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

Chapter 315: Equipment Refining Business
Wei Zhong was stunned:
"Your consciousness?"

As a result, the latter touched his head and seemed confused.

Wei Zhong sensed the true seal, and the five marks on his body did not loosen, indicating that he was still under Wei Zhong's control.

"But this intelligence..."

Wei Zhong sensed the other party's soul, which was still as chaotic as a dark cloud.

'The "Spiritual Corpse Raising Technique" states that corpse refining is just simple spiritual intelligence, but it is obvious that the Death Shadow has shown signs of going beyond this scope.

'Could it be the effect of devouring the souls of those monks?

'Or, the root cause is that the other party's body comes from the demon world and is affected by the demons of the upper level.'

Wei Zhong had no idea, so he asked the other party some simple questions in succession. The latter scratched his head and chose some of the answers, although most of them were irrelevant, showing an intelligence lower than that of a three-year-old child.

However, it can be shown that the other party's intelligence has indeed increased significantly.

It is no longer a simple corpse refiner that obeys orders.

"Never mind. Regardless of whether it has intelligence or not, I cannot destroy this corpse in my current state. I'd better keep it with me as a guard."

"As long as it does not escape the control of the True Seal, and we are careful not to bring it into the demon world, everything can still be controlled."

Wei Zhong shook his head and waved his sleeves, and the latter's figure suddenly disappeared.

Walking into the depths of the cave, Wei Zhong sat down cross-legged and looked intently at a corner of the panel.

[Magic: Five Elements Aura·Proficient (29%)/Gray]

This method was the protective method that Wei Zhong had just used when he was dealing with the six corpses. It was the superior technique of the Black Water Spirit Robe after gathering all five elements.

One needs to have the cultivation level of Lianxu to perform this skill. However, now that his cultivation level has dropped back to Huashen, this skill cannot be used for the time being.

Compared with the almost tangible [Black Water Spirit Robe] before, this technique is like an illusory nebula, like a layer of mist that blocks everything out.

Wei Zhong could only barely control it to attach to his body surface, and he couldn't control its shape change like the [Black Water Spirit Clothes] to condense into shields, armor, etc.

'Perhaps after you become more proficient, there will be some changes.'

Wei Zhong moved his eyes upwards and looked at the top few rows of data.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Spiritualization (seventh level, 28%)]

【Shouyuan: 2844/3000】

During the more than ten years in Feiyu Fairy City, Wei Zhong never slacked off in his practice, and his cultivation level increased significantly.

However, every time he encountered an enemy outside the city, he lost 600 years of his life due to two uses of the [Time Spell]. Now he only has 156 years left until the deadline.

If an ordinary person had already started preparing for his funeral at this time, Wei Zhong fortunately had the ability to save his life with kryptonian-level skills.

“Now that I have returned from Feiyu Immortal City, the news that I have killed Lianxu with my strength will surely spread soon.

"With this kind of information as a deterrent, Shahemen will surely have a peaceful life. No blind cultivators will come to provoke us, and I will be able to practice well for a while.

"Improve your cultivation and level up to replenish your lifespan."

Thinking of this, Wei Zhong's mind gradually sank into cultivation, and the "Five Elements Dao Building Sutra" slowly circulated in his body.

Forty years passed in the blink of an eye.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Spiritualization (eighth level, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 2884/3000】

"Krypton level once."

The panel suddenly flickered, and a vitality rose again from Wei Zhong's body, freeing him from his old age.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Late stage of Spiritualization (seventh level, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 2624/3000】

He had taken pictures of the communication jade talismans outside the cave, and found that most of them were about trivial matters. Only one jade talisman came from the Xuanxiao Sect of Feiyu Immortal City. It was Yuhui representing Feiyu Immortal City to purchase the Five Elements Spirit Pearls from Wei Zhong.

When he heard that Wei Zhong had beheaded six corpses, he guessed that Wei Zhong had already refined a sixth-level spirit bead.

Although they didn't know what its attributes were, this powerful weapon still made Xuanxiao Sect very interested.

When I looked at the time on the jade talisman, it was already ten years ago.

"Unfortunately, I have been immersed in cultivation for the past forty years and am not very enthusiastic about refining equipment."

Jiang Changyu was summoned and told to come out of seclusion the next time someone from Xuanxiao Sect came.

He immediately turned around and started practicing again, but this time he had a relatively sufficient lifespan and was still some distance away from his death, so Wei Zhong was not very busy in his practice.

While practicing, he also used his spare time to pick up the art of refining equipment again.

Five years later, a sixth-level water-based magic weapon appeared in Wei Zhong's hands.

“Although this magic weapon is powerful, its disadvantage is that it is a one-time weapon and will be destroyed after use.

"It's much more expensive to use. It can only be used as a killer weapon. For regular combat, ordinary magic weapons must be used as the main weapon."

