Immortal Road.

Chapter 386: The Secret of the Soul, Companion Spirit Beast

"One Kun year?"

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and winked at each other. The Black Skull Demon Lord said he had never heard of it.

The man in the bamboo hat explained it to them slowly.

"In the myriad worlds, no matter how big or small, every world has a revolution period of two and a half years around the Immortal Realm. The same is true for the world fragments surrounding each world."

"In the Immortal Realm, the surging cycle of the Earth's magnetic field is also two and a half years."

"When it comes to natural disasters and natural disasters that occur in different places, you will find that most of them occur within a period of no more than two and a half years."

"So in some ancient immortal realms, they do not use the new calendar of heaven to record years, but instead follow the Kun year calculation method."

"Since you told me to wait for a year, you must know something. Can you tell me?"

Lin Shan really didn't expect that he just casually mentioned two and a half years, and the man in the bamboo hat would guess something directly!
He didn't dare to hide it, because the gunfire just now made him feel that there was no secret at all. This old monster even knew about the affairs of the fairy world. If he dared to play tricks on him, he would definitely die miserably!

"Senior, actually, it's like this. The people who are looking for you should be from Bailu Academy and Jingyang Academy. These two are currently trapped in the fragments of the world of Xiaoyizhou. It will take two and a half years for them to..."

Lin Shan explained the situation of Zhong Shenxiu and Shui Bingyue. Anyway, before leaving Qingyang Peak, both the good and evil forces there had dug out the void battleship, so who knows, they might be able to return in the next cycle.

The man in the bamboo hat nodded to show that he understood, then shook his head and said that he couldn't wait that long.

"Anyway, the two old guys from the Confucian School just wanted to ask me about the Confucian and Taoist civilization three eras ago."

"But I don't practice Confucianism, and I don't know much, so I can't give them any substantial help."

"What's funny is that now is the era of the Immortal Dao, but instead of following the will of Heaven, they are focusing on studying things from the ancient era. Even if they really find something, what good will it do if they refine it in a weird way?"

"His realm has improved, but his strength cannot keep up. He is just an old turtle who has lived a little longer. He has nothing to do but wait to die."

Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord were horrified when they heard this.

It seems that he knows some great secret of Confucianism.

The man in the bamboo hat glanced at them and shook his head.

"You two also have traces of the Wu Dao Era on your bodies. It's best to just try it out. Don't pursue it too much, or you'll end up wasting your time in cultivation."

He stopped there and didn't persuade her further.

Lin Shan immediately understood that the man in the bamboo hat was referring to his 'Curse Magic Power' and 'Seven-Arrow Calligraphy Man', as well as the 'Order Contract' and 'Broken Witch Dagger' of the Black Skull Demon Lord in the Hell World.

The immortal book "Seven Arrows Book with Nailed Heads" has a deep study on witchcraft, so the two have unknowingly been stained with some traces of it.

It was rare for Lin Shan to meet such a big guy, so he just happened to flatter him and ask for some advice.

"Will these traces of the Witch Era have a negative impact on the future path of cultivation?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was also listening, and he also wanted to know the same question.

The man in the bamboo hat looked indifferent.

"You are at a low level now, and you have only made a superficial contact. There is no future to talk about, so there is no need to worry about it."

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The soul fire of the Black Skull Demon Lord flickered. Although he had traveled to many places, he had never come into contact with such a person. He couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to ask him questions about cultivation.

When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you are basically at the top of a realm. Most of the time you have to figure things out on your own. How can you easily meet a big shot at a higher realm to guide you?

"Senior, do you think I have any hope of advancing to the Lord of Bones, or am I lacking in some aspects?"

This is a very thoughtful question.

Ask questions about spiritual practice, especially from strangers.

If you ask them one by one in detail about how to practice here or how to practice there, it is very likely to cause people's impatience.

So the Black Skull Demon Lord directly asked himself what he was lacking in if he wanted to advance.

When the time comes, the big guys will give some macro-level guidance, which is equivalent to pointing it in a direction, and it will just be up to it to figure out the details on its own.

This is the meaning of standing on the shoulders of giants to see the scenery.

The man in the bamboo hat was quite easy to talk to. It seemed that because he had been in seclusion for too long, it was rare for someone to come in and relieve his boredom, so he spoke a few simple words to the little skeleton.

"You signed a contract with a certain figure in the fairy world, and planned to take the path of growing your clone and giving back to the main body. There is nothing wrong with that. Just go ahead."

“But as a skeleton with the most ordinary talent, even though you don’t feel anything now, if you reach the Nascent Soul Great Perfection and truly break through, you will most likely get stuck at the step of transforming the Primordial Spirit because you don’t have enough soul.”

"Soul does not refer to your understanding or your ability to communicate with spirits, but the degree of your harmony with the universe."

