Chapter 550 Pass token, tit for tat
For monks who control insects, the Jimelong Insect Nest can raise insects and assist in their evolution and transformation. Its effect is no less than a spiritual treasure!
But for others, it's just a piece of cake.
Especially Lin Shan is still a dabbler!
He doesn't have a serious guide to expelling insects at all, nor does he have any effective insect repellent techniques. There are only two types of wild insects in his hand that can reach the golden elixir stage.
Fortunately, the Jinhuan Shuangjie from Yushou Valley helped him develop a formula for synthesizing insect food in the human world, so that he could feed him even if he left Xiaoyizhou.
Now there is another insect nest.
It doesn’t matter whether he knows how to control insects or not, just throw it in first and that’s it!
Until now, Lin Shan has not fully learned the various skills in the world of cultivation. He has been committed to pursuing the improvement of cultivation and magical powers.
For things like sub-professions, there is an enhancement panel and the help of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, so it is really not needed for the time being.
And all learning requires a process of accumulation over time.
He has just turned a hundred years old now, and is still a young man. It is too late to spend all his time in retreat and practice. How can he have the time to study other things all day long?
No master or guru can achieve success overnight.
Now that I have accidentally come into contact with the field of insect control, I can only accumulate slowly and let nature take its course.
Having just obtained the insect nest, he was too embarrassed to reach out to the Insect Demon King again and ask if he had any insect repellent skills or anything like that.
Because he pays more attention to establishing friendship with this big boss.
In many cases, you have to take a long-term view, and you can't do some price-cutting behavior just because of petty profits, so that the big boss will look down on you.
Demon King Ji Chong did feel good at the banquet today, and Lin Shan was very pleasing to the eye.
Because this kid is very wise and sensible, he saves himself a lot of time, and he also knows how to respect himself.
In addition, I didn’t know what Demon King Kuihu had said, so I pondered for a moment and asked him if he had any spiritual wood materials from the past that were of good quality.
Lin Shan didn't know why this big boss of the Demon King suddenly reached out for materials, but he would definitely be satisfied with whatever he was told!
"If there are any spiritual trees above level 4 in our sect's treasure house, take them out and show them to Senior Demon King!"
Lu Xiuming had been standing bowed behind him.
After hearing the leader's instructions, he hesitated:
"Master, we have indeed found two fourth-level spiritual trees in the past decades, but"
There are nearly a thousand disciples in the Xungu Sect. During this period, it is not surprising to find one or two high-level treasures.
You don't have to dedicate yourself to the sect in exchange for cultivation resources and training. It is also a matter of mutual benefit between the sect and its disciples.
But I can't stand the fact that there are two formation mages inside the door!
"But what?"
"However, Elder Heiku and Elder Zhankong applied for transfer. Are they used to set up formations or refine weapons? We don't know, and we don't dare to ask."
The treasure house within the sect is the public property of the Xun Gu Sect.
Ordinary supplies must be applied for by the hall master and the general manager Lu Xiuming nods in approval before they can be allocated.
When it comes to high-end materials, only with the approval of the leader and elders can you apply for transfer!
The Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong are elders within the sect. They applied for the "formation research project" themselves and approved the "funding approval" within the sect.
Isn’t that just a casual call?
"."
Lin Shan was choked.
Good guy, what's going on? There are two moths in the church!
Lu Xiuming was not surprised. After all, the Jingyang Academy where he used to work often revealed that professors in the academy used various names to apply for various project supports to enrich their own pockets.
Totally not surprised!
This is an unspoken rule. Everyone does it. If you can plunder the power behind it, why not plunder it?
"I"
Lin Shan had no choice but to take the money from his own pocket.
He naturally has the fourth level spiritual tree, so he will undoubtedly have to deal with the saplings of the ancient phantom tree.
Since the emergence of red jade spiritual soil, the saplings have grown very well recently and can be harvested lightly.
The Insect Demon King took the phantom wood branch, spit out a ball of green insect fire on the spot, and began to calcine and refine it.
After a while, a green round card fell from the fire.
"This is my access token to the Huogen Mountain. If you come to the Swallowing Star Mountains in the future, you can bring this token to the central part to find me. The monsters along the way in my territory will not stop you."
Lin Shan was flattered.
Unexpectedly, this is what the Demon King Ji Chong meant when he asked for materials!
He took it with both hands, briefly refined it and put it away, then thanked him quickly.
After the Demon King Chong had eaten and drank enough, he took out the demon baby of the Demon King Songshen and left behind the magical soul-locking pot.
With a big wave of his hand, he told him that there was no need to send him off, that his trip was complete and it was time to return to the realm of the demon clan.
