I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 658: End of the Wei Family's Grace, Past Promises (4k4, please subscribe)

After staying in Jishan Sect for several years, Wei Tu once again resigned to Venerable Han Yue and did not indulge in the gentle arms of Luqiu Qingfeng.

"More than thirty years ago, Junior Brother Wei once said that he was determined to ascend to heaven. I was skeptical at the time. But today, when I saw Junior Brother Wei preparing to travel again, I realized that Junior Brother Wei was really a hardworking cultivator."

Venerable Han Yue spoke with emotion, and he felt more admiration for Wei Tu for traveling again in half a century.

Wandering is just an elegant name for monks seeking opportunities.

In this process, there will inevitably be swords and guns, and sleeping in the open air.

Even though Wei Tu is a supreme being, there are few people in this world who can threaten Wei Tu. But going out to travel is not as good as staying in Jishan Sect as the patriarch and enjoying the comfort of small offerings.
"Brother Han Yue, you are so kind."

Wei Tu bowed and thanked him modestly, but did not continue talking about the topic.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

If he were to remain calm and not think about danger, the tragic scene in which the Scorpio Ancestor was killed by him would be a warning to us.

Moreover, fortunately, he was able to find the Great Flame Cultivation Realm. In this area, which was more powerful than the Guixu Sea Cultivation Realm, he could seize resources without being watched by other Divine Transformation Realms like Venerable Han Yue, and could only stay in one faction and one region...

That's his luck.

It should be well controlled.

After saying this, Wei Tu took his leave and left. He flicked his sleeves and flew away from Jishan Sect.

“To ascend to the upper realm, one must have the cultivation of the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, but the resources in the lower realm are becoming increasingly scarce… Even if the resources of the Guixu Sea are seized by me, it will not be easy to break through…”

"But he is a one-foot-tall baby, so maybe it can be done."

Watching Wei Tu's escaping light go away, Venerable Han Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt more optimistic about the future.

It is difficult for character to directly affect a cultivator's future, but any sect's consideration of the qualifications of its disciples, apart from the most important foundation, is often character.

……

Two months later.

Da Cang Xiujie, Qingmu County of Zheng State.

Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou stopped in front of Wei Fei's tombstone and burned some paper money for their old brother.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the words on Wei Fei's tombstone have become barely legible. His grave has also become flat ground and is used by nearby residents to grow crops.

This stone tablet was also used by people at that time and became a boundary marker to separate fields.

However, Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou did not plan to erect a new one. After all, the deceased is gone, and what is most important is that he rests in peace underground. A tombstone is just an external object used to commemorate him.

The two of them stood here and talked about some interesting things in the world of immortal cultivation, as well as the current situation of Wei Fei's two daughters and sons, Wei Xian'er and Wei Ping.

Wei Xian'er's aptitude is slightly lower. Even though she was valued by the High Priest Tia back then, she only has the potential to reach the Golden Core stage. After breaking through the Golden Core stage, her path becomes difficult.

Wei Ping is similar.

However, he is young and has been taught by Wei Tu, so he has the foundation for practicing both Dharma and body. In the next few hundred years, he may have a chance to achieve Nascent Soul.

"Second brother, our friendship has come to an end. Third brother and I raised funds together to buy a Transformation Pill for the Wei family... From now on, the two of us will not interfere with the younger generation of the Wei family."

Fu Zhizhou bowed, inserted three long incense sticks in front of the tombstone, and spoke in a serious voice.

Hearing this, Wei Tu, who was standing next to the stele, could not help but shake his head, thinking that Fu Zhizhou and Wei Fei still "did not get along", with sharp tongues but soft hearts.

He has never given much support to the second generation of immortals in Yishe, except for his own children.

After all, resources are limited, and the resources he has are not sufficient to support everyone.

Therefore, it was Fu Zhizhou who took the initiative to propose raising funds for the Wei family and exchanging for the Infant Transformation Pill.

He simply agreed and shared half of it.

