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

Chapter 513 Water Path Seed
After some discussion, everyone decided to stay and see what happened.

The next day, the three of them left the cave separately and went to Ziyin Fairy City to gather intelligence.

The gathering place for the scattered cultivators where everyone was was located in the northwest corner of Ziyin Fairy City, while the spire that issued the commissioned tasks was located in the southeast corner, closer to the territory where the Hong clan members were located.

This arrangement seems to be intended to prevent independent cultivators from going too deep into the Hong family's location.

Wei Zhong inquired about the northwest corner of the area for a long time and learned that most of the wandering cultivators here were laborers left behind by the former Ziyin Mine.

Because the mineral vein was closed and there was nowhere to go, they had been staying in the Ziyin Fairy City.

Most cultivators live a very poor life, and only a small number of them can earn a lot of immortal jade with their skills.

After inquiring, Zhou Haoming had a bitter look on his face. He had no special skills and all he had done in Jinhai City for thousands of years was mining.

After arriving at Ziyin Fairy City, there were no mines to mine, and even survival became a problem.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou shouldn't be so pessimistic. After all, he is a True Immortal. I have learned that both the Hong family and the merchant caravan stationed here are thinking of recruiting True Immortal guests..."

No matter what, Zhou Haoming has the cultivation level of a true immortal. Above him are only the Taiyi Jade Immortal, who is comparable to a giant in a region, and the mysterious Daluo and Daozu.

The other party's True Immortal cultivation is enough to crush most practitioners under his feet, so there is no need to worry about the way out.

He looked up at Wei Zhong and Fu Lingfan.

"It's easy for the two Taoist friends. You have the methods of refining weapons and making talismans, which are enough to gain a foothold in this fairy city. It's much easier than it is for me."

Wei Zhong just shook his head when he heard this:

"I'm afraid it won't be that smooth..."

There are two treasure troves in the Cinder City: the Void Hunting Ground and the underground mineral veins. There is an extremely high demand for corresponding mining magic weapons, as well as attack and protection magic weapons.

But Ziyin Fairy City is different. It is located in the heart of the Hong family and has no wars. It can be said to be quite peaceful and quiet.

Under such circumstances, the immortal weapons in the hands of the cultivators are updated slowly, and the demand for immortal weapons is probably far less than that in the Cinder City.

What's more, this place is the territory of the Hong family, and there may be many weapon refiners in the clan.

The same goes for Fu Lingfan's immortal-level talisman.

"Do you want to go back to your old ways of alchemy?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, and they all planned to go to the spire where the task was issued to take a look at the situation.

As he flew away, he saw monks coming and going in the spire.

A huge light curtain is located in the main hall of the tower.

Wei Zhong's spiritual consciousness skipped over the lowest-level spirit stone mission and looked directly at the immortal-level mission above.

"Making pills, refining immortal tools, escorting caravans..."

There weren't many tasks on it, but as Wei Zhong's consciousness moved, a line of small words instantly attracted Wei Zhong's attention:

"Recruiting immortal monks from Wufang Mountain, the mission is to excavate the essence of the laws..."

"Wufang Mountain, could it be the place where the new Dao source vortex of the Hong family appeared?"

Wei Zhong immediately looked for the disciples of the Hong family who were there to inquire and found out that this was indeed the case.

However, the latter glanced at the jade slip in his hand:

"Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, we have already recruited enough people this time. We will not open the recruitment again until the next thousand years. If you are interested, why don't you come back in eight hundred years?"

Wei Zhong was speechless and could only leave with regret and continue searching on the light curtain.

After a while, he picked up a task to refine an immortal weapon and left.

After returning to the cave, someone came to the door soon.

He has white eyebrows, black hair, a middle-aged face, and looks quite strange.

He bowed to Wei Zhong:
"My name is Lu Jing. I don't know you. May I ask if you have just arrived in Ziyin Fairy City?"

Wei Zhong nodded:
"That's right, I am Wei Zhong, but Fellow Daoist Lu wants to refine a magical seal immortal weapon?"

"That's right, but considering that you're new here, I wonder how good your weapon refining skills are?"

Wei Zhong was straightforward and took out several magic weapons he had made to convince them.

The latter was very satisfied and handed over all the immortal materials for refining weapons to Wei Zhong. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wei Zhong.

"I have something I want to ask you about."

The latter looked impatient at first, but when he saw Wei Zhong take out a fairy jade, he immediately smiled.

"How many years has Fellow Daoist Lu been in Ziyin Fairy City?"

The latter did not hesitate:

“It’s been at least five or six thousand years. Before that, we made a living from the mine, but the Hong family has sealed the mine in recent years.

"I had no choice but to withdraw from it and found a job guarding a caravan..."

Seeing that Wei Zhong was a stranger, the latter easily guessed what Wei Zhong wanted to know.

"Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Lu work for the Hong family?"

