Chapter 255 Arrival in the Capital The grassland had turned golden when we arrived. Several people found a good place—— It was a big tree with lush branches and leaves. The ground under the tree was covered with yellow leaves, forming a natural carpet. Several people cleared the fallen leaves to make a space and started a fire to cook on the spot. Although there were no pots and bowls, there was no shortage of seasonings. There was a small river nearby, so it was convenient to get water. The chicken bought from the farmer was smeared with seasoning, and a handful of wild sand onions were stuffed into its stomach. The chicken was then wrapped with large leaves, tied up with some wild grass, and then rolled into a ball with wet mud and thrown into the fire. The fox stared at it without blinking, and it thought the oval mud ball in the fire looked like an egg. The other egg pancakes are roasted on the edge of the flame. The junior sister then took out the things she had obtained from the Qinshan Grandmaster and examined them carefully. There is a small bottle with white and gold patterns, which is very beautiful and exquisite. There are several pieces of gold jewelry that are quite exotic.
There is also the seal on Lin Jue's body. "Brother, what is this?" The junior sister showed the bottle to Lin Jue. "and many more." Lin Jue first went to the river to wash his hands and dried them on his body, then sat back by the fire and took the small bottle. The bottle felt cool to the touch, and made a noise when shaken. It had a stopper with a simple seal. No one knows how to break the seal, but the Taoist has his own brute force. Hold the bottle with one hand and squeeze the cork with the other, exerting force. "Boom~" A spiritual essence emanated, transforming into an alluring fragrance. “The essence of heaven and earth…” Lin Jue was an alchemist, so he naturally recognized it. At the same time, he could vaguely feel that the bottle seemed to be absorbing the spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth at an extremely slow speed, gathering it in the bottle and condensing it into essence. This does not require human control. "interesting." Although Lin Jue can now collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into essence, this is the result of his painstaking practice of the collection method, and it takes some mental effort to collect it. This bottle can actually collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into essence. Although the speed is slower, you don't have to worry about it. It seems a bit like the bottle in the hands of the mountain lord on Hammer Mountain back then. That bottle seems to be able to automatically collect yin and yang spiritual energy and condense it into the essence of the sun and the moon. Unfortunately, both of them were practicing Yin-Yang spiritual magic. Although this thing was useful, it was not as suitable as the one in the hands of the mountain lord of Hammer Mountain.
It is completely useless to Lin Jue. Lin Jue knows how to pick them himself, and he is faster than this. “This thing can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by itself, gather it in the bottle, and condense it into essence. Perhaps it is one of the important means used by Qinshan Ancestor to gather believers.” "Absorb it yourself?" The junior sister also instantly realized its preciousness. "Yes, it is a rare and good thing." Lin Jue said, pausing for a moment, "But Junior Sister is practicing Yin-Yang Spiritual Technique. Although the essence of heaven and earth has benefits, it is still a bit of a waste. Junior Sister has me. I will collect spiritual energy for Junior Sister, purify the essence, and refine pills. You took this, but you are just using the spiritual liquid to water the flowers and trees. In comparison, it is more suitable for Luo Gong." "Ok?" Luo Seng turned his head. "Don't underestimate this bottle, Lord Luo. It's very likely that the Qinshan Ancestor relied on the essence of heaven and earth condensed in this bottle to bestow upon her followers, and that's how she was able to gather so many loyal followers. Lord Luo, didn't you notice that most of her yellow-robed guards are very skilled and strong." "Found." "That may be the reason. Moreover, this bottle is a rare magical tool that can be used without mana, and it can also contain the essence of heaven and earth." Lin Jue paused: "Although drinking the essence of heaven and earth by ordinary people would result in a lot of waste and limited use, but Lord Luo has practiced martial arts for many years and has profound martial arts skills. If he had this bottle, he could mix a drop of essence with wine or water to drink when he was free. At the very least, it could help Lord Luo recover faster after practicing martial arts and heal old injuries. At the most, Lord Luo might just need a little to achieve enlightenment through martial arts. This little may be here." "Is it so wonderful?" Luo Seng became interested. "Of course, all things in the world are born from heaven and earth. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is good for everything. Even watering flowers and trees is good for it. It just depends on how much each person can consume." Lin Jue said, "What's more, Mr. Luo has now mastered the breathing and guiding techniques and has a method to nourish qi." "So ordinary people can also take it?" "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is more gentle and moderate than the spiritual energy of yin and yang and the five elements. It won't be harmful if you take too much of it. It will just be useless at best." "Um……" Luo Seng nodded and thought about it. The junior sister listened nearby and didn't say much. She just picked up the jewelry again and asked Lin Jue, "Are these gold?" "It's pure gold, and very pure." Lin Jue took it and took a look, and knew it, and then said to them, "I only want Chen Niu Fu, this bottle and these gold jewelry. It depends on what you and Luo Gong want." "I want gold!" The junior sister simply put away the jewelry. "Then I will take this bottle." Luo Seng said without hesitation, "Thank you Taoist Master Liu for your help." He knew that although the two Taoist priests in front of him were not to the point of completely disliking gold, silver and money, in comparison, magic weapons were more useful and precious to them. Since Lin Jue was willing to give up the magic weapons and remind his junior sister to choose gold, it meant that this thing was really more suitable for him. It's impossible that he is going to pit himself, right? "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your help!" The little sister also thanked him. The fox next to them tilted its head and looked at them seriously. "Oh!" The junior sister picked out a gold bracelet from the jewelry, handed it to Fox, and said to her solemnly: "This is yours!"
