I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 615: Respectful at first and more respectful later, the Palace of Merit Confiscated (4k4, please subscribe)

In full view.

Seven huge purple-gold tripods, each a hundred feet high, fell from the sky one by one like meteors, smashing towards the fat male cultivator who was trapped by the mountain magic weapon [Wan Qingshan].

"No, I'm going to die!"

The fat male cultivator's face changed, and he hurriedly slapped his storage bag, took out many defensive magic weapons and talismans, and stuck them on his body to resist Wei Tu's thundering attack.

But unfortunately, the giant purple-gold tripod transformed by the Golden Tripod Talisman was too powerful, and seven of them came out at the same time.

Soon, under the successive bombardment of the seven giant purple-gold tripods, the many defensive magic weapons and talismans that the fat male cultivator had placed in front of him all lost their light and shattered into powder.

Fortunately, this process also bought the fat male cultivator some time to escape. When the last magic shield was broken, a thick black light surged out of the fat male cultivator's body, like flowing water. Under the attack of the mountain magic weapon [Wan Qingshan] and the giant purple gold tripod, it quickly dissipated in all directions and turned into dozens of rays in a short time.

"An alternative method of leaving the body by sacrificing the physical body?"

A golden light flashed in Wei Tu's eyes, and among the dozens of dark rays of light, he saw a nine-inch-tall, chubby yellow baby holding a storage bracelet and fleeing away from the battlefield.

The yellow baby's face was full of fear, and he looked back at him from time to time.

Seeing this, Wei Tu sneered immediately, he pinched his fingers and said the word "go". The [Five Elements Infant] that had just fought with the fat male cultivator waved his hand, took away the Soul Refining Banner, put it on his shoulder, and then used the Five Elements Escape Technique to chase after the dark light where the yellow Yuanying was hiding.

For example, the Nascent Souls of different sects such as the [Liang Yi Infant] and the [Five Elements Infant] are no match for the regular cultivators of the same level. However, if the cultivators of the same level have lost their physical bodies, they will no longer be a match for the Nascent Souls of different sects such as the [Five Elements Infant] with only their Nascent Soul bodies.

The [Five Elements Infant] appeared in front of the yellow baby in just a few flashes. It grinned, revealing its sharp and tiny teeth. It laughed strangely a few times and waved the Soul Refining Banner in its hand vigorously.

In an instant, the Nascent Soul evil ghost hidden in the Soul Refining Banner surged out instantly, surrounding the dark light hidden by the yellow baby.

Tens of breaths later.

The yellow baby stained the sky with blood.

Its infant body was directly devoured by the evil spirits of the [Five Elements Infant] and the Soul Refining Banner.

At this time, the storage bracelet in the yellow baby's arms also fell down and fell into Wei Tu's hands.

"Li Donghai, deputy owner of Ruyi Tower."

Wei Tu grabbed a ball of the fat monk's residual soul with his palm, and after a brief soul search, his eyes flashed for a moment, and he squeezed it hard, destroying the residual soul directly.

Pretty much what he thought.

Feng Han has a deep connection with Ruyi Tower.

Not only had he done business with Ruyilou in selling "Luo Mingzhen", but he also had a close relationship with the top management of Ruyilou.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have used my personal relationship to invite the two deputy owners of Ruyi Tower to come and help.

Yes, among the Feng Han gang present, except for the fat male cultivator Li Donghai who is the deputy master of Ruyi Tower, the powerful late Nascent Soul stage cultivator who fought with Palace Master Luo is also the deputy master of Ruyi Tower.

The only one, the cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, who was killed early in the morning by Zhuang Shou using the "dharma body" of Venerable Han Yue, was the helper that Feng Han found outside Ruyi Tower.

The reason why we say "almost" is that the scale of Ruyi Tower is much larger than what Wei Tu originally imagined in the Red Algae Sea.

——The Ruyi Tower in the Red Algae Sea is at most a subsidiary of the real Ruyi Tower.

"The deputy building owners are all in the late Nascent Soul stage, so what realm should the real Ruyi Building owner be in?"

