I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"There are quite a few Void Refining cultivators coming to Chenxin Pavilion..."

After returning to the fairy city on earth, Wei Tu once again stayed in the guest room of the fairy inn that monitored the Chengxin Pavilion stronghold, and used the "Hun'e Evil Eye" to spy on the identities of the monks coming and going from Chengxin Pavilion.

In just three or four days, he saw no less than ten non-local Void-Refining Monks entering and leaving Chengxin Pavilion.

"And she..."

On the seventh day of surveillance, when Wei Tu saw the graceful figure of a woman, his heart was moved.

This woman is none other than Da Yuanshuang, the direct descendant cultivator of the four-armed ape clan who won the "Xuan Yang Fruit" at the Xingyun Commercial Bank auction not long ago, and Pei Hong's ex-fiancée.

It seemed that he, like Xu Qingxuan, had sensed the "danger" that would soon befall Dingyuan Immortal City, and was ready to escape when the opportunity arose.

And the black market shop he chose happened to be Chengxin Pavilion, which was secretly controlled by Master Chai.

However, this woman's disguise skills were very clever, and when she came out of Chengxin Pavilion, Wei Tu deliberately went to the entrance of the black market to wait for this woman - and found that except for the method of using "Hun'e Evil Eye" to see this woman's origin and identify her identity, other normal methods were useless to this woman.

Seeing this, Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly, and without hesitation, he turned around and walked into Chengxin Pavilion to buy the qualification to teleport out of Dingyuan Immortal City from Chengxin Pavilion.

He couldn't tell whether there was something wrong with Chengxin Pavilion.

But he knew how safe it was to leave the city with a strong man.

Dayuan Shuang is exactly such a powerful person.

The monk from Chengxin Pavilion who received him was none other than the monk named Suo, whom he had met many times before - "Deputy Envoy Suo".

"Fellow Daoist is at the initial stage of Refining Void Realm. If you want to teleport out of Dingyuan Immortal City... according to the current market price on the black market, you will need at least ten mid-grade spirit crystals..."

In the warm room, Deputy Envoy Suo looked at Wei Tu, who had an ordinary appearance and weak spiritual pressure, and smiled and quoted a high price, as if he didn't care at all that Wei Tu would be angry because of this.

As the time goes.

In order to hunt down the human cultivators stranded in Dingyuan Immortal City, the current Dingyuan Immortal City officials have completely banned the long-distance teleportation arrays of all major forces in the city...

In other words, this business nowadays is completely a seller's market. Black market shops like Chengxin Pavilion that run teleportation businesses have the confidence that there will be no shortage of customers coming to them.

“Ten mid-grade spirit crystals…” Upon hearing this sky-high price, Wei Tu couldn’t help but frown.

After all, the cross-continental teleportation array he took to the Wanling Fairy City only had eight mid-grade spirit crystals.

The cost of an ultra-long-distance teleportation array is much lower than that of an inter-continental teleportation array. In normal years, spending one mid-grade spirit crystal is already a sky-high price, but now it requires ten?
"Ten mid-grade spirit crystals are a bit too expensive. I wonder if you can... make it cheaper."

"I only have eight mid-grade spirit crystals in my hand, and I still need two more mid-grade spirit crystals..."

A hint of pleading appeared on Wei Tu's face, and he started bargaining with Deputy Envoy Suo for the price.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Envoy Suo cursed Wei Tu as a "poor bastard" in his heart, but he still declined the offer with a smile on his face.

Seeing that it was really difficult to bargain, Wei Tu looked like he had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can pay for these ten mid-grade spirit crystals, but Chengxin Pavilion must also guarantee the safety of this trip. You... are a black market after all, and it is difficult to guarantee your credibility..."

As soon as these words fell.

Deputy Envoy Suo immediately understood that the deal was basically done.

"To be honest, there are already five cultivators who are traveling with you on the teleportation array this time. Among these five people, two are cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and three are in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm..."

"If my Chengxin Pavilion really doesn't keep its word, those two late-stage refining cultivators alone will be unable to handle it. After all, there is no great fusion master behind my Chengxin Pavilion..."

Deputy Envoy Suo paused, and in order to gain Wei Tu's trust, he told part of the truth.

"Two cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu, who had been worried just now, suddenly relaxed and let out a breath of relief.

He calculated the number and strength of the monks coming and going from Chengxin Pavilion.

He knew that apart from Da Yuan Shuang, there were not many cultivators in the late stage of Lianxu who came to Chengxin Pavilion. In other words, it was highly likely that Da Yuan Shuang would go with him and leave Dingyuan Xiancheng together.

However, Wei Tu still pretended to hesitate, and took out seven medium-grade spirit crystals and two sixth-level low-grade talismans from his arms, and hesitantly placed them on the square table between him and Deputy Envoy Suo.

These two sixth-level low-grade talismans are both the "Eclipse God Talismans" drawn by Wei Tu more than ten years ago.

