Chapter 374: Gambling during the training period

Chapter 374: Gambling during the training period "Is it really an elixir or an elixir fruit?" After the clouds in the sky dissipated and the gods and heavenly soldiers left, some people couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at the elixirs and fruits on the table. "The gods won't resort to such means." Taoist Jiang replied, and then paused, "At least it hasn't come to that point yet." "So it's true?" Everyone looked at each other and were all very happy. In the first place, defeating the demon king and making him tremble with fear was already a happy thing. Being able to force the gods to bow down with a mortal body was also a great honor and also worth being happy about. In addition, now that I have obtained this elixir that is rare in the mortal world, it is double happiness. "Master Lin has contributed the most! There must be one immortal fruit from Master Lin!" "It's natural!" "As for the other one, in my opinion, the Taoist priest of Zhenjian Palace and Nan Tianshi should both get half!"

"I don't want it. Just give it to Master Nan." Taoist Jiang knew very well that the evil general and the protector had no intention of giving it to her, so he spoke up. "Master Jiang is so magnanimous!" "What about these elixirs?" "How about we let Master Lin, Lord Luo, or Tianshi Nan decide based on how much effort was put in and the severity of the injury?" "I agree!" "Okay!" "Now we can go back to the capital and report back!" "I've made up my mind!" "That monster must have collected a lot of gold and silver treasures. We must find them!" Everyone was talking non-stop. Lin Jue looked very calm. Both Luo Gong and Nan Tianshi were famous for being fair. They counted the amount of elixir in the gourd and distributed it according to the approximate merits and severity of injuries. Yuan Qiuguo has one Nan Tianshi and one Lin Jue. Everyone was even more delighted after getting the elixir, and they started rushing into the Leopard King's cave to search for gold and silver treasures. The Leopard King's cave is really interconnected, with caves and stone chambers everywhere. Previously, Leopard Spring water was introduced into the cave to fight against the Heavenly Fire God, but Lord Pan had already diverted the water away. This demon king has been entrenched here for a long time, and I don't know how much gold, silver and treasures he has plundered. Although most of them are no longer in the cave, even if even a small part is found, it will be enough to make many martial artists happy. Therefore, Lin Jue, who was outside the cave, could hear excited shouts coming from the cave from time to time. He stood beside the spring, seemingly thinking about something.

Then I saw the spring water bubbling out, and in addition to bubbles, there was also a mist. It was difficult to tell whether it was water vapor or spiritual charm. In short, it was full of spiritual energy and faintly mysterious. "This spring is called Leopard Spring. It is said to gather the spiritual charm of the north. Thousands of years ago, there was no such thing as the underworld. At that time, it was rumored that if a person refused to rest in peace after death, his soul would go to the north. I don't know if this is related. Anyway, the water of this spring has the effect of warming the soul." When Mr. Pan saw him standing there, staring at the spring in a trance, he naturally thought that he was examining and thinking about this magical spring. As "Master Lin", it is natural that he is not interested in the gold and silver treasures in the cave. If there is anything that can arouse his interest, it should be this ancient spiritual spring. As a former water god, Pan Gong naturally knew about this. "The Leopard King must have taken a fancy to the spiritual charm of the spring and thought this place was a blessed place, so he occupied this place as his cave residence." "Um……" Lin Jue nodded, his expression unchanged. Another voice came from the other side: "You suspect that the leopard monster is not dead. Are those two generals and the True Lord deceiving us?" Lin Jue turned around and saw that it was Mr. Luo. Luo Gong did not enter the cave, but was cleaning his gun outside the cave. Lin Jue pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "That's because Zhenren Zhenjun Zhenjun said it was dead, so it died. Luo Gong, please don't say any more." "If it is a worry far away, people nearby have to think about it, but they should not be trapped by it. This is the principle that I learned from military books when I was young. How could I not understand it?" Luo Gong said calmly, "It is you, the Taoist priest, who should think more clearly and not be trapped by it." "rational……" Lin Jue nodded, still having some thoughts in his mind. At this moment, a white shadow flashed before my eyes. A fox about the size of a cat jumped over. Just like those martial artists, it had just rushed into the cave in a hurry to look for treasure. Now it came out again in a hurry and told Lin Jue: "A hole! A hiding place! So many treasures!" "Um……" "have a look!!" The fox raised his head, his eyes sparkling. "it is good……" Lin Jue agreed. The fox jumped up slightly, fell down, and its whole body suddenly burrowed into the ground. The Taoist's figure also sank into the ground. Not long after, a man and a fox appeared in a completely enclosed cave with no doors on all sides. The fox spits fire to illuminate, and the Taoist waves fireflies like lamps. The light illuminates the scene in the cave.

