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

Chapter 332: Yin and Yang are difficult to combine
"Junior Sister Yan, why don't you want to practice hard and reach the Great Dao of Refining Emptiness?
“But in this world, there are only a few people who have set foot on the realm of Void Refining, and Senior Brother cannot obtain it even if he wishes for it.

“That’s when I looked for the method of dual cultivation.

“After learning this method, Junior Sister and I can merge our yin and yang and climb the great path together. What’s wrong with that?
"Or is it that Junior Sister is not interested in the Void Refining Realm at all?"

What the other party said sounded nice, but Yan Fengzhi knew that it was not the case at all.

If it is truly beneficial to both men and women, given Cao Fangjin's status in the sect, there would be no shortage of Taoist companions in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It is because this method is dominated by the other party. Whether it is a dual cultivation method that is truly beneficial to both of them, or an evil method to absorb the essence of others, it all depends on the latter's thoughts.

The reason why Yan Fengzhi refused was that she had heard rumors that many women from the sect had become Cao Fang's golden furnace cauldrons.

Because this dual cultivation had damaged his foundation, let alone stepping into the realm of refining emptiness, even taking a small step forward above the realm of transforming the spirit became extremely difficult.

With such rumors, Yan Fengzhi did not dare to bet on the latter's mercy.

"Please don't force me, Brother Cao. I already have a partner in mind," Yan Fengzhi gave in.

"Humph, but what about Tong Gongmo? If you are placing your hopes on the latter, forget it.

"Where do you think that kid got the information about the secret realm? This time, it is very likely that he will be in danger. Junior sister, you should just obey him."

Yan Fengzhi's face changed when he heard this:
"Brother Cao, how dare you harm your fellow disciples? Aren't you worried about the sect's punishment?"

Cao Fangjin laughed:
"How can I punish him? The opportunity in the secret realm is real, but Tong Gongmo is not strong enough to obtain it..."

Just when the two were in a stalemate, a sword flew over. It was exactly Bai Changhong's idea.

Yan Fengzhi took it in his hand, and after browsing through the contents with his spiritual sense, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Senior Wu Se doesn't want to pay attention?"

Although he was disappointed, it was not beyond Yan Fengzhi's expectations.

Such private matters are indeed inconsistent with the original transaction and are beyond the scope of Wei Zhong's assistance.

However, when Yan Fengzhi saw the following message, he could only sigh in his heart:
'At this point, this is the only way.'

He crushed the letter sword and looked up at Cao Fangjin in front of him:

"Brother Cao, please go back. I have no intention of entrusting this body to others for the time being."

Seeing that Yan Fengzhi still refused to obey, Cao Fangjin could only shake his sleeves:
"Junior sister, you should think about it carefully. My Cao family is not an unknown family in Xuanxiao Sect. There is no harm in joining my Cao family. But if you don't agree..."

There was a threat in the words.

Then he left under Yan Fengzhi's gaze.

Seeing the latter moving away, Yan Fengzhi quickly packed up his things, flew across the sacred mountains, and submitted his resignation to the sect manager.

"Withdraw from my Xuanxiao Sect?"

The old man knew Yan Fengzhi's purpose and was quite puzzled, but when he recalled the rumors about Yan Fengzhi, he hesitated for a moment and took back Yan Fengzhi's token.

Then he reported the matter to the sect.

Xuanxiao Sect has no shortage of people in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so this kind of approval was completed quickly.

"Take care, Brother Daoist Yan!"

Seeing that all matters were settled and Yan Fengzhi had put aside his identity as a disciple of Xuan Xiao Sect, he felt such a heavy burden. He bowed to the cultivator in front of him, then turned around and left Xuan Xiao Sect.

We left Feiyu Fairy City and headed towards Shahemen.

Soon, Cao Fangjin, who was inside the sect, heard the news:
"Leaving Xuan Xiao Sect, is this woman crazy?"

The right hand holding the wine glass was suspended in the air, and he had not yet reacted to the news.

People around him have already started to remind him:
"Brother Cao, this is a good thing. Previously, due to the rules of fellow disciples, I didn't dare to use force. But now the opponent is no longer a member of Xuanxiao Sect, but a complete independent cultivator.

"Even if Brother Cao uses force, he will not violate the sect rules."

Cao Fangjin suddenly understood:
"Brother Lou did remind me."

He turned around and looked at the sect fellow who was reporting to him:
"Do you know which direction Yan Fengzhi went?"

"What Junior Brother saw seemed to be in the direction of Shahe Gate."

"Hmph, the Sand Crane Sect? Even though that Five Colors Taoist is an expert in both elixirs and weapons, he doesn't dare to provoke my Xuan Xiao Sect.

"Brother Lou, please help me capture Yan Fengzhi. I will report the matter of the sixth-level magic sword to the ancestor."

Hearing the answer that satisfied him, Lou Jiong smiled:
"Brother Cao, you're welcome!"

