I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

However, when Wei Tu returned to Jianhuo Palace, something happened that surprised Wei Tu - Gong Shulan actually dealt with Tang Fengyi and the Grand Elder of Jianhuo Palace, two powerful men of the same level, by herself.

Moreover, the injuries on his body were not serious, only the two quasi-god puppets were completely destroyed.

Lou Mingyue's performance was also very good. Although she did not experience the "tragic" battle like the one between him and Gong Shulan, she also used thundering means to eliminate all the followers of the Great Elder except the Great Elder in just half a day, bringing the Jianhuo Palace completely under her control.

"It will take quite some time for me to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. If possible, I hope that Fellow Daoist Gong will stay in our sect, and I will help my sister break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage..."

Half a day later, when Wei Tu, Gong Shulan and Lou Mingyue met again, Lou Mingyue, with her sleeves stained with blood, bowed to Gong Shulan in front of Wei Tu and said these words.

This statement has two meanings in total.

The first level is to support Gong Shulan in breaking through to the God Transformation stage.

The second level represents the Jianhuo Palace’s intention to recruit Gong Shulan.

After all, no sect or friend would be so kind as to waste a lot of resources to support an "outsider" to break through to the God Transformation Realm.

"This girl is really smart. No wonder King Lou Shi valued her so much when he was alive. He was willing to risk his life by breaking into the Secret Palace of Zombies to protect his granddaughter."

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes showed surprise, and he couldn't help but look at Lou Mingyue carefully, as if it was the first day he met this girl.

It is difficult for an ordinary cultivator to have the courage to help a quasi-god-transforming cultivator break through to the god-transforming realm.

Even if you have yourself, you have sufficient resources.

However, this woman's decision to help Gong Shulan break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm was a wise choice.

Whether it is for herself or for Jianhuo Palace.

——It is true that Jianhuo Palace is protected by him and Master Lan, but the protection they provide is only at the level of reputation intimidation. At most, it can ensure that Jianhuo Palace will not perish, but it is impossible to guarantee Lou Mingyue's safety at all times.

After this woman funded Gong Shulan, it was foreseeable that she would get a powerful quasi-god-level bodyguard in a short period of time. Ordinary villains would find it difficult to shake the extremely "weak" Jianhuo Palace at this time.

In the long run - if Gong Shulan succeeds in breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation realm by chance, she and Jianhuo Palace will have a "bodyguard" at the Spiritual Transformation realm.

Secondly, this is also a move to comfort An Gong Shu Lan!
It kills three birds with one stone!
When Lou Shiwang was alive, the Grand Elder of Jianhuo Palace had always taken good care of Lou Mingyue and never had any thoughts of rebellion, acting like a completely loyal minister.

The reason why he plotted to usurp the throne was because he saw that Lou Mingyue was "a child holding gold", strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Now, this woman couldn't guarantee whether Gong Shulan would have any ulterior motives after seeing Jianhuo Palace's weakness.

It’s easier to know a person’s face than his heart!
Moreover, compared to the Grand Elder of Jianhuo Palace, Gong Shulan has another advantage - she has a very good relationship with him, which avoids the problem of him holding her accountable after she attacks Lou Mingyue.

Therefore, if Lou Mingyue did not spend a huge price to recruit Gong Shulan, then for Gong Shulan, whether to attack Lou Mingyue and then seize the opportunity to break through to the God Transformation stage might really be a matter of one's own mind.

Not to mention Lou Mingyue who was unsure about such matters, even Wei Tu, an old friend of Gong Shulan who had known her for many years, found it difficult to understand Gong Shulan's thoughts.

After all, this girl was born into the demon sect and was a direct disciple of the Scorpio Patriarch.

……

After hearing this, Gong Shulan did not respond immediately. Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was measuring Lou Mingyue's sincerity in saying this, and also as if she was thinking about the issue of the restrictions on her freedom after becoming the "bodyguard" of Jianhuo Palace.

"What do you think, Brother Wen?"

Suddenly, Gong Shulan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and threw the question to Wei Tu, as if she was going to listen to Wei Tu's opinion.

"Me?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and roughly understood Gong Shulan's thoughts.

——His knowledge at the level of Spirit Transformation is limited. Although he is tempted by the conditions proposed by Lou Mingyue, he is also worried that if he stays in Jianhuo Palace for too long, he will encounter risks above the Spirit Transformation level.

As a powerful god who has killed several gods, he can undoubtedly provide this consulting help.

"The Sword Fire Palace is not a safe place. It is better to leave as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Wei Tu spoke truthfully.

