Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter Ninety: You, Master Lin, have incurred the wrath of the masses.

Roar!

The majestic golden lion, capable of shattering mountains and rivers, appeared somewhat disheveled under this fierce wind.

The gale, like a knife and a hammer, sliced ​​through its flesh and smashed its golden bones.

The lion gradually exhausted itself, standing unsteadily in the lake, its blood staining the surface and reflecting its increasingly terrifying and ferocious face.

Those once clear eyes were gradually filled with resentment.

"kill……"

Lin Shu's body stopped convulsing, and he lowered his eyes to stare into the void.

He appears calm on the surface, but in reality, he exudes a strong sense of hostility.

The ill-gotten money contained a multitude of negative emotions, formed from the gathering of the dead, which were now completely eroding his mind.

Fortunately, the existence of the Guardian Spirit Root steadily suppressed the soul.

He remained conscious and was able to calm down and think things through.

We were still too hasty.

Thirty strings of tainted money could indeed transform the Golden Lion's Hundred Bones Technique, but one would also have to pay a price.

While guarding the spiritual root to protect the soul and keep the agitation out, the immortal techniques also cannot make progress.

At this moment, Lin Shu needs to voluntarily relinquish some control over this body and let the restless emotions take over.

In the words of cultivators, it is called killing intent and disturbing the mind.

"..."

Lin Shu planned to take back the ill-gotten gains first, and then deal with the matter again when she had accumulated enough good deeds to offset the resentment of these dead souls.

Just then, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in a certain part of his body.

Is it that essence blood?

As if remembering something, Lin Shu's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

The scene in the painting gradually changed in the next moment.

The golden lion did not continue its rampage. Instead, it looked up at the fierce winds filling the sky, and a hint of pride gradually emerged in its originally haggard and tired eyes.

What is there to fear from a typhoon?

The mountain god is a natural-born master of controlling the wind!

Clang.

Its spine suddenly rose high, and in an instant, two wings as dazzling as flowing gold tore through the flesh, slowly unfolding and raising a few scarlet blood droplets, before suddenly shaking!

boom--

The fierce wind fell on its battered body, turning into flowing cloud patterns.

The colossal creature suddenly took to the air, its massive size and immense power making it remarkably agile as it hovered and moved through the air!

[Foundation Building Stage 3. Golden Lion Hundred Bones Technique: Perfection]

[Foundation Building Stage Two. Golden Lion Hundred Bones Technique: Perfected]

"hiss."

Lin Shu was taken aback.

In an instant, a surging force swept through his body, making him feel full and powerful, as if he had inexhaustible strength.

He needed to suppress it with all his might to prevent the energy from leaking out.

The second-grade body tempering method is perfected, and disregarding other methods, it is already comparable to the perfected foundation building of the Dao marrow.

What a concept!

It's as if every gesture and movement of a cultivator is a manifestation of their magical arts.

His fists can split mountains and shatter rocks, and his physical body is indestructible!

With thirty strings of cash, one could barely break through the threshold, let alone be promoted to the second rank.

And the name of this body tempering method has not changed.

Clearly, bad money did not change the internal law itself, but rather used external forces to forcibly elevate its quality!

Lin Shu looked down at her arm and saw faint golden cloud patterns on her skin.

Only after he controlled his breathing did the patterns gradually fade and disappear.

The ability to control the wind is a skill of the Yu family, the mountain god.

Jin Shi, a mere wandering immortal, stole this ability by borrowing Yu Sheng's essence blood.

Now, thanks to this body tempering technique, I have even gained a slight ability to control the wind!

"And you."

Lin Shu looked at the girl lying on the back of her hand.

He had noticed Yu Sheng the moment she came in.

I just didn't have time to pay attention to it at the time.

Looking at him now, the little guy had actually grown a bit more, looking about eleven or twelve years old, and standing there he was only half a head shorter than Yu Qing and the others.

He frowned slightly, withdrew his hand, and gently touched the feather at Yu Sheng's temple with his fingertips.

The originally blue tail feathers now had a faint golden sheen, making them quite magnificent.

Neither Yu Sheng, who had been forcibly revived in the dilapidated courtyard, nor the older Yu Qing and others exhibited this change.

"Tsk, it's become a mixed-race chick."

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow.

That essence of blood improved the body tempering method.

And the improvement in his physique was also affecting Yu Sheng.

"Wake up."

He casually ruffled the girl's hair.

Yu Sheng's delicate face was slightly furrowed, and her eyelashes trembled. She was clearly not asleep, but rather drowsy due to changes in her body.

