I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 589: Killing Two Infants in One Day, Bai Zhi Awakens (5k, please subscribe)

The last time, when he ambushed Ji Yifeng, in order to be cautious, he chose to kill him with one blow, so he did not imprison Ji Yifeng's Nascent Soul and then search his soul.

The information about Yiqizhi was also what he found from Ji Yifeng when he was sorting out Ji Yifeng's belongings afterwards, so it was not very complete.

I only know that this thing exists in the precious land of Yuanyang, but I have no idea where to look for it.

Just now, after entering Yuanyang Palace, he had used his spiritual sense to search the nearby area, but had not found any specific trace of "Yiqizhi".

Seeing this, Wei Tu was very decisive. He gave up his own search and began to wait for the elders of Tianyi Sect to arrive, and then wait here.

"Bai Zhi will be able to wake up in two months at most." Wei Tu's "spider eyes" flashed, observing the speed of the separation between Bai Zhi's divine soul and the demonic soul.

The "Yuan Yang Qi" in the Yuan Yang treasure land is the natural enemy of the demon soul. When the two come into contact, the demon soul will evaporate quickly like water vapor.

If it is not restrained, the evil spirit possessing Bai Zhi's ghost body will be purified immediately in just a few hours.

However, if she did so, Bai Zhi's ghost body would "die" along with the evil soul.

Therefore, in order to ensure Bai Zhi's safety, others can only artificially manipulate the "Yuan Yang Qi" to slow down the process and expel the evil soul in Bai Zhi's body bit by bit.

……

half a month later.

As Wei Tu waited patiently, two old men, one tall and one thin, finally flew to the outskirts of Yuanyang Palace.

"Shi Fei, I didn't expect you, an old man, to come to the Zunwang Palace alone this time. Where is your sect's headmaster Ji? Why is he absent this time?"

"Logically speaking, this is unlikely to happen, right?"

When they flew over Yuanyang Palace, the tall and fat old man with a ruddy complexion seemed to have thought of something and asked with a smile.

The inner palace of the Zunwang Palace is vast, with thousands of palaces. In the core three palaces, it is difficult for them, who do not have the late Yuanying stage, to get a share, so they turn to manage the palaces outside the "core three palaces".

The precious land of Yuanyang is a place occupied by their "Jianling Sect" and "Tianyi Sect".

Originally, Jianling Sect was weaker than Tianyi Sect, but if... Tianyi Sect's headmaster Ji Yifeng really died unexpectedly as rumored...

Then, the strength of Jianling Sect is undoubtedly superior to that of Tianyi Sect.

"In this case……"

The tall and fat old man's eyes flickered slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Elder Luo said this because he wants to tear up the agreement between the two factions and monopolize Yiqizhi?"

Upon hearing this, the Tianyi Sect elder named "Shi Fei" snorted coldly, revealing the tall and fat old man's thoughts.

"This..." Elder Luo hesitated and waved his hand to indicate that he did not have such an idea.

One thousand two hundred years ago, during the secret realm of the previous two sessions of the Zunwang Palace, "Yiqizhi" had been sealed in a "different space" within the Yuanyang Palace by the Nascent Soul ancestors of the "Tianyi Sect" and the "Jianling Sect" at that time, to be nurtured by the Yuanyang treasure land until its medicinal properties fully matured.

In order to open this "different space", one must have the "spiritual seals" of both the Tianyi Sect and the Jianling Sect to open it.

Therefore, before this, even if he had this idea, he could not fall out with the Tianyi Sect.

At least, we have to wait until we obtain Yiqizhi.

Seeing that Elder Luo had given in, Shi Fei's expression relaxed a bit and he responded to the questions Elder Luo had just asked.

"Master Ji didn't come this time because he was seriously injured in the outside world and almost died..."

"Almost died?" Elder Luo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, half believing and half disbelieving what Shi Fei said.

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at Yuanyang Palace.

"Elder Luo, we can prepare to take the treasure."

Shi Fei took out a square jade seal engraved with the words "Heaven's Will" from his sleeve and said with a smile.

However, no one noticed that at this moment, Shi Fei's other hand hidden in his right sleeve had already activated a jade talisman in his palm.

"Okay!" Elder Luo nodded without any doubt and took out a jade seal engraved with the words "Jian Ling", which was exactly the same as the one in Shi Fei's hand.

Next.

