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

Chapter 112 Wolf Tracks
Wei Zhong looked puzzled: "Senior, I wonder what this is?"

Tan Tai Lin talks freely:

"The sting of the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee contains a strange poison that can stiffen a cultivator's body and block the flow of spiritual energy. One positive and one negative, there must be an antidote to this strange poison in the bee colony."

Then he threw what he had in his hand:

“This is the detoxifying substance, which practitioners like me call bee treasure.

Of course, its functions are not limited to this. It can be combined with other spiritual herbs to refine a second-level detoxification pill, which can detoxify hundreds of second-level poisons and curb the spread of high-level toxins.

It can even be used as the main ingredient to refine a secret medicine that has the ability to clear the spiritual meridians, and can increase the speed at which cultivators mobilize their spiritual energy to a certain extent, greatly reducing the time it takes to cast spells."

Wei Zhong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that such a magical thing would be produced in the nest of the Soul-Eating Ghost Bee.

"I wonder if you have the formula for the detoxification pill and secret medicine?"

Tan Tai Lin laughed:
"You really think I know everything. I have been practicing for these years just to improve my cultivation. I only know a few of the various arts.

If you want the specific formula, why not go to some market to ask, or go to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Zhong felt a little regretful, and he also understood that what Tan Tai Lin said was almost right. After spending some time with him, he realized that the other party was not good at practicing the arts.

It is extremely precious to have the means to refine Guiyuan Pill and Buyuan Pill in hand, and it is probably impossible to know more.

Tan Tai Lin handed the bee treasure to Wei Zhong and said, "This item is too low-level and useless to me, so you can keep it for yourself.

Besides, now that you have captured the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee Queen, it is time for us to continue on our journey."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong looked at the queen bee. Its head was dark, and it really did look a bit scary upon closer inspection. No wonder it was given the name ghost bee.

Ordering them to recall all the spirit bees that had gone out, Wei Zhong used the Xuanming Sword to cut off large pieces of rocks along the mountain peak, and collected them together with the beehives in the cave.

Tan Tai Lin thought that Wei Zhong was using the spirit beast bag.

Wei Zhong did not stop and collected the large number of returning spirit bees one after another.

Before leaving, Wei Zhong even dug up the large flower fields at the foot of the mountain along with the soil underneath and put them into the cave.

Ling Jinmei found a spiritual field in the cave and planted some seeds there, then placed the beehive aside.

There is a third-level spiritual vein in the cave. The concentration of spiritual energy is much higher than the area where the Soul-Eating Ghost Bee previously lived, and it is more suitable for the survival of these spiritual flowers.

It can greatly shorten its flowering period. In this way, the spiritual bees will no longer need to go out to collect spiritual honey. The flower fields in the cave will be enough.

As a queen bee at the peak of the second level, she may even have the opportunity to be promoted to the third level in a short period of time.

Seeing Wei Zhong's behavior, Tan Tai Lin couldn't help but laugh:

"Why did you dig up this large area of ​​low-level flower fields? If you want to use these spiritual flowers to cultivate the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee, why not find one or two high-level spiritual flowers in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range? That would be enough to help the Queen Bee break through."

Wei Zhong explained:
"It makes sense that these soul-eating ghost bees live near this flower field. Maybe the soul bees like this.

Moreover, high-level spiritual flowers are rare and not everywhere. It would be very good to dig up this flower field and make up for the quality with quantity."

After hearing this explanation, Tan Tai Lin did not refute. The two of them flew all the way back to the place they had just left.

Yu Xianglan and her group were waiting there. Wei Zhong looked at the several soul-eating ghost bees in the air and waved his sleeves to take them into the cave.

Ever since Wei Zhong used the True Seal Technique to control the queen bee, he also has a certain degree of control over these subordinate worker bees and can barely control their actions.

Seeing Wei Zhong's actions of taming the spirit bee, Yu Xianglan also understood that this fellow Taoist Tie Zhen had already tamed the Soul-Eating Ghost Bee Queen.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Tiezhen for getting a helping hand."

There was a hint of envy in Yu Xianglan's eyes.

Naturally, everyone in Qingmu Sect was jealous of this group of spirit bees headed by the second level, and even several Jindan Zhenren were not surprised.

The main reason why it could not be subdued was the lack of the corresponding method to control it.

For this type of spiritual insects that gather in groups, ordinary spells for controlling spiritual beasts are no longer effective, and advanced methods are required.

The "True Seal Treasure Secret" in Wei Zhong's hand is one of them.

Yu Xianglan was naturally envious of this.

With this spirit bee in hand, Wei Zhong could destroy a large group of second-order wind wolves without any destructive effort.

These agile swarms of bees are the nemesis of those huge wolf monsters.

"That's it, let's move on."

After hearing Wei Zhong's words, the group shifted their attention away from Wei Zhong's taming of the spirit bee.

