Chapter 912: Chapter 155: Departure, Commander Ji’s Appreciation

It seems it won’t be long,

before the ’True Monarch Yama’ who shakes the Human-Ghost Races will once again appear on the West Desert Front.

"This is also the credit of the ’Crossing Pill’. Speaking of it, this pill was exchanged from Daoist Gong!" Zhou Xun said with a slight smile.

"It’s an honor for Gong Mou that this pill can be of use!" The middle-aged man chuckled.

"I wonder this time, what kind of treasures the Pavilion Master wishes to exchange, a new batch has been added, though the quantity is not large!"

"This is the list of treasures, please take a look, Pavilion Master!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his hand, and a Jade Scroll appeared in his hand, which he then handed to Zhou Xun,

Zhou Xun nodded, took the Jade Scroll, and began to examine it,

"Indeed, this time’s exchange list has many treasures not seen before," Zhou Xun was overjoyed and quickly looked further down.

"Treasure Spirit Pill, Tier Four Treasure Pill, can enhance Tier Four Demon Cultivators’ cultivation!"

Seeing this, Zhou Xun’s eyes lit up; he had as many as four Tier Four Spirit Beasts under his command,

who were of diminishing help due to their lack of cultivation. If their cultivation speed could be increased, it would be excellent!

As for the exchange of their battle merits, it costs ten points of battle merits per bottle, with each bottle containing ten Storage Pills,

Zhou Xun immediately decided to spend some battle merits to exchange for some Treasure Spirit Pills to accelerate their cultivation.

He then continued to examine further,

various pills that enhance mana, complete foundations, and different types of inheritances, etc.

After a long time, Zhou Xun handed the Jade Scroll back to the middle-aged man in blue robes,

"Daoist Gong, do you know if the ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ has been restocked this time?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun took out his Token and handed it over!

"Pavilion Master, please wait a moment, let me check" the middle-aged man in blue robes smiled and explored a Jade Box beside him, but quickly shook his head:

"The ’Nine-Curves Illusion Spirit Ginseng’ is still not restocked this time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded without much disappointment, as he could exchange for it once he returned to the Great Jin,

"Very well, please exchange twenty bottles of these ’Treasure Spirit Pills,’ and in addition, one bottle of ’Spirit-Encompassing Dew’ and four bottles of ’Frost Dew’!"

’Spirit-Encompassing Dew’ is precisely the treasure that helped him quickly reach the peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul; this time, exchanging one bottle is just right for his main body to use,

As for Frost Dew, it is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object used by Middle-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators to enhance mana. Previously, he had obtained quite a few from Su Yu’s Storage Bag,

but they were only enough for his manifestation to use, hence he would exchange for more.

"Besides these three treasures, does Daoist Zhou require any other treasures?"

"Do you have the heart essence blood of Tier Three Demon Kings, I only need one drop of each!" Zhou Xun inquired about this item, naturally preparing to set up the ’Extremely Yin Blood Demon Array,’

This Array is an essential item for the sacrificial refining of Tier Four Blood Demon Generals,

Last time, Zhou Xun already exchanged for the core Blood Essence Stone, now he still needs heart essence blood from one hundred and eight different Tier Three Demon Beasts, just takes this opportunity to inquire,

If he could exchange for some, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Heart essence blood of a Demon King?"

"This is generally found on the exchange list for Core Formation Cultivators, but since Pavilion Master Zhou requires it, I can certainly check!"

The middle-aged man in blue robes said, and then started checking again, before soon smiling:

"I’ve already checked, the Secret Vault does indeed have a lot, a total of forty-three types, does the Pavilion Master want to exchange for all of them?"

"I would trouble Daoist Gong for this!"

Zhou Xun was overjoyed at the words, thinking he could only acquire a dozen kinds at most, unexpectedly there were as many as forty-three types, solving nearly half of the issue.

Next, once he returned to the Great Jin, with the help of Shan Xionghai and the pathways of Great Jin, he believed it would soon be resolved!

In fact, the fastest way would be to seek help from the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor,

"Does the Pavilion Master need any other treasures?" the middle-aged man in blue robes asked.

Subsequently, Zhou Xun spent over a hundred battle merits to exchange for three Tier Four Middle-Grade Spirit Medicines and some materials for refining Tier Four Puppets,

Last time, he had exchanged for a Tier Four Puppet inheritance,

During his leisure time, he could take the opportunity to research it.

"I would ask the Pavilion Master to present the Token!"

After selecting the treasures, it was necessary to deduct the corresponding battle merits, but Zhou Xun had gained as much as one thousand seven hundred points this time, so it was naturally enough.

