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

Chapter 42: Save the Beauty or Get Away
If a stunning beauty is in danger and you have the ability to save her, what will you do?
1: A hero saves the beauty!
Two: Get away with it!

And Lin Shou naturally chose without hesitation: 2.

Therefore, just as he was about to take out the primary high-level Mist Hidden Talisman that he had exchanged from Du Jiaoyao last time, he hid his figure and slipped away.

In the devil cloud, the demon cultivator in the Jindan stage who was chasing the stunningly beautiful Nangong Wan also saw Lin Shou, the annoying guy in front of him, and naturally he would not be polite.

With a "bang", a giant python with a black horn, about ten feet in size, rushed out from the huge demon cloud of about ten feet in size, roaring towards Lin Shou with a fierce momentum and murderous aura.

It was not transformed by demonic energy, but a one-horned black python at the peak of level four, which was equivalent to the peak of the late foundation building stage. Even ordinary cultivators in the late foundation building stage would be frightened by such a powerful monster.

Without waiting for Lin Shou to solve the problem, he left. In the red escape light, Nangong Wan gritted her teeth, opened her mouth, and suddenly, a ball of fire rushed out. It was her life-saving magic weapon, the Vermillion Bird Ring.

As soon as the Vermillion Bird Ring left his mouth, it quickly expanded like a balloon being inflated. In just a breath, it turned into a giant flaming bird that was several feet long and flew towards the unicorn-horned black python.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shou's pupils shrank and his expression froze for a moment. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard Nangong Wan's pleasant urging voice.
"Hurry up and leave!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shou threw the Mist Hidden Talisman in his hand out without saying a word.

With a sudden "boom", the area within a radius of ten feet was filled with thick gray-white fog, and even spiritual consciousness could not penetrate into it.

Otherwise, how could the Mist Concealment Talisman be a primary high-level talisman.

At the same time, there was another loud "bang". This was Nangong Wan and the one-horned black python colliding with each other.

The one-horned black python howled and growled in pain after being hit hard, but the energy and fire from the collision between the two also dispersed the mist a little.

When the fog completely dissipated, Lin Shou's figure had long disappeared.

At the same time, Nangong Wan had already taken back the Vermillion Bird Ring and continued to escape. Moreover, she also used the gray-white mist created by Lin Shou's Mist Concealment Talisman to slightly block the magic cultivator in the Jindan stage.

When the devil clouds transformed by Nangong Wan and the devil's Jindan stage cultivator disappeared into the sky, a figure that seemed illusory but with a faint green glow walked out from an ancient tree as thick as a millstone in the forest below them.

It’s Lin Shou!

He did not leave. Since he practiced the "Wood Escape Technique", the only person who was discovered was Du Jiaoyao, a cultivator with a medicinal spirit body, and it was because of the thousand-year-old elixir on his body.

Now that this problem has been solved, there is naturally no need to worry about it.

As for Nangong Wan, even though she had helped before, Lin Shou did not feel much gratitude. He just wished her good luck in getting through this crisis.

But it shouldn't be a problem.

"It's really troublesome. It seems that I can only go back to the cave first."

Looking at the direction where the two people disappeared, Lin Shou sighed softly.

Because the direction the two were heading was the same as his, which was the Shenbingmen market.

Therefore, he could only return to the cave first. He didn't want to be unlucky enough to run into the two people fighting on the road.
It's better to stay as far away from this kind of unfortunate thing as possible and not let him be involved in it at all.

But to be on the safe side, Lin Shou decided to use the "Wood Escape Technique" for the rest of his journey, so as to absorb all the spiritual energy from the ancient trees in the mountains and forests along the way to make up for the consumed true energy and magic power.

Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing!
After having this idea, Lin Shou began to use the "Wood Escape Technique" to hide in the ancient tree again and headed towards the Taiyue Mountains in the Huangfeng Valley of Jianzhou, Yue State.

Unless there were no longer mountains and forests on the way, he would use other means to continue his journey and try to return to the cave as soon as possible.

……

Just like that, three days later, Lin Shou successfully returned to his cave residence. After a short rest, he began to sort out the harvest. Three spiritual trees: one five-hundred-year-old cloud green tree and two four-hundred-year-old yellow dragon-patterned trees.

Top-level wood-attribute magical instruments: three pieces.

Spirit Stones: 10 mid-level Spirit Stones, 500 low-level Spirit Stones

Wood attribute materials: fifteen pieces.

Wood attribute talisman: one piece.

Talismans: two hundred.

"I should be able to hold out for about two months. It was really hard! I almost got into trouble. I hope I won't run into the same thing again next time."

After sorting out the harvest, Lin Shou returned to his own stone resting room and had a sound sleep.

He hasn't had a good rest these days as he has been worried all the time. Now that he is back in the cave, he needs to have a good rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lin Shou opened his eyes and continued to practice as usual.

According to previous rules, it starts with spirit stones, followed by materials, top-level magic tools, and finally spirit wood.

……

Time flies, and a month has passed in a flash.

Perhaps it is because of the breakthrough to the middle stage of foundation building, the speed of cultivation and the consumption of cultivation resources have also doubled.

The resources that were originally estimated to be used up in two months were completely consumed in less than one month.

Therefore, Lin Shou could only use the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" to continue to ripen a batch of spiritual medicines and go out to exchange for trading resources. It was just in time for him to go to the Shenbingmen Market to finish what he had not done last time.

After quietly leaving the Taiyue Mountains in the Huangfeng Valley, Lin Shou headed all the way towards the Shenbingmen market without any intention of stopping, and this time he also used the "Wood Escape Technique".

Therefore, the ancient trees in the mountains and forests along the way suffered again, and their spiritual energy was absorbed by Lin Shou again.

A few days later, Lin Shou, feeling refreshed, arrived at the Shenbingmen Market.

This was of course not his first time coming to the Shenbingmen Market; on the contrary, he was already quite familiar with it.

Therefore, he easily exchanged some of the hundreds or thousands of years old elixirs on his body for the necessary wood-attributed spiritual stones, spiritual wood or materials.

Of course, it unsurprisingly attracted the attention of some people, but this was also something Lin Shou was accustomed to.

Therefore, he just pretended not to know and quietly left the Shenbingmen market, then used the "Wood Escape Technique" to leave silently, leaving the cultivators behind with intentions to come to him empty-handed, and they cursed again.

As for Lin Shou, it was time to leave the Yue Kingdom's immortal cultivation world, or more precisely, the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.

Regarding the mineral veins that lead to the teleportation array in Chaos Star Sea, he has already found several of the most likely mineral veins. He just needs to explore and search for them. Once he finds them, he can leave.

The elixirs he sold had caused quite a stir and attracted the attention of many cultivators, including some in the Jindan stage.

Fortunately, the time was not long and the quantity was not large. They were just ordinary spiritual medicines that were hundreds of years old or thousands of years old, and they had not yet aroused the interest of Nascent Soul cultivators.

But he had to leave. Compared with the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, the Chaos Star Sea was obviously more suitable.

But when he returned to the cave, he found an uninvited guest!
