Immortal Road.

Chapter 325: The Snake King and the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Milk

Both sides fell into silence.

Xu Jizi, Black Dragon Old Ghost and the two old men Jing Xuan were gradually becoming murderous, and their aura was oppressive. All the Jindan True Immortals were watching them covetously.

Even the Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave began to have flickering eyes. He glanced at the ancestor of Yang Family beside him without leaving a trace, and had evil thoughts about Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu.

Previously, with the ownerless Lu Yu stalactite in front of them, they were able to split into two camps to fight against each other.

Now that Sailor Moon has messed up the situation, the cooked duck has flown away, leaving only these two with the ready-made supplies. With no choice, they can shift their attention.

The ancestor of the Yang family also noticed this subtle point. He wanted to protect Lin Shan, but he could not fight against so many fellow practitioners alone.

Just when he was nervous and tormented, paper cranes suddenly flew over from a distance. After receiving some news, some Jindan Zhenren in the crowd changed their expressions, hesitated for a moment, turned around immediately, and rushed away without hesitation!

These people all had subordinates who were exploring various places in Hongyadong. They suddenly received the news and left in a hurry. And it seemed that they were all heading in the same direction, so something must have happened.

Several masters in the late Jindan stage looked at each other and still did not take any action.

It was not until more and more people began to leave that they were convinced that this was not a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but that there was indeed trace of the fourth reed jade stalactite!
"go!"

The two elders Jingxuan left without hesitation.

They had seen Zhong Shenxiu's means of escape, and knew that they had little chance of keeping him, so they might as well fight for the next opportunity.

Xu Jizi frowned and looked at the decreasing number of Jindan Zhenren behind him, while the demon army of the two brothers opposite were on high alert. Feeling that they could not be suppressed, he retreated decisively.

Seeing this, the old ghost Black Dragon had no choice but to glance at the two of them unwillingly, then turned into a black rainbow and disappeared.

The three ancestors of the Yang family exchanged glances, and there was an inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

Others thought that this was the fourth occurrence of the Lu Yu stalactite, but the three of them knew clearly that this was the fifth and the last one!
Because long before everyone came in, they found a copy, although it was only incomplete.
"Master Lin, Zhong Tianjiao, do you two want to come with us?"

The ancestor of the Yang family was mainly impressed by the combat power of the demon tribe under the command of the two men, and urged them to go together. The great elder of the Zhenyue Sect and the master of Xuchan Cave also invited them.

Unexpectedly, the two of them shook their heads and politely declined.

"We both have a portion of spiritual milk in our bodies, which has been coveted by others. If we go to fight for it again this time, it is very likely to completely anger everyone, and then it will implicate the three of you. It is better to give up now."

The ancestor of the Yang family wanted to persuade him again, but the two old brothers next to him were already a little impatient. They were afraid that if they went too slowly, they would be copied by others, so they pulled him and signaled him to leave quickly.

There was no choice but for the three to turn around and leave.

Before leaving, the ancestor of the Yang family did not forget to secretly convey instructions to Lin Shan.

"Master Lin, I know you still have important things to do. After you finish this, you can explore other places in the Cliff Forbidden Land for a maximum of half a year. We will wait for you at the entrance of the Aurora Sea in the south of the forbidden land. Don't waste too much time. After all, my hometown, Luxi Lujiang League, may change if you delay."

Even at this time, the ancestor of the Yang family is still thinking about the Lujiang Alliance and is anxious and worried about them.

Lin Shan replied in a voice transmission: "Don't worry, leader. I know what's going on. I will find you when the time comes. Take care!"

"You should also be more careful, Zhong Shenxiu is not so easy to deal with"

The Yang family's ancestor Yu Hong walked away without saying anything more.

Only Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu were left on the field, with two groups of demon armies standing still below.

"Brother, I have some things to do, so I can't stay any longer. We'll meet in front of the Kuihu Demon King's tent later!"

"Okay, Third Brother, go and do your own thing. I'll have a drink with you later."

The two brothers exchanged a few pleasantries and then went their separate ways.

Zhong Shenxiu came to Hongya Cave to complete a mission for his master. Now that he has obtained the Lu Yu stalactite, he also has to take care of another matter, so it is not convenient for him to continue leading the demon army.

Before leaving, he even informed several demon generals to lead the troops from each cave back to the camp on their own and there was no need to wait for him.

Lin Shan also had something to do, and time was even more pressing. He also couldn't lead the army, so he could only send them back and turn to fly to the other side.

