I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Wei Tu's pet's breakthrough to the realm of refining emptiness was big news in the small circle of Xue's Trading Company, but it was not worth mentioning in the huge Wanling Immortal City.

More than ten years ago, the services provided by the cave rented by Wei Tu included the use of a sixth-order formation to help cultivators resist the heavenly tribulation of the Void Refining Realm.

It can be seen how common it is to break through the realm of refining emptiness in Wanling Immortal City.

but--

When a true spirit shadow several hundred feet in size and resembling a blood-monkey suddenly appeared out of thin air during the tribulation vision, all the major forces in the Wanling Immortal City could no longer sit still.

"Is it a breakthrough by a demon beast with true spirit bloodline?"

"No! Judging from the signs, he looks like a pure-blood descendant? He may even be a higher level... a descendant of the True Spirit."

The top leaders of various major forces were communicating secretly among themselves, and when the words "descendants of the true spirit" were mentioned, a hint of greed appeared on many people's faces.

Each descendant of the True Spirit has the potential to grow to the seventh level. No matter how "degraded" their bloodline is, with the accumulation of time, they can still steadily reach the peak of the sixth level. They can be said to be naturally powerful spirit pets.

Even without considering its current cultivation potential, the real blood and fur on its body alone are several times more expensive than those of monsters of the same level.

Secondly, breeding with the bloodline of this true spirit will also be a continuous cash cow.

There is a lot of value to be mined!
"Sure enough! The thing I was most worried about happened."

At this moment, Wei Tu was both surprised and happy.

After ascending to the Divine Fire Fairyland, he read about various breakthrough experiences and cases from the Spirit Transformation to the Void Refining stage in the Qingling Sect.

Among them, of course, it also involves the special phenomenon that occurs when the descendants of the true spirit break through the sixth level, which is different from other monsters and alien races - the true spirit's phantom.

Each of the true spirits of heaven and earth is extremely powerful, with strength comparable to that of immortals and gods. Naturally, like the "spiritual zombies" in the human world, they also have their own "laws".

Moreover, because its realm is far beyond the fusion, the "True Spirit Law" it condenses covers far more than just one area or one place, but is integrated with the world laws of the spiritual world, becoming a part of the world laws of the spiritual world, covering the entire spiritual world...

Therefore - when a descendant of the True Spirit breaks through, the stronger his bloodline is, the more he can "resonate" with the True Spirit laws of his ancestors. Then, the True Spirit phantom that appears when he breaks through, and the range of the vision will be even more exaggerated!

After "resonance", these descendants of the true spirits will also receive blessings from their ancestors, further digging into the true spirit blood in their bodies, and awakening the memory inheritance hidden in their blood.

Of course, it is not only the descendants of the True Spirit who will receive this blessing from their ancestors when they break through the realm of refining emptiness.

The same is true for the descendants of some powerful monks.

For example, the thirty-six families of the human race in the spirit world...

Although the ancestor at the source of their bloodline was only at the Mahayana realm and was far from being able to integrate his own "laws" with the laws of the spiritual world, - as long as these children of aristocratic families could break through in the special "ancestral land", they could also possess this blessing from their ancestors in disguise.

Without exception, the "ancestral lands" of the thirty-six families were all located in the Holy Emperor Domain.

This is why, among the thirteen immortal realms, the Holy Emperor Realm can firmly suppress the other twelve immortal realms and has absolute ruling power over the other twelve immortal gates.

Compared with the other twelve fairy realms, its spiritual veins and blessed places are not ranked at the top.

But under the "blessings" of generations of Mahayana human beings, the Holy Emperor Domain is the only one that can become the ancestral land of the human race!

Now, the Blood-Winged Mok's powerful breakthrough vision will undoubtedly allow it to obtain more blessings from its ancestors and more benefits in the "resonance".

This is also what makes Wei Tu happy.

only--

Although treasures are good, they require a strong person to possess them!
At this moment, the Blood-Winged Mok was too dazzling and too prominent, which inevitably attracted the covetousness of those who were interested.

"With Tianpeng Pavilion here, no matter how bold those people are, they won't dare to take risks against me in Wanling Immortal City."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and stroked the half-broken ancient jade pendant hidden in his sleeve.

The descendants of the True Spirit do have a strong enough appeal to many forces, but for the "Tianpeng Pavilion" which is backed by the Leipeng clan, it is far from that point.

Now, with this token of Lord Yang Yu in hand, no matter what the Tianpeng Pavilion does, it will not sit idly by and watch him being "encircled and suppressed" by a group of forces.

This was also the important reason why he chose Wanling Fairy City as the breakthrough site for the Blood-Winged Mok.

With Yang Yujun as a backer——

It is much safer for the Blood-Winged Mok to break through in the Wanling Fairy City than to break through in the human territory.

Although the Holy Emperor Domain is good, due to the special nature of the "ancestral land", there are endless second-generation immortals. Once there is a greedy one who wants to seize the Blood-Winged Mok by relying on his background... I think he would not have a good way to deal with it at that time.

……

"Xue's Company, surnamed Fu, sixth-rank alchemist..."

