I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

In this regard.

Wei Tu expressed his gratitude again.

But after that, he didn't communicate much with Lou Mingyue and Liu Shaofeng. He said that he had just arrived and needed to settle down first. So he said goodbye to Gong Shulan and the other two and went to Xianzhan in Xuanyanfang City alone, rented a room and rested.

It's not that he's ignorant.

It's just that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It's easy for Gong Shulan to fabricate a fake background, but with the addition of him as an "old friend", it would be too easy to be exposed if they talked too much about the past.

But what surprised him a little was that

Shortly after he said goodbye to Gong Shulan, half a day later, the male cultivator named "Liu Shaofeng" found the inn where he was temporarily staying and knocked on the door to ask for a meeting.

"What's the important matter, Elder Liu? Why would you like to see me?"

Wei Tu waved his sleeves, opened the door of the guest room, invited Liu Shaofeng in, and asked with confusion.

As a friend of Gong Shulan and Lou Mingyue in the same circle, Liu Shaofeng's abilities are naturally not bad either.

Although his background is not as good as Lou Mingyue, the descendant of the incarnation, he has better talent in the Jianhuo Palace. He is one of the top ten inner sect elders and a quasi-incarnation seed.

Of course, these achievements are far inferior to those of Wei Tu.

In Wei Tu's eyes, he was just a Yuanying junior.

"Liu came here just to ask Master Wei to help Liu refine some fourth-level elixirs."

Liu Shaofeng took a seat and said with a smile.

However, after he said this, he did not see any joy on Wei Tu's face, and he immediately understood that Wei Tu was not someone who could be easily fooled.

After all, the idea of ​​refining the elixir could have been mentioned during their previous meeting, so there was no need to look for Wei Tu again.

He suppressed the smile on his face, paused, and went straight to the point: "Friend Wei's family name... should be Wen, right?"

“Wen?” Upon hearing this, Wei Tu’s eyes suddenly showed a cold light, but deep down, he felt relieved.

He thought Liu Shaofeng wanted to talk to him about something important, but he never expected that his "identity" was accidentally exposed.

Although this was beyond his expectations, it was not unacceptable to him.

Before he came to Xuanyan Market, he had already prepared for his alias "Wen Tianqi" to be revealed.

——The Xianling Dao is secretly looking for him, which makes no sense, and the "Sword and Fire Palace" of the four sects in the Central Region has turned a deaf ear to it.

It is highly likely that after Gong Shulan returned to the Central Region, she was targeted by the Jianhuo Palace.

Jianhuo Palace knew about Gong Shulan's special relationship with him, and that he had invited her to be his "agent" in the Luoxia Secret Realm.

He and Gong Shulan were exposed early on.

Now, he, Gong Shulan's "old friend", appeared in front of Liu Shaofeng... and naturally, his identity was discovered by Liu Shaofeng.

“It’s also because I trusted Gong Shulan too much. Her excellence is only among people of the same level. In front of the power of the God Transformation, she is inevitably much more immature.” Wei Tu sighed secretly and thought to himself.

This kind of immaturity does not refer to immature means or immature thoughts, but rather the information gap between the Divine Transformation forces and a Yuanying cultivator.

There is no shame in losing to Jianhuo Palace.

"But...Fellow Daoist Liu came to me alone. I think you are the only one who figured out that Wei's last name is Wen, and that he is Wen Tianqi. Fairy Lou hasn't figured it out yet?"

Wei Tu asked with a cold look in his eyes.

The Xianling Dao and the Jianhuo Palace are in a hostile relationship. The fact that he is a Venerable God of Transformation should only be known by the Xianling Dao where Qi Yaoxian is.

But no matter what, according to the information from the Jianhuo Palace, he is also a quasi-god-transforming cultivator.

In other words, if Liu Shaofeng came to talk to him on behalf of Jianhuo Palace, he was not qualified enough. It was most likely that he came for himself.

Liu Shaofeng could see Wei Tu's true identity, so he was naturally a smart man and could hear Wei Tu's hidden meaning.

He nodded and replied: "Friend Lou has not yet realized that Master Wei Dan is Wen Tianqi of the Nine Nations Alliance. This time Liu came here for some selfish reasons..."

"Liu wants the Taizhen Sect's spiritual transformation technique, the 'Seven Profound Immortal Technique'." Liu Shaofeng said after a pause.

"As long as Master Wei Dan is willing to give this skill to me, I will never reveal a single word about Master Wei Dan's true identity."

Liu Shaofeng stood up and bowed.

"The Seven Profound Immortal Arts?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Liu Shaofeng in front of him with surprise.

He didn't expect that the "hush money" Liu Shaofeng asked for was so cheap, just the Taizhen Sect's Shenhua technique.

After the fall of Emperor Taizhen, this replicable wealth of knowledge was difficult to value in the eyes of an outsider like him.

But unfortunately, this requires that he has the "Seven Profound Immortal Art", a spiritual practice that can transform one's spirit into reality.

