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

Chapter 153 Hitting a wall
Song Linfang chuckled, knowing that Wang Qianxi had misunderstood the relationship between her and Wei Zhong.

"Sister Wang, you misunderstood. Wei Zhong is a third-level alchemist. He has traded elixirs with me several times. One of the elixirs I traded saved my life and indirectly saved the entire Zhigang Palace.

In addition, the quality of the pills he refined was good, so I kept trading pills with him at Gang Palace. Over time, we developed a good relationship. "

Look up at Wei Zhong:

"And this person is also a guest of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

As expected, Wang Qianxi saw Miao Lishan moving towards Wei Zhong, who bowed and respectfully addressed him as "Senior Miao".

"Guest of the Chamber of Commerce," Wang Qianxi frowned, secretly feeling that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was really omnipresent and people from the Chamber of Commerce could be seen everywhere.

But no one knows more about the connection between Wei Zhong and Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

It was Wang Lihua who knew that Wei Zhong was valued by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. However, this news did not reach Wan Qianxi's ears, so the latter did not think much about it.

He looked at Wei Zhong for a few seconds and then looked away.

"I didn't expect that it would be Senior Miao who would come to this banquet this time."

"With the appearance of a new Nascent Soul, Yunji Chamber of Commerce has to express its gratitude. Such trivial matters naturally fall on me, a small early Nascent Soul."

After taking a look at the two people around Wei Zhong:
"You are at ease, enjoying yourself, attending banquets with your wives and concubines."

Wei Zhong laughed awkwardly a few times, and the two girls behind him had already bowed slightly to Miao Lishan and addressed him as "senior".

The other party nodded slightly in greeting, chatted with Wei Zhong for a few words, and then returned to the other two Nascent Soul female cultivators.

Wei Zhong had been sitting there for only a moment when he heard that two other Nascent Soul forces had arrived. The first was the Shadow Moon Sect, who took out a fourth-tier magic sword as a gift. Song Linfang came out of the hall to greet them.

But when the visitor entered the hall, Wei Zhong saw that the other party was a late Jindan cultivator with an unfamiliar appearance.

"It seems that not everyone values ​​Song Linfang as a Nascent Soul, so the Shadow Moon Sect has been quite perfunctory."

The next to come was the Red Flame Society. This force was even more perfunctory than the Shadow Moon Sect. They merely took out a piece of fourth-tier spiritual jade which was of little use. The visitors were only in the middle stage of the Core Formation stage.

Although Song Linfang had some objections in her heart, the other party ultimately represented the Chiyan Society of Yunzhou City, a Nascent Soul force that was not as powerful as the Gang Palace even if they had to flatter them.

I had to maintain superficial politeness.

Soon after the representatives of the four Nascent Soul forces arrived, a banquet was immediately held at Gang Palace.

During the banquet, Wei Zhong was nonchalant and dismissed many sect members and even independent cultivators who tried to take this opportunity to establish friendship with him.

It was because he was worried about the puppet in the cave that had not been completed yet.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Wei!"

A man walked towards Wei Zhong and greeted him gently.

Wei Zhong looked up and realized that he was the representative of the Shadow Moon Sect.

With a little doubt in his heart, he stood up and bowed:
"Hello, fellow Taoist, I wonder..."

The latter smiled lightly:
"My last name is Zhou, so you can just call me Fellow Daoist Zhou. I am here to send my regards to you on behalf of Wanyan Zhenchuan from the sect."

"It turned out to be Wanyan Fu."

Ever since the last secret realm mining ended, the elixir trade between Wei Zhong and Wanyan Fu has been interrupted. More than ten years have passed, and it is rare that the other party has not forgotten Wei Zhong and has entrusted the elders of the sect to come and say hello.

"Wanyan Zhenchuan highly praised Daoyou's alchemy skills. I didn't believe it at first. But after coming to Luohe Prefecture, I learned about Daoyou's great reputation among the cultivators in this prefecture."

"It's just a way to make a living and earn some false reputation..."

After chatting with Wei Zhong for a few words, the man left, as if he came here just to make himself familiar with the crowd and had no other purpose.

"My husband's name is becoming more and more popular."

"It's just a useless reputation, it can't compare to real strength. If I fight against thieves, who cares if I'm an alchemist or not? The only right way is to improve my cultivation."

Wei Zhong turned his gaze to the three Nascent Soul stage people on the other side and sighed.

"It will take at least a hundred years for Yuanying to mature!"

Others don’t know what Wei Zhong is thinking. If they knew, they would be dumbfounded.

Even Ling Ziwei was moved by the fact that Wei Zhong was stuck in the early stage of Jindan and was unable to break through, so she hurriedly comforted him.

······
After the banquet, Wei Zhong took the two girls away on the Nine-Colored Riding Bike. This time, Wei Zhong was intimidated by the power of his Nascent Soul and only wasted his time attending the banquet.

