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

Chapter 124 Pretending to be a Couple with Nangong Wan
Lin Shou was not worried at all whether the cold-blooded woman from Yanyue Sect's Great Elder would be tempted by money.

After all, with his strength, even if the cold-blooded Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect was tempted by money, he could just push Nangong Wan to the position of Grand Elder of Yanyue Sect.

Moreover, this was also Nangong Wan's initiative, so he naturally would not refuse. Anyway, these materials needed to be handed over to a sect for processing, and it would be quite troublesome for him to exchange them for spirit stones.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen to come to Yanyue Sect and join it.

It was equivalent to taking out so many monster materials in one breath, and Lin Shou was so calm. Even Nangong Wan and the cold-hearted Great Elder of Yanyue Sect, who were prepared, were stunned.

It took a long time for them to come back to their senses. The two girls looked at each other, but no one asked Lin Shou where he got so many monster materials.

"Don't worry, Junior Brother Lin. I will help you deal with these monster materials as soon as possible. I will hand the spirit stones to you."

"This time Junior Sister Nangong's Nascent Soul Ceremony is a good opportunity. Junior Sister Nangong originally wanted to keep a low profile and only invite a few Taoists from Beiliang Country, but now it seems that this is not possible. Junior Brother happens to be coming to the sect for the first time, so let's come along!"

The cold look on the face of the Yanyue Sect's Great Elder disappeared, replaced by a bright and charming smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all, Great Elder."

Lin Shou naturally had no objection to this, as this was his original plan.

"Junior Brother Lin, you are joking. Junior Brother is willing to hand over so many monster materials to the sect. This is a great thing for the sect. I should thank you. Junior Brother, don't worry. The spirit stones exchanged for this batch of monster materials will definitely not disappoint you."

The great elder of the Hidden Moon Sect said with a sweet smile.

"Well! I'll trouble you, Great Elder. If there's nothing else, Senior Sister Nangong and I will take our leave first."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

“Okay, then Junior Brother Lin, go and choose a cave with Junior Sister Nangong first! After you’ve made your choice, just tell me. I will then naturally inform the other nephews and disciples.” The cold female elder of the Yanyue Sect nodded lightly.

"it is good."

Hearing this, Lin Shou said goodbye to Nangong Wan and left without saying anything else.

……

After leaving the Sunset Palace, Nangong Wan did not ask about the monster materials, but directly asked Lin Shou what kind of cave he wanted.

"Of course, I just need to be closer to Senior Sister."

Lin Shou thought about it and chuckled.

"Closer to me? Wouldn't it be better if you and I were in the same cave?"

Hearing Lin Shou's suggestive words, Nangong Wan's cheeks turned red and she said unhappily.

"Okay, I naturally have no objection."

Hearing this, Lin Shou was naturally very happy and said with a smile.

"Bah, that's a nice thought."

Seeing this, Nangong Wan's cheeks became even redder, she looked beautiful and charming, and she spat.

"Haha. It seems that I don't have this blessing."

Lin Shou laughed.

"Okay, stop messing around. Just open up a cave next to mine. The spiritual energy around us is rich enough to support the cultivation of both of you and me."

Nangong Wan continued.

"Do you want the spiritual eye thing, Senior Sister?"

Hearing this, Lin Shou suddenly spoke again.

"Spirit Eye Thing. There is a Spirit Eye Spring in my cave, which was left by my master. Could it be that Junior Brother knows where there is an ownerless Spirit Eye Thing?"

When she heard the word "spiritual eye", Nangong Wan's eyes lit up.

No cultivator can refuse something that can bring spiritual eyes.

"How could it be ownerless? It's just that it can be considered as such! Anyway, this spiritual eye belongs to a special person. It's hard to explain this matter in a few words. If you have time, you can go with me to the Yunmeng Mountains in Xi Country."

Lin Shou had no intention of hiding it, but he pretended to be mysterious at the end.

"The Yunmeng Mountains of Xi Country, Junior Brother, are you talking about the Spirit Eye Tree of the three Yunmeng sects?"

Nangong Wan was shocked.

"How is it possible? How could I be so bold as to covet the Spirit Eye Tree? However, the Spirit Eye is indeed in the three Yunmeng sects, but no one knows about it. Instead, it is in the hands of a corpse goblin. Anyway, if you have time, come with me and you will know."

Lin Shou shook his head and explained.

"Okay, then I'll go with you and help you get the spiritual eye object."

When Nangong Wan heard the word "corpse demon", she was shocked but she agreed without hesitation.

