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

Chapter 411: Superb alchemy skills, multitasking

"A method to induce calamity?"

Le Xinghai gave instructions to Yu Xinyi beside him, who immediately took out a jade slip from her storage bag.

Wei Zhong reached out to take it, and with a quick exploration of its contents with his spiritual sense, he understood most of it.

'This method does not seem to be useless.'

Wei Zhong took out a few golden-red sixth-level dragon blood pills from his storage bag and placed them in front of him.

"I made this myself, maybe it will have some effect on Brother Le's injury."

"Thank you very much. Brother Wu Se, please take this jade slip. It is my thank you gift for your elixir."

Wei Zhong nodded, accepted it, and chatted with Le Xinghai about the past.

Because the spirit boat was about to depart, they didn't chat for long before saying goodbye and leaving.

On the return journey, Wei Zhong was holding the jade slip.

“The method of inducing catastrophe is not only for the small heavenly tribulation of Lianxu Hedao, but can also induce the nine catastrophes of Mahayana.

"Once the nine tribulations are over, one will ascend to the immortal realm instantly."

Wei Zhong returned to Shuiyun Hall and saw a large number of monks boarding the boat. Wei Zhong found Qin Zhihui and others and boarded the Shuiyun boat together.

As the boat was fully staffed, Fang Jingwan waved her sleeves:

"Let's go!"

The spirit boat's tail wing spewed out mist, and the entire spirit boat rushed up into the sea of ​​clouds, turning into a white line that moved away from the Five Elements Immortal Sect.

Wei Zhong looked at the scenery passing by behind him, and a sense of déjà vu came over him.

'Time flies by so fast.'

Wei Zhong has only been a member of the Five Elements Immortal Sect for over two thousand years, and he has spent most of this time in seclusion, so it feels like time has passed a lot faster.

At this time, when his cultivation level was almost close to that of the Dao, he hurried to Tianyin Leishan to look for thunder power.

"There are only about two thousand years until the next minor catastrophe, so we must seize the opportunity."

Wei Zhong recalled Le Xinghai's miserable appearance. When he was about to go through this minor calamity, he was afraid that the consequences would be much more miserable than that of the other party.

Wei Zhong's eyes moved, unconsciously towards the west, muttering:

"Sui Chan Men, Time Fairy Palace..."

Just as Wei Zhong was deep in thought, a voice of encouragement came from not far away:
"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, Master invites you!"

Wei Zhong turned around and saw it was Qin Zhihui. She came in front of Wei Zhong, bowed to him and said.

"Fairy Qin, lead the way!"

Wei Zhong followed the other party's instructions and went deep into the spirit cabin of the Shuiyun Boat.

Passing through the spirit cabins of various sizes, Qin Zhihui led Wei Zhong into one of them.

Wei Zhong saw the layout around him and was secretly surprised that there was such an alchemy room on the Shuiyun Boat.

At the end of the alchemy room, Wei Zhong saw Fang Jingwan who had been waiting there for a long time, and Bao Lechuan beside her.

"Uncle Fang!"

Fang Jing nodded gently and explained the invitation to Wei Zhong.

"Alchemy?"

This time the Shuiyun Boat was traveling not only to transport monks, but also as a caravan's responsibility.

One of the purposes is to sell the immortal sect's unique elixir in exchange for resources for cultivation.

These elixirs should have been prepared several years ago.

But as the matter turned out, less than 30% of the supplies were ready.

The remaining part is still just elixir and has not been refined into a finished elixir.

So there was a seventh-level alchemist named Bao Lechuan on this spirit boat.

Although the other party's level in refining seventh-level elixirs is not very good, he has some skills in refining low-level elixirs.

“This time, I’d like to entrust you two to help me finish refining the remaining elixirs.

"The sect has already paid Fellow Daoist Bao's reward. If you, Wu Se, need any reward, just let me know. As long as it's not excessive, I can satisfy you."

Wei Zhong thought for a while, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Fang Jingwan.

The latter saw the contents and showed a hint of surprise, then replied:
"No problem. I will help you collect the items along the way."

"Thank you, uncle!"

What was recorded in Wei Zhong's jade slip was exactly the elixir needed to refine the Seven-Star Mysterious Life Pill.

Among them, the seven main ingredients are the most precious, and even within the Five Elements Immortal Sect there is no news about them.

Wei Zhong guessed that he had been taken into the hands of those Hedao monks.

I had no choice but to try to collect a few during this Shuiyun Boat voyage. I wanted to do it myself, but I didn't expect Fang Jingwan to pass the opportunity to Wei Zhong.

If you don't seize this opportunity, there will never be another one.

The jade slip was accepted by the other party, and when Fang Jingwan clapped her hands, several monks from the Shuiyun Palace wearing light blue robes came into the alchemy room.

"These people are our sect's alchemists, helping you two fellow Taoists."