Wei Zhong, who understood the key, immediately stopped studying the low-level spirit beads and focused on the fifth and sixth levels.

In the following years, Wei Zhong refined six-level spirit beads with the attributes of fire, wood, and gold, including two water spirit beads, a total of five.

The price was that the rare spiritual objects in Wei Zhong's hands were almost used up, and even if the Shahe Sect tried its best to collect them, it could not keep up with the progress.

"It seems that the road to Feiyu Xiancheng Xuanxiao Sect must be opened up, otherwise the refining of the spirit beads will come to a standstill sooner or later."

Three years after Wei Zhong fell into a bottleneck in weapon refining, a team of spirit boats set out from Xuanxiao Sect and passed by Shahe Sect.

A female elder and two young disciples fell down from it.

Wei Zhong saw the jade talisman in front of the cave and came out to greet it.

"Greetings, Senior Yu!"

The visitor was Yu Hui, the elder of Xuanxiao Sect, who had met Wei Zhong once.

As for the people behind him, they were two Divine Transformation disciples. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be true disciples of Xuanxiao Sect, but Wei Zhong did not recognize them.

"I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Wu Se has successfully refined the sixth-level spirit beads. This time I came here to buy a few for self-defense."

Wei Zhong chuckled and said:
"I've already prepared it for you, Senior!"

With a wave of his sleeves, two spirit beads suddenly appeared on the stone table.

One is azure blue all over, which is the water element. The other one is gold and silver, and looks like chaos, which is the thunder element.

"These two items are the result of my nearly one hundred years of hard work. They are level six spiritual beads of water and thunder."

Yu Hui looked at it curiously, it seemed that this was not the first time she had seen this kind of magic weapon. With spiritual power attached between her fingers, she knocked on the spirit pearl, causing the power inside the pearl to gather and it seemed that it was in danger of exploding.

Feeling this power, the two Divine Transformation disciples couldn't help but tighten their robes, as if they were ready to escape at any time.

Fortunately, Yu Hui's method was quite clever. He always distributed the power evenly throughout the spirit bead and did not detonate it.

"Yes, Daoist friend, your skills are indeed exquisite, this spirit bead is much better than any I have ever seen.

"In terms of power and stability, it is far ahead.

"I wonder what price you plan to sell it for?" Wei Zhong had already made up his mind.

"This water-type spirit bead is priced at one top-grade spirit stone. No bargaining."

Yu Hui's eyebrows moved:

"Can!"

Wei Zhong turned his gaze to another lightning spirit bead:
"As for this lightning bead, I'm sure you can see something different with your eyes. Its power has far exceeded that of the water system. I will pay you three top-grade spirit stones for it."

Yu Hui frowned. This price was already equivalent to the value of an ordinary sixth-level magic weapon.

The sixth-level inferior red glass sword was once sold at an auction for only three hundred high-grade spirit stones.

The theoretical price of this spiritual bead is a top-grade spiritual stone, and its actual price is even higher.

Seeing Yu Hui hesitated, Wei Zhong added:
"Senior, don't doubt it. This bead is definitely worth the price. I have personally tested it and found that this lightning bead can destroy a powerful body comparable to the early stage of the sixth level of body refining.

“Even if it is used against a cultivator in the middle stage of Void Refining, it is still a powerful weapon.”

Yu Hui seemed to be thinking, and asked hesitantly:
"Could it be that the Blood Wolf Gang that Daoyou is talking about is Lianxu?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"Yes and no, this person is not an ordinary Lianxu without any background. He is the Six Corpses Master who participated in the opportunity snatching in Feiyu Immortal City a hundred years ago.

“He is originally a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm, and he has mastered the art of corpse refining. His strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm.

"I had a conflict with him before. If it weren't for Senior Yu from the Five Elements Immortal Sect who came to my rescue, I'm afraid I would have been...

"At that time, he was severely injured by Senior Yu, and all his original corpses were destroyed. His cultivation level dropped, and he was almost possessed. He then practiced the way of refining himself into a corpse, merging half of his original corpse with himself to form a corpse-refining body.

"In terms of strength, he is not weaker than a regular sixth-order early-stage body-refining cultivator, and is even approaching the middle stage.

"The corpse in my hand is as fragile as a toy in front of him..."

After explaining the strength of the six corpses, Wei Zhong pointed to the thunder bead on the table.

"If I hadn't been lucky enough to refine a sixth-level lightning bead, I wouldn't have been able to seek this chance of survival in this critical moment."

After hearing what Wei Zhong said, Yu Hui seemed to be somewhat convinced.

Rubbing his smooth chin with one hand:
"In that case, I will trust you this time. I will buy this lightning bead. I hope you will not be disappointed."

"Senior, don't worry!"

When the two of them made a deal, Wei Zhong did not take the spirit stones. Instead, he exchanged most of them from Yu Hui for various rare spirit materials to be used for refining weapons and elixirs in the future.

