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

Chapter 166 Fame
He now only has nearly four thousand strands of Gang Qi, but he has a hundred Gang Seals corresponding to the Nascent Soul level.

"Could it be that the huge number of Gangyins triggered the so-called Nascent Soul's magical properties?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of what Tao Ming had said.

While the two were talking, the formation above their heads had been completely lifted, and many people poured in.

Seeing Xun Yangzi's miserable state, his face changed. He turned to Wei Zhong again, all of them were horrified.

"Who on earth is this Wei Keqing? How could he be so cruel in the fight?"

Although these were words of questioning, to ordinary people they sounded like indescribable pride and gloating.

Xun Yangzi is an outsider after all. He was still speaking so arrogantly after defeating Yu Ziming from the Weapon Hall just now, which has caused dissatisfaction among many disciples of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, Wei Zhong, as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce and a well-deserved member of the Chamber of Commerce, defeated Xun Yangzi and earned countless face for the Chamber of Commerce.

"Fool! Xun Yangzi's serious injury is not a good thing for our Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

He had already figured out the key points of this fight. It would be a good thing if the Chamber of Commerce won, but it would be a very bad thing if Xun Yangzi was seriously injured to such an extent.

For a moment, everyone had different expressions, and they looked at Wei Zhong with some suspicion.

"Could this fellow Daoist surnamed Wei be a spy sent by other forces?"

If Wei Zhong knew that people around him had such thoughts, he would definitely be at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It was clearly a simple fight, but it led to such a misunderstanding.

Shan Qin stood up and dispersed the crowd:
"I have given Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi a fourth-level precious pill. His injuries are fine. Please don't stand around here. We should go and ask Elder Du from the Alchemy Hall to come and help."

"You call this a minor injury!"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Shan. I have already sent a message to the Dan Palace. I believe Elder Du will be here soon," Yu Ziming stood up.

Shan Qin couldn't help but nodded.

Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao, who were rushing to the fighting arena not far away, suddenly felt the mountains beneath their feet shake violently, and their faces changed.

"How can this be called a fight? Is it an external enemy attacking our Yunji Chamber of Commerce?"

He flew away directly, ignoring the verbal ban that prohibited him from leaving the core area of ​​the meeting.

During special periods of time, this ban can be ignored.

At the same time, the weapon-refining monks in the Earth Fire branch also suffered bad luck.

Affected by this, the magic weapon in his hand that he had worked so hard on was half destroyed in the blink of an eye. Although he didn't need to collect spiritual materials to refine it again, he still needed to refine the magic weapon in his hand again before he could continue.

The amount of spirit stones consumed is not much, but a lot of energy is required.

For a moment, they came out of their respective refining rooms with complaints and looked at each other.

They all came out of the underground fire veins and went to the outside world to inquire about the outside world.

"It's bad, it's bad, the visitor from Puyang family was seriously injured by my Chamber of Commerce's guest and fell into a coma!"

Xun Yangzi had a special identity, so naturally the news spread mainly focused on his serious injuries.

As for the culprit Wei Zhong, he is rarely mentioned in rumors.

Although Shan Qin intended to disperse the Chamber of Commerce disciples who gathered at the fighting arena, as the rumor spread more and more, more people came to watch the fun.

At this time, Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao finally arrived.

Looking at the large number of monks gathered in front of him, the bad thoughts in his mind became more and more serious.

He pushed through the crowd, stepped inside, and finally saw the unconscious Xun Yangzi.

They all looked shocked:

"what happened?"

Wei Zhong raised his head and looked at the two of them. He saw that they had extraordinary demeanor and the disciples around them looked at them with awe, so he knew that these two people had extraordinary status.

Sure enough, Shan Qin's voice rang in Wei Zhong's ears:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, these two people are named Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao. They are two fourth-rank weapon refiners in my weapon hall..."

Wei Zhong took the initiative to stand up and bowed:

“Greetings to you two fellow Taoists. My name is Wei Zhong, and I am honored to be a guest of the Chamber of Commerce.

Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi is in this state because I was unable to distinguish the severity of the situation during the battle..."

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, the two of them looked extremely ugly, especially the leader Huang Yunqi, who did not have a good face at all towards Wei Zhong.

The first thing you see is accountability:

“Brother Wei, don’t you know the identity of Brother Xun Yangzi? Now that you have severely injured him, how are you going to explain this to the Chamber of Commerce?”

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shan Qin:
“Elder Huang, this matter has its own arrangements, so I won’t bother you with the question of accountability.

"Besides, Wei Keqing has already given Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi the Dixuan Pill to stabilize his injuries. He will be fine after receiving some treatment."

"Earth Profound Pill?"

As a famous fourth-level healing elixir, Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao knew its name, and they even had a few in their hands to save their lives.

