Chapter 684: Silver Evil Source, Swallowing and Drinking

The three of them were unable to resist and were so shocked when they saw Xing Mansion.

"Dongtian magic weapon!"

"Who are you, and what are you arguing about?"

There was a crisp sound coming from the attic, and the little fox girl opened the window and looked down.

Lin Shan waved for her to come down.

"That's perfect. I'll appoint you as the steward of Xing Mansion. You'll take care of these three guys first and make sure they don't desert."

The little fox girl pursed her lips and agreed reluctantly, looking unhappy.

Lin Shan and Xiyin Cave Lord obtained the antidote for the Huagong wine and released their own magical powers, but they did not confiscate the three people's property.

The first is of course that I look down upon their belongings, and the second is that I want to use them for my own purposes in the future, so I can’t do anything extreme.

After taking back the Star Mansion, he began to focus on restoring his soul power.

What happened today was quite beyond his expectations. Three ordinary cultivators came up to him. If he had not had two elixirs in his hands and his magic power was sealed, he might have really been in trouble!

These three people all have their strengths and are talented, but due to their status as demons, it is inconvenient for him to bring them into the Xun Gu Sect. It just so happens that Brother Ji's Kun Sect is short of manpower, so he brings them along this time.

He also began to ponder the "Xuan Dong Xi Yin Shu".

three days later.

Somewhere in the deep mountains and old forests of eastern Shanxi.

Lin Shan was walking in a deep valley, looking at the neatly arranged medicinal fields around him, with many apprentices taking good care of them.

"Friend Xiyin is indeed a master of medicine. There is such a large medicine valley behind the cave. Have these apprentices learned anything like you?"

"No, this thing requires talent."

The Xiyin Cave Master bowed beside him and accompanied him, telling Lin Shan that although the art of pharmacy and alchemy were the same in terms of identifying herbs and understanding pharmacology, making potions and refining elixirs were two different concepts.

Alchemy requires the temperature, the technique, and even the furnace equipment and the characteristics of the spiritual fire.

To make medicine, no alchemy furnace or spiritual fire is needed; it only requires mixing, fusion, extraction, and occasional cooking over a low fire.

Alchemy is suitable for slowly refining in a quiet place where no one is around, while potions can also be quickly prepared temporarily during a fight!
Moreover, potions are mostly used for assistance and instant benefits on the battlefield, while alchemy tends to be more logistical.

However, many of the medicinal effects of the two can be replaced by each other, and neither is better than the other. It's just that most potions are used at a low level and are not well-known in high levels.

"Well, you can keep some of these apprentices to guard the lair, and keep the others with you, so they can help you run errands occasionally."

Lin Shan set aside some places and put them into the Star Mansion.

"Huh? What is this?"

He suddenly saw a small silver pond in the field, and there seemed to be a black lotus on it.

The Xiyin Cave Master explained:
"This is the Silver Evil Spring, a treasure spring naturally found in my Xiyin Cave. Anything placed in it for a few days will have the Silver Evil attribute, making it suitable for me to make medicines to ward off evil spirits."

"The black lotus inside is also a native evil species of Xiyin Cave, named Demon-Suppressing Evil!"

"This evil is extremely powerful and can contain all evil spirits. I have tried for a long time, but because I practice magic, I have no way to subdue and refine it. I can only let it grow in the Silver Evil Fountain."

"Brother Liansha, if you are interested, you can try it. Maybe I can add another powerful evil spirit to you."

The Lord of Xiyin Cave felt his heart bleeding, because the thing that suppressed the demon was the treasure in his collection, and although he had no way to take it back, he didn't want to give it to others.

But now my life is controlled by someone, and I have no choice but to offer sacrifices to please him.

"Oh?"

Lin Shan became interested and directly waved his hand to pick it. The black lotus in his hand was not a plant, but a real evil species, which was identified by the enhanced panel.

【Demon Suppression】

Quality: Fourth-level evil species

Introduction: The treasure evil spirit born from the Silver Evil Source can effectively suppress all evil nature, including evil cultivators, evil creatures, evil spirits, evil plants, evil stones, etc.

(Note: Suppressing evil does not distinguish between friend and foe)
Enhancement required: 64 points

"Great!"

How could Lin Shan not understand now? The Demon-Suppressing Evil was a murderous aura specially created to target the demons. Once it was refined, it would be invincible when dealing with the demons in the future!
It’s a pity that the master of Xiyin Cave happened to be a demon cultivator, so he was unable to subdue the evil spirit and left it to him in vain!

"The Silver Evil Spring actually gave birth to two kinds of evil spirits, and the other one is my Silver Mercury Evil. If we give them another thousand years, I'm afraid they will have a chance to grow into a fifth-level evil spirit! It's a pity that time waits for no one, and we can't afford to waste it."

The Xiyin Cave Master sighed deeply. Over a thousand years, the world has changed drastically. The mortal dynasties have changed several times, and the world of cultivation has been turbulent. Even those in the Nascent Soul stage have to wait until they pass away.

