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

Wei Zhong stepped on the spiritual energy and headed towards the middle of the Luo River. There were already many foundation-building cultivators around him.

These were fellow Taoists who came to seize treasures. Some of them rode on magic weapons, some rode on spiritual beasts, and some relied on superb escape techniques like Wei Zhong.

The Luo River was already surging, with layers of huge waves rising and falling, lifting up one spiritual object after another.

Wei Zhong was close to a wave and could already sense the surging spiritual energy waves in front of him.

Suddenly, he saw a flash of red light below, which was a rare spiritual object.

The cultivators rushed up, but with a hiss, a bird flew through the crowd and held the red light in its mouth.

It immediately circled up and returned to the hands of a yellow-robed Taoist priest with a stubble on his face.

"Haha, this thing is destined to be with me, the old Taoist."

"It's Taoist Qingze!"

The cultivators present had already recognized this person, and they knew what was interesting and did not fight with him, but rushed towards other spiritual lights.

Wei Zhong's face was also a bit solemn. The bird was so fast that Wei Zhong almost didn't have time to react. In terms of burst speed, this bird was even better than himself.

Watching the palm-sized gray-feathered bird fall into the hands of Taoist Qingze, it put down a bunch of red corals, which seemed to be some kind of second-level coral.

When Wei Zhong looked at it, Taoist Qingze also noticed Wei Zhong and turned his head slightly.

Wei Zhong bowed slightly and went to find another place.

This second-level coral spirit was not Wei Zhong's target, so there was no need to conflict with it.

Moreover, Wei Zhong heard that Taoist Qingze was very powerful and raised a large number of spirit beasts and some second-level spirit insects. Even if he was in the late stage of foundation building, he would have a headache against this person.

'I hope this person won't mess with me. '

Wei Zhong walked towards the aqua-blue spiritual light and picked up a glittering finger-sized stone from the waves.

Although it is called a stone, it is actually closer to the transparent colored glass in the previous life. It emits a bright blue light under the moonlight, which is very beautiful.

This is the Bailing Water Stone that Wei Zhong needs.

‘I got one, but I need more. ’

The number of spiritual objects required for the forging of spiritual bodies varies due to individual differences. Wei Zhong doesn’t know how many he needs, but based on the experience of his predecessors, he will start with 100.

“Boom!”

Another huge wave rolled out a large number of spiritual objects. Wei Zhong stepped lightly and chased over there. Just now, Wei Zhong took a glance and found several spiritual lights similar to Bailing Water Stone.

“Mine.”

“Mine.”

······

Wherever they went, there was no lack of the sound of monks fighting for a certain spiritual object. Some people just had a slight quarrel, and then were attracted by the newly erupted spiritual objects.

But some people encountered a rare treasure, and they got angry during the quarrel and started fighting directly in this dangerous place.

"Brother Qingze, how about you give me this exquisite jade heart?"

"Hehe, whoever gets it first will get it."

Wei Zhong looked over and saw that a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building was fighting with the Taoist Qingze.

The two forces were entangled, and a jade-colored spiritual fruit was suspended in the air.

'This thing seems to be the main spiritual medicine for refining the realm-breaking pill. The second-level realm-breaking pill refined by it can help cultivators break through the bottleneck from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of foundation building.

No wonder the two of them are fighting for it. '

Taoist Qingze is in the middle stage of foundation building, and he needs this thing to refine pills to break through the realm.

The other Taoist in the late stage of foundation building seems to be called Zhu Shen, a second-level alchemist.

It's just that his reputation is not very good, which can be said to be far worse than Wei Zhong.

There has long been an unspoken rule here for others to entrust alchemists to refine pills, either to charge spiritual stones as a reward or to take a commission from the refined pills.

But Zhu Shen is different. Other cultivators who entrust him to make pills not only have to pay the pill-making fee, but also have their elixirs deducted by him.

Others just can't do anything to him. The process of making pills is a private matter. Only the alchemist knows the exact number of pills.

Whether to lie about the number of pills depends entirely on the integrity of the alchemist. Zhu Shen is good at doing things in this matter.

Moreover, this person is narrow-minded and often attacks other second-level alchemists with his own late foundation-building cultivation.

It can be said that he is one of the alchemists with the worst reputation in the vicinity.

