I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 330 Bottleneck lowered, opportunity to escape (4k2 words, please subscribe)
  Five days passed in a flash.

The day came when Wei Tu and Sun Chixin agreed to go to the black market in Xiantao City.

According to Sun Chixin's previous explanation, Wei Tu came to a residence in the west city of Xiantao City.

He turned his palm and took out the white token, and poured several mana into it.

In an instant, the white token sent a signal, pointing to a Buddhist temple not far away.

There are many Buddhist sects in Liaozhou, and Jinglian Temple is the well-deserved top power in Xiantao City. Therefore, in Xiantao City, there is almost a Buddhist temple every [-] steps.

There is nothing unusual about a Buddhist temple in Xiantao City or in Liaozhou.

"Buddhist temple?" After hesitating for a moment, Wei Tu did not enter rashly and continued to wait for Sun Chixin.

The black market is an underground transaction, and strangers are the most taboo.

Going to the black market area alone without an acquaintance to guide you can easily lead to trouble.

call!
  At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the air outside the door of the residence, and a masked monk in a cloak flew in.

His body shape is similar to that of Sun Chixin.

"Follow me." Sun Chixin's words were simple. He walked into the depths of the residence and inserted a spell into the white token on his hand.

The white token cast a ray of light, which shone on the wall of the residence.

In an instant, the phantom formation on the wall of the residence was solved, revealing a hidden corner of the scenery.

It's probably the long corridor of a deep house.

"Not a Buddhist temple?"

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was startled.

He thought the black market was in the Buddhist temple where the white token was detected, but he never thought that it was in the residential house where he was.

This time, he was also darkened by the light.

Wei Tu guessed that this might be a test for him by Sun Chixin or the person in charge of the black market to see if he was cautious and knew how to abide by the rules.

After all, the black market cannot see the light of day.

Once someone who behaves impetuously knows about it, there is inevitably a risk of it being leaked.

Waited for a while.

The illusion formation was completely unraveled.

Wei Tu saw clearly the face of the mysterious black market.

This corridor is about several hundred meters long, and every ten steps there is an open-air stall selling various spiritual items, including elixirs, magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, etc.

But there were not many customers in the black market. According to Wei Tu, there were less than a hundred people.

However, in terms of quality, the black market customers who come and go are quite good.

More than [-]% are in the late stage of foundation building realm.

The rest of the monks are all golden elixirs, and none of them are junior qi practitioners.

Obviously, the entry threshold for this black market is the late stage of foundation building.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, after changing into this set of clothes, follow me in."

Sun Chixin took out a black cloak of the same style as his and threw it to Wei Tu.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Chi."

Wei Tu thanked him, and when he saw that there was no hidden hand in the black cloak, he put it on his body.

The black cloak is made of a special material that can isolate the monk's spiritual consciousness, and it also comes with a small spell to hide the face.

Although this item cannot be compared with the "shadow cloak" carefully crafted by Demon Lord Guiluo, it is enough for black market transactions.

"I said hello to Senior Xing, and I will be the guarantor for this black market transaction..."

Before entering the trading corridor, Sun Chixin reminded Wei Tu.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Chi, Fang will not miss your share of the introduction fee this time... Besides, I'm still temporarily living in the Lingfu courtyard of the Fu family. I can run away from the monks, but I can't run away from the temple."

Wei Tu smiled and replied.

When Sun Chixin heard this, he felt relieved and led Wei Tu into the black market.

There seemed to be some kind of formation barrier between the residence and the trading corridor. After Wei Tu and Sun Chixin entered, the monks in the corridor noticed the two of them.

Sun Chixin was accustomed to it and ignored the gazes of others. He silently stepped forward to lead Wei Tu to a stall filled with elixirs.

At this time, Wei Tu handed Sun Chixin a list of the elixirs he needed, and then Sun Chixin was responsible for negotiating the price with the stall owner in front of him.

The price of elixirs is high and low, and they can be found in official elixir shops.

As long as the transaction price is lower than the market price, that is the profit for Wei Tu, the "merchant".

"Gengyinhua, fragrant ginseng..."

Sun Chixin was slightly startled. On the list of elixirs, he saw the names of several elixirs that were common in recent days.

These elixirs were not the latest hot sellers of Wansheng Trading Company, but they were found by the Fu family and may provide clues to Yi Yun.

——Six days ago, a foreign monk suspected to be named Yi inquired about the prices of these elixirs at Ye's elixir shop.

According to the guide Niu Cobalt, the appearance of this man named Yi was the same as that of Yi Yun.

"Could it be that Fang Hanliang is Yi Yun?"

Sun Chixin's eyes flickered.

The number of elixirs on the elixir list is messy, but these few elixirs are mixed in and are not outstanding. This alone does not prove that Wei Tu is Yi Yun who is wanted by the Fu family.

This is just a guess and an intuition on his part.

"But now I'm on a pirate ship, looking for customers from a private trading firm to trade elixirs in the black market... This is a taboo in the industry..."

Sun Chixin shook his head.

