Chapter 95 Breaking into the formation
Chapter 95 Breaking into the formation
"When will Fellow Daoist Wei return?"
Wei Zhong replied: "It could be as short as a few years or as long as several decades."
"What about sister Ling'er?"
"I have prepared a backup plan for her, but her cultivation is still too low to use it. Fairy Ling will still need her help to take care of her in the next few years."
Ling Ziwei nodded.
Wei Zhong's lips moved slightly and he finally spoke: "Also, Fairy Ling, can you wait for me for a few decades? I..."
"willing!"
Before Wei Zhong finished speaking, Ling Ziwei replied with a smile on her face and nodded heavily.
Wei Zhong took the other person's arm, and transformed into a beam of light and disappeared over the Ling family's territory.
Ling Hua below sighed and shook his head helplessly as he watched his sister leave.
In the next few days, Wei Zhong, Xie Linghua and Ling Ziwei traveled around Luohe Prefecture and spent a few wonderful and fulfilling days.
When it was time to say goodbye, Wei Zhong stood beside the two women and gave them gentle instructions.
After saying this, he turned into a green rainbow and left Yunxia Island.
The two of them watched Wei Zhong leave, and a trace of reluctance appeared in their eyes.
A few miles away, a black boat was floating in the air. Wei Zhong flew onto the deck and then stepped into the boat. Inside was Tan Tai Lin, who had been waiting for Wei Zhong for several days.
"Are you enjoying your carefree life?" Tan Tai Lin said calmly.
Wei Zhong bowed and saluted: "Thank you for waiting for me these few days, senior."
The other party waved his hand and motioned Wei Zhong to sit down:
"I also had romantic feelings when I was young, but looking back, these are not as important as the path of cultivation. If you can achieve Nascent Soul in the future, you still have a lot of time."
Wei Zhong replied:
“How dare a junior cultivator who has just entered the Jindan stage dream of reaching the Nascent Soul stage?
Even if I really achieve the Nascent Soul stage as you said, I am afraid that by then no one around me will be around anymore, and I will be alone, with nothing but regrets."
After hearing this, Tan Tai Lin was silent for a moment, then drove the flying boat away into the distance.
"Let's see!"
Wei Zhong took the jade slip handed to him and found that it contained the method of forging spiritual roots that he needed.
At this moment, the two of them set off, and Tan Tai Lin was finally willing to hand over the method to Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong was delighted, so he sat down cross-legged and began to study the secrets of the spell. After a moment, he shifted his attention away from the jade slip, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Wei Zhong's eyes.
The cultivation of the blood spiritual root described in this jade slip is intended to allow cultivators or mortals to condense a large amount of qi and blood, and then use the secret medicine in the secret method to return to the innate state, and then absorb it into the body to form a false spiritual root.
Then through later cultivation, its grade will be continuously improved.
The composition of the secret medicine described therein is very simple, with most of the raw materials being ordinary things, with only one or two being spiritual herbs.
After all, it was a method prepared for mortals and even low-level Qi-refining practitioners, so Wei Zhong was not surprised.
According to records, the success rate of returning to the original state using such low-end secret medicines is no more than half.
If you want to increase the probability, you need to increase the age of the various medicinal materials, and it is best to replace them all with spiritual medicines.
Wei Zhong had no intention of going to the trouble of looking for these elixirs, but instead planned to use the Dust-Reducing Pill.
As a third-grade elixir used by cultivators to form elixirs, its effect of returning to the innate state is naturally much better than this unknown secret medicine.
However, it only records the method of cultivating blood spiritual roots. If Wei Zhong wants to apply it to his own water spiritual roots, he will need to study it carefully for a while.
Wei Zhong thought for a moment and then shifted his attention away from the jade slip.
He bowed to Tan Tai Lin and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Senior."
The latter nodded and said, "How advanced are your alchemy skills now? Are you sure you can make a fourth-level pill?"
Wei Zhong shook his head: "Because ten thousand year old elixirs are rare, I have no experience in refining fourth-level elixirs. However, third-level elixirs of superior quality occasionally appear."
"That's right. Wait until we enter the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range and collect some elixirs for you to refine."
Wei Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect there would be such a benefit. "Thank you, senior."
"There is another room next door. You can go there to practice. With the speed of this fourth-level flying boat, it will take some time to reach Mangyuan Mansion."
After saying this, Tan Tai Lin closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, as if he was practicing some martial arts.
Seeing this, Wei Zhong didn't dare to disturb them and got up and left.
After circling the boat, we discovered that the black-sailed boat flying in the air was only seven meters long and three meters wide.
Traveling through the sea of clouds, a layer of spiritual light outside the boat blocked the oncoming strong wind.
This boat is much smaller than the flying boat used by the Yunji Chamber of Commerce to escort goods, but it is extremely fast, several times faster than Wei Zhong's full-speed flight.
It is worthy of being a Nascent Soul magic weapon.
