Chapter 326

Wu Lingshi also came, bringing silver and gifts.

This was the reward for going to Jinping County to eliminate demons.

This person was also cunning. It had been nearly two months since Lin Jue returned to the capital, and Lord Luo had been in the courtyard, but he knew Lin Jue was not there, so he hadn't come until now.

And the matter of Jinping County was really too big. Wu Lingshi brought more than a dozen people, and just the silver filled a large box, carried by two people, saying there were two thousand taels. But it was far from just that; such a rich reward could not be paid entirely in silver, so there were many things Lin Jue couldn't use, such as cloth, silk, pearls, jade, fine wine, and wine vessels.

Lin Jue was helpless, but could only accept it.

At least it was enough for the Silver Ghost to eat for another year or more.

……

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the autumn atmosphere was getting stronger.

Lord Luo was practicing with a spear in the courtyard.

The spear he was using at this time was exactly the one used by the Wolf General.

This spear really had mystery, and after being in Lord Luo's hands for a month, the cold Yin qi originally belonging to the wolf demon gradually faded, replaced by the scorching hot blood qi.

So much so that the feeling of this spear had changed.

"Chi!"

Lord Luo thrust the spear into the ground.

Suddenly, the fierce and scorching blood qi was injected into the ground, expanding rapidly.

After one breath—

"Boom!"

The ground in the courtyard actually exploded, mud splashed, grass scraps flew, leaving a pit the size of a washbasin.

"Ying?"

There was still a hole at the foot of the wall nearby, and a gray-headed, dirt-faced white fox suddenly poked out a small head. Sensing the movement on the ground, it poked its head out.

The white fox's eyes were agile. It looked at Lord Luo and was immediately startled.

So Lord Luo could also dig holes!

Then it looked at the hole Lord Luo had poked out, and then looked down at the hole it had dug itself, compared them, and fell into thought.

Suddenly it had an idea.

And in the quiet room next to it, a cup of tea was placed on the desk, emitting a rich tea fragrance. Lin Jue was sitting next to it, holding an ancient book.

"Whoosh……"

Divine Shen Xing Shu, a method of traveling.

There are many methods of traveling in the world, and the principles are different. The simplest and easiest to learn is to increase one's own foot strength. Such spells are mostly methods of divine walking.

There are also many types of divine walking methods: the Dan Ding Sect mostly takes divine walking power from the outside world of heaven and earth, refines it into elixirs, and takes them when needed, called Divine Walking Elixir; the Spiritual Method Sect mostly cultivates divine walking power itself, takes it itself when needed, called Divine Shen Xing Shu; the Talisman Sect mostly borrows divine walking power from gods, seals it in talisman paper, and when needed, boils it in water and applies it to the legs, or sticks the talisman paper on the legs, called Divine Walking Talisman.

This is the Divine Shen Xing Shu.

Beginners increase their foot strength and do not feel tired. When cultivated to a high level, one is as light as a swallow, walking like the wind, traveling a thousand miles a day is not a problem, and those of great ability can tread on water and clouds, walking in the air.

"Isn't this the spell of the Divine Walking Elixir?"

In the Gathering Immortals Mansion, there is a Zhang Gong, whose family has passed down a divine walking spell, and he is an eccentric expert who can travel three thousand miles a day.

Don't look down on this kind of spell just because it can't hurt people or block disasters. In this day and age, this kind of spell has great use.

Zhang Gong has this ability. Even if it is just to deliver letters and bring things for dignitaries, or to bring some information for the imperial court and the frontier, it is enough to have no worries about food and drink, and to be rich and noble. But Zhang Gong has a heart for the people, and usually walks in the most dangerous places, delivering letters and messages for people.

He was previously in the northwest, helping to deal with demons.

Under the introduction of Master Fan, Lin Jue exchanged a Fire Walking spell for this Divine Shen Xing Shu.

Of course, there was also an important reason, which was that Lin Jue had previously gone to Jinping County, eliminated the Wolf General under the Leopard King, and severely injured another demon general. Zhang Gong admired and trusted Lin Jue, and Lin Jue's reputation in the capital was also very good now. Otherwise, in this day and age, not many people would be willing to take their family's ancestral housekeeping skills and exchange them with others.

"As light as a swallow……

"Walking like the wind……"

It was indeed almost the same effect as the Divine Walking Elixir.

