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

Chapter 328 A ​​bustling crowd
It's been a month since Qingfeng Ridge was destroyed.
Liu Jin walked to the Liu family's patriarch and bowed respectfully:
"Father!"

"How's it going?"

“Most of the Qingfengling disciples have been captured, but that old man Yuan did not show up. I found that he had died in the cave.

"It seems that the injuries from dealing with the minor heavenly tribulation were too severe and he was unable to make it through."

Hearing this, Liu Yu sighed deeply:

"This old fellow Yuan was also a genius in the past. He had already entered the realm of refining emptiness within two thousand years. Now he is in the middle stage of refining emptiness, but he can't even survive the second minor heavenly tribulation. It's such a pity..."

Liu Jin disagreed. The other party's lifespan was approaching its limit. If he could not break through to the late stage of refining emptiness within a few hundred years, he would still die because of his lifespan reaching its limit.

“I have also captured quite a few of the disciples from Qingfeng Ridge who escaped with resources.

"But there are still three people stranded outside, which is quite difficult to deal with."

"Oh, tell me!"

"One of them is named Yan Fengzhi, he is the eldest disciple of Yuan Lao'er, he is in the middle stage of the Spiritualization stage, he unexpectedly joined the Xuanxiao Sect, and he is currently a disciple of the True Person Lianxu Yuhui."

Liu Yu frowned:

"The Xuan Xiao Sect is not someone we can afford to offend at the moment. Just be careful of this person in the future. Don't provoke her for now."

Liu Jin nodded:
"As for the other two, one is from the Bai family, Bai Changhong, and the other is Yuan Zhengsong's granddaughter Yuan Caiqin. Both of them were desperate and joined the Shahe Sect."

"Shahe Sect? The sect where the Five-Colored Taoist is from?"

"That's right, father. Do we need to go and ask for help ourselves?"

Liu Yu stood up and looked at the rolling white clouds in the sky in the distance. He thought again and again:

"Your uncle suffered a loss at his hands. You have just been promoted to the Void Refining Stage, so you may not be his opponent...

"I still have to show up in person, but..."

Considering the status of the Liu family in Feiyu Immortal City, it was really embarrassing for the head of the family to go to Shahemen to ask for compensation just for the two younger generations of Qingfengling.

"Well, you go and ask first, and bring three Qinglian Qi Condensing Pills to show your sincerity. If you can get those two Qingfengling remnants back, that would be even better. If the latter refuse to comply, don't force them."

"Yes, father."

Ever since he got the elixir formula and spiritual medicine plants from the two people from Qingfengling, Wei Zhong has been either practicing or taking care of the spiritual medicine all day.

On this day, when Wei Zhong was loosening the soil for the elixir, he suddenly received a message from the outside world.

"Someone from the Liu family?"

The visitor was the Liu family’s newly promoted cultivator, Liu Jin, the son of the family’s patriarch.

Wei Zhong thought about it and decided to come forward to meet him.

Wei Zhong's figure slowly emerged from the reception pavilion:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, how come you have time to visit me today?"

Liu Jin stood up, exchanged greetings with Wei Zhong, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"I heard that the two youngsters from Qingfeng Ridge have joined Fellow Daoist Wu Se?"

Wei Zhongmian did not change at all. He held the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Liu is well-informed."

The latter flicked his sleeves, and three pill bottles instantly landed on the table between the two of them:

"Three Azure Lotus Qi Condensing Pills, please accept them, Fellow Daoist Wu Se. As for the two men, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wu Se can give them to my Liu family?"

Wei Zhong put down the tea bowl and narrowed his eyes slightly:

"The Green Lotus Qi Condensing Pill is a good thing, but it is not enough. Qingfeng Ridge has produced a sixth-level pill recipe, plus a complete set of spiritual medicines, in order to seek my protection.

"With such a generous gift, how can I go back on my word?"

Hearing that Qingfengling was willing to pay such a price, Liu Jin was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he said:
"Since Fellow Daoist Wu Se has already received the benefits, just hand the two over to me and I will ensure that the news will not be leaked..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wei Zhong:

"I am a businessman after all, how can I go back on my word?"

Having said this, it was an obvious refusal.

Liu Jin frowned:

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, you are not giving face to my Liu family."

Wei Zhong sneered and continued:

“I will not hide it from you, fellow Daoist. What Qingfengling handed over was the sixth-grade elixir, the Yuan Ning Pill. If your Liu family could give me the Qinglian Ningqi Pill formula and the accompanying elixir and even the seeds, I might consider it carefully.

"But it's just three pills, and you want me to break my promise? Even if Liu Yu came, he wouldn't be qualified, let alone you?"

"see a visitor out!"

Jiang Changyu heard this and stood up from behind Wei Zhong:

"Senior Liu, please!"

Liu Jin's face turned pale and he looked at Wei Zhong angrily:

"you!"

