Chapter 172 Secret Message

"Being famous in Yunzhou?"

"Haha, it's normal for Fellow Daoist Wei to be so obsessed with cultivation that he doesn't know what to do.

"Fellow Taoist defeated the Puyang family Xun Yangzi half a year ago, which instantly made you famous.

"You must know that this Xunyangzi is no ordinary person. He has defeated middle-stage monks many times in the early stage of pill formation. He has superb fighting skills and is known as the Nascent Soul seed of the new generation of the Puyang family."

When Wei Zhong heard this, he nodded:

"Fellow Taoist Xunyangzi is naturally powerful, but if I can defeat him, I just take advantage of physical cultivation techniques..."

Wan Yanfu interrupted Wei Zhong's humble speech:

"well!

"Fellow Taoist Wei, please don't belittle yourself. Saying that your Taoist friend is powerful in battle is not a rumor, but what Taoist friend Xunyangzi said himself.

"Three months ago, he traveled to Yunzhou, visited many forces, and launched a challenge...

"We won several games in a row and gained great prestige in Yunzhou for a while. The words "I am not as good as Fellow Daoist Wei" as a result of this blessing caused the cultivators in Yunzhou City to have a strong interest in Fellow Daoist."

Wei Zhong held his head, he didn't expect that Xunyangzi would promote himself like this. Now all his stable cultivation was in ruins, and someone would inevitably come to challenge him in the future.

"Haha, just take the title of fellow Taoist. I don't have the ability even if I want it."

This is when the female cultivator on the side said:

"Senior Wei is a casual cultivator. Naturally, he is not as famous as you, senior brother. He is following the path of stable cultivation."

Wei Zhong turned to look at the other party. He was wearing a white robe, with red lips and white teeth. His face was immature and had the look of a child.

The cultivation level is not high, just like the middle stage of foundation building.

However, his words and demeanor are not simple. Even in front of the two Jiedan, he still maintains neither humility nor arrogance.

"I wonder who the fairy is?"

Wei Zhong asked in question.

Wanyanfu patted Wei Zhong on the shoulder and introduced:

"This is the daughter of the head of our sect, Cheng Ruirui."

‘I see, the daughter of Nascent Soul, no wonder she is so magnanimous. ’

While Wei Zhong was thinking, the female cultivator in front of him bowed slightly and saluted:

"Ruirui has met Senior Wei."

Wei Zhong returned the greeting with his hands raised, and then heard:

"Senior is not only extraordinary in combat power, but also accomplished in the art of weapon refining.

"To achieve the status of a fourth-level weapon refiner at such an age is the envy of many of my peers..."

"It all depends on the cultivation of the Chamber of Commerce. Without the support of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Pindao would not have been able to reach this point."

"..."

The three of them were chatting while walking towards the inside of Yunhai Peak.

"The outer area is just the shops rented by individuals, and the inside is the exchange meeting held by the Wang family in person. That's where there are a lot of good things."

Wanyanfu glanced at Wei Zhong:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, have you prepared enough good things?"

Wei Zhong nodded. In the past half year, apart from studying the art of puppetry, he had not been idle at other times.

Under the influence of everyone in the Artifact Hall, Wei Zhong refined two more fourth-level magic weapons, one for the sword and the other for the sword.

Although these two magic weapons belong to the same fourth-level low-grade as the black magic sword that was refined before, their level of sophistication is higher, and their power is also on a higher level.

According to Huang Yunqi, he is already in the middle of the fourth level.

At the same time, he expressed extreme surprise at Wei Zhong's progress.

Even under the guidance of so many weapon refiners, such rapid progress in half a year makes this senior fourth-level weapon refiner somewhat unbelievable.

At this point, Wei Zhong could only cover it up by saying that he was from a wild background.

…

Hearing that Wei Zhong had prepared enough spiritual objects for exchange, Wanyanfu couldn't help but move closer and lowered his head to transmit the message:

"If my fellow Taoist is rich later, maybe you can lend me some spiritual stones?"

Wei Zhong glanced at the other party strangely and said:

"Fellow Daoist Wanyan, as the true successor of the Shadow Moon Sect, can he still be successful without spiritual stones?"

Wan Yanfu was a little embarrassed:

“It’s true that my recent practice has been quite expensive and money is a bit tight…

"Fellow Daoist Wei, don't worry about me defaulting on my debt. I will repay the loan I borrowed today within ten years."

‘In the spiritual world, even debt repayments are measured in ten years? ’

Wei Zhong nodded and did not refuse Wanyanfu's request for help.

Cheng Ruirui, who was behind him, was chirping all the way, and from time to time he saw interesting things on nearby stalls, so he stopped the two of them.

Wanyanfu looked embarrassed and helped him buy the spiritual objects several times.

"Fellow Taoist and Junior Sister, it is normal for the spiritual stones to be insufficient."

After hearing Wei Zhong's message, Wanyanfu showed a wry smile:

"Ruirui is not very old. She is considered a little princess that our Shadow Moon Sect disciples have watched grow up, so we dote on her a little.

