Immortal Road.

Chapter 104 Crisis Ahead
When he returned to Nightingale again, Lin Shan suddenly discovered that there was another immortal cultivator in charge of the Marquis Bowang's Mansion again.

The Grand Elder introduced him to someone, and it turned out that the young man in front of him who was at the second level of Qi training was the great-grandson of the Grand Elder.

The matter is actually somewhat related to Lin Shan.

It turned out that the great-grandson of the Grand Elder had also tried to cultivate immortality, but was stuck at the first level of sensing spiritual energy. He could barely sense it, but was unable to achieve transcendence.

Later, the great elder thought of a tricky way. He bought a red fruit from the Lingwu Mountain. He bypassed the step of absorbing spiritual energy from the heaven and earth and directly infused spiritual energy from the spiritual object to forcibly transform his spiritual consciousness.

After his great-grandson ate it, he finally joined the ranks of immortal cultivators. However, the spiritual energy of a red fruit was limited, and coupled with the consumption of the transformation of different attributes, his cultivation level could not advance any further except to the second level of Qi training.

Based on the situation of this young man, Lin Shan could roughly guess that his spiritual roots for cultivating immortals were very poor, and he was probably at a lower level. However, being able to become a cultivator and serve as a mascot in Nightingale was not bad.

Apparently, the Grand Elder also had the same idea, and asked his great-grandson to stay in Nightingale and not go to any Xiuxian Market. This kid was also quite obedient, remembering his great-grandfather's instructions in his heart, and was also very respectful to Lin Shan who came.

Lin Shan exchanged a few pleasantries with the grandfather and grandson, and gave the boy some pointers on his cultivation. Then he asked the Grand Elder to find out about Princess Guo and the middle-aged man in brocade clothes, the prince of Qi.

Nightingale was indeed well-informed, and got the result in less than half an hour.

The Prince of Qi died of illness half a month ago. Something seemed to have gone wrong before his death. The Qi Palace suffered a great disaster and everyone in the palace died.

It is said that it seems to be related to the royal family's foundation-building monks.

Lin Shan was also a little frightened after hearing this. He didn't know how the situation would develop in the end.

What happened to that strange big eyeball in the end? He couldn't ask the royal foundation-building cultivator and Lei Yunzi.

As for Princess Guo, the Grand Elder also revealed a hint of sigh.

It turned out that ten days ago, Princess Guo, for some unknown reason, entered the late stage of Qi training and became an inner disciple of a Yingchuan immortal cultivation sect.

The sect seems to be called Cang Xuan Sect.

Lin Shan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up suddenly, feeling something was wrong!
The reason why Princess Guo suddenly entered the late stage of Qi training must be the training given by the old man in the royal family who was in the foundation-building stage. As for why she was not trained before but now, Lin Shan did not know.

But it definitely has something to do with him!

It was not a big deal that Princess Guo entered the late stage of Qi training, Lin Shan did not take it seriously, but after she entered the immortal cultivation sect, it became a bit difficult for Lin Shan to take revenge.

Fight in? That's definitely courting death!

Although the Cang Xuan Sect is not one of the three top sects, it is able to establish its own school, and at least has a Jindan-stage cultivator in charge of the sect.

As for the curse? That's a very risky approach.

Because he had cursed the middle-aged man in Jinyi before, if he cursed Princess Guo again, this smart woman would most likely associate it with something, and the old man who was building the foundation of the royal family would also be able to guess something. By then, he would reveal the secret that he had the power to curse!

What's more, he didn't have Princess Guo's personal belongings or hair or blood.

They could have hunted and collected the remains by the creek that day, but the red-faced monk from the Joy Cult interfered and they only got the talisman sword of the middle-aged man in brocade clothes.

Thinking of the red-faced monk, Lin Shan felt so angry that his teeth itched.

Not only did this guy cause him to lose hundreds of spirit stones at the auction, he also came specifically to hunt him down.

Originally, he had a chance to kill Princess Guo and the middle-aged man in brocade clothes once and for all in Yanyun Mountains, but he suddenly showed up and made things a mess.

"Very good, I got a few more statues of the Happy Buddha in Jiangdong. If you dare to come to my house again this time."

