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

Chapter 244: Cultivation Improvement, Level Ink Dragon

After Xie Ruolin left, Wei Zhong walked into Lei Xiutai again with a storage bag of spiritual medicines he had collected.

At this moment, the Lei Xiu Platform was not fully activated, with only one or two bolts of lightning falling occasionally, which was an extremely rare moment of peace here.

Wei Zhong took out the elixir and the monster's inner elixir and started to refine the elixir.

Ever since the Xie family learned that Wei Zhong possessed outstanding alchemy skills, their clan has been providing him with huge amounts of resources.

Among them are both spiritual medicines and magic pills.

On the one hand, he allowed Wei Zhong to improve his alchemy skills, and on the other hand, he collected some of the elixirs and supplied them to the Jie family.

With this distribution of two people, Wei Zhong's alchemy skills improved rapidly with the help of the Jie family.

Especially after learning the method of refining demon pills, after five years in the pool, Wei Zhonghuo's alchemy skills broke through to the master level.

Refining the Nurturing Pill, the Profound Earth Pill and even the Calming Spirit Pill is a piece of cake.

The chance of successful pill formation increases greatly.

Even for the Calming Spirit Pill, only three pills were produced at a time.

According to the records in the jade slip that Jie Yuanrui gave to Wei Zhong, this level is already on par with what it was during his lifetime.

Just like that, in the special environment of the Thunder Pool, Wei Zhong's spiritual and physical cultivation both grew rapidly.

After a year, the spiritual realm will reach a higher level.

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

With the dual drive of Xiao Zixia Dan and Lei Chi Lingmai, the progress of the seventh level of Yuanying was quickly accelerated. Wei Zhong had gone through one-third of the late Yuanying in just eight years.

"The medicinal power of the Xiao Zixia Pill is truly extraordinary," but when he considered that even a Jindan cultivator like Hongxu didn't have many of them, Wei Zhong felt relieved.

It was not until now that Wei Zhong had a breakthrough in alchemy that he was able to barely gain the confidence to refine this pill.

"It's worthy of the name Half-Step Fifth Stage. If Hongxu wasn't a fifth-stage alchemist himself, the success rate of refining this pill wouldn't be that high."

Wei Zhong carefully read the alchemy process described in the jade slip recipe, and finally made up his mind to make the elixir one day.

He took out the alchemy furnace, and each spiritual medicine turned into pure spiritual liquid under the burning of the golden flame.

Wei Zhong's eyes were solemn. At this moment, the Lei Xiu Platform was filled with only the occasional thunder and the sound of burning flames...

"out!"

Wei Zhong spun the alchemy furnace in his hand, and a pill shot into the sky.

The lightning condensed into a big hand and grabbed it into the palm of its hand.

Wei Zhong looked down at the pill. It was red and black in color, much worse than the one Hong Xu had given him. In particular, the pill pattern on it was more withered and incomplete.

"It's slightly worse than the one made by Hongxu, but at least it's an intermediate-grade elixir. It won't be a waste of this pile of elixirs."

Wei Zhong stepped into the cave and placed the Zixia Pill in a special formation for quenching the pill.

"The Xiao Zixia Pill is of a higher grade than the Dingshen Pill, and it takes longer to refine the pill. But I can wait, but I don't know how much improvement I can get."

When making the last Zixia Pill, Wei Zhong did not use the pill-tempering technique in order to improve his cultivation as much as possible.

At this moment, he can practice peacefully in the thunder pool.

Wei Zhong would check the changes in the pills every month and had an estimate in his mind.

"Five years is quite a long time. It is four times longer than the one year it takes to refine the Calming Pill."

Wei Zhong shook his head and chose to wait patiently.

……

Xie Ruolin returned with the elixir she got from Wei Zhong and gave it to her brother.
"Brother Jia, this Uncle Wei's alchemy skills are truly extraordinary. He is infinitely better than those fourth-level alchemists in the clan. I don't know how he can achieve both cultivation and skills. I am really envious of him..."

Xie Sega checked the huge number of elixirs in the storage bag and was amazed. The number of these fourth-grade elixirs was more than twice the usual output of the entire Xie family.

Moreover, the quality is also superior, which is enough to show the superb level of Wei Zhong's alchemy skills.

"How is the progress of Uncle Master's cultivation?"

"It's only been less than ten years. How much has changed?"

Xie Sega frowned:

"Could it be that we asked him to help refine the elixir, which delayed his progress in cultivation?"

His sister was stunned, and recalling Wei Zhong's attitude, she slowly shook her head:
"Not really. Uncle Wei is very active in the art of alchemy. He even asked me to find a few rare spiritual herbs this time. It seems that he intends to refine a furnace of extraordinary elixirs."

After handing over the jade slip, Xie Shijia looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise:
"A 50,000-year-old elixir? This is no ordinary stuff in my Polar Star Sea."

