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

Chapter 500: Immortal Weapon Advancement, Keeping You Waiting
Holding the essence of thunder and lightning, Wei Zhong wandered around the market again and found that there were more and more strange cultivators among them.

There are not only monks from major chambers of commerce in Jinhai City, but also many independent cultivators who came here after hearing the intelligence.

Everyone is connected to the treasure map.

The large gathering of monks made the city more prosperous.

Wei Zhong was also very adept at collecting various spiritual objects. He even found no less than ten kinds of spiritual medicines needed for Hedao practice.

Moreover, they all have stable channels for mass-produced pills.

Without being stingy, Wei Zhong took out a large amount of spirit stones to buy it.

The top-grade spirit stones that are like dirt to immortals are still rare commodities at this level.

"Go slowly, dear guest!"

Wei Zhong had just said goodbye to the shop assistant behind him and was stopped in the street before he had walked halfway down the street.

"Brother Wei, what a coincidence!"

Wei Zhong looked at the person who came, and it was the Thunder Immortal from the Huangming Society.

"According to the information I have inquired, this person seems to be named Gui Zerun?"

"Fellow Daoist Gui, why did you stop me? Do you want to fight again?"

The other party sneered:
"It was just a coincidence that we met. I thought Brother Wei would stay in his immortal residence for hundreds of years and would not show up. I never thought that such a short time had passed..."

"Brother Gui, you are wrong. It was not my Red Cloud Gang that escaped in a panic. It is not my turn to retreat."

Gui Zerun couldn't help but feel a little flushed when he thought back to the scene.

"Brother Wei is a sharp-tongued man, but unfortunately his fists are not as good as this... How about we set up a ring and have another fight in front of the leaders of both sides?"

Wei Zhong rolled up his sleeves:
"I don't fight meaningless battles. I can set up a competition arena, but it must be a life-and-death competition.

"All spoils of the deceased must be given to the victor, and others must not interfere or pursue them afterwards.

"In this case, Brother Gui, can you agree?"

Hearing the words about the life and death challenge, Gui Zerun's eyes hesitated for a moment.

There is no limit to the lifespan in the immortal realm. If there is no life-threatening danger or heavenly calamity, the lifespan can be said to be endless.

It is not easy for anyone to cultivate to this level.

Gui Zerun was also unwilling to put his life on the line because of a dispute of pride.

"Why, Brother Gui, are you scared? If you are, just get out of the way and don't block the way."

After hearing this, the hesitation in Gui Zerun's eyes disappeared immediately. When he was about to agree, a voice called out from not far away:
"Brother Gui!"

A monk in a black robe approached. He was wearing ordinary clothes and the hairpin on his head was carved from spiritual stone.

He was dressed in plain clothes, but his aura was extraordinary, at the level of a true immortal.

Judging from his face, isn’t this one of the True Immortals that was controlled by Hua Shuiyao back then?
Hua Shuiyao had robbed the other party of his wealth, and even after decades, he still hasn't recovered.

He was even reluctant to buy a magic robe of immortal grade.

He Yan walked to Gui Zerun's side and saw that Wei Zhong's expression changed and his face trembled. He didn't know what he was recalling and was full of anger.

Since waking up, he has understood the process of the fight.

He found out that he was controlled by a female cultivator and had no effect on the fight between the two gangs. He even had to spend magical items to get it back afterwards. He felt extremely ashamed.

How can I remain calm when I see my former enemy now?
"How dare you, that monk, appear before us? If that witch is still here, I will definitely get back at her!"

His emotions were much more excited than Gui Zejun's.

He Yan's excitement actually made Gui Zerun calm down instantly.

Go forward and pull him to prevent him from clashing with Wei Zhong:
"Brother He, calm down, calm down!
"It's not appropriate to fight in the market, don't be impulsive!"

No one cares about the fighting in the market, but if they can't control themselves and damage someone's shop, they will have to pay for it.

In this city of Jinhai, which shop doesn't have an immortal in charge?
Want to escape debt? You should also consider your own weight, right?

Seeing the two of them arguing, Wei Zhong shook his head and walked by:

"If you want to compete, please feel free to invite me. But please remember, I only compete in life-and-death competitions..."

Leaving behind these words, Wei Zhong's figure gradually disappeared from the sight of the two.

"Brother He, you're not that witch, why are you so excited?"

"He, I..."

He Yan couldn't utter a word, his face full of dejection after his anger faded away.

Being captured and losing all his wealth, is there anything more shameful and humiliating in the world of cultivation than this?
Gui Zerun patted his shoulder:

"There are some strange things about these people from the Red Cloud Gang. If you are not sure, it is better for Brother He not to challenge them. You may not be their match.

"If you really want revenge, why not discuss it with a few brothers like me and ask the leader for advice? Maybe we can get something out of it."

He Yan seemed to have found a breakthrough:

"Yes, let's go find the leader. How dare Wei Zhong be so arrogant outside? He simply doesn't take our Desolate Dark Society seriously."

Wei Zhong returned all the way to Xianju and didn't care at all about the harassment from the other two people.

