I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 312 Sky Horned Dragon Centipede, Wei's Danfufang (5k please subscribe)
Wei Tu didn't know much about the Tao family's wives' plans, but even if he knew, he wouldn't interfere too much in the matter.

Everyone wants to be in power.

The Tao family's plan was harmless to the Wei family, so there was no need for him to stop it.

For him, it is indeed better for female cultivators like Tao Ya and others to receive key training than for male cultivators from the Tao family to take advantage of the situation and become stronger.

The former can better integrate into the Wei family.

The latter, when it grows to a certain level, may pose a certain threat to the Wei family.

In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many stories about men repairing feuds and reviving their families, but it is rare to see scenes of female cultivators risking their lives for the sake of their family.

……

Before leaving the Fenshan Tribe, Wei Tu planned to go to the "Liuyun Lake", the spiritual place of the Zama Tribe, to meet Wei Xian'er.

A few years ago, Wei Xianer asked Wei Tu for help once because her spiritual consciousness increased for no reason.

Later, Wei Tu found out that the reason was that the puppet pendant worn by Wei Xianer contained fragments of the soul of the mourning god. This soul fragment wanted to possess Wei Xianer and subtly affected Wei Xianer's consciousness.

This time Wei Tu came, not only to check the follow-up status of Wei Xian'er's soul, but also to inform Wei Xian'er about his father Wei Fei.

Because of the battle between good and evil, Wei Fei followed the Qiyue Zhao family to the Xiao State through the teleportation array, while Wei Xianer came to the Zama tribe of the Kang State.

The father and daughter have been separated for nearly a hundred years and do not know whether they are alive or dead.

Last time, Wei Tu purchased the golden congo from Wanfo Temple in Xiaoguo through Yu Tong, and by the way, Yu Tong also asked Yu Tong to inquire about the news about Zhao Qingluo and Wei Fei.

"My parents are okay? Fortunately."

In Liuyun Lake, Wei Xian'er felt relieved after hearing what Wei Tu said, and let go of the hidden worries in her heart many years ago.

Although she had previously learned from Wei Tu that her parents followed the Qiyue Zhao family and migrated to Xiao Country through the teleportation array, the two countries were so far apart, and she was worried about what might happen on the way.

Now that everything was safe, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Next.

It’s time to check the soul.

"Uncle Wei, I'm ready." Wei Xianer's face flushed, and she lay flat on the bed in her cave, breathing slightly.

Even though she knew that there was only an uncle-nephew relationship between her and Wei Tu, and this inspection was for the safety of her future practice, being so closely touched by a man made her feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"After all, Uncle Wei and my father are just sworn brothers and have no blood relationship with each other."

Wei Xian'er's mind was full of distracting thoughts, and this idea quickly came to her mind.

Unlike Kou Hongying, she was born after Wei Fei turned [-] and has not gone through the secular stage of Yishe. Therefore, her impression of Wei Tu, her uncle, is very vague... more like looking at a strange male cultivator.

"Keep your mind still!"

At this time, Wei Tu's scolding came suddenly, which frightened Wei Xian'er's face to turn pale, and she immediately came back to her senses and stopped thinking wildly.

It's different from what Wei Xian'er thought.

Wei Tu only used two fingers to twist her wrist and slowly injected mana without making any other unnecessary contact with her.

"The soul is pure. It seems that Xian'er has practiced the "Shangyan Secret Sutra" well in the past few years and refined the fragments of the soul that remain in her body from the mournful god."

An hour later, after completing the examination, Wei Tu took back his two fingers and his expression softened.

After all, Wei Xianer followed him and smuggled into Kang State and settled in the Zama tribe.

In the event that his body was taken away by the Mourning God Lord, it would be really difficult for him to explain the matter to Wei Fei.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei." Wei Xian'er stood up from the bed and bowed to Wei Tu.

At this time, her face no longer showed the shyness of the strange male cultivator, but instead looked more generous, calm and polite.

After the contact, Wei Xianer realized that Wei Tu had been using his identity as an elder to get along with her, and she was undoubtedly insulting her elders by imagining things in secret.

"Practice well during this period. In more than ten years, I will take you to Xiao Country."

Wei Tu glanced at Wei Xian'er and said.

Originally, he planned to refine the two treasures, Golden Congo and Holy Spring Water, and then go to Xiao Country after breaking through to the middle stage of Golden Core.

But unexpectedly, something happened suddenly, and he was kidnapped by Hu Shan and Qi Chengchu, and was forced to go to the Taixu Realm.

Now that he has returned to the Fenshan tribe, his heart is not at peace. If he leaves suddenly again, it will be greatly detrimental to his future development in Kang.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei."

Hearing this, Wei Xian'er suddenly beamed with joy and sweetly thanked Wei Tu.