The jade slips held by the two contained the elixirs needed to refine the Xiao Zixia Pill as recorded by Wei Zhong.

Since Wei Zhong didn't know enough about the Polar Star Sea, he couldn't improve the recipe to use the inner elixir of monsters.

Therefore, the Xie brothers and sisters were immediately in trouble.

There aren't many spiritual medicines in the Polar Star Sea, but not few either. However, most of them are located in the habitat of some high-level monsters, so most cultivators who go there basically never come back.

At this moment, a hand reached out to the jade slip in Sega's hand.

The latter two reacted and greeted quickly:

"Ancestor!"

Xie Yuanping saw the contents of the pill recipe, withdrew his consciousness, and said calmly:
"There are still a few magical herbs in the storehouse. Feel free to take them. As for the others that are missing..."

After leaving these words, his figure turned into a ball of golden lightning and disappeared. The next time he was seen, he was ten miles away from here.

"The ancestor actually..."

Needless to say, the two of them had already understood that this old ancestor, who rarely moved, was running around for the elixir.

But this person is a dignified Divine Transformation cultivator, and even a very rare cultivator in the middle stage.

For just a few thousand-year-old elixirs, are you going to take action personally?
If this happened to any other divine being, it would be extremely devastating.

……

Xie Yuanping, who left the Xie family, did not think so. In his opinion, Wei Zhong had only been in the spotlight for a few years and had already given him quite generous rewards.

It's just a few missing spiritual herbs, what's the point of Xie Yuanping taking action?

The light of the spirit's escape flashed frequently, like a ghost, passing through the thunderstorm tornado in the Polar Star Sea.

Xie Yuanping's clothes were not wet at all, and soon he arrived at a very quiet spiritual island.

More than 20 miles outside the island, the sea was calm, with only layer upon layer of waves piling up, and no sign of a thunderstorm.

It seemed as if it was flattened by some mysterious force, and at the same time isolated from the outside world.

After flying to Ling Island, Xie Yuanping rang a big bell on the island.

Soon, a short old man came out from a building on the island.

"Brother Jie, how come you have time to come to my island today?"

Xie Yuanping stared at the old man with a smile on his face:

"Haha, I'm looking for you, old man Yu, so of course I have something to ask you."

Throwing out the jade slip:

"Are these things in your collection?" The latter took them and looked at them for a few seconds:

"They are all magical medicines, could it be that you, Jie Yuanping, have found a recipe for an elixir outside?
"But there isn't a single one that's 100,000 years old. Doesn't it look like a fifth-grade elixir, the top of the fourth grade, or a half-step fifth grade?"

Xie Yuanping interrupted with a wave of his hand:
"Don't guess, I'll just ask if you have it in your hand."

The latter shook his head helplessly, and then replied:
"Most of what is recorded in the jade slip is of course available, but the price... I want your Thunder Elimination Powder."

Then he pointed his finger:

"Three."

"Impossible, at most one. This thing will damage my cultivation, and it is very difficult to refine. If you give me three, you might as well kill me."

Xie Yuanping tilted his head, cutting off Old Man Yu's hope of bargaining.

The latter shook his teeth:

"One is enough, but you need to add thirty high-quality spirit stones."

"Twenty-five..."

Old Man Yu wanted to bargain, but Xie Yuanping said directly:
"Twenty pieces..."

The latter had no choice but to say the deal was done.

As he took Xie Yuanping to get the elixir, there was a hint of resentment in the eyes of the monk surnamed Yu.

"Obviously, it was someone else who came to ask for help, so why am I still at a disadvantage?"

"Speaking of which, Old Man Yu, what do you want this Thunder Elimination Powder for? Could it be that you have found the bloodline you left behind in your early years?"

Don't be fooled by this old man's appearance. He was a handsome young man when he was young and did many romantic things.

It was only because of some secret techniques he practiced in his later years that he became the miserable state he is in today.

"Stop talking nonsense. My younger generations don't have such a blessing."

"So, you've accepted a disciple?"

The latter smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum and nodded:
"Although my disciple has a humble background, his talent is extraordinary. He has a wood-type earth spirit root in his body, and also possesses a wood-type spirit body that I cannot even identify..."

Hearing his eloquent speech, Xie Yuanping's eyes showed surprise.

“With such talent, there is indeed hope that one can advance to the Nascent Soul stage or even the Divine Transformation stage, but time will pass…”

Considering the demon disaster that was urged by Redbeard, such a gifted genius would probably have little time to grow.

After tapping the required elixirs, Old Man Yu said:
"It's still missing a bitter vine, which I saw on a spiritual island in my early years."

Xie Yuanping was given guidance, "Fifty years ago, it was 50,000 years old, and now it is more than enough for alchemy."

Hearing this, Xie Yuanping raised his head:

"With your style of plucking feathers from passing geese, you are not the type to let go of such a treasure so easily."

