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

Chapter 117 Doing Good Things in the Dark Land
Star City, Star Palace Temple
"Yu Ling, is what you said true? Was Fellow Daoist Lin from the Miaoyin Sect of Holy Demon Island really taken away by the ghost fog?"

Even the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars found it hard to believe the information reported by Ling Yulin herself.

"I can be sure that it is definitely the great elder of Miaoyin Sect. After much inquiry, I found out that this fellow Daoist Lin from Miaoyin Sect was mainly trying to perform the resurrection technique to save a concubine's sister..."

Afterwards, Ling Yulin told the story of the grudge between the sisters Yuan Yao and Yanli and the young master of Qingyang Sect, as well as what happened to Zhou Yuan, how she was taken in as a concubine by Lin Shou, how she took the soul-nourishing wood from Xutian Palace, and how she finally used the resurrection technique to revive Yanli but was taken away by the ghost fog.

Even the Twin Saints of Tianxing found it incredible, but they believed that Ling Yuling would never tell them unless she was absolutely sure and confirmed again and again that there was no mistake.

"This fellow Daoist Lin is a man who values ​​friendship. But if this happens, I'm afraid the Holy Demon Island will have to change its owner."

After hearing Ling Yuling's words, Wen Qing felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

"You mean Man Huzi? We are still unsure whether the Great Elder of Miaoyin Sect is alive or dead. Does Man Huzi dare to occupy the Holy Demon Island? This is impossible, right?"

Ling Xiaofeng knew Man Hu Zi quite well. Although he was extremely reckless, he was not stupid. Otherwise, he would not have become the second best in the magic world.

He was suppressed by the Six Paths Supreme Saint before, and now he is suppressed by Lin Shou.

"Faced with the many treasures left by the Miaoyin Sect's Grand Elder, Fellow Daoist Lin, how could Barbarian Beard hold back? Besides, over the years, have you ever heard of anyone escaping from the ghost fog?"

Wen Qing shook her head slightly.

"But this fellow Daoist Lin from Miaoyin Sect is not comparable to an ordinary cultivator. With his magical powers, it might be possible. I always feel uneasy. I feel that he should not be trapped in the ghost fog."

Ling Xiaofeng shook his head to deny Wen Qing's guess.

"How long do you want to wait, my husband?"

Wen Qing naturally knew Ling Xiaofeng's concerns. If anything went wrong, the entire Star Palace would be doomed.

"Mother, father, does my child have something to say?"

Seeing her parents' reaction, Ling Yuling hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Yuling, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Wen Qing smiled sweetly.

"I want to ask, since the great elder of Miaoyin Sect, Senior Lin, is gone, and the Six Paths Supreme Saint was also killed by him, the only trouble now is Aunt Wan San of Wanfa Sect. But this crazy woman was beaten by Senior Lin so much that she dared not leave Wanfa Sect at all. Even if she knew that Lin Shou was taken away by the ghost fog, she probably would not dare to leave Wanfa Sect for a while. So, what are you worried about?" Ling Yuling's pretty face was full of confusion.

Ling Yuling could naturally understand why she was afraid of Lin Shou’s existence in the past, but now that Lin Shou had been taken away by the ghost fog, what was there to be afraid of?
"The skills and treasures left by Fellow Daoist Lin of Miaoyin Sect are even more valuable than the Xutian Cauldron. If they are obtained by Man Huzi and others and they succeed in practicing, they may become the next Fellow Daoist Lin. How will we fight against them then? After all, Man Huzi and others are not Fellow Daoist Lin of Miaoyin Sect."

"The Anti-Star Alliance of both good and evil has always existed in secret. If we let them seize the opportunity, they will definitely not mind overthrowing the entire Star Palace. How will we respond then?"

"Yuling, can you understand?"

Wen Qing explained earnestly.

"I understand, but I think that Senior Lin, the Great Elder of Miaoyin Sect, will not get into trouble so easily. He may be back soon. We should not act rashly. After all, even if Man Huzi and others really got Senior Lin's skills, magical powers, and treasures, they still need enough time to practice. Besides, the treasures are fine, but I don't think Man Huzi and others can successfully practice Senior Lin's skills and magical powers. Otherwise, how could there be only one Senior Lin in all these years."

"Therefore, I think it is better not to act rashly and just wait and see what happens."

"Most importantly, will Man Huzi really take action against the Miaoyin Sect of the Holy Demon Island and replace it?"

