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

Chapter 144: God Splitting
Jie Yuanrui and Wei Zhong talked a lot, including the drawbacks of the puppet inheritance and its accompanying secret alchemy method, as well as the techniques and key points of the fourth-level alchemy.

Of course, the most talked about thing is longevity.

He told Wei Zhong not to indulge in minor matters such as elixirs and tools, but to focus on cultivation. After reaching the peak of Jindan, he could go to Yunji Chamber of Commerce, where he had prepared an opportunity for Wei Zhong to form an Infant Soul.

Wei Zhong felt a little confused and didn't know why Jie Yuanrui was so nice to him.

Until the other party was about to leave, he said:
"If you have some spare time, then go to the Chamber of Commerce and become a fourth-level alchemist. Although Shan Gu is an old stubborn man, he has always been good to his subordinates.

It won’t hurt you to join Yunji Chamber of Commerce completely.

Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine. You can take the opportunity. You can pay it back when you have the chance. Whether it's enough fourth-level elixirs or other spiritual objects, I believe the Shan family will not refuse."

"Well, having said this, I, too, should leave now."

After saying this, he waved to Wei Zhong, turned around, and turned into a ray of light, escaping into the horizon.

Wei Zhong looked at the other person's leaving figure, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Xie Yuanrui helped Wei Zhong a lot. Not only did he teach him how to make alchemy and pass on the puppet inheritance, he even went so far as to secure an opportunity for Wei Zhong to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Wei Zhong knew without thinking how popular such an opportunity was in Yunji Chamber of Commerce. There were many people who had achieved Dan formation in Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and there were also many people who had connections who had achieved Dan formation.

'How much competition should this be? After Xie Yuanrui died, would the Shan family simply hand over the opportunity to me according to his last wishes?'

It's no wonder that Wei Zhong is suspicious. After practicing for nearly two hundred years, Wei Zhong is used to relying on himself and never places his hopes on others.

'Besides, Master Jie's kindness is too great, and I have to find a way to repay it.'

Wei Zhong didn't like to owe others favors, especially such a heavy favor.

Whether it is returning it to the Chamber of Commerce or to the relatives left behind, Wei Zhong must do something, otherwise his idea will not succeed.

"It's a pity that Mr. Jie has gone to another place and has disappeared. Otherwise, I could ask him if he has any descendants. But it would be the same if I asked Shan Qin."

Wei Zhong calmed down, turned around and went back to the cave.

Jie Yuanrui made a long speech, among which the most reasonable point was that cultivation is the most important thing for a cultivator.

The other arts and methods of cultivation are all auxiliary to practice, and should never be neglected for superficial purposes.

Otherwise, your cultivation will not be able to improve, your lifespan will be exhausted, and you will be left with regrets.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhong did not pay much attention to the matter of life span, but paid more attention to cultivation.

"I have the ability to exchange lives for kryptonian-level skills, which is an advantage that other practitioners do not have. Improving cultivation is to enhance one's own strength in order to gain a stable life.

As for elixirs and weapons, they are used to earn money for my practice, and the foundation for accelerating practice cannot be discarded.

I am different from Master Jie. I can improve my cultivation while also improving these minor skills without worrying about the danger to my lifespan. "

Thinking of this, Wei Zhong's consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​consciousness, and he saw the Record of Time sleeping in it. It still looked like an ancient book, without any change.

Of course, the same applies to not being able to be driven by Wei Zhong.

'Krypton-level life-changing, attribute panel, this is definitely a treasure on the time side, and it is of extremely high grade.

Although I cannot actively drive this thing, its two passive abilities can benefit a little monk like me a lot. It is really powerful.'

Wei Zhong has now almost given up the idea of ​​activating this treasure. He had tried it when he used the [Taoism of Time] to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

Still the same, Nascent Soul's magic power has no effect on it.

If the Nascent Soul cannot be achieved, it is probably useless to achieve the Spiritual Transformation.

"The monk's magic power is not enough, is it possible that something else is needed to activate this thing?"

"The power of law?"

Wei Zhong searched his memory a lot, but could only come to this conclusion.

However, all these are just guesses after all. Only by constantly improving your cultivation and strengthening your strength can you uncover this mystery.

"My thunder tribulation is different from that of ordinary people probably because of this. I hope that the next time I advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it won't be too outrageous, otherwise..."

Wei Zhong sighed, then practiced the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" and began his daily practice.

A month later, Shan Qin arrived.

Wei Zhong came forward to receive him and had a detailed discussion with him. He learned from him that after Jie Yuanrui left Qingbo Island, he went to a place called Moyuan and never returned.

