I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 214 Qingmei recovers from injury, letter from Jiang Wu (4k second update)
After writing a reply to Bao Siyan alone, Wei Tu got up and prepared to go to Che Gongwei's cave to visit Che Gongwei.

Che Gongwei had already agreed to the inheritance of Fu Tao. He was reasonable and reasonable, so he should take the initiative to go to the house instead of sitting at home and waiting for the master Che Gongwei to come to teach.

Just walked out of the cave in the backyard.

The housekeeper "Du Wenshu" who was in the front yard came up to him, bowed, and handed Wei Tu a jade box with both hands.

"Wei Zhenjun, this is your letter from the past month."

Du Wenshu said softly.

Letters are divided into official letters and ordinary letters.

The former can be automatically sent to a fixed location without the need for a post station, and is suitable for short-distance communication.

The latter requires fixed stations and personnel to deliver letters, and is suitable for long-distance communication.

The replies from Bao Siyan and Che Gongwei that Wei Tu read earlier were Fu Xin.These talisman letters were delivered directly to the door of his cave without passing through Du Wenshu's hands.

At this time, the letters in the jade box in Du Wenshu's hand were ordinary letters. They were sorted by the post station, sent to his mansion, and then received by him.

"Okay." Wei Tu nodded slightly, flicked his sleeves, put the jade box into his sleeves, and then walked out of the mansion.

Ordinary letters are handled by many people and have poor confidentiality, so the content often does not involve secrets or important matters.

Therefore, there is no need for Wei Tu to check the letter immediately. It is not too late to check it again after he is finished.

If there is really a secret or important matter to be discussed over a long distance, most monks will come in person and talk face to face to prevent the secrets from being leaked.

——Under normal circumstances, the secrets of low-level monks are not considered secrets.

There is no need for the stations of major forces to ruin their goodwill because of little people's secrets.

……

Soon.

Wei Tu came to Che Mansion.

"Master Qingmei?" Not long after entering the Che Mansion, Wei Tu met Master Qing Mei who was admiring the flowers in the front yard of the Che Mansion.

At this time, Master Qingmei was holding a bronze mirror in his hand. From time to time he would pick up a flower and put it in his bun. Then he would look in the mirror, adjust his posture, and appreciate his beauty.

After not seeing each other for more than 30 years, Wei Tu found that Master Qingmei seemed to be more mature than before. He had grown from a seven or eight-year-old child to eleven or twelve years old, and could barely be considered a girl.

At this time, Master Qingmei, in terms of beauty, could not compare with the female cultivators who enjoy the reputation of being beautiful in the world of immortality, but there was a unique innocent and pure temperament in her movements.

As brothers and sisters, when they met at this moment, Wei Tu couldn't help but leave without saying hello.

He coughed lightly,
I reminded Master Qingmei.

"I've met Senior Wei."

Hearing this cough, Master Qingmei was immediately startled. She quickly stuffed the bronze mirror into her sleeve and looked back.

After seeing that the person coming was Wei Tu, Master Qingmei immediately bowed his hands and called out "Senior".

Master Qingmei was also secretly annoyed at this time, why was Wei Tu walking silently and not even leaking a breath, so she was forced to act ugly.

Thinking of this, Master Qingmei's pink cheeks were dyed with a layer of blush, and his two small and exquisite jade ears also turned crimson.

"Junior sister Su, just call Wei as senior brother. No need to be polite." Wei Tu waved his hand, indicating that Master Qingmei did not need to see anyone outside.

——Master Qingmei, whose real name is "Su Bing'er".

"Why is Junior Sister Su at Master's residence?" Wei Tu asked.

From Master Qingmei's state just now, it was not difficult for him to tell that Master Qingmei had been living in Che Gongwei's mansion for some time.

Otherwise, Master Qingmei would not be as "presumptuous" as before.

"Seventeen years ago, Master had already found a cure for my "stubborn disease" and asked me to stay in the mansion temporarily so that I could cure it."

