Chapter 67: Secret Technique of Divine Awareness, Soul-Stirring
"Fairy Rong, what happened in Fangshi just now?"
When Wei Zhong rushed to the Chamber of Commerce, he saw many casual cultivators running around, and out of curiosity, he asked Rong Ju.
"Fellow Daoist Chu missed a good show. Just now, Nascent Soul monks attacked the Qingmu Sect's formation. I gathered in the Chamber of Commerce to form an formation to protect myself in order to avoid trouble."
"Nascent Soul, why do these high-level monks want to cause trouble for the Qingmu Sect?"
Wei Zhong suddenly thought of the murderous intention in Zhiming Cave. Could it be that Nascent Soul took Luo Mingyan to Qingmu Sect? This is reasonable.
Just as Rong Ju was about to answer, a maid from the shop knocked on the door and presented a letter sword.
Rong Ju looked at it with a hint of surprise on her face, and then handed the letter sword to Wei Zhong.
"Unexpectedly, the eighth true successor of the Qingmu Sect survived the catastrophe and was actually accepted as a disciple by a senior Nascent Soul."
After Wei Zhong read the information, it was indeed what he thought.
There was a hint of emotion on his face: "I never expected that my old friend would have such an opportunity."
After the greetings, Wei Zhong brought the topic to spiritual wine:
"Fairy Rong, to be honest, I have developed a second-level Qingluo drunken recipe a few days ago."
"Oh," Rong Ju's body lying on her back suddenly sat upright.
After Wei Zhong took out the wine recipe and the finished spirit wine, Ruan Liuzhen appeared in the room at some unknown time.
After some tasting, Wei Zhong asked with some anticipation: "Shopkeeper Ruan, how do you like this spiritual wine of mine?"
The latter pondered for a moment and then replied: "Yes, it is indeed a second-level spiritual wine. Its ability to warm and nourish the body has been significantly enhanced. Although it is not as good as the Wang family's body refining pill, it is better because of its gentle power and large quantity and affordable price."
"Wang family, body refining pill?" Wei Zhong had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Rong Ju explained at the side: "The Wang family is a Nascent Soul alchemy family in Yunzhou City. They are especially good at refining body-building elixirs. Body-refining elixirs are the signature elixirs for physical body foundation-building monks, which are equivalent to those of us spiritual practitioners." Aiki Dan.”
After all this explanation, Wei Zhong finally understood.
"There are very few physical practitioners in Mangyuan Mansion. It's normal that Taoist friend Chu has never heard of it. The reason why the young lady values Taoist friend Qingluo Zui so much is because she has the idea of competing with the Wang family's body refining pill."
"Then, does this kind of spiritual wine pass the test?"
Ruan Liuzhen nodded: "That's natural."
Then he took out a palm-sized white jade token, and with a flash of light coming from his fingertips, he carved the word "Chu Zhong" on it, threw it to Wei Zhong and said:
"This is the white jade order from the guest of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce. From now on, you Taoist friend will be a part of our Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to being a certificate, this token is also a magic weapon, with a third-level defensive spell engraved in it, which can withstand up to one strike from the core. After the fellow Taoist sacrifices it, it will be automatically triggered when encountering a fatal crisis. "
Wei Zhong played with the token, never expecting that just joining the Yunji Chamber of Commerce would bring such benefits. The passively triggered third-level defense spells were very practical for Wei Zhong, who was still in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Ruan!"
The latter shook his head: "It's just what fellow Taoist deserves. From now on, fellow Taoist and I will be colleagues, and we need to communicate more."
"Exactly, exactly."
Wei Zhong suddenly caught a glimpse of the numerical value "nine" floating on the token, and asked curiously: "I wonder what the word 'nine' means."
After Rong Ju explained it, Wei Zhong realized that this was a contribution point system built within the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
This "nine" is the "Yulin Qing" provided by Wei Zhong to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, the first-level fruit wine recipe earned in the past ten years.
The contribution points come from the additional conversion of the number of spiritual stones earned by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, from people in other chambers of commerce using contribution points in exchange for the share of the wine recipe, and even from some seniors’ optimistic rewards.