Compared to this, Wei Zhong still hopes that he can practice well in the cave and tinker with his puppet at the same time.

Once back at Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong announced that he would begin a long period of seclusion, and then said goodbye to the two girls and quickly entered the training room.

Seeing this, Ling Ziwei sighed in her heart: "If my husband fails to reach the middle stage of Jindan this time, he probably won't be able to come out of retreat."

However, Wei Zhong in the cave walked up to a khaki puppet and took out some parts to improve it.

Time flies, and three years have passed.

During this period of time, Wei Zhong refined three puppets, all of which were in the late third stage, and were of earth, metal, and water attributes respectively.

In terms of power, the three are higher than the previous five elements puppets, and only slightly inferior to the silver-white puppet in Wei Zhong's hand.

This gap is only caused by the lack of some fourth-level spiritual materials, and does not have much impact on the strength of the puppet itself.

It is worth mentioning that during this period of time, Wei Zhong's proficiency in the first-order Geng sword technique reached an unparalleled level, and he obtained the fifth magic rune. Wei Zhong engraved it on the three puppets and also filled the five elements puppets in the outside world.

After listening to some news from the outside world and confirming that there were no major changes in Luohe Prefecture, he returned to the cave to go into seclusion.

Meanwhile, in the Zhigang Palace elsewhere in Luohe Prefecture, Song Linfang and Wang Qianxi sat opposite each other, listening to the reports from the cultivators below.

"The direction of the spiritual vein has been roughly determined. After our exploration, we found that there is a high possibility of a fourth-level spiritual land deep in Wuyun Mountain..."

Song Linfang listened quietly to what the people below said, but she was very excited in her heart.

"Since we already have a direction, why don't we go and see it ourselves?"

Wang Qianxi looked at Song Linfang and said this.

"Alright!"

Then the two of them stood up and transformed into a beam of light, heading towards the Wuyun Mountain where a fourth-level spiritual land might exist.

Wuyun Mountain is far away from the Luo River and is some distance away from the entrance to the secret realm. It is a truly desolate mountain.

Following the spiritual vein route explored by their subordinates, the two walked while sensing the fluctuations of spiritual energy, and finally came to the sky above a valley filled with thick fog.

"This is probably the place!" Song Linfang showed some joy on her face.

Wang Qianxi also nodded. The two of them searched all the nearby hills but found nothing. Now this was the only suspicious place left.

"No wonder it's so difficult for my men to find it. The spiritual energy here is affected by the special terrain and leaks out very little."

The two looked at each other, and then fell towards the thick fog below together.

After passing through the fog, a strong spiritual energy suddenly crowded around the two of them.

"It is indeed the location of the fourth-level spiritual land!"

Both women had joy in their eyes. But when they fell into the forest, they seemed to have disturbed a "monster".

A powerful Nascent Soul consciousness spread out from the dense forest ahead.

"Where did you come from, little kid? You have no manners and you dare to trespass into my territory."

The voice rang out in their minds, causing their expressions to change drastically.

The strength of this spiritual consciousness is not only far beyond Song Linfang, but also far beyond that of Wang Qianxi, who has been in the Nascent Soul stage for many years.

'At least the middle stage of Nascent Soul!'

Wang Qianxi made a judgment, quickly took out her own magic weapon to be on guard, and explained aloud.

"Please don't blame me, senior. I am Wang Qianxi from the Wang family in Yunzhou City. I came here with my friends to search for a spiritual place. I never thought that this place was where you were in seclusion. That's why I am offended."

"The Wang family, is that the Wang family where that old man Wang Yonghong is from?"

Wang Qianxi cupped her hands and replied, "That's right."

"Hmph," Tan Tai Lin extended his consciousness and naturally saw the two people in the forest. After seeing Song Linfang's cultivation, he roughly guessed the cause and effect.

"Humph, I'm looking for a spiritual place for the younger generation, and I found the old man."

"Tell Wang Yonghong that I, Tan Tai Lin, have taken over this place. If you are dissatisfied, you can come and ask for advice."

"Senior, you misunderstood. The Wang family had no intention of occupying your territory. This was an accident. I will withdraw now."

Wang Qianxi didn't want to come into conflict with a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator because of Song Linfang and a fourth-tier spiritual land. This would definitely be a losing business for both herself and the Wang family.

Pulling Song Linfang over, the two fled from here together, and only stopped slowly after they were dozens of miles away.

I turned around and looked at the other person, only to see a bitter look on his face.

Song Linfang felt mixed emotions as she found out that the sacred place she had been searching for for so many years had already belonged to someone else.

Wang Qianxi sighed:
"Sister Song, it's not that I won't help you. It's just that the man is too powerful, at least in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even if you and I go into battle together, I'm afraid we will be defeated."

