Chapter 187 Good Times, Bad Times, Kidnapping
Blue Star Island.

As the super-large island closest to the open sea in the Qixing Sea, everything on the island is so busy.

Even the immortal cultivators who seem to be highly respected by ordinary people in the outside world are just ordinary people who live a mediocre life here.

They still have to struggle for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but their situation is different from that of ordinary mortals who can only face the loess and back to the sky.

Unless one is a person who is obsessed with climbing the avenue to seek the so-called immortality and needs to risk his life to gamble for that ray of hope, otherwise as long as the cultivator is willing to settle down and live a stable life, even if it is only in the initial stage of Qi training, as long as he can ensure food and clothing for himself and his family, it will be no problem for him to live a life equivalent to that of an ordinary small landlord.

In fact, the latter number is the majority in this vast world of immortal cultivation.

After all, even if they cultivate immortality, most people are still just ordinary people.

After they reach the age of knowing the destiny, the independent cultivators who have given up hope of continuing to climb the path to immortality become more and more Buddhist.

This attitude of being content with poverty and enjoying life is somewhat consistent with the legendary state of freedom.

It was the morning market hour and some shops in the market had already started to close. The bustling atmosphere of the day was already beginning to take shape.

On the only road leading from the living area to the commercial area of ​​the city, many low-level cultivators have arrived pushing their own snack carts.

"Boss Sun, give me a bowl of wontons!"

At one of the wonton stalls, a rough-faced male cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining sat down carelessly, then waved and shouted to the owner of the wonton stall, while with his other hand he took out two fried crispy meat patties bought from the stall next door.

"Come on!"

Boss Sun is an old cultivator who is over seventy years old. His cultivation level is not high. Like the rough male cultivator, he is in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

After he passed the age of knowing the destiny, he let go of his obsession to continue climbing the Great Dao, but he did not have the talent for refining pills or drawing talismans, so he spent money to learn the most basic spiritual cooking skills and opened a snack stand here in the living area for casual cultivators.

There are many immortal cultivators like Boss Sun. It is because of their existence that the market in the immortal cultivation world has a more human touch, which soothes the hearts of the cultivators who have returned exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Hey, Boss Sun, don't be so stingy."

Seeing Boss Sun pouring a little MSG and pepper into the bowl, the burly male cultivator immediately shouted.

"The reason we come to eat here is because other places use ordinary MSG as a substitute for the good stuff, but you use the special MSG here, right? With just this little bit, how much flavor can I taste?"

"You don't understand! If you put too much, it will be bitter!"

Boss Sun rolled his eyes when he heard this and thought to himself, you know shit about this.

The price of Ling MSG is more than ten times that of ordinary MSG. If I sprinkle a little more on you, I will lose money in this business!

"Here it comes, Xiao Wu, take your time!"

After a while, Boss Sun brought over a large bowl of wontons.

Looking at the steaming wontons and the faint spiritual energy floating out of the bowl, Xiao Wu immediately became hungry.

He finished the fried meat patty in a few bites and then gulped down the soup.

"fresh!"

After finishing the food, Xiao Wu immediately let out a sigh of relief, attracting the attention of many diners at the nearby stalls.

Then, when they saw the faint spiritual energy floating in the bowl, they immediately showed envious eyes and felt that the food in their hands no longer tasted good.

Although the only thing emitting spiritual energy was MSG in the other person's bowl of wontons, but rounding it off, what he was eating was also a spiritual meal!

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xiao Wu said with emotion: "If I wanted to eat such delicious food in the past, I would have to go to a restaurant in the market and spend dozens of taels of silver to ask those spiritual chefs to cook two dishes for me. Now I only need to pour a little MSG..."

"That's right. I heard that all the big restaurants in the market have started to lay off employees. A while ago, a spiritual chef apprentice came to me and asked me about the market price of breakfast. It seems that it won't be long before there will be a few stalls opened by spiritual chef apprentices on our street." Boss Sun said as he worked busily.

"Then I'll have to try it."

Xiao Wu smiled, then took out some money from his pocket and put it on the chopping board, saying, "Here, let's settle the bill for this month's meal!"

Boss Sun took a closer look and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, have you made a fortune? You were hesitant and dodged when I asked you to settle the account before, but why are you so straightforward to pay me now?"

"You don't know?"

Xiao Wu said in amazement: "A few days ago, the store of the Jinxing Chamber of Commerce released news that the formula of the Soul Tempering Pill had been improved and the cost of the Soul Tempering Pill had been reduced. Now the efficacy of the Soul Tempering Pill of the Jinxing Chamber of Commerce is the same, but the price is only 70% of the previous price.

