Chapter 875: Chapter 138: Battle Merits Secured, Redeeming the Spirit Ginseng! (Part 2)

A plaque hung under the eaves, inscribed with the three big characters "Celestial Star Hall".

Then the two of them walked inside,

The space inside the hall was extremely spacious, the dome was exceedingly high, and in the center of the hall stood two massive teleportation array bases,

This was precisely where Zhou Xun was setting up the array!

"Brother, how’s it going?"

"No problem, it will be done in at most half a day!"

Then True Monarch Yama slowly retreated to the entrance of the hall, leaving the space for Zhou Xun to perform his work.

Zhou Xun approached the high platform on the left, his expression solemn.

He slapped his waist storage bag,

Several spirit lights flew out and transformed into delicate spirit jades suspended in the air, each engraved with Dao patterns,

These were precisely the ones Zhou Xun had refined in advance a year ago at the Teleportation Hall in the West Desert,

Roughly counted, there were a total of 480 pieces,

Seeing this, Zhou Xun changed his spells, guiding these spirit jade array bases to arrange them according to the array map, one after another, until they finally landed on the high platform on the left,

With Zhou Xun casting spirit light, the array base was set up,

Next was the most important "Profound Void Crystal".

He waved his hand, and a Profound Void Crystal about the size of an adult’s head flew out, landing steadily in the center of the array base,

Seeing this, Zhou Xun formed a spell with his hands and struck towards the array.

With a flicker of light, half of the long-distance teleportation array was set up,

Next, Zhou Xun performed the same method to set up the teleportation array on the right platform!

"Brother, is it completed?" True Monarch Yama asked joyfully.

"It’s basically done. Next, we still need to test it. Only after there are no issues can we consider it truly complete!" Zhou Xun replied.

"Alright, I have instructed the cultivators at the Teleportation Hall to check the teleportation array to Central Continent every day before noon to assist us in testing the array!"

True Monarch Yama said as he calculated the hour,

"Right now, there’s a quarter of an hour left until noon, they will be over soon!"

Zhou Xun nodded upon hearing this,

He slapped his waist spirit beast bag,

A tier two demon monkey, seven feet tall and covered in golden brown fur, appeared in front of him,

He formed a spell with his hands and pointed at the demon monkey, several restrictions immobilized it completely.

Then, Zhou Xun placed it in the center of the teleportation array, retrieved a teleportation talisman, and activated it, attaching it to its body.

After doing this,

Zhou Xun took out ten middle-grade spirit stones and evenly placed them in the five grooves around the array.

The West Desert and Central Continent are neighboring cultivation realms,

The Spiritual Qi from ten spirit stones is sufficient,

Then began to wait,

Very soon, a quarter of an hour passed,

As noon arrived, Zhou Xun took out a token and activated a spirit light, striking it towards the array!

The array instantly lit up,

Then a spirit light shot from each of the five corners and struck the demon monkey.

In the next moment, a flash of light.

The demon monkey’s figure suddenly disappeared from the teleportation array.

Then, the two began to wait,

After approximately several dozen breaths, the array lit up again, and the demon monkey that had just been teleported out reappeared in the center of the teleportation array,

Zhou Xun immediately stepped forward to inspect it!

To his delight,

The demon monkey was unharmed, which indicated that the teleportation array was successfully set up and could now be used normally!

"Brother, how was it?" True Monarch Yama hurriedly asked,

"Reporting to Daoist Brother, I was fortunate not to fail; this teleportation array is entirely normal and can be used regularly!" Zhou Xun reported.

Then he performed the same test on the adjacent teleportation array,

The result was delightful; this teleportation array was also successfully set up!

"Hahaha, I knew with you taking action, there wouldn’t be any issues...Now that it’s done, let’s return to the West Desert!"

"With this array, traveling to Central Continent will be much more convenient!" True Monarch Yama was extremely pleased,

"I have another matter to attend to this time, I fear I cannot return with Daoist Brother!" Zhou Xun said,

Previously, Wang Erniu specifically approached him, asking him to make a trip to the Eastern Wilderness to deliver the "Wood Element Essence" to Lin Xue’e,

If I were late, and Lin Xue’e couldn’t obtain the essence and perished, it would be troublesome!

