Lord of Time: From a Five Elements Cultivator to a Master of All Daos

Chapter 106 Replenishing Sources
"No gift."

Wei Zhong waved his hand and sat cross-legged at the table with Tan Tai Lin and Yu Xianglan.

Since a Jindan cultivator was here, Lu and Lin naturally had no right to sit with him.

As a junior, Lin Muxue served tea to the three people and stood aside with Lu Yibin.

Wei Zhong looked up at the woman in white and said:
“This must be Palace Master Yu’s senior disciple Lin Muxue. She is indeed extremely talented.

His aura is full and mellow. I'm afraid it won't be long before your sect will have another Jindan cultivator."

Hearing Wei Zhong's praise, Yu Xianglan also looked proud:
“Master Tiezhen praised me highly. My talent is ordinary. I have practiced for more than a hundred years to reach this level…”

Wei Zhong turned his eyes to Lu Yibin. The other party was still dressed in a white robe, but compared to his previous high spirits, his face now looked much more depressed.

“As for this young friend, is he the true disciple of the Lu family whose foundation was damaged?”

Hearing Wei Zhong directly uncovering his wound, Lu Yibin's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Because of the damage to his foundation, he had already received countless cold stares from the sect. Over time, even if someone brought up the matter in person, he could still remain calm for a moment.

Seeing Wei Zhong bringing up the topic of Lu Yibin, Yu Xianglan said:
"That's right. I wonder if Master Tiezhen has any method to heal the injury to the foundation?"

At the same time, he sent a message to Lu Yibin, whose expression changed several times. Finally, he knelt on both knees in front of Wei Zhong, with his head hanging down before his knees, and pleaded:
"Please save me, senior."

Wei Zhong sighed.

'Lu Yibin was once the proud son of the Qingmu Sect, and he was so majestic. But now he has to bow down and beg for his own path.

This is really unpredictable!'

"Young friend, you should go ahead. I am just an alchemist who knows a little about pharmacology, but I am not good at treating people.

"My friend has suffered this injury for many years, so I guess you must have asked for help from more than one third-level alchemist, right?"

Yu Xianglan nodded:
“That’s right, our sect’s former Alchemy Hall Master Duan and the current third-level Alchemy Master Qi have both checked on his injuries.

But they all said there was no way to save the situation. "

After hearing this, Wei Zhong said, "Well, let me take a look. Come forward."

Lu Yibin took a step forward and bowed slightly to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong stretched out his right hand and placed it on his wrist, and his powerful spiritual sense instantly penetrated into his body.

At this moment, under the coverage of the Jindan consciousness, Wei Zhong knew everything inside Lu Yibin's body.

'The green spiritual power, this is probably the "Spring and Autumn Evergreen Art" modified by the Qingmu Sect based on the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art".

However, the quality of this spiritual power is far inferior. No wonder Yao Zhengsheng would rather practice the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" which lacks subsequent spells than practice this kind of skill.'

When Wei Zhong's spiritual sense penetrated, Wei Zhong in front of Lu Yibin seemed to have instantly turned into a ferocious beast.

Being in such close contact with a Jindan cultivator, the pressure brought by his spiritual sense made Lu Yibin unable to move.

As Wei Zhong's consciousness continued to wander and search in his body, sweat gradually flowed from Lu Yibin's forehead. At the same time, his body trembled and he could hardly maintain his body shape.

Fortunately, Wei Zhong's investigation of him did not last long. After just a few breaths, he took his hand away from his wrist.

Lu Yibin suddenly felt relieved. He took a step back and touched his back, only to find that it was all soaked with sweat.

As Wei Zhong waved his hand, he quickly retreated behind Yu Xianglan, and then focused his eager gaze on Wei Zhong.

"Master Tiezhen, what happened?" Yu Xianglan asked with some concern.

Wei Zhong did not rush to answer, but thought for a moment before saying:
“My friend, your injury has damaged your body and your foundation.

The damage to the body is easy to deal with. All you need to do is take some nourishing spiritual objects, such as the second-level spiritual wine Qingluozui from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce or other mild second-level nourishing medicines, and you can recover in a few years.

The most difficult thing is the damage to your foundation. Your foundation is now like a square table with one leg broken, and is in danger.

If the fight lasts for a long time, there is even a risk of the foundation of Taoism collapsing and even death.

It is very difficult to maintain the late stage of foundation building now. It is very difficult to recover! "

Wei Zhong shook his head repeatedly.

Lu Yibin was stunned when he heard this: "I wanted to use all my skills to fight hard in this sect mission in order to seek hope. I didn't expect that even a long-term battle would be a sign of death in this state of body."

