I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 421: Arrogant at first and respectful at the end, Situ is decisive (5k2, please subscribe)

The Infant Condensation Ceremony was held for three days in total.

From Dijian Mountain to Ying Dingbu, it would take at least seven days with the fastest escape speed of True Lord Jin Dan.

This time will undoubtedly be delayed.

Therefore, when they decided to rush to the banquet, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi never thought of asking Ye Shouyi and others to come on their behalf. Instead, like Master Hongjing, Patriarch Luo and others, they used Yuan The King of Infants attended the banquet in person.

One day later.

Mo Laogui and Yutongzi personally carried the gifts from Dijian Mountain and hurried to the Divine Master's Mansion where Wei Tu was located.

"Mo Changqing of Dijian Mountain, He Wei Shenshi succeeded in condensing the infant and proved to be the master of the Nascent Soul. I will give you two third-level middle-grade magic swords and one third-order high-grade magic sword."

"The Jade Boy of Dijian Mountain, to congratulate Divine Master Wei for his success in condensing the infant and proving the status of the Nascent Soul, he will give you a third-level alchemy furnace and ten foundation-building sword concubines."

Soon, the sound of singing began.

Although the cultivators knew the reason, they would not expose it to their faces and just laughed a few times.

Hearing this sound, all the Yuanying ancestors and Jindan dignitaries who were having a banquet in the palace couldn't help but be startled, and looked at each other for a few breaths.

However, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi noticed that many fellow monks were looking at Wei Tu on the main seat, as if they were waiting for Wei Tu to speak.

Therefore, no matter whether Mo Laogui and Mo Laogui are really at odds with each other at this time, as long as this "gap" can be resolved smoothly, it will be a good thing for him.

"However, even so, it is a good thing that Mo Laogui and Yutongzi are visiting now... There is no need to completely push me to the opposite side of Dijian Mountain."

"The monks present are all ancestors of the same sect. They are not just ordinary people. For this person to be so valued, it seems that the battle two days ago was definitely not simple."

However, after this experience, Cao Mi no longer dared to have extravagant hopes.

"Unexpectedly, the people below made a mistake and mistakenly thought that Mo and Junior Brother Yutong were dissatisfied with Divine Master Wei and failed to report the matter as scheduled..."

He stood up and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Mo and Taoist Yutong can come to attend Wei Mou's Infant Condensation Ceremony. Wei Mou is grateful but it's too late, how can he blame me?"

After Mo Laogui bowed his hands to Wei Tu and two other monks from the same realm, he casually lied and found excuses to cover up Dijianshan's late arrival.

At this moment, Jin Dan, who was present at the scene, suddenly had this idea in his mind.

At this time, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi also rushed to Shanshan from outside and landed in the inner hall.

Unlike the two elderly Nascent Souls, Dulong and Hedi, he attained enlightenment six hundred years ago. He is considered a Mesozoic among the Nascent Souls and has a long lifespan. Therefore, he could not help but feel a little more close to Wei Tu, the new Nascent Soul, instead of being polite and polite like Du Long and He Di.

During this period, they also learned about the conflict between Wei Tu and Di Jian Shan from the grapevine.

Wei Tu laughed and replied.

When Mo Laogui and Yutongzi saw this, their pupils shrank slightly and they thought to themselves.

After Mo Laogui and Yutongzi from Dijian Mountain arrived, it didn't take long for the three-day Infant Condensation Ceremony in the Divine Master's Mansion to come to an end.

"Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul are also different."

After all, after the breakthrough, as a weak Nascent Soul, she would probably treat Wei Tu with "respect" like Mo Laogui and others.

"Fortunately, Junior Brother Yutong was very observant and discovered this clue. He rushed over in time."

"After Mo Laogui and I learned about Fellow Daoist Wei's ability to defeat the fake infant monk, they came to congratulate him in person."

"It makes Master Wei and all my colleagues laugh. This time, Mo was supposed to attend Master Wei's Infant Condensation Ceremony on time two days ago."

Wait for a break.

Wait for the message transmission between Wei Tu and Divine Master Donglai to be completed.

"On the first day of the ceremony, although the two veterans, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi, have not arrived yet, the person who asked for information on their behalf is probably already there."

……

In the final analysis, although the matter of being arrogant at the front and respectful at the back seems a bit powerful, it is better than it. Some people are uneasy and well-intentioned towards him.

