Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 343: Chapter 91: Body Refinement Seventh Layer!

For this scene, Zhou Xun was naturally mentally prepared.

He even invited them over to taste the dragon fish, hoping to reduce the difficulties they might face on their cultivation paths.

After all, these people are his old acquaintances!

Only to see Zhou Xun take out a command flag and wave it gently.

Instantly, spiritual energy from within a hundred-mile radius of Wangchuan Lake began to gather here.

Soon, the concentration of spiritual energy here kept rising.

”Tier Two Middle-Grade”

”Tier Two High-Grade!”

Eventually reaching close to Tier Three level before stopping!

Sure enough, with this dense spiritual energy assisting them, their cultivation grew rapidly.

Zhou Xun speculated it could at least save them several months of arduous cultivation.

”Master Zhou is indeed kind to his subordinates!” Master Hu Kui praised from the side.

”Haha, they are either old followers who’ve been with me for many years or my disciples. As their elder, naturally, I need to care for them a bit more!” Zhou Xun said thoughtfully.

”Brother Zhou is truly a man of sentiment!” Master Tianyang commended.

A powerful cultivator who is sentimental and cherishes old ties naturally makes them more willing to associate.

Half a day later, the spiritual banquet ended, and everyone left.

Only Lin Xueying and Master Hu Kui remained for a while.

Lin Xueying rarely visits, so naturally, she wishes to spend some time with her lover.

As for Master Hu Kui, he was invited by Zhou Xun to stay.

...

Jingxin Pavilion.

Zhou Xun sat across from Master Hu Kui.

”Last time, when Master Zhou came to Fengg Country to order talisman pens, Brother Hu was absent and truly negligent!” Just as they sat down, Master Hu Kui said with an apologetic bow.

”Daoist Hu is too courteous!” Zhou Xun waved his hand.

”It’s rare for a Daoist friend to visit here; please try this local specialty of mine!”

It was midsummer, and the Calm Heart Lotus on the lake opened.

Occasionally, fish swam leisurely among the lotus leaves.

Zhou Xun made a grand gesture, and several emerald green lotus pods automatically detached, turning into a stream of light, landing on the stone table between the two.

”Brother Hu is fortunate today!”

Master Hu Kui smiled heartily, picked up a lotus pod, peeled it open, took out the milky white, jade-like lotus seeds, removed the outer skin, put them in his mouth, and savored them carefully!

”Not bad...not bad!”

”A slight sweetness upon entry, and a lingering lotus fragrance between the lips and teeth. Importantly, after ingesting the lotus seeds, the mind stabilizes significantly!”

”Truly a delicacy!”

Zhou Xun smiled slightly and introduced:

”This is the Calm Heart Lotus, originally a Tier One Low-Grade spirit plant, which over years of my careful cultivation, has grown to Tier Two Middle-Grade. The ones Brother Hu just tasted are even at Tier Two High-Grade level!”

In fact, the reason these lotus seeds could grow so quickly is related to Zhou Xun frequently feeding them spirit medicine essence.

Had it not been for this, they wouldn’t have grown so swiftly.

Besides that, the surrounding Ren Shui Pears, Cyan Wood Peaches, and Spiritual Mist Tea, all spirit plants, have all reached Tier Two High-Grade!

Nowadays, his Lake Heart Island can be called a ”Grotto Heaven Blessed Land!”

”Unexpectedly, Brother Zhou also has such accomplishments in spirit planting!” Master Hu Kui was amazed.

”It’s just a pastime during leisure!”

While speaking, Zhou Xun personally brewed a pot of Spiritual Mist Tea for him.

Such hospitality made Master Hu Kui feel somewhat flattered, but he also knew that Zhou Xun treated him so generously must have a request.

After a long exchange of pleasantries, seeing the atmosphere was about right, Zhou Xun spoke of his intentions.

”I invited Brother Hu here because I have a request!”

