Chapter 151 Pressure
The two sides turned their hostility into friendship. Wei Zhong invited Wang Lihua and Song Linfang inside and prepared wine and tea.
Fill his glass himself:
"I just heard the news that senior Ning Ying failed. Pindao was still lamenting his bad luck, but now it seems like a joke."
"Does Fellow Daoist Wei have great confidence in me, Ning Ying?"
"Haha, the "Forging Gang Method" practiced by the seniors is extremely clever, and with the help of the Wang family, it would be unreasonable if it cannot be accomplished."
Wei Zhong praised both Song Linfang and the Wang family in one sentence, making the two people in front of him smile.
"Now that senior has succeeded in condensing the baby, it seems that the news was deliberately released by senior?"
Song Linfang nodded:
"Although my Zhigang Palace has developed rapidly in recent years, it is only supported by the news that I will be promoted to Nascent Soul, and it is bloated.
The Nascent Soul has just been formed, so it’s time to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.”
Wei Zhongshen thought so:
"It's true. In the past, the pills that poor Taoists sent to Zhigang Palace were almost stolen by Jie Xiu."
"Oh, is there anything else?"
Song Linfang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that something unexpected could happen related to the development of the sect.
"It seems that I did the right thing by revealing the false news this time. With me at Gang Palace in the future, such accidents will not happen. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Wei."
Wei Zhong just nodded, without much expression on his face.
"Although I heard what Fellow Daoist Wang said, Fellow Daoist Wei has a big background behind him, but I still have to ask. Has Fellow Daoist Wei joined me in Gang Palace and truly established himself as the alchemist of our sect?"
Wei Zhong was surprised for a moment when he heard this, but he handed it over in an instant:
"Senior, please forgive me!"
Song Linfang understood that Wei Zhong had refused and let out a sigh.
"Fellow Daoist Wei is really favored by the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, and he was able to obtain so many third-level puppets and matching puppet formations," Wang Lihua said with a bit of emotion and envy in his words.
The strength of each of these puppets is above their own strength. With this formation protecting them, how can they not be envious of them.
‘It seems that the other party thought that his puppets and formations were obtained from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. No wonder, who would have thought that not only would I obtain this complete inheritance, but I would also be able to refine a third-level puppet in just a few years.
If outsiders find out, they will be stunned and cause a lot of trouble. It is better to let this misunderstanding continue. ’
"No, no, it's just the love of seniors."
Wei Zhong laughed and said that his senior valued him, but he did not mention his name. No matter how much Wang Lihua made innuendo, he did not tell the details.
The latter had no choice but to give up and could only congratulate Wei Zhong for being recognized by his seniors and having a bright future from now on.
"Did Fellow Daoist Wei have already refined the fourth-level elixir?"
Song Linfang asked doubtfully.
Wei Zhong looked regretful:
"It's still a little short of that. The main reason is that I don't have enough ten thousand-year elixir in my hand and I lack the experience in refining the fourth-level elixir."
"Didn't the Yunji Chamber of Commerce raise one or two ten thousand-year elixirs for fellow Taoists?"
Wei Zhong replied with guilt:
"It's because I'm not good at studying."
Wei Zhong beat his chest and stamped his feet, seeming annoyed.
Song Linfang and Wang Lihua looked at each other and understood that Wei Zhong had probably wasted a lot of ten-thousand-year elixir.
"One day, Fellow Daoist Wei will be promoted to a fourth-level alchemy master. I must tell you in the next message. You can ask Fellow Daoist Wei for a few fourth-level elixirs."
"Definitely!"
Wei Zhong looked a little better.
Song Linfang was thinking in her heart:
'The elixir in my hand is rare. How can I leave the elixir refining to a novice like Wei Zhong? It is better to ask the Wang family. ’
The three of them talked about Wei Zhong's alchemy for a while, and Song Linfang then brought the topic to the puppet.
No matter how he asked, Wei Zhong's answers were all superficial and did not reveal any of the secrets of "Shen Yin Jue". Song Linfang had no way to do anything about it.
I just wanted to see if I could get this technique from the Wang family in the future as a way to protect the clan in Zhigang Palace.
Song Linfang is deeply aware of the power of the puppet array.
Just like the one on Qingbo Island, a few mid-level third-order puppets are enough to withstand the attack of the Danjie monks, which is an excellent way to protect the sect and establish a sect.
"Senior Song, by spreading the news about his failure in condensation, aren't you worried about something unexpected happening in Zhigang Palace?"
"Haha, I can sit here and drink tea, so I have made sufficient preparations. With the spiritual contract signed between me and those people, this Zhigang Palace cannot collapse."
"The sect is generally okay, but we are afraid that the rats will attack those close to our seniors," Wei Zhongyan said.
