I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

"That's right. It would be great if casual cultivators can have such a strange foundation-building method. How can they worry about the consequences of shortening their lifespan by fifty years?"

Wei Tu's expression softened slightly.

It is difficult for most casual cultivators to get a "Foundation Pill", let alone a "Foundation Pill" to build the foundation.

Compared with the 20% increase in the probability of foundation building, the fifty years of life span reduced by the demon foundation building method are indeed nothing to mention.

He Lianxiong did not explain to him the consequences of this unusual foundation-building method in advance, which was indeed deceiving, but it was not a big mistake.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Tu took out two high-quality demon refining talismans again, and together with the high-quality demon refining talisman placed on the coffee table, used mana to send them to He Lianxiong.

"Three high-quality demon refining talismans should be enough for Fellow Daoist Helian to use."

Wei Tu took a sip of tea.

"That's enough, that's enough." He Lianxiong looked overjoyed when he saw these three talismans.

Back then, what he gave Wei Tu was only the method for making the demon refining talisman and the first-level talisman master's inheritance passed down from his ancestors, Tong Peipei, a Taoist companion.

The subsequent requirements for drawing the "Demon Refining Talisman" were all borne by Wei Tu.

The cost involved...even if Wei Tu is a genius talisman master, it is probably quite a lot.

At least a few hundred spiritual stones.

If there are too many, even thousands of spirit stones can't stop it.

Now that Wei Tu is in a superior position, he is willing to give him three high-quality demon refining talismans for trading. This is really his luck.

Far beyond his expectations.

Thinking of this, He Lianxiong gritted his teeth, took out another jade slip from his body, and handed it to Wei Tu.

He said: "Senior Wei, my ancestors have done a lot of research on the troubles of this demonic foundation-building method... This jade slip is some way to reduce the troubles. Please accept it, Senior Wei."

The method of building the demon soul's foundation is divided into two parts: upper and lower.

The upper part is the foundation building method.

The lower part contains tips for eliminating future troubles.

The blood-colored jade slip he gave to Wei Tu before was only the upper part of the demon's foundation-building method.

And the lower part——

If Wei Tu tried to rob him, coerce or induce him, he would not hand over this part under any circumstances.

"How to reduce future troubles?" When Wei Tu heard He Lianxiong's words, he secretly sighed that he was lucky.

If he hadn't always adhered to the principle of "doing things with kindness", he might have missed the second half of this unusual foundation building.

…

Just sent He Lianxiong away.

At the entrance of Luoxueyuan, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman appeared.

"Congratulations to Senior Wei for building a hundred years of foundation and becoming a role model for our casual cultivators in Danqiu Mountain..."

The person who came was none other than "Shen Yao", the steward of Baibao Pavilion. He held a congratulatory gift in his hand and expressed congratulations to Wei Tu.

"This is all thanks to Fairy Kou's support."

Wei Tu accepted the gift and blamed Kou Hongying for the reason for his success in foundation building.

He believed that most of the casual cultivators in Danqiu Mountain believed that his ability to build the foundation was inseparable from Kou Hongying's help.

However, he was also happy with it.

This matter was harmless to Kou Hongying, but it was very beneficial to himself.

Wei Tu invited Shen Yao to take a seat at the entrance and made some spiritual tea to entertain Shen Yao.

"It seems that Wei Tu doesn't know that the last time I invited him to explore Xiaoyao Mountain was to rob and kill him." Seeing the enthusiasm on Wei Tu's face, Shen Yao felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yao pretended to be calm.

After taking a few sips of tea, he took out an invitation, leaned forward, bowed slightly, handed his hands to Wei Tu, and said:

"Senior Wei, in half a month, the Baibao Pavilion's auction will be held every five years..."

"This is an invitation to participate in the auction, as well as a ticket to the box on the third floor..."

Box ticket?

Wei Tu was slightly surprised, and reached out to take the invitation from Shen Yao, as well as the box ticket included in the invitation.

When he saw Shen Yao, he thought Shen Yao was just testing his words to see if he held a grudge.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yao made this trip in person to send him an invitation to the Baibao Pavilion auction.

"This is the status of Master Ji Zhu."

Wei Tu sighed secretly.

Before the foundation was established, Shen Yao's status as the manager of Baibao Pavilion was much higher than that of a Talisman Master like him.

In Danqiu Mountain, he is a kind of person with head and face.

How can I do errands?

Chatted for a while.

Shen Yao brought the topic to the "Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce", a subordinate force of Baibao Pavilion.

"Although Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce is not as good as the three major immortal sects and the seven major immortal cultivating families, it has strong financial resources..."

"Senior Wei, if you want to join the immortal cultivation force, you may consider the Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce..."

"Juniors can make introductions on my behalf."

Shen Yao said with a smile.

Wei Tu nodded without comment.

He knew clearly that if Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce wanted to recruit him, the lobbyist they would send would never be a Qi-training monk like Shen Yao.

