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

Chapter 228: Refining Method, Reversing Ascension
"Hello, senior," Wang Qianxi and Bu Wenzhi also reacted and quickly greeted.

Hongxu nodded and then turned his gaze back to Wei Zhong:
"Golden Thunder, but is it the Ten Thousand Years Golden Thunder Bamboo?"

"Senior's wisdom eye, this is the magic weapon made from this thing."

The colorful golden bamboo umbrella in Wei Zhong's hand turned into the size of a palm and was constantly rotating in his palm.

"It's good luck. The evil-repelling divine thunder generated by this spiritual bamboo can not only destroy evil things, but also has a targeted effect on some demons...

"You have done a great job in killing the demons this time. Do you have anything you want to exchange for it?"

Wang Qianxi and Bu Wenzhi shook their heads, obviously wanting to accumulate merits and then exchange them for more precious things.

Wei Zhong thought about it for a moment and then took the initiative to speak, wanting to exchange for the method of building the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

"Demon Suppression Tower, 20 points for the third level, 80 points for the fourth level, and 200 points for the fifth level. Which level do you want to exchange for?"

Wei Zhong stroked his chin and said slowly:
"all."

Hongxu finally became a little surprised:

"Three hundred merit points in total is not a small number."

The two people behind Wei Zhong were also a little surprised.

As a fifth-rank formation master who presided over the demon-suppressing formation below, Bu Wenzhi naturally had more than 300 merit points. However, Wang Qianxi was not much different from an ordinary Nascent Soul, with just over 100 merit points.

Even if Wei Zhong killed a blood demon in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul this time, it would be impossible for him to accumulate 300 merit points.

"Senior, just help me exchange it. I'm sure the Taihua Stele and Hun Tian Ce will be able to distinguish them by themselves."

Seeing that Wei Zhong had no intention of backing down or regretting, Hong Xu had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

He took out a bamboo book and scratched it a few times, and Wei Zhong immediately felt something.

That was the connection between the Taihua Monument and its own existence. A golden light that only Wei Zhong could see appeared in front of him.

"One thousand one hundred and eighty."

In recent times, Wei Zhong's merit points have been increasing slightly, and most of the sudden increase of more than 100 points came from the demons that just disappeared.

"Hey, that's enough!" Hongxu was surprised. Although he couldn't see the exact number, he could tell from the Taihua Stele that his merits had exceeded three hundred.

Wei Zhong looked up, roughly realizing that what he was holding in his hand was the Hun Tian Ce or a higher-level branch than the one in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

'As a key link in the merit system, Hun Tian Ce is bound to be related to Tai Hua Monument. If we find Hun Tian Ce, we may be able to find Tai Hua Monument.'

As Wei Zhong was thinking, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and the number instantly changed to "eight hundred and eighty".

Hongxu threw three jade slips into Wei Zhong's hands:

“Although I don’t know how you obtained the human race’s merits, the Taihua Monument has always been fair, and I don’t want to ask too much.

"As long as you can do your best for our human race."

Wei Zhong accepted the jade slip and bowed in thanks.

Seeing that Wei Zhong really spent three hundred merit points to exchange for the complete set of methods for making the Demon-Suppressing Tower, the two people behind him had expressions of deep surprise on their faces.

"This fellow Daoist Wei is really a reliable person," Bu Wenzhi sighed in his heart.

Not only does he hide his cultivation level, he also conceals his own achievements. He doesn't even reveal his merit points to others when exchanging items, simply for the sake of "safety".

"Also, Wen Zhi, the formation here needs to be strengthened. The fact that the demon Yuanying can pass through this formation is a huge oversight. If the formation is like this, it can't stand up to the power of the fifth-level formation."

If the demon Yuanying is allowed to escape, it will cause great turmoil in the cultivation world of the human world. It may even merge with the demons hidden in the local area, causing more accidents.

This is something Hongxu is extremely reluctant to see.

"Senior, you are absolutely right. I will speed up the perfection of this formation immediately..."

Hongxu gave a few instructions and then left with a wave of his sleeves.

Wei Zhong and others looked at each other and returned to the formation.

Ignoring the numerous formation masters, Wei Zhong walked straight to Ling Ziwei.

"How is it? How many merit points did you get from stopping this demon?"

The latter looked a little excited:
"It's more than forty points, which is much more than what I earned from drawing array patterns these days...

"If you work harder for a while, maybe you can even get the Calming Pill."

Wei Zhong smiled lightly and squeezed his palm. At the same time, the pill bottle in his hand flashed:
"Don't even think about the Calming Pill. See if you can exchange it for something more precious. I, your husband, am a fourth-rank alchemist. How could I be short of a Calming Pill?"

Ling Ziwei nodded with a smile on her face.

The two chatted for a while, and then Wei Zhong went to look for Bu Wenzhi and Wang Qianxi.

