I Am a Late Bloomer In the World of Immortality Chapter 617

Chapter 617: The ambition of the Luqiu clan, Bai Zhixian goes away (4k, please subscribe)

In three years' time, Lu Qiu Qingfeng, the crown prince, will replace his father Lu Qiu Yeming and take over as the head of the Donghua Demon Kingdom.

This letter was an invitation letter sent to him by this woman, inviting him to participate in the succession ceremony.

“More than a hundred years have passed.”

Wei Tu counted with his fingers and thought.

Time flies, and it seems that Luqiu Qingfeng succeeded in seizing the throne and assumed the position of crown prince not long ago, but in fact, more than a hundred years have passed since then. It's just that he has been practicing for a long time. In his heart, it is almost the same as yesterday.

“I wonder what the Jishan Sect thinks?”

Weitu has a good sense of politics. After he got this talisman letter, he did not have the idea of going to the Luqiu clan for a banquet immediately, but planned to check the attitude of the Jishan sect first.

Donghua Demon Kingdom is the first force under the Jishan Sect.

Now, Luqiu Qingfeng succeeds as the head of the country...

Logically speaking, the Jishan Sect will also send people to participate, and the candidate to participate in the succession ceremony of the king is very likely to fall on him.

First, he has a close relationship with Luqiu Qingfeng and is an acquaintance.

Whether the Jishan sect has other agendas or is just a liaison, if he goes as a "special envoy", he will reduce administrative costs and get twice the result with half the effort.

Both of them, at this moment, he can be regarded as a direct descendant of Sect Leader Zhu.

Zhu Zongzhu sent someone to visit the Luqiu clan. There is no reason why he would ignore his direct lineage and go to find other people.

It was useless to think too much, and Wei Tu no longer worried. He waved his sleeves and robes, opened the door of the cave, and rushed straight to the main hall of the sect where Master Zhu was.

　　“Well…in this case…”

After knowing Wei Tu's intention of coming, Sect Master Zhu did not reply immediately, but showed some hesitation on his face.

After a while, he sighed deeply and started talking to Wei Tu.

“Junior Brother Wei, what is the status of your relationship with Luqiu Qingfeng?”

Sect Master Zhu asked in a deep voice.

"The relationship between?"

Hearing this, Wei Tu was startled for a moment, not knowing whether to answer truthfully. After all, Luqiu Qingfeng's trust in him already exceeded this woman's trust in the Luqiu clan.

Luqiu Qingfeng was the leader of the country who was promoted to the throne after he eliminated his rival "Luqiu Jinyuan".

“What does the sect master mean by this?”

Wei Tu did not answer the question directly, but planned to test the tone of Sect Leader Zhu first.

The voice fell.

Zhu Zongzhu didn't think much about this and continued to show off. Instead, he directly told Wei Tu the difficulties he encountered.

“Junior Brother Wei, according to the report of the traitor I placed in Xiaohuan Palace, Master Tong intends to issue an edict to allow the fourth disciple Dugutian to marry Luqiu Qingfeng as a Taoist couple to deepen the relationship between the two factions.”

Zhu Zongzhu shook his head and said.

“What? Master Tong issued an edict?”

Wei Tu was surprised. He did not expect that Venerable Tong would favor the Luqiu clan so much that he actually asked his fourth disciple Dugutian to marry Luqiu Qingfeng as a Taoist companion.

It's no wonder that Sect Leader Zhu is worried about this.

Previously, although the relationship between Tong Zunzun and the Luqiu clan was good, and the Luqiu clan was regarded as another mother clan, there had never been such a high-level marriage between the two parties.

One is the leader of the Luqiu clan.

One is a highly valued personal disciple of Venerable Tong.

Once the two parties successfully marry, can the Donghua Demon Kingdom still be regarded as a subordinate force of the Jishan Sect?

From then on, it was only a matter of time before the Luqiu clan changed its banner.

“It is very possible that Venerable Tong acted like this because our faction persecuted the Luqiu clan too much more than 20 years ago…”

Speaking of this, Sect Leader Zhu glanced at Wei Tu intentionally or unintentionally.

More than twenty years ago, if Wei Tu had not intervened, causing the Jishan sect to be in civil strife and losing the great opportunity to target the Luqiu clan, the situation today would not be like this.

Of course, neither he nor the Jishan Sect would blame Wei Tu for what happened in the past.

The Jishan Sect is not so stingy.

After all, Wei Tu acted righteously and helped Palace Master Luo rescue Luo Mingzhen, which was in line with justice and could not be said to be wrong.

The blame can only be attributed to the fact that the thunder was hidden inside the door.

Furthermore—

If it weren't for this reason, the power of his sect leader's line would not have expanded since then, annexing the Hall of Merit, and would not have been lucky enough to pick up Wei Tu, a "genius". It can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

Hearing this, Wei Tu finally understood what "shooting oneself in the foot" meant.

