Blue Silver Grass Strategy

For a two-story building that is five or six meters high, some people would be trembling even when climbing a ladder, but others can just lift their feet and push the wall twice and then leap up.

Fortunately, in this life, with the practice of spiritual ways and the development of mental strength, Ling Yi discovered that he had become one of the geniuses that were once out of reach in his previous life.

Without saying anything more about Zhang Lei's sigh, Ling Yi put the iron birch slingshot into his waist pocket, took out a few bamboo tubes from his lower back, and walked towards the little wild boars.

He skillfully put on double-layer rabbit leather gloves, pried open the mouths of the little wild boars, and fed each one a mouthful of the pungent brown liquid in the bamboo tube.

As the liquid entered their stomachs, the grunting little wild boars gradually quieted down and their limb movements became stiff.

This brown liquid is a simplified version of the knockout drug recipe that Ling Yi copied from the internet when he was reading novels in his previous life. It is made by boiling several common and somewhat toxic flowers and herbs such as Datura flowers, raw Aconitum carmichaelii, and Arisaema consanguineum.

The effect is pretty good!

A small spoonful of it can allow an adult rabbit at home to sleep for a day and a night!

The taste is too strong. Not to mention humans, even animals have to open their mouths and pour it in before they can drink it.

When Ling Yi dealt with the twenty-two little wild boars, Zhang Lei had already used underwater mud mixed with aquatic plants and leaves to cover the wounds of the five adult wild boars' corpses, in order to slow down the spread of the bloody smell as much as possible.

The two looked at each other, ignoring the wild boars of all sizes lying dead on the ground, and took out their iron birch slingshots again, walked towards the woods, and followed the traces left by the wild boars on the ground.

I don’t know whether Miaomiao and Ah Huang succeeded in luring the seven wild boars to the trap pit.

Thanks to my book friend [Qing Ji T Wu Qing] for the monthly ticket, and thank you for your support and follow-up reading, thank you! (^_^)

Chapter 26 One year later

Beikouhe Town, west of the town, Jiang’s blacksmith shop.

“Ding! Ding ding! Ding ding! Ding ding! …”

The rhythmic knocking sounds were endless. Under the illumination of the red fire, beads of sweat on Ling Yi's fair face sparkled like rubies.

"laugh--!"

As soon as the dark red iron tool was dipped into the cold spring water, a large amount of white mist immediately spread out, making Ling Yi's upper body vaguely visible.

“Dang——!”

With a crisp sound, a crescent-shaped black iron casting was clamped by pliers and placed on the iron felt.

This is a sickle blade without a handle. It is dark in color overall, with a flat blade and a smooth crescent-shaped curve, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship of the forger.

At this moment, a head popped over from the side, looked at the sickle blade on the iron felt for a few seconds, then looked at Ling Yi's handsome face that was still childish, and couldn't help but sighed: "Ayi, your skills have surpassed mine, and are not worse than the master's!"

"No way~"

Ling Yi had a sunny smile on his face. He shook his head at Ling Bai who was approaching him and said, "I don't have enough strength. I can only work on some details. When it comes to forging technology, you, Brother Bai, and Master Jiang are better—"

"You..." Ling Bai raised his hand and tapped Ling Yi's shoulder, saying, "You are still so modest, you don't look like someone your age at all..."

While the two were talking, they did not interrupt their work. Ling Bai held the tongs, picked up pieces of pig iron, and put them into the furnace with half red and half blue flames. Ling Yi picked up the cooled sickle blade with his bare hands, turned around and walked to the workbench two steps away, and began to sharpen the sickle's blade.

Just as Ling Yi was concentrating on grinding the sickle blade into fine serrations with one hand and a file in the other, Master Jiang, the owner of Jiang's Blacksmith Shop, came to the workbench at some point and watched quietly as the sickle in Ling Yi's hand gradually became a finished product.

When Ling Yi put down the file, picked up a piece of rough linen, and wiped the sickle a few times, a loud exclamation of praise rang in his ears:

"good--!"

"Xiao Yi~" Master Jiang glanced at the sickle in Ling Yi's hand, the blade of which was flashing with cold light, and said with satisfaction: "Just looking at the blade of this sickle, what Bai said is true. Your skills are actually better than mine--!"

As he spoke, a look of reminiscence appeared on Master Jiang's face:

"When I was learning from my master, he told me, 'Forging takes three years to learn, but sharpening a blade takes a lifetime'~"

"Generally speaking, the skill of sharpening a blade is much more difficult than forging!"

"The texture of the blade, the thickness of the blade edge... these are all very meticulous and particular—"

At this point, Master Jiang's expression darkened, then returned to normal, shook his head, and sighed:

"Unfortunately, I am dull and have only learned limited skills. In the end, I could only return to my hometown and open a blacksmith shop to make a living..."

Master Jiang's tone was calm, and he had obviously accepted his current situation and was content with the status quo.

