Chapter 118 Spiritual Roots

In the secret room, Wei Zhong took the secret jade slip to comprehend for several days, and his understanding of this method has reached a higher level.

In detail, the secret methods mastered by Xuehai Zhenjun and Tan Tailin belong to two schools.

One school advocates refining external objects to achieve oneself, and the other school advocates strengthening oneself to nourish the spiritual roots.

Compared with the two, it is naturally faster to practice it to transform oneself, but it will increase a lot of risks.

Therefore, Wei Zhong chose to use himself as the basis to cast the prototype of the spiritual root, and then incorporate external objects to strengthen the spiritual root and finally make it take shape.

Taking out the Yuanshuizhu, Wei Zhong looked at this magic weapon that has been with him for decades.

Previously, Wei Zhong thought that he had to consume his life magic weapon to refine the spiritual root, and he felt it was a pity.

But after comprehending the secret method for so many days, Wei Zhong understood that what was needed to cast the spiritual root was not the Yuanshuizhu itself, but the highly condensed water spirit in it and a wisp of spiritual energy that was closely connected with himself.

In this way, Wei Zhong would not lose this important life magic weapon.

But it will directly knock down its rank, making it fall to the grade of a first-class magic weapon.

However, at least the body of the Yuanshuizhu is left, but Wei Zhong needs to spend time to nourish it again.

The time required for recovery is much shorter than the previous cultivation. If there are enough water-based spiritual objects, it may take several months.

Carefully pondering the possibility of the secret method, Wei Zhong considered it and decided to postpone it. At this moment, Qingmufang, located outside the Wanshou Mountains, is not a good place for retreat.

According to Wei Zhong's estimation, it will take at least a month to forge spiritual roots, so it is better to find a place alone after solving all the problems, escape into the cave and practice peacefully.

After considering this, Wei Zhong came out of retreat and found Yu Xianglan, saying that he could open the furnace to refine the source-replenishing pill.

Yu Xianglan was overjoyed to hear the news, and hurriedly brought Lu Yibin to visit.

And brought several thousand-year-old spiritual medicines as Wei Zhong's hard work fee.

"I didn't expect that the Xuanling Jade Liquid that we hadn't found would be unexpectedly found by Master Tiezhen in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. God bless my disciples of the Dharma Hall."

Yu Xianglan's words excited Lu Yibin so much that he seemed to have imagined what it would be like when he recovered from his injuries in the future.

Wei Zhong smiled and put away the elixir:

"You two wait outside for half a month. I will notify you again after refining this elixir."

After hearing this, the two of them said goodbye and left tactfully.

Wei Zhong walked into the empty secret room alone. Although this place was not an alchemy room, Wei Zhong was an amateur in water alchemy, so he didn't need many tools for fire alchemy.

One alchemy furnace and one person were enough.

Within ten days, Wei Zhong walked out of the secret room with two elixir bottles, one large and one small.

In the large elixir bottle, the elixir was green and round. It was a quality-enhancing source-boosting elixir, and there were four of them.

In the other small pill bottle, there is a smaller pill, which Wei Zhong refined from the waste pills of the substandard Buyuan Pill.

It does not meet the third-level standard, but it is also the best of the second-level, which is enough to repair the foundation of the foundation-building cultivator.

There are two pills of this pill, which Wei Zhong calls the small Buyuan Pill.

‘Although the pill is of the second-level grade, it contains the medicinal power of the third-level spiritual object, so the effect of the spiritual pill is much stronger than that of the general second-level.

However, if you want to refine this small Buyuan Pill, you don’t have to use the third-level spiritual object as the main material.

The second-level grade is also fine. ’

Wei Zhong is now a master-level third-level alchemist. After refining this pill, he has a clearer understanding of the pharmacology.

Although it is not possible to launch a higher-level pill, there is an idea to lower the quality of the pill.

‘Using only a hundred-year-old spiritual object to refine the elixir can repair the damage of the foundation of Taoism. With this elixir recipe in hand, it is enough to seek a guest position even in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. ’

Wei Zhong waved his hand and took out two pills, one large and one small, from the two pill bottles, and then put them in a new jade bottle.

This is the elixir that Wei Zhong intends to give to Yu Xianglan.

Although the other party only provided a spiritual medicine, the thousand-year-old green root grass, Wei Zhong couldn't fool the other party with a useless pill, so he added a genuine pill.

Then he sent a message to the two people, and soon after, a man and a woman entered Wei Zhong's courtyard.

Wei Zhong waved his hand to take out the pill bottle and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

Yu Xianglan picked up the pill bottle and saw two pills, one large and one small, and she was still confused.

Then, Wei Zhong said in a voice transmission:

"The small pills among these are for foundation-building cultivators. Daoyou only need to give this pill to this disciple of your sect.

