Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 69: The Clues Are Complete

"Where did you go? Why are you ignoring me?"

"You big robber, where are you?!"

"Lin Shu!"

"Owner----"

The initial cries of the children gradually turned into panic.

The chicks were given all sorts of different names, but still received no response.

Inside the Xia Mansion.

Lin Shu slowly opened her eyes, her pupils filled with a terrifying weariness.

He pulled the divided soul back into his body.

After three whole days, he finally mastered the Soul Splitting Thousand Threads technique.

Although there is still only one fragment of the soul, both the speed at which it is separated and the skill in controlling it have made great progress compared to the beginning.

"Don't shout, I'm fine."

Lin Shu adjusted her breathing, after all, this involved the soul and could not be distracted, and only now did she find the time to respond to the cub.

"You're finally alive!" Yu Sheng jumped out of bed excitedly, her little mouth chattering incessantly: "I heard from Yunniang that it's practically everywhere in the streets now, everyone's saying you're going to be in big trouble!"

She said with a bitter face, "Those people said that the two leaders of the Blackwater Gang had a fight. You were too greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the third leader in order to rise in rank. As a result, the two leaders made up quickly, and you became the ridiculous one. Now you are hiding everywhere and dare not come out."

"That scared me to death!"

"Understood. Keep a close eye on Chai Yuan. Let me know if anything changes."

Lin Shu's expression remained calm, without much fluctuation.

It's obvious that even Yunniang knows about these rumors, and there must be some backing from Guojianglong.

This was all to create the impression that he, the greedy wolf, was isolated and helpless, paving the way for what was to come.

Of course, even if Cheng Yi acted somewhat foolishly, he wouldn't completely trust the other party.

This person may only be putting on an act for their own benefit, with other plans behind the scenes.

However, in order to obtain specific information about the city's closure, Lin Shu had to take up that conversation at that time, and it was unavoidable to anger the Mountain Dragon.

In addition, Xia Mingtang was killed.

Even without the intervention of the foreign dragon, his situation wouldn't be much different from what it is now.

But all of this depends on the premise that one is a Qi Refining cultivator.

Once you reveal your Foundation Establishment level strength and can influence the situation within Blackwater City, the situation will be completely different.

Neither the government nor the Blackwater Gang would likely want to send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to the other side.

That's where his confidence comes from.

Having this confidence allows for more leeway in handling matters, making things much easier.

Lin Shu did not intend to become a gang leader according to Cheng Yi's plan, but she did not disrupt his arrangements either.

Instead, he planned to use this opportunity to do something else.

However, we need to make more thorough preparations beforehand.

"call."

In the past few days, besides getting familiar with the Soul Splitting Thousand Threads Technique, he has also been trying out how to use the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu raised her right hand.

A wisp of green energy emanated from his palm.

Yu Sheng once said that in order to unleash the full potential of immortal techniques, one must allow spiritual energy to acquire the same essence.

Simply put, each deity's magical power and spells are matched.

It's somewhat similar to the martial arts sects I'm familiar with, where mental cultivation methods and martial arts techniques form a self-contained system that complements each other.

Lin Shu did indeed sense something was amiss.

Using the Azure Sparrow's spiritual energy to perform the White Bone Burial Soul Technique just doesn't feel quite right; it only unleashes four or five tenths of its full power.

His gaze narrowed slightly, and the azure energy in his palm suddenly trembled, then turned dark from the inside out, with wisps of blood mist rising within it.

Through these few days of experimentation, Lin Shu discovered that the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf could actually alter the immortal aura within his spiritual energy.

This means that he is no longer limited to a particular immortal sect.

As long as he can cultivate enough immortal phantoms, he can learn all kinds of immortal techniques, and each technique can be used to its maximum effect!

The disadvantage of the chaotic atmosphere caused by the scattered cultivators became Lin Shu's advantage.

For example, the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf, a descendant of immortals, specializes in illusion magic, and almost all the corresponding immortal techniques are related to it.

If he were to encounter a cultivator who happens to be able to counter illusion magic, he would be as powerless as Xia Mingtang. Now, however, he has more options.

"It's a pity that there aren't many immortal techniques in Blackwater City. If I have the chance in the future, I should learn more ways to protect myself."

Lin Shu sighed inwardly.

He reached out and picked up the prescription from the table, then got up and walked out of the courtyard.

It's almost time.

The northern part of the city is deserted, with few people around.

Unless they were people who earned money by working for the White Tiger Hall, almost everyone tried to move out and stay far away from these mad tigers.

After all, no one wants to be so distracted that their family member is thrown into the White Tiger Hall's alchemy furnace.

Lin Shu walked towards the west city, but suddenly a figure appeared in front of her.

"Don't trust outsiders."

Yan Jin, as always, stated her purpose directly.

