Jade stalactite.
In a cave nourished by spiritual veins, under a long geological history and specific geological conditions, the essence of heaven and earth formed stalactites and stalagmites over many years.
You can use medicine, make elixirs, restore spiritual power and mana, increase longevity, and also use jade liquid to refine your body.
It is a rare spiritual creature from heaven and earth.
Of course, there are more than just these kinds of spiritual objects that assist in the refining of jade liquid, but all of them are extremely precious and hard to find in the world. Lin Shan was extremely excited to get such news.
"Do you know the exact location of this object?"
What I didn't expect was that Wu Hanqiao really knew, but it was a little unnatural to say it.
"Report to the leader, according to my senior brother from Jingyang Academy, this spiritual object comes from the Swallowing Star Mountains in the northeastern part of the Lu State, and it is also within the forbidden area of ​​​​the cliff..."
"Cliff Forbidden Land!"
There were constant exclamations in the hall, and everyone took a breath of air.
Everyone is familiar with the Cliff Forbidden Land. This is one of the most famous forbidden lands in the Star Swallowing Mountains. It is said that a long time ago, evil spirits from outside the world invaded this world, and the great powers of this world gathered to fight, and the ruins were left after the war.
There are not only various inheritances left over from long ago, but also various bizarre phenomena of heaven and earth, such as Aurora Sea, Dangmo Cave, Evil Soul Tomb, Hongya Cave, etc.
When the Lujiang League besieged and conquered the Dai family, the Dai family invited foreign aid from the Jindan period, including San Yangzi and Cheng Longzi. Among them, Cheng Longzi got a "Star-Glowing Aurora Mirror" from the Aurora Sea.
The ancestor of the Yang family in the late Jindan period was seriously injured.
Everyone who participated in that battle still has fresh memories.
The forbidden area on the cliff is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be found there forever. Almost everyone in the cultivation world of Lu country knows it, and all the monks will change their expressions upon hearing this.
Wu Hanqiao fully recounted what his senior brother said after drinking.
"Thousands of years ago, there was a golden elixir-level elder from a sect in the Lu State who was about to die, so before he died, he entered the cliff forbidden area for a try. Later, this real man not only came out safely, but also found magical spiritual objects such as reed jade and stalactites.
, not only successfully increased his longevity, but also brought him back to the sect to train two golden elixir stage monks."
"There were too many coincidental factors in that expedition. The elder of the sect knew that it would be difficult for him to go in again in his life. In addition, the top forces were forcing him to inquire, so he told the inside story."
"It turns out that there is a natural cave stalactite forest in the Hongya Cave in the forbidden area of ​​​​the cliff. In an inconspicuous corner, there is a special 100,000-year-old reed jade stalactite hanging upside down. Its tip is less than three inches.
It’s the famous reed jade stalactite.”
"The real essence of reed jade stalactites is only three inches long. After being broken off by the elders of the sect, it takes about a thousand years to settle before it can be restored again. At that time, the 100,000-year-old reed jade stalactites will be regenerated at the tip.
."
"Now, the time is almost up. The essence of the reed jade stalactite has probably grown out and is ready to be collected. Many thousand-year-old forces in the world of cultivation have heard this and are trying to get a share of the pie."
"Of course, especially the older generations in various sects and aristocratic families who are about to reach the end of their lifespan, they want to strive for a better future before they die, or they may explore the way for the forces behind them and contribute their last remaining energy."
…
After listening, everyone suddenly realized that this was the background.
Those forces that have existed for more than a thousand years have been exposed to this kind of information more or less back then, so they still remember the matter clearly. However, nascent sects like Xun Gu Sect, because of their insufficient background and years, naturally do not understand the inside story.
.
Fortunately, Wu Hanqiao knew the intelligence brother from Jingyang Academy, otherwise Lin Shan would still have been kept in the dark.
It's just that the reed jade stalactites are in the forbidden area of ​​​​the cliffs of the Swallowing Star Mountains...