Nangong Wan naturally knew the origin of the "corpse monsters". The conditions for their formation were extremely harsh.

First, the corpse must be at least a monk in the Nascent Soul stage during life. It is impossible for mortals and monks with low cultivation levels to turn into corpses after death.

Secondly, the cultivator must have spiritual roots of wood or earth attributes, and they must be natural spiritual roots. Otherwise, there will be no chance of using the power of stone and wood to revive through spiritual communication.

And precisely because they were Nascent Soul cultivators in their previous lives, they possessed the Nascent Soul stage cultivation as soon as they communicated with spirits, and even Nascent Soul middle stage cultivators could not do anything about them.

Therefore, Nangong Wan felt that Lin Shou could not handle it alone and wanted to get the spiritual eye that he mentioned, so she invited her to go together.

After all, apart from her, there was no other Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Tiannan cultivation world whom Lin Shou knew and trusted.

"Then I would like to thank you in advance, Senior Sister."

Lin Shou also roughly guessed Nangong Wan's thoughts, and then bowed to express his gratitude.

"No need. Let's hurry up! Otherwise we'll delay our Nascent Soul Ceremony. After all, this corpse goblin is not easy to deal with."

Nangong Wan also knew how powerful the corpse goblin was, so she reminded him again.

"It's natural."

Lin Shou said with a smile.

Afterwards, Nangong Wan took out the Tianyue Divine Boat of the Yanyue Sect.

"Let's go!"

Then the two of them boarded the Tianyue Divine Boat and headed towards Nanzhou of Xiguo.

……

Nanzhou is located in the western part of Xiguo. It has complex terrain, countless hills and dense forests, and swamps and miasma are often seen. Therefore, except for a few isolated cities and some official roads, few people walk in the wilderness.

As for the more remote mountains and ridges, they are a world of poisonous snakes and beasts, and ordinary people dare not go deep into them.

On the contrary, due to its unique environment and the abundance of rare herbs and precious animals, the state is a favorite destination for monks from the Xi Kingdom.

More than half of the monk sects in the entire Xi Kingdom are concentrated in this small state. Some powerful monk sects even monopolize several places with the most abundant spiritual energy.

The most famous among them are the three sects of Yunmeng, Ancient Sword Sect, Baiqiao Academy, and Luoyun Sect.

The most famous of these three sects are the Spirit Eye Tree and the Dingling Pill. The former is the first of the three Spirit Eye objects, and there is only one in the entire Tiannan immortal cultivation world. The latter is the elixir that countless cultivators in the late Jindan stage dream of, and it can increase the chance of condensing a Nascent Soul by 10%.

As you can imagine, it is precious after so many years.

But for Lin Shou and Nangong Wan, these two things are not something they can get now.

What they want now is the spiritual eye thing in the hands of the corpse goblin mentioned by Lin Shou: the spiritual eye jade.

Although Nangong Wan believed what Lin Shou said, she still felt it was too dangerous. After all, it was a corpse goblin, a rare and dangerous creature in the world?
This kind of evil creature not only does not have the fatal weakness of ghosts, demons and zombies that is afraid of the power of sunlight, but it also possesses most of its memories from its previous life and can practice the skills it had in its previous life from birth.

At the same time, because he died with resentment, he became bloodthirsty. After killing a monk, he especially liked to imprison the monk's soul in his stomach and slowly torture him with corpse fire for fun.

Although both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, they had just condensed their Nascent Soul not long ago, so it was quite difficult for them to deal with such a ferocious creature.

But facing the temptation of the Spirit Eye Jade, and Lin Shou's request, Nangong Wan still decided to take the risk. After all, her Reincarnation Light could trap the corpse goblin for a while without any problem.

This is the important reason why she followed Lin Shou here.

Because both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Luoyun Sect's protective formation could not be activated at any time, the two of them entered the Luoyun Sect very easily.

But Lin Shou only had a rough idea of ​​the location of the corpse goblin?
Therefore, he could only ask others, not the soul-searching technique, but other means to confuse the mind. This was too easy for Nangong Wan, who was born in the Yanyue Sect.

Soon, Lin Shou and Nangong Wan found the swamp in the plot.

"This should be it. Senior sister, wait a moment while I use my spiritual sense to investigate."

Arriving above the swamp, Lin Shou looked around and said something, then released his spiritual sense to explore the area within a hundred miles.

"What a powerful spiritual sense! This spiritual sense should not be inferior to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. What opportunities has he gained over the years?"

Although Lin Shou was far from releasing all of his spiritual sense, Nangong Wan still felt that the strength of Lin Shou's spiritual sense was far inferior to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Found it, Senior Sister."

