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

Wei Zhong followed Ling Ziwei as he fled and came to a wide waterfall.

"Could the secret place that Fairy Ling mentioned be in the secret realm of Dongting?"

The latter nodded, and Wei Zhong curiously followed him into the secret realm.

As the surrounding scenery became more and more familiar, Wei Zhong discovered that it was the Autumn Maple Forest that he had been to.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please do not enter this forest. There is a group of monkeys living inside, including many second-level beings. It will be very troublesome for the foundation-building monks to deal with them."

Wei Zhong looked strange. It was not until he took him up into the sky that Wei Zhong was sure that it was the sect's legacy where he obtained the Xuanming Spirit Grass.

‘No wonder the other party can produce so many thousand-year-old spiritual herbs. ’

The two fell from the clouds and happened to see Ling Yunsheng guarding outside the stone steps.

"I've met Miss Ling, I've met Senior Wei."

The other party was as shy as ever.

Ling Ziwei nodded, Wei Zhong also said hello, and then the two of them climbed up the steps.

"There is a restricted airspace here, so Fellow Daoist Wei still walks up there with me..."

Listening to his ramble about various restrictions on this ruins, Wei Zhong just nodded without saying a word.

After walking through the stone steps, the two arrived at the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Wei Zhong met several foundation-building monks, including Lan Fangyi and Monk Mengchun, whom Wei Zhong was familiar with.

Wei Zhong understood clearly:

‘Probably these two people felt that there was little hope of cracking the secret here, so they revealed the information about the secret to the Ling family. ’

When they saw Ling Ziwei bringing a strange monk, they thought it was a new guest.

He came forward and said to Ling Ziwei: "I have seen Miss Ling. It will take about two months to break the ban on this small film..."

After finishing his report, Shang Mengchun turned his curious eyes to Wei Zhong: "Is this fellow Taoist a new guest?"

This place was blocked by the Ling family, so Shang Mengchun guessed that the only people who could come in were the Ling family themselves.

"No, Fellow Daoist Wei is the alchemist invited by me," Ling Ziwei shook her head and then looked at Wei Zhong and said.

Wei Zhong raised his hand and said, "I am Wei Zhong, a third-level alchemy master. I have met two fellow Taoists."

"Wei Zhong?" The two of them recalled for a moment, and suddenly thought of the casual alchemist rumored in the workshop.

Because Wei Zhong rarely appeared in public with his true appearance, most casual cultivators in the outside world only knew Wei Zhong's name, but did not recognize Wei Zhong's appearance.

"It's actually Master Wei!"

The two people's expressions immediately became a little frightened. It was rumored that he was only a second-level alchemist, but he didn't expect that he was now a third-level alchemist.

Ling Ziwei had previously promised the two of them that she would find a chance for a Dust Falling Pill for them, and now it is highly likely that it will fall on the pill master surnamed Wei.

The two looked at Ling Ziwei and Wei Zhong in front of them strangely.

‘I have long heard that Fairy Ling has a close relationship with Alchemist Wei, but I didn’t expect that even this secret place was revealed to the other party...’

"Okay, fellow Taoist friends, I still need to take fellow Taoist Wei to see my brother, so I will leave now."

······

Among the ruins of the sect not far away, Wei Zhong saw a pavilion built with rocks.

It seemed that someone among them noticed the arrival of Wei and Zhong. The door of the pavilion was opened by a burst of spiritual energy, and the two entered.

Wei Zhong saw Ling Hua sitting cross-legged here. There was an earthy-colored aura around him, and he was obviously finishing his work.

Wei Zhong carefully felt the spiritual energy around him and discovered that it was a third-level spiritual land.

In his hurry when he came here before, Wei Zhong didn't even notice that there was a third-level spiritual land here.

No wonder Ling Hua did not stay at the Ling family, but practiced here.

Ling Hua finished her exercise and opened her eyes. A divine light passed over the two of them, exuding the unique power that could only be achieved by pill formation.

Wei Zhong's consciousness trembled slightly to resist this. Sometimes Guang Bao Lu suppresses the sea of ​​consciousness, and with Luo Yue Hong's gain, the intensity of Wei Zhong's consciousness is no less than that of an ordinary person in the early stage of pill formation.

