"That's it." Ma Lao'er nodded. This was similar to his guess. The other party was a late-stage Yi Ning Dan monk and an elder. How could he come to this remote place if he hadn't been traveling by wandering around.
His cultivation level is not high, but he is the head of the family after all, and he is also a cunning person in terms of scheming. He thought in his mind and already thought of the words: "It is really destined. If the elder doesn't give up, you can stay here for a while."
, Although Huangqi Mountain is located in a remote place, the scenery is beautiful and the spiritual veins are quite extraordinary."
"Oh?" Lin Xuan nodded, noncommittal.
"Haha, if the elder is willing to stay here for a while, the junior family will do their best to serve you. The spiritual grass crystal will definitely satisfy you."
Now that Lin Xuan is their life-saving straw, Ma Lao'er naturally wants to desperately grasp this hope of continuing the family.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he felt very happy. Before he could speak, the other party actually promised a lot of benefits. Could it be that the identity of the elder of Demon Youmen is really so useful?
Lin Xuan shook his head secretly. As the saying goes, showing kindness for nothing is either adultery or stealing. The other party must be asking for something in return.
Lin Xuan's face showed a half-smiling expression and remained silent.
Ma Laoer felt uneasy, and his two children did not dare to say anything randomly. For a moment, the hall became quiet.
"I'm wandering around. If I have the right spiritual veins, it's not impossible to stop and do some repairs. It's just that Huangqi Mountain..." Lin Xuan said this and shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Of course, he did this on purpose.
"Senior, you don't know something. The spiritual veins of Huangqi Mountain are indeed average on the surface, but within a few miles of the spring, the spiritual energy is extremely abundant, which is enough to compare with first-class spiritual veins.
If the senior is willing to meditate here, the junior family is willing to give up this place for you to open a cave." Ma Lao'er said with a hopeful face.
"Fellow Taoist shows his kindness like this, I'm afraid I have something to ask for, so there's no need to beat around the bush, just say it directly." Lin Xuan took a sip of the fragrant tea and said calmly.
Ma Lao'er also felt that the heat was about the same, and if he continued to be sloppy, the other party would definitely not be happy. Whether the family could continue or not, he took a breath, calmed down his nervousness, and then slowly told the story of his grievances with the Zhang family.
Lin Xuan listened calmly, evaluating in his mind, and after carefully asking about the Zhang family's situation, he felt relieved. Although this matter was not a piece of cake for him, it was still very easy to solve.
Of course, he won't agree easily.
Seeing Lin Xuan's deep thought, Ma Laoer quickly reiterated his willingness to provide him with crystal stones and spiritual herbs.
Lin Xuan still had no intention of expressing his opinion. It was not that he was greedy, but that this was the rule in the world of immortality. Since the other party wanted something from him, of course he had to squeeze out as much benefit as possible.
Seeing that Lin Xuan was still not satisfied, Ma Laoer gritted his teeth.
"Senior, how do you think this junior's daughter is doing?"
"Huh?" Lin Xuan was stunned, not understanding what the other party was going to do.
"If the senior will not give up, the junior is willing to dedicate my little daughter to you. As long as she does not double repair the furnace, make the bed and fold the quilt, or serve in the food and daily life, the senior will do as she wishes."
After hearing this, the woman in black turned pale, and then a blush rose up. This woman's already extraordinary appearance made her look even more alluring.
It's a pity that Lin Xuan is not a womanizer. To be precise, he is very good at seducing women.
Although dual cultivation sounds very tempting, it will do more harm than good before it is condensed into the Nascent Soul.
What's more, no matter how beautiful this girl is, she is still far behind Qin Yan, Ouyang, and Peacock Fairy.
Therefore, Lin Xuan naturally politely declined this offer.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but Li is not a womanizer. How many crystal stones can you provide me in a year?"
"Well... to be honest with the elders, my Ma family is very small. Fortunately, there is a small crystal mine in Huangqi Mountain. I dare not tell you if there are more crystal mines, but I can still get 20,000 crystals every year." Mr. Ma felt a little sick.
The way.
Lin Xuan nodded. He also knew that he should give up when he saw a good outcome. He was originally thinking about how to open up a cave here, but he didn't expect that the other party not only gave up the best place, but also promised many benefits.
As for the requirement to be a backer, it really doesn't matter to me.
"Okay, seeing as the head of the family is so sincere, I agree."
"Thank you, elder."
Ma Laoer was overjoyed, and his son and daughter also hurriedly bowed and saluted. The worries that had troubled them for many days were solved so easily.
Ma Laoer hurriedly ordered people to set up a banquet to entertain Lin Xuan. Although immortal cultivators can live without food, they will occasionally enjoy their appetites.
Early the next morning, Lin Xuan left Huangqishan and, accompanied by Ma Laoer himself, went to visit the Zhang family.
There is nothing to describe what happened next. The Xiuxian family surnamed Zhang is also a peripheral force of the Demon Pyramid Sect. How dare they offend the powerful elders? What's more, Lin Xuan showed his hand inadvertently, showing that he was far superior.
