I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

"What a pity, fourth brother."

Wei Tu shook his head when he heard Fu Zhizhou's heartfelt words.

In the world of immortality cultivation, there are many stories of people with low qualifications but strong Taoist hearts reaching the top.

However, compared to the huge group of monks, only a few people stand out based on their character.

Or.

A monk who has reached the pinnacle must have character, opportunity, and strength. These three are indispensable.

Character can only determine the lower limit, but never the upper limit.

There are many monks who can compete with Fu Zhizhou in Qi-training realm and have a strong Taoist heart.

But most of these people have difficulty building a foundation and can only regret it for the rest of their lives.

Not to mention, a hundred years of foundation building.

This time, the reason why Fu Zhizhou was able to build a foundation for a hundred years has something to do with the fact that he achieved these three elements at the same time during the Qi training state.

Although Fu Zhizhou did not directly obtain "immortal fate" when practicing Qi, he indirectly obtained "immortal fate" through him and Kou Hongying, which made up for the shortcomings of "chance", and thus he was able to successfully build the foundation.

Generally, casual cultivators who can cultivate to the ninth level of qi training before the age of 120 are considered to have certain abilities.

"Ningji Dan".

A different method of foundation building.

This is a great opportunity that many casual cultivators have no hope of getting.

However--

After reaching the foundation building period.

It's different.

It will be difficult for Fu Zhizhou to replicate his success in Qi training - because in terms of opportunity, it is obviously difficult for him and Kou Hongying to provide him with such great help.

The opportunity to form an elixir is not like the opportunity to build a foundation. Basically, there will no longer be such a thing as "one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

Again.

He and Kou Hongying were only hopeful about the formation of pills. They were not as "certain" about the foundation-building realm as they were in the Qi-training realm.

…

After talking about Fu Zhizhou’s whereabouts.

Wei Tu mentioned that he planned to go to the Demonic Wolf Mountains to take advantage of the "ferromagnetic spirit wood".

"Over the years, I have been cultivating safely in Danqiu Mountain and Yunhe Mountain, and I have no experience entering the Demonic Wolf Mountain Range..."

"So I would like to ask Hongying and Fourth Brother to help me this time."

Wei Tu said seriously.

The spiritual lands with ferromagnetic spiritual trees are all deep in the Demonic Wolf Mountains, and there, he may encounter second-level demonic beasts.

The strength of second-level monsters, except for some with special bloodlines, is mostly not as good as that of monks of the same level.

However, in a life-and-death struggle, the beastly nature of the monster will smooth out this gap, which in turn will seriously injure or even kill human monks of the same level.

After all, what the monks pursue is to be harmless and win at the minimum cost, while the monsters are fighting to the death in order to survive.

This request for Wei Tu.

Kou Hongying and Fu Zhizhou agreed without much hesitation.

Over the years, Wei Tu has been silently funding and helping the two of them, without ever making any demands.

As long as they are grateful, they will not refuse Wei Tu's request, which is not too harsh.

"Enter the Monster Wolf Mountain Range with Uncle Wei. If you and I cooperate, my nephew can also gain more." Kou Hongying smiled and said this while expressing her stance.

Although she has never seen Wei Tu fight, she clearly knows how terrifying the combat potential of a second-level Talisman Master is.

In addition, Wei Tu, like her, is also a foundation-building monk. There will be no situation that will hinder her in the Demonic Wolf Mountains.

She is a helper, not a bodyguard who will protect Wei Tu throughout the entire process.

Compared to Kou Hongying.

Fu Zhizhou didn't have much to say. He nodded silently and accepted the matter.

Over the past ten years, Kou Hongying's debt to Wei Tu has been repaid long ago.

But he didn't pay it back at all.

Therefore, even if there is a risk of death when entering the Demon Wolf Mountain Range, he can only go through fire and water without hesitation.

certainly.

Fu Zhizhou believed that Wei Tu would never treat him like this and treat his life as child's play.

…

The next day.

