I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"How about... sticking with the original plan?"

"Just turn against us and capture the little girl from the Snow Infant Clan. Let's see what happens after searching her soul?"

Seeing that the cultivators had no clue, Master Jianyang, who had the strongest murderous nature, showed a cold look on his face and spoke in a firm voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the old monk Xuanku frowned, shook his head, clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and rejected the proposal.

The reason is simple: now that they have seized the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, they have both the face and the substance, so there is no need to start a dispute and make the outcome of this trip "unpredictable."

"Besides, you and I can merge to escape, but what about these young people in the Void Refining Realm? The previous agreement to "fall out" also presupposes that these young people will find it difficult to escape from the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, and the losses are too great... This move is just to make up for the loss."

The old monk Xuanku sighed lightly and pointed out the fatal flaw in Master Jianyang’s proposal - the issue of casualties.

Fighting to the death is satisfying, but once the combined battle begins, how many of the Void-Refining Monks from the Three Mountains Taoist Sect and the Blood Stone Sect who have come to participate in the "Sword Fighting Conference" will be able to return safely to the human area?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingzi and the leader of the Blood Stone Sect looked at each other, and then began to agree with the old monk Xuan Ku.

Especially the leader of the Bloodstone Sect - the Bloodstone Sect has a small family and a small business, and the Bloodstone Sect's cultivators who came here with him are all the well-deserved elites and backbones of the Bloodstone Sect. He could hardly forgive himself for wasting the lives of these disciples just to verify the so-called "guesses" of these fusion cultivators.

"Well." Master Jianyang could not go against the crowd's opinion. Seeing this scene, he could only sigh and give up his proposal.

……

the other side.

On the alien side, when the leader of the Snow Infant Tribe learned from Xue Qiongyu that the "Xianxu Order" had been taken away by Wei Tu, he was dismayed and, like Master Jianyang, began to think of "falling out".

However, fearing the powerful strength of the human race and the huge price Xue Qiongyu paid for breaking her oath, he could only give up this idea reluctantly after a moment of uncertainty.

"Fortunately, Yu'er signed the 'Blood Curse Secret Book' with this Wei Tu. With this contract, this Dinghai Immortal Ruins... my Snow Infant Clan can also get a share of it."

He comforted himself secretly.

At the same time, subconsciously, the leader of the Snow Infant Clan developed a strong curiosity about Wei Tu and wanted to take a glimpse of the background of this man who had single-handedly gained the greatest benefits from the two major forces, the Jingwang Society and the Snow Infant Clan.

"This boy is extraordinary. In the future, he will surely become famous in the spiritual world." Granny Tu shook her head and sighed, commenting.

"Is this Wei Tu really that powerful?"

The Snow Infant Tribe leader frowned and glanced at Wei Tu, who was standing behind Jiang Lingzi in the distance.

He looked relaxed and composed, as if he had no psychological burden of deceiving his fellow tribesmen. He was like an outsider who knew nothing.

"Not to mention her magical powers, just the character of this child is not that of an ordinary person." The Snow Infant tribe leader thought to himself that his daughter's failure was understandable.

"I just don't know, who is better, this boy or Pei Hong?" Suddenly, this thought came to his mind.

The reason for this comparison is that, firstly, Wei Tu, like Pei Hong, is in the realm of refining emptiness and is a genius of a great family. Secondly, it is because Pei Hong and Jiang Lingzi have had a "grudge" for many years... Coincidentally, Wei Tu also belongs to Dangyang Mountain and is a descendant of Jiang Lingzi.

He asked his daughter Xue Qiongyu, who had been on a diplomatic mission to the Mist Ghost Clan on his behalf, and had met Pei Hong, the "holy son" and fiancé of the Mist Ghost Clan, in the clan's holy land.

When it comes to understanding Pei Hong, no one in the Xueying tribe can compare to Xue Qiongyu.

"Although Wei Tu is powerful, he is still far inferior to Pei Hong."

Xue Qiongyu frowned slightly and spoke up to defend her future husband, even though she and Pei Hong had no feelings for each other.

Besides, in her opinion, this was also true.

Although Pei Hong lags behind Jiang Lingzi and has not yet broken through to the fusion realm, he is only one step away from reaching the fusion realm and will be able to break through soon.

From this point of view, Pei Hong seems to be inferior to Jiang Lingzi?
But...Weitu is not the same as Jiang Lingzi!

No matter how bad Pei Hong is, he is not worse than someone in the early stage of Refinement Void.

Facing Pei Hong——

Wei Tu was afraid that he would never be able to catch up.

……

The story of the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm is solved.

The Snow Infant Clan led the other foreign cultivators and took the lead in leaving. According to the previous agreement, they handed over the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm to the Blood Stone Sect for handling.

