I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

At this time, there was less than a year left until the black market auction on Xuanfeng Island.

With his vast spiritual sense alone, Wei Tu realized that compared to six years ago, there was a "mixed crowd" on Xuanfeng Island today, and the "quality" and "quantity" of high-level cultivators had greatly improved.

"Master Qiye is here too." The ghost soul reminded Wei Tu at the right time.

During the battle with Master Qiye, Master Qiye was hit by his "curse power". Although he escaped in time after the battle, he could escape the monk but not the temple. The corresponding soul mark had already been planted in his soul by him.

Therefore, the moment Master Qiye landed on the island, he could sense Master Qiye's arrival.

“Just for finding this cultivator, the few years we’ve spent on Xuanfeng Island won’t be wasted.” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked in the direction indicated by the ghost god’s soul.

After a while, he saw Master Qiye, whom he had "reunited after a long separation", in a purple gold pavilion adjacent to the Immortal Inn.

However, today, the old cultivator who had reached the state of transformation did not seem to come alone. There was also a bald-browed old man accompanying him.

This bald-browed old man seemed to be of a high level of attainment, and he was on equal terms with Master Qiye. The two of them sat at the same table, and he did not seem to be respectful when talking, but instead, a bit of pride appeared on his face from time to time.

But due to the long distance, Wei Tu, who was in the Immortal Inn, could not hear what the two were talking about.

However, just as Wei Tu was about to use "blood sensing" to spy on the realm of the bald-browed old man, he seemed to have hit a wall of restriction and was blocked one by one.

It was as if this person's body was not made of flesh and blood, but a forbidden formation that was highly defensive, as solid as a rock, and impenetrable to water.

This made Wei Tu exclaim in surprise.

Even though he had already known in the Ghostly Soul that "blood induction" was not an omnipotent sensing power, this was the first time he was frustrated with this power in the human world.

At this moment, the bald-browed old man in the Purple Gold Pavilion seemed to have sensed something. He frowned slightly, looked back, and then released the huge spiritual consciousness in his body to search the surroundings.

This divine sense quickly swept across the guest room of the Xian Inn where Wei Tu was staying, but it just passed by and did not stay for long.

The "Blood and Qi Supernatural Power" is a contactless sensing supernatural power that is not afraid of being detected by others. Therefore, even if Wei Tu fails to sense the realm of the bald-browed old man, he does not mind being discovered by this person.

"Brother Shilong? What happened? Why did you suddenly release your spiritual sense? If you do this in Xuanfeng Island, Island Master Ye will be dissatisfied."

Seeing this scene, Master Qiye frowned and asked in confusion.

"You and I are both gods, so why should we be afraid of that old man? It's ok to give him a little face on weekdays, but now he is not in Xuanfeng Island, so how can he have the chance to take care of such a small matter."

The bald-browed old man glanced at Master Qiye and spoke with disdain, but while speaking, he also retracted his scattered spiritual sense. It was obvious that he had a certain fear of this "Master Ye Island" mentioned by Master Qiye.

"As for my action just now...it must be my illusion." The bald-browed old man shook his head and did not say more about it. He narrowed his eyes and signaled Master Qiye to turn the page.

Upon seeing this, Master Qiye immediately understood and changed the subject to talk about other things.

Half an hour later.

Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man separated in the purple gold pavilion, disappeared in a flash, and went to live in different caves.

However, on the sixth day, Master Qiye and the old man with bald eyebrows suddenly left Xuanfeng Island one after another.

As if it had been discussed earlier.

If it was just an "illusion", just a reaction to being spied on by others...the actions of Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man were inevitably an overreaction.

Wei Tu had a hunch that there must be something wrong with these two people.

He thought for a moment, took a look at the "Iron Poison Flying Ants" in the spirit insect bag and the "Toad Water Yin Corpse" in the corpse bag, and his confidence immediately increased. He turned into a ray of light and flew out from the other side of Xuanfeng Island.

With the mark of Master Qiye's soul by the "Ghost God's Soul", after escaping from Xuanfeng Island, he easily found Master Qiye's specific location on the sea.

At this moment, he was on a deserted island, meeting with a bald-browed old man who had also left the island. The two of them were talking heatedly, far from being as peaceful as they were in the Purple Gold Pavilion a few days ago.

