I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

After traveling with Master Suxin.

Wei Tu did not go to Qingyang Valley with him, but chose to stay in Dingyuan Immortal City.

Of course, before heading to Dingyuan Immortal City, Wei Tu also returned to the Divine Fire Immortal Realm and released Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao, who had been "held hostage" by him for many years.

He warned the two not to leak any information about the trip to the "Cloudy Swamp" easily, and it would be best to pretend that they knew nothing.

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao had no objection and quickly patted their chests to guarantee that they would never leak any information about Senior Wei.

But Wei Tu did not believe it.

Without a strong contractual spiritual object like the "Blood Curse Secret Book" as a guarantee, any oath made by a cultivator may be broken.

He smiled coldly and told Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao the whole process of the trip to the "Yunwu Swamp", which they did not know.

Of course, this process is the version he told Master Su Xin, not the real version.

"Senior Wei, are you saying... that the white-haired evil cultivator escaped from the Cloud Mist Swamp?"

Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao immediately turned pale, as if they were on edge. With their experience in dealing with things, it was not difficult to know the real danger that this cultivator would pose to them after escaping.

Once the white-haired evil cultivator takes revenge on Wei Tu, Xu Qingxuan and the others, he will also follow the clues to find out the two young gods and wipe them out completely.

"I will be returning to the Human Ancestor Temple soon. Although the white-haired evil cultivator is dangerous, it is not fatal to me."

Wei Tu said calmly.

After he finished speaking, he said no more. He flicked his sleeves, threw a storage bag to each of them, and then immediately turned into a green rainbow, broke through the air, and disappeared in front of Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao.

See Wei Tu leave.

Soon, Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao, who stayed where they were, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's not a good thing to be hated by an evil cultivator. Senior Wei has the protection of the ancestral temple. At worst, he won't return to Lei Ze Continent, but you and I..."

Jiang Huanchen weighed the storage bag in his hand and smiled bitterly.

"As long as Senior Wei is not caught, the white-haired evil cultivator will not know about our existence, let alone... Brother Jiang, you told Senior Wei about the secret cave..."

“In other words, as long as you and I keep this secret strictly, there shouldn’t be any major disaster.” Ma Youdao shook his head and said seriously.

"That's right." Upon hearing this, Jiang Huanchen nodded in relief and didn't say any more on this taboo topic.

Right now, there is something more pressing than this topic - that is the reward given to him by Wei Tu!

"There is no Tianchen Pill or Qingling Ointment..."

When Jiang Huanchen opened the storage bag, he was immediately disappointed.

However, he was not too surprised. After all, the "fortunate fate" he brought to Wei Tu this time was a curse rather than a blessing.

Not only did he gain nothing, but he also offended an evil fusion cultivator...

Wei Tu did not get angry and kill him. As a senior of the human race, Wei Tu had good self-cultivation.

"Fortunately, there are still one or two rare spiritual medicines. With these spiritual medicines... plus my years of accumulation, I should be able to try to find a great immortal sect to buy a Tianchen Pill within a hundred years."

Jiang Huanchen clutched the storage bag and thought silently.

……

Wei Tu did not feel the slightest bit of shame for being “stingy” in rewarding Jiang Huanchen.

Even if his previous information was true - there was only a seriously injured Huamu clan refining cultivator in the "secret cave", the value of the information he provided was not enough to exchange for a Tianchen Pill.

Not to mention, the information he provided was totally wrong. If he had not been cautious and careful, he would have almost lost his life.

The reward for killing the white-haired evil cultivator later...

That was something he achieved by chance after spending a lot of resources and using a lot of means, and it had nothing to do with Jiang Huanchen.

More than ten days later.

Wei Tu arrived at Dingyuan Immortal City again.

He moved back into the immortal inn where he lived before, and while monitoring the movements in Chengxin Pavilion, he began to try to refine the "soul residues" left after the white-haired evil cultivator failed to take over his body.

These soul residues are the purest soul crystals left behind by the white-haired evil cultivator after his death.

It will be of great benefit to his spiritual practice.

"After refining these soul crystals, maybe I can try to raise my soul to the late stage of refining emptiness in one go..."

Wei Tu's eyes showed excitement as he pondered secretly.

Although the soul reaching the "late stage of refining emptiness" level is far inferior to the all-round improvement brought about by the realm reaching the late stage of refining emptiness, but... the benefits it brings are also immediate.

First, there is a significant expansion of the range of spiritual awareness.

When practicing some soul secret arts, such as the "incantation" magic, the power can also reach the late stage of refining emptiness...

