Chapter 326: The Changing Situation, Dan Fang Invites
Wei Zhong followed his usual cautious style.
He returned to Shahemen and took out the sixth-level elixir he had just bought:
‘My cultivation speed is much stronger than ordinary refining emptiness. If I continue to practice like this, it will only take a thousand years to reach the middle and late stages of refining emptiness. ’
He closed his eyes and practiced, and Wei Zhong no longer cared about the affairs of Shahemen. Even if the latter knew that Xuanxiaozong had increased the size of the team going to Gemingyuan, they would ask Wei Zhong about it.
Wei Zhong just let them make their own decisions.
Wei Zhong did not want to control the direction of Shahemen.
For Wei Zhong, Shahemen was more like a thug force. Wei Zhong did not care about its development.
He would only lend a hand when the latter encountered difficulties.
When Wei Zhong was in seclusion, the entire Baifeng Spiritual Domain was invited by Xuanxiaozong.
Some forces thought this was an opportunity and invested a lot of manpower to go with Xuanxiaozong.
Among them, the Liu family was the leader of the virtual refining forces. As one of the Liu family's virtual refining cultivators, Liu Chengsheng personally led the team.
In addition, there were also many forces of the spirit transformation, Yuanying and even Jindan.
There were also many casual cultivators who were not doing well in Baifeng Spiritual Domain, who bought a ticket to go with them.
Of course, some people were enthusiastic, and naturally there were also people who watched.
Most of the forces in Baifeng Spiritual Domain, especially in Feiyu Immortal City, were waiting and watching.
As time passed, this group of cultivators who had returned to Baifeng Spiritual Domain, and the good news they brought caused a great sensation in Baifeng Spiritual Domain.
Many cultivators who were still Jindan Yuanying in the past, after this trip, directly advanced to a higher realm and reached the realm of Yuanying and spirit transformation.
Even two new virtual refining masters were born because of this.
One of them was from Xuanxiao Sect, and the other was from the spirit transformation family in the southeast of Baifeng Spiritual Domain.
Because of their promotion, their family annexed many nearby forces in one fell swoop and expanded their own family territory.
The gains of the returning people made many forces ignore the risks behind it and the nameless withered bones that fell in the Geming Abyss.
Then a large number of cultivators followed the footsteps of Xuanxiao Sect and went to Geming Abyss to try their luck.
There were even many refining forces participating, and a large number of refining cultivators also went there.
"Qingfengling guys, why are you here to join in the fun instead of guarding your family's alchemy foundation?"
There were quite a few refining cultivators who ridiculed the people of Qingfengling.
It was enough to show the poor popularity of Qingfengling. The latter took advantage of their own alchemy advantages to harm the independent cultivators.
As a family of alchemy, it was quite black-hearted.
A young-looking Lianxu cultivator wanted to refute after hearing such ridicule, but was stopped by an old Lianxu:
"Don't argue with him!"
Then he secretly transmitted:
"The Gemingyuan is definitely not as safe as Xuanxiao Sect said. You and these Lianxu from the same domain must cooperate with each other on this trip. Don't have conflicts because of quarrels..."
The old man taught the young man and then added:
"The Yuan and Bai branches of Qingfengling are all up to you. Don't be reckless when you go to Gemingyuan, don't force opportunities, and ensure your own safety as a prerequisite."
The latter nodded:
"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, Fang Jian will save you."
Bai Fangjian suppressed his inner impulse and suppressed his fighting spirit.
The cultivator ignored the two after seeing the conversation, and didn't continue to make trouble.
Just at this moment, the people of Xuanxiao Sect arrived, and a spirit boat flew out of their hands and kept getting bigger. Many cultivators heard the order of Xuanxiao Sect and flew to this spirit boat.
Bai Fangjian looked back at Yuan Zhengsong:
"Uncle Yuan, I'm leaving now."
"Go with peace of mind, I'm still here in Qingfengling."
The two said goodbye, and the spirit boat of Xuanxiao Sect also left a moment later.
The monks who saw them off saw the spirit boat gradually disappear from their sight.
Liu Yu, the head of the Liu family, saw Yuan Zhengsong and teased:
"Your Qingfengling is interesting. You, old man Yuan, don't go to Gemingyuan to try your luck, but let this young man take the risk. Aren't you afraid of breaking the foundation?"
The latter shook his head:
"I'm old and don't like fighting. But the young man is keen on it, and I can't persuade him, so I have to let him go."
There was not much change on his face. After saying this, he bowed to Liu Yu and left with his disciples.
"Hmph, the old fox of Qingfeng Mountain. After this battle, the two branches of Qingfeng Mountain will probably be dominated by the Chihuo Yuan family."
...
Time passed quickly, and a cultivator flew outside the Shahe Gate. When he landed below, Moro's face appeared.
"Is Fellow Daoist Wu Se still in seclusion?"
Jiang Changyu answered respectfully:
"That's right, the elder has been in seclusion for a long time and has no intention of coming out."
