Chapter 40 Fool

"Thank you, Senior Jin, for escorting me all the way. This is a little thought from this junior, please be sure to accept it. With Senior Jin's cultivation level, he won't be able to use it, but the juniors in the family can always use it."

At the door of his residence on Xinming Street, Wu Tao held a small spiritual light-covering robe and handed it to Jin Ke.

Jin Ke looked at Wu Tao and felt that Master Li was different from other weapon refiners in that he was well-mannered and well-mannered. Although he was sent to assist Shopkeeper Yu, it was okay for Shopkeeper Yu to ask him to occasionally protect others, but To protect is a matter of affection, and not to protect is a duty. Many people cannot figure this out.

The weapon master named Li Mo in front of him could carry it clearly, which made Jin Ke feel very comfortable, and he was very willing to escort Li Mo all the way. He took the robe and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, then I'll go first Okay, Master Li, take care. I’ll send it to you next time you deliver it to the spiritual materials shop.”

"Senior Jin, walk slowly."

After watching Jin Ke leave, Wu Tao returned to the house, turned on the soundproof and anti-peeping formation, poured a cup of tea, sat on the Taishi chair he made, and drank tea while recalling what had just happened.

In fact, when he declined the invitation to join the Weapon Cultivation Masters Association, he thought that the other party might cause trouble, so he was cautious during this period.

Unexpectedly, I really came to intercept and kill him today.

The aura fluctuations of those two casual cultivators were clearly those of the fifth level of Qi refining.

Without Jin Ke's escort, he might have really run away.

With one at the fifth level of Qi Refining, he thought he could still give it a try, but with two, it wasn't too safe, so it would be better to use the Divine Walking Talisman to escape.

Stay cautious and you will live longer.

Thinking of Fang Ming's attitude in Yuexian Tower, I knew that these so-called Weapon Refiner Associations were definitely not good people. Also, any organization could be kind. If it was kind, it would be impossible to gain a foothold in this environment.

"The other party who dares to attack in the outer city must be trying to take advantage of this chaotic situation."

"Also, then Wu Zhongxing..."

Wu Tao has been in contact with Wu Zhongxing for a month, and he also has a general understanding of Wu Zhongxing, who is very naive. However, he is also a good person. He thought that to persuade him to join, he just used his emotions and reason, and his words were not overly aggressive.

Moreover, from a month of verbal conversations, Wu Zhongxing also told him that the original intention of their association was to allow the casual cultivators to advance and retreat together, watch and help each other, and live more calmly in this world.

“Advance together, retreat together, and help each other. If an organization can maintain this original intention when it is established, I believe it. However, once the hierarchy of president, vice president, and members is established, it is impossible to maintain the same original intention. Advance and retreat.”

Wu Tao has already seen through this.

It's not that he thinks something is wrong. Class is something inherent in a group, regardless of any living group. It is inevitable and cannot be eliminated. However, joining the association is indeed not in his interest.

"This month, Wu Zhongxing is indeed a good person. He came to inform me that Fang Ming wanted to take action against me. This seems like something he can do."

Wu Tao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of Wu Zhongxing. Of course, he was not worried about Wu Zhongxing, but worried: "Xie Tao, Fang Ming, if these two people are not dead, they are indeed a threat to me."

"During this period, in addition to delivering goods, I will practice and improve my strength. We will settle the account after the meat refining stage is completed."

Although Wu Tao said he wanted to keep a low profile, people were going to kill him, so he couldn't remain indifferent.

Burying this matter deep in his heart, Wu Tao began to practice. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

It was past noon the next day.

As soon as Wu Tao was about to practice the dragon spear technique, the soundproof and anti-peep formation sounded a beep. He hurried over and thought to himself: "Is it someone from the Demon-Slaying Hall and the patrol team coming to check again?"

He looked out of habit and saw that it was Wu Zhongxing.

Wu Zhongxing had known his address for a long time, but he never came to disturb him at home once. Even if he persuaded him to join the association, he only showed up to persuade him when he went out to set up a stall.

It can be seen that he is a very principled person.

This visit must be about what happened yesterday.

Wu Tao had a clear mind, opened the door, cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Wu!"

"Fellow Daoist Li, I came here because of what happened yesterday..." When Wu Zhongxing said this, he looked quite embarrassed, and he felt guilty.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, please come in and talk!"

