Chapter 255 The undercurrent is surging
Above the main hall, many senior officials of the Xun Gu Sect looked at each other, communicating with each other, and secretly transmitting messages to discuss.
Everyone is surprised that all the Jindan Masters in the Lujiang League actually covet the reed jade stalactite.
Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat. So, wouldn't everyone be a competitor?
"All fellow Taoists are also interested in reed jade stalactites?"
All the golden elixir masters nodded. Such spiritual objects can not only extend their lifespan, but also can be left to the next generation in the sect to assist in refining the jade liquid and break through the golden elixir avenue. No power will be too little.
Lin Shan looked puzzled: "It is true that reed jade stalactites are the best spiritual objects, but with so many of us here, is it enough?"
The ancestor of the Yang family told him not to worry.
"It is said that Hongya Cave is extremely vast. It is known that the area that has been explored has a radius of thousands of miles, and even leads directly to underground rivers. Stalactites are densely covered on the top of the cave. The golden elixir period elder of a certain sect who went in to explore that year
"Although only one reed jade stalactite was found, it does not mean that there is only one in the cave."
"You must know that it is recorded in ancient books that there are reed jade domes, a forest with a staff, and Kunshi earth veins, in groups of three to five..."
It means that once the reed jade stalactites appear, under the guidance of the terrain, the essence of heaven and earth will gather, and at least three to five will be formed. Therefore, there is definitely more than that one in Hongya Cave, but it is hidden deep among the many stalactites, making it difficult to detect.
Discovery is.
"Ancient books also say that the white wall shines brightly, the cool breeze penetrates the body, the bell rings in ancient times, and the shadow is half an inch shallow..."
What is described here is the details, which means that where the reed jade stalactites are located, the stone wall on the top of the cave appears white; the breeze blowing here will ignore any obstruction and penetrate through the body of the living beings;
If you put your ear next to the stalactites and stalagmites, you can hear the sound of bells from ancient times; in the huge forest of stalactites, only the shadow of the reed jade stalactites is half an inch shorter than the other stalactite pillars.
These are records about the characteristics of reed jade stalactites. Of course, the authenticity cannot be verified. Whether what is said in the book is correct or not, few people except those who have conducted field inspections know.
Lin Shan nodded slowly. If there were three to five, then everyone would still have hope to give it a try.
"Could it be that all the real people are planning to go to the Swallowing Star Mountains this time and go deep into the cliff forbidden area?"
"Of course not."
Everyone shook their heads. Except for the Yang family, all the other forces in the Lujiang League only had one Jindan master in charge. He could be said to be the backbone of the clan. Moreover, everyone knew better than anyone else where the cliff forbidden area was. It was impossible to use it as a last resort.
Personal risk.
If something happens to them, the forces behind them are likely to be wiped out. Without Jin Dan Zhenren to take charge, even if the enemies don't come to the door, the neighbors around them will smell the smell of blood and pounce on them like sharks.
Therefore, except for the Yang family, who will send Golden Core monks to go this time, other forces in the alliance will only send Foundation Establishment monks to lead the team, and most of them will be old people who are approaching their end, or disciples who want to get rich and rich in danger.
The Lujiang Alliance can be considered an alliance after all. Even if they are usually at odds with each other within their own homes, they can still stay together for a while when they go out.
This time the Yang family took the lead and planned to look for opportunities in depth, so they sought allies within the alliance to form a team.
The Xun Gu Sect now had two Golden Elixir Masters, and they suddenly became a decisive force. The ancestor of the Yang family thought about it and asked Lin Shan if he had any idea of sending anyone to accompany him.
When Lin Shan heard this, his heart moved slightly and he began to weigh it up.
Originally, he also urgently needed to break through the golden elixir stage as soon as possible to balance his dilemma of separation of soul and body, otherwise he would transform into a ghost cultivator and ruin his plan of dual cultivation.
The most important thing is that it is useless for him to retreat now.
On the one hand, I am stuck in the late stage of foundation building and cannot make any progress towards Dzogchen. On the other hand, I am stuck in the early stage of soul elixir and I dare not continue to use soul source to improve.
If he dares to continue mindlessly improving the cultivation of Soul Pill Avenue, it will accelerate his own transformation, and even turn to an irreversible process, causing the physical essence to be completely eroded by the soul power and even give up. This is obviously impossible for him at the moment.
accepted.
Turning dual cultivation into single cultivation is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall.