However...although what Fu Zhizhou said at this time was a bit harsh, it also made sense.

Feelings will fade away with time.

It seemed that he did not take good care of Wei Xian'er and her brother, but in fact, the "Transfiguration Pill" that the two of them needed to break through the Jindan realm was exchanged with the help of him, their elder.

Otherwise, with such scarce resources, even if Wei Xian'er and her brother saved up enough spirit stones, they would hardly have the chance to exchange them for even one.

He also donated some of the wealth of knowledge such as manuals on martial arts and secret techniques.

But obviously, he would not help Wei Xian'er and her brother all their lives. It was impossible for him to help them and then help the descendants of the Wei family left behind by the siblings.

This pill of Infant Transformation will be the final gift from the two brothers, or the Yishe, to the deceased Wei Fei.

"The Wei family...can't keep up after all."

Wei Tu was silent.

The Yishe Society attaches great importance to inheritance. If after Wei Fei's death, one of Wei Xian'er's siblings can be like Kou Hongying in the past, with the son inheriting the father's position, that would also be a good story.

But unfortunately, the roots of disaster had already been planted.

Wei Fei was indulging in pleasure and did not have the decisiveness that Kou Liang had back then. He would rather suffer himself than let his children have a bright future.

It’s not that Wei Fei was wrong, but his past decision, to a certain extent, doomed the Wei family to be abandoned by the Yishe Society because their children would have no heirs.

While Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou were paying tribute to Wei Fei, a group of female cultivators in white were hurriedly rushing here, led by a beautiful female cultivator in pink palace clothes with a peony flower on her forehead.

If an outsider saw them, they would definitely recognize that this group of people were all from the dominant family in Zheng State today - the Heshan Ni family.

The leader was no other than Ni Shihuang, the Jindan genius of the Tiannv Sect who had achieved the Nascent Soul stage more than two hundred years ago.

"Ni Shihuang?"

When Ni Shihuang and other cultivators from the Heshan Ni family were hundreds of miles away from Wei Fei's tombstone, Wei Tu's vast spiritual consciousness naturally sensed this old friend.

He was surprised at first, then suddenly realized.

Although Wei Fei's tomb was built only with earth and stone and without any spiritual materials from the immortal cultivation world, so as not to attract the prying eyes of cultivators, the words "Wei Fei" were clearly written on the tombstone... How could the Heshan Ni family, as the overlord of the Zheng territory, not know about Wei Fei's relationship with him and his origin, and not pay more attention to it?

There are many people named Wei Fei in the world, but there are only a few who were born in Qingmu County of Zheng State and died hundreds of years ago.

However, he didn't care much about it. When he buried Wei Fei that year, he processed Wei Fei's bones and burned them into ashes with the Xuanming Yin Fire.

As for ashes, there is no danger of enemies desecrating the body or attracting the occult with blood.

"Fairy Ni, why did you come to my brother's grave?"

Wei Tu released a divine mighty pressure, looked coldly at Ni Shihuang who was flying towards here hundreds of miles away, and asked in a cold voice.

Because of his old friendship with Bai Zhi, he did not have much animosity towards the monks of the Tiannv Sect. However, it was inevitable that Ni Shihuang sent people to keep an eye on Wei Fei's tomb, which violated his taboo.

He still has to show his power.

The words fell.

Ni Shihuang, who was flying, suddenly shook as if he had suffered a great impact and was about to fall.

Fortunately, the pressure was fleeting, allowing Ni Shihuang to catch his breath and avoid falling in a mess.

"Is this the strength of a Spiritual Transformation Master? Just by using his pressure, I cannot resist him even though I am over 200 miles away?"

Ni Shihuang was secretly shocked, and suddenly became more wary of Wei Tu.

She quickly bowed her head, bowed to Wei Tu who was a hundred miles away, and said respectfully: "I came to see Venerable Wei to ask if you still remember the promise we made that year?"

"The promise from that year?"

Wei Tu was stunned, not knowing where the appointment came from.

