I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 633: The identity of the co-wife, the purpose of ascension (3k6, please subscribe)

"You and I are both at the Spiritual Transformation Realm. From now on, we will address each other as brothers. There is no need to dwell on the previous master-disciple relationship."

"The master-disciple relationship is only to constrain the disciples outside the sect master's lineage."

Venerable Han Yue added.

Hearing this, Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and completely understood Venerable Han Yue's attitude.

He actually intended to treat him as an equal.

This was obviously exactly what he wanted.

"Wei has met Senior Brother Han Yue."

Wei Tu bowed and accepted the title.

"Uncle Wei..."

"Greetings to Uncle Wei..."

Upon hearing this, all the practitioners of Jishan Sect present were moved and quickly changed the way they addressed Wei Tu.

Among them was Sect Leader Zhu.

However, at this moment, in addition to the outward respect, Sect Leader Zhu also felt a little sad.

It’s okay to call him Venerable Han Yue, but this is the first time I meet Wei Tu, so there’s nothing wrong with changing his address.

But he was different. Ever since he joined Wei Tu's school, he had always regarded himself as Wei Tu's senior brother and called Wei Tu "Junior Brother Wei" for more than a hundred years.

Now, Wei Tu was suddenly promoted to become his nominal uncle... No matter how prepared he was, it was difficult for him to let it go easily.

You know, being able to become the leader of Jishan Sect, he has always enjoyed the treatment of a genius during the thousand years in Jishan Sect, and others have always regarded him as having been promoted.

This was the first time in his life that he saw someone else being promoted.

However, what Sect Leader Zhu didn’t know was that at this moment, there was another person among the crowd who had even more mixed feelings than he did, and that was his other confidant “Zhuang Shou”.

The reason why Zhuang Shou was in a complicated mood was not because of Wei Tu's promotion, but because he was worried whether he had offended Wei Tu.

Several decades ago, he purchased a batch of fourth-order talismans from Wei Tu at a bargain price.

At that time, I felt that I had gotten a great advantage, but now that I see that Wei Tuzheng has reached the Divine Transformation Realm, I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

……

After greeting the practitioners of Jishan Sect.

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and then looked towards the direction of Tieshou Peak.

Seeing this, Sect Master Zhu immediately understood what was going on. He bowed and stepped forward, saying, "My nephew will remove the punishment for Lord Luqiu right away. I will clear a new sacred peak for Lord Luqiu to live in."

The "punishment" of Luqiu Qingfeng was originally a means for Wei Tu to destroy the marriage between the Luqiu clan and the Xiaohuan Palace. It was just a show.

But after Master Tong of Xiaohuan Palace got angry and executed the cultivators of Luqiu Yeming's lineage, the life and death of Luqiu Qingfeng who was imprisoned in Tieshou Peak... became a matter of concern.

The Jishan Sect is not afraid of the Xiaohuan Palace, but the Venerable is the Venerable after all, and they have to give the Venerable Maitong some face.

——Lock Luqiu Qingfeng in Tieshou Peak and don’t kill him, but don’t let him go free easily.

This way, no one will lose face.

This was a tacit understanding maintained between the Jishan School and the Xiaohuan Palace School during Wei Tu's retreat.

But now...

With the emergence of Venerable Wei in Jishan Sect, what does Venerable Tong of Xiaohuan Palace matter to?
Naturally, there is no need to maintain this tacit understanding!
"No need! I will go there in person to welcome the princess away from Iron Hunting Peak and restore her freedom."

Wei Tu said calmly.

After the words fell, Sect Leader Zhu did not dare to speak again. He looked up at Venerable Han Yue who was standing with Wei Tu.

It is not difficult to set Luqiu Qingfeng free. There is no need to offend one's own Venerable Wei for the sake of a mere Venerable Tong.

But Wei Tu was going to come and welcome her in person... This was a very serious political signal. It seemed that he was planning to break off relations with Master Tong just for Luqiu Qingfeng?
This matter was obviously beyond his ability to decide.

He quickly sent a message to inform Venerable Han Yue of the specific details of the matter.

Hearing this, Venerable Han Yue frowned slightly. It would not be a good thing to confront Xiao Huan Gong rashly.

"However, there is no reason for the Jishan Sect to be afraid of the Xiaohuan Palace."

"However, Junior Brother Wei needs to make a careful decision on this matter."

Venerable Han Yue said in a serious tone.

However, after the words came out, Venerable Han Yue felt that it was inappropriate. Asking Wei Tu to "consider it carefully" seemed a bit weak.

