Chapter 63: Retreat
Seeing Wei Zhong go away, shopkeeper Ruan also appeared next to Rong Ju.
"Mother-in-law is here?"
Ruan Liuzhen knocked on Rong Ju's forehead: "Xiao Rong'er came out with you, why don't I come and take a look?"
Then he looked towards the direction Wei Zhong left and murmured: "But this little guy still has some tricks up his sleeve. He could instantly kill a monk of the same level so quickly, and he showed no fear in the face of three people. He must still have a few trump cards left. , not trying its best.
Even if you don't come, Rong girl, there is a high chance that you can escape and leave. "
"If what the mother-in-law said is true, then this fellow Daoist Chu is not only talented in brewing wine, but also has good fighting skills?"
Ruan Liuzhen nodded, then shook his head: "Beyond ordinary casual cultivators, but still not as good as the outstanding disciples of the major forces."
"That mother-in-law..."
Rong Ju asked a little cautiously.
What greeted Ruan Liuzhen was a firm response: "No. I said that I would only take action when he brews one of the two second-level spiritual wines, or when he is forced into a desperate situation. This is a little trick. Still can’t touch me.”
After saying this, he brushed up his broad sleeves, wrapped the rongju in his body, and disappeared from the spot.
Wei Zhong was half-lying in the green boat, sipping the spirit wine and recalling the spy he had noticed during the fight.
‘It’s Jiedan, probably the shopkeeper Ruan who gathered at the Chamber of Commerce. This is following Rong Ju. It seems that the maid beside Shan Qin is not a simple person. ’
‘This is the first time I have to fight in the presence of others, and I have to cover up many of my methods. I still feel a little uncomfortable. Otherwise, how could I have let the calamity cultivator struggle with me for so long, and I could defeat him with just a few tricks. ’
'But my consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, and I can even discover the hidden pills. ’
The previous enlightenment seems to have caused some unknown changes in Wei Zhong's spiritual consciousness. The intuitive feeling is that the detection effect of spiritual consciousness has become stronger.
Sinking into the sea of consciousness, Wei Zhong tried to touch the Time Treasure Record, but his consciousness would bounce back instantly as soon as he got closer.
‘Is there still no way? ’
At this time, it seems that the Treasure Record is not simply driven by spiritual power, but also involves spiritual power such as divine consciousness, or it may also contain certain conditions that Wei Zhong has not yet clarified.
Withdrawing his attention, Wei Zhong no longer tried to touch the ancient book.
‘As long as your cultivation level continues to improve, you will be able to control it sooner or later. ’
After drinking the spiritual wine, he quickly refined the rich spiritual energy contained in it. After half a day, Wei Zhong returned to Haiyue Lake.
Seeing several rays of light, it turned out that Li Haowen was leading several members of his clan to refine their qi, and Wei Zhong made a rough guess.
He leaned out and asked, "Fellow Taoist, are you going to Qingmu Sect?"
Li Haowen nodded: "I will take my clan's refining qi and rush to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains with the Qingmu Sect."
Wei Zhong sighed slightly, this was the helplessness of the Zhuji family to survive under the Jiedan Sect, and there was no room for refusal at all when they were forced to recruit.
"I wish fellow Taoists a safe and triumphant return."
Li Haowen returned the gift with his hand, and moved the magic sword under his feet to lead the five people away.
Wei Zhong watched his departing figure. Except for Li Haowen, the remaining five Qi Refining monks were all old men with gray hair and less than a few years to live.
‘It seems that we are also prepared to die in a different place during this trip, but we don’t know whether Li Haowen can survive this time successfully. Without this new foundation builder, it may be difficult for the Li family again. ’
Returning to Black Lake Island, Xie Linghua came up to him and handed Wei Zhong a gold book.
"Master, this is an edict from the Qingmu Sect."
Wei Zhong took it and browsed it carefully. It was not a monk's method like a jade slip, but was recorded on ordinary paper.
It was said to be an edict, but there was no mandatory order. It just called on the monks to rush to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains to hunt monsters and collect spiritual objects together. The above describes a merit system and lists various treasured spiritual objects and inherited knowledge. As long as you accumulate enough merit, you can exchange for any item on it.
Wei Zhong saw the precious spiritual objects such as Foundation Establishment Pill and Chalcedony Mushroom that were at the forefront. They were only in limited supply. It seemed that the Qingmu Sect had not changed its style.
He casually returned the gold book to Xie Linghua: "Ignore it. If anyone on the island is touched by this, just let him go."
Just as he was thinking about leaving, he stopped again, patted his head, and took out two bottles of elixirs and a robe from the storage bag.
"Two bottles of high-grade Qi-nourishing pills, and a first-grade high-grade robe, specially bought for you. Practice well."
Xie Linghua took it and immediately beamed: "Thank you, sir!"
"There is also no need to take over all the mundane affairs on the island. You can train a few trustworthy subordinates to share them with you and give yourself more time to practice.
You can drink the green radish in the wine cellar at will. While your cultivation level does not fall, you must also take good care of your body. "
Wei Zhong rubbed his waist, said something, then turned and left.
Xie Linghua was left alone with a blushing face.
In the cave, Wei Zhong took out the harvest of today's purchase, various elixirs for brewing, second-level magic weapons, etc.
After this purchase, Wei Zhong planned to retreat for a long time.
After pouring out the unlucky Jie Xiu's things, Wei Zhong glanced at them twice, took out two spiritual talismans and spiritual stones, and put away the other items.
