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

Chapter 86 Help from Mrs. Wen
After leaving Miaoyin Gate, Lin Shou naturally went around various shops and chambers of commerce in Tianxing City, looking for various spiritual woods.

After all, for a cultivator in the Jindan stage, his natal magic weapon is always the most important treasure.

He was no exception, and based on his past experience, if he refined his own magical weapon, it would definitely be filled with good stuff.
With this motivation, Lin Shou naturally worked harder and more dedicatedly.

As for Lin Shou's request, Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng adhered to the principle of making friends with Lin Shou, a Jindan stage cultivator, and also did their best.

Soon they found the "Golden Thunder Bamboo" that Lin Shou needed. Of course, it was only a thousand-year-old White Thunder Bamboo, and it was far from growing into the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Otherwise, the entire Chaos Star Sea will inevitably be engulfed in bloody turmoil again.

After all, it was because of a piece of golden thunder bamboo that Master Xuan Gu Xiao Cha caused a bloody storm that lasted for more than ten years.

Moreover, it was just an incomplete piece of Golden Thunder Bamboo. If it was the real Golden Thunder Bamboo.

One can imagine how much blood and gore this will cause.

Even the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars, the Six Paths Supreme Saint, and Aunt Wan San, the four great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, might take action.

Especially for the Twin Saints of Tianxing, if they were in Tianxing City, it would be impossible to let them leave Tianxing City.

Because the two of them were practicing the Yuanci Divine Light, they couldn't leave Tianxing City at all.

If Jin Leizhu leaves Tianxing City, he will basically have nothing to do with Xinggong.

Of course, this kind of thing is naturally impossible to happen.

On this day, after learning that Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng had obtained the "Golden Thunder Bamboo", Lin Shou rushed to the Miaoyin Gate in Tianxing City as quickly as possible.

After a few simple greetings and pleasantries, Zhou Yuan smiled sweetly, took out a strange box with her delicate hands and placed it on the table.

The reason why this box is strange is that it is neither made of wood nor gold, and it does not seem to be made of jade or something like that. It is translucent in color and has a layer of light blue.

"This is?"

Seeing this, Lin Shou frowned and asked curiously,
"This box is made of something called Gaoyu. Although it has the word 'jade' in its name, it is not actually jade and is not one of the five elements. Only this thing can preserve the Tianlei Bamboo that I told Brother Zhao about earlier for a long time without worrying about the spiritual energy leaking out."

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan continued to smile and explained.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work, fellow Taoists."

Hearing this, Lin Shou suddenly realized and remembered this thing.

At this time, Zhou Yuan had already stretched out her jade fingers to open the box.

There was only a short piece of ordinary dead bamboo in the box, about two inches long, as thick as a little finger, with some obviously shriveled roots.

"Is this the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo you two are talking about?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Shou blinked and showed an expression of disbelief. Although he believed that the two would not lie to him, the scene before him made it difficult for him not to be suspicious.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, wait a moment."

Hearing this, Wang Heng chuckled. He was not angry because of Lin Shou's suspicion. Instead, he took out a dagger and with a "bang", he chopped the "dead bamboo" in the box. At the moment the blade touched the bamboo, a thin arc of electricity appeared on the surface of the bamboo, which immediately bounced the dagger away.

"It is indeed the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. Thank you, fellow Taoists. How much is this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in spirit stones? Please make your bids."

Seeing this scene, Lin Shou's face naturally showed joy and he quickly spoke.

"Brother Lin, you are joking. It is just a thousand-year-old Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. It is not worth many spirit stones. However, my husband and I have an unwelcome request. I hope Brother Lin can agree to it."

After listening to Lin Shou's words, Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng looked at each other before speaking.

"I'm sorry, but could you two please speak?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lin Shou nodded thoughtfully.

"To be honest, Brother Lin, my husband and I have a daughter named Wang Ning. I think my spiritual roots are pretty good, so I want to become Brother Lin's disciple. I wonder if Brother Lin would agree?"

Wang Heng proposed a condition that surprised Lin Shou.

"Apprenticeship?"

After hearing what Wang Heng said, Lin Shou was shocked. He thought that Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan wanted him to become a guest elder of Miaoyin Sect, but he never expected that they wanted Fairy Zi Ling to become their disciple.

"This... I have just formed my elixir. Is it inappropriate for me to be your disciple?"

After a long while, Lin Shou smiled bitterly.

