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

Chapter 237: Peerless Spiritual Clothes, Invincible Defense

With the great battle approaching, Ling Ziwei's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage did not cause much commotion.

However, many people from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce came to Yunxiao Lingshan to congratulate, including fellow Nascent Soul cultivators and many Jindan cultivators.

Wei Zhong and others had no idea of ​​holding a grand Infant Condensation Ceremony. It was better to keep a low profile at this time.

After sending these people away, some relatives of the Ling family also came. They were the great elder who had long retired behind the scenes of the Ling family and Ling Ziwei's brother Ling Hua.

The other person now looks like a middle-aged man and no longer has the youthful and energetic appearance of the past.

He is a little older than Ling Ziwei, and now he probably has less than a hundred years left to live.

As for his cultivation, he is in the late stage of Jindan, but is extremely far away from the Yuanying level. If he does not have a great opportunity in this life, there is no hope for him to condense the Yuanying level.

When he saw Wei Zhong, his face was a little reserved. Only when he saw Ling Ziwei did he feel a hint of familiarity between brother and sister.

"It seems that it was a wise decision for you, Ziwei, to follow Fellow Daoist Wei."

Today, the Ling family is the largest Jindan family in Luohe Prefecture, and its strength is second only to sects like the Jinguan Pavilion.

Not to mention Ling Ziwei, the Yuanying clan elder, who is the most powerful force in Luohe Prefecture.

However, Ling Hua had no idea of ​​using Ling Ziwei's name to expand the Ling family. He even specifically instructed the younger generations in the family not to disturb Ling Ziwei unless the family was in danger of death.

After all, she married Wei Zhong, and the Ling family was just a relative.

There were so many monks in the Ling family that they had changed over the past three hundred years that Ling Ziwei didn't know many familiar faces. Ling Hua couldn't guarantee how much affection there was between the two.

"Brother Ling is wrong. With Ziwei's own ability, it is not difficult for her to condense an infant."

Along the way, Ling Ziwei had relied at most on some of Wei Zhong's spiritual practice pills, and the last one, a calming pill, which she used to break through the barrier.

His level of array master is quite good. If he were to work hard to earn spirit stones, it would not be difficult for him to collect all the elixirs for cultivation.

As for the Calming Pill, in this time of demonic trouble, with his abilities, it is not impossible to exchange for one.

Any fourth-level master of skills is worthy of being trained into a Nascent Soul cultivator in a force like the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said that Ling Ziwei has not been a pendant on Wei Zhong along the way.

However, Wei Zhong had the responsibility of being a Taoist companion, and he used spirit stones to solve many tedious tasks that he was supposed to complete.

Hearing what Wei Zhong said, Ling Ziwei shook her head:
"Thanks to my husband's help, otherwise this trip to condense the infant would not have been so smooth."

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Ling Ziwei took Ling Hua to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce to purchase some of the materials needed by the Ling family.

Wei Zhong knew very well that the other party wanted to use his own value as a Nascent Soul cultivator to make Ling Hua familiar to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, so as to facilitate the future development of the Ling family.

Ling Hua was deeply moved by this. When he returned to Luohe Mansion, he also said that if Ling Ziwei had time, she could come back to the Ling family and see if there were any talented disciples in the family, he hoped that she could take care of them.

As for the rest, there is nothing more to say.

"My brother doesn't seem to be keen on bringing me back into the family."

Wei Zhong naturally understood what Ling Hua was thinking, and patted Ling Ziwei on the shoulder:

"Brother Ling doesn't want you to be bound by the family, nor does he want the younger generations to grow wildly by taking advantage of your Nascent Soul power.

“Having a background that is too strong may not necessarily be a good thing for the Ling family.

"You did a good job in bringing Brother Ling to the Yunji Mountains. With this close relationship with the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, it is enough to handle most of the troubles."

Ling Ziwei nodded. Most of the elders in the Ling family had died due to old age. Now, perhaps only the elder brother Ling Hua could be considered familiar to her. As for the others, it would be difficult for Ling Ziwei to get close to them even if she wanted to.

Ling Hua's move was exactly what he wanted.

A beam of light flew over from the horizon. It was Shan Qin who had just returned from the front line of the Demon Eye.

When the latter heard that Ling Ziwei had condensed an infant, he immediately rushed to Yunxiao Lingshan to congratulate her after returning.

Taking out an elder token that was very similar to the one in Wei Zhong's hand, Ling Ziwei naturally became the special seat of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

Wei Zhong looked at the token in his hand and asked doubtfully:

"Doesn't it mean that we need to add another special seat to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?"

Shan Qin shook her head:
"I don't know that Fellow Daoist Wei is in seclusion, but Fellow Daoist Zhuge Zhao passed away yesterday."

Wei Zhong's expression froze and he sighed:
"I didn't expect that after Fellow Daoist Huang, Fellow Daoist Zhuge would also go so soon."

