In a pine forest halfway up the mountain, white clouds and mist lingered, and tall trees soared into the sky.
The sunlight hits the trunks of some pine trees and is divided by the leaves, turning them into yellow-gray patches.
In the dense forest, a young man in his twenties, dressed in a light yellow robe, was standing by the trunk of a large pine tree, concentrating and holding his breath. He was holding a long sword upside down in his hand, as if he was here to practice sword practice.
From time to time, the sound of other disciples practicing their swords in the morning could be heard in the distance. The man remained silent, as if waiting for something.
Time passed slowly, and about ten minutes passed.
A green silhouette gently passed over from the left side of the man, but it was a young girl wearing a white feather flower on her head. The girl had long hair reaching her waist, fair and delicate skin, and she seemed very young.
"Brother Lin Xin." As soon as the girl saw the man, she exclaimed with a hint of relief.
"Here we come, Junior Sister Cheng." The man opened his eyes, turned around and looked at the other person, with a smile on his lips as well.
"After waiting for you for half a year, if you don't come out, I will think you died somewhere?" Cheng Ruofei fell next to Lin Xin and lowered his voice and laughed.
"How is it possible? Didn't I just come out after being in seclusion?" Lin Xin shook his head, "Are you ready for the previous agreement?"
"Of course. Isn't it just the combination of array devices?" Cheng Ruofei's mouth curved, and a booklet suddenly appeared in his hand, "Brother Lin, if you don't want others to discover the secret of your array device combination, you can use the paint recorded above.
If you apply it on the long sword, it can perfectly cover the formation talisman. At least no one can see through it below the foundation stage."
"Good stuff." Lin Xin's eyes lit up, he was worried about the formation talisman.
"By the way, how did you tell that I was using an array device?" He smiled, then pretended to be nonchalant and asked. But his eyes were involuntarily staring at Cheng Ruofei.
This issue is very important to him. His formation talent can be revealed as a talent, but it must not be now.
"This... is a formation that I happened to learn for a while. It was originally used as a test of talent to see what fields I would like to be good at." Cheng Ruofei was very smart, and naturally saw Lin Xin's nervousness, and then immediately
Answered easily. "It's really troublesome that the runes are difficult to hide, but this time with this paint, I don't think I have to worry about this problem anymore."
"Indeed..." Lin Xin's expression softened slightly, it was because he was overthinking it.
When the other party discovers his array, they will most likely think that he found it from other places, rather than making it himself. After all, he can make ultra-miniature arrays and combine arrays with just a few days of exposure.
Such a thing is absolutely shocking to hear. This has gone beyond the scope of genius, even calling him a monster would be polite.
"In addition, the second part is to get that thing as compensation. You can ask Brother Lin to choose for himself." Cheng Ruofei seemed to have become a lot more lively and cute this time. She was born with a baby face. When she narrowed her eyes, she smiled like a crescent moon.
Like, although not very beautiful, but very cute.
"What choice?" Lin Xin was slightly curious.
"The Wuyan Sword Technique, coupled with the Little Yanyang Formation Device, is naturally much more powerful than the ordinary Wuyan Sword Technique. Although I don't know how Brother Lin got your formation device, it must be at least a master-level work.
, such things are hard to come by. Once used for too long, they will be damaged and their power will be weakened, so..."
Cheng Ruofei smiled slightly.
"A recipe for array maintenance oil, or... a new set of evil-breaking sword manuals. It can be used with the array. It is considered a second-level swordsmanship, which is one level better than the basic first-level swordsmanship such as Pine Forest Sword Technique. Lin
Brother, which one do you choose?"
Lin Xin sighed, Cheng Ruofei was worthy of being the daughter of Da Sima, and the mobilization of resources behind this was really powerful.
The Songlin Sword Sect has a lot of swordsmanship, various types, and all kinds of strange things, but they all cost money to buy. A set of second-level swordsmanship, suitable for the second-level Xiao Guiyuan Jue to unleash its full strength, is worth thousands of jade coins.
Coupled with the rare evil-destroying properties, it is possible for the price to increase several times.
You must know that the evil-breaking attribute can play a vital role in certain situations.
In this way, the price Cheng Ruofei and his wife spent in exchange for a drop of Yin blood may be close to 30,000 jade coins, which is an extremely huge amount.
That is equivalent to three million taels of silver. For ordinary mortals, it is close to priceless. They may not be able to afford it in their lifetimes.
"This is the maximum we can offer to our father's family..." Cheng Ruofei put away her smile and said seriously.
"Very sincere." Lin Xin was also very satisfied, "I chose the recipe for array maintenance oil."
He took out the last drop of the Yin Blood porcelain bottle and handed it over.
Cheng Ruofei also handed him the booklet.
Both of them were satisfied when they got what they wanted.
"The six-month mission deadline is coming again. I wonder what mission Brother Lin plans to take on? Why don't we do it together again?" Cheng Ruofei suggested.
"I'm afraid not." Lin Xin shook his head slightly. "I plan to take on some simple missions to practice. In addition, I am also very interested in the formations on the battle device. I plan to learn the formation while doing missions."
A trace of regret flashed slightly in Cheng Ruofei's eyes.
