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

Chapter 107 Blood Body

It has only been seventy or eighty years since Wei Zhong left Mangyuan Prefecture, but Li Haowen's face already looks a bit old.

If you count carefully, the other party is much younger than Wei Zhong.

He successfully established his foundation at the age of over ninety, and is only one hundred and seventy years old.

Compared to the 240-year lifespan required to build the foundation, there is still a lot of time to live.

But at this moment, Wei Zhong clearly saw the dark twilight on him.

"Is this because of the injury? Has his life span been shortened?"

Realizing that someone was looking at him, Li Haowen looked up and saw Wei Zhong wearing a black iron mask.

Sensing the other party's power, Li Haowen knew that this was a senior whom he could not afford to offend.

"Senior, is there anything you like in my stall?"

Wei Zhong walked over, picked up something on the stall and took a look at it.

With Wei Zhong's realm and financial resources, he naturally looked down on the property of this cultivator in the early stage of foundation building. He just held the things and chatted with him casually.

"Fellow Daoist, you seem to be a frequent visitor to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range?"

Most of the items on the stalls were monster bones and spiritual medicines, as well as a few second-level monster pills and some miscellaneous items.

"That's right. I don't have any special skills, but my cultivation is worthwhile, so I came to explore the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to supplement my family's expenses."

"Oh, fellow Daoist, if you work so hard, aren't you afraid that your family will become completely weakened after losing you, a foundation-building person? From what I have seen, fellow Daoist's foundation is damaged, and his life span is short. You probably don't have many years left."

Li Haowen saw that Wei Zhong had revealed everything. He was not horrified at all. Instead, he said with a broad mind:
"Haha, senior, you have a keen eye. I have indeed damaged my foundation and don't have many years left to live. In the past few years, I have barely been able to maintain my foundation.

Fortunately, my nephews and nephews are quite promising, and two of them have established their foundation.

Plus, I have my foundation-building disciples to help me, so an old guy like me doesn’t have to worry about family affairs.”

"So that's how it is!" Wei Zhong understood in his heart, knowing that with his support, the Li family had gotten rid of its previous weakness and officially established its foothold in Mangyuan Prefecture.

'There is also the opponent's disciple, probably that girl He, I wonder if she has become a Taoist partner with Jiaqi.'

In order to avoid exposing his identity, Wei Zhong did not go to Yunji Market to meet him this time. If he had done so, he could have gone back to take a look.

Wei Zhong pondered and casually pointed at a few second-level spiritual medicines and magic pills on the stall.

"Pack these up for me."

Li Haowen knew he had met a big customer, so he quickly packed the things in a cloth bag, counted them, and said:
"The total is 6,730 spirit stones. Senior, just give 6,700."

Wei Zhong took out the spirit stone and placed it on the stall. After Li Haowen took a look at it, he quickly put it away, as if he was afraid that it would be snatched away if he kept it for a little longer.

"The number of spirit stones is correct. Senior, take care."

Wei Zhong put the cloth bag back into the cave and then left.

The former friend was not doing badly. Although his foundation was damaged and he didn't have many years to live, he managed to support the Li family.

When the Li family had no foundation to guard it and was in a precarious situation, he stepped forward and successfully built the foundation, and led the family to survive tenaciously in the Qingmu Sect and the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

After experiencing decades of great disasters between good and evil, he worked hard to ensure the survival of the Li family.

As a disciple of the Li family, Li Haowen is very satisfied at this moment and has no regrets.

My only thought now is to make use of this broken body to accumulate some foundation for the family.

Wei Zhong walked along the open-air stalls step by step, examining the various spiritual objects on the stalls.

······
After browsing through them, he ended up buying a few hundred-year-old exotic spiritual herbs and a few second-level exotic demon pills.

As for the third-level spiritual objects, there is naturally no chance for them to appear in this small stall.

Wei Zhong left with great satisfaction, but his spiritual sense immediately detected several people following him.

'The public security in Qingmufang is still not as good as that in Yunjifang Market!'

Wei Zhong muttered in his heart.

However, considering the complex population here, there are bound to be desperate criminals, and there will indeed be many robbers who are willing to take risks.

Wei Zhong had no intention of getting rid of them, and he slowly walked into a remote forest.

In the forest, Wei Zhong stopped, turned his head and looked behind him, and said loudly:
"My fellow Taoists have followed me here. Do you dare to come out and see me?"

Two figures gradually emerged in the forest, one dressed in a black gown and the other in a white robe.

They are all in the late stage of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I saw this person spend at least ten thousand spirit stones on the stall.

His wealth is probably far beyond that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. If you and I can take him down, I'm afraid we won't have to worry about the resources for forming a pill."

Looking at Wei Zhong, the Taoist in white robe said with a smile.

