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

Chapter 141: Deal with the Ancient Demon
"There is nothing I can do about it. They all want my life. If I let them live, I will be letting them down."

Lin Shou said without caring but with murderous intent in his tone.

"However, Junior Brother, you must be more careful. After all, there are definitely more cultivators who covet your secrets and treasures than just these few. There must be other cultivators. Especially now that the Mulan clan has invaded, it will be easier for others to find an opportunity. If that happens, it will be troublesome."

Nangong Wan frowned slightly and reminded him.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Wan'er. This is nothing to worry about." Lin Shou chuckled.

"It's just that it probably won't be long before the Nine Nations Alliance will send someone to invite us. I don't think Senior Sister Beiliang will be able to hold on for much longer."

Today, the Yanyue Sect in the southern world of immortal cultivation is divided into the Yanyue Sect of Beiliang Kingdom and the Yanyue Sect of Yue Kingdom.

The Yanyue Sect of Beiliang Kingdom also has two Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Yanyue Sect of Yue Kingdom also has two. As for who is the orthodox one, it is not important. Anyway, if it were not for the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, it would have fallen apart long ago.

Of course, the most important thing is the existence of Yue Kingdom. Otherwise, no matter how reluctant Nangong Wan is, there will inevitably be a struggle for power and a fight, which will cause the Yanyue Sect to suffer heavy losses.

Now! Although they were separated, they were still the Moon-shaking Sect. Not only did they not suffer any losses, but they had grown stronger.

"Junior brother, you are right to be worried. Why don't I go this time? Junior brother, you can stay at the sect and rest for a while."

Nangong Wan nodded slightly and said.

"No, compared to Senior Sister, my magical power is stronger, and it is unlikely that they will come to me in the short term."

Lin Shou shook his head and refused.
After all, he doesn't need to be afraid of anyone now. In this case, he is far better than Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan had just condensed her Nascent Soul not long ago and was not suitable for this situation at all.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother."

Hearing this, Nangong Wan also knew the difference in strength and ability between the two, so naturally she did not force anything and nodded in agreement.

"Senior sister, you are joking. It is best for me to go for this kind of thing."

"However, in order to avoid any accidents, the corpse goblin and the two transformation-stage monsters will stay in the sect. If you have anything to say, just tell them."

Lin Shou said again.

"What? No, they are my helpers. I was able to escape this time thanks to them. How can I stay here?"

Nangong Wanyu's expression changed slightly, and she refused with complete disagreement.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, nothing will happen. They can't let me fight the great master of the Mulan clan!"

Lin Shou joked,
"But... Junior Brother, why don't you take Corpse Xiao with you? She is equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and is enough to help Junior Brother solve a lot of troubles."

Seeing this, Nangong Wan took a step back and said,

"Corpse Xiao, that's fine too."

Hearing this, Lin Shou thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After all, this is indeed a helper.

"Okay, then Junior Brother, take some rest during this time. If you need anything, just let me know."

Seeing this, Nangong Wan felt relieved and said again.

"Yes, I will naturally have a good rest."

Lin Shou naturally would not refuse and agreed.

Afterwards, the two of them studied the form of the Mulan clan's invasion of the Tiannan immortal world this time.

In short, the Mulan clan will definitely return disappointed this time.

After all, the four forces in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world are not pushovers.

Just like that, Lin Shou reluctantly left Nangong Wan's cave and returned to his own cave to rest.

As soon as he returned to the cave and gave Yin Yue several ancient treasures that were suitable for her, Lin Shou fell into a deep sleep and rested.

Whether you are a mortal or a cultivator, sleeping is always the best way to rest.

For cultivators, it is normal to sleep for ten days or half a month at a stretch.

For example, this time Lin Shou slept for more than ten days before waking up.

As soon as he woke up, Lin Shou ordered Yin Yue to open all the formation restrictions in the cave and rearranged several formations. His behavior as if he was facing a powerful enemy made Yin Yue worried and curious?
"Sir, what happened?"

Yin Yue said worriedly.

"Nothing, just meeting a fellow Taoist."

Lin Shou chuckled, then slapped his storage bag. A silver light flashed, and a scroll appeared in his hand. The scroll was several feet long, shining with silver, and extremely simple and ancient.

