I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

She plotted against Tianmei Xuenu and felt sorry for the kindness her mentor had shown her.

However, for the survival of the sect, she had to do this.

Once the Ghost Shadow Palace successfully takes control of the Southern Region and the sect's power continues to grow, and it uses this to expel the hatred towards the Great Snow Mountain, then she, the Divine Transformation Venerable, can escape, but how can she, these old friends and disciples in the Great Snow Mountain, escape?
There's no use playing ostrich.

I'm afraid that most of them will become nourishment for the Ghost Shadow Palace monks to practice.

She...had no choice.

If the situation really came to a life-and-death situation for the entire sect, not only would Tianmei Xuenu be sacrificed, she would also be prepared to sacrifice herself.

……

There is a common "will" between the Great Snow Mountain and Xianlingdao sects.

Wei Tu and Lin Xuan'er, who were chosen as the marriage candidates, began to be arranged by the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl to have private contact and cultivate feelings.

It is worth mentioning that.

There were also some minor incidents in the middle.

The Yanhuang Sect, one of the three factions in the alliance, heard from somewhere that the Xianling Sect was inclined to form an alliance with the Great Snow Mountain. Fearing that they would be left alone, they immediately sent the younger generation of Nascent Soul in the sect to the Great Snow Mountain to express their willingness for an alliance.

However, as the highest-level ally of Xianlingdao in the Central Region, the Yanhuang Sect, although having the idea of ​​competing with Xianlingdao in this matter, maintained healthy competition and did not directly disrupt the marriage between Wei Tu and Lin Xuaner.

He simply arranged for the sect's reserve god-transforming warrior, Taoist Shangyang, to go to the Great Snow Mountain to make friends with Wei Tu and Lin Xuan'er, hoping that Lin Xuan'er would take the initiative to choose Taoist Shangyang and achieve free love.

In this way, it would not be considered a betrayal of the alliance with the Xianling Dao.

After all, the Great Snow Mountain and Xianling Dao sects have not yet finalized the engagement between the two, and are only at the stage of initial contact between the two.

It’s just a pity that even though Taoist Shangyang is very famous in the Central Region, has a handsome appearance, and is a fourth-rank master of alchemy, his contact was purposeful... anyone can see it.

Therefore, when the conditions of the satellite map itself are not bad, everyone in the Great Snow Mountain, including Lin Xuaner, prefers to choose the satellite map.

Time flies like an arrow.

half a month later.

After seeing that Lin Xuan'er had been deliberately distancing herself from him, Taoist Shangyang, who had been repeatedly pressured by his sect, finally couldn't help it and challenged Wei Tu to a duel in alchemy.

He planned to use his best art of alchemy to please Wei Tu.

After being defeated, he withdrew on his own and stopped harassing Wei Tu and Lin Xuan'er.

Of course, he proposed this alchemy duel not to bully Wei Tu, but because he accidentally heard Wei Tu say that he also knew a little about alchemy and had achieved the fourth level of attainment.

"Well...what if Fellow Daoist Shangyang wins?"

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, looked at Taoist Shangyang, and asked with a smile.

Although he is about the same age as Taoist Shangyang, he is definitely Taoist Shangyang's "senior" in terms of both mentality and realm, so he doesn't care much about this kind of competition among juniors.

However, if Taoist Shangyang is too selfish and narrow-minded, he doesn't mind deliberately losing to Taoist Shangyang to let this boy experience the feeling of being assassinated by Tianmei Xuenu.

——If he guessed correctly, Tianmei Xuenu would most likely take action against the person to be engaged after the engagement was formally established.

As for the person who made the engagement, he can do it, and so can Taoist Shangyang.

However, such mysterious things were obviously not something that a newly arrived Yuanying-level young man like Taoist Shangyang could know.

therefore--

After hearing Wei Tu's questioning of him, Taoist Shangyang intuitively felt that this was an embarrassment from Wei Tu.

Like the victor's disdain for him.

After all, whether he is here or not, it has no effect on Wei Tu and Lin Xuan'er. There is no need for Wei Tu to engage in such a thankless alchemy duel with him.

If he won, could he shamelessly make the excessive request that Wei Tu voluntarily give up Lin Xuan'er's identity?
Doesn’t this… go against the sect’s original intention?
It is important to form a marriage alliance with the Great Snow Mountain, and it is important to snatch the next Snow Girl, but if you make enemies with your old ally, the Immortal Spirit Sect, for this, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Immediately, Taoist Shangyang fell into inner conflict.

His situation was similar to Lin Xuan'er's in the sect, or even slightly worse. After all, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl only had Lin Xuan'er as a disciple, while there were two other reserve disciples for him to reach the God Transformation stage in the Yanhuang Sect. However, those two already had Taoist partners, so it was not convenient for them to come and form an alliance, so he got an advantage.

Therefore, even though this kind of jealous behavior made him feel uncomfortable and he thought it was degrading himself, for the sake of this great achievement and for the sake of being ranked in advance for the opportunity to become a god... he could only endure it.

