Chapter 438 Cao Mi breaks through and is called Brother Dao (5k4, please subscribe)
However, Wei Tu did not try rashly next, using the lamp oil of the Sky Star Lamp as a basis to summon another Chilong fantasy beast within the fire cloud cover.
After all, the lamp oil of Tianxing Lamp is different from his mana. Once consumed, it takes a certain amount of time to recover if it is to be restored.
The blood-anointed lamp oil he now has in his hands has been accumulated for several years.
And at this very moment,
Just when Wei Tu was about to cast a spell to take the chilong phantom beast back into the fire cloud cover.
At the Cao Mi Cave Mansion next door, a huge whirlpool of spiritual energy suddenly rose up at this moment.
“Starting to condense the Nascent Soul spirit body.”
Wei Tu looked up and immediately used experience to deduce Cao Mi's current breakthrough process.
“From now on, it’s time for me, the protector of the Tao, to really get busy.”
Wei Tu's face was slightly solemn. He waved his sleeves and robe, and the pressure of his Nascent Soul was dispersed outside the Ningyue Palace.
Under the coercion of Nascent Soul.
Soon, the spiritual energy vortex appeared, and the monks' spiritual consciousness that was attracted was like a tide, escaping in all directions.
…
The whirlpool of spiritual energy that Cao Mi condensed when he formed a baby far exceeded the vortex of spiritual energy that Wei Yan condensed when she formed an elixir.
Therefore, at the moment when the spiritual energy vortex appeared, almost all the spiritual energy around Ningyue Palace and Jingshui Pavilion was swept away by it like a whale sucking in hundreds of rivers.
As a sect of overseas Chinese cultivators, Jingshui Pavilion, which has received great favor from Ningyue Palace, cannot deliberately indulge Shen Yunqiu and others like it did to Wei Yan, and deliberately cause trouble for the breakthrough of Cao Mi, the master of Ningyue Palace. .
Therefore, the targets of Weitu's security are mostly foreign cultivators outside Ningyue Palace and Jingshui Pavilion.
"Strange! How come the monk protecting Cao Mi in Ningyue Palace is Wei Tu and not Patriarch Luo?"
After hearing the news, the ancestors of various sects who came to inquire about the activities of Ningyue Palace couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this situation.
Although Wei Tu did not show up this time, based on their behavior, it was not difficult to distinguish the auras of Wei Tu and Luo Ancestor, the two Yuan Ying ancestors of Kang State.
A period of time.
Ancestors from all factions have some speculations about the safety of Ancestor Luo of Ningyue Palace.
However, they were only guessing and did not take any action to prove their own ideas.
After all, the current Ningyue Palace has Wei Tu helping to protect the road.
And Wei Tu was not a casual cultivator, behind him stood the large tribe of Ying Ding.
There are three great masters supporting it!
This intimidating force is even more frightening than if Patriarch Luo was here alone to help protect the road.
…
At the same moment.
In the Jingshui Pavilion, which is separated by a mountain from Ningyue Palace.
After Ning Xuefeng realized all this, she couldn't help but frown slightly and felt a little confused.
She has two doubts.
First, when did the relationship between Cao Mi and Wei Tu become so good?
The second point is also the most critical point.
The mystery of Patriarch Luo’s traces is whether he is dead or alive!
After all, if Cao Mi had not determined that something was wrong with Patriarch Luo, it would have been impossible for him to have rashly invited Wei Tu, an outsider, to settle in the sect to protect himself.
Just the life and death of Patriarch Luo.
Ning Xuefeng doesn’t care too much.
But the crux of the problem is that the ancestor of their sect, Master Hongjing, also came out with Patriarch Luo. So far, there has been no news, and his life and death are unknown.
If Cao Mi hadn't appeared, Ning Xuefeng wouldn't have worried too much about the life and death of Master Hongjing. After all, it was unlikely that something would happen to the ancestor of Yuanying.
But now, Ning Xuefeng did not dare to be too sure.
