Immortal Road.

Chapter 806: A great scholar has argued for me

Zhong Shenxiu is gone.

In the end, he was still unable to withstand the twenty-seven thunder tribulations without any damage. He was seriously injured and mentally shaken. He was defeated completely and miserably!
Before leaving, he was polite enough to leave the little fox girl behind while she was still conscious.

And behind it, there are two faint ripples following closely. If you don't look carefully, you will miss them in the night.

It was the middle-aged man with the crooked neck and the little boy, two Nascent Soul stage wandering cultivators, who were obviously frightened and did not dare to stay here any longer. Instead, they ran after Zhong Shenxiu to see if there was any chance of getting something for nothing.

Lin Shan was still sitting upright in the pavilion.

Without moving, he refined the spiritual treasure cave beneath his body.

This thing is of utmost importance, he would never abandon it and chase after others. Mu Yan behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had a backer from now on, and he would not have to wander around anymore.

The Lujiang League below is already cheering loudly!

Only then did everyone truly realize how powerful their leader was!
After all, in the three previous battles of Xun Gu Sect, Shang Shang’s ancestral land, and Shangyang Academy, Lin Shan did not actually take action. Just serving as a deterrent was enough.

This left the people below with only a vague guess about his strength.

But this time he was facing the successor of Confucianism, Zhong Shenxiu, who was well-known in Lu State and finally made his real appearance.

The opponent couldn't even break the leader's defense, and the leader knocked the opponent down with just one move!

Obviously, nothing can unite people better than a resounding victory.

Precisely because of the presence of such a powerful leader, all disciples and members of the alliance will have a stronger sense of belonging, and centripetal force will arise from this.

In the long run, the Lujiang League will become more and more united and closer, until finally there will be no distinction between you and me, and we will be as close as one family.
This is the top-level force, with various mountains, numerous Taoist sects, and the prototype of all things returning to their roots!
The Chinese celebrities who were watching the whole process from outside and witnessed all of this obviously also realized this clearly.

Lujiang League.

It’s about to rise!

If the swift destruction of Shangyang Academy was considered the beginning of the assault on the top powers;
Then the victory of the Lujiang leader over the Confucian genius Zhong Shenxiu was the first shot in the charge!
It became an instant hit!

From now on, this young Yuanying will ride on the reputation created by Zhong Shenxiu and Bailu Academy for so many years and rush to the pinnacle of fame in the State of Lu in one fell swoop!

Actual battle results are far more intuitive than holding a Nascent Soul Ceremony!

Many young rookies used to admire Zhong Shenxiu extremely, especially after he reached the Nascent Soul stage as a teenager, when they once reached the peak.

Now, it was suddenly collapsed.

Their beliefs were shattered, making them feel dazed and a little doubtful about life.

Why was it that the top genius from the Central Region, after coming to such a remote place as northwest Shandong, was defeated by someone of the same level, and suffered a crushing defeat, leaving with his face covered?

This world is so extraordinary. Is this really what our elders often say: There are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you?
However, after facing the reality, many celebrities immediately felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. After bowing deeply to the person in the pavilion from afar, they quickly turned around and flew away, fearing that they would stay here for a moment longer.

Soon the young people also reacted and immediately followed suit. After doing so, they turned around and ran away, following the old hands!
"The leader."

Seeing this, Mu Yan gently reminded and asked whether they wanted to keep those people.

Lin Shan didn't even open his eyelids, but his powerful consciousness had already sensed everything, and his lips slightly opened.

"Don't worry about them. Just leave them alone."

"Yes."

These people are all witnesses of today. After returning, they will definitely spread everything they saw and heard, and become loyal messengers of his reputation in the Central Region!
"You have to remember that as a person, you need to have a big vision."

"Many times, many things don't need to be deliberate or taken too seriously."

"As long as you become stronger, everything that has troubled you will be solved!"

When Lin Shan spoke at this time, there was a steady power in him that made people unconsciously convinced and just listen to his leisurely muttering.

"When I enter the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate the classics for me."

Mu Yan was shocked!
He couldn't help but murmur these words softly.

"When I enter the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate for me."

I instantly realized the mystery of it, and the wisdom it contains is simply unparalleled.

"Master, I understand!!!"

Lin Shan was puzzled.

He just pretended to be cool and said a few words in front of the young people, and he thought he had realized it?
"Well, let's go down."

He was still busy refining the Lingbao Cave Heaven and had no time to talk to others about these messy things. He ordered Mu Yan to quickly help restore order and reorganize the infrastructure work of Shangyang Academy.

Seven days later.