Interests are involved, and he and Wei Tu are now a grasshopper on the same rope.

Telling Wei Tu to the Fu family was betraying himself in disguise and asking for his own death.

In addition to this, Yi Yun's force was also something he was afraid of.

The person who can be rewarded with a hundred thousand spiritual stones by the Fu family is most likely to be in the Golden Core realm, which is beyond the upper limit of what he can deal with.

And what he gained from the report was far from comparable to the introduction fee Wei Tu gave him.

Of course, there is one more point.

It was something Sun Chixin didn't dare to say.

In addition to being involved in black market transactions, he is also not clean, and he is most afraid of attracting too much attention from the head of the Fu family.

"Shopkeeper Chi, what's wrong? But there's something wrong with Fang's list of elixirs?"

Wei Tu pretended to be questioning.

In addition to this transaction, he needs to buy the elixir. Another purpose is to drag Sun Chixin, the owner of the Fu family pharmacy, into trouble.

In Xiantao City, he was unfamiliar with the place and was no different from a blind man. However, with the help of Sun Chixin, a senior member of the Fu family, it was completely different.

Of course, Wei Tu would not be stupid enough to directly tell Sun Chixin his identity.

Everyone is smart, and Sun Chixin can guess it with just a little hint.

However, if Sun Chixin had not guessed it, it would not affect his plan.

"No problem, no problem..."

Sun Chixin waved his hand, handed the list of elixirs to the stall owner, and negotiated the price with him.

Yi Yun purchased the elixir from Ye's elixir shop. Because he was the shopkeeper, he only knew a little bit about it, but it was difficult for outsiders to know.

Therefore, Sun Chixin was not worried that the stall owner could discover the doubts in the list of elixirs.

……

One quarter of an hour.

Under the supervision of Wei Tu, Sun Chixin negotiated a price with the stall owner and sold this batch of third-level elixirs for a total price of [-] spirit stones.

Although the amount of this spiritual stone is huge, it is not that conspicuous in the black market.

When purchasing goods on the black market, the quantity usually ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Wei Tu's deal is only considered medium-sized.

"This is a magical elixir. Please check it out, sir."

The stall owner was quite generous and took out the corresponding elixir directly from the storage bag.

Wei Tu did not pretend to be generous. After taking the storage bag, he examined the elixirs one by one without any sign of impatience.

After the inspection, Wei Tu paid the stall owner [-] spirit stones and the [-] introduction fee promised to Sun Chixin.

As for half of the profit...

It is calculated based on the price difference between the market and the dark market. Finally, after calculation, Wei Tu purchased this batch of elixirs, except for the introduction fee paid to Sun Chixin and half of the profit...

If he sells it at the market price, the profit he makes is not much, less than five thousand spirit stones.

But this is the first transaction.

For subsequent transactions, there is no need to pay Sun Chixin the corresponding introduction fee.

Moreover, the quantity purchased on the black market is much larger than the quantity purchased on the market.

In black market transactions, Wei Tu values ​​​​anonymous transactions more than buying low and selling high.

……

After trading the elixir.

Wei Tu did not stay in the black market for long and left the black market with Sun Chixin.

In Liaozhou, the only things that could attract him were the body-refining elixir and the body-refining secret medicine.

Keeping an eye on these things will inevitably lead Sun Chixin to guess his origins.

The cultivation level of Jindan realm can be exposed.

But Wei Tu didn't want to expose his body-refining skills. This is one of his trump cards.

"Shopkeeper Chi, the Fu family will reward Yi Yun with a reward of [-] spirit stones. Fang is also very concerned about this high reward..."

"If there is any timely news, please inform Shopkeeper Chi."

When leaving, Wei Tu nodded to Sun Chixin.

The implication is that if the Fu family makes any move to arrest Yi Yun, Sun Chixin must inform him as soon as possible.

"Next time when there is a black market transaction, Fang will still find Shopkeeper Chi as the man."

Wei Tu promises another profit.

A big stick in one hand, and sweet dates in the other.

Sun Chixin had nothing to hesitate about. He immediately expressed his willingness to help Wei Tu inquire about the Fu family's movements.

……

Return to the Lingfu Courtyard of the Fu family.

Inside the cave.

Wei Tu took out the elixir furnace and the corresponding elixir, and prepared to open the furnace to refine the golden marrow elixir.

After this black market transaction, plus the remaining elixirs he had previously purchased from Situ You, he finally collected a complete set of golden marrow elixirs.

Now, with the threat from Jinglian Temple and the Fu family imminent, Wei Tu must of course find ways to improve his own strength.

There is no need to rush in the Qi refining realm.

But the state of body refining is different. Before he switched to "The Immortal Origin Sutra of Casting the Way", the state of body refining almost fell to the middle stage of the third level. He only managed to maintain his state by eating a golden marrow pill.

In other words, there is still a certain shortcoming in his body-refining origin.

To make up for these shortcomings, he also improved his own strength in disguise.

As for these deficiencies, you only need to take body refining elixirs to replenish the original source. There is no need to understand the skills and break through the physical level.

