Seeing Zhao Lin's firm expression, Manager Hu did not continue to persuade him, but said, "In that case, please bring out the body-illuminating stone and jade slips, brother Zhao."
As usual, he took out the Xingyuan pen and recorded the mission on Zhao Lin's body stone: In November of the Guimao year, Zhao Lin received the mission of collecting spiritual beads from Chiwei Island, Guizi No. 6 white level...
Then copy the task details into the jade slip and give them to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Hu." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Manager Hu looked at Zhao Lin's back and murmured to himself: "I'm really eager for quick success. I wish my brother all the best!"
Zhao Lin went straight back to the Spiritual Dao Temple, found Elder Nie, and told him that he was going out on a mission.
This time Elder Nie didn't mean to stop him, he just asked casually: "What mission?"
Zhao Lin answered truthfully: "Go to Chiwei Island to collect spirit beads."
Elder Nie was stunned, "Chiwei Island? Is that the island near the East China Sea?"
Zhao Lin nodded, "Exactly."
Elder Nie frowned and his face darkened.
"What level is this mission?"
"White Level."
"Do you know that the mission is dangerous?"
"Know."
Elder Nie's eyelids twitched twice and he said coldly: "I may not know about other tasks, but this one is very clear."
"The Diyin Sect is an island sect that specializes in water-based magic. Are you going to kill these people if you strangle them underwater?"
After saying that, Huo Ran stood up and said in a stern voice: "Didn't Ho Chi Minh tell you this? This is simply misleading!"
Hu Zhiming is Hu Guanshi of Shanggong Hall. Zhao Lin quickly said: "But Guanshi Hu said that."
"So you know everything? Then why do you still want to take this mission?"
Elder Nie asked repeatedly, "Although you are good at fighting on land, it is completely different underwater. Except for water spells, all spells will be restricted."
"For example, the power of your flaming arrows underwater is only one-third of its original value at most. How can you compete with the underground and dark sect monks?"
Zhao Lin knew that Elder Nie was doing it for his own good, so he explained seriously: "This disciple also knows the spirit sword technique, and the ice magic is basically unaffected underwater. Moreover, the rock armor technique is an earth magic and can restrain water attacks."
"You think it's too simple!"
Elder Nie sneered, "Underwater fighting is completely different from that on land. The sea is very windy and the waves are strong, and if you have little water-bending skills, you won't be able to maintain stability at all."
"In addition to facing water swordsmanship, there are also water arrows, waterfalls, water spears, waterspouts, wave attacks, and undercurrents...can you handle it?"
"To be honest, our Chenghua Sect is definitely better than the Earthly Dark Sect in other spells, but the water spell is inferior. In recent years, judging from the results of the battles between the two sides, we are also being suppressed!"
"I reluctantly agreed to the last mission because it was an internal mission within the sect and I faced the disciples of my sect."
"But this time is different. No matter how many wild goose talismans you release, no one will come to save you. Your death will be in vain."
Zhao Lin was silent for a moment, knowing that Elder Nie would never let him go unless he showed some ability, so he said: "Elder, please know that this disciple has mastered the water-bending technique to a small degree."
"What?"
Elder Nie looked incredulous, "How is that possible? Didn't you practice the Ice Blade Technique, the Rock Armor Technique, and the Flaming Arrow Technique?"
After practicing Taoism for two years, three spells have reached the minor level. He is already an unparalleled magic genius. Why is there another minor spell?
Zhao Lin explained: "This disciple has water spiritual roots and has been practicing this way for the past six months."
Elder Nie stared at Zhao Lin, his eyes flickering.
Although it was impossible for Zhao Lin to lie to himself about this kind of thing, he still couldn't believe it and said in a deep voice: "Show me how to use it."
"yes."
Zhao Lin responded and quickly walked out of the practice room with Elder Nie.
Not long after, the two came to Qingyi Lake at the foot of Guangze Peak.
The lake is deep, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green trees, and is as quiet as a painting.
Zhao Lin bowed and said: "If the disciple's waterbending skills reach the minor level, then please allow the elder to allow the disciple to perform this task."
Elder Nie snorted and said, "Let's talk about it after reading it."
Zhao Lin did not hesitate and jumped into the lake.
When the person is in the air, he uses the water-bending technique with his hands. The water movement quickly gathers spiritual energy, forming a water-shaped circulation around the body.
It enters the water with a "swipe" and sneaks like flying, like a swimming fish.
Zhao Lin has mastered the Dacheng-level waterbending technique, and only uses a small part of his magic power to simulate the level of a Xiaocheng-level as much as possible.
Elder Nie's sharp eyesight was such that he could not only tell at a glance that Zhao Lin's waterbending skills had reached a minor level, but even had some leftover power.
There are specializations in the arts. Most of the monks spend their energy on offensive and defensive spells, or Taoist arts such as alchemy and talisman formations. Few people will study auxiliary spells such as water-bending and earth-bending.
A moment later, Zhao Lin jumped onto the shore without a drop of water on his body.
Elder Nie was speechless for a long time. Thinking that such a disciple would be on a killing mission, he was even more reluctant to let go.
Zhao Lin figured out Elder Nie's thoughts and said calmly: "In the battle of the great road, there is no way to retreat. This disciple knows that this trip is dangerous."
"But practicing Taoism has always been difficult, and it is impossible not to take risks at all. Especially as disciples are martial arts cultivators, they should move forward without fear."
"Elder, please allow this disciple to perform the mission!"
Elder Nie said quietly: "You have such talent, you can practice for a few more years, and then go to Chiwei Island when you are more confident."
Zhao Lindao: "If the disciple had not performed the mission of the Yin Wind Realm, he would definitely still be wandering on the third level of Qi Refining. Nothing can be completely sure, and the disciple will be careful."
Elder Nie pondered for a long time, finally sighed, and said helplessly: "That's all, you must be careful on this trip. After entering the sea, try to stay as close to the boat and the shore as possible. If you encounter danger, get on the boat in time. Remember?"
"remember!"
Zhao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Elder, don't worry, this disciple is not a reckless person."
Elder Nie thought for a moment and said, "Gan Xing who is stationed at Chiwei Island is an old friend of mine. I will send a message via airmail asking him to take care of you."
Zhao Lin said gratefully: "Thank you very much, elder. I will definitely keep you useful."
…
After being allowed to travel, Zhao Lin did not rush to leave, but spent a few days preparing.
On the one hand, I read relevant books in the library to learn all the details of the monsters in the sea, especially the methods of dealing with clam monsters and shell monsters.
On the other hand, learn the secrets of water fighting from Brother Chuan Gong, who is proficient in water magic.
As Elder Nie said, water warfare is different from land warfare. Spells will undergo changes such as deformation, deviation, slowness, attenuation, etc. in the water.
Without practice, various problems can easily occur and your combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.
Zhao Lin only knows one water-based water-bending technique, and his attacks still rely on ice sword techniques and thunder blade techniques.
He continued to practice these two spells underwater until he mastered their habits and trajectories. (End of chapter)
