Chapter 159 Changes

"Even if you wait until you condense the Nascent Soul, this method may not be able to reach the end of the world."

Wei Zhong shook his head and threw it behind him.

Turning around, he looked inwards with his consciousness, looking at the thousands of Gang Qi condensed in his body.

At this time, the number of Gang Qi condensed in Wei Zhong's body has exceeded 4,000, approaching the number of 5,000.

Converted into a spiritual realm, it is equivalent to the fourth level of the middle stage of elixir formation.

It is not a profound cultivation, but it only took Wei Zhong sixty years.

"Unfortunately, as the amount of Gang Qi in the body increases, the speed of practice drops sharply."

It seems that the large amount of Gang Qi in the body hinders the generation of new Gang Qi. Wei Zhong's cultivation speed has dropped significantly since he exceeded the number of four thousand Gang Qi.

Even if he takes the elixir refined from ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng to speed up his practice, he still cannot keep up with his previous progress.

"It's normal for your cultivation speed to become slower as you get to the later stages. But there's also a reason why your physical strength hasn't kept up. The Dharma Body can't accommodate so much Gang Qi."

Wei Zhong can still feel the Gang Qi's continuous strengthening of his body day and night. This strengthening has not stagnated since he practiced the "Forging Gang Method".

"After all, the training time is too short. Song Linfang practiced this method for at least four to five hundred years before reaching the peak of the third level, while I only reached the peak of the third level for only sixty years."

Needless to say, the difference between them is that Wei Zhong's inner vision revealed the true elixir in his body.

In contrast, Wei Zhong's number of Gang Seals was quite a bit, probably even more than Song Linfang's at the same level.

More than a hundred gang seals are spread all over the black true elixir, as if it has been tattooed with a layer of magnificent patterns.

Wei Zhong estimated that the strength of the true elixir at this time was no worse than that of a third-level high-grade magic weapon, and even close to the strength of the fourth-level magic sword that he had originally refined.

It can be called the hardest part of Wei Zhong's body.

When ten thousand Gang Qi are accumulated, the number of Gang Seals will be at least three hundred. I don’t know how strong the true elixir will be at that time.

"A true elixir with the strength of a fourth-level magic weapon?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but smile. With a true elixir in the elixir formation stage, he could defeat a fourth-level magic weapon. Wei Zhong had never heard of it.

Which elixir is not a good way to hide one's true elixir, for fear that its damage will affect one's own cultivation? Only by practicing the mysterious method of "Forging Gang Method" can it be used as a weapon.

Wei Zhong felt more and more wise that he had obtained this method.

Not only did the monks benefit a lot during the elixir formation stage, but also after Nascent Soul.

"Song Linfang has entered the realm of Yuanying. With this method, she is definitely not an ordinary person in the early stage of Yuanying."

Wei Zhong guessed so.

On the other side, Yunzhou City.

On the top of a green mountain that reaches straight into the sky, stands a pavilion less than half a mile wide.

A man in gray robes descended from the clouds and knocked on the door of the pavilion:

"Friend Daoist Song, Qingyun greets you!"

This person is Wang Qingyun, the head of the Wang family.

This green mountain was the place of cultivation given to Song Linfang by the Wang family.

The area is not large, even a little pitiful for Yuanying monks.

However, such a small realm also requires paying a certain price.

In the pavilion, Song Linfang finished her work, frowned slightly, straightened her clothes, and calmed down her impatience.

Then he walked to the door outside the pavilion and opened the vermilion door with his own hands.

Seeing Wang Qingyun, there was a bit of joy on his face:

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Wang, please come in quickly."

Although the other party is a pill-forming monk, he is also the patriarch of the Yiyuanying family. What's more, now that Song Linfang is living under the Wang family, she must be greeted with courtesy.

Wang Qingyun's expression was as usual, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He came to visit Song Linfang this time just because his ancestor ordered him to do so, and Wang Qingyun was just following his orders.

The two of them entered the building and sat down, and Song Linfang poured them some spiritual tea:

"With Brother Wang's power, he will probably be promoted to the fourth level in the near future, right?"

Wang Qingyun nodded, picked up the tea in his hand, and drank it in one gulp.

Then we get to the point:

"How has Fellow Daoist Song considered what the ancestor said?"

He raised his head and stared at Song Linfang, as if he wanted to see something on her face.

Song Linfang secretly sighed that this person did not understand the style and could only pretend to be sad:

"The request made by the ancestor of the Wang family is really difficult for me to accept. Is it true that you can't free up a piece of land for me in Zhigang Palace in Yunzhou City?"

After saying this, Wang Qingyun was already minding his own business and adding a cup of tea.

"What the ancestors said cannot be changed."

There was a trace of obvious regret on Song Linfang's face.

Then I heard Wang Qingyun add:

"But this is just a temporary condition."

