Chapter 189 Spiritual Vein Migration
Thunderbolts came one after another in the sky. Thanks to the colorful golden bamboo umbrella and the specially made third-level robe prepared by Wei Zhong, Xie Linghua was able to hold on under the thunderbolts.
After the six thunderbolts, the golden bamboo umbrella had a lot of damage on the umbrella surface. Even the robe on Xie Linghua was a little dim, obviously damaged by the thunderbolts.
Wei Zhong was on guard around and looked at Xie Linghua's movements under the thunderbolts. Seeing this, he couldn't help but look solemn.
The last three of the nine thunderbolts were the most powerful, and the thunderbolts Xie Linghua suffered would be further strengthened.
Sure enough, as Wei Zhong thought in his heart, the seventh thunderbolt fell and the golden bamboo umbrella broke.
Ling Ziwei's heart tightened when she saw it from below, and she grabbed Wei Zhong's left hand.
"Don't worry, there are still ways."
Seeing that the treasure umbrella was damaged, Xie Linghua quickly put it away, drove the spiritual power in her body, and gathered a thick white cloud above her head.
This is the defensive secret method in the "Qingyun Jue". The robe on her body also lit up at the same time, and the dazzling spiritual light suddenly appeared, indicating that Xie Linghua was willing to damage this third-level robe to push its power to the extreme.
"Boom!"
The eighth thunder tribulation fell, the clouds collapsed instantly, and the thunder rushed straight to Xie Linghua. The robe glowed brightly, but the thunder light was even more dazzling.
As soon as the two touched, Xie Linghua was shot down into the sacred mountain below.
Failed? No, the thunder tribulation above her head has not stopped brewing, indicating that Xie Linghua did not die in this thunder tribulation.
"It's done!"
Wei Zhong said with some joy. Sure enough, along with the ninth thunder, a group of blood light slowly rose from the sacred mountain.
This is the secret technique of replacing the tribulation that Wei Zhong got from Tan Tai Lin. After the thunder tribulation touched it, it slowly dissipated, and the tenth thunder tribulation did not appear when Wei Zhong crossed the tribulation.
The two of them quickly fled to the distant Lingshan Mountain. Among the rocks, they found Xie Linghua, whose body was charred and whose life or death was unknown.
After Wei Zhong investigated with his spiritual sense, he found that she was just seriously injured and unconscious. He breathed a sigh of relief, put a spiritual pill into her mouth, and then asked Ling Ziwei to take care of her.
He turned and flew to the periphery of Lingdao:
"My wife was injured during the tribulation, so it is inconvenient for me to receive outsiders. Please leave. I will invite you to the banquet another day."
When the nine thunder tribulations were over, the outer cultivators did not know what happened to the people who survived the tribulation on the island.
Now, after hearing what Wei Zhong said, they knew that he had successfully survived the tribulation.
"My wife? Could it be Fairy Xie who is in charge of the secular affairs of Lingdao on Qingbo Island?"
"This is really good luck. Master Wei has not only been in the Jindan stage for many years, but his wife and concubine have also reached the Jindan stage."
For ordinary Jindan forces, it is good to have one Jindan Zhenren. The next Jindan will also appear from the outstanding younger generations in the clan. How can three appear in the same generation at the same time?
Without thinking, everyone knows how much resources this Master Wei has spent here.
Hearing Wei Zhong send the guests away, everyone also dispersed, and at the same time thought about what gifts they should prepare for the Jindan banquet at that time.
The two people from Qingmu Sect originally wanted to take this opportunity to visit, but after listening to what Wei Zhong said, they also gave up this idea and turned to the territory of Yunzhou City.
On Qingbo Island, Xie Linghua, who had taken the elixir, woke up and looked inside herself. She immediately saw a complete Baiyun Jindan.
The smile on her face could no longer be stopped. She looked up at Ling Ziwei, who also smiled back.
After sending away the foreign cultivators, Wei Zhong asked Hu Jinchuan and others to prepare for the next Jindan banquet, and then returned to the training room.
After checking Xie Linghua's injuries with his spiritual sense, he murmured:
"The injury from the thunder tribulation is quite serious, and there is still some residual power of heaven. It will probably take a long time to fully recover."
But when he saw the smile on Xie Linghua's face, Wei Zhong also smiled and said:
"But Ling'er, after you advance to Jindan, you will have plenty of time to deal with this injury."
Once Jindan is completed, the upper limit of life span is directly raised to 500 years, and there is still a chance to increase life span with subsequent practice and continued improvement.
A minor injury does not pose any threat at all in the passing of time.
...
In Yunzhou City, the two people from Qingmu Sect finally arrived at the Yunji Chamber of Commerce after several days.
Looking at the formation covering an unknown place above their heads, they all showed amazement.
