I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

"It was also more than half a year ago?"

Tong Peipei was surprised when she heard this. The information she heard was not like this, but just when she was about to argue, she met Wei Tu's cold eyes.

The eyes were not very harsh, but they frightened her heart and made her neck shrink subconsciously.

"Friend Wei, please don't worry..." Tong Peipei swallowed the words in her throat and spoke more tactfully.

Only then did she remember that Wei Tu was not a "local household" like them in the shanty town, but a casual cultivator who settled in the shanty town later.

Rogue cultivators can act much more ruthlessly than "local households" like them who have lived in peace for many years.

Are you scared?

Seeing this, Wei Tu was speechless for a while.

When he saw Tong Peipei banging on the door and asking questions, he thought he was a difficult person to get along with and came to mess with him.

Unexpectedly, his appearance is completely opposite to his heart, he is timid.

"How do fellow Taoist Tong plan to deal with this matter? Maybe it was a coincidence that you and I sold the Jingxin Talisman and the Water Heart Talisman at the same time."

Wei Tu calmed down his aura, relaxed his words a bit, and assumed a negotiable posture.

It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies.

He and Tong Peipei are both members of the "Neiji". It's not a good thing if the trouble is too ugly.

It is not a problem to offend a fellow Talisman master just because of the sales problem of "Quiet Mind Talisman".

Just discuss it and redefine the scope of your respective interests.

"I was in a hurry. I didn't inquire carefully and came here in a hurry." Tong Peipei sat on the stool with her head lowered.

She was very angry now and wanted to find the "Mao Talisman Master" who told her the news and torture her. He actually caused such a big embarrassment to her.

She didn't think Wei Tu's words were a lie to her - whether these things were true or false would be clear after careful investigation in the future.

When Wei Tu heard Tong Peipei's words, he took another look at her expression and immediately took control of her mental state.

——He guessed that Tong Peipei knew that she was in the wrong, so her tone and words when she spoke were much lower than at first.

"How do you think fellow Taoist Tong should compensate Wei?" Wei Tu's tone became a little harder.

He has been involved in the officialdom for more than twenty years. Although he has not been involved in officialdom because of his pursuit of immortality, he has been exposed to it and has a clear understanding of the ways of officials and subordinates.

Tong Peipei knew that he was in the wrong, and this was a good time for him to "take advantage of the situation."

He didn't have such bad intentions as others, but Tong Peipei didn't investigate and ran to the door to question him. She was not very happy about who it was.

"Compensation?" Tong Peipei suddenly raised her head like a ignited explosive barrel and looked at Wei Tu blankly.

There seemed to be four words written on her face: How dare you.

However.

Her temper had just been ignited, but was extinguished by Wei Tu's cold gaze. Her head hung lifelessly on her snow-white neck like a wilted eggplant.

"I heard that fellow Taoist Tong has an ancestral talisman master inheritance?"

Wei Tu picked up the pot, poured a cup of tea for himself and Tong Peipei, and then said this.

"The inheritance of the Talisman Master?" Tong Peipei snorted when he heard the words and said dissatisfied: "Friend Wei, I can compensate you, but your appetite is too big. The inheritance of the Talisman Master does not have five or six hundred spirit stones, how can I give in lightly? .”

"I only offended you, and I don't deserve such a big apology."

she added.

She was in the wrong and not an idiot. How could she really be led by Wei Tu?

"What Wei wants is not Taoist Tong's Talisman Master inheritance, but the means of making monster skins from Tong Taoist Tong's Talisman Master inheritance."

Wei Tu said frankly.

Ever since Fu Zhizhou became a knife catcher, he would bring him a piece of monster skin every time he came back.

Over the past two years, he has nearly one square meter of monster skins in his house.

Therefore, he urgently needed a piece of tanned demon animal skin to practice the art of turning it into talisman paper.

——Monster skin cannot be preserved for a long time. As time goes by, the aura inside it weakens, and the quality will be greatly reduced.

