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

Chapter 40 The Demonic Spy Who Wants Lin Shou's Life

Looking at Brother Lu who left with his head down, angrily looked at him with resentment in his eyes, the two Murong brothers had no time to be happy.

After seeing his two senior brothers and sisters, Nie Ying and Lin Shou, landing, his round, chubby and cute face instantly fell, and he smiled in a flattering way.

"Big Brother!"

"Senior Sister Nie Ying!"

"We were wrong!"

His attitude was sincere and his tone was genuine, but this could not eliminate the coldness and anger on Lin Shou and Nie Ying's faces.

"Go back and practice. You are not allowed to come out until you break through the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Before Lin Shou could even open his mouth to mention the punishment, Nie Ying had already scolded him in a cold voice.

"Oh! Yes."

After hearing what Nie Ying said, the Murong brothers looked at each other and left dejectedly.

After dealing with the two brothers, Nie Ying turned her head slightly and looked at Lin Shou, then smiled, making everything around her pale in comparison. She said with her almond-shaped lips slightly parted, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for saving the two brothers. Otherwise, if anything happened to them, I really don't know how to explain it to Master and the sect."

"Junior Sister Nie, you are too polite. With their abilities, they should be able to protect themselves. I just happened to be there. It's nothing serious. But from now on, you must teach them well and don't let such dangerous things happen again. Otherwise, I really won't be able to explain to Master."

Lin Shou reminded with a serious expression.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother."

Nie Ying bowed and said respectfully.

She looked at Lin Shou with a complicated look. She wanted to say something but just moved her red lips slightly and didn't say anything.

These few years made her realize that Lin Shou had no interest in her at all.

To be precise, apart from meeting Nie Ying when he paid a visit to Lei Wanhe, Lin Shou had been either practicing in seclusion or going out to look for resources in recent years, and had no time to pay attention to other things.

Whether it is Nie Ying, Chen Qiaoqian or Dong Xuaner, they are all within his consideration as a Taoist partner.

Even if he wanted to be a Taoist partner with a woman, it couldn't be one of these three. He didn't like the fact that they were too involved with the immortal cultivation families behind them.

"Well! It's getting late. I'll go back to practice first. Junior sister, you should also practice diligently and build your foundation as soon as possible." After saying this, Lin Shou left as Nie Ying bowed respectfully and saw him off.

Seeing Lin Shou disappear into the sky in the emerald green light, Nie Ying's stunningly beautiful face, which countless male disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley had dreamed of kissing, showed a rare hint of resentment.

She felt that Lin Shou seemed to be deliberately avoiding her and didn't want to have anything to do with her.

If it were any other male disciple of Huangfeng Valley, Nie Ying would naturally be happy to do so, but Lin Shou was different. When she thought of the instructions given by her family elders and Lei Wanhe, she felt a headache.

She also didn't want to form a Taoist partner with just anyone else, but Lin Shou was the elder of the Nie family, and Lei Wanhe specifically mentioned the candidate to consider.

Instead of becoming a Taoist couple, it will be of great benefit to her and the entire Nie family.

As for Nie Ying, she naturally knew everything, but she didn't want to be manipulated by her family.

"Big Brother is right. Only by building a foundation as quickly as possible can we have the ability to negotiate with the family."

Nie Ying thought silently in his heart, and then, under the reluctant gazes of other male disciples of Huangfeng Valley, he turned into a beam of fiery red light and left.

The farce ended here, and the world was completed where only "Senior Brother Lu" was injured.

For a while, it became a joke among all the Qi Refining disciples in the Yellow Maple Valley. After all, being slapped in the face by someone was definitely funny.

“Lin Shou, damn Lin Shou, isn’t he just a natural spiritual root, in the foundation building stage? Wait, wait until I break through the foundation building stage, and I will make you pay the price.”

On this day, Senior Brother Lu once again cursed Lin Shou with resentment in his room.

"So you want revenge?"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like the sound of nature and yet was full of temptation like a devil's voice rang out.

"Who? Come out!"

Hearing this, Senior Brother Lu's face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily at the cowardly person at the door.

"I!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of his room was pushed open, and then a familiar figure appeared.

"Uncle Zhao, you..."

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a kind face. In fact, in the minds of many Qi-refining disciples of Huangfeng Valley, this middle-aged man, Uncle Zhao, was indeed a manager who treated the disciples of the sect very well.

If Master Zhong of Huangfeng Valley passed away and the Qi Refining disciples of Huangfeng Valley were asked to choose the next master, most of them would choose Uncle Master Zhao. It is conceivable how popular Uncle Master Zhao is.

"Uncle Zhao, what do you mean by revenge? Why don't I understand?"

Senior Brother Lu stared at "Uncle Zhao" with a pale face.

He had long heard that each sect had spies sent by other sects, and one of the purposes of these spies was to kill the disciples with excellent spiritual roots and aptitude in the sect.

As a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage of Huangfeng Valley who ranks in the top ten in terms of aptitude and has a wind-attributed spiritual root, he is naturally their target.

Therefore, he was naturally extremely nervous, yet also somewhat expectant.

Because the "Uncle Zhao" in front of him had just asked him if he wanted to take revenge. And the target of revenge was naturally Lin Shou.

As long as he can kill Lin Shou, this foundation-building disciple with a natural spiritual root.

Foundation Establishment Stage. When he thought that Lin Shou was a disciple in the Foundation Establishment Stage, most of the thoughts that had just arisen in his mind disappeared.

"You must have known what I was going to ask you to do. So, will you agree or choose to die?"

"Don't worry, no one in the sect will know that I'm here. Even if you have a wind-attributed spiritual root, you are still just a Qi Refining disciple. So even if you go missing, it won't cause too much trouble."

"After all, you are not Junior Brother Lin Shou who has the talent of a natural spiritual root."

"Uncle Master Zhao" said with a smile. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but what made Brother Lu feel sick was that he actually felt the charm of a woman in "Uncle Master Zhao".

This really made him feel sick, but he dared not show it. Instead, he was filled with panic and fear, and then he chose "life" without hesitation.

"Disciple agrees. Uncle Master, please tell me how to kill him. After all, I am only a Qi Refining Stage disciple."

"After you take the Foundation Establishment Pill, you will naturally become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Remember, if you haven't established your foundation, you don't need to live. This is a Soul Devouring Powder. Once you take it, I only need to think about it and you will disappear into thin air."

As soon as "Uncle Master Zhao" opened his palm, a gray pill suddenly appeared, emitting a pungent fishy smell that made Brother Lu shudder. However, under the gaze of "Uncle Master Zhao", he had to pretend to be calm and suppress the fear in his heart, then he picked up the pill and swallowed it into his body.

"Yes, that's right!"
