Immortal Road.

Chapter 458 Lin Hai's Encounter, Invitation from the Elder
Leaving the basin valley and rising into the air, the Red Lake gradually turned into a small dot.

On the way back, four figures walked side by side.

The three second-generation demons were enthusiastically discussing their respective gains, while Lin Shan was looking at the transparent introduction given by the strengthening panel in front of him.

【Lotus seeds】

Quality: Sixth-level spiritual object

Introduction: The lotus seeds produced by the Pure World Red Lotus contain enormous lotus power, which has the effects of transforming bones, improving aptitude, tempering demonic fire, and purifying blood.

Enhancement required: 256 points

"Hiss~ As expected!"

Lin Shan was secretly horrified, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart!
The Red Lotus Ancestor is indeed the most terrifying existence in the human world as stated in the legend. He is a sixth-grade Pure World Red Lotus, comparable to a true transformed demon and comparable to humans with great supernatural powers.

I unexpectedly ran into him this time, and just because I chatted with the old man all night, I received a generous gift.

In the eyes of an existence like the Red Lotus Ancestor, it may not mean much. It is only because Lin Shan, as a listener, provided a little emotional value that he was rewarded with a small gift.

But for him, this is a huge benefit!

He had originally thought that after he got out, he would return to the Lujiang League of Lu State and order his men to collect treasures for blood purification everywhere.

If you really can't find it, you can only go to the forbidden area of ​​the cliff where the demon king Kuihu is to have a look.

Unexpectedly, Patriarch Honglian was so generous that he directly rewarded him with a lotus seed, getting what he wanted in one step!
"The ancestor is the ancestor, awesome!"

Lin Shan was filled with emotion and felt grateful to Patriarch Honglian. Many times, beauty and kindness happen in an instant, without the need for a reason, and completely at the will of the heart. This is the open-mindedness of some truly powerful people in the world of cultivation.

This is true power!

It's just like an ordinary person walking on the street and throwing some dry food to feed the pigeons.

They do not ask for anything in return from the pigeons. They just feel happy and relaxed during their company, so they just sprinkle some water on them. There is no racial barrier between them.

The same is true for people at different levels of cultivation.

If you stand at different heights, you will see different views of the people and things below.

Lin Shan was enlightened. He put himself in the boss's shoes and understood his state of mind. He suddenly became enlightened.

No wonder the ancients often said that reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, meeting different people, and appreciating different scenery. Experience is also a kind of practice. Looking back many years later, it is still an unforgettable journey.

The three second-generation demons next to them were still chattering and laughing. In this late autumn morning, they were filled with the joy of a good harvest.

"Brother Hong Mo, congratulations, what exactly is your Pure Lotus Demon Fire? Use it quickly and let us open our eyes!"

"Hey, don't worry, I just finished refining it, and it will take some time before I can control it freely. Why show it off now? You will have the chance to see it later!"

"Brother Tianwu, how is your blood purification going? Have you returned to your ancestral roots and awakened your bloodline magical powers?"

"No, no, returning to one's ancestral state is a gradual process of transformation, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight. However, I did gain something. I have to return my bloodline magical power to the clan. I will make long-term plans based on my father's arrangements."

"How is Brother Lan Li's demon spirit aptitude? Has it met expectations?"

“Haha, it’s not bad, it’s not bad. I feel that the demon spirit is clear and bright. I’m afraid that the resistance to the transformation of the demon god will be greatly reduced in the future.”

Lin Shan listened to these monsters talking to each other and sharing their experiences, and he also followed their praises, saying that they were worthy of being the young masters of the monster clan, all of them were gifted with natural talents.

The three second-generation demons also turned their gazes to him and asked with concern:

"Brother Lin, what did you harvest from the Demonic Lotus Pond?"

"Uh ahahahaha, thanks to you three, I've gained a lot."

Lin Shan thought about it and decided not to hide it deliberately. After all, the three of them were honest with each other and gave him the opportunity to enter the Demon Lotus Pond to improve himself. It would be bad for him to be hesitant.
So he told him about how he purified his bloodline.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Lin has lofty ambitions and even has the idea of ​​looking forward to an acquired spiritual body. He is indeed worthy of being a young golden elixir."

"Wherever there is."

Lin Shan knew that it was very difficult for the human race to transform into an acquired spiritual body, and it was also very difficult for the demon race to return to their ancestral bloodline.

From what Tianwu said just now, he needs to go back and ask the Demon King to give him some special treatment. It is estimated that activating his bloodline will require many steps, and bloodline supernatural powers cannot be developed just by wanting to.

"Brother Lin, when the three of us were refining the power of the lotus, we seemed to hear some movement at the bottom of the lake. Could it be that you were talking to the person in the lake?"