"Although the Yunji Chamber of Commerce is a business power, some precious spiritual objects cannot be measured by price due to their scarcity. Our predecessors have developed this contribution point exchange system. Using contribution points instead of spiritual stones is also a reward for the members of the chamber of commerce. preferential treatment.
Fellow Taoists can check the redeemable spiritual objects by inserting their spiritual consciousness into it.
In addition, this contribution point is hard to come by, so fellow Taoists should use it with caution. "
Wei Zhong nodded, put his consciousness close to the token, and saw the prices of various spiritual items.
"Low-grade Foundation Building Pill: 20 points
Middle grade foundation building pill: 30 points
Top grade foundation building pill: 50 points
·······”
Wei Zhong explored the information recorded in it, and was dazzled by the various rare spiritual objects recorded in it.
There are spiritual objects and elixirs of all grades, including the Dust Falling Elixir that sold more than 40,000 spiritual stones at the auction.
‘Rough calculation, one contribution point is equivalent to one hundred spirit stones. Of course, spirit stones and contribution points are not interoperable. For regular spiritual objects, it is equivalent, but for some precious spiritual objects that are not available on the market, the value of contribution points will rise several levels. One contribution point may be equivalent to hundreds or thousands of spirit stones. ’
""Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique"·Zan, the part of refining qi to elixir formation, was practiced by Master Chunqiu in the ancient times of the human race. Its level is beyond the current Xuanhuang level of heaven and earth, and it is immeasurable.
Worth 3000 contribution points. "
‘Hey, you even have the skills that I practice. Is this what the Yunji Chamber of Commerce got from the Qingmu Sect? Sure enough, the inheritance received by the Qingmu Sect was incomplete. But the value is really high. ’
Wei Zhong looked at other techniques and found that three thousand contribution points could be exchanged for many techniques that directly reach Nascent Soul.
Wei Zhong moved his consciousness away from it and asked with some doubt: "I have heard from Miss Shan that our chamber of commerce also has a method of casting spirit bodies. How come I haven't seen such a thing in it?"
Ruan Liuzhen was a little surprised and looked at Rong Ju: "I didn't expect Miss to tell you all this, but the secret method of casting spirit bodies is currently unavailable to you.
You need to accumulate at least 100 contribution points to see it."
After a moment of communication, Wei Zhong finally understood the general function of this token.
Putting it away, Wei Zhong asked curiously: "Do you know when the current chaos of demon cultivators will end? Although I have become a guest official of the Chamber of Commerce and can deal with the Qingmu Sect, I am also worried about being killed by the demon cultivators who act without scruples."
"This..."
Ruan Liuzhen hesitated: "It is not convenient to disclose the details. I can only advise you to be careful.
Although you live on the second-level spiritual island and are protected by the second-level formation, you can't stop the Jindan cultivators after all.
It is best to give up the spiritual island and come to my Chamber of Commerce. In this way, I will be there to protect you."
Wei Zhong lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He was just a small guest official. Ruan Liuzhen only said this out of concern for his colleagues.
But Wei Zhong understood that the other party was not his nanny and could not guarantee his safety all the time.
Besides, according to Luo Mingyan, it is very likely that the Yuanying forces will come out in person. Wei Zhong dare not guarantee that the other party will take into account the face of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
"Does Manager Ruan know how to leave here and go to his mansion?"
The latter looked surprised: "Fellow Daoist, are you going to leave Mangyuan Mansion?"
Wei Zhong wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said with some shame: "These days, I have been tortured by the demon cultivators. A fellow in my exorcist team almost died at the hands of Jindan demon cultivators. I don't know when it will be my turn.
In addition, the Qingmu Sect here is not very friendly to us casual cultivators, so I thought about leaving."
"I didn't expect that fellow Daoist would be willing to give up the foundation that he has built for so many years."
Ruan Liuzhen also understood how difficult it was for a casual cultivator like Wei Zhong to find a second-level spiritual land and continue to manage it to get on the right track.
Wei Zhong smiled and said, "They are just external possessions. How can they compare to my life? If you lose resources, you can earn them again, but if you lose your life, it is really gone.
Besides, I am not giving up the Spirit Island for nothing. I can get a lot of Spirit Stones after selling it, right?"