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and didn't dare to think too much.

On the surface, in the Guixu Sea world of immortal cultivation, only the Six Sects of Xuan Dao have a God-transforming Venerable.

It's not realistic to create one more person out of thin air.

Then, it is very likely that Ruyi Tower is a dark force founded by a certain deity.

This was his guess, and also the guess of Li Donghai, the deputy owner of Ruyi Tower.

As a casual cultivator, after joining Ruyi Tower, he only knew that the owner of Ruyi Tower had great magical powers, but he had never met him in person.

……

After Li Donghai was defeated.

Wei Tu was very tactful. He did not step forward to help Zhuang Shou and Palace Master Luo. He just waited for the battle to start on the side in case their opponents suddenly escaped.

Half an hour later.

Feng Han and the other man were showing signs of defeat.

However, at this moment, Feng Han and the other two were not as lucky as Li Donghai was before.

After finding an opportunity to get close to Zhuang Shou and Palace Master Luo, they blew themselves up one after another, dealing a fatal blow to the two.

The power of the self-detonation in the late Nascent Soul stage is extraordinary.

Even though Zhuang Shou and Palace Master Luo had been prepared, they were still hit by Feng Han and the other man's dying counterattack, causing considerable damage.

Zhuang Shou was fine, as he was protected by Venerable Han Yue's "dharma body" and only suffered minor injuries.

Palace Master Luo was not so lucky. One of his arms was blown off and his abdomen was severely injured. He was covered in blood.

However, because Palace Master Luo believed that he had no chance of becoming a god, he did not care about the damage to his body. After regulating his breathing and taking some recovery elixirs, he returned to the flying boat docked over the Three Snake Island, along with Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou, as if nothing had happened.

The three people who returned to the flying boat did not wait too long, but directly drove the flying boat back to Jishan Sect.

This time, the three of them were ordered to go to Panshi Mine to investigate a case, but it was just a cover. The real purpose was to lure out the snake and completely solve the "hidden danger" of Feng Han.

Now that the hidden danger has been eliminated, the three of them should return to the sect and there is no need to go to the Rock Mine again.

The corruption case at the Panshi Mine was just a small matter compared to the "rebellion" among the top leaders of the sect and the attack on fellow sect members.

The sooner they return to the sect, the sooner they can get a share of the pie in the sect's "restoration of order".

This is a big issue concerning the division of interests.

This time, even though Feng Han came alone, after Feng Han's death, the direct forces of the Merit Hall he left behind would definitely be uprooted... The benefits here were enough to make strong people of their level tempted.

"However, the speed of the flying boat is too slow."

As they walked, Zhuang Shou frowned and said.

With the speed of the flying boat, they will have to wait at least seven days before they can return to the sect. During this period, although they will not lose their advantage, they will inevitably lose a certain advantage.

——The speed at which Feng Han’s soul token was shattered was much faster than the speed at which the flying boat was traveling.

While Zhuang Shou was speaking, Wei Tu noticed that he glanced at Palace Master Luo intentionally or unintentionally.

"Luo will stay in the flying boat to protect the disciples. Palace Master Zhuang and Elder Wei can go ahead."

At this time, Palace Master Luo spoke.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Tu immediately understood that this was Zhuang Shou's way of deceiving Palace Master Luo.

He knew that Palace Master Luo was not interested in "benefits".

"Then I, Zhuang, would like to thank Palace Master Luo."

Zhuang Shou was overjoyed when he heard this. After greeting Wei Tu, he immediately turned into a beam of light, flew out of the flying boat, and headed straight for Jishan Sect.

Seeing this, Wei Tu did not hesitate. He bowed to Palace Master Luo and thanked him. Then he followed Zhuang Shou and rushed towards Jishan Sect.

……

Two days later.

With Wei Tu intentionally controlling the speed, he and Zhuang Shou rushed back to Jishan Sect one after the other, with only two quarters of an hour between them.

This time he concealed his shortcomings.

In addition to not wanting to expose his attainments in the art of escape, he also wanted to create a time difference and let Zhuang Shou get there first, so that he could use him to tell Sect Master Zhu about his performance in the ambush and killing of Feng Han.

