Immortal Road.

Chapter 655 (End, Beginning) Digesting what you have learned and studying the mind method
In the Xing Mansion, Lin Shan closed his eyes and regulated his breathing.

The arrival of the curse just now gave him another reminder!
He is not clean now, and there is an inexplicable external enemy coveting him, who will give him a hard blow from time to time!
Fortunately, it was not the critical moment of my breakthrough or fight, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Wu Dao Sect"

Lin Shan muttered to himself, already having a guess in his mind.

Before going to Yuxing's secret treasure house, he lost one of his Chongyang Divine Fire Pillars, which was intercepted by a master of the Wudao Sect in the southwestern border of the Chu State.

But at that time, there was not enough time, so I had to go to the Star-Swallowing Mountains first to seize the inheritance of star power, and put this matter aside for a while.

Later in the secret realm in heaven, the curse also caused me some troubles, but fortunately, they were like mosquito bites and did not hurt at all, I could just endure it.

Not everyone can summon a creature in the Nascent Soul stage, so ordinary curses have little effect on him.

But it’s okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens again and again, it’s a bit too much!

If it really holds you back at the critical moment, it will be too late to cry!

"No, this curse must be removed first, otherwise it will be a hidden danger in the end."

Normally he was the one cursing others, but now he was cursed by others!
How can I bear this?
"Don't let me know who you are, or I'll curse you to death!"

"If you have the guts to face the curse, who's afraid of who?"

"Cursing someone behind their back is nothing!"

"It seems that we have to go to Wu Dao Sect once again."

Lin Shan forced himself to suppress his resentment and began to plan his future itinerary.

He took out the 'Partridge Nest' and wrote a letter to his good brother Lin Fan, asking him when he would come over.

Before, when he was in the Song Dynasty, Lin Fan had promised to come to Lu State to find him when he was free, and the two of them would join forces to conquer the world together.

Now so many years have passed, and I haven't been back to Lu for a long time. I don't know where he is.

He stuffed the letter into the messenger partridge and was about to let it fly away when he remembered his "stain" in the Song Dynasty.

So he simply asked Lin Fan to see if he could cover it up.

"Flutter~~~"

The messenger partridge flew away, and I watched it soar into the sky.

He thought of Brother Ji again, who was left alone at Jiuyao Peak in the southwest of Chu, and he had no idea how he was doing now.

The Lujiang League is easy to deal with, with the Black Skull Demon Lord, Master Zhankong and Ancestor Luque in charge, so I basically don't have to worry about anything.

But Brother Ji's Kun Sect is short of manpower, and he has always been unable to cope with it.

We don't expect it to expand its territory, become bigger and stronger, but it would be good enough if it could hold on to Jin Yaofeng's one and a half acres of land!

After all, it is just a chicken, and it is weak and alone in the human kingdom. Its only helper, the pig-headed monster, has been captured. We cannot expect too much from it.

The most urgent task is to digest what you have gained in the secret realm of heaven. As your strength grows, you will learn what you should learn and eliminate what you should eliminate.

This place is located in the Lan family in the northern part of Jin State. It is remote and sparsely populated. There is also a spiritual spring hidden underground. It is a perfect place for me to recuperate.

For dozens of days, the Star Mansion was silent, without any sound at all.

Six groups of evil spirits slowly circled around him, black, gray, pink, red, orange, and blue, like six satellites.

They represent six kinds of evil spirits respectively: Kun Yuan Evil, Dark Cloud Evil, Peach Blossom Evil, Rock Poison Evil, Yang Yan Evil and Yin Bing Evil.

The last two were obtained by Master Gao You who killed Disha Lou in the Star Palace. They are also the best two types of evil spirits.

The Yangyansha burns and melts, and also ignites.

Yin Bingsha freezes and locks people up, and comes with ice poison.

One Yin and one Yang, they are the inherited treasures of Disha Tower. They were lost in the secret storage of Yuxing by the great elder, Master Gao You, and there is no hope of getting them back.

In fact, Lin Shan had originally thought of going to the Disha Tower after he got out, and taking advantage of the fact that the other party had lost three Jindan-stage cultivators in a row to directly defeat them!
But now, after the confrontation between the hundreds of tribes in the Star Palace and the Star-Devouring Demon Tribe, the secret treasure of Yuxing has caused an uproar in the surrounding countries and is no longer a secret for a few people.

All the participating forces like the Star-Swallowing Sect and the Disha Tower will definitely be investigated afterwards.

And since Jin State was the territory of the Yuanmo Sect, he still had to act with caution. It would be good enough if he could fulfill the last wish of Young Master Jiuyou.

During these days, he was not only refining the two newly acquired evil spirits, but also studying the unique skills of the Disha Tower.

"The Disha Technique to Accelerate the Origin".

