Chapter 94 Intelligence
During the banquet, the various magic tricks performed by Wei Zhong shocked everyone.

Most of the people who had reached the Jindan stage present had never expected that Wei Zhong, who had just reached the Jindan stage less than a year ago, actually had such strong spiritual power in his body.

Ling Hua even said bluntly at the banquet that he was defeated by Wei Zhong, which caused an uproar.

"Wei Zhong, who is famous for refining medicine and weapons, actually has such terrifying fighting skills," everyone looked at Wei Zhong, unable to hide their shock.

"Brother Ling, you are joking. We were just sparring that day. Brother Ling was concerned about his own robes and magic tools, so he didn't use his full strength.

If it was a real fight, I would have been defeated by Brother Ling long ago."

The two of them flattered each other about their business, leaving all the unsuspecting Jindan masters present stunned.

Wei Zhong turned his head and looked to the side. He saw Tan Tai Lin talking to Xu Xuan about something. It seemed that the two of them had known each other for a long time.

······
The banquet was enjoyed by both the guests and the hosts.

After the ceremony, Wei Zhong saw off all the Jindan cultivators and returned to the pavilion on the cliff.

Tan Tai Lin was drinking in the pavilion. When he saw Wei Zhong coming, he directly threw a jade slip to him. Wei Zhong thought it was the secret method of forging spiritual roots that he had promised.

He took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and found that it was information about Mangyuan Prefecture.

After reading through them all, Wei Zhong showed a hint of emotion.

"It turns out that the battle between good and evil has ended long ago!"

Wei Zhong left Mangyuan Mansion in order to avoid the disaster caused by the demon cultivators, and two years later after Wei Zhong left.

The number of demon cultivators coming to Mangyuan Mansion suddenly increased, and there were countless demon cultivators from Qi Refining to Dan Formation.

For a time, the number of their disciples exceeded that of the monks in the Qingmu Sect, causing the Qingmu Sect to become flustered.

In order to fight against the demonic cultivators, they had to rally the surrounding foundation-building and even Qi-refining cultivating families to fight against the demons together.

Many weak immortal cultivation families disappeared forever in the clash between good and evil, while some immortal cultivation families were afraid of the power of the evil cultivators and led their clans to join the evil cultivators.

The Qingmu Sect had been fighting against the demon cultivators for more than thirty years. But the strange thing was that during this period, no Nascent Soul cultivators had ever been defeated, and the highest level was only a contest between Jindan cultivators.

After thirty years of fighting between the two, most of the demon cultivators suddenly began to withdraw from Mangyuan Prefecture, leaving only a small number of people to stay and infiltrate the cultivation world of Mangyuan Prefecture.

At this point, the "battle between good and evil" in Mangyuan Prefecture came to an end.

Over the years, the Qingmu Sect had suffered heavy losses in its fight against the demonic cultivators. The loss was even more tragic than when they had conquered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

Dozens of the sect's foundation-building elders and deacons died. Even the sect's Dan Palace master Duan Delong was severely injured by the evil cultivators and passed away ten years ago.

Aoki Zong's true disciples also suffered losses.

The second true disciple, Lu Yibin, had his foundation damaged by the evil magic of the demon cultivator and lost the opportunity to form a pill. Now he can only linger in the sect and waste the rest of his life.

The fifth true disciple, Luo Zhigang, was ambushed during an operation and died instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a few decades passed, and among the eight true disciples under Qingmu Sect, two and a half were gone, including Luo Mingyan who joined the Demon Sect.

When someone loses power, someone else gains power.

During the struggle between good and evil, the young master Yao Zhengsheng successfully broke through to the middle stage of Jindan and took over the position of the head of the sect.

The former sect leader Nie Yuansen stepped back and handed over all sect affairs to Yao Zhengsheng.

In addition, Yu Xianglan, the master of the Dharma Hall, also broke through to the middle stage of the Jindan realm.

The other master of the Weapon Hall, Zhao Bai, was stuck in the early stage of the Core Formation. Instead, his disciple, the sixth true disciple Yi Liu, who possessed a different kind of thunder spiritual root, surpassed him and advanced to the early stage of the Core Formation physical cultivation.

“I didn’t expect the changes would be so great!”

Wei Zhong felt emotional. As the local boss of Mangyuan Prefecture, Qingmu Sect can be said to have initially completed the replacement of the old with the new generation.

After browsing all the information, Wei Zhong noticed that there was a striking sign of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce at the end of the jade slip.

"Senior Tan Tai, could this information come from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce?"

The other party nodded: "The business of Yunji Chamber of Commerce is spread all over the world, so naturally they have the most sufficient intelligence from various prefectures."

Wei Zhong continued to ask: "As a guest official, I naturally know this. What makes me curious is that it seems that only people within the Chamber of Commerce, such as guest officials, have the opportunity to obtain this information, right?"

