Immortal Road.

Chapter 774: Young Nascent Soul, Zodiac Spirit Cloud

"Ai Amitabha!"

Lin Shan put his hands together for no reason and sang a Buddhist name in response.

Coupled with the halo of enlightenment behind his head, he really looks like a master who has attained enlightenment!
Then he put on a monk's robe, a cassock, tied a galay belt on his head, and stood an arhat stick behind him. Regardless of whether he could deceive Buddhists or not, at least he should be able to fool laymen.

"Could it be that with this set, I can also get a Buddhist vest and go to the temple to get free food and drinks?"

His heart was pounding as he looked at the relics and the Buddha's halo. They were so similar!

In the future, can we mix in various Buddhist sects such as Zen, Vinaya, Tantra, Sakya, Gelug, Southern Buddhism, and Joyful Buddhism?
Um? ! ! !

He hadn't even come out of retreat when he started to have bad thoughts. It must be said that after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had become much bolder!
Take back the disaster star and vibrate the Nascent Soul.

The image of Lei Chi appeared behind him!
The Golden Palace and Thunder Pool, with its majestic power, are extremely majestic and domineering as soon as they appear!

Although it was an illusion, the crackling plasma in the pool and the full pool of blue and white water were brewing terrifying power.

Lin Shan doesn't need to do anything or say anything at this time. He just needs to stand here quietly. Anyone with a discerning eye can imagine that he is definitely a righteous master!
Is there anything more convincing than the Golden Palace and Thunder Pool?

Even putting him and Lin Fan together, he said that he was a genuine Thunder Master from Zixiao Sect and Lin Fan was a fake, and probably no one would not believe it!

"Okay, okay, now I have a legitimate vest."

When you are away from home, you give yourself an identity, there is nothing wrong with that!
Lin Shan clapped his hands in admiration and began to stroke his chin to think about what Taoist name he should give to this Lei Chi Dharmadhatu.
When the gestation of the mysterious embryo of Nirvana is complete, he will also have the identity of an evil person.

Now all three camps have taken over.

Please, what else can stop me?!
It took him about half a year to consolidate his cultivation at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

And Chengming Qingyun finally completed its evolution.

【Ecliptic Spirit Cloud】（Already bound）
Quality: Fifth-order Spirit Cloud (Growable)
Introduction: Companion Spirit Cloud, a gift from Heaven, can grow with the master's cultivation level. Its current functions are as follows:

①. Effectively absorb wind spiritual energy, increase cultivation speed, and assist in practicing wind-related spells or magical powers.

②. Clear the mind, help enter into meditation, eliminate distracting thoughts, and concentrate the mind and calm the spirit.

③. The body is protected by green light, which can defend the owner from enemies at all times and absorb some damage.

④. Disguise as clouds, hide your body, restrain your breath, and isolate yourself from detection.

⑤. The blessing of the zodiac, covering the face, brings auspiciousness, passively improves the zodiac states such as "harvest", "perfection" and "luck", and improves the success rate of practicing exercises, comprehending supernatural powers, refining pills and equipment, etc.

Enhancement required: 128 points

(Note: If it is enhanced to the next quality in advance, it will no longer be automatically upgraded after the original owner's cultivation level breaks through)
After reaching the fifth level of Chengming Qingyun, it was renamed Huangdao Lingyun.

There is an additional fifth function, 'Zodiac Blessing'.

Covering the face is an advanced version of concealing the body. It hides the identity openly and makes others unable to see through the vest.

This is also a passive skill. While bringing good luck, it can also be manifested as improving the success rate of various daily skills.

Especially when it comes to alchemy and refining, once one reaches the Grandmaster level, even a tiny increase in the success rate is something that others can only dream of!
unfortunately
Lin Shan has basically not learned much about the various arts of cultivation.

The only things I know about are controlling insects and forming formations, which are better than nothing.

"Never mind. As long as the automatic protection function is up, everything else is secondary."

He kept a calm mind and was not too interested in those trivial things. After all, human energy was limited, and he didn't really need to delve into various skills besides practicing and exploring!
Otherwise, why would you keep so many subordinates?
Leave professional issues to professionals.

As the leader, why does he need to do it himself?
If it is really difficult to solve and you need results as quickly as possible, strengthening the panel is the most reliable method!

Others study the art of cultivation either to make a living, or because they cannot improve their cultivation, or because they have nothing to do and want to kill time in their spare time.

No matter whether they are from a big sect or an independent cultivator, they all have a consensus, that is, if you learn two skills, you will not be afraid to travel around the world.

But Lin Shan has a trick!

There is no bottleneck in my current cultivation. I have enough magical powers and spells, magic weapons and spiritual treasures, and elixirs for cultivation. Why bother wasting time learning a craft?
It is not too late to study the art of cultivation only when you have free time and nothing to do.

