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

Chapter 125: The Demon Ceremony
Luoyun Sect

"Senior sister, look, isn't this what we have?"

Lin Shou said with a hint of boasting while holding the Spirit Eye Jade.

"But Junior Brother, if this corpse demon escapes, it will be a disaster for the entire Tiannan cultivation world."

Nangong Wan frowned and sighed softly.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Someone will take care of this corpse goblin. How could I really let it leave the sealed place and cause trouble to the Tiannan cultivation world?"

Lin Shou chuckled and said.

"Someone will take care of it? That's the best."

After hearing Lin Shou's words, Nangong Wan finally felt relieved.

"Well! Now that the spiritual eye is in hand, it's time to visit the three Yunmeng sects."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

"A guest?"

"Junior brother, is there anything else?"

Nangong Wan asked curiously.

"Of course. Let's not talk about the Nascent Soul Ceremony that will be held when you and I condense our Nascent Souls. Even the Ten Thousand Monsters Ceremony that will be held when the monster materials are handed over to the Great Elder will also require the invitation of fellow immortals, right?"

Lin Shou said with a smile.

"What my junior brother said is true."

Hearing this, Nangong Wan nodded slightly with relief.

"However, I always feel that it would not be good if someone got greedy for money. After the Ten Thousand Monsters Ceremony is over, Junior Brother should practice in the sect for a few more days. It won't be too late to go out and look for opportunities after the storm is over."

Nangong Wan said with some worry again.

"Of course, Senior Sister, don't worry."

After hearing Nangong Wan's words, Lin Shou did not refuse and agreed directly.

After doing all this, it is indeed necessary to retreat and practice for a period of time.

"Ok!"

Seeing that Lin Shou was willing to listen to advice, Nangong Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a bright smile.

Afterwards, the two of them headed straight for the nearest Luoyun Sect's mountain gate.

……

Facing the arrival of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, the ones who came to greet and entertain them were naturally not the several peak masters of the Luoyun Sect who were in the Jindan stage.

Instead, they were two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Luoyun Sect who had been in seclusion for a long time, Lu Luo and Cheng Tiankun.

In the lobby of Luoyun Sect's VIP building.

Lin Shou and Nangong Wan were sitting there, drinking tea and waiting for Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo from Luoyun Sect.

Beside him were several peak masters of the Luoyun Sect who were in charge of entertaining him.

At this moment, outside the VIP building, two beams of light, one silver and one yellow, landed almost at the same time.

When the glow faded away, one was Cheng Tiankun with silver hair and long eyebrows, and the other was Lu Luo, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.

“Brother Cheng, we have no relationship with the Yanyue Sect of the Northern Liang Kingdom of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. How come two Nascent Soul cultivators are here? The Yanyue Sect is really lucky.”

"Beiliang, a country with the poorest spiritual land, joined the Nine-Nation Alliance. It turned out that in just a hundred years, it had two more Nascent Soul cultivators. This is really enviable."

The middle-aged man Lu Luo said with envy on his face.

"Yes! However, I have heard of Fairy Nangong. She is said to be the most beautiful woman in Beiliang Country. Few men who have seen her are not attracted to her. As for Fellow Daoist Lin Shou, there is absolutely no news about him. I have never even heard of him. It is very likely that he is a cultivator hidden in the Yanyue Sect. Now that he has condensed his Nascent Soul, he is allowed to come out."

"I just don't know what their purpose is in coming here this time?"

Cheng Tiankun, with a head full of silver hair, frowned and thought.

"Could it be that they are inviting you and me to attend their Nascent Soul Ceremony? After all, the sudden appearance of two Nascent Soul cultivators would mean that any sect would hold a rather large Nascent Soul Ceremony. This would almost mean that in the next hundreds or thousands of years, the Moon-Shattering Sect would not decline at all, but would instead become more prosperous. This is a good opportunity to make friends with them."

The middle-aged man Lu Luo guessed.

After all, compared to the increasingly prosperous Yanyue Sect, which had two more Nascent Soul cultivators, their Luoyun Sect did show some signs of a lack of successors.

Except for Song Yu, the natural spiritual root of Baifeng Peak who had just formed his Dan, no one in the sect had the hope of condensing his Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

And Cheng Tiankun doesn’t have much time left to live. Once he dies, the Luoyun Sect’s position in the three Yunmeng sects will inevitably be lost.

So, they really envy the Yanyue Sect.