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu's heart moved.

This time, he acted bolder and directly used some incantations to activate the power of the "Hun'e Evil Pupil". The ghost transformed into a "Sky Ghost" and carefully lurked towards the location of Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man.

The aura of ghost cultivators is inherently hidden, not to mention that Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness has already reached the level of "late stage of transformation of the spirit", so his lurking this time did not directly alarm Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man.

Because the two men were talking passionately, they did not deliberately conceal the content of their conversation. So even though Wei Tu was more than ten miles away and could not hear what they were saying, he could still understand the important matters they were discussing by reading their lip reading.

"Brother Shilong, are you saying that Island Master Ye is planning to invite all his friends to explore Golden Flame Island together at this black market auction?"

"The Golden Flame Island is not a good place. An ancient demon is suppressed there. Just by sealing the leaked demonic energy, I don't know how many monsters have been transformed into demons over the years, and how many disasters have been caused on the sea..."

Master Qiye said with a look of fear on his face.

"Of course I know about this." The bald-browed old man snorted coldly and nodded, "... But it was because the Golden Flame Island suppressed the ancient demon that it tore open the space crack leading to the upper world... Do you know how old Island Master Ye is now?"

"He has already reached the age of 10,000 years. If he doesn't try to ascend to the spirit world, he won't be able to easily survive the next calamity at the end of his life with his realm!"

When he heard the words "end of life and heavenly tribulation", some fear flashed across Master Qiye's face.

When a cultivator reaches the Spirit Transformation Realm, he no longer has to worry about his lifespan. However, once he reaches the age of ten thousand, if he wants to extend his lifespan and avoid death from old age, he must go through the "end of life calamity" every five hundred years.

Although his age is still far from ten thousand years old, as long as he has no hope of ascending to heaven, he will sooner or later encounter this "death warrant".

Thinking of this, the figure of Wei Tu flashed through his mind. If he had not failed in his attempt to capture Wei Tu, he might have already broken through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm by now. Why would he have to come to the "Xuanfeng Island" with all the hardship and look for opportunities in the black market auction?

"Six days ago, I suspected that it was the old man, Island Master Ye, who deliberately used the forbidden formation in Xuanfeng Island to spy on you and me. That's why I brought you here to discuss important matters."

The bald-browed old man said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Since you are planning to ascend to heaven, instead of going through so much trouble to break into the Golden Flame Island... it would be better to directly capture Wen Tianqi and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl. These two have received guidance from Jiang Lingzi, so it should be more stable and safer." Master Qiye pondered for a moment and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you think that old fellow didn't have this idea? Let's not talk about the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl for now. She has already broken through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. Her strength is almost the same as ours. She is also protected by the sect protection formation of the Great Snow Mountain. It is difficult to attack her..."

"That Wen Tianqi claims to be a cultivator of the Taizhen Sect, but he comes and goes without a trace. It is not easy to locate him."

"Not long ago, news of the death of the owner of Huoyang Island spread from Huoyang Island. I heard from the disciples of the owner of Huoyang Island that the owner of Huoyang Island was off the island looking for Wen Tianqi when his soul tablet suddenly broke..."

"Among the four great hermits who have reached the state of becoming a god, only you, me and Island Master Ye are left."

The bald-browed old man looked indifferent and said with great fear.

Hearing this, Master Qiye, who had previously fled in a hurry under Wei Tu's command, felt a chill down his spine and nodded secretly.

"Wen Tianqi's" methods are mysterious and unpredictable, and he has experienced this personally.

He thought to himself - if he had not seen the danger and escaped in time a few years ago, he might have died at the hands of "Wen Tianqi" just like the Lord of Huoyang Island.

Hearing this, Wei Tu, who had been frowning upon hearing the name "Island Master Ye", couldn't help but relax a little and show a little more disdain on his face.

He thought that this "Master Ye Island" was some powerful figure. After all, a cultivator who could live to more than 10,000 years old, even a turtle, had become a spirit and was not someone that ordinary people could deal with.

