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

Chapter 131 Leaking Secrets
The light gate behind everyone slowly dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Bofeng, who was waiting outside, had not yet figured out the situation in front of him, but he was frightened when he saw the miserable scenes of several people.

He was especially frightened when he saw Peng Susu unconscious in Song Linfang's arms.

Song Linfang looked very unhappy, but she had no choice but to respond to Lihua's complaint:

"I'm sorry for being rude. I didn't expect there were so many puppets in the formation. It's really..."

Having said this, he seemed to remember the scene just now. A chill suddenly rose up in his heart and fear was revealed on his face.

Master Lihua didn't know how to blame them. After all, they were still dazzled by the possible resources in this secret realm.

He is delusional enough to try to gain opportunities with this body that has reached the Dan stage. He is just greedy and wants to swallow an elephant.

Fortunately, Lihua remained vigilant and used the formation in his hand to delay for a while, which gave everyone time to escape.

Otherwise, the four of them would probably all be buried in that secret realm.

Thinking of those formation plates, Master Lihua couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

With his face full of wrinkles, his facial expression is even uglier than ever.

When Song Linfang saw this look, she knew that the price the other party paid was not cheap. After all, he saved many lives, so Song Linfang couldn't just pretend that nothing happened.

So he took out a storage bag and stuffed it into his arms:
"Thank you very much for your help just now, Fellow Daoist Lihua. These are my compensation to you."

Lihua probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag and caught a glimpse of several high-quality spirit stones inside. His expression became a little better.

However, Xu Xianliang, who was standing by, was puzzled when he saw his Palace Master's generous behavior. He hesitated for a long time before taking out a storage bag and handing it to Master Lihua.

The latter glanced at it and muttered in a low voice:

"Poor bastard!"

But the cultivators present were either in the foundation-building stage or the core-forming stage, so they naturally heard these words clearly, and Xu Xianliang was no exception.

Ben's face, which was pale due to losing an arm, instantly turned red.

Song Linfang also knew that Xu Xianliang was short of money, so even if he wanted to give out good things, he had no way to do so.

I can only pay out of my own pocket to support my elders.

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

Song Linfang heard the voice beside her and replied:
"You and I are colleagues in the Zhigang Palace, so we should help each other to the fullest extent possible.

Elder Xu, don't worry about this matter. The most urgent thing is to take good care of your body."

Xu Xianliang looked at his left arm in his right hand with an extremely ugly expression.

Although spiritual practice has methods to reconnect severed limbs, it can also severely damage the body's vitality.

During the period of recovery, not only will your vitality be damaged, but your cultivation speed will also drop significantly. During this period, you don't need to think about practicing anymore.

Seeing that his elders had received compensation, Wang Bofeng asked:
"Uncle, what happened in this secret realm?"

Turning to look at the unconscious Peng Susu in Song Linfang's arms, he continued:

"Why did Suer become like this?"

Master Lihua felt a little angry when he saw that he ignored his elders at this time and instead cared so much about a girl from the outer sect.

Song Linfang was happy to explain the reason:
“There are still a large number of puppets in the secret realm formation. We didn’t check it for a while and were ambushed by them.

As for Su Su, she was indeed seriously injured and fell into a coma, but she has taken the elixir to prevent the further deterioration of her injuries. As long as she is treated properly, there will be no accidents in the future."

Wang Bofeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Lihua Zhenren on the side pulled his sleeve:

"Let's go. This secret realm is of great importance. We still need to report to the elders of the clan."

When Wang Bofeng heard these remarks, he looked a little surprised.

"Tell the clan, there won't be many opportunities for us."

Song Linfang's expression changed several times, and her lips moved slightly as she transmitted a message to Master Lihua.

The latter replied:

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Song, this secret place was discovered by Zhigang Palace after all.

The elders of my clan will not take advantage of others and will give you an explanation."

Song Linfang breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that the Wang family would turn against them after occupying this secret realm.

Master Lihua bowed and left with Wang Bofeng, not even caring about his unconscious "good disciple" Peng Susu.

Xu Xianliang behind him asked:

"Palace Master, what should we do?"

Song Linfang looked at Peng Susu, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and Xu Xianliang, who had a broken arm, and replied:

"Go to Qingbo Island and ask Master Wei for the elixir."

So the three of them boarded a spirit boat and headed towards Qingbo Island.

······
On Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong, who was immersed in refining equipment, was suddenly interrupted by the fluctuations of the formation.

After leaving the cave, I looked out and saw the spirit boat outside the formation and Song Linfang's figure.

He waved his hand to make way for a passage, allowing the spirit boat to fly into the formation.

"Fellow Daoist Song, what is this?"

The latter fell down holding Peng Susu, followed closely by Xu Xianliang, whose arm was broken.

