I traveled through time and space, and I exchanged my life for krypton

In the spirit boat, Wei Zhong looked at the dozen spiritual bamboos in his hand with a bit of joy on his face.

‘The Golden Thunder Bamboo is finally in hand. ’

Then he only needs to hone his weapon-refining skills and then refine the colorful golden bamboo umbrella.

By the way, he can start preparing for Dan-forming after practicing to the peak of foundation building.

When Wei Zhong left, Ling Ziwei had already planned to find Xu Xuan to refine weapons.

As one of the guests of Yunji Chamber of Commerce, Ling Ziwei spent a hundred contribution points to invite Xu Xuan, a third-level weapon refiner.

Wei Zhong put away the spiritual bamboo in his hand and focused on his own cultivation.

At present, he has cultivated to the eighth level of foundation building, and it will take at least ten years to reach the peak of foundation building.

But the remaining life span is not enough.

Looking at the panel: [Life span: 291/305]

This time, in order to deal with Wanyan Fu, Wei Zhong used the Time Dao method once, which consumed Wei Zhong's life span of twenty-four years.

The remaining life span of fourteen years is not enough for Wei Zhong to use the Time Dao method once.

Wei Zhong's heart moved.

[Krypton level once]

Cultivation level instantly regressed, and then looked at the panel:

[Name: Wei Zhong]

[Cultivation level: Foundation Building Level 7 (16%)]

[Life span: 266/305]

Krypton level once in the late stage of foundation building can be exchanged for 25 years of life, plus the remaining 14 years.

So there are 39 years of life, enough for Wei Zhong to perform the Tao of Time.

He did not continue to krypton level to reduce his cultivation level to the middle stage of foundation building. Wei Zhong has always had the habit of maintaining the highest combat power.

Even if he krypton leveled up in the late stage of foundation building many times, his cultivation level would not fall to the middle stage of foundation building.

Anyway, with Wei Zhong's current cultivation speed, it would not take a few years to return from the seventh level of foundation building to the eighth level.

Back to Yunxia Island, Wei Zhong and Xie Linghua were affectionate for a while, and then stepped into a deep level of cultivation.

Daily practice, and by the way, hone the skills of refining.

Five years passed in a flash, and Wei Zhong's cultivation returned to the eighth level of foundation building. At the same time, his weapon refining skills returned to the proficient level of the third level, and he was halfway to mastering it.

Wei Zhong planned to start refining the second-level colorful golden bamboo after he mastered the third-level weapon refining skills, in preparation for the third-level refining.

In the past few years, as Wei Zhong accumulated proficiency in refining weapons, Yunxia Island added a new industry, which was the sale of second-level magic weapons.

Most of them were second-level middle and lower-grade, and there were few high-grade magic weapons.

The spiritual fire in Wei Zhong's hand went out, and he poured the spiritual liquid into the mold. When the spiritual liquid cooled and formed, it was exactly the shape of a small green sword.

Unlike forging iron weapons, practitioners have a variety of ways to refine weapons.

Among them, for spiritual materials other than gold and iron, they did not forge iron blocks like that.

Instead, the spiritual materials were turned into flowing spiritual liquid, and then poured into the mold. After forming, runes were engraved on the magic weapon to enhance its toughness, rigidity and other characteristics.

Those with high skills can also engrave special runes such as attack and defense on the magic weapon. These runes are not to enhance the material of the magic sword itself, but a kind of magic rune.

The magic weapon becomes a carrier for casting spells, which can be activated as long as spiritual power is injected.

For example, at this moment, Wei Zhong engraved a soul storage rune on this second-level top-grade magic sword.

As its name indicates, this magic array is a rune specifically used to store spiritual power.

This rune occupies the hilt of the magic sword, and a golden vein appears on the blue magic sword.

And located on the sword body is another attack rune selected by Wei Zhong, the second-level magic wood thorn technique.

This sword has a soul storage rune to supply spiritual power for it, and it can activate this attack magic without the need for the monk to manually inject spiritual power into the body.

One of the advantages is that it can be triggered even if the monk's spiritual power is exhausted, and the casting time is much shorter than the monk manually injecting spiritual power.

Moreover, the way to trigger the magic is the divine consciousness, which means that the monk does not need to hold the magic sword to activate it, but can activate this magic remotely.

It is a bit like the mother-and-child sword. When a sword forms a stalemate with the enemy, this rune magic can be activated to achieve an unexpected effect.

This kind of magic weapon is especially suitable for those monks who are weak or cautious.

After refining, Wei Zhong put the magic sword aside with satisfaction, and then a wisp of red flame emerged from his hand.