The two of them each entered a dozen spells into the jade seal and then waved their sleeves, pressing it somewhere in the void.

The next moment, a black vortex appeared in the void. In the depths of the black vortex, there was a Ganoderma lucidum as thick as a child's arm, with nine leaves hanging high, and a little light inside. It was crystal clear and swaying in the wind.

"Is this Yiqizhi?"

"No wonder I didn't find it. It turns out that the two factions hid it in another dimension."

Wei Tu, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene and pondered.

This method of hiding things is exactly the same as the one used by the Red Dragon Ancestor to hide the "Soul Refining Banner". Without knowing the spatial nodes of this space and the method to open it, it would be extremely difficult to take it out.

Unless one has great attainments in spatial spiritual formations and uses the formation to discover clues here.

"It's time to seize the treasure!" Wei Tu's mind moved, and he prepared to attack Shi Fei and Elder Luo and snatch the "Yiqizhi".

If there were many Nascent Soul cultivators coming from the Tianyi Sect and the Jianling Sect this time, he might still be a little afraid and would not act rashly.

But they were just two ordinary middle-stage Nascent Souls...

He has absolutely no need to be afraid.

only--

Just when Wei Tu descended in front of Shi Fei and Elder Luo with [Cursed Ghost Blood Escape], he saw Shi Fei wrapped in a ball of white spiritual light and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Great Teleportation Talisman?"

Wei Tu was stunned and surprised for a moment.

But then he reacted and realized that this was Shi Fei, or the Tianyi Sect, trying to "outsmart" him.

The Large Teleportation Talisman is a fourth-level talisman, which is of a higher grade than the Small Teleportation Talisman. It is an escape talisman for the Nascent Soul Realm.

Can instantly teleport three hundred miles away.

Within a range of three hundred miles, it is difficult for ordinary Nascent Soul late stage consciousness to reach this distance.

However, if it is not prepared in advance, the activation time of this talisman will be at least three breaths.

This is the only flaw of this talisman.

Now, from the time he escaped to the time Shi Fei ran away, the time in between was only a split second. According to common sense, it was not enough time for Shi Fei to activate the Great Teleportation Talisman and escape.

If Shi Fei was trying to guard against Elder Luo in advance...

That's also unlikely.

After all, the strength of these two people is similar, so it is still unclear who will win or lose.

Moreover, logically speaking... when Shi Fei escaped, he had every opportunity to take away "Yiqizhi".

The only explanation for his escape was that he had calculated that he would appear here.

It was not difficult for Wei Tu to guess the reason. After all, as a powerful man who attacked Ji Yifeng, if he obtained the record of Yiqizhi in Yuanyang Treasure Land in Ji Yifeng's hands, he would most likely come here and secretly seize the treasure.

"An open conspiracy? Killing two birds with one stone?"

Wei Tu paused in the air and glanced at Yiqizi who was still in the "different space", as well as Elder Luo who was wary of him and had already sacrificed his magic weapon in front of him.

Seeing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but admire the thoughts of Tianyi Sect or "Shi Fei".

Whether it is him or Elder Luo, if they want to monopolize "Yiqizhi", they will definitely fight hard.

No matter who dies or is seriously injured, it is a good thing for the Tianyi Sect.

In addition, if the situation is favorable, the escaped "Shi Fei" can come back again and become the [Yellow Bird].

To resolve this crisis...

There are only two ways.

One person gives up "Yi Qi Zhi" and voluntarily withdraws, or both parties unite and divide "Yi Qi Zhi".

The former is simply impossible.

Neither he nor Elder Luo could give up the fight for "Yiqizhi".

The latter, however, is somewhat possible.

But the problem is that both sides are strangers and have no basis for cooperation. At this point, the situation has become tense.

"What a shame! You calculated wrong!"

Wei Tu turned his head and glanced coldly in the direction where Shi Fei fled, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

——The range of the Red Dragon Patriarch's spiritual awareness is more than 300 miles. And his strength is far beyond that of an ordinary mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. He is not qualified to be a [yellow bird] at all.

He slapped the spirit beast bag, summoned the Sky-Splitting Eagle, and let the Sky-Splitting Eagle hold the "Dragon Glass Pearl" in its mouth to hunt, while his gaze shifted again to the "Elder Luo" in front of him.

All these actions happened in a flash. Although Elder Luo reacted, his target was Wei Tu.

