Chapter 191 Frost Mountain
After reading the message sent by Xun Yangzi. Wei Zhong knew that there were still four or five years before Yinxiao Yulu fell.
Shuangwuling Mountain is located at the northernmost tip of Yunzhou, adjacent to the northern frozen soil. In the past, it would have taken Wei Zhong a year or two to get here, but with the improvement of Wei Zhong's cultivation, it only takes about a year now.
I still have plenty of time, so I'm not in a hurry.
We still have to figure out the reason why the spiritual object fell earlier.
When I sent a message to ask, Xunyangzi’s answer was also ambiguous.
I just mentioned that there have been many mistimed opportunities recently, some even a hundred years in advance.
Many hidden secret realms appeared, but just when the monks were about to explore, the secret realm suddenly collapsed...
Over the Shuangwuling Mountain, a strange phenomenon has begun to take shape, and it is expected that the Yinxiao Jade Dew will descend in four to five years.
"The secret realm was born and collapsed quickly. Why is it so similar to the spiritual energy disaster mentioned by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?
"Is there really a connection between the two?"
Wei Zhong was puzzled and had to turn his target to Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
As the most well-informed chamber of commerce in Yunzhou, they probably know something about this.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the panel appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes again.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Late Dan Formation·Ninth Level (7%)]
After two years of refining weapons, his cultivation level has not improved much, he just returned from the eighth level to the ninth level.
After leaving the customs, he said hello to Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua, telling him that he would be traveling far away during this trip.
Although the two were reluctant to leave, they did not stop him. After talking to Wei Zhong for a while, they reluctantly watched Wei Zhong go away.
Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua have both entered the realm of forming pills. They have enough power to protect themselves in Luohe Mansion, not to mention the help of the Five Elements Soldier Killing Formation, which can fight against all opponents under the Nascent Soul.
Even if Nascent Soul comes, the current killing formation can still withstand one or two.
In the past few decades, Wei Zhong had already completed the weapons in the killing array. Although they were not fourth-level magic weapons, they were all top-level third-level weapons. Together with the third-level high-quality five-element puppets, they were extremely lethal.
Wei Zhong lay on the spirit boat, and with a thought, the colorful golden bamboo umbrella suddenly appeared.
"Although one has been made, no monk would have too many of these high-level magic weapons!"
Although a colorful golden bamboo umbrella can withstand several thunder tribulations, Wei Zhong does not know how strong the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation is, so there is still a risk in overcoming the tribulation.
So I plan to make a few more handles.
Even if it is not used to promote the growth of Golden Thunder Bamboo, Silver Sky Jade Dew is still good when used on other ten thousand year spiritual plants.
As his cultivation level increases day by day, Wei Zhong is about to condense into an infant, and most of the third-level spiritual objects will lose their effectiveness by then.
Fourth-level spiritual objects are rare and limited in quantity, so the method of inducing the creation of Yinxiao Jade Dew is extremely important.
Even if it is not for the sake of Golden Thunder Bamboo, Wei Zhong must go there for the sake of his future cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm.
After escaping in Lingzhou for several days, Wei Zhong arrived at Yunji Chamber of Commerce again.
"I, Yunji Chamber of Commerce, don't know much about Shuangwuling Mountain."
Wei Zhong just took the tea in his hand and listened to Shan Qin's explanation.
"Why? The Silver Sky Jade Dew on it is also a very incredible spiritual object for the Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Indeed, the reason why the Chamber of Commerce is not keen on this thing is mainly because the span of its birth is too long.
"Five hundred years is too long. A pill-forming monk can only live a little longer than this. Even the longevity of Yuanying can only wait for two opportunities.
"Such a long-lasting spiritual object is not included in the list of spiritual objects involved in the Chamber of Commerce."
"Not to mention that our Yunji Chamber of Commerce is too far away from Shuangwuling Mountain in the north of Yunzhou and is beyond our reach."
After hearing Shan Qin's explanation, Wei Zhong roughly understood the meaning of his words.
Five hundred years is an extremely long span for any force, even for the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, which is a Nascent Soul force.
"However, although our Chamber of Commerce is not very interested in it, the individual elders within it are not."
Wei Zhong was just confused when a familiar figure walked in from outside the hall, it was Miaoli Shan.
"Actually, in the previous opportunities for Silver Sky Jade Dew, some Nascent Soul cultivators from our Chamber of Commerce came to compete, but not as elders of the Chamber of Commerce, but as individuals. There is no need to pay a share to the Chamber of Commerce for the spiritual objects obtained. All Belong to individuals.
"Last five hundred years ago, it was Xie Lao who came, and this time it is Aunt Miao."
Wei Zhong turned around and saw that the other party looked like he hadn't woken up. He stretched himself out and yawned:
"The wine brewed by Lingyuhua is really overbearing..."
