Immortal Road.

Chapter 682: First arrogant then respectful, blackmail
"!!!"

The three of them almost suspected that they had heard it wrong. It was the first time they had encountered such a crazy person.

It was clearly the three of us who came to block you, but why do I feel like you're blocking us?
"Master of Liansha Cave, this little shabby place can't be the Liansha Cave you mentioned, it doesn't look that great."

The master of Xiyin Cave sneered sinisterly, fiddling with something with his hands behind his back.

Lin Shan didn't care about his little actions at all, but asked him with a smile.

"How's my Peach Blossom Evil? Is it still useful?"

"Uh-huh, ahem, it's ok.
But the Magnetic Mist Demon and Five Poison Demons you stole from me at the trade fair will all become mine after today!"

The Xiyin Cave Master was a little confused by his question, but when he thought about getting a lot of evil seeds soon, his face was full of anticipation.

Lin Shan smiled and shook his head, and a ball of seven-colored light suddenly appeared in front of him. Those were seven kinds of evil spirits!

"???"

Seeing this, the Xiyin Cave Master opened his mouth wide instantly and could hardly hold back his drool.

"Look at your lack of ability. How can two kinds of evil spirits be enough? I have a total of seven kinds. If you want to take them all, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"

Seven kinds of evil spirits?

The Xiyin Cave Master was trembling all over. This man actually held seven kinds of evil spirits in his hands.
How powerful is that?

Ke Jizi stood up with a smile:
"Master Liansha, we agreed at the trade fair that you would come to my cave as a guest and play with antiques together. Why don't you keep your word?"

Lin Shan showed a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother Dao, what's the logic? You invited me to be your guest, so you have to come to find me. I don't know where your cave is, so how can I find you?"

Ke Jizi knew he was in the wrong, so he took out a totem pole and weighed it in his hand.

"So I'm here to find you now. I took these totem poles back and studied them. I found that they are a combination of sacrifice and conquest from the ancient barbarian tribe period. Do you still have them?"

Lin Shan nodded cooperatively and took out a bunch of things!
"Yes, a lot. This is what I don't lack the least."

One, two, three, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen.
Ke Jizi's eyes widened!

His voice trembled slightly and his throat felt a little blocked.

"That's a lot! What about the accompanying rituals and mystical techniques?"

"Don't worry, we have them all!"

Lin Shan took out a pile of animal skin scrolls and spread them out. Each one matched the given number and was a true fourth-level secret technique.

Kojizi was trembling all over with excitement and thrill.

Each totem pole is comparable to a magic weapon, and with the matching sacrificial spells, it is equivalent to the combination of magic weapons and fourth-level secret arts. There are more than a dozen sets in total!
"Don't worry, I still have more."

Lin Shan didn't stop there and took out the totem pole that he was most comfortable using.

"This is."

Ke Jizi has been collecting antiques for many years, so he has developed a pair of keen eyes and can tell at once that this one is different from the others!
"This pole is made of the remains of a fifth-rank sacred beast, Moya. It is comparable to an ancient treasure. It can be large or small. Its toughness and weight far exceed those of other totem poles. It came from a once large tribe!"

"Comparable to ancient treasures?"

The three of them couldn't help but exclaim, greed in their eyes.

It was the first time that Lin Shan showed off his wealth in front of others, but he seemed very familiar with it. He took out a roll of animal skin and spread it on the ground.

"This is the sacrificial spell of the Moya tribe. When it is released with this totem pole, it is a six-pointed star-like light seal! It can attack, suppress, and seal. It is a trinity and a long-range strike. There are very few people in the Jindan stage who can use this move. I usually don't use it."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

The three of them felt that they had learned a lot and nodded in unison, their eyes broadened.

"Um???"

But we immediately realized something was wrong. This guy was not only in the late Jindan stage, but also had an ancient treasure and such a terrifying secret technique.
It seems I underestimated his strength!
Ancient treasures are something that are out of reach for most Jindan-stage cultivators. When they suddenly appear before their eyes, one can imagine how huge of a shock they have!

Ke Jizi suddenly felt that the totem pole in his hand was a little hot.

"Uh, this"

After he exchanged the two, he went back to study the secret technique and found that they were very powerful. He regarded them as treasures. But others have even more powerful totem poles. How powerful would that be?

The master of Xiyin Cave originally wanted to cause trouble for him and seize the evil seeds, but when he saw that the other party took out seven kinds at once, he was a little afraid to do it!

"You two, you don't look very well?"

In the deep cave, Lin Shan greeted them with concern, worried about their mental state.