This small amount of pill-forming spiritual pressure naturally has no impact on Wei Zhong.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Ling Ziwei beside him, and found that the other person just frowned slightly and acted as if nothing had happened.

Power comes and goes quickly.

"Brother Wei, I'm sorry. I just finished my training and am not yet comfortable with controlling my own power."

"No problem."

The few people looked at each other and sat down at a low table.

Ling Ziwei took out the Dust Falling Pill contained in the jade pill bottle. Ling Hua showed a hint of joy after identifying it:

"Brother Wei is indeed very skilled in elixirs. He can even successfully refine third-level elixirs such as Dust Falling Pills."

"Brother Ling, thank you very much."

At this time, Ling Ziwei on the side added: "Brother, Fellow Daoist Wei didn't get any commission from this alchemy."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Wei Zhong had a smile on his lips: "I have known Fairy Ling for many years, and I only have a little knowledge of elixir refining. I will treat it as my advance blessing for Fairy Ling's elixir formation ceremony."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is upright, but our Ling family is not a small family, so we cannot break the rules for this matter."

After saying this, Ling Hua took out a spiritual grass and a red spiritual fruit.

The spiritual grass is green and has thirteen nodules on its body. It is one of the main ingredients of the dust-reducing pill, the thousand-year-old Xuanming spiritual grass.

And the other spiritual fruit is naturally another main medicine, the Millennium Nine Heart Fruit.

"These two spiritual objects should be used as materials for the alchemy of fellow Taoist this time. I should have asked fellow Taoist to get a spiritual elixir, but the dust-falling elixir is indeed very important to my sister..."

Wei Zhong nodded to express his understanding, and then accepted the two thousand-year-old spiritual objects.

"Fairy Ling already has the Dust Reducing Pill, but I wonder when she will start to form the pill."

Ling Ziwei looked bitter: "The preparations before forming the pill are not enough, especially the means to deal with the thunder tribulation are not many, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this tribulation."

Wei Zhong talked with a few people and learned that most of the family heritage of the Ling family was spent on Ling Hua's last pill formation.

Now, the only thing they have to deal with the thunder tribulation is probably the replicable substitute formation.

But the last time the Ling family used this formation, the family lost half of their foundation building, and they lacked a third-level formation master to preside over this formation.

Now that it is no longer possible to use this formation, Ling Ziwei needs to find a new way to deal with the tribulation.

"Daoyou Wei may not know that we have been breaking through the formation here for many years and have vaguely discovered that there is a kind of thunder spirit plant in it, which is very likely to be golden thunder bamboo."

"Hmm?"

Wei Zhong looked excited: "I wonder how old and how many golden thunder bamboos are?"

Ling Hua shook his head and smiled: "Daoyou Wei, don't be excited. We are just guessing at the moment. Whether it is golden thunder bamboo is still undetermined, and its number and age are not clear.

But please rest assured, Daoyou Wei, if there are more plants, we will definitely give some to Daoyou."

"Thank you, Brother Ling."

Wei Zhong didn't expect that the method of refining the seven-color golden bamboo umbrella that he got from Ling Hua a few years ago, and he had been looking for golden thunder bamboo for many years without success, but now he got the news from Ling Hua again.

"If it is really golden thunder bamboo, we can find a weapon refiner to refine the seven-color golden bamboo umbrella, and this half of the Jindan thunder tribulation will be passed.

As for the other half, I am afraid it will still fall into Brother Wei's hands," Ling Hua said to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong looked puzzled.

Not long after, Wei Zhong followed Ling Ziwei out of the Dongting Secret Realm.

As they flew along, Wei Zhong looked at the increasingly unfamiliar scenery around him, and couldn't help but wonder:

"Fairy Ling, we have already gone deep into the land, far away from the water veins, right? Is there really a senior living in seclusion here?"

The saying that the water veins of Luohe Prefecture are spiritual veins is of course not just talk. In the inland far away from rivers and lakes, the quality of spiritual land is very worrying, so how could someone live in seclusion here?

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wei is narrow-minded. The rivers on the surface are water veins, so aren't the rivers underground water veins?"

"Underground?" Wei Zhong looked at the mountains and forests flashing by quickly below, wondering in his heart: "Could it be an underground river like in the previous life?"

Soon, Wei Zhong's doubts were answered.

