I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"It's just that - the premise of all this is that Master Su Xin is not deliberately deceiving me and keeping me in suspense." Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly. He knew what was going on. He knew that his repeated refusals and his behavior of keeping to himself were enough to greatly reduce Master Su Xin's impression of him.

To put it nicely, he was acting rationally.

To put it bluntly, he is greedy for profit and difficult to tame.

With his personality, he would never have such unrealistic fantasies as thinking that the shrewd and capable leader of the Lianxu sect, who has been in charge of the sect for many years, is a "novice in love" and would marry him and give up the opportunity for breakthrough after saving his life.

The word benefit.

This is the "root" of their relationship!
Judging from his performance just now, his temperament of being pure and unworldly and not close to the world is just a disguise for Su Xin Shangren.

"Are you serious about what Master said?"

"Will you really grant me that noble favor in the future?"

After a moment's thought, Wei Tu's eyes suddenly became full of aggression. In an instant, he moved closer to Master Su Xin again, stretched out his right arm, and tightly embraced the woman's slender waist.

At the same time, his nose twitched as he sniffed the subtle fragrance from the woman's body.

But under this lustful look.

However, Wei Tu stared closely at the expressions on Master Su Xin's face, trying to see whether she was sincere or just trying to please him with evil intentions.

If it was the former, he would follow her wishes and protect her for a while longer, thus fulfilling the friendship they had shown over the years.

If it's the latter...

Although he would not be so ruthless as to turn against you, it was inevitable that he would withdraw from the Qingling Sect.

Master Su Xin said nothing, her delicate body stiffened slightly, and the faint smile on her face also froze a little.

But Wei Tu’s probing did not end here.

His right hand moved up and lightly touched the roundness, even threatening to pierce through the dress and touch the skin.

moment.

Master Su Xin's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She pursed her lips lightly, silently enduring the discomfort.

However, there was no sign of impatience or disgust on his face.

But when Wei Tu had further plans, Master Su Xin took a step back, broke away from Wei Tu's embrace, and panted softly, "I can give my yin essence to Junior Brother Wei, but not now. When Junior Brother Wei is about to break through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Stage, you can borrow my yin essence to make further progress..."

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu secretly said in his heart, "As expected" - she only flattered him for the sake of the greater good, and had no intention of committing herself to him. Of course, it was not impossible to sacrifice herself for him when necessary. But the opportunity of the noble man that he cared about, this woman would not give it up!

——This woman, like him, values ​​career and immortality more, and does not mind sacrificing such trivial things as her looks.

This was the case when I promised to use my Yuan Yin to help him break through last time, and it was also the case when I promised these two conditions to get his help this time.

Fortunately-

If it was just an exchange of interests, considering his personality, it might not be a bad thing for him.

He didn't want to provoke Hong Luan again, because when it came to love, one could only help and help again, and there would be no peace, but the exchange of interests was not like that... Even if it came to the point of taking away Yuan Yin, he could still keep himself out of it and walk away.

"Okay! I don't expect to ask for the opportunity from that noble man, but... I hope that Master Aunt won't break the promise of giving me the Yuan Yin when I am about to break through to the middle stage of Refining Void!"

Wei Tu also flicked his sleeves, took a step back, his expression returned to being cold, and he said this in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Master Su Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became more complicated, with both joy and sorrow.

The good news is that Wei Tu has agreed to help, and she and the Qingling Sect should be able to overcome the many crises that are coming.

The sad thing is... this was the price she had to pay for Wei Tu's action in exchange for giving up her own dignity.

Of course, because of the life-saving grace and the close contact during the healing process in the past, she did not dislike Wei Tu, nor did she feel physically disgusted or repulsed by him.

But these things are still quite humiliating and will become a dark history in her immortal journey.

……

After each of them "confessed", Wei Tu and Master Su Xin spoke without restraint. Although they still addressed each other as "Master's aunt" and "Master's nephew", their words were obviously less euphemistic and more straightforward from the perspective of interests.

If someone who didn't know the details of the two and who valued etiquette heard the conversation between Wei Tu and Master Su Xin, he would probably angrily scold Wei Tu for betraying his master and ancestors and being a bad disciple.

in business.

Wei Tu directly asked how Master Su Xin planned to transfer the Qingling Sect's foundation and avoid being hunted down by the Moyun Sect and the Seven Desires Evil Monk.

This is also vaguely related to his safety during his time in Qingling Sect.

"The Divine Fire Temple is the upper sect of my sect. There are lay monasteries trying to recruit you. Logically, we should ask the Divine Fire Temple to deal with the traitors of the Demon Cloud Sect... But the Demon Cloud Sect has always been secretive. It is difficult to completely eradicate the Human Ancestor Temple, let alone the Divine Fire Temple..."

