I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 714: Quota Ownership, Self-Created Spells (4k, please subscribe)

After these words were spoken, Wei Tu's sense of belonging to Jishan Sect increased invisibly.

It can be considered as a heart-to-heart talk with Venerable Han Yue.

Although the relationship between the two of them is not that of confidants at this moment, it is better than that of friends.

After saying this, Venerable Han Yue did not discuss this topic any further. He nodded slightly to Wei Tu, then raised his escape light and went to hunt down the monk from Xiaohuan Palace who had escaped during the chaos of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Fortunately, the Five Scattered Taoists had taken precautions in advance, and none of the Xiaohuan Palace monks on the Sea Kun Whale managed to break out and escape, and all of them were trapped on the back of the Sea Kun Whale.

Although the Sea Kun Whale has great carrying capacity and its escape speed is comparable to that of a Jindan cultivator, it is still far behind Taoist Wu San and Venerable Han Yue.

Not long after, at a place nearly a hundred miles away from Wuliang Island, with the sudden fall of a phantom mountain, the defensive formation on the Haikun Whale was instantly destroyed, and the monks of the Xiaohuan Palace inside were crushed and exploded one after another, turning into pools of dirty blood on the whale's back.

A quarter of an hour later.

As a wave rose, the sea returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

……

the other side.

After dealing with the Xiaohuan Palace monk who knew the truth on "Wulian Island" and putting the blame on the Jishan Sect assassin, Zhuo Shaobai sat cross-legged on a nearby deserted island, waiting for a reply from the old ancestor, the Ghost Mother.

However, as time goes by, the sun rises and the moon appears.

There was no movement from the communication device in his arms.

"Could it be that the ancestor was too arrogant and was too happy to inform me after obtaining the treasure?"

Zhuo Shaobai frowned slightly, and this thought arose in his mind.

But soon, he shook his head subconsciously.

He is not an unknown person in the Youshen Sect. As a quasi-god, although he is not the ghost woman's direct disciple, he has a close relationship with her.

Otherwise, the witch wouldn't have let him be the only one responsible for this murder and treasure-stealing mission.

And sending a message to announce the good news doesn't waste time...

It didn't make sense that the ghost woman would ignore him.

"Could it be that he was injured by a spiritual treasure? He was seriously injured and had to hide in the dark to recover? To prevent me from knowing about his injuries?"

"No! That's not right! Even so, you can still inform me with a communication device. There's no need to meet me in person..."

Zhuo Shaobai shook his head and cleared these unrealistic thoughts from his mind one by one.

However, when he thought of "serious injury", a very low probability and ridiculous guess inevitably emerged in his mind.

That means the witch is dead!

Only in this way can it be explained why he did not immediately report the good news to him or give him a reply after he succeeded.

"No... Impossible, that's a Divine Master, how could he die so easily?"

Zhuo Shaobai swallowed and suppressed this crazy thought.

However, after a moment, he couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes.

After all, this was the only possible reality, and he couldn't afford to deceive himself.

Even though he couldn't figure out the reason.

But after a while.

His face suddenly showed obvious excitement and greed, and he kept muttering the word "opportunity".

After a while, Zhuo Shaobai turned into a yellow light and escaped from this deserted island. However, his direction was not to the "Wuliang Island" where he was stationed, but to the Youshen Sect, which was tens of thousands of miles away from here.

……

a few days later.

The forbidden area at the back mountain of Jishan Sect.

Underground, inside a huge empty stomach.

Sect Leader Zhu, the Five Scattered Taoists, Luqiu Qingfeng, and a middle-aged scholar with a tough face and dressed in ancient robes, sat cross-legged on black jade pillars that were more than half a meter high.

This black jade pillar is engraved with complex blood-colored array patterns all over, which looks quite mysterious. Following the jade pillar downwards, there is a mysterious array with a radius of several hundred feet.

In the center of the four black jade pillars is a wide white jade platform, where the "ghost woman", the god-transforming master captured by Wei Tu and Han Yue, is tied up.

At this moment, as the formation was operating, it could be clearly seen that the magical power of the ghost woman was being drawn by this mysterious formation, and was being transmitted along the blood-colored formation patterns to the Luqiu Qingfeng on the four black jade platforms.

“I never thought that the fourth candidate for this blood sacrifice formation would be Palace Master Luo.”

Outside the formation, Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue sat on either side of a stone table. He glanced at the middle-aged scholar on the fourth black jade pillar and spoke in a rather complicated tone.

Palace Master Luo is the Palace Master of the Law Enforcement Palace of Jishan Sect. He is the first good friend he made in Jishan Sect.

