Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 220: Melting
The two entered the underwater cave.

The black snake at the door had been shot through the head, like a bug killed by a silver needle.

Tian Buli casually pulled out the iron sword from the black snake's head. The dirty blood in the water nearby was like oil and water when it approached the iron sword and could not stick to it.

This sword seems to have a non-stick effect.

Tian Buli recalled that the little rabbit used the same weapon to stir the firewood in the burning fire, or simply cleaned it after doing some dirty work.

The blacksmith who made this weapon must have known this effect. For a martial arts master who kills people like crazy, having a weapon that is not stained with blood is an advantage, and it is a function that should be added whenever possible.

The sharp claws of a monster like the Infant-Swallowing King must be cleaned frequently, but I don't know how this effect occurs.

At this time, Tian Buli did not have much time to think about these things, and his attention was soon attracted by the night pearl that Han Qingwei took out.

The pearl was brighter than the gold and silver jewelry at home, and it illuminated the underwater cave like a light bulb.

Han Qingwei noticed Tian Buli's gaze, and she stood there, making hand gestures with one hand and holding the pearl with the other, introducing the pearl.

"This is an extremely bright pearl, condensed from a hundred ordinary pearls. It is a million times brighter than ordinary pearls."

Tian Buli asked curiously, "Did you get it from a monster?"

Han Qingwei smiled and said, "Junior brother, you don't have enough experience. There are not so many monsters outside, and they are all suitable. These ordinary things are all practiced by myself."

"Pearls are common clams raised in the river. We at Jingshui Peak have a water-dissolving technique that can use the power of a waterfall to forge the same thing into one piece. But don't let your imagination run wild. Master only passed this technique on to Senior Brother Canggu."

"Several of my uncles should be able to do it. Uncle Feng often comes here to refine weapons. The headmaster has a more useful thunder casting technique. It is said that the smelting forging center on our Jingshui Peak was built with the help of fellow Taoists from Songzhou Tiexin Valley. Uncle Feng also contributed to it. However, Xunfeng Mountain was not suitable, so it was built on Jingshui Peak."

Tian Buli usually practices Taoism quietly and knows little about the internal affairs of the mountain gate, especially the affairs of Jingshui Peak and Xunfeng Peak.

It is precisely because of this kind of focused attitude of seeking the truth and not paying attention to external affairs that his Taoism level has improved so quickly.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Sister. It's inconvenient for you to move with the things you're holding, so let me check the situation ahead."

"it is good."

Han Qingwei gave the task of taking the lead to Tian Buli.

The Ji Ming Pearl is not a magical item. It is similar to a flashlight or a light bulb. It weighs less than a pound and does not require much effort to hold.

On the contrary, the Water Avoidance Technique requires continuous input of magic power to avoid the squeezing water.

It takes time to forge magic weapons and refine elixirs, and then the magic weapons and elixirs can save and restore mana at critical moments.

Taoism practice is not only the time spent in meditation and cultivation, but also, in a sense, the survival time of a Taoist.

It is generally believed in the cultivation world that the older the cultivator, the higher his level of cultivation.

Even for monsters, the older they are, the more powerful they become.

After hundreds of years of practice, he must have collected a lot of things.

Tian Buli quickly looked forward and saw a pair of glowing eyes.

A huge fish, with a head as tall as a person, rushed directly towards the two men.

This bighead fish has a tumor-like bone on its head and a human-like face with a pair of green eyes and white bones clearly visible.

There was not much room to dodge in this passage. Tian Buli maintained the Water Avoidance Technique with one hand and input magic power into the iron sword in his hand with the other.

Whoosh!
The iron sword was thrown out again, like a bullet leaving the barrel of a gun, piercing the big fish in front!

The bones of the bighead carp and the scales and bones behind its head were all broken by this sharp claw.

The bighead fish that died instantly still rushed over, and Tian Buli punched it out.

The bighead carp was blown away like a piece of plastic bubble.

Tian Buli continued to move forward and brought Han Qingwei to a wide cave that looked like a central hall.