Several people looked excited. They came here not only to serve as free labor, but also to learn something from Wei Zhong and the others.

The words of the seventh-level alchemist were undoubtedly an enlightenment for these low-level alchemists.

After handing a few people over to Wei Zhong and the other two, Fang Jingwan left.

Wei Zhong turned his head and looked at Bao Lechuan:

"Elder Bao, can you and I divide the work of refining?"

Although Bao Lechuan has a bad relationship with Wei Zhong, the other party has accepted the sect's mission and will be punished if he fails to complete the task of refining the elixir.

It is always better to have another "Five Colors" to help than for one person to work alone.

"random!"

With the help of the disciples of Shuiyun Palace, the two divided all the elixir tasks in half.

Similarly, the ten disciples in the field were divided equally between the two.

Inside the alchemy room, Wei Zhong held the jade slip in his hand and was dazzled for a moment by the dazzling array of elixirs inside.

"so much?"

Seeing Wei Zhong's surprised expression, a female disciple beside him immediately said:
"Master Wu Se, are you sure?"

Wei Zhong looked up and glanced at the other person. This person was the most skilled among the group of alchemists.

'Shi Shanshan, a sixth-rank alchemist, seems to be from the Shi clan of Shuiyun Palace.

'For a family that only has a sixth-rank alchemist at most, it is inevitable that they will be proud of having such a young alchemist.'

The other four all looked hungry, but this man was the only one who looked at Wei Zhong with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

“Of course there is.

“Fairy Shi is a sixth-rank alchemist at such a young age, so she should have no problem refining fourth- and fifth-rank elixirs.

"In that case, the task of refining these elixirs will be handed over to Fairy Shi."

Wei Zhong roughly assigned some of the elixir tasks in the jade slip to the other party.

The latter looked shocked, as if he was unable to react to Wei Zhong's actions.

Wei Zhong frowned:

"Why, no? These are the elixirs commonly used in the sect. Does Fairy Shi not have any confidence?"

The latter took the jade slip and looked up and said:

"Of course there is no problem."

Taking the jade slip, he selected the elixir according to the recipe.

Although he looked relaxed, he was actually extremely depressed.

The other party was confident that he could refine these elixirs, but the problem was that there were too many of them.

With so many elixirs to make, I wonder how long it will take to refine them.

This time, she came to "learn from the masters" instead of being an alchemy machine. She thought Wei Zhong would show some favoritism to her because of her pretty face, but unexpectedly...

On the other side, Wei Zhong instructed four people to take out some elixirs, take out the alchemy furnace and start refining them.

"Let's start with the most urgent kinds of elixirs." Wei Zhong naturally understood the purpose of Fang Jingwan sending these people here, so he simply did them a favor and cultivated them well.

The fire in the furnace was lit, and Wei Zhong threw the spiritual herbs into the furnace one by one without closing the lid, leaving them exposed to the eyes of the four people.

Demonstrate his own method of refining spiritual fluid and explain it at the same time.

Bao Lechuan snorted when he saw Wei Zhong like this.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so he doesn't have the time to teach these people.

"You two choose the spiritual medicine, and you two control the spiritual formation below..."

Wei Zhong glanced over and saw that Bao Lechuan had already activated the furnace and the attached spiritual formation in the alchemy room.

These things can indeed assist alchemists in making elixirs, and can even help multiple people collaborate.

But Wei Zhong was used to fighting alone and was not used to these.

He glanced at it and ignored it. While explaining the essentials of alchemy to the four people around him, he continued to make alchemy without stopping. One after another, sixth-level elixirs appeared in Wei Zhong's hands.

Wei Zhong's proficiency on the panel also continued to increase with the increase in the number of elixirs he refined.

[Seventh-level Alchemy·Proficient (99%)]

[Seventh-level Alchemy: Mastery (1%)]

……

There were too many elixirs that he refined. Even though their grade was not up to the seventh grade, the large quantity made up for the quality disadvantage, and Wei Zhong's proficiency in alchemy increased steadily.

Wei Zhong explained it easily and refined it effortlessly.

The people around him were shocked, because Wei Zhong was refining the elixir while teaching. The success rate of refining the sixth-level elixir was as high as 80%, and the failure rate of the fifth-level elixir was even rarer.

Such a terrifying success rate in alchemy is something few people have ever heard of.

Even Shi Shanshan, who was sent away by Wei Zhong, was attracted by this scene.

Although he has the level of a sixth-rank alchemist, his success rate in refining these elixirs is not even half of Wei Zhong's.

After listening to Wei Zhong's explanation, his face was full of surprise, as if he had understood something.

Wei Zhong naturally noticed that this person was slacking off and approaching, but he did not intend to drive him away.

Just hitting him once or twice will be enough; targeting him specifically is not Wei Zhong's intention.