"Oh, how long do you need?"

"Ten days should be enough!" Zhou Xun contemplated for a moment, then replied!

"Alright, then I’ll wait here!"

Thus Zhou Xun left Yama Immortal City, used the teleportation array multiple times, and finally returned to the Eastern Wilderness to personally hand the bottle of ’Wood Element Essence’ to Lin Xue’e,

Watching her consume it, he then returned.

...

Yama Immortal City, Celestial Star Hall,

Zhou Xun stepped inside,

"Haha, Brother is back!" True Monarch Yama greeted with a smile,

"I apologize for keeping Daoist Brother waiting!" Zhou Xun bowed,

"It’s a minor issue; now that you’re back, let’s not delay and return to the West Desert!" The two of them stood in the center of the teleportation array, then took out two teleportation talismans,

Giving one to Zhou Xun.

Then taking out spirit stones and tokens, they formed a spell with their hands and struck the array,

With a flash of white light, their figures instantly disappeared from the original place,

Once they set foot on solid ground again, the teleportation was complete,

"Very good, this is the Teleportation Hall; Brother, you’ve succeeded; the cultivators from Central Continent who are in the West Desert will appreciate your work!"

True Monarch Yama scanned around and couldn’t help but show a praising look.

This teleportation array costs only a thousand spirit stones to activate once; more importantly, it’s a large teleportation array that can accommodate fifty people at once,

Meaning it costs just twenty spirit stones per person,

Even ordinary soldiers at the Qi Cultivation Stage can afford it!

Next, they’re finally able to return to Central Continent and reunite with their sect and relatives.

"They left their homes for the sake of the human race, coming here. To be able to do something for them is deeply gratifying for me!" Zhou Xun nodded slightly.

The two spoke as they walked out of the Teleportation Hall,

"Since this teleportation array is set up, let’s head to the Merit Department to settle your three hundred battle merits!"

True Monarch Yama said and led Zhou Xun to the Merit Department,

With True Monarch Yama as the Deputy Commander personally confirming, the three hundred battle merit points naturally were smoothly entered under Zhou Xun’s name.

Adding the two hundred and nineteen point two he originally had,

That would be five hundred and nineteen point two, more than enough to exchange for that ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’!

To avoid future uncertainties, Zhou Xun decided to immediately head to the Battle Merit Exchange area,

Soon, Zhou Xun returned to that hall, meeting the blue-robed middle-aged man.

"It’s Daoist Zhou, what treasures are you looking to exchange for this time?"

The middle-aged man, holding a jade scroll and focused intently, heard footsteps and looked up to see Zhou Xun; he greeted him.

"Indeed!" Zhou Xun nodded,

Hearing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand, a jade scroll appeared in his hand, then he handed it over to Zhou Xun, "This is the treasure exchange list; see what you need!"

Zhou Xun smiled slightly, took the jade scroll, and without checking, directly said:

"I already have a target for the exchanged item; I went out this time to accumulate battle merits, finally gathered enough, please, Daoist, exchange the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ for me!"

Saying this, Zhou Xun handed over his token!

"Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng, I remember it requires four hundred ninety-nine battle merits, Daoist Zhou is able to gain so much merit, your abilities are extraordinary!"

The blue-robed middle-aged man smiled as he probed a jade box beside him,

Suddenly his expression paused, shaking his head, with a slightly regretful tone he said:

"I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Daoist Zhou, the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ has already been completely exchanged by others!"

"What, exchanged by others?"

"Four months ago when I came here, there were still two plants left!" Zhou Xun couldn’t believe it.

"Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng can enhance Divine Sense, highly popular; not to mention four months, whenever it appears, it never lasts beyond a month!" The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll check next time!" Zhou Xun shook his head,

"Daoist Zhou, don’t you want to check other treasures?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun’s heart moved, and he suddenly had a notion!
