Chapter 75: Observing the Ceremony of Forming the Pill
Wei Zhong looked at his foundation building skills with a look of surprise on his face.
As the treasurer responsible for the entire Luohe Mansion, he is actually just a foundation-building monk.
Recalling that a remote city like Mangyuan Prefecture had a Danjie shopkeeper in charge, how could the more important Luohe Mansion have a Jiedu as the shopkeeper?
Seeing the surprise on Wei Zhong's face, Xu Xuan was not annoyed, but instead stroked his beard and smiled:
"Fellow Taoist, are you a little surprised that I, a Foundation Establishment monk, am the shopkeeper?"
Wei Zhong nodded and held his hands for a moment:
"I am indeed a little confused, but I am absolutely not offended. Fellow Taoist. "
"I understand, I understand, anyone who sees a little Jiji Ren as the treasurer of this house will look at him a little more. "
I don't blame him. This means that Wei Zhong is also relieved.
"Fellow Taoist, as a guest of our Chamber of Commerce, you should understand that the right to speak in this Chamber of Commerce is not determined by strength, but by skills.
If there are two or three profound skills, even fellow Taoists may not be able to compete. This is the position of the shopkeeper."
Wei Zhong suddenly said: "I have learned the lesson!"
"Haha, fellow Taoist, if you need anything, please tell me, Pindao, I will leave now. "
The two sides bowed their hands, and Wei Zhong looked at Xu Xuan's leaving back with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Saying goodbye to Yun Luo, Wei Zhong left.
Most of the supplies for this trip have been purchased. Wei Zhong left the Yunji Building, changed his appearance, stepped on the flying sword, and left.
Most of the raw materials for red spirit wine have been deduced, but there is still a long way to go before it can be successfully reproduced.
Wei Zhong was already thinking about returning to the secret realm to subdue the third-level monkey.
At this moment, there may not be a chance to superimpose the three levels of Taoism over time in the middle stage of foundation building, but after careful consideration, I decided to give up.
He looked at his lifespan at this moment:
[Shouyuan: 211/275]
A few days ago, the group in the secret realm used the Taoist method of years to resist the attack of the monkey, and spent a lot of time life span of twelve years.
In order to be on the safe side, he later pursued Mou Yuanfeng and spent another twenty-four years advancing to the early stage of pill formation.
A total of thirty-six years have passed between the two times. Now the remaining life span is only sixty-four years, which is not enough for me to perform the three-level Taoist method of time twice.
Now it's not worth the gain to catch the monkey for a kind of spiritual wine.
Furthermore, after I reached the middle stage of Dan Jie, I was only a child wielding a sledgehammer. I was not familiar with Dan Jie’s fighting methods, so I might not be able to win the golden-browed red monkey reliably.
It is better to wait until you enter the late stage of foundation building before considering this matter. At that time, it will be safe to be able to climb to the late stage of core formation with the help of years of Taoism.
After conquering the third-level monkey, your own safety can be guaranteed. At least he can protect himself until he is promoted to Dan Dan without any worries.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Zhong returned to Yunxia Island with his flying sword.
Entering the cave, Wei Zhong immediately began to enter the state of cultivation, and did not start to level up immediately because of Shouyuan's anxiety.
But try to enter the later stage of foundation building in the next twenty years. Such a small improvement in realm will also bring you decades of longevity. Then you can plot the third-level monkey.
With the blessing of the heavy water spirit body, Wei Zhong obviously felt that he was more sensitive to spiritual energy, and his cultivation was much smoother and his speed was several hundred percent faster.
Occasionally when I am bored, I would make elixirs, make wine, or pass the time with Xie Linghua.
This situation lasted for more than a year.
Wei Zhong went out again to participate in the auction held by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and won the Millennium Nine-Heart Fruit. Twelve thousand low-grade spiritual stones were spent.
The cost is not too much. On the one hand, there are not many third-level alchemists who can use this elixir to refine the dust-falling pill.
On the other hand, two Dust Falling Pills appeared at the auction, attracting a lot of firepower for Wei Zhong.
One of them was bought by Zhu Shen, a second-level alchemist in the late stage of foundation establishment, for a high price of 53,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Wei Zhong had to lament that Luohe Mansion has many resources, and rich people also many.
Zhu Shen has also made a lot of money through alchemy in recent years, and he plans to use this to get into alchemy.
As for the other Dust Falling Pill, it was pocketed by Ling Ziwei's brother, Ling Hua, who also spent more than 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
It seems that he has also begun to prepare for the formation of pills. No wonder Ling Ziwei has not come to see Wei Zhong recently. Maybe he is too busy because of his brother's formation of pills.
