Immortal Road.

Chapter 777 Blackmail, Strange Rebirth

Lin Shan nodded, very satisfied with General Xiong's attitude.

"Then I will thank you on behalf of the Kuihu Demon King."

General Xiong felt like crying but had no tears as he looked at the tragic scene all around him. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
It has endured so much, why not continue to endure? If it has to make things difficult now, it will have to endure it in the end!
In fact, what it didn't know was that Lin Shan didn't come here for revenge at all. He just came out of seclusion and was itching to do something, so he wanted to use it as a reference to position himself. So no matter whether it could bear it or not, the ending would be the same.

There’s no way to avoid this beating!
"Oh, by the way, I just heard at the banquet that you said your men had found some rare treasures in the deep mountains and forests, and you wanted to give them to me as a gift for my Nascent Soul Stage?"

"."

General Xiong froze!

What do you mean?
Blatantly soliciting bribes?

You were so upright and impartial just now, how come you changed so suddenly!
"General, are you kidding me?"

Lin Shan's smile immediately disappeared, and became gloomy again, and he asked with a sinister look on his face.

All the monsters below felt a chill all over their bodies, shivering with cold and speechless.

What's wrong with you? Why do you always change your face as soon as you say you will?

General Xiong had just been severely beaten and had a face full of grievance. He was already feeling very uncomfortable, and now he was blackmailed by him. He was so angry that his nose was almost crooked!

But he still had to succumb to his tyranny, secretly cursing Lin Shan for being shameless, for making his family into such a miserable state and still wanting to extort money from them, saying that he was simply not a good person.

He smiled on the surface and waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, no, I just got a bunch of soul firewood, and I asked the demon to send it to you!"

After a while, several little demons came up carrying a bundle of black firewood.

Lin Shan started to weigh it over.

[Cluster of Soul Firewood]

Quality: Fifth-level spiritual material

Introduction: After the cluster of spiritual wood is struck by lightning and burns, the firewood that falls off can be used in many occasions such as medicine, refining tools, and soul fire.

Enhancement required: 128 points

With Lin Shan's current understanding, he immediately understood the current function of this thing.

Use soul essence to ignite it, make a fire on the firewood, take the firewood and refine it, it will become your own soul fire. According to the appraisal of the strengthening panel, it is estimated that it should be a fifth-level soul fire!
"Firewood. Will the effect be more ordinary?"

He was unsure and kept looking at it over and over again.

Now that I have reached the Nascent Soul Stage, it is indeed time to replace the Netherworld Ghost Fire. That thing is really rubbish and a disgrace to my status. It is probably of no use now.

However, soul fire or true fire also needs to be refined selectively.

Back then, he had no choice but to take the acquired Netherworld Ghost Fire from Qiu, the guardian of Jiuyou Sect, because he had no choice!
But now it’s different. Now that I have reached the Nascent Soul stage, I can look for more powerful flames.

Not to mention that it can rival Brother Ji’s Taibai Golden Flame, it must be stronger than the Netherworld Ghost Fire at least!

Regarding the 'cluster of soul firewood' presented by General Xiong, he knew very well that it should be a fifth-level soul fire suitable for alchemists. It would surely be very effective for alchemy, but it was not very good for fighting.

"I still have the Infernal Melt Worm in my hands. I can find a way to cultivate it and create the Infernal Devil Fire. I just need the Volcanic Spirit Rock."

Lin Shan was thinking in his mind that he had the Infernal Melt Worms and the Hell Melt Worm Nests in his hands, but he had never been able to cultivate them into adults because he lacked the key insect food.

This time when I returned to Lu, it seemed that the issue of merchants in the northwest must be resolved completely.

"Military Advisor Lin, Military Advisor Lin?"

General Xiong's face outside was almost frozen from laughing. At this moment, his smile was uglier than his tears.

"Hmm? Oh, good. I like this gift very much. It's very thoughtful."

Lin Shan put the things away. Although he couldn’t use them for the time being, the treasure was indeed a good treasure and there was no need to give it up since it was in his hands.

Seeing that he accepted it, General Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that he should just take the thing and leave quickly and not stay and disgust him.

But who knew that Lin Shan's voice drifted away and he turned his head to look into the distance.

"What is that blue thunder pool called?"

"Thunder Refining Wild Pond."

"That sounds good. The effect is to strengthen the muscles and bones and increase strength, right?"

"Yeah, ahhhh?"

General Xiong reacted immediately and his face turned green!
Not only did you beat me up and extort a bribe from me, you also want to soak in my treasure pool?
"Not bad!"

Lin Shan's face turned visibly cloudy and sunny, and he looked at General Xiong with a smile.

"I have just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, and my muscles and bones have not yet taken shape. As the general said during the banquet, this is a perfect opportunity to soak in this forbidden pool. I wonder if you will allow me to give it a try?"

