Chapter 328: Crowded with Visitors
A month before the fall of Qingfeng Ridge,
Liu Jin walked to the side of the head of the Liu family and bowed respectfully:
"Father!"
"What's the situation?"
"Most of the disciples of Qingfeng Ridge have been captured. That old man Yuan did not show up. I found that he had died in the cave.
"It seems that the injuries from the small heavenly tribulation were too serious and he could not survive."
Hearing this, Liu Yu sighed:
"This old guy Yuan was also a genius in the past. He entered the realm of refining emptiness within two thousand years. Now he is in the middle stage of refining emptiness, but he can't even get through the second small heavenly tribulation. It's a pity..."
Liu Jin disagreed with this. The other party's lifespan was close to the limit. If he could not break through the late stage of refining emptiness within a few hundred years, he would still die because of the limit of his lifespan.
"I also captured many of the disciples of Qingfeng Ridge who escaped with resources.
"But there are still three people wandering outside, which is quite difficult to deal with."
"Oh, tell me about it!"
"One of them is Yan Fengzhi, the eldest disciple of Yuan Lao'er, with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Spiritualization. He accidentally joined the Xuanxiao Sect and is currently a disciple of the True Person Lianxu Yuhui."
Liu Yu frowned:
"The Xuanxiao Sect is not someone we can provoke at the moment. Just be careful of this person in the future, and don't provoke her for now."
Liu Jin nodded:
"As for the other two, one is a member of the Bai family, Bai Changhong, and the other is Yuan Zhengsong's granddaughter Yuan Caiqin. The two were desperate and joined the Shahe Sect."
"Shahe Sect? The sect where the Five-Colored Taoist is?"
"That's right, father, do we need to go and ask for help in person?"
Liu Yu stood up and looked at the rolling white clouds in the sky in the distance, thinking again and again:
"Your uncle suffered a loss at his hands. You have just been promoted to the Refining Void stage, and you may not be his opponent...
"I still have to come in person, but..."
With the status of the Liu family in Feiyu Immortal City, it is really embarrassing for the head of the family to go to Shahe Sect to ask for help for two Qingfengling descendants.
"Well, you go and ask first, and bring three Qinglian Condensing Qi Pills to show your sincerity. If you can get the two Qingfengling remnants back, it would be better. If the latter refuse, don't force it. "
"Yes, father."
Since getting the pill formula and spiritual medicine plants from the two people in Qingfengling, Wei Zhong has been either practicing or taking care of spiritual medicine all day.
One day, when Wei Zhong was loosening the soil for the spiritual medicine, he suddenly received a message from the outside world.
"Someone from the Liu family? "
The visitor was Liu Jin, the son of the Liu family's new Refining Void Master and the head of the Liu family.
Wei Zhong thought about it and chose to meet him.
Inside the reception pavilion, Wei Zhong's figure slowly emerged:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, how come you have time to visit me today?"
Liu Jin stood up and exchanged pleasantries with Wei Zhong, explaining the purpose of his visit.
"I heard that the two young people in Qingfeng Ridge have joined Fellow Daoist Wu Se?"
Wei Zhong's face did not change at all. He held the tea bowl in his hand, took a sip gently, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Liu is well-informed."
The latter flicked his sleeves, and three pill bottles instantly fell on the table between the two:
"Three Qinglian Condensing Qi Pills, please accept them, Fellow Daoist Wu Se. As for the two people, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wu Se can give them to my Liu family?"
Wei Zhong put down the tea bowl and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Qinglian Condensing Qi Pills are good things, but they are not enough. Qingfengling offered a sixth-level pill recipe, plus a complete set of spiritual medicines, to seek my protection.
"How can I go back on my word with such a generous gift?"
Liu Jin was a little confused when he heard that Qingfengling was willing to pay such a price, but he changed his mind and said:
"Since Fellow Daoist Wu Se has already received the benefits, just hand the two over to me and I will ensure that such news will not be leaked..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Zhong:
"I am a businessman after all, how can I go back on my word?"
At this point, it was an obvious refusal.
Liu Jin frowned:
"Fellow Daoist Wu Se, you are not giving my Liu family face."
Wei Zhong sneered and continued:
"I will not hide it from you, fellow Daoist, Qing Feng Ling handed over the sixth-level spiritual elixir Ning Yuan Miao Dan. If your Liu family can give me a copy of the Qing Lian Ning Qi Dan recipe and the matching spiritual medicine and even seeds, I might consider it carefully.
"But it's just three pills, and you want me to break my promise. Even if Liu Yu comes, he is not qualified, let alone you?"
"Show me away!"
Jiang Changyu heard this and stood up from behind Wei Zhong:
"Senior Liu, please!"
Liu Jin's face was ashen, and he looked at Wei Zhong angrily:
"You!"