After all, the Yanyue Sect now has four Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Great Elder of Yanyue Sect is a cultivator in the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Although the other elder in the Nascent Soul stage does not care about worldly affairs and likes to travel, it is impossible for him to ignore the affairs of Yanyue Sect.

Now there are Lin Shou and Nangong Wan, two Nascent Soul cultivators, which is really enviable.

"Yes, I heard that Fairy Nangong has been practicing for only three hundred years, and her potential is really great. Maybe she has the hope of advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage. As for fellow Daoist Lin Shou, although his origins are not very clear, since he came here with her and there is no news about him, his origins are probably not too big, and are about the same as Fairy Nangong."

Cheng Tiankun, with a head full of silver hair, analyzed.

"No matter what, let's go in and take a look first. Don't make them wait any longer, or else we will be accused of being disrespectful by the Luoyun Sect."

The middle-aged man Lu Luo nodded.

"That's right, let's go in first." Cheng Tiankun, with a head full of silver hair, nodded in agreement.

Just like that, the two of them flew side by side into the reception hall of the VIP building.

……

"Haha! I'm really sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."

Suddenly, Cheng Tiankun, with his sky full of silver hair, and the younger Lu Luo, walked into the hall side by side, and bowed and smiled to Lin Shou and Nangong Wan who had been waiting for a long time.

"You two fellow Taoists are joking. We should apologize to you for coming here uninvited and disturbing you."

Lin Shou and Nangong Wan stood up to return the greeting, apologetically speaking.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lin, Fairy Nangong is joking. Please take a seat!"

Hearing this, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo looked at each other and then laughed.

"Ok!"

Seeing this, Lin Shou and Nangong Wan naturally sat down again.

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo also sat down at the first seats on the left and right sides of the hall.

"I'm Cheng Tiankun, and this is my junior brother Lu Luo."

"I'm Lin Shou, this is Senior Sister Nangong Wan."

After a brief introduction, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun asked directly.

"I wonder what the matter is that Fellow Daoist Lin and Fairy Nangong are here for?"

"I came to your sect this time mainly for two reasons. One is to invite you two fellow Taoists to come to our sect to participate in our Nascent Soul Ceremony and the Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony to be held by our sect's great elder later."

"The Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony? I wonder what this is?"

After hearing Lin Shou's answer, Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo had already anticipated the Nascent Soul Ceremony, but they had no idea what the Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony that followed meant.

But it is definitely related to monsters.

"To be honest, I have acquired a batch of monster materials by chance over the years. Now that I have successfully formed a fetus, I have returned to the sect to ask the great elder for help in exchanging these monster materials for the spiritual stones, spiritual medicines, and other materials I need. If you are interested, I can purchase some monster materials at that time. I will definitely not let you down."

Lin Shou chuckled and explained,

"So that's how it is. Fellow Daoist Lin, this is a great opportunity. No problem. When the time comes, the two of us will definitely go to your sect to participate in the Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony." After listening to Lin Shou's explanation, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo looked at each other before they smiled.

It can be considered as agreeing to it.

At the same time, he couldn't help but envy Lin Shou and Yanyue Zonglai.

It turned out that it was because of such an opportunity that he was able to condense his Nascent Soul. It is truly enviable.

"Then thank you two fellow Taoists."

Hearing this, Lin Shou thanked him with a smile.

"You are too polite, Brother Lin. This is nothing. After all, monster materials are good things for every sect. Even if Brother Lin doesn't come in person, we will go there after hearing about it."

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun said with a smile on his face.

This is really the truth. Monster materials are good things for any sect, family, or individual cultivator. They can be exchanged for spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual medicines, and for refining magical instruments.

This is especially true in today's resource-scarce Tiannan cultivation world.

You must know that whether it was the invasion of the immortal world of the various countries in the middle by the righteous and evil forces in the south of the sky, or the generational feud between the Nine-Nation Alliance and the Mulan clan, it can be summed up as a struggle for resources.

In today's world of immortal cultivation, there are more and more immortal cultivators, but the resources, spiritual stones, materials, spiritual medicines, etc. are becoming less and less.

In order to avoid internal conflicts, we can only wage external war. There is no other way and no one can stop it.

Therefore, when they heard that there was a batch of monster materials, both the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo were shocked but extremely happy at the same time.

Their Luoyun Sect was not short of spiritual stones, but they were still short of materials. Relying solely on the mineral resources they had opened up, they could only barely hold on.

However, they did not think they could purchase much monster materials, nor did they know whether the Ten Thousand Monsters Ceremony was really an exaggeration.

"Thank you both for coming over when the time comes."

