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

Chapter 351 Five Elements Spirit Beads, done!

Yang Bao shook his head:
"How can I know this? At present, there are at least a dozen refining masters from Xuanxiao Sect, Fengxi Society, Wanhua Sect, Corpse King Palace, and even my Five Elements Immortal Sect in the Dragon Hidden Secret Land.

"The great masters above are not interested in this kind of spiritual wood, so we youngsters have to rely on our own abilities. Who can tell the strength of each family?"

Wei Zhong jokingly said:
"Brother Yang, do you have a chance?"

The latter touched his nose and laughed:
"Fellow Daoist, you want me to offend my fellow disciples."

"Brother Yang, please tell me clearly. If it works, I will definitely pay you a reward that will satisfy you. There will be no shortage of top-grade spirit stones..."

Before Wei Zhong could finish his words, Yang Bao interrupted him:
"It's not a matter of spirit stones. If it can be solved with spirit stones, that would be great. But for these Void Refining cultivators, what does a few spirit stones count for?"

Wei Zhong pretended to listen, and Yang Bao continued to add:

“For us Void-Refining cultivators, although we use various means to earn Spirit Stones on a daily basis, the ultimate goal is to exchange them for cultivation resources.

“Although the sea dragon tree is mostly dead and only has some life left, it has been infused with dragon blood and is no longer an ordinary spiritual object. It can be regarded as one of the top resources among the sixth tier.

“Even if this kind of item cannot be fully utilized, it can be entrusted to a weapon refiner to refine it into a sixth-level magic weapon, which is very likely to be a sixth-level top-grade one.

“Plus, the dragon corpse has almost merged with it, so perhaps his spirit has also merged into it.

"In the future, if we can find the right spiritual material, we can upgrade it to the seventh level. It can even give birth to a weapon spirit, and it will become a seventh-level spiritual treasure."

Yang Bao praised this sea dragon tree highly.

Although Wei Zhong was surprised, his expression was calm:
"Brother Yang is going too far. The description is just a possibility. If all kinds of spiritual materials in the world are like what Brother Yang said, everyone has the potential to be a spiritual weapon.

"After all, this sea dragon wood is just a simple sixth-level spiritual wood. Since it has a grade, it has a price."

Wei Zhong went straight to the core of the problem, but Yang Bao was not as easy to talk to as before.

After a while, he sighed:
"It's not that I don't want to help, but I'm not strong enough. I'm afraid I have to use some of my best tricks. These tricks may be more valuable than the sea dragon wood."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong understood the latter's thoughts and difficulties. The other party really wanted to help Wei Zhong and also wanted to make some money from Wei Zhong, but unfortunately he lacked the strength.

If you are competitive enough, you can get the sea dragon wood back by paying a small price.

However, if one's personal realm is too low, one must use some special means, just like Wei Zhong must use the Taoism of Time.

It's not worth it just for a single sea dragon tree.

Wei Zhong stroked his chin and thought for a while before speaking:

"How long will it take for the fight for that Sea Dragon Tree to begin?"

"It should take about two years. The external formation has not been completely broken, and we can only watch from afar."

Wei Zhong was surprised:

"so long?"

Yang Bao laughed:
“Fellow Daoist Wu Se has somewhat underestimated this Dragon Treasure. If it were not for the treasures hidden inside, it would not have attracted these Dao masters.

"How can it be simple to attract a secret place that is in harmony with the Dao?

"Just like the Nether Abyss, it has been developed for hundreds of years, and it is still far from the end. It can be extended for at least another thousand years.

“Although the Dragon Hidden Secret Land is not as good as the Nether Abyss, it is still easy to develop it in a few hundred to a thousand years.”

Wei Zhong was stunned when he heard this, as if he had a new understanding of the level of refining emptiness.

The development of just one secret place in the spiritual world would last longer than the lifespan of those golden elixirs and primordial infants.

It's a bit like a mortal who survives to death and sees his childhood friend who once ascended to immortality and is still in his prime.

"Two years is a conservative estimate, and it may take longer. Of course, if those who are in harmony are willing to help, this time can be greatly shortened.

"But the great masters of Hedao have gone to the depths of Dragon Hidden Mountain to fight for their own opportunities. How can they be interested in wasting time with us juniors?"

Yang Bao talked freely, as if he was accustomed to this kind of scene.

Wei Zhong pondered for a moment and continued to ask:

"Do the major forces have any plans to allow outsiders or independent cultivators to enter?"

"Not yet. It won't be possible in at least a hundred years. Even if we sell the qualifications to enter the secret realm, it won't be possible."

After taking a look at Wei Zhong, Yang Bao showed a hint of surprise:
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Wu Se wants to go into battle himself?"

In Yang Bao's eyes, Wei Zhong is a true ascetic. He has a lot of skills, no shortage of spirit stones and cultivation resources, and he is a conservative person who never takes risks.

