Water Refining Method, Core Formation Grand Ceremony

One day, Wei Zhong sat on a cliff beside Black Lake Island, hand forming a seal.

Below, a rapidly spinning whirlpool churned in the lake water. As Wei Zhong's hand seals quickened, the whirlpool spun even faster.

Suddenly, Wei Zhong stopped his movements, struck his chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, casting it into the swirling vortex.

Wei Zhong rose, his hands forming a grasping gesture, lifting upwards.

"Rise!"

A black orb the size of a fist flew out, landing in Wei Zhong's hand.

A smile appeared on Wei Zhong's face:

"Yuan Water Pearl, finally complete."

These days, Wei Zhong had sat here on this cliff, failing a full five times before finally succeeding in condensing this secret treasure's prototype.

The expended blood essence had left Wei Zhong pale, but fortunately, it was a success.

He was fortunate to have chosen this second-order spirit land; otherwise, relying solely on the spiritual power within Wei Zhong's body, he didn't know how long he would have had to wait to successfully condense it.

Feeling the Yuan Water Pearl's close connection to him, far surpassing that of spirit pets and Magical Artifacts, this is the secret treasure recorded in the Spring Autumn Water Refining Art? Truly extraordinary.

Wei Zhong could sense that as he circulated his cultivation method, the Yuan Water Pearl was simultaneously absorbing external spiritual energy and water power to strengthen itself.

With such constant refinement, the Yuan Water Pearl's power would grow greater and greater. When Wei Zhong entered Core Formation, he could further refine it, transforming it into his own Natal Magic Treasure.

Water Refining Art, Water Refining Art, could it be that it refines this water?

Wei Zhong casually tossed the Yuan Water Pearl in his hand, and it immediately smashed a hole in the hard rock.

The Yuan Water Pearl has just been refined, and its weight is still insufficient.

Wei Zhong picked it up, flipped his sleeve, and the black water pearl instantly disappeared.

Looking at the distant lake scenery, Wei Zhong murmured:

"After so many days, Luo Mingyan should have brought the message, right? The Pill Refining Method will be delivered soon."

Sure enough, two streaks of light arrived in a few days.

Luo Mingyan and Shen Yuqi appeared.

Wei Zhong's hearty voice immediately echoed from within Black Lake Island:

"You two have come from afar, please come in quickly."

The two cupped their hands and landed in the courtyard.

As usual, there was a banquet of wine, spiritual food.

After chatting for a while, the three began to discuss serious matters.

Shen Yuqi spoke first:

"Hearing that Fellow Daoist Chu promised the Pill Refining Method, I specifically brought two Pill Refining Arts this time."

Having said this, two Jade Slips flew out from his sleeve, floating in the air.

Wei Zhong was slightly surprised, and checked the two methods one by one. One Jade Slip was a traditional fire refining pill method, which could reach the second level. The other Jade Slip was somewhat special, it was actually the Water Refining Method, a peculiar refining method.

"These two pill refining techniques, one of them can be regarded as offsetting the favor of the Green Vine Intoxication from before. As for the other one, I would like to exchange it for the improved Green Vine Intoxication recipe in your possession, Fellow cultivator."

Shen Yuqi had heard Luo Mingyan say that the Green Vine Intoxication had been improved to the peak of the first level, and he was overjoyed. The income created by the ordinary version of Green Vine Intoxication was already enough to offset the cost of his pill refining. What about the upgraded version?

So he specially selected two pill refining methods to exchange for the wine recipe in Wei Zhong's hands.

After years of training, Shen Yuqi has successfully advanced from a first-level Pill Master to a second-level Pill Master. He also has a very deep understanding of the medicinal properties of various Spirit Herbs, and coupled with brewing Spirit Wine for a period of time, he can be regarded as a half brewing expert.

It is not impossible for him to rely on his foundation of second-level pill refining to promote it to a second-level wine recipe.

The value of this kind of cheap body refining item that almost breaks the common sense of the cultivation world is unimaginable.

Wei Zhong did not hesitate at all, and took out the improved version of the Green Vine Intoxication wine recipe that he had already recorded, and handed it to Shen Yuqi.

Anyway, he could spend some time at most to improve this wine recipe again and upgrade it to the second level, so he didn't feel much heartache. Of course, he wouldn't tell the two people in front of him about this.

Shen Yuqi took the wine recipe and scanned it with his Divine Sense, with a look of surprise on his face:

"I didn't expect there to be such a wonderful technique, Fellow cultivator Chu is truly a brewing genius!"

