Chapter 237: Peerless Spiritual Clothes, Invincible Defense
With the war imminent, Ling Ziwei's promotion to Nascent Soul did not cause too many waves.
It's just that many people from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce came to Yunxiao Lingshan to congratulate him, including fellow Nascent Soul members from the chamber of commerce and many alchemy monks.
Wei Zhong and others have no idea of holding a grand infant coagulation ceremony. At this time of year, it is better to keep a low profile.
After sending these people away, some members of the Ling family also came. It was Ling Ziwei's elder brother Ling Hua, the eldest elder who had long retreated behind the scenes of the Ling family.
The other party now looks like a middle-aged man, and no longer has the youthful spirit of the past.
He is a little older than Ling Ziwei, and he probably only has less than a hundred years left to live.
As for cultivation, he is in the late stage of pill formation, but is extremely far away from the Yuanying level. If there is no great opportunity in this life, there should be no hope for Ningying.
When he saw Wei Zhong, his face was a bit reserved. Only when he saw Ling Ziwei, did he feel a hint of familiarity between brother and sister.
"It seems that it was a wise decision for you, Ziwei, to go with Fellow Daoist Wei."
Now the Ling family is the largest alchemy-forming family in Luohe Prefecture, and its strength is only lower than that of sects such as Jinguang Pavilion.
Not to mention Ling Ziwei, the elder of the Yuanying Clan, who should be the largest force in Luohe Mansion.
However, Ling Hua had no idea of using Ling Ziwei's name to expand the Ling family. He even specifically told the younger members of the clan not to disturb Ling Ziwei until the family was in danger.
After all, she was married to Wei Zhong, and her relationship with the Ling family was nothing more than kinship.
There have been countless rotations among the monks in the Ling family in the past three hundred years, and there are not many familiar faces of Ling Ziwei at all. Ling Hua couldn't guarantee how much affection there would still be between the two.
"Brother Ling is wrong in what he said. With Ziwei's ability, it is not difficult to condense the baby."
Along the way, Ling Ziwei relied at most on some of Wei Zhong's spiritual pills for cultivation and the last concentration pill she used to break through the barrier.
In fact, the level of the formation master is quite good. If he frees up his hands and feet to earn spirit stones, it is not difficult to raise these cultivation elixirs.
As for the Calming Pill, at this time of trouble, it is not impossible to get one in exchange for one.
Any fourth-level skill master in a power such as the Yunji Chamber of Commerce has the value of being trained as a Nascent Soul monk.
It can be said that Ling Ziwei's journey is not just a pendant on Wei Zhong's body.
It's just that Wei Zhong has the responsibility of a Taoist companion and uses spiritual stones to solve many tedious tasks that he should have done.
After hearing what Wei Zhong said, Ling Ziwei shook her head:
"Thanks to my husband's helping hand, otherwise this trip to Ningying would not have been so smooth."
The three chatted for a while, and then Ling Ziwei took Ling Hua to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce to purchase some of the materials needed by the Ling family.
Wei Zhong knew that the other party wanted to use his value as a Nascent Soul cultivator to make Ling Hua a familiar face in this gathering chamber of commerce, so as to facilitate the future development of the Ling family.
Ling Hua was very moved by this. When he returned to Luohe Mansion, he also said that if Ling Ziwei had time, she could go back to the Ling family and see if there were any talented disciples in the family, she would like to take care of them.
As for the rest, I didn’t say more.
"Brother doesn't seem keen on bringing me back into the family."
Wei Zhong naturally understood what Ling Hua was thinking and patted Ling Ziwei on the shoulder:
"Brother Ling doesn't want you to be bound by the family, nor does he want those younger generations to grow wildly by using the power of your Nascent Soul.
“Having a strong background may not necessarily be a good thing for the Ling family.
"You did a good job in taking Brother Ling to the Yunji Mountains. With this familiar relationship with the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, you can handle most of the troubles."
Ling Ziwei nodded. In the past, most of the old people in the Ling family ran out of life and passed away. Now among the Ling family, I am afraid that only Ling Hua, the elder brother, is still familiar. As for the others, Ling Ziwei can't get close to him even if he wants to. Hard to get close to.
Ling Hua's move was exactly what he wanted.
An escaping light flew from the sky, and it was Shan Qin who had just returned from the front line of the Demon Eye.
When the latter heard that Ling Ziwei was condensing her baby, she immediately rushed to Yunxiao Lingshan to congratulate her.
Taking out an elder's token that was very similar to the one in Wei Zhong's hand, Ling Ziwei naturally became the special representative of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Zhong looked at the token in his hand and asked doubtfully:
"Don't we have to expand the special position of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce by one more?"
Shan Qin shook his head:
"Fellow Taoist Wei Wei is in seclusion, but Taoist friend Zhuge Zhao passed away at the end of his life yesterday."
Wei Zhong's expression froze and he sighed:
"I didn't expect that after Fellow Daoist Huang, Fellow Daoist Zhuge would also leave so soon."
