I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

The words fell.

Wei Tu noticed that Kou Hongying's eyebrows frowned slightly inadvertently. Although the change in his expression was fleeting, he could also read Kou Hongying's "unhappiness" from it.

One thousand spirit stones, if he and Kou Hongying split them equally, each would have five hundred spirit stones.

This amount is neither too big nor too small for their foundation-building masters.

but--

The key point of the problem is: Spiritual stones are easy to borrow, but it depends on whether the person you are borrowing from is worth it.

Today, if the person borrowing it was not Wei Fei but him and Fu Zhizhou, he thought Kou Hongying would not begrudge the five hundred spirit stones.

Because the two of them have been working hard for Kou Hongying to build the foundation for twenty years.

The five years that Kou Hongying spent in seclusion for him while he was building the foundation alone were worth five hundred spirit stones.

However.

Wei Fei is different.

At the charity gathering forty years ago, when Kou Hongying asked the three brothers to help with a task, Wei Fei... was the only one who refused.

Normally, Kou Hongying would not show any rejection towards Wei Fei, and would take care of him whenever he could. But when it came to a critical period... for this kind of friendship, he would stand by and be unwilling to contribute.

Wei Fei did the first year of junior high school in the early stage, so don’t blame Kou Hongying for doing the fifteenth year in the later stage.

in short.

One sentence.

It's not that five hundred spirit stones are too many, but Wei Fei's affection for Kou Hongying is not worth the five hundred spirit stones.

In addition, there is one more thing.

That is, Wei Fei is alone. Without the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of his Foundation Establishment failure and death is extremely high. Once his Foundation Establishment dies, the spiritual stone Kou Hongying borrowed will be wasted.

Give away five hundred spiritual stones for free...

How could Kou Hongying be so willing?

Including satellite images.

Although Wei Tu did not lack the five hundred spirit stones, he was still not comfortable with borrowing five hundred spirit stones from Wei Fei.

This is not because he is unkind and stingy with money.

But Wei Fei has been on the path to immortality for so many years. He has not worked hard in cultivation and only cares about being carefree and happy. At the end of the day, he wants to hug him and Kou Hongying, the Buddha's feet... to pick them up for nothing...

No matter who it is, no one will feel comfortable.

If Wei Fei had collected half of the spiritual stones to buy Ningji Dan, and he and Kou Hongying could collect the other half, that would be feasible, and there would be nothing worth saying.

Things like collecting money.

No matter what, you have to take the lead.

the last point.

At this time, there are still sixteen years until Wei Fei reaches the "double-level age".

Wei Fei has not yet reached the end of his rope.

…

In the private room of Tiansheng Building.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and you could hear the drop of a needle.

Wei Fei sat next to the two great foundation-building masters and felt a little uneasy after seeing this subtle atmosphere.

Kou Hongying glanced at Wei Tu and waited for Wei Tu to speak. She didn't want to break her face until the last moment.

See this.

Wei Tu sighed secretly and broke the silence.

"Second brother, this time you ask me to borrow spiritual stones, please think of something to use as collateral or sell off." Wei Tu carefully considered his words and reminded.

If Wei Fei didn't have any collateral and wanted to borrow a thousand spirit stones from him and Kou Hongying... he would borrow three to five hundred spirit stones, but the relationship from now on would inevitably fade.

——The spiritual stones he accumulated while practicing Qi Realm were all used up long ago after the battle of foundation building.

The only more than 400 spirit stones left on hand now were obtained from selling a batch of talismans at the Huang Family Exchange Meeting in Heshan.

"Yes." Wei Fei reacted immediately after being reminded by Wei Tu. He slapped his head and took off the storage bag from his waist while feeling regretful.

Wow!

Wei Fei poured out the contents of the storage bag and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.

Not much.

There are three magical artifacts, five jade slips, and some other miscellaneous items such as spiritual materials.

In the row of magic weapons, Wei Tu saw the green lotus leaf that the wizard had used before in Qingfeng City.

"How to make an air bag." Wei Tu stretched out his hand to take pictures of these jade slips, looked at them one by one, and finally locked his eyes on the "making method of an air bag" that he had seen before.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Second brother has only sold this airbag manufacturing method to me, Hongying, and the Mei family. It can be sold at another auction..."

"The price should be able to sell for thousands of spirit stones."

"In this way, the second brother doesn't have to worry about buying the spiritual stone of Ningji Dan."

Just now, he only thought about Wei Fei asking him and Kou Hongying to borrow spiritual stones, but he completely forgot about the method of making an air bag on Wei Fei.

As early as when Wei Fei came to him with the method of making this air bag, he estimated its value at thousands of spirit stones.

However, because he had not yet achieved foundation building back then, Wei Fei was not advised to consign the method of making this air bag to avoid any accidents.

But it's different now.

He and Kou Hongying are both Foundation Establishment Masters, and the method of making an air bag worth thousands of spiritual stones is not a valuable treasure to them.

The two of them can definitely do Wei Fei a small favor and consign it to the auction.

"That's what I thought too. It's just that I was stupid, didn't speak carefully at the moment, and was abrupt... Hongying..." Wei Fei glanced at Kou Hongying and explained in a low voice.

He has always been a little afraid of Kou Hongying since his identity changed after Kou Hongying established the foundation.

More than twenty years ago, after attending Kou Hongying's foundation-building celebration, my uneasiness became even stronger...

At the foundation ceremony, the monks in Jingshui Pavilion were all praising Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou for their contributions to Kou Hongying, but he seemed a little out of place there.

