I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 405 The second ancestor of the Huang family, the Nine Yuan Flying Star Pearl (5k6, please subscribe)

Wei Tu on the side didn't know that Ni Shihuang was secretly angry because of him, but he heard clearly what Ni Meixian just said.

He relied on his power to oppress his fellow tribesmen...

Although this was a deliberately indulgent move on his part three years ago, his current attitude is a bit too domineering.

If he continues to indulge himself, this woman may cause some trouble for him.

Besides, he didn't really take this girl as his concubine. He is too arrogant now, and when he leaves, he will be asking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Wei Tu glanced at Ni Meixian lightly and warned: "Be careful! You are still just a foundation-building monk now."

The words fell.

Ni Meixian, who was still proud that Ni Shihuang was forced to give in, immediately turned extremely pale and bloodless, and at the same time there was a little panic in her eyes.

Fortunately, Wei Tu's words were conveyed by voice and did not completely derail Ni Meixian.

Therefore, the change in Ni Meixian's complexion was fleeting, and in less than a moment, she returned to the "noble lady" posture of Yuanying's concubine.

But this change in expression did not escape Ni Shihuang's eyes.

"A concubine is a concubine after all, but a substitute for a Taoist companion." Ni Shihuang snorted secretly, looking at Ni Meixian with a hint of pity.

She confidently believed that Wei Tu stayed in the Yunze Secret Realm for such a long time because of her.

And Ni Meixian is just her substitute.

After all, the two of them are sisters of the same race and have a certain similarity in appearance.

Otherwise, how could Wei Tu stand up for her?

……

Wei Tu had no intention of caring about or guessing the little thoughts of Ni Shihuang and Ni Meixian. What he was more concerned about was the ancient remnant talisman in Ni Shihuang's hand.

After all, if this talisman is really related to the powerful demon, maybe he can use it to find out the origin and weakness of the demon, and find a way to cure Bai Zhi.

Therefore, on the way back to Yunhe Mountain, when Wei Tu was talking to Ni Shihuang, he mentioned this thing as if unintentionally.

"This ancient remnant talisman was acquired by chance from the Ni family in Heshan, and is not owned by the younger generation. Therefore, this treasure is temporarily stored in the family's treasure pavilion."

Ni Shihuang quickly explained why he did not offer this treasure to Wei Tu immediately.

After saying this, she patted her chest and immediately promised that when she returned to Yunhe Mountain, she would abide by the agreement-immediately present the ancient remnant talisman as a congratulatory gift from the Ni family in Heshan to Wei Tu's condensed Yuanying.

After hearing this, Wei Tu smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal Ni Shihuang not to be so impatient.

However, since Wei Tu, the ancestor of Nascent Soul, mentioned this matter, the Ni family of Heshan would not neglect it.

A few days later, on the day they returned to Yunhe Mountain, the ancestors of the Ni family and Ni Shihuang personally went to the family treasure pavilion, took out the ancient remnant talisman, and presented it with their own hands.

"Thank you, you two." Wei Tu waved his sleeves and took out the jade box containing the ancient remnant talisman. He pierced his consciousness into the box and looked at the treasure talisman.

This ancient remnant talisman exudes clear light, with a strange flame pattern painted on its surface. Inside the pattern, a two-headed man can be faintly seen, meditating like a monk.

However, the only fly in the ointment is that this talisman is missing a corner. It was as if someone had torn a small part off from the lower right side.

"It's a pity that a corner is missing. It's hard to understand the original function of this talisman." Wei Tu sighed secretly.

Generally speaking, there are two methods to check the function of talismans.

One is to activate the talisman's power and analyze the role of the talisman from its power. Then look at which of the four major types of talismans it is: "Gong, Defense, Sealing, and Forbidden".

The two are to analyze the runes on the talisman, and analyze the specific functions from the style and direction of the runes.

But unfortunately, not only was this ancient broken talisman missing a corner, making it difficult to activate the talisman's power, but even the runes engraved on the talisman were something Wei Tu had never seen before.