This flame is the second-level magic that Wei Zhong bought at an auction with spirit stones a few years ago, the Golden Flowing Flame.

When performing this magic, you can use your own spiritual power to form a golden flame.

The flame level varies with the amount of spiritual power injected by Wei Zhong.

This is a way of making fire that Wei Zhong chose because he couldn't find the spiritual flame of heaven and earth.

Now Wei Zhong has practiced this magic to the proficient level, and it won't take long to enter the mastery level.

'From entry to proficiency, the spiritual power consumption of performing this method has been reduced by half. I wonder what characteristics will appear after mastering it. ’

In addition to using this golden flame to refine weapons, it can also be used as an attacking technique. Wei Zhong has recently been considering how to use this flame to perform the throwing technique.

If successful, Wei Zhong will have one more method. The throwing technique can also be used in front of the world with the golden flame, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by Wanyan Fu.

Putting away the golden flame, Wei Zhong came out of seclusion with the refined magic weapon.

He sent a message to Xie Linghua, and then handed the storage bag full of second-level magic weapons to the other party.

The other party reached out to take it and said, "Master, Sister Ling is ready to form a pill."

Wei Zhong was stunned, and then thought that five years had passed.

Ling Ziwei's cultivation had been perfected many years ago. Five years ago, she harvested the Golden Thunder Bamboo, and Xunxuxuan refined two colorful golden bamboo umbrellas for it.

Coupled with the secret technique of tribulation obtained from Tantai Lin, it was also time to form an elixir.

It should be said that preparations for forming the elixir began five years later, which was a little later than Wei Zhong expected.

"Where is the spiritual place chosen to form the elixir?"

Xie Linghua replied: "Sister Ling rented a third-level cave in Yuelan City through the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

‘You don’t need to attract enemies anymore, so you choose a safer way to form pills? ’

Wei Zhong clapped his hands and planned to return to Dongtian for retreat again. Since the other party chose to retreat in Yunlan City, there must be alchemy monks to protect him. With his safety guaranteed, there was no need for Wei Zhong to show his attentiveness.

After returning to the cave and practicing for only three months, Wei Zhong received the news that Ling Ziwei had successfully formed the elixir.

It will hold an elixir-forming ceremony in January at Fuzhou Island along the Luo River.

This spiritual land is a third-level mid-grade spiritual land, which was leased by the Ling family from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

In the past few years, the Ling family has accumulated a lot of wealth by using the spiritual objects in the secret place.

During this period, Wei Zhong was commissioned many times to refine elixirs, most of which were second-level elixirs.

There are also a number of third-level elixirs such as Haoyuan Pill, Soul-Nourishing Pill, Dust-falling Pill, etc.

Just selling the elixir made the Ling family make a lot of money. Only then did he have enough financial resources to rent a third-level spiritual land that could accommodate everyone in the Ling family, from mortals to pill-forming ones.

This time Ling Ziwei formed a double pill, the Ling family instantly became the focus of the entire Luohe Mansion.

In Luohe Mansion, where there is no apparent Nascent Soul power, pill formation is the sky.

Excluding the sects with many pill-forming sects, there are only a handful of immortal cultivating families with double-formed pills.

It can be said that the Ling family is almost at the top of the immortal cultivating families in Luohe Mansion.

Wei Zhong cannot be absent from this grand ceremony.

After spending some time preparing for the ceremony, Wei Zhong and Xie Linghua went to Fuzhou Island on the day of the ceremony.

On this day, there were many monks coming and going, and on the way Wei Zhong went there, he could see many escaping lights heading towards the Ling family.

It was even more lively than when Ling Hua formed the pill.

"Master, Sister Ling's ceremony is really lively," Xie Linghua said with a bit of envy.

Wei Zhong drank a glass of spiritual wine and replied calmly:

"The Ling family has a dual-density alchemy sect. They have just rented a new spiritual land to expand their territory. It is the time when they need people. It would be strange if they cannot attract casual cultivators at this time."

Wei Zhong looked at the escape light outside the flying boat and guessed that except for some of the people watching the excitement, most of them probably wanted to join the Ling family and become their guests.

The guest minister of the Jiedan family has a lucrative job in Luohe Mansion, which is rich in resources.

There is no need to explore the outside world or fight monsters. You only need to complete various tasks assigned by the master, such as exploring secret realms, refining elixirs, setting up formations, etc., and you can steadily earn spiritual stones.

It's much better than fighting alone as a casual cultivator.

While he was thinking, the flying boat had arrived at Ling's house.

Putting away the flying boat, Wei Zhong and Xie Linghua landed together.

