When Zhou Xun departed, he did not conceal his Escape Light,

thus,

Master Qianfu soon received the news of Zhou Xun’s departure and was greatly shocked!

He quickly arrived in front of Zhou Xun’s Cave Mansion.

He threw a Sound Transmission Talisman inside and then waited anxiously.

"Let it not be true, or what will become of our Celestial Talisman Sect!"

As time passed, there was still no response from within!

One day, two days, three days...

Master Qianfu was distraught,

he really couldn’t understand why Zhou Xun would leave without a word!

Just like that, seven days passed in a flash, and Master Qianfu began to accept the fact of Zhou Xun’s departure,

and started preparing to arrange for the disciples to evacuate Celestial Talisman Island,

when suddenly, a blue Spirit Light rushed from afar, finally landing in the Talisman Cloud Cave on Celestial Talisman Island.

"This is, Master Zhou has returned!"

Sensing this, Master Qianfu was overjoyed, his entire being engulfed in excitement.

"Finally, he has returned!"

Muttering, Master Qianfu wasted no time and set up his Escape Light, arriving at the Talisman Cloud Cave.

"Greetings to Master Zhou!"

Looking at Zhou Xun in front of him, Master Qianfu’s face was full of excitement.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was rather puzzled and couldn’t help but ask:

"Daoist Cao, what’s the matter?"

"Master, you have finally returned, I thought... I thought you had abandoned us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but smile wryly,

he really didn’t expect that his brief departure would have such a big impact on them.

So he comforted:

"Rest assured, I just went out on business this time, I won’t abandon you, even if one day I decide to leave here,"

"I will definitely notify Daoist friends, have a good drink, and then depart gracefully!"

Only then did Master Qianfu feel slightly relieved, but hearing that Zhou Xun might still leave in the future, there remained a faint worry between his brows.

’I hope the master can stay a little longer!’

"I’m grateful to the master for this, if there is anything you need, feel free to instruct us!" Master Qianfu said sincerely.

"Speaking of which, there is indeed a matter I need to trouble the Daoist friend with!" Zhou Xun pondered for a moment and said something that delighted Master Qianfu,

"Please tell me Master!" Master Qianfu said joyfully.

In his view, he wasn’t afraid of Zhou Xun’s troubles, but afraid he had none.

"I need..."

Then, Zhou Xun listed the names of several rare Spirit Medicines,

these are some auxiliary herbs needed for refining Thunder Element Pill, which Zhou Xun didn’t have in his Storage Bag.

This was also what he was planning to do next.

To refine that Thunder Eagle Core into an elixir and quickly enhance his cultivation.

In less than half a day, Master Qianfu brought these Spirit Medicines again to him.

Master Qianfu personally delivering the goods surprised Zhou Xun a bit,

"This Daoist Cao is quite considerate!"

...

In the Cultivation Room, Zhou Xun took out a cushion and sat cross-legged upon it, his eyes tightly shut,

in front of him,

a several-inch blue wing floated, with arcs of thunder flickering upon it,

it was the "Thunderbolt Wings" that hadn’t been completed previously.

According to the "Purple Sky True Technique," to fully refine this Magical Treasure, it needed nine refinements,

and after each refinement, it needed to be placed in the Dantian for nurturing for three years,

therefore, refining this treasure would take at least twenty-seven years.

After all, this was a wondrous treasure that, besides a Lifebound Magical Treasure, could also be stored within the body,

the refining process was naturally not that simple,

it is said that in ancient times, there were even those who spent hundreds of years to refine a single treasure.

Today, Zhou Xun was about to conduct the first refinement of the Thunderbolt Wings.

With his hands forming spells, beams of Spirit Light hit the Thunderbolt Wings in front of him, causing arcs of thunder to arise.

With each refinement, Zhou Xun felt a deepening connection with the Thunderbolt Wings,

and its momentum increased by a fraction.

At the same time, Zhou Xun’s Divine Sense enveloped the Thunderbolt Wings, constantly cleansing and refining it,

three days later, Zhou Xun concluded this round of refining,

he opened his mouth and stored the Thunderbolt Wings into his Dantian to nurture,

in three years, it would undergo the next refinement.

...

After resting for three days, Zhou Xun entered the Cultivation Room once more,

only to see him sitting cross-legged, 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

in front of him was a crimson Pill Furnace of Tier Three Low-Grade.

It was obtained from the Celestial Talisman Sect’s storeroom.

Named "Red Mist," it seemed to be left by a certain elder of the Celestial Talisman Sect, refined mainly using Red Fire Essence,

it has certain enhancements for refining Tier Three Elixirs, counted as a rare item.

In addition to this, there were dozens of rare Spirit Medicines placed around, mostly obtained from the Celestial Profound Secret Realm.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, a flash of light transformed into a Jade Box that fell onto the ground.

Inside was the Tier Three High-Grade Inner Core of the Thunder Eagle.

With a flick of his finger, the Sealing Spirit Talisman was removed, and the box lid opened on its own!

"Zzz—"

As the box opened, fine arcs of thunder appeared in the air, making one’s heart tremble.

"It seems this Thunder Eagle has an extraordinary origin, just a single Inner Core can cause such phenomena!"

The Thunder Flood Dragon Core he obtained previously at the Thunder Accumulation Mountain Range was not this peculiar.

However, the more special this core is, the more potent its refined Thunder Element Pill will be, greatly benefiting his cultivation.

Zhou Xun formed a spell with both hands, pointing towards "Red Mist" in front of him,

"Boom—"

A bright yellow flame rose out of thin air, enveloping the entire Pill Furnace.

After a moment, Zhou Xun finished warming the furnace, and next was the formal refining.

With a wave of his hand, the furnace lid automatically opened, and the Spirit Medicines on the ground flowed in, accompanied by the Thunder Eagle Core,

entering the Pill Furnace together,

Zhou Xun shifted his spell, and the flames of the Pill Furnace instantly soared...

One day later,

suddenly,

an astonishing fragrance emitted from the Pill Furnace, filling the entire Cultivation Room.

"It’s done!"

Zhou Xun felt a surge of joy in his heart!

With a wave of his hand, the furnace lid opened automatically, and six bright white large elixirs flew out, landing in Zhou Xun’s palm.

Upon seeing the six elixirs, arcs of thunder flickered across their surfaces, Spirit Charm circulating.

All were authentic!

The medicinal power was even fuller than what had been refined before!

But it wasn’t over yet,

only to see Zhou Xun pat his waist and took out over thirty Tier Two Spirit Medicines,

utilizing the "Spring Condensation Technique," he extracted the Spirit Medicine Essence, integrating it into the six elixirs,

until they could no longer be enhanced, he then stopped,

at this point, the six elixirs were extremely crystalline, with faint golden patterns on their surfaces, extraordinarily remarkable!

"With these six elixirs, my Cultivation can swiftly advance again!"

...

Five days later,

Zhou Xun was now sitting calmly in the Cultivation Room, taking out a bright white elixir and ingesting it,

the medicinal power rose and transformed into pure Spiritual Qi!

Zhou Xun immediately operated the "Purple Sky True Technique," guiding the Spiritual Qi to circulate through his body, finally transforming into Mana, merging into the Inner Core in his Dantian,

just like that, time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

...

In the outside world, ever since the Celestial Talisman Island incident, the entire South Sea Region experienced frequent conflicts,

with the most noteworthy characteristic being that the attacking sides possessed vast numbers of demon beasts!
