Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 361 - 109: Sect Treasure Vault, Brother Zhou May Access Freely!
Seeing this, Zhou Xun stood up, cupped his hands, and returned the salute:
"No need for such formalities, everyone!"
Then he turned his gaze to Lin Xueying, and upon meeting each other’s eyes, they exchanged a smile. He then expressed his concern:
"Xueying, it’s been a long time since we last met. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight!"
"Since my mentor passed away, the sect has been quite turbulent. As the sect’s Young Master, naturally, I have been busy!"
Lin Xueying looked at Zhou Xun, feeling extremely satisfied in her heart!
This was the lover she had chosen, who has now grown into a towering force capable of protecting a nation.
"The sect’s trivial matters can be handled by the disciples. You should take it easy!" Zhou Xun replied.
"That’s right, Xueying, you should just focus on your cultivation and aim for Core Formation; we can handle the rest!"
At the side, Master Yun’an nodded in agreement.
For Lin Xueying, achieving True Pill as soon as possible was the most urgent matter.
As long as she didn’t achieve True Pill, she couldn’t truly control the Cloud Light Sect; after all, the Cultivation Realm still values strength above all.
Even with Zhou Xun’s support, if she remained at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she would be like a mascot, with fame but no substance.
Seeing everyone’s agreement, Lin Xueying also nodded:
"I’ll listen to you!"
"Master Zhou, why not come into the mountain gate for a chat?" Master Yun’an invited, gesturing inside.
"Certainly!"
Immediately, accompanied by Lin Xueying, they all flew to the Cloud Light Hall.
Not long after, they arrived at the Cloud Light Hall.
At this moment, exquisite dishes were laid out in the hall, all prepared in advance by Master Yun’an.
"Master, please take the seat of honor!"
Master Yun’an was extremely polite, leading Zhou Xun and Lin Xueying straight to the main seats.
There were four positions here, just enough for the four of them to sit.
"I heard long ago that the master loves Peach Blossom Brew. Back when the Chen family patriarch was still around, he brewed four jars of Tier Three Peach Blossom Brew, and this jar is one of them,"
"Please taste it, Master!"
Master Yun’an pointed to the wine jar on the table as he introduced it.
"Oh?"
Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up upon hearing this!
"It’s actually Tier Three Peach Blossom Brew. I must give it a good taste!"
During the chat, Master Yun’an patted the mud seal, and instantly, a waft of delightful wine fragrance filled the air.
Inhaling it, one felt refreshed!
Zhou Xun’s index finger twitched, his craving for the wine aroused.
Master Yun’an picked up the wine jar and poured a cup for Zhou Xun. The pale red wine fell, sparkling like jade.
"Master, please!"
Zhou Xun picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one go!
As the wine went down his throat, an indescribable feeling instantly rose in his mouth, the wine’s aroma rich and mellow, with a hint of sweetness, making one feel as if they were in a peach grove in spring!
Upon reaching the stomach, a pure spiritual power surged, tumbling within the abdomen.
Zhou Xun immediately activated the Spirit Wood True Technique to refine it.
Just one cup of wine saved him at least half a month of arduous cultivation.
Without a doubt, it was Tier Three level Peach Blossom Brew,
In terms of taste, among all the Spirit Wines he had drunk, none could compare.
"Excellent wine!" Zhou Xun praised!
Seeing that Zhou Xun liked it, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then began to chat, drinking and making merry in high spirits.
Once the drinks and meals were finished, Master Yun’an finally asked Zhou Xun about his purpose for coming,
"I wonder if the master has come for an important matter?"
Upon hearing Master Yun’an’s inquiry, Zhou Xun did not conceal it.
"I have come to exchange for some Tier Three Demon Beast Hides and Tier Three Spirit Wood. I wonder if your sect has these treasures?"
"Tier Three Demon Beast Hide?" Master Yun’an immediately glanced at Master Jin Hong.
Master Jin Hong understood, laughed heartily, and said:
"Brother Zhou, you have come at the right time. I happen to have a complete Tier Three Demon Beast Hide, yet to be used!"
