Immortal Road.

Chapter 406: Yin and Yang, the Incarnation

This group of evil soldiers and generals did not leave without saying goodbye to General Xiong.

To be honest, the Three Caves and Seven Armies are the direct subordinates of the Demon King Kuihu, and are the guards that directly obey Lin Shan.

Moreover, after completely annihilating the Qingyang Peak fleet, they also took away a lot of the belongings of the deacons and disciples.

Lin Shan had experienced the power of this army. After all, they were all monsters under his command. He had to give them some soup when eating meat. There was no need to worry about those small melons and dates.

At this time, the otter's belly was already shriveled. It had been fat for two years, but after fighting a great battle, it had returned to its pre-liberation state in one day.

"Go ahead, go back and absorb the electricity. I'll call you next time when I'm free."

Lin Shan asked it to go back in a friendly manner. There was no need to be hypocritically polite to his own summoned beast.

Thunder Otter was originally in a good mood. After all, it had defeated two powerful enemies in succession, which made it feel very refreshed. It was also good to stretch its muscles occasionally.

But the next second my mood suddenly turned bad!
Look, is this even human language?

So I suck electricity day and night just to work for you???
However, Lin Shan had already taken out the summoning flag, and a blue vortex channel appeared, from which came the aura of the ancient battlefield of the evil demons from Xiaoyizhou.

Wagging its tail, the otter left dissatisfied.

The Black Skull Demon Lord came forward and observed the legacy left by Taoist Qingji with Lin Shan.

The first is the natal magic weapon, the gray bow.

[Xuanni Xuantai Bow] (Damaged)

Quality: Magical weapon
Introduction: The thirty-six-fold magic prohibition was refined by the weapon refining master Qingyang Zhenren. It contains the two energies of Yin Qian and Yang Xuan, and can add the power of Yin and Yang to the bow and arrow.

Note: The mysterious fetus of Nirvana that has been nurtured by True Man Qing Ji for many years has now fallen into a deep sleep.

Enhancement requirements: 64 points (cannot be enhanced when damaged)

"This bow is really a treasure. As long as we put a new string on it, it will be very powerful when we pull it!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord exclaimed in admiration at the side, praising the exquisiteness of the treasure refining technique. He couldn't help but admire and observe it, and checked it over and over again.

Even as a master of weapon refining, I still feel that there are many things worth learning and drawing lessons from.

Qianyun Pavilion is the major weapon-making sect of the human race, and the master of Qingyang Peak is a graduate of a formal school, with mastery of the weapon-making technique.

The reason why he is a master of refining but not a grandmaster of refining is because he has no experience in refining spiritual treasures.

Without the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, first of all, obtaining the soul of the Nascent Soul stage is a big problem. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Furthermore, the depth of one's cultivation can also enable one to precisely control every aspect of refining equipment, and these improvements are considerable.

Lin Shan looked at the broken bowstring and reached out to pull it off.

Even though this thing was an extraordinary material before, it has been destroyed in the battle between the two thunder magics. The spirituality, spiritual patterns, and spiritual charm of the spiritual material have long disappeared, so it is no longer worth reusing.

If you don't re-string the instrument, you can only change the string.

"This bowstring seems to have been made of Xuanyin vines."

"Well, it fits Taoist Qingji very well!"

"After all, it is my life magic weapon."

The Black Skull Demon Lord touched his lower jaw and muttered to himself, his soul fire swaying, obviously thinking.

Lin Shan quickly asked: "What do you think would be a good bowstring?"

"Of course it's animal tendons!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord replied as a matter of course.

A group of demon generals and soldiers behind it were furious, staring at it with eyes as big as copper bells.

The guy was startled and quickly turned around and smiled.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want your tendons. We can go find other monsters to trouble."

Lin Shan threw away the two useless broken strings in his hand and let them fall into the canyon.

But suddenly he remembered something, and with a snap of his fingers, the Netherworld Ghost Fire caught up with it and burned it clean to avoid leaving any residue.

"Do we have to use animal tendons? Can't we just find a vine or something and restore it to its original form?"

The Black Skull Demon Lord shook his head.

"The Xuanyin vine itself has a cold and desolate power, so it is very suitable for Taoist Qingji himself, but it doesn't suit you!"

"Besides, who knows where they got the Xuanyin Ivy from? Maybe there is a storehouse in the big sect. How can you compare with them?"

"I said animal tendons are suitable because they are the easiest to find. Just find a Jindan-stage monster and kill it, then skin it and remove its tendons and cook it right after it's killed."

"Where can you find a thousand-year-old tree?"

"If you find it, are you sure you can beat him?"

There is nothing wrong with this.

Taoist Qingji was born at the highest starting point, with the support of the sect behind him and the special support of the master of Qingyang Peak. It must be much easier for him to find materials that suit him than it was for Lin Shan.

For independent cultivators, animal tendons are of course the most convenient and quickest.

