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

Chapter 326: The changing situation, Dan Fang invites
Wei Zhong adheres to his usual cautious style.

Returning to Shahemen, he took out the sixth-level elixir he had just purchased:
"My cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary refining emptiness. If I continue to practice like this, it will only take a thousand years to reach the middle and late stages of refining emptiness."

Wei Zhong closed his eyes and practiced, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the Shahe Sect. Even though the latter knew that the Xuanxiao Sect had increased the size of the team heading to the Gemingyuan, they asked Wei Zhong about it.

Wei Zhong just let him make his own decision.

Wei Zhong didn't want to control the direction of Shahemen.

To Wei Zhong, the Shahe Sect was more like a thug force, and he didn't care about its development.

They will only lend a helping hand when the latter encounters difficulties.

When Wei Zhong was in seclusion, the entire Baifeng Spiritual Realm received an invitation from the Xuanxiao Sect.

Some forces felt that this was an opportunity and invested a lot of manpower to go with Xuanxiao Sect.

Among them, the Liu family, a virtual refining force, was the leader. As one of the virtual refining cultivators of the Liu family, Liu Chengsheng personally led the team.

In addition, there are also many forces at the God Transformation, Nascent Soul and even Core Formation stages participating.

There were also many independent cultivators who were not doing well in Baifeng Spiritual Realm, so they bought a boat ticket and went together.

Of course, there are people who are enthusiastic, and there are also people who are just watching.

Most of the forces in Baifeng Spirit Realm, especially in Feiyu Immortal City, are taking a wait-and-see attitude.

As time passed, this group of monks who had returned returned to Baifeng Spiritual Realm. The good news they brought caused a great sensation in Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

Many cultivators who were at the Jindan and Yuanying stages in the past were able to advance directly to the Yuanying and Shenhua stages after this trip.

Even two new great masters of the Void Refining realm were born as a result.

One of them was from Xuanxiao Sect, and the other was from Huashen Family in the southeast of Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

As a result of his promotion, his family swallowed up many nearby forces in one fell swoop and expanded the territory of his own family.

The gains made by those returning home made many forces ignore the risks behind it and the nameless bones that fell into the abyss.

Next, a large number of cultivators followed the footsteps of Xuanxiao Sect and headed to Gemingyuan to try their luck at the so-called opportunity.

There were even quite a few Void Refining forces involved, and a large number of Void Refining cultivators also went there.

"You guys from Qingfeng Ridge, why are you here to join in the fun instead of guarding your family's alchemy foundation?"

There were quite a few Lianxu cultivators who made sarcastic remarks to the people of Qingfeng Ridge.

This is enough to show how unpopular Qingfengling is. The latter has used his advantage in alchemy to harm many independent cultivators.

Considering their identity as a family of alchemy, they are quite black-hearted.

A young-looking Lianxu monk wanted to refute after hearing such ridicule, but was stopped by an old Lianxu monk:

"Don't argue with him!"

Then he secretly transmitted the message:

"The Ge Ming Yuan is definitely not as safe as Xuan Xiao Zong said. You and these other cultivators from the same domain must cooperate with each other on this trip. There is no need to create conflicts due to quarrels..."

The old man gave the young man some advice and then added:
"The Yuan and Bai veins of Qingfeng Mountain are all depending on you. Don't be reckless when you go to Gemingyuan, and don't force opportunities. Ensure your own safety as a prerequisite."

The latter nodded:

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, Fang Jian will save you money."

Bai Fangjian suppressed his inner impulse and put down his desire to fight.

The monk ignored the two people after they talked for a while and did not continue to make things difficult for himself.

Just at this moment, people from Xuan Xiao Sect arrived, and a spirit boat flew out of their hands and kept getting bigger. Many cultivators followed the orders from Xuan Xiao Sect and flew onto this spirit boat.

Bai Fangjian looked back at Yuan Zhengsong:
"Uncle Yuan, I'll be there right away."

"Go with peace of mind. I'm here for you at Qingfeng Ridge."

The two said goodbye, and Xuanxiao Sect's spirit boat also left after a while.

The monks who were seeing them off saw the spirit boat gradually disappear from their sight.

When Liu Yu, the head of the Liu family, saw Yuan Zhengsong, he teased:
"Your Qingfeng Ridge is quite interesting. You, old man Yuan, don't go to Gemingyuan to try your luck, but let this young man take the risk. Aren't you afraid that your foundation will be destroyed?"

The latter shook his head:

"I am old and don't like fighting. But the young man is keen on it. I can't persuade him, so I have to let him go."

There was not much change on his face. After saying this, he bowed to Liu Yu and left with his disciples.

"Hmph, the old fox of Qingfengling. After this battle, I'm afraid the two branches of Qingfengling will be dominated by the Chihuo Yuan family."

……

Time passed quickly, and a cultivator flew in from outside the Shahe Gate. When he landed below, his face revealed that of Moro.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se is still in seclusion?"

