Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 345 - 93: Celebration!

"Xu Qingxiao"

Seeing this name, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but think of the middle-aged man he had seen at the establishment ceremony of the Zhou Jingsong family years ago.

Even back then, Zhou Xun felt that this person’s foundation was solid, introverted, with a glow emanating from his Dantian.

Zhou Xun determined that this person had a high chance of advancing to the Core Formation stage.

Unexpectedly, in just over two years, this person had a breakthrough!

Unfortunately, the Inner Core formed was only of Fake Pill quality!

Zhou Xun was not surprised by this.

One must understand, Xui Country spans millions of miles, and with centuries of accumulation, there have only been three True Pill Cultivators to date.

On average, it takes over a hundred years to produce a True Pill Cultivator.

Xu Qingxiao did not possess the natural talent of an Earth Spirit Root like Wu Zongdao, nor did he have excellent Core Formation Spiritual Objects, such as the Crystal Condensing Pill.

To successfully breakthrough and advance to the Core Formation Stage was already a great fortune.

And this person is only just over 150 years old, leaving nearly 400 years of life span ahead.

It is enough to maintain their family’s prosperity for hundreds of years.

The last time they met, it seemed this person was inclined to ally with their Wangchuan Lake.

"Very well, then I’ll send Jingsong to make the trip!" Zhou Xun considered for a while.

Zhou Jingsong was his first disciple, making him the most suitable representative.

Immediately after, Zhou Xun summoned Zhou Jingsong.

"Disciple greets Master!"

Soon, Zhou Jingsong arrived at Zhou Xun’s cave mansion.

"Not bad, your foundation is very solid, steady and firm is the righteous path!"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhou Xun slightly nodded. At this moment, Zhou Jingsong’s Mana was exceptionally solid, clearly due to a firm foundation.

With such a steady and firm approach, there might be an opportunity to cultivate to Foundation Establishment Peak and attempt Core Formation in the future.

"This is all thanks to the Red Spirit Dragon Fish Master gifted me!"

The remaining Red Spirit Dragon Fish Flesh from the feast was mostly distributed to several disciples by Zhou Xun, hoping they could travel further in their path.

"I called you here to assign you a task!"

"The Grand Elder of the Xu family in Celestial Crane Mountain, Xu Qingxiao, succeeded in Core Formation, condensing a Fake Pill. Today, an invitation was just delivered, inviting me to attend his Core Formation Ceremony!"

"Since you have a good relationship with him, and you are my first disciple, you will represent me and attend!"

"Here are two bottles of Tier Three Low-Grade Qi Recovery Pills. Take them as my gift!"

"Celestial Crane Mountain is far, so I bestow upon you these five Tier Two Low-Grade Puppet Beasts and a Quasi-Third Tier Escape Talisman for self-defense!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun brushed his waist, and a few Spirit Lights flew out, landing in front of Zhou Jingsong.

These puppets were refined by Zhou Xun during his study of the Path of Puppetry, now amassing nearly twenty of them.

At this level, the puppets were not of much use to him, and thus bestowed upon his disciples for their protection!

"Thank you, Master, for your gifts. I shall not bring disgrace to the prestige of Wangchuan Lake!" Zhou Jingsong replied with a bow, placing the treasures into his Storage Bag.

"Off you go!"

"Yes!"

...

Returning to the cave mansion, upon hearing the news of the trip to Celestial Crane Mountain, Zhou Ping couldn’t sit still and insisted on going along.

Since meeting once before, Zhou Ping and Xu Qingxiao’s youngest daughter Xu Shaoping frequently corresponded.

Their relationship has grown increasingly close.

The elders of both families were pleased with this.

"Oh, you!"

Zhou Jingsong naturally understood the thoughts of his youngest son.

"Father, I want to go too!" Zhou Qiuyue chimed in eagerly.

Having stayed at Wangchuan Lake since childhood, she grew weary and cherished any chance to travel outside!

"Alright, it’s a rare opportunity to go out. You can join me, and see the world!" Zhou Jingsong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Father!" Zhou Qiuyue replied joyfully.

Soon after, a Spirit Light shot up from outside Wangchuan Square, heading swiftly toward the northwest.

...

Celestial Crane Mountain,

The Xu family was filled with joy and celebration from top to bottom.

