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

Chapter 413: Fire Ant Attack, Dragons Respond

Wei Zhong pushed the pill bottle into Duan Yu's arms.
"Elder Duan, take this first. If you encounter danger in that spiritual land, this elixir may be able to save your life."

Duan Yu was somewhat surprised by Wei Zhong's generosity. He took the pill bottle and said:
"Friend Wu Se, you trust me very much. Are you not worried that I will regret it after taking this thing?"

"Haha, I naturally trust Elder Duan's credibility."

After waiting for a few days on the Shuiyun Boat, Fang Jingwan and others finally completed the spiritual object exchange task and returned to the Shuiyun Boat.

There were also a large number of unfamiliar cultivators who took the spirit boat with them. These people were riding on the Shuiyun boat and were heading to the Tianyin Leishan area in the north.

Some are sect monks, some are independent cultivators, and their identities are different.

At the same time, many immortal sect monks left during these few days, and it seemed that their destination was the Fire Cloud Immortal City.

Going up and down, the number of people on the spirit boat did not change much, but there were many unfamiliar faces, which aroused the vigilance of the disciples of the Immortal Sect.

The Shuiyun Boat left Kangle Spirit Realm along the predetermined route.

Wei Zhong asked Fang Jingwan to allow him to stop over. After hearing this, the latter thought for a while and replied:
"Of course you can, but all the losses incurred by the Shuiyun Boat during its stay will be paid for by Young Master Wu Se."

Wei Zhong asked about the price and found out that it only took seventy or eighty top-grade spirit stones to open the protective shield of the spirit boat. He then took out a seventh-tier magic weapon to pay for it directly.

This is a seventh-level magic sword that Wei Zhong refined in his spare time. The raw materials are equivalent to about thirty top-grade spirit stones.

Compared to Wei Zhong's wealth, it is not worth mentioning.

Wei Zhong said goodbye and returned to the alchemy room to make the elixir.

Fang Jingwan looked at Duan Yu:
"Elder Duan is willing to listen to the boy's journey to the Fire Cloud Land."

“The Five-Color Alchemist offered a high price, and it is hard for me to refuse.

"There's more to it than just the Fire Cloud Land. There's also the Sun Spirit Land. I want to go take a look too."

Hearing this, Fang Jingwan's face became serious, and then she heard the latter continue:

"I also need to borrow a magic weapon from Palace Master Fang, the Lancang Star Sand Cover."

Fang Jingwan frowned, but still replied:

"Can!

"Elder Duan, please go and come back sooner rather than later, and don't delay the spiritual boat's journey."

"Yes, thank you Palace Master Fang for agreeing."

In the alchemy room, Wei Zhong sensed the sudden stop of the spirit boat, and he knew that the entire spirit boat had already penetrated deep into the heart of the fire cloud.

Duan Yu accepted his commission and it was time to set off.

Urging the five people around him to make elixirs, Wei Zhong left the cabin and came to the deck.

There were many cultivators wandering on the deck, including cultivators from the Immortal Sect as well as people from other sects who had boarded the boat halfway.

When these people saw the robe on Wei Zhong, they knew that Wei Zhong was of noble status.

With a vigilant mind, he subconsciously stayed away from Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong didn't care, but looked up at the sky.

Sure enough, countless fiery clouds were seen above the spirit boat.

This is not the red clouds presented by the sunset in the mortal world, but the real "fire clouds".

The cloud's appearance is just an illusion; the scorching heat inside is what kills people.

At this moment, the entire Shuiyun Boat was wrapped in such fire clouds.

The expanded spirit boat shield blocked all the fire clouds outside.

The flames collided with the spiritual light of the formation, making intermittent sizzling sounds.

When Wei Zhong saw the wonders of the Fire Cloud Land, an expression of interest emerged on his face.

He cast a spell to absorb several fire clouds, and after verifying them, he found that the grades of the fire clouds here varied greatly.

Some were at the lowest level of first-order fire cloud strength, some were at levels two or three, and some had skyrocketed to the level of levels five or six.

These fire clouds are mixed together and there is not much pattern in their distribution.

Floating in the Fire Cloud Spiritual Land, cultivators can only judge the strength of the fire cloud ahead in advance and then sneak carefully.

“It is indeed a dangerous place.”

Bao Lechuan's voice came from behind. The other party followed Wei Zhong and came to the deck of the spirit boat without him knowing.

Wei Zhong turned around and asked curiously:

"Has Elder Bao been here?"

The latter shook his head:

"No way, I have spent most of my life in the Immortal Sect and rarely go out, so how could I possibly come to such a dangerous place?"

Wei Zhong was stunned when he heard this.

"It's just that I often hear fellow Taoists talk about the mysteries of this place in the sect. Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary.

"With my strength, I'm afraid it would be difficult to pass through this fire cloud alone. It's really surprising to us that Fellow Daoist Duan dares to go out and explore alone."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhong.

