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

Chapter 502: Success, Tiger Watch

After leaving Xianju, Wei Zhong did not rush to Yunlai Baiwufang immediately, but wandered leisurely in the market.

From time to time, when he saw a spiritual object that interested him, he would take it.

Wei Zhong passed by the door of Yunlai Baiwufang several times, but had no intention of going in.

Seeing the cultivators in front of him avoiding him, Wei Zhong used his spiritual sense to explore and saw the symbol of the Huangming Society on these people.

“So they are from the Desolate Dark Society. I don’t know what order the society has given to make these Hedao Mahayana people avoid me.

“And those two from the Desolate Dark Society are really patient and haven’t caused me any trouble for such a long time.

"Mitian too, could it be that he is being led by the treasure map?"

Wei Zhong's eyes flickered, and suddenly he heard a voice calling:
"Brother Wei!"

Looking back, aren’t they the two fellow travelers from Yunlai Baiwufang?

The person walking in the front was Wang Xuyao, an old acquaintance of Wei Zhong, and the one slightly behind was Bai Yuchen, whom Wei Zhong had met once at the exchange meeting.

This "master" thought that the sundial in his hand was a treasure and never gave Wei Zhong any face. Even after Wei Zhong visited him several times, he had never seen him in person.

Now he didn't wait for Wei Zhong to come, but took the initiative to welcome him.

'A few hundred fairy jades is a bit too stingy.'

Wei Zhong secretly sneered in his heart, but he maintained a smile on his face just right.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Bai? Have you two come here specifically to look for me?"

"Haha, no, no, I'm just worried that Brother Wei might be murdered by Huang Ming in this market..."

Wang Xuyao ​​was talking nonsense and Wei Zhong was too lazy to expose him. He looked over him and at Bai Yuchen behind him.

He rubbed his hands and asked:
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Bai has a bottle of Thunder Element Essence?"

"That's right," Bai Yuchen glanced at the street environment, "but it's noisy here, let's go inside and talk in detail."

The two men made way and raised their hands to invite Wei Zhong to come forward.

Following the two back to Yunlai Shop, Wei Zhong showed great interest in the essence of the Thunder Element, but did not mention a word about the Sundial Pattern Time Shade.

“Ahem, of course there is the essence of the source of Taoism, but I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei has found a time immortal material before?”

"That's right. Thanks to our leader, who used his personal connections to find it for me. Let's not talk about this. Brother Bai, could you please take out the bottle of Thunder Essence? This item is related to my cultivation and I cannot neglect it."

Seeing Wei Zhong's expectant eyes, Bai Yuchen had no choice but to take out the jade bottle.

Wei Zhong took it in his hand, uncapped the bottle and examined it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, Brother Bai, how much is this item?"

The other party said without thinking:

"Five hundred immortal jades, this thing belongs to you, fellow Taoist."

Wei Zhong frowned:
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Bai and Fellow Daoist Wang are teaming up to play a trick on me? The quality of this bottle is obviously inferior to the one I bought before, so why is the price so much higher?"

Seeing that Wei Zhong was about to get angry, Wang Xuyao ​​coughed lightly and said:

"Brother Wei, this item is Brother Bai's treasured collection, so its price is naturally not comparable to the goods dispatched in the market, so it is normal for it to be a little overpriced.

"Also, Brother Bai should give a fair price. Five hundred fairy jades is really too much."

Bai Yuchen also frowned:
"Since my brother has persuaded me in this way, I will pay you 400 immortal jades."

"Too expensive. Quality is the priority for this item. I'm only willing to pay three hundred!" Wei Zhong raised three fingers.

"No, I will give you another twenty fairy jades at most, three hundred and eighty."

"Three hundred and two, this is my bottom line..."

The bargaining between the two immortals was no different from the casual spiritual cultivators in the market.

Wang Xuyao ​​was drinking tea on the side and did not participate in the price negotiation between the two.

He has already done his best to show his friendship, and if he still interferes in this matter, it would be a bit too much.

After some bargaining between Wei Zhong and Bai Yuchen, he finally bought it for three hundred and forty Qingling fairy jades.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Wei Zhong had achieved the purpose of his trip and was about to leave.

Bai Yuchen was unwilling and said quickly:
"Brother Wei, do you still need that sundial patterned time yarn?"

Wei Zhong paused, a little hesitant:

"Although I have already found a substitute, it would be good to have one more immortal material. That is, that is...

"I am short of money and I am afraid I can't pay it!"

Bai Yuchen was helpless:
"Brother Wei, why don't you take a look first? The price is negotiable."

After saying that, he took out the sundial pattern gauze on his own initiative, and Wei Zhong held it carefully in his hand.

It is a ball of cotton-like white yarn with a tough texture, and the laws of time flow and transmit on it.

"It is indeed a good thing. It is perfect for refining the umbrella of Shixu Qiji Umbrella."

