Chapter 44 Luo Mingyan's Visit

Chapter 44 Luo Mingyan's Visit

After a night, Wei Zhong woke up full of energy and couldn't help but sigh that spiritual practice still requires a combination of work and rest.

I always felt like something was missing during my practice over the past few decades, and it turns out that this is what was missing.

"Ling'er, do you still have strength?"

Xie Linghua slapped Wei Zhong's thigh shyly and said angrily:

"Senior, you really tortured Ling'er terribly last night..."

Wei Zhong smiled and took out the Qingluo Zui he brewed:
"This spiritual wine is called Qingluozui. It has some ability to warm the body. You can drink some every day. It will be very good for you."

Xie Linghua replied with some surprise:
"Qingluozui? But it's the Qingluozui sold in the shop under the true teaching of Qingmu Zong."

Wei Zhong touched his nose:

"That's right. Speaking of which, I got this wine recipe from Shen Zhenchuan."

"It turns out that what the Li family said about the master being related to Aoki Soshin is actually true."

Wei Zhong shook his head:

“It’s just a connection of interest.”

While talking, Wei Zhong suddenly caught a glimpse of her white calves, and in excitement he was affectionate with her for a while.

This tenderness lasted for two days.

Afterwards, Wei Zhong sat alone in the practice room feeling somewhat annoyed:
"After all, it's all about food, sex and nature. One woman has caused me to stop practicing for two days. There are so many beautiful women out there. How can this continue?"

Wei Zhong shook his head and looked inward.

The "Health Preserving Exercise" not only healed the injuries to his foundation and replenished his lifespan, but also maintained this body in peak condition.

After two and a half days of nonsense, Wei Zhong was not tired at all. Instead, he felt braver and braver. If Xie Linghua hadn't been unable to hold on, he could have fought again.

"This is really a real way to raise a child."

Wei Zhong condensed a water mirror, in which the image of a middle-aged man was reflected. After building his foundation, Wei Zhong's age was about the same as that of a mortal in his forties, and his appearance looked the same.

The angular face, the pale yellow skin with a hint of whiteness, and especially the pair of deep eyes, seem to be able to read the taste of time from them.

For this face, Wei Zhong could give himself six points, with two points added for his foundation-building skills.

The water mirror broke, and Wei Zhong began to practice.

However, this practice lasted only two months. After receiving the message, Wei Zhong left the cave and found himself in an antique practice room.

Walking out of the training room and reaching the outside world, there is an antique small building behind. This is the new residence that Wei Zhong arranged his men to build during this period. It is located on the node of the second-order intermediate spirit vein, and the concentration of spiritual energy is not weaker than that of the dark cave.

Wei Zhong cupped his hands, looked at the white-robed monk in front of him and said:

"So it's Senior Luo who has come to visit. I'm sorry that I couldn't come to greet you during this critical period of cultivation."

The Taoist in white robe opposite him was Luo Mingyan, the eighth true disciple of Qingmu Sect.

Compared to the high spirits he had when he was promoted to the foundation-building stage, Luo Mingyan's aura was deep and hidden at this moment. His entire state was completely different from when he was just building his foundation.

"Is this, a lesson learned in the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts?"

"Haha, Chu Zhong, you have advanced to the foundation-building stage. It is better for us to treat each other as equals."

"Then I will be thick-skinned and call you Brother Luo, okay?"

"Very good, very good." Wei Zhong immediately arranged for Xie Linghua to set up a table and stools for the two of them, and then put spiritual wine and spiritual food on them, and began to chat about the unique beauty of the Black Lake Island.

"Brother Chu is now able to establish his foundation. If Daoist Chu He knew about this in the afterlife, he would definitely feel comforted."

Luo Mingyan looked at Wei Zhong and said with some emotion.

Wei Zhong didn't know how to complain in his heart, and thought about letting Chu He reappear in the cultivation world in the future to scare him.

"Yes, it's all thanks to my uncle's support, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this day. Now that I've achieved success in my cultivation, I want to repay my uncle, but I don't have the chance anymore..."

Speaking of Chu He's departure, Luo Mingyan was filled with emotion, as he had also witnessed the deaths of too many of his fellow disciples in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.

The Qi-refining cultivators were thrown into this fiery development campaign like insignificant firewood. Even the Foundation-building cultivators could hardly protect themselves. Even as a true disciple, I had faced the crisis of death many times.

Now, after decades of training, I value myself even more, and I consider my life and property much more important than opportunities. I can no longer be as enterprising as before.

“Speaking of which, Brother Chu was able to kill the Taoist Candle with his newly-promoted foundation-building body, which caused a sensation among the cultivators.”

As expected, he came. The fact that he killed Taoist Zhu and became a guest of the Li family had long been publicized by the Li family. Luo Mingyan, as a disciple of the Qingmu Sect, knew about it, and Wei Zhong was not surprised at all.

Wei Zhong showed a little complacency when he heard this:

"No, no, that Taoist Candle was seriously injured, and I just took advantage of his misfortune to get an advantage."

Luo Mingyan shook his head:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, there is no need to underestimate yourself. Previously, the two independent cultivators fought against Taoist Zhu and both ended up in a disgraceful retreat. Now Taoist Zhu has fallen into my hands, which is enough to show that you still have some skills."

Wei Zhong just smiled and said nothing, as if he was already immersed in his boasting.

No one knew the details of the fight between him and Zhu Dao Ren, only the two senior masters could infer something based on the traces of the fight. Due to their noble status, they did not have the time to tell the Qingmu Sect, a small Jindan sect, the details of the inference.

“Brother, you have such ability, so why can’t you go further? Then why don’t you come to my Qingmu Sect to be a guest official to build the foundation?” Luo Mingyan asked with some doubt.

Wei Zhong understood that the other party was truly doubtful, and given his true identity, there was no need for him to come here and force him.

“Alas,” Wei Zhong sighed, “Others may not know, but Brother Luo, don’t you know? With my low-grade spiritual roots, I am lucky to be able to build a foundation, and I dare not even think about the realm I will reach after that.

Rather than practicing for a hundred years in vain, it is better to enjoy the remaining days. Marrying a wife, having children, and creating your own immortal family, isn't this another option?"

Luo Mingyan was silent. As the true disciple of Qingmu Sect, he still had plenty of time and a bright future. He really could not empathize with Wei Zhong's mentality.

But lack of empathy does not mean resistance or conflict.

"Then I wish you a happy family with many wives and concubines."

The two clinked glasses.

"Thank you, Brother Luo, for your kind words."

Luo Mingyan drank the wine in the cup and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Could this be Qingluozui?"

Wei Zhong nodded and said with a smile:
"That's right. I got some inspiration from Fellow Daoist Hu Yang and have improved Qingluo Zui. Unfortunately, it can only reach the peak level of the first level and it is difficult to advance to the second level."

Luo Mingyan shook his head:
"Such a magical wine is already very rare. I didn't expect that Brother Chu's winemaking skills are so superb. He gave the wine recipe to my friend for free. It was really..."

Wei Zhong was puzzled:

"Hmm? Is there some story behind this?"

"Brother, you may not know that my good brother made a lot of spirit stones in the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range with this wine recipe."
