Chapter 153: Hitting a Wall

Song Linfang chuckled, knowing that Wang Qianxi had misunderstood the relationship between her and Wei Zhong.

"Sister Wang, you misunderstood. Wei Zhong is a third-level alchemist. I have traded pills with him several times. One of the pills I traded saved my life and indirectly saved the entire Zhigang Palace.

In addition, the pills he made were of good quality, so my Zhigang Palace has always maintained pill transactions with him. Over time, we have developed a good relationship."

Looking up at Wei Zhong:

"And this person is also a guest of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Qianxi saw Miao Lishan approaching Wei Zhong, who bowed and respectfully called him Senior Miao.

"Guest of the Chamber of Commerce," Wang Qianxi frowned, secretly feeling that the Yunji Chamber of Commerce was really omnipresent, and people from the Chamber of Commerce could be seen everywhere.

But she didn't know more about the relationship between Wei Zhong and the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.

It was Wang Lihua who knew that Wei Zhong was valued by Yunji Chamber of Commerce, but this news did not reach Wan Qianxi's ears, so the latter did not think much about it.

She looked at Wei Zhong for a few times, and then looked away.

"I didn't expect that it was Senior Miao who came to this banquet this time."

"The appearance of a new Yuanying, Yunji Chamber of Commerce must express its gratitude. Such trivial matters naturally fall on me, a small early Yuanying."

She looked at the two people around Wei Zhong:

"It's you who are leisurely and happy to bring your wives and concubines to the banquet."

Wei Zhong laughed awkwardly a few times, and the two women behind him bowed slightly to Miao Lishan and called him senior.

The other party nodded slightly, chatted with Wei Zhong for a few words, and then returned to the other two Yuanying female cultivators.

Wei Zhong sat for only a moment, and then heard that the other two Yuanying forces had arrived, first of all, the Shadow Moon Sect, and the other party took out a fourth-level magic sword as a gift, and Song Linfang went out of the hall to greet them.

But when the visitor entered the hall, Wei Zhong saw that the other party was a late Jindan cultivator with a strange appearance.

‘It seems that not everyone values ​​Song Linfang, a Yuanying, so the Shadow Moon Sect was quite perfunctory. ’

The next to come was the Red Flame Society, which was even more perfunctory than the Shadow Moon Sect. They only took out a piece of fourth-level spiritual jade that was not very useful, and the visitor was only in the middle Jindan stage.

Although Song Linfang was not surprised by it, the other party represented the Red Flame Society of Yunzhou City after all, a Yuanying force that was not as good as Zhigang Palace in flattery.

She had to maintain superficial courtesy.

Not long after the representatives of the four Yuanying forces arrived, Zhigang Palace immediately held a banquet.

During the banquet, Wei Zhong was careless and sent away many sect members and even casual cultivators who tried to take this opportunity to make friends with him.

It was because he was worried about the puppet that had not been refined yet in the cave.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Wei!"

A man walked towards Wei Zhong and greeted him gently.

Wei Zhong looked up and realized that he was the representative of the Shadow Moon Sect.

With a little doubt in his heart, he stood up and bowed:

"Hello, Fellow Daoist, I wonder... "

The latter smiled gently:

"My last name is Zhou, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Zhou. This time I am here on behalf of Wanyan Zhenchuan to greet you."

'It turned out to be Wanyan Fu. '

Since the last secret realm mining ended, the elixir trade between Wei Zhong and Wanyan Fu has been cut off. More than ten years have passed, and it is rare that the other party has not forgotten Wei Zhong and has entrusted the elders of the sect to come and say hello.

"Wanyan Zhenchuan highly praised the Taoist's alchemy skills. I didn't believe it at first. But after coming to Luohe Prefecture, I learned about the Taoist's reputation among the cultivators in this prefecture."

"It's just to make a living and earn a few false names..."

The man left after chatting with Wei Zhong for a few words, as if he came here just to make himself familiar with others, and had no other purpose.

"My husband's name is spreading more and more widely."

"It's just a useless reputation, which can't compare to real strength. If I fight with the thieves, who cares if I am an alchemist or not? The only right way is to improve my cultivation."

Wei Zhong turned his eyes to the three Yuanying on the other side and sighed.

'Yuanying, it will take at least a hundred years! '

Others didn't know what Wei Zhong was thinking. If they knew it, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

Even Ling Ziwei thought that Wei Zhong was trapped in the early stage of Jindan and couldn't break through, so she was moved and hurried to comfort him softly.

······

After the banquet, Wei Zhong took the two girls on the Nine-Colored Riding Horse and left. This time, Wei Zhong was intimidated by the power of the Nascent Soul and wasted time attending the banquet.

Compared to this, Wei Zhong still hoped that he could practice well in the cave and tinker with his puppets.

