Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 293 - 41: Dragon Carp Advancement!
Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.
Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, eyes closed, fully operating the Spirit Wood True Technique.
Streams of Spiritual Qi penetrated his body, entering Zhou Xun’s meridians.
Then, following the circulation path of the Spirit Wood True Technique, it completed one Grand Circulation, converging into the Dantian, and merging into the one hundred thirty-ninth drop of Liquid Magical Power.
Beside him.
The avatar summoned the Profound Wood Vine.
At this moment, after three years of cultivation, the Profound Wood Vine had reached Tier Three High-Grade Extreme.
Zhou Xun guessed that reaching Tier Three Top-Grade would happen soon.
The avatar then tapped his waist Storage Bag, a Spirit Light flew out and landed in front of him.
It was a foot-long wooden box, its surface still sealed with a Sealing Spirit Talisman.
As he was about to open it, his hand paused slightly.
"Forget it, better to replace it with a Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Medicine!"
The avatar muttered to himself.
The Profound Wood Vine was only a hair’s breadth away from the next level.
The time to breakthrough could be very short, maybe the next moment, or it could be long, dragging on for months or even years.
This was uncertain.
Generally, a Tier Three High-Grade Lifebound Spirit Plant was adequately nourished using Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Medicine Essence.
But Zhou Xun discovered that elevating the level of Spirit Medicine Essence just before a breakthrough was very beneficial for Lifebound Spirit Plant advancement.
Immediately, Zhou Xun put away the wooden box and replaced it with a Tier Two Top-Grade Azure Sky Flower.
He chanted the Spring Condensation Scripture incantation.
Soon, a green light spot floated out from the Azure Sky Flower.
Under the avatar’s control, it drifted toward the Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Profound Wood Vine.
As the green light touched the Profound Wood Vine, it integrated, emitting a verdant glow.
Simultaneously, the Profound Wood Vine suddenly became exceptionally green, visibly growing more than three inches before stopping.
Having dealt with Spirit Medicine for years, Zhou Xun knew that this Profound Wood Vine had advanced.
Successfully promoted to Tier Three Top-Grade.
"It seems my Spiritual Root will be enhanced again!"
Zhou Xun smiled slightly.
The opportune moment cannot be planned!
Thus, Zhou Xun’s true body paused his cultivation.
Gazing at the Profound Wood Vine before the avatar, Zhou Xun did not make additional moves, instead performing the Spring Condensation Scripture incantation directly.
Then pointed toward the Profound Wood Vine.
Soon after, a thumb-sized green orb flew out.
As bright as when extracting the Guiyuan Grass previously.
Carefully controlling this orb, it moved toward his body.
Next, an enveloping warmth ensued, followed by a sensation of sublimation.
After a long while, all bodily anomalies gradually receded, everything returning to calm.
Zhou Xun tapped the Storage Bag, retrieving the Spirit Testing Disc.
Placed both hands on it!
Indeed, Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity, sixty-one points!
For this result, Zhou Xun was unsurprised.
Having used the Spring Condensation Scripture to enhance the Spiritual Root for years without failure, he naturally had confidence.
Only a small pile of ash remained of the Profound Wood Vine after the essence extraction.
He still had two Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines and one Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Medicine left in hand.
At this pace, it would sustain only twelve more years before his Spiritual Root would again stagnate.
"Seems I need to seek some High-Tier Spiritual Medicine sooner!"
Having consumed the Profound Wood Vine, the avatar took out another Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine—the Purple Orchid.
Sacrificing it to become the Lifebound Spirit Plant.
Awaiting extraction again in three years.
...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Zhou Xun successfully completed the one hundred thirty-ninth drop of Liquid Magical Power condensing.
Now he has begun condensing the one hundred fortieth drop.
On this day, Zhou Xun was diligently cultivating in the Cultivation Room.
Suddenly, a flame flew in and transformed into a Talisman, stopping above the Cultivation Room’s restriction.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand, and the Talisman fell into his palm.
With a tap on the income-expenditure table, a Spirit Light flew out and landed on the Talisman.
Immediately after, a melodious female voice, as pleasant as an oriole, sounded:
"Husband, Xiaojin has awakened and is immediately beginning to charge toward Tier Two!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s true body immediately halted his cultivation, his form flashing, he left the Cultivation Room, heading toward Lake Heart Island.
It wasn’t long before Zhou Xun appeared at the rear cliff of Lake Heart Island.
"Husband, you’re back!"
Song Yiqing was wearing an elegant simple dress, her hair pinned up high, looking graceful.
Watching Zhou Xun fly over the lake surface, she wasn’t surprised.
Over the years, the two had spent every day together.
Knowing that Zhou Xun had another retreat spot, she naturally was aware.
But since Zhou Xun didn’t take the initiative, she naturally wouldn’t ask.
"How is Xiaojin?"
Zhou Xun asked.
A few years ago, Song Yiqing suddenly reported to Zhou Xun that the Cyan Gold Dragon Carp, having reached Tier One Peak, didn’t attempt to break through.
Instead, it inexplicably fell into a deep sleep.
Fortunately, after Zhou Xun’s examination, he found no problems, so he let it be.
The Dragon Carp slept for nine years.
Now it finally woke up. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Unexpectedly, upon waking, it immediately wanted to break through to Tier Two.
Zhou Xun had prepared nothing for this, including the Golden Spirit Pill for assisting breakthroughs.
Back then, the Profound Armor Armadillo’s smooth breakthrough owed much to the Golden Spirit Pill.
But things had come to this; it was too late to refine one now.
"I sensed Xiaojin’s aura, so I hurried over,"
"When I arrived here, he was already enveloped in this water sphere!" Saying this, Song Yiqing pointed her fair finger toward a place on the lake surface.
Looking in the direction she pointed, one could see a more than ten feet large cyan-gold water sphere floating on the water surface.
"This demon beast’s advancement is truly unique!"
Zhou Xun marveled.
All he could do now was wait.
About half a day passed, and suddenly the water sphere began to shrink.
Immediately, it felt as if a powerful suction was generated, rapidly gathering a vast amount of Spirit Energy toward the sphere.
And this trend was intensifying.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun knew that the Dragon Carp had reached a crucial stage of advancement.
Without hesitation, he tapped the Storage Bag, taking out the Array Flag controlling the Wangchuan Lake Array.
Injecting Mana, he waved it down heavily.
Instantly, the wind and clouds changed.
Within the hundreds of miles radius of Wangchuan Lake, the Spirit Energy seemed to receive some sort of guidance, all converging toward Zhou Xun’s location.
At the same time, Spirit Energy outside the array began moving toward Wangchuan Lake.
So, visibly, the Spirit Energy concentration around the Dragon Carp rapidly increased.
Tier Two Low-Grade, Tier Two Middle-Grade, Tier Two High-Grade...
With Zhou Xun’s help, the Spirit Energy formed a more than ten feet large vortex, pouring toward the Dragon Carp.
At the same time, the Dragon Carp’s momentum continued to rise, with its Demonic Power rapidly increasing.
Until a certain critical point was reached, and it stopped.
But the Spirit Energy continued pouring inside without stopping.
This was the final hurdle for the Dragon Carp’s breakthrough.
Like a dam, blocking the way.
The Spirit Energy was like water, constantly pouring in, accumulating, waiting for the final release.
Finally, at a certain moment, the barrier could no longer hold, and everything became clear!
The momentum on the Dragon Carp suddenly surged.
"Charging to Tier Two, success!"
