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

Chapter 185: Soul-Replenishing Secret Record
Miaoli Shan's advancement to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul did cause quite a stir in Yunzhou City.

Not only the Wang family, but also the Shadow Moon Sect and the Red Flame Society were all amazed that the strength of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce had increased again.

"It hasn't been long since Jie Yuanrui left, and the strength of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce has weakened a bit.

“There is another younger generation coming to take up the position. Miaoli Shan, as a disciple of Shan Gu, has entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul at such a young age. He is also a seed of a great cultivator,” Ruowu said as he drank from the jar of wine.

In front of him, the two brothers Tao Ming and Wanyan Fu sat next to each other.

The two of them were extremely envious of others who advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but that was just envy. Tao Ming had just advanced to the late stage of the Core Formation, and was still a long way from the Nascent Soul.

Needless to say, Wanyan Fu is still in the early stages of Jindan.

Glancing at his master above, Wanyan Fu asked curiously:
"Let's not talk about Miaoli Shan. What was the result of the last battle between Master and Senior Tan Tai?"

The battle between the two has been going on for several years, and a few years ago, Ruowu went into seclusion immediately after returning.

The two of them naturally had no idea about the result.

Wakawu smiled:
"Tie!"

The brothers looked at each other and saw horror in each other's eyes.

If I were a sword cultivator, I would be extremely skilled in the art of attack and killing, and I would have the upper hand in battles with people of the same level.

It is true that Tan Tai Lin is vicious, but he is just a blood cultivator with strange methods. But how can he be compared with an orthodox sword cultivator?

As if he could see what the two were thinking:
“You two should not underestimate Tan Tai Lin. Although he is a casual cultivator, his blood skills are not simple.

“And when one cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage, there is no such thing as a simple role.

"In terms of cultivation, he is even one level higher than my master."

"This... could it be that?"

If I nod:

"After the New Year, I'm afraid we'll hear news that he has advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage."

The two brothers were stunned.

"In fact, it was my battle with him that accelerated his practice a lot, otherwise it would have taken him at least another hundred years to practice on his own.

"But it's not a loss for Master Yu. After he advances, it will be almost his turn as his disciple."

Ruowu put down the jar of wine in his hand, smoothed his Taoist robe, and was quite indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ming and Wan Yan Fu immediately knelt down and kowtowed:

"This disciple wishes Master to enter the realm of Yuanying cultivation!"

Outside the mountain gate of Shadow Moon Sect, Wei Zhong stood alone, looking at the Shadow Moon Sect inside the mountain gate curiously.

The fourth-order puppet was successfully made, and the remaining details were just a matter of details, so Wei Zhong handed them over to other weapon refiners in the weapon hall.

He was concerned about the secret method of inducing the birth of spiritual plants, so after some consideration, he came to the Shadow Moon Sect to sound out the situation.

This time he did not ask Miaoli Shan to come with him, mainly because the other party had just advanced. If he came with him, it would inevitably cause misunderstanding that he was bullying others.

It would be better for Wei Zhong to be alone.

After waiting for a while, a woman in a white dress came skipping to the mountain gate.

"Brother Wei, you are finally here!"

The person who came was Cheng Ruirui, the daughter of the leader of Shadow Moon Sect.

Wei Zhong looked up and found that after not seeing him for more than ten years, the other party had become more graceful and mature.

His cultivation level also increased again, entering the late stage of foundation building.

"If this continues for more than a hundred years, we can consider forming the elixir. This is really too shocking."

Wei Zhong is still planning to build his foundation at this age. The gap between the two is simply unspeakable.

"I have met Fairy Cheng."

The latter smiled, obviously very satisfied with the name of fairy:

"Senior Brother Wanyan is currently receiving instruction from his master in Guizhen Hall. I was unable to receive you, please excuse me."

"Where, where..."

In the eyes of the disciples guarding the mountain, Cheng Ruirui pulled Wei Zhong's sleeve and walked towards the interior of the Shadow Moon Sect.

Seeing the two men walking away, they immediately sent out letters and reported the matter to higher authorities.

"Rui Rui brought a male cultivator into the mountain gate? What's his background?"

I looked through the names in the letter sword:
"Wei Zhong? He seems somewhat familiar."

An elder who was at the Jindan stage beside him said:
"Master, have you forgotten the newly promoted fourth-rank weapon refiner from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce? Not only did he defeat Xun Yangzi many years ago, but he also recently worked together with Huang Yunqi and others to refine a fourth-rank, top-grade Nascent Soul magic weapon."

Cheng Zhenglu was somewhat impressed:

“So it’s this person. I heard Ruirui and Kunlin mention him. It seems that he is also friends with Senior Brother Ruowu’s two disciples.

"It's a good thing to make some friends, but... does this person have any intention of reporting his visit?"

