Chapter 261: One wave has not subsided, but another wave has arisen!
Time flies, and a year flies by.
This year, Zhou Xun was sixty-three years old.
Cultivation has steadily improved, and now the liquid mana in his Dantian has reached 110 drops, which is one-third of the way to the 130th level of the eighth level of foundation building.
“According to the current progress, we should be able to break through to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment before the age of seventy, and we should be able to practice to the peak of Foundation Establishment before the age of 100. At that time, we can try to attack the Core Formation!”

In addition, after a year of cultivation, the Guiyuan grass has now been successfully cultivated to the third level of high quality. In about two years, it will be upgraded to the third level of top quality.
At that time, you can extract the essence and upgrade your qualifications to the earth spirit root.
With the Earth Spirit Root qualification, your cultivation speed will be even faster.
At that time, you can form elixirs several years in advance.
The training room at the bottom of Lake Wangchuan.
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, his eyes closed tightly, and his body was covered with blue-black ointment.
A trace of green and black medicinal power, under the operation of the body refining technique, continuously entered Zhou Xun's body and merged into his physical body.
As time goes by, the color of the ointment continues to fade, eventually turning into a bluish-white color.
Then it dried up and fell off from Zhou Xun's body, revealing his slightly reddish skin.
He is practicing the Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique.
After returning from the ancient ruins in Baimang Mountain that day, Zhou Xun reduced his investment in formations and refocused his time on body refining, alchemy and talisman making.
After all, the treasures of the ruins have been obtained, and he does not have such an urgent need for the formation method.
Just study occasionally and maintain normal diligence.
At this time, Zhou Xun opened his eyes, and the red light on his body gradually faded away, returning to normal color.
Immediately stood up and hit himself with a dust-removing technique.
The faint light circulates, and the remaining ointment on the body surface is instantly cleaned away.
With a wave of his hand, the blue robe flew up from the ground and was automatically put on Zhou Xun.
Then, Zhou Xun took out the talisman pen, spiritual ink and a dozen second-level mid-grade talisman papers.
Due to the tide of beasts, Zhou Xun hoarded a large number of monster materials, so he refined them all into talisman paper and spiritual ink.
The large number can support Zhou Xun’s practice regardless of the cost.
Therefore, in just one year, his attainments in talismans at this time have reached the peak of the second-level mid-level.
As long as there is an opportunity, you can try to break through to the second level.
Laying out the talisman paper, holding the talisman pen in his hand, he dipped it towards the spiritual ink. Just when Zhou Xun's pen was about to start drawing the talisman,
Suddenly, the ban in the training room was touched.
It turned out to be Sun Yuanque's visit.
So Zhou Xun returned to the ground.
Sun Yuanque, the grandson of the false elixir elder of Yunguang Sect.
At Lin Xueying's foundation building meeting, Zhou Xun met Sun Yuanque, who later became the deacon elder who has been the resident of Baiyun Immortal City for a long time.
In the same place, the two of them interacted a lot, so they were very familiar with each other.
However, Zhou Xun later left Baiyun Immortal City and stayed at the Wangchuan Lake Dojo for a long time, and the two inevitably lost contact.
After that, Sun Yuanque was also transferred back to Yunguang Sect, and the relationship between the two became increasingly diminished.
It has been two years since the last communication.
I wonder why he is here now.
Jingxin Pavilion,
Zhou Xun and Sun Yuanzhen are sitting opposite each other.
It is midsummer at this time, and the Pure Heart Lotus is in bloom on the lake.
Occasionally there are fish swimming among the lotus leaves.
"Brother Sun, it's a coincidence that my lotus seeds are ripe!" Zhou Xun laughed.
Immediately, with a big move, several green lotus pods landed on the stone table between the two of them.
"Sun is really lucky!"
Sun Yuan did not shirk away. He picked up a lotus pod, peeled it open, took out the milky white jade lotus seeds, and put them into his mouth.
