I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

In the blink of an eye, the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool within three feet of Wei Tu, under the frenzied absorption of Wei Tu's "Scripture of Forging the Immortal Source," changed from dark red to a light color like water, and then disappeared completely.

Fortunately, the Dragon Transformation Pool was several meters in circumference, and the water in the distance quickly filled it again, tightly enveloping Wei Tu's body once more.

However, it was visibly clear that the water level had dropped by about a fist's width compared to when Wei Tu first entered.

moment.

Two quarters of an hour...

Half an hour later, another huge amount of Dragon Transformation Pool spiritual liquid was devoured by Wei Tu. His physical body was like a black hole, difficult to be filled with spiritual liquid.

"It's decreasing too quickly." Two hours later, Wei Tu noticed this, frowned slightly, and slowed down the speed at which the "Forging Dao Immortal Source Scripture" refined the Dragon Transformation Pool spiritual liquid.

He hadn't forgotten that the Dragon Transformation Pool's spiritual liquid was extremely precious to Shaluo Nu, as it was the key to purifying her bloodline.

It's not a big deal if he takes a little more.

However, if he were to destroy this woman's "bloodline evolution," the Dark Serpent Clan, who are currently on good terms with him, as well as the other two clans, would likely turn against him immediately and seek revenge.

At that time, even if he is indeed the "seed of fusion" secretly cultivated by the nine tribes, he will not escape being purged.

—This is because it has incurred the wrath of the entire dragon race. The purification of bloodlines at the Dragon Transformation Assembly is an extremely sacred and important matter for the dragon race. Even the noble royal family of the Feathered Dragon Clan cannot easily "interfere".

"Fellow Daoist Fu is a good person..."

At the same time, seeing that the rate at which the water level in the Dragon Transformation Pool was dropping had greatly slowed down, Shaluo, who had taken off her palace dress and was bathing and cultivating in the water, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The amount of spiritual liquid in the "Dragon Transformation Pool" within each pavilion is limited. It decreases sequentially according to the ranking.

In other words, if Wei Tu eats one more bite, she, who "bathes" with Wei Tu, will have to eat one less bite.

Currently, Wei Tu is slowing down the refining process, which is clearly to take care of her companion.

"If possible, Fellow Daoist Fu would also be a good match..."

The woman was in a good mood and subconsciously shook her snake tail in the Dragon Transformation Pool. At this moment, her snake tail was forked like a fish tail. Under the rippling water, a pair of fair and flawless, slender jade legs adorned with light blue snake scales could be vaguely seen.

At that time, Wei Tu was introduced by Aunt Zuo to the Dark Serpent Clan. As a proud daughter of heaven, she had a good impression of Wei Tu, but in her heart, she only regarded Wei Tu as a connection that she could make friends with in the future.

Her behavior was one of humble compromise.

However, the situation changed slightly after Wei Tu revealed his true strength at the Dragon Transformation Conference.

In terms of background and potential, Wei Tu is no less than her... to put it bluntly, he is far superior.

At that time, although Aunt Zuo did not say it explicitly, judging from her expression, she must have had the idea of ​​her trying to get close to Wei Tu. After all, Wei Tu was also a cultivator from one of the nine major tribes, and he was within easy reach. It was much easier than going to Immortal Dragon City for a social event and marrying a young and promising man from another of the nine major tribes!
Previously, she had some reservations, but now, seeing how gentle Wei Tu was and how considerate he was of her, she was gradually becoming interested.

……

Although the refining speed has been slowed down.

However, Wei Tu's body refinement level was also steadily and slowly improving under the impetus of the Dragon Transformation Pool's spiritual liquid.

"If I could devour the entire spiritual liquid in this Dragon Transformation Pool, I would have a chance to push my Body Refinement Realm to the late stage of the sixth rank in one fell swoop... It's just a pity that I'm sharing it with Shaluo Nu..."

As Wei Tu considered the total amount of spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool, this thought arose in his mind, but at this moment, there was no sign of disappointment on his face.

The reason is simple: this is just theory, not reality.

More than fifty years ago, he had just used the "Snow Heart Fruit" to break through from the early stage of body refinement to the middle stage of Void Refinement.

Now, only a few decades have passed, and his foundation in body cultivation is far from solid.

Although he has enough foundation to break through to the late stage of the sixth rank, if he is so eager for quick success, the "seventh rank body refinement" realm may very well become an insurmountable barrier for him.

Therefore, even disregarding the Shaluo woman with whom he "bathed," he still had to strictly control his cultivation progress.

"But even half of the Dragon Transformation Pool's spiritual liquid shouldn't be too difficult to support my Body Refinement realm to the peak of the mid-stage of the sixth rank... The remaining spiritual power can be used to try that secret technique..."

