Immortal Road.

Chapter 129 Imminent
For the entire night, Lin Shan used different methods to try to seduce the "eating worm" hiding in the acupoint of his entrance.

But this fat white insect was obviously just as Master Gui had said before. Apart from the white mist he made himself, nothing could arouse its interest. It was a very rare poisonous insect in the world of cultivation.

Lin Shan tried all the items and methods he had, and even used summoning magic to capture all the creatures in the nearby sea. However, the orifice-eating worm was still sleeping soundly deep in his dantian, motionless, without any appetite at all.

“Is there no solution to this?”

He cursed Master Turtle's ancestors eighteen times in annoyance, but finally had to admit that the bug was hiding in the mysterious orifice of the next realm and he could do nothing about it.

If he wanted to pull it out, he had to break through the bottleneck of the initial stage of foundation building, but the problem was that he had just entered the initial stage of foundation building and did not have the ability to force his way through.

The most annoying thing is that this insect needs to eat once a day.

That is to say, he had to report to Master Gui every day and receive his share of white mist for the next day. If he was a step slower, the orifice-eating insects would cut him off.

After struggling for a long time until dawn, Lin Shan flew out of the island with a helpless and gloomy face and started a new round of "patrol".

……

The three sects of the Demonic Path have recently deployed tight defenses in the surrounding sea areas. Apparently, after severely injuring Master Gui a few days ago, they realized that he could not go far and needed to recuperate nearby, so they frequently launched large-scale raids.

While patrolling the Ezo Sea, Lin Shan encountered several waves of foreign troops, led by true disciples of the Blood River Palace and the Hundred Ghosts Sect. They were obviously looking for the whereabouts of Master Turtle, intending to eliminate the threat once and for all.

With a nervous mood, he thought that there were two serious criminals hiding in his cave. If they were found by this group of evil disciples, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

What? You didn't go along with it? Why didn't you report it?

Are you sure you can cure the poisonous insect in my body after I reveal it? Lin Shan expressed his doubt.

Although there are many masters from the three sects of the magic path, and even a high-ranking old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, the problem is that according to Master Gui, the food-eating worm in his body needs to eat once a day. Can he wait until then?

If I really have to wait for the Yuanying stage to come and save me, it will be too late!

What's more, her immediate backer is Yan Yuanchun, who is just a local Jindan-stage guardian. She herself does not even have a Yuanying-stage backer, so where can she find such a big shot to help her exorcise the poison?

After exchanging intelligence with several teams of "allies" passing by throughout the day, he finally returned to his own territory "empty-handed".

As soon as he returned to Ezo Island, Lin Shan hurried to his former cave.

For no other reason, the food-eating worm deep in his dantian had just woken up and was sniffing around in his mysterious orifice, as if choosing a suitable place to start.

Lin Shan was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, fearing that he would be doomed to die with Master Gui if it was any later.

Fortunately, Master Gui and his disciple were very punctual and obviously did not want to fight to the death. The young man in the middle stage of foundation building had been waiting at the entrance of the cave for a long time.

"Why did you come just now? Don't you want the antidote?"

Lin Shan took the small bottle and calmed his heartbeat. After he felt relieved, he looked into the cave, but found that Master Gui had not appeared, and only his apprentice came to greet him.

"Where is Master Turtle? I want to ask him a few more questions."

"Master is practicing. I will pass on the antidote to you from now on. Go and cool down!"

The young man who had established his foundation sneered, thinking that the guy in front of him was possessed by the spirit of drama last night and dared to play tricks on his master without even knowing his own weight. He was really showing off his skills in front of an expert!
However, not knowing the truth, he naturally believed that even if the master did not play tricks, it would be easy to subdue Lin Shan, and the final outcome would not change.

As for why he wanted to perform this play, maybe it was because he was in a good mood?
Since Lin Shan couldn't see Master Gui, he naturally wouldn't chat too much with the young foundation-building man with a sour face. He said goodbye in a hurry and returned to the new cave.

"How badly did Master Gui suffer his injuries?"

"Will I be useless after he recovers? What will I do if he leaves and there is no antidote?"

"If he doesn't hold on and dies, who will make an antidote for me?"

