I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 346 Silver Moon Pond, Miserable Nascent Soul (please subscribe)

Although the Mingwang Sect is the origin of Qingzhu Mountain, after ten thousand years of decline, the Nascent Soul cultivators in its sect have long since declined. Relying on the shadow of the ancestors, he could barely maintain the quasi-Nascent Soul power and protect the fourth-level spiritual land of Qingshi Mountain.

Therefore, the realm ratio of the upper echelons of the Mingwang Sect is stronger than that of the general Jindan forces, but compared to the Nascent Soul forces, the scale is smaller.

"Prince Ming's sect poisoned and killed the disciples of our sect, and he himself was not unharmed. There were originally seventeen golden elixir masters known as the Seventeen Vajra's in his sect, but now there are only eleven golden elixir cultivators left. …”

"Among these eleven people, three are in the late stage of Jindan cultivation and are very powerful. They are the existences that you and I need to avoid."

Sun Chixin explained everything one by one.

After speaking, Sun Chixin also handed over to Wei Tu the detailed information about the remaining Jindan Zhenjun of the Mingwang Sect, as well as the topographic map and building distribution map of his sect.

"Fellow Daoist Sun is so powerful. No wonder he can become a high-ranking official in Qingzhu Mountain when he enters, and he can become the big shopkeeper whom the Fu family relies on when he retreats..."

Wei Tu took the jade slip of information. When he saw the contents of the jade slip, he praised Sun Chixin at the first sight.

Every bit of the information Sun Chixin gave him was introduced in detail and analyzed in detail.

In addition, he also analyzed the possible hiding place of the ancestor of Red Snake in the jade slip.

Mingwangmen and Qingzhushan exercises have the same origin...

Therefore, to the Mingwang Sect, the body of the Red Snake Ancestor is not just an ordinary Yuanying corpse, but a secret treasure that may be further advanced.

Therefore, the chance that a senior member of the Mingwang Sect secretly hid the Nascent Soul bones of the Red Snake Ancestor was not high.

……

a few days later.

After finalizing a specific action plan.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Wei Tu and Sun Chixin came to the southeast corner of Qingshi Mountain.

"Go!" Sun Chixin took out a cyan orb from his sleeve and threw it on the formation mask.

The cyan orb rotated around, projecting a piece of cyan light, which began to slowly erode the formation mask.

This kind of cyan orb is no stranger to Wei Tu. This object is called the "Breaking Forbidden Bead" and has the same function as his "Tai Miao Treasure Realm". It can be used to break formations and restrictions.

Only, it's different.

The Forbidden Breaking Pearl is only a one-time treasure.

However, the Taimiao Treasure Realm can be used multiple times, and its level is higher, it is a fourth-level forbidden treasure.

"Donkey dung eggs have a shiny surface..."

"The Mingwangmen's sect-protecting formation seems to be a quasi-fourth-level formation, but in fact it is just a cover. Inside, it is just an ordinary third-level mid-level formation..."

Seeing the Forbidden Breaking Pearl take effect, Sun Chixin's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and his face showed a relaxed look.

The Forbidden Bead is an officially prohibited item in the Xiao Kingdom. It is generally only circulated within the sect and is strictly prohibited from being sold in the market.

Finding this third-level forbidden-breaking bead had cost him a lot of time and financial resources. If the first step of today's action failed, Sun Chixin would not know what to do.

see this scene.

Wei Tu was not too surprised.

A power that has been in decline for many years, such as the Mingwang Sect, usually faces more than one kind of crisis. The first one to explode is often a financial crisis, unable to make ends meet.

Formation maintenance seems to be very important, related to the life and death of a sect, but in fact, compared to other places, formation maintenance is inconspicuous. Naturally, it can be saved as much as possible, and every day counts.

If the Quasi-Level [-] formation is activated throughout the year, even if the top management of Mingwangmen are honest and upright, they may not be able to bear it.