Taoist Zhui Yu also realized something was wrong at this time. It seemed that these two people asked me to deal with others, but I found out that the prey was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. The battle was about to fail before it even started!

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked this fellow Taoist about his background yet?"

Lin Shan turned his gaze towards the third party with a curious and inquiring look on his face.

"Uh hahaha, I am a nobody, just an idle cloud and wild crane in the mountains and fields, not worth mentioning."

Taoist Zhiyu laughed dryly and hid behind the two men, but he found that the two men were shaking violently from behind and their necks were covered with sweat, which made him even more panicked.

No, what's going on between you two?

You said you would come and take me to eat meat, why did you back off when we got there?

"Well, that's it."

Lin Shan was calm and composed. He sat cross-legged in front of the three people, looking up at their heads repeatedly, as if he was checking something.

"You three are here now, why are you just standing there? Are you waiting for me to make a move?"

Ke Jiezi's face was changeable, like a July day in the rainy season. The expression was so wonderful!
He originally thought that both the Lord of Liansha Cave and himself were in the late Jindan stage, so they should be about the same in strength. He invited the Lord of Xiyin Cave who was at the peak of the middle Jindan stage and the Taoist Zhiyu, a master of formations. With the three of them working together, they should be able to eat it!
But when I got here I found that it was not the case!
The main reason was that Lin Shan was too calm. He didn't show any fear at all. Instead, he showed them his evil spirit and ancient treasures one by one!
What does this abnormal behavior indicate?
This means that they have even more powerful killer moves hidden, and the fact that they dare to show them to you means they don’t take you seriously!
The evildoer can judge the situation and bend and stretch. He just broke into the room and made a loud noise, but now he is immediately humble and fawning, changing his face at any time.

"Haha, Brother Liansha, why are you saying that? We were just joking with you just now. Actually, I came here today to invite you to visit my cave, so that we can discuss the collection of antiques and cultural relics together."

If you feel you can't win, it's better to go with the flow and make the fake play real.

"Oh?"

Lin Shan not only did not get angry, but was extremely delighted and asked expectantly:

"Invite me to your cave?"

"Brother Dao, is it true?"

Ke Jizi paused, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and almost slapped himself!

I am sick. Bringing this evil star into my home is like inviting a wolf into the house.
"Uh, that, ahem, hehe, of course. But I'm here just to let you know in advance. I haven't cleaned the house yet. You can come after I've finished."

He could hardly speak clearly, he stammered and stumbled, and his smile was uglier than his crying.

After hearing this, Lin Shan was not annoyed, but sighed in disappointment. "Well, since the timing of your visit is not right, it is not convenient for me to force a visit. After all, a gentleman should not be deceived. I hope you didn't lie to me."

Ke Jizi leaned forward cautiously, smiling apologetically. He had not expected him to be so easy to talk to:
"How could that be? Once I have cleaned up the cave, I will immediately invite you to be my guest!"

Lin Shan turned to look at Xiyin Cave Master again:
"Brother Dao, why did you come to see me?"

When Xiyin Cave Master saw that even Ke Jizi, who was in the late Jindan stage, was scared, he cursed in his heart that this guy was unreliable. Why did you ask me to come along when you are so timid? This is cheating!

But on the surface, he is also very aware of the current situation:

"Haha, I actually wanted to let you know that you can come to my cave when you have time to ask me for advice on how to ward off evil spirits in person!"

His mind raced, and he forced himself to come up with a reason.

Lin Shan nodded, as if thinking about something, and said nothing. However, he left them confused. They were sweating profusely, and their hands were shaking with fear.

"You guys are really capable. You even found my temporary residence and came to ask for advice in person. You seem to be very sincere, right?"

The three pretended not to understand the sarcasm and nodded quickly.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Notifying in person shows sincerity."

“Only by asking for advice on the spot can you show respect to your teacher!”

Lin Shan sighed again and pretended to be dissatisfied:
"You said you guys are here, why are you still bringing so many things? Are you being so formal with me?"

"what???"

The three of them stared at each other and looked at what was in each other's hands, confused. What did we get?

Seeing that they were ungrateful, Lin Shan's face immediately turned stern.

"Everyone, you came to visit me on your own initiative. You didn't come empty-handed, did you?"

The three men finally came to their senses and began to feel around on their bodies.

"No, no!"

"Where is there?"

"Of course we have prepared generous gifts!"

Ke Jizi learned at the trade fair that Lin Shan liked antiques, so he took out a large pile for him to choose from.

In order to please the emperor, the master of Xiyin Cave actually took out his own method of warding off evil!

