Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 1952 The Reward of the Void Spirit
The words "killed" from Liu Qinghuan left Li Shan and the others stunned.

"You..." Li Shan said in disbelief, "You killed Ancestor Xing Nie?"

He thought he had at most injured or lured the other party away, but Liu Qinghuan killed him directly.
To kill a rogue immortal with the cultivation of Mahayana cultivator is unheard of!

Liu Qinghuan said, "In this realm, one cannot use magical power unless one has a specially made token. I used a trick to seize Xing Nie's token. With this shift in power, the opponent's cultivation was unable to be fully utilized, and he prepared to consume the secret medicine."

"It just so happens that I've also made some progress in the art of alchemy, and I have some unusable pills that I haven't had time to deal with..."

Liu Qinghuan briefly recounted what had happened, leaving Li Shan and the other two dumbfounded. They exclaimed, "It can't be like this? It's really like this?"

However, he did not mention the part about the immortals and demons trying to rescue Xing Nie from afar, and instead took out several shell-shaped tokens.

"This was found on Xing Nie's body. Just a drop of his essence blood is enough to restore your magic power."

Overjoyed, the group quickly accepted the gift.

"Great! I can finally use my magic!" Tiannu exclaimed. "Ever since I entered the Black Mist Tide, I've almost been driven to my death by frustration. How dare a few tiny sea creatures act so arrogantly in front of me!"

He turned to look at the fish-headed guards charging towards him, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.

He summoned his spirit tiger and charged in that direction.

After receiving the seashell, Xu Lingzi thanked the owner and quickly went to the side to meditate and regulate his breathing.

As long as he has magical powers, his injuries are nothing to fear, so he naturally needs to heal them as soon as possible.

Li Shan carefully examined the seashell in his hand, and after a while said, "This thing... is a bit unusual!"

"What?" Liu Qinghuan asked.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to examine it closely, but now that I look at it, the seashell does indeed look a bit different.

Li Shan seemed to have considerable experience in weapon crafting, saying, "Look at the patterns here, they're generally called Immortal Flame Patterns, but this token shows no signs of being crafted, and the Immortal Flame Patterns are even growing..."

He looked puzzled and fell into thought.

Liu Qinghuan asked, "What does this mean?"

Li Shan took out another seashell from his pocket and said, "This was snatched from those guards, but it's much smaller than the one you gave me, and the immortal flame pattern isn't as obvious."

I suspect these seashells weren't crafted by Star Nirvana, but rather were naturally formed and inherently possessed the ability to ignore the restrictions of the Black Mist Tide's forbidden magic.

"So these seashells grew in the immortal flames?" Liu Qinghuan found it unbelievable.

Li Shan was clearly unsure: "They might also be living near places with celestial flames. Xing Nie must have discovered its properties and used it as a token for entering and exiting the Black Mist Tide."

Liu Qinghuan looked at him: "What do you want to do?"

"If..." Li Shan pondered, "we can find the Land of Immortal Flames, wouldn't we also get more seashells, and then send more people into the Black Mist Tide!"

His eyes grew brighter as he spoke, but Liu Qinghuan immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Where are you going to look? The Mountain and Sea Ruins are vast and boundless. Xing Nie must have kept the secrets of the Immortal Flame Land extremely hidden. Now that he is dead, there's no way to even ask him."

Li Shan, however, seemed confident: "Let's discuss this further later."

He carefully put the seashell away, and then his gaze towards Liu Qinghuan became somewhat complicated.

"Brother Liu, I never expected you could kill Xing Nie. Without you, we would have been unable to make any progress on this journey to find the Five-Colored Stone."

Liu Qinghuan said, "There's no need for such words between us."

Li Shan laughed and said with emotion, "Talented people emerge in every generation, and each generation is stronger than the last. It seems that we old guys are really getting old. You will have to take the lead in the Wanhu Realm in the future."

Liu Qinghuan said speechlessly, "Don't try to shift the blame. I'm often away from the realm, so you'll have to take the fall yourself!" Li Shan laughed loudly, "I was being too attached to appearances! You are a Dao Leader; if anyone's going to take the fall, it'll be the entire cultivation world!"

Seeing that Tian Nu had driven back all the fish-head guards and still wanted to continue the chase, Li Shan quickly stopped him.

"What to do?"

After a fierce battle, Tiannu finally felt a little relieved: "Let's go to the sea! Xingnie must have left a lot of good things in the palace, how can we let him go!"

Li Shan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's search it all; maybe we can find some clues."

Liu Qinghuan knew that he had not given up on finding the Immortal Flame Land, and she and Xu Lingzi, who had finished meditating, followed him.

However, this palace in Black Forest Town was probably just a place where Xing Nie occasionally stopped by. Apart from some low-level armor and weapons, there wasn't much of value there.

As for the sea creatures guarding the temple, their morale collapsed after learning of Xing Nie's death, and they posed little obstacle to the several Mahayana cultivators who had recovered to their full strength.

Li Shan looked disappointed and said, "Let's go, we need to hurry to Five-Colored Stone Mountain."

Liu Qinghuan nodded, and then heard Xu Lingzi say, "Wait a moment!"

He took out three boxes, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you three fellow Daoists for saving me this time. Without you, I would have been in grave danger. So I should fulfill my promise."

As he spoke, he brought out three boxes, each containing a bone spike, a suit of armor, and a jade bottle.

Li Shan hesitated, but since it had been agreed upon beforehand, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

Xu Lingzi first picked up the bone spur: "This spur is called the Supreme Thunderfire Spur, a treasure of the primordial world. Legend has it that after the fall of an ancient immortal god, his spine was bathed in divine thunder but did not break, and was condensed by immortal fire, making it extremely powerful."

He picked up the armor again, and with a shake, it shimmered with a clear, radiant light, like clouds and mist.

"This is the Taixu Armor, a treasure from the primordial era, forged from the pure energy of the primordial void, and possesses extremely high defensive capabilities."

"As for this jade bottle, inside is a celestial pill that can enhance cultivation, called the Jade Dew Pill."

"The three of you may choose for yourselves!"

"How could I possibly accept that, haha!" Tian Nu exclaimed, then looked at the other two: "Why don't you two choose first?"

Li Shan said, "Let Brother Liu choose first. He killed the man, so he deserves the most credit."

Liu Qinghuan didn't bother to dwell on it, but when his hand brushed past the Supreme Thunderfire Thorn, Tian Nu's expression changed slightly.

Finally, he picked up the jade bottle: "This one will do."

Li Shan said in surprise, "Why don't you think about it again? Elixirs are certainly rare, but the value of primordial treasures is clearly much higher..."

Liu Qinghuan shook his head. He already had the Heaven and Earth Mirror, as well as the Xuanyuan Sword and the Wei Su Sword, so he didn't want to change his magical artifacts for the time being.

In addition, he guessed some of Li Shan's thoughts and realized that he had never intended to take Xu Lingzi's Primordial Treasure from the beginning.

Pills that enhance cultivation at the Mahayana level and above are extremely rare and the most practical at all times.

He would be happy with just one elixir, and he could also take the opportunity to study it.

As expected, Tiannu chose the bone spike, while Li Shan put the Taixu Armor back into the box, intending to return it to Xu Lingzi later.

He was the one who organized the trip to Five-Colored Stone Mountain. The fact that the other party was willing to come was a favor to him, so it was only right that he rescued them. There was no reason for him to ask for any reward.

The group resumed their journey, and Liu Qinghuan took out a black token that was more than a foot long.

"There shouldn't be many obstacles on the road ahead, and the Five-Colored Stone Mountain is protected by a barrier that can be opened with this token."
