I am a late bloomer in the world of immortality

A robber took the blame. Afterwards, the monks from the Shenjia Sect only conducted a simple search of the ordinary guest rooms and released Dengyun Feizhou.

"Finally gone."

Through the window of the guest room, Wei Tu let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the Shenjia Sect Spirit Boat running away in the distance.

Even if he is confident, with all the life-saving means at his hands, he can escape calmly like Yu Wencheng and the Jindan robbers.

But he didn't want to be wanted by the monks of the Divine Armor Sect until he was in a desperate situation.

——Although there is no real name on the boat ticket, there is a chance that the Shenjia Sect can find out his true identity with the help of the Canglang Chamber of Commerce's registration.

The Shenjia Sect's sphere of influence does not reach Kang State yet, but if he wants to go to Xiao State in the future, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult.

…

A few days later.

Deng Yun Feizhou passed through the "Zhaoming Dead Sea" that separated the Xiao Kingdom and the Kang Kingdom, and was about to arrive at "Liaozhou", the western frontier of the Xiao Kingdom.

Xiao State's Liaozhou is the largest continent among the thirteen states of Xiao State.

It's just because this state is located on the border and is close to the Zhaoming Dead Sea, a magical place with dry weather all year round and few oases. Therefore, in terms of population density, it is not even as dense as several large counties along the coast of Xiao State.

However, the immortal civilization in this state is not bad compared to other continents in the Xiao Kingdom. The Buddhist sect headed by Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is ranked among the top three sects in the Xiao Kingdom in terms of strength.

Of course, in addition to Buddhism, Liaozhou is also rich in body refiners that are rare in the world of immortality because of its difficult survival.

Shenjia Sect is one representative of many body refining sects.

Wei Tu, who was sitting in the guest room, glanced at the geography of the Xiao Kingdom in his hand, and then looked out the window expectantly.

As a native of Zheng, he was in a place where good and evil were at war. He had seen and heard a lot about demonic body refining.

For example, sects such as Tiannv Sect, Huangshan Sect, Stone Demon Sect, etc. all have top body refining heritage.

But for the righteous body refining, especially the Buddhist body refining tradition, I have almost never seen it.

A few days ago, Wang Tianwu from the Shenjia Sect fought with the Liuyu Sect robbers, and the body refining techniques they used really opened Wei Tu's eyes a lot.

With the speed of the flying boat on the clouds——

The endless dark gray Dead Sea is coming to an end, replaced by a vast expanse of desolate desert and oases dotted randomly on the ground, like small islands.

After passing several small oases, Wei Tu noticed that the speed of Dengyun Feizhou had slowed down a bit, and it dropped from high altitude to low altitude.

At the same time, a vast oasis that was ten times larger than the oasis he had seen before, covering an area of ​​about a hundred miles, appeared in front of Wei Tu.

"Fellow Taoists, Xiantao City, the transfer station for this caravan, is about to arrive. Guests who want to leave Feizhou please prepare in advance..."

In the corridor, the deacon's reminder came.

Xiantao City in Liaozhou is considered a prosperous and wealthy place in Liaozhou, but in the entire Xiao Kingdom, it is unknown and not worth mentioning.

However, many monks on the flying boat could not afford full tickets due to lack of money, so they had to get off at this stop.

Wei Tu was also one of the people who got off at this station.

However, it's not that he can't afford a full ticket, but he has something to do in Liaozhou.

Liaozhou is the gathering place of the body-refining sects of Xiao State. This place is not only rich in body-refining elixirs, but also has many secret body-refining elixirs such as the Golden Marrow Pill.

As a body refiner, if he skipped Xiao Kingdom's Liaozhou in his itinerary, it would be equivalent to returning to Baoshan in vain.

…

Flying down from the hatch of the Dengyun flying boat.

Wei Tu immediately felt the exotic customs that were different from those of Kang and Zheng.

Yellow sand hits my face.

Hot and dry air without a trace of moisture.

When breathing, you can clearly feel the fine grains of sand entering the nasal cavity, making it dry and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Wei Tu's cultivation was not weak. After he used the technique for a while, the discomfort on his body immediately disappeared without a trace.

"Compared with the desert in Liaozhou, the Hanhai Desert in Kangguo is too small."

Wei Tu thought secretly.

Like Xiao State, there is also a desert on the grassland of Kang State, called Hanhai Desert.

Taoist Master Zhanlang's secret cave is hidden in the Hanhai Desert.

