Shulong Daojun

Bei Chen was taken aback by Lin Shu's unexpected remark.

However, he quickly regained his senses and, recalling the scenes at the Dharma assembly, smiled and said, "Brother Lin is indeed a good person, with superb skills and excellent character."

It is a fortunate thing to be taught the method of ley line manipulation by him.

After saying that, he revealed a look of delight.

His gaze suddenly fell to Lin Shu, his expression complex, and he sighed, "It's been more than two months since I last saw you. I never imagined that Senior Brother's cultivation would advance by two realms and that he would become our mentor."

I am so ashamed.

After saying that, not knowing what to say, he simply lowered his head.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiushui's curiosity deepened.

Lu Youzhi swallowed hard, his body tense and motionless.

During his few days of rest, he had found out who Lin Shu was and also learned that he had a frivolous side and was not someone to be trifled with.

But how could he be timid and hesitant in front of his junior sister?

Feeling the terrifying turbid energy around him, he steeled his heart, looked at Lin Shu, and said with a serious expression, "Master, do we really want to cultivate here?"

"Wouldn't that be...too inappropriate?"

Before he could finish speaking, he hurriedly added:

"It's not that we're questioning our master's judgment, but rather that this is our first time dealing with something like sorting out the earth's veins, and we're afraid that we might get flustered and hinder our master."

After all, in Lu's opinion, there are probably quite a few powerful demons and monsters in that abyss.

It is best to be cautious and make thorough preparations.

Then, he turned his head to look at the other disciples practicing.

The disciple who was being watched frowned slightly, his expression hardening.

They could also sense the danger there.

However, the steward's words were still fresh in his mind, and out of initial trust in Lin Shu, he remained silent for the time being, simply observing from the sidelines.

Lin Shu took in everyone's reactions and nodded to himself.

He came here intentionally.

Lu Youzhi and others were all outstanding figures in their respective schools of thought, and it was inevitable that they would feel somewhat arrogant.

If we don't give them a good beating, how can we expect them to obey and make it easier for Zhuyin to feast?

So he smiled and said confidently, "It's alright. Thanks to what Brother Lu said that day, I was able to choose this place and come up with a foolproof plan."

"Please rest assured, I will ensure the safety of my fellow disciples."

After saying that, he nodded and glanced at Bei Chen and the others.

His gaze then fell upon Lu Youzhi, and he smiled with relief, saying, "If Junior Brother Lu is unable to do so, I will, as I said before, take care of him."

Lu Youzhi's heart tightened suddenly, and his expression changed drastically when he saw everyone's gazes shifting between them.

He was about to speak when Lin Shu interrupted him with a few words:

"Although the malevolent energy here is quite strong, it can also temper one's character. There are also many broken ley lines for you junior brothers to practice on, making it a good place."

Furthermore, Brother Lu also possesses elixirs that can resist malevolent energy.

I remember Brother Lu once said that if needed, he could help me with a few coins.

Given Brother Lu's charitable deeds, he would surely lend a helping hand if any of his junior brothers were to be accidentally possessed by malevolent energy.

In this way, it can even become a beautiful story.

After saying this, Lin Shu looked at Lu Youzhi with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding disciples' eyes lit up, and the heaviness between their brows dissipated somewhat.

Then they all looked at Lu Youzhi, cupped their hands in praise, and the praise continued for a long time.

Lu Youzhi inwardly groaned, but seeing his junior sister's gaze fall upon him, he immediately straightened his back, waved his hand, and replied:

"It's nothing serious, everyone can rest assured."

I'm not boasting about anything else, but I can guarantee you'll have plenty of pills.

Haha, hahaha—

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu smiled without saying a word. With a slight roll of his sleeve, he tucked the tiny candlelight, now reduced to a millimeter in size, from his waist into his sleeve.

As Zhu Yin rushed to this place, he also sensed Zhu Yin's aura and simultaneously used the earth's veins to escape.

Taking advantage of Lu You's words, he swam up from the sole of the shoe.