In the Nascent Soul realm, the gap between each level is extremely large. If two early Nascent Soul cultivators do not have special means, they will most likely be defeated when facing a mid-stage cultivator.

Even if Wang Qianxi has the power of formation, how can she guarantee that the other party has no other means?

Besides, Wang Qianxi had no intention of fighting with him.

'The other party called me by my name directly, so he must be a cultivator of the same generation as me. I just don't know which force he came from, or maybe he is just a casual cultivator?

Tan Tai Lin, this name is a little unfamiliar.'

Wang Qianxi's mind was full of thoughts. She didn't expect that in the wild countryside of Luohe Prefecture, there would be a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Looking down at Song Linfang, he suddenly felt a headache.

'The idea of ​​finding a fourth-level spiritual land for it has failed, and subsequent plans cannot be carried out. It's really troublesome!'

"Sister Song, how about you return to Gang Palace first, and I'll go to discuss this with the clan's ancestors?"

After hearing this, Song Linfang could only nod and let the other party turn into a beam of light and fly away.

He looked back at Wuyun Mountain, his eyes filled with unwillingness. After hesitating for a moment, he let out a sigh, took a step, and left.

There is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul who even Wang Qianxi doesn't dare to offend, practicing here. What can Song Linfang, who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, do?
No matter how unwilling you are, you have to keep it in your heart and swallow it.

The news that the Zhigang Palace and the Wang family had failed in their joint search for the spiritual land was only known to a few Nascent Soul cultivators from the two families and had not spread among the people.

Yunzhou City, Wang Family.

Wang Yonghong, who was sitting in the main seat, listened to what Wang Qianxi said, nodded slowly, and said:
"Don't mess with Tan Tai Lin. My Wang family can't afford to offend him."

Wang Qianxi looked up in confusion, thinking to herself, could this person be stronger than the ancestor?

As if he had seen through what was in his mind, Wang Yonghong added:

"Tan Tai Lin became famous earlier, so it's normal that you don't know him.

This person is a casual cultivator with a bloodthirsty and aggressive personality. Unlike the youngsters vying for fame in Shadow Moon Sect, this person truly enjoys the fun of fighting and is a complete 'madman'.

In his early years, he was active in Yunzhou City, but because of his cruel methods, he was jointly driven out by the forces of the prefecture and state.

After that, he worked hard in the Western Desert for many years and achieved the Nascent Soul stage. He was honored as the Blood Shura by the Western Desert practitioners. "

"Blood Shura?"

“This all starts with the technique he practices. This person practices the Blood Path. The source of the technique is unknown, but it is a pure Blood Path spiritual technique, not an evil technique.

He is a man of bloody means, extremely powerful, and with his extraordinary fighting sense, he has few rivals at the same level."

"How does the ancestor compare to this person?"

"When I was building my foundation, I was a little stronger than him."

Wang Qianxi just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him add:

"But at that time, I was a physical cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, while the other party had just entered the middle stage of foundation building."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qianxi's breathing suddenly stopped.

"Relying on my realm advantage, I am only slightly stronger than this person. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the other party has also achieved the sound of Yuanying. From what you said, it seems that he is still in the middle stage of Yuanying, and his realm is similar to mine.

If the two of us fight again, the outcome is hard to predict."

"The middle stage of foundation building is only slightly weaker than the old ancestor's late stage of foundation building, isn't this the middle stage of Nascent Soul?"

Wang Qianxi's thoughts were churning in her mind, and at the same time, she recalled the conflict she had with him, and suddenly felt a little scared.

"Haha, after all, Tan Tai Lin is just an independent cultivator, fighting alone, so you don't have to be afraid of him.

In addition, this person's cultivation progress is not fast, probably because of limited talent. Your water-type spiritual roots are much better than his, and your potential is even greater."

Having said this, Wan Yonghong stood up, walked to the front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue sky above his head:
"For cultivators of my generation, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is a great fortune, and reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage is a long way off. If we cannot reach that stage, we can only endure the Nascent Soul stage. After nearly a thousand years of cultivation, I wonder how many of my peers will die from endurance.

Qianxi, you are very young. The middle stage of the Nascent Soul is far from the end for you. The late stage or even the Spiritualization stage is your true destination."

Wang Qianxi took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Ancestor. Qianxi understands."

Wang Yonghong then turned around and smiled slightly.

"Yes, and bring some gifts. I'm going to meet him."

"What is this, ancestor?"

Wang Yonghong waved his hand:
"It's just a greeting between old friends. I have no intention of engaging in a fight with him.

This time you intruded into their territory, and it was ultimately impolite of my royal family.

Tan Tai Lin is a country bumpkin and has no idea of ​​decency, but my Wang family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, cannot do that.

Prepare a small gift to express your apology, and at the same time warn the other party not to attack anyone from my Wang family without reason."
