Chapter 557: The Trembling Ice Soul Gu

Of course, standing from Lin Jing's perspective, Lin Jing also felt that his own Gu Grandma was not a good thing.

Its Ancestor Kong Xuan domain was a sea of insects. Within the space, it was full of its Gu children and grandchildren. The Ice Soul Gu's Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit absorbed the life force of these sub-Gu to derive Immortal Power.

But the problem was, this Ancestor Kong Xuan domain of it had an essential difference from Lin Jing's and the Pine-Needle Rat's.

Lin Jing relied on the life-death reincarnation mechanism and his own Longevity Immortal Blood to let the Mosquito Beast clan live for ten thousand generations.

The Pine-Needle Rat was about the same. Its Primordial Spirit space was very suitable for plant growth. These plants could reproduce on their own, which was equivalent to it turning its own power into Immortal Power through layers of transformation.

But here at the Ice Soul Gu, the simple sub-Gu had a short lifespan, and re-gestating sub-Gu consumed a huge amount, which simply could not contribute a large amount of life force efficiently like the Mosquito Beasts that could reproduce by Longevity Blood and have life-death reincarnation, and the long-lived Pine Demons.

So, its sub-Gu also needed to devour other people's life force to maintain their own life force. Sustainable development was sustainable development, but in fact, its means of deriving Immortal Power was more similar to Long Li's, unable to circulate.

However, compared to Long Li, the benefit of the Ice Soul Gu was that it didn't need to be personally involved like Long Li. There was a gentler way. It only needed to act as a "loan shark" demon to continuously collect life force.

It could lend sub-Gu to practitioners who needed power, letting the other party pay with lifespan in exchange for power, a reasonable transaction.

As for the Star Longevity Crane, hmm, the most honest.

After so long, it still hadn't been corrupted by Lin Jing and the others. What it created was just a Ancestor Kong Xuan domain with different time flow.

Its way of deriving Immortal Power was the simplest and crudest, which was to consume its own lifespan to convert into Immortal Power.

This was too convenient. Actually, Lin Jing also wanted to do this, so he wouldn't have to trouble the Mosquito Beasts. However, although he and the Star Longevity Crane were both long-lived species, essentially, there were still differences.

The Star Longevity Crane, which inherited the supernatural powers of the Time-Path Rare Beast, after being nourished by a large amount of top-grade Immortal Qi, could already achieve its own time reversal. That was to say, it consumed its own lifespan to convert into Immortal Power, and then it could cast the Rare Beast supernatural power to backtrack the consumed lifespan.

In this way, it only needed to pay some basic magic power to derive Immortal Power autonomously.

Although Lin Jing's Time-Path attainment was also not bad now, obviously he still couldn't reach the level of the Star Longevity Crane. After all, it directly inherited the Time-Path inheritance of a certain Immortal, while Lin Jing started cultivating from zero.

"Long Li, how long will it take to repair this plaque?" Lin Jing called out Long Li and threw the mid-grade Immortal artifact snatched back by the Spell Primordial Spirit Mushroom to it.

Long Li's head grew big. It hadn't even refined a low-grade Immortal artifact, and now it had to repair a mid-grade Immortal artifact?

"Pop..." Long Li widened its eyes, indicating that if it didn't mind the loss of top-grade Immortal Qi, it could only say, try it and repair it as soon as possible.

"You should understand better than me. This Immortal artifact is just too long without being nourished by Immortal Power, so it rusted, not really damaged. Next, I will throw you into the Time-Path Array, use top-grade Immortal Qi as you like, and repair it as soon as possible."

"If its effect is really good, it will be the key to our breakthrough to Dao-seeking!"

Lin Jing planned to write words like 【Rapid Progress】, 【Advancing by Leaps and Bounds】, 【Beast Flying Ascension】 on the plaque at that time to speed up the cultivation speed of himself and his pet beasts.

At that time, with the help of the cultivation Golden Core and the Time-Path Array Flag, he could let them obtain higher cultivation in the shortest time.

Heavenly Demon Body... after all, only he could use it, and the pet beasts couldn't. Since he wanted to have a life-and-death battle with the Tianchou Demon Emperor, Lin Jing naturally wanted to choose to go together, and the realm of the pet beasts should also be as high as possible.

"Alright, you repair the Immortal artifact here next. Must be as soon as possible."

…………

Early the next morning.

Lin's mother made breakfast and woke Lin Jing up early, although... Lin Jing actually didn't sleep all night.