Hongya Cave?
This place name sounds a bit familiar...
Lin Shan's face looked a little strange. He couldn't remember it, so he didn't think too much about it. He put it aside for the time being, raised his chin and began to think deeply.
The group of believers below looked at each other in confusion, not daring to disturb the leader's thinking.
The time of a stick of incense is not long or short.
Lin Shan raised his head again and directly ordered Lu Xiuming and Wu Hanqiao:
"You will dispatch your troops immediately to find out all the information about the cliff forbidden area for me in detail!"
The two were shocked and quickly tried to dissuade them:
"Leader, think twice! The forbidden area on the cliff is a famously dangerous place. If ten people enter, nine will not return. The remaining one will leave it to fate. You must not enter it rashly!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but say: "I just asked you to get information for me first, and I will decide whether to go or not after a while!"
Everyone in His Highness also came out to dissuade him: "The leader is young and already in the ranks of Jindan Daoist people. He still has a lot of time and infinite possibilities in the future. There is no need to take risks. Please consider it again and again!"
Lin Shan had a hard time saying that he couldn't tell his subordinates about his own situation, so he could only make a few vague remarks:
"Don't worry about it, just ask me for information!"
Everyone was still worried, and everyone tried to persuade him not to be impulsive.
"The leader has now become a real person in the golden elixir, so he doesn't need the jade liquid to refine his form. This kind of spiritual object that assists you in breaking through the golden elixir stage is already dispensable to you, so why take the risk?"
Lin Shan waved his hand impatiently, he couldn't tell these people that I was in the soul elixir stage and hadn't broken through the golden elixir stage yet, right?
Thinking of this, he didn't want to get entangled too much, but secretly noted the matter. After instructing them to investigate with all their strength, he began to change the topic and asked Yu Jiaoniang for clues about the Star Power Technique and the Star Power Supernatural Power.
However, Yu Jiaoniang, the leader of the intelligence hall, was very incompetent. Not only was there no news about the jade liquid refining, but there was also no clues about star power.
Lin Shan was furious and slapped the gum hard and stood up!
"Trash! For ten years, I haven't found anything, and I can't even find out any news. Why should I keep you here?!"
Yu Jiao Niang knelt on the ground, crying so hard that her pear blossoms were covered with rain, and her face was so frightened that she looked pitiful.
Lin Shan felt more and more that this woman was a vase, useless at all, and he couldn't even find any information. He was just thinking about whether to expel her from the mountain gate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Another person walked out of the hall, a short and thin man.
"To the leader, my subordinates know a little bit about the clues to the star power."
"oh?"
Everyone looked sideways and realized that it was Li Yuanjie. This man was always known for his calmness in the sect. After the fall of the country, he also had a group of loyal royal family members who helped him to gather information about his homeland.
Lin Shan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that these subordinates had their own information channels, which were even better than the Xun Gu Sect's Information Hall. He asked him to come quickly.
Li Yuanjie bowed his hands in salute and talked about what he learned about the situation.
"The leader should know that his subordinate Guo Kingdom was once destroyed by a demonic sect from the Jin Kingdom, and that demonic sect was called Swallowing Star Sect."
Everyone nodded, knowing his past.
Lin Shan couldn't help but think about it: "Does the Swallowing Star Gate have anything to do with the Swallowing Star Mountain Range?"
Li Yuanjie nodded: "Master Mingjian, this is indeed the case."
"The Swallowing Star Mountain Range is in the northeastern part of the Lu State. It is also bordered by the southeastern Chu State and the northwest Jin State. It can be said to be the junction of the Three Kingdoms. Many magic monks also like to explore there."
"The Swallowing Star Sect is a casual cultivator sect that came into being two hundred years ago. This demonic sect trains disciples and likes to send them to the Swallowing Star Mountains to explore paths and obtain materials for the powerful people in the sect. The entire sect also
The main goal is to explore the Star Swallowing Mountains, and it has been this way for many years."
