Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 290 - 38: Farewell, Jingsong!

Zhou Xun was naturally unaware of this scene.

He would not focus his energy on this Wangchuan Square, as it was managed by Weih Qiuxin.

Lake Bottom Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, operating a cultivation technique, strands of spiritual qi passed through his body and entered his meridians.

According to the running path of the Spirit Wood True Technique, he completed a grand circulation, then entered the dantian and merged with the hundred and thirty-first drop of liquid magical power with a faint shadow. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After a long while, Zhou Xun concluded his cultivation and began to inventory the cultivation inheritance in his hands.

Among his possessions, the highest level is the Tier Three High-Grade Puppetry Technique inheritance obtained when he killed that Puppet Master during his trip to Golden Cloud Valley.

Based on that person’s origin from Fengg Country, Zhou Xun quickly inferred.

The Puppet Master he defeated must have received the inheritance from the Puppet Master who once dominated Fengg Country.

Tier Three High-Grade, recording the puppetry refining technique at the late-stage Core Formation level.

Such a treasure, regardless of which sect in the Eastern Wilderness, would be enough to become a sect-protecting treasure.

"Aside from the high cost and consumption of spirit stones, puppets excel in all other aspects. If I find leisure, perhaps I could also attempt to study this puppetry technique!"

Zhou Xun thought to himself.

After all, this was the only Tier Three High-Grade inheritance in his hand.

Aside from the "Puppetry Technique,"

there’s the Tier Three Middle-Grade Array Master inheritance obtained from Master Nanyue.

Because Master Nanyue personally taught it, Zhou Xun felt that this path might surpass his alchemy skill in the near future.

After all, having someone to teach and exploring by oneself are entirely different levels of difficulty.

However, for now, his array mastery has already reached Tier Two High-Grade, and he only occasionally studies it during his leisure.

In addition, there is the Tier Three Middle-Grade Alchemy Inheritance granted by Master White Cloud. Unfortunately, Master White Cloud fell too early for Zhou Xun to learn skills from him.

As an alchemist, someone who can openly access high-tier spiritual medicines, Zhou Xun naturally would not give up on this profession.

With the Spring Condensation Scripture in hand, his alchemy technique complements it perfectly.

Regarding talisman inheritance, he possesses as many as five or six types, but the highest is only Quasi-Third Tier.

He possesses the Nurtured Talisman Technique, allowing talismans to shine excellently in his hands.

Those nurtured talismans are an essential part of Zhou Xun’s combat power, so he naturally would not easily abandon his talisman skills.

However, he is now a Tier Two High-Grade Talisman Master, and perhaps in another twenty to thirty years, Zhou Xun would need to seek higher-level talisman inheritances.

Another very important skill is the Divination Technique.

This path has helped Zhou Xun evade strong enemy pursuits multiple times, being the top, rare inheritance in the cultivation realm, Zhou Xun likewise would not abandon it.

However, this path greatly values the cultivator’s comprehension, so Zhou Xun doesn’t spend much time on it.

As for the path of artifact refining, he obtained a Quasi-Third Tier inheritance from the Artifact Refining Luo Family through Master Long He.

In his leisure, he can study it a bit, preparing for the puppetry technique.

As for others, the Quasi-Third Tier Spirit Plant Cultivator inheritance, Tier Two High-Grade Physician inheritance, Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Chef inheritance...

Zhou Xun does not plan to cultivate them.

What he obtained back in the day, the Insect Cultivation Technique, and the Beast Taming Technique, he passed them on to Song Yiqing.

Under her care, his Thousand-Answering Insect and spirit beasts have grown extremely quickly.

"Counting this, my foundation has reached such a level that perhaps even the White Cloud Immortal City back then couldn’t compare!"

"In the upcoming days, apart from cultivation, focus should be on alchemy, with talismans and arrays as supplementary. In leisure, perhaps study divination and puppetry technique..."

In fact, the Blood Demon Child Secret Technique and the Wood Puppet Secret Technique from his Spirit Wood True Technique are somewhat similar.

