I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 317 The Saint is poisoned and Yuan Jie makes a mistake (5k7 words, please subscribe)
Coincidentally, Wei Tu's main skill "Shenmu Yuan Gong" is also a wood-attribute skill.

It might be helpful to get it.

"Okay! I agree to Fellow Daoist Wei's request."

Fairy Baohua didn't hesitate much. After thinking for a while, she agreed to Wei Tu's request, which was not a request.

Allowing Wei Tu to have a look at the secrets of flower arrangement may expose her background, but Wei Tu is already a core figure in the Cang Kun Alliance, and the chance of becoming her enemy in the future is slim.

Secondly, she will most likely turn to Wei Tu for elixirs in the future. If Wei Tu plots against her, it will be easier for her to take the elixirs orally and trick her into trapping her.

Compared with this small risk, spiritual objects such as the shape-shifting drug Zhizhi that can determine the path are obviously more important.A thousand pieces of gold is hard to come by.

……

the same moment.

Lou Sanhua complained in a low voice that the protector who followed her actually took out the transformation medicine Zhizhi without authorization.

After she got this transformation medicine from her master, Divine Master Xuantong, she already regarded it as something in her pocket, and did not want to take it out easily as a "reward" for Wei Tu's alchemy.

She was confident that if she continued to provoke, Wei Tu would be successfully lured out by her.

If Wei Tu really mastered the Li Xue Dan, wouldn't this transformation medicine Zhi be lost?
"Don't worry, Holy Maiden, the tricks we have done on the Blood-Living Pill are sufficiently concealed... There is no way that Wei Tu will succeed in refining the Blood-Living Pill."

The old woman secretly scolded Lou Sanhua for not knowing the general situation, but thinking about today's task, she calmed down and comforted her warmly.

"Never mind."

Lou Sanhua sighed softly and reluctantly moved his eyes away from the transformation medicine in the old woman's palm.

Even though she was a disciple of Divine Master Xuantong, such elixirs were difficult to obtain easily within the Fengwu tribe.

Using the transformation medicine Zhizhi as bait, it is enough to see that the Fengwu tribe is afraid of Wei Tu.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Wei Tu walked down from the fourth floor of the store to the booth area on the first floor, and agreed to help Lou Sanhua refine the blood-living pill she requested.

"We don't understand the art of alchemy, so it would be bad if Master Wei pretends to be inferior, trades in old ones for new ones, and deliberately deceives me and other foreigners, that would be bad."

Lou Sanhua made a request to observe alchemy.

The success rate of a batch of elixirs is closely related to the quality of the elixirs. The reason why many alchemists have a bad reputation is because they secretly exchange elixirs for elixirs.

This is shoddy.

And the so-called trade-in of old for new...

It means that the number of finished pills in each furnace is not fixed. Some alchemists will choose to use the old pills on hand to pretend to be the finished pills in this furnace, and then pretend to be in poor condition, and the refined elixirs will be There are few medicines, so a whole set of elixirs are given.

These two points are the tricks of the alchemy industry, and they are also the easiest places to manipulate.

"Lou Sanhua came prepared, very well prepared." When Fairy Baohua heard this, she looked at Wei Tu with a little worry in her heart.

She was also temporarily fascinated by the "Transformation Medicine Zhi", and then discussed with Wei Tu whether to agree to Lou Sanhua's request, temporarily ignoring Lou Sanhua's full preparation before coming.

"Naturally."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and did not resist.

When refining valuable elixirs, it is common for customers to choose to watch the elixir refining.

At this time, Lou Sanhua proposed to use the transformed medicine Zhizhi as reward, which was completely consistent with this convention.

"What confidence does he have?"

Seeing Wei Tu being so cheerful, Lou Sanhua, who was deliberately making things difficult, couldn't help but be stunned and felt a little puzzled.

She also thought that Wei Tu would be like Tao Fangde, who had dealt with things smoothly before, looking for excuses to evade and reverse her unfavorable situation.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tu agreed directly without any refusal.

"Maybe it's a scam."

Lou Sanhua backed down, she was still quite reluctant to part with this transforming medicinal mushroom.

