I Am a Late Bloomer In the World of Immortality Chapter 232

Chapter 232 Ghost Puppet Sect, High-level Auction (6k big chapter, please subscribe)

Gong Shulan, also known as Hu Yao, has a ghost body, one soul and two bodies. In particular, he was the first monk he came into contact with after entering the world of immortality.

If nothing happened later, he and the woman would be considered good friends.

Back then, when he encountered a robbery, it was this woman who provided him with information and saved him from being killed.

 Subsequently, he also provided the woman with a talisman business, allowing her to accumulate before building a foundation.

 The two sides have come and gone.

But until... Gong Shulan was hunted by Shu Yunmeng, and he accidentally learned the secret that "Hu Yao" was just Gong Shulan's "spare body"... the relationship back then changed forever.

You must know that the calamity cultivators he encountered back then were the two subordinates of "Geng Wen", a disciple of Master Shu Dan of Shu Yun Meng, and Gong Shulan and Shu Yun Meng had already had conflicts.

  Analyze from this point.

It is not difficult to see from Wei Tu that Hu Yao had a good relationship with him back then, and it was very possible that he was used as a **** to attract the attention of Shu Yunmeng.

“Unexpectedly, I bumped into her here today.” Wei Tu had a cold expression on his face, and he had the idea of ​​​​killing this powerful enemy.

Hundred years ago, in order to deal with Gong Shulan, a demonic monk, Kou Hongying, who was traveling with him, crushed the sect token and invited Gong Zhenjun from Jingshui Pavilion.

 But what he and Kou Hongying didn't expect was.

Gong Shulan was too cunning and used a puppet to deceive him and Kou Hongying. As a result, Gong Zhenjun, who arrived later, was unable to catch up in time and had to watch helplessly as he fled into the Yaolang Mountains.

As for why Gong Shulan suddenly appeared here and exhumed the bones of Master Shen Tu, Wei Tu was not too surprised.

 The Ghost Puppet Sect is famous for its skills in making human puppets, both good and evil.

 The materials for making human puppets mainly come from three parts.

 1. Proceeds from the battlefield; 2. Proceeds from trading; 3. Proceeds from tomb robbing.

 The last point has led to the notorious reputation of the Ghost Puppet Sect, which is hated by everyone.

At present, Gong Shulan's state is only at the peak of foundation building, and has not yet formed the elixir.

 This is a good time for Wei Tu to take action.

"Golden elixir puppet?" Just when Wei Tu was about to ambush and kill Gong Shulan, he suddenly discovered a monk in black cloak hiding in the grass a few hundred steps away from Gong Shulan.

With his spiritual consciousness comparable to that of a late-stage Jindan, Wei Tu could tell at a glance that the realm of this black cloaked monk was above the Jindan realm.

 It's just that his face looks lifeless and lifeless.

Gong Shulan's hidden move made Wei Tu very afraid.

“We haven't seen him for a hundred years. Could it be that Gong Shulan has broken through the golden elixir?” Wei Tu frowned.

 The body of ghosts and spirits, like Master Qingmei's “Xuanmu Spirit Body”, are both spiritual bodies.

But unlike Master Qingmei, Gong Shulan's ghost body is not a residual body.

 This also means that once Gong Shulan reaches the peak of foundation building, with his qualifications, it is only a matter of course to break through to the golden elixir realm.

 So, judge from this.

Gong Shulan's current state may not necessarily be her true state. The "peak of foundation building" may be just a cover for her to be exposed to the outside world.

 Even, Gong Shulan's true identity at this time may be just a puppet.

The black-cloaked monk in the golden elixir realm is his true body and realm.

"This ghost body is difficult to deal with." Wei Tu felt a headache when he saw this.

Gong Shulan has the body of a ghost, not only one soul but two bodies, she is also a monk of the Ghost Puppet Sect and can make human puppets.

 A battle with Gong Shulan is not necessarily easier than dealing with Bai Zhi from the Heavenly Lady Sect.

Now, he steals the bones of Master Shentu, a Nascent Soul monk, and uses them to make human puppets.

 What about before?

Wei Tu couldn't guess whether Gong Shulan had any human puppets made from the bones of other Nascent Soul Realm corpses.

 After thinking about it again and again.

Wei Tu decided to endure the murderous intention and wait for an opportunity in the future before attacking Gong Shulan.

After all, the area he was in at this time was Jingguo, which was occupied by the devil. Due to Gong Shulan's special characteristics, it was difficult for him to kill him with one blow.

