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

Chapter 198 The two sides traded and prepared to condense the infant

"Senior brother?"

Zhu Xueling called softly, and a bearded male cultivator walked out from the crowd.

'Early stage of Nascent Soul.'

Wei Zhong saw the light blue robe he was wearing, and there was still confusion in his eyes when he came in front of the few people.

He looked up and saw two strange monks, so he asked curiously:
"Who are these two?"

"These are the two distinguished guests from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. We met in Shuangwu Mountain..."

Zhu Xueling introduced Wei Zhong and Miao Lishan to each other. She was a little surprised to hear that Miao Lishan was a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator. But when she heard that Wei Zhong was a fourth-rank weapon refiner, she became much more enthusiastic.

"This is my senior brother Zhuo Zecheng, and he is also the Palace Master of my Linhai Ice Palace."

I didn't expect that the master of a palace is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator who is obsessed with refining equipment.

After several people greeted each other enthusiastically, Zhuo Zecheng took Wei Zhong to visit the magic boat he was preparing to forge.

"Does your Majesty want to use this magical boat to pass through that strong wind barrier and leave this extreme northern plain?"

The latter nodded:

"The environment of the Arctic Ice Field has changed. It is no longer suitable for the survival of our Linhai Ice Palace. In order to keep our sect alive, we must flee this place with the disciples in the palace."

"Palace Master Zhuo's idea is not bad, but can this magic boat really withstand the strong wind barrier?"

Wei Zhong remained skeptical. Even the sect protection formation could not withstand the erosion of the strong wind. The magic boat that could pass through it must be at least a fourth-grade upper-grade one, right?

But after Wei Zhong looked for a while, he found that Palace Master Zhuo's weapon refining skills were not much better than his own.

It doesn't look like it can be refined into a fourth-grade top-grade magical weapon.

It seemed that he saw the doubts in Wei Zhong's heart.

Zhuo Zecheng explained:

"Although the Gangfeng Barrier is dangerous, not every part of it is so powerful. I know of a weak passage in Linhai Ice Palace. As long as we make a fourth-level mid-grade spirit boat, we will have hope of passing through."

"Weak passage? Daoist Zhuo, are you serious?"

“Of course, before the wind disaster started, that passage was only filled with third-order strong winds, and Jindan cultivators had hope of passing through. It was only a few decades ago that it suddenly became stronger, and now it is only a fourth-order to lower-level disaster.

"Of course, the fourth-level magic boat required for passage cannot be an ordinary item...

"It must be able to carry all my palace disciples. The hardness of the spiritual boat and the speed of energy supply must be higher than that of the magic boat of the same level.

"The force of the strong wind is enough to tear apart the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator. In order to resist this force, the structure of the Dharma Boat must be stable. Not only must the outer layer of defensive spiritual light be strong, but the internal spiritual energy supply must also be able to supply the external consumption.

"But I am not proficient in the art of refining in Linhai Ice Palace. I have been groping for so long, but I have not yet reached the level of refining this boat. The only solution now is to stack rare spiritual materials on the spiritual boat and forcibly improve its level. We still don't know whether this plan will succeed."

Having said this, Zhuo Zecheng shook his head.

"Palace Master Zhuo, didn't you ever think of letting Senior Zhu go through this strong wind barrier to seek help?"

“It’s too dangerous. If a monk doesn’t have proper protective measures, it will still be too difficult to pass through that weak passage.

"That passage is long and winding. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would be in danger because of the long-term resistance to the erosion of the strong wind, which would cause his spiritual power to be completely consumed."

Wei Zhong did not ask again whether there was a high-level magic boat. If it was suitable, Linhai Ice Palace would have made an attempt at it long ago.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wei can lend a helping hand to my Linhai Ice Palace? I believe that Fellow Daoist also wants to escape from this despairing ice field, right?"

Wei Zhong pondered for a moment:

"Please give me some time to think about it, Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Zecheng didn't understand what he was struggling with, but he nodded politely:
"Yes, I will ask the disciples in the palace to arrange a place for you to live."

……

In a stone chamber, Wei Zhong and Miaoli Shan sat opposite each other.

After listening to Zhuo Zecheng's idea and the weak channel just now.

Miaoli Shan held the token in his hand with some disappointment:

"It's a pity that this place is too far away from Yunzhou. The elder token has lost its effectiveness in sending messages. Otherwise, we could still ask the Chamber of Commerce for help."

It's just a spirit boat that can pass through the strong wind, and it can be easily made with the level of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Wei? Are you planning to help Linhai Ice Palace build a spirit boat?"

Wei Zhong thought for a while:
“I must assist, but the request made by Palace Master Zhuo is, to be honest, beyond my level of weapon refining.

"A fourth-order, mid-quality spiritual boat is easy to get, but from what the other party said, it must be a very special and exquisite one. It's not easy to get."

"What should we do then? Can we only hope that this strong wind barrier will weaken further?"