As long as Chi Fengtai is not dealt with, not only the Jianhuo Palace, but even he will not be able to rest easy.

The Lord of Huoyang Island could think of this and come to Jianhuo Palace to wait for him. Master Qiye and his people might not have failed to think of this.

"Then... I'm sorry, Palace Master Lou."

After hearing this, Gong Shulan did not hesitate and immediately shook her head, rejecting Lou Mingyue's recruitment.

She did lack the opportunity to achieve spiritual enlightenment, but not to a large extent.

It can be seen from the human puppet in her hand that she had previously seized the resources of at least two quasi-god-level powerful men.

Now, with the addition of Tang Fengyi and the Great Elder of Jianhuo Palace, as well as the "Infant-Replenishing Pill" given by Wei Tu before, the "opportunity to achieve Divine Transformation" in hand is almost gathered. With a few more, he can try to break through to the Divine Transformation realm.

Therefore, there is really no need to stay in Jianhuo Palace and do things that only increase risks.

——Compared to dealing with the unknown Divine Transformation cultivators, it would be obviously easier for her to deal with the lone Quasi-Divine Transformation cultivators and snatch the resources from these people.

Seeing Gong Shulan's refusal, Lou Mingyue, who had been looking forward to it, couldn't help but freeze. She never expected that the "opportunity to become a god" that she treasured so much would be flatly rejected by Gong Shulan.

However, Gong Shulan's straightforward attitude also made her feel much more at ease. At least she didn't have to worry about Gong Shulan turning against her after Wei Tu left.

After that, Lou Mingyue never mentioned recruiting Gong Shulan again. After exchanging a few words with Wei Tu and Gong Shulan, she invited them to attend the celebration banquet for the Palace Master's lineage's great victory.

Wei Tu and Gong Shulan were the absolute main forces in this battle. They went to attend the celebration banquet and also helped Lou Mingyue to intimidate some villains and cultivators in the Jianhuo Palace who had rebellious intentions.

The two of them would not refuse such a small matter.

But after attending the celebration banquet.

The two did not return to Lou Mingyue's cave, but chose a new cave in Jianhuo Palace and temporarily moved in.

Wei Tu went to the cave of the great elder of Jianhuo Palace.

In the Jianhuo Palace, the cave with the most spiritual energy, apart from the Palace Master's cave where Lou Mingyue lives, is the cave of the Jianhuo Palace's grand elder.

……

After checking into the cave.

After regulating his breathing for a few days and clearing out all the remaining poison from the "Iron Poison Flying Ant" in his body, Wei Tu turned over his palm and took out the storage magic tool he had obtained from the white-browed old man, as well as the flaming red stone mirror and the "Iron Poison Flying Ant".

The iron-poison flying ant was trapped by his floating and heavy magic. After the death of the white-browed old man, it did not "die like an animal". Although the vitality in its body was greatly reduced, it was still full of energy.

Obviously, the white-browed old man's means of controlling this strange insect are not strong. After all, this insect is naturally immune to spiritual attacks. It is not easy to inject the "master dies, servant dies" soul imprint into its body.

However, this is a great bargain for Wei Tu.

As much as he feared this "Iron Poison Flying Ant" during the fight, he loved it as much at this moment.

He was also lucky and had all kinds of strange means at his disposal. Otherwise, if he met an ordinary god and used this insect to attack him secretly, he would probably be in trouble.

After temporarily placing the "Iron Poison Flying Ant" on the table in front of him, Wei Tu activated his magic power to wipe out the magic imprint of the white-browed old man in the storage magic tool, and prepared to check all his gains this time.

Half an hour later.

With a slight "click" sound, the magic imprint of the storage magic weapon was completely worn away, revealing a corner of the space inside.

Upon seeing this, Wei Tu was instantly overjoyed.

There is no other reason. The collection of the white-browed old man is in no way inferior to what he got from killing the God of Bliss decades ago.

Although he only had one fifth-grade spiritual medicine on him, it was the best among the mid-grade fifth-grade ones.

It is enough to refine several pills to help him improve his cultivation.

In addition, the number of spirit crystals on the white-browed old man is also considerable, as many as 110,000.

You know, even Master Tiegui, who is a god of the same level as the Sanxi League in the Southern Region, only has 40,000 spirit crystals on him, which is less than half of the white-browed old man.

However, Wei Tu could roughly guess the reason. Although the "reclusive gods" like the White-browed Old Man and the Seven-Leaf Master had disappeared from the Great Yan cultivation world, it did not mean that their influence had disappeared.