"If your compatibility is not good enough, you will never succeed in transformation. Repeated attempts will only consume your potential, so you must quickly find a way to improve your soul."

"After successfully transforming your soul, there are still two major challenges: wandering in the outer space and forgetting yourself! By then, your clan's White Bone Lord might even take over your body. It all depends on your ability."

The Black Skull Demon Lord had never heard of this, and no one had ever told him how to accumulate from the Nascent Soul stage upwards. It was also the first time he had heard of the concept of soul.

He immediately continued to ask: "Then how can we improve the soul spirit and the degree of harmony between the soul and the heaven and earth?"

This thing is so mysterious that he couldn't figure out how to exercise it no matter how hard he tried.

The man in the bamboo hat glanced at Lin Shan beside him with a strange tone.

"What else can you do? Either rely on talent or external things. If you have enough soul sources, after long-term use, your soul will naturally rise."

"Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be the Soul Origin. Some other special soul-related elixirs can more or less have a little effect, but they are far inferior to the Soul Origin."

"Well, speaking of it, soul source is hard to obtain in the upper world, not to mention the lower world. After all, each creature that extracts this thing is unique. It is rumored that only a certain immortal weapon can mass-produce the pure soul source that anyone can use."

This big guy is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of secrets, but he still only mentioned them briefly.

Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon King were fascinated by what they heard and quickly took notes in their minds.

The Black Skull Demon Lord turned his head and looked at Lin Shan greedily. He remembered clearly that the Immortal Book Master had bought up all the soul sources of this kid from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage!

By then, you will rely on the soul source to practice all the way. It is estimated that you don’t even need to cultivate the soul deliberately. When you reach a certain level, you can directly transform your spirit!

Damn, the difference between having a big boss behind you and not having one is too big!

The Black Skull Demon Lord felt so upset that his heart was bubbling.

This immortal book is too generous, why does it give everything?
He loves this boy better than his own son.

However, it also knew that it had to stop while it was ahead. Asking more questions would probably backfire, so it quickly thanked the man in the bamboo hat.

Seeing this, Lin Shan was also eager to try, and asked the man in the bamboo hat if there was anything wrong with his method.

The man in the bamboo hat didn't even look at him.

"You are a disaster star, what can you say?"

Lin Shan: "."

Black Skull Demon Lord: “.”

The man in the bamboo hat was very surprised: "What's with your expressions?"

Lin Shan made a bitter face: "Nothing."

The Black Skull Demon Lord bared his teeth and laughed: "You are really good at judging people!"

The man in the bamboo hat was even more surprised to see that the skeleton monster seemed to be gloating over his misfortune.

"He is a disaster star, why are you so happy?"

"The star of misfortune usually brings misfortune to others. You are the one who suffers misfortune with him, not him."

"If it were me, I would have run away long ago!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was stunned.

Then he exchanged expressions with Lin Shan.

The smile faded.

Do you think it doesn't want to run away? It can't run away!
Not to mention the binding of the golden pages of the contract.

Lingbao hasn't been kidnapped yet. If he runs away, wouldn't all the suffering I've endured over the years be in vain?
The man in the bamboo hat ignored it and saw Lin Shan staring at him, so he said something to him. "There's nothing wrong with you practicing both the Golden Pill Avenue and the Soul Pill Avenue at the same time."

"Besides, both elixirs are of the first grade, which is enough for a small place like the human world."

"Besides, you are only in the Golden Core Stage now. Not only do you have a spiritual treasure, but you can even carry the Void Butterfly with you. You are quite lucky!"

"Go your own way. I can't help you."

Lin Shan felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, even though he already knew that all his secrets had been seen through.

But when people say it one by one, I still feel a strong sense of nervousness.

Fortunately, the man in the bamboo hat didn't seem to figure out the secret of the gold finger enhancement panel.

Although the Void Butterfly discovered it, it had no intention of taking it.

In the eyes of the man in the bamboo hat, the only thing that caught Lin Shan's eye and was worth mentioning was the Void Butterfly.
"You, the Void Butterfly, already have an owner, otherwise I would also be tempted. After all, you are a Chaos Ancient Creature."

"Looking back to the past, it is said that a great catastrophe in a certain era was instigated by the Void Butterfly."

"Once this creature grows up, it will destroy the heavens and the earth and move freely. No world can withstand it."

"It is very likely that a small and careless action will bury all the lives in the world and bring endless disasters, which will complement you, the star of disaster."

"But at the same time, you are not its owner. Even if you feed it for a period of time, it will eventually fly away, so you must be cautious in your initial investment, or you may end up with nothing."

The man in the bamboo hat was quite kind-hearted. He reminded Lin Shan to stop the loss in time. This thing did not belong to him, and he would cry if it flew away in the future.

Lin Shan was confused now.

What's wrong with having a master?
Can't you poach someone if they already have an owner?

But this big guy didn't even have the thought of robbing it, which made him feel that there might be another reason.

