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

When Wei Zhong came out of seclusion, Xie Linghua saw Wei Zhong's figure, immediately stood up and said in surprise: "Master!"

Wei Zhong smiled at him and then looked at Ling Ziwei standing aside, thanking him and saying, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Ling, for protecting the Dharma these days."

"You're welcome," Ling Ziwei asked immediately, "Fellow Daoist Wei, is this done?"

"Of course it's done. It's thanks to the more than one hundred Bailing Water Stones brought by Fairy Ling. Otherwise, the hundreds collected by Pindao would really not be enough."

"It's good if it's done. Fellow Taoist, do you need Qianling Water Stone to enter that critical realm?"

Wei Zhong shook his head slightly: "This matter is not urgent. Pindao still wants to practice for a while. He will try to enter the late stage of foundation building first and increase his strength before considering this matter."

Ling Ziwei was slightly disappointed: "That Taoist friend is practicing first, and will definitely come to find me when he reaches the advanced stage of foundation building.

I know that there are Thousand Spirit Water Stones in several secret places. When the time comes, my fellow Taoist will definitely gain a lot if he comes with me. "

Wei Zhong thought it was a bit funny, so he raised his hands and said: "I will definitely go and chat with the fairy when the time comes.

In addition, the Bailing and Qianling Water Stones this time, please ask fellow Taoist to give a reasonable price. After all, they are resources within the Ling family. If they are given to me in vain, I am afraid that the elders of the Ling family will be very critical of fellow Taoist. "

Ling Ziwei pondered for a moment: "That's fine. Fellow Taoist Bailing Shuishi can just pay the market price, and the price can be offset by spiritual stones or elixirs.

As for the Qianling Water Stone, I don't need it. I got it from my brother, and it is considered a friendly gift from me. "

Wei Zhong shook his head: "This is not possible. The Qianling Water Stone is not an ordinary object, so how can you just give it away? If it doesn't work, I will return it to fellow Taoist Ling Hua when the time comes."

After saying this, he handed over a storage bag to him: "It contains thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, as well as various levels of Qi-nourishing pills, Heqi pills and other elixirs, all of which are commonly used by monks. "

Ling Ziwei had no choice but to take the storage bag: "Then I'll follow my fellow Taoist, this matter is over, I will leave first."

After saying that, without waiting for Wei Zhong's reply, he turned his flying sword into a thunder and left.

Xie Linghua chuckled: "I really don't understand the style."

Wei Zhong rolled his eyes at her and asked, "Tell me, do you have anything important to do during these days of seclusion?"

Speaking of which, it only took half a month for Wei Zhong to cast his spirit body this time, and the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" greatly accelerated the process.

Xie Linghua then talked about the arrival of Taoist Qingze.

‘Qingze asked me to make elixirs? ’

‘Is it the second-level realm-breaking pill? ’

Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of the spiritual fruit he obtained in the tide.

Sure enough, less than seven days later, Taoist Qingze rushed to Yunxia Island again.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I'm looking forward to seeing you out of seclusion," Taoist Qingze, dressed in a yellow robe, stepped onto the spirit island on the back of a spirit turtle.

Wei Zhong looked at the turtle under his feet. It was the same one that appeared during the tide watching and treasure hunting a few days ago.

Immediately he exclaimed in admiration: "Fellow Taoist Qingze's beast-controlling skills are really profound. He can actually control so many second-level spiritual beasts."

"Haha, it's just a small trick. Fellow Daoist Wei's spiritual bird is also extraordinary, but I am very greedy."

After hearing this, Jiucai on the branch opened his eyes, took a look at Qingze, whose face was full of stubble, and then closed his eyes again to rest.

Wei Zhong laughed and invited him to sit down in the pavilion on the edge of the cliff.

He poured a glass of spiritual wine for him and asked, "I heard that fellow Taoist asked me to make an elixir. What kind of elixir is it?"

Qingze drank the spirit wine in the cup in one gulp: "You can be sure of the second-level realm-breaking elixir, fellow Taoist."

'Sure enough. ’

Wei Zhong pondered for a moment: "The elixir that is suitable for breaking through from the middle to the late stages of foundation building is not child's play. I only have a 50% chance of becoming a pill."

Wei Zhong stretched out his five fingers and answered like this.

Unexpectedly, when Qingze heard this, he replied with some surprise: "That's enough.