After Wei Zhong took the photo of his favorite Nine-Heart Fruit, he returned to Yunxia Island to practice cultivation again.
After thirteen years of cultivation, Wei Zhong was released from seclusion because of an outside message.
“Ling Hua formed the elixir and invited all the cultivators to observe the ceremony?”
Wei Zhong looked at the message in the Xinjian with a strange expression on his face:
"This is something new. Generally, monks who form elixirs don't find someone to protect them, and then secretly find a place to overcome the tribulation and form elixirs. It’s good for Ling Hua to invite all the cultivators to watch the ceremony.
With such a big fanfare, aren’t you worried about others causing damage?”
Wei Zhong didn’t understand, but decided to go and watch. It was invited by Ling Ziwei. Such a major incident cannot disgrace the other party's face.
When he went out, he saw that Xie Linghua had reached the eighth level of Qi refining, and Wei Zhong nodded.
‘The other party has not forgotten his instructions over the years and has been practicing hard. ’
Having rewarded him with a second-level magic sword to encourage his opponent, Wei Zhong left the island and headed towards the Ling family.
There was no idea of bringing Xie Linghua to watch the ceremony together on this trip, because Wei Zhong guessed that there might be something fishy about the ceremony, which would most likely trigger a large number of monks to fight, and Wei Zhong was not sure of keeping her safe.
Looking at one’s own cultivation:
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Sixth level of foundation building (83%)]
[Kung Fu: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique·Master (91%); Health Kung Fu·Master (50%)]
[Lifespan: 225/275]
Thirteen years have passed, and Wei Zhong’s cultivation has begun to reach the end of the middle stage of foundation construction. There is only more than a year left to reach the peak of the middle stage of foundation construction. , and then you can start preparing to break through to the late stage of foundation building.
Had it not been for Ling Ziwei’s invitation this time, Wei Zhong would not have left halfway.
What is also gratifying is that "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" is about to break through the master level and enter the grandmaster level.
When he breaks through, his cultivation speed will be greatly improved.
The other "Health-nurturing Kung Fu" was tepid, and Wei Zhong only practiced it during daily self-cultivation.
The only thing that worries Wei Zhong is that there are only fifty years left in his life, which makes Wei Zhong a little anxious.
However, it is still enough to cast the three-level Taoist method of time. If there is an emergency, it can also be used to exchange lives. As long as Wei Zhong does not fall below the foundation building stage, he can maintain the temporary core-building combat power many times.
There are not many concerns regarding safety.
On the green boat, Wei Zhong took out the "Luoyuehong" he brewed and drank it. This is Wei Zhong's poor imitation of the red spirit wine that enhances spiritual consciousness.
This wine is slightly stronger than "Warming Tears" and has a significant increase in spiritual awareness, but it is quite limited in improving the spiritual awareness of monks in the foundation building stage.
Compared to the spiritual wine brewed by the spiritual monkey, it is far inferior.
But after all, it was brewed with spirit stones. If you don’t drink it, it’s useless.
While drinking, he looked out of the boat and suddenly saw a ray of light approaching.
“Fellow Taoist Qingze?”
“Oh, it turns out to be Taoist Friend Wei,” Dunguang approached and landed on the boat, revealing the figure of Taoist Qingze.
The other party still looks that slovenly, but the aura on his body is slightly different, and his cultivation in the late stage of foundation building is revealed.
“I didn’t expect to meet fellow Taoist Qingze here. Congratulations to fellow Taoist for successfully advancing to the later stage of foundation building,” Wei Zhong opened the hanging cloth outside the cabin and invited him inside.
"Alas, it's just the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It's not just a small Foundation Establishment monk. If you don't enter the elixir formation, you will eventually become an ant. Is Wei Daoist Fellow going to the Luo family to watch the ceremony?"
Wei Zhong poured a cup for him. Liquor, nodded: "Fairy Ling invited me, I dare not refuse."
"Haha, I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Wei and Fairy Ling are on good terms, and it is indeed true.
I think Fellow Daoist Wei We might as well become a Taoist couple. Wei Daoyou is a master of alchemy, Ling Xianzi is a master of formations, and we can become a couple of immortals.
In the future, there will be Ling Hua, the alchemy-forming brother-in-law, whose future is limitless. Ah!”
Wei Zhong shook his head slightly:
"I am so focused on cultivation that I have no time to consider this matter. Besides, as my fellow Taoist said, if you don't form an elixir, you will end up like an ant.
