Chapter 186 Increase in authority
“Thank you, senior, for the gift!”
Wei Zhong handed over his hands to express his thanks, but Cheng Zhenglu just shook his head:
“It’s just an exchange of interests. There is no need for this.
"If I have any requests for weapon refining in the future, I will look for you..."
After leaving some words, Cheng Zhenglu handed Wei Zhong to Cheng Ruirui, and then turned around and left because the sect was busy with affairs.
Wei Zhong was anxious after receiving this spiritual method.
Cheng Ruirui originally wanted to invite Wei Zhongyou to visit the sect, but seeing that he was absent-minded, he had to let him leave.
"Senior Brother Wei, why don't you take care of important matters first and come visit me and our Shadow Moon Sect later?"
Wei Zhong apologized:
"Then I'll visit you again the next day. I'm very sorry."
Then he left under the watchful eyes of Cheng Ruirui and the disciples guarding the mountain.
After leaving the Shadow Moon Sect, Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to return to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, but directly escaped into the portable cave.
Recalling the inheritance of the "Secret Book of Spirit Replenishing" in his mind, Wei Zhong walked to the depths of the bamboo forest in the cave.
“The Secret Record of Spirit Replenishing is not as accurate as the Secret Record of Spirit Replenishment. It records a large number of methods for cultivating elixirs and secret methods for accelerating the growth of spiritual plants.”
After looking through the entire secret law, Wei Zhong found the part he needed.
"Spiritual objects that are nearly ten thousand years old or more than ten thousand years old can be spawned using this 'same extraction method'...
"There are several key points to this method:
"One , there must be multiple spiritual plants of the same species, choose one of them as the main plant, and use various means to capture the nutrients for the growth of other spiritual plants to speed up the cultivation of the main plant...
"Second, it is necessary to A kind of spiritual object, five-color spiritual soil, which looks black but actually contains the spiritual energy of the five elements..."
‘Isn’t this the spiritual soil in the secret realm of the cave? ’
The secret realm where Wei Zhong and others discovered the Golden Thunder Bamboo contained a lot of five-color spiritual soil.
Wei Zhong also used this to give birth to Daijin’s accompanying spiritual plants. At this moment, there are a lot of such spiritual soils in the bamboo forest.
‘There is no shortage of this thing. ’
“Third, use the monk Shou Yuan as a guide and the formation as a supplement to reverse the natural law of the growth of spiritual plants...”
"A ten thousand-year spiritual plant requires about twenty years of longevity...
"The lifespan consumed is not much. After all, it is just an introduction, rather than the secret method of using the monk's lifespan to transfer it to the spiritual plant. . ”
“In addition to these three conditions, it is a suitable growing environment and sufficient aura. These can be created using spiritual stones, which is not difficult. ”
After comprehending this method, Wei Zhong left Dongtian and returned directly to Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
For this cultivation method, Wei Zhong still lacks a lot of spiritual materials, so he must use it in the Chamber of Commerce. It will be easy to proceed after some supplementation.
On that day, Wei Zhong purchased a large amount of various rare spiritual materials in the Chamber of Commerce. After the preparations were completed, he escaped from the Chamber of Commerce and found a deserted place in the outside world to enter the cave.
They came and went so fast that even Miaoli Shan and Shan Qin, who were looking for something to do with Wei Zhong, did not catch up.
“This guy went to the Shadow Moon Sect, and the dragon became more and more invisible. I wonder what he was busy with?
“Probably he gained something from the Shadow Moon Sect. Get busy cultivating spiritual plants. "
"It's a pity. I also want to ask the other party about his level of alchemy and whether he is sure about refining Fengyuan Dan. ”
Recently, in order to replenish his spiritual stone vacancy, Wei Zhong began to refine a large number of fourth-level elixirs, and mid-level elixirs appeared frequently. After Miaolishan learned about this, he gave Wei Zhong the idea of refining Fengyuan Dan.
"Qin'er, you can't wait forever. The sooner you enter Yuanying, the greater the possibility of advancing to become a god in the future."
Shan Qin smiled bitterly:
"Aunt Miao, I just formed the elixir."
"Haha, it's not difficult for Yuan Ying to Qin'er. If it weren't for that unique foundation, there would be no need to wait until this point.
"Let's see when that brat Wei turns around. I'll ask again later..."
What Miaolishan doesn't know is that this wait will last five years.
In the cave sky, Wei Zhongzheng set up a magic formation in the Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest.
This formation is not of high quality. Even Wei Zhong, who is a three-legged cat, can lay it out like a gourd.
“The Golden Thunder Bamboo clusters here have met the conditions for the use of the secret technique. The entire bamboo forest is used as a supplement to support the growth of this 9,000-year-old spiritual bamboo.
"The birth-promoting effect should be very obvious."
Wei Zhong also moved a large amount of five-color spiritual soil in the cave to various places in the bamboo forest.
“Only the monks are left to use their essence, blood, and longevity as a guide to perform magic arts!”
