Chapter 279: The new flying sword is complete!

The Jin Hua Wang is the Leopard King. Lin Jue had heard of it, but he was only slightly familiar with Dong Wang Mu and did not understand her.

Lin Jue knew that the Leopard King was very capable and was also quite arrogant in the northwest of Qin Zhou. Lord Luo had long wanted to find him. If the imperial court or the Guanxing Palace sincerely invited Lin Jue to help eliminate demons, just like when Mount Qiyun invited them to help deal with the Corpse Tiger King's subordinate forces, Lin Jue would also be willing.

It was just that the matter of eliminating demons also had to be done according to one's ability.

With preparation, there is no worry; without preparation, there is danger.

Although Lin Jue eliminated the Tu Long Wang, he also knew that with the cultivation and ability of the three of them last year, if they fought head-on, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Tu Long Wang, so they used a plan.

And that Leopard King was even stronger than the Tu Long Wang.

Although Lin Jue had been in the capital for almost two months, he was not staying in the capital to enjoy himself, and not just resting, but was orderly dealing with the things that had accumulated before, and also preparing for the future.

The former included learning new spells, practicing original spells, improving attainments, carving bean soldiers every day, continuously expanding his bean soldier team, and recasting weapons. The latter included searching for the Five Elements Spiritual Method and the Great Yin-Yang Method, and collecting materials for the Golden Core.

These were all improvements to his own cultivation and fighting power.

However, when the old Daoist suddenly talked to him about this today, he always felt that he was ill-intentioned, and coupled with his bad impression of the Guanxing Palace, his tone was not polite, so Lin Jue naturally would not answer him well.

"Jin Hua Wang...

"Dong Wang Mu..."

Lin Jue muttered in his mouth and walked back to the residence.

The handwriting on the wall was gone, having been wiped off by Lord Pan. This Lord Pan seemed to have some cleanliness or obsessive-compulsive disorder and hated the "fox" scribbling in the courtyard very much. If it weren't for Lin Jue, he might have really tried to find a way to remove or drive them out.

Passing through several circular gates and passing the small lake, he happened to meet Lord Pan sitting by the small lake, fishing and thinking.

Lin Jue was already thinking about the Leopard King and Dong Wang Mu, so he asked him: "Does Lord Pan know about the Leopard King in the northwest of Qin Zhou and the Dong Wang Mu in the northeast?"

"Of course I know."

As soon as Lord Pan saw it was him, he stopped his thoughts, even stopped fishing, stood up, saluted him, and answered:

"Although the Wei Shui River does not flow through the northwest of Qin Zhou, the northernmost part is not far from the Leopard King's territory, so I know that it is a very cruel yaoguai, and its cultivation is much higher than that of the Tu Long Wang. It may be that it sensed the changes between heaven and the mortal world just like the Tu Long Wang, and has become more and more arrogant in recent years."

He paused for a moment:

"And that Dong Wang Mu in the northeast direction is not as clear as the Leopard King. I only know that she claims to be the Dong Wang Mu from heaven who descended to the mortal world, built many temples in the local area, gathered believers, and absorbed incense. It is said that those who believe in her can prolong their lives and be free from illness and disaster, and if they are the most loyal believers, they can also be gifted a document called the 'Longevity Order' by her, which can be worn on the body to achieve eternal life, so the incense is very prosperous."

"Eternal life?"

Lin Jue was stunned. Wasn't that exactly what he was asking for?

Could it be that this yaoguai had a special method for prolonging life and achieving eternal life?

"Can she really achieve eternal life?"

"Her sect is called the Longevity Sect, and there are several believers in it who have truly lived from the previous dynasty to the present." Lord Pan said confidently.

"It's actually true?" Lin Jue was a little surprised, "Do you know what the true form of this Dong Wang Mu is?"

"I don't know, and I don't know what her cultivation is, or what abilities she has. Anyway, the Tu Long Wang and the Leopard King are both wary of her and dare not conflict with her." Lord Pan answered truthfully, "There is a rumor that this Dong Wang Mu has already attained the truth and attained the Dao, and is a true demon king."