Lingbao Cave Heaven encountered numerous obstacles at the beginning, but its resistance became increasingly weak until it was completely refined!

Lin Shan could also clearly sense the different levels of difficulty from this. It was obvious that the treasure changed hands quickly because the original owner was getting farther and farther away from him and his connection with Lingbao Cave Heaven was getting weaker and weaker.

After the refining was successful, the cave shrank immediately and turned into a miniature palace floating in his hand. However, it was severely damaged, and many corners were damaged by the battle.

【Chaoge】(Self-repairing)
Quality: Lingbao Cave

Introduction: In the ancient Shang Dynasty, all the cultivation world in the country was gathered together, and after a long time, a cave was built, where spiritual energy could circulate internally, and the flow of time was consistent with that of the outside world.

The current number of built-in spiritual veins: medium spiritual veins (5), small spiritual veins (17), micro spiritual veins (128), spiritual springs (894)

Enhancement required: 128 points

The name of this palace Lingbao was Chaoge. It was the center that everyone in the Shang State yearned for at that time. Later, after years and changes in the times, it has been hidden deep underground.

After a long period of historical evolution, the remnants of the Shang Dynasty gradually withered away. They were once discovered and invaded by foreign tribes. After they finally rose up to resist, they all died in battle until the last man.

Later, new settlers moved in and it became the home of the Feathered People.

It’s just that success or failure depends on the cave. Once you enter here, there is no need to fight for the sacred mountain and blessed land outside. You can just hide away and enjoy the peace and quiet without competing with the world.

Without ambition and external threats, the Feathered People quickly declined from a large super tribe of aliens in their heyday to a handful of small cats and cats.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and eventually other forces will set their sights on this place.

Later, in order to avoid external covetousness, the Feathered People began to relocate and wander around. Finally, during one of their escapes, they fell into the Yunmeng Lake and sank there.

Now, because of the opening of the Wanhui Year, the earth's crust plates are squeezed and collided, and spiritual energy is gushing out between heaven and earth. The Chaoge Cave Heaven is also "gushed" out and reappears in the world.

So the Feathered People inside started to think about it, and happened to meet Mu Yan who had strayed into the trap. Together with Zhong Shenxiu and others who were following Mu Yan, after some careful planning, they successfully escaped from the blockade.
Unfortunately, it was delivered to Lin Shan's mouth and he swallowed it in one bite!
These events were also extracted from the confessions of the captured Yu people by the people under the Lujiang League during the interrogation in recent days.

After so long, the gap in Lingbao Cave Heaven was undergoing self-adjustment and repair, and a layer of membrane was slowly forming inside.

This layer of membrane can isolate the cave from the outside world's pressure and can be regarded as a temporary protective cover, but the gap must be filled with materials and repaired.

This expense cannot be saved.

Lin Shan thought that he would ask the Black Skull Demon Lord to repair it for him when he returned.

As for the number of spirit veins, it can be described in two words.

"puffiness".

Don’t be fooled by the number of spiritual veins, there are medium, small, micro, and spiritual springs, there are thousands of them in total!

But in fact, after Zhong Shenxiu used the secret method to harm the soul twice, the foundation of the spiritual vein has been seriously damaged. The concentration of spiritual energy in the cave is very low, and the speed of cultivation has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, it is also an essential step to find new spiritual veins outside and migrate them in to restore the previous concentration.

Lin Shan put away Lingbao Dongtian and fell to the ground.

Master Zhankong found out and came looking for him.

"Master, after counting these days, a total of more than 17,000 people from Shangyang Academy were captured, including three Jindan-stage teachers, more than 150 foundation-building teachers, and the rest were Qi-training students."

"More than 8,000 people of the Feather Tribe escaped from the cave heaven, including more than 120 people in the foundation building stage, more than 3,000 people in the Qi training stage, and the rest are mortals without any cultivation."

"How do you think we should deal with it?"

Lin Shan walked along the street, examining the surrounding construction schedules, nodding his head constantly, praising the disciples of various sects in the Lujiang League for their diligence and responsible attitude towards the construction.

I think in a few days, the original site of Shangyang Academy will be completely renewed.

"Tell me what you are going to do with it."

At his level, he was too lazy to think about the trivial matters below.

The people below him come up with a plan and he makes the final decision. If it’s okay, it’s okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not okay.

You want to ask me for guidance?

No guidance is available.

I have an idea, so I just give the order. What else do I need you to do?
Therefore, many times, the subordinates carefully guess what the superiors are thinking, but they don’t know that the superiors have no ideas at all. They just ask you to make changes because they are too lazy to think and simply feel dissatisfied with the solutions provided by the subordinates.

