Chapter 796: Letter from Jing Yang, Illusion Storm

Everyone was excited.

The leader has to take action personally and go to northwest Shandong to deal with Zhong Shenxiu?

The two young boys' Nascent Souls clash, who is stronger and who is weaker?
Regarding this, they are naturally more inclined to their own leader, because Zhong Shenxiu is too far away from them, they basically have no intersection with him, and they don’t understand the situation.

But Lin Shan was right by their side, and every time he came back he was able to turn the tide. In their eyes, he was almost omnipotent!
"Elder Hei Ku, you continue to guard the house. I will go to the northern front myself."

Lin Shan handed the Soul-Locking Pot and the Mysterious Bow of Annihilation to it without any explanation, and asked it to strengthen them to the level of ancient treasures as soon as possible.

These two things are the few magic weapons he has that he will need in the future, but they are no longer enough in the Nascent Soul stage. It is just right for him to ask the Black Skull Demon Lord, the master of refining, to upgrade him.

"You have to figure out the materials yourself."

"no."

The Black Skull Demon Lord was holding a magic weapon in his hand. Seeing that Lin Shan had left him behind to guard the house again, he became very anxious.

The key point is, how do you want me to find this kind of suitable fifth-level spiritual material for you?
"If this matter can be done, the soul source will be indispensable to you."

"Okay! Don't worry~"

The Black Skull Demon Lord immediately swallowed his complaints, patted his chest and said that he would definitely complete the task!
At this time, Lu Xiuming handed over another bamboo tube.

"Master, this is what Master Yueshang from Jingyang Academy sent out when he came out of seclusion. He asked for you to open it in person."

Yueshang is Shui Bingyue's Taoist name.

Lin Shan pulled out a letter from the bamboo tube. It was sealed with true essence and could only be unsealed by a person in the Nascent Soul stage. It seemed that Shui Bingyue had full confidence in his cultivation.

It was predicted decades ago that he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.

After it was opened, thousands of words were found written on it, explaining how the Jingyang Academy was attacked.

Especially the opponent, the Holy Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace!
It was the first time that Lin Shan knew that Sailor Moon and this woman were mortal enemies?
However, the specific reason was not revealed. He just said that when he came back and had time, he would visit Jingyang Academy.

There was a message revealed between her words that Shui Bingyue was unwilling to give up and wanted to go looking for trouble with the Saint of the Cai Nu Palace, and she wanted to drag him along with her!

"Cai Yu Bing"

Lin Shan murmured, repeating the new name he had learned.

The other party is the Saint of the Cha Nu Palace, and the Cha Nu Palace itself is not a small family. If the two of them just go there, they may not be able to achieve anything.

Sailor Moon might have been preparing for this over the years. Attacking a top force is no small matter and one must think twice before acting.

He put the matter aside for the time being. After he stabilized the Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League, it would not be too late to find Shui Bingyue to find out the situation.

At this time, the banquet was still going on.

Lu Xiuming had almost finished his report, and there were still a lot of guests waiting.

Lin Shan began to meet them one by one.

"Zhou Chongli, meet Master Lin!"

"Haha, Master Zhou, we are old acquaintances. There is no need to be polite. Sit down!"

This former doctor of the Five Classics at Yunchuan Academy has now become a visiting professor of Xungu Sect, specifically responsible for communication between the two sects.

I was once overwhelmed and unable to cope with the tension between Xun Gu Sect and Bai Lu Academy.

Now he finally waited for Lin Shan to return in full force, especially the young Nascent Soul, which gave him a great shock!
He also went to the Central Region that year and participated in Zhong Shenxiu's Yuanying Ceremony!
In comparison, the two are on par with each other.

At this age, he has a bright future!
He couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate for his previous decision to contact the Xun Gu Sect. Fortunately, they had been building friendly relations and had a deep bond, and he did not back down under pressure from the Bai Lu Academy.

The two talked a lot about cooperation.

During this period, Master Zhou was obviously not as talkative and relaxed as before. He became respectful and reserved, and his words were full of concessions, as if he was fully supporting the rapid rise of Xun Gu Sect.

Lin Shan was very satisfied with the attitude of Yunchuan Academy. This local academy in western Shandong had never suppressed the Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League. They had a relationship of mutual assistance and could be called ironclad allies. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Seeing that the other party was so understanding, he also said that he would visit them when he had time to repay the professors for their strong support!

After the friendly exchanges between the two sides, they went to the new capital of Hongdu in southwest Shandong.

