Chapter 86: Taking Bamboo
“Bang bang,” there was a knock on the door, “Sir, Senior Pei Wan is here.”
“Please come in!”
< br>Wei Zhong looked back and saw a female cultivator wearing a white gown walking in.
He wears a white gauze on his face, which not only covers his mouth and nose below his eyes, but also covers his forehead with a light gauze.
Under the cover of two white gauze scarves, Wei Zhong couldn't even see the other person's eyes clearly, and could only barely catch a few glimmers of light through the gap in the middle.
There are many people wearing weird clothes in the cultivation world. Wei Zhong was just a little surprised for a moment, then stood up and handed over his hands:
"I have seen fellow Taoists!"
Xu Xuanye At the same time, he stood up and said:
"You two chat slowly, I will leave now."
Xu Xuan left, leaving space for the two of them to talk.
Wei Zhong sat down with the female cultivator surnamed Pei and poured a cup of tea for her: "I wonder how much spiritual silk your Taoist friend Pei has?"
A gentle voice sounded: "Fellow Taoist Wei, please don't Urgent, you might as well take a look at the quality of my silk first.”
The other party stretched out his right hand and put down a ball of white jade-colored silk.
What makes Wei Zhong a little strange is that the other party's hands are also wearing gloves made of white gauze.
'What a weirdo. ’
Taking the silk from the table, Wei Zhong finally determined that this ball of silk was at the third level of middle grade, barely meeting Wei Zhong’s requirements, under the double test of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness.
"The quality is pretty good, but does Fellow Daoist Pei have higher-level spiritual silk, or fourth-level heavenly silk?"
"Daoyou Wei is joking, we and other foundation-building monks can It’s already incredible to have a third-level spiritual object like this. How can you covet a fourth-level treasure like Sky Silk?”
Wei Zhong showed disappointment visible to the naked eye, and then negotiated the price with him.
······
After some bargaining, Wei Zhong exchanged 2,000 contribution points from him for four pieces of silk used to make colorful golden bamboo umbrellas.
“Can this item be exchanged for spirit stones?” Wei Zhong asked.
The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "I only accept high-grade spiritual stones!"
Wei Zhong felt a headache when he heard this. He had just received ten high-grade spiritual stones from Tantai Lin. Is this going to be spent?
"I wonder what the price is?"
The other party raised four fingers: "One share of four high-grade spiritual stones."
Wei Zhong took out eight of them with a look of pain.
Pei Wan was a little surprised to see Wei Zhong take out so many high-grade spiritual stones in one go.
But he quickly pocketed the eight spiritual stones, and then took out two more spiritual silks.
The transaction was completed and both parties were very satisfied.
Pei Wan was about to leave, and Wei Zhong said: "I have a lot of demand for this spiritual silk. However, my hands are shabby. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Pei can leave a letter so that I can communicate with him later. Transaction? "
Pei Wan stopped and replied calmly: "If Fellow Daoist Wei needs it again, just contact Shopkeeper Xuxuan."
Leaving such a sentence is a recommendation. Open the door and leave.
Wei Zhong sighed slightly in his heart. After all, this was his first transaction and he had not yet gained enough trust from the other party.
The original intention is to leave the other party's talisman to facilitate communication with the other party and see if he can obtain higher-grade spiritual silk from his hand.
Even if there is no fourth-order silkworm silk, the third-order high-grade silkworm silk is still excellent.
‘What a pity! It is rare to meet such a Taoist friend who holds so much spiritual silk in his hands. '
Wei Zhong felt regretful for a moment and then went to look for Xu Xuan again:
"Fellow Xu Xuan, I wonder if this Yunji Building sells second-level spiritual silk and second-level thunder attribute spirits. Bamboo?”
······
After a while, Wei Zhong left.
In the spirit boat, Wei Zhong looked at the various second-level spiritual materials in his hands and nodded lightly.
This purchase is naturally a preparation for refining the colorful golden bamboo umbrella.
[Level 2 Weapon Refiner·Proficiency (65%)]
Compared with the formation skills that are still at the first level, Wei Zhong's weapon refining techniques have successfully entered the second level, and they are still at a proficient level.
Now I can skillfully refine ordinary second-level magic swords, and occasionally can refine high-level swords.
But the degraded version of the third-level colorful golden bamboo umbrella was still not enough, so Wei Zhong thought of refining some umbrella-shaped magic weapons to increase his proficiency.
Originally, I had the idea of finding Xu Xuan to refine magic weapons, but the quantity I wanted to refine was too large, which made me a little frightened.
‘It’s better to do it yourself, there is still some distance before the foundation building is completed, this time is enough. ’
Wei Zhong flew away towards the secret realm of Dongting.
