Immortal Road.

Chapter 234 Communication with Immortal Devices

In the secret training room, the Black Skull Demon Lord explained to Lin Shan the principles of practicing the Soul Pill Avenue and gave him two classic books.

One is called "Visualization of White Bones" and the other is called "Huangzhu Heshen Method".

There was no need for its introduction, as Lin Shan's enhancement panel had already popped up:
【Bone Visualization Picture】 (Incomplete)

Quality: Nascent Soul Secret Technique
Introduction: The Skeleton Clan's innate inheritance, the soul-forging secret technique, can assist in forging, tempering, and solidifying the soul.

Side effects: Over time, slight hallucinations will occur, and phantoms of bones will often appear in the brain. When the soul is in calamity, there is a chance that the body will be possessed by the Lord of Bones. When the immortal is in calamity, there is a possibility that the ghost fairy of bones will invade.

Enhancement required: 128 points

……

【Huangzhu Heshen Fa】

Quality: Soul Pill Stage (Golden Pill Stage) Technique

Introduction: The human soul pill cultivation method in the Bamboo Soul World can be cultivated to the perfection of the soul pill stage.

Side effects: Consumes the essence of the physical body to cultivate the soul, resulting in pale complexion, sunken eye sockets, and extreme emaciation.

Enhancement required: 64 points

……

Lin Shan looked confused. What the hell was going on?

The former is a soul-forging secret technique, which requires visualizing a skeleton in the mind at all times to train the spirit and soul and enhance soul power. It is understandable that the skeleton clan inherits the secret technique, and some fantasy sequelae can be tolerated.

But later on, he was possessed by the White Bone Lord and invaded by the White Bone Ghost Fairy???
What are you doing!!!
As for the following cultivation method for the Soul Pill Stage, after practicing it, one must use the essence of the physical body to constantly nourish the soul and make one's appearance look like someone with kidney deficiency.

Wouldn’t that make him a “Mr. Kidney Deficiency”?

The Black Skull Demon Lord didn't know that Lin Shan had an enhanced panel, and he was still talking to him in the secret room:

"This 'White Bone Visualization Diagram' is a secret of my Skeleton Clan. When this Demon Lord broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage, the soul forging part of the Foundation Establishment Stage automatically emerged in his memory. When it came to the Soul Pill Stage, the Soul Pill Stage part automatically emerged. Later, the Nascent Soul Stage part was unlocked in the Nascent Soul Stage."

"Of course, we also call it the Soul Infant Stage, but it's pretty much the same. Now, brother, you can just pick up my ready-made Nascent Soul Stage secret technique, and your soul-forging speed will definitely be much faster than mine back then."

"And this book, 'Yellow Bamboo God Combination Method', was the reward I received from a summoner when I traveled to the Bamboo Soul World. That world is full of wandering souls, and the Soul Pill Avenue is prevalent. Humans are not the protagonists of the world, but just a vassal group, so it is normal to have some flaws."

"You can't practice the Soul Pill Stage technique of my Skeleton Clan, so I specially picked out a Soul Pill Stage technique of the Human Clan and recorded it word for word in a jade slip for you. How about it, brother? Isn't that good enough?"

"You should give me a gift of a congenital treasure as a thank you, right?"

……

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord shook his head and repeatedly emphasized how difficult it was for him to rise step by step in the past, and then he obtained the Nascent Soul-level secret technique of "The White Bone Visualization Diagram" inherited by his race. He also elaborated on the preciousness of this secret technique in many ways, boasting about himself like a rich woman selling melons.

There was also a person who had narrowly escaped death and descended to the Bamboo Soul World, but was obstructed by all kinds of wandering souls and evil spirits there. He tried every possible means to obtain this "Huangzhu Heshen Fa", and his sad experience was truly epic.

But Lin Shan was not so easy to fool, and he directly exposed it with a stern face:
"What about the calamity of the soul and the Lord of Bones?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was still talking, but when he heard this, he immediately answered him:
“After reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, in order to reach a higher level, one’s spirit and soul will transform and evolve into the Primordial Spirit. At that time, the mind will travel to the outer world and forget about the self and the world, thus there will be the Tribulation of the Primordial Spirit.”

"Any member of my Skeleton Clan who has transformed his soul can be given the title of White Bone Lord. Lord represents a cultivator with great supernatural powers, and is distinguished from the True Lord, Demon Lord, and Ghost Lord of the Nascent Soul stage."

"So, uh. No."

The Black Skull Demon Lord suddenly reacted, looking somewhat doubtful and doubtful, and seemed to be feeling guilty. He asked Lin Shan cautiously:
"Brother, you are only in the foundation-building stage, why are you asking this?"

Lin Shan sneered: "Then does your "White Bone Visualization Picture" have any side effects?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord hesitated: "Didn't I tell you that I might have some fantasy sequelae about you humans, it's just a minor problem."

"anything else?"

Lin Shan stared at it intently.

"Uh that"

The soul fire of the Black Skull Demon Lord was erratic and dodgy.

