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

Chapter 407: Sui Chan Men, Dan Guardian Method

After hearing Wei Zhong's words, both of them fell into a brief silence, and then, for some unknown reason, they once again sternly refused.

As they were entangled, Nappahara said:

"Since the three Daoists are eager to get it, why don't you compete for this Cantianxu Thunder Armor based on the order in which the sub-pills are refined?"

As soon as these words came out, Su Mizhen's eyes lit up.

Wei Zhong saw Bao Lechuan and Taoist Qiulin look at each other and both nodded slowly.

The two were particularly confident in their alchemy skills and believed that they would not lose to the other two.

"My friend Wu Se, what are your intentions?"

Wei Zhong also nodded.

They are confident, so why isn't Wei Zhong confident?

The competition method for the Cantianxulei Armor was finalized. Except for these three people, the others present chose what they needed.

Wei Zhong saw Hou Yanbin was a little hesitant, so he sent a message:
"Brother, take whatever you like. I'm sure you'll get the Thunder Armor."

The other party obviously wanted to join the competition among the three.

Only after hearing Wei Zhong's words of comfort did he turn his attention back to the jade slip.

After the rewards were chosen, the seven people took the elixirs and walked into the alchemy rooms.

As soon as he entered the alchemy room, Wei Zhong experimented with the exquisite alchemy equipment inside.

"This thing is good, but I have my own things."

After saying that, the alchemy furnace flew out from Wei Zhong's sleeve, and the flame transformed by the Five Elements Dingzhen Technique rose at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

Wei Zhong took out spiritual medicine one by one from the storage bag and put them into the alchemy furnace.

Flames of different temperatures wrapped it up and extracted it into balls of spiritual liquid of different colors.

Due to its grade, the difficulty of refining the water-attributed sub-pill of the Seven-Star Mysterious Life Pill is not high.

Wei Zhong even felt that the latter was much simpler than the so-called Tianfenling Zhendan.

Wei Zhong threw spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one, and the spiritual liquid in the furnace continued to increase and gather.

After a while, the prototype of an elixir appeared in the center of the spiritual liquid.

As Wei Zhong's fingers moved, one seal after another was thrown into the furnace. At the same time, flames rose and the temperature increased sharply.

Under the scorching heat, the spiritual liquid shrank, and the purest medicinal power within it all gathered into the prototype of the pill.

……

After a while, an indigo-colored pill was formed in the furnace.

Wei Zhong sensed the latter's power and nodded slowly:
"Seventh level, no mistake!"

Then comes the most important part of refining the elixir: sealing.

The seventh-level sub-pill cannot pass the pill tribulation, otherwise it will no longer be able to participate in the fusion of the pills, and the refining of the Seven-Star Xuansheng Pill will fail.

According to the records in the jade slip, Wei Zhong's immortal power surged into the palm of his hand. Strange runes were outlined one after another, covering the water-type elixir.

At the same time, above the mountain where everyone was, black clouds of disaster condensed and dispersed repeatedly.

Only after the spell was completed did Wei Zhong slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

Staring at the purple pattern on the blue elixir:
"According to the description on the jade slip, this method can only seal for ten hours at most. Once the time is up, this method will be lifted. The calamity cloud will be unstoppable and will descend.

"I have finished refining the elixir, I wonder how many others there are?"

Wei Zhong was thinking and walked out of the alchemy room when he suddenly heard a muffled rumbling sound coming from a room not far away.

"The furnace exploded?"

Wei Zhong looked carefully and saw that it was the alchemy room where Master Bao Dan was.

"Every profession has its specialties. It seems that this Earth Spirit Pill Master is not good at this."

Wei Zhong walked towards the main hall, and was greeted by the figure of Alchemist Ba Yuan.

He bowed to Wei Zhong, then walked past Wei Zhong and entered the room where Bao Lechuan was.

After a while, Bao Lechuan's unwilling argument was heard in the alchemy room.

Wei Zhong had a strange look on his face. When he entered the main hall, he found that two people were already waiting there. They were Taoist Wu Jun from Yang Hall and Su Mizhen from Muyuan Hall, the initiator of this joint elixir refining.

When they saw Wei Zhong coming, they were surprised.

"Young friend Wu Se's alchemy skills are truly amazing," Taoist Wu Jun stroked his white beard and exclaimed in admiration.

Wei Zhong bowed his hands in thanks:

"Thank you, senior."

With a wave of his hand, the purple and blue elixir flew from Wei Zhong's palm to Su Mizhen's hand:
"Senior Su, you have lived up to my trust!"

The latter captured it with an excited look on his face, then he took out a palm-sized mirror from his sleeve, injected his magic power into it, and shone the elixir on it.

Two traces that looked like dan patterns appeared on the mirror.

Wei Zhong was surprised. It was the first time he saw such a magical weapon that could determine the quality of elixirs.

Wu Jun seemed to have seen Wei Zhong's expression and smiled:
"The Pill Mirror is just a little trick. You don't have to be surprised. It is just a little more sensitive than cultivators like me. It can roughly measure the grade of the elixir. It is somewhat useful when refining the elixir. In other scenarios, it is useless."

