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

Chapter 406: Refining the Pill Together, Dispute over the Armor

One thunder tribulation, two thunder tribulations, three thunder tribulations, three pill tribulations, all passed in the blink of an eye.

Wei Zhong didn't even have time to take a closer look at the thunder in the sky before the clouds of thunder slowly dissipated.

The Tianfenling Zhendan fell into Wei Zhong's hands.

Looking at the three lines on the pill, Wei Zhong sighed slightly.

"This is my first time refining this pill. As expected, I am still a little unskilled. I am just a little short of being able to enter the middle-grade level."

Raising his hand to take back the alchemy furnace, Wei Zhong silently said in his heart:
"But it's a good thing. I can barely absorb the seventh-grade low-grade elixir with my late-stage refining cultivation. If it's a mid-grade one, it won't be good."

Wei Zhong's expression cheered up a bit, then he fell from the air.

"My husband, Senior Hou invites you!"

After a while, Wei Zhong finished refining the Tianfen Lingzhen Pill and came to the main hall of the Tianfen Palace.

Hou Yanbin had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Wei Zhong coming, he quickly greeted him.

"Junior brother, you've been refining pills in seclusion. I wonder what you've come up with?"

"It's just a Heaven Burning Spirit True Pill. I wonder what you want from me, Senior Brother?"

Hou Yanbin showed surprise:
"Junior brother's alchemy skills are indeed amazing. He succeeded in refining this pill on his first try. It seems that this matter is 90% certain."

After saying that, Hou Yanbin explained to Wei Zhong what exactly was going on.

"Work together to make the elixir?"

Wei Zhong looked surprised and suspicious.

After listening to what Hou Yanbin said, I realized that this time it was an invitation from an alchemist from the Muyuan Hall of the Immortal Sect, and a total of six alchemists were invited to refine the elixir together.

"This pill is divided into five elements, yin and yang, and there are seven sub-pills in total. Each sub-pill is of the lower seventh-order level. If the seven pills are combined into one, the middle-order level will be achieved, and there is a chance that it will reach the upper-order level, which is the eighth-order level..."

"Seven Star Mysterious Life Pill, what is the effect of this pill?"

Hou Yanbin replied:

"It's a very powerful spiritual elixir. Once a seventh-grade intermediate elixir enters my stomach, it can raise the level of a cultivator in the middle stage of Hedao to a level of half a degree.

“People who have accumulated a good amount of cultivation can directly rely on this elixir to enter the late stage of He Dao. The best quality ones can even push people to the state of perfection.

"If it is the eighth level, it is said that if a person can swallow one, it is a Mahayana."

Wei Zhong was really shocked when he heard this.

"Mahayana? If Mahayana is so easy to attain, why would those seniors still go to such great lengths to search for the Sun Essence and the Moon Essence?"

"Oh, Junior Brother, you misunderstood. Can't these two things be part of this elixir?"

"Brother, do you mean to use the true essence of the sun and the moonlight of the moon to refine this pill?"

"That's right, and not only that, in addition to these two treasures, there are also five more Five Elements treasures.

"Only by refining the seven pills together can we finally achieve the eighth-grade Seven-Star Mysterious Life Pill."

'It turns out that this eighth-level elixir cannot be made by luck alone, but requires the accumulation of various natural treasures.'

“After refining it into a pill, it will be much simpler than simply refining two yin and yang spiritual objects.

"This pill is not useless on the road of cultivation, but the only drawback is that in a person's lifetime, only the first Seven Star Mysterious Life Pill they swallow is effective.

"No matter how effective the elixir is, it will be a waste. If you force yourself to swallow it, it will damage your body, and the loss will outweigh the gain..."

Wei Zhong was very interested after listening to Hou Yanbin's explanation.

"Brother, can I exchange this elixir recipe for it in my Five Elements Immortal Sect?"

"Of course there are, you can find them in the martial arts inheritance building of each hall.

"But there is no need to waste time exchanging it at this time. The alchemist is very wealthy and has already prepared it for us."

Wei Zhong nodded. Hou Yanbin explained this with the intention of bringing Wei Zhong to participate in the alchemy.

"The time for refining the elixir will be half a year from now. I will first submit the names of my two brothers to Master Sudan for him to select..."

Wei Zhong left the Tianfen main hall only to realize that this matter might not necessarily succeed.

"Su Mizhen, a seventh-level alchemist from the Wood Source Palace, is in the middle stage of the He Dao stage and has refined a seventh-level high-quality elixir..."

After reading the information about this person obtained from Hou Yanbin, Wei Zhong knew the latter's purpose of refining this pill.

"You don't have much time left to live. Do you want to use this elixir to reach the later stage and increase your lifespan?"

Although the leap from the middle to the late stage of Hedao is only a small realm, it can also provide people with several thousand years of life.

"This alchemist is really old, but his alchemy skills are very impressive in the entire Five Elements Immortal Sect."

Wei Zhong shook his head. This time, the other party not only selected candidates from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, but also invited alchemists from outside the sect.

