I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

You know, his original idea was to join forces with Xu Qingxuan to deal with the leader of the Demon Cloud Sect who had not yet broken through the fusion realm.

This cultivator was his imaginary enemy decades ago!
Now it seems that he was a little overconfident. He had the support of the "Six Kingdoms in the Marsh" and was even connected to the ancient demons. He was far from the isolated and helpless human traitor he had imagined...

"Luckily, I encountered Lou Boyang and came to this small spiritual world by accident. Otherwise, if I really became an enemy of the Demon Cloud Sect... the danger might be no less than that of the One-Faced Tianyan Master..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced.

It is extremely difficult for cultivators from the six countries in Zezhong to cross the "wall" between the spiritual world and the ancient demon world and go to the spiritual world. The large number of powerful combined warriors stranded there are enough to prove this.

And the Demon Cloud Cult can "go anywhere"...

He was 100% certain that it was closely related to the ancient demon behind the "Small Spirit World".

After all, in the human race of the spiritual world, the Demon Cloud Sect was a traitor to the human race that was recruited by the demons of the ancient demon world when they invaded the spiritual world. They were originally followers of the ancient demons.

However, since it was an important matter, Wei Tu did not jump to conclusions easily, but asked Fairy Miao Su indirectly for more detailed information about the "Many-Eyed Leader" she mentioned.

When they learned that this multi-eyed leader had a deputy leader named "Iron Evil Lord" to help him, they no longer had any doubts.

"Fellow Daoist E Lin, I wonder if you are willing to continue purchasing this quota? If not, I will contact other cultivators."

The shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion was not as good-tempered as Fairy Miao Su. After Wei Tu asked him questions for a while, there was finally a hint of impatience in his words.

Of course, this is also a small trick for him to increase the success rate of transactions.

The shortage of goods encourages buyers to make up their minds.

"Yes, yes... I am willing."

Wei Tu hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.

At first, he had some concerns about going to the Fire Spirit Country. After all, this country was not his final destination, and having one more transit station would delay him for a while.

But after knowing about the "Many-Eyed Leader", he had to go there.

That’s right! He suspected that the combined mighty being standing behind Deng Laogui and the other two was most likely the Multi-Eyed Leader of the Demon Cloud Cult.

His disguise was impeccable and no one could see through it.

However, Da Yuanshuang was different. Without his "life force" to cover her up, this woman shone brightly like a light bulb, and it was normal for her to attract the attention of the monks of the Demon Cloud Sect!
You know, Great Master Tiesha was also a survivor of the incident at Dingyuan Immortal City. He naturally knew what the appearance of Dayuanshuang in the "Small Spirit World" meant.

So, on one level.

He is now leaving the Earth Spirit Kingdom and heading to the Fire Spirit Kingdom, which is equivalent to leaving this "dragon's den and tiger's lair".

——If Lord Tiesha wants to capture him, he will definitely deploy heavy troops in the Earth Spirit Kingdom and the Holy Spirit Kingdom!
This is all to be expected.

Now, the reason why he has not attracted pursuers is, of course, due to the fact that his disguise skills are too perfect and he is not walking in the Earth Spirit Kingdom with his original identity.

However, for safety reasons, it is not advisable to stay in the Tuling Kingdom any longer.

He is not afraid of the pursuers from the Demon Cloud Sect.

However, once the Multi-Eyed Leader gets impatient and brings out the ancient demon behind him, the area of ​​the Earth Spirit Kingdom will be far from enough for him to hide.

"Thank you, nine mid-grade spirit crystals."

Seeing Wei Tu nodded in agreement, the owner of Yinshen Pavilion smiled faintly and told the price of this spot.

This is two more than the seven mid-grade spirit crystals that Wei Tu had mentioned before.

Obviously, he was planning to squeeze out every last bit of value from Wei Tu, a demon cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation stage.

Seeing this, Wei Tu pretended to feel pain and reluctantly took out a large number of treasures from the Evil Lin Reverend to offset the difference of the two mid-grade spirit crystals.

