I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 630: A foot of natural chasm, condensing the Dharma (5k2, please subscribe)

"Of course, Wei will not let the Sect Master down on this matter."

Wei Tu responded with a smile.

Two hundred years later, he will become a god.

By then, whether to hand over the "Junshan Talisman" or not would be a matter of his own.

……

After stabilizing Sect Leader Zhu with a promise of two hundred years, Wei Tu returned to Linglu Peak and continued his practice in seclusion.

This time, he no longer delved into the art of talismans, but instead devoted himself to attacking the "one-foot-long chasm" between the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation realms.

As soon as this state is broken, he can go to the "Chongyan Secret Land" to condense the "Source Wood Dharma Image" and impact the God Transformation Realm.

Time flies and years pass by quickly.

Under Xu Yuqi's meticulous care, Linglu Peak gradually regained its former prosperity as it was when "Feng Han" was in power.

Although this woman was only at the foundation-building stage, she was Wei Tu's only soul servant and a seventh-rank official in the prime minister's office. Not many low-level cultivators in the Merit Hall or even in the Jishan Sect dared to offend her.

Of course, as Xu Yuqi's appearances increased and Wei Tu's appearances decreased, some high-level officials of the Jishan faction also began to criticize Wei Tu at high-level meetings, believing that Wei Tu's actions were suspected of dereliction of duty.

But unfortunately, with the "Junshan Talisman" about to be successfully drawn, there was no way that Sect Leader Zhu would hold back Wei Tu at this moment. He simply used his authority as the Sect Leader to suppress the criticism against Wei Tu.

In the eyes of Sect Leader Zhu, this was because Wei Tu had gone into seclusion and practiced hard in order to successfully draw the "Junshan Talisman".

In the blink of an eye, a decade has passed.

On this day, an extremely strong magical pressure suddenly emanated from the palace master's cave where Wei Tu was.

However, under the protection of the formation, this magical pressure disappeared like ripples on a lake, without alarming anyone.

"I got what I wanted. I finally reached the peak of the true Nascent Soul stage and broke through this one-foot chasm."

In the retreat room, Wei Tu opened his eyes and took a look at the green Yuanying floating in front of him. The infant body was more than a foot tall and looked similar to himself. He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

This time, he was in seclusion for sixty years, plus the previous seclusion time, he practiced for a full hundred years to reach his current level from the late Nascent Soul stage.

This period of practice was the longest period of seclusion he had ever had since he began his journey on the path of cultivation.

"There are still fifty years left. That's enough."

"It's just that there is a shortage of spiritual crystals..."

Wei Tu made some hand gestures to guide the Nascent Soul into his body, then he glanced around at the spirit crystal fragments and frowned slightly.

Originally, according to his budget, the spiritual crystal resources on him should be enough for him to break through the "one-foot natural chasm" and condense the "Source Wood Dharma Image" successfully.

However, when he broke through this time, the foundation of his Nascent Soul was too strong, and the height of his Nascent Soul body did not just break through one foot, but directly reached "one foot and one".

This inch of height directly consumed all the spiritual crystal resources accumulated in his body.

It is no exaggeration to say that he, the dignified master of the Merit Hall, does not have a single spirit crystal on him now.

"Selling talismans, borrowing on credit!"

After a little thought, Wei Tu quickly thought of two good ways to collect spirit crystals.

Ever since he used the "Double Golden Tripod Talisman" in the battle with Xu Wansun, countless Jishan Sect monks and external monks have wanted to trade talismans with him.

However, due to his practice and the desire to "keep a low profile" before breaking through to the God Transformation stage, he seldom traded talismans during the past hundred years.

Now, as long as it is not too high-profile, it is also feasible to sell some high-level talismans on a small scale and exchange them for spirit crystals.

As for borrowing on credit...

It was his second choice when he ran out of spirit crystals to sell talismans.

One inch long, one inch strong.

Since his infant body height was one inch longer than expected, the consumption of spiritual crystals to condense the Dharma image would also be more than expected.

Secondly, he felt that after his Nascent Soul reached "one foot and one", it had not yet reached its limit, but was forced to stop at this stage because the spirit crystals in his hands had been consumed.

Therefore, this time when he goes to the "Chongyan Secret Land" to break through to the God Transformation Realm, he must raise a huge sum of money of at least "Three Thousand Spirit Crystals".

Three thousand spirit crystals are basically equivalent to the entire wealth of a normal quasi-transformation god-level expert.

"Let's see who is interested in buying talismans from me first."

Wei Tu waved his sleeves, took the letters outside the cave door, and read them one by one.

Half a day later.

From these piles of letters, he selected more than twenty monks who were interested in purchasing talismans.

Among them, there are seven from Jishan Sect and fifteen external monks.