He just hid in a corner of the Dayan cultivation world in a safer way and practiced in seclusion.

The forces indirectly controlled by him might pay tribute to him every other year, just like "Shijiu Mountain" paid tribute to him before.

Otherwise, his disciple Tang Fengyi would not have become famous in the Great Yan cultivation world and become a prominent figure in the underworld.

In terms of Lingbao.

In addition to the green formation flag and the flaming red stone mirror that he saw during the battle, there was another item in the white-browed old man's storage of magical tools, which was a magic sword. However, the quality of this magic sword was not high, and it was also a inferior product among the lower-grade fifth-level items.

He estimated that this was most likely the treasure that the white-browed old man had obtained when he killed other gods, and then put it in his storage bag, where it had been gathering dust.

When it comes to elixirs, the old man with white eyebrows is also a pauper. Apart from some fourth-level elixirs, there is not a single fifth-level elixir.

I think this is also closely related to the scarcity of fifth-level alchemists in the Great Yan cultivation world.

In the profession of alchemist, a low-level alchemist can still perform the job concurrently, but to be a high-level alchemist, it is inevitable that talent is involved.

In addition, the Great Yan cultivation world is extremely poor in fifth-grade spiritual medicines, and it is difficult for those with average talent to spend a large amount of spiritual medicines to accumulate experience.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Compared with this, it is more convenient to swallow the elixir directly.

But in terms of spiritual materials, the old man with white eyebrows is much richer.

Some of the fifth-level spiritual materials on him were even unheard of by Wei Tu.

It's a pity that he is not an equipment refiner. Even if these fifth-level spiritual materials come into his hands, they are just like a wink to a blind man.

Unless he also practices cultivation equipment.

However, in the short term, when he has sufficient resources for cultivation, he will not have such plans.

After all, the two immortal arts of alchemy and talismans alone were enough to consume a lot of his energy.

Moreover, in terms of spiritual treasures, he was too rich at this moment.

In terms of skills and secret techniques.

There is nothing much to say about the old man with white eyebrows.

Only the dozens of jade slips used to raise spiritual insects were worth his attention.

"Iron Poison Flying Ants, Purple Demonic Scorpions, Broken Golden Centipedes..."

Wei Tu took out a jade slip that mentioned the types of spiritual insects, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and read it carefully.

Soon, he saw the "Colorful Fantasy Moth" he had raised before in the middle of these strange insect species.

This moth played a huge role in his foundation-building and golden elixir stages, but unfortunately when he reached the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages, due to the limitations of its own rank, its ability became less and less, and he eventually abandoned it. It was only handed over to Wei Yan and other descendants to raise as a spiritual insect passed down by the Wei family.

After reminiscing about the past years.

Wei Tu began to search for the secret technique used by the white-browed old man to control the "iron-poison flying ants" among dozens of insect-raising jade slips.

Fortunately, perhaps the white-browed old man regarded the Iron Poison Flying Ant as his trump card, so he wrote down his experience of raising and refining the Iron Poison Flying Ant on a jade slip, and in the jade slip, he also left a secret medicine refining method that would allow the Iron Poison Flying Ant to break through to become a fifth-grade top-quality spiritual insect.

This secret medicine was found by the old man with white eyebrows from an ancient prescription.

It’s a pity that this secret medicine is missing a spiritual material called “Jingling Sand”, which is why it is difficult to successfully refine this secret medicine.

The white-browed old man even wrote down in the jade slip that the "Jingling Sand" in the Great Yan cultivation world had become extinct, because he had searched every corner of the Great Yan cultivation world and had not found a single grain of "Jingling Sand".

However, this was not a problem for Wei Tu. He had seen the existence of "Jingling Sand" in the book of merits that Jiang Lingzi had given him to exchange for spiritual objects in the Human Ancestor Temple.

This spiritual object is not considered a rare thing in the spiritual world. Ten merit points from the Temple of the Ancestors of Mankind can be exchanged for one bucket.

In other words, once he ascends to the spiritual world, it will be easy for the Iron Poison Flying Ant to break through.

And with the tenacity of the "Iron Poison Flying Ant", this insect can completely withstand the spatial pressure in the space cracks of the Songshen Ridge, and ascend with him without any problem.

After reading these secret techniques of raising insects one by one.

Wei Tu did not hesitate and immediately took out a small bowl from his storage bag. With his fingertips pointing downward, he poured a bowl of blood into the small bowl. Then, he clasped his hands together and injected hundreds of spells into the bowl of blood.