"Well, if a White Bone Lord in my clan has nothing better to do, maybe he would take over the body of a younger generation just for fun when he is going through the tribulation of the soul?"

"anything else?"

Lin Shan refused to give in and gritted his teeth.

"Well, according to legend, the Great White Bone Immortal of my clan might also attack one of his descendants for fun when he is about to pass the tribulation and become an immortal?"

The Black Skull Lord sounded uncertain.

Lin Shan was furious and slammed the table and stood up:

"Are you just playing around and having fun? You're killing me!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was startled and quickly urged him to calm down:

"Brother, you worry too much. Who can accurately calculate probability? My Skeleton Clan is spread across all the worlds, and there are many Skeleton Lords who have cultivated to the level of Primordial Spirit. How could there be just one... Uh."

It realized that it had said something wrong, and quickly changed the subject:

"Hehe, this is not important. My Skeleton Clan is indeed huge, and there are some who have become Bone Immortals. It is impossible that there is one who became an immortal at the same time as you did. Uh."

Lin Shan's face became increasingly darker.

The Black Skull Demon Lord quickly changed the subject:

"This is not important. Take a look at this "Yellow Bamboo Divine Combination Method". This is an authentic human soul pill stage cultivation method. It should not have the hidden dangers of Lord White Bone, right?"

Lin Shan felt a little toothache:

"After you finish practicing this technique, I still have to use my physical essence to feed my spirit every day. My appearance has directly turned into that of a man with kidney deficiency. Do you still dare to say that there are no hidden dangers?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord touched the back of his head awkwardly:

"Brother, the skin is just an external appearance. Since you are determined to achieve immortality, why bother with the appearance? You are just obsessed with appearance."

Lin Shan sneered. Being handsome is a lifelong thing. How could his appearance be ruined by a mere Soul Pill Stage technique?
If it's a true immortal technique, I might consider it. ...

After the two argued for a while, Lin Shan realized that the Black Skull Demon Lord was not trying to trick him on purpose, but the soul-forging secret techniques in this fellow's hands were all versions from the Hell World, which had all kinds of flaws and could not be avoided at all.

"The Visualization Diagram of White Bones" is already the best Nascent Soul secret technique in its hands. What's more, this secret technique can only be trained to the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. As for the secret techniques above the Nascent Soul, and even the part about becoming an immortal, it will have to wait until its body breaks through, and the memory inheritance of the Skeleton Clan will awaken.

Therefore, there is no need to consider the threats from "White Bone Lord" and "White Bone Ghost Immortal" for the time being.

As for the "Yellow Bamboo Heshen Method", it is also the only Soul Pill Stage cultivation method for the human race. The human race in the Bamboo Soul World are all "Young Masters with Kidney Deficiency". Refining the soul is better than training the body. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Fortunately, the Black Skull Demon Lord proposed another solution to him, which can effectively make up for this shortcoming.

That is to learn another method of body building.

His current "pseudo-stellar body" can be considered as having practiced a body-building technique. If he practices another one, he should be able to barely support the consumption of soul pills after the soul pill stage.

"So, you don't have any body-building techniques?"

"We of the Skeleton Clan refine our souls through our bone marrow, and our soul fire automatically burns and feeds back to our skeletons. This is not the same as the body-building method used by you humans."

The Black Skull Demon Lord said that he had never collected this thing.

Lin Shan frowned, then relaxed:
"It's okay. When I reach the Soul Pill Stage, I will find a body-building technique to make up for it. I think it won't be too late."

The Black Skull Demon Lord nodded:
"We can continue to send people to track down the Dai family's Nine-Turn Golden Body Art. It is said to be in the hands of the clan elder Dai Zonghui. Since he escaped from the Dai family two years ago, he has been wandering around Lu State. People often claim to have spotted him. It seems that he is looking for the whereabouts of Dai Vincent, the Dai family's number one genius."

Lin Shan strangely took out two huge axes from his storage bag, which were exactly Davinson's magical weapons.

"I caught up with and killed Davinson a long time ago, and the three-color earth ganoderma also fell into my hands. I guess no one in the outside world knows about it, including Dai Zonghui, the elder of the Dai family. And the reason why he has not fled Lu State seems to be that he wants to find Davinson and make a comeback after the two teams merge.

However, his wish was doomed to fail.”

The Black Skull Demon Lord looked at the pair of giant axes with envy:

"These two pairs of axes are made of the fourth-level spiritual material purple ghost copper. If you had given them to me, the power of my life soul treasure would have been greatly increased!"

Lin Shan put the axe back into his storage bracelet unhappily: "I've given you everything. Where can I find the materials for my magic weapon in the future?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord smiled awkwardly and did not dwell on the matter. Instead, he talked to him about soul refining.

"You have the Nascent Soul stage 'White Bone Visualization Diagram' that I provided. Logically, your early progress should be rapid. Combined with your original late foundation building cultivation, it is estimated that in less than ten years, you will be able to feed back and drive your soul to the late foundation building realm of soul cultivation. This will coincide with your spiritual power cultivation. By then, you should have reached the perfection of the late foundation building stage."