Among these foreign monks, not only were there some who were interested in purchasing his talismans, but some of them, in addition to purchasing the talismans, also planned to invite him to explore some ruins.

"For the time being, we will not consider sending monks abroad."

Wei Tu thought about it seriously and said.

With his knowledge, it was not difficult to see that although these foreign monks had the intention to purchase his talismans, there were also some monks who took this as an opportunity to set an ambush against him.

After all, the strategic strength bonus that a fourth-grade top-grade talisman master brings to the Jishan Sect is visible to the naked eye.

"As for the monks within the sect..."

Wei Tu touched his chin and fell into thought.

As for the transactions within the sect, these seven monks of Jishan Sect, or the high-level officials, would not pose any threat to him.

However, he was a newcomer to the Jishan Sect and was not familiar with the various factions within the sect. If he made a deal rashly, he could easily get himself into trouble.

This would go against his original intention of keeping a low profile.

After thinking for a while, Wei Tu came up with a plan.

He waved his sleeves, opened the cave door, and ordered "Xu Yuqi", who helped him with worldly affairs, to come in.

"After a long time, you have achieved a breakthrough to the late stage of foundation building. This is considered hard work."

Seeing Xu Yuqi, who was graceful and had the aura of a fairy, walk in, Wei Tu nodded slightly and praised her.

Jishan Sect is a major sect of the God Transformation Realm, which is different from the remote and poor place where he had stayed before in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It is common for some elite disciples of Jishan Sect to take a hundred years to complete the foundation-building process.

Although Xu Yuqi is not considered to have outstanding qualifications in the Jishan Sect, with his backing, his treatment is comparable to that of most of the direct disciples.

With these resources, coupled with diligent practice, it would be strange if this woman could not reach the "late stage of foundation building".

Therefore, Wei Tu only said that Xu Yuqi practiced hard enough, without mentioning the qualifications of this woman at all.

"It was all thanks to the ancestor. I dare not take credit for it."

Xu Yuqi bowed with a respectful attitude, without any arrogance towards an ordinary disciple.

She knew clearly that all her cultivation and power came from the "Ancestor Wei" in front of her.

With just one word from Patriarch Wei, she, a once lowly person, could be elevated above all the disciples of Jishan Sect. He could also just one word to throw her, the "fairy" in the eyes of all the disciples, into hell.

Hearing this, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Wei Tu's eyes.

Then, he didn't keep the secret any longer and told Xu Yuqi the purpose of summoning him into the cave.

"Send the letter to the Finance Palace for me."

Wei Tudao.

This time, the monk who came to him to buy the talisman was Zhuang Shou, whom he had known for a long time.

His idea was very simple, which was to sell all the high-level talismans in his hands to Zhuang Shou, and then have this person go to "sell the stolen goods".

With this man's seniority and shrewdness in the Jishan Sect, it would be impossible for him to cause any trouble by selling talismans.

"Yes, old man."

Xu Yuqi took the talisman, bowed to Wei Tu, and flew out of the cave.

However, just when I walked out of the cave.

She suddenly thought of something and turned back.

"Old Ancestor, a letter was delivered from Yuanjun Island more than ten years ago. It's just that you are in seclusion, so I can't disturb you."

Xu Yuqi took out a talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu.

"Over at Yuanjun Island?"

When Wei Tu heard this, his heart moved and he vaguely guessed who had handed the letter to him.

He took the talisman, looked at it, and said to himself, "As expected."

This letter was a "safety letter" handed to him by Fu Zhizhou.

The letter was not about anything else, but about the follow-up events of Wei Yan's transformation into an infant ninety years ago.

Ninety years ago, Wei Yan went into seclusion and began to transform into a baby. It was not until more than seventy years ago that he finally succeeded.

The reason why the delivery of the letter was extended for so many years was because Fu Zhizhou was also at the critical juncture of a breakthrough at that time, and it was inconvenient for him to travel thousands of miles to Neixu Sea to deliver the letter.

"It would be great if I could transform into an infant."

After reading the letter, Wei Tu smiled. He was happier than when he had broken through the "one-foot chasm".

After practicing for more than seven hundred years, among his blood relatives, only the brother and sister Wei Yan and Wei Xiuwen have always been by his side.

Now, Wei Xiuwen’s path is hopeless and he can only end up dying in meditation. If Wei Yan dies again due to a breakthrough, then he will truly become a “lonely man”.

Although the world of immortal cultivation is great, it was only when he was in the mortal world and spent decades in Qingmu County that he truly had a "home".

……

When Xu Yuqi was delivering a letter to Zhuang Shou.

Wei Tu also took the opportunity to leave Linglu Peak and headed to Tieshou Peak where the Law Enforcement Hall was located.

This time, the person in his mind for "borrowing spiritual crystals on credit" was undoubtedly Luqiu Qingfeng, the first choice.