-

Her expression was serious as she reached out to block the young man's path: "Whatever he asks you to do, ignore him. Go find Gu Nanzhi; she can help you."

Clearly, even Lin Shu herself felt somewhat powerless in her current predicament.

On the day the gang members gathered, Cheng Yi's sudden provocation surprised everyone.

But unlike most people who thought this was the third leader's dissatisfaction with the first leader's cowardice and his desire to seize power, Yan Jin discovered something much more.

As a disciple of the immortal sect, she was intimately familiar with the fear that emanated from the eyes of the Mountain-Pounding Dragon.

That wasn't out of fear of Cheng Yi's cultivation level, but rather the natural awe that rogue cultivators have for immortals. Even before making a move, they felt inferior.

"What's that in your hand?" Lin Shu ignored the question and instead focused her gaze on the woman's tightly clenched right hand.

'

Yan Jin pursed her lips, opened her palm, and there was a piece of grayish-black dregs inside, which could be vaguely seen to be the shape of some kind of plant root.

"I felt something was wrong, so I went to Zhen Chi Hu's mansion. He was the tiger that Guo Jiang Long trusted the most."

""

Upon discovering the anomaly, she began to investigate.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yi's cultivation level was too high, and Yan Jin was not confident that she could infiltrate his residence. She could only settle for second best and went to Tiger's Den, where this outsider had the closest dealings.

To her surprise, she actually made a discovery.

"I found this, and also an unnamed elixir prescription."

As she spoke, a deep sorrow welled up in Yan Jin's eyes again, even more so than before: "This is the dregs of the Awakening Pill. A pill formula of this caliber should not be in the hands of a rogue cultivator, and there are absolutely no medicinal materials in the city to refine this pill."

The so-called alchemy practice of the White Tiger Hall is nothing but a mess.

But the Winged Tiger possessed a genuine formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Moreover, judging from the records left in the alchemy workshop, the other party had been refining this kind of pill for a long time, but did not even know what the pill was called or what its effects were, and was still studying it diligently.

If possessing the elixir formula isn't strange enough, there are other reasons that can explain it.

After a ten-year blockade, it's incredibly strange that this tiger could still produce the ingredients for refining the Awakening Pill.

This only proves that the person who instructed him to refine the pills already knew that the city would be imprisoned.

We prepared a large quantity of medicinal materials for this pill in advance, so much so that there are still some left over after using them for so long.

If a descendant of immortals were to use their powers to trap Blackwater City, the cultivators inside could take advantage of the situation and sneak out.

What if this celestial descendant left behind a guardian?

After finding these clues, Yan Jin no longer expected Lin Shu to take her out.

She came here specifically today because she was worried that the other party had underestimated the third leader's resources and would be completely taken advantage of.

"Ha!"

Yan Jin tried to clear her mind of distractions, fearing that the more she thought, the more her emotions would break down.

"Trust me, he has no good intentions, and you won't get anything out of him."

She didn't believe that Lin Shu, given her personality, would actually try to climb the social ladder by relying on a powerful outsider, as rumored, only to be played for a fool.

This Greedy Wolf likely had ulterior motives, and perhaps, like himself, had sensed something amiss with the Crossing Dragon, so he deliberately entered into this trap.

But there's really no need for that.

We can't win.

Cheng Yi had prepared such ample medicinal herbs, so he must have other protective measures bestowed by the immortals.

"What are the effects of the Awakening Pill?" Lin Shu knew that her biggest disadvantage was her unfamiliarity with the cultivation world.

Whenever this comes up, he tries to get as much information as possible.

"This item is similar to the Spirit Gathering Pill, which also enhances a cultivator's perception and soul. It is usually used to help cultivators better control magical artifacts or to assist in tasks that require full concentration, such as alchemy."

Yan Jin unleashed sword threads from his palm, destroying all the remaining medicinal residue. He sighed, a rare occurrence for him: "Sigh, let's protect our lives first. As for other things, we can only take it one step at a time—there will always be a way."

She turned around, her expression slightly dazed.

Although she was trying to persuade Lin Shu, it was clear that she herself didn't believe what she was saying.

If Guojianglong is truly a disciple supported by a celestial sect, then he is simply beyond the capabilities of cultivators like ourselves who have lost contact with the outside world.

"Be careful, I'm going back now." Yan Jin's voice was dejected as she took a step and headed back the way she came.

Lin Shu's eyes grew even clearer.

Yu Sheng's speculation about the Blackwater City being trapped resurfaced in his mind, along with the image of Guo Jianglong's constantly yawning and tired appearance.

The information gathered recently began to connect rapidly.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator needs to rely on others to refine pills.

So what else can he do with so many Awakening Pills besides controlling magical artifacts?

At this moment, it seems that all the clues have been gathered.
