I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

In the picture of water vapor condensation.

From the perspective of the poisonous flying ant, Mrs. Fei, who had just finished the auction, walked into a small dark room of Xingyun Trading Company with the old man in red robe.

The gloomy faces of the two men relaxed when they walked into the small dark room, especially Mrs. Fei, who smiled brightly with a smug look in her eyes.

"As that master expected, after seeing the Life-Locking Stake appear, these Void-Refining Monks were all attracted to the auction and bid for it."

"After the auction, he even forced you and me to tell him the origin of the Locking Pillar..."

"Of course. The temptation of this evil technique, 'Locking Life Post', to cultivators like us in the Void Refining Realm is comparable to that of a complete Five Essence Pill." The red-robed old man nodded slightly and agreed.

"However, we still have to be careful that walls have ears. Although this secret room has restrictions to prevent cultivators from spying on it, there are endless secret techniques in the world of immortal cultivation. If we are not careful and fall into a trap and make a big mistake, and that master finds out, you and I may be worse off than dead..."

The old man in red robe reminded Mrs. Fei.

When he mentioned the words "that lord", his face showed obvious fear, which was enough to show how deep the shadow of "that lord" was in this cultivator's heart.

"Fellow Daoist Deng is right. But there is no need to worry. Right now, the human race and the alien coalition forces in the Wanlin Lakes area are at war. The combined powers of the two sides are wary of each other and it is difficult for them to withdraw..."

“Besides, the ‘Life-Locking Pillar’ is a treasure, but it is not very attractive to those great masters who have achieved the state of fusion. They also reject the idea of ​​cultivators in the clan using this item. After all, cultivators who have achieved the state of fusion created by evil objects often have a low upper limit, and their strength is much lower than that of cultivators who have achieved the state of fusion through normal breakthroughs… Seizing this item will instead spread poison within the clan and harm future generations.”

"At this auction, the cultivators who came to snatch the 'Life-Locking Pillar' were all in the Void Refining Realm, which is enough to prove this point."

Mrs. Fei leaned on the rosewood chair in the room, took a lazily sip of warm tea, licked her crystal red lips moistened by the tea, and said these words with great insight.

The implication is obvious.

Without the intervention of the powerful ones in the combined form, it would be difficult for the Void Refinement Monks who were lured in by greed to turn the tables in this "scheme", and they, the "masterminds", would be sure to win.

"It's just that I don't know why that lord set up this trap. With his strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to capture one or two Void Refining monks to use for his evil magic."

The old man in red robe frowned and asked this question in an inquiring tone.

It was as if he was not only in a "superior" position in interpersonal relationships, but also at a level far beyond that of Mrs. Fei, who was at a half-step fusion state.

But he was one of Mrs. Fei's "subordinates".

"That gentleman has his own ideas. How can you and I guess them?" Mrs. Fei was very alert when she heard this. She frowned and asked back immediately.

"I dare not." The old man in red robe laughed awkwardly and ended the topic on his own initiative.

Then, the two talked for a while.

The old man in red robe seemed to have received some mission. He hurriedly took his leave and left the dark room.

After the red-robed old man left.

Mrs. Fei immediately became extremely respectful. She looked towards the dark room and saw a human shadow suddenly appear. She bowed and said, "Master."

The two of them moved their lips slightly and communicated with each other through their spiritual consciousness.

After a moment, Mrs. Fei seemed to have received some orders, turned around and hurried out of the dark room, and walked all the way to the inside of Xingyun Trading Company, to a room marked "Teleportation Hall".

The screen ends here.

The "Iron Poison Flying Ant" that was following Mrs. Fei also quietly left Xingyun Commercial Bank at this moment and returned to Wei Tu.

……

"That lord, the master?"

Inside the rented cave, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and pondered the two words he heard for a while.

With the red-robed old man at the half-step fusion realm.

The cultivator who can be respected as "Sir" by him must be a great master of a higher level.

Afterwards, the words of the red-robed old man also indirectly confirmed this fact - only a great master in the state of fusion can abduct the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm effortlessly and without any scruples.

But a doubt arises.

Just like the red-robed old man's doubts about this matter.

Why would this powerful person go through so much trouble to lure such a group of Void Refining cultivators here using the "Life Locking Pillar" as bait? What exactly is he thinking?
After all, "predation" on a small scale is not only safe, but also less likely to attract encirclement and suppression from other powerful beings.

