Chapter 352 Wind

"These bastards! They're treating the Diwu Palace like a monkey!"

Song Dongyang was so angry that he shook the table in front of him into powder with one palm.

Protector Li on the side felt the strong aura on the other party's body and was immediately frightened.

Almost everyone who can become the deputy hall master is a person who is expected to become a god.

His foundation and strength are far beyond those of ordinary Nascent Souls like him.

However, he was not as excited as Song Dongyang. Hearing this, he quickly said:

"Hall Master, is there any misunderstanding here? I don't think the ministers would go out of their way to fool the Hall Master."

"Is there any misunderstanding? I have asked them to learn from Cui Daqi, but what is the name of what they are learning? Are they trying to fool me?"

The more Song Dongyang talked, the angrier he became.

Protector Li said:

"Why do you think about it too much, Lord? There will be a meeting later. Why don't you ask them directly?"

Song Dongyang's expression softened slightly after hearing Protector Li's words.

After pondering for a moment, he snorted, with a hint of anger in his tone:

"Okay! If they don't give me a reasonable reason this time, I have to let them..."

…

Wanfa Peak.

Wang Ba, who has recently been busy cultivating spiritual beasts and took a few days off, is not thinking about the spiritual beasts at this moment. Instead, he is quietly feeling the Tanzhong point on his chest, which is the so-called 'middle Dantian' position.

There, a short knife slowly rose and fell.

Feel the blocked aura of this short sword.

A smile appeared on Wang Ba's face:

"The magical weapon of destiny is finally completed."

These days, he has been going back and forth between the Spiritual Food Department and the Beast Control Department, taking the time to refine the embryo of the magic weapon that Cui Daqi gave him little by little. Today, he finally successfully practiced it with the "One-Intention Qi Transformation Sword" technique. It became a natal magic weapon.

As soon as he mastered it, he felt connected with the dagger's mind, and could faintly feel a hint of spirituality in it.

This is not to say that the short sword is about to transform into a magic weapon.

But the third-level magic weapon is beginning to take on spirituality. If it is refined with magic power every day and lives are cultivated together, the spirituality will grow faster, until one day it will successfully transform into the true spirit of the magic weapon, which also means the birth of the magic weapon. .

Feeling the mana, blood fluctuations, and soul thoughts emanating from his body, pouring into the middle Dantian, and then being perfectly absorbed by the short knife, he nodded with confidence.

What he was most worried about was that it would affect his normal practice, but after feeling it for a while, he found that Ji Yuan was indeed right.

"This sword is now sealed... Do you want to sacrifice another one?"

Wang Ba thought for a while and finally rejected the idea.

With his current foundation, he can still bear another natal magic weapon.

But in fact, even adding another natal magic weapon is of little significance.

Because the mana, blood, essence, and soul power he can provide are limited.

Unless you cultivate one sword to the extreme and then cultivate the second one, it will completely slow down the progress.

It’s better to just take good care of it.

"If you have a chance, you can go to the market to see if there are any third-level top-quality knives for sale."

Wang Hao thought secretly in his heart.

The knife given by Cui Daqi could not be used for the time being, so he was missing a magic weapon that he could use.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to go out for the time being, and his requirements for magical weapons are not high, so he can slowly look for suitable ones.

Of course it can be slower, but it must be done.

As for the magic weapon, he wasn't too worried.

What bothered him was his practice.

"The resources for practicing the Five Elements in the Golden Core Realm have been exhausted, so I have to go to the Treasure House of All Things to redeem them... But if I have to do meritorious deeds, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."

Wang Hao frowned slightly.

The merits that can be generated by trading the essence of the second-level spiritual chicken are already very limited for him.

However, the number of third-level spiritual chickens has not reached a large scale yet. If they are refined into spiritual food now, the growth of the number will be delayed.

The appropriate way is to wait a little longer. It will take at most two or three years for the third-level spiritual chicken to increase in size.

Natural reproduction is enough to maintain his spiritual needs, and can even be used to exchange for merit.

There is no need to be like the bronze-bodied beasts of the Ministry of Beast Control, who often count by one or two hundred years.

"But... you can't go out too much."

Wang Hao thought in his heart.

Although he already has a high level of trust in the sect, he knows that human nature cannot withstand the test.