But now that the matter has come to this, neither Lou Sanhua nor Wei Tu is allowed to retreat.

Under the watchful eyes of the cultivators, Lou Sanhua and the two old women behind him followed Wei Tu and Fairy Baohua to the fourth floor of the shop.

"Fairy Lou, it's okay to observe the alchemy, but it's not necessary for all three of you to go."

Walking to the door, Wei Tu reminded.

"A saint is too precious to take risks easily. It's better to be alone."

After the words fell, before Lou Sanhua could speak, behind him, the old woman who first took out the transformation medicine Zhizhi stepped forward and spoke.

Lou Sanhua seemed to be a little surprised by this scene. She was dumbfounded, and a look of astonishment flashed across her face.

Fairy Baohua on the side noticed this scene, and she joked: "It seems that Fairy Lou, as an envoy, is stationed in Hujie Immortal City and cannot make the decision on her own. She actually let her subordinates take the lead."

When Lou Sanhua heard this, her face turned green and red, but she suppressed her anger as she thought that this was the Ying Ding tribe, not the Feng Wu tribe.

"Grandma Ke is my elder, and she is only here to protect me. She is not a subordinate. Fairy Baohua has too much to worry about."

Lou Sanhua defended with a cold tone.

Having said that, Granny Ke and Granny Ke are indeed her protectors, but usually they always rely on her opinions and never try to steal the limelight in front of her... This unusual scene made Lou Sanhua saw different signals.

She glanced at the dead old man in civilian clothes on the ground on the first floor, feeling slightly uneasy.

"Take it one step at a time." Lou Sanhua was anxious and had no idea at the moment.

A quarter of an hour later.

Shop, alchemy room on the fourth floor.

Granny Ke was sitting on her knees next to the alchemy room. She was isolated by the third-level formation and stared coldly at Wei Tu who was standing next to the alchemy furnace and checking the elixir.

After seeing that Wei Tu had finished checking the elixir and the expression on his face had not changed at all, Granny Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her sleeves with both hands and secretly practiced a gray-black dagger.

"It's such a pity, Saint." At this time, Granny Ke thought of Lou Sanhua waiting outside and sighed secretly.

Like the commoner old man, Lou Sanhua was also a victim of this provocation against Wei Tu.

Although the status of a disciple of Divine Master Xuantong is very noble, in the eyes of Divine Master Xuantong, this is not the case.

Giving up a mediocre disciple in exchange for the death of a foreign alchemy master with great potential was not a difficult choice for Divine Master Xuantong.

As for her own life and death, Granny Ke doesn't care. Although she still has nearly a hundred years to live, everything is worth it for the tribe.

……

It was different from what Granny Ke expected.

Wei Tu did not use the elixir that Lou Sanhua brought. When the elixir was about to be put into the alchemy furnace, Wei Tu immediately replaced it with another elixir.

As for the process...

With the formation's cover, Granny Ke's consciousness is difficult to reach, so it is not difficult to deceive her vision.

Unfortunately, the two pitfalls in alchemy that Lou Sanhua mentioned earlier, "substituting inferior products for good ones" and "replacing old ones with new ones", appear occasionally in Wei Tu.

Li Xue Dan Wei Tu has been refined several times.

In his hands, he had already secretly saved a complete set of blood-living elixirs.

This is why Wei Tu dared to accept this commission when faced with Lou Sanhua's provocation.

With the fate of "Late Bloomer", his attainments in alchemy and the speed of improvement are much faster than those of ordinary alchemists.

Moreover, the quality of the finished pill is excellent and the probability is more stable.

Time passed slowly.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

The process of Wei Tu's alchemy all fell into Granny Ke's eyes.

Granny Ke's mentality turned from calm at first to panic, because she never saw any signs of the elixir being used up in the elixir furnace.

"Wait a little longer, maybe it's not yet time."

Granny Ke comforted herself.

But this time-

In the alchemy room, there was suddenly a buzzing sound of the furnace lid vibrating, and the rich fragrance of alchemy also filled the air and spread to the surroundings.

"The elixir is ready?" Granny Ke was shocked, not knowing what went wrong.