When participating in the internal episode, Wei Tu saw Tong Peipei buying monster skins.

Talisman masters buy monster skins and have no other use except to make them into talisman paper.

Hearing this, Tong Peipei immediately became shaken.

Shaoqing, she nodded slowly and agreed to Wei Tu's request.

The skills of tanning monster animal skins and making talisman paper are valuable among Talisman Masters, although they are far from comparable to the complete inheritance of Talisman Masters.

However, the so-called preciousness also varies from person to person.

Wei Tu was also a Talisman Master like her, and his talent was equal to hers - it was appropriate to use this as an apology.

A quarter of an hour later.

Tong Peipei picked up the pen and wrote down the method of making talisman paper inherited from her talisman master on the paper and gave it to Wei Tu.

"I'm leaving." Tong Peipei stood up, snorted, and prepared to pick up her skirt and leave.

"Fellow Taoist Tong, there is one more matter that has not been dealt with."

Wei Tu stopped Tong Peipei.

"What's the matter?" Tong Peipei was surprised. There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes and she took half a step back.

Wei Tu shook his head, pointed to the "quiet mind talisman" that Tong Peipei had just photographed on the table, and said, "You and I haven't finished dividing the interests of the quiet heart talisman and the water heart talisman yet."

Judging from Tong Peipei's reaction and everything he said before, he guessed that there should be a "mastermind" deliberately provoking hostility between him and Tong Peipei.

At this moment, he invited Tong Peipei to discuss... about the division of interests between the "Quiet Heart Talisman" and the "Water Heart Talisman" in the shanty town, also to find out from Tong Peipei who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

"Okay." Tong Peipei nodded, sat down again, and talked about the division of interests between these two types of talismans.

"The Jingxin Talisman and the Water Heart Talisman have similar effects and belong to the same basic talisman."

"The difference between the two is that the Meditation Talisman is a talisman without attributes, while the Water Heart Talisman is a water attribute talisman... In terms of effectiveness and sales, the Meditation Talisman should be in the lead, stronger than the Water Heart Talisman..."

Tong Peipei analyzed.

Water-attributed talismans such as the Water Heart Talisman can also be used by monks with other attributes, but compared to non-attributed talismans such as the Calming Mind Talisman, the effect will inevitably be somewhat compromised.

In addition, precisely because the Meditation Talisman was a talisman without attributes and was issued at the same time as her... she knew she was in the wrong.

According to the internal set agreement.

Wei Tu's main business in the future is talismans with earth and wood attributes, while she is focusing on talismans with water and metal attributes.

"My intention is that Fellow Daoist Wei will increase the price of the Meditation Talisman, and I will maintain the original price. From now on, 20% of the profit from the sales of the Water Heart Talisman will be shared with Fellow Daoist Wei."

Tong Peipei hesitated for a moment and came up with a plan.

"This plan is too troublesome." Wei Tu shook his head, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "If I raise the price of the Meditation Talisman, sales will inevitably be poor in the future. Fellow Taoist Tong... Even if you give me 20% of the profit of the Water Heart Talisman, it will be difficult to make up for it."

In fact.

The plan proposed by Tong Peipei is good.

After the price increase for the Meditation Talisman, sales were poor, and he was at risk of losing his spiritual stones.

But the good thing is that by not drawing the Calm Mind Talisman, not only can he get 20% of the profit from the Water Heart Talisman for free, but he can also save time and spend more time practicing.

This latter point is acceptable even if some spiritual stones are lost.

But the crux of the problem is that Wei Tu does not trust Tong Peipei to give him 20% of the profit from the Water Heart Talisman as promised.

The two of them haven't reached that trust base yet.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist Wei?"

Tong Peipei was not angry when she heard Wei Tu's rejection. After all, bargaining is inevitable when discussing a plan.

"Wei can give up the benefits of the Meditation Talisman and stop selling Meditation Talismans in Danqiu Mountain in the future, but the price is..."