Tan Tai Lin threw out a jade token nonchalantly: "Isn't it just a guest token? I also have one in my hand."

Seeing Wei Zhong's strange expression, he continued to explain:
"The business of Yunji Chamber of Commerce is so big that besides people like you who have special skills, it also needs powerful independent cultivators like me.

I got this plaque when I was in the Dan stage."

Wei Zhong recalled a person like Sikong Changming, who was also not proficient in any skills but only had the ability to fight. He was still responsible for escorting spiritual objects between the various mansions of the Chamber of Commerce. It seemed that what Tan Tai Lin said was correct.

"What do you think after reading this information?" Tan Tai Lin asked Wei Zhongdao.

Wei Zhong shook his head:

"The intelligence was too sketchy. It only described the struggle between the Qingmu Sect and the demon cultivators, but many details were incomplete. It did not mention blood cultivators like True Lord Xuehai.

If you really want to find the remaining half of the technique, you still need to look for information about the bloody rebellion that happened back then, especially information about Hanzhu City where Mangyuan Prefecture is located, or Yunjiang Prefecture next door."

Tan Tai Lin nodded:
"It's not that I don't want to find it, but the information about that incident was not mentioned even in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Zhong found it a little strange. Miaoli Shan, a Nascent Soul cultivator and a member of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, could be said to be an eyewitness to this incident, and Shan Qin, who was inseparable from him, must have been involved in this matter as well.

How could the Yunji Chamber of Commerce know nothing about this, unless someone deliberately blocked the news.

"Could it be that because it involves a Divine Transformation cultivator, this information is not sold to the outside world?"

The more Wei Zhong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Senior, where do you think the Blood Sea Master will flee to after being exposed?"

Tan Tai Lin stroked the wine glass:

"If I were him, I would probably have fled to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, or even gone to the Demon Cultivation Territory across the way."

Wei Zhong was puzzled: "Is it impossible to go deep into the heart of Yunzhou?"

Tan Tai Lin shook his head: "You don't know enough about the Blood Spirit Scripture. If you have been using your own blood to practice, it's fine. But if you are stained with the blood of others, there will be no way back.

Since it can cause chaos among the blood cultivators, it will naturally not give up and find a place to practice peacefully and restore its strength, but will go to a place with more high-level cultivators or monsters. "

Wei Zhong nodded. Since he had brought up the martial arts he had practiced, it was difficult for Wei Zhong to refute.

"Then we should go to Qingmu Sect to test the waters first, and then go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. If we still haven't found any trace of him, we should go to Fengzhou where the demon cultivator is."

Tan Tai Lin finalized the itinerary in a few words, leaving no chance for Wei Zhong to refuse, and continued.

"Now that the Jindan Ceremony has been held, when do you plan to leave with me?"

Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment and replied, "Half a month later."

"Okay, then I'll come back to find you in half a month." After saying this, Tan Tai turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

Wei Zhong sighed and sat down in the pavilion.

A big golden fish jumped out from the stream, it was Dajin.

There was a light blue spiritual fruit in its mouth, which seemed to have been picked from the water.

He opened his mouth, put down the spiritual fruit, and then moved back to Yunxi. 'I have to take all these spiritual pets with me when I go out this time.

Judging from Tan Tai Lin's attitude this time, he will not stop until he finds True Lord Xue Hai. And no one knows where the latter has fled to, so I'm afraid it will take a long time for the two of us to find him.

The two beasts, Dajin and Jiucai, have great potential. They cannot be wasted on this spiritual island. They have to go out with me to look for opportunities.

Especially on this trip to the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, there might be an opportunity for them to advance.'

As for Jin Mei, Wei Zhong originally considered whether to leave her on the island to protect Xie Linghua's safety, but then he remembered that Wanyan Fu had already known Jin Mei's appearance.

If the news of Jin Mei's appearance were to be leaked, it would probably cause even greater trouble.

Therefore, Wei Zhong decided to take it with him.

Wei Zhong sat alone in the pavilion. Xie Linghua, who had dealt with the aftermath of the ceremony, came here.

Wei Zhong took the other person's hands, held them in his arms, and asked:

"How did things go?"

The latter replied softly: "Most of the visiting guests have left, and only a small number of people remain. Most of them are from the surrounding foundation-building families, and they seem to want to talk to the master about something."

Wei Zhong shook his head. He knew very well what these families were thinking. They just wanted to cling to Wei Zhong's thigh so that the family could live more comfortably in the future.

"Don't worry about it, just send him away."

"Okay, Master. Ling'er will take care of it right away."

Wei Zhong grabbed his hand and said, "It's just a small matter. I'll let Hu Zongfu do it."

Seeing Wei Zhong hugging her vigorously, Xie Linghua showed a trace of shame on her face.

Three days later, Wei Zhong left Yunxia Island.

