I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"It's just 260,000 spirit crystals... it's too much. Even if I take out all my wealth, it still won't be enough. I hope Brother Wen can understand."

The blind Taoist smiled bitterly and said.

If possible, he didn't want to offend Wei Tu, the evil star, for a few spirit crystals, but unfortunately, he really couldn't take out such a huge number of spirit crystals at once.

In the past two hundred years, Shijiu Mountain has occupied two regions, and its income has increased a lot compared to the past, but correspondingly, its expenditure has also increased a lot... Just his realm breakthrough cost him more than 80,000 spirit crystals, not to mention that a considerable part of the spirit crystals was used to reward disciples and recruit new followers.

Therefore, all in all, the spiritual crystals he had on him, plus the spiritual crystals in the Shijiu Mountain treasury, only totaled 170,000 or 180,000, far less than the 260,000 that Wei Tu asked for.

But when he saw that Wei Tu was still calm and just drinking tea, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He quickly said, "Of course, this is just the number of spiritual crystals. If you add the other spiritual objects and treasures on the old Taoist, after the discount, it should be able to be 260,000 spiritual crystals."

Lingjing, you can earn more.

Lingbao can be refined again.

But if he provoked Wei Tu, the blind Taoist thought to himself that his small body would not be enough for Wei Tu to destroy him - although he had never seen the death of Master Qiye, he could tell from Mao Wenhan's fear of Wei Tu.

After he finished speaking, he untied the storage bag from his waist with a look of pain on his face, wiped off his magic power imprint, and handed it to Ni Shihuang who was standing beside Wei Tu.

"You also need to give up your debts! All cultivators in the sect who are at the Nascent Soul stage and above, must take out all their assets. This is what our sect owes to Fellow Daoist Wen, and you cannot deny your debt!" The blind Taoist looked at the group of Shijiu Mountain cultivators in the hall with a righteous look.

"Yes, ancestor." After hearing this, the cultivators were startled and did not dare to hesitate. They took off their storage magic tools and placed them one by one on the table in the hall.

Soon, the storage tools on the table were filled to the brim and piled up like a mountain.

But after seeing this scene, Wei Tu did not feel any pity.

How could a high-level cultivator like him only have one storage magic tool? With a casual sweep of his spiritual sense, he could see that the blind Taoist and the Yuanying cultivators from Shijiu Mountain only handed over their most peripheral and commonly used storage magic tools. As for the real core treasures, they were all hidden in another storage magic tool.

"The quantity is probably enough."

"The previous debts were written off."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed with golden light. After glancing at the storage tools on the table, he pondered for a moment and nodded.

In terms of the number of spirit crystals, there are only 140,000 in these storage instruments. But with the blind Taoist's low-grade spiritual treasure, as well as the fourth-grade instruments, various spiritual medicines, and rare spiritual materials of a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, it is enough to equal 120,000 spirit crystals.

After saying this, he swept his sleeves, collected all the storage instruments, and then immediately disappeared in a flash of light, transforming into a streak of green rainbow, and left with Ni Shihuang and Luqiu Qingfeng, without staying any longer at the former site of Taizhen Sect.

Watching the quasi-fourth-order flying boat outside the sect that looked like a tower ship, humming all the way north - the group of Shijiu Mountain Yuanying in the hall suddenly looked unhappy and sighed.

This time, Wei Tu took away a layer of their property. Although it did not make them penniless, it was close. Hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation were lost in one day.

"This is only a debt of two hundred years. If he comes back in the next hundred or two hundred years and sells Shijiu Mountain, you and I won't be able to pay it back..."

Some elders of Shijiu Mountain complained in low voices, expressing great dissatisfaction with the "custody regulations" that Lai Yingsong had promised to Weitu.

If not, how could Wei Tu settle the account today with such confidence, leaving them no chance to quibble?

Even if the matter got out of hand and spread out, the various sects in the Great Yan cultivation world would only laugh at them instead of thinking that there was anything wrong with Wei Tu's collection of the debt this time.

"No need to blame Yingsong."

The blind Taoist snorted coldly, directly interrupting the discontent of the Yuanying cultivators present, "Who could have thought that what happened back then would lead to the outcome today? Yingsong's decision back then was correct. It's this... Wen Tianqi, who rose too fast."

More than two hundred years ago, although Wei Tu was strong and had gained a reputation in the war between the two clans, in terms of realm, he was only at the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm, far from being something he needed to be wary of...

As long as he can digest the benefits of annexing the Southern Territory as quickly as possible and advance to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, this worry will be resolved.

Even if his breakthrough speed is a little slow, with the reclusive masters like Qiye Shangren eyeing Wei Tu covetously, he can sit back and watch Wei Tu be defeated and killed.

No matter how you look at it, Shijiu Mountain will not lose.

