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

Chapter 401: Intermediate-grade elixir, joining the clan

It is worthy of being the Xuanqing Yiqi Jue that even Yun Fengyao highly recommends.

In the past, Wei Zhong had to use his own magic power to replenish the pill and make it completely formed, but now this step can be skipped.

The Xuanqing Qi and the eight hundred years of spiritual power accumulated in Wei Zhong's body are enough to deal with such situations.

It perfectly avoided Wei Zhong's shortcomings of insufficient cultivation and insufficient magic power.

In addition, the combination of Xuanqing Qi and the spiritual patterns on the surface of the elixir makes the latter's aura more profound. It reveals an extraordinary aura at first glance, and it is no problem to resist several elixir tribulations.

When the alchemy furnace was opened, the elixir flew into the sky, facing the thunder.

Seeing the seventh-level elixir, all the cultivators were surprised.

"It is indeed a seventh-level elixir, or a blood and flesh elixir..."

Those with vision immediately identified the type of this elixir.

"It seems that this elixir is not included in the records of my Five Elements Immortal Sect. This Master Wu Se really has some opportunities outside..."

The discussions continued, and Yang Bao focused his gaze on the dark clouds in the sky not far away.

He didn't know much about alchemy, he only knew that when a seventh-level elixir came into the world, there would be a pill catastrophe.

If the pill tribulation can be overcome, the elixir will be created. If it fails, all the previous steps of alchemy will be invalidated and all efforts will be in vain.

"Senior Brother Wu Se, you should be confident, right?" When Luo Muxue saw the thunder tribulation in the sky, a hint of fear instinctively appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, Brother Wu Se never does anything without confidence."

Below the thunder tribulation, Wei Zhong, as an alchemist, did not avoid it. He watched the elixir fly under the thundercloud, and the first thunder tribulation fell with a loud bang.

When the lightning faded away, the pill was intact as before, and the first pill pattern appeared on the pill's surface.

The patterns of Danwen are delicate, with gold and green mixed in between.

One thunderbolt went away, and another thunderbolt came. Wei Zhong looked calm, without any worry in his eyes.

With Xuan Qing's protection, this kind of thunder tribulation has no effect on this seventh-level dragon blood pill.

Gazing at the pill tribulations that were happening one after another in the sky, the cultivators watching outside had their hearts in their throats.

"The third one..."

"The fourth one is a seventh-level mid-grade elixir. It's incredible. Could it be that this Five Colors Master wants to establish his authority by refining the elixir this time?"

"The fifth way..."

"The sixth one. Another thunder tribulation will be of the highest quality. Is there still a chance?"

Wei Zhong also looked at the calamity clouds in the sky at the same time, but unfortunately, the black clouds were gathering and the seventh thunder calamity did not stay for a long time.

On the contrary, as time went by, it gradually showed signs of dispersing.

"pity!"

Wei Zhong understood the crux of this alchemy problem. It was simply that the raw materials used to make the pill were too ordinary.

The demon pill is of the sixth level, and the dragon blood is also refined from the fifth or sixth level. If these two types can be raised to the seventh level, there will be a chance to refine the real seventh-level top-grade dragon blood pill.

"pity……"

"pity……"

There were countless sighs from the surroundings, expressing regret for not being able to see the birth of the seventh-grade top-quality elixir.

Wei Zhong flew over to get the elixir, and the elixir furnace was also put into his sleeve.

Looking at the eyeball-sized pill in his hand, there were six elixir patterns surrounding it, and it was the best among the seventh-grade mid-grade ones.

The body of the pill is more compact, with a smooth and round surface.

Wei Zhong held the pill in his hand and just after taking a sip, he felt his body roaring and exuding endless desire.

"Good Dan!"

This elixir is the best among all the elixirs refined by Wei Zhong, it is of the seventh-grade mid-level quality. An ordinary Void-Refining cultivator cannot purchase such an elixir even if he spends all his fortune.

When the cultivators saw that the pill disaster had subsided and Wei Zhong had completed refining the pill, they all came forward to meet him.

"Master Wu Se, I, the Tie family, come to pay a courtesy visit..."

The other people also took out their own gifts: "My Lin family is also interested in meeting you..."

There were countless people who said this. Wei Zhong tilted his head to look at Yang Bao and the woman following behind him, smiled slightly, and then bowed to the monks present:

"This pill is not for sale for the time being. I'm sorry to disappoint you all. You can come to see me, but you don't need to bring any gifts..."

After a lot of tug of war and refusal, Wei Zhong finally sent these people away.

In Wei Zhong's opinion, these people in front of him were all numbered and came with a purpose. They were not representing individuals, but the clan forces behind them.

Accepting a gift is not a sign of friendship; it is often a sign of surrender at certain times.

Wei Zhong did not like factional struggles and was devoted to cultivation, with no intention of gaining any benefit from the struggles among these forces.