Over the years, Shen Yuqi has also tried to improve the wine recipe, but either the failure reduced the medicinal effect, or it improved the medicinal effect a little, but greatly increased the cost, losing the advantage of Green Vine Intoxication's low cost and high return.

Now, seeing Wei Zhong's improvement plan, he felt it was even more wonderful.

"Where, where, Fellow cultivator Shen is too polite."

Wei Zhong was thinking in his heart that the cultivators in this world mainly cultivate Spirit techniques because they have sufficient Spirit technique resources.

In comparison, body refining resources are insufficient, which leads to various treasures such as Spirit Pills and Spirit Liquids required for various body refining methods being very expensive.

This is the reason why Green Vine Intoxication is so precious.

It seems that we still need to be cautious when manufacturing second-level Green Vine Intoxication in the future.

The two sides put away their favorite items, raised their glasses and began to drink freely. When the matter was over, Luo Mingyan handed out a golden invitation.

Wei Zhong took it and asked in confusion:

"What is this?"

The latter said with a smile:

"Yao ZhengSheng, the First Disciple of this sect, has successfully formed his Core, and we specially invite Fellow cultivator to attend the Core Formation Grand Ceremony in a month."

Wei Zhong was shocked when he heard this. This generation of disciples from the Azurewood Sect has already produced a Core Formation?

Seeing Wei Zhong in a daze, Luo Mingyan cupped his hands:

"Then the two of us will leave now, and we will meet Fellow cultivator again at the Azurewood Sect's mountain gate in the near future."

Wei Zhong cupped his hands in return:

"In a month, Chu Zhong will definitely visit."

The two then turned into two rays of light and left Black Lake Island.

Wei Zhong watched the departing figures of the two, recalling the First Disciple of Core Formation, and a bitter feeling couldn't help but rise in his heart.

My aptitude is poor, I don't know how long I'll have to endure before I can hope for Core Formation. Time, time, what I need most is time.

A streak of black light flew from Wei Zhong's sleeve, crossed the cliff of Black Lake Island, and landed in the nearby Sea Moon Lake. Da Jin sensed the black water pearl that retained its master's aura, drove away all the surrounding water beasts, and guarded it.

Wei Zhong entered the Grotto-heaven and began his arduous cultivation after taking a medicinal pill.

The Yuan Water Pearl in the lake simultaneously began to absorb spiritual energy and lake water to replenish itself.

When cultivation became dull, Wei Zhong would take out the newly acquired pill formulas and carefully study them, or enjoy a moment of pleasure with the maids on the island.

Li Family,

"Patriarch, the Yan Family has withdrawn from Mian Ya Mountain."

Li Ren was overjoyed upon hearing this. Mian Ya Mountain was located on a peninsula of Sea Moon Lake.

It was rich in non-ranked Spirit Herbs, which were extremely suitable for raising first-order Spirit Beasts.

It was originally the territory of the Li Family, but after the Li Family suffered a severe blow in earlier years, it was seized by the Yan Family.

This seizure lasted for more than a decade, and now it had returned to the Li Family's hands so easily.

Li Ren understood that it was not the Li Family's strength that had forced the Yan Family to retreat, but entirely due to the Li Family's guest elder, Senior Chu Zhong.

Thinking of the people who had recently visited Black Lake Island, they were two First Disciples from the Azurewood Sect, figures who would not normally deign to glance at forces like the Li Family.

They had visited Black Lake Island several times, the strength of this Senior Chu was truly unfathomable.

"Quickly send more beautiful women from the clan over."

It was unknown what kind of misunderstanding Li Ren had about Wei Zhong to have such thoughts.

Wei Zhong, seeing the many new women who had arrived, asked Xie Linghua with some confusion:

"Why would the Li Family send so many women here?"

The latter smiled upon hearing this:

"Who told Master to be so kind-hearted, keeping so many women on Black Lake Island, the Li Family must think that Master is a lecherous person."

Wei Zhong touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. Although there were many women on Black Lake Island, only three, including Xie Linghua, had an actual relationship with Wei Zhong.

The rest were working on the island, managing affairs.

It was just that the treatment was better than in the Li Family, which was why so many had stayed.

Wei Zhong instructed Xie Linghua:

"You should control it a little, so many people, Black Lake Island can't bear it.

Also, inform the Li Family that this Daoist is not a person who indulges in lust, instead of doing these things, they should provide some Spirit Herb seedlings to Black Lake Island, Black Lake Island is in dire need of these."

"Yes, Master!"