He did not think too much about the alchemy contest with Wei Tu. He just wanted to make Wei Tu lose face so as to prove that he was a truly strong man and a good son-in-law.

As for what price Wei Tu would pay after winning... he didn't have any more detailed plans.

Or rather, I don’t dare to mention it.

Because he had already stated the conditions for his defeat, the implication was that he also wanted Wei Tu to act according to these terms.

But unfortunately, Wei Tu didn't fall into his trap at all, and instead outwitted him, turning him into a clown.

——How could he have the nerve to say openly that he treated Lin Xuan'er as a bargaining chip?

On the other hand, although Lin Xuan'er felt a little bit reluctant to see Taoist Shangyang in trouble, she also realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of her two-timing, so after thinking about it, she swallowed the words that were in her mouth to persuade the two not to fight, and waited patiently for what would happen next.

However, in order to prevent the matter from getting out of hand, she also used the sound transmission fabei in her sleeve to secretly inform her master, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

"If I win... I will help the Sixth Elder improve his alchemy skills in the future, so that we can make progress together!"

After a while, Taoist Shangyang's face turned red and he gritted his teeth and said these insincere words.

Just now, he was in high spirits and challenged Wei Tu, inviting him to a duel in alchemy.

But at this moment, before the fight even started, he was the first to surrender like a defeated rooster.

The words fell.

A clear and crisp laughter like a silver bell suddenly sounded. It was Lin Xuan'er who was standing beside her. She covered her mouth with her hands and smiled with her eyes curved. She didn't look like a Nascent Soul ancestor who had experienced many things in the world, but rather a young girl who had not experienced much in the world.
Hearing this laughter, Taoist Shangyang was stunned at first, but after he reacted, his face suddenly turned cold, and the red flush of helplessness just now disappeared. He glanced at Lin Xuan'er coldly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

He was a child of destiny, and it was against his will for him to humble himself to please Lin Xuan'er. Now he was mocked by Lin Xuan'er, how could he not be angry? However, for the sake of the sect's overall plan, he did not lose his temper.

Even though he knew that there was a high probability that Lin Xuan'er's mistake was unintentional, it didn't mean that he could tolerate it.

"I was too suspicious... The Sixth Elder and Fairy Lin are a match made in heaven. I came here rashly and disturbed your pleasure. It is my fault."

The Shangyang Taoist angrily bowed and immediately left without any reluctance.

At this time, Lin Xuan'er, who had just laughed, gradually stopped laughing. Her eyes dimmed a little. She looked up at Wei Tu, who was a little surprised by the direction of this development, and asked, "Could it be that the Sixth Elder is also disgusted by my behavior?"

Obviously, the woman's laughter just now was intentional and not an unintentional mistake as people might have thought.

"If not, how could Fairy Lin chase away Taoist Shangyang?"

Wei Tu shook his head and looked at Lin Xuan'er deeply. His impression of Lin Xuan'er instantly deepened, and he no longer had the same idea about the game as before.

This girl was not the good girl he thought she was.

In other words, this woman was valued by the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and was intended to be trained as the next Snow Girl, so her mind would not be so pure and simple. However, her deliberate laughter to drive away the Taoist Shangyang was not a bad act, but a good thing for the Taoist Shangyang.

He attributed the failure of Taoist Shangyang's marriage proposal to himself in order to avoid Taoist Shangyang being blamed by the sect.

In a sense, it's goodwill.

As for matters like this, as long as Taoist Shangyang thinks about them carefully after returning, he will surely come to his senses.

“So, Fairy Lin took the initiative to choose me to be your husband?” Wei Tu glanced at the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl who was hiding in the clouds and peeking down, and said lightly.

Lin Xuaner's only options for husband were him and Taoist Shangyang of Yanhuang Sect. Now that this girl had offended Taoist Shangyang and he had voluntarily withdrawn, the only candidate left was him.

With Wei Tu's intelligence, Lin Xuan'er believed that Wei Tu would be able to guess this when he heard her confess her crimes.

But seeing Wei Tu's calmness when he heard the good news, she still felt hurt and concerned.

Even though she knew that this was just a marriage...

The two of them had only been together for a short time.

There is no love at first sight or love that grows over time.

It would be abnormal for Wei Tu to show joy, he was just pretending in front of her.

"The Sixth Elder is smart..."

Lin Xuan'er sighed secretly, maintaining a standard smile on her face. After bowing to Wei Tuyingying, she flicked her jade sleeves and flew away immediately.

After Lin Xuan'er left, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl who had been spying secretly also quietly left.

Sensing that the spiritual consciousness that was nearby had disappeared, Wei Tu could not help but shook his head.

Just now, he remained calm and deliberately provoked Lin Xuan'er's disgust. It was also for Lin Xuan'er's good. After all, marrying this girl was just a plot by him and Qi Yaoxian against "Tianmei Xuenu". After this girl felt disgusted, it was natural for her to regret the marriage later.

Although this matter was quite cruel for Lin Xuan'er, she was the next Snow Girl and was closely related to the survival of the Great Snow Mountain.

