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

Chapter 365 Hunting the murderer
Only about nine hundred thousand years have passed since Wei Zhong was promoted to the realm of refining emptiness.

The time consumed was not long, but he had already been promoted to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm once, and even undergone krypton leveling.

This speed is rare in the spiritual world.

He can be called a genius, but this character does not match Wei Zhong's ideas.

What Wei Zhong wants is a reliable background and a stable practice.

Therefore, it is not what one wants to advance to the middle stage of Refining Void too early.

On the contrary, the so-called "forced breakthrough" using this breakthrough weapon is to show the outside world that one's qualifications are ordinary.

It made everyone feel that "if it weren't for this elixir, this person's promotion would have been delayed by hundreds of years."

This will reduce the attention Wei Zhong himself can attract.

According to Yang Bao, the internal factional struggles in the Five Elements Immortal Sect have reached an alarming level.

Wei Zhong doesn't want to get involved in internal struggles at this level of refining emptiness.

I just want to find a reliable backer so that I can practice in peace, not put myself in life-and-death crisis because of this backer.

Therefore, Wei Zhong must be as ordinary as possible in the eyes of everyone.

Yang Bao looked at Wei Zhong and said slowly:
"It will only take a thousand years for Fellow Daoist Wu Se to advance to the realm of refining emptiness! Why are you in such a hurry?
“No matter how good the elixir is, it has its corresponding drawbacks. It is better to spend more time honing your own cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist, you are still young and don't have to worry about the minor calamity, so why bother using this elixir to break through?"

Wei Zhong accepted the fifth-level Kanxu Pill and replied:

"Thank you for your reminder, Brother Yang. I am only seeking this pill as an insurance policy. Maybe due to my limited aptitude, I will stay in the early stage of refining emptiness for thousands of years and fail to advance.

"At least I'm not left with no options and can only wait to die..."

Yang Bao stroked his chin:

"It's good as insurance, but I estimate that with Fellow Daoist Wu Se's talent, this small bottleneck in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm should not pose a threat."

Wei Zhong laughed, picked up the wine on the table, and clinked his glasses with Yang Bao, saying:
"This matter of cultivation is ever-changing, who can say for sure?"

"That's true."

The two men clinked their glasses and drank for a while. After that, Yang Bao left contentedly with the Five Elements Spirit Pearl in his hands.

Wei Zhong held the pill bottle in his arms and murmured:

"At most, I can level up once more to add another 500 years of lifespan, and then I can try to formally break through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage."

Return to the cave and continue to practice hard.

As time passed, Feng Shuming stepped into the Longzang Secret Land with a gloomy face.

His robe was in tatters, with only a golden inner armor on his body. He raised his hand and crushed a talisman, then sat there waiting.

A moment later, someone arrived. They were Feng Xihui's people who were in this cave.

Everyone was shocked to see their young master in such an embarrassed state.

"Sir, what happened?"

The other party threw out a piece of spiritual wood with a gloomy look on his face. It floated in the air, and then the soul of a cultivator emerged from it.

He looked depressed, as if he had suffered a very serious trauma.

"Fellow Daoist Ling?"

Everyone was shocked. This person was none other than the protector assigned by Feng Xi Club for the young master Feng Shuming.

His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage. What kind of crisis had he encountered that caused his physical body to be destroyed and he could only flee here as his spirit?

"Young Master encountered a robbery when he went out this time. If I hadn't tried my best and sacrificed my body to protect him, I'm afraid..."

The meaning of his words was clear to everyone.

But doubts arose in everyone's mind:

"What kind of daring force dared to rob and kill the young master of my Fengxi Society?"

"Fellow Daoist Ling, can you identify that Tribulation Cultivator? What kind of power does he come from?"

Ling Feng shook his head:

"My eyes are not sharp enough." He turned to look at Feng Shuming, "Do you have any idea, sir?"

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Feng Shuming waved his sleeves impatiently:

“How should I know?
"And the distress signal I sent, why is no one responding?"

"This……"

There is a secret barrier in the Longzang Secret Land. Using ordinary communication methods, the news from the outside world will stop when it reaches the entrance.

If you want to send it inside, you have to go back and forth inside the secret place for manual delivery.

"The person in charge of this matter, if I remember correctly, should be Elder Liu, right?"

Everyone focused their attention on an old man in the crowd. He looked flustered and said hesitantly:

"I have assigned these people to my chief disciple, who should still be guarding the gate outside the secret place."

At this, Feng Shuming sneered and said:

"I haven't seen the person Elder Liu mentioned. Could it be that he has left his post without permission?"

