I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

“Kill quickly…” Wei Tu hesitated and was indecisive.

Colluding with the Snow Infant Clan, a hostile alien race, is a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan.

At the moment, listening to Xue Qiongyu's words, it would undoubtedly be most beneficial for him to kill Xue Hua's siblings and Madam Xue Er in time.

However, he and Madam Xue were old friends, and she took good care of him when they were in Wanling Fairy City. Although this kind of care was meant to win him over, the relationship between them could be described as "friends."

Today, being ruthless and cruel is difficult to live up to his beliefs.

“Secondly, Xue Qiongyu’s intention is probably more of a test rather than asking me to eradicate the problem completely and prevent future troubles…” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and stroked the letter in his hand.

As long as he doesn't decipher the "Blood Curse Secret Book", he and Xue Qiongyu will be inseparable allies.

As allies, what they fear most is naturally the allies breaking their promises and betraying them.

It is true that he and Xue Qiongyu are a "forced alliance", but no matter who they are, they will be afraid that the other party is a complete villain.

“Being indecisive is a quality that can make allies try to trust you…” Wei Tu shook his head secretly, flipped his hand, and put the talisman into the storage bag.

Mrs. Xue, who was standing opposite Wei Tu, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wei Tu's face turn from gloomy to bright.

With her many years of experience in business, she could guess how "dangerous" it was to meet Wei Tu on this trip.

Fortunately - she was not wrong about Wei Tu. Back then, Wei Tu was able to bring that "burden" Golden Silkworm Snow Girl with him across two continents to the Holy Emperor Domain of the human race to meet Jiang Lingzi. His personal qualities were undoubtedly excellent.

"I have an unreasonable request, and I hope Master Wei Dan can agree to it..." Madam Xue was hesitant at first, but then she knelt on the ground as if she had made up her mind, and bowed deeply to Wei Tu.

"Madam, please tell me what's going on."

Wei Tu frowned secretly, and asked with a slightly cold face without supporting Madam Xue who was kneeling and bowing in front of him.

No matter whether one is in the mortal world or in the world of immortals, if someone suddenly performs great courtesy to someone, it means that he or she must be asking for something.

Because of their friendship, he did not listen to Xue Qiongyu and kill Madam Xue and Xue Hua.

But he thought to himself: the relationship was not close enough to the point where I could ask him to beg for favors to get me to do something big.

But soon, as Madam Xue spoke, his expression eased slightly.

The woman's request was not outrageous. She just hoped that he could help open the human race's cross-continental teleportation array so that she and Xue Hua could go to Lei Ze Continent to escape the disaster.

At this moment in Mo Lin Immortal City, Madam Xue would not go back easily no matter what.

"Of course, I will not let Master Wei Dan work in vain to open the intercontinental teleportation array. After returning to Wanling Fairy City, I am willing to pay Master Wei Dan twice the market price for all the expenses..."

Madam Xue said again.

As soon as these words fell.

Wei Tu was immediately very excited.

As a monk of the Human Ancestor Temple, he was qualified to use the human race's inter-immortal realm teleportation array to travel to other continents, and it was often only a cost price...

If it's twice the market price, he will make a lot of profit.

What’s more, it’s double the market price!

But after thinking for a moment, Wei Tu shook his head and refused.

"If it's just me, we can't use the inter-continental teleportation array of the human race. But... Madam, Mr. Xue, and Miss Xue are all from other races, so it's inevitable that we will violate the taboos of the human race..."

“If Madam, Mr. Xue and Miss Xue just want to avoid the Snow Infant Clan, I, Wei, still have some power within the human race and can provide shelter for the three of you.” Wei Tu made a feasible suggestion.

This move is also beneficial to him!

Madam Xue and the other two knew about the "deal" between him and the Snow Infant Clan. Although they couldn't kill him, keeping him under their noses was also a solution.

Of course, he could also forcibly erase the memories of these three people, but that would basically end their path, which would only be slightly better than death.

This was almost unacceptable to the three people who controlled the Xue family business and possessed a large amount of cultivation resources.

“When the time comes, I will send the three of you to Lei Ze Continent.” Wei Tu made the promise. He did not forget the “agreement” between him and Master Su Xin. It was a guarantee for him to advance to the middle stage of Refining Void.

In the next one or two hundred years, he would definitely go to the "Divine Fire Fairyland". At that time, it would be a good idea to take Madam Xue and the other two with him.

As for what these three people knew about his collusion with the Snow Infant Clan, perhaps a suitable solution would be found in one or two hundred years.

"This……"

Madam Xue was not satisfied with this answer. After hesitating for a while, she continued, "If Master Wei Dan is not satisfied with this price, I am willing to repay this favor with three times the market price."

