Chapter 312: Sky-horned Dragon Centipede, Wei's Danfufang (5k please subscribe)
Wei Tu didn't know much about the Tao family's wives' plans, but even if he knew, he wouldn't interfere too much in the matter.
Everyone wants to be in a position of power.
The Tao family's plan is not harmful to the Wei family, and there is no need for him to stop it.
For him, it is indeed better for female cultivators like Tao Ya to receive key training than for male cultivators from the Tao family to take advantage of the situation and become stronger.
The former can better integrate into the Wei family.
The latter, when it grows to a certain level, may pose a certain threat to the Wei family.
In the world of immortality, there are many stories about men repairing their feud and reviving their families, but it is rare to see scenes of female cultivators risking their lives for the sake of their family.
…
Before leaving the Fenshan tribe, Wei Tu planned to go to the "Liuyun Lake", the spiritual place of the Zama tribe, to meet Wei Xian'er.
A few years ago, Wei Xian'er asked Wei Tu for help once because his spiritual consciousness increased for no reason.
Later, Wei Tu found out that the reason was that the puppet pendant worn by Wei Xianer contained fragments of the soul of the mourning god. This soul fragment wanted to possess Wei Xianer and subtly affected Wei Xianer's consciousness.
This time Wei Tu came not only to check the follow-up status of Wei Xian'er's soul, but also to inform Wei Xian'er about his father Wei Fei.
Due to the battle between good and evil, Wei Fei followed the Qiyue Zhao family to the Xiao State through the teleportation array, while Wei Xianer came to the Zama tribe of the Kang State.
Father and daughter have been separated for nearly a hundred years and do not know life or death.
Last time, Wei Tu purchased the Golden Congo from Wanfo Temple in Xiao State through Yu Tong, and also asked Yu Tong to inquire about the news about Zhao Qingluo and Wei Fei.
“My parents are still okay? Fortunately.”
In Liuyun Lake, Wei Xian'er felt relieved after hearing what Wei Tu said, and let go of the worries she had had in her heart many years ago.
Although she had previously learned from Wei Tu that her parents followed the Qiyue Zhao family and migrated to the Xiao Kingdom through the teleportation array, the two countries were so far apart, and she was worried about what might happen on the way.
Now that everything is safe, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Next.
It’s time to check the soul.
"Uncle Wei, I'm ready." Wei Xian'er's face flushed, and she lay flat on the bed in her cave, breathing slightly.
Even though she knew that the relationship between her and Wei Tu was only that of uncle and nephew, and this inspection was for the safety of her future practice, being so closely touched by a man made her feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
“After all, Uncle Wei and my father are just sworn brothers and have no blood relationship with each other.”
Wei Xian'er had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and this idea quickly came to her mind.
Different from Kou Hongying, she was born after Wei Fei turned 100 and has not gone through the secular stage of Yishe. Therefore, her impression of Wei Tu, her uncle, is very vague... more like looking at a strange male cultivator.
“Keep your mind quiet!”
At this time, Wei Tu's scolding came suddenly, which frightened Wei Xian'er's face to turn pale, and she immediately came back to her senses and stopped thinking wildly.
It is different from what Wei Xianer thought.
Weitu only used **** to twist her wrist and slowly injected mana without making any other unnecessary contact with her.
"The soul is pure. It seems that Xian'er has practiced the "Shangyan Secret Sutra" well in the past few years and refined the fragments of the soul that remain in her body from the mournful god."
An hour later, Wei Tu, who had completed the inspection, retracted his fingers and his expression softened a little.
After all, Wei Xian'er followed him and smuggled into Kang State and settled in the Zama tribe.
With Souvenir Sad to take over his body, it would be really hard for him to explain the matter to Wei Fei.
“Thank you, Uncle Wei.” Wei Xianer stood up from the crotch and bowed to Wei Tu.
At this time, her face no longer showed the shyness of the strange male cultivator, but instead looked more generous, calm and polite.
After the contact, Wei Xian'er realized that Wei Tu had been using his elder status to get along with her, and that she was undoubtedly insulting her elders by thinking in secret.
“Practice well during this period, and in more than ten years, I will take you to Xiao Country.”
Wei Tu glanced at Wei Xian'er and said.
Originally, he planned to refine the two treasures, the Golden Congo and the Holy Spring Water. After breaking through to the middle stage of the Golden Core, he would go to the Xiao Kingdom.
But unexpectedly, something happened suddenly. He was kidnapped by Hu Shan and Qi Chengchu, and was forced to go to Taixu Realm.
Now that he has returned to the Fenshan tribe, his heart is not at peace. If he leaves suddenly again, it will be greatly detrimental to his future development in Kang.
“Thank you, Uncle Wei.”
Hearing this, Wei Xianer's face suddenly became happy and she thanked Wei Tu sweetly.