As for the big pill, it is of the third level, for the real pill of Jindan cultivators. It is extremely precious, and Daoyou hopes Daoyou will keep it well."

Yu Xianglan immediately knew how precious this pill was after hearing this. The pill that can repair the real pill of Jindan cultivators is not comparable to those cultivation pills.

One of these pills will surely be sought after by cultivators.

"Thank you Daoyou for telling me."

Yu Xianglan accepted the pill and talked to Wei Zhong about the recent situation.

"Did the monsters in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range move during this period?" Wei Zhong asked curiously about the movements of the monsters in the mountains.

Yu Xianglan shook her head:

"These days, the mountains are very peaceful, even the group of wind wolves have disappeared.

It seems that after experiencing this incident, the monsters have calmed down, and few monsters attack our stronghold."

"Just two days ago, a front-line disciple reported that dark clouds gathered in the depths of the mountains, suspected to be a thunderstorm.

But the distance is too far to know the details, and I dare not go forward to investigate."

When Wei Zhong heard this, a strange look flashed across his face.

After talking with Yu Xianglan for a few more words, the latter left with Lu Yibin.

Tan Tailin's voice came from behind. It turned out that he had come out of retreat and came to the courtyard at some point.

"The thunder tribulation is probably the tribulation of the Blood Sea True Lord's Nascent Soul Formation."

Wei Zhong was stunned:

"Hasn't that person already reached the Nascent Soul stage? Could it be that he used some secret method to delay the thunder tribulation?"

Tan Tai Lin sat down at the table: "It's almost certain."

"He obtained Huangqi's flesh body, probably to refine it into a blood body to resist the thunder tribulation.

Although I don't know the details, according to Blood Sea's character, he will not easily pass the tribulation without a great deal of confidence.

After this thunder tribulation, there will be another extraordinary evil cultivator in this area."

"Has the senior never heard of the name of the Blood Sea True Lord before?"

Wei Zhong was puzzled. According to the existing information, the Blood Sea True Lord probably fell from the Nascent Soul stage, and it is impossible for him to be unknown before.

Tan Tai Lin shook his head:

"Boy, you think too little of the human world. Although I am a Yuanying cultivator, I have not been to all places."

Then Tan Tai Lin placed the teacups on the table and continued:

"The two states of Fengyun in the Central Plains, and the Western Desert adjacent to Yunzhou. I have also wandered in these three places.

As for the Zangyuan in the north, the Polar Star Sea next to Fengzhou, and more places for cultivation, I have never had the opportunity to visit them."

Wei Zhong looked at the five teacups on the tea table. The map of the human world was presented in front of him for the first time.

A sudden impulse arose in his heart to travel all over the mountains and rivers.

"Well, where the Blood Sea True Lord came from has nothing to do with us.

He killed the fourth-level demons as a stepping stone to return to the Nascent Soul stage, which means that he is still on the side of our human race, and that's enough."

"In addition, have you gained anything during the time you have been comprehending the secret method?"

Wei Zhong then retracted his thoughts and nodded:

"I have almost comprehended it, and I am sure that my spiritual roots will be forged."

Tan Tai Lin nodded:

"I am about to leave and return to Luohe Mansion. What do you think?"

"Of course I will return with you. But please give me some more time."

Tan Tai Lin nodded: "Then I will allow you one month."

"Thank you, senior!"

······

In the following month, Wei Zhong did not try to start forging spiritual roots, because this time was not enough.

The next day, Wei Zhong visited Nie Yuansen, the former leader of Qingmu Sect, and explained his intention to leave.

The latter was not surprised to hear this, and at the same time understood Wei Zhong's intention.

‘If we don’t take this opportunity to trade with this Tiezhen Danshi again, there will be no chance in the future.’

After experiencing the calamity of the demon wolf, Qingmu Zong became particularly generous and took out a large number of spiritual medicines to trade with Wei Zhong.

When Wei Zhong was about to leave, he even asked Wei Zhong if he had any elixirs to assist Jindan cultivators to break through to Yuanying.

“Fellow Daoist Nie really thinks highly of me...”

Wei Zhong left happily after leaving these words.

Wei Zhong naturally knew what the other party was up to. Qingmu Zong was at the peak of Jindan cultivation, and was only a hair’s breadth away from Ningying.

This elixir was naturally prepared for him.

Needless to say, whether Wei Zhong had it or not, even if he did, he would not sell it to Qingmu Zong.

It was not enough for him to use, so how could he sell it to a hidden enemy.

Besides, even if Wei Zhong was willing to sell it, could your Qingmu Zong afford it?

This fourth-level elixir, even if you emptied the entire Qingmu Zong, you probably couldn’t get one.

