Chapter 133: Entertaining Guests
Wei Zhong had not been able to practice for more than a month, and a fluctuation in the formation interrupted Wei Zhong's progress.
After coming out of seclusion, Wei Zhong was a little surprised to see the figure outside the formation.
Activating the formation, Wei Zhong said to the female cultivator outside the formation:
"It turns out to be Miss Shan."
‘Why did the other party come to this corner of my house if he doesn’t deal with the matter in the secret realm? ’
Wei Zhong heard from Xu Xuan that this trip to the secret realm was led by the Gathering Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Zhong didn't understand his behavior of coming to Qingbo Island alone.
However, as the head of the family, Wei Zhong still led him to Spirit Island to receive him.
"It's really touching that my Taoist friend has already formed elixir after not seeing him for decades."
Shan Qin looked at Wei Zhong with traces of memories in his eyes.
In the past, Shan Qin had never thought that a monk with ordinary talent like Wei Zhong could enter the realm of elixir formation.
But I didn't expect that the other party would use the accumulation of resources to abruptly improve their own qualifications.
Supplemented by a large amount of cultivation resources, he finally entered the early stage of elixir formation.
In terms of cultivation, it is now just a step behind my own earthly spiritual roots.
"It's just a matter of stacking resources and a little luck," Wei Zhong said.
Shan Qin nodded slowly.
‘Although Wei Zhong has luckily entered the early stage of pill formation with the method of Qianjun Heavy Water Spirit Body, if he cannot find enough Ten Thousand Spirit Water Stones, his path of cultivation will probably come to an end and he will be completely trapped in the realm of pill formation.
But I am different. In a few years, I will be able to successfully break through to the late stage of pill formation and start preparing for the matter of condensing the baby.
If he fails to become a Nascent Soul, he will eventually turn into withered bones in a hundred years. It is really a pity that the other party has the talent to refine alchemy. ’
Recalling Wei Zhong's achievements over the years, Shan Qin suddenly felt a sense of regret.
"If Miss Shan doesn't go to that mysterious land this time, how can she have time to come to Pindao Island?"
Shan Qin smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Wei is very familiar with that secret realm?"
Wei Zhong shook his head:
"I just have some interactions with Zhigang Palace, so I know a little bit about it.
A few years ago, everyone knew that Zhigang Palace suffered heavy losses due to the secret realm.
He almost lost his Taoist authority to others. It was during this incident that Pindao made a deal with Zhigang Palace and obtained a body-refining method that satisfied me..."
Wei Zhong talked eloquently and told what he had learned, except that he covered up some parts that were inconvenient to reveal to others.
Such a detailed description is to remove himself from Zhigang Palace.
It shows that Wei Zhong is a trader in Zhigang Palace, rather than the role of "honorary alchemist".
The news of the secret realm leaked by Zhigang Palace will inevitably arouse the anger of the Wang family. Wei Zhong didn't want to offend a Yuanying family like this.
Shan Qin also knew the purpose of Wei Zhong's words.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei, as my guest at the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely not let Fellow Daoist be implicated in such an incident.
However, Taoist friends will still keep a certain distance from Zhigang Palace in the future.
Regardless of whether this exploration of the secret realm succeeds or fails, Zhigang Palace will be reduced to an embarrassing situation, and fellow Taoists should not fall into it. "
Wei Zhong nodded.
“The great formation in the secret realm is extraordinary, even gathering part of the strength of the four families will take a lot of effort.
The Nascent Soul of the Wang family is still looking for a way to break the formation. I have Aunt Miao to take care of me at the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, so I have time to take the time to express condolences to Fellow Daoist Wei. "
Speaking of this, Shan Qin took out a jade slip.
Wei Zhong was slightly confused when he saw this, then he saw the other party and continued:
"The sect is very optimistic about the progress of fellow Taoist alchemy, so we specially sent him here to give you this alchemy inheritance."
Wei Zhong looked surprised. Is the Yunji Chamber of Commerce finally willing to give out actual rewards?
After picking up the jade slip, Wei Zhong immediately penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After browsing for a while, you can see that what Shan Qin said is true, and it is indeed an inheritance of alchemy.
Unfortunately, it is still an orthodox method of refining elixirs by fire, but the description is detailed and comes with multiple elixir recipes, which is pretty good.
"I heard that what Taoist fellow Taoist is refining is a partial water alchemy method. Unfortunately, there is no such high-level alchemy inheritance within the Chamber of Commerce. I can only take a relatively complete fire alchemy method for Taoist friends to understand," Shan Qin said with a few points. Regret said.
Wei Zhong said with a smile:
"Ms. Shan's words are serious. The fact that the Chamber of Commerce can come up with this kind of inheritance method is enough to show the importance it attaches to me.
I would like to thank you for this! "
Wei Zhong cupped his hands and thanked him.
"With the ability to understand this method, I will have the confidence to reach the level of a fourth-level alchemist within a hundred years."
