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

Chapter 330 Development, Linglong Miaodan

Qingfengling is a cunning rabbit with three burrows. He not only gave part of his family property to Yuan Caiqin, but also gave part of it to Yan Fengzhi.

No wonder the other party was accepted as a disciple by Yuhui of Xuanxiao Sect after escaping from Qingfeng Ridge. It turned out that he was used for making elixirs.

A total of three hundred Ningyuan Pills could be sold for at least seventy or eighty top-grade spirit stones on the market based on past market prices.

This is a temptation that Lianxu can hardly refuse.

What Yan Fengzhi paid to protect himself is unimaginable for ordinary people.

In comparison, Wei Zhong was too merciful to protect Yuan Caiqin and Bai Changhong for a thousand years by accepting a recipe for Ningyuan Miaodan and some spiritual medicines and spiritual medicine seeds.

"Also, please ask Senior Wu Se to help me keep an eye out for news about Elder Bai who is far away in the Nether Abyss."

Bai Fangjian, one of the two great masters of refining emptiness in Qingfeng Ridge, was unable to return to Baifeng Spirit Realm due to serious injuries.

Wei Zhong's expression did not change:

"That's another price."

Yan Fengzhi gritted his teeth and took out a wooden box from the storage bag.

Wei Zhong opened it, revealing ten sparkling top-grade spirit stones.

"make a deal!"

The latter breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, he talked with Wei Zhong for a while and then slowly went down the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Jiang Changyu appeared and whispered in Wei Zhong's ear:
"This Yan Fengzhi went to see Yuan Caiqin and the others first, and he seemed to have taken something from them..."

Wei Zhong was not surprised at all, as he had already seen it all.

Those ten top-grade spirit stones were taken out from Yuan Caiqin's pocket.

"These two little fellows who have fallen into my Shahe Sect must have some secrets. Senior, do we want to..."

Wei Zhong waved his hand:
"Don't worry about it. As long as they don't do anything out of line, there's no need to attack them. I agreed to protect them for a thousand years, and I don't want to ruin my reputation because of this."

"Yes!"

After sending Jiang Changyu away, Wei Zhong returned to his cultivation cave and took out the jade slip of alchemy inheritance given to him by Yan Fengzhi.

“What a great harvest!”

This jade slip is nothing else but the alchemy inheritance of Qingfengling that has been passed down for thousands of years.

It records various elixir recipes, as well as the alchemy experience of alchemists from past generations in Qingfengling.

It can be said to be an excellent teaching material for alchemy.

What made Wei Zhong happy was not only this, but also one of the recipes:
"Linglong Miaodan is a higher-level elixir of Ningyuan Miaodan, and is of the sixth-grade upper grade."

Most of the spiritual medicines needed for its refining overlap with those for the Ningyuan Miaodan, with only a few more rare spiritual medicines. Even the refining process is 70% similar.

But it was this subtle difference that stumped Qingfengling for a thousand years.

Since receiving the alchemy inheritance from Qingfeng Ridge, he has successfully refined less than five Linglong Miao Dan.

The reasons include the fact that elixirs are rare and hard to find, the cost of refining them is high, and the difficulty of refining them is also high.

However, when Wei Zhong saw the evaluation of this elixir by alchemists such as Qing Fengling:

"This pill is far superior to the Azure Lotus Condensing Qi Pill, and slightly stronger than the Xuanxiao Sect's Purple Sun Gathering Yuan Pill. It should be the top sixth-level spiritual pill for cultivation in the Baifeng Spiritual Domain."

Wei Zhong didn't know whether the messages from the Qingfengling alchemists were just bragging, but that didn't stop Wei Zhong from trying to make the elixir.

"We are still missing a few medicinal herbs."

Wei Zhong left the city and ordered Jiang Changyu to send someone to collect them.

Then he returned to the cave and refined the Ningyuan Pill. While supplying the outside world, he also improved his alchemy proficiency.

Ten years later, Jiang Changyu returned with a few vines with colorful flowers on them.

"Great Elder, this exquisite hexagonal flower is hard to find. In ten years, we have only found this one vine, which is only 1,500 years old, far from the ten thousand years that the Great Elder needs.

"In addition, things like sea dragon wood are unheard of in Baifeng Spirit Realm. I don't know how to collect it..."

Jiang Changyu looked helpless.

Wei Zhong could only take the exquisite hexagonal vine.

"It's so hard to find. No wonder the furnace in Qingfeng Ridge has only been opened a few times in thousands of years."

Sigh:
"Have you heard of Fellow Daoist Yang Bao's whereabouts recently?"

Jiang Changyu shook his head:
"Since Senior Yang Bao sent a message to the Great Elder, he has disappeared in Baifeng Spirit Realm and no one has seen him."

Jiang Changyu was talking about the time five years ago when Yang Bao was summoned back to the sect.

Another five years passed, and still no sign of return.

"We can no longer place our hopes on this man."

"Does the team that recently returned from the Netherworld have any relevant spiritual medicines and herbs?"

"Relatively few, according to the cultivators who came back. Once these spiritual objects are taken out of the Gemingyuan, major chambers of commerce, including the Five Elements Immortal Sect and major sects, will offer to buy them.

