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

Chapter 341: The Way of Unity
The immortal spirit flowed along his palm and gathered towards the magic weapon rattle. The spiritual patterns on the wooden drum body were lit up and extended along the spiritual pattern route drawn by Wei Zhong to the green metal drum skin.

Spiritual patterns covered the entire drum, and Wei Zhong felt the rattle in his hand tremble.

Then he slowly raised his head and rotated his palms at the same time.

Two small black balls hit the two drum skins.

With a loud "bang", the place where Wei Zhong's spiritual sense was locked onto exploded immediately. Spiritual energy overflowed and the shock wave spread throughout the entire cave.

When it touched the protective magic circle in this cave, spiritual light flashed wildly.

The outer monks also noticed the movement in this cave, and in an instant a Xuanxiao Sect monk arrived here:
"senior?"

Wei Zhong untied the cave's protective formation and saw that it was a Shenhua disciple he didn't recognize. He explained casually:

"The alchemy furnace exploded..."

After hearing Wei Zhong's casual excuse, the disciple turned around and left without thinking much.

After closing the magic circle, Wei Zhong returned to the cave, holding the rattle in his hand with surprise and joy.

Although the casting time was a bit long, about a breath of time, the power was beyond Wei Zhong's expectations.

This kind of power has exceeded the explosive effect of the Wind and Thunder Pearl. The strength of the attack in the late stage of Refining Void is undoubtedly more terrifying than what Chen Yuan demonstrated at the beginning.

"I wonder how it compares to the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl?"

Wei Zhong has insufficient experience in refining equipment and is not yet able to refine a sixth-level five-element spirit bead.

I am just lacking such a powerful magic weapon.

The rattle he was waiting for at this moment just made up for Wei Zhong's shortcoming.

"Such a powerful weapon, Chen Yuan sold it immediately. He was really willing to do so."

However, when Wei Zhong looked down at the rattle in his hand, he immediately understood why.

Fine cracks appeared on the drum surface. Turning over the drum, Wei Zhong saw similar cracks on both sides.

"This glazed green iron actually cracked after just one strike?"

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes, feeling a little regretful and unbelievable.

After taking a good look at the entire rattle, I discovered that not only was there a crack on the drum surface, but the iron rope made of glazed green iron also showed signs of breaking.

As for the rest, the wooden drum body was still in tatters and was not affected at all.

Including the black ball, there was no damage at all.

“I understand now…

"It turns out that only seventh-level spiritual materials can withstand the power of this spiritual drum!"

It seems that something like the glazed green iron will break at most after three times of use. Wei Zhong used one in this experiment, so there are only two left.

The spiritual iron was exchanged for five spiritual stones, and there was also the processing fee paid by Wei Zhong as a sixth-rank weapon refiner. Only a weapon refiner could not afford such a magical tool for repairing.

No wonder the Chen family, which is clearly a Hedao family, never left this magic weapon to their own family members.

Why keep a thing that is so slow to activate, repair and eats money? It would be much better to exchange it for some magic swords and give them to your tribesmen.

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free bargain in this world. I was wondering why Chen Yuan was so straightforward in selling it."

Wei Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"But Chen Yuan made money, and I didn't lose anything."

If ordinary people use sixth-level spiritual materials to repair this object, they must not only use suitable spiritual materials to fill the drum surface, but also select and refine suitable drumsticks.

After a few uses, these things will break and the spiritual stones will be wasted.

But Wei Zhong was different. Due to the hardness of the black ball, Wei Zhong only suffered a loss of two drum heads.

It is still within Wei Zhong's tolerance.

“Others spend spirit stones to beat one drum, but I, Wei, can do it with half of that.

“If there is a chance, I can take advantage of this grand ceremony to find a seventh-level spiritual material suitable for the drumhead, and perhaps I can find a way to completely repair this magic weapon.

“Although my current level of weapon refining is not up to par, I will be able to do it sooner or later.

"I have added another seventh-level magic weapon to my trump card, and my own safety is guaranteed."

In addition to this rattle, Wei Zhong also has the seventh-level Yantian Whip obtained from Mitian.

Normally speaking, this whip is stronger than a rattle, but Wei Zhong's strength is limited and it is difficult for him to unleash its full power. Now he can only rely on the material of the Yantian whip itself to swing it hard.

It is impossible to do what Mi Tian did in the past, to make full use of the spatial characteristics of the Yantian Whip to tightly connect the two small worlds together, and to build a space channel in it to allow the demons to pass through.

This kind of ability is not something that can be achieved at the level of Refining Void. Wei Zhong seriously doubts that he will not be able to do such an exaggerated thing even after he sets foot in the level of Refining Void.

Although the magic weapon was of the seventh rank, its material was already of the eighth rank. Just like the fragments of the spatial law contained in the Demon Abyss Palace, Mitian could only use the latter to attack and store things, but could not build a passage to the two middle thousand worlds.