"When both systems have completed their foundation building, we can consider condensing the golden elixir and soul elixir."

"It goes without saying that the Great Dao of Golden Pills is the breakthrough of the Great Dao of Soul Pills. What is needed is the Soul Source. This kind of thing must be refined from your spirit soul. It varies from person to person depending on one's aptitude. It is also one of the important factors in assisting the condensation of the Soul Pill and the quality of the finished pill."

Lin Shan nodded. He had heard this kind of explanation before.

There are many ways to refine the soul source.

For example, the Skeleton Clan's method of refining the soul with bone marrow, the Wandering Soul Clan's method of tempering the body with the netherworld, the Yaksha Clan's method of absorbing flames with flying wings, the Shura Clan's method of evolving evil thoughts, and the Red Ghost Clan's method of refining the soul with ghost horns.
In addition to the races mentioned above that focus on soul cultivation, for humans to refine soul source, they generally use the normal method of burning essence to refine it.

However, Lin Shan has no plans to refine it for the time being. He wants to take a shortcut and see if he can get another round of investment.

That’s right, the Seven Arrows Book!

That object, lying quietly in the endless void for eternity, has long become a legendary immortal weapon.

Rather than saying that this manuscript is an immortal weapon, it is better to say that it is a great immortal with an independent personality, or an ancient being whose origins are untraceable.

It has laid out its plans in the world of Hell, teleporting countless creatures to the heavens and all realms, reaping countless lives and offering sacrifices without imposing any cause and effect on itself. It only needs a little bit of soul-source material as a reward to attract countless creatures of Hell.

It was such a great figure who, when Lin Shan was still in the Qi training stage, due to accidental reasons, through the Wudao Sect's inheritance, an ordinary straw man served as a bond, which led to a brief encounter between the two.

The immortal weapon didn't say a word at the time, but simply bestowed him a seed of magical power. Perhaps for the ancient immortal weapon, this was just an insignificant sprinkle of water in the endless years.

But for Lin Shan, this was the first time he received investment from a great figure in the fairy world, which had profound and unforgettable long-term significance.

Not only did he intimidate the traitor Black Skull Demon Lord many times, but he also attributed many unclear things in the future to the investment of the powerful people in the fairy world, making it difficult for Black Skull Demon Lord to distinguish the truth about Lin Shan's background.

This time, Lin Shan plans to take the initiative to try to communicate with the immortal weapon to see if he can obtain some soul source materials from this big guy as a means to break through the Soul Pill Stage and advance!

"Hoo~~ho~~"

The wind started to blow in the secret room for no reason. The Black Skull Demon Lord looked nervously at the straw man in front of him, as well as Lin Shan who was trying to recover his mood.

The straw man was quietly placed in the corner, with two candles in front of him swaying and jumping in the dark and narrow space. The shadow lengthened in the dimness, and a dull atmosphere began to spread.

The Black Skull Demon Lord felt uneasy for no reason when he thought that he might see a real immortal in a while, and couldn't help asking Lin Shan:

"To meet the mighty one in the immortal world, don't you need to bathe, change clothes, fast for three months, offer sacrifices in a pool of blood, and chant a blessing?"

Lin Shan closed his eyes and replied softly:
"Need not."

The Black Skull Demon Lord still felt cold, his legs were shaking, but he couldn't help but smile:

"Then brother, I'm here to watch the ceremony. Do I need to make any preparations?"

Lin Shan was still resting and adjusting his whole body:
"Need not."

The soul fire of the Black Skull Demon Lord was surging. He paced back and forth, speaking incoherently with excitement. He could not help but ask cautiously:
"When I meet the powerful beings in the immortal world later, can you say a few good words for me?"

Lin Shan himself was unsure, so how could he make any promises? He could only say vaguely:
"try your best."

But he didn't expect that just by saying this casually, the Black Skull Demon Lord trembled with excitement and almost knelt down!
In an instant, he was extremely grateful to Lin Shan: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be so loyal and righteous. I will do my best to assist you in the future, and I will never slack off!"

Lin Shan ignored it and tried his best to calm his distracting thoughts. He wanted to communicate with the magic weapon in the best condition and leave a good impression when they met for the second time.

As for the Black Skull Demon Lord, the reason why he was allowed to watch from the side was to prove that he was indeed connected to the immortal weapon, to make this guy more afraid and wary of him, and to cover up the abnormalities caused by some of his previous enhanced panels and confuse the public.

Even if the immortal weapon did not give him a second round of investment in the end, he had at least met him. The Black Skull Demon Lord would naturally not doubt him anymore, and he had also taken the initiative to fight for it.

Lin Shan has a calm attitude. If a big boss invests in something like this, it’s better if he has it, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. He has to try to know.

If I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my life. The worst that can happen is that I can go back and slowly refine the soul source myself, but if I don't take the shortcut, it would be a waste of my network resources.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly activated the purple-black magical seed in his brain, and a faint white light gradually lit up on the straw man in the corner.
