Immortal Road.

Chapter 516 Bloodline Purification, Life Magical Treasure
I stayed at the Lujiang League headquarters for half a day and had a brief chat with Master Yang and others.

Lin Shan did not stay for too long and took his men away directly. He felt more at ease leaving the affairs of the alliance to them.

He rushed all the way back to Tianfu Mountain and arrived at his old nest and base camp.

Searching for ancient teachings.

The size of this sect is now growing larger and larger, because the Yang family once donated a large amount of resources and industries, and it has now reached a thousand members!

A thousand people, this number is basically the limit of a sect's virtuous cycle.

To support so many disciples, spiritual veins, spiritual stones, spiritual medicines, and spiritual materials are consumed in piles every day.

The key is to have enough elders to teach, pass on the Dharma, and even assign tasks so that they can work or go out to gain experience.

If there are not enough tasks and no output, it is equivalent to supporting idle people.

Therefore, the sects that cultivate Taoism generally take the elite route. Those with poor qualifications and talents are mostly not worth training, and too many people will instead drag down the sect.

Only top-level sects with numerous spiritual veins and diverse inheritances can have the scale of a sect with tens of thousands of people!

In addition, in certain special circumstances, such as during wartime, when the three demonic sects launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty, they would recruit a large group of independent cultivators as cannon fodder.

Normally, the magic sect also has a certain admission threshold.

Since Lin Shan had secured his position as the leader of the Lujiang League and there were two formation masters in the Xun Gu Sect, they specifically recruited "fresh graduates" from all the major academies in the State of Lu.

As for why they don't recruit people from the cultivation world, they specifically want "fresh graduates".

This, everyone who understands will understand, no explanation needed.

Although the sect has a total of thousands of people, only one-third of them are stationed in Tianfu Mountain, and most of them are out on missions.

Some followed Mu Yan and Gao Zuoda to attack Chixiao City and Happy Forest, some went to the Lin's Chamber of Commerce to open up channels in various places, and some were mining mineral and forestry resources outside.
Of course, there is also a most secretive group of people, who are personally supervised by the general manager Lu Xiuming, and go to various places to collect antiques.

When he brought his men back, Brother Ji looked up and down Tianfu Mountain.

"The scenery is nice, and the spiritual veins are okay, but why are there so few people here? It's so deserted."

The sect that Brother Ji imagined should be a sect where the leader raises his arm and calls for help, and everyone responds! Everyone exudes a fanatical atmosphere, and the scene is bustling and dark clouds are pressing down on the city.

Why does this Xun Gu Sect look like a secluded monastic sect?
Lin Shan knew that the foundation of his territory was still shallow. At present, whether it was the scenery or the spiritual veins, it certainly could not be compared with the Peacock Royal Family where Brother Ji used to be.

As a second-generation demon, it is normal for Brother Ji to have high standards and look down on his own small temple.

"If you start out on your own now, you should keep a low profile in the early stages of establishing a religion, especially in a country like Lu. Being too ostentatious is simply courting death."

"In the Demonic Kingdom, people who don't like you will also come and beat you up. You must not act arrogantly."

"As the saying goes, build high walls, store up food, and slowly become king. Slowly developing is the kingly way. There are thousands of years of great factions above your head, so don't cross the line when doing things."

"You can learn from the experience of my sect. The path that predecessors have taken is definitely more reliable than exploring on your own."

Brother Ji nodded, and the pig-headed monster next to him was not surprised. After all, he was the Demon Commander of Hell who led the army, and it seemed that he was not interested in such petty fights.

Came to the main hall on the mountain.

Send a message to the higher-ups in the church, and then wait for them to arrive.

After a while.

Master Zhan Kong, Lu Xiuming, Wu Hanqiao, Li Yuanjie and others came to attend.

"Where is Elder Hei Ku?"

Not seeing the Black Skull Demon Lord, Lin Shan asked casually.

"Master, Elder Hei Ku is still refining a magic weapon and cannot be away."

As for what kind of magic weapon is so difficult to refine, it is most likely one's own natal magic weapon.

"Then we won't have to wait for him. Let me introduce them to you first. These two are Brother Chicken and Pig-Headed Monster. They are the two young masters of the demon tribe that I have brought with me. You should take them around the sect more often and familiarize them with the operation and organizational structure of the sect!"

Lin Shan introduced them to them first. After all, he didn't have time to take these two guys around, and they would have to rely on his subordinates to help them get familiar with the place.

Brother Chicken holds his wings across his chest, saluting:
"Ji Wuque, nice to meet you all."

The pig-headed monster, with his ears covering his face, also bowed:

"Zhu Ganglie, I am polite."

Everyone was horrified and speechless.

A monster that can speak human language, could it be a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage?