"Thank you!"

After inviting Wuzhong Xing in, Wu Tao made him a cup of tea. Of course it couldn't be spiritual tea, but ordinary tea: "Fellow Taoist Wu, please have some tea!"

Then wait for Wu Zhongxing to explain what happened yesterday.

Wu Zhongxing did not drink tea, but took out two books, pushed them towards Wu Tao from the table, and said: "Fellow Daoist Li, these are the two most precious weapon refining secrets in our association. Please accept them, Friend Daoist Li."

Wu Tao looked at the titles on the books, "Secret Book of Refining the First-Level and Fifth-Level Spiritual Traveling Boots" and "Secret Book of Refining the First-Level and Sixth-Level Magical Weapon Splitting Light Sword", and was slightly surprised. These two books on the refining of magical weapons were very useful. For casual cultivators, it is extremely precious.

Of course Wu Tao knew why Wu Zhong did this, but he gave such important things in the association to an outsider, and he was not afraid of punishment from Xie Tao and Fang Ming?

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I know what you mean, but this is too valuable. Are you afraid that President Xie and Vice President Fang will punish you for this?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhongxing sighed and said, "President Xie and Vice President Fang were innocently killed by the demonic cultivators because they broke into the association."

Wu Tao was stunned. These two enemies were dead? He was still prepared to let things go, but he always felt that something was wrong, but... he still believed Wu Zhongxing's words.

"Please accept my condolences..." Hahaha.

Wu Zhongxing did not answer, but stood up, bowed at a right angle, and said sincerely: "Friend Li, I apologize to you here. If I hadn't recommended you to the association, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster for nothing."

"These two refining secrets are my apology. Please accept them, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Friend Wu, I accept it. Friend Wu, can you tell me the details of Fang Ming's interception and killing me?"

Wu Zhongxing slowly narrated that when Wu Tao refused in Yuexianlou, Xie Tao had the intention to kill him, and he also told the subsequent things, but he said that when he rushed over, Xie Tao and Fang Ming were still fine, and when he returned, they were dead.

After listening to Wu Zhongxing's story, Wu Tao said expressionlessly: "If you can't get it, destroy it. You also spread rumors that I want to join the Jiu Ming San Cultivator Association. It's all made up... Is this the concept of Xie Tao's association?"

"Advance and retreat together, help each other... hehe..."

Wu Zhongxing's face was gloomy. Obviously, this incident was a big blow to him. He always believed that what he did was right. He never expected that he would be stabbed in the back by the person he trusted the most.

He said, "I have disbanded the association."

After saying that, seeing that Wu Tao no longer expressed his opinion, he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Li, you said, we casual cultivators are already so miserable, being squeezed out of our living space by the big sects like Wuquan Mountain. Why do we, as casual cultivators, persecute each other?"

"I have always believed that we casual cultivators should unite and jointly resist the squeeze of the big sects, but I seem to be wrong... Fellow Daoist Li, do you think that people like me are stupid?"

Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing, and his heart was turbulent. He thought about it, and then said seriously, "Not stupid. In fact, Fellow Daoist Wu, there are many people like you, but you just haven't discovered them."

"Really?"

Wu Zhongxing's eyes lit up.

Then, he stood up, bowed to Wu Tao solemnly, and said: "Daoyou Li, I won't bother you anymore. Take care. I wonder if we will have the chance to meet again in the future."

Wu Tao returned the greeting: "Daoyou Wu, are you leaving?"

Wu Zhongxing said: "After this incident, I have figured it out. Wuquan Mountain is too powerful. The independent cultivators have no chance. I will go to other immortal cultivation cities. The strength is not so strong. Maybe we independent cultivators still have a chance to resist."

"Daoyou Li, I am going to find a fool, a fool like me!"

"Daoyou Li, goodbye!"

Wu Tao looked at Wu Zhongxing's face, which was no longer sad, but excited. He walked out of the door. The snow outside was melting, and the sun was shining on the ground and on Wu Zhongxing. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wu Tao felt that Wu Zhongxing was a little dazzling at this time.

"Daoyou Wu, I wish you success!"

Wu Tao bowed to Wu Zhongxing, who was walking briskly.
