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

Chapter 136 The formation is broken
The years of seclusion and cultivation are always boring. Every day one practices "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" and "Forging Gang Method", interspersed with practice of alchemy and weapon refining techniques.

Wei Zhong is improving himself at an astonishing speed.

It has been three years since Wei Zhong was promoted to a fourth-rank alchemist. He opened the furnace and collected the pills. Ten round pills fell into his hands.

"Six high-grade Haoyuan Pills and four mid-grade ones. Now I can finally maintain it at a stable 64."

Sort them into storage bags.

During these three years, Wei Zhong almost used up all the elixirs he had that could be used to refine the Haoyuan Pill.

There were dozens of bottles of elixirs piled up in the storage bag, at least half of which were top-grade elixirs.

Such a large number of pills would be enough to cause a bloody storm.

"It is really difficult to digest the limited market in Luohe Prefecture. Even if we release it, it will bring disaster to ourselves. It is far less cost-effective to send it to Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Zhong already had a plan in mind, and after coming out of seclusion he headed straight for Yuelan City.

After meeting Xu Xuanzhi in Yunji Tower and leaving the message that he would meet Shan Qin, Wei Zhong returned to Lingdao.

Wei Zhong didn't dare to leak the information about this large quantity of high-level elixirs. The safest way was to hand it over to Shan Qin.

On his return, Wei Zhong went to take a look around the secret place.

It was discovered that there were many monks from the four sects guarding the gate to the secret realm.

There were also some independent cultivators circling outside, and I didn't know whether they wanted to watch the fun or get a piece of the pie.

Wei Zhong did not move closer, but looked at the wide and ancient gate in the center that was shaped like a dragon and a phoenix. After thinking for a while, he walked around and left.

It lasted for five years, and the four Yuanying forces have not yet completed the development of the secret realm.

Such a situation can be said to be beyond the expectations of most cultivators. Many people even speculated that this secret realm was a relic of the inheritance of the Divine Transformation, which made the development process extremely slow.

As such rumors spread, the enthusiasm among the monks for the secret realm did not fade over time, but instead became more and more intense.

Many cultivators from nearby prefectures were attracted by it, making the situation in Luohe Prefecture more complicated.

There are many cultivators, and they are a mixed bag. We often hear about cultivators being robbed, which makes people panic.

But having so many cultivators is not a bad thing for Wei Zhong. A well-known independent cultivator and master of alchemy and weapons is a hot commodity at this time.

Wei Zhong's alchemy business has doubled in recent times, and the spirit stones he earned are enough to make the local Jindan forces jealous.

These harvests were naturally collected by Wei Zhong as spiritual objects, and then used again for alchemy.

After returning to Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong threw a top-grade soul-nourishing pill into his mouth like eating candy beans.

He just sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, closed his eyes and practiced his skills to refine them.

There was the sound of waves around him, and a huge golden fish jumped out of the water. It was Dajin.

The other party approached Wei Zhong holding a black round bead in its mouth. A cloud emerged from under the fish body and lifted the other party up into the air.

The huge fish head rubbed Wei Zhong's clothes, with a hint of flattery in its eyes.

Wei Zhong opened his eyes, took off the Yuan Shui bead with a smile, then took out a elixir and stuffed it into his mouth.

This is a little gadget that Wei Zhong casually made, called Lingshi Pill.

It is used to cultivate spirit beasts, ranging from level one to level three. After providing this pill to Jiucai and Jinmei, their improvement speed has accelerated.

The only exception was the Dajin fish. No matter how many spiritual pills it ate, it showed no signs of growth, which left Wei Zhong puzzled.

"Aren't you a demon?"

Wei Zhong patted the fish's head, and after eating the spiritual pill, the fish happily jumped into the river.

"It's like the reaction of a child who has eaten a candy pill."

Wei Zhong made a joke and returned to the cave with the Yuanshui Pearl.

At this moment, the Yuan Shuizhu has once again entered the realm of a third-grade top-grade magical weapon and can be used again to cultivate one's own spiritual roots.

······
After more than a month, Wei Zhong opened his eyes with a look of emotion.

“No wonder in this cultivation world, people with high-grade spiritual roots are known, but those with low-grade spiritual roots are rarely known. They can only be seen in some Nascent Soul sects.

This earth spiritual root and the top-grade spiritual root are really not on the same level. The gap between the two can undoubtedly be described as a chasm.

According to Tan Tai Lin, the other party was able to refine his earth-grade spiritual roots and advance to the Nascent Soul stage only after reaching the late stage of Jindan.

I will probably be a little faster than the other party and will be able to forge it in the middle stage of Jindan.

Therefore, the cultivation in the Jindan realm will be shortened by a year."

Looking down at the panel:

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Early stage of Jindan (second level, 41%)]

【Shouyuan: 378/540】

It has only been twenty years since he reached the Jindan stage, but he has made such progress in cultivation. If anyone knew about it, it would be enough to shock other cultivators.

The speed of this Dan-forming practice can even be compared to the foundation-building of ordinary people.