She didn't know that she had misjudged Wei Tu's true alchemy strength early on, and then she didn't expect that Wei Tu had another pair of blood-removing elixirs in his hands.

"Fortunately, I lived up to my fate and got four pills."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, opened the alchemy furnace, and took out four crystal-clear and full blood-colored elixirs from the spiritual fire.

"Granny Ke, now that the elixir has been completed, it's time to pay for the spiritual medicine Zhizhi as a reward."

In the alchemy room, Fairy Baohua, who was watching the alchemy process, also reacted. She looked at Granny Ke aside with a look of surprise on her face.

Blood Li Dan, due to factors such as the elixir and the alchemist, can produce up to six pills in one furnace.

However, with four pills, the rate of pill formation is already excellent.

Nothing to fault.

After all, only a few alchemy masters can refine six blood-living pills in one furnace when they are in good condition.

"This..." Granny Ke was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

The gray-black dagger in her hand could only destroy Wei Tu's foundation for enlightenment, but there was no guarantee that she could completely kill Fairy Baohua and Wei Tu.

The alchemy was not completed yet, so as a customer, she had reason to provoke, and then hurt the alchemist... These were all reasons that Feng Wubu could find afterwards.

But if there is no provocation for no reason and the Fengwu tribe is unreasonable, the Yingding tribe is not a vegetarian.

"Just another plan."

There was a hint of cruelty in Granny Ke's eyes.

She moved her lips slightly and transmitted a message to "Grandma Ma", another guardian sitting outside.

After the transmission of the message, Granny Ke smiled. She patted the storage bag, took out the shape-changing medicine, and handed it to Fairy Baohua in front of her.

It’s just that the payment has just been made.

next moment--

Lou Sanhua's wailing sound could be heard outside the door.

"Wei Tu, you actually poisoned the tea?" Granny Ke's expression changed when she heard this. Her aura rose in vain, and in a short period of time, she soared to the level of the late Golden Elixir.

The same goes for Granny Ma outside.

The two masters of the late Jindan period instantly stood in the alchemy room and looked fiercely at Wei Tu who was hiding behind the third-level defensive formation.

This scene was beyond almost everyone's expectations and was unexpected.

"Bold!" Fairy Baohua on the side immediately took action to stop him.

She presented a flower basket magic weapon.

From the flower basket, beautiful flowers of various colors spurt out.

Purple, red, white, colorful, vying to bloom.

The pollen instantly gathered into a river, like a colorful rainbow, sweeping towards Granny Ke and Granny Ma. "A little trick."

Granny Ma chuckled. She pulled the sleeves on her arms, revealing the dark blue golden crow tattoos on her skin.

In an instant, the golden crow tattoo shone brightly, shooting out a black light that instantly dispersed Fairy Baohua's colorful rainbow.

"Death!" Granny Ma smiled coldly, stepped forward, and struck Fairy Baohua's Heavenly Spirit Cap with her skinny right hand like a chicken claw.

stab-

Fairy Baohua's delicate body disintegrated and turned into little petals floating into the distance. After dozens of steps away, another Taoist body was condensed again.

"Hundred Flower Solution?" Granny Ma was a little surprised and confused when she saw this.

The three major departments know the root and bottom, and the Hundred Flowers Way learned by Fairy Baohua also has a backup within the Fengwu Department.

This "Hundred Flowers Solution" is the most profound and most difficult secret technique in the "Tianxiang Ancient Scroll" cultivated by Fairy Baohua.

Learn the "Hundred Flowers Solution" and transform into thousands of flower petals. As long as your spirituality is constant, you can be almost immortal in the fight.

"Fortunately, her level is not high."

Granny Ma couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Fairy Baohua's re-condensed body, her aura much weaker than before.

the other side.

When Granny Ke saw that Granny Ma failed to perform the task, she raised her eyebrows slightly and prepared to join forces with Granny Ma to deal with Fairy Baohua first.

However, at this moment, an eagle cry sounded, and a large dark blue eagle flew into the wind. Its talons were like sharp blades, piercing Granny Ke's back.

"The peak spiritual beast in the early stage of the third level?"

