I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 61 Progress in Immortal Cultivation (for collection, for further reading)

Eighth rank military officer.

This is his current official position.

He was promoted step by step through his qualifications and military exploits in the past 30 years.

But this year, Wei Tu reached the end of his official career at the age of more than [-] years old.

This made Xu Xianwei not sigh with emotion or envy.

Last year, after the chaos in Siyang Town was quelled, he still thought about taking Wei Tu as his confidant.

however,
This time and that time.

The current Weitu is comparable to his official status, but his future is even bigger than him. In the officialdom, generally speaking, his status will be lower than that of Weitu, a young official of the same rank.

The two chatted for a while.

At this time, Captain Xu suddenly changed the subject and talked about Li's house.

"Brother Wei and Li Zhai's connection, Xu also knows something about it."

"When it comes to Brother Wei's benefactor, although Xu doesn't want to say it's not in front of Brother Wei..."

"But thinking about Brother Wei's future, as a colleague, Xu still has to say a few words."

County Captain Xu looked at Wei Tu, and after deliberating his words for a while, he said.

"Li House?"

Wei Tu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Ever since he took Xinghua out of Li's house, his contact with Li's house was broken. Apart from offering the necessary rituals every year as a gesture of not forgetting the old kindness, he has never dealt with anyone in Li's house.

"But what's wrong with the Li residence?"

Wei Tu asked.

"Li's house is fine." County Captain Xu shook his head, "However, when our brothers were suppressing bandits recently, they met several swordsmen who were tenants of the Li family."

That's all he said.

There is no further reply.

There has been no disaster in Qingfeng Mansion in the past few years, and the harvest has been bumper for more than ten consecutive years, and the people have not yet reached the point where they cannot survive.

The tenants of Li's house were forced to become swordsmen, and Luoshan became a bandit. It's not just one person...

County Captain Xu believed that Wei Tu could figure out the reason behind this.

"Thank you brother Xu for letting me know."

After a few breaths, Wei Tu came to his senses, and he cupped his hands and thanked Captain Xu.

He understood the meaning of Xu Xianwei's words.

County Captain Xu was trying to persuade him to make a break with the Li family as soon as possible, and not to implicate him because of the Li family's affairs, and ruin his own reputation.

"The Li family is kind to me. After repaying the kindness of the Li family, it will have nothing to do with me." Wei Tu thought for a while, and said such a sentence to County Captain Xu.

Repaying the Li family's kindness does not mean that he borrowed ten taels of silver from the Li family, and it is over if he repays the ten taels of silver.

The Li family did not lack this little money, what the Li family wanted was the favors he owed during the process of "owing money".

When, when the Li family asks him to repay the favor...

He no longer owed the Li family any favors.

Just now, County Captain Xu implicitly said about the Li family, in addition to persuading him to make a break with the Li family and not to miss himself...

It was also secretly asking him if he wanted to "treat the Li family differently".

The fact that several tenants were knife bandits was not worth mentioning to Xu Xianwei, the number two figure in Qingshan County.

"So that's how it is." County Captain Xu nodded, with a gleam of gleam in his eyes.

He smiled and said: "If there is a chance, Xu will help Brother Wei with this favor and return the favor."

He helped Weitu repay the Li family's favor. Correspondingly, Weitu would also owe him a favor, but unlike the Li family, Weitu didn't owe him much favor.

——This is just mutual help between their two military officers of the same rank.

……

After leaving Xu's house, Wei Tu went to Wei Fei's house to meet Wei Fei again and bid farewell to Wei Fei.

however.

After Wei Fei learned of Wei Tu's official appointment, not only did he not congratulate him, but instead turned his face sternly, and said rather angrily: "Third brother, you are so successful, you went to Fucheng to be an eighth-rank guard, and you were promoted to be a high-ranking official..."

"Now I'm the only one left, staying alone in the county seat as a miscellaneous official."

"This is no brother!"

Hearing this, Wei Tu shook his head and smiled wryly.

He knew that it was because Wei Fei was close to him that he would speak like this... If it was an unfamiliar stranger, such as County Captain Xu, before he spoke to him, he would go through the words in his mind several times before he would say it.

Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to Wei Fei's displeasure, on the contrary he was a little happy.

Wei Tu comforted Wei Fei a few words, and said that whenever he had free time, he would bring his fourth younger brother Fu Zhizhou back to the county to find him for a drink.

Hearing this, Wei Fei immediately showed a smile, laughed, and was delighted with Wei Tu.

"However... third brother, if you come back to the county to meet me for a drink, you don't have to... you must bring the fourth brother, Fu Zhizhou..."

"Let's drink together."

Wei Fei waved his hand and said.

Among the four brothers, he had a bad relationship with Kou Liang and Fu Zhizhou at first, but now that Kou Liang is in the same situation as him, he will not reject Kou Liang.

but--

Facing Fu Zhizhou, who has always been "on top", is different.

Especially...after Weitu went to Fucheng and worked with Fu Zhizhou...there was a possibility of alienating his down-and-out brother...

Due to various factors, Wei Fei naturally didn't want Wei Tu to bring Fu Zhizhou to Qingshan County to meet him for a drink.

Hearing Wei Fei's words, Wei Tu wanted to persuade Wei Fei to accept Fu Zhizhou.

But after thinking about it, he swallowed the words in his throat, smiled, and nodded to Wei Fei, indicating that he agreed to Wei Fei's request.

——If Wei Fei and Fu Zhizhou were to "turn hostility into friendship", not only would his persuasion be useless, but on the contrary, it would "chill" Wei Fei, a friend.

Doing is always better than talking.

……

half a month later.

Weitu took Xinghua away from Qingshan County, and moved into a newly purchased courtyard in Fucheng.

This other courtyard is worth 13 taels of silver, more than double the price of the small courtyard in the county seat.

Wei Tu made a fortune a year ago, and it is more than enough to buy this courtyard.

Subsequently.

Wei Tu took office as the "Ximen Guard" of Qingfeng Prefecture.

……

time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

Five years have passed, and it has been 32 years in Qing'an.

Every year on the 13th of June, the four of Weitu will reunite in Xuanhe Building according to the agreement, to discuss the progress of practicing the Xianjia Kung Fu.

But it's a pity that, without exception, all four of them failed to practice the immortal family's kung fu, and none of them got started with the cultivation of "Five Yuan Yun Spiritual Body".

Except for Wei Tu, the other three people all felt frustrated in practicing the Immortal Family Kung Fu.

After all, life can have several five years.

however.

In July of this year, Fu Zhizhou had an unexpected harvest.

Fu Zhizhou didn't start the cultivation of the Xianjia Kungfu, but he successfully sensed the "sense of qi", and the inner qi was born in the meridians in the body, and he entered the state of sensing qi.

This year, Fu Zhizhou was 26 years old.

ten days later.

Fu Zhizhou sent someone to deliver a letter, and asked Weitu and the three to meet in Box No. [-], Tianzi, Xuanhe Building.

He said that his sense of birth aura is not only related to the experience taught by Wei Tu, but also related to this immortal family practice.

On the day when he sensed his inner qi, he was not practicing boxing and kicking skills, but was concentrating on practicing the fairy art of "Wuyuanyun Spiritual Body".

"I'm guessing that Xie Qing's possession of the Immortal Cultivation Technique doesn't mean he wants to practice it, but also wants to use this Immortal Cultivation Technique to find the sense of Qi and enter the realm of Sensing Qi..."

Fu Zhizhou made a reasonable guess.
