Chapter 112 The fourth level of body training!
After leaving Sun Ergou's house, Zhou Xun went to the town to kill the mayor.
After leaving, Zhou Xun came to the other nearest gathering place for immortal cultivators - Fengming Mountain. There was a first-order low-grade spiritual vein here.
Originally, the immortal cultivators here did not welcome Zhou Xun's arrival. After Zhou Xun showed his cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training, no one said anything.
You must know that the highest cultivation here is just a monk at the fourth level of Qi training.
He found an uninhabited cliff, opened a simple cave, and set up his own seven-star formation.
After that, Zhou Xun lived in seclusion. In addition to healing his injuries, he also studied the art of formations and the art of spiritual insects.
As for other methods such as talismans, because I was injured and it was inconvenient to practice, I had to put them on hold.
Just like that, three months passed by in a flash.
The magic power he can use during this period is equivalent to that of a fifth-level Qi-training monk. On this day, Zhou Xun was studying the formation method in the cave.
Suddenly there was a call at the door from outside.
Zhou Xun went out to take a look, and it turned out to be another middle-stage Qi-training monk here, an old man in his fifties with gray hair.
Beside him is a pretty girl of twelve or thirteen years old. Judging from the spiritual power in her body, she is only at the first level of Qi training.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hu, what's the matter?" Zhou Xun said calmly.
Zhou Xun naturally has no desire to make friends with these low-level monks. He only wants to wait for half a year, then absorb the essence of the elixir to restore his basic cultivation and leave.
"Our triennial exchange meeting in Fengming Mountain will start tomorrow, and I came here to inform fellow Taoists!" The old man didn't care about Zhou Xun's indifference.
After all, he is just a middle-term monk who is declining, and the person in front of him is extremely young and has the possibility of further advancement. He is not something he can offend.
“Exchange meeting?” Zhou Xun was confused.
"By the way, our Fengming Mountain will hold an exchange meeting every three years. At that time, fellow Taoists from thousands of miles around will come here to exchange what they have!" the old man explained with a smile.
"I know, I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Zhou Xun nodded.
It would be unreasonable for him not to be interested in the exchange meeting that is held every three years, given that he is now a fourth-level qi-training monk.
"Then wait patiently for fellow Taoist disciples to arrive!" The old man then left.
The next day Zhou Xun arrived at the location of the exchange meeting, at the top of a certain mountain in Fengming Mountain.
There is a platform covering an area of tens of feet.
When Zhou Xun arrived, more than forty people had gathered on the platform.
Presumably they are all casual cultivators within thousands of miles nearby.
Among these people, in addition to the old man surnamed Hu, there are two middle-stage Qi training monks.
One is a beautiful woman with a gorgeous appearance, who is at the fourth level of Qi training.
A man with a sinister face and a fifth level of Qi cultivation, who is the person with the highest apparent cultivation here, is talking and laughing loudly with the beautiful woman.
“This is Fellow Taoist Shan Xionghai, a mid-term monk who just arrived at Fengming Mountain some time ago!” The old man surnamed Hu introduced enthusiastically.
"Fellow Daoist Shan is so young and has reached the middle stage of Qi training. He is really enviable!" As soon as Zhou Xun walked in, the eyes of the gorgeous woman lit up and her beautiful eyes flashed as she spoke.
Seeing this, the man snorted with some dissatisfaction.
“Thank you!” Zhou Xun replied lightly, then found a place to sit down, and then asked the old man surnamed Hu:
“Fellow Daoist Hu, I don’t know when the exchange meeting will be. Let’s start!”
“There are still some fellow Taoists who haven’t arrived yet, just another hour”
Zhou Xun nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
Soon, an hour passed, and there were more than ten people on the platform.
"Cough——" The old man surnamed Hu stood up and coughed a few times, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
“I think everyone has arrived, let’s get started!”
“In this exchange meeting, each Taoist friend can show the treasures he wants to exchange!”< br>
"Hu Mou throws the jade first!" The old man said, patting the storage bag and taking out twelve low-grade talismans.
"Each series of low-grade attack talismans, thirty spiritual essences per piece. If you buy more, there will be discounts!"