"That being said, there are few casual cultivators who can be as decisive as you," Rong Ju looked at Wei Zhong with a hint of something strange in his eyes.
"If you want to leave Mangyuan Prefecture, there is indeed a way.
Every once in a while, our Chamber of Commerce will have a group of caravans transporting goods passing through our prefecture. After staying for a few days, they will go to other places.
The caravans are often led by Jindan cultivators, and their safety can be guaranteed.
You can set off with the caravan at that time. As for the destination of the caravan, I don't know. You need to ask the leader of the Chamber of Commerce in person.
The last caravan will arrive in more than a month. You need to make more preparations during this period."
"That's enough. Thank you, Manager Ruan," Wei Zhong bowed his hands to express his gratitude.
"You don't need to be polite, but there is one thing you need to remember. After all, we are borrowing the trade route of the Chamber of Commerce. In order to avoid trouble on the road, please don't bring your family."
"Well, can I bring a few maids to take care of my daily life, and bring a nephew from my family?"
Wei Zhong asked with some embarrassment.
Rong Ju added: "A few people shouldn't be a big problem. Of course, it depends on the opinion of the caravan leader. As a guest of our chamber of commerce, the leader will generally give you some face."
Wei Zhong was relieved to receive this answer.
"In that case, I will leave first."
Wei Zhong said goodbye to the two and left on the flying boat.
In the room, the figure of a white-haired old man appeared.
Rong Ju bowed and saluted: "Old Yan."
The white-haired old man nodded, took the spiritual wine and tasted it, narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed and said:
"This wine is indeed extraordinary, it has a little effect on us Jindan spiritual cultivation. In my opinion, this wine is better than the Wang family's body refining pill."
"Of course, the young lady's vision can be wrong. Although the Wang family's body refining pill is powerful, it is very overbearing. Every pill is no less than a torture. How can it be as comfortable as drinking this wine.
And this wine has a faint ability to nourish the body. Drinking it for a long time can also repair the hidden injuries of the body. This is the most rare."
Ruan After thinking about it, Liu Zhen said, "This wine is of great significance to the young lady. How about having Old Yan escort her to her?"
The white-browed old man's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance: "Without my help, Fellow Daoist Ruan is sure to hold this station. The chaos of the demon cultivators will intensify."
"No problem, I have the help of the 'Sky-Sweeping Formation', plus the upcoming new Jindan Daoist Fellow Hu Yang, that's enough."
Hearing this, the white-browed old man bowed his head and replied, "Then listen to Fellow Daoist Ruan's arrangements."
After Wei Zhong returned to the island, he immediately called Xie Linghua and other women to his side and explained the next arrangements to them.
"Master is leaving?"
Hearing what Wei Zhong said, the three women were all surprised.
"There is no way. According to the information I got from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, this chaos of demon cultivators is far from stopping.
On the contrary, it will intensify in the future. By then, Jindan demon cultivators will probably not be rare, and they will officially go to war with Qingmu Sect.
We, the foundation-building and even Qi-refining cultivators, can say that we have no power to resist such a torrent, so we need to make plans early...”
After a few words, the three finally understood the current situation.
"Wherever the master goes, Ling'er will go," Xie Linghua was the first to express her opinion, looking at Wei Zhong with trust in her eyes.
Wei Zhong was somewhat moved and took her hand. He turned to look at the other two women and saw that they were a little hesitant.
"Master, we..."
"Don't worry, this trip is leaving the house, and even I don't know where I will go. I can't guarantee safety 100%. It is indeed too risky for you Qi-refining cultivators.
There is still some time, you two should think about it carefully, and it won't be too late to give me an answer in a month."
"Yes..."
The two of them immediately withdrew, and Xie Linghua beside them explained:
"Master, they..."
Wei Zhong interrupted him: "I understand, I understand. "
Xie Linghua is a fugitive from a cultivation family that fell into ruin. She can be said to have no worries and can follow Wei Zhong wholeheartedly.
But the other two women are different. They are all from nearby cultivation families. They have brothers and sisters and parents to worry about at home. It is impossible for them to wander around with Wei Zhong at will.
