Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Even ordinary earth immortals might not have this kind of ability, okay?

Xiao Shan wondered if this old man who suddenly appeared on Hulu Mountain was an incarnation of the mountain god of Hulu Mountain.

The appearance of the old man meant that the story of Calabash Brothers was about to begin, and Xiao Shan felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

In the Calabash Brothers story, all the plots take place only in the Calabash Mountain area, without involving any other regions, as if Calabash Mountain were the entire world.

However, given the current situation, Calabash Mountain has already come under the jurisdiction of the River God's Palace of Immortal Continent. If the seven Calabash Brothers were to fight the Snake and Scorpion Demons again, the River God's Palace of Immortal Continent would definitely not stand idly by.

Not to mention that the gourd vine from which the Calabash Brothers originated is a treasure, Xiaoshan would not easily let go of something as valuable as the Seven Star Pill.

He didn't really believe in those nonsense stories about how eating the Seven Star Pill could grant immortality and make one live as long as heaven and earth.

It is estimated that the Seven Star Pill can help the mountain god and demon cultivators improve their cultivation level significantly, which should be achievable.

With such effects, Xiao Shan felt he could give it a try.

If it weren't for the fear that there might be a hidden hand behind the Calabash Brothers story, why would Xiaoshan have never interfered with the affairs of Calabash Mountain?

Now that the mountain god of Hulu Mountain has made his move, all Xiaoshan needs to do is continue to wait.

After all the Calabash Brothers are born, we'll find an opportunity to take the fruit.

As for the reactions of the two viper demons, Xiao Shan didn't care at all, or rather, he wasn't worried that they would have any objections.

The Calabash Brothers story is clearly a conspiracy; the two snake demons were pushed to their doom step by step in the story!

"What were the reactions of the Golden Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon?" Xiao Shan glanced indifferently at the messenger and asked directly, "And what about the reactions of their lesser demons?"

"No particular reaction!" the subordinate said, his face full of doubt.

Logically speaking, in this demon realm where humans are hard to find, if a human appears, especially one that seems to have little strength, they are destined to be devoured.

Xiao Shan pursed his lips; how could he not know what was going on?

It must have been the work of the mountain god; even the minds of the snake and scorpion demons were affected, not to mention the lesser demons and monsters below.

"Alright, you continue to keep watch at Hulu Mountain!" Xiao Shan waved his hand and instructed, "If anything unexpected happens, remember to report it immediately!"

His subordinates dared not delay and hurriedly nodded in agreement. With a turn of their bodies, they transformed into wisps of smoke and drifted towards Calabash Mountain.

Afterwards, two more groups of independent demon scouts came to report, saying the same thing as their previous subordinates: that a human old man had suddenly appeared in Calabash Mountain.

Three groups of demons, who are independent of each other and do not know each other, cross-monitor each other. Even if one or two of them have problems, there will always be one group of monitors with normal intelligence.

After dismissing the other two groups of spies monitoring Hulu Mountain, Xiao Shan glanced at the strangely shaped Hulu Mountain hundreds of miles away, a smile on his lips, and turned to leave, without any intention of going to investigate it himself.

The story of Calabash Brothers hasn't even begun yet, so there's no need for him to reveal himself too early and alert the mountain god who's been hiding behind the scenes.

Nobody knows if the mountain god of Hulu Mountain has any special abilities, so let's wait and see!

I just hope the Golden Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon haven't really lost their minds...

Chapter 824, This World is a Deep Dive! (Please Subscribe!)

The Xianzhou River Water Palace was brightly decorated and bustling with activity that day.

The subordinates of the Water Palace, each dressed in red and green brocade robes that they had somehow acquired, were all beaming with joy as they welcomed the guests who had come to offer their congratulations.

That's right, today is the tenth anniversary of Xiao Shan, the river god of Xianzhou River, taking office.

Demons from both land and water gathered in the Xianzhou River basin, each with a bizarre and grotesque appearance.

From a human aesthetic point of view, they are all ugly, but fortunately, Xiaoshan has gotten used to it.