"But fortunately, what the other party wants are some beautiful spiritual objects, not the price, so I can save a lot."

After hearing this, Wei Zhong asked curiously:

"I wonder how old your junior sister is?"

It was not convenient for Wei Zhong to examine his bones, and it would be rude to ask directly, so he asked Wanyanfu for the inquiry.

The latter glanced at Wei Zhong with a strange expression and said faintly:

"Eighty years old."

Wei Zhong was shocked:

‘Eighty years, the middle stage of foundation building? Did you start practicing cultivation in your mother's womb? ’

But even if you include the ten-month pregnancy, it's really too outrageous.

According to the comparison between cultivation level and age, the opponent was at least in his sixties when he successfully established his foundation.

Wei Zhong had never heard of such a young Zhuji.

‘What a terrifying talent. ’

Looking at Cheng Ruirui playing with the red jade from behind, Wanyan Fu said:

"Junior Sister Cheng did practice cultivation too early.

“When I was three years old, I felt the Qi enter my body on my own and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.

"My uncle was worried that early cultivation would have an impact on him, so he had to ban his cultivation until he was ten years old.

"Fellow Daoist will probably know what's going to happen when he sees Junior Sister Cheng's young face.

"The cultivation level is like a wild horse that has escaped the reins, rising rapidly, far beyond the same level..."

Wei Zhong was really envious when he heard this.

Looking back on my previous practice, I only embarked on the path of spiritual practice when I was in my thirties. Due to poor qualifications, it took half a month to succeed in the first step of sensing qi, and the road to practice thereafter was even more bumpy...

‘In this world of spiritual practice, people are really comparing themselves to each other, and it’s so irritating! ’

The gap in qualifications has continued to widen during the long years of practice.

At Cheng Ruirui's age, Wei Zhong was still struggling in the late stages of Qi refining, but the other party would soon be thinking about forming pills.

The three of them walked and walked, approaching the center of Yunhai Peak.

It just so happened that there was a pill-forming exchange meeting about to take place at this time.

The three of them revealed their identities and came to a spacious hall under the leadership of the disciples of the Wang family.

There are twenty or thirty wooden chairs inside, and more than a dozen fellow Jiedan practitioners have already sat down and waited.

The entry of Wei Zhong and the others seemed to fill the final vacancy for this trade fair.

The door of the palace was closed, and an old Taoist in gray robe walked to the center of the crowd. After saluting, he said:

"I am Taoist Master Heyun. I am a guest of the Wang family. I will host this trade fair..."

After some polite words, he took out three things.

A jade slip, a pill bottle, and a spiritual fruit.

"Let me start from the beginning. Here is a heaven-level technique that reaches the late Nascent Soul stage. It can also be used with the wind attribute and the five elements of wood spirit roots...

"In the pill bottle is a Dixuan Pill, a fourth-level healing pill...

"One Ten Thousand Years Nine Heart Fruit...

"I would like to exchange it for a magical sword. It is best to be a third-level or higher-quality magic weapon, or a Nascent Soul magical weapon."

Hearing the introduction from Taoist Heyun, the monks under the stands had different expressions, and one person said:

"My fellow Taoist, it would be too fanciful to want to exchange this little thing for a fourth-level magic weapon.

"I have a third-level high-grade magical sword here. Fellow Taoist, let's see if it's qualified. I'm somewhat interested in the Earth Mysterious Pill."

As soon as he finished speaking, a monk stood up from below and threw out a silver magic sword.

Taoist Heyun took the sword and looked at it for a few times, then shook his head:

"Fellow Taoist, this sword is still not as powerful as the old Taoist elixir."

After returning the sword, several people made bids one after another, and various magical weapons appeared, which dazzled Wanyanfu.

But Taoist Heyun refused one by one. The monk below said that Taoist Heyun was teasing everyone. There were so many third-level high-grade magic tools, but none of them satisfied his appetite. This was a deliberate attempt to raise the price to ask for Nascent Soul magic tools. .

He Yun shook his head at this. Just when it was about to end, Wei Zhong threw something out:

"How would you like, fellow Taoist, to take a look at this thing?"

What Wei Zhong took out was not the fourth-level sword he had refined, but a third-level high-quality robe.

Magic robes are more difficult to refine than offensive and defensive magic weapons of the same level, and the price is more than 10% higher. If the other party is not satisfied with this, then Wei Zhong has no choice.

It is absolutely impossible for a fourth-level magic weapon to be used in exchange for these three items.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Heyun turned his head and looked at Wei Zhong after looking at it:

"This thing is acceptable. I wonder what you need?"

Wei Zhong pointed to the spiritual fruit and the jade slip of the technique in front of him.

He Yun was a little surprised by Wei Zhong's choice.

‘This person didn’t choose the most precious Earth Profound Pill? ’

Without thinking much, He Yun replied:

"Although this robe, fellow Taoist, is precious, it can only be exchanged for one thing from the old Taoist. Please consider it carefully, fellow Taoist."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"My fellow Taoist's jade slip of martial arts seems to be just a replica. With such a transaction, my fellow Taoist seems to be a little greedy..."

