I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

The external environment is safe.

Wei Tu began to sort out what he had gained from his journey in the "small spiritual world" in the cave.

The biggest gain, naturally, was a batch of Holy Spirit Stones that he and Da Yuanshuang looted from the Holy Spirit Kingdom, as well as some sixth-level spiritual medicines that were enough to allow him to advance to the late stage of refining emptiness.

Secondly, there are some “life-locking stakes” obtained in the Kingdom of the Holy Spirit.

Similar to the situation in the Earth Spirit Kingdom, the dark side of the immortal cultivation world in the Holy Spirit Kingdom also began to popularize the secret technique of Locking Life.

This is obviously the work of Lou Boyang.

However, it was also a great bargain for him.

When attacking a family of demon cultivators, Da Yuanshuang seized a large number of Life-Locking Pillars from the collection of their ancestor.

The two of them split the bill 50-50.

Wei Tu took this opportunity and seized the only high-level Life-Locking Stake among these Life-Locking Stakes at the cost of selling some other spiritual objects.

"The Life-locking Pillar made by a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Void is extremely rare, even during the chaos in Dingyuan Immortal City. More importantly, this high-level Life-locking Pillar... is the wind-attributed Life-locking Pillar required by the Sky-Splitting Eagle..."

Wei Tu smiled, opened the jade box in his palm, and stared at the spiritual bone stick in his hand.

It is only three inches long, and looks like a part of the spine cut from a human body. It is white in color, but because of the powerful realm of its owner when he was alive, its texture is like jade, and it is shining under the magical power.

"You're lucky." After examining it for a moment, Wei Tu withdrew his gaze and without any reluctance, he pinched the magic formula and injected it into the body of the Sky-Splitting Eagle.

If we ignore the evil nature and bloody smell that the Locking Life Pillar had when it was born, this thing is also a good spiritual item for breaking through the ranks in the world of cultivation.

However, as a cultivator who aspires to achieve the great Dao, Wei Tu naturally would not pay any attention to this evil creature.

Secondly, the three major clans, including the Ghost Phoenix Clan, also possess the secret technique to detect and identify whether a cultivator has refined the "Life-Locking Stake". For the sake of his future, he should not be greedy for the shortcut of "Life-Locking Stake" and make himself become an "evil cultivator" in the eyes of others.

If he offended the Mist Ghost Clan and the Four-Armed Ape Clan, the status of the human race in the spiritual world could help him withstand the pressure. But if he offended the three major hegemonic clans... then, not only would the human race find it difficult to protect him, but even he himself would probably be punished to a certain extent.

The three dominant clans are the real masters of the spiritual world!

This is an iron law recognized by all races in the spiritual world!
"Cry!" An eagle's cry was heard. The Sky-Splitting Eagle was hit into the high-level "Life-Locking Stake". A look of pain appeared on the eagle's face, and its eagle eyes seemed to ooze blood and tears because of the severe pain.

But at this moment, the increase in his magic power is real.

Although more than 90% of the magic power of the "Life-Locking Stake" in its body was sealed by Wei Tu, just less than 10% of the high-quality magic power was enough to make the Sky-Splitting Eagle fat in one bite.

Not long after, the realm barrier that had bound the Sky-Splitting Eagle for many years finally loosened, and the spiritual pressure of its demon body instantly rose, rushing towards the late fifth level.

At this time, the Blood-Winged Mote, who was promoted to the "chief steward" beside Wei Tu, escaped from the spirit beast bag. It glanced at Wei Tu with its human-like eyes, then stretched out its little claws, "captured" the Sky-Splitting Eagle with great magic power, and took it to the beast room on the side to take care of its breakthrough.

"The Holy Spirit Stone, the spiritual medicine required to break through the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, and some Life-Locking Pillars... This trip to the Small Spirit Realm is dangerous, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an adventure..."

"The only pity is that we are missing the great treasure trove of the Ghostly Soul."

Wei Tu exhaled a breath and looked at the empty "Spirit-Fixing Talisman" in his hand, slightly dazed.

This time, when he escaped into the "space tunnel" connecting the two worlds, he also destroyed the ghost god's soul according to the previous agreement.

In the ancient demon world and the spirit world, he did not dare to attack the ghost god's soul, for fear that destroying this soul would allow its original body, the Weeping River Demon Lord, to notice it, thus exposing his own location and whereabouts.

But in the space tunnel, this worry undoubtedly does not exist.

However, by destroying this soul, he also lost a "master" who could help him guide the way forward. He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. Although this soul was captured by himself and destroyed by his own hands...

"Bai Zhi, Red Dragon Ancestor, Weeping River Demon Lord..."

"Among these three people, Bai Zhi is the least ambitious. She is the only one who wholeheartedly assists and helps me."

Wei Tu recalled the past and felt more nostalgic for his friend Bai Zhi.

……

With the cave as a cover, the Sky-Splitting Eagle's breakthrough to the late fifth stage did not make much noise, at least no one in the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple paid attention to it.

