Chapter 506: Chapter 115: Cultivating in Seclusion on Celestial Talisman Island

"Earlier, Daoist Hu mentioned there was news of the Void Calamity Flower within the Celestial Talisman Sect,"

"I just heard from Daoist Cao, it seems that this flower is indeed within the sect?" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s correct!"

Cao Feiyu nodded,

"This flower is related to the Nascent Soul Formation, so my senior brother was somewhat reserved about it, I hope you won’t mind, Master!"

"No worries!"

Zhou Xun naturally wouldn’t blame someone who had already perished,

"This Void Calamity Flower has been cultivated for hundreds of years, personally transplanted by my grandmaster!"

"It’s a pity that our Celestial Talisman Sect has been waning over the years, and the master is at a critical breakthrough point, so this is the perfect use for it!"

"Consider it a token of our appreciation!"

Master Qianfu expressed sincerely.

"This item indeed has great use for me, so I would be impolite to refuse!"

As they spoke, Master Qianfu led Zhou Xun through a mountain range, arriving at the entrance of a cave.

Runes flickered around the cave, indicating numerous restrictions were set up,

With Zhou Xun’s keen eyes, he could tell they were all Tier Three High-Grade level, impossible to forcefully breach.

"Could it be that the Void Calamity Flower is inside here?"

At this moment, Master Qianfu lightly touched his waist, and a Spirit Light flashed, transforming into a token appearing in his palm,

It turned out to be the Grand Elder Order that Zhou Xun had brought.

Forming hand seals with both hands, he pointed at the token in his palm,

The token’s surface glimmered faintly, then a Spirit Light shot out, striking the restriction before them.

"Boom!"

With a gentle sound, the restriction opened up, revealing a passageway about ten feet wide.

"Master, please proceed!"

Zhou Xun then entered,

The passageway was extremely bright, with many Luminous Pearls embedded in the ceiling.

As they walked about ten more feet down the passage, it began to slope downwards. After traveling approximately three hundred more feet, a sudden openness appeared before them.

A stone chamber over thirty feet in size appeared before them.

The Spiritual Qi in the stone chamber was extremely dense, faintly approaching Tier Four Low-Grade level,

The ground was covered with a layer of faintly glowing soil!

It wasn’t much different from the ones Zhou Xun had obtained within the Celestial Profound Secret Realm, clearly Tier Four Spirit Soil.

Only when cultivated within such Spirit Soil could the Void Calamity Flower continue to grow.

After all, it’s a Tier Four Spirit Medicine.

In the middle of this Spirit Soil was a foot-tall white flower, as pure as jade,

If it weren’t for the vibrant life force around it, one might think it was carved from Spirit Jade.

Sporadically, Spirit Charm emerged around the flower, making it exceptionally extraordinary.

"Truly worthy of being one of the main medicines for the Nascent Soul Pill, I’ve finally seen it today!"

Zhou Xun was extremely delighted,

This way, out of the four main medicines for the Nascent Soul Pill, he only had the "Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng" left to find.

"Heaven truly favors me!"

"I still have a few decades before the Peak Core Formation, in such a long time, finding the last Spirit Medicine shouldn’t be an issue!"

"This item now belongs to you, Master!"

Ringing with an elegant voice, it was Master Qianfu, as he formed a Spirit Light with the Grand Elder Order in hand, and projected it towards the Void Calamity Flower

"Buzz—"

A translucent blue light shield suddenly appeared and quickly vanished, it was set to protect the Void Calamity Flower.

Zhou Xun nodded, and with a turn of his palm, a jade-made Spirit Hoe appeared in his hand,

The Void Calamity Flower is exceptionally unique, requiring extraction with a Jade Hoe to preserve its Spirituality.

Standing beside the Void Calamity Flower, he gently dug with the Spirit Hoe, the root system extending three feet.

Taking out a Jade Box, he carefully placed the Void Calamity Flower inside, then affixed it with a Tier Three Sealing Spirit Talisman,

Thus, the collection of the Void Calamity Flower was completed.

Master Qianfu sighed softly, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes,

After all, it was a Spirit Medicine passed down for many years within the sect, and giving it away suddenly was inevitable,

But he quickly adjusted his mindset, without this Spirit Medicine, their Celestial Talisman Sect might have already been destroyed by now.

