I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 574: News of the death of Patriarch Luo, returning to the Da Cang Cultivation World (5k2, please subscribe)

Not long after.

Under the leadership of Luqiu Qingfeng, Wei Tu and Ershan Master came to a courtyard built deep in the forbidden area and met the Luqiu Ren King.

The strongest man of the Luqiu clan looked no different from an ordinary high-ranking person. He was dressed in ancient robes, had gray hair on his temples, and had a stern look, exuding an aura of calmness and authority.

At this moment, he was sitting in a small pavilion in another courtyard, holding a tea cup in his hand, sipping the fragrant tea.

"Grandpa." With a smile on her face, Lu Qiu Qingfeng stepped down from the air, walked forward, and shouted in a friendly tone.

The King of Luqiu Ren was not her biological grandfather. He was separated from her by several generations, so he was regarded as her grandfather.

However, in order to show their close relationship, junior members of the clan like them would call the King of Luqiu people "Grandpa".

In front of the king of the country, Luqiu Qingfeng dared to "fight against each other", but in front of the king of Luqiu people, Luqiu Qingfeng only dared to play the role of a junior.

Without it, the Luqiu Renwang was too strong, and he was only one step away from becoming a god. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was only half a step away from becoming a god. Its strength is simply not comparable to that of a newly promoted late Nascent Soul like her.

Next, Luqiu Qingfeng took Wei Tu and the two mountain masters to the Luqiu clan's worship hall to settle down and sign the corresponding spiritual contract.

He simply saw that Wei Tu was in the "middle stage of Yuan Ying" despite his young age, and he cherished his talent.

After meeting the queen of Luqiu people.

……

There are not many worshippers in the worship hall, only five people in total. Three of them are in the middle stage of Yuanying, and two are in the early stage of Yuanying.

"I'm afraid it's more than that..."

Luqiu Qingfeng's smile couldn't help but freeze.

The good news is that, as she expected, the Luqiu Renwang failed to see that Wei Tu was the real murderer of Luqiu Jinyuan.

The king of Luqiu people reminded the younger generation of Luqiu Qingfeng based on his experience.

"Qingfeng, you're here." Luqiu Renwang showed a kind smile on his face, pointed to the stone bench next to the coffee table, and motioned Luqiu Qingfeng to sit down.

Luqiu Qingfeng smiled and said.

In the short term, the Second Mountain Master can still be patient.

After staying for a while, Master Ershan, who lived next to Wei Tu, looked ashamed and sighed.

"The strong ones are like a forest. There are too many differences."

After hearing this, Wei Tu suddenly realized that the Second Mountain Master was a bit "acclimated".

After all, only she and the King of Luqiu Ren know this, so it won't affect her reputation.

"My grandson will definitely take precautions against this if he knows about it."

"However, if you can control it, it won't be a big deal if you treat him as a male favorite instead of a Taoist companion."

These processes are almost the same as the major forces soliciting offerings and are not worth mentioning.

"In all matters, national affairs should take priority."

Like Luqiu Yeming, the Luqiu Renwang did not think of Wei Tu as a "murderer" at all. After all, in his prediction, the murderer who assassinated Luqiu Jinyuan was most likely to be in the late Yuanying stage or above, and could not be A small Nascent Soul middle stage.

But Luqiu Qingfeng did not refute this, but followed the words of Luqiu Renwang and continued.

Luqiu Qingfeng nodded and replied.

But in fact, secretly, she secretly conveyed the message to the king of Luqiu people and told the "truth" - saying that Wei Tu came to go one step further and came for the cultivation resources within the Luqiu clan.

The royal family is not secretive about gender matters.

The Second Mountain Master explained.

The words fell.

Although the strength of the Second Mountain Master is not low, in the worship hall, he does not rely on killing to make a living on weekdays. Instead, he relies on various immortal arts to earn resources from the Luqiu clan and even the major forces in the Donghua Demon Kingdom. .

"Although this boy's talent is good, he is still a bit reluctant to match you. Don't be greedy for the pleasures of men and women and forget your true identity..."

When he came to the Luqiu clan, he felt like a fish in water.

The king of Luqiu people glanced at Wei Tu and the Second Mountain Master, his eyes lingered on Wei Tu for half a breath, then a cautious look appeared on his face, and he asked.

It stands to reason that with the realm of the Second Mountain Master, he can be ranked in the middle, so he will not be so depressed and think that he is inferior to others.

"Master Weishan is a casual cultivator from Yunyang Island...I hit it off with my grandson, so I came up with the idea of ​​joining my Luqiu clan..."