Wei Zhong was also shocked to see how miserable these people were.

"Did Daoist Fellow go to that secret realm again?"

Song Linfang smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Please help me, Brother Wei."

"Okay, okay, please come in quickly."

On the other side, Ling Ziwei, who was in retreat, was also alarmed by the movement of the formation. When she came out and saw such a scene, she was very surprised.

After a moment, Wei Zhong withdrew his spiritual sense from Peng Susu.

“The injury to this woman’s body is not serious, but she seems to have been frightened by something and needs to be nurtured.

Just take some soul-nourishing pills and some ordinary healing pills."

After hearing Wei Zhong's judgment, Song Linfang calmed down a little.

Wei Zhong looked at Xu Xianliang who was standing beside him:
"My fellow Daoist has a broken arm, but wants it reattached. I have a magical pill called Broken Gold and Continuing Jade Pill.

It can speed up the repair of the damage to the body. Even if you have a broken arm, you can recover in a month or so and continue practicing."

Xu Xianliang gritted his teeth and asked:
"I wonder what the price is?"

"Eight thousand low-grade spirit stones."

After Xu Xianliang learned the price, he hesitated for more than a moment.

Wei Zhong was secretly surprised. After joining Zhigang Palace for so many years, he shouldn't be so poor, right? Could it be that he used most of his resources on cultivation?
Song Linfang secretly conveyed the message, and Wei Zhong learned that the other party had just lost a large sum of spiritual wealth and was currently short of money.

"Let's put these eight thousand spirit stones into the sect's account. After all, Elder Xu was injured this time because of a sect mission."

Xu Xianliang looked up at Song Linfang, bowed his hands in thanks, and his gratitude was evident on his face.

Wei Zhong prepared elixirs for the three of them, and then went on to inquire about the cause of their serious injuries.

Just at this time, Peng Susu also woke up from her coma, but her face was pale and she listened quietly to the conversation between them.

"Fellow Daoist Song said that there are still a large number of puppets in the secret realm formation. Could it be that they are exactly the same as the puppets that once seriously injured you?"

Ling Ziwei also came over curiously, wanting to hear the details.

Song Linfang nodded:

"They are almost the same in appearance, and their realms vary, but in numbers..."

Song Linfang still feels her scalp tingling when she thinks back on it.

Ling Ziwei asked:
"Leaving aside the puppets, have you guys broken the formation?" Song Linfang did not answer, but looked at Peng Susu who was lying on the side.

“Let me answer this question.

To be precise, neither I, the Zhigang Palace, nor the people from the Wang family have the ability to break this formation.

It was just a slight offense that caused the formation to counterattack."

"Then how did you induce the puppets in the formation to attack you?"

Peng Susu gave a bitter smile:
"Because the formation is originally composed of endless puppets. It is a special puppet formation."

It was the first time that Wei Zhong heard of this novel formation, and he turned around to look at Ling Ziwei.

The other party was also lost in thought, and was obviously not familiar with this.

But Peng Susu went on to explain:

“According to Senior Lihua, this formation uses puppets at the Jindan level as the formation flags, and puppets at the lower levels serve as transmission nodes that connect the formation.

It is a truly living formation with infinite variations, and it cannot be solved by anyone other than a fourth-rank formation master or a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Wei Zhong took a deep breath. It was not easy to have dual requirements on the level of formation and cultivation.

This means that the puppet formation in the secret realm is absolutely at the fourth level, and it is also an extremely dangerous killing formation.

The counterattack when breaking the formation is also at the absolute fourth level, which has extremely high requirements for the person who breaks the formation.

If one's cultivation is insufficient, he will be like Peng Susu in front of him, with his mind captured, seriously injured and unconscious. If no one else takes care of him, he will be killed on the spot by one of the puppets.

"So, did Master Lihua go back to the Wang family to invite a fourth-rank formation master?"

Peng Susu nodded: "Nine out of ten!"

Wei Zhong turned around and looked at Song Linfang, who did not look very happy.

With the Nascent Soul cultivators getting involved, it’s hard to say who will own the opportunity in this secret realm.

I don’t know if the other party regrets introducing the Nascent Soul force.

But little did Song Linfang expect things to turn out this way.

This invitation was for Lihua personally, not the entire Wang family.

This is the cooperation between the Jindan and the Jindan. When the opportunities are shared, Zhigang Palace will also get the biggest share.

At the same time, it can also encourage subordinates to marry with the descendants of the Wang family, which is simply the best of both worlds for the Zhigang Palace, which focuses on physical cultivation.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly.

The opportunity was too great for several people to take. Not only could they not take it, they were not even qualified to take a look at what the opportunity was, and they almost died in the secret realm.

