Chapter 118 Zhao Qingluo’s visit, status improvement (please subscribe)
“That’s right, it would be great if casual cultivators can have such a strange foundation-building method. How can they worry about the consequences of shortening their life span by fifty years?”
Wei Tu’s expression softened slightly.
It is difficult for most casual cultivators to obtain a "Foundation Pill", let alone a "Foundation Pill" to build the foundation.
Compared to the 20% increase in the probability of foundation building, the fifty years of lifespan reduced by the demon foundation building method is really not worth mentioning.
He Lianxiong did not explain to him the consequences of this unusual foundation-building method in advance, which was indeed deceptive, but it was not a big mistake.
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu took out two high-quality demon refining talismans again, used mana together with the high-quality demon refining talisman placed on the coffee table, and sent them to He Lianxiong.
“Three high-quality demon refining talismans should be enough for Fellow Daoist Helian to use.”
Weitu took a sip of tea.
“That’s enough, that’s enough.” He Lianxiong’s face suddenly became overjoyed when he saw these three talismans.
At that time, what he gave Wei Tu was only the method of making the demon refining talisman and the first-level talisman master inheritance passed down from Taoist companion Tong Peipei's ancestors.
The need for subsequent drawing of the "refining demon" is to bear the strength of Wei Tu.
The cost involved...even if Wei Tu is a genius talisman master, it is estimated to be a lot.
At least a few hundred spiritual stones.
If there are too many, thousands of spirit stones will not be able to stop them.
Now that Wei Tu is in a superior position, he is willing to give him three high-quality demon refining talismans for trading. This is really his luck.
Far beyond his expectations.
Thinking of this, He Lianxiong gritted his teeth, took out another jade slip from his body, and handed it to Wei Tu.
He said: "Senior Wei, my ancestors have done a lot of research on the consequences of this demonic foundation-building method... This jade slip is some way to reduce the consequences. Please accept it, Senior Wei."
The method of building the foundation of the demon soul is divided into two parts: upper and lower.
The upper part is the method of building the foundation.
The following part is a method to eliminate future troubles.
The blood-colored jade slips he gave to Wei Tu before were only the upper part of the demon's foundation-building method.
The next part—
If Wei Tu tried to rob him, coerce or induce him, he would not hand over this part under any circumstances.
“How to reduce future troubles?” When Wei Tu heard He Lianxiong’s words, he secretly sighed that he was lucky.
Had he not always adhered to the principle of "doing things kindly", I am afraid that the second half of this unusual foundation building would have missed him.
…
Just sent He Lianxiong away.
At the entrance of Luoxueyuan, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman appeared.
“Congratulations to Senior Wei for building a hundred years of foundation and becoming a role model for our casual cultivators in Danqiu Mountain…”
The person who came was none other than "Shen Yao", the steward of Baibao Pavilion. He held a congratulatory gift in his hand and expressed congratulations to Wei Tu.
“This is all thanks to Fairy Kou.”
Wei Tu accepted the gift and blamed Kou Hongying for the reason for his success in foundation building.
He believed that most of the casual cultivators in Danqiu Mountain believed that his ability to build the foundation was inseparable from Kou Hongying's help.
However, he was also happy with it.
This matter is harmless to Kou Hongying, but it is very beneficial to himself.
Weitu invited Shen Yao to take a seat at the entrance and made some spiritual tea to entertain Shen Yao.
"It seems that Wei Tu didn't know that the last time I invited him to explore Xiaoyao Mountain was to rob and kill him." Seeing the enthusiasm on Wei Tu's face, Shen Yao felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yao pretended to be calm.
After taking a few sips of tea, he took out an invitation, leaned forward, bowed slightly, handed it to Wei Tu with both hands, and said:
“Senior Wei, in half a month, the auction will be held every five years at Baibao Pavilion…”
“This is an invitation to the auction and a ticket to a box on the third floor…”
Box ticket?
Wei Tu was slightly surprised, and reached out to take the invitation from Shen Yao, as well as the box ticket included in the invitation.
When he saw Shen Yao, he thought Shen Yao was just testing his voice to see if he had a grudge.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yao made this trip in person to send him an invitation to the Baibao Pavilion auction.
“This is the status of Zhuji Zhenren.”
Wei Tu sighed secretly.
Before the foundation was built, Shen Yao, the manager of Baibao Pavilion, had a much higher status than him as a Talisman Master.
In Danqiu Mountain, he belongs to a class of people with head and face.
How can you do errands?
Chatted for a while.
Shen Yao brought the topic to the "Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce", a subordinate force of Baibao Pavilion.
“Although Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the three major immortal sects and the seven major immortal cultivating families, it has strong financial resources..."
“Senior Wei, if you want to join the immortal cultivating force, you may consider the Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce...”
“The juniors can introduce you on your behalf.”
Shen Yao said with a smile.
Wei Tu nodded without commenting.