"If the three demon sects raid his house while he is recovering from his injuries, I will be directly regarded as an accomplice and will still be doomed!"

……

Lin Shan thought about it and inhaled the white mist into his body with a heavy heart.

The orifice-eating worm that was about to gnaw randomly was finally calmed down again, and began to sleep soundly again. As for the bottle containing the white mist, it seemed to carry the breath of the foundation-building young man. Lin Shan thought about it and put it away.

Just like that, in the next few days, Lin Shan pretended to patrol as usual during the day, and tried every means to lure the orifice-eating insects out at night.

He also tried using white mist as bait, but that loophole apparently didn't exist.

If the white mist was not sucked into the Dantian, the orifice-eating insects would not be able to sense it at all and would only gnaw at his Xuanqiao out of hunger. If it was sent into the Dantian, it would be sucked directly into the Xuanqiao.

In short, he just wouldn't come out no matter what.

As Lin Shan became increasingly nervous day by day, he finally received a message from the church: the joint law enforcement detective team had conducted a comprehensive dragnet search of the nearby waters and would arrive at the Ezo Sea soon.

In other words, his territory had previously only been led by Foundation Establishment disciples, but now it was the turn of the Golden Core Stage guardians to come and conduct a sweeping search.

Now Lin Shan can no longer sit still!
As analyzed before, no matter whether Master Gui’s injuries have healed or not, or whether he has been discovered or not, his final fate will be a disaster.

Now that more than a dozen Jindan-stage guardians from the joint law enforcement detective team are about to arrive, even if Master Gui has extraordinary abilities, he will definitely not be able to hide here any longer. This also means that he will be forced to take a dead end!
If the problem of the orifice-eating worms cannot be solved tonight, in order to survive and not be labeled an accomplice, I will have to take the risk and expose the secret.

There is no way to get the antidote. It is better to lose the future of cultivating immortals than to be regarded as a traitor within the evil sect and lose your life directly.

After hurriedly returning to Ezo Island, Lin Shan received today's antidote from the foundation-building young man. He asked him some vague questions about Master Gui's injuries, but he was evaded one by one.

Not getting any information, he had to leave again. As for the news that the Demon Dao Golden Core Stage was about to arrive, he did not tell the master and disciple. In case they alerted the enemy, it would be better to keep it until tomorrow to report it.

Lin Shan also realized that if he wanted to escape from danger, he might only have one chance tonight.

After being clueless for several days and facing the stubborn resistance of the orifice-eating worms, Lin Shan, who was desperate, began to ask his younger brothers for advice.

……

In the evening, hundreds of cultivators sat together near the fishing village of Ezo Island. Lin Shan, who was in the middle of the group, asked each of them one by one if anyone had any elixirs or spiritual objects related to spiritual insects and poisons.

Although he also knew that the orifice-eating worms were the unique means of Turtle Zhenren in the late Jindan stage, the chance of being accidentally unlocked by this group of Qi training stage East China Sea cultivators was basically zero.

But he was soon forced into a desperate situation and had to try every possible means to save himself.

"I have some insect repellent pills here."

"I have mayfly cream that coral polyps love to eat."

"I have rosemary, which Caiyingdie likes to smell."

"I have the turtle saliva that the winged bat moth hates."

……

All sorts of items were taken out one after another. These younger brothers thought they could help the boss in some way, so they were naturally extremely fawning, hoping to show their faces and be appreciated.

Lin Shan accepts everything, and doesn't care about the taste or texture! With the enhanced panel identification as a backup, he is not afraid of being poisoned to death. Anyway, he will try his best.

After all the hassle, everyone present was dejected, as it was obvious that they did not get the answers they wanted.

Lin Shan sat in front of the fire in a daze. Was his only option to tell the secret tomorrow? He bet that if Master Turtle was captured by the three sects of the devil as soon as possible, they could find the antidote formula?

What to do if I can’t get the antidote formula.

What else can I do, serve it cold!

……

At this time, his number one confidant, the "missionary master" Old Man Zhong, who was sitting next to him, had a gleam in his eyes and glanced thoughtfully at the position of Lin Shan's dantian.

"I have a blood evil Gu here, which has the effect of making other Gu insects evolve. You may want to give it a try, sir."
