Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Chapter 414 - 23: A Bountiful Harvest!

"Dragon Blood Holy Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s heart stirred.

This Dragon Blood Holy Fruit is a renowned Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, capable of significantly enhancing the cultivator’s physical resistance, thereby increasing the chances of surviving the Thunder Tribulation.

At the same time, this fruit is also one of the four main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill.

Zhou Xun had previously obtained the "Profound Cold Ice Marrow Liquid." If he could acquire the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit, half of the Nascent Soul Pill materials would be secured.

This was very important for Zhou Xun, who aspired to the path of Dao.

Thus, he raised his hand slightly, stopping the next action of the Cyan Ape.

Seeing this, Yuan Mountain breathed a sigh of relief and pleaded:

"Daoist Lii, I don’t ask for you to spare my life, just don’t let this monster devour me, give me a chance to reincarnate!"

"Tell me the news about the ’Dragon Blood Holy Fruit’ first, and I’ll consider it!" Zhou Xun said calmly.

"If Daoist Lii doesn’t agree, I will never reveal the news of the ’Dragon Blood Holy Fruit’!" Yuan Mountain said decisively.

"Is that so!"

Zhou Xun smiled indifferently and lightly waved his finger down!

Immediately, the Cyan Ape acted again, enveloping Yuan Mountain’s Divine Soul once more in gray mystical light.

Yuan Mountain could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Spare me, Daoist, spare me, the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit is in the Thunder Flood Dragon Nest, Daoist spare..."

Before he finished speaking, he was sucked into the belly of the Cyan Ape.

The Cyan Ape patted its belly contentedly, rubbed affectionately against Zhou Xun’s arm, and was then returned by Zhou Xun into the Small Banner, which was stored in the Storage Bag.

Yuan Mountain’s fate had been sealed ever since he chose to try to take over Zhou Xun’s body.

No matter what, Zhou Xun would not have spared him.

Having tidied up everything, Zhou Xun couldn’t be bothered to count his spoils and flew directly to Thunder Stone Peak.

...

In a short while, Zhou Xun arrived at the foot of Thunder Stone Peak.

Then he flew upwards, the higher he went, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy became, reaching a Tier Four Low-Grade level at the peak.

"A Tier Four Spirit Vein, no wonder it could nurture a Tier Three High-Grade Thunder Flood Dragon!"

Zhou Xun exclaimed.

He immediately began searching nearby, and soon, a cave entrance several feet in size appeared before him.

As he stepped in, an extremely pure Thunder Spirit Qi rushed over, making Zhou Xun feel like a fish back in the water.

"It seems this cave has been specially altered; if it weren’t for the Dao Yu Sect cultivators eyeing it covetously, I’d truly want to seclude myself here for cultivation!"

There was a hint of regret in Zhou Xun’s voice as he continued into the cave.

He moved forward over four hundred feet, and a large stone hall appeared before him.

Around the stone hall grew blue diamond-shaped Spirit Crystals resembling stone pillars, undoubtedly Tier Two Thunder Attribute Materials—Thunder Crystals.

The greatest function of Thunder Crystals is aggregating Thunder Attribute Spiritual Qi, and when in large quantities, they can significantly benefit Nascent Soul Stage cultivators,

For instance, the Thunder Crystals here collectively provide immense advantages to the Thunder Flood Dragon.

However, this item can only be found in special Thunder Attribute vein mines.

The vast quantity of Thunder Crystals in this cave must have been arranged deliberately by someone.

"Now, it’s a windfall for me!" Zhou Xun couldn’t help but beam with joy!

Suddenly, among the Thunder Crystals, a fist-sized blue crystal as azure as the sky and as lustrous as glass caught Zhou Xun’s attention.

"This is... Thunder-Encompassing Crystal!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed; his purpose for coming here was precisely for this "Thunder-Encompassing Crystal," and now he had finally achieved his desire.

He immediately retrieved an exquisite Jade Box from his Storage Bag, carefully picked the "Thunder-Encompassing Crystal," placed it in the Jade Box, and then affixed a Sealing Spirit Talisman to it.

Along with the multitude of Thunder Crystals around the stone hall, he stored them all in his Storage Bag.

Then he began searching around the stone hall for that "Dragon Blood Holy Fruit."

After all, according to Yuan Mountain’s words, that Nascent Soul Spiritual Object was supposed to be in this cave.

Zhou Xun searched around and finally found traces on a stone platform.