"Besides, didn't Senior Lin leave any means for the Miaoyin Sect's leader to check and control Man Huzi and others?"

Ling Yuling asked several questions in a row, which made Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng feel quite relieved.

"Yuling, what you said is quite right. Let's just wait and see what happens! Anyway, as long as there are no Fellow Daoist Lin from Miaoyin Sect, Man Huzi, Wan Sangu and the like, we have nothing to be afraid of."

Wen Qing also agreed with what Ling Yulin said.

"Ok!"

……

Holy Demon Island, Miaoyin Gate

In the meeting hall, Zhou Yuan's pretty face was ashen as she stared at the barbarian bearded man below with her beautiful eyes, and she asked in a cold voice,

"Grand Elder, what do you mean? Are you planning to take over as soon as my husband leaves?"

"Master, you are joking. I am just worried that Wan Sangu of the Wanfa Sect, that crazy woman, will take advantage of the absence of the Great Elder to come and seek revenge. By then, no one in the entire Holy Demon Island will be able to stop that crazy woman except me. Although I am already at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and have even taken the Heaven-Reinforcing Pill, I am still not strong enough. So, I want to ask the Master if the Great Elder has left behind any valuable treasures, techniques, or magical powers. Wouldn't it be better for me to use them?"

The bearded man smiled and spoke righteously and confidently as he stated his request.

"My husband did not leave any valuable treasures behind. If the Grand Elder is worried about the revenge of Wan Sangu of the Wanfa Sect, just leave the Miaoyin Sect of the Holy Demon Island. I will not stop him at all."

Zhou Yuan shook her head slightly and denied it.
"Master, you are joking. The Great Elder has deep feelings for me. How could I possibly leave the Miaoyin Sect of the Holy Demon Island? If not, forget it. I'll take my leave. When that crazy woman, Wan Sangu from the Wanfa Sect, arrives, Master, just remember to tell me. I will try my best to stop her."

Man Huzi sighed, then stood up and said goodbye.

After Man Huzi left, Mrs. Wen, who had been silent all the time, spoke softly.

"Sister, was my husband really sucked away by the ghost fog?"

"Well! I didn't expect that the ghost fog would appear, and my husband couldn't resist it."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and sighed.

"Without her husband, this barbarian couldn't hold back. I'm afraid the same is true for others."

Madam Wen said with a rather unpleasant expression,

"Sister is right. I'm afraid I can only rely on you now."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan also agreed.

"It's difficult. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to deal with a barbarian bearded man, not to mention that, as he said, the crazy woman Wan Sangu from the Wanfa Sect might come to seek revenge at any time. That would be the biggest trouble."

Mrs. Wen smiled bitterly.

"I just wonder how my husband is doing? With his magical powers, I'm sure nothing will happen to him. And his reputation can still be a deterrent for a while."

Zhou Yuan could only hope that Lin Shou would come back quickly to avoid any major incidents.

……

Here, on a strange land that was red like blood, a dozen strong men and women in gray clothes, holding bone spears, were sneaking towards a hill-like high ground and slowly surrounding it. On the top of this high ground, there were several monsters with green bodies and short necks, curled up and sleeping there.

This is a Yin beast called "Bichan Beast". It is not big in size and has bumps all over its body.

Although they look ugly, like an enlarged giant toad, they are one of the only few beasts in this dark land that are not poisonous and can be eaten by humans.

They came here to hunt these green toad beasts in order to obtain food.

They were completely different from ordinary people. Not only were their movements extremely agile, but they also made no sound.
However, just when they were about to close the encirclement completely, one of the green toad beasts suddenly opened its pair of red eyes and spotted them at once.

In an instant, the human race issued a "take action" signal, and the Green Toad Beasts issued a warning signal.

Of course, following closely behind were a dozen bone spears shining with white light, whizzing towards these green toad beasts.

Even though most of the green toad beasts jumped up, they were still pierced by the spears and fell down. Only two of the most agile green toad beasts escaped this disaster.

It's not that they were completely uninjured, but because they dodged in time, the spears just grazed them.

Among the Yin beasts, the Green Toad Beast is almost the lowest type. Apart from being able to spit out a few breaths of Yin Qi, it has almost no sharp means of attack. However, corresponding to this, the speed of these Yin beasts' jumping and escaping is very fast, which is very powerful.