However, in terms of vastness and scorching heat, the Hanhai Desert is far from comparable to the current Liaozhou Desert.

At least in the Hanhai Desert.

Wei Tu will not experience temporary discomfort.

"Perhaps because of this, monks in Liaozhou are physically stronger than monks in other places."

“A place with water and soil can support people.”

Wei Tu scanned his consciousness and discovered that the physiques of the monks in Xiantao City were generally one level stronger than those of the same level elsewhere.

However, compared to the gorgeous buildings in other areas, Xiantao City is a bit crude. Most of the houses on the street are made of mud and tiles, and only a few are wooden buildings.

"First purchase some body-refining elixirs in Liaozhou. It is best to find a body-refining elixir like the Golden Marrow Pill, and then set off for Haizhou where Shengya Mountain is located..."

Wei Tu made a rough plan in his mind.

Although his main purpose of coming to Xiao Country this time was to meet Zhao Qingluo, he was not a lover, so he had to rush to Haizhou in a hurry and get in front of Zhao Qingluo.

This is not going to a funeral.

Just rush there before the appointed date arrives.

However, just when Wei Tu was about to move, some men in white robes with slightly brown skin suddenly emerged from the edge of the oasis and rushed towards the monks who were flying down from the clouds.

"Senior, do you need a guide? You can come to me to apply for a move-in order in Xiantao City, or to buy Xiantao City's specialties."

A short and thin young man about twenty years old took notice of Wei Tu. He walked towards Wei Tu enthusiastically with a smile on his face.

Niu Cobalt is very accurate in reading people.

Most of the monks who came down from the cloud flying boat were from the "Foundation Building Family" with their families. There were very few who were alone like Wei Tu.

He guessed that most of Wei Tu were merchants who came to Liaozhou, Xiao State, to purchase goods.

——Making money from traders like Wei Tu is not only much easier than serving a group of picky "foundation-building families", but it also makes more money.

"Yi came to Xiantao City this time to purchase some elixirs. Do you have any channels that you are familiar with?"

Hearing the words of the short and skinny boy, Wei Tu suddenly realized that these people turned out to be guides.

After many years of breaking through the golden elixir and becoming a high-level monk, when he went to strange places, he was mostly accompanied by local snakes. He rarely encountered low-level monks like the short and skinny boy who relied on guides for food.

"Purchasing elixir?"

Niu Gu suddenly felt happy and confirmed his previous guess.

"Senior Yi, Xiantao City is the third-ranked oasis in Liaozhou, second only to the Ancient Desert Fairy City of Shenjia Gate and the Dairi Buddha City of Wanfo Temple..."

"There is a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual vein under Xiantao City, which is jointly managed by Jinglian Temple and the three major families of the Fu family, the Ye family, and the Lu family."

"The most famous elixir shops in the city are the Ye family's 'Ye's elixir shop' and the Fu family's 'Wansheng Trading Company'. However, the junior suggested to Senior Yi that it is best to go to Ye's elixir shop. Ye's elixir shop is located throughout Liaozhou. , the goodwill is excellent..."

Along the way, Niu Cobalt talked eloquently.

"Is it possible that Wansheng Trading Company has a poor reputation?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and looked at a store with the name "Wansheng Trading Company" on the east side of another street.

This shop has a dense flow of people and looks like a prosperous business. It is not inferior to Ye's elixir shop at all, as Niu Gu said.

"Senior Yi, this junior didn't say that Wansheng Trading Company has a bad reputation."

Niu Cobalt quickly denied it.

Seeing that Wei Tu didn't believe it, he lowered his voice and explained: "Wansheng Chamber of Commerce is not that bad, but there have been several scandals in previous years' transactions. Most of the people at the door of the store are members of the Fu family... …”

Speaking of which.

Niu Gu hesitated to speak, as if he was afraid of the Fu family's power in Xiantao City and did not dare to say too much.

In a big circle.

Wei Tu followed Niu Cobalt to the Ye's spiritual medicine shop he mentioned.

"Geng Yin Hua, Xiang Chong Ginseng..."

When he saw the medicine shop owner, Wei Tu pondered for a moment and reported the few elixirs he was missing from the Golden Marrow Pill prescription.

The reason why cross-border trade is profitable is that most spiritual objects are in different countries and have different values ​​due to their scarcity.

In other words, in Xiao State, Wei Tu has a good chance of being able to buy several golden marrow elixirs that Kang State lacks at low prices.

Of course, even if it is a high price, as long as it is within a reasonable range, Weitu can accept it.