The cultivators of the "Shu Yun League" who learned of Kou Hongying's arrival came to the Yunque Street courtyard again and invited Fu Zhizhou to join the "Shu Yun League".

"I have made up my mind." Fu Zhizhou shook his head, interrupted He Lianxiong's persuasion, and said frankly that he was ready to join the Qiyue Zhao family.

"Qiyue Zhao family?"

He Lianxiong frowned and advised: "Brother Fu, with all due respect, the Qiyue Zhao family is in such a dangerous place...Joining there is undoubtedly a waste of one's life..."

He glanced around and saw that Wei Tu and Kou Hongying were not there, so he boldly said: "It's true that Master Wei Fu and Brother Fu are friends, but you can't sell Brother Fu... Heshan Huang Family and Qi Yue If you are on good terms with the Zhao family and he asks you to go to the Zhao family in Qiyue, maybe he will still make a profit."

"As the saying goes, you can't kiss even if you are far away."

"But brother, this is also for your own good."

"Listen to Big Brother's advice and stay away from Talisman Guard. He is not on the same path as us..."

"He is a second-level talisman master and is appreciated by the Jindan family. As for us, we have no talents. If we don't stick together for warmth, sooner or later we will be eaten clean by others."

While He Lianxiong was persuading, he paid attention to Fu Zhizhou's expression.

After seeing Fu Zhizhou's expression remained unmoved, he stood up, sighed three times, rolled up his sleeves and left.

When he reached the door, He Lianxiong stopped and said, "Brother Fu, I've said enough about being the eldest brother. Don't be betrayed. You have to help count the money."

Finished.

He Lianxiong turned around and left.

However, He Lianxiong didn't walk very fast, as if he was waiting for Fu Zhizhou to change his mind.

"It seems that Fu Zhizhou has really decided to join the Qiyue Zhao family..." Returning to his room, He Lianxiong glanced at the direction of Fu Zhizhou's room with a faint look.

…

That night.

Fu Zhizhou, Wei Tu, and Kou Hongying walked out of Danqiu Mountain overnight and headed for Yaolang Mountain.

On the way.

Fu Zhizhou mentioned to Wei Tu that He Lianxiong was "abnormal" when he persuaded him.

"He Lianxiong separated you and my brothers for the sake of Shu Yunmeng. There must be a reason..."

"Either there are heavy profits or heavy penalties that force him to do this."

Wei Tu makes a judgment.

He also had a certain friendship with He Lianxiong and knew He Lianxiong's character - without enough profit, He Lianxiong would not have been able to do this for the "Shu Yun League".

As an organization, offend three fellow foundation builders?

It's impossible to think about it.

So, while the three of them were on their way, they were thinking about He Lianxiong's "motive."

"The person in power in the Shu Yun League is Master Shu Dan, and Master Shu once had a grudge against the Qiyue Zhao family because of Geng Wen's death..."

"At the last underground auction, Master Shu Dan made an unexpected statement and revealed the identity of Old Monster Jia, which caused all the monks at the auction to use rat weapons..."

The next day, the attentive Kou Hongying deduced from the known clues the real reason why the "Shu Yun League" prevented Fu Zhizhou from joining the Qiyue Zhao family.

"Hongying, you mean...Shu Yunmeng secretly has contact with the Chisong Jia family?"

Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou understood the meaning of Kou Hongying's words.

"Shu Yun League is just an alliance of casual cultivators. Although its strength is not weak, there is no True Lord Jindan in its organization..."

"Master Shu has reached the late stage of foundation building. His next step is to break through the golden elixir realm, and... the Chisong Jia family can provide him with third-level spiritual veins and experience in elixir formation..."

Kou Hongying analyzed.

"So that's it." When Wei Tu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. The small incident of him killing Geng Wen had unintentionally affected part of the direction of Zheng Guo's immortal world.

If Geng Wen is not dead and his killing of Zhao Qingluo is not revealed——

Maybe Master Shu Dan will continue to maintain his neutral camp, or join other Jin Dan families instead of joining forces with the Chisong Jia family to deal with the Qiyue Zhao family.

