I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 352: Encountering obstacles on the return journey, murderous intention arises (please subscribe)

Wei Tu was speechless.

Before coming to Xiao Guo, he was worried that something big would happen in Xiao Guo and delay his return journey, so he went to Ning Yue Palace to change Wei Yan's Mortal Transformation Pill in advance.

Today, a prophecy came true.

"But if senior really wants to go to Kang State, there is nothing we can do." At this time, the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce groaned and secretly transmitted a message to Wei Tu.

"What method?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu's heart moved.

"Nowadays, the cross-border caravans between Xiao and Kang have stopped trading, but the cross-border caravans from Xiao to Chu and Wushan are still there. Seniors can go to Chu and Wushan first, and then transfer to Kang..."

The middle-aged shopkeeper said slowly.

Wushan State is the other country among the four inland countries besides Xiao, Kang and Chu.

The strength of its country is almost the same as that of Kang State.

"It's just..." At this point, the middle-aged shopkeeper looked hesitant, as if he had something else to say, but he swallowed it down out of concern.

"Shopkeeper, feel free to speak out."

Wei Tu frowned and waved his hand, signaling the middle-aged shopkeeper not to worry too much.

"Since the senior asked, then the junior will just say it." After hearing Wei Tu's words, the middle-aged shopkeeper seemed to put down his worries. After glancing outward for a few times, he said: "Transfer to Chu State, Wu Although it is feasible to go to Shan State and then to Kang State, according to what I have heard before, these two transnational trade routes have been plagued by robbers frequently in recent days and are difficult to contain..."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged shopkeeper pointed to several large chambers of commerce next door.

Hearing this, Wei Tuna still didn't understand that the robbers on other transnational trade routes mentioned by the middle-aged shopkeeper were most likely the monks from the big chamber of commerce in disguise.

This act of cutting off business is nothing more than to put pressure on the Tianyi Sect.

If monks like him can transfer, it means that the cross-border trade between Xiao and Kang can also take advantage of the road, and there is no need to focus on the trade routes between Xiao and Kang.

With the help of robbers from other trade routes, these large chambers of commerce can jointly exert pressure to reach the Tianyi Sect, making the Tianyi Sect feel the pain and make concessions.

"The Six Desire Sect led by Ji Zhang robbed the transnational caravan. The losses were not too much for the big chambers of commerce. This time, these big chambers of commerce joined forces and used the topic to force the Tianyi Sect. It seems that they have a big plan..." Wei Tu thought to himself.

After all, Tianyi Sect is not a small sect, but the top immortal sect in Haizhou second only to Shengya Mountain.

According to common sense——

Even if Ji Zhang robs and does more harm, these large chambers of commerce will still sell the face of the Tianyi Sect in the Xiao Kingdom, and at most ask for reasonable compensation.

It was impossible and would not be necessary to put pressure on the Tianyi Sect and force it to make complete concessions.

However, due to intelligence limitations, it was difficult for Wei Tu to know the specific purposes of these large chambers of commerce.

"Is there any other way to get to Kang State?"

Wei Tu asked again.

The last robbery incident forced him to provoke Wang Tianwu and the Fu family brothers and sisters. Although the danger was saved afterwards, he didn't want to go through it again.

He just wanted to return to Kangguo safely.

"In addition to transferring to other countries, there are also black ships for smuggling. However, we at the Wufu Chamber of Commerce don't know much about the black ship business."

The middle-aged shopkeeper replied.

There are borders between countries. In addition to preventing invasions from other countries, border customs also levy tariffs on passing trade caravans.

Black ships refer to these transnational caravans that specialize in evading tariffs.

On the trade routes between Xiao and Kang, the major chambers of commerce strictly prohibited their transnational caravans from going there because they wanted to put pressure on the Tianyi Sect, but Black Ship was obviously not subject to this restriction.

"Black ship?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this critical moment, the major chambers of commerce are robbing even the transnational caravans that are "passing through other countries", let alone these black ships that are not under their control.

The danger of the black ship is not low either.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

After inquiring about the information, Wei Tu thanked him and left the headquarters of Wufu Chamber of Commerce.

He planned to first find out more information about transnational caravans and black ships in Bai Fengxian City, and then carefully consider the dangers of both before making a decision.

As for crossing the border alone…

Wei Tu doesn't think so yet.

The dangerous areas on the border between Xiao and Kang are much more dangerous than the Black Blood Swamp in Zheng.

The "Zhaoming Dead Sea" on its border is not only a place of extraordinary spirits, but the nearby area is also filled with the overbearing Dead Sea spirit poison, making it difficult for birds and animals to leap.

Without the support of the third-level spirit boat, even if it were the Golden Core Lord, he would be poisoned and exhausted if he crossed this extraordinary land.

Of course, if there are monks who can fly to the Jiugang Sky above the clouds, that would be a different matter.