Lin Shan and all the Jindan Masters from the Lujiang League respectfully sent him off until the dot on the horizon disappeared.
Everyone seems to be still in a dream!
"I just came to attend a trial today, and I actually met the Demon King!"
"Fortunately, the leader has a wide network of friends and can adapt to situations and turn conflicts into friendship. He is indeed the most knowledgeable among us!"
"Yes, if the alliance leader can establish a relationship with the Demon King, he may be able to open up trade between the two tribes in the future and benefit the Lujiang River Basin."
"Actually, I'm not worried at all. With the alliance leader's mind and potential, the demon king is nothing more than that. Sooner or later he will catch up."
This group of people witnessed the whole process of establishing diplomatic relations between Lin Shan and the Demon King. Their envy and admiration were beyond words, and their flattery was endless.
"Hey, low-key and low-key~"
Lin Shan told them not to spread rumors around. Although he was very popular among the demon clan, it was best not to show off in the human world.
This actually made everyone feel that he was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and that he was someone who could achieve great things.
The banquet is over.
Everyone said goodbye one after another. Everyone was an ancestor of a faction and had their own things to be busy with.
Only an old woman in the golden elixir stage stayed.
"Leader, I want to talk to you alone."
"Huh? You are Ruyi Zhenren."
Lin Shan remembered that this person was none other than Ruyi Zhenren, the owner of Ruyi Fang, one of the thirteen Dharma protector seats in his Lujiang League.
More than half a century has passed, and he is visibly aging more and more, and it seems that his life span is not that many years away.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. With more forces in the alliance, it is natural that there will be golden elixir stage monks who are approaching their end. It is not surprising.
Fortunately, Ruyifang has a successor, and he has trained another golden elixir stage successor early, which is the granddaughter of Ruyi Zhenren, Ruyu Zhenren.
"Leader, do you still remember my granddaughter Ruyu?"
The old woman in front of him looked at him expectantly, as if she had wanted to tell him about this for a long time, but Lin Shan had always been either out or in seclusion, and had rarely seen anyone at all.
If I don’t say anything this time, I’m afraid there will be no chance.
One is that his time is approaching, and the other is that his granddaughter is young and can’t wait any longer! "Well, let me think about it."
Lin Shan has experienced a lot over the years, which has caused many things to be forgotten. Although he forgot them for a while, he can still recall them temporarily.
"Oh, you mean the genius of your sect, Ruyu Zhenren, I remembered it!"
When he had just returned from the Cliff Forbidden Land, the two elders of Jingxuan took advantage of the death of the previous leader of the alliance, the ancestor of the Yang family, and led a team to come to Xianyin Pool to provoke him.
After he killed the chickens to scare the monkeys and subdued the thirteen forces, Master Ruyi of Ruyifang conveyed to him his intention to become in-laws.
But at that time, he was busy with the matter of his natal magic weapon.
I went back to the Song Dynasty for a trip, and then came a long breakthrough in seclusion.
Master Ruyi has been on duty at the Lujiang League headquarters for two consecutive times. His tenure has been ten years, and he has never seen Lin Shan, the league leader, come here once!
This time, taking advantage of the joint trial, she finally couldn't sit still!
Because more than thirty years ago, his granddaughter Ruyi had just broken through the golden elixir stage and was not even a hundred years old. She was in the standard "peach and plum years".
Now that half a century has passed, you must know that time is not forgiving.
In this world, the boundary between youth and middle age is broadly defined around the age of thirty to thirty-five. According to the ratio of Jindan Zhenren's four hundred life span, once he exceeds one hundred and forty years old
Then you are no longer young, but middle-aged!
There is another title for middle-aged female cultivators.
Half-aged MILF!
Of course, if the charm still exists, it must still exist, but in the blind date market of the cultivation world, compared with the peach and plum years, it is definitely not a value.
So as an elder, Master Ruyi certainly has to worry about it!
Seeing that he will no longer be young in a few years, how can he still be worthy of an immortal talent like Leader Lin?
So she shamelessly recommended herself.
Lin Shan had never thought about this, but now he suddenly heard Master Ruyi mention it, and suddenly thought of himself. If he failed to break through the Nascent Soul stage early, he would most likely enter middle age.
However, he had taken the elixir of longevity, ten thousand years of spiritual milk plus reed jade stalactite, and he was approaching the age of six hundred years. Middle age was still very early and would not appear until he was two hundred and ten years old.
Based on my current progress of just one hundred years old, as long as I can maintain my bravery and diligence, it is estimated that the transition from youth to the next realm is very possible.
For other Jindan masters, one hundred and forty years old is a watershed.