After all, there are only a few monks like Sumeru who are dedicated to the Tao and unmoved by external things.

Even if he reveals some secrets in front of his master and Qi Yan, it is only based on his sufficient understanding of their character.

And others... After all, people's hearts are separated from each other.

Therefore, third-level spiritual food can be used to solve urgent emergencies, but it cannot be used as a routine method.

"It's best to have a positive and reliable source of merit... Speaking of which, the deputy minister's identity card has not been issued yet."

Wang Ba also took the time to go to the Rende Hall to find out more.

The deputy minister's merit alone is worth 500 points every year.

In addition to meritorious deeds, there is a fixed share of regularly consumed resources such as spiritual food, elixirs, and talismans every ten years.

You can also use some secret realms, teleportation arrays, etc. for free. Of course, the time and number of times are limited.

Even so, such benefits far exceed those of deacons and others.

Therefore, the monks from various departments have worked hard for many years, all with this as their goal.

It is also for this reason that some people in the Ministry of Spiritual Food are still worried about Wang Yan's promotion to deputy minister.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people in the ministry and even Minister Cui Daqi were supporting Wang Yan, which was the general trend, I'm afraid some people would have been unable to bear it.

"However, five hundred points per year is still a bit low."

Wang Hao thought about it and shook his head slightly.

In the past, he could get hundreds of meritorious deeds every year just by selling the essence of the second-level spirit chicken. However, the resources needed for the golden elixir level were still far behind even if he was just cultivating the Five Elements.

According to his idea, if he records more than a thousand merit points a year, he can roughly maintain the practice of the Five Elements.

But if you add the wind and thunder attributes, which are much more valuable than the five elements, then it's completely impossible to tell.

"Speaking of which, if these new spiritual food recipes pass the review, they should have a total of more than 100,000 meritorious deeds..."

"This is a big deal, and it's also a way to gain merit."

"Compared with refining the soul chicken essence to exchange for merit, it is much faster and safer, but I am a little worried that the sect will discover this loophole... I don't want to say so much, let's make some money first."

"Furthermore, Feng, Lei, and Yuanci should also be put on the agenda."

His realm has been basically stable and he can start incorporating other techniques.

"Master asked me to practice Shenxiu Peak's wind-attribute skills first... then I will follow Master's recommendation."

Wang Ba thought for a while and quickly made a decision.

After thinking for a while, he immediately left Wanfa Peak.

…

"call--"

Shenxiu Peak.

It is surrounded by strong winds all year round.

In front of a cliff on the peak.

Liang Zhongkang, dressed in ocher clothes, sat cross-legged and let the strong wind blow around him.

In front of him, a round golden elixir kept spinning in the strong wind.

On the golden elixir, faint patterns appear.

Accompanied by a long cry.

The golden elixir seemed to be sensing something, and it spun rapidly, and a cyan cyclone suddenly floated around it.

But soon, the cyan cyclone suddenly began to fluctuate, sometimes getting larger and sometimes smaller, as if it was about to collapse at any time.

Liang Zhongkang's expression suddenly changed slightly.

The originally calm and peaceful state of mind was instantly broken, and there were waves in the inner lake.

Along with the ups and downs of his mood, the originally round golden elixir began to show faint uneven changes.

At this moment, a vague voice sounded leisurely:

"Movement of form does not produce form but shadow; movement of sound does not produce sound but produces sound; movement does not produce nothing but nothing but existence..."

This voice seemed to have a strange power, and in just an instant, Liang Zhongkang's originally ups and downs mood slowly calmed down.

The state of mind returned to peace, and the cyan cyclone outside the golden elixir also returned to its original shape and became regular.

After a few breaths, the golden elixir inhaled all the cyan cyclone.

Then the golden elixir shook and flew into Liang Zhongkang's mouth.

Liang Zhongkang closed his eyes and slowly digested the gains from this practice.

But in his ears, the empty voice sounded again.

"The trip to the Xihai Kingdom has given you a lot of training, and you have been lucky enough to achieve a first-grade golden elixir... But the first-grade golden elixir is only the starting point of practice, and you still need to work hard and avoid impetuousness."

Hearing this, Liang Zhongkang opened his eyes and saw the figure of a slender old man standing not far away with a calm expression.