Then he walked to the table and poured himself a cup of ice-cold spiritual tea.
"I heard that you were talking about Shuangwuling Mountain. What happened?"
"Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong, I want to go to Lingshan to participate in this competition for Yinxiao Jade Dew."
Before Wei Zhong could speak, Shan Qin responded instead.
Miaoli Shan glanced at Wei Zhong:
"You have reached the late stage of pill formation? No wonder. However, I still have to advise you. With your cultivation, you can only pick up some holes outside Lingshan. It is absolutely impossible to participate in the competition for Nascent Soul inside Lingshan."
Wei Zhong nodded:
"This junior understands that it is very important for this junior to have a spiritual plant in his hand, so he cannot let this opportunity pass by.
"Yinxiao Jade Dew is inevitable. The information about Shuangwuling Mountain..."
"In that case, you can go with me then. As for the information, Qin'erqi will give him a copy."
Wei Zhong hesitated to speak, but in fact he did not want to accompany Miaoli Shan.
After all, the main event this time is still the fight for the Nascent Soul within Lingshan, and Wei Zhong will definitely need to use the [Song of Time Taoism].
If there are acquaintances present, it would be really timid.
However, Miaolishan was kind-hearted and Wei Zhong couldn't refuse.
After waiting silently for a moment, a disciple from the Chamber of Commerce sent a jade slip of information.
After Wei Zhong took it, he penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness and found that it contained the location of the Shuangwu Lingshi and the terrain inside it.
There are detailed descriptions of which places are dangerous places, what the danger level is, and how much Silver Sky Jade Dew will fall there.
‘It seems that this is all information recorded by the ancestors who participated in previous incidents. ’
Slowly putting away the jade slips, Wei Zhong said:
"I wonder what the price is for this information?"
Shan Qin smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, as a fourth-level weapon refiner and alchemist of our chamber of commerce, this information must be free. Please don't talk about the price in the future."
Wei Zhong didn't say anything polite, just said thank you lightly, and then turned to Miaoli Shan:
"I'm going to trouble Senior Miao this time."
The latter nodded:
"You're welcome. I will set off in a year. You can come with me then. As for the subsequent battle for spiritual objects, you and I will discuss it later."
Wei Zhong said he understood.
Because there was only one year left, Wei Zhong did not return to Luohe Mansion, but found a place to practice in Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
It is still Jinpingfang City next to Xiaohe Mountain. I heard that Liancheng Jue of Qingmu Sect failed to advance to Yuanying here and died.
Stepping into the cave, Wei Zhong quickly fell into a state of cultivation.
A year later, Wei Zhong looked at the data on the panel.
[Cultivation: Late Dan Formation·Ninth Level (17%)]
"Concentrate on cultivation, which is roughly a 10% increase per year. This speed has surpassed many monks of the same generation.
"However, if there are chores such as elixir refining or weapon refining, the speed of practice will slow down. But how can you not earn spiritual stones while practicing in the world?"
After standing up and leaving the seclusion, Wei Zhong flew towards the corner of the Chamber of Commerce's formation.
At the exit of a formation, I saw Miaoli Shan and Shan Qin who had been waiting there.
Miaoli Shan was quite straightforward and put back a spiritual boat, then took Wei Zhong and set off.
Under Shan Qin's eyes, the two gradually walked away.
"There is news from the north that the strange phenomenon in Shuangwuling Mountain is getting more and more severe. The previously estimated falling time of Yinxiao Jade Dew may be advanced."
Wei Zhong looked surprised:
"How much longer?"
“It is estimated to be within two years. Of course, the situation is constantly changing, and even if it is shortened to within one year, it may not be possible.
"But relying on this spiritual boat, I can arrive within a few months."
Wei Zhong looked around, and with his experience as a weapon refiner, he could easily tell the grade of this spiritual boat.
The fourth level is low-grade, but the grade of the spirit boat cannot be compared with the magic sword, magic shield and other combat weapons. Its production is no less difficult than the magic robe, so the price is much more expensive than the three.
This spiritual boat is probably worth more than three or four low-grade magic swords. It is not difficult to replace it with a mid-grade magic sword.
‘That’s right, it’s far inferior to my own colorful golden bamboo umbrella. ’
A fourth-level magic weapon with the ability to ward off thunder is definitely a rarity. Even if it is a middle-grade weapon, its price is definitely at the level of a top-grade Nascent Soul magic weapon, and may even exceed it.
"How is this spiritual boat?"
After hearing Miaolishan's question, Wei Zhong could only reply:
"The runes are detailed and well-made, beyond my level."
Miaoli Shan curled her lips, feeling quite bored by Wei Zhong's humble words.
He casually dismissed Wei Zhong and went to find a place in the boat to meditate and adjust his breathing.
