Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 108 Hardworking Barbarian Beard
For Lin Shou, the illusion in the strange black palace was completely useless and he passed through it easily.

The only thing to worry about is whether Xin Ruyin, Yuan Yao and other girls can make it across.

If you can't get through, you won't be able to enter the inner hall.

Of course, for Lin Shou, the only purpose of the women entering the inner hall was to take away a treasure from the inner hall with the help of the Xutian Remnant Map. This was also their original plan.

And now is the time to end it, as for Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous monks.

After they passed the test, Lin Shou, who had been waiting outside the inner hall for a long time, spoke directly.

"Master Wan, Fellow Daoist Tian Wuzi, do you have any spirit beasts or spirit insects that can take the Xu Tian Ding? If so, please hand them all over to me."

After saying this, Lin Shou directly extended his hand to Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and the old farmer.

His tone was so righteous, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, there was no change at all, Wan Tianming and Tian Wuzi couldn't help but twitch their faces a few times, but they had to put on a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are joking. You are already leaving my golden silkworm. There are still spiritual insects and spiritual beasts there that can take the Xutian Ding. I just don't want to come here in vain, so I plan to exchange for a few treasures from the inner hall, so that this trip will be worthwhile."

There is no way. Now they are in the inner hall. Even if Lin Shou attacks them, he doesn’t need to consider the Star Palace.

Although you don't need to be concerned about this when you are in the outer hall, you still have to give them some face.

But there is no need for this in the inner hall.

Therefore, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and the other three knew very well that they were in danger, so it was better not to provoke Lin Shou, lest they would bring disaster upon themselves.

When Lin Shou saw the three righteous people including Wan Tianming and Tian Wuzi's attitude, he raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.

Man Huzi, Qing Yi Jushi, Madam Wen, Zhou Yuan and other Nascent Soul cultivators also passed the assessment and came here.

"Oh, I didn't expect Sect Master Wan and the others to be so quick? Great Elder, Sect Master, do you want to take action and finish them off here?"

Barbarian Beard grinned and said murderously.

His words also made Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous monks change their expressions. They gathered together, prepared for battle, and stared at Man Huzi and Lin Shou with defensive expressions.

Lin Shou, in particular, was able to issue orders. With just one word, they might all be buried in the Xutian Palace.

And over the years, there has not been any Nascent Soul cultivators who have died in Xutian Palace. Most of them are Jindan stage cultivators or late foundation building stage cultivators.

If they were to die there, the Miaoyin Sect, the Wanfa Sect, and even the entire Chaos Star Sea, the righteous and evil sects might go to war.

You know, the Holy Demon Island occupied by Lin Shou is the number one holy place of the demon world. Together with the supreme elder Man Huzi, in some ways, he has replaced the Six Paths Saint and become the number one figure in the demon world of the Chaos Star Sea.

It belongs to the evil forces, but no one talks about it openly.

"Haha! Brother Man, you are joking. We have some friendship with Sect Master Wan. The golden silkworm on my body was given to me by Sect Master Wan. How can we fight and kill here? It's not good. Moreover, Sect Master Wan has already said that their target is not Xu Tian Ding. If that's the case, there is no need to take action. So as not to hurt the relationship."

Lin Shou laughed and said something that made Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous monks breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's right, that's right, Fellow Daoist Lin is absolutely right. We have entered this inner hall and have decided not to have any interest in this Xutian Ding. Brother Man, don't worry."

Hearing this, Wan Tianming quickly agreed.

He had witnessed Lin Shou's strength and supernatural powers with his own eyes. Even his elder, Wan Sangu, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, was defeated after only ten moves. It was conceivable that it would be even more impossible for him.

The little thoughts in his mind were extinguished at once, and he no longer dared to think of Xu Tianding.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Xu Tian Ding already has an owner.

Now Wan Tianming can only hope that Lin Shou has bad luck and cannot get the Xutian Ding.

In this way, only after Lin Shou passes away or ascends to the spiritual world, they will have a chance on the righteous path.

Although he gave the golden silkworm to Lin Shou, he still left some silkworm eggs, and he still planned to seize the Xu Tian Ding in the future.

But the prerequisite is that Lin Shou cannot get the Xutian Ding this time, although the hope is not great.

"Okay, let's do as the Great Elder says and let them go for now."

