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

Chapter 489: Immortal Jade Exchange, Start Working

"You are right, my Yunlai Baiwufang is the most trustworthy place in Jinhai City. It is right for you to come to my place..."

The shopkeeper in this shop started talking about his shop nonstop, with an expression of pride on his face.

"Your Highness is actually a force outside the city?"

"That's right. After all, this small Jinke City has only a few resources and it's hard to make any money. My Yunlai Baiwufang is based in the central city of Hun Tian Xianyu, absorbing treasures from all directions...

"This place is just a branch, and I am honored to be the manager."

After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, it seems that the Yunlai Baiwu Shop is also a powerful force with considerable strength. There are many Xuanxian in the shop, and Wei Zhong doesn't know whether there are higher-level existences.

"The bones of the void creature in Daoyou's hand, the older they are, the more energy they absorb from the void, and they are the most suitable raw materials for making space teleportation arrays."

"I see."

Only then did Wei Zhong understand why so many people would hunt void creatures.

“Not only that, the membranes and muscles of these strange creatures are all very useful.

"Making armor can temporarily resist damage from void cracks, and can also evade various spells and even low-level immortal spells..."

Wei Zhong handed the bone to the other party and asked:
"I wonder if your shop can accept top-grade spirit stones in exchange for immortal jade?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded:

"Of course I accept it, but Fellow Daoist Wei should understand that fairy jade is rare and top-grade spirit stones cannot compare to it, so the exchange ratio..."

From the latter's words, Wei Zhong realized that it would take three thousand top-grade spirit stones to exchange for one fairy jade.

Compared with the hundred-fold exchange of spirit stones, the increase is dozens of times.

“This price is not cheap.”

Wei Zhong did have tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones in his hands, which could be exchanged for a dozen Qingling fairy jades, but such behavior was a bit too conspicuous.

"I want to see some magic."

"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment!"

After a while, Shopkeeper Wang returned with a few jade slips.

"The Art of Eclipse Moon and Swallowing Stars. Practicing this method can condense a special spiritual object called Taiyin Moon Dew. This object has a good destructive power on immortal energy and is a treasure for immortal-level fighting.

"At the same time, if this method is cultivated to a high level, it can touch upon the way of gravity..."

"'Lotus Growing from Ashes', this method is not of the fire element, but of the way of karmic fire. If it is cultivated to a high level, it can touch the way of cause and effect. The condensed lotus seeds of calamity fire can even burn cause and effect..."

"..."

Shopkeeper Wang took out a total of six magic methods. Although the number was not large, the descriptions in them were particularly eye-catching. Without exception, they were all techniques that touched upon the power of the law.

Wei Zhong thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head:

"Does Brother Wang have the Thunder Body Forging Technique?"

The latter was stunned:
"Your request is a little rare. This branch does not have it. You can ask the main branch for a few questions. I will give you a reply in three months."

"Thank you very much," after taking two Qingling fairy jades and top-grade spirit stones, Wei Zhong did not exchange them for the fairy jades immediately, but left.

'The Zhoutian Leigong has reached its limit. There is no immortal-level cultivation method, and one can only practice slowly by absorbing immortal qi.

'The spiritual practice method is still at the refining stage, so the immortal level practice method is not urgent.

'The most urgent task now is to raise the spiritual cultivation realm to the immortal level, and at the same time obtain the lightning body refining immortal method, use the lightning dao seeds as soon as possible, condense the law field, and step into the realm of Xuanxian.'

On the way back to his residence, Wei Zhong saw a surge of people in the market town, and it seemed that there were more monks than when he came here.

After asking around at one or two stalls, I learned that the void tide would arrive soon, and many void creatures would attack the Cinder City.

The major gangs are trying to recruit people at this time in order to earn resources during this tide.

"You look unfamiliar, is this your first time in this city? Why not join my team..."

Even the immortals have formed a team in the market town. Wei Zhong feels that this void tide is not simple.

"I have already made arrangements..."

After rejecting many invitations, Wei Zhong returned to his small apartment and continued his practice.

Adhering to a cautious attitude, he wanted to see what was so strange about this void tide.

After several months, Wei Zhong used four Qingling fairy jades to exchange for a book called "The Mysterious Chapter of the Heavenly Thunder Pivot" from Yunlai Shop.

This method is not some profound immortal method, and even its levels are incomplete, merely covering the realms of scattered immortals, true immortals, and mysterious immortals.

There is no subsequent content.

"Such an incomplete method, no wonder it is only worth four immortal jades."

Wei Zhong gave away the four Qingling fairy jades that he had just warmed up not long ago, which made Ling Zhi shake his head helplessly.

"Jinhai City will collect debts once every hundred years. Before that, consider exchanging for immortal jade. The most important thing for now is cultivation."

