Immortal Road.

Chapter 535: Xiaodie's Transformation, Possessed by Spirits

"what?"

The man was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.

After realizing that the disguise had not fallen off, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Because although Lin Shan revealed her true identity, he only did it secretly and did not expose it in public.

"You scared me to death. Who did you learn this from, Brother Lin?"

Sailor Moon patted her chest, seeming to be still in shock.

Lin Shan couldn't help but glance at her chest in confusion, and found that not only did Sailor Moon change her appearance, but even this part of her chest became ordinary.

"Where are you looking?"

When Shui Bingyue saw that his pupils had not yet dispersed, she was so frightened that she quickly covered her chest, looking very flustered.

Lin Shan withdrew his gaze, the bright light in his eyes disappeared, and he became restrained.

He replied lazily.

"Sorry, I'm just curious."

"I"

Sailor Moon was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Zhong Shenxiu who was standing by noticed something was wrong, especially when his second brother suddenly used his pupil technique to spy on the young man in white, which confused him.

"Second brother, who is he?"

"Who else could it be? Sailor Moon!"

Although Lin Shan didn't tell anyone else, there was no need to hide it from him.

"Oh? Water Fairy!"

Zhong Shenxiu turned around and tried to message Shui Bingyue, but she ignored him completely.

Just asking Lin Shan.

"Brother Lin, do you still have Condensing True Ink? If you do, I want all of it!"

"What do you want this for?"

"What else can I do? Give it to Xiaodie to drink, of course!"

"Hey, you actually remembered to feed Xiaodie."

Lin Shan's words almost made Sailor Moon laugh!
My own companion spirit beast, how could I not remember it?
If Zhong Shenxiu hadn't spread the rumor that I had the Void Butterfly, would I have let him stay with you?

It is said that ever since they returned to the main world from Xiaoyi Island, Zhong Shenxiu, as expected, secretly spread the news that Sailor Moon possessed the Void Butterfly!

Before other forces could investigate, the old fellow inside Jingyang Academy could no longer sit still and asked Shui Bingyue directly about the matter.

Of course Sailor Moon would never admit it!

The Void Butterfly is a legendary creature. Not to mention that she is in the Golden Core stage, even if she is in the Nascent Soul stage, she cannot protect it!

Once someone discovers that she is a companion spirit beast, there is no way to unbind her. No matter what, she will be enslaved and made to work like a slave for generations.

Fortunately, she had foresight and placed the child in Lin Shan's care as a precautionary measure, so it was easy for her to prove her innocence.

After Jingyang Academy found out that it was a rumor, they clarified it for her to avoid attracting the attention of top powers.

But Zhong Shenxiu was a relentless guy who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. He always stabbed Shui Bingyue in the back from time to time, making her hate her to the core but she could do nothing about it.

Therefore, when he sees Zhong Shenxiu now, he is too lazy to pay any attention to him and just treats him as air.

"Xiaodie is growing up now, you can't just feed it the Phantom Spirit Liquid all the time! You should give it priority to the good stuff like Condensed True Ink instead of wasting it."

Lin Shan sat there without moving, telling her not to meddle in other people's business and to use his things however she wanted. Even if it was wasted, it was his wish!

Do I need you to teach me how to do things?
After he returned to Lu, he also heard related rumors, so he guessed that Shui Bingyue would not dare to take back the Void Butterfly at this time and had to foster it with him, so he was fearless.

Even the offerings to Xiaodie have been cut in recent years, and now it’s enough to just not starve to death.

Its beautiful name is:

"The sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree is still growing, so we can't draw too much blood from it."

In other words, it's like 'the company is in a recession right now, so we can only cut your salary, please bear with us.'

To be a capitalist, one must know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and find ways to exploit and squeeze in order to maximize one's own profits.

This is actually true.

The sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree has not been able to grow any more branches since it was plucked out by Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord. Part of the reason for this must be that it was constantly bleeding.

Seeing that the laying hen couldn't lay eggs, Lin Shan naturally had to find a way, so he had to apologize to Xiaodie.

Fortunately, Xiaodie was relatively sensible. She had been with the sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree for so long that they had developed a certain affection for it. She couldn't bear to see it being bled all the time, so she agreed.

Since then, Lin Shan found the red jade spiritual soil in the red maple forest of Luosong Mountain Range. The saplings of the ancient phantom tree got enough nutrition and grew rapidly!
At the same time, forked branches also began to sprout, and the growth was very pleasing.

No one knows whether the Void Butterfly has drunk too much Phantom Spirit Liquid and is undergoing transformation over the years, but it has been sleeping on the ancient Phantom Spirit Tree and cannot wake up.

Even when Sailor Moon came to Lin Shan, she didn't move.