As a person who is expected to have a Nascent Soul, although she is currently trying to please Wei Tu and Wei Xiuwen, in her heart, she still wants to recover the situation after proving the Nascent Soul.

Especially Cao Mi, the master of Ningyue Palace.

After all, Dijianshan's absence this time has become big news in this Infant Condensation Ceremony.

After saying this, Wei Tu gave another order: "Yan'er, Xiuwen, set up another table for fellow Taoist Mo and fellow Taoist Yutong."

The words fell.

That's why at this moment, he spoke more openly on this matter.

Although he has no fear of Dijianshan, if they become complete enemies just because of this trivial matter like Yao Chongshan and his wife, it will inevitably be a great disadvantage to him.

In fact, these words were also what he felt in his heart.

There is nothing better than being arrogant at first and respectful at the end!

In addition, you must know that Mo Laogui and Yutongzi are also famous for their eccentric temperaments among the Nascent Soul monks in Kang State.

The monks present who had been silent for a long time finally regained their smiles and greeted two old friends, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi.

Divine Master Donglai sneered and secretly transmitted a message to Wei Tu on the main seat.

Wei Tu, who was sitting in the main seat, finally spoke.

Nowadays, Mo Laogui and Yutongzi suddenly arrived at the end of the banquet and gave such a heavy gift, which was too unexpected.

"Good!" Divine Master Donglai nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation on his face.

After the party is over.

Representatives of all forces dispersed one after another.

However, because of Wei Tu's identity as alchemist, some monks chose to stay and prepared to cooperate with Wei Tu in alchemy.

In response, Wei Tu declined.

He didn't want to waste the good time he had after breaking through the Nascent Soul on the trivial matter of earning spiritual stones.

After all, given his level, except for the best spiritual stones, all other spiritual stones are useless to him.

There are not many high-level spiritual objects such as top-quality spiritual stones among the major forces, and they obviously will not give these precious resources to him easily.

Of course, in addition to these monks who deliberately stayed, Wei Tu also personally came forward to retain some of his former "connections" and let these people postpone their departure.

Among these connections...

Including Cao Mi, Situ You and others.

Seeing this scene, Cao Mi, Situ You and others were naturally flattered. While secretly thinking that Wei Tu would not forget his roots, he naturally agreed happily.

For these people, Wei Tu did not hold a separate banquet to receive them at the same time, but chose a suitable time to meet in batches.

The first person Wei Tu met was Situ You.

Divine Master's Mansion, inside the main hall.

Wei Tu glanced at Situ You in the hall and saw that he had listened to his instructions and did not bring his Taoist companion Tian Qiuyun with him. He nodded secretly, knowing that he could still be saved.

"Brother Situ, Wei is looking for you this time. In addition to thanking you for telling me the information about Yao Chongshan and his wife two years ago... I also want to take this opportunity to give you something."

Wei Tu paused and said.

"Something?" Situ You was startled when he heard this, wondering what Wei Tu was trying to sell.

"Please also ask Divine Master Wei...Brother Wei to make it clear."

Situ You cupped his fists and saluted with respect.

He didn't remember that he had any spiritual agreement with Wei Tu, so at this moment, he was a little confused about what Wei Tu said.

"It's Wei Hua's golden elixir."

Wei Tu shook his head and smiled, explaining his confusion.

While speaking, he also turned his palm and took out the elixir bottle that sealed Wei Hua's soul and golden elixir.

"It turns out to be this thing."

Hearing this, Situ You suddenly realized.

After thanking him, he took the elixir bottle from Wei Tu.

During the process, there was no look of doubt or surprise on Situ You's face.

Because in Situ You's mind, it was just a matter of convenience for Wei Tu, as the ancestor of Yuanying, to take time out to solve Wei Hua's future troubles.

"If Brother Situ is not busy, you can search Wei Hua's soul."

Wei Tu reminded him suggestively.

Hearing this, Situ You felt confused, but he didn't think much about it. After nodding, he followed Wei Tu's words and started searching for Wei Hua's soul.

It is not easy for monks of the same level to search for souls.

Half an hour later, Situ You reluctantly invaded Wei Hua's soul with his spiritual consciousness and searched for the memories deep in his soul.

At the beginning, Situ You's face looked normal.

But after watching it for a while, his expression became a little uncertain.

"Tian Qiuyun, I will kill you..."

Situ You's face was ashen, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

He never expected that Qingmei, whom he regarded as a treasure, would behave like this in private.

And he was played hard by him.

"Thank you, Brother Wei, for informing me."