If it weren't for Master Lihua who decisively threw out the formation plate to cover the retreat, there would be no chance of Song Linfang surviving even if she had sacrificed her true elixir.

"Speaking of a fourth-level formation master, the Wang family has only the fairy Wang Qianxi."

Ling Ziwei murmured.

Attract everyone's attention.

Wei Zhong also had some impression of this person. According to the intelligence records of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, this woman was one of the few spiritual practitioners in the Wang family.

Possessing water-type spiritual roots and extraordinary talent, he entered the Nascent Soul stage at an early age and became an elder of the Wang family.

Not only does his cultivation level surpass the ordinary, he also has remarkable attainments in formation. With the help of the Wang family's strong accumulation, he reached the fourth level in just a few hundred years, surpassing all the formation masters of the Wang family.

"If it is really Fairy Wang who has come here, then this secret realm shouldn't be a problem."

Nascent Soul cultivator or fourth-level formation master, no matter which of these two identities it is, it is enough to implicate the entire Nascent Soul force.

What’s more, Wang Qianxi possesses both abilities. Any move made by this person will implicate the entire Wang family.

I don’t know how many resources will be mobilized to ensure his safety.

After all, such a person is extremely important to the Wang family and cannot be lost.

But considering the arrogance of Nascent Soul cultivators, does Zhigang Palace have the ability to get a piece of the pie?
It all depends on the character of Fairy Wang.

Song Linfang's expression seemed to become even uglier when she thought of this.

He clenched his fingers tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He looked up at Wei Zhong and secretly transmitted the message.

Wei Zhong was surprised for a moment when he heard what he said, but he calmed down immediately.

The voice transmission replied:
"Fellow Daoist Song has come up with a good idea, but I have no intention of getting involved in it, so please let Fellow Daoist Song spread the news yourself.

The Yunji Chamber of Commerce has many eyes and ears. Even if a Taoist friend leaks something in the market, it will soon reach the Chamber of Commerce."

Song Linfang's eyes lit up slightly and she nodded secretly.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Song Linfang made an excuse that she had something to do and took the two of them away.

Watching the other party leave, Wei Zhong said calmly:
"Song Linfang is a very thoughtful person."

Just now, Song Linfang wanted to use Wei Zhong to reveal the news of the secret realm to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce in order to attract this Nascent Soul force to join.

But why would Wei Zhong seek trouble by getting involved? He wouldn't get much benefit from this and would offend the Wang family for no reason. It would be a total loss with no benefit.

So he asked Song Linfang to leak the matter directly to the public.

Yunji Chamber of Commerce is not only a chamber of commerce, but also has a huge intelligence network, so this matter will soon fall into their ears.

Soon a Nascent Soul cultivator will arrive to share a piece of the pie in this secret realm.

With the participation of multiple Nascent Soul forces, Zhigang Palace, as the discoverer of this secret realm, naturally had a different situation.

If a single Yuanying force is in power, it is possible that they can secretly cover up the Zhigang Palace and prevent Song Linfang from making any profit.

However, since two Nascent Soul forces are involved at the same time, they will most likely have to consider their own reputation, and some small tricks will not be able to be used.

In order to maintain their prestige as a powerful force, they might even give out lavish rewards to show off to other cultivators in the world of cultivation.

"Fortunately, my husband is cautious. If we had believed the slander of Fellow Daoist Song, I'm afraid our end would have been even more tragic," Ling Ziwei said with some emotion.

"Haha, your husband is a master of foresight, isn't he?"

Wei Zhong hugged him in his arms and laughed.

After playing around for a while, the two of them returned to business.

"According to what my husband said, Fellow Daoist Song is about to bring the Yunji Chamber of Commerce into the game. This will make the situation very different."

Wei Zhong nodded:

"I'm afraid it's not just the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. Those Yuanying forces all have many eyes and ears.

Luohe Prefecture is not far from Yunzhou City, so some news will soon be known to them.

What's more, this time it involves the major event of Nascent Soul opportunity.

I'm afraid even if two more Nascent Soul forces come, it's hard to say for sure.

This Luohe Prefecture is also about to start unrest!"

Wei Zhong was deeply moved.

"Then, my husband, do you think that Fellow Daoist Song can get what he wants in this matter?"

Wei Zhong nodded and shook his head:

"Those Yuanying forces will probably satisfy their demands for the sake of face, or even exceed their demands.

But this is only a temporary benefit, it will cause disaster in the long run.

These Yuanying masters have practiced for hundreds of years, and none of them is stupid. Who wouldn’t know that it was the Zhigang Palace’s move if the news leaked?

Such clever tricks can't be hidden from them.

Especially the Wang family who took the lead, I’m afraid...”

Wei Zhong, you shook your head repeatedly when you said this.
