Immortal Road.

Chapter 768: Retreat and Practice, Visitors from the Sword Tomb

After a short rest, the entire Kuisangling mountain became busy.

While cleaning up the battlefield, they collected the corpses and bones and threw them all into a large pool. Then teams of demon soldiers took out medicinal herbs from the warehouse and threw them in.

This pool is more than ten feet deep and fifty feet wide. It is obvious that it is a preparation for the demon clan to display their true form.

"This is a local medicine recipe from our forbidden cliff area. It can be used to increase blood concentration."

Demon King Kuihu and Lin Shan stood by the pool, followed by Lin Fan and Brother Ji.

Brother Ji was extremely excited. He didn't expect that he would be appreciated and highly cultivated by the Demon King Kuihu without much effort.

However, the demon king Kuihu was attracted by the fact that the Peacock King was behind it, so he decided to help it.

Otherwise, with such a good opportunity, why not support one of your own men?

After experiencing this devastating defeat, it realized the importance of personal connections!
Since the Yuanlu Demon King has no moral principles, it must also consider a way out and make friends everywhere!
After all, what the ancient Kuisang tree said was like fart. Others might think he was a great master from the forbidden cliff land, but in fact he was just a bluffing bluff.
"We can almost go in. If you have the chance, remember to invite the Peacock Demon King to visit the forbidden area. I will prepare a bed for you!"

"Save it~"

Brother Ji immediately agreed and dived in.

"Pfft!"

"Gulp, gulp, gulp"

Bubbles appeared in the blood pool, and then there was no movement. The Kuihu Demon King withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Fan.

"My friend, you have helped to defend the mountain before, and you have made great contributions. Now it happens that my subordinates have suffered heavy losses, and there are many vacancies for the position of cave master. I will grant you a piece of land. What do you think?"

The forces under the command of the Demon King Kuihu have shrunk greatly, and many of the Jindan stage demon soldiers died in battle. Many young and strong demon soldiers in the demon caves have been killed, leaving only a group of old, weak and sick people left in the deep mountains and old forests. Therefore, it is nothing to temporarily give the credit to outsiders.

Moreover, granting it to you does not mean that you will become independent. In name, it is still your own camp and you still have to pay tribute every year and send troops to fight.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Lin Fan nodded and bowed. When he heard that he could become the king of the mountain, he immediately became excited!

He messed up the Ginkgo Cave in Linshan before, and now he has got a new piece of land. Isn't it going to cause trouble?

He took the appointment letter and cave master token from the Kuihu Demon King and took up the post happily.

Say hello to Lin Shan before leaving:

"Brother, you stay here and retreat slowly. I'll go out for a ride and patrol the mountains first. When your Nascent Soul breakthrough is consolidated, we can drink and chat happily together!"

"No, why did you bet on it?"

Lin Fan disappeared in a flash, and Brother Ji also dived deep into the blood pool and began to transform. Lin Shan was secretly looking forward to meeting them in the future, hoping that everyone could make different progress.

The demon king Kuihu took him to the back mountain.

There is a special well for cultivation here, which is so deep that you can't see the bottom and you can sink into it.

It was pitch black below, boundless and vast, with scattered luminous pearls dotted on the ground. It was mysterious and quiet, with gusts of spiritual wind.

Take a deep breath, and the fresh spiritual energy that far exceeds that of the outside world will hit you in the face!

"This spiritual vein contains the three types of spiritual energy, water, wood, and wind, which account for the largest proportion. They just happen to have the attributes suitable for your cultivation."

The Kuihu Demon King smiled and came to an underground lake.

Lin Shan's face was filled with intoxication, and his body was actually surrounded by materialized blue spots of light. This was due to the excessive accumulation of wind spiritual energy, which caused the color to accumulate and show.

During daily practice, the concentrations of the five elements of spiritual energy vary, so after absorbing it into the body, it needs to be converted into the spiritual energy required for one's own skills, which wastes a lot of time and there will also be losses during the conversion process.

Therefore, a spiritual vein that matches one's own attributes can save a lot of time and efficiency!

Especially the spiritual lake in front of him, which has turned into liquid with a radius of one mile. There is a transparent crystal island in the center of the lake. It is only three feet in space, but it has already turned into solid!
"Go ahead, that place has the best effect. I condensed the demon baby there and succeeded in one go."

The Kuihu Demon King pointed at the island and sighed, time flies and years pass.

Now that the demon clan is in trouble, it actually brought a human into the most secret place in the royal court.

This is not only out of trust in Lin Shan's unswerving support, but also because he needs him to work for him in the future. He is more optimistic about his future potential and makes the investment in advance!
The overlords of the world of cultivation, as long as they have resources and power, are actually not stingy with their investments.

