Starting with Taoist priests from Maoshan to cultivate immortality

Outside the Stone Forest Maze.

A tall disciple from one of the five major sects got into a heated argument with the armor-piercing cone.

He is Guo Yu, a disciple of the Blazing Fire Sect.

The Blazing Fire Sect cultivates fire-attribute techniques, and is most lacking in fire-attribute materials.

Therefore, upon seeing the rare fire-tailed rat carcass, they immediately went forward to try and take it for themselves.

The armor-piercing spiker couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop them.

Guo Yu said with a disdainful expression:

"Where did this one-armed monster come from, daring to cause trouble for my Blazing Fire Sect?"

He looked disdainful:

"Are you an accomplice of these evil spirits?"

Get out of here right now, or I'll kill you.

The remaining disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect unleashed their power to aid their own people.

Disciples from Xuanzhen Temple and Shenquan Sect watched from the sidelines:

"Haha, Guo Yu really couldn't resist making a move."

"Perfect, let him deal with these monsters and rogue cultivators, then we can reap the benefits. He can be the villain, and we'll get the kickbacks."

The disciples led by Xuanzhen Temple and Shenquan Sect had already decided that once Guo Yu had taught these ignorant fools a lesson, they would step forward to play the good guy, and wouldn't they be grateful then?

Lu Cheng frowned, stepped forward, and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Fellow Daoist of the Blazing Fire Sect, I am Lü Cheng, the senior disciple of the Changhai Sect."

He pointed to the corpse of the fire-tailed rat on the ground:

"They are warriors who sacrificed themselves to break the demon realm, not monsters that can be plundered at will. Please give them the respect they deserve."

After a night of fighting, he had come to highly regard his comrades who had fought alongside him.

Guo Yu glanced at Lü Cheng, his face showing disdain:

Does Guobei County have a sect called Changhaimen?

"What kind of nobody dares to make a sound in front of my Blazing Fire Sect?"

"you!"

Lu Cheng's face turned red, and he suddenly pointed a finger.

At this moment, Luo Qingshan stepped forward to comfort Lü Cheng, speaking up:

"I am Luo Qingshan, the senior disciple of the Silver Serpent Sect. Guo Yu, you don't even know my name?"

Two years ago, they had fought, and Guo Yu lost to him with half a move.

Although Guo Yu didn't ignore Luo Qingshan as he did Lü Cheng, his attitude remained indifferent:

"Oh, it's you. You beat me by half a move last time, but you were just lucky."

He clenched his fist, and a burst of fiery energy swept out:

"Now that I have awakened the 'Fire Spirit Body,' you will be lying on the ground in less than three moves."

boom!

The flames transformed into a bird and flew past Luo Qingshan with a whooshing sound.

Having fought all night, Luo Qingshan's spiritual energy was depleted, and he was suddenly blown to the ground by the heat wave from the flying birds.

"Haha, they can't even stand up straight, yet they dare to come out and defend others? How laughable!"

The disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect laughed loudly.

"You've gone too far!"

The disciples of the Silver Serpent Sect drew their swords, wanting to stand up for Luo Qingshan.

Luo Qingshan's face was gloomy as he stopped his fellow disciples.

They had just come from a great battle and were no match for the disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect. If a real conflict broke out, they would be the ones to suffer.

At this moment, a rogue cultivator suddenly remembered Lin Xiao's existence:

"Where is Boss Lin?"

"He is a disciple of the True Talisman Sect. With him around, he will definitely stand up for us."

"That's right, Boss Lin just directly helped defeat the Foundation Establishment stage demon, saving us."

"Boss Lin, where are you?"

We can't live without you!

In the eyes of his underlings, Lin Xiao had become the hero who broke through the ghost realm and saved them.

Upon hearing this name, Guo Yu's expression immediately turned serious.

As a genius of the True Talisman Sect, Lin Xiao's name is very well-known among the six major sects.

Guo Yu sighed softly:

"Since he was the one who broke through the Ghost Domain, his strength must be above mine."

"Boss Lin!"

Seeing that Guo Yu's momentum had weakened, his underlings shouted even louder and began searching everywhere.

"Who's calling me?"

Lin Xiao, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly sat up.

There was a demon's corpse next to him, which startled him.

Ever since he landed on the human-skinned beast-headed puppet and was blown away, he was terrified and turned pale. He hid in a corner and pretended to be dead without looking back, and has been there ever since.

Fortunately, the location where he was hiding was not affected in any way.

He stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and kicked the demon's corpse hard:

"Even in death you'll scare me! I'll kick you to death!"

"Boss Lin, you're here!"

A rogue cultivator spotted Lin Xiao and immediately shouted excitedly.

Lin Xiao jolted awake, grabbed the demon's corpse by the neck, and pretended to say:

"I didn't expect there would still be one who slipped through the net, but in the end, he couldn't escape my eyes."

The rogue cultivator looked on with admiration:

"Boss Lin is indeed insightful; this kind of evil spirit cannot escape your discerning eyes."