As Wei Zhong walked, he began to familiarize himself with the spirit bee in his hand.

The spirit bee colony is headed by the queen bee, who is at the peak of the second stage. Below her are drones and worker bees, all of which are also at the second stage. There are roughly dozens of drones, and most of them are at the primary stage of the second stage.

As for the worker bees, they are all of the first class, numbering about a thousand.

Wei Zhong probed into the cave with his spiritual sense and looked at the Soul-Eating Ghost Bees that were adapting to the new gathering place. He was shocked. A team of this size could easily challenge ordinary Jindan cultivators.

No wonder it has been able to stay here for so long without being captured by the Aoki Sect.

Jin Mei on the side was a little scared when looking at these little things and didn't dare to step forward.

As a third-level demon monkey, it seems that he dare not provoke this group of soul-eating ghost bees, not to mention Jiucai and Dajin.

The nine-colored feet stood on the courtyard wall, with no intention of approaching the spiritual field where the spiritual bees were.

In the pool below, Da Jin was also watching the buzzing sound of the bees from afar.

Even if one or two of them flew over the pond to collect nectar from the white jade lotus, no one tried to drive them away, but let them do what they wanted.

Upon seeing this, Wei Zhong ordered the queen bee not to approach the courtyard or the pond near it.

I was worried that these three spirit beasts would fight with the spirit bees because of some minor friction. Jiucai and Dajin were no match for this group of spirit bees.

In addition, the flower fields transplanted into the cave by Wei Zhong, under the nourishment of the third-level spiritual veins, blossomed with various flowers in a short period of time.

The abundant spiritual energy is enough to keep this flower field in bloom all year round and provide for the survival and consumption of the spiritual bee colony.

Queen Bee's advancement is just around the corner.

Seeing that no accidents occurred in the cave, Wei Zhong withdrew his spiritual sense from the cave and explored the surroundings.

The surrounding scenery has changed a little, from dense woods to various short bushes.

Yu Xianglan pointed to the hillside of the mountain ahead and said:
"The Yunshui Gorge is on the mountainside ahead, and the winding mountain road is just beyond this mountain."

Wei Zhong looked at the mountains covered with green vegetation in front of him, thinking about the map given to him by Qi Yun.

'According to the records on the map, the Mysterious Jade Liquid is located in a mountain cave, in which there are two white jade spider monsters, a male and a female, living, one in the early third stage and the other in the middle stage.

Qi Yun advised that it is best to avoid this monster when taking the spiritual liquid, because the cave is the home of the white jade spider and is not suitable for cultivators to perform.'

"But I don't need to worry about this. It's just a mid- to high-level third-level monster."

As Wei Zhong was walking, he suddenly heard Tan Tai Lin's voice transmission:

"Wei boy, something is wrong. There are wind wolves near Yunshui Gorge."

Wei Zhong was stunned when he heard this. Generally speaking, the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range have extremely strict territorial awareness.

There was a reason why the wind wolves were divided into three groups to survive independently. How did the wind wolves come to the White Jade Spider's territory? After walking for only a moment, Wei Zhong and Yu Xianglan's consciousness also detected a slight difference.

There were quite a few wind wolves on the mountainside, most of them were level one or two, wandering around, seemingly on guard of their surroundings.

Wei Zhong looked even more confused when he saw this.

"Could it be that this Wind Wolf has conquered Yunshuijian?"

Wei Zhong looked at Yu Xianglan who was standing beside him and asked through voice transmission:
"Fellow Daoist Yu, have you heard before that the wind wolves on this winding mountain road have invaded other monsters' territories?"

The latter shook his head slightly:
"I've never heard of it. Although wind wolves occasionally go out hunting, they rarely occupy territory. Moreover, the terrain of Yunshuijian is not suitable for wind wolves to survive."

'That's strange.'

Wei Zhong extended his spiritual sense forward, staring closely at a cave on the mountainside.

It is where the white jade spider lives and where the Xuanling Jade Liquid is produced.

When the foundation-building monks in the team saw the leader in front stop, they immediately stood up alertly and clenched their magic weapons.

Lu Yibin volunteered, stepped forward, clenched his fist and asked Yu Xianglan:

"Palace Master Yu, there is something strange happening ahead. Do you need us to go and investigate?"

Yu Xianglan looked at Wei Zhong when she heard this, and only after seeing Wei Zhong nod did she turn around and answer:

"There are wind wolves appearing in the Yunshui Stream ahead, and there are some second-level ones. You should be led by a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage and divide into several teams to conduct exploration around the Yunshui Stream. Do not go too deep and be alert to the presence of third-level wind wolves."

"Yes!"

Lu Yibin didn't know why there were wind wolves in the Yunshui Gorge, nor did he know whether this would have any impact on the sect's ability to resist the wind wolves' attack.

At this moment, he could only do his best to help the palace master and the other Jindan masters to find out the situation ahead.