Kou Hongying had a look of helplessness on her face. She raised her hand, collected two magical weapons, and left the green lotus leaf, a defensive magical weapon, with Wei Fei. Then she said: "Not long after, there will be the underground auction of Baibao Pavilion." , when the time comes, my nephew will help Uncle Wei consign this airbag manufacturing method, as well as... these two medium-grade magic weapons."

"Underground auction?"

When Wei Tu heard this, he glanced at Kou Hongying in surprise. He did not expect that Kou Hongying had also received an invitation from Baibao Pavilion.

——He thought that for this underground auction, Baibao Pavilion would only invite casual cultivators like him, not disciples of the three major immortal sects.

After all, underground auctions are very private. Inviting powerful disciples will not only leak secrets, but also increase risks.

"My nephew is away from home and has the name of "Jade Rakshasa" as a casual cultivator. He does not use his real name."

Kou Hongying saw Wei Tu's thoughts and secretly sent a message to explain.

Jade Rakshasa?

Wei Tu was shocked when he heard this name.

When attending the Huang Family Trade Fair in Heshan, he learned about the name "Jade Rakshasa" from many monks, and knew that he was a ruthless monster hunter who had recently emerged in the Demon Wolf Mountain Range.

He never thought that this Jade Rakshasa was his niece - Kou Hongying.

"I have recently made a breakthrough in the way of talismans. I have drawn a second-level low-grade talisman. I can sell it to you, Hongying, at a low price."

Wei Tu groaned and replied.

I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

Kou Hongying was fighting life and death like this. If he didn't have any means to save his life, he would die in the Yaolang Mountains sooner or later.

When Fu Zhizhou was a knife hunter, he often sold him low-priced talismans.

Now, this person has become Kou Hongying.

"Okay." Kou Hongying nodded slightly, feeling warm in her heart.

…

There is still more than a year left before Baibao Pavilion's underground auction.

Therefore, Wei Tu did not return to Yunhe Mountain, but rented a cave in Baishihufang City and lived temporarily.

Kou Hongying wanted Wei Tu to stay in her cave temporarily to save spiritual stones, but Wei Tu refused by saying "there are differences between men and women".

During my stay in Baishihufang City.

Wei Tu did not delay his practice either.

Just like when he was at Yunhe Mountain, he combined work and rest. After practicing, he went to draw talismans to improve his talisman skills.

More than a year has passed by.

Wei Tu's success rate in drawing the second-level low-grade talisman "Gravel Talisman" has improved again.

It increased from 10% to 20%.

In other words, every time you draw a talisman five times, you can draw a "gravel talisman".

The day before leaving Baishihufang City.

Siblings Wei Tu and Wei Yan revisited Xinghua’s grave.

After the three people paid their respects, they returned to Wei's house.

Compared with the bustling "Kou's House" and "Fu's House" next door, Wei's House is much deserted.

Although there are still servants in the house, no Wei family members live here for a long time.

Wei Tu saw the depression in Wei Xiuwen's heart, and comforted him: "Xiuwen, it is reasonable for your mother to expect an heir, but since you have embarked on the path to immortality, you should try your best to pursue it before it is over. Immortal way..."

"People should not only live for others, but also for themselves."

In Wei Tu's view.

Wei Xiuwen's "filial piety" is very likely to become his "inner demon" when he breaks through the foundation building.

This is even more terrifying than Kou Hongying's "lost father" before he founded the foundation.

After all, Kou Liang expected Kou Hongying to help him embark on the immortal road and see the scenery of the immortal road.

When Kou Hongying practices, there is no psychological pressure, only the urgency of revenge.

After the death of the old demon Xue, the knot in his heart also disappeared.

But Wei Xiuwen is different.

Before Xinghua was born, she had always hoped that Wei Xiuwen would give birth to a son and a half daughters and continue the Wei family's legacy.

Before Wei Xiuwen gave birth to an heir, this knot in his heart would become more and more serious until it evolved into the "inner demon" when he broke through the foundation building.

"I know, kid."

Wei Xiuwen looked at Jing's sadness and forced a smile.

See this.

Wei Tu shook his head and stopped trying to persuade him.

Heart ailments also require heart medicine, not just a word of advice can help.

Wei Xiuwen still has at least 20 to 30 years before he can build the foundation, which is enough time for him to get out of his knot.

…

A few days later.

Wei Tu and Kou Hongying set out together to go to the underground auction in Baibao Pavilion.

This time, the two of them set off, both wearing disguises.

Kou Hongying disguised herself as the Jade Rakshasa she had created in the Yaolang Mountains.

A cool female cultivator in a red dress.

After Wei Tu thought for a moment, he disguised himself as a dark-skinned man with strong features.

In order not to attract attention and for safety, the two flew in tandem, with Kou Hongying in front and Wei Tu in the rear.

For this underground auction, Baibao Pavilion did not set it up in Danqiu Mountain or other cities in Zheng State, but in the "Canglong Mountain" in a common place.

Ten days later.

Kou Hongying and Wei Tu rushed to the town near Canglong Mountain.

Kou Hongying went in first.

After Wei Tu waited for several days, he saw other monks entering Canglong Mountain. He then set off, paid the invitation to the monk guarding the mountain, and entered the auction house of Canglong Mountain.

As the magic formation at the mountain pass opened, a broad road appeared in front of Wei Tu. At the end of the broad road was an underground hollow with a radius of several hundred feet.

This underground space is supported by more than ten white jade pillars. The ground is covered with precious carpets studded with gems, and the dome is also embedded with dozens of fist-sized luminous pearls.