In other words, it can have a fatal effect on cultivators below this level, that is, the "middle stage of refining emptiness" and "early stage of refining emptiness".

Secondly, it will be of great benefit to his future breakthrough in realm.

It can significantly increase the chance of breakthrough.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

After Wei Tu took the initiative to "die" and caught up with the white-haired evil cultivator, Xu Qingxuan, who had hurriedly fled in the "Cloud and Mist Swamp", did not go away after a period of rest. Instead, he turned his escape light and went straight to the Divine Fire Fairyland.

Twenty years ago, after signing the "Blood Curse Secret Book" with Wei Tu, she sneaked into the Divine Fire Fairyland once to inquire about detailed information about Wei Tu.

This time, I was even more familiar with it.

Xu Qingxuan's purpose for coming to the Divine Fire Fairyland this time was very simple, which was to continue investigating Wei Tu and find out what Wei Tu relied on to face the white-haired evil cultivator alone.

Secondly, I also had the idea of ​​sitting back and waiting for something to happen.

I want to "block" Wei Tu once in the Divine Fire Fairyland.

"Ma Youdao and Jiang Huanchen showed up?"

A few months later, Xu Qingxuan, who was staying in the Divine Fire Fairyland, "accidentally" learned the news.

Her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she immediately set off to find Ma Youdao and Jiang Huanchen.

Last time, when I was asking for information.

She suspected that Wei Tu knew there was an opportunity hidden in the Cloud Mist Swamp after he killed Lianxu from the Mountain Ghost Clan, so he ran to the Cloud Mist Swamp a year before her...

Now, the sudden appearance of Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao undoubtedly confirmed her guess.

After all, ever since Lianxu of the Mountain Ghost Clan was killed by Wei Tu, these two people suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Under Xu Qingxuan's deliberate investigation.

As expected, Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao fell into the hands of this woman during one of their outings.

However, due to his relationship with Wei Tu, Xu Qingxuan did not use force against Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao. Instead, he used the Sky Fox tribe's illusion to extract information from the two's minds.

"Did the white-haired evil cultivator escape?"

"Weitu is unharmed?"

In the pink mist, after seeing that the information Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao said was highly consistent, Xu Qingxuan frowned slightly, his expression changing over and over again.

She had a hunch that the news must be false.

But unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't think of another possibility... one that she herself didn't dare to believe.

"Whether you believe it or not, Wei Tu escaped from the hands of this white-haired evil cultivator... This person is unfathomable!"

Xu Qingxuan pursed his thin lips and said secretly.

Even if that possibility exists...

Forced by reality, she could only make friends with Wei Tu instead of offending him.

"Now, he has escaped from the Cloud and Mist Swamp and has not appeared in the Divine Fire Immortal Realm, so... it must be Dingyuan Immortal City..."

Xu Qingxuan looked thoughtful as he glanced in the direction of "Dingyuan Immortal City".

This city is closely related to the Demon Cloud Sect.

Since the Demon Cloud Sect is Wei Tu's great enemy and Wei Tu has the ability to escape from the white-haired evil cultivator, it is impossible for him not to deal with this hostile force that will give birth to the "great power of the combined body".

"I failed to seize the opportunity in the Cloud Swamp, and instead lost my third brother. If I return to the clan, I will be held accountable..."

"I must... demonstrate my value once again..."

Xu Qingxuan took a deep breath.

She raised her hand slightly, removed the pink illusion mist that was enchanting Jiang Huanchen and Ma Youdao, and immediately set off for Dingyuan Immortal City.

……

It is not difficult to refine pure soul crystals.

In just less than three months, Wei Tu refined all the "soul residues" left by the white-haired evil cultivator, and as he wished, he raised his soul to the late stage of refining emptiness.

But a pity.

His surveillance of the Mingxin Pavilion was still ineffective, and he did not obtain any useful intelligence here.

Fortunately, this was something Wei Tu did naturally, so he would not be disappointed whether he succeeded or not.

"Do you want to go out and meet Xu Qingxuan?"

After finishing his meditation, Wei Tu glanced at the faint light on the communication instrument, a thoughtful look on his face.

He and Xu Qingxuan were the signatories of the "Blood Curse Secret Book" and they had common interests with each other before... So, as early as twenty years ago, they exchanged one-way communication tools.

This kind of communication device can only send messages, but cannot locate the other monk holding the communication device.

So at this moment, whether Wei Tu in Dingyuan Immortal City shows up or not has no effect on him.

"Let's meet again."