"It's just that the Swallowing Star Mountain Range is really huge, and there are a lot of dangerous and forbidden areas in it, and there are countless monsters and beasts entrenched in it, which are not friendly to human monks. Therefore, so far, the human race can explore less than 20% of the area, and the farther into the deep mountains and old forests,
The more dangerous it is, the more difficult it is to enter."
…
Lin Shan nodded frequently: "But, what does this have to do with the star power technique I need?"
At this time, Li Yuanjie took out a jade slip and presented it to him while also explaining at the same time.
"The remnants of my hometown in Guo, young and old, have been working underground there. The news they sent me a few days ago mentioned that they heard that the Swallowing Star Gate has been snaring formation mages everywhere in the past few decades. It seems that
Preparing for the inheritance cave of a certain Nascent Soul Real Lord..."
"The inheritance cave of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Everyone was shocked and listened attentively.
Li Yuanjie also introduced in detail:
"It is said that the cave of this existence seems to vaguely correspond to the position of the stars in the sky. It can only be revealed at a specific moment and under a specific star. It has been hidden on weekdays. Therefore, some knowledgeable demonic forces speculate that this Nascent Soul
What the True Lord has learned is most likely related to star power."
Lin Shan looked at the records on the jade slips and found that they were not inconsistent with what Li Yuanjie said.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and asked by chance:
"Do you still remember the name of the True Monarch Nascent Soul?"
Li Yuanjie looked hesitant: "It seems... His name is True Lord Yuxing, and my subordinates are not sure."
"Jade Star True Lord!"
Lin Shan suddenly recalled that just half a month ago, he had a battle with Protector Qiu in Jingchuan, the eastern part of the Lu State. Through the star gate, he heard the words of the young master Jiuyou on the opposite side, which seemed to mention "The secret of True Lord Jade Star".
"Hide" thing!
According to his speculation at that time, the Star Gate in Protector Qiu's hand was not only a sub-weapon of Young Master Jiuyou's spiritual treasure "Youxing Gate", but it also assisted in forming formations at critical moments to obtain the secret treasure of True Lord Jade Star.
important means.
However, when Qiu Dharma Mountain ran out of water, he had no choice but to consume an important item, attracting a massive amount of star power to arrive in an attempt to open the star gate to protect himself. As a result, the star power was intercepted by the virtual star disk, and the star gate was also intercepted by Lin Shan, resulting in Jiuyou Shao.
The main spirit treasure is defective, which is one of the fundamental reasons for the feud between the two.
"Young Master Jiuyou has been plotting the inheritance of True Monarch Jade Star, and the people from the Swallowing Star Sect are also making preparations. It seems that those in the Demonic Way may not be the only ones who know about this matter..."
Lin Shan secretly weighed in his heart that it was not convenient for him to provoke Young Master Jiuyou for the time being, but if the Swallowing Star Sect...
Li Yuanjie has a very discerning eye, and I have to say that although everyone in Lin Shan's group likes to fish, they are very good at observing words and emotions, and they all have the potential to be fools.
"The Swallowing Star Sect is a medium-sized sect, very similar to our Xun Gu Sect forces... There are three Jindan Daoist people in charge of the sect, and they have thousands of demonic disciples, mainly composed of three casual cultivating sects.
Check and balance each other and be consistent with the outside world..."
Lin Shan had a general understanding of the situation on the other side. To put it bluntly, the Swallowing Star Sect was a sect composed of three Jindan-level casual cultivators. They had the same goal of exploring the Swallowing Star Mountains, so they united to eat meat and drink soup together. It was as simple as that.
As for this sect, which has only been established for two hundred years, it dares to destroy a small country like Guo.
The Guo Kingdom is just a small country, and the power of the demonic sect behind it is gradually declining. They have no choice but to swallow their anger. There is no shame in ceding territory. Who told them that their fists are not strong enough.