Although it was a reminder, he could still hear a hint of relief in the other person's tone.

"Master!"

Feeling that the golden elixir in his body was gradually stabilizing, Liang Zhongkang couldn't help but jump up, with a trace of unconcealable joy on his face:

"Haha, I have finally mastered the first of the six wind-riding warriors!"

His frivolous performance immediately made the old man frown slightly:

"What did I tell you, be careful not to be impetuous."

"Yes! Master!"

When Liang Zhongkang heard this, he quickly said seriously.

Immediately, he couldn't help but smile.

Being able to master the first of the six Chengfeng Yus shortly after entering the Golden Core is very rare in Shenxiu Peak, and it can be said to be a double blessing.

He has an outgoing temper. Although he was taught a lesson by his master, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

Subconsciously, I want to find someone familiar to show off.

He couldn't help but said: "Master, I want to go out and play with Uncle Xi... give me some advice."

With that said, he hurriedly left in the wind.

However, he soon found that he was suddenly blocked by an invisible and colorless wave.

Liang Zhongkang suddenly turned to look at the old man in astonishment.

The old man's face was expressionless, and his empty voice slowly sounded:

"There's no need to look for it. I'm afraid your Uncle Xi doesn't have time to play with you. He has gone into seclusion now and is attacking the Nascent Soul."

Liang Zhongkang couldn't help being stunned when he heard this:

"Attack Nascent Soul?"

A trace of nervousness appeared subconsciously on his face:

"So, Master Xi, are you ready?"

The old man shook his head slightly: "Who can say for sure about the breakthrough in practice. I saw that his state of mind was still a little lacking before, but now that he has practiced hard, he may have solved the problem."

As he said that, he looked at Liang Zhongkang and said seriously:

"Although you have mastered the first imperial guard, this imperial guard is also the foundation of the six imperial guards of Chengfeng. You have only mastered it after entering the golden elixir realm, so you are not very good at it. Don't think how powerful you are and get carried away with yourself. Neglect."

Liang Zhongkang heard this and said disapprovingly:

"Master, isn't what we pay attention to in Chengfeng Liuyu? Several senior brothers and sisters in the peak only mastered the first Yu in the middle and late stages of Jindan. What's wrong with me being proud?"

After hearing Liang Zhongkang's words, although the old man had similar thoughts in his mind, he still couldn't help but hit him with words:

"What a frog in the well! Your great master easily understood the first method of defense in the early stage of foundation building, and swept through the same level with it, but he was not as arrogant as you! Following your heart only allows you to release your nature, not to let you release it. Bad habit!"

Liang Zhongkang couldn't help but look stunned, with a hint of shock in his eyes:

"Early stage of foundation building? Grand Master? How is this possible? Why didn't I listen to you, Master?"

"It's not just to take care of mediocre people like you. I don't say it out loud so that you won't feel frustrated and stop moving forward."

The old man shook his head and sighed.

It seems to be lamenting that one generation is not as good as the other.

Liang Zhongkang couldn't help but think of the Grand Master's figure in his mind, and he suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable.

Taishizu holds the position of the head of Tianyuan Hall. Although she is a woman, she is majestic and solemn.

Even Liang Zhongkang, who was fearless in nature, was still very frightened in front of the other party.

When I think that the opponent can understand the first defense in the early stage of foundation building, I feel that it is natural.

But thinking of this, the excitement originally generated by further advancement in cultivation realm and skills was suddenly extinguished.

He hesitated and said:

"Then I'll go and discuss with my senior brothers..."

"The gap between you and your senior brothers is too big. Even if you compete with each other, you won't learn anything. Let's polish it first."

The old man said softly.

Liang Zhongkang was about to say something.

Suddenly, I heard a faintly familiar voice coming from the strong wind around me:

"The queen of Wanfa Peak came to Wang Ba and asked to see Uncle Ge, the master of Shenxiu Peak."

"Are you looking for Master?"

The old man frowned slightly.

But Liang Zhongkang couldn't help being stunned.

"Is it...Wang Ba? Why did he come to see Master?"

In his heart, he subconsciously recalled a series of news he learned after waking up from a coma a few years ago.

There was a lot of news, but the one that still remains fresh in his mind.

