I traveled through time and space, and I exchanged my life for krypton

"Junior sister Yu, I've been waiting for you to come."

Zhao Bai said to Yu Xianglan and his party who were rushing to the front line.

"Where's Uncle Lian?"

"A third-level monster attacked the camp yesterday. My uncle wounded it and chased after it. The monster was a white-spotted black falcon with extremely fast escape speed and was good at sneak attacks. My uncle was worried about its harm to the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment juniors. He made up his mind to kill him.

Now I am in charge of this station. "

"How could such a monster appear?"

In the past, the monsters that the Aoki Sect dealt with were mostly land-based monsters such as wolf monsters and snake monsters. Even the occasional birds were only one or two levels, and third-level flying monsters rarely appeared.

"I don't know, but the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range has become more and more evil recently. I would like to remind the new little ones to be more careful."

"Uncle Zhao!" Yao Zhengsheng stepped forward to greet him.

"It turns out to be Zhengsheng. This time he successfully formed the elixir and is finally on the same level as me. Now that he is named the Young Sect Master, he has to think more about the sect."

"Zhengsheng understands!"

"Okay, wait until the two of you arrive, then I can relax. I also want to see Xiao Liuzi, I don't know where he went after chasing the monster."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man dragged a giant wolf out of the forest.

He doesn't dress like a practicing immortal, but like a wild boy from a mortal peasant family.

He was dressed in short clothes, revealing his bronze skin, and his black hair was tied up casually with a straw rope. The thin but powerful body dragged the body of a wolf demon that was two heads taller than a human, making an impact in the eyes of everyone.

Seeing Zhao Bai, he shouted loudly: "Master, I have beaten the wolf demon again. After saying that, he raised the wolf corpse and showed it to everyone."

"Liuzi, come here quickly. I've seen your Martial Uncle Yu and all of your fellow disciples," Zhao Bai looked at Yi Liu fondly, then turned around and said in front of him, "Young apprentice is naughty, Junior Sister Yu, please take care of me."

Yi Liu threw away the wolf corpse and stamped his foot, which caused a ripple of spiritual energy. Controlling the spiritual energy, he flew behind Zhao Bai.

Yao Zhengsheng was a little surprised when he saw this and said: "Sixth Junior Brother is actually a practitioner of both Dharma and Body?"

"Exactly," Yi Liu grabbed hold of him and said to him, "This is senior brother Qi Yao. He has already reached the level of alchemy cultivation. He is at the same level as your master and me. If you have any questions about your cultivation in the future, don't worry. Ask him for advice.”

The latter looked at Yao Zhengsheng in front of him with some curiosity and said, "Senior brother is so handsome. He is even more handsome than Gua Wazi in our village."

As soon as these words came out, Yao Zhengsheng's expression suddenly lost control, and Yu Xianglan on the side even laughed out loud.

The eyes of the true disciples behind seemed to be fluctuating, but they suppressed their smiles.

"Six sons, please don't be rude," Zhao Bai said solemnly, holding his arm.

The latter also seemed to know that he had made a mistake and lowered his head.

Yao Zhengsheng, who is the young sect leader, quickly reacted: "Nothing, it's a good thing that junior brother has a lively temperament."

Then he took out a black talisman and said: "This is the talisman that master once gave me. I have formed an elixir, but it is useless. Now it is just right to give it to my junior brother."

Yu Xianglan also took out a blue talisman. Zhao Bai was shocked when he saw this: "Thousands of flowers and birds? Junior sister, you even had to take out this talisman."

"It's just a magic talisman. At worst, I just need to make another one."

This talisman is not a traditional talisman, but is engraved with Yu Xianglan's specialty spiritual method, "Thousands of Flowers and Birds", which is both a trap and a killing method. This kind of spiritual talisman is extremely difficult to carve, and the material itself is worth five thousand spiritual stones.

Yao Zhengsheng was a little surprised, even though he was the number one true successor, he did not receive such preferential treatment.

"Thank you, Senior Uncle Yu, thank you, Senior Brother Yao," Yi Liu, who was holding the treasure, was very obedient at the moment. After thanking him, he turned over the talisman in his hand and kept looking at it.

The three true disciples at the back had different expressions, but after seeing the reactions of their senior brothers and uncles, they also took out their respective greeting gifts. Although they are all second-level treasures, they are all treasures.