As a Dan master, Bao Lechuan naturally understood the truth that money makes the world go round.

But he didn't know what price Wei Zhong paid to be so moved that even this elder of the Chiyang Palace, who was in the middle stage of Hedao, was moved.

Shaking his head slightly, he strolled on the deck for a while, checked the fire clouds above his head, and turned back after satisfying his curiosity.

Wei Zhong did not return to the alchemy room, but found a place on the deck to meditate and regulate his breathing.

It doesn't take a few days to refine the elixir, and the five people led by Professor Wei Zhong can share a lot of the pressure.

This is a good opportunity to relax.

After sitting cross-legged for three days, Wei Zhong saw many cultivators from the outside world passing by.

When these people saw the aura of the large formation of the Shuiyun Spirit Boat, they knew that there was a force here that should not be provoked, so they bypassed it early and did not even approach within a hundred feet of the spirit boat.

Wei Zhong spread out his spiritual sense and found that most of these people were wearing thick clothes. In addition to their robes, they also wore special raincoats that could insulate against heat and fire.

These raincoats are made of water-based spiritual materials and are easy to make and cheap.

It's not as good as a special fire-proof robe, but it can help this person resist several high-level fire clouds.

Relying on various protective measures and searching for spiritual objects in special locations in the Fire Cloud Land, this is the way of survival for most cultivators in the Fire Cloud Land.

"It seems that it is not much different from the monks around the Nether Abyss."

Wei Zhong looked around curiously, but because the Shuiyun Lingzhou was too conspicuous, he did not encounter the kind of robbery and murder incident that he encountered when he went out alone a few days ago, which made Wei Zhong feel extremely bored.

After three days, Fang Jingwan walked out of the spirit boat.

"Uncle Fang!" Wei Zhong stood up and bowed.

The latter waved his sleeves and looked towards the east, as if something there was attracting his attention.

He glanced at Wei Zhong and said:
"Friend Duan is in trouble!"

Wei Zhong was stunned, wondering how the latter knew this.

However, Fang Jingwan's response did not seem fake.

He called Bao Lechuan and asked him to provide enough mana for Shuiyunzhou, and then handed the control token of the protective formation to Wei Zhong:
"Before the two of us return, you must hold on to the spirit boat and do not activate the protective magic circle."

Wei Zhong nodded heavily to show that he understood.

Then, in the eyes of Wei Zhong and others, it turned into a blue stream of light and fled to the east.

Wherever his figure passed, the red clouds seemed to be frozen and turned into indigo. Wei Zhong was shocked when he saw this:

'This Palace Master Fang, one of the Nine Venerables, is indeed ridiculously strong.'

The invisible impact on the surrounding environment alone is not something that an ordinary person can do.

'If we ask this person to take action, whether it is the fire spiritual object or the yang treasure, it is a sure thing.

'It's a pity that I can't afford the price.'

The six-patterned elixir could impress a mid-stage Hedao cultivator like Duan Yu, but it was far from enough for the other party Jing Wan, who was at the peak of Hedao.

The gap between the two cannot be made up by adding a few more seventh-level elixirs.

With the departure of Fang Jingwan, the atmosphere of the entire Shuiyun Boat became solemn, as if the cultivators on the spiritual boat found it difficult to remain calm because of the loss of this backbone.

Upon seeing this, Bao Lechuan sighed and ordered the surrounding immortal sect disciples to take the outer sect monks back to the cabin.

After a while, Qin Zhihui walked out from the bottom of the cabin, and the dark red blood on her blue robe was very conspicuous.

Wei Zhong was puzzled, and the latter explained:

"We killed several people who were the leaders of the riot. The situation down there has stabilized now."

Qin Zhihui raised her head and looked towards the east:
"Did the master leave any message?"

Wei Zhong and the other two shook their heads.
"I just heard that Elder Duan was in trouble, but I don't have any other clues."

"..."

After a fruitless discussion among the crowd, Qin Zhihui had no choice but to return to the cabin and continue suppressing the outer sect cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Wu Se?"

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:

"Don't worry, Elder Bao. With Master Fang's strength, he can easily kill everyone in Fire Cloud Spirit Land. Don't worry."

Those who fought between Tianyin Leishan and the Five Elements Immortal Sect for the True Essence of the Sun had cultivation levels similar to Fang Jingwan.

Such cultivators who have achieved perfect harmony with the Dao can truly walk sideways in this fire cloud and even in the solar spiritual land that has not yet erupted.

Rather than worrying about the other party's danger, Wei Zhong was more worried about whether the Shuiyun Boat he was on would be attacked by the robbers.

As he was thinking about this, Wei Zhong's hand holding the token suddenly felt hot.

"No, someone is playing tricks!

The spiritual light of the formation surrounding the entire spirit boat flickered, as if it was about to go out due to over-consumption.