In this way, over the past few days, Wei Zhong was surrounded by bottles of elixirs, all of which were fifth- and sixth-grade elixirs, which were the most scarce items for Shui Yunzhou's trip.

The large number even shocked Bao Lechuan on the other side.

"This guy, doesn't he need to rest?"

During these few days, Wei Zhong was like a tireless alchemy machine. The fire in front of him never went out, and his hands never stopped moving.

He just kept refining elixirs, refining elixirs, and refining elixirs.

This kind of high-intensity and delicate work made the five people around him feel a little tired after watching it.

But he didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of missing any word from Wei Zhong.

When you are too tired, you can only take some elixirs to boost your spirits.

During the teaching process, the fire in Wei Zhong's hand suddenly dimmed, and a spiritual medicine collapsed inside the furnace.

"Okay, let's take a break first!"

Hearing Wei Zhong's words, the five people's tense nerves immediately relaxed.

Mental fatigue forced several people to close their eyes and sit cross-legged to meditate and recuperate.

Wei Zhong looked at Shi Shanshan and said teasingly:
"How come you have completed all the alchemy tasks I assigned you?"

The latter blushed, and then bowed to Wei Zhong:

"Shanshan is so domineering, please punish her, Master Wu Se!"

Wei Zhong saw the latter's reaction and nodded secretly.

He waved his sleeves and a gust of wind lifted him up:
"There's no need to punish you. Just take a good rest. There will be more tiring things waiting for you later."

He looked up at Wei Zhong with a grateful expression:

"Yes!"

After saying that, he found a corner nearby, sat cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.

Wei Zhong rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Bao Lechuan not far away.

The other side's six people working together could not even refine as many elixirs as Wei Zhong alone, and their success rate was far from comparable.

"Elder Bao, do you need my help?"

Bao Lechuan's face turned red:
"No need, Fellow Daoist Wu Se, just take care of yourself. I can handle it..."

Before he could finish his words, a muffled sound came from the huge furnace beside him.

"The furnace exploded!"

The Shuiyun Temple disciple standing by the furnace looked pale, knowing that the explosion was entirely due to his own improper operation.

I thought I would be punished by Bao Lechuan, but unexpectedly the latter seemed a little dejected.

He waved his hand, asking everyone to rest first, while he went to clean the alchemy furnace.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong did not continue to provoke this person.

He turned around and looked at the pill bottles on the ground. According to the jade slips provided by Fang Jingwan, he sorted them into different categories and put them into a storage bag.

After several hours, Shi Shanshan and others recovered.

Wei Zhong clapped his hands and ordered everyone to take out the alchemy furnace:
"It's your turn to make the elixir this time."

Each person was assigned a portion of the task of refining low-level elixirs. Wei Zhong watched everyone start refining the elixirs without stopping his own actions. He selected a few elixirs with simple processes and started refining them.

While refining the elixir, he also locked his spiritual sense on the five people's cauldrons, and would give instructions whenever he encountered any mistakes or omissions.

This situation is almost the same as hands-on teaching.

This kind of opportunity is even more valuable to them than the lecture just now.

They all concentrated their attention on the fire in their hands.

When one of them looked up after successfully refining the elixir, he found that Wei Zhong's palm was turned over, and there was a large cauldron in front of him. Flames were rising in the cauldron, and the hissing sound of the extraction of elixirs could be heard from it.

He could not help but feel horrified:
'How useful is this distraction?'

"Don't stop, keep practicing."

Hearing Wei Zhong's urging, he hurriedly started the furnace again.

After the other people finished refining the elixir, they also discovered this situation and were shocked.

……

Needless to say, Bao Lechuan on the other side was greatly surprised at Wei Zhong's ability to multitask.

Even if one's cultivation has reached the level of harmony with the Tao, it is still difficult to reach this level.

When refining pills, what is the difference between teaching five other people at the same time and refining six furnaces of pills at the same time? What's more terrible is that these are six different furnaces of pills.

Such a scene completely refreshed Bao Lechuan's cognition.

"This five-color alchemist is valued by Senior Feng. He is indeed a capable person."

At this time, Bao Lechuan no longer wanted to argue with Wei Zhong.

If he can’t win in terms of alchemy, he might not be able to win in terms of cultivation in the future.

Instead of fighting, it is better to do your own thing.

Looking back at the alchemy furnace, the muffled sound from the furnace reappeared, causing his face to darken:
"Focus!"

"Yes!"

About half a month passed, and one day, the stone door of the alchemy room opened wide.

Fang Jingwan and Qin Zhihui came to collect elixirs and saw the strange sight inside.

Shi Shanshan and others were extremely respectful and immersed in refining the elixir, and were even unwilling to take a rest.

On the other side, the five people led by Bao Lechuan were covered in dust and looked dejected.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, take a look at this elixir. It is what you need."

Wei Zhong stood up upon hearing the sound, took the flying storage bag, and used his spiritual sense to explore...