"You refine the Yin Dan yourself, and let others do the other six Dan for you? This kind of alchemy technique is really unheard of."

Wei Zhong shook his head slowly, returned to Zixiao Court and waited for half a year, then went to Tianfen Palace again and learned that both of them were selected.

"The reward for Master Sultan's alchemy has also been issued," Hou Yanbin said, and then handed Wei Zhong a jade slip, which recorded various rare spiritual objects.

There are spiritual materials, elixirs, and various magical instruments.

"these things……"

Wei Zhong looked hesitant, and Hou Yanbin explained:

"These are all the treasures of Senior Su..."

Needless to say, Wei Zhong understood the meaning. This great alchemist had spent all his fortune in order to refine the elixir.

'Are the alchemists in the Five Elements Immortal Sect living in such a difficult situation?

'Or has the other party already given everything he has to make the elixir today?'

Wei Zhong scanned the jade slip and finally fixed his sight on a set of silver armor.

"The Remnant Sky Void Thunder Armor? This thing is a hot commodity. Many of the alchemists who came to participate in the alchemy this time set their sights on this precious armor."

Wei Zhongwang obtained the description of armor in the jade slip.

This armor is not a general protective armor, but a lightning-proof armor for against thunder disasters.

Wearing this armor is enough to withstand the seventh-level heavenly thunder calamity without harming the cultivator's own body.

Such things are definitely hot commodities, but this Sultan Master actually took out such precious armor, which clearly shows that he has reached the end of his rope.

"Junior brother, you might as well take a look at other spiritual objects. If you find one that suits your taste, you can keep it as a backup. Don't let yourself be disappointed when the time comes."

Wei Zhong nodded slowly, and the two of them stepped into the teleportation array in the hall together. With a flash of light from the array, they found themselves in another hall with a completely different environment in the blink of an eye.

The Five Elements Immortal Sect's territory is vast, and the distance between the Muyuan Palace and the Tianfen Palace is even farther. There are various forbidden areas in between, so flying back and forth is very troublesome.

You also have to use the short-distance teleportation formation between the two palaces.

After arriving at the hall, Wei Zhong saw that outside the formation were disciples of the Muyuan Hall wearing green Taoist robes.

They were different from the Tianfen and Chiyang Palaces. In addition to the smell of sulfur and burning flames, their robes also had the fragrance of grass and trees.

This smell lingers on the other person's clothes and even on his body, lasting for a long time and being extremely difficult to get rid of.

Wei Zhong looked curious and looked around, while flying with Hou Yanbin.

The two came to a valley and then went deep into the ground.

Came to an underground alchemy room.

This place is not big, but there are more than ten alchemy rooms. The important thing is that these are all borrowed from the fire of the earth veins, the temperature is quite high, and there are temperature control arrays and even alchemy furnaces. This set of configurations alone is much higher than the alchemy furnace of an ordinary seventh-level alchemist.

After taking a look around the place, Wei Zhong and Hou Yanbin walked into the largest alchemy room, where they met the client of this alchemy, Su Mizhen, the elder of the Muyuan Hall of the Five Elements Sect.

Just as the information Wei Zhong had obtained, the other party was already very old, and even her revealed face was not concealed. She was a white-haired old woman.

Wearing a green robe, he was looking at everyone present with a smile.

"The last two Taoist friends have arrived. I will now explain the details of this alchemy..."

While listening to the other party's introduction, Wei Zhong looked at everyone in the hall.

In addition to himself, Hou Yanbin and Su Mizhen, there were four other alchemists present.

Three of them are from the Five Elements Immortal Sect. One is the master of Chunting Palace, Taoist Qiulin, and the other is the elder of Yang Palace, Taoist Wujun.

As for the last person, it is Bao Lechuan from the Earth Spirit Palace, a person who is proficient in both refining weapons and alchemy.

Wei Zhong's gaze shifted to the last person from the outer sect. Hou Yanbin knew that Wei Zhong was confused, so he explained through voice transmission:
"This is a casual cultivator, Master Ba Yuan. He has traveled to many regions and has a wide range of knowledge. It is said that his alchemy skills have reached the seventh-level upper level. The only thing he lacks to reach the eighth level is the right spiritual materials..."

Wei Zhong was surprised. He didn't expect that such a remarkable figure from outside the sect would appear here.

The other party seemed to have noticed Wei Zhong's gaze. He turned his head slightly and gave Wei Zhong a kind smile.

Wei Zhong nodded in response. It happened that Master Sudan had just finished explaining the brief details of this alchemy.

"Please choose the properties of the elixir you want to refine..."

Su Mizhen herself was refining Yin Dan, while Taoist Wu Jun from Yang Palace was refining Yang Dan, leaving only the five elements for everyone to choose from.

Wei Zhong glanced around at everyone. None of them spoke, lost in thought.

"Junior brother, do you want to refine the fire pill?" Hou Yanbin's voice came to my ears.

