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

Chapter 214: The middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Thunder Yuan Dan
Wei Zhong's consciousness left the column of luck and smoke, a light flashed in his eyes, and the rivers and mountains in front of him instantly changed color.

The blue river of spiritual power, the earth yellow and emerald green colors mixed in the mountains, and a little bit of red and golden spiritual light.

A layer of light curtain appeared before my eyes:

[Spirit-seeking Technique: Peerless]

Another first-level magic technique has reached a peerless level. Wei Zhong stretched out his right hand, and his fingertips moved, and a mysterious rune was quickly drawn.

Staring at the rune, there was a hint of curiosity in Da Jin's eyes, but Wei Zhong shattered it with a wave of his hand.

The Soul-Seeking Technique was originally an ordinary first-level technique that Wei Zhong practiced in order to search for spiritual objects in the Qingchuan Secret Realm.

With the help of this technique, the monk's eyes can see the flow of spiritual energy nearby, thereby achieving the effect of discovering spiritual objects.

However, as Wei Zhong's cultivation level continued to improve, this technique became increasingly useless.

The detection effect of the Grandmaster level is even worse than that of Wei Zhong's spiritual sense. Now that Wei Zhong has entered the Nascent Soul stage, it has completely lost its effectiveness.

The detection power of the Nascent Soul's consciousness is far beyond the reach of ordinary magic.

Even though it has now entered the peerless level, it still hasn't produced any qualitative changes. At most, the detection effect has become a little stronger, and it can form a soul-seeking rune.

It was a little helpful for Wei Zhong to refine weapons and make puppets, but its other effects were not significant.

Putting it behind him, Wei Zhong was about to return to Lingshan to practice, when he suddenly saw a disciple from the Chamber of Commerce coming from outside the mountain with a message, and the elder token in his arms was flashing at the same time.

After a thorough investigation, only a few numbers were found:
"The elder of Shadow Moon Sect, Taoist Ruowu, was promoted to the late Nascent Soul stage three days ago..."

'Another Nascent Soul cultivator has appeared!'

The reason why the news was so delayed was that the Shadow Moon Sect deliberately concealed the news.

If it weren't for the fact that after Ruo Wu was promoted, he had a duel with the Grand Elder Meng Yi of his sect, and the two of them fought to a stalemate, allowing others to get a glimpse of some clues, otherwise this news would have been kept secret by the Shadow Moon Sect for a long time.

The Shadow Moon Sect now has one more Nascent Soul cultivator, and its power is now much stronger, surpassing the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

After all, there is still a gap between two or three Nascent Soul cultivators in the early and middle stages and the great Nascent Soul cultivators.

"But the Nascent Soul Great Monk doesn't seem to be that far away from me."

Wei Zhong flew into Yunxiao Lingshan and sat cross-legged in the training room in the mountain.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a large amount of data was presented.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Early Nascent Soul Stage (Level 30, %)]

【Shouyuan: 603/1040】

[Kung Fu: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art·Grandmaster (59%) {four years plus 1%}; Tempering Gang Method (number of Gang seals: 9000); Seven Aperture Thunder Art·Level 1 (%)]

After entering the Nascent Soul stage for more than forty years, Wei Zhong's cultivation has been rising all the way, and now he is very close to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator will probably stay in the early Nascent Soul stage for nearly a hundred years, the middle Nascent Soul stage for more than a hundred years, and the late Nascent Soul stage for more than two hundred years or indefinitely.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to enter the late Nascent Soul stage.

Even the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is not something that everyone can reach, just as Wei Zhong had seen Che Kunlin of the Shadow Moon Sect and Kong Jue of the Fuyun Temple before.

The two of them have stayed in the early stage of Nascent Soul for a long time, and even their lifespans are about to be exhausted, with no possibility of entering the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

For example, as a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Ruo Wu has stayed there for nearly one hundred and seventy years.

Yu Tianze, who was in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, had stayed there for more than two hundred years and had not yet found an opportunity to enter the later stage.

According to Wei Zhong's estimation, there is a high probability that he will not be able to enter the late Nascent Soul stage in his lifetime.

It is difficult to progress to the Nascent Soul stage, but this is not the case for Wei Zhong.

In more than forty years, most of the journey to the early Nascent Soul stage has been completed. It will take less than twenty years at most to enter the middle stage.

Anyone who sees this speed will be amazed.

Looking down along the order of cultivation level, one can see the various techniques that Wei Zhong practiced.

[First-level peerless level: Flying Throwing Technique; Cloud-flying Technique; Invisibility Technique; Invisibility Technique; Geng Sword Technique; Soul-seeking Technique]

[First-level Grandmaster: Spirit Rain Technique, Disguise Technique...]

[Second-level spells: Black Water Spiritual Robe, Grandmaster (86%); True Seal Treasure Art, Grandmaster (27%); Golden Flowing Flame, Grandmaster (46%)]

Wei Zhong now possesses six first-order peerless magic techniques, most of which can still exert their power at the Nascent Soul level.

