I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"This is... Nanqiu Lake, the outermost of the Wanlin Lakes. If we go further south, we will soon reach the Rising Sun Sea."

Wei Tu, who had been flying slowly with Chai Shou and his group for nearly a month, felt a little surprised and doubtful again after seeing the vast sea that looked like red gold connected to the lake in front of him.

The Rising Sun Sea is the boundary sea between the Lei Ze Continent and the Feng Huo Continent, located in the southeast of the Lei Ze Continent.

This sea area is also the boundary area between the human race's "Divine Fire Fairyland" and "Guangqing Fairyland". It is a naturally desolate and soulless place in the spiritual world. Even a powerful cultivator like the Void Refiner would face a certain risk of falling when crossing it.

If Wei Tu wanted to go to the Holy Emperor Domain on foot without the help of the inter-immortal domain teleportation array, the first danger he would have to face would be this "Rising Sun Sea".

This sea has always been known as a "dead land" - therefore, as soon as he arrived at the edge of the sea, Wei Tu once again became extremely curious about the purpose of Chai Shouzuo and his party.

Fortunately, now that they had arrived in this uninhabited area, Master Chai and his group let down their guard and began communicating with their companions without using their spiritual sense to transmit messages.

This made Wei Tu, who was following behind, suddenly look happy. He pushed his pupil technique to the extreme and tried hard to remember the "lip reading" of these people.

"Friend Cableway, it's time for you to make the purpose of this trip clear at this point."

"This Rising Sun Sea is not an easy place to enter. Every tribe has memories and knows how many Void-Refining cultivators were swallowed up by this golden seawater..."

"Now, if you still hide it, no matter how high the price you Chengxin Pavilion offers, the three of us will not move forward one step."

The three Void-Refining Monks invited by Chengxin Pavilion cleverly banded together and joined forces to put pressure on Master Chai, the monk surnamed Suo, and the bald old man.

Perhaps because they felt that their power was balanced, the three Void-Refining Monks invited by Chengxin Pavilion were so confident and bold to follow Master Chai and his companions and come here from afar.

however--

to this scene.

Chai Shouzu, who was in front of the crowd, seemed to have expected this and smiled gently, saying, "The three Daoists do not need to embarrass Daoist Suo. This time, Chengxin Pavilion invited the three Daoists here because it accepted Shi's commission to help Shi complete an important task."

As soon as these words came out.

The three invited Void-Refining monks immediately showed some surprise on their faces. After looking at each other, they pretended to listen attentively.

"To be honest with you three fellow Taoists, I accidentally witnessed a battle between monsters on the Rising Sun Sea a few years ago. In that battle, two sixth-stage monsters were both injured..."

"A sixth-order late-stage demon beast?" Upon hearing this, the three Void Refining Monks frowned slightly, but there was a clear hint of interest on their faces.

After all, most high-level monsters do not travel in groups, and this monster is seriously injured - with their current combined strength, killing this monster should not be a difficult task.

But soon, they discovered something strange.

This was because, no matter how valuable a sixth-order late-stage demon beast was, after paying their rewards, there might not be much left in Chief Chai's hands.

There is even the possibility of suffering some losses.

You must know that all of these Void-Refining Monks were hired by Monk Suo with high rewards.

However, as Master Chai continued to narrate, their doubts were gradually dispelled, and they had more trust in what Master Chai said.

"I am incompetent and have limited energy, so I can only secretly follow the most seriously injured monster to the cave where it is."

"That monster is a sea ape beast, guarding a red-sparing tree fruit that is about to bloom and bear fruit."

"You are all cultivators of the Void Refining Sect. I think you all know how precious this red essence wood fruit is, right?"

Master Chai smiled faintly.

In the distance, when Wei Tu heard these four words, his expression brightened up like the three Void Refining Monks, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

The red-jing wood fruit is very famous in the area around the Wanlin Lakes.

This fruit is a sixth-grade spiritual fruit that is abundant in the Wanlin Lakes area and has a beneficial effect on the cultivation of Void-Refining Monks.

Of course, this so-called abundance should be put in quotation marks.

Compared with other sixth-level spiritual fruits, it is more common near the Wanlin Lakes and is easy to be taken by cultivators.

“No! Why would it be necessary for Master Chai to mobilize so many troops just for the red-jing wood fruit?” Wei Tu shook his head secretly, thinking that Master Chai must have other plans.

Although the red essence wood fruit is precious to the cultivators of the refining realm, it may not be so precious to the great masters like Chai Shouzu who have reincarnated and cultivated again.