He waved his hand, motioning Ni Shihuang to come over so he could talk.

Upon seeing this, Ni Shihuang did not dare to delay and hurriedly used his secret technique to fly away at an extremely fast speed, landing beside Wei Tu, panting and sweating profusely.

"Venerable Wei once told my sister Ni Meixian at my Ni family that if she breaks the golden elixir, he would take her in as a concubine."

Ni Shihuang pursed her red lips and clenched her teeth.

Since Ding Lezheng launched a wanted notice for Wei Tu, the pseudonym "Fu Dao Ren" that Wei Tu had used was also made public.

However, just knowing that Wei Tu was the "Talisman Master" was not enough for the Ni family to know that the newly promoted Nascent Soul that they had met by chance that year was today's newly promoted Divine Transformation Wei Zun.

This was also due to the fact that the Ni family learned from the righteous region several years ago that the Fu brothers and sisters had an affair with Wei Tu. The elder brother Fu Dalu and the younger brother Fu Yulong...these were all pseudonyms used by Wei Tu that the Heshan Ni family had come into contact with.

In addition, the time when Wei Tu broke through to the Nascent Soul stage also coincided with the time when "Fu Dalu" broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At this point, no matter how dumb the Ni family was, they could guess that Fu Dalu and Fu Yulong must have been Wei Tu's former aliases.

Yulong...Yulong, isn’t that just the word Linglong?
"Ni Meixian..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu remembered the past.

That year, after he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in the inner realm of Taixu Realm, he tracked down Bai Zhi and Liekong Eagle all the way to the outer realm of Yunze Secret Realm because their whereabouts were unknown.

At that time, in order to curry favor with him, a newly promoted Nascent Soul, the ancestor of the Ni family tried to sell him several of Ni Shihuang's sisters, hoping that he would take them as concubines.

He also took advantage of this opportunity and acknowledged Ni Meixian as his concubine, and promised Ni Meixian that if she broke through the Jindan realm, he would officially take her as his concubine.

But in the final analysis...this was just something he said to the Ni family in Heshan to flatter them, and he didn't take it seriously.

So, to this day, if Ni Shihuang hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten about it.

"Ni Meixian has achieved the golden elixir?"

Wei Tu frowned slightly and asked.

It was hard for him to believe that a female demon cultivator like Ni Meixian would still be devoted to him after not hearing from him for hundreds of years.

However, if this girl is still unmarried and has broken through the Golden Core realm, he would not mind granting her the status of a concubine.

After all, the mere status of a concubine would not harm him in the slightest.

"It's golden, but it's also approaching the end of its life."

Ni Shihuang replied despite the pressure from Wei Tu.

"I am about to die..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned again.

Now that Ni Shihuang dared to come to him, it was highly likely that Ni Meixian had not committed adultery.

Of course, this was probably forced by the situation and for the sake of the family. After all, the words of the Nascent Soul Patriarch were still very prestigious in the Ni family, which was still a Golden Core family at the time...

But Ni Shihuang's answer seemed to be saying that it was because of his casual and hypocritical words that an upright and young woman has remained chaste until now.

It was as if he had done something terribly wrong.

"Wei will not break his promise, but... I have to go see Ni Meixian first."

Wei Tu glanced at Ni Shihuang coldly and said indifferently.

The promise made in the past and the promise to take a concubine were the result of years of waiting for Ni Meixian, but for the Ni family in Heshan, it was not necessarily the case. What they wanted was more of a bargaining chip to gain benefits from him.

However, compared with the exchange of interests, the Heshan Ni family is playing the emotional card.

The thousand days of raising a daughter are now spent.

Hearing this, Ni Shihuang felt relieved at once, thinking to himself that Wei Tu, the God-Transforming Venerable, was indeed a gentler person, not like those old demons who were full of murderous sins.

Otherwise, she would not have risked her life to come and tell Wei Tu about this.

Instead, they will bury the matter deep in their hearts and not mention it to anyone.

