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

Chapter 236: Nine Years of Leisure, Ziwei Condensed Infant

Wei Zhong looked up at the two beams of light that had fled one after another, and muttered:
"What is free to watch?"

Thinking of the suspected connection between the other party and the demons, Bai Heng finally let bygones be bygones after decades of guarding the Demon Abyss.

"Forget it, I won't capture him again. I just hope he doesn't get involved with the demons."

He turned his head to look in the direction where Bai Heng fled, it seemed that he was heading towards Fengzhou, or somewhere even farther.

"Is this Demon Eye passage safe? Why are they leaving Hongxu alone to guard it?"

Wei Zhong was filled with confusion, the long laughter of the fifth-level demon seemed to still linger in his ears.

"It's probably because of the True Demon Realm Ascension Platform that these high-ranking officials have some doubts..."

While Wei Zhong was guessing, he had already returned to the outside of the formation.

After several years of accumulation, many cultivators had already gathered near the Jin Jue Xutian Formation, thus forming a market town stretching for several miles.

Wei Zhong was strolling in the market town at this moment, gradually approaching the merit exchange place where the Chen family was located.

At this time, a burly monk wearing a red and yellow robe happened to walk into the pavilion.

"Western Desert Vajra Temple Hui Jian, come to exchange for the fourth-level Demon Suppression Tower."

As soon as the sound was uttered, it was so loud that it deafened the ears of those around.

"Physical training?"

This momentum and his sturdy body showed that he was a true high-level physical cultivator.

"This person is actually from the Vajra Temple..."

The sound of discussions among the group of practitioners could be heard nearby.

Compared with the always high-profile Fuyun Temple, the Vajra Temple in the Western Desert is much more low-key.

Except in wartime, there is rarely any time to see the high-level monks in the temple. At this moment, a master at the Nascent Soul level suddenly appeared, which really made the monks present feel a little strange.

Hearing that he had accumulated enough merits to exchange for a fourth-level Demon-Suppressing Tower, he was even more surprised.

The demons have been suppressed in the Demon Eye Channel for several years and have not come out. Where did Hui Jian earn the merit points?
The amount needed to exchange for a fourth-level Demon-Suppressing Tower is not a small amount, a full four hundred points.

Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators present were not able to accumulate enough in the previous war. All they were thinking about was exchanging for some urgent cultivation items. They would never spend all their wealth to exchange for a fourth-tier magic weapon.

Even special attack magic weapons against demons.

Little did the others know that Huijian was also struggling within himself.

The demons have been suppressed in the Demon Eye for five or six years. If it weren't for the occasional appearance of mindless monsters, people would almost think that the demon turmoil would be quelled.

Hui Jian's heart also bled as he used the 400 merit points he had worked so hard to earn to exchange for a fourth-tier magic weapon.

"How many precious pills would this cost?"

But this is the arrangement made by my senior brother. The acquisition of merit points also depends on his guidance. As for how to use them, I still have to listen to him.

He recalled what Huiming had said in his ear:

"You thought the demonic trouble was over, but you didn't know that the demons were planning something bigger. Arm yourself early, don't wait until it's too late to completely break out..."

Therefore, Huijian could only exchange for the Demon-Suppressing Tower with doubt.

In the pavilion, a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage came out to receive him. Wei Zhong learned from the words of the nearby cultivators that this person's name was Chen Jing.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators of the Chen family are named Chen Zongyuan, Chen Benyi, and Chen Gongxian, and they are in the late, middle, and early Nascent Soul stages respectively.

Chen Jing walked up to Hui Jian and bowed:
"I am honored to be here, Daoist Fellow Huijian. Please give me your merit points. If you don't want to be exposed, I can ask my uncle from the family..."

The latter shook his head:
"No need."

With a flick of his sleeves, a string of small golden characters suddenly appeared above his head: "Four Hundred and Three!"

After careful sensing, Chen Jing found that the number was real, so he took out a black eight-story tower from his arms.

When it was handed to Huijian, the number above his head instantly changed to "three".

Then it turned into golden light and slowly dissipated.

Hui Jian put away the pagoda, bowed to Chen Jing, turned around and turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.

The exchange was so quick that most of the monks present were unable to react.

But there were still a few fellow practitioners who followed Huiming's escape light closely, but it was not known whether they did so out of kindness or ill will.

Wei Zhong looked at Chen Jing at the exchange office and saw him bowing to the cultivators:

"Do you have any other exchange needs? I can help you with that."

As soon as he finished speaking, a few people stood up, but most of them were Jindan cultivators. They took out a few contributions in exchange for some elixirs.

This made the Nascent Soul cultivators present sigh.

'It's a pity that these merit points cannot be circulated among the cultivators. These people feel very regretful when they see these younger generations using merit points to exchange for third-level elixirs that are not worth many spirit stones. After all, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is.'