After waiting for the leader of the Blood Stone Sect to replace the forbidden formation of the secret realm, Wei Tu and the others, under the leadership of the powerful men from various families, returned to the mountain gate of the Blood Stone Sect.

As a helper of "assisting fist".

During the few days of rest at the Blood Stone Gate, Wei Tu not only received courtesy from the Blood Stone Gate, but also received a generous thank-you gift from the Blood Stone Gate.

A total of ten mid-grade spirit crystals!

This further enriched his foundation in the first realm of refining emptiness.

Taking this opportunity, Wei Tu also took the opportunity to ask the Blood Stone Sect to buy the sixth-level elixir.

With Jiang Lingzi around, the Xueshimen will definitely not reject Wei Tu, even if it means giving face to the monk or the Buddha.

Furthermore, from a business perspective, Wei Tu was not taking the Blood Stone Sect’s elixir for free; he was looking to purchase it.

A few days later, when Wei Tu followed Jiang Lingzi to leave the Blood Stone Gate and return to the "Holy Emperor Domain", he had two more complete elixirs for refining the "Yu Ning Dan".

Together with the "Yu Ning Dan" he had refined before, in the next one or two hundred years, except for him, the Blood-Winged Mo Dang would not have to worry about the expenses of this pill.

half a month later.

Wei Tu followed Jiang Lingzi back to Dangyang Mountain.

What surprised him a little was that the deaths of Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou did not cause any disturbance in Dangyang Mountain.

Dangyang Mountain is still the same Dangyang Mountain.

Wei Tu thought about this for a long time and could only attribute it to the fact that Dangyang Mountain had too strong a foundation. The death of two Void Refining monks could not hurt the strength of the Three Mountain Sects of Dangyang Mountain.

However, considering the power of the Jingwang Society, Wei Tu continued to "stay at home" as before in the following days, patiently waiting for the arrival of the body-refining elixir in the Human Ancestor Temple.

There is no doubt that the merits he gained from killing the Fire Sheep Clan's Lianxu have exceeded the number he could exchange for a sixth-grade body-refining elixir.

Three months later.

"Elder Lan", an old acquaintance of Jiang Lingzi, knocked on the door of Wei Tu's cave and delivered this spiritual medicine to Wei Tu.

"This time, if Junior Brother Wei can successfully break through the sixth level of body refinement and enter the Human Ancestor Hall, it will be a sure thing."

Elder Lan smiled and congratulated Wei Tu in advance.

"This is all thanks to Senior Jiang Lingzi's support."

Wei Tu remained humble as always and replied with a faint smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

After a while, Elder Lan looked embarrassed and asked Wei Tu about the details of how Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou were killed in the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm.

"These two are not strangers. Their friends and fellow disciples have been asking about this matter... so that they can seek revenge on the alien race that killed them in the future... If Junior Brother Wei has any clues, please speak up. It will also be considered as helping Dangyang Mountain."

Elder Lan bowed and spoke sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself, "It's finally here." The King Jing's test of him has finally come!

certainly--

At the moment, King Jing does not know that Ye Ya was killed by him. He probably just wants to get some useful clues and information from his "companion".

However, no one knew that Elder Lan was a monk from the Jingwang Society, or was simply being used as a gun.

He paused and said what he had prepared long ago:
"I had intended to contact Fairy Ye and Fellow Daoist Zhuang when they entered the Stone Cocoon Secret Realm, but unfortunately, they never responded to me... And I was also injured after killing Lianxu from the Fire Sheep Clan, so I dared not wander around..."

"If I had known earlier... Fairy Ye and Fellow Daoist Zhuang would pass away during this trip, I would never have sat back and watched this happen."

These words were the same as what Jiang Lingzi said when he returned to Dangyang Mountain to report on his work. Elder Lan would not think that Wei Tu was lying.

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he continued to ask: "Brother Wei, do you really have no other clues here?"

Wei Tu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Seeing this, Elder Lan could only sigh and end the topic.

Half a day later.

Elder Lan was escorted out of the cave by Wei Tuli.

"Since Wei Tu doesn't know about the deaths of Ye Ya and Zhuang Changyou... then these two must have died at the hands of the Snow Infant Clan." He thought to himself, his eyes flickering.

After thinking about this, he did not hesitate. After returning to the cave, he disguised himself and sneaked down the mountain to report the truth to the top leaders of Jingwang Society, especially Ye Ya's Taoist companion, "King of Minglun".

It was difficult for Wei Tu, who was practicing in the cave, to know all these things.

After Elder Lan left, he immediately used magic to break the restrictions on the Qiankun bag and took out the "level-breaking elixir" stored in it.

The restrictions on the Qiankun bag were placed by Jiang Lingzi. Except for special spells, they can be removed by other cultivators. If they touch it randomly, he, the "recipient", can see it at a glance.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about Elder Lan causing trouble.

"Is it the 'Rhinoceros Dragon Vine'?"