This is really the truth. He has just formed his elixir and has not yet refined his own magic weapon. It is really not suitable for him to be your disciple.

"Brother Lin should be less than a hundred years old, right?"

After hearing Lin Shou's words, Wang Heng suddenly said something that surprised Lin Shou.

This is true!
"How did Brother Wang know?"

Hearing this, Lin Shou frowned and asked.

"To be honest with you, Brother Lin, I have practiced a pupil technique that allows me to see the approximate bone age of others. That's why I can know Brother Lin's age."

Wang Heng explained with an apologetic look on his face.

"So, this is why you two want your daughter to be my disciple."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Shou suddenly realized and said with relief,
Forming a pill at the age of 100 is of extraordinary significance in the world of immortal cultivation. It is almost equivalent to the Nascent Soul seed. There is a great chance of condensing the Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng want their daughter Fairy Zi Ling to become Lin Shou's disciple.

The purpose is to find a strong backer for his daughter.

And there is no doubt that Lin Shou is a good backer.

"As long as Brother Lin agrees, our Miaoyin Sect will give Brother Lin tens of thousands of spirit stones as an offering every year."

Zhou Yuan added that this treatment was not bad at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists. I have no plans to recruit disciples now, so please pay with spirit stones for this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo!"

Hearing this, Lin Shou smiled bitterly and shook his head to refuse.

He really doesn't want to play the game of accepting disciples now, even if the other party is the future most beautiful woman in Chaos Star Sea or the most beautiful woman in Tiannan.

Beauty is a disaster, and this is no joke.

He doesn't want to cause trouble!
Especially this kind of right and wrong that can be considered groundless.

"In that case, it was the two of us who were reckless. This Heavenly Thunder Bamboo should be regarded as our apology for our sins."

Wang Heng looked apologetic and bowed to apologize.

"This... this is fine. This is 10,000 spirit stones. It should be enough."

Seeing this, Lin Shou could only sigh in his heart and spoke.

After saying that, he took out ten thousand spirit stones and placed them on the table. Then, he put the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo into his storage bag, stood up and said goodbye and left.

"My dear, this fellow Daoist Lin is really a decisive person!"

After Lin Shou left, Zhou Yuan said with a wry smile.

She didn't expect that Lin Shou would be so direct and leave without giving her any face.

This is really unexpected. It's really too unexpected.

"Ugh!"

"I can only say that our Ning'er does not have the good fortune to become Brother Lin's disciple. However, which sect did Brother Lin come from? Forming a pill before the age of 100, this does not seem to be something that a casual cultivator can do."

Wang Heng frowned and guessed.

The entire world of immortal cultivation knows how hard life is for independent cultivators. Even for high-level independent cultivators, few can condense a golden elixir and advance to the Jindan stage before the age of 100.

"Maybe Brother Lin has a great opportunity! Anyway, you and I should do our best to make friends. After all, he succeeded in forming a pill before the age of 100. As long as he doesn't die prematurely, he will have a great chance of condensing his Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. We can also use this favor to help Ning'er find a backer."

Zhou Yuan nodded slightly and said.

"That's right. Now you and I just need to do our best to make friends with Brother Lin, and don't worry about anything else. Otherwise, we will make enemies and anger Brother Lin, which will not be a good thing for the entire sect."

Wang Heng also nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan discussed specific strategies for making friends.

Including but not limited to offerings of spiritual stones, materials, concubines and beauties...

Lin Shou naturally had no idea about these, but he could guess that Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng would not miss any opportunity to make friends with him.

Forming a pill before the age of 100 is of great significance in the world of immortal cultivation. Even Lin Shou himself felt extremely happy, not to mention Zhou Yuan and Wang Heng.

And now he has obtained the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, although it is only a thousand years old.

However, relying on the "Spring Breeze and Rain Technique" in "The Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art", it must not be difficult to ripen it into a thousand-year-old golden thunder bamboo.

However, this is only one of the most important spiritual wood materials. He still needs to collect other spiritual woods, and the more the better.

Only in this way will the power of his natal magic weapon: the Green Emperor's Ten Thousand Woods Sword Formation become stronger and stronger, and it will naturally be of greater help to what he will do later.

Therefore, Lin Shou continued to look for various spiritual wood materials in various shops, stores, and chambers of commerce in Tianxing City.

Of course, he will visit not only Tianxing City, but also several transit islands and cities near Tianxing City.

Although the harvest was not satisfactory, it was not a complete failure!

