In a pine forest in the middle of the mountain, white clouds and mist linger, and tall trees rise straight into the sky.
The sun hit the trunks of some pine trees, divided by leaves into patches of yellow-gray.
In the dense forest, a young man in his twenties, wearing a pale yellow Taoist robe, was standing by the trunk of a big pine tree, holding his breath. He was holding a long sword upside down in his hand, as if he had come to practice the sword.
From time to time in the distance, the sound of other disciples practicing swords in the morning. The man remained silent, as if he was waiting for something.
Time passed slowly, about ten minutes passed.
A green shadow lightly swept over from the left side of the man, but it was a young girl wearing a white feather flower. The girl has waist-length hair, fair and delicate skin, and looks very young.
"Brother Lin Xin." As soon as the girl saw the man, she called out with a little ease.
"Here we come, Junior Sister Cheng." The man opened his eyes, turned to look at the other party, and also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I've been waiting for you for half a year, if you don't come out again, I thought you died somewhere?" Cheng Ruofei landed beside Lin Xin and laughed in a low voice.
"How is it possible? Didn't I just come out after retreating?" Lin Xin shook his head, "Are you ready for the previous agreement?"
"Of course. Isn't it the combination of arrays?" Cheng Ruofei's mouth curled up, and a booklet suddenly appeared in his hand, "Brother Lin, you don't want people to discover the secret of your array combination, you can use a kind of paint recorded above Painted on the long sword, it can perfectly cover the formation talisman. At least no one can see through it below the foundation establishment stage."
"Good stuff." Lin Xin's eyes lit up, and what he was worried about was the formation symbol.
"By the way, how did you know that I was using an array weapon?" He smiled, and then asked as if nothing had happened. But his eyes couldn't help staring at Cheng Ruofei.
This question is very important to him. His formation talent can be disclosed as a talent, but it must not be now.
"This is a formation that I just learned for a while. It was originally used to test my talent and see what field I like to be good at." Cheng Ruofei is very smart, and naturally saw Lin Xin's nervousness, and immediately answered easily. "It's really troublesome that the runes are hard to hide, but this time with this paint, I don't think I need to worry about this problem anymore."
"Indeed..." Lin Xin's face softened slightly, it was because he was thinking too much.
If the other party finds his array, at most he will think that he found it from other places, not made it by himself. After all, it takes only a few days to make an ultra-miniature array and combine the array. Such a thing is absolutely shocking to hear. This has already surpassed the category of genius, even calling him a monster would be polite.
"In addition, the second one is the compensation for getting that thing. Brother Lin can choose it himself." Cheng Ruofei seemed to be a lot more lively and cute this time. She has a natural baby face. Like, although not very beautiful, but very cute.
"What choice?" Lin Xin was a little curious.
"The Wuyan swordsmanship, together with the small Yanyang formation weapon, is naturally much more powerful than the general Wuyan swordsmanship. Although I don't know how Brother Lin got your formation weapon, it must be at least a master-level work. , Such things are hard to come by, once used for a long time, the power of damage will be weakened, so...."
Cheng Ruofei smiled slightly.
"A recipe for array maintenance oil, or... a new set of evil-slaying swordsmanship. It can be used in conjunction with arrays. It can be regarded as a second-level swordsmanship, which is one level stronger than basic first-level swordsmanship such as the Pine Forest swordsmanship. Lin Brother, which one do you choose?"
Lin Xin sighed, Cheng Ruofei is worthy of being the daughter of Da Sima, and the mobilization of resources behind it is really powerful.
There are many kinds of swordsmanship of the Pine Forest Sword School, all kinds of strange things, but they all cost money to buy. A set of second-level swordsmanship is suitable for the second-level Xiaogui Yuanjue to exert its full strength, and it is worth thousands of jade coins. Coupled with the rare evil-breaking attribute, it is possible to double the price several times.
You must know that the attribute of breaking evil can play a vital role in certain situations.
In this way, the price Cheng Ruofei and the others spent in exchange for a drop of Yin Blood may be close to 30,000 jade coins, which is an extremely huge sum.
That is equivalent to three million taels of silver, which is close to priceless to ordinary people, and they may not be able to afford it in a few lifetimes.
"This is the maximum we can ask our father's family to give..." Cheng Ruofei put away her smile and said seriously.
"Very sincere." Lin Xin was also very satisfied, "I choose the formula of array maintenance oil."
He took out the last drop of Yinxue 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 up again. I wonder what mission Brother Lin plans to take on? Why don't we work together again?" Cheng Ruofei suggested.
"I'm afraid not." Lin Xin shook his head slightly. "I plan to do some simple missions at random to experience it. In addition, I am also very interested in the formations on the player. I plan to learn the formations while doing missions."
A trace of regret flashed in Cheng Ruofei's eyes.
"Unfortunately, Yue'er and I are going to Xiaoyao Mountain to collect Lin Luohua. This task is a bit difficult and takes a long time, but it can be completed at one time to cover many tasks. It would be great if Brother Lin would join us. You Don't worry, it's absolutely safe this time."