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, the contents of "The Mysterious Chapter of Heaven-Devouring Thunder" sounded in Wei Zhong's mind. He slowly mobilized the purple-gold thunder in his body and gathered it on the three fingers above his lower abdomen.

This place is where the Thunder Hub recorded in the exercises is located. It is used to condense the foundation of thunder, and then by using the immortal body to absorb the power of thunder, the embryonic form of the domain can be created, in which thunder gathers more and more until the true domain of law is formed.

“It is a very domineering method, and it also requires extremely high physical strength from the cultivator.

“Fortunately, I am practicing the Zhou Tian Thunder Power, and all the orifices around my body can be wrapped in thunder. I am like a human thunder furnace, and I have a natural advantage in refining other thunder powers.

"The only question is, where does the external thunder come from? The little thunder energy accumulated by relying on the technique to absorb the immortal energy is definitely not enough..."

Wei Zhong fell silent for a moment. After practicing for more than ten years, the Thunder Hub in Wei Zhong's body was successfully formed.

His face showed surprise, and his spiritual sense scanned the thunder core in his body.

It is loose and porous, just like caramel randomly pulled and piled up. There are many holes inside, which is where the power of lightning is absorbed and refined.

"The technique states that it would take at least a hundred years to condense the Thunder Core. It only took me less than ten years, which is considered very fast progress."

Wei Zhong touched his forehead and realized that it was not because of his extraordinary talent, but because of the assistance of the Lightning Dao Seed.

Generally, immortals condense the seeds of laws and Tao after practicing immortal techniques, but Wei Zhong had already successfully condensed them before ascending. It was like he bought the ticket before getting on the bus, so it was naturally very smooth.

While thinking about where to find other thunders to enrich himself in order to condense the field of laws, Wei Zhong suddenly felt a tremor.

"What's going on? The ground is shaking?"

After leaving the room, Wei Zhong looked up at the sky, only to see that the clear sky of the past had become mottled. A large number of void cracks gathered there, colliding with each other and generating a group of space storms.

Despite such a hellish scene, the monks in the Cinder City did not show any fear. Instead, they let out deafening cheers.

After some inquiries, Wei Zhong found out the whole story.

"So this is the Void Tide?"

Many people left their homes and went deep into the depths of the Cinder City. Wei Zhong knew that these people were going there to hunt void creatures.

Without getting involved, Wei Zhong returned to the hut to practice.

Feeling that the immortal energy beneath his body was becoming more and more abundant, he smiled happily:
"Thanks to this void tide that attracted a large number of cultivators, my house has received more immortal energy."

After decades of practice, Wei Zhong's cultivation level has been rising steadily.

The path of spiritual cultivation has reached the middle stage of refining emptiness, and the construction of the field of thunder and lightning laws has also begun to take shape.

But unfortunately, it can only be maintained at a distance of three fingers outside the Thunder Hub and cannot continue to expand until it radiates outwards.

This level is far from reaching the effect of the law realm.

"It's too slow. If I continue to practice like this, it will take at least 20,000 to 30,000 years to successfully condense my domain and step into the realm of Xuanxian."

Staring at the cushion under him, Wei Zhong frowned:
"There is too little immortal energy in this room, unless we move to the upper level, or find a place to absorb thunder." Recalling the information collected over the years, there is only one place in the entire Jinhai City where thunder is generated, and that is the vein mentioned by Yanxuzi at the beginning, a vein containing meteorite thunder gold.

However, the power of thunder is extremely violent and ordinary people cannot avoid it. Who would use it to practice?
Wei Zhong had tried it once or twice, but the violent power of thunder almost destroyed his condensed thunder core.

“If you want to refine this void thunder into your body, you need to mobilize the purple gold thunder with the help of immortal energy to dissipate its power.

"The body is like a furnace, and the Purple Sky Divine Thunder and the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder are like fire. Only when the two are combined can they be refined and transformed into one's own body."

"We still have to change the cave."

Thinking of this, Wei Zhong felt pain again.

Even the pigeon cage that I saw at the beginning, which was worth a thousand Qingling fairy jades, was not cheap to rent.

To rent a room for a hundred years, three Qingling fairy jades are needed.

Converted into top-grade spirit stones, it is nine times the price of the room under Wei Zhong.

It may seem that nine times is not a lot, but you have to know that three fairy jades are only worth a hundred years of residence rights.

A hundred years is nothing for cultivators like Lianxu and Hedao, let alone immortal-level cultivators?

It takes ordinary immortal-level cultivators tens of thousands of years to practice a single secret technique, so a hundred years is just a fraction of that.

Over time, the amount of fairy jade spent on renting the cave must be a terrifying number.

