Chapter 258: Steady Development

Taking the rusty, broken sword from the hands of the Guai Shen Yi Gui, Lin Feng began to carefully observe the condition of the sword.

The moment he grasped the sword, Lin Feng felt a coldness so intense it was extreme. There was no doubt that the essence of this sword belonged to the same category as Ghost Weapons.

It was just that its power was far greater than that of a top-grade Ghost Weapon; they were completely two different levels of things.

After all, this broken sword could easily tear apart a Saint's body, something ordinary top-grade Ghost Weapons could never achieve.

Besides this, the sword also possessed its own consciousness, only now this consciousness had been successfully distorted and changed by the Shuzhuan Gui.

"This is definitely a God-Man weapon, and one of the type with extremely strong killing ability!"

"There are indeed many good things scattered in those forbidden lands of the Yinjian, whether it's the Dharma Bones of Yin Gods or this broken sword. Perhaps I should focus my exploration on those forbidden lands from now on..."

Feeling the power contained within this broken sword, Lin Feng became even more expectant about other parts of the Yinjian.

Currently, the prerequisites for him to dare to explore the various dangerous areas of the Yinjian were basically all coming together!

In terms of attack power, with the addition of this broken sword, he would become even more powerful. At the same time, his second Statue Array was nearing completion, and he would soon be able to gather the strength of ten thousand troops to form a buffing effect on himself. Additionally, the strength of the ghosts in his hands was also gradually improving.

Whether it was the Shuangzi Gui or the Shuzhuan Gui, they could all play a huge role in his exploration of the Yinjian; it just depended on what he would encounter next.

"With this sword, I can also practice the 'Ten Thousand Swords Facing the Ancestor' well, so that I can maximize the power of this sword."

Now that he had completely subdued this sword, Lin Feng naturally thought of another trump card in his hand.

That was the other peerless martial art he had harvested from the two Corpse Kings, a set of 'Ten Thousand Swords Facing the Ancestor' that was no less powerful than the 'Heaven-Shaking Horned Dragon Staff'.

If he combined this sword technique with the sword in his hand, the Heaven and Earth power he could ultimately trigger would surely reach a terrifying level!

"With this sword technique and this sword, if I add the amplification of the Statue Array, then even if I face a God-Man, I have the confidence to fight!"

Having made this decision, Lin Feng put the sword away and immediately ordered the workshop that forged Ghost Weapons to forge a Ghost Iron longsword specifically for practice.

After all, he couldn't practice with that broken sword from the start; if he wasn't careful and destroyed the surroundings, that wouldn't be good.

After arranging everything, Lin Feng took back the Xi Gui, Tanshi Gui, and Guai Shen Yi Gui, and then released the Tou Gui and Shuangzi Gui.

From today on, he would have them attend class together, teaching them to learn to speak and write.

Compared to the Tou Gui, who was already familiar with the process, the Shuangzi Gui were clearly still a bit bewildered. Although Lin Feng had the Tou Gui teach them some common words yesterday, the time had been too short, and the sisters had not fully mastered them.

"Today, I will review some of the words I taught before. If there is anything you don't understand, ask me immediately."

"Since this is your first time learning, you must listen carefully. I will slow down for the difficult words."

Standing on the podium in the schoolhouse, Lin Feng began to tell them the content of today's study.

"Mas-Master, I have already learned them all!"

Hearing Lin Feng say this, the Tou Gui immediately said to Lin Feng with a face full of joy, the happy expression looking as if it were waiting for Lin Feng's praise.

"Hmm, very good! But even if you've learned them, you must review. As the saying goes, 'reviewing the old leads to understanding the new.' Re-learning content you have already mastered allows us to notice things we might have ignored or didn't understand at the beginning..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng first praised it, then explained the use of review to them.

Soon, the new teaching officially began. With the lead of the Tou Gui, this class went much more smoothly. The Shuangzi Gui, who didn't speak much, also began to follow along and speak stutteringly under the Tou Gui's lead.

