Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 152 Preparations Before Recapturing Anren Prefecture

"Tsk."

Lin Shu reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

The so-called Xiaobao is most likely an alias. Based on this information alone, it is difficult to deduce any useful clues.

However, it is also possible to deduce that the fool was not alone.

Even after someone suffers misfortune, there is always someone taking care of them.

However, this group of people may have encountered some problems as well.

"It's alright, there's no rush, go and rest."

Lin Shu took it all in stride. As long as you're strong enough, no matter who the opponent is, there's always a solution.

After seeing the fool off, he sat cross-legged on the futon and summoned the evil silver.

Today, we had to rely on others to achieve such a good result. Qian Yiru put in a lot of effort, while I easily picked up a bunch of seriously injured Golden Core cultivators.

But once he has fully digested this gain, he is confident that he can turn the abstract into reality.

The Golden Core cultivators alone brought Lin Shu a full 30,000 taels of silver.

The demon-slaying officers who lie dormant in the mountains and rivers, responsible for keeping watch on the Night Demon Lord, are not many in number, but they are all elites.

There were a total of six subordinate generals, all of whom were at the peak of the Core Formation stage.

Of the twenty-odd mountain search captains, about half had reached the Core Formation stage, and the rest were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Shu used his divided soul to control the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet, which was also infused with the golden core magic power borrowed from the Azure Phoenix of Crossing Calamity, making it quite difficult to cut through.

However, he did manage to acquire nearly five thousand taels of silver.

"I've earned quite a bit of Karmic Fire Essence."

He flicked his fingers slightly, producing six small gold beans, which, including the one he had saved earlier, brought him to seven coins.

If we can gather five taels, we can try to create another spiritual treasure similar to the Mountain God Mirror. If we can save more, we can even consider helping a certain half-life immortal descendant break through the shackles.

"Focus on the present moment."

Lin Shu summoned the Jade Bone Golden Lion Statue and looked at the prompt in front of him.

[Golden Core Rank 6. Demon Lion Prison-Suppressing Body: Perfected]

The writing on the grade was beginning to blur and sway. The 13,000 taels of silver obtained from killing Yu Mingxuan and his group had brought this body tempering technique to the threshold of breakthrough.

The difference is at most only two or three thousand.

He closed his eyes, and the evil silver beside him gradually rose up, turning into black light that surged into the jade-bone golden lion.

The powerful energy of blood and qi began to boil.

Lin Shu had long been accustomed to the sensation of them churning and colliding inside her body, and had even begun to enjoy the pain of having her own body roasted like an oven.

Two thousand taels of silver were enough for the Body Tempering Immortal Technique to break through a barrier.

[Golden Core Grade 5. Demon Lion Prison Suppressing Body: Perfected]

"Blood-red jade bones, the Great Prison of Soul Suppression."

He carefully observed the changes within his body, watching as his flesh and bones became increasingly intertwined with the crimson aura, forming an inseparable and unshakeable whole.

This uplift continues as bad money pours in.

Another 15,000 taels of silver were thrown down, and the notification changed again.

[Golden Core Grade 4. Demon Lion Prison-Suppressing Body: Perfected]

Lin Shu lowered his eyes slightly, opened his mouth, and the hot stream that escaped from his mouth was just a breath, but it almost melted the mountain beneath him.

Just now, he was like Lei Shouren and Chen Ziheng, barely reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Even if they joined forces and with the blessing of the Suanni Treasure Seal, they were no match for the sect leaders of the same realm.

But now, he has reached the pinnacle of this realm simply through his physical strength.

"There are still more than 17,000 taels left."

Clearly, this amount of evil silver is insufficient to break through the barrier of the upper three ranks and allow this physical body to enter the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

But Lin Shu hadn't originally planned to continue.

He was about to begin preparing to obtain the Nine-Turn Purple Heaven Golden Elixir.

With a slight shift in his mind, a wisp of black energy slowly seeped out.

With the influx of vast amounts of ill-gotten gains, it has begun to manifest itself as a statue.

Even if they are of the same rank in immortal techniques, there is still a restraining relationship between them.

For example, the Body Tempering Method is a combination of offense and defense, but its disadvantage is that it is too simple and has almost no variation. When cultivators are at the same level, other cultivators can easily come up with countermeasures.

The Demon Lion Prison Treasure Body has such a good effect on Lin Shu.

Most of the credit should go to the Wind-Riding and Mountain-Patrolling Divine Power.