I have poor qualifications. , even in the later stage of foundation building, let alone the formation of pills.
No, fellow Taoist Ling Hua, I should probably call him senior in the future.
He is about to form pills. Fairy Ling is definitely not far away from forming a pill either.
How can I climb such a high branch with such shallow cultivation? "
Although Wei Zhong said this, there was no trace of loss on his face. Instead, he looked a little neither humble nor arrogant.
" Fellow Taoist Wei is really an ascetic monk! "
Qingze praised him, drank a glass of spiritual wine, and looked slightly shocked:
"Brother Wei actually treated me with such spiritual wine, it is really grand. ”
What he drank was the Luoyuehong brewed by Wei Zhong. This kind of treasure that can increase spiritual consciousness is rare, and it is extremely precious even for Qingze who is in the late stage of foundation building.
“It’s just a little wine.”
The more Wei Zhong becomes calm and calm, the more Qingze feels that Wei Zhong is noble and upright.
"Is this wine brewed by fellow Taoist Wei?"
Wei Zhong shook his head: "No, this wine was obtained by chance. I only have a few pots of wine in my hands."
There was a hint of regret on Qingze's face.
Immediately talked with Wei Zhong about the major events that have happened in the practice world in recent days.
Among them is the great battle between good and evil that was launched in the Mangyuan Mansion. The Qingmu Sect resisted the attack of the demon sect forces, and its subordinate forces and casual cultivators suffered terribly.
Many small and weak forces began to move away from other houses to avoid such disasters. Wei Zhong also thought of one or two of his former friends, and was filled with emotion.
'I don’t know if Daoyou Li and Daoyou Chen are okay, as well as Ning Jiaqi. He has a master who is a guest of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. He should be fine. I just hope that he will not be trapped by love... ·'
"Do you know, fellow Taoist, that Zhu Shen Jiedan failed a few years ago?"
Wei Zhong was brought back from his thoughts by these words and nodded.
Building the Foundation and attacking the Core Formation was a big news in Luohe Mansion. When Wei Zhong was in seclusion, Xie Linghua also informed Wei Zhong of this incident.
“Zhu Shen is a man who has committed many unjust deeds and is destined to die. I asked him to take a dust-falling pill, but he failed to seize the opportunity.
I heard that he had not even condensed the pill. If you can succeed, you will not be able to reach the core position again if you don’t cultivate for decades.”
Speaking of this, Qingze showed a slightly happy smile on his face.
Wei Zhong has been building the foundation for so many years, and he has also inquired about the process of monks forming pills.
Building a pill is different from building a foundation. It requires a special level to withstand the baptism of heavenly tribulation. The monks need to condense a true elixir in their body first, then survive the calamity of inner demons, and finally deal with the coming heavenly calamity. This calamity is the calamity of thunder. If it is successfully overcome, it is the formation of elixir.
"It's a pity that old boy Zhu Shen didn't do his best and failed to complete the first step of condensing the elixir. Otherwise, it would be better to let him condense the elixir reluctantly and fail under the inner demons and thunder tribulations. Qingze said with some regret.
Wei Zhong rolled his eyes.
‘This Qingze is hoping that Zhu Shen will die soon. Heart Demon Tribulation and Thunder Tribulation are not like condensing pills. Failure to condensate pills will at most damage the legal body. But if the last two tribulations fail, it is very likely that you will die directly. ’
“Perhaps Zhu Shen, who has taken too many pills after practicing for many years, is a parallel importer of foundation building, right?”
Wei Zhong said without blushing.
‘Although his own cultivation was achieved through hard work, Wei Zhong mainly used spiritual wine. Compared to elixirs, they are very pure and do not contain erysipelas.
Although there is some residual poison, it is much better than the elixir.
In addition, he has practiced the top skill "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" to the master level, and his foundation is extremely deep. Comparing the foundation building at the same level, he is also a person with a solid foundation. ’
“Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei is right, let’s have a drink,” Qingze laughed out loud when he heard Wei Zhong’s remarks.
The two drank and chatted, and soon arrived at the Ling family.
Because most of the spiritual veins of Luohe Mansion rely on water veins, the Ling family, which is a foundation-building family, is also located on the edge of water veins.
Unlike Wei Zhong, whose Yunxia Island is adjacent to Yunxi River, the Ling family relies on the Luohe River, the largest river in the province.
It is a second-level high-grade spiritual land, which is better than the Yunxia Island where Wei Zhong stayed. It can even be called a quasi-third-level spiritual land.
Ling Hua is about to form a pill, and the Ling family has raised a large formation for safety. A white light shield is like a jade bowl, and the Ling family is turned upside down.
