Chapter 6 Swallowing Gold and Eating Iron
Lin Yige took Liu Fufeng’s newly-issued storage bag out of Yingxian Pavilion and headed straight to the top of Lingyun Peak.
As the old saying goes, if you have a sword in your hand, you will not panic.
Thousands of years ago, she perfected her swordsmanship. She could make a sword from flying flowers and picking leaves. There was no big difference if she had a sword or not.
Now that he has lost his cultivation, Lin Yige desperately wants a sword that he can use.
Generally speaking, swordsmen's swords are naturally better made to measure.
But Lin Yige was penniless and couldn't even afford a copper plate, let alone the treasures of heaven and earth.
For her, it is convenient and worry-free to go to Wuying Peak and touch it.
The cave sky of Heming Mountain stretches for three thousand miles, with four peaks, two streams, one lake, and several valleys and caves.
Lingyun, the main peak of Heming Mountain, has the Yingxian Pavilion on the mountainside, and upwards there are Ziyang Hall, Zushi Hall, Qingxin Pavilion, Shuanghe Tower, Yandaotai, etc.
The pavilions and pavilions on Lingyun Peak are magnificent and have the atmosphere of an immortal family.
If Lingyun Peak is taken as the head of the crane, the east and west sides where the white crane's wings are, separated by Feihong and Songmei Streams, are the two peaks of Tingyun and Chengyun.
The Qiankun Taoist Temple is set up on the two side peaks, which is the place where male and female disciples of the Guiyi Sect live, move and practice daily.
Opposite the main peak of Lingyun and connected to the two peaks of Tingyun and Chengyun is Wuying Peak.
Wuying Peak is not high, but it has special significance to the Guiyi Sect.
Before the founder of the Guiyi Sect ascended to heaven, he buried all the spiritual swords he collected in Wuying Peak, waiting for those who were destined to get them.
Since then, successive disciples of the Guiyi Sect have imitated their ancestor and hid their swords here.
In addition, the swords left by the deceased disciples of the Guiyi Sect will also be buried in Wuying Peak.
Lin Yige walked for half an hour before reaching the Jiuzhong Cliff at the top of Lingyun Peak.
The waterfalls and springs formed after the melting of ice and snow gather here to form a clear blue water, which is Mingjing Lake.
The high mountains blocked the sunlight, and the lake was covered with light smoke and white mist, making it look like a huge bottomless cold pool.
In the middle of the cliff under Jiuzhong Cliff, two ancient vines are tightly intertwined, growing into a rugged plank road that leads directly to Wuying Peak.
After confirming the location of the ancient vine, Lin Yige summoned a white crane by the Mirror Lake.
She jumped from the cliff to the back of the crane and rode the crane down. After a while, she landed steadily on the plank road.
Lin Yige looked back at the cliff.
There are twenty-four extremely hidden natural caves on the cliff.
Each of the twenty-four caves forms a small world. Only disciples of the Guiyi Sect who have cultivated sword intention are qualified to choose a cave to live in.
Among them, Jingzhe Cave was Lin Yige’s residence thousands of years ago.
However, the terrain where Jingzhe Cave is located is extremely dangerous, and a sword is required to enter and exit.
With her eyesight in the Qi refining stage now, it is difficult to even look into the cave and sigh.
It is urgent to improve your cultivation.
Lin Yige withdrew his gaze and walked along the ancient vine plank road for about half an hour before setting foot on Wuying Peak.
The last time I came to Wuying Peak was the eve of my downhill training a thousand years ago.
Considering the possibility of accidentally dying during his training, Lin Yige buried several used spiritual swords here in advance in order to save his fellow disciples from having to go to dangerous places to find swords.
The vegetation on Wuying Peak is mainly composed of pine and bamboo. Disciples of the Guiyi Sect often hide their swords under the bamboo roots, and then conveniently carve the names of the spiritual swords on the bamboo joints.
Lin Yige took out the shovel he asked his nephew for from his storage bag and prepared to dig out the old sword he had used.
She dug three times in a row, but all of them were empty.
