Tianfu Mountain, back mountain.
"Is this the Dark Water Tempering Body? It's really exciting!"
A training pool with a radius of three feet and three feet.
It is filled with Styx water obtained from the dark swamps of the Larch Mountains, and there are white spots in the sun, adding a little mystery to the dark blue.
Lin Shan was sitting cross-legged in the pool, shirtless, with the horizontal line just covering his abdomen. The water around him was like a tide coming from all directions towards the center point.
Every time it passed over his body, his skin instantly turned white, and then the blood turned deep red again, and traces of white smoke that looked like steam but were actually cold air floated out from the top of his head.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear a subtle "bang bang" sound.
Lin Shan was enduring unspeakable pain.
It felt like his whole body was being picked out with knives and countless small needles were pricking him here and there.
While he gritted his teeth and endured it, his whole body trembled, and he actually felt a little sore!
"Dark Water Body Tempering Technique" is a secret body-building technique of the demon clan. It is very rough for humans, and the process is extremely torturous.
But once you can get through it, you will feel that your bones and flesh are being repeatedly washed away, tightly reorganized in a strange arrangement, and become tougher.
This body-building secret technique has a total of four levels, corresponding to the demon clan's Qi training stage, foundation building stage, golden elixir stage, and Yuan Ying stage.
The first two levels are very easy to practice, because Linshan already has the foundation of three kinds of legal bodies and golden bodies, which can advance quickly. It only took less than three months to complete them all.
But when you reach the third level, the difficulty suddenly rises.
After practicing for half a year, he knew he had to slow down.
As the saying goes, haste makes waste.
Physical training is inherently a process that damages the body. By destroying your body and overdrawing your potential to improve physical strength, you need to do it step by step.
If necessary, add medicinal foods to neutralize and regulate relaxation.
Otherwise, if you use dark water for a long time to wash away the cold air, it will accumulate and become a disease, leaving hidden wounds in every hidden corner. It will be very troublesome to expel it in the future.
Brother Ji has perfected the third level by slowly taking time and accumulating bit by bit over thirty years.
As for the fourth level, it not only requires the water of Styx of level five or above, but also needs corresponding cultivation support, which is not something that can be controlled by the golden elixir stage.
The water from the Styx they collected in the Dark Swamp was overly diluted and was only at the level of fourth-level spiritual liquid. The limit was that it was effective against secret techniques within the third level.
Now that Lin Shan has initially mastered the third level, he can only stop temporarily and wait for the long and hard work.
For him, body refining is just another means, not the main task at this stage.
Because it is impossible to reach the level where the physical body can withstand a magic weapon just through physical training alone.
Under the same circumstances, in a head-to-head confrontation in physics, half of the factors depend on the density between the two objects!
How dense is the magic weapon, and how dense is the human body?
Even the demon clan has never heard that any golden elixir stage can resist magic weapons. This is simply unrealistic.
However, the benefits of body refining are reflected in all aspects, not only toughness and durability, but also spell resistance, gravity resistance, poison resistance, recovery speed, etc.
Sometimes a small advantage is enough to help secure a victory or save a life!
High-level monks have a long life span. If they can develop in all aspects, everyone would want to become a hexagonal warrior and make up for all shortcomings.
End the exercise.
Lin Shan got up and put on his clothes, went to the edge of the training pool, took out another magic weapon and started to practice it.
This is a trophy obtained from the Snake Demon King.
【Tianhe Bucket】
Quality: magic weapon
Introduction: Refined from the fifth-level spiritual material Black True Water Iron, it contains thirty-six levels of magic prohibitions and has the effects of trapping, cutting off, and collecting enemy magic weapons. It contains the twelfth branch of the Tianhe River in the Immortal Realm and the seventh thousand.
The water sources of the three hundred and seventy tributaries can gather water spiritual energy to create the water of the Tianhe River.
Strengthening requirements: 64 points
...
With this ancient treasure, the Snake Demon King almost took away the top magic weapons of Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, and controlled and sealed off the entire place. It must be the most precious thing in its collection.
There is a 'water source' in it.
Similar to the evil seeds of evil spirits, the demon seeds of evil spirits, the spiritual eyes of spiritual springs, etc., they can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into the corresponding temporary liquid.
The water of Tianhe!
Tianhe is rumored to hang high in the ninth heaven of the fairy world.
The vast water flows endlessly.
In the Heavenly Court, there is even a powerful establishment called the 'Tianhe Navy', in which every heavenly soldier and general is the best among the best.
