Chapter 252: Stranded in the sea, met Mitian on the road
"This kind of thing?"
Wei Zhongzheng wondered why Lei Ling would leave such a thing behind after he was defeated, and the message projected from the stone platform in front of him provided the answer.
[Passed the spiritual level assessment...]
[One ancient thunder seed for the spirit reward, one fifth-level thunder pill, and one outer disciple token of Tianyin Lei Mountain. 】
The stone platform was sunken, and a light blue thunder pill and a green token emerged from it.
Wei Zhong looked at the green seed in his hand and roughly understood that it was the spiritual ancient thunder seed included in the reward, just a sub-seed.
Putting it away, Wei Zhong turned his attention to the thunder pill and the token.
The appearance of the Thunder Pill is unremarkable, but when Wei Zhong's palm touches it, the "Seven Apertures Thunder Technique" starts to operate autonomously.
"It is said that if it is swallowed, it will stay in the lower Dantian and slowly disperse the thunder element. When it breaks through the bottleneck of divine transformation, it will completely break into pieces, providing assistance for the monks to break through."
Swallow it directly.
"It has no taste, and it doesn't have the thrilling feeling of thunder and lightning that comes from taking Lei Yuan Dan."
Touch your abdomen gently and feel a warm feeling.
This is the pure thunder element flowing to the monk's limbs and bones as the thunder power circulates.
"The last one is this disciple token."
Wei Zhong picked it up. It was green as a whole, like a piece of warm jade. When you touch it with your palm, Nascent Soul seems to be soaked in a hot spring, feeling extremely comfortable.
Thunder and lightning were active on the body surface, like a bath towel, rubbing out bits and pieces of black impurities from the Nascent Soul's body.
"This actually has the effect of warming and nourishing the Nascent Soul?"
An ordinary disciple token had such an effect, which shocked Wei Zhong.
But when I recalled that this was a disciple of a great force in the spiritual world, it suddenly seemed reasonable.
Wei Zhong saw the two big characters "Tian Yin" engraved on the token, and the small words "Outer Gate" in the lower right corner.
The entire token is in the shape of an elongated pentagon, with protruding and magnificent patterns on its periphery.
"It's actually an outer disciple's token?"
Wei Zhong heard Thunder Dragon's surprise and curiously asked:
"How come? Is there anything wrong?"
The latter shook his head gently:
"I'm just a little surprised. In the spiritual world, the disciple token of Tianyin Leishan is not so good even for the outer sect.
"Many people have not reached the level of god transformation, and they do not even have the slightest chance to worship at Tianyin Lei Mountain.
"The master can defeat the Qilin Thunder Spirit. This world is also the lower world. This is in line with Tianyin Leishan's selection of disciples. After all, if the monks in the lower world can ascend, they will have more potential than the local monks in the spiritual world."
Wei Zhong was exploring the token with doubts, and suddenly let out a light sigh.
"There is actually a legacy of Tianyinhou!"
"What?" Thunder Dragon's usually steady expression could not be maintained at this moment. He grabbed the dragon's beard and asked:
"Tianyin roar, is it absolutely true?"
Wei Zhong nodded, with joy in his eyes.
Although he has practiced physical training for many years, he lacks combat skills. When fighting, they just use their strong bodies to fight wildly.
Now there is finally a method of thunder repair that can be used.
Wei Zhong has seen the effect of Tianyin Roar before.
When the thunder and lightning unicorn unfolds, even the large amount of Gang Qi and the superposition of the fourth-level magic shield can't stop it. If it hits the fragile spiritual body... won't it break into foam?
Before he had time to comprehend the magic, a teleportation formation suddenly appeared in the hall, and the surrounding floor retracted, seeming to urge Wei Zhong to leave quickly.
Wei Zhong put the token away, stepped lightly into the formation, his inspiration flashed away, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the teleportation circle also collapsed as the main hall dissipated.
In the secret place, the surface of the missing cauldron cracked, and then the cracks deepened, and finally collapsed.
Not only that, in the broken sky, the void cracks became more and more dense, projecting down towards the secret place. The entire secret land was like being thrown into a meat grinder.
Completely turned into dust in the void.
Wei Zhong's consciousness sank, and when he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but rub his head, feeling dizzy.
The warmth sent from the token on his chest made this abnormal state somewhat alleviated.
"This is?"
As far as the eyes can see, there is a vast sea with no spiritual island in sight.
"Where did the teleportation array send me?"
…
Xie Yuanping was waiting outside the passage. He would finish the assessment earlier than Wei Zhong.
The assessment of a fifth-level thunder beast and a thunder soldier did not pose much hindrance to it.
