Chapter 1: My lifespan is over at the beginning, I level up to save my life
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 8 (46%)]
[Skill: Bilang Gong·Proficient (95%)]
[Lifespan: 136/137]
“Three days of life left! Reducing from Qi Refining Level 8 to Qi Refining Level 7 can be exchanged for 10 years of lifespan”
Wei Zhong looked at his wrinkled hands and sighed.
How did he travel through time to a dying person?
Wei Zhong, one of the spiritual farmers of the Yan family, a cultivation family, apparently planted spiritual fields for the Yan family for most of his life, until yesterday, when his lifespan was exhausted and he passed away.
The remaining three days of lifespan were due to Wei Zhong’s soul traveling here.
“Ding Ding!”
There was a knock on the door. Wei Zhong had been planting spiritual fields for most of his life, and was reluctant to live in the cave in the spiritual land. He only built a small courtyard between the spiritual fields.
“Yuan’er!”
Looking at the young cultivator outside the door, Wei Zhong looked normal.
This person is Wei Zhong's apprentice who came from the mortal world thirty years ago. He has four spiritual roots, which is one inch better than his five spiritual roots.
The other party is eager to learn the Tao, so Wei Zhong brought him to the Yan family market and led him into the immortal way. He has now reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. Like Wei Zhong, he is also a spiritual farmer of the Yan family.
He established a relationship with the Yan family's side branch ten years ago, and he doesn't care much about Wei Zhong as a master.
However, he heard from somewhere that Wei Zhong's lifespan was about to end, so he would visit him every once in a while.
The predecessor Wei Zhong naturally understood that the other party wanted to eat his inheritance. But he was busy with cultivation and lifespan and didn't pay much attention to him.
However, the predecessor's qualifications were too poor, and he failed to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and died of exhaustion.
Wei Zhong traveled here and replaced Wei Zhong's body, and his life was coming to an end.
"Master Wei is not in good condition. Do you need me to go to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion to get some herbs?"
"No need. You are still young. You should save some spirit stones and practice hard. You don't need to worry about my old bones."
Ning Yuan nodded, chatted with Wei Zhong for a few words and left.
'The old horse is about to die, and the wolves are around! '
Although Ning Yuan looked sincere, Wei Zhong, who had traveled through time, also saw his wolfish ambitions.
I still have the means to downgrade and prolong my life. How can I let this kid eat my feast?
Closing the courtyard door and returning to the house, Wei Zhong made up his mind.
"In exchange for 10 years of life."
With only three days to live, Wei Zhong had no choice but to sacrifice one level of realm in exchange for ten years of life.
The cultivation level instantly regressed to the seventh level of Qi Refining (46%), and the spiritual power in the body shrank. In exchange, Wei Zhong was much more energetic and no longer full of old age.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7 (46%)]
[Lifespan: 126/137]
It turns out that this is not a way to extend life by increasing the upper limit of lifespan, but directly reducing one's bone age.
Wei Zhong showed a happy expression, which gave him a lot of room for maneuver.
He pinched his fingers and used a first-level middle-grade spell, [Invisibility·Mastery (37%)].
I couldn't sleep well because my old bones were being targeted by the evil disciple, so I had to follow him to see.
Wei Zhong has lived a lifetime, and his immortal realm is not high, but he has a lot of experience in the martial arts world. The martial arts experience before entering the immortal path was one of the capitals for his predecessor to cultivate until the end of his lifespan.
At the same time, Wei Zhong knew that he was not talented enough, so he worked hard on the magic.
Although the various magics were not of high level, their proficiency was quite high.
Following Ning Yuan's footsteps, he followed to a small house next to the rice field. The sound of two people talking came from inside the house.
"How is the old man?"
Face the question from the man in front of him, Ning Yuan shook his head.
"He's not dead yet. How long has this old man resisted? If he doesn't die, how can you get his inheritance? How about we kill him together?"
Ning Yuan's eyes flickered, as if he was hesitant, but he still said:
"Master is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and you and I are only at the fifth or sixth level. The risk is too great. Let's wait for him to die of old age."
"Oh, you just wait. Maybe the Yan family will take away all your master's inheritance by then, leaving you with nothing to drink."
Ning Yuan struggled. As a famous spiritual farmer of the Yan family, Wei Zhong's wealth was not only coveted by himself, but also by others.
Recently, many descendants of the Yan family have tried to become their disciples.
"Wait until next time. I'll visit him again next month. If he's not dead yet, you and I will do it together."
Hearing this answer, the other side smiled happily.
"I'll do it, Brother Ning!"
Wei Zhong, who was lurking outside the house, flashed a fierce look.
Back in his courtyard, Wei Zhong cursed in a low voice:
"What a wicked disciple, he even wants to kill his own master for a few resources."
No, I can't just sit there and wait for death, I have to take the initiative to attack and kill the threat in the cradle.
Wei Zhong, who absorbed the memory of his predecessor, unconsciously became similar to him in his behavior.
Then he looked at the panel.
The regression of realm caused the reduction of spiritual energy in the body, but the difference between the eighth and seventh levels of Qi Refining was not obvious.
In addition, Wei Zhong's fighting relied on various highly proficient spells, so Wei Zhong's strength did not decrease much.
There are six levels of spells: entry, proficient, master, grandmaster, and peerless. Most Qi Refining cultivators are hovering at the entry standard.
It can be barely stimulated, but the casting speed and power are hard to describe.
Only some people can reach the proficient standard.
Wei Zhong is different. He was born with an excellent talent for spells and has practiced various spells to a very high standard.
