I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 668: A Luozhu Dharma, Nine Nations Alliance (8k, please subscribe)

While Wei Tu was in seclusion for cultivation, the news that Wei Tu had broken through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm spread quickly outside the Dingling Sect, throughout the Hanguang Kingdom, and even the entire Nine-Nation Alliance.

In the Nine-Nation Alliance, there are only two powerful gods, namely, Feng Yuan, the leader of the Taizhen Sect, and Ji Le Shen Hou, a royal family of the Liuyang Kingdom.

And these two great gods almost never go out of the world, and it is seldom for outsiders to see them. Therefore, the cultivators who truly rule the vast territory of the Nine-Nation Alliance are the quasi-goddess cultivators below the godtransformation level.

Although these quasi-God-Transforming cultivators are not as rare as the Lord God-Transforming cultivators, their number is not large either, only about two palms in number.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is that the number of quasi-divine monks in various sects of the Nine-Nation Alliance is uneven.

The Taizhen sect alone accounted for almost one third.

The four great masters of the sect were famous throughout the southern region. Everyone knew them.

Therefore, Wei Tu's breakthrough to the quasi-godhood realm in Dingling Sect, a "poor and small sect", was a rare event in the entire Nine-Nation Alliance and was highly valued by all sects.

The sect that was most affected was naturally the one in Hanguang, which was closest to Dingling Sect. They also thought of taking advantage of Dingling Sect's weakness to annex Dingling Sect's relative, Wufeng Sect.

Master Deng was very anxious.

Although he had never threatened Wei Tu, and even offered huge benefits to Wei Tu at the "family recognition meeting", this could not change his obvious intention to annex Dingling Sect from Wei Tu.

Once the Dingling Sect takes advantage of this opportunity to gain power, it is very likely that the Wufeng Sect will be the target to establish its power.

Especially when he learned that his sister Deng Shuyan wanted to host a banquet to entertain Wei Tu, but was rejected by Wei Tu.

Therefore, less than a day after Wei Tu's breakthrough, he personally came to the vicinity of Dingling Sect and met with his sister Deng Shuyan to discuss specific countermeasures.

"Wen Changying's beauty is just as good as mine. I guess the reason why Master Wen Dan took a fancy to her is probably because he remembered their old friendship..."

Deng Shuyan felt humiliated in front of Wei Tu and dared not say a word. But in front of her brother, Sect Leader Deng, she was as proud as a peacock and her disparagement of Wen Changying was evident in her words.

"So this Master Wen Dan is a man who cherishes the old times?"

However, Master Deng ignored his sister's resentment. His eyes lit up and he captured the key information.

A mean and ungrateful person is not worth investing in. Even if he may be favored for a while, he will eventually fail in the future.

On the contrary, people who value friendship and loyalty are different. As long as they do not commit suicide on their own initiative, even if their abilities cannot keep up with their progress over time, they will still remember the old friendship.

"should be……"

Deng Shuyan did not follow the thinking of her brother, Sect Leader Deng. After hearing this, she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Sect Leader Deng immediately came up with a plan.

He immediately stood up and asked his sister Deng Shuyan to send a letter, stating that he would meet Wen Changying in person to apologize to her.

"What? Apologize to that bitch?"

Deng Shuyan was so surprised that she was speechless.

Although she knew that under the current circumstances, the two siblings would inevitably have to humble themselves to Wen Changying, who was close to Wei Tu, but... she still had considerable confidence. After Wei Tu came out of seclusion, she flattered him and won his favor.

Now, her brother slid to his knees too quickly, and she didn't have time to make a move behind him.

"Bitch?"

Hearing this, Sect Leader Deng's face turned slightly cold, and he scolded mercilessly: "In terms of relationship, Wen Changying is also your sister-in-law. She is a bitch, so what are you?"

Upon hearing this, Deng Shuyan wanted to refute, but thinking that she was even more despicable than Wen Changying and was already planning to use her beauty to win Wei Tu's favor, she swallowed the words back into her stomach.

After a while, under the stern reprimand from Master Deng, the brother and sister reached a consensus and immediately sent a letter to apologize to Wen Changying.

A quarter of an hour later.

