Chapter 242: Verification Method, Xie Family’s Forbidden Zone
"How can a monk's spiritual root allow spiritual objects such as the inner elixir of a demon beast to be refined into it?"
Seeing this, the maid lightly covered her mouth with a smile on her face:
"Fellow Taoist, what I am asking is that this method appears in this sea of stars in my memory. It is the art of refining the inner elixir of monsters and beasts that I have always upheld.
"Could it be that there are other versions outside of that polar star sea?"
The maid in front of Wei Zhongguan only had foundation building cultivation and was still very young, so he knew that her knowledge was limited.
So I took out the spirit stones and bought a copy of "Water Elemental Seed Spirit Technique", and also bought a batch of the so-called Yunli Demon Pills.
"Does your store have inner elixirs for different kinds of monsters? For example, wind and thunder?"
"Of course there are, but the grade is not high, mostly second grade..."
Wei Zhong felt regretful that such grades were of no use to Jiucai.
Leave this store with the "Water Elemental Spirit Planting Technique". I went to other shops and found out that the spiritual methods in Ji Xinghai were mainly based on demon pills.
There are those who use the Yunli Demon Pill, and there are also those who use the Yuan Snake and other demon pills.
It just didn’t use water-type heaven and earth spiritual objects.
After returning to his residence, Wei Zhong took out this unique "Spirit Planting Method" and after checking it, he felt a little surprised.
"The method of destroying gods?"
The "Spirit Planting Method" with only a hundred spirit stones actually contains a method for killing the consciousness of monsters.
Although it is not a true spiritual secret technique, it uses many spiritual objects and even formations to achieve a killing effect.
But it is also enough to eradicate the demon beast spirit contained in the demon pill.
Down to the first level, up to the third level, and after the fourth level, this method is useless, and a higher level method is needed.
"No wonder this "Spirit Planting Technique" is only worth a hundred spiritual stones, but it has such a secret method.
"When wool comes from a sheep, the materials required for the art of destroying gods are extremely valuable. In this way, the cheap and large-volume demon elixir is raised to a value that is almost as valuable as a spiritual object from heaven and earth.
"After the monk upgrades the spiritual root to a high level, the effect of planting the spirit will decrease sharply. Then the monk will need to purchase a new method, which is another way to make money."
Wei Zhong processed the demon elixir according to the method, and he noticed the changes in the demon elixir.
"It seems that the spiritual energy in the demon pill has lost its vibrancy and its quantity has also been reduced."
After crushing the demon pill and feeling it carefully, I found that the spiritual energy in it seemed to be no different from ordinary heaven and earth spiritual beings.
"There are some tricks. I don't know who improved this secret method."
Apart from anything else, Ji Xinghai is full of demon pills. Especially for low-level demon pills, if you find a sea area, you can catch a lot of them.
"Is there some reason behind the use of Yunli and Yuanshe?"
Wei Zhong didn't know, so he put away the jade slip in his hand, thinking that if he had a chance, he would find a high-level god-destroying method to take a look at.
Nascent Soul monsters are different from the third level and below. They have already developed independent intelligence. How can they be easy to kill?
Shan Jie happened to come to the door to discuss with Wei Zhong about visiting Jie's family tomorrow.
After chatting for a few words, Wei Zhong talked about the unique spiritual method of this extremely star sea.
The latter replied:
"Friend Daoist Wei doesn't know that although the Ji Xing Sea is a vast sea area, there are not many water-based spiritual objects, at least on the surface.
"There are only a limited number of spiritual objects on the Spirit Island, and most of them have been mined by the monks who come and go. If you want to obtain enough spiritual objects to enhance your spiritual roots, you need to go to the bottom of the sea.
"The environment in the sea is complex, and there is a high probability that you will encounter various monsters. The dangers are similar to those of my Yunzhou monk traveling through the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.
"It's even more serious. After all, the sea area is the territory of this group of monsters, and human monks are naturally at a disadvantage when fighting in it.
"Coupled with the weakness of the spiritual body, you will be injured by monsters if you are not careful..."
Wei Zhong heard Shan Ji's explanation, and it was probably that the sea did contain enough resources, but the human monks were unable to obtain them because of the monsters blocking them.
Only some high-level monks can hope to obtain cultivation items from it.
In comparison, catching and killing monster beasts has become an easier method.
It’s really a weird practice world.
…
After a day's rest, Wei Zhong and Shan Ji went to the location of the Jie family as planned.
The disciple of the Jie family who was guarding the gate was already accustomed to seeing Shan Ji's appearance.
After all, this man had stayed in Jie's family for a while a few years ago, and the clan leader had to drive him away with great difficulty.
However, out of respect for Senior Yuan Ying, the disciple of the Jie family decided to report it to the clan and welcomed Wei Zhong and the two into the living room.
Not long after, a green-robed monk appeared in front of the two of them.
There was some helplessness on the face:
"Fellow Daoist Shanjie, our ancestors don't want to come out of the mountain, and we really have no choice, so why force others to make things difficult?"
