Chapter 25 Accumulating lifespan and marching into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range
As the signs of the closure of the ‘Qingchuan Secret Realm’ appeared, many cultivators scattered in the secret realm showed unwillingness on their faces.
But no matter what, no one could stop the secret realm from closing. The cultivators scattered in various places were all repelled by the secret realm, and gathered together because of the entrance and exit location anchored by the Qingmu Sect.
The mixed casual cultivators and sect cultivators consciously divided into two teams, and many casual cultivators were still wailing in pain:
"I was almost there, I was almost there to get that spiritual medicine..."
Such complaints are not uncommon. Not everyone can make back the cost of a ticket of 300 spiritual stones.
There were also people whose robes were covered with bloodstains. After the trip to the secret realm, they lost several limbs. They were painfully covering their wounds and staring at the people around them vigilantly.
The entrance to the secret realm behind him began to roll and shrink, emitting terrifying void fluctuations. Zhao Bai watched the passage collapse, and even the formation flag used to stabilize the passage was destroyed, and he sighed helplessly.
The ‘Qingchuan Secret Realm’ is over.
From then on, the Qingmu Sect no longer had the means to enter and exit the secret realm. The resource treasure land was destroyed. If the sect wanted to develop, it had to focus on the outside world, on the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
“The journey to the secret realm has ended. Please leave quickly. If you find precious spiritual medicines, you can register with the disciples of the sect who will stay later, and they will arrange alchemy for you.”
As soon as these words came out, eight cultivators stood up among the casual cultivators. It seemed that these were all people who had gained something in the secret realm.
More than a hundred casual cultivators entered the secret realm, but only a few of them had gained something.
Wei Zhong stood in the crowd and looked at the casual cultivators who were mixed with joy and sorrow.
‘It seems that some people also have a lot of gains, but they are not spiritual medicines, but spiritual beasts, spiritual stones, or simply other cultivators’ things. ’
As the first person left, the remaining cultivators embarked on the road back and left along the mark of the way they came.
Wei Zhong was in the crowd, controlling a flying sword, and did not perform his own flying cloud technique.
It was because Lu Yibin, dressed in white, stayed in the same place after many sect monks left, staring at the group of scattered cultivators who left, not knowing what he was looking for.
Zhao Bai came to Lu Yibin:
"Yibin, what did you get?"
He then retracted his gaze, turned around and bowed: "I have lived up to the trust of the master."
Then he presented a ring.
Zhao Bai grabbed it in his hand, looked into it, and showed an irrepressible joy on his face.
"Okay, okay, you have completed the task very well this time. Think carefully about what reward you want. The sect will not treat you unfairly."
The latter bowed lower:
"The disciple has only one request, please refine all my remaining five first-level flying swords into the second level."
"Okay, okay!"
Forging a second-level flying sword is not a difficult task for Zhao Bai, and what his disciple needs is only an ordinary magic sword of the second-level lower grade, but the specifications are slightly different from the ordinary second-level magic sword, and it needs to be integrated into the paper fan.
For Zhao Bai, these only require some minor adjustments, and it does not take much effort.
Thinking of the upcoming reclamation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, these magic weapons can also enhance his strength, and Zhao Bai is happy to see this.
After Wei Zhong left the Qingmu Sect, he looked a little worried, as if he was recalling the various actions in the secret realm and was worried about missing a certain opportunity.
"Brother, I wonder if there is any gain in the secret realm. Whether it is a spiritual beast or a spiritual medicine, I will give a good price."
However, the casual cultivator next to him came forward and planned to buy the good goods in Wei Zhong's hands.
Wei Zhong thought to himself: I have gained a lot, but you can't afford it.
However, his face revealed regret, and he replied:
"Alas, I am afraid that you will be disappointed."
As he said that, Wei Zhong took out a Yanjiang fruit that he had looted in the secret realm.
"I saw several places with spiritual medicine in the secret realm, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to take them. I only picked these small red fruits with a little spiritual energy. I don't know what they are, and what price you can give."
When the man saw Wei Zhong took out this thing, a trace of contempt flashed across his face.