He took back the Zodiac Spirit Cloud, and the level of its automatic protection for its master was raised to the Nascent Soul level, giving him a full sense of security. At the same time, he took out a small piece of armor.

【Yuan Ying Armor】

Quality: Fifth-level breeding treasure

Introduction: Made of the skin of the Abyss Wood Spirit Sea Urchin, it can be worn outside the Nascent Soul in the body to defend against visible and invisible attacks and prevent peeping and parasitism.

Enhancement required: 128 points

This was also snatched from the Holy Son of the Wudao Sect. Newborn Nascent Souls are generally fragile, and if they encounter magical powers that directly act on the body, they can easily be severely damaged!

Therefore, this precious armor is worn inside to protect the Nascent Soul in the body from harm.

This piece of treasure also has the function of preventing the Nascent Soul from being parasitized, which is a bit unique.

His soul infant is in the sea of ​​consciousness, with the dual protection of the God-Splitting Knife Disk and the Divine Illuminating Wish Wheel, so it is basically worry-free, so the infant armor is given to the other Yuanying in the Dantian.

It immediately began to shrink and swell, and then jumped up and down.

Lin Shan could see that there were thorns on the outer armor, which would open immediately if threatened!

He nodded. The Holy Son of the Wudao Sect was truly his lucky star. He was the only one who could be the boy who brought wealth. He really wanted to thank him.

The outside world opened their eyes and discovered that the spiritual lake beneath them had restored a shallow water level within half a year. The high-quality spiritual veins were indeed powerful!
He then breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't destroy all the evil deeds of the Kuihu Demon King.

After counting on his fingers, he realized that from the completion of his cultivation in the late Jindan stage to his breakthrough to the Yuanying stage, plus the time spent on Dharma appearance and consolidating his cultivation, a total of half a century had passed!

"Thirty years, time has passed so quickly. The soul source powder I gave to the Kuihu Demon King before is probably used up. I have to come out of seclusion quickly, otherwise there will be a big leak."

He stood up and remembered the promise he made to the Demon King Kuihu. He knew it would not be good for him to stay any longer, so he planned to go out.

But inadvertently, he glanced at the lake and was suddenly stunned!

because
He saw himself in the lake.

Under the skylight at the wellhead, the waves sparkle and ripple.

So young
Unconsciously, after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, his lifespan increased dramatically and he returned to his youth, just like the sixteen-year-old boy who practiced sword dancing in the square of the Lin family in Qinghe County in the southern border of the Song Dynasty.

Young Nascent Soul!

His heart was shaken greatly!!!
Then he realized that the normal life span of the Nascent Soul stage was double that of the Golden Core stage, from 400 years to 800 years, plus the 180-year-old Spirit Milk he had taken at the beginning, and the 20 to 30 years of the Luyu stalactite, that is to say,
My life span is now over a thousand years!

Now that he has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he is only 160 years old, which just happens to be a true young Nascent Soul!

If he walked out with such honor, who in the cultivation world wouldn't be stunned?

“I never thought that I would have this day.”

He was filled with emotion. The experiences along the way made him excited but also melancholy. "One day."

Looking forward, the road ahead is long but also bright;

Looking back, the boat has passed through thousands of mountains!
"Hahahaha, come on, today is a great day, don't go home until you are drunk!"

"Bang~"

Kuisang Ridge, the Demon King’s Palace.

When the Demon King Kuihu learned that Lin Shan had come out of seclusion, he rushed back from the front line to hold a banquet to celebrate for him. Many demon generals and cave masters, both big and small, also attended and accompanied him, and the scene was very lively and grand.

"Military Advisor Lin has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, which is cause for celebration. Moreover, at his current age, he has a good chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future!"

Kuihu Monster King sincerely admired Lin Shan, saying that Lin Shan was his external aid and he was Lin Shan's backer. After so many years of getting along, the two of them had a relationship of monarch and subject, teacher and friend, and helped each other a lot, so they naturally hoped that the other would get better and better.

"Haha, then I'll take your good words."

Lin Shan looked around and saw that all the monsters dared not slack off and raised their glasses to toast him.

This is the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, which brings him a boost in prestige!

He was still in the Jindan stage before. Even though he was a military strategist, many monsters were unwilling to obey him. They thought that he was just an outsider, so why should he give them orders? How could that be disgraceful?

But now, they have reached the Nascent Soul stage, which forces them to admit defeat.

"My lord, where are Lin Fan and Brother Ji?"

He waited and waited but the two of them didn't show up, so he had to ask the Kuihu Demon King.

"They both applied to me more than 20 years ago to leave the forbidden area of ​​the cliff together, saying that they wanted to go back to their hometown and not stay here anymore."

Then they took out a letter. Apparently these two were respectful enough not to leave without saying goodbye.