Even though the other party was dissatisfied with the astonishing magical powers of the monks of the same level, he only seemed to be in agreement.
"Haha, senior is indeed a master, he keeps his secrets hidden..." On the way back, Ma Lao'er was naturally full of flattery. Of course, his expression became more and more respectful.
No wonder this person can become a high-ranking elder at such a young age, and his magical abilities are probably still above those of the monks who have reached the Great Perfection stage in the elixir condensation stage.
"The head of the family doesn't have to be so polite. He just takes people's money to eliminate disasters for them. But the place of spiritual veins you mentioned..."
"Haha, elders, don't be impatient. How dare the younger generation lie and deceive each other? Do you want to go there now?" Ma Laoer's expression showed a bit of surprise.
"Yeah." Lin Xuan nodded and didn't say much, but his expression was already obvious.
"Okay." Ma Laoer muttered in his heart, but naturally he would not ask any more questions foolishly. He changed the direction and turned to the southeast, while Lin Xuan followed silently.
Half an hour later, the two came to a valley. Ma Laoer's escape light slowly descended, and Lin Xuan released his spiritual consciousness to scan.
To be honest, he was a little surprised. The spiritual energy here was not weak, but it didn't seem to be much different from the nearby ones. Could it be that this old guy was boasting and lying?
But it's not like that. No matter the expression or movements of the other party, he is completely confident.
Lin Xuan shook his head and decided not to go into it further. Anyway, we will find out naturally if we go down.
Then the light all over his body dimmed and he also slowly landed.
At first, there was nothing, but when there were only twenty or thirty feet away from the ground, a transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of it.
Lin Xuan was shocked. Could it be that there was some kind of formation here? Did the other party want to plot against him?
This thought flashed through his mind, but immediately, Lin Xuan felt relieved. Without him, there was nothing weird about the screen, and he passed through it easily.
"Hey, this is..."
Lin Xuan's eyes widened, with a slightly moved expression on his face. After passing through this barrier, the spiritual energy suddenly became richer, several times that of the outside.
Even compared to first-class spiritual veins, it is not inferior in the slightest.
And Ma Laoer was waiting below with a smile.
After Lin Xuan landed next to him, he looked around carefully, and then said thoughtfully: "Master, the aura around here is not so strong innately, but it has been forcibly gathered due to some restrictions set by others.
?”
"Haha, senior, you really have good eyesight. This place has indeed been restricted by the ancient monks."
Lin Xuan remained calm and continued to explore with his spiritual consciousness. The entire valley covered an area of about ten acres and was wrapped in a semicircular transparent light bubble. The aura inside was much richer than outside.
This kind of situation is not something Lin Xuan has never seen before, but it is similar to the forbidden formation in Lingyao Mountain.
They are also the work of ancient monks, but one is used to collect earth fire, and the other is used to gather spiritual energy. However, the principles should be similar, but the scale in front of you is smaller.
"I wonder if the senior here is satisfied?"
"It's okay." Lin Xuan put his hands behind his back, looking for a suitable place to open a cave.
That old man was also very good at observing people's words. Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, he naturally knew that he wanted to drive away the guests, so he bowed his hands and left.
"Master, you really made a profit this time." Yue'er's charming voice reached her ears.
"You can't say that, everyone has their own needs, but this is indeed a suitable place for meditation." Lin Xuan said this, with a flick of his sleeves, green sword energy flew out, slashing horizontally and vertically.
Split it, and soon a small cave was opened.
It's right at the bottom of the cliff. Although it doesn't occupy much space, it has a training room, a living room, and a spirit beast room.
Lin Xuan then took out a set of formation flags and calmly arranged them outside. Although it was located in a remote place and there were Ma family members taking care of it, there should be no worries about safety, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.
After everything was properly arranged, Lin Xuan and Yue'er began to practice separately. He first placed the demon bees obtained from Yuxuan Sect in the spirit beast room.
This kind of poisonous insect is very powerful. What's even better is that they are all larvae. If you cultivate them well, once they mature, you will have another magical power to defeat the enemy.
Of course, before that, he had to identify all of them. This was naturally no problem for Lin Xuan. He had all the things he needed. He quickly arranged a small formation, and then poured out the blood.
The ceremony of recognizing the master was completed without any twists and turns.
What followed was careful cultivation. Of course, the time spent in this process did not happen overnight. Lin Xuan did not have time to do this for the time being, so he could only let it grow slowly while he returned to the practice room.
Now that I am in the late stage of elixir condensation, my top priority is to cultivate to the state of Dzogchen and then find a way to condense the Nascent Soul.
It sounds easy to say, but it is much more difficult to actually do it. Of course, Lin Xuan's journey to immortality has been bumpy and bumpy all the way, so naturally he will not be afraid of anything.
But in the meantime, he still had one thing to do. He slapped the storage bag and a jade bottle flew out from it.