Bao Lechuan hurriedly walked to the core of the spiritual pattern on the deck and infused his own magic power into it.

At the same time, inside the cabin, the monks guarding the spirit boat's furnace also noticed something unusual and threw a large amount of spirit stones into the furnace. Sufficient spiritual energy was immediately supplied to the entire spirit boat.

Wei Zhong looked up and saw that the aura of the formation had stabilized again.

However, the consumption rate has not decreased at all.

After flying up, Wei Zhong discovered that the "fire clouds" around the Shuiyun Boat had increased in number without him noticing.

One after another, they hit the spirit boat's protective aura, causing the latter to be consumed greatly.

Wei Zhong swept his spiritual sense and condensed his magic power into a big hand, which crushed the fire cloud outside.

When I caught it in front of me, I saw several red fire ants in my palm.

These fire ants are as big as human teeth, with hideous bodies and wings on their backs. At first glance, they are some kind of living creatures.

Wei Zhong sneered and looked up, waving his sleeves, and a spirit beast bag appeared in his hand. The bag opened, and a strange head that was half dragon and half bird immediately stretched out from it.

Its eyes were red, and there were red flames floating on its eyebrows and even forehead.

"Golden Flame Dragon!"

This is exactly the sixth-order golden flame dragon that Wei Zhong captured in the demon world.

Wei Zhong opened a space channel inside the spirit beast's bag. The other party followed Wei Zhong's orders and followed the channel to come to this world.

The Golden Flame Dragon first poked out its head, then its torso, wings... and even its entire body.

The might of the late sixth stage dragon demon radiated from there, causing the fire clouds to tremble.

The appearance of this demon dragon made the monks who were ambushing in secret tremble for a moment:
"Where did this fire demon dragon come from? Is there a cultivator who is good at taming beasts on this Shuiyun Boat?"

But this is not the end yet. Another demon dragon's skull emerged from the spirit beast bag. This time it was a fifth-level demon dragon.

After it flew out of the spirit beast bag, the demon dragon's head appeared again in the bag.

One after another, they jumped out, and hundreds of demon dragons filled the sky around the Shuiyun Boat.

Golden-red flames rose from the bodies of these dragon monsters. Compared to this so-called fire cloud land, they looked more like fire clouds.

Bao Lechuan on the deck was so shocked by Wei Zhong's move that he was speechless.

I can’t figure out where Wei Zhong got these fire dragons.

It doesn't matter if the explanation is not clear. With Wei Zhong's current status in the Immortal Sect, which cultivator would dare to question the source of Wei Zhong's methods?

Exposing a group of dragon monsters was nothing. When the cultivators saw them, they might even praise Wei Zhong for not only his extraordinary alchemy skills but also his extraordinary ability in taming beasts.

Wei Zhong looked at a group of golden flame dragons in the air and threw the fire ants in his hand up:

"Find all these little ants, and find the enemy in the dark."

Upon receiving Wei Zhong's call, the huge group of golden flame dragons immediately took action, spreading out in all directions with the Shuiyun Boat as the center.

The fire clouds were dispersed by the Golden Flame Dragon, and the fire ants in them were picked up by the Golden Flame Dragon like snacks and swallowed into its mouth.

Just like a chick pecking at rice, in the blink of an eye, the fire cloud outside the Water Cloud Boat was quickly cleared.

The pressure on the spiritual power supply of the spirit boat decreased, and the protective magic circle regained stability.

Far away from the Shuiyun Boat, a red-robed monk felt his fire ants losing their breath one by one, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Looking up, I saw the dancing "fire clouds" in the sky, so gloomy that they seemed to be dripping with water:
"As expected of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, they are truly capable of keeping so many fire dragons in captivity without worrying about counterattacks from the dragon monsters in the north."

Facing the huge demon dragon, the tiny fire ants had no chance of winning.

Seeing that his insect-controlling technique had been cracked, this person decided to stop.

Originally, he just happened to pass by and happened to see two Hedao masters leaving on the Shuiyun Boat, which made him have evil thoughts.

Use some tricks to test the waters.

If you succeed, you can make a lot of money. If you fail, it’s okay to just leave.

It doesn't matter if a few fire ants die, but as long as there is a mother ant around, they can be nurtured in this Fire Cloud Spiritual Land and become a large army again.

After cutting off contact with those "abandoned" people, Gong Kang turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, after he retreated only a few dozen steps, a blue light flew from the sky, landed on his head, and then spread out.

Grains of blue star sand are scattered throughout the fire cloud, like a galaxy.

"You are here, fellow Taoist, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

A woman's voice came from the horizon, causing Gongkang's face to change drastically.

He waved his sleeves and threw out a swarm of black and red fire ants, which flew towards the star sand above his head, while speaking in panic:
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I was just passing by..."

A red light descended from the Shuiyun Boat, and the group of monsters above were amazed:

"I didn't expect that little friend Wu Se has such a skill."