"Level 3 formation?" Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes.
‘Sure enough, these foundation-building families have their own background. With such a formation, Ling Ziwei, who is in the late stage of foundation-building, is in charge. Even if the alchemy-forming monks come, they can be blocked. ’
"The Ling family invited people to watch the ceremony, why did you leave us here in the wilderness?"
When Wei Zhong arrived, many monks had already arrived.
Among them, one or two monks wanted to enter the Ling family, but were blocked by the formation and began to hold the people entertained by the Ling family accountable.
When Wei Zhong saw that a banquet had been set up outside the formation, he knew that this man was making trouble unreasonably.
So he collected the flying boat and landed in front of this person.
"The Ling family has prepared a banquet for us, why do fellow Taoists be so aggressive."
Hearing Wei Zhong's voice, the man turned his head and looked at Wei Zhong with fierce eyes, but saw that Wei Zhong was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment , one level higher than that.
Besides him was a Qingze Taoist who was in the late stage of foundation building, and his head suddenly shrank.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that I was timid, snorted, and turned around to leave.
"Thank you, Senior Wei." When the junior of the Ling family saw Wei Zhong rescuing him, he bowed his hands and bowed in gratitude.
Wei Zhong lifted him up and recognized him as Ling Yunsheng, the rising star of the Ling family.
This person is one generation behind Ling Ziwei and Ling Hua. He successfully built the foundation more than ten years ago with the help of the foundation building pill provided by Wei Zhong to the Ling family.
He was humble and a little weak, so he was bullied to this point by a casual cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.
Wei Zhong helped him up:
"Nephew Yunsheng has also successfully built the foundation, so he should be tougher. I can just dismiss such unreasonable monks with a few words, why bother? Instead of theory.
You know, your Ling family is not an ordinary foundation-building family. And after a while, he will become a well-known alchemy force in Luohe Prefecture. "
Wei Zhong patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Ling Yunsheng's expression changed slightly and he said: "Senior Wei's words are reasonable. "
Wei Zhong didn't know whether he heard these words, but Ling Ziwei's voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist Wei, for your help. Ziwei still needs to preside over the formation at this moment, so it is inconvenient. I will receive fellow Taoists and wait until my brother successfully forms the elixir before coming back to stay with him. ”
Wei Zhongzhi heard his voice but could not see him. Knowing that the other party can clearly see the scene here with the help of the formation, and transmit the sound to him.
So Wei Zhong bowed his hands toward the formation, then turned around and pulled Qingze to the banquet, waiting quietly for Ling Hua to form the elixir.
During the dinner, Wei Zhong also met many old acquaintances, such as Lan Fangyi, Tan Bo and others who were acquainted with "Song Zhong", as well as Zhu Shen, who had a gap with Qingze.
Many foundation-building monks came to join in the fun.
The expressions of the monks at the scene varied. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some, like Wei Zhong, were indifferent and just came to watch the fun.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, look at how ugly Zhu Shen's face is," Qingze said proudly from the side.
Wei Zhong followed his gaze and saw Zhu Shen with a very gloomy expression.
The other party failed to form an elixir many years ago, and now he sees a talented comrade who is about to form an elixir, and there is an indelible jealousy on his face.
When Wei Zhong looked at him, Zhu Shen also noticed Wei Zhong's gaze.
Wei Zhong smiled at him and raised his wine glass to him from afar. It was originally a friendly gesture, but Qingze laughed beside him.
Zhu Shenxuan regarded Wei Zhong's move as a provocation, his face turned a little darker, he picked up the spirit wine on the table and started drinking alone.
Wei Zhong was a little helpless. He really wanted to have a good relationship with him. He had few enemies, but the other party didn't understand him. Wei Zhong was too lazy to warm up to the other party and start chatting with Qingze.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy in the field changed. The surrounding free spiritual energy began to gather towards the Ling family, forming a spiritual energy vortex half a mile in diameter high in the sky.
Wei Zhong felt the concentration of spiritual energy at hand. The Ling family did not know what method they used to make the second-level high-grade spiritual land have the third-level effect.
“It begins!”
A whirlpool of spiritual energy formed an influx over the Ling family, and the monks present all understood that Ling Hua was beginning to form elixirs.
“Hey, with this whirlwind of spiritual energy, fellow Taoist Ling Hua has started to condense his elixir,” Qingze began to sigh beside him.
The spiritual energy cyclone lasted for a full stick of incense before slowly dissipating.
"Is this the success of condensing the pill?"
