Chapter 306 Things have changed and people have changed, the death of Huang Chengfu (please subscribe)
According to his estimation, Wei Tu can be wanted by the Heavenly Lady Sect, and his cultivation level is at least above the Foundation Establishment Realm, and most likely at the Golden Core Realm.
If it is the golden elixir realm…
Although asking for a Foundation Establishment Pill is a bit over the top, given the wealth of the True Monarch of the Golden Pill, he might actually give it to the Yue family.
"Foundation Pill?" When Wei Tu heard these three words, he secretly thought that Yue Chang Zhongzhen would ask for it. For a mere book of basic exercises, he wanted to exchange it for a Foundation Pill, which is rare for Qi training and foundation-building monks.
The Foundation Building Pill is not an ordinary pill, but a strategic resource for major forces. It is a rare pill that is hard to find.
In terms of value, it is comparable to some third-level elixirs.
What's more, the state of Zheng was at war again.
One Foundation Establishment Pill can be fetched a sky-high price.
Tens of thousands of spiritual stones cannot be exchanged.
"No Foundation Establishment Pills!" Wei Tu refused directly and coldly, saying: "Wei has two Foundation Condensation Pills in his hand. Although this pill is not as effective as the Foundation Establishment Pills, it can also allow Qi Practitioners to break through the Foundation Establishment Pills. "
The spiritual material for foundation-building elixirs is hard to find. When he studied elixirs over the years, he had never refined them.
However, he has practiced several rounds of the Foundation Establishment Pill’s replacement, the Foundation Condensation Pill.
The market price of Ningji Dan is one thousand five hundred spirit stones.
But the capital is only two to three hundred spirit stones.
“Ningji Dan?”
Yue Changzhong has heard of the name of the Foundation-Condensing Pill and knows that this pill is only half as effective as the Foundation-Establishing Pill, and it cannot protect the heart veins of the monks who break through, so it is dangerous.
Compared with the Foundation Establishment Pill, the value of two Foundation Condensation Pills is obviously much lower.
"Thank you uncle for the elixir." Yue Changzhong showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he hid it well. He immediately knelt down and thanked Wei Tu in front of him.
However, this ray of disappointment was noticed by the experienced Wei Tu.
“Greedy is enough to make a snake swallow an elephant.”
Wei Tu shook his head secretly.
Back then, although Yue Jing was smart, he was just a boy and didn't have many bad intentions.
Today's Yue Changzhong seems to be loyal, but as the head of the Aoki Yue family, he has a deep palace and is an old fox in the officialdom.
Yue Changzhong was no worse than his ancestor Yue Jing, or even better than Yue Jing, but his scheming side was full of negative points in Wei Tu's heart.
After thinking for a while, Wei Tu took back the "Demon Refining Talisman" in his palm. He raised his hand and put down a pill bottle on the altar table. He waved his sleeves and robe and flew away.
He dropped a sentence from a distance.
"The portraits of Wei and his wife, the in-laws no longer need to enshrine them in the future, so as not to cause trouble."
The voice fell.
Yue Changzhong and his son Yue Ziguang, who were kneeling on the ground, looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other.
Before the great-uncle showed up, the two of them agreed to remove the image of Wei Tu to avoid being traced by the Heavenly Lady Sect.
But the meaning of the Yue family's removal of the portrait is completely different from that of Wei Tu himself speaking about it.
The latter means that they don’t want to have anything to do with their in-laws’ family.
“Perhaps I didn’t know how to advance or retreat, so I asked for the Foundation Establishment Pill, which angered my great-uncle.”
After a long time, Yue Changzhong came to his senses. He looked at the elixir bottle on the table with a dull expression and said with a wry smile.
When he asked for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he knew that his request was a bit too much.
He knows the value of the Foundation Establishment Pill very clearly.
It's just that he was lucky.