"Are you... are you ready to regulate your breathing?" She opened her eyes with a hint of pain, feeling dazed and confused, and instinctively wanted to climb onto the young man's lap.

"Stop." Lin Shu flicked him on the forehead.

"Ouch."

Yu Sheng rubbed her forehead, then blinked twice: "Huh, it doesn't hurt!"

She blankly lowered her hands, then clenched them tightly twice: "I feel like I've become stronger, or am I imagining things?"

"It shouldn't be."

Although Lin Shu had long known of the power of the Immortal Descendants, even during their slumber, their bodies were comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But at this moment, a hint of surprise still flashed in his eyes.

Even if a young immortal descendant doesn't need to learn anything, they only need to make up for their innate deficiencies... and they haven't even fully recovered yet.

The aura emanating from her body subtly overwhelmed that of a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Jade Liquid realm.

No wonder these young men and women can become the masters of cultivators.

Once they reach adulthood, they are undoubtedly at the Core Formation stage.

"Can you change back?"

"I'll give it a try."

Yu Sheng clearly didn't like this look either, feeling that it was inconvenient to do anything.

Her body gradually shrank and became much shorter, about six or seven years old, with her hair hanging down to her thighs.

They look incredibly cute, but they can never go back to being babies.

"It doesn't seem like it will work."

"That's about right. You can sleep upstairs for a few days."

Lin Shu was just worried that the changes would be too great and that others would notice the matter of the essence blood.

However, since I am about to receive several inherited spiritual lights, it is impossible for me to remain completely unchanged; this appearance is just right.

"Hehe, Lin Shu, Lin Shu, look at this!"

Yu Sheng quickly climbed onto the bed, fiddled with the green feathers beside her ears, the tails of which were like gold, resembling two beautiful hair ornaments.

"..."

Lin Shu's gaze was strange.

If the little guy's parents were still alive, this thing would inevitably cause some family disputes.

"Go to sleep."

He got up from the bed and sat down at the table.

There are still nineteen strings of ill-gotten gains left; we can't really let the wolf cubs starve.

Although he no longer needed to borrow life from it, he still hoped that the Filthy Moon Wolf Lord would grow up and he could borrow some of its Core Formation power.

Moreover, since the Qi family was able to establish such a prominent reputation through their spiritual means...

This shows that this thing is really powerful.

If I can master more of these skills, I will have enough means to deal with the situation if I am hunted down by the Demon Slayer Division for stealing the Qi family's wolf soul.

"Woof!"

The dark wolf cub excitedly got up, waiting for its master to feed it.

[Foundation Establishment Rank 7. Howling Moon Soul-Eroding Spell: Perfected]

Even with half a lifetime of immortal techniques, it is still only a lower third grade, and it would be somewhat difficult to deal with a cultivator in the middle stage of Jade Liquid.

Under the dark light of ill-gotten gains.

The crimson moon reappeared in Lin Shu's eyes.

This time, however, the wolf was nowhere to be seen.

Where did it go?

As he wondered what was happening, he suddenly noticed a shadow appearing on the edge of the crimson moon.

Then the shadow spread rapidly.

The moonlight grew dim, and a terrifying shadow enveloped the earth.

Wolf Lord Devours the Moon!

The moment the shadow filled her vision, Lin Shu felt a wave of darkness wash over her, as if she were being swallowed by a vast ocean, enveloped by a sense of powerlessness.

The soul, like the crimson moon being gradually devoured, slowly became fragmented.

[Foundation Establishment Grade 5. Moon Devouring Soul Shattering Spell: Perfected]

Lin Shu exhaled sharply, as if a drowning person had suddenly been rescued.

Even with a protective spiritual root, the deathly darkness that seemed to have taken the world's color away was still somewhat frightening.

He sat at the table, breathing heavily, until he heard Yu Sheng's soft snoring behind him, which slowly calmed him down.

The more comfortable it is to do good deeds, the more tormented it is to spend bad money.

Lin Shu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment.

Now that I have many more tricks up my sleeve, it seems I can start to consider what those little demons were talking about.

Spiritual milk transformed from Blood Spirit Stone.

According to the young man with the one ear, this thing could even help the girl break through to the Core Formation stage.

It's truly a pity that such a wonderful thing has fallen into the hands of immortals.

……

The next day.

Inside the inn.

The mountain god was not here today, but the cooks and servants still prepared meals for the laborers as usual.

Although it was past noon, there were still quite a few people eating.

Yu Qing had barely stepped in when she instinctively frowned and covered her nose.

He glanced at the miners, his expression a mixture of disdain and a strange gleam.

"I heard you came here early this morning to demand an explanation."

"What's wrong? Who upset you again?"

