I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

With the full support of Xue’s Trading Company.

Half a month later, Wei Tu had collected enough complete elixirs for two sets of "Xu Feng Dan".

He tried to open the furnace and refine it.

The results are gratifying.

The first batch was successful.

The process was much smoother than when the "Yu Ning Dan" was refined decades ago.

After all, this pill, like the "Yu Ning Pill", is a sixth-grade low-grade elixir and is not difficult to refine.

"It's a pity that I just broke through a small realm with the help of the 'Jade Heart Ganoderma' not long ago. Although I now have the 'Xu Feng Pill', this pill alone... is not enough to break through the realm barrier and reach the peak of the initial stage of refining emptiness..."

Wei Tu looked at the elixir in his hand for a while. It looked like a beautiful jade with the shadow of a phoenix appearing inside. He used his magic power and put the elixir into the elixir bottle.

"Since we are not able to provide for ourselves, we can only seek help from the outside world."

His eyes fell on an invitation letter placed on the table with a gold-embossed cover and the three words "Tianpeng Pavilion" written on it.

This invitation letter is the "follow-up" to Fairy Yu's invitation to the inner city trade fair that day.

This female cultivator in the fusion stage did not forget about this "junior" of his. Not long after, she sent a cultivator from Tianpeng Pavilion to deliver this item, and the matter was completely settled.

That's why.

During this period, he would sell off a large number of spiritual objects on his body to piece together the mid-grade spiritual crystals on his body, so that he could gain something at the inner city trade fair.

——In a trade fair at the fusion level, one or two treasures randomly leaked out would be enough to fill him up and give him further opportunities.

……

a few days later.

According to the address marked above, Wei Tu went to the inner city trade fair.

He wore a conical hat and a black robe, and waited patiently at the door for Fairy Yu to arrive. After all, he was attending the trade fair this time as Fairy Yu's "follower."

Wei Tu did not feel any humiliation towards this.

The improvement of his realm will certainly bring about a surge in his status and change his identity dramatically, but if he focuses too much on enjoying these "external things", it will be difficult for him to maintain a normal mind... Over time, he will inevitably be "alienated" as a whole.

In a word, he is a human being, not a high and mighty "immortal"!
There is no need for that, it is intentionally less popular.

There was a constant stream of traffic and people at the entrance of the trade fair. One after another powerful beings that were rarely seen in the outside world appeared here, entering with their attendants and relatives.

Not many people pay attention to Wei Tu.

Although Wei Tu made big news at Xue's Trading Company this time,... the radiating range of Wanling Immortal City is far more than just a fairy city. Xue's Trading Company is considered a decent chamber of commerce in Wanling Immortal City, but within the range of its radiation, it is just a small force that cannot be ranked.

Without it——

Only the Mahayana forces are qualified to become famous in the four continents of the spiritual world.

Only the combined forces are qualified to become a first-rate force in each continent.

Wanling Immortal City is one of the largest immortal cities on the Fenghuo Continent.

"That is... Lord Jiuyan?"

While waiting at the door, Wei Tu noticed the arrival of a middle-aged monk in a Confucian robe, with a jade-like face and strange horns on his head.

He was not a stranger to this cultivator, because decades ago, it was he who snatched the "Divine Ape Grass" hidden in the underwater cave by this cultivator from Chai Shouzuo, and obtained the main ingredient for refining the "Five Essence Pill".

However, this was his first time to actually "meet" this Six Gods Lord who was well-known in the spiritual world.

Of course, Wei Tu behaved very naturally. Lord Jiuyan did not notice Wei Tu, a young man in the Refining Void stage. After glancing at Wei Tu briefly, he walked into the gate of the venue.

"When I was eighteen, I stood like a minion." Wei Tu thought to himself without being arrogant or impatient.

Waited another quarter of an hour.

Another monk that Wei Tu was familiar with also walked towards the venue. This woman was wearing a pink dress and had a beautiful face. Behind her buttocks was the fluffy fox tail that was the symbol of the Sky Fox Clan.

"Is it her?" Wei Tu was slightly surprised.

But soon, he figured out the trick.

Xu Qingxuan once said that he would first return to the Fenghuo Continent and find the close elder in the Sky Fox Clan to obtain the formation diagram of the "Six Qi God-Slaying Formation". Then, twenty years later, he would work together with him to kill the "mummy" of the Huamu Clan and divide up this treasure.

And it just so happens that inside the Wanling Fairy City, there is a cross-continental teleportation array leading to the Fenghuo Continent.

Moreover, this inter-continental teleportation array is not like the teleportation arrays of other forces that have identity restrictions. One only needs to pay a certain amount of medium-grade spirit crystals to activate or borrow it.

Therefore, the Wanling Fairy City became the first stop that this woman could not avoid when she returned to the Fenghuo Continent.

"This girl is just like what I thought. She has a great background and is not an ordinary member of the Sky Fox Clan."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered slightly.

