Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 75 Ask Him to Calm Down?

[Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace; killing a mere mortal earns a string of cash as a reward.]

Life and death are determined by Heaven; life is snatched from the hands of Yama, but saving a mortal child is rewarded with one string of cash for good deeds.

First came Fu Hailong's message about ill-gotten gains, followed closely by Gu Nanzhi's.

To be honest, the lives of Foundation Establishment cultivators are indeed valuable.

But Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged, and her emotions were unusually calm, as she silently waited for something.

He looked into the void.

Soon, jade coins appeared one after another. Although they were scattered, they rose and fell, and soon piled up like a small mountain.

Countless hints eventually converged into one.

Life and death are determined by Heaven; life is snatched from the hands of Yama, the King of Hell. Saving over ten thousand lives is a reward of ten thousand coins for good deeds.

The ten thousand coins was just a figure of speech; the situation in Blackwater City was clearly not as optimistic as Gu Nanzhi had imagined.

Each coin represents a living life.

These people were the most insignificant nobodys in Blackwater City. In the chaotic city caused by years of imprisonment, they were powerless to resist the cultivators, or even the ordinary gentry and wealthy merchants.

Just as the county magistrate said, even if most people can hold on, there will always be some who can't endure it.

Now that the city has opened, all they need is a small boat to leave this place and go to those relatively normal places.

The warm, smooth white jade coins gradually strung together, totaling 18,000 coins, and finally transformed into a full 18 strings of merit that floated around.

Including County Magistrate Gu's share, the total was nineteen strings of cash.

"call."

Lin Shu exhaled slightly.

A lazy look appeared on his face as he stretched his arms out.

A bumper harvest!

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord's magic power gradually receded, and the wildly dancing black flames dissipated into thin air.

Lin Shu bent down and quickly pulled the jade-white cloth bag from Cheng Yi's waist.

I almost forgot about my storage bag.

He tried to tear open the bag, but after a few tries, a weak voice came from behind him.

"Infuse it with spiritual power—"

"That's what I think too."

Lin Shu stopped her movements, which she had been planning to increase in intensity, without changing her expression.

He channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into his pocket.

After a careful inspection, Lin Shu found that there wasn't actually much inside.

A bunch of oddly shaped weeds, a few tattered pieces of paper, and a few bottles of pills.

The former should be the medicinal material used to refine the Awakening Pill.

Those few tattered pieces of paper were quite interesting; they could both emit light and reveal their form, and also block his Howling Moon Soul-Eating Curse.

"You just paddled around here, here you go."

Lin Shu turned around, pulled out a tattered piece of paper covered in scribbles, and handed it over.

It is reasonable and justifiable to distribute spoils according to work done.

Gu Nanzhi looked at the talisman, and even though it was very valuable to her, she did not reach out to take it.

She turned her gaze back to the young man in front of her, her expression becoming increasingly dazed.

No immortal descendant intervened.

The other party truly survived the trial of Blackwater City all by himself.

Even a seasoned cultivator like Guojianglong almost lost his life to a soul curse without the protection of a celestial talisman.

What's even more terrifying is that this young man sat on the riverbank for most of the night and actually stole a magical artifact from a descendant of immortals!

Everything was beyond Gu Nanzhi's comprehension.

It left her completely bewildered.

Is this the courage and strength of the sect leader's disciple?!

The Chang family had previously worried that this person would lead Yi'er astray, and they were still giving him advice with the attitude of an elder.

Little did he know that the entire Blackwater City was nothing more than a shallow ditch in the eyes of this young man.

She was really curious how the other party had managed to kill three Chenlong members of the Blackwater Gang in less than two days.

What kind of expressions will those tigers and wolves, who were convinced that the young man was doomed, have when he returns to the city?

"Feed?"

Lin Shu shook the talisman in her hand with some confusion.

"I don't want this—can I ask you for a favor?" Gu Nanzhi tried to come back to her senses and suddenly lowered her posture to an extremely humble level.

"Um?"

A hint of wariness appeared in Lin Shu's eyes.

I've always thought this woman was strange; her enthusiasm was definitely up to something.

Considering that the other party had indeed gone to great lengths to help, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "You go first."

"Now that the magical artifact has been taken away, the city is considered open. My brother-in-law will immediately report to the imperial court and contact the prefectural government—"

Gu Nanzhi looked grateful.

Clearly, her decision to become the county magistrate wasn't solely based on kinship; she genuinely didn't want Blackwater City to descend into chaotic fighting.

Otherwise, if one hasn't even received a single grain of imperial ration, why would one bother to put in such effort?

The city walls have been opened, but the matter is not over yet.

The county magistrate reported to the imperial court through official channels.

After all, although the immortal descendant had connections to take the city from a high-ranking official, this matter might not be aboveboard and could very well involve clandestine dealings.

As long as the memorial can be submitted, the other party will be more or less wary.

But that's not safe enough.

Ultimately, the main beam still belongs to the immortals.

Gu Nanzhi bowed deeply: "I am shameless, but may I ask your master to put in a good word for Blackwater City in the imperial court, to plead with that immortal to calm his anger—"

If another immortal could step in to resolve the feud, the matter would no longer be considered a mortal offending the immortal sect, making it much easier to handle.