Now you are thinking of doing it yourself for a spiritual tree?
"Brother Yang, you are joking, but I am just asking casually."

After a long silence, Wei Zhong stood up and bowed:
"I can't ask anyone else for help with the matter of the Sea Dragon Wood. I have to ask Brother Yang for help. As for the reward, within two years, I will definitely give Brother Yang a spiritual object that will satisfy him."

Wei Zhong looked serious, and there seemed to be a hint of confidence on his face.

Yang Bao did not ask what kind of spiritual object it was, but simply stood up as well:

"Then I will wait and see. If Daoist Fellow Wu Se can really impress me, I will definitely get this Sea Dragon Wood for you."

The two men negotiated for a while before Yang Bao left Shahemen.

Wei Zhong watched the latter's light gradually moving away from him, then turned around and returned to the cave.

Entrusting Yang Bao with this mission was the result of Wei Zhong's careful consideration.

In addition to the fact that Wei Zhong had many transactions with him, it was also because the latter kept his mouth shut.

If there is anyone in this spiritual world who knows that the person under the "five-color" vest is Wei Zhong, it is only Yang Bao.

However, hundreds of years have passed, and Wei Zhong has not heard any news about his identity being exposed from the outside world, which shows that the latter is trustworthy.

This is also the reason why Wei Zhong values ​​​​it the most and is willing to pay a greater price for it.

Yang Bao’s offer might be more expensive than those offered by other companies, such as Xuan Xiao Sect, but that’s not important.

Recalling the promise he made to Yang Bao, Wei Zhong sighed:
"At this point, apart from a few things I cannot part with, the only spiritual object I can pledge as a pledge is the 'Five Elements Spiritual Pearl' that is about to be refined."

Why is it said that it is about to be refined? It is because Wei Zhong has repeatedly failed in refining the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl. Every time when he is about to succeed, he is just a hair's breadth away.

It was this line that made Wei Zhong unable to stop. He tried many times, but always failed.

"The sixth-level lightning bead and wind bead are comparable to a blow from the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm. The combination of the two, the wind and lightning bead, is absolutely at the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

"And the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl, which is above the Wind and Thunder Pearl, is the pinnacle of the power of the Void Refining Realm. It has enough killing power to any cultivator in the Void Refining Realm. Even those who have reached the Perfection of the Void Refining Realm cannot withstand its power."

But even such a powerful magic weapon, Wei Zhong was unable to refine it.

The furnace exploded several times, and the Five Elements Pearl, his life magic weapon, was fed to the point of being full.

He took out the Five Elements Pearl, which was shining with five brilliant colors. It was already at the sixth-grade upper level, far beyond the cultivation level of its owner Wei Zhong.

If Wei Zhong's own cultivation level had not been limited, he might have entered the seventh level.

"Try again, if it doesn't work..."

Wei Zhong went into seclusion, devoting himself to the study of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

No matter how the external situation changed or how the storm spread, Wei Zhong ignored it.

The entire Shahe Sect developed steadily under martial law.

Inside the cave, the refining furnace exploded again and again.

In order to avoid being unable to react in time, Wei Zhong simply hung the Five Elements Pearl that was responsible for suppressing it over the furnace. Seeing the latter absorb many five elements of spiritual materials, the surface of the pearl became more and more shiny, but Wei Zhong became more and more distressed.

In just one year, Wei Zhong spent countless spirit stones on refining the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, but unfortunately the results were minimal.

On the one hand, Wei Zhong's skills have not reached this level, and on the other hand, the power of the five elements cannot be balanced.

Looking up at the five-element bead floating above his head:

"It would be great if this one-time five-element spirit bead could absorb and balance the power of the five elements like this five-element bead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zhong fell into deep thought. He looked down at the five elements spiritual materials around him, and then looked at the five element beads in the air that were already very full but still stuffed with the five elements' energy.

"Can't we use spiritual materials to refine it directly? Why not just extract the five elements of energy from the Five Elements Pearl to refine it?"

With a flash of inspiration, Wei Zhong began to try.

Strictly speaking, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl is extremely similar to Wei Zhong's natal magic weapon.

Both of them have to achieve a balance of the five elements within them, and even their appearances are somewhat similar.

Wei Zhong's natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Pearl, is of the sixth-grade upper grade, even close to the best grade, and has a profound heritage.

The loss of some of the five elements did not have much impact on Wei Zhong.

It's like extracting some water from an overflowing reservoir, which does no harm.

Wei Zhong performed spells with his fingers and guided his mind. Even his soul came out of his body, and his two palms covered the Five Yuan Pearl.

Strands of the Five Elements' Qi were drawn out from the Five Elements Pearl, flowing between the soul and Wei Zhong's body like a five-colored ribbon.

"The five elements determine the foundation, and they mutually promote and restrain each other..."

A large amount of auxiliary materials were absorbed by an unknown force and put into the smelting of the five elements.

A month later, the furnace failed and exploded, and a large amount of five elements energy leaked out, and was then suppressed and absorbed by the five element beads above.

