I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 600 Another Princess, Bloodline Advancement (5k2, please subscribe)

After hearing this, Kou Hongying said nothing more. After all, she had agreed to this plan in the beginning.

The reason why she sighed at this moment was not because she was indecisive, but because these monks whose memories were cut off were all "relatives" who had a close relationship with the three of them, and she just felt a little bit reluctant.

“Among these twenty-four people, there should be only a few cultivators who can break through to the Nascent Soul stage and regain their memories in the future.”

Kou Hongying took a silent look and thought to herself.

This is the cruelty of the path to immortality.

If one achieves the status and power of a Golden Elixir True Lord within a country, it will not be enough when expanded to the entire world of immortal cultivation. Not only will it be difficult for one to protect himself, but even his fate will be controlled by others.

She had to be thankful that she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage twenty years before Wei Tu entered the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace, otherwise she would have been temporarily deprived of her memory like these people.

……

A few months later.

After a long journey, the migration team led by the three Yuanyings Wei Tu, Cao Mi and Kou Hongying finally arrived at Yunyang Island.

"Third brother, what's going on?"

"Why were Lin'er, Yan'er and others suddenly brought to the overseas cultivation world?" In Wulao Mountain, Fu Zhizhou, who was guarding the rear, saw this scene and looked puzzled.

According to the previous ideas of the cultivators in their righteous society, only when the cultivators among their relatives reach the Nascent Soul stage will they be informed of the matters in the overseas cultivation world and sent to it.

But obviously, this group of migrating monks did not meet the standards.

Not only is there not a single Nascent Soul, but there are not many Golden Core True Lords, and there are even a large number of Qi-cultivating monks.

But soon, following Wei Tu's explanation, Fu Zhizhou felt relieved.

"Shengya Mountain and Hehuan Sect have bullied you and me too much. If we have the chance, we will slaughter their sects and cut off their spiritual lineage!"

Fu Zhizhou said with a look of resentment.

Compared to Wei Tu, who had always been the "beneficiary" between the Shengya Mountain and the Hehuan Sect, he was much more miserable. Not only was his son Fu Lin captured by the Hehuan Sect to be taken to a men-picking convention and used as a furnace to extract his essence, but he was also nearly killed by the Hehuan Sect while trying to rescue Fu Lin.

It can be said that there is a blood feud between him and the Hehuan Sect that is "you live and I die".

At this moment, seeing that the Hehuan Sect and Shengya Mountain had joined forces to persecute Wei Tu, how could he not be furious?

As for Wei Tu's tampering with Fu Lin's memory...

Fu Zhizhou didn't care too much about it. After all, Fu Lin's life was saved by Wei Tu in the past. Now, for the sake of the overall situation, it didn't matter if he lost some memories.

What's more, Wei Tu did not show favoritism and spare his only daughter Wei Yan from this disaster. Instead, he treated everyone equally and tampered with the corresponding memories in their minds.

Moreover, this kind of "tampering" of memory is more like sealing the memory rather than "tampering".

When the time comes, it can be reawakened.

Even if we take a step back, this method is much better than watching Fu Lin wait for death in the Great Cang Immortal Cultivation World.

Wei Tu was not surprised by Fu Zhizhou's emotional words, but he was slightly surprised by something else.

——The issue of Fu Zhizhou’s cultivation.

Just now, when his words were fierce, the magic power in his body fluctuated slightly, and he inadvertently got a glimpse of it.

“The peak of the early Nascent Soul stage?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and had a new understanding of the Soul-Devouring Wood’s tyranny.

You know, only seventy or eighty years have passed since Fu Zhizhou broke through the Nascent Soul stage.

In less than a hundred years, he advanced through two small realms and reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage. This speed was no less than his speed back then, and even faster.

Moreover, unlike him——

Fu Zhizhou did not have as many accumulated opportunities as he did in the early stage of Nascent Soul. He only got the "Nascent Soul" from Elder Guang after he defeated Luqiu Jinyuan.

Even though Elder Guang was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul during his lifetime, with it as a "human pill", it would be difficult for a normal demon cultivator to break through from the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

There is a certain loss in mana conversion between the two.

Perhaps, it would take two middle Nascent Soul stages to feed one Nascent Soul stage peak.

In other words, Fu Zhizhou, who possesses the "Soul-Devouring Wood", suffers far less mana loss when consuming the "Human Pill" than other magic practitioners of the same level, making him almost twice as strong.

This difference of one time may seem not high, but in fact it can already affect the life of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator.

After all, capturing the "Human Pill" also involves risks. Double the mana loss conversion rate will reduce the external risks by half, and can also greatly reduce the time required for practice.

But for that.