Man Huzi laughed loudly, with a bit of a fox-taking-advantage-of-the-tiger flavor, but even so, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous cultivators did not dare to say anything more.

Since Lin Shou was here, it was not their turn to talk nonsense or say anything more.

As for refutation, I dare not do it anymore.

Just like that, the scene fell into silence again, and Lin Shou, Zhou Yuan, Madam Wen and others continued to wait for Xin Ruyin, Yuan Yao, Fairy Zi Ling and other Jindan stage cultivators. They had not passed the assessment yet, and they didn't know what they would gain.

But Lin Shou's reward was not great, just a bottle of elixir, which was helpful in increasing the mana of Yuanying cultivators, but only limited to Yuanying early stage cultivators. It was really not very useful to Lin Shou.

Not long after, Xin Ruyin, Fairy Zi Ling, Yuan Yao and others appeared, and Lin Shou finally felt relieved.

He did not ask the girls about their gains, but just asked them to wait patiently for the inner hall to open.

After more than an hour, a violent shaking suddenly came from the ground.

The huge stone door of the inner hall slowly rose, revealing the bluestone passage inside.

From a distance, this passage seems extremely tall and wide.

When the stone door of the inner hall was opened wide, the teleportation array with a faint white light in the middle shrank and became dim.

"Great Elder, it looks like those two guys from Xinggong won't be coming. Let's go in! It's important to take the Xutian Ding."

Barbarian Beard laughed.

"Okay, let's go in then!"

Hearing this, Lin Shou smiled slightly and nodded.

Then, Man Huzi led the way, and Lin Shou and others followed closely behind.

As for Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous cultivators, their expressions were gloomy.

"Brother Wan, do we still want to go in? The Void Heaven Cauldron will most likely fall into his hands. By then, the power of the Demonic Path will surely increase greatly."

Tian Wuzi said with an extremely ugly expression.

"We have to go in, otherwise, our trip would be in vain. Besides, even if the power of the demons increases, the ones who should be worried are the two guys in Xinggong, not us."

Wan Tianming snorted coldly and said.

Obviously, one could have anticipated how much of a headache the Twin Saints of the Star Palace would have after learning that Lin Shou had obtained the Xu Tian Ding.

However, these have nothing to do with him anymore.

Afterwards, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous monks entered the passage.

After they entered, the two white-robed elders from Xinggong also appeared on the teleportation array. "What should we do? If this continues, the Xutian Ding will definitely fall into his hands."

The kind-looking old man said worriedly.

"What should we do? With his magical power, even if the two Saint Lords come in person, it will be useless. We should just watch quietly!"

Another Star Palace elder looked helpless and said resignedly.

Hearing this, the kind-looking old man could only sigh and nodded.

……

At the same time, Lin Shou, Xin Ruyin, Zhou Yuan and others were following Man Huzi and Qing Yi Jushi, the two people who had entered the inner hall of Xutian Palace last time, walking in a maze-like place with criss-crossing bluestone passages, tall, solid and thick walls, and a stone door carved with strange runes at every intersection.

These stone doors are of the same size, more than ten feet long and wide, in a square shape. Sometimes they face south, sometimes they face north, and some are opened in the east-west direction. There seems to be no pattern to be found, but they all flash with a faint white light, and it is obvious that some kind of restriction has been cast on them.

Along the way, they passed through seven or eight stone doors, which was enough to prove that there were quite a few of them.

Just then, after passing another intersection, a stone door appeared in the direction facing the crowd.

However, there was a difference. The runes and other reliefs on it were dim and without any brilliance, as if the restriction had been broken.

Seeing this, Qing Yi Jushi explained.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, this proves that someone has used the incomplete map of Xutian to take the treasures from this stone gate. Once the treasures are taken away, you will be automatically teleported out of Xutian Palace. So, ladies, you have to think carefully. Of course, no one knows what the treasures are, so it doesn't really make much difference whether you choose them or not."

"Okay, I know this."

After listening to Mr. Qing Yi's explanation, Lin Shou nodded.

"Ok!"

As for Xin Ruyin, Zhou Yuan, and Fairy Zi Ling, they also nodded their heads, thinking about which stone gate to choose to get the treasure next.

However, before that, they still planned to follow Lin Shou and other Nascent Soul cultivators to see the Xu Tian Ding first.

As for taking the treasure, you can wait until you get the Xutian Ding and then return to take the treasure. It does not mean that you cannot return.