Taking into account the losses, the total is about 50%.

Wei Zhong's expression remained unchanged. He summed up the gains and losses, and started the furnace again the next day.

This time the refining process lasted for two months and also ended with a furnace explosion.

The third attempt took two months, and the Five Elements Spirit Pearl began to take shape, but its foundation was unstable and showed signs of collapse. Wei Zhong was dissatisfied and took the initiative to detonate it, thus making the fourth attempt.

The fourth time took three months.

Wei Zhong stared nervously at the refining furnace in front of him, where red flames were steaming, spiritual energy was surging, and there seemed to be a whistling sound.

With sweat on his forehead, Wei Zhong paid no attention to it, and stretched all his spiritual consciousness into the refining furnace, controlling the temperature of the furnace flame and the shape of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

Watching drop after drop of five-colored spiritual liquid being filled into the main body of the spiritual bead, Wei Zhong's heart gradually began to lift.

Finally, after several hours of intense excitement, the spirit bead was completed, and all the five-colored spiritual light on its surface was restrained, indicating that the refining had been successful.

Wei Zhong's mind suddenly relaxed, his consciousness returned to his body, and a feeling of dizziness came over him.

"It takes too much mental effort."

For more than a year, Wei Zhong worked almost day and night, devoting all his mind to the refining of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl. One can imagine the workload.

Fortunately, he was able to successfully refine his life-saving magic weapon, the Five Elements Pearl, otherwise Wei Zhong would have lost all his money.

But he had no time to be happy at the moment. Wei Zhong extinguished the fire and began to meditate and regulate his breathing to restore his spirit.

After three days, the divine light was full.

Wei Zhongcai took out the Five Elements Spirit Pearl from the refining furnace. Looking at the pearl with five colors and concentrated spiritual light, Wei Zhong could no longer suppress his laughter.

This pearl is undoubtedly of the sixth-grade top-quality standard, and the best among the top-quality ones.

If it can be mass-produced, it means that Wei Zhong’s normal strength can be further improved with the blessing of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.

He raised his head to look at the Five Yuan Bead, his life magic weapon, floating in the sky.

Its aura is still dazzling, and although its momentum has diminished, its grade has not dropped.

"With the help of this life-saving magic weapon, it seems that mass production of these five-element spirit beads is not a fantasy."

Considering that there was still time left as agreed with Yang Bao, Wei Zhong started the furnace again while his hands were still hot.

A moment of negligence in his spiritual consciousness caused the furnace to explode again.

A large amount of scattered five elements energy floated up and was completely absorbed by the Five Elements Pearl.

Cleaning the slag, Wei Zhong seemed to be accustomed to all this.

Without any fluctuation in expression, he resumed refining the weapon.

Soon, the second Five Elements Spirit Pearl was born from the refining furnace.

Holding two five-colored beads in both hands, Wei Zhong could not hide his joy.

Tried again, and it still exploded.

In this repetitive process of refining the weapon, the Five Elements Pearl also dropped from the sixth-grade upper grade back to the sixth-grade middle grade.

“If we can achieve a 100% success rate, a full five-element bead can at least support the refining of four five-element spirit beads.

"During this time, I recovered half of the five elements' energy. With my level, refining two would be considered good."

Looking at the Five Elements Spirit Beads in his hand, Wei Zhong was very satisfied.

Estimating that the agreed time was approaching, Wei Zhong put it away, and then took the Five Yuan Bead in his hand.

"The grade of my life treasure has dropped, and with the large amount of spiritual materials consumed, I estimate that it is worth about 40 to 50 top-grade spiritual stones.

"Refining this spirit bead is really a job that costs a lot of spirit stones."

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Zhong piled the remaining spiritual materials and five-element beads together, using the five elements of energy in them to restore the power of his life magic weapon...

After waiting for several days, a beam of light flew into the Shahe Gate. Wei Zhong stood up on the Lingfeng Peak and bowed with a smile:

"Finally, we've met Brother Daoist Yang!"

The other party laughed:

"Did Daoist Fellow Wu Se fulfill his promise?"

"That's natural!"

He stretched out his right arm, and a round five-colored bead flew out from his sleeve. It was only the size of an ordinary person's fist, but when Wei Zhong slightly activated it, it revealed tremendous power.

Yang Bao's smiling face froze, and instantly turned into a solemn look.

His eyebrows were twitching wildly, as if he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and turned around to run away.

At the same time, the spiritual light of the robe around him was activated, and he quickly expanded to resist the impending attack.

"Five, Five-Colored Daoist Fellow, please quickly retract your magical powers!"

Wei Zhong grinned, spun his palm, and the Five Elements Spirit Pearl flew back, and the dull pressure in the air disappeared.

Yang Bao stared at the spiritual pearl in Wei Zhong's hand, full of disbelief:
"Five Elements Spiritual Pearl, Daoist Fellow has actually managed to refine it?"
