Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 365: Chapter 113: Reunion with Old Friends!

On the frontline of the Golden Ape Valley, the one currently in charge is Master Fengg Yun from the Cloud Light Sect.

Although only at Fake Pill Cultivation, as the only Quasi-Third Tier Array Master, he could maximize the power of the Grand Array here.

The combination of a Tier Three Low-Grade Mountain Protection Array and a Quasi-Third Tier Array Master could hold off even a Middle-Stage Core Formation attacker for some time.

Thus, it can buy time for the rear to prepare.

On this day, Master Fengg Yun was sitting cross-legged within his Cave Mansion, holding a Jade Scroll, fully attentive in studying the Array.

Suddenly, the nearby communication restriction flared up repeatedly, followed by the panicked voice of a guard:

”Reporting to Martial Uncle, outside... outside came a True Pill Cultivator, claiming to be from Xui Country, wanting to cross the boundary!”

”True Pill Cultivator!”

Upon hearing these four words, Master Fengg Yun was shocked!

Having experienced the invasion by the Celestial Feather Sect, he was extremely sensitive to cultivators coming from the Hundred Thousand Swamp, especially a True Pill Cultivator.

His first reaction was suspicion!

Immediately, he put down the Jade Scroll, took out the Manipulation Command Flag for the Array, and his figure flashed and appeared on the city wall.

In the air outside the defense line, three people were hovering.

The leader, with a fair and handsome face, exuding an Early-Stage Core Formation mana aura.

”This is... Master White Cloud’s Heir Disciple, Xing Huai’an!”

Regarding the disciple Master White Cloud valued the most, Master Fengg Yun had naturally met him before.

As for the two people next to him, he did not recognize the woman, but the elderly man seemed to be the former Chief Steward of White Cloud Immortal City, Zhou Buqi.

At this moment, Xing Huai’an’s voice also rang out:

”Is it Master Fengg Yun in person? I am Xing Huai’an, this is my Senior Sister Yuan Pan’er, and this is my Senior Brother Zhou Buqi!”

Upon entering Yean Country, Xing Huai’an and his companions learned of the Celestial Feather Sect’s invasion of Xui Country, suffering heavy losses, with even the Grand Elder falling at the hands of Master Wangchuan.

Combining this with the news from Master Nanyue, they quickly determined that Zhou Xun’s Core Formation was true, and he indeed killed a Late-Stage Core Formation.

They immediately headed non-stop towards Xui Country.

Unthoughtfully, upon entering the border of Xui Country, they were blocked by a grand fortress.

Of course, with their cultivation, sneaking past was not impossible,

but their return this time was for rebuilding White Cloud Immortal City, and naturally, they couldn’t be sneaky.

They wanted to enter openly and announce to the world that the disciples of Master White Cloud have returned!

Luckily, it wasn’t long before the defending Cultivator of this grand fortress came out, and it was an old acquaintance!

”So it is Daoist Xing, it’s been decades since we last met. Congratulations on achieving True Pill!”

Master Fengg Yun said politely.

”Daoist Fengg Yun is too kind. I and my senior brother and sister came from Zhao Country, intending to return to Xui Country. Please, Daoist Fengg Yun, open the checkpoint and let us pass, Xing would be immensely grateful!”

Though Xing Huai’an spoke thus, he dared not let them in.

Who knows if they were spies.

After all, there is the precedent of Wu Zongdao, but blocking them here equally did not seem appropriate.

Firstly, Xing Huai’an was a True Pill Cultivator, and if it came to a fight, no one could guarantee that he didn’t have means to break the Mountain Protection Array,

since it’s rumored he left with Master Nanyue, an Array master.

Secondly, he was Master Wangchuan’s senior brother; offending him too much might affect Zhou Xun’s and Cloud Light Sect’s perception of him, and he would then be a sinner!

After thinking it over, he came up with a compromise!