"Since Brother Zhou needs it, I will give it to you directly!"
As he spoke, Master Jin Hong patted his Storage Bag, and a streak of Spirit Light flew out, landing on the ground, transforming into a giant Demon Beast Hide.
Zhou Xun stepped forward to take a look, and indeed!
It was the Beast Hide of the Huang Yuan Demon King, Lizard Great Demon, who once attacked White Cloud Immortal City!
Zhou Xun was overjoyed, lifting his head to look at Master Jin Hong, inquiring:
"Indeed, it is Tier Three Demon Beast Hide, something I urgently need. I wonder what Daoist Brother Jin Hong would like in exchange, Tier Three Materials, Low-Grade Magical Treasures, I have plenty!"
Hearing this, Master Jin Hong glanced at Master Yun’an opposite him, laughed heartily, and said:
"Since it is something Brother Zhou needs, just take it. There’s no need to talk about exchanges!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun shook his head.
The most expensive thing is what’s free; Zhou Xun understood this principle very well!
So he said:
"As the saying goes, no merit should be received without reward, especially such a precious Tier Three Demon Beast Hide. If Daoist Brother has any conditions, feel free to speak!"
"This..." Master Jin Hong hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"We have an impolite request, please don’t mind, Brother Zhou!"
"Please go ahead, Daoist Brother!"
"We wish to invite Brother Zhou to serve as an Honored Guest Elder of our Cloud Light Sect, with the same treatment as the Grand Elder, I wonder if Brother Zhou is interested?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xun was not surprised.
Currently, the Cloud Light Sect could be described as being in turmoil, with only Master Jin Hong as a True Pill Cultivator within the sect, and even he is in a semi-disabled state.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xun is like a rising star, having not only formed a High-Grade True Pill but possessing astonishing combat prowess.
Early-Stage Core Formation could counter Late-Stage!
With such a True Pill Cultivator by their side, the cultivators of the Cloud Light Sect literally couldn’t sleep nor eat in peace.
Fortunately, the presence of Lin Xueying initiated the idea of recruitment.
If they could persuade Zhou Xun to join, having the presence of Late-Stage Core Formation combat power could not only reverse their decline but might even surpass their past glories.
Seeing Zhou Xun did not refuse, Master Jin Hong was pleased and pressed on:
"After becoming an Honored Guest Elder, all scriptures and cultivation techniques within our sect will be open to you,"
"You may take whatever you need from the sect’s treasure vault at will!"
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun was greatly astonished!
The sect’s treasure vault is considered the sect’s foundation, yet they would let him take from it freely. Even Zhou Xun had not anticipated such generosity.
With this condition, it could be said that the Cloud Light Sect is letting Zhou Xun take whatever he desires!
"Such sincerity is rarely seen in the world!"
Moreover, Zhou Xun already intended to support Lin Xueying!
Becoming this Honored Guest Elder, perhaps it’s not out of the question. After careful thought, Zhou Xun agreed, nodding:
"With such sincerity from Daoist Brother Jin Hong, if I were to refuse, it would seem too inconsiderate of me!"
"In the future, I ask for your continued support, brothers!"
Master Jin Hong was overjoyed to hear this! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Immediately, he patted his Storage Bag and took out an Ancient Token, handing it to Zhou Xun, saying:
"This is the Grand Elder Order, it is the key to the sect’s internal treasury, and also the Manipulation Token for the mountain gate array; please accept it, Brother Zhou!"
"This!"
Zhou Xun was full of surprise!
Accepting this token means holding the lifeline of the Cloud Light Sect, should Zhou Xun have ill intentions, the Cloud Light Sect could be destroyed in an instant!
"Please accept it, Master; it is the will of Brother Yun Yi, and it is also our collective wish!" Master Yun’an urged on the side.
"In that case, I will take custody of it. Once Xueying achieves Core Formation, I will return it to her!"
Zhou Xun accepted the token, and solemnly addressed everyone.
Hearing this, Master Jin Hong nodded slightly, silently praying in his heart,
"Senior Brother, I hope everything turns out as you predicted."