Recalling the time when I worked with the two of them on refining weapons and making puppets, it seems like it was just yesterday.
"Today, our Gathering Chamber of Commerce still maintains a special seat for six elders. All major matters will be discussed together by the six of us when the leader is absent."
Wei Zhong nodded slowly, and Shan Qin took out a storage bag:
"In recent times, the demand for spiritual elixirs has increased significantly. Whether it is Pei Ying Dan or its Haoyuan Dan, Heqi Dan and other products, they are all in short supply.
"Other alchemists in the Chamber of Commerce are a little overwhelmed, especially the fourth-level elixirs and the third-level mid-to-high-level elixirs. We also need Fellow Daoist Wei to help share the burden."
Wei Zhong took the storage bag from his hand and looked around with his consciousness. Sure enough, he saw a large number of elixirs, ranging from a hundred years, a thousand years to ten thousand years.
"How are you doing, Fellow Daoist Du?"
Shan Qin lowered her eyebrows and shook her head:
"Although Elder Du can still make alchemy, his energy is getting weaker and weaker as he gets older. I can't put more tasks on his head."
Wei Zhong sighed in his heart. This Alchemist Du Longfeng might become the second Nascent Soul cultivator to pass away after Xie Yuanrui in the gathering chamber of commerce.
"Let Fellow Daoist Du rest for some time. It is not difficult for me to refine these elixirs. Just give them all to me."
Shan Qin handed over:
"Then I will thank fellow Taoist Wei for Elder Du."
Wei Zhong waved his sleeves:
"It's just a matter of duty. I also have to ask Fellow Daoist Shan, has there been any change in the front line of the Demon Eye?"
The latter had a somewhat relaxed look on his face:
"Everything is normal. As always, only some third-level and lower-level non-intelligent monsters will come out of the Demon Suppression Tower.
“It’s no different than it has been for decades.
"Even the senior Hong-beard in the Demon Suppressing Tower showed up a few times."
Wei Zhongmian was surprised:
"Could it be that this demon clan has stopped fighting? It was so menacing before breaking through the demon abyss, why is it now like this?"
Shan Qin was also confused:
"Who knows, you can only know if you ask those senior gods.
"All in all, the stability during this period is precious. No matter whether a war will happen in the future, I, the Chamber of Commerce, will be fully prepared."
After chatting with Wei and Zhong for a few words, Shan Qin turned around and gathered in the mountains.
While Wei Zhong was deep in thought, Ling Ziwei asked with concern:
"Husband, are you worried about the demons?"
Wei Zhong nodded:
"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. No one knows what the demons are up to."
Sigh:
"When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it with earth. I will just wait and do my own thing."
He looked up at Ling Ziwei:
"You have just been promoted to Nascent Soul, your cultivation is unstable, and you still have to concentrate on your cultivation for a while.
"In addition, you have the fourth-level formation skills. I am afraid that you will be called to the front line in the future, and your strength must be improved one or two.
"I have to put various Nascent Soul magic weapons on the schedule for you..."
For Wei Zhong today, refining ordinary fourth-level magic weapons is not difficult, and the spiritual stones consumed are only a drop in the bucket of Wei Zhong's net worth.
Returning to the training room, in just three months, a sword and a shield were released. They were both metallic, fourth-level, middle-grade magic weapons, which matched Ling Ziwei's own high-grade golden spiritual roots.
After handing the magic weapon into his hands, he happened to learn that he had been recruited from the front line and needed to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the Jin Juexu Heavenly Formation.
"Staying in the formation honestly will most likely not be too dangerous. In addition, you also need to carefully consider the path of cultivation after Nascent Soul.
"It is best to change to a method with a higher upper limit, whether it is obtained from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce, or obtained through meritorious deeds. It is best to comply with the "Five Elements Seed Spirit Method".
"The cultivation after Nascent Soul is not something that high-grade golden spiritual roots can go smoothly."
Ling Ziwei nodded slowly.
After refining the two magic weapons, he followed Miaoli Shan to the front line of the Demonic Abyss.
Wei Zhongyuan watched the two escape from the light and returned to the practice room.
The golden flames rose in his hands, and he began to complete the alchemy task in the chamber of commerce.
The alchemy proficiency on the panel continues to grow as one pill after another is produced.
For five years, Wei Zhong spent all of his time refining alchemy, weapons, and cultivation.
On this day, black spiritual power surged on Wei Zhong's arm, and the data on the panel flashed by.
[Black Water Spirit Clothes·Peerless]
The body-protecting techniques that Wei Zhong practiced had finally reached a peerless level.
A mysterious rune entrenched in the void in front of Wei Zhong, automatically absorbing the spiritual energy and moisture traveling in the air, and formed a black water mass on its own.
Wei Zhong stretched his right fist into it, and it actively clung to Wei Zhong's fist, forming a pair of black gloves, and as time went by, there was a tendency to develop into an arm armor.
"Is it just condensed into runes? What a pity..."
