Chapter 164: Surprise on exit
The door to the secret room opened, and Lin Shan came out of the secret room for the first time in ten years. Since he was not used to the dazzling sunlight outside, he couldn't help but use his hands to cover it slightly.
As his age increased again, he was now 33 years old. According to the saying in this world that one becomes an adult at the age of 16, he once again changed from a boy to a young man.
From this aspect alone, even if he is so diligent in practicing medicine and has enhanced panels to help break through bottlenecks, he still has not caught up with the talent of Qi Zhong, the original disciple of Qianyun Pavilion. He was still a teenager in the middle stage of foundation building. .
Not surprisingly, the black-bone skeletons in the courtyard of the cave have returned to the middle stage of foundation construction. They are obviously under the influence of the Nascent Soul stage of the main body. In addition to the slight difficulty in condensing the golden elixir and Nascent Soul, a small bottleneck such as foundation building was as easy for him as drinking water and eating.
At this time, a small sapling appeared everywhere in the courtyard, Zheng Huan was running around and playing, and the spiritual field next to it had also been planted by the Black Skull Demon Lord in the past ten years. He had nothing to do and planted some unknown flowers and plants.
"You are hiding so well that you are actually a master of alchemy. Tsk~"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord smacked his lips, seeming to still be recalling the purple mist that had just leaked out of the secret room.
But after feeling Lin Shan's cultivation, he felt a little unable to sit still. Is this guy practicing so fast? It can actually catch up with the recovery progress of this old monster in the Nascent Soul stage.
Lin Shan chuckled, sat down at the stone table in the yard, and asked directly how things were going. The latter directly threw a long box over.
Lin Shan received it and opened the box. He saw that there were more than ten vials inside, as well as a few green branches.
"Most of the phantom liquid and phantom wood I have saved in the past ten years are here. I only took a small part myself."
Hearing what the Black Skeleton Demon Lord said, Lin Shan just nodded and said nothing more. Even if he eats meat, he has to leave a mouthful of soup for others to drink. Moreover, it is a skeleton, and there is no way to use the phantom liquid on it.
After taking a look at the heartless phantom ancient tree sapling playing in the spiritual field next to me, and confirming that it had not been bled too much and caused malnutrition, I was secretly satisfied that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord had done it in a measured way and knew the essence of wool harvesting. .
He picked up a jade bottle and sprinkled the "phantom liquid" on his eyes, and immediately felt soaked in a warm spring. The scenery in front of me was changing, and the light was flowing, and finally my vision gradually recovered.
He opened his eyes again and looked around, and found that there were hidden formations around the cave, and he could vaguely see some traces in his eyes.
"The key to perseverance is to apply the phantom liquid every day. Over time, you can gradually deepen your resistance to illusions and see through most illusions. You can also detect many hidden formation restrictions in advance and avoid them."
< br>
Lin Shan nodded. It was a pity that he had not systematically studied formations. Otherwise, with this pair of magical eyes and his knowledge of formations, the superposition would not be as simple as one plus one equals two.
But he doesn’t know how to use formations, but Xiaoxin, the tool spirit of Xuxingpan, does!
Just when he thought of Qi Ling Xiaoxin, he suddenly found that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord sitting opposite was motionless, staring straight at him and starting to be in a daze.
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but touch his face. Is there flowers on my face?
But with the Black Skull Demon Lord's peeing ability, even if he has flowers on his face, he won't take it so seriously, right?
At this time, a little girl with pigtails ran out secretly at some point and was timidly hiding behind Linshan, peeking around with her little head.
Especially when I saw the saplings of the ancient phantom trees playing in the medicine field, I couldn't help but have a look of curiosity in my eyes.
But in the eyes of the Black Skull Demon Lord opposite, this is not a little girl, she is clearly...
"Damn it! Innate weapon spirit!"
"Scared!"
Not only did the little girl shrink her head in fright, but Lin Shan was also startled by the voice. The long-lost feeling of the Nightingale Organization's whirring came back.
Looking at the green eyes of the Black Skull Demon Lord across from him, his tone was unabashedly greedy, staring straight at him like a hungry ghost in lust.
"What do you want to do? I warn you not to mess around!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord seemed to have not heard anything. Like a vicious dog pouncing on his food, he rushed forward and grabbed him by the collar. His black skull mouth opened and closed with a "click, click, click" sound.
"Good boy, you have hidden it from me for so long, but you actually have an innate spiritual treasure!"
"."
Lin Shan didn't know how to explain to it that it was absolutely impossible to tell outsiders about the enhanced panel. Even if the two of them had a soul contract and couldn't harm each other, it would be impossible to reveal anything about it.
But sooner or later it will realize that it has a spiritual treasure, and then it will simply tell nonsense.
"I only discovered it recently. I didn't expect that the virtual star disk is actually a spiritual treasure."
"Quick! Quick! Take it out and show me!"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord looked anxious, jumping up and down, scratching his ears and cheeks, wanting to grab it directly. This thing is deadly poison to the master of weapon refining.
