On the other side, Bai Yuan and Ning Yan also found a room to rest.
Bai Yuan was planning to take a good look at what he had just collected, but Ning Yan pulled Bai Yuan aside and asked curiously:
"How did you defeat Yanri just now? Also, why did he say that you practiced evil martial arts?"
Looking at Ningyan's concerned look, Bai Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
"Do you remember the martial arts book I left for Hua Xue and the others before we went down the mountain?"
Ning Yan nodded gently: "Didn't you tell us before that it was a secret technique to strengthen the body?"
"Yes, it can transform everything in the world into nutrients. Even the moment you breathe, you are absorbing the creation of the world for your own use. Therefore, it can prolong a person's life and keep them young. I have developed some new uses for this technique using the characteristics of this technique."
"I used it to devour the essence of the Sun-Burning Sword, so I was able to destroy it. I also absorbed the Sun-Burning Sword's internal force, so he said that I practiced evil martial arts."
Bai Yuan explained it to her.
Ning Yan was very surprised after hearing this. Not only could he absorb the creation of heaven and earth, but he could even absorb other people's internal strength and use it for himself. Such martial arts were indeed shocking.
"Then how much internal energy did you absorb from Yanri?"
"Not much, probably only absorbed about ten years of his internal energy! It's a pity that I have only just learned this secret technique not long ago, otherwise I would have absorbed more!"
Bai Yuan smiled softly.
But Ningyan widened her eyes.
"Ten years! Does that mean your internal strength has increased by ten years in just one go?"
"Not really. After the secret method was used to purify and transform Yanri's ten years of internal energy, some of the impure power was removed. So in the end, only about five years of internal energy was left that I completely absorbed and used for my own benefit."
Bai Yuan carefully felt the power in his body before speaking.
But Ningyan still felt very surprised.
"No wonder Yanri thinks this is an evil martial art that can draw out other people's internal energy and take it for oneself. This kind of martial art is simply horrifying! By the way, if you absorb Yanri's internal energy like this, will there be any side effects?"
Ningyan suddenly asked with some concern.
After all, this martial art did sound a bit weird, and she was worried that it would bring some hidden dangers to Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Don't worry! There are no side effects, and you don't have to worry about me. I also know that too much is as bad as too little. Although this martial art can make my strength increase rapidly, I will not abuse it."
If the internal strength grows too quickly, it can easily cause an unstable state of mind, and the chance of going astray during cultivation will also increase.
Moreover, absorbing internal energy is no easier than absorbing the essence of dead things, and the difficulty is increased exponentially.
Because this secret technique ultimately requires the consumption of his own internal energy. If the opponent's internal energy is not weaker than his and he intends to resist, then if he wants to absorb the opponent's internal energy, the consumption will increase exponentially.
The reason why he was able to absorb Yanri's ten years of skills was largely because Yanri was not aware of his martial arts style and madly output his internal force to him, allowing him to seize the opportunity.
Chapter 245 Tempering and Strengthening
Five days later, Bai Yuan and others returned to Taiyi Mountain safely, and Xuan Jian and his wife found a place to live at the foot of Taiyi Mountain.
Bai Yuan asked them to settle down first. After all, they had been hunted by Luowang these days, and there was hardly a day that went by without them living in fear.
Xuan Jian, Bai Yuan and Ning Yan said goodbye temporarily without informing Jimo Huaxue and others of their return in advance, intending to give them a surprise.
When he returned to his residence, Bai Yuan saw Jimo Huaxue, Yun Xi and more than ten other dancers practicing swordsmanship together.
To be precise, it should be a sword dance.
They were halfway through their practice when they noticed someone coming. They looked over subconsciously and then a surprised smile appeared on their faces.
"You're back!"
Several people put down their swords and gathered around.
Jimo Huaxue even went straight to the point and started touching Bai Yuan all over.
"What is this for?"
"I need to check if you're injured."
Jimo Huaxue showed a worried expression, but Bai Yuan saw a hint of mischief in her eyes.