Seven days later.

The Golden Marrow Pill is divided into three pills.

Different from last time, this time Wei Tu did not perform beyond his level and only made alchemy at a normal level.

More than ten years have passed, and his level of alchemy has naturally improved.

After looking at the longan-sized, golden pills in his hand for a few times, Wei Tu took out one, raised his head, took it into his stomach, and began to refine it.

In an instant, Wei Tu's body shape changed. Muscles were piled up in layers, and his whole body was shining with a pale white light like jade.

Click!

A slight bone sound was heard.

Wei Tu's height also increased from about eight feet to a tall man of about ten feet.

"Unexpectedly, after swallowing this golden marrow pill, my cultivation level has been improved to the third level of mid-level achievement."

A few days later, Wei Tu's face was filled with joy. He gently clenched his fists, feeling the power in his body that could shake mountains.

You know, it was only less than twenty years since he broke through to the middle stage of the third level of body refining.

Breaking through a small realm in twenty years is considered rapid progress among body refiners.

"It should be because I transferred to the "Chu Dao Immortal Origin Sutra". This body training method made it easier for me to break through the body training realm."

Wei Tu secretly thought.

Good high-level skills have a certain probability of reducing the bottleneck of monks when they break through the realm.

The "Shen Demon True Skill" is only a third-level skill, and its potential has been exhausted at the third level of body training, so it is not easy for him to break through in cultivation.

Don't do it again and again.

Wei Tu swallowed the remaining two golden marrow pills and slowly refined them.

Like the Golden Congo, Wei Tu had already swallowed two Golden Marrow Pills before. If he swallowed these two Golden Marrow Pills again at this time, his physical improvement would be limited and the price-performance ratio would not be high.

However, as an alchemist, Wei Tu doesn't need to worry about cost-effectiveness when he swallows the Golden Marrow Pill.

After all, he is the manufacturer.

As long as he doesn't adhere to the principle of losing money if he doesn't sell it, he won't lose any spiritual stones if he swallows the Golden Marrow Pill.

a few days later.

Wei Tu's body refining realm has improved again, and he is only one step away from the peak of the middle stage of the third level.

"At this time, although my combat power is not as good as that of Hu Shan and Qi Chengchu, who are the only peak Jindan players, it is not bad compared with the former Jia Tianlong."

Wei Tu thought.

They are both at the pinnacle of the Golden Core, but there is also a difference in combat power.

For example, Bai Zhi was able to forcibly kill Jia Tianlong even when he was seriously injured.

——Jia Tianlong, an ordinary golden elixir that relies on time accumulation to reach the peak of the golden elixir, is often the weakest level at the peak of the golden elixir.

However, even the weakest level of the golden elixir peak is still difficult to defeat many golden elixirs.

You must know that people such as Bai Zhi, Qi Chengchu, Hu Shan, Ning Yan, and Zhenjun Wan Hai are often the leaders of the golden elixir level in a large force, and there are not many of them.

Almost the top three characters in the Nascent Soul Realm.

If other monks were to know that Wei Tu was so confident that he was on par with the peak of the Golden Core, they would probably laugh out loud immediately.

The gap between the middle stage of the Golden Core and the late stage of the Golden Core is like a natural chasm. Unless the top talent of a big force is the top talent, it is difficult for anyone to achieve this level.

……

After consolidating his cultivation for a few days, Wei Tu broke through the barrier.

"I wonder if Jinglian Temple has removed the Jindan monks who were keeping watch outside Xiantao City."

Wei Tu felt dissatisfied.

This time, what he gained in Xiantao City was enough for him to use for a period of time, and there was no need to stay in Xiantao City for a long time.

"Ask Sun Chixin."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment, then flew to Wansheng Trading Company to find Sun Chixin for information.

"Nowadays, if foreign monks want to leave Xiantao City, they must be inspected by the eldest son of the Fu family, otherwise they are prohibited from going out."

Sun Chixin provided information.

Speaking of this, Sun Chixin secretly glanced outside, and when he saw no one, he lowered his voice and said: "Fu Dalu has eliminated many monks in the past half month, and now he has set his sights on including fellow Taoist Fang." Including several monks who have not yet been examined..."

"If Fellow Daoist Fang hadn't rented the Fu family's cave, the Fu family would not have broken the rules, otherwise the Fu family would have started to inspect it."

"Oh? What happened to the monks who were inspected?" Wei Tu's heart moved.

The only thing he had in common with "Yi Yun" at this time was that they were in the same realm as the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, he was not the only one to fly down from the clouds.

"Of course I let it go."

Sun Chixin shook his head, "No matter how bold the Fu family is, they would not dare to indiscriminately kill or ban True Monarch Jindan. After all, the Fu family is also one of the righteous forces."

heard here.

Wei Tu was immediately relieved.

With the power of the Fu family and Jinglian'an, they were unable to conduct a cross-border investigation into the connection between his true identity and the false identity of "Yi Yun."

In other words, even if his true identity is revealed at this moment, he is not afraid of being hunted down by the Fu family.
