Chapter 240: Late Nascent Soul Stage, Little Purple Cloud Pill
Wei Zhong came out of the cultivation state, slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
His sight was already towards the panel.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul Stage·Level 7 (1%)]
[Lifespan: 877/1200]
"Finally, I have reached the late Nascent Soul stage."
Wei Zhong stretched his body:
"A late Nascent Soul cultivator can enjoy a lifespan of 1,200 years, which is twice that of a Jindan cultivator and more than four times that of a foundation-building cultivator.
"This lifespan of more than a thousand years is enough to witness the rise and fall of the cultivation world. For those low-level cultivation families, it is enough to bring about changes like the sea and the earth.
"From now on, there will always be enough self-protection power."
Wei Zhong came out of retreat, and the mountain protection formation had been fully restored under Ling Ziwei's repair.
No more time and energy was spent on investing puppets in it to make the Five Elements Killing Formation.
Wei Zhong had a rare leisure time.
As expected, more than a month after leaving the retreat, Wei Zhong received a summons from Hongxu.
Shan Gu personally came to invite Wei Zhong to go with him.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Wei Zhong was prepared for the summons.
‘It’s okay to accept a mission, but I hope Hongxu won’t be too stingy. ’
Concealing his cultivation, Wei Zhong returned to the formation outside the Demon Eye Passage.
He saw Hongxu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
What surprised Wei Zhong was that the other party had not been guarding in the Demon Suppression Tower.
Instead, he was drinking by himself in the high-altitude clouds outside.
He bowed slightly:
“Hello, Senior Hongxu.”
The latter saw the two people sitting down, waved his hand, and called them forward, pouring a glass of spiritual wine for each person.
“The specialty of the Polar Star Sea, Orchid Tears, try it!”
Hearing this, Wei Zhong knew that his guess was almost right, and there was no chance to refuse.
However, the Divine Transformation cultivator personally poured the wine, and it looked like the wine was of a fairly high grade, which was enough to give Wei Zhong face.
Wei Zhong looked down and found that the wine was indeed as its name suggested.
The color was blue-purple with a hint of black, and the black sediment swirling in it slowly rotated in the cup, like a blooming flower.
Seeing Shan Gu drinking, Wei Zhong also pretended to sip the rim of the cup.
At first tasting, there was a faint floral fragrance in the mouth, but surprisingly, there was not much spiritual energy, which surprised Wei Zhong.
Until the cup was finished, the spiritual energy was still gone.
Putting down the jade cup in his hand, he saw Shan Gu staring at him with surprise.
Wei Zhong looked at the wine cup in his hand, and after he drank it in one gulp, only a thin layer of it was gone, and he immediately knew that it was bad.
Sure enough, within three breaths, a surging spiritual energy rose from his lower abdomen.
It was so fast that even Wei Zhong, who was in the late stage of Yuanying, was a little overwhelmed for a while.
The Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art was running at a very fast speed, and at the same time, the Seven Apertures Thunder Art was also activated, trying to speed up the absorption of spiritual energy in the body.
Seeing the silver lightning flashing around Wei Zhong, Hongxu nodded secretly.
‘It is indeed the Seven Apertures Thunder Art of the Xie family. What Dan Gu said is feasible. ’
Just as he was about to help Wei Zhong relieve it, he suddenly seemed to notice something and his hand movement stagnated.
“Senior?”
“This kid has a solid foundation. A small cup of Youlan Tears can’t stop him.”
Sure enough, after more than ten breaths, Wei Zhong eliminated the spiritual energy impact in his body and slowly opened his eyes.
With a sigh, he still arched his hands:
“Thank you for the wine, senior.”
This wine is a reward, but also a test. Wei Zhong knew that he wanted to use this trick to test his own body refining skills.
The fourth-level body cultivator has a much tougher body than the spiritual cultivators of the same level, so he can naturally withstand the impact of spiritual energy much better.
Just a cup of spiritual wine is enough to expose Wei Zhong's physical cultivation completely.
'Fortunately, the spiritual cultivation of the late Nascent Soul can still be concealed. '
Although he has entered the late stage, Wei Zhong did not want to expose it immediately.
Hong Xu's eyes showed admiration:
"Yes, there are indeed many mysteries in the dual cultivation of Dharma and body. Can you have such a strong talent in thunder magic, but do you have a thunder spiritual root?"
Wei Zhong shook his head:
"No, it's just that I got a suitable pill formula. I have made outstanding achievements in alchemy, and with the blessing of Nascent Soul cultivation, I have made rapid progress..."
Hearing the ambiguity in Wei Zhong's answer, Hong Xu did not ask more questions.
'A mere thunder cultivation pill can't bear such a fast cultivation speed. There is a little secret, but it doesn't matter...'
"I called you here, I think you have already made a plan in your mind."
"Junior understands, is it because of the Jie family's matter?"
