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

Chapter 277 Chengdao Stone, Spring and Autumn Five Methods
"Golden elixir is indeed tempting. Senior sister, you are born in a family of immortal cultivators and you cannot escape this temptation..."

Zhang Dongxue slapped him on the head:

"What nonsense! This is a treasure that can increase the chance of success by 30%. Even if it is combined with the three tubes of Grade III nutrient solution, it will be enough to increase my chances by 45%.

"Even if I emptied my family's savings, I might not be able to buy this precious pill."

The various spiritual objects that form elixirs have the same effects, and the increase in the success rate of forming elixirs is not a simple additive relationship.

But for most of the immortal cultivators in Jiuzhou, both the golden elixir and the level III nutrient solution are the most universal treasures for forming elixir.

Especially the former, many cultivators are not qualified to purchase it at all, even those who have already reached the Jindan stage are no exception.

'Zhonghu University is able to give us two such treasures as rewards. It seems that they value Senior Jie very much.

"Yes, pay attention!"

Tong Yunxing waved the storage bag in his hand and murmured:
"Senior, what do you think those old guys mean? They are using this kind of spell to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator. Aren't they worried that the other party will get angry and embarrassed?"

The latter rolled his eyes:
"Of course I'm worried. Aren't we sending you and me, who have only met him once, to help? Do you think we can get this golden elixir for nothing? If he gets angry, he might tear us to pieces first."

"So, senior sister, are you afraid?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but in order to 'form the golden elixir', it's worth it!"

The flying boat didn't sail for long before it arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

A passage automatically opened up in the clouds above their heads, and the two got off the flying boat and escaped into it.

At this moment, Wei Zhong was sitting by the swimming pool basking in the sun. He changed into modern beach pants, wore sunglasses, and lay on a bamboo lounge chair.

In the swimming pool nearby, Da Jin, who had shrunk in size, was swimming, occasionally showing his head and spitting out a string of bubbles.

Such a relaxed state really surprised Zhang Dongxue and Tong Yunxing.

'This senior has adapted to the new environment really quickly!'

Wei Zhong ignored him and stretched out his right hand to ask:

"Where are the things you brought?"

The two of them immediately handed over two storage bags, and then sat aside waiting for Wei Zhong to check.

Wei Zhong probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag, took out all the jade slips and piled them aside.

"Yeah, that's enough!"

After picking up a jade slip and looking at it, he frowned slightly.

After finishing reading the next one, Wei Zhong moved on. He read very quickly. In just a few minutes, he had finished reading most of the jade slips.

Such progress made Zhang Dongxue and Tong Yunxing sweat on their foreheads.

Most of the contents of the jade slips are records of martial arts techniques. It is not difficult to memorize them all, but it is very difficult to understand their deep meanings.

If the two of them were to look at this pile of jade slips, there would be no results at all without three days.

Wei Zhong looked at it so quickly that the two thought he was not satisfied with it.

To be honest, Wei Zhong was indeed not satisfied. Most of the jade slips he had read were about skills, and a small part were about magic or special secrets, as well as common sense about the way of immortals.

In the practice of martial arts, 70% of the practice is to lay the foundation, and 30% of the practice is to form the elixir.

There is only one Yuanying Gongfa, named "Xuanyuan Zhenhai Jue", which has a profound purpose and takes the path of constantly tempering one's own spiritual power. But in Wei Zhong's opinion, it is just like that and cannot be compared with "Spring and Autumn Refining Water Jue".

It took Wei Zhong only ten minutes to finish reading all the jade slips.

The spiritual consciousness at the level of transformation is so powerful.

However, the two students from Zhonghu University who saw this scene did not dare to breathe, for fear of being punished by Wei Zhong.

"I've finished reading it. I want to ask you two some questions."

The two of them felt relieved and answered respectfully:

"Senior, please feel free to ask any questions. We will answer all your questions."

Why did they send Zhang Dongxue and Tong Yunxing? Isn't it because they saw that they have low cultivation and limited knowledge?
In other words, even if the two were searched by Wei Zhong and all their memories were taken away, Jiuzhou would not lose anything, and there was no possibility of confidential information being leaked.

Because the two of them didn't share any secrets at all.

“I see that although these spells are scattered, most of them are of the five elements and of a single level, and some of the five elements skills are related to each other.

"For example, the "Gold Forming Technique" and "Mysterious Water Skill"...

“Although the highest of the three is only the foundation-building level, there seems to be some kind of connection among the five techniques, as if they were designed by the same person.

"Is there any other technique that integrates the five elements and possesses the five methods?"

Tong Yunxing looked confused, but Zhang Dongxue was a little surprised.