Without substantive conditions, how could he easily express his position?

Shen Yao said this because he was just habitually soliciting business for himself. After all, persuading a foundation-building master to join the Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce would bring him a lot of personal benefits.

About Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce.

Wei Tu also learned something about it through the jade slips Kou Hongying gave him.

Jiuyun Chamber of Commerce is a medium-sized chamber of commerce jointly founded by three major foundation-building families. It has stores in several cities including Danqiu Mountain.

It recruits casual cultivators to build foundations, and the treatment they provide is generally very good.

However, Wei Tu had no intention of joining this chamber of commerce.

The next level after foundation building is the golden elixir.

And during these hundreds of years, without exception, none of the casual cultivators who joined the Foundation Establishment family had achieved the Golden Core realm.

They are all wasting their time in the foundation building realm.

Until death.

On the contrary, two of the casual cultivators who joined the Jindan family have achieved the Jindan realm, become the ancestors of the Jindan family, and enjoy freedom.

This information is not a big secret in the world of Zheng Guo's immortality.

certainly.

Time rolls upward.

It is not necessarily true that none of the casual cultivators who join the Foundation Establishment Family will achieve the Golden Elixir.

However, Wei Tu would not bet on such a small probability.

Joining the Golden elixir family may not offer the same benefits as the Foundation-building family, nor may you have as much say as those in the Foundation-building family, but one advantage is that the platform is large enough—you can see the possibility of becoming a Golden elixir.

…

That’s it.

Shen Yao saw Wei Tu lowering his head to drink tea with a look of lack of interest. He promptly said goodbye, got up and left.

It is different from sending He Lianxiong away.

Wei Tu did not send Shen Yao who came to visit.

He Lianxiong and him were considered friends, while Shen Yao and him were just casual acquaintances.

Sending Shen Yao off in person would be a loss of status for a foundation-building master like him.

Shen Yao leaned over and walked out of Luoxueyuan. When he stepped out of the cave door, he straightened up and took a deep breath.

However, just when he looked up, he saw a girl in a white dress suddenly appeared in front of him...

Subconsciously, Shen Yao bent down again.

"Shen pays homage to Senior Zhao."

Shen Yao endured the pain and said.

This sudden scene almost broke his old waist.

"Wei Tu came out of seclusion?" Zhao Qingluo looked at Shen Yao and said indifferently.

Half a year ago, the news of Wei Tu's foundation spread from Danqiu Mountain to Qiyue Zhao's family.

Because she has an old relationship with Wei Tu, the family entrusted her with the task of recruiting Wei Tu this time.

It's just that things are different now.

She visited Wei Tu in order to win over and recruit Wei Tu. She couldn't just rush into Luoxueyuan without any care, so she could only wait patiently outside the cave.

"Senior Wei is out of seclusion."

Shen Yao nodded and responded quickly.

…

Wait for Shen Yao to leave.

Zhao Qingluo thought for a moment, but instead of knocking on the door to ask for a meeting, she took out a talisman letter and sent it to Luoxue Courtyard.

Getting Started with Waiting for Fu Xin.

Half an hour later.

When Zhao Qingluo saw Wei Tu going out to greet him, her hidden body was revealed and she stood in front of Wei Tu.

"It seems that the princess came at the right time, just when the Talisman Guard Master came out of seclusion..."

Zhao Qingluo smiled.

"This humble house is humble, I would like to be the host...invite Princess Qingluo...to dine in the private room of Jingyun Residence..."

Wei Tu bowed his hands in vain.

In his cave, there is still a "sky-cracking sculpture" that took away Zhao Qingluo's storage bag.

Wei Tu didn't know whether Zhao Qingluo had the same method as him, and could use the "Xiangluo Nose" to identify smells and track down the enemy.

Of course you have to be careful about this.

Although he was confident that even if Zhao Qingluo knew what happened back then, it would not pose any great threat to him, but if it could be avoided, it would be better to avoid it as much as possible.

Wei Tu's words sounded familiar to Zhao Qingluo, as if Wei Tu had said these words when he met her for the first time decades ago.

"Guard Talisman Master please."

Zhao Qingluo nodded slightly and stepped forward to lead the way, "This time I can do it myself, not the Talisman Guard."

Concubine?

Hearing Zhao Qingluo's self-effacing remarks.

Wei Tu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He remembered that when Zhao Qingluo got along with him decades ago, there was "my princess" on the left and "my princess" on the right. Their arrogance was palpable.

Now, she actually took the initiative to apologize to him and called him my concubine.

This appearance reminded Wei Tu of the various scenes in which Zhao Qingluo lost his composure after being hit by the "Aphrodisiac". The contrast was huge.

The two came to Jingyunju's box.

Zhao Qingluo ordered a table of good noodles.

"Master Talisman Guard, I don't want to show off anymore. This time I come to Talisman Guard Master in order to recruit Talisman Guard Master... to join my Qiyue Zhao family..."