……

Passing through caves and flying over stone forests.

Using the virtual star disk and following the guidance of the white gauze, Lin Shan is tracking Sailor Moon's direction.

This woman had been besieged by so many Jindan Zhenren before, and she must have suffered serious injuries and consumed a lot of energy. It was time for me to go and close the net.

In fact, before giving chase, he wanted to curse with the Seven Arrows Book.

However, the tracking distance of the Virtual Star Disk is limited, and Sailor Moon's breath is fading away quickly. Lin Shan is afraid that if he is delayed, he will lose the direction of the target, so he has to track first and then wait for an opportunity to act.

After chasing for about an incense stick of time, we found that the target seemed to start going deeper underground and leaving towards the outskirts of Hongya Cave.

Lin Shan frowned, jumped into the underground river, and continued tracking according to the instructions of the virtual star disk.

This journey was quite tortuous.

The underground rivers vary in size and shape. They may not be easy to see from above, but you will find that they are not that simple after diving in.

Some of the underwater channels are wide, and some are narrow cracks. They are usually etched by dissolved substances carried by river water as it flows underground. Of course, it is not ruled out that they are natural cracks formed by geological movements.

As he dived deeper, the water pressure of the underground river gradually increased. The surrounding limestone layers were bumpy, with many holes of different sizes, densely packed together. If one had a severe phobia of trying hard to reach the surface, one would definitely feel dizzy.

The deeper the water flows, the lower its speed and flow rate. It will encounter various obstacles when flowing, such as rock sediments or deformed layers in limestone. In these places, there are often whirlpools that confuse the monks' five senses.

Fortunately, Lin Shan had the guidance of the Virtual Star Disk, and was able to lock onto Sailor Moon through her underwear. If it had been someone else, they would have probably lost her long ago.

He secretly complained in his heart, it was obvious that no one was pursuing her except him, yet she was still so cautious, taking so many detours to clear her traces. She didn't seem like someone who was taught in a warm-house place like an academy, but rather like an experienced cultivator who had been struggling in the world of cultivation for many years.

I swam in the underground river for four or five hours!
They have run two or three thousand miles away and have long left the scope of Hongya Cave. I don't know where Shui Bingyue is going. It seems that she has other purpose.

The journey through Linshan was thrilling, passing by many deep riverbeds. Unknown whirlpools and turbulence hid huge dangers, strangling and devouring all living things passing by.

There was also a bottomless crack, which could not be called a big crack, but could be called a Grand Canyon, stretching for who knows how far, standing just under his feet for eternity, absorbing all the light, and it was pitch black, leading to an unknown mysterious area. Along the way, all kinds of strange creatures appeared one after another, some of which exuded an aura that made him feel suffocated.

For example, the big-mouthed anglerfish has a light source on its head. It can use this light source to actively lure other fish. It even wanted to seduce Lin Shan, but failed.

There are also octopuses as thick as elephants. This kind of mollusk is huge when its tentacles are spread out. They can also glow. Once the prey in the water approaches, they will instantly secrete mucus to trap the opponent.

There are also frilled sharks, which can usually grow to more than ten feet long and have more than twenty rows of trident-shaped teeth. They look scary from a distance and can bite to pieces any prey that passes by them.

Lionfish have a rectangular body with sharp spines and long tentacles on their heads. They live in groups of more than 10,000, like natural patrol guards of underground rivers.

The blue jellyfish, with a light and transparent body, was hidden in the bioluminescence of other creatures. It suddenly jumped out when Lin Shan passed by and scared him, but its strength was not very good and he killed it with one sword. The disgusting pus that flowed out almost destroyed his magic weapon.

The most terrifying one is the barreleye fish. The brain of this fish is funnel-shaped, with two leaf-like structures covering the top of its head, like two eyelids. Once the leaves are opened, two beams of light shoot out instantly, capable of reaching dozens of miles away!
Lin Shan saw with his own eyes a huge sea lion being shot and killed by two glares from a barreleye fish from a long distance. It had no ability to resist even though it was dozens of miles away.

"Damn it, where is Sailor Moon going? Why does she have to go into such a secluded underground river?"

The fear and terror he felt along the way made him worried and he didn't know whether he should continue to follow.

……

While Lin Shan was chasing, Sailor Moon in front had already landed.

This is an underground world where fireflies dance. The dark space is filled with self-luminous flowers and plants. Bees fly around collecting nectar, and colorful butterflies dance among the flowers.

