Everyone was excited.
The leader wants to personally take action and go to northwest Shandong to deal with Zhong Shenxiu?
Two young Nascent Souls confront each other, who is stronger and who is weaker?
In this regard, they are naturally more inclined to their own leader, because Zhong Shenxiu is too far away from them, and they basically have no intersection with each other and don't know much about the situation.
But Lin Shan is by their side, and he is able to turn the tide every time he comes back. In their eyes, he is almost omnipotent!
"Elder Heiku, you continue to guard your home. I will go to the northern line in person."
Lin Shan couldn't help but give it the Soul Locking Pot and the Nirvana Mysterious Embryo Bow, requesting that he be strengthened to the ancient treasure level as soon as possible.
These two items are currently the few magic weapons that he will use in the future, but they are not enough in the Nascent Soul stage, so he just needs the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, the master of weapon refining, to upgrade himself.
"You have to figure out the materials yourself."
"No."
The Black Skull Demon Lord held the magic weapon in his hand and felt anxious when Lin Shan left him to guard the house again.
The key is, how do you want me to find this kind of adapted fifth-level spiritual material for you?
"If this matter can be done, the soul source will be indispensable for you."
"Uh, okay! Don't worry~"
The Black Skull Demon Lord immediately swallowed his complaints and patted his chest to express that he would definitely complete the mission!
Lu Xiuming handed over another bamboo tube at this time.
"Master, this is when Zhenjun Yueshang from Jingyang Academy came out of seclusion and sent someone to call him by name for your personal blessing."
Yueshang is Shui Bingyue's Taoist name.
Lin Shan pulled out a letter from the bamboo tube. It was sealed with true essence and could only be unlocked at the Nascent Soul stage. It seemed that Shui Bingyue was very confident in his cultivation.
It could have been predicted decades ago that he would reach the Nascent Soul stage.
After untying it, thousands of words were written on it, explaining the story of the attack on Jingyang Academy.
Especially the opponent, the Maiden Palace Saint!
Lin Shan knew for the first time that Shui Bingyue and this woman were mortal enemies?
However, the specific reason was not revealed. He just said that when he came back and had time, he would go to Jingyang Academy as a guest.
There was a message in and out of the words, Shui Bingyue seemed unwilling to give up, and wanted to cause trouble for the Maiden Palace Saint, and even wanted to drag him along!
"Shao Yubing"
Lin Shan murmured, reciting this newly learned name.
The other party is a saint from the Maiden Palace, and the Maiden Palace itself is not a small family. If they just come to visit, they may not be able to achieve anything.
Shui Bingyue may have been preparing for these years. Attacking a top power is not a trivial matter and one must think twice before making any move.
He put the matter aside for the time being, and after he had settled the Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang Alliance, it would not be too late to go find Shui Bingyue to understand the situation.
At this time, the banquet was still going on.
Lu Xiuming has almost finished his report, and there are still a lot of guests waiting below.
Lin Shan began to receive them one by one.
"Zhou Chongli, meet Lin Zhenjun!"
"Haha, Master Zhou, we are old acquaintances, no need to be formal, sit down!"
This former Doctor of the Five Classics of Yunchuan Academy has now become a visiting professor of the Xun Gu Sect, responsible for the communication between the two families.
Once upon a time, due to the tense situation between Xun Gu Sect and White Deer Academy, I was overwhelmed and exhausted to deal with it.
Now he finally waited for Lin Shan to make a strong return, especially the young Nascent Soul, which gave him a great shock!
Back then, he also went to the Central Territory and participated in the Zhong Shenxiu Nascent Soul Ceremony!
In comparison, the two are comparable.
At this age, he has a bright future!
He couldn't help but feel very grateful for his previous decision to contact Xun Gu Sect. Fortunately, he had always established a friendly relationship and was deeply bound to it. He did not back down despite the pressure from White Deer Academy.
The two talked a lot about cooperation.
During this period, Zhenren Zhou obviously no longer talked and laughed as freely as before, and became more respectful and reserved. He made various concessions in and out of his words, as if he was fully supporting the rapid rise of Xun Gu Sect.
Lin Shan was very satisfied with the attitude of Yunchuan Academy. This local academy in western Shandong has never suppressed the Xun Gu Sect and the Lujiang League. They have a relationship of mutual help and help. They can be called iron-clad allies. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Seeing that the other party was so kind, he also said that he would pay a visit when he had time to repay the professors for their strong support!
After the friendly exchanges between the two sides, it was the new city of Hongdu in southwestern Shandong.
At that time, the palace emerged from the chaos in the Mei River Basin and re-established order in southwestern Shandong, hoping to replace the Zhenzhi Academy that had been destroyed among the top ten academies.