"Most of the elixirs reported by the guest officers are third-level elixirs..."

The medicine shop owner frowned, "The third-level elixir is semi-controlled in Liaozhou and requires a certain real name... I wonder if the guest officer can accept it?"

Hear this.

Wei Tu was not too surprised.

Monks in the Qi Training and Foundation Establishment realms have very little influence on the big forces. Selling first-order elixirs and second-order elixirs will not have any negative impact on the forces, but when it comes to the Golden Core realm, it is different.

——Golden elixir monks can also pose a certain threat to the Nascent Soul forces.

Therefore, it is normal for major elixir shops to sell strategic resources such as third-level elixirs under real names.

The major forces in Kang State also implemented this strategy. However, in Kang State, because Wei Tu was a famous third-level alchemy master and had connections to help buy on his behalf, he basically didn't have to worry about this.

"The junior sees that the senior is a foreign monk, so all he has to do is show his boat ticket to prove his identity."

The drug store manager reminded.

Different regions have different costumes. There are some subtle differences between Wei Tu's attire and that of the monks in Xiantao City.

This is obvious to a veteran of the business like him at a glance.

As he spoke, the medicine shop owner also changed his title to Wei Tu, from "guest officer" to "senior".

The monks who have the strength to purchase third-level elixirs must undoubtedly be above the golden elixir realm.

"Well……"

"Yi will take another look."

Wei Tu shook his head.

"Senior, please excuse me." The medicine shop owner was not suspicious. After all, he shopped around and there were a lot of spiritual stones involved in this transaction. There is a problem with making rash decisions.

"Go to Wansheng Chamber of Commerce and have a look."

After walking out of Ye's elixir shop, Wei Tu glanced at Niu Gu and gave instructions.

With just a few simple words, he would not trust Niu Cobalt as a guide.

Many guides have collusion with local shops and specialize in killing foreign monks.

The more the guide recommends it, the more you avoid it.

Ye's elixir shop did not kill him this time, and the transaction was quite legal, but this is not enough to prove that Niu Cobalt's words are true...

There is a high probability that the drug store owner saw that he was a good person and did not dare to do business randomly and cause trouble for himself.

Of course, the most important thing is.

Wei Tu did not want to use the name "Yi Yun" on the ticket to buy the elixir under his real name.

After all, there is still a certain connection between Yi Yun and his true identity.

Be careful not to suffer big losses.

"Yes, Senior Yi."

A smile appeared on Niu Gu's face again, but this time it was a little forced.

"Niu Co, it seems that what you said is untrue?"

Wei Tu seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Senior Yi has a keen eye and is a villain..."

Niu Cobalt avoided his eyes and smiled coquettishly.

He dared to deceive people in the foundation building realm.

But facing the True Lord Jindan...give him a hundred courages, and he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense.

The moment he found out that Wei Tu was in the Golden Core realm, he was frightened, fearing that Wei Tu would settle the score later.

"get out!"

Wei Tu's face turned cold, and he threw ten spirit stones to Niu Cobalt and cursed.

"Thank you, Senior Yi, for the reward."

"Thank you, Senior Yi..."

When Niu Gu saw the spirit stone, he suddenly felt happy and ran away in a crawl.

After Niu Gu left, Wei Tu thought for a moment. He waved his sleeves and used a blinding spell to hide himself in the crowd of people on the street.

After the tea time, when Wei Tu emerged from the crowd, his appearance had changed and he became a middle-aged man with yellow skin.

However, in terms of attire, Wei Tu didn't change much. He just removed the label of Yi Yun and still wore the attire of a Kangguo monk.

After a makeover.

Wei Tu was not in a hurry to go to Wansheng Chamber of Commerce. He once again found a guide and expressed that he wanted to apply for a settlement order in Xiantao City.

Xiantao City, as the first stop on the trade route between Kang and Zheng, its settlement order was roughly equivalent to the residence registration plus a guide for foreign monks.

With this settlement order, you can travel freely in Xiao country and come and go as you like.

"I wonder if you, senior, have any identification items such as ferry tickets on you?"

When the guide named Hong Qing heard Wei Tu's intention, his face was full of smiles and he asked tentatively.

At this moment, most of the monks who came down from the clouds and flying boats have already completed their settlement orders.

Wei Tu came too late.

"Of course there is."

Wei Tu turned his palm, took out the ship ticket issued by Canghai Chamber of Commerce, and handed it to Hong Qing.

