Chapter 154: Clear Mind
"It's finally done!"
Wei Zhong looked at the five brand-new five-color puppets in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face.
In a total of seven years, Wei Zhong exhausted almost all the spiritual materials exchanged from Yunji Chamber of Commerce, and also invested a lot of his own inventory, and finally succeeded in refining five puppets in the late stage of pill formation.
This cost a lot of money, and the theoretical value was at least worth three silver puppets, slightly exceeding Wei Zhong's estimate.
"But it's all worth it!"
Wei Zhong went out to the battle, and with the assistance of Ling Ziwei, he retrieved the five mid-stage pill formation puppets, and then absorbed his distraction from them, and suddenly felt that his consciousness had increased.
"In seven years, the intensity of my consciousness has increased by about 20%, and this is just the improvement brought about by six puppets."
Wei Zhong felt more and more horrified by the "God-Splitting Technique".
"However, this method does not have an upper limit. With the strength of my consciousness, dividing into ten paths is the limit. In order to ensure smooth practice, it is better to maintain the maximum number of distractions in six paths, and then increase the number of distractions after reaching the later stage of pill formation."
Thinking like this, Wei Zhong spent another half a year, channeling his consciousness into the silver puppet and the new Five Elements Puppet one by one.
Looking at the eleven puppets in front of him, Wei Zhong murmured:
"The Five Elements puppets are ranked according to their grades. The mid-term of the third grade can be called B-3, and the late-stage is called A-3. After that, the five elements are added, and that is A-3 gold, A-3 wood...
As for this special silver-white puppet, it is better to call it Yinxuan. "
After naming several puppets with code names, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion and, with the assistance of Ling Ziwei, put ten puppets of five colors into the formation.
The power of the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation has been enhanced again.
Looking at the increasingly fierce killing formation, Ling Ziwei finally knew what Wei Zhong had been tinkering with in the past few years.
"Husband, can such a large formation really defeat Nascent Soul?"
After Wei Zhong considered it for a while, he slowly said:
"It is indeed described in that inheritance, but this formation still lacks five third-level high-grade magic weapons, so its power is still insufficient."
It was not easy for Wei Zhong to refine five puppets in seven years.
At the same time, in order to ensure daily practice, there is simply not enough time to refine the magic weapon.
More importantly, Wei Zhong did not have enough spiritual materials. Not to mention the five-handle third-grade high-grade one, even the refining mid-grade one is quite difficult.
Wei Zhong once again realized deeply that the puppet technique was a gold-swallowing beast.
‘I still have to sell a batch of elixirs in exchange for some materials. ’
"From what my husband said, it seems that this formation is not too far away from Nascent Soul's combat power?"
Wei Zhong nodded:
"It's almost the same, but it's still some distance away from Nascent Soul. At most, it plays the role of guarding the spirit island. Without the ability to take the initiative, it can only drive the enemy ten miles away."
Despite Wei Zhong's remarks, Ling Ziwei's eyes were filled with excitement.
You must know that the entire Luohe Prefecture does not have such a powerful guardian array. For those Danjie families or small forces, the guardian array can at best resist the Danjie monks in the early and mid-term.
Even the most powerful Jinguang Pavilion and Zhigang Palace's protective formations are no match for those in the later stages of pill formation.
Wei Zhong only saw Nascent Soul level in the original Qingmu Sect. However, according to Tantai Lin, most of the power of its formation is suppressed and enhanced by some kind of secret treasure.
After it was removed, it was only at the level of the core formation, which shows how precious the formation in front of you is.
‘The refining of magic weapons has to be put on the agenda. ’
With this in mind, Wei Zhong informed Miaoli Shan through the white jade token.
Less than half a month passed before he rushed from Yunzhou City to Qingbo Island.
Looking at the changing formation aura above his head, a trace of wonder flashed in his eyes:
"You have thoroughly understood the "Shen Yin Jue"."
When he lowered his head to look at Wei Zhongzhi, he saw that the other person had a calm expression. Wei Keqing was as steady as ever.
"Take out the transaction items. But I have to say something ugly ahead of time. There is no chance of having as many third-level spiritual materials as before.
I know you are studying the art of puppetry, but there are also many weapon refiners in the Chamber of Commerce who are studying this method. This kind of spiritual material is in short supply in this season. "
Wei Zhong raised his head, his eyes were surprised for a moment, and then became calm:
"I wonder how far the puppets in the Chamber of Commerce have been refined now?"
Miaoli Shan took a sip of spiritual tea and said:
"Third level top grade."
"Didn't reach the fourth level?"
Miaoli Shan chuckled:
"If the fourth-level puppet is so simple to refine, wouldn't it make us and other Nascent Soul cultivators look useless?"
Wei Zhong raised his hand:
"Senior, please forgive me, junior, that's not what I meant. It's just that for the Chamber of Commerce, it is a bit slow to gather capable people."