Hearing this, Elder Liu panicked and immediately bowed his hands:

"Don't worry, sir. I will go check it out right away. If he really has left his post without permission, I will punish him severely."

After saying that, he hurried towards the entrance of the secret place.

Feng Shuming looked at the man's posture, and a hint of ridicule appeared on his face. He turned to ask everyone:

"Where's father?"

The leader stepped forward and answered:
“The Lord Master and other seniors of the Hedao sect have discovered a secret treasure in a secret place, and are currently breaking the formation to mine it, so they cannot get away.

"If the young master wants to arrest the murderer, just let me wait."

Among the Void Refining cultivators present, there are several in the middle and late stages of the Void Refining stage, which is almost half of the high-level forces of Fengxi Society.

But after hearing this, Feng Shuming still looked unwilling to cooperate.

Ling Feng had no choice but to step forward with his soul and describe the appearance and characteristics of the martial arts of the cultivator who attacked the two of them.

"The leader is a bald man who practices physical cultivation. His strength is so strong that it is enough to shake the void. My spiritual body is no different from paper in front of him...

"In addition, there are water monks and fire monks working together...

"The cultivation level is roughly between the early and middle stages of the Void Refining..."

After receiving the information provided by Ling Feng, Feng Xi will immediately use his connections in Baifeng Spirit Realm to find the identity of the attacker through Xuanxiao Sect and various major forces.

Even Wei Zhong, who was in Shahemen, received a letter instructing Wei Zhong to report to Fengxihui if he found a similar cultivator, and the other party would pay a certain amount of reward.

Putting the letter down, there was a top-grade spirit stone next to it.

Both items were given by Feng Xihui. According to the other party, these were just commissioned gifts for meeting.

"As expected, he is a wealthy man, and he can give away top-grade spiritual stones as gifts."

It is important to know whether Feng Xi would only entrust his own Shahe Sect, or whether the Xuanxiao Sect and the many refining and even transforming forces in the Baifeng Spirit Realm might be involved.

The gifts added up to this amount is not a small sum. "The financial strength of the Chamber of Commerce is extraordinary. Who on earth is so blinded by greed that he actually wants to provoke this young master of the Feng family?

"It's fatal. I still missed it."

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Zhong conveyed the contents of the letter to Shahemen.

Upon receiving this news, the disciples of Shahe Sect immediately began to discuss it.

"Who is so foolish as to dare to provoke this young master of the Feng family?"

"Yes, the other party has a father named He Dao, how could he let it go? The attacker is finished."

"A top-grade spirit stone as a gift, the Fengxi Society is really generous. If I can find the identity of a Tribulation Cultivator, I'm afraid I won't have to worry about anything I need to advance to the Void Refining stage..."

Many people think this way. Of course, some people have different views.

For example, Yuan Caiqin, the former eldest lady of Qingfengling, held the hand of the cultivator beside her and murmured:
"Brother Bai, do you think it is possible that the Liu family did it?"

Such remarks were immediately severely stopped by the other party:
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence!

"I know you can't let go of the hatred you had that day, but not all dirty water can be thrown on the Liu family.

“The Liu family is not easy to mess with, and Feng Xi will be even harder to mess with.

"Thinking of using Fengxi Society to eliminate the Liu family, Junior Sister, you'd better forget it. Fengxi Society is not easy to fool, and will not accept fooling. Don't get yourself into trouble.

"If you want revenge, you'd better practice hard. After you and I are promoted to the Refining Void Realm, we will go find Senior Sister Yan and seek justice for Qingfeng Ridge together..."

Listening to Bai Changhong's words, Yuan Caiqin couldn't help sighing in her heart.

He knew that it was much more reliable to rely on himself to avenge Qingfengling, but how could it be easy to improve his cultivation?

A long time has passed since the destruction of Qingfeng Ridge.

His cultivation is still at the Nascent Soul stage, and it is unknown how long it will take to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage.

'My senior brother has just reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and the later stages are out of reach. How much time will it take to break through to the Void Refinement Realm?

"I'm afraid I'll be nothing but a pile of dry bones by then..."

Although the two of them hold most of the heritage of Qingfeng Ridge, there are not many spiritual objects that can be used directly. Instead, most of them are raw spiritual materials.

Without the corresponding skills, both of them can only guard the treasure mountain in vain, and it will be difficult to transform it into spiritual resources.

He could only throw out a part of it every once in a while in exchange for funds for cultivation.

But even such cautious actions attracted the attention of some thieves within the sect.

If Bai Changhong's cultivation level was not quite low in the entire Shahe Sect, the two of them would have been taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives long ago.

"You and I will not get involved in this matter. Just stay in Shahemen and practice peacefully."

