Chapter 213 Seeking inheritance, Master’s reaction (4k first update)
Hearing this explanation, Wei Tu's expression softened a little, but he did not agree to Qi Chengchu.
"What Taoist Qi said is sincere." Wei Tu considered his words and said slowly: "It's just that... Wei was favored by Huang Xinglie when he came out of the Yunze Secret Realm. Now if he helps Taoist Qi seek to seize the Huang family's inheritance, he will inevitably be criticized. "
He has just broken through the Golden Core realm and is still far away from the Nascent Soul realm. Going to help the Sanxian Alliance complete this matter will only bring him limited benefits, and it will also ruin his reputation.
Weitu will not be stupid about this.
However, at this point, Wei Tu changed his words again: "If fellow Taoist Qi wants to obtain the inheritance of the Huang family, he does not necessarily have to steal it secretly, but may trade it."
“Now, Huang Xinglie is injured and dying, and the Huang family in Heshan is in danger. If we, the Sanxian Alliance, lend a helping hand to him, the Huang family will not sit back and wait for the family to be destroyed.”
"Wei is willing to go to the Huang family in Heshan to lobby on behalf of the Sanxian Alliance, and trade the Huang family's formation inheritance from Huang Xinglie's hands."
Struggling to say no will offend others.
It would be more appropriate for him to reject it first and then propose another method.
This is also true.
After Wei Tu’s remedial words were spoken, the tense atmosphere in the attic relaxed a little.
“The strategy proposed by fellow Wei Daoists is well-organized and in line with the righteous way of doing things.”
“It’s just too ideal.”
Qi Chengchu bluntly denied it.
His voice was slightly cold and he said, "What if the Huang family refuses? A rash deal will only scare the enemy and make the Huang family more vigilant."
After finishing speaking, Qi Chengchu stood up and walked to the attic window, looking down at the rockeries in the mansion garden and the various spiritual flowers in bloom.
“Instead of making a deal, success or failure lies between two people. As for secretly plotting, the Sanxian Alliance... will only succeed, not fail.”
Qi Chengchu's tone was indifferent, and he no longer showed himself to be a humble gentleman in front of others.
…
Half a day later.
Wei Tu flew out of Qi Mansion.
After Qi Chengchu expressed his unwillingness to trade with the Huang family, Wei Tu could not persuade him any more. After all, he and the Heshan Huang family had long since severed their ties with each other. It was already on his mind to say a kind word to the Heshan Huang family. An old flame.
Fortunately, thanks to this, Qi Chengchu no longer asked Wei Tu to continue to interfere with the Huang family's affairs, but turned to talk to Wei Tu about the "noisy affairs" within the Sanxian Alliance.
Therefore, after chatting for a long time, Wei Tu promptly said goodbye and left Qi Mansion.
“The Huang family’s matter is not only an entrustment to me by Qi Chengchu, but also a test for me?”
Back at the mansion, Wei Tupin listened to the conversation between Qi Chengchu and him, and thought to himself.
Having stayed in the Sanxian League for so long, he has long known that many of the Jindan True Lords in the Sanxian League are not of the same mind.
Within the Sanxian Alliance, based on the origin of Jindan Zhenjun, they can be roughly divided into two factions, one is the Zhengguo faction, and the other is the Jingguo faction.
For example, Qi Chengchu, Che Gongwei, Bao Siyan and others whom Wei Tu came into contact with were Jin Dan Zhenjun who belonged to the Yasukuni faction.
More than forty years ago, it was precisely because of the increasing conflicts between the two factions that some wise people proposed that the two factions recruit each other's disciples to increase the cohesion of the Sanxian Alliance and cultivate new forces.
At that time, Wei Tu also benefited from this, and as a casual cultivator of Zheng Guo, he became a disciple of Che Zhenjun.
Now, as the first "new disciple" to stand out as True Lord Jindan, Wei Tu's identity is very sensitive.
Therefore, when Qi Chengchu invited him to discuss the Huang family's affairs this time, he most likely wanted him to express his stance and recruit him into the inner circle of the Jingguo faction... But unexpectedly, he seemed to have said the wrong thing about the Huang family's affairs and refused. Qi Chengchu’s request.
"What does the factional struggle have to do with me? If you say the wrong thing, you say the wrong thing." Wei Tu didn't take it seriously. He was an ascetic monk and didn't care about fighting for power.
The Sanxian Alliance is now only a quasi-Nascent Soul force. Even if the two major factions exclude him from entering the "core circle", they will still give him high-level treatment.
As long as the strength is enough.
Not only will the centrists not be rejected, but they will try their best to be attracted by the two factions.
As for targeting him…
No matter how stupid the two major factions of the Sanxian Alliance are, they will not cut off one arm in this troubled world.
Once something happens to him, it also means that the conflict between the two factions will be completely difficult to reconcile. The Sanxian Alliance can also be disbanded.
"But when it comes to third-level inheritance..." Wei Tu touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
He now has three complete third-level inheritances, namely "Shenmu Yuan Gong", "Sha Demon True Skill", and the third-level alchemy master inheritance obtained from Master Shu Dan.
—"Xuan Ming Yin Fire" He only has the first three levels of skills, which is not complete.
The golden elixir monk who just broke through can have three complete third-level inheritances, which is considered good. Unfortunately, he is a Talisman Master, and he only lacks the subsequent third-level Talisman Master inheritance.
"The inheritance of the third-level Talisman Master is the lifeblood of the Talisman Master. Although I worship Che Gongwei as my teacher, this is only a superficial friendship..."
Wei Tu had a troubled look on his face.
He did not think that Che Gongwei would give him his inheritance easily.
After all...if he relied on Che Gongwei's Talisman Master inheritance to advance to the third level Talisman Master, he would be in a competitive relationship with Che Gongwei in the ecological niche.
"There are also various secret techniques that match "Shenmu Yuan Gong", but I don't have them either."
Wei Tu sighed secretly.
The difficulty of casual cultivation lies in this. Without a teacher, every step forward would be faced with the dilemma of "no way forward".
“First write to these two masters to see if they are willing to teach. Even if there is a price, it is better than having nothing at all.”
Thinking of this, Wei Tu wrote a letter and sent the housekeeper "Du Wenshu" to deliver the two letters to the residences of Che Gongwei and Bao Siyan respectively.
After writing the letter.
Weitu returned to the training room and began to practice the "Shen Demon True Skill".
Before breaking through the golden elixir, his legal body cultivation reached the peak of foundation building.
Now, the golden elixir has been broken for the first time. In a short period of time, it was obviously difficult for him to increase his strength through Qi training.
Therefore, raising the body cultivation level to the third level is the only shortcut for Wei Tu to increase his strength at this moment.
In addition, practicing the demon body-training method "Sha Mo Zhen Gong" is also a measure for Wei Tu to increase the probability of saving his life in this troubled world where good and evil are at war.
"By using the "Sha Demon True Skill" to break through to the third level, by then, even the golden elixir demon cultivators will have a hard time recognizing that I am a righteous monk." Wei Tu thought to himself.
“The true skill of evil spirits (53/100): practice it every ten days, and it will take two hundred and seventy years to complete.”
Seeing this progress, Wei Tu secretly estimated that in about thirty or forty years, he would be able to cultivate this body-training technique to the "small success" level and break through to the third level.
Physical training monks break through the third level, just like Qi training monks break through the golden elixir from foundation building, there are various dangers. If preparations are not sufficient, there is a high probability that you will die.
Like "Shenmu Yuan Gong", practicing "Sha Mo Zhen Gong" to the "small success" stage can increase the probability of breaking through to the third level of body training by 20%.
Fifteen of an hour later.
Weitu was naked to the waist, and the shadow of the "goat-horned demon head" on his chest suddenly appeared. Like a living creature, it began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, turning it into evil spirit, and tempering Wei Tu's body.
With the practice of magic skills.
A series of shrill and sharp demonic sounds were also emitted as the mouth of the phantom of the goat-horned demon head moved.
The entire cave seemed to be trapped in a devil's cave.
…
Honghe Shanfang City.
Bao Mansion, Yangxin Pavilion.
"Have you broken through the golden elixir?" Bao Siyan looked at the talisman letter on the table in front of her, with a look of surprise on her face.
Different from Qi Chengchu, Che Gongwei and other Golden Elixir Masters, she had been practicing secret techniques in seclusion a few years ago and had not paid attention to outside news, so she did not learn the information that Wei Tu had broken through the Golden Elixir at the first time.
Therefore, when she saw the talisman letter handed over by Wei Tu after breaking through the golden elixir, she was shocked, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Forty years ago, she once asserted that it would take more than twenty years for Wei Tu’s lower-grade spiritual roots to be transferred to the "Shenmu Yuan Gong", and that it would take at least fifty years to cultivate the "Shenmu Yuan Gong" to the third level. However-
Today.
Weitu slapped her in the face. Within the time she said, not only did she successfully switch to the practice method, but she also successfully broke through to the golden elixir realm.
“Want to learn the secret skills from me?” Bao Siyan smiled and had a plan.
She had a friendly attitude towards Wei Tu back then because she thought that Wei Tu was a second-level high-grade Talisman Master and had great plasticity. He has the potential to break through the golden elixir and become a third-level talisman master.
As a third-level Talisman Master, you can go with her to explore the ancient cave she entered by mistake.
It’s not that there are no other third-level talisman masters in the Sanxian Alliance, it’s just that these talisman masters are difficult to grasp with her cultivation level.
Weitu’s cultivation level has just broken through.
He also practices the same kind of skills as her. His strength is limited and his background is clear.
is the most suitable candidate.
“As long as Fellow Daoist Wei promises me...I am willing to give you the three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong"."
Bao Siyan raised her hand lightly, considered her words, and wrote a reply to Wei Tu.
After writing the reply, Bao Siyan looked at the Fuxin Spirit Pigeon soaring into the sky, with a smile on her lips.
"Wei Tu would never have thought that "Shenmu Yuan Gong" does not only have three secret techniques, but five secret techniques..."
Bao Siyan thought secretly.
…
Che Gongwei also received Wei Tu’s letter.
“This day has finally come.”
At Che Mansion, Che Gongwei held Wei Tu's letter in both hands and felt a headache.
As early as when Wei Tu broke through in seclusion, he had anticipated this day.
After all, Wei Tu is a second-level high-level Talisman Master. As soon as his cultivation level is reached, he can try to be promoted to a third-level Talisman Master.
So, Wei Tu, who was promoted to the third level of Talisman Master, will definitely ask for the inheritance of the Talisman Master from his nominal master.
That's why Che Gongwei persuaded Wei Tu to change his words and be worthy of his fellow Taoist when he called him master after he broke through the golden elixir.
This is not because Che Gongwei is too proud of himself.
But the relationship between Wei Tu and Che Gongwei is too weak. There is almost only a master-disciple status, but no master-disciple relationship.
If Wei Tu becomes a disciple a hundred years later and, under the guidance of Che Gongwei, breaks through the golden elixir... Che Gongwei will not begrudge his inheritance.
But unfortunately, Wei Tu is not.
However, Che Gongwei could not accept this matter and rejected Wei Tu directly. After all, Wei Tu was also his nominal disciple.
If you reject the Wei Tu, you will not only lose an alliance "friend" from now on, but you will also gain yourself a formidable enemy.
In the whole world, he is not the only one who has a third-level Talisman Master inheritance.
“Set out the conditions, teach part of it, and keep part of it privately.”
Che Gongwei made a decision.
…
Ten days later.
Wei Tu broke through the barrier and looked at the two replies in front of him.
Wei Tu first read Che Gongwei’s reply. For him, the third-level talisman master’s inheritance was comparable to the three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong".
—Kung Fu and Secret Techniques, which can be replaced by magical powers and secret techniques of the same type.
Compared with this, it is difficult to obtain the orderly inheritance of third-level Talisman masters.
"Three chapters of agreement?" Wei Tu opened Cha Gongwei's letter and raised his eyebrows.
Che Gongwei stated in his letter that he could teach Wei Tu the talisman inheritance, but Wei Tu had to make a three-part agreement with him.
First, within one hundred and fifty years after Wei Tu is promoted to the third level Talisman Master, he cannot sell the inherited Talismans in the Sanxian League to form a competitive relationship with him.
Second, before Wei Tu sells the talisman, he must explain to which force he is selling the talisman and to which monk he sells it to.
Third, after Wei Tu is promoted to the third level Talisman Master, he must pay a tribute of one thousand spirit stones to him every five years. Or buy it out in one go and directly give him 10,000 spirit stones.
After reading these three agreements.
Wei Tu couldn't help but sigh, he had chosen the right master.
The "three stipulations" in the letter may seem to be strict, but in fact they are just industry rules formulated by "craftsmen" for their apprentices.
Teach the disciples and starve the master to death.
These commonplace words are the same in the world of cultivating immortals.
The first agreement is to avoid competition and enmity between the master and the disciple.
The second stipulation is that third-level talismans are strategic resources. If you don’t know where they are leaked and who has them, you can easily endanger yourself.
—In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many ways to use famous monks to frame others.
The third agreement is the filial piety paid by the disciples to the master.
Some masters don’t want the money, but that doesn’t mean Che Gongwei wants it, which is wrong.
Ten thousand spiritual stones can hardly buy a set of third-level Talisman Master inheritance. The method of making every third-level talisman is a secret that has not been passed down.
…
After putting away Che Gongwei’s letter, Wei Tu turned to look at the letter written by Bao Siyan.
“Ancient repair cave?”
Wei Tu’s eyes focused on this line of writing.
He did not expect that the condition for Bao Siyan to teach him the "Three Secret Techniques" of "Shenmu Yuan Gong" was that he should be allowed to explore this ancient cave together with him.
He is aware of the dangers of the secret realm.
At the beginning, the reason why he was willing to enter the Yunze Secret Realm was because the dangers inside the Yunze Secret Realm were predictable and predictable.
But he didn’t have any information about the ancient cave that Bao Siyan told him at this time.
“There must be a reason why Bao Siyan chose me to accompany her to explore this ancient cave.”
“Reject first.”
“Look at her reaction.”
Wei Tu narrowed his eyes.
There were so many Jindan True Lords in the Sanxian Alliance, but Bao Siyan looked for him instead of others. He thought with his toes, and he could guess that there must be a reason for this.
And this reason is his irreplaceability.
In other words.
It is now time for Bao Siyan to beg him, not for him to beg Bao Siyan.
After all...he can replace the three secret techniques of "Shenmu Yuan Gong" with the same, and it does not necessarily have to be the secret technique of the original technique.
But without him, Bao Siyan probably...can't do it.
