Chapter 370 Anomaly is detected, the bodyguard of the Yu family (4k6, please subscribe)
Buddhas compete for a burner of incense, and people compete for a breath.
Now, she went after Wei Tu not only to avenge Wei Tu for teasing her, but also to prove to Ji Zhang that she could still live well without Ji Zhang as her boss.
As for failure or not…
it is not important!
Although Fu Linglong does not have the confidence to defeat Wei Tu, as a master of the late Jindan period, she also has the confidence to escape unscathed. I don't think Wei Tu can hurt her at all.
“This elixir is very important to fellow Taoists Wei...”
“Related to the path of Daoist friends.”
Fu Linglong gathered her thoughts, found a random reason, and prevaricated Nan Zi.
"Very important?"
Hearing this, Nan Zi was a little dubious, but thinking that her strength and status were far inferior to Fu Linglong, she had no choice but to suppress this doubt in her heart.
…
With the general information of the Wei map, Fu Linglong did not waste time and immediately launched a search nearby.
Using the magical power of "other minds", Fu Linglong peeked into part of Qiu Buchen's thoughts and knew that Wei Tu had received a piece of Yuan Ying inheritance from him.
Based on her own recommendation, Fu Linglong guessed that Wei Tu was most likely hiding in a certain spiritual place to get a glimpse of this Nascent Soul inheritance.
After all, the Nascent Soul inheritance is very attractive to Jindan cultivators, especially Jindan casual cultivators.
Almost second only to the level-breaking elixir!
Fu Linglong began a targeted investigation. During the period after Wei Tu left the Beast Control Sect, he rented second- and third-level cave dwelling foundation building and golden elixir monks in nearby cities.
The scope of this investigation is not large.
Soon, Fu Linglong had targeted a dozen suspicious people.
Of these dozen suspicious persons, after further background checks, only three of them were left whose identities were considered suspicious.
“I just don’t know if Wei Tu is really among these three people?” Fu Linglong narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and decided to wait and wait for the opportunity in the dark.
but-
Although Fu Linglong's investigation was thorough and had no loopholes, it overlooked one thing.
That is, her traces also appear suspicious in these investigative operations.
“Friend Wei Dao, someone seems to be targeting you.”
Lease a cave and practice indoors. Just when Wei Tu's progress in practicing the "Carp Dragon Yin Sword" had just come to an end, a black ghost energy suddenly broke in, transformed into Bai Zhi, and sent a message to Wei Tu.
"What?"
“Is someone following me?”
Hearing this, Wei Tu, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, immediately opened his eyes. A terrifying and frightening light first appeared in his eyes, and then turned calm, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
Throughout his practice, he has caused a lot of trouble and made many enemies, but in the Chu Kingdom, he has always had a clean identity and no criminal record.
Apart from…
Wei Tu searched his mind and remembered the forces he might have offended, so he asked: "But the Guangyuan Yu family?"
In Chu State, he only had conflicts with Yu Jianglong, who was born in the Yu family of Guangyuan.
The other forces and monks have nothing to do with it.
“I have limited abilities and have not seen it with my own eyes.”
Bai Zhi shook her head.
The reason why she knew that someone was targeting Wei Tu was because after moving into the cave, she used formations to control the authority to rent the formations in the cave.
Through this, I realized that the same obscure spiritual consciousness had been exploring this cave many times.
So she didn’t know the true source of this obscure spiritual consciousness.
However, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
In the world of immortality, using one’s spiritual consciousness to explore a cave many times is undoubtedly a provocation to the owner of the cave and is regarded as an unfriendly behavior.
Therefore, generally speaking, no monk would deliberately use his spiritual consciousness to repeatedly explore a stranger's cave, let alone use cover-up methods to secretly explore.
"It shouldn't be the Guangyuan Yu family." After thinking for a while, Wei Tu made a judgment.
In front of Yu Jianglong, he had already revealed his mid-level third-level Sky-Splitting Eagle spiritual pet and his important identity as the chief alchemist of the Ying Ding Department.
As long as Yu Jianglong is not mentally deranged, it is unlikely that he will keep staring at him, causing him to confront the Guangyuan Yu family again.
