I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 565: Luqiu Jinyuan took the bait, and a war was about to break out (4k2, please subscribe)

a few days later.

On Yuanjun Island, in a magnificent but simply decorated hall, Luqiu Jinyuan was sitting on his knees behind the desk, handling government affairs.

He was dressed in a white robe, with long hair shawl, and an expression that was indescribably calm and calm. He kept writing on the memorial, his political opinions on state affairs.

The maids serving on both sides listened to the soft "swish" sound of Luqiu Jinyuan's brush across the paper, with admiration appearing on their faces from time to time.

The Luqiu clan has been multiplying for hundreds of thousands of years. Even though there are high-level restrictions, the number of clan members has reached an extremely terrifying number, with nearly ten million people.

They are one of these tens of millions of people.

And Luqiu Jinyuan, the "prince" born from a common family, was undoubtedly their pride and their "sweetheart".

However, unlike the calmness he showed on his face, Luqiu Jinyuan was slightly worried in his heart.

——Because he couldn't figure out the real reason why Lu Qiu Qingfeng allocated so much "ancestral blood" from the clan treasury.

Therefore, "Spider Heart Island", the Spider Heart Sect's headquarters located in Donghua Demon Kingdom, not far from Yuanjun Island, has become a perfect place for him to headquarter and hide.

A moment later, several talisman letters came out of the palace, turned into streaks of rainbow light, and flew to various parts of Yuanjun Island with Luqiu Jinyuan's will.

Basically, it will distance itself from him, the reserve country owner.

What can be grasped is the real thing!

Moreover, after coming to Spider Heart Island, he can also reduce the risk of... the old spider mother being captured alive by him.

——With him monitoring Old Mother Earth Spider, no matter how dissatisfied she is and hating him to the core, she still has to smile at him.

Whether he uses it himself or on his loyal subordinates, it is a good thing for him.

But at this moment, Luqiu Jinyuan is not keen on revenge. He has only one purpose, and that is to win the "Soul-Swallowing Wood"!
"No matter whether Lu Qiu Qingfeng is preparing for a breakthrough or not, as long as I am one step ahead of her and break through to the late Nascent Soul stage... the winner will still be me!" Lu Qiu Jinyuan's eyes flashed and he thought secretly.

Soul-swallowing wood is the shortcut to becoming a strong person.

Wulao Mountain is too far away from Yuanjun Island.

However, once they reach the upper limit of this realm, it will become extremely difficult for them to improve their cultivation.

Although he has every advantage in every aspect,...as long as Lu Qiu Qingfeng breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, the senior officials in the clan will once again be optimistic about Lu Qiu Qingfeng, the Ninth Emperor's daughter.

"Next, let's wait for Luqiu Jinyuan to take the bait step by step."

——Including the information about the Soul-Swallowing Wood, he also found out from other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Fairyland of Flying Snake Island after sensing the death of "Wu Fang".

Wei Tu sat cross-legged. After taking the jade slip of information from the old Mother Earth Spider's hand, he glanced at it and thought to himself.

Spider Heart Sect, in the boudoir of Mother Earth Spider.

At this time, Luqiu Jinyuan was suddenly on the case table and accidentally saw an intelligence case sent yesterday.

This time, the "soul-swallowing wood monk" Luqiu Jinyuan found was a "bait" he deliberately threw to the black owl.

Luqiu Jinyuan looked excited, thinking that he was deeply favored by God. After tracking the red algae sea for so long, he finally found the section of the Soul-Swallowing Tree that had been "lost" for more than a hundred years.

Within the Luqiu clan, "ancestral blood" is almost equivalent to a breakthrough in realm.

The strength of their bloodline is equivalent to the upper limit of their realm.

In the world of immortality, strength ranks first.

Because the clone died, his true body did not know who specifically killed "Wu Fang" and took away the "Soul-Swallowing Wood".

"What a pity?"

For no other reason than Luqiu Qingfeng, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, could become one of the decision-makers in the clan.

Therefore, Luqiu Jinyuan did not mind adding some difficulties on his way to break through the path of becoming a god.

With his qualifications, using the "Soul Swallowing Wood" is not very cost-effective. After all, this will reduce his potential to break through to become a god, making his road to god transformation more bumpy... But Luqiu Jinyuan knows his own affairs. , he does not think that he is an "exception" within the Luqiu clan, who can easily break the blood constraints in his body and break through to the realm of god transformation.

But unfortunately, more than a hundred years ago, his clone "Wu Fang" died while chasing a hostile monk. As a result, the soul-swallowing wood that was finally obtained from the Fei She Island Ruins has been lost ever since. .

——The bloodline of the True Spirit Family will make bloodline monks like them have stronger qualifications than ordinary monks in the early stages of practice.

"Assemble all the spies in the Fox Eagle Guard. I will find out the specific whereabouts of this person within a month."

Fox Eagle Guard is an intelligence agency controlled by Luqiu Jinyuan.

