Chapter 792: Setting an Example for Others

Wei Yuan finally found a way to borrow a wisp of Qi luck from beyond the heavens from the Three-Eyed Bird Head, and then Fu Yao cut a piece one-fourth the size from the Phoenix Blood Moss in front of Wei Yuan, threw both into Long Wushuang's corpse, and finally placed the corpse under the building tree seedling.

Wei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, watching everything quietly. At this moment, the voice of the girl Yin-Yang suddenly sounded behind him: "Loss."

Wei Yuan stood still, only his fingertips trembling slightly, and asked calmly: "How much loss?"

"Half."

Fu Yao carefully placed a layer of fallen leaves on the corpse, finally covering the face bit by bit.

If this continued for a period of time, Long Wushuang would be resurrected. It was just that at that time, Long Wushuang would only be a little bit of his original self, and most of his soul would have become Lei Ling, plus some parts of Silver Blade.

Wei Yuan didn't finish watching before turning and leaving, while the girl Yin-Yang followed Wei Yuan and flew toward the central city.

Wei Yuan was silent all the way, while the girl Yin-Yang said: "Regret it?"

Wei Yuan nodded heavily and then asked: "How did you know it would definitely be a loss?"

"I warned you before, but you insisted on doing so."

"Is there any way to recover the loss?"

"Yes, accept her reward."

"How much can be recovered?"

"About another half loss."

Wei Yuan was startled: "This isn't losing everything; why is it called recovering?"

The girl Yin-Yang said: "You recover one percent from her, and lose everything else elsewhere."

Wei Yuan's heart moved, and he said: "She won't use up all the Phoenix Blood Moss, will she?"

"She wouldn't dare, and she couldn't do it."

Wei Yuan was somewhat relieved.

The girl Yin-Yang suddenly said: "Why don't you hand over these immortal plants like Phoenix Blood Moss to me? You still don't trust me!"

Wei Yuan was stunned; he didn't know how to answer this topic, but he was indeed wary and guarded against the girl Yin-Yang in his heart.

Fortunately, the girl Yin-Yang didn't make things difficult for him, but said: "You are right to guard against me. If you don't hand it over to me, I can use at most half; if you hand it over to me, then you won't have anything left."

Returning to the central city, Wei Yuan summoned all the cultivators in the Battle Saint Hall who had reached Dao foundation completion and Dharma Form, announcing that there would be a great battle soon, with at most two months of preparation time, and everyone should seize the time to improve their strength.

Once these words were spoken, no one was afraid, but instead, everyone was eager to try. At this time, Han Li and Jun Weizhi had already reached the middle stage of Dharma Form, and Fu Yao was slightly delayed, but she could also reach the middle stage of Dharma Form before the great battle. Although Dugu Cangqiong was also in the early stage of Dharma Form, he probably wouldn't have time to advance to the middle stage before the battle.

Besides these four, five or six others had already advanced to Dharma Form, which could be considered considerable combat power.

The cultivation speed of cultivators in the Human Renjian Yanhuo far exceeded the outside world. Wei Yuan had already consulted Immortal Yan Shi about this matter and then understood that the Human Renjian Yanhuo was still a Mind-Reflection World, where the heaven and earth Dao was not perfect, so cultivation advancement was much easier and much faster. When the world turned from virtual to real, these people would all have to make up for their lessons, needing to fill in their foundations again, which would be about the same as re-cultivating once.

After dealing with all affairs, Wei Yuan could finally settle down and focus on studying the Xuanhuang Bell. This was the first Dao method he used with the power of the Mind-Reflection World, and its essence was an immortal technique. With limited time before the battle, he naturally had to use it all on killing techniques.

For the Xuanhuang Bell, the Human Renjian Yanhuo gave a brand-new solution, which was to build an assembly-type array.

First, build the array base, then build all three hundred and sixty-one small arrays on the pre-made base plates, and finally determine how many arrays to use according to needs, combining them into a Xuanhuang Bell of what power.