After all, he had only been a member of the Taizhen Sect for a short time, and he did not need to switch to other techniques, so it was natural that he would not be interested in obtaining the Seven Mysterious Immortal Technique, a technique that could transform the spirit...

"Wei Mou doesn't have the Seven Profound Immortal Arts here."

Wei Tu said calmly.

"How is it possible that there is no such martial art as the Seven Profound Immortal Arts?" Liu Shaofeng still didn't believe it. He raised his head and stared at Wei Tu with cold eyes, full of questioning.

But the next moment, a pressure as strong as a deep mountain was released from Wei Tu and rushed towards him quickly.

"Puwa~" Liu Shaofeng was hit hard, spurted out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards, and hit the wall of the guest room hard.

"What……"

"The Supreme God of Transformation?"

After landing, Liu Shaofeng was covered in blood. He looked at Wei Tu in shock, his eyes full of fear.

He stepped backwards, trying to break through the wall, but without exception, he was bounced back and was trapped in the spot.

"Impossible, impossible. How could you be a Divine Transformation Master... How could I be so unlucky..."

Liu Shaofeng was trembling all over, regretting his decision.

He had made some calculations before he came. Although the difference in strength between the late Nascent Soul cultivator and the Quasi-God Transformation cultivator was enormous, it was not yet to the point of an insurmountable chasm. As long as he dealt with it carefully, he would not be afraid of Wei Tu's sudden attack.

In the territory of Jianhuo Palace, Wei Tu will still be more restrained.

But... he never expected that Wei Tu was actually a Divine Transformation Master, and his power was far beyond his expectations.

In front of the Venerable Huashen, he didn't even have the chance to escape.

"No wonder, no wonder...he was able to escape from the Southern Region safely and come to Xuanyan Market."

Liu Shaofeng looked dazed and muttered to himself.

……

On the other side of the guest room, Wei Tu, who saw this scene, took out a sound transmission magic tool and prepared to contact Gong Shulan. According to the old story, he would refine Liu Shaofeng into a human puppet to eliminate the unknown risk that this person knew that he was "Wen Tianqi".

"Chen Tan" was able to deceive Feng Yuan and Jile Shenhou, so there is no reason why "Liu Shaofeng"'s human puppet could not deceive the cultivators of Jianhuo Palace.

However, just when he contacted Gong Shulan.

But in the corner, Liu Shaofeng, who was in a daze, suddenly regained his composure.

"I am willing to be a soul servant. I hope Senior Wen will spare my life."

Liu Shaofeng said in a trembling voice the possibility that was most favorable to him at the moment.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

After running into Wei Tu, the Divine Master, this was the only option he had if he wanted to survive. "Soul Servant?"

Wei Tu frowned and hesitated slightly.

Compared to human puppets, soul servants do have various advantages, such as having self-awareness, being less likely to be suspected by people around them, and being easier to control.

But there are also disadvantages, that is... as long as Liu Shaofeng wants, he can pass his information to Jianhuo Palace regardless of his own life and death.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, soul servants are inseparable from their masters, making it easier to control the life and death of the soul servants and prevent them from saying things they shouldn't.

And Liu Shaofeng...

Because of the sensitivity of her identity, it was difficult for him to keep her by his side.

"I am loyal to the end and will never betray Senior Wen." Liu Shaofeng seemed to have noticed Wei Tu's hesitation about him becoming a soul servant. His heart trembled and he said quickly.

"And, and..."

“Only if I am alive can Senior Wen gain the benefits of the Seven Profound Immortal Arts.”

Liu Shaofeng said through gritting his teeth.

"What are the benefits of the Seven Mysterious Immortal Skills?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but be surprised. He had previously thought that Liu Shaofeng asked him for the "Seven Profound Immortal Arts" as hush money just for the purpose of practicing, or to sell this knowledge in exchange for resources for practicing.

I never thought that there was another secret here.

"Old Demon Zhu!" Upon seeing this, Wei Tu did not hesitate and directly summoned the Red Dragon Ancestor, asking him to search Liu Shaofeng's soul with the "Soul-Calling Technique".

He didn't believe Liu Shaofeng's one-sided statement.

"I see……"

After a while, Wei Tu's face showed a look of sudden realization. Through the "soul search" of the Red Dragon Ancestor, he knew the ins and outs of why Liu Shaofeng asked him for the "Seven Profound Immortal Arts".

It turned out that many years ago, the Taizhen Sect and the Jianhuo Palace, the two major sects of the Divine Transformation Movement, once belonged to the same sect.

The two sects at that time were called "Jian Zhen Sect" and were among the most powerful forces in the Central Region.

At that time, the forces in the Southern Region happened to be in a state of division, so the powerful Jianzhen Sect sent its disciples to take advantage of the situation and forcibly opened up a branch sect in the Southern Region.

But unfortunately, due to geographical isolation.

As time went by, the differences between the two sects became increasingly greater, and the "Taizhen Sect", a separate branch, increasingly wanted to break away from the "Jianzhen Sect", develop independently, and get rid of the control of the main sect.

