I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 627 Return to Jishan Sect, Chongyan Secret Land (4k2, please subscribe)

Before going to Jishan Sect, Wei Tu did not forget the soul servant "Xu Yuqi" whom he placed in the cave of the worship hall.

After he took the girl with him, he and Luqiu Qingfeng took the long-distance teleportation array to Jishan Sect.

Along the way, Luqiu Qingfeng did not pay much attention to Xu Yuqi, the female cultivator next to Wei Tu. He just glanced at her briefly and then ignored her as if she were air.

A mere female cultivator at the foundation-building stage is not even worthy of her attention.

Besides, she could still differentiate between a soul servant and an emotionally tied partner.

Luqiu Qingfeng even took the initiative to suggest that if Wei Tu lacked anyone to serve him, she could send her own servants in the palace to serve Wei Tu.

Wei Tu would naturally not agree with this.

Although he knew that Luqiu Qingfeng had good intentions and was unlikely to plant spies or traitors for him, and was only thinking about his future enjoyment, he was not the kind of person who pursued luxury and ostentation, so why would he care about such things?

It’s okay to relax appropriately.

But that has to wait until he achieves divine enlightenment.

……

a few days later.

Through the ultra-long-distance teleportation array, Wei Tu, Luqiu Qingfeng and Xu Yuqi successfully arrived at Jishan Sect.

After entering Jishan Sect, Wei Tu made some simple arrangements for Luqiu Qingfeng and Xu Yuqi, then immediately rushed to the main hall to pay a visit to Sect Master Zhu.

Sect Master Zhu is his only background and immediate superior in the Jishan Sect.

Paying respect to Sect Leader Zhu as soon as possible is the attitude he should have as a "confidant".

"Junior Brother Wei is thoughtful."

Inside the main hall, Sect Leader Zhu, who had just received information that Wei Tu had returned to the sect, showed a hint of satisfaction on his old face when he saw Wei Tu coming.

A few days ago, when he got the details of the battle between Wei Tu and Xu Wansun, he was worried that Wei Tu would be out of his control, but now it seems that Wei Tu is still quite respectful to him.

At least, for a few hundred years, there is no need to worry too much.

"The sect master is too praiseworthy."

Wei Tu bowed and thanked him, then went to Yuanjun Island to report on his work.

He recounted the negotiation process between him and Luqiu Qingfeng, as well as the fundamental reason why Luqiu Qingfeng voluntarily pleaded guilty because he was "afraid of Jishan Sect's action."

In the process of narrating, he also bluntly pointed out that Luqiu Qingfeng had carried out "physical bribery" on him, a high-ranking official of the clan, in order to protect himself.

After hearing this, Sect Leader Zhu nodded secretly.

In addition to Wei Tu, the person who was sent to destroy the marriage between Xiaohuan Palace and Luqiu clan, he also secretly sent two other assassins to lurk in Yuanjun Island.

At this time, everything Wei Tu said was consistent with the development of events reported by the killer, which was enough to prove that Wei Tu did not deceive him in this regard.

"Junior Brother Wei sent me the Jade Sceptre. This Luqiu Qingfeng is a man of knowledge. He knows that Junior Brother Wei is extraordinary and is willing to offer it to me..."

Sect Leader Zhu smiled slightly, but in his words, he agreed to the "private deal" between Wei Tu and Luqiu Qingfeng.

Although the process of this incident was beyond his expectations, the result was good and the original purpose was achieved.

This was better than what he had imagined, which was to kill Luqiu Qingfeng with an assassin and violently destroy the marriage.

Killing Luqiu Qingfeng would deter the affiliated forces and serve as a warning to others, but it would also cause some of the affiliated forces to become disloyal and further betray the Jishan Sect.

Assassination is always the last resort to solve problems!

Half an hour later.

Wei Tu has finished his work report.

At this time, Sect Leader Zhu did not continue talking about this matter, but changed the topic and asked about the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman" used by Wei Tu in the battle with Xu Wansun.