Sect Leader Deng and his sister went together to the main hall of Dingling Sect to meet Yu Wen Changying.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding cultivators discussed secretly, understanding that this was the impact of Master Wen Dan's breakthrough on the situation, forcing the great leader Deng to submit to Dingling Sect and Wen Changying.

"Master Wen, congratulations. My noble brother has broken through to the quasi-god level and has become the undisputed strongest person in our Hanguang Nation..."

"The prosperity of Dingling Sect in the future will become unstoppable."

After entering the hall, Sect Leader Deng congratulated Wen Changying with a broad smile on his face, and there was no sign of his wolfish ambition and domineering nature that had previously led to his attempt to annex the Dingling Sect.

"The Dingling Clan is prospering and cannot be stopped..."

Hearing this, Wen Changying was slightly stunned and his mind was shaken.

After the war between the two alliances ended, for more than two hundred years, she, her father-in-law Lu Xiqing, and Deng Shuyan were the only three old and weak people left in Dingling Sect.

An old Yuanying, two widows...

God knows how difficult it was for her to maintain the reputation of Dingling Sect over the years.

If not for this, when she knew that Wei Tu had an illegitimate background seven years ago, she would not have been so humble and tried her best to keep him.

Now, the hard work has finally paid off.

"This is all thanks to Brother Qi."

Wen Changying was in mixed feelings and thought silently.

Whether she admits it or not, she and Dingling Sect are now inseparable from Wei Tu.

However, fake is fake after all, and the temporary cousin relationship is unlikely to keep Wei Tu's heart forever.

If Wei Tu leaves Dingling Sect, everything she and Dingling Sect have gained today will probably be backfired on them in the future.

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away..."

"Asking for favors is like swallowing a three-foot sword..."

"But how can I refuse such a thing?"

Wen Changying sighed inwardly, but with a smile on his face, he went to greet the Deng brothers and sisters.

……

same moment.

Li State, Emperor Taizhen.

In the forbidden place for cultivation, Floating Cloud Cave, Liu Daoshou came from the air and landed beside Chen Tan.

"Junior Brother Xu, the Master Wen from Dingling Sect, who you had such a pleasant conversation with a year ago, has already broken through to the Quasi-Transformation God Realm before you yesterday..."

"Really, people should not be judged by their appearance."

Liu Daoshou's tone was full of emotion and contained implicit encouragement.

In his opinion, after the breakthrough of "Master Wen Dan", the next quasi-god-transforming cultivator should be from their Taizhen Sect.

And this candidate is none other than Xu Liang, a foreign talent discovered by Alliance Leader Feng.

"Him? He has broken through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm?"

Hearing this, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on Chen Tan's face, who was sitting cross-legged and serious.

After all, when he met Wei Tu a year ago, Wei Tu was only in the "middle Nascent Soul stage". If he was not a fourth-rank alchemist, he would not have easily made friends with him given his ability and status.

Not to mention, instead of just saying flattering words to each other.

Now, he has broken through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm, or even one step ahead of him? It is too incredible.

The only person he couldn't see through was Wei Tu, who came from the same Da Cang cultivation world as him.

"No! He shouldn't be Wei Tu."

Chen Tan shook his head, denying it in his heart.

The vision of a late Nascent Soul breaking through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm could be faked with the ability of a God Transformation powerhouse, but he didn't think it would be such a coincidence that he just happened to run into Wei Tu.

He was certain that Wei Tu should be a well-known figure in the Great Yan cultivation world. After all, only Wei Tu's breakthrough to the Spiritualization Realm in the Great Yan cultivation world could explain why Ding Le was in the Great Cang cultivation world and had difficulty finding Wei Tu's trace, and couldn't even sense the movement of his breakthrough.

Currently, due to the limitation of his current realm level being too low, it is difficult for him to understand the entirety of the Great Yan cultivation world, so at this moment he still does not know Wei Tu’s “true face”.

As for a big shot like Wei Tu, it is impossible for him to hide his identity in a small clan like Dingling Sect.

Therefore, in Chen Tan's opinion, the reason why he did not see through Master Wen Dan a year ago was simply because he came from a small place and had a narrow view of the world.