Among all immortal techniques, no matter how they are ranked, lightning techniques, which are even remotely related to heavenly tribulations, are always among the top.

This refers to the method Lin Shuxin had been longing for: using the lower to attack the higher.

The Netherworld Cold Thunder is merely a technique used by a rogue immortal, considered a relatively low-level minor thunder seed, but Lin Shu has a way to deal with it.

He flicked out a small golden bean, which merged into the black mist.

[A carefree wild demon, who consumed a coin of karmic fire essence and stole half a lifetime's worth of immortal power, yet has no immortal rank but possesses the initial qualities of an immortal.]

[Half-Immortal. Serpent in the Cold Pool]

[Half-Immortal. First-Grade Core Formation. Netherworld Cold Miasma Thunder: Perfect]

Lin Shu didn't hesitate and threw the remaining silver directly into it.

When he first encountered this technique, before the scroll was even fully unfurled, the dark serpent used dark lightning to blast his soul away.

Now the two meet again in the sea of ​​consciousness.

This terrifying snake monster was actually just a low-level cultivator at the Core Formation stage.

Glug glug.

Lin Shu felt as if she were in a cold spring, her gaze calmly fixed on the small snake.

Unaffiliated immortals are not recognized by heaven and earth, and their methods are quite crude, often involving trinkets that are not respectable.

Now, the black light of ill-gotten gains surges into the painting, and it immediately begins to discard its dross.

Why did they have to get involved with poisonous miasma when they could have used lightning magic?

Wisps of yellow mist were quickly stripped from the serpent's body, replaced by extreme cold.

"hiss."

Lin Shu's physique was incredibly strong; his boundless blood and qi were like a volcano hidden within his body.

He was just wondering what would counter the Body Tempering Technique, when he unexpectedly encountered it right away.

The same cold pool.

At this moment, he felt his limbs and bones become numb and stiff, the icy cold penetrated his bone marrow, and the powerful lightning surged into his seven orifices, making him completely unable to move.

[Nine Grades of Golden Core. Netherworld True Thunder: Beginner Level]

At this point, only a small portion of the illicit silver had been used up, with nearly ten thousand taels still being continuously poured in.

The quality and proficiency levels skyrocketed.

Perhaps because he had been practicing the Body Tempering Technique recently, Lin Shu suddenly felt a surge of information in his mind, and his head even felt like it was about to split open.

Soon, the last ounce of that ill-gotten silver was lost.

The words on the prompt finally settled.

[Golden Core Grade 7. Netherworld True Thunder: Perfected]

Seventeen thousand taels of evil silver, plus one qian of Karmic Fire Gold Essence, allowed this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's skills to leap to an unprecedentedly terrifying level.

"Slow down, slow down."

Lin Shu rubbed her temples vigorously, unusually digesting the information carefully.

I'm going to use this immortal technique to temper my Niwan (a point on the back of my head), so I can't afford to be careless.

Anyway, there's no rush to go back.

While familiarizing himself with his physique and lightning techniques, he also summoned Elder Xu and made arrangements for what was to come.

……

a few days later.

Qiankun Academy.

The lecturers and students had a general idea that the situation in Anren Prefecture had changed.

Perhaps there was really nothing worth talking about, so the government simply suspended the local gazette for the time being.

But the group was still not particularly worried.

Everyone knows that although the Demon Slayer Division is a powerful force responsible for capturing demons, the real determinant of the peace and stability of the Nine Prefectures is always the immortal family of half a lifetime.

For example, in Anren Prefecture, as long as the Yu family still exists, it proves that the situation is still under control.

Those who participated in the previous meeting were especially confident, just waiting for the headmaster to come forward and announce the news that could boost morale.

But just then, the students at the academy gate suddenly caught sight of a figure.

That was the familiar flowing cloud sword robe.

But the girl was alone, walking slowly, and had none of the imposing manner of a disciple of the sect leader.

Her expression was complicated as she looked up at the magnificent academy, as if she had some unspeakable secret.

Just as everyone gathered around, anxiously asking questions...

A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out in the sky.

A sword shadow carrying a murderous intent swept across the sea of ​​clouds from a thousand miles away, arriving with a roar and forcefully breaking into Anren Prefecture City.

"..."

The people looked up in fear, while the lecturers and students felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

They all looked up at the same time.

They watched helplessly as the sword shadow arrogantly stormed into Qiankun Academy, smashing the gate tower of the Star Gazing Pavilion amidst a deafening roar.

Then a slender, three-foot-long sword appeared and firmly embedded itself into the collapsed plaque!