When the Swallowing Star Sect takes over a piece of territory, it is natural for them to support their own agents, and it is natural for them to destroy the original royal family.
What's more, the rise and fall of forces in the demonic realm is commonplace. Everyone wants to seize the day and make enemies. Take advantage first and then talk about it. Whether you can take revenge in the future depends on your ability. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, it’s the tradition there to serve food to people in person. People with tough backgrounds don’t dare to mess with them, and everyone wants to pinch the soft persimmons. If the Guo Kingdom is not destroyed by the Swallowing Star Sect today, it may be eaten by other sects tomorrow. The key reason is still
The result of the indifference of the forces behind them.
Therefore, Li Yuanjie was extremely resentful and harbored deep hatred for more than one sect in his heart.
Lin Shan thought for a moment, and found that the three Golden Core Stage monks were not much different from the Xun Gu Sect. He was now considered to be one Golden Core Stage warrior, and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was officially one and a half because of the bonus of the Formation Master.
Master Zhankong is also a master of formations, he can barely be counted as half of it.
In total, the high-end combat power of both sides is quite balanced, but when comparing the disciples, Xun Gujiao's side definitely does not have an advantage. First of all, they have thousands of people, while Tianfu Mountain's side only has a few hundred.
Moreover, most of the demonic monks are fierce and aggressive. The Xun Gu Sect's disciples are all new disciples who have just been recruited. Their combat effectiveness and loyalty will still need time to be tested.
Of course, this is just a superficial comparison.
In fact, as long as the high-end combat power can determine the outcome, these disciples below will only serve as a containment before they grow up, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
Lin Shan probably thought about it for a while. Young Master Jiuyou and the Swallowing Star Gate have been preparing for decades. It will take some time for the Jade Star True Monarch's secret secret to be opened. He is not in a hurry and will wait until he gets the breakthrough golden elixir first.
After finishing the previous matters, go to Swallowing Star Gate to find out the news about Jade Star True Monarch’s secret treasure.
"Well, I already know about this. The information you provided this time is very crucial. I will give you a big credit!"
After so many years, the Xun Gu Sect's contribution system has gradually been established. It can be exchanged for resources and issued tasks. It is unlocked level by level to gain power and authority, giving these high-level officials the right to cultivate their direct descendants. It can be regarded as a virtuous circle.
Li Yuanjie thanked him and stepped back without saying another word.
After listening to all the reports, Lin Shan had a general understanding of the current situation of the Xun Gu Sect, and he had a pretty good idea.
He first delegated more power to Lu Xiuming, and then severely reprimanded a group of inactive senior executives, asking them to remember and stop being lazy.
As for the vase Yu Jiao Niang, Lin Shan originally wanted to drive it away directly, but the Black Skeleton Demon Lord begged hard, and it was difficult to treat the "Hei Ku Elder" too lightly in front of everyone, otherwise this skeleton would be very difficult to deal with in the future.
It is possible to lose all prestige within the church.
So Lin Shan simply removed Yu Jiaoniang's position as the leader of the Intelligence Hall, split her rights into two parts, and handed them over to Wu Hanqiao and Li Yuanjie respectively. Both of them had their own information channels, which could help the Xun Gu Sect to reorganize quickly.
Intelligence team.
In addition, Lin Shan also ordered them to investigate whether there is a sect called Jiuyou Sect in the Demonic Kingdom, and to find out the details of the other party, so as to do their homework in advance.
One last thing is that as the leader of the Xun Gu Sect, Lin Shan should establish his own dharma title after breaking through the Golden Core stage. He would open the gate to invite his colleagues to a banquet, which would not only show off his power and celebrate, but also bring his own name to the world.
The head spreads out.
This matter was left to Lu Xiuming. Now he started sending invitations to various friendly forces. The time was set for Tianfu Mountain in three months. Thinking about it, it should be too late.
After everything was explained, Lin Shan returned to his cave and began to retreat.
First practice the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" to see if it can solve the current problem of kidney deficiency.