All the cultivators of the Jishan Sect know that he was promoted from the worship of the Luqiu clan to the worship elder of the sect, and then gained power in one fell swoop and sat in the position of the master of the Hall of Merit.

Now, if the Luqiu clan "changes its banner", it will definitely have a great impact on his future reputation within the Jishan Sect.

One sentence.

Since then, it has been difficult for him to stand up straight.

One or two days is fine.

As time goes by, I am afraid that Sect Master Zhu and Venerable Hanyue will gradually increase their distrust of him.

However, Wei Tu has no regrets about this.

Without the previous "chaos", how could he, a casual cultivator from the outside world, have a chance to rise to the top?

As for the crisis…

He will try his best to solve it.

Even if in the end, it was really a done deal and the Luqiu clan rebelled and went to Xiao Huan Palace, he only had to hold on for two or three hundred years until he transformed into a god.

—With the proceeds from raiding the Merit Palace, his wealth is sufficient to cut the estimated life span of his transformation into a **** in half from four hundred years.

"Wei and Luqiu Qingfeng... are close friends. We should be able to persuade this woman to give up her marriage to Xiao Huan Gong."

Wei Tu pondered for a moment and then replied.

Whether he is sure about this trip or not, this attitude should be expressed now, but it still needs to be expressed.

The voice fell.

Zongzhu Zhu's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction.

"However, there are no absolutes. If you can't convince this woman, Junior Brother Wei, just crush this token."

Sect Master Zhu took out a red token from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu.

Weitu is a talisman master, and at a glance he discovered the communication talisman hiding the "action" command from inside this red token.

He immediately understood that it was Sect Master Zhu who had murderous intentions towards Lu Qiu Qingfeng, but he just didn't tell him clearly.

Now, the Jishan faction wants to solve this crisis.

There are only two ways.

1. Advise the Luqiu clan to give up.

Second, kill Luqiu Qingfeng, the marriage partner.

The former is gentle and the latter is tough.

The Jishan Sect is not afraid of losing the Luqiu clan as an external influence. What they are afraid of is the impact that the Luqiu clan will have on other external influences after they rebel.

This is no less than shaking the foundation of the Jishan sect's rule.

This point is extremely unbearable for the Jishan Sect.

After killing Luqiu Qingfeng, regardless of whether Xiaohuangong still insisted on marrying with the Luqiu clan, the Jishan Sect had already acted as a deterrent to all relevant forces.

“Wei understands that he will never let the sect master down.”

Wei Tu makes a pun.

After leaving the main hall of Jishan Sect.

Wei Tu did not return to the Hall of Merit, but immediately rushed to the ultrlong-distance teleportation array of the Jishan Sect leading to the Red Algae Sea.

Even though Luqiu Qingfeng's temperament was a little cold, he didn't want to have a close relationship with this woman, but... they were just friends after all, and he didn't want her to die and be killed by the Jishan Sect.

In addition, the direction of this matter will also greatly affect his "future" within the Jishan Sect. It is impossible for him not to be cautious about this.

A few days later.

Hurrying down quickly, Wei Tu successfully arrived at Yuanjun Island.

However, after hurriedly returning to Yuanjun Island, he did not rush to find Luqiu Qingfeng to persuade the woman. Instead, he escaped and went to the Luqiu clan's worship hall first.

—As a "senior" member of Shangzong, Luqiu Qingfeng would be treating him poorly if he did not pay homage to him after he came to Yuanjun Island.

Whoever sees whom first...

This order of meetings is also a negotiation technique.

Seeing Wei Tu "returning to his hometown", all the worshipers in the worship hall immediately flew out and stepped forward to greet Wei Tu.

　Today.

Things are no longer what they used to be.

Weitu, the master of the Hall of Merit and Virtue, has a much higher status under the order of the Jishan Sect than the subordinate forces of the Luqiu clan.

Even the strongest person in the Luqiu clan, the "King of the Luqiu people", must treat Wei Tu with courtesy and dare not show any disrespect.

Let alone the offerings in these shrines.

Whether it is realm strength or power status, they are far inferior to Wei Tu.

“Fortunately, I had good eyesight back then.”

Among the cultivators who complimented Wei Tu in the enshrining hall, the Lord of the Second Mountain was the most excited. When he was in Wulao Mountain, he abdicated the throne to Wei Tu and made way for him.

　　Although the kindness of this encounter is not great, in front of Wei Tu, he is definitely a person with good standing.

“You fellow Taoists are ridiculous. Wei just joined the Jishan Sect by luck and was favored by Sect Leader Zhu.”

Weitu remains modest as always.

“After Wei returns to the cave to rest for a few days, I will visit you one after another.”

He said.

Hearing this, the monks in the worship hall complimented him, immediately stopped pestering him, and left one after another in a sensible manner.

“These are some of Wei's thoughts on Fu Dao. Lord Ershan can take a look at them.”

Wei Tu stopped the second mountain master, took out a jade slip from his arms, and stuffed it into it.

Different from him.

