Immortal Road.

Chapter 229: Post-War Division
The mermaid girl, together with the water bear, led a group of tree fairies and flower fairies, who busied themselves around in the battlefield. After cleaning up the battlefield a little, they walked up to the clouds respectfully, holding a few storage bags.

A young man in white was sitting there with his eyes closed, resting.

"My Lord, this is the storage bag you requested."

When the mermaid girl actually saw Lin Shan take action this time, her mentality immediately straightened up, and her tone became a little restrained. It is normal to bow your head when you are under someone's roof.

Lin Shan opened his eyes, turned around, took a few storage bags, and nodded indifferently.

Just when I was about to send the mermaid girl back, I saw the water bear beside her and felt that it seemed a little familiar.

"Is this your new pet?"

If a monster is tamed, it can also be called a spiritual beast, but the definition is not very clear. For example, although the water bear in front of us is tamed, it always looks at people with a sidelong glance, which makes it look unruly and deserves a beating.

The mermaid girl quickly answered: "Yes, this bear demon was originally a member of my mermaid tribe. More than ten years ago, it suddenly came to the East China Sea and wanted to sign an equal contract with me, so it became my spirit beast partner."

The water bear next to him hung its head and grinned as if trying to apologize. It seemed to be quite intelligent, but it just glanced at people sideways, which made Lin Shan feel very uncomfortable. It reminded him of the last creature he summoned during the Foundation Establishment Period.

Could it be that all the water bears in the East China Sea are like this?
Seeing that Lin Shan seemed quite interested in the water bear, the mermaid girl hurriedly introduced him:

"Come to think of it, you met Xiong Da once before, back when you were in the Stormy Sea."

When Lin Shan heard this, he realized that this fellow called Xiong Da was indeed the water bear leader that he had first captured and contracted in the Stormy Sea!

Later, when they retreated from the East China Sea, in order to force the mermaid girl to sign a contract, they had to kick this guy away. Unexpectedly, it became the mermaid girl's follower in the blink of an eye!
"So, every time I use this summoning spell, it's equivalent to pulling two people over? Buy one, get one free?"

Lin Shan was speechless. Who could have expected that this guy would meet him again? From being his younger brother, he became his younger brother's younger brother.
However, he thought of another question at this time. Since this fool is called Xiong Da, there should be another Xiong Er, right?

The mermaid girl nodded seriously, telling him that his guess was correct.

"Their water bear clan does have a second bear, who is its long-lost brother. He returned to the clan a few years ago and has reached the peak of foundation building. Next time you summon him, I can bring him here for you to see."

The mermaid girl has earned a lot of spirit stones from the Lin Chamber of Commerce over the past decade, so she is very concerned about her financial sponsor. In addition, Lin Shan's grenade-like power just now made her completely obedient.

"Is there really a Xiong Er?"

Lin Shan was slightly surprised but then relieved. He glanced at the woods below and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"So, isn't Davinson the same as Baldy Wang? I didn't expect that Big Bear and Little Bear would be able to wait for Baldy Wang to die one day in the other world. This can be considered a wish come true."

After a casual chat, the mermaid girl took Xiong Da away, and Lin Shan used the summoning flag to send her back to the East China Sea. He was the only one left on the cloud again.

Only then did he carefully search through the storage bags to see if there was anything he wanted inside.

Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, he took out a jade box and a red, yellow and blue Ganoderma lucidum appeared in his hand.

This Ganoderma lucidum has three caps, all semicircular in shape. The caps are red, yellow and blue with some spots. The stem is shiny purple-brown, and circles of spiritual energy are spreading continuously. However, the jade box that contains it is clearly engraved with an inscription prohibiting it from leaking.

The reinforcement panel popped up:

【Three-color Ganoderma Lucidum】

Quality: Fourth-level elixir

Introduction: A special elixir created by heaven and earth, with a thousand-year age, it can be used to assist the Three Flowers in entering the Mysterious Gate, nourish the condensation and breakthrough of the Golden Elixir Avenue, increase the breakthrough probability by 30%, and has better effects when taken after the initial body forging.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

"Finally got it!"

Lin Shan was excited, but he still carefully put the elixir back into the jade box and put it away.

The main goal of this expedition against the Dai family, the giant of cultivation, has been achieved. Now he only lacks a prerequisite, which is the treasure of jade liquid for refining the body. As for the body-building method, it is dispensable and will not affect the success or failure of his pill-forming. Of course, it would be best if he has it.

"I have secretly succeeded in getting Davinson along the way, and I don't know who will get the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique and the Flowing Gold and Melting Stone Technique from the other two parties?"

Lin Shan did not stay for long. He checked the battlefield in the forest and found that all the broken bean soldiers, the bodies of the Dai family, the magic weapons, and traces of magic had been cleaned up. Then he nodded and turned to leave.

