I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 685: Han Buchan's death, five-colored treasure lotus (4k8, please subscribe)

"Old guy?"

Hearing this scolding, Master Tiegui's gaze narrowed slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Since he attained enlightenment, few people have dared to point at him and scold him.

However, while feeling dissatisfied with the Lord of Bliss, he couldn't help but feel that this statement was credible.

Compared with him and Feng Yuan, Lord Ji Le Shen Hou is indeed much younger, and can be regarded as a young generation among the gods of transformation, with a more promising future.

Now, for the sake of his spiritual path and to live up to his own potential, he chose to betray Feng Yuan even though there was a rift between them. This can be considered "excusable".

"Okay! Then you and I will work together to surround and kill Feng Yuan at Wanxiu Peak!" Master Tiegui hesitated for a moment and nodded.

He is a talented person and a bold person.

As the only mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivator in the two alliances, he thought to himself that even if this matter was planned by the Lord of Bliss and Feng Yuan, he would be able to escape unscathed.

At most, he would lose some of his trusted men during the retreat.

But if it is true... he will make a lot of money by conspiring with the Lord of Bliss this time.

There is no reason for him not to do a business with low risk and high returns.

……

The Luoxia Secret Realm will be open for a total of three months.

Although there were newcomers among the Nascent Soul cultivators who entered this time, the pattern was similar to the past. In the first month, the mortality rate was extremely high. In the next two months, the mortality rate gradually decreased, even approaching zero.

"Buchan!"

As the last three days approached the closure of the secret realm, Master Han Dan, who had been calm and composed all the time, suddenly shouted loudly, attracting the attention of all the cultivators present.

"Han Buyan is dead?"

The Nine-Nation Alliance was astonished.

Han Buyan is the biological daughter of Master Han Dan. She has countless secret treasures in her hands and has experienced several battles in secret realms. How could she die so easily today?

Wei Tu was even more shocked.

He clearly remembered that Han Buchan was carrying the inferior spiritual treasure "Monroe Pearl" with him. As long as Gong Shulan did not kill him, there would be few Nascent Soul cultivators who entered the secret realm who could threaten Han Buchan.

But when he looked up, he did see the broken soul tablet with Han Buchan's name on it in Master Han Dan's storage bag.

"Could it be that Gong Shulan ordered the assassination?"

Wei Tu's eyes flickered.

He didn't think that Gong Shulan would turn a deaf ear to his words. Although this woman was a first-rate demon, she wouldn't go against him, a master of the Incarnation God.

If it was really Gong Shulan who killed him...

He guessed that either Han Buyan's strength had threatened Gong Shulan during the fight for the treasure, or Han Buyan had... a treasure that Gong Shulan could not refuse, forcing her to kill for the treasure.

"No matter what... the preparations we should make now are to ensure that Gong Shulan is not robbed and killed by Master Han Dan when she comes out of the secret realm!"

"You know, this Menluo Pearl is not easy to take. It has the imprint of Master Han Dan's consciousness on it. It is difficult for ordinary space magic tools to cover it up."

Wei Tu suppressed his distracting thoughts and stopped thinking about it.

After all, Gong Shulan was the secret realm agent he personally selected. No matter whether this woman took what he said to heart or not, these were internal conflicts between him and her. Before leaving Wanfeng Immortal City, he needed to protect this woman as much as possible.

"My fellow Taoists, please help me kill the murderer of my beloved daughter."

At this time, Master Han Dan looked towards the group of quasi-gods of the Nine Nations Alliance who were sitting cross-legged in the air, his eyes full of pleading.

Moreover, perhaps because Wei Tu showed off his skills last time and demonstrated his powerful fighting ability, when pleading for mercy, Master Han Dan paid more attention to Wei Tu.

But... although Wei Tu could not be sure that it was Gong Shulan who did this, he thought it was almost certain. Therefore, when he saw Master Han Dan looking at him, he had to turn his head slightly and avoid this gaze.

It's hard to have everything right.

If it was someone else, he could still help a little. However, for Gong Shulan, he could only help this old friend from the same hometown.

Fortunately, Wei Tu was not the only one who didn't talk, so there was no need for him to feel too embarrassed.

All the quasi-gods of the Nine-Nation Alliance were basically silent at this moment, and only two or three people promised to take action against the cultivator who killed Han Buchan as appropriate after the secret realm ended.