"Senior, a spirit beast should be able to choose its master, right? I have put so much effort into caring for it, and it will be moved one day. How can it be in vain?"

The man in the bamboo hat sneered, as if mocking his naive delusion.

"Because this is a companion spirit beast, just like when you achieved the first level of elixir, did you also get a companion spirit cloud?"

He flicked his finger.

Smoke was curling above Lin Shan's head, and the clear blue sky was shaken out hazily.

Normally, even the owner doesn’t know where this cloud is hiding, but there is no hiding at all from the man in the bamboo hat.

Lin Shan suddenly understood why the people in the bamboo hats did not covet the Void Butterfly.

The companion spirit beast, like his companion spirit cloud, is uniquely bound and cannot be replaced.

It’s useless even if someone else snatches it away!

No wonder Sailor Moon was so generous. She wasn't afraid that he would kidnap the Void Butterfly and rented it to him happily. He just had to provide food and feeding it.

It turns out that Xiaodie was born with her, their lives are at stake, and they share life and death!
"The Void Butterfly has not appeared in the world for many years. It is said that this chaotic creature is not born from eggs, but is born from the condensation of the chaotic mother energy."

"A person who is born with a Void Butterfly must have a great origin and unimaginable background."

"I advise you to either stay away from such people, or serve the Void Butterfly well and get closer to its owner. Don't think about poaching them."

“That’s just a waste of time.”

The man in the bamboo hat told him directly not to waste his time, as his master would not be afraid of rebellion if he dared to let the animals go, and there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Lin Shan remained silent, feeling unwilling.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was confused, wondering if the Void Butterfly was not an investment given to Lin Shan by the Immortal Book Boss? How did it become someone else's companion beast?

Could it be that Lin Shan is helping the Immortal Book Boss raise a pet?
But the question is, why don’t you raise the Immortal Book yourself?
Questions popped up in its mind one after another, but it didn't speak them out in front of the man in the bamboo hat. It just planned to ask them when it had time.

The man in the bamboo hat saw that he had given enough advice and it was time to get back to the main business.

"How about you two go out and run some errands for me?"

People had just helped the two of them a lot and had given them many suggestions. Now that they were given a task, they really couldn't refuse it.

If you continue to make excuses, it means you don't know how to appreciate the favor. Both of you have clear minds.

They looked at each other, understood each other, and bowed without hesitation.

"Senior, please feel free to ask for any mission you have. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, we will never retreat even a single step!"

"Need not."

The man in the bamboo hat didn't buy it and told them straight out that it was no big deal, just running errands.

"I need you to go out of the forbidden area on the cliff and head to a place called Zabagon. Find a small, dilapidated village. Stick this talisman on a black well in the village for me, and the mission will be completed."

As he spoke, he stretched out a broad palm, and a ball of white light surged, condensing into a talisman in an instant.

"Zabagon"

Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord had never heard of it, let alone knew where it was.

"Senior, where exactly is it?"

The man in the bamboo hat pointed to the northwest.

"I don't remember it very clearly. Maybe it's been a long time. Maybe the place has changed its name after many changes."

"It's about half an hour to the northwest, about 80,000 miles."

"When you go back, make your own calculations and do more field research."

"Don't make any mistake!"

After hearing this, the two nodded. It turned out that it was just a matter of finding a place and putting up a talisman.

Although they don't know what it is used for, they just have to do whatever the boss tells them to do. They all understand that curiosity kills the cat.

"Senior, is there a time limit?"

Lin Shan still has a lot to do.

The forbidden area on the cliff is not over yet, we have to go to the demon king Kuihu.

Afterwards, it is also necessary to go back to Lujiang League, the old nest of Lu State.

I also have my own natal soul treasure, which has been nurtured under the sea of ​​consciousness soul pill. It’s time to put my natal magic treasure on the agenda.

In addition, the clues hidden by Master Yuxing need to be collected as soon as possible, and in a race against time with Young Master Jiuyou, he has to go to the Swallowing Star Gate of Jin State.

He really has too much to do and seems to be overwhelmed, but now he has one more task.

Unexpectedly, the man in the bamboo hat glanced at the two of them and waved leisurely.

"Don't worry. Although your current strength far exceeds your original cultivation level, it is still far from enough. It would be safer to wait until you reach the late Jindan stage."

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. There was no rush, just leave it alone and take your time.

But, he reacted immediately.

Isn't it just running errands?
Why do I need to be in the late Jindan stage?
"Senior, what do you use this talisman for?"

He asked, swallowing.

The man in the bamboo hat smiled and told him not to be nervous.

"Nothing much. There was a demon that wreaked havoc on the world back then, and I suppressed him."

"It's been a while now, and I'm afraid the seal might get loose and he might escape. I need to reinforce it."

"It's not convenient for me to go there myself, so you can go there~"

"Hmm? What's going on? You don't look very well."
