Chapter 280: Elixir Passage, Human Face and Dragon Body
After searching all over the city, Wei Zhong couldn't find a suitable technique, so he had to give up.
Following the direction pointed by Taofang Pavilion, Wei Zhong headed towards the strange building in the center of the city.
From a distance, it looks like a magic sword standing in the clouds, but when you look closer, you realize that it is a huge and towering mountain range.
It's just that the shape of this mountain is strange, and it looks like a magic sword. I don't know if it is a natural formation or man-made.
During this period, monks came and went, and Wei Zhong's early stage of spiritual transformation stood out among the crowd.
Passing through the flow of people, Wei Zhong climbed up the foot of the mountain and came to a city located under the Fajian Mountains.
"Phantom City."
This place is a city developed by the Huanjian Sect, and it is located not far from its mountain gate.
Because it is close to the sect's headquarters, the spiritual energy in Fang City is rich, comparable to the third-level spiritual land.
Ordinary pill-forming monks would be able to absorb spiritual energy and improve their cultivation by standing there.
But it is a pity that the time spent in the market must be purchased with spiritual stones.
The entry fee is fifty low-grade spiritual stones, and it can only last for one day. Once the time is up, you will be expelled by the Fantasy Sword Sect.
If you want to stay in Fangshi for a long time, you need to rent a cave and obtain a long-term stay certificate.
What is even more prohibitive is that the rental price of Dongfu is very high, especially for the fifth and sixth floors, which are rising from the fourth level. It is not a price that ordinary monks can afford.
Wei Zhong looked at the old man in front of him, a monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. He had a gray beard and a face full of wrinkles. He looked like he was about to be buried.
At first glance, he knew that he was a monk from the Huanjian Sect who had failed in his cultivation and was sent to do some secular work in Huanlingfang City.
"Senior, do you want to rent a cave?"
"Officially, I wonder how much the fifth-level cave here costs?"
The latter laughed twice, and a jade slip in his hand projected a mountain forest filled with stars.
"The red light spots are occupied by others, and the yellow light spots are ownerless caves. Is there anything senior that you value?"
Wei Zhong took a few glances and found that most of the caves were gathered in one place on the map, forming an almost huge crescent shape. There was an obvious black area in the crescent.
Wei Zhong pointed to this place and asked:
"Why is this area on the map unmarked?"
The latter rubbed his hands:
"This is where the sixth-level spiritual veins are located, and most of the donors are seniors in the late stages of divine transformation or true masters of void refining..."
"What's the price?"
"What?" The old man rubbed his ears, thinking he heard wrongly.
Wei Zhong repeated:
"What's the price? Pindao is interested in finding a sixth-level cave to practice cultivation."
…
After a while, the old man took Wei Zhong into a forest closer to the Fajian Mountains, and kept explaining:
"Senior, don't be too expensive. Extending thousands of miles from Faquan City, the sixth-level spiritual lands are all named and occupied by others, and are rarely used by outsiders.
"We, the Huanjian Sect, can give up a piece of land to lease to others. It is a meritorious deed done at great risk. We should also collect more spiritual stones..."
Wei Zhong ignored the old man's chatter and raised his head to look into the distance. He could vaguely see the aura of the protective formation on the outside of the Huanjian Sect's mountain gate.
Attacking the Huanjian Sect's mountain gate from this place is undoubtedly the closest direction. Of course, the cover of the protective formation must be removed.
Taking a token from the old man's hand, I could hear his words:
"This mountain top belongs to our seniors. As long as we don't deviate from the ravines below, it's all our seniors' territory.
"The token contains the authority to control the magic circle here. If senior feels that it is not safe enough, he can also set up the magic circle himself.
"Besides, on this mountain top, whether seniors want to plant elixirs or raise spiritual beasts in captivity, they can do it. As long as they don't damage the spiritual veins below, I, the Huanjian Sect, will not pursue it..."
Watching the latter leave, Wei Zhong couldn't help but shake his head and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.
While walking along the steps, I also looked at the mountains and forests around me.
The aura of this place is not very high, at most it is the level of a fourth-level spiritual land. Feeling the flow of spiritual energy in the air, Wei Zhong gradually began to have speculations in his mind.
When he stepped into the small courtyard on the top of the mountain, five levels of spiritual energy came out, and Wei Zhong knew that his suspicion had been verified.
Arriving at the most secret underground training room in the small courtyard, Wei Zhong saw a small spiritual spring, and the spiritual energy emanating from it made Wei Zhong feel extremely comfortable.
"Sixth level."
"It seems that the Fantasy Sword Sect used the formation technique to affect the earth's veins, causing all the spiritual energy on this side of the mountain to gather here, forming a small sixth-level training room."