The deal was done. Wei Zhong looked at the spirit boat floating not far above the Shahe Gate and asked curiously:
"Excuse me, Senior, your clan has such a big battle, but are you going out to fight?"

"Fighting? That's true. Do you know the abyss?"

Wei Zhong nodded:
"The abyss that was blasted out by the seventh-level wind and lightning bead?"

Yu Hui sneered:
"Although the Wind and Thunder Pearl is powerful, it is not capable of this. It is just that the abyss already existed, and it was just a weak spot that was accidentally affected.

"Inside the abyss is a bottomless space where all kinds of undead creatures breed and spread. We are just following the orders of our superior to clean up the mess."

'The upper sect, the Five Elements Immortal Sect.'

"Undead creatures, could it be that the land below this dark abyss is really the underworld?"

Yu Hui shook her head:
"Who knows? However, the mainstream view among the various sects is that this place is a passage that connects to a secret underground realm."

"Every passageway needs a Lianxu to be in charge. If it is really a secret realm, then what is the scale of this secret realm?"

Wei Zhong took a deep breath and listened to Yu Hui continue to explain.

"There are all kinds of undead creatures in the secret realm, as well as all kinds of unique and rare resources. For example, some of the raw materials for the Lingbi Soul-Calming Pill were obtained from the Geming Abyss.

“In addition to this, there are many unique spiritual objects that attract cultivators like us to rush there. Not only the various sects, but even independent cultivators from all directions are constantly gathering there.

"My friend Wu Se, if you have time, you can go and have a look."

Wei Zhong nodded upon hearing this, but he said:

"If you can collect some rare items in the Abyss, you can trade with me. I can use the spirit beads and spirit stones in my hand to exchange..."

The two chatted for a while, and then Yu Hui took his disciples back to the aerial spirit boat and left.

Wei Zhong looked up at the sky thoughtfully:
“Is the dark abyss and undead creatures another unique dangerous area and resource point?
"I hope the latter won't affect me here."

However, after calculating its location, it was at least one spiritual domain away from the Sand Crane Gate. As long as it was not a major disaster that would bring disaster to the entire region, it would not be that serious.

Just as he was about to return to the cave, Jiang Changyu suddenly reported that Wei Yuesheng, the leader of the Illusion Sword Sect, wanted to see him.

Wei Zhong was surprised, and after a while he saw Wei Yuesheng himself.

The other person has changed greatly compared to a hundred years ago. His black hair has become a mixture of black and white, and his face is visibly haggard.

Seeing Wei Zhong, the other party cupped his hands:
"Greetings, fellow Taoist Wu Se!"

He did not put on the slightest airs of a Void Refinement cultivator and treated Wei Zhong as an equal.

"Brother Wei, why are you here today?"

The latter flattered him for a few words before telling his purpose:

"I came here to ask for a few Five Elements Spiritual Pearls."

Wei Zhong was not surprised at all. He had spread the news of his success in refining spirit beads decades ago. Not only Xuanxiao Sect, Feiyu Immortal City, but also the entire Baifeng Spirit Realm outside the city should have known about it.

"Yes, we do, but what level do you need?"

"A few fourth-level, fifth-level, and preferably sixth-level ones."

The other party seemed to be just trying his luck and had no clear goal.

Wei Zhong invited him to sit down and talk slowly.

After a few words of guidance, the latter immediately opened up.

It turned out that due to the disappearance of Gu Shuping, the great refining elder of the Fantasy Sword Sect, a great change had taken place in the Fantasy Sword Sect.

All the other forces that had previously relied on their might to bully others have now become their mortal enemies.

Over the past hundred years, the territory of the Fantasy Sword Sect has been compressed in various ways, and many external resources have been lost.

This caused panic among the entire sect.

Wei Yuesheng ran around everywhere for the stability of the sect, but his cultivation was limited and his strength was average, so he could not reverse the situation.

The disciples in the sect only retreat and sacrifice their own flesh and blood to ensure the completeness of the sect.

This is the origin of seeking the Lingzhu.

"Three years later, a fourth-level secret realm will be temporarily opened in Baifeng Spirit Realm, which contains a wealth of opportunities. For example, the spiritual medicine needed to refine the Infant Condensation Pill. Every time it is opened, it will attract many forces to scramble for it.

“The secret realm restricts the entry and exit of Nascent Soul and fourth-level body-refining cultivators, and the Spiritualization cultivators above them will be isolated from the secret realm.

“My Illusion Sword Sect has been in decline for a hundred years, and we must take this opportunity to reverse the situation.

"For this reason, I have come here to seek help from fellow Taoists."

After hearing what the other party said, Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves, and various magic beads and treasures appeared on the table.

"You may want to pick one, fellow Taoist."

It doesn’t matter who you sell things to, right?

As long as there are spirit stones coming into the account, Wei Zhong has no reason to refuse.