Wang Ba of Wanfa Peak, whom he had never thought highly of before, actually saved Xi Wushang, Ji Yuan and others whom he admired.

Even his own luck in surviving was indirectly related to the other party.

This news was completely unacceptable to Liang Zhongkang.

Even if Uncle Xi personally confirmed it, he was still dubious.

Without him, he felt that he was already the top existence in the foundation building realm.

But if you want to deal with an early-stage Jindan cultivator, you still need to use all your strength.

It was really hard for him to imagine that a foundation-building monk could actually turn the tide in such a scene.

Although he believed in Uncle Xi, he believed in his own experience even more.

But just for a moment, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Wang Ba is powerful enough to defeat the Golden Core. It hasn't been long since I entered the Golden Core... If I put it this way, if I fight against him and win, won't it prove that he is not that powerful?"

"Well...he is kind to me, that's all. As long as I am sure that I can defeat him, I will pretend to be defeated. This can be regarded as taking care of his face. I am really thinking more and more thoughtfully."

He secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the old man say:

"I'm going to see what's going on. You should practice well here. Remember, don't..."

"Don't be impetuous and impetuous. I know. Master, please go ahead!"

Liang Zhongkang was the first to say what the old man wanted to say, and said with a smile.

Hearing this, the old man glared at Liang Zhongkang angrily.

Immediately, there was no time to say anything more. With a flick of his long sleeves, the whole person turned into a ball of breeze, melted between heaven and earth, and then disappeared.

Looking at the old man's methods, Liang Zhongkang couldn't help but have a flash of envy and yearning in his eyes.

After a slight hesitation, he quickly flew to the top of the mountain using the wind.

…

"The queen of Wanfa Peak came to Wang Ba and asked to see Uncle Ge, the master of Shenxiu Peak."

The clear voice reached the Shenxiu Peak in front of him.

Wang Ba stood in front of the Shenxiu Peak wrapped in the strong wind, his eyes calm and calm.

He once came to Shenxiu Peak with Yao Wudi and visited the master of Shenxiu Peak, so he had some impressions of this place.

The Shenxiu Peak here inherits the extremely rare wind attribute technique "Six Controls of the Wind".

Similar to the situation he encountered before, although he had entered Chengfeng Liuyu, he was completely unable to practice.

The main problem here is that he does not have wind spirit roots.

This is a prerequisite for practicing the "Six Controls of Riding the Wind".

In response to this problem, Wanfamai has already thought of a solution, which is to open up a new Dantian.

As for the spiritual object that can give birth to wind spirit roots, Yao Wudi has already prepared it for Wang Ba.

It is a rare treasure called "Wind Calling Chime" that was born naturally from heaven and earth.

It looks like a magic weapon, with the ability to call wind.

But it's not a magic weapon.

To be precise, it is a treasure between a magic weapon and a spiritual object.

Even if Wang Ba doesn't have wind magic power, he can summon a third-level wind evil with astonishing power at will.

Of course, precisely because it is not a magic weapon, although it can attract wind evil, it cannot control it.

Therefore, for monks, this is a rather useless thing.

However, it is of no great use to others, but for Wang Yan, it is perfect.

Wind spiritual objects are extremely rare, and treasures that can be used to open up wind spiritual roots are even more rare.

Of course, it is not as easy as before to open up the wind spirit root Dantian. It is also necessary to have a monk who has mastered the wind magic power to help infuse the magic power to have a chance to form a second Dantian.

Yes, just a chance.

The Wind Spiritual Root is different from the Five Elements Spiritual Root. It has a unique nature and is extremely unstable. The Dantian created is also very prone to collapse.

Even monks who have been practicing for many years can easily lose control when faced with such a Dantian.

This is also the difficulty of wind spirit root cultivation.

But Wang Yan was not too worried.

Wanfamai has long studied the wind spirit root, and also has some understanding of the reasons for the failure to open the second dantian.

The main reason is that the mana control is weak, so that when the wind mana assisting the pioneer passes through the monk's body, it is difficult to control it, which leads to the failure of the pioneer.

On this point, Wan Dharma Meridian has abundant experience.

It can condense the foundation of the Five Elements, and basically there won't be any big problems with mana control.