I bought a bottle to try, and it's pretty much what they advertised, so I have a lot more money now, so I can settle your bill."

"Seventy percent... I haven't practiced for a long time, so I'm not as interested in this thing as before."

Boss Sun paused, then weighed the money in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Why didn't I catch up with your good times..."

If he could have enjoyed the Soul Tempering Pill at 70% of its price when he was young, he would have had the resources to practice and reach a higher level.

Even if one still cannot establish a foundation, one can still hope for the late stage of Qi Refining.

What a pity...

Boss Sun smiled bitterly, then threw the two silver coins into the cash box.

There are many examples like Boss Sun and Xiao Wu among the lower-level cultivators.

After learning about the big price reduction of the Soul Tempering Pill, many elderly people expressed their feelings at the same time, while the young people were even more excited.

After all, they are the direct beneficiaries.

Being able to buy the Soul Tempering Pill at a lower price means that they can make further progress on the path to becoming an immortal, gaining greater power and a longer life.

This is a temptation that every young and energetic cultivator cannot resist, and it even attracts some old people who are about to give up hope to decide to give it one more try and strive for a second spring.

But compared to the revelry of the lower-level cultivators, the low-priced Soul Tempering Pills launched by the Venus Chamber of Commerce made it difficult for the forces in the surrounding seas that also ran the Soul Tempering Pill business.

Because they found that the Soul Tempering Pill launched by the Venus Chamber of Commerce was not only cheap.

There are still a lot of them.

It’s like they’ll never sell out!
You know, even for a force like theirs that employs tens of thousands of low-level alchemists, the number of Soul Tempering Pills they produce every day is limited. However, compared to the huge group of independent cultivators, it can be said that they will never have trouble selling their Soul Tempering Pills.

Therefore, they often raise prices using various excuses, such as problems with raw materials, alchemists taking sick leave due to collective food poisoning, cargo ships being hijacked by monsters at sea, and so on.

Don't be unconvinced by this.

If you don’t buy it, there are plenty of people who will!

But the situation is different now.

Because the price was only 70% of the previous price, the Soul Tempering Pills from the Venus Chamber of Commerce soon saw a buying spree. Many people, with the mentality that they would miss it if they missed it, spent a lot of their savings to stock up as many pills as possible for future use.

But no matter how many people come, the Venus Chamber of Commerce can provide enough Soul Tempering Pills.

Some forces even specially allocated a sum of money to buy up all the Soul Tempering Pills from the Venus Chamber of Commerce stores in their own territories, hoping to hoard them and make a fortune by buying low and selling high during the period when the Venus Chamber of Commerce was short of Soul Tempering Pills.

However, within two days, the shelves of the Venus Chamber of Commerce store were filled with Soul Tempering Pills again. After this happened again and again, these forces lost all their money!
After learning from their mistakes, these forces quickly stepped up their efforts to infiltrate the Venus Chamber of Commerce, and some even went so far as to use their own undercover agents within the Venus Chamber of Commerce at all costs.

He must obtain the improved version of the Soul Tempering Pill formula from the Venus Chamber of Commerce.

After all, in the eyes of many forces, it is impressive that the Venus Chamber of Commerce has produced so many Soul Tempering Pills, but that also requires a large number of low-level alchemists to refine the pills. As long as the number of people is large, there will be loopholes, which will give them an opportunity to take advantage of!

However, after several months of this, the leaders of many forces only got the news that the improved Soul Tempering Pill was jointly developed by True Lord Huaizhu and her husband True Lord Zhang.

As for what the recipe is.

No one knows.

Because the refining of this new Soul Tempering Pill had never been done by these low-level alchemists.

They even checked the purchasing records of the Venus Chamber of Commerce and did not find any different kinds of spiritual medicine appearing on the purchase list.

Now these forces are emo.

Looking at the crowded shops under the Venus Chamber of Commerce, all the forces felt like their hearts were bleeding!

Watching him make money is more painful than losing money yourself!

The people in power in these forces don't know this.

Times have changed.

The Venus Chamber of Commerce has abandoned the backward small-workshop production method and transformed into industrialized production of elixirs.

At least that's the case with the Soul Tempering Pill.

The power of industry is strong.

Even if craftsmen working in small workshops have good skills and work hard, their production efficiency cannot catch up with that of industrialized production lines.

