Chapter 29 Everyone Who Sees It Has a Share
Lin Xuan strolled leisurely forward with long strides.
After following for a while, the tiger demon couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Is there really some kind of restriction here? Or is this pretty boy just trying to fool me?
Thinking of this, the tiger demon slowed down and whispered to Lin Xuan:
"Young Master Lin, you're walking so fast, aren't you afraid of disturbing the gods here?"
Lin Xuan had his back to the tiger demon, a cold smile on his face.
This tiger demon wasn't stupid, but it wasn't very smart either.
If there truly are deities here, then they would have known the moment they entered.
How you walk, whether you tiptoe or make a big fuss, will have absolutely no impact.
Moreover, he knew very well that as long as he didn't mess with anything on the ancient Kunlun Mountain and only touched the immortal herbs in the Immortal Herb Garden, there would be no risk.
Lin Xuan said calmly, "Old Hu, you don't know this, do you?"
"Since we were able to enter the ancient Kunlun Mountains, it means that this place is destined for us! Since we are destined, even if the immortals are disturbed, they will naturally not cause us any trouble."
"Is that so?" The tiger demon frowned, and the character "king" on his forehead became even more prominent.
It had never heard of such a theory before and was skeptical.
If Lin Xuan hadn't actually brought it into this fairyland, it would have already spoken up in protest.
Just as the tiger demon was deep in thought, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped.
This action caught the tiger demon off guard, causing it to lose its balance and collide with Lin Xuan.
"Ouch! Why...why did you suddenly stop?"
The tiger demon was both anxious and angry, wanting to curse, but worried that his voice would be too loud and disturb the gods, so he lowered his voice.
Lin Xuan remained calm and didn't turn his head.
"I stopped, of course, because we've arrived at our destination."
"This area in front of us is called the Immortal Herb Garden, which contains countless rare and precious herbs."
"Old Hu, now that we've come to this treasure trove together, I can't just keep all these treasures to myself."
"Since everyone who sees it gets a share, let's split it 50/50."
Lin Xuan turned around, adopting a very magnanimous demeanor.
The tiger demon stood still, head bowed, deliberately trying to hide his expression from Lin Xuan.
It took quite a while before it raised its head.
"Young Master Lin, what exactly do those ancient books you've seen say about this treasure land?"
Lin Xuan looked puzzled: "Old Hu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
The tiger demon forced a smile.
"What I really wanted to ask is, since it's so difficult to enter the ancient Kunlun Mountains, is there any special custom or tradition associated with leaving?"
"Also, is it possible to maintain contact with the outside world while in the ancient Kunlun Mountains?"
"If possible, we should cultivate peacefully in the mountains and use the immortal energy here to make one day equivalent to ten days in the outside world."
"Let's find a place in the mountains and send a message to our families outside, telling them not to worry."
"Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave this immortal mountain after a few years of successful cultivation?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan said:
"Leaving this sacred mountain isn't difficult; we can simply exit through the entrance we just came from."
"As for contacting the outside world, that's probably not an option."
"We're just ordinary mortals, how could we possibly bypass the restrictions of the immortal mountain to communicate with our families?"
"Not to mention us, even those accomplished cultivators cannot do it."
"I remember my wife telling me that she knew many highly skilled people, and those people said that once you enter the immortal mountain, it's as if you disappear from the world."
The tiger demon was overjoyed upon hearing this and grinned. Before anyone knew it, its teeth had become sharp and gleamed with a chilling aura.
"Haha, this is great!"
The tiger demon walked silently to Lin Xuan's side and hooked his arm around Lin Xuan's shoulder.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Lin, for bringing me to this blessed land and for sharing half of the immortal herb with me. I will definitely repay this kindness in full."
Lin Xuan said with a sincere expression:
"Hey, Lao Hu, don't say that. It's all just the way it is."
"Let's go, let's go take a look at the herb garden first."
As he spoke, he continued forward, and after passing through a barrier, the view suddenly opened up before him.
This was a small vegetable garden, with a hoe in the corner and dozens of oddly shaped herbs growing sparsely in the garden.
Lin Xuan's eyes gleamed.
At this point, he could no longer remain calm.
[Props: Herb-gathering hoe, a magical artifact left behind by a herb-gathering boy from the Tushita Palace]
[The Elixir: Lingzhi Grass, capable of altering the fate of mortals and possessing the power to bring the dead back to life]
[Immortal Elixir: Peach Sapling. The immortal planted the entire peach here in an attempt to grow a new peach tree. If picked directly, it will yield a complete peach.]
[Elixir: Golden Elixir Grass, a medicinal herb used in alchemy. Your alchemy level is too low to obtain more detailed information...]
Lin Xuan looked around, his heart filled with excitement.
Each of these precious herbs is a treasure that would cause countless people to fight over it, and now it lies here quietly.
Of course, Lin Xuan was also aware that although these treasures were easy to take, there would be great troubles after they were taken.
Apart from that one Ganoderma lucidum, all the other elixirs were already taken, or rather, reserved by the immortals long ago.
Once taken away, these immortals will surely cause a great uproar when they discover the elixir is missing.
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, walked to the side, picked up a hoe, squatted down, and began picking the Ganoderma lucidum while saying to the tiger demon:
"Old Hu, half of the herbs here are mine, and the other half is yours."