Jiugangtian, also known as "Nine Heavens", is also named Jiugangtian because it is filled with the winds of various gods.

Jiugangtian is a high-altitude realm. In the world of immortality, except for the mana shield of the Yuanying Ancestor that can withstand the various violent winds here, if the other monks enter by mistake, they will be strangled to death in a short time.

Compared with the harsh environment of Jiugangtian, the Zhaoming Dead Sea on the ground is a good land.

……

Two days later.

Wei Tu inquired in Bai Fengxian City that there was a black ship recently, preparing to go to Kang State.

He restrained his movements and closely observed the movements of the black ship and the corresponding monks in the dark.

According to the information obtained previously, the success rate of black ship stowaways in the past four years is encouraging. Almost no black ship has encountered danger and died midway.

Wei Tu would not believe this easily.

Normal cross-border trade involves high risks, with certain losses and mortality, not to mention such black ships that do not follow safe trade routes.

as predicted.

Less than two months.

On this black ship, Wei Tu saw the entourage he had been paying close attention to before.

——From Liaozhou Haizhou to Kangguo, it took at least eight months to go back and forth at the speed of climbing a cloud and flying boat.

The level of Black Ship is far inferior to that of Deng Yun Feizhou, and it is impossible to return safely in less than two months.

"The black ships before may still be able to conduct business normally, but now the only business of the black ships is to rip off customers..."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and made a judgment.

Killing customers is the real meaning of killing customers.

After all, there is no way to make serious money with less risk and higher profit than by robbing customers.

Most of the black ships were merchants ashore and robbers ashore.

"I wonder when the Tianyi Sect will surrender? When will the normal trade between Xiao and Kang be restored?"

Wei Tu looked in the direction of Tianyi Sect.

At this moment, even he, a foreigner, felt the strangulating pressure after the major chambers of commerce joined forces.

Not to mention practitioners from other walks of life closely related to transnational commerce.

The resentment of these people will, without exception, be focused on the Tianyi Sect.

Such a huge pressure, even if the Tianyi Sect is the top immortal sect, it is estimated that it will be difficult to bear.

Surrender seems to be only a matter of time.

"Since... it's difficult to leave now, then I might as well not leave yet, and go visit Xiao Country as I said when I parted with Fu Linglong..." Wei Tu thought casually.

Previously, the reason why he was eager to return to Kangguo was because he did not want to worry his relatives and friends because he had been away for too long.

But the worries of relatives and friends are just worries.

If he really ignores the danger and is eager to return home, resulting in an unexpected incident during the journey... this is what his relatives and friends who care about him don't want to see.

Before coming to Xiao State, Wei Tu had already made psychological preparations not to return to Kang State for decades.

Decades may seem like a long time, but in terms of the life span of True Monarch Jin Dan, it is only a blink of an eye.

only--

Just when Wei Tu was about to leave Bai Fengxian City, he saw a familiar person in Bai Fengxian City.

"Yu Wencheng?"

Wei Tu was slightly surprised.

He did not expect that Yu Wencheng, who escaped from the Dengyun Feizhou four years ago, would actually appear in Bai Fengxian City.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that Yu Wencheng's appearance in Bai Fengxian City was a reasonable thing.

Bai Fengxian City is the largest city in Haizhou, and it is also the starting point of the cross-border caravans between Xiao and Kang. It is not impossible to take the cloud flying boat from other places in the Xiao Kingdom to the Kang Kingdom, but often these places need to wait for the flying boat. This starting place is convenient.

"I wonder why Yu Wencheng came to Xiao Kingdom?" Wei Tu touched his chin and thought for a moment.

He is already an enemy of the Sheri and Fengwu tribes, and he does not want to see these two tribes grow in strength and develop steadily.

After all, if the two forces are stronger, some of their strength might be used against him.

Wei Tu, who was standing on the street, watched as Yu Wencheng walked to the headquarters of Wufu Chamber of Commerce like him, took out a VIP order, and talked with the middle-aged shopkeeper.

Seeing this familiar scene, Wei Tu couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Sure enough, after asking for information from the middle-aged shopkeeper, Yu Wencheng's face immediately became gloomy, his eyes looked in the direction of Tianyi Sect, and he seemed to curse a few words on his lips.

After all, compared to Wei Tu, Yu Wencheng was the one who was really affected by the "Six Desires Sect".

If it hadn't been for the robbery by the Six Desires Sect, Yu Wencheng would not have been framed by Wei Tu, and thus he would have been targeted by Wang Tianwu of the Shenjia Sect. He was forced to flee in a hurry and lost his protector "Hong Lao".

When it comes to hatred, in Yu Wencheng's mind, Wang Tianwu ranks first, followed by Wei Tu, who framed him, and Ji Zhang, who robbed the Deng Yun Feizhou.

Of course, Yu Wencheng still doesn't know that it was Wei Tu who framed the deaths of the three people from the Qingming Sect on his head.