There is a golden crescent painted on a talisman, which seems to be the same one used during the battle. There is also a black talisman paper with tiny ice crystal fragments drawn on it to form a network, which is probably some kind of second-level trapping talisman.
Unfortunately, Wei Zhong fought with him too quickly and did not give him a chance to use this talisman.
'Sure enough, he is an ordinary foundation-building casual cultivator. Most of his wealth is in magical weapons, spiritual talismans and other protective objects. He only has two or three thousand spiritual stones. ’
After counting the spiritual objects in Fang Fang's hand, Wei Zhong suddenly raised his head.
After leaving the cave, his spiritual consciousness noticed that Xie Linghua was wearing a blue gauze, with two women following behind her.
There is a person wearing pink clothes with a weak complexion, her name is Qi Ting. The other person is named Bai Yining, wearing a close-fitting robe, tall and with a cold face.
The three of them each have their own characteristics, and what you can see is that Wei Zhong's blood is rising.
These three people were the people who had the closest relationship with Wei Zhong. Unexpectedly, Xie Linghua "instigated" the two of them to come here with him without expecting Bai Ri's concern.
I heard Xie Linghua holding both of their hands and saying, "I am kind and treat the people around me very well. If you two really want to be close to me, you have to get closer to me."
The two of them knew what he meant, but their faces were still blushing and a little embarrassed at the moment.
A burst of spiritual power hit, and the door opened in front of him. Xie Linghua already understood Wei Zhong's thoughts, and walked inside with both hands.
Cultivation was boring and needed to be adjusted, but Wei Zhong was not a person who was addicted to life. He "turned clouds and rain" with him for a few days before returning to practice.
Of course, there would be a reward afterwards, which made the three of them smile.
After calming down for a while, Wei Zhong began to brew spiritual wine, starting with a simple first-level spiritual wine to find out the feel. After several attempts, Wei Zhong found that his success rate in brewing first-order spiritual wine had significantly improved, and he only failed once in ten brewing attempts.
Then he started brewing the second-level Qingluo Zui, and the success rate was as high as 60%.
Looking at the experience scrolling on the panel, Wei Zhong finally planned to start brewing Yuzhi Zui.
I took three chalcedony flowers that were more than 500 years old, and then collected other elixir and auxiliary materials that were needed.
After clarifying the brewing process in his mind, Wei Zhong used his spiritual body to control various elixirs and began to extract...
After one month, three brewing attempts failed twice, and only one was successful.
‘It seems that this wine is still a bit difficult for me at the moment. ’
Wei Zhong shook his head and took the jar of spiritual wine and other auxiliary cultivation tools to enter deep cultivation.
Five years later, the Qingmu Sect defeated the monster in a short battle in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains, and the monks gathered under it were able to escape and return.
Li Haowen turned around alone and visited Black Lake Island the next day. He regretfully left after learning that "Chu Zhong" was a hidden cultivator.
Wei Zhong, who knew about his visit, had no intention of stopping his practice because he had reached a critical point in his practice at this moment.
Wei Zhong was running the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique", and a large amount of spiritual energy was attracted to Wei Zhong, compressed and refined in his body, and condensed into drops of liquid spiritual power.
In the end, the spiritual power gathered together, and the level was suddenly broken.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: third level of foundation building (1%)]
[Exercise: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique·Master (1 Master (14%)]
[Shouyuan: 154/255]
In five years, he has broken through from the second level of foundation building to the third level of foundation building. At such a speed, I am afraid that even those high-grade spiritual roots can only do this.
Previously, it took Wei Zhong a full nine years to go from the first floor to the second floor of the foundation. This time, with the blessing of Yuzhizui, master-level skills, and the growth of his enlightenment, it only took five years. .
In detail, the practice speed has almost doubled.
The only pity is that enlightenment does not come often, and I don’t know how long it will take to encounter the enlightenment I had back then. If you want to improve your cultivation, you still have to keep practicing.
It is this "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" that after entering the master level, the proficiency progress begins to become extremely slow. It only improves by about 10% in five years. It will take at least forty years to advance to the master level and usher in the next qualitative change. .
Wei Zhong lamented that it was indeed a well-established technique, yet it was so difficult to improve its proficiency.
As for the "Health Kung Fu", Wei Zhong has been slacking off a lot recently. He only practices it once in a while when he is bored and does not allocate special time for it.
The main reason is that its function of increasing longevity is a bit useless for my own life span of more than two hundred years. The effect of nourishing the body is not as efficient as the second-level Qingluo Zui.
It has truly become a health-preserving technique in Wei Zhong's hands.
After cleaning up, Wei Zhong left the cave. You don't know how many years you have practiced, but you can't be ignorant of the external situation. You have to go out and inquire about changes in the situation, so that you don't even know if the Qingmu Sect comes to your door.
Pushing open the door to the training room, there was a cold-looking female cultivator waiting behind her, it was Bai Yining.
Seeing Wei Zhong coming out of seclusion, he hurriedly greeted him: "The master has come out of seclusion. I will call Sister Xie to come over now."
Wei Zhong grabbed her wrist: "Don't worry, I have already informed her. Please tell me what happened in the past few years, especially the matters related to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range and the Qingmu Sect."
It will be published in the early morning today, and the subsequent publishing time is planned to be stable at 12 noon.
If you have any opinions about the update time, you can mention it and I can make appropriate adjustments.
