Chapter 815: Chapter 108: Treasure Pill Acquired, Spirit Butterfly Advances!

"The effects of the Crossing Pill need not be explained, it can be exchanged for treasures worth more than five Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

"The highest bidder wins, everyone may now bid!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the audience became lively, numerous cultivators eager to make offers but still hesitant.

After all, they noticed earlier that Prince Yu was also interested in the Crossing Pill, and they truly lacked the confidence to compete with him.

However, given the opportunity to break through to the Middle-Stage Nascent Soul, they were reluctant to let it go.

Then a cultivator in a black robe stood up, his expression somewhat tense, and said, "I have a High-Grade Attack Treasure —— Profound Gold Needle, a treasure I acquired by chance, its power is remarkable, and it’s a Gold Attribute Treasure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards Prince Yu.

Prince Yu slightly frowned, seeming dissatisfied with the current offerings. He slowly stood up, arrogantly declaring, "I offer a High-Grade Attack Treasure along with four Top-Grade Spirit Stones in exchange for this Crossing Pill!"

Upon hearing Prince Yu’s offer, everyone couldn’t help but gasp. The offer was immensely high, far surpassing their expectations.

At the moment when everyone thought the Crossing Pill would surely end up with Prince Yu,

an old lady who had been silently sitting in the corner suddenly spoke up, "I offer a complete High-Grade Magical Treasure, painstakingly refined by myself, integrating both offense and defense. In addition, I add a Tier Four Middle-Grade Alchemy Inheritance!"

The words caused the entire audience to stir. A complete Tier Four Top-Grade Treasure and Tier Four Middle-Grade Alchemy Inheritance, such value exceeded Prince Yu’s bid.

Prince Yu’s expression turned exceedingly unpleasant. He hadn’t anticipated a higher offer. He glared at the old lady, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Who are you? Daring to compete with me!"

The old lady remained fearless, indifferently replying, "I am merely a Loose Cultivator, here only for the Crossing Pill. I hope Your Highness does not trouble me."

As tensions persisted between them, Ji Yu intervened to smooth things over, "Please don’t act rashly, there is still a second Crossing Pill."

Prince Yu snorted coldly and sat down, while the old lady also refrained from further words, simply watching Ji Yu silently,

As everyone anticipated the pill would fall into the hands of the old lady,

Zhou Xun stood up and spoke,

"One Tier Four Attack Treasure ’Golden Dragonfly Slash’, plus ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones, in exchange for this Crossing Pill!"

This treasure was acquired by him years ago after slaying the Iron-Backed Demon Dragonfly.

His proposal surprised everyone, as such a price already exceeded that of the Crossing Pill.

Shopkeeper Ji was even more delighted, this exchange session brought him substantial gains indeed,

He cast hopeful glances at the crowd, wishing for more bids,

But a High-Grade Treasure plus ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones was already unbeatable,

Thus, the Crossing Pill was eventually acquired by Zhou Xun.

"Daoist Zhou, the elixir is yours!"

Zhou Xun looked at the elixir bottle before him, a smile of joy appearing on his face,

Though the cost was slightly high, obtaining the pill was still worthwhile.

After securing the elixir, Zhou Xun returned to his seat. Many cultivators around him gazed with envy and some jealousy, but Zhou Xun paid no mind, filled with anticipation for advancing to the Middle-Stage Nascent Soul.

The exchange session continued, various rare treasures appeared one after another, but Zhou Xun refrained from further bidding until the session concluded.

Zhou Xun returned to his Cave Mansion,

Then utilized the Teleportation Array to return to Wangchuan Lake, commencing his serene daily cultivation.

Winter passed, spring arrived, and five years swiftly elapsed.

Cultivation Room,

The main body and avatar sat facing each other.

The avatar formed hand seals, pointing at himself,

Suddenly, a seven-colored spirit light illuminated the stone room, followed by a two-foot tall, jade-like, multicolored Reishi emerged,

An aromatic fragrance wafted, the surface imbued with Spirit Charm, captivating at first glance, dreamlike and illusory!

It was the very Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Medicine "Seven Illusionary Colored Reishi" Zhou Xun had nurtured earlier.

Gazing at the Spirit Medicine before him, Zhou Xun no longer hesitated,

He formed hand seals, deploying the Spring Condensation Scripture’s spell,

"The way of heaven, depleting the excess to supplement the deficient..."

He executed the spell-tip gently upon the Seven Illusionary Colored Reishi, immediately attracting the surrounding Primordial Qi, coalescing forth.