There was a small pile of ashes here, and signs that a Spirit Plant had grown nearby.

Seeing this trace, Zhou Xun sighed,

"As expected, it couldn’t be that easy!"

"Someone got here first!"

"However, as long as it wasn’t taken by a Dao Yu Sect cultivator, that’s fine!"

Then Zhou Xun took out his Small Divination Compass, took a small part of the ashes, and began divination.

After a moment, Zhou Xun put away the Compass.

According to the divination, the location of this Spirit Medicine was not toward the Dao Yu Sect in the south but in the north.

This was in the opposite direction from the Dao Yu Sect, already outside the direction of the Chaotic Domain.

"Well, I’ll have the chance to investigate in the future!"

The most urgent matter for Zhou Xun now was to quickly repair the Thunder Seed and then remove the Blood Soul Technique from himself.

Subsequently, to secretly transport his true self to the Central Continent via a Teleportation Array for Core Formation.

As for Nascent Soul Formation, there was still time, and future preparations could be made.

With these thoughts, Zhou Xun did not linger and left Thunder Stone Peak immediately, transforming into an ordinary-looking young man.

As for the identity of Lii Feiyu, he no longer planned to use it.

He then rode the Escape Light towards Primordial Immortal City.

...

Just two days after Zhou Xun left Thunder Stone Peak.

Two powerful presences descended upon this place.

One was an old man wearing a dark Dao Robe, stern and upright, with an extraordinary aura, and Spirit Charm faintly circulating around him.

The other was a beautiful woman dressed in a purple robe palace dress, her aura violent; strangely, she had two blue sharp horns on her head, seemingly not human.

Their faces were extremely displeased as they surveyed the completely ransacked stone hall, with the older man feeling more pained!

"Who on earth dared to pull the tiger’s whiskers of my Dao Yu Sect!"

In fact, Elder Zhao wasn’t wrong that day.

The Thunder Flood Dragon on Thunder Stone Peak indeed belonged to the Dao Yu Sect.

The unique environment of Thunder Stone Peak is highly suitable for the growth of Thunder Attribute Spirit Beasts.

Three hundred years ago, a Supreme Elder of the Dao Yu Sect fortunately obtained a pair of Thunder Flood Dragons, hence placing them here.

Simultaneously, sect cultivators were arranged to oversee them.

The Chaotic Domain only has Core Formation cultivators, and the Flood Dragons were the pinnacle of Tier Three Demon Beasts, coupled with the proximity to the Dao Yu Sect, making it incredibly secure.

Two hundred years passed, and one Flood Dragon successfully cultivated to Tier Three Peak, and then attempted transformation here.

Fortunate enough, this Flood Dragon succeeded in its transformation.

Due to a decree from the Three Great Influences, it had to leave the place, leaving the other Thunder Flood Dragon to cultivate here, hoping for its transformation day.

Simultaneously, that "Dragon Blood Holy Fruit" was also planted here by the Dao Yu Sect.

The Dragon Blood Holy Fruit previously grew from the corpse of a Tier Four Flood Dragon possessing the True Dragon Bloodline,

and was later cultivated by a Human Race Spirit Plant Grandmaster, which led to the method of nurturing it with Tier Four Flood Dragon Essence Blood.

Therefore, it was planted on this Thunder Stone Peak.

In the past, the transformed Thunder Flood Dragon would secretly visit Thunder Stone Peak every decade, one to reunite with its companion, and also to nourish the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit with its own Essence Blood.

Unexpectedly, now not only had the other Thunder Flood Dragon perished, but even the Dragon Blood Holy Fruit had vanished.

"Senior Brother, we must find the real culprit and avenge my husband!"

The beautiful woman’s face twisted angrily.

"Don’t worry, our Dao Yu Sect will not tolerate insolence!" The old man’s face was as deep as water as he explored the place, and then flew out.

He arrived at the site of the previous battle.

Sensing the residual aura, the old man performed complex gestures, chanting incantations into the early year!

Eventually, it transformed into a Spirit Light.

"Rise!"

With a point of his finger.

Suddenly, the Spirit Light exploded and turned into a light screen, displaying the previous scene of the Thunder Flood Dragon’s demise.

Exactly the "Demon Shadow Technique!"

"It’s this person!"

Observing ’Lii Feiyu’s’ face in the scene, the old man’s face clouded over, withdrawing the spell.

"Let’s go; our identities make this place unsuitable to linger. When we return, issue a reward notice for this person’s capture!"
