Immortal Road.

Chapter 452: Kind-hearted, Lotus Pond

Lin Shan wasn't done yet. He not only took out the Demon King's Token, but also took out his own Cave Master's Token.

"I actually have a status in the demon tribe. I am in charge of the mountains and rivers within a 500-li area, and I have hundreds of demon soldiers under my command. You three brothers can call me the Lord of the Ginkgo Cave."

The white-eyed centipede, the red-eyed tapir, and the blue-eyed beaver were all confused. Their eyes flickered, and they felt like they couldn't think straight.

What's going on with this human? How come he still has a position in our demon clan's system and is paid a government salary?

"This is my identity token. You three can take a look at it."

Lin Shan was afraid that they would not believe him, so he threw his Ginkgo Cave Lord's token over to them, but he still held the demon king's token of the Kuihu demon king in his hand.

If the other party robs it and doesn't return it, the cave master's token is gone, and you can get a new one when you return to the cliff forbidden area. The demon king's token is a treasure and can't be handed over casually. It is necessary to be careful.

The three second-generation monsters put their heads together, muttering to each other as they looked at the cave master's token. They turned it over and over again several times and found that it was indeed a regular organization of the monster clan's public units, absolutely genuine!

They are princes and have more contact with monsters than ordinary monsters, so they can naturally distinguish the true from the false.

Strictly speaking, Lin Shan was neither big nor small, and was considered a high-ranking official in the demon clan!

As for the cave master, he is a provincial governor, the top local official, there is nothing wrong with him!

"So you have this status, it seems we misunderstood."

The three demons hesitated slightly, but with the facts before them, they had no choice but to believe his words and returned the cave master's token.

However, humans are humans after all. Even if you have an identity background among other demon kings, it is still a bit too much for you to come to our territory to plunder.

Lin Shan also understands the principle of knowing when to quit.

"I'm deeply sorry to have disturbed you for so long. After I capture the Phantom Ancient Tree, I will turn around and leave immediately without any delay!"

Seeing that he was so sensible, the three demons didn't want to force him too much, so they could only nod at the same time and follow him all the way deep underground.

Following the feeling, Lin Shan walked for more than a hundred miles with three local thugs following and monitoring him. He finally found a sapling of the ancient phantom tree in a corner.

The little fellow has found another spiritual soil, and is now taking root in it and absorbing the energy vigorously.

The three demons behind him had gleaming eyes and were restless.

Lin Shan walked forward, picked up the sapling with one hand, and secretly told it to suck it slowly when it returned, and to bear with it for now.

He then reached out and turned over the soil underneath, and sure enough, there was red gravel buried deep underground.

This time, in front of outsiders, he did not keep it all for himself. Instead, he collected all the red jade spiritual soil and turned around to give it to the white-eyed centipede.

"Brother Tianwu, I am sorry for causing you trouble by mistakenly entering this place. If you would not mind, please accept these red jade spiritual soils. It will be my apology."

The white-eyed centipede was dumbfounded. Two of its legs were supporting the red jade soil, and it didn't know where to put the remaining ninety-eight legs.

The red jade spiritual soil that we have been looking for so hard is so easy to get?

It's a bit unbelievable.

After all, this thing is not only extremely precious, but also extremely difficult to find.

If the three of them were left to grope and search in the red maple forest on their own, there was no way they could find the Fallen Demon King.

Even if we find it, this underground world is extremely complex, with countless roots densely packed together, each of which can easily spread for hundreds of miles, and the red jade spiritual soil is hidden deep underground in some corner.

Who can find this?

With the help of the phantom ancient trees, Lin Shan was able to locate the target easily and it was only a piece of cake to help them.

As the saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be grateful for what one has received. Before leaving, this human gave the three monsters a big gift package, and the three monsters felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, Master Ginkgo is too polite. I will be disrespectful to decline your offer."

The demons were not so cunning and reluctant, so they accepted it generously, and felt less alienated from Lin Shan.

Lin Shan was very satisfied when he saw the white-eyed centipede, while the red-eyed tapir and blue-eyed beaver next to him were envious. He felt something in his heart and waved his hands in a nonchalant manner.

"Brother Tianwu, you are being too polite. This red maple forest is originally your forest farm, and the red jade spiritual soil is also a treasure that belongs to you. I am just an outsider. I am honored to be able to help you."

"I think Brother Hong Mo and Brother Lan Li also need Red Jade Spiritual Soil, so I might as well find some for you two brothers before I leave."

"Meeting is fate, follow me!"

Lin Shan put the Phantom Ancient Tree down, and the sapling happily ran to the next destination.