Now, although the Yue family has obtained two Condensation Pills from their uncle Wei Tu, Yue Changzhong has an intuition that his Yue family seems to have missed some big opportunity.
This opportunity may affect the fate of their in-laws' family for several generations in the future.
“According to my order, this ancestral home will continue to be preserved, and every generation of the family’s direct descendants will come to worship every year…”
Yue Changzhong made up his mind.
He is betting that today's actions will continue to benefit future generations like his ancestor Yue Jing did.
…
After leaving the old house, Wei Tu did not move far away. He landed next to a big chun tree at the entrance of the alley near the old house.
A green light flashed from his hand, and a copper token came out of the earth and was taken into his palm.
This token is stained with rust, with an auspicious cloud pattern engraved on one end and the word "Martial Arts" on the other end.
It was the token given to him by Xue Du, the former elder of Wuyun Tower, when he came to recruit him.
However, in order to avoid trouble, after Wei Tu took the token, he buried it under the big chun tree in the nearby lane.
“More than two hundred years later, I didn’t expect this token to still be in the same place.”
Wei Tu's face showed a desolate look.
The old scenery and old things are still there, but this is just a corner of Qingshan County. The larger place has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
His consciousness has already swept across the old residences of the Li family and the Huang family. They had been razed to the ground and rebuilt with new ones.
Fortunately, Wei Tu didn't feel too regretful about this trip back to his hometown.
It will not be the same as Mu Feng's great priests. At the end of life, he still does not forget his nostalgia for his hometown.
“I don’t know who can get this fairy fate.”
Weitu's magic power touched the copper token. The rusty token instantly became as new as before, possessing a few traces of spiritual power.
At the same time, he used this token as a jade slip and carved the "Little Spring and Autumn Gong" skills he practiced in the past.
After doing all this, Wei Tu buried the token next to the big chun tree again.
"Little Spring and Autumn Gong" is a second-level skill that can be practiced all the way to the peak of foundation building.
This pair of mostly qi practitioners and casual cultivators can be regarded as a great deal of immortality.
…
A few days later, Wei Tu went to Cuiping Valley on his way to the Southern Wilderness Ancient Plains.
Cuiping Valley is a first-class spiritual land under the rule of the Huo family in Changling. More than a hundred years ago, it was lent to the Xiayamei family, the in-laws.
This time, when going to Xia Yimei's house, Wei Tu was also worried about whether the Heavenly Girl Sect would take revenge on Xia Yimei's house because of his affairs.
—Xia Yimei’s family is also his in-laws.
As a result, after arriving at Cuiping Valley, Wei Tu realized that this spiritual place had long been transformed.
More than fifty years ago, after he and Wei Xiuwen and his wife left the country of Zheng, because of the Foundation Condensation Pill and the Demon Refining Talisman he left behind, two members of the Xiayamei family succeeded in building foundations one after another and became a foundation-building family.
Subsequently, the Xiayamei family left Cuiping Valley and moved to Yunhe Mountain, where they joined the "Heshan Ni Family" and became a vassal of the Jindan family.
The Ni family of Heshan is a branch family of the "Ni family" of the Tiannv sect, and is also the Jindan family.
For this reason, the Xiayamei family escaped the liquidation of the Tiannu sect and became increasingly prosperous.
“Ni Shihuang of the Ni family!” Wei Tu thought of this familiar yet unfamiliar golden elixir of the Heavenly Lady Sect.
Speaking of familiarity, it was because he had met this grown-up golden elixir demon cultivator twice.
The first time was when Kou Hongying went to Hongyanshanfang City. Blood God Son and Ni Shihuang joined forces to attack the city where the righteous path was stationed.
The second time was more than fifty years ago, when he was escaping from Taixu Realm, and happened to meet Ni Shihuang who was investigating Bai Zhi's disappearance.
The reason for saying strange is that he saw Ni Shihuang first during the two encounters, while Ni Shihuang had never seen him before.