This is a magic spell for condensing evil energy. When Master Gao You performed it for the first time in the Star Mansion, it completely crushed Lin Shan's method of controlling evil energy!
Only by condensing the evil energy and blending it with the vital energy, and continuing to regenerate endlessly, can one become stronger over time.

Of course, the evil energy here is not the same as the true energy of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. It is just one level higher than the evil energy. Its intensity is determined by one's own strength and the quality of the evil energy.

In other words, the stronger your magic power and the higher the quality of your evil spirit, the more powerful the evil spirit you condense will be.

If it is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, using true essence to stimulate the evil spirit and condense evil essence, it will of course be even more powerful!
Lin Shan had been playing with the art of Sha for some time, and he had a good understanding as well. The secret techniques inherited from the Disha Tower also had annotations from successive elders, so it took him a month to learn them thoroughly.

He turned his palm, and the six evil balls also turned with it. Evil bands gathered in the palm of his hand. Colorful mist flowed, with liquid crystals in it. This was the so-called evil element.

Feeling the terrifying energy, I suddenly had an idea.

He activated the "Evil Soldiers Art" and transformed them into sharp blades, which were lined up in a row in front of him and then rotated in a fan shape. If he threw them out, most Jindan stage cultivators would not be able to withstand it!
He wanted to try it out, but he had no opponent, so he had to give up for the time being.

And now the "Seven Evils Soul Locking Technique" has gathered six of the seven evil spirits, and only one more evil spirit is missing to truly perfect the technique!

"There is only one last evil spirit left, so it won't be too difficult."

Lin Shan was confident that with his current wealth, he could exchange goods for something at a high price, even if he suffered a loss. As long as he was willing to invest heavily, there would always be someone who would exchange with him.

Once this technique is perfected, it can truly seal the soul of the Nascent Soul stage!
Only then did I dare to complete a task that had been delayed for a long time.

It was given to him by the man in the bamboo hat, Hongchenxian, when he met him in the forbidden area on the cliff, to reinforce the seal of a great demon.

At that time, the man in the bamboo hat told him that one had to be at least in the late Jindan stage to go there.

But how could Lin Shan not know that it would be dangerous to step on the line in the late Jindan period, but if he went too late and delayed the important matter entrusted by the immortal, he would be even more to blame!
Therefore, he has to find ways to improve his foundation.

The Golden Elixir Avenue has reached the late stage, but that was the result of the forced infusion of star energy in the Star Palace. After returning, he will definitely have to spend time to consolidate his realm.

The soul pill is still in the middle stage and needs to be upgraded to the corresponding level, so it is safer to have two pills fully developed.

But thinking of Young Master Jiuyou’s last wish, I’m afraid I can’t wait that long.

It took me ten years to cultivate from the early stage of Soul Pill to the middle stage of Soul Pill. It would definitely take another ten years or more to cultivate from the middle stage of Soul Pill to the late stage of Soul Pill.

If you go there by then, the flowers will probably be cold.

Big brother's original team had already been slowly eaten up by Zi Chengqian. Even if the Black Magic Double Dragon Boring was handed over to an important figure, it would probably be too late to save the situation.

He also read through the secret technique of opening the spirit that he had given him before he died. The procedures involved were very complicated and tedious. It would be difficult for him to do it alone. He would need a lot of help to collect materials and prepare the ceremony. It was not so easy to succeed in acquiring a spiritual body.

If it could be accomplished in one go, the Jiuyou Gate would have been filled with spiritual beings!

"There is no need to rush the cultivation, nor the spiritual awakening ceremony. It will be safer to return to the ancient sect of Lu or the Kun sect of Chu and then retreat to a safe place. Big brother's last wish cannot be delayed."

"However, now that the Yuxing secret treasure incident has caused a stir, the major forces in Jin State should have reacted belatedly and started investigating the relevant people. It is not safe for me to leave too early."

"Zi Chengqian is probably busy digesting what he has gained from Yuxing's secret stash, and has no time to take care of other things for the time being. It won't be too late for me to leave after the storm has passed."

Lin Shan estimated the time in his mind and grasped the scale.

Everything is naturally based on your own safety.

As for whether Zi Chenggan would be trapped in the secret treasure of Yuxing, he didn't need to consider that. If Xiao Qinglong could get out, there was no reason why Zi Chenggan couldn't get out.

After mastering the secret techniques related to evil spirits.

He took out another escape technique, which he also found from Master Gao You's inheritance.

"The Escape of Demonic Shadow".

He had also seen this effect before. It was not known for its speed, but in the fight against the enemy, it could use the split magic shadows to change positions and turn the virtual into the real. It was a relatively practical minor magical spell.

It took him two months to gradually comprehend this technique and successfully form the mark of the magical power in his mind.

After learning, I want to give it a try.

The body shook slightly!
Two demon shadows emerged from his left and right sides, both of them were sitting cross-legged. Whatever movement he made, the demon shadows moved in sync.

