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

Chapter 331: Rumors of the Sun's True Essence
Although Yang Bao's identity was not simple and he was extremely wealthy, it was difficult for him to spend so many spirit stones like Wei Zhong did in order to collect a spiritual object.

There were fifty top-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, which was almost equal to the wealth of most cultivators in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

However, for Wei Zhong, this amount of spirit stones is just a small expense.

Wei Zhong has earned much more spirit stones from selling elixirs and magical instruments over the years.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se has a great skill. If he could join my Five Elements Immortal Sect and receive training from the sect, he might become a seventh-rank alchemy master in the near future..."

Just like Le Xinghai back then, Yang Bao also had the idea of ​​introducing Wei Zhong to join the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, Wei Zhong's attitude remains as firm as ever.

"I'm cultivating well in the Sand Crane Sect, why would I go to a place like the Five Elements Immortal Sect where there's so much power and strife? "

"I envy the inheritance of the Immortal Sect very much, but unfortunately I am used to being idle and don't like gang fights."

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se does see things clearly, but unfortunately there is no place in this world where one can be truly free and unfettered. Even if fellow Daoist wants to cultivate here and keep himself away from others, outsiders will not agree.

"Trouble will come sooner or later."

Wei Zhong naturally understood this truth. Before this, the Liu family had been quite hostile to Wei Zhong. If it weren't for the matter of the Mingyuan that diverted the latter's attention, they would have dealt with Wei Zhong long ago.

There is also a force that secretly spreads rumors, which is also closely related to the Liu family.

“As the old saying goes, when the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I have practiced for many years, and I did not get this level of cultivation by compromising.

"There are many monks who have died at my hands."

Wei Zhong's words were quite confident, which made Yang Bao look a little strange:

“It seems that I have underestimated Fellow Daoist Wu Se, but please be prepared.

"Many forces have suffered setbacks in the Ge Ming Yuan, and there has been no progress for a long time.

“If this continues, the monks who cannot gain any benefit will sooner or later disperse to nearby areas.

"The Baifeng Spiritual Territory is only separated from it by a region of land, and sooner or later it will become the border of chaos."

"All kinds of monsters and demons. Sect cultivators are fine, but those unrestrained independent cultivators probably won't follow the rules.

"The alliance that has been temporarily assembled may become the prototype of a new force..."

After hearing what Yang Bao said, Wei Zhong also had some thoughts about it.

Over the years that the Geming Abyss has been developed, many monks have benefited from it, but just as many have died in it.

Many forces have been destroyed as a result.

The Qingfeng Ridge that Wei Zhong is familiar with is one of them. The territories left behind by these forces are excellent spiritual lands.

Although it is divided among nearby local forces, they are not united.

If there is sufficient external pressure, these spiritual lands will still return to the hands of certain high-level monks who stick together, thus forming a new force.

With this deduction, Baifeng Spirit Realm could not escape a period of turmoil.

Not to mention these independent cultivators, even the cultivators from the sects or families who withdrew from the Geming Abyss would be enough to cause turmoil in the Baifeng Spirit Realm, which had been peaceful for a long time.

'I'd better protect the basic foundation of the Shahe Sect, work hard to improve my own cultivation, and be more capable of dealing with external troubles.

'in addition……'

"I'm looking for the way to Tianyin Leishan Mountain for you, Taoist friend. Do you have any idea?"

Yang Bao put down the wine glass in his hand:

"There is indeed some news, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed after hearing it."

"Fellow Daoist Yang Bao, why don't you tell me about it?"

“The Kangle Spirit Realm in the northernmost part of my Five Elements Immortal Sect, and the Guangfu Spirit Realm in the southernmost part of Tianyin Leishan.

“Originally, there were large spiritual boats traveling between the two places, but recently due to the solar change, an extremely complicated fire cloud disaster occurred.

"It has become extremely difficult for the Spirit Boat to travel through this area. Once it passes through, the amount of Spirit Stones consumed just to maintain the Spirit Boat's protective shield is an astronomical number, which is enough to pass through it three or four times before.

“Due to cost considerations, the cross-domain spirit boat has been stopped by the sect’s upper echelons.

"We don't know when it will be reopened. And there is a high probability that the ticket price will increase after it is reopened..."

After hearing Yang Bao's explanation, Wei Zhong couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"The Sun's Change, the Fire Cloud Disaster? What is this?"

Yang Bao answered
"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, have you ever heard of the True Essence of the Sun?"

Wei Zhong hesitated:

"But is it related to the Sun Essence in the Mahayana Realm?"

“That’s right, the Mahayana practitioners absorb the true essence of the sun and the moonlight of the moon, and use the power of both to reshape the body and solidify the soul.

"From then on, you will achieve an immortal body with an endless lifespan. You can use the power of the law and become a great immortal.