With Wei Zhong's current abilities, he can obtain any resource he wants with just his skills. With such strong strength, why should he care about the opinions of these people?

After refining a seventh-grade intermediate elixir in front of everyone, Wei Zhong didn't believe that there would be anyone who would dare to snatch his elixir like Ye Pingchun did.

After sending most of the people away, they returned to their respective families with the news about Wei Zhong's alchemy.

The news of the birth of the seventh-grade intermediate elixir continued to spread among these clan forces.

In Chunting Palace, Ye Pingchun looked at the slag in the alchemy furnace and couldn't help but show a look of frustration.

"Failed again..."

He also tried to refine the seventh-level elixir, but due to his lack of skills, he failed repeatedly.

This time, even the step of merging the elixir liquid and forming the elixir in the furnace could not be completed.

There is no sign of the subsequent pill-making tribulation.

“However, as I refine more and more times, my technique has become more and more proficient.

"Next time, next time, I will be able to refine this pill and face the pill calamity..."

The bell in the alchemy room rang, and Ye Pingchun frowned slightly.

He stood up with a flick of his sleeves, walked outside the alchemy room, and said impatiently:
"Brother, what happened again?"

The latter bowed:

"Brother, something terrible has happened. Wu Se has refined a seventh-level elixir a few days ago."

"Hmm? It's just alchemy, why make a fuss? I'm going to do it too, Senior Brother."

The person in front of him took a step forward and added:

"Brother, that five-color elixir is a seventh-grade middle-grade elixir, and it is only one step away from being promoted to a top-grade six-pattern elixir."

"What?" Ye Pingchun was shocked. It was as if there were huge waves in his mind. He was stunned by these words.

"According to the news from the various clans, this mid-grade elixir is not the limit for Wu Se. It is entirely because the quality of the raw materials used in refining it is not high enough. Otherwise, it would definitely be a top-grade elixir...

"Brother, should we go and apologize to him?"

The man looked at his senior brother and found that the latter was in a daze and did not hear what he said at all.

I couldn't help but pull the latter's sleeve:
"Brother, brother?"

At Liuyun Residence, Wei Zhong sent away most of the visitors, and then angrily hung a sign at the door saying he was in seclusion, turned away outsiders, and then locked the cave formation. Seeing this, Yang Bao teased:

"Brother Wu Se, aren't you worried that this behavior will offend these people?"

Wei Zhong shook his head helplessly:

"It's okay if I'm offended. They come in batches, and it will take me several days to receive them all.

“Trouble, trouble!”

Wei Zhong looked in front of him. There were only Yang Bao, Luo Muxue and the neighbors near Liuyunju. There were less than ten people in the courtyard of this cave.

“Brother Wu Se, you’ve become famous this time.

“The news that fellow Daoist has become a seventh-rank weapon refiner has not yet spread completely, and yet he has already refined a seventh-rank mid-grade elixir in public.

"Now, it will be hard not to become the focus of this immortal sect."

"Yes, yes, those guys seemed to want to eat Brother Wu Se alive after seeing this. I'm sure the head of the family will come to visit us personally with a valuable gift soon, and there might even be a beautiful lady from the clan following him..."

Wei Zhong heard what everyone said and replied with a smile:

"I just want to practice peacefully, but I don't want to deal with troubles, fight and waste time. Do you have any way to help me avoid it?"

"This……"

The cultivators all looked troubled. When ordinary people encountered such a thing, they would rush forward desperately. How could they avoid it like the plague like Wei Zhong?
"If I remember correctly, Fellow Daoist Wu Se currently has no master?" Li Jingsuo said, holding a wine glass.

Wei Zhong nodded slowly.

"That's easy. Just find an elder of Hedao and become his disciple. The master will protect you from all these troubles and help you identify the benefits..."

This proposal seemed good, and everyone who heard it nodded.

But the truth was completely different. Wei Zhong had accepted Yun Fengyao's promise to be his disciple, so how could he dare to join someone else's sect at this time?

If Yun Fengyao returns with success, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the "Mahayana cultivators"?

Originally, all these troubles should have been dealt with by Wei Zhong's senior brother Hou Yanbin, whom he had never met before. However, the other party was sent by the sect to guard the Ge Ming Abyss and could not return for hundreds of years, which led to this embarrassing situation.

"Brother Yang, doesn't the Palace Master have the intention to accept a disciple?"

Yang Bao heard several people asking questions and coughed twice:
"The ancestor has his own plan for this matter, so please don't ask about it anymore."

Since Yang Bao said so, the others did not ask any more questions. When it comes to matters involving Hedao monks, the less you know, the better.

But several people were all puzzled:
'It is clear that Yang Bao is so close to these five colors, and Palace Master Yang is also quite optimistic about the latter, so why has he never shown any willingness to accept him as a disciple?

"Is there some unspeakable secret?"

The cultivators were full of speculations, but could never get an answer.

