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

Chapter 323 The real purpose
"After we parted that day, I didn't expect that fellow Taoist went to Shahemen."

"I am short of money, and there is no way to find a spiritual place in Feiyu Immortal City. In addition, the incident at the Sand Crane Sect just happened to happen..."

The two talked about the past, and Wei Zhong asked about the Yu family in the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

"Senior Yu had advanced to the Hedao realm decades ago. I never thought that fellow Daoist would recognize you."

"We met once, and Senior Yu saved me from a life-threatening situation..."

Gong Maoyun, who was standing by, heard for the first time that Wei Zhong had a relationship with Hedao, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Kusanagi poked him in the back with his arm, and he finally responded and laughed:
"I was so absorbed in listening to the two fellow Taoists talking that I almost forgot the purpose of this auction."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and boys and girls came out to offer all kinds of delicacies to each small table.

Wei Zhong saw the spiritual food on the table and found a small bunch of gray-brown spiritual fruits. The surface of the fruit seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, making the pattern on the fruit skin disappear.

More importantly, Wei Zhong smelled a strange fragrance from it.

It is not the feeling at the tip of the nose, but a reaction from the soul.

"This……"

"I didn't expect that your clan would find so many transparent fruits in the Geming Abyss," Yang Bao's unexpected voice drew everyone's attention.

Gong Maoyun pinched his beard and laughed twice:
"No, it's just a level three or four item, not that precious."

Wei Zhong curiously moved the gray-brown fruit on the plate and found that it was indeed of low grade. However, its attraction to the soul was not shallow at all.

"one two Three……"

After counting carefully, I found there were only seven fruits.

Seeing that someone had already taken it, Wei Zhong followed suit and took it.

It is similar to the grapes I saw in the previous life, but it is not sour and sweet. Instead, it is a bit tasteless.

Once it enters the mouth, the skin breaks instantly, and the flesh inside slides into the throat and into the internal organs.

Immediately afterwards, a refreshing feeling came from the soul, as if it had been purified and cleansed.

The effect of one fruit was not obvious, so Wei Zhong took the remaining six together.

The soul felt extremely comfortable, but still felt unsatisfied.

"It's really a bit low grade. If it were a sixth grade fruit of the same level as Lianxu, I wonder what effect it would have?"

Wei Zhong felt a little regretful when he found that the cultivators around him who had eaten the spiritual fruits all had the same expression.

"Clap!"

"Everyone has taken the spiritual fruit, and I believe you have felt the effect of this fruit. Your soul is clear, and it is suitable for me to discuss this way of refining equipment.

"I am not talented, so I will take the lead."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and released a thundercloud, followed by a gust of wind, and a cyan gold spirit bead appeared in front of everyone.

"Wind and Thunder Pearl?"

Wei Zhong could tell the origin of the bead at a glance.

The remaining monks also had some guesses when they saw the strange phenomenon of this pearl.

They were whispering to each other and talking a lot.

“This item is the Wind and Thunder Pearl treasure of the sixth level that I obtained after comprehending the inheritance with untold hardships.

"When it exploded, its power surpassed the full-strength attack of an ordinary sixth-grade mid-level magic weapon, and it almost reached the attack strength of a cultivator in the late stage of the Void Refining Stage..."

Wei Zhong listened to Gong Maoyun's introduction, but his eyes were looking at the spirit pearl in the air, and he shook his head slightly in his heart.

'Although this pearl looks terrifying, it is actually a manifestation of its power not being concentrated. It is wasting its power every moment. Not only is its power decreasing, but it will eventually collapse and disintegrate over time.'

Sure enough, when Wei Zhong was thinking this, Gong Maoyun also spoke up and pointed out the weakness of this pearl.

"Unfortunately, I can only achieve this level at best, and I cannot grasp the key to further refine the spirit beads."

His gaze turned indifferently to Wei Zhong.

Among those present, who knows the most about refining this thing? Of course it must be Wei Zhong.

The Shahe Sect and the Xuanxiao Sect are both major producers of disposable spirit beads. Among them, the Shahe Sect provides the highest quality, with countless sixth-level spirit beads of various types.

Wei Zhong had refined the sixth-order wind and thunder beads more than once, and he could even be said to be quite skilled at it.

"Does fellow Daoist Wu Se have any advice?"

Wei Zhong met everyone's gaze and said slowly:
"The power of the spirit pearl that Fellow Daoist Gong refined is spreading. It's not that the power of the spirit pearl is restrained, but the problem lies in the core...

"The power of wind and thunder lies in fusion... their power is balanced, with no distinction between high and low..."

Wei Zhong simply explained the reasoning, but Gong Maoyun was somewhat embarrassed, and his fellow apprentice Cao Shen also shook his head:

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se said it lightly. Don't we know this? It is really difficult to balance the power of the two."