This line of thinking was unprecedented, and Wei Yuan was very satisfied. Next, the arrays would be engraved by cultivators in the Human Renjian Yanhuo, and Wei Yuan's own task was to thoroughly understand the three hundred and sixty-one sub-arrays one by one. Only by thoroughly understanding a sub-array could Wei Yuan mobilize the power within it as he wished and use it in the Xuanhuang Bell Dao method.

This was a water-grinding effort. From then on, Wei Yuan soaked in the Human Renjian Yanhuo every day, waiting for the moment of the decisive battle.

In the blink of an eye, it was spring again, and the city of Yong'an was as lively as ever. Now there were a large number of workshops in the city, and a special industrial zone had been set aside, opening several large factories, mainly focusing on cotton yarn, cloth, brocade, and spiritual wood processing. As for workshops, there were even more, and the workers were countless, busy and hot, with the looms almost smoking.

A figure flew past at low altitude and finally landed in front of a courtyard in the East City. In Yong'an City, Dao foundation cultivators were allowed to fly at an altitude not exceeding five zhang, but they had to follow the established route and could not cross the boundary. Flying randomly would result in heavy penalties; not only would immortal silver and merit points be deducted, but there was also a possibility of being disqualified from flying.

Deducting money was one thing, but revoking the flying qualification was something every Dao foundation cultivator was particularly afraid of. Returning to the city and not being able to fly, the face lost would be huge.

Now, the gates of decent courtyards in the city would be installed with endpoints of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array. After installation, the monitoring intensity of the array in the surroundings would be unprecedentedly improved, and ordinary petty thieves would have nowhere to hide.

The person who landed in front of the courtyard gate was Ren Suxing. He pushed the door and entered, and in front of him was a thick immortal tree, covering a lively courtyard, with five or six children playing in the courtyard. The butler greeted him: "Master is back!" Ren Suxing nodded and said: "I will stay for three days this time. If the younger generation in the clan has any difficulties in cultivation, report them as soon as possible."

The butler hurriedly went down to notify, while Ren Suxing walked into the backyard, sat down in the study, and constantly called people in to understand the situation at home.

Now, his brothers in the Ren family had completely moved over. In addition, several families with outstanding talent and no suitable place to go were selected from the clan and moved into the Azure Void together.

Ren Suxing was a direct descendant of his own Tianqing Hall and had always worked conscientiously. Although there was no outstanding merit, he had always been through life and death and had saved quite a few merit points. Coupled with the resources brought by the family, he had set up a quite large courtyard in Yong'an City and settled all the clansmen.

The cultivation progress of the younger generation made Ren Suxing very satisfied. In just two years, there were three more Dao foundations in the family. Diligence was one factor; on the other hand, the cultivation speed in the Azure Void was already comparable to the Northern Shanmen of the Tai Chu Palace, and with elixirs, it was not even worse than the main mountain.

That was the mountain gate of the first immortal sect. Except for Ren Suxing, no one in the Ren family could enter the Tai Chu Palace.

Just as he was dealing with family affairs, Ren Suxing suddenly felt a move in his heart. He took out a jade-quality thin board from his bosom and saw large passages of text appearing on the board, which was the latest announcement released by the Azure Void.

The Zhou Tian Star Dou Array could not only monitor heaven and earth but also send messages to specific magic treasure sub-devices, which could be delivered instantly within the Azure Void. It was just that this function consumed a lot of array power, so it was quite expensive. Only cultivators like Ren Suxing who had completed Dao foundation could afford it.

Once he saw the content of the announcement, Ren Suxing stood up with a start, his face changing greatly!

The main content of the announcement was that a new exchange item had been added to the merit shop: Dao Profound Qi! And it was specifically stated that the quantity was limited, first come, first served.

Dao Profound Qi was naturally a sky-high price, but Ren Suxing carefully calculated his merit points and discovered that if he poured out all his possessions, plus the preferential treatment for Tai Chu Palace disciples, he actually had enough to exchange for one wisp.

Ren Suxing knew clearly what Dao Profound Qi meant to him. He didn't hesitate anymore, went straight out of the mansion, and flew at full speed toward the Xiancheng!

Ten days later, red tribulation clouds gathered over the Tribulation Crossing Base, and seven fire rains fell in succession.