After being frightened and angry, Situ You regained his composure, bowed deeply to Wei Tu, and said thank you.

After all, if it weren't for Wei Tu this time, he would have been kept in the dark by Tian Qiuyun for who knows how many years.

"Now that Brother Situ knows the truth, Wei Hua's soul is useless."

Wei Tu nodded slightly, waved his sleeves and robe, and used his magic power to destroy Wei Hua's soul and golden elixir.

This time, in the soul of Wei Hua that he handed over to Situ You, deep in its soul, the memory of the "Life-Extending Star Lantern" had been erased by him in advance.

However, if Wei Hua's soul falls into the hands of other Nascent Soul Ancestors, there is still a certain possibility that his memories erased by him can be restored. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Wei Tu will certainly not leave Wei Hua's soul as a future problem.

He didn't want to completely reveal his trump card to fellow monks.

"I wonder what Brother Situ plans to do to Tian Qiuyun in the future?"

Wei Tu asked in a deep voice, asking for Situ You's specific plan.

He was worried that after Situ You was filled with anger, he would be too rough with Tian Qiuyun. Not only would he be charged with killing his wife, but it would also implicate him and reveal that he had collaborated with him to murder Wei Hua.

Unlike the murder of Yao Chongshan and his wife, he did not have much control over Wei Hua.

After all, Wei Hua openly had no grudges against him, but he was still in Gujian Mountain, helping him with his affairs and buying Su Bing'er's freedom.

Therefore, once it is revealed that he and Situ You teamed up to murder Wei Hua, even though it will not pose any threat to his life or cause big trouble... But after this battle, his reputation will inevitably be tarnished.

"This matter..."

Situ You was speechless and didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, after knowing Tian Qiuyun's true temperament, he didn't have much nostalgia for Tian Qiuyun. If he could kill Tian Qiuyun, he would certainly not deliberately hold back.

However, unlike Wei Hua, who was born in a poor family, Tian Qiuyun was once the elder's legitimate daughter, and had close ties with many elders in Gujian Mountain...

When Tian Qiuyun dies, not only will these fellow elders hold him accountable, but the connections they gave him when he married Tian Qiuyun will also disappear.

By then, he will have "no talent"!

Seeing Situ You's delay in answering, Wei Tu immediately showed a look of disappointment on his face. He waved his hand and was about to ask Situ You to leave.

At this time, Situ You's hesitant words, in his opinion, undoubtedly meant that his love for Tian Qiuyun was still there, and it was impossible for him to make up his mind to cut off this evil fate.

As Lao Jianghu, who was decisive in killing, he naturally looked down upon Situ You's indecisive move. Naturally, I don’t want to have close friendship with him anymore.

But at this moment, Situ You, who had been talking for a long time, finally spoke.

What he said made Wei Tu stop waving his hands to chase people away.

"The matter of killing Tian Qiuyun should not be rushed. If Tian Qiuyun dies, Yudi's situation in Gujian Mountain will inevitably be in danger."

"So, Yudi's intention is to temporarily save Tian Qiuyun's life. After Yudi ascends to the position of sword master, he will be killed!"

Situ You said his plan in a cold voice.

In a word.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

After calming down, he discovered that compared to the humiliation Tian Qiuyun had brought to him, what he cared more about now was the position of the sword master of Gujian Mountain.

And this choice is not not to not retaliate against Tian Qiuyun, but to maximize one's own interests before taking revenge.

"Brother Situ has thought carefully."

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, what Situ You said seemed a little more scheming, but it was also caused by being bullied by Tian Qiuyun, and it was excusable.

Moreover, no matter how scheming Situ You is, with his strength, it is difficult to threaten him.

On the contrary, once he becomes a sword master, perhaps his status in Gujian Mountain will also be of some use to him, the Yuan Ying of the outer sect.

In other words, maximizing Situ You's interests is also maximizing his interests.

This choice has corresponding benefits for both of them.

……

After Situ You left.

Wei Tu met Cao Mi again.

This time, Wei Tu's words were very concise. He got to the point directly and put forward his demands.

"True spirit flesh and blood..."

Hearing this, Cao Mi frowned slightly but did not reply for a long time.

"But are there corresponding difficulties?"

Wei Tu was not in a hurry and asked warmly.

"Indeed!"

Cao Mi replied without thinking.

"Although I have the right to use the true spirit flesh and blood of Yueying Xuefeng, the two boxes of true spirit flesh and blood given to Fellow Daoist Wei back then are already my maximum authority."