Stretching his hand into the spiritual spring, his spiritual consciousness extended along the spiritual veins, and he saw dense formations of spiritual patterns all around.
There was also a huge sixth-level spiritual vein in the distance that shocked Wei Zhong.
"Relying on the surrounding main veins and gathering spirits, it barely reaches the sixth level.
"Although the level is not high, it is enough for me alone."
Just when Wei Zhong was snooping, someone inside the Huanjian Sect's mountain gate also felt something.
Wei Yuesheng called his disciples:
"Jibang, Linhuichuan, but a new monk has moved in? Go and find out."
The latter bowed his hands respectfully and left as ordered.
Within three days of Wei Zhong's stay here, someone else came to his door. The visitor was a monk surnamed Chang from the hill next door, who was in the late stage of becoming a god.
It seems that he is cultivating here, accumulating cultivation skills to attack Lianxu.
I heard that a new neighbor came to visit, so I came here to pay a visit:
"Fellow Daoist Wei moved here to Linhuichuan in the early stage of becoming a god, but he has a lot of money. Every time I live here for a day, I feel pain in my body!"
"There and there, spiritual stones are all external things. For us monks, cultivation is the foundation..."
The two talked happily, and Wei Zhong also asked him about many things.
"Are there any other Taoist friends in Linhuichuan?"
The latter shook his head:
"It existed before, but more than thirty years ago, that fellow Taoist went out on an adventure and never came back. After the rent expired, the cave was taken back by the Fantasy Sword Sect.
"Before fellow Taoist people came, only Pindao lived here."
"Isn't there a passing Lianxu master who has settled here?"
"Where do so many void refining come from? In this small corner of Bai Feng Spiritual Realm, there are only a handful of void refining forces. Besides, why would foreign refining masters come here to settle down.
"The Huanjian Sect is still worried that someone with evil intentions will attack its own mountain gate. How could Lianxu be let in so easily..."
The two drank spiritual wine and chatted with each other. Wei Zhong learned that the other party was not only a late-stage monk in the form of gods, but also a fifth-level array mage. He had considerable experience in array layout. With this skill, he was able to move in the Huanlingfang City. While earning cultivation resources, he rented spiritual land in Linhuichuan to practice.
"If you have one skill, it will be very easy in this Huanlingfang City."
After hearing what he said, Wei Zhong rubbed his chin:
"So, I do have some skills..."
Before he finished speaking, a ray of light flew from a distance, and a young monk wearing green and white robes fell from it.
He stood outside the formation and said:
"I heard that I have another fellow god-transformer coming to Linhuichuan, and I would like to thank Xie Zibang of the Huanjian Sect to pay my respects."
Wei Zhong looked at Chang Pingnan inquiringly and heard the latter's words:
"Every guest who stays in Linhuichuan is attracted by people from the Huanjian Sect. Wei Zhong will do it as soon as he meets him. Don't offend this person."
After opening the Xuanxu Seven Illusion Formation, Xie Jibang fell next to the two of them. After a few words, he asked Wei Zhong about his origins:
"I wonder where Fellow Daoist Wei came from?"
Wei Zhong had no intention of hiding anything and directly revealed his ascension.
Chang Pingnan was a little surprised, and Xie Jibang was even more surprised:
"Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Wei is actually an ascended person. Are you interested in joining our Illusion Sword Sect?"
Wei Zhong hesitated and shook his head:
"Before Pindao, several Taoist friends came up and I would like to discuss it with them before making a decision."
Xie Jibang was not surprised by this group idea, and just said softly:
"The small world where my fellow Taoist is located is really full of talents. In a hundred years, many gods have ascended to this world. However, it is a bit troublesome for my fellow Taoist to find others."
Wei Zhong looked puzzled, and the latter continued to explain.
"The guiding platform in my spiritual world does not correspond to the small realms below one by one. Instead, it is centered on the large guiding platform in a region and accepts multiple small realms at the same time.
"Because of the instability caused by space turbulence, even if they ascend from the same small world, they may not necessarily land in the same place."
Wei Zhong understood this clearly:
'No wonder it took so long for me to ascend. It turns out that the location has shifted. ’
"Fellow Taoist, it is very difficult for a monk to transform into a god and cross a territory. Why not join my Illusion Sword Sect and try again after you have mastered the void?"
Wei Zhong still hesitated again and again, and finally refused.
There was a bit of impatience in Xie Jibang's eyes.
Seeing this, Chang Pingnan quickly helped to smooth things over:
"Just now, fellow Daoist Wei said that he possesses an art, but I don't know what it is?"
Wei Zhong took out two elixirs and placed them on the table:
"I have good skills in alchemy."
The two of them looked at the elixir displayed by Wei Zhong, with a hint of surprise on their faces.