The monks who can come to the inner city trade fair are either rich or noble.

Like him, it was only because of the invitation of Fairy Yu that he had the honor to participate in this inner city trade fair.

In other words, behind Xu Qingxuan, there is also a powerful being who is close enough to this woman.

"Weitu?"

At this time, Xu Qingxuan, who arrived at the entrance of the venue, was also slightly surprised to find Wei Tu without disguise.

——Wanling Fairy City is not within the coverage of traditional human forces.

As far as she knew, there were no powerful human beings at the fusion level near the Wanling Fairy City.

Naturally, there was no human race coming together to "support" Wei Tu.

"Fairy Xu."

Wei Tu looked natural and stepped forward to greet him.

"Friend Wei." Xu Qingxuan put away his surprise and bowed to Wei Tu in return.

However, the next moment, something happened that surprised Wei Tu. Xu Qingxuan did not exchange too much greetings with him, but instead told him a "secret" at this moment.

"The Demon Cloud Cult is secretly collecting spiritual medicines and planning to refine the Five Essence Pill?"

"Is what Fairy Xu said true?"

Wei Tu frowned and made further confirmation.

With the support of the ancestral temple, to be honest, he is not afraid that the Demon Cloud Sect will give birth to a powerful being who will then threaten him.

Secondly, with his ability to conceal his breath and disguise himself, as long as he was careful, it would be difficult for the Demon Cloud Cult to find him.

The same goes for the Qingling Sect.

As long as Master Su Xin and others who are "living in seclusion" in Qingyang Valley do not take the initiative to go out, the chance of being discovered by the Demon Cloud Sect is not high given the concealment of Qingyang Valley.

but--

It is not a good thing to sit back and watch the enemy grow stronger.

"Of course this is true."

Xu Qingxuan nodded and said, "After I said goodbye to Fellow Daoist Wei last time, I returned to Dingyuan Immortal City and secretly inquired about Fellow Daoist Wei's information to verify it... After this inquiry, I also learned about the feud between you and the Demon Cloud Sect, as well as some of the movements of the Demon Cloud Sect..."

"The news that the Demon Cloud Sect has collected the Five Essence Pills has spread like wildfire in Dingyuan Immortal City. If you don't believe it, you can go to Dingyuan Immortal City to see for yourself..."

"Of course I believe this." Wei Tu's eyes were solemn and he nodded seriously. He didn't think that what Xu Qingxuan said was false.

This woman had no reason to deceive him about this matter.

Secondly, the logical chain of this statement is also complete.

Similar to refining the "Foundation Building Pill" and "Transmundane Pill" and other elixir-breaking elixirs in the lower realm, the elixir used to refine the "Five Essence Pill" is also a certain controlled elixir in the spiritual world...

Even if ordinary forces have spiritual crystals, it is difficult to buy them.

Once a large amount of information is collected, it is difficult to cover it up, just like paper cannot cover up fire.

"And the Demon Cloud Sect is now searching for the spiritual medicine for refining the Five Essence Pill. They must be targeting... the war between the Liuyun Clan and other alien races and the human race in the Divine Fire Immortal Realm..."

"——Take advantage of this opportunity to show his value as a spy within the human race, reduce the resistance from the alien races, and let these alien races "go with the flow" and not destroy the plan of refining the Five Essence Pills..."

Wei Tu's mind raced as he figured out why the Demon Cloud Cult was in such a hurry to collect and refine the elixir of the Five Essence Pill.

in short.

In the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Demon Cloud Sect, the "opportunity" for this war between the two clans is that the "time has come" for them to take advantage of the chaos to create a combined monk.

“In the Demon Cloud Sect, only the deputy leader, the Great Tiesha, and its leader are in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. The remaining Void Refinement Realm cultivators can be counted on the handful of hands…” Wei Tu fell into deep thought.

Things are different now than they were in the past. With his current strength, he really doesn't need to be overly afraid of this force alone.

However, if he wanted to break into the lair and wipe out the "Demon Cloud Cult" directly, it would be quite difficult for him alone.

The whereabouts of the Demon Cloud Sect's monks have always been uncertain. The high-ranking ones above the Void Refinement Realm have also learned the secret arts of the soul from the ancient demons. In order to deal with the soul-searching methods, they are not afraid of being caught and getting the monks to reveal the location of their lair.

Otherwise, the twelve magnificent sects of the Shenhuo Temple would have wiped out this sect ten thousand years ago, and would not have allowed it to remain at large for so many years, like a "dog-skin plaster", constantly irritating the cultivators in the territory.

The last time, the "Gu San" he captured was just a Divine Transformation cultivator. Apart from knowing the realm of the top leaders of the Demon Cloud Sect, he knew nothing about the location of its headquarters.

"There's no rush yet."

"Refining the Five Essence Pill is not something that can be done overnight. Even if it is an inferior version of the Five Essence Pill, not to mention the time required to collect spiritual herbs, the time required to refine the pill alone is as long as seven or eight years..."