"With our combined strength, it is difficult to mobilize the combined strength of the Divine Fire Temple to take action."

Master Su Xin sighed softly, his words revealing helplessness.

On the surface, the resources that the Qingling Sect has leveraged do not fear the power of the current Moyun Sect, but there is a saying that you can only steal for a thousand days and never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Therefore, there is only one safest and most economical way from beginning to end - to secretly transfer the Qingling Sect's foundation, protect the Qingling Sect's manpower, and prevent the Demon Cloud Sect from secretly harming them.

Believing in the justice of the human race, creating a tough guy character, joining forces with various sects, and using the power of the entire sect to confront the Demon Cloud Sect head-on, such things are only done by fools who are inexperienced in the world.

It is not within her consideration as the sect leader.

After all, even if they win by then, the Qingling Sect will be seriously damaged and will no longer be as prosperous as it is today.

"I will send Heng'er and some of the qualified but undeveloped monks in the sect to the Divine Fire Temple and ask my old friends in the secular monastery to help take care of them..."

"The Divine Fire Temple is the parent sect of my sect, so it has some responsibility to protect the safety of our sect. The Demon Cloud Sect is also the public enemy of the human race... For the sake of reputation, the Divine Fire Temple will definitely accept it."

"For the remaining elders who have reached the state of incarnation and the core members of the sect, I intend to take them to temporarily move to the sect's secret place - Qingyang Valley."

Master Su Xin said slowly.

The words fell.

Wei Tu keenly heard that Master Su Xin only made specific arrangements for the elites of the young and middle factions within the Qingling Sect, and seemed to be planning to let the other cultivators go their own way?

"Those who can become the leaders of a faction are indeed not simple people." Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he was glad that he was not fooled by Master Su Xin's "disguise" and was foolishly fooled.

This woman is not that evil, but she is definitely not a compassionate person.

"Since Master has made such proper arrangements, I, Wei, have nothing to worry about." Wei Tu nodded in approval and did not question Master Su Xin's arrangements.

In a word, a kind army cannot be commanded.

Since they are retreating to the sect's secret place, it is naturally not advisable to bring too many monks with them, as this will increase the risk of leaks.

Only with sacrifices can we better confuse the Demon Cloud Sect.

……

Half a month after recovery.

Master Su Xin's injuries were finally suppressed, and he recovered some of his fighting abilities.

At this point, Wei Tu used his magic power to open the Dragon-Breaking Stone at the entrance of the cave, and walked out together with Master Su Xin.

But Nan Hengzi was a little disappointed when he saw this scene.

Because he found that there seemed to be a certain gap between Wei Tu and Master Su Xin, and they were not close.

While flying, keep your distance.

"Master, you care too much about your reputation and are unwilling to humble yourself in front of Senior Brother Wei." Nan Hengzi sighed inwardly.

In his opinion, Wei Tu and Master Su Xin were clearly close to the stage where things would come to fruition.

As long as Master Su Xin is willing to take a step forward.

This shouldn’t be difficult!

With Master Su Xin's delicate mind, she naturally noticed Nan Hengzi's thoughts. She frowned and instinctively wanted to scold her disciple Nan Hengzi for his evil thoughts.

But she thought to herself: Wei Tu had already agreed to her condition and would take her essence in the future. Now, if she didn't use Wei Tu's strength to stabilize the people's hearts in the sect, it would be her loss.

So, after a little thought, Master Su Xin took the initiative to move closer to Wei Tu.

As if it was still not enough, she took a deep breath and secretly held Wei Tu's right hand, interlocking their fingers.

"Master and Senior Brother Wei, is it done?"

Nan Hengzi looked at it, complicated feelings surged in his heart. While he felt sad, he also felt a little relieved.

The other Qingling Sect's Divine Transformation Elders who were sensing this place with their spiritual sense breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and a few more smiles appeared on their faces.

They don't care about the chastity of the sect leader, but they care more about whether the sect is strong enough to withstand the impending crises.

"Now, Junior Brother Wei is my Taoist companion. If it weren't for the faction's troubled times, the Taoist companion pawning ceremony should also be held together with Junior Brother Wei's Refining Void Ceremony..."

There was the first breakthrough.

The second time, Su Xin announced her "affair" with Wei Tu in public without blushing or panicking.

The closest relatives in the world are those who are fellow Taoists.

With the status of Taoist companion, Wei Tu was completely tied to the chariot of Qingling Sect. Even if he wanted to break away, it depended on whether enemies such as the Demon Cloud Sect and the Seven Desires Evil Monk would agree.

Although Wei Tu frowned, he did not interrupt Master Su Xin.

Anyway, he doesn't suffer any loss.

It's just a question of name.

"Master's aunt, Master's nephew..."

"This is a challenge to the sect's etiquette."