Waited for about a cup of tea.

A hole the size of a fist was eroded by the forbidden-breaking beads in the formation mask.

Seeing this, Wei Tu and Sun Chixin no longer hesitated. After looking at each other, they activated their escape techniques and flew into the hole.

Compared with the desolation outside Qingshi Mountain, there are more people inside Mingwang Sect, but there are only a few people coming and going, and there is no lively scene like other immortal sects.

After entering the Mingwang Gate.

The two did not get together again, but split up.

Sun Chixin's realm was sealed by evil poison, and he could only rely on secret techniques to exert the power of the golden elixir in a short period of time, but could not support long-term operations.

And in terms of strength, it is far from its peak state, and it is the weakest level in the middle stage of Jindan.

Therefore, taking by force is not feasible for Wei Tu and Sun Chixin.

The two of them need to first inquire about the specific location of what they have obtained - "The Ming Dynasty Subduing the Tiger Technique" and the Huaying Pill.

The latter is somewhat difficult.

But in the former case, it is possible to rob a few foundation-building monks from the Mingwang Sect and obtain the entire skill.

Sun Chixin is more inclined to keep a low profile than Wei Tu and not take risks.

……

After separation from Sun Chixin.

Wei Tu was not in a hurry to act according to the plan. He randomly captured a Mingwang Sect Foundation Builder on the road and used the colorful magic moth's talent to trick him into confessing the information in his mind. After seeing that he was not much different from what Sun Chixin said, he continued Next action.

""Thousand Faces Illusion Skill"!" Wei Tu muttered silently, and his appearance soon became exactly the same as that of Mingwang Sect Foundation Establishment.

Then, Wei Tu used the "Aoki Breath Condensing Technique" to control his realm aura to the foundation building realm.

After doing all this, Wei Tu flew over at a low altitude and headed for the "Silver Moon Pond" recorded in the intelligence.

Silver Moon Pond is located in the back mountain of Qingshi Mountain. It is the place where high-level officials of the Mingwang Sect retreat.

This place is the best place for Sun Chixin to suspect that the Mingwangmen would hide the body of the ancestor of the Red Snake.

First, the corpse of the Red Snake Ancestor is mainly used for research, not for viewing.

It must not be placed in the main hall where miscellaneous items are dealt with, such as the Leiyin Hall, to serve as a mascot.

Of the two, the Silver Moon Pond is a spiritual pond, and its water has the effect of nourishing the physical body of the monks.

Placing the body of the Red Snake Ancestor here can effectively maintain the spiritual power in his body and maintain the maximum research effect.

Wei Tu was lucky. The monk he disguised himself was "Yan Qing", the steward of the Mingwang Sect's back hill. He was qualified to enter the Ming King Sect's back hill and handle the sect's chores.

"Manager Yan, are you here to take care of the medicine garden again? If you are so diligent, you will definitely win the favor of Elder Yuan."

When they reached the area of ​​Silver Moon Pool, the foundation-building monk in charge of guarding saw Wei Tu, a smile appeared on his face and he joked casually.

After hearing this, Wei Tu's mind immediately showed up with the information about Elder Yuan.

Elder Yuan's name is "Yuan Chunhe", and he is a newly promoted early Jindan monk in the Mingwang sect within the past hundred years.

At the same time, he is also the elder in charge of "Silver Moon Pond", an important spiritual place of the sect.

There is one more thing that Wei Tu should pay attention to.

Yuan Chunhe's clan uncle "Yuan Zhifeng" is the only three remaining late-stage Jindan members of the Mingwang sect. He is called "Tai Shang Yuan" and is the only Taishang elder of the Mingwang sect.

In the past, the Mingwang Sect was a Yuanying force, and only the Yuanying Ancestor could serve as the Supreme Elder. However, after it fell into the Jindan force, the rules also changed.

"Elder Yuan's divine dragon has seen its beginning but not its end. It would be nice if we, the sect's junior cultivators, are not harshly criticized."