After taking a seat, Zhao Qingluo got straight to the point and directly stated her purpose.

"If Master Wei is willing, the Qiyue Zhao family can not only give Master Wei a set of second-level Talisman Master inheritance..."

"Concubine, second-level cave, exercises, magic weapons, etc., all the cultivation needs will be given to the Talisman Guard accordingly."

Zhao Qingluo made conditions.

This salary is very generous, it can be said that... as long as Wei Tu joins the Qiyue Zhao family, he will own all the "law couple's wealth" in the world of immortality.

But Wei Tu was calm.

Even without Kou Hongying's reminder, the two major families of the Jindan family, the Qiyue Zhao family and the Chisong Jia family, were the two families that he would immediately exclude and refuse to join.

He didn't want to die in the battle between these two families.

The Qiyue Zhao family offered him a higher price.

On the contrary, he wanted to refuse more and more.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Wei's qualifications are low. Now he is lucky enough to build the foundation. He doesn't want to drag down the Zhao family because of this..."

Wei Tu carefully considered his words and declined politely.

unexpectedly.

Zhao Qingluo didn't seem to understand the meaning of Wei Tu's words.

She frowned slightly and said: "Master Wei Talisman has been building his foundation for a hundred years. In terms of qualifications, even if he is not as good as some geniuses, he is still considered to have considerable potential in the Jindan family..."

"There is no need to be too modest about such things."

Zhao Qingluo waved her hand.

The words fell.

Wei Tu choked for one.

He thought for a moment and decided to speak more plainly.

"The princess's family and the Chisong Jia family are at odds with each other. They have been fighting for many years. They are a place of right and wrong."

"Not only Wei, but other foundation-building casual cultivators, if they want to join the immortal cultivating force, the first thing to exclude... is the princess family and the Chisong Jia family..."

As soon as this sentence came out.

Zhao Qingluo's face became more thoughtful.

"I see."

After a long time, Zhao Qingluo sighed.

Before coming, she was still wondering why the clan leader offered Wei Tu such a high condition. Now that she thought about it, it turned out to be because the Qiyue Zhao family had reached a "precarious" situation in the eyes of casual cultivators.

"Which family does Master Talisman Master plan to join in the future? I can help Master Talisman Guard make some plans."

Zhao Qingluo rolled her eyes and remembered the clan leader's instructions before she left.

——Wei Tu can’t be persuaded to join the Qiyue Zhao family, but he can be persuaded to join a family that has good relations with their Qiyue Zhao family.

"Wei hasn't decided yet."

Wei Tu shook his head, refusing to tell his true plan.

It is a big taboo to talk superficially and deeply.

"What about the Huang family in Heshan? This Jindan family has good relations with my Zhao family. There has been no war for many years."

Zhao Qingluo said bluntly.

"Wei will give more consideration to this Jindan family." Wei Tu said perfunctorily.

The conversation between the two quickly chilled the atmosphere in the box.

The two ate in silence.

Half an hour later.

Zhao Qingluo took the initiative and said: "Master Wei Talisman, as long as you don't join the Chisong Jia family's camp... In the future, I can make the decision for your second-level talismans on behalf of the family, so go and purchase more."

Hearing that there was a profit, Wei Tu couldn't help but relax. He said: "Wei and Princess Qingluo are old acquaintances. I don't want to be on the opposite side of the princess. If I join the Xiuxian family, I will definitely not choose Chisong." The Jia family’s camp.”

After getting this answer.

Zhao Qingluo did not stay in Jingyunju's box for long and left with satisfaction.

…

After Zhao Qingluo left.

Wei Tu met envoys sent by several other major cultivating families one after another.

Although the conditions offered by these major immortal cultivating families to Wei Tu were not as high as those offered by the Qiyue Zhao family, they were still pretty good.

The second-level talisman master inheritance and second-level immortal cultivation techniques that Wei Tu urgently needed were only the basic conditions provided by these major immortal cultivation families.

But Wei Tu is no exception.

None of these major cultivating families gave a clear answer.

Instead, he waits for the price and waits for a certain cultivating family to offer him better and higher treatment.

time flies.

Soon, it was time for the auction held every five years in Baibao Pavilion.

this auction.

There appeared the "Condensing Foundation Pill" that Wei Tu had never forgotten before building the foundation.

This Foundation Condensation Pill will be auctioned as the final treasure at the end of the auction.

"One thousand one hundred spirit stones."

In the private room on the third floor, Wei Tu bid for it.

I saw that there was a bid from Master Ji Zhu.

The atmosphere in the hall on the second floor was silent. All the cultivators looked at each other in confusion. Several monks who made bids also had hesitant expressions on their faces.

If they follow the price after Master Ji Zhu, there is undoubtedly the possibility of offending Master Ji Zhu.

If the Foundation Establishment Master was too small-minded, they might be in danger of life or death.
