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

Chapter 173 The Evil Intentions of the Alien Cultivators
Wei Zhong and Wanyan Fu attended several exchange meetings together.

Most of them were hosted by the Wang family, with dozens of Jindan cultivators participating in each event.

Wei Zhonghao actually saw a lot of good stuff at the exchange meeting. He frequently made purchases based on his own accumulation, which made Wanyan Fu, the true disciple of Shadow Moon Sect, very envious.

"Fellow Daoist Wei has so many magical instruments in his hands?"

Wanyan Fu couldn't help but ask as he looked at Wei Zhong who had reaped a lot of rewards.

Cheng Ruirui, who was standing by, also came closer out of curiosity.

Wei Zhong laughed and said:

"There are only a dozen magical instruments, all of which were made using various spiritual materials in my spare time."

Wei Zhong stayed in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce for half a year. During this period, he verified the theory with practice and not only refined two fourth-level magic weapons, but also refined more than twenty third-level magic weapons.

Moreover, each piece is of high quality, and Wei Zhong is known as a fourth-rank weapon refiner, so the magic weapons are extremely popular at the exchange fair.

Wanyan Fu could only envy this situation.

He packed up the various spiritual items he had exchanged for, most of which were spiritual medicines and some magical spells.

Unfortunately, it did not contain the method to stimulate the growth of spiritual plants that Wei Zhong needed.

The things that can be accessed at the Jindan level are limited, and the highest secret method of inducing childbirth that Wei Zhong has seen during this period is only up to five thousand years.

Those of higher years are indeed beyond the reach of Jindan cultivators.

Wei Zhong could only sigh and think about how to get the secret method that Cheng Ruirui mentioned from the Shadow Moon Sect.

"Brother Wei, the banquet is about to begin, so the two of us will leave first. See you then.

"Also, regarding the 80,000 spiritual stones that Brother Wei lent me, I will definitely make up for it in the next few years."

Wei Zhong nodded and waved goodbye to the two.

Wei Zhong returned to the courtyard along the same path he came from.

Suddenly I realized someone was following me on the road and I couldn't help but frown.

"This is the core area of ​​the Wang family. Is there anyone who dares to rob us?"

Wei Zhong concealed his breath and went deep into an alley.

Behind him, a young monk in brown shorts went deep into the room in a panic. He was only in the early stage of foundation building, and he looked annoyed as he saw the deserted alley.

After wandering in the alley for a while, he left reluctantly.

Wei Zhong hid himself in the alley and kept his breath. He saw the other party leave but did not show up.

The presence of tracking that I just detected was not just one.

Sure enough, not long after the young monk left, a middle-aged man walked into the alley.

He frowned deeply:
"Running so fast."

Wei Zhong looked at the other person's clothes. He was wearing a very ordinary black Taoist robe, but his face was very unfamiliar.

Not knowing whether his appearance had been changed, Wei Zhong could only guarantee that he had never seen this face at the exchange meeting.

The slight tingling sensation transmitted by the spiritual perception technique made Wei Zhong realize that this person was not simple.

'It is very likely that he is at the late stage of Jindan cultivation and has ill intentions towards me.'

'Who is this person?'

In any case, Wei Zhong felt that the other party was too bold.

At this moment, there are hundreds of fellow Jindan practitioners from various major forces gathered on Yunhai Peak.

As long as they dare to stir up unrest, these visitors can easily besiege them to death without the Wang family's Yuanying taking action.

Wei Zhong couldn't figure it out, and then he saw the other party waving his sleeves to perform two wind blade spells, which weakly cut through the breeze in the alley, and then turned and left.

Wei Zhong had no intention of following. It didn’t matter whether the other party was after money or was targeting the Wang family.

As long as it does not affect Wei Zhong's interests, Wei Zhong will not care.

After twists and turns along the alley, Wei Zhong returned to the courtyard.

The black-robed man on the other side fled all the way into another courtyard.

Pushing open a gate, there were already many people waiting there.

After entering the courtyard and closing the gate, I heard someone inside say:
"Fang Jie, you are late."

The black-robed monk turned around and realized that it was the old man sitting in the main seat who was speaking.

A flattering smile appeared on his face:

"Haha, I saw an interesting spiritual object and had a fight with the seller for a while. I kept Mr. You waiting for a long time."

But the old man surnamed You's attitude did not ease after this explanation. He stared blankly at Fang Jie behind the door until he felt uneasy.

This lasted for a full hundred breaths, and the courtyard was completely silent. The others who were seated did not dare to make a sound to break the silence, and lowered their heads to wait for the old man to deal with it.

Fang Jie was sweating profusely, and his close-fitting clothes were soaked.

Just when Fang Jie thought he was doomed, the old man surnamed You said:

"sit!"

He felt relieved and took a staggering step to sit in the lower seat.