She knew very well how difficult it was to travel to a foreign country.

Wei Tu's invitation to her would mean extra expenses and effort.

"Family reunion is the most important thing." Wei Tu intended to let Wei Xian'er live in Xiao Kingdom for a long time.

He could see that the relationship between Wei Xian'er and his master, High Priest Dia, was not close.

Otherwise, Wei Xianer would not have come to him many times to solve her problems.

"Yeah." Wei Xian'er heard the hidden meaning of Wei Tu's words, hummed slightly and nodded.

……

Finished solving Wei Xian'er's matter.

Wei Tu returned to Yanfen Mountain and hung a wooden sign with the words "retreat" at the door of the secret room.

After activating the cave formation and blocking the surrounding aura, Wei Tu touched the storage ring.

Whoa!
Various rare treasures came out of the storage ring and were suspended in mid-air.

A wine jar the size of a palm, containing several cyan talismans that sealed spiritual power.

A golden skeleton with coercion.

A piece of black iron with unknown words engraved on it.

A blue alchemy cauldron covered with restrictions and suspected of containing elixirs.

These four spiritual objects are unknown treasures that Wei Tu obtained in the Stone Demon Tower.

Unlike the treasures such as the psychic objects and the fire cloud cover rough embryos, he has not figured out the true uses of these four spiritual objects since he left the Stone Demonic Tower.

Moreover, it just so happened that these four spiritual objects were all treasures he obtained from the two Yuanying caves on the fifth floor of the Stone Demon Tower.

Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and stretched out his hand to take the wine jar with a green talisman in front of him.

Of these four unknown spiritual objects, only this one, together with the "Golden Toad Qi", came from the Juzuo Cave Mansion.

The remaining three unknown spiritual objects all came from the Nascent Soul Cave on the right.

"These three cyan talismans are fourth-level talismans with sealing effect. These talismans alone are worth a lot."

Wei Tu thought to himself.

The fourth-level talisman with sealing effect, even if its spirituality is completely exhausted, still has corresponding research value for him as a talisman master.

Don't look at the fact that these sealing talismans only seal the spirituality in the wine jar, but they can last for thousands of years, which shows their power.

The sealing talisman can not only seal spiritual objects, but also monks and monsters.

"Open!" Wei Tu waved his sleeves and the green talismans on the wine jar fell down and were arranged neatly aside.

The moment the green talisman fell.

What was exposed inside the wine jar was not the spiritual wine that Wei Tu had originally estimated, but a centipede-shaped essence about half a foot long.

This centipede is all white, with a rhinoceros-like horn on its head, and two slender catfish tentacles next to its mouthparts. After seeing itself escaping from the trap, it immediately sprayed out a cloud of white mist, making it look extremely ferocious and ferocious.

"Bold!" When Wei Tu saw this, he was shocked at first. After all, this is the treasure of the Yuanying monk in the cave, and his level must be not low.

But then he sensed the spiritual power fluctuations of this white mist, which was only equivalent to the later stage of foundation building. He immediately looked happy and stepped forward to surrender the essence of the snow-white centipede again.

Wei Tu waved his sleeves and robe, and the white mist was wrapped in magic power and immediately dissipated.

Afterwards, Wei Tu made a secret and sealed the essence of the snow-white centipede with the spirit-sealing talisman.

Although the level of the spirit-sealing talisman is low, far inferior to the cyan talisman on the wine jar, it is not difficult to seal this extremely weak snow-white centipede.

"Alicorn centipede?" At this time, Bai Zhi, who was maintaining the formation, came over. She was surprised when she saw the appearance of the snow-white centipede.

Without waiting for Wei Tu to ask, Bai Zhi directly explained the origin of this object to Wei Tu.

"Do you know, fellow Daoist Wei, about the Tianyun Mountain of the Devil's Way? The Sky-horned Dragon Centipede is the earliest descendant of the true spirit that resides in the Tianyun Mountain. However, tens of thousands of years ago, the Sky-horned Dragon Centipede was hunted to extinction by demonic cultivators."

"Unexpectedly, there is actually an aura-horned dragon centipede hidden within the Stone Demon Sect."

Bai Zhi said in a surprised tone.

She couldn't help but secretly sigh at Wei Tu's good luck in finding the spirit of an Sky Horned Dragon Centipede in the Stone Demon Sect.

The Sky Horned Dragon Centipede is the descendant of the legendary ancient true spirit and true dragon, and is full of treasures.

Even though only the essence of this Sky-horned Dragon Centipede is left, it can still be of great benefit to Wei Tu's soul if it is refined using secret techniques.

Tianyun Mountain?
Wei Tu is no stranger to this place.

Nearly 200 years ago, the five demonic sects swore an oath at Tianyun Mountain and agreed to attack the three border countries.