Upon hearing this, Master Hu Kui immediately stood up solemnly and said:

”Brother Zhou, don’t be so formal. We are like old friends at first sight; there’s no need to talk about requests. Whatever you need, just tell me, and I will do my utmost!”

Master Hu Kui was naturally thinking about going all out.

Apart from not being able to divulge his puppet heritage, he agreed to everything else!

Zhou Xun was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter!

”Brother Hu, you are refreshingly straightforward; then I will speak forthrightly!”

”I have three requests!”

”The first: I have long heard that Brother Hu has significant accomplishments in the path of puppetry, rivaling the Puppet Master of the past. My dojo was founded not long ago, with shallow foundations!”

”Once I leave, the dojo will become vulnerable!”

”Therefore, I have collected some puppet materials and would like to ask Brother Hu to refine three Quasi-Third Tier Puppets for me, is that possible?”

”Refining puppets?” Upon hearing this, Master Hu Kui breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

”If it were someone else, I might refuse, but if a master speaks, I must strive to complete it. Please tell me the second thing!”

”Regarding the second request, I have obtained a puppet heritage which I find quite interesting and have refined a couple of toy-like works, and I hope Brother Hu could offer some guidance!”

Speaking, Zhou Xun tapped his storage bag, and two lizard puppet beasts, each three feet in size, appeared before them.

Master Hu Kui showed interest upon hearing this and picked up the two puppets to examine them.

Both were Tier One High-Grade level, using particularly good materials, but the refining techniques were somewhat immature!

Coupled with a lack of deep understanding of the Path of Puppetry, hence the grade dropped slightly.

Generally speaking, a common puppet master can refine a puppet at Tier One Top Grade level,

If he were to craft them, they would at least be Tier Two Low-Grade.

After thinking for a while, he began explaining to Zhou Xun.

The days ahead were spent in discussions over puppet technique, although it was mostly guidance from Master Hu Kui.

With his help, Zhou Xun’s puppet skills improved rapidly.

A month later, the first Tier Two Low-Grade puppet was successfully refined.

...

Elsewhere, the lake bottom cultivation room.

The incarnation was seated cross-legged on the ground, eyes shut, face full of pain.

Threads of thunder arcs crossed its surface, permeating within.

The entire body showed a faint purple hue.

This was precisely the body refining secret technique within the Purple Sky Thunder Technique—the Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique!

Back in the days before Zhou Xun refined Fengg Wuji into an incarnation, he had already cultivated this body refining secret technique to the Sixth Layer Perfection.

After the incarnation’s successful Core Formation, this secret technique advanced further.

Over the years, Zhou Xun has never ceased practicing this technique.

Like a dam, blocking the way.

The cultivation over these years flowed like water, accumulating, waiting for the final act of cascading.

Finally, at a certain moment, the barrier could not hold any longer, and everything became clear!

Zhou Xun’s body suddenly radiated a purple light, with a stream of purple spirit charm circulating!

”The Divine Thunder Body Tempering Seventh Layer is broken through!”

...

Within the cultivation room,

With a ”bang,” a hand like purple crystal stone slapped the wall fiercely, shattering the restriction that could withstand several rounds of attacks from an Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.

The wall forged with Tier Two ore showed a palm imprint several inches deep.

Zhou Xun’s eyes flashed with thunder arcs, his entire body surging with vitality like a primordial beast, which was deeply unsettling.

Once the restriction’s light restored, he delivered another punch across space.

Boom!

A cloud-like gas explosion formed several feet away, simultaneously accompanied by flickering thunder lights!

”The Divine Thunder Body Tempering Technique Seventh Layer is finally mastered, relying on just the physical body, I am not inferior to a Tier Three Great Demon!”

Zhou Xun could hardly contain the joy within his heart.

This kind of physique, combined with the Purple Sky True Thunder Array, shifting and dodging, is akin to an instant teleportation ability.

Moreover, with the Extreme Blade, even a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator, if careless, would meet their doom!