"Master, what should we do with Jiaqi? Now he is deeply in love with that little girl He. I am afraid..."
Wei Zhong frowned and called him to his side.
Ning Jiaqi was trying to refine a high-grade nourishing pill. When he received Wei Zhong's summons, he quickly put down what he was doing and rushed over. After hearing that Wei Zhong was going to move his house, his face was full of surprise.
He said with some hesitation:
"Uncle Chu, Jiaqi, Jiaqi may not be able to leave with Uncle Chu."
Wei Zhong sighed: "Is it because of the little girl He? "
The latter nodded.
'It's the nature of a young man after all.'
Xie Linghua tugged at Wei Zhong's sleeve: "Master..."
Wei Zhong understood that after all these years of getting along, Xie Linghua had already regarded Ning Jiaqi as her own son, and now she was asking Wei Zhong to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
So he stood up and said to Ning Jiaqi: "Follow me."
The latter followed Wei Zhong onto the Qingzhou with some curiosity.
"Uncle Chu, where are we going?"
"Yunji Chamber of Commerce, since you don't want to go with me, I will find a reliable backer for you.
There are only two forces in Mangyuan Prefecture that can be put on the table, Qingmu Sect and Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
Qingmu Sect will soon be involved in the struggle with the demon cultivators, and sending you there is equivalent to pushing you into the fire pit, so the only one left is Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
It happens that I am also a guest official among them. With this identity and your talent for alchemy, it should not be a problem to find a shelter for you. "
After a while, Rong Ju saw Wei Zhong bringing a young Taoist back, and asked curiously: "Daoyou, what is this?"
"This is my nephew, I want to find a shelter for him here..."
After a while, Wei Zhong and Rong Ju were tasting spiritual tea in the pavilion.
"I didn't expect that Daoyou is not only good at the art of spiritual wine, but also hides such a young alchemist."
Wei Zhong smiled slightly, and the door behind him was pushed open, and an old Taoist with a mustache walked in, followed by Ning Jiaqi.
"Master Xue, what's wrong?"
The old Taoist bowed: "Fairy Rong, after my inspection, what Daoyou Chu said is indeed true. This boy is indeed a genius in alchemy. He can refine a medium-grade nourishing qi pill after more than ten years of self-study.
The success rate is stable at 50%, which is much higher than what I did back then."
Hearing this, the three of them smiled.
Wei Zhong turned to Rong Ju and asked: "Fairy Rong, what did I ask just now? "
Rong Ju replied: "Young friend Ning is very talented, so of course I agree. In my opinion, why don't Master Xue accept him as a disciple?"
Wei Zhong immediately struck while the iron was hot and sent a message to Ning Jiaqi.
The latter immediately knelt on his knees: "Master, please accept your disciple's greetings."
Xue Hongen smiled and helped Ning Jiaqi up: "Good disciple, get up quickly."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wei Zhong told Ning Jiaqi:
"Jiaqi, Fellow Daoist Xue is a master who has been immersed in alchemy for many years. The foundation-building pills in the shop are all made by him, and he has made third-level pills several times.
You used to have no famous teacher to guide you, but now you have Fellow Daoist Xue as your teacher, so you must cherish this opportunity. "
"Alas, it just takes a little longer to refine the pill, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning..."
Although it was a humble answer, the latter's face was always filled with a smug smile.
······
After a while, Wei Zhong left alone, and as for Ning Jiaqi, Xue Hongen kept him in the Chamber of Commerce, saying that his alchemy skills were all self-taught, and he was still lacking in the basics, which would affect his future alchemy and needed to be corrected.
Wei Zhong kept him, anyway, staying in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce would not be a concern for safety, and it might even be safer than Black Lake Island.
In the following January, Wei Zhong began to deal with the transfer of the Spirit Island. The value of the second-level Spirit Island is so high that few cultivators can afford it.
In addition, there are often demon cultivators wreaking havoc near Haiyue Lake, making it even more difficult to sell.
"Daoyou, why don't you transfer this island to my Li family? "Li Haowen said, holding the wine in the cup.
Wei Zhong thought for a moment, this island was originally obtained from the Li family, and it seems that it is not a problem to transfer it back.
"What price can Li Daoyou offer?"