"Not bad. Not bad!"
"It is slightly sweet in the mouth, and there is a fragrance of lotus between the lips and teeth. The most important thing is to take the lotus seeds, and the whole person feels much calmer!"
"This is the Pure Heart Lotus. It was originally a first-order low-grade spiritual plant. After many years of careful cultivation, it has now grown to a first-order mid-grade. What Brother Sun just tasted is a first-order high-grade spiritual plant!"
>
In fact, the reason why this lotus seed can grow so fast is because Zhou Xun often feeds it with elixir essence for cultivation.
If not, they wouldn't be able to grow so fast.
Through the inspiration given to him by Jingxinlian, Zhou Xun also cultivated spiritual plants such as Renshui pear, Qingmu peach and Lingwu tea.
So far, good results have been achieved.
“I didn’t expect that Brother Zhou is not only good at alchemy, but also has such attainments as Ling Zhi!” Sun Yuan Que praised.
“Thank you!” Zhou Xun smiled slightly and asked:
"Brother Sun, I'm afraid you're not just here to reminisce about old times, right?"
Hearing this, Sun Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so straightforward, and he stopped being pretentious and nodded.
"Yes, I am here to discuss important matters!"
When Zhou Xun heard this, his thoughts were as expected.
Since arriving at the Wangchuan Lake Dojo, the contact between the two has become less and less.
If there was nothing important, how could he come to the door in person?
Looked at Sun Yuanque, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Brother Zhou, do you know that the Yan Kingdom has invaded!" Sun Yuanque paused, and then told Zhou Xun a piece of news that shocked Zhou Xun.
The State of Yan is located in the northern part of the State of Xu. It occupies an extremely large area, several times that of the State of Xu. It is extremely powerful. There are more than ten Guangzhendan monks. Among the nine countries in the Eastern Wasteland, its strength ranks third.
Fengyuan Zhenren, the most powerful person in the Yan Kingdom, was in the late stage of pill formation.
"How is it possible? There are hundreds of thousands of miles of swamps between our Xu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom. How can they cross such a natural chasm?"
Zhou Xun said in disbelief.
The Hundred Thousand Miles Swamp is the desperate place between the Xu Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom.
Although it is called the Hundred Thousand Miles Swamp, the actual span is hundreds of thousands of miles wide. Miasma is everywhere in the swamp.
Except for true elixir monks, ordinary monks cannot cross it at all.
Hearing this, Sun Yuanzhen gave a bitter smile and said:
“I don’t know what happened to this one hundred thousand miles swamp. There are signs of drying up, and the original miasma inside has also been greatly weakened.”
“Now, even a foundation-building monk can pass safely!”
“I, Master Yun Yi of the Yunguang Sect, personally went to Shiwan Swamp to investigate and confirmed this matter. This matter!”
"Without the hundred thousand swamps to stop them, with the strength of Yan State, how can we stop them?" Zhou Xun looked solemn.
The Xu Kingdom and the Feng Kingdom are the two last immortal-cultivating kingdoms in the entire Eastern Wasteland.
If it were not blocked by Shiwan Marsh, it would have been annexed by Yan State.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry, you must know that although the Yan Kingdom is powerful, it is divided into three major forces. Now the only ones who are interested in annexing my Xu Kingdom are the nearby Tianyu Sect,"
" Therefore, we are facing only the Tianyumen monks!”
Sun Yuanque explained.
The three major forces of the Yan Kingdom stand together, and their strength from high to low is: "Qingyang Gate", "Aurora Palace" and "Tianyu Gate"
There are seven true elixir monks in Qingyang Gate , in the late stage of the Great Elder's alchemy formation, he was Fengyuan Zhenren, known as the number one monk in the Yan Kingdom.
There are six true elixir monks in Aurora Palace, and the great elder is also in the late stage of elixir formation.
