Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 89 Jade Elixir Perfected, Spiritual Root Nourished for the Body

[Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who repair bridges and roads leave no trace of their victims; the one who kills a mere mortal is rewarded with seven strings of cash.]

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

Eight notifications appeared in succession.

Although they were all cultivators at the mid-stage of the Jade Liquid Realm, the round-faced woman holding the magic weapon was clearly of higher cultivation level and cost one string of cash more than the others.

A total of forty-nine strings of ill-gotten gains quickly appeared around him.

"Tsk."

Lin Shu glanced at the mountain of copper coins, feeling both delighted and unsatisfied.

The main problem is that I can't just wave my sleeve and put it away like before, which makes it feel a little strange.

The moment this thought arose.

Forty strings of tainted coins suddenly dissipated into black mist, then quickly coalesced and reformed into four small, pitch-black silver ingots, each weighing ten taels.

"..."

Lin Shu looked at it with slight surprise, then swung her arm and rolled the silver ingots into her sleeve.

This is just right.

He put the blood-stained green umbrella into his storage bag, and then took out the life plate. Eight strands of life blood flew from all around and fell into the golden plate.

At the same time, the Chen family disciples emerged from the ruins, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Perhaps the entire battle was too short, and with the Glazed Sword Formation shattered, the Divine Soul Technique instantly controlled all the enemy cultivators.

None of the Chen family disciples died.

The most seriously injured was the red-faced cultivator, followed by several Qi Refining cultivators, whose faces were covered in blood after being hit by the collapsing beacon tower.

Life and death are determined by Heaven; life is snatched from the hands of Yama, the King of Hell. Saving a mortal child is rewarded with six strings of cash for good deeds.

Life and death are determined by Heaven; life is snatched from the hands of Yama, the King of Hell. Saving a worthless life is rewarded with 220 coins for good deeds.

Of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators, the most expensive was worth six strings of cash, the rest were worth three strings, and the cheapest was worth one string, which should be Yan Jin, who had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The eight Qi Refining cultivators managed to scrape together a string of cash and a half.

Another seventeen and a half strings of cash were earned from good deeds.

"Once the steward has tallied the merits, you'll get 20%. You can tell me what you want in return."

Lin Shu put away the gold plate and looked at Yan Jin.

These achievements can not only be exchanged for pills and magical artifacts, but also mean that the little guy can obtain a few strands of inherited spiritual light, which will definitely be attributed to Yu Sheng.

The disciple who crushes the pebble may not earn merit for his master, but he can gain tangible benefits.

Lin Shu is not stingy when it comes to this kind of thing.

With sufficient benefits, these disciples would not necessarily only crush the stone in a life-or-death crisis.

They could easily sneak into the inn to collect a small stone, then quietly crush it if things went wrong, and come back privately to collect their belongings without worrying about revealing their identities.

There's another advantage to doing this.

It means being able to take the initiative.

With these people helping him probe the enemy's strength, he can get a general idea of ​​the situation before deciding whether to take action.

"call."

Lin Shu felt a sense of security as she absorbed the money from both good deeds and bad deeds.

Of course, he also knew that this kind of money wouldn't last long.

Let's not even talk about how furious these immortal descendants, whose vital interests have been affected, will be.

The more times I make a move, the more likely the Great Shun Dynasty will react.

They even sent a high-ranking cultivator to behead him.

But Lin Shu had no intention of further studying at Yongzhou Pass. He wanted to accumulate enough strength and merit as quickly as possible, and then naturally wanted to run to a safer place.

Just as his thoughts were drifting...

Yan Jin's emotions were also fluctuating.

She never knew how the three dragons of Blackwater City died.

Now I can finally see for myself just how effortlessly Lin Shu handles Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This was a one-sided massacre!

"No... I didn't crush it..." Yan Jin shook his head honestly.

As the words fell.

The surrounding disciples slowly recovered from their shock and fear, and looked at their red-faced senior brother on the ground with slightly strange expressions.

"what?"

Lu Yun slumped to the ground, blood still flowing from the penetrating wound in his shoulder.

He noticed the young man casting his gaze at him.

He couldn't help but shudder again, his face contorted in a strange expression, as if he were both crying and laughing: "Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist. I just pinched it casually, I dare not take credit for it. Please give the item to Junior Sister Yan."