Lin Shou bowed and thanked him.

"As for the second thing, it is actually an unreasonable request. I hope you two Taoist friends can agree to it. Don't worry, I will not let you two Taoist friends suffer any loss."

Lin Shou then talked about the second matter.

"Oh! I don't know what it is, Brother Lin, just tell me. As long as we can do it, we will definitely do our best to help."

After hearing Lin Shou's words, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo looked at each other again and spoke.

The two of them have always had a good reputation in the world of immortal cultivation, which Lin Shou learned from Nangong Wan.

"I want a piece of the root of the Spirit Eye Tree. In exchange, here are two level six demon pills."

Lin Shou waved his hand, took out two jade boxes with talismans on them that he had prepared long ago, and placed them on the table next to him.

"Sixth level demon pill?"

Seeing this, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo were both shocked.

After all, in the entire Tiannan cultivation world, only the Yuling Sect, one of the six magic sects of the Tianluo Kingdom, has a few level six spirit beasts guarding the sect. As for other sects, it is really unclear.

Lin Shou took out two level six demon pills in one breath, which really shocked them both.

Compared to the shock of Cheng Tiankun and Lu Luo, Nangong Wan was very calm.

After all, she had exchanged a lot of demon pills with Lin Shou along the way.

She was shocked at first, but now she can deal with it normally.

"Not bad, a sixth-level demon pill. What do you two fellow Taoists think?"

Lin Shou asked with a smile on his face.

"This……"

"This one……"

Upon seeing this, the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo came back to their senses from shock and looked at each other for a while before they said with difficulty.

"I believe that Fellow Daoist Lin should also know that the Spirit Eye Tree is not owned by our sect alone, but is jointly managed by our three sects. Although cutting off a little bit of the rhizome is not a big deal, according to the agreement between the three sects, as long as it is related to the Spirit Eye Tree, no matter how big or small, it must be decided by the three sects together, and nothing can be concealed."

"So, are you two Daoists planning to let me pass on two level six demon pills?"

After hearing what the silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun said, Lin Shou frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

"No, no, no, Brother Lin, you are joking. How can this be possible? But we still need to discuss this matter with the brothers from the other two sects. At most three level six demon pills, one for each of our three sects, will be enough. If that doesn't work, we will cover what the other two sects need. Brother Lin will definitely not pay anything more. How do you think?"

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun quickly shook his head in denial and promised.

"That's not necessary. As long as it's not an excessive request, I can consider it."

Hearing this, Lin Shou now understood a little bit why Cheng Tiankun and the middle-aged man Lu Luo had such a good reputation in the world of immortal cultivation.

This promise alone made his anger dissipate.

"Let's try our best! But a piece of the root of the Spirit Eye Tree is not a difficult task, don't worry, Brother Lin."

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun promised.

"Okay, I'll trouble you two fellow Taoists then."

Seeing this, Lin Shou also nodded slightly.

Since he could obtain the roots of the Spirit Eye Tree through normal means, he naturally would not use any special means.

Going there is not that difficult.

"Friend Lin, you are joking. Generally speaking, we have gained the upper hand in this matter."

Lu Luo shook his head and smiled.

"Then my senior sister and I will wait in your sect for a few more days."

Lin Shou continued.

"Okay, that's no problem."

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun agreed with a smile.

"However, I'm afraid that Brother Lin will have to meet fellow Daoists from both sects in a few days."

"Okay, I just happen to want to meet fellow Taoists from both sects and invite them to my and my senior sister's Yuanying Ceremony and the Ten Thousand Demons Ceremony."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

This was also something that was expected.

"When the time comes, I'll trouble you two Taoist friends to introduce me to one or two."

"Of course. Junior Brother Xin, you can take Fellow Daoist Lin and Fairy Nangong to rest! Junior Brother Lu and I will go to Baiqiaoyuan and Gujianmen right away."

The silver-haired old man Cheng Tiankun instructed a peak master in the hall.

"Yes, Uncle Cheng."

Hearing this, Peak Master Xin would naturally not refuse.

"Senior Lin, Senior Nangong, please follow me."

Peak Master Xin spoke respectfully to Lin Shou and Nangong Wan again.

At the same time, he glanced at Lin Shou inconspicuously. He was also extremely shocked that Lin Shou could take out two level six demon pills, but now it was not something he could ask.

"Thank you."

Lin Shou and Nangong Wan stood up to express their gratitude.

"You two seniors are too polite."

The leader of Luoyun Sect named Xin said hurriedly.