She is not afraid of waiting, but she is afraid that the wait will be endless.

Moreover, the Xue's Business in Wanling Fairy City could not do without her as the "helmsman". As time went on, whether the business declined or the power was taken away, it was difficult for her to accept.

Seeing that Madam Xue Er was so "unfeeling", Wei Tu frowned and said bluntly: "I can open the human race's inter-continental teleportation array to escort Madam away, but... Regarding the matter of the Snow Infant Clan, how can Madam let me trust you and not let anything leak out in the future?"

As soon as these words fell.

Mrs. Xue, who deliberately ignored the matter, suddenly turned extremely pale.

——Knowing how wrong her "coercion" just now was, if she hadn't insisted on leaving, Wei Tu probably wouldn't have torn the layer of skin between them.

Including the brother and sister Xue Hua and Xue Ai, they also showed expressions of fear, and realized the evil intentions of the Snow Infant Clan in asking the three of them to deliver the letter.

"Please rest assured, Master Wei Dan, the three of us will keep this matter a secret and will never leak it."

"The bodies of the three of us... have also been planted with restrictions by the combined cultivators of the Snow Infant Clan. If this matter is leaked, not only will the Xue Family Business Company in Molin Immortal City be destroyed... but also the three of us will be killed by this restriction."

Mrs. Xue Er defended herself.

But after hearing this, Wei Tu just sneered secretly. If the Snow Infant Clan's restriction was really fatal, Madam Xue II would not want to borrow the passage from him to return to Wanling Fairy City...

Wanling Fairy City must have a way to resolve this restriction!
As for the Xue's business and the Xue's family members in Mo Lin Immortal City, they have probably been decisively treated as "abandoned children" by Mrs. Xue II.

This kind of thing is also common in large families.

The abandoned eldest branch of the Xue family was probably also willing to do so. After all, with the Xue Hua siblings, their bloodline would continue to be lineage-free.

Seeing Wei Tu, he remained silent.

Madam Xue felt a chill down her spine, knowing that Wei Tu was not as easy to fool as she had imagined.

Although he values ​​old friendship, he is not the kind of person who can ask her to "repay a favor".

Fortunately, her judgment was not wrong. After being forced into the human race by the Snow Infant Tribe, she sought refuge from Wei Tu, which allowed her to maintain temporary safety and avoid putting her life in danger.

"If... Master Wei Dan does not forsake us, the three of us are willing to be slaves in exchange for the protection of Fellow Daoist Wei, and let Master Wei Dan control our life and death, honor and disgrace. He will also give us half of the Xue family's business. I only ask Master Wei Dan to protect the three of us and go to Lei Ze Continent immediately."

Madam Xue raised the stakes and said cruelly.

During the time she came to the Holy Emperor Domain, she also heard from people nearby about the sixth-order body-refining tribulation that Wei Tu had gone through not long ago. She knew that Wei Tu's talent was considered extraordinary among the human race.

With his aptitude, even if he doesn't have the chance to merge in the future, it is a foregone conclusion that he will reach the peak of the Void Refining Realm.

This level is enough to make one the strongest person in Xue’s Trading Company.

Relying under the wings of such powerful people, even if they become slaves and seem humiliated... they will not necessarily suffer any loss.

In the spiritual world where the strong prey on the weak, being a free man is good, but being a slave to the strong will make life more comfortable.

Among the Ten Spirit Clans, the last one, the "Xiaotian Clan", used to be slaves of the Yulong Clan. They rose from being a servant clan and worked their way up to the status of a powerful clan among the Ten Spirit Clans step by step!

At least, the idea of ​​"protection" that Wei Tu just expressed is enough to guarantee his good character.

"Half of the inheritance?"

"Three people as slaves?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart was beating fast at this suggestion.

Half of the Xue family's business was a huge fortune, enough to support him and help him reach the peak of the Void Refining Realm.

At this time, he couldn't help but think to himself: In addition to delivering the message, Xue Qiongyu sent Madam Xue and the other two to him, maybe she also had this idea - to package up the "Xue Family Business" and send it to him so that he can quickly stand out from the human race?

After all, whether he likes it or not, in fact, he is already a "traitor among the human race" who is in good terms with the Snow Infant Clan.

As a traitor, it is natural for outsiders to give him certain "benefits".

Secondly, the trip to the Dinghai Immortal Ruins a few hundred years later should be led by him. If he lags far behind Xue Qiongyu in terms of cultivation, he will inevitably hold this girl back...

"This girl is quite generous." Thinking of this, Wei Tu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

This joy was not only due to the blessing from heaven, but also due to the help of Pei Hong's fiancée Xue Qiongyu!
In some ways, Pei Hong was cheated on.