‘I wonder how Ling Ziwei cracked the formation? ’
After Wei Zhong returned to the secret realm, he finally saw Ling Ziwei breaking through the formation at the critical moment.
The aura of the formation has become very dim. Wei Zhong looked at it with the spirit-seeking technique, and only twelve points of aura were left flickering and moving around.
Ling Ziwei stared closely at the magic circle in front of her, with sweat on her forehead. She was obviously in trouble.
'After all, I overestimated myself. Even if it is a small part of the fourth-order formation, it is at least a third-order high-grade formation. What's more, it is connected to the fourth-order formation as a whole, making it even more difficult to crack. ’
After some hesitation, a small golden awl appeared in his hand, which was the third-order forbidden-breaking awl that Wei Zhong had left previously.
Seeing Ling Ziwei's slightly stagnant movements, Wei Zhong whispered:
"Fairy Ling acted boldly. I have obtained spiritual silk, but I am short of these golden thunder bamboos. "
Ling Ziwei turned around after hearing this and saw Wei Zhong standing outside the formation, looking at her with a smile.
He returned his attention to the formation and took a long breath.
The forbidden cone in his hand was instantly activated and hit one of the twelve nodes. This is where this formation is connected to the overall fourth-order formation.
"Wow!"
A crisp sound like smashing a piece of jade sounded, and in the blink of an eye, only eleven of the twelve formation nodes were left.
With the disappearance of the nodes here, the formation instantly lost its stability like a table losing a leg.
"No, this formation is self-destructing?"
Shang Mengchun on the side said hastily.
"Self-destruction?" Wei Zhong couldn't help but worry when he heard this.
Ling Ziwei very calmly put a formation disk into the missing formation node.
The addition of this formation disk seemed to have put a temporary patch on the damaged formation. Although the formation was shaky, it still maintained a balance between collapse and stability.
Then Ling Ziwei weakened the other eleven formation nodes one by one, and then stabilized the formation again.
This cycle repeats itself, continuously lowering the overall level of the formation.
At this time, even a layman like Wei Zhong could see something subtle.
Shang Mengchun beside him was even more impressed with admiration;
"Miss Ling is indeed a senior third-level formation master. With such accomplishments in formations, even if we practice formations for a hundred years, we will not be able to match her."< br>
"Boom!"
The third-order formation trapping Golden Thunder Bamboo was finally broken by Ling Ziwei, and Wei Zhong and Ling Hua stepped forward to check.
The other people around him, including Shang Mengchun, all left together.
As guest guests, they have already discussed the remuneration with the Ling family, so they will not have a share in the harvest from the formation.
Wei Zhong walked forward and said to Ling Ziwei:
"Thank you for your hard work, Fairy Ling!"
The opponent has been breaking through the formation for more than a month. Not only has his spiritual energy been almost exhausted, but his mental energy has also been greatly consumed. You can see the visible fatigue on his face.
Wei Zhong handed over a pot of spiritual wine, which was Luoyuehong, which had a miraculous effect on spiritual consciousness.
"This wine has the effect of warming and nourishing the consciousness. Fairy Ling might as well try it."
The other party took a small sip, and there was a moment of shock on his face, and then he accepted it as if nothing had happened.
"I'll go take a look at the spirit bamboo in that formation later," Ling Hua said.
Wei Zhong and Ling Ziwei both nodded.
The three of them stepped into the destroyed formation together. At this time, the formation had just been cracked, and multi-colored spiritual mist spread, blocking everyone's sight.
As soon as they stepped into the formation, the scene in front of them was so shocking that the three of them were almost speechless.
The formation is not a forest of bamboos, but a clump surrounded by bluestones.
The bluestones form a circle, about eight feet in diameter and long in length.
There are nearly a hundred green and green bamboos stuck together inside.
There are all from the first to the third level. The only pity is that most of them are the first and second level spiritual bamboos. There are only a dozen or so of the third level, and most of them are the middle and lower grade of the third level.
There are only two third-level high-grade spiritual bamboos, which are more than 7,000 years old and more than 8,000 years old respectively.
Most of the green color on the outside of the spiritual bamboo has faded. If it is left here alone, it will probably take another thousand years for it to leap to the fourth level and become a well-deserved spiritual object that will last ten thousand years.
The golden thunder and lightning filled in the period are transmitted between the leaves and branches of the spiritual bamboo, forming a golden thunder cloud above the spiritual bamboo bush, which looks dazzling and extraordinary. "This..."
Even alchemy monks like Ling Hua were shocked by the scene in front of them. They had never seen so many spiritual objects before.
Calculating its value, it is at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, which is an incredible spiritual material resource for any sect.
