Chapter 725: 65: Permanent Residence on Jixing Island, Tier Four Spiritual Banquet!

Looking at Jiang Wanning by his side, Zhou Xun instructed."Don’t worry, young master!"

Jiang Wanning nodded in agreement. She had studied the Hundred Insects Scripture for decades, so raising two Spirit Insects was naturally not a problem.

Arranging everything, Zhou Xun went to the living room,

he patted his waist and took out a yellowish gourd, which contained fifty jin of Pill Origin Wine base wine,

Before leaving, he specifically made a trip to the Wuli Commerce Association and bought a full hundred jin of Pill Origin Wine from Shopkeeper Gao.

Then, he took out a Jade Box, which contained the Inner Core of the Dragon Centipede Demon Emperor,

A Fire Attribute Tier Four Middle-Grade Demon Pill,

Opening the lid, a wave of heat surged out, and the temperature in the Cultivation Room began to rise dramatically,

"What a treasure!"

Zhou Xun waved his hand, and the Inner Core flew out automatically, heading into the gourd containing the Pill Origin Wine,

Then, he formed spells with his hands and cast them towards the gourd!

Next, he only needed to wait for several years for the Demonic Power in the Inner Core to slowly merge into the wine, turning into pure Spiritual Qi to support his cultivation!

Although the attribute didn’t quite match, and the effect was somewhat diminished, it was still an excellent Cultivation Holy Grade.

"In another five years, there will be another gourd of Pill Origin Wine!" Jiang Wanning laughed.

"It’s a pity this gourd is Fire Attribute, which conflicts with your Ice Attribute, you probably won’t be able to consume it!"

Zhou Xun said with some regret.

"The few jin you gave me are already enough for me to use until Peak Core Formation!" Jiang Wanning laughed.

With her current cultivation, consuming Pill Origin Wine was diluted dozens of times before consumption,

In total, its quantity was over two hundred jin.

Speaking of which, with Jiang Wanning’s current cultivation conditions, it might really be possible for her to achieve Nascent Soul in the future.

After all, she also had an Ice Attribute Spiritual Root, with excellent aptitude.

After a brief conversation, having resolved Jiang Wanning’s cultivation issues, Zhou Xun entered the Cultivation Room,

and began his daily cultivation.

He took out a Cushion, sat cross-legged,

then took out the gourd containing the Thunder Attribute Tier Four Middle-Grade Pill Origin Wine, pulled out the cork, and took a big gulp.

"Zzzla!"

Thunder Arcs exploded inside Zhou Xun’s mouth,

but with his physique comparable to a Tier Four Demon Emperor, such Thunder Arcs naturally posed no threat to him.

As the wine entered his stomach, streams of pure Thunder Spirit Qi surged up, filling his meridians.

Zhou Xun immediately started operating the Purple Sky Thunder Technique, guiding this Spiritual Qi through the Great Cycle Operation,

Finally turning into Spiritual Power, merging into the Nascent Soul within his Dantian,

This soul had grown considerably, about one and a half inches large,

with a face identical to Zhou Xun’s, eyes tightly shut, as it sensed the fusion of this Spiritual Power, it showed a satisfied expression.

After half a day passed, cultivation was complete,

Zhou Xun then took off his clothes, revealing his smooth, fair upper body, with a slightly open mouth,

A two-inch tall Purple Jade Square Platform flew out; it was his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Thunder Pool,

As soon as it appeared, tiny Thunder Arcs flickered in the air,

Since advancing to a High-Grade Magical Treasure, the Thunder Pool had become increasingly unfathomable, with its power continuously elevating.

, skimming across the surface, seeping into the body.

The violent Thunder Power, under his precise control, moved like a tamed beast along designated meridian routes.

Thin strands of Thunder Arc continuously tempered his muscles, bones, and viscera, bringing waves of stinging pain while also stimulating the deep potential within his body.

His body seemed to transform into a massive iron ingot, undergoing relentless forging,

with each impact and refinement, his body became even more robust,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes shut tight, a trace of agony flitting across his face.

His entire being emanated a faint purplish hue.

Thus, several hours passed, with Zhou Xun gradually finishing his exercise, the purple receding from his surface, revealing his original skin.

White as jade, without a hint of blemish, beneath the skin, there seemed to linger a faint sound of Thunder Arc.

Thus, today’s body tempering completed,

his physique grew slightly stronger than before, edging closer to the Eleventh Layer.

Just like that, three days raced by.

...