Master Qingmei faced Wei Tu, the golden elixir master, and he didn't even dare to breathe. He hesitated for a while and then said everything.

The voice fell.

Only then did Wei Tu remember that when Master Qingmei became a disciple, Che Gongwei had promised that he would do his best to help Master Qingmei recover his "Xuanmu Spirit Body" and help him form elixirs.

I never thought that what Che Gongwei said at the beginning was not just a pretentious statement, but the truth.

In the past few decades, I have really helped Master Qingmei find a cure, and in these 17 years, it has been very effective.

"Once Master Qingmei's Xuanmu spirit body recovers, the formation of pills will be almost a certainty for him."

Wei Tu thought.

When a spiritual monk forms an elixir, he can increase the chance of forming an elixir by [-]% out of thin air.

This probability is comparable to the probability of an ordinary monk swallowing the "Mortal Transformation Pill" to form a pill.

As for Master Qingmei, there is no doubt that he is also practicing third-level skills like him, which can increase the chance of forming pills by [-] to [-]%.

In addition, it is not easy for Master Qingmei to obtain the "Mortal Transformation Pill", but it is not difficult to buy a replacement "Blue Flame Pill".

Therefore, taking all the conditions together, the probability of Master Qingmei breaking through the pill formation is about [-] to [-]%.

"Unintentional planting willows and willows will create shade." Wei Tu sighed secretly.

In fact, when he first became a disciple, Che Gongwei was not optimistic about Master Qingmei. It was only after accepting him, Hua Xianlong, and Mu Die that he accepted Master Qingmei, who was "number one in actual combat".

In other words, Master Qingmei was just a thug that Che Gongwei took advantage of.

"It seems that in a few days, Wei will be able to call Junior Sister Su a Taoist friend." Wei Tu smiled slightly and complimented Master Qingmei casually.

However, when Master Qingmei heard this, he didn't take it seriously and did not have the idea of ​​clinging to Wei Tu, the Jindan senior brother.

She knew very well about Mu Die - back then, Mu Die had begged Wei Tu, the "elder brother", because he was helpless, but Wei Tu was cold and ruthless and did not take care of Mu Die, the junior sister.

Therefore, she heard Wei Tu's kind words but did not keep them in her heart.

"A smiling tiger!" Master Qingmei secretly commented on Wei Tu.

Wei Tu on the side had no idea that his impression in Master Qingmei's mind had reached such a bad level.

Of course, even if he knew, Wei Tu wouldn't care. After all, the current Qingmei Master only hoped for the golden elixir, and his "Xuanmu Spirit Body" was far from being cured.

After Wei Tu said hello to Master Qingmei, he walked to the "talisman house" where Che Gongwei painted the talisman, knocked on the door and entered.

"Wei Tu, you're here." When Che Gongwei saw Wei Tu coming in, he stopped drawing the talisman. He looked at Wei Tu with emotion on his face and looked at Wei Tu a few times.

"Are you willing to abide by the three promises in the letter and swear not to break your promise in the future?"

Che Gongwei stared at Wei Tu's face closely and did not relax for a moment.

Teaching the Fu Tao inheritance not only gave Wei Tu a money-making tool, but also revealed most of his own details to Wei Tu.

When Wei Tu heard this, he immediately swore to the sky without hesitation and swore the inner demon oath.

For high-level monks, the inner demon oath is more binding than ordinary spiritual contracts.

The words fell one by one.

Che Gongwei's tense expression gradually softened. He nodded, took out a yellow jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu.

"After many years of hard work as a teacher, most of it is contained in this jade slip."

Che Gongwei said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Master." Wei Tu bent down, took the yellow jade slip with both hands, and said thank you.

After taking the jade slip, Wei Tu did not rush to read the contents. Instead, he stood aside and waited for Che Gongwei's instructions.

