I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 273 The Conspiracy of Prince Youxian’s Mansion (Please subscribe)
At the beginning, Master Taoist Wolf Slayer said that only four batches of pills were needed to make one batch of elixirs.

He has now completed two furnaces of elixirs.

There are two magic elixirs.

It definitely met Taoist Wolf Slayer’s previous requirements.

"What do you mean by fellow Taoist Wolf Slayer?" Wei Tu glanced at Taoist Wolf Slayer and said in a cold tone.

In terms of superficial strength, although he is not as good as Master Taoist Wolf Slayer, he is not to the point of fear.

Moreover, behind him are the "Cang Kun Alliance" and the Great Master Qubei of the lineage of Divine Master Dulong.

Based on this, although he felt early on that Taoist Wolf Slayer's request to him to make elixirs might be a fraud, he was not afraid of the consequences, so he accepted the commission.

"Alchemist Wei failed in refining the elixir. He promised to make a batch of elixirs, but there were only two of them. He should be compensated."

After the demonstration was successful, Taoist Master Zhanlang lost his momentum, smiled softly, and spoke.

Hear this.

Wei Tu immediately understood the basis for Taoist Wolf Slayer's cause of trouble.

One furnace of Selling Essence Pill can produce three pills.

Taoist Wolf Slayer deliberately set a verbal trap, saying that only one furnace of elixirs was enough, but did not specify the specific number of elixirs.

According to common sense, one batch of elixirs refers to refining this batch of elixirs. If one can succeed, it is considered a success.

But there are certain reasons for forcing it to be based on a furnace of three pills.

Of course, the latter is usually not recognized by the alchemy world and will only be considered as nonsense.

So Wei Tu ignored this matter.

"How much compensation does Taoist Wolf Slayer want?" Wei Tu looked at Taoist Wolf Slayer for a few times, and suddenly smiled, as if he was a little subdued.

In a word.

If you have too many spiritual stones, you will be remembered by others.

Over the past few decades, he has accumulated a lot of spiritual stones by relying on the trade route to the Sanxian Alliance opened by the Sky Splitter Diao and his two major skills of making talismans and refining alchemy.

He is considered to be one of the top rich people in Ying Ding tribe’s Golden Pill territory.

Otherwise, he would not have asked Yu Tong to go to Xiao Country and help him buy the Golden Congo.

Taoist Master Zhanlang came to him to refine elixirs. In addition to refining the Jingjing Dan, he also wanted to take advantage of this matter to break the grass.

Of course, if he "succeeds" in refining the alchemy and Taoist Wolf Slayer has no reason to cause trouble, this is also possible but will not happen.

"Four materials, only two pills were made... Pindao didn't ask for much. Master Wei compensated Pindao with 3 spirit stones. Let this matter be over." Taoist Master Shilang said with a big mouth. .

3 spiritual stones?

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and sneered secretly.

Most of the elixirs needed to refine the Jingjing Pill are just ordinary third-level elixirs, and there are no rare treasures.

The total value does not exceed [-] spirit stones.

Now, Taoist Master Wolf Slayer wants him to compensate 3 spirit stones, which is clearly to use his power to suppress others and blackmail him.

I think he, a young golden elixir, is easy to bully!
This amount of spiritual stones was even larger than when Master Yuanxian made the "bet" with him.

"I just don't know if there is any instruction from Prince Youxian's Palace in this?" Wei Tu calmed down and thought.

He is not afraid of only one Wolf-Slaying Taoist. What he is worried about is that Wolf-Slaying Taoist is just a pawn, and there is another driving force behind the scenes.

After all, his value is not low.

Wei Tu quickly made a plan.

"Five thousand spirit stones, that's the only number Wei is willing to give." Wei Tu looked at Taoist Wolf Slayer coldly, took a few steps back, waved his sleeves, and said impatiently.

Seeing Wei Tu, he was convinced.

Taoist Wolf Slayer laughed a few times. He had already guessed that craftsmen like Wei Tu were not good at fighting and would give in when faced with tough situations.

Spend a little money and buy peace.

Don't dare to break up with him.

"Eighteen thousand spirit stones, this is the lowest price." Taoist Wolf Slayer did not agree to Wei Tu's words and raised the price of the compensation spirit stones.

When Wei Tu heard this, he frowned slightly, as if he was hesitating whether to agree or not. He raised his head and glanced at Taoist Wolf Slayer, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"This is eighteen thousand spirit stones." Wei Tu reluctantly took out a spirit stone bag from his sleeve and threw it to the Taoist Wolf Slayer in front of him.

"Master Wei is generous." After receiving the spirit stone, Taoist Wolf Slayer smiled with great satisfaction on his face.

After he praised Wei Tu, he didn't linger much and turned into a light yellow light and left Yanfen Mountain.

Wait until Taoist Wolf Slayer has gone far.

Wei Tu snorted coldly, changed his disguise, transformed into an old man in a hidden robe, and followed him secretly.

There was a spiritual mark made of the "Spirit Sealing Talisman", and Wei Tu did not follow Taoist Diuzhanlang along the way.

……

Taoist Zhan Lang, who left Yanfen Mountain, went straight back to Hujie Immortal City and came to Prince Youxian's Mansion.

Prince Youxian's Mansion is located in the southwest of Hujiexian City. It covers an area of ​​[-] acres and has buildings like forests.

Half a day after Taoist Wolf Slayer entered the palace.

The old man in Tibetan robe, who had been disguised as Wei Tu, also came to the door of Prince Youxian's Mansion.

He raised his head and glanced at the brass gate of the palace, which was about several feet high, as well as the two ferocious lion statues placed outside the gate, and paused.