Of course there are some micro-management.

For example, the demon shadow on the left is of the wind type, and the demon shadow on the right is of the thunder type. Even when he activates the soul pill, a soul shadow can appear!
By activating the six kinds of evil spirits, six different evil shadows can appear!
However, every time a shadow appears, one's mind will be diverted to control it. When multitasking, the consumption of mana will be multiplied.

Therefore, the more magic shadows are not necessarily better. Instead, you should choose the one that suits you best based on your own circumstances.

A thought came to my mind.

His real body suddenly disappeared, leaving only a shadow, and on the other side, a shadow turned from virtual to real, vivid and lifelike!

Displacement!

Lin Shan nodded with satisfaction. Although the magic shadow could not be too far away from the main body, this was equivalent to a brief teleportation.

Next,
He took out a gray mountain, which was Xu Jizi's ancient treasure, Dian Cang Stone Peak.

After playing with it for a while and studying it, he shook his head and decided not to refine it.

Because any of the ancient treasures he has now are more suitable for him than this treasure, and even if he refines it, there will not be many opportunities to use it.

And there is another concern.

That is, Dian Cang Stone Peak is Xu Jizi's signature. If he uses it outside, he will be easily recognized, and it will be troublesome if he attracts the attention of Xushen Mountain.

Similarly, as a magic weapon that complements the exercises, Dian Cang Stone Peak can only exert its full power by practicing the Xushen Mountain Heart Method.

"The Secret of Earthly Treasures"!
This is also one of the highlights of this harvest, a mental method that can lead directly to the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the other things he got from Xu Jizi, such as "Zhongfu Mountains Shaking", "Water Flooding Jinshan", "Moving Mountains and Filling Valleys", "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch", etc., it was difficult for him to learn and comprehend them without the true meaning of magical powers.

As for the mental method, you can learn it by asking for advice.

The person to be consulted was naturally the remaining soul of Xu Jizi hidden in the token of the master of Luwu Peak.

This guy has been lying in there for so many days, he must have been suffocated a long time ago!
Lin Shan took out the token and pretended to be concerned:

"Is Daoist Fellow Jixuzi here? How have you been lately?"

The residual soul of the light spot in the token wakes up from its slumber. In order to maintain the lifespan of its soul and reduce the speed of dissipation, it usually uses sleep to maintain its vitality.

Otherwise, over time, if you think too much and over-consume yourself, you will become weaker and weaker.

However, everything has its pros and cons. If you sleep for a long time, you will experience symptoms such as dementia and paralysis. This is a difficult problem that the cultivation world has not yet overcome.

"Yes, Master Lin, thank you for your care. I'm still the same lately. What do you want from me?"

"Ahem, I want to ask you about the Dibao Heart Sutra."

The remnant soul of the light spot snorted inwardly when he heard this, but appeared extremely warm on the surface, telling him that he could ask any questions he had.

Lin Shan humbly asked for advice, and learned the professional terms he didn't understand in the mental method one by one, consolidating various foundations.

The remnant soul of the light spot also spared no effort to leave a good impression on him, and even patiently demonstrated and explained many things.

All of this is for the future, so you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.

When he goes to Xushen Mountain in the future, the first thing he will do after his resurrection is to cut this man into pieces!

The two of them pretended to be nice to each other and took advantage of each other, and they seemed to be having a good time.

Lin Shan started from the beginning, from the simplest to the most complex, practicing layer by layer in order.

With the guidance of the remnant soul of the light spot, it is equivalent to having a teacher at the level of the master of a major sect, who teaches you step by step and is available at any time, so your growth rate will naturally be very fast!

The first nine levels of the Qi training period are very easy and can basically be passed with just a quick glance.

The tenth to eighteenth levels are the foundation-building stage, which is a little difficult. There are also many points that Lin Shan didn’t know before, which were all filled in by him one by one.

The nineteenth to twenty-seventh levels are the Golden Core Stage.

From here on, things became a bit obscure and difficult to understand. Lin Shan began to think carefully and confirmed repeatedly with the remnant soul of the light spot to prevent this old guy from cheating him.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a year passed, and he used his mental method to repeatedly consolidate his realm.

Keep practicing until the 25th level!
Finally caught up with my current level of cultivation, which means that my cultivation and strength are consistent!

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jixuzi. Without your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make it all the way smoothly and make my realm catch up with my cultivation."

"Hey~ No way! Master Lin, if you need anything in the future, just call me anytime. I'll be there whenever you call."

"Hahahaha, fine, then I won't be polite!"

Lin Shan exchanged greetings with it, gave it the return token, and then put it away.

So far, I have been in seclusion for more than a year.

He didn't know what the situation was like outside at the moment. If the heat had almost dissipated, it would be time for him to fulfill his promise to Young Master Jiuyou!