"It seems that the descendant of the True Spirit who broke through this time is a pet of Master Fu..."

Soon, with the efforts of the top leaders of the major forces in Wanling Fairy City, all the information about Wei Tu's registration at the rental cave, as well as the intelligence about Wei Tu at Xue's Trading Company during this period, were presented to them in detail.

"Sixth-level Alchemist, it's a bit tricky."

Some forces were intimidated by Wei Tu's ability, and after thinking seriously for a moment, they had no choice but to let go.

But the major forces ranked in the top few positions are naturally not afraid of Wei Tu, a small "sixth-level alchemist".

In the world of immortality, strength is respected.

Although the resources and energy leveraged by the sixth-level alchemist are huge, it cannot cover up the fact that Wei Tu is only a cultivator in the early stage of refining emptiness.

However, the title of the sixth-rank alchemist still made them weigh the pros and cons, and they planned to package up Wei Tu, the blood-winged Mo, and the beast, and win them over and recapture them together.

After all - they intended to train the Blood-Winged Mok to the peak of the sixth level, or even to make it a seventh-level monster, rather than skinning and dismembering this descendant of the True Spirit as a one-time deal. They naturally did not want this future powerful fighter to have too many conflicts and hatreds with them.

"Besides this, does this cultivator have any other background?"

The usual caution prevented the top leaders of these major forces from acting rashly, and instead they conducted further in-depth investigations into Wei Tu.

But after this investigation.

Inevitably, Tianpeng Pavilion is involved.

It’s nothing, Wei Tu’s first stop after coming to Wanling Fairy City is Tianpeng Pavilion.

The gathering of various intelligence was carried out quietly in the prosperous and peaceful atmosphere of Wanling Fairy City.

Half a day later.

In Xue's Trading Company, there was an unexpected guest in the alchemy room where Wei Tu was working.

"Master Ji Dan?" Wei Tu was a little surprised. Looking at this white-haired old man with dark yellow skin who had been kind to him in recent years, his eyes flickered a few times.

"I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if Master Fu can help me." Master Ji sighed and bowed.

"Friend Ji, please speak frankly." Wei Tu smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, used his magic power to brew tea, and poured a cup for him and Master Ji respectively.

"Nothing important..."

"That's right... In recent years, I have been collecting spiritual medicines to refine the 'Qing Ping Dan'. This pill is of the sixth-grade upper grade. Once it is refined, it will allow me to break through the realm of alchemy and enhance my alchemy prestige. It can also help me to further improve my cultivation."

"It's just that after years of collecting, there is still a rare spiritual medicine. By chance, I found out that Tianpeng Pavilion has a collection of this spiritual medicine... Not long ago, I heard from the second wife that Master Fu is on good terms with a nobleman in Tianpeng Pavilion..."

"I wonder if Master Fu is willing to help me with this small favor?"

Master Ji Dan pleaded sincerely.

"A noble from Tianpeng Pavilion?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

If his guess was correct, this Master Ji Dan should be the "vanguard" sent by other forces to test his background.

There was no other reason. He didn't ask him for help earlier or later, but just when the Blood-Winged Mo was undergoing the tribulation and his true spirit shadow was revealed, he asked him for help. If you say there is no trick in this, he won't believe it.

Furthermore, although he and Master Ji Dan have been on good terms with each other in recent years, they have kept to themselves and are far from asking others for favors.

"This is easy to handle, but asking that noble man for help is difficult without spiritual crystals to pave the way."

Wei Tu took a sip of tea and said lightly.

The words fell.

Master Ji Dan frowned slightly, but when he thought about the fact that he couldn't catch the wolf without sacrificing his child, he generously took out a spirit crystal bag from his arms and handed it to Wei Tu.

"Two mid-grade spirit crystals?" Wei Tu swept the spirit crystal bag with his spiritual sense, but did not take it. Instead, he shook his head.

"Too little?" Master Ji Dan understood and realized that the money was not only for bribing the nobleman of Tianpeng Pavilion, but also included the kickbacks for Wei Tu.

Otherwise, why would Wei Tu waste his favors by helping him with things and running errands?
"The market price of the wood-grass flower is only seven mid-grade spirit crystals."

Master Ji Dan tried to bargain.

Wei Tu shook his head slightly and said nothing, just sipping his tea.

Seeing this, Master Ji Dan had no choice but to give in. His tone softened and he handed Wei Tu another spirit crystal bag.

The number of spirit crystals this time is much more than before, a total of five spirit crystals.

Adding the two middle-grade spirit crystals from before, the middle-grade spirit crystals that Master Ji Dan paid this time reached a sky-high price of seven middle-grade spirit crystals!

"Within half a month, Fu will give you a reply."

Wei Tu flicked his sleeves, took the two spirit crystal bags, and assured Master Ji Dan with certainty.

But as soon as these words fell——

What Master Ji Dan felt more than happy was a bit of anxiety.

"Thank you, Master Fu Dan."

Master Ji Dan bowed and thanked him with a look of gratitude.

……

Half a month passed in a flash.