"Well, when one's cultivation is low, one worries about the spirit veins. After finally cultivating to the immortal realm, what worries one is not the spirit veins but the small residence separated from the immortal veins.

“Ridiculous, ridiculous…”

Unfortunately, no matter how ridiculous it is, this immortal still needs to be cultivated.

After leaving his residence, Wei Zhong went straight to Yunlai Baiwufang:

"Friend Wang, is there any news on what I asked for last time?"

"Yes, fellow Taoist, please have a look!"

The jade slip flew out, and Wei Zhong took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and scenes of mountains, rivers, cities and deserts emerged inside.

Map, this is the map Wei Zhong prepared for leaving Jinhai City in the future.

Scanning the entire map, it only covers a corner of the Huntian Fairyland, and the scope is not that large.

But at least it has expanded a lot to the outskirts of Jinhai City, so Wei Zhong will not be blinded after leaving.

As for maps of other places, you can find them after you go out.

Although Wei Zhong really wanted to find the location of the Thunder Palace directly, it was not realistic.

A map covering many fairy realms was not something Wei Zhong could afford at the moment.

"I wonder what the price is?"

"It's just an ordinary map, I'll just give it to you, why bother with the spiritual stones?"

Wei Zhong gladly accepted it, and then handed a storage bag to the other party:

"Please help me change all of them into Qingling Immortal Jade."

Wang Xuyao ​​took it and was shocked when he saw the number of spirit stones inside.

"Your wealth is really substantial."

Wei Zhong smiled and saw the latter wave his sleeves, and eleven fairy jades were neatly arranged on the table.

Wei Zhong took it in his hand with great joy, looked at it carefully, and couldn't let it go.

"Fellow Daoist, you exchanged so many immortal jades, could it be that you want to exchange for freedom from Jinhai City?
"Brother Wei, please don't blame me for being too talkative. With your current strength, leaving Jinhai City is not a good choice."

Wei Zhong paused and put away the fairy jade:
"Could you please tell me in detail, Brother Wang?"

The other person holds his teacup:

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Wei thinks of the city beneath our feet?"

Wei Zhong thought for a moment, then answered:

"Mines, remote..."

The Jinhai City is indeed in the most remote corner of the entire Huntian Fairyland. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a desolate place.

Wang Xuyao ​​shook his head slowly:
“It’s true that this place is remote and desolate, but it’s also a place of great resources…

“In the Immortal Realm, there are not many places with such fragile space and connected to the void.

“It has the ability to absorb fragments traveling through the void, so strictly speaking it is actually a treasure land.

"Fellow Daoist, where do you think the mineral veins under the city come from? In fact, they are all accumulated from the fragments of the void over time.

“Although it is beneath one’s status to work as a monk in the city, one can still earn a lot through hard work, and it is much easier than making a living in the outside world.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know what the consequences of such a large gathering of people would be?"

Wei Zhong frowned:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what you mean is that there are robbery cultivators waiting outside the Jinhai City?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Xuyao ​​put down the teacup:
“Those monks who can leave Jinhai City are generally not rich, but they have some assets. Such monks are most likely to be targeted.

"If you are powerful, you don't have to be afraid of this, but it has been less than a hundred years since you ascended to this place, right?"

It's been more than a hundred years. It's only been more than twenty years since Wei Zhong ascended to heaven.

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't mastered the power of the law yet, so don't even think about leaving the city.

“It would be best to find a job in this Jinxie City, and while repaying the city’s debts, practice hard and improve your own strength.

“I will consider leaving the city after ten thousand years.

"And it would be best if you could join forces with others and leave together..."

After hearing Wang Xuyao's warning, Wei Zhong bowed:
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Wang."

With this in mind, Wei Zhong proposed to purchase several pieces of equipment.

Wang Xuyao ​​nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Wei Zhong felt a pang of pain in his heart as he took all his things and left Yunlai Baiwufang.

Not for any other reason, just because these mining guys are really not cheap.

It cost Wei Zhong five fairy jades, which was more expensive than renting the cave.

Wei Zhong couldn't help but suspect that Wang Xuyao's words just now were just to make him spend these few fairy jades.

After returning to his residence, Wei Zhong spent money to move and rented the immortal house for a hundred years.

Wei Zhong spent eight of the eleven fairy jades he had just obtained, leaving only three in his hands.

"The path to immortality is difficult, nothing more than this."

With a heavy sigh, Wei Zhong felt the abundant immortal energy in the cave and was quite intoxicated by it.

"This is what cultivation is all about. The shabby house before was just eating other people's leftovers."

After practicing for several months, Wei Zhong forcibly pulled himself out of the room.

"If I don't make more fairy jade, I won't be able to afford to live in this house."

Shaking his head, Wei Zhong carried the empty pickaxe and walked towards the mine.