"Look at the other treasures first, and then deal with this alicorn centipede after you finish them."

Wei Tu re-sealed the spirit of the Sky-horned Dragon Centipede in the wine jar, then turned his gaze and landed on the golden bones and black iron skin.

These two spiritual objects were placed together in the secret room of Juyou Cave Mansion.Wei Tu guessed that these two spiritual objects should be related to each other.

However, after looking at it for a long time, Wei Tu and Bai Zhi were unable to figure out the origin of the golden bones and the origin of the words on the iron sheet.

"After the destruction of the Stone Demon Sect, the Heavenly Girl Sect switched to the Demonic Way and became one of the five sects of the Demonic Way. Regarding the secrets of the Demonic Way, the Heavenly Girl Sect has the weakest foundation." Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly.

She estimated that the writing on the iron sheet should be some kind of ancient secret text of magic.

If you want to unlock this kind of secret text of the demonic path, you can only find the oldest sect in the demonic path, or the righteous sect.

In ordinary markets and shops, it is difficult to find records about this kind of secret text of magic.

The final blue cauldron.

Wei Tu thought for a moment, resisted his impulse, and did not forcefully break the seal on the blue alchemy cauldron.

If the elixir in the blue alchemy cauldron was related to the "skills" recorded on the iron sheet, and he accidentally caused the elixir to be damaged, he would regret it.

It's not too late to open the blue alchemy cauldron after deciphering the secret text on the iron sheet.

There is no need to rush this moment.

"I'm not familiar with the Demonic Sect for the time being, but there are some familiar people from the Righteous Sect..."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu walked to the study and started writing a letter.

In addition to reporting that Kou Hongying was safe, he also engraved several secret texts on the iron sheet one by one on the letter and asked Kou Hongying to search for records of such texts in Jingshui Pavilion.

Logically speaking, after returning to the Fenshan tribe, he should immediately report to Kou Hongying and other relatives and friends that they were safe. However, because of his eagerness to explore the secret treasure and the Tao family's affairs, he was delayed for a day or two.

In addition to writing a letter to Kou Hongying.

Wei Tu also wrote to Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er respectively to inquire about their safety.

……

However, not long after Wei Tu's letter was sent out, and less than three days later, he received a safe letter from Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er.

After reading the letter, Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that the information he had obtained at the border of Zheng State was correct. Che Gongwei, Su Bing'er, and the old monster Tianzhi were fine and successfully escaped from the Taixu Realm.

Wei Tu opened Che Gongwei's letter first.

In the letter, Che Gongwei first asked about Wei Tu's safety, and then told Wei Tu everything that happened after he and Wei Tu separated in the Taixu territory.

The three of them escaped from Taixu Territory and encountered some minor troubles in the outer realm, but these troubles were not fatal and were easily solved.

The real danger is outside the underground palace, besieged by monks from the two major demon sects, Tianjue Demon Palace and Hehuan Sect.

write here.

Che Gongwei mentioned that fortunately, Gong Shulan also escaped not long after, which helped them greatly reduce the pressure of the siege from outside demon cultivators.

With the help of Gong Shulan, the three of them left the Southern Wilderness Ancient Plains almost unscathed.

However, after arriving in Zheng State, the old monster said that he had something to do and left first.

At the end of the letter, Che Gongwei talked about some important things after returning to the Sanxian Alliance, such as exposing Qi Chengchu's collusion with the devil, and re-selecting the leader of the Sanxian Alliance, etc.

Then, Wei Tu opened Su Bing'er's letter.

Similar to what Che Gongwei wrote, after Su Bing'er reported that she was safe, she recounted everything that happened after escaping from the Taixu territory.

However, compared to Che Gongwei, Su Bing'er mentioned one more thing, and that was to answer Xie Weitu in person for temporarily lending her black scale shield.

The black scale shield is a third-level defensive magic weapon that Wei Tu took from Taoist Wolf Slayer. When he was in the "Cold Crystal Platform" in Taixu Realm, Wei Tu temporarily lent this defensive magic weapon to Su Bing'er and let her Fight the cold.

Said it was borrowed...

In fact, it’s almost the same as giving it away.

Wei Tu didn't expect that Su Binger actually stated in the letter that she wanted to return this magic weapon to him.

This point made Wei Tu somewhat impressed.

"Speaking of which, I also borrowed a magic weapon from Master Che."

Wei Tu turned his palm, and there was a purple ball the size of a fist in his hand.

This purple round bead is the golden flame bead that Che Gongwei gave him when he said goodbye.

This object is Che Gongwei's trump card. After being activated, it can be compared to a full blow in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

However, because Wei Tu had the "Taixu Stone", he teleported directly away from the Taixu Realm. From the beginning to the end, he never used this talisman.

Although Che Gongwei did not explicitly lend this talisman to Wei Tu, since Wei Tu was useless, he should return it to Che Gongwei like Su Bing'er did.