Put yourself in his shoes - suppose he is a reincarnated cultivator. Not to mention preparing some scarce resources for his next life of cultivation, he would definitely not lack ordinary elixirs for cultivation.

in short.

It is true that the red-essence wood fruit is precious, but in the eyes of a strong man at the level of a fusion master, it is just ordinary stuff.

"This Master Chai definitely has other plans. What this cultivator is seeking must be something ten or a hundred times more precious than the red-essence wood fruit." Wei Tu's eyes flashed, his heart pounding.

……

The three Void-Refining Monks invited by Chengxin Pavilion did not know the true identity of Master Chai, and naturally did not have the ability to "calculate" like Wei Tu. After listening to Master Chai's words, they believed 70% to 80% of what he said about the red-essence wood fruit.

The fruit of the red ginseng tree is a cluster-growing magical fruit. If taken multiple times, there will be a certain interval period due to its drug resistance.

Therefore, there were at least three to five fruits of the red-wood tree discovered by Master Chai that had not been swallowed by the sea ape beast.

Three or five red-elf wood fruits, plus the benefits gained from killing this late-stage sixth-order sea ape beast, were obviously enough to outweigh the reward for inviting the three of them.

But... the three Void-Refining Monks who heard these words were obviously also tempted by the Red Essence Wood Fruit.

Chai Shouzuo immediately said: "Red Spirit Wood Fruit... Shi wants only two, and the remaining number will be distributed according to the efforts made by fellow Taoists who killed the sea ape beast."

After these words were spoken, all the cultivators present had no more objections and all showed satisfaction on their faces.

Therefore, after pausing for a short while above the coast of the Rising Sun Sea, Chai Shouzuo and his group immediately dived into the depths of the Rising Sun Sea without slowing down.

After a break.

Wei Tu, who appeared at the coastline, flew without hesitation into the Rising Sun Dead Sea, which was called "Jedi" by the low-level cultivators of the human race and various alien races.

The characteristics of this sea are similar to the "Blood Slaughter Sea" in the outer area of ​​Taixu Realm that Wei Tu encountered when he was in the human world before.

Similarly, sea water is toxic and has a certain blocking effect on spiritual consciousness.

The only difference is that the water of the Rising Sun Sea is more toxic and can have an effect on cultivators of the Void Refining Stage.

Then, the Rising Sun Sea is a natural forbidden area, unlike the Blood Slaughter Sea which is a man-made dangerous pass. There are certain "oases" in the deep sea water, which nurture a considerable number of monsters.

Follow the sea all the way down.

We have been tracking Chai Shouzuo and his group for nearly a month.

Wei Tu finally saw from afar an "isolated island" located deep in the sea, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles.

This isolated island is quite peculiar - the sea water is a normal bluish color, clearly distinguished from the golden waters of the Rising Sun Sea. Various spiritual plants grow on the island, and many sea fish swim nearby. It is not at all as desolate as other places in the Rising Sun Sea.

However, after Chai Shouzuo and his companions entered the border between this "isolated island" and the Rising Sun Sea, Wei Tu suddenly discovered that Chai Shouzuo and his companions... seemed to have disappeared!

“No! There are other spaces inside. There is also a secret realm inside this isolated island.” Wei Tu used the [Hun'e Evil Eye] to push the power of this demon eye to the extreme.

The next moment, he saw that Master Chai and his group appeared in a forest that looked like Luzhou.

After talking for a while, they all turned into a beam of light and quickly disappeared from the spot.

As for Wei Tu, at this moment, it was difficult for him to capture the figures of several people with his [Hun'e Evil Eye].

This distance has exceeded the range of his spiritual pupils.

However, at this moment, Wei Tu was not in a hurry to fly into the secret realm of the isolated island. Instead, he maintained a certain patience and remained motionless in the waters of the Rising Sun Sea.

Time passes by moment by moment.

Until half an hour passed.

At this time, Wei Tu finally moved. His figure flashed and he plunged into the sea of ​​the isolated island.

The next moment, a dizzy feeling appeared.

He arrived at the forest where Chai Shouzuo and others had come half an hour ago.

only--

As soon as he arrived here, he immediately heard a loud rumbling sound in his ears, like a dragon turning over.

"Have we been discovered?" Wei Tu's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly summoned the Sky-Splitting Eagle, ready to escape immediately.

But fortunately, at this critical moment.

His spiritual sense captured it. It was the fluctuation of magic power coming from afar and was not directed at him.

This made him secretly relieved.

At the same time, his figure flashed and he carefully hid in a place far away from the location of the magic power fluctuations.