The moment Wei Tu let go of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, he clasped his hands together and shouted "Cut" secretly. Then he saw a huge pair of yellow scissors suddenly appear above Wei Tu's head, and the blade closed immediately at that moment.

"Successful?" Seeing the spiritual scissors closed, Elder Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

The Jianling Sect is a sect that is more inclined towards weapon techniques in the immortal way, similar to the sword sect. However, the Jianling Sect's cultivators do not cultivate spiritual swords, but "spiritual scissors".

When the "Spirit Scissors" close and hit, even a strong man of the same level will be seriously injured.

Originally, it would not be so easy for him to hit, but fortunately, Wei Tu in front of him seemed to have ignored him, a strong man, in order to hunt down "Shi Fei".

however--

Just when Elder Luo was secretly rejoicing, he saw that the Wei Tu in his spiritual scissors was not injured at all. Instead, the edge of his spiritual scissors showed signs of breaking.

"Fourth level body refiner?"

Elder Luo's heart skipped a beat and he was immediately frightened. Just like Ji Wuya whom Wei Tu had dealt with before, he did not think that he had the ability to deal with someone who practiced both magic and body.

Before the spiritual scissors dissipated, he grabbed the Yiqizhi with his big hand, put it into the jade box and threw it into the storage bag. Then he turned into a ray of light and prepared to escape.

"Damn Shi Fei, he must know that there is a powerful enemy lurking here."

"In the hall, this man was with a female cultivator in a white dress. Now, his strength is so strong, and with the combined strength of that female cultivator, let alone..."

Elder Luo cursed inwardly.

But the next moment, Elder Luo, who had just started to escape, saw a huge body several hundred feet tall suddenly appear in front of him, and its palms quickly clasped towards him.

"Fa Tian and Earth?"

Elder Luo was horrified and quickly opened his mouth and spit out a five-colored feather fan, waving it in front of him.

With this fan, Wei Tu's "Heaven and Earth" movement suddenly stagnated. During this stagnation, Elder Luo's escape light narrowly escaped.

However, Elder Luo, who had just escaped, felt like he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den.

Because this time it was no longer Wei Tu's magical power that blocked his way, but Wei Tu's real body.

"Go!" Elder Luo waved his fan again.

The next moment.

Wei Tu, who was coming with his fists, paused in his movements, which was exactly the same as the "Law of Heaven and Earth" he had just performed.

However, unlike before, this time Wei Tu obviously had a way to deal with it. After his body froze for a moment, he shed a thin layer of cicada shell and rushed towards Elder Luo with all his strength.

Phew~
A large hole was blasted in Elder Luo's chest. Like a kite with a broken string, a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth, staining his beard red.

"Not good! His movements are too fast. Even with the Seven Birds Spirit Control Fan, we can't create a useful fighting opportunity."

While fleeing, Elder Luo racked his brains, thinking about how to escape from Wei Tu.

The Seven Birds Spirit Controlling Fan is a means of confinement in his hand. If it is used against ordinary cultivators, this trick is extremely useful, but unfortunately... facing Wei Tu, a body cultivator, this trick can only be used to buy him time to escape.

The reason is simple. Even if Wei Tu was controlled, it would be difficult for him to break his fourth-level physique with appropriate means.

"His target is Yiqizhi. He can survive if he gives up Yiqizhi."

Elder Luo began to wonder whether he should "cut off his arm" to save his life.

However, just as he had this thought, he saw a black flag suddenly appear in front of him.

As the flag waved, two babies of different colors and nearly twenty Nascent Soul evil spirits instantly escaped from it.

"Soul Refining Banner?"

"There is such a powerful main soul?"

In an instant, Elder Luo's face changed drastically. He hurriedly took out all the defensive magic weapons and talismans from his storage bag, activated them and stuck them on his body.

But it was too late.

With the cooperation of the two main souls, [Liang Yi Infant] and [Five Elements Infant], the defensive talismans and magic weapons on Elder Luo's body began to break apart after holding out for dozens of breaths.

"Since I can't get this treasure, I won't let you get it before I die!"

Elder Luo had a ruthless look on his face. He did not hold the treasure hostage to beg for mercy from Wei Tu. Instead, he took out the jade box containing "Yiqizhi" and used his magic power to directly destroy this fourth-grade elixir.

However, at this moment, a gray light suddenly fell, and Elder Luo's body was instantly frozen.

