I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 321 The magic weapon of destiny - Thunder Ruler (5k, please subscribe)

Yuan Jie was elected Queen Youxian, and the internal fighting in the Ying Ding tribe came to an end, and peace was restored.

As before, Wei Tu's main focus was on Wei's Alchemy Workshop, striving to improve his alchemy attainments in the shortest possible time.

——The improvement of Jindan Zhenjun's realm is different from Qi training and foundation building. It is just a common thing for most monks to spend decades or even hundreds of years to improve a small realm without external help.

For example, High Priest Mu Feng only stayed in the middle stage of Jindan throughout his life.

Therefore, Wei Tu spent more time in Wei's Danfufang than meditating in the cave.

In his spare time, Wei Tu will also fulfill his contract and do his best to provide guidance on alchemy and talismans to the Tao family alchemists and talisman masters in the shop.

With the guidance of Wei Tu.

Tao Zhongjing's alchemy path progressed rapidly. In just six years, he reached a higher level and reached the second level of high-level alchemy master. He also became a new golden sign of Wei's Alchemy Studio.

In contrast, Tao Jie and Tao Ya's progress in the Tao of Talisman was much slower.

It is worth mentioning that.

During this period, colleagues in Hujiexian City offered high prices to poach Tao Zhongjing, but Tao Zhongjing bluntly rejected them.

In fact, Tao Zhongjing made it clear in public that he was willing to follow Senior Wei for the rest of his life and be the alchemist of Wei's Alchemy Workshop forever.

As soon as these words of loyalty came out, many monks in Hujie Immortal City were shocked and couldn't believe it.

After all, the alchemist's status is lofty. Even if Wei Tu's status is extraordinary and he is a senior in the industry, it is unlikely that a second-level high-grade alchemist will openly swear allegiance.

After some good people inquired, they learned the origin between the Tao family of Hanshan and Wei Tu, and understood the truth about why the Tao family of Hanshan was loyal to Wei Tu.

Soon, Wei Tu's good deeds were known to most of the monks in Hujie Immortal City, and spread beyond the three major divisions.

After the good reputation spread, even stranger monks had more trust in Wei Tu, a third-level alchemist with noble character. Some monks even traveled thousands of miles to Hujie Immortal City to beg Wei Tu to open an alchemy furnace for safety.

Of course, Wei Tu's fame is indispensable because of the driving force behind the scenes.

Tao Zhongjing's words of loyalty were initially a spontaneous act of the Tao family and had nothing to do with outsiders. At most, they were the gradual fermentation of Wei Tu's honest behavior.

But later on, Wei Tu and Prince Youxian's Mansion secretly interfered.

Wei Tu, a third-level alchemist, is not only the golden sign of Wei's Danfu Fang, but also the golden sign of Prince Youxian's Palace.

Adding prestige to Wei Tu will, in turn, increase the prestige of Prince Youxian's Palace.

As for Wei Tu...

He also urgently needs a good reputation to increase his status in the industry, so as to obtain more commissions for refining third-level elixirs.

It was a hit-and-miss relationship that happened by accident.

Therefore, while his reputation was growing, thanks to this, Wei Tu's alchemy attainments also began to improve steadily, and he was about to become a third-level mid-level alchemist.

but--

Just when Situ You, the elder of Gujian Mountain, traveled thousands of miles and traveled for several days to arrive in Hujiexian City and was preparing to ask for elixirs, Wei Tu suddenly went into seclusion a few days ago.

"Senior Situ, please wait for a while. Before the retreat, Senior Wei said that this retreat will last up to three months..."

The fourth floor of the store is the reception room.

Tao Fangde took a look at the handsome man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes in front of him, and said with a smile.

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate.

Because of Wei Tu, Tao Fangde has received as many as eighty Jindan True Lords in the past few years, if not a hundred.

Therefore, when Tao Fangde faced Jindan True Lords like Situ You, he felt much less fear in his heart and adopted an attitude of equality.

"Alchemist Wei is in seclusion?"

"At most three months?"

Hearing this, Situ You looked hesitant.

Three months is neither long nor short.It can only be regarded as the daily retreat of Jindan Zhenjun.

"Okay, I'll wait for March."

After hesitating for a moment, thinking about Wei Tu's good reputation, Situ You nodded and decided to wait in Hujiexian City for a while.

……

Hujie is the fairy city, where the skylark lives.

Inside the secret room.

Wei Tu, who was anxiously awaited by Situ You, was sitting cross-legged at the moment, looking towards the center of the secret room, where the "Ten Thousand Woods Thunder Formation" shone with lavender thunder.

