Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 370 - 118: Blood Demon Child of a Late-Stage Corpse!
Before departing, Zhou Xun had one more thing to attend to.
The few Blood Demon Children buried three years ago have completed their nurturing.
Although they are not entirely True Pill Blood Demon Children, the ones refined by the Grand Elder of the Celestial Feather Sect are already powerful enough. If paired with a Fake Pill,
they could form a group of five, and their combined strength might not be much different from the complete version.
With a flicker, Zhou Xun appeared above Wangchuan Lake.
Then he transformed into a green Spirit Light and flew towards the Corpse Nurturing Land.
A few days ago, during his cultivation, he sensed that the five Blood Demon Children had reached Great Success.
This timing matched his estimations.
Thanks to a Quasi-Third Tier Corpse Nurturing Land, these Blood Demon Children were nurtured quickly.
Before long, Zhou Xun arrived at the Corpse Nurturing Land.
With a wave of his hand, he opened the Array, and instantly, a dense Yin Qi enveloped him.
A layer of green light automatically rose on Zhou Xun’s body, crackling as the Yin Qi tried to penetrate within.
Luckily, Zhou Xun’s cultivation was no longer low.
Otherwise, if an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator came here, it wouldn’t be long before the Yin Qi entered their body, damaging their foundation.
Zhou Xun took out the Blood Demon Bag, and with a single-handed spell, a streak of Spirit Light struck the Blood Demon Bag.
The Blood Demon Bag flashed a hint of red light, then floated up, expanding to four or five zhang in size, swelling.
A powerful suction force materialized out of thin air, quickly devouring the Yin Qi in the Corpse Nurturing Land.
As a True Pill level Blood Demon Child, it required more Yin Qi.
Therefore, before coming, Zhou Xun performed another sacrificial refining on this Blood Demon Bag, currently replenishing Yin Qi for it.
Then he went to the side of the five Blood Demon Children.
Four True Pills, one Fake Pill!
Zhou Xun cast a red Spirit Light with a spell from his hands.
"Rise!"
The Spirit Light entered the Blood Demon Children, disappearing in an instant.
Simultaneously, five Blood Demon Children, entirely blood red with black patterns appearing on their faces, flew out from the ground, hovering before Zhou Xun.
He carefully sensed the aura emanating from these five Blood Demon Children!
Especially the leading one, its presence was more imposing, unmatched by the other four combined.
"Just this one alone, its strength might not be inferior to Master Yun Yi of the past!"
Zhou Xun changed the spell, and instantly, the five Blood Demon Children shifted positions, cooperating seamlessly, as though they were one entity.
"Fortunately, this Fake Pill Blood Demon Child can also cooperate with them, only occasionally half a beat slower. However, with this Middle-Stage Core Formation among them, it can compensate for its shortcomings!"
In this way, the five Blood Demon Children, deployed according to the formation described in the Blood Demon Scripture, could present a united front in both attack and defense!
"Another Late-Stage Core Formation combat power!"
At this point, Zhou Xun had three Late-Stage combat powers in his possession!
Celestial Spirit Talisman Array, Purple Sky True Thunder Array, Blood Demon Child!
Moreover, both Blood Demon Child and Celestial Spirit Talisman Array relied on their own might, without consuming Zhou Xun’s Mana.
Blood Demon Child even possessed some self-acting combat capabilities, allowing it to face even a real Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator head-on.
Furthermore, Zhou Xun’s Thunder Pool had been enhanced by the "Thunder Element Premium Crystal," endowed with the power of Yin Thunder.
If someone dared engage him in magical combat.
He could first paralyze them with the Yin Thunder, then use the Purple Sky True Thunder Array to get close, activating the Extreme Blade for a lethal strike!
Having taken care of the Blood Demon Child, Zhou Xun dispersed the Yin Qi and closed the "Five Elements Yin Array," retaining only its concealment function.
After all, in a Quasi-Third Tier Corpse Nurturing Land, with dense Yin Qi, over time, certain evil spirits might arise.
Afterward, he returned to Wangchuan Lake, preparing for his departure.
...
Just as Zhou Xun set out, Master Profound Cloud approached him.