Not to mention He Yan who had his teeth pulled out, even Gui Zerun who had a lot of wealth was no match for him.

The latter, relying on that distinguished guest, might be able to fight Wei Zhong to a draw.

But that was when Wei Zhong didn't have any magic weapon.

After returning to the cave, Wei Zhong took out the essence of Taoyuan.

Looking at the dancing lightning, he barely suppressed his excitement.

He tilted his head back and swallowed the jade bottle together. Lightning exploded in his stomach, and the power of laws filled the air, sweeping away Wei Zhong's endless immortal energy.

At the same time, the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Pivot Staff that Wei Zhong had hidden in his body and was nurturing also seemed to have reacted.

Under the inspiration of the rich laws of thunder and lightning, it felt a little moved.

At the same time, a lightning seed appeared on Wei Zhong's forehead, and thunder appeared in the void three feet around him, spreading to the entire immortal residence.

This scene lasted for a whole year before it ended. When the lightning flowed back into Wei Zhong's body like spring water, the latter showed a look of surprise.

He raised his hand and the Nine Tribulations Profound Pivot Staff as long as his arm immediately appeared in his hand.

The staff is covered with fairy patterns and thunder is leaping in it.

"The Immortal-level Law-Ordering Device is finally completed!"

It took hundreds of years, and with the help of the secret method given by Hong Yun and two bottles of the essence of the thunder and lightning law, Wei Zhong finally upgraded this eighth-level life-saving magic weapon to the immortal level.

Moreover, once you enter the immortal level, you will jump two levels.

Going beyond the magic seals corresponding to the immortals, directly reaching the law command instruments of the true immortal level.

The internal lightning laws of the immortal staff are complete and can modify the natural laws within a local range. Although it does not have the power of a Taoist weapon, it also provides a basis for fighting the enemy with the power of laws.

In particular, there was a throbbing of life within the staff, which was exactly the ignorant fairy spirit created by the secret technique.

With the existence of this immortal spirit, the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Pivot Staff may continue to be upgraded in the future.

Playing with the staff, Wei Zhong slowly injected his own immortal energy into it, and the immortal patterns on the staff were immediately activated.

A ball of purple-gold lightning quickly wrapped around the staff.

This is not ordinary lightning, but a carrier of the power of law.

In Wei Zhong's vision, the law of thunder and lightning was like a dragon, wrapping the thunder staff in his palm tightly.

"Very good, very good. With this treasure, I can defeat any True Immortal of the same level. I don't need to take the risk of using the Red Tassel Immortal Spear anymore.

"Even if Gui Zerun has a tortoise shell, he probably can't withstand a few of my blows."

Familiarize yourself with the new power of the Nine Tribulations Mysterious Staff.

Wei Zhong sat cross-legged and practiced for a while, then he started to refine the tools, and another batch of empty thunder picks appeared. He sent them to the market to sell, and at the same time, Wei Zhong inquired about the treasure map.

"Unfortunately, the rumors in the market are all groundless and hard to tell whether they are true or false."

Only after returning to the Red Cloud Gang’s headquarters did we learn the details.

"The leader of the gang was also involved in this incident. Not only our Red Cloud Gang, but also the Xuanxian from the Desolate Dark Society, the Autumn Water Society, and the Yugang Tower were involved.

“Including the monks from the Chamber of Commerce and the Tuoba family, there are at least twenty Xuanxian gathered here.

"But although this power is great, the gains are very little."

"What do you mean, Brother Fu?"

Fu Lingfan continued to explain:
"That treasure map is difficult to decipher. Tang Cheng has been trying to figure it out for ten thousand years but still has no idea. Even if there are many Xuanxians of the same level as him, they all seem to be at a loss.

"According to what the gang leader said, the seal on the treasure map is heavy and covered with fairy patterns, making it extremely difficult to unlock.

“Only those who have mastered the art of array talismans and are particularly proficient in the laws of space can crack it.

"Otherwise, it will take a long time, ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or even a hundred years."

Wei Zhong rubbed his chin:

“Is it so difficult?
"If that's the case, won't each family go looking for reinforcements again?"

Zhou Haoming nodded:
“That’s right. Next time, maybe more than just these few Xuanxians will take action, real Taiyi Jade Immortals will also take action.

"The Embers City is really going to become famous this time..."

"Taiyi Jade Immortal..." Wei Zhong frowned.

Seeing the people talking in the room, they glanced at the two outsiders, Fu Lingfan and Hua Shuiyao.

After a while, Wei Zhong said goodbye and left.

After waiting in a teahouse in the local area for a while, the two pushed the door and sat down.

"Brother Wei invited the two of us to come here, but is there something you want to inquire about?"

Wei Zhong bowed:

"Exactly!
"I have ascended from the lower realms and have been staying in this city of cinders. I don't know much about the outside world. I wonder if you two can help me solve my doubts?"

As he spoke, he was already pouring tea for the two of them through the air.

"So that's what happened..."

“The Ashes City is located on the edge of the Chaos Immortal Realm. There is chaos and emptiness on all three sides, and it is extremely dangerous. There is only one road leading to the core of the Chaos Immortal Realm…

“This fairyland is in chaos. It is not ruled by the Dao Court Fairy Palace, but is divided among many forces.