Lin Shan was speechless. He was a Nascent Soul stage demon king. Regardless of whether he had a spiritual treasure or not, he had always seen him before! Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? What's more, the spirit treasure he just strengthened hasn't warmed up yet.
Reluctantly, he took out the virtual star disk and handed it to him slowly, muttering "be gentle", "don't drop it" and "I can't even afford to sell you".
The latter had no time to refute him, and took it with a pair of trembling bony hands. Every move showed the meaning of "piety", and he even caressed it intoxicatedly. Because the bone claws have no flesh and blood, they make a scratching sound when touched.
"Koala, Kaola~"
Lin Shan watched with distress as this guy was using his bones to hold his spirit treasure, while Xiaoxin, the weapon spirit behind him, also showed a distressed expression.
Finally, after a while, seeing that it had no idea that enough was enough, the two of them couldn't bear it anymore and took back the main body of the virtual star disk.
"Okay, okay, just take a look at it, don't be careless!"
The black-bone skeleton didn't dare to refute like a child who had done something wrong. He still looked at the virtual star disk in Lin Shan's hand eagerly. The extremely longing in the soul fire of his skull could even be felt by Xiaoxin, the weapon spirit, and he died immediately. He hugged Lin Shan's neck tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Don't you have a spiritual treasure in your body? Why do you look like you have never seen the world!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord's attitude was extremely humble at this time. Facing Lin Shan's disdainful look, he faintly smiled in apology, wiped the noisy lips at the corner of his mouth, and answered honestly.
"My body is sitting on the Skeleton Demon Ridge millions of miles away from hell. Naturally I have one spiritual treasure, but"
"Just what?"
"My spiritual treasure is an acquired spiritual treasure, far inferior to your innate spiritual treasure."
"Is there any difference between nature and nurture?"
Lin Shan's curiosity aroused now. He thought the magic weapon was the spiritual treasure, but he didn't expect there to be a distinction? However, it seems that the strengthening panel has been written about before, but he didn't delve into it deliberately.
In order to see more of the virtual star disk, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord had no choice but to explain to Lin Shan in detail the creation and classification of spiritual treasures.
Generally, if a monk wants to upgrade his magic weapon to a spiritual treasure, in addition to asking for the help of a weapon refining master, he also has to find a soul in the Nascent Soul stage as a spiritual enlightenment. Most of them use the soul of a monster to enlighten the spirit.
But as we all know, regardless of whether it is a human monk or a monster, if the soul is not artificially imprisoned after death, it will stay in the world for up to seven days before being extradited by the ghosts of the underworld.
Therefore, the soul used to enlighten the magic weapon must be a fresh soul not many days after death. As for the monks and monsters who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, who doesn’t want to be reincarnated after death? No one will give of themselves, so the only way is to kill.
However, those who have the strength to kill creatures at the Nascent Soul stage and forcibly imprison their souls must be at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
At the same time, the choice of soul is also very particular. It is not just any Nascent Soul stage soul, it must also be consistent with one's own magic weapon.
Take the Black Skeleton Demon Lord in the fifth world of hell as an example. He is the master of weapon refining and has many soldiers under his command. It took a full fifty years to upgrade his natal magic weapon. Only then in a certain magma sea area thousands of meters deep did he find and kill a Nascent Soul stage bone dragon, and refined it into a magic weapon to enlighten his soul with his own hands.
At the beginning of the spiritual awakening of the magic weapon, the weapon spirit is as fragile as a baby when it is born. The small-sized spirit body is likely to be blown away by a gust of wind, so it needs careful care and cultivation by the owner.
The strength of the spirit body can be cultivated, but it will take a long time for the weapon spirit and intelligence to awaken. Generally, spiritual treasures are passed down from generation to generation by powerful sects over the years, spanning tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, only Lingbao can be called the "treasure of the sect".
The reason why the Black Skeleton Demon Lord is called the master of weapon refining is because he successfully refined a spiritual treasure for himself.
It's just that after only a few hundred years of cultivation, its spirit treasure weapon spirit is not very intelligent. It is like an ignorant beast. It can only passively use its instincts to slightly improve the spirit treasure's agility.
But even so, the value of the spiritual treasure is far greater than that of the magic weapon, because its upper limit is extremely high and its growth potential is unlimited.
"So the power of your acquired spiritual treasure is not much different from that of magic weapon, because the weapon spirit is still in the initial stage of growth."
Lin Shan touched his chin thoughtfully.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord nodded and told him about the innate spiritual treasure.
The difference between innate spiritual treasures and acquired spiritual treasures is that the weapon spirit is naturally nourished by the earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, and takes over the creation of heaven and earth. It is born in the depths of the magic weapon. It is innately in perfect harmony with the magic weapon and can develop all the functions of the magic weapon.
If we say that with the same intelligence, the acquired spiritual treasure weapon spirit can only tap 40% of the potential of the original body, while the innate spiritual treasure weapon spirit can only tap 100%! There is a huge gap between the two.
But innate spiritual treasures are too rare. After all, most of these magic treasures are in the hands of monks. Only some ancient ruins may slowly give birth to weapon spirits from individual ancient treasures over countless years, and the probability is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
What makes the Black Skull Demon Lord jealous is that Lin Shan's innate spiritual treasure is obviously very mature in intelligence. He has been able to control the body of the spirit treasure by himself, and can also "self-obstruct" the spirit treasure to hide itself.