I have collected a sufficient amount of elixir, and I can give it to my fellow Taoist to refine the elixir. I wonder what kind of reward you need? "

Wei Zhong was greatly surprised, but he still expressed his request: "I don't need the spirit stone, but after the spirit pill is completed, if there are more than one, I need to take one of them."

Qingze clapped his hands: "No problem."

Wei Zhong was a little uncomfortable with Qingze being so cheerful. In the past, when had he not bargained with others for any kind of rare elixir?

The two exchanged cups, and Wei Zhong asked with some curiosity:

"Pindao heard that Taoist friend came to see me a few days ago, but Pindao has been in seclusion for many days. Why didn't Taoist friend find other alchemists to refine this elixir?"

When asked about this, Qingze felt a little angry:

"It's all Zhu Shen's fault. He's really a coward and a vengeful person. We had a conflict with him last time while watching the tide and grabbing the treasure.

When I needed to make alchemy, I didn't know what method I used, and no alchemist nearby was willing to accept the commission.

Those who have the courage to accept this elixir commission have a very low success rate, far inferior to fellow Daoist Wei. "

Only then did Wei Zhong realize that it was this reason. It seemed that Zhu Shen had a deep misunderstanding of Qingze about watching the tide and grabbing the treasure.

Of course, there are also reasons for this.

"Ahem, if Taoist friend needs to refine elixirs in the future, you can come and find me. As long as a poor Taoist has time, he will not disappoint Taoist friend Qingze."

"Then thank you Daoist Fellow Wei."

After drinking and having fun, Qingze left behind the elixir he needed to make an elixir, then turned around and left.

Wei Zhong agreed with him that he would come to collect the pills in ten days.

Then Wei Zhong carried the elixir to the cave and took out an aqua blue pill furnace.

This alchemy furnace is a custom-made alchemy furnace for water alchemy by Wei Zhong, not the traditional one that uses spiritual fire to make alchemy.

Wei Zhong took out the Yuanshui beads that had been condensed for a long time. The black water beads are the size of a palm, as black as ink, and the smooth surface has a bright black luster.

At this time, the Yuanshui beads have reached the top grade among the second-level magic tools, which is higher than the general second-level top-grade magic tools on the market.

If Wei Zhong is a Jindan cultivator at this moment, he can refine it a little to upgrade it to the third level, and it is a magic weapon.

Put the Yuanshui beads into the lower layer of the alchemy furnace, which is Wei Zhong's "spiritual fire".

The Yuanshui beads are originally highly concentrated water spiritual power, and it is just right to use them to refine spiritual liquid or make pills.

Moreover, as Wei Zhong's life magic tool, it is even more handy and he is quite skilled in refining pills.

Taking out the spiritual medicines left by Qingze, Wei Zhong placed them on the ground in different categories, and then refined them one by one according to the order.

The time for refining the pill this time was quite long, mainly because Wei Zhong had not refined many second-level breakthrough pills, and had only refined them once for a fellow foundation-building practitioner three years ago.

Although the pill was successful that time, only one was successful, and it was of low quality, not very useful.

Therefore, this time, he was much more cautious, trying to ensure that no mistakes would occur in the early stage.

In one day, the pill refining process was more than halfway through, and the spiritual liquid was constantly condensing in the furnace, and it was about to become a pill.

Wei Zhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he pointed to the bottom of the furnace. Suddenly, the Yuanshui beads began to spin wildly, and the spiritual cyclone that rolled up began to oppress the spiritual liquid in the furnace.

"Close."

Wei Zhong slapped the furnace cover, and three pills shot out instantly. Wei Zhong's spiritual power condensed into a big hand and took them into his palm.

"Three pills were successful, all of which are of medium quality. Not bad, not bad, a lot of progress compared to last time."

Wei Zhong accepted one with satisfaction, and put the other two in a jade bottle.

He came out of retreat to call Xie Linghua, put the pill bottle in her hand, and asked her to hand it over to him after Taoist Qingze came.

Then his figure flashed and disappeared.

"Master is really hardworking!" Xie Linghua sighed, put away the pill bottle and left.

However, what she didn't know was that Wei Zhong didn't return to the practice room to retreat, but used the breath-retaining technique and invisibility technique to leave Yunxia Island.

When the island was no longer visible, Wei Zhong took out a fiery red second-level flying sword, changed into a black robe, and put a magical wine gourd on his waist.

