Chapter 257 Traveling lightly
Tianfu Mountain.
It lasted three months.
The "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound of iron can be heard all over the mountain again.
All the disciples in the sect knew that this was Elder Heiku starting to forge magic weapons again.
Everyone has heard that the Black Skeleton Demon Lord not only knows formations, but also has the ability to refine weapons, so everyone is basically not surprised by this.
It's just that this time because I was working for the leader, I deliberately didn't turn on the soundproof formation, just so that Lin Shan could know from a long distance that it wasn't lazy and was working very hard. I hope Lin Shan would reward it after it was done." Sweetness".
Therefore, sometimes whether the subordinates are highly motivated to work depends entirely on whether the conditions provided by the boss are sufficient.
It’s true that workers like to fish, but if you are really willing to ask a high price, all the stars in the sky will be plucked for you!
After this period of buffering, Lin Shan refined the "Netherworld Ghost Fire" fire and successfully sent it under the soul pill in Niwan Palace. The green flame burned and jumped with the support of soul power, constantly helping him to calcine and temper the soul pill.
This soul fire can also be used against the enemy, which is considered a new method of his.
Next, I sorted out the various exercises in the body.
"Wind and Thunder Jue" is still running, protecting the wind and thunder spiritual power in Dantian from being eroded by soul power.
After completing the "Nine Transformations of the Golden Body" exercise, your body's functions and essence gradually become stronger.
"Huangzhuheshenfa" revolves around soul pills transforming soul power and extracting essence to replenish the mud pills.
Everything in the body is temporarily balanced, and there are no worries in a short period of time. You can completely let go of your hands and feet when fighting with others.
Of course, the only regret is.
There is no way to "pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger" like last time when facing Protector Qiu when he came out of seclusion.
If he hadn't looked like a "kidney deficiency" at that time, coughing and sweating, with dark circles under his eyes, and his lips were bleeding and his face was pale, the Nine Nether Sect's Qiu Protector might not have fought him, and would have directly fought him when he came. He turned around and left.
It is precisely because that weak look is so deceptive that it arouses the greed of human nature, causing him to become a "soft persimmon" and "sweet potato" in the eyes of others, and everyone wants to come and pinch him.
And that look is also very suitable for him to take the opponent by surprise and counterattack with a strong force through the opponent's carelessness. It can also be said to be a natural disguise.
Who can guard against this purely natural "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger" look?
However, everything has its pros and cons, and sometimes it is not a good thing to attract too much hatred. Group after group of people come to make trouble, and no one can stand it.
"If you can switch the kidney deficiency mode anytime and anywhere, wouldn't it be possible to fish for law enforcement?"
A series of crooked thoughts flashed through Lin Shan's mind, but he still shook his head after thinking about it.
His previous "kidney deficiency" was a real deficiency of essence, which could not be faked. No matter how he was probed, they would conclude that his combat power at the golden elixir stage was weak, and he did not expect that he still had the soul elixir stage.
If he wanted to deliberately disguise himself now, it would probably be difficult to hide it from others, unless he had the secret technique of disguise at the level of minor supernatural powers.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, the time is almost up.
If you leave customs too late, you may miss the meeting in Luzhong, and it would not be good to keep the ancestors of the Yang family waiting for a long time.
Out of his retreat.
Arrive at the weapon refining hall on the top of the mountain.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was lying down next to the sword washing pool diligently, using a small chisel to carve out the inscriptions and prohibitions. After finishing carving, he took out a small file and started polishing it!
After polishing, I took out the sandpaper and polished it a second time.
Then he took out the hemp wheel disk, and the hemp wheel flew around after being driven by the soul power, and continued to polish it three times carefully.
Then he took out the cloth wheel flying disc, and the soul power drove the cloth wheel to fly, poured the special liquid, and started precision polishing again!
After polishing, he took out a magical instrument that was similar to a "microscope" and started looking for flaws with a cat's eye.
……
Lin Shan watched for a while and couldn't help but feel a little numb.
As for that?
If it's not just to repair a magic weapon, why are you doing it so precisely?
Is this the legendary craftsman spirit of a great country?
He is worthy of being a master of weapon refining!
After working hard for a while, the Black Skeleton Demon King was finally done.
The Broken Water Sword regained its brilliance, and the aqua blue halo circulated. Under the meticulous polishing of the Black Skeleton Demon Lord, the entire interior of the weapon refining hall shone brightly.
The surging water spirit energy began to become active, the humid air gradually became thicker, and the magical appearance of the magic sword became more than ten times more obvious than before.
Looking at the surface again, there are rune grooves, forbidden nodes, inlaid components, mountain birds, insects, fish, and pictographic symbols, all densely arranged and well-proportioned, just like a work of art!
Lin Shan couldn't bear to use it to kill people!
Based on this appearance, some people would probably believe this sword if it was a spiritual treasure!