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Junior Sister Yan taking out the Zishi and asking Senior Brother Lin to intervene in time, we would all be buried here today."

The other disciples quickly echoed his sentiments.

It's clear that Lu Yunping has a good reputation among his fellow apprentices, and everyone wants to help him cover up this matter.

If Brother Lin, who had acted so cruelly, knew that Senior Brother Lu's original intention was to make him come all for nothing.

If the enemy gets carried away with killing, they might not hesitate to take another life.

"Ugh."

Yan Jin looked at the nervous expressions of her fellow disciples and sighed softly in her heart.

Lin Shu had already seen this young man when she came out of the southern suburbs.

Although the other party is ruthless and decisive, he is by no means the type to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

"Senior Brother Lin."

After thinking it over, Yan Jin walked closer and whispered a few words to explain what had happened.

"..."

Lin Shu glanced at Lu Yun on the ground, a strange look appearing in her eyes.

It sounds like this cultivator has probably seen disciples with experiences similar to Gu Nanzhi's, leaving him with a lasting trauma.

This shows that such situations are by no means uncommon.

He withdrew his gaze and said lazily, "Whatever, you can arrange the credit yourself, but the beacon tower should be theirs."

It was fortunate that he had crushed the stone beforehand; otherwise, even with his full strength, he would have earned far fewer merits.

It was a case of turning a clumsy attempt into a success.

"No problem, Senior Brother Lin, please rest assured, we will definitely repair it perfectly!"

Many disciples exclaimed with joy. It was already a blessing to have escaped with their lives, so what did it matter if they had to build a tower?

The most precious one is the Blood Spirit Stone, which everyone can scrape together if they grit their teeth.

Lu Yun was panting heavily and nodded repeatedly.

"You're gone."

Lin Shu waved to Yan Jin, and then slowly headed towards Shihu City.

As he made his move, he casually tore off the storage bags from the waists of the enemy disciples.

We'll check it thoroughly when we get back to the inn.

"Junior Sister Yan, your Brother Lin..."

Before the Chen family disciple could utter his words of gratitude, he saw the young man stride away.

It was as if they had simply come to do a business deal, without any other ulterior motives.

Once the other person's figure had completely disappeared into the night sky, the group of people in the room paused and began to gather around again, their expressions complex.

"He's not like an ordinary disciple of the world."

"It looks a bit like..."

"The bearing of someone who can command a mountain." Lu Yun finished speaking for everyone with a wry smile.

The difference between Xing Shi and Zhang Shan is like the difference between clouds and mud.

It can be said that any disciple of the sect leader in the Half-Life Immortal Clan could be considered to have reached the Golden Core stage as a starting point, and each of them was a prodigy with the potential to reach the Golden Core stage.

Moreover, the inner methods they comprehended at the beginning of their cultivation had already separated them from the paths of others.

Take the Yu family's Azure Bird Sword Heart Technique as an example.

During the Qi Refining stage, the swift spiritual energy is like a protective aura, and no matter what technique is used, its power far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.

Ordinary internal cultivation methods focus on nurturing spiritual energy, but cultivators who practice the Sword Heart Technique seem to be born for combat, with every move and stance being exceptionally domineering.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one is even more likely to inherit the inner techniques of the upper three ranks and refine the Azure Phoenix Sword Essence.

Only by filling the nine-story jade tower with Dao essence can a sword pill be formed, and finally a golden elixir of excellent quality be obtained!

If they encounter other immortals or demons who provoke them, these disciples who lead the mountain will be the Yu family's strongest line of defense.

That was a road to heaven that most people dared not even dream of.

But now, Lin Shu has actually used his scattered and disorganized techniques to cultivate a terrifying level of dominance that only a disciple of the sect leader possesses!

"The skills of a rogue cultivator are actually this powerful."

"If he were to focus on cultivating the Yu family's techniques, it would be unimaginable."

"Perhaps he is not suited to learn swordsmanship, nor should he have joined the Yu family. Judging from his proficiency in the Divine Soul Technique, if he had joined the Qi family, he would not have needed to come to Yongzhou Pass for trials. He would have been taken back to the Immortal Sect as a treasure long ago."

As Lu Yun's sigh faded away.

The other disciples suddenly looked at Yan Jin. They seemed to remember that their junior sister had a small stone on her.

After personally experiencing this scene.