When he fought alongside him in the Yin Gui Sect, he was still only in the Nascent Soul stage. After hundreds of years of practice, he has reached the quasi-godhood realm.

Of course, he also has certain resource support.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for him to recover from the physical damage he suffered in the battle with Feng Han by himself.

However, these resource supports are not physical objects, but rather the will tendencies of his good friend who has attained the state of incarnation.

Palace Master Luo himself was a capable person. After receiving the resources from the upper echelons of the Jishan Sect, he naturally stood out and achieved the state of transformation into a god.

However, he had never thought of asking Jishan Sect to give the blood sacrifice quota to Palace Master Luo.

After all, there are only four places in total.

One of them was locked by him in advance and given to Luqiu Qingfeng.

One is the reward for the Five Scattered Taoists to lure the gods.

Two remain...

One of them, he promised Sect Leader Zhu that he would actively recommend him to Venerable Han Yue.

Therefore, it is reasonable and logical that the last spot should be decided by Jishan Sect, or Venerable Hanyue himself, as to who should be given the last spot to.

Now, Venerable Han Yue has given this last spot to Palace Master Luo, which clearly shows that it is related to him.

Otherwise, in terms of seniority and closeness with Venerable Han Yue, Palace Master Luo would not even be ranked.

"The quota was given to Palace Master Luo. It is indeed related to Junior Brother Wei. This relationship can be considered a decisive factor."

"But...he is suitable."

Venerable Han Yue chuckled, took a sip of the temperature difference in his hand, and replied.

"suitable?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyebrows first raised slightly, then slowly relaxed and nodded.

In terms of seniority and the closeness of his relationship with Venerable Han Yue, Palace Master Luo is indeed not ranked high.

However, the candidate is indeed the most suitable one.

First, it is related to him. He is his closest friend in Jishan Sect.

Secondly, although Palace Master Luo is not close to Venerable Han Yue and is not his disciple, it is precisely because of this that he represents the forces outside of the Jishan Sect's direct lineage.

These people can be ignored in most cases.

But being ignored does not mean being silent.

The allocation of the four places is reasonable and leaves no room for criticism.

However, no matter how much they said, they could not ignore the fact that the Five Scattered Taoists and Sect Master Zhu were the direct disciples of Venerable Han Yue.

Most people think that the rottenest meat is in the pot, but in a group, it is inevitable that opposing ideas and complaints will arise. However, the "opportunity" to break through to the level of a Spiritual Transformation Venerable is not a trivial matter after all, and it is impossible to randomly choose one person to take the lead.

Therefore, by accident, Palace Master Luo, who was not recommended by Wei Tu, became the most suitable person in the eyes of Venerable Han Yue.

"Moreover, among the four blood sacrifice quotas, it would be great if one of them could give birth to a god."

"Palace Master Luo, you are just a runner-up..."

Venerable Han Yue shook his head slightly and was not overly optimistic about the situation after the blood sacrifice of the "ghost woman".

Running alongside, this is indeed a cruel fact.

Wei Tu had no objection to this.

This time, Luqiu Qingfeng and the other three were allowed to make use of the "power of initiation" of the blood-sacrificed ghost woman to break through from the quasi-goddess transformation realm... Jishan Sect would naturally not allow Luqiu Qingfeng and the other three to play "freely".

Before entering the formation, Venerable Han Yue mobilized the "Zongtreasury" of Jishan Sect and provided Luqiu Qingfeng and others with the opportunity to borrow "infant spirit objects" to break through.

Each person can borrow or lend two spiritual items to nourish infants.

As for why more loans are not made, it is because the spiritual items for replenishing infants cannot be reused.

But... unfortunately, there are differences in the quality and value of spiritual objects for infants, and in how precious they are.

In this respect, Sect Master Zhu, Palace Master Luo, and the Five Scattered Taoists are definitely poor compared to Luqiu Qingfeng.

At this moment, in addition to the infant-replenishing spiritual objects borrowed from Jishan Sect, Luqiu Qingfeng also had the "Five Elements Spiritual Leaves", "Infant-Replenishing Pills" and "Xianyuan Grass" given by Wei Tu.

These three spiritual items for nourishing infants were all obtained by Wei Tu from Master Tiegui.

It is the accumulation of Master Tiegui's middle stage of transformation.

Each one is extraordinary.

Therefore, at this moment, Luqiu Qingfeng's breakthrough configuration can be said to be luxurious. Coupled with this woman's own "true spirit bloodline" and the extraordinary talent of a pure-blooded descendant, the probability of breaking through to the godhood this time is probably more than 20% higher than that of the five scattered Taoists.

As for the blood sacrifice formation, when it is initiating the initiation, the "spiritual energy" that is transmitted is evenly divided at the beginning. However, as others fail, these "spiritual energy" will gradually be concentrated on the latter who have the greatest hope of breaking through.