So Bai Yuan grabbed Jimo Huaxue's wrist and gently pulled her into his arms.
Bai Yuan smelled a delicate fragrance from her body, and couldn't help feeling a little distracted as he held the soft and fragrant girl in his arms.
He leaned close to Jimo Huaxue's ear and whispered, "It's not convenient to do this in public. If you really want to check, I'll let you check it out tonight."
Jimo Huaxue felt a stream of hot air hitting her ears. A red cloud appeared on her face and her earlobes also turned red. They looked smooth and delicious, making people want to taste them.
She buried her head in Bai Yuan's chest and hugged him tightly.
"Then it's settled..."
Bai Yuan thought there would be no follow-up, but Jimo Huaxue actually gave a reply, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Sitting in the yard, Jimo Huaxue and others began to ask what happened to them after they came down the mountain.
Bai Yuan told them every detail of the incident.
When they learned that Luowang had sent three top-notch assassins to deal with them, Jimo Huaxue and others were obviously a little excited.
"What! How come you knew about this big thing in advance but didn't tell us?"
"That is, sir, why are you so reckless as to put yourself in danger?"
Even the Black and White sisters and dancers like Yun Xi felt that Bai Yuan was being inappropriate this time.
Bai Yuan also knew that they were worried about him, so he smiled, pulled up Jimo Huaxue's soft and boneless little hand, and gently kneaded it.
"Of course I did this because I was confident enough. Don't you know my strength?"
"These are two different things! Even if we trust you, we don't want to see you in danger."
Jimo Huaxue spoke seriously.
"I am not a weak woman who can't even lift a finger. I hope you can trust us a little more and let us do something for you."
Bai Yuan smiled and touched Jimo Huaxue's head.
"okay, I get it!"
In the evening, Bai Yuan personally went to the kitchen and made a pot of [Beauty-Nourishing White Jade Soup] to appease these lovely girls.
That night, Bai Yuan and Jimo Huaxue were like a newlywed couple, like dry wood meeting raging fire, tossing and turning all night long, and did not fall asleep until four o'clock in the morning.
The next day, it was almost noon when Bai Yuan got up and dressed with the help of Yun Xi.
After eating a simple meal, he ran to find Chisongzi.
Not long after, he walked out from Chisongzi with a smile on his face.
After leaving Chisongzi's residence, Bai Yuan went straight to the warehouse. Taking the token given by Chisongzi, he gave orders to the Tianzong disciples guarding the warehouse.
"According to the order of the Sect Master, we are now collecting one hundred long swords from the warehouse and sending them to the Sword Forge!"
Looking at the token in Bai Yuan's hand, the Taoist disciples immediately took action.
Bai Yuan brought a hundred long swords to the sword forge. He was relaxed and comfortable along the way, but this made life difficult for the Taoist disciple who delivered the swords to him.
Soon, rows of high-quality swords almost filled the sword forge.
Bai Yuan waved his hand to let the Taoist disciples who were surrounding them disperse, then he picked up a sword and walked aside.
Then, Bai Yuan took out from the system the things he had collected from the wild beasts when he rescued Xuan Jian.
[Sharp Fang (Green)]: The fang pulled out from the mouth of a ferocious and aggressive wild wolf. It can be used as a material for tempering and strengthening weapons, giving originally ordinary weapons a new lease of life.
As early as a few days ago when Bai Yuan just acquired the gathering skill, he already knew what these things were used for.
Things like fangs, claws and even arrow spikes are basically used to temper weapons, while some materials like fur can be used to make protective gear.
Picking up a weapon at random, Bai Yuan pinched a sharp fang and placed it on the sword. Then two options appeared in front of him.
One is tempering, the other is strengthening.
He silently chanted the word "tempering", and then something magical happened!
[Sharp Fangs] actually melted into the sword body like ice turning into water.
Bai Yuan gently touched the sword with his fingers and then flicked it. The sword trembled slightly and made a sound of sword ringing.