"Oh, then I would like to congratulate Fellow Daoist Wei in advance!"
Shan Qin did not expect that Wei Zhong was so confident that he would be able to break through in less than a hundred years.
You must know that among the currently gathered chambers of commerce, there are only a handful of fourth-level masters, especially in the particularly difficult categories of alchemy and formation.
After Wei Zhong complimented a few words, he brought the topic to the secret realm.
"The four major Nascent Soul forces have joined forces during this trip. Could it be that there are four Nascent Souls coming to Luohe Mansion?"
Shan Qin shook his head:
"No. This time, I am the only one from the Gathering Chamber of Commerce and the Wang Family who each have a Nascent Soul. The other two companies, the Shadow Moon Sect and the Scarlet Flame Society, are led by Jiedan."
Then he told Wei Zhong these details, which immediately made Wei Zhong amazed.
"Senior Nascent Soul with such a unique temperament is rare."
Shan Qin also nodded in agreement.
Suddenly there was a fluctuation outside the formation, and Wei Zhong's consciousness spread away, only to see another "acquaintance" arrive.
‘This is really about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will come. ’
The person who came was none other than Wanyanfu, a disciple of Ruowu Taoist.
Wei Zhong didn't know why the other party came here, but he still opened the formation and led him here.
A figure in a red Taoist robe fell from the sky. Wei Zhong felt the other party's elixir-forming aura and nodded secretly.
‘The other party was in the late stage of foundation building many years ago, and his spiritual root qualifications are much better than mine. If you can successfully form a pill within this period of time, there is no reason for the other party not to break through this realm.
It's a pity that if you are hostile to him in the future, you have to use the [Time Dao Technique] to be safe. ’
Wei Zhong felt a little regretful.
When Wanyanfu landed below, he was a little surprised to see Shan Qin's figure.
There was a natural trace of fear in his eyes.
As early as decades ago, Shan Qin was building the core, while Wanyanfu was still struggling to build the foundation.
He offended all his peers, but he did not dare to offend Shan Qin.
Strictly speaking, Shan Qin and senior brother Wanyanfu were monks of the same age, but even that proud and arrogant senior brother had to bow his head in front of the other person.
How could this not make Wanyanfu afraid?
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Wanyan, long time no see!"
Wei Zhong stood up and greeted him.
"Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong, have you met this person?" Shan Qin asked through a message.
Wei Zhong then sent a message to inform him of some unpleasant things that had happened to him before.
Of course, he concealed what he had done secretly.
After Shan Qin heard this, he suddenly understood.
Wanyanfu didn't have much expression on his face and returned the favor:
"I was really surprised to hear that fellow Taoist monks had successfully formed elixirs many years ago."
Wanyanfu was naturally very consistent about Wei Zhong's casual cultivation of elixirs.
‘As for myself, the elixir formation time is even later than that of the other party, which is really unworthy of my spiritual roots. ’
"It was just a fluke."
"I heard that Taoist friend is very familiar with Zhigang Palace?"
Hearing this inquiry, Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, Shan Qin beside him spoke up to defend Wei Zhong:
"What does Fellow Daoist Wanyan mean by this? Fellow Daoist Wei is a guest of our Chamber of Commerce, and has nothing more than a business relationship with Na Zhi Gang!"
Wanyanfu raised his brows, he was surprised that Shan Qin defended a trade minister like this.
‘Shan Qin is visiting here alone, does he still have some personal relationship with this alchemist? ’
"Fellow Taoist Shan Qin has misunderstood. I am just asking out of curiosity."
Wei Zhong saw that the situation had calmed down and sat down to chat with the two of them.
After hearing that Wei Zhong had learned a body-refining method from Gang Palace, Wanyan Fu said:
"Fellow Taoist can actually exchange for the "Forging Method" of Zhigang Palace?"
Wei Zhong raised his head and asked with some confusion:
"Why, is this Zhigang Palace's method very famous?"
Both of them nodded.
"Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't know something. There are thousands of body-refining methods in this world, but there are only a few who can reach the fourth or even fifth level.
"Forging Gang Method" is a very special category among them, and it is somewhat famous even in Yunzhou City. "
‘No wonder Xu Xuan recommended this method to me at the beginning, but since this method is so famous, why hasn’t it been taken over by those Nascent Soul forces in Yunzhou? ’
As if seeing Wei Zhong's doubts, Shan Qin added:
“Although this method is powerful, it is only a fourth-level method, at most comparable to the realm of Nascent Soul.
Moreover, this method is dependent on the existence of spiritual methods, which is suspected of delaying the process of spiritual practice.
Instead of practicing such a body-refining technique, it would be more cost-effective to practice your own spiritual skills and have a baby as soon as possible. "
Wei Zhong understood that he did not notice the drag on practicing this technique, probably because he accumulated too many resources.
There are a lot of spiritual things that restore spiritual power, and there are also elixirs made from ten thousand years of elixir to speed up the practice, which produced such an effect.