But it's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of man.

No matter how cunning Lai Yingsong and he were, they could not have imagined that Wei Tu not only withstood the "ambush" of the two great hermit gods, Master Qiye and the Lord of Huoyang Island, but also successfully fought back.

"It's just that this southern region..."

"Master, how about we give up?"

Lai Yingsong was deeply moved when he heard the blind Taoist's words of defense, but after hesitating for a moment, he still made this suggestion that would bring shame to the blind Taoist and Shijiu Mountain.

There is no other reason. Just as the elder said, in the next hundred years or the next two hundred years, if Wei Tu comes to collect the debt again, no matter how rich Shijiu Mountain is, it will not be able to withstand the turmoil.

In a word.

Being controlled by others is never a good thing.

"Don't worry! In the next hundred years, the next two hundred years... Wen Tianqi won't come again."

The blind Taoist looked at the flying boat sailing away, sighed softly, and said with a desolate look on his face.

"What? Not again?"

After the words fell, Lai Yingsong and the others were slightly delighted. When they were surprised why the blind Taoist came to such a conclusion, their minds suddenly changed and they thought of a possibility.

"He...he is going to ascend?"

Lai Yingsong was stunned and looked incredulous.

As early as a hundred years ago, Wei Tu's realm was already high enough to be regarded as a master in the Great Yan cultivation world. One or two hundred years later, it is impossible for him to be killed or fall. The only explanation is that he is no longer in this human world, but has ascended to the spiritual world.

This also explains why, after seeing the Wei map, the blind Taoist master did not even dare to bargain, but decisively gave up his own property to get rid of this "plague god".

There is no other reason. Throughout the ages, all cultivators who have been able to reach the state of ascension are in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Of course, the blind Taoist would not dare to provoke a strong man of this level easily.

Thinking of this, Lai Yingsong and other monks from Shijiu Mountain suddenly felt their resentment towards Wei Tu disappear. Instead, they were very grateful, thinking that Wei Tu had let them go.

Otherwise, if they harbor evil thoughts, there will be rivers of blood and mountains of bones all over Shijiu Mountain.

……

Coming out from the southern region of Dayan.

A few months later, Wei Tu, Ni Shihuang and Luqiu Qingfeng arrived in the central region of Dayan.

So far, Wei Tu also stayed here twice, visiting the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jianhuo Palace respectively.

However, when he arrived at these two great sects of the God of Transformation, he did not go to collect debts, but instead told the two great God of Transformation, Master Lan and Gong Shulan, the news of his ascension.

In addition, he also told the two of them the route map in and out of "Sangshen Ridge" that he got from Jiang Lingzi without hiding anything.

This was the backup plan he had prepared to ascend and leave the human world.

It was not difficult for him to guess what kind of turmoil and changes would happen in the Great Yan cultivation world once he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, two late-stage spirit transformation masters, ascended to the spiritual world.

——It was still okay that he had no relatives in the Great Yan cultivation world, but the Great Snow Mountain would inevitably be coveted and coveted by all the major gods of transformation cultivators.

It's nothing else. The "opportunity of ascension" passed from Jiang Lingzi to the two ascended monks, which Jindan monk would not be extremely greedy and want to get a piece of the pie?

Therefore - it is better to tell others about this "chance of ascension" and "mystery of ascension" as soon as possible. It will be good for everyone and can also be a preventive measure to avoid the situation of "relatives and friends becoming enemies".

"I already know what Fellow Daoist Wen is thinking. After Fellow Daoist Wen and Fellow Daoist Jincan ascend to heaven, I will definitely join forces with the Sword and Fire Palace to protect the Dao veins of the Great Snow Mountain..."

Master Lan swore an oath and made a promise in person.

As for the "human puppet fairy" of Jianhuo Palace - Gong Shulan, although this woman did not swear to Wei Tu, Wei Tu trusted her more than Master Lan. After all, he and this woman had experienced life and death several times and was familiar with her character.

The rest of the time.

Wei Tu also met with Fu Linglong and Fu Dalu, brother and sister, at the Holy Buddha Temple, as well as Lou Mingyue, the Palace Master of Jianhuo Palace, and gave each of them some guidance.

Although he is still in the Spirit Transformation realm as he has inherited the legacy of Fairy Xuanling, his horizons have been elevated to the Refinement and even Fusion realms. With this high vantage point, it is no problem for him to give some pointers to these three Nascent Soul cultivators.

The three of them each had their own insights. Although their realms had not advanced greatly, they had each found an opportunity for a breakthrough. When the time was right, they would be able to bear fruit.

The journey to the Central Region ends here.

Two months later, Wei Tu arrived at the Great Snow Mountain in the Northern Region again.

