Chapter 71: Immortal Book Granting Magic
Chapter 71: Immortal Book Granting Magic
It turned out that the conversation between Princess Guo and Lin Shan just now was heard word for word by the people behind the house.
"Have you guys been exposed?" Princess Guo asked coldly.
"No, my Luo Yun Barrier is specially designed to isolate auras. As long as that kid is not in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he won't be able to detect him at all." One of them vowed, and he was obviously very confident in his own magic weapon.
The man in brocade clothes saw that Princess Guo seemed unhappy and asked: "What's wrong, Princess? Is there something wrong with that boy?"
Princess Guo gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "This kid is too alert. No matter how hard I tried to persuade him, he just refused to leave Yichuan and explore with us."
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes also sighed: "With the beauty of the princess, even a disciple of the Qianyun Pavilion of a major cultivation sect like Qi Zhong is obsessed with her, but this boy is not smart enough?"
The two people beside him couldn't help but ask, "What should we do? If this kid doesn't fall for our trick, how can we deal with him outside Yichuan Market?"
Princess Guo shook her head and sighed, "We can only wait. This kid probably wants to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage of Qi training. Although he has obtained the storage bags of Master Huang, the green-robed old ghost and his accomplices, it is still impossible for him to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi training in a short time."
The two people next to him showed anxiety: "If he sold that exquisite mid-level magic weapon, it would be worth 500 spirit stones, and it might be exchanged for a mid-level Qi training barrier-breaking pill!"
The middle-aged man in brocade clothes had a stern expression: "Yes, if this intermediate-level magic weapon falls into the hands of the princess, she can sell the spirit stones in exchange for the barrier-breaking pill for the middle stage of Qi training, and then she can immediately enter the late stage of Qi training."
"He is less than 20 years old and in the late stage of Qi training. He is also a rare ice spirit root. Even if his qualifications do not meet the requirements of the immortal sects, ordinary sects still have a chance. By then, are we afraid that our status will not rise?"
"We can't let that kid get away. Even if he doesn't come out, we have to block him on the way back to Bianliang!"
Princess Guo's eyes flashed coldly: "I will keep a close eye on him in the next few days!"
……
Lin Shan returned to the inn. Although he had reached a settlement with Princess Guo, he was not so naive as to completely trust her. Improving one's own strength was the best way to go. Since the other party had spent money to buy him a straw man, he would just accept her kindness.
Now in the guest room, he took out the straw man he had just obtained, which was the magical power "Seven Arrows Book" mentioned in the strengthening panel. Without saying a word, he absorbed 12 points of ancient charm. The number in the upper right corner of the strengthening panel changed from "3" to "15".
Then I looked at it carefully again and found that it was indeed a simple straw man, with nothing special about it.
The only special thing about it is that no matter how much grass you pull off the straw man, it will grow back again, which means that the straw man cannot be destroyed at all.
Lin Shan began to think of all kinds of ideas. He first put it on his forehead and used his spiritual sense to detect it, but it was useless. He then input spiritual power to stimulate it, but there was no response. He then tried dripping blood, but still couldn't get it right.
"What is hidden inside this straw man, and where is the magical power?"
As a last resort, he came up with another evil idea. He tried burning it with fire, soaking it in water, fumigating it with smoke, and grinding it with a cold iron sword, but no matter what he did he could not open the inside.
"No wonder the old woman was willing to sell it. She must have tried every possible method and felt that there was something fishy about it, so she dared to sell it for 10 spirit stones."
In this way, Lin Shan and the straw man fought in the room for a whole day, but there was no progress at all.
It wasn't until the evening that he suddenly remembered the instructions for using the reinforced panel.
"Prepare a straw man, a bow and arrow, and two lamps. Take an object, blood, or hair that carries the target's scent and place it in front of the straw man. Then curse it according to the bow and arrow method. Shoot an arrow into the straw man. This will seriously injure the target from a distance."
How about giving it a try?