"Daoyou, this thing is not worth spiritual stones, so keep it for yourself."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left.
Wei Zhong pretended to be sorry and put it into the storage bag, then joined the crowd leaving, walked into the market, and found an empty corner to restore his Chu Zhong appearance.
He stepped on the flying sword and returned to his own courtyard. After entering the courtyard, he took out Jiucai.
There was no room for it to appear in this trip to the secret realm.
Although this courtyard is not big, it seems that it can also be used as an ornamental fish pond. If Dajin can shrink its body, it can also be a companion with Jiucai to protect his own courtyard together.
As for himself, of course, he stayed in the cave to practice.
After sprinkling a spiritual rain on the surrounding spiritual fields and using magic to clean up the pests in the fields, Wei Zhong returned to the small courtyard practice room and came to the treasure of the cave in a flash.
The scale of the cave has expanded a lot after the spiritual mine was collected, and the concentration of spiritual energy has increased to a considerable extent.
Wei Zhong stepped into the practice room and looked at the three objects on the table, and fell into a dilemma.
Should he immediately switch to practicing "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" at this moment?
The proficiency of "Bilang Gong" has reached the master level, and will enter the master level in the near future. The practice speed must be faster than the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" that has not yet been practiced.
I only have eight years to live, and I still need the "Bilang Gong" to increase my lifespan. If I rashly switch to the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art", I might not be able to maintain my current late Qi Refining cultivation for my lifespan.
After thinking for a while, Wei Zhong made a decision.
Don't rush to switch to the cultivation method, continue to practice the "Bilang Gong" first.
At least leave yourself 50 years of lifespan, and then switch to the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art". With this 50 years of lifespan guarantee, you will be a cultivator with a short-term late foundation building combat power.
Enough to be fearless of most of the current threats.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 9 (99%)]
[Kung Fu: Bilang Gong·Master (24%); Health-preserving Gong·Proficient (51%)]
[Taoism: Time Taoism]
[Lifespan: 134/142]
This Time Taoism is indeed different from ordinary Taoism, and there is no progress bar.
It seems that what Bai He said makes some sense. The inheritance of the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art" is not simple.
Thinking of the five elements, could there be other parts such as alchemy and wood refining?
Is the "Time Dao Fa" also incomplete?
Wei Zhong's mind became more active.
But all this is ultimately speculation. Wei Zhong sighed and put down the jade slip of the technique.
Silently chanted in his heart: "Level up twice."
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7 (99%)]
[Lifespan: 114/142]
Then he operated the "Bi Bo Gong", and a wisp of spiritual energy was absorbed and refined into spiritual power in his body. The level of Qi Refining Level 8 was naturally broken by Wei Zhong.
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 8 (1%)]
"Level up again!"
[Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7 (1%)]
[Lifespan: 104/142]
'Well, maintaining the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining level will not reduce my combat power too much. ’
From now on, I will keep jumping back and forth between the seventh, eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining. After accumulating enough lifespan, I will practice until the ninth level of Qi Refining is perfected and then switch to the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Art".
Just as Wei Zhong was immersed in his practice, Qingmu Sect issued an announcement that it would start the development of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range in the east of Mangyuan Prefecture.
Not long after, the vanguard army led by the Lord of the Dharma Hall set out.
This time, the vanguard army was composed of elite disciples from the three halls, and four of them were disciples of the True Transmission.
The second True Transmission Lu Yibin, the fourth True Transmission Lin Muxue, the fifth True Transmission Luo Zhigang, and the newly promoted eighth True Transmission Luo Mingyan.
However, the seventh True Transmission was a pill master and was not in the vanguard this time.
As for the first, third and sixth True Transmissions, there was very little news about them among the cultivators, as if someone deliberately covered it up.
What surprised Wei Zhong was that the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, which was once considered a dangerous place by human cultivators, was easily settled by the Qingmu Sect, and it took only one year to establish a solid foundation.
The various precious cultivation resources brought back from the front were displayed to the casual cultivators without reservation, triggering heated discussions among the casual cultivators.
In the same year, many casual cultivators joined the Qingmu Sect to form the second batch of cultivators, heading straight for the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
