to Master Qingtan, and this treasure naturally was placed inside, prepared to be taken away together to Hand over to him later at the Cloud Light Sect.

Unexpectedly, now it was his to benefit from.

Combined with what he obtained from Xing Huai’an, he owned two attack-type magical treasures and two defense-type magical treasures in total.