Wei Zhong raised his head and looked at Bai Yuchen:
"I wonder what price Fellow Daoist Bai wants?"

The other party raised a finger:
"I discussed the price with Wei Zhong before, one thousand immortal jades."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong shook his head, put down the sundial pattern gauze neatly, turned around and left.

"Hey, Brother Wei, just bargain. Why are you so anxious?"

This item is not easy to sell, and the Chamber of Commerce's purchase price is quite low, so this person finally saw Wei Zhong as a sucker and naturally didn't want to let him go.

Wei Zhong turned around and tried to speak:
"five hundred?"

"Brother Wei, you are joking. How can you bargain the price down to half?"

"I am not kidding. The time immortal material I just purchased is only worth 500 immortal jades. Daoist friend, you asked for such a high price, no wonder no one paid attention to you at the exchange meeting."

"you!"

"Well, it's easy for you two, but please don't ruin our friendship because of the price," Wang Xuyao ​​hurriedly came out to smooth things over.

"Brother Wei, these five hundred immortal jades are really too low. Why don't you raise the price a little bit?"

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"I have limited immortal jade in my pocket, and I don't even have 500 left. I would like to give 400 immortal jades to you in exchange for this magic seal. Let's see if Brother Bai agrees."

Wei Zhong took out Xiang Chenyi's heavy hammer, which was considered an entry-level immortal weapon and was worth a hundred immortal jades. The total price was about five hundred.

"Brother Wei, this is really..."

The two of them immediately regretted taking out the essence of the Thunder Element. They didn't expect that this would drain Wei Zhong's fortune.

"You two still feel it's not enough? I still have some odds and ends on me."

After saying that, he took out the worthless things from Xiang and Shi's storage bags.

The two people from Yunlai Baiwufang frowned when they saw this.

However, adhering to the original duties of the Chamber of Commerce, Wang Xuyao ​​still carefully counted the items and made a bid for Wei Zhong.

After a while, he replied, "These bits and pieces plus this immortal weapon are worth about 178 immortal jades. Are you satisfied, Fellow Daoist Wei?"

Wei Zhong nodded slowly:
"You can't ask me whether you are satisfied or not, you have to ask Fellow Daoist Bai."

Wang Xuyao ​​turned his head and saw Bai Yuchen's face was gloomy, and he was obviously dissatisfied with this.

Hear the voice:

"Brother Bai, it seems that this person really has no fairy jade on him. Brother Bai, why don't you take this opportunity to sell it? Five hundred and seventy-eight fairy jades are higher than the purchase price of the Chamber of Commerce."

Bai Yuchen struggled for a while, and finally sighed:
"Then so be it!"

After the two sides exchanged the items, Wei Zhong took the sundial and played with it in his hands. Bai Yuchen couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what kind of replacement Brother Wei found?"

Wei Zhong's words were calm:
"It's just a piece of old dead vine."

Bai Yuchen was shocked and stood up:

"What, since you found this thing, why, why?"

Seeing Bai Yuchen lose his composure, Wei Zhong held back his hand:

"Brother Bai, please be patient. I have already used up the old vine. Even if you like it, it will be useless."

The latter sat down with a bang, and his eyes were full of danger when he looked at Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong knew that his previous words had already caused serious trouble to the other party.

But this is exactly the effect Wei Zhong wanted. Who made him ignore him for so long?
It's easy to do it in a few days or months, but it's really impossible for a human to do it in a few years.

What's wrong with venting your anger for this?
Not only that, Wei Zhong also took out his masterpiece in a swaggering manner.

A magic spear appeared in Wei Zhong's palm:

"Look, you two. This is the immortal weapon that I made using that piece of old withered vine."

Wang Xuyao ​​looked suspicious:
“Is it really refined?”

Bai Yuchen's reaction was completely different:

"A magic seal weapon. You used a piece of old withered vine to refine only one magic seal weapon?"

The value of a piece of withered vine is at least five or six hundred fairy jades, while the price of a magic seal is two hundred fairy jades, which is the top price.

The prices between the two are totally on different levels. Refining the tool in this way is no different from feeding ginseng to pigs.

But Bai Yuchen had no idea that Wei Zhong was only using a small piece of the withered vine, less than even one-tenth of its length.

It is still the roughest edge part, worth about thirty or forty fairy jades.

"What a waste of resources!"

Bai Yuchen was almost angry and fainted.

"If you want a seal, just tell me. Why waste this piece of old withered vine?"

But I couldn't express the words in my heart. It was as if there was blood clot in my throat, and I couldn't swallow it or spit it out. I felt extremely depressed.

Wei Zhong looked at the other party's conflicted expression and was secretly happy. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

On the other side, Wang Xuyao's attention was different from the other two. He was not paying attention to this at all and folded his hands:

"Congratulations to Brother Wei for his great progress in refining equipment. If he continues to improve like this, mass-producing immortal equipment will be as easy as eating and drinking."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Wang!"