But this was obviously far from what Han Danshi had expected. He was eager for revenge this time, not only for his beloved daughter, but also for the treasures in the secret realm.

——Since the murderer was able to kill Han Buchan who possessed the Monroe Pearl, then with his strength, even if he got the chance, it would be difficult for him to capture him in the first place.

Only by asking several powerful quasi-gods in the Nine-Nation Alliance to help him, would he have a 100% chance of success.

And Wei Tu was one of these powerful people in his eyes.

"My fellow Taoists, if you can help me avenge this, I will give you a pill to replenish my baby!"

Master Han Dan glanced at the cultivators present and gritted his teeth before offering a reward.

This pill of infant-replenishing pill was his last remaining fortune. He had originally intended to use it to break through to the divine realm, but compared to the treasures in the secret realm, its value was very limited.

"it is good!"

"Since it is Master Han Dan who has asked us to do so, how can we not help?"

"Even if we don't have this pill, we are willing to help Master Han Dan."

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators from the nine-nation alliance swept away their previous indifference, smiled, and expressed their opinions.

How can the so-called favors bring any real benefits?

Just now, it was not that they did not want to help Master Han Dan, but they calculated that Master Han Dan would take the initiative to sacrifice himself for this matter.

"Wen will definitely do his best!"

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu sighed secretly, followed the crowd and said this.

Now he could only pray that the person who killed Han Buyan was not Gong Shulan.

……

Three days passed by in a flash.

The three great gods descended from the Jiugang Sky and each sent a spell into the Luoxia Secret Realm.

After a while, the Luoxia Secret Realm was opened, and lights of various colors flowed out from the entrance of the secret realm and fled to their respective Wanfeng Immortal City and Xuanren Immortal City.

At this time, Master Han Dan, who was above Wanfeng Immortal City, also sensed the aura of his own inferior spiritual treasure "Menluo Pearl". He focused his eyes and locked his spiritual consciousness on a female cultivator in a white dress with a cold temperament.

"It's her! She was the one who killed Bu Chan!"

Master Han Dan roared and turned into a beam of fire, flying towards the woman. At the same time, he sent a message to the group of quasi-divine cultivators of the Nine Nations Alliance who he had invited, urging them to take action together.

"Not Gong Shulan?"

After receiving the message from Master Han Dan, Wei Tu also discovered the female cultivator in white dress, but what surprised him was that this woman was not his old friend Gong Shulan as he had guessed.

On the contrary, it was a female Nascent Soul cultivator from the Sanxi League.

However, at this moment, he could not afford to think too much.

The temptation of the infant-boosting elixir to him was still quite great.

But unfortunately, during the moment he hesitated, a quasi-god-transcendence monk from the alliance had already arrived at the entrance of the secret realm before him and robbed and killed the girl.

Under the siege of several quasi-gods, the woman didn't even have time to react, and soon died, surrendering her head.

"So easy?"

When Master Han Dan saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. How could the murderer who was capable of killing his daughter Han Buchan target a Divine Transformation cultivator without even the slightest ability to stop him?
However, at this point, it would be difficult for him to ask his fellow monks present to help him find another murderer, as that would be a break of promise.

He had no choice but to return to Wanfeng Fairy City with this doubt.

Half an hour later.

The cultivators returned to their respective caves and counted their harvests.

"It was me who killed Han Buyan..."

After returning to the cave, Gong Shulan took the initiative to admit in front of Wei Tu that she was the murderer of Han Buyan.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, but the doubts in his heart were also resolved.

"Fairy Gong is smart. She knew that taking the Menluo Pearl would bring disaster upon herself, so she put the blame on someone else."

Wei Tu praised her with words, but did not mention why Gong Shulan went against his words and wanted to kill Han Buyan. He believed that with Gong Shulan's intelligence, she should be able to give him a reasonable explanation.

Because this involves the trust between them.

If Gong Shulan didn't explain clearly, even if there was another good opportunity like entering the Luoxia Secret Realm in the future, he would rather find someone else than Gong Shulan.

The words fell.

Gong Shulan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wei Tu had previously said that he would "try his best" not to kill Han Buyan, as an outsider, it was difficult for her to know the specific weight of Han Buyan in Wei Tu's heart.