The old man surnamed You looked around at the people around him and said without much emotion:

"I don't want anyone to affect the overall situation for a little profit at this time.

“Opportunities don’t come easily, so please cherish them.

"If anyone can't control their hands, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

"Yes!"

……

Wei Zhong had only been meditating in the courtyard for half a minute when Miaoli Shan returned.

Looking at Miaoli Shan, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, Wei Zhong couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Miao, do you know which Nascent Soul is coming from the Shadow Moon Sect this time?"

Miaoli Shan looked at Wei Zhong strangely, not knowing why he asked this question, but still answered:

"A cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage named Che Kunlin, what happened?"

"Che Kunlin, what a strange name."

"He has been training in another state for nearly one or two hundred years and has only recently returned. It is normal that you don't know his name."

"So he is similar to Elder Yu of our Chamber of Commerce?"

Miaoli Shan sits cross-legged:
"They are about the same, but his strength is far inferior to that of Elder Yu. I heard that the reason he returned to Yunzhou this time was because he had a bad experience in the outside world and returned with serious injuries."

Wei Zhong looked strange, and Miaoli Shan also asked:
"Why do you ask that?"

Wei Zhong had no choice but to explain the reasons, which included his encounters with Wanyan Fu and Cheng Ruirui, and the fact that the Shadow Moon Sect had a secret technique that he needed.

"A method to induce the birth of spiritual plants? I have indeed heard that the Shadow Moon Sect has a high-level method to induce birth, but it is said that the cost of using it is extremely high. Even within the Shadow Moon Sect, it is shelved and rarely used."

"Oh, Senior Miao, do you know his name?"

Miaoli Shan shook his head:

"How could I know? What I just said was all hearsay."

Turning his head and glancing at Wei Zhong:

"What is certain is that this method is extremely precious. With your status and wealth, it is not easy to obtain this method from the Shadow Moon Sect."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong sighed again:
"Senior Miao, do you have any ideas?"

“The easiest way is naturally to join the Shadow Moon Sect, become its disciple, and then accumulate enough contribution points in exchange.

“However, in recent years, you have been deeply marked with the logo of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and the Shadow Moon Sect will not accept you!
"Other than that, I guess the only option is to use the exchange of benefits and offer something that will be attractive to the Shadow Moon Sect. But this approach is too difficult for you."

The Shadow Moon Sect is a major Nascent Soul sect, with a great Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. With thousands of years of accumulation, it is natural that the sect is extremely wealthy.

It would be difficult for even a Yuanying to impress such a huge monster! Wei Zhong recalled the white jade token in his hand. Among the people registered in it, there might be people from the Shadow Moon Sect.

'I have been trying to buy it, but I have not received a reply from him. Maybe the fourth-level elixir does not impress him at all.'

"The Shadow Moon Sect has no shortage of fourth-level alchemists or fourth-level weapon refiners. These two skills of mine are completely useless!"

Wei Zhong became worried.

Seeing Wei Zhong like this, Miaoli Shan joked:
"Why? Do you have some rare treasure in your hand? You need such a high-level secret method. The several spiritual plant birth-inducing techniques in the Chamber of Commerce are not enough for you?"

Wei Zhong relaxed his brows:
"I have a really good thing in my hand, and I need a way to bring it into being."

Miaoli Shan came closer curiously:

"Isn't it a ten thousand year old spiritual plant? Can you show it to me?"

Wei Zhong moved his legs back, increasing the distance between himself and Miaoli Shan.

Miaoli Shan curled his lips, knowing that Wei Zhong had no intention of sharing the secret with him.

He stood up and stretched himself:
"If you really want to get this method, you might as well ask the master for help. Only a Nascent Soul cultivator like this might be able to complete this transaction.

"But the cost is something you need to consider carefully."

After leaving these words, Miaoli Shan turned around and walked away, entering the room in the courtyard.

Wei Zhong frowned deeply in the front yard.

'Go for a single interpretation?'

Wei Zhong was absolutely unwilling to do that.

As a force that started out in the art of alchemy and weapons, Wei Zhong didn't believe that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was not tempted by this high-level method of promoting the creation of spiritual plants.

The reason why it was not exchanged from the Shadow Moon Sect was probably because the cost and benefits were seriously disproportionate, which was why the Yunji Chamber of Commerce gave up this idea.

"Let yourself speak for yourself?"

How could Wei Zhong have the nerve to do that?

Rubbing his eyebrows, Wei Zhong felt a headache.

'After this banquet, find an opportunity to test the Shadow Moon Sect. If that fails, then wait for the Silver Sky Jade Dew from Frost Wuling Mountain to fall from the sky in a few decades.'

'Anyway, my cultivation is still far from the stage of Nascent Soul.