Then the two of them left the sect's territory and flew all the way towards the Shahe Gate.

Yan Fengzhi had not escaped far when he was blocked by the two.

When he saw the spirit boat the two were riding on, he knew it would be difficult to escape today.

The speed of the sixth-order spirit boat is far beyond that of riding a sword.

"Junior Sister Yan, why did you do this? If you had obeyed Senior Brother, you wouldn't have had all these troubles."

I saw Cao Fangjin standing on the spirit boat, with a companion in the late stage of Spirit Transformation beside him.

Yan Fengzhi's expression gradually became solemn.

Without much communication, the conflict between the two parties soon broke out.

Yan Fengzhi had only entered the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm for a few years, and his cultivation was far from comparable to Cao Fangjin's. What's more, his opponent had a sixth-rank magic sword in his hand and had other people to help him.

Without a few moves, you will be defeated.

Coupled with the fact that he couldn't escape, despair surged into his heart for a moment.

At this moment, a sword light flew into the battlefield.

Bai Changhong jumped out, and the sixth-level magic sword shone brightly, forcing the two men back.

He grabbed Yan Fengzhi, crushed the talisman in his hand, and shouted:
"go!"

In a flash of inspiration, the two figures disappeared and were already ten miles away.

Seeing the two people teleporting, Cao Fangjin's face turned cold. He activated the spirit boat and chased after them with Lou Jiong.

……

"Failed again..."

Wei Zhong looked at the slag in front of him and shook his head.

The refining of Linglong Miaodan was much more difficult than Wei Zhong had imagined.

Although Wei Zhong had the foundation to refine the Ningyuan Pill, it was still not enough compared to the high-level elixir that was improved by two small grades.

Every time, he would fail in the early stages of alchemy, resulting in a furnace of waste.

Such a situation even made Wei Zhong doubt his own skills.

But seeing the mastery level six alchemy technique on the panel made him firm up, re-evaluate his gains and losses, and start refining the elixir.

Then, there was another furnace of waste slag.

"You really can't get over this hurdle?"

Wei Zhong was not convinced, but the waste of sea dragon wood forced him to stop.

Now Wei Zhong finally understood why Qingfengling, a thousand-year-old force, had only been able to refine a handful of Linglong pills during its existence.

It's not just because the elixirs are difficult to collect, but more importantly, the difficulty of refining them has doubled.

The success rate of making pills is too low, and the cost cannot be spread out at all. It is far less cost-effective than Xuanxiao Sect’s Zi Yang Ning Yuan Pill.

"There is no problem with the fusion of the five elements of medicinal power, but the yin and yang power is difficult to match in the alchemy furnace..."

The two key points to making this elixir are nothing more than the fusion and combination of the medicinal powers.

Wei Zhong practiced the Five Methods of the Spring and Autumn Period and had a deep understanding of the power of the five elements, so he had no problem getting started.

But Wei Zhong did not touch upon the Yin-Yang Dao at all. Not to mention fusing the two, even letting them coexist in the alchemy furnace was a big problem.

If you are not careful, the yin and yang medicinal power will impact and directly explode the furnace.

"It's a pity that I haven't practiced alchemy enough. I don't have as wide a range of knowledge as other alchemists."

Wei Zhong's practice of alchemy till now has been very targeted. He has been concentrating on improving his own cultivation and seldom refines other strange elixirs.

Therefore, the pharmacology of most cases is not clear.

"If I force myself to refine it, I'm afraid that this piece of sea dragon wood will only produce two or three pills, which is not worth the effort..."

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful, and after much consideration, he put away the accompanying elixirs and planned to improve his proficiency with the Ningyuan Miaodan.

"It would be better to improve it to the master level. Perhaps refining Linglong Miaodan will be easier."

Wei Zhong was feeling bored and ignored the flashing signal outside the cave.

After cleaning the alchemy furnace, Wei Zhong started to refine the Ningyuan Pill.

……

Outside the Shahe Sect, Yan Yong looked at the spirit boat standing outside the sect's formation with a gloomy expression.

He turned around and looked at Bai Changhong and the other two behind him, his voice was cold and stern:
"Elder Bai is a sect elder, but he doesn't know the rules. He actually brought such an outsider into our Shahe Sect and welcomed such a powerful enemy."

As the head of a sect, Yan Yong was naturally very annoyed about the two great gods blocking the door.

But the other party is a senior disciple of Xuanxiao Sect and is not easy to mess with.

“Please forgive me, Brother Daoist Yan. Senior Sister has left Xuan Xiao Sect and is now a true independent cultivator.

"That person from Xuanxiao Sect had bad intentions, so I was the one who lent a helping hand..."

"Leaving Xuanxiao Sect? You are a casual cultivator, so you must not be brought into our Shahe Sect. This kind of hatred has nothing to do with our Shahe Sect. If Elder Bai wants to help the other party, he should handle it himself. Why drag our Shahe Sect into the water?"