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Jue muttered to himself and thought to himself.

Regardless of whether the rumor was true or false, that Dong Wang Mu had already attained the truth and attained the Dao, or was still a line away, it was definitely not something he could deal with now.

He did not know what the old Daoist's intentions were.

Lin Jue's heart was very firm, and he was not affected by the old Daoist, deciding to follow his original plan.

That was rational.

"By the way, Lord Pan, I intend to recast my weapons after a while. I need to quench them. I wonder which spring water around the capital has the most spiritual resonance and is most suitable for quenching?"

"Benefactor asking me is asking the right person." Lord Pan said, "Around the capital, the famous mountains are none other than the Western Peak, and the famous water is none other than the Wei Shui. Everything in the world has essence. Gold has golden essence, wood has wood essence, and the Wei Shui River naturally has its own water spiritual essence. Although my authority is lacking, I can come and go freely in the river and know the Wei Shui inside and out. I will just take some for benefactor."

"Will there be any inconvenience?" Lin Jue said.

"Benefactor, don't worry!"

"Then thank you very much."

"I dare not, I dare not."

Lord Pan reached into the fish basket, grabbed a few crucian carp, strung them on a willow branch, and handed them to him.

After Lin Jue brought them back, he boiled a pot of crucian carp and tofu soup, and made a plate of scallion crucian carp, which was today's dinner.

Immediately, he lit a lamp and wrote at night, taking advantage of this night to finish copying the last part of the Five Elements Spiritual Method.

The next morning, he handed it to his junior sister.

After the beginning of the year, there were several sunny days, and the capital had a sense of warming up. The clothes worn by people on the street were also obviously much thinner. Daoist priests like Lin Jue and his junior sister would not be cold, and were not afraid of the cold, so at this time, they naturally only needed to wear a thin Daoist robe, which was comfortable and refreshing.

His junior sister returned to Mount Feng, and Lin Jue went with her, also bringing several jars of pickled vegetables, leaving only Lord Luo in the capital to guard the house.

Mount Feng also had a bit more greenery. The apricot trees transplanted by Lin Jue and his junior sister from other places before the year had already blossomed, which, combined with the Daoist temple and pavilion on the mountain, was quite beautiful.

The two stone horses still stood in front of the iron cable bridge, standing neatly, and their positions seemed to have never changed. Those who didn't know would think they had always been here, but if you looked closely, there were deep hoof prints on the ground.

His junior sister often took a futon and sat cross-legged under the ancient pine in front of the Daoist temple to practice.

The colored fox lay on the branches of the ancient pine and looked down at her.

Now she had begun to practice the Five Elements Spiritual Method.

One of the reasons why Lin Jue accompanied her back was that he didn't know if anything would happen during her practice of the Five Elements Spiritual Method, and if so, he could protect her.

Now it seemed that he was overthinking.

Another purpose was to recast weapons.

Therefore, the sound of ding-dong often rang out in the mountain.

The spiritual gold used for Lin Jue's three long swords and twelve flying swords was very special and not easy to melt, and the golden essence was even harder to melt, so Lin Jue had to use an alchemy furnace to refine it, and let the fox take turns with him to spit spiritual fire to burn it. If his junior sister finished practicing, he would also pull her over to work together.

It couldn't be said that he couldn't do anything about this piece of golden essence, only that he had to grind it with time.

The apricot blossoms withered, and the peach blossoms bloomed.

In the ding-dong sound, the peach blossoms also withered.

Then came the plum blossoms and pear blossoms, blooming one after another, showing them to the Daoist priests in the mountain.

It was about March.

A rain fell in the spring, stirring up mountain mist, accumulating a rolling sea of clouds in front of the Daoist temple, and Mount Feng had long since become a piece of emerald green, with spring everywhere around the Daoist temple.

A female Daoist priest sat cross-legged under a tree.

Lin Jue stood on the edge of the sea of clouds.

In front of him, the sea of clouds was churning, and it was pouring down like a waterfall, and there were more than a dozen flying swords shuttling through it.