This natural disaster has only occurred for more than ten years, and no one knows how long it will last. Waiting is undoubtedly a dead end.

"I plan to condense the infant first."

Miaoli Shan was shocked:
"Ning Ying? How confident are you, Daoist friend?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"I do have confidence in myself, but I am not fully prepared, and I don't know if I can achieve the goal of condensing my infant."

Wei Zhong has been practicing spiritual cultivation for many times. Combined with the powerful spiritual power of "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art", he has definitely reached the requirements for Nascent Soul Formation. It only takes a few years to reach the peak of Core Formation.

As for the physique and soul, the "Refining Gang Method" has reached the late third stage. The physique is much stronger than the average Jindan physical cultivator, and even better than the Yuanying spiritual cultivator like Miaoli Shan. The physical strength is also sufficient.

His soul has been practicing the "Soul-Splitting Method" for many years, and his level has far exceeded the standard for forming a pill, so he has no worries about condensing an infant.

At this point, the spirit, body and soul are all satisfied, and the successful formation of the infant is just a matter of course.

The only things you need to worry about are two disasters: the disaster of inner demons and the disaster of heavenly thunder.

Although Wei Zhong considered himself to be a tough person, he would not be so careless as to think that he could get through this disaster without any auxiliary means.

Similarly, Wei Zhong also had his own concerns about the thunder tribulation.

"In the matter of Condensing Infant, the Chamber of Commerce originally had detailed arrangements for you, but now, it has become..."

Miaoli Shan sighed, plans always change. Who could have thought that a safe treasure hunt would bring the two of them to this dangerous Arctic ice field?

"I don't have a treasure for Condensing Infants. If Daoist friend needs to Condensing Infants, then he can only find a way from Linhai Ice Palace."

After a while, the three Nascent Souls and Wei Zhong gathered together.

Zhu Xueling said in surprise:
"Fellow Daoist Wei wants to condense an infant?"

“That’s right. After the Infant Condensation, my all-round abilities will be improved, including the means of refining equipment and so on.

"The spiritual boat your palace needs can be made by one person after I condense my infant."

Zhuo Zecheng was very interested in this:
"It is certainly a good thing that your weapon refining skills have improved, but how confident are you that you can achieve Infant Condensation?"

Wei Zhong made a cross with both hands:

"I am 100% sure of achieving Infant Condensation, but I am not completely confident of the Heart Demon Tribulation and Heavenly Thunder Tribulation that will come later."

"100%? How can you say that?"

Zhu Xueling's words revealed a hint of awkward smile that showed disbelief.

Wei Zhong lightly squeezed his palm, and the energy gathered on his right hand layer by layer. He also added the seal to it at the same time, and then raised his head to look at Zhu Xueling:
"Brother Zhu, do you dare to take my attack?" The stinging pain between her eyebrows continued to spread, and Zhu Xueling frowned under her veil.

Without taking any action, she knew with her spiritual sense that this attack was no small matter. No wonder Cong Yatou frowned when she saw the other party.

“No, no, Brother Wei, please accept it. This small cave cannot withstand the battle between Yuanying and Nascent Soul.”

The black energy and seal in Wei Zhong's hand slowly receded.

"Fellow Daoist Wei's body-refining method is truly amazing. He actually possesses the power of a Nascent Soul when he is forming a pill. His body is fine, but I wonder how his spirit is?"

Wei Zhong chuckled, and the spirit within the puppet returned to the main body, making the spiritual consciousness stronger again, radiating out and spreading throughout the entire stone chamber.

Zhuo Zecheng seemed to be in high spirits and released his Nascent Soul consciousness to confront Wei Zhong.

The vibrations from the collision spread outwards, and the Ice Palace monks passing by were all horrified when they sensed it. They quickly fled, turning their heads to look at the stone chamber where the four people were, wondering:

"Did our elders fight with the outsiders?"

……

Inside the room, Zhuo Zecheng and Wei Zhong withdrew their spiritual consciousness.

The former looked surprised:
"Your spiritual awareness is so strong that it is rare at the Jindan level. It is almost touching the Yuanying level like us."

Zhu Xueling had the same expression:
"Fellow Daoist, this really opened our eyes. No wonder you dare to claim that you have a 100% chance of achieving Infant Condensation. Since you two are telling us about this, I guess you want to seek help from my Ice Palace?"

"I wish you good foresight. If your palace can provide the means to help you overcome the inner demon tribulation and the heavenly thunder tribulation, I will be fully responsible for forging your spirit boat."

"Of course there are methods, but can you prove whether your own refining methods are true?"

Hearing the questioning voices of Zhu Xueling and Zhuo Zecheng, Wei Zhong smiled lightly and took out a colorful golden bamboo umbrella.

The golden evil-repelling divine thunder roamed continuously above the umbrella, and the spiritual power it emitted made the three Nascent Soul cultivators present at the scene all look solemn.

