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

Chapter 119 News
Yunxia Island,
Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua sat in the courtyard, their eyes occasionally looking towards the pavilion where Wei Zhong was in seclusion.

Xie Linghua murmured:

"The master has just returned and he has gone into seclusion again. He is really diligent in his practice. I am far behind him."

When Xie Linghua said this, there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Ling Ziwei touched his wrist and knew what he was thinking.

Xie Linghua has been building her foundation for more than forty years, but has not yet reached the middle stage of foundation building.

One of the reasons is certainly due to limited qualifications, but with the support of such rich training resources provided by Wei Zhong, it also seems a bit inappropriate.

The early stage of foundation building is so difficult, what about the middle and late stages of foundation building?

I'm afraid I won't have the chance to reach the level of forming a pill even if I spend my entire life on it.

"Sister Ling'er, don't worry. Your husband doesn't judge people by their cultivation. The fact that he brought you from Mangyuan Prefecture to Luohe Prefecture is enough to show your deep love for you."

Ling Ziwei called Wei Zhong "husband", and it was obvious that the two were no longer just ordinary fellow Taoists.

After Wei Zhong returned from Mangyuan Mansion this time, he expressed his feelings to Ling Ziwei, and then went to the Ling family's land, and confirmed their status under the witness of his brother.

There was no grand banquet. Wei Zhong and the Ling family planned to keep the event small. They just invited a few close friends and had a banquet.

Wei Zhong then went into a long period of seclusion to rebuild his spiritual roots.

"Alas," Xie Linghua sighed, "I naturally know what the master means, but Ling'er is of low caliber and her cultivation progress is slow. I'm afraid she won't be able to accompany the master for much longer."

"Silly girl," Ling Ziwei pulled Xie Linghua into her arms.

At the same time, I was thinking about what he said.

Now Xie Linghua has more than a hundred years left to live, which seems exceptionally long compared to the lifespan of ordinary people.

But for practitioners, especially for Jindan cultivators like Ling Ziwei and Wei Zhong, it is only a small part of their lifespan.

If you want Xie Linghua to accompany Wei Zhong for a long time, you must find a way to improve her cultivation.

The method of making fake elixirs can only provide false cultivation and has no effect on prolonging one’s lifespan, so it is not included here.

"I wonder if the spiritual body method that my husband used before is useful?"

Ling Ziwei stared at the secret room where Wei Zhong was in seclusion, lost in thought.

"Whoa."

The door in front of him was pushed open, and a man in a green robe walked out. It was Wei Zhong who had completed his retreat.

"Husband!"

"master!"

When the two girls saw Wei Zhong coming out, they immediately surrounded him.

Wei Zhong opened his arms, picked them up one in each hand, and then sat them on the rattan chair in the yard.

"Why did the master come out of seclusion in just one year?" Xie Linghua asked curiously.

Wei Zhong laughed: "Isn't this because I miss you?"

Then he stretched his mouth to his neck, teasing him and making him laugh.

He turned around and did the same thing to Ling Ziwei.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I just used this period of time to practice a small secret method. Otherwise, how could this second-level spiritual land be enough for me to practice at the Jindan stage?"

"My husband, are you planning to rent a third-level spiritual land next?" Ling Ziwei whispered in Wei Zhong's ear.

Wei Zhong nodded.

'Although I have a cave, and there is a third-level top-level spiritual land inside it, but after all, I can't expose it to outsiders, so I have to find a spiritual land to hide it from others.

Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to outsiders when my cultivation level improves in the future.'

He held Ling Ziwei's delicate hand with his right hand: "Madam, have you chosen a habitat for us these days?"

The latter nodded with a slightly red face:

"I have indeed looked at some good third-level spiritual sites with Sister Ling'er these days, but my husband still needs to make a specific choice."

Wei Zhong put the two girls down and said, "In that case, let's go and take a look together."

Wei Zhong then called over Jiucai, who spread his wings and led everyone up.

Thanks to the large number of inner cores of wind-type monsters hunted by Wei Zhong, Jiucai's cultivation has made great progress during this period. He has already touched the threshold of the late second stage, and it won't take long for him to officially enter.

Sitting on its broad back, a layer of spiritual light condensed, shielding the three people from the strong wind.

While Wei Zhong was chatting with the two girls, he was looking inward.

After a year of seclusion, some unexpected events happened during this period that Wei Zhong did not expect, such as the fusion of the recreated water spiritual roots with the water spiritual roots that originally existed in his body.

But fortunately, the quality of the spiritual roots was finally improved.

Currently, Wei Zhong's water spiritual root has reached the top grade, and is the best of the best, and is only one step away from the earth grade spiritual root.

If he continues to retreat like this for a few more times, he will probably be able to develop earth-grade spiritual roots.

Once the spiritual roots are formed, the speed of cultivation will double and the bottleneck will be weakened.