"Secondly, swallowing the elixir and transforming into an acquired five-element Dao body, and using this to break through the fusion realm, the time used during this process will also be at least half a century..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath and shook his head.

Rounding it off, he now has at least forty years to deal with the possibility of the birth of a powerful combined being in the Demon Cloud Sect.

And forty years...

"At that time, I would have the opportunity to... break through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm! And through my own means, I would have the combat power of the peak of the Void Refining Realm!"

Wei Tu's eyes were bright and shining.

Xu Qingxuan, who was standing by, was amazed to see Wei Tu's expression change from "contemplation" and "frowning" to the strong confidence at this moment, and secretly felt that Wei Tu was a real character.

"If Fellow Daoist Wei doesn't mind me, after we deal with the Huamu tribe mummy, you and I can join forces to deal with the Demon Cloud Sect... I am also very interested in the Five Essence Pills that the Demon Cloud Sect has collected." Xu Qingxuan smiled, her fluffy fox tail swaying slightly, revealing her inner joy.

"If I need Fairy Xu, I won't be polite."

Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile.

There was no refusal, nor was there any agreement.

After the two finished their conversation, Xu Qingxuan did not linger at the entrance of the venue for long. After a slight bow, he said goodbye to Wei Tu and walked into the inner city trade fair.

Then, I waited for another quarter of an hour.

Fairy Yu in a white dress finally arrived.

Seeing that Wei Tu had come early and was waiting, although Fairy Yu didn't say anything, her expression and attitude undoubtedly revealed her great admiration for Wei Tu.

Ordinary cultivators, after becoming Jindan or Yuanying ancestors, become very arrogant and find it difficult to look others in the eye.

Even if one is humble and modest when facing seniors, some "arrogance" will still be revealed in one's behavior to a certain extent.

But she did not find these shortcomings in Wei Tu.

"Friend Wei, please follow me and enter the inner city trade fair together." Fairy Yu smiled faintly, motioning Wei Tu to get closer to her and not to be too restrained.

"This scene seems quite similar to the day when I entered the secret realm of the Mysterious Temple."

Wei Tu, who was following Fairy Yu, couldn't help but recall Master Su Xin when he saw this "old scene".

Several decades ago, when he first ascended to the spirit world, Master Su Xin, as his master and sect leader, had a good attitude towards him and repeatedly showed him kindness. She even let him and Nan Hengzi stand closely behind her when they were heading to the grand event at the Mixian Temple...

Today, by some strange coincidence, Master Su Xin has become his potential "cauldron" for breaking through.

"I don't know Fairy Yu..."

Wei Tu stopped his distracting thoughts and focused his mind.

……

The inner city trade fair of Wanlingxian City was smaller than Wei Tu had imagined.

After excluding some servants who entered the "outer venue" with the great masters, the number of cultivators who could actually enter the "main venue" was less than one hundred and fifty.

As many as 20% of them are monks who have achieved the state of fusion.

The remaining cultivators are the "close followers" like Wei Tu who were brought in by Fairy Yu.

Moreover, there was no auction table inside the trade fair. There were only some small attics with open doors in the hall for monks to enter and conduct transactions.

This is similar to low-level monks setting up stalls in the market.

The difference is that high-level monks set identity restrictions and only allow some monks of the same level to come and trade, and the utensils used for setting up the stalls also look more luxurious and elegant.

Wei Tuyi followed Fairy Yu into an empty second-floor attic and watched Fairy Yu place the spiritual objects for this transaction on the jade table in the attic.

"Seven thousand years old Linrong grass, four thousand years old Broken Dragon Ginseng, and the inner elixir of a seventh-level monster..."

Wei Tu looked at the magical object on the jade table and was secretly amazed.

Every spiritual object here is hard to find in the treasury of Xue’s Trading Company. They are all “rare treasures” from the spiritual world, not ordinary goods.

However, these spiritual objects were of no use to him now, so after taking a few glances at them, he withdrew his gaze, said goodbye to Fairy Yu, and prepared to go to other attics to take a look.

Trading useful spiritual objects is the main point of his participation in the inner city trade fair this time!

Instead of always following behind Fairy Yu and acting as her personal attendant.

“If you like some treasures but don’t have enough spirit crystals, you can borrow them from me first.” Fairy Yu smiled faintly, and from her words, she already treated Wei Tu as her close junior.

Of course, this is also related to Wei Tu’s “generosity”.

After swallowing up Xue's Trading Company, Wei Tu was also very tactful and sent one hundred medium-grade spirit crystals and 15% of the shares to Tianpeng Pavilion.

Wei Tu nodded and thanked him, accepting the kindness.

He turned and left the attic where Fairy Yu was, using his spiritual sense to spy back and forth, while patiently wandering around the attics in the venue, looking for something useful to him. (End of this chapter)
