I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 429: Promise made back then, a request (5k, please subscribe)

Back then, when they were parting ways in the feudal state of Xiao, Wei Tu gave Yan Xiaolan two choices.

One, maintain the status of concubine and wait for him in the wilderness for hundreds of years.

Second, remove the spiritual poison from the body and become a free body again, no longer bound by him.

At that time, Yan Xiaolan was very bold and believed in herself more than Wei Tu himself. She chose the most gambling option and was willing to follow him to the death.

Therefore, now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and has become famous, he will not be a person who violates the contract. He only gave Yan Xiaolan a small sum of money and sent her away easily.

Wei Tu knew clearly that Yan Xiaolan had no sincerity towards him. She was willing to become his concubine because she was concerned about the fame and fortune that this status would bring.

However, precisely because of this, he accepted Yan Xiaolan as his concubine without any psychological burden.

After all, a concubine is different from a wife.

He does not need to bear too much responsibility for his concubine.

After a while.

Hearing the broken wooden chair, Yan Xiaolan woke up suddenly and quickly looked at Wei Tu with pleading eyes.

Just like what happened with Qi Feng.

As Yan Xiaolan was Wei Tu's concubine, it was "reasonable" for her to come to Yan's prison cell and take her away.

Although emotionally, Yan Zhenping hoped that the visitor was Wei Tu. After all, as Yan Xiaolan's biological father, he did not want to see Yan Xiaolan being imprisoned by the family... but reason told him that the possibility of the visitor being Wei Tu was not high.

Yan Xiaolan was like a koala, hanging on Wei Tu who was sitting on the Taishi chair. His eyes were blurred, and a pair of bright arms hooked around Wei Tu's neck. At the same time, he tapped his apricot lips lightly, leaving a faint lip mark on Wei Tu's face.

Finally, with a "click" sound, it completely scattered and became a pile of sawdust on the ground.

In the cell, Mi Mi's voice also came from the cell.

"Impossible!" Yan Zhenping, the clan leader, shook his head and said, "My Yan family is located within the Lou Gao Sect. Although Cui Alchemy Master is not low in cultivation, he wants to bypass the numerous formations and restrictions and quietly enter the prison. Xiaolan’s secret room is simply impossible!”

"Xiaolan is only in the foundation-building realm. As far as we know, the only high-level foreign monk related to her is Master Cui..."

However, due to the fact that the person who took action came and went without a trace, the elders of the Yan family did not dare to act rashly at this moment, for fear of offending a powerful enemy.

It is different from the joy in the cell.

Lean less.

It is unrealistic to always be pure-hearted and have few desires.

There is no other reason.

"Could it be that Alchemist Cui is back?" During the banquet, an elder from the Yan family broke the silence.

In other words, to put it more indifferently, he and Yan Xiaolan each got what they wanted.

Less than a quarter of an hour ago, they discovered that the formation restriction that imprisoned Yan Xiaolan had failed.

"Okay." Naturally, Wei Tu would not resist this request. He released his big hand around Yan Xiaolan's waist and removed it from his body.

And this is due to Wei Tu's control strength. With his body training skills, if he really explodes with all his strength, Yan Xiaolan in his arms will be broken into a puddle of flesh with a gentle hug.

Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid they were, they probably guessed that something unexpected happened on Yan Xiaolan's side.

A blood plum appeared on the white handkerchief.

"If this person is not Alchemist Cui, who can he be?" Elder Yan, who had just spoken, frowned and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone.

……

Moreover, the "spectroscopic projection array" arranged in his cell was also blurry at this time and could not be seen clearly.

If you say a thousand words and ten thousand things, your realm will never be false.

At this moment, all the elders of the Yan family in the Yan family affairs hall had sad expressions on their faces.

After all, he is not an ascetic saint.

……

"Wait a minute, go to bed."

As an old man who is well versed in this matter, Wei Tu naturally knew what Yan Xiaolan meant by this move. He didn't waste any time, walked onto the bed, and continued to be affectionate with Yan Xiaolan.

Now, nearly a hundred years later, Wei Tu's cultivation is definitely more advanced than before.

Decades ago, although the cultivators of the Yan family did not see the scene of Wei Tu and Yan Xiaolan escaping, they also guessed based on the rumors afterwards that Wei Tu's true state at that time was "Late Golden Core".

creak!creak!

Before it was time for tea, the sandalwood chair supporting the two of them was shaken to the point of falling apart.