She knows very well how difficult it is to travel to a foreign country.
Weitu inviting her to go means extra expenses and attention.
“The reunion of the whole family is the most important thing.” Wei Tu wanted to let Wei Xianer live in Xiao country for a long time.
He could see that the relationship between Wei Xian'er and his master, High Priest Tia, was not close.
Otherwise, Wei Xianer would not have come to him many times to solve her problems.
"Yeah." Wei Xian'er heard the hidden meaning of Wei Tu's words, hummed slightly, and nodded.
…
Finish the matter of Wei Xian'er.
Wei Tu returned to Yanfen Mountain and hung a wooden sign with the words "retreat" on the door of the secret room.
After activating the cave formation and blocking the surrounding aura, Wei Tu touched the storage ring.
Hurrah!
All kinds of rare treasures came out of the storage ring and were suspended in mid-air.
A wine jar the size of a palm, containing several green talismans that seal spiritual power.
A golden skeleton with a coercive feel.
A piece of black iron with unknown characters engraved on it.
A blue alchemy cauldron covered with restrictions and suspected of containing elixirs.
These four spiritual objects are unknown treasures that Wei Tu obtained in the Stone Demon Tower.
Different from treasures such as the psychic object and the fire cloud cover rough embryo, he has not figured out the true uses of these four spiritual objects since they emerged from the Stone Demonic Tower.
Moreover, these four spiritual objects happened to be treasures he obtained from the two Yuanying caves on the fifth floor of the Stone Demon Tower.
Wei Tu flicked his sleeves and stretched out his hand to take the wine jar with a green talisman in front of him.
Of these four unknown spiritual objects, only this one, together with the "Golden Toad Qi", came from the Juzuo Cave Mansion.
The remaining three unknown spiritual objects all come from the Yuanying Cave on the right.
"These three cyan talismans are fourth-level talismans with sealing effect. These talismans alone are of great value."
Wei Tu thought to himself.
Even if the spiritual power of the fourth-level talisman with sealing effect is completely exhausted, it still has corresponding research value for him as a talisman master.
Don't think that these sealing talismans only seal the spirituality in the wine jar, but they can last for ten thousand years, which shows their power.
The sealing talisman can not only seal spiritual objects, but also monks and monsters.
"Open!" Wei Tu waved his sleeves and the green talismans on the wine jar fell down and were arranged neatly aside.
At the moment when the green talisman fell.
What was exposed inside the wine jar was not the spiritual wine that Wei Tu had originally estimated, but a centipede-shaped essence about half a foot long.
This centipede is all white, with a rhinoceros-like horn on its head, and two slender catfish tentacles next to its mouthparts. After seeing itself escaping from the trap, it immediately sprayed out a cloud of white mist, making it look extremely ferocious and ferocious.
“Bold!” When Wei Tu saw this, he was shocked at first. After all, this was the treasure of the Yuanying monk in the cave, and his level must be not low.
But then he sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations of this white mist, which was only equivalent to the late stage of foundation building. He immediately became happy and stepped forward to surrender the essence of the snow-white centipede again.
Wei Tu waved his sleeves and robe, and the white mist was wrapped in magic power and immediately dissipated.
Subsequently, Wei Tu made a secret and sealed the essence of the snow-white centipede with the spirit-sealing talisman.
Although the level of the spirit-sealing talisman is low, far inferior to the blue talisman on the wine jar, it is not difficult to seal this extremely weak snow-white centipede.
"Alicorn centipede?" At this time, Bai Zhi, who was maintaining the formation, came over. She was surprised to see the appearance of the snow-white centipede.
Without waiting for Wei Tu to ask, Bai Zhi directly explained the origin of this thing to Wei Tu.
“Do you know the Tianyun Mountain of Demonic Dao? The Sky-horned Dragon Centipede is the earliest descendant of the true spirit that lives in the Tianyun Mountain. However, tens of thousands of years ago, the Sky-horned Dragon Centipede was hunted to extinction by demon cultivators.”
“Unexpectedly, there is actually an aura-horned dragon centipede hidden within the Stone Demon Sect.”
Bai Zhi said in a surprised tone.
She couldn't help but secretly sigh at Wei Tu's good luck in finding the spirit of an Sky-horned Dragon Centipede in the Stone Demon Sect.
The Sky Horned Dragon Centipede is the descendant of the legendary ancient true spirit and true dragon, and is full of treasures.
Although only the spirit of this alicorn dragon centipede is left, refining it with secret techniques can also bring a lot of benefits to Wei Tu's soul.
Tianyun Mountain?
Weitu is no stranger to this place.
Nearly two hundred years ago, the five demonic sects swore an oath at Tianyun Mountain and agreed to attack the three border countries.
“Look at the other treasures first, and then deal with this alicorn centipede.”
