In the evening, the sky was getting dark and it started to rain lightly.
Dots of broken beads splashed in the lotus pond.
Everyone chatted all afternoon, but there were still unfinished thoughts.
Young Master Jiuyou talked the most with Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, because these two were both immortal geniuses and opponents worthy of his respect.
As for the others, in the eyes of Young Master Jiuyou, the "Second Generation of Demons", they are not qualified at all. After all, he also has big people investing behind him, and his vision is not at the same level at all.
During this period, he had mentioned implicitly many times that he was willing to form a team with Lin Shan to go to the Swallowing Star Mountains.
But he was pushed away by Yang family ancestors and others.
The three ancestors of the Yang family obviously felt that Lin Shan, the immortal genius, was more worthy of dating. The black-robed young man Wu Yazi was of unknown origin and was placed in the team for fear of causing trouble.
In addition, the team of four of them is already a bit saturated. They are afraid that they will not have enough points to meet the treasure by then. How can they bring others with them?
Young Master Jiuyou didn't force it. When he found out that he was not welcome, he stopped immediately, for fear of being discovered by Lin Shan.
Then he hooked up with Zhong Shenxiu from Bailu Academy.
The two met and hit it off immediately, and it didn't take long for them to reach an agreement and decide to form a team together.
This made the older generation in the field very worried, and some Jindan masters also began to look for a team with friendship, fearing that they would be defeated by each other, and they would not even be able to get a drink of soup.
Lin Shan also felt solemn. Young Master Jiuyou and Zhong Shenxiu were mixed together. The combination of "Second Generation Demon" and "Second Generation Immortal" was really a big threat.
But fortunately, I still have three brothers beside me, and they are still the strongest in the game.
Fairy Yueshang frowned slightly. She didn't understand why Zhong Shenxiu didn't go alone, but instead went with an unknown cultivator. Didn't he know that the matter was a secret ordered by his elders?
Forget it, it would be better if he screws up, and then all the benefits will belong to me, Jingyang Academy.
Immortal genius?
tuberculosis?
If you can deceive others, can you also deceive me?
Fairy Yueshang no longer lingered here, turned around, held up a flower umbrella, walked out of the garden, and left first.
The rest of the people also knew that they understood it almost, and dispersed one after another to prepare for the next step.
Lin Shan and the ancestors of the Yang family used their auras to protect their bodies, and the rain hitting the light barrier formed a line with a "plop-pap-pap" sound. They said goodbye to the great elder of the Zhenyue Sect and the master of the Xuchan Cave, and left together.
He could be heard from time to time on the road, and the content of the conversation was inseparable from himself. When he saw him passing by, the monks also put on smiles, which made him very uncomfortable.
…
Returning to the attic of the Yang family, a family of cultivators, in Jiangning City, they ignored the noise in the hall.
The two went up the stairs to the guest room.
Closed the door.
Every room here is soundproofed, so you don't have to worry about being overheard from outside.
The ancestors of the Yang family and Lin Shan sat down separately, made a pot of tea and started chatting about their own affairs.
"Master Lin, please tell me whether the death of the Jindan Master of the Dai family in Wangyue City was really your fault?"
The ancestor of the Yang family looked solemn, as if he needed to confirm again.
Looking at his expression, Lin Shan seemed to have guessed something.
"That's right, but Elder Heikku is a master of formations. He used the power of Juesha Tiankeng to set up the phantom killing formation. We each contributed about half of it. Many of the coincidences are stacked together, which is a fluke in itself."
After hearing the affirmative answer, the ancestor of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
"It doesn't matter. Since you were able to defeat the golden elixir at that time, you are a well-deserved genius of the immortal world. There is no need to force or force. What's more, the protector of the Nine Nether Sect died cleanly in your hands, which is enough to prove your strength. So I'm going on this trip.
It can be said that I have some confidence in my heart."
"Oh? Listen to the alliance leader..."
Lin Shan saw something in his words and looked thoughtful.
"This time you and I, together with the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave, are traveling together. It seems that the lineup is strong, and we have also made a unanimous agreement with the outside world. But where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes..."
The ancestor of the Yang family had wrinkles on his face as he patiently pondered.
"Though those two old friends had a close friendship with me back then, hundreds of years have passed and I have been leading the Yang family and the Dai family in the Lujiang River Basin to fight openly and secretly. There is no more interaction between them in northern Shandong and eastern Shandong except for correspondence.
But the two of them often walked around together, and their relationship with each other became stronger and closer over time."
"Coupled with a series of changes later, two former friends of the Dai family died in my hands, causing the remaining two to be wary and prejudiced against me in their hearts. Although they seemed calm on the surface, I could feel the indifference.
The alienation of Dan, I think I will never be able to go back to the past..."
The ancestor of the Yang family lamented the impermanence of the world, and was obviously helpless at the look of anger in the eyes of the good brothers in the past when they were talking to each other.