In the final analysis, given his level and status, unless the Guangyuan Yu family is willing to risk everything and ignore the development of the clan, it is impossible to completely break up with him, especially if he takes the initiative to release his goodwill.
The Yu family of Guangyuan can help Yu Jianglong with small matters, but for major matters involving the safety of the clan, the Yu family of Guangyuan will not be so confused.
And Yu Jianglong's strength is not as good as him...
It is also impossible to take revenge alone.
“Could it be the Sun-shooting Department?” Wei Tu frowned slightly and thought to himself.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this possibility was unlikely.
After all, he did not reveal his true identity whether in Xiaohan Mountain or in front of Yan Xiaolan.
If there are no clues, how can the Sun-shooting monk know that he stole the ice soul fluid?
The most common methods used in the world of immortality to judge the murderer are generally only three.
一, appearance.
Two, breath.
Three, search for souls.
The first two kinds of Wei pictures have been concealed to the extreme.
In other words, using conventional means, except for searching Wei Tu's soul, the Sun-shooting monks could not prove that Wei Tu was the murderer who stole the ice soul fluid and killed Yu Wencheng.
After thinking for a while, Wei Tu made a decision. He took out a talisman letter from his arms, injected a magic power into it, and sent it out.
Half an hour later.
A middle-aged monk dressed as a businessman walked into the cave with a surprised look on his face.
“I wonder if you have any instructions?”
The middle-aged monk raised his hands and asked.
"Wei has something to say. I want to ask Yu Jianglong, and I would like to ask Mr. Yu to pass it on to him."
Wei Tu didn't say much. He glanced at the middle-aged monk in front of him, then waved his sleeves and robes, releasing the pressure of his golden elixir, and said in an indifferent tone.
The person in front of me is none other than someone else, but the steward responsible for leasing the cave here.
Although the Guangyuan Yu family gave the fourth-level spiritual land of Shengyang Mountain to the Yu Beast Sect, the nearby Fangshi assets were not given to the Yu Beast Sect. Instead, they have been firmly controlled by the Guangyuan Yu family.
It can be said that 90% of the commercial assets near the Yushou Sect belong to the Guangyuan Yu family.
Similarly, ninety-nine percent of the monks responsible for these commercial operations are members of the Guangyuan Yu family.
“What? Inform Elder Yu?”
When the middle-aged monk heard this, he was startled at first. After all, Yu Jianglong is a well-known genius and a master of golden elixir in the clan. With his status, it is almost impossible for him to get along with him. How can he have the ability to pass it on to Wei Tu on his behalf?
But then, after sensing the pressure of Wei Tu's golden elixir, the middle-aged monk suddenly understood why Wei Tu said this.
—It turns out that he is also the True Lord of the Golden Pill.
“Junior, please call the clan and ask Elder Jiang Long to come over.” The middle-aged monk bowed his hands and said in a humble tone.
This place is the territory of Guangyuan Yu family.
Wei Tu dared to be confident and asked Yu Jianglong to come in person instead of going to meet him himself, which was enough to prove that his identity and strength were probably extraordinary, otherwise he would not have the confidence.
About half an hour passed.
A fast escaping light fell into Fangshi and headed straight for the cave rented by Wei Tu.
“Yu thought that Alchemist Wei had left the Beast Control Sect, but he didn’t expect that he actually stayed in our clan’s spiritual mansion for a while…”
When Yu Jianglong saw Wei Tu who was welcoming him personally in the living room of the cave mansion, he laughed and spoke cheerfully, as if he had completely forgotten that he had been taught a lesson by Wei Tu not long ago.
“I made Elder Yu laugh.”
"Before Wei left, he accidentally obtained a method. He was greedy for a while, so he practiced it temporarily nearby."
Wei Tu smiled slightly and called Yu Jianglong to take a seat.
The two of them chatted for a while.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Tu got straight to the point and told the story of being watched in the rented cave.
“If Wei hadn’t been convinced of Elder Yu’s character, he might have mistakenly thought that the person watching the sentry was sent by Elder Yu.”
Wei Tu intends to point out the way.
The voice fell. Yu Jianglong's expression changed slightly. After all, he had already shaken hands with Wei Tu and made peace with him before. Now that Wei Tu said this, he undoubtedly pointed out that he was not trustworthy.