Unexpectedly, his realm was also ordinary. After knowing that the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl had reached the "middle stage of transformation" and the Lord of Huoyang Island had passed away... he gave up the idea of ​​attacking the two of them.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Lord of Huoyang Island was one of the best masters among these "reclusive gods"?

That's right! There aren't many of these hermit gods. According to the bald-browed old man, they are known as the "Four Great Hermit Gods" along with Qiye Shangren, Ye Daozhu, and Huoyang Daozhu.

He had experienced Master Qiye's abilities, which were mediocre and basically on the same level as Master Lan.

That doesn't make sense. The combat power of the other two people far exceeds that of Master Qiye.

However, we cannot underestimate the bald-browed old man and Island Master Ye. Who knows if they have any trump cards similar to the "Iron Poison Flying Ants" of Island Master Huoyang.

——He was lucky and used the "Floating and Heavy Method" to restrain the poisonous flying ants, but if he encountered other killing moves that were comparable to them, he might not be so lucky.

After all, just looking at the "background" of Xuanfeng Island, you can tell that "Island Master Ye" is extremely wealthy.

“Haha! So if you want to deal with Wen Tianqi and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, you have to work together with you, me and Island Master Ye… But the chances of these two people to ascend to heaven are something you and I heard about from others, and it is something that has not been confirmed…”

"Compared to this, the danger of exploring Golden Flame Island will be greatly reduced." The bald-browed old man said in a heavy tone, with a hint of hope.

Master Qiye understood what the bald-browed old man meant.

Even if the "opportunity to ascend" of "Wen Tianqi" and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl is proven to be true, the three of them will not be able to work together. They will definitely have ulterior motives and plot secretly, because this opportunity is destined to be something that cannot be shared equally...

Compared to this, exploring the Golden Flame Island and finding an "ascension passage" leading to the upper realm has become a goal that can be achieved without causing internal strife.

However, if Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man knew that the "opportunity to ascend" they were seeking was the "ascension passage" that Jiang Lingzi told Wei Tu and Jincan Xuenu, which was a space crack in Sangshen Ridge leading to the spiritual world, what would they think?

So, one can imagine the strange look on Wei Tu’s face when he heard this.

But when he thought about it carefully, it was impossible for him to tell Master Qiye, the bald-browed old man and others about the "ascension passage" of the Songshen Ridge for no reason... The strange look in his eyes gradually faded away.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are too many intrigues and deceptions.

Except for truly close friends, secrets like these involving life and death are unlikely to be easily leaked to outsiders, and outsiders will not easily believe them.

Soon, the secret conversation between Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man came to an end. After the two carefully searched the vicinity and saw that there were no outsiders hiding, they fled together and returned to Xuanfeng Island.

After the two left, several days later, Wei Tu, who was hiding more than ten miles away, moved and rushed back to his guest room in the Xuanfeng Island Fairy Inn.

A few months later.

The black market auction is on schedule.

As a "good friend", Taoist Black Wolf knocked on Wei Tu's door as expected, reminding Wei Tu that it was time to attend the auction.

However, after that, Taoist Black Wolf did not travel with Wei Tu, but left the Immortal Inn one after another with Wei Tu.

The purpose of doing this is to prevent the disguised identity from being known to another person. Then, after attending the black market auction, he left the island and encountered "robbers".

However, what made Wei Tu laugh was that in order to prevent his identity from being seen through, the Black Wolf Taoist who entered the black market auction was already wearing women's clothes and putting on makeup.

If he did not have a pair of spiritual eyes that could see through the air, he would probably have been fooled by the Black Wolf Taoist's makeup and mistakenly thought that this cultivator was really a graceful female cultivator.

This move... although "humiliating", it must be mentioned that it is indeed a good way to hide one's identity.

After taking his seat at the auction, he had seen monks dressed as women or men more than once.

It's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

"Fourth brother is here too?"

Not long after, Wei Tu saw a familiar person sitting in the seat of Quasi-God at the auction.

His eyebrows slightly raised, with a look of slight surprise, but then he remembered the high standards of the black market auction on Xuanfeng Island, and he was not surprised at all.

This person was none other than Fu Zhizhou, with whom he had not been seen for more than a hundred years since they parted ways in the Southern Region.