Lin Xiao was quite pleased with his younger brother's flattery, and he waved his hand and said:

"Speak, what brings you here?"

The rogue cultivator said:

"Boss Lin, the disciples of the five major sects have stolen the spoils we worked so hard to obtain and are even threatening us. You must teach them a lesson and stand up for us."

"What?"

"Outrageous! How could such a thing happen?"

Lin Xiao straightened his back, filled with righteous indignation, "This is simply a disgrace to our six major sects!"

"If we compete with ordinary cultivators for profit, the entire cultivator community in Guobei County will laugh at us."

The rogue cultivator said with tears in his eyes:

"Boss Lin, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"Guo Yu of the Blazing Fire Sect is currently facing off against Fellow Daoists Luo Qingshan and Lü Cheng. They are already at a disadvantage, and we hope you can go and help them."

Upon hearing the name Guo Yu, sweat dripped down Lin Xiao's forehead.

He had heard of this person's name before; he was cruel and ruthless.

Although they are righteous cultivators, they are even more ruthless than demonic cultivators when they fight.

"If I go, and he comes at me without even asking what happened, wouldn't that expose my true colors?"

"What will become of my lifelong brilliance?"

The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the paler his face became. "No, I have to find a way to get out of here quickly."

He picked up the hand of the demon's corpse from the ground and tried to stab it into his leg, pretending to be injured by the demon's aura.

As soon as Lin Xiao picked up the evil spirit's corpse, his henchmen immediately rushed forward and snatched it away.

"Boss Lin, let me handle this little thing."

Then he shouted loudly to the crowd not far away:

"Brothers, Boss Lin is here. He has promised to stand up for us."

Very good!

Upon hearing this, the rogue cultivators swarmed to Lin Xiao's side.

Lin Xiao stood frozen in place, his mouth slightly agape.

Before he could even react, he was surrounded by a group of henchmen and taken to the scene of the conflict.

Guo Yu glanced at it discreetly and said:

"As expected, he has an extraordinary appearance. Faced with this situation, his expression didn't even move. He has composure."

Lin Xiao mentally cursed, "Why do I always have to run into these kinds of things?"

Is this the price of becoming a leader?

Forget it, I'll just stick to it.

He thought about it and decided to use the old method again.

The spiritual energy flowed into the jade pendant on his chest, and a majestic aura swept across the scene.

The disciples of the three major sects sensed this aura and their expressions turned serious.

Guo Yu thought to himself:

"Such a powerful aura. I've only ever seen this level of skill among the inner disciples of the six major sects."

Those who came this time were all the best of the outer disciples. The inner disciples were all geniuses, arrogant and looked down on this secret realm.

Many of them have even broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Xiao was extremely adept at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Guo Yu was temporarily intimidated, he sharpened his gaze and questioned him:

"Fellow Daoist Guo, you are supposed to be a genius disciple of the Blazing Fire Sect, why did you do such a disgraceful thing?"

"Do you know that these cultivators and demons risked their lives to survive from the Ghost Realm, and many of them had their path to immortality severed from that point on?"

"These insignificant spoils are utterly inadequate to make up for the damage they have suffered."

The disciples of the three major sects were rendered speechless by his words.

Guo Yu opened his mouth to refute.

Lin Xiao didn't give him a chance, instead putting on a rather regretful expression and standing with his hands behind his back:

"Now, demons and monsters roam freely in Guobei County, causing widespread suffering and death."

"As leaders of the righteous path, our six major sects should set an example and unite sincerely."

"How could you do such a despicable thing?"

"What will other sects in other counties think of us if word gets back to us?"

How can we establish ourselves?

Lin Xiao's words were heartfelt and resonated deeply with the hearts of the rogue cultivators and demons.

Luo Qingshan and Lü Cheng were moved and said:

"I never imagined Fellow Daoist Lin possessed such a magnanimous spirit. I even deliberately provoked a conflict with him before entering the Ghost Realm. Now that I think about it, I truly deserve to die!"

The armor-piercing spike and the king of spikes were deeply shocked.

They have never had a good impression of humans, but after hearing these deafening words, they realized that they had been too radical in the past.

There are good people among humans.

Jiang Yu and Ying Ning also arrived at the scene of the conflict.

He looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Lin Xiao and was deeply shocked.

This guy is wasting his talent by not acting.

Guo Yu's face turned red, and he became extremely angry:

"Stop spouting these empty platitudes at me. The path of cultivation is all about the survival of the fittest. My fist is bigger, so I get to decide how to allocate resources."

His fire spirit body erupted with flames, and he pointed a finger, saying:

"Why don't you step forward and we'll exchange a few blows?"

"Damn it, I let it slip!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Yu regretted it.

He's a man who can't control himself when he gets angry.

Lin Xiao's cultivation was definitely above his, but for the sake of his own face, Guo Yu had already made up his mind to fight him.

Lin Xiao was stunned and cursed inwardly, "You blockhead, why don't you just leave quietly? How am I supposed to save face by making such a fuss?"