For example, now, Zhang Wei has successfully synthesized the Soul Tempering Pill.

It only takes him half a month to assemble a production line for Quenching Spirit Pills. Once it goes into production, it can replace the work of thousands of beginner alchemists who work around the clock.

If we could find some high-level equipment refiners to help, the construction of these production lines could be even faster.

Zhang Wei built thirty such production lines!
This is equivalent to more than 30,000 alchemists refining Soul-Quenching Pills day and night, and the number of Soul-Quenching Pills produced every day reaches 300,000!
With this quantity and production efficiency, even if all the junior alchemists trained by other forces were trained together until they vomited blood, they still couldn’t compare to this!
Of course, these alchemists have an advantage over spiritual chefs.

That means you won’t be laid off.

Even if they cannot refine the Soul Tempering Pill, these beginner alchemists can still refine other pills to continue to generate income for their own forces.

In the world of cultivating immortals, treasures such as elixirs, weapons, talismans and arrays will never have trouble selling.

This is how craftsmen survive in years of famine.

Unless Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu can continue to master the chemical synthesis methods of other elixirs and incorporate other elixirs into industrial production to further squeeze the living space of low-level alchemists, these people will always live a comfortable life.

But Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu will not continue to focus on these low-level pills.

Next they will try to conquer those more advanced elixirs!
After all, the reason why they engage in chemical synthesis and alchemy is, in the final analysis, just to mass-produce those difficult-to-obtain high-level cultivation resources for themselves.

If you put your energy into these low-level elixirs just to make money, that would be putting the cart before the horse and would not be beneficial to your own practice.

However, having said that, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu have also demonstrated the success of chemical synthesis alchemy with practical actions. If this technology is not used properly, it would be a waste to only use it to produce low-level elixirs such as the Quenching Spirit Pill.

However, the research and development of just a first-grade intermediate-quality elixir had taken several years of energy from him and Huai Zhu, two high-level cultivators. The research and development of more advanced elixirs would probably take even longer.

Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu alone are unable to handle the workload.

and so……

"Chemistry is a basic natural science that studies the composition, structure, properties, transformation and application of matter at the atomic and molecular levels..."

Deep in the heart of Venus Island, in a spacious and bright classroom hastily built, Huai Zhu was giving lectures to a group of carefully selected alchemists, while Zhang Wei was conducting some basic experiments with another group of students in another classroom.

He has no intention of keeping it to himself.

After all, chemical synthesis alchemy is different from the plug-ins used by many of my fellow time travelers. It is a science.

If he wants to bring out its true value, he has to recruit enough scientific researchers... colleagues, and everyone has to communicate with each other and work together!
Of course, Zhang Wei would not be so foolish as to openly and selflessly share this technology. This is not the way to seek death.

Therefore, every alchemist who enters this place is at least a third-level alchemist. They know each other's background well and have signed a spiritual contract. They are only brought in after restrictions are placed on their souls.

"At this rate, it won't take a few years for these people to become masters, and then help me develop the industrial preparation of Thunder Source Pills..."

In Huaizhu's cave, the second body Zhang Wei saw the students who were diligently taking notes behind him through the vision and thinking sharing with the original body, and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Although he is still a little petty at present, his actions are truly advancing the progress of the times in the world of immortal cultivation.

To be honest, it is not an exaggeration for him to call himself a person who changed the world.

Human needs include material needs and spiritual needs.

After material needs are met, people will eagerly desire spiritual satisfaction.

And now, Zhang Wei is satisfied.

He was happy and enjoying it.

Dong Dong Dong————

Suddenly, the restrictions of the cave were activated. Zhang Wei used his spiritual sense to take a look and found that it was a female cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan realm named Wu Xiang from the Jinxing Chamber of Commerce.

The other party comes from a family within the Chamber of Commerce. She grew up in the Venus Chamber of Commerce and is considered a senior sister to Huaizhu.

It's just that the relationship is not that good.

Moreover, Zhang Wei remembered that he had never had any contact with Wu Xiang.

What is the other party doing here?
After thinking about it, Zhang Wei used his electromagnetic power to distort the surrounding light, allowing the unobservable second body to reveal its shape. This appearance was exactly the image of "Son of Huaizhu" that Zhang Wei had always used before.

Then he stood up and walked out of the cave, asking, "Greetings, Senior Wu Xiang. What can I do for you?"

"You are Zhang Zijie. You have grown so big after not seeing you for so many years?"