At that time, the prefecture rose from the chaos in the Mekong River basin, re-established order in southwestern Shandong, and wanted to replace the Zhenzhi Academy, which was destroyed among the ten major academies.

At that time, Lin Shan went there specially to watch the ceremony and had a mutual understanding with the mansion's lord, Kong Shen Zi.

So many years have passed.

After the top forces in the Central Region came to the southwest of Shandong to conduct investigations, they were slow to acknowledge their legitimacy.

The new Hongdu government tried every means to get help from everyone, but could not get the position it wanted.

Finally, they faced reality. It was obvious that when those waves of envoys from the Central Region came, they hinted that they should accept various treaties and serve as dogs for various families in exchange for their support.

If you want to remain highly independent, I'm sorry, but we won't recognize you either. Just fend for yourself!

Various overt and covert sanctions followed.

In order to break the blockade, they had to establish good relations with their neighbors in western Shandong and seek cooperation with the Lujiang League.

Especially when he heard that the leader of the Lujiang Alliance had returned, he rushed to the Xungu Sect and prepared generous gifts and sincerity.

Lin Shan immediately encouraged them, saying that it didn’t matter if the four major families in the Central Region did not recognize it, as the Lujiang League and the Xun Gu Sect would recognize it!

Master Zhou followed closely and quickly stated that Yunchuan Academy also recognized it!

A large group of messy sects and families from Luxi followed suit, shouting that they also admitted it.

This made the envoy from the new Hongdu government so happy that he almost knelt down to Lin Shan on the spot!
After receiving these two families, the next are the members of the Lujiang Alliance.

Deputy Alliance Leader Yang briefly reported the situation within the alliance to him, and after he had a general idea of ​​the situation, the melee finally began!
Because he was absent for a long time, Deputy Alliance Leader Yang was unable to suppress it. Conflicts within the alliance gradually arose, interests were intertwined, the pie resources were unevenly distributed, and internal conflicts arose.
All kinds of accusations, requests for mercy, quarrels, reports, cries of injustice, and appeals.
All these messy things were revealed at once by the leaders of various forces when he came back.

The key point is, there are actually people crying poor among them!

A certain Jindan Zhenren cried and claimed that his sect was running out of money and could no longer operate, but all the allies in the Lujiang League turned a blind eye and did not help, so he had to run to Linshan to appeal in person.

Deputy Alliance Leader Yang stood behind him and explained one by one the origins of this group of people, their grudges, their situations, and the causes and consequences.

Especially when hearing this cry of poverty, it is not because of being deliberately targeted by others, but because of poor management, turnover difficulties, and the brink of bankruptcy. Who can be blamed! Lin Shan's face is ugly. What kind of weirdo is this? How did he get into the Lujiang League?

He is now in a lot of debt with the Xun Gu Sect, so how can he help you with your poverty alleviation?

The current environment is already very competitive, and the living space of all walks of life in the world of cultivation is being squeezed. I'm not your parent, and it's wishful thinking if I join an alliance and then ask for favors everywhere!
He ordered his men to kick this guy out on the spot and expelled him from the Lujiang League.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The various sects and families no longer dared to quarrel, for fear that the leader would get angry and kick them out.

"You can ask Vice Alliance Leader Yang to mediate any private disputes between you. I will arrange for General Manager Lu of Xun Gu Sect to assist you and sort out all the disputes one by one."

Lin Shan didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters, so he pointed out a clear path for this group of people.

"Now that I have returned, the merchants in northwestern Shandong and the Shangyang Academy have provoked and caused trouble countless times. It is time to teach them a lesson!"

"Follow the Xun Gu Sect, eat the meat if you can, drink the soup if you can, hurry up and make plans, and take action in advance."

"When they are free, our people from the Lujiang League will move in. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

The best way to divert conflicts is to provoke disputes with other countries.

The small Xun Gu Sect certainly cannot eat up such a big plate as northwest Shandong, so he plans to share it with his younger brothers in the alliance.

This trip must be fast, accurate and ruthless!

While he had just returned and the four major families in the Central Region had not yet reacted, he first incorporated the northwest of Shandong into his sphere of influence.

The size of Xun Gu Sect is still too small, and it still needs to be integrated when there is a chance.
The welcoming ceremony lasted for an entire afternoon.

By the evening, basically everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and everyone tactfully said goodbye and hurried back to prepare and pack up, planning how to follow the Xun Gu Sect and advance northward to encroach on them.

When no one was around, Lu Xiuming reported to Lin Shan about the achievements of the past few years.