Lin Shan took it and took a look. The general meaning was that Brother Ji had absorbed too much blood and essence from the demon clan, and his bloodline was on the verge of transformation, so he hurried back to the Peacock Clan to seek guidance from the demon king elders of his clan.

Lin Fan was tired of staying here, and when he heard that Brother Ji was going back to Song Dynasty, he was worried about his safety, so he decided to go back together with Brother Ji. He also planned to go back to Zixiao Sect to prepare for his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that their cultivation has reached its limit, it is time for the two of them to return to their tribes and sects. It is impossible for them to stay in the forbidden area on the cliff and wait for Lin Shan.

He could understand this, too.

Even brothers have their own life trajectories. Whether it's Lin Fan, the son of luck, or Brother Ji, the young master of the demon clan, they are just traveling together for a short time, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet each other in the future!

"My lord, what is the situation at the front now?"

Speaking of this, the Kuihu Demon King put down the wine jar and sighed slightly.

"Yuanlu has already established a firm foothold in Hongyaye. Even if the various armies of the Devouring Star Demon Clan withdraw, the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land is there, and it will be firmly nailed there as if it were a rock!"

"I don't dare to repeat the strategy of taking a detour and attacking from the front, or attacking from the rear. I'm afraid it will be prepared and set a trap for me. If it attacks from both sides, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect both ends."

"Now we are in a state of equilibrium, the front line is temporarily at a standoff, and there has been a truce for a long time."

Lin Shan followed with a sigh. General Xiong's independence had taken away one third of the elite tribes, causing a significant reduction in the power of the overlord, the Kuihu Demon King. The Yuanlu Demon King also received widespread support from the outside world, and, in addition, he controlled the geographical advantage and had a north-south cooperation with General Xiong, so it was indeed not easy to take him down.

It has become a trend that cannot be lost!

"It's okay. I can still suppress it at the front line. There is the spirit of my master in the back to deter outsiders. No one knows the truth. There will be no worries in the short term."

Although the Kuihu Demon King said this, there was obvious fatigue in his tiger eyes.

"My lord, I am leaving now. Is there anything I can help you with before I leave? For example, General Xiong?"

Seeing that it was under too much pressure and unable to handle everything, Lin Shan decided to share some of the burden.

"Don't touch it for now. After all, this is the territory that Master designated at the time. Allow it to be separated and independent."

"If I attack it now, it would be like going back on my word and slapping my master in the face. It would also affect the dignity and deterrence of Master Kuisang."

"The overall situation is more important. We should be patient if we can. That guy is just a small troublemaker who lives in a corner and has no ambition to make progress."

"I have a letter here. When you pass by the Aurora Sea, you can pass it to General Xiong as a messenger and convey my intentions."

The demon king Kuihu gave him a letter made of animal skin and signaled him to take a look at the contents.

Lin Shan read it roughly and found that the words used by the Demon King Kuihu were very intimate. He first expressed his condolences to General Xiong, and then reminisced about the past friendship. As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, the friendship remains, and if you can part ways amicably, you can continue your relationship.

Finally, invite their alliance and send troops to help fight against the Yuanlu Demon King!
"Your Majesty, this."

"It doesn't matter whether it sends troops or not, or even whether it forms an alliance or not. As long as we can ease the relationship and restrain our subordinates from harassing our rear, that will be enough."

The demon king Kuihu told him directly his bottom line. As for how to tell General Xiong when the time comes, it all depends on his eloquence.

In recent years, the frontier areas have been troubled by constant friction, which is really a headache.

Lin Shan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked about the other side.

"How long can the soul of Kuisang last?"

The Kuihu demon king spoke in a low voice with a melancholy look on his face:
"I have used up all the treasures in the treasury to heal the souls. The maximum extension is ten years."

Lin Shan let out a long sigh.

He took out the remaining soul source crumbs from his retreat and handed them to the Demon King Kuihu for emergency use.

I originally wanted to leave it to the Black Skull Demon Lord, but it seems that guy is not worthy of it. I can only help him in an emergency, not in poverty, so I can only talk about it later.

The Kuihu Demon King was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Lin Shan still had it!

I thanked him immediately without asking about his origins.

Everything is tacitly understood.

"My king, when I return to the human cultivation world, I will look for such healing items for you. Wait for my news."

"it is good!"

"There is no time to lose, let's go after this drink!"

"So soon, Military Advisor Lin, can't you stay a little longer?"

The Kuihu Demon King held the small bottle with reluctance on his face and wanted to have a good chat with him.

However, Lin Shan was concerned about the outside world because so much time had passed. Apart from anything else, he was afraid that something might have happened to Master Huang!

When leaving Jiuyao Peak, Dharma Protector Yan once said that Immortal Master Huang would not live long, and would soon reach the end of his life and be on the verge of death.

He must get back as soon as possible!