Thinking back to the time when I studied weapon refining and puppet making with the two of them, it seems like it was just yesterday.

"Today, our Yunji Chamber of Commerce still maintains six elders as special chairmen. When the head of the chamber is not around, all major matters are discussed by the six of us together."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, and Shan Qin took out a storage bag:

"Recently, the demand for spiritual elixirs for cultivation has increased greatly. Whether it is Peiying Pill or its lower level Haoyuan Pill, Heqi Pill, etc., they are all in short supply in the market.

"The other alchemists in the Chamber of Commerce are a little overwhelmed, especially with the fourth-tier elixirs and the third-tier mid-to-high-quality elixirs. We still need Fellow Daoist Wei to help share some of the burden."

Wei Zhong took the storage bag from him and used his spiritual sense to explore it. As expected, he saw a large number of spiritual medicines, ranging from hundreds to thousands of years old.

"How is Fellow Daoist Du these days?"

Shan Qin lowered her eyebrows and shook her head:

"Although Elder Du can still open the furnace to refine pills, his energy is getting weaker as he gets older. I can't assign more tasks to him."

Wei Zhong sighed in his heart. This alchemist Du Longfeng might become the second Nascent Soul cultivator to pass away after Jie Yuanrui in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

"Let Fellow Daoist Du rest for a while. It is not difficult for me to refine these elixirs. Just hand them all over to me."

Shan Qin bowed:

"Then I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Wei on behalf of Elder Du."

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves:

"It's just my job. I have to ask Brother Shan, is there any change on the front line of the Demon Eye?"

The latter had a somewhat relaxed look on his face:

"Everything is normal. As usual, only some level 3 and below soulless monsters will come out of the Demon Suppression Tower.

“No different than it has been in decades.

"Even Senior Hongxu from the Demon Suppression Tower has appeared outside a few times."

Wei Zhong was surprised:

"Is this demon clan not going to fight anymore? They were so aggressive when they broke through the Demon Abyss before, why are they in such a state now?"

Shan Qin was also confused:

“Who knows? Only by asking those seniors who have reached the state of incarnation can we know.

"In short, this period of peace and stability is precious. Regardless of whether a war will happen in the future, my Yunji Chamber of Commerce must be fully prepared."

After talking with Wei Zhong and the other man for a few words, Shan Qin returned to the Yunji Mountains.

While Wei Zhong was deep in thought, Ling Ziwei asked with concern:
"My husband, are you worried about the demons?"

Wei Zhong nodded:

"There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. No one knows what the demons are up to."

Sigh:
"If enemies come, we will stop them; if floods come, we will block them with earth. We just need to do our own thing." He looked up at Ling Ziwei:
“You have just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, and your cultivation is not stable yet. You need to concentrate on cultivation for a while.

"Plus, you have the skill of fourth-level formation, and you will probably be summoned to the front line in the future, so your strength must be improved.

"I have to put various Nascent Soul magic weapons on the agenda for you..."

For Wei Zhong now, refining an ordinary fourth-level magic weapon is not difficult at all, and the spirit stones consumed are just a drop in the bucket of Wei Zhong's wealth.

After returning to the training room, only three months later, a sword and a shield were produced. Both were fourth-grade, mid-level gold-attributed magic weapons, which matched Ling Ziwei's own high-grade gold spiritual roots.

When handing the magic weapon to him, he happened to learn that he had been called up to the front line and was responsible for the daily maintenance of the Jin Jue Xu Tian Formation.

"Just stay in the formation and it won't be too dangerous. Also, you need to think carefully about the path of cultivation after the Nascent Soul stage.

"It's best to change to a method with a higher upper limit, whether it's obtained from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce or exchanged for merits. It's best to be in line with the "Five Elements Spiritual Cultivation Method".

"The cultivation after the Nascent Soul stage is not something that can be smooth for a top-grade gold spiritual root."

Ling Ziwei nodded slowly.

After refining the two magic weapons, he went to the front line of the Demon Abyss with Miaoli Shan.

Wei Zhong watched the two of them disappear into the distance, then returned to his training room.

With golden flames rising in his hands, he began to complete the alchemy task within the Chamber of Commerce.

The alchemy proficiency on the panel continues to increase with the production of one pill after another.

For five years, Wei Zhong spent all his time refining medicine and practicing.

On this day, black spiritual power surged in Wei Zhong's arm, and the data on the panel flashed by.

[Black Water Spiritual Clothes·Peerless]

The body protection technique practiced by Wei Zhong finally reached an unparalleled level.

A mysterious rune hovered in the void in front of Wei Zhong, automatically absorbing the spiritual energy and moisture traveling in the air, and independently formed a black water ball.

Wei Zhong stretched his right fist into it, and it actively climbed onto Wei Zhong's fist, forming a pair of black boxing gloves, and as time went by, it tended to develop into arm armor.

