I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

After saying this, Madam Xue winked at the servant beside her, and the servant immediately flew away and returned to the back house of Xue's Trading Company, took out a "contract" made of gold and jade, and handed it to Madam Xue.

"Thank you, Master Fu Dan."

Mrs. Xue smiled and stamped the seal representing the second branch of the Xue family, then handed the "deed" to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu carefully read the terms agreed upon in the "contract", and seeing that they were the same as discussed before and there was nothing wrong with them, he immediately showed satisfaction and left his own magical mark on the "contract".

"Master Fu has just succeeded in refining the elixir. It is the time when he needs to experience the gains and losses of refining the elixir and summarize his experience. I will not disturb Master Fu for now."

After continuing to chat with Wei Tu for a while, Madam Xue left politely and did not stay in Wei Tu's alchemy room for long.

Seeing this, Master Ji Dan also tactfully took his leave.

However, before leaving, he once again expressed his goodwill to Wei Tu, saying that if Wei Tu had any questions about refining the sixth-grade elixir, he could come to him at any time.

……

Half a day later.

As the alchemists who had come to join in the fun left, the courtyard where Wei Tu was returned to silence.

At this time, Wei Tu also took a deep breath and took out the "Yu Ning Dan" again. He looked at the pill in his hand, which was as soft as warm jade and the size of a pigeon egg, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

The successful refining of this pill not only solved his problem of earning mid-grade spirit crystals in Wanling Fairy City, but also solved the problem of his cultivation progress in the Lianxu Realm.

After advancing to the Void Refining Realm, due to the "Heavenly Infant is one foot and two centimeters" - his cultivation speed can certainly be called "excellent", and a day of hard practice is several times or even ten times faster than that of ordinary cultivators. However, compared with his cultivation in the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages, this speed is inevitably a bit "slow".

At this speed, achieving fusion within a thousand years is not a luxury, but time is definitely tight!
"The Blood-Winged Mote is a descendant of a True Spirit. It is almost certain that he will break through the Void Refining Realm. There won't be any major problems..."

“No need to worry too much about that.”

Wei Tu glanced at the breakthrough phenomenon of the Blood-Winged Mok in the outside world, shook his head, tilted his head back and swallowed the "Yu Ning Pill" in his hand, then entered into meditation.

About ten days later.

He was standing motionless like a sculpture, but the spiritual pressure on his body suddenly increased at a certain moment, and then returned to calm.

"Although I was not able to break through to the "Great Success" of the initial stage of Refining Void in one fell swoop, with the help of this pill, my cultivation has improved noticeably. The mana I gained from breathing in and out is at least twice as much as before..."

"And the effect of this pill will last about five years."

Wei Tu exhaled, slowly opened his eyes, and pondered.

He estimated that if he practiced step by step, it would take about two hundred and sixty years for him to reach the peak of the early stage of refining emptiness.

In other words, if there are enough "Yu Ning Dan" to assist, this time can be compressed to one hundred and thirty years.

Of course, this is an ideal situation. After all, if a monk takes too much of the same elixir, he will inevitably develop "drug resistance", which will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the elixir.

However, even so, this pill was enough to save him a hundred years of hard training time.

"Add to that Master Su Xin's essence..."

“Within one hundred and fifty years, there will be hope of breaking through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.” Wei Tu calculated the time and felt encouraged.

In the following days, Wei Tu did not waste the medicinal effects of "Yu Ning Dan".

He locked himself in the alchemy room and practiced hard. Even when the top executives of Xue's Company invited him to a banquet, he declined and refused to attend.

Such a "weird" character would naturally cause criticism from everyone in the Xue's company. Many senior executives and alchemists felt that Wei Tu was unkind and too arrogant. After becoming a sixth-rank alchemist, he became too arrogant.

Fortunately, these criticisms were suppressed one by one by Madam Xue, who was well aware of Wei Tu's complicated background, and did not cause any trouble to Wei Tu who was practicing in seclusion.

Until half a year later.

After the news came from Xue's Business that three portions of elixirs needed to refine the "Yu Ning Dan" had been collected, Wei Tu, who had been in seclusion, reluctantly came out and started to refine the "Yu Ning Dan".

Blessed with the fate of "late bloomer".

Wei Tu successfully refined the three elixirs very easily.

However, the success rate of pill making is slightly lacking.

Except for the two pills produced in the third furnace, only one pill was produced in the first two furnaces. This pill yield rate is very low.

However, this scene looked very different in the eyes of Master Ji Dan and Madam Xue Er.

Because, Wei Tu had not failed in refining a single batch of pills!
With such a terrifying success rate, even a veteran sixth-level alchemist who has been practicing for a long time would feel ashamed of himself.

For every pill produced, the Xue's Company split the profits 50-50, just to break even.

If two pills are produced, Xue's company will make a certain profit.