"I'm not kidding you. I can sense that Xiaodie is in a transformation period recently. The spiritual fluid you feed it determines what kind of talents and abilities it will gain after the transformation."

Sailor Moon looked serious. She could sense Xiaodie's condition through her induction, so she came over to inform him.

"I feed whatever I want, why are you making so much trouble?"

Lin Shan waved his hands impatiently. It’s fine if I help you raise a pet, but I also want to take care of how to add points to the talent skill tree?

Do you really think that the fourth-level spiritual liquid is like cabbage and you can drink whatever you want? You can be happy if you have endless spiritual liquid!

"You can't drink it all day, for decades, right? Can't you change your taste?"

"Then you come and change it, I don't care!"

It’s not that Lin Shan doesn’t have other spiritual liquids on hand, but they cannot be wasted. They are all non-renewable resources, so the less they are used, the less they will be.

Unexpectedly, Sailor Moon was so generous and directly gave Lin Shan a storage bag.

"It contains various spiritual liquids that I have collected over the years. Please take care of Xiaodie. Thank you for your concern."

"Um???"

Lin Shan took the bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

There are actually more than a dozen fourth-level spiritual liquids in it!

Although the portions are not large, some have less than half a bottle, and can only be considered a snack at best, for Void Butterfly to sip occasionally, but it is definitely enough to change the taste!

"Where did you get so many different kinds of spiritual fluid?"

"Don't worry about this. I have my own channels."

"But the amount of each is too small. Isn't it too unrealistic for you to want to change your talents and abilities with just this little bit?"

Lin Shan felt that the portion was too small and was of no use except as a snack.

Sailor Moon also agreed with him, so she said that it was just for Xiaodie to use as a snack. If there was new spiritual liquid in the future, it would be delivered to her in time.

"Oh?"

Lin Shan was moved.

Sailor Moon went to so much trouble to collect spiritual fluid just to improve the taste of the Void Butterfly?
This kind of maternal love and pampering is indeed something Lin Shan cannot learn. He can't help but look at her with admiration. This woman is sometimes quite surprising.

"Brother Lin, thank you for taking care of Xiaodie all these years. In fact, I came here not only to give Xiaodie the spiritual liquid, but also to thank you."

Then he gave Lin Shan two small sticks wrapped in cloth.

Lin Shan reached out and took it, and the strengthening panel popped up directly. Mingshe Tushita Flag!
"This item can only play its greatest role in your hands. It is really wrong for me to hold it for so long. Now it may not be too late to help you."

It's more than just in time!
It’s just the right time!

There were originally twelve Ming Snake Tushita flags, and when connected together they formed a set of top-level magic weapons. A complete Ming Snake Demon Formation must be much stronger than one that was barely built with ten flags!
When fighting for the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Milk in the underground cave, Lin Shan and Shui Bingyue each got six strokes, and later they negotiated and exchanged them for four strokes, and now they are finally all there!

His expression relaxed now, he put away the two small flags and said thank you.

"No need to do that. I haven't had time to thank Brother Lin for taking care of Xiaodie over the years. If you have the opportunity to come to Jingyang Academy in the future, Bingyue will definitely treat you well."

The two of them were transferring things, which surprised Zhong Shenxiu and Yang Zhenren next to them. They were watching like curious babies.

Master Yang is fine, he knows what to ask and what not to ask.

Zhong Shenxiu had no worries. Seeing that Sailor Bingyue ignored him after greeting him many times, he had no choice but to continue looking for Lin Shan after being rejected.

"Brother, what did Sailor Moon give you?"

"Third brother, this has nothing to do with you. Stop asking about those things and just create more trouble for Sailor Moon!"

Lin Shan's impression of Sailor Moon improved slightly, and he was also quite happy to see Zhong Shenxiu increase her strength.

If this guy hadn't spread the news everywhere, causing Sailor Moon a headache, would she have been able to keep Xiaodie here with her?

Therefore, let the rumors continue to spread, so that I will have a reason and excuse to continue keeping the Void Butterfly.

Lin Shan has figured out the trick of keeping the enemy at bay.

Sailor Bingyue had no doubts and continued to tell Lin Shan about her previous experiences and insights in raising Xiaodie, telling him everything she knew.

After all, it is his own spirit beast, so of course he is very concerned about it and teaches it selflessly.

Lin Shan listened carelessly and didn't know how much he remembered. Shuiyue felt very uncomfortable when she saw this, but there was nothing she could do.

"Narcissus, I remember that your Jingyang Academy is also closed, right? How did you sneak out to give me something?"

One listens and the other speaks.

Being interrupted unexpectedly, Sailor Moon had no choice but to reply to him.

"I told the elders that I would help them to watch the opening ceremony of Hongdu Academy and personally understand whether it is qualified to become one of the top ten academies."

