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

Chapter 240: Late Yuanying Period, Little Purple Cloud Pill

Wei Zhong came out of his training state, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The sight is already towards the panel.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

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

【Shouyuan: 877/1200】

"Finally, I have reached the late Nascent Soul stage."

Wei Zhong stretched his body:
"A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage can live for 1,200 years, which is twice as long as a cultivator in the Core Formation stage and more than four times as long as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage.

"This thousand-year life span is enough to witness the rise and fall of the cultivation world. For those low-level cultivation families, it is enough to cause changes like the sea changes.

“From then on, I always had enough power to protect myself.”

Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, and the mountain protection formation had been completely restored under Ling Ziwei's repair.

No more time and energy was spent on investing puppets in it to create the Five Elements Killing Formation.

Wei Zhong had a rare period of leisure time.

As expected, more than a month after coming out of seclusion, Wei Zhong received a summons from Hong Xu.

Shan Gu personally went to the house and invited Wei Zhong to go with him.

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Wei Zhong was mentally prepared for the summons.

"It's not a bad idea to take on a task, but I hope that Redbeard won't be too stingy."

Concealing his cultivation level, Wei Zhong returned to the outside of the formation in the Demon Eye Passage.

I saw the red beard which I hadn’t seen for a long time.

What surprised Wei Zhong was that the other party had not been guarding the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Instead, he drank by himself in the high clouds outside.

Bow slightly:

"Greetings, Senior Hongxu."

The latter saw the two people sitting down, waved his hand, invited them to come forward, and poured each of them a glass of spirit wine.

"A specialty of the Polar Star Sea, Orchid Tears, try it!"

After hearing this, Wei Zhong knew that his guess was almost right and there was no chance for him to refuse.

However, the Jindan cultivator poured the wine himself, and it looked like the wine was of a fairly high quality, which was already giving Wei Zhong enough face.

Wei Zhong lowered his head and found that the wine was indeed as its name suggested.

The color is blue-purple with a hint of black. The black sediment swirling in it slowly rotates in the cup like a blooming flower.

Seeing Shan Gu drinking, Wei Zhong also imitated him by taking a sip from the rim of the cup.

When he first tasted it, there was a light floral fragrance in his mouth, but surprisingly, he didn't feel much spiritual energy. Wei Zhong was surprised.

Even after finishing the cup, the spiritual energy was still gone.

He put down the jade cup in his hand and saw Shan Gu staring at him in surprise.

Wei Zhong looked at the wine glass in his hand. After he drank it in one gulp, only a thin layer of wine was gone. He immediately knew that it was broken.

Sure enough, within three breaths, a surge of spiritual energy rose from his lower abdomen.

It was so fast that even Wei Zhong, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, was unable to cope with it for a while.

The "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" was running at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time, the "Seven Aperture Thunder Power" was also activated, trying to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy in the body.

Seeing the silver lightning flashing around Wei Zhong, Hongxu nodded secretly.

'It is indeed the "Seven Apertures Thunder Power" of the Xie family. What Dan Gu said is feasible.'

Just as he was about to help Wei Zhong relieve the pain, he suddenly seemed to realize something and his movements stopped.

"senior?"

"This kid has a solid foundation. A small cup of Orchid Tears won't be enough to defeat him."

Sure enough, after more than ten breaths, Wei Zhong eliminated the spiritual energy impact in his body and slowly opened his eyes.

He sighed and cupped his hands:

"Thank you for the wine, senior."

This wine is a reward, but also a test. Wei Zhong knows very well that he wants to use this trick to test his own body-building skills.

The fourth-level body cultivator has a body that is far tougher than the spiritual practitioners of the same level, so his ability to withstand the impact of spiritual energy is naturally much higher.

Just a glass of spiritual wine was enough to completely expose Wei Zhong's physical cultivation.

"Fortunately, the spiritual cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage can still be concealed."

Although he had entered the late stage, Wei Zhong did not intend to be exposed immediately.

Hongxu's eyes showed admiration:

"Yes, there are indeed many mysteries in practicing both the Dharma and the body. To be able to have such a strong talent in thunder magic, do you have a thunder spirit root in your body?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"No, I just got a suitable pill formula. I have made great achievements in alchemy, and with the help of my Nascent Soul cultivation, I have made rapid progress..."

Hearing the ambiguity in Wei Zhong's answer, Hong Xu did not ask any further questions.

"A mere thunder-type spiritual elixir cannot sustain such a fast cultivation speed. There is a little secret, but it doesn't matter..."

"I called you here, I believe you already have a plan in mind."

"Junior understands, but is it because of the Xie family incident?"

Hongxu rubbed his chin with his right hand and nodded.
"That's right. The Seven Apertures Thunder Art was inherited from the Jie family of the Polar Star Sea. It is a ten-thousand-year inheritance of their family, inherited from the former sect, the Thunder Control Sect...

