I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 438 Cao Mi breaks through and is called Dao Brother (5k4, please subscribe)

However, Wei Tu did not try rashly next, using the lamp oil of the Sky Star Lamp as a basis to summon another Chilong fantasy beast in the fire cloud cover.

After all, the lamp oil of Tianxing Lamp is different from his mana. Once consumed, it takes a certain amount of time to recover if it is to be restored.

The blood ointment and lamp oil he has now has been accumulated for several years.

And at this moment,

Just when Wei Tu was about to cast a spell to take the Chilong Fantasy Beast back into the fire cloud cover.

In the Cao Mi Cave Mansion next door, a huge whirlpool of spiritual energy suddenly rose at this moment.

"Starting to condense the Nascent Soul spirit body."

Wei Tu looked up and immediately used experience to deduce Cao Mi's current breakthrough process.

"From now on, it's time for me, the protector of the Dao, to really get busy."

Wei Tu looked slightly solemn. He waved his sleeves and robe, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul was dispersed outside the Ningyue Palace.

Ning Xuefeng wouldn't care too much.

only--

"I hope nothing happens to my ancestor." Ning Xuefeng sighed secretly.

same moment.

Without it, shortly after the birth of a baby in Ningyue Palace. About a year later, Master Hongjing, who had been "missing" for a long time, returned to the sect.

As a sect of overseas Chinese cultivators, Jingshui Pavilion, which has received great favor from Ningyue Palace, cannot deliberately indulge Shen Yunqiu and others like it did to Wei Yan, and deliberately cause trouble for the breakthrough of Cao Mi, the master of Ningyue Palace. .

Ning Xuefeng found that something seemed wrong with Master Hongjing's current state.

And Wei Tu was not a casual cultivator, behind him stood the large tribe of Ying Ding.

However, it didn't take long for Ning Xuefeng to feel that her worries were unnecessary.

There are three great masters supporting him!

This intimidating power is even more frightening than if Patriarch Luo was here alone to help protect the road.

Compared with when he left the sect, his breath was erratic, and his face showed pain from time to time, as if he had suffered internal injuries that were difficult to resolve.

Once Master Hongjing really dies, it will be difficult for Jingshui Pavilion to give birth to a Nascent Soul Ancestor to protect the sect in a short period of time.

……

Therefore, the targets of Wei Tu's security are mostly foreign cultivators outside Ningyue Palace and Jingshui Pavilion.

She had to prepare for the worst.

First, when did the relationship between Cao Mi and Wei Tu become so good?

The spiritual energy vortex that Cao Mi condensed when he formed a baby far exceeded the spiritual energy vortex that Wei Yan condensed when she formed an elixir.

The mystery of Patriarch Luo’s traces is whether he is dead or alive!

The ancestors of all factions have certain speculations about the safety of the ancestor Luo of Ningyue Palace.

"Strange! How come the monk protecting Cao Mi in Ningyue Palace is Wei Tu and not Patriarch Luo?"

Under the shock of Nascent Soul's coercion.

After all, the current Ningyue Palace has Wei Tu helping to protect the road.

For a while.

However, they were only guessing and did not take any action to prove their own ideas.

The second and most critical point is.

Although Wei Tu did not show up this time, it was not difficult to distinguish the auras of Wei Tu and Luo Ancestor, the two Yuan Ying ancestors of Kang State, based on their skills.

But now, Ning Xuefeng didn't dare to be too sure.

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Just the life and death of Patriarch Luo.

Soon, the monks' spiritual consciousness that was attracted by the spiritual energy vortex appeared and fled in all directions like a tide.

……

If Cao Mi hadn't appeared, Ning Xuefeng wouldn't have worried too much about Master Hongjing's life and death. After all, the possibility of something happening to the ancestor of Nascent Soul was unlikely.

After hearing the news, the ancestors of various sects who came to inquire about the activities of Ningyue Palace couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this situation.

"Ancestor, are you seriously injured?" Seeing this, Ning Xuefeng was shocked and rushed forward to greet him.

She had two doubts.

But the crux of the matter is that the ancestor of their sect, Master Hongjing, also came out with Patriarch Luo. So far, there has been no news, and his life and death are unknown.

In Jingshui Pavilion, which is separated by a mountain from Ningyue Palace.

Therefore, at the moment when the spiritual energy vortex appeared, almost all the spiritual energy around Ningyue Palace and Jingshui Pavilion was swept away by it like a whale sucking in hundreds of rivers.

After all, if Cao Mi hadn't been convinced that something was wrong with Patriarch Luo, it would be impossible for him to rashly invite Wei Tu, an outsider, to settle in the sect and protect himself.

After Ning Xuefeng realized all this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little confused.

Today's Jingshui Pavilion is not comparable to Ningyue Palace.

