I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"Is this true?"

The Grand Elder of Jianhuo Palace was suddenly moved, his slightly closed eyes flashed with a gleam, and he began to consider the feasibility of cooperating with Tang Fengyi.

"This is not the place to talk. After the Tianquan Competition is over, you and I can discuss it in detail."

Without waiting for Tang Fengyi to reply, the Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace added this sentence, expressing his willingness to cooperate.

After hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the face of Tang Fengyi, who was seriously injured and pale.

The defeat in the Tianquan Competition not only caused the plan of the Grand Elder of Jianhuo Palace to fail, but also almost made her wish of breaking through to the God Transformation realm come to nothing.

Fortunately, the situation is not yet so dire that it cannot be salvaged, and there is still room for further planning...

Wei Tu, who was standing on the fighting stage and overheard the two people's conversation, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - "internal and external cooperation, careful design" means that this matter has been planned for a long time and will not produce results in a short time.

It also means that the "Lord of Huoyang Island" is still very patient and wants to take advantage of the chaos in Jianhuo Palace to lure him into the trap. He will not give up easily and break into Jianhuo Palace and cause chaos in it.

During this period, with his attainments in alchemy, he should be able to refine the "Yellow Ginseng Pill" as soon as possible and break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

"After reaching the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, it will be time to settle the accounts between the Lord of Huoyang Island and Master Qiye."

Wei Tu's eyes were slightly cold, with murderous intent in them.

Although the plan of the Lord of Huoyang Island failed and he did not gain any advantage from him, he transferred some of his hatred for Master Qiye to the Lord of Huoyang Island.

These two are the "cancer" of the Great Yan cultivation world!
When the Ghost Palace was in turmoil and the Spirit Son descended to the mortal world, these two did not come out to support the human race.

Disappeared without a trace, rarely seen in this world.

——Given the speed at which Master Qiye gathers information, he doesn’t believe that he has not heard about the rebellion in the Ghost Shadow Palace and the news that the Central Domain and Northern Domain’s Gods of Transformation are forced to form an alliance.

However, after Jiang Lingzi ascended to heaven, he set his sights on him and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

It's nothing more than bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Look at him and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl. They are easier to bully than the Mist Ghost Clan and Jiang Lingzi.

……

With Wei Tu's "victory", the "Tianquan Competition" involving the dispute between two factions also came to an end.

The defeated Fourth Elder, Seventh Elder and others were quickly dealt with by Lou Mingyue, who had reestablished his prestige.

There is no such thing as mercy in political struggle.

All of these people were punished by Lou Mingyue in accordance with the sect's rules of "disobeying the palace master". Their cultivation was banned by using slave instruments and they were banished to the forbidden area in the back mountains. They served as death row prisoners and were used to refine elixirs, instruments, talismans and other items needed by the sect.

Faced with this punishment, the Fourth Elder, the Seventh Elder and others wanted to resist, but when they saw that the Great Elder, who was standing next to Lou Mingyue, did not move at all, their faces suddenly turned ashen.

With their intelligence, it was not difficult for them to understand that the Great Elder had given up on them, the "abandoned children".

Without the approval of the Great Elder, how could they encourage Tang Fengyi and Taoist Black Wolf, two helpers who were about to become gods, to join them in rebellion and deal with Wei Tu and Lou Mingyue?

Moreover, after all, Tang Fengyi and Taoist Heilang, who were no match for Wei Tu and Gong Shulan on the fighting stage, would hardly have a chance of winning even if they were really willing to help them cause trouble!

However, at this moment, they did not dare to expose the Great Elder, the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, they were the only ones being punished now. Once they exposed the mastermind, given the Great Elder's ruthlessness, their disciples, relatives and clansmen would surely suffer.

After punishing the Fourth Elder, the Seventh Elder and others, Lou Mingyue did not make a fuss about it and directly announced the end of the Tianquan Competition.

He did not take the opportunity to implicate others and wipe out the entire faction of the Great Elder!
Not to mention, the Great Elder is the mastermind behind the scenes.

This move undoubtedly disappointed the Lou family cultivators present, and they labeled Lou Mingyue as "weak".

You know, now they have "Wei Tu" and "Gong Shulan" on their side. They can take the opportunity to punish the Great Elder without worrying about the consequences.

Once Wei Tu and Gong Shulan leave, without the help of these quasi-gods, the great elder, who is also a powerful quasi-god, is bound to become strong again.

If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it!
"After all, she is just a little girl. She doesn't dare to openly quarrel with me."

Seeing this, the Great Elder did not think about the deeper reasons behind this. He just thought that Lou Mingyue was too concerned and weak in heart, and a flash of contempt appeared in his eyes.

"In this case, I will take my leave."

The Great Elder waved his sleeves, gave the Fourth Elder, the Seventh Elder and others a look that said "temporarily safe", then he turned into a ray of yellow rainbow light and disappeared.

