Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 89 Golden Thread Refining Technique, Night Patrol in the Deep Mountains

"For me?"

Lin Wenjing covered her mouth with both hands, unable to believe it.

"Of course it's for you. If you feel bad about it, Senior Sister, I'll need your help with my cultivation. These past few days, without someone with strong power and accurate acupoint identification to help me, my cultivation technique has come to a standstill."

Lu Wubing was referring to the "Golden Thread Robe" technique he obtained on the road. This technique was considered a superior external martial art and was very precious.

Logically speaking, as a disciple of the Tianxing Sect, it would be inappropriate for him to practice martial arts from other sects.

Especially this kind of hard skill that originated from Dafan Temple.

However, the [Golden Thread Robe] is different.

The secret technique has long ceased to be passed down by a single family or clan.

In the martial arts world, various sects, gangs, and families all possess martial arts techniques such as "Golden Robe, Bronze Armor, and Iron Shirt."

Even many soldiers in the army practice it.

In a sense, this type of technique is already a popular technique, with countless versions appearing in the martial arts world, and the body-strengthening prescriptions used are quite different.

Lu Wubing can cultivate on his own once he gets his hands on it, and there will be no future troubles. He doesn't need to worry about the Dafan Temple coming after him.

Originally, he wasn't in such a hurry to practice this external martial arts technique. He only wanted to master the sword technique "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" to the point where it couldn't be improved any further, to maximize his strengths and make his attack power infinitely stronger, so as to maximize the advantage of his "Heaven Rewards Diligence" training speed.

As it turns out, this approach doesn't work.

How strong a person is in combat depends on the combined strength of many factors.

Physical strength, the solidity of the body, the quantity and quality of internal energy, agility, and the quality of swordsmanship all play a significant role.

Even mental fortitude and emotional stability have an extremely important impact on combat effectiveness.

In this way, only improving one's swordsmanship level is like cultivating Taoist skills without cultivating magical power in a story we've read before—it's like walking with a limp.

The physical body couldn't withstand it, and the internal energy wasn't strong enough, which inadvertently lowered the attack power of his swordsmanship.

It hurts.

Therefore, he plans to first address his weaknesses.

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.

While in Mingyang City, he couldn't find anyone to help him with his cultivation, so his skill didn't advance.

Only by reaching the mountain can the cultivation of the "Golden Thread Robe" get on the right track and improve rapidly.

The reason is simple: Lu Wubing couldn't find a "tool" at home who was strong, had an incredibly accurate grasp of acupoints, and could control the force of his attacks.

Although Uncle Gui, Tang Qi, and the Wang family uncle and nephew are quite capable, they are still lacking in experience.

Seventh Senior Sister Lin Wenjing would be a good fit.

Lu Wubing glanced at the burly senior sister; her arms, chest, and back were incredibly strong.

Moreover, she practices the superior sword techniques of the Tianxing Sect, has exquisite control over her internal energy, and has a good temper. She is also willing to humble herself and do things, which is probably due to her impoverished background.

There's no psychological burden in ordering this senior sister around.

Lin Wenjing was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that this junior brother she had only known for a short time was actually trying to take advantage of her. Being a straightforward and generous person, she was quite happy to help.

Hearing Lu Wubing say this, she thought that although accepting the gift was a bit inappropriate, it wouldn't be a complete waste. So she smiled and said, "Junior Brother, let's make this clear first. I won't do anything that's too difficult for you."

"No trouble at all, just keep it. It's just a hairpin, there's no need to ask for too much."

Lu Wubing smiled, his eyes narrowing. He thought to himself, "It's all settled."

"This is... a jade hairpin?"

Yue Lingfeng looked at the hairpin in Lin Wenjing's hand with a strange gaze, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

This time, down in the mountains, I fought that flying thief from afar, busying myself with various tactics, but in the end, it all came to nothing...

Unexpectedly, the hairpin ended up in the hands of his junior brother, and no one knows how he got it.
"Probably. Before going up the mountain, I met a small merchant selling this hairpin. I heard it was a treasure from the Shuofang Pavilion. I saw that this hairpin was extraordinary, so I bought it and gave it to my senior sister as a toy."

Ouyang Lan stared blankly at the hairpin in Lin Wenjing's hand, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad.

He forced a smile and said, "It looks great."

Lin Wenjing's expression became slightly unnatural. Her gaze swept over the jade hairpin in Ouyang Lan's hand, and she smiled, "Junior Sister's hairpin is still prettier."

"Haha, they all look great. Has everything been peaceful on the mountain these past few days? Has Master returned?"

Even if Yue Lingfeng was slow to notice, he could sense that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, so he quickly changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenjing's expression changed slightly: "Master hasn't sent back any news yet, but the situation on the mountain is not good. At the beginning of the night before last, the thieves' tracks were discovered on the back mountain. One of the junior brothers from Jingxin Hall died and another was injured. When Master's wife rushed there, she couldn't find the thieves either."

"Hmm, why would they let a disciple of Jingxin Hall act alone? Didn't they say that at least one personal disciple should lead the night patrols of the front and back mountains?"

Yue Lingfeng frowned, his mood suddenly turning sour.

His tone was also slightly stiff.

It wasn't that I blamed my junior brothers and sisters for not doing their best, but rather that I was annoyed...

It's utterly unbelievable that someone from the prestigious Tianxing Sect would come up the mountain and injure people.

In the past, when he went down the mountain to help those in need, even if he didn't return for a long time, such a distressing thing would never happen.

Generally speaking, the ordinary disciples of Jingxin Hall are not very strong or skilled. If they really encounter an enemy, they may not even be able to send a signal, let alone repel the enemy.

However, if a direct disciple leads the night watch, this problem is not a major concern.

"Third Senior Brother went to Ji'an, Eldest Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother are in Mingyang City, and Second Senior Brother has not returned yet. There are not enough people to patrol the mountain at night, so we can only let the outstanding junior brothers of Jingxin Hall take on the main responsibilities."

Lin Wenjing lowered her head, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, now that Senior Brother and Sixth Brother are back, the situation on the mountain will improve. Anyone who dares to come up the mountain to spy will be made to stay forever."

Ouyang Lan interjected, but there was something she didn't say: "And then there's my junior brother. With his swordsmanship, he'll be another formidable asset."

Yue Lingfeng's expression softened somewhat, and he said in a deep voice, "Sixth Junior Brother, Ninth Junior Brother, you two will also join the night patrol. Now that the Demonic Sect has moved south, thieves have appeared in various places in the southeast. We cannot be careless, especially since Master is away..."

The rest is self-evident and needs no further explanation.

With a key figure missing on the mountain, those with a keen mind will certainly not miss this golden opportunity.

Whether it was a test or a genuine attempt to seize control of the Heavenly Star Sect.

This period is definitely the most dangerous time.

He had previously thought that, under the intimidating reputation of the Heavenly Star Sect, the demonic thieves would at most only cause trouble at the foot of the mountain.

Unexpectedly, there were some on the mountain as well, which was a miscalculation.

I should never have come down the mountain. I didn't get anything done and almost ruined something important.