As a member of the "Sword and Fire Palace" lineage, he was also resentful of the betrayal of his branch.

Violent clashes ensued in both cases.

However, under the restraint of knowledgeable people, this drama of splitting up the family did not develop into a life-and-death fight between the two sects. After several conflicts, the Jianzhen Sect recognized the independence of the Taizhen Sect.

Later, the "Jian Zhen Sect" in the Central Region encountered a catastrophe. Ten of the sect members were killed and nine were injured. The sect's inheritance was also seriously lost. Fortunately, the current sect leader inherited the legacy of his predecessors and continued the Jian Zhen Sect's lineage.

However, at this time, the Jianzhen Sect was also changed to the "Jianhuo Palace" and focused on practicing fire-based techniques.

However, although the Jianzhen Sect was "destroyed", it still left a lot of heritage in the Jianhuo Palace.

Hundreds of years ago, a secret realm of inheritance was discovered inside the Jianhuo Palace, among the ruins left by the Jianzhen Sect.

However, in order to enter this secret realm, one must master the "Seven Profound Immortal Arts" practiced by the direct descendants of the Jianzhen Sect.

But... what is regrettable is that the Jianhuo Palace at this time had long lost this skill, and only the "Taizhen Sect" of that time still has the inheritance.

Therefore, over the past few hundred years, many Jianhuo Palace high-ranking officials who knew the news went to the southern region of Dayan and worked hard to obtain the "Seven Profound Immortal Art", a spiritual practice.

However, due to sectarianism and the interests of the Taizhen Sect, Feng Yuan did not pass on his sect's "Seven Profound Immortal Arts" to the Jianhuo Palace, the "original sect", but politely declined the Jianhuo Palace.

Eight years ago, Feng Yuan was defeated and died tragically, which finally gave the Jianhuo Palace hope of regaining the "Seven Profound Immortal Arts".

It is precisely for this reason that Jianhuo Palace has been paying close attention to the escaped Sixth Taoist Master of Taizhen Sect "Wen Tianqi" and Gong Shulan, who was helped by "Wen Tianqi" over the past eight years. This is why Liu Shaofeng guessed Wei Tu's identity when he saw him for the first time.

"If that's the case, then Lou Mingyue has also guessed that I am Wen Tianqi?"

Wei Tu took a deep breath and suddenly felt that he was unlucky to meet Gong Shulan, an acquaintance of his in Xuanyan Market.

The Jianhuo Palace was waiting for him.

"According to Liu Shaofeng's memory, Lou Mingyue should not know about this." The Red Dragon Patriarch shook his head and gave Wei Tu a negative answer.

"I don't know?"

Wei Tu was a little confused.

“That inheritance secret realm is precious to Liu Shaofeng, but it is just average to the descendants of the God Transformation Realm. How can the resources given by the God Transformation Realm be compared to a secret realm?”

The Red Dragon Patriarch shook his head and smiled, saying.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was stunned at first, then nodded.

Although the Jianzhen Sect gave birth to two powerful forces, the Taizhen Sect and the Jianhuo Palace, it does not mean that the present is inferior to the past.

The upper limit of the human world is fixed.

The secret realm of Jianzhen Sect's inheritance may be a rich legacy for an individual, but for Jianhuo Palace, a god-transformation-level force, it is only a slight benefit.

Lou Mingyue is the descendant of a divine being, so Jianhuo Palace may lack resources from other cultivators, but it definitely cannot lack resources from this girl.

What constrains this woman's realm is more the upper limit of her talent and the accumulation of time, rather than ordinary resources.

"If Lou Mingyue doesn't know, as long as Liu Shaofeng doesn't tell anyone... my existence can be concealed for the time being."

Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was not afraid of his identity being disclosed, nor was he afraid of the Jianhuo Palace's divine power, but not being afraid did not mean he had to do so... If it was leaked rashly, it would not be as easy for him to act in the future.

A very simple example.

If he settled in Xuanyan Market as a spirit being and rented a Grade A Fire Cave Mansion, what would the Sword Fire Palace Patriarch think? Would he intervene?
These are all unknowns.

"Now, should we ask that girl surnamed Gong to refine a human puppet, or should we take this boy as a soul servant?"

The Red Dragon Patriarch asked Wei Tu about his thoughts.

"I want to go out and get some fresh air, too."

The Red Dragon Ancestor laughed.

From his words, it seemed that he was more inclined to make Liu Shaofeng into a human puppet.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he remembered the warning given to him by Mrs. Jin.

Now, even if there is a soul tablet to restrain the Red Dragon Ancestor, if this demon is left away from him for a long time, there will inevitably be more risks.

If he were the Red Dragon Ancestor, he would not want to be restrained for his entire life and would definitely look for a chance to escape.

in short.

Now, he should trust the Red Dragon Ancestor.

But never, trust one hundred percent.

"Although there are certain risks in becoming a soul servant, this person is timid and will not betray me."

Wei Tu shook his head and expressed his opinion.