This is also the reason why Venerable Han Yue said that Palace Master Luo would be a runner-up.

——Without the special help from him and Venerable Han Yue, he is a real civilian player.

But at this point.

Wei Tu could do nothing to help.

Friends? Not as important as a close and intimate Taoist companion.

Except for cultivators like him who are at the "one-foot celestial infant" level and who do not need to replenish their infant spirit objects after breaking through to the God Transformation stage, the more infant spirit objects other cultivators need to replenish after breaking through to the God Transformation stage, the better.

Even though the more spiritual objects you absorb to replenish your baby, the lower the chance of a breakthrough will be, but it will still be effective.

……

"But it's hard to say. No one can be 100% sure of such a thing."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, breaking the silent atmosphere.

The probability of breakthrough is just a probability, not a certainty.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there is no shortage of people who rise to prominence despite adversity.

"If other cultivators said this, I might agree with it, but since Junior Brother Wei said this, it's hard to avoid the suspicion of boasting..."

Venerable Han Yue smiled and said in a teasing tone.

"One-foot Heavenly Infant" is a terrifying foundation that has a 99% chance of breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm. And Wei Tu is exactly in this category.

"More than ten years ago, Junior Brother Wei was willing to go to war with cultivators of the same level in order to secure this opportunity for his Taoist partner..."

“It seems that one of the people who will break through to the God Transformation stage this time will be this Ninth Princess.”

He said with a gleam in his eyes.

"Brother Han Yue, you are too kind."

"Junior brother is just giving Qingfeng a chance. Whether it will succeed depends on her."

Wei Tu was vague and did not intend to explain too much here.

After all, the "infant spirit-replenishing object" that Luqiu Qingfeng used to break through, and the "pure-blooded descendants" after his bloodline was purified, are not things that are easy to explain.

The words fell.

Venerable Han Yue naturally didn't believe it, but he wouldn't ask questions about it.

He also expected that Luqiu Qingfeng would be the one who would break through to become a deity after this blood sacrifice formation.

In that case, the three gods of their Jishan sect will be able to compete on equal terms with the other six sects of Xuandao.

……

After a brief discussion.

Wei Tu and Venerable Han Yue said nothing more and remained silent, waiting for the final result.

However, during this period, the two of them were not idle.

This time, after capturing the ghost woman alive.

The two of them also divided up the property of this fellow deity.

It is quite regrettable.

The ghost woman was not very wealthy, and the only magical treasure she had was a black chain.

This black chain has a similar function to the "Xuanling Gold Chain" on his body, so Wei Tu did not fight for it too much and gave it to Venerable Han Yue.

Of course, as compensation, Venerable Han Yue gave most of the other property on the ghost woman to Wei Tu.

Among these properties, more than 90% are ghost spiritual materials with yin attributes. Although these things are useless to Wei Tu, they are extremely useful to the Red Dragon Ancestor.

However, the ghost woman's legacy does contain things that Wei Tu is interested in.

In his spiritual memory, the method of "offering sacrifices to the ghost gods" was something he attached great importance to.

He and Venerable Han Yue had witnessed the power of this method. If the ghost woman had not had the misfortune of encountering this unreasonable man who practiced both Dharma and body, she would have probably escaped long ago.

"I offer sacrifices to the ghost god and use my real body to perform the ritual. However, due to the consumption of lifespan, the improvement is not significant, so it is useless."

"But if you use the second Yuanying, you won't have to worry about this."

His eyes flickered slightly as he pondered in his heart.

He had always treated the Five Elements Infant as a consumable and did not intend to keep cultivating it. After all, the cultivation method he had snatched from the Scorpio Ancestor could only allow it to break through to the fifth level at most. There was no way to reach a higher level.

"In addition, this method seems to be able to cooperate with the corpse-raising method in the "Spiritual Zombie Secret Manual"."

"Use the second Nascent Soul as the soul and the refined corpse as the body..."

After pondering for a while, Wei Tu's ideas became more and more extensive.

When he reaches this level, in addition to following the path of his predecessors, he can also use his own foundation to create magical powers and achieve the goal of "using the magic for his own benefit."

Equivalent to "The Six Classics Annotate Me".

The "Lingjiang Law" mastered by the great senior Lingjiangzi was created by himself.

Although he does not have the ability to create a law at this moment, it is not difficult for him to integrate the magical powers he has mastered and use them for his own benefit.

"Now, I will start practicing this method of "offering sacrifices to the ghost god" and try to summon the ghost god with my second Yuanying..."

Wei Tu closed his eyes slightly and began to comprehend the profoundness of this method.