But how could this guest official Wei have the ability to produce such an expensive elixir?

For a moment, the looks the two men gave Wei Zhong changed.

"Could it be that this guest official Wei has some hidden identity?"

Before the two of them could think, a figure flew in the air and landed in front of everyone. It was Du Longfeng, the manager of the Dan Palace who was invited by the disciples of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Hello, Senior Du!"

Everyone present greeted him politely, but the latter simply waved his hand and walked in front of Wei Zhong and the other two.

He leaned over to look at Xun Yangzi and couldn't help but frowned:
"How did it become like this?"

Wei Zhong smiled bitterly. Anyone who came here would ask a question in this situation.

Shan Qin helped to explain when she saw Wei Zhong was embarrassed. While she was speaking, Du Longfeng had already grabbed Xun Yangzi's wrist with his hand, and his powerful Nascent Soul consciousness probed into his body and began to check his injuries.

After a moment, the spiritual consciousness withdrew.

"Elder Du, how is Fellow Daoist Xun Yangzi?"

The latter replied:

“I’m in good condition. Although I was seriously injured, I used this Dixuan Pill at the right time. It prevented my injuries from getting worse and also repaired a lot of them.

"Although he is still in a coma, it is not serious. He will wake up in a few days. He will only need to take some medicinal pills to recuperate for a period of time and he will recover."

After hearing the answer from this authoritative fourth-rank alchemist, Shan Qin felt relieved.

Du Longfeng glanced at Shan Qin, then glanced at the unfamiliar Wei Zhong:
“This person’s injuries are minor, but Shan girl, you still need to consider the matter of accountability.

"The guest from Puyang was seriously injured in my Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and was injured in a fight between my guest officials. This is a difficult matter both internally and externally."

Shan Qin lowered his head and pondered, and he understood the bad influence of this matter.

"If it is based on Wei Zhong's identity, father can still suppress this matter in the Chamber of Commerce. But it is not so easy to explain to the Puyang family. If the other family holds the accountable, the Chamber of Commerce will most likely bleed."

"Thank you, Elder Du, for your reminder. I will have to trouble Elder Du again with the matter of Brother Xun Yangzi's treatment."

"It's just my job!"

Du Longfeng nodded, took Xun Yangzi from the two men, and turned into a beam of light and headed towards the Dan Palace.

Shan Qin looked at Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao in front of him and said, "The two elders please leave first. I still have to report this matter to the chairman of the association."

Seeing that there was still some worry in the two people's eyes, Shan Qin immediately added:
"Don't worry, the two of us are responsible for this matter, and the Qi Palace will not be implicated."

After saying this, he wanted to pull Wei Zhong away with him.

But suddenly she heard Wei Zhong's voice transmission, and Shan Qin's eyes showed a strange look, and she replied in voice transmission:
"There is no rush for this matter. Let's go see the leader first."

Then he left this place with Wei Zhong.

The real owner had already left, so there was no reason for the onlookers from the Chamber of Commerce to stay here, so they all dispersed.

Only Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao stood there, watching Shan Qin and Wei Zhong's departing backs, thinking constantly in their hearts.

"Brother Xuanzhao, have you noticed that Shan Yatou is protecting this guest official Wei?"

Zhuge Zhao nodded:
"What do you mean, Mr. Huang?"

Huang Yunqi narrowed his eyes:

“Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard that our Chamber of Commerce has produced a fourth-level alchemist? Moreover, this alchemist is extremely mysterious, and we still don’t know his identity.

"It is rumored that he is a free cultivator wandering outside the palace, and this guest official Wei brought out the Dixuan Pill."

"Do you think this guest Wei is this person?"

Huang Yunqi shook his head:
"It's just a guess, not certain. After all, even though you and I have reached the stage of forming a pill, we would keep one on us to save our lives.

"This person possesses the Dixuan Pill, so it's not surprising if this is his purpose."

Zhuge Zhao's eyes flickered with a divine light, and it was unknown what he was thinking, which eventually turned into a long sigh:
"There are successors in the Dan Palace, but in the Qi Palace, there are only two old guys like us."

Although both of them are fourth-rank weapon refiners, they have no hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they use elixirs to push their cultivation to the late Jindan stage, their lifespan will only be five or six hundred years.

There is a huge gap between this and the Nascent Soul cultivators who can live for a thousand years.

The two have been practicing till now, and although the art of refining weapons is profound and takes a lot of time, they are both over 400 years old, and their remaining life span is only a hundred years.

However, within the Equipment Hall, not many of the monks there have the hope of reaching the level of fourth-rank equipment refiners.

The most likely people are even about the same age as the two of them, and are not capable of taking on the responsibility of inheriting the Weapon Palace.

And the younger generation also has little hope.

"If this continues, the inheritance of my Qi Palace will be in danger of being cut off!"