"As for the remaining seven, I will personally hand them over to Fairy Miao Shu when we reach the teleportation array and leave."

Wei Tu's face was cold and he spoke in a tone that could not be refused.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Hidden God Pavilion did not take it seriously. After looking at Fairy Miao Su, he agreed to the proposal.

Anyway, he is just a middleman here.

The two mid-grade spirit crystals that Wei Tu took out were enough to cover his agency fee here.

The rest should have been taken by Fairy Miao Shu.

Fairy Miao Su was not afraid that Wei Tu would go back on his word. Her old lover was a powerful warrior who was half a step away from the fusion state. Dealing with Wei Tu was as easy as killing a chicken egg. He could easily kill him.

……

After the deal is done.

Wei Tu did not leave the Hidden God Pavilion, but continued to stay in the box, following Fairy Miao Shu.

There is no other reason. It won’t be long before the Multi-Eyed Leader’s reunion ceremony. Only less than a year is left.

This year's time is undoubtedly tight. For Fairy Miao Shu, it means the time to sell the two places in hand can only be delayed by half a month at most.

And the owner of Hidden God Pavilion did not lie.

The demand for overseas teleportation is indeed quite strong in the Far West.

Two days later, under the contact of the owner of Hidden God Pavilion, a scarred man in the early stage of Refining Void walked into the box and reached a deal with the owner of Hidden God Pavilion for eight middle-grade spirit crystals.

The difference is just that of a mid-grade spirit crystal.

For the current Wei Tu, it is nothing.

But in front of Fairy Miao Shu and the owner of Yinshen Pavilion, he still looked unhappy.

Of course, this expression was fleeting. With his current status, if he expressed too much dissatisfaction in front of Fairy Miao Su, his lover who was half a step away from fusion, he would be seeking death.

"However, this girl really made a profit. With two places, she got fourteen mid-grade spirit crystals."

Wei Tu was amazed.

He still remembered what happened to him in the Wanling Fairy City. It took him twenty to thirty years of working as a sixth-rank alchemist to collect enough sixteen mid-grade spirit crystals.

Compared to this, this woman had it extremely easy. With the support of half-step fusion, she easily earned a fortune that was unimaginable given her level of cultivation.

“Hiss, with the support of Dayuanshuang, it seems that I have accumulated a fortune that is not in line with my level…” Suddenly, Wei Tu thought of this and felt strange.

I meditated in the box for a few more days.

Fairy Miao Su then took Wei Tu and the scarred man out of the Hidden God Pavilion and went to the outside of the market town to meet his lover.

Fairy Miao Shu's lover also had a grand ceremony.

In other words, this is the kind of pomp and ceremony that a king should have in a small place like the spiritual world.

On the clouds, dozens of beautiful maids gathered together, surrounding an extremely luxurious carved carriage like a guard. In front of the carved carriage was not an ordinary spirit horse, but a sixth-order mid-stage demon beast with a terrifying aura and the shape of a tiger or leopard.

"Junior greets Mr. Jingkong..."

The first person to speak was the scarred man who was following Fairy Miao Shu and standing next to Wei Tu.

The cultivator bowed down with a slightly panicked look on his face, as if he was extremely afraid of Mr. Jingkong.

"Mr. Jingkong?" At this time, Wei Tu also learned the origin of this cultivator from the spiritual memory of Venerable E Lin.

This cultivator is a tyrant in the far west. He is the most evil cultivator among all the evil cultivators. Not only does he like beautiful women and abduct female cultivators to use as cauldrons, he also has a strange habit of killing someone every three days.

The so-called "kill once every three days" means that a cultivator must be killed randomly within three days.

This behavior will undoubtedly make the cultivators in the Far West who are not at such a high level of cultivation fear him like a tiger. After seeing this cultivator, they will be even more terrified.

“No wonder Fairy Miao Su only said that the one who was half-step into fusion was her lover, and didn’t mention his Taoist name at all…” Wei Tu had a slight realization.

