Chapter 938: Chapter 168: Time Passes, Blood Demon Child Advances!

The energy infused in the meridians as Wang Erniu activates the Celestial Essence Sword Technique, guiding this Spiritual Power to circulate within the meridians and begin the slow refinement.

...

Meanwhile, in the cave mansion of Jiangling Prefecture,

Zhou Xun sits cross-legged in the cultivation room, takes Frost Dew and then starts his cultivation slowly.

Three days later, when he opens his eyes again, it signifies that he successfully converted this drop of Frost Dew into cultivation.

He introspects himself and smiles, finding that his cultivation indeed advanced a bit, bringing him closer to the Middle-Stage Peak.

After finishing cultivation, Zhou Xun summons the Thunder Pool and commences Thunder Forging Body.

Thereafter, Zhou Xun’s daily routine becomes cultivation, body refinement, talisman painting, or puppet technique,

As for alchemy,

At his level, accumulating a furnace of Tier Four Middle-Grade Elixir usually requires several years or even decades.

Therefore, opening the furnace is not that easy.

In addition, every six months, he visits Jinyuan Pavilion to inquire about the Demon King’s Heart Essence Blood,

With good luck, he could purchase a dozen kinds, while with bad luck, only one or two kinds, or even none.

Just like that, the days pass by,

Unknowingly, another five years elapsed.

In the cultivation room, Zhou Xun sits on the ground, his eyes bright and full of spirit.

He pinches the spell with both hands, muttering incantations, then points towards himself!

A flash of spirit light, followed by a Reishi about a foot long, with stem as white as jade, hovering in front of Zhou Xun,

It is exactly the Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicine, Profound Jade Reishi, which he nurtured before. But now, it is the Tier Four High-Grade Peak!

As soon as Profound Jade Reishi appeared, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the cultivation room,

Slightly inhaling, Zhou Xun feels refreshed, with even a slight improvement in mana and divine sense.

Indeed, Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Medicine has potent effects!

"If not for its ability to enhance Spirit Root Talent, I would truly be reluctant to refine it!"

Tier Four High-Grade Spirit Medicine is something that even late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators covet,

With five years having passed, and according to his previous experience, only one more enhancement is needed for Profound Jade Reishi to advance to Tier Four Top-Grade.

Zhou Xun pats his storage bag at the waist, and a spirit light flies out and falls before him.

It transforms into a wooden box about a foot long, with three Tier Three Spirit-Sealing Talismans adhered to the surface.

With a gentle wave, the Sealing Spirit Talismans automatically float away, then the box lid opens, revealing a Tier Three Top-Grade Purple Jade Flower.

As soon as the box opens, Spiritual Qi within a range of dozens of feet begins converging toward this Purple Jade Flower, making him invigorated!

"Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Medicine, valued at hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones!"

"If it can’t assist the Profound Jade Reishi’s advancement, then I’d suffer a great loss!" Zhou Xun shakes his head,

Then without hesitation, he performs the incantation of the "Spring Condensation Scripture," pointing at the Purple Jade Flower!

"Boom!——"

Suddenly, a green light dot floats out from the Purple Jade Flower.

Under the transformed body’s control, the light dot approaches the Lifebound Spirit Plant Profound Jade Reishi.

The moment the light dot touches the Profound Jade Reishi, it merges into it,

Then the entirety of Profound Jade Reishi emits a verdant glow, akin to a piece of Ice Jade!

Then the Profound Jade Reishi begins to absorb this verdant essence, simultaneously becoming invigorated, visible changes starting to occur.

Don’t know how long passed,

Suddenly,

An astonishing special fragrance wafts out, only to see Profound Jade Reishi having grown a bit larger, with Spirit Charm flowing on the surface, extraordinarily exceptional!

"This is... Tier Four High-Grade now!"

Zhou Xun rejoices, although this scene has occurred countless times, experiencing it again still brings some excitement.

He then, without hesitation, retrieves Profound Jade Reishi into his body, then heads towards another room, where the teleportation array leading to Lake Heart Island Cave Mansion is stored.

Zhou Xun steps onto it without hesitation, and with a flash of white light, he disappears from the room,

Three days later,

The teleportation array lights up again,

Zhou Xun’s silhouette reappears.

