I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 702: The Secret Scripture of the Spiritual Zombie, sorry for my absence (4k, please subscribe)

"Fairy Qi is joking."

Hearing this, Wei Tu shook his head and smiled. He didn't stay there for long. He flicked his sleeves, turned into a green rainbow, and then fled far away from the Lingjiang Palace.

With his knowledge, he naturally understood the hidden meaning of Qi Yaoxian's words. This woman was not the kind of chaste female cultivator, and she did not mind deepening her relationship with him in another way.

However, he has always kept his distance from femme fatale like Qi Yaoxian, and would never have too much contact with her in private.

He is not so cruel as to be affectionate one moment and turn against you mercilessly the next.

Of course, Wei Tu also did not forget the purpose of his original return to Lingjiang Palace.

When he fled away from Lingjiang Palace, he turned back halfway as he had done before and waited patiently for Qi Yaoxian to leave.

Half a day later.

After Qi Yaoxian removed the formation and left Lingjiang Palace, he continued to wait patiently for several days. Then he flashed and returned to the entrance of Lingjiang Palace.

Soon, he arrived at the second-floor attic in the Lingjiang Palace.

“This is the place.” Wei Tu’s palms glowed with spiritual light, and he tapped a certain spot on the attic wall more than ten times with different spells.

Followed by the sound of a mechanism starting up.

Soon, the wall caved in, revealing a secret compartment shaped like a niche, two feet long, wide, and half a foot deep.

Inside the secret compartment, there was a statue that was exactly the same as the one previously placed on the second floor of the attic, but it was several times smaller.

He was also wearing a red robe and holding a corpse bell.

"Why is there a secret compartment here? And why is there a statue here?"

Wei Tu frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.

However, just as his spiritual consciousness touched the statue, a powerful consciousness instantly escaped from the statue and rushed into the depths of his mind.

Fortunately, this consciousness was not a remnant soul, but an inherited memory. After a brief contact, he released part of his sea of ​​consciousness and let it be imprinted.

"The Secret Book of the Spiritual Zombie..." After a moment, Wei Tu opened his eyes and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

He was lucky. The inherited memory in the statue was exactly the lifelong inheritance of immortal art compiled by Lingjiangzi, the owner of Lingjiang Palace, during his lifetime - the art of raising corpses.

The art of raising corpses is very common in the world of immortal cultivation, and more than 90% of demon cultivators have learned this unconventional technique.

Strictly speaking, this method can also be regarded as a kind of puppetry, which is a common external means to increase one's own strength.

Before, when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he had seized the Yin-Yang Demon Corpse that the Taoist Six Desires had nurtured, as well as the various methods he used to nurture and refine the corpse.

For example, "The Art of Dual Cultivation with Corpses", "The Yin-Yang Spirit Enthronement Method", etc.

Although the names of these corpse refining methods sound mysterious, they can all be classified into the general category of "corpse raising techniques".

The Secret Scripture of the Spirit Zombie is a high-level inheritance of the "corpse-raising technique". The corpses cultivated in this way can even reach the legendary fusion realm.

The inheritance of the immortal arts of the fusion level...

This is the highest-level inheritance Wei Tu has ever come into contact with. How could he not be happy about it?

However, after briefly reading the "Spiritual Zhuang Secret Scripture", he did not get any information from it about why Ling Jiangzi left this scripture here.

"Perhaps, this is just a little willfulness of Ling Jiangzi." He shook his head and thought.

Like him, he also buried the skills and magic techniques he practiced in the past near his old house in Aoki County.

In his opinion, the extremely precious fusion inheritance was just a piece of knowledge in Ling Jiangzi's brain.

Hiding it in the secret compartment was perhaps done with the malicious intent of making sure that any monks who entered the underground palace would return empty-handed after entering the treasure land.

……

After obtaining the "Spiritual Zombie Secret Scripture", Wei Tu did not stay in the Spiritual Zombie Palace for long. After restoring the attic to its original appearance, he tiptoed and quickly left the underground palace without any intention of exploring the depths of the Spiritual Zombie Palace.

People have self-knowledge.

Although he is better than Lou Shiwang and others in terms of life-saving means, if he encounters the "Corpse Sinking Domain" when entering the depths of the Lingjiang Palace, he is not confident that he can escape by relying on space cracks like Lou Shiwang and others.

Space cracks are not space passages, and they are not something permanent and fixed. It is possible that they are there one moment and disappear without a trace the next.

It is a foolish thing to gamble your life on your own luck.

Five days later.

Wei Tu followed the same route he came in and left the evil place where corpses were sunk.

Half a month later, he returned to Xuanyan Market. At the entrance of Gong Shulan's cave with a "Retreat Sign" hanging on it, he left a talisman and left without much reluctance.

