Chapter 139: Spiritual Ascension

[Level 4 Alchemy·Fire·Mastery (21%)]

Compared with the previous 3% progress when promoted to the fourth level, it seems that there is not much improvement, but the actual level of proficiency has surpassed that of ordinary alchemists.

When Wei Zhong is at the third level, he can occasionally refine middle-grade elixirs if he is proficient, and four or five of low-grade elixirs can be produced in a furnace.

Nowadays, it is just that there are few people refining Blood Shen Dan and Di Xuan Dan, and they are not familiar with the elixir recipes, which leads to a high failure rate.

Now that Shan Qin has invested in elixirs, Wei Zhong is confident that he can turn them all into fourth-level elixirs within a few years, and the number will be far from just twenty.

While talking with the two of them, Shan Qin suddenly said:

"Now fellow Taoist Wei has been promoted to the fourth level alchemy master. Although the identity of the fellow Taoist has not been announced in the meeting, everyone knows that a new fourth level alchemy master has appeared.

In the future, someone may contact fellow Taoist through the token and ask him to make elixirs. Fellow Daoist Wei must do what he can. "

Wei Zhong understood that Shan Qin was telling him to stop wandering after being promoted to the fourth level alchemy master, so as not to offend the master by making other people's elixirs bad.

Even if the identity is kept secret, it may be revealed in the future.

Wei Zhong nodded in agreement.

After the two women finished explaining the important things, they said goodbye and left.

Wei Zhong watched the two of them go away, and then Ling Ziwei appeared.

As early as the arrival of the two girls Shan Qin, as the formation host, she was aware of it, but she did not show up.

Now that Shan Qin and the two left, she walked behind Wei Zhong and sighed:

"My husband's status is very different now!"

Wei Zhong turned around with a slight smile on his face, and raised his hand to brush away the black hair on Ling Ziwei's forehead.

"What's the difference? Isn't he still your husband?"

The latter's face turned red when Wei Zhong teased him.

"I didn't tell others about my advancement in alchemy, right?"

Ling Ziwei grabbed Wei Zhong's right hand:

"Ziwei knows how cautious her husband is, so how dare she speak nonsense."

"That's good. This identity may have to be hidden for hundreds of years in the future, and it won't be revealed until the Nascent Soul is condensed."

Wei Zhong looked thoughtful.

Ling Ziwei leaned close to Wei Zhong's chest, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly:

"Husband, sister Ling'er has just advanced to the middle stage of foundation building and is currently consolidating her cultivation in the training room."

Wei Zhong looked serious: "Finally made the cut!"

······

A hundred miles away from Qingbo Island, a white cloud floated in the sky, fleeing into the distance at a terrifying speed.

If you look closely, you will see that this is not a cloud. It is clearly a smoke formed by condensed spiritual power, and the source is the pipe on Miaoli Shan's waist.

"Sure enough, as Grandpa Jie said, Wei Zhong doesn't want to submit to us," Shan Qin showed a wry smile, "Even my wishes are not willing to be accepted."

Miaoli Shan looked at Shan Qin and shook his head:

"Perhaps the value of the things I took out was too expensive, and I became wary for a while, so I shied away."

"Thanks to Aunt Miao for coming up with the idea. Now Wei Zhong and I are considered close partners. If we ask for anything in the future, the other party will probably not refuse."

Miaoli Shan nodded:

"But I think this trick is not as good as the token you gave me. Wei Zhong is very cautious. I am afraid that he values ​​​​the token that can both conceal his identity and trade with others."

Shan Qin thought about it for a while and had the same idea.

"Wei Zhong doesn't want to reveal his identity as a fourth-level alchemist, so we must keep it secret to prevent those villains from stumbling upon him."

"Besides you and me, the only people who know about this are Xu Xuan from the local Yunji Building. We still need to take some action."

Speaking of this, Yanyun changed direction and headed straight for Yuelan City.

There are countless ways to detect information in the world of cultivation, and foundation-building monks like Xu Xuan have become the biggest breakthrough point.

Whether they make him take an oath or simply erase his relevant memories, Shan Qin and the two must prevent the possibility of information leaking from here.

Qingbo Island,

Wei Zhong checked Xie Linghua's cultivation, then nodded and said:

"Yes, my energy and spirit are perfect, and my cultivation is not as frivolous as trying to encourage growth. The improvement is quite stable."

Hearing Wei Zhong's praise, Xie Linghua's face was filled with joy.

Ling Ziwei on the side joked:

"It's natural to practice with the high-grade Heqi pill given by your husband. Have I never enjoyed this kind of treatment?"

While talking, he stretched out his hand to touch Xie Linghua's waist, teasing the other party to laugh again and again.

Wei Zhong also smiled when he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Okay, Linghua, will you show me your natal aura?"