Lin Shan seemed to be thinking about something. He had seen the power of the Silver Mercury Evil before. It was the most powerful of all the evil energies of the Xiyin Cave Master and was one of the top fourth-level evil energies.

The Demon-Suppressing Evil should be similar.

In his opinion, he was indeed not far from becoming a fifth-level evil species. The Silver Evil Spring was indeed a divine spring!
It’s a pity that a thousand years is too long and he can’t afford to wait.

"I remember hearing rumors that you seem to have mastered a magic method of planting seeds on the ground. Is it true or not?"

"It's true."

The Xiyin Cave Master was a little embarrassed and led Lin Shan to another field.

There is only one Ganoderma lucidum planted in this field, and no other medicinal herbs.

"This is."

In Lin Shan's spiritual sense, this Ganoderma lucidum has no life, but it is definitely growing, and an inexplicable sweet and sour smell is brewing around it.

"This is Lingzhi Sha, also a fourth-level Sha species, but it cannot participate in the battle, but only consumes Sha species."

"Edible evil?"

"Yes, you can eat it! It can be used as medicine! It has a wide range of uses. It can heal injuries, restore health, and nourish the body. However, it will consume the essence of the evil seed."

The master of Xiyin Cave pointed to the canal that came from the Silver Evil Spring.

"After I accidentally discovered that this spring could add the silver evil spirit attribute to any object, I connected it with the birth of the silver mercury evil spirit and the demon-suppressing evil spirit, and I had the crazy idea to put my own evil spirit into it to cultivate it."

"After observation, I found that Lingzhi Sha can indeed transform!"

"This evil spirit was originally just a second-level evil spirit that my disciples picked in the mountains and forests. Now it has grown into a fourth-level evil spirit, but it will take a long process to grow further."

"I often use it as medicine now, and after using it up, I will continue to plant it here to restore my essence."

Lin Shan seemed to understand.

"In other words, the evil planting method circulated in the outside world actually relies on the irrigation of the Silver Evil Spring?"

"Uh, yes."

The Xiyin Cave Master had a slightly embarrassed look on his face, but this was also to keep the spiritual spring secret and to give himself some luster.

If others knew that he was a casual cultivator occupying such a good spiritual spring, he would definitely cause trouble, so it was necessary to fabricate rumors appropriately.

"Well, Xiyin Cave is a good place, and the Silver Evil Spring is equally precious, so we have to seal it up well."

If they leave in the future and can't take the Silver Evil Source with them, it would be a waste of God's gift.

But this thing is connected to the terrain, and they don't have the ability to collect it, so they can only leave it here first and see if there is a way to pack it up later.

If you want to pack a spiritual spring and carry it with you on the road, you must migrate and take root in the Lingbao Cave Heaven! As a cave heaven magic weapon, Xingfu may not be able to carry it. By then, the spiritual energy will leak out and dry up in a few days.

"How about I kill all my apprentices first, so that they won't leak the news later?"

The Xiyin Cave Master had a fierce look in his eyes, fearing that his lair would be sold after he left, so he actually came up with such a dirty trick!

Lin Shan paused and said nothing.

Anyway, those apprentices have nothing to do with him. The Lord of Xiyin Cave is the master of this place. If a master wants his apprentice to die, that is their internal matter.

Before leaving, he collected some spring water and tried to identify it using the enhanced panel, and there really was a result!
【Silver Evil Spring Water】

Quality: Fourth-level spiritual liquid

Introduction: The essence of the Earthly Evil evolves, the spirit veins dissolve and volatilize, with evil spirit characteristics, catalyzing the origin of evil spirits.

Enhancement required: 64 points

Fourth-level spiritual fluid?

This spring is bottomless, what is it all about?

Lin Shan suddenly remembered that the daily rations of the Void Butterfly were based on fourth-level spiritual liquid, and he didn't know if it would suit the little fellow's taste.

If it's suitable, then you can just carry some more with you.

He sent the Silver Evil Spring water into the spirit beast ring. The sapling of the ancient Phantom Spirit Tree was sleeping soundly, and the little butterfly was still transforming in the cocoon. The place was silent and empty.

Suddenly, the sapling seemed to sense something and woke up all of a sudden!
Especially when he saw the Silver Evil Source right in front of him, he picked it up with a branch without saying a word, and the trunk of the tree suddenly opened a big mouth!
"Gutontontonton~~~"

Drink it all in one gulp!

Lin Shan was stunned!

Then, the sapling suddenly jumped up, and hundreds of legs ran around in the spirit beast ring, with branches flying around as if calling for something.

"You want to drink the Silver Evil Spring water?"

Lin Shan asked it through his spiritual consciousness, and the sapling immediately tapped its branches vigorously, making a continuous rustling sound.

The Lord of Xiyin Cave was still beside him at this time, his face changing constantly, wondering whether to kill someone or not.

Suddenly, I heard a plop!
There was a flash of green light before my eyes, and something fell into the spring!

"Ok?"

He rubbed his eyes violently, almost thinking he was dazzled.

