After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He felt as if he were in an endless starry sky, with stars flowing around him and sword energy crisscrossing everywhere!

"This sword technique...has no rank?"

Lin Fengmian was slightly startled.

He calmed his mind and studied it carefully.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.

This sword technique is far more profound than the Nine Heavens Profound Sword Technique he is currently cultivating!

The "Nine Heavens Profound Sword Manual" was considered top-tier within the Joyful Union Sect, and ordinary disciples were not even qualified to access it. It was Chu Qingyi who helped him obtain it.

Compared to this sword technique, it is like a firefly compared to the bright moon!

"Father...how can you possess such powerful martial arts techniques?"

Lin Fengmian was filled with doubts.

My father was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment back then, and the Lin family was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment family. How could they possibly possess such a profound sword technique?

Could it be that... the father's identity is not as simple as it seems on the surface?

He shook his head, suppressing those thoughts for the time being.

Continue studying.

This sword technique is called "Starfall Sword Manual". It does not focus on sword skills, but on sword formations!

Cultivators must simultaneously control multiple flying swords to form a sword formation to kill enemies.

Once the sword formation is complete, its power will increase exponentially!

The manual states that as long as one controls enough flying swords and the sword formation is exquisite enough, one can even kill enemies of higher ranks!

"Killing enemies of a higher level..."

A fiery glint flashed in Lin Fengmian's eyes.

But then he felt somewhat helpless.

He currently only possesses three magical flying swords.

One was the "Little Heavenly Gang Sword," another was the "Shadow Sword" seized from the black-clad man's storage bag, and the third was his father's spirit sword.

With his current spiritual strength, controlling two spiritual weapons simultaneously is already his limit; he is still far from being able to form a sword formation.

He shook his head and continued reading.

The final part of the cultivation method also recorded a secret technique.

【Sword-Bearing Technique】.

[You can place the flying sword in your dantian and nurture it with your own spiritual power.]

The longer it is used, the sharper the flying sword becomes.

At the same time, the sword energy within the flying sword will also nourish the cultivator, continuously tempering their physique.

"This is good!"

Lin Fengmian's eyes lit up.

Without needing to actively cultivate, it can continuously improve the quality of the flying sword and its own strength, making it an absolute godsend for AFK farming!

He immediately sat cross-legged and, following the instructions of the secret technique, circulated the spiritual energy within his body.

Three flying swords flew out of the storage bag and hovered in front of him.

Lin Fengmian made hand seals and chanted incantations.

The three flying swords trembled slightly, then transformed into three streams of light and entered his dantian!

"hiss--!"

Lin Fengmian gasped.

pain!

It hurts so much!

The moment the two flying swords entered his body, sword energy burst forth from their blades.

Like fine needles, piercing back and forth between the meridians and bones!

That feeling was worse than death!

But he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Cultivating immortality is about defying fate. If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, how can you talk about the Great Dao?

The excruciating pain gradually subsided after a full incense stick's time.

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

At this moment, three flying swords were quietly suspended in his dantian, enveloped by warm spiritual energy. Faint sword energy flowed from the swords, slowly seeping into his limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel his own physical condition.

It is getting stronger at an extremely slow but definitely steady pace.

"It's done."

A smile appeared on Lin Fengmian's lips.

When I exited the jade pendant space, it was already late at night outside.

He got up, pushed open the door, and went out.

The moonlight, as clear as water, spilled over the Green Bamboo Mountain.

Lin Fengmian walked along the forest path and soon arrived at the council hall.

At this moment, the hall was brightly lit.

Lin Yuanshan was sitting in the main seat, with a thick stack of account books and directories in front of him.

The Lin family is destined for unrest today.

He frowned slightly, occasionally sketching with his vermilion brush.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Lin Fengmian, and immediately smiled.

"Fengmian, why aren't you resting yet?"

Lin Fengmian walked to his side, glanced at the lists, and said softly:

"Second Uncle, you've worked hard."

Lin Yuanshan waved his hand:

"There's nothing hard about this. You, on the other hand, have to travel tomorrow, so go and rest."

Lin Fengmian nodded, took out a storage bag from his pocket, and placed it on the table.

"This is?"

Lin Yuanshan took the storage bag, probed it with his divine sense, and his pupils immediately contracted!

"This...so many spirit stones?!"

Inside the storage bag, fifty thousand spirit stones were neatly stacked!

This was the total of 70,000 spirit stones that Lin Fengmian had obtained from the five men in black.

He kept 20,000 for himself

Fifty thousand spirit stones!

The Lin family's annual revenue is only a few hundred thousand!

Lin Fengmian actually casually pulled out 50,000?!

"Feng Mian, what's wrong with you...?"

Lin Fengmian said softly:

"Second Uncle, take these spirit stones and use them to buy a few shops in Qingyun City. Choose good locations."

Lin Yuanshan stared at him blankly.

Lin Fengmian continued:

"If the Lin family wants to rise to prominence, it's far from enough to just cultivate spirit fields and collect those meager offerings. They need stable industries and a steady stream of spirit stones in their income."

He paused, his gaze deep:

"My goal is to make the Lin family the new Golden Elixir family in the Zhao Kingdom."

A family of Golden Elixir cultivators!

Lin Yuanshan was deeply shaken.

Families like the Nangong and Chu families, with Golden Core cultivators in charge, are independent of any sect and form their own factions!

That's the height that so many families dream of!

He took a deep breath and looked at the still somewhat youthful face in front of him.

The young man, who already displayed an extraordinary demeanor, had slightly reddened eyes.

"Good! Good boy!" He nodded vigorously. "Your second uncle will certainly not let you down!"

Lin Fengmian nodded and turned to leave.

Under the moonlight, the figure in the green robe walked further and further away, his steps unhurried.

……

That night, the Lin family sealed off the great formation, and screams could be heard from time to time.

The next morning.

Lin Fengmian flew back to Qingyun City on his sword.

He was thinking about Nangong Li.

Yesterday's events are still vivid in my mind.

When the five men in black attacked, Nangong Li fought against them all, covered in blood, but he did not retreat an inch, protecting them fiercely.

At that moment, he saw it very clearly.

This woman truly values ​​her own life.

Although she is usually arrogant and aloof, and her thoughts are hard to fathom, she never hesitates when it matters.

Lin Fengmian was always clear about his gratitude and grudges.

He will repay those who treat him sincerely a hundredfold.

Arriving at the inn, I pushed open the room door.

Nangong Li was sitting by the window, holding an ancient book in his hands.

Today she changed into a moon-white long dress; the light fabric made her skin appear even whiter.

Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders like clouds, and her captivating eyes were intently focused on the book.

Her profile is so beautiful, it's like a figure in a painting.

She looked up when she heard the door open.

When she saw that familiar figure, her eyes suddenly lit up.

But then, she suppressed her excitement, calmly put down the book, and said lightly:

"You're back?"

Lin Fengmian found it amusing to look at her hypocritical expression.

He walked over, sat down naturally next to her, and put his arm around her waist.

Nangong Li stiffened slightly, but did not push him away. He simply turned his head away, his ears turning slightly red.

"Husband, have you settled things with the Lin family?"

"Mm." Lin Fengmian nodded.

"From now on, my second uncle will be the head of the Lin family, and none of those who are an eyesore will be spared."

Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Nangong Li's eyes.

Decisive and ruthless, without any hesitation.

This is the man she has her eye on.

She turned slightly to the side, tilting her face up to look at him, her beautiful eyes filled with a rare tenderness:

"My husband...you're amazing."

Lin Fengmian felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he saw her like that.