Jiang Changyu replied respectfully:
"That's right. The Great Elder has been in seclusion for a long time and has no intention of coming out."

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se is indeed a man of hard practice."

He shook his head slightly and took out a storage bag. Dozens of pill bottles flew out of it and landed in front of Jiang Changyu:

"Twenty Purple Sun Gathering Yuan Pills, please count them."

Jiang Changyu took a quick look at it and accepted it, then took out a few spirit beads and handed them to Moro.

Apparently this isn't the first time such a deal has happened.

"These are the spiritual beads that the Great Elder promised. Senior, please keep them. If you have any special requests next time, please let me know. For example, to refine the Wind and Thunder Beads, please bring your own high-level spiritual materials..."

After relaying Wei Zhong's instructions, Moro nodded slowly:
"I save it!"

After bowing in the direction of Wei Zhong's retreat, Moro left.

Carrying the elixir, Jiang Changyu came to where Wei Zhong was in seclusion.

Corpse qi rose in front of him, and a dead figure walked out of it. He handed a jade slip to the other party, and then took away all the pill bottles.

Holding the jade slip, Jiang Changyu probed into it with his spiritual sense, and heard Wei Zhong's voice:
"Collect high-level five-element spiritual materials, mainly gold and water..."

After receiving the instructions, Jiang Changyu left in a hurry without thinking much.

After a hundred years, Wei Zhong inhaled and finished his practice. A trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he murmured:

"It takes a really long time to be in seclusion in this realm of refining emptiness."

His eyes wandered, and he looked at the panel:
【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Early stage of refining emptiness (second level, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 3080/8000】

"After more than two hundred years of seclusion in the blink of an eye, I have only taken a small step to the early stage of the Refining Void Realm. How can it compare to the rapid progress before?"

For more than two hundred years, Wei Zhong has almost abandoned all trivial matters and has never stepped out of this cave.

If they are not practicing, then they are refining equipment, practicing magic...

The days were quite fulfilling.

Even matters like purchasing elixirs were handed over to Xuanxiao Sect's Lianxu for door-to-door delivery.

In this state, Wei Zhong devoted himself to practicing, and his weapon refining skills seemed to have been further enhanced.

Looking at the various five-element high-level spiritual materials collected by spending spiritual stones in front of him, Wei Zhong's face was slightly excited:
"In the inheritance of spiritual beads, the single-attribute five-element spiritual beads are the weakest, the dual-attribute five-element spiritual beads are slightly stronger, the wind and thunder beads are the next best, and the fusion of the five elements will form the strongest five-element spiritual beads.

"It is a first-level hand, equivalent to the top-grade magic weapon in the same realm."

After hundreds of years of experience in refining spirit beads, Wei Zhong has now refined a lot of low-level five-element spirit beads. Most of them are second or third level, and fourth level and above are very rare.

Now that he has become more proficient in the technique, he has begun to collect high-level spiritual materials and start refining them.

"Start with the fourth level!"

Wei Zhong lit the furnace and controlled the various spiritual materials to melt at different temperatures. They blended with each other, and mysterious spiritual patterns were projected into the layers of spiritual beads...

This time, Wei Zhong was refined with great concentration and very slowly.

It took more than half a month to refine a fourth-level five-element spirit bead.

Look carefully at your own achievements and summarize the gains and losses.

Wei Zhongcai started to refine the next spirit bead.

This time, it took ten days to produce another one, and the third time only took seven days...

Wei Zhong's refining speed became faster and faster. After two years, Wei Zhong already had a large number of fourth-level Five Elements Spirit Beads in his hands.

He felt that the time had come, so he selected higher-grade spiritual materials and began to refine the fifth-grade one.

Five years passed in a flash. Wei Zhong looked at the accumulated spiritual beads in front of him and nodded slightly:

"The most important thing about the Five Elements Spirit Pearl is the relative balance of the five elements. The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. They are not like dead objects that cannot change.

"Instead, the five elements' power changes, with strengths and weaknesses constantly changing, in order to achieve a dynamic balance of power..."

As Wei Zhong muttered, the flames rose again.

After three years, the prototype of a spiritual pearl emitting five-colored spiritual light appeared in front of Wei Zhong.

It was like a compressed storm of spiritual light, constantly churning under the control of Wei Zhong's fingers.

Wei Zhong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was obviously under a lot of pressure.

This sixth-level five-element spirit bead is the most advanced magic weapon in the sixth level. It is beyond Wei Zhong's ability to refine it by force.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Wei Zhong tried his best to control it, but he still couldn't avoid carelessness. With a tremble of two fingers, the Five Elements Storm in front of him was instantly out of control.

It expanded rapidly, and just as it was about to explode, a five-colored round bead slowly appeared in front of Wei Zhong's lower abdomen.

It is the natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Pearl.

One of them flew away and arrived above the Five Elements storm that was about to explode.