"Master, if you say it's difficult, that certainly does mean there is no solution. Master Tiezhen, please tell me frankly what we should do," Yu Xianglan said with a bow.

“The simplest method is to disperse your energy and start over. However, considering your bone age, your remaining life span will not allow you to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building again.

Then we can only look for elixirs and medicines to repair the foundation of the Tao. I do have a recipe for a elixir that can repair the foundation of the Tao, but it is missing a few key spiritual items. "

Hearing this, Lu Yibin's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened, and Yu Xianglan and Lin Muxue's faces were also filled with joy.

"Master Tiezhen, why don't you tell me what kind of spiritual object it is?"

"These spiritual objects are rare and uncommon. Even with your clan's strength, it may be difficult to gather them all."

Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Wei Zhong took out a jade slip and engraved the spiritual objects he needed.

"Third-level Xuanling Jade Liquid, thousand-year-old Jade Root Grass..."

After Yu Xianglan took the jade slip, she muttered, with a look of shock on her face:

"Could this elixir be of the third grade?"

"Of course. The pill for repairing the foundation of Taoism is not an ordinary thing. In terms of level, it is on par with the Dust-Reducing Pill. The spiritual objects required are naturally of the third level or above."

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, the three of them couldn't help but feel a headache.

The price of each third-level spiritual item is very high, starting at at least ten thousand spiritual stones.

Lu Yibin has spent most of his spirit stones on cultivation so far, and currently he has only accumulated seven or eight thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Even if you spend all your wealth, it is still not enough to buy any of the third-level spiritual objects.

Moreover, from what Master Tie Zhen said, these spiritual objects are not just ordinary third-level ones, but extremely rare and unconventional items.

Even the other party with Jindan cultivation and the identity of a third-level alchemist was not able to collect all the necessary information. With Lu Yibin's ability, it was definitely impossible for him to collect all the information.

He looked at Yu Xianglan for help.

The latter sighed:

“Master, I only recognize some of the spiritual objects recorded in this jade slip.

Among them, the thousand-year-old green root grass, I seem to have seen it in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It grows on the edge of a large lake, and is protected by a third-level crocodile monster.

As long as you kill it, you can get it, which is not difficult. But I have never heard of this Xuanling Jade Liquid, let alone where to find it. "

Wei Zhong was particularly surprised when he heard what the other party said. He didn't expect that the other party actually had information about one of the spiritual creatures.

I happened to have the spiritual object map given by Qi Yun, which contained clues to the third-level Xuanling Jade Liquid. The remaining auxiliary medicines were all a hundred years old. In the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, it should not be a problem to collect them all with the help of the Qingmu Sect. "It is very difficult to get clues to a thousand-year-old spiritual object. I believe that other spiritual objects can be slowly searched for in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range with the help of your sect's power.

However, if Fellow Daoist Yu wants this little friend Lu to have a chance to form a Jindan, he may need to hurry up."

The latter nodded upon hearing this.

After drinking the fragrant tea, Yu Xianglan asked Lin Muxue to lead the two of them to another room on the spirit boat for them to rest.

Wei Zhong set up a formation and asked Tan Tai Lin, "Can the source-boosting pill you mentioned really repair the damage to his foundation?"

“Humph, this elixir is originally used to repair the damaged elixir of Jindan cultivators, so it is no problem to heal this minor injury to the foundation of Taoism.

The medicinal power is so strong that even if you refine a useless pill, it will be enough to heal the injury."

Wei Zhong nodded upon hearing this.

"I have no doubt about the effect of the third-level elixir, but I am only worried that its medicinal power is too strong and will kill Lu Yibin."

As early as a few days ago, when Wei Zhong got the recipe for the Soul Summoning Pill from Qi Yun, he asked Tan Tai Lin, the knowledgeable Nascent Soul senior, for advice.

After some discussion, he not only learned about the birth environment of the spiritual object Xuanling Jade Liquid, but also obtained from him the recipe for the "Buyuan Pill" which used it as the main medicine.

Its function is to repair the true elixir in the body of a Jindan cultivator.

If it weren't for Tan Tai Lin's reminder just now, Wei Zhong would not have known that this pill could also work on the Taoist foundation of a cultivator who was in the process of establishing his foundation.

"Also, do you have a grudge against that person? Just check his injuries. Why do you have to use your own Jindan power to suppress him?"

Tan Tai Lin looked at Wei Zhong strangely and asked.

Wei Zhong would not admit it, he shook his head and replied calmly:
“Senior, you have misunderstood me. I have just been promoted to the Jindan stage, and I am unable to control my pressure freely.

Besides, if there was a grudge, I would have killed him long ago, so why would I reveal the efficacy of the elixir to save his life? "

"Humph!"