This means that the above two methods are temporarily not applicable to this ancient remnant talisman.

"Yes! If this talisman had not been broken, it would not have fallen into my hands." Wei Tu shook his head, put away the jade box containing the ancient talisman, and planned to study it after returning to Kang State.

Knowledge and cultivation are different.

Although his current cultivation level has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, in terms of knowledge, it still belongs to the Golden Core stage and has not transformed to the Nascent Soul stage.

In other words, he cannot see the origin of this ancient remnant talisman now, but it may not be possible for other Nascent Soul cultivators, or for himself in the future.

"It will take some time for our clan to prepare for the spiritual banquet. If Senior Fu is not in a hurry, why not visit Yunhe Mountain with this junior?"

Seeing Wei Tu come back to his senses, Ni Shihuang on the side pursed his red lips, smiled, and actively invited.

If it had been her, she would not have initiated such a suggestive invitation to Wei Tu in front of Ni Meixian. After all, the eldest sister is a mother, so she has to give way to her younger sister on weekdays.

However, considering Ni Meixian's previous offense to her, she has no scruples about it.

Yunhe Mountain?

Hearing this, Wei Tu's heart moved, and he also had the idea of ​​​​visiting his old place again.

After all, Yunhe Mountain is the second spiritual place where he has stayed for a long time on his way to practice Taoism.

"Sure as you wish."

Wei Tu did not refuse and agreed with a smile.

As for what Ni Meixian was thinking, it was beyond his scope of consideration. After all, he was only recruiting a concubine, not an ancestor.

Moreover, the title of concubine must be placed in quotation marks.

After saying this, Wei Tu waved his sleeves and flew straight out of the hall, waiting for Ni Shihuang to follow behind him.

However, not long after, a strange look appeared on Wei Tu's face.

I saw——

Ni Shihuang, who was behind him, did not follow immediately. Instead, he walked to Ni Meixian first and said to her: "Second sister, you don't mind."

After saying this, Ni Shihuang waved his jade sleeves and walked out of the hall.

In the hall, Ni Meixian, who looked calm at first as Wei Tu left, became furious instantly after hearing this, with a look of shame and anger on his face.

"Interesting!" Wei Tu turned his head and took a look at the Phoenix girl of the Ni family who stood beside him with an impeccable temperament.

He still remembered that a hundred years ago, this woman led the Jindan monks of the Ni family and the Xue family to hunt him down.

Today, he actually became "jealous" with his sister because of him.

Although Wei Tu estimated that Ni Shihuang's words were more to anger Ni Meixian, after hearing these words, he couldn't help but sigh at the wonders of the world.

"Make Senior Fu laugh."

Ni Shihuang knew that with Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness, the message she just transmitted to Ni Meixian could not be concealed from Wei Tu.

She looked apologetic and explained: "My sister has always been humble before she became Senior Fu's concubine. Now that she is in a high position... she can't help but feel a little confused about herself. This junior is just to warn her. ."

Of course, Wei Tu would not believe this.

He didn't think that there was any affection between sisters in the hearts of demonic women like Ni Shihuang.

However, he was not interested in participating in the secret fight between the Ni sisters. He nodded slightly and ignored the topic.

Seeing that Wei Tu didn't pursue the matter, Ni Shihuang was secretly relieved. She put a smile on her face again, took the initiative to lead the way, and took Wei Tu to visit Yunhe Mountain.

soon.

Familiar places such as the Worship Hall and Jinyue Cliff on Yunhe Mountain appeared one by one in front of Wei Tu's eyes and in his memories.

When he saw that hundreds of thousands of mortals of the Huang family were now bearing the surname of the Ni family, Wei Tu sighed secretly, understanding that the bloodline of the Huang family in Heshan was probably very few except for the Huang Chengfu brothers and sisters he sent out. .

However, what he didn't know was whether all the members of the Huang family were killed by Qi Chengchu, or whether they were slaughtered by the Ni family monks who "occupied the magpie's nest".