“Could it be... that this cultivator is not a fusion cultivator?” Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and speculated.

This was not his conjecture, but a fact before him.

——The poisonous flying ant was not noticed by the "shadow" that suddenly appeared in the dark room.

Although this ant inherited the characteristics of the "golden marrow worm" and had the magical powers of hiding and becoming invisible, it was almost impossible to hide when facing a higher level of combined power...

“The person who is considered as a master of fusion by the half-step fusion cultivator is not a master of fusion. Although this is absurd, if it is true, everything can be explained…” Wei Tu took a deep breath and admired the courage of this cultivator.

Whether it was "deceiving" the red-robed old man or luring a group of late-stage Void Refinement cultivators in the auction, this cultivator's behavior was no less than walking on a tightrope. If one was not careful, he would fall off a cliff.

"It's just speculation, don't take it seriously."

But soon, Wei Tu shook his head again and suppressed this inner thought.

Moreover, even if this is true——

At the moment, there was no place for him to make a profit. With his strength, it was not easy to deal with a late-stage refining virtual cultivator, let alone taking advantage of a group of late-stage refining virtual cultivators.

"Just wait and see what happens."

Wei Tu hung a "retreat sign" outside the cave and continued his practice.

At the same time, he also began to try to use his own blood essence to "blood sacrifice" the "Youli Yin Corpse" in his hand, so that this corpse could be advanced to the "sixth-level middle quality".

Once successful, with two sixth-level middle-grade refined corpses by his side, his combat power would be considerable.

More than ten days later.

In the auction venue, those Void-Refining Monks who had gone out to track down "Master Bu Dan" gradually returned.

Rumors spread among the people.

After these Lianxu monks followed the aura left by Master Bu Dan, they saw the evil spell "Locking Life Pillar" written by Master Bu Dan on a cliff in the wild in order to protect himself and escape.

Although this evil technique was destroyed by the first few peak-level masters who discovered it, it seems that someone still secretly memorized it and traded it on the black market...

For a time, many people in Dingyuan Immortal City were in panic.

Because they couldn't judge whether someone had secretly practiced this evil technique, refined human pills, and then used it to break through to the fusion realm.

"Overt conspiracy, this is an open conspiracy!"

After learning this information, Wei Tu understood everything instantly and realized that this was the plan of "that adult" mentioned by the red-robed old man.

At the same time, he was also certain of his guess.

——This cultivator is not in the fusion realm, but an evil cultivator who also wants to break through the fusion realm by using the "Locking Life Pillar".

It is quite difficult for him to constantly "hunt" cultivators in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm and refine them into "Life-Locking Pillars".

However, if a group of late-stage Void Refinement cultivators were allowed to engage in internal fighting and create a large number of "Life-Locking Pillars", while he could just sit back and reap the benefits, that would be very different.

Moreover, as long as the time is well controlled, the cultivator who succeeds in the "internal fight" will not increase his strength in a short period of time.

On the contrary, it will be reduced a lot.

After all, measuring a cultivator's combat power has a lot to do with external objects such as spiritual treasures and talismans in his hands.

And these cannot be made up in a short period of time after a battle.

"The internal fighting among these late-stage Void Refining cultivators has little to do with me. The most important thing is whether Chief Chai and Great Master Tiesha will be attracted by this scam and lose their strength through internal fighting, giving me an opportunity to take advantage of it..."

In a flash, Wei Tu determined the opportunity he needed to seize in this "hunting plan".

"Besides that, there is also the variable of Dayuan Shuang."

Wei Tu raised his head, his gaze transcending through space and looking towards the other side of Dingyuan Immortal City.

That is where Dayuanshuang is in seclusion.

This woman was very smart - she left the auction first before it ended, but she did not flee Dingyuan Immortal City. Instead, she paid a rent to the "Liuyun Trading Company" in the city and moved into the sixth-level cave residence owned by Liuyun Trading Company.

Liuyun Trading Company was affiliated with the Liuyun Clan, a powerful clan in the Wanlin Lakes area. There were no less than two powerful combined masters in the clan.

The strength of this business is enough to intimidate some Void-Refining cultivators with ulterior motives.

In addition, this woman deliberately leaked the news of her presence here, which immediately caused these ill-intentioned refining cultivators and Liuyun Trading Company to restrain each other, indirectly ensuring safety.

