I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Next, Qiao Menghan's attitude towards Wei Tu became less cold and harsh, and he also told Wei Tu the location of Xiaogushan Mountain and the information about some great monks there.

The latter was because Qiao Menghan, in order to prevent Wei Tu, colliding with these overhauls and bringing trouble to himself.

While on the journey, Wei Tu secretly returned once, taking advantage of Qiao Menghan's unpreparedness, to the abandoned cave he had accidentally entered when he ascended to heaven, and put the spiritual treasures and objects hidden there back into the newly purchased storage bag.

The two have a harmonious atmosphere and a harmonious relationship.

If someone saw them, they would really mistake them for a perfect couple, rather than a debtor and creditor who were hypocritical and had evil intentions.

With Qiao Menghan as a breakthrough.

Wei Tu also quickly found out about some "healing elixirs" that he might be able to obtain at the moment.

One is that the "Ku Dan Shi" who has reached the state of spiritual transformation and is attending the meeting will auction his own elixir, the "Yu Tang Dan", at the Xiaogushan exchange meeting held every thirty years.

The second is the Taoist temple where a spiritual master named Jiang resides.

This Taoist temple has a fifth-level medicine pool called the "Dragon Marrow Spring". The medicinal soup in it has the effect of "reviving the dead and turning their bones into flesh". Under the years of cultivation by this cultivator named Jiang, it has reached the point where almost all injuries can be healed.

However, unlike the "Ku Dan Master" who would auction his "Yu Tang Dan" at a fixed time, this Divine Transformation cultivator named Jiang rarely sells the opportunity to soak in the spiritual spring to others.

It is somewhat difficult to obtain.

Wei Tu was very satisfied with the contents of the two pieces of news, but at this point he also began to have a headache about his own financial problems.

As soon as he entered the spirit world, he immediately became a "poor ghost".

All his savings disappeared in an instant.

Of course, if he was willing to sell his spiritual treasure and obtain some spiritual crystals, this disaster could be resolved.

However, the spiritual treasures that he could carry with him to ascend and withstand the "space pressure" were all treasures from the lower world. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to quench his thirst with poison and destroy his own Great Wall.

"I can only go back to my old ways."

Wei Tu's mind suddenly turned and he remembered his identity as a talisman master, and seemingly unintentionally revealed it to Qiao Menghan.

"Fellow Daoist Wei is also a Talisman Master? A fourth-rank, upper-grade Talisman Master?"

Qiao Menghan was surprised and asked.

A fourth-rank talisman master is just a common craftsman in the "Divine Fire Fairyland", but if one can reach the "top level", he will become quite scarce.

Even in the Qingzhou sect where she was, the Qingling Sect, the big sect, the entire sect and its affiliated forces, only had two people in total.

These two people are all guests of honor of major forces.

“Fortunately, I was able to draw a ‘quasi-fifth-level talisman’ by using the formation.” Wei Tu smiled slightly and said in a self-promoting tone.

Qiao Menghan did not completely believe this sentence, but seeing Wei Tu's confident look, she half believed it. In her heart, she changed the "portrait" of Wei Tu - from a troublesome person with a bad character to a valuable person who she could try to make friends with.

Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others.

Qiao Menghan's attitude towards Wei Tu changed again.

However, because the time for traveling to Xiaogushan was too short, this change in attitude was still very "hidden" and not very clear.

……

Xiaogushan is located in "Fengzhou" under the jurisdiction of "Shenhuo Fairyland".

This mountain has never been marked as a place name in the geographical documents of Fengzhou, let alone a spiritual mountain famous in the world of immortal cultivation.

It is just a mountain of considerable size.

But every thirty years, a large number of monks would come to this sparsely populated Fanshan to stay and trade.

After three days of travel, Wei Tu followed Qiao Menghan to this place.

"Who is this? Does he have a name?" The "law enforcement monk" stationed at the foot of Xiaogushan Mountain looked at the leader Qiao Menghan and asked with a frown.

The Xiaogushan Exchange Meeting is a Taoist event in several nearby states that gradually evolved from a gathering of acquaintances.

Therefore, most of the monks here are "acquaintances". Even if they have never seen the person, as "natives", they have more or less heard of the name this person has made.

Wei Tu's appearance and realm are undoubtedly a "stranger" here.

Hearing this, Qiao Menghan wanted to say that Wei Tu was just a "bad-tempered" person she met by chance on the road, and he shamelessly depended on her - this was the plan she had prepared when she invited Wei Tu to participate in the Xiaogushan Trade Fair.

She didn't have the ability to drive away Wei Tu, the Nascent Soul cultivator, but the fellow Taoists in Xiaogushan could.