The two communicated several times and finally finalized the deal.

Wei Zhong bought three thousand low-grade spiritual stones, plus a third-grade robe, in exchange for two things.

He Yun was satisfied, and everyone came up to the stage to show off their collections and state the terms of exchange.

When it was Wei Zhong's turn, Wei Zhong waved his hand and saw three identical robes.

He Yun in the audience almost stared.

Cheng Ruirui, who was beside Wanyanfu, even laughed out loud when she saw this.

"Fellow Taoists must know the value of these three robes.

"Not much to say, I would like to exchange for the secret method of accelerating the growth of spiritual plants, targeting spiritual objects that are thousands or even ten thousand years old..."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience suddenly became silent.

Wei Zhong had no choice but to add:

"If the secret method is in line with Xia's intention, a fourth-level magic weapon may not be necessary."

After speaking, Wei Zhong also took out the fourth-level magic sword and showed it in front of everyone.

Its sharp light and the spiritual pressure it carried made the monks in the audience take a heavy breath and their eyes were full of fire.

"If fellow Taoist can take out a fourth-level magic weapon, is it possible that he is a fourth-level weapon refiner?"

At this time, someone in the audience asked.

Wei Zhong had no intention of hiding it.

‘Anyway, my name as a fourth-level weapon refiner has been spread out, and the only unknown person is this face. ’

"Exactly!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

"No wonder this person can produce so many high-grade third-level robes..."

"I don't know which family's weapon refiner this person is. If he is an independent person..."

"..."

At the same time, Taoist Heyun regretted his transaction with Wei Zhong.

‘If I had just persisted a little longer, would I have been able to take down this fourth-level magic sword? ’

However, no matter how much you regret, you cannot reverse the completed transaction.

With the temptation of the fourth-level magic weapon, three people in a row handed over the secret method to Wei Zhong.

Unfortunately, after Wei Zhong read them one by one, he called them all back.

The quality of its secret technique is far from enough to meet Wei Zhong's needs.

"Do any fellow Taoists still have the secret method of spiritual growth in their hands?"

"..."

After asking many times in succession, no one answered, and Wei Zhong regretfully resigned.

‘It seems that it is a bit wishful thinking to find this kind of secret method at this elixir formation fair. ’

Wei Zhong couldn't help but shake his head, and Cheng Ruirui, who was behind him, suddenly came over:

"Senior Wei is in urgent need of such a secret technique? Our Shadow Moon Sect has it!"

"Junior sister," Wanyanfu still wanted to stop him, but Cheng Ruirui's words had already fallen on Wei Zhong's ears.

Wei Zhong turned around with a surprised look on his face. He didn't expect that he would get news of the secret method here after running through the iron shoes to no avail.

However, looking at Wan Yanfu who was a little anxious, Wei Zhong immediately knew that this method would take a lot of effort.

Wanyanfu pulled Cheng Ruirui back to the wooden chair and said to Wei Zhong sheepishly:

"Forgive me, Fellow Daoist Wei, but this method involves the secrets of our Shadow Moon Sect. It is really inconvenient to reveal it to Fellow Daoist."

But Wei Zhong knew about this, how could he let it go so easily:

"Fellow Taoist Wanyan, can you tell me something? It's not that I don't know how to praise you. It's just that this secret method is related to my life and death. If I give up here..."

Wanyanfu also hesitated slightly after hearing Wei Zhong's words.

Cheng Ruirui glanced at the two of them and sent a message to Wanyanfu:

"Senior brother, before I left home, my uncle told you that he wanted to befriend Wei Zhong.

"How did you get to this moment?"

"Junior sister, there are limits to friendship. After all, Wei Zhong is a guest of the Gathering Chamber of Commerce, not a member of my Shadow Moon Sect.

"How can such core secret techniques be used to make friends?"

Wanyanfu has been practicing for many years, but the contribution points in his hand are not enough to exchange for a fraction of this method. How could such an important secret technique be easily transferred to an outsider like Wei Zhong.

Cheng Ruirui and Wanyanfu communicated for a while, but to no avail.

He had no choice but to turn to Wei Zhongyan and said:

"Senior Wei, if you really need this method, you can visit my father.

"As the current head of the Shadow Moon Sect, if he agrees, everything will be easy."

Wei Zhong nodded and cupped his hands:

"Thank you fairy for your advice!"

‘It seems that this method is indeed the core secret method of Shadow Moon Sect, otherwise Wanyanfu would not reveal any information. ’

Wei Zhong was already thinking about how he could meet the head of Nascent Soul.

‘My status as a fourth-level weapon refiner seems not enough.

‘Bring Miaoli Shan here with you? ’

While Wei Zhong was considering possible options, the trade fair had already ended here.

After the show ended, Wei Zhong, Wanyanfu and Cheng Ruirui left after rejecting the invitations of several Danjie colleagues.

At this banquet, there were more than just a few Jiedan who came, and there was more than just this small exchange meeting...
