Chapter 526: First involvement with insects, then on to Yunchuan
"Reporting to the leader, the Swallowing Star Sect has been very active recently, and it seems that it has indeed made new discoveries."
Li Yuanjie responded.
As the crown prince of the subjugated country, his old Guo State troops were well-informed and well-informed on the Demonic Road. The key was that he had made arrangements to infiltrate the interior a long time ago, so he knew the dynamics of the Swallowing Star Sect very well.
In addition, he knew that the leader had always been concerned about this matter, so he was particularly concerned.
"It was reported half a year ago that the two golden elixir-stage ancestors of the Swallowing Star Sect returned from the Swallowing Star Mountains and purchased a large number of elixirs, talismans, and consumables. They only stayed for three days and hurriedly took away two-thirds of the disciples in the sect. ”
"Although they act very covertly and leave in batches at night, they still can't hide it from the informants over there."
"According to speculation, we should have surveyed the specific location of Zhenjun Yuxing's cave, and we are going to take people there to make arrangements in advance."
Everyone was excited and realized that the show was about to begin.
Lin Shan asked in a deep voice:
"Is the news reliable?"
“Absolutely reliable!”
Li Yuanjie's vow was enough to prove that Swallowing Star Sect had really found the cave.
"How long until the cave opens?"
"According to previous speculation, it should be about twenty-one years."
Li Yuanjie gave an accurate number.
Wu Hanqiao next to him came out to remind Lin Shan to prepare early.
"Master, although the star power projection period of Zichen Star in the upper realm is one period, if some accidents occur, it is not impossible for True Monarch Yu Xing's cave to be opened in advance, so it is better to do it sooner rather than later."
"Yeah."
Lin Shan nodded, he naturally understood this.
It's just that the Swallowing Star Gate is on the Jin side, in the northeast of Lu State, and I happen to be taking Brother Ji there to establish a sect, so it won't be too late to wait for Brother Chicken and the others to come back.
During this period, it was a good opportunity to calm down the turmoil in Lu Xi.
"Continue to follow up over there, and any news will be communicated immediately."
"Yes!"
Wu Hanqiao and Li Yuanjie retreated, and Lu Xiuming stood up again.
"Cult Leader, a while ago there was a mechanical puppet bird that broke into our sect and flew around. It refused to leave for a long time. We captured it. It seems to be a messenger?"
"What is it? Take it out and show it to me."
Lu Xiuming ordered people to go down and get it.
After a while, a large iron cage was carried up to the main hall by four disciples. From the way they struggled, it was clear that the iron cage was dense, heavy, and powerful.
"Bang!"
It made a dull sound when placed on the ground, echoing throughout the hall.
"Be gentle, the floor tiles are broken. Why are you so frizzy?"
Lu Xiuming scolded the four young men. They were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit their mistake.
Lin Shan waved his hand, not paying attention to these details, and let them go down.
There is a bird in the iron cage.
‘The messenger partridge’.
Good brother Lin Fan and his own unique book of thousands of miles.
It seems that he has been in seclusion for the past thirty years. After the messenger partridge flew to Tianfu Mountain, it was stopped by the cave's restrictions and could only circle around. The people in the sect thought it was a conspiracy with evil intentions, so they used the mountain protection formation. Captured.
Lin Shan asked him to open the iron cage, and the mechanical bird flew directly into his hands.
Taking out the bird's nest, the bird jumped in and spit out a roll of silk.
If there is no nest, then even if the puppet is destroyed, the information in it will not be obtained. There is an automatic destruction mechanism inside.
From the Song Dynasty to the State of Lu, it was able to fly safely across thousands of mountains and rivers, millions of miles away, and was delivered to Lin Shan intact, which is enough to show how good its quality and concealment are.
It is indeed an exclusive prop for Son of Luck.
Lin Shan opened the silk and saw tiny characters on it, all about his experience in repelling and raising insects.
It turned out that they were the Golden Ring Masters of the Beast Control Valley. After parting ways with the Southern Barbarians in the Song Dynasty, they went back to study for decades and figured out some methods of using black beetles and rhinoceros beetles, as well as their living habits and training tutorials.
According to the original agreement, all of them were delivered to Lin Fan of Zixiao Sect intact.
Lin Fan then sent the letter through thousands of miles and sent it to Lin Shan.
There is also a small bag wrapped in the silk, which contains more than a dozen kinds of grass seeds, all of which are basic fodder for raising insects.
The Golden Ring Double Festival is very interesting, and it also contains some insect food recipes.
As long as Lin Shan follows the above preparation, he will be able to feed the wild insects and thrive.
Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art. Not many years have passed since then, and the people in the Beast Control Valley have studied this kind of savage insect in detail, and even cracked the feed.
"You go find a medicinal garden and plant these grass seeds for me."
