Immortal Road.

Lin Shan had a look of satisfaction on his face. Seeing his disciples succeed, his face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum. His old hands affectionately held those of the three Nascent Soul cultivators, fully demonstrating his role as a strict teacher and a kind father.

He recounted the story of Xu Jizi's escape from the secret hiding place on Yuxing. As he had told it many times before, he was very familiar with it and his story became more and more fluent.

Although the disciples had their doubts, that's how the devil works. They don't take the process seriously and only focus on the results.

"Master survived a great disaster and got the elixir of immortality. Now he has returned to the mountain gate, allowing us to be reunited as master and disciple. It is a great blessing! But..."

Ji Wangzi was happy one moment, but immediately changed his tone the next.

"Back then, I didn't know that Master was still alive, and was hastily pushed to the throne of Peak Master by my fellow disciples. Now that Master has returned, I should abdicate and let the wise take over. The banner of Luwu Peak must be taken over by you, Master!"

He looked at Lin Shan with a forced smile, and Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi beside him also had subtle looks in their eyes. Faintly, a triangular aura connected into one and surrounded him.

The Jindan stage cultivators at the back all looked like they were enjoying the show, with mocking and meaningful expressions on their faces. It seemed that they had long been of the same blood as Ji Wangzi and were indeed birds of the same feather.

Lin Shan was surrounded and didn't want to expose himself. After all, he would need these Nascent Soul disciples to cover him in the future so that he could hide underneath and not attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Holy Land.

So he pretended to be panicked, coughed twice, and laughed to refuse:

"What are you talking about, disciple? Under your leadership, Luwu Peak has been thriving over the years and has become increasingly powerful. It is several times stronger than when I was in power!"

"Moreover, you have already become a Yuanying Zhenjun, while your master is still hanging around in the Jindan stage. How can you confuse the priorities?"

"In reality, whether in terms of talent or management ability, you are far superior to me, so you deserve the position of Peak Master. Don't refuse. The more capable you are, the more work you should do!"

What he said made the three of them feel very different, because the previous Xu Jizi had accumulated power for a long time and was once a great demon lord!
Whenever he got angry, he would teach his fellow apprentices a lesson severely. That experience is still fresh in his memory.

Now that he is as docile as a little lamb, they are not used to it.

"I am old and have no future. If it weren't for the Holy Land's call for this time, I would just want to stay at Luwu Peak to enjoy a leisurely and peaceful old age. How could I have the energy to go to war! It is enough for me to train the three of you into talents."

Lin Shan's words are very clever, fully reflecting the composure of the older generation of artists.

With his superb acting skills, although his tone, expression, and habits were very different from the former Xu Ji Zi, he did not arouse the suspicion of the disciples because he had been missing for more than 140 years.

Because the gap in cultivation between the Jindan stage and the Yuanying stage is there!

You old thing, your cultivation level is so low now, yet you still dare to boss us around like before. It's obvious that you are tired of living!

Therefore, the more contrast he has, the more he conforms to the code of conduct of the people in the magic world, that is, those who adapt to the situation and those who know the times are heroes.

The three disciples originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but the old man just lowered his posture, making them feel like they were punching cotton, and they couldn't help but feel bored.

I feel there is no point in bullying an old man like this.

Lin Shan fully understands their psychology. The more you resist, the more excited they become. But if you act like you have accepted your fate, they will find it boring.

After some probing, Ji Wangzi stopped pretending.

He returned to the starting point and began to arrange many matters in the camp, ignoring Lin Shan directly. Of course, he did not assign him any tasks, and it was obvious that he did not want to give him power.

Lin Shan was also happy to be idle, and sat leisurely at the end, looking as if he had nothing to do with it and was just waiting to die.

Those Jindan stage cultivators were all lackeys of the three major disciples, so naturally they would not come over to say hello to him, their uncle.

This went on for another half an hour, and then the meeting ended and everyone left their tents.

After everyone has left.

Ji Wangzi, Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi gathered together.

"Brother, that old man Xu Jizi looks very different from before. Do we still want him?"

"No need, he poses no threat."

"I have just checked his entire body. His cultivation has regressed and his blood and energy are depleted. In this state, he dares to come to the front line of the Fallen Demon Valley. He is really courting death!"

"It's really strange. Xu Hongzi and Ji Youzi are still guarding Luwu Peak. Why did they send him here?"

"I heard from the deacon from the peak who accompanied us that it was this old man who asked to come here."

"Oh??"

The three people had different expressions and they all speculated about Lin Shan's motives.

"Could it be that he still wants to make one last effort to reach the Nascent Soul stage?"