Wei Tu paused.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, it's okay to just say it." Tong Peipei raised her eyebrows slightly and subconsciously tightened her legs.

——Wei Tu was very close to that bitch Hu Yao, and it seemed like she was not a good person at first glance.

Wei Tu didn't see Tong Peipei's thoughts. He pondered and asked tentatively: "Since Taoist Tong has a talisman master's heritage with him, what about the inheritance of earth and wood talismans..."

At this point, Wei Tu saw that Tong Peipei seemed to be refusing. He changed his words and said, "As long as fellow Taoist Tong is willing to give Wei the method of making three first-level talismans, then the benefits of this meditation talisman will be given to fellow Taoist Tong." , it doesn’t matter.”

Although the benefits of the Meditation Talisman are not small, as long as he masters a higher method of making talismans, then this benefit can be discarded.

He is not Tong Peipei, his talent in Talisman is limited to this, and he can only specialize in a few basic Talismans.

Hear this.

Tong Peipei's eyebrows stretched, and she laughed, "Since Fellow Taoist Wei said this, how can I disagree? I will send three earth and wood talisman making methods to Fellow Daoist Wei's home tomorrow."

She has no earthly roots.

Immortal talismans with these two attributes cannot be drawn.

Giving it up to Wei Tu was not a decision that was difficult for her to make.

As for whether it will lead to the leakage of the Tong family's ancestral Talisman Master inheritance.

She hadn't thought about it that much.

After all... Zaibei Tian doesn't feel any pain.

"By the way, let me ask fellow Taoist Tong one more thing. Who gave these meditation charms on the table to fellow Taoist Tong..."

Wei Tu's mind moved and he asked at the right time.

"It's Mao..." Tong Peipei had been shocked by the good news at this time. She was overjoyed and relaxed, so she replied Wei Tu's words without any precaution.

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly felt that she had made a mistake and quickly stopped speaking, refusing to say any more.

"Is it Master Mao?"

Wei Tu's eyes turned cold and he asked.

There were many monks named Mao in the shanty towns, but after thinking about it, the only one who could be hostile to him was another Talisman Master in the inner concentration - Master Mao.

"I have resigned."

Tong Peipei stood up, bowed and hurriedly left the shack.

This time, although Master Mao was suspected of deceiving her, she had to wait until she asked in person before deciding how to deal with it.

Instead of leaking the matter before that.

"Master Mao."

In the shack, Wei Tu took a pen and paper and wrote Master Mao's name on the paper.

Borrow pen and paper to record details.

This is a habit he developed after learning from Fu Zhizhou in his early years.

…

The next day.

Tong Peipei visited as scheduled.

The methods for making three first-level talismans were given to Wei Tu.

These three first-level talismans.

They are:

The “thorn cage talisman” with wood attribute.

The "demon wood talisman" with wood attribute.

The "Rock Shield Talisman" with earth attributes.

Seeing these three kinds of talismans, Wei Tu frowned and immediately scolded Tong Peipei, a woman who was unkind and stingy.

In the talisman.

Auxiliary talismans have the highest sales volume and are the easiest to draw. They are the best choice for talisman masters to practice their brushwork and improve their talismans.

Although the attack and defense talismans are much more expensive than the auxiliary talismans of the same level, they are also the most difficult to draw.

Very few talisman masters choose to practice offensive talismans and defensive talismans when improving their attainments in talisman.

If the three first-level talismans given by Tong Peipei were mixed with an auxiliary talisman, Wei Tu would not say anything.

But there are two attack talismans and one defensive talisman... Tong Peipei has made it clear that he doesn't want to see Wei Tu...

It can be considered as a trick on him once.

"I'll remember this little grudge."

Wei Tu thought.

The three first-level talisman making methods were obtained by him in exchange for the tranquility talisman market.

In terms of value in the Jingxin Talisman market, it is much more valuable than these three talisman making methods.

Otherwise, Tong Peipei would not easily agree to the deal.