There is no other reason. Once the name of this cultivator is mentioned, who would dare to do business with Fairy Miao Su?

Fortunately, Fairy Miao Su also comforted them at this time, and told Wei Tu and the others not to panic. Although Mr. Jingkong was notorious, he generally would not attack people around him.

Hearing this, Wei Tu felt a little relieved, and hurriedly imitated the male cultivator in the early stage of the Refining Void Realm, and bowed to Mr. Jingkong with fear and trepidation.

"Miao Shu, are these the two monks you want to bring with you?"

A big man with a rough, dark face and a full beard flew out of the carved carriage. He grabbed the slender waist of Fairy Miao Shu, put his big hands into her dress, kneaded it hard a few times, laughed, and asked.

A look of pain appeared on Fairy Miao Shu's rosy face, but in the next moment, an expression of flattery appeared. She nodded her head, indicating that what the bearded man said was correct.

"Well, let them follow."

The bearded man waved his hand nonchalantly, then threw the Fairy Miao Su in his arms into the carved carriage with force. In front of Wei Tu and the other two, he began to practice dual cultivation with the woman.

For a moment, heavenly music was floating in the air.

Wei Tu and the scarred man did not dare to look any longer. They lowered their heads and waited until the carriage had traveled for a distance before they disappeared in a flash and followed the maid who was accompanying them.

At this time, Wei Tu no longer complained that it was easy for Fairy Miao Su to make money.

If you are honored in front of others, you will suffer behind their backs.

Mr. Jingkong only treated this girl as a plaything. The sixteen mid-grade spirit crystals sold for the two places were just a small reward for his pet.

However, this has nothing to do with Wei Tu. He only hopes that this demon can take him safely to the Fire Spirit Kingdom.

half a month later.

Following Mr. Jingkong's convoy, Wei Tu successfully arrived at the capital of Tuling Kingdom again after decades.

It was pretty much what he had guessed.

The royal capital is loose on the outside but tight on the inside, and the surveillance power has obviously been raised to several levels compared to before.

He could clearly sense that there were several half-step fusion monks spying on the direction of the royal capital's cross-border teleportation array.

Including the hall where the cross-border teleportation array is located, there is also a powerful figure sitting in the dark.

Although he had never seen this cultivator before, he was not unfamiliar with his appearance.

He is none other than the "Ancestor Lu" who has a great reputation in the Tuling Kingdom.

He is also the "old lover" of the female cultivator from the Cheng family.

"Sure enough, Ancestor Lu has teamed up with another powerful fusion being who is hostile to me..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath and suppressed the doubt in his heart.

He followed Mr. Jingkong's maid and walked into the teleportation hall with a normal expression.

Soon, the spiritual consciousness from Patriarch Lu fell on him silently.

However, they come and go in a hurry.

After Patriarch Lu simply swept his spiritual sense over him, it fell on the next cultivator.

"It has been nearly a year since the Deng family cultivator sent the message. How come we haven't found that young man yet..."

At the back of the teleportation hall, Elder Lu was sitting cross-legged, looking at the people coming and going, with a hint of impatience between his brows.

One or two years is just a moment for him.

But hiding here and searching for the traces of Wei Tu and Da Yuan Shuang personally was a tough job for a great master like him.

"If Duoyan hadn't said... that if he found that monk, he could send me to the spirit world, I wouldn't be bothered to do it."

Patriarch Lu was unhappy and cursed inwardly.

"Wait a little longer. One or two years is too short. Wait for a dozen or even dozens of years. I don't believe that young man won't show up..."

Patriarch Lu narrowed his eyes, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and continued tirelessly using his huge combined spiritual consciousness to detect every cultivator who entered the teleportation hall.

……

Half a day later.

As Wei Tu was worried, the transnational teleportation array leading to the Fire Spirit Nation finally began to experience spatial fluctuations under the control of the array master in the hall.

Following a flash of yellow light.