At the same time, seeing Jiang Changyu's actions, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He released his own spiritual pressure, and in an instant, the latter's shoulders trembled.

"Humph!"

Wei Zhong snorted softly, and the shadow under his feet twisted, extending toward the ground like a living thing, and came between Jiang Changyu and Liu Jin.

The latter felt a terrifying chill approaching and subconsciously took two steps back.

He saw a dragon corpse appear in front of him. It was several heads taller than Liu Jin and was surrounded by black corpse energy, which gave him endless pressure.

'How could this corpse be so strong?'

Liu Jin had heard before that the Five Colors of the Shahe Sect did have a sixth-rank refined corpse, but it was only an ordinary sixth-rank lower-grade level. In terms of fighting strength, it was far inferior to the cultivators of the same level.

However, the refined corpse in front of him gave Liu Jin a completely different feeling.

Like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, Liu Jin subconsciously wanted to retreat and avoid it.

He restrained his impulse in his heart, knowing that he was no match for his opponent, and bowed:

“If Fellow Daoist Wu Se is unwilling, then I will not force you.

"These three elixirs are purely my apology for my slip of the tongue just now. I hope you don't take this matter to heart."

After saying this, he said goodbye to Wei Zhong, turned around and fled away from Shahemen.

Wei Zhong looked at the direction the latter left, waved his hand and took the three elixirs on the table:
"He knows how to advance and retreat, but unfortunately..."

The shadow of death turned into a shadow and drilled under Wei Zhong.

"The Liu family doesn't need to care. As long as I am still in Shahemen, they will not tear their faces apart..."

"Yes!"

Jiang Changyu bowed and when he stood up, he found that Wei Zhong had disappeared.

He walked out of the building and met two people from Qingfengling halfway.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what about the Liu family's Lianxu?"

"Don't worry, they have been driven away by the Great Elder. You two can just stay in my Shahe Sect. The Great Elder can guarantee your safety for at least a thousand years."

After chatting with him for a while, Jiang Changyu left.

In the clouds between the mountains, Bai Changhong breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Caiqin was also relieved:
"Brother Changhong, this Five Colors Taoist really has some integrity."

Bai Changhong quickly covered his mouth:

“Be careful with your words. Since we two live in the Shahe Sect, we should naturally address you as the Great Elder. Even when Qingfengling was still around, we should still call you Senior.

"You were delicate before, but now you are no longer like before. You need to be careful with your words and actions."

The latter covered his mouth:

"Qin'er understands what Brother Changhong said."

The destruction of Qingfeng Ridge was like a stone hitting the Baifeng Spiritual Realm cultivation world, causing ripples before disappearing into thin air.

Its territory has been divided up among various powers, and now even the place names have been changed by other powers.

Few people talk about the name of Qingfengling anymore.

Wei Zhong looked at the large patch of spiritual herbs growing vigorously in front of him. In each patch of spiritual herbs, there was one that stood out particularly. It was like the queen among the clusters of spiritual herbs, absorbing the nutrients from other spiritual herbs and turning them into nutrients for its own growth.

"almost!"

After selecting the elixirs, Wei Zhong sorted them into categories, went to the alchemy room, and started to make the elixirs.

More than three months later, an explosion was heard and the top of the furnace was blown away by the violent force of the medicine.

"It's still a little short, the heat isn't right..."

Wei Zhong continued to refine the elixir, and finally, half a year later, the first Condensing Yuan Pill was produced. At the same time, the information on Wei Zhong's panel also changed:
[Sixth-level Alchemist·Proficient (13%)]

Holding the elixir, Wei Zhong murmured:
“Finally, the alchemy technique has been upgraded to the sixth level.

"Although my proficiency is not high, if I continue to make pills, I should be able to integrate everything I have learned before, and make sufficient progress in a short period of time."

Wei Zhong shifted his attention to the elixir in his hand. The Ningyuan elixir was milky white in color, and had sixth-level spiritual patterns on its surface.

However, it is obviously less common than Qinglian Ningqi Dan and Ziyang Juyuan Dan.

"Sixth-rank low-grade, indeed it is much inferior."

With a slight frown, Wei Zhong took the pill and practiced, feeling the medicinal power in it, feeling a little helpless.

“If the Qing Lian Ning Qi Pill has only half the efficacy of the Zi Yang Ju Yuan Pill, then this Ning Yuan Miao Pill would have more than half the efficacy.

"Both the release of the medicinal power and the duration of its effect are inferior to the two pills.

"The only advantage is the low cost. Even if there are multiple failures, as long as the success rate is not less than 40%, there will be profit."

There was no standard price for Ningyuan Miaodan in Qingfengling before. Sometimes the price was only more than twenty high-quality spirit stones for one pill, and sometimes it could be sold at a high price of thirty spirit stones.

It is quite inconsistent with the latter's real value.

"In that case, twenty high-grade spirit stones will suffice. In the future, my men will have another way to earn spirit stones."