The heroes of the Great Yan cultivation world are far more powerful than those of the Cang Realm!

"Junior Brother Xu, since you have a good relationship with Master Wen Dan, after he comes out of retreat, you can invite him to serve in our Nine Nations Alliance."

Liu Daoshou stated the purpose of his visit.

The monks of various sects in the nine countries of the Southern Region, in addition to their identities within their own sect, have another identity, that is, monks of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

The Nine-Nation Alliance is above all other factions and is the most authoritative organization among the nine nations. It is responsible for all matters outside of the nine nations’ factions, including wars and diplomacy.

However, if the Nine-Nation Alliance wants to maintain its dignity, it must recruit talented people and put capable people at the top.

And now, Wei Tu, who has broken through to the level of a quasi-god, happens to be that "capable person".

Of course, on the other hand, Wei Tu, a non-staff member, has a certain strength that threatens the Nine-Nation Alliance, and he must be appeased, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain peace in the country.

"I?"

Hearing this, Chen Tan shook his head and refused without much hesitation.

"Could it be that Junior Brother Xu, you..."

Seeing that his face was lost, Liu Daoshou did not get angry. On the contrary, his face suddenly showed a hint of happiness.

According to common sense, it is unlikely that Chen Tan would lose face as the first Taoist leader of Taizhen Sect, unless there is something important.

And this so-called important matter is naturally related to Chen Tan's breakthrough into the quasi-transformation realm.

"That's right! In another five years, Junior Brother will be able to reach the Quasi-God Transformation Realm."

Chen Tan smiled slightly and replied.

When Wei Tu was still in the early Nascent Soul stage, he was already the famous leader of the Feixian League.

After so many years, although his realm has remained at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and has not improved, his accumulation has become deeper and deeper every year.

Just one crucial step away from becoming a butterfly.

More than ten years ago, after arriving at the Dayan cultivation world and being appreciated by Feng Yuan and joining the Taizhen Sect, his most critical opportunity had arrived.

——Floating Cloud Cave is a natural treasure land used to condense the divine form.

Currently, the reason why he hasn't made a breakthrough is because he is repairing the wounds and aftereffects left on his body after his paternal bloodline was severed.

But... five years later, he estimated that the time was about right.

"Okay! This is a good thing for our Taizhen Sect. I won't bother you anymore. You can go there on your own."

Dao Shou Liu was overjoyed.

In five years, the sect had added another quasi-divine cultivator... and invited another quasi-divine cultivator to serve in the Nine-Nation Alliance. He naturally understood which of these two things was more important.

……

When the outside world was full of different opinions.

Dingling Sect, inside the Dandian Cave.

Wei Tu welcomed the Red Dragon Patriarch out of seclusion and examined the strange Dharma image that appeared in his Dantian.

The face of this Dharma image is similar to that of the Red Dragon Ancestor, with red and green horns on its head, but behind it, there are suddenly bat wings that occupy two-thirds of its body size.

Moreover, unlike the immortal cultivators, the Dharma image of the Red Dragon Ancestor is the condensed form of soul power.

When he was observing the Red Dragon Patriarch's Dharma image with the help of the "Hun'e Evil Eye", he felt vaguely as if his consciousness was being devoured.

"This Dharmakāya is called A Luo Zhu, and it is a unique Dharmakāya of the Heavenly Ghost Clan, and is similar to the True Spirit Dharmakāya of the True Spirit Clan."

The Red Dragon Patriarch explained to Wei Tu that after he was reincarnated into the Sky Ghost Clan, he dug out some inherited memories of the Sky Ghost Clan from deep in his blood.

Without the right opportunity, cultivators in the human world would have difficulty in gaining access to even a little bit of these inherited memories.

Then, the Red Dragon Ancestor demonstrated to Wei Tu the innate magical power that he awakened after condensing this strange Dharma image - the soul-breaking power.

The name of this innate magical power is very ordinary, but its effect is far beyond Wei Tu's expectations.

The reason is simple. The magical power that the Red Dragon Ancestor used with the help of the "A Luo Lord Dharma Form" can actually ignore the cultivator's physical body and harm the cultivator's soul.

