Chapter 331 Rumors About the Sun's True Essence
Although Yang Bao's status is not simple and he is extremely rich, it is difficult for him to take out so many spiritual stones just to collect a spiritual object like Wei Zhong.
In the storage bag, there are a total of fifty top-grade spiritual stones, which is almost equivalent to the wealth of most early-stage Void Refining monks.
However, for Wei Zhong, this spiritual stone is just a small expenditure.
Wei Zhong has earned much more spiritual stones than this by selling elixirs and magic weapons over the years.
"Fellow Taoist Five Colors has excellent craftsmanship. If he can join our Five Elements Immortal Sect and receive training from the sect, he might become a seventh-level alchemy master in the near future..."
Just like Le Xinghai back then, Yang Bao also had the idea of introducing Wei Zhong to join the Five Elements Immortal Sect.
It's a pity that Wei Zhong's attitude is still as firm as ever.
‘If you are cultivating well in Shahemen, why should you go to a place like Five Elements Immortal Sect where there is conflict between forces and ask for trouble? ’
"The Immortal Sect's successor, Pindao, is also very envious. Unfortunately, I'm used to it, but I don't like gang fights."
"Fellow Taoist Five Colors can see clearly, but it's a pity that there is no truly free place in this world? Even if Taoist friends practice here and want to be alone, outsiders will not agree.
"Sooner or later trouble will come knocking on your doorstep."
Wei Zhong naturally understands this truth. The Liu family had been quite hostile to Wei Zhong before. If the incident over Mingyuan had not diverted the latter's attention, he would have dealt with Wei Zhong long ago.
There are also the forces that secretly spread rumors, which are also inseparable from the Liu family.
"As I said before, when the soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it up. I have practiced Taoism for many years, and my cultivation is not the result of humiliation.
"There may not be many monks who die at the hands of my subordinates."
Wei Zhong's words were quite confident, which made Deyang Baosheng look a little strange:
"It seems that the poor Taoist has underestimated fellow Taoist Five Colors, but I would like to ask fellow Taoist to be on guard.
“Many forces have suffered setbacks in the Abyss, and there has been no progress for a long time.
“If this continues, the monks who don’t get any benefits will sooner or later disperse to nearby areas.
"Baifeng Spiritual Realm is only separated by a territory, and sooner or later it will become the border of chaos."
"All kinds of monsters, ghosts and snakes. The sect monks are fine, but those unfettered casual cultivators may not abide by the rules.
"The temporarily assembled alliance may become the prototype of the birth of a new force..."
Wei Zhong heard Yang Bao's words and had some thoughts on this.
Over the years since the Abyss has been developed, as many monks have benefited from it as many have died in it.
Many forces were destroyed as a result.
The Qingfengling Ridge that Wei Zhong knew well was one place, and the territory left by these forces was a privileged spiritual land.
Although divided among nearby local forces, they are not monolithic with each other.
If there is enough external pressure, these spiritual lands will still return to the hands of some high-level monks who form a group to form a new force.
Based on this derivation, Bai Feng Spiritual Realm cannot escape a period of turmoil.
Not to mention these casual cultivators, even the sect or family cultivators who had withdrawn from the Abyss were enough to stir up the Bai Feng Spiritual Realm, which had been peaceful for a long time.
‘I’d better keep the basics of the Shahe Sect and work hard to improve my own cultivation so that I can be more able to deal with troubles from the outside world.
'in addition……'
"I'll look for the way to Tianyin Lei Mountain from my fellow Taoist. You may have some clues."
Yangbao put down the wine glass in his hand:
"There is indeed some news, but I'm afraid fellow Taoists will be disappointed when they hear it."
"Fellow Taoist Yangbao, why don't you tell me?"
“The Kangle Spiritual Realm in the northernmost part of our Five Elements Immortal Sect, and the Guangfu Spiritual Realm in the southernmost part of Tianyin Lei Mountain.
“There used to be large spiritual boats that traveled between the two places, but recently due to changes in the sun, an extremely complicated fire cloud disaster occurred.
"It has become extremely difficult for the spirit boat to travel here. For one pass, the amount of spiritual stones consumed just to maintain the spirit boat's protective shield is an astronomical number, enough to pass three or four times before.
“For cost considerations, the cross-domain spirit boat has been stopped by the upper echelons of the sect.
"We still don't know when it will be opened again. And there is a high probability that after it is opened, the ticket price will also increase..."
When Wei Zhong heard Yang Bao's explanation, he couldn't help but wonder:
"The change of the sun, the disaster of fire and clouds? What is this?"
Yangbao replied
"Have you, fellow Taoist Five Colors, ever heard of the True Essence of the Sun?"
Wei Zhong looked hesitant:
"But the true essence of the sun is related to the Mahayana realm?"
"Exactly, the practice of Mahayana captures the true essence of the sun and the brilliance of the lunar moon, and uses the power of the two to reshape the physical body and solidify the soul.