 With Gong Shulan's invitation to Gui Kuizong's fellow sect and Yuanying Ancestor?

Although Guikuimen is not one of the five demonic sects, it is still at the forefront among the demonic sects, and there are Yuanying monks in the sect.

Gong Shulan is a spiritual monk and must be taken seriously in Gui Kui Sect... This woman is not a lamb left to be slaughtered in the righteous world a hundred years ago.

"Fellow Taoist, please stop. The bones in this cemetery were left by the elders who were close to me next time." After a moment, Wei Tu walked out of the clouds and stopped Gong Shulan from continuing to rob the tomb.

He waved his sleeves, and the restrictions in the cemetery that were on the verge of being broken by Gong Shulan were restored to intact and shining brightly.

Although Wei Tu decided not to attack Gong Shulan for the time being to settle the old grudges from a hundred years ago, but not doing so did not mean that he would hide from Gong Shulan.

 With Gong Shulan's cultivation level, he was unable to do anything to him, a golden elixir cultivator.

“Third-level body refiner?” Seeing Wei Tu appear, Gong Shulan was startled at first, and then there was a hint of fiery color in her eyes.

 Compared to ordinary monks.

 Physical refiner is one of the best choices for refining human puppets.

Seeing Gong Shulan's expression, Wei Tu frowned slightly and snorted in dissatisfaction. He released his pressure and pressed on Gong Shulan, who was only at the "Peak Foundation Establishment" in front of him.

"It's similar to my guess. Gong Shulan definitely has the strength of the golden elixir. Otherwise, how could she, a foundation-building monk, be so disrespectful to me." Wei Tu thought.

 Not as expected from Wei Tu.

Gong Shulan waved her jade sleeve and easily resolved the pressure coming from Wei Tu.

She laughed and said, "I didn't know that this cemetery was left by a Taoist friend, and I was offended for a moment... I don't know the name of my friend, and who is the senior Yuanying buried here?"

 When meeting a monk, it is almost a common practice in the world of immortality to ask for his name first.

Everyone is worried about hitting a brick wall.

The Nascent Soul corpse in front of her looked like it had been dead for hundreds of years, but Gong Shulan was also afraid that it had another origin and that the sect that she had protected during her lifetime had not lost its prestige.

"The monks of the Ghost Puppet Sect are becoming more and more bold. Now that Xu has arrived, instead of apologizing, Your Excellency has tested Xu's heel." Wei Tu did not answer Gong Shulan's words. He sneered. The voice asked.

 Golden elixir monk is already a well-known person in the world of immortality.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivator, he is a famous and thunderous existence in the world of immortality in various countries.

 Even if he has been dead for hundreds of years.

His reputation will not be quickly forgotten in the world of immortality.

If he makes up a nonsense name, not only will he not be able to deter Gong Shulan, but it will be counterproductive and make Gong Shulan and the Ghost Puppet Sect behind him have new evil intentions.

As for why the name "Master Shentu" was not mentioned, there is naturally a reason.

Master Shentu was the righteous predecessor of Jingguo thousands of years ago. He was undoubtedly asking for trouble by raising the name Master Shentu in the demon world.

 After finishing this sentence.

Wei Tu shook his head again and said to himself: "If Master Ye hadn't planned to return to his roots without being disturbed by others, Xu would have reported it to the sect and punished you, the Ghost Puppet Sect."

 Thanks to the previous interrogation of Bai Zhi, he knew a little about the big figures in the demonic world.

 So, the "Uncle Ye" and "Xu" he made up at this moment are trying to match the surnames of some important figures in the magic way.

—Master Shentu's bones contained a ghostly aura. No matter how Gong Shulan looked at it, it was impossible to recognize that the bones were from a righteous monk and not from a demonic soul.

Hearing what Wei Tu said,

Gong Shulan was dubious.

 But limited by her horizons, Gong Shulan did not dare to be sure that her suspicion was true. After all, for this kind of thing, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

 Once she guesses wrong.

 The one who was offended was a large sect and the Yuan Ying Ancestor behind it.

Of course, if I hadn't been caught this time, it would have been a different story.

 “I was presumptuous.” Gong Shulan thought about it again and apologized again.

"These are ten high-grade spiritual stones, which can be regarded as an apology gift from me." Gong Shulan turned her palm, took out a spiritual stone bag, and threw it to Wei Tu.