He touched his face with his hand and suddenly became another look.

Looking through the river, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the previous casual cultivator Chu He.

Stepping on the flying sword, Wei Zhong flew straight in one direction. This time he made an appointment with fellow practitioners to explore the secret realm of Dongting Lake together, and he couldn't break the appointment.

Flying to a small island in the river, Wei Zhong put away his sword and fell.

The island was not big, only ten feet square. Because it was often flooded by the river, there were no plants on the island, only some dark green moss on the sand and stones.

There was a stone pavilion on the island, where four people were waiting. Some of them looked familiar, but some looked strange to Wei Zhong.

Seeing Wei Zhong fall, a young Taoist laughed: "Fellow Daoist Song, I finally got you."

Then he pointed at Wei Zhong and introduced him to everyone: "This is Fellow Daoist Song Zhong, who has explored many secret realms with me. For the sake of safety, I specially invited him to join us on this exploration trip."

The young Taoist was named Lan Fangyi, also known as Xugu. He was a fellow Taoist who had built a foundation and had a mid-stage cultivation level that Wei Zhong had met in the past eight years.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, our exploration of the secret realm this time is extremely important. It's not appropriate to invite such a Taoist who is in the early stage of building a foundation," another of the four asked.

Wei Zhong looked unfamiliar with this person. He looked like a fifty-year-old man, with gray hair and beard, wrinkles all over his face, and a pair of slightly protruding eyes, which looked a bit angry and ferocious.

"Hmph," another person beside him was immediately very upset after hearing what he said, "Fellow Daoist Song is not an ordinary early stage foundation building. His fighting skills may not be worse than your old monster Tan.

Besides, I am also in the early stage of foundation building. You are not looking down on me, Mou Yuanfeng, by saying this."

"Ahem," Lan Fangyi tried to smooth things over and said to Wei Zhong, "This is Fellow Daoist Tan Bo, who is in the middle stage of foundation building and is good at formation.

He is straightforward and outspoken, so Fellow Daoist Song should not take his words to heart."

Wei Zhong glanced at Tan Bo, and then said to Lan Fangyi, "Fellow Daoist Xugu, rest assured, I am not such a petty person.

In addition, it seems that this secret realm exploration is unusual, please explain in detail."

"Fellow Daoist Shang will explain this matter, after all, the secret place was discovered by Fellow Daoist Shang."

Wei Zhong followed Lan Fangyi's line of sight and looked at the fourth person who had not spoken. This person was named Shang Mengchun, who was in the middle stage of foundation building.

He is thin and slightly shorter than an ordinary person. The wide Taoist robe draped over him is quite funny.

But Wei Zhong never judges people by appearance. He is not an ordinary cultivator. He can even be said to be a genius among casual cultivators.

He has practiced Taoism for more than a hundred years. He is not only a second-level talisman master, but also a second-level formation master and weapon refiner. He has practiced countless other first-level arts.

He even specializes in more than a few arts than Wei Zhong.

The only shortcoming is that he seems to have too many skills, resulting in a lack of proficiency in all of them. Among the three second-level skills, only the talisman is worth mentioning. The other two are mediocre.

"In that case, let me explain.

A few days ago, when I was exploring alone, I found a secret place in the Dongting Secret Realm. The prohibitions there are connected and have formed a formation. I found a Xuanming grass in it, which is estimated to be a thousand years old."

"Xuanming grass, could it be the Xuanming grass needed to refine the Dust-Reducing Pill?"

Wei Zhong was greatly surprised. As a second-level alchemy master, Wei Zhong naturally knew this one of the spiritual herbs used to refine the third-level elixir Dust Falling Pill.

As for the Dust Falling Pill, as one of the elixirs that can increase the chance of a Foundation-Building monk forming a pill, it is sought after by countless Foundation-Building monks.

"Yes, it is this grass. I saw that this spiritual grass is two feet tall and has more than ten nodules on the stem. It is definitely more than a thousand years old and can be used to refine the Dust Falling Pill."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of several monks present instantly became hot.

Even Lan Fangyi, who had already known about this, was no exception.

"Why didn't fellow Taoist gather the elixir instead of inviting me to wait?"

Shang Mengchun's thin face blushed slightly: "I, I was also chased by a group of spiritual beasts, and I accidentally discovered the location of the spiritual grass while running away in a panic.