"Who are these two?"

The bad news is that the King of Luqiu people mistakenly identified Wei Tu as her "admirer", and he joined the Luqiu clan because he had some selfish motives for her.

Her respect is awe of strength.

Wei Tu asked for specific reasons.

"Each of these worshippers possesses an immortal art of level 4 or above, and they are not ordinary people."

But as time went by, I saw that other worshipers were getting more and more income, but I could only hold on to a small salary. How could I not think more about it?
This is different from him.

The king of Luqiu people narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

He saw an unusually close relationship between Wei Tu and Lüqiu Qingfeng. Even though the two of them tried to hide it, with his experience, he could still see something.

Although his alchemy skills are still not as good as that of the alchemy master named "Le Alchemist" in the worship hall, he can already receive some alchemy commissions with high rewards.

Although these alchemy commissions could not bring him visible economic changes, they were of great benefit to him in improving his fourth-level alchemy experience.

besides……

The Luqiu clan has mastered several fourth-level talisman-making methods, which greatly increases the types of talismans that he, a fourth-level talisman master, can draw.

It was quickly replenished. He lacked the accumulation of immortal skills because his realm improved too quickly.

"In Wulao Mountain, there is currently a lack of strong people in the middle stage of Nascent Soul to take charge. It would be good for fellow Taoist to return to Wulao Mountain..."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu gave a suggestion.

Although it was an opportunity for the Second Mountain Master to join the Luqiu clan and become a worshipper, since it was difficult for him to grasp this opportunity... then, in his opinion, he might as well return to Wulao Mountain as soon as possible and continue to provide for his old age.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate."

The Second Mountain Master shook his head and refused.

Although the resources he earns in the worship hall are far less than those of his colleagues, it is still much better than when he stayed in Wulao Mountain before.

In a word.

Returning to Wulao Mountain, he was waiting to die in old age, but in the worship hall, he still had a chance to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage and continue to live longer and become stronger.

After hearing this, Wei Tu finally understood what the Second Mountain Master was thinking.

Although you can't see the radish hanging in front of the donkey's head, it smells delicious.

He did not try to persuade him anymore, but took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to the Second Mountain Master.

"These are some of Wei's experiences on Fu Dao. If fellow Taoists don't dislike it, you can accept it."

"If you have any questions, you can contact Mr. Wei."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

Nascent Soul masters like Ershan Lord, due to their long longevity, will more or less accumulate some attainments in the immortal arts.

The Second Mountain Lord is now a third-level mid-level Talisman Master and a second-level high-level Alchemy Master.

Although these immortal arts attainments are far inferior to other monks of the same track in the Worship Hall, they are still much better than starting from scratch with a blank piece of paper.

Wei Tu thought to himself that with his guidance, it was unlikely that the Second Mountain Master would become a Great Talisman Master, but in the enshrinement hall, the chance of making a living in the future was still high.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Wei, for your help."

After seeing this Taoist experience, the Second Mountain Master suddenly became happy, and he quickly bowed his hands and thanked Wei Tu.

He came here this time just to complain to his old friend Wei Tu. He never thought about getting a break from Wei Tu.

After all, as far as he knew, Wei Tu only had attainments above the fourth level in alchemy.

As for Alchemy, he is quite gifted, and it is not something that a dwarf like him can delve into.

Therefore, it was an unexpected surprise for him to be gifted "Taoist Experience" by Wei Tu.

"a piece of cake."

"You and I are in the worship hall together, and we should help each other."

Wei Tu smiled slightly, stood up and returned the salute.

He will never hesitate to give away knowledge-based wealth to those close to him.

With the fate of "Late Bloomer" in hand, he can improve his Taoism much faster than the "apprentice" of Ershanzhu.

……

The days pass leisurely.

While Wei Tu was consuming a large amount of spiritual crystals stored after the war to improve his cultivation, he was also relying on the natural channels of the Luqiu clan's worship hall, like a sponge absorbing water, to continuously improve his attainments in alchemy and talismans.

at the same time.

His entrustment of Lu Qiu Qingfeng to "rescue Luo Mingzhen" gradually took off.

"This woman doesn't look like Ancestor Luo?"

Wei Tuduan carefully compared the "portrait" in the jade slip with the appearance of Patriarch Luo that he saw at the Ningying Ceremony.

After a moment, he frowned.

If he guessed correctly.

A few years ago, Xue Hongmian made two speculations. The "Ancestor Luo" in the first speculation is the real "Ancestor Luo".