The latter burst into laughter:
"That requires the Hong family to look up to you. Look at the northwest corner of Ziyin Fairy City. Why are there so many independent cultivators like us? It's rare to see a Hong family disciple unless you enter the spire.

"The Hong family is so exclusive. If there is a good position in the family, how can it be our turn as independent cultivators?"

"But I heard that there is a Julong Pavilion in this city..."

Lu Jing's smile widened:

"How can ordinary people enter such a place? For ordinary cultivators like me, forget about it. We should just find a job in this fairy city...

"Ziyin Fairy City is one of the most important main cities of the Hong family. There are many caravans coming and going. If you have any ideas, I can help introduce them. After all, fairy-level weapon refiners are still popular among these caravans..."

Wei Zhong did not agree immediately, but left the latter with the communication jade talisman as a backup.

After seeing Lu Jing off, Wei Zhong couldn't help but frowned:

“No wonder it is often said that life in the outside world is no easier than in Cinder City.

"In Jinhai City, there are at least two jobs: mining and hunting void monsters. As long as your cultivation is high enough, there is almost no threshold. But in the outside world of immortal cultivation..."

Wei Zhong shook his head:
"The Hong family is so xenophobic. If I had known, I would not have accepted Hong Shichang's kindness. Now I have trapped myself in this Ziyin Fairy City and cannot leave."

The theory of cause and effect is illusory at a low level, but it is not so in the realm of immortals.

The law of cause and effect, even if immortal cultivators such as Wei Zhong do not cultivate the power of this law, they will never ignore it.

When you receive favors from others, there is cause and effect, and you must repay them.

If it is left aside and ignored, it will sooner or later become a weapon for others to use against you.

This was the main reason why Wei Zhong and the other two did not leave Ziyin Fairy City immediately.

There was no point in thinking too much, Wei Zhong started to refine the weapon, and within a month, a magic sword was successfully produced.

Its color is red, and its surface is covered with fairy patterns, like leaping flames.

This magic seal belongs to the fire element. It is quite easy for Wei Zhong to refine and there is almost no possibility of failure.

Thinking about the delivery that had been put on hold for several months, Wei Zhong meditated with his eyes closed.

After surviving the nine tribulations of Mahayana last time, Wei Zhong has successfully condensed the field of laws in physical cultivation and stepped into the level of Xuanxian. Then his spiritual cultivation also leaped to the immortal level.

Although he is a wandering immortal who has not condensed the seeds of laws and laws, it is also a big step for Wei Zhong on his road of cultivation.

The immortal energy in the body flows slowly, containing the five elements, yin and yang, and a trace of the law of time.

After reaching the immortal level, "The Five Elements Dao Building Sutra" finally took the initiative to touch upon the law of time.

What's more magical is that this kind of practice method has no level, whether it is in the Hedao Mahayana or in the current scattered immortal realm, it can be used freely. In the past, I refined spiritual energy to replenish myself, and now the refining of immortal energy is also quite smooth.

It seems like a universal magic spell.

Wei Zhong savored the charm of it carefully, and after a while he opened his eyes, quite puzzled.

“Although after reaching the Immortal Stage, cultivation techniques are not necessary, and the focus is on the cultivation of the power of laws, this Five Elements Dao Building Sutra is quite strange and special.”

Wei Zhong even had a mysterious intuition that as long as Wei Zhong refined some of the essence of the laws, he could condense the corresponding law seeds by himself.

With the idea of ​​trial, Wei Zhong immediately escaped from the cave and went to the Hong family's territory to purchase the essence of Taoyuan.

In the Treasure House, Wei Zhong took a deep breath when he looked at the dazzling array of Tao essences.

The resources here are so rich that a large amount of Tao essence is displayed openly.

There are not only thunder, five elements, yin and yang, but also ice, life, and death...

Among them, the essence of the Five Elements Daoyuan is the most abundant. Wei Zhong guessed that this might be the reason why the Daoyuan vortex appeared in the Wufang Mountain.

Such abundant resources even made Wei Zhong think of not leaving this fairy city for a moment.

When the Hong family disciples in the Treasure House saw that Wei Zhong had been looking at them for a long time without saying a word, they thought that he was "a country bumpkin who just came to the city" and a trace of contempt flashed across their faces.

Wei Zhong had a keen sense and naturally captured this expression.

However, with so much of the essence of the Tao in front of him, he was too lazy to compete with this person.

Raise your hand a little:
"This, this, and this...

"One bottle each of the Five Elements Essence."

"what?"

The Hong family disciple was stunned and seemed to have not reacted yet.

It was not until Wei Zhong repeated it again that the latter finally woke up from his dream:
"Okay, wait a moment, sir. I'll get it for you right away."

After that, he left with a smile on his face:
"It turns out that he is not a bumpkin, but a wealthy man?"

After a while, Wei Zhong was invited into the private room, and the Hong family disciple placed five jade bottles in front of Wei Zhong:
"Fellow Taoist, please take a look!"