Ling Ziwei brought Wei Zhong to a towering forest.

This place is far away from all the rivers and lakes in Luohe Prefecture, with few cultivators, and even the rugged terrain makes it very rare for mortals to survive here.

Without climbing to the top of the mountain, Ling Ziwei led Wei Zhong into a valley covered with clouds and mist.

The fog here was thick, blocking the sun and making it extremely dark.

And the water vapor was so heavy that when you stepped on the ground, you could feel the fluffy feeling of the fallen leaves.

There was a tingling pain in the center of his eyebrows, and his spiritual sense was warning.

‘Is this dangerous? ’

Wei Zhong almost wanted to pull Ling Ziwei and turn away.

Suddenly, there was a hissing sound from the bushes, and a blood-colored long creature poked out from the fallen leaves and spoke in a human voice:

“You are the girl named Ling, why did you bring a stranger here?”

Wei Zhong looked carefully and found that the one who spoke was a snake as thick as a finger, and it was a skinned snake.

As it raised its head, Wei Zhong could even see the blood-colored muscles wriggling on its body.

"Senior Tan Tai, this is my alchemist friend. I brought him here to help you solve your problems."

When the little snake heard this, there seemed to be a disdainful sound on his bloody face: "Huh? Alchemist, what level?"

Wei Zhong relaxed his brows, and the murderous intent just now had receded.

"Report to the senior, I am a third-level alchemist," Wei Zhong bowed and replied to the little snake.

"Hmph, a little third-level dare to take my task. I think you should not waste your energy, Ling girl, just go back obediently."

After saying this, he wanted to drive the two away, and more skinless animals gradually emerged in the forest, including squirrels, wolves, and lions...

Ling Ziwei became a little anxious when she saw this: "Senior Tan Tai..."

"How do you know that I can't do it if you don't try it," Wei Zhong said.

As early as when they came, the Ling family brothers and sisters told Wei Zhong that this senior had a secret technique of replacing robbery in his hand.

As long as an alchemist helps him refine a pill, he can give this secret technique as a reward.

"Boy, you are so confident," the little snake said, almost putting its head close to Wei Zhong's nose, revealing its fangs.

Wei Zhong had no doubt that this little set of teeth could directly bite his throat.

But the spiritual perception technique did not send a warning, so Wei Zhong said calmly: "Of course, senior, why not give it a try."

The skinless little snake then slowly retreated, and the skinless animals around it also disappeared into the forest.

After hearing a voice of "follow me", Wei Zhong saw the skinless little snake draw a blood line and rush into the forest in front.

Following the direction of its departure, Wei Zhong and Ling Ziwei walked together, and finally came to a courtyard made of thatch and branches.

"Come in," an old voice came from one of them.

Wei Zhong pushed open the gate of the courtyard. The courtyard was quite tidy, with few things placed, only an empty stone table.

With a creak, the door at the back of the courtyard opened and an old man in a shabby appearance walked out.

His hair was half black and half white, and was not tied up, but draped over his shoulders.

His skin was dark, his eyes were slightly sunken, and his face looked a little decadent.

The figure is also very thin, and the hands exposed by the black bunt are like a pair of chicken feet, covered with skin and bones.

He walked out of the door and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Wei Zhong and Wei Zhong did not sit down, but Wei Zhong raised his hand and asked: "I don't know what kind of help senior needs from junior. Please speak up."

He took out a tea set, poured out three cups of tea, and said: "No rush, sit down and drink some tea and chat slowly."

Wei and Zhong had no choice but to sit down opposite him.

"Here, let me have tea," Tantai Lin pushed over a teacup.

Wei Zhong's expression suddenly changed when he saw that the tea in the cup was emerald green, but there seemed to be a small snake wandering at the bottom of the cup.

"Juniors don't like spiritual tea, so... there's no need."

There was a hint of mockery on Tantai Lin's face:

"You ignorant little thing."

Then he picked up the cup in front of Wei Zhong and drank it all in one gulp, with a look of enjoyment on his face, and then spit out a piece of tea leaf.

The tea leaves are curved, like a small snake.

As if Wei Zhong lost his interest, Tantai Lin asked directly:

"What is the level of third-level elixirs? Have you practiced the Haoyuan Dan, Soul-Nursing Dan, and Dust-falling Dan? How many elixirs have been completed? Can they be of the upper-middle level?"