Lin Jue pinched the paper page again,

By comparison, the advantage of the Divine Walking Elixir is that it can be used by others, and it does not consume magical power, and it takes effect quickly after eating. The Divine Shen Xing Shu can only be used by oneself, and it will consume magical power. Before cultivating to a high level, one has to slowly gather divine walking power to the legs each time one casts the spell, and it takes a little while to prepare, and the effect is slower than the Divine Walking Elixir.

The advantage of the Divine Shen Xing Shu is that it does not cost materials, does not need to spend effort to refine elixirs, and is more worry-free. Because it uses one's own magical power, as long as the cultivation is not low, the effect is more lasting.

There are indeed some differences.

Lin Jue turned another page.

"Whoosh……"

Small Little Ruyi, one of the Great Little Ruyi.

It was originally an ancient supernatural spell called Great Little Ruyi, which allows the practitioner to become large or small. Later, someone split it into two, divided into Great Little Ruyi and Small Little Ruyi.

Practicing it can make oneself smaller and lighter. The deeper the cultivation, the smaller one can shrink. Beginners can only shrink themselves. When cultivated to a high level, one can use magical power to soak clothes and external objects for a long time. If one can soak them through, clothes and external objects can also shrink accordingly. Beginners have less power after shrinking, but when cultivated to a high level, their power does not decrease.

If one obtains Great Little Ruyi, one can synthesize Great Little Ruyi.

"Small Little Ruyi……"

Lin Jue still pinched the paper page and listened seriously.

Compared with the Divine Shen Xing Shu, using Small Little Ruyi to make oneself smaller and then asking the birds in the mountains to carry oneself to fly seems to be more worry-free and labor-saving.

And Small Little Ruyi also has other wonderful uses.

For example, if one wants to go to a certain place and there is no road to walk and no door to enter, and there is only a small hole, and the Wood Escape Technique cannot be used, one can only make oneself smaller and then walk over.

Or, for example, if one encounters a rainstorm or severe cold in the mountains and has no place to stay and is too lazy to borrow a place to stay, the Divine Shen Xing Shu can only be used to break through and resist, while Small Little Ruyi can make oneself smaller and hide in a tree hole to spend the night, or simply carry a box that can put oneself in.

And Small Little Ruyi can also make some external objects smaller, but it requires long-term sacrifice and soaking, and it can probably only be some personal items.

The advantage of the Divine Shen Xing Shu is that it can be used in fighting spells.

Lin Jue was thinking, and when he glanced, he saw a small gray fox covered in mud walking past the door sneakily.

"Fuyao!"

"！?"

The fox was startled, stopped immediately, and turned to look at him.

"Are you digging holes in the courtyard again?"

"……"

"Hmm?"

"It's not Fuyao's fault. There are mice underneath again." The fox was serious, and the tone was like it wasn't Fuyao, but a bystander who was persuading him, calmly persuading him not to be angry with Fuyao.

Lin Jue stretched his neck and looked into the courtyard:

"Fill them up for me quickly."

"……" The fox's eyes turned, and it said to him, "That was dug by Lord Luo!" "Dug by Lord Luo?"

"Yes! Lord Luo poked it out with a stick!"

"Lord Luo poked it out with a stick?"

"Yes! Lord Luo……"

Before the fox finished speaking, it felt that it suddenly floated up and floated from the door into the room.

Then a hand grabbed the back of its neck.

The fox was honestly held.

"Look at the holes you dug, there are almost three rooms and one hall underneath, and you say this was poked back by Lord Luo with a spear?"

"！?"

The fox was suddenly shocked in its heart—

As expected of a Daoist! Really smart!

=9+Book_Bar

At the same time, Lord Luo heard them talking about himself, and his figure also appeared at the door of the quiet room.

The fox had to look at him weakly.

Lord Luo just smiled and didn't say anything, turned around and went back, continuing to practice with the spear.

The fox took advantage of Lin Jue's lack of preparation, suddenly became smaller, became only the size of an egg, and naturally escaped from Lin Jue's hand. After falling to the ground, it ran away in a flash.

"I'll fill them up~"

A very small voice came from outside the door.

"……"

Lin Jue shook his head and closed the ancient book.

During this period, Qinzhou was relatively peaceful. The Leopard King seemed to be recuperating and did not cause any more trouble. On the other side, the legendary Jun Niangniang Mother of the West was also very low-key, just silently preaching.

