Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 362: Chapter 110: Lin Xueying: Zhou Lang Has Become Even More Powerful!

After everything was settled, Zhou Xun moved into Master Yun Yi’s cave mansion.

Upon first entering, there was still some discomfort, after all, Zhou Xun’s body was used to staying in the lake bottom cultivation room, which was Tier Three Top-Grade, even higher than this place by a level!

However, this was already the best place in the entire Cloud Light Mountain Range.

At the Tier Three High-Grade level, if the Spirit Gathering Array is activated, it can temporarily reach the Tier Three Top-Grade level.

It is also the best place within the borders of Xui Country, aside from Zhou Xun’s lake bottom cultivation room.

With the Grand Elder Order in hand and living in the top-tier cave mansion, it can be said that Zhou Xun now, though not a Grand Elder, surpasses a Grand Elder!

Currently, besides Zhou Xun, Lin Xueying was also here in the cave mansion.

The two had not seen each other for several years since their last farewell. Upon meeting again this time, Lin Xueying was quite emotional, with countless words flowing in her mind that she wanted to say to Zhou Xun.

For her, whether she holds the authority of the Cloud Light Sect is not important; what matters is being with Zhou Xun.

The reason she decided to take charge of the Cloud Light Sect was to support Zhou Xun in the future.

But now it seems she was overthinking!

It was never her helping Zhou Xun, but rather Zhou Xun helping her.

Even in accepting the Grand Elder Order this time, Lin Xueying clearly felt that Zhou Xun had a significant reason for supporting her.

Thinking of this, Lin Xueying couldn’t help but be infatuated, looking at her lover in front of her, and said:

”Zhou Lang, you actually don’t need to take on this elder role for me!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun understood Lin Xueying’s thoughts.

He smiled, looking at the woman as beautiful as a flower in front of him, and said:

”The relationship between us, helping you is helping me,”

”But what surprised me was that Daoist Jin Hong and others have such gall. Daring to hand over the Grand Elder Order to me, aren’t they worried that I might usurp the Cloud Light Sect?”

Lin Xueying laughed upon hearing this, showing a proud expression,

”Isn’t it because Zhou Lang, you are powerful, for them, if Zhou Lang wanted to, even if they were unwilling, could they stop you?”

”Since that’s the case, they might as well hand over the Grand Elder Order to you.”

”Firstly, it avoids embarrassment for them, putting themselves opposite of you, Zhou Lang,”

”Secondly, it allows them to win you over,”

”With you overseeing, Cloud Light Sect might just become even more prosperous.”

”Hahaha, Xueying’s words make sense!”

Chatting, the two grew closer together,

Zhou Xun looked at the reflection at the corner of Lin Xueying’s lips, the rising curvature slightly tilted, even the air was fragrant.

So Zhou Xun leaned closer, flicked his sideways hand, and a force blew out the candle flame!

After the prolonged drought, there was a sweet rain all night!

As if being in the clouds!

The next morning, Lin Xueying lay in Zhou Xun’s embrace, showing satisfaction on her face, but with some lingering blush, evidence of everything that had happened before.

”Zhou Lang, how about staying here a little longer!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded, with external enemies all gone, going back was also for cultivation.

Might as well stay here to browse some of the Cloud Light Sect’s scriptures.

As a long-standing sect, there must be a lot of secrets, maybe I can find clues about the Eastern Wilderness’s changes that I’ve been searching for.

...

In a certain cave mansion in the Cloud Light Mountain Range, Sunx Yuanque was sitting with a few friends.

”Brother Sunx, it’s rumored that you and Master Wangchuan are old acquaintances, is it true?” a thin-faced, slightly high-cheekboned middle-aged man asked.

Hearing this, Sunx Yuanque laughed and nodded, pointing to Chii Shaoming beside him:

”Of course it’s true, when I first met Elder Zhou, Brother Chii was there too!”

Chii Shaoming was the young Foundation Establishment from Lin Xueying’s Foundation Establishment celebration years ago (Volume 2, Chapter 36).

Chii Shaoming nodded,

”Indeed, back then Elder Zhou was merely in Qi Cultivation, but in just a few decades, he’s already at the Core Formation Stage and even capable of defeating Late-Stage Core Formation existences,”

”If I had known, I should have clung to such a powerful backer back then!”

He showed immense regret.

”Now that Elder Zhou is our Cloud Light Sect elder, he’s right in the sect, why not visit him!”

”How can we not establish connections with such a powerful ally!”

”Yes!” everyone nodded in agreement.

”But... but with Elder Zhou’s status, how can I dare to visit easily?” Sunx Yuanque said.

”That’s not quite right; I’ve heard that the more powerful a cultivator is, the more they value old friends because at their level, they have a long lifespan,”

”As time goes by, old friends become fewer, so they naturally value them more!” the thin middle-aged man analyzed.

”Indeed, no matter what, it’s never wrong to pay a visit!” Chii Shaoming also advised.

”In that case, I’ll go!”

”Go ahead!”

With the envious gazes of the others, Sunx Yuanque left the cave mansion and went directly to visit Zhou Xun at the Cloud Light Cave.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun was sitting in the cultivation room, surrounded by various jade scrolls that he had taken from the library.

He was trying to investigate the events that happened in the Eastern Wilderness back then.