When Song Linfang heard this, her expression changed slightly. She was obviously worried about those people jumping over the wall. She turned around and looked at Wang Lihua:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, you might as well go back to Gang Palace for a visit, and use my 'last wish' to help suppress the turmoil in Gang Palace.
Don't ask fellow Taoists to help stabilize the situation, just protect the people close to me. "
Wang Lihua handed over:
"Senior, don't worry, even if it wasn't for senior's instructions, I, as Susu's master, would still do this."
Turning to look at Wei Zhong:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, I'm leaving now. I'll have a drink with you another day."
Wei Zhong cupped his hands in return.
Then he opened the formation, watched the opponent turn into a ray of light and left, and said with emotion:
"Senior Song Ning Ying's status is indeed extraordinary after his death. He can even control the Wang family's formation master like this."
"In front of outsiders, it's okay for Fellow Daoist Wei to call me "Senior", but in private, you and I should still call each other Fellow Daoist!"
"Then Wei, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"As for Wang Lihua, he was just sent by the Wang family to help me stabilize the situation in Zhigang Palace."
"Oh, I wonder what the connection is?"
Since Song Linfang mentioned this matter, it means that she is willing to share this information with Wei Zhong, whether it is to show off her connections or to declare the power of her Nascent Soul.
"Haha, the Wang family wanted to stretch their hands a little longer, and I happened to be Ning Ying at this time. He came to help, trying to expand the territory of power."
‘Expanding power, compared with Yunzhou City, Luohe Mansion is not a barren land, but it is still far inferior. Why should the king waste so much effort and spend a lot of money to support a Nascent Soul cultivator? ’
Wei Zhong was confused and asked following the voice:
"Could it be that the Wang family can no longer stay in Yunzhou City?"
Song Linfang's eyes were filled with emotion: "Fellow Daoist Wei knows a lot."
"I just heard that the Wang family does not have a Nascent Soul monk in charge, and is weaker than the two major forces of the Shadow Moon Sect and the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."
"That's right. Without the Nascent Soul cultivator, the Wang family can only be ranked as a second-rate force in Yunzhou City. Without the means to refine the body-building elixir, life would probably be even more miserable.
And as time goes by, these shortcomings become more and more prominent. Whenever an opportunity arises, the Wang family will have to lag behind these two forces to get a bite of meat.
Such a status has really made the Wang family feel aggrieved over the years. "
‘Sure enough, the world of cultivation is no different from the world of martial arts, even at the Nascent Soul level. ’
"But my Luohe Mansion doesn't have much value."
After staying in Luohe Mansion for nearly a hundred years, Wei Zhong already knew all aspects of it. There are only three or two large secret realms that can support the monks in this mansion. The Wang family wants to reach out to Luohe Mansion for development, which is really a bit wishful thinking.
"Who says there isn't? Don't we, Luohe Mansion, have a top secret realm?"
Wei Zhong was stunned.
······
Song Linfang didn't say much about this matter. She had a few words with Wei Zhong and then returned to Gang Palace to control the situation.
But after he left, Wei Zhong couldn't calm down for a long time.
"The top secret realm? The only one that can be called such a place is the place where the "Shen Yin Jue" inheritance was produced.
But didn't the four major forces develop it and then block it? "
Wei Zhong immediately noticed the problem.
Over time, the Nascent Soul forces develop secret realms. After eating the biggest bite of meat, they will make the secret realm public and let the remaining subordinate forces take a sip of soup.
However, something unexpected happened at this time.
All the cultivators thought that Nascent Soul's power was domineering, but they didn't think too much about it.
"Could it be that the secret realm has not been fully developed and there are greater opportunities in it?"
Wei Zhong pulled out "Shen Yin Jue". After browsing through it several times with his spiritual consciousness, he still couldn't get the result, so he could only pretend to guess:
"Could it be an opportunity to become a god?"
The fifth-level puppet described in "Shen Yin Jue" made Wei Zhong couldn't help but think in this direction.
The more he thought about this matter, the more Wei Zhong felt that his guess was most likely correct.
"Trouble, trouble, with this secret realm here, how can Luohe Mansion live in peace?
The four major forces are currently only sealing off the secret realm, probably preparing for later exploration. Once preparations are completed, new turmoil will surely arise. "
Wei Zhong felt an increasingly headache.
'I just want to find a place to practice well, and enter the realm of Nascent Soul and even God Transformation as soon as possible. I don't want to get involved in this matter, but troublesome things are hitting me one after another. ’
Whether it is in Mangyuan Mansion or Luohe Mansion, they will not be able to settle down for many years.
Wei Zhong sighed and took out several pill bottles.
Among them are the fourth-level elixirs that I have refined over the years and the third-level elixirs of the upper and middle grades. If you get them from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, you can exchange them for a lot of precious resources.
