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

Chapter 122 Nangong Wan Condenses Yuanying

Wen Qing naturally did not tell Ling Xiaofeng about helping Lin Shou with his cultivation. He just chose to practice in seclusion alone on the grounds that he had some insights.

Ling Xiaofeng's mind was entirely on the Yuanci Divine Light, so naturally he didn't think or ask too much.

……

After everything was explained to the Miaoyin Sect of the Holy Demon Island, Lin Shou returned to the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World through the teleportation array.

Lin Shou's departure from the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World did not cause any impact on the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World. However, it was still different from what he remembered.

That is, Huangfeng Valley, one of the seven sects in Yue State, joined Guiling Sect. Now, with the help and support of Guiling Sect, Huangfeng Valley has become the largest sect in Yue State.

Of course, to put it nicely, it is help and support, but to put it bluntly, it is control.

Especially now that Huangfeng Valley is in a period of transition, as long as the old monster Linghu dies, the entire Huangfeng Valley will completely lose the qualification to escape with the Guiling Sect.

It was completely controlled and annexed by the Ghost Spirit Sect, and was eventually removed from the Tiannan immortal cultivation world and became a part of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

There were also many immortal cultivation families in Huangfeng Valley, and they joined the Guiling Sect together with Huangfeng Valley. Instead, they chose to flee to other countries with the other sects and rely on other sects.

For example, the Chen family, once one of the three major families in Huangfeng Valley, and the Nie family where Nie Ying belonged, both chose sects in other countries.

It was not the Nine Nations Alliance, but the Heavenly Dao Alliance. This force still appeared, and it was the most powerful alliance in the entire Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.
However, just like in the original plot, it is too loose. As long as the good and evil forces do not provoke the Tiandao League, the Tiandao League will not choose to provoke the good and evil forces.

Coupled with the threat from the Mulan clan and the mediation of the Nine-Nation Alliance, the entire Tiannan cultivation world has been relatively calm over the years, with no major incidents.

There is also peace between the various forces.

Huangfeng Valley in Taiyue Mountains of Yue State

Hongyun Peak is the place where the first Jindan stage cultivator of Huangfeng Valley and Hongfu Cave is located. The spiritual energy of the entire mountain is high enough to rank among the top in the Taiyue Mountains.

"Failed again!"

Inside the cave, Hongfu muttered to herself with an extremely gloomy expression.

She had already reached the great perfection of the late Jindan stage. This was her third attempt to break through the bottleneck of the Yuanying stage, but she failed every time.

Most importantly, there was absolutely no sign of the pill being broken.

And this is something to be extremely thankful for.

After all, if she failed to condense the Nascent Soul by breaking the Pill, she would have to start practicing from scratch again if she wanted to condense the Nascent Soul.

But with her current lifespan, it is simply impossible.

She only has more than ten years left to live.

It is totally impossible for her to practice from scratch, but she is the only cultivator in the entire Huangfeng Valley who has reached the late stage of Jindan and the only one who has the possibility of condensing Nascent Soul.

If she had not condensed her Nascent Soul, and waited until the old monster Linghu passed away decades later, the Huangfeng Valley would have been in danger of being swallowed up by the Guiling Sect.

This was difficult for her to accept, even though by that time, she would have already passed away.

……

Suddenly, just when Hongfu was about to leave the cave to gain some experience, a beam of fire rushed into her cave.

The light of the fire was captured by a sound transmission talisman.

When his spiritual consciousness invaded it to check the contents, his face changed slightly and he said in surprise.

"He actually came back and even dared to come to the sect."

As she spoke, Hong Fu opened the formation barrier outside the cave's stone door. Then, she saw Lin Shou.

"You...you suddenly reached the Nascent Soul stage?"

When Hong Fu saw Lin Shou and sensed Lin Shou's aura, she was so frightened that she blurted out

"Otherwise, how would I dare to come back?"

Seeing this, Lin Shou said with a smug look on his face.

Seeing Lin Shou's expression, Hong Fu's face became complicated. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Shou spoke first.

"Senior Sister Hongfu, you and I can just call each other our peers."

"Okay, I'm sorry, Junior Brother Lin."

Hearing this, Hongfu breathed a sigh of relief and then called out.

"You are too polite, Senior Sister. Wouldn't you like me to come in and sit down?"

Seeing this, Lin Shou chuckled and said.

"Junior Brother Lin, please come in."

After hearing Lin Shou's words, Hong Fu finally reacted and quickly invited him.