”Daoist Xing, the affairs of the Golden Ape Valley are of great importance, and we really cannot open it up; perhaps you can travel another ten thousand miles north, where there’s a small checkpoint for you to pass through?”

”Thank you for the guidance, Daoist Fengg Yun, I will visit again when I have the opportunity!” Xing Huai’an cupped his hands slightly and then flew northward.

Sure enough, after a ten thousand-mile flight, there was a small checkpoint they passed through smoothly.

”Junior Brother Xing, where shall we go next!”

”First find a market to inquire about the recent happenings in Xui Country, and then head to Wangchuan Lake to find Junior Brother Zhou!”

...

Half a month later. A pure white Flying Ship, carrying two men and one woman, flew into the misty Wangchuan Lake.

A white-clad man with handsome features, red lips and white teeth, standing with folded arms, appearing about twenty-five or six years old.

Another, a woman in a red dress, with a youthful face, petite, yet voluptuous, particularly the two towering mountains before her, drawing much attention.

An elderly man in a Feather Robe, with an aged appearance, hair, and beard all white, exuding an aura of old age.

”Huai’an, it’s unexpected that this Junior Brother Zhou accomplished such great deeds, not just driving out the Celestial Feather Sect, but now also taking over the Cloud Light Sect. Looks like rebuilding White Cloud Immortal City is within reach?”

Yuan Pan’er said happily.

”If we get Junior Brother Zhou’s support, the city reconstruction is certainly no problem!”

”But the White Cloud Mountain Range has yet to recover, where should we rebuild the Immortal City is a question!”

”Isn’t it obvious? Naturally, it’s the White Cloud Mountain Range; didn’t Junior Martial Uncle Nanyue give us a set of Arrays to stabilize Spirit Veins,”

laying them down shall suffice; even if not reaching Tier Three, Tier Two should be no problem!”

Yuan Pan’er said.

”But a Tier Two Low-Grade Spirit Vein can’t support an Immortal City!” Xing Huai’an said with a bitter smile.

They originally thought that with this set of Arrays, even if unable to restore the Spirit Vein to a Tier Three Middle-Grade, Tier Two Top-Grade should be feasible.

A Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Vein, coupled with him as a True Pill Cultivator, would support an Immortal City without issue.

But once they arrived at the scene, they realized they were overly optimistic.

The White Cloud Spiritual Vein was too severely damaged; even after laying down that set of Arrays, it could be restored only to Tier Two Low-Grade at most.

At Tier Two Low-Grade, not to mention an Immortal City, even a Market would be ranked the lowest.

This was contrary to their original intention of rebuilding White Cloud Immortal City and expanding it.

Sighing, they arrived before the Wangchuan Lake Array.

Taking out a Sound Transmission Talisman, they whispered a few words before casting it towards the mist.

...

Meanwhile, Zhou Xun’s incarnation was currently sitting in Jingxin Pavilion, tending to the nearby Spirit Plants.

Under Zhou Xun’s meticulous care, coupled with his unreserved use of Spirit Medicine Essence, his Ren Shui Pear, Cyan Wood Peach, Yellow-Skinned Plum, and the like had reached Tier Two Top-Grade Level.

As for the Spiritual Mist Tea, it had reached the Quasi-Third Tier Level.

According to the classification outside, Zhou Xun could be termed a Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Plant Cultivator.

Of course, his title as a Spirit Plant Cultivator was thanks to the Spirit Medicine Essence, essentially a form of cheating.

Just then, a firelight flew in from outside, suspended above Jingxin Pavilion.

”Oh?”

Zhou Xun immediately noticed this Sound Transmission Talisman and ceased his work.

With a flick of his finger, a burst of Spirit Light hit the talisman.

Soon after, a very familiar voice to Zhou Xun echoed out:

”Junior Brother, Xing Huai’an, along with Senior Sister Yuan Pan’er and Senior Brother Zhou Buqi, are visiting!”