Master Hongjing waved his hand and used his magic power to push back Ning Xuefeng, who was about to step forward to help her.

Then, Master Hongjing seemed to sense something. He glanced outside, let out a light sigh, and asked, "Who is having a baby in Ningyue Palace now?"

"But Cao Mi, that girl?"

Without waiting for Cao Mi to answer, Master Hongjing said this sentence on his own.

"Yes, ancestor. The person who gave birth to the baby is none other than Cao Mi, the current master of Ningyue Palace."

Ning Xuefeng bowed slightly and replied.

"This girl Cao Mi has a baby, and she can actually attract Wei Tu to be her personal protector. It seems that these two people have a good relationship."

Master Hongjing smiled and joked.

However, Ning Xuefeng felt an inexplicable chill from these words.

She suddenly realized that Master Hongjing was criticizing her as the pavilion master for not doing enough.

Obviously it was Jingshui Pavilion that had the advantage in getting along with Wei Tu, but now, Ning Yue Palace took the lead in establishing a friendly relationship with Wei Tu and reached today's in-depth cooperation.

"Ancestor, this is Shen Yunqiu..."

Ning Xuefeng quickly defended.

She didn't want to take on this responsibility.

After all, if Shen Yunqiu hadn't blocked Wei Yan's breakthrough in Jingshui Pavilion back then, and then used a fake breakthrough to block his way again, the relationship between Wei Tu and Jingshui Pavilion would not be as rigid as it is now.

And she, here, has tried her best to mediate.

If she hadn't been here, I'm afraid today's Wei Tu would have regarded Jingshui Pavilion as his enemy.

"I know this."

Master Hongjing waved his hand, signaling Ning Xuefeng not to say too much.

Seeing this, Ning Xuefeng had no choice but to pause and stuff the words of defense in her throat back into her stomach.

But soon, Ning Xuefeng opened up another topic and brought up what she wanted to know most.

"Ancestor, how is the safety of Ancestor Luo now?" She asked in a low voice.

A few years ago, she saw with her own eyes that Master Hongjing and Patriarch Luo appeared together.

Now, Master Hongjing is seriously injured and has "postponed his return to the sect." Accordingly, something may be wrong with Patriarch Luo.

"Senior Sister Luo..."

Master Hongjing was silent for a moment and did not answer Ning Xuefeng's question.

"It's hard to talk about this matter. I will tell you when the time is right."

"Now, I will go to Ningyue Palace first."

Master Hongjing said in a solemn voice.

After finishing speaking, Master Hongjing didn't wait for Ning Xuefeng to reply, then turned into a red escaping light and fled in the direction of Ningyue Palace.

……

Not long after.

Wei Tu, who was guarding the Ningyue Palace area and protecting Cao Mi, sensed the aura of Master Hongjing outside the Ningyue Palace.

At the same time, Fairy Frost, who was the acting palace master, also discovered the traces of Master Hongjing through the fourth-level defensive formation of Ningyue Palace.

"Uncle Wei, do you want to let Master Hongjing in?" Fairy Frost walked into the cave, bowed her hands and asked Wei Tu for his opinion.

She also has some experience in handling the internal affairs of Ningyue Palace. But in foreign affairs, there is no such thing.

In addition, Master Hongjing's strength is enough to threaten Cao Mi's safety in seclusion.

Therefore, no matter whether Master Hongjing's intention is good or evil, she needs to handle it carefully and seek the opinion of Wei Tu, the guardian of the Tao, as soon as possible.

"No need to let her in."

Wei Tu made a decision.

"If Master Hongjing comes with good intentions, he will not stick to small details and mind whether he enters Ningyue Palace as a guest."

"Even if you are a sensible person, you will take the initiative to avoid suspicion. Avoid the melons and plums in the fields."

He explained patiently.

"Uncle Wei can make good decisions."

Hearing this, Fairy Frost couldn't help but brighten her beautiful eyes while praising him, secretly thinking that her master had indeed found the wrong person.

At this time, refusing Master Hongjing to enter Ningyue Palace may not seem like a big deal, but if Master Hongjing is a narrow-minded person...this decision may make Wei Tu feel more grudged for no reason.

But the other way around.

Wei Tu's willingness to take responsibility at this moment also proved in disguise that he was of noble character and was truly helping Cao Mi protect the road, rather than just going through the motions.

After the discussion, Wei Tu did not stay in the cave for long. Instead, he and Frost Fairy came to the entrance of Ningyue Palace to welcome the arrival of Master Hongjing.

The two of them had suitable excuses for not allowing Master Hongjing to join the sect.

But if you don't greet him in person, you will inevitably be suspected of insulting Master Hongjing, the ancestor of Nascent Soul.

"Fellow Daoist Hongjing." "Fellow Daoist Wei."

Shaoqing, Wei Tu and Master Hongjing greeted each other across the formation of Ningyue Palace.