The Ling family monks came forward to greet him and saw that the visitor was Wei Zhong. The clever Ling family disciples quickly informed the two pill-forming ancestors in their family.

After a moment, two figures flew over, it was the Ling family brothers and sisters.

Ling Ziwei stepped forward and held Xie Linghua's hand, then pulled her to her side and started talking and laughing with her.

Ling Hua looked at Wei Zhong and said:

"The ceremony was busy and I couldn't welcome you in time. Please forgive me, Brother Wei."

"Haha, Brother Ling's words are just out of context. Why are you and I talking about this?"

Everyone around them saw that Ling Hua, the head of the Pill Formation family, was brother-in-law with a foundation-building monk. Those who had never seen Wei Zhong's face were immediately surprised.

"Who is this Foundation Establishment Taoist? How come he is so familiar with Senior Ling?"

"You don't even know Master Wei. This is Wei Zhong, the famous third-level alchemy master in Luohe Prefecture. It is rumored that most of the third-level elixirs released by the Ling family in recent years are from his hands," the answerer said with a tone of voice. Envy and admiration.

But not everyone respects Wei Zhong. Some people said with a bit of yin and yang, "Oh? Is he the cash cow of the Ling family?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Master Wei just has a cooperative relationship with the Ling family.

So far, he has never shown any intention to join the Ling family, but is a pure casual cultivator.

In recent years, I have not only practiced alchemy, but also started to refine weapons. The Qingfeng sword in my hand was made by Master Wei.

Such people are the lucky ones for us as casual practitioners. "

······

There were countless people talking around, and Wei Zhong heard them all.

He remembered the faces of the guys who deliberately spoke ill of him, and planned that if these people came to his door to refine weapons or elixirs in the future, Wei Zhong would not do business with them.

After chatting with Ling Hua for a few words, Wei Zhong took out a bottle of elixir and a magic sword, and said to Ling Ziwei:

"Having not yet wished Fairy Ling a successful elixir formation, this spiritual elixir and magical sword will be used as a congratulation to the fairy for her elixir formation."

Ling Ziwei took the two things with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Wei spent a lot of money."

Seeing this, the master of ceremonies who was responsible for recording the prayers immediately wrote a few words on the big red paper on the table, and then shouted loudly:

"Yunxia Island, Master Wei Zhongwei, gave me a bottle of Haoyuan Pill and a third-level magic sword!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding monks were in an uproar. The most common worship of a foundation-building monk was a hundred-year-old spiritual object, worth about a thousand spiritual stones.

How could Wei Zhong come up with a whole bottle of third-level elixir and a third-level magic sword right away? The value of this is more than the wealth of countless foundation-building casual cultivators.

"As expected of a third-level alchemist, he is so rich," many cultivators sighed at Wei Zhong's wealth.

Some cultivators also found a bright spot: "Could it be that the third-level magic sword was made by Master Wei himself?"

Some cultivators who are quick-witted have already come up with an idea.

It's difficult to be a guest of the Ling family, why not join Master Wei?

······

Listening to these discussions, Wei Zhong didn't care.

Ling Hua did say with some surprise: "I didn't expect that only five years have passed, and Brother Wei has another skill after alchemy that has entered the third level."

Although he was mentally prepared when he saw Wei Zhong repairing a third-level magic weapon five years ago, he felt unreal when he actually saw Wei Zhong's weapon refining technique break through the third level.

After a while of conversation, the Ling brothers and sisters took Wei Zhong into the mansion.

Because the ceremony had not officially started yet, the two of them allocated a small courtyard for Wei Zhong and Xie Linghua to rest.

The Ling brothers and sisters left to take care of various matters required for the ceremony.

After resting for half an hour, Qingze came to visit.

"Daoyou Wei Zhong, I haven't seen you for many years. I miss you very much," Qingze said with a smile.

Qingze is now in high spirits, as a casual cultivator who joined the Ling family in the early years.

He is highly valued by the Ling brothers and sisters, and now among the guests, he is a person of high power.

"Haha, Daoyou Qingze doesn't look like he misses me now. Daoyou has lived well in the Ling family these years."

Qingze shook his head: "It's just that I'm busy with the affairs of the Ling family. After years of hard work, I got a dust-reducing pill. I can't compare with Daoyou Wei who is proficient in alchemy."

Over the years, some of the dust-reducing pills that the Ling family asked Wei Zhong to refine have flowed into the market for auction, and some have been exchanged by the guests of the Ling family.

This is the method used by the Ling family to win over some late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

For such cultivators, the only goal is to form a pill.

A casual cultivator may not be able to earn the spiritual stones needed to buy a dust-reducing pill after working hard for a lifetime, but this only takes a few decades for the Ling family.

