I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 701: All parties make peace, the secret palace is temporarily closed (4k, please subscribe)

"We are allies. As long as Fellow Daoist Lou and Fellow Daoist Chi hand over the information they have obtained in the Lingjiang Palace."

"As long as we get the information from the Lingjiang Palace, the four of us will share the benefits. We will definitely... keep our mouths shut about this."

Qi Yaoxian stepped forward and answered for Wei Tu.

Although Wei Tu and she did not have any further communication at this time, with her experience, how could she not see the reason why Wei Tu helped her and what he was planning.

Now, her statement was a response to Wei Tu's willingness to form an alliance, and a further pressure on Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, Fellow Daoist Wen, don't you two think this is a bit too much? It's fine that you set up an ambush for us at the entrance of the underground palace, but now you're threatening us to hand over the information in the Lingjiang Palace..."

Chi Fengtai said with a rather unwilling tone.

After she finished speaking, she pointed her fingers, and the two golden swords floating in front of her chest suddenly flashed with light and pointed at the faces of Wei Tu and Qi Yaoxian respectively, less than three steps away from the two.

The great battle of incarnation is about to break out again.

"Fellow Daoist Chi is right. When it comes to morality, the two of us did go a little too far. However, the world of cultivation is not a place that only emphasizes morality."

Seeing this, Qi Yaoxian sneered coldly without showing any weakness.

However, her words were still a bit reserved, and she did not directly say the four words "strength is everything", leaving some room for both sides to ease the tension.

What she meant was simple.

She and Wei Tu had done something wrong, and they were too afraid of death to venture into the Lingjiang Palace. They were much more despicable than Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai... But this was a world of immortal cultivation that valued strength.

Don’t share the information of Lingjiang Palace…

Then the consequences are obvious.

The four of them should stop coveting the opportunities in the Lingjiang Palace.

Moreover, once this information spreads, Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai will instantly become popular in the eyes of other gods in the Great Yan cultivation world.

——In the Great Yan cultivation world, besides those of them who were in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation, there were also those who were in the middle and late stages of the Spiritual Transformation whose realms were above theirs.

Even though the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation seems to have become some kind of myth and legend nowadays, and cannot be seen in the secular world, if the news of the emergence of the Lingjiang Palace spreads, it will definitely attract it.

The words fell.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became as silent as death, and you could hear a pin drop.

Now, with the moral cloak torn off, what the four of them are facing are only naked interests.

After taking a deep breath, King Lou Shi made a choice, or rather, this choice was not difficult to make.

"As compensation, the order in which the four of us take treasures from the Lingjiang Palace must give priority to me and Fellow Daoist Chi."

"After we two each select a treasure, Fellow Daoist Qi and Fellow Daoist Wen can then choose."

King Lou Shi made his conditions clear.

Hearing this, Chi Fengtai hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"It's natural."

Wei Tu had no reason to refuse this condition. Even if it was a negotiation of interests, he had to give the other party some dignity, otherwise he would really create an endless hatred.

The same goes for Qi Yaoxian.

She was already very satisfied that she could go from being a unilateral and passive apology to enjoying the fruits of coercion together with Wei Tu.

……

After the negotiations are over.

Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai did not waste any time. They took out a blank jade slip, recorded the information in the Lingjiang Palace, and passed it to Wei Tu using their magic power.

This action surprised Qi Yaoxian who saw this scene. After all, in terms of strength and status, she was higher than Wei Tu, and this intimidation of the two was caused by Wei Tu's intervention.

According to common sense, Wei Tu should have had a deep feud with Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai.

But now, looking at the expressions of Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai, it is clear that they attach great importance to Wei Tu and have the intention of making friends with him.

However, after thinking for a while, Qi Yaoxian suddenly realized something.

This action was not because Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai did not hate Wei Tu's intervention, but because the two of them guessed that Wei Tu had not formed an alliance with her before, but was the "oriole" behind her, the mantis.

Such a person is much more difficult to deal with than her.

Now, although Wei Tu has a grudge against these two people, this grudge has not yet reached the point of life and death, so instead of becoming enemies, it is better to make friends with Wei Tu, who is a very troublesome person.

"The most important thing is that the man surnamed Wen is a wandering cultivator. The Taizhen Sect has already perished, and he has no fixed place to live. If we can win him over, it will be of great benefit to both forces."

Qi Yaoxian narrowed her eyes and thought of this level.

There are slight differences between individual cultivators.

For example, Chi Fengtai, although this woman calls herself a casual cultivator, she also has a certain foundation in the northern region of Dayan.

Like Wei Tu, he was truly alone after the fall of Emperor Taizhen.

While Qi Yaoxian was thinking about how to win over Wei Tu.