The value of that stone suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

This item was a life-protecting tool given to me by a senior brother whose strength was comparable to that of a sect leader disciple of the same realm!

Of course, no matter how strong Senior Brother Lin is, he can't protect so many beacon towers at the same time, especially since he also has to guard the pass himself.

But for these disciples whose lives were hanging by a thread, having hope was better than having none.

"We hope Junior Sister Yan will enlighten us." Everyone forced a smile, cupped their hands in a fawning manner, and dared not put on their previous airs of seniority.

"Senior Brother Lin is indeed very strong, but could you please save Senior Brother Lu first? I'm injured, not dead."

Squeezed outside by the crowd, Lu Yun collapsed to the ground, his hand trembling as he reached out.

These heartless bastards!

……

Shihu City.

Occasionally, the sound of a spirit horse snorting could be heard inside the quiet inn.

Lin Shu returned to the lobby and glanced towards the backyard.

If one had a mount that could traverse mountains and rivers as easily as walking on flat ground, one could save a lot of time when traveling.

"What are you thinking about?"

He shook his head; this was originally his own spirit horse.

It's just that those few people can ride it for now.

The group of people during the day claimed to be from the Liu family of Shuangyun Prefecture, searching for a lost item for the immortals.

Clearly, what they were looking for was currently lying in their storage bags.

The reason that immortal only sent Cheng Yi to guard the place is most likely because he himself is powerful, at least a mature immortal descendant at the Core Formation stage, or even higher.

The Ink Dragon Sword Bracelet was not a particularly important treasure to him.

The fact that they sent more than ten people at this moment is less about finding something and more about not expecting anyone to dare to touch their things.

He felt offended and thus became angry.

Thinking of the chaotic state of Blackwater City.

Lin Shu would definitely not feel any psychological burden in taking action against this group of people.

It's just a matter of figuring out how to handle the aftermath.

He composed himself and looked at the little guy sleeping soundly on the counter.

The other party appears to be an infant, but is actually a powerful immortal descendant, so there's no need to worry about them catching a cold.

Lin Shu quietly walked upstairs.

"You're back."

Yu Sheng was a light sleeper. Rubbing her eyes, she looked up and asked, "What are we going to do now?"

"Take a breath."

Lin Shu gestured for the other person to continue sleeping, then went upstairs and into the guest room.

As usual, I sat down on the edge of the bed.

He waved his sleeve and summoned the money for good deeds and evil deeds.

Good deeds need not be considered; they can be entirely devoted to the inner practice.

But some preparations need to be made before that.

He took out the four bottles of Crimson Heart Pills that he hadn't finished using earlier and quickly swallowed them.

At the moment when the medicinal effects were at their most intense, the sixteen and a half strings of good deeds transformed into white light and surged into the Azure Phoenix statue.

The two combined will work together to break through the major hurdle between the lower three ranks and the middle three ranks.

Warmth enveloped my body once again.

Lin Shu slowly closed her eyes, feeling the painting unfold in her mind.

The bluebird has transformed into the patterns on the jade tower.

It contains the meaning of "preserving the original essence".

This was also the first spiritual root he obtained.

It was this spiritual root that allowed Lin Shu to cast spells so quickly.

The other cultivators had little chance to react before they were struck by the Howling Moon Soul-Eroding Curse, bleeding from all seven orifices and their souls cracked.

At this moment, with the infusion of good deeds and the blessing of the Crimson Heart Elixir.

The spiritual liquid in the jade pavilion gradually began to swell.

A delicate, jade-like luster covers it, then seeps into its interior, assimilating it.

Changes layer upon layer.

This high-rise building no longer houses the nine spiritual seas, but rather nine enormous and lustrous pieces of jade.

At the same time, the patterns on the blue phoenix on the outside began to become more complex.

[Foundation Building Stage Six. Azure Bird Body-Nourishing Technique: Perfection]

The moment the prompt appeared, Lin Shu felt the warm current throughout her body suddenly become much more real.

It is no longer a benevolent act that soothes the mind, but a real flow of energy that permeates the entire body.

The Jade Liquid Spiritual Root is called "Body Nourishment"!

Before Lin Shu could even fully experience it, she noticed something strange happening to her body.

His expression changed drastically, and he suddenly ripped open his clothes.

Under the surge of warmth, the hideous and hollow wound on his chest slowly began to sprout new flesh, as he watched in astonishment.

