LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 241 Polar Star Sea, Demon Pill Seed Spirit
One month passed, and the medicinal power of this Little Zixia Pill was completely digested by Wei Zhong.
Looking at the panel attentively:
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Late Nascent Soul·Seventh Level (86%)]
"According to Hongxu, a small Zixia Pill is enough to last thirty to sixty years of cultivation in the late Yuanying period of an ordinary person.
"It seems that it is not very effective on me. If you want to advance your cultivation to the peak of Nascent Soul, you will need at least three Little Zixia Pills.
"It's a pity that this elixir is precious and difficult to refine. You have to spend time practicing it."
After leaving the customs, Wei Zhong said goodbye to Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua, and then came out of the mountain to see Shan Ji who had been waiting here for a long time. The latter surrendered:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, shall we set off soon?"
Wei Zhong nodded and stepped into his spirit boat.
“This journey is thousands of miles long, and we still need the Lord to guide us...”
After the two exchanged a few words, the spirit boat drew a line of green light and disappeared into Yunzhou City.
Recalling the information jade slip given by Shan Ji, Wei Zhong murmured in his heart:
"Jie Jia, one of the deity-forming forces in Ji Xinghai..."
The Ji Xing Sea, just as its name describes, is a vast sea area that is completely different from the two Fengyun states. Among them, the spiritual islands are dotted in this ocean like stars in the sky.
The Jie Family is located in the southwest of the Polar Star Sea.
Its sphere of influence is not large, only a few hundred miles, but the level of the spiritual land within it is very high. There is a fifth-level spiritual island that is the envy of everyone else, and there are also many fourth-level spiritual islands in the surrounding area.
It is such a spiritual place that has supported the continuous development of the Jie family for thousands to thousands of years.
But now the Jie family is in danger of running out of lifespan of their god-forming ancestor.
At this point, Wei Zhong couldn't help but ask Shan Ji:
"The last time the guild leader visited the Jie family, he saw his clan transforming into gods."
Shan Jie shook his head:
"Wei Zeng, I only saw the head of the family once, and then he was sent back, without any chance to see the ancestor.
"In addition, Fellow Daoist Wei, you can just call me "fellow Daoist" when you go out, no need to be polite."
Wei Zhong's eyes were confused:
"Then where did the news that this senior Jie has a short lifespan come from? Is it based on the inference of his lifespan, or is it something else?"
This question stumped Shan Ji, who looked thoughtful:
"All the major forces in the Polar Star Sea think so. Even Senior Hongbeard thinks the same way. There is a high probability that there is no mistake. As for why, I don't know."
Wei Zhong took out the jade slip and looked into it with his spiritual consciousness.
‘In the Jie family, the cultivator Xie Yuanping, the cultivator of the gods, the clan leader Jie Fan in the late Yuanying stage, and the other two tribesmen Xie Shijia and Xie Ruolin who are in the middle Yuanying stage and early Yuanying stage respectively.
‘After excluding this cultivator, the high-level monks of the Jie family are not as good as those of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. No wonder the ancestor of the Jie family is so focused on peace of mind, regardless of external enemies. ’
"How could the Jie family be reduced to a level where the Nascent Soul level is worse than that of my Gathering Chamber of Commerce?"
The decline of the Yihuashen family and the accompanying death of the Huashen monks are quite reasonable.
However, the ancestors of the Jie family are still alive and very active. How could such a situation allow the Jie family to become like this?
Even the Qingmu Sect, which has an average sect's foundation, can produce a Nascent Soul cultivator with a hundred years of accumulation.
The Jie family is wealthy, so it makes no sense that only these three Nascent Souls exist.
He slapped the edge of the table with his forearm:
"The reason for this is uncertain. I just haven't recorded it in the jade slips. It is said that a hundred years ago, the Jie family was not like this. At that time, the Jie family was still at its peak, and there were endless disciples of younger generations in the family with unique talents.
"There are eight Yuanying monks, ranging from five hundred to a thousand years old. The entire Jie family is in a prosperous scene.
“But this grand scene suddenly stopped at a certain period of time.
"Fewer and fewer Nascent Soul cultivators from the Jie family showed up. At first, everyone thought that these people were in seclusion. As time went by, they learned that five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Jie family had become incarnate in a short period of time.
"But I don't know the reason. Later, a rumor gradually spread among the people.
"The Jie family has found a secret place of the Yulei Sect that existed thousands of years ago, and wants to sneak into it to explore and find an opportunity for the Jie family's ancestors to break through to the late stage of divine transformation.
"Unexpectedly, an accident occurred, and most of the monks in the clan died. The opportunity for promotion was not found, and the Jie family fell into a state of insecurity because of this."
Wei Zhong stroked the jade slip:
"Does the Jie family react to this statement?"
"Of course there is, but it is only limited to the early stage of the incident. As for such statements becoming more and more popular after that, I just don't bother to care anymore."