"Is this the Yuanying Sect?"
Compared with it, the Qingmu Sect's protective formation is as small as an ant.
After handing over the visiting card, a passage appeared in the formation in front of him, and a disciple of the Chamber of Commerce wearing the robe of the Dan Palace came out.
"But the two guests from the Qingmu Sect, Master Du is already waiting for you in the hall."
The two bowed and thanked him, and followed him into the formation.
At the same time, a ray of light flew over their heads and directly penetrated the huge formation. Without causing a ripple, it sank into the formation.
In the formation, Miaolishan and others seemed to be sensed and fled into the air together, facing the ray of light.
"Master!"
"Father!"
"Chairman!"
The man was Shan Gu who had returned from afar.
After greeting everyone, he said:
"Prepare for the elders to discuss matters, I have something important to announce."
Hearing this, several people did not dare to neglect it, and flew to each hall together to summon the elders in the meeting.
Shan Qin stayed where she was, looking at Shan Gu with a probing look in her eyes:
"Father, what happened? Why mobilize so many troops?"
The latter sighed:
"Let's talk about it at the meeting. It will take a while to explain it clearly. Also, draft a notice to let the elders outside know about this matter."
Shan Qin nodded slowly.
The two members of the Qingmu Sect walked along the stone steps and saw the magnificent scenery of the Chamber of Commerce, with wonder and yearning in their eyes.
"This is the foundation of the great power of Yuanying. A fourth-level spiritual mountain is only a small part of its territory. How can our Qingmu Sect compare with it? Even if I advance to the realm of Yuanying, I can only stay in the wilderness. It's just a remote area of the mansion.
"There is no possibility for our Qingmu Sect to expand."
Thinking of the surrounding prefectures, Lian Chengjue couldn't help but shake his head. Mangyuan Prefecture was in a remote area, with only third-level spiritual mountains. The same was true for the nearby prefectures. If you wanted to find first- and fourth-level spiritual lands, you would need to extend to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
But how could the fourth-order monster in the mountain range be someone so easy to mess with?
Under the guidance of the disciples of the Alchemy Palace, the two of them walked all the way to the Alchemy Palace, but suddenly they saw several monks flying away in the air. At a glance, many of them were elders in the guild, and even the Nascent Soul monk Du Longfeng was here. List.
Escape is prohibited on Lingshan Mountain unless there is an emergency.
"It seems something big has happened. Elder Du has just left. You two may need to wait for a while."
Yao Zhengsheng looked surprised and confused:
"Well, I dare to ask my friend, how long is this time?"
The latter shook his head:
"How can I know about the elder's affairs? It could be as short as a few hours, or as long as days, months, or years. It's impossible. You two just wait."
After saying this, he led the two of them to a side hall, left the spiritual tea and a few instructions, and then left.
The two members of the Qingmu Sect looked at each other.
…
On Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong's guest token suddenly lit up with bursts of spiritual light. When he looked into it with his spiritual sense, he found a message flashing in it.
"In recent years, many sects in Fengzhou and even Beiyuan have been wiped out by a mysterious force. Not only have all the monks in the sect disappeared, but the underground spiritual veins where their influence is located have also disappeared. It is suspected that they have been moved by magic...
"I hope all comrades will remain vigilant. If you have relevant information, please report it immediately. Those with true information will be rewarded with meritorious service from our human race...
"In addition, due to a large number of changes in underground spiritual veins, the earth veins may tremble, which may trigger various spiritual disasters, such as the collapse of the secret realm, violent spiritual power tides in the sky, etc. I hope you will be careful..."
Wei Zhong frowned as he looked at this long message.
"Many forces were wiped out? Even the spiritual veins of the places where they were located were missing? What a big deal this was. It actually alarmed the top brass of the human race, and even things like meritorious deeds were taken out as rewards."
Wei Zhong rubbed his eyebrows, unable to figure out the logic behind this. The message only contained a rough description of the incident and some instructions, but did not explain the cause of the incident.
"It's definitely a big deal. It involves merit, so you have to be careful."
Wei Zhong had no intention of getting involved in this. How could this mysterious force be so simple if it could cause such a stir?
"At present, it only happens occasionally in Fengzhou and Beiyuan, and it has not spread to Yunzhou. Even if such unrest occurs in Yunzhou, the possibility of affecting Yunzhou City and several nearby prefectures is very small.
"I still have plenty of development time."
Wei Zhong straightened his expression and planned to start a long period of retreat in order to work hard to improve his cultivation.
One month has passed, and on Qingbo Island, Xie Linghua’s pill-forming banquet has begun.
It attracted many Dan-forming forces in this mansion, as well as the subordinate Foundation-building families.