Granny Ke was startled. This was seriously inconsistent with the information she had received.

It’s only been a few decades since Wei Tu’s spirit beast advanced to the third level?
The demonic body of a third-level spirit beast is no less strong than a strong person in the late stage of the Golden Core. How could Granny Ke, a late-stage Golden Core enhanced by secret methods, dare to snatch the sharp edge of the Sky Eagle? She crossed her arms to block it, and immediately retreated violently. .

The Skycracker didn't press hard. It folded in the air, smashed through the roof of the fourth floor of the shop, and screamed loudly, trying to attract the attention of the Royal Guards.

This appearance.

The surrounding shops and passers-by all noticed the abnormality in Wei's Danfufang, but they did not dare to watch the battle close due to the battle between Jindan.

"There's a fight on the fourth floor, and Senior Wei is also inside. What should we do now?"

Behind the attic, Tao Ya anxiously watched the aftermath of the fight coming from the fourth floor. She looked at Tao Jie, hoping that her brother could help her make an idea.

"Ya'er, the monks we are fighting against are the protectors around Lou Sanhua. They are all in the Golden Core Realm. We are only in the Foundation Establishment Realm. There is nothing good we can do."

"It's best to just stay here and not cause any trouble."

Tao Jie said helplessly.

He also wanted to gain a sense of presence and favor in front of Wei Tu, but with his strength, he simply couldn't get involved in the Golden Core Realm fighting style.

"We can only look forward to the Royal Guards."

Hearing this, Tao Ya prayed silently and looked in the direction of the Royal Guard patrol.

……

I noticed the fluctuation of fighting skills in the distance.

In Hujiexian City, the expressions of the patrolling Royal Guards suddenly changed, and several archmages flew into the air, preparing to go to quell the chaos.

"The royal court orders that the Golden Tent election is coming soon, don't move lightly!"

"This matter needs to be quelled by the royal palace!"

At this time, a young man in gray robe flew in front of these archmages. He took out a golden token with the word "left" engraved on it, shook it a few times, and said.

"Prince Zuoxian's Mansion?"

The leader of the Archmage frowned when he heard this. He seemed to have guessed something. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly, turned away, and returned to his original position.

Cangkun Alliance's residence.

Inside the main hall.

Yuan Jie looked anxiously in the direction of Wei's Danfufang.

He did not expect that at this juncture, Lou Sanhua and his guardians would really dare to take risks and fight with Fairy Baohua and Wei Tu.

"No! I can't stand idly by."

Yuan Jie's eyes showed determination.

Baohua was his right-hand man and the Taoist friend who couldn't be ignored when he rose from humble beginnings.There is even the possibility of developing into a Taoist couple.

Wei Tu, on the other hand, first reminded him in Sunset City to save him from being assassinated by the second prince, and then leaked the secret and informed Prince Youxian's palace of purchasing talismans... he was considered a friend on the same front.

Today, if he ignores the two of them because a big event is about to happen, he will feel uneasy.

"Qianyue, please quickly support Wei Tu and Baohua."

Yuan Jie turned around, looked at a black-robed figure hiding in the dark, and said in an urgent tone.

"Yes, Master." The black-robed figure walked out of the shadows, nodded, and instantly turned into a ray of light, rushing towards the store.

Soon after Qianyue Sanren left.

A monk dressed as a royal guard came in, knelt on one knee and said: "Leader Yuan, it's time for the election of the Golden Tent. The palace informs you to go to the Golden Tent as soon as possible."

The Golden Tent was the gathering place for the heads of the tribes of the Yingding Tribe at this time.

It is located outside Hujiexian City, about a hundred miles away from Hujiexian City.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Hearing this, Yuan Jie felt a little uneasy.After all, his two capable generals, Fairy Baohua and Qianhe Sanren, were not with him at the moment.

However, thinking that he could not be late for the important meeting of the Golden Account election, he could only bite the bullet and agreed.

the other side.

In a main hall in Hujiexian City.

An old man with sallow skin and a middle-aged man wearing a feather coat sat opposite each other.

In front of the two of them, scenes in Hujiexian City appeared on the water curtain.