"Since then, I have achieved an immortal body with endless lifespan. I can borrow the power of the law and become a Mahayana Sanxian.
"If you survive the ninth heavenly tribulation, you can ascend to the immortal world and become a true immortal."
When Wei Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but say:
"Could it be that this fire cloud disaster is related to the True Essence of the Sun, and that another Mahayana being will appear in the spiritual world?"
Yangbao just shook his head:
"Who knows, when it comes to the Mahayana level, it is no longer something that we, the Void Refining monks, can know.
“Similarly, we naturally hide as far away as possible from people with the same level of power as Mahayana monks.
"Fellow Taoist Five Colors, just wait for this fire cloud disaster to pass. Or you can go around other areas and go to Tianyin Leishan Territory, but there are difficulties..."
Yang Bao has made the stakes very clear, and Wei Zhong is not a newbie who has just entered the world of spiritual practice. He is well aware of the dangers and tediousness on the road.
"Brother Yang said, please remember it carefully!"
Wei Zhong's cultivation level is still far away from He Dao, and the sudden thunder disaster has not yet come to Wei Zhong. Even the upcoming minor catastrophe is still at least two thousand years away.
Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to go to Tianyin Lei Mountain to obtain the thunder method. The reason why he entrusted Yang Bao to inquire about the news was just to prepare for a rainy day out of habit.
The two talked over wine, and Yang Bao left with the storage bag.
Wei Zhong was not worried that he would monopolize these fifty top-quality spiritual stones. With his status, he could not afford to take advantage of this.
And even if he was embezzled, fifty top-quality spiritual stones would not be a big deal to Wei Zhong. At most, he would have to spend more time earning them back from elixirs and magic weapons.
After Yang Bao left, Yan Yong stepped onto the stone steps in the mountain, step by step, came to Wei Zhong, bowed and held his hands in his hands:
"Report to the Great Elder, Yan Fengzhi of Xuanxiao Sect has sent another message."
Wei Zhong looked a little impatient:
"What's the trouble this time?"
Since Yu Hui died in the Abyss many years ago, Yan Fengzhi has lost the protection of the master of refining the void, and his status within the sect has plummeted.
If it weren't for his cultivation in the later stages of becoming a god, his status as a disciple of the Xuanxiao Sect might have been removed.
But even so, his life was quite difficult.
He was ostracized everywhere within the sect, not only unable to obtain enough resources, but also even developed grudges against the powerful people of the sect for various reasons.
Over the past few hundred years, Wei Zhong has been sought for help many times.
Wei Zhong was happy to help at first, but as the number of times gradually increased, he became a little annoyed.
"This time it's the young master of the Cao family. He is very interested in Yan Fengzhi and wants to become a Taoist couple with him..."
"It's really bullshit..."
Xuanxiao Sect, as the only Taoist force in Bai Feng Spiritual Domain, is naturally full of factions within it.
The Cao family is one of them, and the ancestor of the family is the void refining monk Cao Shen whom Wei Zhong met at the weapon refining exchange meeting.
He is a weapon refiner himself and Gong Maoyun's junior brother.
The Cao family is a powerful lineage within the Xuanxiao Sect.
Under the influence of such family power, it is understandable that the disciples would be arrogant and domineering.
"Don't worry about it, let her figure it out on her own."
"But Elder Bai also asked for mercy..."
The elder Bai that Yan Yong mentioned was Bai Changhong who joined Qingfengling hundreds of years ago.
His spiritual transformation cultivation has been integrated into the Shahe Sect over the past few hundred years, and he has become a peak elder.
"Oh, how come, I still have to give him Bai Changhong's face?"
Yan Yong had sweat on his forehead and quickly knelt down:
"Don't dare..."
Wei Zhong waved his hand:
"Let those boys from Qingfengling calm down and don't think that they can speak in front of me just because they have made some achievements in our Shahe Sect.
"There is also Yan Fengzhi. I promised to provide him with cultivation resources before, but I have no obligation to help him deal with obstacles to his cultivation.
"Don't bother me with such mundane matters again. I'm very busy and don't have this kind of free time."
After speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Wei Zhong had no interest in being a nanny, and his original promise to provide Yan Fengzhi with training resources was just for the sake of inheriting the alchemy inheritance.
A recipe for a sixth-grade exquisite and wonderful elixir would be enough for Wei Zhong to use for thousands of years.
This kind of treasure is the reason why Wei Zhong is willing to devote his resources to spiritual transformation.
As for the rest, Wei Zhong really didn't care.
Yan Yong's ears echoed with Wei Zhong's words, and he walked down Lingshan Mountain with cold sweat on his back.
He cursed in his heart that he had been sitting on top of the sect leader for too long, and he got a little carried away. He accepted the benefits from Bai Changhong and thought about persuading the great elder.
After walking down the mountain and out of the formation, Yan Yong saw Bai Changhong and Yuan Caiqin, who had been waiting here for a long time. Their arms were linked and they looked intimate.
