alchemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He speculated that even without the Spring Condensation Scripture, he would still do quite well in the Cultivation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this is on the condition that he learns the alchemy skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun broke through to Middle-Grade Alchemist in just two years and had already mastered the refining methods of over ten Middle-Grade Elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he wanted to try refining High-Grade Elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Half-Spirit Grass outside the cave mansion before him was his assurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he intended to refine a High-Grade Antitoxic Pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The antitoxic pill lineage is inherited from Low-Grade, High-Grade, all the way to Tier Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refining technique goes from simple to complex, and the herbs from low-level to high-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Zhou Xun, who skillfully mastered the Middle-Grade Antitoxic Pill refining method, it was the easiest High-Grade Elixir to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crucial main medicine for the High-Grade Antitoxic Pill is a High-Grade Spirit Medicine called Clear Spirit Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun bought two of these Spirit Medicines in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He specially bought them with a martial artist’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was still young, and refining High-Grade Elixirs was somewhat astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if Zhou Xun broke through to High-Grade, he wouldn’t expose it for a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Cultivation Realm, as a person without strong background, you may have talent, but it’s best not to be too talented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the prestigious Wu Family from Red Leaf Square, which produced an Earth Spirit Root Cultivator, still needed to hide their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out the Pill Furnace, he placed Silver Spirit Charcoal underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him lay a dozen Half-Spirit Grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously tested that as the level of spirit plants increase, their effect on purifying spirit medicine also greatly improves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the higher the quality of elixirs being refined, the higher the level of essence required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was refining High-Grade Elixirs, and the purification effect of Spirit Grain was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a spell cast, the Silver Spirit Charcoal was lit instantly, and after a moment, the furnace was fully heated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light wave of Zhou Xun’s hand, the lid of the furnace opened automatically, and a portion of the High-Grade Antitoxic Pill spirit medicine flew in by itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sound came from the pill furnace, followed by a wisp of smoke wafting out, filling the entire Alchemy Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The refining failed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion of the potion failed, making purification unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun remained calm, showing no regret over wasting materials worth several dozen spirit stones on the antitoxic pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully recalled the mistakes in the refining, simulating the process once more in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming his mind, he started refining again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several more hours, a fragrant aroma emanated from the pill furnace, and then five crystalline pills flew out, landing in Zhou Xun’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon careful inspection, two were genuine, and three were inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s still considered a successful refining!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the rise in elixir grade, producing over ten pills in a furnace was no longer possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless his alchemy skill reached Tier Two, he might be able to refine two sets of materials in one furnace, recreating the spectacle of producing over ten pills at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Half-Spirit Grass beside him, he purified the three antitoxic pills into genuine ones, then stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly, and another half year flashed by. Zhou Xun had already mastered the refining of four or five High-Grade Elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he hadn’t reached a proficient level yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In each refining, at least half were inferior, requiring the essence of Half-Spirit Grass for purification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as he continued refining more, he would become increasingly skilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to restrictions of status, it wasn’t easy to sell the High-Grade Elixirs he refined, so Zhou Xun had to reduce his refining frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the materials for refining High-Grade Elixirs were quite valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this half-year, Zhou Xun’s body refinement also successfully broke through to the second layer, equivalent to Fifth-Layer Qi Refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the Body Refining Technique, he could withstand the attack of a Fifth-Layer Qi Refining Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, my progress in body refinement surpasses that of my cultivation,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were to add in my Magical Artifact and spell, my combat power should not be below a Seventh-Layer Qi Refining Cultivator, perhaps even surpass it!\" Zhou Xun mused to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Zhou, hug!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Zhou Xun was tending to the spirit grass in front of his cave mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, he saw a little girl with pigtails bouncing joyfully over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here, Ying’er dear, see what this is?\" Zhou Xun picked up the little girl, then took out a small porcelain bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s spirit honey!\" The little girl laughed happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two months ago, the spirit flowers in front of Zhou Xun’s cave mansion bloomed, attracting a hive of Tier One Low-Grade Spirit Peaks that settled on a large tree by the cave mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun naturally wouldn’t miss out, and since then, he had gained another spiritual object—spirit honey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He later gifted quite a bit to Shi Jingfeng, Lin Xueying, Song Zhishu, and other acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Jingfeng’s little daughter had a sweet tooth and often came by Zhou Xun’s place after that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn’t go to such trouble, Brother Zhou!\" Shi Jingfeng followed behind, feeling a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, it’s just a small amount of spirit honey,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, do you have any news about the matter I asked you to investigate?\" Zhou Xun asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Jingfeng, working in the Law Enforcement Team, was well-informed, so Zhou Xun asked him to gather information about White Cloud Immortal City and Red Leaf Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came specifically to tell you about this, Brother Zhou!\" Shi Jingfeng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is said that the Ghost Realm inflicted heavy injuries on Master White Cloud and also claimed the lives of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and several Qi Refining Cultivators. That Foundation Establishment Cultivator was reportedly from the Wu Family of Red Leaf Square!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wu Family was quite remarkable, having a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but strangely enough, the Wu Family was attacked by Tribulation Cultivators, with many members dead or scattered, thus marking the fall of such a large Wu Family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumor has it that only some side branches were left, retreating to the southern Fengg Country!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving only the Sunx and Li Families in Red Leaf Square!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Shi Jingfeng sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Zhou, are you a member of the Lin Family?\" Suddenly, Shi Jingfeng changed the subject and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun nodded, expecting Shi Jingfeng to deduce this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhou Xun asked him to gather information, he already guessed that Shi Jingfeng might figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, given his outstanding alchemy skill and keen interest in Red Leaf Square, it naturally linked him to the Lin Family known for its alchemists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I am not a member of the Lin Family; I’m just an alchemist under them!\" Zhou Xun explained, feeling no need to hide this identity. Now that the Wu Family had fallen, there was even less reason to conceal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even speculated that the Song Family was aware of his true identity, but since he hadn’t mentioned it, they stayed silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief chat, Shi Jingfeng took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun immediately went to Lin Xueying’s cave mansion and called over Wang Erniu and his wife to inform them of the news about Red Leaf Square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humph! The Wu Family’s fate serves them right!\" Lin Xueying sneered after hearing the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sister, should we return to Red Leaf Square?\" Lin Xue’e asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to here, she still favored Red Leaf Square, where she had grown up and where every hill and stream was familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xueying shook her head, calmly stating:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In today’s Red Leaf Square, there is no place for us anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun nodded, roughly guessing the reason for the Wu Family’s fall, and believed it wasn’t unrelated to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wu Family intended to rely on Master White Cloud to jointly resist the Cloud Light Sect’s oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, Master White Cloud was seriously injured exploring the Ghost Realm and could barely manage himself, let alone aid the Wu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Cloud Light Sect’s assault, the Wu Family naturally couldn’t withstand it and quickly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining Sunx and Li Families would undoubtedly turn to the Cloud Light Sect, becoming obedient gatekeepers henceforth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xue’e nodded forlornly, not speaking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, they each returned to their cave mansions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Xun had been in Qingyue Square for three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, Shi Jingfeng visited again, bringing fresh news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Red Leaf Square has changed hands, and the Lin Family has made a strong return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1480,"2026-06-02T11:38:42.695Z",1,"novelbin.me","8123555a82880aebeddd9744f9200d088ca531d6a64acbafe08a2de524211528","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-61","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-40",564,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-cover.jpg"]