"Of course, it would be very difficult for Lord A Luo to break through a physical practitioner like Fellow Daoist Wei who possesses a 'spiritual body'."

Ancestor Chilong said again.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was disappointed but secretly relieved. After all, if the Sky Demon Clan could really harm a high-level body cultivator, then why would he need to practice both the Dharma and the body? He could have just been reincarnated into the Sky Demon Clan like the Red Dragon Ancestor.

However, even so, the Red Dragon Ancestor's "A Luo Lord Dharma Form" is also very powerful, enough to help him in future battles at the level of incarnation.

You have to know that not all gods are like him, practicing both Dharma and body.

……

Two months later.

Wei Tu came out of seclusion and went to the Dingling Sect Master Hall to accept a banquet from Sect Master Wen Changying.

There were two unexpected but reasonable outsiders at the table.

——Master Deng and Dao Shou Liu.

"Dao Shou Liu came to my sect and wanted to let you, Brother Qi, take up a post in the Nine Nations Alliance. This matter is too important, and Dao Shou Liu is the first Dao Shou of the Taizhen Sect... So, let him attend this celebration banquet..."

"As for Sect Leader Deng, he wanted to curry favor with Brother Qi. Since there happened to be this banquet, and since Daoshu Liu was going to attend, we asked him to be the guest."

As soon as Wei Tu walked into the hall, Wen Changying's apologetic explanation rang in his ears.

After all, two months ago, Wen Changying expressed his intention to host a celebratory banquet for Wei Tu, which would be more of an internal banquet for the sect’s top leaders rather than an external banquet mixed with affairs outside the sect.

With more outsiders, the nature of the situation becomes different.

But Wei Tu did not blame Wen Changying for this.

There is no other reason, Liu Daoshou’s status is too high.

He is one of the most influential figures in Taizhen Sect and even in the Nine-Nation Alliance, and he can only be suppressed by a God-Transforming Master.

Secondly, at the previous family recognition meeting, Liu Daoshou came to attend the banquet, which also gave enough face to Dinglingzong and Wen Changying.

Power oppression, but also old favors...

If he were Wen Changying, he would have no choice.

Besides, Liu Dao Shou came with good intentions, so it wouldn't be harmful to him. Wen Changying didn't need to treat him like a formidable enemy and guard against Liu Dao Shou entering Dingling Sect. "Thank you, Sister Changying."

Wei Tu nodded slightly, indicating that Wen Changying didn't need to worry about it. Then, under the gazes of all the cultivators, he walked to Wen Changying's side and sat in the upper seat in the hall.

Lu Xiqing, who was sitting in the second seat with Liu Daoshou, looked dazed when he saw this scene.

Once upon a time, Wen Changying also sat at the head seat with his son like this.

How similar are things now compared to back then?

However, at that time, Wen Changying took the seat as the wife of the clan leader.

"Changying is a loyal woman, not a slut like Deng Shuyan. Besides, Wen Tianqi is not interested in beauty... After I die, Changying will not marry again."

Lu Xiqing shook his head and thought to himself.

He has not much time left, and now has only two things to stick to: one is to restore the prestige of the Dingling Sect, and the other is to protect the family business for his deceased son.

At least, you can't watch your deceased son and widow enjoying themselves in the arms of another man.

This is his bottom line and it will not waver.

While Lu Xiqing was thinking about this, Liu Daoshou had already started chatting with Wei Tu about the Nine-Nation Alliance's appointment.

"Being on a temporary basis in the Nine-Nation Alliance will not affect Master Wen's daily life. However, when the two alliances are at war, if there are any needs within the alliance, Master Wen must try his best to meet them..."

"Of course, the alliance won't have any harsh requirements for Master Wen. Most of them are just some alchemy tasks. It's just that he was a little busy during that time."

"As for the benefits of the temporary position..."

Having said this, Liu Daoshou paused, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, and passed it to Wei Tu using his magic power.

There is still a certain difference between quasi-transformation gods and quasi-transformation gods. For example, quasi-transformation gods like Wei Tu, who are expected to become quasi-fifth-level alchemists, have a higher status than ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Therefore, the specific benefits will also be different.

——Each of the employment contracts signed between the Nine-Nation Alliance and the quasi-god-level powerful men is different and is not a standard contract.