Taking this opportunity, Wei Tu returned to Dangyang Mountain to pay homage to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

One is to congratulate this girl on her breakthrough to the realm of refining emptiness.

The second is to inquire about Elder Lan.

In front of Jiang Lingzi, he was hesitant and could not express his opinion. After all, if he was too murderous because of a small matter, it would inevitably be suspected of destroying the friendship between fellow disciples...

Furthermore, even if Jiang Lingzi helped him, he could only protect him officially, and it was impossible for him to directly help him deal with Elder Lan - in that case, Jiang Lingzi would be his thug, not a "senior".

Of course, Wei Tu was not that murderous at the moment. He investigated the matter to find out whether Elder Lan was targeting him as a personal matter or at the instruction of the Jingwang Society.

The former is nothing more than a case of scabies and is not worth mentioning.

When there is a chance, we can eradicate this cultivator.

And the latter...

He has to be careful.

Although he had the protection of Duan Jiu and Jiang Lingzi at this time, it was easy to dodge an open knife but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark, and these two people could not protect him all the time.

Learned that Wei Tu was visiting.

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl immediately swept the bed to welcome him.

The two had not seen each other for more than a hundred years. The last time they met was when they first arrived at Dangyang Mountain after traveling from Lei Ze Continent.

The two of them had a pleasant conversation and the atmosphere was harmonious.

However, when the beautiful eyes of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl looked at Wei Tu, their light was slightly dim.

As both of them are Great Lords of Refining Void, although she is now standing on the same scenery line as Wei Tu, she knows very well that the early stage of Refining Void is her "upper limit" for the next thousand years, while the "middle stage of Refining Void" is far from Wei Tu's "upper limit".

"We can only hope that Mr. Wei won't be able to break through the fusion realm as quickly as Senior Jiang Lingzi." The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl smiled bitterly at her own selfishness.

As a good friend, she was delighted with Wei Tu's achievements in the spiritual world, but she was also afraid that the step Wei Tu was standing on was too high and she would have difficulty even reaching him.

"I have just been promoted to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm. It will be difficult for me to improve my realm in a short period of time. Therefore... in the next hundred years, I will practice the art of talismans and the art of alchemy in the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple. I will not leave easily. If Miss Rushui does not mind... I wonder if you can help me a little..."

"Help Wei buy some spiritual medicines and materials."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

He didn't know what the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl was thinking, but as a good friend, as long as it did not affect his own interests, he didn't mind giving the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl corresponding care and giving her a hand.

More than ten years ago, when this woman came out of seclusion, although she did not accept Elder Lan's invitation to go out and search for his whereabouts, which seemed a bit heartless and ungrateful, but in fact... this woman was the one who worked most hard in finding his whereabouts in Dangyang Mountain.

Jiang Lingzi didn't mind telling him this information when he met him.

Besides, what he said was realistic.

He is now a prominent figure and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is imperative for him to reduce travel.

The task of purchasing spiritual medicines naturally fell to other people. But this cultivator...his realm was too low, so it was difficult for him to enter some auctions and trade fairs.

So, after all, the only one who can help him is the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, who has a good relationship with him and is at a high level.

As for safety…

The Holy Emperor Domain is the core area of ​​the human race. It is difficult to investigate the disappearance of other cultivators, but for cultivators of the Void Refining Stage like the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, nothing will happen to them.

"I am willing to serve Mr. Wei in this matter."

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl did not hesitate and agreed with a smile.

Not to mention anything else, just based on the "potential" revealed by Wei Tu, there are countless people in Dangyang Mountain who want to use this to establish a relationship with Wei Tu.

She would not refuse this.

"As for the reward, if the spiritual medicines collected are quite scarce, then we will give you a corresponding share of spiritual pills as a reward... Of course, it is also feasible for Miss Shui to directly ask for spiritual crystals..."

Wei Tu talked about business and stated a series of details.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this contract favored the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, and Wei Tu was intent on training her to be one of “his own.”

Of course, based on the fifth-level monster skins that the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl gave to Wei Tu when he was in the human world and which solved his urgent needs, it is not impossible for Wei Tu to directly reciprocate - but if he does so, the relationship will not last long, and it will be like a tit-for-tat, and they will not owe each other anything in the future.

After the greetings.

Wei Tu then mentioned Elder Lan.

He did not hide anything from the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and directly told her about the grudge between him and Elder Lan, as well as the dark force behind this cultivator - the Jingwang Society.

Since Elder Lan involved the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl in this matter, it meant that he and the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl had stood on the same front and shared the same hatred of the enemy.

"The King is shocked at the meeting..." Upon hearing this, a hint of fear appeared on the face of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

The force composed of five powerful beings combined is a hegemon anywhere in the spiritual world.

"But in my opinion, this matter is more like Elder Lan's own decision. This beast invited me to go out and look for Mr. Wei. Since his purpose is to harm me... then if King Jing ordered it, he would not use this trick. He can just find an overseas mission to let me leave the heartland of the human race..."

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl analyzed calmly.