"I hope that by then, the leader will be able to come out again and support the burden of the Chamber of Commerce's Equipment Hall!"

The two of them sighed and returned to the Puppet Hall.

······
On the other side, Wei Zhong and Shan Qin, who had left the fighting arena, quickly left the Chamber of Commerce formation and flew towards Xiaohe Mountain.

Hearing Shan Qin's voice transmission, Wei Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"I didn't expect that the leader is actually a senior weapon refiner."

The reason why Wei Zhong hesitated when he was leaving just now was because he had damaged Xun Yangzi's magic weapon. He happened to see two weapon refiners, Huang Yunqi and Zhuge Zhao, coming to his house, so he wanted to use their hands to repair the magic weapon.

Although Wei Zhong himself had refined a fourth-tier magic sword, he was not proficient in the art of refining weapons, and was not sure if he could repair the fourth-tier treasure fan.

"The reason why I call the Yunji Chamber of Commerce the two major halls of alchemy and weapon is because of my father and Grandpa Jie. They are both involved in the art of refining weapons and alchemy, and together they support the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

“It’s just that in the past hundred years, the Chamber of Commerce has gradually gotten on the right track, so it has hidden behind the scenes, rarely taking action, and no longer interfering with the affairs of the Pill and Weapon Palaces.

"Therefore, apart from a few high-ranking officials, few people know about this title."

Wei Zhong nodded.

While the two were talking, they were already approaching Xiaohe Mountain and the Jinpingfang Market next to it.

Fall to the foot of the mountain and walk up according to the rules.

This time, Shan Qin just knocked on the wooden door lightly, and it was pulled open by an invisible hand.

As if he had anticipated their arrival, Shan Gu sat in the courtyard, sipping tea:

"As soon as I came to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, I caused such a commotion. It's really a great skill."

Obviously, Shan Gu, who was sitting on Xiaohe Mountain, already knew what had just happened in the Chamber of Commerce.

His tone was calm, and Wei Zhong did not hear any blame in it.

However, Shan Qin on the side became a little anxious and pulled Wei Zhong over to explain her purpose.

"Is the Nascent Soul magical instrument damaged? Take it out and let us see."

Wei Zhong took out the bent iron fan and three flying blades from his arms.

It was the first time that Shan Qin saw this damaged magic weapon, and she moved her head closer to it out of curiosity.

As an experienced weapon refiner, Shan Gu could tell at a glance that this magic weapon was of high quality. After a quick inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up at Wei Zhong, with a strange look in his eyes:
"What means did you use to destroy this magical weapon to this extent?"

Wei Zhong smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"I didn't do it on purpose, it was really...

"If I had known how powerful this move was, I would not have used it in this early stage of Jindan battle. It would not have caused such an embarrassing situation."

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, Shan Qin asked curiously:
"Father, what level of attack would have such an effect?"

In the Chamber of Commerce, as a public entity, one must address the other as the president, but in private, as they are father and daughter, one naturally has to address the other as father.

"Nascent Soul level."

Shan Qin was extremely surprised, and Wei Zhong's expression also changed for a moment, as if what he was thinking was confirmed.

Shan Qin turned to look at Wei Zhong beside her, totally confused as to why Wei Zhong, who was in the early stage of Jindan, could have such a powerful means of attack.

Shan Qin was curious, and so was Shan Gu. However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he understood the ways of the world better and had no intention of questioning Wei Zhong's methods.

After practicing for a hundred years, who doesn’t have some little secrets?

However, Wei Zhong did not have any hidden intentions here. He bluntly stated that it was his own method of physical cultivation and pointed out the source of the technique.

"The Zhigang Palace's "Forging Gang Method"?"

Dan Gu's face showed thoughtfulness:

"I never thought that this small Jindan force would have such a powerful martial arts inheritance."

The "Refining Gang Method" is somewhat famous, but in the eyes of Nascent Soul cultivators, it has its limitations after all. At most, it is just a slightly stronger body refining technique that has the hope of entering the fourth level.

As a Nascent Soul who has been practicing for seven or eight hundred years and has lived longer than a Jindan cultivator, Dan Gu has seen all kinds of scenes.

"You naturally practiced this method and were able to touch upon the magical power characteristics of the Nascent Soul. It seems that we have greatly underestimated this method.

“From this, it seems that Fellow Daoist Song, who is about to enter the Wang family, is not an ordinary Yuanying. His skills are probably much better than those of his peers.”

"What does father mean?"

“It’s just raising the threat level, what else can we do?
“With the power of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce, there is no need to worry about this person.

“Compared to this, I am somewhat curious about this Nascent Soul attack.”

Shan Gu looked at Wei Zhong with a somewhat inquiring look.

Wei Zhong immediately understood what the other party meant. He wanted to test his own level.