Moreover, the spiritual grass was in a residual formation, and the strength of the formation below was not enough to break it, so Taoist Fellow Tan was invited. "

"Here, fellow Daoist Shang, can you please explain the spirit beast and the formation in more detail? With such vague expressions, I don't trust you all to go with us," Wei Zhong said, spreading his hands.

"Fellow Taoist Song Zhong, let me talk about this," Lan Fangyi interrupted when he saw that Shang Mengchun couldn't express himself clearly.

"The group of monsters chasing fellow Daoist Shang are a group of white-browed red monkeys, most of them are first-level, and only a few are second-level.

The reason why fellow Daoist Shang was chased by him was because he accidentally broke into his territory. This time we traveled cautiously, and there was a high probability that we could avoid this gregarious beast.

In addition, the formation mentioned by Fellow Daoist Shang is a fourth-order residual formation. "

"Fourth level?" Wei Zhong said in shock.

The fourth level corresponds to the Nascent Soul level, and a few foundation builders who want to plot the spiritual objects in it are simply desperate.

Seeing that "Song Zhong" had no intention of retreating, Lan Fangyi quickly added:

"Friend Daoist Song, please be patient. Although this formation is at the fourth level, it is already dilapidated.

Its rank has already fallen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a third-order broken formation now.

My fellow Taoists and I have prepared the second-order forbidden cone. With the formation attainments of Fellow Daoist Shang and Fellow Daoist Tan, we can slowly figure it out. It is entirely possible to obtain the thousand-year-old Xuanming Grass.

And how could the place where the thousand-year-old Xuanming Grass be born be a mortal place? Maybe there are even rarer spiritual objects waiting for us. "

After hearing his explanation, Wei Zhong's face looked a little better.

"It's a pity that we couldn't collect the third-level forbidden cone, otherwise this matter would have been a little smoother," Shang Mengchun said with some regret.

Wei Zhong's heart moved.

‘The third level forbidden cone, I have this thing myself. ’

I earned spiritual stones in the past few years and specially prepared some weird gadgets.

This forbidden cone is one of them. It can quickly open a breach in the third-order formation. It is an extremely useful tool for dealing with trapped formations.

The only drawback is that it is expensive and is a one-time use.

However, Wei Zhong did not make a sound to take it out. There were not many Wei Zhongs, only two. They had to be used to save lives and could not be wasted here.

Since these people are so confident, let's follow their plan.

"It's okay. I'm here. If you don't believe me, you can't take down the remaining formation," Tan Bo was full of confidence. "But I've made it clear. When the time comes, I will help you, and I will share most of the treasures."

Upon hearing this, Lan Fangyi retorted: "Fellow Taoist Tan wants to share most of it, but he is a bit greedy. Where will this put the four of us?

The distribution of treasures should be based on each person's contribution. If fellow Taoists can really contribute most of the effort by then, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give most of it to fellow Taoists. "

As soon as this was said, the other three people, including Wei Zhong, all nodded.

"I wonder when I will set off? Will there be other fellow Taoists going with us?" Wei Zhong asked at the right time.

Lan Fangyi shook his head: "Fellow Taoist Song is the last one, and I was just waiting for fellow Taoist to arrive. Without further ado, how about I set off now?"

"Can."

"Can."

······

The four of them had no objections and drove towards the entrance of the Dongting Secret Realm using the escaping light.

Luohe Mansion is different from Mangyuan Mansion in that it not only has a wider area, but also has many secret realms, and there are also things like the Dongting Secret Realm that are open all year round.

"I heard that many secret realms have disappeared in recent years. Do you fellow Taoists know the reasons?" Wei Zhong asked curiously.

Hearing this, Shang Mengchun replied: "Most of the secret realms mentioned by fellow Taoist Song are too dilapidated, and their own space is not stable, so they are directly absorbed by this world.

It doesn’t just disappear, but it becomes a part of this world. "

"oh?"

‘I didn’t expect to hear an explanation similar to the one I heard in Mangyuan Mansion here. ’

"Did Fellow Daoist Song come from other cities? There haven't been many broken secret realms in Luohe Prefecture in recent years," Tan Bo asked tentatively.

"Where did I come from? I won't bother Fellow Daoist Tan to worry about it. Instead of asking about where I came from, you might as well think about how to deal with the remaining formation later. The second-order forbidden cones prepared by Fellow Daoist Shang are not many."

"Humph." Tan Bo groaned and stopped asking.