She had to prepare for the worst.
“I hope nothing happens to my ancestor.” Ning Xuefeng sighed secretly.
The current Jingshui Pavilion is not comparable to Ningyue Palace.
Once Master Hongjing really dies, it will be difficult for Jingshui Pavilion to give birth to a Nascent Soul Ancestor to protect the sect in a short period of time.
However, it didn't take long for Ning Xuefeng to feel that her worries were unnecessary.
Without it, shortly after the birth of a baby in Ningyue Palace. About a year later, Master Hongjing, who had been "missing" for a long time, returned to the sect.
only-
Ning Xuefeng found that something seemed wrong with Master Hongjing's current state.
Compared to when he left the sect, his breath was erratic and his face showed pain from time to time, as if he had suffered internal injuries that were difficult to resolve.
“Ancestor, are you seriously injured?” Seeing this, Ning Xuefeng was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward to greet him.
“No problem, just a minor injury.”
Master Hongjing waved his hand and used his magic power to push back Ning Xuefeng, who was about to step forward to help her.
Then, Master Hongjing seemed to sense something. He glanced outside, let out a light sigh, and asked, "Who is having a baby in Ningyue Palace now?"
“But Cao Mi, that girl?”
Without waiting for Cao Yan to answer, the people in the red mirror said this sentence.
"Yes, ancestor. The person who gave birth to the baby is Cao Mi, the current master of Ningyue Palace."
Ning Xuefeng bowed slightly and replied.
"Cao Mi, this girl, has a baby, and she can actually attract Wei Tu to be her personal protector. It seems that these two people have a good relationship."
Hong Jingshang smiled and joked.
However, Ning Xuefeng felt an inexplicable chill from these words.
She suddenly realized that Master Hongjing was criticizing her as the pavilion master for not doing enough.
Obviously it was Jingshui Pavilion who had the advantage in getting along with Wei Tu at the earliest, but now, it is Ning Yue Palace who took the lead in establishing friendly relations with Wei Tu and achieving today's in-depth cooperation.
“Ancestor, this is Shen Yunqiu…”
Ning Xuefeng quickly defended.
She doesn't want to take on this responsibility.
After all, if Shen Yunqiu hadn't blocked Wei Yan's breakthrough in Jingshui Pavilion back then, and then used a fake breakthrough to block his way again, the relationship between Wei Tu and Jingshui Pavilion would not be as rigid as it is now.
And she, here, has tried her best to mediate.
Without her presence, I am afraid that the current Wei Tu would have regarded Jingshui Pavilion as his enemy.
“I know this.”
Master Hongjing waved his hand, signaling Ning Xuefeng not to say too much.
Seeing this, Ning Xuefeng could only pause and stuff the words of defense in her throat back into her stomach.
But soon, Ning Xuefeng opened up another topic and brought up what she wanted to know most.
“Ancestor, how is the safety of Ancestor Luo now?” She asked in a low voice.
A few years ago, she saw with her own eyes that Master Hongjing and Patriarch Luo came out hand in hand.
Nowadays, Hong Jingshang is seriously injured and his return to the clan has been postponed. Accordingly, something may be wrong with Patriarch Luo.
“Senior Sister Luo…”
Master Hongjing was silent for a moment and did not answer Ning Xuefeng's question.
“It’s hard to talk about this matter. I will tell you when the time is right.”
“Now, I will go to Ningyue Palace first.”
The man on the red mirror said in a solemn voice.
After finishing speaking, Master Hongjing didn't wait for Ning Xuefeng to reply, then turned into a red escaping light and fled in the direction of Ningyue Palace.
…
Not long.
Wei Tu, who was guarding the Ningyue Palace area and protecting Cao Mi, sensed the aura of Master Hongjing outside the Ningyue Palace.
At the same time, Fairy Frost, who was the acting palace master, also discovered the traces of Master Hongjing through the fourth-level defense formation of Ningyue Palace.