"As far as I know, there should be no higher level of these five methods. However, this idea of ​​​​gathering the five elements into one does exist in my Jiuzhou.

"Since we first entered the immortal path, the school has provided us with five books of five-element exercises with different attributes for us to choose from.

“I didn’t know the reason at first, but I found out after my parents explained it to me.

"Most of the five-element techniques in my Jiuzhou are divided into two categories: mainstream and non-stream. The mainstream ones are divided into five elements and five methods, and any one of the techniques can be used as a separate method.

"But at a certain stage in the practice, the five methods will be integrated and become one, and the practice will continue along the path of the five elements."

Tong Yunxing was confused after hearing all this, but Wei Zhong seemed to be thinking about something.

When he asked Lei Long, he was met with disdain:
“In the spiritual world, after a cultivator enters the realm of refining emptiness, he will indeed integrate the five elements.

“But it is not the integrated five elements technique, but the cultivator himself, gathering the five elements spiritual roots.

“The only people who forcibly practice the Five Elements Kung Fu are probably the guys from the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

“But the other party has a legacy from the Immortal Realm. He practices the Five Elements in order to better master the laws of the Five Elements. There is a reason for that.

“In addition to the five elements, there are many other ways to refine the void.

"This is a small foreign land of Kyushu, the highest level is just the Divine Transformation, such behavior is totally unreasonable."

Wei Zhong asked back:

"How do you know that the highest level of cultivators in Jiuzhou is only the Divine Transformation?"

"This……"

Lei Long was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

Wei Zhong looked at Zhang Dongxue and the other person and continued to ask:

"Are there any cultivators in Jiuzhou who have surpassed the Divine Transformation Realm?"

The two looked at each other and answered uncertainly:

"I think so."

"Well, it's just a waste of time!"

"You two should know what kind of method the Yuanying cultivator named Han Zhan practices, right? Just the name, any name will do."

"This is not a secret. Everyone in the defense city knows that what he practices is one of the five methods inherited from my Jiuzhou Spring and Autumn Period, called..."

Gazing at the departing spirit boat, Wei Zhong murmured:

"The five methods of the Spring and Autumn Period, the gold refining method, the wood refining method, the water refining method, the fire refining method, and the earth refining method. They are clearly the five elements methods that have been passed down from generation to generation.

“But I have never heard of the name of the technique after the five elements are combined into one.

"Did Jiuzhou deliberately block the news, or does it simply not have a complete inheritance?"

Wei Zhong was full of doubts, but he couldn't get any answers.

"I didn't expect that there really is a spell similar to yours in the Nine Provinces." There was amazement in Lei Long's words.

"Is it inherited from the same upper realm, or did the skills from the Nine Provinces flow into the human world?"

Wei Zhong was also puzzled by this point, but no matter which of the two was chosen, there would be an obvious problem.

That is the [Taoism of Time].

This is one of Wei Zhong's major reliances in his practice. Using his lifespan to cross a major realm is truly a method that breaks common sense.

The carrier of the magic spell is the black stone that Wei Zhong has always hidden.

Yao Zhengsheng obtained the first half of "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art", but did not get the black stone, nor did he inherit the Taoist magic from it.

His strength can only be considered decent among his peers, but not top-notch.

"What about the Jiuzhou Steps? Are there any such black stones left, and the [Time Dao Law] recorded on them?"

Wei Zhong took out the black stone and wanted to ask Lei Long about it, but when the other party saw it, he was surprised and said loudly:
"Chengdao Stone?"

"What is this?"

The latter explained a long passage to Wei Zhong in a trembling voice.

The general meaning is that this item is an absolute treasure from the fairyland and a carrier for the immortals' Taoism.

What is Taoism? It is a powerful immortal method that connects the long river of laws. This kind of method often has the ability to change the world. It is not comparable to the immortal method that uses the power of laws.

Such Taoist methods cannot be recorded on ordinary jade slips. They must be recorded on special materials that have been washed away by the power of the law. This is the Chengdao Stone.

“In the spiritual world, only the Five Elements Immortal Sect has such a stone. It is said that it contains a Taoist magic that originated from the Five Elements Immortal Palace in the immortal world and exists to select true disciples.

“Anyone who inherits this Taoist method is a descendant of an immortal. As long as they don’t die halfway, they will surely fly to the immortal world and become a unicorn son among the great forces in the immortal world.

"Sir, you can actually inherit the Taoist teachings. This, this, this, is simply a reserve for immortals!"

Wei Zhong did not seem to be very excited when he heard this, but instead fell into deep thought:
"There is only one treasure in the fairy world, how can there be one in the human world?"

"This……"

Lei Long couldn't explain this either.