The Jindan Elder shook his head:

"The disciples guarding the mountain never mentioned this matter."

"Oh, then I have to go and take a look myself. The important matters have been dealt with, and you can make the decision on the rest."

Cheng Zhenglu disappeared in a flash, leaving several Jindan elders in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the Shadow Moon Sect, Cheng Ruirui was taking Wei Zhong to travel around the sect:

"Father is discussing matters with the sect elders, so Senior Brother Wei may have to wait for a while."

Wei Zhong nodded, without any anxiety on his face. After all, he was asking someone to do something for him, so he naturally had to be more humble.

Just as he was about to say something, his consciousness suddenly sensed an inexplicable aura and he turned to look at a corner of the valley in the distance.

Seeing Wei Zhong in a daze, Cheng Ruirui asked curiously:
"Senior brother?"

Wei Zhong shook his head. With the help of the Heart Demon Cloak, the strength of his spiritual awareness increased again, and he just discovered an obvious fluctuation of breath in the valley.

But this breath disappeared in a flash, and Wei Zhong thought he had sensed it wrongly.

"continue……"

Wei Zhong followed Cheng Ruirui's footsteps and continued forward.

"That is the Guizhen Palace. If my uncle-master..."

In the distance, Cheng Zhenglu walked out of the valley with a hint of surprise on his face:
"What a sharp sense of consciousness, this kid is not simple."

His lips moved slightly, and a message flowed through the spiritual energy and reached Cheng Ruirui's ears.

The latter was introducing the sect's customs and practices when he suddenly heard his father's voice in his ears and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

Turning to Wei Zhong:

"Father has finished his meeting and invited the two of us to go..."

Wei Zhong nodded, followed his instructions, and came to a hall together.

There is a huge crescent mark on the stone slab in front of the hall, with a flickering light on it, as if there are a large number of runes attached to it.

Cheng Ruirui walked in, and Wei Zhong followed closely behind her. As soon as they stepped in, the environment changed drastically.

The blazing sun that was just above my head has disappeared, replaced by a cold crescent moon.

The crescent mark under his feet also disappeared, and was filled with stars of all sizes.

"Starry sky?" Cheng Ruirui's introduction sounded in my ears:
"This is my father's retreat, and the arrangement is a fourth-order formation..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a light cough coming from the hall in front.

"Rui Rui, don't talk nonsense."

The latter curled his lips and reluctantly took Wei Zhong into the hall.

Passing through the temple door supported by tall stone pillars, Wei Zhong saw a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged in the temple.

The other person was dressed in blue, with his black hair simply raised up. His left hand was behind his back, and his right hand was pinching his beard. He looked at Wei Zhong curiously.

"Rui Rui, why don't you introduce me to your father?"

Cheng Ruirui then stepped forward:
"Father, this is from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce..."

He talked a lot, not only mentioning the friendship between Wei Zhong and Wanyan Fu and others, but also Wei Zhong's identity as a fourth-rank weapon refiner, and some events at the Wang family banquet.

"You are really a good young man. Tell me, what is the important matter that brought you to my Shadow Moon Sect this time? People like you would not come to visit me for no reason."

Wei Zhong was somewhat surprised at the other party's directness. Just as he was about to say something, Cheng Ruirui said:
"Father, Senior Brother Wei is here to see you."

"I?"

"It's reasonable for you to come to Shadow Moon Sect to look for my little daughter, but why are you looking for an old man like me?"

Cheng Zhenglu looked surprised and suspicious.

Wei Zhong bowed:

"This junior came here to seek a secret method."

"Secret method?"

“That’s right, I have a very important spiritual plant in my hand, but it is only nine thousand years old and there is no way to bring it to life.

"I heard that your sect has a method that can be used against these high-level spiritual plants, so I came here to ask for the method."

Cheng Zhenglu heard this and chuckled:
"I thought it was something else. Ruirui told you this. She can never keep secrets."

"Father!" Cheng Ruirui shook Cheng Zhenglu's shoulder.

The latter looked embarrassed and could only say:

“Our sect does have a method called ‘Secret Records of Soul Replenishment’, but it is not the simple secret method you mentioned.

"It is a complete book on the birth of spiritual plants. The descriptions in it are extremely complicated. The cost of giving birth to spiritual plants is not small. Especially for spiritual plants that are nearly ten thousand years old, not only do they need to consume various rare items, but they also consume the life span of the cultivators themselves. It can be said that the gains do not outweigh the losses..."

"Lifespan?"

Wei Zhong was stunned. This kind of thing was the one he had the most. Relatively speaking, the strange things that Cheng Zhenglu mentioned were more difficult to get.

"I have come here fully prepared. No matter what the cost, I am willing to give it a try. I hope you will help me."