This time, with the aid of this Profound Jade Reishi, his main body’s Spirit Root improved once more, now reaching Wood Spirit Root Sensitivity of ninety-six points,

Only four points away from one hundred!

At that time, he would know what transformation occurs after one hundred points, Zhou Xun is extremely anticipating it.

...

Time flies, another two years pass,

One day, in the cultivation room,

Zhou Xun sits cross-legged, around his body scattered with seven or eight Tier Three High-Grade Puppet Beasts.

Some resemble monkeys, others resemble lizards, and yet others resemble tigers, each with distinct appearances.

In these years, apart from body refinement and talisman making, Zhou Xun primarily focused on the Tier Four Puppet Technique, finally attempting refinement three years ago.

Unfortunately, after consuming countless precious materials, ultimately lacking a bit, every refinement results in merely Tier Three High-Grade.

Today, he plans to try again.

Zhou Xun takes out a Tier Four Demon Beast Spirit Bone, then casts a spell, an amber flame instantly melting the material.

Then, under Zhou Xun’s divine sense control, it starts being altered and reshaped, eventually forming a peculiar component.

This process, Zhou Xun repeated over a hundred times.

Finally, the prototype of a leopard-shaped puppet is crafted.

The next stage is crucial——Soul Fusion!

Zhou Xun retrieves a jade bottle, utilizing the Soul Tying Technique.

A grey silhouette of a leopard is drawn out, this is a Tier Four Low-Grade Demon Soul he purchased, having erased its memory,

Leaving only instinct for battle, once it successfully merges into the puppet prototype, it will be a successful refinement.

Upon emergence, the Demon Soul seeks to escape, yet under Zhou Xun’s control, it can only slowly approach the puppet,

Then struggle to merge into the puppet.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun changes the spell, casting numerous spirit lights onto the puppet.

Don’t know how long passed, a harmonious and smooth aura is emitted!

Zhou Xun breathes a sigh of relief!

Tier Four Low-Grade Puppet refinement is successful, meaning that from today onwards, he’s officially a Tier Four Low-Grade Puppet Master.

"Though the cost for crafting such a puppet is quite high, with mere material costs for each one surpassing ten million Spirit Stones!"

"Yet with sufficient materials, continuous refinement becomes extremely valuable!"

His primary reason for crafting these puppets is for the Eastern Wilderness, and for those disciples of his.

Given the current trajectory of events,

The Ghost Race is bound to invade comprehensively, at that point, no one in the Human Realm will be secluded, thus accumulating strength beforehand is essential,

Yet attaining the Nascent Soul stage is not easily achieved,

Rather, he should refine a batch of Tier Four Puppets ahead of time, alongside Tier Four warships, perhaps enhancing their survival capabilities.

After refining one,

Zhou Xun consumes a Qi Recovery Pill, rests for half a day, and then begins crafting the second one.

Utilizing the momentum, transforming the remaining materials into Puppet Beasts as soon as possible is crucial.

Just like that, three months pass,

The second Tier Four Puppet is successfully crafted,

Just when he’s about to proceed with the third one,

Suddenly——

An anomaly emerges within the Blood Demon Bag,

Zhou Xun’s heart stirs! He smacks the Blood Bag, and five Blood Demon Child transform into crimson lights, flying out and floating before Zhou Xun.

Now the Blood Demon Child exudes an intense aura, only to see it donning Blood-Colored Battle Armor, surrounded by blood lights, covered in numerous black runes, towering over ten feet tall,

Perhaps referring to them as Blood Demon Generals now would be more appropriate!

Zhou Xun flicks his finger, a burst of purple Qi Force strikes Jia Yi’s arm,

"Ding!"

Immediately followed by a crisp sound.

"Indeed, Tier Four Low-Grade!" Zhou Xun is very satisfied.

Then, he also tests the remaining four Blood Demon Child, indeed all reached Tier Four Low-Grade.

This signifies at this moment, relying solely on their capabilities, they can independently confront Early-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators without falling behind.

Looking at the five towering figures before him, Zhou Xun smiles subtly.

Leading them, he directly departs Jiangling Prefecture City, arriving at a remote desolate mountain tens of thousands of miles away,

He intends to evaluate their true strength, to see what level they reach after performing the Blood Demon Joint Attack Secret Technique!
