I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

“Although it is dangerous to break through in the Dingmo Cave, I can rely on the geographical advantages to a certain extent to survive the tribulation here.”

Wei Tu thought about it and understood Gong Shulan's idea.

Although the Qibingtai in the Dingmo Cave could not protect Gong Shulan as well as the defensive magic treasure, it was not difficult to weaken some of the power of the blood-colored thunder.

And this is the chance for demon cultivators like Gong Shulan to survive the bloody thunder.

……

A month later.

The divine calamity that covered an area of ​​dozens of miles slowly dissipated, and sunlight once again filled the sky.

The nine blood-colored thunders had ended. Wei Tu, who was on the outskirts of Golden Flame Island, took the opportunity of the thunders striking into the Dingmo Cave to sense Gong Shulan's weak but still lingering vitality inside the Dingmo Cave.

"It should be safe." Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether out of friendship or investment mentality, he did not want Gong Shulan to die at this time.

"My concubine greets His Majesty Wei." Several months later, Gong Shulan escaped from Golden Flame Island and bowed with joy to Wei Tu, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air.

At this time, Wei Tu was still wandering around the outskirts of Jinyan Island. It was not difficult for her to see that Wei Tu was protecting her and preventing her from being disturbed or taken advantage of by passers-by.

"Fairy Gong, there is no need to be so polite. Now that you and I are at the same realm, you can just call me fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Tu waved his hand, signaling Gong Shulan to change her address.

Gong Shulan would not force it, and immediately changed her address to Wei Tu from "Venerable Wei" to the more familiar "Friend Wei".

Next, Wei Tu asked about Gong Shulan's recent plans. In his search for Chi Fengtai, he would need the help of one or two like-minded friends.

"Sister Mingyue and I have become sworn sisters. I didn't want to stay in Jianhuo Palace before because I was worried that my strength was low and I might get into trouble. Now that I have reached the state of transformation, I can help Sister Mingyue stay in Jianhuo Palace and support her to break through the state of transformation."

Gong Shulan thought for a moment and then talked about her future plans.

"Friend Wei, there is something you need my help with. Given our relationship, you can ask for my help." Gong Shulan said again. She was very smart and had seen some of Wei Tu's inner thoughts.

Hearing this, Wei Tu did not hesitate. He considered his words for a while and told them that Chi Fengtai had spread rumors and "provoked" the master of Huoyang Island, Master Qiye and other hermits to hunt him down.

"Now, although Master Qiye and the Lord of Huoyang Island are dead, I will not be at peace in Dayan until this woman is eliminated."

he said.

“So that’s how it is…” Gong Shulan was relieved after hearing this. She understood the reason why the Lord of Huoyang Island had ambushed near Jianhuo Palace before. She immediately said, “When I return to Jianhuo Palace, I will discuss with Sister Mingyue to search for this woman and hunt her down!”

She wasn't just saying this for show, she really wanted to take this matter seriously.

Otherwise, she would find it difficult to repay Wei Tu for his support, rescue and protection along the way.

"Thank you, Fairy Gong."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and bowed to express his gratitude.

Now, in the Eastern Region of Great Yan, there is the Feixian League he founded to inquire about the news, in the Northern Region, there is the Great Snow Mountain as an ally to help, in the Southern and Western Regions, there are the blind Taoist priests watching, in the Central Region, there is Gong Shulan and the Jianhuo Palace working for him… All five regions of Great Yan have his help, and the day of getting rid of Chi Fengtai is not far away.

……

After leaving Golden Flame Island and flying to the coast of the Eastern Region, Wei Tu no longer traveled with Gong Shulan and said goodbye.

Not long after, he found the secret code left by Luqiu Qingfeng again in a nearby market.

This code was left a year ago.

There are two main points in the content.

1. Luqiu Qingfeng told Wei Tu that she had already found out some information about Chi Fengtai, the mastermind behind the incident, and she was leaving now to seek evidence. Regardless of success or failure, she would meet Wei Tu in Xuanyan Market in thirty years.

The second was Luqiu Qingfeng's confusion about the "accident" at the black market auction on Xuanfeng Island. She was delayed by other things and was unable to go to the black market auction in time. When she arrived at Xuanfeng Island, she learned that Island Master Ye had taken all the cultivators and disappeared.

Seeing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but sigh that Luqiu Qingfeng was lucky. If she had participated in the black market auction on Xuanfeng Island in time, Island Master Ye would probably have canceled the trip to Jinyan Island and instead planned to seize the "half-true spirit" bloodline in Luqiu Qingfeng.