"There is something else going on. Time is running out. The fifty-year agreement will be cancelled for the time being..."

A few days later, Gong Shulan, who had just finished her retreat, looked at the contents of the talisman and felt lost.

Originally, she thought that this hometown association she had put together would be as important as the charity society back then and would hold a high enough importance in Wei Tu's heart.

But unfortunately, it was just a reunion.

It was less than ten years before they met for the second time, but Wei Tu, the backbone of the group, "broke the promise".

"That's right! He is a venerable incarnation. It is a blessing that he can take care of us friends for a while. How can he keep bothering us..."

Gong Shulan thought silently.

If it were someone else, let alone the care given by Wei Tu, from the moment they attained the state of spiritual enlightenment, they would be separated into the categories of "senior" and "junior", and the gap would be like a chasm.

Compared to this, Wei Tu, the God of Transformation, is too approachable.

While Gong Shulan was sighing, Wei Tu had already flown to the vicinity of the "Holy Buddha Temple", one of the four major sects in the Central Region.

If they didn't break their promise, the place where he and Gong Shulan, Fu Zhizhou and Fu Linglong would meet ten years later would be here.

This place was not a place he had randomly chosen on the spur of the moment.

But it was carefully considered.

——The opportunity for him to break through to the fifth level of body refining may have to be found in the Holy Buddha Temple.

The Buddha bones left behind by the Holy Buddha Temple's Master Huashen after his death have the effect of refining the body. It is the most top-notch treasure for refining the body that he has heard of in the Great Yan cultivation world.

"Venerable Wei."

After waiting for about an hour, Fu Dalu, who received the news, quickly flew out of the Holy Buddha Temple to meet Wei Tu.

Fu Dalu's face was filled with joy, and he treated Wei Tu with the same respect as before, without overstepping the boundaries in the slightest.

"My sister is a disciple of the Divine Transformation Stage, and her behavior has attracted much attention within the sect, so it is not appropriate for her to come out right away. I have already reserved a private room for Venerable Wei and my sister in the Fairy Inn at the foot of the mountain gate..."

Fu Dalu talked eloquently.

He didn't think that Wei Tu came to the Holy Buddha Temple just to see him.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was stunned and speechless.

He came to the Holy Buddha Temple in a hurry and did not inform Fu Dalu in advance, but this guy had been helping him and Fu Linglong book a private room in the Fairy Inn... The purpose was self-evident.

"That's fine. Wei sees that Linglong does have some important matters to discuss, so it's better to be private."

He nodded slightly with an expression of appreciation in his eyes. After taking the voucher for the Xianzhan private room from Fu Dalu, he left the gate of the Holy Buddha Temple in a flash.

……

That night.

At the foot of the Holy Buddha Temple, in Xuanyun Market. After Fu Dalu escorted his sister Fu Linglong into the box, he stood at the door without going in. He paced back and forth near the door, feeling very nervous.

After a while, when he saw the candle in the house go out, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"As a disciple of the Buddhist sect and Master Lan, it is really bold for me to do this."

"But Venerable Wei is also a Divine Transformation Venerable. How can a Divine Transformation disciple be as good as... a Divine Transformation mistress?"

"Pleasing Venerable Wei is the key."

Fu Dalu was both pleased and worried.

After all, as Buddhist practitioners, the direct descendants of the Holy Buddha Temple are strictly forbidden from getting married, let alone practicing dual cultivation with others.

If people knew that Fu Linglong, a dignified Buddhist woman, had secretly gone down the mountain to meet her "mistress", Fu Linglong's status and cultivation in the Holy Buddha Temple would probably be abolished immediately.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the Holy Buddha Temple does not know that Fu Linglong’s lover is the Venerable Huashen.

Because of this, although he knew that it was extremely risky to let Fu Linglong and Wei Tu meet now, he also enjoyed it...

There is a soundproof formation.

What happened in the box was not known to outsiders.

After a tryst for several hours.

Wei Tu put on his clothes and sat on the chair next to the Eight Immortals Table. He glanced at Fu Linglong, who was naked, breathing lightly on the bed with a flushed face, and asked her about the Buddha's bones in the Holy Buddha Temple.

"The Buddha bones are what was left behind by the Venerable Transformation God after his death in the Holy Buddha Temple. There are not enough for the disciples in the temple to share, so they will never be taken to the outside world to trade with other monks."

"Of course, if Wei Lang reveals his identity as a divine master and then trades with the Holy Buddha Temple on an equal footing, that would be another matter..."

Fu Linglong shook her head and told the truth.

"Equal trade?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly. It’s not that he didn’t know the benefits of equal trade.

However, although this move could obtain some Buddha bones from the Holy Buddha Temple, the quantity must be limited. The Holy Buddha Temple was willing to trade only to give him some face.

