Chapter 215 Dual Cultivation Ambition
The volcano erupted, the earth's crust shook, and waves rose slowly in the billowing smoke.
When magma erupts, it will bring up a large amount of water vapor. In the mist, sparks are splashing everywhere, and rivers of magma fall from the sky, dyeing the entire mountain a fiery red color. The liquid soup flowing down the river melts everything passing by into a liquid state. , the domineering trend became more and more intense.
In the crater, a black and gold skeleton stepped out.
At this moment, the whole body was exuding huge coercion, and turbulent ripples spread from a singular point. They were ripples caused by the bottomless soul power, and a black pill was burned by the soul fire in his skull.
The small holes on the surface of this pill are sprayed with gray airflow, which goes in and out and tempers with the soul fire. This is the Baiqiao Soul Pill.
The external skeleton is still dark in color, but it is dotted with golden spots. Each spot emits dazzling golden light, and the dark skeleton absorbs light as if it is a black hole. The two are extremely weird, but they coexist and complement each other.
What's even more surprising is that behind it, a large flag is fluttering in the wind, making a roaring sound. Three sides of the flag are burning, and the flames are blowing into the distance along with the surging black smoke, but this large flag cannot be burned out. , burning continuously as if supported by an oil core.
Looking at the flagpole again, it turned out to be a thick bone spur that grew out of the skeleton and raised up to the sky, holding up the flaming flag.
Lin Shan looked at this scene and couldn't help but have a huge change in his view of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. After returning to the golden elixir stage, it was so popular when it appeared. How much momentum would it have in the hell world when it was in the Nascent Soul stage?
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord stepped on the void and walked step by step in front of Lin Shan. The flaming flag behind him also had the effect of helping to fly, so there was no need to use a weapon or a rainbow, but the billowing black smoke that kept burning polluted the environment.
Of course, as a hell creature, it doesn't care about this at all.
"Lin Shan! Why don't you be polite when you see me?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord suddenly activated the soul pill in his skull, and a heavy soul pressure spread into the void. Through the dark eyes, only the mysterious soul fire inside could be seen, and the momentum around him surged like thousands of troops.
The group of monks from the sect below were all frightened out of their wits, their hearts were trembling and their livers and gallbladders were splitting!
Lin Shan was also suddenly startled, and almost fell headlong with excitement.
But he reacted instantly and slapped him directly.
"Crack!"
"Ouch~~ It hurts, it hurts, are you serious?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was unprepared and was staggered by a direct slap. His domineering spirit just disappeared. He covered his skull and screamed repeatedly. He was unable to fight back due to the golden page of the contract.
"You pretended it for me? I asked you to pretend it!"
"No, no, no, brother, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously!"
Lin Shan chased it and slashed it hard. He was almost frightened by this thing just now, but now he reacted and became very angry. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord begged for mercy again and again before reluctantly giving up.
In fact, it did have the intention of being a guest just now. It just wanted to test Lin Shan to see if it could be on an equal footing with him and reorganize their status.
After all, I have now returned to the Golden Core stage, and the Nascent Soul stage is just around the corner in the future. Now you can control me at will. When I reach the Nascent Soul stage, aren't you afraid that I will hold a grudge and give you little shoes?
But Lin Shan is not afraid at all, and does not care about what will happen in the future. Now you are a dragon and you have to be coiled up by me, and you are a tiger and you have to lie down for me.
You are still wearing small shoes, you are thinking nonsense.
When you reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will strengthen the contract at worst, and you will still be my wage earner. Apart from working, you will still be working, and you will never be able to turn around in this life!
If you serve me well, I will reward you with a bone to eat. If you continue to be like this, always wandering around and harboring evil intentions, you won't even have a hair at all by then!
Of course, the Black Skull Demon Lord didn't know Lin Shan's methods. He just thought that this kid was living in the present without thinking about the future at all. He simply left no way out.
Of course, now that he is lying under the eaves, he has to bow his head. He has no choice but to accept his fate and continue to endure it. In his heart, he hopes that he will come back and take revenge after the Nascent Soul stage. By then, all his babies will be his. When he thinks of this, he can't help but open his mouth. " "Kaka" laughed strangely.