She was not like Wei Tu, who entered the Human Ancestor Temple not long after breaking through the Refining Void, and had the direct protection of the Human Ancestor Temple...

——The despicable means used by the higher-ups to force the monks to death could have been used directly on her. There was no need to deliberately trick her like Elder Lan did.

At this point, Golden Silkworm Snow Girl and Wei Tu tacitly "hid" Jiang Lingzi and chose not to mention it.

The two of them knew very well that a large part of the reason why Jiang Lingzi valued them was due to Wei Tu.

Once Wei Tu dies, Jiang Lingzi might "take care" of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl, but he will definitely not put in much effort.

Indifference is the norm in the world of cultivation.

"In that case... you and I can keep an eye on this beast, but for the short term, there's no need to be too vigilant..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned at first, then seemed to think of something and smiled faintly.

Elder Lan is in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. Although he is one realm higher than him, his record is mediocre.

When this cultivator was in the early stage of refining emptiness, he did not dare to cross the line too much. Now that he has returned to Dangyang Mountain, without the support of the Jingwang Society, even if he is resentful, he will lie dormant for a short period of time and will not deliberately make a move.

"Mr. Wei is right."

The Golden Silkworm Snow Girl nodded in agreement.

Next, Wei Tu took out the list of elixirs that he had prepared long ago and handed it to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

……

Farewell to the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

After returning to the secret realm of the Renzu Temple, Wei Tu resumed his orderly life of cultivation.

According to his original idea of ​​joining the Ancestor Temple, he used the ways of alchemy and talismans to help himself gain merit points from the Ancestor Temple.

This is also another way to obtain elixirs for body refining.

Of course, with such hard work, it would take at least four or five hundred years for him to successfully exchange for a sixth-level body-refining elixir.

Moreover, the body-refining elixir he exchanged for could not guarantee that he could successfully break through the body-refining realm.

"This is the difficulty of body refining. The higher the realm, the more resources that are useful for body refining decrease sharply..."

"This path is worthy of being called the ancient cultivation path."

Wei Tu secretly shook his head.

However, even so, Wei Tu was not willing to give up this increasingly difficult path.

During his practice so far, the dual cultivation of Dharma and body has helped him so much. If it were not for the high combat power brought by the dual cultivation of Dharma and body, he would have died in some corner of the lower realm long ago.

Secondly, practicing both the Dharma and the body seems to be a possible answer to advancing to the Tribulation Realm.

Not all those who break through the realm of transcending tribulation are those who practice both the Dharma and the body. But those who can still practice both the Dharma and the body in the realm of Mahayana have a 30% to 40% chance of being promoted to a transcending tribulation immortal in the history of the spirit world.

This is more realistic than the "life cultivation breakthrough" pursued by Fairy Xuanling!

……

time flies.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Wei Tu that caused a brief sensation in the Holy Emperor Domain was gradually forgotten and things returned to calm.

This is normal. Every few hundred or thousand years, one or two human prodigies like Jiang Lingzi will be born in the huge human race of the Spirit World...

So far, every human cultivator who has been able to achieve a great power of fusion has been a darling of the times and many are legendary.

In comparison, Wei Tu is just a small ripple in the tide of human race in the past two or three hundred years.

Some people care, but more people just care but don’t pay too much attention.

but--

In the secret realm of the Human Ancestor Temple, an alchemist named Fu suddenly became famous.

Many of the human race's geniuses in the realm of refining the void know that a sixth-rank mid-grade alchemist has emerged in the Human Ancestor Hall. The elixirs he refines rarely fail and are of excellent quality.

"Master Fu..."

Some high-ranking members of the Combined Body who knew this name, after a brief investigation, set their sights on Wei Tu.

After all, the source of the elixir is difficult to conceal.

But they did not publicize it, but tacitly covered it up for Wei Tu.

There are many Void-Refining Monks in the Renzu Temple, but only a few have the aptitude to make pills.

Besides, Wei Tu still has the hope of being promoted to the fusion stage... They naturally don't mind covering up a little for this junior. After all, when Wei Tu is promoted to the fusion stage and becomes a seventh-rank alchemist in the future, it will be of great benefit to them by then.

During this period.

It is worth mentioning that.

Xue Qiongyu also sent another letter to Wei Tu through the hand of the Golden Silkworm Snow Girl.

Of course, they used a code word known to both of them.

Even if you are investigated, you don't have to worry about the news leaking out.

There wasn't much in the letter.

I just want to congratulate Wei Tu for escaping danger and breaking through to the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, which puts him at the same level as her.

At the same time, Xue Qiongyu reminded Wei Tu, hoping that Wei Tu would remember their agreement and not miss the time to enter Dinghai Xianxu.

"The "Great Success" in the middle stage of Void Refining..."

"This girl's realm has broken through faster than I thought. She is truly worthy of being the heir carefully nurtured by the Snow Infant Clan leader..."

After reading the letter, Wei Tu sighed silently. The realm he had worked so hard to reach was just a "spare space" for Xue Qiongyu as a second-generation immortal. (End of this chapter)