The demons below all blushed when they heard this.

Your own ancestral land has been turned into such a miserable state, with broken walls and ruins, and a barren island, and you still have to pay tribute. You should behave like a human being!
I really want to step forward and teach this greedy human a lesson!
We, the demon race, don’t even have the chance to hook up with someone, so why should you, an outsider, have the chance?

General Xiong was extremely reluctant. He had completely lost face today, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

After all, big things come first!

"can."

"Hahahaha, then I'd better obey your command!"

Lin Shan laughed a few times and ignored the monsters. He turned into a starry rainbow, passed over the island and disappeared into the pool.

"Puff~"

A wave splashed up and disappeared without a trace.

The demons turned around and were speechless, and many of them couldn't help sobbing.

The demons have emotions just like humans and will naturally cry when they are sad, but because of discipline, they don’t wail. Many of them just wipe their tears.

General Bear was panting, his eyes were red, and even a sharp-eyed demon could tell that he was very angry!
"Let's go down first. The cave masters and demon generals will command their subordinates to rebuild the facilities and restore the island to its original appearance."

The monsters scattered and the conflict ended.

Three days later.

Lin Shan pushed General Bear and told it not to send it off.

"We are already ten miles away from the Aurora Sea. Don't worry, I can walk the rest of the way by myself."

"Take care, Advisor Lin. Be sure to come back often in the future!"

General Xiong looked reluctant and said goodbye reluctantly, with tears in his eyes, showing his true feelings.

But I kept cursing in my heart, wishing that the boy would get out of here immediately. It really made me angry just by looking at him.

Lin Shan experienced the powerful hammering of the Bear Clan's treasure pool and felt that his muscles and bones had become stronger and tougher.

He left Leiliangzhu feeling satisfied.

The Aurora Sea is at its most violent right now. It is a dangerous time except July. If someone in the Nascent Soul Stage goes in, they will most likely end up in trouble.

Fortunately, where General Xiong is stationed, there is a relatively safe channel communicating with the outside world.

Lin Shan walked along the passage for dozens of miles and found that the resistance was not as great as he had imagined, and it was relatively safer.

But in the middle of the process, he suddenly remembered something!

Blacksun of the Wuma tribe.

This person chased him and Lin Fanji back then, and was shot dead by himself in the Aurora Sea. Because his body was contaminated with weirdness, it was thrown into the depths of the Aurora Sea.

Now half a century has passed, and I don’t know what’s going on.

Lin Shan was curious and wanted to know what happened next, whether the weirdness spread in the Aurora Sea, and what Hei Xun looked like.

"Why don't you go take a look?"

Once this idea took root, it instantly grew and lingered in his mind.

Even though he knew that the Aurora Sea was now violent and dangerous, he still couldn't help but want to take a look.

After all, I don’t know when I’ll come next time!

After walking for more than ten miles, he suddenly turned off the path and headed straight for an unfamiliar area nearby.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss~~”

The Aurora Sea sensed the arrival of someone and instantly went into turmoil. Countless red, white and blue auroras swirled and rushed over, swarming together, hungry and thirsty.

"Swoosh~" Lin Shan turned into a rainbow of light, moving at an incredibly fast speed.

Hide if you can, and rely on your life-saving magic weapon Fengbo Pavilion to withstand it. There is a constant crackling sound outside.

The people inside just rush forward!
Because of the positioning of the Void Star Plate, he could still vaguely remember the location where he killed Heixun.

The auroras chasing behind us along the way gathered more and more, and formed a colorful rainbow behind us, which was chaotic and swept across flexibly.

until a certain moment.

He suddenly stopped and looked underground.

It was a black stain.

The traces left behind by Heixun being haunted by something strange after his death.

Before it left, it was only a few inches in size, but now it has spread to an area of ​​thirty meters!

But the body disappeared!

"."

Could it be that some powerful being from the outside world had come here in the past thirty years and taken away the corpse?

Haven't had time to think about it.

"!!!"

Lin Shan's hands were sweating and his scalp was tingling. Suddenly, he felt as if two pairs of eyes were staring at him.

He slowly raised his head and looked to the front right.

There was a dark shadow there.

Just across the aurora sea, I quietly stare at myself.

Silently.

Cold and dreary.

The auroras outside gathered, but did not dare to approach here, as if there was some force field of fear that caused these strange phenomena in the sky and earth to hesitate.

The black shadow was hazy and the figure seemed familiar, looming, just like a distance away, without saying a word, without any communication, but it seemed as if staring deeply at him.

Lin Shan didn't move, cold sweat gradually wet his back.

He did not feel that he was being locked by the Qi, nor did he feel any danger approaching, but his spiritual sense clearly sensed an unspeakable sense of danger!
Heixun, why are you gone?