“Because the price is high and they offer a variety of rare elixirs for purchase, most cultivators will exchange these resources for treasures that can improve their cultivation.

"It's not easy to get elixirs from these teams."

There is always no shortage of people with a lot of spirit stones in this world. Just as Yang Bao once suggested to Wei Zhong, they only need to wait for acquisition outside the Geming Abyss to obtain a large number of treasures.

The profit-seeking chambers of commerce and sects directly cut off Wei Zhong's hopes.

"Does it really require me to make a move?"

At present, except for the sea dragon wood, all the elixirs needed to refine the Linglong Miaodan can be collected.

Although the Linglong Hexagonal Flower is not old enough, Wei Zhong has his own magic method to increase its age. All it requires is time and a short lifespan.

"Forget it. If there is any news of Sea Dragon Wood in Baifeng Spiritual Domain, please inform me immediately. Also, the whereabouts of Brother Yang Bao cannot be ignored."

"Yes!"

Wei Zhong then drafted two copies of the letter sword and gave them to Yu Hui and Moro of Xuan Xiao Sect respectively.

These two people are the Xuanxiao Sect’s Lianxu who Wei Zhong is most familiar with. They would go to Gemingyuan to carry out missions from time to time, so perhaps they could know more information.

After sending Jiang Changyu away, Wei Zhong looked at the flower vine in his hand and shook his head helplessly:
"I thought it was just a lack of age, but who would have thought that this sea dragon wood is so rare. Not many people in Baifeng Spirit Realm have even heard of it."

Forced into a corner, Wei Zhong had to give up his idea of ​​refining the Linglong Miaodan.

Plant the exquisite hexagonal vines on the sacred mountain and use the "Secret Record of Soul Replenishment" to accelerate their growth.

Wei Zhong returned to his life of practicing Buddhism.

Alchemy and spiritual practice.

The guy who had spread the false news did not speak again, perhaps because he saw that the number of Ningyuan Miaodan sold by Wei Zhong was increasing, which had far exceeded the amount of elixir reserves of ordinary refining forces.

I just realized that these rumors don't work.

Moreover, Yan Fengzhi did not show any hostility towards Wei Zhong because of the rumors, and did not even mobilize her cheap master Yu Hui, which made the Liu family very disappointed.

The Ningyuan Miaodan, which cost twenty high-quality spirit stones, completely reduced the price of the Qinglian Ningqi Dan back to forty spirit stones per pill.

The Liu family found it difficult to make high profits from these elixirs, and they hated Wei Zhong even more.

"What kind of medicine did this Five Colors Taoist take? He can produce pills at such a fast rate. Doesn't he practice anymore?"

Liu Yu was very angry about this, and Liu Jin, who had a lower cultivation level, was also helpless. The two of them had no idea that with the rapid increase in Wei Zhong's alchemy proficiency, the success rate of refining this Ningyuan Miaodan increased significantly.

In just a few decades, Wei Zhong has been able to achieve an 80% success rate.

This is an unattainable probability for any sixth-level alchemist.

With Liu Yu's current level of proficiency, the success rate in refining the Green Lotus Qi Condensing Pill was only 50%, but it had already made the Liu family a fortune.

As for Xuanxiao Sect's Zi Yang Ju Yuan Dan, it is even worse. It is considered good to have a 35% chance of success.

Liu Yu couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Is there any news from the Dark Abyss?"

Liu Jin nodded:
"I just received the message. Recently, something seems to have happened in the Nether Abyss. A large number of corpses are wandering in the middle layer, attacking monks along the way, resulting in a large number of deaths.

"The Five Elements Immortal Sect has sealed off the middle level area, and only allows Void Refining cultivators to patrol here."

Liu Yu stroked his forehead:

"It's really like when it rains it pours. How many casualties have been suffered by my Liu family?"

“When the incident happened, most of my Liu family members were resting outside the Abyss, so the losses were not great.

"However, Xuanxiao Sect is in a bit of a plight. A large number of cultivators are trapped in the Geming Abyss. Most of the disciples in the sect are dead or injured. Elder Lianxu Yuhui was even besieged by the corpses and his soul and body were destroyed."

Hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't believe it:

“Yuhui, this person has been promoted to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm for many years. How could he die so hastily in the Geming Abyss?”

Seeing that his father didn't believe it, Liu Jin gave the original copy of the summons to the latter for review.

After reading the whole article, he sighed:
"The Xuanxiao Sect is in big trouble this time."

At the same time, Wei Zhong also received this news.

"Did the Xuanxiao Sect suffer a great defeat in Gemingyuan?"

He read the letter in his hand over and over again, and finally confirmed that Yu Hui, the refining cultivator who had once been on good terms with him, had been completely buried in this precious land.

"A large number of level six corpses appeared in the middle layer and attacked the exploration team. Most of the Xuanxiao Sect's troops were killed or injured. Even the Five Elements Immortal Sect's troops suffered heavy losses..."

'Has this Nether Abyss become so dangerous?'