Wei Tu, who took the intelligence jade slips handed over by Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai, could not help but frowned and said inwardly, "No wonder, no wonder these two did not hesitate too much, and after being intimidated, they readily handed over the information in the Lingjiang Palace."

If what Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai said was true, it would be impossible for the four of them to gain anything from this Lingjiang Palace in a short period of time. Entering this palace again would just be a waste of time.

It was very simple. After passing several checkpoints in the Lingjiang Palace, Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai encountered the real death calamity for the Venerable Yu Huashen - the Sinking Corpse Realm.

If the evil land of corpses is the "law-manifested object" left behind by Lingjiangzi, the great master of the fusion, then the "corpse-manifested law domain" is the real core area of ​​this "law-manifested object".

Inside, there are not only the laws of the spiritual zombie's own domain, but also a corpse zombie in the late stage of spiritual transformation that was born with the laws and is sleeping.

Even though the zombie's strength is not as good as that of a Spiritual Transformation master of the same level, the zombie in the late Spiritual Transformation stage is comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the middle Spiritual Transformation stage.

It would be difficult for the four of them to take down this zombie in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm without appropriate preparation.

Not to mention no injuries.

Moreover, according to King Lou Shi's judgment, this zombie in the late stage of the Spiritualization stage seemed to have developed intelligence, and was no different from a demon beast, equivalent to a "corpse demon", and was not comparable to an ordinary zombie.

This time, if Lou Mingyue had not been lucky enough to discover the space crack torn by the laws in the Lingjiang Palace, Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai would have been buried in the Lingjiang Palace.

After reading the information, Wei Tu handed the jade slip to Qi Yaoxian who was standing beside him.

"This……"

Similar to Wei Tu’s reaction, Qi Yaoxian’s face was gloomy again after reading the intelligence.

How could she be happy after losing so many disciples and sect foundation, only to get a useless "Spiritual Zombie Palace" in return?

"However, the existence of the 'Sinking Corpse Domain' in the Lingjiang Palace is not entirely a bad thing. Since it is a domain, there must be a domain crystal inside. After obtaining this treasure, not only can it be used to comprehend the laws of Lingjiangzi's life, but it can also be used as a medium to refine your own domain in the future..."

Qi Yaoxian comforted herself and thought silently.

After calming down, Qi Yaoxian focused her eyes on Lou Shiwang and Lou Mingyue behind him.

"Friend Lou, I don't know if this information is true or not, so I need to borrow your granddaughter. Please don't mind."

She said indifferently.

Before this, since she had already offended Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai, she didn't mind being the bad guy now and offending them more severely. Anyway, this bit of hatred was still within Lou Shiwang's tolerance range.

After hearing what Qi Yaoxian said, King Lou Shi naturally knew what she was planning.

It was nothing more than "searching Lou Mingyue's soul". However, apart from this method, there was no other way to prove the truth of the information he and Chi Fengtai had said.

After whispering to Lou Mingyue, Lou Shiwang glanced at Qi Yaoxian coldly, then pushed Lou Mingyue in front of Wei Tu and signaled Wei Tu to "search her soul".

The soul-searching technique, as long as the caster is careful, with the ability of the spirit, will not cause too much harm to Lou Mingyue.

"Thank you... Master Wei Dan."

Lou Mingyue glanced at Wei Tu, lowered her head slightly, with a look of fear and an invisible blush on her face, and said in a trembling voice.

"Fairy Lou, please rest assured. I am not an ungrateful person."

Seeing this, Wei Tu smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal Lou Mingyue not to be nervous.

Lou Mingyue didn't think much about it. She raised her forehead and closed her eyes nervously, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Soul-calling technique!" Wei Tu shook his head, pointed his fingers, and used the hand of the Red Dragon Ancestor to perform this technique.

This technique is much better than the simple and crude soul-searching technique, and it will not leave any hidden dangers to the person who is affected.

He was merciless to Lou Shiwang, but he still had some feelings for Lou Mingyue, an old friend who had helped him.

A beam of black light came out from Wei Tu's fingertips and landed on Lou Mingyue's brow.

Soon, Lou Mingyue fell into a deep sleep, his body stiffened and swayed.

However, with the support of Wei Tu's magical power, he still remained standing and did not fall down.

"Hypnosis?" Upon seeing this scene, Lou Shiwang's gaze towards Wei Tu became a little softer.

It is true that he hated Wei Tu, but this hatred was because Wei Tu and he were in the enemy camp.

In this regard, he can still distinguish between public and private affairs.

However, what is honey to one may be poison to another.

In Qi Yaoxian's opinion, the "hypnotic interrogation" of the monks is ultimately not as authentic as the information obtained by soul-searching.