Soon, a green light emanated from atop the Seven Illusionary Colored Reishi, emitting a soothing glow.

Subsequently, Zhou Xun meticulously guided the light cluster toward his body,

As the light cluster contacted his body, its essence seeped in,

Zhou Xun felt enveloped by familiar warmth, rejuvenated as if transcending.

After how long, it was impossible to say, the anomaly gradually ceased.

Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, smiling lightly,

"Finally, enhancement achieved; once Spirit Root reaches a hundred points, what other wonders await!"

"Next, let’s examine how much Spirit Root Talent has improved!"

Murmuring softly, Zhou Xun patted the storage bag at his waist, a spiritual light flew out and landed before him, transforming into a foot-size disc.

It was the Spirit Testing Disc!

Zhou Xun placed his hands upon the Spirit Testing Disc, activating it with a spell.

A flash of light occurred, Zhou Xun glanced at the Spirit Testing Disc and smiled,

"Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity at ninety-four points."

"Indeed as expected, another point elevated!"

With Spirit Root enhanced, Zhou Xun sat down cross-legged, commenced meditative cultivation.

An hour later, Zhou Xun reopened his eyes,

"Not bad, cultivation speed has improved again, perhaps within several decades, I can impact the Middle-Stage Nascent Soul!"

...

In the succeeding time, both Zhou Xun’s main body and avatar engaged in cultivation at Wangchuan Lake,

During leisure, he conversed scholarly with True Monarch Tianci, or returned to South Sea Wangchuan Island,

Thus, two years elapsed again,

On that day, within the Cultivation Room.

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed in cultivation,

Suddenly,

Suddenly, from the northwest side of the cave mansion, a burst of spiritual energy fluctuated, jolting Zhou Xun awake, his divine sense expanded,

"This is... the Phoenix Butterfly’s third metamorphosis!"

Within Zhou Xun, excitement stirred; unexpectedly, within a mere ten years or so, its third transformation had arrived,

Previously having metamorphosed twice,

The Phoenix Butterfly played a pivotal role during his battle with the Thunder Feather Demon Emperor,

Now, transforming once more,

Zhou Xun harbored great anticipation for its capability.

He promptly rose and exited the Cultivation Room,

"Husband, you’re out!"

Upon Zhou Xun’s emergence, he saw Lin Xueying already stationed outside the Insect Room, an eager expression displayed.

She had heard of the Phoenix Butterfly’s prowess before, thus immense curiosity ensued.

Within the Insect Room,

A roughly foot-sized white cocoon bathed within the Spiritual Energy Cluster,

Zhou Xun could faintly perceive a mystical force converging, his divine sense swept through, immersing one within a dreamlike realm,

By will alone,

He extricated from such an illusion,

Conversely, beside him, Lin Xueying was fixated on the Spiritual Energy Cluster, tears streaming from her dilated eyes.

Evidently under the illusion’s influence.

"Awaken!"

Zhou Xun used Divine Sense to shock her awake.

"Husband, I was... enchanted by the Phoenix Butterfly!" Lin Xueying remarked, astonished.

Bear in mind, she was a Core Formation Cultivator,

"Indeed, Spirit Butterfly’s illusion prowess is formidable, even Tier Four High-Grade Demon Emperor could unwittingly be ensnared!" Zhou Xun smiled lightly, offering an explanation.

As time passed, the light grew intense, streaming out from the Insect Room like a dreamy spectacle.

Within that luminance appeared boundless illusions, discouraging direct observation,

Another lengthy duration elapsed,

The Insect Room’s spiritual energy erupted, flooding into the cocoon, forming numerous Spiritual Energy Vortexes.

At present, the Phoenix Butterfly’s progression reached its vital stage, should it endure this spiritual essence infusion phase, advancement would be achieved!

Approximately half a quarter-hour later, the Spiritual Power Group expanded, seemingly transforming to a mist-like sensation.

The phenomenon illustrated the apex of spiritual energy cluster convergence!

Currently, within the Spiritual Energy Cluster, the Phoenix Butterfly cocoon suddenly emitted a faint golden light upon its surface appeared tiny vortices, absorbing the vast spiritual energy.

Simultaneously, its aura constantly surged.

After an unspecified duration, suddenly, Phoenix Butterfly’s aura altered, dispersing spiritual power vibrations everywhere.

Witnessing such, Zhou Xun’s heart leaped in joy.

"It’s a success!"