[Name]: Bronze Long Sword·Revised
【Entry】: Armor-piercing fangs (green)
[Armor-Piercing Fangs]: This sword has a certain armor-piercing effect, and can tear apart the enemy in front of it like a wild wolf's fangs!
The originally ordinary bronze sword actually acquired a very good entry after being tempered with [Sharp Fangs].
Then Bai Yuan picked up another sharp fang, and this time he chose the latter, to strengthen!
The fangs also merged into the sword like water.
The information about the long sword just now also changed again.
[Name]: Bronze Long Sword·Revised +1
【Entry】: Armor-piercing fangs (green)
[Armor-piercing Fangs]: This sword has a powerful armor-piercing effect. After being strengthened, the armor-piercing effect has also been significantly enhanced.
Bai Yuan was somewhat curious about the effect of this sword, so he quickly asked someone to prepare a thin piece of armor for him.
After putting the armor on the wooden man, Bai Yuan held the bronze sword in his hand and swung it lightly, cutting the wooden man and the armor into two halves like cutting tofu.
The original bronze sword has now turned into an extremely sharp "divine weapon".
All Bai Yuan paid for was two wolf fangs.
After sheathing the sword, Bai Yuan had completely understood the difference between "tempering" and "strengthening".
The former can add new attributes to weapons, while the latter can strengthen existing attributes.
Bai Yuan weighed his inventory, then picked up a new sword and began to temper it.
After a day, Bai Yuan finished tempering the last sword before the sun completely set.
The materials he had saved were also completely used up.
But fortunately, the result is good. These one hundred swords have undergone tremendous changes and have gone beyond the category of "ordinary". Although they cannot be compared with the top famous swords, they are definitely better than ordinary long swords. Therefore, he is very satisfied.
Chapter 246: The wedding ceremony, becoming a man and a woman
Time flies. Xuan Jian took Wei Xianxian and the child to live with Bai Yuan's group of dancers in a village at the foot of the mountain. After spending a month with Wei Xianxian, he reluctantly went up the mountain to find Bai Yuan.
Fortunately, there are so many people taking care of Wei Xianxian and her son, so Xuan Jian doesn't have to worry about any problems.
When he found Bai Yuan, Xuan Jian discovered that Bai Yuan was sorting out pieces of information with Ning Yan and others.
Seeing Xuan Jian coming, Bai Yuan waved without even raising his head.
"You've come just in time, come and help us, we can't handle it all!"
Xuan Jian nodded blankly, then walked forward, picked up the information and started reading it with Bai Yuan.
Then he was shocked.
As far as he knew, Tianzong and Ying Zheng had only been cooperating for a short time, but now the Qin court was already in turmoil, and Ying Zheng had made a lot of big moves.
Previously, Tianzong and Yin-Yang School decided to help Ying Zheng take power, but neither the people of Tianzong nor the Yin-Yang School were good at power struggles in the court, so their help was also in other areas.
Because of Bai Yuan, Tianzong can occasionally come up with some good things that are not available in the outside world, so they are mainly responsible for providing material assistance to Ying Zheng, helping him to expand his power and enable him to have the ability to compete with court forces such as Lu Buwei.
A lot of things like Qi-nourishing pills, blood-clotting pills, and even spirit-gathering pills were secretly given to Ying Zheng.
Even the one hundred fine bronze swords that Bai Yuan had made before have now been delivered to Ying Zheng.
After obtaining these supplies, Ying Zheng used them all to train his trusted subordinates.
Relying on these things sent by the Taoists, he formed a guard team called Shadow Guards in a very short time, and they were responsible for his safety together with Gai Nie.
Obviously, this secret shadow guard was established by him to target the Luowang organization under Lu Buwei.
However, the current Shadow Secret Guards are still too immature and do not have the strength to confront Luowang head-on.
But even so, this force cannot be ignored, and Lu Buwei also felt a tremendous pressure.