If he can advance the Golden Elixir Avenue and the Soul Elixir Avenue at the same time, then the Golden Elixir Stage will definitely crush the same level. This is the basis for protecting the way forward in the future, and it is also the confidence to be proud of the monks of the same level.
You must know that just by breaking through the soul elixir stage, he can defeat the Nine Nether Sect Qiu protector who has been immersed in the golden elixir stage for many years.
If you can break through to the golden elixir stage and have two great elixirs in your body, you will never be able to even carry his shoes if you encounter an opponent like Protector Qiu again!
I finally learned about the reed jade stalactite this time, so I naturally wanted to try to get such a spiritual object to make up for the last shortcoming of jade liquid refining. After all, if I missed this village, I wouldn't have this shop.
Moreover, he has now become a real person, and he has a small magical power, seal-level wind escape talisman to protect his life. Logically speaking, anyone in the world can get it, so there is no need to be too timid.
In the past, when I was not strong enough, I had to hesitate over and over again to take risks. Now that I have the strength, I naturally don’t have to sit around all day long. I just fight when I have to. The path of spiritual practice is inherently contrary to nature. If you don’t have a strong mentality, you are destined to waste your life.
Fight on the high road, walk on thin ice with a heart, act bravely and vigorously!
"Fellow Taoists, you have asked the right person. In fact, this leader has exactly what he wants. It would be best if we can go together and start a company."
Lin Shan also understood what everyone was thinking. We exchanged information on the road ahead, and worked together to find ways to overcome obstacles. When we were really close to the destination, we would go our separate ways and hunt for treasures.
Since the Lujiang Alliance can get this news, other forces from the Lu State will definitely send people there. This time the cliff forbidden area is a battle between dragons and tigers. Not only do they have to deal with various dangers in the world, but also man-made disasters and conspiracies must be guarded against.
The ancestor of the Yang family obviously meant the same thing. Sometimes there is strength in numbers, which will naturally intimidate Xiaoxiao and avoid a lot of trouble.
However, this time the Lujiang League only sent Jindan monks from the Yang family, which was still a bit weak. The Jindan ancestors of other factions were unable to leave, so it depends on whether the Xungu Sect has Jindan masters to participate.
Lin Shan naturally agreed. He also needed the guidance of others. After all, the Xun Gu Sect's intelligence system was currently very weak, so it would be good to ride on the coattails of his allies.
When everyone heard that Lin Shan had decisively agreed, they were all overjoyed and praised the Xun Gu leader for his boldness and courage.
However, the subsequent development exceeded their expectations.
Originally, it was imagined that Lin Shan had just broken through the Golden Core stage, and logically he should stay in Tianfu Mountain to consolidate his latent cultivation. Elder Heiku was the one who wanted to go, so it was impossible to just let him, a young genius, take the risk, right?
What's more, Elder Heiku is also a formation master. If he can follow the team, he will also provide great help, whether it is setting up formations or breaking formations. The ancestor of the Yang family is also looking forward to this.
Unexpectedly, Elder Heiku did not go, but stayed at Tianfu Mountain. The person who was going was the newly promoted leader of the Jindan period.
The ancestor of the Yang family looked hesitant and could only pretend to dissuade him.
"Master Lin is so young and has endless potential waiting to be tapped in the future. Why put himself at risk? Why not ask Elder Heiku to give it a try? I think with his attainments close to that of a master of formations, even if we gain nothing, we can escape unscathed.
possible."
Lin Shan waved his hand, his tone unquestionable.
"No need, Elder Heiku has lived for more than half of his life. It is the time to retire and enjoy happiness. How can I bear to let him run for me again? I used to lead people to overcome obstacles and move forward with heavy burdens. Now I give him a few years of peace and quiet. Only then can I become the leader of the teaching.
The Lord’s responsibility!”
Behind them, a group of disciples of the Xungu Sect wept and choked. They all lamented the righteousness of the sect leader for carrying up the banner of the sect on their own. They all wanted to follow the sect leader at all costs, up mountains of swords and seas of fire, vowing to level the cliffs.
Forbidden land.
Lin Shan comforted them one by one and told them that they could just stay in Tianfu Mountain with peace of mind. As a leader, he must shoulder his due responsibilities. All his disciples are like his children and it is impossible to lead them into a ditch.
Everyone cried loudly again and had a good time to say goodbye.
The Black Skull Demon King was really bored watching from the side, but he couldn't get angry in front of outsiders, so he could only cooperate with Lin Shan's performance, feeling depressed.
