Chapter 91 The Possibility of Spiritual Root Regeneration

Chapter 91 The Possibility of Spiritual Root Regeneration
When Wei Zhong woke up from his coma, he opened his eyes to see a strange ceiling.

His spiritual consciousness spread out and he found himself still in a room in Tan Tai Lin's courtyard.

Wei Zhong struggled to get up and found severe pain in his chest, which seemed to be caused by the friction between his clothes and the damaged skin.

I looked at my hands and found that my palms were a little burnt and some parts were already scabbed.

The person outside the room seemed to have noticed that Wei Zhong had awakened. The door was pushed open and it was Ling Ziwei.

"Daoyou Wei has woken up," he then walked forward and looked at Wei Zhong's exposed hands, smiling, "Daoyou Wei's recovery speed is really fast. It's only been two hours, and the superficial injuries are half healed."

"So I was only unconscious for two hours?"

Wei Zhong raised his hand to his forehead, recalling the last bolt of thunder, and felt a lingering fear.

Then he asked Ling Ziwei, "Did Fairy Ling ever encounter a situation like mine when she was going through the Jindan thunder tribulation?"

Ling Ziwei shook her head: "No, my ninth thunder tribulation was completely borne by the substitute blood body."

Wei Zhong looked puzzled, thinking to himself: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the secret method of substituting robbery given by Tan Tai Lin?"

As if hearing what Wei Zhong was thinking, Tan Tai Lin's voice came from outside the door:

"Wei boy is awake."

When Wei Zhong saw him walk in, he asked curiously, "Senior, do you know why I encountered this situation when I was undergoing the tribulation?"

Tan Tai Lin coughed lightly:
"Let me make it clear in advance that this matter has nothing to do with me. I have never kept any secrets from you about the secret technique I have given you.

If there is no problem with the substitute blood body that you, Wei, refined, then you have to look for the reason in yourself.

"Don't you realize that the Jindan lightning tribulation you encountered is stronger than that of others?"

Wei Zhong nodded.

'I have long discovered that the thunder tribulation I encountered was stronger than that of an ordinary person. Although I have only seen someone else go through a thunder tribulation once, by comparing the two, I can easily see the difference.'

'The first eight thunder tribulations were not very obvious because they were resisted by various means, but the ninth thunder tribulation directly transformed into a thunder dragon, directly destroyed the substitute blood body, and directly attacked his own body, which was very terrifying.'

“In the cultivation world, the intensity of the thunder tribulation encountered by each person will be slightly different, but they are all roughly the same, and are maintained within the range that a Jindan cultivator can barely cope with.

But Wei boy, yours is a little different," Tan Tai Lin said.

Wei Zhong looked up at Ling Ziwei and asked, "How was it when Fairy Ling was overcoming the tribulation that day?"

The latter replied: "The thunder tribulation I encountered was almost the same as yours, but the power was much weaker than that of Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Zhong was stunned, and then turned to look at Tan Tai Lin: "Senior Tan Tai, do you know the reason for the change in the intensity of the thunder tribulation?"

The latter spread out his arms:
"It's nothing more than that those who survive the tribulation have some magical qualities, either extraordinary talents or disliked by heaven and earth. As for which one you belong to, only you know it."

Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes and began to recall.

Seeing this, the two of them left the room, leaving space for Wei Zhong to think.

Wei Zhong's eyes moved slightly and he focused his attention on the panel.

【Name: Wei Zhong】

[Cultivation: Early stage of Jindan (first layer, 1%)]

【Shouyuan: 259/500】

If one successfully breaks through to the Jindan stage, the upper limit of life span will be raised to 500 years. According to Wei Zhong's experience in cultivation, the life span will be increased by several decades after the breakthrough to the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage. By then, the upper limit of life span will reach about 600 years.

However, the lifespan increased by the health-preserving exercises has once again become ineffective.

'Are master-level health-preserving skills ineffective for Dan-forming?'

[Kung Fu: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique·Grandmaster (12%); Health-preserving Kung Fu·Master (96%)]

'I wonder if practicing to the Grandmaster level will increase my lifespan by several decades?'

Looking at the panel shining with white fluorescence, Wei Zhong began to think about the increased power of his thunder tribulation.

Wei Zhongshang didn't understand the reason and could only attribute it to the skills he practiced, the way of time, and the treasured record of time in his sea of ​​consciousness.

First of all, the martial arts method can be temporarily ruled out. Wei Zhong is not the only one who practices this martial arts method. Yao Zhengsheng, the true disciple of Qingmu Sect, is a clear proof of this.

The other is the law of time. Wei Zhong is still unsure about this because the inheritance left by Senior Bai He does not record the increase in the power of thunder tribulation.

It is also possible that Bai He himself is a person of extraordinary talent, and that thunder tribulations are naturally abnormal, but he treats them as normal.

The third one is the Treasure Record of Time.