"She is from a large tribe like the Four-Armed Ape Tribe, but she is not arrogant or domineering. Instead, she makes good use of her surroundings to create favorable conditions for herself... This woman is extraordinary."

Wei Tu secretly admired in his heart.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Not only did Dingyuan Immortal City fail to regain its peace as time passed, but it became even more tense.

Wei Tu, who chose the right opportunity to leave seclusion, heard the news that "Life-Locking Pillars" were being auctioned and traded in the underground black market.

It seemed that, because of this reason, a group of Void-Refining Monks who were previously attracted by the "Life-Locking Pillar" at the Xingyun Commercial Bank auction were all hesitant in Dingyuan Immortal City and did not dare to leave without permission.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

For those cultivators at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm.

The "Life-Locking Pillar" that can help them break through the realm must be refined by a cultivator in the late stage of the Refinement Void Realm.

but--

The ordinary "locking pile" used to improve qualifications is also a "treasure" that is hard to find in the outside world.

This kind of "Life-Locking Pillar" can be refined with a cultivator in the early stage of Refining Void as the base material.

But, it’s easier to deal with foreigners.

The human Lianxu who was attracted by the "Life-Locking Pillar" was in great pain at this moment.

Most of them are the "high-level officials" guarding the border of the Divine Fire Immortal Realm.

If one delays for too long and fails to return in time, it will be considered a crime of leaving the post without permission. In more serious cases, one may be expelled from the "human race", sentenced to death, and wanted by the entire human race.

This kind of demand, Dingyuan Xiancheng officials are definitely unable to meet these hostile human race refining virtual...

Even the alien coalition forces on the front line of the battlefield were keenly aware of this problem and put pressure on the officials of Dingyuan Immortal City to thoroughly investigate the monks in the city and hunt down human monks.

Therefore, the black market trade of "leaving Dingyuan Immortal City by using the teleportation array" quickly developed during this period.

Wei Tu, who lived in Dingyuan Immortal City, was inevitably searched. However, his disguise skills were very advanced and he easily deceived the city defense forces of Dingyuan Immortal City.

But just when Wei Tu thought it was all right.

The next day, Xu Qingxuan sent a letter and hurried to find him again.

"Friend Wei, we can no longer stay in Dingyuan Immortal City. We must leave quickly. Otherwise, there will be a disaster." Xu Qingxuan said anxiously and worriedly.

"Will there be a catastrophe?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu was slightly startled.

He and Xu Qingxuan did not covet the "Life-Locking Pillar" and if they stayed in Dingyuan Immortal City obediently, what big trouble could happen?
"Could it be..." Suddenly, Wei Tu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xu Qingxuan with an ugly face.

"Yes, Brother Wei's guess is right. After this evil magic is revealed, the three great tyrant clans will definitely come to investigate. My Sky Fox Clan has had many dealings with the three great tyrant clans. I know that with their behavior, by then... the ordinary cultivators in Dingyuan Immortal City may be fine, but for you and me, it is probably difficult for anyone to survive."

Xu Qingxuan sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Originally, I thought that this evil spell of locking the life stake would be stolen by one person at most, causing those Void-Refining cultivators to fight for it. But unexpectedly, Master Bu Dan had evil intentions and spread this evil spell to everyone... In order to stop the spread of this evil spell, the best way is naturally to massacre them."

At this point, a hint of hatred emerged on Xu Qingxuan's charming face. It was obvious that she hated "Master Bu Dan", the mastermind behind the incident.

Hearing this, Wei Tu was silent. Like Xu Qingxuan, he would not pin his hopes on the "goodness" or "kindness" of the three hegemonic clans.

The reason why the three hegemonic clans are called the three hegemonic clans.

Not only are the strengths of these three tribes far beyond the Ten Spirit Tribes, making them a class apart, but also because the style of these three tribes has always been overbearing and unparalleled, and no one can control them. They also don't care about the outside world's reputation after their actions.

To prevent the spread of evil arts that would be extremely harmful to one's own family, an entire fairy city with a population of tens of millions was massacred - this may sound absurd, but in the family history of the three overlords, it was just a drop in the ocean and not worth mentioning.

Emotional release is complete.

Xu Qingxuan talked about business and asked Wei Tu if there was a channel to borrow the teleportation array inside Dingyuan Immortal City.

"Teleportation array..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned and fell into deep thought.

