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

Chapter 122 Wonderful Method
On the way out, Wei Zhong noticed that someone was spying on him, but he didn't care.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, it has no effect on Wei Zhong.

'I wonder if someone will rob and kill me because they see that I am generous and my cultivation is average.'

Wei Zhong had not encountered a robbery or murder by cultivators for many years, and he even had a small expectation for how things would develop next.

However, when Wei Zhong moved away from the Gang Palace, the spying was quickly withdrawn, which made Wei Zhong very disappointed.

Without any intention of turning back to catch him, Wei Zhong fled directly towards Yunxia Island.

Now that the skills and the spiritual land have been acquired, it is time to start the relocation process.

When the escaping light landed on Yunxia Island, Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua immediately surrounded it.

"Husband, is it done?"

Wei Zhong smiled and said, "As long as I take action, it will be easy to catch him."

Both of them smiled with joy.

Wei Zhong then said:
"Pass the order down and start the relocation of Lingdao. It's time for us to move to a new home."

······
Yunxia Island is not very big, and there are not many spiritual works and outputs on the island.

Under Wei Zhong's orders, large numbers of spiritual creatures were transplanted or harvested by his subordinates.

Although there were still several decades left in the lease of Yunxia Island, Wei Zhong had no intention of continuing to operate this spiritual land and directly returned it to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

Wei Zhong, his two daughters, and about a hundred of his men moved to Qingbo Island, a hundred miles away.

This island is located along the Luo River, closer to the main trunk of the river, far beyond the branches such as Yunxi.

The spiritual energy on both sides of the Luo River is extremely abundant, and there are many third-level spiritual places, and Qingbo Island is the best among them.

Similar to Yunxia Island, Qingbo Island is also a peninsula and the size is almost the same.

There is a special spiritual plant called Silverbearded Vine growing in the waters outside the island. It blocks the silt carried by the Luo River and makes the river water near the peninsula clear. Therefore, the island is named Qingbo Island.

Previously, the island had been managed by people arranged by Song Linfang. After the handover by his subordinates, the management of the island was quickly put on right track.

Wei Zhong also arranged for people to build a new cave at the core location of the island's spiritual vein for himself and others to practice and live in.

In addition, the island protection formation on Qingbo Island was set up by Ling Ziwei herself. As a third-level formation master, Ling Ziwei is naturally very proficient in this kind of protective formation. He is not comparable to Wei Zhong, a half-baked person who only knows how to break the formation.

All matters concerning Ling Island can be arranged by the two girls. As the island owner, Wei Zhong has nothing to do for a while, so he simply enters the training room of the cave and takes a step forward to arrive in the cave.

After inspecting the territory, Wei Zhong walked into the courtyard and began to check the newly acquired "Forging Gang Method".

After reading it through, Wei Zhong raised his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

I finally understood what Song Linfang meant when she said this method was somewhat special.

To be precise, this is not an orthodox method of body training, but rather an auxiliary method that is more aimed at enhancing the strength of the spiritual body.

The idea behind this was exactly the same as what Wei Zhong had heard from Xu Xuan, which was to refine spiritual power to obtain Gangqi.

But this is just the foundation and the appearance.

After refining Qi and building the spiritual foundation, you can use the Qi to temper your body to enhance the strength of your Dharma body.

However, when it comes to the stage of Dan formation, major changes occur.

At this level, one can use Gang Qi to make Gang Seal, which will not only cause a great qualitative change in the strength of Gang Qi.

Moreover, the Gangyin can also enhance the cultivator's true elixir.

Because it was originally painted on the true elixir, it was as if it was putting a layer of strong armor on the cultivator's true elixir.

The Gang Qi strengthens the body, and the Gang Seal strengthens the elixir.

This will achieve the effect of being strong both inside and outside.

This is also the reason why Song Linfang was able to sacrifice the real elixir to resist the calamity of life and death.

This is one of the reasons why Wei Zhong believes that this method is not a traditional body-refining method.

Although Wei Zhong did not practice any specific physical training techniques, he had learned a lot of the rules after years of understanding them.

Most of the body-refining techniques are similar to the spiritual cultivation techniques and will condense the true elixir at the third great realm.

And use this pill as a foundation to continue on the path of cultivation.

However, I have never heard of such a method that does not form a real elixir and only uses it as an auxiliary method of spiritual practice.

Another reason is that this method does not have a clear division of realms.

It is not like spiritual cultivation or conventional physical cultivation which are generally divided into Qi refining, foundation building and other realms.

The realm level of this method changes according to the spiritual method practiced by the cultivator.

Even the order of practice does not matter.

For example, Wei Zhong is at the Jindan stage now, so there is no need to refine all the Gang Qi and then practice step by step until he can refine the Gang Seal.