Wei Tu opened the jade box that contained the spiritual medicine for breaking through the rank. After seeing the true appearance of the spiritual medicine inside, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Rhinoceros Dragon Vine is a rare sixth-grade intermediate spiritual medicine, worth dozens of intermediate spiritual crystals, and it is in short supply.

“What an opportunity!”

“If I hadn’t been lucky enough to help Jiang Lingzi in the lower world and ruin the plan of the Mist Ghost Clan... this time, even if I killed two more Fire Sheep Clan Lianxu, it would be difficult to exchange for this “Rhinoceros Dragon Vine” with my merit points..." Wei Tu thought with some relief.

When he was in the lower world, the merits he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and others gained in the "War between the Two Races" were actually distributed several times by the Human Ancestor Temple, and the merits he gained were far more than those of the cultivators in the spiritual world.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl were able to ascend successfully. Otherwise, this item would be just a verbal check.

"I wonder...when will Miss Shui break through?"

Wei Tu thought secretly, hoping that this old friend who ascended with him would get what he wanted.

……

The spiritual medicine for body refining and breakthrough is already in place.

Wei Tu will not waste any more time.

After hanging up the "retreat sign" outside the cave, he immediately began to prepare for a breakthrough inside the cave.

Of course - before breaking through, he also released the iron-poison flying ants in the insect room, letting them devour the "golden marrow insects" and trying to break through to the sixth level and become a sixth-level spiritual insect.

After preparing all this.

Wei Tu then began to swallow the "Rhino Dragon Vine" and tried his best to reach the sixth level of body refining.

"Previously, the body training was mostly about hammering the flesh, making the body tougher and stronger than that of the immortal cultivators... but in essence, it was not much of a breakthrough..."

"However, once you reach the sixth level of body refinement, things are completely different. This is a true transition in the essence of life..."

"A trace of true spirit power is born in the body. From then on, the life level can gradually rival those true spirits of heaven and earth. The offspring born can also become the descendants of true spirits."

There was a hint of desire in Wei Tu's eyes.

Why are the three hegemonic clans so powerful, and why can they give birth to powerful cultivators who can transcend the tribulation realm?
This is inseparable from the many "ancient monks" in their clan!

It can be said that every cultivator of the Feathered Dragon Clan, Ghost Phoenix Clan, and Divine Armor Clan is basically a powerful "descendant of the True Spirit".

The ancestors of these three tribes were not born as true spirits, but after years of practice, as ancient cultivators, they gradually became powerful "true spirits", and the source blood in their bodies was comparable to the real true spirits of heaven and earth...

Naturally, the descendants born by the ancestors of the three tribes became the so-called "descendants of the true spirits" and they had a strong foundation and background from the moment they were born.

You know, from practicing Qi to practicing emptiness, with the help of his "late bloomer" fate, Wei Tu has become a genius in the eyes of the human race...

And yet, in terms of the initial "foundation", Wei Tu was actually no match for the Blood-Winged Mok, who had broken through without the help of elixir.

Of course, not every descendant of the Feathered Dragon Clan, Ghost Phoenix Clan, and Divine Armor Clan has a foundation comparable to that of the "Descendant of the True Spirit" such as the Blood-Winged Mok, but... you have to know that these three clans are one clan, not individual beings like the True Spirits of Heaven and Earth, which can be counted on one hand.

"The Path-Forging Immortal Origin Scripture is a body-refining technique passed down by the Yulong Clan. As long as I practice along this path, I will be no less accomplished than the ancient cultivators of the Yulong Clan..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath, took out the "Rhinoceros Dragon Vine" from the jade box, and used magic to inject it into his ribs.

At the ribs, there is his "first spiritual bone".

This bone is equivalent to the "Nascent Soul" of a cultivator and is the foundation of a body cultivator.

But as this medicine enters the body.

The next moment, a look of pain appeared on Wei Tu's face, as if he was experiencing some kind of torture.

His whole body was tense and red like a shrimp.

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

This was the only feeling left in Wei Tu's mind. He gritted his teeth, stayed awake, and urged the medicinal power of the "Rhinoceros Dragon Vine" to flow and wash over his body.

Through his spiritual consciousness, he could clearly see that under the effect of the "Rhinoceros Dragon Vine", every inch of his flesh and blood, every inch of his bones, were being broken and reshaped.

And at this moment, the reshaped "flesh and blood" and "bones" gradually began to emit a golden luster.

His aura became unusually strong, and every drop of blood, every bone, and every piece of flesh were countless times stronger than those of an ordinary cultivator.

"That is……"

"Descendant of the True Spirit?"

"No! It's the master! It's the master who is about to break through."

In the spirit beast room of the cave, the blood-winged mole who had swallowed the "Jade Condensation Pill" and practiced in seclusion also sensed at this moment that Wei Tu's origin was as powerful as hers. (End of this chapter)