He knew clearly that if the Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce wanted to recruit him, the lobbyist they sent would never be a Qi-training monk like Shen Yao.
Without substantive conditions, how could he easily express his position?
Shen Yao said this because he was just habitually soliciting business for himself. After all, persuading a Foundation Establishment Master to join the Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce would bring him a lot of personal benefits.
About Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce.
Wei Tu also learned something about it through the jade slips Kou Hongying gave him.
Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce is a medium-sized chamber of commerce jointly founded by three major foundation-building families. It has stores in several cities including Danqiu Mountain.
It recruits casual cultivators to build foundations, and the treatment they provide is generally very good.
However, Wei Tu has no intention of joining this chamber of commerce.
The next level after foundation building is the golden elixir.
In the past few hundred years, without exception, none of the casual cultivators who joined the Establishment Family have achieved the Golden Elixir realm.
They are all wasting their time in the foundation building realm.
Until death.
On the contrary, two of the casual cultivators who joined the Jindan family have achieved the Jindan realm, become the ancestors of the Jindan family, and enjoy freedom.
This information is not a big secret in the world of Zheng Guo’s immortality.
certainly.
Time rolls upward.
It is not necessarily true that none of the casual cultivators who join the Jiji family will achieve the Golden Elixir.
However, Wei Tu would not bet on such a small probability.
Joining the Golden elixir family may not provide you with the same benefits as the Foundation-building family, nor may you have as much say as in the Foundation-building family, but one advantage is that the platform is large enough—you can see the possibility of becoming a Golden elixir.
…
That’s it.
Shen Yao saw Wei Tu drinking tea with his head down, looking uninterested. He promptly said goodbye, got up and left.
It is different from sending Helianxiong.
Weitu did not send Shen Yao who came to visit.
He Lianxiong and him were considered friends, while Shen Yao and him were only casual acquaintances.
Sending Shen Yao out in person would be a loss of status for a real person like him.
Shen Yao leaned over and walked out of Luoxueyuan. When he stepped out of the cave door, he straightened up and took a deep breath.
However, just when he looked up, he saw a girl in a white dress suddenly appeared in front of him...
Subconsciously, Shen Yao bent down again.
“Shen pays homage to Senior Zhao.”
Shen Yao endured the pain and said.
This sudden scene almost broke his old waist.
"Wei Tu went into seclusion?" Zhao Qingluo looked at Shen Yao and said indifferently.
Half a year ago, the news of Wei Tu’s foundation building reached the Qiyue Zhao family from Danqiu Mountain.
Because she has an old relationship with Wei Tu, the family entrusted her with the task of recruiting Wei Tu this time.
It’s just that today is different from the past.
She visited Wei Tu in order to win over and recruit Wei Tu. She couldn't just rush into Luoxueyuan without any care, so she could only wait patiently outside the cave. “Senior Wei is out of seclusion.”
Shen Yao nodded and responded quickly.
…
Wait for Shen Yao to leave.
Zhao Qingluo thought for a moment. She did not knock on the door immediately to ask for an audience. Instead, she took out a talisman and sent it to Luoxue Courtyard.
Getting started with Waiting for Letters.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Qingluo saw Wei Tu going out to greet him, and then her hidden body was revealed and she stood in front of Wei Tu.
“It seems that the princess came at the right time, just when the Talisman Guard Master came out of seclusion..."
Zhao Qingluo smiled.
“This humble house is humble, and I would like to be the host... Please invite Princess Qingluo... to dine in the private room of Jingyun Residence..."
Wei Tu bowed his hands in a gesture of defiance.
His cave still lurks the "cracking sculpture" that took away Zhao Qingluo's storage bag.
Wei Tu doesn't know whether Zhao Qingluo has the same method as him, and can use the "Xiangluo Nose" to identify smells and track down the enemy.
You should naturally be careful about this.
Although he is confident that even if Zhao Qingluo knows what happened back then, it will not pose any great threat to him, but if it can be avoided, it is better to avoid it as much as possible.
Wei Tu’s words sounded familiar to Zhao Qingluo. It seemed that Wei Tu had also said these words when he met her for the first time decades ago.
“Please, the Talisman Guard Master.”
Zhao Qingluo nodded slightly and stepped forward to lead the way, "This time, I can do it myself, not the Talisman Guard."
Concubine?
Hearing Zhao Qingluo’s self-effacing words.
Wei Tu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He remembered that when Zhao Qingluo got along with him decades ago, there was "this princess" on the left and "this princess" on the right. Their arrogance was palpable.
Now, she actually apologized to him and called him my concubine.
Such an appearance reminded Wei Tu of the scenes in which Zhao Qingluo lost her composure after being hit by the "Aphrodisiac". The contrast was huge.
The two of them came to Jingyunju’s private room.
Zhao Qingluo ordered a table of good noodles.
“Master of Talisman Guards, I don’t want to show off any more. This time I come to see Talisman Guard Masters in order to recruit Talisman Guard Masters... to join my Qiyue Zhao family..."