However, the reinforced panel truly told him that this was a low-grade magic weapon with twelve forbidden laws.
It's just that in order to do his best for him, the Black Skull Demon Lord spent a lot of time thinking about repairs. This is a new one.
It is estimated to be newer than when it left the factory.
As for the other pair of iron rope darts obtained from Protector Qiu.
They have also been repaired again. The two iron ropes are as smooth as ever, and the darts at the end have been transformed into iron caltrops. The spikes, hooks, and oblique thorns have been armed, and they are even equipped with poison sacs!
If there is any poison in Linshan, it can be stored in the poison sac and released inadvertently with darts at critical moments.
The Black Skull Demon Lord looked at him eagerly at this time, and his two bone hands kept rubbing together, as if he was expecting something.
Lin Shan admired these two works with great satisfaction and couldn't help but praise:
"As expected of a master of weapon refining, look at this craftsmanship, look at this design, look at this edging, tsk tsk tsk, it's absolutely amazing!"
However, the Black Skeleton Demon King still looked at him eagerly and said nothing. He looked pitiful and was no different from a beggar.
Lin Shan just stared at the magic weapon, secretly looking at this thing from the corner of his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed.
I just asked it to do a simple repair for me, as long as it can be used. When it does this, not only the cost goes up, but also all my money is spent!
Aren’t the Xun Gu Sect’s spiritual stone reserves Lin Shan’s assets?
If you say you want to be artistic, that’s not unacceptable.
But do I, the leader, have to pay for such fancy labor costs?
But thinking that I might still need this long-term repairman in the future, it’s not a good idea to discourage him too much.
Lin Shan had no choice but to take out his treasure.
The "soul source stone slab" the size of a washbasin.
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord was almost drooling when he saw it, his eyes were fixed on this place, as if he were a dog looking at bones.
Lin Shan gritted his teeth. Although the reserves were very rich, they could not be consumed at will. The province still had to save money!
He painfully scraped off a little bit of crumbs from it and placed it on the Black Skeleton Lord's bone claws.
The skeleton was not too small at all. He took out an exquisite jade bottle of mutton fat and carefully poured the crumbs into it. He flattered Lin Shan with a flattering look on his face. He looked like a dog-legged person and wished that Lin Shan would patronize his business all the time.
"Brother, if you have any magic weapons that need repair in the future, or even spiritual treasures, I can handle them for you. They will definitely be newer than when they left the factory, and they will be easier to use than before!"
"My craftsmanship is a golden signature in the Fifth World of Hell. Everyone who has experienced it says it is good!" "Quality guaranteed, star experience, absolutely worth the money!"
Lin Shan played with the two magic weapons for a while, and after it became clear that the operation was smoother and smoother, he didn't care about what was there and what was not.
He waved his hand and walked out of the weapon refining hall.
After finding Lu Xiuming and giving instructions about the church affairs, he turned into a gray rainbow light and disappeared into the sky.
……
Luzhong County.
Xianyin Pool.
Shuiyuexuan.
The ancestor of the Yang family was sitting in the pavilion, meditating and waiting with his eyes closed. There was no one around.
However, on the small island around the inner lake, a group of monks in the foundation building stage and Qi training stage were looking forward to it. It seemed that they were all disciples of the four major families of Wangyue City and the four sects of Lunan.
They didn't have Lin Shan's status and strength, so they naturally didn't dare to show off. They arrived early and waited for more than a month.
At this moment, a startling rainbow flashed across the horizon.
“Whew~”
The air waves set off waves of ripples, spreading in all directions, and the figure inside flew steadily into the small pavilion in the lake.
The ancestor of the Yang family opened his eyes and looked at each other with a smile.
"Master Lin, you are here."
Lin Shan cupped his fists and smiled casually.
"I have kept you, Taoist friend Yang, waiting for a long time. I was delayed for a while on the way. I hope you will bear with me."
The ancestor of the Yang family was also a cheerful person. He did not dwell on the details, but invited him to sit down. The two of them drank tea and talked about each other, just like ordinary friends talking about family affairs.
After the pleasantries were exchanged, information began to be exchanged.
Of course, most of the time, the ancestor of the Yang family was talking and Lin Shan was listening.
"This trip will take a long time, and there are some situations where we need to be mentally prepared in advance."
"The Swallowing Star Mountain Range spans the Three Kingdoms, Jin, Chu, and Lu. It is at the junction between Confucianism and Demonic Sect. There are many demon kings hidden in it. Countless demon beasts' territories are dotted here and there. Therefore, you must not rush into it rashly. , just follow the rules and find the forbidden place on the cliff, and don’t make extravagant mistakes.”
"Secondly, it goes without saying that there are dangers in the cliff forbidden area. Everyone knows its origins. If you want to enter it, the first big hurdle is the aurora sea that surrounds it."