“Unfortunately, the racial war ten thousand years ago left the Yu Lei Sect half-destroyed, and many disagreements arose among the sect’s cultivators, which gradually fell apart.

"Eventually, many cultivation families were formed, represented by the Xie family, the Luo family, the Ge family, etc. Ten thousand years have passed, and now only the Xie family remains, and it is difficult to find any trace of the other families."

'It's no wonder that a family of immortal cultivators under the sect's inheritance would hold such an inheritance from the upper realm.'

"The Xie family's ancestor is very powerful, but he is worried about the survival of the family and does not care about the disaster of the demon clan. This time, I need you to go and persuade him."

Wei Zhong smiled bitterly:

"I am just an idle cultivator. How can I have the ability to persuade Senior Huashen?"

Hongxu put on a sly smile:
"People like Wei Xiaoyou who have enough talent in the Seven Apertures Thunder Art are the marriage candidates that the Xie family has always been keen on.

"As long as you show off your thunder power in front of your clan members, many women from the Jie family will come to you in no time..."

Wei Zhong was surprised. He never expected that Hongxu would have this idea.

"If we can successfully conclude a marriage with the Jie family, you won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future. After all, it is a Huashen family, and the accumulation is so rich that even I cannot compare to it."

Wei Zhong was helpless. Although he was also envious of the cultivation resources mentioned in his tone, it was not his style to live off others.

Seeing Wei Zhong's hesitation, Hong Xu knew that empty talk would not convince him.

He had no choice but to take out a jade bottle, which contained a red-purple elixir, and slowly pushed it in front of Wei Zhong:

"This pill is called the Little Purple Cloud Pill. I improved it based on the fifth-level spiritual pill Purple Cloud Pill. It is at the top of the fourth level. If a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage takes it, it will be enough to equal thirty to sixty years of practice.

"For a mid-stage cultivator like you, you can increase it by 50% on this basis."

Wei Zhong looked at the pill bottle, and his expression, which had never changed, finally changed a little. "Can the junior take a closer look?"

Although he knew that Hongxu, as a Divine Transformation cultivator, would not deceive him, but as an alchemist, he was still very curious about this high-level elixir.

Hongxu waved his sleeves, indicating please go ahead.

Wei Zhong opened the cork and saw golden spiritual patterns on the elixir, which locked the elixir's medicinal power inside without leaking out at all. Compared with ordinary fourth-level elixirs such as Peiyuan Dan and Tianye Dan, it did have completely different characteristics.

"To be honest, Senior, I am indeed jealous of this pill. But is such a small thing really worth such a high price?"

Wei Zhong expressed his doubts at the right time.

"If the demonic disaster comes, can the Xie family remain unscathed? What difference does it make if I invite them earlier or later?"

"It's a small matter?" Hongxu glanced at Wei Zhong, shook his head and smiled:
"It's not a small matter."

He lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking:
"Do you know the divisions of the realms of Divine Transformation?"

Wei Zhong answered carefully:

"It seems to be the same as the Nascent Soul level, with the same three realms of front, middle and back."

"Then guess what my level of cultivation is?"

"This..." Wei Zhong hesitated, "I can't guess it."

Hongxu laughed twice:

"To be honest with you two, I have only been practicing for so long and am still only at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

When he said this, there was a hint of obvious disappointment in his eyes.

Wei Zhong and Shan Gu looked at each other, neither daring to respond.

"Not only me, but also Fellow Daoist Bai Heng and Fellow Daoist Chen Gong of the Chen family are all in the early stage of the Spiritualization stage. It seems that in this world, the Spiritualization stage is close to the upper limit of the world, and the speed of cultivation has greatly slowed down.

"The difficulty of breaking through is far beyond our expectations."

When Wei Zhong heard this, he immediately understood:
'No wonder he went to such great lengths to find the path to ascension.'

“Most of the people who have achieved the state of god transformation in this world are in the early stage of cultivation. Only a few with good chances can break through to the middle stage. As for the late stage, it is not something that can be achieved with ordinary chances.

"The fellow from the Xie family is a rare cultivator at the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. He is so powerful that he can fight against three or four fifth-stage early-stage demons. Even if he faces the same level, with the cooperation of the Demon Suppression Tower, he can defeat many at once.

“It can be said that as long as the Xie family’s ancestor is in charge of this demon-suppressing tower, the fifth-stage late demons will not appear, and the demons will not be able to set foot in our human world.”

Wei Zhong pondered in his heart:
"But what is the difference between the battle between the demons in the tunnel and in the human world?"

Wei Zhong had no idea that the demons once summoned the real demons from the upper realm through the ascension platform.