The red-eyed tapir and the blue-eyed beaver opened their mouths and stammered as they thanked the human being. They didn't expect that this human being was so kind-hearted.

"I'm so sorry, we do need the red jade soil, please help, Lord Ginkgo Cave."

Lin Shan smiled and pulled up their claws, immediately turning into a social gangster, as if he was full of chivalry. People who didn't know him would think he was born kind-hearted.

"Hey, what are you talking about, brothers? It's not a bother, it's just a piece of cake!"

"My favorite thing in life is to make friends with heroes from all over the world. If there is a need, I will definitely help you. What's wrong with that?"

"Also, what is Ginkgo Cave Master? Why is he calling him so politely?"

"My last name is Lin Shan, you can just call me by my name."

After that, the Phantom Ancient Tree went around and explored many places. Most of the red jade spiritual soil had turned into red mud, which was rotten and smelly and seemed unusable.

Lin Shan wasn't quite sure about the nature of this spiritual soil. It seemed to have a shelf life.

While chatting with the three second-generation demons on the way, he also understood the general cause of the matter.

The Red Maple Forest opens once every two hundred years, and each demon king will allow the most promising descendants among their subordinates to come in and take a trip to the Demon Lotus Pond.

Demonic lotus pond.

Located in the central basin of the red maple forest, it is one of the treasures of the Luosong Mountains, otherwise it would not have been hidden by the demon kings, and the red maple forest would have been jointly blocked together.

This pool is said to contain rich 'lotus power', which can help the demon race transform their bones, purify their blood, improve their qualifications, and temper their demon fire!
The real effects are actually far more than that, and can be said to improve all aspects, but the most effective ones are these four!

Only the second generation of demons in each family can enjoy such blessings.

However, before leaving, the other demon kings received a message from the Jianjia Demon King, saying that if any of the younger ones had the opportunity to bring back some red jade spiritual soil for him, he would reward them with some benefits.

That's why these second-generation monsters are so interested in the red jade spiritual soil.

Lin Shan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The Reed Demon King estimated that the sea of ​​flowers that he had destroyed in the Dirty Poison Canyon before was the back garden of this old antique. As a demon king of the plant and wood spirit series, it was reasonable for him to need the red jade spiritual soil.

But he didn't think that just because the Phantom Spirit Ancient Tree could be found, others couldn't. Most likely, he was giving the young demons a chance as a test.

After that, they finally found a piece of intact spiritual soil. The sapling jumped on it and took two sips. Then Lin Shan pulled it up and secretly told it to go back and take more sips later, and not to rush.

He dug out this piece of red jade spiritual soil and gave it to the red-eyed tapir.

"Brother Red Tapir, this is for you. Let's go to the next place."

The red-eyed tapir was no longer jealous. Instead, its eyes glowed yellow. No one knew what the characteristics of this race were. It looked very mysterious.

"Brother Linlin is so kind, I'll accept it."

It didn't act pretentiously. It stretched out its claws and swallowed the gravel and soil into its stomach. It probably had storage space in its stomach.

Lin Shan let the sapling go searching again, and after half an hour, it found another place.

This time it was dug out and given to the blue-eyed beaver.

"Brother Lan Li, this is for you. Everyone has a share, so it's perfect."

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

The blue-eyed beaver raised its paw and bowed politely.

With only half a day left, they ran for who knows how many miles with the sapling of the ancient phantom tree before they found the last piece of red jade spiritual soil from a pile of expired red mud.

Lin Shan gave it to the three second-generation demons again, shook his head and sighed, then put the Phantom Ancient Tree back into the spirit beast ring.

"This should be the last one here. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I think it will be enough for you to report to the Jianjia Monster King after you return."

The three demons were all moved. They didn't expect Lin Shan to be so righteous, so they quickly declined.

"Brother Lin has already found one for each of us. You should keep the remaining one for yourself, so that your trip will not be in vain."

Lin Shan frowned and spoke righteously as he pushed the red jade spiritual soil in front of them.

"How can that be? This treasure is clearly from your territory. I am just offering it to you. How can I take it for myself?
This is not what a gentleman does, absolutely not!"

The three demons didn't expect that he was not only righteous but also had noble character. They sighed repeatedly and pushed him back.

“Although this thing grows in our territory, without Brother Lin’s help, it can only lie deep underground and wait to rot, and we can’t find any of it.

In order to repay your previous help, Brother Lin, please accept this piece of spiritual soil!"

"Yeah, one piece is enough for us."

"Your master's ancient phantom tree also needs this thing, so you can take it back and use it yourself."

Unexpectedly, these words not only failed to convince Lin Shan, but actually had the opposite effect!
Lin Shan had an unhappy look on his face, with his brows furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied with the fact that they were using worldly ways to insult his noble moral character.

