"Your Majesty, the weapons you want are ready. Do you like them?"
Zhao Lin walked into a blacksmith shop in Yongning City, and the blacksmith showed him several forged weapons.
Ever since he learned about sweeping the mountain, Zhao Lin ordered an iron ruler and two flying axes in the blacksmith shop.
Mountain sweeping is different from Qiucai. It only hunts strange animals and tempers your blood. You can carry weapons.
Before a martial artist reaches the Blood Realm, weapons are still better than bare hands, and they are relatively safe when encountering poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions.
The iron ruler and the flying ax were both weapons that Zhao Lin was used to. He weighed them in his hand and nodded, "Not bad, I'm very satisfied. This is the remaining money."
"Thank you sir..."
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhao Lin walked into a grocery store on the street.
I bought two pairs of nets, one is a sisal fishing net greased with tung oil, and the other is a silk net.
The net can be used for both fishing and bird hunting. Zhao Lin wanted to be prepared and planned to bring it with him when sweeping the mountain. It might come in handy.
Afterwards, we walked to Xuanwu Medicine Hall in Shipai Fang.
Because he often comes here to buy medicine, the waiter already knew Zhao Lin and came up to greet him: "Sir, what do you want to buy this time?"
Zhao Lin said directly: "Same as last time, Leng Zhimu, Mengtouweng, Sheqingye, Horse Tooth Salt, White Hair Root..."
The waiter nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I remember the prescription. Now I will ask the clerk to get the medicine for you..."
After buying the medicinal materials, Zhao Lin came out of the medicine hall and went straight out of the city to Xingyun Mountain.
Return to your residence, take out some of each of the medicinal materials you just bought, put them into a medicine jar and boil them.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the medicinal soup was poured out, just enough to fill a bowl.
Zhao Lin waited for the medicinal soup to cool down, then picked up the bowl and drank it in a few sips.
The medicinal soup entered his throat, and he soon felt a chill slowly spreading from his chest and abdomen.
These medicinal materials are all cold medicinal materials, and they are cold.
Originally, the prescription emphasized the combination of warmth and cold. Drinking the medicine in this way would be harmful to the body.
However, Zhao Lin did not do it to practice martial arts or to maintain his health, but to strengthen the soul of the Ice Silkworm.
It has been half a year since he absorbed the soul of the Ice Silkworm, but Zhao Lin felt that he didn't know enough about this soul.
What's special about this spirit is that it is the first spirit he has absorbed that does not transform his body and only produces a cold breath, which Zhao Lin calls "Ice Qi".
In Zhao Lin's opinion, this is the most suitable spirit for martial arts so far.
It's not even like martial arts, but similar to magic.
When a punch is struck, it is not a point or a line, but a five-foot radius is filled with freezing cold air, and the effect is outstanding.
Zhao Lin specifically inquired about the Tianshuang Fist technique, but it was far less powerful.
It's just that the ice energy is released very slowly, and it has only grown by about half of its original size after so long.
Zhao Lin once conducted an experiment. When he punched an ice punch with all his strength, one-third of the ice energy in his body was consumed. This meant that the ice energy was only enough for him to punch three times.
After resting for half a day, Hanbing Qi returned to its original state and returned to its previous level.
Zhao Lin is not very satisfied with this. According to this accumulation rate, in a few years, he will only be able to punch ten at most, which is completely insufficient.
When you reach the Blood Realm, you face even stronger opponents.
On the day of autumn harvest, if Xiang Shaofeng didn't underestimate the enemy and exerted his full strength of Chi Yan Jin, he would definitely be able to neutralize his ice fist. Then after two or three moves, he would definitely be defeated.
Zhao Lin found it strange that other spirits could produce white mist as long as they ate a large amount of food. If the diet was changed, some spirits would benefit and release more white mist.
The ice silkworm's soul is different. No matter what it eats, it never seems to be able to replenish enough energy. The ice energy it releases is like silk thread, extremely stingy.
"Ice silkworms are also silkworms. Why don't you try some mulberry leaves?"
With this idea in mind, Zhao Lin searched around outside the city and found a wild mulberry forest.
It happened that the weather was getting warmer in spring and the mulberry leaves were sprouting, so he picked the leaves and ate them.
As a result, I ate a belly full of mulberry leaves, which was so painful that I almost vomited out bile, but the ice silkworm's soul remained unchanged at all.
The same goes for decoction and soaking in water.
However, Zhao Lin soon came up with a new idea: the Ice Silkworm is a cold-type insect that was originally discovered in a cold cave. How about trying cold-type medicinal materials again?
Zhao Lin went down the mountain to Xuanwu Hall and bought some cold medicinal materials. After taking them, the spirit of the ice silkworm in the spirit beast picture immediately began to flash, absorbing all the cold energy in the medicinal materials.
Next, the ice energy released by the spirit increased several times faster, and the silver line also changed from one to eight. The amount accumulated in half a month was almost equal to the previous half year.
Zhao Lin was excited and thought that if he had picked the Yin Eclipse Lotus and swallowed it directly instead of handing it over, the effect would have been better. Unfortunately, he didn't know this link at the time.
Fortunately, I have found a way to strengthen the spirit, and one day it will eventually become a tower.
…
The days passed by and it was early April.
Two days before the mountain sweep, Elder Shuijing distributed equipment to his disciples, similar to those used during autumn harvesting. They were also items for survival in the wild such as food bags, water bags, blankets, and warning fireworks.
"The place to sweep the mountain has been selected. It's on Yuanze Mountain, not far from Wuzhi Mountain where we harvested last autumn."
"Don't worry, everyone, the law enforcement elders have already investigated. There are no particularly powerful beasts there. As long as you don't provoke the ferocious beasts that live in groups, just be careful. If you encounter danger, remember to seek help in time..."
Zhao Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Yuanze Mountain". He felt that the name was very familiar.
"Yuanze Mountain, the third peak from the east, deep pool..."
Zhao Lin thought about it for a moment and immediately remembered that he had read this place name in the notes of Tianshui Pavilion. It was the place where a senior of the Xingyun Sect encountered a strange fish that discharged electricity.
It can discharge...a strange beast of thunder type!
Zhao Lin's heart was pounding. He tasted the sweetness from the soul of the ice silkworm, and he had a special liking for the marrow of this strange beast.
It's just...more than a hundred years later, I don't know if the strange fish that can discharge electricity is still alive. Ordinary fish can only live for a few decades at most.
However, after the animal mutates, both its physique and lifespan increase significantly, and it is possible that it is still alive.
No matter what, I must go to the deep pool to find out what it is like during this trip.
If you can obtain the discharge ability of the lightning attribute, you don't have to think about it, it will be extremely powerful.
His main goal now is to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible. If he can get a good ranking in the martial arts competition and get a reward, it will help him cross over to the Yuan realm.
Then in the whole world, I am afraid there will be no rival.
Putting aside immortality, at least no one can threaten his life anymore.
"That strange fish is in the water. You have to think about how to catch it. Once in the water, it is difficult to use martial arts, but water is conductive..."
Zhao Lin remembered the contents of the note and began to plan how to catch the strange fish.