"It's possible. Although he just acted very sensible, he may have some ulterior motives. The temptation of doubling the lifespan of a Yuanying stage cultivator is a deadly poison to an old immortal like him."

"Humph, I knew this old guy was pretending. How could he hide this from anyone? But with his cautious attitude now, it's really hard to take action against him without giving us any handle or excuse."

Although the magic path emphasizes strength, it does not pay much attention to seniority.

But when it comes to respecting teachers, no matter how disdainful you are in your heart, you still have to at least obey it on the surface. This is a system that has been passed down from generation to generation, especially in top sects!
As long as Lin Shan didn't make any mistakes, these three people couldn't harm their master without any reason, especially in the front-line camp where everyone was watching.

Of course, once out in the wild, he has no say on this.

"Don't worry about it. There are a hundred ways to kill him. The most urgent task now is to improve the overall strength of our Luwu Peak."

“That old fellow Shenwu, relying on his seniority being two generations higher than ours, actually blocked the three of us brothers from entering the ranks of Nascent Soul Elders. He had to come up with some high-sounding excuses like the Spiritual Tide War, his lack of experience, and the need for training!”

"In my opinion, this is clearly because they don't want me from Luwu Peak to share the power and resource allocation between the other peaks!"

"Yes! The position of elder is extremely important. It is a channel for us to control the power of speech in the sect and allocate resources. It is also free from the control of the head of the sect. We must get it!"

"Alas, it's a pity that we at Luwu Peak don't have anyone in the Elders' Council, otherwise we could have received everyone in long ago. Why are we in this awkward situation now where we can't go up or down?"

"My second junior brother, don't worry. If Elder Shenwu doesn't give us any leniency, we can contact other people, such as Fairy Yunxi, the liaison envoy of Danding Holy Land."

Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi hesitated slightly after hearing this. In fact, they didn't really want to have any contact with people from the Holy Land. It was mainly because of the other party's condescending attitude and the coldness that kept strangers away, which really made them feel uncomfortable.

Strictly speaking, it makes them feel inferior at times.

Ji Wangzi looked around. How could he not understand the concerns of his two fellow apprentices? He snorted coldly.

"You two are both in the Nascent Soul stage, but you still can't lower yourself. What's wrong with being a dog?"

"Being dogs for the Holy Land, even if they can feed us a bone, it's enough for us to lick it for a while when we go back. It's not shameful!"

"Especially the Dan Ding Holy Land is where the alchemists of this world gather. The first four people who came this time, including Fairy Yunxi, are all top alchemy masters!"

"As long as we can get along well with them, they will give us some elixirs. These are rare opportunities in the outside world. Compared with the spiritual tide that is so close in front of us, can't you tell which is more important?"

"The Spirit Tide is prepared for the Holy Land's Heavenly Prodigies and old monsters, for the Great Divine Masters and the mighty ones in the Yuanshen Stage! We must do our own part well and work hard to curry favor with them, which is the path to ascending to the heavens in the future."

Ji Wangzi's eyes suddenly became fierce, and that fierceness made the two people beside him feel frightened. Otherwise, he was the eldest brother and had always been superior to them. It was that desperate fierceness. A real man can bend and stretch. Otherwise, why did Xu Jizi have such high hopes for him in the first place, and would focus on training him even if he knew that there would be a backlash one day?
Because only this kind of person, in the long run, will have the possibility to inherit the title of Peak Master and carry on the legacy of Luwu Peak.

"I have already established contact with Fairy Yunxi. I originally got a promise of a Tribulation Pill. Now that Xu Jizi is back, we should report this old man as well. Master Shenwu attaches great importance to seniority, so he might include Xu Jizi in the list of Nascent Soul seeds. Then I can fight for two more Tribulation Pills, and my demon infant clone can try to transcend the tribulation."

Ji Yuanzi and Ji Kangzi were secretly shocked, and after thinking quickly, they clapped their hands and praised their senior brother for his wisdom.

The two had no objection to the fact that Danding Holy Land originally gave out precious fifth-grade elixirs to cultivate Nascent Soul cultivators for Xushen Mountain, but it turned out to be a means for him to privately cultivate his clones.

Isn’t the Demon Infant’s clone equivalent to cultivating an extra Nascent Soul cultivator?

The process is not important, as long as the result is the same.

It seems that Xu Jizi, this cheap master, still has some surplus value.

Lin Shan walked around the camp and finally found the tent that Lu Wufeng had prepared for him.

The place is not big, just about ten feet in size, which is enough for him to practice and live.

Because the cauldron in the center has a limited coverage area, and the number of people in the entire camp is huge, there is not much living space in the camp, so everything is kept simple.

Fortunately, those who practice Taoism do not care whether the environment is harsh or not. Having a place to live is enough.