Instead, after refining part of the spiritual energy into Gang Qi, you can immediately start refining the Gang Seal.

It's like splitting and interlacing the steps of refining Gangqi and Gangyin.

What is rare and valuable is that this method can not only leave a seal on the true elixir of the Jindan cultivator, but also achieve the same effect in the subsequent Yuanying realm.

To enhance the strength of the cultivator's Nascent Soul.

"It's a wonderful method indeed!"

After roughly understanding the practice method of this method, Wei Zhong immediately began to practice it.

Follow the instructions recorded in the exercises to start from refining the Qi.

It took three days for Wei Zhong to successfully condense the first wisp of energy.

It was a unique energy substance like a black filament, which kept circling above Wei Zhong's fingers.

'The material is very tough, and it is not easy to cut it even with a third-level magic sword.

But if you use all your strength, you can destroy it.'

However, this was just a wisp of energy. Wei Zhong still understood the difference between a pair of chopsticks and a single chopstick.

As for the spiritual power in the body, it has not decreased much, but this does not mean that the amount of Gang Qi can be infinite.

It is affected by both the total amount of spiritual power and the strength of the physical body of the cultivator.

'An ordinary person can create a seal with a hundred strands of energy, but the quality of my spiritual energy is much higher than others, I wonder how far I can go.'

Wei Zhong continued to practice this method. When he refined the 30th Gang Qi, an intuition suddenly arose in Wei Zhong's heart.

With the transformation spell, thirty strands of energy intertwined and transformed, and a black seal appeared in Wei Zhong's body.

Wei Zhong looked at the seal pattern and felt that it seemed somewhat similar to the runes produced by his peerless throwing technique.

Under the control of spiritual consciousness, it is brought close to the real elixir in the body.

As if the two poles attracted each other, the seal suddenly stuck to the surface of the real pill.

A sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously from Wei Zhong's body.

Looking inside, there was a gorgeous pattern on the dark surface of the real pill, which made the real pill even more mysterious.

'Is this the protective seal?'

Wei Zhong took out the real pill and flicked it with his index finger. A black light suddenly appeared on the surface of the real pill.

'No wonder Song Linfang dared to use this to resist the killing calamity.

If a hundred seals could be engraved on the true elixir, its strength would probably exceed that of most third-tier magic tools.'

Wei Zhong put away the real elixir and was about to continue practicing this method.

Suddenly, I saw a flashing signal in the outside world.

So he escaped from the cave and took the token in his hand.

Xie Linghua's voice was heard from among them.

Wei Zhong left the training room and found Xie Linghua in the outside world.

"What happened in Zhigang Palace?"

When the latter saw Wei Zhong coming out of seclusion, he greeted him and quickly told him the details. After listening, Wei Zhong also understood the general course of events.

It turned out that Elder Ding Jinsong of Zhigang Palace had found a helper in the late Jindan stage from somewhere.

Some time ago, relying on his strength, he wanted to seize the power of Zhigang Palace before Song Linfang recovered from her injury.

Seeing that his elders were betraying him, Song Linfang was naturally furious, and he fought with the monk despite his injuries.

The fight between the two affected many disciples of the sect.

Fortunately, with the help of the sect's formation, Song Linfang fought them on equal terms and successfully drove them out of the Gang Palace territory.

But after all, he fought with an injured body. After the fight, Song Linfang's injuries relapsed and he no longer had the strength to fight.

Now he can only rely on his junior sister Bu Yajuan and the sect's formation to resist the attack of the two.

"Did Zhigang Palace ask for help from other forces?" Wei Zhong asked.

This is a power struggle among the Jindan cultivators in Luohe Prefecture. Unlike the invasion by the Demon Sect, the upper-level Yuanying rulers will not interfere.

Xie Linghua nodded:
"The message from the Gang Palace asking for help has spread throughout the Luohe Prefecture, and even my Qingbo Island has received the letter asking for help.

However, there was very little feedback. The Jinguan Pavilion, a Jindan sect that was equally famous, did not even respond to his request for help.

The combat power of the late Jindan stage is very rare in other forces, so they are unwilling to get involved."

Wei Zhong could understand that Jinguan Pavilion was unwilling to participate in such a fight.

It is a Jindan sect of the same level as the Zhigang Palace. Naturally, it is happy to see the other party weaken so that it can sit firmly on the position of the top sect in Luohe Prefecture.

As for other Jindan forces, most of them are like the Ling family, with one or two Jindan combat forces, and few in the late Jindan stage. They will not make enemies with a late Jindan master for a little reward.

"Did the Yunji Chamber of Commerce have any reaction?"

Xie Linghua shook her head:
"At present, I don't see the Chamber of Commerce's intention to take action."