These pinkish buds spread and intertwined rapidly, transforming into flesh and blood, and then into fair and delicate skin.

"..."

Lin Shu watched the entire process in a daze.

When he subconsciously reached out, apart from the fact that it was still empty inside, his chest had already become the shape of a normal person.

That horrifying wound simply disappeared.

The original location of the heart was replaced by a white ball of light.

He could finally live without having to borrow life from the Lord of the Filthy Moon Wolf, but instead rely on these warm currents to survive.

[Jade Liquid Spiritual Root: Body Nourishment]

As long as the primordial energy continues, the physical body will never perish.

Lin Shu stared at the prompt and couldn't help but swallow.

He realized that the magic derived from evil money was afraid of failing to kill others, while the magic derived from good deeds was afraid of dying himself.

Whether it was the previous guarding of the body or the current feeding of the body, it was all for the purpose of protecting this body from damage.

With this jade liquid spiritual root, as long as one's spiritual energy is not exhausted, one can continue to cultivate spiritual energy.

No matter how severe the injury, it can be recovered quickly.

"call."

Another big problem solved!

He let out a long sigh, suppressing the elation in his eyes, and curiously poked his chest.

It feels quite durable to the touch.

No wonder it is said that three spiritual roots will accompany a cultivator throughout their life.

The effect is too powerful; if you take even one less, you'll probably feel heartbroken whenever you think about it later.

"The Jade Elixir is complete."

Lin Shu shifted her attention from her spiritual root back to her Dao foundation.

Although it is still a nine-story building, the amount of spiritual energy contained inside is now more than double what it was before.

According to the steward, this was a level that disciples could only reach after five years of trials, when they left Yongzhou Pass.

Unfortunately, Yu Sheng's achievements were insufficient, so he was not allocated any territory, and he was still in a state where he could not even be considered a child.

This little guy isn't yet capable of leading me to establish myself in Yongzhou.

"Take your time."

Lin Shu took out the counterfeit money again.

His original plan was to invest this ill-gotten money in the Lord of the Filthy Moon.

Because the other party is the only celestial statue that has been awakened.

The same amount of ill-gotten gains can not only improve the grade of immortal techniques, but also help the wolf cub grow and lend him more magical power.

It's like getting two ways out of one fish.

In comparison, the Golden Lion Hundred Bones Technique is not a semi-immortal technique, but a loose immortal technique, so its upper limit is much lower.

Moreover, while body tempering looks useful, it can only be used to launch surprise attacks.

The first use yields the best results.

If anyone else knew this information, they would certainly not give him a chance to get close.

Lin Shuguang felt a headache coming on at the thought of hopping and skipping after the streak of light that the other person had transformed into.

But now it's different. With the nourishing spiritual root, the body tempering method will undergo a qualitative leap!

What does it mean that the physical defenses that were finally broken through can be restored immediately?

With that in mind, Lin Shu no longer hesitated and generously used three jet-black silver ingots to smash the golden lion statue.

"Woof..."

The Filthy Moon Wolf Lord raised its head and stared longingly until it saw the silver ingot merge into the golden lion. Only then did it curl up and lie back down, feeling wronged.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shu closed her eyes again.

It's still the same picture of a golden lion crashing into a mountain, only this time the mountain has collapsed.

What lunged at the lion again was a whirlwind, as if its body had reached its limit and needed to face the test of a storm.

The stinging sensation instantly spread to Lin Shu.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes gradually becoming bloodshot.

Using ill-gotten gains to break through the three stages of Foundation Establishment.

Even with the protection of the Guardian Spirit Root, the intense pain caused a long-dormant restlessness to surge forth once again!

creak.

The door was quietly pushed open.

"Lin Shu, look! My hands have gotten bigger again!"

A petite figure sneaked in, her voice, which she tried to keep low, filled with fear.

With each step she took, she grew a little taller.

The bodice she wore was gradually transforming into a Qingling Huashan.

By the time she reached the bedside, she had transformed into a girl of about ten years old.

She stared blankly at her hands, as if she wasn't quite used to it yet.

But the pretty young woman quickly noticed the young man's unusual behavior and immediately forgot what she had just wanted to say.

She carefully lay down beside the bed, not daring to make a sound to disturb him, and could only tightly grip Lin Shu's hand with its bulging veins.