Once he returned to Qingbo Island, Wei Zhong announced that he would start a long retreat, and then said goodbye to the two girls and quickly entered the practice room.

Seeing this, Ling Ziwei sighed in her heart: "This time, my husband will not be able to come out of retreat unless he reaches the middle stage of the Jindan."

In the cave, Wei Zhong walked to a yellowish-brown puppet and took out some parts to improve it.

In a blink of an eye, three years had passed.

During this period, Wei Zhong refined three puppets, all of which were in the late third stage, belonging to earth, metal and water.

In terms of power, the three were higher than the previous five-element puppets, and only slightly inferior to the silver-white puppet in Wei Zhong's hand.

This gap is only caused by the lack of some fourth-level spiritual materials, and does not have much impact on the strength of the puppet itself.

It is worth mentioning that Wei Zhong’s proficiency in the first-level Geng swordsmanship reached a peerless level during this period of time, and he obtained the fifth-level magic rune, which Wei Zhong burned on the three puppets. By the way, the Five Elements puppets from the outside world were also filled in.

After hearing some outside news, it was confirmed that there were no major changes in Luohe Mansion, and he returned to Dongtian for retreat.

In Zhigang Palace in another part of Luohe Mansion, Song Linfang and Wang Qianxi sat opposite each other, listening to the report of the monk below.

"The direction of the spiritual veins has been roughly identified. After our exploration, it is very likely that there is a fourth-level spiritual land deep in Wuyun Mountain..."

Song Linfang listened quietly to what the people below said, but her heart was filled with excitement.

"Now that we have a direction, why don't I go and see for myself?"

Wang Qianxi looked at Song Linfang and said this.

"That's fine!"

Then the two of them got up and turned into escaping light, rushing towards Wuyun Mountain where there might be a fourth level spiritual land.

Wuyun Mountain is far away from Luohe River and some distance from the entrance to the secret realm. It is a real barren mountain.

Following the spiritual veins explored by their men, the two of them felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy as they walked, and finally came to a valley filled with thick fog.

"It's probably right here!" Song Linfang showed a bit of joy on her face.

Wang Qianxi also nodded. The two of them searched the nearby hills but found nothing. Now this is the only suspicious place.

"No wonder it's so difficult for my subordinates to find him. The spiritual energy here is affected by the special terrain and there is very little leakage."

The two looked at each other and immediately headed towards the thick fog below.

After passing through the mist, a strong spiritual energy suddenly crowded around the two of them.

"Sure enough, it is the location of the fourth-level spiritual land!"

There was joy in the eyes of both women.

But when the two fell into the forest here, they seemed to have alarmed a certain "savage beast".

A powerful Nascent Soul consciousness spread from the dense forest ahead.

"Where did this little kid come from? He doesn't know etiquette and trespasses on my territory."

The voice rang out from their minds, causing their expressions to change drastically.

The strength of this spiritual consciousness not only far surpasses that of Song Linfang, but also falls far behind Wang Qianxi, who has been concentrating for many years.

‘At least it’s the middle stage of Nascent Soul! ’

Wang Qianxi made a judgment, quickly took out her magic weapon to be on guard, and explained aloud.

"Senior, don't blame me. My junior, Wang Qianxi of the Wang family in Yunzhou City, came here with her friends in search of a spiritual place. I never thought that this place was a retreat for my seniors, so I was offended."

"The Wang family, but the Wang family where old man Wang Yonghong lives?"

Wang Qianxi cupped her hands and replied: "Exactly."

"Hmph," Tantai Lin extended his consciousness and naturally saw the two people in the forest. After catching a glimpse of Song Linfang's cultivation, he roughly guessed the cause and effect.

"Humph, I was looking for a spiritual place for my descendants, and I found the old man."

"Tell Wang Yonghong that I, Tantai Lin, occupy this place. If you are dissatisfied, you can come to ask for advice."

"Senior misunderstood, the Wang family has no intention of invading senior's territory. This time it was an accident, junior will retreat now."

Wang Qianxi did not want to have a conflict with a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk because of Song Linfang and a fourth-level spiritual land. This would be an absolute loss-making business for both herself and the Wang family.

Pulling Song Linfang over, the two of them escaped from here together. They waited dozens of miles away before slowly stopping.

Looking back at the other party, he saw a bitter look on his face.

The spiritual place that she had been searching for for many years turned out to be someone else's courtyard, and Song Linfang felt mixed emotions.

Wang Qianxi sighed:

"Sister Song, it's not that I won't help you. It's just that that person is too powerful, at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Even if you and I go into battle together, I'm afraid we will lose."

In the Nascent Soul realm, the gap between each level is huge. If two early Nascent Souls don't have special means, they will most likely end up defeated when facing a mid-stage monk.

Even if Wang Qianxi has the blessing of formation skills, how can she ensure that the other party has no other means.