Remote control of this "conspiracy" from Wulaoshan will inevitably make the information he obtains lose its timeliness.

Seeing this volume of intelligence cases, Lu Qiu Jinyuan's right hand paused slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Even though he thought that the possibility of Lu Qiu Qingfeng's breakthrough in a short period of time was not high, but what if it happened?
"There seems to be a soul-swallowing wood monk in Yanfeng Island."

"The Soul-Swallowing Wood? Is there any news about the Soul-Swallowing Wood?"

"Master, do you need a meal?"

This is why the Luqiu clan has been a quasi-god clan for many years, living in a small area of ​​​​the red algae sea, and it is difficult to transform into the "venerable force" that controls the Neixu Sea.

For example, at this moment, after delivering the information jade slip to Wei Tu, the Earth Spider Mother stood beside him like a maid, with a well-behaved look on her face, without any of the high-profile attitude of a leader of a religion.

After seeing Wei Tu read the jade slips, Mother Earth Spider clenched her teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on her pink face, and she spoke to Wei Tu in a gentle and orchid-like tone.

Wei Tu already knew this information clearly in Mother Earth Spider's memory.

……

While she was talking, Mother Earth Spider already had a bowl of soup in her hand that was full of energy and taste.

"This is the nourishing spiritual porridge that the slave family specially ordered the spiritual chef to cook for the master. It contains forty-eight kinds of rare elixirs..."

The Mother Earth Spider knelt on her knees, gently mixed the soup with her bare hands, scooped up a piece of elixir root that looked like a thick potato with a jade spoon, and slowly handed it to Wei Tu's mouth.

"No need!" Wei Tu's attitude was cold and he directly rejected Mother Earth Spider's kindness and waved her hand to stay away from him.

A strong person may not be as proud as a strong person.

When he captured this woman alive, she had already expressed her willingness to be his concubine in order to find a way out.

Not long ago, after he made it clear that as long as she helped him assassinate Luqiu Jinyuan, he would let her become his subordinate after the incident was completed, this woman became even more flattering to him.

The service was almost meticulous.

It's just... Wei Tu is still a little uncomfortable with this woman's fawning.

For one thing, he has always been an ascetic.

Only more than a hundred years ago, when he broke through the Nascent Soul realm and felt that he was an ancestor, he indulged a little and took "Yan Xiaolan" as his concubine.

Between them, he and the old mother of the Earth Spider had a grudge against each other to kill their son.

He didn't know what Old Mother Earth Spider thought, but with this feud, no matter how big-hearted he was, she would still feel like she was having trouble with her, let alone enjoy Mother Earth Spider's service with peace of mind.

"Don't worry! As long as this matter is successful, Mr. Wei will spare your life. A dead middle-stage Nascent Soul or a living middle-stage Nascent Soul, Wei knows which one is more valuable."

Wei Tu glanced at Mother Earth Spider and reassured her.

What he said was true.

Due to the restriction of the "evil method of serving spirits", Old Mother Earth Spider is his most loyal servant. As long as he thinks about it, this beautiful body in front of him will immediately explode and die, becoming a corpse.

Therefore, just to maximize profits, he would not send this woman on the road after killing Luqiu Jinyuan.

——The value of Mother Earth Spider lies not only in her strength, but also in the "Spider Heart Sect" she masters.

For example, the "movements" of the Fox Eagle Guards that he knew just now were obtained by members of the Spider Heart Sect one by one.

In addition, rescuing "Ancestor Luo" will inevitably require the efforts of the elder of Ruyilou, Mother Earth Spider.

After all, the difficulty is very different between taking action directly and rescuing from within. "Yes, Master."

Hearing this, Xue Hongmian forced a smile, took a few steps back, and kept an appropriate distance from Wei Tu, neither too far nor too close.

……

Five days later.

Under Wei Tu's arrangement, Fu Zhizhou, the "Soul-Swallowing Wood Monk", once again showed his presence in the Donghua Demon Kingdom.

Soon, the leader of the Fox Eagle Guard "Black Fox" led more than a dozen Jindan monks to block Fu Zhizhou's way, and a fierce battle broke out with Fu Zhizhou.

Black Fox is one of the few Yuanying monks under Luqiu Jinyuan, and his realm is in the early stage of Yuanying.

It stands to reason that with the strength of Black Fox and the support of more than ten golden elixirs from the Fox Eagle Guard, Fu Zhizhou, the "new Nascent Soul", can be retained.

But unfortunately, with Wei Tu calculating in his head and not doing it intentionally, Black Fox and others ended up in failure.

Fu Zhizhou "exploded" his strength and cut off one of his arms. He fled in panic with his Nascent Soul leaving his body.

After learning of the battle report, Luqiu Jinyuan did not go out in person, but sent his only confidant, the middle-stage Nascent Soul monk, to take action.

This person's name is "Luqiu Guangheng" and he is respectfully called "Elder Guang" by the Luqiu clan. He is responsible for guarding the clan treasury.