Wei Zhong stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The Yunji Chamber of Commerce has always been only engaged in business and rarely participates in these power struggles, but if the price offered by the Zhigang Palace is high enough, it may not be impossible to hire the masters.

Is there any other secret behind this matter?

Wei Zhong then asked:

"Where is your sister Ling?"

Xie Linghua replied:
"Someone from the Ling family sent a message a few days ago saying that Sister Ling has returned to the clan."

Wei Zhong nodded when he heard this. Ling Ziwei was still cautious and did not get involved in such trouble.

"What conditions did Zhigang Palace ask me to take action?"

"The permanent right to use Qingbo Island, and three magical herbs that are over 5,000 years old."

“It’s still a high price.”

Being able to offer such a high price to Wei Zhong, a cultivator in the early Jindan stage, already shows great respect for Wei Zhong.

Qingbo Island alone, which possesses a third-grade superior spiritual vein, is worth a fortune.

Those three spiritual herbs could only be considered as bonuses considering Wei Zhong’s status as an alchemist.

'But this doesn't impress me.'

Wei Zhong is not stupid, it’s just a spiritual island.

There is no need to use the cultivation level of early Jindan stage to challenge the late Jindan stage.

After fighting with the Silver Wolf Blood Body of True Lord Xuehai, Wei Zhong already had a rough idea of ​​his own level.

At most, he can fight with an ordinary late Jindan cultivator and barely protect himself. If he meets a good fighter among them, he will probably end up defeated.

What's more, he currently lacks the very important [Black Water Spirit Clothes] with the blessing of Yuanshui.

The combat effectiveness has further declined.

As for concealing his identity, he used the [Taoism of Time] to pretend to be a high-level cultivator to rescue the Zhigang Palace, and then asked for compensation afterwards.

Wei Zhong began to think about the possibilities.

As a large local sect in Luohe Prefecture, Zhigang Palace must be very wealthy, there is no doubt about that.

As long as you can help the other party survive this disaster, rewards are inevitable.

However, I still have to ask Xu Xuan whether there are any other hidden stories behind this incident.

"You take care of Lingdao. I'm going out for a while."

After Wei Zhong finished speaking, Xie Linghua hesitated: "Master..."

Wei Zhong knew his worries and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I won't fight head-on with that late Jindan cultivator. This trip is just to go to Yunji Chamber of Commerce to get some information."

The latter then nodded slowly.

Wei Zhong immediately turned into a black light and flew into the sky, escaping towards Yuelan City.

After a while, Wei Zhong and Xu Xuan sat opposite each other in the Yunji Building.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, it would be better for you not to get involved in this matter of Zhigang Palace."

Wei Zhong put down the teacup in his hand:

"Oh, is there some secret behind this matter? I would like to ask Daoist Xuxuan to give me some advice."

"It's not a secret, but I'm worried that if you take action, you might offend that late Jindan cultivator for no reason and make him unhappy."

"Since there is no secret, why doesn't the Chamber of Commerce take action?"

Xu Xuan shook his head: "I don't have enough information to tell you the details. You just need to know that the Chamber of Commerce is short of manpower at the moment."

Wei Zhong did not continue to ask. It was enough for him to know that the mysterious late Jindan cultivator had no backing.

"Thank you for letting me know!"

After a conversation with Xu Xuan, Wei Zhong already had a plan.

After leaving Yuelan City, he rushed towards Zhigang Palace.

After arriving at the destination, Wei Zhong saw a confrontation between two sides.

The Zhigang Palace's protective formation was fully activated, and a layer of golden light firmly enveloped the core area of ​​the sect.

Outside the light shield, there were two groups of monks looking forward from afar.

There were only two people on one side, in the void far away from the aura of the formation.

Wei Zhong recognized Ding Jinsong among them.

A bald old man looked at the people guarding outside the formation in front of him with a bit of mockery.

"With your limited cultivation level, you dare to interfere in this matter. Are you not willing to die?"

Wei Zhong followed his line of sight and saw three Jindan cultivators guarding outside the formation. They were probably helpers recruited by Zhigang Palace with various properties.

Two are in the early stage of Jindan, and one is in the middle stage of Jindan.

Perhaps because they were worried about some people turning against them, they were isolated on the outside by the Zhigang Palace using a formation.

Wei Zhong's appearance instantly attracted the attention of several people.

Especially when Ding Jinsong saw Wei Zhong appear, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Master Wu, you also want to participate in this matter?"

Wei Zhong's expression did not change:

"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. I just made an appointment with Fellow Daoist Song from Zhigang Palace, and I came here to give him a healing pill."

Immediately he ignored it and said loudly to the formation:

"Fellow Daoist Song, as agreed, I am here to deliver the elixir to you."