Besides, Wang Qianxi had no intention of fighting with him.

'The other party called the ancestor by his name. He was probably a monk of the same generation as the ancestor. I don't know which force he came from, or he was simply a casual cultivator?

Tantai Lin, this name is a bit unfamiliar. ’

Wang Qianxi's thoughts were racing in her heart. She never expected that there could be a Nascent Soul cultivator in the wilderness of Luohe Mansion.

Looking down at Song Linfang, she suddenly felt a headache.

‘The idea of ​​finding a fourth-level spiritual land for him has failed, and subsequent plans cannot be carried out. It is really troublesome! ’

"Sister Song, why don't you go back to Gang Palace first and I can discuss it with the ancestors of the clan?"

When Song Linfang heard this, she could only nod her head and let the other party turn into a ray of light and fly away into the distance.

He looked back at Wuyun Mountain, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He hesitated for a moment, then turned into a sigh, stepped on it, and left.

There is a monk in the middle stage of Yuanying that Wang Qianxi dare not offend. He is cultivating here. What can Song Linfang, who has just entered Yuanying, do?

No matter how unwilling you are, you can only hold it in your heart, break your teeth and swallow it in your belly.

The news that Zhigang Palace and the Wang family failed to search for the spiritual land was only known to a few Nascent Soul monks from the two families, and it did not spread among the people.

Yunzhou City, Wang Family.

Wang Yonghong, who was sitting in the main seat, heard what Wang Qianxi said, nodded slowly and said:

"Don't mess with Tantai Lin. The Wang family can't afford to mess with him."

Wang Qianxi raised her head in confusion, wondering if this person was stronger than her ancestor?

Seemingly understanding what he was thinking, Wang Yonghong added:

“Tantai Lin became famous earlier, so it’s normal that you don’t know.

This person is a casual cultivator with a bloodthirsty and aggressive personality. Unlike the young people in the Shadow Moon Sect who are fighting for fame, this person truly enjoys the fun of fighting and is a complete "madman".

In the early years, he was mixed in Yunzhou City. Because of his cruel methods, he was jointly driven away by the forces of this prefecture and state.

After that, he worked hard in the Western Desert for many years, achieved the body of Yuanying, and was honored as the Blood Shura by the practitioners in the Western Desert. "

"Blood Shura?"

"This all starts with the practice of his cultivation method. This person practices the blood way. The source of the practice is unknown, but it is a pure blood way spiritual method, not a first-class evil method.

With a blood way method, he is unparalleled, and his extraordinary fighting sense, there are few opponents at the same level. "

"How does the ancestor compare to this person?"

"When I was building the foundation, I was a little stronger than him. ”

Wang Qianxi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him add:

“But at that time, I was a physical cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and the other party had just entered the middle stage of foundation building.”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Qianxi's breathing stagnated.

“Relying on the advantage of realm, I am only slightly stronger than this person. Now hundreds of years have passed, and the other party has also achieved the sound of Yuanying. From what you said, it seems that he is still in the middle stage of Yuanying, and his realm is similar to mine.

If the two of us fight again, the outcome is unpredictable. ”

‘The middle stage of foundation building is only slightly weaker than the late stage of foundation building of the ancestor, isn’t this the middle stage of Yuanying?’

Wang Qianxi's thoughts were churning in her mind, and at the same time she recalled that she had a conflict with him, and she suddenly felt a little scared.

“Haha, after all, he is just a casual cultivator, fighting alone, you don’t have to be afraid of him.

In addition, this person’s cultivation progress is not fast, probably because of limited qualifications. I don’t know how much better your water-based earth spirit roots are than his, and your potential is deeper. "

Speaking of this, Wan Yonghong stood up, walked to the front of the temple with his hands behind his back, and looked at the blue sky above his head:

"For cultivators of my generation, it is a great blessing to condense the Nascent Soul, and it is far from being possible to transform the spirit. If you can't advance, you can only endure the Nascent Soul, and practice for nearly a thousand years. I don't know how many peers will die.

Qianxi, you are very young. The middle stage of the Nascent Soul is far from the end for you. The late stage or even the transformation of the spirit is your true destination. "

Wang Qianxi took a deep breath: "Thank you, ancestor, Qianxi understands."

Wang Yonghong turned around and smiled a little.

"Yes, and prepare some gifts. I want to meet the other party."

"What is this, ancestor?"

Wang Yonghong waved his hand:

"It's just a greeting between old friends. I don't have the intention of fighting with him.

This time you broke into his territory, and it was my Wang family that lost courtesy after all.

Tan Tai Lin, a wild man in the mountains, doesn't know how to be decent, but my Wang family's thousand-year inheritance is not allowed.

Prepare a small gift to express your apology, and at the same time warn the other party not to attack anyone from my Wang family without reason."