There were two "Eclipse Talismans", one was brand new, and the other had wrinkles and was lacking in power, clearly an "old item" that had been used once.

However, based on the market price, these two "Eclipse Talismans" are more than enough to exchange for three medium-grade spirit crystals.

Therefore, after seeing Wei Tu offering goods in exchange, Deputy Envoy Suo frowned for a moment, but still nodded slightly, approving the transaction.

He handed Wei Tu a "token" for communication, and agreed to open the teleportation array in half a month to send Wei Tu away.

"Half a month?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's face showed a trace of unpleasantness, as if he was very dissatisfied with this time.

However, Deputy Envoy Suo had no intention of explaining this. He just snorted coldly and forced Wei Tu to shut up with the pressure of the "Middle Stage of Refining Void".

Today it is today.

After killing the sea ape beast, he also improved from the early stage of refining emptiness to the middle stage of refining emptiness with the deliberate support of Master Chai.

Otherwise, you are not qualified to handle this business.

"Okay, in half a month."

Wei Tu's face turned slightly pale. He stopped arguing, nodded, and hurriedly left Chengxin Pavilion.

"What do you think of this cultivator? Can you tell where he came from?"

After Wei Tu left, Deputy Envoy Suo turned around, looked at the "no man's land" behind him, and said.

A dazzling light flashed, and a bald old man with a gloomy face suddenly appeared in the "no man's land".

He nodded slightly and said, "He is not lying. He is indeed at the initial stage of Refining Void. This old man's spiritual eyes cannot be wrong."

As soon as these words fell.

Deputy Envoy Suo immediately lost interest in Wei Tu and changed the topic, starting a conversation with the bald old man.

It is true that the world of cultivation is deep and complicated.

But it is an irrefutable truth to measure danger by the state of one’s life.

It would be difficult for a person in the early stage of refining emptiness, no matter how well he disguises himself, how deep his mind is, or how vicious his methods are, to act unbridled in front of the two of them and cause any harm.

What's more, there are more than just two monks escorting Chengxin Pavilion this time.

……

Get out of the black market.

After realizing that there were no pursuers, Wei Tu's expression instantly returned to indifference.

He flipped his hand, took out the magic tool for communicating with Xu Qingxuan, and entered a spell into it.

After a while.

Xu Qingxuan, wearing a pink skirt and a fluffy fox tail on her back, walked into Chengxin Pavilion with a smile. Like Wei Tu, she bought the opportunity to teleport out of Dingyuan Immortal City from Chengxin Pavilion at a high price.

At this time, Wei Tu did not leave the black market immediately.

Instead, he purchased some urgently needed spiritual materials on the black market.

Half a month interval.

For him, it was actually pretty good.

This time is just enough for the "Youli Yin Corpse" in his hand to be successfully advanced to the sixth-level intermediate grade.

"Lock the life stake..."

In the process of purchasing at the store, Wei Tu soon and inevitably came into contact with this "evil thing" that was widely circulated in Dingyuan Immortal City.

He stared at the two-inch long, light blue "Lock of Life" that the shop owner was selling.

This "Life-locking Pillar" was of much lower quality than the "Life-locking Pillars" at the auction. He estimated that the spiritual power inside it should have come from a cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refining Realm...

"If I can purchase a wind-attributed Locking Stake here, even if it doesn't require it to be of the sixth-grade upper grade, as long as it is of the sixth-grade lower grade, it will be a great improvement for the Sky-Splitting Sculpture..."

This thought came into Wei Tu’s mind.

But soon, he cut off this thought and avoided the "Life-Locking Stake" sold by the shopkeeper like a snake or scorpion, for fear of being contaminated by even the slightest scent of it.

He didn't know how Madam Fei's "master" could snatch the "Life-Locking Stake" from other cultivators, but he knew that since this evil cultivator dared to do so, he must have a way to counterattack him.

——Including the current “escape” of the group of practitioners.

There was no way that this evil cultivator would watch his prey leave Dingyuan Immortal City.

Therefore, it is very likely that these newly refined "Life-Locking Pillars" will continuously provide this evil cultivator with the corresponding coordinates and positions of other cultivators.

"With the vastness of the cultivation world, there are still ways to improve one's aptitude and physique. There is no need to rush."

Wei Tu suppressed his inner greed and walked out of the black market shop.

Perhaps, this was just his imagination.

But it’s never too much to be cautious.

Return to the Xianzhan guest room.

Wei Tu did not hesitate and immediately refined the spiritual materials and began to nourish the "Youli Yin Corpse" in his hand.

Half a month passed by in a flash.

In the last three days before departure, "Youli Yinshi" finally completed the breakthrough, and the corpse evil aura on its body was 30% to 40% stronger than before.

Although his strength is much inferior to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, if used in coordination, it would be no problem to restrain a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

"In addition, this corpse is blessed by the 'blood of defeat'. If an ordinary cultivator is attacked by it, he will probably die."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he looked at the several strands of crimson blood hidden in the poison sacs in the hands of "Youli Yinshi".