The two girls stopped playing around, Xie Linghua closed her eyes slightly and said goodbye, and a cloud of energy spread around the whole courtyard in an instant.

Wei Zhong probed with his spiritual consciousness and found that the cloud's ability to obscure his spiritual consciousness had been strengthened to a certain extent.

It seems that while the other party's cultivation level has improved, he has not neglected to cultivate it.

"Don't resist!"

After saying this, Wei Zhong condensed a ball of spiritual power into his hand and grabbed all the cloud energy into his hand, forming a ball with a diameter of less than half a foot.

The condensed clouds formed a floc, and there seemed to be spiritual water flowing in the middle.

Wei Zhong waved his sleeves, and more than a dozen Qianling Water Stones appeared. He looked at Xie Ling and said:

"Hold your breath and concentrate, I will help you refine this thing."

Seeing Wei Zhong being so solemn, the other party straightened his expression, nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Ling Ziwei stepped aside and watched the two people sitting cross-legged opposite each other in the courtyard.

His spiritual consciousness stretched out from the courtyard to protect the two of them.

After a while, Wei Zhong looked at the cloud in his hand with satisfaction.

‘It’s barely enough to reach the peak of the second-stage middle stage, which is probably enough to cast a medium-grade water spirit root. ’

After standing up, he called the two to follow him.

When they arrived at the training room, Wei Zhong looked at the two seriously. Seeing Wei Zhong so serious, Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua also took it seriously.

“Next, I will teach you a unique method, which is called “Spirit Planting Method”. It was obtained by accident, and then it was finally formed after my own verification and improvement.”

“Spirit Planting?”

Ling Ziwei looked thoughtful when she heard this, and she had a vague guess in her heart.

“This method must not be leaked, otherwise we will have a bloody disaster. So...”

The two women understood the weight of Wei Zhong’s words, and they all made a heavenly oath to prevent the possibility of the method being leaked.

Wei Zhong nodded, and two rays of spiritual light emerged from his fingertips and flew to the eyebrows of the two.

It contains the entire content of “Spirit Planting Method” and Wei Zhong’s understanding as a reformer.

The two girls meditated for several hours before waking up one after another.

Ling Ziwei's eyes were filled with disbelief:

"There are actually methods to transform innate spiritual roots in this world?"

Xie Linghua was also delighted. She didn't expect that her poor qualifications would be turned around here.

"Spiritual roots are born with mystery and abnormality. It is normal for us mortals to have doubts about this.

But in the eyes of those powerful people with profound Taoism, there may be no secrets.

This method is derived from a blood method called "Blood Spirit Sutra", which is suspected to be inherited from the upper realm.

Perhaps in the world above the human world, this method of transforming spiritual roots has already spread, but we in the lower realm are not allowed to spread the method."

Both girls nodded. The power of the Nascent Soul was a power that they dared not estimate, not to mention those upper realms that only the God of Incarnation could ascend to.

Most of the cultivators among them were extraordinary!

"Linghua, you can stop practicing for a while and spend some time to familiarize yourself with this method to prepare for the next spiritual root condensation.

According to my estimation, there is no problem in condensing the middle-grade spiritual root this time. If you perform this method many times in the future, the upper-grade spiritual root will not be far away."

Xie Linghua nodded, with uncontrollable joy in her eyes.

"As for Ziwei, you can just watch from the side. If you want to use this method in the future, you can also gain some experience. If you don't understand anything during the comprehension, you can ask me."

Then the three of them sat cross-legged on the futon and comprehended their own methods. From time to time, there were inquiries and discussions.

What Wei Zhong held in his hand was the alchemy inheritance from Shan Qin, which recorded the key points of refining the fourth-level spiritual pill and the tips for refining various pills.

'It is worthy of being written by an experienced alchemist. The author of this jade slip is probably a master in the Yunji Chamber of Commerce. '

The content of the jade slip that Wei Zhong flipped through with his spiritual consciousness was only one or two percent, and he gained a lot.

He even felt a little itchy, and wanted to take out the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir on the spot to verify what he had learned.

But seeing the two women in front of him comprehending the Dharma, he put away this thought and just kept replaying the alchemy scene in his mind.

It took half a month for Xie Linghua to be ready.

Seeing this, Wei Zhong took out the elixir bottle, a bottle of soul-nourishing elixir, and a bottle of small dust-reducing elixir to weaken the effect of the medicine.

The process of cultivating spirits consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness. Xie Linghua's spiritual consciousness is still lacking in strength now, and she needs to use the soul-nourishing elixir to support the entire process of cultivating spirits.

The small dust-reducing elixir is because Xie Linghua's cultivation has just entered the middle stage of foundation building, and it is difficult to consume the medicinal power of the third-level dust-reducing elixir.

Wei Zhong specially weakened it and refined a weakened version.