Of course, her mood at this moment was extremely complicated. She had been practicing for more than 500 years but had not yet condensed her Nascent Soul and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, but one of her nephews was already a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With this calculation, it only took Lin Shou less than two hundred years to condense his Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Looking at the entire Tiannan cultivation world over the past tens of thousands of years, he can be said to be the number one person.

If Linghu knew about this, I wonder how much he would regret what he did.

With extremely complicated feelings, Hongfu brought Lin Shou to the hall of the cave.

"Junior Brother Lin, please have some tea. This is a spiritual tea that I have treasured for a long time. In the entire sect, only Senior Uncle Linghu will be given some to entertain him when he comes."

Hong Fu personally made a cup of spiritual tea for Lin Shou, handed it to him and said meaningfully.

"Senior Sister Hongfu, there is no need to test me. I am not coming back this time with the intention of returning to the sect. Since I left that year, I have never thought of coming back."

Lin Shou took the spiritual tea and said expressionlessly.

"I can't say much about what happened back then. Since Junior Brother Lin doesn't want to come back, there's nothing much to say. But Junior Uncle Linghu doesn't have much time left. If there are no other Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, sooner or later the Ghost Spirit Sect will completely swallow it up."

Hearing this, Hongfu said with a wry smile.

"This has nothing to do with me. I hope Senior Sister Hongfu understands."

Lin Shou took a sip of tea and spoke in a very calm tone.

"I came back this time just to see my senior sister and a few old friends. I don't have any thoughts on other things."

"I understand, but I didn't expect that Junior Brother could successfully condense his Nascent Soul before he was 200 years old. Looking at the entire Tiannan cultivation world for tens of thousands of years, I'm afraid no one can do it. It's really enviable. Maybe one day, Junior Brother can break through the Spiritualization Stage and ascend to the Spirit Realm."

Hong Fu nodded slightly and said with envy on her face.

After all, what she said was indeed true. She condensed her Nascent Soul at less than 200 years old. Looking at the tens of thousands of years of cultivation history of the Tiannan cultivation world, no one could compare to her.

It is said that one can advance to the God Transformation Stage, and ascend to the spiritual world is not impossible.

"Let's hope so! I just got a little chance."

Lin Shou shook his head and said nothing.

"Senior Sister should be about to condense her Nascent Soul, right?"

Lin Shou said again.

"Condensing the Nascent Soul is already an impossible thing for me."

Hearing Lin Shou's question, Hong Fu's face was full of bitterness. She sighed softly and said.

"That's not necessarily true. Let's give this pill to Senior Sister!"

Seeing this, Lin Shou took out a jade box with a talisman attached to it and handed it to Hong Fu.

"This is?"

Seeing the jade box handed over by Lin Shou, Hong Fu showed a look of surprise and anticipation on her face and asked.

"Nine-bend Elixir."

As Lin Shou uttered the four words "Nine-bend Elixir", the surprise and anticipation on Hongfu's face turned into shock and disbelief.

What is the "Nine-bend Elixir"? As a cultivator who has reached the great perfection in the late Jindan stage, Hong Fu knows it very well.

This is the coveted elixir for all cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the late Jindan stage.

"This... this... this is so precious. I... I... thank you so much, Junior Brother."

It took Hong Fu a full quarter of an hour to come back to her senses from her shock and surprise. She then stood up stutteringly, bowed solemnly to Lin Shou, and thanked him with gratitude.

"You are too polite, Senior Sister. This can be regarded as repaying the favor you did me. From now on, I will have no relationship with the sect. I hope you will not tell anyone else about this."

Lin Shou shook his head, still in a calm tone, and asked.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother. I will definitely not tell anyone about this."

Hong Fu nodded and agreed. She also understood why Lin Shou was able to condense his Nascent Soul and advance to the Nascent Soul stage in less than two hundred years. The "Nine-bend Elixir" must have played a huge role in this.

With this wild elixir, plus Lin Shou's amazing talent, there is a very high chance that he can condense his Nascent Soul in less than two hundred years.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Hongfu. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Lin Shou stood up and smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother, don't you plan to go see Junior Brother Lei?"

Seeing this, Hongfu did not try to persuade him to stay, but instead reminded him.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I will go to see Master later."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

"Okay, then I won't keep you any longer, Junior Brother."

Hearing this, Hongfu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was unable to persuade Lin Shou.

Maybe, Master Lei Wanhe can do it.

"Well! Goodbye, I wish Senior Sister to condense her Nascent Soul soon."

Lin Shou chuckled.

"Then I'll borrow your good words, Junior Brother."

Hongfu also smiled sweetly.

Afterwards, he stood up and personally escorted Lin Shou out of the cave.