Lin Shan explained that this was his friend in the demon clan, not a demon king, so you just need to treat him well and not be negligent in the slightest.

Master Zhankong and others found it quite strange to see the monster saluting them, but they still returned the salute seriously and introduced their names.

After some familiarity, let’s get to the point.

During the time that Lin Shan was away, there was basically no change, and the Xun Gu Sect's main focus was still on development.

After Master Zhan Kong had stabilized his Jindan stage, he began to recruit apprentice formation masters and built up a considerable makeshift team.

The bad debts of the Lin Chamber of Commerce in the periphery of the Lujiang River Basin were forcibly recovered by the various forces in the Lujiang League due to the strategy of decentralization of sub-agents.

Those debtors were under too much pressure and were unable to resist the debt collection from the entire Lujiang League. They suffered heavy losses at once.

The Ginkgo Cave Monkey Wine, which is located in the forbidden area on the cliff, has gradually opened up the market in western Shandong and become another business of the family.

Lin Shan then picked out the seeds of spiritual flowers and herbs that he had obtained from the back garden of the Jianjia Demon King in the Luosong Mountains, and left the specific management of the garden to his subordinates.

Anyway, the spirit stones he earned were basically used to maintain the operation of the Xun Gu Sect. He had killed so many powerful enemies along the way that he no longer needed spirit stones.

The sect has thousands of people to support, so the expense is huge.

The reason for forming a force is nothing more than running errands for oneself and collecting intelligence. As long as one can be self-sufficient, the talents under one's command will also be worry-free.

"Currently, the northern leader Mu and the leader Gao are in a stalemate, and are fighting openly and secretly with the people sent by the merchants from the cultivation families."

Lu Xiuming reported everything and finally talked about the matters of Chixiao City and Happy Forest.

Lin Shan nodded without comment. He had already heard about it from Master Yang at the Lujiang League headquarters, and he had no intention of getting to know the details in depth.

"Let them make their own decisions. You can find out what support they need from within the sect. I will be in seclusion for a while. You should guide the two young masters of the demon clan to familiarize themselves with the environment."

He entrusted Brother Chicken and the Pig-Headed Monster to the task and became a hands-off boss.

Lu Xiuming asked cautiously:
"So how long will your retreat last?"

"It will take at least ten years, and there is no upper limit. If you encounter something you can't handle, just let Elder Hei Ku and Elder Zhan Kong make the decision. There is no need to look for me."

Lin Shan gave Master Zhan Kong an affirmative look, and the latter nodded to indicate that he could rest assured.

Then, everything was arranged.

Lin Shan ended the meeting and returned to his own secret practice room alone.

Brother Ji jumped directly onto Lu Xiuming's shoulder and started asking questions chatteringly. Everyone walked out while talking and chatting.

In the quiet secret room, I lit some incense to calm my mind. Back at home, I was no longer afraid of external threats and could finally improve myself through seclusion.

Lin Shan took out the lotus seeds first. This was a treasure given to him by the Red Lotus Ancestor in the red maple forest.

The three demon kings of Luosong Mountains also instructed that this thing should be used up as quickly as possible and not shown to anyone, which shows how precious it is.

Moreover, the strengthening panel identified a sixth-level spiritual object for the first time. This treasure naturally needs to be used up as soon as possible and transformed into one's own strength.

The prerequisite for becoming a spiritual body is blood purification.

First, increase the concentration of wind-related blood in your body, which is equivalent to enhancing your wind-related talent in disguise, and will also greatly speed up the early stage of cultivation.

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

It will definitely save some time if you improve your talent first and then practice.

This lotus seed is backed by a reinforced panel, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. Just hold it in your hand and refine it.

This refining process took about three days and three nights.

The lotus seeds in his hand disappeared into thin air, and the blood in his body had turned light blue, mixed with bits of green light flowing through his meridians, illuminating all his internal organs.

At this moment, when I felt the wind spiritual energy between heaven and earth, I felt it was extremely clear and sharp, more than twice as good as before!
You know, he also had Grade A wind spiritual roots before!
As for his talent in the wind element, I'm afraid it's already the best in this lower world.

"If the bloodline is completely purified, the aptitude is equivalent to the superposition of Grade A spiritual roots. Then how terrifying would the aptitude of a true spiritual body be?"

Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh. He had previously thought that his aptitude for first-class spiritual roots was enough to make him look small compared to other mountains. However, he found that there were still steps to go above them. It was not worth being proud and complacent.

There are always people who are better than you.

And his good elder brother, Young Master Jiuyou, has cultivated a spiritual body. Besides, he is also a rich second-generation, so his cultivation speed is probably faster than his own!

"Brother, I don't know what it will be like when we meet next time."

