"I restrained you." Xiao Lingling sat in front of the dressing table, quietly looking at Lin Xin combing her long hair in the bronze mirror.
"There are no restrictions. I like this kind of life." Lin Xin carefully combed her long hair with a focused expression.
"If it weren't for me, maybe you wouldn't stay in such a small villa." Xiao Lingling whispered, "You should have your own world, instead of the villa being everything to you."
"Did you suddenly have a fever today? Why did you start talking nonsense?" Lin Xin touched her forehead in a funny way.
"I'm not talking nonsense." Xiao Lingling turned her head and said sternly to him.
"Okay, okay" Lin Xin smiled and continued to gently tie up her hair.
After finishing dressing up, the two came to the small lake together.
The snow was falling heavily, fluttering like feathers. The two of them put on white fur-collared coats and sat down in a pavilion by the small lake.
"I may have to go out recently." Lin Xin said softly. "I'll be back soon."
"It's okay. I'm alone in the villa. It's nice to have a few of their children for a while." Xiao Lingling smiled.
She never asked Lin Xin what he was doing out there, she just trusted him 100% because she knew that if Lin Xin was willing to tell her, he would have told her already. If he was not willing, it would be useless for her to ask.
"Don't worry, there's no danger. It's just a walk." Lin Xin laughed. "If the journey wasn't a little further, I wouldn't have to mention it to you. You might not even notice if I go straight there and come back."
Xiao Lingling smiled, but her expression looked a little tired.
A servant brought a charcoal stove to dry her hands. She took off her gloves and rubbed her hands gently. She felt that the air was unusually dry.
"Master, there is an urgent report."
Lin Xin just sat down next to her. Someone came up to report. Lin Xin took the envelope handed over by the servant, opened it gently and glanced at it.
"I'll be back as soon as I go. You can rest here." He pinched Xiao Lingling's cheek gently.
"Yes." Xiao Lingling nodded obediently.
Lin Xin tightened her white fox fur collar, stood up and left.
Xiao Lingling watched him walk out of the pavilion, and then said something to the servant as he walked. As she walked farther and farther along the small bend on the lake, she felt a little tired. She didn't know why, but her health seemed to be getting worse recently.
It's getting worse.
Slowly leaning against the wooden pillar of the pavilion, she slowly fell asleep without realizing it.
I don't know how long it took, but she slowly opened her eyes.
The snow is getting heavier
She stood up, and for some reason, the guards and maids who were originally guarding her were all gone.
"Here comes someone." She was a little scared and called softly.
No one responded.
"Huh?" Then she suddenly realized that her pavilion was in the middle of a sea of scarlet flowers, with no shadow of lake water around it.
"Here is it." She looked a little confused, but for some reason, she didn't feel scared.
Walking out of the pavilion, she slowly looked around.
The snow was flying heavily, and pieces as big as goose feathers slipped from her side and fell to the ground. They fell into the sea of flowers, but disappeared.
Walking into the sea of flowers, the red and bright flowers around you, each one is as big as a fist, are blooming dazzlingly and extremely delicate.
She stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes, and the snowflakes fell on her palm. But they didn't feel cold.
"Is anyone here?"
She shouted loudly.
The sea of flowers seemed endless. She looked behind her and was shocked to see that the previous pavilion had also disappeared.
A person stands in the middle of the sea of flowers, as if he is helpless and has no edge to dock the boat.
"Is anyone there?"
She moved forward slowly. She screamed as she walked.
She didn't know how long she walked, but she finally saw a small pavilion in front of her. There was a table inside the pavilion, which was the desk she used to practice calligraphy.
She walked closer and saw the four treasures of the study placed on the desk, among which the inkstone had been ground with ink.
Stepping forward, she picked up the brush and dipped it into the ink.
The ink flew strangely, flew out of the inkstone, and turned into a wisp of black smoke, like a rope, surrounding her in a circle, and finally condensed gently into an ink butterfly, which landed on her outstretched finger.
The butterfly paused for a moment, then flew up again, leaving the pavilion and flying towards the sea of flowers in the distance.
Xiao Lingling followed it out of the pavilion.
"Don't go out." Suddenly a voice called her.
She paused and just walked out, looking back at the pavilion.
I saw a vague figure standing vaguely in the pavilion. I couldn't make out the appearance or figure clearly, but I could vaguely tell that it was a person.
"Don't go out"
The sound seemed to be coming from far away, vaguely present.
Xiao Lingling hesitated. She looked at the ink butterfly again, but saw that it had flown far away, and a man-like figure appeared in the distance, vaguely waving to her.
"Husband" Xiao Lingling hesitated.
The figure seemed to be smiling at her, not answering, just waving.
Xiao Lingling hesitated and was about to walk towards him.
"Mother!"
Suddenly, a thunderous sound exploded from my ears.
She woke up, opened her eyes, and saw Xiao Linzhen holding her hand beside her, looking at her worriedly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so pale." Xiao Linzhen's childish voice echoed in her ears.
Only then did Xiao Lingling realize that she was still sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by the small lake, and there were all the guards there, many of them.
Just now, maybe it was a dream
"Zhen'er"
She didn't know why, but suddenly there was a twinge of pain in her heart, and she gently hugged Lin Zhen into her arms.
****************
Forge room.
Lin Xin and several blacksmiths gathered together beside the red blacksmith's stove, watching carefully as they hammered the red metal blocks on the stove with solemn expressions.
"No way, owner!" said an old blacksmith with a white beard. "Yunjin is too stubborn in nature and cannot be dissolved without a special primer."
"Is there nothing you can do?" Lin Xin frowned.