Song Linfang raised her head:

"Oh, I wonder what Fellow Daoist Wang has to say?"

"Since the development of our Wang family, there are only two Nascent Souls in the family, the ancestor and my sister, so we have a piece of land in Yunzhou City to establish ourselves.

Now that I will advance to the fourth level of body refining in the near future, if I can marry Taoist friend Song, my Wang family will have the fighting power of four Nascent Souls.

With such an increase in strength, the family's territory is bound to expand.

Not to mention the realm of a sect with a fourth-level spiritual land, the third-level spiritual land that supports the alchemy sect can be obtained.

At that time, it will be put into operation. Isn't it easy to divide Zhigang Palace under the command of Taoist friends?

Moreover, as a fellow Taoist Yuanying monk, as long as he is fully integrated into my Wang family, with the help of Pindao, it is not impossible to create a first- and fourth-level spiritual land. "

"So, what do fellow Taoist Song think about it?"

Song Linfang's eyes flickered, as if she was carefully considering what Wang Qingyun said.

What he said was to join the Wang family first, and then use this identity to scheme for other things.

To outsiders, the Wang family might seem to be a bit of a free-for-all, but this is not the case for Song Linfang.

After experiencing that secret realm and the subsequent baby condensation incident, Song Linfang had long been deeply bound to the Wang family. Even if Song Linfang wants to switch to other Nascent Soul forces at this moment, it is impossible.

Song Linfang also cares about the inheritance within the family, so she must find a development path for Zhigang Palace.

The Wang family is his best choice at the moment.

"What Fellow Daoist Wang said is true."

Song Linfang was obviously moved.

"I wonder what the probability is that your friend will advance this time?"

Wang Qingyun understood the meaning of his words, that is, there is still a possibility of marriage between the two after his advancement. If the advancement fails, then there will be another discussion.

However, this was already a condition that the ancestor had negotiated with him.

"Sixty percent!"

‘It’s actually 60%? The Wang family’s foundation is really deep. ’

Song Linfang recalled that when she was Ning Ying, after the Wang family provided help, the success rate was only 30%, which was called "a narrow escape from death".

The Wang Qingyun in front of him actually has a 60% success rate in promotion. To the outside world, he would be the envy of others.

"In that case..."

Song Linfang's lips moved slightly, transmitting the rest of the words to Wang Qingyun's ears.

After hearing this, the latter's face remained neither sad nor happy. He nodded, put down the tea cup, stood up and handed over his hands:

"I have obtained Fellow Daoist's approval. I will take my leave now and go back to prepare for promotion. I hope Fellow Daoist Song will also be prepared later."

Song Linfang stood up to see him off, watched the other person fly into the clouds, turned around and left, and closed the vermilion door with a sigh.

······

In the Wang family, Wang Qingyun fell into a small courtyard, where he met Wang Yonghong, the ancestor of the Wang family, and Wang Qianxi, the Yuanying elder, who had been waiting here.

Seeing Wang Qingyun return, Wang Qianxi immediately asked:

"Brother, has Song Linfang agreed?"

The latter nodded expressionlessly.

Both Nascent Souls smiled.

"I thought it would be difficult for my wooden brother to figure it out, but I didn't expect that I had some tricks to convince Sister Song easily," Wang Qianxi said with a smile.

Wang Qingyun shook his head:

"It's just an exchange of interests. I promised to set aside a piece of spiritual land in Yunzhou City for the development of Zhigang Palace afterwards. That's why it went so smoothly."

"No matter what the means, just achieve the goal. Fortunately, Song Linfang is concerned about the sect he comes from, otherwise it would be really difficult to control.

If he refuses, our Wang family will really fall into an embarrassing situation. "

Wang Yonghong was quite satisfied with Wang Qingyun's move.

"How embarrassing it would be. If he doesn't want to join my Wang family, then just take back the things my Wang family gave him," Wang Qianxi said somewhat domineeringly.

After hearing this, the ancestor of the Wang family couldn't help but shake his head:

"Qianxi, you are acting too recklessly and without regard for the consequences. This is why I still hand over the position of clan leader to Qingyun even though you have a higher level of cultivation.

After all, the other party is also a fellow Nascent Soul, so how can he be so easy to control? If you are negligent, you will not be able to gain allies, but will instead add an enemy to my Wang family.

Moreover, when we helped him congeal his baby, it was also part of the secret realm intelligence transaction. It was not considered a unilateral gift from my Wang family, and it was not morally right.

Now Qingyun's trip is a safe one and has achieved the goal we wanted. "

Wang Qianxi was a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by Wang Yonghong's next words:

"Now that this matter has been completed, Qingyun, you should prepare for the advancement. I will handle all the affairs within the clan. Don't worry about anything else."

Wang Qingyun bowed and held his hands:

"I respect my ancestor's instructions!"