A dreamy five-colored light hung from above, enveloping the storm.

The power of the Five Elements was like pressing the stop button, and the rage of the storm came to an end.

“It was a close call, if I hadn’t discovered during the previous process of refining the spirit bead that the Five Element Bead had a suppressive effect on this kind of magic weapon.

"I'm afraid this cave will be completely destroyed today due to the failure of refining."

"Moreover, even if the refining fails, the spiritual materials used in the refining will not be wasted."

Wei Zhong focused his mind and a suction force emanated from the Five Elements Pearl. A hazy spiritual light rose from the bottom to the top, emerging from the scattered storm group.

All of them were absorbed by the Five Yuan Beads.

In this way, the prototype of the magic weapon that was about to explode became the nourishment for the five-element bead, the magic weapon of his life.

This discovery was made by Wei Zhong by chance when he was refining weapons a hundred years ago.

Under Wei Zhong's control, it has a certain suppressive effect on the explosion of spirit beads, and it is most obvious for the five elements.

The power of wind and thunder comes second.

It can also absorb the scattered power of the five elements, avoiding losses after the failure of refining the spirit beads.

“I never thought that the best magic weapon against this Lingzhu magic weapon would be my own magic weapon.

“The broken bag that Liu Chengsheng spent so much effort to refine only contained a few spirit beads.

"Let me use my Five Elements Pearls, which are endless. As long as my body can bear it..."

As Wei Zhong's natal magic weapon, Wei Zhong naturally has a way to control the loss of the five elements' power in the spirit pearl.

It is like a reservoir where the water level can be freely controlled. As water is continuously released, the amount of water inside it can be said to be endless.

"If I encounter someone who uses the Five Elements Spiritual Pearls to attack me in the future, I can also use my own Five Elements Pearls to target one or two of them..."

Putting aside all distractions, Wei Zhong began to recall the mistakes in the refining process and sum up the gains and losses.

The next month, he planned to start refining the weapon again.

Unexpectedly, before the fire was lit, a new talisman flew into Wei Zhong's cave.

"Both the two great Void Refining monks in Qingfeng Ridge encountered accidents. Bai Fangjian was besieged by several Void Refining monks in Gemingyuan because he was competing with other monks for opportunities. He was seriously injured and nearly died, and was stranded in the outer domain...

“Yuan Zhengsong suffered serious injuries due to his inability to cope with the minor heavenly calamity.

"Qingfengling is currently without a leader. The Red Fire Yuan family and the Danshou Bai family even had internal strife because of this..."

"Oh, this Qingfeng Ridge is so unlucky. In a short period of time, two major refinements inside it had accidents at the same time.

“The young cultivators were seriously injured by chance and it is difficult for them to recover. Even the old guys in the clan were injured while dealing with the heavenly calamity. They can’t care about the unrest between the two clans.

"I'm afraid this injury is not light, and he is only a few inches away from death."

What’s more important is what’s left:

"The major refining forces have joined forces to come to our door, intending to swallow up the Qingfengling family business at this time."

"That's a good idea. Although Qingfengling has been suppressed by Xuanxiao Sect and the Liu family in the alchemy business in recent years, it is still much stronger than most of the refining forces.

"The family business is too big, I'm afraid they won't yield."

Look further down:

"The head of the Liu family, Liu Yu, came forward and promised to help Qingfeng survive this period of crisis. As for the price, it was to establish a marriage alliance and merge the Yuan and Fang families of Qingfeng Ridge into the Liu family..."

Although the words sound nice, it is also a ruthless move to cut off the source of the problem.

Even when Qingfengling was at its peak, its strength could not compare with that of the Liu family, let alone the current weak state of the clan.

Such an agreement is not much different from giving oneself completely to the Liu family on a plate.

After this battle, there is a high probability that he will become a vassal of the Liu family.

Wei Zhong could see the Liu family's intentions, and others were no exception.

The deity of Qingfengling requested Xuanxiao Sect to intervene, but unfortunately Xuanxiao Sect was busy with the matter of Gemingyuan, so how could they have the time to do so?

He just replied lightly that it was not an internal matter of Xuanxiao Sect and he had no intention of interfering.

The Xuanxiao Sect was unwilling to intervene, and other refining forces were even more unscrupulous.

Some people even set up palaces outside Qingfeng Ridge, waiting for someone to attack and completely divide Qingfeng Ridge.

"This scene is so similar to the previous Guangji City!"

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly.

In this cultivation world, once you become weak, you will inevitably be watched by others. The strong prey on the weak, which is the highest rule in this world.

After Wei Zhong read the message, someone came to visit him a few days later.

The person who came was from the Chihuo Yuan family of Qingfengling.

Wei Zhong looked at the token in his hand:

"You want me to help you in exchange for the recipe of Ning Yuan Miao Dan?
"You, Qing Feng Ling, are dreaming. Do you think that just for a pill recipe, you want me to stand against so many virtual refining forces?"
