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

Chapter 559: Order, Gamble

After collecting the fairy jade, Wei Zhong went out, passed through Liyang City, and went straight to Houtu City, where he met Jin Wuchen who had been waiting for him.

When the other party saw Wei Zhong coming, he took out a token with a smile on his face:
"Brother Wei, you must keep this Tianchi token carefully. The auction will be held at the end of the year. In this half month, there will be people who want to take advantage of this token."

Wei Zhong looked puzzled:

"Is there anyone else who can't rob it?"

Jin Wuchen laughed:
“That’s hard to say. In the past, there were those who used force to seize things, and there were also those who used their status to coerce others into seizing things.

“Although Brother Wei comes from a powerful force like Thunder Palace, he is not a direct descendant, so it is difficult for him to guarantee this order.

"You'd better hide it better, don't let those second-generation rich people know about it."

Wei Zhong nodded upon hearing this.

"Thank you very much, Brother Jin!"

"Alas, Brother Wei, why bother thanking me? Just consider it as a favor from me. With Brother Wei's strength, I may have to ask for help in the future. I hope Wei Zhong will not hesitate to help me then."

"must!"

Wei Zhong said goodbye and left, wandering around the outskirts of the five sub-cities before returning to the cave.

He had intended to practice magic and improve himself, but unexpectedly, as Jin Wuchen had said, a barbaric person came to his door.

……

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei was collecting immortal jades a few days ago. Could it be that Fellow Daoist got a spot in the internal auction of the Five Elements Immortal Palace?"

Wei Zhong’s previous collection of fairy jade was too large, and most of the cultivators living in this Furnace Alley knew about it.

What's more, the person in front of him is a fellow disciple of Wei Zhongxian Palace and Tianxing Hall.

Wei Zhong's eyebrows did not blink at all, and his expression was expressionless.

With a teacup in hand:

"Friend Tiedao, you are overthinking. How can an ordinary person like me get the qualification for this internal auction?
"If you are really interested, you may ask others about it."

Tielang laughed loudly upon hearing this:

"Brother Wei, you are too modest. In the past hundred years, Brother Wei has become a celebrity in Furnace Alley. It shouldn't be that difficult to get a quota, right?
"Well, Brother Wei, please give me the spot and consider these immortal jades as your reward. How about that?

"In addition, my ancestor still has some face in the Heavenly Punishment Palace. I will say a few good words to him and ask him to consider accepting Fellow Daoist Wei as his disciple..."

Wei Zhong's expression remained calm. He scanned the storage bag that the other party took out with his spiritual sense and saw two thousand fairy jades inside. He said secretly:
"To send away beggars!"

What was two thousand immortal jades to Wei Zhong now? Using it to exchange for a spot in the internal auction was even more absurd.

Wei Zhong raised his head slightly, looked at Yu Tielang's face, and recalled the information he knew.

Tie Kuang, a demon from the late Taiyi era, is a mutant of the ancient Lei Ze, the Thunder Demon Bi'an. Bi'an is one of the nine sons of the dragon.

'Tie Kuang has a special bloodline and possesses the power of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Demon. Combined with his own strong demon body, his own strength is extremely terrifying.

'They are the top fighting force in the entire Tianxing Palace, and even in the entire Leiting Immortal Palace, they are the most powerful.

'Perhaps because he has dragon blood in his body, Tie Kuang is extremely sexually promiscuous and has fathered offspring with women of various races, including humans, monsters, and demons.

'The bloodlines under my command are extremely diverse, and their number is quite large.

'The Tielang in front of you is one of them.'

Wei Zhong stroked the teacup:

'Xuanxian cultivation, this Tielang realm is acceptable, but I don't know what his status is among Tiekuang's many descendants.'

Wei Zhong's strength is average, so naturally he doesn't want to mess with the Thunder Beast Master.

But this does not mean that any of the other party's descendants can act rampant in front of Wei Zhong.

The two thousand fairy jades were just a show by the other party, and it was nonsense to whisper in Tie Kuang's ears.

Wei Zhong knew what the other party was thinking. It was just a way of suppressing him by force.

It’s a pity that the other party chose the wrong target. Wei Zhong has been practicing for so long that he is not a soft persimmon that others can easily bully.

"Fellow Daoist Tielang, please go back. I have not yet obtained the pass for this auction.

"Even if I get it, I have no intention of selling it. It is definitely not something that Fellow Daoist Tielang can buy with these two thousand immortal jades."

Tielang's face darkened:
"Friend Wei, are you going to drink a penalty drink if you don't accept my toast?"

Wei Zhong's expression remained calm. He simply put down the teacup in his hand and knocked the teacup on the stone table with a ding-dong sound.

"Fine wine. I have been practicing for so long and have tasted many toasts from others, but I have never tasted fine wine. Can Fellow Daoist Tielang have such ability?"