Tan Tai Lin obviously didn't believe what Wei Zhong said, but he didn't mean to ask any more questions. He went to the table, took out the spiritual tea and drank it by himself.

······
The spirit boat set out from Qingmu Sect and sailed for two days and two nights before reaching its destination.

Originally, with the speed of a third-level spirit boat, it would not take that long to travel from Qingmu Sect to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

However, there are not only Jindan cultivators on this trip. There are also first and second order spirit boats carrying foundation building and even Qi refining practitioners behind them.

In order to ensure the safety of the disciples of Qingmu Sect, the entire team moved slowly towards the Wanshou Mountain Range.

With such a huge fleet of spirit boats, no blind robber would dare to rob them.

Wei Zhong closed his eyes and meditated on the secret technique for an unidentified period of time. When he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

"Two seniors, we have arrived at our destination!"

Lin Muxue's voice came from outside the door. Wei Zhong stood up and left the room first, followed by Tan Tai Lin.

After getting out of the spirit boat, Wei Zhong immediately saw a stretch of towering mountains in the distance.

It is so vast that there is no visible end from south to north. There are dense forests in the mountains, and occasionally the sounds of beasts roaring and birds singing can be heard from them.

This was Wei Zhong's first time to come to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. He had only heard of it before, but now he had seen its shape.

At first glance from the outside, apart from its size, there is nothing special about it.

The spirit boat slowly landed on the ground from the sky, and Wei Zhong and the other person, led by Yu Xianglan, walked into a settlement.

"Aokibo?"

Wei Zhong muttered as he looked at the plaque outside.

Yu Xianglan explained:
“This market was established by our Qingmu Sect when we first came to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. It took several decades of development to reach its current size.

Its prosperity is no less than the Yunji Market in Mangyuan Prefecture."

Wei Zhong looked at the monks coming and going and nodded.

The number of monks walking among them is indeed many times more than that gathered in the market town.

Moreover, Wei Zhong not only met disciples of Qingmu Sect, but also quite a few independent cultivators, and even Qi-refining and even foundation-building cultivators from other forces.

It seems that the rich output in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range attracted these people here.

In the market, there are shops built with rocks and trees, as well as open-air stalls where people gather. The sound of hawking is endless, and the market is very lively.

Yu Xianglan led Wei Zhong and the other man to a remote courtyard, opened the gate and said:
"Please take a rest. Tomorrow, we will send a team that is familiar with the geographical environment to help you search the outer area of ​​the mountain."

After leaving these words, Yu Xianglan bowed and left.

The courtyard is not big, and Wei Zhong can still see the mountains in the distance from the top of the courtyard wall.

This place is some distance away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and should be a logistics location. There is also a front-line station of the Qingmu Sect in the mountains.

"Senior Tantai, are you going to stay here to practice, or are you going to go out for a walk?"

The latter shook his head:
"I, an old Taoist priest, will not go out and show my face. Maybe the incarnation of True Lord Xuehai is here, so I will not be discovered by him and alert him."

After saying this, he pushed open a door and walked inside...

"The incarnation of the True Lord of the Sea of ​​Blood? That makes some sense."

Wei Zhong did not forget the opponent's specialty. The ability to take over another person's body is unique and powerful in the cultivation world.

However, Wei Zhong did not worry about being exposed. Even if the Blood Sea Master was here, he would not easily attack. At most, Wei Zhong was noticed by the other party because he had the "blood line".

Moreover, Wei Zhong was personally very curious about the output of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Perhaps he could find one or two spiritual objects to enhance the great gold and nine colors within the cave.

After closing the gate, Wei Zhong headed towards the open-air stalls.

What's sold in the shops in this market are probably common things left behind after the Qingmu Sect looted. Wei Zhong has already exchanged enough spiritual medicines from Nie Yuansen, so he doesn't need to make another trip.

It’s better to go to the stalls and take a look, maybe you can find some bargains.

Wei Zhong concealed himself slightly until the late stage of foundation building, and then continued to check along the stalls.

During the travel, I actually found some rare things, such as some rare spiritual medicines that were hundreds of years old recorded in the recipe of the Soul Summoning Pill, and a second-level demon pill of the thunder attribute.

This kind of demon pill with exotic properties is rare. Wei Zhong spent five thousand low-grade spirit stones to buy it, intending to give it to Jiucai to refine to see if it could enhance its wind and thunder power.

After visiting a few more stalls, Wei Zhong suddenly saw a familiar face.

"I didn't expect to see someone familiar in this mountain range of beasts."

He was Wei Zhong’s former neighbor, Li Haowen, the head of the Li family.
