Chapter 252 True Lord Yuxing
Luyu stalactite.
In a cave nourished by spiritual veins, under a long geological history and specific geological conditions, the essence of heaven and earth formed stalactites and stalagmites over many years.
It can be used to make medicine, make elixirs, restore spiritual power and mana, increase longevity, and can also be used to refine the body with jade liquid.
It is a rare spiritual creature from heaven and earth.
Of course, there are more than just this kind of spiritual objects that assist in the refining of jade liquid, but all of them are extremely precious and hard to find in the world. Lin Shan was extremely excited to get such news.
"Do you know the exact location of this object?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Hanqiao really knew, but it was a little unnatural to say it.
"Master, I heard from my senior brother in Jingyang Academy that this spiritual object came from the Swallowing Star Mountains in the northeastern part of Lu State, and it is also within the forbidden area of the cliff."
"The Forbidden Land on the Cliff!"
There were constant exclamations in the hall, and everyone took a breath of air.
Everyone is familiar with the Cliff Forbidden Land. This is one of the most famous forbidden lands in the Star Swallowing Mountains. It is said that a long time ago, evil spirits from outside the world invaded this world, and the great powers of this world gathered to fight. The ruins were left after the war.
There are not only various inheritances left over from long ago, but also various bizarre phenomena of heaven and earth, such as Aurora Sea, Dangmo Cave, Evil Soul Tomb, Hongya Cave, etc.
When the Lujiang League besieged and conquered the Dai family, the Dai family invited foreign aid from the Jindan period, including San Yangzi and Cheng Longzi. Among them, Cheng Longzi got a "Star-Glowing Aurora Mirror" from the Aurora Sea that year. The ancestor of the Yang family in the late Jindan period was seriously injured.
Everyone who participated in that battle still has fresh memories.
The forbidden area on the cliff is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be found there permanently. Almost everyone in the cultivation world of Lu country knows this, and all the monks will change their expressions upon hearing this.
Wu Hanqiao fully recounted what his senior brother said while drunk.
"Thousands of years ago, there was a golden elixir-level elder from a sect in the Lu State who was about to die, so before he died, he entered the cliff forbidden area for a try. Later, this real man not only came out safely, but also found magical spiritual objects such as reed jade and stalactites. Not only did he successfully increase his longevity, he also brought him back to the sect to train two golden elixir monks.”
"There were too many coincidental factors in that expedition. The elder of the sect knew that it would be difficult for him to go in again in his life. In addition, the top forces were forcing him to inquire, so he told the inside story."
"It turns out that there is a natural cave stalactite forest in the Hongya Cave in the forbidden area of the cliff. In an inconspicuous corner, there is a special 100,000-year-old reed jade stalactite hanging upside down. Its tip is less than three inches. It is the famous reed jade stalactite.”
"The real essence of reed jade stalactites is only three inches long. After being broken off by the elders of the sect, it takes about a thousand years to settle before it can be restored again. At that time, the 100,000-year-old reed jade stalactites will be regenerated at the tip. .”
"Now, the time is almost up. The essence of the reed jade stalactite has probably grown out and is ready to be collected. Many millennium forces in the world of cultivation have heard this and tried to get a share of the pie."
< br>
"Of course, especially the older generations in various sects and aristocratic families who are about to reach the end of their lifespan, they want to strive for a better future before they die, or explore the way for the forces behind them and contribute their last remaining energy."
< br>
……
After everyone listened, they suddenly realized that this was the background.
Those forces that have existed for more than a thousand years have been exposed to this kind of information more or less back then, so they still remember the matter clearly. However, nascent sects like the Xun Gu Sect, because of their insufficient background and years, naturally do not understand the inside story. .
Fortunately, Wu Hanqiao knew the intelligence brother from Jingyang Academy, otherwise Lin Shan would still have been kept in the dark.
It’s just that the reed jade stalactites are in the forbidden cliffs of the Swallowing Star Mountains
Hongya Cave?