Investing is actually one of the best things for you!

Just like ordinary rich people in the world, if they have some spare money, who wouldn’t want to try investing in a small business first?

This is a truth.

If you can grow bigger in the future, then make additional investments!
Even if we can catch up and be on equal footing, we can join forces and become partners!
The demon king Kuihu had previously trained General Bear of the demon clan. This demon had always behaved honestly, hardworking and diligently, so the demon king Kuihu had no suspicion.

But who would have thought that the usually honest General Xiong would be so cunning and clever. He hid his incompetence for so long, and then turned against him at the critical moment, dealing him a severe blow!
The Demon King Kuihu couldn't find any confidants who could be quickly trained at the moment. After all, the Nascent Soul stage was too difficult, and none of his subordinates had such potential, let alone wasting so many resources. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he chose Lin Shan.

If the pressure from the Yuanlu Demon King hadn't been too great this time, he wouldn't have been so eager to put helping Lin Shan break through to the Nascent Soul stage as the first priority after the war.

Lin Shan flew to the island and sat down cross-legged.

I just felt the air below was as warm as jade, and flowing gently, as if there was an inexplicable rhythm interweaving with the heaven and earth.

"This is a real spiritual jade with inspiration."

The voice of the Kuihu Demon King came from the shore, signaling him to remain calm, calm down and feel carefully, the feeling of being one with the heaven and earth.

Lin Shan entered into a state of meditation in a second. Since he was a wind spirit body, it was not a problem for him to merge his body into the heaven and earth.

But for others, it is a treasure to assist in the early stage of the connection between heaven and man!

Seeing that he quickly got into the state, the Demon King Kuihu nodded and said no more, turned around and left, so as not to disturb his retreat.

This is the royal base camp. It is safe enough and you can practice with confidence.

Lin Shan first practiced the "Earth Treasure Heart Method" to circulate all the extraordinary meridians in the body several times to ensure that his emotions were stable, his mind was focused, his thoughts were clear, and his Qi and blood were flowing freely.

Once again, he simultaneously practiced the Nascent Soul Stage's star power technique "The Scarlet Falling Meteorite Sutra"!
In the past, when practicing "The Art of Wind and Thunder", one would absorb spiritual energy and transform it into wind magic power, but now it is directly transformed into star power.

However, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy from the outside, attracting and gathering it through spiritual consciousness, filtering it through the pores, tempering it through the meridians, and converting it into the Dantian is still not fast enough!
He originally planned to use the vast amount of star power in the Star Mansion to help himself cultivate to the critical point between the late Jindan stage and the Nascent Soul stage. Unfortunately, after breaking through the late Jindan stage, the resources required for further cultivation were too huge, far more than the early and middle Jindan stages.

After being chased by Wu Dao Sect on the road, there was not much star power left in the Star Mansion. Fortunately, he got enough thousand-year-old wine in the Ginkgo Cave!

Ape wine.

This spiritual liquid is equivalent to an artificial elixir, but it is less toxic and does not have as much drug resistance, so it can be taken continuously. It is more than enough for him to complete the late stage of golden elixir cultivation.

On the other side of his mind, he was doing two things at once, taking out the Soul Source Slate, planning to practice dual elixirs at the same time!
The Golden Elixir Avenue and the Soul Elixir Avenue, the two go hand in hand!
What a crazy decision to save time!

Although his current spiritual awareness is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul stage, his control is far beyond what it used to be.

But if he didn't have the "Earth Treasure Secret Method" before, he would definitely not dare to do so. It would be easy for him to be distracted and go astray in his practice, and even go astray.

I have to thank Xu Jizi of Xushen Mountain for giving me this book on the Nascent Soul stage.

Thinking of Xu Jizi who was still trapped in the token, he casually shook his head and killed the idea and decided to talk about it later when he had time.

"Da da da,"

On the earth at dusk, the blood soil was soft and the mud was deep, but there was a straight stone road.

A sloppy man in coarse linen clothes, with an untidy beard, a straw hat on his back and a large wine gourd on his waist, was walking step by step on the road.

"Whoosh~~Whoosh~~" The whistling and fierce dust swept past, raising a cloud of sand all over the sky.

He put on the straw hat at the back and let his veil fall to cover his face to block the wind and sand.

In front, there is a lonely altar.

A rusty iron sword has been inserted on the altar for who knows how many years. It has become rotten and covered with dirt, as if it would break at the slightest touch.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

On the steps in front of the altar, a middle-aged man with his face covered by a hat had been sitting there for a long time. If you didn’t look carefully, you would think he was a sculpture. Unexpectedly, he was a living person!