"Fang Hanliang?" Hong Qing raised his head, carefully checked the authenticity of the ticket, and compared the portrait on the ticket with Wei Tu's appearance.

After seeing that it was correct, he felt relieved.

In the past, there were no travelers like Wei Tu who were delayed.

This ticket was not specially searched for by Wei Tu on the Dengyun Feizhou.

Instead, he rummaged through Liang Yijiang's storage bag and found it.

It is most likely that Liang Yijiang stuffed the items into the storage bag during the robbery.

"Senior, please follow me."

Hong Qing led the way and took Wei Tu to the government office in the central area of ​​Xiantao City.

After a simple identity verification.

After a stick of incense.

Wei Tu paid fifty spirit stones and obtained a settlement order with the name "Fang Hanliang" printed on it from the official office of Xiantao City.

…

After tipping Hong Qing.

Wei Tu then went to Wansheng Trading Company.

"Fellow Taoist, what do you want to buy?"

"Our Wansheng Trading Company brings together large and small elixirs in Liaozhou. It is the elixir store with the most comprehensive categories in Liaozhou."

The medicine shop owner of Wansheng Trading Company came up to greet Wei Tu and said with a smile.

"Huh? Does it look familiar?"

Wei Tu saw the medicine shop owner, and the more he looked at him, the more familiar he looked, as if he had seen him before.

"Sun Chixin!" Wei Tu searched through his memory and finally remembered who this person was.

Sun Chixin is the True Lord of Jindan from Qingzhu Mountain, one of the three major immortal sects in the Zheng Kingdom.

Just because of the Qingzhushan sect, Wei Tu didn't have such a deep memory of Sun Chixin.

The main reason is that Sun Chixin is Wei Tu's mortal enemy in the Foundation Establishment Realm - Sun Yu's grandfather.

Back then, it was Sun Yu who led the Xianmen law enforcement team and ordered Wei Tu from Xiayamei's house to rush to Cicada Cliff, the front line of the battlefield between good and evil.

After killing Sun Yu, Wei Tu had been worried for a while that Sun Chixin would find clues and come to take revenge.

unexpectedly--

More than a hundred years have passed.

Sun Chixin was so depressed that he worked as the shopkeeper of the elixir shop of Wansheng Trading Company, and he no longer had the domineering power of True Lord Jin Dan.

At this moment, Wei Tu could clearly sense that Sun Chixin's realm had dropped from the Golden Core realm to the late stage of foundation building.

"Did Qingzhu Mountain move to the Xiao Kingdom? Or did Sun Chixin escape to the Xiao Kingdom alone?"

Wei Tu had doubts.

As far as he knew, there was no great Immortal Sect named Qingzhu Mountain near Liaozhou.

"Fang came to your firm this time to purchase some high-end body-refining elixirs. I wonder if your bank has these elixirs? How much does it cost?"

Wei Tu asked.

He would not be so stupid that after asking about the elixirs of Golden Marrow Pill at Ye's elixir shop, he would turn around and ask the same questions again at Wansheng Trading Company.

There was no need for him to rush to acquire some of the golden marrow elixirs. It would not be too late to acquire them before leaving Liaozhou.

Moreover, compared to the sensitivity of third-level elixirs, high-level body refining elixirs are less eye-catching.

As a holy land for body refining, many vendors who come to Liaozhou will specially purchase a batch of high-end body refining elixirs in Liaozhou and sell them to foreign immortal clans and sects to serve as family and sect heritage.

"Our Chamber of Commerce does have many high-level body-refining elixir recipes. This is the name of the elixir recipe. Fellow Taoists, please take a look."

Sun Chixin became even more jealous after hearing this. He took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu in front of him.

Danfang is a business without capital, so there is no such thing as a loss. Moreover, if the method is clever, it can become his private gain.

This is more profitable than selling elixirs.

"Six third-level elixir recipes, two fourth-level elixir recipes? There are even fourth-level elixir recipes?"

Wei Tu was slightly surprised, and suddenly had a deep understanding of the foundation of Liaozhou's body refining tradition.

In Kang State, third-level body-refining elixir recipes are rare, let alone fourth-level ones.

"Fang wants all of these."

Wei Tu said in a deep voice.

The elixir recipe is not expensive. If you print one copy, the third-level elixir only costs 500 spiritual stones, and the fourth-level elixir only costs 1,000 spiritual stones.

Added up, there are only six thousand five hundred spirit stones. For him as an alchemist, this is undoubtedly a huge profit.