Then Wei Zhong went to Yunji Market, met the shopkeeper Ruan Liuzhen, and secretly met Ning Jiaqi, the boy that Ning Cankun had entrusted to him.

After so many years, he has become a foundation-building cultivator.

At the same time, under the guidance of his master, the alchemy method has entered the second level, and now he is a famous alchemist in Yunji Market.

He left some cultivation resources and asked Ruan Liuzhen to deliver them to him. He left without choosing to meet him.

After practicing for a hundred years, Wei Zhong found that his temperament was getting colder and colder.

It was obviously his old friend Ning Cankun who entrusted him to him, but he found a backer for him and fled.

Now, after a hundred years, he didn't choose to meet him, but gave him some resources and left hastily.

'Maybe the time I spent with him was too short! '

All in all, it was only a few decades on Black Lake Island. Wei Zhong was in seclusion for a long time and rarely communicated with him. It seems reasonable that his feelings were cold.

‘At least I still care enough about the people around me, so I won’t continue to practice and become a heartless person.’

After finishing all the things here, Wei Zhong followed Tan Tai Lin back to Luohe Mansion.

Looking at the familiar scenery around, Wei Zhong didn’t expect things to go so smoothly.

Less than a year had passed since the day of departure, and he returned to Luohe Mansion again.

After saying goodbye to Tan Tai Lin, Wei Zhong fled all the way back to Yunxia Island.

Seeing Wei Zhong return, Xie Linghua showed surprise and joy on her face.

“Master, how did you come back so quickly?”

Wei Zhong put his right hand around her waist: “Things went very smoothly, so I came back quickly.”

Then he bit her pretty face.

“Hehe,” Xie Linghua felt a little itchy on her face, “I have to inform Sister Ling as soon as possible.”

Wei Zhong nodded when he heard this.

The agreement with Ling Ziwei seemed to be yesterday.

Even Ling Ziwei probably didn't expect that he would return so quickly.

In the following month or so, Wei Zhong spent some time with the two girls, and then entered a deep retreat again.

In the cave, Wei Zhong inspected the spiritual fields where various precious spiritual objects were planted.

He also went to see Da Jin's several monsters.

During this trip to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, Wei Zhong not only harvested a large number of spiritual medicines from the Qingmu Sect, but also obtained a large number of monster pills in the mountains.

In particular, the wind attribute monster pills were the most, thanks to the wind wolf tribe.

In addition, several third-level monster pills were harvested, and all the fire attribute ones were thrown to Jin Mei, allowing him to refine and improve his Taoism.

Da Jin was not very interested in these monster pills, and Wei Zhong didn't have any good ideas.

It is still unknown what kind of monster it is, and the general training methods cannot be applied to it.

It seems that we can only wait for the opportunity to promote it in the future. Or cultivate the two spiritual herbs to the third level?

Wei Zhong turned around and left after thinking about it.

This was not the time to think about such things. The most urgent thing was to take care of his own spiritual roots.

Back in the practice room, Wei Zhong first refined a large number of spiritual medicines into various elixirs, and then began to use the secret method to figure it out again.

He sorted out the process again and again, and then took out the Yuanshuizhu, his life magic weapon.

"I wonder what kind of spiritual roots can be cast with a third-level peak life magic weapon?"

Wei Zhong pinched his fingers and took the Yuanshuizhu into his body.

"Forging spiritual roots is naturally the fastest way to refine it and transform oneself, but there may be hidden dangers.

I have the help of the Yuanshuizhu, which can be used to absorb all kinds of spiritual objects as a transit station, and then used for spiritual root casting, which can eliminate this risk..."

Wei Zhong murmured, and he had already started the secret method, constantly absorbing the high concentration of water spiritual energy contained in the Yuanshuizhu.

After a month, the spiritual energy had condensed into solid crystals, and then he took out a top-grade dust-reducing pill and swallowed it.

"Dust-reducing returns to the innate, and the spiritual crystal becomes a spiritual root..."

As the dust-reducing pill was taken, Wei Zhong's consciousness seemed to glimpse the five-colored light spots in his body in the haze.

That was Wei Zhong's five-element spiritual root.

The consciousness controlled the spiritual crystal to move closer to it, and the physical spiritual crystal gradually became illusory.

"Pop!"

It was as if an echo came from the soul. The spiritual crystal did not form a new water spiritual root, but touched and merged with Wei Zhong's innate spiritual root.

Wei Zhong's face did not change, and he controlled the Yuanshui beads, extending a black "ribbon" to float towards the illusory spiritual root body.

An invisible bridge was built between the two. The grade of the Yuanshui beads continued to fall, but the grade of the water spiritual root continued to rise...
