I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Seeing that Wei Tu was willing to negotiate, Xue Qiongyu, who had been on high alert, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

This time, in order to successfully seize the "Xianxu Order" in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, the Snow Infant Clan spent countless costs and resources, and even lost a fellow tribesman not long ago... If she went back naked like this, given her status, she would probably have a hard time explaining to her clan.

Nowadays, it’s best to be able to negotiate.

If armed struggle fails, diplomatic struggle is also a feasible option.

"When I was in the Golden Marrow Palace, I told Fellow Daoist Wei about the preciousness of the Immortal Ruins Order."

"It is difficult for us to know the character of Fellow Daoist Wei, and whether he will choose to hand over this treasure to the human race. But... I and Yu'er know that keeping this treasure for future use should be the most beneficial choice for Fellow Daoist Wei..."

Granny Tu's spirit floated out of Xue Qiongyu's body, and she smiled slightly on her wrinkled old face.

She had seen many cultivators who sacrificed themselves for the public good, but they were all those who stepped forward when their tribes or forces were in crisis, rather than those who took the initiative to hand over their own "immortal fate"...

The latter seems a bit "stupid", which is rare in the entire spiritual world.

At the very least, it is difficult to cultivate all the way to the realm of refining emptiness and remain immortal and intact.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, and with an idea in his mind, he could roughly guess what the "conditions" proposed by this old lady butcher were.

It is nothing more than the right to use the "Xianxu Order".

But he pretended not to know and waited for Granny Tu to speak up and propose the corresponding conditions.

Granny Tu did not hesitate and said bluntly:
"Every three thousand years, the Immortal Ruins Order allows the cultivator holding this order to enter the Dinghai Immortal Ruins and seek immortal fate."

"However, the Immortal Ruins Order does not have a strict limit on the number of cultivators who can enter Dinghai Immortal Ruins..."

"My intention is to buy a quota from Fellow Daoist Wei. From now on, the cultivators of our clan will enter Dinghai Xianxu together with Fellow Daoist Wei."

"In this way, Brother Wei will not only be able to obtain a share of the benefits offered by our clan, but will also be able to prevent the secret of secretly seizing the "Xianxu Order" from being leaked and known to the outside world."

Granny Tu said this half in a tempting and half threatening way.

In order to restrict the development of the human race, a hostile race, the Snow Infant Clan will not report the secret of Wei Tu's acquisition of the "Xianxu Order" to the human high-level officials, but... she has not forgotten that Wei Tu now has an enemy in the Jingwang Society.

Wei Tu naturally understood what this meant.

Although he was not afraid of the Jing Wang Meeting, and had also thought about how to use the Human Ancestor Temple to protect his own safety, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him if he could avoid this incident from happening as much as possible.

As for the so-called agreement with the Snow Infant Tribe...

He doesn't mind regretting it later, as long as he can delay it for a day, it's better.

It's a pity that Granny Tu had already anticipated this "loophole". When she saw that Wei Tu seemed to agree, she immediately asked Xue Qiongyu to take out a golden page that looked eerie.

Wei Tu naturally recognized this spooky golden page. It was a higher-level contracted spiritual object in the spiritual world than the "Heavenly and Dark True Page" - the Blood Curse Secret Book.

Once the oath is sworn in this "Blood Curse Secret Book", unless an immortal who has transcended tribulation spends a huge price to break the oath, even the most powerful cultivator will have to endure the huge backlash for violating the oath.

The value of this page of "Blood Curse Secret Book" alone is comparable to that of a sixth-grade mid-grade spiritual treasure.

It can be seen that the Snow Infant Clan had been well prepared for their visit to this "Turtle Belly Space" this time.

Even if they fail to snatch the Immortal Ruins Order, they will use this "Blood Curse Secret Book" to force the monks of the Jingwang Society to swear an oath to share the Immortal Ruins Order.

However, as he successfully killed Ye Ya and snatched the Immortal Ruins Order, the person to be chosen for the oath fell on his head.

"Sign or not?"

Wei Tu's eyes flickered and he was hesitant.

Although the content of the oath was strictly restricted, the only Snow Infant cultivator who could enter Dinghai Xianxu in the future was Xue Qiongyu, who was in the early stage of Refining Void and whose realm was not much different from his...but unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to fight with Xue Qiongyu, a "second-generation immortal" whose foundation he did not know.

This time, Xue Qiongyu brought a "Golden Snake Scissors" magic treasure to fight. Who knows if she will bring a Tongtian magic treasure next time? Or other more powerful means? After all, this woman's background is far more than just the Snow Infant Clan, there is also the Fog Ghost Clan, her husband's family.

Secondly——

There is a huge difference between enjoying the Immortal Ruins alone and sharing it with others.

No matter how generous he is, he will not give up this benefit.

But soon, Wei Tu's selfish intention was ruthlessly torn apart by Granny Tu.

