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

Chapter 190 Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Bamboo
"Thank you, senior!"

Lian Chengjue and Yao Zhengsheng bowed and when they looked up their faces were filled with joy.

After waiting for a long time, I finally got the elixir I wanted.

"My friend, if you want to reach the Nascent Soul stage, you will need a fourth-level spiritual land. Our Chamber of Commerce has high-level cultivation caves for rent..."

"Thank you for telling me, I was thinking the same thing."

The two of them talked with Du Longfeng for a while and then left. Du Yun then walked in from outside the hall:

"These two people from Qingmu Sect are really lucky. They were able to collect a Dingling Pill from a remote place like Mangyuan Prefecture."

Du Longfeng was not surprised:
"Mangyuan Prefecture is adjacent to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, so the resources are sufficient. In addition, Qingmu Sect dared to fight those monsters, so it is normal for them to accumulate these spiritual medicines within a hundred years."

"Father, do you think this person can successfully condense an infant?"

Du Longfeng shook his head, a hint of sneer appeared on his face:
"If it's so easy to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, then wouldn't there be Nascent Souls everywhere in Yunzhou?
"It's just a Dingling Pill. How can it help this person reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

"What about father just now?"

"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. Lian Cheng feels that this man won't live long, so let him fight to the death."

Having said this, Du Longfeng turned around and went to the back hall to rest.

Qing Mu Zong and his entourage came to Jinping Market near Xiaohe Mountain. After paying a sufficient amount of spirit stones, they rented a fourth-level cave residence.

"Master..."

"Zhengsheng, I don't know whether I will live or die in this fight. If I succeed, my Qingmu Sect will naturally prosper, but if I fail, you can take my wealth and return to the sect.

"Tell Yuansen to stop the sect's further development of the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and just defend the current territory..."

He talked a lot, as if he was leaving his last words.

Yao Zhengsheng wrote down all the words one by one, then watched Lian Chengjue walk into the cave. The stone door slowly closed, and then he left with a complicated expression.

He also found a third-level cave nearby and waited for his uncle to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

After seven days, a large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the spiritual vein below the cave, and a cyclone of spiritual energy formed in the air above.

Such a big commotion attracted many monks to stop and watch.

Having just returned to Miaoli from Luohe Prefecture, Shan was also surprised to see this scene.

After landing on Xiao Heshan, he bowed to his master and asked:
"Which person has reached the Jinping Market and is striving for the Nascent Soul?"

Shan Gu looked at the spiritual energy cyclone in front of him and said calmly:
“Mangyuan Prefecture, Qingmu Sect’s Supreme Lian Chengjue.

"This person has been stagnant at the peak of Jindan for decades, and only now has he obtained a Dingling Pill with the help of the sect's accumulation."

"Qingmu Sect? How come the Jindan force under the Yingyue Sect comes to the market town of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce to attack the Yuanying stage?" Miaoli Shan looked confused.

"Who knows, maybe there is a gap between the two."

After taking a few glances at the gradually expanding spiritual energy cyclone, Shan Gu turned his head towards Miaoli Shan:
"Where's the inner demon cloak?"

"Here it is," the latter took out the storage bag given to him by Wei Zhong, and then heard Shan Gu ask.

"How did Wei Zhong react after hearing that his spiritual vein had been stolen?"

"His expression was quite calm. I don't know what he was thinking. But I guess he will concentrate on training in the next period of time to avoid disaster."

“That’s it!
"The rest of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to you and Yu Tianze...

"I'm going to look for Senior Hongxu... I'd like to find someone who can refine the Phoenix Yuan Pill..."

"Master, rest assured, we will take care of the Chamber of Commerce wholeheartedly."

Shan Gu nodded, took the storage bag, and turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the distance.

Miaoli Shan watched the spiritual energy cyclone in the market town for a while and saw that there was no obvious change.

So he turned around and returned to the Chamber of Commerce.

……

On Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong practiced for a long time, slowly stopped practicing his skills, the guest token in his hand flickered, and his spiritual sense probed in.

"The Grand Master Lian Chengjue of the Qingmu Sect of Mangyuan Prefecture failed in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage in Jinping Market of our Chamber of Commerce and died...

"His companion, Yao Zhengsheng, was suspected to have been robbed and killed by hostile forces, and his life or death is unknown..."

“So he is going to achieve Nascent Soul stage. No wonder the Grand Master Qing Mu, who has not moved for a hundred years, would appear here.

“Unfortunately, all the accumulation over the years was in vain. Not only did I die, but even my disciples were doomed.

"Nascent Soul, it's so difficult!"

Wei Zhong went into seclusion again with some sigh.

In the fifth year, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion to check on the growth of the golden thunder bamboo and shared some joy with the two girls.

Just at this moment, he learned about Shan Qin Ningying of Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"This is, the Fengyuan Pill has been successfully refined. I wonder which alchemist you are looking for?"