"Wait a moment, I'll give you this hoe after I'm done using it."
Seeing Lin Xuan with his back to him and completely unguarded, the tiger demon finally stopped pretending, turned around, and reverted to its original form.
In the blink of an eye, a huge tiger appeared behind Lin Xuan, its fur bristling, its eyes like discs, radiating a ferocious light.
However, his mouth remained tightly closed, and no smell was emitted.
Although the tiger demon reverted to its original form, it did not pounce on Lin Xuan immediately. Instead, it moved its body slowly, taking each step with great care and gentle movements.
The huge tiger claw landed on the ground without making the slightest sound.
Meanwhile, the tiger demon was still chatting with Lin Xuan, deliberately controlling its voice so that Lin Xuan wouldn't notice it was slowly approaching.
"Young Master Lin, are you sure this place is cut off from the outside world?"
Lin Xuan was still busy digging for Ganoderma lucidum, and said irritably:
"Didn't I tell you? Maybe a god could, but we definitely can't!"
The tiger demon asked again, "Young Master Lin, what you're saying might not be true, right? I remember your wife gave you a jade pendant, saying it could summon people."
"Why don't you try that jade pendant?"
"If we could really summon some senior expert to explore this sacred mountain with us, wouldn't our gains be even greater?"
The tiger demon kept talking and moving without stopping, slowly but steadily approaching Lin Xuan, getting closer and closer.
Lin Xuan still seemed completely oblivious.
"What's the point of using the jade pendant? Even if what my wife said is true, we can't call anyone here now."
At this moment, the tiger demon had already arrived behind Lin Xuan, its eyes revealing a hint of cruelty, excitement, and agitation.
"Heh, what do you mean by 'sharing in half'? If your wife were here, and I were allowed to take half, then I would indeed be the one getting the better deal."
"But you're the only pretty boy here, why should I only take half?"
I want them all!
The tiger demon suddenly opened its blood-red maw and bit at Lin Xuan's neck.
But the next moment, the tiger demon's eyes blurred, and it discovered that Lin Xuan had disappeared!
Where is that pretty boy?
The tiger demon was terrified and looked around, but no matter how it looked, it couldn't find any trace of Lin Xuan.
"Could it be that a celestial being was secretly hiding here, observing from the sidelines, and then intervened to help that pretty boy?"
"Oh, right, I think I've heard quite a few stories like this before: immortals test all living beings, and if anyone does something bad, the immortals will punish them."
The tiger demon grew increasingly frightened, and a few drops of cold sweat even trickled down its enormous head.
It was considering whether to kneel down and beg for mercy, asking the immortal to spare its life.
Even being a mount for an immortal is better than being killed by one.
But before the tiger demon could kneel down, Lin Xuan's voice rang out.
"Old Hu, I never expected you to be a tiger demon!"
"You better tell me the truth right now. Those two guys who took me into the mountains a few days ago, did they really have something to do and come down the mountain, or did you eat them?"
Upon hearing Lin Xuan's voice, the tiger demon calmed down slightly.
If a celestial being were to intervene, Lin Xuan would have absolutely no chance to speak at this moment.
It raised its head and looked around, searching for Lin Xuan's whereabouts, and said:
"Young Master Lin, you've misunderstood. Actually, I'm really good friends with those two brothers, and they did indeed go down the mountain."
"I was just worried that revealing my true form would scare you, so I kept disguised the whole way."
"But after entering the immortal mountain, the spiritual energy here was too rich, and I could no longer maintain it, so I revealed my true form."
"Young Master Lin, don't be afraid!"
Upon hearing this nonsense, Lin Xuan's vertical pupils revealed a hint of disdain. This tiger really lies without batting an eye.
Even at this point, he's still lying through his teeth, trying to trick himself out of this situation.
But he was too lazy to pretend anymore.
The tiger demon's pounce just now triggered a check.
You have been attacked by a "tiger spirit".
[Event triggered: "The tiger intends to harm people!"]
You receive a small bonus.
This is the ancient Kunlun Mountains. If the battle continues for too long, it will have unpredictable consequences. Please proceed with caution!
Lin Xuan suddenly laughed and fell back to the ground from the sky.
It turned out that when the tiger demon rushed over, he suddenly changed out of his human skin and transformed back into the Black Water Poison Dragon.
Because the Blackwater Poison Dragon's model was much larger than that of a human, Lin Xuan retreated considerably, avoiding the tiger's line of sight.
By the time the tiger spirit came to its senses and began searching for Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan had already activated his wind manipulation technique and floated into the air.
The tiger spirit never imagined that Lin Xuan could fly, so it never raised its head and naturally couldn't find Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan landed behind the tiger spirit, twisting his body, turning his head backward, and whipping his tail forward.
[Dragon Tail Swing (Fake)!]
"boom!"
Lin Xuan's tail struck the tiger demon's rear, sending it flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground.
The tiger spirit, caught off guard, flew into a rage and forgot all about being a god or anything like that. He struggled to his feet and prepared to turn around and retaliate.
The tiger spirit also has a skill similar to the dragon's tail sweep, which allows it to use its tail to sweep away enemies behind it.
But when the tiger demon saw Lin Xuan's current appearance, its movements froze.
"dragon?!"