Wu Xiang said this politely, but there was a special coldness in his words.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Come with me. Your parents want to see you for something. Let me come and pick you up."

"Ok?"

Zhang Wei was startled.

Master Huaizhu and I are looking for me?

I do not know how?
There is something wrong with Wu Xiang.

But Zhang Wei did not directly ask his original body to bring Huaizhu back.

After all, if this kind of thing is not caught in the act, if the other party refuses to admit it, Zhang Wei will have no choice, and it will also expose the existence of his second body.

In addition, his second body is quite powerful, and he has stored magic weapons in the Thunder Yuan Pearl of Datiandu, so he is not afraid of Wu Xiang and Zhang Wei who are in the middle stage of Jindan.

So he pretended to agree and let Wu Xiang take him away and leave the area of ​​Venus Island.

After leaving the area of ​​Venus Island, Zhang Wei said belatedly, "No, this is not the way to find my parents! Where are you taking me, Senior Wu Xiang?"

Wu Xiang sneered, "As expected of that woman's son, he is quite smart. If it were any other disciple who had practiced hard for many years and had no contact with the outside world, he would have probably screamed in fear."

Zhang Wei asked: "Are you an undercover sent by other forces?!"

Wu Xiang shook his head and said disdainfully: "Of course not, I was born and raised in the Venus Chamber of Commerce, and my foundation is much stronger than a wild child like you!"

Zhang Wei frowned and said, "What do you want to do?!"

"What?"

Wu Xiang smiled coldly and said, "Of course, it is to let the real owner of the Venus Chamber of Commerce come back!"

"The real master?"

Zhang Wei was puzzled.

Wu Xiang reminded: "Of course it's Senior Brother Tianqu!"

Zhang Wei was surprised and said, "You are from Tianqu!"

Well, the love triangle has turned into a love quadrangle!

"Correct."

Teacher Wu Xiang shouted angrily: "That woman took away everything from Senior Brother Tianqu, even his heart! Why! What's so good about her! Even though she is a married woman, he still can't forget your slut mother!"

As he spoke, Wu Xiang released the golden elixir's pressure, intending to vent his anger on Zhang Wei.

However, what responded to her was an extremely small fist!

"roll!"

boom----

The air exploded instantly, and the aura of this female cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage was shattered. Her originally bulging chest was directly dented by Zhang Wei's small fist.

swoosh————

Wu Xiang was knocked down from the sky by Zhang Wei's punch, and then fell headfirst into the sea, splashing up a huge wave.

However, Zhang Wei also jumped directly from the sky, and his whole body turned into a straight five-colored lightning and rushed into the seabed. Wu Xiang, who had not yet stabilized his body, stepped into the seabed!
"puff----"

A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Wu Xiang looked at the young man bathed in terrifying five-colored thunder and said in shock: "How... How is it possible?! You... You are Jindan?! No, you are not Zhang Zijie, you are his father!"

The Jindan female cultivator reacted immediately and activated several talismans in her hand.

I saw a huge golden net instantly covering Zhang Wei's body. At this time, a small green sword flew out from the exploding mud and sand. Judging from its power, it was obviously a fourth-grade magic weapon.

However, Zhang Wei just shook it slightly, and a five-colored lightning shield bounced it away.

"What?!" Wu Xiang said in shock.

Just using the lightning transformed from magic power to deflect her magic weapon?
What a joke!
Wu Xiang's face changed, and then he activated the jade pendant on his chest again, and then released his spiritual thoughts to disrupt Zhang Wei's soul.

And that jade pendant magic weapon was obviously a special magic weapon that had an amplifying effect on divine consciousness. After being amplified by the jade pendant, the divine consciousness power of the middle stage of the Golden Core actually had a power comparable to that of the late stage of the Golden Core.

However, it is still not good enough in front of Zhang Wei.

At the moment when Wu Xiang released her spiritual thoughts, two black holes appeared in front of her eyes, swallowing up a large piece of her spiritual thoughts!

“Puff——”

Wu Xiang's soul was hurt and he spat out blood again.

How... How is it possible...

I am in the middle stage of the Golden Core, and he is in the early stage. How come I am the one who gets hurt in the competition of spiritual thoughts?
Seeing that all his methods had failed, Wu Xiang couldn't believe it in his heart, but he still immediately activated a long-treasured teleportation talisman and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Want to escape?!"

Zhang Wei's eyes focused, and with five-colored lightning flashing all over his body, he forcibly broke free from the magic chains on his body, which had a binding force comparable to that of a fourth-grade primary magic weapon.

