Chapter 72: Hard to eat soft food
Lin Shan was stunned for a long time, just sitting in a daze.
After all, what just happened was too unbelievable. The soul of the old man in green robe disappeared, the road to the endless void was opened, the purple fairy book, and even the information storm that penetrated into the soul.
If it weren't for the magical seed hanging quietly in his soul, reminding him that everything really happened just now, he would have suspected it was a dream!
Now that he had mastered the seed of magical power, Lin Shan naturally fully understood the reason for this magical power. Through the "straw man" in front of him, which is the inheritance item of Wu Dao Sect, he can communicate with the immortal weapon "Nail Head Seven Arrows Book" and make sacrifices to the immortal weapon.
The straw man itself is an ordinary straw man. There is nothing magical about it. It is just chosen by the fairy weapon as a transit link, so it cannot be destroyed.
He simply couldn't understand the power of rules involved and had no way of exploring it.
As the initiator of the sacrifice, Lin Shan would be severely damaged by the power given by the immortal weapon "Seven Arrows Book of Nail Head" if the target he chose was not a higher level in cultivation than his own.
If the target's cultivation level is higher than that of Lin Shan, and if he curses the foundation building period during his Qi training period, he will be counterattacked by the magical power, and the sacrifice party will be himself, and he will lose his life span to compensate for the immortal weapon "Nailhead Seven Arrows Book".
In other words, as long as you don't curse people with higher cultivation levels than him, within the same realm, no matter the early, middle or late stages, you don't need to consume your lifespan.
However, this magical power has two small limitations. First, it must have the target's breath item or blood and hair to lock it. Second, it has a time cooldown and can only be used three times a day.
"Three times is three times! Whoever is unhappy will be cursed to death by me!"
Lin Shan patted his butt and jumped up, full of excitement, and then began to think about who should be operated on first.
However, after thinking for a long time, Lin Shan suddenly realized that he seemed to have eliminated the roots along the way and left no enemies behind.
There was an enemy, but by chance, Princess Guo reconciled with him today and promised to give him antiques. Although he still had some grudges and didn't completely believe it, he didn't find the princess's personal belongings or hair or blood.
Lin Shan thought for a while, then glumly put away the pile of spell-casting props on the ground.
"I still have to find ways to improve my real-time combat power. If I encounter a battle in the future, who will give me time to curse? Besides, if I want to curse behind my back, I need a high level of cultivation to support it."
After figuring this out, Lin Shan was unambiguous and meditated while waiting for dawn.
……
On the third day after arriving in Yichuan, Lin Shan opened his eyes, stood up and said goodbye to the inn.
He wanted to reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi training as soon as possible, and there were exactly 30 spiritual stones left in his storage bag.
Arriving at the Internal Affairs Hall in the center of the city, an antique hall, many monks were coming and going. It was obvious that Yichuanfang City was also busy with internal affairs.
I went up to the second floor and found the manager of the city who rented the cave. He was an old man with a white beard who was in the late stage of Qi training.
"I'm the leasing deacon of Dongfu in Yichuanfang City, my surname is Yan."
Lin Shan quickly greeted him and said, "Deacon Yan, this is my order. I plan to rent it for three months."
Deacon Yan nodded, collected the token and motioned for him to follow.
Then he was taken to another hall. There was a huge sand table in the center of the hall, which was the entire landform of Yichuan, including all the boundaries inside and outside the city, including the surrounding fog formation.
Some of the mountains are flashing with white light spots, while others are stable yellow light spots, and the same is true in the city.
"These white light dots represent the caves that can be selected, and the yellow light dots represent the caves that are already inhabited by people. You can choose as much as you like. However, the prices of spiritual stones are different, so there is no need for me to say more." Deacon Yan said. Lin Shan gave a brief introduction. Lin Shan nodded in agreement, and then his eyes wandered between the various light spots.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly approached, and a voice that he had heard yesterday sounded behind him:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are also choosing a cave. What a coincidence!"
Lin Shan turned around when he heard the words, and Princess Guo came up in elegant palace clothes. She smiled sweetly and stood side by side with him.
"Well, it's quite a coincidence." Lin Shan nodded in response, turned around and continued to look at the cave.
And Princess Guo has been secretly paying attention to Lin Shan's every move in the past two days, how could there be any coincidence? The moment I saw him walking into the Internal Affairs Hall, I naturally knew that Lin Shan was going to rent a cave to practice in seclusion.
So she quickly chased after him, wanting to know where Lin Shan was practicing and how long he had been practicing so that she could make arrangements and preparations.
The most fearful thing is that Lin Shan has enough money to live in Yichuan's house for several years! How long do they have to wait?
In order to secretly monitor Lin Shan, Princess Guo smiled and asked:
"Do you, Fellow Daoist Lin, have a cave you like? How about becoming a neighbor with my little sister. You and I can often exchange cultivation experiences."
Princess Guo doesn't even call herself "my palace" and calls herself "little sister" instead, which shows the depth of her inner pursuits.
But now Lin Shan, who was immersed in "I want to become stronger", didn't care about these details at all. He just dealt with it casually without even looking to the side: "Well, okay, Your Highness is free to do it."
Princess Guo secretly scolded this boy for not understanding the charm and deserved to be single, but at this time she still forced a smile:
"Wherever Daoist Fellow Lin plans to live, I should pay the rent together for Fellow Daoist Lin. After all, we have turned our hostility into friendship."
Lin Shan was a little moved after hearing this. He was indeed short of money. Since Princess Guo is willing to pay the bill for him, that's so embarrassing.
"Then it's better to be respectful than obey orders."
Deacon Yan next to him quietly pricked up his ears, his mind filled with gossip. Could it be a drama about a rich woman chasing a poor boy? Pay him rent? This guy is so lucky, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it too much. Is he forced to take soft food?
This generation of young people is amazing!
Princess Guo next to her was thinking to herself that she couldn't bear to let go of her child. She spent ten spirit stones yesterday, so she still cares about the cave money today?
According to my own estimation, this kid will be able to reach the peak of the sixth level of Qi training in less than half a year, and then he will have to go out and look for opportunities.
Normally, a monk rents a cave in the suburbs for two spiritual stones a month. In a few months, it will not exceed ten. At that time, he will not be allowed to pay out the capital and profits!
At that moment, he stayed quietly beside Lin Shan, waiting for him to pick him up.
After a while.
"Deacon Yan, that's it. I'll rent it for three months."
Lin Shan pointed to a relatively high-end and quiet courtyard in the residential area in the east of the city. He was quite satisfied with the environment here. Not many monks passed by, so it was relatively quiet and suitable for his ascetic cultivation.
Deacon Yan nodded and inserted the Linshan token on the sand table.
The white light spot turned yellow, indicating that the cave here was rented. Then he looked at Princess Linshan and Princess Guo: "The rent is 30 spiritual stones, who will pay for it?"
Lin Shan looked at Princess Guo expectantly.