This price is much more expensive than Zhou Xun's at Hongyefang. In a regular store, one spiritual stone can buy four pieces, which equals twenty-five spiritual essences. If it is on the black market, one spiritual stone can buy five pieces.
However, there are no independent cultivators here, so it is normal for them to be more expensive.
Soon, one by one, one by one, the old man’s talismans were all snatched up. Soon, low-level spiritual grass, ores, and even monster materials came out.
But Zhou Xun is not interested in these things, he is just here to make up the numbers.
“This is the half bottle of Shan’s early Qi training elixir left in the early days of Qi training, and there are still seven more!”
When it was his turn, he took out a bottle of Qi training elixir. The elixir taken by the monks in the early stage of Qi attracted a kind of monks to fight for it.
In the end, it was captured by the old man surnamed Hu.
"My granddaughter has just started practicing, and this thing is being used by her. Fellow Taoists, please forgive me!" After the old man surnamed Hu bought it, he also apologized to everyone. He is indeed a well-rounded person.
"Thank you, seniors, for your concessions, and I will give you more elixirs for senior Shan!" Her granddaughter also stood up and thanked her, with a clear and beautiful voice.
After all, the exchange meeting is halfway through, and this is the first bottle of elixir that appears. For casual cultivators like them, if they get the elixir and take it early, they will not exchange it.
Afterwards, the exchange will continue.
"I have a fire stone here in exchange for a spiritual stone!" At this time, a young monk dressed in a short shirt took out a red stone that was the size of an adult's head.
Fire stone is a first-grade low-grade ore that can assist cultivators in the practice of fire attributes.
This thing is in one place, and many people in the field are tempted.
Zhou Xun glanced at it casually, and suddenly his eyes froze. There was something wrong with the huge fire stone, and the power of fire on its surface was too strong.
And there is still some cold elemental power mixed in, but it is extremely weak, and only his spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage can detect it.
So he spoke lazily:
"I want it!"
At the same time, he took out a spirit stone and threw it at the young man.
Seeing Zhou Xun take action, the hosts in the field kept silent.
After that, no treasure that Zhou Xun was interested in appeared again.
Back in the cave, Zhou Xun couldn't wait to take out the fire stone.
After looking at it carefully several times, he took out the Golden Clam Blade and started cutting it towards the Fiery Stone.
One knife after another, the Fiery Stone Stele was peeled off layer by layer.
When the fire stone was only the size of an adult's fist, a crystal clear red and white crystal was revealed.
What is strange is that this crystal has the power of both fire element and cold element.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun smiled slightly:
"My guess is good, it is indeed the Fierce Cold Crystal!"
The Fierce Cold Crystal is a rare second-level high-grade weapon refining material, which is valuable, more than one tael of three thousand spiritual stones.
The one in Zhou Xun's hand weighs seventy-six cents and is worth more than twenty thousand spiritual stones!
More importantly, this Fierce Cold Crystal is an indispensable treasure for practicing the fourth level of the Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique.
“When my foundation is restored, I can look for opportunities to break through to the fourth level of body refining!”
Zhou Xun then happily put it into his storage bag.
Time flies, three months fly by, and it has been more than half a year since Zhou Xun came to Fengming Mountain.
He can finally absorb the essence of the elixir.
Zhou Xun then took out a second-grade low-grade elixir, extracted the essence and integrated it into his body, successfully restoring the damaged foundation and longevity.
Perhaps because the essence was consumed, his spiritual roots did not grow this time.
However, Zhou Xun is not worried, it is just a one-year delay in reaching the limit of the middle-grade spiritual root.
The foundation was restored, and the cultivation level immediately returned to the ninth level of Qi training.
What surprised him even more was that after this incident, the strength of his Dantian meridians increased significantly.
Zhou Xun guessed that this may coincide with the principle of breaking and then building.
After his basic skills were restored, Zhou Xun left without hesitation.
On this day, Zhou Xun flew into the sky, turned into a blue aura, and galloped away in the direction of Baiyun Immortal City.
This scene happened to fall in the eyes of several casual cultivators in Fengming Mountain.
Then the legend of the emergence of foundation-building monks practicing in Fengming Mountain spread.