Lin Shan also noticed something in the lotus pond during the day. The great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave obviously had a closer relationship. The ancestor of the Yang family sometimes wandered on the edge, lacking a tacit understanding that had been developed over the years.
Even when five people from Yunchuan Academy became sworn brothers, the ancestor of the Yang family killed two brothers in a row. This is human nature for anyone to be on guard against.
Regardless of whether you have a feud or a rivalry between families, the black history of brother murder cannot be erased.
"So, I just opened the skylight and spoke frankly. The four of us will join forces at the introduction. In private, the two of us are still a team."
Lin Shan immediately understood what the ancestor of the Yang family meant, which was equivalent to dividing the team into separate factions.
Two against two.
He and the ancestors of the Yang family faced off against the great elder of Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave.
On the surface, they maintain a reluctant balance of numbers so that they can report to the outside world in unison when encountering an accident. If they discover or obtain any natural treasures, then the two of them will help each other and fight for each other's interests.
The ancestor of the Yang family naturally had his own considerations in doing this.
First of all, the other two old friends formed a circle of their own and were naturally defensive about him. He could only join forces with Lin Shan to start a new business as a bargaining chip to fight against each other.
Furthermore, Linshan’s Xun Gu Sect and their Yang family are both part of the Lujiang Alliance, a geopolitical alliance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This kind of alliance is actually more reliable than the so-called old brotherhood.
In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Lin Shan is a member of the Lujiang League, and the ancestor of the Yang family is the leader of the Lujiang League. The two naturally have interests bound together.
What's more, Lin Shan's identity as the Immortal Prodigy has now been revealed. If he is no longer around in the future, if the Lujiang League wants to maintain its current base and even become bigger and stronger, perhaps this burden will have to be handed over to this young man.
In the eyes of the ancestor of the Yang family, since he can destroy the Dai family and kill two old brothers for the sake of the family, he can also win over geniuses and stalemate with the other two old brothers for the Yang family. This is a normal choice for him.
.
His original idea was to bring Elder Heiku from Tianfu Mountain over. There would be a formation master in the team, who would be able to balance the power of those two people.
Later, when he brought Lin Shan here, he was already prepared to fight alone and did not expect Lin Shan to be of any help. After all, it was impossible for a warrior to go deep into the forbidden area and whether he could save his life.
After witnessing Lin Shan's hidden achievements today, the ancestors of the Yang family were overjoyed. Now they can take out the preparations they had made before, which also gives each other an extra layer of protection. In the future, they can not only take care of each other secretly on the road, but also when encountering danger or sharing treasures.
, I won’t be too passive.
Lin Shan nodded, the Yang family ancestor's actions were exactly what he wanted.
Because who knows if I go looking for reed jade stalactites this time, I will be targeted by Young Master Jiuyou...
He also needs allies to rely on to deal with the threat posed by Young Master Jiuyou. The more people, the better, and that guy will not dare to attack him.
Of course, you can't completely leave your back to others. It's right to keep an eye on everything.
And not only must he be careful not to lose the Star Gate device, he must also rely on this sense in the future. He may be able to follow the clues and secretly follow Young Master Jiuyou into True Lord Jade Star's secret...
Lin Shan was naturally jealous of True Lord Jade Star's inheritance, but he didn't know much about it. He only had a general understanding of it after hearing a brief description from his subordinate Li Yuanjie.
Finally there is a clue here, so naturally I hold on to it tightly and cannot let go.
After the ancestor of the Yang family settled a matter of concern, he left with satisfaction.
However, Lin Shan could feel that the overlord of the Lujiang League seemed to have some unspeakable secrets and worries about the future during his trip, which cast a layer of gloom in his heart.
…
In the blink of an eye, time passed quietly.
At the end of June and the beginning of July, the stars are surging.
Beyond the sky, beyond the endless world, a star palace stands in the eternal void, with clusters of nebulae supporting the palace. It is magnificent and illuminates the universe.
"Winter~~~"
"Winter~~~"
"Winter~~~"
The melodious bells spread throughout the sea of ​​​​stars, and countless stars and sand began to rise and fall following the sound like waves.
In the huge star palace, on the white jade stone steps in front of the main hall.
A thin child opened the door. It looked like he was just a small star servant in the Star Palace. He had a gauze cap on his head and a whisk in his arm.
"The time has come, the star orbits have adjusted, and the sub-stars have fallen."
"start!"
With the cry of the star boy.
In the nebula, there is a cloud of steaming clouds, and the mist changes its orbit.
A bright comet rushed out, carrying blue star flames, leaving a parabola-like trace along the way, streaking out of the void and flying into the inexplicable depths.
At the same time, countless people were in the lower realm.
Countless creatures looked up at the stars and saw a meteor streaking across the sky, setting up a rainbow bridge in the night sky.
Jiangning City at night.
Lin Shan stood on the roof, looking at the stream of light that appeared due to the south and fell to the west with blazing flames. The ancestor of the Yang family next to him explained to him.