Compared to more than a hundred years ago, Fu Zhizhou's aura is now deeper, and the pure demonic energy in his body is even more powerful, with an aura that is approaching the first level of spiritual transformation.

This is normal. After all, the demonic energy he instilled into Fu Zhizhou was the demonic energy of Lianxu Ancient Demon Bangchen.

If he had this good fortune but couldn't even reach this realm, it would definitely be an insult to the ancient demon Bangchen.

However, at this moment, there were many people at the black market auction, and it was not convenient for him to recognize Fu Zhizhou. His eyes stayed on Fu Zhizhou for a while, and then moved away.

About three hours later, many monks entered the auction ceremony one after another.

Among them, Nascent Soul cultivators are the largest, with roughly three to four hundred of them. Quasi-God-Transformation cultivators are relatively rare, but there are also more than twenty of them.

As for the Divine Transformation cultivator that Wei Tu was concerned about...

In addition to Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man, two more incarnation cultivators walked in one after another.

One of these two incarnation cultivators was a blind Taoist priest from Shijiu Mountain in the Western Regions. Although Wei Tu had never seen the other person before, he knew that this person should be the famous incarnation cultivator from the Eastern Region - "Mao Wenhan".

Half a day later, until the three bells rang indicating the start of the auction, Wei Tu did not see the two people he hoped to see, "Lüqiu Qingfeng" and "Chi Fengtai", at the auction.

This made him feel quite disappointed.

However, soon, as each item was displayed on the auction table, his mood calmed down due to the fierce bidding from the cultivators below the stage.

"The next item to be auctioned is the Ice Mist Fruit."

"This fruit is produced in the Purple Mist Secret Realm of the Eastern Region. It takes a thousand years for two fruits to be produced. The medicinal power inside it has the effect of purifying the foundation of cultivators' cultivation, which is of great benefit to cultivators like us in breaking through the Spiritual Transformation Realm... The base price of this fruit is one thousand spirit crystals, and each increase in price is no less than two hundred spirit crystals!"

After the auctioneer's tempting words came out, all the quasi-god-transforming monks present became excited.

After the jade hammer fell, everyone started raising their bids one after another.

Soon, the price of this "Ice Mist Fruit" was raised to "two thousand eight hundred" spirit crystals.

The Black Wolf Taoist who sold the "Bloodline Magic" was undoubtedly the wealthiest person among the quasi-god-transforming monks present.

He started a fierce bidding with the few two quasi-gods present.

However, just when Taoist Black Wolf raised the price of the fruit to "four thousand seven hundred spirit crystals" and felt that it was safe, he heard a male cultivator's voice with a vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded in the corner of the stage.

"Five thousand nine hundred spirit crystals!"

It was Gong Shulan who spoke!
This woman was different from the Black Wolf Taoist who was "dressed as a woman". She wore a black robe and disguised herself as a hunchbacked old man.

Immediately, the smile on Taoist Black Wolf's face froze. He had to put down the price tag in his hand, sat on the rosewood chair with a slightly lonely look, and said nothing.

In the second half of the auction, when a spiritual object called "Demon Marrow Crystal" was being auctioned, Fu Zhizhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised the bidding card and started bidding for the item.

There were only a few people who wanted this spiritual object, so Fu Zhizhou easily won the bid without much effort.

Then, it was time for the auction of the finale.

There are a total of nine items as the finale of this black market auction.

The first thing that appeared was the "fifth-level demon pill" that Wei Tu saw on the list of spiritual objects.

"This demon pill was only at the early fifth stage at first. Under the careful cultivation of a Divine Transformation Master, it took hundreds of years for it to finally grow to the middle fifth stage..."

“Of course, compared to a true fifth-stage intermediate demon pill, this demon pill is slightly lacking, but it is also a rare item.”

The auctioneer introduced.

This fifth-stage intermediate demon pill caught Wei Tu's attention.

There is no other reason. This demon pill is a cold-attributed demon pill, which just matches the properties of "Toad Water Yin Corpse". If this pill is used as a spiritual material for nurturing corpses, the path of "Toad Water Yin Corpse" to break through will be much easier.

However, he had not forgotten his current status as a "quasi-god", so he did not rush to bid, but waited patiently for the reactions of the gods present. (End of this chapter)