"Junior Brother Wei, have you already drawn this talisman?"

Sect Leader Zhu narrowed his eyes and asked.

Although he gave Wei Tu 300 years to draw the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman", it did not mean that Wei Tu could only report the matter to him after 300 years.

He was worried that Wei Tu had drawn the talisman long ago and had been hiding it from him.

This worry is not because he is suspicious.

But it was Wei Tu’s realm of cultivation that he had never reported to him truthfully.

If it weren't for the battle between Wei Tu and Xu Wansun, which exposed his realm, he might still be kept in the dark until now, mistakenly believing that Wei Tu was still in the "Middle Nascent Soul" realm.

"After I left the sect, I stayed on Yuanjun Island... I came up with an idea by chance and drew two double-layer golden tripod talismans."

Wei Tu began to explain, and his answer was flawless.

He knew that hiding his cultivation and the progress of drawing the Double Golden Tripod Talisman would arouse the suspicion of Sect Leader Zhu, but he did not think that these two things would bring him disaster or death.

At most, it would just make Sect Leader Zhu's trust in him decrease a little.

The sentence "I am a casual cultivator" can explain everything.

As a casual cultivator, he naturally distrusts the Jishan Sect and Sect Master Zhu, so it is normal for him to hide his shortcomings.

Complete trust is a very strange thing.

Furthermore, his value has now been revealed. It is impossible for the Jishan Sect to lose the greater good for the smaller one and bury him, the master of talismans who could draw the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman" just because of this suspicion towards him.

as predicted.

Just as Wei Tu expected.

Sect Leader Zhu did not interrogate him on this matter. After hearing his reply, he nodded and let the chapter go.

"Can you draw ten double-layer golden tripod talismans within thirty years?" asked Sect Master Zhu with shining eyes.

"Can!"

Wei Tu nodded and agreed.

This inquiry seemed like an inquiry, but in fact, it left him no room to refuse, and was no different from an "order".

If he pretends to obey but actually disobeys on this matter, then it won't matter whether Jishan Sect has him as the talisman master or not.

On the other hand, as long as he can continue to produce the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman", Sect Leader Zhu and the Jishan Sect will tolerate almost everything he does.

This is the dignity of a craftsman.

This is also the reason why even after most craftsmen have a "bad temper", the practitioners of the same power still indulge them.

“However, I would like to ask the sect leader for a favor.” After agreeing, Wei Tu hesitated for a moment and said.

"What favor is it?"

Sect Leader Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile.

As long as Wei Tu doesn't ask for too much, he doesn't mind fulfilling some of Wei Tu's wishes.

"Wei wants to spend more time practicing in the Chongyan Secret Land."

Wei Tu bowed and said.

The Chongyan Secret Land is the only "fifth-level spiritual land" in the Jishan Sect, and it is also the only spiritual land where the practitioners of the Jishan Sect can hope to practice.

As for the other fifth-level spiritual land, it has been occupied by Venerable Han Yue, a Venerable in the state of transformation, and is not open to other cultivators.

Decades ago, before he joined Jishan Sect, Palace Master Luo once said that there would be a benefit for him after he became the "worshipping elder" of Jishan Sect.

This benefit, in fact, is the welfare that the elders of Jishan Sect receive when they enter the "Chongyan Secret Land" to practice.

——A fifth-level secret place with powerful spiritual pressure that can increase the chances of breakthrough for Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, this obviously had no effect on Wei Tu, who had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

He went to the Chongyan Secret Land with only one purpose, which was to use the spiritual energy and spiritual pressure of the Chongyan Secret Land to condense his own "Source Wood Dharma Image".

However, this purpose should not be told to outsiders.

Wei Tu's reason was very simple. He told Sect Leader Zhu that he went to the "Chongyan Secret Land" in order to increase the chances of successfully drawing the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman".