"Since you can't become my disciple, Brother Wu Se, why don't you just join a clan? I think the Luo family, where Fairy Luo is, is a good one."

All the cultivators turned their eyes to Luo Muxue, whose face turned slightly red but whose brows remained firm. She turned to look at Wei Zhong, wanting to hear what he thought.

What surprised Wei Zhong was that Yang Bao also started to persuade him at this time.

"Friend Li is right. The Luo family is indeed a good choice for Brother Wu Se..."

"Brother Yang, you..."

Yang Bao raised his hand to interrupt Wei Zhong:
"Brother Wu Se, don't be anxious. Just listen to me and finish what I have to say."

Wei Zhong stopped talking and listened attentively to the latter's thoughts:
“The Luo family is a ten-thousand-year-old family of our sect, and has existed for nearly a hundred thousand years.

“Even though the Luo family has become so weak now, it doesn’t even have a Hedao cultivator or a seventh-level alchemist.

"But the clan still has a very rich foundation, far beyond the reach of those emerging seventh-tier clans..."

At this point, the voice gradually faded and turned into voice transmission:
"The Luo family has a solid foundation but is weak, which is exactly Brother Wu Se's opportunity. Who says that the cultivators must be absorbed by the clan later?

"With Brother Wu Se's ability, he can definitely become the master of the Luo family."

Wei Zhong was shocked. He never expected that Yang Bao would want to dig up other people's foundation.

"Brother Yang, you are going too far..."

"Fault? What fault? Brother Wu Se has been in seclusion for a long time since he joined the sect. Maybe he doesn't understand the current situation of the Luo family.

“As an immortal family that has survived for many years, the Luo family has become weak and debilitated. It is simply a piece of fat meat on the chopping board.

“I don’t know how many forces are eyeing the Luo family. If it weren’t for Elder Duan of this hall who took care of the Luo family, I’m afraid the Luo family would have been torn apart and swallowed up by the other clans long ago. How could Brother Wu Se have a chance to be there?

“Besides, when I say taking over, I don’t mean digging up the Luo family’s roots like other clans.

"On the contrary, this is to save the Luo family. The Luo family is weak, and now the clan's spiritual land can no longer be rented. The clan is almost falling apart.

“Brother Wu Se took over the Luo family not to cut off their life force but to bring them back to life.

“With Brother Wu Se’s ability, if he can take out the magic weapon Lingzhu from the various weapon refining techniques, and combine it with the connections and various channels that the Luo family has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and cooperate with each other, he can make a lot of money.

“In this way, the Luo family can regain its foothold because of Brother Wu Se, and the entire Luo family power can be used by Brother Wu Se alone. If there is any spiritual object missing in the future, it won’t be a matter of a few words, right?

"Such a win-win situation is impossible to achieve through cooperation with other clans. Only the weakened Luo family can do it."

After hearing this, Wei Zhong fell into thought for a moment. What Yang Bao said made sense.

However, Wei Zhong had doubts about how much ability the Luo family still had after it became so weak.

Moreover, as for the power struggles within the Five Elements Immortal Sect, Wei Zhong has always kept his distance from them since he joined the sect.

That is why once one enters a sect, one would remain in seclusion for eight hundred years, and after coming out, one would display one's abilities and establish one's authority.

To avoid these troubles.

But now, in order to avoid trouble, we have to go into trouble. It's really...

"Brother Wu Se, Fairy Luo has shown interest in you, don't you think you are not interested?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong turned his head to look at Luo Muxue. Although the latter was a little shy, there was a firm look in her eyes. She looked straight at Wei Zhong, as if she wanted to get an answer from Wei Zhong.

'pity! '

Wei Zhong replied via voice transmission:

"Brother Yang, do you think that after practicing for so long, I will still be tempted by women?"

Wei Zhong has lived in this world for more than three thousand years, and the long years have erased too many of Wei Zhong's desires.

Even the appetite from the previous life is gradually disappearing, not to mention lust and love affairs.

"Alas," Yang Bao sighed, and then transmitted his voice:
“Even if Fellow Daoist Wu Se practices hard, he still needs to make some adjustments.

"Besides, Junior Sister Luo is not one of those mediocre women who only have the appearance for show. The fact that she has been able to cultivate to the level of Refining Void has already proved that she is an extraordinary talent.

"Moreover, his words and actions clearly prove that he is extremely intelligent and has a good grasp of the big picture. He is a good helper for Brother Wu Se to handle internal and external affairs.

"With the latter's assistance, Brother Wu Se does not have to do all the mundane things himself. Leave it to the latter, and he can still do it for Brother Wu Se.

"Brother Wu Se, why don't you use this spare time to practice and refine pills and weapons?"

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful. The other cultivators in the field heard the two of them communicating with each other and realized that this was not the place for them to stay.

He said goodbye to Wei Zhong and the other two and left.

Wei Zhong bid farewell to everyone, then looked back at Luo Muxue with a thoughtful expression:
"Join the Luo family?"