As Zhou Xun was deeply engrossed in his reading, a flame flew in from outside, hovering above the restriction, it turned out to be a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun moved his fingers slightly, casting a Spirit Light on the talisman.

Immediately, a familiar male voice sounded:

”Junior Sunx Yuanque, here to visit Elder Zhou!”

”Sunx Yuanque?”

So it’s him, Zhou Xun smiled, extremely pleased.

Back then, they were considered friends, but now he had reached Core Formation and held the Grand Elder Order, whether Sunx Yuanque could maintain the same mindset as before was unknown.

Thus, Zhou Xun put down the jade scroll in his hand and got up to go out.

Opening the door of the cave mansion, he saw a middle-aged man in white clothing, standing at the entrance.

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully saluted:

”Greetings, Elder Zhou!”

Hearing this, Zhou Xun sighed in his heart,

Indeed, as the gap in cultivation and status between the two sides widened, it became impossible to interact as they once did.

This left Zhou Xun feeling somewhat disinterested.

So he nodded lightly,

”It’s been many years, Brother Sunx, you still have your charm. Please come in for a chat!”

”Yes!”

Looking at Zhou Xun’s still youthful face, Sunx Yuanque sighed deeply, following Zhou Xun inside.

They sat down in the living room.

Looking at this old friend of the past, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but speak:

”You and I are old friends, there’s no need for such formality!”

”This...” Sunx Yuanque was stirred but also had some concerns.

”In private, you and I should address each other as we did in the past!” Zhou Xun said.

”Then, Yuanque will be presumptuous, Brother Zhou...”

”That’s how it should be, hahaha!” Zhou Xun was very happy,

Immediately taking out his cherished Peach Blossom Brew, they each had a drink.

In the following period, Zhou Xun stayed at the Cloud Light Sect, and Sunx Yuanque would visit from time to time.

Until half a year later, Zhou Xun returned.

...

This time he returned because another spirit medicine had matured to Tier Three Top-Grade.

Arriving at the lake bottom cultivation room,

Zhou Xun sat opposite his avatar.

The avatar formed a hand seal with one hand, and a Tier Three Top-Grade Snowball Flower appeared in front of him, instantly lowering the temperature in the cultivation room by a few degrees.

Zhou Xun adeptly picked it up and began to operate the Spring Condensation Technique.

Soon, a familiar scene appeared once again:

A green light spot emerged from the Snowball Flower.

This time, the light spot was extremely bright, about the size of a pinky finger.

With long-awaited anticipation, Zhou Xun controlled the light spot toward his body.

Upon contact with his skin, the light spot instantly melted, transforming into billions of molecules, merging into Zhou Xun’s body.

Soon, Zhou Xun was once again immersed in the feeling of being wrapped in that warm current.

His body seemed to be washed and was filled with vitality and vigor, the whole being was sublimating.

He didn’t know how long it took for this feeling to dissipate.

At this moment, Zhou Xun opened his eyes.

Then he took out the Spirit Testing Disc, placing his hands within, slowly driving his mana.

A faint light flashed.

”Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity: sixty-nine points!”

One step closer to the extreme of the Earth Spirit Root.

....

Time flew by, and another year passed.

In this year, Zhou Xun was seventy-nine years old.

Half a month ago, another Tier Three Middle-Grade spirit medicine was promoted to Tier Three Top-Grade, thus Zhou Xun’s Spirit Root Sensitivity increased again, reaching seventy points.

At this time, he was nine points away from the extreme of Earth Spirit Root, which was seventy-nine points.

He still had three Tier Three High-Grade spirit medicines at hand, all of which could be promoted to Tier Four Low-Grade.

As for Tier Four Low-Grade, Zhou Xun had absorbed them before, each could enhance the Spirit Root Sensitivity by three points.

This meant that in at most six years, Zhou Xun would be able to achieve his goal, the extreme of the Earth Spirit Root!

After that, if he catalyzed the ”Celestial Spirit True Flame Lotus” obtained from Fengyuan to Tier Four Top-Grade,

Then he could elevate to the Celestial Spirit Root before reaching Core Formation!

In addition to that, over these two years, Zhou Xun also made significant progress in his cultivation.

Looking within his dantian, he saw one hundred eighty-eight liquid mana drops suspended, just two drops short of perfection.

”I suppose I’ll reach the Foundation Establishment Peak within a year!”

...

Meanwhile, several million miles away in Zhao Country.

Zhao Country borders the northern part of the Yean Country, being the largest and most powerful country in the Eastern Wilderness.

The largest Immortal City in Zhao Country is ”Tianhan City,” located in the western frontier of Zhao Country, existing since ten thousand years ago.

On this day, in the largest tavern in ”Tianhan City,” a certain elegant room.

Four cultivators sat around, having a lively drink,

If anyone were present, they would be tremendously surprised.

In this small elegant room, were gathered several of the top cultivators of Tianhan City.

The elderly man leading them, with a fair face and white hair dressed as a Confucian scholar, appeared amiable at first glance, yet if one heard his name, they would tremble in fear.

He was Master Tianci, known as the Eastern Wilderness’s Number One Cultivator, half-step Golden Core, Peak Core Formation cultivation!

To his left was Qu Yongshou, also known as Master Dan Ding, a Middle-Stage Core Formation cultivator, and a Tier Three High-Grade Alchemy Master!

Sitting to his right was none other than Master Nanyue, whom Zhou Xun was extremely familiar with.