When the heavenly tribulation dissipated, a cultivator covered in charred black walked out of the base. Although he was seriously injured, he laughed three times toward the sky, laughing extremely happily, saying: "I, Ren Suxing, am now also a Dharma Form!"

At this time, quite a few people gathered around the Tribulation Crossing Base, naturally all sighing and envious.

Ren Suxing brushed off the tribulation ash on his body, suddenly knelt toward the Xiancheng, and said: "The grace of the World Lord's achievement, I will never forget in this life!"

Subsequently, he knelt and kowtowed three times, already performing the ceremony of a half-master.

Everyone was somewhat confused, but Ren Suxing understood in his heart. When he was collecting the Dao Profound Qi, Wei Yuan sensed it was him and specifically ordered a cultivator to lead him to a mystical realm. In the center of the mystical realm stood a statue of a girl. After Ren Suxing knelt and prayed according to the guidance, three wisps of azure Qi were added to his body.

If it weren't for the Qi luck adding to the body, the seven heavenly fire tribulations would have long ago turned Ren Suxing into fly ash.

After finishing the ceremony, Ren Suxing still wanted to say something, but someone said impatiently: "This uncle, please move aside; there are still many people waiting to cross the tribulation behind! You still have the aura of heavenly tribulation on you; standing here not only blocks the way but may also affect other people's heavenly tribulation."

Ren Suxing said sorry repeatedly and hurriedly left.

Then a middle-aged man in general's uniform entered the base, and half a day later, he successfully crossed the Five Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and also achieved Dharma Form.

In the Human Renjian Yanhuo, Wei Yuan was studying the one hundred and sixty-first array, when suddenly clouds gathered in front of him, dripping a few drops of azure rain, floating in front of him.

This kind of azure Qi luck, rich enough to turn into rain, must be from a Dharma Form cultivator, and it would only appear if they were extremely sincere. Even Wei Yuan was somewhat stunned, not understanding where this azure Qi came from.

But Wei Yuan felt that he had been doing good deeds recently... He spat several times, hurriedly removed this word from the dictionary, and then started thinking again: he had been setting an example for others recently and had done quite a few major things; it was only right that someone admired him.

However, Wei Yuan thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out who this level of azure luck would appear on. But these top-level azure lucks came just at the right time, so Wei Yuan flicked a drop onto the array in front of him.

That array structure, which was originally obscure and difficult to understand, like a heavenly book, instantly became clear and understandable. At a glance, he naturally knew what it meant. Wei Yuan looked at it carefully, and in a moment, he understood it in his heart. And after one array, this feeling still didn't fade. Wei Yuan learned more than ten arrays in one breath, and only then did his spiritual consciousness become dusty, returning to his original state.

After using up the three drops of top-level azure luck, Wei Yuan understood more than fifty sub-arrays in one breath, with progress far exceeding expectations.

Wei Yuan was focused on preparing for battle in the Human Renjian Yanhuo, but he didn't know that the Azure Void had long since boiled over. The appearance of Dao Profound Qi in the merit exchange was already shocking. Moreover, the price of such a supreme treasure was not very high; at least those who had been shouldering heavy responsibilities in the Azure Void from the beginning, and hadn't spent merit points on large purchases, had the ability to exchange for one wisp.

Thus, on the day the exchange was opened, eight wisps of Dao Profound Qi were exchanged away, immediately making other cultivators go crazy. Those who were just a little bit short tried every means to scrape together merit points, and all parties also came to the door, wanting to buy a wisp of Dao Profound Qi from them at a high price.

During these chaotic days, Xu Yi naturally had a wisp of Dao Profound Qi and successfully advanced to Dharma Form. Xu Waner followed closely behind; she had a wisp of Dao Profound Qi she exchanged herself, and also obtained a Dao Profound Qi privately gifted by Wei Yuan, finally making her root bone go one step further, and with a little luck, she also achieved Dharma Form.

Subsequently, Wei Yuan came out of seclusion, too busy to pay attention to the forces from all sides who wanted to seek an audience, and set off directly for the Northern Shanmen, rushing to the immortal battlefield.