Within a dozen formation flags, the branches of spirit wood as thick as an arm shone with lightning, and complex thunder patterns appeared on the surface.

This object is the dead branch of the Thunder Spirit Tree that Wei Tu obtained from Yuan Xian back then.

After more than 50 years of cultivation by the "Ten Thousand Trees Nurturing Thunder Array", this dead branch of the thunder spirit tree that was about to die finally regained its original appearance more than ten days ago and took on its first appearance.

From dead things to spiritual things.

"Unfortunately, this Thunder Spirit Tree was severely damaged and it does not have a root system. After recovery, it can only reach the fourth level. It is quite different from the fifth level recorded in ancient books."

Bai Zhi, who was wearing a black robe, stood in the corner of the secret room. She looked at the dead branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree in the formation and sighed softly.

The Thunder Spirit Tree is a creation of heaven and earth that grows in a strange area and is condensed from pure thunder spirit power and wood spirit power.

Its level is often above level five.It is a treasure that even the venerable gods covet.

But the withered branch of the Thunder Spirit Tree in front of me was undoubtedly much worse, and it was only a fourth-level low-grade one.

"The fourth-order low-grade spiritual trees are already very good. In the Da Cang Cultivation World, there are only a handful of fourth-order spiritual trees. They are mostly found in large sects and are rarely seen in the outside world."

Weitu shook his head.

He was not greedy. It was his good fortune to be able to obtain this fourth-level withered branch of the Thunder Spirit Tree from Yuan Xian for a mere thirty thousand spirit stones.

Fifth order?

Only the third-level formation of Ten Thousand Trees Nurturing Thunder Formation in front of us may not be able to restore the withered branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree to the fifth-level level even if it is cultivated for a hundred years.

In addition, the dead branches of the fourth-level Thunder Spirit Tree are enough for him to use.

During this retreat, Wei Tu not only wanted to see the dead branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree resurrected, but also wanted to use it as a spiritual material to refine the natal magic weapon - the Emperor Butterfly Ruler.

There are two methods for making natal magic weapons in "Shenmu Yuan Gong", namely "Rainbow Thorn" and "Emperor Butterfly Ruler".

The former, Wei Tu has already been obtained from Bao Siyan, and no further refinement is needed.

The main spiritual materials needed to refine the latter are third-level spiritual butterflies and a piece of fourth-level spiritual wood.

Coincidentally, the dead branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree were at the fourth level, which just met the requirements for refining.

In addition, the initial level of the dead branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree is above level five. Using them as spiritual materials to refine the natal magic weapon will also help Wei Tu to improve the level of the natal magic weapon in the future.

As for the third-order spirit butterfly...

A year ago, Wei Tu had asked Yuan Jie to find one in Ying Ding's department.

Although there are not many strange insects such as the third-level spirit butterfly in the world of immortal cultivation and are extremely rare, it is not difficult for the Ying Ding tribe.

The spiritual path of the Kangju people is based on secret witchcraft and fused with the immortal path.

Although Spirit Butterflies account for a small proportion of Secret Gu's Gu insects, they have been systematically cultivated within the Ying Ding Department.

"Yuyang Butterfly."

As soon as Wei Tu touched the spirit beast bag, a yellow and blue butterfly the size of a fist appeared on his hand.

Yuyang Butterfly is the third-level spiritual butterfly he requested from the Ying Ding Department this time.

This butterfly is a rare yang attribute spirit insect in the world of immortality.

Although its innate spells are mediocre, fortunately they do not conflict with the attributes of the Thunder Spirit Wood. It is the third-level spiritual butterfly currently in Ying Ding that is most compatible with the Thunder Spirit Wood's attributes.

The natal magic weapon is different from the ordinary magic weapon. Even if the monk himself has no experience in refining the weapon, he can successfully refine the natal magic weapon step by step by relying on the natal skill and taking a long time.

Although Wei Tu had not spent much energy on the art of weapon refining before, he had received a third-level weapon inheritance from Bai Zhi many years ago... Therefore, in terms of studying the art of weapon, he was comparable to ordinary people. A second-level weapon refiner.

Therefore, Wei Tu does not need to specifically entrust others to refine the natal magic weapon of the Emperor Butterfly Ruler.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for protecting the Dharma."

Wei Tu bowed to Bai Zhi, then took out a tripod and prepared to refine the Emperor Butterfly Ruler.

He calmed down, with a solemn look on his face, pointed at the Thunder Spirit Wood in the formation, and took it into his palm.