“When one family dies, another family thrives. Unexpectedly, the Huang family in Heshan became the Ni family in Heshan today.”
Wei Tu sighed and planned to leave near Cuiping Valley.
As early as the day he left Zheng Guo, he had anticipated that if the Xiayamei family wanted to survive, they would inevitably turn to the devil.
However, he did not expect that the family the Xia Yamei family took refuge in and the place they went to had a lot to do with him.
But just when Wei Tu was about to leave Cuiping Valley, suddenly a female cultivator, wielding a red magic sword, rushed out of the valley entrance and shouted "Cousin Grandpa" to the people around her.
"Huang Fang?" Wei Tu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the appearance of this foundation-building female cultivator.
Although this female foundation-building cultivator looked like a middle-aged woman, he could vaguely see a bit of Huang Fang's appearance in the past on her face.
This girl is "Huang Fang", the sister of "Huang Chengfu", the servant he took in when he went to the Huang family in Heshan to worship.
Brothers and sisters Huang Chengfu and Huang Fang are the descendants of his deceased second aunt Wei Xin. He had taken some care of these two people back then.
Later, after he and the Huang family broke up, Huang Chengfu's brother and sister voluntarily left Yunhe Mountain with him.
When he was in Baishi Hufang City, his daughter Wei Yan also accepted Huang Fang, a cousin, as her apprentice and taught some talisman skills.
It was only later that he saw that the Huang Chengfu brothers and sisters had limited qualifications, and after helping them several times, they failed to get up, so he stopped paying attention to these two people.
Today's meeting, Huang Fang actually succeeded in building the foundation... Even though it was only the early stage of foundation building, this was enough to surprise Wei Tu.
“Huang Fang, how did you know I was here?”
Wei Tu walked up to Huang Fang. After he showed his traces, he frowned.
Along the way, he always disguised himself and acted extremely covertly. It makes no sense, Huang Fang discovered it easily.
"With my grandson's cultivation, it is naturally difficult to detect traces of my cousin. But except for my cousin, I don't think anyone will ask about the affairs of the Xia Yamei family in the past."
“Therefore, after my grandson heard the family monk reported this matter, he thought of trying his luck here, maybe he could meet you, my cousin.”
Huang Fang lowered her eyebrows and said. "It turned out to be just a coincidence." Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's tense face relaxed.
He also mistakenly thought that there was a flaw in his concealment technique, which was why Huang Fang discovered it.
I never thought that it was because of "mistakes" in my behavior that Huang Fang found out.
Of course, this is not a mistake. If he didn't want to show up, even if Huang Fang learned the news, it would be difficult to find any trace of him.
“The Liu family in Cuiping Valley, this is yours...”
Wei Tu had a suspicion in his mind that just now he had asked the monks of the Liu family for information.
“It’s the grandson’s husband’s family.”
Huang Fang nodded affirmatively and replied.
Next.
Without waiting for Wei Tu to ask, Huang Fang talked about the past.
Originally, Huang Fang and her brother Huang Chengfu lived quite comfortably in Cuiping Valley through Wei Tu's relationship, and the Mei family treated them with great courtesy.
But until the Zheng Kingdom fell completely and the Xiayamei family switched to the Ni family in Heshan, everything changed.
The Mei family was wary of the kinship between the Huang Fang siblings and Wei Tu, so after they took refuge with the Ni family in Heshan, they immediately drove the Huang Fang brothers and sisters out of the Mei family.
Even some monks from the Mei family wanted to show their loyalty to the Ni family in Heshan and went to rob and kill the Huang Fang brother and sister.
In the process of pursuit.
Huang Chengfu died unexpectedly, but Huang Fang escaped by luck and survived the catastrophe.
By chance, Huang Fang learned the whereabouts of the monk "Zheng Xiong" who was wanted by the Wanling Sect.
Zheng Xiong is a direct descendant of the "Xueling Zheng Family", one of the seven major immortal cultivating families of Zheng Guoyuan.