"Venerable Wei, Daoist Fu, please..."

Ni Shihuang extended his hand and saluted, as a gesture of invitation, and began to lead the way.

……

Not long after.

Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou, led by Ni Shihuang and his group, came to Yunhe Mountain.

Yunhe Mountain at this time is several times stronger than the former Heshan Huang Family, including the spiritual energy, which is also one level higher than before.

This shows the careful management of the Heshan Ni family.

"The goddesses of the Tiannv Sect all have Taoist names. I wonder what Taoist name the Tiannv Sect gave to Fairy Ni?"

Wei Tu asked casually.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Tiannv Sect are not called ancestors by the outside world, but are called Tiannv.

"Lilan."

Ni Shihuang didn't think much about it and bowed in reply.

"Lilan..."

Wei Tu nodded and silently noted down the title. If he guessed correctly, if Bai Zhi had not been harmed by him, this title of celestial maiden should have belonged to Bai Zhi.

It’s just a pity that when the two of them first met, they were mortal enemies.

After arriving at the main hall of the Ni family in Heshan, Ni Shihuang asked Fu Zhizhou to wait for a while, while she took Wei Tu alone and went to the cave where Ni Meixian was.

The cave was opened.

The person who walked out was a middle-aged female cultivator with white hair. One could vaguely see the appearance of Ni Meixian back then on her face.

After seeing this woman, Wei Tu was not moved, but looked at her deeply, and then said:

"Ni Meixian, think carefully, do you want the status of Wei's concubine, or do you want the resources given by Wei?"

After saying this, he took out a storage bag containing dozens of spirit crystals from his sleeve and threw it to Ni Meixian.

He and Ni Meixian were not in love with each other.

Although it might be because of him that she has not married yet, even if that is the case, it is definitely not because of so-called emotions.

So, he just needs to do his best to make up for it.

You have to know that with Ni Meixian's qualifications back then, if he hadn't supported her and left behind some precious spiritual materials when she left, how could she have achieved the golden elixir without being favored by the Heshan Ni family?
Hearing this, Ni Meixian naturally inclined to become Wei Tu's concubine. She knew that Wei Tu had now become a divine master.

To reach the state of incarnation of the spirit with the golden elixir was a feat that she could not achieve even after many years of cultivation.

However, she also realized that Wei Tu had seen through the little tricks between her and the Heshan Ni family and asked her to make a choice here.

Either she could become a concubine of Huashen, but if she was seen through by Wei Tu in the future...it would be difficult for her to be selected for serious training.

Either he could take this resource and part ways amicably, and regard it as Wei Tu's way of making up for her guilt of "waiting" for so many years.

However, Ni Meixian, who got the spirit crystal bag, couldn't figure out what the spirit crystal was for a moment.

She had an idea in her mind, and her magic power seeped into the storage bag, intending to take a closer look.

But when she took a look at him, her heart was instantly moved.

The reason was simple. She rarely felt the breath of loosening of her realm from these spirit crystals.

Immediately, a look of excitement appeared on her face, and she wanted to speak and reply to Wei Tu.

——It is not so easy to deceive the Venerable Huashen. If she becomes Wei Tu’s concubine, Wei Tu will find out sooner or later. The reason why she has not married is not because of Wei Tu.

"Mei Xian can't do that. My status as a concubine is extremely important to my family and the Tiannv Sect!"

Ni Shihuang, who was standing by, saw this and immediately realized that Wei Tu had already tested Ni Meixian's true colors. She became anxious and hurriedly tried to persuade Ni Meixian.

The status of a concubine is worthless in Weitu, and may not give Ni Meixian many resources.

But... in the Ni family in Heshan, it is worth much more.

It is a banner used by the Ni family in Heshan to gain strength by taking advantage of the power of others.

However, just as she finished speaking, she heard Wei Tu's cold snort.

This cold snort sounded.

Ni Shihuang was suddenly struck by lightning. Her face turned pale and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, making her lips, which should have been red, even more rosy.