With the blessing of superior spiritual roots, supplemented by various high-level resources, the speed of improvement is terrifying.

"I wonder what it will be like after I forge the Earth Spirit Root?"

Wei Zhong's thoughts were flying in his mind, but were interrupted by a slight fluctuation in the island protection formation.

After leaving the cave, Wei Zhong used his spiritual sense to explore and found that the person who came was not Shan Qin, but Wanyan Fu.

The other party didn't seem to care about the matters in the secret realm. Every once in a while, he would travel around the mountains and rivers of Luohe Prefecture, or seek to challenge the foreign Jindan cultivators.

There were many mid-stage cultivators among them, but they were often concerned about Wanyan Fu's status as a true disciple of the Shadow Moon Sect and did not dare to use their full strength. As a result, they were defeated by Wanyan Fu and his treasures due to their carelessness.

In just a few years, Wanyan Fu has accumulated more fame than when he was building his foundation.

After all, the Jindan force in Luohe Prefecture is the top.

When he was not traveling or fighting, Wanyan Fu would occasionally come to Wei Zhong's Qingbo Island.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, give me another bottle of middle-grade Haoyuan Pill!"

The true descendant of the Shadow Moon Sect is wealthy, so naturally he would not use low-grade elixirs step by step in the early stage of forming the elixir.

Wei Zhong smiled and led the other party to the pavilion by the river, and with a wave of his hand, a jade treasure bottle appeared.

After Wanyan Fu opened it, he looked at the golden pill inside, nodded with satisfaction, and accepted it.

Then he took out various elixirs, some of which were thousand-year-old.

This was the transaction condition that Wei Zhong had agreed upon with him. Instead of purchasing with spirit stones, the money would be offset with spirit medicine.

After Wei Zhong carefully identified it, he accepted the elixir.

Then I talked to him:

"Fellow Daoist Wanyan, I wonder which fellow Jindan Daoist you defeated this time?"

The latter curled his lips:
“I met a physical cultivator who was said to be from Mangyuan Prefecture. Although that guy’s realm is not high, about the same as mine, his thunder technique is extraordinary.

Especially the mysterious lightning escape technique, which almost caused me to suffer a great loss."

'Could the physical cultivator from Mangyuan Prefecture be Yi Liu from Qingmu Sect?
At first, I just mentioned to him that the resources in the central city of Yunzhou were more abundant, but I didn't expect that he would have already set off in just a few years.'

"Oh, there is such a wonderful method. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wanyan won?"

"Of course he won!"

Although Wanyan Fu said this with a hint of pride, Wei Zhong could still see some hesitation in his words. It must have been a difficult victory.

Wei Zhong's guess was correct. The battle between Wanyan Fu and Yi Liu was almost beyond the control of the Shadow Moon Sect's true disciple.

The opponent's thunder-based body technique not only has an extremely fast escape speed, but also has the effect of repelling the magic of the virtual spirit body, which is very restraining to Wanyan Fu's fire-based spiritual technique.

The speed of movement in the magic weapon barrier was a little faster than Wei Zhong's. Wanyan Fu relied on his spiritual power to compete with him, causing Yi Liu to be exhausted and exit the "Thunder Control True Body" state, and thus won.

This is completely inconsistent with the suppressive power that Wanyan Fu had demonstrated in the past when challenging opponents of the same level.

It can be said that the win was not pretty.

Of course, there is no need to tell Wei Zhong the details of the fight.

"Come to think of it, there is a spiritual practitioner in the middle stage of Jindan next to that kid. The spiritual power he exerts is somewhat similar to that of you, Fellow Daoist Wei. It is also black spiritual power."

Wei Zhong was stunned.

"Could it be Yao Zhengsheng, the leader of the Qingmu Sect?"

After listening to Wanyan Fu's description of this person, Wei Zhong was sure that this person was Yao Zhengsheng.

"What's wrong with the Qingmu Sect? Their leader doesn't stay in the sect, but instead travels with the elders."

Wei Zhong couldn't figure out Qing Mu Zong's thoughts, so he made a few jokes in his mind and then put it out of his mind.

Then he asked Wanyan Fu about the development of the secret realm.

Wanyan Fu was not as generous as Shan Qin and was vague about the details of the secret realm.

Wei Zhong didn't know whether the other party was really used to being a hands-off boss, or whether the details were inconvenient to be disclosed to Wei Zhong.

The two chatted for a while, and the token on Wanyan Fu's waist flashed, causing his expression to suddenly change.

"Friend Wei..."

Before he could finish his words, a beam of silver-white light suddenly rose from the distant horizon and shot straight into the sky.

Its direction is exactly where the secret place is.

Now, without Wanyan Fu telling him, Wei Zhong understood that there might have been changes in the secret realm.

"Well, Fellow Daoist Wei, I'll take my leave first," he bowed to Wei Zhongyan.

Wei Zhong nodded, opened the formation and sent him away.