"Fellow Daoist Wu Se is a hard-working person."
He shook his head slightly and took out a storage bag. Dozens of pill bottles flew out and landed in front of Jiang Changyu:
"Twenty Ziyang Juyuan Pills, count them."
Jiang Changyu took a quick look and accepted them, then took out a few spirit beads and handed them to Moro.
Obviously, this was not the first time such a transaction had taken place.
"These are the spiritual beads promised by the great elder. Senior, keep them well. If you have any special requests next time, please let me know. For example, to refine the wind and thunder beads, please bring your own high-level spiritual materials..."
Relaying Wei Zhong's instructions, Moro nodded slowly after hearing it:
"I don't need to!"
Saying in the direction of Wei Zhong's retreat, Moro left.
Taking the elixir with him, Jiang Changyu came to Wei Zhong's retreat.
The corpse energy rose in front of him, and the dead shadow walked out from it, handed a jade slip to the other party, and then took away all the elixir bottles.
Holding the jade slip and looking into it with his spiritual consciousness, Jiang Changyu heard Wei Zhong's voice:
"Collect high-level five elements spiritual materials, mainly gold and water..."
After receiving the instructions, Jiang Changyu left in a hurry without thinking much.
A hundred years later, Wei Zhong took in his breath and collected his energy. A trace of confusion appeared on his face, and he murmured:
"In this realm of refining, it takes a long time to retreat once."
His eyes were wandering, and he was already looking at the panel:
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: early stage of virtual refining (second level·1%)]
【Shouyuan: 3080/8000】
'In the blink of an eye, I have been in seclusion for more than two hundred years, and I have only taken a small step in the early stage of virtual refining. How can it compare with the rapid progress before? ’
For more than two hundred years, Wei Zhong gave up almost all chores and never took a step out of this cave.
If it’s not cultivation, it’s refining weapons and practicing techniques...
The days were quite fulfilling.
Even the purchase of spiritual elixirs was left to Xuanxiao Sect Lianxu for door-to-door delivery.
In this state, Wei Zhong practiced wholeheartedly, and his weapon-refining techniques seemed to have been further enhanced.
Looking at the various five-element high-level spiritual materials collected in front of him at the cost of spiritual stones, Wei Zhong looked slightly excited:
“Within the spirit bead inheritance, the single attribute of the Five Elements Spirit Bead is the second highest, the fusion of the dual attributes of the Five Elements is slightly stronger, the Wind and Thunder Bead is the second highest, and the fusion of the five elements creates the strongest Five Elements Spirit Bead.
"It is a first-level weapon, equivalent to the top-grade magic weapon in the same realm."
After Wei Zhong accumulated hundreds of years of experience in refining spirit beads, Wei Zhong has now refined many low-level five element spirit beads.
Most of them are second and third level, and those of fourth level and above are very rare.
Now as I become more proficient in my techniques, I begin to collect high-level spiritual materials and start refining them.
"Start from the fourth level first!"
Wei Zhong lit the fire, and many spiritual materials melted at different temperatures under his control, blending with each other. Mysterious spiritual patterns were struck into the layers of wrapped spiritual beads...
This time the refining of Wei Zhong was extremely focused and very slow.
It took more than half a month to refine a fourth-level five-element spirit bead.
Carefully look at your own results and summarize the gains and losses.
Wei Zhongcai started refining the next spirit bead.
This time, another one came out in ten days, and the third time only took seven days...
Wei Zhong's refining speed is getting faster and faster. After two years, Wei Zhong already has a large number of fourth-level Five Elements Spirit Beads in his hands.
When I realized that it was time, I chose a higher-grade spiritual material and started refining it to the fifth level.
Five years passed in a flash. Wei Zhong looked at the spiritual beads accumulated in front of him and nodded slightly:
"The most important thing about the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl is the relative balance of the power of the five elements. The power of the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. It is not like dead things that are inflexible.
"Rather, among the changes in the power of the five elements, there are strong and weak, and they are constantly changing, in order to achieve dynamic mutual checks and balances..."
As Wei Zhong murmured, the flames rose again.
Once three years ago, a prototype of a spiritual bead emitting five colors of spiritual light appeared in front of Wei Zhong.
It was like a compressed spiritual light storm, constantly churning under the control of Wei Zhongzhi.
Wei Zhong had sweat on his forehead, obviously he was under a lot of pressure.
These sixth-level five-element spiritual beads were originally the highest-level magic weapon among the six levels. Forcibly refining them was beyond Wei Zhong's strength.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Wei Zhong tried his best to control it, but he still couldn't avoid negligence. His two fingers trembled, and the Five Elements Storm Group in front of him instantly escaped from his control.
It expanded rapidly, and just when it was about to explode, a five-color ball slowly appeared in front of Wei Zhong's lower abdomen.
It is the natal magic weapon, the Five Yuan Pearl.
As soon as he escaped, he came to the top of the Five Elements Storm that was about to explode.