Seeing this, Wei Zhong spread his hands:
"I have no other options. Perhaps you two can find a wind and thunder method and comprehend the power of wind and thunder. Perhaps you will gain something."

Everyone who heard this shook their heads. Which weapon refiner could go through the trouble of practicing a technique with corresponding attributes just to refine a magic weapon?
It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not worth it.

However, when Wei Zhong mentioned this, Yang Baoyan said:
"I forgot that Brother Wu Se is a disciple of Tian Yin Lei Shan and is quite proficient in the art of thunder."

Yang Bao's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, as if some rumor had been confirmed.

The expressions of all the monks present were moved.

"I do have a disciple token with me, but unfortunately Baifeng Spiritual Territory is too far away from Tianyin Thunder Mountain, otherwise I would..."

Wei Zhong seemed to be feeling emotional.

Turning to look at the beads in the air:
“If Fellow Daoist Gong really has difficulty controlling the power of wind and thunder, then take one as the core and the other as the supplement.

"Although this will reduce the power of the Wind and Lightning Pearl, it is better than the power constantly leaking out and possibly exploding at any time..."

The two of them talked enthusiastically about the technique of refining spirit beads. Although the other refiners did not understand this method, they also listened with great interest.

"You have indeed gone a long way on this path, my friend."

The long discussion eventually caused dissatisfaction among some people below.

A voice uttered:
"Brother Gong, we are not here today to listen to the art of refining spirit beads. I heard that Fellow Daoist Gong refined a sixth-grade high-quality magic weapon a few days ago. Why don't you hurry up and let us take a look?"

"Sixth-grade upper grade?"

There was a hint of surprise in Wei Zhong's eyes. He never thought that this cultivator named Gong had such superb weapon refining skills.

"Brother Liu is well-informed!"

As he spoke, he put away the unstable wind and thunder bead in the air.

He took out a small flag.

On the surface, the banner looks ordinary, but through observation with the soul, one can see that its surface is covered with dense spiritual patterns.

Its roots are intertwined and intertwined, as if forming a single eye above the spirit flag.

When Wei Zhong was looking at him, the one-eyed man seemed to have seen Wei Zhong and shifted his gaze over.

A terrifying deterrent force emanated, and Wei Zhong's soul, who was in the sea of ​​consciousness, felt panic. "This magic weapon..."

"Daoyou Wu Se has also discovered it?" Yang Bao said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yang, does this magic weapon have some origin?"

The latter shook his head and echoed in Wei Zhong's ear:

"The problem is not with the magic weapon, but with this banner, which was taken from the middle layer of the Netherworld Abyss.

"My Five Elements Immortal Sect also obtained two pieces. The spiritual patterns on them are natural and have the power to suppress the soul and even the consciousness of cultivators. They are rare treasures.

“To use this to refine a magic weapon, you don’t need to spend too much time on the spiritual pattern. You just need to fuse it and refine it onto a flagpole.

"Gong Maoyun has some skills, but not much. Even if this item is given to Fellow Daoist Wu Se to refine, it will most likely be a sixth-rank high-quality magic weapon."

Wei Zhong's face turned a little strange when he heard this:
"Brother Yang Bao, is this banner available in the market?"

As if he had guessed Wei Zhong's thoughts, he shook his head faintly:

"Not many, but there are some. In the past few years, there have been reports of independent cultivators fighting for this treasure. If fellow Daoist Wu Se is really interested, you can go to Ge Ming Yuan."

Wei Zhong sighed when he heard this.

He naturally wanted a sixth-level high-quality magic weapon, especially since it was a magic weapon for the soul, and it would be perfect to replace the Demon Suppression Tower in Wei Zhong's hand.

Wei Zhong could see the abnormality of the banner, and so could other weapon refiners.

However, Yang Bao did not decipher it, but just asked with doubt:
"Could this thing be the inspiration Brother Gong got from the Soul Calming Tower?"

The Soul-Suppressing Tower, the predecessor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower in the human world, has a suppressive effect on the souls of cultivators.

However, it only works up to the fifth level at best, and has little effect on the Void Refinement cultivators above that level.

It is a low-level weapon refining inheritance of the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Gong Maoyun was too embarrassed to flatter himself, so he just shook his head calmly:
“Most of the materials used to refine this treasure come from the Ge Ming Yuan, and the various rare spiritual materials are all excellent materials for refining exotic treasures.

"For example, this flag. The flag cloth is a piece of material covered with various spiritual patterns. It only needs a little adjustment to be used for refining equipment.

“This flagpole is also taken from…

"Including the transparent fruit you just ate, it was also obtained from that place in the dark abyss..."