For him, that little bit of Buddha bone was just a drop in the bucket and was not enough to break through to the fifth level of body refining.

But if you use illegal means...

Putting aside whether he is willing to become a robbery cultivator for this purpose, the Holy Buddha Temple alone is not so easy to deal with.

Although the Holy Buddha Temple is known as one of the four major sects in the Central Region along with the Xianling Sect, the Jianhuo Palace and other sects, the strength of this sect is undoubtedly the number one among the four sects.

It’s nothing. Master Lan of the Holy Buddha Temple is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, not an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Moreover, his strength is not as strong as Master Tiegui's, and he is at the bottom of the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"I do have an idea, but it depends on whether Wei Lang is willing to invest the money." Seeing this, Fu Linglong smiled coquettishly and spoke.

"What's the idea?"

Wei Tu's heart moved and he asked quickly.

Hearing this, Fu Linglong did not keep the secret. After a pause, she said bluntly: "In the Holy Buddha Temple, there is a benefit for the disciples of the Transformation Realm... If you can break through the Quasi-Transformation Realm within a thousand years, you will be given Buddha bones to help the Buddha girl transform."

"I, of course, have the qualifications."

"Although the number of Buddha bones bestowed is not too much, if we add what Wei Lang got from the Holy Buddha Temple, maybe it will be enough for Wei Lang's needs."

Fu Linglong made corresponding suggestions.

"The Buddha's bones are also useful to you. If you give them to me, you will miss this opportunity..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly and looked at Fu Linglong seriously, as if he wanted to see something from this girl.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

Among the Taoist companions in the world of immortal cultivation, some share resources with each other, but more of them are financially independent.

Now, the suggestion put forward by Fu Linglong meant that with his funding, he could break through to the Quasi-Godhood faster, and then the resource allocation obtained from the Holy Buddha Temple, that is, the bestowed Buddha bones, would be at his disposal.

It's a kind of resource exchange.

Of course, through this exchange of resources, Fu Linglong seemed to have lost her future, but in fact she did not suffer any loss.

Although Buddha bones are important, they alone are not enough to support a quasi-goddess to break through to the godtransformation realm. It can only be said that having more Buddha bones can increase that possibility a little bit.

However, Wei Tu is different.

He needs to help Fu Linglong break through from the middle stage of Nascent Soul to the Quasi-God Transformation realm.

If these resources were converted into spirit crystals, the value of the Buddha bones would probably exceed that of the Buddha bones.

However, considering the scarcity of Buddha bones and the lack of demand for them, this transaction is still feasible.

“No matter how good the future is, if you don’t seize the present, it will be vain.”

Fu Linglong groaned for a moment and replied.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Wei Tu and smiled gently, "Could it be that I am not worthy of your investment, Venerable Wei? Are you afraid that I will change my mind and covet the resources you invested?"

There was some resentment in Fu Linglong's tone when she said this.

Wei Tu knew that Fu Linglong was narrow-minded.

He was not surprised that the woman spoke like this. After all, no matter how much they were in love, it was impossible for her to lose her own nature.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts, talked business, nodded, and agreed to Fu Linglong's suggestion.

After all, to be honest, this woman's suggestion is indeed quite feasible, as long as she does not regret it afterwards.

And he didn't think there was much chance that this woman would go back on her word.

The consequences of offending him, a master of the Divine Transformation Realm, are not something Fu Linglong can bear.

"This is 1,700 spirit crystals, and some corresponding elixirs for the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the Quasi-God Transformation realm..."

After a while, after finalizing some details, Wei Tu readily took out the corresponding resources from his storage bag.

In the past, these resources would have been a great pressure for him, a "newly promoted god".

However, now that we have the legacy of Master Tiegui, this amount of resources is just a drop in the bucket.

"If I fail to break through, these resources will be used as the money for me to prostitute myself, Master Wei."

Seeing the neatly arranged spirit crystals on the table, Fu Linglong immediately smiled with eyes as big as crescent moons.

However, he still did not change his bandit nature. After accepting these spirit crystals, he uttered this obscene word again.

"If Venerable Wei feels distressed, I will not return to the mountain gate for the next few days and will accompany Venerable Wei."

Fu Linglong pulled away the thin blanket covering her body, gently raised her legs, arched her feet, and lightly touched Wei Tu's shoulder.

……

a few days later.

Wei Tu left the Holy Buddha Temple and did not stay in Xianzhan for long.

Moreover, after he left this time, he did not travel around other places in the Great Yan Cultivation World, but fled directly in the direction of the Great Cang Cultivation World.

His goal was very clear, which was to return to the immortal world of Guixu Sea, support Luqiu Qingfeng in breaking through to the God Transformation Realm, and at the same time unite with Venerable Hanyue to deal with his enemy, Venerable Tong.