There is definitely no way to hide in such a large clearing in the forest, and the news of Davison being robbed by his enemies cannot be concealed from the pursuers of the Lujiang League. However, as long as the key clues are erased, I think they will not be able to trace him back.

……

On the sacred mountain of the Dai family, teams of people from various families were running around, moving the remaining properties of the Dai family.

You should know that even ordinary palace floor tiles are spiritual materials, the soil in the medicine garden is also spiritual soil, all the building materials in the medicine building have the effect of calming the mind, the building materials in the weapon refining workshop are all soundproof spiritual materials, and the building materials in the treasure house are all fireproof spiritual materials.
A group of bandits from the Lujiang League vowed to take away all the good things, not leaving a single hair behind.

Everyone from the Lin Chamber of Commerce was busy somewhere on the top of the mountain. This was the altar where the Dai family worshipped their ancestors. There were a lot of formation materials buried underground around it. The altar itself was also made of spiritual materials. After the Black Skull Demon Lord came back, he specifically asked them to look in this direction.

As for itself, no one knew where it went to search.

Master Zhankong originally wanted to chat with the Black Skull Demon Lord and ask him about his experience in formations, which was also the purpose of his following the Lin's Chamber of Commerce. However, seeing that the other party was not available for the time being, he had no choice but to continue waiting here with a shameless face.

Even though he is a guest of honor in front of other Jindan stage masters and a famous formation master in the Lujiang River basin, he is still not good enough in front of the Black Skull Demon Lord. After all, after this battle, everyone feels that Elder Hei Ku is infinitely close to the level of a formation master.

The Dai family's twenty-four-layer formation was interconnected and was destroyed in one fell swoop. This was simply not something that ordinary people could do.

Besides, he is a Jindan Zhenren himself, so it is normal for him to look down on him.

Master Zhan Kong understood this principle and did not mind swallowing his pride and waiting. Usually, those who wanted to get close to the master of formations were either guest elders of top-level strength or Nascent Soul stage masters themselves. They were simply not something that he, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, could approach.

Today he finally met one, and he wanted to talk to the Black Skull Demon Lord all night long.

Now he saw the people from the Lin's Chamber of Commerce busying around the altar. He could only stand there with his disciples and disciples. He was too embarrassed to compete with them for the spoils. But after looking for a while, he suddenly found...
It seems like someone is missing?

"Where is President Lin of your Chamber of Commerce?"

Master Zhan Kong looked around and found that there was no trace of Lin Shan. He felt a little strange. They were together when they were chasing Davison at the foot of the mountain, so why did he disappear after they returned to the mountain?

Mu Yan and Wu Hanqiao stopped what they were doing, turned their heads and looked at each other, they smiled in unison:
"Master, the president is very busy. I think something happened in the Wangyue City Chamber of Commerce, so he went back to deal with it in advance. Don't worry about it, Master!"

Although Master Zhankong still had doubts in his heart, the fact that Lin Shan was not around was exactly what he wanted.

Because ever since the incident in the Sutra Library on the mountainside when he accidentally revealed his secret incense technique, Lin Shan had been looking at him a little strangely, as if there was a flash of hidden possessiveness, which was accurately captured by the experienced Master Zhan Kong. He couldn't help but wonder if President Lin had any special hobbies?

Or do you have any thoughts on the magical powers of incense?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Wu Hanqiao. This kid is well-read and a real talent. He can even recognize incense and magic spells. How great it would be if he could be used by me?

……

As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars. Fires were still flashing all over Daijia Lingshan Mountain, and the various forces of Lujiang League were still digging deep in the ground, holding fires in the dark and continuing to plunder.

Inside the main hall on the mountain, the lights were on, and the leaders of the seventy-two forces gathered together, making as much noise as in a vegetable market.

"The four great families in Wangyue City have already been allocated four sacred mountains and blessed lands. The spiritual stone mine should belong to my Yang family!"

"The five medicine gardens should be divided among our four sects. You five great families should not participate."

"You four sects can't take up five medicine gardens. How about giving one to my Lin's Chamber of Commerce?"

"Elder Hei Ku, don't be too greedy. You already have a sacred mountain promised by the leader, so don't get involved in other things."

"I want to have a piece of the pie of the business license for the Ludong Secret Realm!"

"Impossible! The mining rights of Jinchan Lake and the Ludong Secret Realm are all spoils of war of my Yang family. At most, I can give you a few places for training at Yunchuan Academy!"

"I don't care. My Lingyun Sect still needs three refined copper mines and five refined iron mines!"

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

……

The ten major forces were arguing fiercely. Originally, the real estate had been clearly divided in advance: the Yang family got 35%, the four great families in Wangyue City got 30%, the remaining four sects and the Lin Chamber of Commerce got 25%, and the last 10% was given to smaller forces. However, plans could not keep up with changes.

First, the ancestor of the Yang family promised one of his sacred mountains to the Black Skull Demon Lord, and then the Yang family had to make up for it from other places.

Secondly, the Yang family lost two Jindan-stage masters, so they needed more resources as compensation.