Late stage of Golden Elixir? He simply did not dare to act arrogantly among the quasi-Nascent Soul forces of Lou Gaozong, and it was even less possible for him to sneak into Lou Gaozong and secretly sneak into their Yan Family.

There are still some possibilities.

The clothes of the two people in the cell were scattered.

"I hope Ancestor Wei will take pity on you." Yan Xiaolan bit her red lips and said lovingly.

After landing, Yan Xiaolan raised her head and glanced at Wei Tu cautiously. Then she thought for a moment, patted the storage bag, took out a white square handkerchief, spread it on the bed, and then lay down on it.

After practicing hard for so many years, Wei Tu certainly didn't mind having a young and beautiful concubine to warm his bed as long as it didn't affect his own practice.

If it is a major repair of the golden elixir...

In his view, Yan Zhenping's objection to this matter was nothing more than an attempt to shirk responsibility and distance himself from his involvement.

After all, when Wei Tuneng ran away after "defrauding the Yan family for money and sex", Yan Zhenping was unshirkable in his oversight.

Plus today’s guilt…

Yan Zhenping, the clan leader, has come to an end.

"If you are a Jindan cultivator who is good at formations, it is not impossible to sneak into our Yan family."

At this time, another Yan family elder added.

In response to this question, Yan Zhenping did not answer directly. He frowned, his tone became a little more indifferent, and said solemnly: "This matter will not be discussed for the time being. We will discuss everything after the ancestor comes back!"

Yan Zhenping understood his own advantages.

In the clan, his prestige is not enough to become the head of the Yan clan. The reason why he can become the clan leader is inseparable from the fact that he is the nephew of Yan Zezhi, the golden elixir master.

Therefore, instead of quarreling, it is better to move out his uncle Yan Zezhi and surrender to him.

Sure enough, after Yan Zhenping said these words, all the cultivators of the Yan family present immediately remained silent, and there were no more questions.

Yan Zezhi does not live in the Yan family land. Like other powerful elders of Lou Gaozong, his cave is located in the quasi-fourth-level spiritual land in the back mountain of Lou Gaozong.

Therefore, there was inevitably a certain lag when the Yan family cultivators conveyed news to their ancestor, Yan Zezhi.

About half a day passed.

Yan Zezhi then set up his escape light and rushed from the back mountain of Lou Gaozong to the Yan family's land, but he arrived late.

Later, under the leadership of Yan Zhenping and other cultivators of the Yan family, Yan Zezhi came to the important place of the Yan family where Yan Xiaolan was imprisoned.

"This magic power..." When Yan Zezhi walked to the door of the cell and saw the magic power that blocked the view of the cell, his pupils suddenly shrank and his face turned a little pale.

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

The Pei Ran's magic power in front of him was almost the same as the Nascent Soul magic power displayed by a Nascent Soul Ancestor that he had the honor to receive back then.

Obviously, there is a 99% chance that the monk who enters the cell is a Nascent Soul Ancestor!

"You guys really deserve to die..."

Thinking of this, Yan Zezhi's face instantly turned pale, and he looked at the several direct elders of the Yan family behind him with some hatred.

If it weren't for these ignorant people, how could he have "accidentally entered this place" today and then collided with the Nascent Soul Ancestor who had sneaked into the Yan family's important place.

At this time, if he hadn't been concerned about his face, he would have wanted to curse the eighteen generations of Yan Zhenping's ancestors.

After all, if the contact with this Yuan Ying Ancestor is not pleasant later, his majestic Jin Dan Zhenjun will undoubtedly fail here.

"Ancestor, what happened?"

Yan Zhenping, who is good at observing words and expressions, was immediately shocked when he saw such an expression on Yan Zezhi's face and asked quickly.

However, at this moment, Yan Zezhi had no time to answer Yan Zhenping's doubts. In this short moment, he changed his face, took a step forward, and bowed in the direction of the cell.

"My ancestors are on top, the younger generation and the descendants of the family are too blind to see the mountains. If there is any conflict, please forgive me, ancestors, and don't blame too much..."

Yan Zezhi said in a humble tone.

"Ancestor?"

Hearing this, the cultivators of the Yan family were confused at first and looked at each other in confusion for a while, but soon, the cultivators of the Yan family who responded quickly realized the meaning of the "ancestor" in Yan Zezhi's mouth.