Wei Zhong lives in seclusion and uses other vests when he goes out, so he has little intersection with this person.

Just as the two were about to start fighting for this spiritual fruit, a wave of waves came.

Zhu Shen's face changed, but Taoist Qingze was overjoyed and waved his sleeves to create a black cloud.

Looking closely, it was not a black cloud that was scattered, but countless black insects.

Zhu Shen didn't dare to let these spiritual insects get close to him, so he had to give up the spiritual fruit and escape.

Taoist Qingze grabbed the spiritual fruit in his hand, and the wave had already invaded him.

Wei Zhong saw that he released a second-level spiritual turtle, so he resisted the danger and fled to the back.

A burst of blue light appeared on the shell of the spiritual turtle, and then it was submerged by the wave.

While the two were fighting, Wei Zhong had already taken more than a dozen Bailing Water Stones nearby, and then stepped on the violent spiritual energy and fled to the sky.

When the tide subsided, a turtle shell the size of a washbasin emerged in the water, which was Qingze's.

This spiritual turtle was actually unscathed by this attack, worthy of being the most tough and thick-skinned spiritual turtle clan among aquatic monsters.

It was just that its breath was slightly weak and its body size was reduced a lot. Taoist Qingze flew to its side and collected it.

Another spiritual object erupted, and Wei Zhong hurriedly fled there.

There were many shining spiritual lights, and even third-level spiritual objects appeared.

The enthusiasm of the monks was instantly ignited, and those with advanced skills headed straight for the third-level treasure.

Wei Zhong saw an unusual aura.

‘Could this be the Qianling Water Stone? ’

This object is also one of the spiritual objects needed by Wei Zhong, used to develop a heavy water spirit body of Qianjun level above Baijun.

In an instant, Wei Zhong used the Soaring Cloud Technique with all his strength, and a phantom passed over many monks. He grabbed the Qianling Water Stone in his hand and also put away an unknown third-level spiritual fruit next to it.

Such a fast escape caused the companions' expressions to change suddenly, and they hurriedly distanced themselves from Wei Zhong.

With such terrifying speed, God knows whether Wei Zhong would secretly attack them amid the struggle for interests.

After taking a look at the nearby third-level spiritual objects that were already being fought over by others, and there was no second Thousand Spirits Water Stone among them, Wei Zhong set his target on the Bailing Water Stone again.

At this moment, a figure approached Wei Zhong and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you sell me the third-level spiritual fruit?"

The person is Zhu Shen.

Wei Zhong frowned, cupped his hands and said, "This spiritual fruit is of great use to me, I'm sorry I can't give it to you."

Then it turned into a cloud of smoke and rushed towards another place nearby where spiritual beings spewed out.

Zhu Shen's expression changed slightly, and he followed Wei Zhong, fighting for various spiritual objects, and secretly used some small tricks to disrupt Wei Zhong's movement to obtain the Bailing Water Stone.

Wei Zhong stopped and glanced at Zhu Shen coldly, but the other party just pretended that nothing happened. Seeing Wei Zhong looking at each other, he turned back and smiled in return.

‘It seems that this person is here to disgust me and attack me who is also a second-level alchemist? ’

‘I hope you’ve learned something interesting, otherwise, huh. ’

Wei Zhong turned around and left the place, but he didn't expect the other party to stick to him again like a piece of brown sugar.

There was a roar, and another wave rolled up several spiritual objects, among which a third-level spiritual object appeared again.

Zhu Shen gave up on Wei Zhong instantly and headed towards the third-level spiritual object.

‘It’s a pity that there is no Qianling Water Stone. ’

Wei Zhong felt a little regretful and fled towards the spewing Bailing Water Stone.

Fortunately, this item had few uses, so few people competed with Wei Zhong. Relying on his advanced escape skills, Wei Zhong easily took it in his hand.

As for Zhu Shen, he got entangled with others because of a third-level spiritual object.

With a thought in Wei Zhong's mind, he hid behind a layer of huge waves and used all his strength to become invisible and breath-containing.

He gathered a ball of water in his hand, and when the wave swept Zhu Shen and Zhu Shen into the water, he used the flying throwing technique to attack Zhu Shen through the water waves.