"Yuan Zhong Divine Light?" Elder Luo was shocked. He never thought that Wei Tu had such an amazing magical power.

The next moment, Elder Luo felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen.

He glanced downward.

At this moment, his abdomen had been opened, and his Nascent Soul had been taken away by the green-robed monk in front of him and thrown to the two heterochromatic babies who were surrounding him and laughing.

"You're going to die now?"

Elder Luo became unconscious and died.

He could never have imagined that he, a powerful cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, would end up dying so easily and tragically.

"The next one is Shi Fei."

Wei Tu put the remains of Elder Luo into the storage bag, sensed the breath of the Sky-Splitting Eagle from a distance, locked its direction, and instantly fled over.

……

Half a day later.

Wei Tu returned to Yuanyang Palace. In his storage bag, or "corpse bag", there was now a brand new corpse of a mid-Nascent Soul stage warrior.

Like Elder Luo, Shi Fei's strength is not bad, but it is also within the norm. Facing such an unconventional cultivator, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Now, just wait patiently for Bai Zhi to wake up."

After playing with the "Seven Birds Controlling Spirit Fan" for a while, Wei Tu looked at Bai Zhi, who was lying on the stone slab in front of him with a peaceful look on her face.

Two hundred years ago, when he had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, Bai Zhi was invaded by a demonic spirit and forced into a coma.

Currently, he has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is only one step away from breaking through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul and reaching the top combat power of the Great Cang Immortal Cultivation World...

Although these two hundred years were short, they really made him feel that the world had changed dramatically.

One and a half months.

It flashed by.

Just as Wei Tu had originally expected, Bai Zhi, who had completely stripped herself of her "devil soul", finally woke up slowly.

"Friend Wei, this is..."

Bai Zhi held her head and slowly straightened up from the stone bed. She looked at everything in front of her and asked.

This area gave her the feeling that it was not the world of immortal cultivation in Da Cang, but had an "exotic" atmosphere.

"The secret realm of the Zunwang Palace."

Wei Tu smiled faintly and replied.

"The secret realm of the Zunwang Palace?" Bai Zhi was stunned. As far as she could remember, she had never heard of a place called the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace in the Da Cang immortal cultivation world.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu laughed a few times and casually explained to Bai Zhi about this high-level secret realm that was sealed below the Nascent Soul Realm and was rarely known to the cultivators in the world.

After hearing these words, Bai Zhi's face did not show much joy, but instead showed a bit of loneliness.

She missed two hundred years.

When she woke up two hundred years later, the distance between her and Wei Tu had become so great that it was difficult to approach him.

Today, she couldn’t think of what use she was to Wei Tu… It seemed that she could only be regarded as an “old friend” and let Wei Tu reminisce about the old days.

However, Bai Zhi did not want Wei Tu to notice these feelings, so she forced a smile, bowed, and congratulated Wei Tu.

But what Bai Zhi didn't know was...

With Su Bing'er in front of her, Wei Tu knew exactly how lonely she felt.

"If Fellow Daoist Bai doesn't mind, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Bai to be the main soul of my Soul Refining Banner."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

Now, although the main soul of the Soul Refining Banner is the "Five Elements Infant" and "Two Yin and Yang Infant" taken from Qi Chengchu and Zhang Nanqiu, it is still feasible to let Bai Zhi, a trustworthy person, devour the two infants and then replace them as the main soul of his Soul Refining Banner.

Although this move will greatly reduce the strength of the "Two Infants", the Soul Refining Banner is not something he can rely on now. It is not a bad thing for him to use it to give birth to a "Ghost King" with greater potential.

The "main soul" of the Soul Refining Banner is the "position" that Wei Tu reserved for Bai Zhi.

"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Bai is unwilling, I will not force him. After we leave the Zunwang Palace, I will arrange for a body to take over and let Fellow Daoist Bai reincarnate."

Wei Tu paused and said sincerely.

Now, Bai Zhi’s life span is not long. Even if she becomes a ghost cultivator, she will die in a hundred years at most.

If you take over someone else's body, you can only last a few decades at most, and then your soul will collapse and die.

Therefore, he didn't mind letting Bai Zhi "free" after leaving the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

"Ghost King? The soul of the soul refining banner master?"

After the words fell, Bai Zhi did not agree immediately, but looked thoughtful.