The two were fighting among themselves, which confused the other sect monks.
A human in the Foundation Establishment stage dares to punch and kick a ghost in the Golden Core stage?
However, being suspicious of ghosts and ghosts did not affect their escape. The main reason was that the appearance of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was so popular. They thought it was their sect's competition and alerted the local ghost cultivator, so they immediately Dispersed.
One by one, they led their juniors to run as fast as they could, for fear of being overtaken and slaughtered.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was too lazy to pay attention to them. Instead, he looked at a flying magic weapon that had just risen in front of him. Under the command of a young man in black robes, a group of Mu family members swayed up to the sky with great effort. Narrowly escaping the lava flow.
At this moment, the large lake around Liluan Mountain was filled with water vapor, and high-temperature magma flowed into the lake, evaporating into a thick fog.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord couldn't leave after just one glance. The peculiarity of the young man caught his attention.
"Huh? This guy seems a little extraordinary."
Lin Shan followed its gaze and found out that it was the young man named Mu Yan. Thinking of what he had just seen and heard, he nodded slightly.
"It's really extraordinary. Can you see anything?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord walked over step by step and came to Mu Yan. He circled around twice and looked at him carefully, like a crowd watching a monkey performer on the street.
Mu Yan and other Mu family disciples felt chilled all over and felt uneasy, not knowing whether the skeleton senior in front of them was a human or a ghost.
Some evil monks practice evil skills and often turn themselves into human beings or ghosts. They have also heard about it, so it is often difficult to tell the difference.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord sensed it carefully for a moment, then nodded and shook his head, seemingly very confused.
Lin Shan came up and looked around twice, but found nothing strange: "What, is there something wrong?"
"I can feel that there seems to be a kind of blood in this child's body, with a trace of ancient breath, but it seems to be still dormant and unable to make a clear judgment."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord murmured a little, and took some blood from the wound on Mu Yan's body. After a quick study, he could only make some guesses. However, this also frightened these juniors, and they were all trembling, fearing that they would be captured and treated as juniors. Rat study.
At the same time, they are also wondering in their hearts, how can we, an ordinary cultivation family, have any powerful bloodline that can arouse the interest of seniors in the Golden Core stage.
The Black Skull Demon Lord temporarily put aside his research. Now is not the time to do this. He should go back and wait for the future. Instead, he said something shocking and said directly to Mu Yan:
"Are you willing to be my disciple and work under me?"
Everyone in the Mu family was shocked, and Mu Yan himself was even more confused, and then he couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
The State of Lu was a Confucian world. Although the sages often said that all kinds of creatures should be influenced by benevolence and righteousness, they were actually quite disgusted with them. If you worship a skeleton monster as your teacher, it will not sound good if you say it out loud, and it will easily arouse the hatred of some monks who hate ghosts.
But having said that, the Mu family is now in turmoil and has been regarded as fish and meat by the surrounding forces. Seeing that there is no time for themselves to grow, the crisis of genocide is imminent, and they just need a shelter
It didn’t take long for Mu Yan to figure out the stakes and make a decisive decision to bow down:
"Disciple pays homage to Master. From now on, he is willing to lead the entire Mu family to seek refuge. I dare to ask Master to take him in!"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was full of praise and admired his courageous character. He lifted him up with both hands and laughed loudly:
"Yes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to serve. You are the one hundred and twenty-seventh adopted son adopted by this devil in another world. Disciple, as long as you serve loyally from now on, you will not hide as a teacher." Personally, I will definitely train you to become a strong person!”
Mu Yan respectfully said yes, and the group of Mu family members behind him were led by him and followed suit.
In this way, as soon as the Black Skeleton Demon Lord broke through the golden elixir stage, he gathered a group of people.
