Chapter 547: Chapter 156: Farewell, Xiaoqing!

Hearing Zhou Xun’s voice,

the emaciated elder felt a chill down his back, and his heart couldn’t help but change dramatically!

"I’ve been discovered?"

"Impossible, he’s bluffing me!" Countless thoughts flashed through the old man’s mind in an instant, but in the end, he resigned himself to fate.

The fact he could accurately find the fish where he was hiding isn’t enough to indicate a problem?

The shark’s belly suddenly opened a gap, and then an emaciated elder crawled out from it.

Seeing the expressionless Zhou Xun, he couldn’t help but smile wryly:

"Can you tell me where I slipped up?"

"There were no slip-ups; your concealing technique is profound, no less than mine. If it were another Nascent Soul Cultivator, perhaps you really would have escaped!"

"But unfortunately, you encountered me!"

"I am willing to hand over all my possessions, can you spare my life!" the elder said, patting his waist!

Just then, a white light suddenly flashed,

to reveal a thumb-thick Yin Thunder, striking the emaciated elder before him, making him freeze instantly!

Afterward, Zhou Xun reached out with his hand and grabbed the elder,

only to find he held a bead, red and blue intertwined,

"Red Flame Thunderfire Pearl?"

"An ancient disposable magical treasure, with power comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator!"

Zhou Xun said blandly, then formed a seal with both hands, pointed a few times at the elder’s dantian, and set up a restriction.

Only then did he begin to inspect the elder’s storage bag,

"It seems you’ve collected quite a few good things. This person’s storage bag unexpectedly contains four Tier Four Low-Grade Spirit Medicines, and more than twenty Tier Three Spirit Medicines!"

This is already close to one-sixth of the entire relic site!

Now, they conveniently fell into my hands.

Zhou Xun continued to search and finally discovered two jade boxes with sealing spirit talismans in the corners of the storage bag.

With a light pat, he took out the two jade boxes!

Gently, he flicked a finger, causing the talisman on one jade box to automatically fall off,

and then Zhou Xun reached out and gently opened it,

Inside lay a foot-tall, pristine white flower resembling beautiful jade!

As if carved from spirit jade!

"Void Tribulation Flower!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed,

which meant that inside the other jade box was surely the "Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng."

Unable to contain his joy, Zhou Xun waved his hand to slowly open the other jade box,

As soon as the lid was opened a crack, a splash of purple light spilled out!

Zhou Xun was even more expectant in his heart!

When the box was fully opened, there lay a humanoid, foot-long, entirely purple Nine-Leaf Spirit Ginseng quietly resting inside.

"It really is the ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’, its shape and spirituality exactly as recorded!"

"After searching for more than twenty years and overcoming countless hardships, I finally have you in my hands!"

"With this, the four main materials for Nascent Soul Formation are all in hand, paving a smooth road to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

Zhou Xun immediately closed the boxes of these two Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects, relabeled them with sealing spirit talismans, and carefully stored them in his own storage bag.

Then, Zhou Xun turned his gaze to the elder in front of him,

This person who tried to seize his Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects was a significant enemy, naturally, he couldn’t let him off lightly!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, a thought rising in his mind.

With a subsequent slap at his waist, black light flickered, transforming into a foot-long small banner falling into his palm,

then formed seals with both hands, pointing at the banner face,

"Stop sleeping, get to work!"

"Roar roar!"

As soon as the words fell, an excited cry came from within the banner face,

Then, a cyan light flew out, landing on the ground, transforming into a more than ten-foot-tall monkey,

It was the Soul-Devouring Beast, Cyan Ape!

At their level, there was no difference between the sea and the land!

The Cyan Ape’s fur was extremely glossy, radiating a faint golden light, clearly having improved a lot compared to before.

The Cyan Ape emerged, showing an extremely excited expression.

Since Zhou Xun last released him, decades had passed, and he was growing impatient within the banner.

As soon as it came out, it gazed fixedly at the immobilized emaciated elder across from it!

The elder shuddered from the depths of his divine soul in fear!

You must know that he was a genuine Peak Core Formation Cultivator,

At that moment, Zhou Xun’s voice sounded,

"Xiaoqing, go, this person is yours!"

The Cyan Ape heard and was exceedingly happy, shaking a few times like a cat seeing a fish,

Then a slight glow from its nose,

A cyan misty light sprayed out, enveloping the emaciated elder opposite,

Under the light, the elder’s body stiffened, and then a black shadow was pulled out,

being tugged continuously!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun slightly frowned,

Unexpectedly, this person could withstand Xiaoqing’s soul-devouring power,

"It seems Xiaoqing is somewhat struggling against a Peak Core Formation Cultivator, oh well, I’ll give it a hand!"

Zhou Xun flicked his finger, a chopstick-thick white lightning instantly struck the emaciated elder!

The elder felt his divine soul abruptly stiffen as if consciousness was lost for a moment,

"No good!"

By the time his awareness returned, it was too late!

"Whoosh—"

He saw his divine soul, in the form of a shadow, being enveloped by cyan light,

helplessly pulled into the belly of the Cyan Ape in a flash.

The Cyan Ape contentedly patted its belly and then affectionately nuzzled Zhou Xun’s arm, expressing its immense satisfaction!

Zhou Xun also patted the Cyan Ape’s head before pointing back at the small banner!

Even though reluctant, the Cyan Ape obediently transformed into a cyan light and flew back inside,

Then Zhou Xun waved his hand, storing both the small banner and the elder’s corpse into the storage bag.

This Peak Core Formation Cultivator’s corpse was the highest-grade material for refining the Blood Demon Child!

During this outing, Zhou Xun’s greatest harvest, aside from those spirit medicines and spiritual soil, was these cultivators’ corpses,

of which there were as many as seventeen intact bodies,

including five Late-Stage Cultivators,

If refined into Blood Demon Children, and Blood Demon Crystals extracted, perhaps the four Tier Three Middle-Grade Peak Blood Demon Children it possesses,

could be upgraded to Tier Three High-Grade, even Tier Three Peak is not out of reach!

...

A month later, east of Celestial Talisman Island,

A giant Great Demon, dozens of feet in size, with a tiger head and leopard body, and wings on its back, flew slowly,

On its top stood three cultivators.

The leader was elegant and refined, with an extraordinary aura, a white long robe enhancing his elegance, this person was none other than the returning Zhou Xun.

Behind him stood one man and one woman,

The man, appearing in his twenties, had a simple and honest face and unrefined temperament, the woman wore a blue dress, looking elegant and graceful.

"Big brother, I’ve long heard of Celestial Talisman Island’s renowned name, known as the leader of the talisman path in our South Sea, seeing it today, it truly is extraordinary!"

Wenn Yue said, looking at the island ahead.

"What do you think of cultivating here?" Zhou Xun said indifferently,

"We are just wandering Loose Cultivators, it’s fortunate to find a place to settle, we must thank you, big brother!"

Just then, a figure flew up from the island, Master Qianfu!

Zhou Xun smiled slightly at this sight and said:

"Daoist Cao, I’ve brought you two strong reinforcements!"