"He Lianxiong doesn't hesitate to offend you and my brother, but also wants to create a estrangement... It seems that he also secretly joined Chisong Jia's family..."

Fu Zhizhou's eyes turned cold.

Only this reason can explain why He Lianxiong was not very willing to persuade him to join the "Shu Yun League" at the beginning.

But after he said he wanted to join the Qiyue Zhao family, He Lianxiong went out of his way and did not hesitate to alienate him and Wei Tu, but also tried to persuade him to join the "Shu Yun Alliance".

because.

If he joins the Qiyue Zhao family.

If the Chisong Jia family knew about this, how would they spare He Lianxiong who was doing things poorly?

"From now on, you and I must be careful about this Shu Yun Alliance."

As the "big brother" of the charity society, Wei Tu concluded his speech and reminded the two of them.

"Yes, third brother."

"Yes, Uncle Wei."

Fu Zhizhou and Kou Hongying nodded in response.

…

The Monster Wolf Mountain Range spans the borders of several countries and is a natural and dangerous place that isolates the five demonic sects and the Seven Kingdoms Alliance of Righteous Paths.

Within it, not only are there secret places full of dangers, but the core area is also occupied by "celestial demons" that are feared by both the demonic and righteous forces.

(Monster beasts are similar to the human race, and are also divided into levels of cultivation. They are divided into yellow level, Xuan level, earth level, and heaven level according to the human race's Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, and Yuan Ying.)

The Heavenly Demon is the Nascent Soul Dao Lord who is equivalent to a human monk. Its strength is immeasurable and it is the highest combat power in the "Great Cang Cultivation World".

A few days later.

After a long journey, Wei Tu and the others finally arrived at the outskirts of the Demonic Wolf Mountains.

"The Demon Wolf Mountain Range is divided into three areas, namely the outer area, the inner area, and the core area..."

"Generally speaking, there will only be first-order monsters in the outer area, and occasionally one or two second-order monsters will appear."

"Inner area..."

Along the way, Fu Zhizhou and Kou Hongying, as Wei Tu's guides, told Wei Tu about the various "taboos" within the Yaolang Mountains.

"These taboos are all gained from the experience of monks who have sacrificed their lives. You must not be careless."

Fu Zhizhou warned.

Wei Tu nodded, keeping these experiences and lessons in mind one by one.

"Not far away is Yuquan Shanfang City. Yuquan Shanfang City was jointly founded by the three major immortal sects. There is Jindan Zhenjun sitting in it. If you encounter an invincible monster, you can escape here. Disaster..."

In mid-air, after Wei Tu heard Kou Hongying's words, he looked into the distance and immediately saw a group of human buildings standing among the continuous black mountains.

"There is a beast tide in the Demonic Wolf Mountains every five hundred years. There are still more than twenty years until this beast tide..."

After seeing Yuquan Shanfang City, Wei Tu suddenly remembered that before building the foundation, "He Peng", a monk from the He family in Shengjiang, had mentioned to him about the beast tide in the Demonic Wolf Mountains.

He guessed that the three major immortal sects established Yuquan Shanfang City here, in addition to acquiring demonic beast materials and making profits, it should also be to resist the beast tide that occurs once in five hundred years in the Demonic Wolf Mountains.

…

Passed by Yuquan Shanfang City.

The three of them, Wei Tu, entered directly into the inner area of ​​the Yaolang Mountains and headed for the "Lihuo Lake".

The "ferromagnetic spirit wood" clue provided by Master Yu to Wei Tu is near the "Lihuo Lake".

One hundred miles.

Two hundred miles.

Three hundred miles...

Under the leadership of Kou Hongying, Wei Tu and the others slowly penetrated into the inner area.

"There is the aura of a group of monsters. There are two second-level monsters among them. Take shelter for the time being."

At this time, Wei Tu's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly called Kou Hongying, who was walking in front, to stop Kou Hongying and avoid the monster.