Wei Zhong also took out the jade slip in the corner and checked it. He had only been away for a few months, and he had not missed this amount of time to practice.
Because he was traveling on a fourth-level spirit boat, not many people dared to stop him in some of the places where the Alchemy Sect passed through, so the journey was quite safe.
Furthermore, the situation in Shuangwuling Mountain was unclear, and Wei Zhong and Miaoli Shan did not stop midway to see the customs and customs of each province. With his head covered, he steered the spirit boat toward the border between Yunzhou and Beiyuan.
The spirit boat traveled for eight months, and the two finally arrived around Shuangwu Lingshan Mountain.
Standing on the spirit boat, Wei Zhong finally saw what the vision in the intelligence was.
Above Shuangwuling Mountain, the sky covering a hundred miles seemed to be dyed with various dyes.
The clouds in the sky are like a flowing ocean of colors. The clouds collide with each other, and their colors are constantly changing.
"When this colorful sky turns into black and white, it will not be far away from the arrival of the Silver Sky Jade Dew," Miaoli Shan said standing beside Wei Zhong, looking at the strange scenery above his head.
Wei Zhong estimated the other party's age and guessed that this was probably the first time he had come here and seen this scenery.
The spirit boat flew down and escaped, and Wei Zhong discovered that a large number of monks had gathered outside Lingshan.
This place is located in Pingyao Mansion. There are two major alchemy formation forces in the mansion, but there is no Nascent Soul.
The location of Shuangwuling Mountain is where Danxia Sect, one of the alchemy forces, is located. It is famous for refining first to third level elixirs.
There are four pill-forming monks inside the gate, among whom the one with the highest cultivation level is the sect master in the late stage of pill-forming.
It is rumored that he has been in the late stage of pill formation for many years and is preparing to condense the baby.
‘Sure enough, if Danxiayuan is not strong enough, it will not be able to take over the business around Shuangwuling Mountain. ’
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there are large pavilions built by monks, and there are many people walking through them.
A market for trading, a cave where monks live...
They are dotted all over the land.
"Danxia Sect can earn a lot of spiritual stones just from this Shuangwu Feast," Miaoli Shan said as he looked at the lively crowd.
Wei Zhong believed in his "sense" as a senior executive of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
"Freshly baked high-quality Qi-nourishing pills and Heqi pills are on sale today, starting at 20% off..."
"The Puyang family's authentic magical weapons include flying swords and spiritual shields..."
…
There were endless cries in the market, involving spiritual beings ranging from the first to the third level. Wei Zhong even occasionally heard the cries of fourth-level spiritual beings.
Curious, I went over to take a look and found that it was a genuine fourth-level elixir, a crystal clear jade lotus.
Unfortunately, I arrived too late and was bought in advance by a monk dressed in weird clothes.
Wei Zhong pointed at the man and asked Miaolishan:
"Is that the monk Beihara?"
The latter nodded:
"Beiyuan monks are different from groups like my sect family in Yunzhou, but mostly gather together in tribes.
"Some within the group have their own unique characteristics. For example, this person wears a black feather on his head, his right arm is wrapped in black cloth, but his left arm is bare. There is a lotus tattoo drawn on the surface of his skin. He must be the Tianshan Mountain in Beiyuan. Goshawk lineage.
"The monks of this lineage have a violent temperament, and their fighting skills are extremely fierce. Don't provoke them unless necessary."
Wei Zhong nodded slowly, keeping these words in his heart.
"I'm going to look for members of the Puyang family now. Do you want to wander around this market?"
Wei Zhong chuckled:
"It just so happens that I have made an appointment with fellow Taoist Xunyangzi to meet here, why don't we go together?"
The two left the bustling city area and came to the cave where the monks lived.
Feeling the concentration of spiritual energy around him, it was only at the middle or lower level of the third level.
Wei Zhong knew why no Nascent Soul power had settled here.
Under the leadership of the Danxia Sect disciples, the two found an uninhabited cave and decided where to live.
Then he followed the message on the token to guide him to a rather luxurious cave.
"The Puyang family, as the Yuanying family in the northern region of Yunzhou, has always had a fixed territory of the cave here, which is regarded as a sign of goodwill from the Danxia Sect.
"That's why this cave looks so gorgeous."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the cave opened slowly, and Xunyangzi's figure appeared inside.
The other party was wearing a fiery red robe and bowed to Miaoli Shan:
"I've seen Senior Miao. The master of the family has been waiting inside for a long time. Please come in quickly."
Miaoli Shan nodded and stepped into the cave.
Wei Zhong followed in his footsteps and bowed his hands:
"Fellow Taoist Xunyangzi, long time no see!"
The other party also showed a slight smile:
"It's been a long time since I last saw you. My fellow Taoist has now entered the middle stage of elixir formation. I'm very happy to congratulate you."