Lin Shan suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart, an urgency to become stronger quickly.

Because he is making progress, others are also making progress.

The world does not revolve around any one person. The general trend is moving forward and geniuses are growing rapidly.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

Just at this moment, there was a report from outside the cave.

Soon, a small square box was handed in from outside, along with a sound transmission note.

"Brother, I have made your life-saving magic weapon for you. Thank you for fulfilling my mission! Don't forget my reward."

The voice of the Black Skull Demon Lord came from inside. It was not difficult to imagine the humble look on its face when it spoke, asking for credit and reward.

Lin Shan did not rush to reply, but opened the box first and prepared to inspect the goods.

The inside was padded with soft silk, and a hollow four-cornered pavilion stood quietly there. It had two floors and a plaque with the words "Fengbo Pavilion" hung on the top and under the eaves.

It is small and exquisite, square and only two inches in size.

Pick up the pavilion and hold it in your hand, with the yellow afterglow outside the window shining on it, it has a unique ancient charm.

【Fengbo Pavilion】

Quality: Magical weapon

Introduction: Thirty-six magical prohibitions, a multifunctional magic weapon, made of Wind-Fixing Beads and Dian Cang Stone Mother as main materials, integrating defense, assistance and suppression.

(Special Effect: Ding Fengbo)
Enhancement required: 64 points

With the introduction of the enhanced panel, Lin Shan immediately had an idea in his mind and realized that he was about to usher in an all-round improvement.

The natal soul treasure 'Soul-Severing Blade' is an ultimate killer, and the natal magic treasure 'Wind Wave Pavilion' is a multi-functional auxiliary. After both are successfully nurtured and bound to oneself, the strength will definitely be different from before!

The special effect of this life-saving magic weapon, 'Fixing Wind Waves', is also understandable. It is probably inherited from the fifth-level spiritual material 'Fixing Wind Pearl'.

Strolling leisurely in the midst of various storms is a useful feature on special occasions. It is dispensable on ordinary days and is suitable for extreme environments.

After playing with it in his hand for a long time, Lin Shan sent it into his dantian.

"good."

Overall, I am very satisfied. The addition of two super-level spiritual materials makes it absolutely top-notch among top-level magic weapons, and it is probably not inferior even to ancient treasures.

The thirty-six magic prohibitions should have been nurtured for seventy-two years. However, with the current quality of magic power and soul power, a first-grade golden elixir and eighty-one soul elixir, nurturing only took a quarter of the time.

Only eighteen years.

If I can break through to the middle stage of Jindan early during this period, the time can be shortened again.

He took out a sound transmission note and typed a response into it.

"You did a great job. Next, help me find a pill that can help me break through the bottleneck of the early Jindan stage. Send it to me as soon as you find it. I will tell you the reward after I come out of seclusion."

Then, the sound transmission note passed through the wall and disappeared.

another side.

Tianfu Mountain, Equipment Refining Hall.

The Black Skull Demon Lord was wandering around the Sword Washing Pool, waiting for Lin Shan's reply. His pace back and forth made people dizzy, while Master Zhankong at the side was still chattering on to persuade him.

There were only two of them in the entire hall.

"I now have nearly a hundred formation apprentices under my command, many of whom are newly recruited top graduates from the academy. They are very malleable. Elder Hei Ku, please select some of them to lead!"

"I don't have time. Can't you see I'm busy? I just finished!"

"We can't do it alone. We often need subordinates to help us lay out the formation base and bury the formation materials, or even sit in the formation and take orders. It's time to train more teams."

"No, I'm not interested in Labandi."

The Black Skull Demon Lord was completely focused on plucking the wool from the mountain goats. He was very impatient with Master Zhankong's nagging, but was too embarrassed to chase him away.

It really wanted to say loudly that it was different from other formation masters. It had an army of skeletons at its disposal and did not need any help from apprentices in setting up or controlling the formation.

However, I cannot reveal my identity, so I can only make excuses here.

Master Zhan Kong couldn't understand. No matter how skilled a formation master was, if he didn't have any apprentices to help him, how could he handle the work alone?
Besides, don’t you also have the skill of refining weapons?

"Elder Hei Ku, I will help you take care of the formation apprentice first. Do you want a weapon refining apprentice? You will need servants to help you with chores! Pull the bellows, quench, grind, polish, and even..."

"No, no, I don't need any of this! I am enough!"

The Black Skull Demon Lord was extremely annoyed and anxious.

Just at this moment, a sound transmission note flew in from outside, burning fiercely in front of it, and Lin Shan's voice came through completely.

"You did a great job. Next, help me find a pill that can help me break through the bottleneck of the early Jindan stage. Send it to me as soon as you find it. I'll tell you the reward after I come out of seclusion."
