Chapter 10: Settled in Qingmu Sect, inheritance turmoil
Luo Mingyan really kept his word and took Wei Zhong to Qingmu Sect for a day.
This was Wei Zhong's first long journey since his time travel. Sitting on Luo Mingyan's flying magic weapon, he felt a bit novel.
There is no way. There is no such flying magic weapon among the magic weapons stored by the predecessor. The best I can do is use the magic sword to fly at low altitude.
It is impossible to fly in the air in a small boat like this.
"How rich!"
Wei Zhong sighed, saying that with this kind of magical weapon even escaping would be much easier, he was worthy of being a cultivator of the sect.
Luo Mingyan had no idea what Wei Zhong was thinking. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the hold of the boat, practicing his internal energy.
"He is diligent."
Wei Zhong had known him for many years and learned that he was also a casual cultivator and his father had farmed in Qingmu Sect for several years.
Because of Luo Mingyan's outstanding qualifications, he was admitted to the outer sect of Qingmu Sect. In recent years, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and he was successfully promoted to an inner sect disciple.
Next, as long as you succeed in building the foundation, you will definitely be able to inherit the true teachings.
Unfortunately, there were dozens if not hundreds of cultivators like Luo Mingyan, most of whom were stuck at the bottleneck of foundation building.
Even if one has a foundation-building pill, one would not dare to build the foundation rashly. After all, the consequences of failure in foundation-building are not something that everyone can bear.
A day later, the two settled in a market outside Qingmu Sect.
Mingyuefang Market,
This market town was quite prosperous, with many cultivators coming and going. Wei Zhong even saw one or two foundation-building cultivators.
"This is the most prosperous market in Qingmu Sect. Not only are there many independent cultivators, but cultivators from the sect also come here to trade. There are many masters coming and going. You must be careful not to offend others easily."
"I understand!"
Afterwards, Luo Mingyan led him to a pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, he greeted the deacon warmly:
"Uncle Ning, long time no see."
"It's Mingyan. How come you have time to come here?"
"Haha, isn't this something that needs Uncle Ning's help? But there is still some vacant spiritual farmland. I have a friend who wants to find a job as a spiritual farmer here."
The deacon glanced at Wei Zhong:
"This spiritual field is very popular."
Wei Zhong understood that this was a request for benefits, so he pretended to feel pain and took out twenty spirit stones from his pocket without using a storage bag. He just handed them to the man.
Deacon Ning took it with a wave of his right hand.
"It just so happens that a spiritual farmer has been away for five months recently, and he probably died outside. There is no one to take care of the more than ten acres of spiritual fields. How about you take over?"
Wei Zhong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Deacon Ning."
The two of them quickly finalized the matter of the spiritual field and gave Wei Zhong a sign, which was the certificate of Wei Zhong's spiritual field.
"I promised you this job for Mingyan's sake. Fellow Daoist, please be careful. If I don't see you for three months, I will take back your spiritual fields. Fellow Daoist, please don't forget the days when you practice."
"I understand."
"Then it's settled. It's time for me to leave."
"Rober, take care."
After Luo Mingyan left, Deacon Ning led Wei Zhong to a field ridge and pointed at the surrounding spiritual fields and said:
"The sixteen spiritual fields here are yours. Know the boundaries and don't cross them. Pay the rent on time every year. As long as you don't do anything to damage the spiritual fields, you can do whatever you want."
"And that small courtyard over there is also yours..."
"Thank you, Deacon Ning."
Looking at his leaving back, Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, finally settling down.
When I stepped into the courtyard, I found that it was overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Release the nine colors in the spirit beast bag and place them on the branches in the yard.
"From now on, you will be the one looking after the house." Wei Zhong ruffled its feathers.
At this moment, Jiucai is already a first-order intermediate demon beast, which is equivalent to a cultivator in the intermediate stage of Qi Refining. Many years ago, Wei Zhong obtained a method of making a spirit-feeding pill by chance.
With this help, Jiucai not only successfully consolidated his position as a spiritual beast, but also made breakthroughs one after another, reaching the threshold of the middle first stage a few months ago.
Wei Zhong guessed that this bird probably had the blood of some special monster. It was self-taught and even had the skill of wind blade.
It is no problem to deal with ordinary cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining.
After tidying up the courtyard, Wei Zhong went to check the spiritual field.
As expected of the Qingmu Sect, even the spiritual fields in the outside world are stronger than those of the Yan family.
The Qingmu Sect possesses a third-level spiritual vein, which is much stronger than the Yan family's second-level spiritual vein. The spiritual energy in the spiritual fields is naturally richer, so the annual output of spiritual rice will also increase.
After planting spiritual grains and casting several spells, Wei Zhong returned to his own courtyard.
The spiritual field is just an external thing, what is important is one's own cultivation.
【Name: Wei Zhong】
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 5 (%)]
[Kung Fu: Bilang Kung·Mastery (99%); Yangsheng Kung·Introduction (87%)]
【Shouyuan: 134/137】
Wei Zhong had never slacked off during these seven years, and had successfully reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. However, his progress in the "Bilang Gong" and "Yangsheng Gong" was quite impressive.
The Bilanggong was stuck at 99% proficiency and could not make any progress, as if it had reached a bottleneck. However, the Yangshenggong was getting slower and slower after passing the 50% barrier. The progress in seven years was not as good as that in four years.
I only have three years left to live, so I might as well practice on the ninth level of Qi Refining. Perhaps I will be able to break through the bottleneck of "Bilang Gong".
Although it is only a mid-grade yellow-level technique, Wei Zhong will have no way forward when he reaches the middle stage of foundation building.
But Wei Zhong has no intention of changing his martial arts technique now.
The main reason is that the current proficiency of Bilang Gong is high enough, and the speed of practice is comparable to that of Xuan-level exercises.
It has become Wei Zhong's best choice to level up and save his life.
His current life span is still on the dangerous line. If he switches to other skills, Wei Zhong is worried that he will not live for more than a few years.
In the following year, Wei Zhong cultivated the land and practiced at the same time. Except for occasionally going to the market to exchange some cultivation resources and showing up at the place of Deacon Ning, he lived a secluded life.
"Brother Chu, do you know about the inheritance of the True Lord?"
"Brother Ning, are you talking about the inheritance of the True Lord of the Sea of Blood that is so widely circulated in the market?"
The two men sat across from each other at a table, on which was a snack made from a spiritual beast that Wei Zhong had hunted. The two men clinked glasses and chatted with each other. It was the first-grade spiritual wine that Wei Zhong had learned how to brew these days, which he made using spiritual rice and small mountain fruits.
Wei Zhong discovered that he was not only gifted in magic, but also good in other skills.
[First-level Spiritual Wine Brewing·Proficient (42%)]
Therefore, Wei Zhongdu tried to consider learning the method of alchemy. If it weren't for the lack of inheritance, he would have started long ago.
"That's right. It's the inheritance of the True Lord. It's hard for us to even build a foundation, let alone form a Dan Yuanying. This matter has recently caused unrest in the neighboring Hanzhu City."
Wei Zhong was shocked and immediately felt that he had foresight in choosing to come to Qingmu Sect instead of Hanzhu City where many independent cultivators gathered.
"I don't know where the news came from, but a group of cultivators holding the secret key of inheritance will pass through Hanzhu City and go to Yunjiang Mansion to receive the inheritance. This attracted a large number of cultivators, causing a great impact on the public security of Hanzhu City. Even the Jindan cultivator, Master Kuzhu, came out of seclusion to suppress the situation."
"Could it be that Jindan cultivators are also interested in this?"
"Who knows?"
