Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 707: Chapter 55: Return to Tianhan City, Beginning Nascent Soul Formation!

There is still a chance to break through to the Core Formation.

As for Shi Wanrong, although she has improved after my last reprimand, she is now at the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment. Without external interference, it’s likely she’ll stop short of Core Formation.

"Wanrong, in terms of aptitude, you’re much better than Jingsong, yet your cultivation is so far behind. Do you really want me, your master, to send you off at that time?"

Among these disciples, he was most emotionally attached to his second disciple, after all, she had been by Zhou Xun’s side since childhood.

"Master, I’ve disappointed you!" For her, Zhou Xun was akin to a father figure.

"Alright, from now on you’ll follow me back to Wangchuan Lake to cultivate. Come out only when you’ve reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment!"

Zhou Xun said indisputably.

"Yes!" Shi Wanrong, seeing her master speak in such a manner, could only nod and agree.

Then he looked toward Weih Qiuxin, his foremost general under his command.

Currently, she had already reached the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the peak, and he nodded with satisfaction.

In terms of pursuit for the Dao, among his disciples and subordinates, this woman was the best.

"Fairy Weih’s progress is commendable, her mana is very solid. It seems she can aim for Core Formation within a few years!"

"I have a Crystal Condensing Pill here, I bestow it upon you!" He said, taking out a pill bottle and handing it over.

In his plans, after Weih Qiuxin reached Core Formation, she would naturally take over the position of Chief Steward of Tianhan City.

Now, the Crystal Condensing Pill he granted had reached a super-grade level.

With his strength, even if word got out, no one would dare to plot against him, they could only try to ingratiate themselves and hope to receive one or two pills as rewards.

When one’s strength is low, it’s naturally best to conceal one’s abilities,

but when at the absolute peak, one must reveal at the right time to intimidate the petty.

"Thank you, Island Master!"

Weih Qiuxin accepted the pill and bowed in thanks.

"As for you two!"

Zhou Xun pondered for a moment, and then took out two jade bottles, which contained an essence refined from a Tier Three High-Grade Demon Pill.

These were treasures greatly coveted even by Core Formation Masters.

"Inside these are spirit liquids, I grant them to you two, cultivate well, don’t let me down!"

With these two bottles of spirit liquid, their cultivation would surely accelerate greatly.

It was only because the two were his direct disciples that Zhou Xun would spend so much.

Following that, Zhou Xun spoke about the task he summoned them for,

Upon hearing that Zhou Xun intended to set up a teleportation array between "Tianhan City—Wangchuan Lake," the three were pleasantly surprised,

This way, they could return to Wangchuan Lake without delaying matters in Tianhan City.

Especially Zhou Jingsong and his wife, since the clan headquarters he established was located near Wangchuan Lake, at Jimin Mountain.

"Master’s act is truly a boon for all Eastern Wilderness Cultivators!" Zhou Jingsong praised.

"Unfortunately, the most crucial aspect of setting up this teleportation array is the ’Profound Void Crystal,’ you’ll need to search for it across the Eastern Wilderness,"

"As long as there’s sufficient ’Profound Void Crystal,’ we could establish a teleportation network throughout the Eastern Wilderness!" Zhou Xun instructed.

"Yes!"

In the following time, Zhou Xun went on to explain cultivation doubts to them,

With his Nascent Soul cultivation (transformation), solving issues of a few Foundation Establishment cultivators came naturally!

...

Five days later, Zhou Xun chose a large hall next to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, establishing the Celestial Star Hall.

The layout was consistent with that of White Cloud Immortal City.

Entering the hall,

Zhou Xun replicated the process, taking out the prepared array materials, piece by piece of spirit jade being sculpted and assembled in his hands with every detail sought to be perfect.

Finally, after enduring several days of effort, all spirit jades were refined and then assembled into an array base according to the array map,

Then he took out the previously processed Profound Void Crystal and placed it into the array base, striking a spell.

The teleportation array flashed with light, announcing the successful setup of this array.

Zhou Xun exhaled deeply, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Next came the test run.