The implication is that if the Yu family removes the sentinels, the two sides can still maintain peace. Otherwise, it may be difficult to make peace.
“Alchemy Master Wei, the person watching the sentry is definitely not sent by Yu, it must be someone else!”
Yu Jianglong quickly expressed his stance.
“Not the Yu family?”
Hearing this, Wei Tu frowned and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Wei has always been on good terms with others, does not cause trouble, and is not good at fighting. How could he cause trouble for no reason?"
“Elder Yu, does he know that there are monks recently...in the territory of Guangyuan Yu Family and Beast Control Sect, inquiring about Wei?”
Wei Tu said this at the right time.
Previously, Wei Tu had already made a judgment that it was unlikely that the Guangyuan Yu family would become enemies with him again.
Therefore, now that he found Yu Jianglong through the steward of the Ling Mansion, he was actually just trying to find out the real "man behind the scenes" by using Yu Jianglong's connections in the Guangyuan Yu family and the Yushou Sect.
In a strange place, it was as difficult as trying to find someone in person, but with the help of Yu Jianglong, it was much easier.
Hearing this, Yu Jianglong felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not doubt Wei Tu's words.
In his opinion, Wei Tu was telling the truth.
After all, if Wei Tu had not been friendly with others and was used to causing trouble, he and Wei Tu would have been enemies for a long time, and there would be no chance for them to reunite in the same room.
Yu Jianglong guessed that the man behind the surveillance was a young man who became greedy after learning about Wei Tu's alchemy attainments and wanted to harm Wei Tu.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are many robber cultivators who want to rob, extort, and imprison alchemists.
“Two months ago, after Alchemy Master Wei’s identity was exposed, there were many monks who wanted to know about Alchemy Master Wei… However, most of these people were people who wanted to ask Alchemy Master Wei to make elixirs…”
Yu Jianglong pondered for a while and replied.
Even though he wanted to clear himself of the suspicion of following the sentry map, he could not ignore one thing and ignore the other at this time, randomly identify other monks, and then offend others.
“Yu will mobilize his family’s strength to compile a list as soon as possible and send it to Fellow Daoist Wei.”
Yu Jianglong’s face showed sincerity.
"Thank you, Elder Yu, for your help." After hearing this, Wei Tu's tense face relaxed a little and nodded.
Without further ado, Yu Jianglong did not stay in Wei Tu's cave for long. He bowed his hands and flew away immediately.
Half a day later.
Yu Jianglong held a jade slip and stepped into Wei Tu's cave again.
“This is the monk who has been inquiring about Alchemist Wei in the past two months.”
Yu Jianglong took his seat and said.
Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly. He thanked Yu Jianglong and took the jade slip.
There are many names on the jade slips, more than a hundred of them. Excluding the low-level Master Establishing the Foundation, there are eighteen remaining True Lords of the Golden Core.
Wei Tu glanced at the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and his eyes quickly fell on the name of a familiar person named "Fu Linglong".
“Is it her?” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that this woman had discovered that he was the real Yi Yun?
After all, when he came into contact with the Fu family brothers and sisters, it was not as "perfect" as it was in Xiaohan Mountain, and there were certain loopholes.
If Fu Linglong detects these loopholes, there is a high chance that he can guess that he is "Yi Yun".
However, Wei Tu was not as afraid of the Fu family brothers and sisters as he was with the Sheri Department.
—The Fu family brothers and sisters are not clean, and it is difficult to use justifiable reasons to ask Yuanying Ancestor to deal with him.
Without the Yuan Ying Patriarch participating in the war, with Wei Tu's level, he would not be afraid of the Fu family brothers and sisters.
“However, be careful about Ji Zhang!”
At this time, Wei Tu remembered Fu Linglong, Ji Zhang, the boss of the Six Desire Sect robbers.
Fu Linglong dared to come all the way to the Chu Kingdom to hunt him down. It was most likely that she was accompanying Fu Dalu, Ji Zhang and other Six Desire Sect robbers, rather than acting alone.
“In this case, to solve this problem, it’s best to stay near the Beast Control Sect…”
Wei Tu squinted his eyes and thought.