The Tianyu Sect is slightly weaker, but there are also five true elixir monks, among whom the first elder and the second elder are mid-stage elixir-forming monks.
"It seems that the Tian Yumen saw that our country, Xu, had been robbed by the beast tide, and its strength was greatly reduced. In addition, the swamp in the middle retreated, and there was no obstacle, so the idea of taking advantage of the situation came up!"
Zhou Xun sighed! tone.
During the catastrophe of the beast tide, most of the Xu Kingdom fell, and a large number of monks fell into the mouths of the beasts.
Coupled with the death of Zhenren Baiyun, the strength of Xu country plummeted.
Whether it is a high-level monk or a low-level monk, Xu Guo today is probably no match for Tianyu Sect.
"According to the spies, the army of monks from Tianyu Sect has been prepared and is probably heading towards Xu Kingdom!"
Sun Yuanzhe looked worried.
“Then what does Fellow Daoist Sun mean by looking for me?”
Zhou Xun asked tentatively.
Is it possible that you want to recruit yourself to participate in the monk war?
"Fellow Daoist Zhou has superb alchemy skills, and has even reached the second-level high-grade level. This is extremely rare in the entire Xu Kingdom!"
"I was appointed by the sect leader to invite Brother Zhou to the Yunguang Sect to make alchemy full-time for Prepare for the war!”
Sun Yuanque finally revealed his true intention after laying the groundwork for so long.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun did not answer, but probed:
"How did Guizong know that Zhou had become a second-level high-grade alchemist?"
Even Song Yiqing didn't know Zhou Xun's true alchemy skills, and only his senior brothers knew about it.
"This matter was said by Elder Jin Hong himself. Elder Jin Hong praised Brother Zhou for his superb alchemy skills, and even asserted that he will become a third-level alchemy master in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xun suddenly realized.
It seems that it was Master Baiyun who told Master Jin Hong about it.
“Senior Jin Hong is so complimentary!”
"However, I have recently reached a critical point in my cultivation, and I am afraid that I have no time to escape. I am afraid that I will not be able to accept the kindness of Yunguang Sect!"
Zhou Xun declined without hesitation.
The joke is, as a disciple of Master Baiyun, going to Yunguang Sect is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
Seeing Zhou Xun's refusal, Sun Yuan was not surprised and continued:
"Fellow Taoist, why don't you listen to the conditions of our Yunguang Sect?"
"I have also heard about the discord between Yunguang Sect and Baiyun Immortal City. As a disciple of Master Baiyun, it is understandable that Brother Zhou has concerns."
"However, Elder Jin Hong said, Brother Zhou worships Master Baiyun The disciples were only a month old when a beast wave broke out!”
“With such a short period of time, how could we, the Yunguang Sect, regard fellow Taoists as enemies?”
“As long as fellow Taoists join us? Yunguang Sect, we can fully support fellow Taoist to break through to the third level alchemy master, and we can also provide elixir-forming spiritual objects in the future. With the talent of fellow Taoist, it is still very possible to be in the realm of fake elixirs in the future."
"With the cultivation of fake elixirs, coupled with the third-level alchemy skills, in terms of status, they are no less than ordinary true elixir cultivators!"
"Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
"The conditions are indeed very sincere, let me consider it!"
As he said that, Zhou Xun looked thoughtful.
After half a cup of tea, Zhou Xun raised his head and said slowly:
"At this time, the Tianyu Sect is invading. How to deal with it is the most important thing. It is better to repel the Tianyu Sect. How about we discuss joining later?”
Seemingly sensing that Zhou Xun still had some concerns, Sun Yuanque smiled slightly,
In addition, when he came here before, Elder Jin Hong told him not to push too hard, so he nodded in agreement:
"That's fine, we'll talk about joining later, but I still ask Brother Zhou to help me with this alchemy matter. As for the remuneration, it should be handled according to the market price!"
"Easy to say!"
Immediately , the two discussed the details of alchemy.