There are indeed many rare treasures in the cave, most of which are rare spiritual objects in the world. You don't even need to see them with your eyes. Just feel the various spiritual charms mixed together and smell the scents of those spiritual plants, and you will know how many treasures there are here and how precious they are. Most likely they were collected with great effort by the demon king. The fact that it can be hidden here is obviously different from the gold, silver and treasures outside. In addition to treasures, there are also scriptures. Lin Jue went over and took a look. Although most of the scriptures are nameless, with his attainments, one can know the general content just by flipping through the first few pages. "Intermittently... "The golden cicada escapes its shell..." Lin Jue was surprised, but more waves arose in his heart. The fox next to him looked at him excitedly: "Is it baby?" "It's the baby." "Take it all! Put it in a bag!!" Lin Jue raised his hand and took a look at the Yuanqiu fruit in his hand. This fruit was the size of a fist, golden in color, and exuded a strong exotic fragrance. The surface also had a strong spiritual charm, which even turned into endless mist that permeated around the fruit. It was an immortal fruit at first glance. "Not urgent……" "Hmm? No hurry?" "It won't run away, and no one can find it here, so why rush?" Lin Jue said, "Let's go out first." "Hmm? Go out?" "Um……" Lin Jue put away the fairy fruit and his figure sank into the ground. The fox looked left and right, reluctant to leave, but still followed him. Because reading the scriptures took a lot of time, when they went out, many martial artists had already moved boxes of gold, silver and other valuables outside, ready to divide them up. Someone saw Lin Jue coming out and immediately said: "Master Lin is out? What did Master Lin find? Is there anything you like? If there is anything you like, just take it away first!" "Thank you for your hard work, these things belong to you, I don't want them anymore." Lin Jue paused and reminded, "After you take these treasures, don't forget to fill a pot of water from the Leopard Spring before you leave. The water from this spring is very spiritual, even if you don't know how to use it, it's good to just use it to make tea." "Thank you Master Lin for your guidance!" "Since Master Lin said so, we really have to take some away!" "Let me take a sip first!" "Master Lin, do you really not have anything you like? In addition to gold and silver, there are also some jade articles, necklaces and other jewelry here. They look quite exquisite."

"No need..." Lin Jue still politely declined them. "The Immortal's intentions are indeed different from those of us ordinary people." The Jianghu man said with a smile, "When the Immortal returns to the capital with us, the people of the capital will hear about what happened here and will definitely respect the Immortal even more than before." "I won't go back with you." Lin Jue shook his head and said. "Huh? The real man won a great victory, but he didn't return to Beijing?" The martial artist was a little surprised. Not only him, but after hearing what Lin Jue said, Luo Gong and Taoist Jiang also looked at him. Wan Xinrong and others as well as many martial artists, Taoists, and strange people also looked over. "I have my own business. I need to spend half a day here to collect spiritual springs before returning to Yishan, Huizhou." Lin Jue said, and then turned to Luo Gong and Pan Gong and reminded them, "If my sister returns to the capital and asks you about it, you can tell her that I have returned to Yishan to practice meditation for a while, and she doesn't need to look for me." "understood." Mr. Luo and Mr. Pan both nodded in agreement. The warrior was amazed, thinking that real people were different from mortals like them. Now they came here to exorcise the demon, although they all had other reasons, but no one would refuse fame and fortune. Now that the demon king had been exterminated, who wouldn't want to return with a great victory? But this immortal didn't want to return to the capital at all. After a few words, many martial artists, Taoists, strange people, including Wan Xinrong and others, withdrew their gazes. Only Mr. Luo and Taoist Jiang still glanced at Lin Jue from time to time. After dividing the gold, silver and treasures, everyone scooped up the spiritual spring. It is not advisable to stay here for long. We should return to Beijing as soon as possible to report the good news. Both sides said take care to each other and then left. Lin Jue was still sitting here, feeling the spiritual spring. There is a medicine in the golden elixir, which is the Beibao Spring. Two dou of it is needed, and naturally it must be obtained by the picking method. However, before picking them, he wanted to feel the spiritual charm of this place for a few days, absorb it into his body, and experience why it was so mysterious and wonderful that it could be used as one of the four materials for making golden elixir. …… After a few days, there was no trace of human beings in the mountains, and even ordinary birds and animals did not appear. But this is a blessed land after all, with mysterious spiritual charm. It is impossible for a place like this to be left deserted. After a few days, birds and beasts flew back. After a whole month, some surviving demons and mountain monsters could no longer resist the temptation of this paradise and bravely came here to absorb the spirit of the spring water. In the second month, there are more and more goblins and ghosts. By the third month, this place has become a paradise for spirits and monsters. These goblins often talk about what happened three months ago when they are ignorant. However, heavenly soldiers still come here to patrol from time to time. Whenever this happens, the little demons will panic and scatter.

It was another night, snow was blowing in the cold winter, smoke was rising from the spiritual spring, dark clouds covered the sun, and dozens of heavenly soldiers descended from the sky and landed in the mountains. However, there was a phantom among the heavenly soldiers, who sneaked into Leopard Spring at night. Many goblins and ghosts immediately fled in panic. "Without a king in the mountains, all kinds of monsters are jumping around! I have been following the True Lord since he started practicing Taoism. Do you really think that you can kill me with just a Taoist priest?" The phantom was very disdainful and took advantage of the night to soak in the spiritual spring to nourish his soul. It was a dark and windy night, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Even though the phantom could see things, it did not notice that there was an ordinary rock next to the spring of Leopard Spring. It was as if the heavenly soldiers had patrolled several times but never discovered it. After soaking in the spiritual spring, the shadow stood up and walked into the mountain. No one noticed, and the rocks disappeared into the darkness. "Sure enough, no one has found this place..." The Leopard King stood in a secret cave, checking the rare treasures he had accumulated, as well as a few scriptures. He was about to go out and ask the heavenly soldiers to move them, but unexpectedly, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and a figure appeared. He was a young Taoist. It is its enemy and also its nightmare. The man waved a spiritual light with one hand and held a long sword in the other. He stared at him coldly with his eyes and opened his mouth to spit. There is spring breeze even in the cold winter. The screams pierced the cold night. …… It's Chinese New Year. In Cangshi County, Qinzhou, there is a temple in the city. A believer came to burn incense, but he saw that in the Zhenjun Temple, on the altar, in front of the statue of the Protector Zhenjun, there was actually a golden fruit, emitting an enticing fragrance. No one knows what kind of fruit this is, no one knows who put it there, and no one knows where it came from. Only one Taoist priest braved the wind and snow and walked back to Beijing. Cultivation is supposed to be a leisurely day, but if you waste March on gambling, the cost is not big but the gain is not small. The biggest benefit is the peace of mind I feel at this moment.