Wei Tu took a deep breath, controlling his physical body to refine the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool while immersing himself in the "True Technique of Immortal Refinement" in his mind.

Time flies by.

half year later.

The spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool inside the "Jia Er" pavilion finally dried up after Wei Tu and Sha Luo Nu continuously absorbed and refined it.

The two of them did not waste any time in their cultivation.

After the pool dried up, they all flew out of the room and headed to the pavilion marked with the words "Yi San".

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your successful transformation." At this moment, Wei Tu also noticed the special features of the Shaluo woman. He glanced at her extra long, slender legs and cupped his hands in congratulations.

It is very different from its previous form as a snake-man.

After this woman transformed, although there were still some barely visible snake scales on her face, compared to normal female cultivators, she possessed not only exquisite beauty but also a captivating allure with exotic charm.

This undoubtedly aligns with Wei Tu's aesthetic preferences.

However, Wei Tu only glanced at her twice before looking away. Beauty was something that cultivators of his level could easily find, and there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

But this scene greatly disappointed the woman.

"This cultivator is truly a ascetic. He is not deliberately pretending." The beautiful eyes of the woman from the Shaluo clan flickered slightly as she thought to herself.

The two chatted as they walked into the pavilion marked "Yi San," and then entered their respective rooms to cultivate, just as before.

Although the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool in the "Yi San" pavilion was a grade lower than that in "Jia Er" in both quality and quantity, it was still enough for Wei Tu's cultivation needs.

Three months later.

His body refinement level jumped two minor levels, breaking through to the ideal mid-stage of the sixth rank, the "peak".

The day of the breakthrough.

Wei Tu also used the "spiritual power" that had not yet dissipated from his body to open up a second dantian in his body, namely the "grotto-heaven" in the "True Secret of Immortal Refining" used to store more magical power.

The process of opening up the area went very smoothly.

After all, according to the "True Secrets of Immortal Refining," body refiners at the mid-stage and late-stage of the sixth rank can attempt to open up a cave within their bodies.

The "Scripture of Forging the Immortal Source" he cultivated was a body-refining technique at the Tribulation Transcending level, which was fundamentally much stronger than that of ordinary body refiners.

Now, as a peak mid-stage sixth-level Body Refinement cultivator, opening up the first cave heaven is naturally not too difficult.

only--

Just as Wei Tu continued to absorb the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool to stabilize his first, newly opened "grotto-heaven".

Something unexpected happened.

The spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool where he was located was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its speed was even more exaggerated than the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual liquid from the Dragon Transformation Pool in the "Grade Two" pavilion half a year ago.

"Is it... Shaluo Nu? Has this woman's bloodline improved again?" Thinking of this, Wei Tu's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

The "Dragon Transformation Pool" within this secret realm was originally an opportunity for the Dark Serpent Clan, the Wood Lizard Clan, and the Crimson Dragon Clan. This woman is absorbing more of it to enhance her bloodline, which is harmless.

Moreover, he has already succeeded in breaking through his cultivation realm and opening up his grotto-heaven. As for stabilizing his grotto-heaven, he can use spirit crystals instead, without needing the precious Dragon Transformation Pool spirit liquid.

But soon.

He then cut off that thought.

Because the woman he mistakenly thought to be Kalpa was not cultivating in the next room as he imagined, but suddenly asked him about this matter through telepathy.

"Fellow Daoist Fu, did you consume and refine the spiritual liquid from the Dragon Transformation Pool? If so, you need not worry about me. Focus on your cultivation; I am... unharmed..."

As soon as these words fell.

Wei Tu immediately looked up, his face showing surprise.

The spiritual liquid in this pool was not refined by him, nor by Shaluo Nu. Could there be a third person who refined it?
"I was also wondering about this matter, and even mistakenly thought that it was you, Fellow Daoist, who had made a large-scale refinement of these spiritual liquids." Wei Tu suppressed his distracting thoughts and replied to Shaluo Nu telepathically.

As soon as these words fell.

The woman, Shaluo, couldn't sit still any longer. She said, "Fellow Daoist Fu, please come out first." With a flick of her jade arm, she rolled up her skirt by the pool, wrapped it around her snow-white body, and hurriedly walked out of the room.

At the same moment, Wei Tu followed closely behind, leaping out of another room.

After exchanging a glance, their expressions instantly became much more serious.

—The pavilion is protected by a restriction, allowing only cultivators with jade tokens to enter. It is impossible for a third party to be present.

However, if you want to reduce the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool, there is no need to send people to infiltrate the pavilions. You only need to control the amount of spiritual liquid distributed to each pavilion's Dragon Transformation Pool at the "source" of the secret realm.