Wei Tu is happy to see this happen.

The faster Fu Zhizhou grows, the greater help it will be to his future!
……

After taking in these migrating monks in Wulao Mountain, Fu Zhizhou began to discuss other important matters with Wei Tu.

He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wei Tu.

"This is the letter that the Ninth Princess handed over three years ago."

Fu Zhizhou said.

"A letter from the Ninth Princess?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows when he heard that, took the letter, removed the restriction on the letter in front of Fu Zhizhou, and began to read it.

After a moment, his expression relaxed and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Although this letter mentioned an imminent event, it was not a bad thing but a good thing.

This matter was not something else. It was exactly what the Ninth Princess had invited him to do decades ago, to go to the Neixu Sea to worship the Venerable Huashen together with the cultivators of the Luqiu clan.

In other words, this letter was merely an urging letter from the Ninth Princess "Lüqiu Qingfeng" to him, asking him to return to Yuanjun Island as soon as possible and not miss this important event.

"The letter said there were only ten years left, and now three years have passed, leaving only seven years left."

“There is still plenty of time.”

Wei Tu put away the letter and thought to himself.

Before this, he had promised Luqiu Qingfeng that he would return from the secret realm in time and would not break his promise.

Now, he has basically abided by the agreement, and once the date arrives, he can go to Neixu Sea with Luqiu Qingfeng.

"Has anything unexpected happened recently?"

Wei Tu asked Fu Zhizhou, he was referring to the soul servant he had taken in before - the Earth Spider Mother Xue Hongmian.

This woman is an old Yuanying-stage ancestor who dominates a region. Moreover, she has a grudge against him for having killed his son. It is very likely that she has made some unusual moves during the decades that he has been away.

"No, Xue Hongmian has always been very respectful."

Fu Zhizhou shook his head. He had a soul tablet temporarily given to him by Wei Tu in his hand. As long as Xue Hongmian made any unusual movements, he would crush the soul tablet and kill this woman.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly, with a little more smile on his face.

As a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator who had worked his way up from being a casual cultivator, Fu Zhizhou was not a frivolous person. When he spoke of Xue Hongmian being "submissive", he definitely did not just sit in Wulao Mountain and inquire about Xue Hongmian's recent movements before coming to this conclusion. He must have gathered the corresponding intelligence before he dared to make such a boast.

"Send a letter to Xue Hongmian and ask her to use the Spider Heart Sect to help me collect these elixirs." Wei Tu flipped his palm, took out a green jade slip and handed it to Fu Zhizhou.

This jade slip contained some auxiliary medicines in the recipe of the "Qi Shaping Pill" in his hand.

Only after collecting these auxiliary medicines can he start to refine the Qi-shaping Pill and then break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

In fact, with his status as a "tribute" of the Luqiu clan, it would be easier to collect these auxiliary medicines with the help of the dominant power of the Donghua Demon Kingdom in the Red Algae Sea.

However, in this way, his realm information would be indirectly mastered by the cultivators of the Luqiu clan.

There may be serious consequences in the future.

Although Wei Tu did not think that he would have a falling out with the Luqiu clan in the future, it was still necessary to take precautions before it happened. This was a basic quality required for a strong man.

"My foolish brother knows."

Fu Zhizhou nodded and accepted the jade slip.

……

After leaving the "trivial matters" to Fu Zhizhou, Wei Tu felt relieved. However, he did not stay in Wulao Mountain for a long time to practice. Instead, he escaped with a flash of light and headed straight towards Yuanjun Island.

Now, although there are still seven years left before the "ten years" mentioned by Luqiu Qingfeng, he still needs to arrive as early as possible if possible.

This is a respect for Luqiu Qingfeng as a collaborator.

Don't let small things evade you.

Many times, the improvement or deterioration of relationships between people often starts with small things.

"Friend Wei, you're back?" Half a month later, not long after Wei Tu reported to the Luqiu clan's worship hall, Luqiu Qingfeng set up a royal carriage and came to the worship hall with a smile on his face to visit Wei Tu.

She was very surprised at Wei Tu's strong sense of time. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, it was not uncommon for cultivators to break their appointments due to important matters, let alone a strong man like Wei Tu.

He just made up an excuse, saying it wasted time, and no one could find any fault with it.

"Princess." Wei Tu opened the door of the cave, bowed, and welcomed Luqiu Qingfeng in.

However, not long after the two of them exchanged greetings, a loud noise suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.

Wei Tu swept his spiritual sense and saw a royal carriage with similar ceremonial specifications to the one when Luqiu Qingfeng came.

At this time, a girl who looked similar to Luqiu Qingfeng but more childish, as if she had never been in love before, slowly walked out from under the pearl curtain of the imperial carriage.

