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

Chapter 128 Wei Lichen's Conspiracy
The Nine-Nation Alliance is one of the four major forces in the Tiannan cultivation world today. It is a close alliance composed of nine countries, large and small.

This alliance was formed under the leadership of the Nine Kingdoms' immortal cultivation world. The reason was to deal with the invading army composed of the "magicians" of the Mulan tribe.

Among them, the Huayi Sect is now the largest sect in the Nine Nations Alliance, and even in the entire Tiannan immortal cultivation world, it is second only to the righteous Taizhen Sect and the evil Hehuan Sect.

The main reason is that the grand elder of Huayi Sect, also the grand elder of the Nine-Nation Alliance, Wei Wuya, is one of the three great late Nascent Soul cultivators in the Tiannan immortal world.

The poison skills he practiced were so superb that even the other two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage did not dare to offend him easily.

And this Wei Lichen, who has condensed his Nascent Soul at the age of over 300, is the one with the greatest hope of advancing to the late Nascent Soul stage among the Huayi Sect and even the Nine Nations Alliance.

Now he is already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and his cultivation speed is very fast.

And Wei Lichen also repeatedly invited Lin Shou to visit Huayi Gate.

As for the purpose, it is naturally not just to pay off the debt!

However, Lin Shou did not care about these things, but he was not in a hurry to go to Huayi Sect. Instead, he asked for the spirit stones owed by the immortal sects and families in various countries on the way.

Most of the immortal cultivation families have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, so it is very easy for Lin Shou to get them given his Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

It is not difficult to recruit from a sect of immortal cultivation. You can get it with a simple greeting and a few polite words. Most of them are worth one to eight hundred thousand.

Just like that, the amount of spirit stones on Lin Shou's body recovered to tens of millions just from this journey, which made him feel much better.

Huayi Sect is located in the Wanling Mountains in Yunzhou of Zhao State, the third-ranked immortal cultivation country in the Nine-Nation Alliance.

This Wanling Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in the entire Nine Nations Alliance, stretching for a hundred thousand miles, with numerous mountains and valleys, and towering ancient trees...

Of course, the most important thing is the spiritual energy of the entire Wanling Mountains. Its spiritual veins are ranked among the top three in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.

It is said that there are more than ten Spirit Eye Springs alone, and there is also a Spirit Eye Tree. Although it is not as good as the Spirit Eye Tree of the Three Sects of Xiguo Yunmeng, it is also a Spirit Eye Tree.

As for why both the righteous and evil forces did not plan to covet the Huayi Sect's Spirit Eye Tree, firstly, the Huayi Sect's Spirit Eye Tree was not as good as those of the three Yunmeng sects. Secondly, Wei Wuya, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, was the oldest among the three Nascent Soul cultivators and was not a vegetarian.

It’s just like the ginseng fruit that is in the hands of the immortal Zhenyuan, and no monster comes to steal it.

In addition, the Nine-Nation Alliance is the main force to deal with the invasion of the Mulan clan on the grassland, so they naturally do not want to offend the other party because of this matter.

It's not like there are no other options. What's more, the righteous and evil forces have been planning against the three sects of Yunmeng for a long time, so it's natural that they will choose to attack the three sects of Yunmeng.

After all, both the difficulty and success rate are far superior to the Huayi Gate.

In fact, if it weren’t for the traitor from Luoyun Sect, who eventually became a traitor, the Spirit Eye Trees of the three Yunmeng sects might not have been preserved.

Without the Spirit Eye Tree, the three Yunmeng sects will inevitably fall apart, and by then, the strength of the entire Tiandao Alliance will be greatly reduced.

After all, the Ancient Sword Sect, the leader of the three Yunmeng sects, is one of the three founding sects of the Tiandao League.

The main reason for this is that with the assistance of Luoyun Sect and Baiqiao Academy, the Ancient Sword Sect was able to compete with the other two major sects, Mingluan Sect and Beiye Sect, and gain control of some of the power of the Tiandao Alliance.

One can imagine the importance of the Spirit Eye Tree to the three Yunmeng sects.

But now is not the time for Lin Shou to think about this. Firstly, he is not a cultivator of the Tiandao League, and secondly, the three Yunmeng sects have nothing to do with him.

Of course, if possible, he wouldn't mind joining in the fun and causing both the righteous and evil forces to lose some Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, he has not yet avenged himself.

As for now, he still has to go to Huayi Gate as a guest to collect his debt.

……

Huayi Gate, Lingyun Peak is one of the top ten sacred mountains in the Wanling Mountains. It is surrounded by clouds and mist, and has numerous palaces and magnificent buildings.

There is not only a VIP building for receiving guests, but also a VIP lobby.

Wei Lichen entertained Lin Shou, who came to collect a debt, in the VIP hall of Lingyun Peak.