I just caught a glimpse of it, and it looked like a tree?
Lin Shan was waiting outside. He didn't know why the Phantom Ancient Tree was suddenly thirsty. Maybe he really hadn't watered it in recent years, because in the past watering was the job of the three evil brothers.

Ever since the three brothers were left to Brother Ji, the little sapling has been in a dormant state.

Now all that can be seen is the Silver Evil Spring bubbling out "gurgling", making quite a noise. The sapling had already jumped in and it was unknown how deep it was.

"Brother Liansha, this is..."

"Oh, don't worry about it, it will be fine in a moment."

Lin Shan did not explain and signaled him to stay calm.

Just waiting is a long time!
It was getting dark and the sapling still hadn't come out. If it weren't for the contract in his mind, he would have suspected that something had happened down there.

During this period, Xiyin Cave Master couldn't help but ask twice, but he gave up both times with the excuse of waiting a little longer.

Until the next day the weather cleared up.

The two people who had been sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed suddenly opened their eyes because they felt as if there was some movement underground. Waves of earthquakes were coming, and it was obvious that some big changes had taken place below.

Just as they were about to stand up and investigate.

"Soon-"

A flash of silver light passed by.

The Xiyin Cave Master rubbed his eyes again. He seemed to see a silver monster with hundreds of legs, which suddenly jumped into the arms of the Liansha Cave Master!
"This is this"

"Nothing, let's go."

Lin Shan appeared indifferent, but he was actually more shocked.

Because the sapling of the ancient phantom tree returned to the spirit beast ring, it turned from green to silver, and it also sprouted silver leaves!

In an instant, a spring breeze comes, and thousands of pear trees blossom!

How much did this guy drink?

The young sapling of the Phantom Ancient Tree had no time to answer him and simply lay down on its nest and fell asleep. It seemed that it also needed to digest its food through sleep.

And the purple butterfly pupa on its branch actually has several silver lines!
Lin Shan was unaware of this, and it was obvious that Xiaodie was also involved in it unknowingly. The two of them took the opportunity to eat and drink to their heart's content. It was unknown whether their skill trees had been damaged or not, and it was still unclear whether they would be good or bad in the future, or whether they would mutate.

Outside, the Lord of Xiyin Cave suddenly started yelling!

"What's the fuss about?"

Lin Shan came to his senses, turned around and was shocked!
The source of the Silver Evil suddenly disappeared, leaving only a bottomless hole in its place!

The master of Xiyin Cave knelt in front of the cave, wailing, stamping his feet and beating his chest.

"My Silver Evil Spring! Why, why is this happening? Where did my spiritual spring go?"

He couldn't understand why this spring, which was bottomless, connected to a wider earth vein and could even give birth to two evil seeds, disappeared just overnight?
Lin Shan took a breath of cold air!
Needless to say, it must have been sucked up by the Phantom Ancient Tree and the Void Butterfly. The appetites of these two guys were so big that they actually sucked the Silver Evil Spring dry!

The master of Xiyin Cave was distraught. His life's success depended entirely on this spiritual spring. Now that he had suddenly lost the most precious thing, it was inevitable that he could not accept it.

On the other side, the Ganoderma lucidum evil spirit, after losing the irrigation of the spiritual spring, gradually drooped from its standing state and fell to the side.

Lin Shan felt a little guilty, so he picked up the Lingzhi Sha and put it in the hand of Xiyin Cave Master, then patted him on the back.

"Brother Dao, please accept my condolences. This is indeed beyond my expectations and has caused you heavy losses. How about this..."

He took out two secret books, one was "The Art of Killing Soldiers" and the other was "The Art of Accelerating the Essence of the Earthly Evils" as compensation to the Lord of Xiyin Cave.

After all, you can't do anything to the extreme. If you need this person in the future, appropriate compensation is still necessary.

The Xiyin Cave Master was originally filled with grief and indignation, and was burning with rage for a moment. Even if he were to surrender to you now, you wouldn't bully me like this, right?

Don’t you really treat me as a human being?

But when he took a look at the two booklets, he found that they were all fourth-level secret techniques related to his own ability to ward off evil!

My mood immediately calmed down and I felt a little comforted.

Only then did he put away the Lingzhi Evil and the two secret techniques, bowed to Lin Shan, and said that he had nothing to do with it and could accept this result.

"That's good. You don't have to kill your apprentices. Just pack them up and take them away!"

The master of Xiyin Cave took the order and left.

After he left, deep and heavy demonic energy gradually emerged from the ground where the silver evil spring was originally located, and it began to accumulate at the entrance of the cave.

"It seems that the appearance of the Silver Evil Source is not groundless. The birth of the Demon-Suppressing Evil may also have other reasons. But what does this have to do with me?"

Lin Shan left just like that, not caring about the flood behind him.

After finishing his visit to Xiyin Cave Master, it was next the turn of Kejizi Cave. The old fellow said that he had collected a lot of antiques, so he wanted to take a look before leaving to see what exactly they were!