Looking at Zhou Xun ahead, he recalled the current state of the Celestial Talisman Sect.

Although the people from Red Fire Island were defeated, the crisis was far from resolved.

One must know, the group of Demon Beasts attacking the Celestial Talisman Sect could not possibly be the Spirit Beasts from Red Fire Old Monster’s island,

With two Great Demons and several hundred Tier Two Demon Beasts,

Such numbers would be difficult for even a Beast Taming Sect with a long-standing tradition to easily muster.

Let alone a force assembled by a Loose Cultivator like Red Fire Old Monster.

Master Qianfu could ascertain that there was definitely involvement from the Sea Race behind this matter.

Their influence spanned the entire range of the outer seas, and such a power loss wouldn’t deter their ambitions for Celestial Talisman Island.

Upon thinking about this, he understood his senior brother Hu Daoquan’s intentions.

Thus, he cupped his hands towards Zhou Xun and tentatively asked:

"May I know what plans Master has next?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xun slightly smiled.

He naturally understood the implication of Master Qianfu’s words.

The current situation of the Celestial Talisman Sect was clear to him, with Master Qianfu, an Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivator,

it would be quite difficult to defend Celestial Talisman Island.

Thus, bringing in external reinforcement is the best solution,

With his recent display of peak combat strength, his capability was sufficient, and having saved the Celestial Talisman Sect from peril, the trust was adequate.

Naturally, he was the ideal candidate for external reinforcement.

"Next, I plan to immerse myself in cultivation for a period, the spiritual vein regions of the Celestial Talisman Sect are sufficient to meet my needs,"

"I wonder if Daoist Cao is willing to welcome this ’uninvited guest’?"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

He had obtained some gains within the Celestial Profound Secret Realm previously, which he needed time to digest and convert into cultivation and strength.

For instance, the Thunder Attribute Core, which could be refined into the Thunder Element Pill to increase cultivation,

The preliminary refined Thunderbolt Wings still needed significant time to be refined to Great Success to enhance his survival abilities,

The few captured Blood Demon Child needed their Blood Demon Crystals extracted...

This was why he decided to stay,

Regarding the last main medicine for the Nascent Soul Pill, he still had ample time to search for it, so it wasn’t an immediate urgency.

"Oh, indeed, we more than welcome, we are actually eager beyond words!"

With a delighted expression, Master Qianfu continued,

"With Master in charge, we at the Celestial Talisman Sect shall be secure, it’s just... just for such a great kindness, I am unsure how to repay you!"

Master Qianfu was overjoyed,

He now held immense admiration for his late senior brother Hu Daoquan.

Even after his own passing, he secured such a strong ally for their Celestial Talisman Sect.

Simultaneously, he quickly realized the unreserved generosity in taking out the Void Calamity Flower was undoubtedly the wisest decision.

"Daoist Hu and I hit it off immediately, it’s just a pity he passed too soon, Celestial Talisman Sect was his birthright,"

Zhou Xun couldn’t contain his admiration,

"Oh, since your sect has a long history, I believe you have preserved a lot of ancient classics..."

Zhou Xun’s curiosity was evident,

"From today onwards, all our cultivation techniques, scriptures, secret techniques, skill heritages, and etc., are at Master’s disposal!"

"From this day on, Master shall be accorded the same treatment as a Grand Elder within our Celestial Talisman Sect!"

Master Qianfu was elated,

He immediately felt immense respect for his earlier decision to offer the Spirit Medicine, certainly the wisest choice of his life.

"I immediately bonded with Daoist Hu, it’s just a shame that he left us too soon, the Celestial Talisman Sect is after all where he hailed from."

Zhou Xun said, leaving his curiosity unquenched,

"Oh, considering your sect’s long history, I’m sure you have preserved a considerable number of ancient classics..."

"Yes, yes, from today, our sect’s cultivation techniques, scriptures, spells and skills are yours to access, at will!"

"From now on, your status in the Celestial Talisman Sect shall be on par with the Grand Elder!"

Master Qianfu agreed, overjoyed.

"For now, I plan to begin my seclusion and focus on my cultivation for a period at the best cave mansion on Celestial Talisman Island, once occupied by Hu Daoquan."

Having decided on his course of action, Zhou Xun made his way to seclusion.