There will never be a situation where you need to rely on tier-breaking elixirs to break through a small realm again.

The price he paid for this was nothing more than a Dust-Reducing Pill and the full power of his own life-saving magic weapon, the Yuanshui Pearl.

In this trip, Wei Zhong not only wanted to find a third-level spiritual land to rent, but also to find enough water-based spiritual objects to help the Yuanshuizhu restore its grade.

Currently without the protection of the Yuanshui Pearl, the defensive power of the [Black Water Spirit Clothes] has been greatly reduced, making Wei Zhong feel a little insecure.

······
The third-level spiritual land is already the most advanced spiritual land for cultivation in Luohe Prefecture, so naturally it is necessary to find Xu Xuan, the leader of the local Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

Riding on a large green-feathered bird, Wei Zhong and the two girls landed outside Yuelan City and flew to Yunji Tower.

As I stepped onto the second floor, I saw Xu Xuan waiting there.

As soon as he saw Wei Zhong, he came up to greet him enthusiastically:

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei was travelling far away. I didn't expect to see him again so soon."

"Haha, it's only been about two years..."

After chatting with him about some trivial matters, we got back to the main topic.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, it is indeed time for you to rent a third-tier spiritual land," Xu Xuan said as he looked up and glanced at the two women beside Wei Zhong.

Ling Ziwei replied: "Fellow Daoist Xuxuan, please show me the few spiritual places I saw a few days ago!"

Xu Xuan nodded, asked the maid beside him to take out a jade slip, and handed it to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong checked it with his spiritual sense for a moment and couldn't help but frowned.

Then he placed the jade slip on the table and considered it carefully.

There are not many spiritual places recorded in the jade slip, only eight, all of which were carefully selected by Ling Ziwei.

Among them, there are two third-grade lower-quality spiritual places. Although the locations are good, the grades are too low, so Wei Zhong did not consider them.

There are four medium-quality spiritual places, and their geographical locations are relatively average.

There were two other third-grade high-quality spiritual sites, but the environment nearby was even worse, and one of them was actually located in a deep mountain forest far away from the Luo River. Wei Zhong practiced water magic and refined the Yuanshui beads, which was inseparable from the big rivers, so he abandoned both of them.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you dissatisfied with these spiritual places?" Xu Xuan saw through Wei Zhong's thoughts.

Wei Zhong nodded in response. On the other hand, he was concerned about Ling Ziwei's thoughts, so he sent a message:
"The spiritual places my wife chose are not bad, but their grades are a bit low. You and I will eventually enter the late stage of Jindan, so we still have to choose a high-quality spiritual place."

Ling Ziwei also knew the reason, but there were not many choices in the third-level spiritual land of Luohe Mansion.

Although there are many spiritual land resources, they also require many Jindan cultivators. Most of the good spiritual lands are occupied by other cultivators or forces, and these are the only small spiritual lands that can be vacated that are worth looking at.

Hearing Wei Zhong's answer, Xu Xuan put down the teacup in his hand:

"If you are dissatisfied, why not come back in a few days?"

"Oh?" Wei Zhong showed a slightly puzzled expression.

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Recently, I have encountered some difficulties in Gang Palace. I plan to sell some of the spiritual land to our Chamber of Commerce. There may be an option that Fellow Daoist Wei likes."

"Zhigang Palace?"

Wei Zhong has not forgotten this sect, and he has been determined to follow its signature body-refining method for a long time.

"But Luohe Prefecture has been peaceful for so many years. What kind of trouble has Zhigang Palace encountered?"

"Could Fellow Daoist Xu Xuan explain it in detail?"

Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua beside him also showed some expectant expressions.

"It's not a secret, so I'll tell you about it."

“A few years ago, the Zhigang Palace seemed to have discovered a secret realm somewhere, so Palace Master Song Linfang led two Jindan elders and dozens of foundation-building disciples to explore.

But less than a year later, things turned around in disgrace.

The two Jindan elders were all killed, and among the foundation-building disciples, only two who stayed outside the secret realm survived.

Although the Palace Master Song Linfang escaped death, she was also seriously injured. She was only able to return to the sect under the escort of two foundation-building disciples. "

"This," Wei Zhong did not expect that such an accident would happen in the once prosperous Zhigang Palace.

During one exploration of a secret realm, they lost half of their high-level combat forces, and even the palace master Song Linfang was seriously injured.

Seeing Wei Zhong's disbelief, Xu Xuan added:

"Currently, this news has been circulated in the outside world. Fellow Daoist Wei will be able to find out the truth if he makes careful inquiries."

"The Zhigang Palace has recently been selling off its assets in an attempt to exchange them for spirit stones, which they can then go to Yunzhou City to buy healing treasures."

"Fellow Daoist Xu Xuan is a third-level alchemist, so is he helpless in curing his injuries?"

