Immortal Road.

Kaiyuan Realm.

Bu Suanzi put down the shell in his hand and took a leisurely puff of his cigarette. He was no longer as panicked as he had just been when facing the Green Lotus Fairy.
"Master, you are teasing the Black Lotus Buddha like this, aren't you afraid that he will react later?"

The little kid next to him was holding a big banana leaf and struggling to fan the small and broken bellows in front of him. Across from him, a thick soup was being boiled in a large vat, bubbling with green bubbles.

He witnessed the whole process and was very confused as to why the master did this.

Bu Suanzi's old face was relaxed, he smacked his lips, and puffed out smoke like a god.

"Humph, she always buys on credit and asks me to tell her fortune for free. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

"Whose life span is blown by the wind? What's the difference between what she is doing and taking my life?"

"Although I can't afford to offend an immortal like you, can I hide from you? If you have the guts, let her find me first!"

The little boy shrank back and looked at him with his head down:
"What if they really come looking for us?"

"Uh"

Bu Suanzi was choked and began to seriously think about the possibility that he was being looked for. For a moment, he scratched his ears and cheeks, feeling uncomfortable all over.

The little boy secretly pouted and said, “Look!”

You feel relaxed when you are cheating people, but you will be unhappy when they really come to your doorstep. Don't let me get involved then.

"It's okay. What I just told her is actually true information. Is it worth it to make a fuss about such a small matter? Are you kidding me!"

As for the death of the God of Joy, he actually knew who was responsible for it a long time ago.

After all, Zhang Yunxi had paid a huge sum of money to ask him to calculate the location of the God of Joy. Compared to Fairy Qinglian, the ruthless person who bought things on credit, it was obvious that the former customer who had spent money was more worthy of protection!

You know what, the old Taoist is still quite particular. He didn't even leave the customer after he left.

As for who abducted Youmei Ji in the Jiuli land?
He knows everything about this!
To be honest, in Kaiyuan Realm Wanxiang City, nearly half of the intelligence peddlers on that entire street are run by his family!
When fortune tellers start playing with intelligence, it is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on other forces.

"You have to remember that in our line of work, if you can avoid using life span, then don't use it. When your intelligence network spreads all over the world, you can know everything in the world without using life span to tell fortunes. You can be omniscient and almighty! You can call us liars or you can call us liars, or you can call us using intelligence to promote fortune-telling. In essence, it is just a business. The methods are different, but the results are the same. It's just a different path to the same destination."

The little boy secretly despised him. He had long been fed up with this old charlatan.

When I joined this lineage, I thought I could become a theologian and change my fate through fortune-telling and divination, and calculate everything in the world.

The result was good. After in-depth contact, we found out that Bu Suanzi was actually an intelligence chief!
The middleman relies on intelligence to fake fortune-telling and make a profit from the information gap. The longevity elixirs in his storage bag are probably enough to fill up an entire room.

A thousand-year-old turtle may live for ten thousand years, but in fact, he has lived for so long that he has almost become a living fossil!

I don’t know how many important people he has cheated.

Of course, no one can be sure whether he is truly capable or not. After all, he is the forefather of divination in this world, with a well-known golden signboard.
Just as I was daydreaming, the shell next to me started beeping again.

Bu Suanzi whispered impatiently:

"Who is it? Are you annoying me? You're always bothering me. Oh, it's the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Sacred Land. What do you want to talk to me about? Oh, you want to ask where the alchemy genius Fairy Yunxi has gone, right? What, she's been missing for more than ten years? Oh, that's incredible. It's been quite a while. Let me calculate it for you."

During the period of seclusion, various major events in the outside world were happening dramatically, and undercurrents were surging in the State of Lu.

Fortunately, the Xun Gu Sect chose to cooperate with the Guigu Holy Land early on, and other holy land-level forces that attempted to get involved retreated like the tide.

The Feathered People's army lost the support of the hundreds of tribes in the Star Palace and disappeared without anyone noticing. Decades of fierce fighting on the border seemed like a dream, at least for the cultivators in western and northwestern Shandong.

They didn't understand the deeper reasons, but now that they had finally repelled the enemy, they could finally relax and breathe a sigh of relief, just like they were training their troops.

During this period, the Lujiang League was declared to be in name only.

The original headquarters was also assigned to the Yang family, a family of immortal cultivation, as a special care for the descendants of the Yang family's ancestors.

The local bosses were all secretly taught a lesson and punished by the Xun Gu Sect. They were completely convinced and dared not to cause trouble again. The Yunchuan Academy, like the Lujiang Academy, became a talent pool for the Xun Gu Sect.

Until time exploded at a certain moment, a major earthquake occurred in the entire Lu State, shaking the surrounding area and affecting a wide range of people!