"With this little spiritual stone, is Taoist friend playing tricks on Xu?" Wei Tu took the bag of spiritual stones, weighed it, and said disdainfully.

As he spoke, he activated the "Sha Demon True Skill" and condensed the "Sha Demon Armor", which showed signs of fighting if they disagreed.

Seeing this situation, Gong Shulan no longer had any doubts in her heart, and was sure that Wei Tu and the Nascent Soul corpse came from a certain demonic sect, so they were so confident and "blackmailed" her.

“When I found this tomb, I thought that the bones of the Nascent Soul were old and no one had worshiped them. Then I thought of moving the bones to another place..."

 After Gong Shulan defended herself, she took out a spirit stone bag from her body and threw it to Wei Tu.

This time, there are a lot more spiritual stones in the spiritual stone bag, with a total of twenty high-grade spiritual stones.

After getting the spirit stone bag, Wei Tu's expression softened a little. He waved his sleeves and robe, put the bones of Master Shentu back into the storage bag, then shook his body and planned to leave.

 Time has changed.

 The current environment in Jingguo is no longer suitable for burying the bones of Master Shentu. After Jingguo was recaptured by Zhengdao, he would choose an opportunity to bury the remains of Master Shentu.

Otherwise, as soon as he was buried, Gong Shulan and other demon cultivators on the back would dig the grave.

 “Fellow Taoist, please stay.” At this time, Gong Shulan stopped Wei Tu.

"I wonder if it would be convenient for us to exchange names? I am Gong Shulan, a monk of the Ghost Puppet Sect."

Gong Shulan bowed her head and bowed.

"Xu...his surname is Xu Mingxing. He is a casual cultivator and not worth mentioning." Wei Tu gave himself a nonsense name of "Xu Xing" and replied.

“Not long after, an auction will be held in Changshan County, Jingguo. Those who are qualified to enter the auction are monks above the foundation level. There are also many golden elixir monks like you and me.”

"If Daoist Fellow Xu is not busy, you can go to this auction. I am willing to introduce you to Daoist Xu." Gong Shulan said with her beautiful eyes flowing and a smile on her lips.

 A high-profile auction is no less than an opportunity for a monk with a suitable level.

—Normally, monks would never have the opportunity to exchange spiritual stones and unused resources for the treasures they need.

 Hearing this, Wei Tu's face gained a hint of emotion.

This time, he came to Jingguo. In addition to burying Master Shentu, his other purpose was to exchange a high-level soul-searching secret technique to search for the soul of Bai Zhi.

This high-profile auction really played into his heart.

“When does the auction start? Where is the location? What are the benefits of introducing Xu, fellow Taoist to the palace?”

As soon as Wei Tu opened his mouth, he asked three questions. "I will explain the time and place issues to Xu Daoyou in detail later." Although Gong Shulan was a little dissatisfied with Wei Tu's caution, she still had a smile on her face.

 She explains the last question.

“Inviting Taoist Fellow Xu, one is the organizer of the auction. People like me who invite high-level monks will be given a reward fee, five hundred spirit stones for foundation building, and one thousand and five spirit stones for golden elixir.”

“Both, Daoyou Xu is from a good family, and I also want to make friends with Daoyou Xu, a high-ranking cultivator.”

 Speaking of this, Gong Shulan smiled and said, "The monks have a wide network of contacts and can avoid a lot of troubles. They can also get some more benefits."

The voice fell.

Wei Tu nodded in agreement.

 His success today is indeed inseparable from his connections.

 Fu Lin sent reminder letters twice. After entering the secret realm of Yunze, the protection of Master Kou Hongying and his disciple...

 Golden elixir realm—

Zhao Jiangwu informed Zhengmo of the situation and provided him with a smuggling channel to Kang State.

Without the help of connections, he may still be able to break through the golden elixir today, but it will definitely not be as smooth and easy as it was in the past hundred years.

 “It is indeed Gong Shulan's character that she likes to have a wide network of contacts.” Wei Tu thought to himself.

When he was in the shanty town of Danqiu Mountain, Gong Shulan used the pseudonym "Hu Yao", and his network of relationships spread throughout the shanty town. He knew all the big and small things one by one and knew them well.

 Seeing the Wei picture, I didn't object.

Gong Shulan smiled slightly, took out a jade token from her sleeve, and threw it to Wei Tu, "In one month, the auction will be held. At that time, I will use this jade token to contact Daoist Xu."