Wang Xuyao ​​obviously valued Wei Zhong's ability to refine equipment more than the latter's squandering of resources and wasting immortal materials.

As the shopkeeper of Yunlai Baiwufang stationed here, being able to make friends with a first-level immortal-level weapon refiner is exactly the connections and resources he needs.

It is more valuable than the intrigues among the monks in the same temple.

Seeing that Bai Yuchen's attitude was becoming increasingly out of character, he coughed twice:
"Brother Bai, since the deal has been concluded, please leave immediately. I still need to discuss the purchase of immortal artifacts with Brother Wei to expand our business."

Bai Yuchen looked angry, but after hearing what was said, he could only shake his sleeves and go upstairs.

……

"The strangers have left. Brother Wei, can you please talk about this magical weapon?"

"Of course, my brother, please take a look..."

Upstairs, the dense immortal patterns wrapped the entire second floor, isolating it from any movement. A figure sat cross-legged on a cushion in the middle, and opened his eyes when he heard Bai Yuchen coming upstairs.

Bai Yuchen stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Pavilion Master. Pavilion Master has returned from the City Lord's Mansion. Is there any progress over there?"

Lou Hongwen shook his head:

"How can there be any progress if you just keep grinding? I'm only here to take a look."

After saying this, a water mirror appeared in front of him, and the scene in it was exactly the conversation between the two people downstairs.

Grabbed a handful of beard:
“I didn’t expect that this Thunder Cultivator, although not a descendant of the Immortal Palace, has mastered the art of refining weapons.”

Bai Yuchen couldn't help but explain after hearing this: "Pavilion Master, this person's behavior is completely a trick..."

"So what if I took advantage of others? Didn't our abilities come from taking advantage of others?
"If you take one step at a time and practice for a long time, you will naturally reduce costs and turn losses into profits. Most of the guests in my Yunlai Baiwufang are like this.

"Today you spoke rudely to a small spiritual creature, what will happen if you make requests to it in the future?

"After all, you are already old. You should at least learn to control your emotions when facing immortals of the same level. Don't boss them around like you would your subordinates..."

Bai Yuchen gritted his teeth:

"The Pavilion Master is right!"

"Okay, let's forget about this matter now, and don't mess with this person in the future.

“As for whether to incorporate it into the town, it will be entirely up to Wang Xuyao.

"I heard that the other party intends to leave Jinhai City. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us to add a fairy-level weapon refiner..."

Downstairs, Wang Xuyao ​​clapped his hands and exclaimed:

"Brother Wei, this weapon is amazing. It can integrate the power of multiple laws without breaking down. It is really a great skill..."

Wei Zhong laughed it off and accepted all the compliments without caring whether Wang Xuyao ​​was being sincere or just pretending.

"Brother Wang, rest assured. If I can refine this kind of magic weapon next time, I will definitely consider Yunlai Baiwufang first."

"Then I would like to thank Brother Wei in advance!"

The two drank tea, clinked glasses, and left happily.

After leaving the market, Wei Zhong touched the two things in his arms and nodded with satisfaction:
"This trip was a good one. Not only did we achieve our goal, but we also showed off our power. And Bai Yuchen must be mad as hell, right?"

Thinking back to the many times he had been rejected, Wei Zhong suddenly felt relieved.

Under the influence of such emotions, his cultivation even improved a bit.

"As expected, the path of cultivation requires a clear mind. This is true when practicing at the low level, and it is no exception after reaching the immortal level."

Wei Zhong hummed a little tune and left as the dusk fell.

He was completely unaware that several people at the exit of the market were staring at the direction he was leaving.

"Brother Gui, the chairman said that this person must be taken down, but is he serious?"

Gui Zerun said without hesitation:

“Of course it’s true, and look at the Taoist weapon in my hand, it was given to me by the master himself.

"You and I, together, can open the Dao Instrument's domain without anyone noticing, making very little noise and unlikely to draw attention.

"As soon as Wei Zhong leaves Xianju and Fangshi, it will be time for us to take action."

He held the black jade token in his hand, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

The other two True Immortals beside him had the same expression. They were Wen Mengsong, the fire-type spiritual practitioner who had attacked the Hongyun Gang, and He Yan who was controlled by Hua Shuiyao's Taoist weapon.

"Let me make it clear first. All the things related to the lightning law on Wei Zhong's body belong to me. The rest will be divided equally between the two of you."

He Yan nodded when he heard this, and Wen Mengsong had no objection either.

But a look of doubt flashed across his face:
"It's strange to say, the leader has never been so concerned about any True Immortal. Brother Gui only said a few words casually, and he was able to get the leader's consent to assassinate him, and even received a Taoist weapon as a gift. It's really too..."

Wen Mengsong didn't know how to describe it, and after a while he could only add:
"Could it be that there is a personal grudge between the leader and this person?"