Lin Shan handed it over to Lu Xiuming casually, and also ordered him to find a few more disciples in the sect to raise grass for him.
Then he took the messenger partridge out of the nest, released it, and sent it back to Lin Fan.
Because I already have two of these things, if I don't put them back, I'm afraid Lin Fan won't have enough of them.
Next, everyone discussed some trivial matters about Xun Gu Sect, mainly to let Patriarch Lu Que integrate into this big family as soon as possible and get more familiar with and understand the sect.
Seeing that they had said almost anything, they dispersed and left.
Lin Shan was alone in the main hall, leaning on the throne and meditating.
I borrowed fire from Yunchuan Academy and was able to refine the Cangshi Mother. Now that the magic weapon of my destiny has been completed, I haven't had time to visit him to say thank you since I returned to Lu State.
Exactly half a year later, the Hongdu Academy in Lunan was about to start, so I might as well go with the people from Yunchuan Academy.
He casually called someone in and sent a message to Xianyin Pool, the headquarters of the Lujiang League, telling Master Yang to meet at Yunchuan Academy at that time.
Get up and return to the cave.
A large number of bottles and cans were placed in the spacious courtyard, all of which were captured during the raid on the Manzi tribe in Xiaoyizhou.
Identified one by one through the strengthening panel, some are used to feed and cultivate, some are used to increase the resistance of wild insects, some improve the natural abilities of wild insects, and some temporarily stimulate the combat power of wild insects.
He took out two animal skin bags. There were still a lot of wild insects inside. Most of them had not been released for food and ventilation for a long time, so they were in a dormant state.
Some of them were already dead, leaving only shriveled insect corpses mixed in with them.
This is not surprising either.
Even if you take care of it regularly, or leave it outside for a long time to dig a pond, or build a large insect tank to raise, insects will still die every day for no reason.
With a huge base, a cycle of the fittest is a common thing.
Lin Shan took out the deworming techniques recorded in the barbarian animal skin scrolls, compared them with the research results of the Golden Ring Shuangjie, and began to study them carefully after comparing them in both directions.
Differentiation of consciousness,
Spiritual attachment,
Fission manipulation,
Breed with blood, select the insect king,
Insect sea chemical,
Scouting Adventure,
Hidden ambush,
Waiting for a series of experiments to unfold, it is considered a new field that has never been touched before.
It's a pity that he was not given the insect-repelling manual of the Beast Control Valley, as well as the insect arrays and various magical spells comparable to magical powers.
Those are secrets that are not passed on to outsiders. Naturally, they cannot be handed over to outsiders.
The deworming techniques that Lin Shan could collect were not as effective as the barbarian deworming techniques, so he had to make do with the barbarian deworming techniques.
Many times, there are multiple means and multiple paths, which may be used in the future.
The higher your cultivation level, the more you need to learn other methods to avoid encountering dangers and difficulties. There are not enough options to choose from, and you can only stare blankly.
After half a year, I finally got started.
The one-horned fairy and the black beetle are the only two types of wild insects that he can currently possess as combat power that can come in handy at the golden elixir level.
He has also mastered various methods that humans can use and control.
Several practical tips recorded among the barbarians, as well as ways to deal with different situations, have also been tried many times by him and become familiar to him.
During this period, the Xun Gu Sect specially cultivated a large amount of Cordyceps, which was enough to consume the army of barbarian insects under Lin Shan's command, making it self-sufficient.
Brother Chicken, Pig-headed Monster and Black Skeleton Demon Lord have not returned in half a year, and I don’t know what happened to them in Ludong.
But Lin Shan was not worried at all.
Relying on the cunningness of the Black Skull Demon, the cunningness of the Pig-headed Monster, and the flying speed of Brother Chicken, it stands to reason that the three of them can escape from danger without much problem.
The opening ceremony of Hongdu University was coming soon, so he decided to call it a day and go there in person to represent the Lujiang League.
For this reason, I specially set off and went to Yunchuan Academy first.
It happened to be the beginning of school season, and Yunqiya was also crowded with people. There was an endless stream of monks studying from all over the place, and the scene was very lively.
The person who received him this time was still his old friend Zhou Zhenren, a doctor of the Five Classics.
"Master Lin, a distinguished guest has arrived, but half a century has passed since his arrival. He has made another breakthrough in his cultivation. What a joy to congratulate him!"
Lin Shan's Lujiang League is not recognized by the top forces, so although Yunchuan Academy has a good relationship with him, it is difficult to keep a secret on the surface. It is inconvenient to call him League Leader Lin, so he can only be called Leader Lin.
Lin Shan didn't take it seriously. The leader is the honorific name that the alliance members call themselves. It doesn't matter what outsiders call them.
"Zhenren Zhou has also been in high spirits recently. It seems that he is not far away from breaking through to the late stage of Golden Elixir and being promoted to professor!"