Dreamlike five-color spiritual light hangs down from it, wrapping the storm.
The power of the Five Elements was like pressing the stop button, and the madness of the storm ended.
"What a risk, if it weren't for the previous spiritual bead refining process, it was tested that the Five Yuan Beads have a suppressive effect on this kind of magic weapon.
"Today, I'm afraid this cave will be completely blown up due to the failure of refining."
"Moreover, even if the refining fails, the spiritual materials used in refining the weapon are not wasted."
Wei Zhong's mind was drawn, and a suction force emanated from the Five-Element Pearl. A hazy spiritual light rose from bottom to top, rising from the scattered storm group.
All absorbed by the Five Yuan Pearl.
In this way, the prototype of the magic weapon that was about to explode became the nourishment for the five-yuan pearl, the natal magic weapon.
These discoveries were made accidentally by Wei Zhong when he was refining weapons a hundred years ago.
Under the control of Wei Zhong, it has a certain suppressive effect on the explosion of the spirit beads, which is most obvious for the five elements attributes.
The power of wind and thunder is second.
Moreover, it can also absorb the scattered power of the Five Elements, thus avoiding losses due to failure in refining the spirit beads.
"Unexpectedly, the best magic weapon for this spiritual bead magic weapon is actually my natal magic weapon.
"The broken bag that Liu Chengsheng worked so hard to refine is only worth a few spirit beads.
"Let me bring you five yuan beads, but they are endless. As long as my body can bear it..."
As Wei Zhong's natal magic weapon, Wei Zhong naturally has the ability to control the loss of the power of the five elements in the spirit bead.
It is equivalent to a reservoir where one party can freely control the water level. As water is continuously released, its content can be called endless.
"If you encounter someone who uses the Five Elements Spirit Beads to deal with me in the future, you can also use your own Five Elements Beads to target one or two..."
Abandoning all distractions, Wei Zhong began to recall the mistakes in the refining process and summarize the gains and losses.
The next month, he planned to start refining the furnace again.
Unexpectedly, before the furnace fire was lit, a new letter flew into Wei Zhong's cave.
"The two major refining cultivators in Qingfeng Ridge both encountered accidents. Bai Fangjian was besieged by several major refining cultivators in Gemingyuan because he was competing for opportunities with other cultivators. He was seriously injured and nearly died, and was stranded in the outer domain...
"Yuan Zhengsong suffered serious injuries due to his failure to deal with the small heavenly tribulation.
"Qingfengling is leaderless now. The two branches of the Chihuo Yuan family and the Danshou Bai family even had internal conflicts because of this..."
"Heh, Qingfengling is so unlucky. In a short period of time, two major Lianxu families had accidents at the same time.
"The young Lianxu was seriously injured due to the chance and it is difficult to recover. Even the old guys in the family were injured in dealing with the heavenly tribulation and could not care about the turmoil of the two families.
"I'm afraid this injury is not light, and it's only a step away from death."
What's more important is the rest of the content:
"The major Lianxu forces joined forces to come to the door and want to swallow up the Qingfengling family business at this time."
"That's a good idea. Although Qingfengling has been suppressed by the Xuanxiao Sect and the Liu family in the alchemy business in recent years, it is much stronger than most Lianxu forces.
"The family business is too big, I'm afraid it won't surrender."
Read more:
"Liu Yu, the head of the Liu family, came forward and promised to help Qingfeng survive the crisis during this period. As for the price, it means that the Yuan and Fang families of Qingfengling will be intermarried and merged into the Liu family..."
Although the words sound nice, it is also a ruthless move to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot.
When Qingfengling was at its peak, its strength could not be compared with that of the Liu family, not to mention the weak current generation of the clan.
Such an agreement is not much different from giving all of itself to the Liu family.
After this battle, it is likely to become a vassal of the Liu family.
Wei Zhong can see the Liu family's scheming, and others are no exception.
Qingfengling's transformation spirit asked Xuanxiao Sect to leave, but unfortunately Xuanxiao Sect was busy with the matter of Gemingyuan, so where could it have such leisure time?
Just replied lightly that it was not an internal matter of Xuanxiao Sect and it had no intention of interfering.
Xuanxiao Sect was unwilling to intervene, and other refining forces were even more unscrupulous.
Some people even set up a palace outside Qingfengling, waiting for someone to take the initiative to attack and completely divide Qingfengling.
"This scene is so similar to Guangji City before! "
Wei Zhong shook his head slightly.
In this cultivation world, once you are weak, you will inevitably be watched by others. The law of the jungle is the highest rule in this world.
After Wei Zhong read this message, someone came to visit him a few days later.
It was someone from the Chihuo Yuan family of Qingfengling.
Wei Zhong looked at the letter in his hand:
"Use the recipe of Ningyuan Miaodan in exchange for my help?
"You Qingfengling are dreaming. You want me to stand on the opposite side of so many Lianxu forces with just a recipe?"