Miaoli Shan nodded at this time:
"I don't know much about this matter, but it is said that there is a lack of certain key spiritual materials, which makes it difficult to improve the puppetry technique."
"Key spiritual material?"
Wei Zhong recalled the refining method in the inheritance.
‘Could it be? ’
"Let's talk about you, what level has the puppet refining reached now?"
Wei Zhong thought about it and replied:
"This junior is not talented and can barely make a third-level mid-level puppet."
Miaoli Shan raised his eyebrows. It was not that it was too slow, but that it was too fast.
The reason why the Chamber of Commerce is able to refine third-level high-grade puppets is not only the earlier time they get the inheritance, but also the result of the cooperation of multiple weapon refiners and puppet masters.
But Wei Zhong was alone. In a few years, he not only had to learn how to make puppets, but also how to make elixirs in exchange for resources, and he also had to focus on his own cultivation.
‘This is such a fast progress, could this person be able to separate himself? ’
"Fellow Daoist Wei is also very talented in puppetry!"
Miaoli Shan was so emotional.
Wei Zhong smiled slightly and took out the spiritual object he needed to trade this time.
A silver-colored storage bag appeared in Wei Zhong's hand.
The difference from last time is that it does not contain a large number of elixirs.
After taking it, Miaolishan looked around and suddenly said in surprise:
"Fourth level magic sword?"
He looked up at Wei Zhong with disbelief on his face.
"Fellow Taoist has actually advanced the art of weapon refining to the fourth level?"
‘Although the magic sword in the storage bag is slightly crudely made and not as good as the gourd and pipe in my hand, it is undoubtedly of the fourth level. ’
"Exactly. After studying the art of puppetry, it is connected with the art of weapon refining. Fortunately, I was able to refine this magic sword."
The Yunji Chamber of Commerce was reluctant to give Wei Zhong spiritual materials, so Wei Zhong had to give him some powerful materials. The fourth-level magic sword in his hand is suitable for this.
The titles of fourth-level alchemist and fourth-level weapon refiner are combined in Wei Zhong at the same time. Even among the merchant guilds, there are not many such people, right?
"Fellow Taoist is really..."
Miaoli Shan didn't even know what to say. In just over ten years, Wei Zhong had mastered both alchemy and weapon refining to the fourth level.
This is a leader even among chambers of commerce.
Among those high-level alchemists and weapon refiners, none of them had been honed over time, but the person in front of them had achieved such an achievement only in the early stage of elixir formation, which made Miaoli Shan amazed.
"Is this magic sword enough?"
Miaoli Shan nodded:
"The allocation of spiritual materials in the Chamber of Commerce has always been based on the consideration of resource bias. Now that Taoist friends have entered the fourth level of weapon refining, they can be considered to have reached this standard.
Not only are fourth-level spiritual materials fully open to the public, but the slightly lower second- and third-level materials are also available for the same reason. "
Wei Zhong recalled that he had previously exchanged elixirs for elixirs. It was very troublesome to obtain the thousand-year elixir from the Chamber of Commerce as a second-level alchemist. The same was true for obtaining the ten-thousand-year elixir as a third-level alchemist.
But after the fourth-level alchemy was revealed, everything changed.
It is not said that there are all kinds of elixirs that can be used for thousands of years, but at least it meets the needs of daily hand training.
‘The display of the fourth-level weapon refining technique this time will not only help me improve my weapon refining skills, but it will also be of great benefit to the puppet refining. ’
"In that case, please ask Senior Miao to take a look at this list."
Wei Zhong handed over a jade slip. Miaoli Shan raised his eyebrows after reading it:
"Fellow Taoist is really good at borrowing donkeys from Slope Xia. There is no problem in getting these spiritual materials for fellow Taoist, but the quantity cannot reach such a large amount.
After all, the internal resources of the Chamber of Commerce are also very scarce. Moreover, the value of the spiritual objects in fellow Taoist storage bags is not enough. "
Wei Zhong nodded. There was not only a fourth-level magical sword in the storage bag, but also many magical weapons that Wei Zhong refined later during his hand training:
"It doesn't matter, senior, you can exchange it according to the estimated value of the spiritual items in the storage bag, but these kinds of spiritual materials are absolutely indispensable..."
After some exchanges, Miaoli Shan took the jade slips and storage bag and left with satisfaction. He also wanted to return to Yunzhou City to collect what Wei Zhong needed.
What's more important is to inform Shan Qin and his master Shan Ji that Wei Zhong has been promoted to the fourth level of weapon refiner.
After Miaolishan left, Wei Zhong returned to the cave. His eyelids flickered slightly, and a curtain of light appeared in his eyes:
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Mid-stage pill formation (five levels·12%)]
【Shouyuan: 413/540】
In the past few decades, Wei Zhong has not only improved rapidly in several skills, but his cultivation has not fallen behind either.
Once again, I have advanced to a small level, and I am no longer entering the middle stage of elixir formation for the first time.
"But the remaining one hundred and twenty years of life are not safe."