He is the true Yuan Ying ancestor, not the "fake ancestor" they usually call him in the family.

"Ancestor Nascent Soul?"

In an instant, several monks from the Yan family who were not firm in their thoughts were paralyzed with fear.

After all, what kind of realm is the Yuanying Patriarch? There is no one in the entire Lou Gao Sect. Now, several of their juniors had almost collided with the Nascent Soul Ancestor. The consequences were simply not something they could bear.

One finger is enough to obliterate them!

If the Nascent Soul Ancestor has a bad temper, I am afraid that none of the cultivators present will be able to escape, and their souls will all return to hell.

"I just don't know."

"Why did this Yuan Ying ancestor go to Xiulan's place of confinement?"

The cultivators of the Yan family were confused and puzzled.

However, in the current situation, no one can answer their questions.

They could only imitate Yan Zezhi's example, show respect on their faces, and tremblingly apologize to the Nascent Soul Ancestor in the cell.

Even though they knew in their hearts that the person at fault this time was the Yuan Ying Ancestor, who had trespassed on the Yan family's important territory.

But strength is respected.

In front of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, they could only accept the mistake and admit themselves to be unlucky.

however--

What surprised the cultivators of the Yan family.

Facing their apology, the Yuan Ying Ancestor in the cell seemed not to hear it and did not respond for a long time.

Time passes slowly.

Half a day later.

That's when things took a turn for the better.

In the expectant eyes of the Yan family cultivators.

The thick fog covering the cell gradually dissipated, and a girl in a blue dress with a double-ringed bun, a radiant face, and widening eyebrows walked out.

"Xiulan?" As a biological father, Yan Zhenping recognized his daughter from the thick fog when Yan Xiaolan opened the cell door and revealed herself.

However, after seeing his daughter's awkward walking posture, Yan Zhenping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little at a loss.

He was hesitating on how to explain to "Alchemist Cui" in the future. After all, even though Alchemist Cui was not as powerful as the Yuanying Ancestor in the cell, he was not someone to be underestimated.

At least, it's not something he can offend.

Fortunately, as Yan Xiaolan spoke the next moment, his heart dropped again in his throat.

"I pass on the words of Patriarch Wei."

Yan Xiaolan first bowed slightly to the elders present, then glanced at the monks present with her apricot eyes, paused, and said calmly: "This time, the Yan family has no crime of disrespect. If it is said that it is disrespectful, it is Wei who trespassed on the noble's clan. , and used a small plan to defraud Xiaohan Mountain decades ago."

The words fell.

As long as the monks of the Yan family present are not stupid, they all understand that the "Ancestor Wei" mentioned by Yan Xiaolan is the "Alchemist Cui" who escaped from Xiaohan Mountain.

"Fortunately! I took care of the family relationship between father and daughter and didn't punish Xiulan too much. I just imprisoned her here to give an explanation to my clan and sect. Otherwise..."

At the same moment, Yan Zhenping felt relieved and couldn't help but secretly said "lucky".

He knew that no matter whether Wei Tu valued Yan Xiaolan as a concubine or not, once he treated Yan Xiaolan harshly, the punishment he casually handed down as the ancestor of Yuanying would be unbearable for him.

"Thank you, Patriarch Wei, for your magnanimity and not taking into account our faults."

Compared to Yan Zhenping, Yan Zezhi's attitude was more flattering. After Yan Xiaolan finished speaking, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Wei Tu. It was as if the Yan family monk had really done something wrong.

"Thank you, Patriarch Wei, for your magnanimity and not taking into account our faults."

The next moment, the cultivators of the Yan family also reacted and echoed Yan Zezhi's words.

"No need to be polite!"

At this time, Wei Tu had also tidied up his clothes in the cell. He fluttered his sleeves and robes, dispelling the concealing spell he had cast. He looked at the cultivators of the Yan family outside the cell and said indifferently. .

"So young?" Yan Zezhi raised his head, carefully looked at Wei Tu, and said in secret surprise.

Although he had known for a long time that Wei Tu's pseudonym "Cui Alchemist" was just a fake identity, and his appearance was most likely a disguise, but when he saw Wei Tu's original appearance for the first time, he couldn't help being surprised.

After all, most of the Yuanying ancestors in his memory were dressed as middle-aged or elderly people, and it was rare to see young people like Wei Tu.

——It is easy for Yuanying Ancestor to choose the appearance of which age group, but this does not require mana to maintain.