Only Zhou Xun saw as he took out a Tier Two Demon Monkey, using a restriction to bind it and placing it at the center of the array, while attaching a teleportation talisman to it.

Given the monkey’s strength, without the protection of the teleportation talisman, it would be torn apart by the spatial pulling force during teleportation.

Having done all this,

Zhou Xun patted his storage bag, taking out five middle-grade spirit stones to place them in the five recesses around the array.

He then took out a token, striking a spirit light.

The array lit up instantly,

Then five beams of spirit light shot from the corners onto the demon monkey.

The next moment, the light flashed.

The demon monkey’s figure disappeared from the teleportation array, just awaiting Wang Shun and the others to teleport it back meant the teleportation array was successfully set up!

Previously, he instructed Wang Shun to watch over the teleportation array and to teleport the monkey back once it arrived.

Sure enough, after a few dozen breaths, the demon monkey reappeared before his eyes.

Zhou Xun stepped forward to inspect,

The monkey was completely unharmed.

Nearby, Zhou Jingsong and others were overjoyed upon seeing this,

Which meant this teleportation array had finally been set up successfully, and they could freely travel between "Tianhan City and Wangchuan Lake" in the future.

"Come, let’s test!"

He spoke, handing three teleportation talismans to Zhou Jingsong and the others.

"Master, what is this?"

"This is a teleportation talisman, without this talisman for protection during teleportation, it is very easy to be torn apart by the spatial pulling force, where a demise is extremely likely!"

Zhou Xun explained.

"I see!" Zhou Jingsong nodded,

"Later on, we could sell these teleportation talismans and likely earn a large sum!"

Once the three stood still, they each activated the talisman and stuck it on themselves,

Then Zhou Xun picked up the token and struck the array,

Not long after, the teleportation array activated again, flashing lights, Zhou Xun and the others vanished from site,

Their feet again landed on solid ground meant the teleportation had ended!

"Master!"

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister!"

At that moment, a surprised voice came over,

Only to see Wang Shun and the three siblings, along with Xing Huai’an and others, all showed faces of surprise,

"We really teleported over!"

Everyone’s faces were brimming with excitement and joy.

Zhou Jingsong pumped his fist excitedly: "Master, this teleportation array is just too amazing! It will make our tasks much easier."

Xing Huai’an also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, with this teleportation array, connections across the Eastern Wilderness will be much closer," everyone nodded,

"Next, publicize the news about this teleportation array, and charge a thousand spirit stones per use!"

"Yes!"

...

In the days that followed, the teleportation array between Tianhan City and Wangchuan Lake became the most talked-about topic in the Eastern Wilderness.

Many cultivators came here specifically for the experience,

The teleportation array can transfer ten people at once, averaging out to only a hundred spirit stones, even Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators could bite the bullet and afford it.

In just less than half a year, it brought Zhou Xun nearly a million spirit stones in revenue.

Then, he openly collected ’Profound Void Crystals’ throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Cultivators below Core Formation who handed in a Profound Void Crystal could receive full cultivation support at Wangchuan Lake, including top-level elixirs like the Crystal Condensing Pill, offered freely,

For those above Core Formation, breakthrough bottlenecks would be rewarded with the Purple Essence Pill and Purple Spirit Pill,

Sure enough, under great reward, results soon emerged,

A fallen cultivation clan handed over a "Profound Void Crystal," sent their disciples to Wangchuan Lake as disciples, even entering Zhou Jingsong’s tutelage,

Receiving a promise of full cultivation support up to the Core Formation Stage.

Thus, the entire Eastern Wilderness plunged into a fervor to seek ’Profound Void Crystals.’

And this Profound Void Crystal, Zhou Xun then used it to establish the teleportation array with the Celestial Feather Sect.

After completing these, Zhou Xun entered cultivation.

A year later, Lake Heart Island Cave Mansion, Cultivation Room,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, small whirlpools formed on the surface of his body, constantly drawing the surrounding spiritual qi within.

Suddenly!

Zhou Xun’s eyes opened, a harmonious and perfect aura emanated from him,

"Finally, at Peak Core Formation, it’s been so long, my primary body should begin Nascent Soul Formation!"