Why does this place name sound familiar
Lin Shan's face looked a little weird. He couldn't remember it so he didn't think too much about it. He put it aside for the time being, raised his chin and began to think deeply.
The group of believers below looked at each other in disbelief, not daring to disturb the leader's thinking.
The time of a stick of incense is not long or short.
Lin Shan raised his head again and directly ordered Lu Xiuming and Wu Hanqiao:
"You will dispatch your troops immediately to find out all the information about the cliff forbidden area for me in detail!"
The two were shocked and quickly tried to dissuade them:
"Leader, think twice! The forbidden area on the cliff is a famously dangerous place. Nine of the ten people who enter will not return. The remaining one is left to his fate. You must not enter rashly!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but said: "I just asked you to get information for me first, and I will decide whether to go or not after a while!"
All His Highnesses also came out to dissuade him: "The leader is young and already in the ranks of Jindan Daoist people. He will still have a lot of time and infinite possibilities in the future. There is no need to take risks. Please consider it again and again!"
Lin Shan had trouble saying that he couldn't tell his subordinates about his own situation, so he could only say a few vague words:
"Don't worry about it, you guys, just ask me for information!"
Everyone was still worried, and they all tried to persuade him not to be impulsive.
"The leader has now become a real person in the golden elixir, so he doesn't need the jade liquid to refine his form. This kind of spiritual object that helps you break through the golden elixir stage is already dispensable to you, so why take the risk?"
Lin Shan waved his hand impatiently. He couldn't tell these people that I was in the soul elixir stage and hadn't broken through the golden elixir stage yet, right?
Thinking of this, he didn't want to get entangled too much, but secretly noted the matter. After instructing them to investigate with all their strength, he began to change the topic and asked Yu Jiaoniang for clues about the Star Power Technique and Star Power Supernatural Power.
However, Yu Jiaoniang, the leader of the intelligence hall, was very incompetent. Not only was the news about the jade liquid refining not found, but also the clues related to star power were not found.
Lin Shan was furious and slapped the case fiercely!
"Trash! I haven't found anything for ten years, and I can't even find out any news. Why should I keep you here?!"
Yu Jiao Niang knelt on the ground, crying so hard that her pear blossoms were covered with rain, and her face was so frightened that she looked pitiful.
Lin Shan felt more and more that this woman was a vase, useless at all, and he couldn't even find any information. He was just thinking about whether to expel her from the mountain gate.
Another person walked out from under the main hall, a short and thin man.
"To the leader, my subordinates know a little bit about the clues to the star power."
"Oh?"
Everyone looked sideways and realized that it was Li Yuanjie. This man was always known for his calmness in the church. After the fall of the country, there was also a group of loyal royal family members who helped him to gather information about his homeland.
Lin Shan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that these subordinates had their own information channels, which were even better than the Xun Gu Sect's Information Hall, so he asked him to tell them quickly.
Li Yuanjie bowed his hands in salute and talked about what he had learned.
"The leader should know that his subordinate Guo State was once destroyed by a demonic sect from the Jin Kingdom, and that demonic sect was called Swallowing Star Sect." Everyone nodded, knowing that they all knew about his past.
Lin Shan couldn't help but think of it: "Does the Swallowing Star Gate have anything to do with the Swallowing Star Mountain Range?"
Li Yuanjie nodded: "Master Mingjian, it is indeed the case."
"The Swallowing Star Mountain Range is in the northeastern part of the Lu State, and it also borders the southeastern Chu State and the northwest Jin State. It can be said to be the junction of the Three Kingdoms. Many magic monks also like to explore there."
"The Swallowing Star Sect is a casual cultivator sect that came into being two hundred years ago. This demonic sect trains disciples and likes to send them to the Swallowing Star Mountains to explore paths and obtain materials for the powerful people in the sect. The entire sect also The main goal is to explore the Star Swallowing Mountains, and this has been the case for many years.”