Yu Qing shook his head and walked into the inn, looking at Chen Xiangzhu, who had a gloomy expression, not far away.

Besides her, Deacon Luo was also sitting nearby.

"What's it to you?"

Chen Xiangzhu sneered repeatedly, unusually showing no respect for this little mountain god.

"Tsk tsk, look how angry you are."

Yu Qing sat down at the table. He had been made a fool of himself by the eight-legged spider a few days ago, and now that he had heard the news, he was naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity.

"They're just a few cultivators from the Great Shun Dynasty. Even without the Lin family, your disciples alone wouldn't have earned this much merit. In fact, they would have suffered a loss for nothing. You should thank them, though."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangzhu narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "I would rather they died there, at least that would preserve the Chen family's reputation."

This was obviously said in anger.

Although most of those guarding the gate last night were new disciples, Lu Yun was one of her core members.

But these people could help earn merit, so how could they be willing to die in vain?

The problem is, they only survived because of that disciple of the Yu family!

This matter will spread quickly.

Chen Xiangzhu could almost imagine that the disciples of Shihu City would sneak into the inn to demand the Zishi from those two damned people.

If this matter were to actually succeed, would I then only be able to earn those insignificant merits of guarding the pass?

For a dignified descendant of immortals to have to stoop down and pick food from a disciple's bowl, wouldn't that make him look like a beggar?!

That's why she came to keep watch early in the morning.

But this isn't a solution either.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Chen Xiangzhu restrained her temper and decided to discuss a solution with the little mountain god.

Whether it's secretly eliminating that Lin fellow or joining forces to intimidate the other disciples, we can't just stand by and watch things continue like this.

"I?"

Yu Qing remained unusually calm.

He waved his hand dismissively: "I have no interest in your petty achievements."

"Scattered bits and pieces..."

Chen Xiangzhu's eyelids twitched; she couldn't figure out where this newcomer got such a big mouth from.

Just a few days ago, they were acting like scoundrels for a few dozen merit points, and now they're suddenly being generous?

"So, Brother Yu, you've made some new income?" She suppressed her temper and forced a charming smile again.

"Then it's not convenient for me to tell you."

Yu Qing now feels rather disdainful of associating with this group of people.

If this succeeds, he will be able to surpass this Chen guy in a short period of time.

As for those two idiots upstairs, they won't even see their own heels.

I had previously thought of winning over Lin Shu, but now it seems I was really short-sighted.

This kind of person isn't worth his time or effort.

"You're awake?"

Deacon Luo remained silent from beginning to end until he saw the figure walking upstairs, at which point he slowly stood up.

The hunchbacked old man had clearly not slept all night.

His eyes were cloudy as he stared intently at the young man: "I heard that you have killed another enemy cultivator, so I thought I would come and calculate your merits as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your trouble, Steward."

Lin Shu yawned and took out the Destiny Plate from her storage bag.

The moment eight strands of life blood surged forth.

Chen Xiangzhu nearly ground her teeth to powder: "..."

She knew that these lifebloods had nothing to do with her, but Lin Shu was able to kill so many mid-stage Jade Liquid cultivators all by himself.

That means that if the other party is willing, he can really do what he said earlier, making many disciples panic and lose all loyalty!

Yu Qing swallowed hard.

Although he said he looked down on it, he hadn't yet obtained that great achievement, and a hint of envy couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

"Hehe, you're welcome."

Deacon Luo smiled and quickly accepted the life blood: "Yongzhou Pass hasn't had a new disciple of your strength for a long time. It won't be long before you become famous, truly famous!"

No one noticed.

His lowered eyes were already filled with shock and fear.

It tastes just like Yuan Yin's!

As expected, the Shun dynasty was angry with him.

Since this time, Yuan Yin was sent, and all of them were mid-stage Jade Liquid cultivators.

That means the other party didn't come with the intention of taking his life, but most likely wanted an explanation and a substantial compensation.

This might be my last chance.

But now, even that opportunity has been extinguished.

If no response is made, then it will truly be seen that Luo colluded with Lin Shu to lure cultivators from the Great Shun Dynasty to come and deliver merits.

"Eight mid-stage Jade Elixir cultivators, each worth 500 merit points, totaling 4,000 points. Plus the 35 points you had left, I've noted them all down. What do you plan to exchange them for?"

Deacon Luo raised his head, steadying his voice, hoping to glean some clue from the young man's face.

For example, the other party may have already discovered the truth of the matter.

The reason he hesitated to speak out was that he intended to use this as leverage to do something together with me.

Unfortunately, no.

Lin Shu's face was completely blank.

The other person still had that damn lazy and nonchalant look!