Wei Lichen condensed his Nascent Soul when he was over three hundred years old. Naturally, his face was not very big, only about thirty years old. He had a handsome appearance and a slender figure. He was dressed in a brocade robe and exuded a graceful and luxurious temperament.

"Friend Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

As soon as he entered the VIP lounge, Wei Lichen immediately bowed and apologized to Lin Shou who was sitting and waiting.

There was a lot of apology on his face.

"Brother Wei, you are too polite. I came here mainly to accept your invitation and secondly to collect a debt. I hope you can forgive me for my intrusion."

Lin Shou bowed in return and smiled.

"Haha, Brother Lin, you are too polite. This is the spiritual stone that Wei owes me. Brother Lin, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."

Seeing this, Wei Lichen laughed heartily. Then, he took out a green storage bag from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Shou, saying.

"Thank you, Brother Wei."

Lin Shou didn't hesitate and took it and started to check it.

Not only was the amount not reduced, but it was tens of thousands more, which really surprised Lin Shou.

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Wei Lichen also sat down at the first seat in the VIP hall at the right time and said with a smile.

"I wonder why Brother Wei invited me here?"

At this time, Lin Shou also asked about the doubts in his heart.

"This is mainly because I want to buy another batch of demon pills and celestial spirit medicines that are over a thousand years old from Fellow Daoist Lin."

Hearing this, Wei Lichen directly stated his purpose and said with a smile.

"This? I have basically finished refining the demon pill and this thousand-year-old elixir, so I'm afraid it won't work."

Lin Shou said with difficulty.

"Oh! Is that so? Never mind then."

After hearing Lin Shou's answer, the smile on Wei Lichen's face gradually disappeared, but he still forced a smile without losing his grace.

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Wei. If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave. The Great Elder also hopes that I can go back as soon as possible to avoid any accidents. After all, I have just condensed my Nascent Soul, and I am far from being a Nascent Soul cultivator like Brother Wei."

Lin Shou stood up, bowed, smiled and was about to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you so anxious? Since you have come to our Huayi Sect, if I don't take you around, wouldn't outsiders say that we in the Huayi Sect don't know etiquette?"

"What's more, my uncle has always wanted to meet Fellow Daoist Lin. Please stay and see this genius who has not appeared in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World for tens of thousands of years."

Seeing this, Wei Lichen's face changed slightly, and he quickly stopped him with a smile.

"Well... in that case, I'm sorry to bother you. It happens that I have long heard of Great Elder Wei's great name." Hearing this, the smile on Lin Shou's face became much more intense, and he seemed to be quite happy to meet Wei Wuya.

"Okay, then, Brother Lin, please wait a moment. I will go and invite my uncle right away." Upon hearing this, Wei Lichen's smile returned to his face and he said with a smile.

Wei Wuya is Wei Lichen's great uncle, and he is also a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage and the grand elder of the Nine-Nation Alliance. Naturally, he cannot be invited with just a sound transmission note or by sending someone to invite him.

Wei Lichen needs to go and invite him in person.

So after saying this, Wei Lichen stood up and left the VIP hall.

The original intention of discussing some cultivation experiences with Lin Shou, and inquiring about materials on monster beasts and thousand-year-old elixirs, was completely dashed.

……

Wan Du Mountain is the peak with the most concentrated poisonous miasma in the entire Wan Ling Mountain Range of Huayi Sect. It is home to countless poisonous insects, poisonous plants, poisonous snakes and other poisonous creatures. Naturally, it is the place where Wei Wuya, the great elder of Huayi Sect of the Nine Nations Alliance, practices.

Therefore, even Wei Lichen did not dare to get too close, and could only wait for Wei Wuya by transmitting the message from a hundred feet away.

After receiving the message from Wei Lichen, Wei Wuya also appeared and asked with a rather ugly look on his face.

"Li Chen, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Uncle, this person was able to condense the Nascent Soul in just over a hundred years, and he also obtained so many demon beast materials and thousand-year-old elixirs, or even ten-thousand-year-old elixirs. He must have a shocking secret. If you get it, you might have a chance to advance to the Spiritualization Stage. And I may also break through to the late Nascent Soul stage within one or two hundred years. This is a great thing for the entire Huayi Sect and even the Nine Nations Alliance. We no longer need to be afraid of the Mulan Clan on the grassland, and we don't have to rely on the two ways of good and evil, the Tiandao Alliance. Our Nine Nations Alliance may one day not only be able to destroy the entire Mulan Clan, but also unify the entire Tiannan cultivation world. How can we miss such a great opportunity and good thing?"

Wei Lichen blurted out the words he had already prepared in his mind.