Wei Zhong also swallowed his saliva. He was the first to break away from the shock as he was wealthy.
He warned: "This Golden Thunder Bamboo gathers the power of thunder and lightning, so it may not be easy to get."
The Ling family brother and sister then turned their attention to the golden thunder clouds above the Lingzhu.
"What Brother Wei said is absolutely true. The power of thunder and lightning emanating from this golden thunder bamboo clump has been balanced. If we take the bamboo rashly, we may be attacked by its golden thunder.
Even if it is knotted I, a person who cultivates alchemy, will not feel comfortable either.”
Ling Ziwei couldn’t help but feel worried after hearing this.
‘After finally cracking the formation, can we just watch the spiritual objects and get nothing? ’
“Brother Ling’s broken colorful golden bamboo umbrella is still there?” Wei Zhong asked.
Ling Hua was stunned, then took out the broken umbrella and asked, "Brother Wei, what do you want with this broken umbrella?"
Wei Zhong took it and looked at the broken umbrella. The umbrella body said: "I'm just trying to repair one or two. As a lightning protection weapon, the power of thunder and lightning should be weakened."
The brother and sister were a little surprised when they heard this. Ling Ziwei asked curiously: "Is Fellow Daoist Wei also accomplished in weapon refining?"
Wei Zhong nodded lightly: "It's just a second-level method. Although I can't practice this third-level treasure umbrella, I can still do it with barely repair.
Relying on the third-level spiritual silk and the second-level high-grade thunder attribute Lingzhu, you can probably restore this umbrella to the third level of power, so that Brother Ling can use it to get the treasure."
The brothers and sisters could no longer hide their faces when they listened to Wei Zhongfeng's calm words. Stay shocked.
Ordinary people have been practicing for more than two hundred years, and those who can reach the third level of a skill are the leaders of the same level. However, Wei Zhong is not only a third-level alchemy master, but also has climbed to the second level above the level of weapon refining. , really amazing.
If the two of them knew that Wei Zhong's weapon refining had reached this point, but it took less than ten years for Wei Zhong to refine it, they don't know what their expressions would be.
Wei Zhong bowed his hands to the two of them:
"It will take about half a month to repair this umbrella. Please also ask Brother Ling to guard the bamboo here."
"Then we will wait for Wei Dao's friendly news. "
After Wei Zhong said hello to Ling Ziwei again, he left, left the sect ruins, and walked into the cave in search of a deserted place.
Calling Jin Mei, Wei Zhong patted his head and said, "I need your help again."
When ordinary people make elixirs, flames are needed to refine weapons. Although Wei Zhong used water to refine elixirs, he had to use fire to refine weapons.
For a first-level magic weapon, it is enough to use some small fire-attribute magic.
But the refining of second-level or even third-level magic weapons must require higher-level flames.
In fact, the elixir fire of the alchemy cultivator is a good choice, but Wei Zhong does not have enough lifespan to maintain his alchemy cultivation, so he has to use other methods.
There are all kinds of heaven and earth spiritual fires in the world, with different grades, but they are all extremely rare.
Wei Zhong had nowhere to look, so he had to find another way and use demon fire to refine weapons.
Hearing what Wei Zhong said, Jinmei sat cross-legged in front of Wei Zhong, stretched out his right hand, and red flames immediately appeared on his fingertips.
Yes, this is the demon fire of Jinmei.
As a majestic third-level demon, poor Jinmei not only had to work in brewing wine after being subdued by Wei Zhong, but also had to provide Wei Zhong with the flames needed to refine weapons.
Take out two jars of jade zhizui and place them next to Jin Mei as a supplement to his spiritual power.
Then he took out the various spiritual materials he had just purchased at Yunji Building...
The red flames rose, and under Wei Zhong's control, they were as large or small as desired.
This is all thanks to the "True Seal Secrets". The effect of five true seals makes Wei Zhong and Jinmei connected with each other, and they can easily and flexibly control their demonic fire.
If others see this scene, they will be shocked by the close connection between one person and one beast.
The aqua-blue lightning spiritual bamboo gradually melted under the heat of the flames and turned into a ball of blue spiritual liquid. Wei Zhong added various spiritual materials to it to make the repair The spirit liquid of the precious umbrella ribs······
It took more than half a month for the broken umbrella in Wei Zhong's hand to gradually recover.
The green and yellow umbrella handle and ribs have all turned into dark blue, and the damaged umbrella surface has been filled by Wei Zhong with third-order spiritual silk.
If you don’t look closely, it seems to be a third-level magic weapon without any trace of damage.
Wei Zhong put away his precious umbrella with satisfaction and looked at Jin Mei beside him.