This mission is far from over. Wei Zhong will need to spend at least two more years here, and three years before he can return.

Seeing Bu Wenzhi inspecting the magic circle alone, Wei Zhong knew that Wang Qianxi was injured and was recuperating.

Wei Zhong knew nothing about the art of formations. Although he had wanted to practice it in the past, he had too many skills and needed to spend time practicing and cultivating them daily, which delayed him.

So he could only watch Bu Wenzhi busy himself while he sat aside and drank some wine.

Within three days, several Nascent Souls withdrew from the Demon Abyss. Some of the cultivators came from Yunzhou, while others came from Ximo and Beiyuan.

The only thing they had in common was that almost everyone was injured, the only difference being that the injuries were of varying degrees of severity.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong stood up and greeted the two people from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"Did you all have a smooth journey to slay the demons?"

Miaoli Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It's not about killing the devil, it's clearly us fighting desperately to resist in the sea of ​​demonic energy."

There was a hint of fatigue in his words.

Shan Qin beside him replied:

"That's not the case. We have at least pushed the demons back into the Demon Eye, and have once again stopped the demons from breaking out of the Demon Abyss."

The two women are both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage and are the backbone of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. They are the ones who were summoned to lead the expedition this time.

The defense of the Chamber of Commerce was handed over to the injured Yu Tianze and the elderly Du Longfeng. As for the Chamber of Commerce leader Shan Gu, he seemed to have received orders from the higher-ups and disappeared.

Shan Qin looked up at Wei Zhong:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, has your cultivation level reached a new level?"

Since he had already exposed his cultivation level to Bu Wenzhi and Wang Qianxi, Wei Zhong had no intention of concealing it any further. He just managed to maintain his aura at the level of a person who had just entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Exactly. I had a lucky breakthrough a month ago."

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, the two of them stopped teasing. There is no such thing as luck in cultivation. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Wei Zhong advanced all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. One or two small realms could be covered up by luck, but his current state of being in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul could not be explained by the word "luck".

He waved his hand wearily:
"Okay, having said that, the two of us still need to return to the Chamber of Commerce to recuperate and recuperate in preparation for the next mission, so I won't continue to talk to Fellow Daoist Wei here..."

After saying goodbye, the two of them boarded the spirit boat and flew away in a streak of light.

The other monks who withdrew from the Demon Abyss also said goodbye and left, with no intention of staying.

Wei Zhong returned to his usual place and picked up the wine glass to drink by himself.

A month passed like this, and finally some disciples from the Chamber of Commerce arrived.

The person who came was Yu Tianze’s disciple Yu Ziming.

After counting the various spiritual materials, Wei Zhong nodded slowly and put them away:
"How is your recovery going, Fellow Daoist Yu?" The latter bowed.
"Replying to Elder Wei, our master's injuries have been largely healed. Maybe he will be able to come out of seclusion and slay demons in a few days..."

'I'm not one who likes stability.'

After a few words, Wei Zhong waved his hand and threw out a bottle of elixir as a reward for his trip.

The latter then bowed and saluted:
"Thank you, senior!"

Wei Zhong waved his hand, and he tactfully left.

Taking out the various spiritual materials he had just obtained from him, Wei Zhong recalled the method of refining the Demon-Suppressing Tower in his mind.

"Demon Suppression, Demon Suppression. In addition to the materials used in refining having the effect of partially suppressing the demons, most of the effects come from the demon-suppressing spiritual patterns inside.

"The third-tier Demon Suppression Tower can only suppress the physical bodies of demons. It is very effective against blood demons and bone demons, but it has little effect on the inner demons.

"Only when you reach the fourth level can you have the power to suppress the spirits. When a Nascent Soul cultivator exerts all his strength, he can restrain a demon of the same level. Even if he is facing a demon of a higher level, he can still fight for a short time.

"As for the fifth level, it is a whole new world. The power of the demon clan's Yuanshen cannot be rampant here. No wonder in the Hun Tian Ce, a fifth-level demon-suppressing tower costs a thousand merit points."

Wei Zhong shook his head, sorted the spiritual materials in his hands into categories, and at the same time ignited the fire, and the refining officially began.

These spiritual materials are all at the third level or below, and can only be used by Wei Zhong to refine the third level Demon Suppression Tower.

It took a year, and two small towers successfully appeared on Wei Zhong's left hand.

It was suspended half an inch above the palm, spinning smoothly back and forth.

"The third-level Demon Suppression Tower is not difficult at all."

During this period of time, Wei Zhong also learned about the merit points that can be exchanged for Demon-Suppressing Towers of various grades.

The third level is eighty, the fourth level is three hundred and twenty, and the fifth level is eight hundred.

"It's not much different from the cost of exchanging merit points for the Demon Suppression Tower."