With everything prepared, Lin Shu immediately spoke, interrupting Lu Youzhi's laughter, saying, "Although a month or so is a long time, it will pass in the blink of an eye. The sooner we get started on sorting out the earth's veins, the better."

Fellow disciples, please come closer to me.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone quickly moved closer.

However, since Mu Qiushui was the only female cultivator present, he followed etiquette and let her stand closest to him, while he himself stayed slightly behind by half a body length.

The creature is enormous and extremely dangerous!

With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Shu transformed into a gentle breeze, carrying everyone as they carefully descended into the vast, unfathomable abyss.

Beneath the abyss, the lair of demons and monsters grows on the surrounding fractured ley lines, resembling clusters of mushrooms.

There were also mountain spirits and stone demons, whose auras resembled those of immortals and cultivators with eight or nine hundred years of cultivation, hiding in unknown places and depths, casting their spying gazes.

Lin Shu ignored them, identified a well-formed ley line that was still suitable for settling down, and after revealing his form, the group also stopped to the side.

However, as soon as they landed, the malevolent energy of the surrounding earth veins surged wildly, sweeping in from all directions and drilling straight into their flesh.

Lu Youzhi and the others dared not be careless, and used all their magical power to protect themselves from the erosion of the evil energy.

However, the malevolent and turbid energy here is continuous and increasingly fierce, as if it has been aroused to be ferocious, churning and swirling, like waves crashing in one after another.

Everyone was startled and quickly used their magic to defend themselves.

However, the sudden and continuous surge of energy caused his blood to rush to his head, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

Mu Qiushui was also swaying, unable to bear the weight, and almost fell over.

However, just as he was about to fall, he was stopped by someone pushing against him, and by sheer coincidence, he bumped into Lin Shu's chest.

Seeing that she was in danger, Lin Shu stepped forward with his hands behind his back and used his shoulder to support her soft body.

"Is he alright?" Lin Shu asked gently.

Upon smelling the delicate medicinal fragrance, and thinking of Qingmin and the refugees of Qingwu City, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he transmitted a few more words:

"Junior sister must be skilled in alchemy, right? Would you be willing to stay in Qingwu City, which is under my jurisdiction, for a few days?"

My senior brother also has a slight understanding of biochemistry, which is of some help in alchemy.

"Junior sister, please consider it for a few more days before telling your brother. There's no rush."

Mu Qiushui's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head as usual, forgetting that she was still leaning against Lin Shu's chest. For a moment, it looked as if she was rubbing her head against him, which was quite intimate.

Lu Youzhi's eyes reddened slightly, and he quickly exclaimed, "My teacher!"

We have all adapted to the conditions here, and we would like to ask our master to teach us the methods for regulating the earth's veins. I, Lu, am already impatient.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu nodded slightly and praised, "Brother Lu is indeed eager to learn."

This method of sorting out problems can be both easy and difficult; the key lies in finding the right solution for the problem.

When the earth's veins are severed, turbid qi accumulates, eventually giving rise to evil spirits, much like a carbuncle that clings to the bone.

Therefore, the first step is to thoroughly investigate the entire landscape of the fractured ley lines to understand the source of evil spirits.

Then, using magic, they broke open and cleared the stagnant area, leveling the entire evil lair.

For example, like this.

After speaking, he immediately looked around at the earth's veins and deeply sensed them.

Then, he raised his hand and pointed, and divine light shone down, penetrating directly to a distance not far away.

The surrounding demonic lairs suddenly emitted howls, shattered into pieces, and crashed into the depths of the earth.

Lu Youzhi was completely focused, his gaze following the demon's lair as it descended, and a sudden realization dawned on him.

However, gazing intently into the bottomless depths for a moment, he suddenly realized something, his brow furrowing slightly. He said uncertainly to Lin Shu:

"Master, for some reason, I always feel like there's a huge open mouth down there. It's so strange."

Lin Shu smiled slightly: "It's just an illusion."

"Don't believe me, Brother Lu? Look up at the sky, doesn't it look even more like a giant mouth?"

Lu Youzhi looked towards the mouth of the abyss as instructed, and after a moment murmured, "It seems so."