To prevent the situation where Sect Leader Zhu becomes respectful to him at first and then becomes rude to him because he has no value.

This will easily end up in a bad situation for both parties.

His talent would instead become a threat in the eyes of Sect Leader Zhu.

Sometimes, sequence is important.

"What? Wei Tu actually used seven golden tripod talismans during the battle?"

Same time period.

At this moment, after hearing Zhuang Shou's report, Sect Leader Zhu's eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise.

Like Feng Han, as the mastermind behind all this, he knew the exact time when Wei Tu obtained the method to make the Golden Tripod Talisman. Because he knew this, he was even more unbelievable now than when Zhuang Shou saw that shocking scene on the battlefield.

"The Jishan Sect has found a treasure."

Zhu Zongzhu pondered.

At the beginning, when he was plotting against Feng Han, although he made many important promises to Wei Tu, such as promoting Wei Tu to be the master of the Hall of Merit after Feng Han's death, the fact is... in his heart, Wei Tu was just a pawn.

The master of the Hall of Merit will keep his promise and give it to Wei Tu.

However, in the future, taking it down would only take a word from him.

At most, it just lets Wei Tu satisfy his desire.

But now, after hearing what Zhuang Shou said, he had to change his mind.

A fourth-rank, top-grade talisman master can already obtain a lofty status comparable to that of the Thirteenth Palace Master in the Jishan Sect.

And the most important thing is——

Wei Tu, still very young!
With his aptitude and long lifespan, it is not impossible for him to improve further in the future and draw fourth-order top-level talismans, or even fifth-order talismans.

By then, Wei Tu would not only be a master of talismans that Jishan Sect highly valued, but also the right-hand man that Venerable Han Yue relied on.

"It's a pity that Wei Tu is a casual cultivator. His trustworthiness is much lower than that of the cultivators from my sect."

Sect Leader Zhu shook his head secretly.

The monks of our sect are more trustworthy than those of independent practitioners.

This is not his personal thinking or judgment, but a practical issue.

In a word.

The price of betrayal by a cultivator of our sect is much greater than the price of betrayal by a wandering cultivator.

For example, Feng Han's "betrayal" of the sect is equivalent to betraying his previous social circle. After the betrayal, his clansmen and old friends during his lifetime will inevitably be implicated.

As an independent cultivator, there is no such big concern.

But even so, it is not realistic to ask him to give up Wei Tu.

Not to mention the benefits that Wei Tu, the fourth-rank talisman master, will bring to the sect in the future, even if he gets a few high-quality fourth-rank talismans, his ability to save his life will be greatly improved.

Just as Sect Leader Zhu was thinking, Wei Tu's escape light appeared outside the hall.

"Master, Wei Tu is back."

At this time, Zhuang Shou reminded in a low voice.

Hearing this, Sect Leader Zhu frowned slightly and had to temporarily suppress his inner thoughts. He sat upright on the main seat in the hall, waiting for Wei Tu to enter.

But when Wei Tu stepped outside the hall, he suddenly had an idea and stood up, walked out of the hall with a smile, and welcomed Wei Tu in.

"Elder Wei, you have done a great service for our sect this time."

Sect Leader Zhu’s face was all smiles, and he was even more enthusiastic than when he first met Wei Tu.

"Wrong, it's Junior Brother Wei!"

"Look at my memory."

Halfway through his speech, Sect Leader Zhu slapped his head and said with a smile.

One of the rewards he had promised to Wei Tu was that after killing Feng Han, he would recommend Wei Tu to become a disciple of Venerable Han Yue and become the outer disciple of Venerable Han Yue, the Venerable Huashen.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu instantly knew that his strategy of appropriately displaying his talents and thereby increasing his value in Sect Leader Zhu's heart had succeeded.

Otherwise, given that Feng Han was already dead, the possibility of her being so enthusiastic about him would not be very high.

"The sect master is so complimentary."

"This time, Wei was only an auxiliary. Without the Dharma body of Venerable Han Yue, we would not have won so easily."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and said modestly.