Wei Zhong checked them one by one and confirmed that the power of the laws was real. Then he flicked his sleeves on the table, and a small hill of Qingling fairy jade fell down.

The full amount is more than a thousand pieces.

The Hong family disciple raised his hand and rolled it up, and the fairy jade fell into his hand. His spiritual consciousness stirred in it, and in the blink of an eye he checked the number and authenticity of the fairy jade:

"One thousand three hundred immortal jades, not one less. These five bottles of Dao source essence are yours."

The price of the authentic essence here is not that high, especially the five elements, which on average cost only two to three hundred per bottle.

Only for special laws such as yin and yang, life, and death, the price will rise to five hundred or six hundred per bottle.

"Does Brother Wei need anything else?"

Wei Zhong collected the essence of Daoyuan and looked up to ask:

"Can your building accept immortal weapons?"

"Of course I collected it..."

After a while, Wei Zhong left the Treasure House with a frown on his face:
"The Hong family is suppressing the price too much."

The normal market price of the magic seal was 180 fairy jades, but the other party had to lower the price to at least 70% before he was willing to sell it.

This reduced Wei Zhong's profit from refining equipment by more than half.

"Not cost-effective. It seems that the Hong family also has a large number of immortal weapons stored inside, and there is no way out..."

As he still had some fairy jades left, Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to find a way to earn them steadily.

Instead, he immediately returned to the cave, intending to refine the essence of the Tao source in order to verify his thoughts.

Inside the cave, Wei Zhong sat cross-legged, and the immortal energy in the immortal meridians under his body continuously flowed into Wei Zhong's body.

Wei Zhong swallowed bottle after bottle of Tao Yuan Essence one after another, and they were absorbed and refined in his body along with the flow of immortal energy.

So long has passed...

The aura on Wei Zhong's body fluctuated slightly, and when the refining was completed, there was a hint of mysterious meaning of the law in it.

Seeing a small grass growing out of the cracks in the rocks at the corner of the wall, Wei Zhong moved his fingers and the Five Elements Dingzhen Technique changed in his hands.

This time he did not borrow magic power like before, but directly mobilized the immortal energy in his body, and even included the five elements of Wei Zhong's body.

The five principles of gold, wood, water, fire and earth push each other and finally condense into the principle of wood.

A ray of green light shot out from Wei Zhong's fingers and sank into the grass.

The latter immediately trembled, broke through the cracks in the rocks, and grew vigorously.

It starts from the size of half a palm and then grows to the height of an average person.

With a "bang", the grass collapsed and turned into powder.

It couldn't withstand such a strong force of law and collapsed directly.

Wei Zhong's eyes flickered, and he looked at his right hand and murmured:

"It seems to have improved too much?"

Wei Zhong only refined five bottles of Daoyuan Essence, and strictly speaking, they belonged to the five elements, so the effectiveness would be reduced to one bottle.

However, the improvement achieved is much greater than that achieved by refining five or six bottles of thunder essence.

"Could it be that this technique has a strengthening effect on the Five Elements Law?"

With this doubt in mind, Wei Zhong delivered the refined immortal weapon, then took the immortal jade from Lu Jing and went to the Treasure House again.

Wei Zhong weighed the number of fairy jades he had and made another move.

The only difference is that in order to verify his guess, this time he bought all the essence of Water Dao Source.

There are three bottles in total.

After returning to the cave, Wei Zhong closed the door to visitors and focused on practicing.

More than a year passed like this. Inside the cave, Wei Zhong's whole body trembled suddenly. His immortal energy burst out, causing a loud noise and raising a lot of dust.

Wei Zhong walked out of the dust, with a layer of water flowing around him, wrapping around Wei Zhong's Dharma body like a piece of armor.

This appearance is somewhat similar to the Black Water Spiritual Robe method that Wei Zhong had condensed at the beginning.

However, the color of the water robe is different now. It is light blue and transparent, and it is composed of a large amount of immortal energy and the power of the water law.

On Wei Zhong’s chest, there was a flashing water-blue Taoist pattern.

"Water-walking Dao Seed, is it so easy to condense?"

There was still a trace of disbelief in Wei Zhong's eyes.

Considering that Zhou Haoming had spent more than ten thousand years to condense one of the Five Elements Dao Seeds, while he himself was only a year old, he was able to condense one with the help of four bottles of water-type Dao Source Essence.

The gap seems to be too big.

Wei Zhong's divine light flashed, his immortal clothes faded away, and the seeds of the laws and Tao returned to his body, merging into the "kidney", one of the five internal organs in his body.

"It seems that this kind of Tao seed can be combined with my body refining technique to strengthen the immortal level body?"

Wei Zhong looked slightly excited, and came out again, heading straight for the Treasure House.

While there is still some fairy jade in his hand, he wants to condense another Fire Element Dao Seed to refine the Law Command Fairy Weapon.