A few hours later, today's teaching content was completed. The Tou Gui now had basically no problems speaking, and the Shuangzi Gui could also speak some simple words stutteringly.

Lin Feng was quite satisfied with this result. After all, the time was short, and he had enough confidence to teach the thinking level of these three ghosts to that of normal people in the next month or so.

As for whether they could eventually surpass ordinary people and become clever individuals, that was hard to say. Besides continuing to use corpse oil candles, he also needed to teach them various other types of knowledge, which was not something that could be explained in a few words.

After the class, Lin Feng took out the Ghost Iron statue and had the Shuangzi Gui merge into it. Then, the Ghost Iron statue entered the Yinjian military camp through the Ghost Gate.

Currently, the construction task of the Ghost-Suppressing Tower was in full swing, but the top priority now was to deal with those captured barbarian soldiers.

At this time, these barbarian soldiers were all being guarded by the Zhiren army. The best choice to make them listen obediently was to directly use the power of the Shuzhuan Gui to change their perception.

As the Ghost Iron statue arrived here, the Zhiren army knelt and saluted him instantly, then directly opened a passage so that Lin Feng could act directly.

This time, Lin Feng did not choose to use the Black Jade Dark Gold Talisman, or perhaps because the Shuzhuan Gui had just advanced, Lin Feng had not yet prepared the Black Jade Dark Gold Talisman that belonged to it.

Seeing a Ghost Gate opened, the Shuzhuan Gui appeared directly in the drill ground. Then, the Shuzhuan Gui immediately began to act, and a large number of scarlet ancient seal characters were written into shape out of thin air. Then, these blood seal characters began to fly toward every barbarian soldier.

Throughout the process, it was not that these barbarian soldiers did not want to resist or escape, but unfortunately, facing a Calamity Ghost and the terrifying Zhiren army guarding the surroundings, these people were simply fish on a chopping block.

Soon, the will of the barbarian soldiers imprinted with blood-red ancient seal characters began to be distorted. One by one, they looked at the Ghost Iron statue and knelt down to kowtow, shouting "Wulu" in their mouths!

"Wulu" meant Ancestral Saint. The Shuzhuan Gui directly replaced the image of the Barbarian Ancestral Saint in their memories with the image of the Ghost Iron statue.

Subsequently, Lin Feng directly ordered them to assist the Corpse-Driving Craftsmen in building the Ghost-Suppressing Tower. These strong, prime-aged barbarian soldiers could be considered top-tier labor; not making good use of them would be a disservice to their excellent physiques.

Having easily solved this matter, Lin Feng began to ponder the situation in other parts of the military camp.

When he arrived in front of the pottery workshop, several Yin-Walkers ran to him excitedly, bowed, and reported: "My Lord! Success! Success!"

"We have not failed your expectations and have made the first batch of Yinjian Soil pottery bowls!"

At this time, they held several gray-looking pottery bowls in their hands and came to the Ghost Iron statue to report the good news to Lin Feng.

"Hmm."

Taking these Yinjian Soil pottery bowls from their hands, Lin Feng began to examine them carefully.

These newly fired Yinjian Soil pottery bowls still carried a warmth; it was clear they had been brought to Lin Feng as soon as they were taken out.

"Well done. Continue to fire more Yinjian Soil pottery bowls. Once you have accumulated enough to one hundred, I will reward you all for your merits together!"

Confirming that there was nothing wrong with these Yinjian Soil pottery bowls, Lin Feng nodded quite satisfactorily toward them.

"Yes! Thank you, My Lord!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, these young Yin-Walkers were instantly overjoyed. The most difficult part of making Yinjian Soil pottery bowls was collecting the raw materials. Now, they basically didn't need to go out to collect them; all they had to do was make the pottery according to Gongyang Quan's guidance.

It could be said that this was a completely free merit! ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