All we can say is that Wei Zhong is very lucky, maybe he was attracted by the "Record of Time".

Wei Zhong did not rule out this possibility, it was just too much of a coincidence.

……

Tong Yunxing, who was leaving Lingshan, asked curiously:
"Why didn't you give that old textbook to Senior? Maybe if Senior is happy, you can get more rewards."

The latter shook his head:

"Even a bottle of Qidan can't shut you up?"

After the two left Lingshan, they each received a bottle of Heqi Pill from Wei Zhong.

This is a pill that Wei Zhong had casually made before. It is of top-grade quality and is suitable for use by cultivators who are building their foundation.

The two were overjoyed to receive such a reward. They came here at the risk of their lives, not only did they not suffer any loss, but they also received a reward.

It was enough to surprise them both.

"The portraits in textbooks are mostly coincidental. The two people were born too far apart in time to be related."

Based on their understanding, even if the portrait was exactly the same as Master Wei Zhong, they would not regard the two as the same person.

"It may earn you a smile if I take it out, but such high-level cultivators are temperamental. If they think that we are teasing each other, they may get furious."

Tong Yunxing muttered:
"I think Senior Jie is a very emotionally stable expert."

After returning to the defense city, the two told Guo Qicai what they had seen and heard in Lingshan, and handed the Heqi Pill to him for inspection.

The latter picked up the pill and examined it, and found that it was of extremely high purity, with very few impurities and poison, and was the best of the best.

I wondered:

"Such a high-quality pill, could this person be an alchemist?"

Return the pills to the two of them:

"The pill is good, you can use it without worry. In addition, you two have successfully completed this mission, and the 'Golden Pill' will be delivered to you two soon..."

The two left happily, and Guo Qicai reported the news of the successful completion of the mission to Jiang Liyong and the other two.

"Alchemist? An unknown fish monster even figured out the method of combining the five elements of the Nine Provinces?"

Han Zhan and others were greatly surprised.

Guo Qicai nodded in confirmation:
"That's exactly what those two little guys said."

"This person really should not be underestimated. He was able to deduce such a law based on just a few random low-level techniques. His vision is several levels higher than the three of us."

The three of them asked themselves that if they were in Wei Zhong's position, it would be impossible for them to make such an inference.

"Jie Yuanping is a person that the three of us can handle. We still need to ask the senior who has transformed into a god in our clan for help."

Gu Xi and Jiang Liyong both agreed.

After dismissing Guo Qicai, Han Zhancai asked:

"Did Fellow Daoist Gu think of a suitable exchange item?"

The latter stroked his beard and nodded slowly:

"In my early years, I once learned a method of using elixirs to cultivate monsters. Perhaps this fellow Daoist Jie would be interested."

"But what about the Li Yuan Long Ling Dan?"

"That's right. This pill is made by refining the dragon blood in the bodies of all monsters. It is of great help to the monsters in developing their bloodlines... It just so happens that there is no shortage of dragon-blood monsters in this world, so it complements each other."

"As the discoverer of this elixir method, Fellow Daoist Gu has the right to exchange it with others. But it also depends on whether Fellow Daoist Jie is willing."

Gu Xi thought about it again and again, and said:
"Whether you succeed or not, you have to try it after all."

The next day, Wei Zhong was looking at the defensive city from afar when he saw a beam of light flying towards him.

Unlock the protective formation and let the latter fall into the sacred mountain.

"So it's you, Fellow Daoist Gu. I wonder why you've come here today?"

The latter did not rush to explain his purpose, but instead looked around:

"Fellow Daoist, are you used to living here? I, Jiuzhou, am sorry for the failure..."

"No, no, I am quite satisfied..."

After a lot of flattery, the two of them turned the topic to business.

"The magic sword in Fellow Daoist Jie's hand is extraordinary. Is it made from ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo?"

"Brother Gu really has a keen eye," Wei Zhong instantly guessed the purpose of his visit.

"To be honest, I am very interested in this golden thunder bamboo. I would like to exchange it for a ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo root from Daoist Jie. May I know?"

As he spoke, he also pushed out a jade slip. Wei Zhong picked it up and examined it, and discovered that it contained a miraculous alchemy technique.

'Li Yuan Long Ling Dan? It's a rather strange elixir method. All monsters gather together to forge a precious elixir that can help monsters break through the mirror and cultivate dragon blood. The important thing is that there is no limit to the quality of the elixir. The upper limit depends entirely on the number of monsters selected and their grades.'

"Yes, I am indeed interested in this method."

The two of them completed the transaction happily, and just as Gu Xi was leaving happily, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from afar.

"A fifth-level demon?"