The black-robed Taoist also looked excited:
"Fellow Daoist, you may as well leave your property behind, so that my two brothers will not hurt you."

Wei Zhong sneered: "Two little foundation-building people dare to say such arrogant words."

Wei Zhong roared angrily, and his Jindan consciousness spread out, rushing straight towards the two of them and a rock behind them.

"Dajiandan Daxiu!"

The two were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and said, "Please spare our lives, please spare our lives!"

Wei Zhong ignored them, controlled the Cloud-Flying Technique and stepped over the two of them, condensed the golden flame in his hand and shot it forward.

A figure emerged from behind the rocks, holding up a blue crystal shield in his hand, facing the golden flame, and speaking repeatedly:

"My friend, you misunderstood me, misunderstood me!"

Wei Zhong ignored him, the Xuanming Sword appeared in his hand, and a white sword energy slashed towards the opponent.

"You've followed me this far and you still dare to say it's a misunderstanding?"

Wei Zhong naturally didn't believe it, so he smashed his shield to pieces with one sword.

The latter could not withstand Wei Zhong's might and flew into the air.

"I just can't bear to see the evildoers committing crimes, so I came here to help you. Don't be ungrateful."

Wei Zhong still had no intention of explaining. He followed the other party closely, and several golden-red fireballs condensed and ignited in his hands.

At the same time, black liquid emerged in front of him and gradually condensed into a black armor.

······
This commotion eventually attracted the law enforcers from Qingmufang, but as a disciple of Qingmu Sect who was in the late foundation building stage, he saw that two Jindan seniors were fighting in the air and did not dare to intervene. He activated his sword and went to notify the higher-ups in the sect.

Such a huge momentum also caused the market town to boil, and the battle of Jindan in the sky made the cultivators below panic.

"Why are there two Jindan seniors fighting here?"

"The battle between the gods has brought disaster to the fish pond. You better leave this Qingmufang as soon as possible!"

Seeing the fight for the Jindan stage breaking out, the cultivators in the area, especially the independent cultivators and those from other forces, hurriedly left the area.

Only the members of the Qingmu Sect were still maintaining order in the market town.

This Qingmufang is the property of the Qingmu Sect. These people are here on a mission from the sect. If there is any loss, not only will they not get any contribution points, they may even be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall.

The man in the air became more and more frightened as he fought with Wei Zhong.

"This kid hides his skills and is so skilled in fighting. I really can't do anything with my skills." During the fight, his eyes kept wandering, looking at the small bottle-shaped blood jade pendant on Wei Zhong's waist.

Wei Zhong fought more and more fiercely. Just now in the forest, there was a slight movement of the blood on his waist, which Wei Zhong keenly noticed.

Wei Zhong could almost assert that the person in front of him was definitely related to True Lord Blood Sea, and was most likely one of True Lord Blood Sea's Jindan clones.

"But the Qingmu Sect is still too slow. I have fought with them for dozens of rounds, but why haven't we seen the Jindan appear to maintain order in the market?"

Wei Zhong didn't think he could defeat or capture him with just this little trick.

The opponent had not used his blood cultivation skills in the fight so far, and was dealing with Wei Zhong with a glimmer of hope.

It would be troublesome if we really forced the other party to expose himself.

"Fellow Daoist, I am here to help you out with good intentions, why are you attacking me?"

"Humph, you old thing, you must be the same as those two robbery cultivators, coveting my property. You are simply courting death."

Wei Zhong's tone was firm, which made him very angry.

He pointed at Wei Zhong's nose angrily and said, "You are really, outrageous. Wait for Fellow Daoist Lian to come and let him judge for himself."

Wei Zhong naturally knew that the other party was talking about Lian Chengjue, the Grand Elder of Qingmu Sect who was in the late Jindan stage, but he sneered in his heart at the same time.

"You are still full of drama, old man. If the disciples of Qingmu Sect come, I will see how you can escape."

The two fought fiercely for a while, and then two lights, one black and one blue, streaked across the sky, revealing figures. They were master and disciple Nie Yuansen and Yao Zhengsheng.

Seeing Wei Zhong fighting with a Jindan cultivator, he was shocked and said:
"Why did Fellow Daoist Tiezhen fight with Fellow Daoist Xue?"

Wei Zhong retreated after the attack and said angrily: "This old man wanted to rob me, but he refused to admit it after I saw through him."

At the same time, he secretly sent a message to Nie Yuansen to explain the reason.

When Nie Yuansen learned the truth, he instantly felt a cold sweat on his back.

"My archenemy is actually hiding beside me?"

He calmed himself down and looked at the two people who were arguing.

Xue Kai was furious when he heard Wei Zhong complain first: "You are talking nonsense."