Given Xiao Shan's status as the River God and his strength as a late-stage Earth Immortal, none of the demons in the Immortal Continent River Basin, nor the mountain demons and water monsters in the neighboring regions, are qualified for him to personally receive them.

Even the river gods of the two long rivers that intersect with the Xianzhou River do not have such qualifications!

At this moment, he sat upright in the magnificent back courtyard of his water mansion, receiving the Golden Snake Demon and Scorpion Demon couple from Calabash Mountain who had just arrived and said they had important matters to report.

"That's how it is!" The Golden Serpent Demon said solemnly, a rare seriousness appearing on her beautiful face. Her eyes shone brightly as she spoke slowly, "Please, River God, instruct my husband and me on how to proceed!"

Once they left Calabash Mountain, the Golden Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon couple's intelligence was definitely normal, and certainly above average.

As Xiao Shan had expected, these two came directly to recount the story of the old human man who appeared at Calabash Mountain, and their account was quite in-depth.

Xiao Shan's previous guess was completely correct. The Golden Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon sold out the Mountain God of Calabash Mountain without hesitation, clearly explaining the origin of the old human man, who was indeed an incarnation of the Mountain God.

Whether the Golden Snake Demon and the Scorpion Demon were genuinely willing to submit or had other motives, they poured out all the messy affairs of Calabash Mountain like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

For example, the origin of Calabash Mountain is that it suddenly appeared 10,000 years ago to suppress the couple, which was indeed the work of the so-called gods.

When talking about the so-called gods, the Golden Serpent Demon was filled with both hatred and fear. He said that he and his wife were almost worn down to death at the foot of Calabash Mountain. In fact, the gourd seed in the mountain's belly was only able to grow, blossom, and bear fruit because it was nourished by the essence of the two of them.

To his surprise, the Golden Serpent Demon revealed the truth about the Seven Star Pill.

"Aren't you afraid that if you tell me all this, I'll pick the fruit and leave you two behind?" The golden snake demon was too frank. Xiao Shan felt something was amiss and asked curiously, "Didn't you two ever think about refining the Seven Star Pill and obtaining the benefits of immortality and longevity equal to heaven and earth?"

In the Calabash Brothers story, these two were quite enthusiastic about it.

"To be honest, River God, my husband and I would like to, but unfortunately, the Mountain God of Calabash Mountain is not easy to deal with!" The Golden Snake Demon blinked her charming eyes and said with a wry smile, "Moreover, my husband and I are on Calabash Mountain, and even our minds will be affected, so we really don't have much confidence!"

"Isn't he just a mere mountain god of Calabash Mountain?" Xiao Shan sneered. "We'll find an opportunity to kill him!"

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" the Golden Serpent Demon said with a wry smile. "Hulu Mountain was established by a celestial being ten thousand years ago. Although the mountain god of Hulu Mountain does not hold a high position, he has gained a lot of supernatural powers and benefits through years of enlightenment!"

The scorpion demon muttered, "The river god doesn't know, but if the mountain god of Calabash Mountain hides and doesn't come out, neither he nor his wife would dare to destroy Calabash Mountain. There's really not much we can do against that cunning mountain god!"

Before Xiao Shan could speak, the Golden Serpent Demon continued, "Let the River God know that although the Mountain God's strength is average, he is a god who has been officially granted a title by the Heavenly Court. If anything happens to him, the Heavenly Court and the powerful gods in the vicinity who are loyal to the Heavenly Court will not let the matter rest easily!"

The story of Calabash Brothers has always been confined to the small area of ​​Calabash Mountain.

In fact, the abilities of the two snake demons and the Calabash Brothers, as well as the so-called gods revealed in the story, all show that this is a true world of immortals and heroes.

The snake and scorpion demons did not exist in isolation. There must be other demons in this world, otherwise where would their group of unique little demons come from?

The mountain god is no exception!

The path of gods is inherently a path within the cultivation system. A mountain god certainly cannot appoint himself; the mountain god in the Calabash Brothers story did not possess such power. Clearly, the position of the mountain god of Calabash Mountain was bestowed by imperial decree.

In this way, regardless of whether the force that granted the title of the Mountain God of Calabash Mountain is strong or weak, at least it is organized and has a powerful force behind it that can grant the title of the Mountain God.