After dispersing the disciples, Yu Xianglan and Zhao Bai were left standing alone.

"Senior Brother has really taken on a good disciple. If Junior Sister is not mistaken, Yi Liu has not only built a physical foundation, but his spiritual cultivation has also reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. It has only been more than 40 years since Senior Brother accepted this disciple, right?"

"Junior sister has a keen eye. To be precise, she only started practicing when she was sixteen years old, and she has been practicing for only thirty-six years now.

When I first met him, he was herding cattle for his family. A young boy in his teens could pull the cattle and run. It was a natural talent.

I suspected that he possessed some kind of spiritual body. After searching, I found nothing, but I found that he had a unique and unusual thunder spirit root, which was suitable for practicing my "Golden Thunder Technique". That's when I decided to take it under my wing. "

"Spirit body? It's still the thunder spirit root. Senior brother, you only told junior sister now because you were afraid that junior sister would steal your apprenticeship."

Zhao Bai chuckled: "I informed Senior Brother Nie about this matter, but Junior Sister doesn't know about it. That must be the intention of Senior Brother Nie."

"It's really rare for this kid to still have such a pure heart after practicing Taoism for many years," Yu Xianglan said with emotion when she saw Yi Liu surrounded by everyone.

"Junior sister is right. It is precisely because of this innocent mentality that his breakthrough level is as smooth as drinking water. It's a pity that my uncle doesn't know his physique, otherwise he would be able to gain one point faster by practicing suitable techniques."

"Senior Brother Zhao, just be content. This kind of qualification is only at the seed level in Yuanying Sect. Now it is good luck that Senior Brother has found it."

"Hey, my disciple is not a disciple of the sect?"

······

"Yi Liu, why did your parents give you such a name?" Lin Muxue asked curiously.

"I, no, I am the sixth child in my family, so I took the word six."

Looking at his shy face, several senior brothers and sisters were amazed.

Luo Zhigang patted his shoulder and said in a voice transmission: "Don't tease Senior Brother Yao like this in the future. As a junior brother, you must be respectful, just like you respect your elder brother at home."

Yi Liu glanced at Luo Zhigang and didn't reply, but nodded as if he understood.

"The Grandmaster is back!"

During the conversation, Yao Zhengsheng suddenly said, and everyone looked up in the air and saw a beam of light flying over, and they all got on it.

Zhao Bai asked first: "Uncle Master, have you caught the white-spotted black falcon?"

The latter shook his head: "That animal is very cunning. It broke into the territory of a fourth-level demon. I dare not go deeper, so I returned the same way. Let all disciples be careful and report immediately if they find its trace."

"And Zhengsheng, don't be careless. With its cunningness, even if you are a Jindan cultivator, you may be killed by it without being noticed."

Yao Zhengsheng would naturally not ignore the advice of a late Jindan cultivator.

Clenching his fist, he said solemnly: "Yes, Master. Disciple understands."

Black Lake Island,

Wei Zhong saw the spiritual energy cyclone on the spiritual island slowly dissipating, and he understood that Li Haowen had successfully built his foundation. After more than ten years, the Li family finally had a foundation cultivator, and Wei Zhong didn't need to support them.

"Does the master feel that it's a pity to lose the title of guest official?" Xie Linghua asked with concern.

Wei Zhong shook his head: "What a pity, it's time to unload the burden. Helping him to achieve a foundation building is considered to have officially ended the cause and effect of the spiritual land between me and the Li family.

Don't look at how glorious Li Haowen's achievement of foundation building is, he also has a lot of responsibilities. The fate of so many members of the Li family is in his hands. It's not easy to keep the family alive among the two major forces of forming a dan."

After saying this, Wei Zhong left with a wave of his sleeves, leaving Xie Linghua alone in the place, feeling sad.

After so many years of contact with Wei Zhong, Xie Linghua has been able to understand him a little bit.

Although he treats others kindly, he is a cold-hearted person.

'Master Chu Zhong only cares about the people close to him, such as the three sisters including himself. Other maids and servants are just the relationship between the master and the servants maintained by spiritual stones. Even the three of us sisters may not have much weight in the master's heart. '

Xie Linghua stroked her belly that had not yet bulged, and a trace of regret arose in her heart.

"Congratulations on your foundation building!"

