I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Being a Tribulation Cultivator was something Wei Tu had been unwilling to do since he embarked on the immortal path. Apart from the difficulty in overcoming the psychological barrier, it was also related to the principle that "a good swimmer will drown in water".

Few of those who have been robbed have a good ending.

However, at this moment, in his heart, this bottom line can undoubtedly be broken.

——Although the “injury” after his ascension was far from life-threatening for him, it was not a life-threatening situation for the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

And right now, the "Yutang Pill" is his only and most easily obtained fifth-level healing elixir.

He couldn't afford to hesitate!

In an emergency, take emergency measures!
Upon hearing this, and seeing the heavy encirclement formation and the green-faced corpse that cut off his retreat, the face of this Divine Transformation cultivator suddenly changed and became even paler.

——With his keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Wei Tu’s preparations were enough to surround and kill a great cultivator of the Divine Transformation Realm!

Wouldn't it be easy to deal with him who is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage?
If Wei Tu would give him a chance to live.

This Divine Transformation cultivator would not be credulous. No "robber cultivator" who robs people on the road would be so kind as not to harm lives and only rob property.

However, the price he got for the "Yutang Pill" was only 17,000 spirit crystals, which was not expensive. Even if he gave it away, it was still within his budget.

You can't just refuse to even try.

Therefore, after his expression changed for a moment, the Jindan cultivator said, "Daoyou, are you serious about this?" and then he took out the pill bottle without hesitation and threw it out.

next moment.

Something happened that made this Divine Transformation cultivator extremely surprised and unbelievable.

After Wei Tu obtained the pill bottle and tested that the pill was the "Yutang Pill", he actually pinched his fingers to open a formation gate and allowed him to pass through it.

After doing all this, the "masked monk" was still very trustworthy and asked about what he wanted to trade.

"Do you really mean what you said, fellow Daoist?"

Subconsciously, he uttered this sentence again.

But after he finished speaking, he quickly stopped talking and denied it, saying, "I lost my voice. I am grateful to you for sparing my life. How could I want anything else?"

He was afraid that Wei Tu was a fickle person and that his words would offend him, leading to a loss of the greater for the smaller and death on this journey.

"Fellow Daoist, please go ahead and tell me. I had no choice but to rob the Dao this time. Otherwise, I would not have resorted to such a desperate measure."

Soon, words several times gentler than before fell into his ears.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jindan cultivator felt at ease and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A lie can...

Just a few words, I wouldn't do it on purpose to make him happy.

However, he really couldn't say what the transaction item was for the moment.

He didn't know what Wei Tu had.

No matter whether it’s expensive or cheap, it’s possible to make Wei Tu unhappy.

"My name is Ma Youdao, and I am a free-spirited cultivator from Danzhou. If I am in trouble someday, please lend me a helping hand. It will also be considered as repaying the favor of asking for medicine this time."

Ma Youdao groaned for a moment and bowed.

After he finished speaking, fearing that Wei Tu might suddenly change his mind, he immediately escaped from the array gate with a flash of light. In just a few moments, he disappeared without a trace.

"Ma Youdao..."

In the clouds, Wei Tu took a deep look at Ma Youdao who was fleeing into the distance, then he pondered over the name for a while and secretly memorized it in his heart.

However, at this time, he did not immediately put away the large formation set up nearby. Instead, he pinched his hands together and made a magic gesture to hide it in the void. Then he flashed and returned the way he came.

A quarter of an hour later.

Halfway through the journey, two "tails", one big and one small, suddenly appeared behind him.

The oldest one is the Qingzhou Divine Transformation Cultivator - Senior Chen.

The younger one was the pockmarked-faced man who had attended the Xiaogushan exchange meeting with Senior Chen and who left a deep impression on him.

"Sure enough, these two have a close relationship. Originally, I thought that only this pockmarked man and I were involved, but I never thought that after I "disappeared", this man would call this incarnation named Chen..."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed and he smiled coldly.

"Uncle, I said that this talisman master couldn't run far, he must be hiding nearby." Seeing Wei Tu's trace, the pockmarked man who followed Senior Chen was instantly surprised and laughed.

"Uncle, watch me kill this man."

The pockmarked man said this again, stopping "Senior Chen", a cultivator who had reached the state of incarnation, from taking action.