After more than 20 years, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl who had been traveling outside had already returned to the Great Snow Mountain, and based on the intelligence system of the Great Snow Mountain, she also knew about Wei Tu's whereabouts along the way.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Wei Tu's flying boat had arrived at the Great Snow Mountain, a hint of joy instantly appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to go out to greet them.

However, when she saw the fairy-like appearance of Luqiu Qingfeng, who was in an intimate state with Wei Tu, her joy was immediately restrained and became a little indifferent.

But soon, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl was also relieved.

There was nothing between her and Wei Tu. It was just Jiang Lingzi's "matching" that caused a ripple in her heart, which had been silent for many years. The relationship between them... was just that of fellow Taoists who had fought side by side and got along well with each other.

Furthermore, it would be strange for a cultivator like Wei Tu, who had practiced for thousands of years, to not have a concubine to accompany him or a Taoist partner.

If it weren't for the fact that the skills she practiced required her to preserve her virginity, she would probably have given birth to a child early like Tianmei Xuenu and would no longer have had a pure body.

After introducing each other a sentence or two.

Wei Tu did not avoid Ni Shihuang and Luqiu Qingfeng, and discussed the specific time of ascension with the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

"Mr. Wei... has he reached the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation?"

Upon hearing this, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl could not help but be surprised. She looked at Wei Tu carefully with her beautiful eyes for a while, and was shocked to see that Wei Tu indeed exuded the aura of a late stage of Spirit Transformation.

You know, she also refined the cultivation that Jiang Lingzi gave her before he left. That's why she broke through one realm after another in just a few hundred years and reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

As for Wei Tu...because of the purification of his foundation, it is impossible for him to improve his cultivation as fast as hers.

According to her estimation, it would take Wei Tu at least six or seven hundred years to reach the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

But now, there is no doubt that Wei Tu is only a hundred years behind her and has reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation.

“With this kind of talent, I’m afraid that even in the spiritual world, he will be favored by others and have many romantic relationships.” The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl secretly glanced at Luqiu Qingfeng and suddenly felt much more relieved.

"Since Mr. Wei has made all the preparations, after I hand over the mundane affairs of the Great Snow Mountain to the monks in the sect, we will choose an opportunity to ascend to the spiritual world together... If Mr. Wei is not in a hurry, it can be completed in about ten years."

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl thought for a while and gave an answer.

"Ten years?" Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded and agreed with this time.

"Then ten years later, you and I will pass through the Soul-Snatching Ridge together and ascend to the spiritual world," he said.

"Ten years..."

Hearing this, Luqiu Qingfeng, who was standing nearby, was slightly startled, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Wei Tu naturally noticed what Luqiu Qingfeng was thinking, and he secretly sent a message to comfort the girl.

"That's right. Anyway, I have a few hundred years to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritualization. Then I can try to ascend to the Spiritual Realm."

Luqiu Qingfeng's beautiful eyes turned, and the worry in her heart was slightly relieved.

Next, Wei Tu did not talk with the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl for long. He followed her into the Great Snow Mountain, took away the fifth-grade top-quality talisman nurtured by the "Four Yin Nourishing Spirit Array", then stood up and said goodbye, intending to return to the Guixu Sea cultivation world first.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl was not surprised by this.

As early as the war between the two tribes, she had heard Wei Tu say that he had once joined the Jishan Sect of the Guixu Sea Cultivation World...

Now, since she has decided to ascend and leave, it is natural for her to return to Guixu Sea and deal with some important matters of the sect like she did.

"Mr. Wei, during this trip, I happened to meet a fellow traveler on the snowy mountains of the Western Regions. She also wanted to ascend to heaven, but she was afraid that her bloodline would be coveted by others and captured to be used as a spirit beast, so she was afraid to ascend through the Ascension Well..."

At this time, the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl suddenly remembered something and called Wei Tu.

“But what about the one or two great masters in the human world who were mentioned by Senior Jiang Lingzi?” Wei Tu became alert and asked with a frown.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl shook her head, "This cultivator is not the Great Spiritualization Cultivator that Senior Jiang Lingzi mentioned. His cultivation is only at the late stage of Spiritualization. He just broke through not long ago, and it should be less than three hundred years."

Hearing this, Wei Tu suddenly realized that this should be a "true spirit descendant" that grew up after Jiang Lingzi ascended to heaven, and was accidentally encountered by the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl who was traveling outside.

He secretly sighed and wondered why he didn't have such good luck. If he met one, it would be nice to keep it as a spiritual pet.

The upper limit of Sky-Splitting Eagle's bloodline is limited...

"She is not close to you and me. If she has any ill intentions when she ascends, it will be inappropriate."

"After you and I ascend, you can send someone to give her a copy of the map of the Death God Ridge. This will be considered a good relationship."

Suppressing his greed, Wei Tu pondered for a moment and came up with a safe compromise. (End of this chapter)