But after spending these two days together, perhaps she also believed Wei Tu’s “nonsense” and felt that Wei Tu had great potential.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Qiao Menghan concealed the fact that Wei Tu had an unknown origin and only said that Wei Tu was an old friend of hers from another state, who had heard that there was a great immortal event on Xiaogushan Mountain, so he came with her to participate.

"A deposit of two hundred spirit crystals."

Hearing this, the law enforcement monk's frown relaxed immediately, nodded, and began to act according to the rules.

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Menghan subconsciously looked at Wei Tu, signaling Wei Tu to take out the spirit crystal and pay the deposit.

After all, there was no reason for her to pay for this matter.

But unexpectedly, at this moment Wei Tu felt "uninformed" and did not understand the meaning of her expression.

Stand aside with your eyes watching the nose and your nose watching the heart.

This made Qiao Menghan extremely depressed, but she had already said it. If she did not pay the "deposit" now, her qualification to enter the exchange meeting might be revoked.

Every monk who participates in the trade fair must pay a deposit.

This is also an invisible constraint on "劫修".

However, the monks who knew the state well usually paid little. For example, she only paid a hundred.

Qiao Menghan had no choice but to grit his teeth, take out a spirit crystal bag from his arms and hand it to the law enforcement monk.

"Fairy Qiao, don't worry. I will pay you back after I earn some spirit crystals after entering this exchange. I can't lose money before even entering this trade fair."

Wei Tu smiled and used these words to cover up the fact that he was a Yuanying cultivator but penniless.

"hope so."

Qiao Menghan ignored him. She already regretted that she did not inform the law enforcement monk Wei Tu of his "true identity" in time, and ended up shooting herself in the foot.

However, the next moment.

A scene that surprised her appeared.

After entering Xiaogushan, Wei Tu went straight to a "talisman paper stall" and started drawing talismans in front of the stall owner.

There is nothing unusual about drawing talismans.

But... Wei Tu did not use a talisman pen, but completed it entirely by relying on the magic power flowing through his fingertips.

This move not only attracted Qiao Menghan's attention, but also the nearby monks, who were stunned by Wei Tu's amazing operation.

"This fellow Taoist's attainments in the art of talismans are truly terrifying. He can draw talismans without using a talisman pen... You know, the higher the level of the talisman, the higher the magic power required to draw it."

"The function of the talisman pen is to stabilize the mana, output it accurately, and refine the mana to a certain extent..."

"But this fellow Taoist has reached the level of wielding a talisman pen with just his fingertips."

All the cultivators present were astonished, especially an old talisman master of the fourth rank, who was even more astonished when he saw Wei Tu's operation.

The art of talismans is different from other "immortal arts" such as alchemy and formation, and the threshold for entry is not high.

The realm of the cultivators present was, at least, "Nascent Soul", so they could naturally understand the meaning of what the old talisman master said.

"In my opinion, this fellow Taoist's strength is not in his attainments in the art of talismans, but in the purity of his magical power and his precise control over it. With such magical power, he must have the hope of breaking through to the state of incarnation... The skills he has practiced must also be of top quality..."

The cultivators whispered to each other.

Soon, as these words came out, the cultivators looked at Wei Tu with more "admiration" in their eyes, as well as excitement of being eager to try and make friends with him.

Although it is common to see gods, there has never been a "peer god" with a friendly relationship.

But Wei Tu turned a deaf ear to these words and turned to ask the stall owner whether he would take back the talismans.

"To be honest, I came to Xiaogushan in a hurry this time, so I don't have many spirit crystals with me... There are many things on Xiaogushan that I covet..."

Wei Tu carefully considered his words and said these words.

Upon hearing this, all the practitioners present understood and nodded in agreement.

Like Wei Tu, every time they attended the Xiaogushan Exchange Conference, they deeply regretted that they did not have enough spiritual crystals, which prevented them from purchasing more spiritual pills and spiritual weapons to increase their cultivation and strength.

only--

Before the stall owner could speak.

An old but very loud voice came from a distance, "This fourth-grade high-quality spiritual talisman, I will take it, and the price is ninety-one spiritual crystals, what do you think, fellow Daoist?"

"Is it the Divine Light Sanren?"

"It has been a hundred years since he broke through to the Quasi-God Transformation Realm. How could he be interested in this fourth-level superior talisman?"

The cultivators looked in surprise as they looked at a bald man in a red robe who was standing outside the crowd and walking towards the talisman paper stall.