——In terms of cultivation, Kou Hongying was far ahead of him and Fu Zhizhou, so in their three-person team, Kou Hongying explored the way, and he and Fu Zhizhou took the rear.

"What? Two second-level monsters, and a group of monsters?"

Kou Hongying was stunned. Within the range of her consciousness, she found no sign of any group of monsters.

Wei Tu was anxious and did not bother to explain to Kou Hongying. He took a step forward, took Kou Hongying's hand directly, and then urged the "Escape Talisman" in his hand to escape underground.

After a few breaths.

A black monster wolf as big as an ox pounced on the ground where Kou Hongying was. Its nose twitched and it sniffed the ground for a while. It was surprised to see that there was no trace of the human monk it had just captured.

Ouch! Ouch!

The black demon wolf raised its neck and shouted, and behind it appeared more than twenty demon wolves that looked similar to it but were one size smaller.

Under the command of the black demon wolf, these small demon wolves began to look for traces of Wei Tu and others, and the wolves howled continuously.

"It's so dangerous." Kou Hongying, who was hiding more than ten feet underground, used her spiritual consciousness to see what was happening on the ground. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

——The monster's physical body is powerful, but its spiritual consciousness is much weaker than that of human monks of the same level.

Therefore, she hid here and used her spiritual consciousness to spy on the wolves without worrying about the wolves noticing her traces.

"If it hadn't been for Uncle Wei this time, I wouldn't have died, but I would have been in danger..."

Kou Hongying pulled back Wei Tu's hand that had just been holding hers, and glanced at Wei Tu secretly, with a hint of happiness in her eyes.

Since the death of his father Kou Liang.

Wei Tu is the only person who can bring her a sense of security.

"Uncle Wei, how did you detect the arrival of the herd of beasts just now?"

Kou Hongying was confused.

The skills she practiced were better than Wei Tu's "Little Spring and Autumn Gong".

Secondly, her cultivation level is also higher than that of Wei Tu.

It makes no sense, Wei Tu discovered the traces of the wolves before she did.

"Smell."

Wei Tu pointed to his nose and explained: "I have practiced the "Tian Xiang Luo Gong", and the "Xiang Luo Nose" I have developed can improve my sense of smell and can capture smells within five miles."

Monster beasts, unlike human monks, generally do not cover their own aura, so when he arrives at the Demon Wolf Mountains, he can easily smell the scent of nearby monster beasts.

Like a fish in water.

"Xiang Luo Bi?" Kou Hongying was surprised. She heard Wei Tu mention Xiang Luo Bi last time when Wei Tu explained the matter of "Green Leaf Snake".

Afterwards, she also tried to practice "Tianxiang Luo Gong", but she couldn't achieve the same miraculous effect as Wei Tu's ability to capture the breath of monsters.

"Could it be that Uncle Wei has a special physique?" Kou Hongying secretly guessed.

Various physiques emerge in endlessly in the world of immortal cultivation. In addition to the treasure body and Tao body that can enhance the speed of cultivation, there are also physiques that can enhance the "smell".

Although this kind of physique is far inferior to the treasure body and the Tao body, it can play a significant role in special occasions.

"Uncle Wei, the second-level demon wolf and the wolves have left now."

Half a day later, Kou Hongying scanned the ground with her consciousness. When she saw the wolves leaving, she reminded Wei Tu.

"The other second-level monster is still there."

Wei Tu looked wary.

"The other one?" Hearing Wei Tu's words, Kou Hongying raised his eyebrows and followed Wei Tu's guidance to look northwest.

Soon, with her consciousness, she saw a fiery ape demon hiding on the treetops, secretly looking towards them.

The place where the blazing ape demon was hiding was exactly at the far end of her consciousness. Unless she concentrated on it, it would be difficult to notice it.

"However, the wolves have left, and the only remaining fire ape demon is no match for the three of us. We can kill it."

Wei Tu measures the strength of both the enemy and ourselves and makes judgments.

It is not difficult for the three of them to build a foundation to deal with the lone second-level monster like the Fire Ape Demon.