This wave was not considered ferocious. Zhu Shen originally planned to block it with a giant shield, and the late-stage foundation-building monks who were competing with him had the same idea.

But just when the huge wave hit, Zhu Shen's complexion changed drastically due to the incoming force, and he had to pour all his spiritual power into his body to resist the wave.

Instead of the person who was trying to snatch it look slightly surprised, he took this opportunity to snatch the third-level spiritual object into his own hands.

Seeing that the spiritual object was taken away by others, Zhu Shen looked behind the huge waves angrily, but could not see a single figure.

‘Is it because I feel wrong? ’

With some suspicion, Zhu Shen began to fight for other spiritual objects.

But after several failed attempts, Zhu Shen was sure that someone was secretly targeting him.

‘Who, who is it? ’

Zhu Shen roared silently in his heart and turned to look at Wei Zhong. But seeing that Wei Zhong was very serious about collecting Bailing water stones, he immediately turned his attention to Taoist Qingze.

Waving his sleeves and robe, he headed towards Taoist Qingze.

"Zhu Shen, how dare you rob me?" Taoist Qingze roared, raised his hand and released a water snake monster as thick as an adult's waist...

Wei Zhong never expected that revenge from this side would cause Zhu Shen to jump over the wall and go straight to trouble Qingze.

‘Are you looking down on yourself, thinking that I am only in the middle stage of foundation building and don’t have the ability to deal with him secretly? ’

After thinking about it, it became clear that Wei Zhong was famous for his alchemy, and other methods must be somewhat lacking in the eyes of others.

On the contrary, Taoist Qingze, who raises spiritual beasts and is good at fighting, is different. It is very possible to use some special monster to cause harm to it.

Fortunately, the two of them only faced off for a while before giving up.

No one wants to miss such a great opportunity to obtain spiritual items.

When Wei Zhong saw that Zhu Shen did not come to trouble him again, he gave up the idea of ​​targeting him and started looking for Bailing Shuishi wholeheartedly.

What Wei Zhong didn't know was that this time he gave up on secretly targeting Zhu Shen, and instead let him know that Nai Qingze had secretly taken action just now.

This is how a black pot was placed on Taoist Qingze's head.

The wave lasted for half an hour and finally dissipated. Wei Zhong collected more than 80 Bailing Water Stones during this period.

When everyone returned home with their loads, they bought more than twenty more from other monks, making a total of one hundred and eight.

‘I don’t know if the quantity is enough for me. ’

Wei Zhong stepped back on Jiucai's back and was greeted by Ling Ziwei's admiration:

"Wei Daoyou's graceful and elegant body skills. He is so elusive that he is unparalleled even among the late-stage foundation-building monks."

"Fairy Ling is so proud of you."

This tide watching is over, let’s leave now.

At this moment, Zhu Shen came up:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, that spiritual fruit just now?"

Wei Zhong waved his hands: "I have other needs, so I can't give up my love."

Then he ordered Jiucai to fly into the sky, leaving Zhu Shen to stay in place with an ugly expression.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't seem to be getting along well with this person?" Ling Ziwei laughed.

"Hmph, this man has a small belly. When he wanted to seize the treasure, he wanted to take the spiritual fruit in my hand. After being rejected by me, he held a grudge and influenced me to pick up the Bailing Water Stone many times. I would even give him a good look."

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Wei has the foundation-building style."

‘This wave brought up only five fingers of third-order spiritual objects. I got one third-order spiritual fruit, Taoist Qingze also took one, and the others were obtained by various late-stage foundation-building monks.

Zhu Shengui was a second-level alchemy master in the late stage of foundation building, and he was unlucky enough not to obtain even a third-level spiritual item.

Of course this is due to his own influence, but it is also because Zhu Shen is not very popular. As long as he wants to get something good, his colleagues will surely compete with him. ’

"Fairy Ling, please bear in mind the matter about the Bailing Water Stone that I just mentioned. You will be rewarded for your poor conduct afterwards," Wei Zhong said solemnly to Ling Ziwei.

Seeing Wei Zhong's serious look, Ling Ziwei also realized the importance of this moment to Wei Zhong:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei, I will definitely start to deal with this matter when I return to my family."

"In addition, if Fairy Ling has information about the Thousand Spirit Water Stone or even the Ten Thousand Water Spirit Stone, she can also bring it out, and she will definitely provide resources that will satisfy the Ling family," Wei Zhong added.