He did not leave any soul lamp, life fire or other items in the Chamber of Commerce, and no one knew whether he was dead or not.

However, the news of his departure spread throughout the Chamber of Commerce, and many people believed that he was dead.

For a time, the Chamber of Commerce was in great turmoil within itself and was also under pressure from other forces from the outside.

Shan Qin and his father Shan Gu were both overwhelmed with dealing with such incidents.

Wei Zhong was not at all surprised at this. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator and also a top-level fourth-rank alchemist.

The departure of the other party undoubtedly removed an important leg from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. Under this influence, the Chamber of Commerce's strength was greatly reduced, and it was inevitable that there would be layers of turmoil.

Wei Zhong asked whether Master Jie had any descendants, but Shan Qin shook his head, saying that the other party was obsessed with alchemy and had no offspring.

Shan Qin asked what Jie Yuanrui did when he came to Qingbo Island that day, and Wei Zhong told her most of the details, including the inheritance of puppets and the guidance of alchemy.

Only the chance of Nascent Soul was concealed by Wei Zhong.

"Grandpa Jie really values ​​Wei Zhongni."

A special look appeared in Shan Qin's eyes when she looked at Wei Zhong.

Shan Qin, who grew up under Jie Yuanrui's care, had never seen him being so kind to others.

Not only did he send Wei Zhong a high-level inheritance, he also personally guided him in alchemy.

"Perhaps I saw my own shadow in Wei Zhong."

Wei Zhong talked with Shan Qin for a while, then took out a few fourth-level elixirs and handed over a jade slip.

"I hope Miss Shan can help me exchange some spiritual materials."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you planning to make a puppet?"

Shan Qin frowned:
'Wei Zhong in front of him didn't seem to listen to Grandpa Jie's heartfelt words.'

Wei Zhong didn't care, he smiled and said:

"I am itching to receive this inheritance."

Shan Qin accepted the elixir and jade slip:

"Since this is his own choice, it is not appropriate for me as an outsider to interfere."

But before leaving, he added:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you should focus on your cultivation first. You must not get too involved in the ways of puppets."

"Thank you Miss Shan for your reminder. Wei has his own plans."

Shan Qin frowned even more when she saw Wei Zhong's indifferent expression, and folded her hands:

"The Chamber of Commerce has been in some chaos recently. It may take a long time to collect these spiritual materials. Fellow Daoist Wei may have to wait a little longer."

"It doesn't matter."

······
Wei Zhong watched Shan Qin's departure and thought to himself, "It seems that the other party is unaware that Master Jie has secured a Nascent Soul inheritance for him. The only person who knows the details of this matter is probably the Chamber of Commerce leader Shan Gu."

Wei Zhong didn't know much about him and wasn't sure what kind of person he was.

'Since Mr. Xie trusts him so much, there probably won't be any accidents.

A Nascent Soul inheritance is really important to me. Even if it is not a magical item that allows Jindan cultivators to find the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, it should at least be a means to resist the Nascent Soul's thunder tribulation.'

Wei Zhong's mind was filled with thunder and lightning, and he couldn't bear to give up this opportunity.

"At worst, I can just pay it back when the time comes. Can't my own means be worth a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

'Besides, it is difficult to repay Mr. Jie's kindness.'

Wei Zhong thought so, then sighed and returned to the cave to continue his practice.

In the next year, Wei Zhong successively received various spiritual materials sent by Yan Wanhong and began to refine the puppet.

Wei Zhong was originally a third-rank weapon refiner, and he quickly got the hang of puppets, which were similar to magical instruments.

In just half a year, Wei Zhong had already refined a second-level beast-shaped puppet.

Looking at the wolf-shaped puppet running in front of him, Wei Zhong closed his eyes and thought.

'It is not the spiritual materials that limit the puppet's refining, but the spiritual stones.'

Although the puppet in front of him is of the second level, its internal core is filled with medium-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, this spirit stone cannot keep the opponent moving for long. If a puppet is used to fight, the operation time will be greatly shortened.

Using high-quality spirit stones is a good idea, but it is a bit too wasteful.

Wei Zhong took out the inheritance jade slip, which also recorded two other energy supply plans.

One is to fine-tune its internal structure and use the demon beast's demon pill to drive it. The difficulty of refining this kind of puppet is much greater. Wei Zhong currently does not have the ability to refine this second-level puppet.

The other is the method of refining the spiritual energy core. In Wei Zhong's eyes, it is a special magic weapon that has the ability to absorb spiritual energy, which can be used as an energy reserve when the puppet is operating.

The difficulty of refining this kind of psychic core is even higher, and Wei Zhong needs to spend a lot of time.