Sometimes, for immortals, it might just be a matter of saving face, and they need a way to save face.

But when it happens to ordinary people, it results in rivers of blood.

",

Lin Shu's expression became somewhat complicated.

In this world, cultivators need to comprehend cultivation techniques by absorbing the aura of immortals.

The "master" mentioned by the other party most likely refers to a certain immortal descendant.

So this woman did indeed discover Yu Sheng's existence, but she didn't say anything and mistook the little guy for her master.

This explains the strange behavior of the county constable earlier.

But what truly silenced Lin Shu was not this matter.

What puzzled him was that he had initially thought it was some wicked descendant of a celestial being who wanted to use the entire city's inhabitants for personal gain.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be kept secret from others?

Why is the city gates open? It's not the immortals who are panicking, but the government officials.

And you even have to—apologize to the other party?!

Seeing the young man remain silent, Gu Nanzhi's expression immediately became uneasy.

It's already a blessing for Blackwater City that the other side was able to break through this blockade; how could we dare to hope for more?

Just then, Lin Shu finally made a move.

He still tossed the magic talisman to Gu Nanzhi as before, keeping things separate.

"When you meet her, go and ask her yourself."

Although that little thing kept patting his chest and saying that the Yu family had face, and Yan Jin also confirmed this from the side.

But Lin Shu didn't know much about these things, so it wasn't appropriate for her to make any promises.

At most, it will give the two of them a chance to meet.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"

This simple promise made Gu Nanzhi so excited that she blurted out whatever came to mind.

Given Lin Shu's astonishing performance over the past two days, she has developed an extreme sense of awe and reverence for the immortal behind her.

Only a powerful expert with extraordinary abilities could cultivate such an outstanding disciple.

At this moment, he actually had the opportunity to see this descendant of immortals in person—

Gu Nanzhi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She turned around nervously and asked, "Shall we go now?"

"Wait a little longer, I need to rest and recuperate for a while longer."

Lin Shu stepped into the dense forest.

The long-awaited good deed has finally come to fruition, so of course I should digest it as soon as possible.

Although it has only been a short time since I traveled here.

But what he saw and heard inexplicably made him wary of this place, and he always felt unsafe.

That's so weird!

Besides, killing a disciple who came by imperial decree will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

Even if they don't avenge their disciple, the immortal descendant will most likely still come looking for the treasure.

Whether it's for escaping in the future or joining a more powerful immortal sect, you need stronger strength to protect yourself!

Lin Shu composed herself, sat cross-legged, and looked at the Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet on her wrist.

The power of this magical artifact is truly impressive.

It's just a bit of a shame that it can't be brought to light.

If the status of the immortals here is truly as lofty as one imagines, even surpassing that of the imperial court, then this thing is definitely stolen goods.

They might put up an arrest warrant.

However, it is still a self-defense weapon, and if you really encounter a life-or-death crisis, you still have to use it.

Lin Shu shook her head and summoned the merit and evil money.

Just as he was about to move the coins, the bracelet on his wrist began to tremble slightly.

"You can eat this too?"

Lin Shu looked puzzled. He was all too familiar with the bracelet's reaction; it was practically from the same den as the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord.

So her abilities actually had nothing to do with the little wolf; it was just a matter of doing good deeds and getting money. It was just that Yihao saw the white wolf's phantom as soon as she opened her eyes.

That's why they mistakenly thought there was some connection between the two.

After a few moments of contemplation, Lin Shu tried to move the money she always used to get closer to the bracelet.

He instantly felt an intense hunger emanating from this inanimate object, as if even a whole string of taels of silver wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap. "That won't do."

Lin Shu decisively withdrew the money she had always been greedy for.

He roughly guessed that this thing wanted to be included in the category of magical artifacts.

But based on the terrifying appetite I just felt, I wouldn't even see a splash if I threw in my three strings of cash.

There are quite a few good deeds to be done; you could give it a try.

But this involves one's own cultivation level.

External things are nothing compared to one's spiritual realm, especially something that cannot be brought to light.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, with his current resources, he wouldn't even be able to unleash half the power of a high-grade magic weapon.

If it becomes a magic weapon and can't be controlled, that would be ridiculous.

"You should just go hungry for now."

Lin Shu simply took off the bracelet and put it into her storage bag.

He reactivated his good deeds, summoned the blue feathers, and then poured all the white jade coins into them.

[Qi Refining Grade 3. Spirit Sparrow Foundation Building Technique: Minor Success]

Driven by a full 19,000 coins, the painting of the spirit bird soaring into the clouds instantly expanded dozens of times.

Lin Shu felt as if she were in a cloud realm, with no more restlessness, only complete comfort.

If the irritation of ill-gotten gains comes from the lamentations of the dead.

Those lives he personally snatched back from the jaws of death were filled with blessings and reverence.

Three hundred strands of clear, green spiritual energy intertwined and quickly formed the most perfect foundation at the end of this Qi Refining Path!

The formula, personally rewritten by Shan Gong, is like a solid and stable road.

It's as if I have obsessive-compulsive disorder; I don't seek rapid progress, but I want the path to be flawless.

Foundation established!

At this point, only three and a half strings of good deeds had been consumed.