He shook his head, as if he was having a headache with Shanzhe.
Wei Zhong knew the person's identity by observing the aura of cultivation exuding from him.
‘In the later stage of Nascent Soul, Jie Fan. ’
Shan Ji arched his hands and introduced Wei Zhong instead of explaining.
"This is Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong, the elder of my Yunji Chamber of Commerce. He is a practitioner of both law and body. He practices the Seven Apertures Thunder Technique."
In order to support what he said, Wei Zhong even mobilized the thunder and lightning in his body.
Seeing the silver lightning overflowing from Wei Zhong's body, Jie Fan's expression gradually became more straight.
As the feeling deepened, his expression also changed greatly, and he said in surprise:
"Level 4 body training?"
Wei Zhong nodded slowly.
The latter lowered his head and was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something. Then he suddenly raised his head and said with some apology:
"Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised. It's been too many years since my Jie family has seen anyone able to practice the "Seven Apertures Thunder Technique" to the fourth level, so I felt a little out of sorts for a while.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go and invite the ancestor. Come and serve tea to these two fellow Taoists."
After Jie Fan left, Wei Zhong and Shan Jie looked at each other, and a disciple of the Jie family came to the hall with spiritual tea.
Smelling the strong tea aroma, it was obvious that this spiritual tea was no ordinary thing.
"Fourth level spiritual tea, it seems that the Jie family really values Fellow Daoist Wei."
Wei Zhong pursed his lips slightly, and there was surprise in his eyes.
As Shan Ji said, this spiritual tea is indeed good. It must be the highest quality spiritual tea Wei Zhong has ever tasted.
There is plenty of spiritual energy in it, and this cup is enough to be worth less than half of a Baby Training Pill.
If you can drink this spiritual tea as water, the effect will be much higher than that of the fourth-level spiritual elixir.
'It's a pity that no one in the entire Jie family can do such a luxurious thing. ’
Sipping the fragrant tea in the cup, Jie Fan left and returned without waiting long.
"You two, please follow Pindao."
Wei Zhong followed its guidance and crossed the spiritual mountains one after another, finally reaching the top of a mountain that towered into the clouds.
There is no vegetation on the mountain, it is all bare rocks, white and black are staggered on the surface.
‘Caused by lightning strike? ’
Looking up and looking ahead, there is no house on the peak. There is only one excavated cave, which is barely carved into the shape of a pavilion.
There is also an old man wearing a silver robe standing at the lower entrance.
There was no aura around him, but the smile at the corner of his eyes and the unruffled look on his face made everyone know his true identity.
Jie Fan bowed and saluted:
"I've met my ancestors!"
Wei and Zhong also followed suit.
Xie Yuanping looked at the two of them, and as soon as the thunder light appeared on the soles of his feet, he came to Wei Zhong, golden thunder lighted up in his palm, and grabbed Wei Zhong's arm.
The "Seven Apertures Thunder Skill" operates autonomously for protection, and thunder and lightning wrap around the body, dyeing Wei Zhong's body into a silvery white color.
Xie Yuanping's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he lowered his arms after a while:
"Okay, okay, fourth level, and also refined a thunder seed. He is also a dual practitioner of law and body. Our Jie family has not seen such a genius for a long time."
After thinking for a moment, he said to Jie Fan:
"You greet Shan Xiaoyou now, and I'll call you two later."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and led Wei Zhong into the cave and pavilion not far away.
"Fellow Daoist Shan, please!"
Shan Ji had no choice but to retreat with Jie Fan, and soon he heard the thunder of Lingshan Mountain in the distance and the dancing of silver snakes.
…
Seeing that Wei Zhong absorbed the thunder and lightning from the outside world, Xie Yuanping nodded repeatedly:
"Not bad, not bad!"
This thunder and lightning is an absolute fourth level. If one had not reached the level of thunder and lightning, he would have been turned into ashes under this thunder and lightning.
Over the years, there have been people who wanted to get on the Jie family's side and used various means to impersonate Lei Gong to enter the country.
Therefore, this method of confirmation has become the norm.
Those who have not passed will be destroyed, and those who have passed will make little progress.
"How long have you been practicing this skill?"
Wei Zhong made an estimate and said:
"About two hundred years."
Without saying that it took him more than a hundred years to reach the fourth level, Wei Zhong chose a more conservative year.
"More than two hundred years, it's not too bad. Even if you have Nascent Soul cultivation level ahead, if you cut it in half, it would still be four hundred years. It's a rare talent among ordinary people."
Wei Zhong did not expect that this person would double his cultivation time. After sighing, he also asked:
"I heard that my senior's family is looking for someone who is good at thunder skills. I don't know why?"
"It's too early for you to ask about your identity now. You will find out naturally when you have the opportunity in the future.
"Also, have you thought about how to join my Jie family? Marriage or apprenticeship?"