This magical object has existed in Wei Zhong's sea of ​​consciousness since he crossed over. Although Wei Zhong cannot control it, it suppresses his sea of ​​consciousness and eliminates the possibility of others taking over Wei Zhong's body.

This item also traverses Wei Zhong's status and displays it on the panel in a digitized form. This is a major skill that Wei Zhong has acquired through his practice so far.

In addition, the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" practiced by Wei Zhong also originated from here. Back then in the Qingchuan Secret Realm, it resonated with the black stone engraved with the Taoist magic of time, and this led Wei Zhong into the cave.

It can be said that Wei Zhong’s path of cultivation has undergone great changes since entering the cave.

And all this is thanks to the "Time Treasure Record".

Wei Zhong had long guessed that it might be some special magical weapon related to time, and it was also the reason why Wei Zhong was reborn and traveled here.

He used his own spiritual consciousness to touch the book, but the latter did not move at all.

Wei Zhong was not surprised at all. He had tried it before when he used the Dao of Time to borrow the Jindan cultivator. He thought it was useless because his cultivation was fake.

Now it seems that the Jindan cultivation level has still not reached the starting point for controlling this thing.

"Could it be that this book caused the change in my thunder tribulation?"

Wei Zhong didn’t know, and no one would give Wei Zhong an answer.

Perhaps only by constantly improving your cultivation level will you have a chance to understand the cause and effect.

After much thought without any results, Wei Zhong took a deep breath and began to look inward.

The injuries caused by this thunder tribulation were the most serious Wei Zhong had ever suffered since his practice.

The burnt black skin on the body was just external injuries, which only looked scary, but actually it wouldn't take long to recover. The more serious injuries were internal.

The thunderbolt struck almost all of Wei Zhong's internal organs. Now, they are slowly recovering under the nourishment of spiritual power. It is unknown when they will be fully healed.

In addition, what made Wei Zhong even more sad was that his natal magic weapon was damaged while resisting the thunder tribulation.

Wei Zhong took out the Yuanshui bead, and there was an obvious crack on the dark bead.

As the core of the Black Water Spiritual Robe, it was also implicated when the magic of the spiritual robe was broken, and it bore part of the power of the thunder tribulation.

This life-saving magic weapon needs to be completely repaired before it can be used again, otherwise there is a risk of it being completely damaged.

Wei Zhong suddenly thought of something and took out a large cauldron, which contained the spiritual liquid formed by the Thousand Spirit Water Stone that was not used up when he forged the heavy water spirit body.

Repairing this treasure requires a pure water-based spiritual object. Isn't this spiritual liquid just right?

Apply the spiritual liquid on the Yuanshui beads, and then Wei Zhong uses his own spiritual power to control the spiritual liquid to penetrate into the cracks, gradually filling them up. Then take back the Yuanshui beads and use his own spiritual power to warm them. I believe it won't take long for the Yuanshui beads to recover.

Wei Zhong took out the elixir, swallowed it and began to repair his injuries.

Three days later, the situation improved, so Wei Zhong came out of retreat and resigned from Tan Tai Lin:

"Senior Tan Tai, there are still two years until the agreed date. I need to take care of some important matters before I leave this time."

Tan Tai Lin nodded. He also knew that Wei Zhong owned a spiritual island and had hundreds of people under his command.

He casually threw out a jade slip, Wei Zhong caught it in his hand, then bowed and said goodbye, flying into the air with Ling Ziwei.

"Has Fellow Daoist Wei reached any agreement with Senior Tan Tai?" Ling Ziwei asked curiously.

Wei Zhong nodded: "The senior asked me to go back to Mangyuan Mansion with him after I have achieved Dan formation."

Ling Ziwei thought of the conversation among everyone when they exchanged the secret technique that day, and she immediately understood.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please be careful when it comes to the dispute between Nascent Soul cultivators."

Wei Zhong understood that the other party was concerned about him, and replied:

“Don’t worry, Fairy Ling. I am not such an ignorant and reckless person that I would offend a Yuanying cultivator with my Jindan cultivation.

Senior Tan Tai also knows my importance and will not let me get involved in the struggle between Yuanying cultivators. At most, I will provide clues and help. "

"I'm glad that you understand, Brother Wei. Also, I don't know when your Dan-forming Ceremony will be held, so I can help you prepare a gift."

Wei Zhong smiled and replied, "My injuries have not yet healed, so the ceremony may be postponed for a while. I will then communicate with the fairy and my dear brother."

"Fellow Daoist Wei is right. I will wait for your good news."

The two exchanged a few words and then parted.

Wei Zhong sighed as he watched his departing back. Although he had reached Dan stage now, he still had to work hard on his qualifications. He really couldn't rest for a moment.

After returning to Yunxia Island, Wei Zhong came to Xie Linghua.

When the other party saw Wei Zhong turning around, he exclaimed in surprise: "Master!"