Wei Tu nodded, stretched out his right hand, took the jade slip and read it carefully.

The benefits mentioned in the jade slip are very simple and are divided into regular benefits and wartime benefits.

There are two general benefits:
First, he can practice in any fifth-level spiritual land of the Nine Nations Alliance for ten years every hundred years. Other sects cannot stop him without a legitimate reason.

Second, every thirty years, you can get a fourth-grade medium-quality spiritual medicine from the Nine-Nation Alliance.

There is more talk about wartime benefits, but it can be simply summarized in one sentence: the more you work, the more you pay.

In Wei Tu's opinion, although this contract is far inferior to the generous benefits that the Jishan Sect provides to its quasi-god-transforming masters, the good thing is... these benefits are almost free.

There are no mandatory constraints.

To put it simply, the Nine-Nation Alliance gave these quasi-divination monks who were within the country but not on the staff a sum of "security fees" to prevent them from making trouble.

Of course, the Nine-Nation Alliance is worth the money. Giving them these resources can bring peace to the country and enhance the war potential in the future when the two alliances fight.

But Wei Tu was not satisfied with these.

His goal was to go deeper into the Great Yan cultivation world and gain further opportunities. Staying outside the Nine-Nation Alliance or other super-powerful forces did not suit his purpose.

Now, since Liu Daoshou has invited him, a mere "secondary position" is obviously not enough to satisfy him.

“I wonder if your alliance has any other contracts besides the appointment of positions?” Wei Tu asked with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

The words fell.

All the cultivators were immediately surprised.

After all, the character Wei Tu had displayed in Dingling Sect before did not seem like someone who was obsessed with power.

But they thought again and soon realized that the Dingling Temple was too small to accommodate a large Buddha. Wei Tu had never been interested in the Dingling Temple from the beginning, so he acted indifferent.

However, the cultivators of Dingling Sect were not anxious about this.

The Nine-Nation Alliance is a higher-level force that commands the Dingling Sect. Wei Tu's joining the Nine-Nation Alliance does not mean betraying the Dingling Sect.

On the contrary, Wei Tu's joining the Nine-Nation Alliance will be more beneficial to them and the Dingling Sect.

"Are you serious, Master Wen Dan?"

Liu Daoshou was also surprised and asked quickly.

Most of the strong people don't like to be restricted, so this time he came to Wei Tu to let Wei Tu take up a position in the Nine-Nation Alliance and act according to the imperial edict.

This standard of conduct is to prevent accidentally angering the strong during the negotiation process when trying to win over the strong, which would result in more harm than good.

But...if there are strong people who take the initiative to surrender, their Nine-Nation Alliance will not refuse them.

——Even the Taizhen Sect was tolerant enough to accept Chen Tan, a foreign cultivator. So how could the Nine Nations Alliance, which was even looser than the Taizhen Sect, refuse others to join it?
"If the conditions are right, Wen will take it seriously."

Wei Tu didn't give a definite answer, but smiled slightly.

It was difficult for him to refuse the position in the Nine-Nation Alliance, because refusing the position would be tantamount to harboring treasonous intentions.

But the situation is different if you "surrender" to a higher level. Compared with the strong, you have more room for negotiation.

simply put--

If he agrees to hold the position, then he is a “friend” of the Nine-Nation Alliance.

If he takes the initiative to surrender, then he will be one of the Nine-Nation Alliance's "insiders".

This is his negotiation space.

Because his lowest lower limit is being a "friend" of the Nine-Nation Alliance, the Nine-Nation Alliance would be willing to negotiate with him on this matter.

"This is a good friend of mine. After he broke through the Quasi-God Transformation Realm, he joined our alliance... Master Wen Dan can take a look at the conditions offered by our alliance..."

"The Nine-Nation Alliance needs to discuss the specific treaty before it can be finalized. Liu alone does not have the authority to do so."

Upon hearing this, Liu Daoshou's face was slightly delighted. He immediately took out another jade slip, handed it to Wei Tu, and said these words very quickly.

If he could recruit a quasi-god-level strongman to truly join the Nine-Nation Alliance, it would be of great benefit to him.