Wei Zhong stepped forward and sat cross-legged on a formation node, beating his chest. , golden essence and blood dripped, falling onto the formation pattern drawn below.
With the loss of essence and blood, Wei Zhong's face did not show signs of depression, but he was aware of the close connection between himself and the essence and blood outside his body.
The key to how to consume a monk's life essence is here. This bit of essence and blood is a hole in Wei Zhong's body.
Shou Yuan is constantly flowing away and injected into the Golden Thunder Bamboo in this bamboo forest.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Zhong's spiritual power was injected into the formation pattern under his feet, and the entire formation lit up layer by layer.
With his many years of Krypton level experience, Wei Zhong immediately noticed the loss of longevity.
“But is this too fast?”
Wei Zhong looked around:
"Is it because there are too many spiritual bamboos in the formation? I hope they don't suck me dry!"
Wei Zhong closed his eyes again and concentrated on casting spells.
After the formation was activated, a huge spiritual energy cyclone hovered over the Golden Thunder Bamboo.
The floating spiritual energy in the entire cave is attracted here.
Although there are only third-level spiritual veins in the cave, there is still a vein of spiritual stone supporting it underground. Therefore, there was no lack of spiritual energy, but such a big movement disturbed the soul-devouring ghost bees in the cave.
The bee colony was agitated for a moment due to the massive loss of spiritual energy, but soon calmed down under the control of the queen bee and continued its honey-making work.
The golden eyebrow in the wine shop also scratched his head and looked at the spiritual energy cyclone not far away with a puzzled expression.
Outside the square, the play between Dai Jin and Jiucai stopped, and then resumed after a while.
Time flies by, and Wei Zhong has been sitting cross-legged in the formation of the bamboo forest for nearly five years.
Opening his eyes, Wei Zhong showed a wry smile.
"Where is twenty years of life? These five years have at least given me more than forty years of life.
"Fortunately, these forty years have not meant much to me. It's just a drop in the bucket. If an ordinary monk were here, he might be sucked to death by the formation. "
Wei Zhong cut off the connection between himself and the formation and stood up:
"The passage between the spiritual bamboos has been built with his own longevity, so he no longer has to wither. Sitting here. ”
For five years, in order not to affect the growth of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, Wei Zhong did not practice the exercises himself, and really sat there for five years.
Looking around at the spiritual bamboos, I found that the entire bamboo forest had undergone great changes. Most of the thousand-year-old spiritual bamboos had fallen into decline, with only a few remaining strong.
The Hundred-year-old Lingzhu and the Ten-year Lingzhu were even more unbearable, and almost retreated to the ranks of ordinary bamboos.
The nine-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo at the core of the formation becomes increasingly golden, and golden thunder light can occasionally be seen flowing between the bamboo body and bamboo leaves.
Wei Zhong sensed something and found that in just five years, it had increased by nearly three hundred years.
"It's really a terrifying growth rate, but it's more of a plunder than a birth." This spiritual bamboo uses this unique magic circle to turn the entire bamboo forest into a root system for extracting spiritual energy, and even' The root system's own nutrition and aura were all taken away.
“This makes the growth rate particularly obvious. However, in the coming time, the growth rate may slow down. After all, the grade of the entire bamboo forest has dropped a lot.”< br>
Wei Zhong recalled other secret techniques in the "Secret Record of Replenishing Spirits", as well as various birth-inducing techniques that he had collected in the past.
“Perhaps while using the same extraction method, other secret methods can also be used to accelerate the growth of these auxiliary plants.”
Thinking of this, Wei Zhong left the cave and then returned to Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
Another big purchase within the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
This time the two Miaoli Shan girls finally caught Wei Zhong. After Wei Zhong finished collecting them, they invited Wei Zhong to a pavilion.
“I wonder what the senior and the young lady want to do with me?”
The two girls looked at each other, and Miaolishan said:
"How is your alchemy skill now, Fellow Daoist Wei?"
Wei Zhong looked surprised for a moment:
"It has only been a few decades since Pindao entered the fourth-level alchemy level. How much progress does Senior Miao think I can make? ?”
The latter sighed after hearing this.
Took out a jade slip and pushed it in front of Wei Zhong:
"Fellow Taoist, can you see if this elixir is reliable?"
Wei Zhong picked it up and probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.
"Feng Yuan Pill?"
After reading the entire recipe, I frowned deeply.
The complexity of this elixir is far beyond what Wei Zhong has seen, and so is the difficulty of refining it.
Far from being the so-called Infant Training Pill, it is comparable to the Dixuan Pill and others.
Evaluating his own level, Wei Zhong found it difficult to make a judgment.
"Is this thing prepared for Miss Shan?"
The latter nodded:
"To be honest with Brother Wei, this thing was prepared by my father for me. Yuanying opportunity, as long as you refine this elixir, you will soon enter the realm of Yuanying.”
Wei Zhong probed the other party's cultivation level and found that it was indeed in the late stage of pill formation and extremely solid. It seemed that the other party had stayed in this state for a long time.