It would take at least one hundred and twenty-five years for Wei Zhong to perform a complete three-level Taoist technique.
"Then let's go to the krypton level once."
The white subtitles on the panel flashed, and Wei Zhong noticed changes in himself at the same time. His cultivation level decreased, and his energy seemed to increase.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Mid-stage pill formation (fourth level·12%)]
【Shouyuan: 368/540】
"Krypton-level life-changing, years of Taoism, really achieved a perfect cycle here."
Wei Zhong dismissed the panel and took out the "Shen Yin Jue" to study it carefully.
"The Yunji Chamber of Commerce encountered obstacles in the refining of the fourth-level puppets with spiritual materials, and they will only appear in two places.
The first is the spiritual energy core. The fourth-level spiritual energy core stores no less than the total amount of spiritual power of a Yuanying monk, which is a great test for spiritual materials.
The second is where the monks are distracted, which is called the Divine Box in "Shen Yin Jue".
The first to third level divine boxes are very rough, but there are changes at the fourth level. "
The reason why the Nascent Soul monk is powerful is not only the huge spiritual power running in his legal body, but more importantly, his Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul can not only control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without the physical body, but also naturally carries the powerful pressure of the Nascent Soul.
The main reason for the huge gap between Jie Dan and Nascent Soul.
In a battle between the two, as long as the Nascent Soul reveals its own power, the Formation Pill will be crushed by the divine consciousness, making it difficult to cast spells, and can only use 50% of its abilities.
If the fourth-level puppet wants to compete with Yuanying, it needs to solve this kind of problem. This is the God Box.
"God-breaking Jade, Heavenly Fantasy Stone..."
Most of the fourth-level spiritual materials had names that Wei Zhong had never heard of.
"This divine box must account for half of the value of the fourth-order puppet!"
Wei Zhong clicked his tongue.
"There is no chance of refining it on my own. At least I have to wait until I truly enter the Nascent Soul before I can consider it. But if I just want to stop the pressure of the Nascent Soul..."
Wei Zhong took out a piece of leather with white fluorescence on the surface:
"I wonder if this thing can be used as a raw material for refining the God Box?"
The look in Wei Zhong's eyes floated, and he took it back after thinking for a while.
"Why are you thinking about these useless things? I don't have the skills to refine the fourth-level spiritual core, so I just think about the method of refining the divine box. It's really too ambitious.
It is better to refine five third-level high-grade magic weapons as soon as possible to complete the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation. By then, there will be means of protection at the Nascent Soul level, and you will feel more at ease while practicing. "
"The Five Elements Soldiers kill, and the monks hide in the formation and use the method of controlling the formation to fight the Nascent Soul. It can avoid the influence of the Nascent Soul's pressure to a certain extent. Unfortunately, this method cannot be used on puppets."
Wei Zhong shook his head, threw it behind his mind, and began to run the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique"...
After waiting no more than a month, Miaoli Shan came to Qingbo Island again and handed Wei Zhong a storage bag filled with various spiritual objects.
At the same time, he handed over a white jade bottle the size of a thumb.
"This is something that the guild leader specially ordered me to give to my Taoist friends. It's called Qingshen Jade Liquid, which has the effect of washing the monks' spiritual consciousness. It's very precious. Please use it well, my Taoist friends.
And let me bring you a sentence:
Although the "Splitting God Method" obviously improves spiritual consciousness, one must also pay attention to the disadvantages of long-term splitting of spiritual consciousness. Don't leave hidden dangers because of this, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to condense the Nascent Soul if your spiritual consciousness is incomplete. "
Wei Zhong thought a little when he heard this.
Miaoli Shan also thought that Wei Zhong was unwilling to accept this thing for nothing, so he explained:
"The guild leader said that this item is included in the opportunity promised by Senior Xie, so fellow Taoist friends can accept it with confidence."
Only then did Wei Zhong put it in his hand, and when he looked into it with his spiritual consciousness, he found that the jade bottle was just a drop-shaped object with a slightly silvery color.
Miaolishan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him accepting this thing:
"Fellow Taoist, please don't think that this jade bottle contains only one drop, but it is still valuable. Not only is it of great benefit to the alchemy monks, it is also of great help to Nascent Souls like me."
‘A genuine fourth-level spiritual object? ’
Wei Zhong immediately understood the preciousness of this thing, cupped his hands and said:
"Please also ask Senior Miao to express his gratitude to the meeting leader on Wei's behalf!"
Miaoli Shan nodded, handed the storage bag filled with various spiritual materials to Wei Zhong, said a few words and left.
Wei Zhong looked at the jade bottle in his hand, thinking:
‘Having demonstrated the fourth-level alchemy and weapon refining skills at the same time, did the guild leader finally see his potential and be willing to take out such a spiritual object? ’
After opening the jade bottle and just smelling it, Wei Zhong immediately felt a sense of coolness and comfort.
"It's indeed a good thing!"