"Just condensed into runes? What a pity..."

Seeing the golden flame forming a fire seed of heaven and earth, Wei Zhong hoped that the black water spirit clothing technique could condense a water seed of heaven and earth.

This is consistent with one's own attributes, and perhaps with its help, the quality of one's spiritual roots can be raised.

Without thinking any more, black water flowed around Wei Zhong, forming a black armor, filled with the fourth-level innate magic weapon Yuanshui beads.

Wei Zhong's consciousness trembled, and he felt an extremely fulfilling feeling.

"This defense..."

A colorful golden bamboo umbrella appeared in his hand, the barrier unfolded, and balls of golden lightning appeared, firing at full power, all falling on Wei Zhong's body covered in black armor.

However, this round of attacks was enough to make even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator unable to resist, and only caused a few ripples on the Black Water Spiritual Robe.

Wei Zhong still had some doubts, so he escaped from the training room and came to a desolate area near a sacred mountain.

A golden thunder sword appeared in his hand, and spiritual power poured into it with all its strength. Lightning light jumped on it until it formed a golden thunderstorm, which fell from the sky and attacked Wei Zhong's body.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if a golden thunderbolt appeared in the sky, striking directly at the black figure floating between the mountains and forests.

"Boom!"

What followed was a continuous crackling sound.

A huge pit extending for dozens of miles emerged from the mountains and forests, as if it was caused by a meteorite from outer space.

Most of the forests on the surrounding edges were destroyed by the earthquake, and many even caught fire due to lightning strikes.

Wei Zhong, who was in the center of the pit, slowly stood up and looked down at the Golden Thunder Sword in his hand. He found that it had been shattered, with most of the tip of the sword missing, as if it had been completely shattered in the collision just now.

This sword was swung out by Wei Zhong with accumulated strength, and its power was definitely no less than that of a strike from a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

When Wei Zhong looked around at his arms and body armor where the black water was flowing, he found that there was not a single scratch on them.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong burst into laughter.

"With this kind of defense, I am invincible below the level of the Divine Transformation."

He soared into the air, waved his hands and turned them into rain, putting out the burning forest nearby, and at the same time dispersed the nearby Chamber of Commerce disciples who were attracted by the commotion.

It turned into a golden light and returned to Yunxiao Lingshan.

The Chamber of Commerce disciples who were attracted by the commotion all showed horror on their faces when they saw this deep pit with no visible boundaries.

"What kind of attack could have such great power?"

Among the people gathered in the Chamber of Commerce, several Nascent Soul masters rarely took action in front of their subordinate disciples.

Therefore, all the disciples only knew that the Nascent Soul was very powerful, but they did not know to what extent.

The extent of this destruction has exceeded everyone's imagination.

A Taoist monk with a white beard emerged from the crowd and nearly tore his beard off:
"My goodness, this is a huge pit. If I were to fall into it with my foundation-building cultivation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to fly out..."

There may be some exaggeration in his words, but it is enough to show the power of Wei Zhong's sword.

This kind of destruction was the aftermath of Wei Zhong's use of his body to defend himself. If he didn't use his body to block it, how much more horrible destructive power would this sword have?
When Wei Zhong was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that no one in the middle stage of Nascent Soul could resist him.

Even Yu Si, who was extremely powerful at the time, was no exception.

After all, Wei Zhong’s cultivation level is no longer what it used to be, and he is only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

Perhaps only a Nascent Soul cultivator is qualified to take on this sword. If one is not careful, he will suffer serious injuries.

Wei Zhong had just returned to Yunxiao Lingshan when a beam of Nascent Soul light flew over from the direction of Yunji Mountain Range.

It circled above the deep pit for a while before flying to Yunxiao Lingshan.

"What wind brought Fellow Daoist Du here?"

The latter landed on a pavilion in the mountains, revealing the figure of Du Longfeng.

"Of course it was Brother Wei's thundering attack."

Looking at the middle-aged monk in front of him, Du Longfeng sighed in his heart.

'When I first met him, he was only at the Jindan stage, but now he has taken a step further and entered the Yuanying stage. I can't even begin to compare with him.'

"Fellow Daoist, this attack is no worse than the one the leader used in his early years!"

"Oh?" Wei Zhong became interested and took out the spiritual tea to taste it.

"Brother Du, can you tell me in detail?"

"When the leader entered the late Nascent Soul stage many years ago, he once had a sparring match with Brother Jie. The destructive power of his moves was almost the same as yours..."

When talking about the past, Du Longfeng's eyes were filled with an inexplicable gleam.

“At that time, I had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, but I could only watch the two fighting from afar. I couldn’t get close, for fear of being torn to pieces by the aftermath of the fight…”

After finishing one cup, Wei Zhong had another, which completely opened up Du Longfeng's mouth and made him know about the past of Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