"Our store also collects a large amount of spiritual materials. If you have any spiritual objects on the list, you can come here to exchange them for spiritual stones, or various spiritual pills and magical instruments..."

Chen Jing pointed to the light screen floating in the air and said so.

Wei Zhong knew that the Chen family had been collecting all kinds of precious spiritual objects since their arrival, which had seriously impacted the market of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

Fortunately, the Chen family was not blinded by greed and used these collected spiritual objects to make a fortune.

Only some low-level products are released for trading with spirit stones, while most of the third-level and even fourth-level magic tools and elixirs are still exchanged for merit points.

For example, magic tools such as the Demon Suppression Tower, high-level elixirs such as the Calming Spirit Pill and the Mysterious Earth Pill, etc. all require merit points in exchange, and are rarely traded with spirit stones.

As for what benefits the Chen family could gain from this action, Wei Zhong had no idea.

After all, collecting spiritual materials costs spirit stones, and cultivators pay merit points to exchange for spiritual objects. These merit points are handed over to the Chen family.

No one can collect merit points from others. This is the rule set by the Taihua Monument.

"Could it be that the Chen family's move is similar to spreading the "Spirit Planting Method"? "

Wei Zhong obtained more than a thousand merit points from this. It can be said that merit points can be obtained as long as one does something that contributes to the human race.

Just as I was wondering, several rays of light returned from the sky.

They were the ones who had chased Hui Jian. Wei Zhong vaguely saw that they looked unhappy, as if they had run into bad luck.

"There are no casualties. It seems that few people dare to cause trouble when the God of Transformation suppresses it."

Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and turned into a ball of lightning and left.

Return to the practice room and concentrate on practicing.

After two years, Yu Tianze and Miaoli Shan came to Yunji Chamber of Commerce to take over.

Wei Zhong and Shan Qin returned to the Chamber of Commerce to rest.

Although for Wei Zhong, there is not much difference between practicing in the two places, he is still happy to see his familiar fellow Taoist.

After relaxing with the two girls for a few days, Wei Zhong took out the refined Calming Pill and handed it to Ling Ziwei:
"This elixir is 15% more effective than the ordinary tranquilizing elixir. It can help you to condense your infant."

The latter looked at it in confusion, because the Calming Pill was rare and he could not see anything mysterious about it.

Wei Zhong told a few things about Zhuo Zecheng, and Ling Ziwei smiled and said:
"Congratulations, husband, for finding another wonderful method!"

"It's just a time-wasting trick," Wei Zhong shook his head. Xie Linghua also came over and looked at the tranquilizing pill curiously.

"Is this the precious Infant Condensing Pill that is so hard to come by in the outside world?"

"It's not hard to find. Right now, we are in a critical situation due to the demonic threat. It's not difficult for a Jindan cultivator to find a way to get one. Even if your sister Ziwei doesn't rely on me, it's enough to get one."

Upon hearing this, Xie Linghua turned around and looked at Ling Ziwei curiously, and the latter smiled and nodded:

"My husband is right. I just need to put in more effort and complete more tasks..."

"It's a pity that I couldn't get the Xuanbing Pill. Only the Xuanbing Pill that has been tempered by the Heavenly Mysterious Ice Flame can be considered a true pill for transcending tribulation. This pill for calming the mind is still a bit ordinary after all."

Wei Zhong recalled the Xuanbing Pill he had taken before, which had saved him from the calamity of his inner demons and left a deep impression on him.

"It is a great opportunity for me to get an enhanced version of the Calming Pill. How dare I ask for more."

Ling Ziwei shook her head slowly and held the pill bottle in her palm.

Wei Zhong sighed and said:
"When the time comes, Ningying must call me out of seclusion to protect you."

The latter hummed softly.

Wei Zhong observed the aura around him, which became more and more condensed, as if the day of condensing his infant and overcoming the tribulation would be in the coming years.

Looking at Xie Linghua again, she had not spent too much time on cultivation since she had reached the stage of Dan formation, so her cultivation level had not improved much.

Instead, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the "Five Elements Spirit Cultivation Method", intending to resume his practice after his spiritual roots were improved.

Regarding this plan, Wei Zhong did not interfere, but let the other party make the choice.

After chatting with the two women, Wei Zhong returned to the Lingshan training room and entered a long period of seclusion.

Nine years passed in a flash. During these years, because Wei Zhong was responsible for refining both elixirs and weapons, he spent most of his time in Yunxiao Lingshan and did not go to the vicinity of the Demon Eye to guard it.

It was a rare peaceful day.

On this day, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion. Clouds were floating in the sky, and there was a vague feeling of oppression.

Wei Zhong looked intently at Ling Ziwei, who was wearing a white dress, and asked:
"Are you really ready?"

The latter smiled lightly:
"Don't worry, my dear husband. I am fully prepared."