Zhou Xun then took out his Token and handed it over,

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man in blue robes took out a special Spirit Pen, activated it, pointed it toward the Token, and deducted more than a thousand battle merits,

Among them, the Treasure Spirit Pill costs ten points per bottle, two hundred points for twenty pieces,

Spirit-Encompassing Dew costs three hundred points,

Frost Dew costs eighty-five battle merits per bottle, four bottles amounting to three hundred and sixty battle merits,

Adding in the sixty-three points for the three spiritual medicines, one hundred and twenty-one points for the demon king’s heart essence blood, and puppet materials,

A total of one thousand and forty-four battle merits,

After deducting the battle merits, the middle-aged man with the surname Gong took out eight Jade Tokens and handed them together with Zhou Xun’s Token,

Zhou Xun took them and then bid farewell, leaving to exchange for the treasures from Master Mingku at the Secret Vault,

...

Upon returning to the Cave Mansion, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent golden Dragon Robe, standing tall with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, waiting at his door,

it was Commander Ji.

"Greetings to Commander Ji!"

Zhou Xun cupped his hands in salute, curious as to why he had come to his Cave Mansion.

"Daoist Zhou has returned!"

"If Commander has any matters, please come inside and talk!" With that, the two of them went straight to the courtyard to have a conversation.

Zhou Xun personally brewed a pot of Middle-Grade Tier Four Cloud Mist Tea to entertain him.

"I heard that Daoist Zhou plans to return to the Great Jin, is it true?" Commander Ji asked,

"Yes, I’ve been stationed in the West Desert for several years and have made some merits. I plan to take advantage of the currently stable situation between the Human-Demon Races,"

"to return to the Great Jin and focus on cultivation for a while!" Zhou Xun replied.

"That sounds good. With your talent, if you can advance to the Late-Stage Nascent Soul sooner, the future value you bring to our Human Race will be even greater!"

"However, you are the Pavilion Master of our Great Jin and counted as one of our Jinn Court. Naturally, I must provide some support,"

With that, Commander Ji produced a letter and handed it to Zhou Xun,

"This is a letter I wrote to the Jinn Emperor. You can give it to him on my behalf. With his support, your actions in the Great Jin will surely be more convenient!"

"Do you know that within the Secret Vault Department of the Great Jin, there is also an Inner Treasury that only the core of our Jinn Court’s core can access?"

"Even Spiritual Objects that assist in advancing to Divinity Transformation are available in it!"

"Of course, using such items requires the consent of the Ancestor, but even so, it proves the rarity of the treasures in this treasury!"

"I have already recommended you to the Jinn Emperor. Upon your return, you will have the rights to exchange treasures in the Inner Treasury. By then, your battle merits from the West Desert can be converted into Contribution Points for the Inner Treasury!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun could not help but be delighted and cupped his hands:

"I owe my thanks to Commander Ji for this matter. Zhou Mou will surely remember this kindness!"

Hearing this, Commander Ji waved his hand and said:

"I merely see your talent as rare, and thus lend a little assistance. If you can ascend to Divinity Transformation in the future, that would truly be a reward!"

"Alright, I shall take my leave!"

With that, Commander Ji walked out.

.....

After Commander Ji left, Zhou Xun went next door,

At this time, True Monarch Tianci and Wang Erniu were already prepared.

"Elder Brother, let us depart!" Wang Erniu said,

and the three of them went out together. As soon as they reached the gate,

they saw True Monarch Celestial One, True Monarch Profound Resonance, the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, and others who had participated in the last battle all came,

"Daoist Zhou, Daoist Ji, I heard from Brother Yu that you are leaving, so I came to see you off!"

The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Emperor spoke, a hearty smile on his face, with eyes full of appreciation and reluctance towards Zhou Xun.

"My fellow Daoists, Zhou Mou is truly grateful for this kindness!"

Zhou Xun was moved, cupping his hands in gratitude, his gaze sweeping over everyone, the scenes of fighting shoulder to shoulder vividly in his mind, his heart warmed.

True Monarch Celestial One came forward, patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder, and said:

"Younger Brother Zhou, return soon, so we can fight shoulder to shoulder again. When that day comes, it might be the time when we rely on you!"

Everyone exchanged words, filled with concern and hope.

Zhou Xun was slightly touched, formally bowing again with fists clasped: "Rest assured, fellow Daoists, Zhou Mou will not disappoint you. When I return, I will once again stand beside you to defend against external foes!"

Afterwards, everyone exchanged pleasantries for some time, only then did Zhou Xun, True Monarch Tianci, and Wang Erniu take their leave.