“Uncle Wei, do you want to let Master Hongjing in?” Fairy Frost walked into the cave, bowed her hands and asked Wei Tu for his opinion.
She also has some experience in handling the internal affairs of Ningyue Palace. But in foreign affairs, there is no such thing.
In addition, Master Hongjing’s strength is enough to threaten Cao Mi’s retreat.
Therefore, no matter whether the person on the red mirror has good or evil intentions, she needs to handle it carefully and consult Wei Tu, the guardian of the road, for his opinion immediately.
“No need to let her in.”
Wei Tu makes a decision.
“If the person on the red mirror comes with good intentions, he will not stick to the details and mind whether he enters Ningyue Palace as a guest.”
“Even if you are a sensible person, you will take the initiative to avoid suspicion. Avoid being exposed to melons and plums.”
He explained patiently.
“Uncle Wei is capable of making good decisions.”
Hearing this, Fairy Frost couldn't help but brighten her beautiful eyes while praising him, secretly thinking that her master had indeed found the wrong person.
At this time, refusing Master Hongjing to enter Ningyue Palace may not seem like a big deal, but if Master Hongjing is a narrow-minded person...this decision may cause Wei Tu to have a grudge for no reason.
But the other way around.
Wei Tuken took responsibility at this moment, which also proved in disguise that he was of noble character and was truly helping Cao Mi to protect the road, rather than just going through the motions.
After the discussion, Wei Tu did not stay in the cave for long. Instead, he and Frost Fairy came to the entrance of Ningyue Palace to welcome the arrival of Master Hongjing.
The two of them had suitable excuses for not allowing Master Hongjing to join the sect.
But if you don’t greet him personally, you will inevitably be suspected of insulting Master Hongjing, the ancestor of Nascent Soul.
“Fellow Taoist Hongjing.”
"Fellow Daoist Wei." Shaoqing, Wei Tu and Master Hongjing greeted each other across the formation of Ningyue Palace.
“I wonder, fellow Taoist Hongjing... why you came to Ningyue Palace this time?”
“Wei is now a Taoist protector of fellow Taoist Cao. In order to fulfill his duty of protecting the Taoist, he can only block Taoist Hongjing from the door. Please forgive me, Taoist Hongjing.”
Wei Tu smiled slightly and got straight to the point.
At this sensitive moment, Master Hongjing suddenly came to visit. If he said that he was just visiting for a visit and having fun, Wei Tu would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
In addition, Patriarch Luo's "disappearance and default" is also inseparable from Master Hongjing.
At this time, although Wei Tu could not directly confess the matter, he thought that Master Hongjing was probably well aware of this.
Hold the door?
Hearing this, Master Hongjing was immediately startled, and felt quite annoyed. After all, she was the noble Nascent Soul, where could she go without being treated politely? How have you ever been rejected by others?
However, it is not worth it to fall out with Wei Tu and Ning Yue Palace just because of this matter.
So, although the man in the red mirror was angry in his heart, he did not show any abnormality on his face.
"This time, I came to Ningyue Palace to discuss the matter with fellow Taoist Luo and Palace Master Cao. But now, Palace Master Cao is in seclusion..."
Master Hongjing sighed and then answered Wei Tu's question.
"Fellow Daoist Luo?" Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a look of great interest.
However, at this point, Master Hongjing suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.
After a while, Master Hongjing spoke again and said: "The matter about Fellow Daoist Luo is too complicated to explain in a few words. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Wei can move to the Immortal Wind Palace and discuss it in detail. ”
“I, after all, am a majestic Nascent Soul Master. If I stay at the entrance of Ningyue Palace for a long time, I will be in a loss of status.” A wry smile appeared on the face of the man in the red mirror.
These words are reasonable and reasonable.
Wei Tu did not have much doubt.
After all, having a Nascent Soul Ancestor standing at the door is indeed too eye-catching.
Moreover, the Ningyue Palace at this time also attracted the attention of almost all the forces in Kang State.