"Unfortunately, Yue'er and I are planning to go to Xiaoyao Mountain to collect fallen flowers. This task is a bit difficult and takes a long time, but it can be completed in one go. It would be great if you could come with us, Brother Lin. You
Don’t worry, it’s absolutely safe this time.”
Lin Xin understood that the two women had obviously learned from the experience last time. This time they must have mobilized their family relationships and found experts to help.
There was actually someone taking care of them last time, it was Kong Yuhui, but I didn't expect that situation would happen. If it weren't for Lin Xin, both women would have died in the mission, and would have been pushed to the evil spirits in the town.
"It's indeed a pity...but we will still have the opportunity to be together in the future." Lin Xin replied with a smile.
"Yes." Cheng Ruofei nodded and looked at Lin Xinlai carefully. He could only tell that the other party was definitely more than one level, but the specific internal energy of the grassroots was unclear.
"Senior Brother Kong has now successfully broken through the fourth level and advanced to Xiantian. He even looked for you when he came out, but seeing that you were also in retreat, he didn't bother you. Now he has taken a mission and returned to the Peacock Gate. Maybe it will take a few more days.
I’ll be back in a month.”
"I forgot, and I said I would go find him within two months..." Lin Xin laughed dumbly.
The two stood in the pine forest and chatted casually about the recent situation. Cheng Ruofei mentioned that he could go to her stone house to find her at any time, and then they parted ways.
Lin Xin vaguely felt that this girl seemed to be a little strange to him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.
He didn't think too much about it. The first thing he had to do after coming out of seclusion was to adapt to the third-level Xiao Guiyuan Jue.
Now he is much faster than when he was at the first level, both in terms of explosive strength and speed. Once he activates his internal energy, his speed and reaction lethality will be doubled!
If you don't adapt, not only will your strength not improve, but flaws in your swordsmanship that shouldn't exist will appear, resulting in a decline in strength.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Ruofei, Lin Xin walked deep into the forest and found a random place. There was a dilapidated stone pavilion next to it. He drew his sword directly and began to practice sword practice slowly.
Under the stimulation of internal energy, his body's reaction, strength, and speed were all improved to a new level.
If he could see a silver snake when he drew his sword, now he can only see a silver phantom when using his sword.
Even without the Yanyang Talisman Sword, he can still face off against Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing for a while without falling behind. As long as the two of them don't have to exert too much effort, their strength is about the same as him.
Only now did he truly understand how powerful the Yanyang Talisman Sword was.
At that time, Zhou Jing had completely entered the innate level. Without any precautions, he was actually injured by the explosion. Although he was not fatal, he was unable to breathe for a while and was killed by Kong Yuhui. As for Ouyang Qing, who was on the third level.
He used Green Poison Finger, but was defeated and severely wounded.
Lin Xin made some calculations based on his own experience. The Yanyang Talisman Sword exploded with all its strength, which was roughly equivalent to the power of the inner energy below the fourth level and above the third level.
But that sword would also consume most of his inner energy at level one.
"The Yanyang Talisman Sword is still my strongest move, but if it can be combined with the Flameless Sword Technique they mentioned, it may be even more powerful. Now, my internal energy is enough to support the full power of three swords in a row.
Yanyang Talisman Sword."
Lin Xin carefully felt his current state. At the first level, his total internal energy was only enough to wield the Yanyang Talisman Sword with all his strength, which was of course the most powerful one.
And now it has been increased to three swords.
After getting familiar with and adapting to his current strength, Lin Xin obviously felt that his trump card needed to be strengthened. If he went on missions now, it wouldn't matter if he was at a lower level, but for missions of the same level, he would most likely encounter innate-level opponents.
In this way, the innate lethality of the Yanyang Talisman Sword is highlighted, and it has little effect. It is just a bit stronger than his ordinary move of bursting out three layers of inner energy.
Obviously, the power of the Little Yanyang Formation has reached its upper limit.
"Wu Yan Sword Technique... There are also new formations... It seems that I have to go to the sword hall to teach the magic forest."
The six halls of the Songlin Sword Sect are not on one mountain peak, but on six peaks. The six peaks are connected and form a mountain range.
Coupled with the Tingjian Valley next to the Sixth Zatang, it becomes the entire Songlin Sword Sect.
And it takes half a day to walk from Tingjian Valley to Jiantang Chuanfa Forest...
*****************
The foot of Kendang Peak
early morning.
Under the winding green woods, there is a wet swamp wetland, with puddles and water plants mixed together, swaying slightly with the ripples of water blown by the wind.
Large expanses of green trees seem to be growing out of swamps.
Beside a large tree that could be surrounded by several people, there was a large cluster of small white flowers with purple hearts. The flowers were slender and thin, attracting a few black bees to fly around.
Opposite the flowers is a three-story yellow wooden loft.
The attic is divided into two buildings, with the shorter auxiliary building in front and the taller main building in the back. There is a plaque hanging on the archway when entering the building, which reads: Chuanfa Lin.
The three large characters are neat and orderly, but they imply strong and sharp strokes, as if they were carved with a sharp tool.
Beside the white flowers, a group of young disciples from Listening to Sword Valley were a little confused. Dozens of them were huddled on a small patch of ground beside the big tree, all looking in the direction of the attic.