What's more, Wang Yan's attainments in mana control can be said to be unparalleled compared to many people who have developed the wind spirit root Dantian.

So he wasn't worried.

The only worry is whether the peak master of Shenxiu Peak will be like the Chi Lie Spring of Huoyun Peak.

And soon.

In the strong wind, a subtle and condensed voice came:

"Master Nephew Wang, please come in."

There was a hint of politeness in his tone that surprised Wang Yan.

Along with the sound, a cyclone vortex appeared in the strong wind.

Wang Ba's heart moved, and then he flew into the whirlpool.

I just feel like flowers are blooming in front of my eyes.

Looking again, I saw a huge mountain peak standing upright that was blown by the strong wind and no grass could grow.

There is no longer any greenery on the mountain peaks, only the rounded mountains and stone walls standing high in the sky.

Just as he was wondering, he saw a fat middle-aged monk approaching with a smile and two walnuts in his hand.

He immediately recognized the identity of the other party, it was Ge Shoucheng, the current peak leader of Shenxiu Peak.

He quickly bowed and saluted:

"Disciple Wang Ba, I have met Master Ge."

"Haha, there is no need to be polite, nephew. I have been waiting for you in this beautiful peak for a long time."

Ge Shoucheng said with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he tilted his head slightly and raised his hand, making an invitation gesture.

Wang Yan was flattered for a moment, and quickly stepped forward, one position behind the opponent, and said curiously:

"Uncle Ge has really embarrassed his disciples, but why does he have to wait for his disciples?"

Ge Shoucheng gently bowed in one direction in the sky without hiding anything, and said with a smile:

"It was Master who personally ordered it."

Wang Hao looked in the direction of the other party's salute, and when he heard Ge Shoucheng's words, his heart suddenly shook.

The master of Shenxiu Peak?

The master of Tianyuan Hall, Lu Zhuangmei?

…

The Hall of Earthly Things.

As usual, there is another monthly meeting.

The ministers of each department sat cross-legged behind desks on both sides of the palace with different expressions.

Soon, Song Dongyang, the deputy master of the Diwu Palace, strode in with a calm expression.

The atmosphere suddenly became slightly solemn.

Stand on the platform above the temple.

Song Dongyang looked around and nodded slightly. A smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious face:

"Everyone's supplies for this month have been supplied. Dongyang is here to represent the hall master and thank you for your recent hard work."

Hearing Song Dongyang's words, smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of the ministers below who were originally slightly solemn.

"Everywhere, it all depends on the guidance of the palace master..."

Everyone laughed and cheered from below.

"Well, okay, it's the same three things this time..."

After some speeches.

"...This third..."

Song Dongyang was talking.

But suddenly, a figure stood up on the spot, bowed slightly, and said politely:

"Deputy Palace Master of the Song Dynasty, Qi Yan, Minister of the Beast Control Department, has something to report."

"Um?"

Song Dongyang was slightly startled, but considering that the other party was one of the three ministers who rarely cooperated with him, he was not angry even though he was interrupted.

Curious: "What is Minister Qi doing?"

Qi Yan said in a deep voice:

"It's still an old matter. The Beast Control Department is short of manpower. I request that Wang Ba be transferred to the Beast Control Department."

The words just fell.

Among the monks behind the desks on both sides, a figure suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"The Beast Control Department is short of people, and my Spiritual Food Department is also short of people. What's more, Wang Yan is the deputy minister here. When he went to your Beast Control Department, he was just a deacon. Just for the sake of your Beast Control Department, he let Wang Ba is damaged, why are you so selfish?"

Facing Cui Daqi's questioning, Qi Yan looked calm:

"Minister Cui, please don't confuse things. Wang Hao holds two important positions at the same time. He is a deacon in our beast control department, which does not affect his position as deputy minister in the spiritual food department... What's more, who said that in the beast control department, he can only serve for deacon?"

When Cui Daqi heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly:

"Your Beast Control Department has just added a deputy director. In such a short period of time, there will be no more deputy director vacancies for you, right?"

Qi Yan shook his head slightly, and then took out a deputy minister's identity tag from the storage artifact in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

He said in a deep voice:

"Sang Gongyang, Deputy Minister of the Animal Control Department, please resign from the position of Deputy Minister." (End of this chapter)