Wei Zhong found another room. Just as Tan Tai Lin said, there were only two rooms on the boat, one large and one small. The large one was four feet long, while the small one was only a little over ten feet.
Wei Zhong showed no disdain at all and sat down cross-legged on the spot. The spiritual patterns on the back of his hand emerged and wisps of spiritual energy emerged from them.
This is the base point where Dongtian and Wei Zhong connect.
After entering the Jindan stage, Wei Zhong's mastery over the cave heaven was further enhanced.
There is no need to enter the cave anymore. You can guide the spiritual energy inside to the surface of the body or into the body, and then absorb it for practice.
In the next few days, Wei Zhong practiced the Dan-Jie chapter of "The Art of Water Refining in the Spring and Autumn Period". When he was bored, he took out the secret method of spiritual root forging to comprehend it.
In less than four days, the flying boat had arrived at Mangyuan Prefecture and was approaching the territory of Qingmu Sect.
Walking onto the deck, Wei Zhong looked at Tan Tai Lin in front of him and asked:
"How do you plan to get information from the Qingmu Sect?"
Tan Tai Lin did not turn around: "Of course, I will go in and ask directly."
For some reason, Wei Zhong thought of the incident decades ago when the demon Yuanying brought Luo Mingyan directly into the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate.
"Senior, the formation of the Qingmu Sect is not easy to deal with."
Wei Zhong also told him about the incident when Nascent Soul broke through the formation.
"Demon cultivator? Could it be that Cang Mingzi?"
"I don't know either. I only know that the other party seems to have snatched a true disciple from the Qingmu Sect and accepted him as his own disciple," Wei Zhong replied.
Tan Tai Lin nodded: "That must be Cang Ming Zi. I heard that he has a genius disciple who swept away his peers. He probably took it from the Qingmu Sect."
"Senior, do you still want to break through the formation? Who knows, Qingmu Sect may have a few more trump cards over the years," Wei Zhong asked carefully.
Tan Tai Lin laughed and said, "Haha, that Cang Ming kid can break into this formation, so I, an old Taoist priest, naturally cannot fall behind him."
Wei Zhong looked at the wildly laughing Tan Tai Lin and silently felt sad for Qing Mu Zong.
In less than a hundred years, the mountain gate was attacked by two Nascent Soul cultivators. What a misfortune this was for the Jindan sect.
Especially, these two Nascent Souls are likely to have the ability to break through the sect's protective formation in a short period of time.
Wei Zhong looked down and found that the flying boat had already arrived above the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate.
"Boy, you steer the boat. I'll go."
After saying this, Tan Tai Lin leaped off the boat.
Wei Zhong rushed to the side of the boat and looked. As Tan Tai Lin fell, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in the sky above Qingmu Sect.
A green light shield enveloped the mountain gate, and at the same time, nine green dragon heads appeared...
"Who dares to break into the gate of Qingmu Sect?"
An angry roar was heard from the sect's main hall, and a figure in a white robe flew out. It was the new leader of the Qingmu Sect, Yao Zhengsheng.
He glared at the sky, and a black flame was running rampant outside the sect protection formation. He kept taking action to prevent the formation of nine dragon heads.
When Yao Zhengsheng saw the other party's terrifying escape speed, he suddenly felt a little frightened.
“Could it be Yuanying?”
At this time, other Jindan masters gathered around.
"metropolitan!"
Then, as Yao Zhengsheng looked up into the sky, he gradually understood the situation in front of him.
When Zhao Bai, an elder of the sect, saw this scene, he said, "Another Nascent Soul attack on the sect. What kind of master did our Qingmu Sect offend to suffer such disasters repeatedly?"
As soon as he said this, it seemed to bring back bad memories for everyone.
Only one skinny man had a puzzled look on his face. He was Yi Liu, a genius with thunder spirit roots and a disciple of Zhao Bai.
"Master, please give the order. I, an old Taoist priest, will do my best to stop this enemy for the sect," Zhao Bai said with a bow.
Yao Zhengsheng looked at the other party and said, "Palace Master Zhao, there is no need to do this. Now that our master and grandmaster are no longer in the sect, we cultivators do not have much power to fight back against such a Yuanying master.
Even if we rely on the Nine Dragon Sword Formation, it will be useless. Uncle Master should know this clearly, right?"
"So what should we do?"
Yao Zhengsheng looked up into the sky and said calmly, "Remove the sect protection formation. It's only a matter of time before it breaks.
Why not put aside your attitude and ask this senior to discuss in detail? See what the other party needs and we will offer it.
If they are aiming to massacre our Qingmu sect members, then we will fight back."
When everyone heard what he said, they all showed resentment on their faces, and they only hated that they were too weak to drive away the enemy for the sect.
Several miles away, a golden eggshell was placed on the ground, and two monks stood on it.
If Wei Zhong were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the two of them.