This is exactly what Hongxu was worried about, so he tried every possible means to block the demons in the passage and not let them take a step further.

This will be enough to buy more time for the human world to contact the spiritual world.

"As long as you accept this mission, whether you succeed or not, this Little Purple Cloud Pill will be yours."

Wei Zhong thought about it and decided to accept it.

After reaching the late Nascent Soul stage, Wei Zhong could sense that his cultivation speed had slowed down again.

Without the help of good elixirs, I would probably have to stay in this realm for a long time.

This small Zixia Pill is indeed what Wei Zhong is in short supply of right now.

"It's only been a few years since we went to the Polar Star Sea. This pill is enough to make up for the time it takes to go back and forth."

With a plan in mind, Wei Zhong raised his head and replied:
"I am willing to take on this task, but I have one request. I need this Little Purple Cloud Pill, or even the recipe for the fifth-rank Purple Cloud Pill. It would be best if there is a matching spiritual medicine."

Hearing Wei Zhong's words, Hong Xu frowned, as if he felt that Wei Zhong was going a little too far.

Shan Gu also felt that it was not good, and he said repeatedly:
"Friend Wei..."

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"I am not asking for a free gift from you, Senior. Instead, I intend to exchange it for my merits."

A hint of surprise flashed across Hongxu's eyes:
"This recipe is not cheap, not to mention the spiritual medicine that needs to be matched."

"That's fine, senior, here's the price you quoted."

After a moment, Wei Zhong looked at the merit points that only he could see, and sighed in his heart.

A total of four hundred merit points were spent, most of which were spent on spiritual medicines, and only a small part was required for the pill recipe.

"You have plenty of merit points, I don't know where you got them from. If you hadn't changed the refining method of the Demon Suppression Tower, you would have accumulated enough to exchange for a fifth-tier magic weapon."

"At this time, how can I hide my merit points and not use them? I'd better seize the time to improve my strength."

"You have a clear view of the situation," Hongxu took out a storage bag.

There are two jade slips, which contain two pill recipes, and a set of supporting spiritual medicines for refining Xiao Zixia Pill.

As for what is needed to refine the Purple Cloud Pill, according to Hongxu, he has gathered all of it. Even if he did, he would not record it into the Hun Tian Ce, but refine the pill to keep it for himself to increase his cultivation.

Wei Zhong looked at the elixirs in the storage bag. Many of them were over ten thousand years old, and some were even over fifty thousand years old.

'No wonder it's so expensive!'

After putting away the storage bag, I heard Hongxu's instructions:

"The Little Purple Cloud Pill is of the top grade of the fourth level, almost halfway to the fifth level. Before your alchemy skills are improved to this level, don't take the risk of refining the pill and waste these spiritual medicines."

Wei Zhong nodded:
“Thank you for letting me know, senior.

"I still have some unfinished business to deal with. I will return to Yunzhou City and will be able to set off in a month."

"It doesn't matter!"

Hongxu didn't care about the one-month buffer time Wei Zhong requested.

He waved his sleeves and ordered Wei Zhong and the other two to leave.

Not long after leaving this place, the light transformed by Hongxu once again went deep into the Demon-Suppressing Tower, staring at the fifth-level demon vigilantly.

When returning to Yunzhou City, Shan Gu had a look of apology in his eyes:

"I took the initiative to drag Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong into this matter. It was really ill-considered..."

"The leader is only doing his best for our human race. Besides, I have also received generous rewards from Senior Hongxu."

Thinking about the little purple cloud pill in Wei Zhong's hand, Shan Gu felt a little sad:
"The Little Purple Cloud Pill is indeed very precious. It is usually only rewarded to cultivators who have made great contributions. Senior Hongxu was so generous this time, which was somewhat beyond my expectations...

"With the help of this pill, I believe that Fellow Daoist Wei will be able to enter the late Nascent Soul stage in a few years."

'That's a good reason.'

Wei Zhong and his party returned to Yunzhou City. When they parted, he took out a jade slip containing information about the Polar Star Sea and gave it to Wei Zhong.

"Then I will come back to look for Fellow Daoist Wei after next month."

Wei Zhong bowed and then returned to Yunxiao Lingshan.

In the training room, Wei Zhong sat cross-legged, took out the Xiao Zixia Pill and swallowed it.

The brief spiritual energy shock was easily eliminated by Wei Zhong, and what followed was the rich spiritual energy that continued to emanate from it.

"It's like carrying a fifth-level spiritual vein with you. No wonder it helps you practice for thirty to sixty years.

"But given my foundation, I'm afraid these thirty years will be enough."

Wei Zhong took out the jade slip of the pill recipe, and after checking it, he wisely did not start refining the pill, but turned around and focused on refining the pill wholeheartedly.