Throwing magic is still a powerful means of attack in Wei Zhong's hands. Combined with magic weapons, golden flames, etc., it is no longer limited to the magic itself, but has penetrated into all aspects of Wei Zhong's practice.

The cloud-flying technique is combined with the thunder method that he has practiced, and his speed of escape is taken to a higher level.

The same applies to other techniques.

After reaching the peerless level, magic is not just magic. In addition to returning to the essence of runes, it is also displayed in Wei Zhong's practice, fighting against enemies, refining equipment, etc.

It became a basic means of using spiritual power and consciousness. It had a bit of the meaning of following the laws of nature, and this characteristic was constantly deepening as Wei Zhong practiced.

In addition to magic, there are also various skills that Wei Zhong has practiced.

[Fourth-level Alchemy·Water·Master (34%)]

[Fourth-level Alchemy·Fire·Master (51%)]

[Fourth-level Art of Alchemy - Master (42%)]

[Level 68 Puppet Master·Proficient (%)]

……

Three fourth-level methods: alchemy, weapon refining, and puppet making.

In addition, there are skills such as wine making, tea making, formation formation, etc., but their grades are not high enough and their proficiency is also average.

The only things Wei Zhong can show off at the moment are alchemy, weapon forging, and puppet making.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator, mastering one fourth-order skill is enough for his own practice, and Wei Zhong has made achievements in all three.

With the support of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, the resources obtained are unimaginable for ordinary people.

Apart from the resources for the Nascent Soul stage, as long as Wei Zhong wanted something at the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he uttered a word, countless disciples of the Chamber of Commerce would rush to get it.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators are no exception in exchange for the cultivation resources they want.

"To have achieved this in over three hundred years is already beyond countless monks."

He closed his eyes and gazed, and saw the "Record of Time" floating in the sea of ​​consciousness.

All the joy disappeared immediately.

'The panel and proficiency functions are all granted by this item, but while this item brings me convenience and opportunities, it also brings me endless troubles.'

More importantly, Wei Zhong did not know the origin of this thing.

"It is a treasure of time, but even the Thunder Dragon cannot tell its exact origin."

Sigh:
"Who cares? If it weren't for this thing, I would have died of old age in the Yan family's spiritual field. It has played an indispensable role in my cultivation until now."

Putting aside the sorrow in his heart, Wei Zhong went into seclusion again.

……

Outside Yunxiao Lingshan, two men walked up to Lingshan holding visiting cards.

Our own Chamber of Commerce disciples are responsible for the reception.

"You two are Nie Yuansen and Yi Liu from the Qingmu Sect?"

The two people below bowed:

"Exactly!"

The disciple from the Chamber of Commerce nodded and brushed his red Taoist robe:
"Please wait for a moment, the chief steward of the Dan Palace is in seclusion."

The two were not surprised by this and just asked:
"I wonder how long I have to wait?"

"Who knows? Our chief steward has been in seclusion for decades, but now seventeen years have passed. It should be time for him to come out."

Nie Yuansen and the other two looked surprised:
"Could it be that Senior Du is in the process of breaking through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul?" The Chamber of Commerce disciple smiled when he heard this:
"You two are out of touch with the news. The chief steward of the Dan Hall of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce has long been replaced. Senior Du has already retired to the mountains and forests. Now it is Senior Wei who is in charge of this position in the Chamber of Commerce."

Yi Liumian has doubts:

"Senior Wei, which Senior Wei are you?"

"Who else could it be, Senior Wei?"

The disciples of the Chamber of Commerce showed impatience. They only knew that Wei Zhong was born in a secular place and was not trained by the Chamber of Commerce. They were not clear about other things.

"You'll know when you two meet later."

The two were brought to a side hall on the hillside of Lingshan Mountain, and the disciples of the Dan Palace then said goodbye and left.

Nie Yuansen in the palace sighed:
"Over the past few decades, the world has really changed dramatically. Even the internal forces of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce have undergone major changes. I wonder what kind of person this Master Wei is?

"Is your alchemy skill level sufficient?"

When Yi Liu heard the words "Master Wei", it brought back memories of the past.

I thought of the self-taught alchemist living in Luohe Prefecture. I wondered what he looked like now.

Is there any connection between Master Wei who gathered in the Chamber of Commerce and him?

While thinking, the person next to me reminded me:

"Sixth son, if you can obtain the Thunder Yuan Pill this time, you will be able to enter the late stage of Jindan within a few decades, and my Qingmu Sect will have another pillar."

The latter bowed and clasped his hands:
"I will definitely live up to the trust of my uncle!"

Nie Yuansen sighed in his heart:
"It's a pity that Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Luo were unable to wait for the recipe."

Yi Liu's former teacher Zhao Bai had passed away a long time ago, and his senior brother Luo Zhigang also died of old age not long ago.

Both of them are body cultivators who practice the "Golden Thunder Art". However, they have not had a suitable way to practice alchemy, and their qualifications are limited, so they have not made enough progress in their practice over the years.