Then, Wei Tu opened his mouth slightly and spit out a stream of hot elixir fire, which fell into the cauldron in front of him.

Wait until the tripod turns red.

Wei Tu took the opportunity to invest in thunder spirit wood and refine the corresponding spiritual materials of the Emperor Butterfly Ruler.

ten days later.

On the lid of the cauldron, precious light overflowed, and occasionally a few rays of lavender thunder flashed.Within the cauldron lid, there seemed to be a thunder beast, and from time to time a low sound could be heard. The sound was like thunder from the nine heavens, deafening.

Sitting on the futon, Wei Tu felt calm. He controlled his spiritual consciousness, accurately controlled the elixir fire in the cauldron, and slowly refined the spiritual materials.

When the spiritual material of the cauldron turned into liquid and gradually took shape, condensing into a long purple ruler as thick as a baby's arm, Wei Tu made a move. He waved his sleeves and threw the Yuyang Butterfly in his hand into the cauldron. Within the tripod.

Yuyang Die was roasted by the Dan Fire and died instantly. His body melted into the Blue and Purple Ruler, while the remaining essence lingered near the Blue and Purple Ruler, refusing to integrate.

"This is a crucial step."

Bai Zhi looked worried.

Just like the magic weapons, the natal magic weapons of Jindan Zhenjun also have different levels.An important basis for its judgment is the spirituality of the natal magic weapon.

A magic weapon like the Emperor Butterfly Ruler, which is integrated with the spirit of monsters and beasts during refining, is naturally a high-level item among the natal magic weapons.

However, it also comes with a price.

That is the difficulty of refining. Compared with ordinary natal magic weapons, it is infinitely more difficult.

Very easy to fail.

Time passed slowly.

More than two months passed in a flash.

There are only five days left before the March period.

On this day, the cauldron in front of Wei Tu shook slightly, and glowing light began to escape from the walls of the cauldron, and streams of pure spiritual energy came out of the cauldron.

"open!"

Following Wei Tu's words, he drank softly.

The cauldron opened, and a long ruler as thick as a baby's arm flew out of the glow with a buzzing sound, suspended in mid-air.

This long ruler is blue and purple in color, with a finger-sized golden butterfly pattern printed on the handle, which looks quite gorgeous.

Wei Tu stretched out his hand and used magic power to capture the long purple ruler. He thought for a moment and then touched the long ruler with magic power.

In an instant, the long purple ruler changed its appearance and turned into a black color. The surface of the ruler was bare and unpretentious. .

"This way, it will be less easy for people to guess the origin of the magic weapon."

Wei Tu looked satisfied.

The Dao pattern is natural, and it is difficult for him to change it.You can only modify the appearance after it comes out of the oven.

"Try the power of the magic weapon."

Wei Tu held the long ruler, and a green light emerged from his right palm, slowly injecting magic power into the long ruler.

next moment.

Just hearing the sound of thunder, several cyan phantoms appeared out of thin air in the secret room, running in all directions and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

One of the cyan phantoms stopped when it was about to hit the wall of the secret room.

"It's much better than I expected. The "Chipfly Parasitism Technique" performed by Emperor Butterfly Chi is not only faster, but the phantoms it creates are almost the same as real people..."

Wei Tu was overjoyed.

The Imperial Butterfly Ruler, a natal magic weapon, is not only useful for attacking, but its biggest function is to cooperate with the secret escape technique of "Chipfly Parasitism" to quickly escape.

——The earthworm parasitism technique is an escape technique performed with the help of fourth-level spiritual trees.The caster can use the source of the spiritual wood to create a clone that is exactly the same as himself, and then escape calmly.

Wei Tu discovered that the Emperor Butterfly Ruler he made with thunder wood could escape faster than the Emperor Butterfly Ruler recorded in the technique.

After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the fastest escape methods are none other than Thunder Escape and Wind Escape.

His Imperial Butterfly Ruler was made from dead branches of the Thunder Spirit Tree that fell to the fourth level.Therefore, when using the "Chipfly Parasitism Technique" to escape, you are borrowing the thunder power in the magic weapon.

In other words, Wei Tu mastered the Thunder Escape in disguise by borrowing the Imperial Butterfly Ruler in his hand.

"The common name of Emperor Butterfly Ruler is not suitable, and it is easy for others to discover the foundation of my skills. From now on, I will call it... Thunder Spirit Ruler."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and thought to himself.

Next, Wei Tu tried his attack method with the Thunder Ruler.

However, compared with escaping, the attack of the Thunder Ruler can only be regarded as mediocre.