Lin Shan simply tried his best to save the situation, and did not go into details and follow the instructions in the previous life's Investiture of the Gods, with a lamp on the head and another under the feet. God knows how that should be done.
He lit two oil lamps and placed them on both sides of the straw man. He took out any item from the green-robed old man's storage bag and placed it in front of the straw man. Anyway, the old man was dead, so it was best to use him for the experiment.
As for the bow and arrow, Lin Shan found some animal tendons and made a bow himself, and also cut a few wooden arrows.
Then he drew his bow, put an arrow on it, and aimed it at the straw man.
It was just a simple ceremony, but the next moment, something in the void seemed to be activated, and a white light flashed in front of the straw man.
Suddenly, Lin Shan seemed to feel his consciousness being pulled into a fantasy world. An old ghost was wandering in the mountains, seemingly waiting for the ghost of the underworld to lead him. Looking at its face, it seemed to be the ghost of the old man in green robe. Lin Shan was shocked!
The old man in green robe had only been dead for three or four days, so he could stay in the world of the living for seven days at most. But this guy was so leisurely that no ghost messenger came to extradite him!
Don't ghost messengers go to work? Are there also people slacking off in the underworld?
But at this moment, Lin Shan's consciousness in the illusion saw that the ghost of the old man in green robe seemed to be locked by something, and Lin Shan's body seemed to feel that he was communicating with an indescribable existence in the dark.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired!
Lin Shan felt like he was offering the green-robed old man's ghost as a sacrifice to that great being. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. He had no way of stopping this.
"Snapped!"
An arrow hit the straw man, and the ghost of the green-robed old man in the illusion showed a look of fear. Streams of black air gushed out from his body and instantly enveloped him!
……
After a while, only the beautiful mountain scenery remained in the illusion, and the ghost of the old man in green robe disappeared, as if nothing had ever existed.
Lin Shan's consciousness returned to himself. At this moment, he stared blankly at the straw man in front of him. His whole body seemed to be emitting endless light, communicating with a deep, ancient void.
Lin Shan's gaze followed the straw man towards the passage, which seemed to stretch for countless billions of miles. In the endless void of the dark theme, a volume of purple manuscript lay quietly at the end of eternity.
"The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book!"
Lin Shan couldn't help but recite the name in his mind. This purple manuscript was surrounded by fairy air, and streamers of light and ribbons were constantly surrounding it. It seemed that no one was controlling it. It had been lying quietly in the void for who knows how many years. Now, with this straw man as a link, it connected with Lin Shan's gaze.
A purple torrent floated out from the book, along the void channel, rushed out of the straw man at lightning speed, and directly entered Lin Shan's mind.
"what!"
An ancient and profound message created a huge wave in the storm of his thoughts!
Then the information gradually condensed into a mysterious purple seed and hung in the depths of his soul.
When Lin Shan was investigating the seed that had taken root in his soul with doubt, the strengthening panel popped up.
[Nailhead Seven Arrows Book]
Quality: Magical Seed
Introduction: A castrated version of the upper realm's immortal technique "The Book of Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads", a curse spell, and one of the sect's magical powers of the great immortal cultivation sect "Wu Dao Sect".

(Can only be used three times a day.)

……
"Mystical power seed!"
When Lin Shan came into contact with the seed in his soul, he instantly understood its function. It represented a deep and thorough comprehension of a certain magical power. He could fully master its function without any pre-casting requirements. Once he reached the state of controlling the power at will, the seed of magical power would condense in the depths of his soul.
"The real immortal weapon in the legend over there in the void passage, the seed of magical power that the Seven Arrows Book with Nailed Heads directly bestowed upon me?"
A flash of enlightenment flashed through Lin Shan's mind. Is this the Wu Dao Sect's sect heritage? It really is a great opportunity!
Lin Shan regained consciousness and returned to reality. Looking inside the guest house, all the lights disappeared, the bow fell to the ground, the straw man was still on the table, and the two candles were still flickering strangely.
It's pitch black outside the window, the moon is dark and the wind is strong tonight.