"The Double Golden Tripod Talisman is a top-level talisman of the fourth rank. With my current level, it is still a bit difficult for me to draw it. If I can get help from the Chongyan Secret Land... I can increase my chances by half!"

Wei Tu groaned and added, "Half done?" Upon hearing this, Sect Master Zhu was moved.

The higher the level of the talisman, the harder it is to draw. For a top-level fourth-level talisman like the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman", if an ordinary fourth-level talisman master can have a success rate of more than 30%, it can be said that he has achieved great attainments.

Nowadays, if Wei Tu can increase his success rate by half when drawing talismans in the "Chongyan Secret Land", then over time, it will be a huge increase in resources for the Jishan Sect.

In addition——

It would be difficult to reward Wei Tu without special honor.

This time, Wei Tu's mission was successful. He perfectly resolved the rebellious intentions of the subordinate forces of the Luqiu clan, and he also successfully drew the double golden tripod talisman, becoming the top talisman master in the Guixu Sea cultivation world...

It would inevitably be inappropriate for him to give Wei Tu the same treatment as before.

Rewarding Wei Tu with time to practice in the "Chongyan Secret Land" is indeed a good reward.

"According to the rules of our sect, the sect monks at the level of Palace Master can practice in the Chongyan Secret Land for five years every hundred years..."

"If you want to increase the length of your practice, you must redeem it with merits, and the maximum time limit is no more than three years."

"...But considering that Junior Brother Wei is dedicated to the public, I can give you more training time at my discretion."

"In half a year, I will convene a high-level meeting to discuss this matter. By then, a two to three year duration should be feasible."

Sect Leader Zhu thought for a moment and said slowly.

With his power as the sect leader, he could bypass a group of high-level officials and directly increase Wei Tu's training time in the "Chongyan Secret Land", but this would inevitably lead to criticism, and the cost would be too high.

Moreover, if Wei Tu asked and he agreed... then Wei Tu would also think that everything he obtained came too easily.

This is also a taboo for those in power.

At that time, if the senior leaders do not agree, he can give Wei Tu special treatment, and what he will receive will be "great favor".

"Thank you, Master."

Wei Tu stood up and thanked him.

He didn't know the scope of the sect leader's power, so he didn't know what Sect Leader Zhu was thinking.

This matter was just something he mentioned casually. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy. But if it failed, he would look for other opportunities to increase the time he could stay in the Chongyan Secret Land.

……

After talking about the "Land of Heavy Rocks".

Wei Tu did not continue chatting with Sect Master Zhu for a long time. After asking Sect Master Zhu for a warrant to escort Luqiu Qingfeng, he stood up, said goodbye, and flew out of the main hall.

"Palace Master Lao Luo is here."

Wei Tu flew to the Law Enforcement Hall, handed Sect Leader Zhu's order to Palace Leader Luo, and bowed.

When acting, you have to do the whole thing.

Since it was Luqiu Qingfeng who took the initiative to ask for forgiveness, it would be inappropriate for the Jishan Sect to lightly expose the guilt and give others a chance to criticize.

In addition, locking Luqiu Qingfeng in the Law Enforcement Hall can also be considered a form of protection for Luqiu Qingfeng.

——After Luqiu Qingfeng apologized, this woman undoubtedly greatly offended Xiaohuan Palace and Tong Zunzhe.

Wei Tu didn't know whether Venerable Tong was as tolerant as Luqiu Qingfeng said, but he knew one thing, that is, those cultivators who could reach the pinnacle of the realm in the cultivation world were, without exception, not ordinary people.

If he were Master Tong, it would be difficult for him to give up easily on someone like Luqiu Qingfeng who went against his will.

Four words, no example can be given!

Even if Venerable Tong does not take action, Xiaohuan Palace, the organization that carries out Venerable Tong's will, might help Venerable Tong to kill Luqiu Qingfeng.

However, the Jishan Sect is not completely airtight.

Especially the Merit Hall.

