Immortal Road.

Chapter 603: Coffin Demon Hub, Mysterious Visitor

A person is flying in front, and a group of people is chasing him from behind.

There are flanking attacks all around!
Lin Shan and the other two were eating melons in the sea of ​​grass, quietly watching them perform a chase drama.

Because the gravity here is so strong that walking is difficult, being able to fly is considered good enough. The speed is far from comparable to that outside.

As a result, that person was surrounded from all sides and could only maneuver around and find opportunities to get in. Everyone tried to help him when he was down, and everyone joined in to get a piece of the pie.

Through the words of these people,
Lin Shan seemed to hear something.

It seemed that the escaped person had more than one token in his hand and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives. First, a few people chased him, and then more and more people followed to take advantage of him.

This is very common in the world of magic cultivation.

We don’t know each other, but if we see a bargain, even a stranger can kill for it!
In a cruel environment, it is normal for a pack of wolves to hunt you as soon as you show any sign of decline.

The man who ran away felt extremely frustrated. Seeing that he was being targeted by more and more people, he couldn't help but yell:

"Xiao Qinglong, you are despicable and shameless! You can't solve the Xingguan mechanism yourself, so you instigate others to besiege me. How could the old ghost Black Dragon teach you such a scum?"

A one-eyed young man hid behind the crowd and said sarcastically:

"My master was never a good person to begin with. What's wrong with teaching him a scum?"

These words seemed to indicate that he was not on good terms with his master.

"Just wait! I will report your whereabouts to your master, and then he will send someone to deal with you."

"Hahahaha, then you have to be able to escape!"

The one-eyed young man sneered as he attacked the crowd.

"Don't even mention that you are surrounded by so many Taoist friends today and can't escape. Even if you really tell that old man your whereabouts, what can you do?"

"If he could do anything to me, he would have cut me into pieces and fed me to turtles, but what about now?"

"I am still alive and well!"

As he was talking, he said something shocking!
"If it weren't for those fellow disciples surrounding him during this trip to Yuxing Secret Realm, I would have twisted off the old man's head with my own hands and kicked it like a ball!"

Such treasonous words would definitely be condemned by all if they were in the righteous way. Unfortunately, all of them were from the evil way, and they were too lazy to care about other people's affairs, and just chased after the person in front of them.

Lin Shan was a little confused, he always felt that it sounded a little familiar.

Turning around, he asked:

"Do you know who this person is?"

Taoist Zhi Lian and Taoist An Chun nodded at the same time, indicating that they knew.

"In recent years, our Chu State has become famous for its new independent cultivators. Almost two of them have died at the hands of Jindan-stage demon cultivators!"

"It is said that he was born in Jiaozhou, a lawless area in the northern border of Chu State bordering other countries."

"This place is extremely vicious. Many villains who can't make it in the Demonic Kingdom run here. There are black markets everywhere, and it's full of filth and dirt. Over time, they stick together to keep warm and build a stronghold."

"His master is one of the famous Four Evils of Jiaozhou, the Black Dragon Old Ghost!"

Lin Shan suddenly understood and remembered why he felt familiar with it.

Because in the forbidden area on the cliff, he had competed with the Black Dragon Old Ghost for the reed jade stalactite in Hongya Cave, and later the matter was left unresolved when he fell into Xiaoyizhou.

When he heard about the Four Evils of Jiaozhou, he immediately thought of them.

It’s just that he had never heard of this one-eyed young man, Xiao Qinglong. It seems that his cultivation has reached the late Jindan stage, which is the same level as his master!

He is in the late Jindan stage and still looks like a young man. How could you bear to let go of such an outstanding disciple?

You must know that Young Master Jiuyou is now in the late Jindan stage, but he has also reached middle age!
Jindan stage cultivators who are over 140 years old, unless they have taken life-extending spiritual substances, are otherwise middle-aged or older according to the ratio of mortals in this world to 35 years old!
Lin Shan even wondered how this person cultivated and how he could be so fast?

Zhi Lian Zhenren didn't know why and was still telling him the origins of this person.

"After he betrayed his master, he came to Jin State alone to fight and make his way. He has been wandering on the gray edge, competitive, and even often fights with the true disciples of the top sects who are traveling outside!"

"It is said that he did it to verify what he had learned. Except for being defeated by the contemporary leader of the magic world, Yuan Mo Zong's eldest brother Zi Chengqian, he has never lost a battle against anyone else!"

"Later, everyone knew how difficult this person was to deal with. When they met him, they basically avoided him for fear of being pestered by him."

