Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal

Before condensing the Thunder Seed, Zhou Xun went out again.

He headed to the Wuli Commerce Association.

This time he went as "Fang Yuan," the Alchemy Master.

With the Thousand Illusion Mask, Xiao Yin naturally didn’t recognize him.

Upon learning Zhou Xun’s identity, Xiao Yin was extremely welcoming.

Eventually, with his help,

here, Zhou Xun bought a pill recipe named Thunder Element Pill, which could refine Thunder Attribute Demon Pills into Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixirs.

Of course, to mislead, he concurrently purchased several other pill recipes, spending over two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

When leaving, Xiao Yin personally escorted Zhou Xun to the door.

That’s the prestige of an Alchemy Master.

Subsequently, news spread about the Alchemy Master "Fang Yuan" settling in Primordial Immortal City, and various forces came to visit.

Many cultivators also came to request pills,

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xun managed to gather all the refining materials for the Thunder Element Pill.

...

In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

His mouth slightly opened, a square jade platform that glimmered like purple jade flew out, suspended before Zhou Xun, surrounded by flickering thunder arcs.

This was Zhou Xun’s lifebound magical treasure, the Thunder Pool.

After years of nurturing, its power has greatly enhanced, placing it among the finest of the low-grade magical treasures.

Today, Zhou Xun took out this treasure explicitly for condensing the Thunder Seed.

Previously, to confront True Monarch of Profound Control, Zhou Xun directly detonated five Thunder Seeds.

With a tap on the storage bag, a flash of spirit light revealed a delicate jade box before Zhou Xun.

A gentle wave of his finger removed the sealing spirit talisman on the jade box, then he opened its lid, revealing the "Thunder-Encompassing Crystal" inside.

This is the transformation of Tribulation Thunder!

Next, Zhou Xun would integrate the Celestial Thunder Power within this Thunder-Encompassing Crystal into the Thunder Pool.

Thereby, not only would the Thunder Seeds quickly restore to thirty-six in number.

Even his Thunder Seeds could carry a thread of the destruction power of Tribulation Thunder, enhancing its potency tremendously!

Zhou Xun clasped his hands to form a spell, a beam of spirit light struck onto the Thunder Pool.

The Thunder Pool’s light surged,

seeing this, Zhou Xun waved his finger, causing the Thunder-Encompassing Crystal to float upwards, then be absorbed into the Thunder Pool.

"Accelerate!"

Zhou Xun formed a seal with his hands, then a beam of spirit light struck onto the Thunder-Encompassing Crystal inside, extracting a flickering thunder arc.

Then it merged into the Thunder Pool, refined by the Thunder Pool.

Thereafter, Zhou Xun continuously extracted the thunder arcs from the Thunder-Encompassing Crystal, repeatedly merging them in.

Just like this, Zhou Xun repeatedly performed the same action.

...

In the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Realm,

Zhou Xun’s main body held a jade scroll, which detailed the refining method for the Thunder Element Pill.

At this moment, the clone was refining the Thunder-Encompassing Crystal, hence the task of studying the Thunder Element Pill fell upon the main body.

The Thunder Element Pill is quite special; its refined elixir level often depends on the level of the Thunder Attribute Inner Core.

If it’s a Tier Two Inner Core, what is refined is a Tier Two Thunder Element Pill, suitable for consumption by Foundation Establishment Cultivators; if it’s a Tier Three Inner Core,

then what is refined is a Tier Three Thunder Element Pill, suitable for consumption by Core Formation Cultivators.

Half a month later, Zhou Xun had fully understood the refining process of the Thunder Element Pill.

Earlier, Zhou Xun had Weih Qiuxin acquire two Tier Two Thunder Attribute Inner Cores and the auxiliary materials for refining the Thunder Element Pill for him.

In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun sat cross-legged.

Before him lay a pill furnace along with the refining materials for the Thunder Element Pill.

Zhou Xun waved his hand, the furnace lid opened automatically, allowing the materials of the Thunder Element Pill to pour in.

Immediately, Zhou Xun changed his spell, a Pill Fire sprayed onto the alchemy furnace, slowly refining.