Xie Jibang even said:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, can I take a closer look?"
"Fellow Taoists, please do as you please."
So one person picked up the Dragon Blood Pill, and the other picked up the Zixia Pill and looked at it carefully.
The Dragon Blood Pill is no longer the version that Jie Yuanping gave to Wei Zhong before. Instead, it incorporates part of the understanding of the "Li Yuan Dragon Spirit Pill" obtained from Kyushu, and is separated from the level of ordinary body forging pills.
Giving it to monsters for consumption will have the effect of cultivating dragon blood and nourishing the bloodline of monsters.
This one is of the fifth level, and is a very precious treasure for the fifth level dragon monster.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, is there a trace of dragon blood in this elixir?"
Wei Zhong nodded:
"This elixir is very suitable for body-refining monks to take, and when given to dragon monsters, it can also help them nourish their dragon veins and purify their own blood."
Xie Jibang was greatly surprised when he heard:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, is this elixir available for sale?"
"Of course it can be sold, but the price is the only thing."
Wei Zhong had no intention of obtaining the spirit stones, but intended to exchange them for cultivation resources strictly controlled by these Void Refining Sects.
'Since it is backed by the demon world, which contains countless demon beasts with dragon bloodline, it is not difficult to find the raw materials for this elixir. ’
"I need some precious spiritual things."
While people were talking, Chang Pingnan looked at the other Zixia Pill with fascination.
"This pill seems to be much more effective than the Yuqing Pill I took."
These words immediately drew Xie Jibang's attention.
The two of them carefully identified the elixir, and with Wei Zhong's permission, they scraped off some powder and took it, their eyes lit up.
“It’s about the same as an ordinary fifth-level mid-grade Jade Qing Dan, but the quality is slightly higher by 10%.
"How much of this elixir do you have, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Wei Zhong looked troubled:
"I don't have much in my hand. I need to use it for my own cultivation. There is really not much production. And most importantly, there are not enough spiritual medicines. I need many spiritual medicines that are ten thousand years old. I don't have enough in stock."
Even if Wei Zhong was telling the truth, he was hiding something. The spiritual medicines he brought from the human world were indeed not many, and they were not old enough. But with the help of the "Secret Record of Replenishing Spirits", Wei Zhong had already produced a large number of spiritual medicines in batches for the refining of Zixia Pills.
For Wei Zhong alone, it was enough, but there was still a lot missing for the supply to Huanjian Sect.
"The spiritual medicine is not a problem. Daoyou can take out the list and our Huanjian Sect can collect it. However, our Huanjian Sect needs some of the finished pills in the future. Regarding the price, please consider it carefully."
Wei Zhong nodded. It was within his plan to use the alchemy technique to exchange what he needed from Huanjian Sect.
"In addition, my Huanjian Sect also needs this dragon blood pill, please help me."
"No problem, it's just a matter of raw materials, please support me."
The two quickly finalized the cooperation, which made Chang Pingnan, who was watching from the side, envious.
Although he has a good level of formation, Huanjian Sect does not lack a formation master like him.
On the contrary, the two strange pills displayed by Wei Zhong are rare in the territory of Huanjian Sect and even in the surrounding areas, and have a good market.
And it is a pill that can be mass-produced, which can be said to be a cash cow.
No wonder Xie Jibang is so enthusiastic.
The three of them talked for a few words and then left.
Xie Jibang has a good status in the sect, but he is not qualified to finalize such a big business. The specific details depend on his master, Huanjian Sect's head Wei Yuesheng.
When Xie Jibang brought the two pills to Wei Yuesheng, the latter immediately picked up the dragon blood pill, staring at the golden red pill.
"I didn't expect that the one who lived in Linhuichuan of my Huanjian Sect was also an outstanding alchemist."
He took out the pill from the pill bottle, scraped off the powder and tasted it.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
"This pill is good, you can buy a lot from him, my Huanjian Sect can afford it."
Then he turned his head and looked at another purple cloud pill:
"This pill is also good, it is perfect for impacting the Yuqing Pill market of Taofang Pavilion. That Jin Wenlan still wants to impact Hedao, wishful thinking..."
The transaction was finalized by Wei Yuesheng in a few words, and then he dismissed his own disciples.
Walking along the Fajian Mountains, he continued to go straight into the sky, and finally came to a cave in the clouds.
A two-horned giant beast drilled out of it, with earth-brown scales on its body, but a human face.
When it stretched out its body completely, what appeared in front of Wei Yuesheng was a giant reptile with a human face, a dragon body, and two horns on its head.
Wei Yuesheng saluted respectfully, placed the dragon blood pill in his palm, and raised it high:
"Ancestor..."