"It's just that the Swallowing Star Mountain Range is really huge, and there are a lot of dangerous and forbidden areas in it, and there are countless monsters and monsters that are not friendly to human monks. Therefore, so far, the human race can explore less than 20% of the area, and the farther into the deep mountains and old forests, The more dangerous it is, the harder it is to enter.”
……
Lin Shan nodded frequently: "But, what does this have to do with the star power technique I need?"
At this time, Li Yuanjie took out a jade slip and presented it to him while also explaining at the same time.
"The remnants of my hometown in Guo, young and old, have been working underground there. The news they sent me a few days ago mentioned that they heard that the Swallowing Star Gate has been snaring formation mages everywhere in the past few decades. It seems that Preparing for the inheritance cave of a certain Nascent Soul Real Lord.”
"The inheritance cave of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Everyone was shocked and listened attentively.
Li Yuanjie is still introducing in detail:
"It is said that the cave of this existence seems to vaguely correspond to the position of the stars in the sky. It can only be revealed at a specific moment and under a specific star. It has been hidden on weekdays. Therefore, some knowledgeable demonic forces speculate that this Nascent Soul What Zhenjun has learned is most likely related to star power.”
Lin Shan looked at the records on the jade slips, and there was no discrepancy with what Li Yuanjie said.
In a daze, he seemed to think of something, and asked by chance:
"Do you still remember the name of the Nascent Soul True Monarch?"
Li Yuanjie looked hesitant: "It seems that his name is Zhenjun Yuxing, and my subordinates are not sure."
"True Lord Yuxing!"
Lin Shan suddenly recalled that just half a month ago, he had fought with Protector Qiu in Jingchuan, the eastern part of the Lu State. Through the star gate, he heard the words of the young master Jiuyou on the other side, which seemed to mention "the secret treasure of True Lord Yuxing". "One thing!"
According to his speculation at the time, the Star Gate in Protector Qiu's hand was not only a sub-tool of Young Master Jiuyou's spiritual treasure "Youxing Gate", but it also assisted in forming formations at critical moments to obtain the secret treasure of True Lord Yuxing. important means.
It's just that when Qiu Dharma Mountain ran out of water, he had no choice but to consume an important item, attracting a massive amount of star power to arrive in an attempt to open the star gate to protect himself. As a result, the star power was intercepted by the virtual star disk, and the star gate was also intercepted by Lin Shan, resulting in Jiuyou Shao. The main spirit treasure is lacking, which is one of the fundamental reasons for the feud between the two.
"Young Master Jiuyou has been plotting the inheritance of True Lord Yuxing, and the people from Swallowing Star Sect are also making preparations. It seems that those on the demonic side may not be the only ones who know about this matter."
Lin Shan secretly weighed in his heart that it was not convenient for him to provoke Young Master Jiuyou for the time being, but the Swallowing Star Sect
Li Yuanjie has a very discerning eye, and I have to say that although everyone in Lin Shan's group likes to fish, they are very good at observing words, and they all have the potential to be a coward.
"The Swallowing Star Sect is a medium-sized sect. It is very similar to our Xun Gu Sect. There are three Jindan Masters in the sect, and they have thousands of demonic disciples. They are mainly composed of three casual cultivating factions that check and balance each other. And unanimously open to the outside world."
Lin Shan had a general understanding of the situation on the other side. To put it bluntly, the Swallowing Star Sect was a sect composed of three Jindan-level casual cultivators. They had the same goal of exploring the Swallowing Star Mountains, so they united to eat meat and drink soup together. It was as simple as that.
As for this sect that has only been established for two hundred years and dares to overthrow a small country like Guo, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The Guo Kingdom is just a small country, and the power of the demonic sect behind it is gradually declining. They can only swallow their anger. There is no shame in ceding territory. Who told them that their fists are not strong enough.
When the Swallowing Star Sect takes over a piece of territory, it is natural for them to support their own agents, and it is natural for them to destroy the original royal family.