At that time, Lin Shan even went to watch the ceremony to commiserate with the master of the palace, Kong Shenzi.
So many years have passed.
After the top forces in the Central Region established the mountain, they came to southwestern Shandong to visit and investigate, but they have not recognized their legitimacy for a long time.
The new government of Hongdu was organized from top to bottom, begging grandpa and grandma everywhere, but they just couldn't get the status they wanted.
Finally, they recognized the reality. It was obvious that when the waves of envoys from the Central Territory came, they hinted that they would accept various treaties and work as dogs for each family in exchange for support.
If you want to maintain a high degree of self-reliance, then sorry, we won’t recognize you, so just go and fend for yourself!
Immediately afterwards, various overt and covert sanctions came one after another.
In order to break the blockade, they had no choice but to establish good relations with their neighbors in western Lu and seek cooperation with the Lujiang League.
Especially after hearing that the leader of the Lujiang League had returned, he even rushed to seek out the ancient religion, preparing generous gifts and sincerity.
Lin Shan immediately encouraged them, saying that it didn’t matter if the four people in the Central Territory didn’t admit it. We, the Lujiang League and the Xun Gu Sect, would admit it!
Master Zhou followed closely and quickly expressed that Yunchuan Academy also recognized it!
Below, a large group of chaotic sect families in Luxi joined in the fun, shouting that they admitted it.
This made the envoy of Hongdu New Mansion so happy that he almost knelt down in front of Lin Shan on the spot!
After receiving these two families, they are the members of the Lujiang League.
Deputy Alliance Leader Yang briefly reported to him the situation within the alliance, and after he was well aware of it, the big fight finally began!
Because of his absence all year round, Deputy Leader Yang could not suppress it. Conflicts within the alliance gradually grew, interests were entangled with each other, cake resources were unevenly distributed, and internal strife broke out
All kinds of accusations, pleas, conflicts, reports, complaints, and appeals.
Waiting for all the messy things to happen, the leaders of various forces took advantage of his return to shake them all out.
The key is, there are actually people who are ‘crying for poverty’!
A certain Jindan master burst into tears, claiming that his sect could not make ends meet and could no longer operate. However, all the allies in the Lujiang League refused to save him and turned a blind eye, so they had no choice but to go to Linshan to appeal in person.
Deputy leader Yang stood behind him and explained one by one the origins of this group of people, their grudges, their situation, and the causes and consequences.
Especially when I hear people crying about poverty, it is not because they are deliberately targeted by others, but because they are not doing well in management, have difficulties in turning around, and are on the verge of bankruptcy. Who can blame them! Lin Shan looked ugly. What kind of weird thing was this? How did he get into the Lujiang League?
He is now in debt due to the ancient religion, and he is still helping you to help the poor?
The current general environment is already complicated, and the living space of all walks of life in the cultivation world is being squeezed. I am not your parents. If you join the alliance, you can eat and get cards everywhere. It’s a beautiful idea!
He ordered the guy to be kicked out on the spot and ordered to be expelled from the Lujiang League.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
The various sects and aristocratic families did not dare to quarrel, for fear that the alliance leader would get angry and get themselves kicked out.
"For any private disagreements between you, you can ask Deputy Alliance Leader Yang to mediate. Next, I will arrange for Mr. Lu from the Xun Gu Sect to assist and sort them out one by one."
Lin Shan had no time to care about these trivial matters, but pointed out a clear path for these people.
"Now that our leader has returned, merchants in northwest Shandong and Shangyang Academy have provoked and caused trouble countless times. It's time to come and teach them a lesson!"
"Follow the Xun Gu Sect. Those who can eat meat eat meat, and those who can drink soup drink soup. Pay close attention to the layout and take action in advance."
"When they are free, we Lujiang League people will step in. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"
The best way to deflect conflicts is to provoke external disputes.
A small Xun Gu sect would definitely not be able to eat a plate as big as Lu Beibei's, so he planned to share it with the younger brothers in his alliance.
This trip must be fast, accurate and ruthless!
Taking advantage of the fact that he had just returned and the four major families in the Central Region had not yet reacted, they first brought the Northwest Shandong Region into their sphere of influence.
The size of Xun Gu Jiao is still too small, and it still needs to be integrated if there is a chance.
This welcoming event lasted all afternoon.
By the time evening came, most of the things that needed to be discussed were finished, and everyone took their leave in a sensible manner. They quickly went back to prepare and pack up, and plan how to follow the Xun Gu Sect to encroach northward.
When no one was around, Lu Xiuming reported to Lin Shan the results over the years.