Unlike the Wang family, the Yunji Chamber of Commerce after Shan Qin reached Nascent Soul stage was very low-key. Instead of holding a grand banquet like the Wang family, it only invited one or two core cultivators of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce to a small gathering.

Wei Zhong left in a hurry, and after congratulating everyone, he hurried back after the gathering.

He went into seclusion again, and this time it lasted for twenty years.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late Jindan Period (99th level, %)]

[Spiritual Root: Earth Grade]

[Forging Gang Method: Number of Gang Seals: 7126 (Third-stage Late Body Refining Monk)]

【Shouyuan: 474/600】

His spiritual cultivation had advanced to the stage of perfect Jindan, with no room for improvement. At the same time, his body refining technique had also entered the late third stage.

"My life span is really not enough to sustain consumption. The remaining 126 years are not enough for me to use the [Time Dao Law] three times."

After much consideration, Wei Zhong decided to level up once.

"According to the current cultivation speed, it will take ten years to make up for this level. Kryptonian level is already a huge profit."

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late Jindan Period (Eighth Level, 99%)]

[Spiritual Root: Earth Grade]

[Forging Gang Method: Number of Gang Seals: 7126 (Third-stage Late Body Refining Monk)]

【Shouyuan: 424/600】

"A life span of more than a hundred years is enough to perform the [Time Dao Law] three times, and an hour of cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage is enough to protect oneself.

"If it doesn't work, I can temporarily replenish my lifespan with kryptonite..."

Just as Wei Zhong was thinking about his lifespan, a ball of golden light suddenly burst out from a corner of the cave.

It was wrapped in golden thunder and exploded for several miles, scaring the swarm of soul-eating ghost bees into chaos.

Wei Zhong was also attracted by the noise and looked in the direction of the spiritual light, which was the location of the Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest.

"Did it work?" Wei Zhong flew out of the courtyard, wearing a light golden robe and holding a third-level seven-color golden bamboo umbrella, and fled towards the Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest.

At this moment, there seemed to be a thunderstorm inside the Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest. Green and golden arcs of electricity kept jumping between the spiritual bamboos. Even with Wei Zhong's current late Jindan cultivation level, he did not dare to rashly set foot here.

To this end, Wei Zhong waited outside the bamboo forest for a full three months, before the violent thunder and lightning inside slowly dissipated as the thunder and lightning power of the ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo was restrained.

Walking into the bamboo forest, Wei Zhong discovered that there were many more thousand-year-old spiritual bamboos in the forest than before.

Even the thousand-year-old spiritual bamboo has been improved in age after this incident.

"Could it be that the improvement of a ten-thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo has led to the collective improvement of the entire spiritual bamboo group?"

Wei Zhong didn’t know, but there was no other reason for the sudden surge in the number of so many spiritual bamboos except this explanation.

When he walked into the bamboo forest, Wei Zhong indeed saw the golden spiritual bamboo at the core of the formation.

From the trunk to the branches, and even to the finger-sized bamboo leaves, everything is golden in color.

Golden arcs of electricity occasionally flashed among the spiritual bamboo.

"Is this the legendary divine thunder that can ward off evil? It is said that it is specifically used to destroy evil methods, and is particularly targeted at demon cultivators and even the demons. I don't know if it is true or not."

Looking closely at this thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo, Wei Zhong had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"After refining a seven-colored golden bamboo umbrella, there seems to be some left. Perhaps I can use the remaining materials to create a magical weapon of offensive and killing nature, such as a magic sword."

While thinking, Wei Zhong took out the fourth-level magic sword he had made and was about to chop at the spiritual bamboo.

When the two were only a palm's distance apart, a golden lightning flash popped out from the thousand-year-old golden lightning bamboo.

It hit the sword and spread along it to Wei Zhong's body.

Wei Zhong's expression changed, and he quickly injected his spiritual power into his robe to resist the lightning attack.

But the speed of spiritual power circulation is still not as fast as the attack of Golden Thunder Bamboo.

He felt his arm and even half of his shoulder go numb, and he staggered back a few steps, only stopping when he bumped into a cyan-gold spiritual bamboo.

"Such a domineering lightning. If one's cultivation is not good enough, it would be like looking at the treasure but not being able to obtain it."

Wei Zhong adjusted his breathing for a moment, and used the strong spiritual power of Jindan to dispel the passive lightning in his body.

Then he half dismantled the magic circle arranged among the bamboo forest and separated the thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo from it.

"Sure enough, without the connection to other spiritual bamboos, this thunder has become much weaker."

Seeing this, Wei Zhong still did not take it lightly. He raised the magic sword in his hand and cut off the bamboo whips buried deep underground along the spiritual bamboo, thus cutting off the possibility of it absorbing power from the underground spiritual veins.

Then he grasped the bamboo pole with both hands, used his physical strength to resist the lightning, and pulled it up by the roots.

A dazzling golden arc of electricity exploded the moment Lingzhu stood on the ground, and Wei Zhong was thrown far away like a black stone.

He fell to the ground and stumbled several times.

The black energy slowly dissipated, revealing Wei Zhong wearing spiritual armor.