He paused and added, "Confronting Xiao Huan Palace is no small matter. Han Yue and Ji Shan Sect are not afraid, but Junior Brother Wei also needs to weigh the importance of this matter and not make a rash decision."

What he meant was simple.

He is not afraid of Xiaohuan Palace or Jishan Sect.

But Wei Tu also needs to consider whether it is necessary to do so for a "favored concubine" who is obtained in exchange for benefits.

In a word.

A real man will never worry about not having a wife!
Not to mention concubines.

There is really no need to get so angry about this.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was silent for a moment, and only said one sentence, "I am striving to reach the God Transformation stage, and three out of ten of my spiritual crystals were invested by Princess Luqiu. Princess Luqiu has spent all her money on this. If I don't personally welcome this girl out of prison, I'm afraid that the gods and the heavens will all hate me."

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Neither Venerable Han Yue nor Sect Leader Zhu had any intention of persuading Wei Tu.

How can I persuade him like this?

Investing in Wei Tu Hua Shen is a great favor alone.

Not to mention, Luqiu Qingfeng invested all his fortune in Wei Tu.

If they were Wei Tu, they would probably be moved after seeing Luqiu Qingfeng's actions.

A wife who has shared the hardships of life should not be abandoned.

Now, they are persuading Wei Tu to give up Luqiu Qingfeng. So what will they do if they themselves are in trouble in the future?
If one only talks about devotion to the sect without seeking corresponding "protection", then the sect has no value in existence.

Even a god can’t protect his family, let alone them?
In addition, if they really persuaded Wei Tu to give up Luqiu Qingfeng, then could they, the Jishan Sect, still trust this "treacherous" master of the Divine Transformation?

After Wei Tu said this, they now have only two choices.

One, either help Wei Tu, regard Master Tong as an enemy, and break with Xiao Huan Palace.

Second, either help Venerable Tong and keep Wei Tu, who has just broken through to the divine transformation, out.

However, between these two choices, no matter how stupid they are, they will never choose the second one.

"In that case..."

"I'll send you to be my assistant!"

After thinking for a moment, Venerable Han Yue made the final decision.

"Be the assistant to the uncle!"

"Assist Uncle Wei..."

The top leaders of the Jishan faction immediately expressed their stance.

Hearing these words, Wei Tu, who knew that his plan had worked, immediately showed a look of gratitude on his face, and began to thank all the practitioners of Jishan Sect in front of him.

In fact, he was not very interested in revenge against Tong Zun. The so-called revenge against Tong Zun was just to attract Tong Zun as an external enemy, create external conflicts and sunk costs, so that he, a self-cultivating Huashen Zun, could unite with Hanyue Zun and Jishan Sect's cultivators.

He was concerned about his situation within the Jishan Sect.

He knew the nature of power. It was nothing more than a group of people forming cliques with another group of people. If there were no external conflicts, internal conflicts would naturally arise.

However, although this was his underlying purpose, what he had said before was not false.

He did intend to welcome Luqiu Qingfeng in person.

I do intend to repay this woman.

As for the underlying purpose of this action, it was both a deliberate plan and an unintentional one.

……

After the practitioners of Jishan Sect expressed their stance.

Wei Tu did not waste any more time. He waved his sleeves and immediately turned into a flying rainbow, shooting towards the direction of Tieshou Peak.

Upon seeing this scene, Venerable Han Yue, Sect Master Zhu and others immediately moved and flew over together.

"Venerable Transformation God? Is this true?"

A moment later, Luqiu Qingfeng, who was released from prison, looked at Wei Tu, whose realm aura had greatly increased, and Venerable Han Yue, who was standing in the clouds like an immortal in the distance... She pinched her palm secretly, fearing that she was dreaming.

Even though she had already learned from Palace Master Luo, who was observing Wei Tu's breakthrough, several months ago that Wei Tu was about to break through to the God Transformation stage.

But how can this compare to seeing it in person?

Besides, she had never thought that Wei Tu would mobilize such a large force to come to Tieshou Peak to welcome her in person.

She thought in her heart that with her support, Wei Tu would not forget her after he reached the pinnacle of divine transformation and would repay her.

But her biggest idea was that after Wei Tu broke through to the God Transformation stage and consolidated his cultivation, he would send a cultivator to take her to the cave and raise her as his favorite concubine...

This is the greatest honor given to her.

"why?"

Luqiu Qingfeng wanted to ask this question in front of Wei Tu.