The Second Mountain Lord has mediocre talent in immortal arts. After joining the Luqiu clan, he has been depressed.

After his persuasion, I changed to Fu Dao.

Now, his attainments in Talisman Dao have reached the level of the fourth level. The gift of the recent experience will bring a lot of benefits to the Second Mountain Master in his cultivation of Talisman.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist Wei.”

Upon hearing this, the face of the Second Mountain Master, who was holding the jade slip in his hand, suddenly became excited, and he quickly nodded in thanks.

He knows the goods.

In the celestial art of Talismanism, in addition to the precious paper and spiritual ink used to draw talismans, the most precious thing is the method of making talismans and the experience of the talisman master.

For him, it is not difficult to find the ordinary fourth-level talisman-making methods, but the experience of a high-level talisman master is extremely difficult to find, because these experiences are family secrets.

Apart from word of mouth from father to son, master and disciple, few monks would leak it out.

In other words, what Wei Tu gave him was no different from the inheritance of a precious fourth-level high-grade Talisman Master.

“You and I are from the same school, so why talk too much.”

Wei Tu smiled and emphasized the word "fellow disciple".

Although Wulaoshan is a scattered cultivating force and not worth mentioning, it is also his real foundation.

If the second mountain lord hadn't abdicated in favor of a worthy man, it would undoubtedly have been difficult for him to win it without bloodshed.

After chatting with the two mountain masters for a while.

Wei Tu said goodbye and returned to his cave in the worship hall.

But as soon as he returned to the cave, his face showed a bit of loneliness, which was in great contrast to the "satisfaction" he had just outside the cave.

There is no other reason. Wei Tu is already in this cave and cannot find any breath of Bai Zhi.

“Master passed away four years ago.”

A beautiful girl came over with a sad look on her face and bowed to Wei Tu gracefully.

This woman is none other than Xu Yuqi, the body that Wei Tu arranged for Bai Zhi to take away her body.

It's just that because Bai Zhi didn't have long life and had benevolent thoughts in her heart, she didn't completely take away the girl and still kept her soul.

“The fairy has gone…”

Hearing these expected words, Wei Tu sighed softly, and the look of loneliness on his face became even stronger.

Happiness and anger cannot be expressed in words. With his Qi nourishing skills, he can easily do this.

But it was in front of outsiders and in his own cave, so he didn't need to act like this.

Besides, Bai Zhi was also an "old friend" who had been with him for five hundred years. It was impossible to say that he could not be moved by the passing of this woman.

From the early days of Jindan...

To the present late Nascent Soul period.

Although this woman has been absent in the past, she is indeed the person beside him who has witnessed his growth in immortality for the longest time.

In a sense, Bai Zhi is closer than his biological children. At least for some secret matters, he will avoid Wei Yan and his sister, but not Bai Zhi.

“The Immortal Way has longevity. If you want to live forever, you have no choice but to work hard step by step!”

Wei Tu closed his eyes slightly, feeling something in his heart.

Four hundred foundations and eight hundred golden elixirs.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these people have long lifespans, but in the eyes of monks at a higher level, they are just short-lived ghosts.

Even though Yuan Ying's life span has reached thousands, monks who are good at extending life, such as the ancestor of Scorpio, can live to be four thousand years old.

However, his lifespan is probably only a blink of an eye for monks in heaven, earth, and higher realms.

After giving Bai Zhi silent mourning for a while.

Wei Tu opened his eyes and looked at Xu Yuqi again.

“Have you become a disciple of Bai Zhi?”

He asked questions knowingly and stirred up the topic. .

Although this woman is still in the realm of Qi training, after absorbing the "heritage" caused by the disintegration of Bai Zhi's soul, this woman's soul realm is already in the golden elixir realm, and her potential is pretty good.

“Yes, my servant has become a disciple of Lord Bai. Lord Bai ordered me to serve my ancestor well.”

Hearing Wei Tu's question, Xu Yuqi lowered his head and replied with a trembling voice.

Even though her master Bai Zhi said that Patriarch Wei was a very docile person, as long as she behaved better, she would be able to survive and not die.

But the truth is this…

Facing a master who could easily decide her life or death, how could she not be frightened and worried about him?

“This is a soul contract, sign it.”

Hearing this, Wei Tu didn't say much, and used his spiritual consciousness to condense a soul bond, which fell in front of Xu Yuqi in the form of a jade slip.

Since it was Bai Zhi's last words not to kill Xu Yuqi, he didn't mind fulfilling his old friend's small wish.

With his longevity, it would be easy for him to kill this woman.

If this woman makes good use of her talent and reaches the realm of golden elixir or even Nascent Soul...then he won't mind having an obedient "death warrior" around her.

He really needs a soul servant in the Jishan Sect to help him handle chores so that he can concentrate on his practice.

“Yes, Patriarch Wei.”

Hearing this, Xu Yuqi felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately signed the soul contract with joy on his face, invited this "jade slip" into his sea of consciousness, and actively controlled it by Wei Tu.