The girl was dressed in green, with long hair like a snowy waterfall draped over her shoulders, and a few strands of hair gently brushed across her gentle face. There was a soft glow between her eyebrows, which was different from the coldness of Luqiu Qingfeng, giving people a kind and warm feeling.

"It's Xiao Shiqi. She and I have a pretty good relationship..." Luqiu Qingfeng smiled slightly and reminded Wei Tu.

Little Seventeen, the Seventeenth Princess, was personally trained by her as a marriage partner to win over Wei Tu, her partner.

Several decades ago, this girl successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul and officially entered the Nascent Soul stage, gaining preliminary qualifications to marry the powerful Wei Tu.

However, although she had certain qualifications for marriage, Luqiu Qingfeng still had to worry about how to make Wei Tu accept her as his imperial sister and not be suspicious.

In the eyes of the strong, female beauty is the most mediocre resource, and it is difficult to impress Wei Tu with it.

And it was obviously impossible for her to ask Wei Tu to marry her or take her as his wife or concubine just by saying so casually.

Therefore, Luqiu Qingfeng could only instruct her imperial sister "Luqiu Qing" to take the initiative to win Wei Tu's favor.

Today, she went to Wei Tu's cave, not only to reminisce with her "old friend" Wei Tu, but also to create an opportunity for Lu Qiuqing to get along with Wei Tu.

"Why did the seventeenth princess come to Wei's cave?"

Wei Tu didn't understand what Luqiu Qingfeng was thinking. After seeing this scene, he naturally became suspicious.

After all, he was not familiar with the seventeenth princess at all, let alone a friendship. He and her had only met a few times.

"This time, my sister is one of the people who are selected to make the pilgrimage to the ruins. She came to see you, probably because she wants to make friends with you."

Luqiu Qingfeng lied without blushing or beating her heart.

In fact, what she said was true. Even if there was no deal behind the marriage, it was impossible for Lu Qiuqing to not make friends with Wei Tu, the clan priest, before entering the ruins for pilgrimage, and not even say hello.

Hearing this, Wei Tu's face showed enlightenment. He stood up from the main seat and walked out of the cave to greet the seventeenth princess.

Not long after, Lvqiu Qing was greeted by Wei Tu and walked into the cave hall. When she saw Lvqiu Qingfeng was also in Wei Tu's cave, she showed a look of surprise.

Although this hint of surprise was not obvious, it was still caught by Wei Tu. Seeing this, he temporarily put aside his suspicions and warmly entertained the noble lady from the Luqiu clan.

After all, on the surface, he was just a worshipper of the Luqiu clan, so he had to give some face to direct descendants like Luqiu Qing.

The three of them began to talk about the various things related to the "pilgrimage to the market town".

For example, do not violate the taboos of Venerable Huashen, and get along well with Venerable Huashen's disciples, etc.

only--

Wei Tu soon began to notice that Luqiu Qingfeng seemed to intentionally or unintentionally bring up topics between him and Luqiu Qing, as if wanting him and Luqiu Qing to get to know each other.

Although the message this woman delivered was secretive, it could not be hidden from a Yuanying like him who came from a humble family but had many years of experience in the martial arts world.

You have to know that when he was in his twenties, he was already a military officer in the mortal world. When it came to handling interpersonal relationships, he was simply no match for the cultivators from big families like the Ninth Princess.

"This Luqiu Qing should be Luqiu Qingfeng's person. She deliberately sent her biological sister here. What is her purpose?" Wei Tu was alert and thought to himself.

However, Wei Tu did not reveal his suspicion on the surface. He continued to cooperate with Luqiu Qingfeng in the performance and chatted with him from time to time.

Soon, through chatting, Wei Tu and Lu Qiuqing became much more familiar with each other.

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

After chatting for an afternoon, Lu Qiuqing stood up and said goodbye.

She knew very well that more haste makes waste, and she knew that it was impossible to increase Wei Tu's favorability towards her and marry her in just one day.

"Why did the Ninth Princess send Lu Qiuqing here?"

After Luqiu Qing left, Wei Tu narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Luqiu Qingfeng who was sitting next to him, his words revealing his dissatisfaction.

He and Luqiu Qingfeng have leverage over each other and are close collaborators, so he is not afraid of Luqiu Qingfeng's current status or the background power that this woman can mobilize.

Therefore, instead of continuing to be suspicious and wasting time, it would be better to ask directly now and find out what Luqiu Qingfeng is thinking.

After all, from what he saw of Luqiu Qingfeng's behavior, it didn't seem like there was much malicious intent on his part.