Then he looked at the silver-white light column that was gradually dissipating in the sky and sighed:
"Has this secret realm finally been breached by the four Yuanying forces? Luohe Prefecture has been thrown into complete chaos under this influence.

Thinking about the number of cultivators gathered in Luohe Mansion at this moment, Wei Zhong couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. "

Thinking of the people on the Spirit Island below, he transmitted the message:
"From this moment on, no one is allowed to leave Qingbo Island, but no one is allowed to enter. Martial law will last for three months."

Wei Zhong's words caused an uproar among the people on Ling Island, and they all speculated that it was related to the strange phenomenon just now.

Wei Zhong fell into the Yunqing Courtyard below, turned around and stepped into the cave to continue his practice.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, as long as it does not affect Wei Zhong's safety, Wei Zhong's path of practice cannot be stopped.

In the distance, the pillar of light in the sky slowly dissipated, and the cultivators in the outside world also knew that some changes had occurred in the secret realm.

Each cultivator looked towards the Dragon and Phoenix Gate, the only entrance and exit, their minds active as they thought about how to gain benefits from it.

The number of foreign monks present alone is greater than the garrison personnel outside the four major forces.

Even the number of Jindan cultivators is exceeded.

Such a disparity in numbers caused many independent cultivators to stir up trouble at this moment, claiming that these foreign Nascent Soul forces were trying to seize the opportunities of their mansion, which was really unfair, so they wanted to invite their fellow cultivators present to take some opportunities from the secret realm and share them with all the cultivators.

Naturally, these remarks caused a huge response among the independent cultivators, and they all tried to use the cultivators' public opinion to force the four sects to make concessions.

But the monks from the four sects remained unmoved. They just stayed at their own positions, looking coldly at the densely packed monks surrounding them on the outside.

As the four major forces that dominate Yunzhou, they naturally don't need to explain anything to these monks who are causing trouble. The world of cultivation is based on strength.

Seeing that no matter how much they talked, there was no progress at all, some monks in the crowd began to attack the teams of the four sects.

They were led by two Jindan cultivators, followed by dozens of foundation-building cultivators.

With the magic sword in his hand, he wanted to get close and talk to the sect's forces.

The leader looked unfamiliar, as if he had come here from another place. As soon as he approached and scolded them, the other team responded quickly.

A huge ball of purple-red flame gathered above a group of black-robed monks. The spiritual pressure contained in it made all the monks present change color.

This is none other than the Red Flame Society's Heavenly Liu Fire. At this moment, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage is leading dozens of cultivators in the foundation-building stage to perform the magic of spiritual fire.

The power of this move is enough to compete with the cultivators in the late Jindan stage. Those cultivators who come close to it are at the early Jindan stage at best. How can they withstand this move?

He forgot the purpose of coming here to exert pressure, and responded in panic, trying to protect himself.

But the Red Flame Society would not give any further explanation, and were even too lazy to talk to them.

Driving the fireballs above their heads to fall, the pressured team immediately scattered and fled, but how could their escape speed be faster than this spiritual method.

In a flash, the fireball fell on everyone's heads.

The monks under him took out their own protective measures.

Talismans, magic tools, talismans...

These people took out all kinds of strange and bizarre items in the hope of finding a way to survive under this spiritual method.

But all these were in vain. The fireball seemed to pass over a few insignificant mosquitoes, and then fell into the forest below, burning a huge pit hundreds of feet in diameter.

When the rising steam dissipated, the figures of the monks were no longer visible.

Such a scene instantly made the faces of the cultivators present grim. They never expected that the cultivators under the command of the Nascent Soul force would be so domineering and decisive, and directly destroyed several people.

The monks in the field were as frightened as if they were holding their breath.

The leader of the Red Flame Society nodded with satisfaction:

"Anyone who charges into the battle line again will die!"

At this time, the outer cultivators seemed to have just remembered the horror of the Nascent Soul force.

Even though the other side appears to have fewer monks than them, their strength is incomparable to these monks from various places with unknown heritage.

There is no profit to be made!
Many people have already understood the determination of the four major forces, and they are not going to leave any soup for others.

Different from the Dongting Secret Realm open to the Luohe Prefecture, this secret realm will be occupied and divided by four major forces.

In an instant, a cultivator turned around and left, unwilling to waste time here. He was also worried that the four major forces would get angry and make him stay.

Once there is one, there will be two. One after another, cultivators kept leaving, and there were fewer and fewer wandering cultivators in the field.

Most of those who stay are those who are unwilling to give up and still have a glimmer of fantasy.

A fiery red light fell from the distance, revealing the figure of Wanyan Fu.

He looked at the fire pit below, frowned, and walked towards the Dragon Wind Gate.

It was as if it had penetrated a thin film and disappeared from everyone's sight.

As soon as it appears in the secret realm, people from the Shadow Moon Sect will come up.

"Jun Lin, has this formation been broken?"

The latter nodded:
"That's right. Under the leadership of Senior Wang, the puppet formation has been broken. Jun Lin then informed Senior Brother."