Gong Maoyun talked endlessly about Gemingyuan, describing it as a treasure land with abundant spiritual materials.

"So this is what the Xuan Xiao Sect is planning."

The equipment refining exchange meeting was not a sudden idea, but the idea of ​​the top leaders of Xuanxiao Sect.

The main purpose of this trip was to allow Gong Maoyun to continue with the exchange meeting and show the precious spiritual materials in the Nether Abyss to many Void Refining Monks in order to attract their attention.

“As we explore deeper into the Nether Abyss, we find more and more good things, and the competition becomes more and more intense.

"It seems that Xuan Xiao Sect is under a lot of pressure. They actually thought of this method to attract allies."

Yang Bao whispered teasingly into Wei Zhong's ear.

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful:

"Fellow Daoist Yang Bao knows a lot about the matter of the Nether Abyss, but have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"It's not like I have a long life, so why should I go to that kind of place?" Yang Bao shook his head. "Brother Wu Se, listen to me. If it's not necessary, don't enter the Ge Ming Yuan. Just walk around the gathering place outside. If you are willing to spend spirit stones, you can still collect good things.

“If you are really curious, it is best to stay on the periphery. The competition inside is too fierce and too dangerous.

"There are sect cultivators and independent cultivators coming from all corners of the world, and some of them are not even from our human race. The forces are so mixed that conflicts often occur. It is simply a mess.

“Even if we occasionally obtain rare treasures, we will often be besieged by cultivators from various parties. Without powerful colleagues and backup, we won’t be able to bring back the treasures.”

"Doesn't the Five Elements Immortal Sect have any control over this kind of chaos?"

"Manage, how?
"If a Nascent Soul Transformation God obtains a treasure that is not worthy of his cultivation, can we, the Refining Void, not rob it? Eventually, someone will secretly take action, and may even be able to kill my Five Elements Immortal Sect's direct descendants.

“This kind of thing cannot be prohibited, nor can it be controlled.

“Moreover, the majority of those involved are from my sect. We are all in this together, so any decision we make will be biased.

"It is better to let them rely on their own abilities and follow the iron rule of the jungle in the cultivation world."

After hearing Yang Bao's words, Wei Zhong seemed to understand what kind of chaos was going on in the abyss.

'No wonder Gong Maoyun would take this opportunity to talk about the matter of the Dark Abyss.'

“If you want to make further progress in the art of refining weapons, you cannot do without various rare spiritual materials, and the Nether Abyss happens to be an excellent opportunity.

"Recently, all the major forces have joined forces to explore deeper into the area, and various rare treasures have appeared frequently. The sixth-grade top-grade magic weapon in my hand is just the tip of the iceberg...

"Even if you are not interested, you should still consider the families and sects behind it. This great opportunity is rare in a thousand years...

"My Xuanxiao Sect plans to expand its routes again in the near future. If you are interested, you can let the monks in the sect go with us..."

Gong Maoyun brought the topic to the real purpose in just a few words.

All the major weapon refiners present here came from Feiyu Immortal City, or the surrounding major forces, and behind them were powerful Lianxu families or sects.

They are the backbone of the Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

Letting these people see the abundant resources of Ge Ming Yuan is equivalent to letting all major forces see it.

Who wouldn't be interested in such a precious place? Even the most fearful monks might want to go and see if they can find a chance.

The weapon refiners below the stage looked at each other, and it seemed that some of them were already tempted.

Of course, some people looked hesitant. If the resources were so easy to obtain, why didn't Xuanxiao Sect just take them all? Why did they need to notify these virtual refining forces?

Opportunities often coexist with crises. Without much thought, you will understand that although Gong Maoyun said it lightly, this opportunity is not easy to come by.

However, no matter how much doubt they have in their hearts, what happened today is bound to be spread to the ears of the top leaders of various forces through the mouths of these people.

No matter what, there will be a group of disciples who will get involved in the affairs of the Mingyuan.

Who knows, some force might get excited and mobilize all its strength to try its luck.

Even if only one or two refining void masters were present, it would be enough to solve Xuanxiao Sect’s urgent problem.

“Ahem, Brother Gong is right, but today is an exchange meeting, and we cannot let Brother Gong steal the limelight.

"I have made a magic weapon, please evaluate it."

The person who spoke was the Liu family's weapon refiner.

He stood up and a piece of grey cloth flew out from his arms. It was a huge sack-like thing that was big enough for an ordinary person.

"I made this by accident. It has no other effect except that it has a good power to restrain those exploding water, fire, wind and thunder."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but look up at the cultivator named Liu, and the latter also shifted his gaze over.

The two looked at each other.

Wei Zhong knew who had made the bags for the two cultivators of the Void Tribulation Realm.

But he still didn't understand what kind of grudge he had with the Liu family that caused them to target him like this.