After all, this talisman is too precious.

"Go to the Sanxian Alliance after a while and repay Master Che." Wei Tu secretly said.

After experiencing this setback, he truly recognized Che Gongwei as his half-way master.

……

The retreat is over.

Wei Tu waited for Kou Hongying's reply.

During this period, Wei Tu ordered Yan Yu and Tao Fangde to buy a shop in Hujiexian City and put up a signboard called "Wei's Danfu Fang".

This shop is mainly used to sell first- and second-level elixirs and talismans, as well as customized third-level elixirs and talismans.

After purchasing the "Tu Jing Zhi" from the Frost Fairy in Ning Yue Palace, Wei Tu now has basically all the elixir for refining the "Purple Candle Pill".

The only thing he lacks is his alchemy level.

Purple Candle Pill is a third-level high-grade elixir. With his current alchemy attainments, the chance of successfully refining it is less than [-]%.

Therefore, it is almost imperative to improve one's alchemy attainments.

However, third-level elixirs are not as easy to obtain as first- and second-level elixirs. If you want to quickly improve your experience in refining third-level elixirs, there is only one shortcut - that is to open a shop and accept commissions from outside monks.

Compared to Hujie Immortal City, the Fenshan Department where Wei Tu is located is still too remote.

……

Cangkun Alliance can help.

The location of Wei's Danfufang is in the downtown area of ​​Hujiexian City, not in a remote location.

From the Fenshan tribe to the Hujie Immortal City, it would take about one or two days for the Jindan monks to travel, but it would take seven or eight days for the Foundation-building monks.

In addition, a year ago, there was a feud with the two major tribes, the Sheri Division and the Fengwu Division.

Wei Tu didn't think much. He moved directly from the Fenshan tribe to the safer Hujie Immortal City, and rented a cave in the Immortal City.

The shop is a pavilion building with a total of four floors and a small courtyard attached.

According to Fairy Baohua's suggestion, Wei Tu used the first and second floors as general exhibition areas to sell first- and second-level talismans and elixirs.

The third floor is a high-level exhibition area, where Qi training and foundation-building monks are limited. Only foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks with extraordinary status can enter.

The fourth floor is divided into two halves, one half is the reception room for booking talismans and elixirs, and the other half is the temporary cave for Wei Tu, the third-level alchemist and third-level talisman master.

As for the small courtyard behind the pavilion, it is the residence of the shopkeeper and servants of "Wei's Danfufang".

As the shopkeeper, Wei Tu prefers Tao Fangde, who is experienced and smooth.

A hundred years ago, the Tao family in Hanshan selected Tao Fangde as the elder in charge of the Prime Minister's smuggling affairs.

During these hundred years, Tao Fangde worked conscientiously and never made any major mistakes.

In addition to the fact that the Tao family did not produce the True Lord Jindan, the Tao family in Hanshan managed by Tao Fangde still maintained the basic dignity of the Jindan family.

From all these things, it is not difficult to see Tao Fangde's ability.

However, Wei Tu did not fully believe Tao Fangde.

After he moved into Hujiexian City, he appointed Yan Yu as the deputy shopkeeper of "Wei's Danfufang", responsible for supervising Tao Fangde and checking the accounts.

Use Yan Yu to restrict Tao Fangde.

"Senior Wei, for the manpower management of Danfu Fang, you can use apprentices instead of servants. In this way, not only will the wages be lower, but you will also be more loyal."

In the reception room on the fourth floor, Tao Fangde discussed with Wei Tu the specific internal affairs of Danfu Fang.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly.

Compared with the employment relationship, the master-disciple relationship in the world of immortality is indeed stronger.

Moreover, as time goes by, the disciples will take in grandchildren, and the grandson will take in great-grandchildren, and the network of relationships will become more and more large, becoming a major force.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

Not only does it need to teach the apprentice skills, but the master also has to take more care of the apprentice than a hired servant.

If the apprentice makes a mistake, the master will be implicated to a certain extent.

However, Wei Tu was not short of the small amount of money needed to hire Danfufang's boy. He shook his head and was ready to reject Tao Fangde's proposal.

With his level, it would be a big loss to accept an apprentice.

"Senior Wei, to be honest, our Tao family also has several Talisman Masters and Alchemists. The Wei Family Alchemy Shop can employ these people, and the apprentices they bring can take on the role of servants in the shop."

Tao Fangde added.

The Jindan family has many people.The Tao family smuggled in another elite monk.

Among these monks, there are many who are skilled in the four arts of cultivating immortals.

Among them, the two important immortal professions, Talisman Master and Alchemy Master, are even more numerous.

It is not difficult to select a few second-level talisman masters and alchemy masters to join the Wei Clan Alchemy Master.