"Isn't this the portrait of Master Cangkun in the ruins? If it weren't for you, Master, asking me to take everything, I really wouldn't necessarily take something like this."

Seeing this, Yin Yue frowned and became more curious.

"Hehe, luckily you took it away in advance. In fact, things like this are the most important things in the entire ruins."

Lin Shou chuckled and said meaningfully.

"What, this portrait?"

Yin Yue was horrified and said,
He seemed extremely shocked.

Afterwards, Lin Shou did not continue to explain. He then held the scroll up low in the air, then made a solemn gesture, lightly tapped the scroll with his fingers, and with a "click", the scroll quickly opened, revealing the picture inside. The back of a scholar with a long sword on his back, looking up at the sky, appeared on the scroll.

"This……"

"What's this?"

Seeing this scene, Yin Yue became more curious and confused.

"Do I need to invite you personally, or do you want to come out on your own initiative?"

Lin Shou chuckled and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the portrait in the air emitted a bright silver light.

The scholar who had his back to them suddenly turned around and came towards them, revealing a strange face of a middle-aged man with three long beards. His face was cold, but showed a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect you to find me so quickly. No wonder you were able to kill so many Nascent Soul cultivators. You are really amazing! Even I was not as good as you in my time."

The Confucian scholar said coldly,

"This... this... this, is this alive?"

Seeing this scene, Yin Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale and she exclaimed.

"Hey, this isn't alive, is it?"

Lin Shou chuckled.

"That's right, fairy, don't worry. I am just a remnant soul that may dissipate at any time."

The Confucian scholar said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scholar disappeared from the portrait. At the same time, the surface of the scroll began to glow and turned green, with a layer of light appearing on it.

Then, there was a flash of light, and a ball of green light shot out from the light curtain, turning into a vague figure, which was exactly the person who looked like the scholar in the scroll. However, the scholar's body now seemed invisible, composed entirely of turbid gray-white light and shadow, emitting a weak spiritual light, as if it could be blown out with a breath.

This confirmed what he had just said, that it was just a remnant soul that could disappear at any time.

"Yes, yes, yes. I never thought that after so many years, you still have a trace of your soul left. But since you have appeared, why don't you tell us about what happened in the Fallen Demon Valley? After all, you are the only one who has come out alive in all these years. I am still quite curious about your experience. After all, I am now a peak cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. If I want to break through to become a great cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul, the Fallen Demon Valley is a good place, but it is too dangerous and I don't know much about it."

Lin Shou pretended not to know and said anxiously.

"Haha! There is no problem with this, and I can also tell you a great secret. I guarantee that you can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Spiritualization stage."

Hearing Lin Shou's question, the Confucian scholar laughed and said mysteriously.

"Oh! What happened?"

Lin Shou's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.

"Well! Hehe!"

Seeing this, the Confucian scholar chuckled and did not continue speaking.

"What do fellow Taoists want?"

Lin Shou was not surprised at all.

"Nothing, I just hope you can take care of my descendants. Although one of them was killed by you, I believe he still has descendants." The scholar said. He did not blame Lin Shou for killing Nanlong Hou.

"Okay, there's no problem with that."

Lin Shou nodded and agreed. After all, he had searched Nanlonghou's soul a long time ago and knew a lot of things.

This includes the affairs of later generations and the cave.

After all, as a famous independent cultivator in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world, there must be a lot of good things in Nanlonghou’s cave.

Before coming here, Lin Shou did not go directly, but it is not too late to go now.

Because before leaving the cave, Marquis Nanlong opened all the restrictions in his cave. Without him lifting the restrictions, the concubines in the cave would have no chance of leaving.

Once he dies outside, the concubines in the cave will definitely be buried with him.

Therefore, we naturally have to do good things for these Lin Shou.

"Well! Thank you very much, fellow Daoist. In fact, when I entered the Falling Demon Valley before my death, I discovered a shocking secret. That is, there is a Lingmiao Garden left by an ancient cultivator in the Falling Demon Valley. As long as fellow Daoist can obtain this Lingmiao Garden, I believe that breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage is only a matter of time, and it may even be possible to break through to the Spiritualization stage in the future. If I had not been seriously injured and unable to open it, I am afraid that I would have been a Spiritualization stage cultivator by now, or even ascended to the spirit world."

The scholar sighed and said with great regret.

