Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 123 The Future of Magical Artifacts

Lin Le casually took the storage bag off Yan Xuandong's body and said nonchalantly, "Don't leave. If you leave, you'll die. If you stay, you might still live."

The centurions, who were about to flee, did not believe Lin Le's words. After all, there were so many of them, how could Lin Le possibly chase after and kill them one by one?

But the truth is Lin Leneng.

Everyone swallowed hard as they looked at the small sword hovering in the air.

Lin Le emptied the contents of his storage bag and said while tidying them up, "From now on, you will each have five swords. For every evil deed your companion has committed, I will move one sword to your companion. Repeated acts will not count."

"You have one cup of tea's time limit. You may begin."

One of the centurions, upon hearing this, flew into a rage: "Don't listen to him! He's trying to kill us all!"

puff!

The sword fell from the sky, and even though the centurion used defensive measures, he could not withstand the sharp sword and was pierced through the body from above.

Seeing the limp corpse of the centurion, none of the others dared to move.

Their speed was clearly not as fast as the sword.

"Hurry up." Lin Le's calm, icy tone sent chills down their spines.

"I'm reporting that Hu Haonan embezzled his subordinates' pensions. Out of a hundred taels of silver, he pocketed ninety taels!" one centurion said, pointing at another.

"Luo Zhengze, you son of a bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? You're bullying the wife of one of your own men!" The centurion, who was being accused, roared angrily as he watched the small sword drift towards him.

"You're talking nonsense! That little flag bearer came to us of his own accord!" The centurion who made the accusation immediately denied it.

Starting with these two, the other officers present also began to argue, and the scene was so chaotic it was like a complete mess.

After Lin Le finished sorting through the spoils, he didn't say anything, but simply waved his hand.

Swords rained down, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

To Lin Le's slight surprise, there were actually two people still alive.

One was Song Shiyin, as expected; the other was a man whose face looked somewhat bitter.

Lin Le glanced at Song Shiyin, a strange look appearing in his eyes, because her progress was quite astonishing.

She had only reached the seventh level in two months, despite being a twelve-story building.

The problem is that with such a monstrous rate of progress, she should have already reached the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.

'There's a secret.'

This thought flashed through Lin Le's mind.

"You two, come here." Lin Le beckoned.

Song Shiyin did not refuse. She was not stupid. Her life and death were clearly in Lin Le's hands. Only someone who was bewitched would resist.

When the two approached, Lin Le said, "Go and investigate all the forces in this county. When you're done, let me know, and then you can leave."

"Yes," the two replied, clasping their hands in greeting.

Watching the two leave, Qingli teased from the side, "Oh, so you finally decided to leave two alive."

Lin Le rolled his eyes: "I'm not a killer, is it strange to leave two people alive? Besides, it's not like I haven't left people alive before."

"Who knows?" Qingli glanced at him. "Every time we cleaned up before, there were only corpses everywhere, not a single living person in sight."

"They ran away." Lin Le said speechlessly.

"Alright, alright," Qingli said dismissively. "Did you get what you wanted?"

"I don't know," Lin Le said, looking at the things on the table. "We need to study it further, or we should go back to that place to take a look."

There were three items on the table, all of which Lin Le found useful or whose purpose was unclear.

First, there's the bright red Blood Jade, a seventh-grade spiritual material. Lin Le plans to use it for the Lu Kong Demon Spear, but it's stuck at the seventeenth minor restriction level, possibly due to insufficient material resources.

Secondly, there was a jade slip. Lin Le played with it for a while, and after inputting his magic power without any reaction, he extended his divine sense into it. A surge of information flooded into Lin Le's mind. After sorting through it, Lin Le discovered it was a beast-taming technique called the Jia Wood Spirit Taming Technique, which was remarkably effective against tree spirits and the like.

The third is a compass. Lin Le already knew what this was from the jade slip: a star flow compass, a kind of array compass.

Once unfolded, it can attract the light of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, forming a special spiritual liquid called Emperor's Dew.

This spiritual liquid has a special attraction for ordinary wild beasts and demons, and can help them develop intelligence and improve their cultivation.

Lin Le channeled his magic power, and the Starflow Disc lit up. Lin Le carefully observed the patterns, but didn't pay much attention to the gradually condensing Emperor Flow Essence.

However, Qingli, who was standing next to her, was quite concerned, feeling that the gradually condensing spiritual liquid would taste good.

Looking at the pattern, Lin Le suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. After thinking carefully, he realized that it was one of the solutions to the star chart of the hydrangea, except that this one only showed a part of the solution.

'Try to understand this; the upgrade of the Yin-Yang Twin Swords depends on this,' Lin Le thought to himself.

Lin Le stopped inputting mana and went to receive the Emperor's Dew. Then he saw Qing Li staring intently at the Emperor's Dew.

"Want it?" Lin Le asked.

"Mm." Qingli nodded.

"Here you go." Lin Le handed over his hand.

Qingli stuck out her slender tongue and swirled it away, even deliberately touching Lin Le's palm.

Once you've fully transformed, I'll make you taste the power of my other gun.

Lin Le remained outwardly unmoved, but inwardly he thought viciously.

As Lin Le withdrew his hand, he saw the Yin-Yang Twin Swords staring at him expectantly, much like a dog.

Lin Le slapped it expressionlessly: "Don't point the sword tip at me, it's very impolite. Go, collect the storage bags, be a little more sensible like the Hun Tian Ling, okay?"

The Hun Tian Ling floated out of Lin Le's body, and when it swung around, its smugness was very obvious.

The Yin-Yang Twin Swords immediately left, looking dejected.

However, after it had collected all the storage bags, it saw that Lin Le had another drop of Emperor's Essence in his hand.

"Here you go." Lin Le flicked his finger, and the Yin-Yang Twin Swords happily went to consume the drop of Emperor's Essence.

'It's like having four pets.'

Lin Le thought to himself.

Lin Le drew the Demon Slayer Spear and handed it and the Bloodthirsty Jade to Qing Li: "Refine it again."

"I just ate a little of your food, and you're already giving others work to do." Qingli rolled her eyes at Lin Le, but didn't refuse.

A ghostly blue flame was released, melting the Blood Jade into a liquid. Qingli reached out and pointed, and the liquid transformed into threads, evenly spreading it onto the Slaughtering Demon Spear.

The Demon Spear of Slaughter trembled slightly, and its malevolent aura began to emanate.

After confirming that the refining was complete, Qingli handed the gun to Lin Le: "Be prepared, although this gun is full of spiritual energy, its potential has been greatly reduced because too many things were haphazardly melted down before. It can only be a top-grade magic weapon."

"Upgrading to a spiritual weapon is probably impossible unless there is a great opportunity."

"Understood." Lin Le touched the Sky-Slaying Demon Spear, feeling a little reluctant, after all, the blinking feature was too useful.

In Lin Le's mind, this one alone is no less valuable than a top-grade magic weapon.

After testing the second characteristic, Lin Le felt even more reluctant to part with it.

Because the second characteristic is Curse, which means that every time you attack an enemy, you can apply a temporary curse to the enemy, continuously weakening the enemy's strength, and it works perfectly with Blink.

'Perhaps there are still great opportunities.'

Lin Le's inner vision of the lotus root in his supernatural vision—this thing wasn't said to be only for human use.