The fourth-grade high-quality talisman is useful for cultivators who are about to enter the state of spiritual transformation, but the cost-effectiveness is often not very high, especially the talisman in Wei Tu's hand, which is only an attack talisman.

The price/performance ratio is even lower.

"Haha. Shen Guang San Ren's real intention is not to drink. He just joined Fengzhou's "Jiuyoumen" as a guest official ten years ago. He was in urgent need of making merit in exchange for the "Jiuyoumen" to replenish his infant spirits... How could he not be happy to see this talisman master?"

Someone whispered and pointed out the way to the confusion of the practitioners.

After hearing this, all the practitioners suddenly understood.

More than 90% of the cultivators at the Xiaogushan Trade Fair are independent cultivators from various states. The remaining 10%, although they are cultivators from sects, most of them are also later joined the sect as guest elders.

The direct descendants of the major sects are not invited to the Xiaogushan Exchange Conference. Moreover, given the "nobility" of these direct descendants, many of them hold "exchange conferences" within the major sects and look down on the Xiaogushan Exchange Conference organized by independent cultivators.

next moment.

Shen Guang San Ren appeared at the talisman paper stall with eager eyes, took out a spirit crystal bag, and bought a "Heavy Rock Talisman" that Wei Tu had just drawn.

"I think you know why I'm here. My Nine Nether Sect is in urgent need of recruiting talented people. If Master Wei Fu is willing to go, I will give you everything you want. I am also willing to give you 1,500 spirit crystals as a gift as a housewarming fee..."

"What do you think, Master Wei Fu?"

Shen Guang San Ren transmitted the message to Wei Tu.

A fourth-rank, top-grade talisman master is considered a strategic resource for any sect, especially a "talisman master talent" like Wei Tu - if he can be recruited into the Jiuyou Sect, he will at least be rewarded with a spiritual item to replenish his infant.

"Wei will consider it."

Wei Tu nodded, neither agreeing nor refusing outright.

If he still hasn't found the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl in the "Divine Fire Fairyland" after a period of time, then joining a sect at the right time would indeed be of some benefit to him.

He was not after the sect's resources, but rather that the sect could give him another "disguise" to hide his identity as an ascended monk.

——Although an ascended monk can attract the human race’s high-level officials to allocate resources and train him, like Jiang Lingzi.

But he is different from Jiang Lingzi. His names were already included in the Human Ancestor Temple when he was in the human world, and his merits and virtues had already been included in the Human Ancestor Temple... There is no need to rush to become famous for this.

All he needs to do is go to the "Holy Emperor Territory" and meet Jiang Lingzi, and he will have everything he deserves.

On the contrary, keeping a low profile - before going to the "Holy Emperor Domain", avoiding assassins and killers from alien races such as the Fog Ghost Clan is the top priority.

“That’s right!”

"Fellow Daoist, just remember that Jiuyou Sect and I were the first to recruit you."

Shen Guang San Ren replied with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

He did not expect to successfully recruit Wei Tu the first time. At the Xiaogushan exchange meeting, spreading the network widely was the most important thing.

As long as you can catch one, it's worth it.

There were more than just Shen Guang San Ren who came to recruit Wei Tu. After Shen Guang San Ren left, more cultivators also arrived here and showed their faces in front of Wei Tu.

These seem to bring no benefit to Wei Tu.

But in fact, it allowed him, an ascended monk, to open up the situation in the Divine Fire Immortal Realm in such a short period of time, so he was no longer alone and "without friends".

Correspondingly, the representatives of these forces also placed orders for some fourth-level talismans with Wei Tu.

Therefore, in less than a day, Wei Tu jumped from a "poor guy" to a "rich man" in the Nascent Soul stage.

"Thank you, Fairy Qiao, for temporarily borrowing the spiritual crystal."

"This is two hundred and fifty spirit crystals. The extra fifty spirit crystals will be considered as the interest given to you by Wei."

Several hours later, Wei Tu finally had some free time. He walked out of the crowded crowd and came to Qiao Menghan, who was standing outside the crowd, frowning and thinking hard. He repaid the deposit he owed to the woman one by one, and added fifty more spirit crystals.

"Really?"

Qiao Menghan weighed the heavy bag of spirit crystals in his hand with mixed feelings.

Logically speaking, she should be happy that the spiritual crystal has returned, but the premise is that the other party has no "ability to repay the debt" and no "potential".

"If you want to join the sect, you don't have to look for Shen Guang San Ren and the others. You can look for me."

"You know, Qingling Sect is the number one sect in Qingzhou, backed by the Divine Fire Temple!"

Her thoughts raced, she suppressed all the distracting thoughts in her mind, and smiled. (End of this chapter)