What's more, the rise and fall of forces in the devil's path is commonplace. Everyone wants to seize the day and make enemies. Take advantage first and then talk about it. Whether you can take revenge in the future depends on your ability. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Anyway, it is the tradition there to serve food to people in person. People with strong backgrounds dare not mess with them, and everyone wants to pinch the soft persimmons. If the Guo Kingdom is not destroyed by the Swallowing Star Sect today, it may be eaten by other sects tomorrow. The key reason is still The result of the indifference of the forces behind them.
Therefore, Li Yuanjie was extremely resentful and harbored deep hatred for more than one sect in his heart.
Lin Shan thought for a moment, and realized that the three Golden Core Stage monks were not much different from the Xun Gu Sect. He was now considered to be one Golden Core Stage warrior, and the Black Skeleton Demon Lord was officially one and a half because of the bonus of the Formation Master. Master Zhankong is also a master of formations, which can barely be counted as half.
In total, the high-end combat power of both sides is quite balanced, but compared with the disciples, Xun Gujiao's side definitely does not have an advantage. First of all, they have thousands of people, while Tianfu Mountain only has a few hundred people.
Moreover, most of the demonic monks are fierce and aggressive. The Xun Gu Sect's disciples are all new disciples who have just been recruited. Their combat effectiveness and loyalty will still need time to be tested.
Of course, this is just a superficial comparison.
In fact, as long as the high-end combat power can determine the outcome, these disciples below will only serve as a containment before they grow up, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
Lin Shan probably thought about it for a while. Young Master Jiuyou and the Swallowing Star Gate have been preparing for decades. It will take some time before the secret of True Monarch Yuxing will be opened. He is not in a hurry and will wait to get the breakthrough golden elixir first. After finishing the previous matters, go to Swallowing Star Gate to find out the news about True Lord Yuxing’s secret treasure.
"Well, I already know about this. The information you provided this time is very important. I will give you a big credit!"
After so many years, the Xun Gu Sect's contribution system has been gradually established. It can be exchanged for resources and issued tasks. Level by level unlocks to gain power and authority, giving these high-level officials the right to cultivate direct descendants. It can be regarded as a virtuous circle.
Li Yuanjie thanked him and stepped back without saying another word.
After listening to all the reports, Lin Shan had a general understanding of the current situation of the Xun Gu Sect, and he had a pretty good idea.
He first delegated more rights to Lu Xiuming, and then severely reprimanded a group of inactive senior executives, asking them to remember and stop being lazy.
As for the vase of Yu Jiaoniang, Lin Shan originally wanted to drive it away directly, but the Black Skeleton Demon Lord begged hard, and it was difficult to treat the "Hei Ku Elder" too lightly in front of everyone, otherwise the skeleton would be very difficult to deal with in the future. It is possible to lose all prestige within the church.
So Lin Shan simply removed Yu Jiaoniang's position as the leader of the intelligence hall, split her rights into two parts, and handed them over to Wu Hanqiao and Li Yuanjie respectively. Both of them had their own information channels, which could help the Xun Gu Sect to reorganize quickly. Intelligence team.
In addition, Lin Shan also ordered them to investigate whether there is a sect called Jiuyou Sect in the Demonic Kingdom, and to find out the details of the other party, so as to do their homework in advance.
One last thing is that as the leader of Xun Gu Sect, Lin Shan should establish his own dharma title after breaking through the golden elixir stage. He would open the gate of the mountain to invite his colleagues to a banquet. This would not only show off his power and celebrate, but also bring his own name to the world. The head spreads out.
This matter was left to Lu Xiuming. Now he started sending invitations to various friendly forces. The time was set for Tianfu Mountain in three months. Thinking about it, it should be too late.
After everything was explained, Lin Shan returned to his cave and began to retreat.
First practice the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" to see if it can solve the current problem of kidney deficiency.