Yan Qing, who was disguised as Wei Tu, immediately had a wry smile on his face after hearing the joke from his fellow students.

Before arriving, Wei Tu already knew everything about Yan Qing's behavior, personality and conversation, so his behavior at this moment did not arouse any suspicion among the monks present.     After passing the guarding monks.

Wei Tu's entry into the Silver Moon Pond was smooth and he encountered almost no obstacles.

After a while, Wei Tu came near a sparkling spiritual pond that exuded the moonlight.

"Is there a restriction?" Wei Tu used his consciousness and seeped into the pool water, but within a short time, he encountered a layer of faint crystal blue restriction in the center of the pool water.

Although this layer of crystal blue restriction is not very sophisticated, it has the miraculous effect of blocking spiritual exploration.

Seeing this, Wei Tu felt happy.

The water in Silver Moon Pond is just ordinary spiritual liquid, and it is definitely not enough to set up a ban. There must be some secret hidden at the bottom of the pool, which is why the monks of the Mingwang Sect went to such trouble to set up this ban.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Bai." Wei Tu lowered his sleeves and released the Angelica dahurica hidden in his sleeves.

After Bai Zhi turned to the ghost path, her ghost body was more flexible and changeable than the monk's body, and she was more suitable than him to sneak into the bottom of the Silver Moon Pond to detect information.

"Fellow Daoist Wei and I are connected in life, there is nothing to say about them being involved. Besides, if fellow Daoist Wei realizes Nascent Soul early, I will also have a chance to regain the path."

Bai Zhi smiled slightly, her body changed, and her ghost body shrank to the size of a baby's fist.

——It is difficult for the Yin spirit of all calamities to become a saint. Only by relying on Wei Tu, could she go further on the ghost path.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly. He turned his palm, took out the Taimiao Mirror, and handed it to Bai Zhi.

"I'll come back as soon as I leave." Bai Zhi flicked her jade sleeve, and the ghost spirit wrapped the Taimiao Mirror, a forbidden forbidden treasure, deep into the water.

After a while, a red light passed across the bottom of the pool.

The trace of Bai Zhi disappeared in front of Wei Tu's eyes in an instant.

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour.

A ray of black energy quietly broke through the water and came to Wei Tu's side.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, there are indeed mysteries hidden under the bottom of the pool. There are three secret rooms under the bottom of the pool. One is for cultivation, one contains a fourth-level water attribute spiritual tree, and the other... is empty... …”

"However, I judge from the aura of this secret room that the body of the Red Snake Ancestor should have been placed in this secret room a few days ago."

Bai Zhi returned to Wei Tu's sleeve and whispered in Wei Tu's ear using the art of sound transmission.

"A few days ago?"

Wei Tu secretly sighed at the unfortunate timing.

If he had come a few days earlier, the body of the Red Snake Ancestor might have been in his possession.

"The Silver Moon Pond has a nourishing effect on the body of the Red Snake Ancestor and can maintain its spirituality. Then, the Mingwang Sect should not transport the Red Snake Ancestor's body away from the Silver Moon Pond for too long..."

Wei Tu decided to stay near Silver Moon Pond for a few more days despite his identity as "Yan Qing".

In addition, Wei Tu decided to target the "suspect" who held the body of the ancestor of the Red Snake, and if necessary, directly snatch it.

With the body refining skills at his side, Wei Tu was not afraid of any of the monks from the Mingwang Sect, but he was worried that under the encirclement of his sect, there would be too many ants to kill the elephant.

……

Two days later.

Yuan Chunhe, the deacon elder of Silver Moon Pool, came to inspect the poolside medicine garden that Yan Qing was responsible for taking care of.

Wei Tu noticed that Yuan Chunhe stopped by the Silver Moon Pond for more than half a day.