Fu Linglong is not an ordinary person, but a powerful Jindan who has mastered "other minds". It is not easy for him to leave under Fu Linglong's eyes now.
With "other minds", it is difficult for his disguise technique to be effective.
After all, Fu Linglong only needs to sense, who has the means to resist his "other minds" magical power. From this, his identity can be determined.
Thinking of this, Wei Tu put down the jade slip and looked at Yu Jianglong who was sitting in the second seat.
“Elder Yu, I am afraid that Wei is being targeted by the Jie cultivators this time. If these Jie cultivators dare to take Wei’s idea, their strength must be quite high…”
“And Wei is alone outside with no help…”
Wei Tu sighed softly and said.
Hearing this, Yu Jianglong immediately understood that Wei Tu wanted to hire the Guangyuan Yu family as bodyguards.
Yu Jianglong was not surprised by this.
In other words, when he came for the second time, he had predicted that Wei Tu would most likely ask the Beast Control Sect or the Guangyuan Yu family to act as bodyguards to protect him.
Weitu's combat power is indeed extraordinary, but this is relative to him.
For extremely vicious robbers, their strength will inevitably be reduced if they are alone.
Besides, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall.
No matter how powerful Wei Tu is, there is no need to go to the meeting alone and fight against the Jie Xiu gang.
The best strategy is to choose local forces as bodyguards. A normal person's choice.
“The Guangyuan Yu family can agree to Alchemist Wei’s request, but we also have conditions... As long as Alchemist Wei agrees to this condition, the Guangyuan Yu family will do its best to **** the people..."
Yu Jianglong smiled slightly, turned his palm, took out a piece of spiritual deed, and handed it to Wei Tu with his magic power.
The goodwill of third-level alchemy masters is not lacking for their Nascent Soul family, the Guangyuan Yu family.
What they lack is real benefits!
"Conditions?" Wei Tu looked thoughtful. He waved his hand and took the spiritual contract.
After briefly browsing for a while, Wei Tu nodded secretly, knowing that the Yu family did not take advantage of the situation.
This spiritual contract does not have any personal constraints on him. It was just an agreement that after his alchemy attainments reach the third level of high-grade, he must refine ten furnaces of third-level elixirs for the Guangyuan Yu family within a hundred years.
Of course, these ten furnaces of third-level elixirs refer to successfully refined elixirs, not waste elixirs.
In addition, he was also given certain constraints on the success rate of alchemy. If too many elixirs were wasted, he, the alchemist who started the alchemy process, would also have to lose money.
As for the reward…
It is 30% lower than the normal market price.
However, Wei Tu also knew the reason why the Guangyuan Yu family did not take advantage of the situation.
This is not a discovery of his conscience, but for two reasons.
First of all, his status is not low, and if the Guangyuan Yu family offers too high a price, it is easy for him to suffer backlash.
If you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
The two are in business competition with the Beast Control Sect.
If the price offered by the Guangyuan Yu family was too high, it would be a big deal for him to go to the Beast Control Sect again.
…
“Wei agrees to this spiritual contract.”
Wei Tu didn't hesitate much. He signed his name on the spiritual contract and injected his own aura.
“Mr. Wei is so happy!”
Seeing this scene, Yu Jianglong suddenly showed a smile on his face. He stood up, took the spirit deed, and saluted Wei Tu.
Soon.
Wei Tu and Yu Jianglong began to discuss the specific bodyguard strength needed by the Guangyuan Yu family.
During the period, Wei Tu mentioned that when necessary, the Guangyuan Yu family would need to call on their own Yuan Ying Ancestor.
Yu Jianglong didn’t pay much attention to this request and agreed with a smile.
He didn’t think that a mere gang of robbers could alert his Yuan Ying Ancestor to take action.
The Guangyuan Yu family is just a weak monk at the Yuanying stage. At the Jindan level, it is no different from the other six Yuanying families.
One is at the peak of the Golden Core and two are at the late stage of the Golden Core. The bodyguard group composed of these three people is enough to protect Wei Tu's safety when he goes to Kang State.
“Brother Yu, I have a lot of work to do.”
After the discussion, when Wei Tu sent Yu Jianglong off in person, he changed his title from "Elder Yu" to "Brother Yu" to show his closeness.
I wish all readers a happy New Year!