Seeing that Yan Yong had no intention of giving in, Bai Changhong was helpless.

He knew in his heart that he was in the wrong, but the two men outside were very powerful and he and Yan Fengzhi were no match for them.

He was forced to flee into the Shahe Gate and use this formation for cover.

"Please ask Yan Yong to inform the Great Elder on my behalf that I, Bai, am willing to take out the spiritual objects on my body and seek protection from Senior Sister..."

Yan Yong already knew that the other party was wealthy. Although he was dissatisfied with the latter's unauthorized decision-making, considering that it involved the Great Elder, he had no choice but to send a message.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, there was no response to the letter.

"It seems that the Great Elder has begun to retreat and is unaware of this matter."

"how come?"

The expressions of Yan Fengzhi and the other two changed.

Cao Fangjin, who was outside the formation, started to shout again:
"Fellow Daoists from the Shahe Sect, quickly hand over the female cultivator named Yan.

"That female cultivator stole the treasure of my Xuan Xiao Sect. I came here on the orders of the elders to capture her.

"Please don't make mistakes, fellow Taoists..."

The ancestor of the Cao family is the Lianxu elder of the Xuanxiao Sect, so naturally he can say anything he wants.

By fabricating a false charge against Yan Fengzhi, they can use the Xuanxiao Sect's affairs to pressure the Shahe Sect.

Yan Yong looked solemn, looked at the other elders around him, and said with a bow:
"Brother Kang, do you have any good ideas?"

The other party was a middle-aged male cultivator with a smooth chin and a youthful face. He was the only cultivator in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm in the Shahe Sect.

At that time, Wei Zhong killed all the great masters of the forces that invaded the territory of Shahemen.

The only cultivator of the sect, Jiang Changyu, had died of old age, resulting in a shortage of great cultivators at the level of Jindan in the Shahe Sect.

It took hundreds of years to recover.

Currently, Kang Licheng is the only great master of the Divine Transformation stage in Shahe Sect, and he was promoted only a few years ago.

"Does the Sect Master want to rely on me to fight against those two people?"

Kang Licheng shook his head:

"I have only been promoted for a few decades, but I cannot match the profound cultivation of the two. Moreover, the other party is using the sect's power to suppress us, so the leader has to think carefully before taking any action.

"Don't stir up a dispute between my Shahe Sect and Xuanxiao Sect. If the Great Elder blames me..."

Yan Yong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he understood the impact of such incidents.

"In my opinion, it would be better to expel this Daoist Fellow Yan..."

"That's right, that's right. The other party is not from our Shahe Sect. Why should we protect him just for Elder Bai's sake? We even offend Xuanxiao Sect because of this. This is really not good for our Shahe Sect..."

"Expel him, Master..."

The elders of the sects around were discussing the matter, and their opinions had already reached a consensus.

Yan Fengzhi's face became paler and paler.

Bai Changhong's expression gradually became more and more ugly. Yuan Caiqin, whose cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, could only watch all this and worry, wondering what solution she could come up with.

With a sigh, Yan Yong had no choice but to look towards where Bai Changhong and the other two were:
"My Shahe Sect has promised to protect the two of you for a thousand years, but this does not include Fellow Daoist Yan.

"Brother Bai, please don't make things difficult for us..."

The three of them looked at each other and saw that they were surrounded by the elders of the Shahe Sect.

Yan Fengzhi finally sighed:
“Junior Brother Bai, Junior Sister Yuan, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to leave. This journey is dangerous. I’m afraid that the hatred of Qingfeng Ridge in the future will have to be handed over to you two…”

"Sister..."

Although the two were reluctant, they had no other options.

It seemed that the people inside the formation had been talking for too long, and Cao Fangjin outside gradually lost his patience.

A talisman shattered, and golden rainbow light hit the Shahe Sect's protective formation.

"Do you really want to protect such a villain?"

He was obviously getting impatient and didn't take the people from Shahemen seriously at all.

"If I can't reach the state of refining emptiness, what can these small sects use to delay me?"

"not good!"

Seeing that the other party had launched an attack, Yan Yong's expression changed drastically.

Wei Zhong was immersed in cultivation and would not pay attention to such mundane matters for a while.

But the sixth-level refined corpse was different. It had already been ordered to guard the sect, and would automatically counterattack once it encountered an invader.

Moreover, the corpse refiners have simple intelligence and don't care about the background of the invaders.

Sure enough, just when Cao Fangjin was making his remarks.

A ray of black light gradually extended from the formation and arrived here in the blink of an eye.

When it appeared, I saw a refined corpse as tall as several people floating in the air.

The other party was tall and his dragon-like aura frightened everyone present.

The corpse qi spread, and its cold eyes were directed at Cao Fangjin and the others.

This made the two of them feel uneasy:
"How dare you, the Shahe Sect..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the corpse energy on the dead shadow transform into a shadow that enveloped the two of them as well as the spirit boat beneath them.

"Not good, inform the Great Elder immediately!"