"Elixirs are exchanged for elixirs, and spiritual stones are constantly being regenerated. I still have a large number of Chamber of Commerce contribution points in my hand. I can't exchange them for fourth-level resources, but there is no problem with some third-level resources."
Wei Zhong plans to vigorously develop the method of puppet refining.
This time Song Linfang intended to rush into the formation, letting Wei Zhong know that the formation that could only defend against the formation of pills was not safe enough, and at least it had to resist the Nascent Soul.
Otherwise, Qingbo Island would become a garden where Nascent Soul can come and go freely.
Collecting the elixir in his hand, Wei Zhong went to Yunji Chamber of Commerce and asked for an appointment with Yan Wanhong.
Xu Xuan's status is still a bit insufficient. The other party cannot handle such a large amount of spiritual items, so he still has to find Shan Qin's confidants.
Less than half a month later, Yan Wanhong came to see him.
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Wei is looking for me so urgently?"
Wei Zhong took a jade slip and stated his request, and then showed the storage bag in his hand, but did not show it to the other party.
Yan Wanhong was shocked by what Wei Zhong said.
"Fellow Taoist, I don't have the authority to decide on this transaction share. I have to leave it to the lady to decide."
Wei Zhong frowned, then nodded:
"Then please convey this to fellow Taoist Yan."
Yan Wanhong said goodbye and left. He didn't even take the storage bag Wei Zhong took out, but only took away the jade slips with the information on the spiritual objects.
Although Yan Wanhong didn't check it, he guessed what was in the storage bag. These things were a bit hot, and Yan Wanhong doubted that he would be able to bring them back to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce alive.
This time Wei Zhong waited even longer. It took half a year before a tall figure appeared above Qingbo Island.
The other party was wearing a light green robe with a slit at the hem that reached down to his thighs.
Wei Zhong opened the formation channel, let him in, and handed Zheng Sheng:
"I've met Senior Miao!"
The visitor was none other than Miaoli Shan.
When the other party saw Wei Zhong, there was something strange in his eyes:
"You are quite proud. A transaction requires me, the Nascent Soul cultivator, to take action."
"Excuse me, senior," Wei Zhong raised his hand and held up a fourth-level Earth Mysterious Pill, trying to bribe this person.
His alchemy skills are becoming more and more mature. As long as there is enough elixir supply for the fourth-level elixir, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can be mass-produced.
There is no harm in spending a pill to establish a good relationship with a Yuanying monk. Besides, the other party is quite close to Shan Qin and must have an extraordinary status in the chamber of commerce.
The other party waved and pushed the elixir back into Wei Zhong's hand:
"No need for these small tricks, I also accepted a mission from the Chamber of Commerce, and I am paid by the Chamber of Commerce, so it is not a wasted trip.
Where are the things? Take them out! "
Wei Zhong was not afraid of the other party's unruly behavior and took out his storage bag containing spiritual objects.
After the latter took it, his consciousness penetrated, there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes, he exhaled and said:
"With such a rich net worth, I, a Nascent Soul cultivator, want to rob you."
"Senior is laughing at me. How can something like this from this junior come into my eyes?"
The other party waved and threw out a storage bag: "Okay, stop talking so much, bring me the token."
Wei Zhong handed over his token, and at the same time took the storage bag given by the other party and began to check the spiritual objects in it. After careful inventory, confirm that it meets your needs.
When he raised his head, Miaoli Shan had already returned the token and threw it into Wei Zhong's hand.
Wei Zhong sighed deeply as he saw the contribution points recorded on it change from six digits to single digits.
‘It’s like going back to before liberation in one day! ’
"If there is still such a large-scale transaction in the future, don't look for Yan Wanhong again. It's not safe."
"That······"
"Just look for me."
Miaolishan took out a jade token that was somewhat similar to Wei Zhong's and shook it. The guest token in Wei Zhong's hand suddenly lit up with a light spot.
Wei Zhong penetrated his consciousness and found someone greeting him.
It is undoubtedly Miaoli fir.
Only then did Wei Zhong remember that the guest token had the ability to make trade connections.
"Please take care of me, Senior Miao, in the future."
"It's easy to talk about. I can still get a lot of benefits from this deal with you, so I can ask Master Wei to take care of me in the future," Miaoli Shan replied with a smile.
Wei Zhong secretly lamented that the other party didn't have much Yuanying airs.
"Your formation is quite good. After acquiring the "Shen Yin Jue", your puppets have also improved a lot, right?"
Miaoli Shan looked up at the formation aura above and said this.
"With the help of weapon refining experience, it's not bad."
"Haha," Qi Pi chuckled twice, obviously not believing what Wei Zhong said.