"Among them, there are families like the Tuoba Immortal Clan that have Taiyi Jade Immortals in charge, as well as sects controlled by top Daluo Golden Immortals.

"The forces are huge and extremely chaotic, that's what we are talking about in this Hun Tian Immortal Realm.

"As an ascended monk, it is not easy for you to find a safe place to stay."

After hearing Wei Zhong asking about the outside world, combined with the changes in Jinhai City, the two already had some guesses in their minds.

Hua Shuiyao interjected:
“In my opinion, if Fellow Daoist Wei really wants to leave, he might as well try those small chambers of commerce.

“These chambers of commerce may not be very powerful, but they have traveled extensively over the years and are very familiar with the situation in the Huntian Immortal Realm, and can avoid many unnecessary conflicts.

"But the downside is that you can't earn much fairy jade, and all the resources may not be enough to satisfy fellow Taoists' cultivation."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"Could it be that the income in this Jinhai City is higher than that outside?"

Fu and Hua looked at each other:

“Of course, the Cinder City is a treasure land after all, and the many mineral veins inside are invisible to the outside world.

"As long as you have the right protective gear and mining equipment, your accumulation of fairy jade will naturally increase.

“And there’s no danger at all. It’s much better than the life-and-death struggles in the outside world.

“If you are lucky enough to dig up rare minerals, you can make a fortune that is worth a hundred days of hard work.

"Compared to surviving in the outside world, it is extremely advantageous."

Wei Zhong frowned even deeper, looking at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help asking:
"You two have quite a lot of skills. You have been struggling outside for so many years. Could it be that this is why you came to the Cinder City?"

Fu Lingfan scratched his chin embarrassedly:
"That's not the reason. I just practiced for myself, and the Xuanxian realm is the end. I heard that there was a world-shaking opportunity in Jinhai City, so I came here to look for it. I never thought..."

After that, he did find the way, but this opportunity involved the Golden Immortal, which was not something a mere True Immortal like him could get hold of.

Wei Zhong's eyes focused on Hua Shuiyao, who smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth:
"I am just here to join in the fun..."

The words are implicit and the purpose is not made clear.

After understanding it for a while, Hua Shuiyao added:

“If Brother Wei really wants to leave this Jinhai City, it would be best for him to improve his cultivation to the Xuanxian realm.

"This not only greatly guarantees safety, but also makes it easier to find a way to make a living outside.

"You can join some Jade Immortal forces and become a guest elder. You don't have to be ordered around like a True Immortal, which only adds to your troubles."

"Thank you both, I know what's going on."

After the three of them finished drinking, they left. Wei Zhong turned back and carried his own pickaxe into the mine again.

The condensation of the Thunder Core in the body requires the help of thunder. Without sufficient thunder and lightning power, blindly practicing hard is not a long-term solution.

Therefore, we have to rely on the thunder mines in this city.

“As for leaving the city, take your time and don’t be hasty.

“Although Jinsui City is a lot more chaotic than before, it’s still safe.

"At least there are no Xuanxian who are shamelessly attacking the cultivators below, but it's different in the outside world..."

Wei Zhong sighed quietly in his heart, and joined the people around him as they flowed into the interconnected mineral veins.

When they arrived outside the mine, the monks from the Hongyun Gang all bowed and greeted them. Wei Zhong nodded and gradually went deeper into the mine.

……

"Twenty thunder picks, three loads of meteorite iron ore, and thirty-seven Qingling fairy jades for Brother Wei..."

Wei Zhong nodded and handed over the pickaxe and ore.

Wang Xuyao ​​looked at Wei Zhong:

"Excuse me for being blunt, but since Brother Wei has the skill to refine weapons, why do you still want to go to the mine to mine?

"Whether it's relying on refining this Sky-Ringing Thunder Pickaxe, or refining other semi-immortal tools, or even entry-level magic seal tools, it would be much more than earning spirit stones from mining, right?"

Wei Zhong had a lot of grievances in his heart, so he just laughed it off and said that he needed the help of the thunder spirits in the mine to strengthen his body, thus changing the subject.

"Is your friend Bai Daoist here? Last time, I was very interested in a spiritual item in his hand, but unfortunately I missed it because I was short of money.

"Now that my wallet is getting fatter..."

"Fellow Daoist Bai?" Wang Xuyao ​​frowned, "Fellow Daoist Wei came at an untimely time. He just went to the City Lord's Mansion and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while.

"So that's how it is. Brother Wang, please help me tell him that Brother Wei wants to ask for a favor."

"Walk slowly!"

"..."

Bai Yuchen walked down from the second floor only after Wei Zhong left.

Wang Xuyao ​​couldn't help but say:
"Brother Bai, since you intend to get rid of that thing, why are you avoiding this person?"

Bai Yuchen acted as if he hadn't heard:
“If I don’t keep it like this, how can I offer a high price?

"Let this fellow Daoist Wei wait. Come a few more times. I don't believe that he won't be anxious."