Except for the central region and northwest Lu, all the antiques and cultural relics in the remote areas of the other seven regions of Lu were secretly searched, which took a full sixty years!

He touched all the ancient artifacts with his own hands, and this time he obtained a total of 125 points of ancient charm. Taking into account the remaining 37 points used to enhance the Black Skull Demon Lord's purple contract, the value on the enhancement panel reached 162 points!
"That is to say, in a country's cultivation world, the total amount of all the collectible ancient artifacts among the people should be around 150 points."

Lin Shan had a rough idea in his mind. Lu had a vast territory and was a major Confucian country, so it was normal for it to have more than other countries.

Now that Gu Yun has recovered again, coupled with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, he needs to expand the forces under his command as much as possible to help himself go out to other countries to spread the harvest!
There are still many countries in this world, and he has more ancient charms that need to be taken into his hands!
But it needs more powerful forces and manpower to do things for itself.

"The ancient rhyme you have obtained must be transformed into your own strength as soon as possible."

What he needs to strengthen most now is his life-saving magic weapon Fengbo Pavilion, as well as the "Wind and Thunder Art" and the "Nirvana Mysterious Embryo Art".

However, since each level requires 64 points to advance, Gu Yun is only enough to advance two levels, so one level needs to be put aside for the time being.

After a brief thought, since he already had the Nascent Soul stage technique "Red Falling Meteorite Sutra", he decided to upgrade the "Silence Mysterious Embryo Technique" first.

Because this is the main practice of the Silent Clone, if there is no subsequent practice content in the Nascent Soul stage, it will seriously hinder the growth speed of the clone!

Although the clone also studied and practiced the "White Bone Sutra" and the "Corpse Wheel Peptide Poison Sutra", he could only practice them step by step on his own.

However, Xuantai of Jiemie can rely on his "weird Dharma appearance" to directly devour the Nascent Soul of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to improve his cultivation!
It would be a waste of talent to ignore this incredible way of improvement and instead practice hard on your own.

Anyway, all the enemies he killed along the way can be recycled, which is a convenient thing to do.

The remaining one was weighing the pros and cons between Fengbo Pavilion and "Wind and Thunder Art".

The natal magic weapon must be strengthened sooner or later. The sooner it is strengthened, the sooner you can enjoy it. However, there is hope that the skills can be found in reality.

After Lin Fan reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he will become one of the elders of Zixiao Sect. Naturally, he will be able to find out the whereabouts of Ouyang Feng, a disciple abandoned by Zixiao Sect a thousand years ago. He can then find the "Wind and Thunder Sutra".

It’s a pity that he has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and has not yet gained true knowledge of the road ahead.

Otherwise, with my current understanding, if I can reach the late Nascent Soul stage, I can also create my own "Wind and Thunder Sutra" based on my understanding of the entire Nascent Soul stage!
To create a method, it is not enough to have only the understanding. It is impossible to imagine it out of thin air. That is like a castle in the air or duckweed in the water.

You still have to rely on the reality. Only by going through the whole journey yourself can you absorb all the experience and create suitable and correct skills.

He couldn't help but sigh, how the ancient ancestors had no reference, and they blazed a trail from scratch, crossing the river on stones, and groping step by step, and opened up the entire immortal civilization!
In the grand epic narrative, he is just a wave in the long river and still has a long way to go.

He took out a storage magic weapon and gave it to Lu Xiuming.

"The spiritual wine in here is what I got when I traveled abroad. After refining, it can improve the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage. You can distribute it as a reward to potential Golden Core True Persons based on their contributions to the sect."

Although he has many talented subordinates and those in the Jindan stage can stand on their own in most situations, Lin Shan feels that this is not enough and hopes that they can grow up quickly and help him.

"As for these magic weapons, classics, materials, spirit stones, etc., you can do whatever you want."

"As ordered!"

Lu Xiuming probed his spiritual sense inside to check and took a breath, because there were so many things inside that he was overwhelmed!

After understanding what was going on, he bowed and retreated.

Return to a place where one is alone.

Lin Shan took out his natal magic weapon and started strengthening it directly!
In the darkness, this small four-cornered pavilion, under the mysterious rules, emits a hazy green light, and layers of illusory stone tiles begin to stack, gradually becoming taller and wider.

In just a blink of an eye, it became an angular octagonal pavilion!
The eight pillars are thick and strong, supporting the pavilion eaves with neatly tiled roofs.

For no reason, there was a sound of wind in my ears.

Suddenly, strong winds blew all around, causing the wind spirit to roar for no reason. Lin Shan hurried to suppress it for fear of affecting the outside world!