"Thank you, Daoshou Liu."

Wei Tu took the jade slip and nodded in thanks.

However, this time, he did not look at the jade slip in front of all the cultivators. Instead, he flipped his hand and put the jade slip directly into the storage bag.

Liu Daoshou, who had experienced the ups and downs of the immortal cultivation world for a long time, naturally understood the significance of this action: it meant that the conditions for winning over were not enough to attract him, unless the Nine-Nation Alliance had to offer a contract with a price far higher than this.

But Liu Daoshou didn't think it was strange. As a fourth-rank alchemist, Wei Tu did have the capital to be domineering.

……

After the business.

Next, Liu Daoshou began to chat casually with Wei Tu and asked about Wei Tu's past experiences.

If it was just an idle registration, he would not need to conduct a detailed background check on Wei Tu.

But the key point is that Wei Tu is likely to actually join the Nine-Nation Alliance in the near future.

At that time, background checks become important.

Because if there is any problem with Wei Tu, he, the person who recommended him, will also be in trouble.

"When I was young, I was taken away by my master and left my hometown to practice in the Northern Region. I became a casual cultivator... Many years later, I returned to the Southern Region, and everything had changed..."

Wei Tu sighed softly and told about the past experiences that he and Wen Changying had jointly compiled.

Considering the vastness of the Great Yan cultivation world, the reputation of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator is simply not enough to spread across an entire region.

He was not afraid that the Nine-Nation Alliance would send monks to the Northern Territory to investigate his past.

There are so many people in this vast sea of ​​people, and based on such brief information alone, there are at least dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators who can match him.

Hearing Wei Tu's eloquent speech, Liu Daoshou was half-believing and half-doubting, but he did not point it out and kept this worry in his heart.

He thought to himself, no matter how dangerous Wei Tu was, could he also endanger the Nine-Nation Alliance and Alliance Leader Feng?
Although the Quasi-God is a powerful being, in front of Alliance Leader Feng and the God of Bliss, he is just a slightly larger, difficult-to-eliminate ant and cannot cause much harm.

Half a day later.

Halfway through the celebration banquet, Liu Daoshou took his leave and declined the attempts of Wei Tu, Wen Changying and others to keep him.

"It may take five years at the longest, or three years at the shortest. Then the news on whether to recruit Master Wen into the alliance will be released."

"At that time, Liu will come to your sect with the contract. I hope Master Wen will try not to go far during this period of time."

Liu Daoshou reminded Wei Tu.

"Wen knows."

Wei Tu nodded to show that he understood.

The important members of the Nine-Nation Alliance also need to practice cultivation, so it is impossible for them to gather together just for this matter to discuss his affairs. It is likely that there will be some important matter in three years, and the important members of the Nine-Nation Alliance will gather together to discuss this "small matter" of his at that time.

"After three years, will Feng Yuan return to Dayan's cultivation world?" He speculated in his mind, guessing that this was the time Feng Yuan told Liu Daoshou to return when he left Taizhen Sect.

Now, he has been in the Great Yan cultivation world for seven years.

And it has been twelve years since Feng Yuan left the Dayan cultivation world.

Counting the time for the round trip and the time stayed in the Da Cang cultivation world, Feng Yuan will probably be returning to the Dayan cultivation world soon.

After all, his roots are in the Great Yan Cultivation World, so it is impossible for him to stay in the Great Cang Cultivation World forever without coming back.

……

After Liu Daoshou left.

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became much more relaxed.

Master Deng, who was sitting in the front row, finally seized the opportunity to talk to Wei Tu.

"A year ago, at the family recognition meeting, Deng won the opportunity for Master Wen to open the furnace. Now, Master Wen has achieved the quasi-transformation realm... It seems that Deng took advantage of Master Wen..."

Master Deng laughed and said.

Then, without waiting for Wei Tu to respond, he took out a storage bag from his waist and used his magic power to deliver it to Wei Tu's desk.

"The contents of this storage bag are the recipe and elixir for the 'Liuyun Pill' that Deng requested this time. Master Wen, please take a look and see if you can start the furnace to refine this pill for Deng."

Sect Leader Deng bowed and spoke respectfully.

Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Master Deng seriously, then nodded slowly.

Just now, when Sect Leader Deng handed over the storage bag, he used his "Hun'e Evil Eye" to take a look at what was in the bag.

In this storage bag, in addition to the Liuyun Pill recipe and specific spiritual medicines that Master Deng mentioned, there are also two hundred neatly stacked spiritual crystals!
Two hundred spirit crystals is the most expensive gift that Sect Leader Deng can offer.

Even if he asked a fifth-rank alchemist to refine the elixir, he would not be able to use so many spirit crystals at one time.

These spiritual crystals were obviously the valuable gifts they wanted to give to make friends with this newly promoted quasi-god-transforming master, as well as the apology gifts they gave to him to bribe him to betray the Dingling Sect at the family recognition meeting.

"A year ago, I heard that Sect Leader Deng knew Master Han Dan from Kuntian Immortal City. I wonder if this is true?"

Wei Tu took the storage bag and turned to ask about the matter.

Before this, he had planned to follow the path of his sister Deng Shuyan and ask her to introduce him to Master Han Dan through the relationship with Master Deng.

Now, since Master Deng is so understanding and willing to make friends with him, there is no need for him to subcontract the matter to Deng Shuyan.

"Master Han Dan..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sect Leader Deng's face stiffened and he looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Wei Tu immediately understood that his guess at the family reunion meeting that day was correct - Sect Leader Deng might know Master Han Dan, but they were definitely not as familiar with each other as he said, let alone introduce him to strangers.

"In that case, forget it."

Wei Tu also did not intend to force Master Deng, so he would not hit someone in the face.

In addition to being a quasi-fifth-rank alchemist, Master Han is also a quasi-god-transforming powerful being whose reputation is well known to the outside world.

With the status of Master Deng, it is great to know this person. There is no need to force it.

But after hearing this, Sect Leader Deng did not give up. His expression changed for a while, then he gritted his teeth and bowed to Wei Tu, saying:

"If you want me to introduce Master Han to you, that's fine. But after the deal is done, Master Wen must promise... to sell me the opportunity to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm after joining the Nine Nations Alliance."

"Luoxia Secret Realm..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly.

He had seen information about the Luoxia Secret Realm in Ding Lezheng's spiritual memory.

During the seven years in Dingling Sect, he also glanced at the geographical books of his sect.

The Luoxia Secret Realm is not a man-made secret realm or a heritage-type secret realm like the Yunze Secret Realm and the Zunwang Palace Secret Realm, but a natural secret realm formed naturally in the Southern Region.

This secret realm retains its original ancient appearance, with countless natural treasures, spiritual materials for breaking through levels, and even elixirs for refining rare elixirs such as the Infant Transformation Pill and the Infant Replenishment Pill.

Even fifth-grade elixirs have occasionally leaked out of this secret realm.

The reason why the Sanxi Alliance and the Jiuguo Alliance repeatedly launched wars between the two alliances, in addition to competing for spiritual mines and other resources in the border areas, the biggest goal is to control the "Luoxia Secret Realm".

Therefore, and for this reason, the places to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm are extremely precious, and are almost all monopolized by the top leaders of the Nine Nations Alliance, and are rarely given to weak sects such as the Dingling Sect and the Wufeng Sect.

Among the weaker sects, only quasi-divine cultivators like him who have "joined" the Nine-Nation Alliance have the opportunity to get one or two places.

"The opportunity of being introduced by Master Han Dan alone is far from enough for me to sell you the opportunity to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm."

Wei Tu shook his head and refused bluntly.

Different status, different treatment.

It is extremely difficult for an ordinary Nascent Soul to meet Master Han Dan, but for him, it may not be the case.

The reason why he wanted Master Deng to introduce him was because he wanted to go through the acquaintance route so that he could get to know Master Han Dan more quickly.

Now, since this path taken by Master Deng is blocked and requires a high price, he naturally won't force his way through.

"Master Wen Dan doesn't know."

"I have a favor from Master Han Dan. Although this favor is not big, it is enough for Master Wen Dan to get something from Master Han Dan."

Seeing Wei Tu's refusal, Sect Leader Deng hurriedly spoke again.