As he spoke, Tie Lang became more and more angry. Just when he was about to take action, someone suddenly knocked on the cave door.

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves to open the door, and Xie Yuanping and Jiang Qianmeng stepped in.

The two of them nodded slightly to greet Wei Zhong, but they were not so polite to Tie Lang.

"How can Fellow Daoist Tie have the leisure to come to Fellow Daoist Wei's residence when he is not preparing for the Yandao Conference?"

Wei Zhong stood up to greet the two men. Upon seeing this, Tie Lang knew that the three men were on good terms and there was no chance for them to take action today.

With a grunt:
"I hope that fellow Daoist Wei will consider this carefully, otherwise..."

After saying this, he walked past Xie Yuanping and the other two and left.

Wei Zhong closed the cave door, and Xie Yuanping and the others immediately asked:

"Brother Wei, this guy is..."

Wei Zhong invited the two to sit down, cleared the table and replaced the tea set:
"I came here just for the auction spot I have."

After pouring tea for the two, Wei Zhong asked about Tie Lang's information:
"Do you two know what position Tie Lang holds in front of the Thunder Beast Venerable?"

"I don't know much about this, so I'd better let Junior Sister Jiang explain it to you."

Jiang Qianmeng nodded upon hearing this:

“The Thunder Beast Venerable is an outlier in my Thunder Immortal Palace. His original body is a demon race, and he has many descendants, but most of them are mixed blood and can’t go far on the immortal road.

"Among these descendants, there are a few who are different. They purify their blood, break through the realm, and enter the fairyland. Such descendants will be given the surname 'Tie' by Tie Kuang.

"It can be said that anyone with the surname 'Tie' can be considered to have officially entered the door of this Taiyi Elder."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"So, does Tie Lang really have any status and qualifications?"

Jiang Qianmeng smiled when she heard this:
"Brother Wei, do you know how many descendants of the Tie family are under Elder Tie's command?"

Wei Zhong was at a loss.

Jiang Qianmeng raised a finger:
"About 10,000!"

Wei Zhong spit out the tea:

"This Thunder Beast Master is really fertile!"

Anyone who has reached the immortal level will be granted the surname Tie. Adding those who have not yet broken through the immortal level, how many people will there be?

“Of course, Tie Lang’s ability to enter the Xuanxian realm is considered quite capable, but this ability is nothing in the eyes of that Thunder Beast Venerable.

“The other party’s favorites are the three Taiyi disciples in the sect. They are all the ones who have broken through the shackles of their bloodline and entered Taiyi among the other party’s millions of descendants.

"A descendant of the Xuanxian like Tielang is not worthy of being on the stage. Fellow Daoist Wei does not need to worry about the threat from the other party."

Just as Wei Zhong was about to relax, Jiang Qianmeng added:

“But Fellow Daoist Wei should not take it lightly. Although Tie Lang cannot mobilize the Taiyi background, his own strength is not simple.

"If a fight really breaks out, Senior Brother may not be the opponent's opponent. Moreover, these descendants of the Venerables tend to stick together and form various groups. They may join forces with others to attack Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Zhong was stunned, then raised his hands:

"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy Jiang."

The two of them had a drink with Wei Zhong and then left.

Wei Zhong stood in front of the tea table and waved his sleeves to clear the leftovers on the table.

"Attack me? My methods are not bad either."

Wei Zhong was not too worried, and turned around to go back to the practice room inside the cave to continue practicing magic and enriching his own way of all things. Three months later, suddenly the sound of drums exploded at the entrance of Wei Zhong's cave.

The penetrating power of its sound is so strong that even the defensive fairy formation of this cave cannot completely block it.

Wei Zhong frowned and came out of his training state.

As his spiritual consciousness extended, he suddenly saw a strange bird lurking outside the cave, fluttering its wings and flapping its belly from time to time.

Her belly is bulging high, just like a woman who is pregnant for ten months.

The collision of the two immediately created a sound like thunderous drums.

Not far from the strange bird, a group of people stood in the air, staring at Wei Zhong's cave and laughing, and it was unknown what they were talking about.

Wei Zhong also saw Tie Lang inside.

"Jiang Qianmeng was right!"

Wei Zhong's face was gloomy. The door of the cave opened and his figure walked out:

"What do you guys mean by this?"

Seeing Wei Zhong finally show up, the three of them flew over.

One of them stood up and pretended to bow to Wei Zhong:

"Are you Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong?"

"So what?"

Wei Zhong frowned. The person in front of him was also a Xuanxian, but he gave Wei Zhong an inexplicable pressure.

"Master!"

"That's good. I'm Tieyuan, but Brother Lang is itching to learn from Brother Wei. As your elder brother, I have no choice but to help."

After saying that, he waved his hand in the sky, and the strange bird above immediately flew down, and then gradually shrank. When it landed on his palm, it was only the size of a palm.