Hundreds of years were wasted without any chance to advance to the stage of Jindan.

Even though Yi Liu possessed the spiritual root of thunder, he still showed some signs of decline after forming his elixir, and his cultivation level could no longer improve at the rapid rate he once did.

"Master and Senior Brother, it's just that the opportunity has not come yet."

The recipe for the Thunder Yuan Pill was accidentally acquired by Qingmu Sect recently. It is one of the most suitable pills for thunder-type body cultivators.

"If Master Uncle can obtain the Dingling Pill during this trip, it will be a truly great joy."

Many years have passed since Qing Mu Zong sought the elixir.

During this period of time, Qingmu Zong had collected enough spiritual herbs to make an elixir, and came here specifically to ask for the elixir.

"The Nascent Soul Realm. Even if I have a Soul-Fixing Pill, I dare not say that I can reach this realm."

It seems like it was just yesterday when my uncle-master died in the breakthrough.

Nie Yuansen had been honing his skills in the late stage of Jindan for a long time, and gradually felt that his cultivation had reached perfection and there was no room for improvement. That was why he dared to come to Yunzhou City to ask for elixirs.

When the two sighed.

Wei Zhong has already opened his eyes in Yunxiao Lingshan.

A layer of light curtain appeared before my eyes.

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Middle Stage, Level 1 (%)]

"Sure enough, seventeen years, less than twenty years, it was an easy breakthrough."

Wei Zhong stretched himself and let out a happy shout.

After feeling the speed of cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul slightly, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

'The gap between the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stage is really huge. No wonder Yu Tianze stayed in this state for so long.'

After sighing, he grabbed several swords outside the training room.

"Brother Wei, we have made some progress in refining puppets..."

"... Qingmu Sect is asking for two pills, one Dingling Pill and one Leiyuan Pill..."

"Are the Qingmu Sect here to ask for elixirs again? Does the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range really have such an accumulation?"

The Nascent Soul's consciousness spread out and captured the two Jindan cultivators who were in the side hall on the mountainside.

With one step, he left the training room.

Nie Yuansen and Yi Liu in the side hall were startled. They only felt a powerful divine sense sweeping over them. When they raised their heads, they saw a man in black robes appear in front of them.

Nie Yuansen immediately bowed and clasped his hands:
"Junior greets Master Wei!"

Wei Zhong nodded. There were indeed two familiar faces in front of him.

When Nie Yuansen lowered his head, he did not hear Yi Liu's greetings for a long time.

When I turned around, I found that Yi Liu had already been stunned.

Voice inquiry:

"Xiao Liuzi?"

The latter finally reacted and bowed:

"Junior has met Master Wei."

Wei Zhong smiled and said nothing more.

The two of them took out various elixirs and a jade slip.

Explained the alchemy requirements of this trip to Wei Zhong in detail.

"One Dingling Pill, and an unlimited number of Leiyuan Pills."

There was no problem with the Dingling Pill. After Wei Zhong tried to refine this pill a few years ago, he quickly got the hang of it, although he was not as proficient as he was with the Dixuan Pill and Peiying Pill.

However, it is no problem to produce one low-quality piece in one furnace, and occasionally even two can be produced.

"As for the Thunder Yuan Pill... do you two have a more advanced fourth-level or even fifth-level pill recipe?"

The recipe in the jade slip was obviously copied by the two of them, and it is not ruled out that Qingmu Zong only took out part of the recipe.

"This……"

The two hesitated, and Wei Zhong waved his hand and gave out ten elixirs, all of which were top-grade Haoyuan Pills.

"Ten Haoyuan Pills for late Jindan cultivators to practice, are they enough?"

The two looked at each other, and Nie Yuansen nodded slowly:
"Yi Liu then took out a silver-white jade slip, which was rough and damaged."

After Wei Zhong took it, he was able to see the rest of the recipes.

"This jade slip was accidentally obtained by my Qingmu Sect. The recipe is partially broken, especially the second and fifth stage parts. Senior..."

Wei Zhong nodded and accepted it:

"That's enough. These ten pills belong to you two."

The two of them accepted it with great joy.

What Yi Liu said was true, the jade slip was indeed damaged, and the information on the pill recipe recorded in it was somewhat missing, but the third and fourth levels, which were most critical to Wei Zhong, were intact.

As for the fifth level, it is still a long way from the third level of "Seven Aperture Thunder Power", so Wei Zhong is not in a hurry.

"You two can wait for three months and then come to this mountain to get the elixir. You can stay on this sacred mountain or leave."

After saying this, Wei Zhong left with the elixir.

It just so happened that there were also disciples in the Chamber of Commerce who delivered all the other spiritual medicines needed for alchemy.

Wei Zhong counted them carefully and combined them with the spiritual medicine of Qingmu Sect. Sure enough, he had a complete set of spiritual medicines for refining the spiritual elixir.

Even in the resource-rich Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, not all elixirs are available.

This part of spiritual medicine still needs to be replenished by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and Qingmu Sect paid the cost of this part of spiritual medicine in advance.