Xu Xuan shook his head:
"Although my alchemy skills have reached the third level, I do not know everything about the injuries of Jindan cultivators, not to mention that this is the extremely troublesome damage to the true elixir."

"Did Zhendan get hurt?"

"Yes, the True Pill is formed by the condensed practice of a Jindan cultivator. Being injured here is tantamount to cutting off the path of cultivation.

It can be said that it is already very good that he did not die because of the shattering of the true pill, let alone repairing it..."

Xu Xuan kept shaking his head.

Ling Ziwei, as a Jindan cultivator, also knew how troublesome this kind of injury was and sighed.

Wei Zhong's heart was slightly moved.

"The damage to the real elixir? Isn't the Buyuan elixir in my hand the right medicine?"

"However, considering that he is a physical cultivator, I have to see his injuries to determine whether this source-boosting pill is useful or not."

"Does Daoist Fellow Xu Xuan know what kind of secret realm Zhigang Palace discovered that is so dangerous?"

Xu Xuan shook his head:

"The Zhigang Palace is very secretive about this, and the outside world can't get any information about the secret realm at all."

After hearing this, Wei Zhong stopped asking questions. The secret realm that could cause the entire Zhigang Palace to fall flat on its face must be extremely dangerous.

With Wei Zhong's current level of cultivation, he does not have the capital to profit from it.

After negotiating with Xu Xuan for a while, Wei Zhong purchased many spiritual objects at the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, especially various third-level water-based spiritual objects.

Then he left with Xie and Ling.

Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to go to Gang Palace to show his ability to heal the injuries of the Jindan stage.

"Since Song Linfang has found Xu Xuan, a third-level alchemist, there is no way she would not come to look for me."

Now, as long as Wei Zhong spreads the news of his return, the other party will naturally come to him.

Only after the other party took the initiative to ask for help did Wei Zhong put forward his own request.

After a tour around Yunlan City, Wei Zhonghao spent tens of thousands of spirit stones and purchased a large number of water-based spiritual objects.

'These are all the nutrients for the Yuanshui beads to upgrade their grades, and are also needed to further improve one's own spiritual roots.'

This time, Wei Zhong openly revealed his true appearance and identity, on the one hand, to let Zhigang Palace know about him.

On the other hand, Wei Zhong’s current Jindan level of cultivation is enough to support the tens of thousands of spirit stones.

After the acquisition was completed, Wei Zhong took Ling Ziwei and his two daughters back to Yunxia Island.

Now that Ling Ziwei and Wei Zhong have established a relationship, they will naturally live on the main island.

After being intimate with the two of them, Xie Linghua fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. Only Ling Ziwei was staring at Wei Zhong lovingly.

Another upheaval...

Afterwards, Ling Ziwei sat in Wei Zhong's arms and said:
"My husband, do you have any way to improve her talent? My sister Ling'er's cultivation has come to a standstill. I'm afraid she won't be able to achieve the great path of forming a pill in this lifetime."

After hearing this, Wei Zhong was silent for a moment.

'Xie Linghua and I both have the same shabby qualifications of low-grade spiritual roots, and the skills she practices are ordinary, so it is very difficult for her to advance to the foundation-building stage.

I had no hope of forming the elixir after that, so I found a secret method to refine the fake elixir for him.

Now that I have discovered a method suitable for recreating my spiritual roots from the secret method recorded in the Blood Spirit Scripture, the situation has taken a turn for the better.'

Seeing Wei Zhong lost in thought, Ling Ziwei asked:
"I wonder if the heavy water spirit body method that my husband has practiced can be applied to Sister Ling'er?"

Wei Zhong shook his head and told Ling Ziwei the part of the secret method that he could.

The latter was immediately shocked and hugged Wei Zhongyan and said:
"My husband has suffered. I didn't expect that the forging of the spirit body would have to go through such pain."

Wei Zhong felt a little guilty. In fact, when he was forging his spiritual body, he only tasted some pain at the beginning when he didn't know how to do it. But later on, he relied on the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" and the casting of the spiritual body was very smooth.

Considering the two secret methods he had in his hands, namely, soul casting and soul root reconstruction, Wei Zhong decided to try the second method to help improve his qualifications.

'The Thousand Spirit Water Stone is hard to find. Even if you refine it into a spiritual body, it is only equivalent to a mid-grade spiritual root. The Ten Thousand Spirit Water Stone has disappeared without a trace, so there is no way for the spiritual body to be promoted.

It would be better to reshape the spiritual roots. As long as one improves it based on one's own experience, it can be applied to one's own body.

It is not necessary to limit it to the middle-grade spiritual roots, the upper-grade spiritual roots and even the lower-grade spiritual roots also have hope.'

Thinking of this, Wei Zhong looked at Ling Ziwei in his arms again. The other party also had only upper-grade spiritual roots. If she could use this method to improve to the earth grade, her hope of condensing the infant would be much greater.