Now it seems that Han Buyan’s weight is not that serious and it is not a weak spot.

Otherwise, if Wei Tu knew that Han Buyan was killed by her personally, he would not be as easy to talk to as he is now.

"I killed Han Buyan because she wanted to kill me after she knew I had raided several tribe vaults of the indigenous demon tribe... Of course, I couldn't let her go just for that reason, but later, the people I sent to lurk in the Huolin tribe saw that she used that pearl, which is the Monroe Pearl in the hands of Fellow Daoist Wei, to snatch a fifth-level spiritual object, so I came up with the idea of ​​killing her to steal the treasure."

Gong Shulan revealed all the reasons and motives for killing Han Buyan.

Han Buchan's kidnapping and killing of Gong Shulan was the starting point of the conflict.

And then, the fact that he had a precious treasure on him was the fundamental reason why Gong Shulan wanted to kill him.

"A fifth-rank spiritual creature?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's heart moved and he felt relieved.

If he were Gong Shulan, he would probably be tempted after seeing Han Buyan holding a fifth-level spiritual object.

There is no other reason, the fifth-level spiritual object is too tempting.

Moreover, there was the conflict of Han Buchan robbing and killing Gong Shulan. Gong Shulan had no feelings for Han Dan and his daughter, so what psychological burden could she have to do it?
"Besides, Han Buyan knew that Gong Shulan was mine, but he still dared to rob and kill her. That means he had no intention of showing mercy to me from the beginning..."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Before this, he thought that there was another hidden story behind Han Buyan's death, perhaps because Gong Shulan was too cruel and vicious.

But he forgot that, although Master Han Dan and his daughter were indeed very close to him, they were only superficial in front of Master Deng, his former "benefactor".

Back then, Sect Leader Deng presented an elixir for curing poison to Master Han Dan and his daughter. Although Master Han Dan had already purchased something else and no longer owed Han Buyan the favor of saving his life…if he had met a more kind person, Sect Leader Deng would not have let the matter end in such a sloppy way, leaving him with only a small favor.

The cold-heartedness of his father and daughter could be seen in their early years, but he had been a powerful man for a long time and had no chance to see such petty intrigues like Master Deng did.

"Friend Wei, this is the fifth-level spiritual object that Han Buchan was trying to steal."

Gong Shulan smiled slightly and took out a five-colored lotus from the storage bag. The lotus contained precious light and fine light golden runes appeared on the roots. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.

"Five Elements Spiritual Leaves?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, greatly surprised.

He didn't expect that the spiritual item for replenishing the infant that Liu Daoshou had mentioned when he was trying to win him over to join the Taizhen Sect, which he could exchange for in the Taizhen Sect, would appear before his eyes.

Moreover, this five-element spiritual leaf is not just one, but a whole plant.

In other words, strictly speaking, this thing is not called "Five Elements Spiritual Leaf", but is called "Five-Colored Treasure Lotus".

This five-colored precious lotus has five petals, and each petal is a "Five Elements Spiritual Leaf".

The Five Elements Spiritual Leaves are just items for nourishing infant spirits.

But the five-colored precious lotus is different. It is a natural treasure that can help a god-transforming master increase his cultivation.

"No wonder Han Buchan dared to ignore me and kill Gong Shulan. It turns out that he had set his sights on this five-colored treasure lotus from the beginning. With this five-colored treasure lotus, and with Master Han Dan's many years of accumulation, his attainment of the Divine Transformation is just around the corner."

“By then, there will be no need to flatter a Quasi-God.”

Wei Tu sneered secretly, but at this moment, he guessed what Han Buyan was planning when he robbed and killed Gong Shulan.

Next, Wei Tu did not hide anything and directly told Gong Shulan the benefits of the five-colored lotus.

"According to the agreement, Wei will buy spiritual objects above level 5 at a 40% discount."

"This treasure is priceless. If we go by the market price, it's worth five infant-replenishing pills. A 60% discount... that's three infant-replenishing pills."

"And the most suitable exchange method for Fairy Gong is to exchange this item for two Five Elements Spiritual Leaves and a Pill for Replenishing Infants. In this way, if you can find one or two more methods to replenish infants, you can... look forward to the realm of transformation..."

"But if this five-colored precious lotus lacks the five-element spirit leaves, its value to me will be greatly reduced. It is far less valuable than refining the whole lotus."