"Leader, my granddaughter Lan Xinhui is gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful. You can't find many in Luxi. She is a rare good match!"
"Of course, in terms of talent and potential, it is definitely far inferior to the alliance leader, but among the same level, it must be outstanding!"
"As the saying goes, a hero matches a beauty, and a good horse eats good grass."
"You have been single for so many years, it is time to find a couple."
A smile appeared on Zhen Ruyi's face, like a bright chrysanthemum, and he looked like a matchmaker.
Wang Po sells melons and boasts about herself.
She praised her granddaughter from beginning to end, almost saying she was a fairy in the sky!
If Lin Shan had been in the past and found a female cultivator who was also at the Golden Core stage to be his Taoist companion, he would have really had that idea.
But now is different from the past, he has too many secrets.
Whether it is two spiritual treasures, other ancient treasures, magic treasures, or even too many messy things, it is even close to the opening of Yuxing's secret treasure.
I really don’t have time to care about him at the moment!
"This alliance leader is already aware of your kindness, but there have been a lot of trivial matters recently. Do you want me to discuss it later?"
"Leader, if we settle this matter earlier, we can stabilize the alliance, make everyone work as one, and even work hard to give birth to heirs early."
"Ahem, no need to!"
Lin Shan is still working hard after hearing all the dark things in his head?
I don’t practice cultivation anymore?
Where is the free land for farming?
Besides, his horizons have broadened, and it's not like he hasn't seen better women before.
It is relatively rare to find a hundred-year-old golden elixir-level female cultivator, but she still has an infinite future. She has a long road ahead and will always meet more outstanding people. How can she easily become a Taoist partner?
If you say that being a concubine does not require status, then I might consider it
But this is absolutely impossible. Unless he faces the True Monarch Nascent Soul, he will not be willing to be the concubine of a monk of the same level.
"Leader, you two are both in your prime, why should you waste your time and your beautiful family?"
"It's not that this alliance leader doesn't understand the style, but"
"Report!——"
A female disciple from Ruyifang below suddenly received the messenger talisman. After reading it, her expression changed drastically and she hurriedly came to report.
"Master, there is an urgent call from home!"
Master Ruyi is very dissatisfied. At this juncture of proposing marriage, is there anything that cannot be discussed later?
No matter how important it is, how important is it to have a backer?
As long as she can find a suitable supporter for her granddaughter before she dies, she is willing to pay no matter how high the price is, otherwise how can she leave with peace of mind!
However, since Lin Shan couldn't reprimand his family too much in person, he could only simply ask what was going on.
Unexpectedly, this disciple said something shocking directly.
"Zhenren Ruyu was dissatisfied with your decision to give her a private life. After you left, she made a big fuss in the Deacon Hall. Then she left Ruyifang alone and went all the way north to join her alma mater, Shangyang Academy!"
"It is said that I still invested in the lineage of Master Shang Geng and earned the position of a gentleman."
"It even took away a large amount of resources in the treasure house and injured several deacons."
"Now the house has turned into a mess. There is no owner, and the chaos is overwhelming."
"Before she left, she even said something about thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. Don't bully young girls into poverty!"
"???"
Lin Shan and Master Ruyi were both stunned at the same time!
What the hell, why don’t you bully a young girl into being poor?
How old are you, and you still leave a girl here? The key is who bullied you into being poor!
Master Ruyi was almost so angry that he couldn't even breathe.
If I didn’t arrange a marriage for you, why would you just jump out and take away a lot of the sect’s property? What’s more, you even defected to the enemy camp!
At this time, Lin Shan's face suddenly darkened.
Although Shangyang Academy is still neutral on the surface and is blocked by Yunchuan Academy, it is undeniable that it is already in opposition to the Xun Gu Sect and even the Lujiang Alliance.
Master Ruyu's escaping over there at this time is equivalent to betraying the Lujiang Alliance. This is simply a slap in the face and unforgivable!
"Leader of the Alliance, this child Ruyu is not sensible at the moment. I will write a letter to persuade her after I return"
"No need!"
We have all reached the golden elixir stage, and there is nothing sensible or ignorant to say.
There is no impromptu idea at this age, most of it has been planned for a long time!
"Where's Lu Xiuming?"
"My subordinates are here!"
The chief manager always appeared in time to take care of his worries.
Lin Shan's eyes were fierce and determined, looking to the northwest.
"There is no need to keep the merchant's master Shang Ding."
"Cut off his head, put it in a box, and send it to Shangyang Academy, under the disciple of Master Shang Geng!"
"I want this old guy to know that any traitor who dares to take in our Lujiang Alliance must be mentally prepared to die!"