He said frankly that there were far more than one "Xianxu Order" of Dinghai Xianxu in Wei Tu's hand. There were more than ten "Xianxu Orders" that could be found in the spiritual world, and they were scattered among various major forces.

There was no need for him to be on high alert against Xue Qiongyu.

"In addition, if Fellow Daoist Wei is worried that my Snow Infant Clan will change its ways, you can also add a corresponding restrictive clause to this blood curse secret book..."

"Daoyou Wei, you can rest assured. The Snow Infant Clan has no desire for the treasures on you, except for the Immortal Ruins Order."

"Besides, I also know that Fellow Daoist Wei is not someone you can easily deal with."

Granny Tu sighed lightly and continued.

Although the meaning of this statement was obscure, Wei Tu still understood it.

——The Snow Infant Clan was not interested in this poor guy like him. The only thing they were interested in was the "Xianxu Order". After he was willing to share it, they no longer coveted it.

In addition to being "poor", he is also "arrogant"!
Unless it is necessary, the Snow Infant Clan will not provoke him.

Even though he was looked down upon, Wei Tu still felt a lot more relieved after hearing these words. He counted the "methods" he had revealed on this trip, and there were indeed not many that could interest the Snow Infant Clan.

Of course, this was also related to his preparation for a rainy day, as he had never used any magical treasures related to the Fairy Xuanling to fight.

Otherwise - the current Snow Infant Clan would probably no longer pursue the illusory "Dinghai Fairy Ruins" so much, but would instead plan to dig deep into him.

"Wei agrees to this deal."

"But... the terms must clearly state that the Snow Infant Clan is not allowed to attack Wei, whether outside or inside Dinghai Xianxu... and must protect Wei when necessary."

"Of course, this is based on the premise that Wei does not take the initiative to attack the Snow Infant Clan cultivators."

Wei Tu's eyes flashed and he spoke eloquently.

"No matter inside or outside Dinghai Xianxu, you are not allowed to attack Wei Tu?" Hearing this, Xue Qiongyu frowned slightly. She has not forgotten the hatred of her own clan and plans to take revenge on Wei Tu in the future.

Once this treaty was signed, she would inevitably be "tied up".

However, after a little thought, she no longer worried about the "harshness" of this clause and nodded in agreement.

It's not that she has the ability to violate the "Blood Curse Secret Book", but compared with the "immortal fate" of Dinghai Immortal Ruins, the restrictions of this clause on her and the Snow Infant Clan are really not worth mentioning.

She couldn't imagine that, apart from this blood feud between her own clan, would she have any other reason to kill Wei Tu in the future?
Willingness reached.

The two men standing face to face on the Giant Turtle Stone Mountain made eye contact, and then without hesitation, they bit their fingertips, squeezed out a drop of blood, and injected it into the page of the "Blood Curse Secret Book" floating in the air, which was filled with ghostly aura.

The next moment, the "Blood Curse Secret Book" split into two, each turning into a blood-red ghost head, which fell on the top of the two people's heads. Its spiritual light flashed slightly, and then it escaped into the sea of ​​consciousness of Wei Tu and Xue Qiongyu.

Soon, Wei Tu and Xue Qiongyu felt that they were bound by an extra layer of oath.

There is also a feeling that if you break your oath, you will pay a heavy price.

“I wonder if the life force... can cover up the rules of this oath?” Wei Tu vaguely realized that his life force seemed to have a certain inhibitory effect on this kind of contracted spiritual creature.

But this is normal. His life force can eliminate his "trajectory" in the world, so what can the "restraint" of a contracted spirit creature do?
"This is the benefit I promised you just now."

"The rest will be given to you after you follow me to Dinghai Xianxu..."

Xue Qiongyu groaned, took out a Qiankun bag from his sleeve and threw it to Wei Tu.

Next, she looked at Wei Tu deeply, said nothing more, flicked her sleeves, and aroused the spiritual power that had been lingering on the blood-red cloak for a long time, and disappeared on the Stone Turtle Mountain.

……

"They seized the Immortal Ruins Order from the Snow Infant Clan and then... shared it with me. Did Xue Qiongyu and Granny Tu do it on purpose, or were they forced to do so?"

After Xue Qiongyu left, Wei Tu touched his chin and thought secretly.

From the conversation just now, he felt that although the "deal" between him and these two people was due to the situation, it seemed that there was also a certain degree of selfishness.

After all, if this Immortal Ruins Order fell into the hands of the Snow Infant Clan, the cultivator who entered the Dinghai Immortal Ruins would definitely be a powerful fusion cultivator like the Snow Infant Clan leader, rather than Xue Qiongyu, a minor cultivator at the Void Refinement stage...

Now, although Xue Qiongyu seems humiliated to share it with him, the benefits actually fall on Xue Qiongyu alone.

And for the sake of the immortal fate of Dinghai Xianxu.

The Snow Infant Clan also got it, and continued to support the young clan leader Xue Qiongyu.