When Li Haowen came out of retreat, Wei Zhong was already standing by with his magic sword.

Seeing Wei Zhong's figure, Li Haowen was also moved: "Senior..."

Wei Zhong waved his hand: "Since you have already built your foundation, you and I should still call each other fellow Taoists. Let's talk about reminiscing about the past later. Let's take care of your Li family affairs first."

Wei Zhong pointed in the direction of Luo Mingyan and the elders of the Li family. Li Haowen naturally understood what happened. He bowed to Wei Zhong and moved closer to the crowd.

Wei Zhong retreated to the lakeside, threw out a green boat, and put the spirit wine on it and began to drink by himself.

Seeing that the Li family had discussed with Luo Mingyan, it seemed that they had reached an agreement. Luo Mingyan did not stay any longer and wanted to pull Pang Sanchun away.

Just after leaving the island, he heard Wei Zhong's voice transmission, and a green boat blocked the way ahead.

"Brother Luo, wait!"

A storage bag flew out of the Qingzhou, and Wei Zhong's voice rang in Luo Mingyan's ears: "I also want to thank Brother Luo for bringing me to Mingyue Market many years ago. This is a thank you gift. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Luo Mingyan glanced at the things in the storage bag, thought for a few breaths, and then accepted it. He bowed to the Qingzhou and immediately turned into a light and flew away.

'After resolving the cause and effect, you can walk the great way.'

In the dark, Wei Zhong seemed to have some insights, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards the Qingzhou, forming a small cyclone, which lasted for a hundred breaths before slowly dissipating.

[Cultivation: Foundation Building Level 2 (30%)]

'This insight actually made my foundation building level 2 cultivation improve by half, which is really a pleasant surprise. But 'cause and effect', is the great way in this world so superficial that I can benefit from it even if I am just a small foundation building? ’

Li Haowen and the Li family members on the nearby spiritual island saw the spiritual cyclone raised by the green boat, and immediately became more awed by ‘Chu Zhong’, the foundation-building master.

After the spiritual cyclone dissipated for a long time, Li Haowen flew close and said: “Congratulations to the senior for his great progress in cultivation!”

A burst of spiritual power lifted the curtain in the boat, and Wei Zhong’s voice came out: “It’s just a little bit of enlightenment, but I want to congratulate you on your successful foundation-building.”

Li Haowen stepped into the boat, and there was spiritual wine in the boat. He picked up the cup with both hands and said in a solemn voice:

“Thank you for your kindness, senior.”

After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.

Wei Zhong smiled and waved his hand: “It’s just a small helping hand, it still depends on your own efforts. It is much more difficult to break the inner demon of a failed foundation-building than an ordinary foundation-building.”

Hearing this, Li Haowen was also frightened. In the past, the various family burdens weighed him down and made him breathless. The expectations of the elders, the hopes of his parents, and all kinds of pressures became obstacles in his foundation building, and most of the failures in foundation building came from this.

After the failure, he was gossiped and looked down upon, which made him feel a little relieved. After a period of tempering, his mind became stronger, and with the recovery of his injuries, he took a foundation building pill, which made him succeed in foundation building.

"The burden in the future will be heavy, don't be crushed by this responsibility."

Li Haowen nodded thoughtfully.

"Since you have become a foundation builder, the Li family no longer needs my name as a foundation builder." Wei Zhong put away the spirit wine and stood up slowly, already intending to see off the guests.

Li Haowen bowed his hands and withdrew from Ye Qingzhou.

With a flash of green light, Wei Zhong returned to Black Lake Island.

Li Haowen greeted the elders of the Li family, and Li Ren asked cautiously: "Senior Chu, can you still wish..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Haowen: "From now on, Senior Chu is no longer a guest of my Li family, and has no connection with my Li family. All affairs of my Li family are decided by my Li family, and there is no need to consider others."

The clan elders in the audience were all talking about it. They never imagined that it would end up in such a situation.

Only the clan leader Li Ren sighed slightly.

"Immediately, in compliance with the sect's order, summon five high-level Qi Refining monks from the Li family to accompany me to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

Li Haowen stared at the clan elder below, who mostly shrank his neck and lowered his head.

······

"Master, is it over?"

Seeing Wei Zhong return, Xie Linghua stepped forward and asked softly.