If they could be combined, along with the puppet array from the puppetry technique inheritance, it might result in unique effects.

...

In the lake bottom cultivation room, after Zhou Xun completed his daily cultivation routine,

he took out a three-foot-long piece of Tier One Ironwood.

Then, according to the records in the puppetry technique, he cast a spell and began slow refinement.

Speaking of which, the puppetry technique seems more like an integration of the artifact refining technique and array technique into a skill of great success.

Entering this path not only requires the cultivation realm’s Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivation, but also a considerable talent in artifact refining.

Only under such circumstances does one qualify to become a Puppet Master.

Of course, if you’re in a place where the path of puppetry is extremely prosperous, understanding artifact refining is not necessary.

Purchasing or commissioning puppets from others is also an option.

However, puppets not crafted by oneself may or may not have hidden dangers!

Zhou Xun dared to freely use the Quasi-Third Tier monkey puppet only because he distanced himself from Fengg Country.

Under Zhou Xun’s Fake Pill Level magical power, the ironwood was soon refined.

Zhou Xun picked it up and then carefully started carving, while inscribing runes on it.

Half a day later, a puppet beast styled as a golden spirit rat, one foot in size, appeared on the ground.

Zhou Xun took out a black wooden bottle, one foot tall.

This is a soul bottle crafted from Tier Two High-Grade Nourishing Spirit Wood.

Specifically used to store low-tier demon souls extracted by Zhou Xun.

He opened the soul bottle, took out a golden spirit rat-like shadow, cast a spell, and infused it into the puppet.

The puppet trembled violently and then fell silent.

Suddenly, the entire puppet seemed to gain vitality, vividly, as though it came to life.

A Tier One Low-Grade puppet was successfully refined.

This also marked Zhou Xun’s official status as a Tier One Low-Grade Puppet Master.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun was extremely satisfied.

Suddenly, he remembered something and calculated.

"It’s time to visit the Corpse Nurturing Land again!"

A month had passed since feeding essence blood to the blood demon child.

If too long a gap occurs, these blood demon children may turn into wild zombies, possibly developing consciousness and causing harm.

With this thought, Zhou Xun carefully stored away the golden spirit rat puppet.

Then he exited the cultivation room’s door and swam toward the lake surface.

...

After half an hour, Zhou Xun arrived once more at the Corpse Nurturing Land, Zhou Xun pinched a spell with one hand, a spirit light struck the empty space.

A concealment array appeared.

Zhou Xun then walked in, immediately enveloped by a surge of Yin Qi.

With a thought, a cyan light shield automatically rose from Zhou Xun, blocking the Yin Qi outside.

Zhou Xun looked at the five heads on the ground, the five blood demon children displaying few black patterns on their bodies.

Zhou Xun nodded in satisfaction:

"Not bad, nurtured very smoothly. I suppose in another two years, I’ll have an additional True Pill level means!"

Speaking, Zhou Xun sent out five drops of essence blood, according to the secret technique’s spell, transforming into five blood talismans, striking the five blood demon children.

Instantly, the blood talismans merged into their bodies.

An aura of light blood red color manifested.

Simultaneously, Zhou Xun also felt a deepening connection with these five blood demon children.

After completing this action, Zhou Xun didn’t stay any longer,

he promptly concealed the array and left the place.

...

Spring passes and autumn arrives,

three years quickly flew by.

Within the cultivation room, Zhou Xun opened his eyes: "Another drop of liquid magical power condensed..."

This year, he was sixty-eight, and the liquid magical power in his dantian had shockingly reached a hundred and thirty-nine drops.

Within ten years, he can enter the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

Having completed today’s work, Zhou Xun took out some talisman materials to prepare for drawing.

Suddenly, the restriction moved, and a flame promptly flew in, transforming into a talisman that landed in Zhou Xun’s hand.

"Husband, Jingsong has reached Peak Qi Refining, and specifically comes to pay respects!"