According to Mu Yan, the entire Mu family, a family of cultivators, has a total of more than 100 men, women, and children, including more than 30 cultivators. It is worthy of being a proper low-class small aristocratic family. Lin Shan has long had the idea of establishing his own force, and has also discussed it with the Black Skeleton Demon Lord. However, to establish a force, you need to have a team, so it is necessary to recruit some people to fill your subordinates if you have the opportunity, not to mention that Mu Yan of the Mu family is a bit It was unusual. It was considered a talent, so Lin Shan naturally accepted it happily.
In the following time, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord took the time to warn the nearby small sects one by one, so that they would not dare to continue targeting the Mu family, but he did not take action to avenge his apprentice.
And Mu Yan is not dissatisfied with this. When he reaches a higher level in the future, he will come to Pengbi County to regain his place in person to repay today's humiliation.
From then on, Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord did not stay too much, but led Mu Yan and other more than 20 clan immortal cultivators to set off to Luzhong County to participate in the alliance.
……
Along the way, Lin Shan asked the Black Skeleton Demon Lord in detail the whole process of breaking through the Golden Core Stage, intending to learn from his experience.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord could not refuse. Due to the contract, he could only tell him in detail. However, the cultivation directions of the Skeleton Clan and the Human Clan were slightly different. The condensation of the Soul Pill was somewhat different from that of the Golden Pill. Lin Shan listened. Gotta relish it.
At this moment, he suddenly thought, since humans can condense a golden elixir, can they also condense a soul elixir?
At that time, if both of them are in the golden elixir stage, others will have a golden elixir in Huang Ting. And I not only have a golden elixir in Huang Ting, but also a soul elixir in my brain. With the help of the two elixirs, I have dual possession of mana + soul power. If we really want to fight, wouldn't it be a big advantage?
When he said this, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was also stunned, as if he had never thought about this problem.
"This human soul-condensing elixir doesn't sound impossible, but are you sure you can form two elixirs at the same time?"
"I don't necessarily have to do two at once, can't I do it one at a time?"
"It seems to work, but the problem is that theory is theory, and it may not be that easy to practice."
"How do you say this?"
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord told him about the prerequisites for various races to condense soul pills in the hell world:
1. First of all, the power of the soul must meet the standard, regardless of quantity or quality, it must be enough to condense the soul pill, which is equivalent to the foundation;
2. The second step is bone marrow refining. The purpose is to temper the three souls and seven souls, and extract the special substance that condenses the soul elixir. This mysterious substance is called the "soul source" by their tribe and is also the source of the hell world. The race responds to the cursed call of the immortal power and is rewarded after completing the task. This thing can not only assist in condensing soul pills, but also has an excellent effect on condensing soul infants in the future, and even the transformation of higher-level "souls" into "primordial spirits"!
Third, it is to condense the soul elixir of a hundred orifices. Of course, the "hundred" here is just a general term. Whether you can break through a hundred orifices depends entirely on your personal strength and luck. There are those who have a few or more than a dozen apertures. Those who exceed a hundred orifices are the geniuses. genius. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord has the experience of the Nascent Soul stage, and this clone is also comparable to seven or seventy-nine apertures, which is already very terrifying.
Finally, due to the physical differences between different races, the skeleton clan also needed a "skeletal body transformation". In order to take a shortcut in this world and make progress, he chose a ready-made golden elixir stage corpse as an assistant.
However, as a human being, Lin Shan did not need this step.
But for the previous ones, he must at least reach the level of the hell race, or at worst, barely above the passing line, before he is qualified to try to condense soul pills.
Finally, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord shook his head:
"You kid, don't be too ambitious. Just follow the golden elixir path of your human race and keep your life span to major in one direction. Dual cultivation is something that only immortal geniuses are qualified to consider, you."
At this point, it suddenly paused.
Lin Shan took the words at the right time and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Am I not considered a genius of immortality?"
The Black Skull Demon Lord was stunned. He wanted to refute, but when he thought that by following this boy, he would not only be able to advance through the ranks, but also possess innate spiritual treasures, magical seeds of the sect, and investments from powerful people in the fairy world. I couldn't help but hesitate.