The cultivator's own abilities are insufficient, and the characteristics of the magic weapon are not in line with the cultivator's zodiac sign, so it is very difficult to fully unleash the power of the magic weapon.

This is the case with the Yantian Whip, but the rattle is different.

The activation of this rattle is very simple, so simple that even a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm like Wei Zhong can use it.

It has a single function, which is to kill. Even when it is complete, it is not considered a rare item among the seventh-level magic weapons.

But it is precisely this kind of simple magic weapon that is suitable for enhancing Wei Zhong's strength.

Looking closely at the rattle in his hand, Wei Zhong confirmed that the cracks on the drum surface could not be repaired.

It has long been integrated with the spiritual patterns of the entire drum body. Any slight change will cause the entire drum surface to collapse.

“It seems that we have to repair it after it is completely worn out.

"Rattle, rattle is not convenient to call, so I call you..."

Wei Zhong looked at the small black ball hanging from the edge of the drum:
"Double Yao Spirit Drum."

After naming it, Wei Zhong put the Shuangyao Spirit Drum into the Demon Abyss Palace.

"Thanks to this Mitian, otherwise it would be very difficult for me to set foot in the spirit world."

The key to open the demon world, the seventh-tier magic weapon Yantian Whip, and the magic storage device Moyuan Palace that can span multiple realms without losing items.

All this is thanks to Mitian’s contribution.

Even the true demonic energy that Wei Zhong obtained when he was promoted to the realm of refining emptiness was obtained from him.

"What a good man! I will definitely thank him when I see him again."

Then Wei Zhong took out the "Xuanqing Bima Dan" he got from Feng Shuming and began to look through it. After reading the entire recipe, Wei Zhong recognized most of the elixirs recorded in it.

But there are still some types with strange names that Wei Zhong has never heard of before.

"It's a good opportunity to collect some during this grand ceremony..."

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day. According to the information he had obtained, Wei Zhong went to various places in Feiyu Immortal City to participate in the exchange meetings between the void-refining levels. In three days, he exchanged a lot of treasures.

Although there were some small auctions held by the Lianxu forces during this period, from Wei Zhong's perspective, only the finale item was interesting, and the others were not worth looking at.

Therefore, in order to save time, I did not participate.

On the fourth day, when Wei Zhong was about to attend the exchange meeting, a stranger suddenly greeted him.

Wei Zhong saw that the man looked unfamiliar and it seemed that he had never seen him before. However, when he saw the skinny hand he stretched out, he immediately knew his identity.

"So you are the Taoist friend from the Corpse King Palace," Wei Zhong said in a voice transmission, "I finally heard you talk about the Sea Dragon Wood last time, but was interrupted unexpectedly. This time I must ask you for advice. "After the exchange meeting, will you do me the honor of meeting me?"

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se invited me, so naturally I won't refuse."

The two agreed to meet at a teahouse not far away after the meeting, and then they each walked to the exchange meeting and took a seat.

Wei Zhong was concerned about the sea dragon wood, so he was very vague about the exchange meeting. As it happened, not many people took out many rare items, and the exchange meeting ended after a while, and everyone left.

……

"The various exchange fairs in Feiyu Fairy City have been open for several days. Most of the good stuff was taken away by others in the first few days. The remaining ones are either too expensive or of poor quality..."

The monk beside him explained to Wei Zhong.

"What about Fellow Daoist Lin? Have you found something that suits your taste?"

Wei Zhong raised his cup and asked the monk opposite him.

The latter was none other than the person from the Corpse King Palace. After conversation, Wei Zhong learned that the latter's name was Lin Hui, and his cultivation level was in the late Refined Void stage.

His lifelong practice was full of adventures on the road, and he crossed many spiritual realms. He traveled far and wide and learned a lot, so he learned about the sea dragon wood.

"Of course I got it, but I believe that Fellow Daoist Wu Se must be dissatisfied."

"Haha, aren't you waiting for news from Fellow Daoist Lin?"

Wei Zhong put down the teacup and clenched his fists:
"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Lin, are there any living sea dragon trees left anywhere else besides the dragon monster in the north?"

The latter looked serious:
“Sea Dragon Wood is indeed a rare thing. I have never heard of any of it being kept in the hands of individual cultivators, but it is still available among those major forces.

"For example, the Five Elements Immortal Sect and Tianyin Thunder Mountain."

Both of these are Mahayana forces. Wei Zhong has had some contact with the cultivators in one of them, but it is still difficult for him to use this to plot against the Sea Dragon Wood.

Another thing is that although Wei Zhong is one of the disciples, he has not yet acknowledged his ancestral roots, which is also wishful thinking.

"To put it in a smaller scale, some Hedao forces also have stocks, and the one closest to you should be the Fengxi Society."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"The Fengxi Club, does it really exist?"