Even Lin Shan, who was in seclusion, was awakened.

After coming out, he flew directly into the sky, opened his Star-piercing Eyes and looked towards the direction of the Central Region. There was a cloud of smoke rising into the sky, and from a distance there were even circular colorful ripples hanging high in the sky.

The whole thing was extremely huge and lasted for half a day!
"Master, there is a letter from Guigu Holy Land!"

Lu Xiuming brought someone to hand over a jade slip, and Lin Shan took it and took a look at it.

The above was written by Liang Maizhu of Guigu Holy Land himself. It roughly means that the third round of spiritual tide has officially begun and the location is in the Lei Bo Sea in the central region.

The suffix of Leibohai's name is "hai", but it is actually a huge inland lake with a radius of thousands of miles.

After a rough exploration and analysis, the Holy Land speculated that there was more than one opportunity under the lake, at least related to water, earth, thunder, galaxy and thunder tribulation, and the level was Class A, which was beneficial to the Yuanshen period!
Liang Maizhu asked him to set off as soon as possible and first come to Lu's base camp in Lunan, the Holy Land of Guigu, to participate in a pre-war planning and get acquainted with the various forces in the Holy Land. Then they would explain to him how to deploy later.

Luxi did not let the Xun Gu Sect do whatever it wanted. In the past decade or so, the Guigu Holy Land had also sent thousands of people to provide auxiliary assistance.

The leader was also a middle-aged woman in the late Nascent Soul stage. She was the junior sister of Liang Maizhu and a high-ranking figure in the Holy Land. Her Taoist name was Hui Miao.

"Master Lin, there is no time to lose. You can finish your work here first, and I will personally accompany you to the Lunan headquarters."

Lin Shan turned his head to take a look. Elder Hui Miao of Guigu Holy Land had a very heroic face, with his hair tied up, neat and tidy. The key point was that he had a very strong chest, which might be due to his special physical training.

"Okay, please wait for me, Your Excellency."

Next, he roughly dealt with the major affairs within the sect. After he had a general idea of ​​what was going on, he set off with Elder Hui Miao.

About half a day later.

After taking a detour through the southwest of Shandong, I finally arrived at the Lunan headquarters. I found that military control had been implemented here. There were notices posted at the gates of all the major sects and families. The Guigu Holy Land divided them into towns, battalions, and teams, and restrictions were imposed on going out. The management was so strict that I had never seen anything like it in my life!
This is a huge military camp, made of brick and stone houses. Monks from the outside world are still gathering here in large numbers. Feeling the call from the Guigu Holy Land, the locals have no choice but to come.

But from the outside, it can be seen that many people are dissatisfied, but they can only hold on and dare not show it in front of the Guigu Holy Land.

"Under such high pressure, aren't you afraid of provoking resistance from the monks below?"

Lin Shan couldn't help but ask the elder Hui Miao who was traveling with him, and the other party was not surprised.

"Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter what they think. After all, they are just cannon fodder. They don't need to have their own thoughts. When they get to the battlefield, they just need to obey orders and contribute their own strength. We in Guigu Holy Land follow the military formation style. With countless great powers added to one body, who dares not obey military law?"

When military regulations are too strict, combat effectiveness will actually increase dramatically due to obedience!
In addition, the characteristic of the military formation school is to control soldiers. They must be professionals in how to lead soldiers, how to train them, and how to manage them, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Entering deep into the camp, there is a huge underground palace standing. Six rows of armored soldiers are lined up at the door, holding weapons and wearing masks on their faces. A solemn atmosphere spreads, and it can be seen that they are all elite soldiers who have fought in many battles.

Someone at the entrance of the underground hall met Elder Hui Miao and led the two inside.

There were hundreds of seats of all sizes, and twelve seats on the stage, each intersecting in a semicircle with a deep pit fence in the middle. The leader of the Liang vein was pointing at the huge sand table below and the images in the air to explain to everyone.

When he saw Lin Shan and Elder Hui Miao coming, he immediately stopped talking and called them over.

There happened to be two empty seats on the stage, the second and third from the right.

"Haha, come and sit down. Master Lin is finally here. Have you gained anything from your more than ten years of seclusion? Hmm, it seems that your aura has become more restrained and unfathomable. Even this old man can't tell!"

"Master Liang, you are too kind. I was late because of the journey, so I will drink a few cups as an apology."

“Hahaha, not too late, not too late, just right.”

After the two of them sat down, Master Liang ignored everyone else in front of everyone, and left the ancestors of various sects and families aside, and introduced the people on the stage to Lin Shan one by one.

On the left is the Guigu Holy Land, and on the right are the non-staff guests.

First are the second and third on the left hand.