Unsure of how much time passed, a waft of herbal fragrance emerged, signaling the success of the Thunder Element Pill’s refining.

With a wave of his finger, the furnace lid opened, six blue shimmering elixirs flew out, landing before Zhou Xun, with a flash of thunder arc on them, appearing extraordinary.

"Six successful pills, all of them perfect!"

Zhou Xun was extremely pleased and then also successfully refined the second batch.

Up to this moment, he had familiarized himself with the refining method of the Thunder Element Pill.

...

In the Central Continent Cultivation Realm, in Primordial City.

After half a year of refining, Zhou Xun finally completed the refinement of this Thunder-Encompassing Crystal.

At this time, his Thunder Pool was brimming with Celestial Thunder Power, with the blue-purple thunder juice churning, thunder arcs jumping on it.

A slight sense reveals an aura of destruction emanating.

This is precisely the power of Tribulation Thunder carried within the Thunder-Encompassing Crystal.

"Its potency seems to have improved!"

Zhou Xun remarked and walked out of the cultivation room.

At this moment, the Earth Element Beast was snoring away in the beast cage, Zhou Xun walked over and gave its side a gentle kick:

"Time to wake up!"

"Greetings, master!"

Awakened from its peaceful slumber, the originally furious Earth Element Beast changed to a flattering smile upon seeing Zhou Xun.

"Let’s test the power of my new divine technique!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Certainly!" Upon hearing this, the Earth Element Beast nodded, then stood in the courtyard, a faint yellow light emanating from its body.

Immediately, Zhou Xun clasped his single hand into a seal, activated the Celestial Thunder Power within his Thunder Pool, bringing forth a thread of thunder arc at his fingertips.

"This is the power of the Transformation Thunder Tribulation!"

Feeling a faint suppression from the thunder arc, the Earth Element Beast was greatly shocked.

"Though incomparable to the full power of Tribulation Thunder, it holds at least thirty percent potency!"

Zhou Xun nodded, then pointed at the Earth Element Beast,

"Go!"

The thunder arc transformed into a fleeting shadow, instantly striking onto the yellow light on the Earth Element Beast’s body.

"Sizzling!"

Despite its small size, the thunder arc was extremely resilient, continuously drilling inward, yet ultimately was worn away by the yellow light.

"How is it?" Zhou Xun inquired.

"Though small, this thunder arc is extremely resilient, incredibly difficult to wear down; the contained destruction power greatly consumed my Spirit Light!"

"If there were more of these thunder arcs, it wouldn’t be easy for me to withstand them!"

The Earth Element Beast honestly replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun pondered,

"It seems after absorbing the power of Tribulation Thunder, my Divine Thunder gained a few layers of destruction, its destructive force is several times that of before!"

"If the Thunder Seeds were complete, combined with the Purple Sky True Thunder Array, even facing Peak Core Formation Cultivators alone, perhaps wouldn’t be much different!"

He sent the Earth Element Beast back to the beast cage and then returned to the cultivation room.

Next, it was time to condense those five Thunder Seeds!

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged, summoned the Thunder Pool, and extracted a thread of thunder arc.

Then, changing the spell, he divided a portion of Divine Sense to wrap around this flickering thunder arc.

Next, Zhou Xun followed the method recorded in the "Purple Sky Thunder Technique," urging his Divine Sense to begin refining this thread of thunder arc.

The moment the Divine Sense touched the thunder arc, a burst of explosion seemed to echo beside the ears, continually attempting to erode Zhou Xun’s Divine Sense with a sense of impending destruction.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun’s willpower was extraordinary, combined with his prior experience in repeatedly condensing Thunder Seeds, he quickly adapted.

Zhou Xun endured the pain, his spell changing in hand, continued striking at the Divine Sense wrapped around the thunder arc.

The thunder arc quieted significantly.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s Divine Sense took the opportunity to completely envelop it, starting a slow refinement.

It’s unsure how much time passed.

This thread of thunder arc became gentle, simultaneously glowing with spirituality, with an exceptionally subtle bond emanating from within.

This first step was finally completed.