Compared with the danger of ascending to the ancient demon world, it is undoubtedly safer for Island Master Ye to seize Luqiu Qingfeng's half-true spiritual bloodline, and then break through the late stage of transformation, break through the boundary and ascend to the spiritual world.

However, this coincidence also led to him and Luqiu Qingfeng missing each other and failing to meet in time in the Eastern Region.

After erasing Lüqiu Qingfeng's secret code and leaving his recent experiences and the founding of the Feixian League, Wei Tu did not stay here for long. He waved his sleeves and flew away quickly.

half year later.

Wei Tu used the inter-domain teleportation array of the Great Yan Cultivation Realm and traveled thousands of miles to the Great Snow Mountain in the Northern Territory.

This time, his purpose of coming to the Great Snow Mountain was very simple, which was to let the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl protect him and support each other - so that he could break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation as much as possible before the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace was opened.

Although a retreat place like Jianhuo Palace is fine, he will always feel uneasy without the help of the powerful Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

Although three of the four great hermits who had attained the state of spiritual enlightenment had passed away, the depth of the world was still deep, and he must not underestimate it.

"A few years ago, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl said in a letter that she would make every effort to break through to the late stage of the Spiritualization within the next hundred years. I wonder if she has already done so now?"

Wei Tu thought silently as he flew away.

Compared to him who still needed to refine elixirs and use mid-grade spirit crystals to break through the realm, it was much easier for the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl to break through the realm using the "cultivation" she got from Jiang Lingzi.

It was said to take a hundred years, but according to his guess, it would take at most thirty years to accomplish the task.

Not long after, according to his memory, he flew to an uninhabited cliff in the northern region and slowly landed.

"This is it."

He narrowed his eyes, walked towards a crooked tree standing on the cliff, and pressed a few times at the roots.

After hearing a few "crack" sounds, a hole that was only big enough for one person to pass through appeared under a rock about ten feet away from the crooked tree.

He walked into the cave and saw a teleportation formation inside that was flashing with light and emitting spatial fluctuations.

This formation was the secret teleportation formation leading to the Great Snow Mountain that the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl had told him about.

——After knowing that there was a God of Transformation coveting the power outside, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl listened to his advice and activated the sect protection formation with all her strength, making the Great Snow Mountain closed to the public.

Only this secret teleportation array controlled by successive snow maidens can allow people to enter and exit the Great Snow Mountain during the mountain closure period.

"Meet Senior Wen."

After the transmission was completed, as soon as Wei Tu landed, he saw a familiar person in front of him.

This woman is none other than Lin Xuaner, the disciple of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

One hundred years ago, when he anonymously followed Qi Yaoxian to the Great Snow Mountain and discussed the alliance of the three sects with the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, this woman was the one that the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl valued and was a suitable match for him as a marriage candidate.

However, after he designed a plan to trap Tianmei Xuenu, the matter was left unresolved.

"Where is your master?"

Wei Tu nodded slightly and spoke gently.

"Master is in seclusion and there has been no news from him for more than ten years." Lin Xuan'er hesitated for a moment and replied.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl's seclusion was a secret of the Great Snow Mountain. In the entire sect, no one knew about it except her and her master.

But... thinking about the relationship between Wei Tu and her master and grandmaster, she thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

However, just as she finished speaking, she saw that her master, who had not come out of seclusion for more than ten years and had never left her a word, suddenly came to her side and bowed to Wei Tuying in front of him.

At this moment, she felt a little jealous.

It is obvious that before Wei Tu's future, she was the closest person to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

"Congratulations, Miss Shui. In another ten years or so, you should be able to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation." Wei Tu sensed the spiritual pressure of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl approaching the late stage of the Spirit Transformation. He smiled slightly and bowed to congratulate her.

"This is all thanks to the kindness of Senior Jiang Lingzi, not my own efforts." The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl shook her head. She was not too proud, but rather very humble.

She accepted Jiang Lingzi's gift, and in return, she also accepted the "cause and effect" of Jiang Lingzi's use of humans as elixir.

Therefore, even if she ascended to the spiritual world with Wei Tu, she was destined to be lost among the crowd because of her "degraded" foundation.

On the contrary, although Wei Tu is not as advanced as her now, he will surely stand out among all the cultivators when he ascends to the spiritual world.

But she will not regret it. It is better than having no chance of ascension and living in oblivion in the human world for the rest of her life.

There are many opportunities in the spiritual world, and there are many elixirs that can revive the dead, not to mention purifying the foundation.

"I came here this time to find a place for retreat, and I hope Miss Shui can help me." After a brief greeting, Wei Tu stated his purpose.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl would not refuse such a request. She even hoped that Wei Tu would stay with her longer so that she could leave some goodwill with him.