At the same time, seeing Jiang Changyu's actions, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Release your own spiritual pressure, and in an instant, the latter's shoulders trembled.
"Hmph! "
Wei Zhong snorted softly, and the shadow under his feet twisted, extending toward the ground like a living thing, and came between Jiang Changyu and Liu Jin.
The latter felt a terrifying chill approaching, and subconsciously took two steps back.
He saw a dragon-like corpse appear in front of him, which was several heads taller than Liu Jin, and was surrounded by black corpse gas, giving him endless pressure.
'How could this corpse be so strong?'
Liu Jin had heard before that the Five Colors of the Shahe Sect did have a sixth-level corpse, but it was only an ordinary sixth-level lower-grade level. In terms of fighting strength, it was far inferior to the cultivators of the same level.
But the corpse in front of him did not give Liu Jin this feeling at all.
Like a ferocious beast that chooses people to devour, Liu Jin subconsciously wanted to retreat and avoid it.
He restrained his impulse in his heart and knew that he was no match. He handed over his hand:
"If fellow Taoist Five Colors don't want it, then I won't force it.
"These three elixirs are purely an apology for the blunder below. Please, fellow Taoist, please don't take this matter to your heart."
After saying goodbye to Wei Zhong, he turned around and fled far away, leaving Shahemen.
Wei Zhong looked at the direction in which the latter was leaving, waved his hand and took the three elixirs on the table into his hand:
"I know how to advance and retreat, but it's a pity..."
The shadow of death turned into a shadow and got under Wei Zhong.
"Don't pay attention to the Liu family. As long as I am still here in Shahemen, the other party will not betray me..."
"yes!"
Jiang Changyu bowed and saluted, and when he stood up, he found that Wei Zhong had disappeared.
He walked out of the building and met the two people from Qing Fengling halfway.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what about the Liu family's practice of emptiness?"
"Don't worry, we have been driven away by the Great Elder. You two can rest assured and stay in our Shahe Sect. The Great Elder can keep you two safe for at least a thousand years."
After nagging him for a while, Jiang Changyu left here.
Within the clouds in the mountains, Bai Changhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Caiqin was also relieved:
"Brother Changhong, this five-color Taoist indeed has some integrity."
Bai Changhong quickly covered his mouth:
"Be careful, since the two of us live in the Shahe Sect, we naturally have to respect the latter as the Great Elder. Even when Qingfengling is still there, we have to call him Senior.
"You were delicate before, but now you are no more delicate than before. You need to be cautious in your words and deeds."
The latter covered his mouth:
"Qin'er understands what Brother Chang Hong said."
The destruction of Qingfengling was like a stone hitting the Baifeng Spiritual Realm cultivation world, causing ripples and then dissipating invisible.
Its territory has been divided up by various major forces, and now even the place names have been changed by other forces.
Few people talk about Qingfengling's name anymore.
Wei Zhong looked at the large area of elixirs growing vigorously in front of him. In each cluster of elixirs, there was one that stood out. It was like the queen of the elixirs, absorbing the support of other elixirs and turning it into its own growth. nutrient.
"Almost!"
After selecting the elixir, Wei Zhong sorted it into categories, went to the alchemy room, and opened the furnace to refine the elixir.
More than three months ago, an explosion rang out, and the top of the furnace was blown away by the violent force of the medicine.
"It's still a little bit worse, the heat isn't quite right..."
Wei Zhong continued to refine the elixir, and finally, half a year later, the first Yuan-condensing elixir was released. At the same time, Wei Zhong's panel information also changed:
[Level 6 Alchemist·Proficiency (13%)]
Holding the elixir, Wei Zhong murmured:
“Finally, the alchemy skill has also been upgraded to the sixth level.
"Although the proficiency is not high, if you continue to refine alchemy, you should be able to integrate everything you have learned before, and there will be sufficient growth in a short period of time."
Wei Zhong turned his attention to the elixir in his hand. The elixir of condensation was milky white and had six levels of spiritual patterns on its surface.
However, it is obviously sparser than the Qinglian Qi Condensing Pill and Ziyang Yuan Judan.
"Sixth-level low-grade ones are indeed a lot better."
Frowning slightly, Wei Zhong took the elixir to practice, feeling the power of the medicine and feeling a little helpless.
"If the Qinglian Qi Condensing Pill is only half as effective as the Ziyang Yuan Judan, then this Yuan Condensing Pill is more than half of that.
"Both the dispersion of the medicinal power and the duration are inferior to the two elixirs.
"The only advantage is that the cost is low. Even if it fails many times, as long as the elixir success rate is not less than 40%, you will make a profit."
There was no standard price for the Ning Yuan Miao Dan in Qingfengling before. Sometimes it only cost more than twenty high-grade spiritual stones, but sometimes it could be sold at a high price of thirty spiritual stones.
Very inconsistent with the latter's physical value.
