In Gu Shan’s eyes, Lin Chang’sheng must have been possessed and reborn by some super strong cultivator to be advancing this fast.
Otherwise, even if he was an unparalleled genius, there’s no way he could pull this off—a thirty-year-old with Late Stage Mahayana Cultivation? Who could even imagine that?
This kind of cultivation speed is downright terrifying.
You know, Gu Shan himself took over three thousand years to reach the Late Stage of Mahayana.
And yet, how old is Lin Chang’sheng right now?
So right now, Gu Shan admired him and envied him at the same time.
Lin Chang’sheng nodded ever so slightly, "I’ve noticed everything you did on this journey. So what do you want? Immortal Crystals, an Immortal Technique, or an Immortal Treasure?"
Lin Chang’sheng was planning to throw Gu Shan a bit of a bone.
If he didn’t, Gu Shan might start getting ideas if things dragged on too long.
After all, Gu Shan really had helped Lin Chang’sheng quite a bit lately.
"Wait, I can pick a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?"
When Gu Shan heard this, his heart almost leapt out of his chest. Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasures were beyond rare!
Was Lin Chang’sheng actually planning on giving one to him?
If Gu Shan got his hands on a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, his power would absolutely skyrocket.
Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and summoned Mou Yuntao’s Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.
It looked kind of like a trident—though who knows if Gu Shan would actually be any good at using it.
The treasure was called the Nine-Star Divine Halberd, and it was a Lower Grade First Class Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.
"For me?"
Gu Shan could hardly believe it. Lin Chang’sheng actually just handed him a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?
Who could compare to that kind of generosity?
Honestly, in the whole Immortal Realm, there probably isn’t anyone who would just give away a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure.
Every strong cultivator dreams of owning one. Some even value them more than their own lives.
"What else? Take it."
Lin Chang’sheng tossed it right over to Gu Shan.
Gu Shan caught the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, his heart pounding.
Sure, he mainly practiced Fist Techniques and Immortal Arts, but if you offered him a top-tier Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, like hell would he say no.
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable! From now on, I, Gu Shan, will follow you wherever you go!"
Gu Shan made his stance clear on the spot.
He decided to follow Lin Chang’sheng from here on out.
At first, his relationship with Lin Chang’sheng was just a partnership.
But now Lin Chang’sheng had completely won him over.
Because whether it was Lin Chang’sheng’s cultivation or his character, it thoroughly impressed Gu Shan.
Not to mention, he was being insanely generous.
Following a powerhouse like this... good things were sure to come.
"Relax, stick with me and good things will keep coming your way! If you get a chance, bring me by the Gu Family in Futian Province sometime!"
Lin Chang’sheng came right out and said what was on his mind.
He wasn’t just trying to win over Gu Shan, but also the whole Gu Family behind him in Futian Province.
"You want to visit the Gu Family, Immortal Venerable?"
Hearing Lin Chang’sheng’s words, Gu Shan was over the moon—this was Lin Chang’sheng clearly trying to buddy up to the Gu Family!
This was absolutely massive news.
"Why, not welcome?"
Lin Chang’sheng said.
"Welcome, of course you’re welcome! If Immortal Venerable came to my family, it’d be the greatest honor imaginable!"
Gu Shan laughed heartily.
"Don’t be too sure—your Gu Family might not actually want me around!"
Lin Chang’sheng chuckled, since he’d seriously pissed off quite a few giant powers lately.
The Gu Family might not want to take his side.
After a few more pleasantries, Gu Shan took his leave.
Having just received a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, he obviously needed time to study it and see what it could do.
Each Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure has over thirty different Restrictions. If you want to unleash its full power, you’ve got to unravel them one by one.
Once Gu Shan left, Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and summoned Guo Yunchu.
This brat was still a pawn in his hand—it wouldn’t do to let her suffocate in his Storage Ring forever.
"Asshole! You really locked me up in a storage bag, huh? It’s jam-packed with corpses—you nearly made me puke!"
As soon as Guo Yunchu came out, she started gagging.
Because inside there were all kinds of corpses Lin Chang’sheng had stored away, most of them snatched from the Secret Realm.
He was planning to use them for Corpse Refining.
"Oh? Looks like you want to go back in, huh?"
Lin Chang’sheng raised his hand, ready to stuff Guo Yunchu back inside again—which scared her so much, she immediately apologized.
Seeing how quick she was to admit fault, Lin Chang’sheng let it slide!
"This is the Mou Family in Sunset City, Spiritual Spring Province. We’ll rest here for a few days, then head on to the Heaven-Reaching Sect!"
Lin Chang’sheng said to Guo Yunchu.
In these few days, Lin Chang’sheng planned to refine the corpses in his storage bag into Corpse Puppets. With a bit of luck, he might fuse them into even stronger puppets.
That way, the journey to the Heaven-Reaching Sect would be a bit safer.
"Wait, what? You already crossed the Demon Sea?"
Guo Yunchu was in disbelief—she’d been stuck in the Storage Ring and had no clue what had happened after.
She never expected that when she finally got out, she’d already be in Spiritual Spring Province—so close to the Heaven-Reaching Sect.
"What, you’re not happy about it?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked.
"No, that’s not it! I just didn’t think you’d really make it through the Demon Sea. This is awesome! Once we reach the Heaven-Reaching Sect and get the Divine Liquid, I’ll be able to fix my meridians!"
Thinking about it, Guo Yunchu got visibly excited.
Having all your meridians broken and being stuck as a mortal was pure torture—got bullied nonstop.
"Go wash up. Don’t bug me unless you need something!"
Lin Chang’sheng tossed out those words and closed his eyes.
Guo Yunchu didn’t say another word and slipped out of the room.
Once Guo Yunchu was gone, Lin Chang’sheng pulled out the corpses from the Holy Soul Banner and got to work refining them into Corpse Puppets.
Taking stock, Lin Chang’sheng had over two hundred Integration Stage corpse puppets, more than fifty Mahayana Stage (Early to Late Stage), twelve Early Stage Tribulation Crossing, three Middle Stage, and two Late Stage Tribulation Crossing.