The water source in Lin Shan's hands has been bred in tributaries that are diluted into unknown numbers. It is far from the charm of the water of the Tianhe River, but it is rare enough in the mortal world.
This ancient treasure is the fourth ancient treasure in Linshan, besides the Five Elements Bell of Dingsha, the Fengbo Pavilion, and the twelve complete sets of the Snake Tushita Flag!
While an ordinary Golden Core monk is still running around for magic weapons, he has already used ancient treasures. The difference is not as big as that!
"Thinking about it, it should be enough to go to the Yuxing Secret Treasures to compete with my good brother for inheritance!"
He knew that Young Master Jiuyou, as the second generation demon, must have a lot of good things, but after being promoted for so long, he was well equipped.
After the Tianhe bucket has been completely refined and can be retracted and released freely.
He took out the two Snake Tushita flags that Shui Bingyue gave back to him.
This set of treasures has finally been completed with twelve flags. It can be said to be a complete set of top-notch magic weapons!
Because it was made using the demonic body of the Snake Demon King, it is not an exaggeration to call it an ancient treasure level.
The same sacrifice was made by the heart, and it was put together with the other ten flags, and finally it was done.
The complete version of the Snake Demon Array can finally be displayed!
Thinking of the Snake Demon King, there was one thing that had to be said, which gave him a headache.
That was the demon baby of the Snake Demon King. He originally brought it back with the intention of interrogating him to find out where his wealth was that the python leader from his hometown had not had time to transfer.
But before he could do anything, he was taken away by the Demon King Chong who came looking for him.
It seems that I can only apologize to Zhong Shenxiu and Shui Bingyue in the future, as they will not be able to get this unexpected fortune.
Fortunately, I was compensated by the Insect Demon King and was given a passage token and an insect nest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Take out the Melting Hive.
Nine months ago, he put a large number of black beetle and rhinoceros eggs into it separately, wanting to experience what kind of surprise this insect nest could bring to him.
The space in the insect nest is very large and is subdivided into many sections.
After all, it is a treasure used by the Insect Demon King to carry the Zerg army with him. There is even a special Insect King transformation room in the center!
There is also a small pool inside, filled with sparkling liquid.
Lin Shan used an enhanced panel to identify it, and it turned out to be a rare high-level insect breeding liquid. I had never heard of it!
It is very possible that the Insect King did not use up all the items originally, but the Insect Demon King directly packaged them all and gave them to himself.
He didn't dare to let Xiaodie in.
I'm afraid that this little ancestor will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
All the insect eggs in other small compartments have hatched out, and the densely packed black beetles are eating insect food and are on the road to self-reproduction and evolution.
The number of unicorns is slightly smaller, but the progress is ahead of schedule. Some have already begun to fight with the poison and devour the same kind!
Among them, there were a few large ones with purple spots on their golden carapace. Lin Shan didn't know if this was a mutation.
However, it is still very weak and far from being able to provide much help to itself.
Lin Shan doesn't care, he just needs to keep it anyway, whatever it will eventually develop into, he has no use for now.
As for the stone egg brought back by the three Black Skull Demon Lords, it was still lying quietly in a corner, motionless and lifeless. Lin Shan had no time to think about it.
After waving, a transmission note flew over.
Inside was the voice of Li Yuanjie, the leader of the Intelligence Hall under his command.
"Master, there have been changes in the Guo region of Jin!"
Lin Shan stood up suddenly, sealed the place with a formation, and left the back mountain.
...
Qianshan, Information Hall.
"Tell me how many people are on your trip and what is the deadline given to you by the higher authorities!"
Li Yuanjie is interrogating several recent arrests.
These spies are all natives of Lu.
They take people's money and do things for them. They don't even know who is the sponsor behind the task. Anyway, it is business received from the black market.
There is only one mission: to investigate the recent whereabouts of Xun Gu Cult Master Lin Shan!
But investigation is investigation, and there will always be mistakes.
Not to mention that in the Lujiang River Basin, which can be said to be Lin Shan's home field, there is a chance that he will be discovered during the investigation, and then people from the Intelligence Hall will track him down and arrest him.
"Senior, there are eight of us in our group. Except for Wu Laoer who ran away, the rest are all here! What they want above is the whereabouts of your leader in the last six months!"
The prisoners answered truthfully, trembling with fear and begging for mercy to let them go.
Just to survive, that's why I took the job on the black market, and I didn't have the courage to go against the Xun Gu Sect.
"Did you find anything?"
Lin Shan walked in from the outside, and the sunlight at the door was blocked.
Li Yuanjie signaled to the disciples around him to take the prisoners down, and only reported to Lin Shan after everyone was gone.