"If you survive the nine heavenly tribulations, you can ascend to the immortal world and become a true immortal."

After hearing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but say:

"Could it be that this fire cloud disaster is related to the true essence of the sun, and another great being is about to appear in the spirit world?"

Yang Bao just shook his head:

"Who knows? When it comes to the Mahayana level, it is beyond the knowledge of cultivators like us.

“Similarly, when it comes to forces of the same level as Mahayana cultivators, we should naturally stay as far away from them as possible.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, just wait patiently for the fire cloud disaster to pass. Or you can go around other areas and head to the Tian Yin Lei Shan territory, but it will be difficult..."

Yang Bao had already explained the interests involved very clearly, and Wei Zhong was not a rookie who had just entered the world of cultivation. He was well aware of the dangers and complications along the way.

"I will keep in mind what Brother Yang said!"

Wei Zhong's cultivation was still a long way from reaching the state of integration, and the abnormal thunder tribulation had not yet come upon him. Even the impending minor heavenly tribulation would take at least two thousand years.

Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to go to Tianyin Leishan to obtain the thunder method. The reason why he entrusted Yang Bao to inquire about the news was just a habitual preparation for a rainy day.

After the two of them had a conversation over drinks, Yang Bao left with the storage bag.

Wei Zhong was not worried that he would keep the fifty top-grade spirit stones for himself. Given his status, there was no need for him to covet such a small advantage.

And even if he was greedy, fifty top-grade spirit stones would not be a big deal for Wei Zhong. At most he would spend more time and earn them back from elixirs and magic weapons.

After Yang Bao left, Yan Yong stepped onto the stone steps in the mountain, walked step by step, came to Wei Zhong, bowed and clasped his hands:
"Reporting to the Great Elder, Yan Fengzhi from Xuanxiao Sect has sent another message."

Wei Zhong looked a little impatient:

"What trouble is this time?"

Ever since Yu Hui died in the Geming Abyss many years ago, Yan Fengzhi lost the protection of the reputation of this Master Lianxu, and his status in the sect plummeted.

If it weren't for his cultivation in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, his status as a disciple of the Xuanxiao Sect might have been revoked.

But even so, life was quite difficult.

He was excluded everywhere in the sect, not only unable to obtain enough resources, but also had enmity with the powerful people in the sect for various reasons.

Over the past few hundred years, he has sought Wei Zhong's help many times.

Wei Zhong was happy to lend a helping hand at first, but as the number of incidents increased, he began to get annoyed.

"This time it's the young master of the Cao family. He is quite interested in Yan Fengzhi and wants to become a Taoist partner with him..."

"What a mess..."

As the only unified force in Baifeng Spiritual Realm, Xuanxiao Sect naturally has many factions within it.

The Cao family is one of them, and the ancestor of the family is Cao Shen, the Void Refining Cultivator that Wei Zhong met at the Refining Exchange Conference. He is also a refiner and a junior of Gong Maoyun.

The Cao family is a powerful family in the Xuanxiao Sect.

Under the influence of such family power, it is understandable that the disciples are a little arrogant and domineering.

"Don't worry about it, let her solve it herself."

"But Elder Bai also begged for mercy..."

The Elder Bai that Yan Yong mentioned was Bai Changhong who joined Qingfengling hundreds of years ago.

His spiritual cultivation had been integrated into the Shahe Sect over the past few hundred years, and he had become an elder of the sect.

"Oh, why do I have to give Bai Changhong face?"

Yan Yong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he immediately knelt down:
"Don't dare..."

Wei Zhong waved his hand:
“Tell those guys from Qingfengling to be quiet. Don’t think that you can have a say in front of me just because you have made some achievements in my Shahe Sect.

“As for Yan Fengzhi, I promised to provide him with cultivation resources before, but I have no obligation to help him deal with the obstacles in his cultivation.

"Please don't bother me with such mundane matters. I am very busy and don't have the time for this."

After saying this, he took a step forward and disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

Wei Zhong had no interest in being a babysitter. He had agreed to provide Yan Fengzhi with resources for cultivation only out of consideration for the alchemy heritage.

A recipe for a sixth-grade top-grade Linglong Miaodan would be enough for Wei Zhong to use for thousands of years.

This kind of treasure is the reason why Wei Zhong is willing to take out the resources for practicing the Divine Transformation.

As for the rest, Wei Zhong was too lazy to care.

Wei Zhong's words echoed in Yan Yong's ears, and he walked down Lingshan with a cold sweat on his back.

He cursed himself in his heart for having been in the position of the Sect Leader for too long. He even became a little too proud of himself. He accepted the benefit from Bai Changhong and thought about persuading the Great Elder.

After going down the mountain and walking out of the formation, Yan Yong saw Bai Changhong and Yuan Caiqin who had been waiting there for a long time. The two of them put their arms around each other, looking very intimate.