In the Ruyi Tower, it had been used as a furnace and was harvested by several Nascent Soul masters until death.

"Luo Mingzhen" is just another poor female cultivator who was kidnapped and sold by Ruyi Tower.

Because there was no detailed information provided by Lu Qiu Qingfeng before, he mistakenly believed that Luo Mingzhen was the missing Patriarch Luo.

"More than one hundred and sixty years have passed since Patriarch Luo disappeared until now..." "It is normal for him to fall because of this."

Wei Tu sighed softly.

This is the cruelty of the world of immortality.

If he and Cao Mi had been in the current state when they first entered the overseas cultivation world, they would have most likely been able to rescue Patriarch Luo who was kidnapped by Ruyi Tower.

But alas, time waits not for us.

The two of them, after practicing for more than a hundred years, had their current strength, but they missed the best opportunity to rescue Patriarch Luo.

However, Wei Tu should be thankful.

Compared to him, Patriarch Luo who died this time was just an outsider and not a relative of his.

There was not much sadness in his heart.

After sighing with emotion, Wei Tu did not hesitate and immediately sent a talisman letter to Luqiu Qingfeng, asking him to suspend the rescue of "Luo Mingzhen".

A good thing that comes naturally.

He will not deliberately refuse.

But if he wants to pay the corresponding price, he should consider whether it is worth it.

It just so happens that rescuing Luo Mingzhen is something that requires a huge price.

This price is so high that it has exceeded the value of an ordinary Nascent Soul female cultivator.

——Because once "Luo Mingzhen" is rescued, there is a high chance of offending the two major Nascent Soul forces, Yin Gui Sect and Ruyi Tower.

Now, since this woman is not Patriarch Luo, Wei Tu will not be so kind as to save a strange female cultivator.

There are so many poor people in this world.

It's impossible to save them one by one.

……

After notifying Luqiu Qingfeng.

Wei Tu asked for half a year's leave from the Enshrining Hall, fled Yuanjun Island, and rushed to Yunyang Island where Wulao Mountain is located.

After he and the Second Mountain Lord became "enshrined" by the Luqiu clan, he handed over the power of Wulao Mountain to Cao Mi, who took charge of everything.

This time, the news that Patriarch Luo was confirmed dead had little impact on him as an outsider, but for Cao Mi, who regarded Patriarch Luo as his mentor, it was a complete tragedy.

As a good friend, it was not appropriate for him to inform me of this tragic incident through a letter.

This time.

Cao Mi was no longer reasonable and considerate, but cried rarely, like a tearful person.

More than a hundred years ago, when she learned that Patriarch Luo was missing, she did not cry, because disappearance did not mean death, and a miracle might happen.

A few years ago, she learned that Patriarch Luo might be trafficked to the Yin Ghost Sect and become the concubine of Elder Yuanying. She did not cry, because as long as she was alive, these shames would be gradually washed away with the passage of time. .

But now, no matter how strong she is, she has to admit one thing - her master, Patriarch Boluo, is dead and was tortured to death by Ruyilou.

"I, Cao Mi, will definitely avenge this!"

After a while, Cao Mi stopped crying. She wiped away the tears on her snowy face, gritted her silver teeth and spoke word by word.

She secretly swore in her heart that she would make Ruyilou and the monks who humiliated Master Luo pay with blood.

Wei Tu, who was standing aside, heard the utter hatred and murderous intention from Cao Mi's words.

He sighed softly, feeling the same.

More than two hundred years ago, when he learned of the death of his master Che Gongwei, he and Cao Mi had the same mood. They both wanted to kill their enemy and let their mentor rest in peace.

The current Cao Mi may have more hatred than him. After all, Che Gongwei did not suffer any pain when he died, while Patriarch Luo... was forcibly harvested and died by those Nascent Soul monks.

"Brother Wei Dao, take me to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace. Junior sister, I... want to become stronger."

At this moment, Cao Mi's firm words came into the ears of Wei Tu, who was in a state of confusion.

Wei Tu was startled. He glanced at Cao Mi in front of him, biting his lower lip, with a determined look on his face, and a little surprise on his face.

Now, it has been less than twenty years since the secret realm of Zun Wang Palace was opened.

More than ten years ago, after solving "Luqiu Jinyuan", Wei Tu mentioned some things to Cao Mi about the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, and asked him if he was willing to go to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace with him to explore opportunities.

After all, Cao Mi's "Three Flames Controlling Fire Technique" and his ability to control the "Yin Yang Demonic Corpse" have an excellent assisting effect on him when fighting strong men.