What Wu Jun said was true. With the spiritual sense of a Void Refining cultivator, it was entirely possible to determine the grade of an elixir, but it was not precise enough.

For example, Wei Zhong could determine that the sub-pill he refined was of the seventh level, but he didn't know its quality or the specific number of elixir patterns.

In other alchemy scenarios, the quality of the elixir can be known by just one test during the thunder tribulation, and there is no need to go through so much trouble.

While Wei Zhong was thinking about it, Su Mizhen finally completed the verification, put the pill away, and looked up at Wei Zhong:

"Since you are the first to refine this pill, then this piece of Cantianxulei Armor will be yours."

He waved his hand and threw out a suit of silver thunder armor and a jade slip.

Silver lightning flashed in Wei Zhong's hand at the same time and he grabbed the armor in his palm. He looked at it and became more and more satisfied the more he looked at it.

After putting it into the storage bag, he looked at another jade slip, which recorded the method of refining the Alchemy Mirror.

This "buy one get one free" offer greatly increased Wei Zhong's favorability towards the Sudanese master.

Putting it into his sleeve, Wei Zhong bowed:
"Thank you, Senior Su."

The latter smiled, the wrinkles on his forehead squeezed together, and waved his hand casually:

"You're welcome. My friend's alchemy skills are extraordinary. I'm afraid that in the future, the alchemy cause of my Five Elements Immortal Sect will be handed over to you...

"Junior Brother Feng has a keen eye. He was right to choose me."

This Master Sultan is of the same generation as Yun Fengyao, and he is even one of the few people in the sect who can call him junior fellow.

The three of them talked for a while before Hou Yanbin finally arrived.

Seeing that Wei Zhong and the other two were having a pleasant conversation, he also realized that Wei Zhong had already completed refining the elixir before him.

After delivering the pills and getting paid, he looked at Wei Zhong:

"Junior brother's methods are indeed extraordinary!"

Wei Zhong said modestly:

"Lucky lucky..."

After waiting for an hour, Taoist Qiulin walked into the room. Seeing Wei Zhong here, he was stunned and immediately realized that he had lost.

He bowed and handed the elixir to Master Sultan, and selected a seventh-level spiritual herb from the remaining spiritual objects that everyone had selected.

Wu Jun murmured:
"Four more hours!"

This refers to the remaining time. The elixir seal can only last for ten hours.

Wu Jun and Su Mizhen were the first to complete the refining of the elixir, and six hours had passed.

If the last earth-type elixir is not completed in the remaining time, this elixir-refining attempt will end in failure.

Qiulin glanced around the hall and saw that Ba Yuan and Bao Lechuan were not there. He could not help but look sarcastic and said a few words in a low voice.

Wei Zhong was far away, and because his senior brother was talking, he didn't hear clearly, but he guessed that he probably cursed the two of them together. Wu Jun looked at Qiu Lin and didn't say anything more.

Su Mizhen also looked calm and waited patiently.

More than two hours passed like this, and Ba Yuan and Bao Lechuan finally arrived.

The leader, Ba Yuan, looked normal, but Bao Lechuan, who followed behind him, had a dejected look on his face.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

He raised his hand and two elixirs flew out from Ba Yuan's sleeves and sank into Su Mizhen's palm.

The spirit mirror shook, and six elixir patterns flashed by.

These two sub-pills are actually top-grade among the lower grades.

Wei Zhong stared at the outsider Ba Yuan Danshi and muttered in his heart:
"This person's alchemy skills are indeed extraordinary."

On second thought, since the other party has the ability to be invited here by Su Mizhen, it must have shown the latter's ability.

"Now, does Fellow Daoist Su feel that my demands are too high?"

Su Mizhen shook her head slowly:
"Fellow Daoist, I will be able to fulfill your request after refining the elixir this time."

Then he turned his gaze towards Bao Lechuan at the back:

"Although Fellow Daoist Bao failed in refining the elixir, you can still choose a spiritual object from me..."

These remarks were of course meant to win over others. If an ordinary person was thick-skinned, he would naturally take this spiritual object.

But which alchemist present here doesn’t have arrogance?

Among the seven people sitting there, six succeeded in refining pills, and one even succeeded in refining two pills directly.

Bao Lechuan was the only one who failed, how could he have the nerve to ask for compensation?
It’s good enough that I didn’t have to compensate Su Mizhen for that batch of elixirs.

Shaking his head slightly:

"No merit, no reward. My skills are inferior to others, how can I be so shameless..."

After some excuses, he said goodbye to the people present and left.

Qiulin looked emotional.

Su Mizhen's words rang in my ears:

"Thank you all for your assistance this time. You will not be required to help in the next step of the pill-combining process.

"But if you are curious, you can watch from outside..."

Many people handed over the remaining elixirs and left the alchemy room.

However, the five people did not disperse, but gathered on the sacred peak outside the mountains and chatted with each other.