Seeing the golden flame forming a fire seed of heaven and earth, Wei Zhong hoped in his heart that the black water spirit cloth technique could condense a water seed of heaven and earth.
In this way, it is consistent with his own attributes, and he might be able to use it to raise the level of his spiritual roots.
No longer thinking about it, black water flowed around Wei Zhong's body, forming a pair of black armor, filled with the fourth-level natal magic weapon Yuan Shui Bead.
Wei Zhong's consciousness trembled and he felt an extremely fulfilling feeling.
"This defense..."
The colorful golden bamboo umbrella appeared in his hand, the barrier unfolded, and groups of golden thunderballs appeared, with full firepower, all falling on Wei Zhong's body covered in black armor.
However, this round of attacks was enough to make even the mid-stage Nascent Soul unable to resist, and it only caused a few ripples on the Black Water Spirit Clothes.
Wei Zhong still didn't believe it, so he escaped from the training room and came to a wilderness near Lingshan Mountain.
The golden thunder sword appeared in his hand, and the spiritual power poured in with all his strength. The thunder light jumped on it until a golden thunderstorm formed, falling from the sky and attacking Wei Zhong's body.
Looking from a distance, a golden thunder sky seemed to appear in the sky, striking directly at the black figure floating among the mountains and forests.
"Boom!"
What followed was a continuous crackling sound.
A large crater that stretched for more than dozens of miles emerged from the mountains and forests, as if it had been struck by a meteorite from outside.
Most of the surrounding mountain forests were destroyed by the shock, and many of them even burst into flames under the lightning strike.
Wei Zhong stood up slowly in the center of the pit, looked down at the Golden Thunder Sword in his hand, and found that it had been shattered, and most of the sword tip was missing. It seemed that it had been completely shattered in the collision just now.
This sword was prepared by Wei Zhong, and its power was definitely no less powerful than a strike from a monk in the late Yuan Ying period.
And when Wei Zhong looked around at the layers of black water flowing on his arms and body armor, he found that there was no damage at all.
Seeing this, Wei Zhong let out a wanton laugh.
"With this kind of defense, I am invincible under my divine form."
He rose into the sky and waved his hands into rain, extinguishing the nearby burning forest and at the same time driving away the nearby Chamber of Commerce disciples who were attracted by the movement.
It turned into a golden light and returned to Yunxiao Lingshan.
The disciples of the Chamber of Commerce who were attracted by this movement all looked horrified when they saw this deep pit with no boundaries.
"What kind of attack is so powerful?"
In the gathering of chambers of commerce, the major Nascent Souls rarely took action in front of their subordinate disciples.
Therefore, the disciples only know that Yuanying is very strong, but they don't know how strong it is.
This level of destruction has exceeded everyone's imagination.
A white-bearded Taoist emerged from the crowd and almost tore off his beard:
"My dear, this is a big pit. If the old Taoist foundation builder falls into it, I'm afraid he won't be able to fly out..."
The words may be exaggerated, but they are enough to show the power of Wei Zhong's sword.
This kind of destruction was caused by Wei Zhong using his body to defend himself. If he didn't use his body to block it, what kind of terrifying destructive power would this sword have?
When Wei Zhong thought about it, he suddenly felt that no one in the middle stage of Nascent Soul could resist it.
Even Yu Si, who was extremely strong back then, was no exception.
After all, Wei Zhong's cultivation is not what it used to be, and he is only one step away from the late Nascent Soul stage.
Perhaps only the Nascent Soul Great Monk is qualified to take on this sword. If he is not careful, he will be seriously injured.
Wei Zhong had just returned to Yunxiao Lingshan when a ray of Nascent Soul Escape Light flew from the direction of Yunji Mountains.
It hovered over the deep pit for a while before flying to Yunxiao Lingshan.
"What kind of wind has brought Fellow Daoist Du here?"
The latter fell to the pavilion in the mountain, revealing the figure of Du Longfeng.
"Of course it's the thunder blow from Fellow Daoist Wei."
Looking at the middle-aged monk in front of him, Du Longfeng sighed in his heart.
‘When we first met him, he was only at the level of forming a core. Now that he has reached the level of Nascent Soul, I can’t even hope he can do it. ’
"Fellow Taoist's attack is no worse than the attack made by the guild master in the early years!"
"Oh?" Wei Zhong became interested and took out the spiritual tea to taste.
"Brother Du, can you tell me in detail?"
"When the guild leader entered the late stage of Nascent Soul many years ago, he had a sparring match with Brother Xie, during which the destructive power of his moves was almost the same as that of fellow Taoist..."
Talking about the past, Du Longfeng's eyes were filled with an indescribable look.
"At that time, I had just entered Nascent Soul, but I could only watch the two fighting from a distance. I couldn't get close, for fear of being torn apart by the aftermath of their fighting..."
After drinking one glass, Wei Zhong added another, which completely opened up Du Longfeng's chat box and learned about the past that belonged to the Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