"If you want to get it again, you have to ask the ancestor."

Cao Mi added.

"So that's it."

Hearing this answer, Wei Tu was not disappointed.

After all, he already had the "Red Blood Stone" and "Millennium Blood Ginseng" presented by Master Dulong and Master Donglai this time. These two treasures are enough to push his body training to the peak of the third level.

At this time, he came to Cao Mi to buy the flesh and blood of the real soul, but he was just prepared.

"Palace Master Cao, decades ago, Wei borrowed a Mortal Transformation Pill from you."

"Now is the time to give back."

Then, Wei Tu turned his palm, took out a blue pill bottle, and handed it over with his magic power.

The Mortal Transformation Pill was a rare thing for him in the Golden Pill realm. Because his status is not enough to mobilize this precious resource within the Ying Ding Department.

But everything changed after he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Without much effort, Wei Tu "borrowed" a Mortal Transformation Pill from the Ying Ding Tribe's clan treasury.

Therefore, after seeing Cao Mi attending his Infant Condensation Ceremony, Wei Tu thought of returning the elixir to Cao Mi to settle the debt.

"Fellow Daoist Wei is truly a trustworthy person!"

Seeing this, Cao Mi bowed slightly and complimented Wei Tu respectfully.

After speaking, Cao Mi also kept his promise and took out the pledge that Wei Tu had given her back then - the Fuxin Monument.

After bartering, a look of disappointment appeared on Cao Mi's face.

But soon, Cao Mi regained his composure and started the next topic.

"Please also ask fellow Taoist Wei to forgive me for being presumptuous."

"I would like to ask you about Fellow Daoist Wei's current true alchemy attainments."

Cao Mi said seriously.

"Achievements in Alchemy?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding the purpose of Cao Mi's inquiry.

However, given his current state, revealing his true alchemy attainments is not a big deal.

"Wei is now a third-level high-grade alchemist."

He answered truthfully.

After refining the Purple Candle Pill, his alchemy attainments naturally fell into the third-level high-grade level.

"Third-level high-grade alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Mi suddenly became happy.

"I am now 612 years old, and I still have about two hundred years to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. And with Fellow Daoist Wei's alchemy attainments, I can be promoted to the quasi-fourth level in two hundred years. Alchemist."

"At that time, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wei to help me refine the Infant Transformation Pill."

Cao Mi said quickly.

It is not that there are no third-level high-grade alchemists in Ningyue Palace, but the necessary conditions for refining the Infant Transformation Pill—quasi-fourth-level alchemy masters—can only be achieved by Yuanying realm monks.

And this factor is also the reason why when Wei Tu holds the Infant Condensation Ceremony, all the major forces will rush to present gifts to Wei Tu.

Without it, it would be too rare for a third-level high-grade alchemist to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Ninety-nine percent of third-level high-level alchemy masters have already reached the end of their lives by the time they reach this level of alchemy. There is no hope of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

"can!"

"As long as Palace Master Cao is willing to provide spiritual materials, after Wei is promoted to a quasi-fourth-level alchemy master, of course he is willing to try this."

Wei Tu agreed immediately and did not refuse the matter.

The higher the level of the elixir, the fewer opportunities the alchemist has to try it out. Refining the Infant Transformation Pill can also improve his alchemy attainments, which is a win-win for him and Cao Mi. ,

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Upon hearing this, Cao Mi bowed deeply, thanked him and left.

……

In the Master's Mansion, Wei Tu glanced at Cao Mi's leaving figure. He walked thoughtfully to another side hall in the manor.

In this side hall, it was not the guest whom Wei Tu had retained, but Sun Chixin, who had escaped outside Hujiexian City three days ago and was rescued by him.

"Sun has met Ancestor Wei."

Seeing Wei Tu's arrival, Sun Chixin, who was recovering from his injuries, immediately stood up and bowed to Wei Tu with a very respectful attitude.

However, Wei Tu did not appreciate this. He looked at Sun Chixin with an indifferent expression and said in a solemn voice: "Fellow Daoist Sun, Wei doesn't want to say more. After all, you came here to respond to the tripod's request for help. I must have thought about how to explain it."

"Just say it!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Tu folded his arms and waited quietly for Sun Chixin to speak.

"Yes, Ancestor Wei!" After hearing this, Sun Chixin did not hesitate. He nodded with a wry smile and started talking about everything that had happened in the past few decades after he and Wei Tu separated.