However, after hearing the words "Xianfeng Palace", Wei Tu still shook his head and rejected Master Hongjing's suggestion.
Xianfeng Palace is a side hall of Ningyue Palace and is not under the protection of the main palace formation of Ningyue Palace.
Last time, when he borrowed land to entertain Yu Gongshou and the others, the banquet was held at Xianfeng Palace.
In other words, if he moves to Xianfeng Palace to discuss the matter in detail with Master Hongjing, it will be equivalent to temporarily leaving the formation of Ningyue Palace...
Tune the tiger away from the mountain?
Wei Tu believes that the chance of the person on the red mirror having this idea is not high, but as a protector, he should nip it in the bud.
Besides, given his status, it is not appropriate for him to listen too much to the private affairs of Ningyue Palace.
Even if Wei Tu understands that he is now helping Cao Mi protect the road, in the eyes of Waixiu (Master Hongjing), his relationship with Cao Mi is already considered an extremely close person... Knowing these secrets is not a big deal.
But if you can avoid suspicion, you still need to try to avoid it.
Moreover, there were only one or two years left before Cao Mi was released from seclusion. At that time, it would not hurt him to hear this secret again.
After thinking about it, Wei Tu truthfully told Master Hongjing his concerns one by one.
“I would also like to ask Fellow Daoist Hongjing to return to Jingshui Pavilion temporarily. After Fellow Daoist Cao comes out of seclusion, Mr. Wei will visit him hand in hand.”
Wei Tu showed sincerity on his face.
Hearing this, Master Hongjing could not say any more. She nodded slightly, nodded to Wei Tu, and then left the palace gate of Ningyue Palace.
…
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
On this day, in the sky above Ningyue Palace, a strong wind suddenly came up, dark clouds gathered, and blue thunder thunder roared in the air and poured out downwards.
Immediately afterwards, two chakra magic weapons came out from the Cao Mi Cave on the ground and faced the calamity thunder.
This moon wheel magic weapon is extremely tough. It has withstood several tribulation thunders without showing any signs of weakness.
"Fourth-level low-grade magic weapon?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the foundation of Ningyue Palace, a ten-thousand-year-old sect, should not be underestimated.
This time, after participating in the Feixian Alliance's secret market trade fair in Yuanze Fairy City, his vision and knowledge have also been greatly improved.
I know that many Yuanying casual cultivators use mostly third-level magic weapons, instead of the fourth-level magic weapons that their realm should use.
In other words, in this aspect alone, Cao Mi, who was born in a sect, was ahead of the vast majority of Yuanying casual cultivators after being promoted to the realm of Yuanying.
“With this set of fourth-level magical weapons, it will not be difficult for Cao Mi to successfully overcome the tribulation.”
Weitu made a judgment in his mind.
The power of the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation varies from person to person.
Cao Mi was a member of the Qing Dynasty, and he had never done anything harmful to nature or justice in his life.
Hence, the power of its thunder tribulation falls into the low category of ordinary thunder tribulation.
It is not as powerful as the thunder tribulation used by demon cultivators.
Hence, even if Cao Mi did not have the moon wheel magic weapon as a weapon to overcome the tribulation, his success rate in overcoming the tribulation would not be too low.
as expected.
Just as Wei Tu expected, Cao Mi survived the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation safely within three days, even more relaxed and casual than he was in the past.
After three months.
Cao Mi stabilized his realm and broke through the barriers.
“This time, I have Brother Wei Dao to protect me.” Cao Mi walked to Wei Tu Cave in person, bowed to Wei Tu Yingying, and said with gratitude on his face.
This time, although Wei Tu encountered no danger on his way to protect the road, Cao Mi knew that without Wei Tu here, trouble would have come on the first day when the baby vision appeared.
This is just Wei Tu's "those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements".
After all, no matter which power, no one wants to see an additional Yuanying Ancestor in Ningyue Palace.
Secondly, regardless of whether Wei Tu tried his best or not, he more or less stayed in Ningyue Palace for her for three years.