He took out a micro array disk and set up restrictions. After completing the basic protection, he closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to practice, quietly waiting for the next arrangement.

Not long after, the interstellar pager on his body rang again.

Lin Shan was a little surprised. Ever since Zhang Yunxi gave him this thing, she seemed to have never urged him, but this time she actually took the initiative to contact him.

"Friend Lin, have you been busy recently?"

The other party came up and started to exchange pleasantries. Lin Shan couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he responded ambiguously.

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"The second spiritual tide of the Wanhui Year, do you want to participate?"

Zhang Yunxi did not mention the God of Joy, but suddenly mentioned the spiritual tide.

Lin Shan became alert. This woman had clearly sneaked into the Danding Holy Land, and it seemed that a battle in the Fallen Demon Valley was imminent. Why was she suddenly telling him this?
"What do you want."

"Nothing, there's a great opportunity where I am, and I need an outsider to help. I thought about it but couldn't find the right person, and you just happened to contact me a while ago, so I thought of you."

"Oh? I'd like to hear what great opportunity it is that you're willing to share with outsiders?"

"Have you ever heard of Jin's sinking into the Demonic Valley?"

The other party thought she was hiding well and was not afraid of exposing her location. Even if Lin Shan came here, he would definitely not know that her real identity was Fairy Yunxi from the Danding Holy Land.

She is still confident about this.

Lin Shan remained calm and replied after a brief thought.

"I have heard that there seems to be a projection of the demon world in the Fallen Demon Valley, and there is also the arrival of the Dark Star, but I only learned a little bit about it in Wanxiang City, and I don't know the details yet."

But just this little bit of information was enough to surprise Zhang Yunxi!

"You actually know the specific information about the spiritual tide here?"

But she reacted quickly.

"It's no wonder that Vientiane City is like that."

"Since you know all this, it seems that you have studied this place before, which means that you are interested in the Fallen Demon Valley. It seems that we have a foundation for cooperation."

"Oh?"

Lin Shan smiled. He wanted to hear what this girl could say.

The other party obviously had a plan in mind before talking to him, and the information he introduced at this moment was not only brief but also to the point!

He actually revealed the general layout of the four holy places in one go, which was almost the same as what he had heard in the big tent of Danding Holy Land before.

".This is the current situation. Penglai Holy Land has the upper hand, and the other three holy lands are catching up in the late stage. In two more months, the demon tide will retreat, and a new war will begin!"

"At that time, we can take advantage of the situation and follow the Holy Land into the passage they opened, and then meet up in the valley together."

"I have a way to help you get in touch with the absolute secrets of this spiritual tide. Don't you want to give it a try and see what the real heaven-sent opportunity of Wanhui Nian looks like?

How does the ship of the great supernatural being set sail! Where does the source of power of the Yuan Shen period come from? Where is the path to advancement in the future hidden? "

Lin Shan was not bewitched by her words, but asked with a smile into the pager.

"Would you be so kind? To bring me to Lingchao Opportunity to see the world? It seems that our relationship is not that good."

"I need Fellow Daoist Lin to help me kill someone."

"who?"

"The pride of the Holy Land of Penglai, Shui Xingye!"

"."

Lin Shan fell into deep thought for a moment. He had never heard of the name Shui Xingye before. It was only after coming here that he knew for the first time that there was such a person in East Penglai.

But why did Zhang Yunxi want to kill this person? It sounded like they were mortal enemies.

"I've heard that Taiyin Hanxi's body is close to perfection, and he has no rivals below his primordial spirit. He is a rising genius in the East Penglai Wanhui Year. Such a person is extremely dangerous and can capsize if you're not careful. What's your grudge against him?"

"You actually know Shui Xingye!"

Zhang Yunxi on the other end of the pager couldn't help but exclaimed, and once again looked at him with admiration, not expecting him to be so well-informed.

The reason why Lin Shan told the other party that he knew was to prevent her from fooling him and to hint to her that he did have other sources of information.

"Don't worry about that. My purpose this time is not for the spiritual tide, but for Shui Xingye."

"The reason why I came to find Fellow Daoist Lin is that after the last trip to the Viruo Desert, Gu Hun fought a fierce battle with you but never showed up again. I asked someone in Wanxiang City in Kaiyuan Realm to tell his fortune and found out that he had already died in the void!"

"I deeply admire Fellow Daoist Lin's strength, so I specially invited you to join me in killing Shui Xingye. If my guess is correct, most of the treasures that the Black Lotus Sect received from the upper realm have fallen into your hands."

"As long as you can help me this time, I will give you the fragment of the fairy treasure in my hand!"