"Since you know that he has a huge secret, you should also know that he not only has many monster materials, thousand-year-old elixirs, and ten-thousand-year-old elixirs, but also other life-saving items. If he escapes, the entire Huayi Sect and the Nine Nations Alliance will be offended by a cultivator with unlimited potential. Once he breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the God Transformation stage, how will you deal with it?"

Wei Wuya's expression became increasingly unsightly.

"Don't worry, uncle. I have arranged for the elders of the sect to make preparations. The sect protection formation and various formations have been activated. Lingyun Peak has also arranged multiple sets of ultimate killing formations. Not to mention that he is just an early Nascent Soul cultivator, even a late Nascent Soul cultivator like uncle would not be able to escape. Uncle, do you think that he, an early Nascent Soul cultivator, has the magical powers and strength comparable to a late Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Wei Lichen continued to persuade him. He knew his uncle's cautious nature, so he had to offer enough benefits and success rate to persuade Wei Wuya.

"In that case, let's give it a try!"

After hearing what Wei Lichen said, Wei Wuya knew that it was useless to persuade him any further, so he could only nod and agree.

After all, even if he didn't agree, Wei Lichen would not let Lin Shou leave Huayi Sect. He would definitely extract his soul and refine his spirit to get the secret of Lin Shou.

Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, he had no choice but to agree.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, the consequences will be disastrous. He also doesn't want Huayimen to offend an enemy with unlimited potential.

But there is no way now.

……

Half an hour later, Wei Lichen followed an old man in green clothes into the VIP hall.

This old man in green had an incomparable appearance. Whether it was his clothes or his appearance, there was nothing special about him. The only thing that caught his attention was that he had long nails on his ten fingers. These nails looked extremely sharp, and were purple-black, shining with a faint light, which was really eye-catching.

Obviously, this person is Wei Wuya, the grand elder of the Nine Nations Alliance.

"Lin has met the Great Elder!"

As soon as Wei Wuya came in, Lin Shou stood up and said respectfully.

Show great respect for each other.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are too polite. Please take a seat! I have also been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. Now I see that you are indeed extraordinary. You are worthy of being the first cultivation genius in the history of Tiannan Cultivation World."

Wei Wuya sat at the first seat in the hall and said with a smile,

It makes people feel extremely friendly and approachable.

"Great elder, you are too kind. I am just lucky."

Lin Shou said very humbly and politely.

"This is not good luck!"

Wei Wuya shook his head and chuckled.

"Does Fellow Daoist Lin have any questions about cultivation? Feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer them."

Wei Wuya said something that surprised Lin Shou and even Wei Lichen.

This doesn't seem to be what was planned.

But it was obviously not his turn to speak now.

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Elder. I have no questions now. However, I would like to ask you a few questions?"

Hearing Wei Wuya's words, the smile on Lin Shou's face became much more intense, and he said.

"Okay, Brother Lin, feel free to ask. I will not hide anything I know."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wuya continued to smile and nodded in agreement.

"In fact, Lin just wants to know how the Great Elder intends to keep me here so that I can get the news about the monster materials and the thousand-year-old elixir?"

"Is it to extract the soul and refine the spirit, or is it to torture?"

Lin Shou spoke in a calm tone but said words that made Wei Wuya and Wei Lichen change color.

"What does Fellow Daoist Lin mean by this? Why doesn't Wei understand?"

Wei Lichen's expression turned much uglier and he asked in a cold voice.

"Your Lingyun Peak has set up eight sets of ultimate killing formations, each of which is an ancient ultimate killing formation that is powerful enough to kill Nascent Soul cultivators. I really don't understand why a Lingyun Peak that entertains distinguished guests would set up so many ultimate killing formations. Moreover, your Huayi Sect's protective formation is also being activated. Most importantly, among the more than ten Yuanying-stage fellows in the entire Huayi Sect, I only saw two from beginning to end. Where did the others go? Are they really in seclusion to practice?"

Lin Shou chuckled and slowly spoke out words that made Wei Lichen's face turn pale.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is really amazing. He actually discovered it. But even if Fellow Daoist Lin discovered it, what would happen? Did Fellow Daoist Lin think he could leave alive?"

Wei Lichen glanced at Wei Wuya, then thought of his various arrangements, and sneered fearlessly.

"Ah, could it be that you, Great Elder, also think so?"

Lin Shou simply glanced at Wei Lichen's words, and then set his sights on Wei Wuya, a late Nascent Soul cultivator, the Grand Elder of the Nine Nations Alliance, and one of the few people he admired in the entire Tiannan cultivation world.

"Li Chen, let Fellow Daoist Lin leave! No one is allowed to stop him."

Faced with Lin Shou's indifferent expression, Wei Wuya was silent for a moment and then began to give orders.

"granduncle!"

Upon hearing Wei Wuya's order, Wei Lichen's face changed drastically and he spoke sternly.

Obviously, he didn't expect Wei Wuya to let him let Lin Shou go.