This is also the ability of the predecessor to settle down. Of course, the predecessor who was as stable as an old dog hid all this very well, but now it is convenient for Wei Zhong to do things.
Wei Zhong grabbed a stone from the ground, injected spiritual energy into it, and then threw it to the ground. There was no sound of explosion, only a thumb-sized hole was left on the ground, but it was unknown how many meters deep into the ground it was.
Throwing Skill·Mastery (38%)
This is one of the techniques that Wei Zhong is best at. Although it is only a low-level ordinary technique, when Wei Zhong has practiced it to the proficient level, it has become a big killer.
The spiritual power is restrained and extremely penetrating.
Even monks at the peak of Qi refining can compete.
However, just to be on the safe side, Wei Zhong still took out two small black balls from his storage bag.
It was about the size of a thumb, and Wei Zhong didn't know what kind of material it was made of, but it didn't suffer any damage even if it collided with the magic weapon.
It goes very well with the Flying Throwing Technique.
night,
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wei Zhong used his invisibility technique, dressed in black, and headed to the courtyard where Ning Yuan was.
The spiritual farmers hired by the Yan family have been exploited by them for many years, and most of their harvest every year is taken away by them, leaving only a small part in their own hands.
Therefore, spiritual farmers are not rich, and most of them build a courtyard near their spiritual field.
The same goes for Ning Yuan.
What surprised Wei Zhong was that although it was already late at night, there was still firelight in Ning Yuan's room, and the sound of cups being pushed and cups being replaced could be heard from inside.
"Brother Ning, we have agreed that you and I will have half of Old Wei's family property."
There was a drunken voice, and Wei Zhong recognized that it was the person who planned with Ning Yuan during the day.
"That's natural. Brother He has led me to earn so many spiritual stones. I have to rely on Brother He to take action this time. Naturally, I can't treat him badly."
"Haha, it's no wonder that big brother takes care of you all day long. Come on, let's have a drink."
‘Huh, I really miss you. ’
Wei Zhong was hiding outside the window, and the drunken two people in the room didn't notice him at all.
‘In this case, disciple, it’s no wonder that the master is ruthless. ’
Wei Zhong held the stone ball in his hand and aimed at one of them.
"Whoosh."
Ning Yuan was clinking glasses with the person in front of him when he suddenly noticed that his arms were drooping, half of his body was slumped on the table, and red blood was flowing from his head.
His eyes shrink and he screams.
But before he could speak, he felt a pain in his head and lost consciousness.
Wei Zhong ducked into the room and looked at the two people who were completely breathless, with a look of regret on his face.
‘I want to live this life well and don’t want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, so why force me. ’
After removing the two people's storage bags, two fireballs appeared in Wei Zhong's hands, burning their bodies to ashes.
The Yan family has a lot of spiritual fields for rent, and there are even more casual cultivators waiting to farm. The disappearance of the two spiritual farmers did not attract the Yan family's attention, and soon new casual cultivators took over their remaining spiritual fields.
In a flash, Wei Zhong left.
Back in his own courtyard, Wei Zhong took out the two people's storage bags, looked into them with his spiritual sense, and looked happy.
‘I didn’t expect that my disciple would have such a net worth. ’
However, looking at the incomplete magic weapon with blood stains, I guessed that it must have done a lot of calamity and repairs.
The same was true for another person's storage bag. There were a lot of magic weapon fragments mixed in, but the number of spiritual stones greatly exceeded Wei Zhong's surprise.
Too few. As a robbery cultivator who exchanged cups with Ning Yuan, there were too few spiritual stones in the storage bag.
Wei Zhong rummaged for a while and finally found a bottle of elixir in the corner.
"High-quality Qi-nourishing Pill?"
Qi-nourishing pills are the most commonly used pills for Qi-refining monks. They are divided into four levels: low-grade, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade.
Casual cultivators often use low-grade Qi-nourishing pills. Although the medicine has mediocre potency, it is more cost-effective.
Even monks in the late stage of Qi refining only occasionally use mid-grade Qi nourishing pills.
Wei Zhong has lived for such a long time, and although he has been in the late stage of Qi refining for more than twenty years, he has never used a high-grade Qi-nourishing pill.
Without it, it's too expensive.
One bottle of high-grade Qi-nourishing Pill can be exchanged for four bottles of medium-grade pills, or ten bottles of low-grade pills.
Such a high price cannot be afforded by casual cultivators.
A small monk in the middle stage of Qi refining actually possesses such a precious thing.
It happened that I needed pills to improve my cultivation, so the poor Taoist smiled and accepted it.
How could Wei Zhong know that this bottle of top-grade Qi-nourishing Pill was used by the robbery cultivator to attack the bottleneck of the sixth to seventh levels of Qi Refining?
For this reason, the elixir almost exhausted all the spiritual stones in his hand, and he was eager to attack Wei Zhong.
After sorting it out for a moment, he moved the important items into his own storage bag, leaving the unimportant items in it, and then hid the two storage bags in the hidden compartment on the beam. Be prepared to find an opportunity to deal with it.
As expected, the disappearance of the two people did not cause much waves at all.
The steward in charge of the spiritual field of the Yan family saw that Ning Yuan's spiritual field was unattended, so he immediately gave the spiritual field to other casual cultivators.
In addition, there were also rumors that a descendant of the Yan family was missing.
‘A branch of the Yan family? Could it be the monk I casually killed that day? ’
Wei Zhong recalled the "good Samaritan" who was pregnant with the top-quality Qi-nourishing Pill.
Forget it, whoever he is.
If I do it cleanly, no one can find it on my head.