"Okay, listen to Uncle Wei." Kou Hongying looked at the fiery ape demon with a hint of joy on her brows.

Although she had gained the reputation of "Jade Rakshasa" in the Demonic Wolf Mountains, she had only hunted first-order demonic beasts for so many years.

She would hide from second-level monsters whenever she saw them, and she had never hunted them.

This time, if they hunt and kill this "Fire Ape Demon", the three of them will share it equally, and the profit earned will be enough to meet her ten years of training needs.

…

A quarter of an hour later.

The fiery ape demon that had just been hiding in the ancient tree to spy on Wei Tu and the others was already scarred and glaring at Wei Tu and the others on the ground with murderous intent.

I saw.

The forest floor is covered with sharp thorns and flowing sand pits.

And in the air, a golden eagle chirped and screamed, falling rapidly from the air from time to time, grabbing at the flaming ape demon's death spot.

"Death to humans!" the fire ape demon roared, looking at the black-clothed warrior holding a bright silver spear in front of him with red eyes.

It beat its chest with both hands, spit out a dark brown demon pill, and then used the demon pill's huge power to fight towards Fu Zhizhou.

The demonic beast's inner elixir is the essence of the demonic beast. Like the golden elixir of the golden elixir realm monk, it cannot be used easily.

But if it is sacrificed, it will often have power beyond the same level, enough to change the situation of the battle.

The dark brown demon elixir shines brightly.

Under the power of the demon pill, Fu Zhizhou, who had just gained the upper hand, began to retreat step by step. When the bright silver spear in his hand stabbed the demon pill, it could only weaken the light of the demon pill, and was not fatal to the fire ape demon.

However, just as the Fiery Ape Demon Pu Fan slapped Fu Zhizhou with his big hand, a water curtain silently blocked Fu Zhizhou.

Kou Hongying was suspended in the air, chanting spells, and several water spells condensed around her, each one exuding frightening power.

"Water Prison Technique!"

"Water Archery!"

The spell is cast instantly!

The light blue prison temporarily trapped the Fiery Ape Demon, and then hundreds of water-light arrows arrived and landed on the Fiery Ape Demon's body.

However, because the body of this blazing ape demon is as hard as a magic weapon, these spells only left a few painless scars on its body.

"After I kill this black warrior, I will deal with you little girl."

The fiery ape demon roared angrily, using the power of the demon elixir to break through layers of magical obstacles, and rushed towards Fu Zhizhou's direction again.

But this time.

A cold and awe-inspiring sword light came from the sky and headed towards the center of the Fiery Ape Demon's eyebrows.

"A mere magic weapon..."

There was a trace of disdain in the eyes of the Fiery Ape Demon. It had knocked down more than one such magic sword just now.

but--

next moment.

A bloody hole appeared between its eyebrows.

The wound was bleeding.

Then, the fire ape demon fell to the ground with a "bang", with a look of unwillingness on his face.

That magic sword, if it had been alert in advance, might have been able to dodge it.

Recommended book "Brother Zhuge Liang" This is a story about "Zhuge's mentor for all generations".

In Xuzhou in the first year of Jian'an, Lu Bu secretly attacked Huaiyin with Pi and Yuan Shu. Zhuge the time traveler

Jin was accidentally trapped in Huaiyin City by Yuan Jun and had to help Liu Bei in desperate situation to fight against the enemy.

Since those usurpers have offended us, don't blame me for killing my second brother ten years in advance.

Zhuge Liang pulled them out and took care of them one by one.

What kind of new world will an upgraded version of "Longzhong Dui" and a Zhuge Liang who is more intelligent than historical facts create?

As we all know, the writer's IQ determines the upper limit of the character's IQ. Because Luo Guanzhong's IQ is not as good as Zhuge Liang's, he could not perfectly interpret Zhuge's ingenuity. Instead, he regretted that he was "almost a monster with so much wisdom".

Although I am not as good as Zhuge Liang, let us try to make up for this regret.