After the massive invasion of demons, the Zheng family in Xueling was destroyed. As a direct clan member, Zheng Xiong fled with some of the family's resources before the destruction.
Huang Fang guessed that Zheng Xiong must have the foundation-building pill of the Zheng family in Xueling.
So, Huang Fang was ruthless and set all the talismans she had accumulated for many years into traps to completely kill Zheng Xiong.
No one is rich without windfall.
After this time, Huang Fang finally accumulated enough resources to break through the foundation building realm. Ever since, more than 20 years ago, the breakthrough and foundation building was successful.
Afterwards, Huang Fang concealed her surname, returned to Cuiping Valley, and married Liu Dongming, the head of the Liu family of the Xiuxian family who had migrated to Cuiping Valley.
This time, Huang Fang would not have revealed her true face if she had not guessed that Wei Tu was coming back.
"I know that if I want to avenge my brother, it will be difficult for me in my lifetime. So I can only stay in Cuiping Valley and wait for the day when my cousin comes back."
Huang Fang’s eyes were red and tears were streaming from her eyes.
She established the foundation too late, and the end of her journey was probably the foundation-building realm.
With the strength of the Foundation Realm, she may not be able to avenge Huang Chengfu in her lifetime.
“What a Xiayamei family!”
Hearing this, Wei Tu's expression suddenly turned cold.
He could understand why the Xiayamei family expelled the Huang Fang brothers and sisters. After all, the Huang Fang brothers and sisters were related to him, and it was not appropriate to leave such a time bomb in the family.
He couldn't stand it when the Xiayamei family went after the Huang Fang brothers and sisters afterwards.
This is a proper repayment of kindness with evil.
Not only was Huang Chengfu killed, but his father and son of the Wei family were also slapped in the face.
If it weren't for Wei Xiuwen's management of the Xiayamei family for nearly a hundred years, the members of the Xiayamei family would have long been reduced to bereavement dogs. If it weren't for his later help, how would the Xiayamei family have the chance to have two more members of the clan? Foundation-building monk?
“However, it is no longer appropriate to call the family Xia Yamei’s family. It should be called Han Yemei’s family instead.”
Wei Tu shook his head.
The direct lineage of Xiayamei's family is that of his daughter-in-law Meizhen. After Mei Zhen left, the Mei family is now the head of a branch, and it is no longer the Xiaya Mei family back then.
The Mei family's clan has also moved from Xiayaling to "Hanye Valley" near Yunhe Mountain.
“Is it a letter from the Yemei family or a personal order?” Wei Tu asked.
If it was a family order, then he would have to liquidate the entire family.
“After the grandson’s investigation, when the order to hunt down the grandson’s brother and sister was issued, many members of the Mei family objected, and the main person in favor was... Mei Longgui, the foundation-building monk of the Mei family.”
Huang Fang quickly replied.
"I see."
Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly.
As soon as he said this, Wei Tu gave Huang Fang a bottle of second-level elixir, and then waved his sleeves and robe, turning into a ray of light and rushing towards Yunhe Mountain in the southwest.
Coincidentally, the direction of Yunhe Mountain is consistent with the direction of Nanhuang Ancient Plain.
There is no need to take a detour for Wei Tu.
…
Hanye Valley is an affiliated spiritual land of the third-level spiritual land of Yunhe Mountain, located on the second level.
As a former worshiper of the Huang family in Heshan, Wei Tu knew the terrain around Yunhe Mountain very well. It didn't take him long to find the spiritual place where Han Yemei's family now rests.
Decades have passed, and the Hanyemei family seems to be developing well. Many of the younger generation of monks are more advanced than the older generation.
Hanye Valley, the main hall of clan affairs.
Looking at the Mei family members leaving the palace one after another, Mei Longgui, the founder of the Foundation, had a look of relief on his face and a smile on his face.