"I wonder why Fellow Daoist Hongjing... came to Ningyue Palace this time?"

"Now that Mr. Wei has become Taoist Fellow Cao's protector, in order to fulfill his duty of protecting the Tao, he can only block Fellow Taoist Hongjing from the door. Please forgive me, Fellow Taoist Hongjing."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and got straight to the point.

At this sensitive moment, Master Hongjing suddenly came to visit. If he said that he was just visiting for a visit, Wei Tu would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

In addition, Patriarch Luo's "disappearance and default" is also inseparable from Master Hongjing.

At this time, although Wei Tu could not directly confess the matter, he thought that Master Hongjing was probably well aware of this.

Block the door?

Hearing this, Master Hongjing was immediately startled, and felt quite annoyed. After all, she was the majestic Nascent Soul. Where could she go without being treated politely? How have you ever been rejected by others?

However, it is not worthwhile to fall out with Wei Tu and Ning Yue Palace just for this matter.

Therefore, although Master Hongjing was angry in his heart, he did not show any abnormality on his face.

"This time, I came to Ningyue Palace to discuss the matter of Fellow Daoist Luo with Palace Master Cao. But now, Palace Master Cao is in seclusion..."

After Master Hongjing sighed, he answered Wei Tu's question.

"Fellow Daoist Luo?" Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a look of great interest.

However, at this point, Master Hongjing suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.

After a while, Master Hongjing spoke again and said: "The matter about Fellow Daoist Luo is too complicated to explain in a few words. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Wei can move to the Immortal Wind Palace and discuss it in detail. .”

"I, after all, am a majestic Nascent Soul Lord. If you stay at the entrance of Ningyue Palace for a long time, you will be too low." A wry smile appeared on the face of the red mirror master.

These words are reasonable and reasonable.

Wei Tu didn't have much doubt.

After all, having a Nascent Soul Ancestor standing at the door is indeed too eye-catching.

Moreover, at this time, Ningyue Palace also attracted the attention of almost all the forces in Kang State.

However, after hearing the words "Xianfeng Palace", Wei Tu still shook his head and rejected Master Hongjing's suggestion.

Immortal Phoenix Palace is a side palace of Ningyue Palace and is not under the protection of the main palace formation of Ningyue Palace.

The last time he borrowed land to entertain Yu Gongshou and the others, the banquet was held at Xianfeng Palace.

In other words, if he moves to Xianfeng Palace to discuss the matter in detail with Master Hongjing, it will be equivalent to temporarily leaving the formation of Ningyue Palace...

Tune the tiger away from the mountain?

Wei Tu believed that the chance of Master Hongjing having this idea was low, but as a protector, he should nip it in the bud.

Besides, given his status, it is not appropriate to listen too much to the private affairs of Ningyue Palace.

Even if Wei Tu understands that he is now helping Cao Mi protect the road, in the eyes of Waixiu (Master Hongjing), his relationship with Cao Mi is already considered an extremely close person... Knowing these secrets is not a big deal.

But if you can avoid suspicion, you still need to try to avoid suspicion.

Moreover, there were only one or two years left before Cao Mi was released from seclusion. At that time, it would not hurt him to hear this secret again.

After thinking about it, Wei Tu truthfully told Master Hongjing his concerns one by one.

"I also ask Fellow Daoist Hongjing to return to Jingshui Pavilion temporarily. After Fellow Daoist Cao comes out of seclusion, Mr. Wei will visit with him."

Wei Tu said with a sincere look on his face.

After hearing this, Master Hongjing could not say any more. She nodded slightly, nodded to Wei Tu and left the palace gate of Ningyue Palace.

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

On this day, the sky above Ningyue Palace suddenly saw strong winds and dark clouds. Blue thunder thunder roared in the air and swayed downwards.

Immediately afterwards, two chakra magic weapons came out of Cao Mi's cave on the ground and faced the robbery.

This moon wheel magic weapon is extremely tough and has withstood several tribulation thunders without showing any sign of weakness.

"Fourth-level low-grade magic weapon?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the rich heritage of Ningyue Palace, a ten thousand-year-old sect, should not be underestimated.

This time, after participating in the Feixian Alliance's secret market trade fair in Yuanze Fairy City, his vision and knowledge have also been greatly improved.

I know that many Yuan Ying casual cultivators use mostly third-level magic weapons, instead of the fourth-level magic weapons that their realm should use.

In other words, in this aspect alone, Cao Mi, who was born in a sect, is ahead of most Yuanying casual cultivators after being promoted to the realm of Yuanying.

"With this set of fourth-level magic weapons, it will not be difficult for Cao Mi to successfully overcome the tribulation."

Wei Tu made a judgment in his mind.

The power of Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation varies from person to person.

Cao Mi was a member of the Qing Dynasty, and he had never done anything harmful to nature or justice in his life.