It is highly likely that the so-called gods are also members of this powerful force.

This is one of the main reasons why the two demons, the snake and the scorpion, dared not easily kill the mountain god of Calabash Mountain, and could still fight him according to specific rules.

In response, Xiaoshan could only sigh, "The world of Calabash Brothers is a deep and complex place!"

"If that's the case, why do you two continue to stay in Calabash Mountain? Wouldn't it be better to go somewhere else and continue to rule as mountain kings?" Xiao Shan asked directly, puzzled. "Could it be that the Calabash Mountain God has other means to force you two to stay?"

"I would like to!" The golden snake demon said with a wry smile, "Unfortunately, most of the essence of my body and that of my master was absorbed by the gourd mountain and the gourd seeds, leaving a spiritual imprint that we cannot escape at all!"

Speaking of this, she looked miserable: "Hulu Mountain and gourd seeds have an extraordinary origin. If the gourd seeds are allowed to grow and be born smoothly, the gourds that grow from them will all kill me and my master!"

The unspoken meaning was clear to Xiao Shan, but he understood it perfectly.

Since the gourd seed grew by absorbing the essence of the snake and scorpion demons, the snake and scorpion demons must have become the gourd seed's subconscious targets.

Don't expect the gourd babies born from gourd seeds to have any kindness. After all, they are just plant spirits and won't show any mercy.

Despite their cute appearance in the story, the Calabash Brothers are extremely bloodthirsty after they are born, especially towards the Snake Demon and their minions.

There are contradictions involved, but how could there not be reasons related to the Calabash Brothers themselves?

"Speak, how do you two want my help?" Xiao Shan was quick-witted and saw right through the snake demons' thoughts. "If I can help, I won't stand idly by, after all, you are powerful demons under my command!"

Although the words were beautifully spoken, the unspoken meaning was cold and ruthless: if he couldn't help, don't blame him for being cold and ruthless; there must be a reason why he couldn't help.

"I understand!" The golden serpent demon chuckled. "If my master and I want to escape completely, we do need the River God's help, but I will also reward you handsomely!"

"Oh, tell me about it!" Xiao Shan's heart stirred, and he glanced at the shrewd Golden Serpent Demon, genuinely feeling a bit curious.

Chapter 825, The Golden Serpent Demon Who Can Refine Pills! (Please Subscribe!)

"Seven Star Pill!" the Golden Serpent Demon said earnestly. "After the gourd seeds bloom and bear fruit, as long as the River God helps to withstand the pressure from the Mountain God of Gourd Mountain and the powerful deities behind him, I can give the Seven Star Pill to the River God!"

As she said this, her beautiful face, as lovely as a peach blossom, revealed obvious heartache and reluctance.

The scorpion demon, who had been silent all along, twitched her hardened face, clearly heartbroken.

Even Xiao Shan couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this, quite admiring the Golden Serpent Demon's decisiveness after regaining its intelligence: "I've heard you say before that the Seven Star Pill is a treasure that can grant immortality and make one live as long as heaven and earth. Are you two really willing to part with it?"

He never expected that the Golden Serpent Demon would offer such a generous gift.

The Seven-Star Pill is the core element of the Calabash Brothers story; all the conflicts and contradictions seem to stem from this precious treasure.

"River God, this is just a trick to fool wild demons without any inheritance!" The Golden Serpent Demon curled his lip and said disdainfully, "The Seven Star Pill is indeed very powerful. For ordinary demons, it can very likely help them jump one or even several ranks directly!"

"Even demon gods can benefit from it, but it only raises one or two minor ranks and grants seven decent divine abilities, but that's all!"

Xiao Shan glanced at the Golden Snake Demon with surprise. Judging from the demon's tone, he clearly possessed a good lineage and had a thorough understanding of the Seven Star Pill. How could he appear so ignorant in the Calabash Brothers story?

Was he truly influenced by some means and lost his mind, or was he deliberately putting on a show with the mountain god of Calabash Mountain for some being to see?

"And what about you and your husband? You can't possibly get nothing out of it, can you?" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "If that's the case, I won't go to Calabash Mountain!"