Didn’t it mean that the Guiyi Sect had only a handful of new disciples in the past thousand years?
How could it be such a coincidence that a handful of disciples just happened to choose all the swords she buried?
Lin Yige straightened up, inserted the shovel in his hand into the soft soil covered with bamboo leaves, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead. After the sword energy opened the meridians, although spiritual power circulated in the meridians and continuously strengthened the physical body, in just one day, this physical body that had not been able to survive had not yet reached the strength that a monk at the peak of Qi refining should have.
After only three holes were dug, I was already feeling out of breath and suffering from back pain.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Lin Yige regained his energy and prepared to dig out the spiritual sword that his second senior brother had buried through talking and laughing.
She remembered that the second senior brother buried all the swords in a pit.
As soon as he lifted the shovel, Lin Yige felt that it felt wrong in his hand. When he lowered his head, he saw that there was only a wooden handle left in the shovel.
...
Looking at the bare shovel handle, Lin Yige suddenly remembered an ancient legend that his master had told when he was young.
Roughly speaking, the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, so there is a saying that metal overcomes wood. However, there are exceptions. Where the metal spiritual energy is strong, alienated wood will be born, which can swallow gold and eat iron.
The golden energy of Wuying Peak is strong, and there are evergreen pines and bamboos, which is consistent with the legend.
Lin Yige was not happy.
If the ancient legend is true, it means that all the spiritual swords on Wuying Peak were eaten by the mutated wood spirit!
That is the most important inheritance and accumulation left by generations of disciples of the Guiyi Sect over the past ten thousand years!
The Guiyi faction, which was not already wealthy, made matters worse.
Lin Yige rubbed the throbbing veins on his forehead, took a deep breath, and murmured to himself: "Calm down! I don't have the power to bind the phoenix now, so I must calm down..."
Anger can damage the liver, and the Guiyi sect has no disciples who are good at tinkering with elixirs and medicine.
The alienated wood spirit has devoured thousands of high-grade spiritual swords. In a direct conflict, it can easily kill the weak self.
Lin Yige calmed down, threw aside the remaining wooden handle of the shovel, and rummaged through the storage bag, and found a dozen soybean-sized ones that Liu Fufeng had stuffed inside. Golden beans.
She thought for a moment and grabbed two golden beans in her hand.
It took at most a hundred years for the mutated wood spirit to become wise, otherwise a disciple would have discovered that the sword tomb on Wuying Peak was empty.
The alienated wood spirit just now didn’t even let go of the shovel, so he must be very hungry.
You might as well use golden beans to lure it out and coax it to recognize its master.
A newborn spirit shouldn’t be too hard to deceive, right?
If that fails, we can only rely on the divine will and sword intention from thousands of years ago to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared.
Lin Yige picked up one of the golden beans and placed it at his feet. He carefully separated a trace of his consciousness and locked it firmly on the golden beans.
Not long after, his consciousness was touched, and a ball of pure and sharp wood spirit energy surged in, instantly drowning the golden bean.
Lin Yige took advantage of the situation and placed the filament of spiritual consciousness on the ball of wood spirit energy, conveying the fact that he had endless golden beans in his hand.
This is not something she just said.
The current physical body is composed of the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood. After forming the elixir, it can easily turn stone into gold.
After Lin Yige put forward the conditions, he did not take back his consciousness, picked up another golden bean, threw it and started playing with it.
After a long time without any movement, Lin Yige decided to add more fire and made a move to put the golden beans into his mouth.
Sure enough, where the golden beans were placed before, a bamboo shoot sprouted out of the ground and quickly grew into a tall purple bamboo.
Lin Yige looked at Zizhu, and in a flash, the golden beans in his hand were knocked to the ground by a branch that had not yet grown bamboo leaves.
The golden bean fell on the bulging bamboo root and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Yige came back to his senses and shot like lightning, seizing the third section of the entire purple bamboo that had the strongest aura.
The sword intention moved according to the heart, turned into the sword energy in the palm, and penetrated Zizhu.