Lin Shan began to understand a little bit. Being able to achieve such a record was enough to prove how terrifying this person was.

"I didn't expect that there is such a freak among the demonic cultivators. I'm really curious about how he can cultivate so fast and maintain such a high combat power."

If people in the evil way take crooked paths and rely on plundering to practice, although they can advance quickly, their foundation is unstable and they will easily fall when they meet a master.

But Xiao Qinglong's actual combat record shows that this person has a very solid foundation and is definitely not just a show-off.

Just then, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.

"I know a little about this. It is said that Xiao Qinglong's skills are peculiar. He once obtained the special magic skill "Spiritual Coffin Magic Key" from his master, the old ghost Black Dragon, in a remote area."

"Ok?"

Lin Shan and the other two turned around and looked at the old man who was walking towards them.

With long hair reaching his legs, a beard reaching the ground, eyebrows like weeping willows, and a white robe, he looks like an old immortal.

He looks old enough to be my great-grandfather!

"The Spirit Coffin Demonic Core Technique requires a special demon corpse reincarnation body to be successfully practiced."

"Back then, the old ghost Black Dragon went to the mortal world to find a baby with outstanding talent, guided its soul, and took over the body of the demon corpse that he had cultivated for a hundred years, and turned it into a corpse."

"From then on, I accepted him as my disciple, taught him carefully, taught him the skills, treated him like an adopted son, placed high hopes on him, and gave him the name Little Blue Dragon."

"This technique has harsh prerequisites, but the method of practicing and improving it is simple and crude, that is, collecting corpses!"

The old man in white robe stroked his beard in front of the three people. He came uninvited and gave them a very clear explanation.

"As long as he is given a corpse that has not been dead for a long time and is fresh and vigorous, he can absorb the other party's cultivation in a short period of time and plunder it for his own nutrients, and basically there will be very few residual sequelae."

"So if this person wants to improve his cultivation, he just needs to keep killing people. Killing more people will allow him to break through quickly!"

"This technique is extremely powerful, but the more you progress in the later stages, the more you rely on corpses. On the contrary, your own practice will be extremely slow. As the saying goes, there is always a loss if there is a gain."

Lin Shan and the other two nodded repeatedly, feeling that they had learned something new.

At the same time, I couldn’t help asking:

"This Taoist friend actually knows so many secrets. I wonder who he is and what his name is?"

The old man in white robe laughed and shook his sleeves twice.

"You can call me Qianjizi. I am a wandering cultivator who drifts around everywhere. I don't deserve to be called a master."

The calmer it is, the more mysterious this person becomes.

Although he didn't know why he didn't participate in the previous fight, but came over to explain to him, Lin Shan was happy to make friends with him anyway because he could get information for free.

"So it's Brother Qianjizi, nice to meet you. Since you even know the 'Spiritual Coffin Demonic Core Secret', I guess you also know the grudge between Little Blue Dragon and Black Dragon Ghost?"

"I don't know everything about it, but I have heard some rumors."

Qianjizi was very familiar with the place and talked nonstop. He stood in a row with Lin Shan and the others, watching the excitement in front of them while telling him casually. "It is said that there are several versions of the rumor that the master and the apprentice fell out. In addition, the master was afraid that the apprentice would be more powerful and difficult to control, so he killed him in advance, and the news leaked out and he escaped."

"There are also rumors of betrayal, collusion with outsiders, secret poisoning, murder for money, furnace substitute, possession of other bodies, etc."

"The most widely spread rumor is that Xiao Qinglong committed adultery with his master's wife!"

"Let me tell you, in recent years, 70% of the masters and apprentices in the cultivation world have fallen out with each other because of adultery between their mistresses. Don't you think this is weird?"

Qianjizi stroked his beard, with some confusion in his eyes.

When the case is no longer accidental and becomes a common phenomenon occurring on a large scale, it seems so unreasonable.

He really didn't know why the young people in the cultivation world liked their master's wife so much?
What’s so good about being a middle-aged woman?

How could there be such a pretty little girl!
Lin Shan thought about the rumors he had experienced, and it seemed that this was the one he heard the most. He couldn't help but despise the rotten culture of this cultivation world.

It can only be said that when a habit becomes a convention in the general environment, more and more people will be subtly influenced by it.

Monks are no exception.

"Let's not talk about this. Anyway, what happens to Little Azure Dragon has nothing to do with us. Instead, fellow Daoist Qianjizi, why don't you go to the front and join in the fun?"

Lin Shan saw that the battle was almost coming to an end. Although the trapped late Jindan cultivator was powerful, he was ultimately outnumbered when facing the siege of so many people.