Hongxu rubbed his chin with his right hand a few times, nodded and said:
"That's right, the "Seven Aperture Thunder Art" was inherited from the Jie family of Jixinghai, which is the ten thousand year inheritance of their family, inherited from the former sect Yu Lei Zong...
"Unfortunately, the racial war ten thousand years ago beat the Yu Lei Zong half crippled, and the cultivators in the sect also had many disagreements and gradually fell apart.
"Finally, many cultivation families represented by the Jie family, Luo family, Ge family, etc. were formed. Ten thousand years have passed, but now only the Jie family remains, and other families are hard to find traces."
'It's no wonder that the immortal cultivation family under the sect inheritance holds such an upper realm inheritance. ’
“The Xie family’s ancestor is very powerful, but he is concerned about the survival of the family and does not care about the disaster of the demon clan. This time, you are needed to persuade him.”
Wei Zhong smiled bitterly:
“I am just an idle cultivator. How can I have the ability to persuade the senior who has reached the state of transformation?”
Hongxu put on a smirk:
"People like Wei Xiaoyou who are talented enough in the "Seven Apertures Thunder Skill" are always the ones that the Jie family is keen on marrying.
"As long as Taoist friends show their thunder skills in front of their clan members, many women from the Jie Family will soon come to the door..."
Wei Zhong was surprised. He never expected that Hong Xu had this idea.
"If we can successfully establish a marriage relationship with the Jie family, then I don't have to worry about my future cultivation resources. After all, it is the Huashen family, and its accumulation is so rich that even I can't compare with it."
Wei Zhong was helpless. Although he was also very enthusiastic about the cultivation resources in his words, it was not his style to just eat soft food like this.
Seeing the hesitation on Wei Zhong's face, Hongxu also knew that this empty talk could not convince him.
He had no choice but to take out a jade bottle, which contained a red-purple elixir, and slowly pushed it to Wei Zhong:
"This elixir is called Xiao Zixia Dan. I improved it based on the fifth-level spiritual elixir Zixia Dan. It is at the top of the fourth level. If a monk in the late Yuanying stage takes it, it will be enough to last thirty to sixty years of practice. .
"A mid-term monk like you can increase your power by 50% on this basis."
Wei Zhong looked at the elixir bottle, his expression that had always been unmoved finally changed a bit.
"Junior, can you take a closer look?"
Although he knew in his heart that Hongxu, as a cultivator of spiritual transformation, would not deceive himself, but as an alchemist, he was still very curious about such high-level elixirs.
Hongxu waved his sleeves, indicating that he would like to go.
Wei Zhong opened the cork and saw that there were golden spiritual lines on the elixir. The elixir's power was locked into it without any leakage. Compared with ordinary fourth-level elixirs such as Peiyuan Dan and Tianye Dan, , indeed have completely different characteristics.
"Senior, to be honest, I am really keen on this elixir. But is such a small thing really worth paying such a price?"
Wei Zhong expressed his doubts at the right time.
‘If evil comes, how can the Jie family survive alone? What's the difference between inviting someone earlier rather than taking action later? ’
"Little things?" Hongxu glanced at Wei Zhong, shook his head and smiled:
"What a small thing."
He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying:
"Do you know the divisions between realms of spiritual transformation and cultivation?"
Wei Zhong replied thoughtfully:
"It seems to be the same as the level of Nascent Soul, the same as the three realms of front, middle and back."
"Then take another guess at what level of cultivation I am?"
"This..." Wei Zhong hesitated, "This junior can't guess."
Hongxu chuckled twice:
"To be honest with you two, I am still in the early stages of becoming a god as I practice so far."
When he said this, there was a trace of obvious loss in his eyes.
Wei Zhong and Shan Jie looked at each other, neither of them dared to answer.
"Not only this old man, but also fellow Taoist Bai Heng and fellow Taoist Chen Gong of the Chen family are all in the early stage of becoming gods. It seems that in this world, the level of becoming gods is close to the upper limit of the world, and the speed of cultivation has been greatly slowed down.
"The difficulty of breaking through is far beyond our expectations."
When Wei Zhong heard this, he immediately understood:
‘No wonder he tried so hard to find a way to ascend. ’
"Most of the gods in this world are in the early stage of cultivation. Only those who have the opportunity can break through to the middle stage. As for the later stage, it cannot be achieved by ordinary opportunities.
"That Taoist friend from the Jie family has a rare cultivation level in the middle stage of divine transformation. His strength is so strong that one person can defeat three or four early stage fifth-level demons without falling behind. Even if they are against the same level, in this demon-suppressing With the cooperation of towers, one can defeat many.
"It can be said that as long as the ancestor of the Jie family sits in this demon-suppressing tower and the demons do not appear in the late fifth level, it will be impossible for the demons to set foot in our human world."
Wei Zhong thought deeply:
‘But what’s the difference between the demon clan fighting in the passage and fighting in the human world? ’
Wei Zhong had no idea that the demons in the past summoned the real demons from the upper world through the ascension platform.