At this time, all the Jindan masters of the Lujiang League could no longer persuade him and could only obey him. After all, he was also a Jindan warrior, so it was better than nothing.
Although they are generally not optimistic about Lin Shan, they feel that this kid does have great potential, but he has just made a breakthrough and is probably a scumbag.
Seeing that he had decided to go, the ancestor of the Yang family could only nod and promised that if he encountered any danger on the road, he would try his best to take care of him.
Looking at it like this, it seems that the ancestor of the Yang family is going there in person!
This time, not only Lin Shan was surprised, but the other Jindan masters were also unprepared, and they all reacted at a loss.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, is it possible that you also want to go to the Cliff Forbidden Land in person?"
The ancestor of the Yang family is in the late stage of Jindan and is the Yang family's sea-fixing needle. If anything happens to him while he is here, it will be a disaster for the Yang family.
When the ancestor of the Dai family's Jindan late-stage Rongjin died unexpectedly, even though there were still three Jindan-stage monks left in the clan, they were still forcibly swallowed up by a group of forces.
Now after the battle for Dai in the Yang family, there are only three Jindan masters left. They are in a similar situation to the Dai family at the beginning. They even became fat in one breath because they swallowed one-third of the Dai family's wealth.
If it weren't for the support of the ancestors of the Yang family in the late Jindan period, and the support of such a large alliance as the Lujiang League, the Yang family might not even be able to maintain its status as a mining giant!
At such a difficult time, the ancestor of the Yang family actually planned to leave in person and go to the forbidden area on the cliffs of the Swallowing Star Mountains. This decision was naturally beyond everyone's expectations.
This is completely unreasonable!
"That's right, this reed jade stalactite is rare to see in a thousand years. The rest of the clan is not worried about it, but I am the only one who has taken action personally."
The Yang family ancestor's eyes were calm and his face was neither happy nor sad, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
At this time, everyone moved their positions one after another, trying to dissuade the ancestors of the Yang family from messing around.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, think twice. You should know how dangerous the Swallowing Star Mountain Range is, let alone the cliff forbidden area. If something happens to you, not only will the Yang family be in trouble, but even the Lujiang Alliance will be in big trouble!"
Even though internal fighting is very fierce on weekdays, when it comes to major issues of right and wrong, everyone suffers both loss and prosperity, and we understand this clearly.
In recent years, everyone has relied on the Lujiang Alliance to keep warm. It can be said that they have taken advantage of everything in the Lujiang River Basin, suppressing other forces to the point where they dare not let go. In the west of the Lu State, it is also a big tree that attracts trouble.
If the leader of the Yang family, the ancestor of the Yang family, is in trouble, the Lujiang Alliance may be in serious trouble. Forces from the outside world who see something wrong may find an opportunity and may even bite back.
The pattern of the Lujiang River Basin is very likely to undergo dramatic changes, resulting in a reshuffle, and everyone's vested interests will shrink or even be damaged. This is a situation that no one in Jindan wants to see.
The ancestor of the Yang family also knew that this time he personally took action, which could affect the whole body. However, he had reasons for having to go, and he had no intention of explaining it to everyone.
"You don't need to persuade me any more. Since Yang is going on this trip, there is certainly a reason why he has to go."
"I and Leader Lin can only try their best to take care of the juniors of each of your factions. Whether they can gain something or not, we have to leave it to fate."
"In short, no matter what the outcome of this trip is, everyone... just prepare in advance..."
"Nip problems before they happen..."
Listening to the words of the ancestor of the Yang family, Lin Shan felt as if he was explaining his funeral affairs, and he had an unknown premonition in his heart.
Will the Lujiang League, a behemoth that has been established for more than ten years, have any unpredictable chain reactions due to this trip to the Luyu Stalactite?
A group of Jindan masters also frowned and were worried, as if they had foreseen that the storm in the future was about to sweep across the Lujiang River Basin again.
In this world of infinite individual power, if something happens to the person at the top of the pyramid, the foundation below will also collapse. This is nothing new.
What's more, the dangerous situation in the cliff forbidden area, there are so many comrades fighting for the opportunity together, natural disasters and man-made disasters are unpredictable, this is a narrow escape, even in the late stage of Jindan, I dare not say that I can escape 100%.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ancestor of the Yang family smiled casually and shook his head.