"It has nothing to do with me." Wei Tu looked indifferent and had no idea of ​​revenge for the Huang family.

In the final analysis, he was "kicked out" of Yunheshan by the Huang family of Heshan, and he had long since severed all ties with them.

"However, I wonder where Huang Juzhi is now?" Wei Tu suddenly thought of this person.

He remembered that more than a hundred years ago, when he stayed in Jingguo, he met Huang Juzhi, the second ancestor of the Huang family who was invited by Gong Shulan.

At that time, Huang Juzhi made it clear that he wanted to avenge the Huang family and kill the murderer of the Huang family.

Now, more than a hundred years later, it is not clear whether Huang Juzhi took revenge on Qi Chengchu, but as a monk of the Tiannv Sect, it is a bit puzzling that he sat back and watched Yunhe Mountain being occupied by the Ni family.

"Could it be..."

Wei Tu thought of a certain possibility. He narrowed his eyes slightly, silently recited "Zhitiandu", and used his spiritual consciousness to sense the surrounding area of ​​Yunhe Mountain.

After a while, Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness passed through various restrictions and saw a middle-aged monk tied to a wooden stake in a dark prison in Yunhe Mountain. He was as thin as wood and unkempt.

"It's Huang Juzhi!" Wei Tu took a closer look at the appearance of the middle-aged monk and judged.

As a former worshiper of the Huang family, he is no stranger to Huang Juzhi, the second ancestor of the Huang family.

"Strange! Why didn't the Ni family kill Huang Juzhi and set up a special secret cell to imprison this person?"

Wei Tu frowned slightly.

He had just borrowed the secret technique of perception "Zhitiandu" to sense the surrounding area. His original purpose was to see if he could find some magic materials and magic weapons made from Huang Ju's bones.

Instead of looking for a living person.

After all, in his opinion, if the Ni family took action against him, there was no need to leave him alive.

On the contrary, now the Ni family has left Huang Juzhi alive, which proves that the Ni family has everything they want from him!

Otherwise, the Ni family, which belongs to the Demonic Way, would not deliberately leave Huang Juzhi as a scourge.

"So, what do the Ni family want from Huang Juzhi?"

Thinking of this, Wei Tu smiled slightly and immediately became interested in this matter.

He didn't mind getting another small gain in the Ni family in Heshan.

…     Half a day later.

The tour to Yunhe Mountain ends.

Ni Shihuang personally led the way and took Wei Tu to the Keqing Cave in Yunhe Mountain to stay temporarily.

"If there is an order, Senior Fu can directly send the talisman letter to the junior and ancestor..."

"If this junior receives it, he will definitely rush there as soon as possible to serve Senior Fu."

Ni Shihuang hesitated for a moment, then paused and said.

Today, in the palace, although she suppressed Ni Meixian once because of her closeness to Wei Tu, in fact, in her heart, she did not want to commit herself to Wei Tu and work with Ni Meixian.

Therefore, she felt a certain amount of resistance in her heart when she said this at this moment.

However, due to Wei Tu's Nascent Soul strength, she had to show her indifference, which caused Wei Tu's displeasure and ruined the important matter of expanding the Ni family's network.

"As long as you are willing, you don't have to do everything yourself."

Wei Tu on the side also noticed Ni Shihuang's deliberate alienation. He smiled calmly and replied.

At this time, he also wished that Ni Shihuang would stay away from him and not disturb him - so that he could easily enter the secret cell and get this "unexpected gain" from Huang Juzhi.

After all, he had no means to deceive Ni Shihuang, a great sect of golden elixirs, just like he deceived Ni Meixian.

Hearing Wei Tu's indifferent response, Ni Shihuang suddenly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

What she fears most is that Wei Tu covets her beauty and refuses to let her go easily.

Now, Wei Tu was considerate and did not make things too difficult for her, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Junior, take your leave."

After staying for a short while, Ni Shihuang said goodbye at the right time and left from Keqing Cave.

