Chapter 321 Donghuang Bell

"Not enough, not enough. The flame is still too weak. The temperature is not high enough to melt Gengjin."

Zhong Lin looked at the Gengjin in the alchemy furnace, which had been burned red but still showed no signs of melting. He had an idea and started to practice the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong".

In an instant, a crimson flame ignited from Zhong Lin's palm.

This is the red flame spiritual fire, which was originally a secret technique contained in the "Red Flame Art". Later, the "Red Flame Art" was integrated into the "Five Elements Hunyuan Art" by Zhong Lin. With the circulation of spiritual energy, it can naturally be easily sacrificed.

With the addition of the red flame spiritual fire, the temperature of the flame began to soar again, and the Gengjin iron ingot finally showed signs of melting.

Seeing this, Zhong Lin was delighted and practiced the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" with all his strength. The spiritual energy in his dantian surged, and the vital energy of the world around him rolled in.

boom!
The scorching flames erupted with incomparable heat under the impetus of Zhong Lin. Even the surrounding rocks made sizzling sounds and showed signs of melting.

"The five elements rotate, the red flames burn the sky, melt them for me."

Zhong Lin grabbed a handful of pills from his storage bracelet and swallowed them. The pills melted in his mouth, and the rich medicinal power merged into his spiritual essence, instantly filling up his originally dry dantian.

Under Zhong Lin's inexhaustible flames, the Gengjin iron ingots finally melted and turned into molten iron.

"It's finally melted, now it's time to start shaping it."

Zhong Lin had never seen the legendary Donghuang Bell. Of course, it was possible that it did not exist in the legend.

Therefore, the creation of the Donghuang Bell depends entirely on Zhong Lin’s imagination, so naturally it is as handsome as possible.

As I said before, being strong is a matter of one version, but being handsome is a matter of a lifetime.

three days later.

Zhong Lin looked at the bronze ancient bell the size of a basketball in front of him, and the smile on his face never stopped.

The ancient bell is dark green all over, the size of a basketball, and weighs tens of thousands of pounds. It is covered with complex and exquisite carvings, including mythical beasts, cloud patterns, and thunder patterns, and is filled with a sense of sacredness and majesty.

"Hahaha, it's done, the Donghuang Bell is done."

Zhong Lin laughed out loud, his excitement beyond words.

"receive."

With an order, the Donghuang Bell turned into a stream of light and kept shrinking, then sank into the center of Zhong Lin's eyebrows and appeared in the Soul Palace.

In the Soul Palace, the Donghuang Bell was suspended above the soul, and with its appearance, the soul power repeatedly blended and absorbed with it. Under this soul power, the Donghuang Bell also made a slight roar, shaking the entire Soul Palace.

"I didn't expect that my life weapon would actually have a purifying effect on my soul. I didn't expect that."

Zhong Lin was pleasantly surprised to find that the roar of the Donghuang Bell actually made his soul more concentrated. It can be said that there is a mutually reinforcing effect between the natal weapon and the soul.

"The Donghuang Bell is nothing more than a lump of iron at this moment. Its only power is probably to smash people. After all, it is heavy enough. If it wants to possess various strange powers, it needs to be constantly nurtured. However, one day, this Donghuang Bell will resound through the heavens with me."

Zhong Lin's eyes were full of pride. Possessing the system panel, he was confident that he was no less capable than any so-called genius. As long as he took one step at a time and developed steadily, he would reach the top one day.

Now that his natal weapon was ready, Zhong Lin's heart finally relaxed, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly washed over him.

These past few days, he'd been mining, forging iron, and finally refining weapons. Even with the help of elixirs, he was exhausted, more exhausted than fighting. Thinking of this, he collapsed to the ground, lying undignified, his eyes slightly closed. Soon, he could hear snoring.

I slept for three days and three nights. When I opened my eyes again, I stretched and felt refreshed and the world was clear.

Feeling the soul sitting cross-legged in the Soul Palace and the Donghuang Bell floating above his head, Zhong Lin also smiled.

"It's time to go back."

Without staying for long, he packed up some things in the treasure house and then took off into the air and returned to Jin'ao Island.

The bustling scene on Jinao Island has ended, but it has been replaced by pavilions, towers and magnificent palaces, which no longer resemble the desolate image of the island before.

Zhong Lin was delighted by this scene and sighed, "It's true that warriors are the primary productive force! Building these palaces on the Black Turtle Road would have required millions of people to do decades of hard labor. But with the help of these warriors, they were built in just over a month. It's truly amazing."

While he was thinking, Zhong Lin had already landed in front of the palace in the center of Jin'ao Island. Immediately, many servants came up to him and knelt on the ground.

"Greetings, Elder. May you be well and safe."

A figure was walking towards them from a distance. It was the sect leader Yu Jinglei, who came quickly to Zhong Lin.

"Zhong Lin, you are finally back."

"Master, what are these?"

Yu Jinglei pointed at the people kneeling on the ground and said, "These are some servants I recruited from outside. They are specifically responsible for taking care of some miscellaneous matters on the island. After all, we haven't started recruiting disciples yet, so we need some people to take care of some miscellaneous matters."

Zhong Lin nodded in understanding, and an idea occurred to him: "Master, the disciples of the major sects on the Falling Star Islands are mainly divided into inner and outer sects. When recruiting disciples, the master can also designate a group of menial disciples. They can handle the sect's miscellaneous matters and be taught martial arts. If they achieve success, they can be promoted to outer disciples."

Yu Jinglei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a good idea. It can not only solve the sect's miscellaneous affairs, but also check and fill vacancies to see if there are any untapped talents that have been missed. Moreover, after a certain number of years, these menial disciples can be dismissed. When they return home, it will also be a kind of publicity for the sect. If there are smart children in the family, they can also be sent to the sect."

Zhong Lin couldn't help but take a deep look at Yu Jinglei, and could only say that he was worthy of being the sect leader.

The idea of menial disciple was something Zhong Lin got from some novels he read in his previous life, but he didn't expect that Yu Jinglei could draw inferences from it and find so many benefits after just listening to it once.

"...Sect Master, that's a good idea."

Zhong Lin couldn't help but praise him.

"What a good idea! Wasn't it you who came up with it? I think you are more suitable to be the sect leader than me. Why don't you do it?" Yu Jinglei said.

Zhong Lin waved his hand and said, "Master, please don't refuse anymore. No one is more suitable to be the master than you. By the way, when do you plan to open the sect and recruit disciples?"

"I've discussed this with Elder Yin and Elder Lianshan. The third day of next month is an auspicious day. We plan to hold the sect's opening ceremony on that day. What do you think?"

"The Sect Master can decide."

"Then on the third day of next month, I will send people to various islands to deliver invitations. We will then open the sect and recruit disciples at the same time."

Yu Jinglei's face was full of excitement. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the ambition he had when he took over the position of sect leader in Xuangui Continent, and it was even greater than before.