He started to stutter, and his tone was even more weird:
"Well, forget it, but you have to know how unnatural it is to practice dual cultivation on two paths. Do you still remember that cheap master of yours, Sword Master Ma Yuanjue? Only such a heaven-defying person dares to practice dual cultivation. You have a foot, a background, and the potential to become a big boss in all worlds, but you."
"What's wrong with me?"
Lin Shan inexplicably straightened his back at this time, being looked down upon by a skeleton monster, which made him feel offended:
"I am a great genius of the Immortal Dao. I am not like my master. I practice both the Sword Dao Era and the Immortal Dao Era. They are just two branches of the Immortal Dao civilization, the Golden Elixir Avenue and the Soul Elixir Avenue. Why can't I do it anymore?"
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with these words. Isn’t it natural for the master to practice two major systems in two eras, and the apprentice to practice two small systems in one era?
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was speechless for a moment and could not refute.
It seems, seems, reasonable, reasonable?
"But the problem is, although your soul strength is washed by star power, it is only a little stronger than ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building. Compared with our skeleton clan, it is far behind. How can you condense soul pills if your foundation is not stable?"
"The skeleton tribe should have a way to train their souls. Can't you teach me how to do it?"
"."
The Black Skull Demon Lord paused for a moment, thinking that this kid is really enough. He knows how to exploit me all day long.
"What about bone marrow refining? Can the little bone marrow in your human body support it? When the time comes that you can't refine enough soul source, how will you condense the soul pill?"
"Have you forgotten the investment the Immortal Realm gave me? Since he can reward you hell creatures with soul sources, what's the matter with opening a small stove for me?"
"."
The Black Skull Demon Lord paused again and almost forgot that there was an investor behind this kid. From this point of view, the soul source is indeed not a problem.
Lin Shan was thinking in his heart that the "Wood Dao Sect Inheritance Straw Man" was bound to the fairy weapon "Nailhead Seven Arrows Book". He could use this straw man to try to communicate with the spirit of the fairy weapon. Anyway, he had already invested in it. I once had the seed of my magical power, so it should be easy to invest in the soul source again!
Sometimes it is necessary to be thick-skinned. It is better to take the initiative and ask questions in a low profile than to wait for opportunities to come to you.
Of course, it is another matter whether the immortal weapon spirit is willing to use it or not, but opportunities must always be fought for.
At this time, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord no longer persuaded him to give up, but rather supported his attempt. He seemed to also want to see what it would be like for a human monk to take the Soul Pill Road:
"In fact, the most important thing in condensing soul pills is the soul source. The number of soul sources also affects how many orifices you can open."
"The number of soul sources that each creature is born with that can be refined is limited, which is equivalent to the upper limit of your qualifications. Only when you break through a major realm can you refine more soul sources."
"The soul source can not only assist in breaking through the realm, but also increase the strength of the soul. If you can get a large amount of soul source, then there is no need to slowly rely on refining the qi and refining the qi to transform the soul to improve the soul. Instead, it can be used in conjunction with the training of the soul. This method uses the soul source to quickly reach the standard of condensing soul pills in a short period of time.”
……
Speaking of this, the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was extremely jealous. If Lin Shan could be rewarded by a powerful person in the fairy world, it would not be impossible to break through to the same "soul pill stage" as him in a short time.
"Oh?"
Lin Shan's heart was pounding. If he could find a new path first, break through the Soul Pill Avenue, and have the strength of the Golden Pill stage, then he could then support the Golden Pill Avenue to protect him and search for various spiritual objects that could break through the Golden Pill. It would be the best of both worlds. !
However, whether Xian Qi Qi Ling is willing to invest in himself again remains to be discussed, and there is no rush now.
Because the three-month quest for Dai Huimeng was about to begin, he didn't have time to try, so he left it until later.
The two exchanged some experience in practicing the Soul Pill Road. The Black Skeleton Demon Lord taught him everything. Lin Shan listened wholeheartedly and received the teachings. The shepherds' subordinates outside helped them control the bone flying boat.
……
Five days later, the flying boat crossed countless hills and plains, with a large swamp in front of it in the distance.