Soon, after some information exchange, the foundation-building team of more than 20 people was divided into several groups and flew forward.

Wei Zhong used his spiritual sense to detect that everyone had activated the Breath-Suppressing Talisman in their hands, and he nodded involuntarily.

"It seems that the Qingmu Sect is well prepared for this and will not let such a large number of disciples and elders go to die."

Wei Zhong then sent a message to Tan Tai Lin and Yu Xianglan: "I will go and check it out as well."

Tan Tai Lin nodded. He had witnessed Wei Zhong's ability to conceal his breath before, so naturally he had no doubts.

However, Yu Xianglan was not very confident in Wei Zhong, so she advised him and asked to go with him.

In addition to exploring, Wei Zhong also wanted to take the treasures in the cave, so naturally he would not take it with him.

Senior Tan Tai, who had asked them to accompany him and was not in a position to take action, used the technique of concealing his breath and becoming invisible to disappear in front of the two of them.

Yu Xianglan was stunned when she saw this, and then her face turned into one of horror.

"Such a terrifying hidden method. Fortunately, the sect has not become an enemy of these two, otherwise..."

Although Tan Tai Lin's expression remained calm, a hint of emotion still flashed across his eyes.

'This technique of concealing one's breath and becoming invisible is truly extraordinary.'

Wei Zhong flew alone, overtaking many foundation-building cultivators who had just set out. Then he passed through several second-order wind wolves and walked directly into the cave.

The cave was not big, only enough for a few people to pass through. Moreover, the cave wall was not made of ordinary rock, but was extremely hard, so even using magic tools would take a lot of effort to cut it.

There is no such time during a fight. No wonder Qi Yun once said not to fight with the male and female white jade spiders in the cave.

Wei Zhong went deeper into the cave. The road was rugged and winding, but Wei Zhong could still barely feel that he was going down.

Suddenly, Wei Zhong smelled a slight smell of blood in the air. His spiritual sense spread out and he only saw mottled bloodstains, but no trace of any monsters.

When Wei Zhong arrived, he carefully checked the bloodstains in the cave and found that they were spread all over a large area of ​​the cave, as if a great battle had taken place here not long ago.

Upon closer inspection, there were traces of wolf licking on the bloodstains.

"The battle between the Wind Wolf and the White Jade Spider?"

Wei Zhong continued to go deeper into the cave, while his spiritual sense probed forward.

Wei Zhong didn't care who won the battle between the White Jade Spider and the Wind Wolf. All he cared about was the Xuanling Jade Liquid.

As they continued to descend, many forks appeared in the cave ahead. Wei Zhong continued forward in the direction pointed out by Qi Yun and finally entered a cave.

There are glowing stalactites around the cliff here, which make the cave quite bright.

Wei Zhong moved forward in one direction and found a pool of spring water in the cave. There were drops of water falling from the top of the spring water, falling into the pool and causing echoes in the cave.

Wei Zhong was about to cross the pool and continue forward, but he stopped halfway and turned back again.

The spiritual power condensed into a big hand, which fished out a large white jade egg from the depths of the pool.

"Could this be the egg of the white jade spider?"

Wei Zhong looked puzzled.

"Could it be that the White Jade Spider knew it was no match for the Wind Wolf, so it hid its offspring here?"

Wei Zhong held the jade egg in his hands and examined it carefully. He could feel the rhythm of life within it.

'Still alive.'

Wei Zhong waved his hand to take it, already thinking about selling it later.

Wei Zhong is not a pet master, so he cannot breed a spiritual beast from eggs, let alone a spider like the white jade spider, which has no special features.

After running all the way, they finally stopped at a rock wall.

After digging up a rock, they discovered the jade-colored spiritual liquid underneath.

"What Qi Yun said is indeed true."

Some small holes can be seen on the rock, which appear to be the traces left by the white jade spider when it took the spiritual liquid.

Wei Zhong took out the third-level spiritual liquid, but there were only ten drops in total, which could not even fill a small jade bottle.

But it is probably enough for ten times of alchemy.

Wei Zhong covered this place again. It was better not to destroy the foundation of such a place where spiritual objects of heaven and earth were formed, so that it could be taken again if needed in the future.

The purpose of this trip has been accomplished. Wei Zhong also learned that there was a fight between the White Jade Spider and the Wind Wolf here, and the White Jade Spider probably ended up losing.

Wei Zhong packed up and put it back along the same path.

When I returned to the team, I found that most of the foundation-building people had already returned.

Seeing Wei Zhong turn around, Yu Xianglan immediately bowed and said:

“Fellow Daoist Tiezhen, the White Jade Spider Monster here has been killed by the Wind Wolves, and even its corpse has been dragged away by the Wind Wolves.”

"Sure enough!"

Wei Zhong took out the white jade spider eggs:
"I saw traces of a fight between monsters in the cave, and found this beast egg. It's probably similar to what Daoist Fellow Yu said."