At the same time, in order to avenge their companion, the two green toad beasts opened their mouths and fiercely shot out two black Yin Qi balls the size of their heads. Then they kicked their hind legs and jumped 70 to 80 feet high, directly escaping from the human encirclement.

Even though others threw out spare bone spears, unfortunately they were too slow and could not reach the two green toad beasts.

After a few jumps, the two green toad beasts rushed into a pile of strange rocks not far away. Suddenly, a green light flashed, and the two green toad beasts fell straight down from the air without a sound, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The green blood instantly dyed the ground red.

This scene shocked the other human beings. Then, two figures appeared side by side, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful.

"I rashly killed these two green toad beasts, I hope you can forgive me. We were sucked here by the ghost fog, I wonder if we can ask you for a place to stay for a while?"

Lin Shou smiled slightly and made a request.

"In return, these two green toad beasts will be yours."

"really?"

The leading man said in disbelief.

"Of course it is true. You can take it away. We don't need to eat this green toad beast." Lin Shou nodded.

"Okay, thank you both very much. As for where to stay, you can just follow us later."

The leading man agreed.

"Well, thank you."

Lin Shou smiled slightly and thanked him.

"Hey, you outsiders are really literary. But if you want to leave, forget it."

The leading man said again.

"maybe!"

Hearing this, Lin Shou remained silent.

If it weren't for the good things in this dark place, Lin Shou wouldn't have stayed for long.

In fact, only by entering the Yin and Ming Land and possessing sufficient strength can one know how many good things there are in the Yin and Ming Land. In addition to Yin and Ming Water and Nether Beast Soul Crystals, there are also many heavenly and earthly elixirs containing Yin Qi, each of which is calculated in tens of thousands of years. If it were in the outside world, countless cultivators who practiced Yin attribute magic techniques would fight to the death for it.

Each one can increase one's cultivation, vital energy and magical power, or prolong one's lifespan by several decades.

And these heavenly and earthly elixirs. Not everyone can take them away. It requires a strong enough divine consciousness to discover them. Otherwise, it is impossible to discover or detect them. Moreover, there are powerful underworld beasts guarding them. And these underworld beasts, except for Lin Shou, are no match for even the Weeping Soul Beast. They are equivalent to Jindan stage cultivators, or even Yuanying stage cultivators. If they will not leave the territory, there will probably be no human beings in the entire Yinming Land.

Therefore, these heavenly and earthly elixirs also belonged to Lin Shou. Of course, Yanli, who had been resurrected, also gained a lot of benefits. Her physique had been transformed into a pure yin body, which was equivalent to a strong physique of a heavenly spiritual root.

Therefore, these elixir of heaven and earth containing Yin energy naturally belong to Yanli alone.

Afterwards, Lin Shou and Yanli followed the villagers of the Yinming Land back to the village.

This village was obviously much smaller than the other villages they had stayed in before.

Although it was also protected by a stone wall, this wall was only 100 to 150 meters high and was in tatters in many places, obviously not repaired. Judging from the size of the village, there were only about a hundred people living here, and the population was pitifully small.

In response to this, Lin Shou and Yanli treated the village as they did with other villages. They repaired the village as soon as possible, and then set up the formation. What the formation needed was not spirit stones, but soul stones of underworld beasts.

As for how long the formation can last, as long as there are no major accidents, it would not be difficult for it to last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

After all, those powerful underworld beasts in the underworld will never leave their territory, and the damage caused by other underworld beasts to the formation is minimal. As long as there are enough soul stones, it will not be a problem.

As for repairing the formation, Lin Shou also left a plan, and the materials can be obtained locally, such as the bones of the underworld beasts and the strange minerals that Lin Shou found along the way.

The most important thing is that Lin Shou knows that this dark land will not last long. By then, it will be unknown whether the human race in the dark land will live or die.

Lin Shou just did his best and left the rest to fate.

Even so, Lin Shou and Yanli were deeply grateful to the villagers.

Because they knew that the danger in the village would be reduced in the future.

In addition to the formation, Lin Shou also left behind a lot of magic tools. After the improvement, they only need soul stones to activate, even mortals can do it. As for the power! It is completely enough to deal with ordinary underworld beasts.

"Master has left so many good things for them. I hope they can survive longer in this dark place!"

Yanli couldn't help but sigh.

"Young Master, is there really no way you can use the teleportation array to take them all away?"
Yanli asked again.

"How is this possible? There are too many things involved. It's impossible."

Lin Shou shook his head.