"not my business."

Wei Tu shook his head and casually put the Xianxu Order into his storage bag without paying too much attention to it.

Firstly, the opening day of Dinghai Xianxu is at least hundreds of years away from now, so there is no need to rush.

Second, the opportunity of the Immortal Ruins is too elusive, there is no need to pursue it deliberately. Although it is fortunate to get it, there is no need to be too sad if you lose it.

On the contrary, a part of the human race's upward path has already been revealed to him. As long as he practices diligently and schemes hard, it is not unimaginable to achieve integration after a thousand years.

"Next, it's the nine-orifice stone man."

"I just don't know which force has taken the Nine-Aperture Stone Man after so much time has passed."

Wei Tu counted the time and thought to himself.

He had been in the turtle's belly space for more than twenty days, and there were only less than five or six days left before the one-month period agreed upon by the two major forces.

At this time, it is conceivable that the outcome of the battle over the "Nine-Aperture Stone Man" in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm has probably been decided.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu pondered for a moment, then randomly found a cave nearby, meditated in seclusion, and waited for the final arrival of a month.

This time, the human cultivators entering the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm have two tasks: one, to kill as many alien cultivators as possible, and two, to snatch the Nine-Aperture Stone Man.

The "Stone Spirit Cocoon" in the secret realm is a dispensable thing.

Although this item is precious, it is not worth mentioning compared to the life and death of a cultivator of the Void Refining Realm and the gains and losses of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man.

Before entering the turtle's belly, he had already killed a Fire Sheep Clan cultivator and completed a demanding task, so he no longer needed to work hard.

Five days passed quickly.

When the time came, a huge space crack appeared in the sky above the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm.

Wei Tu did not hesitate. In an instant, he slipped into the space crack, left the stone cocoon secret realm, and then stood obediently behind Jiang Lingzi.

This time, after careful counting, there were only six human cultivators left who had come out with him.

"Four disciples of the Void Refining Stage were killed." The Bloodstone Sect's leader said in a low voice with a slightly ugly expression.

This time, the monks of the Three Mountains Sect nominally came to help the Bloodstone Sect—the Nine-Aperture Stone Man they had captured also belonged to the Bloodstone Sect. Therefore, with so many monks dead, the Bloodstone Sect should have contributed a large portion of the compensation.

This inevitably made him feel very painful. After all, each of the Void-Refining Monks of the Three Mountains Sect was not cheap.

"Are all the people in Dangyang Mountain dead except Wei Tu?" Jiang Lingzi also frowned deeply, his face gloomy.

But soon, as Wei Tu took out the corpse of Lianxu from the Fire Sheep Clan, his expression returned to normal.

Although many monks from Dangyang Mountain died, Wei Tu also earned face for him by killing a cultivator of an alien race!
——This time, the number of Void-Refining Monks lost by the alien race was equal to that of the human race, which was as many as four!
But apart from the monks from Wenjian Mountain who made great gains and killed two people, the Lianxu monks from Puxian Mountain and Xueshimen did not kill even a single monk from another race.

"Who killed that Snow Infant Clan monk?"

The leader of the Bloodstone Sect asked with a frown.

Four alien monks died, but only three bodies were taken out by the human monks. As for the remaining body, no one has yet "given up" it, which seems too strange.

It has always been the monks who take credit.

He had never seen a monk who avoided talking about his achievements and was willing to become a hermit.

Seeing that Wei Tu and his group of refining masters did not answer, Jiang Lingzi, Master Jianyang and other powerful combined masters immediately frowned and said "not good" in their hearts, realizing that other incidents must have occurred in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm this time.

The target of these alien races was not the "Nine-Aperture Stone Man", but something else.

The nine-hole stone man is just a cover.

"Have you ever seen Xue Qiongyu?" Master Jianyang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked the disciple from Wenjian Mountain who had snatched away the Nine-Aperture Stone Man.

No surprises.

All the disciples of Wenjian Mountain shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen Xue Qiongyu.

The leading disciple of Wenjian Mountain even said frankly that he had been on guard against Xue Qiongyu, but unexpectedly, Xue Qiongyu never showed up from beginning to end to help the foreign cultivators snatch the "Nine-Aperture Stone Man".

"There must be something fishy about this matter!"

Upon seeing this, Master Jianyang said with certainty.

However - without exception, Jiang Lingzi, Master Jianyang and other great masters ignored Wei Tu. No one cared, and no one asked, why Wei Tu did not participate in the battle for the "Nine-Aperture Stone Man".

It was because Wei Tu was a "newcomer"! He had just been promoted to the Refining Void Realm and was a "newcomer" to the Holy Emperor Domain. It was impossible for him to know about the conspiracy of the alien race and personally participate in the conspiracy of the alien race.

He was able to kill a foreign cultivator, which was already a great contribution. Even if they doubted him, they couldn't let the hero down! (End of this chapter)