Wei Zhong vaguely remembered that several hundred years ago, the Five Elements Immortal Sect summoned everyone to explore the middle layer of the Nether Abyss. Unexpectedly, after several hundred years, they would encounter a huge wall here.

"Level 6 corpses are wandering around, which is extremely dangerous for Void Refining cultivators. Once they are besieged, they will almost certainly die.

"Needless to say, cultivators at lower realms should just stay as far away as possible.

"It seems that my collection of sea dragon wood will have to be delayed for a while..."

He shook his head, opened the alchemy furnace in front of him, and the flames rose. A magic pill flew into Wei Zhong's hand...

As time passed, great changes took place within the Shahe Gate.

Jiang Changyu retired, and in the presence of the various peaks' Divine Transformation cultivators, he passed the position of the sect leader to Yan Yong.

Wei Zhong came forward specially and passed down a sixth-level magic sword to establish the legitimacy of his identity and stand on his side.

Intimidate the various peaks of Shahemen and avoid internal strife.

Three years later, Jiang Changyu passed away and the Shahe Sect was covered in mourning to bid farewell to the former leader.

Bao Xinzheng was unable to resolve the depression in his heart, so he resigned from Wei Zhong and went to Ge Ming Yuan to venture out.

Wei Zhong agreed and took back the seal of control over the latter.

From then on, one of the two brothers who were masters of the Shahe Sect died and the other left.

Wei Zhong could no longer find a single acquaintance.

Because Yan Yong was afraid of Wei Zhong, he always maintained the necessary respect for him.

As for the other people in Shahe Sect, they rarely see the great elder "Wuse" show up.

Only over the passage of years did I know that there was such a person in the sect, who controlled the most important sixth-level alchemy and sixth-level weapon refining within the sect.

It is also the amulet of the Shahe Sect, repelling foreign enemies.

Under such circumstances, the Shahe Sect flourished. In just a few hundred years, its strength surpassed that of the Le Family and the Huanjian Sect, which was constantly declining, and it became the most powerful virtual refining force in this area.

“Fellow Daoist Wu Se is running this sect quite well,” Yang Bao said jokingly as he looked at the large number of disciples passing by below.

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:

"It is just allowed to grow wildly. By the way, since Brother Yang Bao is here, have you found the Sea Dragon Wood?"

"Haha," the latter laughed, "I knew that Daoist Fellow Wu Se was thinking about this thing."

After saying that, he took out a piece of green wood, on which wooden pieces were arranged closely like dragon scales.

This is the sea dragon wood that Wei Zhong had been seeking for hundreds of years.

He rubbed his hands and looked at it carefully.

"I found this with great difficulty. There is no output in the Nether Abyss, so I posted a reward among many fellow disciples and exchanged it for twenty top-grade spirit stones."

"So expensive?"

Wei Zhong was shocked. At a glance, this piece of sea dragon wood seemed to be enough for refining pills seventy or eighty times.

And the most fatal point is that this wood is a dead object, which means that the Soul-Replenishing Secret Record cannot be used to accelerate its growth.

It’s gone once you use it up.

Even if this amount is 100% successful in refining, the total price of selling all Linglong Miaodan would be around fifty top-grade spirit stones.

Taking into account other alchemy consumables, it can be said that there is not much profit to be made.

What's more, this was Wei Zhong's first attempt to refine this kind of elixir, so it would be good if he could succeed 30%.

After the pill was made, it could be said to be a real loss.

"Haha, what does this little bit of spiritual stones mean to Fellow Daoist Wu Se's business?"

Without changing his expression, Wei Zhong replied:
"Brother Yang, what you said makes sense. But I hope you can continue to keep an eye on this thing for me. It would be best if you could help me find a living tree..."

"Living wood? This sea dragon wood is quite dependent on the breath of dragons. If it does not stay with dragon monsters, it will easily lead to death. This..."

"Brother Yang, don't worry about it. Since I need living wood, I am sure I can successfully breed it."

Wei Zhong has a big golden being in his hand. Although the latter is essentially the spirit of the law, when he fully stimulates his own abilities, he also takes the shape of a dragon.

Even if this doesn't work, there is a demon world behind Wei Zhong, where dragon-like monsters are lined up waiting for Wei Zhong to capture them.

With Wei Zhong's strength, he can catch a lot of sixth-order dragon monsters, including water, wood, earth, wind, and all kinds of attributes. Why should he worry about not being able to keep this sea dragon wood alive?
Seeing Wei Zhong's confidence, Yang Bao could only nod:

"Then I'll help you keep an eye out for this."

Wei Zhong took out 25 top-grade spirit stones and gave them to Yang Bao:

"This is the reward for this time. Brother Yang, take these five spirit stones and have some tea."

Then he stuffed a storage bag into the latter's hand:
"In addition, collect this sea dragon living wood, Daoist friend, you don't have to help me spare the spirit stone."

Yang Bao opened the bag and took a look. He was almost blinded by the glittering light of the spiritual stones inside.
"Good fellow, Fellow Daoist Wu Se has made a lot of money in the past few hundred years, and he is so generous."

Wei Zhong perfunctorily replied:

"No, no, he is far inferior to Brother Yang, a master disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect."