But without a doubt, this potential danger is far more terrifying than a third party sneaking into the attic.

"When we were in the second pavilion, I noticed that Fellow Daoist Fu was deliberately letting me have my way, which made me suspicious. So I asked Fellow Daoist Fu about this matter... Otherwise, we would probably still be in the dark..."

The woman's face flushed slightly as she fastened the buttons on her skirt to conceal her snow-white skin, and then uttered these words.

Only then did she realize that her attire was quite different from usual. Her sudden appearance had resulted in a slight wardrobe malfunction.

Unlike before she took human form, she was now in human form and had lost her snake tail, so she could no longer dress as "sexy" as before, only covering half of her rounded body. She also followed the example of the female cultivators in Immortal Dragon City and wore more conservative clothes.

"But the secret realm hasn't changed much...it doesn't seem like there's been an invasion by foreign enemies."

Wei Tu didn't look at the beautiful scenery before him; instead, a green light flickered between his brows as he observed the changes in the outside world.

Soon, he seemed to notice something, and his expression immediately tightened.

"While we cultivators are soaking in the Dragon Transformation Pool, will the Supreme Elders of your three clans remain in the secret realm... or will they leave this place?" Wei Tu asked.

Upon hearing this, Shaluo Nu was taken aback at first, but then seemed to have thought of something and quickly replied, "When I was in the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Realms, I soaked in the Dragon Transformation Pool. At that time, the Supreme Elders of the three races guarded the secret realm and did not leave for even a moment."

"Could it be... that the Supreme Elders of the three clans have already disappeared?" After answering, Shaluo asked Wei Tu anxiously, wanting to get an answer.

“Just now, I used a secret technique to explore this secret realm and found no trace of the three elders of your clans. If there are no surprises, the three of them... should have been lured out by someone..." Wei Tu narrowed his eyes, trying to make the danger sound as tactful as possible.

"The Dragon Transformation Pool is of great importance. In addition to the Supreme Elders of the three clans, there should also be an Ancestor at the Integration Realm in charge."

"However, given the capabilities of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they shouldn't stand idly by and watch the spiritual liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool suddenly decrease... Even now, they haven't stepped forward to appease us..."

The woman calmly analyzed the situation.

However, as she analyzed the situation, she felt increasingly aware of the hidden dangers within the secret realm.

At this point, the two exchanged another glance. Although they didn't say anything more, they both decisively flew out of the pavilion at that moment.

Instead of passively facing danger, it's better to take the initiative and confront it!
Neither of them were delicate flowers in a greenhouse; as Grand Venerables of the Spirit Realm, they naturally understood this simple truth.

However, just as Wei Tu was about to use a talisman to notify Qian Fei and have this half-step Nascent Soul cultivator step in to "take responsibility," his pupils contracted slightly, and he stopped moving.

"Qian Fei's background is mysterious, and neither you nor I know his details. If he is an inside man, it would be better to inform him rashly."

Seeing the woman's puzzled expression, Wei Tu explained with these words.

Upon hearing this, the woman was slightly taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The Dark Serpent Clan, the Wood Lizard Clan, and the Crimson Dragon Clan are all "of one mind" with the outside world, but this does not include Qian Fei as an outside aid.

As Wei Tu said, rashly asking Qian Fei to take action could very likely put them in danger.

At this moment, Wei Tu also locked onto a certain direction. After a slight glance, he flicked his sleeve and transformed into a streak of light, flying away to the "wilderness" far from the pavilion.

These "wilderness areas" are heavily fortified by the three races, strictly prohibiting divine sense from spying on them and forbidding outsiders from entering.

However, Wei Tu had his own way of dealing with this restriction. He made a hand seal, and a pair of azure wings, each several feet long, extended from his back.

"This wing..." Shaluo Nu was surprised and doubtful, not understanding why Wei Tu suddenly used this secret technique.

But soon, as Wei Tu unleashed his magic, wrapped his arm around her waist, and uttered the word "Escape," she was astonished to find that she and Wei Tu had passed through the spiritual barrier and arrived in the "wilderness" of the pavilion complex.

However, the woman knew that this place was not some wilderness, but the burial ground of the ancestors of their three clans.

As the princess of the Dark Serpent Clan, she also knew how to break the spirit barrier.

However, since Wei Tu has already "broken" this restriction using his unique method, there is no need for her to bring it up again.

"This Fellow Daoist Fu is no ordinary person. He has so many methods, even spatial escape techniques..." Shaluo Nu was secretly surprised and found it difficult to remain calm. She felt more and more that Wei Tu was not an ordinary person.

On the other side, Wei Tu, who had fled to this place, did not stop. He still held the Shaluo woman in his arms and flew deeper into the three-race cemetery. (End of this chapter)