Seeing that Wei Tu was still willing to hold the disciple ceremony after accepting the jade slips, Che Gongwei nodded secretly, and his impression of Wei Tu became better.

You know, there are many people in the world who are not even willing to do superficial things.

Compared to this, his "cheap apprentice" was far ahead.

"Have you met Bing'er just now?" Che Gongwei took his seat and asked another topic.

The entire mansion was shrouded in his consciousness, and he knew everything Wei Tu had done from the time he entered the mansion to now.

Wei Tu nodded.

"If I treat her injuries for more than thirty years, I can hope to restore her black wood spirit body to its original state."

"You used to have secrets and didn't want to get too close to Mu Die and the others. As a teacher, you can understand this."

"However, now, you have achieved the golden elixir. I hope you... can get closer to Bing'er, Die'er and others."

Che Gongwei said slowly.Before Wei Tu became his disciple, he had investigated Wei Tu. After knowing that Wei Tu was an emotional person, he "entrusted Wei Tu with an important responsibility".

Unexpectedly, Wei Tu's subsequent performance disappointed him greatly.

But now that I think about it, Che Gongwei also understands Wei Tu's alienation measures.

——More than 30 years ago, Wei Tu’s realm reached the late stage of foundation building, and he also possessed the precious treasure “Mortal Transformation Pill”. How could he focus on helping him cultivate “Mu Die” and others? It was too late to hide.

"The disciple understands."

Wei Tu nodded and agreed.

Being close to Master Qingmei and other juniors and juniors is just the superficial meaning of Che Gongwei's words. The real meaning is to let him, as a disciple, get closer to the master in his future actions.

This is human nature.

After all, Che Gongwei has given him part of his "core inheritance". At this time, he is not only Che Gongwei's disciple, but also one of Che Gongwei's de facto successors.

Hearing Wei Tu's answer, Che Gongwei looked satisfied. He waved his hand to Wei Tu and said, "I have other important matters as a teacher, so please leave first."

The sentence falls.

Wei Tu didn't want to bother Che Gongwei anymore, so he bowed and left.

After Wei Tu left Che Mansion.

At this time, a figure walked out of the inner room of Fuwu and sat across from Che Gongwei.

This figure, dressed in a green robe with a jade band on his forehead, looks like a handsome young man.

If Wei Tu were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the third-order formation master "Qi Chengchu" whom he met more than ten days ago.

"Wei Tu is indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that his heart is not dark enough." After Qi Chengchu sat down, he glanced at the door of Fuwu and said with a slight smile.

If he were Wei Tu, he would have agreed to the plan and planned the inheritance of the Huang family long ago if he knew there was a chance to take revenge on the Huang family in Heshan.

How could I give up this great opportunity because of old feelings?

"If your heart is too dark, Che will not dare to pass on the inheritance of his Talisman Master." Hearing this, Che Gongwei shook his head and said.

The inheritance of the third-level Talisman Master is too involved.

Therefore, before imparting the inheritance of the Wei Tu Talisman Master, Che Gongwei also reported the matter to "Qi Chengchu", the leader of the "Jingguo Faction" of the Sanxian Alliance, and discussed it with Qi Chengchu.

"Wei Tu has been practicing for a short time, and it is normal to have benevolent thoughts."

Qi Chengchu commented.

He added: "But because of this incident, Qi Mou saw the possibility of our Sanxian Alliance uniting as one."

"As long as there are more and more Jindan monks who don't agree with the faction like Wei Tu, there will be no more factional disputes in the Sanxian Alliance."

Although Qi Chengchu is the leader of the Jingguo faction in the Sanxian Alliance, he also hates factional disputes.

However, he could not retreat from the struggle for interests. He could only ignore it all and even continue to promote the struggle between factions.

People are complicated.

Weakness will only bring more criticism from the other faction, but will not bring peace between the factions at all.

Only by introducing new forces can the struggle between the two factions gradually ease or even be bridged.

Qi Chengchu knew this very well.