This is his honest opinion.

If Venerable Han Yue's Dharma body had not taken action, causing Li Donghai to be seriously injured, even if he had extraordinary means, he would not have been able to kill Li Donghai in a short time without using his trump card.

Like Palace Master Luo, Zhuang Shou also benefited from the help of Venerable Han Yue's Dharma body.

Therefore, the greatest contributor to the ambush and killing of Feng Han’s gang must be the Dharmakaya of Venerable Han Yue.

However, because Venerable Han Yue’s status is too high, most of the time, the high-level members of the Jishan Sect would automatically ignore Venerable Han Yue’s “interference” during conversations.

After all, Sect Leader Zhu is not qualified to reward Venerable Han Yue.

"But Junior Brother Wei's contribution is also indispensable here."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Zhu laughed, thinking that Wei Tu was not too arrogant and knew his own limitations.

Although the character of independent cultivators is generally not bad, it is not uncommon to see independent cultivators who are powerful and have wild personalities.

What's more, Wei Tu is a genius who is a casual cultivator and has both strength and talent.

After chatting for a while.

Sect Leader Zhu got straight to the point and talked about the reward promised to Wei Tu and the specific distribution of benefits after Feng Han's death.

Regarding the remuneration, Master Zhu said that he would not go back on his word.

The position of the Hall Master of the Merit Hall and the outer disciple of Venerable Han Yue, these two identities will be fulfilled one by one by Sect Master Zhu in the next six months.

And the distribution of benefits.

Sect Leader Zhu stated that after 70% of the profits from the confiscation of the Merit Hall were returned to the public, the remaining 30% would be divided between Wei Tu, the future head of the Merit Hall, and Zhuang Shou, with 20% and 10%.

As for Palace Master Luo...

Sect Leader Zhu did not mention much.

Wei Tu was well aware of this.

Although Sect Master Zhu stood on the side of Palace Master Luo during the internal fight between Feng Han and Palace Master Luo, in fact, from beginning to end, Sect Master Zhu never regarded Palace Master Luo as his confidant, but only used him as a "lone minister".

The two of them only have a temporary alliance of interests.

Otherwise, Sect Leader Zhu would not have used him to say that he wanted to form an alliance with Palace Leader Luo to eliminate Feng Han.

Now, when it comes to dividing the spoils of war, Palace Master Luo naturally has no share.

Of course, if Palace Master Luo had arrived at Jishan Sect with the two of them, perhaps the situation would have been different, and he would have been able to gain some benefits.

It’s a pity that Palace Master Luo doesn’t have much interest in this.

Therefore, although he sighed that Palace Master Luo had gained nothing here, he would not deliberately come forward to disobey the order of Sect Master Zhu.

A clear stream has its own way of living.

A turbid current has its own way of living.

His being too talkative is not a good thing for Palace Master Luo.

Moreover, after Feng Han's death, Palace Master Luo knew the reason why Feng Han was hateful. Given his personality, how could he have the intention to divide up the spoils?

……

Half a day later.

Wei Tu and Zhuang Shou, who received the "house seizure order" from Sect Leader Zhu, directly gathered the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall and the Finance Hall, and came to the gate of "Linglu Peak", a sacred peak where the Merit Hall was located.

Saw this scene.

The monks in the Merit Hall did not just sit there and wait for death, but with a nervous look on their faces, they activated the Linglu Peak's protective formation with all their strength.

The Jishan Sect is not a small sect, but a sect of transformation that has stood on the inner ruins sea of ​​Guixu Sea for tens of thousands of years. The halls and peaks within the sect are almost the same as closed kingdoms, and are equivalent to a separatist force.

In other words, these monks of the Hall of Merit would obey the orders of Feng Han, the Hall Master of the Hall of Merit, rather than the orders of Sect Master Zhu, the leader of the sect.

Otherwise, Sect Leader Zhu would not have given Wei Tu the warrant to be the head of the Merit Hall, and at the same time, he would not have given him and Zhuang Shou the "confiscation order" to confiscate the Merit Hall's property.