······

Three years later, Wei Zhong looked at the news presented by Hu Jinchuan and murmured:

"The head of the Wang family, Wang Qingyun, has entered the fourth level of body refining. The Wang family has added another Nascent Soul on the basis of its ancestor Wang Yonghong and elder Wang Qianxi.

He also became a Taoist couple with Song Linfang of Zhigang Palace, and will host a banquet for cultivators in half a year..."

Wei Zhong read the information on the jade slips without much expression on his face, but Ling Ziwei on the side couldn't help being surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Song actually entered the Wang family. Is this information true?"

When Wei Zhong saw the cloud mark on the jade slip, he knew that the news came from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and was undoubtedly true.

"Can the news about Yunji Chamber of Commerce be false?"

"The Wang family must have had such an idea long ago when they helped Song Linfang to congeal a baby."

Wei Zhong was not surprised at this, but what he didn't expect was that the Wang family had another Nascent Soul warrior.

"Wang Qingyun, it's the right time to advance to the fourth level of body refining. If this happens, the layout of Yunzhou City may change again.

Regardless of the Shadow Moon Sect and the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, which have the Nascent Soul cultivator at their command, the Scarlet Flame Society, which is similar in strength to the Wang family, will probably have a hard time.

There are also those core-forming or foundation-building forces that will also experience ups and downs in this changing situation. "

But this has nothing to do with Wei Zhong who lives far away in Luohe Mansion.

Wei Zhong then looked down at the jade slips and saw that Zhigang Palace intended to move to Yunzhou City.

"It's true that one person has achieved enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Zhigang Palace has benefited from Song Linfang's glory, and has entered a bigger stage. It's just that I, Qingbo Island, will have one less big customer in the future."

As the No. 1 sect in the palace that surpasses Jinguang Pavilion, Zhigang Palace consumes a large amount of spiritual elixirs and magic weapons every year, and most of these are earned by Qingbo Island where Wei Zhong is located.

Without Zhigang Palace, Qingbo Island's annual income would have to drop by 40%.

Just as Wei Zhong was thinking this, Zou Ruiyuan's voice came from outside the hospital:

"Island Master, there is an invitation!"

After being admitted to the hospital, Wei Zhong reached out and ingested it.

After checking it, he handed it to Ling Ziwei at the side.

"The invitation came so quickly!"

Ling Ziwei was surprised after reading the content.

"Probably the Wang family is eager to show off their strength!"

This post was sent by the Wang family to celebrate Wang Qingyun's breakthrough to the fourth level, and to congratulate him and Song Linfang on becoming Taoist companions. They hosted a banquet for all cultivators.

"How many forces in Luohe Mansion have received this invitation?"

Wei Zhong asked Zou Ruiyuan.

The latter replied respectfully:

"According to the information obtained by my subordinates, I am the only one from Qingbo Island in this mansion."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"Song Linfang and the Wang family really think highly of me."

For the banquet of the Nascent Soul forces, the Luohe Mansion only invited a family of casual cultivators from Qingbo Island. Jinguang Pavilion, as the first Danjie sect, and other Danjie families did not receive invitations. How could this not be appreciated?

"It's probably because Fellow Daoist Song is operating in it," Ling Ziwei said. "Of course, there is also the fact that my husband's identity as an alchemist has attracted the attention of the Wang family."

Wei Zhong nodded.

‘You must have a strong foundation, otherwise the Wang family will not even look at you, let alone receive an invitation like this. ’

Looking at the golden post, Wei Zhong was immediately troubled.

Wei Zhong could not refuse the invitation from the Nascent Soul forces. However, Wei Zhong has a stable temperament and really does not want to step into the turbulent Yunzhou City at this moment.

"Husband, you don't want to be invited?"

Ling Ziwei was in sympathy with Wei Zhong and could easily see what Wei Zhong was thinking.

Hu Jinchuan and Zou Ruiyuan below looked surprised, wondering why their island owners didn't want to go to such a prestigious Nascent Soul Banquet. You must know that this is an honor that only Qingbo Island in Luohe Prefecture is qualified to enjoy.

Wei Zhong nodded: "The invitation from the dignified Wang family, I, a little Jie Dan, have to go even if I don't want to go."

He couldn't refuse, at least with Wei Zhong's current status, there was no way he could refuse.

Seeing Wei Zhong who was helpless, Ling Ziwei smiled:

"Can Sister Xie and I accompany you on this trip?"

Wei Zhong drove away Hu Jinchuan and Zou Ruiyuan below, and then said:

"Yunzhou City is not a good place for a short period of time. The banquet will probably be indispensable with blood. I can't protect you and the other two at the same time, so I'll go alone this time."

Ling Ziwei was not dissatisfied at all because of Wei Zhong's answer. She was always smart and could see the possible risks behind such conflicts.

"In this case, my husband needs to be more careful during this trip!"