Therefore, when the news spread that Wei Tu had never failed in refining the elixir, Mrs. Xue was very happy, but she couldn't help but secretly feel that she had a sharp eye and that investing in Wei Tu was not a wrong investment.

One Jade Condensing Pill costs four mid-grade spirit crystals.

Three furnaces produced four pills. If we ignore the two Yu Ning Dan that Wei Tu gave him for his own use, Wei Tu's net income from this pill refining session would have reached eight mid-grade spirit crystals.

"The auction price of the seventh-rank residual spiritual treasure [Illusion Crystal Robe] is only a little over a hundred mid-grade spiritual crystals. If I can produce more pills, it will be just around the corner for me to become a "super-rich" in the Refining Void Realm."

"It's just a pity that this is only a temporary profiteering."

After the conversion, although Wei Tu was overwhelmed with emotion and secretly surprised, he was not overwhelmed by the excitement.

Otherwise, the huge profits from "Yu Ning Dan" would not last long.

This is not because someone has forged it, or because he will leave Wanling Fairy City soon and will not be able to continue refining pills, but... the supply of spiritual herbs for refining Yu Ning Dan is difficult to sustain.

Fifth-tier and sixth-tier spiritual medicines are already scarce in the world of immortal cultivation. If it weren't for the support of Wanling Immortal City, a major commercial center in the Lei Ze Continent, it would have been good enough to gather a complete set of spiritual medicines in a short period of time, let alone refining four furnaces of medicine in succession.

At most, they can refine a few more furnaces, and then the reserves of elixir for refining "Yu Ning Dan" in Wanling Fairy City will be exhausted.

At that time, he could only spend a high price to search outside the Wanling Fairy City, thereby offsetting the "huge profits" he made from refining pills.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for most alchemists to master one trick and they need to constantly learn new alchemy recipes.

Just as Wei Tu expected.

After the three furnaces of "Yu Ning Dan" were refined, the progress of Xue's Company in searching for the corresponding elixir was obviously much slower.

It wasn't until a year later that I was able to collect two pairs.

Fortunately, with the experience from previous alchemy, Wei Tu was able to produce two pills stably this time.

Therefore, the reduction in the number of times the furnace was opened did not lead to a sharp drop in his "huge profits", but instead increased them to a certain extent.

Of course, this is also because Wei Tu did not hide the number of finished pills from Xue's Company. If he had "selfish" motives and made some adjustments to the number of finished pills, the profit would be even more substantial.

The reason why he was so "upright" was not only because Xue's Company offered him favorable conditions and Wei Tu disdained to cheat, but also because he did not intend to do just this one-time business.

Mrs. Xue, a business person, naturally saw Wei Tu's intention to have "long-term cooperation" with Xue's Company.

——This cooperation does not mean that I will stay in Xue’s Company as an alchemist for a long time, but in the future, when it comes to alchemy, I will give priority to cooperating with Xue’s Company.

"In the 'Mo Lin Immortal City' of the Wind and Fire Continent, my Xue's Company also has an alchemy workshop and has prepared a considerable amount of spiritual medicines..."

"Master Fu will go to Mo Lin Immortal City with the cultivators of my Xue's Trading Company through the inter-continental teleportation array in five years. At that time, you can also borrow the spiritual medicine of Mo Lin Immortal City to refine the Jade Condensation Pill."

Mrs. Xue took the initiative to suggest.

The status of Mo Lin Immortal City in Fenghuo Continent is similar to that of Wan Ling Immortal City. It is an important commercial center in Fenghuo Continent.

The cross-continental teleportation array of Wanling Immortal City leads directly to Molin Immortal City.

But, it is different from this.

In the Xue's Trading Company in Mo Lin Immortal City, the person at the helm is not the second branch, but the first branch of the Xue family.

Therefore, when she made this suggestion, not only did she intend to deeply bind Wei Tu to the chariot of Xue's Trading Company, she also intended to pave the way for Wei Tu.

"With what Madam said, I could have saved myself decades of hard training." Wei Tu understood and expressed his gratitude.

……

at the same time.

the other side.

On the Rising Sun Sea, which was as calm as death, a middle-aged monk in a Confucian robe, with a jade-like face and strange horns on his head suddenly descended from the sky. He was laughing and talking to a female monk with a feather crown beside him.

The spiritual pressure of the two was so strong that the surrounding monsters trembled in fear and fled away after sensing their aura.

But, just at the moment it approached the sea surface.

The middle-aged monk, who had been smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He fixed his gaze in a certain direction, and immediately turned into a rainbow light, quickly flying towards the depths of the Rising Sun Sea.

"Fellow Daoist Jiuyan, what happened?"

The female cultivator with a feather crown standing nearby was extremely surprised when she saw this. She also turned into a rainbow light and chased after him, sending a voice transmission to inquire.

She had known Lord Jiuyan for many years, but she had never seen him so angry.