In the world of immortal cultivation, even among relatives, there is a strict post-war division of spoils.

With "Senior Chen" backing him up - if he wins against Wei Tu, he can take all of Wei Tu's inheritance. If he fails, he won't have to worry about his life.

As for the property of the junior Wei Tu, "Senior Chen" had no desire to covet it. He nodded with a smile and flew away to the side.

But the next moment.

He was completely stunned.

At the moment when the pockmarked man made a move and used his magic weapon, a dazzling blood flower suddenly bloomed between his eyebrows.

At the same time, a ray of green sword energy whizzed out from the back of his head and slashed towards this Divine Transformation cultivator.

"Sword Qi of Divine Transformation? Are you a Divine Transformation cultivator?" Senior Chen's expression looked grim. He raised his palm to extinguish the sword energy and shouted coldly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that the aura on Wei Tu was very different from that of a normal God Transformation cultivator. He did not have the spiritual pressure of a God Transformation cultivator and was still in the realm of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Obviously, the method just now might just be a method similar to the "sword talisman" in his hand.

"You dare to kill my nephew, you are seeking death!"

Seeing this scene, Senior Chen suddenly became extremely furious. He did not care about the caution of the monks and immediately followed Wei Tu and quickly chased after him.

Half an hour later.

The "Nine Capitals Mysterious Spirit Formation" that had previously trapped "Ma Youdao" was activated again, and the "Toad Water Yin Corpse" hiding nearby also came out immediately, spitting out corpse qi and condensing "corpse water arrows".

But at this moment, Wei Tu did not rush to use these means. Instead, he flipped his hand, took out the "Blood-winged Moke", and threw it at "Senior Chen" who was trapped in the formation.

next moment.

Then a dazzling silver light suddenly appeared on the back of the "Blood-Winged Mok" that was trapped by Wei Tu's magic power and flying in the air.

A tiny wisp of silver sword energy, seemingly weak and only as thick as a finger, flew out quickly. It was so fast that it seemed to freeze the surrounding space.

When it fell, "Senior Chen" who was trapped in the formation, just like the pockmarked man just now, blood burst out from his eyebrows.

However, the life force of the Divine Transformation cultivator was tenacious, and at that moment, the Nascent Soul of "Senior Chen" broke out of the shell and avoided the disaster.

But this sword light seems to have the ability to find monks.

After passing through Senior Chen's brain, the remaining force did not diminish, and it turned inside the formation again, slashing towards Senior Chen's Nascent Soul, who was showing a look of fear...

After half a breath.

The breath in the formation gradually died out.

All that was left on the spot were the storage tools and robes left by "Senior Chen". As for his physical body and Nascent Soul, they had been shattered into dust by the sword energy of the "Secret Sword Talisman".

"This sword energy is truly overbearing. No wonder Fairy Xuanling can make such a great name for herself in the Mahayana realm..."

Wei Tu instantly rushed down and took away the storage magic tool left by "Senior Chen". He was secretly surprised and still felt shocked.

Not bad!

The tragic scene of Senior Chen's death shocked even him, the one who made the move.

Its force on the Divine Transformation was completely devastating and crushing, leaving not even a trace of life.

He thought to himself that even if he faced him, he would hardly have a complete body under this talisman.

"However, with this talisman, I won't be afraid of any sects or forces in this Divine Fire Immortal Realm, except for those in the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm or above..."

For the first time, Wei Tu felt a sense of "security" after his ascension.

From a powerful man who could "kill as he pleases" a pair of monks from the lower realms, he became a middle-level monk in the spiritual world... There were countless people who could bully and shit on his head. It was definitely impossible to say that he had no psychological gap.

But now, he has a certain degree of confidence.

……

After picking up the bodies.

Wei Tu counted the proceeds.

Soon, he looked slightly happy and smiled.

This "Senior Chen" is the same as Ma Youdao, both are in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He is not outstanding among the many Spiritual Transformation Realms in Xiaogushan.

However, his wealth greatly surprised this "ascended monk".

He looked down upon those low- and medium-grade spiritual treasures, which were far inferior to the treasures he had in the lower world.

But the huge amount of 170,000 spirit crystals...

However, it helped him to solve the urgent problem of lack of spirit crystals.