The three demons asked this question intentionally or unintentionally, and it was obvious that they had all noticed the movement in the lake.

Lin Shan looked at their expressions and it seemed as if they all knew the existence of the Red Lotus Ancestor, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"That's true. Since you three brothers know the one in the lake, why don't you go visit him when you come?"

The three demons shook their heads in unison: "Before we came here, our father gave us an order not to disturb the Red Lotus Patriarch's rest. Just stay up there quietly and absorb the energy."

After hearing this, Lin Shan didn't know what to say. He finally understood why Patriarch Honglian was still so lonely even though there were monsters coming in every two hundred years.

However, the demon kings' instructions are not without reason. After all, the Demon Lotus Pond is where the Red Lotus Ancestor was sealed. Not only do you fence off this place and harvest it every two hundred years, you also keep sending people to disturb us. No one would be safe.

The best way to avoid mistakes is to talk less and do more.

Fortunately, Patriarch Honglian is kind-hearted and fat, and doesn't mind these youngsters coming over to eat and drink for free.

The four of them talked and laughed, and it took them less than a day to head west.

Finally walked out of the red maple forest.

"Brother Lin, if you are not busy, you can come back with us. We will host a banquet for you. Besides, my father and his family are not far away, so we can give you a ride."

Lin Shan instinctively wanted to decline the offer and quickly find a place to get his business done first, to make up for the shortcomings of his spiritual roots and purify his bloodline.

But the next moment a voice came from the front:

"You little brats finally came out. You kept us waiting for a long time!"

Before Lin Shan could react.

“Swish!~~~”

A huge force appeared out of nowhere, and the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth enveloped them. After a dizzying moment, they appeared on a meadow.

Three figures in different attire were sitting there, forming a circle and looking at us with smiles on their faces.

"Father!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

The sky centipede, the red tapir and the blue raccoon came to different people respectively, like young swallows flying into the arms.

The three figures noticed the changes in their own descendants at a glance, and with kind faces, they all said that it was good.

Lin Shan couldn't help but feel nervous, as he thought these must be the three demon kings who controlled the red maple forest.

The degree of local transformation of a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage is also subtle depending on the level of his cultivation.

In general, it seems that the demon king in the middle, who is tall and thin, has a centipede head, wears a tall hat and a yellow shirt, and looks like a scholar, should be the one with the highest cultivation among them.

The three demons reported their progress to their fathers and also introduced Lin Shan.

"Father, this is Brother Lin Shan whom we met inside. He is a disciple of Huang Tu Zhenjun, a Yuanying stage casual cultivator of the human race. We feel quite compatible with each other, so we travel together."

"Huh? A disciple of those old guys from the human race?" The three demon kings had already seen Lin Shan. They ignored him for the time being because they were concerned about their younger generations. However, when they heard that he was a disciple of a human cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, their faces immediately turned ugly.

Lin Shan's heart was pounding and cold sweat instantly wet his back.

The human race's Nascent Soul stage independent cultivators are causing trouble in Luosong Mountains all day long. Don't let this implicate me!

However, as they were demon kings, they did not immediately lower their status to bully the weak, but instead started asking.

"How did he, a human, come to our Red Maple Forest?"

Tian Wu quickly replied, "We have already asked, the ancient phantom tree raised by Brother Lin's master escaped, and we accidentally came in to find it."

"Ancient Phantom Tree?"

The three demon kings all turned to look at Lin Shan.

"Could it be that the old fellow from the human race is up to something again, and is deliberately making up an excuse to send someone in to get a piece of the pie?"

They couldn't help but think so, after all, the powerful humans had a criminal record.

Take advantage of every opportunity and do whatever it takes.

It is possible to deliberately throw the Phantom Ancient Tree into the red maple forest, and then send one's own disciples in, taking advantage of the opportunity to find the treasure tree to get a piece of the pie!
The key point is, how sharp are the demon king's perception and observation?

Lin Shan had just come out of the Demon Lotus Pond less than a day ago, and there was still some residual lotus power on his body. As the young master who had also been there in the past, how could they not notice it?

Wow, these old guys are really good at scheming!

"Ahem, no, the three seniors misunderstood."

Lin Shan was sweating profusely, thinking to himself that he didn't want to meet the Demon King in the first place, but who knew that these three second-generation demons would lead him into a trap.

Red Tapir and Blue Fox quickly explained for him:
"Father, Brother Lin did come in accidentally. He also helped each of us find the Red Jade Spirit Soil. We thought he was generous and righteous, so we brought him into the Demonic Lotus Pond."

"What? The red jade spiritual soil that the Jianjia Demon King needs?"

The three demon kings were surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that their youngster could actually find this thing. It would be ok if only one person found it, but it would be a bit too much if all three of them found it.
Tian Wu continued to help Lin Shan smooth things over:

"And while in the Demonic Lotus Pond, Brother Lin had a very pleasant conversation with the old ancestor at the bottom of the lake!"