Therefore, the power of its thunder tribulation falls into the low category of ordinary thunder tribulation.

It is not as powerful as the thunder tribulation that the demon cultivator used to overcome.

Therefore, even if Cao Mi did not have the moon wheel magic weapon as a weapon to overcome the tribulation, his success rate of overcoming the tribulation would not be too low.

as predicted.

As Wei Tu expected, within three days, Cao Mi had safely passed through the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, more relaxed and casual than he had been in the past.

After three months.

Cao Mi stabilized his realm and broke through the barrier.

"This time, Taoist brother Lao Wei will protect me." Cao Mi walked to Wei Tu Cave in person, bowed to Wei Tu Yingying, and said with gratitude on his face.

This time, although Wei Tu encountered no danger on his way to protect the road, Cao Mi knew that if Wei Tu were not here, trouble would have come on the first day when the baby vision appeared.

This is just Wei Tu's "Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements".

After all, no matter which force, no one wants to see another Yuanying ancestor appear in Ningyue Palace.

Secondly, regardless of whether Wei Tu tried his best or not, he was more or less stuck in Ningyue Palace for three years while protecting her.

And here, there is almost no reward at all!

Some of it was just a debt of gratitude she owed to Wei Tu.

Of course, this is not because Cao Mi does not want to pay Wei Tu the reward, but because she was a golden elixir cultivator before, except for the tribulation weapon and the opportunity to conceive a baby... other treasures in her body are valuable. Dedicating it to Wei Tu would inevitably be suspected of humiliating Wei Tu.

On the contrary, her debt of gratitude is relatively precious in comparison.

"Brother Wei Dao?"

Hearing Cao Mi's more affectionate name for him, Wei Tu couldn't help but smile a little more.

Regardless of whether Cao Mi meant what he said, it was better to express this attitude than not to express it at all.

After this battle, he and Cao Mi had a relatively close relationship.

In the future, whether the relationship can get closer depends on whether he can lend a helping hand to him in times of crisis.

After all, true friendship comes only in times of adversity.

However, it is obvious that if he asks Cao Mi for help with some small things in the future, this woman will definitely have no objection.

"Back then, fellow Taoist Cao helped my Wei family a lot. What Wei did today was just repayment."

Wei Tu smiled faintly and replied.

"One thing is another thing. Brother Wei Dao cannot confuse these things."

Cao Mi shook his head slightly and said seriously.

After finishing speaking, Cao Mi seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and glanced at Wei Tu, then bowed his hands and said, "If Dao Brother Wei doesn't mind, just call me junior sister. There's no need to call me fellow Taoist, it's so unfamiliar."

——Even though she is much older than Wei Tu, the one who achieves it comes first. Wei Tu entered the Nascent Soul realm first, so he should be the elder brother of the two of them.

to this request.

Of course Wei Tu would not refuse. He came to help Cao Mi protect the road this time because he came here to expand the network of Cao Mi, the new Nascent Soul.

After a while, Wei Tu changed his words and called Cao Mi "Junior Sister Cao".

At this moment, Fairy Frost also mentioned to Master Cao Mi the sudden visit from Master Hongjing a year ago.

"Brother Wei Dao is indeed a conscientious person!" After hearing the corresponding details, Cao Mi's clear eyes turned, and there was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Tu.

Many years ago, when she and Wei Tu conspired to deprive Shen Yunqiu of the true spirit essence, she had mentioned that after having a baby, she would marry Wei Tu and become her Nascent Soul Taoist companion.

Later, with Wei Tu's refusal, the matter dropped.

But now, Cao Mi feels that this past thing may one day be possible.

After all, Wei Tu, like her, is a newly promoted Yuanying, and can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Of course, the most important thing is that after this experience, she no longer has the previous rejection of Wei Tu in her heart.

"A few years ago, Patriarch Luo left with Master Hongjing to explore the Zhaoming Dead Sea. Now, Master Hongjing has returned alone."

"In view of emotion and reason, I should also find Master Hongjing once and ask about Patriarch Luo."

Cao Mi pondered for a moment and then said.

"It's just that I have just been promoted to Nascent Soul and my magic power is low. I will inevitably have to work hard this time... Brother Wei Dao went with me." Cao Mi looked apologetic.

Unlike Wei Tu, the spiritual object she used to break through was not a psychic object, so her control over her body's magic power was far less smooth and smooth than when Wei Tu broke through.

Therefore, she is now at her most vulnerable in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, she did not dare to go alone to meet Master Hongjing.

"Even if Junior Sister Cao doesn't mention this matter, Wei is still willing to go. After all, Wei is also interested in the places explored by Patriarch Luo and Master Hongjing."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and replied.

Sometimes, risk means opportunity.

Ancestor Luo can get the "Infant Transformation Pill" from here, and in turn, he might also be able to get further treasures from it.