Wei Zhong said frankly:

"Due to lack of materials and no experience in refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill, the Haoyuan Pill has over 50% chance of becoming a pill, with a 30% chance of being of medium quality.

As for the dust-falling pills, the finished pills are over 50% complete, and no mid-grade pills have been produced. "

When Tantai Lin heard Wei Zhong's words, he couldn't help blowing his beard angrily:

"You dare to take on my mission at this level?"

Wei Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at the panel:

[Level 3 Alchemy·Water·Mastery (89%)]

‘My alchemy skills are not far from the master level, so I can’t say it’s bad at all. ’

"Senior, don't be anxious. Let the junior refine a furnace of elixirs in front of the senior to see how good he is."

Without waiting for an answer, Wei Zhong sat down cross-legged in the hollow of the side courtyard, took out the alchemy furnace, and then took out various elixirs. Two of them were the Millennium Xuanming Grass and the Nine-Hearted Fruit that he had just obtained from Ling Hua. .

What Wei Zhong wanted to refine was the Dust Falling Pill.

It was seen that Wei Zhong did not use the pill fire, but threw an ink-colored ball into the pill furnace.

Along with the water spiritual energy emanating from the furnace, Tantai Lin said in surprise:

"Water Alchemy Method?"

Hearing this, Ling Ziwei also stared at Wei Zhong curiously.

Previously, Wei Zhong was just not familiar enough with the refining process of Falling Dust Pill, which resulted in poor output.

But now that he has prepared three elixirs, Wei Zhong is confident.

Five days passed after the operation. Ling Ziwei and Tantai Lin were both curiously guarding the courtyard.

Now that it was time for the pill to be made, Wei Zhong patted the pill furnace and a pill flew out.

Wei Zhong condensed a big spiritual hand, grabbed the elixir in his palm, and then presented it in front of Tantai Lin.

"Senior, please look!"

I saw a Dust Falling Pill in Wei Zhong's palm, but it was not the low-grade one that had been refined before, but the middle-grade one.

"Okay, okay, you're quite capable," Tantai Lin laughed and praised.

Ling Ziwei on the side also looked a little surprised when she saw this, but she knew that Wei Zhong could only refine low-grade dust-falling pills not long ago.

It has only been a few days, but I was able to directly refine the middle-grade product. Could it be that I was hiding something secret from myself?

As if guessing Ling Ziwei's thoughts, Wei Zhongchuan said: "Fairy, please don't misunderstand me. I promise that I have gone all out to refine the elixir for the fairy. It's just that I am a little unfamiliar with the first time making elixirs, so..."

"You don't need to say anything, Fellow Daoist Wei. I believe that Fellow Daoist is not deceiving the people below me just for this small gain."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Tantai Lin on the side was still praising: "Not bad, your boy's water alchemy method is indeed quite good.

If I'm guessing correctly, you said the chance of becoming a pill is over 50%, but it's not 50%, right? "

Wei Zhong was silent, but the other party waved his hand as if it didn't matter:

"Forget it, I won't ask any more questions. Having this little skill can naturally help Pindao.

This is the method I promised to replace the calamity. Let me show you half of it first! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Tantai Lin threw out two jade slips. Wei Zhong picked up one of them and looked at it carefully, frowning.

The description in the jade slip is quite brief, but Wei Zhong already knows some of the principles of this method of calamity.

Rather than saying it is a method of replacing calamity, it is better to say it is a method of incarnation outside the body.

Using the spiritual power of his own flesh and blood to nourish him, he cultivated a blood body, and then cut off part of his spiritual consciousness and blended it into it to form a blood puppet.

The strength of this puppet varies depending on the degree of cultivation. If it is used to replace the calamity, it only needs to be cultivated to the same level as itself...

‘Why does this sound so similar to the Blood Body Technique passed down by True Lord Blood Sea? ’

Seeing Wei Zhong frowning, Tantai Lin added: "My method is not an evil method, but a genuine blood path secret technique from the Eight Classics. It is also a rare item inherited from ancient times."

Wei Zhong frowned even deeper after hearing this.

Ling Ziwei on the side also turned her head in confusion, thinking that Wei Zhong was opposed to this secret method.