Wei Zhong lightly rotated the handle of the umbrella, and the lightning barrier opened, wrapping the three people in it at lightning speed.

Dozens of thunder balls were suspended above their heads, and the power they emitted made everyone terrified.

With this lightning ball alone, Wei Zhong could kill Zhuo Zecheng, who was slightly weaker, and even seriously injure the other two.

"So that's possible proof?"

Wei Zhong held up the precious umbrella and looked at the three people with a smile on his face.

……

After removing the barrier of the colorful golden bamboo umbrella, Wei Zhong displayed various levels of secondary colorful golden bamboo umbrellas to prove that he had made them.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, just practice with peace of mind and advance to the peak of the Core Formation Stage. We will prepare the method for the Nascent Soul to transcend the tribulation."

With these words in mind, Zhu Xueling and Zhuo Zecheng both left.

After setting up a barrier to prevent outsiders from spying, Miaoli Shan was surprised:
"Good fellow, a fourth-level mid-grade lightning magic weapon. Did you ask the Shadow Moon Sect for the method of cultivating spiritual plants just for this?"

Wei Zhong nodded:
"The heavenly thunder tribulation is too strong. I will not be at peace without this treasure."

"Haha, I think the two people from Linhai Ice Palace were so scared when they saw the power of this treasure, they were afraid that you would suddenly attack them."

"We are all on the same boat, so how could I attack my allies?"

Wei Zhong's decision this time was based on careful consideration.

It was the first time for Wei Zhong to be so high-profile, which made him a little uncomfortable.

'On this ice field isolated by the frost gale, the strongest ones are Miaoli Shan and Zhu Xueling, who are in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

'With my own methods, I don't have to be afraid. Once the [Time Dao Fa] is activated, I can easily crush it with my late Nascent Soul cultivation, and destroying the entire Linhai Ice Palace is a piece of cake.

"I am the strongest person in the entire ice field, so why should I hide anything?"

After realizing this, Wei Zhong immediately decided to demonstrate his extraordinary Jindan strength.

"Unfortunately, your move is still a bit too reckless. The Arctic Icefield is the home of the Linhai Ice Palace. If we keep exploring, they will find a way to escape sooner or later, and they may not be on the same page with us.

"You revealed too much on this trip, especially the precious umbrella. Even I was tempted when I saw it. I was afraid that he would have evil intentions and attack us."

"Then I will have to rely on Fellow Daoist Miao to lead me out of the encirclement."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

What Wei Zhong actually thought in his heart was that if Linhai Ice Palace was ungrateful, then he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

'Kill them all, and sooner or later I will be able to find the treasure to overcome the tribulation from their secret treasures. No matter what path I take, I will reach the end of my infant condensation.'

"Okay, just practice slowly and strive to condense your infant as soon as possible and make a magic boat. I'm really fed up with this ice field. Not only am I worried about my life, but I don't even have any spiritual wine to drink..."

The two men separated and left, and suddenly a woman named Xiu Lan was seen blocking Wei Zhong's way in front of them.

It was the female cultivator with keen spiritual perception.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please wait a moment. I am following the orders of the Palace Master and am here to change the practice room for you..."

Wei Zhong did not refuse. He followed her and talked to her. He learned her name was Cong Yurou:

"Why does Fairy Cong frown when she sees me? Is it because she feels uncomfortable at home?"

The latter pretended to be surprised:
"Really? Perhaps it's because your aura is too amazing, which makes me a little panicked for a moment. After all, your strength is as strong as that of a Yuanying..."

The other party answered fluently and naturally, never revealing any sign of his ability.

After a while, he led Wei Zhong to a deeper underground cave.

"This is the fourth-level training room opened by the elders and the palace master. The concentration of spiritual energy here can reach the upper-middle fourth level, which is definitely enough for fellow Taoists to practice."

Following the instructions and stepping into it, Wei Zhong discovered that it was indeed an enclosed training room with extremely simple furnishings.

It's just a cushion and a spirit gathering array pattern on the floor.

Wei Zhong felt a little regretful for no reason:

"Linhai Ice Palace really has no ulterior motives. What a pity!"

……

Above the cave, Zhu Xueling and Zhuo Zecheng, who had witnessed Wei Zhong's methods, still had lingering fears in their hearts.

"This person really has too many tricks up his sleeve," Zhuo Zecheng sighed.

Thinking back to the time when he was forming his Dan, it was quite amazing to have Wei Zhong's Nascent Soul method.

How could he be like him? He has so many Nascent Soul techniques, and is more like a Nascent Soul than him.

Zhu Xueling also looked thoughtful:

"Brother, if the two of us ..."

"No, this is too risky, the risks outweigh the benefits.

"Junior sister, you don't think that a great cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage will easily let go of the enemy who killed his disciple, do you?"

The latter was silent, looking up at the blue ice flame in the sky:
"It's a pity that the Profound Sky Ice Flame only has this opportunity once every five hundred years, and now it has to be used on outsiders."