The remaining Tang Fengyi and Taoist Heilang looked at each other and chose to escape from the Jianhuo Palace instead of staying in the Jianhuo Palace.

Soon, all the cultivators on Tianquan Peak scattered like birds and beasts and returned to their own caves.

As Lou Mingyue's "tenant", Wei Tu naturally returned to Lou Mingyue's cave with Lou Mingyue.

However, this time there was one more person accompanying them, Gong Shulan.

After knowing that the white-browed old man, the "Lord of Huoyang Island", intended to attack Lou Mingyue, Wei Tu would not let Gong Shulan leave Jianhuo Palace alone.

"After I have dealt with the Lord of Huoyang Island and the Jianhuo Palace is safe, Fellow Daoist Gong will leave..."

Wei Tu waved his sleeves and set up a spiritual barrier. He did not keep Gong Shulan and Lou Mingyue in suspense and directly talked about the "incident" inside and outside the Jianhuo Palace.

"No wonder Senior Wen didn't let me take action against the Great Elder. It turns out there is this reason..."

"I didn't expect that the owner of Huoyang Island would actually appear in the world?"

Lou Mingyue's eyes revealed a look of relief, she was not a weak person, if Wei Tu had not stopped her this time, she would have taken the opportunity to completely clean up the Great Elder's faction and would never let the Great Elder leave easily.

"Master of Huoyang Island?"

Hearing this, Gong Shulan secretly said "No wonder" and regained confidence in her own abilities.

This defeat at the hands of Tang Fengyi, and the fact that she was almost killed by this woman, was a heavy blow to her self-confidence.

"This is the remains of the incarnation of Fairy Yingying Palace..."

Having said that, Lou Mingyue also took the opportunity to take out the reward that he had promised to Gong Shulan before the war.

——A spiritual item to replenish infants and the remains of a god.

The remains of this deity were placed in a coffin. When it was opened, it was still lifelike, almost as if it had just died, and full of spiritual energy as if it was new.

It’s just a pity that the most precious “Nascent Soul” was lost.

Wei Tu took a quick look at the remains of the deified being and then looked away.

There have been many gods who have died at his hands, so he doesn't care about the remains of gods.

"This time, Fellow Daoist Gong helped me a lot on the fighting stage. If you don't mind, I will give this pill and this jade slip to you."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu took out a white jade pill bottle and a green jade slip from his sleeve and handed them to Gong Shulan.

"Medicine? Jade slip?"

Seeing this scene, Gong Shulan was puzzled. She took the two items with her bare hands, and explored them with her spiritual sense. Her face suddenly showed a bit more excitement.

"No need to thank me too much."

Wei Tu shook his head slightly, indicating that Gong Shulan didn't need to say more.

He gave Gong Shulan a pill and a scroll, which were the "Infant-Boosting Pill" he had recently made and the "Spiritual Zhuang Secret Scripture" he had obtained in the Spiritual Zhuang Secret Palace.

These two treasures are not worth too much to him now.

Compared with the support that helped Luqiu Qingfeng break through to the God Transformation Realm, it is even more scarce.

However, one is a fellow Taoist and the other is a good friend.

The two cannot be compared.

Secondly, this was indeed his thank you gift to Gong Shulan. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that Gong Shulan had used all her strength to help him on the fighting stage this time.

Otherwise, when fighting against Taoist Black Wolf and Tang Fengyi, this woman would not have easily used the two quasi-divine puppets, and would have continued to fight to the death even when she saw that she was no match for them.

Wait until Wei Tu and Gong Shulan finish talking.

Lou Mingyue, who was standing aside, looked apologetic and a little embarrassed.

She looked apologetic because she really didn't know how she could repay Wei Tu's kindness.

She had already asked Wei Tu to repay her kindness with her own body, but unfortunately, she was rejected calmly.

The embarrassment came from the fact that she was sandwiched between Gong Shulan and Wei Tu. She felt like an outsider and had difficulty getting a word in.

This is clearly her cave.

Although Wei Tu had already noticed this, he didn't care about it. He nodded slightly, and after encouraging Lou Mingyue and Gong Shulan, he went back into the alchemy room and sealed himself in it.

At this moment, as the restriction of the alchemy room fell, Gong Shulan, who had a faint smile on her face, suddenly looked a little more lonely.

"I'm afraid the relationship between her and Senior Wen is more than just good friends?" Lou Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood that there was a past between Wei Tu and Gong Shulan that she didn't know about.

This discovery made her, an "outsider", feel relieved, but also more lost.

Even a female cultivator like Gong Shulan, who had an ethereal appearance and a high level of cultivation, found it difficult to get close to Wei Tu, let alone her.

……

After returning to the alchemy room.