Under the illumination of the extremely bright pearl, the two soon saw that most of the human bones and fish bones were buried in mud and soil in the cave.

The body of the big fish hit the hole and floated up, floating to a 100-meter waterway above that seemed to lead to the surface of the water. Tian Buli could see the light on the water surface above, but there was no need to go up. The iron sword had just pierced the bighead fish and pierced the nearby stone wall.

Tian Buli pulled the iron sword out of the stone, held it up and looked at it, and found that the tip of the sword was a little worn and had a small break.

"It's a little broken. I guess I need to find a blacksmith to sharpen it when I get back."

Han Qingwei came over holding the Ji Ming Pearl and asked in confusion, "Junior brother, why do you always throw away your weapons?"

Tian Buli explained: "It was difficult to move underwater just now. When the big fish rushed over, I just used my hands and feet to exert myself. It was too inconvenient to hold the sword in the cave, so I threw it away without thinking too much."

"I see." Han Qingwei nodded.

The two continued to walk inside, and after entering, they found that there was a treasure cave leading upwards.

The river water stopped in a cave. The two men walked out of the pool and looked at the cave which was more than ten meters high.

Tian Buli smiled and said, "This place seems to be in a mountain. There are many boxes nearby. I know there are gold and silver inside without opening them."

Han Qingwei smiled and said, "Seeing is believing."

Tian Buli walked over, broke the lock with his iron sword, and quickly opened the box. Sure enough, there were boxes of silver inside.

Tian Buli reached out and picked up a silver ingot. After weighing it, he soon discovered that there were words on the bottom of the ingot.

"Positive."

Tian Buli frowned, "This is official silver. It looks like it was minted in the past two years."

The Jingshui Peak lineage selects its members from aristocratic families and monk families, and there are very few real poor farmers who enter Jingshui Peak.

Han Qingwei is also a big family in Hanyang Province, and is mainly in Hanjiang Prefecture, while Tian Buli is in Qitian Prefecture.

One of the two governments is military and the other is civil, but they are both officials and often have affairs with each other.

"Junior brother, Master said before he came down the mountain that we are only responsible for exorcising demons, and other matters are the court's business."

Tian Buli nodded, "Yes, I don't want these gold, silver and jewelry. Let's see if there is anything else."

Han Qingwei smiled and said, "Junior brother, you'd better be careful. I'll check it out first."

Tian Buli asked curiously: "How do I check?"

Han Qingwei no longer needed the Water Avoidance Technique and began to use magic to gather water vapor.

Soon a gust of damp and cold vapor blew out, and soon vapor similar to evaporation began to rise nearby.

Tian Buli discovered that the temperature in some places in the cave was high and in some places it was low.

Han Qingwei glanced at Tian Buli and said with a smile: "Junior brother should have discovered that our water veins and wind veins are close, and we have also learned from each other on some of the Taoism."

"This is a Taoist method created by my master and Master Feng. It is called the Gold Stone Wind and Smoke Method. It is specifically used to touch those magic weapon restrictions and make them ineffective."

"Although the monster is very skilled in Taoism, he only used some despicable means such as poisoning and hiding gold and silver needles to protect the gold and silver jewelry. Naturally, he is no match for Taoism."

Tian Buli said politely: "The Taoist method of Jingshui Peak is indeed magical!"

Although it was a compliment, Tian Buli felt that Han Qingwei still hadn't learned the true magic of Jingshui Peak.

My master is Taoist Liuyun, who specializes in Feiyun Taoism.

The one at Jingshui Peak is Taoist Priest Shuiyan. What he is really good at may not only be wind and water, but he is definitely good at smoke-related spells.

However, although they have the same smoke, Taoist Master Shuiyan and Taoist Master Liuyun do not get along very well, so naturally they will not use each other's Taoist methods, even if they are similar.

It's not that they don't need to use it, but they just don't use it in front of others. According to Tian Buli's feeling, these two women must have comprehended each other's Taoism more outrageous than their own.

Tian Buli thought of the amazing thing.

Ask your master when you get back. If he is particularly good at water magic, then that will be it.