She knew that she was not a necessary condition for Wei Tu to achieve the state of incarnation. Even without her, Wei Tu could get support from other cultivators with his ability, and even trade for enough spirit crystals to break through.

However, when the words reached her throat, she swallowed them and did not say them out loud.

She didn't want to break the "illusion" of this scene.

"Princess, you can be my wife."

At this time, Luqiu Qingfeng also heard Wei Tu's confirmation of her status.

"Plain wife?"

Luqiu Qingfeng was stunned. With the current etiquette standards that Weitu had for her, she couldn't even get the status of a Taoist companion?
Daoist companion is a name used in the world of cultivating immortals.

Most of them only have one person with them.

The second wife, on the other hand, is more ordinary.

One wife and two concubines, this is the three wives in what people call "three wives and four concubines".

It was not only Luqiu Qingfeng who was puzzled. The practitioners of Jishan Sect who followed Wei Tu were also puzzled.

"Wei is already married in his hometown."

Wei Tu explained solemnly.

After hearing this, the practitioners suddenly understood and stopped asking questions.

Sect Leader Zhu, who knew the details of how Wei Tu and Luqiu Qingfeng got along, was even less puzzled by this.

At first, Luqiu Qingfeng was willing to serve Wei Tu only because of a deal, in order to join Wei Tu, a high-ranking official of Jishan Sect.

Now, having obtained the "equal wife status" of the Venerable Huashen, it is a blessing that Luqiu Qingfeng would find difficult to obtain in several lifetimes.

Including Luqiu Qingfeng, she also thought so.

However, what Luqiu Qingfeng didn't know was that Wei Tu was willing to make this decision, not only because she gave up all her assets for investment, but also because her behavior was very similar to the "old friend" deep in Wei Tu's memory.

Otherwise, Wei Tu would not easily marry again except "Wang Sutai" who was married for political marriage.

……

After welcoming Luqiu Qingfeng out of the prison, Venerable Hanyue began to take charge and rearranged the cave for Wei Tu.

Although the concentration of spiritual power in Linglu Peak is not low, it is too scarce for a Divine Transformation Master.

"My sect has two fifth-level spiritual places, one is the Jishan Secret Land, and the other is the Chongyan Secret Land. Now, the Jishan Secret Land is occupied by my brother, and the remaining Chongyan Secret Land... will be given to Junior Brother Wei."

Venerable Han Yue spoke.

"However, it is different from what I did before. Now it is not appropriate for you and I to occupy these two secret places separately. We need to open up some of the spiritual land for the monks in the sect to practice."

Venerable Han Yue pondered for a while and then spoke again.

Hearing this, Wei Tu had no objection.

Although in terms of the division of spiritual land, his share was a little shabby compared to Venerable Han Yue who had previously occupied an entire fifth-level spiritual land and needed to share it with the monks in the sect, but since Venerable Han Yue had set an example and took the initiative to reduce some of his own interests, he had nothing to say.

"In addition to the spiritual land, in the appointment and dismissal of the sect's personnel, in addition to the sect master's lineage, Junior Brother Wei can set aside three halls and two peaks to cultivate as the direct lineage..."

Venerable Han Yue talked about the division of power within the sect.

In the past, the sect's venerables were basically all descendants of the sect master, so there was no need to divide the direct lineage. However, Wei Tu was born as a casual cultivator and naturally had no roots in the sect, so dividing the direct lineage was inevitable.

We can't just let Wei Tu be a commander without any troops.

This will also be detrimental to the balance of the Yujishan School.

Venerable Han Yue still knows the principle of losing the big for the small.

But here...

Something unexpected happened to Venerable Han Yue.

Wei Tu actually rejected him outright.

There was no request for the division of power within these sects.

"I am a diligent practitioner who only wants to concentrate on my practice and have no intention of managing my power. I hope Senior Brother Han Yue can take more responsibility for this matter."

Wei Tu said with a sincere look on his face.

"really?"

Venerable Han Yue was somewhat suspicious. After seeing Wei Tu break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, what he was most worried about was that Wei Tu was planning to usurp the power of Jishan Sect and change the sect's legal system.

This was the most difficult thing to accept for him, a master of transformation and a direct descendant of the sect.

Now, Wei Tu actually frankly refused this matter, he would not believe it easily.

“Brother Hanyue, since you know that I am a one-foot-tall celestial infant, you should know that my purpose in cultivation is to ascend to heaven, not to build up power…”

Hearing this, Wei Tu thought for a moment and told the truth.

The words fell.

Venerable Han Yue was suddenly silent.