There are not many opportunities for so many high-level alchemists to gather together, so we should take this opportunity to communicate more and share experiences.

It was a real loss for Bao Lechuan to retreat so early.

The five people had a pleasant conversation, and Wei Zhong also learned about the origins of the alchemist Ba Yuan from his mouth.

He was born in the spiritual realm under the command of Tianyin Leishan, a northern Mahayana force. He traveled for many years, covering the east, west, south and north.

He is much more knowledgeable than anyone else present.

Hearing that Wei Zhong was planning to travel, Ba Yuan couldn't help but remind him:

"The guys in the Sui Chan Sect in the west are incredible. They are very domineering. The entire sect is like this. If you run into them, you must be careful."

"Sui Chan Sect, this sect's name is quite strange..."

Several people talked to each other and talked about this sect, and finally the four words "Time Fairy Palace" emerged.

“It is rumored that the Time Palace is a major force in the Immortal Realm, and it is even more powerful than our Five Elements Palace.

"The higher realms have instructed us not to offend unless it is absolutely necessary..."

What Wu Jun said made Wei Zhong's face slightly stiff.

Then Ba Yuan's words almost made Wei Zhong jump up.

"I heard that a thousand years ago, an immortal from Sui Chan Sect descended to the mortal world. I don't know what he was looking for. It's very strange..."

Wei Zhong quickly communicated with the "Time Treasure Record" and found Lei Long. Upon hearing this, the latter was surprised for a moment and added:
"It is most likely that they are the Immortal Palace Guards, but I am not sure whether they are coming for the master.

"But since he was able to descend to the realm, his strength is probably average, at the lowest level among the immortals..."

Wei Zhongyuan held the "Record of Time" in his hand and smiled bitterly:
"No matter how weak he is, he is still an immortal. How can I deal with him?"

Wei Zhong then asked about the Great Jin again, and Lei Long replied:
"Master, rest assured. Although this stupid fish is at a lower level, it will be able to help you cover up this first minor heavenly tribulation. As for the second one, or the heavenly tribulation that will lead to your advancement to the Dao, you will need to find a way..."

Wei Zhong felt a little relieved, but then fell into another kind of depression.

The threat this time is not just the strange thunder tribulation, but the immortals from the upper realm.

If Wei Zhong was undergoing tribulation in this world and triggered the abnormal thunder tribulation, the other party would most likely follow the clues and find Wei Zhong's location.

There is absolutely no chance of survival.

"Master, why don't you go directly to the demon world to survive the calamity?"

Wei Zhong was puzzled:

"Is it possible for the demon world to survive the tribulation without being discovered?"

The Thunder Dragon scratched his head with his claws:
“That’s not the case, but the rules of the demon world are somewhat special, so there should be some concealing effect.

"As for how strong this concealing effect is, I, Old Dragon, am not sure..."

Uncertain theories are not feasible in the face of life-and-death crises.

Wei Zhong never intended to joke about his own life.

Outsiders saw that Wei Zhong looked gloomy. Hou Yanbin shook Wei Zhong's shoulders:

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. No matter how overbearing the immortal who descended from the other world is, he won't dare to invade our Five Elements Immortal Sect. The tablet of our ancestor is hanging in the sect, and he can also descend from the other world..."

The other party was obviously not on the same wavelength as Wei Zhong, but Wei Zhong still pretended to thank him.

Everyone continued to talk about what they had seen and heard in his mansion. Not long after, dark clouds gathered in the sky and a thunder disaster was about to happen.

Wu Jun looked up suddenly:

"Friend Su is about to succeed!"

Following the latter's gaze, Wei Zhong saw that the thunder tribulation in the sky was obviously more severe than the ones he had experienced when he was refining the elixir.

"With such a powerful pill tribulation, could the number of heavenly thunders be less than six?"

There was a hint of gloom on Wu Jun's face, and he seemed to be worried about Su Mizhen.

"Buzz!"

The mountain formation opened up, and a man and a furnace flew out from below.

Su Mizhen cast several seals at the alchemy furnace, and the furnace body glowed with spiritual light, with fine runes covering its entire body.

Wei Zhong looked suspicious:

"Could it be that this alchemy furnace is used as a method to protect the elixir?"

Ba Yuan is well-informed and nodded slowly:
“I have seen this method of protecting the elixir in the north, but this method has some limitations and cannot be used on ordinary elixir furnaces.

"It must be the alchemist's natal alchemy furnace that has been with the alchemist for many years. This move is like cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron for the alchemist. No one dares to use it unless it is a matter of life and death. Master Sudan..."

The importance of the natal magic weapon to a cultivator is self-evident.

If this object is damaged, the monk will also suffer serious harm.

But not everyone has the ability of Wei Zhong's "Five Elements Bead" to continuously repair itself.

This alchemy furnace would be completely destroyed if it was blown up by the thunder.

"Is it really the end of the road?"

Wei Zhong looked solemn as he watched the movement of the thunder tribulation from afar.
