I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 669: The grace of saving a daughter, the widow is touched (4k, please subscribe)

"Oh? What favor?"

Wei Tu became interested.

If the value of this favor is higher than a chance to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm, then it is not impossible to sell it to Sect Leader Deng.

Furthermore, most of the cultivators who entered the Yunxia Secret Realm were at the Nascent Soul stage, and it was rare for a Quasi-God-Transforming cultivator to enter in person.

He would not be at a great loss by choosing Sect Leader Deng as his agent. After all, his target was the fifth-level spiritual objects produced in the Luoxia Secret Realm, not some ordinary fourth-level resources.

Upon hearing Wei Tu's words, Sect Leader Deng's expression brightened up immediately, and he immediately explained the whole story of the favor owed by Master Han Dan.

"More than a hundred years ago, Master Han Dan's beloved daughter was ambushed by a Gu Master from the Sanxi League in the Luoxia Secret Realm and was poisoned by a cold... In addition to being a master of alchemy, Master Han Dan is also a master of medicine. However, due to the lack of a magical medicine called the "Jue Yin Flower", he was unable to start refining the elixir..."

"It just so happened that at that time, there was this magical medicine in the sect storehouse of my Wufeng Sect. So Deng presented the medicine to Master Han Dan in time, and earned a favor from Master Han Dan."

"For saving my daughter?"

Wei Tu's heart moved.

This is a big favor. If Master Han Dan values ​​his daughter, the reward that Sect Leader Deng will get will not be small.

But soon, he remembered what Master Han Dan had said just now, "Although this favor is not big," and realized that there must be another hidden story behind it.

As expected, Master Han Dan's next sentence explained the reason why this favor was not so kind.

Although it is true that Master Han Dan is currently out of the elixir "Jueyin Flower", with his ability, he has already sent people to purchase it from the Central Region. As long as he waits for another ten days or so, his beloved daughter will not die even if Master Deng does not offer the medicine.

Therefore, after this twist, Master Deng's timely assistance immediately became icing on the cake, and the grace of saving his daughter immediately turned into the favor of offering medicine.

However, a prominent figure like Master Han Dan also had some feelings. He did not just give Master Deng some spirit stones to send him away. Instead, he spoke up in person and said that he owed Master Deng a favor from then on.

I owe you a favor...

But how could a smart man like Sect Leader Deng be so arrogant as to demand huge rewards from Master Han Dan?
He only dared to scare the "Yuanying stage cultivator" like he had pretended to be at the family reunion meeting.

Of course, Master Deng did not lie.

This person does have the ability to introduce outsiders to Master Han Dan, but once introduced, his favor with Master Han Dan will be completely consumed.

Therefore, if there is no huge benefit, it will not be used lightly.

"Master Han Dan's favor..."

"The quota to enter the Luoxia Secret Realm..."

Wei Tu thought about the pros and cons.

A small favor doesn't mean it's useless.

Sometimes it can also play a decisive role.

After thinking for a moment, he finally made a decision.

He looked at Sect Leader Deng with a burning gaze and said, "I will not sell this position to Sect Leader Deng, but I can promise you that I will allow you to be my agent twice in the Luoxia Secret Realm."

"I can guarantee that I will not be greedy for the fourth-level spiritual object that can help you advance to the Quasi-God Realm. All you need is for Sect Leader Deng to hand over half of the spiritual crystals that are worth the spiritual object."

"If there is a higher-level spiritual object that is obtained by Sect Leader Deng, I am willing to buy it at half the price..."

Wei Tu said slowly.

The words fell.

There was a hint of hesitation in Sect Leader Deng's eyes, but between the hesitations, there was a hint of intention.

Buying a quota and being an agent are completely different.

As for the former, all the gains he made in Luoxia Secret Realm will be his, and Wei Tu cannot touch them.

But in the latter case, he would have to work for Wei Tu.

But there are also benefits. Apart from giving up the favor from Master Han Dan, he hardly invested any capital.

Moreover, Wei Tu treated him very generously, far more than other quasi-god-level powerful men in the Nine-Nation Alliance.

——The spiritual objects that he had obtained in the Luoxia Secret Realm were purchased at half price. It was foreseeable that the price would be much lower than the psychological price he had paid to buy the Wei Tu quota.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he can snatch these spiritual objects from the Luoxia Secret Realm.

As for the quasi-fourth- and fifth-level spiritual objects...

Sect Leader Deng did not think much about it. Treasures like that are extremely rare. Even if he got them by chance, he would not be able to protect them. It was already good enough that he could sell them to Wei Tu at half the price.

"Mr. Deng is willing."

Master Deng took a deep breath, clasped his fists, bowed to Wei Tu, and agreed.

