Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 387: Chapter 135: Bloodline Advancement!

Upon hearing the news of Zhou Xun’s return, Zhou Xun’s disciples and subordinates came forward to pay their respects!

Zhou Xun entered the reception hall and sat directly on the main seat!

”Greetings, Master!”

”Greetings, Island Master!”

Everyone saluted in unison!

”No need for formalities!” Zhou Xun gave a slight smile, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of energy lifted everyone up.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, the states of the people immediately came into his view!

Among the five disciples,

the cultivation of Zhou Jingsong and his wife had both advanced, entering the Second-Layer Foundation Establishment and were only a short step away from the third layer.

His third disciple, Wang Shun, remained at the First-Layer Foundation Establishment but had reached its peak, seemingly only years away from advancement!

The fourth disciple, Lin Youshan, merely twenty years of age, had now entered the Late-Stage Qi Refining. He should be able to reach the Peak Qi Refining before forty and begin his assault on Foundation Establishment!

However, he possessed a Wood Spirit Root of forty-four points and was Zhou Xun’s direct disciple, receiving top-tier resources and cultivation techniques,

making such progress only natural!

The greatest advancement belonged to the youngest disciple, Xu Shaoqing. Now twenty-eight, she had already reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining,

likely capable of challenging Foundation Establishment in just a few more years!

Among Zhou Xun’s five disciples, he was the most gifted, having reached the Earth Spirit Root!

He was also the one most likely to enter the Core Formation Stage in the future!

In Zhou Xun’s vision, he was the future pillar of support for Wangchuan Lake!

As for Weih Qiuxin, Fang Tianlun, and others, they had all made good progress!

Weih Qiuxin had even successfully advanced to the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment!

However, as the core subordinates of Zhou Xun, and with Wangchuan Lake being overwhelmingly dominant throughout Xui Country,

the resources they possessed far exceeded those of ordinary Foundation Establishments, coupled with the supply of Tier Three Spiritual Qi from Wangchuan Lake, it was no wonder they made such progress!

”During my absence, you have not been idle; well done!” Zhou Xun nodded slightly!

He was quite pleased with this situation!

In another hundred years, from among the people present, one or two should be able to reach Core Formation.

Then, Zhou Xun inquired about their cultivation individually and personally explained to them!

With a Core Formation Cultivator resolving their doubts, everyone greatly benefited!

After that, Zhou Xun sent them away!

...

Two days later, Zhou Xun had a good rest and then, together with Song Yiqing, went to the Cultivation Room!

He had two tasks to accomplish next!

The first task was to assist Song Yiqing in extracting the cyan luan bloodline from the Cyan Flame Simurgh to enhance her Lifebound Liling Beast

The second task was to interrogate Feng Yuee to inquire about the situation of the Central Continent Cultivation Realm and to find the passage he used to travel to the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Cultivation Room!

Zhou Xun patted the Storage Bag and took out the imprisoned Cyan Flame Simurgh.

A spirit light shot forth, and Feng Yuee’s eyes immediately opened.

Having been imprisoned for more than half a year, he appeared somewhat withered and weak. Feng Yuee glanced around and realized his predicament.

”What are you planning to do?”

Feng Yuee appeared somewhat fearful!

This scene did not seem to bode well!

”Yiqing, you may begin!”

Zhou Xun paid no heed to Feng Yuee’s expression!

Song Yiqing formed a hand seal, and a spirit light shot forth, landing on the Cyan Flame Simurgh!

”Spirit Control Scripture! You’re trying to refine the bloodline of the Cyan Flame Simurgh!”

Feng Yuee was startled, frantically trying to struggle,

so familiar was this scene, having performed it countless times himself, and now that it was his turn, he had not a shred of a Core Formation Master’s dignity!

”I won’t let you succeed!”

He tried to activate his own power, but his demonic power had long been sealed by Zhou Xun, leaving him unable to unleash it!

All he could do was watch as his own heart essence blood was extracted!