The only difference is Yuan Yao. She needs to get the Soul-Nourishing Wood with Lin Shou to save Yanli.

Lin Shou had thought about getting the Soul-Nourishing Wood from other places in the Chaos Star Sea, but he had always returned empty-handed. There was no news at all, proving that the Soul-Nourishing Wood was only found in the Xutian Palace in the entire Chaos Star Sea.

Lin Shou was extremely helpless about this, otherwise he would have rescued Yanli long ago.

There is no need to bring Yuan Yao into Xutian Palace. Compared with other people, Yuan Yao's realm and strength are still far behind.

But it is no longer a problem now. We just need to wait until we take away the Xutian Ding, and then we can go find the Soul-Nourishing Tree.

Compared to the Xu Tian Ding, the Soul Nourishing Wood is much easier to find.

Therefore, Lin Shou and Yuan Yao were not too worried about this.

Of course, at this moment, Wan Tianming, Tian Wuzi and other righteous cultivators were on another road, seemingly with other purposes, and had no intention of using the Xutian Incomplete Map to take the treasure and leave.

……

After passing through a few more stone doors, a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard from the opposite side, and then this sound rang out one after another, as if something huge was approaching.

Hearing the voice, Man Huzi smiled and showed a hint of excitement. Then, a golden light flashed on his body, and a layer of shiny golden scales suddenly appeared all over his body. He had already started to use the Totian Magic Art.

The next moment, he said, "Leave it to me," and then turned into a stream of golden light and rushed over.

Then, there was a sudden loud whirring sound of punches and kicks in the distance, mixed with the "clang" sound of metal colliding, which was extremely harsh!
Not long after, the satisfied Barbarian Beard came out with a smile on his face and said.

"Let's go! It's all settled."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother."

Seeing this, Lin Shou chuckled.

"Haha! What's the big deal? The puppet guards on the first floor can no longer pose any threat to us. We can just use them to move around and warm up."

Man Huzi laughed loudly, seeming to not care about the matter at all.

In response, Lin Shou just smiled slightly and continued to move forward. Then, he saw the first level of puppet guards mentioned by Man Huzi.

However, they had all been broken into pieces of silver unknown metal. In addition, there was half a broken golden wolf head, several thick black and dull blades, and some other miscellaneous strange things.

"Ruyin, put them away!"

Seeing this, Lin Shou spoke.

"Great Elder, these things are completely useless. Someone has already taken them out for experimentation. They are useless whether they are used to refine magical instruments, magic weapons or other things."

Hearing this, Man Huzi explained casually.

"That's not necessarily the case."

Lin Shou continued smiling.

Seeing this, Man Huzi didn't say anything more and let Xin Ruyin put all the things on the ground into the storage bag.

“Is there really any use for it?”

Man Huzi and Mr. Qingyi looked at each other and muttered in their hearts at the same time.

As for the two people's thoughts, Lin Shou naturally didn't bother to pay attention.

Afterwards, everyone continued to move forward. The puppet guards on the first level had no effect on Man Huzi and Qing Yi Jushi, and they were easily dealt with by the two.

It also made it easy for everyone to reach the second floor and see the difficult "snake-headed puppet" mentioned by Master Qing Yi.

The mere presence of this "snake-headed puppet" as the queen made Xin Ruyin, Yuan Yao and other girls feel sick.

Not only does it have two slender green-red snake heads, it also has four arms placed in front and back of its body, and its body is covered with pieces of black scales.

The two front hands held two short green spears, and the two back hands held shiny black whips covered with sharp barbs, emitting a grayish-white aura.

As soon as they saw Lin Shou, Man Huzi and his group turned into a beam of black light and rushed towards them without saying a word. Their movements were surprisingly agile and fast.

Seeing this, Man Huzi and Qing Yi Jushi naturally rushed forward first.

After all, it was not Lin Shou's turn to do this kind of thing himself, and Xin Ruyin, Yuan Yao, Zhou Yuan, and Madam Wen's daughters would not easily take action. So it could only be left to the two of them. In addition, Man Huzi's "Tianzhu Magic Skill" was most suitable for this situation, so they were the most suitable candidates.

Lin Shou was simply too lazy to take action. His target was the Xu Tian Ding. As for the troubles along the way, he left them all to Man Hu Zi.