With a turn of his wrist, the strange bird was put into his sleeve.

"Mysterious Immortal Pet?"

Wei Zhong became more alert:

"Discussion? I don't have the leisure to do that. Please go back!"

After saying this, Wei Zhong turned around and went back into the cave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Tieyuan suddenly appeared in front of Wei Zhong, stretched out his right arm, and blocked Wei Zhong's way.

"Alas, Brother Wei Zhong, why did you refuse so decisively? Why don't you just listen to what I have to say?

"This empty verbal duel is meaningless, so why don't we both place a bet?

"If Tie Lang loses, I will give you 5,000 immortal jades. If you win, how about giving me the spot for the upcoming auction?"

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes:
"It turns out that this person is plotting to take the token in my hand."

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful, and in Tieyuan's eyes he was already somewhat moved.

Five thousand fairy jades are a large number. Even a force like the Tiandao League would only take out ten thousand if they were optimistic about Wei Zhong.

The other party can take out 5,000 pieces. If Wei Zhong wins the competition, it will be enough to make him more confident at the auction.

It's just a price. If you lose, you will lose the most critical spot in the auction. I don't know when I will be able to encounter the Five Elements Immortal Marrow next time.

'but……'

Wei Zhong turned around and glanced at Tie Lang.

"How can I lose against this kind of people?"

"Since Brother Tieyuan has strongly invited me, I shouldn't be too rude. It's just that the chips, Daoist, can only be increased to 10,000."

Tieyuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally agreed:

"Can!"

"Then, fight..."

"Brother Wei, don't..."

Xie Yuanping and the other person were out and came back late. When they saw that Wei Zhong agreed to the duel, they couldn't stop sighing.

Tieyuan smiled, rubbed his hands, and then led everyone into the air.

Wei Zhong and two others followed.

At the same time, Wei Zhong sent a message to the two:
"Do you two feel there is something strange?"

"Of course there is. Fellow Daoist Wei is confused. Tie Lang is already very powerful. Now that he has been pushed forward by Tie Yuan as a thug, he must have a trump card in hand.

"Friend Wei, be careful, be careful, be careful..."

Xie Yuanping kept warning, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was already high in the sky. The protective formation of Liyang City was activated instantly after receiving the induction.

A fireball flew over, but the power contained in it was not offensive.

When approaching Wei Zhong and others, the fireball immediately burst and swallowed everyone.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhong found himself in a world of fire.

"Come prepared!"

It turned out that Tie had previously communicated with the higher-ups in Liyang City and had agreed on a fighting space.

The two teams of horses floated in the air, and Tieyuan stretched out his hand:

"Friend Wei, please!"

At the same time, Tielang walked out, step by step, like a thunderous explosion.

Its body continued to grow taller during this process, bone spurs protruded from its back, and a layer of spines were arranged into a long vertical line, with thunder roaring in between.

Wei Zhong looked at the other party's increasingly ferocious figure. No matter how much he searched in his mind, he had no idea what the other party looked like.

'Mixed blood!

"This Tielang is definitely a mixed blood. He is not the direct bloodline of the Thunder Beast Venerable, but the offspring of his descendants who have been mating for countless generations."

While Wei Zhong was thinking, Tie Lang had already revealed his true form. He was about three meters tall, with hideous bone spurs all over his body and exposed muscles, like a corpse with its skin peeled off.

"Brother Wei, be careful!"

Wei Zhong nodded, took a step forward, and arrived at the center of the battlefield, standing opposite Tie Lang.

Tie Lang gave a sinister smile:
"Boy, today I will show you what it means to drink a penalty drink."

After saying that, he took a step forward, blood-colored lightning bursting out of his body, and rushed straight towards Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong frowned slightly, clenched his palm into a fist, and punched out.

The two bodies collided and Wei Zhong immediately flew backwards.

He took nine steps in the air before slowly stopping.

It was just a test just now, and Wei Zhong did not use much strength.

However, when he saw the blood on his arm, his expression became a little solemn.

This blood is thunder, a kind of thunder power that Wei Zhong has never seen before. It corrodes Wei Zhong's arm robe, and when it touches Wei Zhong's skin, it shows signs of merging into Wei Zhong's Dharma body.

"This……"

Unfortunately, before Wei Zhong could think, thunder exploded immediately behind him.

Watching the two sides fighting in the air, one person asked with a little worry:
"Brother Yuan, can Tie Lang be a match for this man? I heard that Wei Zhong is quite powerful and has many treasures in his hands..."

Tie Yuan is confident:

"Tie Lang will definitely win. His bloodline is special and is very effective in merging and fusing various bloodlines. With the blessing of our blood essence, his strength has become incredible.

"You are no match for him. What's the point of taking down a weapon-making and talisman-making monk from Xuanting Academy?"