"How could that be?" The Golden Serpent Demon giggled, revealing the truth directly. "My master and I only need that alchemy furnace left behind by the gods in the Black Dragon Pool behind Calabash Mountain!"

Her voice was charming and alluring, but it failed to stir the slightest ripple in Xiao Shan's heart.

He deliberately emphasized the word "lost," and judging from the coldness in his eyes, it was clear that the alchemy furnace in Wulongtan was not simple.

Xiao Shan was taken aback at first, but then immediately realized what was happening.

Are Seven Star Pills so easy to refine?

Whether it was the Golden Snake Demon or her later sister, the Green Snake Demon, they were both confident that they could be directly refined in the alchemy furnace.

Judging from this, this alchemy furnace must be extraordinary!

It is said that demons in the demon realm who can refine elixirs are extremely rare.

The spiritual energy here is abundant, and there are countless rare and exotic flowers and herbs everywhere. There are also countless materials for alchemy. As long as the pills are not particularly powerful, they should not be a problem for the Golden Serpent Demon.

With such a skill, there's no need to worry about lacking elixirs!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shan suddenly understood and laughed heartily, "Since you have the ability to refine pills, I won't stand on ceremony! Tell me, who are the beings behind the mountain god of Calabash Mountain?"

"Thank you for your help, River God!" Seeing that Xiao Shan had finally agreed, the Golden Serpent Demon breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly. "Actually, the only person the Calabash Mountain God can persuade is the Yellow Mud Ridge Mountain God above him! As long as the River God can keep the Yellow Mud Ridge Mountain God in check, my master and I are confident that we can take down the Calabash Mountain God and then focus on refining the Seven Star Pill!"

"Oh, how strong is the Huangni Ridge Mountain God?" Xiao Shan nodded.

Hulu Mountain is a branch of Huangni Ridge, but Xiaoshan doesn't know much about the power of the Huangni Ridge mountain god.

"River God, Huangni Ridge stretches for thousands of miles, and the mountain gods within it are quite powerful, at least reaching the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. Moreover, their attacks within the Huangni Ridge range possess extraordinary abilities, likely not much weaker than Heavenly Immortal demon cultivators!" the Golden Serpent Demon said solemnly. "Furthermore, they command dozens of mountain gods, most of whom are roughly as powerful as the mountain gods of Calabash Mountain, and none of them can escape their own jurisdiction to fight far from their respective mountain ranges!"

"Oh, is that so!" Xiao Shan nodded. "I will take over the responsibility of being the mountain god of Huangni Ridge. You two should do your job well and make sure nothing goes wrong along the way!"

"Thank you, River God!" The two snake and scorpion demons were overjoyed and hurriedly got up and knelt down.

……

When the time came, the banquet at the Xianzhou River Water Palace began.

Suddenly, all sorts of exotic seafood and land delicacies were served, and graceful and beautiful fishwomen darted back and forth, making the atmosphere instantly light and cheerful.

As the host, Xiao Shan took the lead in initiating the banquet, and then sat in the main seat to receive congratulations from his subordinate demons and envoys from other demon forces.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, the entire water palace suddenly shook slightly, and the wine in the cups rippled.

"what happened?"

"Could it be that the local earth dragon has stirred up some trouble?"

"Ignore it, everything's fine at the Water Mansion, isn't it?"

……

The demons present were all powerful, and they only needed to be slightly taken aback to guess what had happened.

Seeing that Xiao Shan looked calm and collected, and that the earlier tremor had disappeared, they didn't care. They raised their glasses and laughed loudly, and the banquet quickly returned to its lively and bustling state.

Xiao Shan sat upright in the main seat with a smile on his face, but he was quite unhappy inside.

The timing of this cracking in Hulu Mountain is really terrible!

With a single thought, Xiao Shan could sweep across a vast area and instantly know what had happened.

Just now, the Calabash Mountain that suppressed the two snake and scorpion demons split in two, creating a tremendous and earth-shattering sound.

By the time it reached the Water Mansion, the force had weakened considerably, and it was further blocked by the outer array of the Water Mansion, so it only caused a slight tremor.

The gourd seeds have been hatched!