Ordinary beauty pills no longer have much effect on monks in this realm.

Therefore, except for monks who are particularly concerned about appearance, ordinary Yuanying ancestors will not go out of their way to maintain their appearance and keep them young.

And if Wei Tu cared about it, his appearance would not be as ordinary as it is now.

Obviously, Wei Tu's youthful appearance is in line with his real life span.

……

After a while.

After seeing that the cultivators of the Yan family had returned to calm, Wei Tu walked out of the cell and came to Yan Xiaolan.

"Wei doesn't want to say more."

"Back then, since Wei decided to take Xiulan as his concubine, it was impossible for him to break the contract. After today, Xiulan will be Wei's upright concubine."

"And your Yan family..." Wei Tu glanced at Yan Zezhi in front of him and said solemnly: "It was Wei who acted wrongly and deceived you once. Wei can agree and grant your Yan family's request. It's settled. This grudge.”

Decades ago, Emperor Gaozong of the Yan family took him in as a sect elder and gave Yan Xiaolan to him as a concubine. Although the intention was to seize his inheritance after his death,... in the final analysis, people No one is perfect, and given the state he was in at that time, it was normal for the Yan family to be tempted.

Moreover, the Yan family's idea is also reasonable.

In other words, he and the Yan family maintained a tacit understanding and then finalized this posthumous agreement.

——The Yan family served him until his death, and he left his inheritance to the Yan family.

As for whether the Yan family had the intention to kill people and seize the treasure during the process, Wei Tu didn't know, but facing a righteous monk, it was not appropriate for him to draw inferences of guilt.

In addition, now that he has taken Yan Xiaolan as his concubine, the previous unhappiness between him and the Yan family has naturally turned into ashes and will not be mentioned again.

Of course, when he said these words at this moment, his purpose was not only this, but also had another purpose.

This purpose is to hint to the Yan family that after this request is made, they will not continue to ask him for help because of their relationship with Yan Xiaolan.

He directly bought out Yan Xiaolan's ownership in one go, which saved him from future trouble.

The words fell.

Yan Zezhi couldn't help but turn around and glanced at his nephew Yan Zhenping. Obviously, as Lao Jianghu, the two of them understood what Wei Tu said.

Moreover, they know that this requirement needs to be redeemed in time, and it will be invalid if it expires!

——After all, Wei Tu's feelings for Yan Xiaolan are limited, and he will no longer waste his energy on their Yan family.

"The Yan family wants to dominate Lou Gaozong and completely turn Lou Gaozong into the Yan family's private domain!"

Soon, Yan Zezhi became bold and made this request to Wei Tu.

Wei Tu ignored this request. He glanced at Yan Zezhi coldly and said in a cold voice: "Change a new one! Wei will not wait until he is out of date."

With his level, he could quietly destroy Lou Gaozong, which was not a big problem. But it is not easy to directly support the Yan family to dominate Lou Gaozong and turn a clan property into the Yan family's private domain in broad daylight.

First, this matter is extremely time-consuming.

Both of them, if they interfere in the internal affairs of other sects without authorization, they will easily be held accountable by Xiao Guo's righteous sect.

Lou Gaozong seemed to be just a quasi-Nascent Soul sect, but later on, it also had inextricable ties with several Nascent Soul forces.

Yan Zezhi was disappointed when he heard Wei Tu's rejection, but fortunately, he didn't have much expectations for it, so after thinking for a moment, he made another request.

"Also ask Ancestor Wei to give the Yan family three Nascent Soul spells to protect the family."

Yan Zezhi bowed deeply.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Wei Tu no longer refused. He nodded slightly and agreed.

Casting Nascent Soul spells and storing Nascent Soul spells for a long time are two different things.

The latter is somewhat difficult.

Otherwise, Yu Wencheng at that time would not have only carried the Nascent Soul Finger Power of Divine Master Jinxia with him.

However, this requirement is extremely energy-consuming for ordinary Yuan Ying ancestors, but this may not be the case for him.

The spiritual object he used when condensing the infant was a "spiritual object". The Yuanying spirit was extremely full, so in terms of manipulating mana, he was born with it much better than other Yuanying ancestors. .

Not to mention, he also has the "Yuanzhong Divine Light", which has this magical power and can be used as an aid to control mana.

"However, before leaving behind the three Nascent Soul spells, Wei needs to know the true intentions of the Yan family!"

Wei Tu said calmly.
