Immortal Road.

Chapter 440: Unconventional Ways, Ezo's Change of Appearance

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe hesitated again this time, because this job was a bit dirty and he was afraid of hidden dangers when doing it.

"Collecting the tablets of the ancestors of other holy places? Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

No matter which force it is, if they find out that the tablet of their ancestor has been visited by someone else, they will probably be extremely angry.

Although the mermaid tribe's business is not big, they still have to survive in the East China Sea and really don't want to make enemies with others.

Lin Shan's tone paused. He had taken it for granted before and thought that the East China Sea Holy Land no longer existed. He didn't expect to hear from the mermaids that it seemed that the people as rumored still existed.

But the question is, since there are still people, why are the tablets of their ancestors scattered around?

Even in the forbidden area on the cliffs of the distant Lu State, one piece can be found. Could it be that it flew there by itself?
He felt that some unknown secret must have happened here long ago, but unfortunately there were too few clues and he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

The other mermaid elder in the Jindan stage below didn't care. He agreed directly and told his chief elder not to panic.

"If I remember correctly, two centuries ago, when the East Sea Turtle Master was still alive, there was a grand gathering on Diaobie Island in the East China Sea, and someone offered the tablet of the founder of the Penglai Holy Land. But there was no trouble from Penglai for the Turtle Master, so there should be no need to worry."

When he said this, some elders of the merman tribe also had an impression and nodded.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one cared, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Okay, no problem. If we find any information about the tablet of the founder of the Penglai Holy Land, we will help Fellow Daoist Lin get it back. If we can't get it back, we will also give you the information and let you decide for yourself."

"it is good!"

Lin Shan was overjoyed. Now that he had the help of the local tyrants from East China Sea, he was finally not completely in the dark.

"When you are trying to find out, please be careful. After all, the current strength of the Penglai Holy Land is unknown. Be careful not to offend or anger others unintentionally. If that happens..."

He kindly reminded the mermaids to be cautious and not to get into any big trouble. At this stage, he was just trying to get some information, and he didn't dare to actually go to the Penglai Holy Land.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe waved his hand and told him not to worry. The mermaid tribe has always been very cautious in their actions, and gathering intelligence is something they are best at.

Because among all the tribes in the East China Sea, the most commonly used maids are mermaids, so they have intelligence spies in all major forces.

"Since we know that Master Gui has a tablet of the ancestors, then according to the clues circulating in various sea areas, I will send people to the outer sea tomorrow to look for Master Gui's remains and find the tablet for you as soon as possible!"

In order to demonstrate his decisiveness, the chief elder of the mermaid tribe said this specifically to reassure Lin Shan.

"Uh"

Lin Shan didn't know what to say
I really want to tell him that there is no need to waste manpower to look for Master Gui, as I have already got the piece myself.

But it was not convenient to say it out loud, so I just nodded to express my gratitude.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe originally thought that Lin Shan wanted their tribe to do something big, but he didn't expect that it was just this, so he was relieved.

Of course, Lin Shan didn't have any more requests, nor could he make any demands on them. After all, the mermaids only had such limited strength, which was nothing in the Song Dynasty.

Besides, as an Inhuman, you can only wander around in the sea. If you dare to go ashore to cause trouble, you are simply seeking death.

Fortunately, the mermaids are not very powerful, but they have the most well-informed intelligence, so we have found the right person.

Lin Shan only stayed here for one night and without wasting too much time, he decided to set off as soon as possible.

Although the chief elder of the mermaid tribe wanted to migrate to another location as soon as possible, as this place was unsafe now that it had been exposed, after seeing Lin Shan's strength, he wanted to entertain him for a few more days to deepen their relationship and get closer to him.

Lin Shan declined outright. He didn't have time to eat, drink and have fun here, even though the mermaid women all looked extremely charming.

Although the chief elder of the mermaid tribe was reluctant to give him his own granddaughter, he specially selected ten other women in the tribe to give to him.

"These girls admire Brother Lin's profound magical powers and want to serve him personally. We will accept them as maids in the cave and sweep the dust and take care of the daily life. Please don't despise them!"

Lin Shan sneered in his heart. You just told me yesterday that the leaders of various forces in the East China Sea have spies from your mermaid tribe by their pillows. So you want to plant one by my pillow today, right?

He has so many secrets that he doesn't need anyone to take care of him.

Besides, even if we give it to him, he can't take it away.

He has things to do in the Song Dynasty, so he must do it in secret. Why does he bring a group of maids with him?

"No need. I have something important to attend to, so it's not convenient for me to bring an attendant with me. If you have anything to say, you can contact your granddaughter through the summoning channel."

Because of her connection with Lin Shan, the mermaid girl was once again valued by her tribe members and became a hot figure in the tribe. Her status soared, which made the mermaid chief elder very pleased.