After sitting down, Zhao Qingluo got straight to the point and directly stated her purpose.
“If Master Wei is willing, the Qiyue Zhao family can not only give Master Wei a set of second-level Talisman inheritance…”
“The concubine, the second-level cave, the exercises, the magical weapons, etc., all the cultivation needs will be given to the Talisman Guard accordingly.”
Zhao Qingluo set out the conditions.
This treatment is very generous. It can be said that as long as Wei Tu joins the Qiyue Zhao family, he will own all the "law couple's wealth" in the world of immortality.
But Wei Tu was very calm.
Even without Kou Hongying's reminder, the two major families of the Jindan family, the Qiyue Zhao family and the Chisong Jia family, were the two families that he would immediately exclude and refuse to join.
He did not want to die in the battle between these two families.
The Qiyue Zhao family offered him a higher price.
On the contrary, he wanted to refuse more and more.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
“Wei’s qualifications are low, and he is lucky enough to be able to build the foundation now… I don’t want to drag down the Zhao family because of this…”
Wei Tu carefully considered his words and declined politely.
Unexpectedly.
Zhao Qingluo didn’t seem to understand what Wei Tu said.
She frowned slightly and said: "Master Wei Talisman has been building the foundation for a hundred years. In terms of qualifications, he is not as good as some geniuses, but he is still considered to have considerable potential in the Jindan family..."
“There is no need to be too modest about such things.”
Zhao Qingluo waved her hand.
The voice fell.
Wei Tu is one of them.
He thought for a moment and decided to speak more plainly.
“The princess’s family and the Chisong Jia family are at odds with each other. They have been fighting for many years. They are a place of right and wrong.”
“Not only Wei, but other foundation-building casual cultivators, if they want to join the immortal cultivating force, the first thing they should exclude... is the princess family and the Chisong Jia family..."
As soon as this sentence came out.
Zhao Qingluo's face looked more thoughtful.
"I see."
After a long time, Zhao Qingluo sighed.
Before she came, she was still wondering why the clan leader offered Wei Tu such a high condition. Now that she thought about it, it turned out to be because the Qiyue Zhao family had reached a "precarious" situation in the eyes of casual cultivators.
“Which family does the Talisman Master intend to join in the future? I can help the Talisman Master make some plans.”
Zhao Qingluo rolled her eyes and remembered what the clan leader had told her before she left.
—Wei Tu can’t be persuaded to join the Qiyue Zhao family, but Wei Tu can be persuaded to join a family that has good relations with their Qiyue Zhao family.
“Wei has not decided yet.”
Weitu shook his head, refusing to tell his true plan.
It is a big taboo to make shallow friends and talk deeply.
"What about the Huang family in Heshan? This Jindan family has good relations with my Zhao family. There has been no war for many years."
Zhao Qingluo said bluntly.
"Wei will give more consideration to this Jindan family." Wei Tu said perfunctorily.
The conversation between the two quickly chilled the atmosphere in the box.
The two of them ate in silence.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Qingluo took the initiative and said: "Master Wei Talisman, as long as you don't join the Chisong Jia family's camp... In the future, I can make the decision for your second-level talismans on behalf of the family, so go and purchase more."
Hearing that there was a profit, Wei Tu couldn't help but relax. He said: "Wei and Princess Qingluo are old acquaintances. I don't want to be on the opposite side of the princess. If I join the Xiuxian family, I will definitely not choose Chisong." The Jia family’s camp.”
After getting this reply.
Zhao Qingluo did not stay in Jingyunju's box for long and left with satisfaction.
…
After Zhao Qingluo left.
Weitu met envoys sent by several other major cultivating families one after another.
The conditions offered to Wei Tu by these major immortal cultivating families are not as high as those offered by the Qiyue Zhao family, but they are not bad.
The second-level talisman master inheritance and second-level immortal cultivation techniques that Wei Tu urgently needed were only the basic conditions provided by these major immortal cultivation families.
But Wei Tu is no exception.
There is no clear answer to these major cultivating families.
Instead, he waits for the price and waits for a certain cultivating family to offer him better and higher treatment.
time flies.
Soon, it was time for the auction held every five years in Baibao Pavilion.
This auction.
The "Condensation Pill" that Wei Tu never forgot about before building the foundation appeared.
This Condensation Pill will be auctioned as the final treasure at the end of the auction.
“One thousand one hundred spirit stones.”
In the private room on the third floor, Wei Tu bid for it.
I saw a bid from Ji Zhu Zhenren.
The atmosphere in the hall on the second floor was silent. All the cultivators looked at each other, and the several monks who made bids also had hesitant expressions on their faces.
If they follow the price after Master Zhuji, there is undoubtedly the possibility of offending Master Zhuji.
If this Master of Foundation Establishment is short-sighted, they may be in danger of life and death.
PS: It’s my mom’s birthday today, so I can’t spare the time, so I only have one update, sorry.
