Chapter 634 - 20: Steady Progress, Strength Enhanced
Zhou Xun stepped out of the door, deliberately taking along a small packet of Spiritual Mist Tea.
Although this tea is only Tier Three High-Grade, judging from the reactions of True Monarch Tianci and several Nascent Soul Cultivators, it still has a significant effect on them.
Previously, when True Monarch Yongyuan refined the Talisman Pen for him, he did not charge any fees, so naturally, Zhou Xun wanted to reciprocate with a small gift in return.
After half a moment, Zhou Xun arrived in front of True Monarch Yongyuan’s Cave Mansion,
took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and whispered a few words softly before sending it inside.
The talisman transformed into a burst of flames and entered the Cave Mansion.
After a brief moment, the door of the Cave Mansion opened from the inside, and immediately a large figure squeezed out.
At the same time, there was an extremely hearty voice:
"Hahaha, Daoist Zhou visiting makes my humble abode truly shine, please come inside!"
True Monarch Yongyuan displayed extreme enthusiasm, making people feel like a spring breeze, which was the complete opposite of the cold reception Zhou Xun received during his last visit.
It seems in this world, the strong are revered, and only those with power earn respect.
Zhou Xun smiled slightly and cupped his hands:
"Daoist Brother Yongyuan, you are too kind!"
He then followed him inside the gate, directly heading to the reception hall!
Before sitting down, Zhou Xun flipped his palm, took out a small packet of Spirit Tea, and placed it on the table made of Tier Three Spirit Wood.
"What is this, Daoist Zhou?"
"Daoist Brother, you put too much effort into refining the Talisman Pen for me!"
"This is Spiritual Mist Tea produced in my hometown, although only Tier Three High-Grade, it has a unique flavor. Daoist Brother Tianci and Daoist Brother Qianchuan praised it highly, so I brought some for you to taste!"
"It’s just a token of my appreciation!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
"Is it Spirit Tea? How did you know I love this? Today is truly a blessing!" True Monarch Yongyuan laughed heartily.
"Let me prepare a pot!"
With that, he made a gesture and brought out two teacups, both made of Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Jade, extremely valuable.
He took a few Spirit Tea Leaves out from Zhou Xun’s tea packet and placed them into the teacups,
then he performed a spell with his hands, pointing towards the teacups!
The Spirit Light flew out and hit them, water spontaneously emerged in the teacups, then it began to "gurgle" and boil!
A delicate fragrance of tea leaves started to waft out.
"Please!"
"Daoist Brother, please!" Zhou Xun lifted his teacup, slightly pointing it forward,
True Monarch Yongyuan picked up his teacup, doing the same, then taking a deep breath, became invigorated, and sent the Spirit Tea into his mouth,
As the tea entered his throat, he felt it sweet and moist, warmth rising from his abdomen, slowly circulating throughout his body, as if washing away all fatigue and mundane thoughts.
As the effect of the Spirit Tea gradually manifested, his state of mind also became tranquil and peaceful!
"Good tea, truly good tea!"
True Monarch Yongyuan praised unceasingly,
If there were any elements of flattery in his previous words, now it was pure admiration, he genuinely liked it.
"Hahaha, not to boast, but this Spirit Tea of mine, after True Monarch Tianci, True Monarch Qianchuan, and others drank it, everyone loved it!"
Zhou Xun said with a smile.
The two then chatted leisurely for a long time, until nightfall, before they prepared to leave.
Before leaving, True Monarch Yongyuan handed the refined Talisman Pen to Zhou Xun.
"This refining process was extremely smooth. This pen is one of the best in my career, Daoist Zhou, why not open it and take a look!"
Zhou Xun hurriedly accepted the Wooden Box containing the Talisman Pen.
Gently opening it, revealed a seven-inch long, wholly grayish-white Talisman Pen, with the words "Jin Zhu" engraved on it, as Zhou Xun had specially requested True Monarch Yongyuan to engrave,
to commemorate the one he used previously!
The pen, although not eye-catching in appearance, if a trace of Divine Sense was used, one would find a Spirit Charm hidden within, the Spirit Light subdued, truly a rare premium item!
With a thought, he took out a set of Tier Three Talisman Making tools and began refining on the spot,
The pen moved like a dragon and serpent, completing the process in one go,
In a moment, a Tier Three High-Grade Talisman was drawn to completion!
Carefully savoring the refining process earlier, the Spiritual Power transmission was extremely clear, even with some enhancements, he nodded repeatedly,
"Not bad, not bad, truly an excellent Talisman Pen, many thanks, Daoist Yongyuan!" Zhou Xun cupped his hands in thanks.
"Hahaha, Daoist Zhou, there’s no need to be so formal, we hit it off immediately, what is refining a Talisman Pen?"
"If Daoist has any treasures in need of refining in the future, just come to me!"
True Monarch Yongyuan laughed heartily, appearing extremely friendly, a stark contrast to his initial arrogance!
"Of course, I hope Daoist Brother Yongyuan won’t find me coming too often, hahaha..." Zhou Xun joked, then cupped his hands and took his leave.
...
Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, it was already night, and Zhou Xun went to his bedroom to rest!
Although now with his Cultivation, even without sleeping he wouldn’t be affected, he still chose to keep some habits from his mortal days,
he found it greatly beneficial for his state of mind!
The next day, sunlight streamed through the window lattice onto Zhou Xun’s face, like a layer of golden gauze,
at this moment he just awoke, stretching lazily, showing a satisfying expression!
"Indeed, even for a Cultivator, a good night’s sleep is greatly beneficial!" Zhou Xun felt an extremely calm and natural state of mind at this moment!
He then went directly to the Cultivation Room.
Took out a Cushion, sat cross-legged in front of a small table,
Then Zhou Xun lit a stick of Tier Three Top-Grade Calming Incense, sandalwood aroma rose, lingering around his nose.
Zhou Xun’s originally calm heart became even more serene,
