Chapter 42: Confrontation before the pass

Wei Wuxian sat in the Jade Bottle Pass for a week, and after basically getting familiar with the entire process and personnel, he quietly went to the lip tower in Qingyefang City on the day of rest and exchanged for 9,700 points.

Among them, it takes 500 lower-grade yuan crystals to complete the [Five Elements Formula], 300 are reserved for Huang Chong, and the remaining 170 lower-grade yuan crystals are left, these yuan crystals should be left for daily cultivation, it seems that there are a lot of yuan crystals in their hands, but they are actually tight.

Coming out of Qingyefang City, Wei Wuxian didn't stop walking, and came directly to Qingyang Sect, first met with Jing Baihong, and then went to Lingzhi Institute to go through the delivery procedures.

Peng Shuangquan was very reluctant to withdraw from the Spirit Plant Courtyard for a while, and seeing his resolute attitude, he had no choice but to let him go.

Wei Wuxian returned to the state before entering the Lingzhi Courtyard, registered his name in the outer gate of the Qingyang Sect, received the monthly example of this month (ten lower-grade Yuanjing and three Yuanqi Pills), and finally came to Fang City, and returned the three hundred lower-grade Yuanjing to Huang Chong, and then hurried back to the Jade Bottle Pass.

It took Wei Wuxian a day and a half to go back and forth from the Jade Bottle Pass to the Qingyang Sect, and after returning to the camp tent, he began to check the current state of the ancient mirror.

[Five Elements Formula]: The Five Elements Exercises, extremely incomplete, can be completed with five hundred first-grade crystal silks.

The host has crystalline filaments: eight hundred and sixteen first-grade crystals

Host Remaining Lifespan: 40 years (plus 5 years for the next level)

Wei Wuxian did not hesitate, and directly chose to complete the fifth layer of the [Five Elements Technique].

After the five breaths, he withdrew from the ancient mirror, and the changes in the fifth layer of the [Five Elements Jue] were larger than the previous four layers, and it felt a little unrecognizable.

The symbol of the fifth layer of the Qi refining period is the control of things, and at this stage, the Yuan Power in the monk's body can be released, and the imperial envoy will fly swords and magic weapons.

The fifth layer of the ordinary [Five Elements Formula] corresponds to this layer, but the fifth layer of the new [Five Elements Formula] that has been completed has reached the level of gathering energy.

Gathering Qi into a Gang Gang refers to the condensation of Yuan Force into a Gang Shield, which is also known as the 'Yuan Light Shield', which can resist the attacks of ordinary weapons and spells. Condensing the Yuan Light Shield requires a huge amount of Yuan Force as a foundation, and it cannot be done until the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and it is a sign that only the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period can have.

Wei Wuxian participated in the reorganization of the fifth layer of the entire [Five Elements Technique], of course, he knew the power of its reorganization, a [Five Elements Technique] that is now called garbage is so powerful, not to mention other spells, what kind of era was it, and what kind of incredible realm the ancient cultivation reached at that time, which made him very fascinated.

Back to reality, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi near the Jade Bottle Pass is slightly stronger than that of the Yanzhou Palace, but it is still far from the Qingyang Sect, so Wei Wuxian's cultivation can only rely on absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in the Yuan Crystal to cultivate the fifth layer of the [Five Elements Technique], and he needs to use one lower grade Yuan Crystal every day, and he needs thirty pieces a month, this kind of consumption is not something that ordinary Qi refining period cultivators can bear.

However, because of this, with the massive use of Yuan Jing, he made rapid progress, and it only took a month and a half to achieve a preliminary small success, and he could already condense a Yuan Light Shield a few feet in front of him.

On this day, he practiced his sword alone in the mountains, and with a movement of his mind, the sword flew out of the sheath, and in the control of his sword fingers, he either stabbed forward, or chopped, or flirted, and was ever-changing, extremely fast.