And Lin Jue was cultivating the Great Yin-Yang Method, having completely mastered it, and his cultivation was increasing at a much faster speed than before. In addition, he had obtained this Divine Shen Xing Shu and Small Little Ruyi, and twenty-eight new bean soldiers had been completely carved, waiting only to be sacrificed and refined to be able to fight.

He had four main purposes for coming to the capital: Great Yin-Yang Method, stable and clean silver, golden elixir materials, and a place to refine elixirs.

Now the Great Yin-Yang Method had been obtained, stable and clean silver had been continuously obtained, and this residence was not bad. If he didn't fall out with the imperial court and the Gathering Immortals Mansion, he could probably live here forever. At that time, as long as he made good protective arrangements, he could completely refine the golden elixir here.

There are few places in the world with more human energy than the capital.

And there were not many golden elixir materials missing.

Nanshan Stone, North Leopard Spring, East Sea Morning Glow Qi, and even a thousand taels of gold, which he knew where to find and how to find, didn't need to be said. Lin Jue just changed a place to store them. The thousand-year snow lotus didn't need to be said either. Currently, the only ones he had no clue about were Swallow Egg Incense and Earth Spirit Elixir.

Lin Jue thought for a while and decided to ask about Swallow Egg Incense first.

Because as early as when he was on Mount Yishan, he had asked the senior who refuted him what Swallow Egg Incense was. At that time, he had mentioned the capital, which was also a small reason why he came to the capital.

He was now in the capital.

And he felt that there were three people he could ask.

One is the senior who refuted him.

Because he had asked before, it was not easy to arouse suspicion by asking again.

Two is the "Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua" in Qingyan County.

Lin Jue had basically determined that she must have a certain relationship with the real Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, and it was very likely that the relationship was not shallow. And the golden elixir formula he had in his hand was given to him by Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, and Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua was a demon race great sage, a person of great ability. Whether this golden elixir could still make people become immortals today was hard to say for the time being. Anyway, it was of no use to Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua.

Whether it was the golden elixir formula or the golden elixir itself, it had no attraction to her.

Even if the one in Qingyan County was basically not the real Jun Niangniang Jun Niangniang Yao Hua, asking that person about one medicinal material was relatively safe.

Three is the scripture pavilion or Master Fan.

The scripture pavilion might record things about Swallow Egg Incense, but the scripture pavilion was too big, and the books inside were too many and too messy, so it was not easy to find.

Master Fan often went to the scripture pavilion to read books.

"This person……"

The longer Lin Jue spent with him, the more he discovered that although this person had no magical power or supernatural powers, he was extremely knowledgeable under the limitation of a mortal body.

Since the "senior who refuted him" had said that Swallow Egg Incense had appeared in the capital, he might know.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask the senior who refuted him first.

Lin Jue put away the ancient book, got up, and looked left and right.

He simply took an iron pen, walked into the courtyard, and just happened to see the fox digging up a lot of broken soil and fine sand in the courtyard. He wiped it flat, put the iron pen aside, and also took out the divination talisman and placed it on top.

He lit three sticks of incense, inserted them on the side, Lin Jue calmed his mind, and solemnly chanted:

"Please come, Divination Immortal.

"Please come, Divination Immortal Senior.

"Divination Immortal……"

Not long after, a breeze rose in the courtyard.

"Senior, long time no see."

Lord Luo, who was practicing with a spear on the side, saw this and stopped his movements, leaning on the long spear and looking at him.

Only heard him speaking as if to the air:

"Senior really has unique skills. You actually know everything about our affairs in Qinzhou and the capital.

"Truth be told, Senior, why do you think so?

"There is indeed another matter.

"When I was on Mount Yishan before, didn't I ask you about a treasure, Senior, called Swallow Egg Incense? At that time, you even explained to me what it was, Senior, which helped me a lot. This time, I want to ask you again, Senior, where can I find it?"

After a pause, the iron pen suddenly stood up.

Then it wrote on the broken soil with a rustling sound—

"Far as the stars hanging in the nine heavens,

"Near as the bright moon reflecting before the window."

Two lines of words were written very quickly.

With a slap, the iron pen fell to the ground, and the breeze left.

The senior who refuted him was really refreshing when he came and crisp when he left.

Only two people were left, one on the left and one on the right, one lowering his head, one holding a spear, savoring these two lines of poetry. Even under the crabapple tree behind them, there were two blurred and graceful figures, who couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look over.

"Doesn't this mean far away on the horizon and near before the eyes?"

Lord Luo didn't even think about it and said immediately.

Lin Jue also frowned.