"The palace is guarded by a third-level enchantment formation. It is not easy to spy on the information inside." Wei Tu groaned and said to Bai Zhi.Brass gates, bronze lion statues, corrugated walls carved with rare and exotic animals, etc.

With his knowledge, he can see that these are the formation eyes of the royal palace's formation.

However, before Bai Zhi could answer, a group of forbidden soldiers stationed at Prince Youxian's Mansion came over from nearby.

The leader of the forbidden soldiers looked at Wei Tu and scolded him coldly: "You are not allowed to stay in this important place of the royal palace for a long time."

After the words fell, a group of forbidden soldiers raised their spears and pointed them at the old man in Tibetan robes who had been transformed by Wei Tu.

Seeing this, Wei Tu left decisively from the gate of the palace and did not get into any more entanglements with this group of forbidden soldiers.

"Trouble, these forbidden soldiers only patrol outside and do not enter the palace." Wei Tu, who was hiding aside, frowned and took back the colorful phantom moth that he secretly placed on the leader of the forbidden soldiers when he left.

The escape speed of the colorful phantom moth is limited.

The second-level colorful phantom moth is still able to follow the monks at the foundation-building level, but it is beyond its power to track the monks at the golden elixir level.

Therefore, Wei Tu only left the divine mark on his body when Taoist Wolf Slayer left.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I've finished checking my body. There are no obvious loopholes in the formation barrier outside Prince Youxian's palace. There is no other way except to break it directly." Bai Zhi said with a tired look.

After losing her body, she only had the golden elixir and divine soul left. The divine consciousness she used could not be replenished immediately and could only be restored gradually and slowly.

Therefore, just checking the loopholes in the formation barrier outside Prince Youxian's Mansion severely damaged her vitality.

"It seems that we can only wait patiently." Wei Tu shook his head and blended into the flow of people on the street.

Fortunately, Prince Youxian's family has a great business, and there is a lot of food, clothing and chews in the palace every day.

Only one day later, Wei Tu found an opportunity and placed a colorful phantom moth on a steward who was out for procurement.

Using his identity as a steward, he entered Prince Youxian's Mansion.

Within the body of the colorful phantom moth, there is a trace of Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness. With this spiritual consciousness, Wei Tu controls the colorful phantom moth to fly to where Taoist Wolf Slayer is.

Just like Wei Tu in the Huang family in Heshan.

In Prince Youxian's palace, a place where spiritual energy flourished was specially opened up as a worship hall for guests such as Taoist Master Slayer Wolf to live.

The colorful phantom moth carefully lurked in the guest room of the enshrinement hall where Taoist Master Wolf Slayer lived.

Taoist Master Zhan Lang was in the guest room, concentrating on meditating, and it didn't look like he was planning anything else with others.

"It's a day and a half late. I wonder if Taoist Wolf Slayer has already been in contact with other people?" Wei Tu frowned and sighed softly.

Now, he can only kill the cat and become a living cat doctor. Maybe he can catch some clues here.

Waited for two days.

Wei Tu, who was hiding near the entrance of the palace, saw the second prince Youxian Wang in a golden robe walking into the palace.

Wei Tu had a deep impression on this second prince. When he was at Fenglang Island, this second prince recruited him and said that he had a widowed sister Wang.

The second prince entered the palace.

At first, Wei Tu didn't pay much attention, but when he borrowed the colorful phantom moth and saw the second prince going to the worship hall in the palace and walking towards the guest room of Taoist Wolf Slayer, his spirit suddenly shook.

If he guessed right.

This time Taoist Wolf Slayer attacked him, and it was most likely related to the second prince of King Youxian.

"Your Highness." Sensing the arrival of the second prince, Taoist Wolf Slayer stood up, opened the guest room, and bowed his hands.

"Taoist Master Zhanlang."

The second prince behaved in an easy-going manner. He waved his hand to indicate to Master Wolf Slayer that there was no need to be polite, then he took off his robe and sat on the stool in the guest room.

Taoist Master Zhanlang also took his seat.

"How is the progress this time?" The second prince glanced at the storage bag on the waist of Taoist Wolf Slayer and asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, just as planned, Wei Tu agreed to refine the elixir, and compensated the corresponding spiritual stones under Pindao's threat."

"This is the five thousand spirit stones as compensation."

While talking, Taoist Master Wolf Slayer took out a spirit stone bag from his body and placed it on the coffee table between the two of them.

Five thousand spirit stones?

When Wei Tu in the dark heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He had clearly paid for "eighteen thousand spirit stones" before.

"It seems that Taoist Wolf Slayer is not really serving Prince Youxian's Palace." Wei Tu thought to himself.

"Just accept the spiritual stone Taoist Priest yourself."

The second prince shook his head and pushed the spirit stone bag on the coffee table to the direction of Taoist Wolf Slayer.

It's only five thousand spirit stones. There is no need for him to lose his heart because of this small amount of money.

"Thank you, Prince."

Taoist Wolf Slayer smiled, waved his hand, and took back the bag of spirit stones.

"Your Highness, there is something unclear about Pindao." At this time, Taoist Master Zhanlang groaned and asked: "If the palace wants to recruit Wei Tu, why would it send Pindao to threaten him? Isn't this letting Wei Tu ruin Wei Tu's view of the palace? Do you like it?"

Before doing the work, he only knew the order given to him by Prince Youxian's Mansion and didn't ask any more questions.

But after the matter was done, he should ask.

After all, this time I offended a fellow monk, so I couldn't be careless.

If in the future the palace recruits Wei Tu and pushes him out as a scapegoat to please Wei Tu, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Taoist Master Zhanlang is self-aware.

He knew that his combat power was higher than that of Wei Tu, but in terms of value among the forces, he was far inferior to Wei Tu, a young monk with both elixirs and talismans.