However, Wei Tu and she were allies with the same interests. If the intelligence obtained was false, it would not be a good thing for Wei Tu... So after opening her mouth, she swallowed the words back into her stomach and said nothing more.

A quarter of an hour later.

Under Wei Tu's "soul-calling technique", Lou Mingyue revealed one by one a series of experiences that she and Lou Shiwang had after entering the Lingjiang Palace.

This information is exactly the same as the contents of the jade slips provided by Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai.

After listening to this, Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

If what Lou Shiwang and Chi Fengtai said was false, he didn't know what to do at this moment.

Fortunately, these two people did not do such a stupid thing.

……

After confirming that the intelligence was true, Wei Tu, Qi Yaoxian, Lou Shiwang, and Chi Fengtai regained some trust.

The four of them started talking about business.

——How to enter the Lingjiang Palace to get the treasure.

In a short period of time, with the strength of the four of them, it is not enough to kill the late-stage zombie guard in the "Sinking Corpse Domain" without any injury, so they can only wait.

Just like killing the two zombies guarding the entrance to the underground palace before, make full preparations before attacking.

The best way is to find a formation that can restrain this late stage Spirit Transformation zombie guard and kill the enemy with the power of the formation.

"I have previously obtained a formation called the 'Four Beasts God-Destroying Formation'. This formation is of the lower sixth order and should have been passed down from the spirit world..."

"It's difficult for the four of us to set up a sixth-order low-grade formation. However, after years of research, I have found that this formation can be simplified into a fifth-order high-grade formation... After setting up this formation, with the combined strength of the four of us, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with this late-stage spirit transformation corpse."

Chi Fengtai groaned and said.

After saying this, Chi Fengtai flipped his hand, took out the formation diagram of this formation, and handed it to Wei Tu and the other two without hiding anything.

"The Four Beasts God-Slaying Formation?"

Wei Tu was surprised when he heard this. He took the formation diagram from Chi Fengtai and examined it carefully.

This Four Beasts God-Destroying Formation is indeed suitable for solving this problem, but if you want to set up this formation, you must refine the four four-beast formation flags that form the base of the formation.

The lowest standard of this Four Beasts Banner is at the lower fifth rank...

But refining a fifth-level low-grade spiritual treasure is easier said than done.

He had successfully refined the "Green-faced Turtle Shell" before, but that was also because the Iron Turtle Master's protective spiritual armor was already of a high grade. As long as the problem of smelting was solved, it would be successful with a little refining.

"I have already refined two four-beast formation flags. Now, I am still short of two formation flags. If the Sword Fire Palace and the Immortal Spirit Sect have the magic power, it should not be a problem to solve this problem."

Chi Fengtai seemed to see Wei Tu's difficulties and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Tu felt relieved.

He nodded and took the initiative to express his willingness to take on part of the cost of refining the spirit crystals for the remaining two formation flags.

However, upon hearing this, Qi Yaoxian immediately waved her hand, indicating that Wei Tu did not need to invest.

She smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Wen was invited by me to come to the Lingjiang Palace, the cost of refining the formation flags... Xianling Dao will naturally bear it, so Fellow Daoist Wen doesn't need to work hard..."

"Reciprocate?"

Wei Tu felt strange.

Although he stood on Qi Yaoxian's side just now, he didn't think that Qi Yaoxian couldn't see that he had been secretly monitoring her so that she could take advantage of him.

However, since Qi Yaoxian is willing to take on the responsibility, he will not be hypocritical and refuse this good thing.

"It takes a lot of time to collect the spiritual materials for refining the formation flags and the sealed weapon souls. You and I will meet again in fifty years and come to the Lingzhang Palace again..."

Chi Fengtai discussed with Qi Yaoxian and Lou Shiwang, the two great sect ancestors, and decided on the time for their next joint expedition to Lingjiang Palace.

"Fifty years."

Hearing this time, Wei Tu was slightly stunned.

This time difference is also the meeting time difference agreed upon by Gong Shulan, him, Fu Linglong and others.

Calculating the time, there are only about ten years left before the next time we meet.

"Master Wei Dan, goodbye."

"Come visit Jianhuo Palace some other day."

Lou Mingyue, who was leaving with Lou Shiwang, greeted Wei Tu. She waved to Wei Tu, smiled coquettishly, and there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

This time, if Wei Tu had not taken their old relationship into consideration, she would have had to go through the pain of soul-searching.

After a while, Chi Fengtai also disappeared in a flash and left Lingjiang Palace.

Outside the Lingjiang Palace, only Wei Tu and Qi Yaoxian, the ancestor of the Xianling Dao, who was standing in place and collecting the formation flags, were left.

"Fellow Daoist Wen is still not leaving. Could it be that you really want to form an alliance with me? Do you want us to be close friends?"

Qi Yaoxian joked without hesitation.