The latter moved his lips slightly and sent a message to Wei Zhong. Chen Guisong, who was standing by, was also a little itchy when he saw the two of them sending messages:
"Could it be that the two of you are trading something shady, so secretly?"
Wei Zhong chuckled, what Li Haowen used in exchange really surprised Wei Zhong.
The secret technique of divine consciousness, the shocking stab.
It is a unique secret method that condenses the monk's own spiritual consciousness into a needle shape, supplements it with a unique tempering secret method, and turns it into a hidden weapon of spiritual consciousness.
"I didn't expect fellow Taoist to have such a secret technique of spiritual consciousness. It's really eye-opening for me," Wei Zhong said in a voice message with some surprise.
"It's just an accidental gain. I need to remind fellow Taoists that the power of this technique depends entirely on the strength of the fellow Taoist's own spiritual consciousness. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the stronger this technique..."
Wei Zhong nodded, understanding what he said. This frightening thorn, to put it bluntly, is a means of injuring the enemy ten thousand and damaging oneself eight thousand.
Although it has the disadvantage of damaging one's own consciousness, it is indeed an excellent means of attack at critical moments.
"I have also practiced this method, but with the strength of my spiritual consciousness in the early stage of foundation building, the condensed shock stab is not satisfactory. It can only deal with some weak-willed second-level monsters. If fellow Taoists use it to deal with monks, you need to be cautious. Use," Li Haowen reminded
Wei Zhong nodded, put the jade slip away, and heard his voice next:
"In addition, I will add another ten thousand spirit stones. I hope fellow Taoist will leave the remaining arrangements on the spirit island..."
Wei Zhong was good at everything. He had previously sold most of the valuable spiritual objects or put them into the cave. Now all that was left on Black Lake Island were some seedlings that had not yet grown up.
While the three of them were talking, Xie Linghua also came closer:
"Master, most of the servants on Spirit Island have been dismissed."
Speaking of this, Xie Linghua had a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Brother Chu, are you really leaving Mangyuan Mansion?" Chen Guisong still couldn't believe it until now.
A force that has been operating for many years can be easily separated, and so is Lingdao, which was sold so easily. This is unimaginable for Chen Guisong, who runs the family.
"That's natural. Everything has been sold in Xialing Island and there is no place to stay. Isn't it possible to move to the Chen family?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chu joins the Chen family, that's what I wish for," the latter smiled slightly, obviously understanding that what Wei Zhong said was a joke.
"You and I can never learn from Daoist Master Chu's free and easy attitude," Li Haowen sighed, causing Chen Guisong to fall into silence for a moment.
Wei Zhong poured spiritual wine for the two of them:
“We have been exorcising demons together for many years, and we have developed a friendship.
I would like to give you two words of advice. I am afraid that the Qingmu Sect will fall into a long-term struggle with the demonic cultivators. You must be careful not to lose your life in the pursuit of small profits. "
"Brother Chu, will the next situation really be so bad?" Li Haowen asked seriously.
Wei Zhong nodded: "In the past few years, most of our exorcisms have been against Qi-refining cultivators, and very few Foundation-building demon cultivators.
But in the future, I am afraid that foundation-building demon cultivators will become the mainstream, and they are most likely to be monks from the demon sect. Their fighting methods may be no less than those of foundation-building cultivators from sects such as the Aoki Sect.
The two empresses should try their best to join forces with other fellow foundation builders to act together. Don’t be alone and be killed by demonic cultivators..."
After some instructions, Li and Chen also remembered Wei Zhong's words in their hearts, and they were worried and distracted when they left.
"well!"
This is the reason why Wei Zhong has never established a family power. With descendants, there is a tie, and everything must be considered for the family.
When encountering something like a struggle between good and evil, people like Li Haowen and Chen Guisong will have no choice but to be involved in it.
The lives of the Li and Chen families will definitely not be easy in the future. After the struggle between good and evil, whether the two families can survive is another matter.
Even if we take advantage of this moment to move with everyone in our family, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the road is full of dangers. Maybe it is better to stay where we are and rely on our foundation to resist tenaciously over the years.
Seeing the extinguished lights on the island, Wei Zhong also felt a bit lonely.