Wei Zhong nodded to him and asked, "Has there been any abnormality on Yunxia Island recently?"

“Master, don’t worry. With Ling’er looking after us and Sister Ling taking care of us, Yunxia Island is running smoothly.

But after the master left that day, many monks came to the door and said they wanted to enter the island to find a job. Ling'er was worried that they had bad intentions, and the island had enough people, so she rejected them all. "

"Well done. In the future, please recruit fewer people from the island. No matter how many people there are, Yunxia Island cannot support them with its size."

Xie Linghua nodded repeatedly. After she finished explaining the matter of Lingdao, she raised her head cautiously and asked:
"Master, have you been in seclusion for many years?"

"Of course it worked," Wei Zhong said with a smile, showing off his Jindan cultivation.

Xie Linghua felt the pressure that far exceeded that of the foundation-building stage, and she was suddenly so excited that she could hardly control herself.

He put his arms around Wei Zhong's waist, and Wei Zhong happily hugged him.

"I don't know when the master's Dan-forming ceremony will be held. Ling'er will prepare for it now."

Wei Zhong stroked the man's hair and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late once I consolidate my cultivation."

After spending a few moments with Xie Linghua, Wei Zhong returned to the cave and sat cross-legged.

Then he took out the jade slip given by Tan Tai Lin and read it carefully.

There was not much recorded in the jade slip, and it didn't take Wei Zhong long to read it all.

Then he sighed. What was recorded in the jade slip was not the method of recreating his spiritual roots, but an overview of it.

Perhaps it was because Wei Zhong had just formed his elixir, and Tan Tai Lin was worried that Wei Zhong would go back on his word, so he did not hand over the complete method, but instead intercepted a few words to whet Wei Zhong's appetite.

The content describes that the "Blood Spirit Sutra" has a supporting secret technique that can use the human body's qi and blood to recreate a blood spirit root.

In Wei Zhong's opinion, this method is not prepared for ordinary people, but is effective for those mortals who practice martial arts or those who practice physical cultivation in the world.

It describes how people can strengthen their own Qi and blood to reach the basic standard of condensing blood spiritual roots, and then use special spiritual objects to successfully refine blood spiritual roots according to the methods recorded in the secret technique.

The records in the jade slip were somewhat rough, and there was no specific mention of the most important secret technique.

Tan Tai Lin was really cautious in guarding against Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong was helpless. After reading the whole article, he learned very little information. He only knew that the blood spirit root was forged using rich qi and blood as the foundation.

"Rich blood can create blood spiritual roots, so can't rich water spiritual energy create water spiritual roots?"

Wei Zhong took out the Yuan Shui bead, which was a highly concentrated form of water spiritual power supplemented by special spiritual materials.

"Refine water, refine water, how come this is so similar to the characteristics of the Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art.

The reason why the water spiritual power formed by Wei Zhong's practice of this technique has the characteristic of being "heavy" is precisely because of the compression of the spiritual power.

The Yuan Shui Zhu, his recorded natal magic weapon, is even better, as it is made of extremely compressed water spiritual energy.

Could it be that this "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" is still missing a secret method to refine magic weapons into spiritual roots?"

Wei Zhong couldn't help but become suspicious, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high.

'Perhaps Senior Bai He also obtained an incomplete method. After all, this method was obtained by chance.'

'It seems that the secret method in Tan Tai Lin's hand is indispensable. Even if it is not the method of forging spiritual roots that comes with the Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art, it can still inspire me. Maybe based on this, I can come up with a suitable method of forging spiritual roots.'

Wei Zhong's eyes flickered.

"In this case, we can't stay on this spiritual island for long."

After taking out the elixir, Wei Zhong began to heal his wounds. He had to repair his injuries as quickly as possible and then set off with Tan Tai Lin.

Half a year later, Wei Zhong ordered Xie Linghua to release the news that she had achieved the state of Dan.

This immediately caused an uproar in Luohe Prefecture.

In the market town, cultivators were all discussing Wei Zhong's Dan-forming event, which was even more serious than the disturbance caused by the Ling brothers and sisters' Dan-forming event.

This is because Wei Zhong is not just a simple cultivator, but also has the skills of third-level alchemy and third-level weapon refining.

This means that within two to three hundred years, Luohe Prefecture will have a third-rank master who is proficient in both alchemy and weapons, and that master will be Wei Zhong, who is quite famous among the independent cultivators.

He does not belong to any sect or family faction and can be described as an orthodox grassroots cultivator who has achieved the Jindan stage.

At first, many monks were still questioning the authenticity of the news.

Many people believe that Wei Zhong was obsessed with the art of alchemy and only advanced to the middle stage of foundation building more than fifty years ago. How could he have reached the perfect stage of foundation building in just a few decades and then succeeded in forming a pill?

However, this voice was dispelled after Yunxia Island sent invitations to the Jindan Ceremony to various forces.