"This..." Upon hearing this, the smile on Luqiu Qingfeng's face froze. She had never expected that Wei Tu had discovered her little thoughts.

Thinking of all the oppression Luqiu Jinyuan had inflicted on her during his lifetime, the arrogance that had arisen in her heart due to her success in seizing the throne suddenly disappeared, and she once again realized her own "mediocrity" in dealing with people.

At least, he cannot compete with a great man like Wei Tu.

"This..." Luqiu Qingfeng was ashamed to speak. It was difficult for her to say that she was planning to let Luqiu Qing "sell her beauty for fame" so as to completely win over Wei Tu.

"Friend Wei, what do you think of Little Seventeen?"

Thinking of this, Luqiu Qingfeng could only use a more tactful sentence to ask Wei Tu a question and answer Wei Tu's question.

The words fell.

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, and naturally understood Luqiu Qingfeng's thoughts. After all, he had been practicing for more than 600 years and had encountered such situations many times.

However, what made Wei Tu quite dissatisfied was that Luqiu Qingfeng looked down upon him too much. She wanted to completely win him over just by relying on the fact that she was the seventeenth princess?
He is not the kind of person who can't walk when he sees a woman.

"Wei already has someone he loves, so I advise the princess to give up this idea as soon as possible." Wei Tu said lightly.

"The one you admire?"

Hearing this, Luqiu Qingfeng couldn't help but be surprised. According to her investigation, there were not many female cultivators around Wei Tu, and the only female cultivator who was a match for him was Cao Mi.

"But Cao Mi?"

Luqiu Qingfeng asked. She had seen the "Ice Demon Ghost" in the Kangshan Cave of Ghosts - Cao Mi, and knew that this woman was also a beauty with a beautiful face. If Wei Tu had someone he admired, it could only be Cao Mi.

"It's not Junior Sister Cao."

Wei Tu shook his head. He had no false thoughts about Cao Mi. The relationship between the two was just a cooperative one.

"Not Cao Mi?" Luqiu Qingfeng was stunned when she heard that. Apart from Cao Mi, she really couldn't think of any other beauty around Wei Tu who was worthy of his admiration.

"Could it be me?"

Luqiu Qingfeng is also very confident in herself. She comes from a prominent family, has noble bloodline, and is the future ruler of the Donghua Demon Kingdom. Although she is not more than enough for Wei Tu, a Nascent Soul powerhouse who has the potential to become a god, they are definitely a good match.

However, she changed her mind and gave up the idea.

Just like her initial idea when she formed an alliance with Wei Tu, she didn't want to sacrifice herself just to make friends with Wei Tu.

She is not a commodity!

Besides, Wei Tu's appearance was too ordinary, making it difficult for her to be moved by him.

"Since Fellow Daoist Wei already has someone he loves, I will no longer allow Little Seventeen to come and bother you."

Luqiu Qingfeng sighed softly and made a promise.

Arranging the marriage of the seventeenth princess Lu Qiuqing to Wei Tu and thereby deepening her relationship with Wei Tu was just an idea she came up with a few decades ago, so even if this approach didn't work, she wouldn't be too disappointed.

……

The rest of the way to Neixu Sea.

Sure enough, Luqiu Qingfeng kept his promise and did not let Luqiu Qing bother Wei Tu too much.

Wei Tu also took advantage of this time to use the corpses of the turtle monster and the sea snake monster to successfully feed the "Liang Yi Infant" with their blood, making it the nourishment for the Five Elements Infant to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage.

"The infant's body is nine feet and three inches, which is more than two or three feet taller than the infant of a normal cultivator who has just entered the late Nascent Soul stage... Although the Nascent Soul of the Other Path is different from the normal one and is not restricted by the Immortal Path, the magic power of this infant is many times stronger than that of a late Nascent Soul of the same level."

Wei Tu tightly grasped the Soul Refining Banner, and looked inward at the "Five Elements Infant" that had been reborn, with some joy on his face.

After his combat power reached the late Nascent Soul stage, the power of the Soul Refining Banner could not help but fall behind, otherwise the Red Dragon Patriarch would not have left it unused… But now with the addition of the "Five Elements Infant", the main soul of the late Nascent Soul stage, its power is enough to become one of his trump cards.

"In addition to the Five Elements Infant, the Sky-Splitting Eagle's bloodline also underwent a transformation at this time."

Wei Tu put away the Soul Refining Banner, walked up to the spirit beast room, and with a flash of golden light in his eyes, he looked at the Sky-Splitting Eagle that was now in a deep sleep.

He clearly saw that the blood in the Sky-Splitting Eagle's body had gradually transformed into the "pure-blooded descendants" of Luqiu Jinyuan, with a hint of red gold in the blood.