"Leader, this is the fifth batch of people who have been arrested recently!"
"Since three months ago, a new secret mission appeared on the black market to investigate your recent whereabouts. We didn't take it seriously at first, because there are always a few forces who want to investigate your recent whereabouts."
"They didn't dare to expose themselves, so they could only post rewards on the black market and invite locals in the Lujiang Basin to search for information."
"Our Intelligence Hall has always introduced counter-reconnaissance measures, which means we deliberately accept missions and then provide false information to receive rewards, thereby slowly getting closer to revealing who is behind the scenes."
"The problem is that we pretended to infiltrate, and actually got the elixirs and magic weapons from the Jin Kingdom from the sponsor who issued the mission!"
...
Li Yuanjie was originally from the Guo State, a subsidiary of the Jin State, and he knew everything there. When he saw the items in his hometown, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
There are many forces investigating the leader, including merchants in northwest Shandong, large forces outside the Lujiang River Basin in western Shandong, and even Shangyang Academy. But why would someone from the Demonic Dao come?
He kept sending people to cross paths, approach, sell false information, and gain trust. Finally, by chance, the spies heard a few words about the origins of this group of people.
It actually comes from the Demonic Way of Jin!
In order to better share the worries of the leader, Li Yuanjie decisively led the large number of disciples of the Information Hall and rushed into the black market to kill those guys.
Generally, large-scale fights are not allowed in Xiuzhenfang City and Immortal City.
Unless the local managers can't help it.
Wangyue City was destroyed by the ancestors of the Dai family. If the ancestors of the Yang family hadn't taken the lead, they wouldn't have even farted!
Chixiao City and Happy Forest are fighting fiercely, also because the local local snakes do not have the strength to maintain order and can only become a springboard for external forces.
Xun Gu Sect is now at its peak. Which force in the Lujiang River Basin dares not to give face? They can only hold their noses and admit it, and they have to take the initiative to conceal it for them, fearing that it will affect the reputation of their own city.
Unfortunately, that campaign ended in failure.
Not a single person was caught alive.
Because these lurking people from the Demonic Kingdom are all dead soldiers, they will commit suicide decisively when the situation is not good to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and being forced to confess or search for their souls.
Subsequently, Li Yuanjie carefully analyzed these people and the storage space, and recognized that they should be the dead soldiers of his old enemy Swallowing Star Sect!
If it were anyone else, the clues might have been lost, but Li Yuanjie knew too much about the Star Swallowing Gate, and he still found some clues.
This is not the only group of people sent by the Swallowing Star Sect to the State of Lu!
The other roads are also very hidden, and there is basically no contact at all. They all work on their own, just to avoid being implicated by the same person.
Subsequent intensive investigation revealed that several more signs of spying had surfaced, and they were also hiding behind the scenes, using local stand-ins to gather intelligence.
"You mean, the Star Swallowing Gate has noticed me?"
Lin Shan was a bit incredible.
He had only secretly asked Li Yuanjie to pay attention to the Star Swallowing Gate, and had not exposed himself, but how did the other side know about him?
Could it be that Li Yuanjie was exposed?
"My subordinate has changed his appearance since he came to the Lu Kingdom. Even if the other party comes to seek the ancient religion, he will never recognize me. There must be another reason."
Lin Shan nodded and did not dwell on this point.
If Li Yuanjie's identity was not exposed, then there is another possibility that it was the handiwork of his good eldest brother, Young Master Jiuyou.
But what puzzled him was how did Young Master Jiuyou know that he also coveted the Yuxing secret treasure?
"What is the main purpose of their investigation?"
Li Yuanjie could only say four words, with uncertainty in his tone.
"It seems like... a celestial body?"
...
"The celestial body has finally been found!"
As night fell, we were on a cave platform in the middle of a mountainside cliff.
An old man with purple hair and a pouty mouth looked at the full moon and countless stars in the sky. He couldn't help but feel happy, and his heart felt boiling that he hadn't seen for a long time.
His body is translucent and floats lightly on the ground. At first glance, he looks like a wild ghost in the wilderness.
Those two greedy little guys from Swallowing Star Gate actually found clues for themselves!
He has been waiting for this moment for too long!
Because it is a weapon spirit, it cannot be exposed to the outside world. It can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests, waiting for the secret of Yuxing to be opened, so as to deal with the humans who break in from the outside world.
Hard work pays off, as long as it can seize the surrounding stars, then it can truly become a human being!
"Try every possible means to trick Zhou Tianxing into the Yuxing Secret Crypt. I will never treat you badly."
