Being a Late Bloomer in the Cultivation World

He arrived at the cave and, with a casual strike, shattered the teetering blue shield blocking the entrance.

As soon as the blue shield shattered, Geng Wen could clearly see Zhao Qingluo’s state within the cave.

At that moment, Zhao Qingluo’s eyes were hazy and her clothes were half-undone. Her full, pale curves were partially concealed, and her slender legs gently parted and closed...

"What a stunner!"

Geng Wen licked his lips and began to undress, preparing to go forward and spend the night with Zhao Qingluo.

However, at that very moment, large swaths of earthen spikes suddenly erupted from the cave floor.

A dark-cyan Thorn Wood Prison fell from above, aiming to trap Geng Wen.

In addition, a silver hairpin shot through the air, streaking toward Geng Wen’s heart.

"Who’s there?" Geng Wen was stunned. He quickly reactivated the Golden Light Talisman he had used before, slapping it onto his body.

The next moment, a volley of attacks struck simultaneously.

The Golden Light Shield created by the talisman flickered a few times but managed to block all the attacks.

Seeing this, Geng Wen quietly sighed in relief. His gaze narrowed as he looked at Wei Tu, who now stood in front of Zhao Qingluo.

"Junior, it’s you?"

Geng Wen recognized Wei Tu immediately. He sneered and said, "You think you can handle me with just your Middle-Stage Qi Cultivation?"

Wei Tu didn’t reply. Holding several Spirit Talismans between his fingers, he chanted a Spiritual Spell and launched another volley of attacks, identical to the first, at Geng Wen.

This time, under the assault, the light from the Golden Light Shield dimmed, looking as if it would shatter at any moment.

"I won’t fight you right now!" Geng Wen shot Wei Tu a hateful glare, then flicked his sleeves and retreated out of the cave.

’In any case, I already have Zhao Qingluo’s Storage Bag,’ he thought. ’With the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, there’s no need to bother with her body anymore.’

Seeing this, Wei Tu breathed a quiet sigh of relief.

He took out an Earth Escape Talisman and hid Zhao Qingluo thirty feet underground. Then, activating his Xiangluo Nose, he set off in pursuit of Geng Wen.

’Just now, I had planned to ambush Geng Wen and kill him in a single blow, but I didn’t expect his Golden Light Talisman to be so tough.’

’Six Tier One Attack Talismans weren’t even enough to break through it.’

"Junior, you can fly?"

Geng Wen fled the valley at top speed. However, after covering several miles and thinking he was safe, he looked ahead, and his face immediately twisted in disbelief.

Wei Tu, whom he thought he had left far behind, was now hovering in the air, blocking his path.

Wei Tu ignored Geng Wen’s shock. He held a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone in his left hand to replenish his Magical Power, while his right hand, holding several Talismans, flung them down at Geng Wen on the ground.

’How am I supposed to fight this?’ Geng Wen’s brow furrowed. He raised a small cyan shield to block Wei Tu’s various Attack Talismans while desperately trying to think of a way to defeat his opponent.

However, no matter what he came up with, he couldn’t think of a single way to defeat Wei Tu.

’If only I had refined the Golden Carving’s Beast Taming Token sooner.’

Geng Wen was filled with regret.

’With the Golden Carving by my side, I wouldn’t be having so much trouble with a flying Qi Cultivator like Wei Tu.’

「One hour later.」

As the small cyan shield in front of Geng Wen shattered, he shouted, "Junior, I regret not listening to Chu Yinn and killing you sooner!" before being completely slain by a Demon Wood Talisman from Wei Tu.

"A pity." Wei Tu walked over to Geng Wen’s corpse and removed three Storage Bags.

He glanced at Geng Wen’s personal Storage Bag, shook his head, and sighed internally.

’Because I didn’t have a way to kill him in a single blow, Geng Wen managed to destroy most of the items in his own Storage Bag right before he died.’

’But thankfully, Zhao Qingluo’s and the Blood Elder Demon’s Storage Bags weren’t destroyed.’

A look of delight appeared on Wei Tu’s face.

Compared to Geng Wen’s possessions, he was far more interested in the Foundation Establishment Pill hidden in Zhao Qingluo’s Storage Bag.

After recovering some of his Spiritual Power, Wei Tu activated his Geomagnetic Primordial Light and flew back to the valley.

’That old bastard said the Purple Kite Pill’s effects only last for three hours. It took me over an hour to kill him, and he spent nearly an hour fighting the Blood Elder Demon before that...’

Wei Tu stood before the cave, casting a wary glance at the two great Spirit Beasts—the Cyan Leaf Snake and the Golden Carving—lying on the ground.

After a moment of thought, he made a decision. He took out the Silver Hairpin Magical Artifact and pierced the Cyan Leaf Snake’s head, causing it to burst. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began using his Guardian Map Divine Sense to perform the Refinement on the Golden Carving’s Beast Taming Token.