After finishing speaking, Gong Shulan flicked her jade sleeves, light condensed under her feet, and she flew away from the cemetery.

soon.

 At the cemetery, only Wei Tu was left.

Wei Tu's spiritual sense inspected the jade token and saw that there was nothing fishy inside, just a simple “communication talisman”, so he relaxed and put it into his storage bag.

"We can't trust Gong Shulan easily. It's best to find a demon cultivator and get some relevant information." Wei Tu looked thoughtful.

Although intuitively, he felt that Gong Shulan would not lie to him about this matter, but there was nothing wrong with being cautious, and it was just a waste of time.

 After refilling the tomb and removing the restrictions inside, Wei Tu flew towards the southeast of Chongshan County.

 Jingguo's practice of cultivating the world of immortality was the same as Zhengguo's “separation of immortals and mortals”.

 But with the invasion of demons, the boundaries between immortals and mortals gradually blurred.

 Therefore, Changshan County, a large mundane city, is also home to many demonic monks.

 Among them, there are many golden elixir demon cultivators.

After arriving at the county seat of Changshan County, Wei Tu made some inquiries and came to a deep courtyard in the west of the city.

This house was originally owned by a wealthy family named Sun, but decades ago, it was occupied by a non-traditional evil cultivator named "Qian Hong".

 Qian Hong killed the wealthy family surnamed Sun, and first took possession of the wife of the wealthy family named Sun Xing, Sun Zhao. After Sun Zhao's age and beauty faded, he also took possession of his daughter.

Wei Tu was in Changshan County. When he heard this rumor, he mistakenly thought that Qian Hong was a little devil, and then he was doing such an uninterrupted flow.

I never thought that Qian Hong was actually a magic repair in the later stages of the foundation. In the nearby region, he was famous.

 On this day, it is midnight.

 A green shadow followed the courtyard wall and entered the mansion instantly.

After entering the courtyard, the pace of the cyan figure slowed down, but strangely, the maids and servants coming and going regarded it as nothing and did not feel anything abnormal at all.

“Strange.” In the courtyard, a beautiful maid was patrolling the night with a lamp. When she was walking, she seemed to see a figure walking in front of her.

 But wait until she looks again.

 This figure has turned into a clump of ancient trees planted beside the courtyard wall.

 Aoki's Breath Condensation Technique!

At this time, Wei Tu, who sneaked into "Sun's house", used the secret technique he had learned from Bao Siyan's "Aoki Breath Condensation Technique".

Although he has not yet mastered this secret technique, it is difficult for him to deceive the golden elixir monks, but it is still easy for him to use this secret technique to deceive one or two mortals and foundation-building monks.

 It couldn't be easier.

 After passing through several courtyards, Wei Tu came to the corner of "Sun's House", a relatively remote courtyard.

 Just walked to the gate of the courtyard.

 He was outside the courtyard and heard the sound of Mi Mi coming from inside the courtyard.

"I'll enjoy it." Wei Tu's consciousness passed through the courtyard wall and saw Qian Hong making a baby with his concubine in the courtyard.

 He raised his hand and released two colorful phantom moths, which entered the courtyard.

 The colorful phantom moth entered the courtyard and immediately sprayed colorful mist on Qian Hong's face.

next moment.

Qian Hong swayed and fell onto the concubine's delicate body beneath him.

"Master? Master?" When the concubine saw Qian Hong motionless, she was frightened. She exclaimed: "Master, it's going to be windy. Master, it's going to be windy."

This concubine was also very frightened.

She didn't expect that immortals could catch wind just like mortals.

"Quiet!" At this moment, Wei Tu from outside the courtyard walked into the courtyard. He glanced at the undressed concubine and frowned.

The mist of the colorful phantom moth is not something that ordinary people can withstand. In order not to hurt anyone, he did not let the colorful phantom moth hypnotize the girl.

"Yes, Immortal... Immortal..." The concubine was frightened and stammered.

Seeing this, Wei Tu shook his head. He put his finger on the concubine's eyebrows, causing her to fall asleep immediately.

Of course, with his disguise method, he is not afraid of being discovered by this concubine. However, the scene behind it was not suitable for this woman to see.

 After using the "Spirit Sealing Talisman" to imprison Qian Hong's mana, Wei Tu woke up Qian Hong.

"Who are you? You dare to attack me. After I report this to Lord Yi Zhen, I will cut you into pieces." After waking up, Qian Hong saw Wei Tu's figure and immediately said with a stern expression.