During these three days, Wei Zhong got along well with him and also told him that he would be going on a long journey and could not take him with him.

Although the other party looked disappointed, he still expressed understanding for Wei Zhong's choice.

'Now, we need to find a way to protect him.'

Wei Zhong stepped into the green boat and headed straight for Yuelan City.

In the inner room on the second floor of Yunji Tower, Wei Zhong saw Xu Xuan sitting opposite him and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Xuxuan, are the things I need ready?"

"I have already prepared it for you, and I am just waiting for you to come and get it."

The other party waved his sleeves, and a square wooden box appeared on the table. Wei Zhong opened it and found a milky white third-level demon pill and a jade slip inside.

The jade slip records the method of making fake elixir.

This is the self-defense technique Wei Zhong prepared for Xie Linghua.

A cultivator at the peak of the foundation-building stage can take in a third-order demon pill and refine it into a fake pill in his body, thus becoming a fake pill cultivator with the power to form a pill.

Although the spiritual power of this fake Dan cultivator is crude and insignificant in front of a real Jindan cultivator, it is a dimensionality reduction blow to a foundation-building cultivator.

Many impoverished Jindan families, after losing their only Jindan cultivator, would often use this method to prolong the life of the family so as not to fall into the foundation-building stage.

"This demon pill was taken from a third-level white jade snake. The spiritual power within it is very gentle. Even a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building can use this method to refine it into his body and become a fake pill cultivator."

Wei Zhong nodded, picked up the jade slip and browsed the information in it. Finding no obvious errors or omissions, he handed over his guest token.

Xu Xuan swiped his hand and immediately two thousand contribution points were removed from the token.

The prices of these two items are surprisingly almost the same as the prices of most of the Nascent Soul Technique.

A trace of pain appeared on Wei Zhong's face.

Perhaps the price of an ordinary third-level demon pill would not be so outrageous, but this demon pill and the method of making it are extremely special.

Xie Linghua's aptitude is average, and it is very difficult for her to cultivate to the foundation-building stage. It is unknown how long it will take for her to reach the peak of the foundation-building stage and then refine the demon pill.

It would be better to let him refine this pill after breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building to gain the power to protect himself.

The other party has followed Wei Zhong wholeheartedly for a hundred years, so Wei Zhong is willing to give him this little thing.

Wei Zhong then took out a storage bag, held a piece of paper and said to Xu Xuan: "I would like to trouble Daoist Fellow Xu Xuan to prepare some of these items for me."

Xu Xuan took the paper, which was filled with all kinds of spiritual objects that Wei Zhong needed. Then he probed his spiritual sense into the storage bag and was immediately dazzled by the spiritual stones inside.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, please wait a moment. I will personally pick up the goods for you."

The number of spirit stones involved was so large that Xu Xuan didn't even dare to let his subordinates take over.

Wei Zhong drank his tea and waited for a while before Xu Xuan finally arrived with a large amount of spiritual materials.

After the two parties settled the payment and goods, Wei Zhong bowed and said goodbye, then went to Fuzhou Island.

When Wei Zhong arrived, someone was already waiting outside.

"Meet Senior Wei!"

The person was Zhu Shen, who bowed to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong lifted him up with a burst of spiritual power: "You are welcome, fellow Daoist Zhu."

Then he stepped into the Ling family's territory with him.

Zhu Shen accepted the Ling family's recruitment at this moment, but he was only a second-level alchemist. For the Ling family, it was not enough to replace Wei Zhong, so the third-level master Wei Zhong was needed.

He took Wei Zhong into the alchemy room specially prepared by the Ling family. The two of them stayed in seclusion for three days, and Wei Zhong taught him everything he had learned.

Three days later, Wei Zhong left, leaving him alone beside the alchemy furnace, thinking hard.

Seeing Wei Zhong coming out of retreat, Ling Hua asked uncertainly:

"Friend Wei, is this done?"

Wei Zhong smiled and replied: "It will probably take some time. Zhu Shen was not far from the third level to begin with. After my guidance, he has stepped onto the threshold of the third level.

As for whether it can be stable in the future, it depends on the Ling family."

Alchemy is never something that is thought out, but rather requires a large number of spiritual objects to refine. Ling Hua also understands this principle.

"Sorry to bother you, Brother Wei!"

Wei Zhong shook his head and asked, "Where is Fairy Ling?"

"My sister went to get the golden thunder bamboo for you."

This was a deal Wei Zhong made with the Ling family, teaching Zhu Shen to break through to the level of a third-rank alchemist in exchange for a few golden thunder bamboos.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ziwei turned around and handed a storage bag to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong took it and checked it with his spiritual sense, then said with a smile: "Thank you, Fairy Ling."

Seeing the sparkle in their eyes, Ling Hua took the initiative to withdraw: "There are still some family affairs to deal with, Brother Wei, I will take my leave first."