Weitu re-sealed the spirit of the alicorn dragon centipede in the wine jar, then turned his eyes and landed on the golden bones and black iron skin.
These two spiritual objects were placed together in the hermitage room in Juyou Cave Mansion. Wei Tu guessed that these two spiritual objects should be related to each other.
However, after looking at it for a long time, Wei Tu and Bai Zhi were unable to figure out the origin of the golden bones and the origin of the words on the iron sheet.
"After the Stone Demon Sect was destroyed, the Heavenly Girl Sect switched to the Demonic Way and became one of the five sects of the Demonic Way. Regarding the secrets of the Demonic Way, the Heavenly Girl Sect has the weakest foundation." Bai Zhi shook her head helplessly.
She estimated that the writing on the iron sheet should be some kind of ancient secret text of magic.
In ordinary markets and shops, it is difficult to find records about this kind of secret text of magic.
The last blue cauldron.
Weitu thought for a while, resisted his impulse, and did not forcefully break the seal on the blue alchemy cauldron.
If the elixir in the blue alchemy cauldron is related to the "skills" recorded on the iron sheet, and he accidentally causes the elixir to be damaged, he will regret it.
It’s not too late to open the blue alchemy cauldron after deciphering the secret text on the iron sheet.
There is no need to rush this moment.
“I’m not familiar with the Demonic Sect, but there are some familiar people from the Righteous Sect...”
Thinking of this, Wei Tu walked to the study and started writing a letter.
In addition to informing Kou Hongying that he was safe, he also engraved several secret texts on the iron sheet one by one in the letter, and asked Kou Hongying to search for records of such texts in Jingshui Pavilion.
Logically speaking, after returning to the Fenshan tribe, he should report to Kou Hongying and other relatives and friends that they were safe as soon as possible. However, because of his eagerness to explore the secret treasure and the Tao family's affairs, he was delayed for a day or two.
In addition to writing a letter to Kou Hongying.
Wei Tu also wrote to Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er respectively to inquire about their safety.
…
However, not long after Wei Tu's letter was sent, within three days, he received a safe letter from Che Gongwei and Su Bing'er.
After reading the letter, Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said that the information he had obtained at the border of Zheng State was correct. Che Gongwei, Su Bing'er, and the old monster Tianzhi were fine and successfully escaped from the Taixu Realm.
Wei Tu first opened Che Gongwei’s letter.
In the letter, Che Gongwei first inquired about Wei Tu's safety, and then told Wei Tu everything that happened after he and Wei Tu separated in the territory of Taixu.
The three of them escaped from Taixu Territory and encountered some minor troubles in the outer realm, but these troubles were not fatal and were easily solved.
The real danger is outside the underground palace, being besieged by monks from the two major demon sects, Tianjue Demon Palace and Hehuan Sect.
Written here.
Che Gongwei mentioned that fortunately, Gong Shulan also escaped not long after, which helped them greatly reduce the pressure of the siege from outside demon cultivators.
With the help of Gong Shulan, the three of them left the Southern Wilderness Ancient Plains almost unscathed.
However, after arriving in Zheng State, the old monster said that he had something to do and left first.
At the end of the letter, Che Gongwei talked about some important things after returning to the Sanxian Alliance, such as exposing Qi Chengchu's collusion with the devil, and re-selecting the leader of the Sanxian Alliance, etc.
Then, Wei Tu opened Su Bing'er's letter.
The content written by Che Gongwei is similar. After Su Bing'er reported that she was safe, she recounted everything that happened after escaping from the territory of Taixu.
However, compared to Che Gongwei, Su Bing'er mentioned one more thing, and that was to thank Weitu in person for temporarily lending her the black scale shield.
The Black Scale Shield is a third-level defensive weapon that Wei Tu took from Taoist Wolf Slayer. When he was in the "Cold Crystal Platform" in Taixu Realm, Wei Tu temporarily lent this defensive weapon to Su Bing'er and let her Fight the cold.
It is said that it is borrowed...
In fact, it’s almost the same as giving away.
Wei Tu didn’t expect that Su Binger actually stated in the letter that she wanted to return this magical weapon to him.
This point made Wei Tu somewhat impressed.
“Speaking of which, I also borrowed a magic weapon from Master Che.”
Wei Tu turned his palm, and there was a purple ball the size of a fist in his hand.
This purple round bead is the golden flame bead that Che Gongwei gave him when he was leaving.
This thing is Che Gongwei's trump card. After being activated, it can be compared to a full blow in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
However, because Wei Tu had the "Taixu Stone", he teleported directly out of the Taixu Realm. From the beginning to the end, he never used this talisman.
Although Che Gongwei did not explicitly lend this talisman to Wei Tu, since Wei Tu was useless, he should repay it to Che Gongwei like Su Bing'er did.