There is a battle scene in Wei's Danfufang.

There is also a scene of a young man in gray robe holding a royal order to stop the royal guards from putting out the fire.

However, the two of them focused on the scene where Yuan Jie sent Qian Yue Sanjin to rescue Fairy Baohua and Wei Tu.

"At this critical moment, he is still willing to send his own strength to rescue his companions. This Yuanjie has a good heart and values ​​love and justice, but this move... may ruin his life."

The middle-aged man in Yuyi commented.

There was an interesting look on his face, as if he was watching a play.

"It's a hundred miles from Hujiexian City to Jinzhangtai. Prince Youxian's Mansion has set up an ambush... Yuanjie has no helpers, and I'm afraid he will never return."

"Dulong, aren't you worried? Is this Yuanjie the person you like?"

The middle-aged man in Yuyi looked at the old man with sallow skin, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"Time is fate."

"This is all Yuanjie's own choice."

Master Dulong shook his head slightly.

He groaned and said: "If Yuan Jie loses here because of his love and righteousness, then this will be his fate. A loyal King Youxian is good for the tribe, but this does not mean that a ruthless King Righteous will be good for the tribe." A wise king is not good for the tribe...the latter might do better than the former."

"but……"

Having said this, Divine Master Dulong paused, "But if Yuan Jie loses, there is no need to let him die. Instead of becoming the Youxian King, he can also become your and my successor."

King Youxian is different from his successors.

Perhaps a ruthless person would be better served as King Youxian, but when it comes to successors, Master Dulong cannot accept a ruthless person.

Today, I can abandon my relatives and friends.

Tomorrow, I can abandon my mentor and tribe.

"What you said makes sense." The middle-aged man in Yuyi, the Master Hedi, showed admiration on his face. He nodded slightly and agreed with these words.

"However, Dulong, I don't think Yuan Jie will lose the throne."

He smiled and said.

If these words were known to the monks outside the main hall, it would probably cause a shocking incident.

You must know that in the minds of the senior leaders of the Ying Ding tribe - Divine Master Hedi and Divine Master Dulong have never dealt with each other very much, and they are opposed to Yuan Jie becoming the Youxian King.

"What do you mean by this?" Divine Master Dulong had a look of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't think that Yuan Jie could make a comeback this time under the attack of the two princes.

"This person hasn't used his full strength yet."

Divine Master Hedi smiled slightly and pointed with his parallel fingers at the water curtain in front of him that showed the scene inside Wei's Danfufang.

"Him?" Seeing this, Divine Master Dulong showed a somewhat interested expression.

The fact that he was able to save the day in the hands of two golden elixir masters and escape back to the Ding tribe proved that he was no ordinary person.

……

Weishi Danfufang.

Shop, fourth floor.

Facing Granny Ke's attack, Wei Tu did not panic. He stabilized the third-level defense formation in the alchemy room and did not rush to attack.

"go with!"

Seeing that the formation could not be broken through repeated attacks, Granny Ke became furious. Her face flushed, she slapped her chest hard and sprayed several mouthfuls of blood on the gray-black dagger in her hand.

In an instant, the aura of the gray-black dagger surged, and its powerful mana fluctuations slightly distorted the surrounding space.

next moment--

The gray-black dagger instantly landed on the light blue light shield supported by the formation. Its flickering black knife shadow continuously attacked each node of the light shield.

Click!Click!
After a few breaths, the third-level formation finally broke and disappeared into bits of broken light.

"Weitu, you poisoned our saint, you should die!" Granny Ke smiled coldly, and then spat out a mouthful of blood, which was printed on the gray-black dagger.

In an instant, the tip of the gray-black dagger flashed with strange blood, as fast as lightning, and stabbed Wei Tu's chest fiercely.

But at this time, a golden talisman shield suddenly rose, blocking the gray and black dagger.

"What? A third-level high-quality talisman?"

Granny Ke was shocked and couldn't believe it.

She didn't expect Wei Tu to be so difficult to kill, even if he had a third-level formation in the alchemy room, he even carried a high-quality third-level talisman with him.

"But if it's just one..."

Granny Ke gritted her teeth.