Just when Nangong Wan was considering whether to find an opportunity to ask, Lin Shou exclaimed with a look of joy on his face.

"it is good."

Hearing this, Nangong Wan came back to her senses and didn't think any more about it. She followed Lin Shou towards the place where the corpse goblin was.

After a while, Nangong Wan and Lin Shou came to a cliff.

Looking at the cliff in front of him, Lin Shou took out the wolf-head jade ruyi and asked Yin Yue inside it to perform the earth escape technique to "dig" out a yellowish-brown passage on the cliff.

"Senior Sister, let's go in!"

Lin Shou's face became more and more joyful.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Nangong Wan naturally didn't say much, and entered the ochre-colored passage side by side with Lin Shou.

Soon, the two of them appeared in a closed stone chamber.

"is it here?"

Looking around with her beautiful eyes and exploring everything in the stone chamber with her spiritual sense, Nangong Wan frowned slightly, feeling as if she had come to the wrong place.

"Now that you're here, come in!"

Just as Nangong Wan was considering whether to ask Lin Shou to leave, an old voice sounded.

Then, a huge passage appeared in the stone wall ahead.

"Wan'er, let's go in!"

Seeing this, Lin Shou smiled slightly and directly called Nangong Wan "Wan'er".

Hearing this, Nangong Wan's cheeks turned slightly red, but she didn't say much and continued to follow Lin Shou into the passage.

After a moment, the two saw the person who was talking, a woman in a black dress sitting cross-legged on a stone platform.

This woman had a beautiful appearance, but a pale face. Her eyes were full of light and there was a layer of bright light covering her face. However, half of her sleeves were empty, indicating that she was a person with a missing arm.

At the same time, the walls of the stone chamber they were in were extremely rough, as if they had been chopped off by a huge axe, and were extremely uneven.

If Lin Shou had not made it clear already, Nangong Wan really could not believe that the woman in the black dress in front of her was actually a corpse goblin.

"So it's you two fellow Taoists. You two shouldn't be cultivators from Luoyun Sect!"

The woman in the black dress looked at Lin Shou and Nangong Wan for a few seconds before she slowly spoke.

"No, we are a pair of Taoist companions from the He Huan Sect. We accidentally discovered your story in a book from the Xi Country, so we came here to check out the situation. At the same time, we want to make a deal with you."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

And when she heard that the two "Daoist companions" were from the Hehuan Sect, even though she was mentally prepared, Nangong Wan's cheeks still felt slightly hot, but she didn't want to say much.

"Oh! Since you know my identity, you still dare to come and do business with me. You are really brave."

The woman in the black skirt spoke in a sinister and cold voice, which made people shudder.

"It is precisely because I know your identity that I dare to come and do business with you."

Lin Shou smiled, not showing any worry at all.

"Oh! What kind of deal do you want to make? I don't have what you need here."

The young woman in the black dress regained her composure and spoke.

"Spirit Eye Jade."

Lin Shou uttered four words that made the woman in the black dress turn pale.

"So it's for the Spirit Eye Jade. No wonder you took the risk to come here. So what do you plan to exchange for it?"

The woman in the black dress was shocked for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked.

"How about letting you leave here? I'm sure you want to go out and take revenge, right?"

Lin Shou said with a smile.

"You are so brave! Aren't you worried that when I go out, besides revenge, I will cause a lot of killings?" the woman in black dress said in surprise.

"Haha, my husband and I are both from the devil sect and have killed countless people. How could we care about such a small matter? As long as we can get the Spirit Eye Jade, we don't need to care about anything else."

Lin Shou chuckled and said nonchalantly.

"That's right. As cultivators, why should we care about the life and death of others? Hahaha."

Hearing Lin Shou's words, the woman in the black dress laughed.

"Okay, in that case, as long as you swear a vow to your inner demons and let me go, I will give you the Jade of the Spirit Eye as a thank you gift."

"no problem,"

Lin Shou nodded and agreed immediately.

Afterwards, he made a vow to Nangong Wan. This was something they had already discussed.

"Since the two Taoist friends are so happy, I will give this Spirit Eye Jade to the two Taoist friends."

When the woman in the black dress saw that Lin Shou and Nangong Wan made the inner demon oath without any hesitation, the smile on her face became even more intense.

Although she didn't understand how Lin Shou knew of her existence and the Spirit Eye Jade, it didn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that she is about to escape and leave here to take revenge.

This is really important to her.

"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Lin Shou thanked him with a smile on his face.