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:

“Brother comes from the Tianfen Palace, so he must be very good at fire magic. You don’t have to worry about me, just choose him.

"Junior brother, I have some insights into water magic..."

Hou Yanbin nodded upon hearing this and took the lead in selecting the Fire Pill among the Five Elements Pills.

Wei Zhong also chose Shui Dan.

The remaining wood pills were handed over to Taoist Qiulin, the earth pills were handed over to Bao Lechuan of the Earth Spirit Hall, and the last gold pill was taken by Ba Yuan.

After the distribution was completed, Su Mizhen threw jade slips to everyone.

Wei Zhong took the jade slip in his hand and probed with his spiritual sense, only to find out that it contained the method of refining water-type elixir.

"It seems that this Sudanese master is not as generous as my senior brother said, and he did not prepare a complete recipe for everyone."

However, this was also within Wei Zhong's expectations. He almost lost everything in the process of refining this pill. How could he possibly come up with seven pill recipes at once?

Shaking his head slightly, Wei Zhong read the jade slip and put it away after finishing reading it.

This pill is somewhat difficult to refine, but it is still within Wei Zhong's ability.

Wei Zhong is 70% sure he can succeed in refining it in one go.

The others also looked up at this time and nodded.

Seeing that everyone had no problem, Su Mizhen handed over the storage bag again.

This time, inside are the elixirs needed for refining.

"I have only prepared two spiritual materials for you this time. If you are not sure, you'd better withdraw. I can invite someone else. Don't make us unhappy later."

After hearing this, no one showed any strange look on their faces, and it was obvious that they were all confident in their alchemy skills.

This is Hou Yanbin's message falling into Wei Zhong's ears:

"Junior brother, are you sure?"

Wei Zhong considered:

"Brother, rest assured. I can refine it in one go with at least a 60% chance of success. Two portions of medicinal materials are more than enough."

Hou Yanbin's face showed a flash of surprise when he heard this. Wei Zhong didn't know that the latter's chance of success was only 60%.

But how many years has Hou Yanbin been refining the elixir? How many years has Wei Zhong been refining the elixir?

The gap between the two is the difference between ten thousand years of experience and a thousand years of experience.

"This junior fellow is really capable!"

After watching for a long time, no one wanted to quit, so Su Mizhen nodded slowly, and then she was about to officially start refining the elixir.

Unexpectedly, the master Ba Yuan suddenly said:
"I have already accepted the promise to refine the elixir. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su can let me choose the reward first?"

"This..." There was some hesitation in Su Mizhen's eyes, but seeing that other people in the hall had the same idea, she agreed immediately.

However, it was unknown what request Ba Yuan made in the voice transmission, which made Su Mizhen shake her head repeatedly.

"Impossible, Brother Ba is just refining a seventh-grade lower-grade elixir for me. Don't you think this request is a bit excessive?"

The other people in the field were all somewhat curious about the reward proposed by Ba Yuan.

However, the latter had no intention of exposing himself, but continued to transmit the message. It was unknown what he said, but it actually calmed Su Mizhen down.

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was considering the rationality of what the other person said.

The two communicated through voice transmission for a while, and actually reached an agreement.

"I hope Brother Daoist Ba won't break his promise!"

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Su."

Su Mizhen shifted her gaze to the other people present.

Wei Zhong hurriedly spoke up and specifically asked for the Cantianxu Lei Armor. As soon as he said this, two pairs of eyes were fixed on Wei Zhong.

One of them is Taoist Qiulin from Chunting Palace, and the other is Bao Lechuan from Diling Palace.

Both of them shared the same goal as Wei Zhong, which was this treasure that could protect against thunder.

Seeing that the three were about to argue about this, Su Mizhen held her forehead with her hand, regretting that she had put such a treasure in the list.

"Why don't you three take turns renting it?"

Hearing this, Taoist Qiulin immediately shook his head:

"No, this Thunder Armor has been used many times by Fellow Daoist Su, and the extent of the damage inside is still unknown. I don't know how many more thunder tribulations it can withstand. How can multiple people take turns using it?"

Bao Lechuan also echoed:
"That's right, that's right. This Cantian Void Thunder Armor is a consumable item. It's unknown when it will be scrapped...

"In my opinion, my friend Wu Se, your cultivation is only at the level of Refining Void, so your need for this item is not that great. You might as well give it to the two of us."

"Bao Daya, what do you mean by that? Are you bullying my junior brother because he has a lower level of cultivation? Even if I don't exchange for anything else today, I will take this Remnant Sky Void Thunder Armor..."

Seeing that this man dared to suppress Wei Zhong with his cultivation, Hou Yanbin quickly spoke up and called the latter by his nickname, which made the other party's face turn red with anger.

"Brother, please don't be angry!"

Wei Zhong turned to look at the other two and bowed:

“My junior’s minor heavenly tribulation is about to come, and I urgently need this item to deal with it.

“The calamity is of the sixth order, which will do the least damage to the armor. The two seniors may let me take over.

"Use it first?"