He raised his head and looked at Shan Jie:
"What do fellow Daoist Shan think of this rumor?"
"Just treat it as an anecdote. After all, it is an unfounded guess. Only the Jie family knows how the changes in the Jie family happened."
The two chatted for a long time and arrived at the sky above the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, in front of the void and natural barrier.
Before the cyan spirit boat could stop, a layer of white spiritual light rose up around it and plunged into the turbulent flow of space.
"This boat is made of special materials and can travel through this place. If Fellow Daoist Wei does not have such a spatial treasure, he must carefully consider traveling through this dangerous area."
Wei Zhong looked at the unique scenery outside the boat, and the divine thunder within his body was ready to move.
‘This place is probably not dangerous to me. ’
After traveling through the Broken Void for a moment, they arrived at Fengzhou.
As soon as he entered Fengzhou, he was ordered to get off the boat.
Wei Zhong frowned, but Dan Jie looked unfazed.
The two flew out of the spirit boat and saw a Demon Sect Nascent Soul in the lead, with many Demon Sect disciples surrounding them.
"Fengzhou has been quite unstable in recent years, and many forces have been turbulent, so monks have been posted at the weak passages between the two states to investigate," Shan Jie explained to Wei Zhong.
The Nascent Soul of the Demon Sect saw the two figures standing alone, cupped their hands, and stepped forward to greet them:
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Shan. Fellow Daoist has only been back for a few months. How come he is here again? And this Fellow Daoist..."
Shan Jie sighed:
"I have something important to do, so I won't bother you. As for this person, I am the elder of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, fellow Taoist Wei Zhongwei. He once had a relationship with the elder Yu Si of your noble clan."
‘Yu Si? It turns out that this person is from the Tianji Demon Sect! ’
Wei Zhong was surprised in his heart, but he didn't know that the other party was even more surprised.
Recalling the rumors that Yu Si was seriously injured in Yunzhou, he looked at Wei Zhong more.
"I've met fellow Daoist Wei..."
After the two of them had finished greeting each other, Shan Jie asked:
"I wonder if Fengzhou has changed a lot compared to Yuexu ago. Pindao plans to travel through the entire Fengzhou and take a look at the polar star sea..."
"Of course there are changes, but for Fellow Daoist Shan, it is of no importance. Fellow Daoist only needs to avoid a few Yuanying Mountain gates, and then the journey will be smooth..."
The spirit boat disappeared in the sight of everyone. The Nascent Soul monk gave a few instructions to the surroundings, then got up and fled back to the Tianji Gate.
Not long after, Wei and Zhong who were resting on the spirit boat were stopped again.
His consciousness stretched out, and he discovered that it was Wei Zhong's old acquaintance, Yu Si.
‘Tell the news? ’
Wei Zhong and Shan Jie walked out of the spirit boat. Before Wei Zhong could speak, Shan Jie showed impatience:
"What's the point of Fellow Daoist Yu blocking our path?"
The latter laughed twice:
"Don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist Shan. I just heard that Fellow Daoist Wei set foot in Fengzhou, and I was eager to reminisce about old times with him."
Wei Zhong looked calm:
"I am not familiar with Fellow Taoist, so there is no need to reminisce about old times. I would also like to ask fellow Taoist to let me go earlier. Otherwise, it will not do any good to Fellow Taoist Yu Si if the superiors blame me."
‘Is it an order from above to become a god? ’
Yu Si's expression changed several times, but he finally gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to take action.
"Since the two fellow Taoists have something important to do, I won't stop you too much. But when I return, I also ask fellow Taoist Wei to come and sit at Tianji Gate..."
Pull away and let the two of them leave.
It was so refreshing that Wei Zhong was surprised.
‘The title of Transformation God is so useful. ’
However, since his interest gave way, Wei and Zhong naturally had no intention of getting entangled with him and embarked on the journey to the Polar Star Sea again.
Yu Si squeezed his palms, and a figure appeared behind him:
"It's a good thing you didn't take action, otherwise I would have to take you down myself."
"Senior brother, these two people?"
Yuchi Yu slowly said:
"This old man Danjie traveled through Fengzhou and went to Ji Xinghai several times. It is probably true as he said, but he received the order of transforming into a god.
"You are right to retreat. After all, at this time of year, any flaws caused by civil strife will be magnified infinitely."
Yu Si was confused, but he heard what his senior brother said:
"When he comes around, invite him to my Tianji Sect and treat him well. This Wei Zhong has already entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but it is not easy."
After leaving these words, Yu Chiyu's figure disappeared from Yu Si's side, leaving him alone in the same place, waving his sleeves before leaving.
A small episode did not cause the slightest change in the mentality of Wei and Zhong.