Although the medicinal power is reduced, the effect of reversing the innate is better than that of ordinary low-grade dust-reducing elixir.

This is all thanks to Wei Zhong's improvement in alchemy skills. Now he can easily refine this kind of low-level elixir.

The two sat opposite each other, and Wei Zhong gently reminded them of the various precautions in planting spirits.

"Have you remembered?"

Xie Linghua nodded slowly.

"Then let's get started!"

A spiritual force took up the Soul-Nourishing Pill and held it in his mouth without dissolving it, allowing its medicinal power to slowly dissipate to support the entire process of planting spirits.

Then he took out the Small Dust-Reducing Pill from another pill bottle and swallowed it to refine it.

A sense of clarity that rushed straight to the soul suddenly emerged from Xie Linghua's body.

"Concentrate, don't miss this good opportunity!"

Wei Zhong's voice sounded in her ears, as if it was close to her, and as far away as the sky.

Xie Linghua knew that this was the most important moment. The white ball in her lower abdomen slowly turned, and strands of pure water spirit containing her own imprint emerged from it...

"Husband, what about Sister Ling'er?"

Wei Zhong shook his head slowly:

"It has entered the critical state of planting spirits. Outsiders cannot interfere. Just wait quietly!"

It took Wei Zhong a full year to plant the top-grade spirit roots. Xie Linghua will need at least half a year this time.

Sitting cross-legged beside her to protect her, Wei Zhong waited slowly.

Half a year is nothing compared to Wei Zhong's life of more than 500 years.

Time passed slowly, and the servants on Qingbo Island had not seen the island owner and the chief steward Xie for a long time.

Only the hostess surnamed Ling occasionally showed up to handle matters on the island.

Wei Zhong had been in seclusion for a long time, and had not shown up for decades. The servants were used to it.

But the absence of Chief Steward Xie for such a "long time" was enough to surprise everyone.

······

Wei Zhong looked at Xie Linghua who slowly opened her eyes. She seemed to have just come out of that mysterious state and had not yet adapted to reality.

He walked forward and stroked her slightly messy hair, and asked softly:

"How do you feel?"

The latter leaned on Wei Zhong's arms:

"Very good..."

After saying these two words, there was a sound of intermittent sobbing.

······

The saying that spiritual roots are born has long been deeply rooted in the human world. How many people cannot embark on the path of immortality because they do not have spiritual roots, and regret their whole lives.

How many cultivators are unable to advance due to their own qualifications, and regret their death.

Xie Linghua used this method to improve her qualifications and had the possibility of glimpsing the great way. How could she remain calm?

"The Spirit Planting Method" is undoubtedly a method that can change the current pattern of the cultivation world. Wei Zhong knows this very well.

'It's too involved, and I must not expose it at present. '

Wei Zhong has not yet thought that his magical powers are so great that he can spread this method without being found by the cultivators in the world.

The traces of the Blood Sea True Lord, who has countless caves, have been discovered by himself and others, let alone himself who does not have such a method of splitting his body.

‘I wonder if True Lord Xuehai escaped the pursuit of the God after he was exposed in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range last time? ’

Wei Zhong shook his head and put it behind him.

In short, Wei Zhong has no intention of publishing the "Spirit Planting Method" in the short term.

‘From the "Blood Spirit Sutra", it can be seen that the method of improving spiritual roots has been integrated into the cultivation method by the upper realm cultivators.

I wonder if there is a universal method to improve the qualifications of spiritual roots alone?

The "Spirit Planting Method" in his hand is a derivative of the "Blood Spirit Sutra", barely touching the edge of universality, but there are still considerable restrictions. ’

"At least the mid-stage foundation building cultivation, a unique life creation. The Soul-Nourishing Pill that supports the entire process of planting spirits, and the Dust-Reducing Pill that reverses the innate."

Apart from the method, the above requirements are not something that ordinary cultivators can achieve.

The value of planting spirits is very high, and it is almost the same as the resources of forming pills.

How many foundation-building cultivators can achieve this?

‘Xie Linghua succeeded with the support of her own resources.

If he is left to fight on his own, even if he raises these elixirs and succeeds in promotion, he probably won't have time to use his improved qualifications to practice.

As usual, it is the end of a hopeless road. '

Wei Zhong knows the limitations of the "Spirit Planting Method" in his heart, but there is no way.

In the final analysis, Wei Zhong is only a reformer of the method, not a creator.

With Wei Zhong's only Jindan cultivation, how can he understand the mysterious method of spiritual roots.

He just stepped on the shoulders of his predecessors, made some small attempts, and found a path suitable for himself.

Wanting to improve on this basis is nothing but wishful thinking.

'It's better to practice well and increase your own cultivation. '

"For Jindan cultivation, no matter what you do, you have to look ahead and behind!"