"Isn't it true that nothing has happened? Why are you fellow Taoists so pessimistic? Maybe I will not only be able to come back safely this time, but I will also be able to bring all my disciples back with a full load. These are all unknown."
Lin Shan also echoed: "That's right! Don't feel discouraged before leaving. Sincerity in everything will lead to success. The two of us will definitely outperform everyone and win the first place! There is no need for you to emulate others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige.
."
Everyone then reluctantly smiled and congratulated the two on their success. At the same time, they did not have high expectations for this trip. They just hoped that nothing would happen to the ancestor of the Yang family.
After everyone discussed it for a long time, they said goodbye to each other and dispersed after descending Tianfu Mountain.
Three months after the appointment, all the families and horses gathered in Luzhong and set out for the Swallowing Star Mountains together.
…
After sending away a group of allies, Lin Shan also felt the urgency.
He only has three months to prepare, and then he will really start, his first long journey after breaking through the Soul Pill stage.
He is bound to get the reed jade stalactite!
Break through the golden elixir without delay!
This time I went to the Swallowing Star Mountains, which was different from the previous days when I went to Jingchuan to fight against Protector Qiu.
That's just a one-on-one fight. Even if you can't beat him, you can still run away.
The Cliff Forbidden Land has attracted the attention of the entire Lu Kingdom cultivation world, and there are many people focusing on this place.
There are even many old monsters who are approaching their end. They give it a try before they are about to die. The level of danger and fierce competition are definitely far greater than before!
Lin Shan took out the magic weapon Broken Water Sword and the iron rope dart seized from Protector Qiu, and threw them directly to the Black Skeleton Demon Lord beside him.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was stunned for a moment, then instantly overjoyed!
"Brother, these... these two magic weapons are... both given to me?"
Lin Shan glanced at it speechlessly: "Are you dreaming?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord showed a clear state: "I understand! You are afraid that you will fall into the forbidden land on the cliff and never return. There are obsessions between heaven and man, so you left these two magic weapons for me.
Protect the foundation of Tianfu Mountain after your death!"
Lin Shan: “???”
The Black Skull Demon Lord scratched his head and scratched his head: "Since you think this trip is extremely dangerous, why not just leave the innate... um... nothing else? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity to lose it in the forbidden area of the cliff?"
Lin Shan was furious. I don't care if this guy is still a thief, but he still wants to curse me?
"Crow Zui, who do you think can't come back?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord quickly apologized: "No, no, brother, I really don't mean that. It's just that you know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you prefer to go to the tiger mountains, and you also leave your two best magic weapons behind. Then what should you do if you encounter a bad person when you go out?
?”
Lin Shan pointed at the two magic weapons in his arms: "Who told you that I would leave them to you? I just want you to help me repair them, and try to repair these two magic weapons for me within three months.
As before!"
"Well..."
The Black Skull Demon Lord lowered his head to look at the two magic weapons. The small aqua blue sword was pitted and corroded into shape. The two large black chains were also chipped, with sword marks and scratches all over them. Those who didn't know thought that
It's waste.
It's obvious that they have been hurting each other for a long time, and as a result, both sides suffer losses.
"So, you think of me as a repairman?"
"if not?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was indignant: "I am a great master of weapon refining. If I am not showing you the door, repairing magic weapons, or working as a thug, what do you think I am?"
Lin Shan said indifferently: "We have signed a contract!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord became increasingly sad and angry: "You can't do whatever you want even after signing a contract. You don't treat me as a human being!"
When Lin Shan heard this, his face was filled with surprise. Hey, you, you still want to rebel?
"Have you forgotten the soul source I gave you?"
As soon as these words came out, the Black Skull Demon Lord's eyes lit up, and his attitude suddenly changed. He made a 180-degree turn and quickly bent down flatteringly.
"No way, no, wasn't this just a joke on my brother?"
There is no way, when it meets a rich second generation, its bones will instantly soften, and its servility will be stimulated again. This guy just needs training.
Lin Shan looked at it disdainfully and walked out of the hall with his sleeves fluttering.
"In three months, I want to see you fix everything for me!"
The Black Skull Demon King was still bowing behind him, showing as much respect as he wanted, perfectly explaining what it means that money can make "ghosts" grind.
"Don't worry, Master. With my level, three months is enough. However, the consumables required for repairs will probably be close to 200,000 spiritual stones..."
Lin Shan's distant voice came from outside the hall: "It's approved. Just go find Lu Xiuming and ask him to allocate it for you from the Xun Gu Sect's treasury."
