Chapter 546: Chapter 155: The Cooked Duck Flew Away?

"Greetings, Elder, and thank you for saving us from dire peril!"

At this moment, Fang Kui from the Demon Alliance led his subordinates to Zhou Xun’s side.

Bowing in salute!

The scene of Zhou Xun repelling the Tier Four Demon Crocodile was witnessed by all.

Afterward, the other Tier Three Great Demons also fled one after the other.

"I never imagined this person to be a True Monarch Nascent Soul, no wonder he could defeat me with a single strike!"

Fang Kui could not help but feel a cold sweat form in his heart,

Luckily, he was clever enough to help him deal with that Yuan-surnamed Core Formation, otherwise, he feared for his own life.

Zhou Xun had no intention of correcting their misunderstanding of him as a Nascent Soul Cultivator!

He was now able to directly repel a Tier Four Demon Emperor, so how could he not be considered a Nascent Soul Cultivator?

"There is no need for such courtesy, fellow Human Race Cultivators. Now that we are in an Exotic Realm, we must unite and work together!"

"The elder speaks correctly!"

Fang Kui agreed with hands clasped in respect!

At this time, Li Daniu and Wenn Yue also came to Zhou Xun’s side, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Meet..... meeting... Brother Zhou.... uh, Elder Zhou!"

Wenn Yue stammered out,

"What, don’t you recognize your Brother Zhou anymore?" Zhou Xun said with a smile!

"This..." Wenn Yue hesitated for a moment, then broke into a smile and said:

"Brother Zhou!"

As for Li Daniu, he was full of excitement, calling out "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou" repeatedly.

Zhou Xun was also extremely delighted; he was not one to put on airs just because his Cultivation had advanced.

On the contrary, he valued friends made during the difficult times even more.

For example, Song Zhishu, to whom Zhou Xun personally paid a farewell visit.

Suddenly, he noticed the absence of Yuan Jishan’s shadow beside them and asked curiously:

"I wonder where Daoist Yuan is, why haven’t I seen him?"

"Apologies, Wenn Yue and Li Daniu both showed a face of sorrow and sadness when Yuan Jishan was mentioned.

"People cannot be brought back to life, please accept my condolences," Zhou Xun comforted them with a sentence.

"By the way, after today’s events, where do you plan to go?" Zhou Xun inquired.

Previously, while staying with them, Zhou Xun learned that they were residing on a place called "Wuhuang Island,"

which had fallen into Demon Race territory after their invasion.

Originally, they advanced and retreated together with the Yuan Brothers, providing mutual support. Now that the Yuan Brothers had perished, they didn’t know where to go!

"No idea!"

Wenn Yue and Li Daniu shook their heads!

"In that case, why don’t you both return with me to Celestial Talisman Island and serve as Honored Guest Elders?"

Currently, Celestial Talisman Island only has one Core Formation Elder and is quite weak in strength.

Although I’m stationed there, I will eventually leave.

Both Li Daniu and Wenn Yue have shown extremely reliable character and have earned Zhou Xun’s recognition. Bringing them into the Celestial Talisman Sect would be a good choice.

"Wenn Yue will follow Brother’s decision!" Wenn Yue nodded slightly, agreeing without hesitation!

As for Wang Erniu, he was even happier and naturally had no objections.

"Alright, you two wait here for me, I’ll go down and retrieve those two Spirit Medicines!"

With that said, Zhou Xun’s figure flashed, and he reappeared in the ruins once more.

As he walked through the ruins, there were many corpses of Cultivators and Demon Beasts. Zhou Xun collected them all into his Storage Bag.

Then he headed towards the two Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects!

"I’ve endured countless hardships, searching for the traces of this ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’ for over twenty years,"

"Only now have I finally received some news about it and later battled with the Tier Four Demon Emperor to finally drive it away!"

"Though the process was convoluted and took a great deal of effort,"

"It was not in vain; with the ’Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng’ in hand, I’ve collected all four main ingredients for the Nascent Soul Pill,"

"Once I cultivate to Peak Core Formation, I can begin the process of breaking through to Nascent Soul!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

Soon, he arrived at the small Medicine Garden,

He raised his eyes to look,

and couldn’t help but be stunned,

Through the semi-transparent light shield, he saw that the small Medicine Garden was empty, something he had sought for decades and was on the verge of obtaining had been snatched away by someone!

This was the first time he had been outdone by someone else!

Even with Zhou Xun’s disposition, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of anger!

With a wave of his hand, the Profound Thunder Sword flew out, striking the light shield before him.

"Pfft!"

With a light sound, the light screen shattered in an instant, revealing the bare Spiritual Soil within!

And there were still traces from where the Spirit Medicine had been taken!

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s face was expressionless, softly murmuring:

"Do you really think you can take those two Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects from under my nose?"

Immediately, Zhou Xun began recalling the seventy to eighty Core Formation Cultivators from earlier, wondering who had the audacity!

It’s important to know that without him, nearly all of those Core Formation Cultivators would have been annihilated.

Yet someone had taken advantage of his battle against the Tier Four Demon Crocodile to steal his Spirit Medicine.

It was truly unforgivable!

Suddenly——

A person flashed through his mind,

The skinny old man with superior Concealing Technique!

"It’s you!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly,

looking at the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil in front of him,

he bent down, gently picked up a pinch of loose soil,

"It’s actually Tier Four Spiritual Soil, a rare treasure. Today, I’ll use it to trace that person!"

Saying so, he tapped his Storage Bag and took out a compass-like treasure!

"Small Divination Compass!"

Then Zhou Xun placed the Spiritual Soil from the roots of the Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng onto the Compass and activated the Divination Technique spell!

In a flash of light, a pale golden marker appeared on the compass, pointing to somewhere in the northwest!

"I’ve found you, so you’re hiding there, thinking to use the cover of darkness beneath a light!"

With the Divination Technique in hand, Zhou Xun had no chance of losing those two Spirit Medicines,

now that he had located the person, he was in no hurry to leave.

His gaze fell on the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil before him.

This was Tier Four Spiritual Soil, extremely rare, capable of growing Tier Four Spirit Medicines.

If his Wangchuan Lake had this, even without a Tier Four Spirit Vein, his few Spiritual Mist Tea plants could be cultivated to Tier Four,

Then Zhou Xun chose a Storage Bag and filled it with the Five-Colored Spiritual Soil before him.

He even took the Tier Three Spiritual Soil outside.

"If it weren’t for the fact that the Nine-Encompassing Purple Spirit Ginseng is crucial for my Nascent Soul Formation, just this Five-Colored Spiritual Soil would be enough,"

"But these are my main materials for the Nascent Soul Pill; I must collect them all,"

"Once I reach Peak Core Formation, I’ll act to break through to Nascent Soul!"

With that said, and with the guidance of the compass, Zhou Xun began to chase the person who stole the Spirit Medicine.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xun arrived in front of an ordinary shark about 70 to 80 feet long on the island and stopped, saying faintly:

"Fellow Daoist, I’ve been looking for a long time!"