After all, this talisman is too precious.
“Go to the Sanxian Alliance after a while and repay Master Che.” Wei Tu secretly said.
After experiencing this setback, he truly recognized Che Gongwei as his half-way master.
…
The retreat is over.
Weitu is waiting for Kou Hongying’s reply.
During this period, Wei Tu ordered Yan Yu and Tao Fangde to buy a shop in Hujiexian City and put up a signboard called "Wei's Danfufang".
This shop is mainly used to sell first- and second-level elixirs and talismans, as well as customized third-level elixirs and talismans.
After purchasing the "Tu Jing Zhi" from the Frost Fairy in Ning Yue Palace, Wei Tu now has basically all the elixir for refining the "Purple Candle Pill".
The only thing he lacks is his alchemy level.
Purple Candle Pill is a third-level high-grade elixir. With his current attainments in alchemy, the chance of successfully refining it is less than 10%.
Therefore, it is almost imperative to improve one's alchemy attainments.
However, third-level elixirs are not as easy to obtain as first- and second-level elixirs. If you want to quickly improve your experience in refining third-level elixirs, there is only one shortcut - that is to open a shop and accept commissions from outside monks.
Compared to Hujiexian City, the Fenshan Department where Wei Tu is located is still too remote.
…
There is help from the Cangkun Alliance.
Weishi Danfufang is located in the downtown area of Hujiexian City, rather than in a remote location.
From Fenshan Department to Hujie Immortal City, it will take about one or two days for the Jindan monks, but it will take seven or eight days for the Foundation monks.
In addition, a year ago, there was a feud with the two major tribes, the Sheri Division and the Fengwu Division.
Wei Tu didn't think much. He moved directly from the Fenshan tribe to the safer Hujie Immortal City, and rented a cave in the Immortal City.
The shop is a pavilion building with a total height of four floors and a small courtyard attached.
According to Fairy Baohua’s suggestion, Wei Tu used the first and second floors as general exhibition areas, selling first- and second-level talismans and elixirs.
The third floor is a high-level exhibition area. Qi training and foundation-building monks are not allowed to enter. Only foundation-building monks and golden elixir monks with extraordinary status can enter.
The fourth floor is divided into two halves, one half is the reception room for booking talismans and elixirs, and the other half is the temporary cave for Wei Tu, the third-level alchemist and third-level talisman master.
As for the small courtyard behind the pavilion, it is the residence of the shopkeeper and servants of "Wei's Danfufang".
As the person to be the shopkeeper, Wei Tu prefers Tao Fangde, who is experienced and tactful.
Hundred years ago, the Tao family in Hanshan selected Tao Fangde as the elder in charge of the prime minister’s smuggling affairs.
During these hundred years, Tao Fangde worked conscientiously and never made any major mistakes.
In addition to the fact that the Tao family did not produce the Jindan True Monarch, the Hanshan Tao family managed by Tao Fangde also maintained the basic dignity of the Jindan family.
From these kinds of things, it is not difficult to see Tao Fangde’s ability.
However, Wei Tu did not fully believe Tao Fangde.
After he moved into Hujiexian City, he appointed Yan Yu as the deputy shopkeeper of "Wei's Danfufang", responsible for supervising Tao Fangde and checking the accounts.
Use Yanyu to restrict Tao Fangde.
“Senior Wei, for the manpower management of Danfu Fang, you can use apprentices instead of servants. In this way, not only will the wages be lower, but you will also be more loyal.”
In the reception room on the fourth floor, Tao Fangde discussed with Wei Tu the specific internal affairs of Danfufang.
Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly.
Compared to the employment relationship, the master-disciple relationship in the world of immortality is indeed stronger.
Moreover, as time goes by, the disciples will recruit grandchildren, and the grandchildren will recruit great-grandchildren, and the network of relationships will become more and more large, becoming a major force.
Of course, there are also disadvantages.
Not only does it need to teach the apprentice skills, but the master also has to take more care of the apprentice than a hired servant.
If a disciple makes a mistake, the master will be implicated to a certain extent.
However, Wei Tu was not short of the small amount of money needed to hire a boy from Danfufang. He shook his head and was ready to reject Tao Fangde's proposal.
With his level, it would be a big loss to accept an apprentice.
“Senior Wei, to be honest, our Tao family also has several talisman masters and alchemists. The Wei family’s alchemy shop can employ these people, and the apprentices they bring can take on the role of servants in the shop.”
Tao Fangde added.
The Jindan family has many people. The Tao family smuggled in another elite monk.
Among these monks, there are many who are skilled in the four arts of cultivating immortals.
Among them, the two important immortal professions, Talisman Master and Alchemist, are even more numerous.
It is not difficult to select a few second-level talisman masters and alchemy masters to join Wei's Alchemy Master.