Then he said to Nie Yuansen: "I have been in Qingmufang for more than ten years. You know what it means to be a human being, Fellow Daoist Nie.

Why would I, old Taoist, rob a fellow Jindan Taoist?"

"Humph, old man, you just see that I'm wealthy..."

"Alright, alright. I will find out what is right and wrong. You two fellow Taoists should stop and take a break."

Nie Yuansen waved his hand to lead Yao Zhengsheng to Wei Zhong, and then fled towards Xue Kai.

"Fellow Daoist Xue, please don't be angry. Let's go down and talk."

Xue Kai's expression brightened a little when he heard Nie Yuansen's words:
“That’s it…”

Suddenly, a green light burst out from his chest and abdomen, piercing his heart meridian and blocking the flow of spiritual energy in his body.

Xue Kai looked at Nie Yuansen in disbelief: "You?"

However, his spiritual sense sensed that there were two more black streaks rushing towards him. He immediately realized that he could not hide anymore, so he roared angrily, and a ball of blood light burst out around him, forcing Nie Yuansen to retreat.

The magic swords wielded by Wei Zhong and Yao Zhengsheng stopped moving as soon as they pierced the blood light, and their spiritual consciousness also noticed that the connection with the magic swords was becoming increasingly vague.

"not good!"

Wei Zhong changed his finger gestures and forcibly took back the Xuanming Sword, and Yao Zhengsheng did the same.

Nie Yuansen in front was slightly forced back by the blood light, and he couldn't help but be shocked. This person turned out to be a spy from the Blood Sea.

The movements of his hands were not slow at all. A green light emerged from his fingertips and pierced directly into Xue Kai's body which was covered in blood.

After the green light passed through the blood light shield, its speed continued to slow down, and was finally dispersed by Xue Kai's hand.

He looked at the people around him with a very ugly expression.

'I just sensed my own blood aura, so I followed to check.

Seeing that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator holding his two blood lines, he felt a little strange. He never thought that it was a Core Forming cultivator with a hidden identity.

This Ji Dan was very cunning. He insisted that I robbed him, which made me careless.

Thinking that it is not easy to maintain this identity, I choose to continue hiding.

I thought that when the people from the Aoki Sect arrived, I would be able to clear myself of the grievances based on my experience of living with them for more than ten years.

But he didn't expect that Nie Yuansen would listen to the words of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan and attack him directly.

Am I exposed?'

Xue Hai couldn't understand no matter what, how a small cultivator in the early stage of Jindan could capture his own blood line and use it to find his own blood body.

Wei Zhong looked at Xue Kai who was covered in blood with a slightly condensed expression. This blood-colored light shield could actually resist attacks from the late stage of the Jiedan realm.

At the same time, granulation tissue was seen gathering on his body, as if he was recovering from the heart injury caused by Nie Yuansen's attack just now.

Wei Zhong knew that he could not delay any longer.

"You two, we must use all our strength to capture it. We must not delay any longer."

Wei Zhong transmitted the message to Nie Yuansen and Yao Zhengsheng.

The two explained and nodded, holding the magic sword tightly in their hands.

In order to hide, Tan Tai Lin will not take action for this Jindan clone, so naturally Wei Zhong needs to join forces with Qing Mu Zong and others to capture it.

Wei Zhong directly grabbed the black ball with his hand and used his trump card.

A beam of black light penetrated directly into the blood-colored light shield and rushed towards Xue Kai without any delay.

The latter's face changed drastically when he saw this. He no longer bothered to continue repairing his heart meridian. The blood in his hand continued to condense and formed a thick blood-red shield.

The black ball hit the blood shield, causing ripples. The two were in a stalemate for only a moment before the black ball broke it completely.

The blood-red light shield covering the surroundings also disappeared in an instant.

Xue Kai appeared aside with a grim look on his face.

'I gathered all the defensive power of my True Blood Shield, but I still couldn't defend against this attack.'

Then he looked at Wei Zhong, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

'This child must not be allowed to stay!'

This flying technique also scared Nie Yuansen and Yao Zhengsheng.

Nie Yuansen had never thought that an alchemist could have such a powerful attack method, which was even more powerful than his own Qingguang. The other party's cultivation level was two small realms lower than his own.

Yao Zhengsheng was even more frightened. Fortunately, he did not accept the challenge at the beginning. If the other party had used this trick, he would have no chance of resisting.

In all likelihood, the outcome will be a defeat, during which time you will be injured and lose face.

If he were defeated by an early Jindan cultivator whose cultivation level was lower than his, his position as the sect leader would probably be unstable.

Wei Zhong took back the black ball and said in a loud voice:
"What are you two Daoists waiting for? Quickly capture this thief."