His current wealth has allowed him to once again reach the level of a god, rather than being the poor man he was before.

Apart from that, the spiritual medicines and elixirs he had stored on him also filled his temporary "gap" in this aspect to a great extent.

There are even two healing pills that are comparable to the "Yutang Pill".

If he had killed the uncle and nephew of "Senior Chen" earlier, he would not have had to rob "Ma Youdao" and owe this strange monk a favor for nothing.

"But who can predict what is destined?"

Wei Tu shook his head and did not regret it.

He took out the two elixirs, tested them for non-toxicity using the alchemist's method, swallowed one himself, and then fed one to the Blood-winged Mok beside him.

——Carving talismans on the body is also a huge consumption for the "Blood-Winged Mole". The moment the talisman is completed, part of its cultivation is immediately condensed into "talisman power".

As for that "Yutang Pill"...

Feeding the Sky-Splitting Eagle would not be so rough. After all, the Sky-Splitting Eagle has already been "sleeping in deep sleep", and it is difficult for it to use its magic power to refine the elixir.

After finding a cave and dissolving the "Yutang Pill" with spiritual water, Wei Tu used magic formula to inject it into the meridians of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, allowing the medicinal power to slowly nourish the demon's body and maintain its vitality.

……

The worry about healing elixir is temporarily relieved.

But Wei Tu did not give up and went to the "Dragon Marrow Spring" to bathe and heal his wounds.

A fifth-grade healing elixir is far from enough to cure the injuries suffered by the man, the beast and the bird when they ascended.

Furthermore, Ma Youdao was robbed on the road and the "Yutang Pill" used to heal his injuries was stolen. Now, his sudden absence is bound to arouse suspicion.

"Jiang Huanchen" is a famous independent cultivator in Qingzhou, and his Shenhua Taoist temple is naturally located in Qingzhou. Therefore, this trip to bathe in the "Dragon Marrow Spring" can be regarded as a return to the old place for Wei Tu.

The name of the Taoist temple is "Wangyou Mountain", which is not far from the "Dongyun Market" where Wei Tu had visited before, only seven or eight hundred miles away.

At the Xiaogushan Exchange Conference, Jiang Huanchen sold a total of seven spots for bathing in the Dragon Marrow Spring.

Wei Tu was not the first person to arrive early.

There were two people who arrived earlier than him. One was a quasi-god-transforming cultivator known as "Chang Xianweng", and the other was a guest elder of the Qingling Sect known as "Kaiyang Shanren".

The latter, Wei Tu had seen him beside Qiao Menghan when he was in Xiaogushan. Like Qiao Menghan, he had also extended an olive branch to him to be recruited by the Qingling Sect.

"Master Wei Fu is willing to come to the Dragon Marrow Spring to heal his wounds, even though he owes Senior Jiang the spiritual crystals. I think the hidden injuries he has suffered are not shallow. If the bathing here is not enough to heal them, you can go to the Qingling Sect to try to heal them..."

"Although Qingling Sect's Pharmacist Liu was unable to cure my illness, this doctor is quite skilled and enjoys a certain reputation in Qingzhou."

Kaiyang Shanren spoke to Wei Tu in a casual tone.

If someone outside heard these words, they would inevitably think too much and think that he had some hidden meaning.

But here, we are all "fellow patients", so there is naturally no need to hide the illness or avoid medical treatment, or to cover it up.

"Pharmacist Liu? I've made a note of it."

"Thank you, Daoist Brother Kaiyang, for the reminder."

Wei Tu pretended to realize something and nodded in thanks.

Although the Dragon Marrow Spring has the effect of "reviving the dead and turning bones into flesh", it is more like a tonic that strengthens the body and cannot fundamentally solve some of the monks' illnesses and hidden injuries.

Therefore, according to Kaiyangshan’s opinion, if he was suffering from a difficult and complicated disease, it would be more appropriate for him to go to Qingling Sect and ask Pharmacist Liu to solve it.

“Although Senior Jiang is easy to talk to, Master Wei Fu will inevitably be unhappy if he cancels the order and looks for another place.”

Chang Xianweng added this sentence on behalf of Kaiyang Mountain Man to prevent Wei Tu from being unwise and "escaping" in Wangyou Mountain, which would anger Jiang Huanchen, the senior who has attained the state of incarnation, and implicate both of them.