The only thing that makes him feel regretful is that there is no sixth-level thunder pill in the secret place here. Even if he passes the test, he will only be rewarded with a slightly larger fifth-level thunder pill.
After Xie Yuanping received the reward early, he returned to the entrance of the passage through the teleportation circle.
He stared at the passage in front of him, thinking that Wei Zhong was almost done.
Unfortunately, he did not wait for Wei Zhong, but the passage in front of him suddenly collapsed.
"The secret place was completely destroyed? What about Mr. Wei?"
Seeing no sign of anyone appearing in the passage, he hurriedly jumped into the air and searched for several other nearby passages.
Naturally, there was no trace of Wei Zhong.
"Boy Wei, did you die during the secret examination?"
Doubts gradually arose in my heart, but after thinking about it, I shook my head:
"Impossible, this kid is shrewd and has many tricks. Even if he loses to the thunder beast in the test, there is no reason to fail and die. It is very likely that he was affected when the secret place was half destroyed and was teleported to a higher place. Far away."
After flying back to Jie's family, Xie Yuanping immediately used his family's power to send missing persons information to other forces in the Polar Star Sea.
"The fifth-level alchemist we finally got along with can't be lost like this!"
…
On the sea far away from Jie's family, Wei Zhong rubbed his forehead, unable to identify the location, and could only escape in one direction according to the celestial phenomena.
After a long time, I finally saw the existence of a spiritual island in the distance, but it seemed as if a thick layer had been peeled off by a scraper.
The buildings were completely destroyed, and even the monks inside were missing.
"It's a bit like a space storm. Could it be that the ocean storm in the Polar Star Sea has escalated to this?"
There was a chill in Wei Zhong's heart. If it were an ocean storm, the Yuanying monks still had room to deal with it, but even the space storm could cause even the God Transformation monks to fall into it.
If it continues to develop like this, this polar star sea is likely to turn into a desert similar to the Arctic ice sheet.
Wei Zhong checked it and confirmed that he had nothing to gain, and then left in a hurry.
I saw another spiritual island with white skeletons floating around, and I was filled with doubts.
"Evil cultivators practice here, and they are some kind of ocean predators."
Looking up from a distance, several islands are faintly visible on the horizon.
Wei Zhong flew away, intending to find someone to inquire.
Golden Shark Island,
The island is bustling with monks. These are people who have traveled across the ocean to try to hunt down golden sharks.
Wei Zhong saw many stalls set up by monks on Ling Island, many of which were various body parts of golden sharks.
After twisting a piece of his spine, Wei Zhong asked the monk in front of him:
"With so much golden shark material, how come there is no demon elixir?"
The echoer is a female cultivator. She is wearing a black and purple robe. She has a plump figure and an ordinary face, but she has the special charm of a mature woman.
"Is this your first time coming to Jinsha Island, fellow Taoist?"
Wei Zhong was just a pill-forming monk at the moment, and he was not eye-catching among the monks.
Nodding slowly, a mid-grade spiritual stone was naturally handed out.
"I want this spine, and I would like to ask fellow Taoist to answer a question."
The latter happily concluded the deal and then said:
"This place is called Golden Shark Island. It is naturally famous for the golden shark community in the sea. Do fellow Taoists know the "Five Elements Seed Spirit Method"?"
Wei Zhong had doubts in his eyes, but there was speculation in his heart.
"This golden shark demon elixir is one of the metal inner elixirs in the Polar Star Sea. It is very suitable for cultivating spirits. More importantly, the large number of golden sharks and the large output of demon elixirs have made this place a place where Jin Xing monks are entrenched. The land of the distant sea...
“Therefore, there are very few golden shark demon pills on the market, and they are either kept for personal use or sold to large local chambers of commerce.
"If you need it, fellow Taoist, I have news about a batch of golden shark demon pills..."
After Wei Zhong got the information he wanted, he rejected the female cultivator's warm invitation and left calmly.
Recalling the map of the Pole Star Sea obtained by Zi Jie's family, the distant sea spiritual islands were very roughly marked on it, but because Golden Shark Island has a certain reputation, it is rare to leave any traces on it.
"It won't take much time to return to Jie's home at my speed, but we have to pay special attention to the occasional storm at sea.
"Let's not ignore the space storm for now, but we must ignore the black storm surrounding the monsters. Once there are enough half-flowered water bugs in it, and the spiritual power is absorbed, I may be killed."
"Let's make some inquiries in the market first. There are many monks coming to Golden Shark Island. There must be a relatively safe route."
With an arrangement in mind, Wei Zhong immediately went to major shops to find out where the shipping route was by purchasing the Golden Shark Demon Pill.
Most of the shops had no intention of hiding this information. They only asked Wei Zhong to pay a small amount of spirit stones to get the information he wanted.