'Before the infant is formed, it will take time to improve the level of the spiritual roots. There is no need to rush to develop the fourth-level puppet.'

Wei Zhong calmed down his emotions, chose an empty room, and began to count his gains...

Yunhai Peak, where Yingyue Sect and others are.

Wanyan Fu and the other two turned around and saw Che Kunlin who had already returned.

"Uncle Che," Cheng Ruirui walked up happily and showed him her harvest.

"This bracelet was bought by my senior brother for Ruirui, and this bangle..."

After hearing his story, Che Kunlin nodded slowly, his eyes full of doting.

When he finished speaking, he took out a jade hairpin and handed it to her:
"This is the gift Uncle Che prepared for Ruirui!"

"Thank you uncle..."

The two talked for a while, and then Cheng Ruirui withdrew, leaving Wanyan Fu and Che Kunlin in the courtyard.

Che Kunlin stroked the short beard on his chin and said to Wanyan Fu:
"Rui Rui is ignorant of worldly affairs, and needs your care, Wanyan."

"Uncle Master, please be polite. This is what I should do as a senior brother."

Although Wanyan Fu's words were generous and magnanimous, a trace of pain appeared on his face from time to time.

Even if this expression was fleeting, how could Che Kunlin, a Nascent Soul cultivator, not notice it?
"Forget it, forget it. When we return to the sect, I will ask the headmaster to compensate you for your losses."

Wanyan Fu then showed his delight and bowed:

"Thank you, uncle!"

Che Kunlin waved his hand to signal him not to be so polite.

Wanyan Fu raised his head cheerfully, and then said seriously:

"Uncle Master, when Ruirui and I returned just now, the Fire Spirit Fan reacted, as if someone was following us.

"Oh?"

Che Kunlin frowned:
"Can you find out his identity?"

Wan Yanfu shook his head:
"No, I was worried about my junior sister's safety, so I took her back directly."

"In this Wang family's heartland, is there anyone who dares to do something bad?"

Che Kunlin rubbed his chin.

Wanyan Fu thought for a while:
"Perhaps he is from the Wang family?"

"Impossible, given the character of the old man from the Wang family, it is impossible for him to do something that would offend the other three families.

"It is most likely that some other force is behind this, but who is it?"

Wanyan Fu was also confused.

"No matter what, it's always better to be careful. During this time, take good care of Ruirui and make sure she doesn't get hurt."

Wanyan Fu bowed and replied:

"Disciple obeys the orders of Uncle Master."

Che Kunlin still felt something was wrong, so he raised his hand and threw out a golden talisman.

Wanyan Fu took it hurriedly, saw the fine spiritual patterns on the talisman, and felt its spiritual pressure, his face was shocked.

"Take this exquisite diamond talisman and use it with your junior sister for self-defense."

This talisman is of the fourth level and is one of the finest.

The Nascent Soul magic power can block at least three full-strength attacks from cultivators of the same level. For Che Kunlin, who is a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, it is extremely precious and can be called a life-saving item.

Even if it was performed by a Jindan cultivator like Wanyan Fu, it could at least block a blow from a Yuanying cultivator.

"Uncle Master, I still have the Master's sword in my hand..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Che Kunlin:

"If my senior brother's sword is still used to attack, it will not be enough to protect you. Ruirui's safety is of great importance and we must not be negligent."

Wanyan Fu stopped arguing, stuffed the talisman into his arms, and replied:

"Yes!"

The sun set and rose three times, and three days passed. The Wang family ceremony finally began at this moment.

Standing in the small courtyard of Yunhai Peak, Wei Zhong could see from afar the brilliant spells cast by the Wang family hanging in the air, and feel the rising atmosphere of joy from the Wang family.

"As expected of a Nascent Soul family, the cost of hosting this banquet alone must be no less than several hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Miaoli Shan came over from behind:

"It's not that exaggerated. This display is mostly maintained by the spells cast by the cultivators in the clan, and the spiritual objects consumed are probably only tens of thousands of spiritual stones."

"Even so, it shows how wealthy the Wang family is."

"Haha, this is nothing. I heard that the Wang family got a fourth-level spiritual bird from somewhere, and there will probably be fourth-level spiritual bird meat at this banquet."

"A fourth-level spiritual bird? How could the Wang family be willing to kill such a precious creature and eat its meat?"

The fourth-level demon beast is equivalent to the human Yuanying spiritual cultivation. If it can be tamed, it will have the combat power of a Yuanying. The Wang family actually slaughtered it and ate its meat. It is really...

"Who knows, maybe the Wang family wanted to show off their strength, or maybe they just couldn't stop themselves when they captured it and killed it.

"Afterwards, it was natural to serve it as a spiritual food at the banquet, which not only won the favor of the guests, but also..."

Wei Zhong recalled the person who followed him that day, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