"What Lingmiao Garden? This is really a great opportunity. Haha."

Lin Shou laughed, his face full of smiles, looking extremely happy.

However, Yin Yue frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with the remaining soul of the Confucian scholar Master Cang Kun in front of her, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

He didn't tell Lin Shou directly.

"Okay, okay, thank you for telling me about this matter. As for your descendants, I will take good care of them. I will go to his cave now."

After laughing, Lin Shou stood up and said.

"Well, thank you very much, fellow Taoist." Seeing this, the Confucian scholar seemed to be relieved and expressed his gratitude.

After saying this, he returned to the portrait again.
“This is naturally not a big deal.”

Lin Shou nodded nonchalantly.

"It's nothing important, don't summon me."

After these words were heard in the portrait, everything became ordinary.

Seeing this, Lin Shou put it into a jade box, affixed a high-level talisman on it, and personally planted a ban, then said to Yin Yue.

"If you have anything to say, you can say it now. He can't hear you."

"Sir, I feel that the remaining soul of Master Cangkun is strange and eerie. It feels very wrong."

Yin Yue frowned and spoke out her thoughts.

"Of course there is something wrong with him, but it's not the right time yet. When the time comes, I will deal with him myself."

Lin Shou nodded and smiled.

"So the master has also noticed it. But, does the master really want to take care of the descendants of Nanlonghou?"

Hearing this, Yin Yue, feeling relieved, asked curiously.

"Haha! Nanlong Hou is quite lonely in the underground. Letting his descendants to keep him company must be a good choice."

Lin Shou laughed, his tone full of murderous intent.

Obviously, he would not care about the descendants of his enemies.

Seeing this, Yin Yue felt relieved.

"Okay, let's go meet the descendants of Nanlonghou! Although it's a bit far, it's not a big problem. Also, guess where Nanlonghou's cave is located?"

Lin Shou chuckled and asked back.

"This little Bi...isn't he near the Fallen Demon Valley?"

Seeing this, Yin Yue frowned slightly, and changed the subject before she finished speaking.

After all, as the descendant of Master Cangkun, Nanlong Hou must have always been eyeing the Demon Valley, so it would be most appropriate to place the cave near the Demon Valley.

"Hey, smart."

Lin Shou chuckled and praised.

Dongyu Country is one of the few countries in the Tiannan immortal cultivation world that is not affiliated with the four major forces.

The entire Dongyu Kingdom has a vast territory and rich resources. The reason why it does not rely on any force is mainly due to its geographical location.

In addition to being too far away from the Nine-Nation Alliance and having no connection with it, this country is also closely adjacent to the countries of the other three major forces, and is stuck in the middle.

Under such circumstances, naturally none of the three major forces, the Tiandao League, the Zhengdao League, and the Six Demonic Sects of the Tianluo Kingdom, wanted to give up this country, and they fought openly and secretly for this, but there was still no result. In the end, they could only make a vague agreement that none of the three major forces would interfere in the affairs of the Dongyu Kingdom.

This made Dongyu a neutral country.

In fact, many sects and families in Dongyu Kingdom have already surrendered to and attached themselves to the Righteous Alliance, the Six Demonic Sects of Tianluo Kingdom, or the Heavenly Alliance, in order to gain the secret support of the three major forces.

This has enabled Dongyu Kingdom to maintain a balanced situation for more than a hundred years, allowing many cultivators to regard it as a neutral place and settle down here, making it extremely prosperous.

Nanlong Hou is one of them, but he did not choose Dongyu Kingdom because it was a neutral country, but because of the Demon Valley located in Changzhou of Dongyu Kingdom.

After all, just as Yin Yue thought, the area near the Demon Valley is the most suitable place for the descendants of Nanlong Hou, the Master Cangkun.

Therefore, over the past few hundred years, Marquis Nanlong has always been in the Nanlong Mountains in Changzhou, Dongyu Kingdom. Although the entire mountain range is only a few thousand miles long, it has a good spiritual vein of heaven and earth, which is also an important reason why Marquis Nanlong chose this place.

The immortal cultivation family that had settled here before was also driven away by Marquis Nanlong. Originally, the other party wanted to rely on Marquis Nanlong, but Marquis Nanlong had no intention of accepting them at all.

After all, his secret is not suitable for others to know.