The quality of the sword weapon he got was good, and he sacrificed a 'sharp gold forbidden', which can send out three sharp gold sword rays after being stimulated.

It is also very depleting to activate this prohibition of Yuan Force, and with his current cultivation, he can only use it once a day.

Just when Wei Wuxian was cultivating the fifth layer of the [Five Elements Technique] and practicing the imperial sword technique, Great Xia sent envoys into the Northern Barbarians to go to Dadu for peace talks with the will of Emperor Xia, and this time it would decide whether the two sides would fight or make peace, attracting the attention of the entire Great Xia people.

Wei Wuxian also paid a lot of attention to this, and it was of course best if the peace talks were successful, otherwise the Jade Bottle Pass on the border would become one of the targets of the attack of the northern barbarians on the opposite side.

On the third day of the ninth month, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and a caravan came from the direction of Hulukou.

The caravan consisted of twelve carriages, large in scale, led by a young man and a middle-aged Confucian scholar, and more than 100 people escorted the carriages, all of them were strong and powerful.

The caravan soon arrived at the Jade Bottle Pass, and a guard was just about to come forward to investigate, but was stopped by the people on the side.

"That's the caravan of the Kyoto royal family!"

The guard was a recruit who came this time, although he didn't know anything about the royal family in the capital, but when he saw Yang Peng, the captain of his team, stepped forward in a low voice to salute the leading young man, he knew that the person who came was not trivial.

Yang Peng estimated that there should be two taels of silver in his arms, and happily took the customs merchant to go up to the city tower, and the commander or deputy commander on duty needed to sign for the entry and exit of the business.

"My lord, this is the business certificate of the Kyoto Daitoyo, please sign it. ”

Wei Wuxian glanced at the merchant slip and the manifest, which recorded tea, lacquerware, and porcelain.

"You've all checked?"

"Checked, no problem!" Yang Peng smiled and rubbed his hands.

Wei Wuxian glanced at him, but did not sign the charge, but walked out: "Go and see." ”

Yang Peng's expression on his face froze, so he had to go down with him.

The young man at the head waited a little impatiently, and when he saw Yang Peng coming down, he said unhappily: "Why is it so long?"

"Wang Gongzi, this is our commander Lord Wei!" Yang Peng hurriedly introduced.

The prince glanced contemptuously at Wei Wuxian on the side, how could he look down on an unpopular military attache with his identity, he didn't even get off the horse, and said lightly: "It turns out that you are the new commander of the Jade Bottle Pass, can my goods go?"

"Let's go..." Wei Wuxian swept his eyes and pressed the deeper wheel mark on the ground and said coldly: "Check it for me!"

Those soldiers were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Yang Peng, the corners of Yang Peng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to do at this moment, but when he saw Wei Wuxian's sharp eyes, he hurriedly took the lead to check the car.

"You dare!" the young man's face changed, and as he spoke, more than a dozen men in the car stood in front of him.

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "What, you can't rush through the level?"

The middle-aged Confucian who had been beside the young man got off his horse and arched his hand towards Wei Wuxian: "Commander Wei, there is something to say, there is something to say, how about we go and talk?"

Wei Wuxian stood with his hands in his hands: "There is nothing to say to people, if you have something to say, you can say it here." ”

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged Confucian student, last time it was Liu Tiegun, but he didn't expect the new commander to be equally ignorant of current affairs, and he held back the anger in his heart and said: "Ding Hui, the third steward of the Mansion of the Lower Kingdom, that is the nephew and young master in the mansion, I don't know that Wei commands the new official to take office, please forgive me." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket and handed it over.

Wei Wuxian swept his eyes and didn't pick it up: "You're done?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar's hand froze there, and Mu Ran looked at Wei Wuxian opposite.

"Hmph, continue to search for me, if anyone dares to obstruct it, there will be no mercy!" Wei Wuxian turned around and ignored the middle-aged Confucian who was standing in place, and ordered a search again.