"The Aurora Sea is like a natural moat, surrounding the edge of the Cliff Forbidden Land. It is said that the Cliff Forbidden Land was used as an ancient battlefield, and the void was broken by the battle between the great powers of this world and the demons from outside the world, which disrupted the earth's magnetic field, thus attracting a large number of auroras to adhere to."
"Ordinary aurora in the aurora sea are harmless and are just a strange phenomenon in the sky and earth. But if you encounter a star-studded aurora, it will be a wonder in the world. If you are not careful, you may die on the spot!"
"When I attacked the Dai family, I was hit by a star-shaped aurora as thick as my thumb. As a result, I destroyed an offensive magic weapon and damaged a defensive magic weapon. Then I was seriously injured and returned to the clan to recuperate. It took nearly ten years to barely get rid of the starry aurora"
……
As the ancestor of the Yang family spoke, he couldn't help but think about it, showing a look of lingering fear.
Lin Shan couldn't help but change his face. He secretly made a note and was always vigilant. If he accidentally received such a blow, he would probably capsize and there would be no way to escape.
The ancestor of the Yang family continued:
"In the Aurora Sea, there are not only stars shining in the aurora, but also the interference of geomagnetic gravity, which confuses the vision and hearing of living beings, and even the spiritual consciousness cannot be diffused. Therefore, it is easy to get lost in it, and neither the way forward nor the way back can be found. He was able to wander in the Aurora Sea for a long time, and eventually died when he encountered the shining Aurora.”
The ancestor of the Yang family also sighed deeply when he said this.
The loss of five senses in the aurora sea makes the monks who enter fly around like headless flies. Over time, encountering the shining aurora is a high probability event, which can be said to be a headache.
However, since he dared to go this time, it was because he had the experience of his predecessors for reference.
"Every year in July, when the fire is flowing, that is, in the Mingtang constellation in the sky, the fall of one of the sub-stars will temporarily disturb the mother of the earth's magnetism, causing a loophole in the Aurora Sea to take advantage of. We enter at this time There is a higher chance of crossing the Aurora Sea ”
Lin Shan nodded. The theory behind this is that the fall of meteors in July will affect the earth's magnetic field and cause the Aurora Sea to lose some of its interference abilities, giving people the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes.
The ancestor of the Yang family then talked about the trip. As Jindan monks, the two of them would lead the other eight small teams, that is, disciples of the four major families of Wangyue City and the four sects of Lunan to set off together.
First, go to the foot of the Swallowing Star Mountains in the northeastern part of the Lu State. There is a fairy city "Jiangning City" there, adjacent to the junction of the Three Kingdoms. It is one of the safe entrances to the Swallowing Star Mountains from the Lu State, and it is also the closest starting point to the cliff forbidden area.
It's only June now, so they can go to "Jiangning City" to settle down, wait for the Aurora Sea vulnerability in July, and take the opportunity to find out the latest situation of the Swallowing Star Mountains.
Linshan has nothing to do with it, and it is easy to accept it.
The two walked out of Shuiyuexuan Pavilion and came to the lakeside islands of Xianyin Pool.
Members of the other eight sects and aristocratic families also came forward to greet them. There were about ten people from each family, and the total number of people could reach over a hundred.
Lin Shan discovered that most of the leaders were old people in the foundation building stage who were dying, and those below were also old people in the qi training stage or disciples who were trying to fight for their future. Most of these people either had death aspirations or gave up like gamblers. Fight.
It is also conceivable that the cliff forbidden area is so dangerous that even Jindan real people have a narrow escape, not to mention this group of middle and low-level monks.
Before thinking comes and goes, you should also prepare yourself mentally. If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Even small people have big dreams.
The difference between Lin Shan and these people is that he already has the golden elixir stage combat power. He is no longer a chess piece in danger, but a chess player competing with various forces. This is the earth-shaking change brought about by strength.
The mission of him and the ancestors of the Yang family is nothing more than to take these allies along the way, preferably into the Aurora Sea.
If force majeure is encountered along the way, it is natural to abandon them at any time. This has been discussed in advance, and everyone in this group has signed a life and death certificate, so they have no objection to this.
Master Jin Danqi is willing to take them for a ride for the sake of his elders, which is already good!
Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in heaven.
As for the Yang family and the Xun Gu sect, because the ancestors of the Yang family and Lin Shan went there in person, they did not need to bring any disciples with them. If they were emotionally bound by their own families, they would be a drag on each other.
In real danger, the two of them are natural allies and can only rely on each other for support.
The men under him are all discarded sons who can be abandoned at any time, and they cannot become Jin Dan's weakness. This is the consensus of the two, and traveling lightly is the most suitable for them.
Next, he gave brief instructions to the hundreds of people and told them what they should pay attention to, and then everyone set off on the journey.
The ancestor of the Yang family threw out a crescent moon flying boat, carrying everyone to the northeast of Lu State.