Although some old cultivators in the sect were very happy that the sect leader had kidnapped a powerful Void Refinement cultivator, they could not help but complain in their hearts.

If a few months ago, when Wei Tu had just achieved the state of refining emptiness, Master Su Xin had taken the opportunity to change the "generation" between them, it would have been difficult for them to have such an idea in their minds now.

However - who made Master Su Xin openly announce that Wei Tu is his nephew, regardless of his realm, and confirmed their status? Now he has announced that Wei Tu is his Taoist partner...

However, in the end, strength is everything.

No matter how much they complained in their hearts, in front of the two great Lianxu masters, no matter how pedantic the old cultivators in the sect were, they would not dare to say anything disrespectful.

"Enter the sect's main hall to discuss matters!"

Master Su Xin looked around at the cultivators, his temperament as cold and calm as before, without a single change, and spoke calmly.

……

Temporarily moved to Qingyang Valley.

It is a good thing for the elders who have attained the state of being a god to hold meetings in the sect's main hall, so there is no reason for them to disagree.

Some choose the case.

No matter how loyal they are to the sect, they will not seek death and fight to the death with those mad dogs of the Moyun Sect with their heads at stake.

Soon, this issue was passed unanimously by the top leaders of Qingling Sect.

Without exception.

No cultivator spoke up to ask what the less qualified, lower-middle-level cultivators in the sect should do.

"In the world of immortal cultivation, whether in the human world or the spirit world, it is always the law of the jungle. The geniuses and the strong will be sincerely tried to win over. However, the mediocre and the weak with inferior qualifications will be ignored and can only become victims..."

"This is as it should be, and it is also an unspoken rule that is silently followed by everyone."

Wei Tu suddenly realized something and pondered secretly.

He also abides by this rule and has no intention of changing it.

However, when Master Su Xin had completely different views on the two, he would feel more "calm" and "clear-headed" in his heart!
Because he did not forget his origin, which was lower than those low-qualified middle and lower-level people in Qingling Sect!
Just a horse slave.

It was precisely because of this calmness and clarity that he did not "take the bait" when faced with the temptation of Su Xin's beauty. He only cared about the real benefits involved.

……

After deciding on the sect’s major plan.

Master Su Xin and a group of elders who had reached the state of transformation also demonstrated the action power of the Lianxu sect. In just half a day, they had completed all the preparations for moving the sect.

Wei Tu and Master Su Xin first escorted Nan Hengzi and a group of young men to the Shenhuo Temple.

The process went very smoothly.

The Shenhuo Temple gladly accepted the "allegation" of this group of Qingling Sect monks - after all, this group of elite monks can be ranked in the middle within the Shenhuo Temple. Whether it is to increase the strength within the sect, or to use this as a basis to cultivate spokespersons in the Qingling Sect in the future, it is a very worthwhile thing.

However, the process of moving the sect's top leaders to Qingyang Valley was not smooth.

Qingyang Valley, as the secret place of the Qingling Sect, is not located in the prosperous area of ​​the Shenhuo Fairyland, but in the border area quite close to the alien races.

In other words, it is in the "outer fairyland" outside the thirteen fairylands of the human race.

Only in these "outer fairylands" that have not been fully developed by humans can one find a hidden sixth-level spiritual land where the Qingling Sect's top leaders can rest.

along the way.

Wei Tu, Master Su Xin and a group of sect elders hid their tracks, concealed their breath and disguised their appearance, but they were still discovered by some foreign monks who were patrolling the border between the two races.

"court death!"

Wei Tu and Master Su Xin both attacked ruthlessly and quickly.

They rushed forward instantly and used their magical powers to deal with a patrol team of up to eight alien gods.

Master Su Xin secretly felt lucky that she had won over Wei Tu to come and protect her, otherwise with her seriously injured body, it would be difficult for her to quickly deal with these alien races.

After solving.

The two of them also evacuated immediately.

Fortunately, there were no more setbacks on the way to Qingyang Valley. It seemed that these superiors from the alien race who had transformed into gods did not know that the patrol team had been wiped out by them.

The area where Qingyang Valley is located is also an extremely secluded and desolate place.

Wuyou was found by the foreign monks who came to look for him.

After arriving here, if it weren't for Master Su Xin's guidance, Wei Tu would have found it difficult to find the secret realm of half space hidden in this barren land.

"This place was discovered by my Qingling Sect's founder when he followed the Divine Fire Temple to exterminate alien races. At that time, this place was still part of the Divine Fire Fairyland..."

"With the decline of the human race over the years, this place has gradually been controlled by foreign races."

Master Su Xin revealed the history of Qingyang Valley, the sect's secret place.

At this moment, although Wei Tu was listening with great interest, his spiritual sense also began to check the spoils of war.

Suddenly, a female figure carved on a bone tablet caught his attention. (End of this chapter)