“I woke up to this.”

Wei Tu's face tensed, and he glanced into the depths of the hall. "This time, Senior Jiang was willing to extend my spiritual crystal debt by ten years, which already made me grateful. How could I have offended Senior Jiang so much over this matter..."

Now, after beheading Senior Chen's uncle and nephew, the spiritual crystals on his body are enough to repay the debt.

However, this is "black money" and he has no plans to use it for the time being.

After he finished speaking, Chang Xianweng and Kaiyang Shanren looked at each other, nodded, and changed the subject, not mentioning the matter again.

At night, when Jiang Huanchen had time to leave the cave and meet Wei Tu and the other two, he instructed the maid to temporarily arrange for the three of them to stay on Wangyou Mountain.

The medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Spring is not infinite, but has a certain upper limit.

In order not to damage the hot spring.

Therefore, each time the monks wanted to bathe, they would enter in batches and the session would last for half a month.

Wei Tu arrived later than Chang Xianweng and Kaiyang Shanren, so he was naturally ranked third after them.

Taking advantage of this leisure time, Wei Tu, while staying in the cave residence on Wangyou Mountain, also checked out some of the "miscellaneous items" of "Senior Chen"'s storage instruments, looking for something useful to him.

Soon, the "incomplete picture" in a jade slip attracted his attention.

This incomplete picture seemed to depict a series of mountains. In one corner of these mountains, there was a pattern similar to a cave, with two words marked next to it.

These two characters are ancient characters of Zhenling.

"Tianchen..." Wei Tu recited softly and deciphered the meaning of the two words.

As soon as this familiar word came out, he immediately thought of the spiritual object "Tianchen Pill" that could break through the realm of refining emptiness.

"Treasure map? The treasure map of the ancient cultivator's cave?"

Wei Tu was surprised, and quickly searched in this jade slip and the relics of the Chen family's uncle and nephew to verify that the word "Tianchen" was a clue that referred to "Tianchen Pill".

But after looking for some rest, he was disappointed.

He did not find anything related to the two words "Tianchen" in the incomplete picture among the relics of the uncle and nephew of the Chen family.

“If I had known earlier that this person might have clues about the Tianchen Pill, I would not have rashly used this Chen to transform into a god and test the power of the ‘Secret Sword Talisman’ that night…” Wei Tu sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful for his “rash behavior”.

However, there is always a silver lining.

While checking the belongings of the uncle and nephew of the Chen family with great hope, he finally saw the most frequently mentioned word on the jade slips and scrolls that the two of them carried with them - "descendants of Yuan Chen".

And follow this clue to investigate further.

Soon, the secrets of this incomplete map gradually surfaced.

If he guessed correctly, the incomplete map in the jade slip should be a treasure map that a cultivator named "Yuan Chen" left to his family bloodline after his death to revive the family treasure.

By chance, the uncle and nephew of the Chen family accidentally obtained this incomplete map, and then spent a lot of time and energy to search for the traces of Yuan Chen's descendants.

——Among the relics of the two men, there are a large number of geographical documents about Qingzhou, Fengzhou, Danzhou and other states, as well as population registers going back tens of thousands of years, which can prove this point.

"But who exactly is this descendant of Yuan Chen?"

Wei Tu flipped through the last page of the person's population register and frowned slightly when he saw the date on it.

The time of this signature is hundreds of years different from the current calendar. It can be seen that the uncle and nephew of the Chen family probably already knew the whereabouts of Yuan Chen's descendants.

"Could it be...her?"

Wei Tu's gaze focused and fell on "Qiao" among the many surnames circled by the uncle and nephew of the Chen family.

However, what puzzled him was that since the uncle and nephew of the Chen family had already found the descendants of Yuan Chen, why didn't they just kidnap Qiao Menghan? Find the "Tianchen Pill" in the remaining map? Instead, they deliberately schemed to isolate Qiao Menghan?
"Could it be that...these two people followed me this time and were preparing to attack me, and this is also related to this matter?"

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, and tasted an unusual meaning in these few clues.

Originally, he thought that this "Senior Chen" was an old cow eating young grass and regarded Qiao Menghan as a "forbidden beast", so when he saw this unexpected person, he wanted to eliminate him.

But now it seems that there must be something else going on. (End of this chapter)