Then, he carefully looked around and searched for the place where Master Chai was.

During this period.

He saw it easily.

The cultivator surnamed Suo and the bald old man joined forces with the three Void-Refining cultivators invited by Chengxin Pavilion to fight against the sea ape beast, which was dozens of feet in size and exuded a terrifying aura.

As expected and natural, Chai, the organizer, was absent here!
One beast alone fought against the combined forces of five Lianxu masters. Not only did the Sea Ape Beast not fall into a disadvantage, but on the contrary, it had the upper hand.

The demon's body was so powerful that the attacks from the five refining masters seemed to be just painful to it.

Its fighting power was so formidable that it firmly trapped the five Void Refining Monks, making it difficult for them to escape.

In less than a moment, a cultivator in the Void Refining Stage was injured.

"This sea ape beast is not seriously injured. Lord Chai deceived these five people and treated them as abandoned pawns." Wei Tu's eyes fixed, and he couldn't help but think that Lord Chai was cruel.

The cultivator surnamed Suo, the bald old man, and the beautiful woman all clearly respected Master Chai and were very much like this cultivator's "subordinates".

She is just a beautiful woman, but she is just a divine cultivator.

But the cultivator with the surname Suo, the bald old man, is a powerful Void-Refining expert that is rare in any race or force.

"Those who do such cruel things will surely be rewarded handsomely!" Wei Tu swallowed his saliva and carefully searched for the location where Chief Chai was.

After a while, he found Master Chai in a place.

It turned out that this cultivator had unexpectedly broken into the cave behind the sea ape beast without knowing when!

Moreover, it was rushing towards a certain place in the cave.

but--

There was clearly a light blue barrier set up at the entrance of this cave.

Furthermore, the barrier did not appear to be damaged or destroyed at all.

"The combined power is indeed extraordinary."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed, and he no longer hesitated. He pinched a spell and concealed the aura on his body into invisibility. In an instant, his figure sneaked towards the cave behind the sea ape beast.

It's just a pity——

Although his ability to conceal his breath was amazing, at close range, it was not difficult for either the sea ape beast or the five Void-Refining monks fighting with it to detect his arrival.

Of course, this method of concealing his breath also bought him some time to get close to the sea ape beast's cave.

At the moment when the sea ape beast slapped its huge hand with a palm-leaf fan.

Immediately——

A pair of green wings stretched out from behind Wei Tu, and with a sudden flap, he disappeared without a trace.

Including his own breath, it completely disappeared outside the cave at this moment.

"Roar!" The sea ape beast suddenly became furious, realizing that Wei Tu might have sneaked into his cave.

However, just when it wanted to return to the cave and stop the thief Wei Tu, the bald old man seemed to have found the right opportunity, and took out a round black bead and threw it at the back of the sea ape beast.

Boom! Boom!
The sound of thunder exploding was then heard.

Crackling arcs of electricity flashed, and several hideous crisscrossing wounds appeared on the back of the sea ape beast.

At this time, the sea ape beast's eyes also turned bloodshot. It turned around and looked at the bald old man and the other four Void-Refining Monks, its eyes filled with murderous intent.

"God damn it, Old Man Shi, what are you doing? The sea ape beast finally chased the monk, and you led it back again."

The angry curses of the cultivators rang out instantly.

But the bald old man really had no intention of explaining. Instead, he sneered sinisterly: "My fellow Taoists, if we don't kill this sea ape beast, there is no chance for you and me to escape from here. Instead of bearing a grudge against me, you might as well join hands with me to kill this evil beast."

"Who is that monk?"

"How can there be such a mysterious method?"

At the same time, the monk named Suo was still confused by the appearance of Wei Tu. He frowned slightly and a figure immediately appeared in his mind.

There are countless cultivators in the world who have attained the state of refining emptiness.

But in a short period of time, encountering "same" things one after another, there is only one possibility, that is, this cultivator... is the same person!
"It's him!"

"That fifth-level corpse-refining cultivator who came to Chengxin Pavilion to trade!" The cultivator named Suo was certain in his heart.

But at this moment, he did not tell this discovery to the bald old man in the same camp, but chose to keep it secret.

Then, he looked deeply at the bald old man, took out a big iron umbrella, and fought with the sea ape beast again, supporting the bald old man's "traitorous behavior" with his actions.

Seeing this, the other Void Refining cultivators had to grit their teeth and accept the bald old man again. After all, if an internal conflict really broke out at this moment, they would be the ones who would suffer.

Only by uniting with them and getting rid of the Seamon first can they have a chance of survival. (End of this chapter)