"Daoist Zhou, the Spiritual Qi here is so dense!"
As soon as Master Profound Cloud entered Wangchuan Lake, he was amazed by the concentration of Spiritual Qi here.
The hundred-mile-wide waters of Wangchuan Lake had a Spiritual Qi concentration not less than that of a Third Tier Middle-Grade, rivaling even his own Cave Mansion.
The mountain range of the Profound Cloud Sect was built upon a Third Tier Middle-Grade Spirit Vein.
Without activating the Spirit Gathering Array, the Spiritual Qi concentration in his Cave Mansion was typically at this level.
"By chance, I discovered a Third Tier High-Grade Spirit Vein at the bottom of the lake!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily and continued.
"Daoist Profound Cloud, since it’s your first time at my Wangchuan Lake, you must stay for a good while!"
"Hahaha!" Master Profound Cloud laughed and promptly made his way to Zhou Xun’s Jingxin Pavilion.
Upon reaching the Lake Heart Island, his face showed even more astonishment.
The entire island was filled with various rare Spirit Medicines, including some reaching the Third Tier.
"Such a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land truly makes this old man envious. Daoist Zhou’s life is indeed enviable!"
Zhou Xun led Master Profound Cloud to sit down in the Jingxin Pavilion.
As soon as they sat down, Xing Huai’an also arrived.
"And who might this Daoist friend be?" Master Profound Cloud inquired.
"Oh, this is my senior brother, Master Huaiyun, Xing Huai’an!"
After forming his Core, Xing Huai’an took the title "Master Huaiyun" to commemorate White Cloud Immortal City.
"So, it’s the esteemed disciple of Daoist White Cloud. I’ve heard much about you!" Master Profound Cloud courteously cupped his hands in greeting.
Being Master White Cloud’s Heir, Master Profound Cloud naturally had heard his name!
"Daoist Brother Profound Cloud, you’re too kind!"
Instantly, the three engaged in casual conversation.
"May I ask what brings Daoist Profound Cloud here?" Zhou Xun asked, puzzled.
"Haha, it’s good news!"
Master Profound Cloud chuckled, setting down his Spirit Tea,
"I wonder if either of you has heard of Tianhan City?"
Xing Huai’an paused upon hearing this, then said:
"To be honest, Daoist Profound Cloud, it was in Tianhan City that I formed my True Pill before returning to Xui Country!"
"I see. Then Daoist Xing must be well-acquainted with the Tianhan City Festival. I’ve come today to invite both of you to join me in attending the once-in-fifty-years Tianhan City Festival!"
Master Profound Cloud had traveled throughout the Eastern Wilderness after forming his Core and had attended the Tianhan City Festival once before.
"What a coincidence, Daoist Brother, we had the same thought. However, I wonder about my senior brother!"
As he spoke, Zhou Xun glanced at Xing Huai’an beside him.
After all, he had just returned from Tianhan City not long ago and might not be interested.
As expected, Zhou Xun’s guess was correct.
"I’ve just formed my Core recently, and I’m strapped for cash, so I won’t be going this time!" Xing Huai’an shook his head.
"Very well, I’ll leave Wangchuan Lake in your care, Senior Brother!"
Zhou Xun nodded.
Before leaving, Zhou Xun gathered several of his disciples, including Weih Qiuxin, and distributed the Tier Two Puppets he had refined in recent years to them.
Even his fourth disciple, Lin Youshan, at the Sixth-Layer Qi Refining, and his fifth disciple, Xu Shaoqing, at the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining, each received two Tier Two Middle-Grade Puppets.
"While I’m away, all affairs of Wangchuan Lake will be handled by your Master Xing!"
"As you command!"
....
Having arranged everything, Zhou Xun set out for Tianhan City.
Accompanying him, besides Master Profound Cloud, was Song Yiqing.
This trip to Tianhan City, including the return journey and the time spent there, would take about a year.
Thus, Song Yiqing also went along.
Master Profound Cloud controlled a Flying Ship, while Zhou Xun and Song Yiqing sat upon the back of the Crimson Flame Simurgh, proceeding slowly.