Even if they cannot accumulate enough contributions to exchange for the dust-reducing pill, they can definitely exchange for some pills and magic tools.

It is precisely because of this kind of generous treatment that so many casual cultivators are attracted here.

After chatting and laughing with Qingze for a few minutes, the Dan-forming ceremony began immediately.

Wei Zhong walked into the banquet under the leadership of Qingze.

This ceremony is divided into three levels. The highest one is in the white clouds on the top of a spiritual mountain, and the middle one is on the mountainside. Below it are the Qi-refining cultivators and mortals.

According to the arrangement of the Ling family brothers and sisters, Wei Zhong is naturally at the highest level, sitting with the Jindan cultivators.

More than a dozen people sit between the clouds in the sky, and under them is a special cloud-like magic tool.

There was an independent table in front of everyone, filled with various spiritual liquids and spiritual food, some of which were of the third level.

Wei Zhong picked up a piece of unknown third-level spiritual meat and put it in his mouth. As soon as the spiritual meat touched the tip of his tongue, it turned into a ball of cool and gentle spiritual energy.

Wei Zhong closed his eyes and enjoyed it. Xie Linghua beside him immediately poured Wei Zhong a cup of spiritual tea.

‘If you drink too much, it’s also very good to occasionally use some spiritual tea to adjust. ’

“Daoyou Wei Zhong, this stone sparrow tastes good, right?”

It was Xu Xuan beside him who transmitted the message to Wei Zhong.

There were only two people sitting at the table who had established their foundation, namely Wei Zhong and Xu Xuan.

As the shopkeeper of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce in this mansion and a third-level master of three skills, Xu Xuan was qualified to sit here.

At the same time, he refined a seven-color golden bamboo umbrella for Ling Ziwei to help Ling Ziwei form a pill.

This time, the Ling family specially invited him to the pill formation ceremony.

Apart from Wei Zhong and the other two, the rest of the people seated were all Jindan, including representatives of major Jindan forces, and Sikong Changming, a Jindan cultivator who was familiar with Ling Hua.

"Spotted Sparrow?" Wei Zhong asked in confusion.

Xu Xuan had already taken the initiative to answer:

"That's right, this bird is a new type of spiritual bird cultivated by my Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

Its spiritual meat contains rich spiritual energy, and the meat of this bird is now a big seller in Yunzhou.

It's just that it's rare in Luohe Prefecture where there are not many Jindan cultivators."

Wei Zhong understood, no wonder he had never heard of this kind of spiritual bird.

Wei Zhong chatted with him through voice transmission while dealing with other Jindan cultivators.

As a third-level alchemist, Wei Zhong naturally had to be wooed by the Jindan forces. Now that they were gathered together with the help of Ling Ziwei's Jindan Ceremony, many forces extended olive branches to Wei Zhong.

But Wei Zhong ignored the generous treatment offered by the other party and rejected them one by one.

Wei Zhong looked at a yellow-robed female cultivator, whose name was Song Linfang. She was the palace master of the Zhigang Palace of the Jindan Sect of this prefecture. She was a cultivator who had mastered both the Dharma and the body.

Wei Zhong had always been curious about the unique body-refining technique "Forging Gang Method" in his sect.

So he sent a message to her: "Fellow Daoist Song, is it true that your palace's "Forging Gang Method" cannot be passed on to others?"

The other party put down the wine glass in her hand and replied with a helpless look:

"Please forgive me, Master Wei. Our sect's techniques will never be passed on to others. If you are really curious about our techniques, you can come to my Zhigang Palace as a guest.

I promise that I will offer my techniques to you with both hands at that time."

Wei Zhong shook his head.

‘I have been practicing as a free cultivator for many years and am used to freedom. I only joined the Yunji Chamber of Commerce because the Chamber of Commerce does not assign compulsory tasks to its guests and gives them considerable freedom.

But if I join a sect, it is hard to say. ’

Wei Zhong needs the "Forging Gang Method" just to add icing on the cake when he forms a pill, but he does not necessarily need this method.

During the banquet, Wei Zhong chatted and laughed with the other Jindan cultivators, and did not show any fear because of his inferior cultivation.

Many of the Jindan cultivators at the banquet had previously traded with Wei Zhong.

After the banquet, both the host and the guests were happy.

As the cultivators at the banquet dispersed, Wei Zhong also said hello to the Ling brothers and sisters and left.

Looking back at the people who stayed at the Ling family, Wei Zhong murmured:

"The waves wash away the sand, and I wonder how many people can get on the big ship of the Ling family."