"Hmm~" The fox was satisfied and went back to play with the bracelet in its mouth. The flames crackled, and the mud ball inside had already hardened. Luo Seng fiddled with the small bottle for a while, poured a drop into his water bag, shook it a few times, and took a small sip first. "How do you feel?" Lin Jue asked with a smile. "I feel a little refreshed, but I don't feel anything else for now. However, there is an obvious benefit." Luo Seng looked at the water bag. "Originally, the water was stored in here, and it has a bit of smell after a long time. I poured a drop of water from this bottle into it, and I didn't expect that not only did the strange smell disappear, but it actually became fragrant." "Haha, Mr. Luo, don't be greedy. One drop a day at most. Any more will be wasted." "It's better for me to follow you Taoist priests. If I were alone, let alone whether I could get rid of that bitch, even if I could, I wouldn't get such a good thing. Even if I saw it, I would just throw it away." "Ha ha……" Luo Seng drank a few sips of water and wiped his long sword. This sword of his has been passed down from generation to generation and has long been filled with evil spirits, but it was still in his hands that he used it to slay the most demons and monsters, and it gradually became magical. Moreover, since he started working with Lin Jue, he has slain countless demons and monsters. He used to count, but now, if he wants to count, he has to go back and think carefully and calculate. The magic on the knife naturally became more and more intense. Now, not only could the knife cut through metal like mud, it even seemed to have a spirituality. Whenever he summoned it, the knife would tremble slightly and hum continuously, as if it was about to fly over. Most treasures in the world are like this—— Some are born treasures, while others become treasures after experiencing certain things or being used by certain people. The warrior is full of righteousness, and he uses this sword to constantly slay demon kings and eliminate spirits, so it is no surprise that the sword has magical powers. The beggar chicken waited too long. Fuyao originally lay there watching, but after a while, he felt bored and ran to the side to play with the cat. When the cat was tired, he started to dig holes nearby. It looks like digging a hole and practicing earth escape. Anyway, they just dug up some soil and drilled underground. Lin Jue sat by the fire, watching with the corner of his eye. It was then that he realized that the magic spell it had learned from the rat demon was earth escape. There was no surprise at all - This fox loves digging holes so much, I'm afraid that no magic can be better than this earth escape technique in its mind. However, although the fox has learned magic, it still needs to practice, just like when it first learned the art of wall-walking, it walked on trees and walls all day long before it became proficient in it. It's just that its spells are often not practiced deliberately, and it is practiced just for fun. After a long time, the fire went out. Everyone took out the cracked earth balls that had been burned, and came over. Then they saw the junior sister stretch out her hand, bend her fingers, and flick it lightly. Snap! The outer layer of mud suddenly cracked and scattered on the ground. When the lotus leaves inside were pushed aside, the first aroma came out, a mixture of the fragrance of lotus leaves and the fat and moisture of chicken. Steam rose, and the chicken inside was so tender that it was dripping with juice.
Several people had already started swallowing their saliva. …… The fox was digging holes all the way. After walking for a few more days, we arrived at the border. They took out their certificate of ordination, revealed their identity, and said only that Luo Seng was their protector, then entered the pass. Luo Gong then took them to the ancient battlefield. On the night of the waxing moon, the three men walked slowly, with ghosts howling and spirits dancing all around them, even the horses were frightened, but they remained calm. Unfortunately, although there are many residual souls here with obsessions, some of them have become confused because of the time and have long forgotten the reasons why they don't want to leave. Although others are better, they are also unwilling to leave, but they are fundamentally incompatible with Lin Jue's ideas. In the end, only a few who are willing to follow and help Lin Jue are willing to slay demons and uphold justice. Instead, he went to another battlefield where the army of the human dynasty was fighting against a big demon from the border, and got help from more than a dozen heroes. He went to Longzhou again and brought back the hero's body. Several of the residual souls collected on the road dispersed immediately, leaving behind eight souls willing to help Lin Jue. Together with those recruited on the border battlefield, there were a total of twenty-eight souls. Lin Jue controlled it very well—— The spiritual wood he obtained from the Alligator King was just enough to carve more than twenty bean soldiers. There's no need to be too precise, just about right. After all, the carving knife is in his own hands. If there are one or two fewer residual souls, he can be more relaxed and casual when carving. If there are one or two more residual souls, he can design and plan carefully. I even took a trip to Yubi County, stayed at Mr. Luo's home for a few days, and had some good meals. Chen Niu pointed the way and headed southeast. After all, riding a horse is faster than walking or riding a donkey. After traveling six thousand miles, when they arrived near the capital again, autumn had just ended. The abilities of the three of them have improved tremendously. (End of this chapter)