Yan Yong felt a nameless anger rising in his heart when he saw this.

When the two saw Yan Yong returning, they hurried forward to ask:

"Brother Yan, did the Great Elder say this?"

What greeted him was Yan Yong's sneer:

"What do you mean? Are you asking about the people from Xuan Xiao Sect?"

Shake your head:

"The Great Elder is so busy that he doesn't have the time to deal with such a mess. You two fellow Taoists should figure out a solution on your own."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left without paying any attention to the surprised looks of the two.

"Brother Yan..."

No matter how the two called out, there was no response.

"Husband, this..."

Bai Changhong frowned:
“It seems that the Great Elder is unwilling to pay attention, so we should find another way.

"Can Senior Sister Yan still hold on?"

Yuan Caiqin shook her head:
"That young master of the Cao family is pressing hard, I'm afraid I can't stand it. If there's no help, I'm really going to become that man's cauldron."

"It's really troublesome. If my senior sister and I had joined the Shahe Sect, we wouldn't have been bullied by such powerful people," Bai Changhong said helplessly.

As early as when Yu Hui died, the two of them had advised Yan Fengzhi to leave Xuanxiao Sect and join Shahe Sect.

But the latter believed that the status of Xuanxiao Sect disciples was higher, and they had access to better platforms and even cultivation resources.

For a moment, he couldn't bear to give up the sect robes and persisted for hundreds of years, but he unexpectedly became like this.

“There has been no news about Brother Tong recently. He has been in that secret realm for many years and has not returned. I am afraid something has happened to him and I cannot rely on him.

"We can't wait any longer. Let Senior Sister Yan withdraw from Xuan Xiao Sect and seek refuge in Sha He Sect."

Yuan Caiqin looked worried when she heard this:
"But, will this anger the Great Elder? I..."

"Let's try our best. Senior sister and the Great Elder have a promise that they will not stand by and watch someone die. If all else fails, we can take out some of the things in the storage ring and ask the Great Elder for help."

The two of them quickly finalized it, and then drafted a letter and sword and sent it to Feiyu Fairy City.

Wei Zhong had no idea of ​​the little thoughts in the two men's minds, and he had no interest in the game between these gods.

Now, his eyes were filled with the sea dragon wood that he had just obtained.

"Sea dragon wood, ground into powder, as the yin side of the elixir refining process..."

Recalling the description in the pill recipe, Wei Zhong carried out preliminary processing on this spiritual object, and later went to the spiritual medicine garden in the backyard and picked a few exquisite hexagonal flowers.

After Wei Zhong's cultivation, the age of this flower vine has increased dozens of times and has successfully reached 100,000 years.

The price was part of Wei Zhong's lifespan and a large amount of top-grade spirit stones.

It costs much more than cultivating golden thunder bamboo.

This is because the number of flower vines is too small. The cultivation of a large number of flower vines in the early stage takes a lot of time and resources, and a large amount of resources are also invested in the later stage.

This is how the only 100,000-year-old exquisite hexagonal vine came into being today.

The lotus has six petals, representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as the yang element.

This yang is not a precious thing like the true essence of the sun, but a lower-level yang energy.

However, sea dragon wood is of the yin element. The combination of yin and yang and the unification of the five elements are the reasons why this exquisite elixir is difficult to refine.

This is also the reason why the people of Qingfengling believe that this pill is stronger than the Ziyang Juyuan Pill.

The balance of yin and yang is always better than just yang.

"Crush the petals and blend them with sea dragon wood powder..."

Although it was Wei Zhong's first time to refine it, he had gone through the various refining processes countless times and had already memorized them by heart.

In addition, Linglong Miaodan is an advanced version of Ningyuan Miaodan, and there is some connection between the two. For Wei Zhong, it is much easier to use than other sixth-level elixirs.

The fire of the alchemy furnace was rising, and Wei Zhong threw various spiritual medicines into the alchemy furnace one by one...

"Master Cao, I just want to practice well, why do you have to force me?"

Yan Fengzhi looked at the male cultivator in front of him with helplessness in his eyes.

Cao Fangjin and Tong Gongmo were both disciples who achieved the state of transformation in the same period.

Both of them have been trapped in the Spirit Transformation Realm for many years and unable to break through.

The difference is that what trapped Tong Gongmo was resources, while what trapped Cao Fangjin was his mentality.

However, the latter seemed unaware of it, and was collecting methods for advancing to the realm of refining emptiness everywhere, and found a method of dual cultivation from somewhere.

Increase yin and replenish yang, and achieve the unity of yin and yang.

Yan Fengzhi was no longer his first female disciple to be a scourge.

There were several people who had tried before, but unfortunately, perhaps because they did not have enough skills, none of them succeeded.

Cao Fangjin then shifted his target to Yan Fengzhi, who was helpless in Xuanxiao Sect.