"If it is feasible, Wei is willing to give Fairy Gong a pill of infant-boosting pill first, and the remaining two five-element spirit leaves... will be delivered in batches within the next twenty years."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

At this time, he had to buy the Five-Colored Precious Lotus at 60% off its original price. Although this made him feel extremely painful, after all, this rounding off was equivalent to giving up most of the opportunity to become a God.

But he also knew that if Gong Shulan had not worked hard in the Luoxia Secret Realm and acted decisively, he would never have gotten the five-colored lotus, a fifth-level spiritual object.

Looking at it from another perspective, all he paid for was a spot in the Luoxia Secret Realm, but what he got was 40% of the five-colored lotus, which was a huge profit.

As for the two Five Elements Spiritual Leaves that were delivered in twenty years...

It was Wei Tu who was plotting against Emperor Taizhen.

There are exactly two "Five Elements Spirit Leaves" left in the Taizhen Sect. They were snatched back to the Taizhen Sect by Alliance Leader Feng when the two alliances were fighting hundreds of years ago.

It's a pity that with the interference of Master Tiegui and Marquis Ji Le Shen Hou, the complete five-colored precious lotus became a broken lotus when it was divided into their hands, and could only be used by the quasi-divine monks under their command as a nourishing object for infant spirits.

"One pill of nourishing infant pills and two five-element spirit leaves?"

Hearing this, Gong Shulan thought that Wei Tu was indeed a generous person and did not let her down.

"Since Brother Wei is using this Five-Colored Precious Lotus, I will naturally not force Brother Wei to give it up..."

“But obtaining two more Five Elements Spiritual Leaves within twenty years is inevitably a bit illusory.”

Gong Shulan shook her head and said.

"What does Fairy Gong mean?"

Wei Tu understood, realizing that Bai Shulan wanted to use other spiritual objects in exchange and did not want to invest in this "risky stock" of his.

"If possible, I would like to exchange these two Five Elements Spiritual Leaves for the Sky-Splitting Sculpture."

"With this eagle, my ability to survive has greatly increased..."

Gong Shulan bowed with a look of request on her face.

What she said was not false. If it weren't for the Sky-Splitting Eagle's use of the space-shifting ability of the "Red Spirit Wings" to help her avoid Han Buchan's fatal attack, she might not be able to stand here and talk to Wei Tu now.

"Sky-Splitting Eagle..."

"This sculpture..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu frowned. He just borrowed his Diaoer from Gong Shulan for use, so why did this girl take a fancy to it?

Nowadays, this old friend, the Sky-Splitting Eagle, is indeed unable to keep up with his progress in cultivation. He has thought about changing his spiritual pet more than once.

For example, the "Mountain Collapse Bear" beside his daughter is a good choice. That Mountain Collapse Bear has the blood of a true spirit and has reached the late stage of the Golden Core. Its growth potential is much higher than that of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, a spiritual pet that was born from a mortal demon.

However, this eagle has been with him for a long time, and he also has the space escape technique "Red Spirit Wing"...

"The Sky-Splitting Eagle is already spiritual, and was given a family name by Wei, so it is considered a member of my Wei family and should not be used for trading."

Wei Tu shook his head and declined.

Hearing this, Gong Shulan sighed and said nothing more about the matter.

The idea of ​​trading the Sky-Splitting Eagle was just something she mentioned casually. If it succeeded, everyone would be happy, but if it failed, there was no need to be depressed.

"Well... I have a secret weapon refining technique that might be useful to Fairy Gong. How about using this to exchange for an item to replenish the spirit of the infant?"

Suddenly, Wei Tu thought of something. He flipped his hand and took out the high-level weapon refining technique he got from the Monroe Pearl.

Gong Shulan is a human puppet master, and this immortal position can be regarded as a branch of the weapon refining lineage among the four arts of immortal cultivation.

The level of refinement skills, to a certain extent, determines the upper limit and success rate of puppets and human puppets.

"High-level weapon refining technique?"

After hearing what Wei Tu said, Gong Shulan was extremely confused. After all, no matter how advanced her weapon-refining skills were, they might not be able to match a spiritual object that could replenish an infant.

However, when she took the jade slip and carefully examined the weapon refining technique called "Melting Sun", the surprise on her face could no longer be concealed.