Wei Zhong held him in his arms with his right hand: "Of course it's over. From now on, our Black Lake Island has nothing to do with the Li family. From now on, you will have to work hard on the island's affairs."

Xie Linghua shook her head gently: "It is my duty to share the master's worries, so why bother?"

"How are the servants on the island being dismissed?"

"Don't worry, sir. I have repatriated all members of the Li family. Now the people on the island are all casual cultivators. They just feel that I am kind and the treatment is high, so they don't want to leave."

Wei Zhong nodded. As a second-level mid-level spiritual land, Black Lake Island does not provide thousands of monks like other cultivating families. There were only about a hundred people on the island. Even if Wei Zhong took the bulk, the rest would be enough to feed the monks below.

The treatment is much better than that of the spiritual farmers working under the Qingmu Sect.

"If you are happy today, let's open a cellar of green radish and drink it to them."

Xie Linghua was shocked. A cellar of green radish was drunk. Even the lowest grade was worth at least a thousand low-grade spiritual stones in the market.

Seeing his confused look, Wei Zhong said: "I just feel it now, my realm has only improved by half a level."

Xie Linghua felt a little disappointed when she heard this, but she still said with joy: "Congratulations, sir."

Wei Zhong looked at it and was able to gain some insight into his inner thoughts.

He patted his shoulder: "I know what you are thinking, but it is not the time yet."

Seeing his visible loss, he held his hands, squeezed his palms slightly, and whispered in his ear: "Practice well, and I will prepare a Foundation Building Pill for you when you reach the later stage of Qi Refining."

After hearing this, the disappointment on his face suddenly turned into surprise. He leaned up and kissed Wei Zhong on the face, and said with a blush on his face: "Thank you, sir!"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart when he saw this woman's behavior. He suppressed it and rubbed her forehead.

······

In the cave, Wei Zhong was holding the second-order Qingluo Zui with a hesitant expression.

‘Sooner or later, the oppression of the Qingmu Sect will shift from the Establishment Family to idle Foundation Establishments like me, so I have to make plans in advance. ’

After collecting the spirit wine, Wei Zhong left the cave and turned into a ray of light and flew in one direction.

The purpose of this trip is to gather at the Chamber of Commerce. To be precise, it is the station of Yunji Chamber of Commerce here.

In order to combat the Qingmu Sect over the years, the Yunji Chamber of Commerce not only opened a store in Mingyuefang City, but also found a first-order spiritual land nearby and established a local station.

And I don’t know what method was used to actually gather the free spiritual energy around it, making the spiritual energy inside the station no less rich than the second-level spiritual land, which opened the eyes of the cultivators.

All kinds of products in the Chamber of Commerce store are clearly marked with prices, and they are very complete. Even the foundation-building pills that can only be seen at auctions in the past are also listed in real form and placed in the center of the store.

Driven by this, a new market has formed near the Chamber of Commerce, which has great potential to suppress Mingyue City.

Wei Zhong went straight to the store of the Chamber of Commerce and called the servant in the palace: "Fairy Rongjurong is here."

"Senior, wait a moment!"

After a while, a woman in green came down the stairs and said with a smile: "It turns out that Fellow Daoist Chu is here. Please come upstairs to talk about it."

When the customers in the store saw Wei Zhong following a female cultivator upstairs, their eyes were full of doubts. Even the servant Wei Zhong had just called was the same. He murmured: "It is very rare for Master Rong to entertain guests in person."

A monk next to him came up to inquire about the price, interrupting this person's thinking.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, why did you come here today?"

Rong Ju took a plate of spiritual tea from the maid beside her and placed it in front of Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong hesitated, as if it was difficult to speak. He held it in for a while before replying: "I wonder if Senior Shan and Senior Miao are here?"

Rong Ju shook her head: "Unfortunately, Miss and Master Miao just left a few days ago."

"Does Fairy know where the two seniors have gone, or when they will return?" Wei Zhong continued to ask.

"We, the servants, dare not ask about the movements of young lady and senior." Rong Ju's expression remained unchanged as she held up the spiritual tea in front of her, "If you have any urgent matters, please tell me."

Wei Zhong struggled a little and finally revealed the secret persecution of the Qingmu Sect.

Rong Ju had a look of surprise on her face: "Is this happening? Although my Yunji Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do with the Qingmu Sect, it is only limited to business. I'm afraid it will be difficult to help fellow Taoists."