If you want ancient tree vines, you need to have at least a ten thousand year old plant spirit or above, and they must be the essence of the vines.

An adult thousand-year-old tree has hundreds and hundreds of vines, but only a few dozen of them can actually be used as materials for high-level refining tools, just like the essence of monster bones.

But at the same time, the combat power of the thousand-year-old plant spirits far exceeds that of monsters of the same level, and is even better than dozens of them joining forces. It is not easy to deal with at all.

Moreover, if you can't defeat it, it can burrow into the ground and escape, so its essence vines are very difficult to deal with.

"If there is an ancient tree of wind or lightning, wouldn't it be invincible if I get one?"

Lin Shan was still unwilling to give up and was daydreaming.

The Black Skull Demon Lord told him not to be greedy, just pick one at random to deal with it first, and it would not be too late to change it when he had the chance later.

How difficult is it to find a living ancient wind and thunder tree in the world today?
How could I possibly let you meet him?

Even if you meet him, he is of the same clan and from the same origin. He can restrain your existence, so why would you pull him with a cane?

"All right."

Lin Shan reluctantly withdrew his daydreams, then looked at the enhanced panel again, recalling when Taoist Qingji released his magical powers, he activated the bow arm with his skills, making it transparent, and there seemed to be black and white energy flowing inside.

The strengthening panel directly indicates that these are the Yin Qian and Yang Xuan energies, which can add yin and yang power to the bow and arrow.

Just by looking at the introduction you can tell that it is an incredible treasure!

However, Lin Shan is illiterate. He has confirmed this many times since he came to the forbidden area on the cliff. He has no idea what this thing is or where it came from.

So I had to ask the Black Skull Demon Lord for help.

"Do you know what the Yin Qian and Yang Xuan Qi are? I found a jade slip from Taoist Qing Ji's storage ring, which only recorded their names."

The Black Skull Demon Lord shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

The Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave who were standing nearby did react, as if they knew his origins.

"If I remember correctly, I once saw an ancient book in Yunchuan Academy."

"Legend has it that there are two energies, yin and yang, between heaven and earth. They are produced at the beginning of every world, and only one strand of each can be produced."

"If there is a peerless master who wants to transform into an immortal and refine the pure yang, he will need to use the yang energy, and then he can transform into a pure yang true immortal!"

"If there are powerful ghost cultivators who also want to transform, they will need to use Yin Qi to create pure Yin, and then they can transform into ghost immortals!"

"Of course, this is not absolute, because a pure yin body can also become a true immortal, which is beyond our ability to explore."

The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to be thinking about something, and asked questions based on the introductions given by the two older brothers.

"That means that in each world, there is only one strand of Yin and Yang energy. If they are separated, at most they can only create one Pure Yang True Immortal and one Pure Yin Ghost Immortal?"

"do not know"

The two brothers shook their heads at the same time. They were a million miles away from that realm, so how could they possibly understand the secret of becoming an immortal? However, according to that ancient book, theoretically, a world could only accommodate two people.

Those who cut down trees will suffer.

Once it's used, it's gone.

"real or fake."

This was the first time Lin Shan heard this secret and was half-believing and half-doubting.

If this is true, although there are countless heavens and worlds in the void, after so many years, it is probably possible that two immortals have appeared in each world.

Then how can future generations become immortals?

Shouldn't the way of heaven itself leave a glimmer of hope, be full of variables and fallbacks, and shouldn't cut off the hope of those who come later?
He felt that there was something fishy about this matter. The Yin and Yang energies were most likely one of the means of becoming an immortal with the help of external objects, and should not be the orthodox path of spiritual practice.

"Forget it, this is not important."

The Black Skull Demon Lord ended the topic. These people were only in the Golden Core stage, so it was too early to discuss this.

"Let's talk about it when you can reach the level of becoming an immortal."

Lin Shan nodded, then thought of something and asked excitedly.

"Then, the yin and yang energies, and what I have, can't be the same."

"Different."

The great elder of Zhenyue Sect told him not to be happy too soon. Yin and Yang Qi are so precious. How could they be locked in a mere magic weapon?

"Over the long years, there will always be some spiritual energy that has encountered Yin and Yang Qi, and has been contaminated with certain characteristics, and has been given a special Dao rhyme, turning into various kinds of pseudo Yin and Yang Qi."

"And the yin hidden and yang suspended energies are two of them."

"I don't know what ability Taoist Qingji has, but he can collect these two kinds of spiritual energy at the same time and refine them into his life magic weapon. This can be considered a great fortune."

"Treasures related to yin and yang have been rare since ancient times. Master Lin, good luck!"

The master of Xuchan Cave couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that you don't specialize in Yin-Yang techniques, so you can't make full use of this treasure."

Lin Shan nodded. He didn't feel any regrets.

There is no need to force many things.

It is impossible for me to change my practice of Yin-Yang Kung Fu just for a magic weapon. That would be totally putting the cart before the horse.