Such directness made Wei Zhong feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
With an embarrassed look on his face, he raised his hands and said:
"To be honest, I came here under the order of Senior Hongxu, but I have no other plans in mind..."
Xie Yuanping was silent for a while before he sighed:
"The red-bearded old man has a good idea. He asked me to abandon the entire Jie family to block the evil eye. This is absolutely impossible. The whole family is still counting on me to support them."
Wei Zhong was helpless at this.
In such a situation, the Jie family cannot escape the protection of this god-turned-ancestor.
"But it's different now that you appear."
Wei Zhong was stunned for a moment, but the other party waved his hand, signaling Wei Zhong to go ahead. Then it turned into a ball of lightning and disappeared here.
"senior……"
Wei Zhong was confused for a moment.
Jie Fan came to the top of the mountain again:
"Old Ancestor is out, Fellow Daoist Wei can practice in the side hall here. Or come with me to find Fellow Daoist Shan?"
Wei Zhong took a look at the mountain covered by thunder. As a place for monks to cultivate in the form of gods, he wondered if there were any other dangers, so he finally decided to withdraw from this place.
After a while, I saw Shan Xie, with a look of urgency on his face:
"What's Senior Xie's attitude like?"
Wei Zhong shook his head.
Shan Jie sighed:
"This ancestor of the Jie family is really famous for being stubborn. Pindao, who brought senior Hongbeard's order with him last time, spent several years in the Jie family and has never seen him.
"I didn't expect that now that I brought Fellow Daoist Wei here, he would still look the same."
Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment before asking:
"I wonder if the meritorious deeds recorded in the Taihua Monument are still useful to the cultivators of the Transformation of Gods?"
Single exegesis without thinking:
"Of course there is. Otherwise, why would Senior Hongxu and Bai Heng work so hard to resist the demons? They have the idea of using their merits to go further."
"Then why did the elder of the Jie family refuse this matter? According to common sense, even if he does some casual god-transformation tasks, regardless of himself, the materials exchanged for him would be enough for the junior of the Jie family to benefit endlessly.
"I just want to be a mascot guarding the Jie family..."
The two of them looked thoughtful, and for a while they couldn't understand the differences between the monks who transformed themselves into gods.
Xie Yuanping never turned around, and Wei and Zhong stayed in the Jie family for half a year. During this period, Shan Ji asked many times for news about the ancestors of the Jie family, and the answers they received were that the monks who transformed gods disappeared and no one in the clan knew where they were.
Such a perfunctory attitude made Shan Ji feel deeply helpless.
In contrast, Wei Zhong was extremely busy.
After the Jie family learned about Wei Zhong's identity, they sent many of their descendants to visit him.
Among them were people who practiced the "Seven Apertures Thunder Skill" and asked Wei Zhong for advice on practice techniques.
There were also people who heard that Wei Zhong was extremely talented and came to challenge Lei Gong.
Wei Zhong didn't know where these people who could not reach the third level of physical training got the courage to challenge.
I can only send it away casually.
Of course, more women from the Jie family came to visit.
From the main line of the family to the various branches, Wei Zhong is feasting his eyes on all kinds of graces.
Of course, no matter how gentle the country was, Wei Zhong never went beyond the thunder pool.
Eaters have short mouths and takers have short hands.
It was Wei Zhong who asked for help on this trip, so he couldn't put the cart before the horse and be captured by the Jie family.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you really make my Jie family happy!"
Opposite Wei Zhong are two Nascent Soul monks from the Jie family, Xie Shijia and Xie Ruolin.
These two people are a pair of biological brothers and sisters, both of whom have earthly spiritual roots.
The two are not too old, the elder brother is seven hundred years old and the younger sister is over six hundred years old.
After Xie Yuanping in the entire Jie family, he is the most promising person to become a god.
"It's a pity that the two of us, who have been practicing Thunder Kung Fu for hundreds of years, failed to reach the fourth level and did not attract the attention of our ancestors. We are not like Fellow Daoist Wei..."
Wei Zhong coughed twice:
"After all, I am an outsider, and my two fellow Taoists are still..."
Xie Shijia smiled:
"Haha, you are an outsider now, but you won't be in the future. My ancestor is stubborn, no, tough-tempered. Since fellow Taoist has taken the initiative to come to my house, my ancestor will not let you go easily."
Wei Zhong had a headache and asked about understanding Yuan Rui.
The two of them were cryptic in their words, as if they didn't want to recall the past.
On the contrary, he told Wei Zhong where the ancestor of the Jie family went.
"The ancestor has probably gone to the Thunder Pond, right?"
"Thunder Pond?"
Wei Zhong couldn't help but think of the thunder dragon that once soaked in the thunder pond.
"That is a secret practice place in my Jie family, specially for high-level practitioners of Thunder Kung Fu. However, since my Jie family has not had a fourth-level body refiner, it has been abandoned for a long time.
"Fellow Taoist's visit here is probably to ask the ancestor to restart the thunder pool."