A young woman in a moon-white robe walked slowly and gracefully, stopping from time to time to smell the flowers along the way. She was intoxicated by the charming fragrance, as if she was on a picnic or vacation.

"Xiao Die, you said that you sensed the spiritual fluid of heaven and earth that may be beneficial to your growth nearby?"

She was talking to herself in the air, no idea who she was talking to. Her tone was unusually gentle and doting, a complete departure from her usual cold temperament. Her smile could make all the flowers pale in comparison.

She tilted her head and listened for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"If it doesn't interfere with the mission, it's okay to look for it here, but I warn you, don't run around anymore, and change your habit of stealing spiritual fluids. This forbidden area is different from the academy. Once you get lost, it will be difficult to find you back!"

A patch of fluorescent pink suddenly appeared in the void, as if something was responding.

Sailor Moon nodded, temporarily left the river bank, and walked towards the underground cave ahead.

……

In an ancient underground cave, this natural botanical garden seems to be isolated from the world and is filled with a magical and inexplicable atmosphere.

The stalactites and stalagmites in the cave have been carved into various shapes and forms by the years. They are intertwined with flowers, plants and trees to form a spectacular natural picture.

Unlike Hongyadong, the air here is extremely fresh, as if it has been purified.

Various plants grow freely here, with various species and shapes. Some plants grow on the top of the cave, like green clouds, while others are attached to stalactites, giving life to these stones.

The entire natural botanical garden is shrouded in a soft halo, making it look particularly mysterious.

In this underground botanical garden, there live various small animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, bats, etc. They run, hunt, and play freely here, leading a peaceful life.

Occasionally, you can hear the sound of dripping water and insects chirping intertwined together, forming a beautiful symphony that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

It is hard to imagine that in the middle of a long underground river, there is such an uninhabited paradise.

An old figure walked here slowly with his hands behind his back, looking calm and walking with ease.

Sometimes I look up at the stalactite forest above my head, and sometimes I look down at the waist-high grass. Everything is under control.

It turned out to be the Ming Snake Demon King who had not been seen for a long time!
It is now living in the body of Master Puchang, and seems to have completely solved the aftereffects of the incoordination of its limbs after taking over another's body. At least from the outside, its movements no longer appear stiff, and it looks just like a real human being.

And only it itself knows clearly that although this body was taken over by it on its own initiative, it is also its new cage, equivalent to a restriction of shackles.

The reason why it did not take any action for two months and just followed the three Linshan brothers quietly as an inconspicuous old servant was because it had long known that it had no way to recover its cultivation.

The limitations of Master Puchang’s qualifications and physical lifespan have directly blocked the way forward, and he has reached the ceiling!
If he could break through the Nascent Soul stage, he would not have gone to the forbidden area on the cliff to fight when the deadline came.

The owner of this body is dead, but the successor is also stuck at the upper limit of this aging body. That is why most people who want to possess another body will definitely choose a young Dinglu with good qualifications as the target.

Have you ever seen anyone so idle as to possess the body of a dying old man?

The Ming Snake Demon King had no choice at the beginning, he had no choice!
If we want to change the status quo now, we must start from three aspects:
1. Rejuvenate this body, remove the life limit of the body, and allow it to continue to improve. As long as it can be restored to the Nascent Soul stage, it can then slowly transform into a demon body, which can extend its lifespan.

2. Improve the physical qualifications and break the smooth road to the Yuanying period so that it will not be strangled and there will be no qualification bottleneck.

3. Recover the Nascent Soul stage cultivation in a short period of time.

Among the above three.

The first thing you need is an elixir to prolong your life.

The second one requires spiritual medicine to improve qualifications.

The third one requires elixir to restore one's cultivation.

These three kinds of spiritual medicines are all top-grade spiritual medicines that are hard to find in the world of cultivation. It is difficult to find just one, let alone find all three at the same time!
Moreover, now that the Ming Snake Demon King has taken over another body, there is simply not enough time and energy for it to search around. It must recover its cultivation as quickly as possible and reshape its demon body.

If it were someone else, they would probably have to accept their fate.

Fortunately, as a veteran demon king of the Star-Swallowing Mountains, its knowledge and vision are naturally extraordinary.

In the world of cultivation, there is an object that can satisfy these three functions at the same time, allowing it to easily break the lifespan limit, unlock the qualification problem, restore the Nascent Soul stage cultivation, and once again become a free and dominant Nascent Soul demon king.

That is,

The essence of the earth mother source of the reed jade stalactites, the innate leak-free ridge.

Ten thousand years of spiritual milk!