Not every Void Refining cultivator would purchase a sixth-level spiritual bead magic weapon.

However, spiritual elixirs are different. As long as one has expectations for the future path of cultivation, one must take elixirs to speed up cultivation.

Over time, the amount of spirit stones a Void Refining cultivator spends on elixirs is often an astronomical figure.

This is a business that is more stable and more profitable than selling magic tools.

After spending some time, Wei Zhong refined ten Ningyuan pills. He came out of retreat and found Jiang Changyu, who was carefully instructing a young man.

Seeing Wei Zhong coming, he quickly introduced:
"Greetings, Great Elder. This is my last disciple, Yan Yong."

Wei Zhong looked and saw that the latter was a middle-aged male cultivator with an ordinary face. His cultivation level was not stable and it seemed that he had just been promoted not long ago.

"Great Elder, don't be fooled by this boy's stupidity. He is actually smart and is good at handling sect affairs. He can also help me deal with all the important matters..."

Jiang Changyu talked a lot, and his words seemed to suggest that he wanted the latter to take over the sect.

"If the Great Elder has important matters in the future, you can call this person to handle them when I am not here..."

Wei Zhong looked at Jiang Changyu, sensing the latter's cultivation status.

'The bone age is over 2,400 years, but the remaining life span is only over 100 years. This upper limit of life span is much lower than that of an ordinary late stage spirit transformation.'

As if seeing the doubt in Wei Zhong's heart, he smiled and said:

"Back then, my ancestors' corpse qi entered my body in Guangji City. My foundation has been damaged and cannot be reversed. My lifespan has been reduced and I can only live for a hundred years now."

"Don't you want to try your best to refine the Void? With your years of accumulation, you should be able to bid for a fifth-level Dingyuan Pill, right?"

The latter nodded slightly, then shook his head again:
“I won’t bother with that any more. I know my own methods very well. Facing those nine heavenly thunders, there is no way I can survive.

“Instead of risking this broken body to fight for that slim chance of survival, it is better to settle down and live the rest of your life well.

"I will handle the transfer of power within the Shahe Sect before I die, and I will ensure that I do not cause any trouble to the Great Elder."

The Shahe Sect today is different from before. It has absorbed too many people from other sects, although they have been incorporated into the management of the various peaks of the Shahe Sect.

But no one in the peaks would submit to the other. If it weren't for Jiang Changyu's high level of cultivation and the support of Wei Zhong behind him, who was able to suppress the situation, civil strife would have broken out long ago.

Wei Zhong nodded slowly:

"If you change your mind, feel free to come find me.

"After all, I can't be the only one in charge of the Shahe Sect."

"Junior understands!"

Wei Zhong then took out the elixir:
"I have successfully refined Qingfengling's sixth-level cultivation elixir, the Ningyuan Miaodan. Now it can be mass-produced. You spread the word, and Shahemen will have another business selling this kind of elixir."

Jiang Changyu looked at the elixir in Wei Zhong's hand without any surprise, as he had long known that Wei Zhong held the elixir formula. And a hundred years had passed since then, which was enough time for him to come up with something famous.

Taking the pill, Jiang Changyu bowed:

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Then he left with the disciples behind him.

Before long, news of the Shahe Sect selling Ningyuan Pills spread throughout the Baifeng Spirit Realm.

"How come the elixir inheritance that disappeared in Qingfeng Ridge is in the hands of Shahe Sect?"

During the previous expedition against Qingfeng Ridge, no matter how many forces cleared the area, they were unable to discover its means of making money, the recipe for the Ningyuan Pill, and even the spiritual medicine gardens were completely destroyed by those with ulterior motives.

I didn't expect that after a hundred years, news of this elixir would spread from the Shahe Sect.

"Twenty high-grade spirit stones, no deception, if you buy more than thirty pills within a year, you can enjoy a 20% discount?"

"Wow, this is much more honest than Qingfengling."

Such an affordable spiritual elixir for spiritual practice instantly caused a sensation in Baifeng Spiritual Realm.

In this area, leaving aside the rare number of elixirs that come from inside and outside the area, there are only three types of sixth-grade elixirs that can be mass-produced and circulated in large quantities.

The cheapest one is the Ningyuan Miraculous Pill. Because Qingfeng Ridge has been destroyed for many years, this pill is almost extinct.

Many Void Refining cultivators could only buy the more expensive Qinglian Miaodan, but the Liu family just raised the price from forty high-quality spirit stones to forty-eight.

This made the practitioners miserable and they cursed in their hearts.

But thinking that Xuanxiao Sect's Ziyang Juyuan Pill was too luxurious, he could only hold his nose and accept his bad luck.

However, with the news coming from the Shahe Sect, the situation changed in the blink of an eye.

For a time, the Shahe Sect was crowded with people...

Wei Zhong was very lenient in collecting the spirit stones.