Since this woman intends to invest all her energy in him, he will not be shy about speaking up. After all, they have already had physical contact and are in the same trench.

"How much does Weilang need?"

Although Lvqiu Qingfeng was surprised that Wei Tu, the talisman master, asked her to borrow spiritual crystals on credit, she was not a stingy person and would not be stingy for a few spiritual crystals. Hearing this, Wei Tu was secretly grateful.

Although he knew that Luqiu Qingfeng would never refuse his request to borrow spiritual crystals on credit, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart after seeing Luqiu Qingfeng being so decisive.

But at this moment, he did not say the specific amount, but paused and asked: "How much can the princess borrow?"

Three thousand spirit crystals were the minimum amount of spirit crystals he needed to raise before going to the "Chongyan Secret Land" for retreat.

Above that, the more the better.

The more spirit crystals he has, the greater his chances of a breakthrough.

"How much can I borrow?"

Hearing this, Luqiu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, narrowed her eyes, and uttered a disdainful "huh" sound.

Immediately, she undressed with rustling clothes, took out the three storage bags and two storage bracelets hidden on her body, and threw them to Wei Tu.

"There are about 700 spirit crystals in here, as well as a fourth-level upper-grade magic weapon, three fourth-level middle-grade magic weapons... and countless other spiritual medicines and spiritual materials..."

"If Wei Lang wants more spirit crystals, he can just sell these belongings."

Luqiu Qingfeng glanced at Wei Tu and pretended to be magnanimous.

She believed that Wei Tu was not a greedy person, and even if he encountered financial difficulties for a while, he would never live off her for free.

But just as she finished saying this, what happened next made her face freeze completely.

Wei Tu actually took her "joke" seriously, and simply waved his sleeves, taking away all her wealth.

This made her heart bleed instantly.

Luqiu Qingfeng never thought that Wei Tu was so shameless. After taking her body, he took away all her wealth.

However, at this moment, she did not blame Wei Tu too much in her heart.

This is not her way of bragging.

But she knew that if Wei Tu wanted to take her wealth, he could have snatched it away a hundred years ago when he imprisoned her in the Law Enforcement Hall.

At this time, when Wei Tu said "borrow", it must mean "borrow".

The reason why she felt so distressed and bleed for this was that the wealth she had accumulated with great difficulty was gone in one day, and she didn't know when Wei Tu would be able to repay her.

"There are still fifty years left."

Luqiu Qingfeng calculated the time, waiting for the surprise that Wei Tu had promised her.

Before this surprise arrives, no matter how excessive Wei Tu does, her trust in Wei Tu will not collapse.

……

The process of raising spirit crystals went smoother than Wei Tu had imagined.

After borrowing about seven hundred spirit crystals on credit from Luqiu Qingfeng.

He then sold the talisman in his hand to Zhuang Shou and successfully obtained 1,400 spirit crystals.

This amount was much lower than Wei Tu had imagined because he shipped a lot of goods and the sales target was the same person, so Zhuang Shou lowered the price.

But this was also within Weitu's expectations.

After all, if he sells it to Zhuang Shou, he doesn't need to bear the risk of shipping. It's normal for the price to be low.

This price is still far from his target of "three thousand spirit crystals".

However, he also had other plans.

After finishing the talisman sales, he secretly changed his appearance and left Jishan Sect, looking for a nearby market, where he sold and mortgaged some of his fourth-level magical instruments and elixirs, and then borrowed some spiritual crystals on credit at high interest rates.

After this series of operations, his wealth was greatly reduced. Apart from high-level spiritual treasures such as the "Xuanling Gold Chain" and the "Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring", he only had a few magical weapons left.

However, because of this, he was able to raise another 1,200 spirit crystals.

At this point, the amount of spirit crystals in his hands once again broke through the 3,000 mark, reaching a huge 3,300.

But… this time he overdrew his “credit” like a gambler, selling and mortgaging magical instruments and other spiritual objects. If he fails to break through, it will be difficult for him to recover in the next few hundred years.

Fortunately, the "one-foot-long natural chasm" has been broken, and he has enough confidence in reaching the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

……

After collecting enough spirit crystals, Wei Tu did not hesitate and immediately applied to Jishan Sect to go to the "Chongyan Secret Land" to practice.

The Chongyan Secret Land was the only fifth-level spiritual land in the Jishan Sect. It was also the best place for him to choose to retreat and break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

a few days later.

Wei Tu successfully entered the secret place of Chongyan.

This secret place is located in a huge mountain that blocks out the sun and the sky. There are many caves scattered among the mountains, probably more than a hundred of them.

As soon as he entered this place, Wei Tu immediately felt the abundant spiritual energy in the secret place, as well as the aura of the powerful gods lingering in it.

