The #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path

Chapter 71 - Picking Flowers

Edited by Ea

The farther they went, the more evil things there were. Although the evil creatures’ powers were limited, there were too many in the end.

Lin Shu quickly played the zither and stopped all the ones who escaped from Ling Xiao and Cang Min. However, as the number of these evil creatures increased, his vision was challenged–with the eyes of an ordinary human, at such a fast speed, he could only see the countless fuzzy shadows, but he could not see their tracks.

In this dim light, he should not only pay attention to the evil things coming from the left and right, but also pay attention to the situation of the two people. After a while, he felt his eyes tingling and simply closed his eyes!

In the silence, the wind caused by the movements of evil things was especially obvious.

Listening to the wind, he plucked the strings with both hands and blasted its spiritual power in all directions.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, his instinct for sword practice over the years came to his mind.

The evil creature from the southeast and the two from the southwest have an angle that would form a horn. If they are swept away by “Moon in Pinghu Lake”, they can be killed at the same time.

To the north, three jumped down from above and flew straight at Cang Min, and two rushed from behind. If he waited until they all rushed forward and looked at the sky from the west, there would be an extremely tricky angle. Just one gesture of “Rainbow Piercing the Sun” could skewer them all.

And Cang Min’s heavy sword was sweeping diagonally down from the alpha Ursae Majoris position. If he unsheathes his sword to swing it upward and cooperates with him, it could beautifully kill more than a dozen things in front of it.

And Ling Xiao...

All these things were taught by his master. Although he practiced well in the past, he didn’t truly experience it, but he just talked on paper. However, now that he is really in danger, what he learned in the past has reappeared one by one.

However, he had no sword in his hand, only a zither, and could not use sword moves.

However, the zither can stimulate spiritual power. If spiritual energy is used as a sword...!

He cleared his heart and mind and played several notes. The strings burst out with solid spiritual power, attacking in all directions according to the trajectory set in his mind!

Cang Min shouted: “Good zither!”

At the moment, the three of them were already invincible, but at this time, they were even more powerful. They actually cleared out the empty space with a radius of a square meter and no evil on the site.

The group of evil things was silent for a short time. Then, the hissing and roaring suddenly became louder, a few of them huddled together, and hundreds of evil things threw themselves at them like they were desperate.

Lin Shu still closed his eyes and concentrated. His fingers flicked. His heart was empty and his mind bright, as if immersed in some mysterious realm.

Sword moves did not have to be made with swords. The sound of the zither was invisible and it can also have the power of hard weaponry.

Is it a zither? Is it a sword? He couldn’t tell the difference anymore.

The three people slaughtered crazily like this, and after a quarter of an hour, they had already penetrated into the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss.

At this time, Ling Xiao said: “The Ghost Master is here.”

The things that had just besieged them were just some low-level evil things around the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss, called “walking dead” and “crawling corpses”. They will use low-power magic to cooperate with the body to attack. The “Ghost Master” is different. Although it moves slowly and its body is fragile, it has a certain level of intelligence and can command low-level evil things. Moreover, its power is not only that, but also has the ability to confuse people’s hearts.

It is said that the Ghost Master was formed by the resentment of countless people who died of fear. It can see through the things that people fear most, hit the most vulnerable part of the immortals’ mind in one move, and disturb the enemy!

Soon after Ling Xiao’s voice fell, Lin Shu really felt that the walking dead and the crawling corpses had a lot of attack patterns. They rushed up one wave after another, as if to fight with them in waves and waves of consecutive battles.

At the same time, a faint, low voice sounded in the distance, and aroused a continuous, creepy echo between the mountain walls.

“Flowers on brocade, a blazing fire cooks the oil, how long can such scenery last?”

“The overly rigid will easily break, the overly wise will inevitably hurt themselves. Colorful clouds will easily disperse, and colored glass is brittle and fragile. Do your best to fend for yourselves.”

Ling Xiao said: “Northwest.”

Cang Min: “I will go first.”

Lin Shu understood what they meant. The sound of the zither turned, and the spiritual power focused on the northwest to attack, clearing the way for Cang Min.

Cang Min swung his broadsword, and his spiritual power was like a whirlpool, whistling around to a location, forming an unbreakable spiritual confinement.

Ling Xiao’s blade attacked later but struck first, and then slashed towards there.

Lin Shu heard a sound like some had slapped a cucumber, and the sound of the thing pretending to be mysterious was instantly silenced. Who knows how many pieces the Ghost Master’s skull broke into.

Cang Min said: “You’re the one who needs to fend for yourself!”

