Chapter 281 Breakthrough in cultivation, despicable means (please subscribe)
“The water of Sunset Spring can also increase physical strength? Is it a secret treasure of body refining?”
Weitu was pleasantly surprised, but also had a headache.
Physical training is his hidden strength. It cannot be shown in public.
Once it is revealed.
The "disappearance" of Taoist Master Zhanlang could easily be implicated by someone with an intention to do so.
In this case, the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, he can only use his magic power to capture the holy spring water in the spiritual mist one by one, and then refine it. He cannot show his body refining skills and directly refine it with his physical body.
Have your cake and eat it too, at the same time.
"Unless the water from the holy spring can be stored, it can be refined after returning to the Fenshan Department."
Thinking of this, Wei Tu's eyes lit up.
The water of the holy spring is a special spiritual liquid and cannot be stored in ordinary containers such as elixir bottles and jade boxes. But for him who owns the Sky-Mending Bowl, storing the water of the holy spring is not a difficult task.
The "sky-repairing effect" of the Sky-Building Bowl also has the effect of sealing off the aura of spiritual beings.
It can be said that it is the best storage container.
Just do it.
Wei Tu didn’t hesitate at all.
As long as he does not spit out the holy spring water with his body, the monks and divine masters present will not pay too much attention to how much holy spring water he captures and intercepts with his magic power.
After all, monks are different.
With different foundations, the amount of mana they can hold is also different.
There are also some monks who have practiced secret techniques and can absorb more water from the holy spring.
As long as Wei Tu does not go too far, no one will care.
…
Time passes slowly.
Wei Tu was doing two things at once. While refining the water from the holy spring with his magic power, he also stored the excess water from the holy spring one by one in the Sky-Mending Bowl for future use.
Two years later.
Wei Tu's cultivation has been greatly improved, from "small success" in the early stage of Jindan to "big success".
If you work harder for a while, you will reach the "peak" of the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
"The foundation is good." At this time, Divine Master Donglai noticed Wei Tu, but he didn't think much about it. He only thought that Wei Tu had a strong foundation, so he captured a large amount of holy spring water for cultivation.
according to rules.
The high priest can only bathe in the holy spring for three years.
In the third year, the high priests of the three major tribes in the stone hall left one by one.
As for Wei Tu, because he joined the Cang Kun Alliance, his status was equivalent to that of the Archmage in the Royal Court, and he stayed in the Stone Hall for another year.
The second half of the fourth year.
On this day, Wei Tu, who was sitting cross-legged, had a sudden surge of breath. He had completely transformed from the "great success" of the early stage of the Golden Elixir to the peak of the Early Stage of the Golden Elixir.
In the dantian, a round golden elixir also grew several times in size at this moment, from the size of a finger a few years ago to the size of a pigeon egg.
“In ten years at most, you can try to break through to the middle stage of Golden Core.”
In Wei Tu’s eyes, a flash of light flashed.
The practice of the Golden Core Realm is different from the Qi Training Realm and the Foundation Establishment Realm. It is difficult to achieve it overnight and relies more on accumulated practice over time.
He was able to reach the middle stage of the Golden Elixir in just seventy years, which is considered a person who made a breakthrough quickly.
Many monks are trapped in this situation, and it will take at least more than a hundred years to break through.
If Wei Tu hadn't wasted a lot of time studying the alchemy path in the Fenshan tribe before, maybe he would have been able to break through to the middle stage of the golden elixir this time.
Of course, Wei Tu does not regret this decision.
Without the support of Alchemy Dao, he will only rely on Fu Dao in the future. At most, he will be a big Che Gongwei. In the middle and late stages of Jindan cultivation, he will be in trouble.
After all, third-level elixirs are hard to find.
…
Four years are coming.
Wei Tu, accompanied by Yuan Jie and other Master Wang Ting, left Sunset Spring under the leadership of Master Donglai.
Arrived in the outer city, Divine Master Donglai took his two disciples, the two twin brothers, left the royal court team and returned to the cave.
At the same place, only Wei Tu and a group of monks who came to Sunset City from the Ying Ding tribe were left.
“Priest Wei, Leader Yuan, and Fairy Baohua, the five of you and I are not as good as companions.”
“It’s good to have someone to take care of you on the road.”
The second prince smiled and walked over with Yue Qian, a golden elixir cultivator.
“Traveling together?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, wondering what the second prince was trying to do.
He did not think that the second prince's purpose was to deepen his friendship with Yuan Jie.
Any fool can see that there must be something wrong here.
“Could it be that you want to intercept and kill Yuan Jie?”
Wei Tu’s eyes flashed slightly.
Other than this possibility, he really couldn't imagine that traveling with Yuan Jie and Bao Hua would bring any substantial benefits to the second prince.
“Wei still needs to be in Sunset City to digest what he gained from the holy spring, so he won’t respond to the Ding Department yet.”
Thinking of this, Wei Tu quickly spoke.
He didn't want to put himself in danger.
He has friendship with Yuan Jie and Fairy Baohua, but not to the point where they can help each other with their lives.
In case the second prince really wants to intercept and kill Yuan Jie, the killer he invites must be an extraordinary person.
At least in the late Jindan period.
Possibly, he is not a person yet.
Of course, when expressing his intention to retreat, Wei Tu also sent a message to Yuan Jie and reminded Yuan Jie.
Let him be careful of the second prince.
"Golden tent election?" When Yuan Jie heard this, there was a hint of chill in his eyes.
But on the surface, Yuan Jie is still as gentle and elegant as before, with a kind face.
"That's a pity. Yuan thought... that he and fellow Taoist Wei could go together this time."
Yuan Jie sighed softly.
In his words, he seemed to agree to the second prince's request.
See this scene.
Wei Tu couldn't help but wonder what Yuan Jie had to rely on to dare to face this disaster.
Soon.
In addition to Wei Tu, Yuan Jie, Fairy Baohua, Yue Qian, and the Second Prince left Sunset City together and returned to Hujie Immortal City of Ying Ding Tribe.
Go back to the inn.
While practicing, Wei Tu paid attention to the news outside Sunset City, especially the news about Yuan Jie and his party.
It took about two months to wait.
Wei Tu got the news about Yuan Jie from the headquarters of Wufu Chamber of Commerce.
One and a half months ago, when Yuan Jie and others were passing through the Hanhai Desert, sand bandits would suddenly appear and attack Yuan Jie and his group.
During the battle, the second prince and Yue Qian suddenly turned against each other and seriously injured Yuan Jie and Fairy Baohua.
Fortunately, at this time, Yuan Ping and the leader of the Cang Kun Alliance, "Qianyue Sanren", suddenly appeared, disrupted the Sand Bandit Association's offensive, killed the second prince and the Sand Bandit Association boss, and rescued Yuan Jie and Baohua Fairy.
“Yuanping? Qianyue Sanren?”
Weitu’s intuition is that this news is seriously distorted.
While taking away Taoist Wolf Slayer's treasure, he accidentally learned that there would be collusion between Yuan Ping and the sand bandits.
It is impossible for Yuan Ping to destroy his own forces for the sake of Yuan Jie and Fairy Baohua.
“It should be that Qianyue Sanren rescued him in time. After discovering the traitor You Yuanping, he changed the inside story... and betrayed Master Hedi to save face.”
Weitu makes a reasonable guess. "However, this Qianyue Sanren has always been a dragon, but how did Yuan Jie contact him in such a short period of time? Qianyue Sanren, have you always been following Yuanjie?" Wei Tu frowned, feeling that Yuanjie was a little uneasy.
Like him, Qianyue San was a San cultivator of the Immortal Way, and was considered a "foreigner" in the eyes of Kangju people.
Logically speaking, no matter how strong Qianyue Sanren is, he cannot become the leader of the Cangkun Alliance...
“But if the Qianyue scattered people are led by Yuan Jie, the leader of the alliance...he can indeed sit down.”
Weitu took a breath of air.
He even suspected that Qian Yue San had become Yuan Jie's servant just like the Bai Zhi in his hand.
…
Suppress your doubts.
Wei Tu packed his luggage at the inn, disguised himself as a purple-faced man, and then disappeared outside Sunset City.
This time, Wei Tu was not in a hurry to return to Fenshan Division, but took the opportunity to go to Ningyue Palace first.
Just a few days ago.
He learned the news about "Tu Jingzhi" from the mouth of a priest from the Sahel Department.
A few years ago, in the "Yuhefang City" under the rule of Ningyue Palace, there was an auction of "Tu Jingzhi".
If it were just this news, it wouldn't be worth a special trip by Weitu.
After all, the monk who bought the Tujingzhi must have some use for this elixir.
Even if he hasn't swallowed it yet, it is expected that apart from plundering and plundering, it will be difficult for him to get the Tujingzhi from his hands only by trading.
But if that were the case, the priest of the Archery Department would not mention the news to Wei Tu. Not only would it be difficult to receive the reward, but it would also cause a lot of shame.
—According to what he said, there was not only one "Tu Jingzhi" plant at that auction, but three plants were auctioned off by the Chamber of Commerce in one go.
Three strains of Zhizhi…
It is possible to obtain it at a high price.
…
Go from Sunset City to Ningyue Palace.
The middle distance is not short.
In order to avoid leaking his identity, Wei Tu had no choice but to take some long detours.
Therefore, it took nearly half a month for Wei Tu to arrive at the area where Ningyue Palace was located.
“Muli Chamber of Commerce?”
In Yuhefang City, Wei Tu walked in front of a gorgeous pavilion. He glanced at the plaque hanging on the pavilion and nodded secretly.
Muli Chamber of Commerce is the same chamber of commerce that held an auction a few years ago and sold the "Tu Jingzhi".
Step into the pavilion.
After a while, a shopkeeper came out of the inner room with fear and fear to greet Wei Tu.
There is no other reason. When Wei Tu entered the attic, he did not hide his aura and showed his coercion as a golden elixir overhaul.
Muli Chamber of Commerce is just a Jindan force, and they don’t dare to mess with a Jindan True Lord.
“My junior’s surname is Tian, what do you call my senior?” Shopkeeper Tian waited for Wei Tu to sit down, bowed and said carefully.
Normally, there would indeed be Jindan monks visiting Muli Chamber of Commerce, but this was the first time he had seen such a familiar Jindan monk like Wei Tu.
“Shi Mou heard that your chamber of commerce auctioned three native sesame seeds in the past few years?”
The picture is not obscured and goes straight to the point.
"Tu Jingzhi?" Shopkeeper Tian looked surprised. After thinking for a moment, he understood Wei Tu's intention.
A monk who asks for elixirs and medicine.
Over the years, the Chamber of Commerce has seen a lot of them.
"Senior Shi, please wait a moment. I will check the account books now." Shopkeeper Tian said respectfully.
This is not because he is perfunctory with Wei Tu, but because the various spiritual objects involved in the Chamber of Commerce are too complicated. Although he knows the elixir of Tu Jingzhi, he does not know the specific details of the transaction at this moment.
Waiting for half an hour.
Shopkeeper Tian finished checking the account books and returned to the box.
"Senior Hui Shi, this Tu Jingzhi... junior has already investigated it, and it is indeed true. However, the Tu Jingzhi was acquired accidentally, and the Muli Chamber of Commerce does not have... purchase channels for Tu Jingzhi." Shopkeeper Tian showed a wry smile. , replied one by one.
He originally thought that he could do this Jin Dan senior’s business one more time.
Unexpectedly, Tujingzhi is so rare. There is no record of the source of the goods in the Chamber of Commerce.
This answer was within Wei Tu's expectation. After all, he couldn't find Tu Jingzhi in Wufu Chamber of Commerce, let alone Muli Chamber of Commerce, a small chamber of commerce.
"The monk took the photo of three soil sesame seeds. I wonder...does your business know the name or origin of that Taoist friend?" Wei Tu's eyes were intense.
"This..." Shopkeeper Tian hesitated, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Senior Shi should know that the Chamber of Commerce keeps the identity of its guests strictly confidential. Any leakage will damage the business reputation..."
Hearing this, Wei Tu groaned, took out a spirit stone bag, and placed it on the table.
“This is five thousand spiritual stones.”
The soft words fell into Shopkeeper Tian's ears. Shopkeeper Tian's eyes suddenly turned red. His breathing became rapid and his chest heaved.
Five thousand spiritual stones, he would have to work for half a lifetime to save so many spiritual stones.
Now, all it takes is one decision from him.
These spiritual stones are all his.
"Frost Fairy of Ningyue Palace!" Shopkeeper Tian gritted his teeth and spoke very quickly.
After finishing speaking, he looked eagerly at the spirit stone bag on the table, waiting for Wei Tu to speak.
"Ningyue Palace?" After hearing this, Wei Tu frowned slightly. If it were Ningyue Palace, he would undoubtedly have a lot of trouble getting the Earth Essence Seed.
“Remember to find a way out early.”
Wei Tu stood up, threw the bag of spirit stones to Shopkeeper Tian, then flicked his sleeves and robe, turning into a ray of blue light and disappearing.
“Thank you, senior.” Shopkeeper Tian was extremely happy. After putting the spirit stone bag into his storage bag, he secretly left Yuhefang City without hesitation.
These spiritual stones are enough for his son to cultivate to the level of foundation building.
…
Leave Yuhefang City.
Wei Tu came to "Yuping Mountain" near Ningyue Palace and sent a talisman letter to Kou Hongying who was staying here.
Ningyue Palace is a family friend of Jingshui Pavilion.
After Jingshui Pavilion withdrew from Kang State, Ningyue Palace lent the third-level spiritual land of Yuping Mountain to Jingshui Pavilion for the Jingshui Pavilion cultivators to stay temporarily.
Naturally, Kou Hongying, the Jindan True Monarch of Jingshui Pavilion, also meditated and practiced here.
Waited for a while.
Kou Hongying, wearing a green skirt and an embroidered handkerchief, came down from the air and came to Wei Tu.
"Uncle Wei, why are you here suddenly?" Kou Hongying said with a hint of surprise.
Since leaving Zheng Guo, she has not seen Wei Tu again. During this period, although we communicated through letters, how could this compare with meeting in person.
Hearing this, Wei Tu felt a little ashamed. After all, if he hadn't been looking for Tu Jingzhi, he might not have set out to Ningyue Palace in person.
This time when he met Kou Hongying, he also came with a purpose.
“When we are weak, we can still stick together to keep warm, but when we are strong, we can only live apart.”
Wei Tu sighed in his heart.
However, Wei Tu did not hide this from Kou Hongying, but told Kou Hongying truthfully about his search for Tu Jingzhi.
"Frost Fairy?" Kou Hongying frowned slightly when she heard this, "That's one of the two concubines of Ningyue Palace. It's not easy to buy the earth essence sesame from her."
If it was just a transaction, and Wei Tu, the golden elixir master, went to Ningyue Palace to buy it at a high price, Fairy Frost would not refuse, no matter how extraordinary her status was.
However, Wei Tu used a dishonorable method to find out about Frost Fairy this time...
For ordinary monks, I'm afraid that's all.
But for a fairy like Fairy Shuang, it is inevitable that she will feel unhappy and have feelings of resistance.
It is very likely that he would rather lose part of his spiritual stones than sell the goods to Wei Tu.
“My nephew has met Frost Fairy several times. In the name of introducing a third-level alchemist to her, let her meet with her uncle, and then raise money for the elixir…”
Kou Hongying quickly thought of a way.