On the contrary, Shan Jie joked:
"It seems that fellow Taoist defeated Yu Si back then and left a bad memory in his heart. He actually came to stop him after hearing the news about fellow Taoist. Even if he avoided it this time in the name of transforming into a god, he won't be able to turn around next time. It would be so easy.”
Wei Zhong held the teacup:
"You can't escape, it's just a fight. I was able to repel this person in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Now that I have cultivated in the middle stage, there is no reason to lose."
Shan Ji laughed when he heard this.
…
I don't know how long the boring day of marching has passed. When I left the state of self-cultivation, the spirit boat had already arrived at the border of Fengzhou.
Shan Ji pointed at the blue ocean in the distance and said:
"That's where the Polar Star Sea is. Doesn't it look shocking?"
Wei Zhong nodded. It was indeed an ocean with no boundaries, but it was not exactly the same as what he had seen in his previous life.
There were frequent storms, and at this moment, Wei Zhong saw three seaspouts towering into the sky.
It was also mixed with lightning and thunder, as well as pouring rain.
‘It seems that the environment of Ji Xinghai is indeed as bad as rumored. ’
In the spiritual disasters that have occurred in the past hundred years, Wei Zhong has seen the frosty wind in the Northern Plains, the turbulent space between the two places, and the unpredictable ocean storm in the Polar Star Sea in front of him.
"Most storms are not threatening to you and me. But we need to pay special attention to a kind of black storm. Not only is the wind strong, but it will also trap many monsters in the sea.
"Among them is a kind of black water bug called half-flower, which feeds on spiritual energy. It is good at destroying the body-protecting aura of our monks. If we are surrounded by a large number of half-flower bugs, it will be extremely difficult to escape from the sea storm.
"If we don't check it for a while, we may be in danger of death."
Fortunately, the two of them were traveling through the ocean without the accident Danjie mentioned.
Finally, we crossed many spiritual islands dotted all over the place and stopped to rest at a spiritual island called Sea Clam.
This island is still a hundred miles away from the Jie family's territory, so it is not too far away for the two of them.
The two planned to make repairs first and then visit another day.
Sea Clam Island is not big, but there are four small islands around it that are connected to it using formations, forming a safe place for human monks.
Generally, storms at sea only rage outside and rarely have the chance to invade.
Wei Zhong covered his cultivation to the point of forming pills and walked around along the spiritual island. Sure enough, we discovered that several things recorded in the jade slips were completely different from those in Yunzhou and other places.
The most typical one is the demon pill.
There are not many monsters in Yunzhou, it can even be said to be very rare. If you want to capture a monster, you have to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
The Ji Xing Sea is different. The ocean here is vast and there are many monsters in the sea.
Many monks will carry one or two sea beast spiritual pets to assist their own fighting skills.
Wei Zhong even saw a fight between sea beasts in his previous life on Lingdao, which was like fighting between crickets.
A group of monks gathered outside, shouting with their faces red and thick necks.
There are many demonic beasts, so demon elixirs are naturally indispensable. Demon elixirs are sold in various shops, and most of them are water attribute demon elixirs.
The Ji Xing Sea did not have enough fertile soil to cultivate elixirs, so the demon elixir was placed in the position of elixirs.
Many spiritual elixir recipes have been improved in this area, using monster inner elixir as the main material.
Wei Zhong walked into a slightly larger shop and saw a white jade-colored fourth-level demon pill placed in the center of the shop.
Out of curiosity, he asked the people in the store:
"How much does this fourth-level demon pill cost?"
The maid in the shop hurriedly greeted him. Seeing Wei Zhong's unfamiliar face, she knew he was not a monk from this sea area, and said with a smile:
"Is this your first time to come to our Mo Ran Merchant Guild, fellow Taoist? This sea dragon inner elixir is our store's most precious treasure. We can only watch it, not sell it."
After hearing this, Wei Zhong couldn't help but slander in his heart:
‘What’s wrong? The fourth-level demon elixir is placed in the shop but not for sale, and I’m not afraid of being snatched away. ’
After patrolling the store for a while, Wei Zhong saw a jade slip on a crystal stand.
""Water Planting Spirit Technique"?"
Looking at the description, it is really a method spread by Wei Zhong.
‘I didn’t expect to see it in this Ji Xinghai store. ’
"One hundred low-grade spiritual stones are not expensive."
Seeing this, the maid came closer and said:
"Fellow Taoist, are you interested in this "Water Movement Spirit Planting Method"? This method has the effect of cultivating spiritual roots and has been verified by many monks.
"It is rumored that there is a San cultivator in Yuanhai who used this method to raise his high-grade water spirit roots to the earth-grade, and successfully condensed a baby...
"Fellow Taoist, if you buy it now, our store can also sell the Yunli Demon Pill at a 20% discount for you, Taoist, to enhance your spiritual roots."
Wei Zhong was confused:
‘Using the inner elixir of monster beasts to grow spirits? Aren't you afraid of staining your own foundation? ’