Because their Grand Elder had successfully broken through to Core Formation!

Originally, after the previous Grand Elder fell at Golden Ape Valley, the Xu family seemed doomed to decline.

The reason the Four Great Families had such a reputation was that their ancestors were Core Formation Cultivators.

Without a Core Formation Cultivator, they couldn’t match that title.

Unexpectedly, the Cloud Light Sect compensated the Xu family with a Core Formation Spiritual Object.

Xu Qingxiao’s fortune was extraordinary; he managed to break through with an ordinary Core Formation Spiritual Object!

Becoming a Core Formation Cultivator!

Ensuring the Xu family’s prosperity for another few hundred years!

Even better, of the Four Great Families, two had been destroyed for offending the White Cloud Immortal City.

Another had its ancestral ground destroyed and its descendants killed due to their ancestor falling and infiltration by Celestial Feather Sect’s cultivators, leaving them barely surviving.

Only the Xu family rose again.

Becoming the only family in Xui Country with a Core Formation Cultivator.

Today, they are considered the premier family in Xui Country!

Today marks the Core Formation celebration of their family’s grandfather, Xu Qingxiao.

Everywhere in the Xu family territory, lanterns were hung high and banquets were held, with Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruits in abundance.

From afar, Spirit Lights continuously flew in, landing in the square in front of the Xu family’s great hall.

These were representatives of various major forces who had come to celebrate.

Among them were Elders of Cultivation Families, Shopkeepers of major trading companies, all of whom were rarely seen on ordinary days.

At this time, a non-descript yellow Spirit Light was speeding towards Celestial Crane Mountain, a hundred miles away.

"Father, this is Celestial Crane Mountain, indeed worthy of its name!"

Looking at the distant mountain range, the thousand-zhang main peak stood towering, resembling an immortal crane soaring to the sky!

"Correct, Celestial Crane Mountain is named after its crane-like main peak and is one of the few Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Veins in Xui Country!" Zhou Jingsong nodded.

"A Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Vein, isn’t it better than our Wangchuan Lake? Why, our Master is a True Pill Cultivator!" Zhou Qiuyue said somewhat disgruntled.

"With Master’s cultivation and status, he could have any Spirit Vein he wanted, but Master is kind-hearted and refuses to seize others’ foundations!"

Zhou Jingsong spoke eloquently, his eyes naturally filled with admiration at the mention of his Master.

"That’s right!"

Speaking of their Master, both Zhou Ping and Zhou Qiuyue were greatly proud!

"Is the Alchemist Zhou at the front?"

At this moment, a voice transmitted from behind.

Zhou Jingsong immediately turned back to look.

He saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe, exuding an authoritative aura, catching up while riding a Spirit Light.

"May I know who this friend is?" Zhou Jingsong courteously bowed and asked.

The person before him was at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, naturally making him somewhat vigilant.

"I am Fanx Zhiwu from Kongwu Mountain, greetings to Alchemist Zhou and these two young friends!" The middle-aged man was extremely polite, giving a grand salute to Zhou Jingsong.

"So it’s the Iron Fist Cultivator, famous Brother Fanx, who has killed many Tier Two High-Grade Demon Beasts, even Master Wangchuan praises you!" Zhou Jingsong laughed.

The Fanx family of Kongwu Mountain was one of the major clans in Xui Country.

The clan excelled in Body Refining Technique, and their strength was formidable.

This Fanx Zhiwu was the most powerful of the contemporary Fanx family, with not only his Mana Cultivation at Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, but his Body Refinement also reached the Sixth Layer!

With formidable strength, he was known for multiple successful hunts of Tier Two High-Grade Demon Beasts, recognized as the foremost below Core Formation in Xui Country!

"Oh, even Master Zhou knows of my Fanx Zhiwu, truly an honor of three lifetimes!"

Fanx Zhiwu was overjoyed upon hearing this, his expression lively and quite smug.

"Alchemist Zhou, are you heading to attend Master Xu’s Core Formation ceremony? How about we travel together?" Fanx Zhiwu enthusiastically invited.

This was a perfect opportunity to strengthen relations with the chief disciple of Master Wangchuan, one he certainly wouldn’t miss.

"In that case, I accept your offer with gratitude!" Zhou Jingsong nodded.

Following this, the group flew together toward Celestial Crane Mountain.
