Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Just as Lin Shu was about to push open the door and leave.

The childish voice behind him rang out again, interrupting his actions.

The porcelain doll on the bed seemed to have resigned itself to its fate, opening its eyes with a mournful look: "I'm not joking, stop practicing recklessly. For cultivators, the spiritual energy surge caused by mental madness can really kill them."

Although the immortal descendants recognize cultivators as their masters, it sounds a bit like a rebellion against the Heavenly Gang.

But things have already come to this point; I've already lost all face, so I have to save my life.

The cub seemed puzzled: "I don't really understand. It's normal for the other cultivators in Blackwater City to be anxious, since they could indeed die. But you have my life essence, what's there to be anxious about?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Shu turned around, looking puzzled.

It was still early, and since the immortal descendant was unusually willing to speak, he didn't mind taking the opportunity to learn more about this world.

Upon hearing this, the cub replied matter-of-factly, "These people are kept in this Blackwater City, most likely because some immortal descendant has taken a liking to them and wants to obtain something from them. But you have already formed a relationship with me, so you are considered half a member of the Yu family. In the future, you can naturally enter the immortal sect."

"No matter who that immortal descendant is, they will give the Yu family some face and let us leave."

"..."

Lin Shu fell into deep thought.

He could understand every word the other person said, but when put together, it was quite perplexing.

The term "domestication" is usually used to describe livestock, according to my understanding.

Also, what exactly is the Yu family?

"ah--"

Seeing the young man's appearance, the cub on the bed suddenly felt a sense of despair.

She had just struggled to sit up, but then she slumped back down with a thud, staring blankly at the ceiling.

The thought of having my life linked to such a country bumpkin is unbearable.

The future suddenly became bleak... so bleak!

The cub let out a long breath and said listlessly, "To put it simply, those who embark on cultivation by relying on immortal relics are not considered proper immortal cultivators at all."

"They lack both the necessary techniques and the right background, and their lives are in the hands of some immortal descendant! That's why they resort to unorthodox methods."

"But you're different. You can hold my life in your hands, using me as a guide to become a disciple of the Yu family in Lizhou. Our Yu family has a half-immortal, a mountain god! We have prestige!"

The porcelain-doll-like immortal descendant seemed truly at a loss, shaking his head vigorously: "So you don't need to overthink it. As long as you stay alive, once you leave Blackwater City, you'll find plenty of immortal techniques."

"When can we leave?" Lin Shu frowned slightly, not letting the promises the other party made cloud her judgment.

Although he was indeed very curious about the immortal sects, he could not completely entrust his life to this immortal descendant.

"That's hard to say. Given the current situation in Blackwater City, it's probably because that immortal descendant hasn't settled things with someone in the imperial court yet, which is why things have reached a stalemate. It could take a few years or even decades, but there will eventually be a result."

The cub breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that Lin Shu was finally able to listen to human speech.

Based on the slap that the robber delivered without hesitation that day, she almost thought that he had been controlled by evil energy.

"I am a descendant of immortals, with a long lifespan. You are a Qi Refining cultivator, and you can live for at least two hundred years. Waiting a little longer is nothing."

The cub patted its bellyband and said confidently, "Don't worry, as long as we don't keep running into those ordinary mortals, my life, Yu Sheng's life, is still worth something. I guarantee I can take you out."

After saying that, she couldn't help but reveal a confident smile.

But soon, her fair and delicate face froze.

Not far away, Lin Shu calmly opened her clothes, revealing a hideous scar and an empty chest.

Yu Sheng's face went from stiff to trembling, until it turned into fear.

She stared intently at the murderous aura emanating from Lin Shu's chest, which was almost impossible to conceal, and the illusory figure hidden within it.

"It's about to wake up..."

Yu Sheng couldn't understand what kind of tactic this was.

But she instantly realized that Lin Shu was alive only because that illusory figure was still inside the other person's body.

Now, the phantom is clearly moving.

As for how long it will take to wake up... using years as a unit feels a bit redundant.

Thinking of this, Yu Sheng's voice suddenly trembled with a sob: "Give me back my life essence!"

……

In the courtyard.

Lin Shu pushed open the door and stepped out, straightening her clothes slightly.

Yunniang seemed to have figured out his habits, so she would boil water in advance every day, and the water temperature would be just right when he got up to wash.

But the water in the basin was clearly a bit cold today.

"Didn't you sleep well? Wait a moment, I'll go and burn it again."

Yunniang looked over with some confusion. Not only had her benefactor gotten up a little late today, but his complexion also seemed a bit off.

"It's alright, let's leave it at that."

Lin Shu scooped up some cool water and vigorously rubbed her face a couple of times.

He shook the water off his hands, looked up, and his expression had returned to normal.

Fortunately, the immortal offspring were left behind that day; otherwise, they would not have known that their condition had become so dire.

Despite the headache, Lin Shu didn't give up on herself.

At least today I learned a lot more about spiritual practice.

Whether it's the reason Blackwater City was sealed off, the white wolf in my heart, or how to join the immortal sect if I survive...

So many things came rushing in at once, it was a bit overwhelming.

But according to Lin Shu's thinking, since she could cultivate, any problem could be temporarily attributed to insufficient strength.

Since that's the case, we should find a way to improve it.

However, judging from the tragic tone of Yu Sheng's final sobs, it's likely that he doesn't have much time left.

"He still lacks good deeds."

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes slightly and sighed inwardly.

No matter how powerful the immortal techniques are, one's cultivation level must keep up.

Only by having the ability to escape this city can one have a chance to deal with the methods that even the immortal descendants found shocking.

Just as his thoughts were drifting...

Three more figures arrived at the dilapidated courtyard.

As usual, Bai Feng and Yan Jin were in front, while behind them was a lean man dressed in a blue shirt.

"I've brought you the wolf cub from Sifang Street, and I've also brought you some good news."

Bai Feng's expression became noticeably warmer, as if the two had known each other for a long time, and he also intentionally or unintentionally used his body to cover Yan Jin.

"..." Yan Jin was obviously too lazy to argue with him and stood to the side by herself.

"My name is Dong Cheng, you can just call me Xiao Dong. I'll be working for Master Lin from now on." The lean man cupped his hands and took over the conversation.

"The good news that Master Bai mentioned is that, to celebrate your promotion, Senior Yin Ling specially arranged for someone to exchange the two alleys at the entrance of this courtyard for your name."

At this point, Dong Cheng's gaze towards Lin Shu clearly changed.

For a ferocious wolf, the most important thing is its territory.

Although the man surnamed Yin was in the wrong, the fact that he took the initiative to offer two alleys as an apology was enough to show his fear of this newly emerged ferocious wolf.

This is nothing like the wolf that sat on the mountain a few days ago.