"Three demon brothers, what you said is wrong!"

“The Master said: A gentleman has things he does and things he does not do; he knows what he can do and does it, and knows what he cannot do and does not do it.”

"One should know when to stop, when to speak, and when to be moderate in everything. Only then can one be a true man."

"If I take a share for you, what difference would that make me different from a robber who steals a bell while covering his ears?"

"This is absolutely unacceptable!"

The three second-generation demons were all dumbfounded. Although they had developed intelligence and could speak human language, had they ever attended any proper education?
Hearing Lin Shan talking about the Four Books and Five Classics, benevolence, righteousness, and morality, he felt that this man was a handsome young man, a gentleman with noble morals, and a heart of justice. He felt ashamed and lowered his head to avoid the danger.

"We misunderstood Brother Lin before. We almost put you in a position of disloyalty and injustice. We will accept this red jade spiritual soil. Please don't bear it in your heart!"

When Lin Shan saw them accept the last piece of spiritual soil, his anger turned into joy.

He immediately waved his sleeves, turned around and walked outside.

"I have finished my business here, and I should go back to report to my master. The three of you will say goodbye now. We will meet again someday if we are destined to do so."

The back view was as free and easy as it could be, just as a night had passed in the outside world.

The red sun was rising, and the sky was bright, pouring down to the bottom of the tree hole, leaving a smoky yellow passage that was neither too big nor too small, and one person wide.

Lin Shan stepped into the center, rising up towards the light path. There was an indescribable charm that made his figure feel extremely tall.

The three second-generation demons hurried over and flew out of the tree hole with him.

The ancient pine trees below gradually became smaller, and the surrounding forests appeared before our eyes. The sky was filled with rosy clouds, golden light extended, and the sky was steaming, creating a magnificent scene.

"Brother Lin, wait a minute. We are the hosts and we haven't even entertained you properly. How can you just leave like that?"

Lin Shan didn't want to get entangled with them too much. Anyway, he had already obtained four portions of spiritual soil before, and all the benefits were in his pocket. What was he waiting for if he didn't run away quickly?

Giving them a ride is also to gain their trust so that I can leave calmly.

But unexpectedly, the previous operation seemed to be a bit too much!

The three second-generation demons have had a high status and strong self-esteem since childhood. Today, they got help from Lin Shan for no reason and owed him such a big favor, so how could they let him go?
"Brother Lin, if you just walk away, how can we ever ask you to repay us for your kindness?"

"Oh my, now that we are here, and since we know each other, why don't you come to our cave and sit for a while and taste our specialties?"

"It's a rare opportunity to meet a human brother who suits my taste. I should introduce you to my father, and host a banquet for you, so that we can have a good time and drink together!"

Lin Shan looked at these three guys who came up to block him without saying a word, and dragged him one by one to visit their demon tribe. He was really getting overwhelmed!
Return a favor? Sure. I'll leave you my contact information. We can keep in touch in the future.

Go to your cave to taste the local specialties? What local specialties can a group of monsters have!
Do I need to introduce him to the Demon King? I am tired of living and I am going to see the Demon King. Is it because I think I am not dying fast enough or what?

He quickly declined, telling them that it was unnecessary, as he had important matters to attend to and could not stay long.

But the three second-generation demons refused to let him go no matter what and insisted on repaying him. It seemed that the previous performance left too good an impression on them, or perhaps his own identity as a demon also added points.

"Brother Lin, if you just leave like this, the three of us won't have a chance to repay you. It's very uncomfortable and itchy. How about this?"

As the leading demon, Tianwu proposed a compromise.

"It just so happens that we were originally planning to go to the sacred lotus pond in the middle of the red maple forest. How about you come with us? We'll take you in and give you a nice bath as a token of our gratitude. How about that?"

Red Tapir and Blue Cat also nodded. They didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so they took this opportunity to repay it.

Lin Shan was originally thinking about just using the Wind Escape Talisman to escape, so as to avoid being entangled, but suddenly he heard them say that they wanted to take him to take a bath.
Or is it a health care for the demon race?
Now he was moved!

The power of the lotus, the holy pool of the demon race, transforms the bones, purifies the blood, improves the qualifications, and tempers the demon fire.
Gou Ba has so many benefits, it sounds amazing and exciting to think about it!
"I am a human being, not a demon. Can I enter?"

He was a little bit unbelieving and pointed at himself and asked.

The Sky Centipede, Red Tapir, and Blue Lizard looked at each other and laughed together.

"Why not? This secret realm is jointly managed by us fathers. As long as we brothers nod, who dares to say no!"