The blood and qi of the defeated are extremely yin and pure, which just matches the yin of the corpse refiner. When it falls into the body of the corpse refiner, not only will it not dissipate with the passage of time, but it will combine with the corpse qi and become another deadly killer in the hands of the corpse refiner.

……

a few days later.

The time agreed with Deputy Envoy Suo has arrived.

Wei Tu changed his appearance again, restrained his aura, and came alone to "Chengxin Pavilion" located in the underground black market.

Just as he had spied and guessed, Dayuanshuang had also mixed into the group of "stowaways".

The woman's face was covered with a black hat, and her exposed hands were covered with silver crystal patterns. She was disguising herself as a member of the "Crystal Clan", a rare group of people in the Lei Ze Continent.

"Deputy Envoy Suo once said that among the cultivators on this trip, there are two cultivators in the late stage of Void Refinement. Da Yuanshuang is one of them, what about the other one?" Wei Tu's eyes flashed as he looked at the six Void Refinement cultivators standing in the warm pavilion with him.

Among these six Void-Refining cultivators, the identities of Da Yuanshuang and Xu Qingxuan have been confirmed.

The remaining four people worked in groups of two.

One group was made up of middle-aged monks, who looked like a couple and behaved very intimately.

The other group was a mix of old and young. The old man had a gloomy face and pockmarks on his face, and looked difficult to get along with. The young man was a "dwarf" half a person's height, laughing and talking in an indecent manner.

"The other late stage of the Void Refining Realm is that dwarf?"

Soon, relying on the magical power of "blood sensing", Wei Tu, with his eyes slightly closed, found the real master hidden among the four people.

He raised his eyebrows, a little stunned, because the appearance of the half-grown dwarf did not look like a so-called "late stage of refining emptiness" strong man, but rather a bit like an ordinary fool.

"Great wisdom appears foolish, this cultivation must be extraordinary."

Wei Tu retracted his contempt.

Little did he know that his humble and pleasing appearance at the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm had also attracted the attention of the cultivators present.

After all, most of the cultivators who were eager to escape from Dingyuan Immortal City at this time were human cultivators, and among the human cultivators... there were very few who were in the early stage of refining emptiness who could come to Dingyuan Immortal City.

However, because his realm was real, although other cultivators had some doubts about him, they did not pay much attention to him after taking a few quick glances.

"Friend Suo Dao, it's getting late. It's time to take us to the teleportation array."

After waiting in the warm room for half a day, the old man with the pockmarked face became the first to become restless and questioned Deputy Envoy Suo.

As soon as these words fell.

The middle-aged male cultivator who was suspected to be his Taoist companion also echoed the words.

"Not bad, fellow cableman."

"I think you know our situation. The sooner we can leave Dingyuan Immortal City, the sooner we can get safe."

Although Da Yuanshuang did not say anything, the stern gaze made his thoughts clear.

In the confrontation between high-level cultivators, Wei Tu, a little unknown person in the early stage of refining emptiness, had no right to speak. He stood aside, waiting for the situation to develop.

"Of course. Since I have accepted your money, I will definitely keep my promise..."

Deputy Envoy Suo responded with a smile, without showing any displeasure at all.

His attitude was very different from the one he had shown towards Wei Tu half a month ago. After all, if these powerful men were really furious, they would have the confidence and strength to kill him.

"Please wait another quarter of an hour."

Deputy Envoy Suo gave a specific time.

After hearing this answer, the pockmarked old man exchanged a glance with the half-grown dwarf who was traveling with him, snorted in dissatisfaction, sat down with his arms folded, and continued to wait patiently.

The middle-aged Taoist friend saw that the pockmarked old man had lost his momentum and would not foolishly offend the "dealer" any more, so he regained his composure.

A quarter of an hour passed quietly.

Just when the cultivators could no longer wait and were ready to continue questioning Deputy Envoy Suo, Deputy Envoy Suo stood up at this critical moment, waved his sleeves, and opened a mechanism in the warm room.

There was a slight "click" sound.

Below the warm room, a winding stone path leading underground immediately appeared.

"The long-distance teleportation array of Chengxin Pavilion was sealed by the large array set up by Dingyuan Immortal City seven days ago... So if we want to help you leave Dingyuan Immortal City this time, we can only borrow the teleportation array of other forces..."

"Fortunately, I'm lucky. Chengxin Pavilion has a wide network of contacts. I was able to borrow a 'super long-distance teleportation array' that has not yet been isolated by the immortal city's array..."

"However, because of this reason, I delayed everyone's time for a while."

Deputy Envoy Suo led the way in front, and as he walked, he explained to the cultivators following behind him.

After hearing this, the expressions of the cultivators looked slightly better, and they no longer had the dissatisfaction they had before.

Because they also knew that what Deputy Envoy Suo said was true. In just half a year, many forces' long-distance teleportation arrays had been "sealed off" by the Xiancheng officials.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought of leaving as quickly as possible through the unknown black market channels. (End of this chapter)