Taoist Zhiyu looked embarrassed and full of resentment. When he called me, he said I should come and eat meat, but in the end I still had to cut meat? ?

"Brother Liansha, please take a look. These are the antiques that I have collected from all over the country of Jin over the years. Take a look and see if there is anything you like or that is handy. Feel free to take it and play with it!"

Lin Shan was very satisfied with Ke Jiezi's attitude. He reached out and touched them one by one. After touching a circle, he found that none of them had ancient charm!

Things like "Mammoth Skeleton", "Lost Chapters", "Dharma Conch Shell", "Rolling Spring Curtain" and "Volcano Key" are all things from the world of cultivation. Who has the time to hunt for them one by one?

"Fellow Daoist Kejizi, you took these things out at the trade fair, right? Do you think it's appropriate to throw them out now to fool me?"

Ke Jizi was sweating profusely and dared not fail to explain.

"I left in a hurry and left my new items at home. I didn't have time to take them with me. If you don't like what you have, can I send you new ones when I get back?"

Lin Shan ignored him and picked up the book of magic to control evil spirits from the master of Xiyin Cave.

【Xuandong Xiyin Technique】

Quality: Fourth-level secret technique

Introduction: Use evil spirits to generate a mysterious cave, absorb the spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth, and breed evil spirits to fight for you. The number and strength of the evil spirits are determined by the user's cultivation level, cultivation, magic power, and the quality of evil spirits.

Enhancement required: 64 points

"Oh?"

Lin Shan immediately saw the usefulness of this book of techniques for controlling evil spirits, which was equivalent to the violent military flow!

Previously, his technique of turning beans into soldiers was not a minor magical spell, and he had never had the right seeds, so it could only linger at the foundation-building stage.

After the great battle at Jiuyao Peak, the seeds looted from Luosong Mountains were completely used up, and he lost the means of this useless legion flow.

Now that I have mastered the art of warding off evil, it is just in time. My seven kinds of evil spirits can generate seven mysterious caves, which are equivalent to seven armies of evil spirits!

It’s a good time to conquer the world of magic cultivation!

"Hahaha, great! Xiyin Cave Master is too polite. This manual is really a timely rain for me. It is very useful to me. I will not refuse it!"

The Xiyin Cave Master smiled awkwardly. He felt relieved but also very uncomfortable. Why did he come here to cause trouble? He not only lost his wife but also his soldiers. Why bother?

Lin Shan turned his head and looked at Taoist Zhiyu again.

The latter had no choice but to take out a formation talisman in consideration of his previous critical eyes.

"This is a one-time array talisman. After it is unsealed, it can be used to activate the small Xuanwei array through the talisman. It has about one-third of the power of an ordinary fourth-level master-level array."

Lin Shan's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

The formation talisman is a good thing. It can release the formation instantly and assist the cultivators in continuous combat. Although it does not have the short burst of power of the small magical talisman, it can control the situation for a long time. It is a good thing!
Moreover, the one who can make this kind of array talisman must have at least the dual skills of array master + talisman master, so it is very rare!
He checked it with the enhanced panel and found no flaws, so he happily put it away.

The expression of Xiyin Cave Master and Ke Jizi changed, and they looked at Taoist Zhiyu with reproach in their eyes, because the situation was not clear yet, could you not give something else? Why did you have to give the formation talisman? Isn't this helping the enemy before the battle?
What should I do if this guy turns against me?
Sure enough, after Lin Shan received the benefits, his true colors immediately showed up and he actually took advantage of the situation!

"Three of you, you are guests. If I don't treat you well, it will be easy for people to gossip about you. How about you stay for a few days?"

The three of them quickly waved their hands, claiming that they had urgent matters at home and needed to go back to deal with them.

Lin Shan lowered his eyelids and was willing to burn his bridges after getting the benefits.

"I let you stay because I respect you. If you insist on leaving, you are not giving me face! If you dare to refuse my respect, don't blame me for using force!"

"What, force?"

The three of them turned pale and took a step back together.

But he found that Lin Shan glanced back at the cave entrance and chuckled.

"Hey, I almost misjudged you. You have a formation master here! This fourth-order formation is well arranged. May I ask which Taoist friend he is?"

Taoist Zhiyu was extremely panicked. Thinking about how the two men in front of him had come with such fierce fangs and claws, he saw that now they had huddled down like a quail. He couldn't help but poke them with his hand.

The two of them didn't move, but turned back to look at him!
Lin Shan understood immediately, and immediately spoke with a kind look and a pleasant expression.

"You are a talented person. Would you like to work for me? The conditions are good and the salary is excellent. I guarantee that you will be able to make the best use of your talents!"