With arms swinging lightly, the skirt flutters in the wind:
"I have been stuck at this Jindan level for three hundred years. My accumulation has become so deep that it cannot get any deeper. It is time for a breakthrough."

Wei Zhong nodded, and the colorful golden bamboo umbrella in his hand flew out and fell into his hand.

"I wish Madam success in condensing her baby in advance!"

The latter smiled and bowed slightly while holding up the edge of her skirt:

"Thank you, husband, for your kind words!"

He turned to look at Xie Linghua, who was a little nervous, and nodded slightly.

He sat cross-legged in front of the two people, closed his eyes, and practiced his skills.

The spiritual energy in Yunxiao Lingshan was immediately attracted and flowed towards Ling Ziwei who was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone.

It was as if a spiritual storm had been set off, and a huge spiritual cyclone was born on the top of the sacred mountain.

The disciples of the Shanzhong Chamber of Commerce were all shocked when they saw this:
"This... Could it be that Elder Wei is practicing some secret method again?"

The big commotion created by Wei Zhong's training had already left a deep impression on all the disciples.

But the signs were somewhat different at this moment. More and more spiritual energy gathered in the air, so much so that all the Jindan cultivators in the mountains felt a little depressed.

Then he realized something and said in shock:

"The signs of Infant Condensation? Elder Ling is trying to break through!"

……

Wei Zhong saw Ling Ziwei's breath rising continuously, and his right hand clenched.

He stayed in the Jindan stage for a full three hundred years, which offset all the longevity gained from the period from foundation building to Jindan. After spending so much time, his foundation must have been as solid as it could be.

All the auxiliary spiritual objects needed for various promotions are also fully equipped without any omissions.

"Whether the remaining infant condensation is successful or not depends entirely on chance."

Outsiders may not be able to see Ling Ziwei's current state, but she herself is extremely clear about it.

His spiritual perception had never been so clear before. He clearly saw that the golden true pill had absorbed too much spiritual power and had almost reached its limit.

At the same time, he felt pain in his body due to the large amount of spiritual energy gathering.

"Not enough, not enough. This amount of spiritual energy is far from enough to break the elixir into an infant."

He took out a magic pill and swallowed it, and immediately felt a huge amount of spiritual energy exploding in his meridians.

This is the small infant-nourishing pill refined by Wei Zhong, which is between the third and fourth grades.

It is nothing for a Nascent Soul cultivator, but it is not something that can be easily digested by a Core Formation cultivator. If the spiritual energy contained in it cannot be refined in time, it will sooner or later burst the cultivator's own meridians.

But Ling Ziwei needed this kind of violent stimulation at this moment.

"Ah!"

Ling Ziwei put all of her consciousness into the true elixir.

As a shattering sound was heard, cracks appeared on this real pill one after another, and finally it disintegrated layer by layer.

The stable true elixir turned into a gorgeous nebula hovering in the middle dantian in the blink of an eye.

His consciousness floated and roamed in it, and finally, as if he had found his true self, an illusory Nascent Soul body slowly emerged.

The Nascent Soul was about an inch tall, not as tall as Wei Zhong's initial Nascent Soul, and it was illusory and transparent. One could only vaguely see some of Ling Ziwei's appearance on its blurry face.

However, no matter how illusory the Nascent Soul is, it will eventually be achieved.

Ling Ziwei's Nascent Soul opened its eyes and absorbed all the nebulae around it. Its body gradually became more solid and continued to grow, eventually remaining at a size of two inches.

At this point, the first step of the breakthrough, Condensing the Infant, has been completely completed.

He swallowed the calming pill at the bottom of his tongue, and a cool feeling surged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Wei Zhong watched the aura around him rise continuously and finally stabilize, and he knew that his Infant Condensation had been completed.

In just a moment, black clouds formed in the sky.

The inner demon tribulation that broke through the second step failed to hinder him at all, and the final heavenly thunder tribulation had arrived.

He opened his eyes, looked at Wei Zhong and the other two with a smile, then flew into the air, passing through the protective aura of the Five Elements Killing Formation and heading straight for the black clouds above his head.

"Sister Ling, is this going to happen?"

Wei Zhong nodded heavily. Breaking through the Nascent Soul stage tests one's foundation, one's character, and the third is the heavenly thunder tribulation, which tests the cultivator's overall strength.

For Wei Zhong and the people around him, this is the simplest item. A seven-colored golden bamboo umbrella alone is enough to withstand several thunder tribulations.

As expected, thunder flashed in the sky and eight thunder tribulations passed in the blink of an eye.

The most powerful ninth thunder tribulation was also easily broken by the secret technique of substitution.

Ling Ziwei descended holding the treasure umbrella with a dim light, gently stroked the messy black hair on her forehead, and smiled at Wei Zhong.