On the appointed day,

at the break of dawn, Master Huaijie arrived as scheduled,

attired in a neat white monk’s robe, a streak of excitement adorning his face.

"Greetings, Daoist Zhou!"

Upon seeing Zhou Xun, Master Huaijie bowed.

"Master, there’s no need to be formal, please have a seat inside!" With that, Zhou Xun led Master Huaijie to the meeting room,

where they took their seats as host and guest.

Zhou Xun waved his hand and produced two exquisite tea cups, entirely jade green in color, made from Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Jade.

He then retrieved a few tea leaves and placed them evenly in the two cups,

forming a spell with his hands, he tapped lightly!

Moments later, the tea water started making a ’glug-glug’ sound, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

"This is Spirit Mist Tea from my hometown, Master, feel free to try it!"

Zhou Xun said as he handed over a cup of Spirit Tea!

"Thank you!"

Master Huaijie’s mind was filled with the Tier Four Mountain Monarch carcass, greatly impatient,

but he lacked the mood to drink tea.

Yet, unable to refuse the hospitality, he calmed his excitement and took the Spirit Tea,

sipping a tiny bit,

as the tea entered his throat, a sweet and refreshing warmth rose from his abdomen, gently circulating through his body,

and his previously restless state of mind also became tranquil and peaceful!

"This flavor is truly unique!"

After some small talk, Zhou Xun did not keep Master Huaijie waiting any longer and patted his waist,

making a Mountain Monarch carcass appear before them.

Master Huaijie’s eyes shimmered with excitement and anticipation as he viewed the Tier Four Mountain Monarch before him,

sensing the faint demonic power fluctuations and suppression emanating from the carcass,

he nodded continuously:

"Good, good!"

"Indeed a Tier Four Mountain Monarch,"

Master Huaijie carefully examined the Mountain Monarch’s body, murmuring as if contemplating where to start.

After a moment, he flipped his hand and drew a sharp Spirit Blade, cautiously beginning to process the Mountain Monarch’s skin and flesh.

His movements were skilled and precise, each cut exactly right, separating the skin without damaging the flesh structure within.

Soon, the Mountain Monarch was fully dissected, and a subtle scent of demon blood filled the air.

Having finished, he waved his hand, and a Spirit Light flew from his waist, transforming into a giant cauldron over ten zhang in size,

floating in the air.

He waved his hand again and a large piece of the Mountain Monarch’s flesh flew into the cauldron, then he retrieved a series of Spirit Materials, all of which flew into the great cauldron.

Forming a spell with his hands, he pointed towards the giant cauldron!

"Boom——"

An intense yellow flame immediately surged, engulfing the cauldron,

while Master Huaijie’s mind was completely immersed in the cauldron, constantly adjusting spell and flame.

Thus, as time ticked away,

a peculiar aroma gradually filled the cave mansion, arousing one’s appetite!

Meanwhile, he could feel that the aroma contained exceptionally pure spiritual power, and once this Spiritual Banquet was completed, it would surely be an excellent auxiliary spiritual object for cultivation.

Two full days passed, the cooking finally finished,

Master Huaijie slowly opened his eyes, waved his hands, and the flame gradually extinguished.

A smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Daoist Zhou, it seems our efforts were not in vain, the Spiritual Banquet is complete."

With a wave of his hand, the cauldron lid automatically opened, and out flew a piece of crystal-clear and translucent meat essence!

It was placed on a plate that had been prepared in advance, looking extremely enticing.

"This banquet might be called ’Mountain Monarch Essence Stew,’ Daoist Zhou, please give it a try!"

The meat, originally over ten zhang in size, after cooking, left only this small dish before him.

Zhou Xun picked up his chopsticks, took a small piece, and slowly placed it into his mouth.

That small piece of Mountain Monarch Essence Stew melted instantly, sliding down his throat into his abdomen,

instantly, an immense and pure spiritual power surged up, swiftly coursing through all his body meridians.

Zhou Xun immediately operated a cultivation technique, guiding this spiritual power to cycle throughout his body’s circulation.

Eventually, it turned into mana and flowed into his dantian.

After a long while, Zhou Xun opened his eyes, showing an expression of appreciation.

"Master, your skills are indeed extraordinary and transcendent, this stew is truly a rare spiritual object of the world."

Just that small mouthful was equivalent to Zhou Xun consuming a small sip of Pill Origin Wine.

At this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His idea of using a Spiritual Banquet to aid cultivation was feasible.

"It seems that for a short period, I won’t have to worry about spiritual objects for cultivation!"