"If this woman hadn't deliberately interfered, it would have been a good idea to give this marriage to Taoist Shangyang..."

Wei Tu thought secretly.

Taoist Shangyang's answer was quite good. He didn't have any ill feelings towards this person, but he didn't have a good impression of him either.

He would be very happy if he could push the trouble onto this boy.

But he never expected that before the alchemy duel even started, this guy would run away in disgrace. Otherwise, he really intended to lose to this guy in the alchemy duel.

Anyway, the victory or defeat in the fight between the younger generations doesn’t mean much.

……

After Taoist Shangyang voluntarily withdrew.

The next day.

The two major sects, Daxueshan and Xianlingdao, confirmed the marriage between "Wei Tu" and "Lin Xuan'er" in written form, and sent invitations to their engagement ceremony to all sects.

In a short time, the statement made by Wei Tu and Lin Xuan'er spread throughout the central and northern regions of Da Yan.

During this period, Qi Yaoxian also left the Great Snow Mountain on the pretext that the Xianling Dao had some sect affairs to deal with.

"finally come!"

On the fifth day after the invitation was sent out, Wei Tu, who was living in the cave of the welcoming hall, used the "blood induction" of the "ghost soul" to accurately spy on the "unusual movement" of Tianmei Xuenu coming out of the forbidden area and flying towards him quickly.

His eyes turned cold and he slapped his storage bag, immediately summoning the Sky-Splitting Eagle and letting the eagle use the space escape method of [Red Spirit Wings] to escape from the Snow Mountain and notify Qi Yaoxian who was hiding nearby to come.

And he quietly put on the "green-faced tortoise shell" and hid it under his robe.

Half an hour later.

The formation of the welcoming hall cave quietly collapsed.

A cultivator wearing a straw hat and a loose grey robe walked into the living room of the cave in a flash. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the retreat room which was privately set up with numerous formations and prohibitions. While secretly praying to Wei Tu for being cautious, she raised her hand and a dozen thumb-sized drops of dark red water suddenly shot out from her fingertips and shot over.

The dark water droplets were as black as ink, and there seemed to be countless ghosts lurking inside. As they flew a little, shrill ghostly cries were heard.

If there were any Ghost Shadow Sect monks here, they would surely recognize at a glance that this dark water drop is the Yellow Springs Dark Water, the first-class great magical power recorded in the Ghost Shadow Sect's holy scripture, the "Slaying Ghosts and Demons Sutra".

The water droplets hit the numerous restrictions. Although they were weak, they contained great corrosiveness. With just a slight touch, these restrictions instantly disintegrated into nothingness and disappeared completely.

However, something unexpected happened to the monk in the gray robe and bamboo hat.

There is no one in this retreat room!
“How is this possible?” The gray-robed monk was greatly shocked. She had clearly seen Wei Tu enter this cave, so it was impossible for him to suddenly disappear.

There is no retreat room, then...

She realized something instantly, took out a yellowed folding fan from her sleeve, and blocked it backwards.

Just listen to a "dang" sound.

The folding fan magic treasure, which had not yet been fully raised, and she were immediately blown away by a huge force. She wanted to take this opportunity to fly away in mid-air, but unexpectedly her body suddenly sank, as if thousands of mountains were pressing down on her. She had no choice but to fall heavily and landed in the "retreat room" that she had just opened.

"What a great strength..." The gray-robed monk suppressed the blood in his throat and, ignoring the damage to his body on his back, quickly looked behind him.

Suddenly, in the deserted corridor, a monk in a green robe with an ordinary face appeared. This man was the "Sixth Elder of the Immortal Spiritual Dao" whom she was familiar with but had never met before.

"You are a Divine Transformation cultivator? Moreover, you are practicing both Dharma and body?"

The grey-robed monk's pretty face hidden under her straw hat suddenly revealed a look of astonishment. Even if she was stupid at this moment, she understood that she had fallen into an ambush by the green-robed monk in front of her.

This person deliberately disguised himself as a young Yuanying to lure her into taking action.

"Monk of Transformation..."

At the same time, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, who appeared at the entrance of the cave, saw this scene and showed a complicated expression.

She never expected that the Nascent Soul youngster she had been calculating and worrying about turned out to be a Spirit Transformation Master whose realm was no less than hers and whose combat power was even greater than hers.

If you scheme against a young Yuanying, compensation will be easy to negotiate.

But the scheme against the Divine Master... is impossible to make up for.

Although she also understood that Wei Tu was most likely plotting against them, the Great Snow Mountain, but after all, this was a blatant sneak attack by Tianmei Xuenu, and logically, the Great Snow Mountain could not stand the case.

As for concealing one's identity and realm...

Compared with the sneak attack by the God of Transformation, this matter is not worth mentioning at all.

Moreover, at this moment, she also vaguely felt that Qi Yaoxian, who had just arrived here... When the two great gods of the Immortal Spirit Dao held her accountable, she would be in a weak position in terms of strength since she was already in the wrong. (End of this chapter)