In Qi Chengchu's view, Wei Tu is this new force, the new centrist.

"The golden elixir is difficult to achieve, and now there is a danger of demonic invasion from outside. The Sanxian Alliance... may not be able to wait until that day."

Che Gongwei looked worried.

Although the strategy of Qi Chengchu, a brilliant man, is good and has been the strategy of the Sanxian Alliance for thousands of years, the Sanxian Alliance is far more than just an internal crisis.

The invasion of the devil is the real sharp blade hanging over the head of the Sanxian Alliance.

"We can only take one step and watch one step." Qi Chengchu shook his head and sighed: "The devil needs to be prepared and resisted, but internal changes must also be made..."

"Perhaps, the devil's path will stop at Jingguo."

Qi Chengchu joked.

However, Che Gongwei on the side noticed that when he said these words, Qi Chengchu's eyes seemed to have a hint of hope.

……

An hour later.

In the cave, Wei Tu opened the jade box that Du Wenshu handed him this morning.

There are probably nearly a hundred letters in the jade box, which is ridiculously large.

A letter was taken out of the jade box by Wei Tu.

To Weitu's surprise.

More than [-]% of the signatures on these letters were monks he did not know, and more than [-]% were monks with whom he had only casual acquaintances.

"Wealth in the mountains has distant relatives." Wei Tu once again deeply felt the meaning of this sentence.

In ordinary life, after he was elected as a military attache, a large group of relatives who were beyond his reach sent him letters, hoping that he would help arrange errands.

Later, after reading those letters, he burned them without even paying attention to them.

After all, he does not have the ambition to dominate the world.

Wei Tu casually opened a few letters signed by strange monks.

As he expected, most of the contents in these envelopes were related to him.

There are even a few foundation-building monks who want to pay the apprenticeship ceremony and become their disciple.

"They are older than me." Wei Tu had heard the names of these foundation-building monks, he raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

In addition to the letters about worshiping him as a disciple, there are also some letters from small forces and small families who want to attach themselves to him and join the Sanxian Alliance.

Wei Tu ignored it.

Later, Wei Tu began to deal with letters from old friends.

The contents of these letters are much simpler and basically the same.

They were all words of congratulations for his breakthrough to the golden elixir.

After reading these letters, Wei Tu closed the jade box and prepared to practice hard in seclusion again to study the inheritance of the third-level Talisman Master in his hand.

But as soon as he got up, after thinking for a moment, he sat down again, opened the jade box, and continued to open it.

Perhaps, the "treasure offered" by the strange monk here would be useful to him.

Nearly a hundred letters will not waste much time.

After reading forty or fifty letters.

until--

A letter signed "Jiang Wu".

"The state of Zheng will change and become an outcast of the Seven Kingdoms Righteous Alliance?" When Wei Tu saw the contents of the letter, his eyes narrowed slightly and he was startled.

The rhetoric in this letter is very vague and a bit alarmist.

But... Wei Tu believed it.

Because the monk who wrote to him was not an ordinary person, but Zhao Jiangwu, the ancestor of Jindan of the Qiyue Zhao family.

It's just that Zhao Jiangwu concealed his surname "Zhao" in the signature column.

"But Zhao Jiangwu is also very generous. You want to use this ordinary letter to send me a letter? Instead of sending a Zhao family monk to Honghe Mountain to deliver a letter to me?" Wei Tu frowned after reading the letter.

The Qiyue Zhao family could send him a letter and reveal this shocking secret, and Wei Tu could probably guess who was behind it.

However, he couldn't figure out why he still needed to use ordinary letters when he was already told this shocking secret.

After all, ordinary letters are not only easy to leak, but also risk being lost.

"Go to Zhao's house and ask, then you will know better." Wei Tu shook his head and did not intend to continue guessing.

The Qiyue Zhao family was not far from Honghe Shanfang City. With his escape speed, it was only two or three days away.