This was what Hongxu was worried about, so he tried his best to block the demons in the passage and prevent them from taking a step beyond.
This is enough to buy more time for the human world to contact the spiritual world.
"As long as I accept this mission, no matter whether I succeed or not, this little Zixia Pill will belong to me."
Wei Zhong thought about it for a moment and decided to accept it.
Arriving at the late stage of Nascent Soul, Wei Zhong could notice that the speed of cultivation slowed down again.
Without the aid of good elixirs, I am afraid that I will have to stay above this level for a long time.
This Little Purple Cloud Pill is indeed something that Wei Zhong is in short supply at the moment.
‘It has only been a few years since I went to Ji Xinghai, and this pill is enough to make up for the time of going back and forth. ’
With a measure in mind, Wei Zhong raised his head and replied:
"This junior is willing to accept this matter, but there is one more request. This junior needs this Little Zixia Pill, or even the recipe for the fifth-level Zixia Pill, so it is best to have a matching elixir."
Hearing Wei Zhong's words, Hongxu frowned, as if he felt that Wei Zhong was trying too hard.
Shan Ji also felt very bad and kept saying:
"Fellow Daoist Wei..."
Wei Zhong shook his head:
"I'm not asking for free gifts from my seniors, but I plan to exchange them with meritorious deeds."
A trace of surprise flashed in Hongxu's eyes:
"This elixir is not cheap, let alone the accompanying elixir."
"It doesn't matter, senior will just quote you."
After a while, Wei Zhong looked at the merit points that only he could see, and sighed in his heart.
A total of four hundred merit points were spent, most of which were spent on the elixir, and only a small part was needed for the elixir.
"You have a lot of merit points, but I don't know where you got them. If you hadn't changed the refining method in the Demon Suppression Tower before, you could have accumulated enough to exchange for a fifth-level magic weapon."
"At this time of year, how can you hide your merit points and not use them? It's better to seize the time to improve your strength."
"I can see the situation clearly," Hongxu took out a storage bag.
There are two jade slips in it, each containing two pill prescriptions. There is also a set of supporting elixirs for refining Xiao Zixia Dan.
As for the requirements for refining Zixia Dan, according to Hongxu, he has collected all of them himself. Even if there is, it will not be entered into Huntian Ce, but the elixir will be refined to increase one's own cultivation level.
Wei Zhong looked at the elixirs in the storage bag. There were many medicinal materials that were more than 10,000 years old, and some were even older than 50,000 years.
‘No wonder it’s so expensive! ’
After putting away the storage bag, I heard Hong Xu warn:
"The Little Zixia Pill is the top level of the fourth level, and is almost halfway to the fifth level. Before your alchemy skills have improved to this level, don't take the risk of refining the elixir and waste these elixirs."
Wei Zhong nodded:
"Thank you, senior, for informing me.
"Junior, there are still some things that I have not yet dealt with. We will return to Yunzhou City and we can set off in one month."
"It doesn't matter!"
Hongxu didn't pay attention to the one-month buffer time requested by Wei Zhong.
He waved his sleeves and ordered Wei and Zhong to retreat.
Not long after leaving this place, the escaping light transformed by the red beard penetrated deep into the Demon Suppression Tower again, staring at the fifth-level demon with vigilance.
When returning to Yunzhou City, Shan Jie looked a little apologetic:
"I took it upon myself to drag Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong into this matter. It really lacks consideration..."
"The guild leader is just doing his best for our human race. Besides, I also received generous rewards from Senior Hongxu."
Thinking about the Little Purple Cloud Pill in Wei Zhong's hand, Shan Ji felt a little sad:
"The Little Zixia Pill is indeed very precious. It often requires monks to make great achievements before they are rewarded. Senior Hongbeard's generosity this time is a bit unexpected...
"With the help of this elixir, I believe that Fellow Daoist Wei will be able to enter the late Nascent Soul stage in a few years."
'That's a good reason. ’
Wei Zhong and his party returned to Yunzhou City. When they separated, he took out the jade slip with information about Ji Xinghai and handed it to Wei Zhong.
"Then after next month, come back to find Fellow Daoist Wei."
Wei Zhong handed over his hand and returned to Yunxiao Lingshan.
In the training room, Wei Zhong sat cross-legged, took out the Xiao Zixia Pill, and swallowed it.
The brief impact of spiritual energy was easily eliminated by Wei Zhong, and what followed was a steady stream of vigorous spiritual energy emanating from it.
"It's like carrying a fifth-level spiritual vein with you. No wonder it has the help of thirty to sixty years of practice.
"It's just my foundation, I'm afraid these thirty years are enough."
Wei Zhong took out the jade slip of the elixir prescription. After examining it, he wisely did not start refining the elixir. Instead, he turned around and refined the elixir wholeheartedly.