He stood up, took out the blank book with the name "Mao Talisman" written on it, added Tong Peipei's name, and then hung it on the bedside to alert him at all times.

Half a month later.

Wei Tu prepared the demon beast skin, cut it one by one, and obtained thirty-four first-level talisman papers.

Next.

Wei Tu began to practice drawing the first-level talisman "Rock Shield Talisman".

More than a month has passed.

He successfully started using the Rock Shield Talisman.

"Rock Shield Talisman (1/100): Practice three times a day and it will take fourteen years to complete."

Drawing the "rock shield talisman" is not as easy as drawing the basic talisman. Often, after drawing the talisman two or three times, I will feel dizzy.

"Only in the middle stage of Qi training can spiritual consciousness be born. By then, it will be much easier to draw the first-level talismans..."

"The cultivation level of a first-level Talisman master is usually above the middle stage of Qi training."

"Cultivation is the right path!"

Wei Tu firmly set his goal, began to slow down his practice of first-order talismans, and put more energy into improving his cultivation.

time flies.

half year later.

With the help of Diyuan Dan, Wei Tu's progress in condensing "thick soil" increased from 32% to 57%.

"Another breakthrough?"

On this day, Wei Tu, who was in the shack, felt the fluctuation of spiritual power when Fu Zhizhou broke through the realm again.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is the fourth Earth Yuan Dan that my fourth brother has swallowed."

"Being a knife hunter is really profitable."

Wei Tu spoke with emotion.

He was a talisman master, and he only bought one and a half Earth Yuan Dan after all the hard-earned spiritual stones.

And Fu Zhizhou became a knife catcher, and in just over three years, he had earned the money of three Diyuan Dan.

The difference in this.

Not too big.

certainly.

This is not counting the exquisite earth thorn talismans that Wei Tu secretly accumulated.

If he sells the exquisite earth thorn talisman in his hand, the amount of spiritual stones he earns will be much higher than that of Fu Zhizhou.

"Don't be envious. My fourth brother is risking his life for his future. If he is not careful, he will die..."

Wei Tu shook his head and then remembered the scene when Fu Zhizhou returned to Danqiu Mountain a year ago.

That day, Fu Zhizhou returned to Danqiu Mountain, his body wrapped in circles of gauze, red and oozing with blood.

If he hadn't used the two high-quality earth tattoo talismans he gave him as trump cards, he might have died after that battle.

"How about changing the plan..."

"Tell away the exquisite earth tattoo talisman in your hand and exchange it for resources..."

Wei Tu was slightly shaken.

His initial plan was to wait until he became a first-level talisman master, and then gradually sell the high-quality earth thorn talismans in his hand in exchange for spiritual stones.

But now, Fu Zhizhou's cultivation progress has surpassed him, and he can't help but feel a little impatient.

"For the sake of everlasting immortality..."

"You must not be anxious at this moment!"

Soon, Wei Tu shook his head again and rejected the idea in his mind.

A high-quality ground talisman, the value of which is equivalent to a first-level talisman.

But compared with ordinary ground thorn talismans, there are too many replaceable talismans of the same level for high-quality ground thorn talismans, and there is basically no market.

Even if he sells, he only sells two or three at most.

Secondly, He Lianxiong and other knife-catchers also knew that Fu Zhizhou used high-quality tattoos to save his life.

He was a talisman master who lived in a shanty town... and he accidentally drew one or two exquisite talismans, which were still within the understandable range of cultivators.

But more,

It will inevitably arouse suspicion.

In Danqiu Mountain, if he wanted to improve his status and cultivation step by step as a Talisman Master, he couldn't be in a hurry.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

The rise from the bottom, one step at a time, is the least likely to attract the attention of interested people.

When the status is high and the monk has some opportunities, it becomes reasonable - then there will not be much risk if he slightly "oversteps the rules".

"However, releasing a high-quality tattoo talisman every two years should not arouse suspicion..."

Wei Tu thought.

…

Four years later.