You may be able to get a lower price elsewhere, but considering the time cost, it’s not worth it.

"Fellow Taoist has a sharp eye and knows that the elixirs from Wansheng Trading Company come from the direction of low price and high quality..."

Sun Chixin was overjoyed, and while rubbing the elixir recipe, he praised Wei Tu.

Nothing he said or did was as domineering as when Wei Tu saw him.

"I wonder what the shopkeeper's name is? I heard from the guide that this place is owned by the Fu family. Could it be that my Taoist friend also has the last name Fu?" Wei Tu asked curiously.

After many years, he no longer had any hatred for Sun Chixin.

After all, his grandson Sun Yu had died in his hands, so the grudges were settled.

Sun Chixin didn't know he was the murderer.

There is no need to offend the family again.

However, he was still quite curious about the migration in Qingzhu Mountain.

"My surname is Chi, and I have a single name. I am not a member of the Fu family. Fellow Taoist Fang can just call Chi a fellow Taoist Chi or shopkeeper Chi."

Sun Chixin had a complicated look on his face when he heard Wei Tu's words. He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

Late letter.

Sun Chixin.

It was obvious that Sun Chixin hid his real name.

"Shopkeeper Chi."

Wei Tu chose a common name.

"The Fu family takes good care of me, so I joined the Fu family as the shopkeeper and was in charge of Wansheng Trading Company." Sun Chixin continued.

Wei Tu felt that what Sun Chixin said was untrue.

If Sun Chixin was truly grateful to the Fu family, it would be impossible for him to remain anonymous for so many years.

Qingzhu Mountain is not a demonic sect.

Nothing will happen if your real name is revealed.

This time, if his identity as a third-level alchemist wasn't sensitive and he "accidentally killed" Liang Yijiang, he wouldn't mind exposing his real name.

However, Wei Tu was only slightly interested in Qingzhushan and Sun Chixin. Seeing that Sun Chixin was hiding something, he had no interest in asking.

But just when Wei Tu turned around and left.

However, they saw a female cultivator dressed as a maid coming from the back door. She walked to the counter and transmitted a few words to Sun Chixin.

"Shopkeeper Chi, the eldest lady has given a secret order to find a foreign monk named Yi Yun."

"Provide Yi Yun's clues and you will be rewarded heavily. Whoever catches Yi Yun will be rewarded with one hundred thousand spiritual stones."

Hear this.

Wei Tu couldn't sit still at all.

Yi Yun was the pseudonym he used when he took the Deng Yun Feizhou on this trip.

The only crisis in this trip, the God Jia Sect, he had already used someone else's help to clear away the suspicion. There is no reason why he would be wanted.

Furthermore, if the Shenjia Sect really wanted to arrest him, wouldn't it be better to arrest him on the Dengyun Feizhou?

There is no reason to secretly launch a wanted search for him after arriving in Xiantao City.

"Except for Yu Wencheng, the monk I offended during this trip was the golden elixir robber..."

"Ji Zhang..."

Wei Tu figured out some clues.

A few days ago, when Wang Tianwu was fighting with the Liuyu Sect robbers, he shouted out the words "Ji Zhang" and "Zidu Leihuo" in surprise.

Afterwards, through the gossip of the passengers on the flying boat, Wei Tu learned that this "Ji Zhang" was the headmaster of the Tianyi Sect.

One of the leaders of the Six Desire Sect is a direct descendant of the Tianyi Sect, but what about the other five?

At that time, many travelers believed that the other five leaders of the Six Desire Sect, like Ji Zhang, were also disciples of the Great Immortal Sect of the Xiao Kingdom.

After all, even if Xiao Guo's casual cultivators could pick out six powerful late-stage Jindan cultivators, they did not have the organizational power to form the Six Desire Sect, a bandit gang.

"The Golden Core robber seems to be closely related to the Fu family in Xiantao City."

Wei Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.

Apart from this, it was difficult for him to think of why the eldest lady of the Fu family specifically wanted a stranger like him.

"Fortunately, I changed my vest in advance."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yi Yun? I wonder why the eldest lady wanted to arrest this foreign monk. What is his purpose?"

At this time, Sun Chixin asked.

"This matter is an order given by the eldest lady herself, and I don't know about it. We just obey the order obediently. There is no need to ask any more questions."

"Jinglian Temple is also involved in this matter. It has sent several Jindan Zhenjun to lurk outside Xiantao City to search for foreign monks."

The maid replied in a low voice.