That black shadow, could it be Hei Xun, or
He had no idea, but he didn't expect that he would see this strange scene in a moment!
He retreated slowly, not disturbing anyone.

But the moment he left, his eyes were filled with starlight, and he suddenly looked up!

It was discovered that under the power of astrology, the person inside actually revealed his true appearance!
What kind of face is that?

The scar that ran diagonally downward had become extremely hideous, with maggots crawling in and out of the rotten wound.

The rest of her body was wrapped tightly in a black dress.

Black Ten!

She died and lived again, and lived as if she were dead again.

“Weird.”

Lin Shan was trembling all over and didn't dare to stay for too long, for fear of being implicated.

Until he left, the dark shadow did not react at all, just watched him go away.

There was chaos in the sea of ​​aurora, and with countless auroras following, the place returned to peace again.

Pass through one after another.

Lin Shan escaped from the Aurora encirclement and returned to the main road. His whole body was already wet. He was frightened by the scene just now.

Heixun was clearly dead, but something strange happened and he came back to life inexplicably.

It's just that he feels very strange, as if he is no longer the same person as before, and he doesn't have that much expectation for the outside world. He just stays quietly in his own little piece of land, living in a weird way.

Or maybe, waiting for that person to come.

It's anticipation, it's expectation,
Or maybe it's a trap or a conspiracy.

He didn't dare to imagine or speculate, he could only flee quickly, the farther away from there the better!
Out of the Aurora Sea.

"Shu~"

The air around him suddenly became fresh, and his mood instantly became cheerful and sunny.

This trip to the forbidden area on the cliff allowed him to kill two enemies and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, which could be considered a great success. However, when he came out, the aurora sea and the weirdness lingered in his mind.

I shook my head vigorously, trying to remind myself not to think too much.

He found the right direction and leapt out of the Star-Swallowing Mountains.

The human-faced fox tribe.

"Sister, sister, there is news!"

Fox Buju was shouting outside the cave, claiming that he had obtained first-hand information. It was said that a human had appeared outside the Aurora Sea. They had waited for so long, and finally it happened!
"Humph, this unfaithful man took so long to come out, he must have forgotten me!"

The little fox girl immediately jumped out and took the secret letter from his hand. After reading it for a while, she felt confused and her thoughts were in a mess.

Suddenly he jumped out of the tree hole and was about to leave the camp.

"Where are you going, sister?"

Hu Buju hurriedly followed, fearing that something might happen to her.

The little fox girl ignored them, skipped away from the tribe and went into the vast forest.

Chu State, Green Spirit Mountain, Yilian Temple.

After half a century, many old people have passed away, and most of the remaining ones are new faces.

Only female disciples are accepted here, so they have never been able to develop. Without the pressure of external natural enemies or the squeeze from peers, they will probably slowly become a third-rate force in the world of cultivation due to their comfort.

In the hermitage on the top of the mountain.

The sandalwood incense is curling and the smoke from cooking is rising.

Dharma Protector Yan was tuning the zither in the bamboo forest, while Immortal Master Huang was lying on a rattan rocking chair next to him, lazily motionless, basking in the mottled sunlight.

"Old Huang, how long do you have?"

"Soon."

As soon as Master Huang opened his mouth, he found that he had difficulty speaking. His throat was dry, his eyelids drooped, and he felt drowsy.

He has been sleeping for several months in a row, and now he will continue to sleep unless he is talked to.

"I have wandered enough in my life. I have no regrets to be able to accompany you in the last moments."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of hands covered the back of his hands.

Protector Yan had a gloomy look in his eyes and was in a low mood.

In her last journey, she lived in seclusion in Shannan with her Taoist partner, spending the happiest moments together in their world of two, like a fairy couple.

Unfortunately, no matter how deep the feelings are, they cannot escape the passage of time.

Master Huang has reached the end of his life.

Due to various reasons, he consumed too much of his lifespan when he was young, which resulted in his premature death now, on the verge of sitting and passing away.

Recalling every detail of their past, she shed silent tears, which dripped onto the back of her hand.

Master Huang seemed to sense something and held her tightly with trembling hands. That was his last attachment to the world, and he owed her a long time!

But it is fate that cannot be defied, and after he leaves, Guardian Yan will be left alone.

Be silent with the heaven and earth, and be sad with the sun and the moon.

What is the purpose of people being so busy throughout their lives?
The two of them quietly enjoyed their last moments together. This moment might be just a flash, or it might take a long time. They accepted birth, aging, sickness and death calmly.

But at this moment, a person rushed in from outside.

When he saw Master Huang, who was about to die in the rocking chair, he finally breathed a sigh of relief!

"Fortunately, after all the hassle, I finally caught up!"