That’s right! According to what the white-browed old man said, the iron-poison flying ants that are immune to spiritual and magical attacks must be refined using the most primitive “blood refining” method in the world of immortal cultivation.

There is no other choice.

Moreover, this blood refining method is also extremely complicated. If there is a slight mistake, although it will not cause the death of the iron-poison flying ant, it will also reduce the spirituality of the insect and greatly lose its potential.

A few days later, Wei Tu, who had finished entering the magic formula into the blood bowl, used the floating and heavy magic to immerse the iron-poisonous flying ants in the blood in the small bowl.

Under the control of the magic formula, the blood in these small bowls turned into wisps of blood mist the moment it came into contact with the poisonous flying ants, and seeped into the gaps between their mouthparts and armor.

After the blood mist seeped in, it condensed into tiny blood beads again, which automatically arranged themselves inside the insect armor and the body of the poisonous flying ant, turning into intricate blood runes.

These blood-colored runes were connected to each other, and in an instant, Wei Tu, who was standing nearby, sensed that he and the poisonous flying ant were in tune with each other.

Seeing this, he waved his sleeves and removed the "Floating and Heavy Dharma Intention" covering the iron-poisonous flying ants.

Sure enough, after being freed from the restraint of the Floating and Heavy Law, the poisonous flying ant did not attack him. Instead, it fluttered its wings very docilely and lay on his fingertips.

“Go!” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and urged his mind to let the poisonous flying ants attack the jade disk in front of him.

This jade disk is a third-rank magic weapon and is one of the few treasures in the cave of the Grand Elder of the Sword and Fire Palace.

However, under the impact of the poisonous flying ants, the jade disk instantly dimmed and shattered into pieces.

In addition, the surface of the jade disk was slightly black and was contaminated with a lot of toxins.

“With this insect here, any ordinary late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator would probably have difficulty escaping my ambush.” Wei Tu was slightly delighted and put the iron-poison flying ant into the spirit insect bag. He also fed the bag with some insect food stored by the white-browed old man.

He is different from the old man with white eyebrows.

If this guy wants to attack him secretly, he has to wait until he gets close to him - it is more of a self-defense method. But he is different. As a physical cultivator who practices both magic and body, he has the ability to fight in close combat. There is no need to lure other gods to get close to him. He can just attack directly in close combat!
After enjoying the sight of his prey, Wei Tu wasted no time and immediately reached out to grab the biggest gain in this battle besides the poisonous flying ants - the green formation flag.

This formation flag was one of the few fifth-grade top-quality spiritual treasures he had seen in the Great Yan cultivation world.

Moreover, this formation flag can also transform into a "blood python" or "blood dragon" and be used as a magical treasure for escaping, and can also be used in conjunction with the flaming red stone mirror...

It can be said to be fully functional.

“Thunder Snake Flag…” Wei Tu flipped the green flag for a while and saw these three small words on the flag.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, used the magic power in his palm to induce vomiting, wiped out the magic power imprint in the formation flag, and began to refine it seriously.

About half a month later.

He had completely refined the formation flag and was able to use it as easily as waving his arm.

This formation flag weapon is as its name suggests, it was refined by a weapon refiner using the fifth-grade top-grade thunder snake essence. As he saw, its functions are two in total.

The first method is to activate the spirit in the flag, combine it with the blood and essence of the flag owner, and perform the "Thunder Snake Escape Technique".

This escape method is a type of thunder escape technique, and it is incredibly fast, making it difficult for ordinary cultivators to catch up.

The second method is to mobilize the spirit in the flag to control thunder and launch an attack.

However, the white-browed old man did not have a suitable thunder weapon in his hand, so he only used the fifth-grade intermediate spiritual treasure, the flaming stone mirror, to activate the spiritual flame and let the thunder snake spirit control it.

This did not allow the full strength of the Thunder Snake's spirit to be fully exerted. Otherwise, with this strength of the Thunder Snake, let alone dealing with Wei Tu, who was in the "middle stage of the Spirit Transformation", it would be enough to deal with him even in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

However, at the moment, this "Thunder Snake Flag", combined with the spiritual flame of the Red Stone Mirror, is enough for Wei Tu to wield, and he can use it as a trump card.

The white-browed old man suffered a loss and died in battle at his hands, not because his colleague was weak, but because his strength, combined with the "incantation" magical power of the ghost soul, was too strong in front of all the gods in the Great Yan cultivation world!
Far beyond his current realm! (End of this chapter)