"Ah!"

The armor and helmet were removed, Wei Zhong looked at the spiritual bamboo in his hand, and his smile could no longer be suppressed:
"After a hundred years, the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunder Bamboo was finally completed."

……

In the following months, lightning flashed from time to time in the Dongtian courtyard, scaring Jinmei from the nearby winery so much that he couldn't sleep well.

He was always in shock when brewing wine, and destroyed countless rare and precious medicines.

But Wei Zhong in the courtyard couldn't care less. At this moment, he was concentrating on the spiritual fire in front of him.

Under the burning of the black flames day and night, the spiritual bamboo slowly turned into balls of golden spiritual liquid.

“As expected of a top-notch fourth-grade spiritual material, the strength of its light wheel far exceeds that of ordinary fourth-grade spiritual iron.

"Those Earth Nightmare Gold and the like are not even worthy of carrying shoes."

Looking at the golden spiritual liquid in front of him, Wei Zhong carefully controlled it in his hands, inserting various runes from time to time to cause it to slowly take shape.

It took a year for the umbrella ribs to take shape, and the fan made of silkworm silk was covered on top. The black spiritual fire was ignited...

"Gathering lightning, attracting spirits... and my unique flying and gathering breath..."

Only after all the runes have been drawn, the umbrella is considered completed.

The umbrella handle and even the ribs were all golden in color, except for the umbrella cover, which was emitting colorful spiritual light. The spiritual light moved around, forming the shapes of spiritual fish and lotus leaves.

Wei Zhong injected his spiritual power into it, feeling the slight obscurity of the control, and said in surprise with a look of joy on his face:
“Fourth-level middle grade!
"Several top-level fourth-grade spiritual materials have actually pushed it to the middle-grade level."

Wei Zhong continued to infuse spiritual power into it, and finally after consuming 20% ​​of his spiritual power, he was able to control this magical weapon.

“It can defend against lightning attacks, but it can also defend against spiritual or physical attacks of other attributes with an effect no less than that of a general fourth-order magic shield.

"In addition, we can use the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder to attack. More importantly..."

Wei Zhong twisted the umbrella handle with his right hand, and a layer of golden light spread out from the edge of the umbrella and gradually expanded.

"The power of enchantment that only Nascent Soul magic weapons can possess!"

Wei Zhong looked around and found that what enveloped this area of ​​space was not ordinary golden spiritual light, but densely packed divine thunder that could ward off evil.

As soon as he thought about it, golden thunder balls suddenly appeared on the umbrella and even around the barrier. Feeling the power, Wei Zhong took a breath of cold air.

"It's getting close to the fourth level. If it weren't for my Jindan cultivation, each of these lightning balls would be a powerful fourth-level spell."

His eyes were directed towards a stone mountain in the distance, and the thunder ball was immediately shot out according to Wei Zhong's wishes.

With a loud bang, the entire stone mountain was destroyed, without even a bit of stone powder left.

"It's very fast and powerful. It's much more powerful than the fire fan Wanyan Fu showed me before.

"Even this spiritual energy consumption is extremely intense. With my current cultivation level, I can only maintain the lightning barrier for half an hour at most. But if I control the lightning balls to attack, it depends on the number of lightning balls and the time is measured by the breath."

After blasting out about twenty thunder balls, Wei Zhong's spiritual power had been consumed by more than half.

Only then did he slowly put away the colorful golden bamboo umbrella.

"With the help of this umbrella, my chances of surviving the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation have increased. Once my cultivation has reached perfection, I can try to condense the Nascent Soul."

Back in the courtyard, the golden flame in Wei Zhong's hand ignited again. Many spiritual materials were contained in it, and combined with the remaining spiritual bamboo materials from making the colorful golden bamboo umbrella, it took three months, and a golden magic sword slowly took shape.

The fingertips flicked the sword, and golden arcs of lightning jumped on it continuously.

"The sword body is golden in color, and the main material is the ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo, so we call it the Golden Thunder Sword."

Wei Zhong, who was always bad at naming, casually decided on the name of the sword. Since then, the Xuanming Sword has retired from Wei Zhong's hands, and the Jinlei Sword has officially taken over.

With a thought, the golden thunder sword in his hand turned into golden lightning and rushed towards the distance. Its speed was even faster than that of the flying throwing technique.

"The combined effect of the Flying Rune and the Power of Thunder and Lightning is indeed remarkable. Even if the Breath Retention and Invisibility Runes are activated to cover the sword, the speed of this sword will only drop by 20% at most.

"It's as fast as thunder and kills people invisibly. It's an excellent fourth-level lower-grade magic sword."

Wei Zhong was looking at the magic sword, when suddenly the guest token on his waist flashed, and a message from Xun Yangzi made Wei Zhong look confused.

"The Silver Sky Jade Dew is about to fall on Shuangwuling Mountain. Brother Wei, come quickly."

"According to past rules, this treasure will land in at least 30 years. How come it suddenly landed earlier?"