……

After negotiating the deal with Master Deng, the celebration banquet was coming to an end.

Wei Tu said goodbye and left, heading to the Dan Palace Cave, preparing to start the furnace to refine the "Liuyun Pill" for Master Deng.

The opportunity to open the furnace was won by Master Deng at the "Recognition of Family Meeting", and Wei Tu's going to refine the elixir was also a fulfillment of his promise.

But after Wei Tu and his employer, Master Deng, left the table one after another, Deng Shuyan also walked out and followed her brother, Master Deng.

"Wen Tianqi and the Deng family are on good terms. This is not a good thing. It could cause chaos in the sect."

A look of worry appeared on Lu Xiqing's face.

He knew very well the evil ambitions of Deng Shuyan and his sister. Now Wei Tu and Sect Leader Deng had secretly reached some kind of "deal". If they allowed it to continue to develop, it might threaten the safety of Dingling Sect.

"Changying, do you have any solution?"

Lu Xiqing asked.

Hearing this, Wen Changying remained silent and shook his head.

After Wei Tu broke through the quasi-transformation realm, her status with Wei Tu was reversed, and she lost the initiative.

During the banquet, Wei Tu accepted another position from the Nine-Nation Alliance and was expected to join the Nine-Nation Alliance... This situation made her even more passive in front of Wei Tu. It was not an exaggeration to say that she and Dingling Sect now depended on Wei Tu.

Now, who Wei Tu chooses to be friends with is not something she can easily change?

"Changying, you have a close relationship with Wen Tianqi, and you are nominally his sister. You should... do your best to remind him."

Lu Xiqing pondered for a moment and advised.

"remind him?"

Hearing this, Wen Changying's eyebrows immediately frowned, "How to remind him? Father, how can I remind him? He is not a three-year-old child, how can he not know that the relationship between you and me and the Deng family is sensitive?"

"Profit comes first!"

"Now, Sect Leader Deng can give Wen Tianqi benefits. Should I stand in front of Sect Leader Deng and prevent him from contacting Wen Tianqi? Or should I stop Wen Tianqi and tell him not to contact Sect Leader Deng?"

"Two months ago, Wen Tianqi came out of seclusion and rejected Deng Shuyan, which showed his feelings."

As he spoke, Wen Changying's tone became more impatient.

In everything, just do it in moderation.

Interfering too much with Wei Tu will not only cost old relationships, but may also turn friends into enemies.

Moreover, Wei Tu had already made his attitude clear before that he would not help Deng Shuyan to usurp the power of Dingling Sect.

"You... should be closer to Wen Tianqi."

Lu Xiqing knew the reason why his daughter-in-law was so angry, but as an elder of the Dingling Sect, he also had his own difficulties.

After thinking for a moment, he said tactfully.

"Close?" Seeing that Lu Xiqing continued to put pressure on him, Wen Changying raised his eyes, looked fixedly at his father-in-law, and said in a slightly colder voice: "Could it be that father wants his daughter-in-law to learn from Deng Shuyan, wash herself clean, and send herself to Wen Tianqi's bed?" How could closeness between men and women be that simple.

She and Wei Tu are not real siblings.

Nowadays, Wei Tu treats her with great courtesy and regards her as his cousin, which is the ultimate in maintaining strict separation between men and women.

If you want to go further...

There is only one way to go, which is the one Deng Shuyan thought of.

Therefore, she simply made it clear to prevent her father-in-law from failing to understand the situation and actually ruining the Dingling Sect.

"This……"

Lu Xiqing was stunned and looked at Wen Changying in disbelief. He had never thought that his daughter-in-law, who had always been so respectful to him, would speak rudely to him at this moment.

"The wings are stiff."

Lu Xiqing realized that the reason why Wen Changying dared to get angry with him, besides wanting to vent his grievances, was probably also because... Wei Tu was backing him up.

Wen Changying may not be aware of this reason, but it was revealed naturally when she was with him.

"What can be done?"

Lu Xiqing sighed secretly, turned around and left. At this moment, his body was severely hunched, and the day of his death seemed to be one step closer. He was all alone in this empty hall.

When you reach the gate of the palace.

He paused and looked up at the blindingly bright sky full of stars.

"After a hundred years, if you want to remarry, you don't have to remain faithful to my son. But the inheritance of Dingling Sect cannot fall into the hands of outsiders, otherwise... I will not let you go even if I die."

After saying this, Lu Xiqing did not stay in the hall for long. He flew back to the cave, hung a "retreat sign" on the cave gate, announced that he was in seclusion and would not see any outsiders, and then he stayed in the cave... quietly waiting for the day of his death.

……

half a month later.

Wei Tu successfully refined the Liuyun Pill and came out of seclusion.