"From this point of view, just price twenty high-grade spiritual stones. In the future, my subordinates will have another way to earn spiritual stones."
Not every Void Refining cultivator would buy a sixth-level spirit bead artifact.
But the practice elixir is different. As long as one has expectations for the future path of practice, he must take the elixir to speed up his practice.
Over time, the amount of spiritual stones a Void Refining monk spends on cultivating spiritual elixirs often amounts to an astronomical figure.
This is a more stable and profitable business than selling magical artifacts.
After spending some time, Wei Zhong refined ten Yuan-condensing elixirs and went out to find Jiang Changyu. He saw that the latter was carefully giving instructions to a young man.
Seeing Wei Zhong coming, he quickly introduced:
"I have met the great elder. This is my close disciple, Yan Yong."
Wei Zhong looked around and saw that the latter was a middle-aged male monk with an ordinary face. His cultivation of divine transformation was not stable, and it seemed that he had just been promoted not long ago.
"Great Elder, although this kid is dumbfounded, he is actually very smart and is a good hand in handling sect affairs. He can also help me handle all important matters..."
Jiang Changyu talked a lot, and in his words, he seemed to have the idea of letting the latter take over the sect.
"If the Great Elder has something important to do in the future and I'm not here, you can call this person to handle it..."
Wei Zhong looked at Jiang Changyu, sensing the latter's state of cultivation.
‘The bone age is more than 2,400 years, but the remaining lifespan is only more than a hundred years. The upper limit of lifespan is much lower than that of ordinary people in the late stage of divine transformation. ’
As if he could see the doubts in Wei Zhong's heart, he smiled and said:
"This junior suffered the corpse energy of his ancestors entering his body in Guangji City. His foundation has been damaged and cannot be reversed. The upper limit of his lifespan has been reduced. Even now, he can only live for less than a hundred years."
"Don't you want to fight to refine the void? With your years of accumulation, you can still take a five-turn Dingyuan Dan, right?"
The latter nodded slightly and shook his head again:
"Don't bother anymore. This junior knows his own methods well, and there is no way to survive facing those nine thunders.
"Instead of fighting for the slim chance of survival with this broken body, it is better to stay content and live the rest of my life.
"I will handle the transfer of power within the Shahe Sect before my death, and I will ensure that I do not cause any trouble to the Great Elder."
Today's Shahe Sect is no better than before, absorbing too many people from other sects, although they are included in the management of the various peaks of Shahe Sect.
However, no one among the peaks obeyed the other. If Jiang Changyu's cultivation level was not high enough and Wei Zhong's support was not enough to suppress the situation, civil strife would have started long ago.
Wei Zhong nodded slowly:
“If you ever change your mind, feel free to come see me.
"After all, I can't be the only one in charge of this Shahe Sect."
"Junior understands!"
Then Wei Zhong took out the elixir:
"I have successfully refined Qingfengling's sixth-level cultivation elixir, the Essence Condensing Pill. Now it can be mass-produced. If you spread the word, Shahemen will have another business selling such elixirs."
Jiang Changyu was not surprised when he looked at the elixir in Wei Zhong's hand. He had long known that Wei Zhong had the elixir in his hand. A hundred years have passed since then, and this amount of time is enough to make some achievements.
After taking the elixir, Jiang Changyu bowed:
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
Then he left with the disciples behind him.
Not long after, news spread in the Baifeng Spiritual Territory that Shahe Sect was selling the Essence Condensing Pill.
"How could the elixir inheritance that disappeared in Qingfengling Ridge be in the hands of the Shahe Clan?"
In the previous crusade against Qingfengling, many forces were allowed to clean up, but no way to make money was discovered, and even the magic medicine gardens were completely destroyed by those who wanted to.
Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, news of this elixir would spread from Shahemen.
"Twenty high-grade spiritual stones, a child without any deception, if you purchase more than thirty pills within a year, you can still enjoy a 20% discount?"
"My dear, this is much more sincere than Qingfengling."
Such an affordable spiritual elixir instantly caused a sensation in Bai Feng Spiritual Domain.
In this area, aside from the sparse number of internal and external elixirs flowing in, there are only three sixth-level elixirs that can be mass-produced and circulated in large quantities.
The cheapest one is this magical elixir of condensing essence. Since Qingfengling was destroyed for many years, this elixir is almost extinct.
Many Void Refining cultivators could only buy the more expensive Green Lotus Pill, but the Liu family just sat here and raised the price, raising the price from forty high-grade spiritual stones to forty-eight.
This made the practitioners miserable and cursed in their hearts.
But talking about the Xuanxiao Sect's Ziyang Juyuan Pill is too extravagant, so I can only hold my nose and accept the bad luck.
However, with the news coming out of Shahemen, the situation changed in the blink of an eye.
For a time, Shahemen was crowded with people...
Wei Zhong was simply treated mercilessly when collecting the spirit stones.