Anyway, the rhetoric was exactly the same as Zhong Shenxiu's. The Hongdu New Mansion was just a target, and neither of them took it seriously.

The older generation of Jingyang Academy were quite happy when they heard this. They thought that Shui Bingyue had suddenly come to her senses and realized how to help share the burden of the academy, so they let her out.

"So when you said you wanted to help me write a poem, could it be that you were giving me the congratulatory seal from your Jingyang Academy?"

"Brother Lin is really smart. He understood it immediately."

"Since you have prepared the congratulatory message, why do you want to hide your identity?"

Lin Shan was a little confused.

At this moment, Sailor Moon's expression suddenly became serious, and she signaled him to just listen and not look away.

"There is an old man in a row behind you. He is Puchang Zhenren from Mixianling. Have you recognized him before?"

"."

Lin Shan didn't turn his head, he knew who Sailor Moon was referring to without even thinking.

But he still shook his head and told her that he was not familiar with her and only remembered that she seemed to have been possessed by someone else.

Shui Bingyue lowered her head to explain, fearing that she would be noticed by Patriarch Puchang.

"I sense a faint sense of familiarity in this person, and he is extremely dangerous. Based on all my memories, I suspect that he is most likely one of our old enemies."

"Our old enemy?"

Lin Shan was surprised at the woman's keen sense of smell.

"Yes, it is the Ming Snake Demon King!"

Lin Shan pretended to be shocked.

"How is it possible? After we broke the old snake's body, didn't it flee back to the Star Devouring Mountains? Why did it sneak into the human world?"

"You don't know this. A while ago, there was a beast tide in the Star-Swallowing Mountains. Jiangning City. The snake demon king."

Sailor Moon explained the whole story, and it was basically the same as what Zhong Shenxiu said.

Then he went straight to the point and told Lin Shan his thoughts.

“Brother Lin, the Ming Snake Demon King is our mortal enemy! Now that we know its hidden identity, we must strike first and not just sit there and wait for death!”

Although Sailor Moon is a woman, she is decisive and ruthless in killing.

He invited Lin Shan to join him in killing the Ming Snake Demon King.

"I am leaving the mountain this time because I have no one to help me. I have to act in secret, so I need Brother Lin's care. After the mission is accomplished, the relics of the Ming Snake Demon King will be divided into 30% and 70%, with 30% for me and 70% for you!"

For a moment, Lin Shan was a little at a loss!
Ok!

Familiar template, familiar recipe.

Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere before?

Just recently, his good third brother Zhong Shenxiu was discussing how to surround and kill the Ming Snake Demon King together, also with a 30:70 split.

Turning around, it's another 3:7 split!

If I add up the two 3:7 splits, will I make a profit or not?

Lin Shan fell into deep thought, wondering how to take this order.

Seeing that he didn't agree for a long time, Shui Bingyue thought he must have misunderstood and hurriedly urged him.

"Brother Lin, what else is there to think about! The Ming Snake Demon King is our mortal enemy. Are you going to wait for it to recover to the Nascent Soul stage and then turn around to cause trouble for us?"

At this point in the scene, the seal-presenting activity ended and the banquet officially began.

There was singing and dancing, playing of various musical instruments, and all the well-rehearsed performances were brought to the stage.

Master Yang was drinking and watching the performance, but Zhong Shenxiu had no interest in it at all and just stared at his good brother.

Sailor Moon is troublesome enough, but this kid is also not quiet.

"Second brother, look at that Shang Ding from the Shang family. He keeps looking at us. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like this old guy has bad intentions towards you. Is he planning to ambush you on the way back?"

"Well, it would be best if he came. I'm worried that I won't have the chance to deal with him!"

Lin Shan responded calmly, trying to please both sides.

I was chatting with Zhong Shenxiu here and there, and I had to reply to Sailor Moon over there.

"The Ming Snake Demon King should have taken over another body for the second time, so his true strength should have dropped again. We may have an easier time than last time."

"No, quite the opposite!"

Shui Bingyue took this very seriously and told him that generally one can only possess another's body once and it is impossible to do so a second time. This is an iron rule in the world of cultivation.

The body of the Ming Snake Demon King was destroyed by the two of them when they were fighting for the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, so it is impossible for him to continue to possess someone else's body now.

The only possible explanation is possession!

There are many kinds of identities.

Possessed people, possessed objects, possessed spirits, possessed thoughts.
The last type mostly refers to extraterritorial demons, which possess the host's emotions and thoughts and cause trouble to the host.

"The Ming Snake Demon King is obviously not a possessed person who has changed his appearance. That would be too flawed, so it can only be a possessed object!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the one possessing me is a spirit from heaven and earth!"