Other forces could not sit idly by and watch their own interests being compressed, so they brought up the incident of the Yang family's ancestor stealing the "Gold and Stone Technique" inheritance jade slip in an attempt to bargain.

Yang family's Jindan Zhenren argued with reason and brought up the incident in which the Yang family's ancestor was hit by the starry aurora for everyone and was seriously injured.

Anyway, the husband says he is right and the wife says she is right. After all the talk, it's just a confusing matter.

In the end, the ten major forces united to face the outside world and swallowed up the shares of the other sixty-two small forces, leaving nothing behind. This was how the differences were finally resolved.

The leaders of the sixty-two small forces below were all confused.

Didn't we swear an oath of blood? You guys are so unrefined when eating! You didn't even leave us a mouthful of soup?

The ten major forces said that they were really powerless and that you guys just have to collect some tree bark and grass roots on this mountain and deal with it on yourselves.

Sixty-two small forces protested one after another. We provided so many cannon fodder to the alliance, thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, and so many people were accidentally killed by friendly forces while chasing Davison. Are we just going to let it go?
The ten Jindan Zhenren were confused as to what was going on and had no idea when the accidental injury occurred.

The group of people below recounted their tyranny, chopping off all of their own yellow-haired monks, headdressed monks, armored warriors, swordsmen, and others, and how cruel they were to attack their allies!

The people behind the ten major forces turned their faces away in embarrassment. They were on the way to hunt down Davison. This was really a helpless move, and they had no other choice!
This time, he didn't catch Davison, nor did he get the tri-colored Ganoderma lucidum, but instead got into trouble.

The ten Jindan Zhenren scolded their own people harshly, and hurriedly comforted the leaders of various forces, apologizing sincerely and heartfeltly. As for the issue of dividing the profits of the real estate, they did not mention a word.

The arms were no match for the thighs, so everyone had to grit their teeth and swallow their anger.

During the discussion, Lin Shan rushed back from the outside world overnight, walked into the hall without saying a word, ignored the noise in the hall, and sat down in the seat behind the Black Skull Demon Lord.

The two looked at each other and communicated with each other through voice transmission.

"I succeeded here, how about yours?"

"The Small Magical Jade Slip was snatched away by the Yang Family's ancestor, and the Nine Transformations Golden Body Technique is also missing. I personally chased him north for hundreds of miles, but was unable to find Dai Zonghui, the patriarch of the Dai Family. I think he has slipped away."

"It doesn't matter. We can slowly track him down later. The most urgent task is the post-war distribution."

"know."

……

Master Zhan Kong, who was standing nearby, saw Lin Shan coming back and quickly came over to try to get close to him:
"Didn't President Lin go back to the Moon City Chamber of Commerce to take care of important matters? This is..."

Lin Shan turned around and found that the old man Master Zhankong was sticking to him again. He was slightly moved. He did not forget that this old guy knew the secret art of incense and might have some residual incense power in his hands.

He immediately responded positively: "Haha, that's right, but I was still worried about this place halfway through the journey, so I turned back temporarily. It feels so kind to see you again, Master!"

Master Zhankong's face was stiff, and he forced a smile. Seeing that someone had started a conversation with him, he immediately abandoned Lin Shan and started chatting with the Black Skull Demon Lord:

"Elder Hei Ku, I don't know when you are free. I would like to learn the art of formation from you."

The Black Skull Demon Lord was busy arguing with other Jindan stage elders and had no time to pay attention to him, so he could only respond vaguely:

"Well, we'll talk about it later when we have time."

The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City looked over here, and they were all angry. It was obvious that Master Zhankong was invited by them, so why did he go to the Lin’s Chamber of Commerce?

This old guy, don’t you want the reward?

Master Zhan Kong was not worried about the remuneration at all. He believed that the four great families would not default on their payments, otherwise their credibility would be lost in the future, and they would no longer be able to ask outsiders for help. Everyone understood this truth.

After arguing until dawn, all the issues were finally settled and everyone left.

In this expedition against the Dai family, the Lin Chamber of Commerce was given a sacred mountain, so the others were forced to make appropriate concessions. They only obtained a refined iron mine, a refined copper mine, and two weapon refining pavilions, which were opened in other immortal cities in Lu State.

There are still more than a dozen training places at Yunchuan Academy, which is better than nothing.

As for the sacred mountain, it was where the Dai family's Jindan Zhenren had promised it when the Black Skull Demon Lord broke through the formation. The Tianfu Mountain, 3,000 miles north of this place, was now divided among the Lin's Chamber of Commerce after discussions among the Lujiang Alliance and decided by the Yang family's Zhenren.

"Tianfu Mountain!"

Lin Shan and his gang were overjoyed. They finally had a place of their own! They finally had a firm foothold in the cultivation world of Lu State!

The establishment of a new school is just around the corner!

He immediately set off impatiently and flew all the way north.