He was also the vanguard who helped Luqiu Jinyuan and forced Luqiu Qingfeng into self-imprisonment at the clan meeting not long ago.

However, the real reason why Lu Qiu Jinyuan trusted Lu Qiu Guangheng and was willing to send him out to "seize the treasure" at this moment was that Lu Qiu Guangheng was his biological father.

Even though he is a "prince" of the same lineage, his starting point is not comparable to that of ordinary members of the Luqiu clan.

Of course, this relationship has not been publicized by him and Lu Qiu Guangheng, and has been kept secret.

He...has always been Lu Qiu Guangheng's illegitimate son.

"Don't worry, Jin Yuan."

"My father will definitely help you get this soul-swallowing tree."

Elder Guang looked old and held a wooden staff in his hand. After hearing Luqiu Jinyuan's request, he agreed without hesitation, with a trace of relief in his eyes.

For hundreds of years, Luqiu and Jinyuan asked him for little.

Although this is not the first time, in terms of importance, it is definitely among the top three in the past.

"A newly promoted Nascent Soul, no matter how capable he is, cannot escape his father's pursuit."

Elder Guang smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence.

A tiger's son has no dog father.

In terms of strength, although he is not as good as his son Luqiu Jinyuan, a "pure-blood descendant", he is still not a little stronger than the average middle-stage Nascent Soul.

Catching Fu Zhizhou, a new Yuanying, is definitely a success.

"Thank you father."

Hearing this, Luqiu Jinyuan nodded calmly, not having any doubts about the strength of his biological father, "Elder Guang". He bowed and thanked him.

"I'm on Yuanjun Island, waiting for good news about dad."

Luqiu Jinyuan hesitated for a moment and then said again.

At that time, before there was an opportunity that could change his life, he, the "illegitimate son", did not receive any respect or affection from Elder Guang... He even had very few opportunities to meet Elder Guang, his biological father.

If it was not necessary, he would be very reluctant to ask Elder Guang, his biological father, to make a trip on his behalf and take action.

Because I will accept certain favors.

But...this time today, it is very necessary.

"very dangerous!"

Luqiu Jinyuan calmly made a judgment.

From the time Fu Zhizhou appeared... to the defeat of Black Fox, forcing Nascent Soul to escape, there was no doubt whatsoever.

However, if the previous events were added - his clone "Wu Fang" was destroyed, it would be very suspicious.

Luqiu Jinyuan knew his clone's character well.

After all, the clone is identical to him.

He would not carry the "Soul-Swallowing Wood", a valuable treasure, into danger without being sure of it.

In other words, his clone "Wu Fang" encountered something unexpected and was forced to die, which led to the "Soul-Swallowing Wood" falling into Fu Zhizhou's hands.

If he doesn't understand this "accident", he won't take action easily.

Of course, it's possible that he was too suspicious.

It was just a coincidence that Fu Zhizhou won the Soul-Swallowing Wood!
However, if it was a coincidence, it would be enough for his father "Lu Qiu Guangheng" to take action this time.

At most, he felt uncomfortable once more.

however--

Soon, Luqiu Jinyuan received an "unexpected battle report".

This battle report is not news of his father, Elder Guang's victory, nor news of his defeat, but... a letter from his father, Elder Guang, asking for help.

The letter described the course of the battle.

At first, everything went smoothly.

After his father "Elder Guang" found Fu Zhizhou's traces, he immediately began to hunt him down.

But just when he was about to succeed, a mid-stage Nascent Soul monk suddenly broke out, stopped Elder Guang, and started a fight with Elder Guang.

Elder Guang did not know this monk in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but from the words spoken during the battle... Elder Guang could tell that this person had an old relationship with Fu Zhizhou, and the Soul-Swallowing Wood was a gift he had given to Fu Zhizhou.

As for the strength of this strange mid-stage Nascent Soul...

According to Elder Guang's estimation, he is equal to himself and slightly better.

"The strange middle stage of Nascent Soul..."

"Everything is clear!"

"It should be this person who saw the Soul-Swallowing Wood Queen in "Wu Fang's" hand, and then grabbed the treasure and killed him!"

Luqiu Jinyuan made a corresponding judgment after taking a short look.

Seizing treasures and killing people is very common in the world of immortality.

What's more, the news of the Soul-Swallowing Wood, a valuable treasure, was not tightly sealed. Only "Wu Fang" knew that it had already spread among those Nascent Soul experts when they were in the Fei She Island Ruins.

After "Wu Fang" seized the treasure, it was not unusual for Nascent Soul strongmen to block the road and rob him.

"It's time to take action!"

Luqiu Jinyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and with a flick of his sleeves and robe, he immediately transformed into a green-winged divine bird about ten feet in size, and flew out of Yuanjun Island at top speed, rushing to the battlefield.

Now, even without those previous speculations.

Considering Elder Guang's safety, he had to flee to the battlefield and rush to support.

After all, it is not easy to have a "loyal" mid-Nascent Soul confidant.