The male cultivator is Wei Zhong's old acquaintance, Taoist Hu Yang. He has been in the Jindan stage for more than sixty years, but his cultivation is still in the early stage of Jindan and he has not yet entered the middle stage.
As for the other person, it is Ruan Liuzhen, the owner of the local Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
"Has the Qingmu Sect encountered another Nascent Soul Breakthrough Array?"
Hu Yang had also heard about the incident many years ago when the Qingmu Sect's mountain gate was breached by the Nascent Soul, and he sighed:
"It's probably because one of his disciples offended someone he shouldn't have offended."
In the past few years, the Qingmu Sect has used cruel means to eliminate the evil cultivators within its sphere of influence.
Anyone suspected of colluding with the evil cultivators was killed by the Qingmu Sect. The killings caused by this were even more than during the great calamity between good and evil.
Taoist Hu Yang naturally felt very uncomfortable with this.
Suddenly, the protective formation of Qingmu Sect in front of him was seen flashing with spiritual light, and then suddenly disappeared.
"Is the formation broken?" Hu Yang said.
Ruan Liuzhen beside him shook her head: "No, it's because Qingmu Sect knew they couldn't win and took the initiative to withdraw the formation."
Hu Yang was stunned when he heard this.
······
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
Tan Tai Lin was trying to break the formation when suddenly he saw a flash of light before his eyes and the formation disappeared. Looking down, he found that it was the other party who had taken the initiative to withdraw the formation.
"Please come and talk with me, Senior. If you have any requests, our Qingmu Sect will do its best to meet them."
Hearing the shouting from below, Tan Tai Lin fled downwards with an angry look on his face.
He grabbed the leader's collar with his left hand, and with his right hand, he made two big pouches.
"I tell you to withdraw, I tell you to withdraw..."
Yao Zhengsheng was caught off guard and was grabbed by him. He was immediately startled and saw his right hand slapping towards his face.
He immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and constructed a black spiritual shield on his face.
But this shield couldn't even block a slap from Tan Tai Lin and was directly shattered. The palm fell on Yao Zhengsheng's face, making him dizzy.
The other palm directly slapped him away, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
There is a huge gap between the middle stage of Nascent Soul and the middle stage of Core Formation, and the difference is obvious.
Seeing the sect master in such a miserable state, Yi Liu's eyes were suddenly filled with anger, and he was about to take action to avenge the sect master.
Zhao Bai hurriedly grabbed him, not wanting to let him die.
Yu Xianglan beside him managed to remain calm and saluted:
"Please do not hurt our disciples. If you need anything, please let me know. If Qingmu Sect is able to do so, we will definitely satisfy you."
Tan Tai Lin glanced at him, and seeing the frightened people from the Qingmu Sect nearby, he suddenly felt a little bored.
At this moment, Wei Zhong piloted the flying boat down.
"Senior Tan Tai, why don't you stop here? We might need the help of Qing Mu Zong later."
When everyone looked up, they saw a monk wearing a green robe and a black iron mask on his face standing on the black-sailed boat.
After hearing what Wei Zhong said, Tan Tai Lin also nodded.
With just one word, he persuaded the mysterious Nascent Soul to calm down, and Yu Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Bai stood up and pointed to the hall ahead: "Senior, please follow me."
Tan Tai Lin put away the flying boat, and Wei Zhong landed and followed behind him.
Yu Xianglan moved closer to Wei Zhong and said, "Thank you for your advice just now."
Wei Zhong laughed: "Fellow Daoist, please don't get me wrong. I came here with you, Senior."
Turning his head, he happened to see Yi Liu helping Yao Zhengsheng up. When the other party saw Wei Zhong's gaze turning to him, a trace of hatred suddenly appeared on his face.
Pointing at the other party: "See, this is how hatred should be."
Yu Xianglan looked over and frowned, then whispered something to him.
The latter lowered his head, but his face was still full of reluctance.
Yao Zhengsheng also seemed to wake up at this moment.
After all, he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm with a strong physique, and Tan Tai Lin did not kill him, so the other party was only unconscious for a few breaths.
Seeing Zhao Bai leading the way for the Nascent Soul, he knew that the crisis was temporarily resolved, and then looked at Wei Zhong with doubt.
Yi Liu explained: "This person came with this Yuanying."
Yu Xianglan was worried that Yi Liu's words might contain personal emotions, so she explained the situation to him.
Yao Zhengsheng walked forward and bowed.
"Hello, fellow Taoist. May I know your name?" Yao Zhengsheng asked, looking at the black iron mask on Wei Zhong's face.
Wei Zhong replied calmly: "Sect Master Yao, just call me Tie Zhen."
"Master? You know so much about our Qingmu Sect. Sure enough, these two came prepared."
Yao Zhengsheng's heart trembled.
Wei Zhong glanced at Tan Tai Lin and the other two who had already walked away, and said softly:
"Senior is about to enter the palace, so please don't make him wait anxiously."
Yu Xianglan hurried forward to lead the way: "Daoyou, please!"