"Hey, there's nowhere to go, I'm still far behind~"
The two talked and laughed and walked into the academy together.
The same three old professors as last time met him in the hall together. The leader was none other than Gu Zhenren, the oldest person in the academy.
The last time he came, among the many futons on both sides, there were only a dozen or so people sitting there. This time, they were basically two-thirds full!
This shows the importance they attach to Lin Shan!
Because in the past six months, the ancient leader came out of seclusion, and the gambling to win over the masters of the late Jindan period has become a good story in Western Shandong through the vigorous dissemination of the Lujiang League.
Without even thinking about it, it must have been planned by Yang Zhenren, the deputy leader.
Other members of the alliance also keep up with current events, just to build momentum and boost prestige. Everyone has a tacit understanding of this.
This is the benefit of emerging forces.
Because in the early days of its establishment, all aspects were prosperous, and everyone naturally worked together to maintain and strengthen the alliance, which looked full of vitality to outsiders.
"Master Lin, I'm very happy to congratulate you. Your sect has added a late Jindan Taoist friend. It is said that he is a very rare soul cultivator. You must invite him to Yunchuan Academy to have a chat when you have time."
Master Gu was kind-hearted and personally showed Lin Shan how to sit at the head table.
"Don't dare, don't dare. This small temple of mine has just started. It is far from being able to sit down and discuss with the top ten academies. There are still many aspects that I need to ask for advice from you."
He said nice things, but actually he really meant it in his heart.
I talked about my recent thoughts on studying insect control, and I want to hear what the professional gentlemen here think about it.
Master Gu didn't expect that this kid would ask questions when he came up.
It seems that he is not alienated from himself at all.
However, Yunchuan Academy has learned from many experts and has covered a wide range of subjects. It has inheritances in all categories. Although insect control is not its strong point, there are only a few Jindan masters who know it.
These people were very kind and exchanged their experiences in controlling insects with him, which made Lin Shan gain a lot.
That’s how spiritual practice is, you always have to communicate with fellow practitioners.
If a person works behind closed doors, it is easy to end up in a blind alley. If you listen to what is right, you will be enlightened, but if you believe in it, you will be dark. Only by listening to other people's suggestions can you easily open your horizons.
After chatting for half an hour, the scene gradually became heated.
Lin Shan was basically familiar with everyone, so he took the initiative to get down to business.
First, I expressed my gratitude to the three old professors for refining the Earth Fire Seeds for me, and offered them their insignificant thoughts.
My intention is to fill up the library of Yunchuan Academy with some messy classics.
After killing the enemy, I didn't have time to learn most of the secret techniques anyway. Apart from throwing them to the Xun Gu Sect, I sent them here as a favor.
However, when he took out a lot of black lotus sect's magic books, the gentlemen of Yunchuan Academy looked embarrassed. They wanted to take them but didn't dare to take them.
Because they are a Confucian academy, they collect magic scriptures and are heard by outsiders, so it cannot be justified in terms of etiquette and justice.
Lin Shan saw the trick, so he secretly put it in a storage bag and gave it to Zhou Zhenren. The three old professors nodded silently after seeing it.
Everyone is one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
They say that magic is harmful to nature, but in fact these things should be collected, and they cannot be so pedantic as to be incompatible with each other.
When he took out the unique skills of Shang Yang Academy, other minor details didn't matter, mainly the "Huang Shen Lu Yuan Gong", the main skill of Jingxuan and his elders.
The expressions of all Jindan masters were cloudy and uncertain.
Because this is one of the inheritances of Shangyang Academy, it covers all the five elements skills and is enough to cultivate to the realm of Nascent Soul stage.
Although there are only two parts about water and metal here, they are equally hot and it is not convenient for them to be aboveboard.
"Ahem, I understand, I understand."
Lin Shan packed it in a storage bag and gave it to Zhou Zhenren.
The latter looked at the chairperson with a slight hesitation. Those three professors were all old-school professors. They did not express their opinions at all, looked sideways, and could not leave any clues for their educational career.
Zhou Zhenren had no choice but to grit his teeth and take it.
If something goes wrong in the future and there is any diplomatic dispute with another school, it is most likely that he 'made his own decision' in the first place and is blamed.
Lin Shan took a peek and discovered that there seemed to be various discords in the cultivation education community in Lu State. There were not many gentlemen like Zhenren Zhou who had the courage to take responsibility.
She couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and told him not to worry. In his own Xungu Sect and Lujiang League, this kind of practice was already on the streets.
There are many people who have learned this, so there is no need to worry about accountability.
The gentlemen of Yunchuan Academy were speechless after hearing this. No wonder Shangyang Academy secretly supported the expansion of merchants to the south. You, the boy, openly displayed undisclosed secrets in your alliance and let so many people see it. This Who can bear it?
"Master Lin, we already know your intentions. Let's first talk about this trip to Hongdu Academy!"