The 80% price offset is enough to show sincerity.

Wei Zhong put away the small tower in his hand, without any intention of exchanging it for merit points.

It would be better to leave the mere 160 merit points to Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua for self-defense.

After spending three full years at the frontline of the Demonic Abyss, the mission was finally over. A new Yuanying fellow took over the mission, and Wei Zhong was able to return.

Wang Qianxi accompanied them on the way, and fellow Daoist Bu Wenzhi was in charge of the fifth-level formation and was not allowed to leave.

Wei Zhong looked at Wang Qianxi, whose face seemed pale, and realized that she had not been able to completely heal the wound caused by the devil's claws in more than two years.

It can be said that the opponent was completely unprepared for that claw, and the Blood Demon easily broke through his defense and reached his internal organs.

The subsequent counterattack did not cost any lives, but the injuries were already done and it was too late.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, why not try the Seven Apertures Thunder Technique? This technique has a very strong targeting effect on the blood demon's energy..."

Wei Zhong poured him a cup of tea and the latter nodded in thanks.

This trip is to Yunzhou City. In order to avoid accidents, the two of them teamed up.

After this period of demonic troubles, the human race's top leaders have also summarized countermeasures for the blood demon's injuries.

Among them, the method of medicinal soup and the technique of thunder refining are the most effective.

The medicinal soup is called Demon-Exorcising Soup, but it is made from a variety of precious medicinal herbs and boiled by an alchemist.

This soup has significant medicinal effects, but its raw materials are quite precious, so healing with this soup is hard to come by.

Therefore, the remaining thunder refining method is the choice of most people.

Therefore, the "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" released by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was a hot seller.

Its practice is not complicated and consumes less resources than the practice methods of the same level.

Even if there is not much investment, the speed of practicing by inducing heavenly thunder will not be slow.

What's more, there are already Lei Yuan Dan released by Yunji Chamber of Commerce on the market, which is a precious pill that is beneficial to this practice.

Most Nascent Soul cultivators began to practice this skill as well.

Those who had slightly more merit points, such as those who built their foundation and even formed their elixir, also began to practice at the same time.

For this reason, Wei Zhong had to sigh that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce's pricing for the "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" was that the first level only required one merit point to exchange, while the subsequent second and even third levels required nine and eighty points, and the price increased several times.

It was not difficult to obtain a few merit points. Even for a foundation-building cultivator, you could get them by doing any task. Nine merit points were not too many, and you could also get them by spending some time. The entry cost was very low.

It is not until the third level that a clear dividing line appears.

And this basic first and second level "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" is enough to enhance the overall strength of the human race.

It can be said that merit points were earned and contributions were made at the same time.

The two parted ways in silence after arriving at Yunzhou City.

When Wei Zhong returned to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, he happened to hear that the raw materials needed to refine the fourth-stage Demon Suppression Tower had been collected.

Wei Zhong was delighted and took back all the spiritual materials. He then immediately returned to Yunxiao Lingshan and went into seclusion to refine the equipment.

……

In the southern part of Fengzhou, which is separated from Yunzhou by the Wanshou Mountain Range, many demon monks with their faces and auras concealed gathered here.

Everyone looked at a sacred mountain in the distance. There was thick smoke rising from the mountain. It was an excellent sacred place with spiritual veins and fire veins.

"Is the Demon Realm Ascension Platform really located here?"

Huang Ze tilted his head and looked at the female cultivator beside him and asked in confusion.

It was none other than Mo Jingzhi, the leader of the Qianshui Demon Sect, who was possessed by the inner demon. He looked up and replied:
"It is definitely this place. The Fire Refining Demon Sect is a Jindan force. There are Nascent Soul cultivators hiding in the sect, responsible for guarding the Ascension Platform.

“Those human cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage will not come to a place like this to guard it all year round. They are most likely in the early to middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage and will not be a match for us.

"A quick battle, a quick decision, seize the Ascension Platform, and then reverse the Platform and summon the True Demon to descend to the lower world."

Everyone's faces became serious and they all flew towards the sacred mountain ahead.

After searching the entire sacred mountain, they finally found clues deep in the fire veins.

Breaking through the space layer, a small cave was revealed.

"Who trespassed into the forbidden area of ​​the human race?"

One of the monks looked up and saw the demons no longer hiding themselves, his expression suddenly changed.

"It turns out to be just an old man who is about to be buried in the ground."

Hutt took off his hood, revealing Mo Jingzhi's beautiful face.

"Master Mo, no, inner demon!"

So after hesitating for a moment, several demons had already surrounded him.

Within a few dozen breaths, he was imprisoned on the spot, and his death was no longer under his control.

Looking at the ascension platform in front of them, there was a burning look in the eyes of many demons.

Opposite the ascension platform is the real demon world that all demons yearn for!