Lingbao is pretty good.

What's more, Taoist Qingji himself had problems practicing martial arts, which shows that this thing is not that easy to practice. Just use it as a top-level magic weapon.

Qingyang Peak is truly powerful, with connections all the way to the sky, and was able to help Taoist Qingji find this kind of treasure that suits him.

"The jade slip also mentioned the mysterious fetus of extinction. What does this mean?"

Lin Shan took advantage of the presence of the two elder brothers and the Black Skull Demon Lord and humbly asked for advice.

"Xuantai?"

This time, the Black Skull Demon Lord suddenly shouted, with a look of disbelief in his tone.

The Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave were confused and didn't understand why the skeleton monster was so startled.

"what happened?"

Lin Shan vaguely felt that this thing might be the most precious treasure left behind by Taoist Qingji.

"Have you ever heard of being reborn?"

The Black Skeleton Demon Lord's tone was excited, and his skeleton was shaking slightly, which did not seem fake.

Lin Shan and his two elder brothers were even more confused.

This word seems to be applicable in many cases. Breaking through the Qi training stage, spiritual transformation, shaving hair and cleansing marrow can be regarded as a complete transformation.

After breaking through the foundation-building period, his spiritual consciousness was released, he could control objects through the air, and step on the sword to the sky. It could be considered a complete transformation.

After breaking through the Golden Core Stage and swallowing a Golden Core, my fate is in my own hands, which can also be called a complete transformation.

Which aspect do you mean?

"You humans always like to use metaphors and rhetoric, but in our place, rebirth is another way to be reborn, but the conditions are too difficult and it has gradually become a legend."

The Black Skull Demon Lord told the three of them the story.

"The fetus is the beginning of consciousness and the basis of the Nascent Soul."

"Shelf-birth is when the fetus is fully nurtured and it leaves the innate body and transfers. It is similar to taking over another body."

"To change one's bones is to change one's skin again, to be the water that carries the boat, to be reborn in another way!"

"Reborn, cultivate for a long time, use it for a moment, once successful, it is equivalent to a second self!"

"The second self?"

Lin Shan and his two elder brothers were inexplicably shocked, and at the same time they thought of another term.

"Incarnation?!"

"That's right!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord rubbed his hands excitedly, not hiding his greed at all.

"The external incarnation is equivalent to the second Yuanying. This is another self after the rebirth and cultivation of the Xuantai."

"How many people desire to have a clone, two selves, with their combat power multiplied, their minds connected, and they can be controlled as easily as an arm."

"Brother, tell me quickly, where is the mysterious embryo of the extinction of the Qingji Taoist?"

Lin Shan's heart was pounding!

I didn’t expect that Taoist Qingji was still trying to create an incarnation?

That's right. There was something wrong with his own training and he might have trouble breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, so he planned to find another way and wanted to cultivate a Xuantai with the same origin as him.

It is still better to practice one's own skills and go back to the old path of the true meaning of Nirvana, but be careful not to repeat the same mistakes. It is equivalent to wading through the river of thunder and striving for the correct future for Xuantai.

To put it another way, there is no further progress to be made, so one gives up on oneself and instead places all one's energy on cultivating the Xuantai, hoping that the Xuantai can succeed and break through the Nascent Soul stage.

By then, the external incarnation will become the second Yuanying, which can fully feed itself, sort out various forks in the road and save itself, and lead itself back on track.

It can be seen that Taoist Qingji is very thoughtful and has not given up hope of making further progress.

His determination to pursue the Tao completely overshadowed his romantic relationship with Taoist nun Qingsu. This is what a true Taoist practitioner looks like!
Lin Shan looked at the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, his expression relaxed, and he pressed its shoulder blade with a smile.

"Why are you so excited? I was just asking casually. Don't you know anything?"

"When I return, I will find a college to study and catch up on my knowledge so that I will no longer be illiterate."

"That mysterious embryo of Silence should have been kept by Taoist Qingji and nurtured. It is estimated that it has turned into ashes along with him."

The Grand Elder of Zhenyue Sect and the Lord of Xuchan Cave nodded. This kind of thing should indeed be put into the body to be nurtured, just like the natal magic weapon.

If one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper; it is unlikely that one will stay.

However, they overlooked one point.

The Mysterious Embryo of Silent Destruction must indeed be kept inside the body and nurtured like the natal magic weapon.

But if you put it directly in your own magic weapon, wouldn't it be possible to nurture both of them together?
Although the two brothers were from an academy, they were not omniscient. When they heard about this kind of thing for the first time, they could not help but marvel at it and felt sorry for Lin Shan.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was still in doubt. He always felt that Lin Shan would not ask without a purpose. Since he asked, he must be hiding something from him.

However, Lin Shanniao ignored it. He had already put the Mysterious Bow of Extinction into his storage bracelet, and picked up the other two magic weapons to check.