After Lin Shou left her cave, he sighed softly and looked at the jade box in his hand.

“I hope it will be successful this time!”

After saying this, he opened all the formation restrictions in the entire cave, and then continued to practice in seclusion to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

……

Although Lei Wanhe is already a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, he is still a long way from reaching the great perfection of the late Jindan stage.

He is also the person in the entire Huangfeng Valley who is most likely to condense the Nascent Soul, besides Hong Fu.

Of course, in the original plot, the Nascent Soul was not condensed in the end.

But this time, it’s not necessarily the case.

……

Outside Lei Wanhe Cave
"Master, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Lin Shou naturally still had some feelings for Lei Wanhe, his cheap master, so he still called him master as a disciple.

"You... have already condensed your Nascent Soul?"

Lei Wanhe never expected that his disciple who had been missing for many years had actually surpassed him and condensed his Nascent Soul.

For a moment, Lei Wanhe actually felt like he was dreaming.

"Yes, I have condensed my Nascent Soul and become a Nascent Soul cultivator. Otherwise, I would not dare to come back."

Lin Shou smiled slightly and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Then...then there is no need to call me Master."

After hearing the accurate answer from Lin Shou, Lei Wanhe finally came back to his senses from his shock after a long time and smiled bitterly.

"Master, you are joking. No matter what, you and I are master and disciple. The main reason I came here this time is to give Master some gifts."

Lin Shou chuckled and handed a storage bag to Lei Wanhe.

"This is?"

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe was shocked but also quite moved.

"This is part of what I have gained over the years, so I am giving it to you, Master."

Lin Shou explained.

"Then I won't be polite. If you don't mind, why don't you come in and sit down first!"

Hearing this, Lei Wanhe felt warm in his heart, and then he remembered to invite Lin Shou to come into the cave and sit down.

"No, I have other things to do, so I won't go in and sit down. Goodbye."

Seeing this, Lin Shou shook his head and refused directly.

After all, Lei Wanhe and Hong Fu are different. They still have a master-disciple relationship after all.

If Lei Wanhe asked for help, Lin Shou would find it difficult to refuse, so he could only leave and could not stay any longer.

"You still hate Master Linghu? Right?"

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe said directly.

"Uncle Linghu had no choice in what happened back then. I am not asking you to forgive him, but I just hope you don't hate the entire sect."

Lei Wanhe said with a pleading look on his face.

"Of course, Master, don't worry. I don't hate anyone."

Hearing this, Lin Shou nodded and agreed, which made Lei Wanhe feel relieved.

"By the way, do you know something?"

Suddenly, Lei Wanhe spoke again.

"What's the matter, Master? Just tell me directly."

Lin Shou asked.

"Now, Fairy Nangong of the Yanyue Sect in the Northern Liang Kingdom of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance has condensed her Nascent Soul. In half a year, it will be her Nascent Soul Ceremony. If you have time, you can go and take a look."

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe spoke.

"Nangong Wan, she has also condensed her Nascent Soul now."

Lin Shou said in surprise.

He really didn't know about this news. After all, he returned to Huangfeng Valley immediately and didn't ask for more information.

"Yes! However, the previous Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect has passed away. The current Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect is also a Yuanyingying cultivator, but he has a strange personality, so you have to be careful."

Lei Wanhe reminded again.

After all, in his eyes, Lin Shou had just condensed his Nascent Soul and returned to Huangfeng Valley.

Therefore, one must be careful when going to Yanyue Sect.

So as not to offend the current Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect.

"Disciple understands, Master, don't worry."

Lin Shou nodded and thanked him.

"Ah."

Lei Wanhe also nodded slightly and said nothing more.

"I'm leaving, Master. Please take care."

After saying this, Lin Shou turned into a beam of light and left.

Seeing this, Lei Wanhe just sighed and turned back to his cave.

He did not intend to tell Old Monster Linghu about Lin Shou's return.

As for the relationship between Nangong Wan and Lin Shou, he knew something about it.

The two of them almost became Taoist companions in the past, and in the past few years, Nangong Wan had been asking him if he had any news about Lin Shou.

Needless to say, the relationship between the two is very close.

Now that both of them are Nascent Soul cultivators, it is almost time for them to become Taoist companions. This is also the reason why Lin Shou should be careful of the current Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect.

After all, this marriage proposal! You have to be careful after all.

Lin Shou had no idea what Lei Wanhe was thinking. He was now on his way to Beiliang Kingdom.

Nangong Wan's condensation of her Nascent Soul was also a good thing for him.