However, as soon as he walked out of Keqing's cave, Ni Shihuang suddenly felt a sense of loss.

After all, the difficulty of breaking through the Nascent Soul Realm by yourself is greatly different from that of having a Nascent Soul Taoist companion to support you.

The latter was enough to save her hundreds of years of detours.

"Furthermore, Senior Fu is different from other Nascent Soul Ancestors of the Demonic Path. He has a gentler personality."

Ni Shihuang sighed with regret in his heart.

However, now that her words have been spoken out, she will not repent easily. Moreover, working with Ni Meixian would also make her feel like she was belittling herself.

"That's it, that's all."

"Only by myself, I might not be able to find a broad path." Ni Shihuang bit his lip, reestablished his Taoist heart, and flew away resolutely.

……

After Ni Shihuang left.

Wei Tu did not hesitate too much. Seeing that the time had come, he flicked his sleeves and escaped towards the secret prison where the Ni family imprisoned Huang Juzhi.

On the way from Keqing Cave to the Dark Prison, there were many warning restrictions and formations, but these restrictions and formations were naturally not worth mentioning in front of Wei Tu, the ancestor of Nascent Soul. He could easily get rid of them by turning around. Passed by.

It’s not enough to make a cup of tea.

Wei Tu came outside the secret prison.

"Who is you?"

"What are you doing here?"

Huang Juzhi, who was tied to a wooden stake, was stunned for a while when he saw Wei Tu suddenly appearing in front of him, and he was still a stranger. Then he asked.

"It's hard for Fu to tell you about my identity now. However, what Fu can say is that the Ni family on the ground and I are not allies."

"This time I came to see fellow Taoist because I accidentally discovered this secret prison and the existence of fellow Taoist while snooping with my spiritual sense during the day."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

At this moment, he threw out Wei Tu's identity. Although it was possible to gain Huang Juzhi's trust,... once this identity was revealed from his mouth, there was a risk of it being leaked.

With his Nascent Soul realm, he could avoid the restrictions near the dark prison and the prying eyes of his consciousness from formations, but Huang Juzhi could not.

Moreover, if he does not reveal his identity now, even if the Ni family of Heshan knows that he has come to the secret prison and interrogates Huang Juzhi, they will not be too dissatisfied with him.

After all, the first level of officialdom is overwhelming.

The Lord of Nascent Soul cannot be provoked by the Golden Core cultivator at all.

However, if your identity is exposed...

If the Ni family knew that he was Wei Tu, it would be different.

Maybe the Ni family will pretend not to know, but the greater possibility is to report it to the Heavenly Lady Sect and hunt him down.

By then, Wei Tu will be ready to massacre his entire clan or escape from Zheng in embarrassment.

"Not an alliance?" Huang Juzhi sneered and did not believe Wei Tu's words.

"This time, Fu came here because he wanted to know the reason why the Ni family imprisoned fellow Taoist. After all, if the fellow Taoist had not possessed what the Ni family wanted, it would have been obviously better for the Ni family to have killed the fellow Taoist."

"And what the Ni family wants is not an important secret to fellow Taoists."

"At this moment, telling Fu Mou is not a big deal."

Wei Tu learns with emotion and moves with reason.

In fact, he has another way, which is to directly capture Huang Juzhi and escape from Yunhe Mountain, and then use the soul-searching technique on Huang Juzhi.

It's just that this matter is unavoidable against morality. After all, he and Huang Juzhi have no grievances, and killing people for treasure will inevitably break his own moral bottom line.

Secondly, the secret soul-searching technique is not a precious thing. Even the Ni family in Heshan has not succeeded in searching Huang Ju's soul. It may be difficult for him to get what he really wants when searching for Huang Ju's soul.

Hearing this, Huang Juzhi's heart moved. After all, if Wei Tu was really a monk of the Ni family, it would be unnecessary to ask him about this matter.

"Since you want to hear it, Huang will tell you." Huang Juzhi's eyes flashed slightly and he agreed.

"Fellow Taoist, please speak. Fu is all ears."