"Spring tide period?"
There is a unique logic to hunting golden sharks.
The monks often come to Golden Shark Island in winter, and then wait for the golden sharks to give birth in spring before starting to hunt in large numbers.
This is the season when monsters in the sea are most active, and it also means that the danger is greatly increased.
Especially black storms are several times more likely to break out than in other seasons.
And this state will last until the entire spring.
Now it has only passed half of the time, and it will last for at least another month and a half.
"Forced crossing is not impossible, but there is a certain danger. Although the physical cultivation technique is enough to greatly increase my chance of survival, it will be difficult if I encounter a fourth-level sea monster at the same time."
"It only takes about a month, just wait."
Walking along the street shops, we gradually walked under a red pavilion. The doors and windows were open, and many female nuns stood in front of the windows, stretching their waists and showing off their graceful figures to the monks on the street.
"I didn't expect that such a small island in the far sea could have such a popular industry."
Wei Zhong shook his head, criticizing this in his heart.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone calling out to fellow Taoist priest. It was the female cultivator who had just set up a stall.
I secretly thought that this person was really not serious, and he actually had this part-time job.
Wei Zhong ignored his warm invitation and waved his rejection, then walked along the street to a teahouse.
Instructing the waiter in the shop to serve a pot of special spirit tea, he sat by the window and looked at the sea view in the distance.
The spirit tea was very strong and dark green in color. Wei Zhong took a sip and frowned.
The tea was very fragrant and had good aura, but it had the unique fishy smell of the sea, which made Wei Zhong uncomfortable.
He raised his head and looked at the monks in the teahouse. Most of them were Taoists who came to Golden Shark Island to catch golden sharks during this season.
Wearing black, white, green, and red robes?
That touch of red gave people an extremely unexpected feeling in the teahouse, and the inexplicable familiarity made Wei Zhong frown.
When he raised the tea cup and looked at it, the black-robed monk facing the man in red suddenly raised his head and looked at Wei Zhong with a smile.
Wei Zhong's half-raised tea cup froze and floated in the air.
However, the other party raised his tea cup without any abnormality and pushed it towards Wei Zhong, as if he wanted to clink the cups.
Wei Zhong looked stiff and reluctantly responded, then put down the tea cup and stopped taking two sips of the spiritual tea on the table.
He turned around and wanted to leave.
The tingling sensation from the spiritual sense technique was already a severe warning.
"Where are you going, little friend? Although I have just met you for the first time, we have a good rapport. Could you please give me a favor and come have a drink with me?"
Wei Zhong’s actions don’t stop:
"Junior suddenly remembered that there was something important, so he stopped nagging senior. Please forgive me..."
Before he finished speaking, the steps he took suddenly encountered strong resistance.
I sighed in my heart, knowing that I couldn't leave today.
Cheer yourself up in your heart, [Times Taoism] is ready to go, ready to forcefully escape at any time.
This person is too powerful and is more than one level higher than Xie Yuanping. He is most likely a monk in the late stage of becoming a god.
Transformation gods often fight for a long time, and Wei Zhong can maintain his cultivation for an hour or two at most by using the [Time Taoist Technique].
Without experience in fighting at the level of a god, there is a high probability that he will not be able to defeat him.
Even if he escapes, success or failure is not determined.
‘Unless absolutely necessary, it’s better not to expose yourself to such methods. ’
Wei Zhong turned around and picked up the spirit tea on the table, and came to the table of two people, one red and one black.
"Junior has met senior, but don't you know his name?"
The latter grinned:
"Why has it become such a custom in this spiritual world to ask others their names before meeting them?"
He didn't mean to answer. He just knocked on the edge of the table and motioned for Wei Zhong to sit down.
Wei Zhong brushed up his robe and sat down. When he saw the face of the red-robed monk, he sighed slightly in his heart. His previous guess was concluded.
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Wei Zhong!"
The person who spoke out was none other than the True Lord of Blood Sea who made trouble in Yunzhou.
I don’t know where he got the news about Wei Zhong, and he even learned about his appearance and name.
"After saying goodbye to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, I didn't expect that fellow Taoist fellows from the Blood Sea would actually come to this Extreme Star Sea."
The latter chuckled:
"Fellow Taoist Wei Zhong is the one. Back then, he was only at the Dan Formation level, but now he has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Such speed is astonishing."
His words were accompanied by a look of gloating on his face.
He turned to the black-robed Taoist and said:
"Senior, this person's cultivation has made an astonishing progress, and I'm afraid he may have a chance. In addition, he also has a complete "Blood Spirit Manual" in his hand."
This kind of complaint made Wei Zhong frown and feel something bad in his heart.