Lin Xin understood, obviously the two women had learned from the previous experience, and this time they must have mobilized their family relationships and hired experts to help.
In fact, someone took care of him last time, that is, Kong Yuhui, but he didn't expect that kind of situation to happen. If it weren't for Lin Xin, it is estimated that the two girls would have died in the mission, and they would have been pushed to the ghosts in the town.
"It's really a pity... But there will still be opportunities to be together in the future." Lin Xin replied with a smile.
"That's right." Cheng Ruofei nodded, and looked at Lin Xinlai carefully. She could only see that the other party was definitely more than one level, but the specific internal energy at the grassroots level was not clear.
"Brother Kong has now successfully broken through the fourth floor and advanced to Xiantian. When he broke through, he even looked for you, but seeing that you are also retreating, he didn't bother you. Now he took a task and went back to the Peacock Gate. Maybe it will take a few more Come back in a month."
"I also forgot, and said to find him within two months..." Lin Xin laughed dumbfounded.
Standing in the pine forest, the two chatted casually about the recent situation. Cheng Ruofei mentioned that they could go to her stone house to find her at any time, and they separated.
Lin Xin faintly 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 about it too much. After leaving the customs, the first thing to do was to adapt to the Xiaogui Yuan Jue on the third floor.
The current him is much faster than when he was at the first level, both in terms of explosive power and speed. Once the internal force is urged, the speed reaction and lethality of the whole person will be doubled!
If you don't get used to it, not only will your strength not improve, but there will be flaws that shouldn't exist in your swordsmanship, and your strength will decline.
After bidding farewell to Cheng Ruofei, Lin Xin walked into the depths of the forest, found a random place with an old stone pavilion beside it, drew out his sword, and began to practice slowly.
Under the urging of internal force, his body reaction, strength, and speed have all improved to a new level.
If he could see a silver snake when he used his sword, now he can only see a silver phantom with his sword skills.
Even without the Yanyang Talisman Sword, he can still face Kong Yuhui and Ouyang Qing head-on for a while without losing the wind. As long as the two of them don't have to work hard to press the bottom of the box, their strength will be similar to his.
Only now did he truly understand how powerful the Yanyang Talisman Sword is.
Back then Zhou Jing had already entered the innate level. Unprepared, he was injured by an explosion. Although he did not die, he would not be able to breathe for a while and was killed by Kong Yuhui. And Ouyang Qing on the third floor used the green poison finger, and was defeated and severely injured by the frontal defeat.
Lin Xin felt the conversion by himself, and 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 will also consume most of his inner energy at the first level.
"The Yanyang Talisman Sword is still my strongest move, but if I can cooperate with the Wuyan swordsmanship they mentioned, it may be more powerful. Now I have enough internal energy to support the full power of three swords in a row. Yanyang Talisman Sword."
Lin Xin carefully felt his current state. At the first floor, his total internal energy was only enough to swing the Yanyang Talisman Sword with all his strength, which is of course the most powerful.
And now it has been increased to three swords.
Familiar with and adapt to his current strength, Lin Xin obviously feels that his hole cards need to be strengthened. If he goes on missions now, it doesn't matter if he is a low-level one, but for missions of the same level, he is likely to encounter innate-level opponents.
In this way, the lack of innate lethality of the Yanyang Talisman Sword is highlighted, and it has little effect. It's just a bit stronger than his ordinary move of three layers of inner energy explosion.
Obviously, the power of the Little Yanyang Formation has reached an upper limit.
"Wuyan swordsmanship... and a new formation... It seems that I have to go to the sword hall to teach Falin."
The six main halls of the Pine Forest Sword Sect are not located on one mountain peak, but on six mountain peaks, and the six peaks are connected to form a mountain range.
In addition to the Tingjian Valley next to the Sixth Miscellaneous Hall, it becomes the entire Songlin Sword Sect sect.
And from Tingjian Valley to Chuanfalin in Jiantang, it takes half a day to get there...
Foot of Jiantang Peak
early morning.
Under the crooked green forest, there is a wet marsh wetland, puddles and aquatic plants are mixed together, slightly swaying with the ripples of the wind blowing water.
Large expanses of green trees seem to grow from swampy wetlands.
A large cluster of small white and purple-heart flowers grows on the edge of a thick and thin tree surrounded by countless people. The flowers are slender and thin, attracting a few black bees to fly around.
Opposite the flowers is a three-story yellow wooden attic.
The attic is divided into two buildings, the front is a shorter auxiliary building, and the back is a taller main building. There is a plaque hanging on the archway entering the building, which reads: Chuan Falin.
The three big characters are well-proportioned, but imply a vigorous stroke, as if carved in with a sharp weapon.
Beside the white flowers, a group of young disciples of Tingjian Valley were in a state of confusion. Dozens of them huddled together on the small field next to the big tree, all looking in the direction of the attic.