I could even hide it before, it was just a ripe and tempting melon!
Generally, a spirit treasure that has reached this level of intelligence can not only independently develop its own functions, but can also assist its owner in certain places. It can be said to be an excellent partner in the world of cultivation!
"It's a pity that it's an auxiliary spirit treasure. If you want to kill the innate spirit treasure and have such intelligence at the same time, I'm afraid."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord did not continue speaking, the meaning was self-evident.
However, it is not naive to think that Lin Shan is lucky enough to get another killing spirit treasure. That is pure nonsense.
Now that he can get this spiritual treasure virtual astrolabe, this guy may have lost countless years
Lin Shan didn't feel any regret after hearing this. At this stage, auxiliary Lingbao was most useful to him. The killing spirit treasure itself has no magic power and cannot be used. It is impossible for the weapon spirit alone to control the body to fight against the enemy, which is impossible for monks above the golden elixir stage.
It's not too late to consider killing the spirit treasure until your cultivation level is high.
……
The little girl sat on the shoulders of her master Lin Shan, with her two white little feet swinging in front of his chest. She listened to the conversation between a person and a skeleton. When the weapon spirits were discussed, her little head nodded along or thought deeply. Obviously Extraordinarily intelligent.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was obviously evil and always wanted to play with the virtual star disk again. While explaining to Lin Shan, he couldn't help but touch it secretly. However, Xiaoxin, the weapon spirit, controlled his body to avoid it, but the guy was more interested in her. Interested.
An innate spiritual treasure is extremely attractive to a master of weapon refining.
"Brother, open the skylight and speak frankly. I want this spiritual treasure so much."
"Make a price! I'll give you whatever you want. I'm quite famous in the fifth world of hell. Do you need an army of millions of skeletons? Can you take a look at the countless treasures of heaven and earth? Do you want to know about magical powers and spells?"
"Otherwise, I will trade my spiritual treasure with you, and my clone will work for you for the rest of my life. Even if I return to the Nascent Soul stage, I will only follow your lead!"
……
At this time, the Black Skeleton Demon King no longer had any dignity as a generation of hell demon kings, and his skeleton collapsed on the ground like a beggar.
But no matter how hard the Black Skeleton Demon Lord begged, Lin Shan refused to agree. He spent 64 points of ancient rhyme to strengthen something, and he took it out to replace it after his head was squeezed by the door.
What's more, the clone of the Black Skull Demon Lord can't escape in the first place. He is a working soul and will be a miserable person in this life
The two argued for a while, and Xiaoxin, the weapon spirit, seemed to be tired and went back to sleep in the virtual star chart of the main body. Lin Shan also quickly put away the Lingbao, and then the farce slowly ended.
The Black Skull Demon Lord suppressed his thoughts, thinking that this stupid boy Lin Shan had never seen much of the world and had no idea how much energy he had in his body. In the future, if he turned a deaf ear to it, he would be able to convince him subtly. .
……
Next, the two briefly discussed the ancient phantom tree, re-formulated a new plan for the heaven and earth spirit tree, strengthened the physical examination cycle of regular blood draws and pruning branches, and then talked about the outside world.
The Black Skull Demon Lord had a strange look on his face, and did not explain to him what the war situation was like outside. He just took out the letters and transmission notes accumulated in the cave over the past ten years and gave them to him.
Lin Shan didn't know it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
But he has been in seclusion for ten years, so why do so many people leave messages for him? And all occurred within the past six months.
Protector Yan returned to Donghai Headquarters half a year ago and sent him a transmission note asking him to come over;
Luan Chun also came back four months ago and left him a transmission note;
Two months ago, Old Man Zhong and a group of younger brothers also came back. They came to his cave one by one to look for him. It seemed that there was something urgent. However, they were in retreat in Linshan, so they had no choice but to leave more than 20 transmission notes for him;
< br>
A few days ago, in the distant inland of the Song Dynasty, at Yichuanfang City in the Yanyun Mountains, an encrypted letter from the cultivation world was delivered to his cave. It turned out to be from a good brother of the same clan, Lin Fan.
……
Lin Shan opened the transmission notes and listened to them one by one, only to realize that everyone was talking about the same thing.
"The frontline offensive of the three demon factions was defeated, and the righteous coalition organized a counterattack to regain the city."
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was well-informed. He somehow found out that Lin Shan had joined the Demonic Black Lotus Sect, and secretly conveyed the latest news to him in the past few days.
The righteous camp has recently re-evaluated the strength of both the enemy and ourselves and regained confidence in the future war situation. There is no future in the demonic camp, so my good brother Lin Shan runs away quickly.
After reading it, Lin Shan stood there looking confused.
"I remember that the situation was great ten years ago, wasn't it? The demonic path occupied half of the country, the defense line of the Luosong Mountains collapsed, and the imperial capital Bianliang was also breached, and it was about to march into the northwest, what?"
"It's been a great success, but after a while, someone else made a huge comeback?"