"Xuan'er, your master still needs to go into seclusion, and you will need to take good care of Uncle Wen." After the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl selected a cave next to her own for Wei Tu, she instructed Lin Xuan'er.

Lin Xuan'er is her only disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be the next Snow Girl after her.

Letting Lin Xuan'er serve Wei Tu would also provide more convenience to Wei Tu.

However, as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Forget it. You are busy with sect affairs, so let Elder Li take care of your Uncle Wen."

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl changed her words in time.

"Yes, Master." Lin Xuan'er didn't think too much about it. She nodded and agreed.

……

The Master Li mentioned by the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl was an old woman of Nascent Soul stage from the Great Snow Mountain. After directing the disciples in the sect to help Wei Tu set up the corresponding formations in the cave, she bowed and left the cave.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu was not in a hurry to retreat, but first slapped the spirit beast bag and summoned the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

Five or six years passed, and after the Sky-Splitting Eagle merged with the blood of the True Spirit, the second head that was born became more and more formed.

The demon pill has already begun to condense.

"The legendary nine-headed bird has nine lives. Although the second head of the Sky-Splitting Eagle does not give it an extra life, it does give it an extra demon pill... It will greatly improve its aptitude, potential, and magic power."

Wei Tu's eyes narrowed slightly. He thought for a moment, a trace of pain flashed across his face. He took out a middle-grade spirit crystal from the storage bag, made a hand gesture, and injected the middle-grade spirit crystal into the second head of the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

Medium-grade spirit crystals are extremely rare treasures for cultivators at the level of refining emptiness.

If other cultivators knew that he gave up a middle-grade spirit crystal to the Sky-Splitting Eagle, a monster that had not yet broken through to the fifth level, they would be heartbroken and scold him for wasting it.

However, the Sky-Splitting Eagle does have some feelings for him, and the eagle's space escape technique is also of great help to him. If the eagle can use this to "transform into a god", it will be of great benefit to him.

After all, in the spiritual world, fifth-level monsters that possess the ability to escape into space are extremely rare and priceless.

“Whether you succeed or not depends on your luck. If you fail, you will go to Yan'er and become the guardian beast of my clan.” Wei Tu touched the head of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, sighed, and said.

This middle-grade spirit crystal was not only his biggest investment in the Sky-Splitting Eagle, but also his last investment in the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

"Crikey." The Sky-Splitting Eagle nodded with a slightly gloomy expression. Having followed Wei Tu till now, its intelligence was already quite high and it knew what Wei Tu meant.

It was willing to follow Wei Yan, but compared to the small corner of the Wei family, it would rather follow Wei Tu and live freely in the wider world.

After waving his hand and letting the Sky-Splitting Eagle enter the spirit beast room to refine the medium-grade spirit crystals in its body, Wei Tu took a deep breath and took out two white jade pill bottles from his arms.

The two pill bottles contained the two "Ningxiao Pills" and one "Dingyu Pill" that he had obtained from Master Qiye and the bald-browed old man.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

During this period, there were not many changes in the outside world, but at a fixed time every year, Elder Li would take the "letter" from Lin Xuan'er and deliver it to Weitu Cave Mansion.

These "letters" were all delivered to Wei Tu by the cultivators of the Feixian League. One was used to communicate intelligence, and the other was to inform Wei Tu of the progress of the hunt for Chi Fengtai.

Of course, these letters could not be delivered directly to the Great Snow Mountain. Instead, Lin Xuan'er would go to the outside world to get them every year according to Wei Tu's instructions, and then ask Elder Li to deliver them.

It was a pity that Chi Fengtai was too good at hiding his tracks, and seemed to have realized that he was being hunted. Whenever his tracks were exposed, he would immediately flee and disappear without a trace.

The letter also mentioned that when the Feixian League was secretly hunting down Chi Fengtai, they accidentally encountered a female demon cultivator with green wings on her back and an extremely beautiful appearance. This person seemed to be also hunting down Chi Fengtai.

Mao Wenhan said frankly that after he met this female cultivator from the demon clan, he intuitively felt that although this woman's cultivation was weaker than his, in terms of strength, she was not inferior to him.

Wei Tu didn't need to guess, he knew that this female cultivator from the demon clan was Luqiu Qingfeng, whom he had not seen for a long time.

However, he did not make his relationship with Luqiu Qingfeng public, but concealed it, and sent a letter asking Mao Wenhan and Luqiu Qingfeng to try their best to join forces to hunt down Chi Fengtai.

And in the meantime...

Twenty years later, with the help of three magical pills, Wei Tu finally reached the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. (End of this chapter)