Wei Zhong put down the jade slip and took out another jade slip. This was the method of refining the soul that matched the puppet inheritance.

There are three types of puppet control methods according to the traditional records.

One is to use the cultivator's spiritual consciousness to control its movements. This method is the simplest and most direct, and is no different from controlling a magic weapon.

However, there are too many details in the operation of a puppet, and controlling a puppet is much more difficult than controlling an ordinary magical weapon of the same level, and it consumes a greater amount of the cultivator's mind.

Using this method it is impossible to create an army of puppets with a wave of the sleeve.

The second method is to implant a soul into the puppet, which can be either a monster or a cultivator.

The puppets created by this method are not only agile, but also have the fighting experience of the souls in their previous lives. This can be said to be a very cost-effective method.

The only drawback is that the monk needs to have absolute control over the souls in order to prevent the puppets from rebelling.

The last type is to implant the cultivator’s own spirit.

This is the necessity of the soul refining method in hand.

There are few methods to strengthen the spirits in this world. Most cultivators use various spiritual objects to enhance their own spiritual awareness. For example, Wei Zhong takes soul-nourishing pills all year round.

However, this method is often limited by the level of the spiritual object. After it is improved to a certain level, the efficacy will drop sharply and it will be difficult to improve it.

Wei Zhong has probably reached this point at this moment.

From this we can see how precious a book on the art of refining the spirit is.

The soul-refining method on the jade slip in Wei Zhong's hand is called "The Soul-Splitting Method". Just as the name suggests, it is a method of tearing the soul of a cultivator apart and nurturing it.

"Puppets are not only a means to increase strength, but also a purpose to nourish the soul?"

'The two methods complement each other. The spirit controls the puppet, and the puppet strengthens the spirit. When the spirits merge into one, it can strengthen the spirit.'

There is nothing special about the general God-Splitting Technique, and Wei Zhong's Soul-Splitting Stab is one of them.

However, the "Soul-Splitting Technique" is able to keep the intelligence of the separated soul intact, which is the key to controlling the puppet.

“Rather than calling it a method of controlling puppets, it is better to call it a method of incarnation.

Apart from the fact that puppets cannot practice to improve their strength, there is not much difference between them and external incarnations.

Especially the fact that distracted souls have a chance to rebel is very similar."

Wei Zhong couldn't help but complain.

"If you want to use this technique, you need to withdraw your spirit every once in a while to synchronize with it, to avoid the danger of rebellion. Other than that, there are no disadvantages."

Wei Zhong looked at the jade slip. The contents he had silently recited before probably triggered the effect of soul-splitting, which caused him to feel instinctive panic and resist it.

"Dividing the mind to nourish the spirit is indeed a good way to increase the strength of spiritual consciousness."

Whether it is alchemy or refining equipment, it is inseparable from a strong spiritual consciousness. A strong spiritual consciousness can increase the success rate of refining.

It is also extremely effective in fighting magic, in terms of casting speed, number of controlled magic tools, and sophistication, etc.

It even helps in breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.

The benefits of having a strong spiritual awareness are self-evident.

All in all, Wei Zhong had to practice this "God-Splitting Method".

"How can a little distraction rebel in my hands?"

Wei Zhong has the [Taoism of Time] in his hand, even the clone controlling a third-level puppet would not be a match for Wei Zhong.

If the other party rebels, just suppress them forcefully.

As for the possibility of leaking one's own secrets by dividing one's mind, just don't divide such memories.

This "God-Splitting Technique" is of extraordinary value in Wei Zhong's hands.

“In order to nourish the split spirit and the split spirit, a puppet of at least the third level is needed. In addition, the refining of the spiritual energy core must also be put on the agenda.

This is another big project that takes a long time!
No wonder Master Jie told me not to indulge in this kind of trick, because any skill consumes a lot of time to practice. "

Wei Zhong was thinking this in his mind as he took out various spiritual materials and began to figure out how to refine the puppet.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Zhong practiced while pondering the ways of alchemy, weapon refining and puppetry.

His cultivation level was improving steadily, and his alchemy skills were also improving rapidly after absorbing Li Yuanrui's teachings. His weapon refining skills showed signs of breaking through to the fourth level.

As for the art of puppetry, Wei Zhong was now able to complete the external refining of a third-order puppet, except for the third-order psychic core, which still required time to refine.

Since the puppet that nourishes the split spirit has not been successfully refined, there is no reason to practice the "God-Splitting Method".

After three years of hard training, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion and left.

Have some fun with Xie Linghua and Ling Ziwei, and listen to their recent experiences.

"Song Linfang, you haven't shown up for a long time?"