During the conversation, Wei Zhong and others approached the entrance of the Dongting Secret Realm.

This entrance is located in a large waterfall that stretches for several miles in the Luo River, hidden behind the flowing water of the waterfall.

The secret realm is open all year round, and no one charges for enclosing the land.

When the five people arrived, there were monks coming in and out of the surrounding area.

The other four people used their own methods to pass through the waterfall. Wei Zhong used the Black Water Spirit Clothes and spread them outward, easily lifting up the falling water of the waterfall.

This is the change Wei Zhong discovered after practicing it to the mastery level. The film formed by the black water spirit clothes is no longer limited to the body surface, but can radiate outward and form various shapes.

In addition, it also has the ability to repel water.

After crossing the waterfall, there is not a rock behind, but a gray-white space passage.

The five people crossed it together, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

A dizziness hit Wei Zhong's head, and it got better after a few breaths. He opened his eyes and looked around, and there was a small building complex.

There were also cultivators coming and going, and the sound of hawking and shouting was endless.

There was no immortal atmosphere at all, but it was a bit like a mortal market.

This is the resting place built by the cultivators in the secret realm.

The five people walked out of the teleportation array under their feet and began to move away from this place in one direction.

After flying for a full half day, Wei Zhong and others approached their destination.

Shang Mengchun pointed to a red forest in front and said:

"The autumn maple forest in front is where the group of white-browed red monkeys live. Everyone be careful, don't let the monkeys find you."

Everyone put away their magic swords and fell to the ground.

Wei Zhong put away his magic sword and even used part of the breath-retaining method. He didn't dare to use all his strength to restrain his breath, fearing that it would cause others to associate with him.

Tan Bo looked back at Wei Zhong in surprise, never expecting that this young cultivator in the early stage of foundation building had such a skill.

Shang Mengchun took out four talismans and handed them to everyone.

"This is a top-grade breath-retaining talisman, which I will give to all of you Taoist friends," and then looked at Wei Zhong and asked, "Fellow Daoist Song is still the usual one, so you don't need this thing, right?"

Wei Zhong nodded.

'The breath-retaining effect of this talisman is barely comparable to my current breath-retaining technique, so naturally there is no need to spend more effort to use this thing. ’

Tan Bo shook the talisman in his hand: "A first-level breath-retaining talisman is not enough to avoid those foundation-building spirit beasts."

Shang Mengchun retorted: "If Daoyou Tan has a better way to conceal his breath, you can share it with everyone. Even if it is counted as a contribution, it is not a bad idea."

"Okay," Lan Fangyi took out five small brown bottles from his hand, "This is a special animal-repelling incense for this group of monkeys. You can apply it on your body.

With this thing, plus Daoyou Shang's breath-retaining talisman, you will have a much better chance of passing through this place."

Wei Zhong found that there was some kind of black powder in the bottle, which gave off a pungent smell.

Maintaining the black water spirit clothes on his body to a thin transparent layer, he poured the powder in the bottle from his head.

The five people were ready and moved forward into the autumn maple forest.

Shang Mengchun's rumored voice came to Wei Zhong's ears: "This group of white-browed red monkeys, led by the second-level, occupy most of the territory in the autumn maple forest.

We just need to be careful to avoid the territory of the group of monsters and we can go to the secret place.

Everyone, please pay attention, don't cross this stream."

Shang Mengchun pointed to a stream at his feet and said.

Wei Zhong looked up at the sky and found that there were monkeys with red hair jumping around on the treetops above his head, but they never meant to cross the stream.

"The one above your head is a white-browed red monkey. Among them, the one with white eyebrows is the first level, but if you see a monkey with yellow eyebrows, you must be careful.

It is most likely a second-level existence, the same level as you and me.

When you can avoid it, avoid it, and don't conflict with it unless it is absolutely necessary. If it entangles a large number of its own kind, it will be difficult to escape from its hands."

Shang Mengchun kept reminding everyone while leading everyone on the march.

After walking for an unknown distance, they came to a broken forest. The trees here were much less, and only occasionally roars could be heard in the distant forest.

Pointing to a narrow passage in the forest, Shang Mengchun led everyone in.

Not long after the five people entered, a majestic monkey about ten feet tall walked out of the forest. Unlike Shang Mengchun's description, its eyebrows had completely turned golden, and the hair on its body was also bright red, like a burning flame.