The only thing that made him uncomfortable was that most people in the tribe believed that this girl had given herself to Lin Shan and her bloodline was no longer pure, which made him very distressed.

"Just send it here. Great Elder, please go back. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Lin Shan rose into the air out of the sea, breathing in the ocean breeze heartily. He waved to the mermaids who were seeing him off on the sea, and flew away gracefully turning into a rainbow.

The chief elder of the mermaid tribe turned around and found that his granddaughter was still staring at the rainbow light. He couldn't help but hit her with a blow out of frustration.

"Leave, still watching!"

"Oh oh oh"

The mermaid girl rubbed her head, looking dazed, and didn't know when Lin Shan would remember to summon her next time.

Unconsciously, she had made waiting for the call something she thought about every night.

Flying all the way across the vast East China Sea.

On the way to Linshan, he took out the deer head of ancestor Lu Que and examined it, and the enhanced panel identification appeared.

【East Sea Soul Deer Head】

Quality: Fourth-level soul treasure

Introduction: The soul treasure made from the head of the East China Sea Soul Deer can be transplanted into different creatures. In some special worlds, it is called "cloning treasure". It helps to enhance the power of soul magic and can be used to perform soul magic remotely.

Enhancement Required: 64 points (Owned items cannot be enhanced)

The East China Sea Soul Deer should be a monster unique to the East China Sea and has never been heard of in other areas before.

"Soul treasure? In some worlds, it's called colonization treasure?"

This was the first time that Lin Shan heard of this term. The development branches of immortal civilization were different in different worlds, and the concept of colonial clothing would naturally be studied specifically by immortal cultivators.

There are countless talented people in the world and three thousand unconventional ways, so some things are not surprising.

It is not out of reach to transplant the essence of animal bones from different monsters and use them on yourself to increase your strength and talent.

It sounds a bit like a fantasy, but it is actually very feasible. For example, in ancient books, it is said that the ancient human saint emperor was born with some kind of "supreme bone" that could be dug out and transplanted to his brother. I don't know whether it is true or not.

However, because this thing has never been accepted by the orthodox, and the technology has not been mature, it has not been listed as one of the six arts of cultivation and can only be classified as a unorthodox technique.

"It can't be strengthened yet!"

An item with an owner means that this treasure is similar to a life soul treasure, and it cannot be forcibly taken away unless the owner dies.

The key is.

The blue light that shot out from the eyes of the deer head that Lin Shan had always coveted, and the mysterious power that took away the two souls of the great elder of the mermaid tribe, actually did not exist!

The great elder of the mermaid tribe lost two souls in a battle in the deep sea, and it will take a long time for him to recover, or he may not be able to recover.

Things related to the soul have always been very mysterious, and have not been studied in depth in this world. If there are no relevant soul treasures or holy medicines, sequelae are inevitable.

Fortunately, his two souls were only destroyed, not wiped out, and the roots are still in his body, so there is hope if they are nourished.

There is also a derivative of the antlers on the head, which can freeze the Blue Sea Tide in the deep sea whirlpool, but it is also not reflected in the enhancement panel.

That means there is only one possibility.

Those two secret techniques were mastered by ancestor Lu Que himself. The deer head was just a medium. He could use it to cast spells across the ocean. The key was that the power was ridiculously great!

"So, I can't use this thing?"

Lin Shan fiddled with it for a long time, and you can imagine how depressed he felt.

What a crap breeding treasure this is. Not only is it bound, but it also has no magical powers to refer to. It's completely useless.

He shook his head and put the thing away. He would take it to the Black Skull Demon Lord after returning to Lu State and let him take a closer look. With his master's vision as a weapon refiner, he probably could tell what this kind of treasure, which was similar to a soul treasure, was like.

Next we headed south along the coast, speeding all the way.

We quickly passed by all the major sea areas and took in all the scenery.

Lin Shan thought that it was not easy to come here anyway, so he took a detour to the heart of the East China Sea and took a look at the Ezo Sea where he had preached for a year and a half.

The Ezo Sea is rich in various kinds of red and white shrimps, which are considered to be the most widely used food ingredients in the East China Sea cultivation world. The shrimp shells also have medicinal value.

The islands were once occupied by various independent cultivators. Those in the foundation-building stage occupied the big islands, those in the Qi training stage occupied the small islands, and they proclaimed themselves as island owners and engaged in sea fishing or breeding.

The East China Sea is like this, with many messy islands. If you really want to, you can find an ownerless island and become a free and easy island owner.

However, after the evil sect conquered the East China Sea, the independent cultivators scattered and the entire sea area became the territory of the Black Lotus Messenger.