At the same time, the second and third Ghost Masters appeared, and more and more faint voices could be heard from all directions, almost telling the world’s unknown preaching, like a monk chanting incantations in a Buddhist temple, which was very daunting. Lin Shu turned the zither axis, changed the music, and began to play “Qingming Spiritual Void Mantra”. The sound of the zither entered one’s ears and instantly turned into cool spring water flowing throughout his body, immediately waking someone.

If a Ghost Master is close to him, he will kill it if he can, and if it is far away, he drives it away with the sound of the awakening zither. The three people continued to move forward. It can be said that if a god blocks them, they’ll kill the god, and if Buddha blocks them, they’ll kill Buddha. Cang Min called out “Happy!” At the same time, Lin Shu also felt that it was indeed a happy thing to be able to realize what he had learned in his previous life and help them.

At the back, there are more and more high-level “Vajra Demons” and “Heavenly Demons” evil things. If they were classified by immortal cultivators’ realms, most of them are in the Golden Core Realm, and few of them have reached Yuanying Realm. Ling Xiao and Cang Min began to fight them in close quarters. At the same time, Lin Shu’s control of the Ice Stringed Zither also went up to a higher level, and he began to block the low-level monsters and Ghost Masters alone to prevent the two people from being distracted during the fight.

After about an hour of non-stop fighting, besides the roar of evil things, came the sound of gurgling water.

——It is probably the river in the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss where the White Bone Flower grows.

At this time, as expected, the evil creatures that pursued them had reached a terrifying number. If it weren’t for Cang Min’s strong defense and Ling Xiao’s extremely fierce blade, it was likely that these tens of thousands of dense evil creatures could kill them even by physically crushing them with the sheer number. Even with the intensity of their slaughter, it still became difficult to move because the number of enemies was too large.

Ling Xiao said: “Use the Talismans.”

When the elusive talisman was activated, Lin Shu felt his body become illusory for a moment, and the evil creatures rushing towards him suddenly stopped and seemed to have lost their target.

The three people quickly left the area. Taking advantage of the absence of demons, they used the lightness skill to jump a few times and arrived at the river.

As soon as they landed on the ground, Cang Min meditated on the spot: “I have a feeling.”

Lin Shu took out the prepared jade box and went to the bank to pick the White Bone Flowers.

This flower was easy to find. In the dark, there was only such a small plant with transparent roots and white flowers. There was almost one flower every hundred steps along the river.

Things in the world were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and disasters and blessings depended on each other. Within a hundred paces of a highly poisonous snake’s lair, there must be antidote herbs. In the Ten Thousand Ghost Abyss, a place where vitality is cut off and there are countless evil spirits, there is such a miraculous medicine as the White Bone Flower.

Lin Shu picked three flowers and Ling Xiao picked four. He calculated that the time for the escape talisman to wear off was approaching, so he returned to Cang Min.

Cang Min also opened his eyes and said, “It really is rewarding.”

“Congratulations,” Ling Xiao said.

Lin Shu also agreed: “Congratulations.”

Cang Min said: “Younger Martial Brother Lin, I haven’t mentioned it before that when you attacked those evil things, the sound of the zither was too unpleasant to hear.”

Lin Shu: “....”

If he plays a fixed tune, although his musical attainments are not high, he is not out of tune, so it is beautiful to hear. But if the zither and sword becomes one, then he will only think about how to stimulate the most solid and sharp spiritual power. Who cares about playing music.

He said: “I will try my best to correct.”

Ling Xiao: “It was not unpleasant to the ears.”

Cang Min: “Definitely unpleasant.”

Ling Xiao: “En?”

Cang Min: “...It’s not actually unpleasant.”

Ling Xiao smiled lightly.

Lin Shu wanted to laugh.

After a short period of relaxation, they took advantage of the effect of the elusive talisman that had not yet faded and immediately flew upstream along the river, intending to hide in the Yin Snake Lair at the source of the cold currents. On the way, Cang Min suddenly uttered a “Huh” sound.

Almost at the same time, Ling Xiao stopped.

Lin Shu also felt something was wrong.

Other places were full of endless streams of ghosts, but in the large area that they flew over just now, there was not a single evil creature.

At this time, the cat that had been holding Lin Shu without letting go actually raised its head and said, “Meow”.

Ling Xiao: “Let’s go and have a look.”

The author has something to say:

Cang Min: I give in.

The Translator has something to say:

The ‘translator note’ prompt is not functioning atm..(or maybe as the cat had said I’m just stoopid)

tn= “Flowers on brocade, a blazing fire cooks the oil” Meaning –the situation is very good and very festive.

TL’s Mini Theatre:
