Shulong Daojun

The rest was short, and half an incense stick's time had already passed.

Seeing that Lu Youzhi and the others were full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue, Lin Shu nodded and said, "The second step is to use magic power to transform into fine threads and drill into the fractured earth veins to cleanse away the turbid air."

Then, insert the needles deep into the severed veins at both ends, pull them together, and use magic to condense a 'membrane' at the interface to isolate external interference.

As he spoke, he casually captured two small sections of broken earth veins, condensed them into fine threads of magical power, and demonstrated them to everyone.

The magical threads, as flexible as fingers, drew out the turbid air from the earth's veins and crushed it bit by bit.

Following the next steps in the Scale Book, the two small sections of the earth vein merged into one in no time.

The pure air surged from both ends, like smoke and mist, and after a while, a faint spiritual energy gradually emerged, flowing intermittently.

It paused slightly at the interface, but still flowed through.

He held the book in his palm and gently handed it to Lu Youzhi, Mu Qiushui, and the others for them to see, while explaining in detail the points to note.

After everyone realized what was happening, Lin Shu, based on his past experience, made a rough judgment and continued to instruct: "The ley lines after the connection are extremely fragile, and this section of the ley lines needs to be inspected regularly."

It also eliminates the tiny evil spirits arising from residual turbidity and repairs minor cracks at any time.

Based on the main trunk and branches of the earth vein, the branches need to rest for three months, while the main trunk needs to rest for one year before it can be restored to use.

At that time, Heaven and Earth will respond, and rewards will be given according to merit. All fellow disciples will then receive corresponding rewards.

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed respectfully, their faces showing gratitude.

Three months to a year is not a long time, and we can afford to wait.

Compared to slaying demons and protecting the Dharma all over the world, one can accumulate merit by relying on one's own destiny and spending a great deal of effort to solve problems.

This method of sorting out the earth's veins is indeed stable and convenient.

Like that vegetable, you sow the seeds, water and fertilize, and then wait for the harvest.

Great achievements are easily accumulated; one can aspire to become an immortal.

Lu Youzhi and the others' eyes lit up, already eager to take action themselves.

However, considering that Lin Shu had not yet spoken, they had to suppress their eagerness, and each of them looked on expectantly.

Seeing this, Lin Shu knew what everyone was thinking, so he didn't say much and just said with a smile, "Junior brothers, please do as you please, there's no need to worry."

However, there is one thing I need to explain to everyone in advance.

After saying that, he changed the subject and said with a serious expression, "While you were resting just now, I vaguely sensed an extremely hidden aura below the mouth of the abyss."

Remembering what Brother Lu said earlier, I fear that there are evil spirits coming from afar along the earth's veins, endangering the safety of all my fellow disciples.

Therefore, I want to dive down and test the waters to find out more.

If any of you fellow disciples encounter anything you don't understand, you may temporarily consult Brother Beichen. If you still have questions, I will answer them one by one when I return.

Having said that, he looked up at Beichen and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Beichen."

Bei Chen's expression turned serious, and he cupped his hands in a solemn manner, saying, "It's nothing, no trouble at all. Please be careful, Senior Brother Lin."

Lu Youzhi and others also offered a word of concern and advice.

However, a hint of worry flashed in Mu Qiushui's eyes.

She flipped her hand and took out a pill, giving it to him as a gift, saying that she could easily make it and that it had the effect of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh and bone.

Lin Shu was slightly surprised. He thanked her, put the book in his hand, and transformed into a gentle breeze as he dived down into the abyss.

Before long, it appeared beside Zhuyin.

At this moment, it was enormous, about thirty feet in size, with its dragon head standing proudly upright, and dark red patterns on its body flowing like blood, exuding a fierce aura that suppressed the surrounding area.

Lin Shu glanced at it, nodded in satisfaction, then stood on the dragon's head, his eyes slightly narrowed, and looked down.

The reason he came down was because he sensed an unusual excitement in Zhuyin from the Qi.

There seems to be something special beneath this abyss.

"Let's go down and take a look." Lin Shu pondered for a moment, a thought stirring in his mind.

Zhuyin immediately understood, and with a slight movement of its claws, the surrounding turbid currents slowly surged and gathered on the dragon's body, while simultaneously clearing a passage leading to the depths of the abyss.

Startled awake, the spirits and stone demons of the four mountains burst forth with countless vertical pupils of blue and red, crowding the area beneath the abyss.

But as Zhuyin looked around, they all seemed to have their lights suddenly extinguished, and they closed their eyes in alarm.

The next moment, a rustling sound of fleeing could be heard.

Zhu Yin's vertical pupils were ferocious. He smiled disdainfully, then his body leaped down, transforming into a long black and red rainbow that shot straight down.

About seven or eight breaths later, Lin Shu spotted a piece of meat.

It is red, crystal clear, about two fingers thick and wide, with bite marks of varying sizes covering its edges, as if it had been torn off.

The red meat lay on a fractured ley line, emitting a foul, fishy odor.

Logically, this should have attracted a scramble from the demons and monsters within the abyss, but surprisingly, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Before Lin Shu got close to the red flesh, when he was about three or four zhang away, he signaled Zhu Yin to stop and left himself aside.

He sensed the faint pressure, raised an eyebrow, and muttered, "Strange, how come a piece of flesh and blood of a powerful demon at the Earth Immortal level has fallen here?"

This item wasn't there when I came to inspect it a few days ago.

Lin Shu, filled with doubt, glanced around and, upon closer inspection, discovered something strange on the fractured ley line not far away.

The break was not a rotten, decaying fracture, like rotten wood, but rather exceptionally neat and clean, as if it had been broken by a huge object.

There were also several similar traces nearby, as well as scattered fragments of earth veins.

"A powerful demon at the Earth Immortal level has been injured and gone berserk?" A thought inexplicably popped into his mind.

Zhu Yin, standing to the side, was already drooling profusely.

It lowered its head, gently nuzzled the scale book's body, its vertical pupils revealing a deep longing, and even the tip of its barbed tail was twitching wildly.

Lin Shu snapped out of his daze, shook his head and smiled, saying, "Look how hungry you are. Go ahead and eat if you want."

Since Zhuyin has the spiritual light given to her by her master within her body, there's no need to worry about it causing any problems.

As for myself, I can only watch quietly from here.

Upon hearing this, Zhuyin was overjoyed. He suddenly pounced and swallowed the red meat whole. Then he circled around and returned to his original position, striking a docile pose.

But after only half a breath, his eyelids suddenly drooped, his body swayed, and he fell back into a drowsy, half-asleep state.

It let out a soft murmur, then concealed its aura, shrank its size, darted up, and hid in the collar of the scale-patterned Taoist robe, where it began to happily refine the red meat it had swallowed.

Lin Shu did not disturb them. After looking around several times and finding no new clues, he left and headed towards the top of the abyss.

At that time, Lu Youzhi and others were asking Beichen how to cleanse themselves of all the turbid air.

Mu Qiushui listened attentively, but occasionally glanced downwards while everyone was discussing.

That glance happened to catch Fang Xianhua manifesting the Scale Book.

Her eyes sparkled, and with a swift movement, she drew closer, exclaiming joyfully, "Master, you're back!"