After more than ten days of constant arson, Jinmei was very tired, and even the hair on his body was dull.
"It seems that next time I refine weapons, I still need to find the first and third level spiritual fire," Wei Zhong sighed, and then took out three altars of second level Qingluo Zui and placed them in front of him.
Seeing the reward of spiritual wine, Jin Mei immediately regained his energy, opened the seal of the wine and started drinking.
“What a drunkard!”
With a chuckle, Wei Zhong left the cave and returned to the secret place of the sect.
Seeing Wei Zhong appear, Ling Hua quickly asked, "I wonder if Brother Wei can repair the precious umbrella?"
Wei Zhong took out a brand-new colorful golden bamboo umbrella: "Fortunately, I have lived up to my mission!"
Ling Hua took it, opened the umbrella body and injected spiritual power, and the golden and blue lightning flashed on the ribs and surface of the umbrella. .
"Okay, there is no doubt that it is the third level. It is not much worse than the previous complete treasure umbrella. Brother Wei's weapon refining skills are really superb."
Wei Zhong smiled, His eyes were placed on the panel.
[Level 3 Weapon Refiner·Entry (87%)]
What surprised Wei Zhong was that repairing a third-level magic weapon actually improved Wei Zhong's weapon-refining skills to the third level.
Although the proficiency dropped from proficiency to entry level, it won't take long for Wei Zhong to improve again.
Ling Ziwei saw Wei Zhongzhen repairing the umbrella, and her face was filled with strange colors:
"Fellow Daoist Wei is really a role model for our monks, but I don't know how many tricks he has hidden."
Wei Zhong coughed twice in embarrassment: "Brother Ling, the nights are long and the dreams are many, hurry up and get this spiritual bamboo."
"What Brother Wei said is absolutely true!"
Ling Hua opened his precious umbrella and approached the bamboo bush step by step. When he was three feet away, a golden thunder fell from the thunder cloud and struck straight. Hit Ling Hua on the head.
Fortunately, Ling Hua had a treasured umbrella above his head. After filtering through this, only a negligible amount of thunder and lightning fell on him.
Wei Zhong nodded slightly: 'The power of this thunder and lightning is still much inferior to that of the Dan-Jie Tianlei. The treasure umbrella received this blow without any signs of damage. ’
As Ling Hua continued to approach the Golden Thunder Bamboo, the lightning above his head became more and more intense.
At a distance of three feet, Ling Hua, who was a man of alchemy cultivation, walked for dozens of breaths before finally stepping on the bluestone on the outside.
Then he took out a third-level magic sword, pushed aside the first- and second-level spiritual bamboos on the outside, and took out the green-yellow third-level golden thunder bamboo in the middle.
"Brother Ling, just take five of them, and pick some second-level spiritual bamboos by the way." Wei Zhong reminded from the side.
Hearing this, Ling Hua used his magic sword to dig out the roots of the spiritual bamboo.
However, even with the sharpness of the third-level magic sword, it was not able to cut it off quickly. Instead, the golden thunder that invaded along the magic sword made his body numb for a while.
Ling Hua used her own spiritual power to resist, and at the same time relied on the powerful magic body of Jiedan. After spending dozens of breaths, she finally dug out five third-level golden thunder bamboos. When she left, she also dug up some green spiritual bamboos.
So many golden thunder bamboos were lost in a short period of time, and the balance of thunder and lightning between the bamboo bushes was instantly broken.
The golden thundercloud above made a roaring sound, and thunder and lightning overflowed towards the outside world.
Ling Hua quickly stepped back, looking back with lingering fear at the violent golden thunder and lightning behind him.
This power is already close to the first thunder he encountered when he formed the elixir before.
Moreover, there was constant thunder and lightning, and even if the pill fell into it, it would probably end up being seriously injured.
Fortunately, the Lingzhu has been retrieved.
There are five golden thunder bamboos, three of which are third-level low-grade and two of which are medium-grade.
Ling Hua handed three of the plants to Wei Zhong, leaving only one low-grade plant and one medium-grade plant in his hand.
“This time I break the formation to get the treasure, I’m going to trouble Brother Wei.”
Wei Zhong accepted the spiritual bamboo and took out two balls of spiritual silk in exchange.
This time it took a lot of money to obtain the treasure Wei Zhong, a third-level forbidden cone, and spiritual materials to repair the colorful golden bamboo umbrella.
Coupled with the two balls of spiritual silk given, the price paid has faintly exceeded the value of these three spiritual bamboos.
"Here at Lingzhu, Brother Wei, if you need anything, just say something. Ling will say nothing," Ling Hua said sincerely.
Wei Zhong cupped his hands and replied:
"Then we will be in trouble for Brother Ling from now on!"