He shook the dust off his head and shoulders.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~~~"

He raised his head and looked at the sloppy man approaching.

"Sword Saint, Ma Yuanjue, I have long heard of your great name, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

"Da, da, da!"

The footsteps suddenly stopped, and the sloppy man stood on the stone road and looked at the man in front of the altar with a calm tone.

"Who are you?"

"The abandoned disciple of Shangxiao, the wandering cultivator, Ji Changli."

"looking for me?"

"Haha, don't you want to know why I took such a big risk to sneak into the secret realm of the Sword Tomb of the Shangxiao Sword Sect and wait for you?"

"Do not want to know."

"you!"

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat was speechless for a moment.

But he quickly reacted, sneered, and even looked at him with a sharp gaze.

"Okay, you have character, I admire you."

"You don't want to hear it, but I still have to say it. After I finish speaking, you should think carefully about it!"

"About the sword tomb, which is said to have been built by a sword cultivator in ancient times."

Sword Saint Ma Yuanjue interrupted directly and said seriously.

"You're in my way."

"."

The middle-aged man in the bamboo hat paused again. He had never seen such a pretentious person before. You have to know that outside, he is a well-known late Nascent Soul cultivator. Even many top sects don’t dare to mess with him!

This kid is just at the same level as me, what is there to be proud of?
If I didn't have something to ask him about swordsmanship, why would I risk being discovered by the sect and come here to wait for him, and wait for several years?

"My fellow swordsman, I am here to exchange information with you. I have no intention of disturbing you or wasting your time. Let's make it short. I heard about you from the outside world some time ago..."

"You're in my way."

Sword Saint Ma Yuanjue only has this to say.

He is very frugal with words and would not tolerate any extravagance.

The man in the bamboo hat stood up in a flash! Even a clay figure can have tempers, why are you pretending to be so?

"Ma Yuanjue, don't refuse my toast and drink the wine for punishment. I give you some face because I respect you! We are all casual cultivators. The barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Who is afraid of who?"

The atmosphere was a little cold for a while.

It was the first time that the man in the bamboo hat met such a strange man. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. To be honest, he did feel a little insecure, but out of confidence in his own strength, he still refused to give in.

"I know you. I even went to the place where you are famous to investigate you. Along the way, three different personalities appeared in you. You have a serious split personality! If possible, call out the other two and see if you can communicate with me properly."

"Da da da!"

Ma Yuanjue just walked away without continuing to talk nonsense with him, and even ignored him, and walked straight towards the altar!
"Wait, you."

The man in the bamboo hat was just about to say something when suddenly a bright light flashed in his pupils!
"Puff~"

The body fell to the ground helplessly.

A trace of blood slowly appeared from his forehead. The soul inside had long been killed and completely annihilated, and his Nascent Soul had also been cut in half!
Ma Yuanjue didn't even turn around to look. A true swordsman never looks back.

He climbed the steps, came to the altar, and looked at it quietly for a quarter of an hour.

Then he stretched out his rough big hand and grasped the hilt of the iron sword. At this moment, the iron sword, which was originally ordinary and plain, suddenly shot a dazzling light into the sky!
Light up the sky and the earth in an instant!

The huge vortex of light above his head began to rotate around him.

Such a grand scene immediately alarmed people from outside. The protectors, deacons, and disciples of Shangxiao Sword Sect who were responsible for guarding the secret realm were all stunned and in chaos.

"What's that noise?"

"It seems to be coming from the center of the secret realm!"

"Could it be that the iron sword handed down from ancient times has been pulled out by someone?"

"How is it possible! That sword has been used for tens of thousands of years, and countless sword masters have shown their amazing talents, but none of them can pull it out!"

"But look at the Aquarius magic in front of you, the image reflected by the mirror."

"."

Everyone was stunned when they saw it, feeling like they were dreaming.

A sloppy man pulled out the iron sword from the altar, casually made a sword flower, and then, as if he couldn't let it go, he hung it on his back.

At his feet, a corpse with its hat and veil split in half was looking up at the sky in astonishment.

"Isn't that Uncle Ji Changli, who once rebelled against our sect?"

"He is in the late Nascent Soul stage, how could this happen?!"

"hiss"

There was a sound of people gasping for air, and no one dared to speak anymore. Instead, they spread the news to the rest of the sect.

Not long after, a sound suddenly came from the sky.

"Who are you, and why did you trespass into the Shangxiao Sword Sect's headquarters without permission?"

The sound was so deep and clear that it could even shake the area within a hundred miles and shatter all the strange phenomena in the sky!

"This is the Supreme Elder's spiritual journey into the sky, and his primordial thoughts have descended!"

Everyone cheered!