"?!!!"

Now not only the three demon kings were confused, even Lin Shan was frightened to the point of beating heart and soul.

Brother, what you said is really nonsense. Who knows what the relationship between these demon kings and the Red Lotus Ancestor is like? If I end up making things worse, won’t I be in trouble?

Fortunately, although the three demon kings were trying to encircle and exploit the Red Lotus Ancestor, they did not seem to have any hostility towards him.

Instead, he turned and looked over.

"Have you spoken to the Red Lotus Patriarch and his family?"

Lin Shan's mind raced, and he made a decision in a short moment, taking out the lotus seed he had just obtained.

"That's right. Before leaving, the ancestor also gave me a lotus seed. Please take a look at it, Senior Demon King!"

The three demon kings were all moved, and nodded after taking a few looks.

"Put it away, and don't show it to others in the future."

Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he had barely passed.

Although the demon kings were hostile to the human Yuanying stage masters, they were more wary of them. Fortunately, they had helped the second generation of demons and received gifts from the Red Lotus Ancestor, so they did not pursue the matter.

Otherwise, he would be in big trouble just for trespassing into the red maple forest.

Seeing that the matter was over, the demon kings worked together to seal off the red maple forest again.

This forest farm is related to the precious land of Demon Lotus Pond, so we naturally cannot be careless.

Not only is it surrounded by formations, but there are also demon soldiers stationed every few dozen miles outside to guard the place, and countless people are keeping watch in secret.

After everything was done, we set off to go home.

Lin Shan thought it was time for him to slip away, and was planning to politely offer his resignation while the other person was free.

The sky centipede, red tapir, and blue raccoon offered advice to the demon kings.

"Father, Brother Lin is not only a powerful disciple of a casual cultivator, but he also served as a soldier under a certain demon king and led a cave of soldiers to fight in battles! How about inviting him to our home as a guest?"

Lin Shan's hands trembled and his face turned green!

You guys, are you done yet? Are you determined to mess with me?

What's so interesting about the demon clan's cave? It's not like he's been there before. When he was in the forbidden area on the cliff, he had been in and out of Hongya Cave several times.

But the other party was very welcoming and obviously wanted to make friends with him.

When the three demon kings heard this, they were not anxious. Instead, they asked him which demon king he had served as a soldier under.

Lin Shan did not dare to delay, so he had to take out the Demon King Order of the Demon King Kuihu and hand it over with both hands.

The three demon kings took it and pondered it, their expressions becoming slightly solemn.

They could clearly feel that the demon king on this token was probably more powerful than them!
"This aura doesn't seem like the demon king from our Luosong Mountains."

"I once served as a military advisor and chief priest under the command of the overlord Kuihu Demon King in the southern part of the forbidden area in the forbidden area of ​​the Swallowing Star Mountains in the northeast of Lu State. This is my fiefdom token."

Lin Shan hurriedly explained and handed over his Ginkgo Cave Master Token. One has to admit that sometimes when you go out, you still need a token to prove your identity, just like your ID card in your previous life. If you lose it, you will be unable to move forward.

"The forbidden area on the cliff, the Kuihu demon king?!"

The three demon kings looked at each other, and the other two looked at the White Centipede Demon King in the middle, waiting for his confirmation.

Two tentacles extended from the tall hat on the head of the White Centipede Demon King, swaying as if he was thinking.

"I know about the forbidden area of ​​the cliff. It is rumored that there is a celestial river in the northern Swallowing Star Mountains. It seems to be located in it."

"But I don't know the specific name of the demon king inside."

"Based on his sensing power alone, this Kuihu Demon King is probably no less powerful than the Peacock King of our Luosong Mountains."

The three demon kings grumbled for a while, and then returned the two tokens to Lin Shan.

Since he had worked in the demon king's tent and was a cave master, he was more or less one of us, so there was less estrangement and his face gradually became kinder.

"My friend, since you are familiar with the demon tribe and have a good relationship with my son, then you can come with us."

Although we are inviting you to be our guest, there is a kind of arrogance in our enthusiasm, as if you are not giving us face by not coming.

"It is better to obey than to be respectful."

How could Lin Shan refuse? He could only accept it with a bitter face.

The Tapir Demon King and the Lan Shu Demon King were standing nearby, and they also smiled and said that he was lucky because they were taking him out to broaden his horizons.

"Right now, in the middle of Luosong Mountain Range, the Reed Monster King is holding a monster convention. If you go early, you can get some thousand-year-old fruits and flower wine!"

"It is said that this old man has a back garden with countless species of plants planted in it, many of which are spirits that have been in existence for thousands of years."

"The corn cob we had last time was really refreshing and delicious."