However, he was not overwhelmed by this temptation. After narrowing his eyes slightly, he asked in a very calm tone: "What the madam said is acceptable, but I, Wei, remember that there are powerful combined masters behind the Xue family business... In terms of protection, how could it be the turn of a small virtual cultivator like me, Wei, to provide protection?"

"Secondly, for this Xue family business, whether it is the first branch of the Molin Immortal City or the second branch of the Wanling Immortal City, the clan elders will decide everything."

"It is true that Madam is the helmsman of the Xue Family Business in Wanling Fairy City, but if you want to give away half of your foundation, you need the consent of the Xue Family elders... Otherwise, your words are just empty talk!"

Wei Tu said coldly.

What this means is that Madam Xue II must give a suitable reason for this, or come up with a suitable plan for "planning".

Otherwise, the words about being a slave and dedicating one's inheritance would inevitably be suspected of deceiving him.

The words fell.

At this time, Madam Xue was not too surprised - from the conversation with Wei Tu just now, she already knew that Wei Tu was not easy to fool. Now she would not lie to Wei Tu and deceive him, so as not to anger Wei Tu and lose her last chance of survival.

She took a deep breath and explained sincerely:
"What Master Wei Dan said is true. But what Master Wei Dan doesn't know is that, although that great combined being is worshipped by our Xue family, he is not actually a member of our Xue family. He is just a connection that our Xue family made by chance thousands of years ago."

"My Xue family can ask this person for help, but when it comes to a strong clan like the Snow Infant Clan, we will stay away from them and won't easily get into trouble."

“Although Master Wei Dan is weak and his realm is only the Refining Void Realm, he has a strong relationship with the Snow Infant Clan and the Thunder Peng Clan. He is also a genius of the human race, so his future achievements are limitless… Being able to make friends with Master Wei Dan and become his disciple is already a happy event for our Xue family. We will not turn a happy event into a tragedy and cause a crisis of extermination!”

"Those elders may be old-fashioned, but... I am confident that I can get them to agree to give half of the inheritance to Master Wei Dan."

In the last sentence, Madam Xue's tone became decisive, and she regained the posture of a powerful person who was at the helm of a major force when she was in Wanling Fairy City.

After hearing this and combining it with the preface, Wei Tu was already 90% convinced of Madam Xue II.

It is not painful for a son to sell his father's land, and the property does not entirely belong to Madam Xue. Selling the Xue's Business for a good price is also an opportunity for her to make further progress.

But he still didn't believe it.

A cold light flashed in his eyes. After saying "I'm sorry" to Madam Xue, he immediately released the Blood-winged Mok and used the secret technique of his race to "hypnotize" Madam Xue.

Madam Xue was at the same level as him, also in the "early stage of refining emptiness" - but the difference was that her level was superficial, and her cultivation was built up by relying on a huge amount of resources. In terms of combat power and spiritual awareness, she was far inferior to him and the Blood-Winged Mok.

Therefore, under the hypnosis of this secret technique, not long after, Madam Xue Er, who had not actively resisted, felt dizzy and answered the questions asked by Wei Tu in a daze.

Wei Tu did not spare Xue Hua's siblings, either, and used secret hypnosis techniques to obtain key information.

An hour later.

Looking at the three people who were sleeping, he nodded secretly, feeling relieved and heaved a sigh of relief.

None of these three people lied to him, whether it was Xue Qiongyu's coercion to deliver the letter, or their willingness to be slaves and offer their inheritance...

"Agree or not?" Wei Tu touched his chin, looking deep in thought.

Half of the Xue family's business would be of unimaginable help to him in the Refining Void Realm, and would greatly shorten the time it takes for him to break through to the Fusion Realm.

However, the process would not be as easy as Madam Xue said. If he wanted to seize half of the foundation, he would have to "break in" in the Wanling Fairy City.

Mrs. Xue's agreement was more of a pretext and a reputation for him!
If you want to get it, you have to rely on certain means.

Otherwise, there will be no return.

Although the elders of the Xue Family Trading Company have always played the role of background board and are not very conspicuous, that is for a powerful force like the Snow Infant Clan. For him... their apparent strength is enough to crush him.

"With the Blood Curse Secret Book, the Snow Infant Clan doesn't need to worry. Without the help of a Mahayana cultivator, they can't break the restrictions of the Blood Curse Secret Book..."

"And in Wanling Immortal City, I am not without support. Lord Yang Yu's token is enough for me to win over the Lei Peng clan, and use the power of the tiger to intimidate the elders of the Xue family..."

"Then...swallow up the Xue Family Business!"

Thinking of this, Wei Tu gradually gained confidence and pondered secretly. (End of this chapter)