"This Fengxi Club is a Hedao force in the form of a chamber of commerce, and it places the most importance on business. Daoist friend's weapon refining skills are not bad, and you should have had contact with them before."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly:

"Indeed, but the other party's attitude is still a little vague..."

Lin Hui sneered:
"It's just a common tactic used by the Feng family. Every ordinary cultivator wouldn't want to climb up the Feng family's ladder. They play hard to get and wait for others to come to them, then deliberately lower the price to make a profit.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, please don't be fooled. Since this is a business, you should discuss it openly. It is best to make it a fair transaction for both parties and don't let yourself suffer any loss."

"I understand. Thank you, Brother Lin, for your advice."

After getting the news about the sea dragon wood, Wei Zhong was quite enthusiastic and talked with Lin Hui about the various realms of the spiritual world.

The latter was also talkative and told Wei Zhong many of his past experiences, which greatly broadened Wei Zhong's horizons.

“There are only a few disciples in my Corpse King Palace, but they often stir up trouble in various places, so they are not well received by these local forces.

"The old man from Xuanxiao Sect changed color when he saw me, and the girl from Wanhua Sect deliberately attacked me in the same way."

Wei Zhong smiled:

"I think Fellow Daoist Lin is a wonderful person. How could he be avoided by those people?"

Lin Hui shook his head slightly without saying anything more.

Wei Zhong looked at the latter's withered arm holding the teacup:
"As far as I know, your palace does not seem to be a corpse-refining sect. The name of this Corpse King Palace..."

Lin Hui stretched out his arm indifferently:
"It's just outsiders blaming me!

“Most of the people walking around in my Corpse King Palace are in the Void Refining stage, cultivating a body of dead energy that causes their bodies to decay, making them look like mummies.

"Besides, they are all very powerful, and I don't know when they got the title of 'Corpse King'. The faction they belong to is also called the Corpse King Palace.

"It just so happens that the old guys in the sect were quite satisfied with this name, saying that it would motivate the disciples to practice, so they did not stand up to correct it. Over time, it really became the Corpse King Hall."

Looking at his arms:
“However, if the cultivators of our sect can cultivate a ray of vitality from this dead energy, then their skills in this realm will be perfected, and they can step into the realm of harmony with the Tao and fully restore their physical bodies.

“However, I have practiced for many years and still have no signs of advancement.

"I can only maintain this mummy appearance and parade through the streets."

Lin Hui looked a little regretful.

After hearing these words, Wei Zhong didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only pick up his teacup and clink tea with the latter.

After having a good meal and tea, Lin Hui bought a few spirit beads from Wei Zhong before leaving, then waved goodbye and left.

Wei Zhong also returned to Yunli Cave. There would not be many good things in the upcoming exchange, so Wei Zhong simply went into seclusion to practice and wait patiently for the arrival of the ceremony.

After seven days, a bell sounded inside Xuanxiao Sect, and its voice spread throughout the entire Feiyu Immortal City. Even Wei Zhong who was in the cave was startled by the bell sound.

When he came out to look, he found that there were many fellow practitioners of the Lianxu Sect who also leaned out to check the situation.

The bell rang continuously, three times.

"The ancient bell rang three times, which means the grand ceremony is about to begin."

There were monks talking in a nearby cave.

Sure enough, there were suddenly many more Xuanxiao Sect cultivators in Yunli Cave, spreading the news to Wei Zhong and others that the ceremony was about to begin.

"Brother Wu Se, let's go together."

The people who came were Wei Yuesheng and Le Lin.

The three of them flew out together and saw the entire sky was filled with escaping lights.

There are countless stages such as Yuanying, Huashen, Lianxu, etc.

"As expected of a regional overlord, this kind of pomp and ceremony is far beyond our reach."

But this is not the end yet. Two strange spirit boats suddenly appeared above Feiyu Fairy City, blocking out the sky and casting huge shadows down.

A spiritual boat with a strange shape like a leaf, with a flag floating on the bow, representing the Fengxi Society.

The other hand was like a boathouse with stacked floors, covered with gauze, dim lights, and soft music coming from it. It was the Wanhua Sect.

The size of this spirit boat was far beyond what Wei Zhong had seen. It was undoubtedly a seventh-order spirit boat.

A light laugh echoed through the void:

"Fellow Daoist Feng and Fellow Daoist Xu came without even saying hello, otherwise I would have gone to greet them."

Wei Zhong only heard the voice but did not see the person.

But he already had a guess in his mind about the owner of this voice, the Xuanxiao Sect's Grand Master, the great master of Hedao, Master Xuanxiao.

"Haha, on this happy day, why do you need Old Man Wu to come and greet us? We will come to congratulate you!"

After saying that, two long rainbows flew from the spirit boat into the Xuanxiao Sect.

Wei Zhong got a little closer to the boat shop, and immediately a strange aura hit his body, causing his sea of ​​consciousness to tremble continuously.

When he calmed down, he saw that many people nearby were looking at the escaping light from afar, all with fascination.
