Chapter 279: First Time Entering the Spirit World, the Three Forces of the Dharma Spring

The time to ascend is quite long, longer than the time to travel to Kyushu.

Wei Zhong once thought that something had happened to the ascension channel.

But when he arrived at his destination, Wei Zhong noticed that the invisible suppressive force disappeared, and he knew that he had finally arrived in the spirit world.

"Spiritual Mingyu."

Looking around, there was a wide stone hall. There was a red-robed monk guarding the reception platform. When he saw Wei Zhong appearing on the ascension platform, he immediately walked over enthusiastically.

"When you meet a Taoist friend, don't you know his name?"

Wei Zhong walked down from the ascension platform, cupped his hands and replied:

"I'm a poor Taoist, Wei Zhong, do you dare to ask my friend that this is the spiritual world?"

The latter laughed twice:

"Exactly, this place is the Faquan City of Mingyu in the Spirit Realm, Baifeng Spiritual Realm, located within the jurisdiction of the Five Elements Immortal Sect..."

"Faquan City, Five Elements Immortal Sect?"

Asked about Brontosaurus:

"Do you know where we are?"

The latter looked confused:

"There are so many guidance and ascension platforms in the spiritual world, how can I remember all of them, Old Dragon? You might as well ask this monk for information, or go to the nearest city to buy a map."

Wei Zhong had no choice but to say to the monk:

"Can I ask my Taoist friend's name? I'm here for the first time, and I'm not familiar with this area of ​​the spiritual world..."

The latter answered very readily:

"The poor Taoist Jiang Changyu is from the Shahe Sect here and is responsible for guarding the Ascension Reception Platform here.

"My fellow Taoist has just arrived in the spiritual world, so you might as well settle in our sect.

"If you Taoist friend really has nowhere to go, it happens that our Shahe Sect is recruiting talents. There are several fifth-level and even sixth-level spiritual veins in our sect, which are enough to meet the needs of your Taoist friend's cultivation..."

Wei Zhong heard the other party's words, but did not answer for a while. After a while, he regretfully refused.

"In the past hundred years, several people from Pindao's lower realm have ascended. I still want to consult with these people before making a decision. I don't know, fellow Taoist Jiang..."

Seeing this, the latter shook his head:

"If Fellow Daoist Wei wants to find the movements of these people, it is better to save your energy. This ascension platform is not only connected to the small world where Fellow Daoist is, but also connected to other places.

"There are not a thousand people, but hundreds of people who have ascended in a hundred years. There are no traces of these people who have been integrated into this vast spiritual world.

"Besides, the person who guards the reception platform is replaced every ten years. This is only seven or eight years old."

With a sigh, Wei Zhong walked out of this place. As he left, he suddenly turned his head, and the silver lightning flashed in his hand:

"By the way, I dare to ask fellow Taoist Jiang, do you know where Tianyin Lei Mountain is?"

The latter has a different color:

"In the due north direction, it is not easy for fellow Taoist to rush to Tianyin Lei Mountain. The journey has to pass through several spiritual realms, and there are many dangerous places among them. With my fellow Taoist's cultivation, it is better to give up this thought. ”

"Thank you, fellow Taoist," Wei Zhong cupped his hands and left.

When Wei Zhong's figure disappeared from his field of vision, another person suddenly walked out of the shadows:

"Senior brother, do you want to vote for this?"

The latter shook his head:

"At first glance, this person seems to be a good person. He is really lucky to be able to obtain the inheritance of Tianyin Leishan in the lower realm.

"In order to avoid getting into trouble, it's better not to do anything. Besides, with the cultivation levels of you and me, it's hard to say whether we can defeat the other party."

One of the two is in the late stage of divine transformation, and the other is in the middle stage.

"It's better to call our ancestors..."

Jiang Changyu looked irritated when he heard this, and slapped his junior brother on the head:

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, you are trying to drag our Shahe Sect into the water..."

Wei Zhong left the reception desk and felt relieved that the hostility in the dark dissipated.

'Sure enough, the spiritual world is not much different from the lower world. The monks responsible for the reception platform can all have the desire to rob, so there is no order at all.

‘I don’t know what the current situation is like for the few comrades who ascended before me. ’

Looking up, a majestic city appeared in the distance.

"This is probably the Faquan City that Jiang Changyu mentioned."

Even at such a long distance, Wei Zhong could still see the tall magic sword buildings erected in the city. The billowing spiritual energy emerged from the sword body, making the latter seem to be in a cloud of mist.

"It's quite a sight!"

Wei Zhong's feet flashed with lightning and he moved towards the city.

After paying the spirit stone at the city gate, Wei Zhong followed the people inside.

What I see around me is that not everyone is transformed into gods or even refining voids. Instead, they are not much different from the human world. They are mainly mortals and low-level monks such as Qi Refiner and Foundation Establishment.