He intended to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth, but without knowing the situation clearly, he shouldn't act rashly and had to be careful not to be taken advantage of or besieged.

Qianjizi laughed, as if he had seen through everything.

"That person only has a few tokens in his hand. They are of no use to us now. Why bother to fight for them?"

Lin Shan felt a little confused after hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the specific effect of the token?"

"I don't know, but I can guess that it must be used on the last Star Palace, and it may even be the key to the final treasure!"

This old fellow seemed to know everything. I really didn't know why he, a casual cultivator, was so well-informed.

"But there's no need to go get it now because it's not time yet."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

Lin Shan heard the hidden meaning in his words, as if there was some hidden story, so he couldn't help but explore it carefully.

Qianjizi was surprisingly easy to talk to. He would tell you everything he knew.

"This secret realm in the sky can be roughly divided into three rings. The innermost ring is where the Star Palace is located. The second ring is guarded by nine Star Palaces. The third ring is where the 72 Star Observatories are scattered."

"We are now at the junction of the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road."

"Further ahead is the Xingfu District, which is the real battleground!"

Lin Shan turned to look at Zhi Lian Zhenren and found that he was also shocked. Although he had come here once in the past sixty years, he had no understanding of the overall situation.

Ring one, ring two, ring three, one star palace, nine star palace, and seventy-two star temples.

It is absolutely impossible to obtain this kind of information by exploring on your own. There must be an unknown channel to learn such secrets!

"Why did you tell us this valuable news instead of keeping it to yourself?"

Lin Shan thought to himself that if it were him, he would never share anything with others for no reason. But Qianjizi came up to him and started talking to him for no apparent reason, and all kinds of secrets came out of his mouth.

It made him feel so uncomfortable!

Are there such good people in this world?
"Haha, of course I have something to ask of you, so I have to give a little in advance to show my sincerity."

"Don't you think so, Master Lin of Xun Gu Sect?"

Qianjizi narrowed his eyes and uttered a meaningful bass line.

"!!!"

Lin Shan felt anxious, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

This is also normal.

Qianjizi must be a well-informed person to know so many secrets, so it seems reasonable that he knows my identity.

"If you need me to do anything, please tell me directly. I am afraid that I am not capable enough to help you."

"Hahaha, Master Lin is being modest."

Qianjizi spoke slowly and told the story in a leisurely manner.

"The Star Palace is in the center of the rotation, and it will be the site of the final battle."

"The seventy-two constellations are spread across the vast Three Rings, and it is difficult to find them all."

"The only thing we can focus on is the Star Mansion within the Second Ring Road. This is also the purpose of my trip to make friends with Sect Leader Lin."

"I would like to ask you to help me seize a Star Mansion!"

Qianjizi's words are shocking!
Lin Shan and the other two were bewildered.

"You mean, monopolizing all the treasures in a star palace?"

"No."

The old man repeated it to him very seriously.

"I don't want treasures, I want the Star Mansion!"

"Xingfu."

Lin Shan reacted quickly and immediately understood the meaning.

"Could it be that the Xing Mansion itself is a treasure?"

"Yes."

Qianjizi smiled, his eyes bright.

"All the star viewing places you have visited, including the Star Palace you will see on the road ahead, actually do not contain any treasures. All treasures are in the Star Palace, but there are star power transmission channels connecting various places, and you can open the channels through the mechanism to pick them up."

"These appetizers are actually the legacy left by True Lord Yuxing. In order to suppress the strong and support the weak, they are specially given to the competitors in the early stage!"

"Just think about it, how rare are magic weapons, magical powers, secret techniques, and spiritual objects in the outside world? But here they can be seen everywhere, which is enough to greatly enhance the strength of the participants! Let them gain all-round improvement and narrow the gap with the strong."

"The strong have no shortage of magic weapons and secret techniques. These things are just icing on the cake. For the weak, they are a timely help!"

"Tokens are only useful when you reach the final moment of the battle in the Star Palace. In the early stages, you should focus on improving your strength."

"If you don't have the strength, even if you enter the Star Palace, the token on your body will still be of use to others!"

"Therefore, after most of the cultivators come in, regardless of whether they know the function of the token or not, they will first choose treasures to strengthen themselves. This is an understandable choice."

Qianjizi sighed and watched the man in front of him being finally killed. A group of people pounced on him like hyenas and divided up his inheritance.

"I came in late and didn't have time to search Xingguan, so I could only focus on Xingfu. This is a large-scale space magic weapon, and its true value is definitely no less than a spiritual treasure!"