‘Have you been waiting for this elixir for all these years of business in the Restaurant Chamber of Commerce? ’
“I wonder how many materials the host has prepared for the lady?”
“One!”
Wei Zhong was in a dilemma:
"This is a bit troublesome," he raised his head and asked, "Have you ever asked Senior Du?"
"I have, but Elder Du's success rate is only 30%, but spiritual materials are rare, and the success rate is 30%. How can we be reassured?
“May I ask fellow Daoist Wei how sure you are? "
Wei Zhong shook his head:
"You two are too high-minded. Since Senior Du can't do it, how can the next rookie do it?
"If you only refine one elixir from one spiritual material, the success rate is estimated to be only about 20%.
"But if there is a second copy, the 20% can rise to 50%. become.
"It's a pity that spiritual materials are limited and cannot be wasted like this. You two should find another job."
Hearing Wei Zhong's answer, the two women could not hide their disappointment. But looking back, Wei Zhong became a fourth-level alchemist only a few decades ago, while Du Longfeng has been around for four to five hundred years.
The alchemy attainments between the two are not like a chasm, but rather very close.
Doesn't this mean that in a few decades, Wei Zhong's alchemy skills will be equal to or even surpass Du Longfeng's?
The two of them seemed to see hope. Even if the guild leader could not find the God Transformation Pill Master, there would still be hope that Wei Zhong could refine the pill in a few decades or a hundred years.
“I wonder what Fellow Daoist Wei is busy with during this time. Are you studying alchemy?”
Hearing this, Wei Zhong instantly understood what the other party was thinking.
“I’m busy cultivating spiritual plants. I just make some elixirs to earn spiritual stones.”
The two girls looked at each other and said:
"To be honest, fellow Taoist, this elixir is very important to Qin'er, and it can be said to be related to the future path of practice.
"However, we are not too careful now. It's a good idea. Elder Du has not been good at alchemy for many years, so he has to place his hopes on fellow Taoists. "
Wei Zhong nodded, and Miaoli Shan continued to add.
"Therefore, I plan to propose that fellow Taoist elixir quota be increased, at least to the same level as Elder Du. ”
This time it was Wei Zhong's turn to be surprised.
‘Although I am indeed keen on those eternal elixirs, I am just a newcomer. Will the Chamber of Commerce agree to this? '
"Will this arouse the suspicion of other high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce? Will the proposal be difficult to pass?"
"Don't worry, members of the Chamber of Commerce will generally not be aware of such major issues regarding the future of the Chamber of Commerce. Objection. Coupled with the authority of the leader, this matter is not a big problem." Wei Zhong heard this and stopped asking, and left after discussing with the two for a while.
Returning to the cave, various spiritual plant growth methods were arranged to accelerate the growth efficiency of the entire Golden Thunder Bamboo Forest.
After the arrangement was completed, it was already three months later.
Wei Zhong came out of seclusion and found that his authority had really increased.
Just as Miaoli Shan said, the proposal was passed without any obstacles.
“The number of elixirs that can be withdrawn has increased, but the number of elixir tasks that need to be completed has also further increased.
"This chamber of commerce really makes the rights and obligations as equal as possible."
Wei Zhong looked at all the elixir tasks and found that the quantity of these elixirs was not a pressure at all for him.
“You just need to reallocate your practice time in the future and devote more time to alchemy. Anyway, you don’t need to take care of the growth of Golden Thunder Bamboo, and you still have a lot of free time.”
Yunji High above the Chamber of Commerce, Du Longfeng and Yu Tian were sitting opposite each other.
"Brother Du, why didn't you object to Miao Yatou's proposal? You know, that person's increase in the share of elixirs took a lot of money from Alchemist Du Du."
The latter's face was calm, without the slightest hint of anger:
"As people get older, their energy is low, and they have become lazy in such energy-consuming things as alchemy.
"It just so happened that I took this opportunity to put some energy into my body. Isn't it a good thing to lift some of the heavy burdens and teach the disciples in the temple to live a more ordinary life in the future? "
"Haha, what Brother Du said is interesting," Yu Tianze laughed when he heard this.
Du Longfeng shook his head gently:
"I'm too old to fight for it, so what's so funny about it.
"And I've seen the elixir refined by the younger generation. The grains of spiritual energy are full and full. In time, they will surpass me and catch up with me. Solution brother. "
"Oh, Brother Du has a very high opinion of this person. But as the general manager of the Alchemy Palace, do you know this person’s true identity? "
Du Longfeng shook his head:
"I don't know, but I have a few guesses. ”
He raised his head and glanced at Yu Tianze:
"I advise Brother Yu not to try to find this person. Since the leader concealed his identity, it certainly makes sense.
"I As an elder of a chamber of commerce, you only need to uphold what the leader of the chamber has done. "
"Haha, that's all, I'm just a little curious. Since Brother Du said this, Pindao just put aside his curiosity. ”