……

the other side.

After thinking for a moment, a coldness gradually appeared in Wei Tu's eyes. After pretending to be disguised, he walked towards Yu Wencheng who was leaving the store.

When he approached Yu Wencheng, he flicked his sleeves and sprinkled some Qianye dew around him.

Qianye Dew is a secret tracking medicine that Wei Tu obtained from the jade slips inherited by Yuji Sanren.

This medicine is colorless and odorless. Once touched, it will dissipate automatically after seven days.

When he was in the secret realm of Taixu Realm, Wei Tu was easily found by Bao Siyan because of this trick, and he was ambushed and assassinated.

If it weren't for Wei Tu's dual cultivation of law and body, Bao Siyan's assassination would not have broken through the defense. I am afraid that Wei Tu would have perished in Taixu Realm decades ago.

Now, this secret tracking medicine is sprinkled on Yu Wencheng. Wei Tu is confident enough that Yu Wencheng will not easily discover his method.

"If you have the chance, you should kill this man."

Wei Tu looked at Yu Wencheng's retreating back and thought to himself.

He is not good at killing people in his life. He will only take the first step unless his own safety is threatened.

And to be honest, the feud between him and Yu Wencheng is far from that big.

However, he was frightened by the hatred of the two major tribes, the Sheri tribe and the Fengwu tribe.

In order to kill him, the Fengwu tribe did not hesitate to use Lou Sanhua as a pawn, and spent the lifespans of Granny Ke and Granny Ma to push these two people to the late stage of Jindan using secret methods.

Although the Sheri Department's plot against him was not as blatant as that of the Fengwu Department, he was also aware of these two crises within the Ying Ding Department.

Four years ago, he framed Yu Wencheng in Dengyun Feizhou and turned this man into his life and death enemy.

Although Yu Wencheng didn't know it now, for the sake of safety, Wei Tu decided to strike first.

Half a year ago, he let Sun Chixin go because Sun Chixin's strength was not enough to threaten him.

Moreover, Sun Yu's death has long become an unsolved case. As long as he doesn't tell, no one will know.

But framing Yu Wencheng is not the case. If Yu Wencheng spends a lot of money to investigate, the murderer may be traced to him.

In addition, Yuwen Cheng’s strength cannot be underestimated.

Although his realm is only in the middle stage of Jin Dan, his strength is no longer weaker than the ordinary late stage Jin Dan. He is almost a weakened version of Taoist Situ Yang.

This threat must be eradicated.

However, the next seven days made Wei Tu feel quite regretful.

After Yu Wencheng left the shop, he did not leave the Bai Feng Fairy City. Instead, he rented a cave in this fairy city and began to practice cultivation.

This move gave Wei Tu no chance to make a move.

Of course, Wei Tu was not discouraged. He rented a room near the cave and while practicing, he sent out the colorful phantom moths in his hand to keep an eye on Yu Wencheng.

Stayed in Dongfu for a few days.

Yu Wencheng didn't make any movement, but the Sky-Splitting Sculpture in Wei Turing's beast bag ushered in a breakthrough.

Four years ago, the Sky-Splitting Diao's cultivation was already on the verge of reaching the middle stage of the third level. Over the past few years, Wei Tu has been fed countless spiritual pills, and his cultivation has long been on the verge of collapse.

It’s different than dealing with a landslide bear.

Wei Tu didn't have many expectations for the potential of the Sky-Splitting Diao, so he hardly put any restrictions on the Sky-Splitting Diao when it came to feeding pills.

Therefore, with Wei Tu, a third-level alchemist, as his master, it would be almost impossible for him to encounter any decent bottlenecks in the third-level realm.

After a few days.

With a cry, the air-splitting eagle successfully broke through, and the demonic aura on its body condensed into substance. Standing on the ground, the demonic body about ten feet tall looked extremely handsome.

"Go!" Wei Tu commanded the Split Sky Eagle to use his innate magical power "Split Wind Escape".

After hearing the command, the Sky-Splitting Eagle fluttered its wings, the blood mark between its eyebrows split open, and a strange blood mist shot out.

Under the blessing of this blood mist, a breeze suddenly appeared, and in less than an instant, the Sky-Splitting Eagle had moved hundreds of feet away.

"Mutation talent magical power?"

"Escape speed comparable to the peak of the Golden Core?"

Wei Tu's face showed a bit of surprise.

According to the regulations of the Beast Control Sect, when a normal third-level Sky-Splitting Sculpture uses its innate magical power "Splitting Wind Escape", there will be no blood stains or blood mist spraying out.

This phenomenon also proved his guess about the "abnormality" of the Sky-cracking Eagle a hundred years ago - after the Sky-Splitting Eagle swallowed a large amount of fairy liquid, its bloodline mutated.

It was this sudden change in bloodline that caused the Sky-Splitting Eagle to be infertile and unable to give birth to an heir.