"We have used more than ten methods. Unless it is an underground furnace, there is nothing we can do. The legendary underground furnace can only be found in immortal sects at least. We ordinary craftsmen can't get that kind of divine furnace.
Even the fire required is hard-earned and cannot be maintained at all." The old blacksmith was confused.
Lin Xin nodded slowly.
The Red Flower Sword is about to break. This is the sword he chose for sacrifice. If it breaks, it will cause serious damage to his mind and his cultivation level will drop by at least half. It must be repaired.
Yunjin is a special, powerful metal with self-healing ability, but it also has an extremely difficult point to overcome, that is, it is difficult to melt.
"Apart from the stove, is there any other way?" he asked softly.
The old blacksmith tugged at his beard in embarrassment.
"Yes, there is. If the village owner can find the Earth Fire Golden Plum, it can also lower the melting point of the Cloud Gold. Although it is only temporary, it is enough for us to do something."
"Earth Fire Golden Plum?"
"Yes, it is a special and rare flower that can only be found in volcanic areas. Moreover, most people don't know what it is used for. Because it will explode if you are not careful. So no one will collect it and sell it." The old blacksmith nodded.
, "I also heard my father mention it once."
"Earth, Fire, Golden Plum, Volcano" Lin Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"In addition, Villa Master, with the strength of the Villa, if we can find Earth Fire Golden Plum, Nine Flower Iron, and White Deer Silk. After gathering these materials, I can try to forge the legendary magic weapon."
"I don't need a magic weapon. What I want is a way to improve my Red Flower Sword." Lin Xin said calmly.
"That's even better." The old blacksmith chuckled, "If these materials are gathered together, I can confidently cast the Red Flower Sword into a multi-layered hollow sword for the owner!"
"Multi-layered hollow sword?" Lin Xin's heart suddenly moved. The hollow sword refers to the blade being covered with metal layer by layer. Rune formations can be inscribed in the middle of each layer. Generally, a hollow sword is made of
It depends on the skill of the blacksmith and the ability of the formation master, but the least hollow sword also has at least three layers of inner walls. In this way, the formation on one sword can be tripled!
"Not only three times, the inner wall of each layer can also be engraved with formation runes. This will add two more layers, which means it can reach five times the original power!"
Lin Xin quickly calculated the approximate power, and felt faintly excited.
"Does the owner have a plan?" The old blacksmith looked at him with a smile.
"Young Lao always decides that I will agree first, right?" Lin Xin asked with a smile.
This old blacksmith is the most powerful blacksmith in Yuefu and even the surrounding areas. He was also attracted by the good reputation and financial resources of Lingxin Villa to join.
"Isn't this a matter of mutual benefit? I can fulfill my wish and build a magic weapon, and the village owner can get the weapon he wants." Yang Lao said with a smile.
Since both of them had no objections, they began to discuss the specific source of the materials. The red flower sword was also taken out to make a mold.
After leaving the forging room, Lin Xin took care of some business, played with Lin Zhen Lingling for a while, and then it was evening.
He hugged Xiao Lingling and unknowingly entered the dark residence again.
Prepare everything, take out the demon talisman, summon the carriage again, and quickly walk up.
*********************
The sun is shining brightly and the maple trees are like blood.
laugh!
Lin Xin finally killed a two-faced man, and his clothes were almost soaked with sweat. He picked up a piece of demon talisman on the ground with difficulty. He looked at the corpses scattered around.
The cultivation level in the status bar has finally been upgraded to the second level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Xiao Guiyuan Jue now collects spiritual energy, and it can only increase significantly by killing masters with high cultivation levels, but such masters have extremely terrifying physical defenses.
Without a magic weapon, he would have to grind the opponent to death with great difficulty.
"Only this kind of extremely difficult silver armor can be as difficult as the demon talisman. It is much more difficult than the noodle man."
It took more than two months for him to obtain such a piece of demon talisman, and this was only able to replenish the piece of demon talisman that he had just disappeared.
Many times before, he was severely injured and fled back in embarrassment. If his physical attributes had not improved a little, his recovery would have been faster. In addition, the villa had strong financial resources and could find all kinds of good healing medicines.
Mixing the medicinal materials into a pot will quickly speed up recovery and restore vitality.
It is estimated that if he is not injured to death now, he will be exhausted from the loss of energy.
As usual, I touched the body of the two-faced man in silver armor, and found some of the black shell-like currency they used, as well as random sundries, and even found a medium-sized red bellyband.
"There's nothing valuable." Lin Xin stood up, helpless.
Release Inmanto and start to devour all the corpses on the ground. This is regarded as the blood food provided.
Soon the corpses were eaten up. He looked around, jumped up, struck the wind with his palm, disrupting the traces of his kicking, and then floated lightly in the air twice, then turned and swept away into the distance.
After walking through the maple forest for a while, he slowly landed in a woodland, grabbed a handful of healing medicine and drank it, preparing to meditate and adjust his breathing to recuperate.
He has discovered that the time here is out of sync with reality. Here, in the dark residence, the flow rate of time is one-third of the speed back to reality, while at the beginning, when he was in Noodle Man, it seemed to be one-half.
If you spend more time here, you can save a lot in reality.
So now he can stay as long as he can. Try to make full use of this time difference.
Gulu.
Suddenly he heard a very clear sound of drinking coming from beside him.
Lin Xin was shocked. With his current state, the second level of Qi training, he didn't even notice anyone around him.
Turning his head suddenly, he saw a man in black with long hair and a robe sitting under a big tree in the maple forest.
The man was holding a black gourd wine flask in his hand, and he was pouring it into his mouth with his drunken eyes. (To be continued...)