The excitement was a bit more lively than when Wei Zhong formed the elixir. This is because the strength of Qingbo Island is increasing day by day, and the identity of Wei Zhong's fourth-level weapon refiner also came from Yunzhou City.
There is such a weapon-refining master in the little Luohe Mansion, and everyone wants to come and curry favor with him.
"Brother of the clan!"
Hu Jinqing looked at the high-spirited Hu Jinchuan, then looked at himself, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
He had been promoted to Foundation Establishment many years ago, and now his cultivation level is higher than that of Hu Jinchuan, but his mental outlook is far inferior.
Decades ago, his master died at the end of his life, and Hu Jinqing lost his only supporter.
Without a strong family background, in order to catch up with his fellow disciples, he could only desperately take on sect tasks to earn money for training. However, after years of busy work, he was still not as fast as those disciples with strong backgrounds.
Tired, he looked at Hu Jinchuan with a trace of envy on his face.
There are many people with similar ideas, but they can only stop at envy.
Qingbo Island has not had any plans to expand its power for many years, and even if there is an additional Jiedan at this moment, it will not be an exception.
Wei Zhong occasionally showed up at the banquet, met some old acquaintances, and left in a hurry.
The three-day banquet finally came to an end.
A ray of Nascent Soul Escaping Light fell, and the figure of Miaoli Shan appeared. Hearing that Lingdao had just held a banquet for the end of pills, a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
Seeing the qi-refining maid who used to be next to Wei Zhong, Miaoli Shan's eyes were even more surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Wei really put in a lot of effort."
Being able to push an ordinary Qi Refining monk with low-grade spiritual roots to the level of pill formation, Miaoli Shan, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, is very aware of the amount of effort behind this.
Wei Zhong chuckled lightly and asked:
"I wonder why Senior Miao came here?"
The latter drank a cup of tea:
"Have you, Fellow Daoist Wei, read the message sent by the Chamber of Commerce some time ago?"
Wei Zhong nodded slowly: "But about the destruction of many forces in Fengzhou and Beiyuan?"
"Yes, according to what I learned from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, in Beiyuan alone, no less than ten Core Formation forces have been destroyed in the past few decades, and countless members of the Foundation Establishment family have perished under them."
Wei Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect that there were so many messages in such a huge amount.
And this is only Beiyuan. Counting Fengzhou, how much would it be?
"It's been so long since the incident happened, why should I tell you now?"
Miaolishan sighed:
"The replacement of forces is a natural law in the spiritual world, but this mysterious black hand used various means to conceal the truth and confuse the public.
“If it weren’t for the loss of a large number of spiritual veins and the imbalance of spiritual energy, which led to several spiritual disasters, we would still be kept in the dark.
"Master once said that this incident may spread to Yunzhou, so fellow Daoist Wei should be careful."
Wei Zhong nodded, curious about the migration of spiritual veins:
"Spiritual vein migration, what kind of power can achieve this?"
"This matter is extremely complicated. It can only be accomplished by a major Nascent Soul cultivation supplemented by high-level formations, and one must be extremely familiar with the underground spiritual veins.
“Therefore, the higher-ups are speculating that our human race may be involved in this incident.
“As for the purpose, there are different opinions.
"The most popular theory is that this is someone's intention to weaken the power of the boundary wall through the migration of spiritual veins, so as to create conditions more suitable for the deployment of cross-border formations."
"Cross-border formation? Could it be that the demon and demon clans are behind this? Do you want to start a cross-border war again?"
Wei Zhong looked surprised, and the two women around him were confused.
“It’s just a guess, not sure.
"And if you want to achieve this effect, you can't just move a few third-order spiritual veins. You have to involve the fourth-order spiritual veins in each state. But in order to avoid such accidents," Chuanyin continued, " I came here to borrow the inner demon cloak from my fellow Taoist."
"Master promises that this thing will be handed over to the upper level and allocated to suitable people for use. At that time, there will be a steady stream of merit points recorded in the names of fellow Taoists.
"In addition, if the magic weapon is lost, the higher-ups, including my Yunji Chamber of Commerce, will compensate fellow Taoists."
After Wei Zhong heard this, he handed a storage bag into his hand.
This is what Wei Zhong promised before the magic weapon was refined.
Coupled with such a generous reward, there was no reason to refuse.
Miaoli Shan took the storage bag and inspected it, then continued:
"Of course, fellow Daoist Wei, there is no need to worry too much. It may be some rats in the gutter who do this in order to cultivate a large spiritual land. It does not necessarily have to be an alien conspiracy.
"In short, fellow Taoists, just stay vigilant. If it is not necessary, try to reduce the possibility of traveling to the surrounding prefectures of Yunzhou."
Wei Zhong nodded, Miaolishan's words coincided with his thoughts.
"The words have been brought here, and I will leave now."
"Senior, walk slowly!"