This time, three Liuyun pills were produced, one more than Master Deng had expected.

In response, Sect Leader Deng was overjoyed, and he began to praise Wei Tu a few more times, saying that Wei Tu had achieved great accomplishments in alchemy, and it was only a matter of time before he became a master of alchemy like Master Han Dan.

Wei Tu was already immune to these flattering words. He waved his hand, signaling Master Deng to stop, and then got down to business.

"I plan to go to Kuntian Immortal City in the near future. I wonder if Sect Leader Deng can lead the way for me?"

he said.

The reason he went to Kuntian Immortal City was not to use the favor that Master Han Dan had given him, but to search for the two main ingredients needed for the "Dragon Roar Pill" in this most prosperous immortal city in the southern region.

He never forgot about refining the "Dragon Roar Pill". After all, this pill was related to the foundation of his further advancement in body refining.

However, he had just arrived in the Great Yan cultivation world and had not yet established a firm foothold, so he was forced to shelve this plan.

Now - as he holds a position in the Nine-Nation Alliance, there is no doubt that he has the qualifications to "go unimpeded" in the Nine-Nation Alliance.

Kuntian Fairy City was his first stop.

"It is an honor for Deng."

Master Deng looked slightly pleased, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Traveling with a quasi-god-transforming expert or a fourth-rank alchemist is not a chore, but rather richly rewarding.

Just imagine, even if the people Wei Tu met could not become part of his network in the future, at least he could be familiar with them, and maybe they would be able to take care of him in the future.

"Master Wen Dan...won't you bring Sect Master Wen with you?"

But after being happy, Master Deng always felt something was wrong and quickly reminded Wei Tu.

After hearing this, Wei Tu also understood a little bit. He realized that Sect Leader Deng was worried that he did not take this small matter into consideration and would be suspected of "neglecting" Sect Leader Wen, so he reminded him.

"In that case..."

"Then I, Wen, will be led by...Sister Changying and Sect Leader Deng when I go to Kuntian Immortal City this time."

Wei Tu added.

As soon as these words came out, Deng Shuyan, who was accompanying Master Deng, suddenly looked a little gloomy. She thought that it would be her turn to have the good fortune of accompanying the leader this time, but she didn't expect that her brother's arm was broken.

But privately, after hearing Master Deng's explanation to her and his promise to give her a share of the future gains in Luoxia Secret Realm, she no longer insisted.

"Master Wen Dan is a righteous person. After you married into Dingling Sect, you were suspected of being rebellious. You also seduced Master Wen Dan... He must be displeased with you. Even if you succeed by chance, he won't even look at you."

Master Deng said so.

Deng Shuyan was naturally indignant about this. After all, whether it was treason or seducing Wei Tu, it was her brother who gave him the idea and had little to do with her.

But she also understood that what Master Deng said was true.

There are some things that Master Deng can do, but she can't.

Annexing Dingling Sect was a great hatred and evil for Dingling Sect, but for Wufeng Sect, it was a great good deed to revitalize the sect.

——It was almost inevitable that she, who could not properly handle her identity as a “married woman”, would be hated by her “future husband”.

……

"I have other important matters to attend to in the sect, so it is not appropriate for me to go to Kuntian Immortal City. I hope Brother Qi will not blame me..."

Half a day later, Wen Changying looked apologetic and rejected Wei Tu's invitation to go to Kuntian Fairy City together.

This result.

This was beyond the expectations of Wei Tu and Master Deng.

Neither of them expected that when Wei Tu became successful, Wen Changying, who discovered Wei Tu, a "poor boy", would take the initiative to keep a distance from Wei Tu and become less close to him.

Busy with official duties?
Isn’t the official duties of the great leader Deng busy?

Now, he is following Wei Tu happily, ready to serve him at any time.

"Could it be that he is playing hard to get and testing Master Wen Dan's character?" Sect Leader Deng speculated maliciously.

Wei Tu didn't know what Master Deng was thinking. Although he was puzzled by Wen Changying's refusal, he would not blame Wen Changying for it.

"Since Sister Changying is too busy with official duties to come, you can go with me next time."

Wei Tu took the initiative to speak and ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Qi."

Wen Changying bowed, thanked them, and personally escorted Wei Tu and Sect Leader Deng out of Dingling Sect.

"What a pity~"

Looking at Wei Tu's receding back, Wen Changying, who was staying where he was, sighed softly.

Wei Tu's kindness, courtesy, and strength touched the heart of this widow...

But a pity.

Before she met you, she was already married.

The widow is not worthy of a strong man like Wei Tu.

Secondly, after having a frank talk with father-in-law Lu Xiqing that day, when she heard what father-in-law Lu Xiqing said - she didn't want father-in-law Lu Xiqing to look down on her in the future.