"Fellow Daoist Shan is right. Although this method is indeed somewhat unique, which of our four families doesn't have a few special body training methods?
Don't commit any crime that robs others of their moral integrity. "
Shan Qin also nodded with deep understanding:
"However, this method is indeed a good body-refining method, and it is understandable that Fellow Daoist Wei can use it to enhance his strength."
Shan Qin looked at Wei Zhong with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
'Wei Zhong probably practiced body training in order to increase his strength because he was unable to advance. ’
Wei Zhong naturally didn't know what he was thinking, but after hearing what the two said, he also valued the "Forging Gang Method" a little more.
"Ha, after a hundred years of practicing this technique to refine the body, it can't compare to a body-protecting spiritual armor. Even its technique of protecting the Nascent Soul is useless in front of the treasure armor."
Wanyanfu's words were indeed rich and powerful, at least Wei Zhong had never heard of this magical weapon that protected the Nascent Soul.
‘I can’t help but think of Yu Jue, the opponent who blocked his shocking stab. Could it be that this special magical weapon has become the standard equipment for a large number of disciples? ’
"However, Fellow Daoist Wei is now practicing dual cultivation of Dharma and Body, which makes me very curious. I wonder if I can learn from this Taoist practice?"
Wanyanfu's eyes were full of eagerness to try.
‘Senior brother went to Fengzhou to challenge and gain experience, so I can’t fall behind even if I form the elixir now. ’
Wei Zhong didn't know why the other party suddenly had the intention to challenge him.
But then I thought about the domineering power that swept through the same ranks of Luohe Mansion when he was building the foundation, and I thought about rejecting him.
It's not that he doesn't dare, but it's not that this matter is of any benefit to Wei Zhong.
"I have little strength, so how can I be my opponent to fellow Taoist Wanyan..."
The words are full of evasion.
Wanyanfu was unwilling to give up, which gave Wei Zhong a headache.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you might as well give it a try. I will watch over you and I will not put you in any danger."
Looking at the slightly expectant look on Shan Qin's face, Wei Zhong suddenly felt bad.
'The other party also wants to take this opportunity to test his strength. '
In desperation, Wei Zhong had to agree.
The three of them left the island and fled for a hundred miles before stopping above a mountain forest.
"Please show mercy, fellow Daoist Wanyan!"
Wei Zhong bowed his hands and said.
"Haha, let's talk after the fight!"
The latter laughed and took out his own magic weapon.
It was a treasure fan with three-color spiritual light, as long as an adult's forearm, with black, red and blue mysterious light spreading on it.
Wei Zhong knew its power was extraordinary at a glance.
Wanyan Fu waved the treasure fan at Wei Zhong, and a green fire wave swept over.
Wei Zhong did not dare to be careless, and the black spiritual water climbed up to form a black spiritual clothes.
Although the Yuanshuizhu was still being nurtured, even without its blessing, the [Black Water Spiritual Clothes] still had a good power.
Wanyan Fu saw the black spiritual light coming out of Wei Zhong from a distance, his eyes flickered, and there was a hint of violence, but it calmed down in an instant.
‘There are countless spiritual methods in the world, and the color of spiritual power does not mean anything, and the other party has only recently entered the Jindan realm. ’
Just as Wanyan Fu thought, the person who attacked the other party was a Jindan.
And Wei Zhong has only succeeded in promotion in recent years, and there is a difference in cultivation. As long as he does not show some of the spiritual methods he used at the beginning, there will be no exposure.
Who would have thought that there is such a cross-border method in this world?
Looking seriously at the green fire wave in front of him, Wei Zhong pinched his fingers and activated the golden flame.
Fire against fire.
At the same time, wisps of black aura emerged from his body, circling around, adding a layer of protection.
Lifting the Xuanming Sword in his hand, Wei Zhong rushed directly towards the flames.
Since he planned to use less spiritual methods, he would try the power of this "Forging Gang Method".
‘Spiritual fire, no, this is a fire technique! ’
Wanyan Fu looked at the golden flames with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
‘Such a powerful spiritual fire technique is rare, at least it should be the third level, right? ’
Seeing a figure flying out from the two flames, Wanyan Fu was not surprised at all.
He waved the treasure fan for the second time in his hand slowly, and the red flames followed.
Shan Qin watched the two fighting from the side, staring at the treasure fan in Wanyan Fu's hand and shook his head.
‘The treasure fan in Wanyan Fu's hand is a real Yuanying magic weapon, with extraordinary power. Wei Zhong may suffer a loss on this. ’
At the same time, he was very disappointed. A good fight turned into a magic weapon competition, and it was impossible to tell the strength of the two.
Wei Zhong stared at another wave of fire in front of him with a solemn face.
He waved the Xuanming Sword in his hand and activated several magic runes on it.
As if a fish swimming through the waves, this sword passed through the flames and went straight to Wanyan Fu.
Shan Qin below saw this scene, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"This sword is extraordinary!"