Seeing this, Yan Yong felt an unknown fire in his heart.
When the two saw Yan Yong returning, they quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Brother Yan, the great elder said that?"
What greeted him was Yan Yong’s sneer:
"Why do you say that? Are you asking about the people from Xuanxiao Sect?"
Shaking his head:
"The Great Elder has a lot of things to do every day. He has no time to deal with such nonsense. The two Taoists should find a solution on their own."
After leaving these words, he waved his sleeves and left without paying attention to the stunned looks on their faces.
"Brother Yan..."
The two of them called, but there was no response.
"Husband, this..."
Bai Changhong frowned:
"It seems that the great elder doesn't want to pay attention to it, so we should find other ways.
"Can Senior Sister Yan still hold up?"
Yuan Caiqin shook his head:
"The Young Master of the Cao family is pressing hard, and I'm afraid Senior Sister won't be able to withstand it. If there is no more help, Senior Sister will really become that person."
"It's really troublesome. It would have been better if Senior Sister and I had invested in the Shahe Sect, and we wouldn't have been bullied by such powerful people," Bai Changhong said helplessly.
The two of them had advised Yan Fengzhi to leave Xuanxiao Sect and join Shahemen as early as when Yu Hui died.
However, the latter believed that Xuanxiao Sect disciples had a higher status and had better access to platforms and even better cultivation resources.
For a moment, I couldn't let go of the sect's robe. I persisted for hundreds of years, but unexpectedly ended up like this.
"Brother Tong has no news recently. He has been in that secret realm for many years and has not returned. I am afraid that something unexpected happened and I cannot rely on him.
"We can't wait anymore. Let Senior Sister Yan withdraw from Xuanxiao Sect and take refuge in Shahemen."
Hearing this, Yuan Caiqin looked worried:
"But, will this anger the Great Elder? I..."
"Let's try it out. Senior sister and the Great Elder have a promise that they will not stand by and watch someone die. If it doesn't work, we will take out some of the things in the storage ring and ask the Great Elder to help."
The two quickly finalized it, and then drafted a letter sword and sent it to Feiyu Immortal City.
Wei Zhong didn't know the little thoughts in the two people's minds, and he had no interest in the game between these gods.
Now, his eyes are full of the sea dragon wood that he just got.
"Sea dragon wood, grind it into powder, as the yin side of the pill refining process..."
Recalling the description in the pill formula, Wei Zhong made a preliminary treatment of this spiritual object, and then went to the spiritual medicine garden in the backyard and picked a few exquisite hexagonal flowers.
After Wei Zhong's cultivation, the age of this flower vine has increased by dozens of times, and it has successfully reached 100,000 years.
The price is part of Wei Zhong's life span and a large number of top-grade spiritual stones.
Compared to cultivating golden thunder bamboo, it costs much more.
This is because there are too few flower vines. The cultivation of the number of flower vines in the early stage took a lot of time and resources, and a lot of resources were invested in the later stage.
Only now there is the only one hundred thousand year old exquisite hexagonal flower vine.
The spiritual flower has six petals, representing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as the yang attribute.
This yang is not a rare thing like the true essence of the sun, but a lower-level yang energy.
The sea dragon wood is a yin attribute. The combination of yin and yang and the unity of the five elements are the reasons why this exquisite pill is difficult to refine.
This is also the reason why the people of Qingfengling think that this pill is stronger than the purple sun condensing Yuan pill.
The combination of yin and yang is always better than a single yang attribute.
"Crush the petals and blend them into the sea dragon wood powder..."
Although Wei Zhong is refining for the first time, he has seen the various refining processes countless times and has memorized them by heart.
In addition, the exquisite pill is an advanced version of the condensing Yuan pill. There is a certain connection between the two. For Wei Zhong, it is much easier to use than other sixth-level treasure pills.
The fire of the pill rose, and all kinds of spiritual medicines were thrown into the pill furnace by Wei Zhong one by one...
"Master Cao, I just want to practice well, why do you have to force me?"
Yan Fengzhi looked at the male cultivator in front of him, with a helpless look in his eyes.
Cao Fangjin and Tong Gongmo were disciples of the same period of the God Transformation Realm.
Both of them were trapped in the God Transformation Realm for many years and could not break through.
The difference is that what trapped Tong Gongmo was resources, while what trapped Cao Fangjin was his mind.
However, the latter seemed to be unaware of it, and collected methods for promotion to the Refining Void Realm everywhere, and found a dual cultivation method from somewhere.
Increasing Yin and replenishing Yang, he wanted to take the path of Yin and Yang unity.
Yan Fengzhi was no longer the first female disciple he had harmed.
There were several people before, but unfortunately, I don’t know if it was because those people’s cultivation was not enough, none of them succeeded.
Cao Fangjin then shifted his target to Yan Fengzhi, who was helpless in Xuanxiao Sect.