Cheng Zhenglu shook his head slightly:
"This method is the highest method of our Shadow Moon Sect. Even for our disciples, it would cost a lot to obtain it. As for you..."

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes when he looked at Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong gritted his teeth, raised his hand and released three objects.

The first item was the bee treasure of the Soul Devouring Ghost Bee. This was not the second-level bee treasure of the past, but the third-level bee treasure formed after the queen bee in Wei Zhong's hand was upgraded.

Tan Tai once said that it can cure all kinds of poisons, and as the main ingredient, it can also be refined into a precious medicine that can clear the spiritual channels of cultivators and speed up the mobilization of magic power.

"This thing is the Ghost Bee Treasure..."

The second item is a pill recipe and a pill.

"It's called Spirit Pill, and it can target the inner demon tribulation of the Jindan stage...greatly increasing the chances of a foundation-building cultivator advancing to the Jindan stage."

These two items were specially prepared by Wei Zhong for Cheng Ruirui. They might not be the most precious, but they are definitely good things from the niche.

The third item was a blue and white Taoist robe, which was made by Wei Zhong under the guidance of two fourth-level refiners in the hall.

The fourth-grade low-quality robe is made from the fourth-grade spiritual material, heavenly silk, as the main material, plus various auxiliary materials.

"This magic weapon is a fourth-level low-grade robe that I refined. It is the most precious magic weapon I have...

"Senior, do you think these three items can meet your requirements? If not, I still have a lot of spirit stones in my hand. Even if they are top-grade spirit stones, there are dozens of them..."

Seeing Wei Zhong take out these three things, Cheng Zhenglu was stunned for a moment. Not to mention the fourth-level robe, the first two items alone were not simple things.

Soul-eating ghost bee, this thing is rare, let alone a third-level bee treasure.

'In addition to the two effects mentioned by this kid, there is also a special recipe for this item in the sect. Its value is more precious than that of ordinary fourth-level spiritual medicine.'

Cheng Zhenglu was even more surprised and puzzled by the elixir method for the inner demon calamity of the Danjie stage. Of course, there were items in the cultivation world that could break the inner demon calamity, but most of them were rare spiritual objects from heaven and earth, but there were very few elixir recipes for making them.

'This elixir can be added to the sect's elixir recipe library, which will benefit future foundation-building disciples.'

'But it's still a little bit worse!'

Although the first two items are both good things from Qimen, their grades are a bit low and can only be used by cultivators in the foundation-building or core-forming stages.

Although the last item is of the fourth tier, there is no shortage of fourth tier refiners in the Shadow Moon Sect, so the value of this robe is not as great as imagined.

Cheng Zhenglu's hesitation made Wei Zhong feel even more uneasy.

"You can't even take this?"

Wei Zhong does have a lot of good things in his hands, but most of them involve Wei Zhong’s own secrets and cannot be taken out.

Wei Zhong racked his brains to come up with these three good things.

"Although these three things of yours are very good, they are still a little bit inferior to our sect's "Spiritual Replenishment Method"."

Wei Zhong sighed in his heart, and Cheng Ruirui shook her father's arm again.

She didn't understand what was wrong with these things. The bee treasure and the elixir were things she had never heard of, and their effects were eye-opening.

Not to mention that fourth-level robe, isn’t it better looking than the black robes made by those old guys in the sect?
Cheng Zhenglu said helplessly:
“Friend Wei must be able to understand the value of a method that can give birth to a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plant.

"It's easy to tell about ordinary spiritual plants, but for some rare spiritual plants, their value needs no further explanation."

Wei Zhong nodded:

"Senior, please tell me what I need from you. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Cheng Zhenglu pulled his arm out of Cheng Ruirui's arms and said:
“I don’t have any special demands on you, but I think it’s a bit of a loss to exchange a high-level technique for these three items.

"But since you've come all this way, I can't refuse. How about adding one more condition?"

"Senior, please speak!"

“Since you are also a fourth-rank weapon refiner, your future is limitless. I will make a promise with you. In the future, you must create a magic weapon for our Shadow Moon Sect within your ability.

"As for the time and the types of magic tools, we'll talk about it later!"

Wei Zhong thought about it and decided that this was not a difficult task for him, so he agreed.

The two parties signed a spiritual contract, and then Cheng Zhenglu brought Wei Zhong to the Yingyue Sect's inheritance hall to receive the inheritance of this method.

"The Secret Record of Soul Restoration?"

A steady stream of information fell into Wei Zhong's mind, which was longer than the general inheritance of martial arts techniques.

After absorbing it all, Wei Zhong knew that he had made a profit this time.

It is indeed as Cheng Zhenglu said, this is not a simple secret method to induce birth, but a detailed book on the cultivation of spiritual plants.

To accelerate the growth of spiritual plants to the ten thousand year level may be an unattainable goal for other methods.

But for this method, it is just the beginning.