And here, there is almost no reward at all!
Some of it was just a debt of gratitude she owed to Wei Tu.
Of course, this is not Cao Mi who does not want to pay Wei Tu the reward, but as a golden elixir monk before, except for the tribulation magic weapon and the opportunity to conceive a baby... other treasures in her body are valuable, so she will sacrifice them If you give it to Wei Tu, you will inevitably be suspected of humiliating Wei Tu.
On the contrary, her debt of gratitude is relatively precious in comparison.
“Brother Wei Dao?”
Hearing Cao Mi's more affectionate address to him, Wei Tu couldn't help but smile a little more.
It doesn’t matter whether Cao Mi’s words are true or not, but it is better to express this attitude than not to express it at all.
After this battle, he and Cao Mi had a relatively close relationship.
Whether the relationship can get closer in the future depends on whether he can lend a helping hand to him in times of crisis.
After all, true friendship comes only through adversity.
However, it is obvious that in the future, he will ask Cao Mi for help with some small things, and this woman will definitely have no problem.
"In those days, fellow Taoist Cao helped my Wei family a lot. What Wei did today was just repayment in return."
Wei Tu smiled faintly and replied.
"One thing is the same thing. Brother Wei Dao cannot confuse these things."
Cao Mi shook his head slightly and said seriously.
After finishing speaking, Cao Mi seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and glanced at Wei Tu. He bowed his sleeves and said, "If Dao Brother Wei doesn't mind, just call me junior sister. There's no need to call me fellow Taoist, it's so unfamiliar."
Even though she is much older than Wei Tu, the one who achieves it comes first. Wei Tu entered the Nascent Soul realm first, so he should be the elder brother of the two of them.
To this request.
Of course Wei Tu would not refuse. He came to help Cao Mi protect the road this time because he came here to expand Cao Mi's network as a new Nascent Soul.
After a while, Wei Tu changed his tone and called Cao Mi "Junior Sister Cao".
At this moment, Fairy Frost also mentioned to Master Cao Mi the sudden visit from Master Hongjing a year ago.
"Brother Wei Dao is indeed a conscientious person!" After hearing the corresponding details, Cao Mi's clear eyes moved, and there was a strange look in his eyes when he looked at Wei Tu.
Years ago, when she and Wei Tu conspired to deprive Shen Yunqiu of the true spirit essence, she had mentioned that after having a baby, she would marry Wei Tu and become a Yuanying Taoist companion.
Later, with Wei Tu’s refusal, the matter fell into nothing.
But now, Cao Mi feels that this thing in the past may one day be possible.
After all, Wei Tu, like her, is a new Yuanying, and can be regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman.
Of course, the most important thing is that after this encounter, she no longer has the previous rejection of Wei Tu in her heart.
“A few years ago, Patriarch Luo left with Master Hongjing to explore the Zhaoming Dead Sea. Now, Master Hongjing has returned alone.”
“In view of emotion and reason, I should also find Master Hongjing once and ask about Patriarch Luo.”
Cao Mi said after pondering for a moment.
“It’s just that I have just been promoted to Nascent Soul and my magic power is low. I will inevitably have to work hard this time...Brother Wei Dao went with me.” Cao Mi looked apologetic.
Different from Wei Tu, the spiritual object she used to break through was not a psychic thing, so her control over her own mana was far less smooth and smooth than when Wei Tu broke through.
Hence, she is now at her most vulnerable in the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, she did not dare to go alone to meet the Master of the Red Mirror.
“Even if Junior Sister Cao doesn’t mention this matter, Wei is still willing to go. After all, Wei is also interested in the places explored by Patriarch Luo and Master Hongjing.”
Wei Tu smiled slightly and replied.
Sometimes, risk means opportunity.
Ancestor Luo can get the "Infant Transformation Pill" from here, and in turn, he might also be able to get further treasures from it.
During the Chinese New Year, visiting relatives takes up time. After finishing this chapter, I will try to add more chapters about asking for leave.