Just like the "Jishan Secret Land" was occupied by Venerable Hanyue, the "Chongyan Secret Land" was also occupied by a Venerable Huashen in the Jishan Sect six thousand years ago.

However, no matter how powerful a god is, there will come a day when he will pass away.

Six thousand years ago, after the death of the Venerable Huashen who occupied the Chongyan Secret Land, this secret land was left deserted and began to be opened to the higher-ups in the sect.

“This place is probably the same as the secret place in Jishan, where there exists some Dharma.” Wei Tu thought to himself.

However, he just thought about it and didn't intend to pry into it too much.

After all, the meaning of Dharma is something that only the masters of the Divine Transformation Realm can access and comprehend.

After wandering around the Chongyan Secret Land, Wei Tu randomly found a remote cave, set up a fourth-order formation outside, then walked in and began to meditate.

A few months later.

The foundation of his Nascent Soul was further consolidated, and the height of his Nascent Soul body broke through from "one foot and one half" to "one foot and two half".

"Congeal!"

After regulating his breathing for several days, Wei Tu did not waste any time. His eyes were bright, and he clasped his hands together to attract the surrounding spiritual energy, breathing it into his body, and began to condense the symbol of the Nascent Soul stage's breakthrough to the Quasi-Transformation Divine Realm - the Dharmakāya.

With the experience of practicing the "pseudo Dharmakaya" of "Small Big Dipper Magic", he is not unfamiliar with the matter of condensing Dharmakaya, and can even be considered familiar with it.

Of course, this is only limited to the initial stage of condensing the Dharma phase. He has no experience in the later stage when the Dharma phase "transforms from virtual to real".

"Source Wood Dharma Image..."

As the spiritual energy entered his body, Wei Tu's mind began to emerge one by one with the words and sentences of the techniques and divine intentions in the Source Wood Sutra regarding condensing the "Source Wood Dharma Image".

One day.

Two days...

Time passes slowly.

Two years later.

In Wei Tu's Dantian, the green Nascent Soul sat cross-legged with his palms connected. The pure wood spiritual power on his palms gradually condensed into a green little man that looked similar to him.

However, this green little man is just the condensation of spiritual power, which is fundamentally different from the agility of Wei Tu's Nascent Soul.

After seeing the green little man, a hint of joy appeared on the green Nascent Soul's face, and his chubby hands began to continuously pinch the magic formula to hit the green little man.

After a while, the green light on the green man became more intense and had a more verdant color.

Another year has passed.

With the influx of Wei Tu's magic power, the little green man grew bigger and bigger, and was half the height of a Nascent Soul.

At this moment, the green little man suddenly exploded and turned into a "green gauze dress" that was draped over Wei Tu's Nascent Soul, wrapping Wei Tu's Nascent Soul tightly.

"Is this the Dharma?"

Wei Tu was extremely surprised, he did not expect that the process of condensing the "Source Wood Dharma Image" would be so easy, so easy that he mistakenly thought that he was just practicing a kind of magical power.

He didn't know that this was because he had broken through the "one-foot-long chasm".

Dharmadhatu is exclusive to the God of Transformation.

He broke through the "one-foot chasm" and naturally met the threshold to condense the "divine form".

As for those cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and the quasi-God Transformation stage, trying to condense the God Transformation Dharma Image without meeting this threshold is as difficult as forcing a Qi training cultivator to condense a golden elixir. It is an extremely difficult task.

In other words.

At this moment, he is making breakthroughs step by step.

The other monks took a narrow path, which was not only extremely narrow but also extremely rugged.

"The current Dharmakāya is only a half-Dharmakāya like Xu Wansun. If you want to break through to the Divine Transformation, this Dharmakāya must be transformed from virtual to real and become the true Divine Transformation Dharmakāya..."

Wei Tu suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued his retreat.

As the master of the Hall of Merit, he can stay in the "Chongyan Secret Land" for five years every hundred years.

Plus the three years specially approved by Sect Leader Zhu.

Every hundred years, he can stay in the Chongyan Secret Land for a total of eight years.

But he has been a member of the Jishan School for nearly two hundred years.

These eight years can be doubled to sixteen years.

Sixteen years have passed, and only three years have passed so far.

In other words, he can continue to stay in the Chongyan Secret Land for another thirteen years.

Thirteen years...

Wei Tu estimated that this time was enough for his Dharma image to "transform from virtual to real" and become a true incarnation of the Gods.

Once the divine form is completed, his realm will be broken.

By then, no one would be stupid enough to hinder his breakthrough because of the length of time he has stayed in the Chongyan Secret Land.

Even Venerable Han Yue wouldn't dare to do that.

There is no other reason. Once covered by the divine tribulation, no matter how powerful Venerable Han Yue is, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.