The latter smiled awkwardly:
"I wanted to get it, but I didn't know it was the territory of the black dragon. My cultivation is not good enough, so I dare not take the risk. It depends on you, brother Jie."

After leaving the Spirit Island, Xie Yuanping held the jade slip in his hands, deep in thought.

There are cultivators who have reached the state of divine transformation in the Polar Star Sea, and naturally there are also divine monsters.

The black dragon is one of them. Not only is its intelligence the same as that of a cultivator, it also has the ability to half-transform.

He is extremely powerful and spiritual practitioners of the same level have no chance of being his rival.

But fortunately, it had no intention of causing trouble and only appeared in its own sea area.

'But if I go to their territory to get the elixir, there will be a fight!

'That's all, let's see what the reptile's attitude is.'

……

On the Lei Xiu platform, the medicinal power of the Xiao Zixia Pill slowly dissipated.

Wei Zhong looked at the panel intently and saw the following words:
[Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul Stage, Level 42 (%)]

"It's too different. One of the reasons is that the potency of the pill is insufficient, and the other is that I took the pill twice, so the effect is weakened. What's more likely is that my own cultivation level has improved, which has made it difficult to make progress."

Each level of Nascent Soul is like a chasm. The further you go, the slower your progress becomes.

This is the reason why great Nascent Soul cultivators such as Shan Gu would stay in this realm for more than three or four hundred years.

'To have achieved such progress in just a dozen years is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"If we continue to calculate this way, it seems that it will only take less than a hundred years to reach the state of Yuanying perfection? There is even time to krypton level in exchange for part of the life span."

While Wei Zhong was daydreaming, he suddenly saw a ray of light coming through the thunderstorm.

Xie Yuanping appeared, his clothes were torn, and he seemed to have injuries on his body, cursing:
"Sooner or later, I'll have to chop up that reptile and make soup..."

While Wei Zhong was surprised, Xie Yuanping had already waved his hand and threw out a storage bag. Wei Zhong took it and found that it contained the elixir he needed to refine the Xiao Zixia Pill.

"The man is in such a mess because he is collecting spiritual medicine for himself."

When I was doubtful, I heard Xie Yuanping continue to say:
"I heard that you are a fourth-level weapon refiner. This scale is for you."

A dark scale, large enough to be the size of an adult's palm, fell into Wei Zhong's hands.

Looking closely, it looks like jade in its entirety, and carries a faint aura of majesty.

“It’s somewhat similar to Tianwei, but also different.”

"This is dragon power," Xie Yuanping explained, "This scale comes from a fifth-level black dragon. I didn't expect this reptile to have some reversion to its ancestors, with a hint of the power of a real dragon. It seems that I have to invite a few fellow Taoists to capture it when I have time."

"Mo Jiao, it's still level five."

Wei Zhong played with the scales in his hand and suddenly became interested.

There weren't many monsters in the human world, most of them were concentrated in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and the Polar Star Sea. Among them, monsters with high cultivation were even rarer, and this was the first time Wei Zhong heard of a fifth-level monster.

Wei Zhong has the "True Seal Treasure Secret" in his hands, which is enough to suppress and subdue monsters of the same level. Even if they are one realm higher, he may still have a chance under the "Time Dao Fa".

"Is that black dragon very strong?"

Wei Zhong asked about the news of the black dragon, and Xie Yuanping nodded and said:

"It's at the early stage of the fifth stage, but it's a little stronger than ordinary human spiritual practitioners like us. Hongxu can barely deal with it, but it's impossible to defeat or even kill it.

"Even if I have a small advantage in cultivation, I can only barely repel it. It is difficult to kill it. I must unite with other fellow practitioners..."

"You actually have such strength!"

"The physical body of that fifth-level reptile monster is much stronger than the spiritual cultivation of human beings like us. Even though I have refined the Seven Aperture Thunder Art to the fourth-level late stage, it is still far from being comparable to it.

“Perhaps only after reaching the fifth level will there be a glimmer of hope for a direct physical confrontation. Now I can only fight with him by using spiritual techniques to play to my strengths and avoid my weaknesses.

"Also, the dragon's might that was emanating from time to time was a problem. It interrupted my spellcasting several times. If I hadn't checked it out, I would have been nearly strangled to death..."

Listening to Xie Yuanping's description, Wei Zhong couldn't help but say:
"Thank you for your hard work, senior!"

The latter smiled, sensing the true feelings in Wei Zhong's words, and warned:
"It's a good thing to improve your spiritual cultivation, but don't forget the method of physical cultivation. When you reach a sufficient level, I can work with you to find an opportunity.

“Let me tell you a thing or two first. That is an opportunity to attain divine enlightenment that countless people are jealous of.

"Hurry up and don't miss it before this demonic disaster breaks out!"