“Since joining the Ni family in Heshan, the Mei family has prospered and will no longer be in a state of decline like when Wei Xiuwen was there.”
He laughed a few times and said.
"Hmph! How can we develop our family when outsiders are riding on it? Wei Xiuwen and his wife are filling their own pockets and constantly coveting the wealth of our Mei family. Otherwise, how can we raise a golden elixir monk like his father?"
On the seat on the other side, a middle-aged monk dressed as a scribe stood up. He stroked the three strands of beard under his chin and said dissatisfiedly.
This middle-aged scribe is "Mei Zongdian", another foundation-building elder of the Mei family.
“The Wei family showed some dignity by giving us two Condensation Pills before escaping. Otherwise, our Mei family’s foundation may be in jeopardy.”
Mei Zongdian sighed.
"By the way, Brother Long Gui. Have you heard about Huang Fang's whereabouts? She may have the demon refining talisman inherited from the Wei family."
“Without the help of the Demon Refining Talisman, the chance of establishing a foundation with just the Foundation Condensation Pill is too small.”
Mei Zongdian groaned and asked.
The Mei family pursued Huang Fang not only to show their loyalty to the Tiannv faction. The more important purpose is to plunder the inheritance of the "Demon Refining Talisman".
With this inheritance, their Mei family can continuously produce foundation-building monks and never decline.
"Difficult!" Mei Longgui shook his head, "I sent family monks to investigate all the major cities, but no trace of Huang Fang was found. It's still strange that you were too merciful and soft-hearted at the time."
"If I had made up my mind earlier and relied on the foundation-building skills of you and me, it would not be difficult to catch this woman."
Hear this.
Meizongdian immediately retorted:
“After all, this woman is related to Wei Tu. If Wei Tu is still in Zheng, or gets the news, our Mei family will be doomed.”
"There are two of us, one of us has to be a good person, and the other is a bad person. If the family wants to survive for a long time, it has to operate on two boats." Mei Zongdian looked proud.
“It makes sense, it makes sense.”
At this time, in the empty hall, a male voice with a completely different tone from Mei Longgui and Mei Zongdian suddenly appeared.
Hearing these words, Mei Longgui and Mei Zongdian, who were in the palace, immediately changed their expressions and quickly released their spiritual consciousness to detect the source of the sound.
At the same time, they were also upset in their hearts about how they had just unintentionally spoken out what they had hidden in their hearts for many years.
Mei Longgui and Mei Zongdian did not notice at all that there were two transparent moths standing next to their shoulders.
On the edge of the moth's mouthparts, there is still the colorful mist that it just sprayed out.
It was this colorful mist that made them, the two ancestors of the Mei family, unintentionally reveal their true thoughts.
“Back then, it was Wei who gave you two the opportunity to build the foundation. Today, Wei has no intention of repaying you, and will only take back the cultivation of the two of you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tu with a cold face came out and patted Mei Longgui and Mei Zongdian's pubic areas respectively.
Just listen to the sound of "boo".
The two of them were like a leaky sieve, with the mana pouring out of their bodies crazily, and their cultivation level dropped all the way from the foundation-building realm to the Qi-training realm.
“My cultivation level?” Mei Longgui and Mei Zongdian were shocked, with horrified expressions on their faces.
At this moment, they noticed that Wei Tu, whom they were worried about, had already stood in front of them before they knew it.
“Wei Zhenjun, it’s the nonsense of a junior, it’s the nonsense of a junior…”
Meilong and Gui kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Without the foundation-building skills, the two of them would be like useless people, and the Mei family's prosperous foundation would be snatched away by other families in an instant.
By then, neither he nor Han Yemei's family will be in danger.
"The Wei family has never owed anything to the Mei family. At least, it doesn't owe anything to people like you."
Wei Tu glanced at Mei Longgui and the others coldly, waved, took back the colorful moths on their bodies, and then left.