Ling Ziwei can still decide on the Hundred Water Spirit Stone by herself, but if it involves the higher-level Thousand Spirit Water Stone or Ten Thousand Spirit Water Stone, then the entire Ling family may need to be alarmed.

Even though Ling Ziwei has the highest cultivation level in the family, she still needs the consent of the entire clan elders association.

"No problem. Can you tell me why fellow Taoists need such spiritual objects?" Ling Ziwei said, pausing for a moment. "Of course, if it involves fellow Taoist secrets, there is no need..."

Wei Zhong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before deciding to inform Yu Ling Ziwei of the matter.

"Fairy Ling... please fairy not to tell anyone else about this, even fellow Taoist Ling Hua."

"I understand. Fellow Taoist Wei is willing to tell me such secret things because I trust you and I know how powerful it is," Ling Ziwei was quite satisfied with Wei Zhong's frankness and assured her, patting her chest.

Wei Zhong understood that even though he escaped, he was not a child who didn't understand anything after practicing to the late stage of foundation building, so he could still keep secrets.

"But if Fellow Daoist Wei wants to go further in his cultivation, he still needs to consider the Qianjun or Wanjun heavy water spirit body. The effect of this Hundred Jun is really..."

"Alas," Wei Zhong sighed, "Why don't I understand the reason? It's just that spiritual objects are rare and I have no choice.

If you can't change your qualifications, I'm afraid I won't even be able to break through to the late stage of foundation building. "

······

Jiucai's escape speed was extremely fast. While the two were talking, they had already returned to Yunxia Island, and Ling Ziwei left with Feijian.

After Wei Zhong gave Xie Linghua some instructions, he entered the cave.

The next step is to wait for news from Ling Ziwei and start changing the heavy water spirit body.

While waiting, Wei Zhong still needs to complete the alchemy commission he accepted.

I don’t know how long this spiritual body transformation will last, and the time limit for these alchemy commissions is only one month.

The reputation that Wei Zhong had finally accumulated cannot be ruined by this.

Ling Ziwei didn't let Wei Zhong wait for too long. In just three days, she turned around with about a hundred Bailing Water Stones, including three Thousand Spirits Water Stones.

"Fairy Ling, this?"

Ling Ziwei smiled proudly: "Hey, I asked for these from my brother. In addition, there are a few more in the clan's warehouse. I will find an opportunity to ask for them together with you in the future."

Wei Zhong never expected that the other party would reach this point, so he bowed solemnly: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling."

Ling Ziwei's face turned red and she waved her hands randomly, feeling a little at a loss:

"You don't have to be like this, Fellow Daoist Wei, Ziwei is willing to do this." He said this but felt a little inappropriate.

"Anyway, Fellow Daoist Wei, there is no need to be polite. Next, Fellow Daoist Wei will go into seclusion. I will stay on the island for a few more days and have a good time with Linghua. Fellow Daoist Wei will not drive me away, right?"

Wei Zhong knew that he had some thoughts of protecting the law.

"Of course not!"

Wei Zhong handed over all the elixirs he had practiced in the past few days to Xie Linghua, and at the same time told him not to accept any alchemy commissions until he was released from seclusion.

Then he greeted the two women and retreated into the cave.

Looking at Wei Zhong's leaving figure, Xie Linghua's face was a little worried.

Ling Ziwei beside him held his hand and comforted him in a low voice:

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei has always been safe, and he must be completely prepared for this matter."

The latter nodded.

In the cave, Wei Zhong spread all the Bailing Water Stones on the ground, and placed four Thousand Spirits Water Stones on one side of the table.

Later, if the more than two hundred Bailing Water Stones are not enough, I will use these Thousand Spirit Water Stones together. Although it is a bit wasteful, as long as I can exchange for the Heavy Water Spirit Body, everything will be worth it.

Wei Zhong took out another large cauldron. This cauldron was purchased from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce and was specially prepared for the transformation process of the heavy water spirit body.

The refining of this spirit body is to refine the essence of the Bailing Water Stone into the human body, just like refining weapons or elixirs, to achieve the effect of changing the qualifications.

According to records in the jade slips, this process will cause inhuman pain.