Hearing Bai Changhong's humming teachings, Yuan Caiqin nodded in response:

"Junior sister understands."

The news that Feng Xi would commission someone to track down the murderer spread throughout Shahemen, and it was no exception outside.

All the forces, big and small, in Baifeng Spiritual Realm received this news, even some independent cultivators were no exception.

Seeing Feng Xihui's generosity and the promised reward, the entire Baifeng Spirit Realm was in turmoil, searching for the vicious refining person who agreed with the information.

The five members of the Longteng Sect who learned of this incident from the Northern Territory Demonic Dragon Clan could not help but sigh:
“This Feng Xi Club is indeed troublesome.

"Not only does Feng Shuming have someone to protect him, he also has a seventh-tier magic weapon and many other means of protecting himself...

"If he escapes, we will be in a passive position."

Hong Yi looked at the letter in his hand and frowned.

Ao Xuan's words came to my ears:
"Brother Hong, why worry? If Feng Xi wants to look for us, just let him. How can he find us?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lin stood up and agreed:

“Brother Ao’s words make sense. We are hiding in the Longteng Sect. We are surrounded by our men and women, so we don’t have to worry about being exposed.

“Moreover, as long as you hide your appearance and aura outside, you won’t be easily discovered by others. The Fengxi Society’s methods are ultimately false.

"And hasn't our purpose of taking such a risk been achieved?"

After saying that, he looked at the two people in front of him.

A man and a woman, they were Tong Gongmo and Chen Ronglan, whom Wei Zhong was familiar with.

"Compared to the young master of Fengxi Society, the young master of Xuanxiao Sect is much easier to deal with."

It had not been long since he was promoted to the realm of refining emptiness, and he was not yet proficient in the use of sixth-level skills. The dragons captured him in a flash without spending too much effort, and he was not even allowed to send out a message for help.

In the eyes of Xuanxiao Sect and others, their young master had only been missing for a short period of time, which was not worth mentioning for a cultivator of the Void Refining Realm.

There was mockery in Jin Lin's voice, but the expressions of the two people in front of him did not change much. Instead, they maintained a dull expression.

"Sister Luo, how are your preparations going?"

Luo Jia stood up from where he was leaning over and said bluntly:
"We are almost ready. In a month at most, the minds of the two will be completely suppressed. We will be able to control them and take them with us into the Dragon Hidden Secret Land.

"Whether you are pretending to be a subordinate or hiding in a storage bag as a spirit pet, it's all fine..."

Hearing the word "spiritual pet", Hong Yi subconsciously revealed a look of disgust.

Jin Lin keenly grasped this point and added:
"Pretending to be a disciple of a subordinate sect has flaws after all. We might as well transform into his spiritual objects and attach ourselves to his body. This way it will be easier to control him."

Turning to look at the dragons present:

“Brother Gu and Brother Ao, since your aura concealment is not perfect, then please don’t participate in this trip to the Dragon Hidden Secret Land. Let me, Sister Luo, and Brother Hong go.

"You two will be responsible for the response outside."

Although both of them were opposed to his appointment, they knew that what the other party said was the truth and it was the best arrangement, so they found it difficult to refute it.

Hong Yi said firmly:

"Let's do it this way."

His cultivation was the highest, and since he had already reached a conclusion, the four dragons naturally had no reason to refute it.

Moved to Chen Ronglan's front:
“This female cultivator once said that in two months, she would have a high-level spirit bead transaction with the Five Colors of the Sand Crane Sect.

"In order to avoid being exposed, Jin Lin, you control this person to go to Shahemen and test the effect. If you can't hide it from the Five-Colored Taoist, it will be useless to deal with other cultivators. The plan will have to be postponed again..."

"Yes, I am also quite curious about the magic weapon Lingzhu, and I just happened to take this opportunity to..."

After March, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, and a large number of spiritual beads and magical weapons had accumulated in his storage bag.

He distributed most of it to Xiao Qingfeng, asking him to make up for the reserved share of the previous cultivators, and he personally handed over the remaining sixth-level spirit beads to the same-level refining cultivators.

All the major refining forces sent their refining masters or their disciples to visit Wei Zhong and obtain the promised spirit beads from him.

Within just three days after Wei Zhong broke the news, most of the sixth-level spirit beads he had prepared were sold.

At this time, the controlled Chen Ronglan finally arrived.

"Five-color Daoist friend!"

The two sides exchanged greetings, and Wei Zhong handed over the spirit pearl. He wanted to chase the other party away and continue practicing, but unexpectedly, the other party did not leave for a while, and instead pulled Wei Zhong aside to chat.

Wei Zhong was chatting idly when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the blue spiritual ring in his hand.