Lin Jue's twelve flying swords and three long swords had been recast. Because the molds used were the original flying swords and long swords, the hilts and scabbards of the long swords were also the original ones, so they looked almost no different from the original to the naked eye.

There was a difference when held in the hand.

It could be clearly felt that whether it was the flying swords or the long swords, they were now a bit heavier than before, and the texture was more dense.

Especially after becoming larger.

When they were first made, they were spiritual gold, and after becoming larger, they were not much different from ordinary high-quality swords in the world, but now even after becoming larger, they were still divine weapons.

This was held in the hand.

If they were released from the hand or released by the method of controlling objects, they felt significantly heavier than normal swords.

If he hadn't learned the method of controlling objects, he was afraid that it would still be difficult to drive them with the original spell control.

Lin Jue pointed his finger lightly, and the twelve flying swords lined up in the clouds, like a long dragon, and like a thin line in the sun, shuttling up and down, while the three long swords danced and rotated above, and the sunlight was constantly reflected by the sword blades, bright and sparkling.

Sure enough, after learning the method of controlling objects, not only was his strength improved, but because he saved the chanting, the control was easier, and the flying swords he controlled naturally became more and more flexible.

Lin Jue took out a small bean from his arms.

That piece of golden essence only had this much left.

It was about seven or eight qian.

At this moment, a voice came from behind: "Third Shixiong brother's method of controlling objects really matches the newly forged sword pellets."

Lin Jue looked back and saw that she had stood up from under the pine tree.

"Finished practicing?"

"Finished practicing, and the Yin-Yang mana in my body has completely turned into Five Elements mana." His junior sister said to Lin Jue with a serious expression, and thoughts flashed in her eyes.

She had also read the "Five Elements Annotations" given by Wan Xinrong, but whether it was the detail of the annotations or the specific matters of practice, it was far inferior to the book her senior brother later wrote for her. She didn't know how her senior brother did it, but it just made her feel that her senior brother was exceptionally powerful.

Her senior brother had spent extra effort for this.

Coupled with the dozen flying swords newly forged after adding high-grade golden essence, and the true method of controlling objects, it invisibly put a lot of pressure on her.

Therefore, she was also exceptionally diligent in her practice.

In addition to practice, she was also confused.

Wasn't it said that the Five Elements Spiritual Method was good at fighting? Why did she feel that it was still not as good as her senior brother's flying swords flying all over the sky?

"How is it now?"

Her senior brother's voice interrupted her reverie.

"Oh, I lost some cultivation, but I feel that when I cast Five Elements spells now, it fits my mana in the dark, and the power is about the same as before." His junior sister said and paused, "By the way, I don't know if my talent is more suitable for the Five Elements Spiritual Method or what the reason is, but I feel that the practice speed of the Five Elements Spiritual Method is much faster than the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method."

Lin Jue naturally knew that an important reason for this was that they practiced the Small Yin-Yang Method.

"Have you copied your other two spells?"

"Copied."

"That's good. Now that you have successfully converted to the Five Elements Spiritual Method, I am relieved. For the next period of time, you should practice well on the mountain, consolidate your cultivation, and strive to return to your original cultivation as soon as possible." Lin Jue just stretched out his hand forward and spread it out, and the flying swords lined up and flew back automatically, and the three long swords also rotated and flew into the high sky, then fell down, and when they reached his hand, they had become small beans, "I will take these two spells back to the capital for you."

"Oh! Good!" His junior sister said, "But the peaches on the mountain have borne fruit, and they will be ripe in a month or two."

"I'll come to pick them then."

"I can also carry them over for you."

"We'll see."

Lin Jue thought about it and said again:

"At this time, senior brothers should have received our letters, and the reply letters should have arrived in the capital. I will just take the letters when I return to the capital, and then ask Daoist friend Bai Lu to help bring them over. Remember to pay attention to the sky."

"Got it."

Lin Jue held the handful of beans in his hand and looked at them again and again. For a moment, he was reluctant to put them back in his pocket, so he rubbed them in his hand and walked back to the Daoist temple.

He packed his bags, called the fox, and rode the donkey down the mountain. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