Lin Shan had already thought of a fishing plan. The Joy Sect had been wiped out long ago. In the half year since the Jiangdong site was unearthed, no Joy Sect disciples were seen collecting Joy Buddha statues. Instead, a group of casual practitioners and Xingtai Zen Master were happily collecting them. This showed that the Joy Sect was now a paper tiger, with only a few big and small cats left.

Now he had a high-level magic weapon and more than a thousand spirit stones. He was no longer the poor guy he was when he first left Yichuan. When the time came, he would beat that red-faced monk so hard that his mother wouldn't recognize him!
The Supreme Elder here saw Lin Shan sitting up, walking back and forth, gritting his teeth from time to time, and he felt like hesitating to talk, not knowing whether he should tell him something else.

After Lin Shan calmed himself down, he naturally realized this and asked the Grand Elder if he had anything else to say.

As a result, I heard some very bad news from the other party.

Not only did Princess Guo enter the Cang Xuan Sect herself, she also hooked up with a true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion, one of the three top sects!
It is said that this Qianyun Pavilion disciple named Qi Zhong had pursued Princess Guo when he was still in the inner sect, and later for some unknown reason he was promoted to a true disciple. Princess Guo also formally agreed to Qi Zhong half a month ago and decided to become a dual cultivation partner in the future!
Lin Shan was even more surprised now. This Princess Guo was truly well-connected and could even be favored by a true disciple from a sect like Qianyun Pavilion.

However, considering her icy beauty, hot body, seductive red lips, and rare ice-attributed spiritual roots, it is not impossible.

It’s just that I don’t know whether this true disciple named Qi Zhong is in the Qi training stage or has already established his foundation.

But no matter what, his status is probably no less than that of Lin Fan and Lei Yunzi from Zixiao Sect!

Princess Guo had refused to pursue him before, but she suddenly agreed half a month ago. I could guess it with my feet. She must have felt that she couldn't deal with Lin Shan, so she planned to cling to him.

And she must have told Qi Zhong that Lin Shan was her mortal enemy!

In other words, if given the chance, this true disciple of Qianyun Pavilion, under the instigation of Princess Guo, might directly attack Lin Shan.

The two of them must be aware of Lin Shan’s cultivation speed, and they might have already prepared to take action again on the way to Yichuan!

Given Princess Guo's ruthless and decisive character, after ambushing once or twice, there is a high possibility that she will ambush for the third time.

Lin Shan knew Princess Guo quite well.

He didn't feel that he was making a big fuss or seeing snakes in the cup. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. Now that Lin Fan has left, if he were to meet a Foundation Establishment cultivator again, the outcome would be hard to predict.

"It's interesting."

Lin Shan stopped and thought for a long time. Princess Guo, it seems that he really underestimated this woman.

First, she was able to convince an old man in the royal family's foundation-building stage to invest in her to advance to the late stage of Qi training. Then she had the courage and strategy to enter the Cang Xuan Sect, and she was able to promptly entrust herself to become a true disciple of a large sect and prepare to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

This kind of scheming is really a tough enemy.
Lin Shan felt that his most urgent task was to return to Yichuan as soon as possible. In the auction house, he had the protection of Zuo Zhenren from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He had to cultivate to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible before he could talk about Princess Guo again.

It seems that the previous plan to fish and seduce the red-faced monk has to be put aside for the time being. Don't let the red-faced monk fail to be caught, and the true disciples of Qianyun Pavilion calmly deploy and directly block the periphery of Yichuan, which will be troublesome.

After thinking a lot, Lin Shan felt that it was time to leave without further delay and quickly set off for Yichuan.

There are definitely spies of Princess Guo in the capital. The news that I appeared in the palace during the day has probably spread. There is also a high possibility of attack from the evil sect, so I should not stay here for long.

After greeting the Grand Elder, Lin Shan did not forget to take a sneak peek at Protector Jiang who came with him from Zangke County.

No, now you should call him Elder Jiang.

I found him sitting cross-legged in his room, still practicing diligently, with white mist coming out of his nostrils. It was a standard method of practicing, breathing out smoke and inhaling clouds, and it was no different from when I first saw him at the Nightingale branch in Zangke County.

Lin Shan did not disturb him and just quietly looked at his old friend's current situation.

Then, taking advantage of the dark night, he left the capital without stopping.