The first step is successful, and the only remaining ones are the inner demon tribulation and the thunder tribulation.
The calamity of inner demons can only be overcome by having a firm Taoist heart. During this period, the mind will be tempered by the calamity, and the spiritual consciousness will also be tempered and strengthened during this process.
I don’t know how long the world lasts in my heart, but from the outside world, it only lasts for a few breaths.
The spiritual energy cyclone dissipated, black clouds suddenly came over the sky, silver snakes danced wildly, and the bright sky was instantly covered by dark clouds.
"The calamity of the inner demon has been passed, and there is only the final calamity of thunder."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden figure rose into the sky, and unexpectedly rushed directly outside the formation, facing the That mighty power of heaven.
This person is none other than Ling Hua.
Seeing this scene, four foundation-building monks suddenly rushed out of the scene and headed straight for Ling Hua.
"Sure enough, someone is causing trouble."
Wei Zhong sighed in his heart and already greeted Qingze beside him, intending to step forward to stop him.
Wei Zhong and the Ling brothers and sisters still have some friendship after all, so it is not good to just sit back and watch.
Suddenly, a golden bell appeared in mid-air, blocking the four of them.
"Where did the little bugs dare to run wild here?"
A yellow-robed monk wearing cassocks appeared in the sky, and it turned out to be Sikong Changming.
Ling Hua formed the pill, and as expected he invited his good friend who formed the pill.
"Jie Jie, why do fellow Daoist Sikong bully the younger ones here? Can't the Ling family's grievances be resolved by themselves?"
A black-robed Taoist appeared in front of Sikong Changming, his cold voice filled with chill.
"Where does this hidden thing dare to show its true body and have sex with me?"
Sikong Changming's anger was thunderous, but the black robe and pills did not move. With a look, he took out a black magic sword and attacked him.
The two formed an elixir and fought with great momentum, but they were getting further and further away from Ling Hua. Even the two of them are unwilling to be contaminated by such a calamity.
The four foundation builders who suddenly appeared out of nowhere wanted to drag Ling Hua into the water with the belief that they would die.
Wei Zhongfei blocked one person, and the other three were also blocked by the Ling family's foundation building.
"Fellow Taoist, cultivation is not easy, why seek death here."
Wei Zhong faced a monk with a hideous scar on his face, who was in the late stage of foundation building.
"Master Wei Zhong, Alchemist Wei, because of your good reputation among the casual cultivators, I will not kill you. Please leave quickly and do not get involved in the personal grudge between me and the Ling family. "
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill the wish of my fellow Taoist," Wei Zhong took out a red magic sword as he spoke, and two talismans floated around him. To deal with such a monk whose cultivation level is one level higher than his own, Wei Zhong also made complete preparations.
Looking around, the other three people saw one in the late stage of foundation building and two in the middle stage of foundation building.
Except for the brother and sister who are in the late stage of cultivation, the rest of the Ling family are only in the middle stage of cultivation.
At this moment, Ling Ziwei is in charge of the formation and can no longer escape to face the enemy. It is quite difficult for the Ling family to deal with these people.
This is also the reason why Wei Zhong took the initiative to take on an enemy who was a late-stage foundation-building monk.
"Okay, okay, since you have to wade through this muddy water, don't blame me for being ruthless."
This person danced with his hands and performed an extremely complex seal in an instant.
Pointing at Wei Zhong with two fingers, a black shuttle flew out, like thunder, and arrived in front of Wei Zhong in a blink of an eye.
Wei Zhong's complexion changed, he pulled a talisman beside him, and with the injection of spiritual power, a golden seal phantom hit the black shuttle.
When the two collided, cracks appeared in the shadow of the golden seal instantly.
‘The other party actually used a magic weapon. ’
Wei Zhong looked around and saw that this man was using the power of foundation building to force the magic weapon. He was also very uncomfortable. His face turned pale and he staggered back a few steps.
Forcibly swallowing the blood in his mouth, he made another secret and controlled the shuttle to attack Wei Zhong.
"Boom!"
Electric snakes danced wildly in the air, and a bolt of thunder struck directly towards Ling Hua.
Ling Hua's face was determined, and the earth-yellow spiritual power was poured into the treasured armor he wore.
Suddenly the treasure armor flashed with dazzling golden light, forming a golden shield around the body.
The thunder struck down, and the shield could not hold on for more than a breath before it was broken immediately. The remaining power of thunder and lightning penetrated into his body through the protection of the treasure armor, causing him to frown.
After the first strike, the second thunder fell immediately, leaving no time for it to adjust.