In addition to the Central Region and Northwest Lu State, antiques and cultural relics in the other seven remote areas of Lu State were secretly searched for for a whole sixty years!
He touched all the ancient objects with his own hands, and got a total of 125 ancient charm points this time. Counting the 37 points left after using the enhanced Black Skeleton Demon Lord Purple Contract, the value on the enhanced panel account came to 162 points!
"That is to say, in a country's cultivation world, the total number of folk collectible antiquities should be around 150 points."
Lin Shan had a rough idea in his mind that Lu State had a vast territory and was a big Confucian country, so it was normal for it to have a little more territory than other countries.
Now that Gu Yun has rebounded again, and with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, he needs to expand the power of his subordinates as much as possible to help him go out and spread harvest in other countries!
There are still many countries in this world, and he still has more ancient charms that he needs to put into his hands!
But it requires more power and manpower to do things for itself.
"The ancient charm you get must be transformed into your own strength as soon as possible."
He found that what needed to be strengthened most was the natal magic weapon Feng Bo Pavilion, as well as the "Wind and Thunder Technique" and the "Nirvana of the Mysterious Embryo Technique".
However, according to the 64 points required for each door to advance, Gu Yun can only upgrade two doors, and one door needs to be temporarily put aside.
After a brief thought, he decided to upgrade the "Nirvana Mysterious Embryo Skill" first since he already had the Nascent Soul stage skill "Red Falling Star Sutra".
Because this is the main training method of the Nirvana clone, if there is no follow-up training content in the Nascent Soul stage, it will seriously slow down the growth rate of the clone!
Although the clone dabbled in and practiced the "White Bone Manual" and "Corpse Wheel Peptide Poison Sutra" at the same time, it could only practice step by step on its own.
However, Nirvana Xuantai can rely on the 'weird dharma' to directly swallow the Yuanying of the Yuanying stage monk alive to improve his cultivation!
It would be too much of a waste of talent to leave this heaven-defying method of improvement and instead practice hard on your own.
Anyway, the enemies he killed along the way can be used as waste, something convenient.
With only one left, he weighed the pros and cons between Feng Bo Pavilion and "Wind and Thunder Jue".
The natal magic weapon must be strengthened sooner or later, and the earlier it is strengthened, the earlier it can be enjoyed, but the skills have the hope of being found in reality.
When Lin Fan reaches the Nascent Soul stage and becomes an elder of the Zixiao Sect, he will naturally be able to find out the whereabouts of Ouyang Feng, the abandoned disciple of the Zixiao Sect thousands of years ago. The "Wind and Thunder Manual" can then be found again.
It's a pity that he has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and has not yet gained a true understanding of the road ahead.
Otherwise, with your current understanding, if you can reach the late Nascent Soul stage, you can also create your own "Wind and Thunder Sutra" based on your own understanding of the entire Nascent Soul stage!
Creation skills are not enough if you only have understanding. It is impossible to imagine them out of thin air. They are castles in the air and duckweeds in the water.
You still have to rely on the basis of reality. Only by going through the entire journey yourself can you learn all the experience and create suitable and correct exercises.
He couldn't help but sigh, how the ancient ancestors had no reference, crossed the river on the blue road and stepped on the stones, and how they groped step by step and opened up the entire immortal civilization!
In the grand epic narrative, he is just a wave in the long river, and he still has a long way to go.
He took out a storage magic weapon and handed it to Lu Xiuming.
"The spiritual wine here is what I got from my travels. After refining, it can improve the cultivation level of the Golden Core. You can distribute rewards to potential Jindan masters based on your contribution within the sect as appropriate."
Although his subordinates are full of talents and Jin Danqi can stand alone in most situations, Lin Shan feels that it is not enough and hopes that they will grow up quickly to help him.
"There are also these magic weapons, classics, materials, spiritual stones, etc., you can do whatever you want."
"Yes!"
Lu Xiuming's consciousness went in to check it out, and he gasped because there were so many things inside that he couldn't see them all!
After knowing what he was doing, he bowed and retreated.
Go back to a place where you are alone.
Lin Shan took out his natal magic weapon and started strengthening it directly!
In the darkness, this small four-cornered pavilion emits a hazy green light under mysterious rules. Layers of illusory stone foundation tiles begin to stack up, gradually getting taller and wider.
In just a blink of an eye, it becomes an angular eight-sided pavilion!
The eight pavilion pillars are thick and strong, supporting the eaves of the pavilion with neat tiles.
For no reason, the wind rang in my ears.
A strong wind suddenly blew around, causing the roar of wind spirit energy for no reason. Lin Shan hurriedly suppressed it for fear of affecting the outside world!