Before long, a thumb-sized heart essence blood flew out from the Cyan Flame Simurgh, floating in front of Song Yiqing.

Then, Song Yiqing patted her waist Spirit Beast Bag, and a flash of red light fell to the ground,

transforming into a large fiery Spirit Bird, her Lifebound Spirit Beast—the Crimson Flame Simurgh!

Upon seeing the essence blood, the Crimson Flame Simurgh revealed a hint of longing!

”It’s for you!”

Song Yiqing gently stroked the Crimson Flame Simurgh’s head, then formed a hand seal and pointed at the essence blood!

The essence blood slowly moved closer to the Crimson Flame Simurgh, then bizarrely merged into it!

Seeing this, Song Yiqing’s spell changed, casting it onto the Crimson Flame Simurgh!

A soft red light bloomed, and the Crimson Flame Simurgh began its refinement!

Zhou Xun, upon seeing this, took out a Spirit Pill and fed it to the Cyan Flame Simurgh, then cast a spell to seal it again!

On the side, under Song Yiqing’s assistance, the Crimson Flame Simurgh slowly absorbed the heart essence blood from the Cyan Flame Simurgh and began to purify its own cyan luan bloodline!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun quietly left, dragging the Cyan Flame Simurgh to another room.

With a wave of his hand, a spirit light shot out, releasing the seal on the Cyan Flame Simurgh.

”What do you intend to do?”

Feng Yuee seemed to sense Zhou Xun’s ill intentions and spoke severely but nervously.

In response, Zhou Xun gave a slight smile, took out a Cushion, and sat down in front of Feng Yuee.

What he said as his first line left Feng Yuee greatly taken aback:

”It seems, Daoist Feng, you are not from the Eastern Wilderness!”

”How could that be? If I’m not from the Eastern Wilderness, where else could I be!” Feng Yuee ’sneered’ in response.

”No need to hide, Daoist. I also know that not only are you not an Eastern Wilderness cultivator, but you also come from the Spirit Control Sect of the Central Continent Cultivation Realm!”

Zhou Xun said slowly!

Upon hearing the words ”Spirit Control Sect,” Feng Yuee fell silent,

realizing that Zhou Xun had basically grasped his situation. He then raised his head and looked at Zhou Xun saying:

”So what if I’m not a cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness. Since I, Feng, am incompetent, do as you please, whether to kill or torture!”

”Since Daoist Feng is from the Central Continent, you must know the passage out of here. I hope the Daoist can tell me truthfully!”

Zhou Xun gave a slight smile and directly stated his purpose!

Upon hearing the words, Feng Yuee laughed heartily:

”You destroyed my physical body, forcing me to reside in the body of a demon beast. With such an enmity, you still expect me to tell you the passage to leave? Dream on!”

”I shall ensure you are confined to this land for life, never advancing again, hahahaha!”

”I believe, Daoist, you will tell me!”

Zhou Xun chuckled softly, then added:

”Given your background, you should have heard of the Soul-Searching and Refining technique, right? This technique, applied to the Divine Soul, is the most excruciating punishment conceivable,”

”I assume you would not wish to experience it yourself!”

Zhou Xun said calmly,

Previously, while perusing scriptures in the Cloud Light Sect, he had encountered this demonic secret technique and had thus recorded it onto a Jade Scroll.

”Soul Extraction, are you not afraid of divine retribution?” Feng Yuee exclaimed angrily.

”To end my days in the Eastern Wilderness, what does so-called divine retribution amount to!” Zhou Xun’s tone was placid, yet the unwavering resolve in his pursuit of the Dao was unmistakably evident.

Hearing this, Feng Yuee fell silent and did not speak for a long time!

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice somewhat deep, his pace slow yet firm:

”To reveal the passage to you is not impossible, but you must agree to three conditions of mine!”

”First, after obtaining the information, you must let me leave!”

”Second, you must return all my treasures and spirit beasts to me!”

”Third, you must also give me that Crimson Flame Simurgh!”

”Agree to these three conditions, and I’ll tell you!”