After the purge, there were still many remnants of Feng Han in the Merit Hall.

Therefore, the best place for Luqiu Qingfeng at the moment is the Law Enforcement Hall controlled by Palace Master Luo.

The prison of the Law Enforcement Hall is also the most secure place in the Jishan Sect, except for the place where Venerable Hanyue is.

It's a kind of protective "confinement".

"Lüqiu Qingfeng?" After receiving the order from Sect Master Zhu, Palace Master Luo was stunned for a moment. After all, in his memory, Wei Tu and Luqiu Qingfeng were still good friends.

Later, with Wei Tu's explanation, Palace Master Luo finally understood the complex relationship between the two.

"Please trouble Palace Master Luo to arrange a secluded place for the Ninth Princess. It would be best if there is also a spirit gathering formation with restrictions to prevent others from spying..."

Wei Tu thought for a while and asked.

Upon hearing this, Palace Master Luo frowned slightly. Being a man of integrity by nature, he had never shown mercy except for the time when Venerable Han Yue pleaded for mercy, let alone handle these trivial matters according to the "wishes of the family members".

But considering that Wei Tu was his daughter's benefactor, the arrest of Luqiu Qingfeng was not because the other party had violated any law...

If I reject Wei Tu, I might be hated by the next "Feng Han"...

He hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

"I'll remember these."

"But, just this once."

Palace Master Luo warned.

He doesn't want to open too many back doors, because if he does, his principles in doing things will gradually be lost.

"nature."

Wei Tu agreed with a smile.

……

Half a day later.

Under Wei Tu's arrangement, the law enforcement team led by Palace Master Luo's second disciple "Yan Baikui" directly took away Luqiu Qingfeng, who was temporarily staying in the Merit Palace, and detained him in the prison under the Tieshou Peak.

These scenes horrified the pampered Luqiu Qingfeng. If Wei Tu had not been by her side, she might have already started running for her life when the monks from the Law Enforcement Hall arrived.

"It will be fine once we get through this period of time."

Wei Tu comforted Luqiu Qingfeng.

After he becomes a god, no matter if there is a threat from Venerable Wu Tong, he can keep Luqiu Qingfeng safe.

"In another year, I will be the ruler of the Luqiu clan. This is really... one thought to heaven, one thought to prison."

Luqiu Qingfeng sat alone in the corner of the prison. She shook her head, with a hint of mockery on her pretty face.

Her ridicule was not directed at Wei Tu, but rather a lament for the fickleness of the world.

One hundred years ago, she was a member of the Luqiu clan. Although she was a legitimate princess, she was ostracized and suppressed by Luqiu Jinyuan. She lived in fear all day, fearing that Luqiu Jinyuan would gain power and she would not have a good end.

Later, with the help of Wei Tu, she deprived Luqiu Jinyuan of his bloodline, broke through the late Nascent Soul stage, became the crown prince of the Luqiu clan, and began to truly spread her wings and roam in the Guixu Sea.

But now, he has taken another step into the prison.

Of course, Luqiu Qingfeng also knew that this prison was just a protective confinement requested by Wei Tu for her.

Otherwise, the environment of this prison wouldn’t be so good… and she wouldn’t still have her cultivation level and not been imprisoned by the Jishan Sect.

only--

What she didn't know was how long Wei Tu would have to hide for.

Ten years? A hundred years?
Or a thousand years?
"One hundred and fifty years?"

At this moment, Luqiu Qingfeng suddenly thought of the surprise that Wei Tu had told her about when they were on Yuanjun Island.

"I've been waiting for this for one hundred and fifty years!"

Luqiu Qingfeng looked at Wei Tu standing in front of her, a look of determination appeared on her face, and she thought secretly in her heart.

One hundred and fifty years later, although she did not think that Wei Tu had the capital to challenge Xiao Huan Palace, she believed that Wei Tu, a man who dared to take responsibility, was by no means a fraud.