After casually refining a few batches of pills to practice, Wei Tu took out the recipe for the "Yellow Ginseng Pill" and the spiritual herbs needed to refine the pill, and began to study it patiently.

The years are long.

Four years passed in a flash.

During these four years, Lou Mingyue, who defeated the Great Elder's faction and regained power, implemented the "old policy" and did not launch a large-scale purge in the Jianhuo Palace. Everything went on as usual.

However, what is surprising is that for unknown reasons, the markets, immortal cities, mines and other places under the jurisdiction of Jianhuo Palace have been in constant rebellion for the past four years.

Elders and priests had repeatedly asked Lou Mingyue to personally lead the army and quell the rebellion, but Lou Mingyue rejected the request every time because of his own shallow cultivation.

However, this did not arouse anyone's suspicion. After all, Lou Mingyue's realm problem has been going on for a long time.

If not for this, the power would not have been seized by the Great Elder's faction before the "Tianquan Competition".

However, seeing that it was not possible to invite Lou Mingyue to go out, some elders and priests hoped that Lou Mingyue would send two priests, Gong Shulan and Wei Fei, to go out and quell the rebellion.

Lou Mingyue still refused to agree to this.

The reason was very simple. The two great priests, Wei Fei and Gong Shulan, had received her rewards and were currently practicing in seclusion.

For a Nascent Soul cultivator to be in seclusion, more than ten years is considered short, so a mere four years would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

However, Lou Mingyue's successive rejections undoubtedly made the Jianhuo Palace's Grand Elder, who was scheming, very uncomfortable.

Lou Mingyue won't go out, and Gong Shulan and Wei Fei, the two quasi-god-transforming priests, won't go out either. How can he find an opportunity to put Lou Mingyue in danger and then seize the god-transforming resources from him?
"If it really doesn't work, I can just ask Senior Huoyang to come directly to my Jianhuo Palace and capture Lou Mingyue alive..."

The Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace became furious and, regardless of his own safety, made these suggestions to Tang Fengyi.

Although this matter was like trying to fish in troubled waters, he was certain that after capturing Lou Mingyue alive, the Lord of Huoyang Island would need something else from him - at least he would need him, an elder of Jianhuo Palace, to confuse Wei Tu and Master Lan to prevent them from becoming suspicious.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, he should have the chance to make a breakthrough to become a god.

"Capture Lou Mingyue alive?"

"Do you think my master doesn't have such thoughts?"

A cold light flashed across Tang Fengyi's beautiful eyes. She snorted coldly and spoke in a very dissatisfied tone.

To deal with a mere Lou Mingyue, let alone her master, the Lord of Huoyang Island, even she would have a certain degree of confidence.

No matter how many methods you have to transform into a god, without the corresponding strength, you are just a dead thing.

But... once Lou Mingyue was attacked in Jianhuo Palace, the commotion would be too great. Even if "Wen Tianqi" was a fool, he would not be so stupid as to jump into this trap.

"Wait a little longer. Be patient."

At this time, the voice of the white-browed old man came to Tang Fengyi's ears. His voice was still the same as before, quiet, calm, without any urgency.

Hearing this, Tang Fengyi suddenly felt more at ease.

"I have waited for thousands of years and don't mind waiting another hundred or two hundred years. As long as the goal is achieved, everything will be worth it." The white-browed old man said lightly.

"Yes, Master."

"Yes, Senior Huoyang."

Upon hearing this, Tang Fengyi and the Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace showed respect on their faces and bowed to the south.

"Senior Huoyang is worthy of being a senior. With such patience, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things."

When the sense of being watched disappeared, the Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace stood up, glanced at Tang Fengyi, and said meaningfully.

However, these words had just fallen.

A powerful divine pressure suddenly came from the outside world and pounced on the two of them.

"Senior Huoyang?" Upon seeing this, the Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace was slightly stunned, wondering why the white-browed old man had come back.

"Master?" Tang Fengyi was also confused. She didn't understand why the white-browed old man would show his domineering power at this moment.

“This is not the pressure from this old man!”

The white-browed old man's doubtful voice suddenly came into Tang Fengyi's mind.

"Moreover, this pressure seems to be from the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm? How could there be a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm in the Sword Fire Palace? This is impossible!"

This voice was in stark contrast to the calmness and composure of the white-browed old man just now, which made Tang Fengyi unable to help but be stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Oh no! It's Wen Tianqi!"

"He broke through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation."

The next moment, Tang Fengyi heard the voice of the white-browed old man again. Compared with the previous sentence, this one sounded more panicked and faintly fearful.

However, before she could ask the white-browed old man, she sensed that outside the cave of the chief elder of the Sword Fire Palace, a beautiful woman in palace dress, surrounded by puppets, had quietly arrived outside the cave and set up the "Little Sky Star Forbidden Spirit Formation" of the three heroes of the Qi family.