One day on Earth was equivalent to one year in the Tianyuan Realm. Sleeping for one night wasted I don't know how much time. Lin Jing was reluctant to close his eyes for even a second, wishing he could use the Time-Path array to break the night into countless pieces.

These few days, Lin Jing's task was to accompany his parents during the day, and at night, he would drill into the Time-Path Array Flag to explore the Ancestor Kong Xuan realm.

After breakfast, Lin Lan found Lin Jing: "Master wants to see you, is it convenient."

"What's inconvenient about this? Before, I also said I wanted to thank the Lushan Recluse. This time... it's just right to go and reward her."

For Lin Jing and Lin Lan to visit the Lushan Recluse, Lin's father and Lin's mother attached great importance to it. This was their life-saving benefactor after all, and they insisted that the two bring more gifts.

And in order to protect Lin Lan and Lin's father and Lin's mother at the first time, the Lushan Recluse lived not far away, so it didn't take much time for Lin Jing and others to go over.

"Heavenly Spirit Body..."

At the first sight of the Lushan Recluse, Lin Jing knew why she, at such an old age, could cultivate to the early Foundation Establishment stage in this environment. It turned out to be the Heavenly Spirit Body, which was said to be unaffected by age in cultivation speed.

Beside her, Lin Lan was also this constitution, which might also be the reason why the Lushan Recluse accepted Lin Lan as an apprentice.

"Master, we are here. This is my cousin, Lin Jing. How is it, a talent?"

Seeing the Lushan Recluse, Lin Lan introduced immediately. Beside her, Lin Jing also bowed. The Ancestor Kong Xuan salute was definitely not something a Foundation Establishment practitioner could receive, but she had grace to his parents, so Lin Jing was willing to perform this salute.

"Thank you for the life-saving grace."

"Hehe... No need to thank me, this is the fate between me and Lan'er." The Lushan Recluse was very easygoing, but then her brows were locked tightly: "Strange, why can't I see through your realm either? Could it be that corpse cultivators don't cultivate true qi? No, even if it's corpse qi or evil qi, I haven't felt the slightest bit."

"I said so." Lin Lan said on the side: "Master, you can't see his situation either?"

Lin Jing was speechless. Why did it get involved with corpse cultivators again? It seems it's better to disguise the realm later.

"Forget it, since Lan'er recognizes you, I won't manage it anymore. I called you over this time..."

"Is it about the practitioners' gathering?" Lin Lan asked.

"No. Another matter." The Lushan Recluse's expression was extremely serious: "Do you still remember, I told you before, your parents were hurt by Gu poison."

"You asked me before, who it was, which force poisoned them. I didn't tell you, claiming I didn't know either, because I didn't want you to go for revenge. After all, that group of people, the force is huge, and the Dao Alliance doesn't dare to easily provoke them."

"But, I received news some time ago that... that force seems to have been wiped out! I don't know which high-level person wiped it out."

"If it were just like this, it would naturally be very satisfying. Such practitioners who harm mortals should die. But, recently I heard that the sect still has a False Core ancestor alive. After the other party came out of seclusion and saw the sect wiped out, he was extremely angry and directly launched indiscriminate revenge. Anyone who had a grudge with the sect, or might have hatred for the sect, was regarded as a target for revenge."

"Your parents, although they were victims, might just be one of the countless objects persecuted by the sect's peripheral disciples, but they also have a motive for revenge. But as long as there is a motive for revenge, even if it is very slight, they will be targeted by this False Core ancestor for indiscriminate revenge. I am worried that your parents will also be involved in the other party's revenge later."

"I have friends in the Dao Alliance. I want to use connections to send your parents into Penglai Immortal Island to hide for a period of time, wait for the Dao Alliance to solve this demon, and then return to the city. What do you think? Lest they... suffer this disaster of no reason."

After the Lushan Recluse finished speaking, Lin Lan was immediately extremely nervous and restless.

But at this time, Lin Jing beside her narrowed his eyes, making the Ice Soul Gu in Lin Jing's body tremble.

"It's not a disaster of no reason, because that sect, I sent my subordinates to wipe it out..."

"Little Ice, did you really execute the mission seriously? Didn't I tell you to solve all relevant people? Where did this False Core ancestor come from? Give me an explanation."

As Lin Jing finished speaking, the Lushan Recluse and Lin Lan both looked at Lin Jing with unbelievable eyes, and the Ice Soul Gu even shouted that it was impossible. How could it miss one person? There must be something tricky, eight or nine out of ten the other party had treasures to cover themselves!!! ===== CHAPTER 558 =====