Lin Shan personally conquered the stubborn "Black and Red Evils" and confiscated the breeding industry on Red Shrimp Island, and specially sent two younger brothers to take care of it for him.

So many years have passed, I wonder how it has developed?
His first stop was Red Shrimp Island in the Ezo Sea.

It turned out that the island was now much more prosperous, with nearly 10,000 fishermen on the island and fish ponds everywhere. There were more than ten monks living there permanently, leading and directing a group of mortals to engage in fish farming.

The scale has expanded by more than dozens of times!
Lin Shan was a little surprised that the change was so big!

He flew down to check and caught a cultivator in the Qi training stage to ask about the situation directly.

The Qi training monk was lying on a rattan chair, eating shrimp balls and crab paste sticks while directing the common people to feed the red shrimps in the pond. He seemed to be unfamiliar with it, but he also had some methodical skills, so he must have been trained.

After seeing a young man falling from the sky, he was so scared that his hands trembled, shrimps and crab sticks rolled all over the ground, and he immediately crawled over to meet the emperor.

"Excuse me, Senior, you have come to visit me. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"

The worst person who can fly is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Killing him is as easy as pie, especially in the East China Sea, a remote place. He is afraid that he will lose his life if he is not treated well. Many people will breed evil thoughts in a foreign place and magnify the evil consequences in their hearts.

Fortunately, Lin Shan didn't care about these empty words. He just told him to get up and say he had something to ask.

The cultivator in the Qi training stage immediately bowed his head respectfully, indicating that he would tell him everything he knew and would answer any questions he asked.

This young talent must be a true disciple of a major sect. I must seize the opportunity to show my abilities and not make any mistakes!

“Who is in charge of this place now? And who owns the aquaculture and fishing industries on the island?”

Lin Shan wanted to know who had succeeded him and why he was so successful.

"Replying to the senior, this place and the entire Ezo Sea area belong to the Great Song Dynasty's righteous sect, the Beast Taming Valley."

"Fifty percent of the island development rights in this sea area have been contracted by the large inland sect Qiufeng Valley."

"Red Shrimp Island happens to be an island developed by Qiufeng Valley. All industries on the island are run by Qiufeng Valley."

"So, you are also a disciple of Qiufeng Valley?"

"No, I am just a casual cultivator born and raised in the East China Sea. I applied to be hired to look after the Autumn Maple Valley in order to make a living."

Qiufeng Valley is a giant in the inland cultivation world in terms of medicinal materials, with countless industries. Ever since the three major sects of the Song Dynasty recaptured the East China Sea, they have also delegated the development rights to other places.

Qiufeng Valley saw the value of the Ezo Sea, so they contracted the entire area. However, they also had limited manpower, so they hired local cultivators from the East China Sea to look after the place.

While earning extra money, it also provides jobs, and independent practitioners in the East China Sea flock to it and compete to accept the job.

Even though it's just a few dollars and spirit stones a month, there are still many people scrambling to do it!
Who doesn’t like a job that allows you to do some lazy work?

He also provides food and accommodation, plenty of seafood, and has a large group of mortals to work with him. It's hard to describe how free he is.

You can do some special things from time to time, and the people who come to inspect from Qiufeng Valley will turn a blind eye and let you do whatever you want as long as you don't go too far.

I have shrimp sliders in my left hand and crab sticks in my right hand all day long, how delicious!
Lin Shan understood the whole story, nodded and said nothing more.

The past is gone. Now that my Chamber of Commerce in Lu State has grown bigger and stronger, there is no need to worry about this small industry.

Moreover, during the war between good and evil, he had captured the young leader of Autumn Maple Valley alive, exchanged the contribution points and spent them lavishly in the Black Lotus Sect. Later, he heard that this person was thrown into a frying pan and fried before the three sects of the Demonic Path attacked the Purple Sky Sect.

So pathetic!

The miserable young master of Qiufeng Valley!
Lin Shan has met a victim and does not want to have any entanglement with this side. The mere red shrimp industry is my apology. I hope that the spirit of the young master of Qiufeng Valley can rest in peace and be reborn into a good life soon.

However, he once heard the Black Skull Demon Lord tell him that a big shot in the hell world revealed that in the vast underworld, it is said that there are so many people waiting for reincarnation every day in all the heavens and worlds, and they are lined up to an unknown extent. How could there be more than billions?
It has only been a few years, the young leader of Qiufeng Valley is probably still in the queue.
It’s too early to think about reincarnation!
"Alas, we were in the enemy camp at that time. You are just unlucky."

Lin Shan left Hongxia Island, threw a mid-level magic weapon to the casual cultivator as a reward, and flew to his former nest, 'Ezo Island'.

It is not only the main island of the Ezo Sea, but also the place where he inherited the wealth of Master Kame and became rich overnight.
