Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 403: Chapter 12: Celestial Thunder Treasure

Ten days later, Zhou Xun successfully arrived at Primordial Immortal City!

Around the Immortal City, streaks of spirit light continuously gathered in the air, and plenty of Qi Refining Cultivators on the ground, either walking or taking carriages, headed towards this place!

Before long, Zhou Xun arrived in front of the Immortal City,

”Indeed, as the rumors say, this Primordial Immortal City surprisingly has no walls!”

Looking at the various buildings rising from the ground ahead, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but feel a distant sense of familiarity.

In his previous life, the human cities on Earth Star were just like this, without the barriers of city walls; what met the eye was all sorts of buildings.

Zhou Xun guessed that this was related to the location of Primordial Immortal City,

as the Chaotic Domain served as the buffer zone for the Three Great Influences, each of which had a branch in Primordial Immortal City.

In such an Immortal City, naturally, no influence dared to attack here,

hence the so-called city walls became unnecessary.

Indeed, quite peculiar!

Zhou Xun followed the main street straight inside. Speaking of which, this Primordial Immortal City not only lacked city walls, but even entering the city was different from other Immortal Cities,

as it did not charge an entry fee.

This made commerce in this place more prosperous, with many cultivators setting up stalls along the way, resembling the markets from Zhou Xun’s previous life.

Upon careful scrutiny, they were all quite ordinary treasures; there weren’t any so-called overlooked treasures for him to discover.

”It seems I really don’t have that fortune!” Zhou Xun chuckled to himself, then entered the city.

Zhou Xun hired a guide and came to the largest shop in the city — Wuli Commerce Association!

It was also the largest commerce association in the entire Central Province, said to be overseen by a Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Their branches spanned throughout Central Province; whether in the Righteous Alliance, the Celestial Dao Alliance, or the demonic paths, traces of this commerce association could be seen.

After Zhou Xun entered, he was personally received by the Chief Shopkeeper of the commerce association here.

”I am Xiao Yin, humble Chief Shopkeeper here. Your presence brings grace to our Wuli Commerce Association!”

Outside the elegant chamber, an old man in a brocade robe, with a fair complexion and a slightly plump physique, greeted Zhou Xun with a beaming smile.

Zhou Xun swept his Divine Sense over, Late-Stage Core Formation!

He couldn’t help but be astonished; he never imagined that this Wuli Commerce Association would have such grand arrangements, even having a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator to oversee a mere branch.

”Shopkeeper Xiao, you’re too kind. I am Lii Feiyu!” Zhou Xun replied with a cupped hand salute!

The shopkeeper sat down next to Zhou Xun, personally brewed a pot of Spirit Tea, and handed it to Zhou Xun.

”May I know what kind of treasures Daoist Lii is looking to purchase here?”

Zhou Xun accepted the Spirit Tea, sipped it gently,

As the Spirit Tea entered his stomach, a surge of pure Spiritual Qi made him feel refreshed.

Zhou Xun silently praised the excellent tea, then explained his purpose:

”I’m here to purchase a treasure containing Celestial Thunder Power. Does your commerce association have any in stock?”

”Oh, so Daoist Lii is a Thunder Cultivator, apologies for not recognizing!” The old man showed a surprised expression and cupped his hands,

Then continued:

”As for the treasure containing Celestial Thunder Power, indeed there is one, called the ’Thunder Element Essence’, but this treasure is not for sale yet; it will be the highlight of the auction in half a month!”

”If Daoist wants it, you’ll have to participate in the auction!”

The old man said with a trace of apology.

Hearing the name Thunder Element Essence, Zhou Xun’s heart was stirred!

This treasure’s contained Celestial Thunder Power was its secondary function; its greatest usage was enhancing the power of Thunder Attribute treasures, shortening the nurturing and refining time.

In other words, if Zhou Xun obtained this treasure, he could shortly return to full strength after condensing the Thunder Seed,

Sparing a considerable amount of time, leading to an early recovery of peak combat capability!

”You’re too kind, Daoist. Getting this information is already quite a gain,” Zhou Xun said with a smile,

”By the way, does your commerce association also purchase magical treasures and materials? I wish to attend the auction for the Thunder Element Essence, which I reckon will be quite costly!”

”We most certainly do. Please, Daoist, show us what you have!” The old man said with a kindly smile.

So Zhou Xun took out the magical treasures and materials from the two Core Formation Cultivators who had attempted to ambush him for sale.

Apart from what he found useful, he exchanged them for a total of three hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones.

”Oh, if Daoist is looking for the treasure containing Celestial Thunder Power, perhaps the Core Formation Cultivator exchange meeting in three days could yield some gains!”

As he was about to leave, the old man added a remark.

”Oh? Where is it held?”

”At Bright Moon Tower. With this talisman, Daoist can attend!” The old man said, taking out a yellow talisman and handed it to Zhou Xun.

”Thank you very much!” Zhou Xun accepted the talisman, saluted with clasped hands, and then took his leave.

...

After leaving, Zhou Xun rented a temporary cave mansion.

Three days later,

Zhou Xun left the cave mansion and headed straight for Bright Moon Tower.

Bright Moon Tower was the most famous tea house in Primordial Immortal City, selling over a hundred types of Spirit Tea, nearly covering most of the well-known Spirit Teas from the Cultivation Realm of Central Province.

Following the main street for roughly three thousand or more zhang, then turning into an alley, twisting here and there,

He arrived in front of a four-story building occupying forty to fifty zhang.

A long banner hung down from the top of the building, with the words ”Bright Moon Tower” written on it, and two guards at the door, both with Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

Even from more than a dozen zhang away, there was a faint aroma of tea, invigorating to the senses.

Zhou Xun did not hide his Core Formation Stage mana presence, stepping forward to enter.

At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper emerged from inside, extended his hands in salute, saying:

”Greetings, senior. Bright Moon Tower is not open today; we beg for your understanding.”

He finished and saluted again!

Zhou Xun did not speak, directly handing the talisman to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man accepted, inspected it carefully, and finally cupped his hands, saying:

”So senior is here to attend the exchange meeting as well. Please follow me!”

With that, he led Zhou Xun straight upstairs, stopping at the entrance of the third-floor stairway, saying apologetically:

”The fourth floor is where the exchange meeting is held; many seniors are already inside. As my cultivation is low, I dare not go up,”

”I can only guide you this far!”

”Thank you for your efforts!” Zhou Xun nodded slightly and then stepped onto the stairs, continuing upwards.

The fourth floor was quite large, dozens of zhang in size, with a circle of tables arranged inside, and currently eight or nine cultivators were sitting.

Four were at the Initial Stage, and three at the Middle Stage.

The two others stood behind respective tables, evidently brought by the table owners to gain experience as juniors.

Among them, two were old acquaintances of Zhou Xun!

Zhou Xun’s arrival instantly attracted the attention of everyone inside, and they all turned their gaze on him.

”So it’s Daoist Brother, you’re also attending this exchange meeting, that’s wonderful. I haven’t had the chance to repay Daoist Brother for your help last time, please do not refuse my gratitude this time!”

At this moment, a beautiful woman stood up excitedly, giving a grand salute towards Zhou Xun.

”Daoist Jiang, there’s no need to be so formal, it was just a small effort. As for gratitude, it’s unnecessary!” Zhou Xun said calmly, then chose a corner to sit cross-legged.

”So, you’re the cultivator who rescued Fairy Jiang, and managed to single-handedly slay two Tier Three Great Demons, one of which was of Middle-Grade Level; such strength truly makes Wuk Mou admire!”