A short-distance teleportation array could be easily set up by either him or Xu Qingxuan with their strength.

Therefore, what the two of them urgently needed at this moment was an "ultra-long-distance teleportation array" that could teleport them tens of thousands of miles away, directly out of the Dingyuan Immortal City and even the Wanlin Lakes.

This kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation array is usually a fixed two-way teleportation array. Only the big forces within Dingyuan Immortal City have enough strength to set it up...

But how could Wei Tu, a human cultivator, hope to get to know and make friends with these powerful forces in the hostile areas?
“And if we leave Dingyuan Immortal City directly, we will most likely be hunted by the powerful refining masters outside the city…” Wei Tu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling helpless about this situation of being “blocked at both ends”.

"Unless it's the black market, and you spend a lot of money to escape from it. There should be a super long-distance teleportation array in the black market..."

Wei Tu pondered for a long time and only came up with this solution for the time being.

“But the black market also needs to have trusted channels.”

“Otherwise, we’ll be like a sheep walking into a tiger’s mouth, and become the spiritual material used by those evil practitioners to make the Locking Life Stakes.” Xu Qingxuan sighed lightly.

"Doesn't Fairy Xu have a history with the Liuyun Clan?"

At this moment, Wei Tu suddenly remembered this matter, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.

Twenty years ago, when he was in the Cloud Swamp, he saw with his own eyes that Xu Qingxuan had a close relationship with a Liuyun clan member named "Mr. Yun" and they had a good relationship...

Although later on, Mr. Yun and the blood-armored woman died together in the lair of the white-haired evil cultivator, leaving only Xu Qingxuan alone to escape - but the friendship between the two was certainly not fake.

Hearing this, Xu Qingxuan's face froze slightly and he didn't say anything more.

“Although life and death are determined by fate, in the eyes of the Liuyun Clan, it was me who killed Mr. Yun… Because of my identity as a Sky Fox Clan member, it’s already good that the Liuyun Clan didn’t come after me. Why would they consider our old friendship and let me use the Liuyun Trading Company’s ultra-long-distance teleportation array…”

After a moment, Xu Qingxuan replied faintly.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's eyes flashed slightly, and he began to trust Xu Qingxuan's purpose a little more.

——The two of them were in a similar "man-made predicament". They could only use the teleportation array on the black market to leave Dingyuan Immortal City.

"Wei will inquire first. If there is any news, I will inform Fairy Xu." Wei Tu gave an accurate answer.

"Then... I will wait for good news from Fellow Daoist Wei."

As soon as he heard this, Xu Qingxuan's face lit up with joy, and he bowed quickly to thank Wei Tu.

Although she didn't know much about Wei Tu.

But when we first met, I knew that Wei Tu was not a very good person. He was a sinister and cunning person among the monks.

Commonly known as "old bitch"!
Otherwise, he would not have deliberately waited in the "Cloud Swamp" for a year, waiting for her, "Mr. Yun", and the Blood-Armored Lady to arrive, and then went exploring first.

Now, in a desperate situation——

She believed that people like Wei Tu would definitely find a way to escape.

I won't just wait to die in Dingyuan Immortal City.

Following behind such a person, she would not be so easy to die young.

……

The black market trade in "ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays" has become extremely prosperous in the underground world of Dingyuan Immortal City in the past six months.

With the realm of Lianxu Dazun, it is not difficult to find the cultivators related to the black market and establish some connections.

The difficulty is how to find a reliable person.

Otherwise, he would not only give the money, but also sell himself as the raw material for refining "Lock Life Pillar".

However, this is far less difficult for Wei Tu.

——After spending a certain amount of time, he can use the "Hun'e Evil Eye" to identify which business has serious problems.

"Chengxin Pavilion..."

Following the underground water veins of the black market, the Wei map that had been spied all the way once again flowed to the entrance of Chengxin Pavilion.

Like other black market shops, in order to make money, Chengxin Pavilion also added a long-distance teleportation array at the door for round-trip business.

The Weitu map marks this key point.

There was no other reason, because he was certain that "Master Chai" would not abuse the "Locking Life Pillar" when he broke through the state of fusion again.

They will be jealous of this evil magic and fight for it, but at most, they will just use it as a secret weapon to train slaves and subordinates.

Therefore, in a short period of time, in order to avoid the limelight, the probability of "Master Chai" refining a large number of "Lock Life Pillars" is very low. (End of this chapter)