Its power is within the middle stage of the golden elixir, which is above normal.

Of course, this does not mean that Lei Lingchi is useless.But the strength of Wei Tu, Dharma and Body cultivator is too strong, surpassing the ordinary Jin Dan Zhenjun by a lot.

If it is an ordinary golden elixir, with the help of the natal magic weapon of Thunder Spirit Ruler, its strength will instantly rise to the top of the same level.

However, Wei Tu is different. His strength has surpassed the same level and has reached the late stage of Jindan.That's why it seems that Lei Lingchi is useless.

Fortunately, the escape effect of the Thunder Ruler is particularly outstanding, adding a life-saving means to Wei Tu, which is even more powerful.

……

Two days later.

Wei Tu broke through the barrier and headed to the store.

"Elder Situ You of Gujian Mountain..." Tao Fangde came over after hearing the news and took the opportunity to report important matters.

"Gujian Mountain?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was slightly surprised.

Three divisions, two mountains and one palace, these are the six top forces of Kang State.Gujian Mountain is one of the two mountains. In terms of strength, it is at least equivalent to two Jingshui Pavilions.

Therefore, from common sense analysis, there should be no shortage of third-level alchemists in Gujian Mountain to make alchemy for Situ You. There is no need for Situ You to entrust him to make alchemy.

In the past few years, most of the monks outside Ying Ding who entrusted Wei Tu to refine elixirs were casual cultivators, and there were very few immortal sect golden elixirs like Situ You.

"Invite him here first."

Wei Tu suppressed his doubts and said.

Situ You waited for him for three months. Even if he refused to make elixirs for him, before that, he had to meet his superior Situ You to avoid ruining his reputation.

After half an hour.

Situ You rushed to Wei's Danfufang.

After the meeting, Situ You revealed the elixir he had entrusted Wei Tu to refine.

"I have heard about Alchemist Wei for a long time. I came here this time to ask fellow Taoist Wei to refine the "Golden Marrow Pill". I wonder... is Alchemist Wei confident in refining this elixir?"

Hearing the name of the elixir, Wei Tu's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately swallowed the words of rejection from his throat.

Without it, the Golden Marrow Pill would be too valuable.

It is also very important to him.

Golden Marrow Pill is a rare third-level elixir in the world of immortality that can be used for monks to refine their bodies.

Whether it is the prescription of the Golden Marrow Pill or the elixir saved in the process of refining the Golden Marrow Pill, it will be beneficial to his subsequent body refining.

Nowadays, although Xiao Guo's Golden Congo is still effective against Wei Tu, he has developed resistance after taking two pills, and the price/performance ratio is no longer high.

Golden Marrow Pill is a good substitute.

"Fellow Daoist Situ is from Gujian Mountain, why don't you find an alchemist within the sect?"

Wei Tu expressed his concerns.

If Situ You didn't explain this matter clearly, no matter how greedy he was for the Golden Marrow Pill, he would not hastily agree to this unusual thing.

The four words "unusual" naturally carry a danger signal.

"I have another enemy within the sect. This person's name is... Wei Hua. To be honest with Alchemist Wei, I have a life-and-death feud with this guy..."

"If you refine alchemy in the sect, your every move will be known to the sect. The reason why I came to Alchemist Wei is because the Ying Ding tribe is remote. If I refine alchemy here, no one will know about my increased strength."

Situ You hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Is that the only reason?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Because there are enemies in the sect, it is indeed a reasonable thing to find another alchemist to refine the elixir.

The reason why the Frost Fairy of Ning Yue Palace was willing to make friends with him, a third-level alchemist, was related to this reason.

Heretics are worse than pagans.

Where there are competing interests, there are conflicts.This is especially true for the sects.

"Fellow Daoist Situ, Wei will always investigate before refining the elixir. If his words are untrue... it is absolutely impossible for Wei to refine this elixir."

Wei Tu said unceremoniously.

"That's the only reason."

Situ You looked calmly and nodded seriously.

"After half a month, if things are consistent with what Fellow Taoist Situ said, Wei will start refining the pill again."

Seeing this, Wei Tu did not rush to agree. He thought for a moment and said.

The more conspicuous the place, the easier it is to offend people.

He won't make an elixir easily without investigating clearly.

"Okay! Wait for another half month."

When Situ You heard this, he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He nodded and said goodbye.

Alchemists have a high status in the world of immortality.And Wei Tu is the chief alchemist of Prince Youxian's Mansion, he is not a little person who moves around.

Wei Tu asked him to wait for half a month, and he could only wait. There was no way he would get into a fight or get angry because of this matter.