Even Nascent Soul is rarely seen, let alone the transformed spirit.

‘It doesn’t look like a big city. ’

With a secret murmur in his heart, Wei Zhong planned to find a place to stay first.

But before that, I have to make some inquiries here.

After finding the most splendid commercial building in the city, Wei Zhong entered and was greeted by a maid in green clothes.

The opponent's foundation is established.

She wore a white gauze scarf on her face, revealing her smooth forehead. Her brows had the liveliness of a young girl, and her black hair was spread back. When she saw Wei Zhong, she immediately stepped forward.

"Senior, if you need anything, we, Taofang Pavilion, are the largest chamber of commerce in the local area. We have everything you need for spiritual things."

Wei Zhong took a look at the layout of the shop and saw many fourth- and fifth-level spiritual objects, and was somewhat convinced by what the latter said.

"Is the information for sale?"

"I'm selling it, senior, please follow me into the room to discuss it in detail."

Then he walked into the pavilion and sat in a private room. Someone offered spiritual tea, and the latter asked:

"Little girl Zhou Zhiqing, senior just call me Zhiqing. I wonder what kind of information senior wants to buy?"

"The strength of the major forces in Faquan City is accurate to the level of high-level cultivation; the map of nearby areas should be larger and more detailed..."

Hearing Wei Zhong's request, the latter had a look of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"The information in Faquan City is all ordinary information and is not of high value. Two thousand low-grade spiritual stones can be handed over to the senior. But as for the map..."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"But the price is high? No problem, I still have the Pindao Spiritual Stone."

The latter slowly shook his head and explained:

“Senior, I don’t know that Faquan City is located at the southern end of Bai Feng Spiritual Domain and is one of the areas under the jurisdiction of Five Elements Immortal Sect.

"The territory is vast, and our Taofang Pavilion only has a small map mark including Faquan City. I'm afraid it won't be able to meet the needs of fellow Taoists."

The two discussed for a while, and Wei Zhong paid the price of five thousand low-grade spiritual stones to buy what he needed.

"Faquan City has three major forces. One of them is the Shahe Sect located at the northern end of the city. There are three god-transformation monks in the gate and an ancestor from the early stage of Void Refining...

"The second force is the Lejia who live in Changle Lake not far outside the city. Their strength is almost the same as that of Shahemen...

"The first force is the Fantasy Sword Sect entrenched in this city. The strongest monk in the sect is said to be an ancestor who is in the late stage of Void Refining, but he has not been seen for many years.

“Under him there is also a master who is in the early stage of refining the void, as well as several god-transformation monks.

"The strength is so strong that it can suppress the Shahe Clan and the Le Family."

Wei Zhong was very satisfied with such a territory and power.

‘The highest level is nothing but cultivation, and it’s not that difficult for me to run. ’

As for the other map, as the waitress in front of me said, it was very incomplete and small.

Although the entire map covers the Baifeng Spiritual Domain, only the area near Faquan City is marked, and the rest of the map is largely blank.

"Faquan, red sandalwood, five clouds, spring river..."

Looking at the names of nearby areas, there is only one Faquan that can be called a big city.

The sixth-level spiritual veins contained within are enough to supply the needs of the Void Refining monks. Except for the two sixth-level spiritual veins controlled by the Shahe Sect and the Le family, the rest are all fifth-level.

‘This spiritual world is not much better than the human world, isn’t it? ’

"Senior, is he an ascended monk?"

Wei Zhong nodded upon hearing this, without any intention of covering up.

"Exactly."

"Senior, are you looking for a place to stay when you first come here?"

Wei Zhong still nodded.

"From what I see, the senior might as well choose one of these three forces to join. For ascended monks with clear backgrounds and innocent identities like the seniors, the three forces have always been very welcoming.

"After joining, you can enjoy the treatment of elders, which can be regarded as officially establishing a foundation in this spiritual world. In the future, the power behind it will be less troublesome."

Wei Zhong frowned:

"If I don't want to join these three forces, is there any chance of finding a spiritual land for practice?"

"Of course there are. In Faquan City, the Huanjian Sect also has a business of leasing caves to external parties. However, there are not many sixth-level caves, so fellow Taoists will have to check them out before they know."

Wei Zhong was very satisfied with the answer. He put away the jade slips on the table and was about to leave, but he asked:

"Does your pavilion sell Void Spirit Refining Techniques?"

The waitress stood up excitedly:

"It's worth it. Senior, please wait for a moment. I'll call the Pavilion Master to come."

His face turned slightly red, as if he had encountered something lucky, and he passed by Wei Zhong and left.

‘He is another rich man. The share of a Void Spirit Refining Method is enough to cover my income for several years. ’

Not long after, a female cultivator in black dress walked into the private room. The latter also covered her face with a veil, which made Wei Zhong wonder if there were some weird rules and business in Taofang Pavilion.