"These are the masters of the Qisheng meridian and the Guzhen meridian. They are both ranked in the top ten Dao meridians in our holy land. The Qisheng meridian is good at the art of military spirit. Once the military spirit of the army is out, it is invincible and rushes forward; the Guzhen meridian is good at beating drums. The dense drum beats are exciting and violent. When they really fight, you will know how terrifying they are."

The leader of the Qisheng pulse and the leader of the Guzhen pulse stood up to greet them respectively without any contempt. Lin Shan also returned the greetings one by one. Feeling the other party's strength at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he sighed in his heart at the heritage of the Guigu Holy Land. It was a good impression they had on him on their first meeting.

Next on the left hand, the fourth and fifth are again the masters of two Taoist veins, but their power and strength are not as good as the former, but they are also in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The last and sixth person was an old acquaintance. At this moment, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He looked at Lin Shan with some suspicion. He always felt as if he had seen him somewhere, but it didn't seem like he was the same person.

"This is the new prodigy of my Guigu Holy Land, who was personally accepted by the Holy Lord. The suppression of the rebellion in Luxi and Luxinan was entirely dependent on him, Qianbu!"

"Yeah, not bad, there's something."

Lin Shan nodded and commented, as if an elder was criticizing a younger person, which made Qianbu feel extremely unhappy. After all, you look like a young man, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?
But now Master Liang and Lin Shan are of the same generation, so in order to avoid making a fool of himself, he can only treat him as his junior.

He was slightly surprised and looked Qianbu up and down, or to be more precise, he looked at his former "good old son".

Qianbu recognized him as his adoptive father in Kunjiao for a period of time, but he is his eldest son!

It is said that once a father, always a father.

After being away from me for these years, it seems that he has been doing well outside and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. I guess he has received a lot of cultivation in the holy land.

Qianbu was indignant and thought that Lin Shan was pretending. He was just a native of Lu State. Although his cultivation was higher than his, if he had a large army at hand, he could really compete with a person at the peak of Nascent Soul stage with his military formation skills, so he was not afraid of anyone.

Master Liang smiled slightly and ignored this little episode.

After introducing the left hand, he began to introduce the right hand to Lin Shan. The second person on the right hand was Lin Shan, the third was the accompanying Elder Hui Miao, and the fourth was the bearded Master Xiong Shan!
If it was understandable that Qianbu couldn't recognize him, then the man from Xiongshan would definitely recognize him.

Isn't this the guy who worked with him as a Black Lotus Messenger in the East China Sea of ​​the Great Song Dynasty? Later, Luxi Wangyue City tricked him again. What a hapless star.

The two simply nodded. Xiong Shan felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't look unconvinced. This guy has experienced too many beatings from society and has recognized the reality. When he meets someone stronger than himself, he just keeps a low profile.

He looked very honest the whole time and didn't talk to anyone, like a mascot.

The fifth and sixth on the right are two cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. They are both leaders of top forces in the countries surrounding the State of Lu. They have either actively or passively boarded the ship of the Guigu Holy Land and led their armies to participate in the battle of the spiritual tide.

After a round of familiarization, Master Liang asked everyone to take their seats. He walked to the fence alone, pointed to the map and sand table under the seats and began to explain.

"I'm sure everyone felt yesterday's earthquake, which radiated to the cultivation worlds of several countries surrounding Lu. This spiritual tide was unprecedented in scale. It was the third and final round of the first year of the meeting. The force was quite large. After deduction by the Holy Land, it was determined to be a Class A spiritual tide."

Lin Shan was listening from above, and whispered to Elder Hui Miao beside him to ask how the first-grade spiritual tides were distinguished.

Elder Hui Miao explained it to him.

The meaning of Grade A spiritual tide is that it contains treasures that are beneficial to those in the Yuanshen period. It is a spiritual tide of the highest standard, with a rich variety of opportunities and great risks, but the rewards are enough!

A Grade B spiritual tide is one that has treasures that are useful for breaking through the Yuanshen stage, or is comparable to those with great supernatural powers, and is rarely seen in a thousand years.

Grade C spiritual tide is relatively shabby, and may be of some use to those with great supernatural powers at most. However, it is still attractive to the holy land, so it should be consumed if possible.

The rest are all inferior, at least during the Ten Thousand Years, they are not worth the Holy Land’s investment at all, and will be selectively abandoned.

The second round of spiritual tide that occurred in the Fallen Demon Valley within the territory of Jin State was a Class B spiritual tide, possessing the aura of world consciousness and fragments of dark stars, which could help people break through the Yuanshen stage and gain great supernatural powers. There were not many of this level on the mainland.

As for today's, the Grade A spiritual tide is of the highest standard!

Therefore, it can be predicted that in the final round, the State of Lu will definitely present the most brutal showdown among the major holy places!
