Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 286: Chapter 34: Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Medicine!

Once Zhou Xun falls, any further disturbances caused by troublemakers will inevitably lead to chaos at the Golden Ape Valley frontline.

Right now, we are in a standoff with the Celestial Feather Sect, and any chaos.

The entire Golden Ape Valley frontline will surely collapse, and by then, they would only have to defend against the enemy under the gates of Juntian City.

In that case, I, the current Sect Leader, will become a sinner of the entire Cloud Light Sect!

After a moment of silence, Master Yun’an said:

”You have handled it well, we have already lost the opportunity to deal with the master of Wangchuan Lake!”

”The leaked plot clearly involves some Core Formation elders in the sect, and this matter requires the personal decision of Senior Brother Yun Yi!”

...

Golden Ape Valley Frontline.

Master Yun Yi quickly learned that his plot had been leaked.

After dismissing the messenger, Master Yun Yi sat alone in the chief seat, pondering for a long time, then got up and headed towards Master Jin Hong’s residence.

As one of the only three True Pill cultivators in the Cloud Valley Sect, Master Jin Hong’s residence was naturally exceptionally luxurious.

”Senior Brother has personally come, and I failed to greet you from afar, please forgive me!”

At the entrance of the cave mansion, Master Jin Hong came out.

Seeing Master Yun Yi’s visit, he showed no surprise, as if he had anticipated his arrival.

”We are fellow disciples, no need for formalities!” Master Yun Yi said with a cheerful smile.

”Hierarchy and order are rules set by Senior Brother himself, it’s natural for a junior brother to not defy them!” Master Jin Hong paid another salute.

Upon hearing this, Master Yun Yi smiled lightly without getting angry.

”Brother, won’t you invite me in to sit?”

”Oh, please, Senior Brother!”

Passing through the door of the cave mansion, a pond covering dozens of zhang came into view, with pavilions and waterside gazebos above.

In the surrounding waters, many lotus pods were growing.

”Brother, you have quite the taste!”

The two walked across a delicately carved Han White Marble arched bridge and sat in the pavilion.

”Seeing these scenes reminds me of the days under our Master’s tutelage!”

Over three hundred years ago, when Master Yun Yi had just broken through to True Pill, his Master, who was then the Grand Elder of the Cloud Light Sect, was an existence at the peak of Middle-Stage Core Formation!

”At that time, our Cloud Light Sect was the dominant force in all of Xui Country, with four True Pill cultivators, over ten Fake Pill cultivators, and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators,”

”Indeed, it was a truly prosperous scene!”

”But misfortune came unexpectedly, while exploring the Red Maple Secret Realm, my Master along with two other True Pill cultivators all fell!”

”For a time, I was the only True Pill cultivator bitterly supporting the entire Cloud Light Sect, and then Yue Country took the opportunity to invade!”

”At the most critical moment, the entire eastern part of Xui Country was completely lost!”

”I made alliances and sacrifices, giving up countless interests, and finally drove Yue Country out, stabilizing the situation!”

As Master Yun Yi spoke, his face was full of lament.

”Senior Brother is the restorer of our sect, I respect you greatly!” Master Jin Hong cupped his hands.

”Brother, you flatter me, I’m just a gatekeeper at best, barely keeping the sect from falling!”

”Moreover, my lifespan is limited, my only obsession is to ensure the continuation of the sect’s legacy, and when you take over the Cloud Light Sect in the future, never forget this point!”

Master Yun Yi said as he looked towards Master Jin Hong.

Currently, the Cloud Light Sect has only three True Pill cultivators.

With my limited lifespan, Master Jin Hong has gathered many people under his influence, becoming the dominant force in the Cloud Light Sect.

I initially thought handling the Zhou Xun matter would keep him in check.

Unexpectedly, this junior brother turned out to be so resolute, not yielding an inch.

For the future of the Cloud Light Sect, I am left with no choice!

I can’t just drive Master Jin Hong out; if I had enough lifespan, I wouldn’t have such concerns.

But now, I don’t have the time to train a True Pill cultivator to replace him.

Moreover, with the pressure of the Celestial Feather Sect in front, it’s unwise to self-sever one’s arm.

This is the reason for Master Yun Yi’s visit today.

”Brother has lived within the Cloud Light Sect since childhood, naturally hoping the sect’s legacy lasts for ten thousand years!”

”However, as a True Pill cultivator, Brother also has his own ideas about certain people and matters, if there’s ever any offence towards Senior Brother, please forgive me!”

Upon hearing this, Master Yun Yi sighed deeply.

”Regarding that person’s matter, let it be as I say this once, as for the rest, in the future let Brother make the decisions!”

Master Jin Hong was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Master Yun Yi was indicating his intention to delegate power.

”Everything will be as Senior Brother says, the matter of Zhou Xun is indeed my fault, please let Senior Brother handle it!”

With the support of Master Yun Yi, it wouldn’t be long before the Cloud Light Sect is under his sole command.

Securing the controlling power of the Cloud Light Sect in advance is worth giving up a promising junior.

The two soon chatted about cultivation matters before parting ways.

For Master Yun Yi, Master Jin Hong’s firmness this time left him with no choice but to delegate power for the future of the Cloud Light Sect.

As for Zhou Xun, he truly reminded Master Yun Yi of Master White Cloud back then.

He absolutely cannot allow the events of the White Cloud Immortal City to be repeated!

After this, the Cloud Light Sect seemed to extinguish their desire to deal with Zhou Xun.

Moreover, it felt as if they had forgotten about him entirely, with no further trace of the previous alchemy missions.

For the moment, Zhou Xun’s days became stable once again.

...

Time flew by, and in a blink, half a year passed.

In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun deployed the Spirit Wood True Technique, calling forth the Lifebound Spirit Plant he had nurtured for three years—the Guiyuan Grass.

At this moment, the Guiyuan Grass had grown to a height of about one foot.

It was entirely emerald green, with leaves that were crystalline and translucent, like jade, radiating strands of Spirit Charm.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun took out a Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Grass.

This was used to extract essence, nurturing this Lifebound Spirit Plant.

The Spring Condensation Technique was cast upon this Tier Two Spirit Grass.

In moments, a soybean-sized green light orb was drawn out.

Zhou Xun carefully controlled it to approach the Guiyuan Grass.

Visibly, the green light point merged into the Guiyuan Grass.

This act had been repeated once a month by Zhou Xun over these three years.

After such a long period of nurturing, the originally Tier Three Middle-Grade Guiyuan Grass had increased to Tier Three High-Grade Extreme.

Zhou Xun estimated that a further advancement of the Guiyuan Grass was only a matter of time.

At this moment, the Guiyuan Grass, which had absorbed the spirit medicine essence, suddenly emitted intense green light, then released an extremely pure Spiritual Qi.

Zhou Xun quickly sat down to meditate, activating the Spirit Wood True Technique.

The Spiritual Qi traversed his meridians, circulated through his body, and finally settled in his dantian, merging into his liquid mana drops.

After a while, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile on his lips.

Unexpectedly, this pure Spiritual Qi saved him at least two months of arduous cultivation.

Only then did Zhou Xun find the moment to look towards the source of the pure Spiritual Qi, the Guiyuan Grass.

At this time, the Guiyuan Grass had grown another circle, its entire body a lush emerald green, with Spirit Charm flowing naturally.

Obviously, it had surpassed its previous state!

Seeing this, how could Zhou Xun not understand that the Guiyuan Grass had advanced?

After three years of nurturing, it had finally advanced to a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Medicine.

This also means that the stagnated growth of his Spiritual Root for years is about to begin anew!