The nun in the black dress had a somewhat lazy look on her face. When she saw Wei Zhong, she didn't have much enthusiasm for welcoming guests, and her tone was cold:

"Fellow Taoist, do you need to practice the Void Spirit Technique?"

"Exactly, I just ascended from the lower world, and I'm looking for some spiritual advisors."

The latter nodded, shook the bell on his waist, raised it and whispered something.

Not long after, someone walked in with a tray.

Wei Zhong saw six jade slips on it, and the female cultivator in black skirt explained:

"These are the Void Spirit Refining Techniques sold by our pavilion. Among them, there are four attributes of the Five Elements, one without attributes, and one with Feng Xing."

Wei Zhong picked them up and looked at them one by one.

There are restrictions in the jade slips, and Wei Zhong can only read part of the information, but it is enough for him to judge whether the law is appropriate or not.

The highest level of the six methods only reaches the Great Perfection of Refining the Void, and there is no higher level of Hedao.

Moreover, it is very unfortunate that the four Five Elements Methods have the four attributes of metal, wood, fire, and earth, and the water attribute happens to be missing.

Wei Zhong, the wind attribute method, picked up and checked for a long time, then put it down and took the last non-attribute method "Xuanling Zhuanyuan Gong".

This method is a way to continuously refine one's own spiritual power to improve one's cultivation. Each turn can enhance one's own spiritual power a little.

The monks who practice this skill have strong spiritual power, but they do not have the attributes and characteristics of other spiritual methods, and they have no obvious advantages in the use of magic or even in fighting.

It's just that the spiritual power is thicker, and it can be considered an extremely mediocre book.

Seeing that Wei Zhong seemed to be somewhat interested in this "Xuan Ling Zhuan Yuan Gong", the female cultivator in black skirt explained:

“This method is mediocre and has no outstanding advantages over the other five skills, but it is very suitable for monks to practice excessively and switch to other methods in the future.

"If you really have no choice, it is okay to practice this method.

"In this area of ​​Faquan City, if you reach the realm of refining emptiness, you are absolutely at the top and safe. Even if you lack the ability to fight because of this skill, it is okay."

Wei Zhong listened to this in his heart, thought again and again, and decided to take it.

"Just choose this "Xuanling Zhuanyuan Gong."

The deal was reached, and Wei Zhong paid 100,000 spirit stones.

Leaving Taofang Pavilion, he couldn't help shaking his head and thinking:

'This spiritual world force is so cruel to kill people. An ordinary refining emptiness skill requires 100,000 spirit stones. It's really black-hearted.'

In the business pavilion, Zhou Zhiqing approached the woman in black skirt and asked curiously:

"Why didn't the lady try to recruit this person? This person ascended to the upper realm with the cultivation of the spirit transformation. In the future, he might be a refining emptiness, which is also a great help to our pavilion.

"The other party is eager for the skills. With your power, it won't be a problem for you to bring out a few more good Lianxu skills, right?"

The woman in black dress was not very enthusiastic:

"There is news from the meeting that the Pavilion Master's cultivation is approaching the Great Perfection of Lianxu, and he will be able to break through to the Hedao soon. At this time, it is better to be more obedient, so as not to be impeached by those old guys, saying that I intend to usurp the throne while the Pavilion Master is away."

"The Pavilion Master is about to break through?"

The green-clothed maid had some joy in her eyes:

"Doesn't that mean that my Taofang Pavilion will suppress the Huanjian Sect and other forces?"

She seemed to have some understanding of the major forces other than the Huanjian Sect in her words.

The woman in the black skirt shook her head and lifted her hair with her backhand:

"It's not that easy. The Huanjian Sect and several other sects have been eyeing us covetously recently.

"Maybe they will pounce on us and bite us at any time. Such an impact is hard to resist..."

"Why drag an ascended monk into the water..."

Wei Zhong walked along the streets in the city and picked a few commercial buildings to ask about information and skills.

The information he got was almost the same as that from Taofang Pavilion, but the skills were far worse.

After visiting five shops, only one sold the Lianxu skills.

It was still a very crude method, far worse than the six skills offered by Taofang Pavilion.

The shopkeeper who received us said carefully:

"There are only three refining forces near Faquan City. How can there be so many refining techniques for sale? It is not easy for our store to have one technique. If you want to find a suitable method, you have to go to the three major forces."

What the other party said makes sense. How can you let others sleep beside your bed? If you sell the refining method to the outside world, it will be boring for yourself.

It is better to seal the method to attract talents.

Only a big foreign force like Taofang Pavilion can sell it openly.

'But why is there no Taofang Pavilion marked on the map I bought? ’

He sighed in his heart:

'Sure enough, casual cultivators are not welcome anywhere. ’