But for this,
Wei Tu did not force Cao Mi to agree.

Without it, it would be too dangerous.

His realm, among the group of cultivators who entered the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, could only be ranked in the middle, let alone Cao Mi, who was in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

At that time, Cao Mi did not agree directly, but said he would consider it first, which was considered a polite rejection.

It is common sense for people to refuse things that are beyond their ability. Just like his previous stance on rescuing "Luo Mingzhen", it does not affect their mutual friendship.

however--

Now Cao Mi agreed.

Wei Tu understood that this was Cao Mi's desire for revenge, which exceeded his own reason.

However, Wei Tu did not persuade him on this matter. He nodded slowly and agreed to Cao Mi's request.

First, he really needs Cao Mi's help.

With one more helper, he would be much more comfortable in the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

Of the two, Cao Mi is no ordinary woman, she is the ancestor of Yuanying and the master of Ningyue Palace who has been in power for many years.

It knows what it's doing.

Now that he has decided to follow him to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, he must have carefully considered the gains and losses there.

——Although there are many strong men in the world of immortality who have cultivated steadily, if a poor family wants to get ahead, 99% of them must fight, must rob, and must...take risks.

Continue to practice step by step in this way.

Wei Tu didn't think that Cao Mi would be able to avenge Patriarch Luo one day.

If he wants to take revenge, he must take a certain degree of risk and then get a chance to break through.

……

After comforting Cao Mi, Wei Tu returned to Yuanjun Island and began to prepare for going to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

After he had enough spiritual crystals for breakthrough, he purchased some fourth-level healing elixirs from the "Le Dan Master" in the worship hall.

In addition, he also began to purchase large quantities of monster skins, spiritual ink and other items for drawing fourth-level spiritual talismans.

——With the status of being worshiped by the Luqiu clan, the limited purchase and real-name purchase that previously restricted him no longer exist.

Make these preparations.

Then, Wei Tu personally went to Qingfeng's cave in Luqiu to find him to approve the leave.

Enshrined positions are great in peacetime, but there is only one thing: they are not free.

However, Luqiu Qingfeng invited him to join the Luqiu clan as one of the conditions for worship, which was "freedom to come and go".

Therefore, Wei Tu is not worried about this.

This time he came to see Lu Qiu Qingfeng, and it was just a formality. He did not really regard Lu Qiu Qingfeng as his boss and then asked him to approve the leave for him.

"Exploring the secret ruins?"

Luqiu Qingfeng frowned and repeated the reason for asking for leave that Wei Tu just said.

The Guixu Sea Cultivation Realm is called the Gui Xu Sea because there are many various ruins in various sea areas that look like secret realms.

It's just that the secret ruins that even Wei Tu and a Nascent Soul master would miss... Lu Qiu Qingfeng had never heard of it in the red algae sea area.

"It's in other sea areas."

Seeing this, Wei Tu added a sentence.

Hearing this, Luqiu Qingfeng's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little. She nodded slightly and agreed to Wei Tu's temporary departure.

"It's just that... Fellow Daoist Wei leaves, so you need to remember to return in time."

"The next pilgrimage to the ruins, you will be on the list of my Luqiu clan. This is not only a special favor to you from the king... but also an endorsement of my status as the crown prince..."

"Fellow Daoist Wei, remember not to be absent."

Luqiu Qingfeng paused and reminded.

In the world of immortality, the weak eat the strong.

Behind every force, more or less, there is a corresponding "background".

The same is true for the Luqiu clan.

The reason why the Luqiu clan has been able to dominate the red algae sea is because of the support and protection of the Lord Huashen behind them.

Therefore, entering the inner ruins and making a pilgrimage to the Lord Huashen has naturally become the most important event within the Luqiu clan.

Although Wei Tu's absence will not have a great impact on her status as prince, there are still some disadvantages, so if it can be avoided, Lu Qiu Qingfeng still hopes to do her best to avoid it.

"Pilgrimage to the ruins?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that he would hear the news about this matter from Lu Qiu Qingfeng so quickly.

More than twenty years ago, when he killed the ancestor of the Huo Fen Clan, he obtained the secret of "Pilgrimage to Ruins", a high-level monk in the overseas cultivation world, from his soul.

However, because he was afraid of the unknown consequences of this matter, he never used the token "Ascension Order" to participate in the "Pilgrimage to the Ruins" to meet the Lord Transformation God behind it.

But now... he might be able to agree.