"These elixirs are taken care of well. It seems that you are careful. In a few days, I will recommend you to my uncle. Maybe I can marry you a girl from the Yuan family."

After reading the elixirs in the poolside medicine garden, Yuan Chunhe showed a look of satisfaction on his face. After taking a look at Wei Tu, he nodded in approval.

How could the Yuan family turn away a subordinate who was capable and knew how to please him so easily?

"Thank you, Elder Yuan, for your appreciation."

Wei Tu's face was filled with excitement and he expressed his gratitude again and again.

While acting, Wei Tu secretly sighed a few times. If this foundation-building monk named Yan Qing had not interfered with him, he might have become the real power manager of the Mingwang Sect in a few decades. He was located in the Ming Dynasty. All the golden elixirs from the Mingwang Sect fell under the influence.

His skills in handling elixirs are indeed good, to the point where he, a third-level alchemist, appreciates them.

Seeing Wei Tu's reaction, Yuan Chunhe's eyes showed a trace of relief. He stroked his beard, encouraged Wei Tu a few more words, and then fled out of the poolside medicine garden.

Yuan Chunhe didn't know that "Yan Qing", whom he had just regarded as a junior, actually had the ability to kill him at will.

He has been walking with the tiger.

……

Wei Tu has been monitoring Yuan Chunhe's traces. During the short period of time he was in the medicine garden beside the pool, he had no chance to sneak into Silver Moon Pool.

Wei Tu suspected that Yuan Chunhe's clan uncle "Yuan Zhifeng" might be the next high-ranking member of the Mingwang clan who holds the body of the Red Snake Ancestor.

Yuan Chunhe stopped at Silver Moon Pond, probably to see if another senior member of the sect had returned the body of the Red Snake Ancestor.

After all, the body of the Red Snake Ancestor needs the water of Silver Moon Pond to be nourished, so it is possible that it will be returned in advance.

More than ten days passed by in a flash.

Wei Tu was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

During this period, Wei Tu and Sun Chixin communicated by secret means and maintained information exchange.

Within half a month, Sun Chixin, who was experienced in the world, and Wei Tu, had preliminary confirmation of the "Ming King Subduing the Tiger Technique" that they needed, and only when the time was right, they would snatch it.

Sun Chixin's target is another high-ranking Jindan member of the Mingwang Sect. This person's realm is the same as Yuan Chunhe's, in the early stage of Jindan, but his position is different.

His position is the steward of Leiyin Palace.

It would be difficult for Sun Chixin to rob and kill this person, and he would need Wei Tu's assistance.

Wei Tu agreed to Sun Chixin's request, but the premise was that Sun Chixin was not allowed to take action without permission, and he had to wait until he got the body of the Red Snake Ancestor before making a decision.

Hard work pays off.

After holding on for a month.

Wei Tu, who was monitoring the Silver Moon Pond, finally waited for the day when the upper echelons of the Mingwang Sect would return the body of the Red Snake Patriarch to the bottom of the Silver Moon Pond.

As before, Wei Tu sent Bai Zhi to borrow the Taimiao Mirror to break through the restrictions at the bottom of the pool and take out the body of the Red Snake Ancestor and other treasures at the bottom of the pool.

"Is this the ancestor of Red Snake?"

Poolside medicine garden, steward's room.

Wei Tu looked at the skinny old man with his eyes closed and lifeless in front of him. In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he also felt desolate at the dismal end of this powerful Nascent Soul.

The dignified Nascent Soul strongman, the being who claimed to be the ancestor of various sects in various countries, unexpectedly died in the ambush of the Jindan junior due to a moment of negligence...

It's too suffocating to die.

Even after death, there is no peace, being studied repeatedly by these juniors from the Mingwang Sect.

"Powerful is a relative term. If Nascent Soul faces a Golden Core cultivator, he may die due to negligence, let alone a cultivator of the same level..."

At this time, the arrogance that Wei Tu had after defeating Situ Yang completely disappeared.