However, when he felt Wei Tu's aura, his face suddenly changed and he turned slightly pale. There was even some cold sweat on his forehead.

"Senior Jindan?" Qian Hong was startled, his brain was running wildly, trying to remember where he was, offending the senior Wei Tu.

 But I thought about it for a long time.

 He didn't even think about where he had offended Wei Tu.

"Senior, what do you want to do with this junior?" Qian Hong asked anxiously.

If Wei Tu was in the foundation-building realm, and he was imprisoned through conspiracy, he could still use "Yi Zhenjun" to suppress him, but right now, Wei Tu is a genuine Jindan Zhenjun, so he can use "Yi Zhenjun" When it comes to suppressing Wei Tu, there is no wink.

“Xu is looking for you because he wants to inquire about something. If you explain well, Xu will not only let you go, but also reward you heavily.” Wei Tu smiled and patted Qian Hong on the shoulder.

Hearing this, Qian Hong was shocked and suddenly felt a little secretly happy.

—He heard that Wei Tu was not looking for revenge and life from him, but was looking for information from him.

This kind of thing has happened to many monks in the world of immortality.

 Normally, as long as you serve your seniors well, not only will nothing happen, but you will also have a great opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

Hence, this is not a crisis, but an adventure for Qian Hong.

“Senior, whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know.” Qian Hong patted his chest and promised.

“Xu came here and heard from a friend who was traveling with me that an auction will be held here in the near future, and only monks at the foundation-building level and above can participate. Do you know about this?” Wei Tu asked.

 Qian Hong was his carefully selected target.

 Identity is a casual cultivator, in the late stage of realm foundation building, and he is a local snake in Chongshan County.

If Qian Hong didn't know about the auction, what Gong Shulan said was a deliberate attempt to deceive him.

"Senior, what you said was the auction held by the "Yunyan Chamber of Commerce"? Junior, I also received an invitation a few days ago." Qian Hong said without thinking after hearing this.

 Yunyan Chamber of Commerce?

 Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, guessing what the origin of this chamber of commerce was, and how it had the ability to hold a high-profile auction.

 Previously, he had never heard of the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce in the Jingguo area.

“Senior, are you doubting the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce?” Qian Hong, an old man, guessed what Wei Tu was thinking at this time. He raised his head cautiously and tried to ask.

"Oh? Do you know the origin of Yunyan Chamber of Commerce?" Wei Tu looked at Qian Hong with great interest.

"Junior once heard Yi Zhenjun talk about it by chance. The Yunyan Chamber of Commerce is an alliance of the major chambers of commerce of the three bordering countries of the Righteous Path. Taking advantage of the war between good and evil, they buy and resell." Qian Hong saw that Wei Tu gave him a chance to show off. , rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

“That's it.” Wei Tu felt relieved and nodded.

 Throughout the ages, war has been an opportunity for major chambers of commerce to make a fortune. Although the Yunyan Chamber of Commerce is an alliance of the Righteous Chamber of Commerce, the word "profit" cannot escape everything. I will never let go of the magic business.

 After asking about the auction.

Weitu thought for a moment, selected a bottle of elixir from Master Shu's elixir collection, and threw it to Qian Hong.

“These are three cloud-containing pills, second-level high-grade pills. I will give them to you as a gift from Xu,” Wei Tu said generously.

 Decades ago, after killing Master Shu Dan, Wei Tu obtained a large number of second-level elixirs from Master Shu Dan's storage bag.

However, Wei Tu was worried about the "poisonous elixirs", so he never dared to take these elixirs, nor did he dare to sell them and poison other monks... so he always "forgot" these elixirs in the storage bag.

Now, Wei Tu takes these pills to reward Qian Hong, a demonic monk, and has no such worries.

 If Qian Hong died of poisoning.

The worst thing about Wei Tu is that he needs another demon cultivator to be his informant.

“Thank you, Senior Xu.” Qian Hong took the elixir bottle and said with great surprise.

“Senior Xu, do you have any other instructions?” Qian Hong collected the elixir and bent down to ask.

 He did not think that the bit of information he had just provided was worth a bottle of second-grade high-grade elixir.

"Xu was entrusted by someone to come to Changshan County to find the descendants of an ancestor. You can go and find one or two on Xu's behalf. If you find anything, you will be rewarded heavily."

Wei Tu opened his mouth and promised.