But Wei Zhong just shook his head slightly and said: "To be honest, senior, I also saw a similar blood path secret method when I was refining qi.

It's just that it is a completely evil method. It is a body made of other people's blood, called "Blood Body Method".

Decades ago, in Mangyuan Mansion, a few houses away from here, someone used this secret method to kill many monks, causing a bloody storm. "

"What did you say?"

Wei Zhong suddenly saw Tan Tai Lin approaching him, his face showing a bit of chill and surprise.

Wei Zhong had no choice but to repeat: "Junior has seen similar methods, which are inherited from a Yuanying cultivator..."

He told everything he knew about the Blood Body Method.

Tan Tai Lin then sat back down, and then covered his face and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha!"

All kinds of skinless animals appeared on the courtyard wall at the same time, poking their heads out and staring at the people in the courtyard.

'Are these not all his incarnations? '

Wei Zhong suddenly felt a little scared, and Ling Ziwei beside him was trembling with teeth.

"Senior, senior?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but come forward to remind him.

Tan Tai Lin came back to his senses, took his right hand away, and showed his ugly smile.

The chill disappeared at this moment, and the skinless head outside the courtyard was instantly retracted.

'What a terrible momentum, not a Jindan, at least a Yuanying level cultivator. '

"Yes, yes, the information you provided is very valuable, even this information is worth this secret method."

Tan Tai Lin immediately handed over two more jade slips, which recorded the complete method.

"I advise you two not to try to use this method to cultivate an external incarnation, let alone let it exist for a long time.

It is best to cultivate it within half a year before the formation of the pill, and then use it as a substitute for the calamity. If it survives the thunder calamity, take the initiative to kill it completely."

Wei Zhong was a little confused, and Tan Tai Lin added:

"Otherwise you will be like me."

He lifted up his black shirt and exposed his upper body.

What appeared in front of Wei Zhong and the others was a skinny body, with a layer of dark yellow skin wrapped around the bones, and even many places with skin defects, you can peek into its internal organs.

Ling Ziwei saw this horrible look and couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, with disbelief in her eyes.

I never expected that Senior Tan Tai, who has a profound cultivation, would be in such a broken body.

Wei Zhong asked: "Are all those skinless animals in the outside world the incarnations of Senior, and their flesh and blood also come from Senior?"

Tan Tai Lin put on his robe again and nodded:

"You probably guessed it, the cultivation method I practiced is incomplete, so I became so horrible.

The flesh, spirit, and even the consciousness will be shared by the incarnation and cannot be taken back."

"What about this secret method in our hands?" Ling Ziwei asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, this method has been verified by me personally. As long as you don't covet the incarnation technique, there will be no such disadvantages.

I originally asked someone to refine the elixir just to delay my current predicament, but I didn't expect to get the opportunity to eradicate it from you. God will not let me die."

Tan Tai Lin seemed to laugh crazily again.

Wei Zhong asked hurriedly: "Since you believe this, the fragment of the technique held by the Blood Sea True Lord is the fragment of the technique you need?"

"Of course, apart from the famous Blood Venerable Xue Che in ancient times, who else can create such a blood technique."

'Blood Venerable Xue Che? 'Wei Zhong remembered this name in his heart.

"And the guy who claims to be the Blood Sea True Lord has a method of incarnation that is so similar to mine, so he must be right.

After you help me make the elixir, I will go find him. Whether it is exchanged or robbed, I must take back the fragment of the technique to solve the hidden danger of my technique."

'If it is true as the other party said, that he and the Blood Sea True Lord are holding the fragment of the technique of the God Transformation Venerable, then Wei Zhong will not be surprised.

The techniques practiced by the God Transformation Venerable are often magical, and they have outrageous cross-level methods. It is not unreasonable for the other party to hold the secret technique of substitution. ’

“I wish you success!

In addition, what kind of elixir do you want me to refine? Can you please tell me now?”

Tan Tai Lin threw a piece of leather with a recipe written on it.

The name of the elixir is “Guiyuan Dan”.

Wei Zhong read the recipe and frowned more and more. He saw the skinless little snake jumping out at his feet, and then looked up at Tan Tai Lin and asked in disbelief:

“Senior, do you want to use these incarnations to refine elixirs?”