He had already left the Earth Spirit Kingdom with Mr. Jingkong, Fairy Miao Shu and others, and appeared in the capital of the Fire Spirit Kingdom.

It is visible to the naked eye that the capital of the Fire Spirit Kingdom is much more prosperous than the capital of the Earth Spirit Kingdom. It is bustling with people, and the proportion of strong people is also much higher than that of the Earth Spirit Kingdom.

There is no need to guess, Wei Tu also knew that this should be influenced by the merger ceremony held by the Multi-Eyed Leader.

After the money and goods were settled with Fairy Miao Shu.

Wei Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to look for a place to stay in the capital of the Fire Spirit Kingdom, looking for an opportunity to go to the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

However, he hadn't stayed in the inn for a few days.

The scarred man who had accompanied him to the Fire Spirit Kingdom suddenly came to him and invited him to join the Demon Cloud Sect.

“Join the Demon Cloud Sect?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows secretly, a little bit unable to believe that these words were spoken to him.

Although there is no deep hatred between him and the Demon Cloud Sect, if the Duoyan Sect Leader and Tiesha Great Venerable knew his identity, they would definitely not let him go easily.

“Fellow Daoist Elin, you have been at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm for who knows how many years. The Demon Cloud Cult is now in the process of expanding its power… Senior Duoyan is quite generous to independent cultivators like me. As long as we have made meritorious contributions, we don’t have to worry about being granted spiritual objects that can break through the ranks…”

The scarred man patiently persuaded Wei Tu and even cited several examples of cultivators at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm who successfully broke through to the Void Refinement Realm after joining the Demon Cloud Sect.

“You and I are both cultivators from the Earth Spirit Nation. In the Fire Spirit Nation, we should stick together for warmth…” The man with the scar seemed to know that Wei Tu was being hunted by his enemies, so he ran to the Fire Spirit Nation and said these words to Wei Tu in an emotional way.

His purpose was obvious. He planned to invite Wei Tu to be his subordinate and helper temporarily.

If Wei Tu is really the Evil Lin Venerable.

I am quite excited about this invitation.

But alas, he is a fake.

Joining the Demon Cloud Sect had no appeal to him at all.

"I have just arrived in the Fire Spirit Nation not long ago, and I don't know the foundation of the Demon Cloud Sect yet. If I join rashly, I may cause trouble..."

Wei Tu didn't say anything definite, but just declined politely. After all, the man with the scar in front of him was, on the surface, a much higher level than him.

But who would have thought that these words did not make the man with the scar back down.

After hearing this, his face lit up with joy.

"I am also a newcomer here, and I am not very familiar with the Demon Cloud Sect. After Fellow Daoist E Lin meets Master Lao... he will definitely know the benefits of joining the Demon Cloud Sect..."

It seems that he still thinks this statement is not convincing enough.

The scarred man hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Wei Tu: "I heard that this sect can help you and me reach the real spiritual world!"

As soon as these words fell.

Wei Tu’s eyes widened instantly.

He guessed that the Demon Cloud Sect should have mastered the method of entering and exiting the ancient demon world and the spiritual world, but he never thought that this sect would spread this news so openly.

The spiritual world, for the cultivators in the "small spiritual world", is almost equivalent to the "upper world", with countless opportunities and fortunes.

Many cultivators believe that as long as they reach the spiritual world, they will have the opportunity to break the upper limit of their realm and break through to a higher realm.

From this point, it is not difficult to imagine the temptation of the spiritual world to the monks in the small spiritual world.

“Are you serious?” Wei Tu asked in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, the man with the scar first nodded, and then shook his head.

"This is a rumor spread by outsiders. But I think it is true... I can feel that the aura of Master Lao is very different from that of you and me..."

"Also, I have also inquired about the leader of the Multi-Eyed Sect. This cultivator suddenly appeared in the Fire Spirit Country. Before that, there was no news of his deeds in the Fire Spirit Country... including the high-level followers around him, they are all very mysterious..."

The scarred man said again. (End of this chapter)