Then his divine consciousness turned into tentacles and quickly swept over an area of ​​seven or eight hundred miles, and soon found the escaped Wu Xiang.

Zhang Wei took a step forward and performed the space shift technique for more than ten times, and came directly behind the frightened Wu Xiang.

"what?"

Wu Xiang looked at Zhang Wei behind him in shock.

It would have been fine if Zhang Wei's spiritual power was far superior to hers, but he was able to find her in an instant even though she had used a teleportation talisman to escape thousands of miles away!

Is this a golden elixir or an infant?
But Wu Xiang would not sit still and wait for death. The moment he discovered Zhang Wei, he immediately released his own magic weapon to resist Zhang Wei's attack.

It was a small green flag that released a light full of vitality and turned into an energy shield to block the female cultivator.

Judging from the energy fluctuations, this is also a fourth-order mid-grade natal magic weapon.

But you think you can stop me with just a fourth-grade mid-quality magic weapon?

Zhang Wei stretched out his hand, and the Five Elements of Yang Thunder instantly surged out of his body, forming a five-colored thunder seal in the deep sea!
Small Five Elements Heavenly Capital Thunder Seal!
fall!
boom! ! ! ! !
It was as if a five-colored meteorite fell down with a loud bang. Wu Xiang's green flag didn't even last for a moment before it shattered. The small Five Elements Heavenly Capital Thunder Seal, which only weakened the next layer, continued to move forward with unabated force and directly hit the body of the Jindan female cultivator who was still hoping for a lucky break!
“Ah ...

When the Five Elements' most yang thunder struck, the body of this female Jindan cultivator was like a flattened rag doll, sinking deeply into the mud on the seabed.

The terrifying power unleashed by Zhang Wei's Five Elements Heavenly Capital Thunder Seal caused the surrounding sea water to vibrate continuously, making the sea surface within dozens of miles above boil.

Slowly, the sea returned to calm.

Zhang Wei grabbed Wu Xiang's head which was stuck in the mud and sand, and then took out several of his magic weapons that specialized in attacking the soul.

The sounds of the soul resounded through the seabed, and soon the soul and mind of this Jindan female cultivator were vibrating under the power of these three fourth-tier magic weapons, and the defense of her soul was greatly reduced.

At this point, the true picture of the electromagnetic avenue emerged in Zhang Wei's eyes.

"Well----"

Wu Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, and she stared at Zhang Wei in front of her with horror. Under the invasion of Zhang Wei's electromagnetic thoughts, she soon began to bleed from all seven orifices, and her eyes were filled with scarlet blood.

Her soul and body were severely damaged, and she was unable to resist Zhang Wei's electromagnetic attack. Soon, all her memories of recent years were dug out by Zhang Wei!

However, compared to the Foundation Establishment and Purple Palace, Wu Xiang, as a Jindan cultivator, was obviously more resistant. He just fainted and was not directly turned into a fool by Zhang Wei's electromagnetic divine consciousness.

After reading the other party's memory, Zhang Wei murmured: "So that's how it is..."

Just as he guessed, the Jindan female cultivator named Wu Xiang in front of him was indeed in a love triangle with Tianqu, Huaizhu and Chen Tao.

Tianqu and Chen Tao like his master Huaizhu, while Wu Xiang likes Tianqu and has had sex with him dozens of times.

However, every time Wu Xiang wanted to take the relationship a step further, Tianqu rejected her, saying that it was just for cultivation.

Damn, scumbag.

But Wu Xiang was like a possessed person, his heart was obsessed with Tianqu, and he still couldn't forget him even after the other party betrayed Venus Island.

A few years ago, when his master Huaizhu was holding the Yuanying Ceremony, he acted as an insider and placed the Tianqu into the treasury of Venus Island, assisting him in quietly taking away a treasure collected by Venus Island!
Now, Tianqu has found Wu Xiang again and asked her to bring his "Son of Huaizhu" over.

As for the purpose, he didn't say it, but Wu Xiang was too lazy to ask and agreed without thinking. Then he waited for half a year before he got the chance to separate from Huaizhu.

Then he immediately took action on himself and planned to go to a place called Qianyun Island and hand himself over to Tianqu who was hiding there.

"Good guy, he's still in love. But this Qianyun Island seems somewhat familiar." Zhang Wei touched his chin and thought.

After a while, he remembered that this was the place where Guo Yang took him to earn extra money when he was short of money after breaking through the fake pill.