If you ask how to change it, I'm sorry, he doesn't know how to change it either.

Master Zhan Kong is now in such a dilemma.

He proposed to kill all the captives in Shangyang Academy to eliminate the root of the problem, prevent them from becoming a threat in the future and ensure the future peace and stability in northwest Shandong.

Lin Shan rejected the proposal as too brutal.

If he had just destroyed Shangyang Academy, he might have agreed, since he didn't care about his reputation anyway. But now that he has defeated Zhong Shenxiu, he suddenly starts to feel a bit like an idol!

Killing people can certainly solve the problem once and for all, but for a Confucian country to do so is not beneficial to itself in the long run, and it is also easy for others to catch it and magnify it and criticize it.

What's more, he didn't believe that any of these people would be able to grow up and compete with him in the future!
As long as he can maintain his leading position in strength, these people will not be able to pose a threat to him in the future even if he does not kill them.

Master Zhan Kong offered another suggestion, saying that all these captives could be sold to the underground slave market, which would be a good way to make some extra money!
But Lin Shan instinctively felt that something was wrong, because as soon as you sold these people, the hostile forces would definitely buy them all away.

By then, the other side will become the opposition's base camp, and will specifically oppose our own forces in the future. How annoying will that be?

Later, Master Zhan Kong suggested that the money should be directly distributed internally layer by layer to all the sects and families in the Lujiang League who participated in this war. From then on, all of them would be branded as slaves for the next seven generations!
Prevent the descendants of captives from taking power and corrupting the power centers of allies.

After all, there are many stories in ancient history books about prisoners who gradually became guests of honor and finally usurped the throne and became the master.

Only then did Lin Shan feel that it was reliable and passed the proposal.

As for the captives of the Feather Tribe, it will be easy to deal with them. We don’t need to worry about them because they are not of our tribe. We can just make them our slaves for generations!
As for the supplies obtained from the destruction of Shangyang Academy and those looted from the Cave Heaven by the Yu Clan, they were all counted out and presented to Lin Shan for personal review.

He simply waved his hand and used it to pay off all the foreign debts owed by the Black Skull Demon Lord to the Xun Gu Sect. Then he put a lot of high-quality assets into the name of the Xun Gu Sect, and distributed the rest to the allies according to their work.

These are basic operations, and no one below dares to gossip about them.

But when it comes to the Feather Clan’s harvest, it’s a little unsatisfactory.

Through interrogation, it was learned that two Yuanying stage ancestors of the Feather Clan took away almost 80% of the wealth when they escaped!

What remained were just some remaining members and some tribesmen with no potential.

"Master, the key point is that it is said that the Feather Clan was once one of the top three super clans among the alien races in this world!"

"This branch of the Feather Clan belongs to the lineage that left in the past. They also produced a person with great magical powers. Their ancestors were glorious and their origins are extraordinary."

"Maybe there really is some great legacy, should we take it?"

Master Zhankong has now changed from being cautious to being flamboyant. He probably thinks that with the support of the leader, it is no problem for him to be a little arrogant.

When Lin Shan heard this, he was also a little tempted.

Once a branch of a super clan, it had produced a great master, but now it has declined to this state, and I have even robbed someone else's spiritual treasure cave.
With so many reasons, it is definitely worth his effort!
"Right now, organize a team and go to the neighboring countries to the west and north to secretly investigate their whereabouts. I need detailed intelligence so that we can capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Yes!"

Master Zhankong accepted the order and then reported another matter.

Even many people from the Lujiang League have gradually seized the sphere of influence of many Shangyang Academy and businesses in recent days.

Sometimes it is inevitable to have conflicts with some local tyrants in northwest Shandong.

But ever since Lin Shan became famous after the battle, these local tyrants have been swallowing their anger, not daring to speak out, and swallowing their anger. After all, there is a sword three feet above their heads!

Any rash action could bring about fatal disaster. Shangjia and Shangyang Academy are examples of this.

This allowed many allies of the Lujiang League to take advantage of the power of the other side, and some even went too far and began to mess around, attacking and occupying the territories of irrelevant forces.

"Master, these people are greedy and have made enemies everywhere in northwest Shandong for the Lujiang League. They are fanning the flames and even using your name to bully others. Do you think you should rectify the atmosphere within the league?"

Lin Shan walked around and entered the ancestral temple of Shangyang Academy, which is currently the meeting hall of Lujiang League.

"Okay, you can find some time to give them a try. Also, I asked you to go to the Liluan Mountains to investigate the news about the Volcano Spirit Rock in the volcano group. How is it going?"