In this way, Lin Shouguang spent more than three to five years collecting spiritual wood materials.

The final harvest was not small. In addition to the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, more than fifty kinds of spiritual trees were collected, although most of them were spiritual tree seedlings about a hundred years old.

But for Lin Shou, who was practicing the "Green Emperor Wood Emperor Art", it was completely enough.

In addition to collecting and purchasing, Lin Shou still did not forget to ripen these spiritual woods in the cave in the Holy Mountain, and even delayed the ripening of the spiritual medicines at one point.

However, compared to refining his own magic weapon: the Green Emperor's Ten Thousand Trees Sword Formation, all of this is worth it.

Moreover, the time he spent and wasted was considered short for any Jindan-stage cultivator who was preparing to refine his own magical weapon.

But this is just the beginning. According to the spiritual wood materials needed for the "Green Emperor's Ten Thousand Woods Sword Formation", the minimum age requirement is that at least ten thousand year old spiritual wood is needed.

The ten thousand year old spiritual wood was not unique in the entire human world, but it was also a rare material in the world. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would fight for it.

Not to mention, what Lin Shou needs is not just one or two, but a bunch.

Therefore, the spiritual wood materials he is collecting and purchasing now are far from enough in terms of quantity and age.

The minimum requirement for the "Green Emperor's Ten Thousand Trees Sword Formation" is ninety-nine and eighty-one thousand-year-old spiritual wood materials.

However, Lin Shou is still far from obtaining the ninety-nine and eighty-one thousand-year-old spiritual wood materials.

……

Holy Demon Island

In the Six Extremes Temple, the questioning voices of the Six Extreme Saints, mixed with cold murderous intent and anger, rang out once again.

"Still no news?"

For many years, Liudao Jisheng has sent people to search for clues about the death of his disciple, but there are no clues.

"Your Majesty, the person who killed the young master is not in the inner sea, but went to the outer sea. There is no news so far. We really don't know where to track him down. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The monks of the Six Pole Holy Temple have said the same words countless times, but they still have to say them again.

After all, the Chaos Star Sea is so vast, how could they track down the cultivator who killed Wen Tianren?

There were some clues in the past, but after so many years, those clues have long been useless.

"Waste, what waste."

The Six Paths Supreme Saint was furious and said angrily once again,

Others thought that he valued his disciple Wen Tianren very much, but in fact, Wen Tianren was the best candidate for him to keep as his incarnation.

You know, whether it is spiritual root qualification or bloodline, it is too difficult to find another "Wen Tianren". In the past ten years, there has been no second suitable candidate.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry.

"Investigate, keep investigating. Even if he is dead, you must find out for this Saint."

The Six Paths Supreme Saint continued to give orders.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

……

Lin Shou naturally knew that the Six Paths Supreme Saint had been sending people to track him down and kill him, but he didn't care much about it.

With his current magical powers, he would not be able to cause any harm unless the opponent was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so there was naturally no need to worry about anything.

What's more, Lin Shou rarely leaves Tianxing City.

Although there is some chaos in Tianxing City, the monks from Holy Demon Island and other demon sects dare not act recklessly in Tianxing City, so safety can be basically guaranteed.

The premise is that your identity will not be exposed.

But for Lin Shou, this was not a difficult task.

On this day, Lin Shou just came out of Helian Business Alliance, one of the four major business alliances in Tianxing City, and saw an acquaintance facing him.

Mrs. Wen!
Dressed in white and with a cool and clear temperament, she is eye-catching but one dares not look directly at her.

This is nonsense. This is a Nascent Soul cultivator. How many people dare to look at him directly?

However, Lin Shou is one of them.

Because the two of them still have some friendship.

"Senior, what are you doing here at the Helian Merchant Alliance? Do you need my help?"

Under the surprised gazes of several people, Lin Shou stepped forward and asked.

Over the past few years, Mrs. Wen had met him more than once and had also traded several types of spiritual wood, so their relationship was naturally quite good.

"I need a few materials, but I already have them. Are you still looking for spiritual wood materials to refine your life-saving magic weapon?"

Mrs. Wen's voice was cold and kept people at a distance.

However, Lin Shou was already used to it, so he nodded without paying any attention.

"Yes, the spiritual wood that the senior gave me before is good, but the quantity is not enough, so I still need some spiritual wood materials."

Lin Shou explained with a wry smile.

"How many more do you need?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen frowned and asked.

“Three or five kinds!”

Lin Shou hesitated for a moment and said.