Under Wei Tu's step-by-step instructions, the progress of his thick soil body reached "78%". He was only one Diyuan Dan short of being able to condense the thick soil body and break through to the fourth level of Qi training.

"Eight years have passed..."

On this day, Wei Tu counted with his fingers and saw that eight years had passed since he had stayed in Danqiu Mountain, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In the past eight years, he has gone down the mountain three times to visit his family in Yulong Mansion.

During this period, Wei Fei also visited Danqiu Mountain several times and helped him carry letters from home.

Therefore, he was concerned about the conditions of Xinghua, Wei Yan and Wei Xiuwen.

A few years ago.

Wei Yan entered the Qi Sensing Realm with the help of her internal skills.

Wei Xiuwen was not lagging behind either. He was only one year behind Wei Yan. He practiced Zhuang Kung Fu outside and entered the Qi Sensing state.

As for Xinghua...

Under the nourishment of Wei Tu's spiritual energy, he is in good health and has great potential to live to be eighty or ninety years old.

"In two months, after I draw another "Rock Shield Talisman" and have many life-saving trump cards, I will leave Danqiu Mountain and go to the mortal world..."

Wei Tu thought.

He has practiced the "Rock Shield Talisman" a lot in the past four years. Therefore, in the first half of the year, he accidentally drew a successful "Rock Shield Talisman".

He has been promoted to the first level Talisman Master.

but.

regarding this matter.

Wei Tu did not make any announcement.

He planned to wait until he entered the fourth level of Qi training before slowly releasing the news.

Five days later.

Fu Zhizhou returns from hunting monsters.

Wei Tu asked Fu Zhizhou if he would go home with him to visit his relatives.

In the past eight years, Fu Zhizhou only followed him back to ordinary life.

And that time was five years ago.

"not going back."

Fu Zhizhou shook his head.

He said: "I don't have extra spiritual stones to support my heirs. In order to avoid becoming an enemy, it's better to disappear."

At this point, Fu Zhizhou also gave Wei Tu some advice, "Third brother, all the heirs have their own paths to follow. You just supported them to the innate realm. What's next?"

"Do we still need to help along the way?"

Although he earned a lot of spiritual stones as a sword catcher, these were only enough for his daily practice, and he had no energy left to train another heir and embark on the path to immortality.

After finishing his words smoothly, Fu Zhizhou suddenly felt that he had made a mistake. He stopped talking and looked at Wei Tu, waiting for Wei Tu's reply.

——He knew that Wei Tu was the most loyal person among the four brothers.

Especially to your loved ones.

He thought to himself that if he were as wealthy and prosperous as Wei Tu, it would be difficult for him to marry a maid whom he had known since childhood as his first wife.

However.

What surprised Fu Zhizhou.

Wei Tu did not refute his words, but nodded and agreed with the words.

"What the fourth brother said is reasonable. The heirs all have their own paths to go, and we can't help you forever..."

Wei Tu smiled slightly and replied.

There is a time when manpower is exhausted.

Fu Zhizhou had no spare efforts to help his children reach the Xiantian realm.

So I gave up my children.

He had the same idea as Fu Zhizhou, and he would not always help his son.

only.

The difference is.

He has far greater financial resources than Fu Zhizhou - he can support his two children, Wei Yan and Wei Xiuwen, to the innate realm without affecting his own cultivation.

certainly.

After reaching the innate realm.

He no longer has the ability to continue to help his two children ascend to immortality. Everything depends on Wei Yan and Wei Xiuwen themselves.

Help, he will only help this time.

…

…

PS: Let me tell you, I will not write that after the protagonist ascends the path of immortality, he will have a profound enlightenment, immediately cut off the worldly relations, and pursue the path of immortality on his own. This also goes against the character of the protagonist at the beginning.

The protagonist's character values ​​​​love and justice, but he acts in a measured manner. Therefore, when the protagonist takes his children to cultivate, he will only help them to reach the peak of innateness. The protagonist will not care about what happens after that, let alone show up. After helping his son, he will also help his grandson.