Wei Tu nodded.

Shaoqing, following Huang Juzhi's narration, Wei Tu quickly understood what kind of treasure the Heshan Ni family wanted to get from Huang Juzhi.

This treasure is not some rare elixir or a powerful magic weapon for fighting, but a secret treasure called "Nine Yuan Flying Star Bead".

This treasure is a secret treasure that was accidentally obtained by the first generation ancestor of the Huang family. After being arranged in a special formation, this treasure can be used to determine the special secret realm that exists in a different space.

Previously, the Yunze secret realm held by the Huang family in Heshan was found by the first generation ancestor of the Huang family who used the "Nine Yuan Flying Star Bead" to determine the spatial coordinates.

"Could it be that...the Ni family knows the traces of the other three secret medicine gardens?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

More than two hundred years ago, when he met Tao Jie's brother and sister, Tao Jie asked for his help under the guise that he had found one of the four secret medicine gardens of the Nanhua sect.

Although what Tao Jie said was false, what he said about the four secret medicine gardens was true.

In addition to the Yunze secret realm, the Nanhua sect, an ancient sect, also has three other secret realm medicine gardens, which exist in different dimensions and have not been discovered by the monks.

Now, the Ni family in Heshan wants to seize the secret treasure "Nine-Yuan Flying Star Bead" from Huang Juzhi. There is a high probability that it is for the other three secret medicine gardens.

"It's just that under the stone palace of Yunze Secret Realm, the demonic power has been suppressed. I'm afraid there are similar things in the other three secret realm medicine gardens..."

Wei Tu squinted his eyes, and suddenly felt that this matter was a bit hot. After all, the black finger bones were already so difficult to deal with. If similar things in other secret medicine gardens were to revive, it would probably be beyond the ability of ordinary monks to deal with.

If he was given a choice, he would never dare to step into the Yunze secret realm again.

"It's no wonder that after the weapon spirit of Old Man Chongming escaped from the Heaven-Mending Bowl, he never dared to return to the Yunze Secret Realm and take away his own body."

Thinking about this, Wei Tu finally figured out something that he had not figured out two hundred years ago.

Without it, Old Man Chongming would not be afraid of the powerful demon under the stone palace. He would not dare to get close to him, and would only dare to escape in the body of a weapon spirit.

"If you cooperate with Mr. Fu, when the time is right, Mr. Fu can let you live. However, you have to hand over the Nine Yuan Flying Star Bead."

After saying these words to Huang Juzhi, Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and robe, and flew away from the secret prison in an instant.

"What? A way out?"

Hearing this, Huang Juzhi suddenly had a look of surprise on his face. However, before he could ask questions, he saw that Wei Tu had disappeared.

……

After leaving the secret prison.

Wei Tu did not return to Keqing's cave where he was temporarily staying. He escaped from the light, walked to the door of Ni Shihuang's cave, and knocked on the door with his magic power.

"Senior Fu, why..." Ni Shihuang opened the door of the cave and was startled when he saw Wei Tu's face.

She remembered that when she and Wei Tu parted ways an hour ago, Wei Tu had clearly promised not to disturb her.

"Duplicity!" Ni Shihuang frowned, thinking about what method he should use to politely reject Wei Tu's good intentions and keep a certain distance from him.

Unexpectedly, before Ni Shihuang could speak, Wei Tu spoke first and said shocking words that shocked Ni Shihuang.

"What? Nine Yuan Flying Star Bead?"

"Senior Fu...you went to the secret prison?"

Ni Shihuang's voice trembled and he spoke intermittently.

She is not afraid that the matter of imprisoning Huang Juzhi will be exposed to the eyes of the world. After all, it is common for demons to kill people. It is not a big deal for the Ni family to imprison a monk... But the Nine Yuan Flying Star Bead is different. It is related to the other three major members of the Nanhua Sect. Secret Medicine Garden.

Once this matter is known, the Ni family in Heshan will be coveted by fellow monks. A little carelessness can lead to the downfall of the whole family.