But the next moment, she saw with her powerful spiritual sense that in the secret realm under the sea of ​​Rising Sun Sea, the Nine Flame Lord's villa had collapsed and turned into ruins.

Including the sixth-stage sea monkey beast that was guarding Beppu, it has disappeared without a trace at this moment.

“Who dares to be so bold as to kill your spiritual pet and destroy your cave?” The female cultivator with feather crown flew to the ruins of the secret realm, stood side by side with Lord Jiuyan, and said with a slight frown.

The reputation of the Six Combined Gods is known to everyone in the four continents of the spiritual world. Even the three powerful overlord races have to give them some face.

Therefore, she simply could not figure out who had the guts to go to such great lengths to humiliate Lord Jiuyan and thus earn the Lord's hatred.

"It's the Divine Ape Grass..."

"This person is here for the Divine Ape Grass."

Lord Jiuyan spoke in a cold voice, word by word.

"Divine Ape Grass? Fellow Daoist Jiuyan actually has a Divine Ape Grass in his hand?" Upon hearing this, the female cultivator with the feather cap was immediately surprised, and immediately understood the reason why her cave was destroyed.

There are not many rare treasures like the Divine Ape Grass in the entire spiritual world. In order to help the younger generations break through the fusion realm, some great monks have been working hard to find it.

If they knew that there was such a "rare treasure" in Lord Jiuyan's villa, it would be normal for them to sneak into the villa and steal the treasure, or even become a direct enemy of Lord Jiuyan.

However, what she couldn't understand was how this cultivator knew that there was the Divine Ape Grass in Lord Jiuyan's villa?

"The aura has been completely wiped out by the secret technique. It seems that the person who stole the treasure is extraordinary."

"At least he is a combined monk."

Lord Jiuyan flew to the ruins of the cave and after a careful search, his face became even colder.

He shouted angrily and waved his sleeves. Nine-colored flames burst out from his sleeves in an instant, burning the ruins of the cave in front of him into nothingness, leaving no residue at all.

"Has Brother Jiuyan leaked the secret of the divine ape grass hidden in the cave to others?" Seeing that Lord Jiuyan was furious, the monk with the feather crown asked in a serious tone.

"I have hosted many monks in this villa."

"The closest one was Master Chai from the Divine Fire Temple who came here as a guest 130 years ago, but he died in the Divine Wasteland several decades ago..."

Lord Jiuyan shook his head and said helplessly.

Hearing this, the Yuguan female cultivator also felt helpless. After all, Master Chai had always had a good reputation in the fusion circle, not to mention that this cultivator had been dead for decades and could not do evil.

"Even his son was killed by Su Xinzhai because of his many evil deeds. So, it is impossible that he is from the lineage of Master Chai." The female cultivator with the feather cap thought subconsciously.

"No! Your reminder is reasonable."

"It's still uncertain whether Chai Yuan is alive or dead. I didn't see the Taoist fall in the Divine Wasteland with my own eyes. Now that the Divine Ape Grass has been stolen, he is the biggest suspect!"

Lord Jiuyan's tone became cold again.

……

Wei Tu, who was far away in Wanling Fairy City, had no idea what was happening in the Rising Sun Sea.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

The reason is very simple - since Master Chai dared to go to Lord Jiuyan's villa to steal treasures, he must be confident that he can escape the pursuit of this powerful being.

As long as Master Chai is not caught, his identity as the real "treasure thief" will not be revealed.

To take a step back, even if Lord Jiuyan found out by chance that he was the one who stole the treasure, it would not be a big deal.

After all - with the cover of his vitality, his aura has never leaked out even a little bit, and now he is "hiding his identity", no matter how powerful Lord Jiuyan is, it is difficult for him to catch him.

the other side.

As time goes by.

The Blood-Winged Mok's breakthrough is also nearing completion, and clusters of calamity clouds have gathered above the cave where he is in seclusion.

And in the past few years, due to the "scarcity" of elixirs, Wei Tu only refined one batch of "Yu Ning Dan" and then fell into the situation where he had no more medicine to refine.

"The Blood-Winged Moke...is about to break through."

In the alchemy workshop of Xue's Trading Company, Wei Tu looked up at the calamity clouds in the sky. After sensing that the power of the calamity thunder within them had been nurtured to the extreme, he could not help but secretly say.

The words did not fade away in his mind.

Then there was a loud bang and purple thunder exploded in the sky, instantly striking the place where the Blood-Winged Mok was in seclusion.

"This kind of thunder power..."

"Master Fu's pet must be very talented."

The monks who were old acquaintances of Wei Tu were horrified and looked at the alchemy room where Wei Tu was with awe.

A sixth-order spiritual pet is already a very rare thing.

And a sixth-order spirit pet with extraordinary talent and a breakthrough that causes such a big commotion is even rarer and unheard of.

Then, who is Wei Tu, who owns such a spiritual pet? What is his identity?
I think... he is definitely not an ordinary alchemist! (End of this chapter)