Suddenly, he spotted Jiang Yu in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

Huhu.

He forced a smile to appear on his lips, his two fingers like swords.

"If you want war, then let's fight. I, Lin Xiao, have never been afraid of anyone's threats."

"Alright!" The cultivators cheered.

"Brother Lin truly deserves to be called a warrior who faced two Foundation Establishment stage human skin beast head puppets head-on."

Last night, some rogue cultivators witnessed Lin Xiao falling from the flying boat onto the human-skinned beast-headed puppet. They assumed Lin Xiao did it on his own, so they brought it up here to bolster their confidence.

Guo Yu and the other disciples from the three major sects were secretly surprised: they hadn't expected him to be so brave and fierce.

With Jiang Yu by his side, Lin Xiao felt more confident.

He waved his hand modestly and said:

"Actually, I didn't do anything; it was just good luck."

The group of underlings bowed and said:

"Boss Lin, please don't be so modest."

Lin Xiao casually swung his arm and said:

"I'll give you one incense stick's time to think it over carefully."

Then he followed Jiang Yu and said:

"Junior Brother Jiang, I have something to tell you. Come with me."

Jiang Yu and Ying Ning followed Lin Xiao to a rock and fell.

Lin Xiao knelt on the ground:

"Boss, help me!"

Jiang Yu's lips twitched:

"Your knees are so weak, is there something seriously wrong with you?"

"It needs to be properly treated."

Lin Xiao pleaded:

"Please stop joking with me and help me one more time."

A smile appeared on Jiang Yu's lips as he rubbed his fingers together and said:

"No problem, we're fellow disciples."

Lin Xiao looked helpless:

"But I have no cultivation resources left."

Jiang Yu's smile grew even deeper:

"Just write an IOU, I'm not that kind of greedy person."

Lin Xiao was stunned.

"If you don't agree, then forget it."

Jiang Yu made a move to leave, but Lin Xiao quickly grabbed him:

"Okay, I owe you."

Then Lin Xiao signed a loan agreement for 3000 spirit stones.

Lin Xiao realized, "Brother Jiang, let's switch identities quickly."

He planned to use the same old scheme as before, having Jiang Yu use the Thousand Illusion Mask to transform into his identity and fight against Guo Yu and the others.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly:

"No need for that, I have a better way."

"?"

Lin Xiao was puzzled.

……

Three minutes later, Lin Xiao returned to the battlefield with a confident expression.

He said to Guo Yu:

"You've thought it through enough, let's get started."

At this moment, Guo Yu keenly noticed that Lin Xiao's left arm was wrapped with a golden chain, and his right hand was carrying a bronze gong.

These two items are definitely not ordinary.

This time, Jiang Yu did not choose to impersonate someone else. Instead, he gave the Soul Binding Lock and the Soul-Startling Gong to Lin Xiao, while he controlled them from behind.

Lin Xiao urged impatiently:

"Get started now, anyone who's afraid is a coward."

Guo Yu's face flushed red. After a moment of internal struggle, he whispered:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I think you are right. As righteous cultivators, the disciples of our six major sects should set an example."

The two magical artifacts were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, leaving Guo Yu with no will to fight.

Lin Xiao, on the contrary, became even more excited:

"No, we have to fight!"

To win, he had to write an IOU for 3000 spirit stones. If he didn't put on a show of bravado, he would be at a huge loss.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but hurl insults at Guo Yu, trying to provoke his fiery temper once again.

Just as he was about to speak, the spirit-binding lock on his arm suddenly tightened, which was clearly Jiang Yu warning him.

Suddenly, a gaunt, red-bearded man landed in front of the crowd, his powerful aura spreading outwards.

The disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect cupped their hands and said:

"Greetings, Third Elder."

This man is Guo Tong, the third elder of the Blazing Fire Sect.

He suddenly yanked his sleeve, knocking Guo Yu to the ground.

"He always boasts that he's unparalleled in the world, but when it comes to actually doing something, he has no guts at all. It's really shameful."

Guo Yu looked aggrieved:

"Third Uncle..."

Guo Tong cursed:

"How dare you call me that? Our Guo family has no good-for-nothing descendant like you."

"Brother Guo, there's no need to be angry. You're just a young man, you have a long road ahead of you. A temporary setback is nothing to worry about."

Two more Foundation Establishment cultivators landed in the arena, one of them a burly man with a bushy beard and wide-open, tiger-like eyes.

Another slender man, dressed in red, with golden bells dangling from his ears.

One is Zhao Dakai, an elder of the Divine Fist Sect, and the other is Li Yao, an elder of the Xuanzhen Temple.

The three elders had different expressions.

Guo Tong stared coldly at Lin Xiao, his expression unfriendly, and said:

"The disciples of the True Talisman Sect are becoming more and more domineering. Since you love to spar, why don't you have a go with this old man?"

Lin Xiao was so frightened that his whole body went cold, and he glanced sideways at Jiang Yu beside him:

"Brother, help me!"