In front of them were furious cultivators from the Great Shun Dynasty, and behind them, this kid had their tails grabbed.

This person is clearly trying to drive me to my death!

"Let's exchange for ten stones first, and I'll think about the rest later."

Lin Shu seemed oblivious to the struggle on the old man's face.

It's satisfying to work yourself to the bone and get paid.

They now want to reconcile.

Let's ask Tian Jingyuan what to do.

"it is good."

Deacon Luo handed the horoscope back: "I have already reported the news. The Azure Phoenix Jade Pendant and the inherited spiritual light will be sent to you together."

He turned around somewhat stiffly and walked out of the inn.

Unbeknownst to him, a fragment of his soul had silently adhered to his back.

"..."

Upon hearing the name of the Azure Phoenix Jade Token, Chen Xiangzhu's expression suddenly changed slightly.

She then realized what was happening.

Including the previous 1,200, Lin Shu has accumulated 5,000 merits in such a short time.

He will soon become a formal disciple who can represent the Yu family in the world.

By then, the other party will have a protective charm.

Trying to touch him would only lead to more trouble.

Thinking of this, she frowned and left the inn without saying a word.

Just as I stepped out of the street, I saw the hunchbacked old man waiting silently ahead.

"Is something the matter?" Chen Xiangzhu stopped in her tracks, puzzled.

"He wants to exchange for ten more stones," Deacon Luo said softly.

"I'm not deaf, I can hear."

Chen Xiangzhu sneered coldly, "Although you are a steward, you are ultimately just a disciple. Do you think you can mock me, a descendant of immortals, like Yu Qing?"

"I, Luo, dare not."

The hunchbacked old man shook his head, his cloudy eyes suddenly becoming much clearer: "I deliberately suppressed the Azure Phoenix Jade Token. He will be guarding the pass again in three days, which means there are still ten days left."

"The matter that Young Master Chen wanted to discuss with that little mountain god earlier..."

"Could you tell the old man about it too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Deacon Luo's face was filled with coldness.

He has already given the other party a chance.

Since that man surnamed Lin is so aggressive and wants to kill me.

Let's give it a try.

Is it your talent, new disciple, that's stronger, or is it the accumulation of my many years of experience in Shihu that's more solid?

They're just eight mid-stage Jade Liquid cultivators.

If you really let loose, you can kill just as many people.

Moreover, this scoundrel is new to the area and doesn't know how to behave himself, offending far too many people.

Famous?

That's wishful thinking!

"Would you like to hear it?"

Chen Xiangzhu paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that when Lu Yun returned to report, he said that Lu Yun crushed the stone because he heard the enemy cultivators mention Deacon Luo, which meant that Lu Yun had come prepared.

Feeling powerless against them, they resorted to this desperate measure.

"Tsk."

She then recalled that Lin Shu had been unusually assigned to guard the pass alone, and coincidentally encountered four enemy cultivators.

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Xiangzhu wasn't too angry.

These new disciples were worthless, their lives were worth very little, and besides, they were betraying Lin Shu.

It seems this old man is really desperate, actually handing me his weakness.

Once this matter is resolved.

She was quite interested in the channel that Deacon Luo controlled, since Yongzhou Pass belonged to the Yu family, not her Chen family.

"Sure, let's chat."

Chen Xiangzhu remained calm, took another step, and led the hunchbacked old man toward a secluded place.

She had only taken two steps when she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

"Um?"

She glanced at him sideways.

A group of merchants, young and old, eight people in total, walked by, heading wearily towards the inn.

"That kid's got him so infuriating, he's started to become paranoid."

Chen Xiangzhu only looked away after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

Inside the inn.

Lin Shu was also stunned for a moment, almost thinking that her supernatural power had been discovered.

Continue to let the divided soul stick close to Chen and Luo.

He looked at the merchants who had entered the lobby.

"Shopkeeper, we meet again. We'll leave our goods in the backyard for now. This mountain road is too difficult to travel; even horses can't keep up, let alone people. We'll stay here for a few days."

The monkey chuckled and waved at the counter.

The girl readily followed the servant upstairs to the second floor.

The remaining people began to inventory the goods.

Everything seemed perfectly normal.

Only the simply dressed woman in the crowd, whose face still looked somewhat weak, couldn't help but steal a glance at the shopkeeper while helping to pick up things.

"..."

Lin Shu sometimes wishes she wouldn't have such a sharp gaze.

They try to detect even the slightest anomalies.

He just couldn't quite figure it out.

This group of people is so poor that even the seriously injured County Magistrate Gu was dragged out to save face, and he still has to compete with the immortals.

What's the point?