During this period, the Blood-Winged Mo successfully survived the heavenly tribulation of refining emptiness and was promoted to a sixth-rank great demon.

Just because he was "blessed" by his ancestors, he is still digesting the fruit and has not come out to meet Wei Tu.

And within this half month, Wei Tu was finally sure that Master Ji Dan was the person sent by those malicious forces to test him.

He once secretly spied on Master Ji Dan meeting with the leaders of several major forces and they had a deep friendship.

“That’s right! Master Ji Dan is indeed the best chess piece to test whether my background is strong or not…” Wei Tu sneered secretly.

If he had not risen from humble beginnings and experienced countless attacks, he would have been hard to defend against this underhanded move.

After all, he did it in the name of helping others and did not show any malice from the beginning.

It is difficult to detect unless you are an experienced practitioner who has experienced many life and death trials.

“However, this is also a good thing.” Wei Tu weighed the spirit crystal bag in his hand several times, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This makes much more money than his hard work in refining elixirs.

a few days later.

Seeing that Wei Tu had not replied for a long time, Master Ji was happy but cautious. He quickly pretended to be angry and ran to Wei Tu's alchemy room to "seek confirmation."

"Master Fu, didn't you agree with me that you would give me a reply within half a month?"

"Why, half a month has passed, and there is still no news about that 'Muzhi Flower'?"

Master Ji Dan put on a questioning attitude.

"That plant of Muzhi Flower... I have already asked for it on behalf of Fellow Daoist Ji. However, there are only two plants of Muzhi Flower left in Tianpeng Pavilion, which is a scarce commodity. Coincidentally, the alchemist of Tianpeng Pavilion also needs to use this medicine to make pills in the near future..."

"So, it's naturally not appropriate to sell that wood-grass flower to outsiders for the time being, as it would cause criticism."

Wei Tu spoke out the prepared speech and explained.

"Two Ophiopogon japonicus plants..." Upon hearing this, Master Ye Dan's eyes could not help but flicker slightly. This number was exactly consistent with the information he knew. Obviously, Wei Tu did not doubt him and really went to Tianpeng Pavilion to ask for Ophiopogon japonicus plants.

However, what puzzled him was which "noble person" from Tianpeng Pavilion Wei Tu was praying to, and why was he so silent.

Why haven't those forces investigated it yet?
"It seems that I have no chance to get this wood-growth flower." Master Ji Dan shook his head and sighed, intending to end this test.

The fact that Wei Tu knew the exact number of Ophiopogon japonicus flowers was enough to prove that he had a close relationship with the "noble man" of Tianpeng Pavilion.

With Tianpeng Pavilion around, at least in Wanling Fairy City, the leaders of those major forces will not have any plans to take Wei Tu's pet for the time being.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ji. I have already discussed with that nobleman. It is not difficult to obtain the Muzhi flower. We just need to take care of the alchemist who intends to use the Muzhi flower to make pills..."

Wei Tu stopped Master Ji Dan and told him that he didn't have to give up and could still try.

"Are you serious?" Upon hearing this, Master Ji Dan's heart moved and he was quite tempted.

What he said before, that he wanted to refine the sixth-grade top-grade elixir "Qing Ping Dan" was not false, but he just lacked the elixir "Muzhi Flower"...

If Wei Tu really had the means to get a "Muzhi Flower" from Tianpeng Pavilion, then it wouldn't take him too long to gather enough complete elixir to refine "Qingping Dan", and there would be great hope.

Wei Tu smiled but said nothing.

Upon seeing this, Master Ji Dan did not hesitate, and immediately took out a spirit crystal bag from his arms with great pain and handed it to Wei Tu.

"Here are ten middle-grade spirit crystals. Three are used to bribe the alchemist, and seven are used to buy the wood-growing flower. I hope that Master Fu can help me a lot..."

Master Ji Dan pleaded with Wei Tu, and his words were more sincere than before.

After all, the last time it was the leaders of the major forces who paid the money, but this time, it was his savings.

“Of course.” Wei Tu took the spirit crystal bag and assured again.

But this time, he didn't give Master Ji Dan a specific period.

Master Ji Dan didn't care much about it.

Wei Tu is already a sixth-rank alchemist of Xue's Company. He has huge interests in Xue's Company and Wanling Immortal City, and it is impossible for him to leave Wanling Immortal City in a short period of time...

Therefore, he was not worried at all that Wei Tu would embezzle the spiritual crystals.

Because the price of "defection" is far greater for Wei Tu than these ten mid-grade spirit crystals.

however--

What Master Ji didn't know was that not long after he left Wei Tu's alchemy room, a day or two later, the light blue communication talisman that Wei Tu was wearing on his body began to glow brightly.

The day of teleportation agreed upon with Tianpeng Pavilion is approaching!

"The spiritual crystals gifted by Master Ji Dan include one more than the total number of sixteen spiritual crystals... It seems that there is no need to sell the Jade Condensation Pill or other spiritual objects to collect spiritual crystals."

Wei Tu thought to himself as he flew out of the Xue's alchemy shop and headed straight for his rented cave in Wanling Fairy City. (End of this chapter)