Those who practice this method need to adhere to the Taoist mind and persist in one breath until the entire process is completed. You must not stop midway, otherwise not only will all the spiritual objects be wasted, but the legal body will also be damaged.

Of course, the jade slips also introduced several elixirs to neutralize such pain, and Wei Zhong had already prepared them.

He flew into the cauldron, and the surrounding Bailing Water Stones also flew up with Wei Zhong...

"Fairy Ling, when will Fellow Daoist Wei come out of retreat?"

Taoist Qingze asked Ling Ziwei, who was in retreat, somewhat helplessly.

Ling Ziwei replied across the Green Lotus Array:

"Fellow Daoist Wei is in retreat, how can I know when he will come out. And I am not familiar with you, so don't call me Fairy Ling all the time."

Qingze was somewhat helpless, thinking: You don't know, but why do you treat me as an enemy and lock me out of the array.

Ling Ziwei jumped, but Xie Linghua's temper improved a lot:

"Senior Qingze, I don't know when you will find the master. You may as well tell me first. I will pass it on when the master comes out of retreat."

Qingze had no choice but to tell the truth: "I need to find fellow Daoist Wei to refine a complicated elixir. When he comes out of retreat, I hope the fairy will let me know."

Qingze asked for help from others and put himself in a very low position. He even called Xie Linghua, a junior, a fairy.

"Okay, I will pass it on for you when the master comes out of retreat."

Qingze, who got the reply, bowed slightly and turned into a green light and left Yunxia Island.

And Wei Zhong in the cave was unaware of everything and was wailing in pain in the cauldron at this moment.

All the Bailing water stones had turned into a pool of blue spiritual liquid at this moment, and Wei Zhong was immersing his whole body in it.

The rich spiritual liquid corroded Wei Zhong's body like acid. No wonder the jade slip recorded that the process of casting the body was extremely painful.

He stuck his head out and swallowed a red spiritual pill. Suddenly, a ball of warmth arose in his body, forming a counter-force with the spiritual liquid.

Wei Zhong had a chance to breathe.

'It has only been three days, and the transformation process is less than one-tenth or one-twelfth. It seems that at least one month is needed, but it's a pity that half of the prepared pills have been consumed.

Next, you still need to bear the pain, and save the pills for the most important moment. '

Calming his mind, Wei Zhong emptied his mind and unconsciously began to practice the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art".

The blue spiritual liquid was suddenly absorbed into Wei Zhong's body like ordinary spiritual energy.

Wei Zhong, who reacted, looked at his hands and body in surprise.

"This, could it be that the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" also has the effect of absorbing spiritual liquid to change the spiritual body?"

Wei Zhong practiced the technique again, and indeed found that as the technique was running, the spiritual liquid was being absorbed into his body and continuously accumulated into the progress of the spiritual body training.

Wei Zhong was overjoyed and immediately began to practice the technique at full speed. His body was like a sponge, constantly absorbing the spiritual liquid.

"It's faster and less painful."

Wei Zhong simply jumped out of the cauldron, just stuffed his hands into the spiritual liquid, and then closed his eyes and began to focus on practicing the technique.

Half a month later, there was only a thin layer of spiritual liquid left in the cauldron.

Wei Zhong sat cross-legged beside the cauldron with his eyes closed, carefully experiencing the changes in his body.

"The speed of absorbing spiritual energy has become faster, about 30% faster. It's not much, but the efficiency of absorbing spiritual objects is far more than this.

This means that the progress I have made with the same resources at this moment will be greater than before."

"And my affinity for spiritual energy has also increased, especially water spiritual energy."

Wei Zhong thought in his mind, and suddenly a layer of black water clothes appeared on Wei Zhong's body.

"The casting speed of [Black Water Spirit Clothes] is faster, and its power has also been slightly improved. This heavy water spirit body has brought me a huge change.

Not only has it accelerated my cultivation speed, but it has also improved my combat power, which means that I will have a stronger self-protection ability than before."

Safety is the most important thing on the road of cultivation. Wei Zhong has always put safety first in his cultivation.

"Now that the spirit body is complete, I need to come out of retreat and thank Ling Ziwei," looking at the little spiritual liquid left in the cauldron, "If it weren't for her help this time, the little water stone I collected would not be enough."