"Mingtang Star, one of the twenty-eight main stars in the sky, will release its sub-stars to fall to the mortal world at the end of June every year."
"After it fell, July had already arrived, so it was called the July Flowing Fire."
"That sub-star may be real or imaginary. It may turn into a meteorite from the sky. It may be picked up and used to refine magic weapons. It may also turn into a star soul and be reincarnated. A child may be born in a house of great luck and bring his or her astral body with him since childhood.
Xing Gen, from now on, the speed of cultivation will be thousands of miles..."
"The stars come into the world and are carried by heaven. Their majesty is so brilliant that God's will is unpredictable."
…
Listening to the ancestor of the Yang family shaking his head, Lin Shan's heart was shaken, and he asked.
"Then after this star falls, since it brings such a huge opportunity, wouldn't the frequency of once a year be too high? Wouldn't the world of cultivation become chaotic in order to seize the treasure?"
The ancestor of the Yang family shook his head and told him not to think too much.
"The July Flowing Fire is a spectacle that can be seen in all the heavens and all realms, but if that sub-star really wants to fall to the lower realm, it will inevitably burn a massive amount of star power as a consumption to break the barrier."
"When it actually reaches the lower realm, the excess burned stars will be divided into several to dozens of parts and scattered into different worlds, bringing different opportunities."
"But you have to know that the heavens say there are ten thousand worlds, but no one knows how many real worlds there are. The probability that this opportunity will fall into our world is really low!"
"According to ancient records, the last time a meteorite fell on us was thirty thousand years ago..."
Lin Shan was speechless for a while. When he talked about transporting items downward through the boundary wall, he remembered that the fairy book elder had sent him the soul source across the boundary. The super-large stone slab of ten feet in size was only the size of a washbasin in his hands when it reached the lower boundary.
.
Thinking about it, the spectacle of flowing fire in July must have consumed a lot of star power, right?
Could it be that star that has accumulated star power for a whole year?
…
On the other side of Jiangning City, in a small courtyard.
Young Master Jiuyou was also sitting in the courtyard, looking up at the trajectory of the meteors in the sky.
Beside him, an illusory figure watched with him.
This person is a straight-faced middle-aged man, wearing a high crown and court clothes, holding a wat tablet in his hand. The projection of "Youying Xingjun" is also here.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
"Mingtang Xingsu, one of the twenty-eight constellations, is under the command of Emperor Qinghua at the eastern end of the fairy world. It is led by two major star monarchs, Youxinsu and Jizu, and dozens of smaller star monarchs are attached to it."
"The July Flowing Fire once held a ceremony for the Lord of Antares. Originally, the share of the star power was fixed every year. It could just complete the consumption of traveling through the lower realm, and there was still a little leftover, which would bring great opportunities to some children who were destined to have good luck in the lower realm.
"
"But now the person has changed, and he has become the ruler of Jizu Star. He took advantage of the disappearance of the East Pole Qinghua Emperor to arbitrarily deprive the star power, and the July Flowing Fire has become a fake. After traveling to the lower realm, it is estimated that
It has long since turned into ashes.”
"It's a shame, it's obviously a good thing that benefits all the heavens, but it has become a project for heavenly officials to get kickbacks, alas~~~"
…
Lord Youyingxing was sighing at the side, telling unknown stories about the heaven in the upper world.
Young Master Jiuyou listened with great interest. He liked chatting with Elder Xingjun the most. His casual remarks were full of great information, and he benefited a lot every time.
However, in the past, because of the support of Jiuyou Sect, the cost of maintaining Xingjun's projection was supplied by the sect, so it was not a problem.
But after so many years, the Jiuyou Sect has long been destroyed, and the Jiuyou Young Master has also been in exile for a long time. The star power reserves he brought with him after fleeing from the sect have long been stretched thin.
Therefore, he cannot summon Star Lord's projection at will. He can only invite him out occasionally depending on the situation, because he really cannot afford it.
Summoning it once consumes too much star power!
That's why I tried every possible means to find out, hoping to seize True Lord Jade Star's secret treasure and obtain the accumulation of star power pool in it, so as to consume it in order to summon Star Lord's projection in the future.
If he just sits there and eats nothing, his star power will be exhausted sooner or later, so he has to go on the road of constantly searching for star power.
This is why he is obsessed with taking back the Youxing Gate Device that is on Lin Shan. It is not only a spiritual treasure accessory, but also an important part of the secret secret of True Lord Jade Star in the future. There must be no room for loss!
With the appearance of the July Flowing Fire spectacle, rainbow lights also rose in Jiangning City.
Those are the real people of the Golden Core stage who are preparing to go to the cliff forbidden area for a fight. The mother of earth's magnetism has been disturbed. It is expected that the Aurora Sea should be greatly weakened and is at the least active moment of the year.
This is their chance to start!
“Have a break, have a rest, have a rest~~~”
Colorful rainbows appeared in the night sky, flew towards the Swallowing Star Mountains one by one, and disappeared into the darkness.