"Girl Rong is right," suddenly an old woman with gray hair walked in from the door.

Seeing this, Rong Ju quickly stood up: "I've met Granny Ruan."

He turned around and introduced to Wei Zhong: "Granny Ruan is the local shopkeeper of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce. In my absence, all matters will be decided by her."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong quickly stood up and bowed in greeting: "I've seen you, senior."

The latter waved his hand, and with a flick of his hand, the two sat down again.

‘It’s indeed a pill. ’

Wei Zhong was not surprised at all when he saw this method. As someone who was stationed in this chamber of commerce, the cultivation of alchemy was only the foundation. What was more important was probably his method.

Recalling Rong Ju's lukewarm attitude, Wei Zhong could roughly guess that it was his handiwork.

Qishi Shiran pulled up a chair and sat down, and said unhurriedly:

"After all, I, Yunji Chamber of Commerce, act according to the rules, but now I can't help but break these rules for fellow Taoists.

The young lady once said that if my Taoist friend can brew a second-level spiritual wine, he can be given the position of guest. Fellow Taoist, have you succeeded now? "

Wei Zhong lowered his head and pondered, and finally shook his head: "Never."

Wei Zhong thought about it for so long and did not choose to expose the fact that he had brewed the second-level Qingluo drunk at this time.

Although the Qingmu Sect showed signs of forcing the casual cultivators to take sides, they did not take action immediately, so Wei Zhong was not in a hurry to find shelter.

This time it was just a test of Yunji Chamber of Commerce’s attitude.

"That's such a pity," Shopkeeper Ruan said with some regret.

······

Walking out of the back pavilion, Wei Zhong suddenly felt that everything in front of him became clear.

The Yunji Chamber of Commerce is indeed a business group that puts interests first, and will not give preferential treatment to anyone just because of personal favor within the chamber of commerce.

This is good news for Wei Zhong. It means that if he joins in the future, he will not have to worry about personal information being sold and leaked by the Chamber of Commerce.

‘Yunji Chamber of Commerce has such a thick thigh, so I’m not in a hurry to hug it. Qingmu Sect is not pressing too hard at the moment.

With the trump card he holds, it can be said that he is not afraid of most of the monks of the Qingmu Sect. After forming the pill, he basically delivers food. Only pill formation can truly threaten Wei Zhong.

But even if Jiedan comes, does he have to join the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?

Not necessarily. With his own strength, it would not be difficult to take Xie Linghua and others to practice in another place.

What's more, there is still Cave Heaven within me. If you throw away all external connections and achieve the goal of naturally forming elixirs for hundreds of years, why should the Qingmu Sect take it seriously? ’

'But that's not what I want. Cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. After experiencing what happened to the Li family, I have understood that the path of cultivation is not just about accumulating spiritual power and achieving breakthroughs in realms. It also requires honing one's own mind over the years.

Immortals are like mountains of people! Only by tasting all the flavors of the human world can you get a glimpse of the path to immortality.

How can this world of cultivation be different from the human world? ’

As soon as he thought this, Wei Zhong suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear, and his soul seemed to have undergone some training. The time treasure record in the sea of ​​​​consciousness shone with golden light, faintly echoing Wei Zhong's thoughts.

‘Is this enlightenment again? ’

This time's enlightenment did not seem to be like the previous improvement in cultivation level, but was reflected in the state of mind and soul, and also touched the time treasure record that Wei Zhong had been unable to do anything about for a long time.

Wei Zhongnei looked at the ancient book in his mind and murmured in his heart: "Where are you from?"

Naturally, there was no answer to the inquiry. Wei Zhong calmed down and started visiting major stores.

“You need to be strong yourself when you are forging iron. Instead of asking others, it is better to ask yourself. ’

I changed several identities and went to various shops to start spending spiritual stones, second-level disposable talismans, second-level protective magical weapons, golden talismans, and aged Ganoderma lucidum...

This was the most enjoyable experience Wei Zhonghua had ever spent on spiritual stones. Forty to fifty thousand spiritual stones had already been paid out in one pass.

‘Although you have to follow your mood, you can’t ignore safety. ’

For this reason, Wei Zhong returned to his original appearance and went back to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. He hesitated outside for a while, and finally left with regret.