"This girl has high qualifications and a remarkable background in the Sky Fox Clan. She may be of great use in the future. She is a good connection."

"Besides, even if she has doubts about the battle in the Cloud Swamp, she will have trouble plotting against me because of the constraints of the Blood Curse Secret Book."

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then stood up and used his spiritual skills to send a message to Xu Qingxuan who was staying in Dingyuan Immortal City.

Half a day later.

The two agreed to meet at Yixianzhan.

The battle at Yunwu Swamp was a topic that the two of them could not avoid.

Xu Qingxuan took the lead in bringing up the topic, asking Wei Tu why he suddenly appeared that day.

"Well... To be honest with you, Fairy Xu, when I showed up that day, I wanted to lie low and reap the benefits, but I didn't expect that the white-haired evil cultivator discovered me. I had no choice but to attack him first..."

"Of course, this is also why I am confident that I can escape from this Liao."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, took out his [Shrinking Step Talisman] without any hesitation, and waved it in front of Xu Qingxuan.

This explanation is not so decent though...

But Xu Qingxuan really chose to believe it.

Moreover, after hearing this, Xu Qingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, when she saw Wei Tu "supporting" her that day, it was not very fair for her to just run away.

Then, Xu Qingxuan took the initiative to get to the point, took a deep breath, smiled bitterly and said:

"This time, my third brother was possessed by that evil cultivator and died. Although there are reasons for this, within the clan... I will inevitably be severely punished for this..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded secretly.

When going out on an adventure, life and death are determined by fate. Logically speaking, Xu Qingxuan cannot be blamed for Xu Mingxi's death.

But logic aside, from the perspective of power and family - Xu Mingxi's death was caused by Xu Qingxuan.

It must be punished or make certain compensation.

"What does Fairy Xu mean?"

Wei Tu prepared to be the supporting actor and asked.

"I am willing to help Fellow Daoist Wei deal with the Demon Cloud Sect... and use the resources of this sect to make up for the loss this time." Xu Qingxuan pondered for a moment and stated his plan.

Loss in the North, Make Up in the South?

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and understood Xu Qingxuan's plan.

Before, at the trade fair in Wanling Fairy City, Xu Qingxuan had told him about the Demon Cloud Sect, but it was more of a reminder at that time... He did not have much interest in the Demon Cloud Sect.

Because the strength of the Demon Cloud Sect was previously revealed to be much stronger than the white-haired evil cultivator trapped in the "Blood Sacrifice Land".

But...it's very different now.

With a cultivator like him who dared to take the initiative to attack the white-haired evil cultivator and escape from him, the Demon Cloud Sect would no longer be an existence that the two of them could challenge.

"I am very happy that Fairy Xu is willing to support me, but unfortunately, I have lost a lot of my trump cards in dealing with that evil cultivator this time. In the short term, I am no longer able to deal with the Demon Cloud Sect."

Wei Tu shook his head and declined.

At the same time, in order to prove that what he said was true, he also took out the True Soul Talisman whose spiritual power had been exhausted and placed it on the table in front of him.

To deal with the Demon Cloud Cult...

He wouldn't mind having an extra helper.

But in the short term, he definitely did not intend to attack the Demon Cloud Sect again.

One is the reason he mentioned.

The cards in hand are almost exhausted.

The true soul talisman is like this.

The same goes for the [Shrinking Step Talisman] in your hand.

If you want to deal with the Demon Cloud Sect, you have to at least wait until you have replenished your cards before you can deal with it.

Not to mention the "True Soul Talisman" that can increase combat power in a short period of time——

I have to buy another [Shrinking Step Talisman] that can help me escape from the powerful combined force.

Secondly, he needed time to digest what he had gained, and there was no need to rush to create new enemies immediately.

As soon as these words fell.

Xu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

However, correspondingly, she also believed more of Wei Tu's "explanation" just now. After all, the spiritual power lost in the "true talisman" could not be faked.

"In the short term, I will not leave Dingyuan Immortal City. If you have made up your mind, you can come to me at any time and invite me to fight against the Demon Cloud Sect monks together..."

Xu Qingxuan sighed lightly and continued.

There was no reason for Wei Tu to refuse this request. He nodded slightly, which was considered as agreement.

"In half a month, there will be an auction in Dingyuan Immortal City. There will be the Five Essence Pills that the Demon Cloud Sect wants - the Xuanyang Fruit. By then, the Demon Cloud Sect should show up..."

"If you have time, you can come with me to attend this auction."

Xu Qingxuan took out an invitation and sent an invitation to Wei Tu. (End of this chapter)