In response, Ling Yi did not say any words of comfort or encouragement, but just smiled shyly, handed the sickle in his hand to Master Jiang, and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I still have a lot to learn~ You praise me so much, it makes me proud——"

"You kid~" Master Jiang chuckled, took the sickle, and pressed lightly on the serrations of the blade with his rough thumb. He felt the thick calluses on his fingertips being penetrated a little, and his eyes once again showed approval.

"That's right~"

As if remembering something, he asked Ling Yi again, "Yesterday I heard from Bo that you are going to go to Muzhi City to study next month?"

As he was asking, Master Jiang suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not like Ling Bai and the other two young men in the shop, who were here to be blacksmith apprentices and wait to learn the craft in the future and make a living as an ordinary person, but a 'chosen one' with innate soul power and the hope of becoming a soul master!

Well, in the eyes of ordinary people without soul power, soul masters, even soul masters below level ten, are all superior to these peasants~

"Hmm~"

Facing Master Jiang's question, Ling Yi nodded and replied with a smile: "There is a vacancy for a work-study student in the town this year, and my family has saved me some living expenses, so I will naturally go to the academy to systematically learn the knowledge related to soul masters--"

"That's right~" Master Jiang nodded upon hearing this and agreed: "You should learn it, otherwise when your soul power reaches level ten, I'm afraid you won't even know how to choose and absorb soul rings of soul beasts..."

"By the way, when do we set off? We're not close to 'Muzhi Castle'—"

Ling Yi: "We'll leave in three days. We'll go early so we can handle things like admission and accommodation..."

"It's my duty~" Master Jiang: "Although you are young, you are trustworthy in your work!"

At this point, Master Jiang showed hesitation on his face, but after just two breaths, he became firm and said to Ling Yi, "Well, three days later you will set out for 'Muzhi City'. You will also pass by this town. Come to our store then..."

"Ah?" Ling Yi was stunned, but there was no hesitation on his face. He didn't ask any reason, and nodded directly: "Okay, Master Jiang, I will definitely come to say goodbye to you when the time comes."

"hehe--"

Seeing Ling Yi's straightforward and unrestrained appearance, Master Jiang couldn't help but feel very satisfied and happy. After laughing a few times, he didn't keep the secret and said to Ling Yi: "Don't worry, it's a good thing--"

"When the time comes, I will write a letter and you will take it to 'Muzhi City'. After you have enrolled and settled in, you can take some time to go to the Jin Geng blacksmith shop on Anfang Street in the south of the city and give the letter to the master craftsman inside, Mr. Jin Gangjin."

"Thank you, Master Jiang, for your trouble~" Ling Yi first thanked him, and then asked curiously: "Who is this Mr. Jin——?"

"Hehe~" Master Jiang smiled on his dark and red face and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you in three days..."

"Okay~"

Seeing this, Ling Yi didn't care. He shrugged his shoulders and told Master Jiang a few questions he had when he was hammering the sickle blank. After getting Master Jiang's experience, he picked up another red-hot iron ingot and continued forging.

The rhythmic knocking sounds rang out again. This time, Ling Bai next to him did not just heat up the iron ingot, but also picked out a bright red iron ingot and started knocking it with a hammer.

During the duet, Ling Yi divided his attention into three parts. One part of his mind was paying attention to his posture, breathing rhythm, arm span, muscle strength, etc. when swinging the hammer; one part of his mind was sensing the shape, weight, density, texture, etc. of the iron ingot under the hammer; and the last part of his mind was planning the itinerary after the practice in the blacksmith shop was over.

At this time, it was already August of the 2598th year of the Douluo calendar. It had been more than a year since the awakening of the martial soul last year.

Today, Ling Yi's character panel has much richer information than it did a year ago.

Chapter 27 Farewell One by One

In a year, many things remain the same, but many people and things have changed.

In the past year or so, with the help of the deep sleep fatigue refresh and repair plug-in, the self-hypnosis mimicry of "Blue Silver Grass" and the created "Blue Silver Grass" environment acceleration plug-in, Ling Yi's soul power has increased by almost three levels.

According to Ling Yi's conversations with several elderly soul masters and soul warriors in the town over the past year, this speed has reached the cultivation speed of ordinary soul warriors with first or second level innate soul power, although there is a low starting point of soul power.

In addition to cultivating his soul power, Ling Yi also did not give up on strengthening his physical body.

"Basic Physical Fitness" has two more shapes, rabbit and chicken, than a year ago. The effects are roughly the same as those of the cat and dog shapes, but it also exercises some parts of the body that were not taken into account before.

The "Farmer's Three Styles" was perfected during the autumn harvest season last year, with more than 300 people working and observing for half a month. The "Axe Style" was perfected before winter, when Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe organized the villagers of Shanhai Village to cut down 500 to 600 dead and crooked trees in the old forest.

Unfortunately, as a child, his underdeveloped body has limits, and the increase in strength is limited, only increasing by less than 50 kilograms.

Here we have to mention the slingshot made of iron birch. Although the bowstring has been replaced with a more resilient one, its effective range is limited to seventy meters.

It’s not that he can’t hit farther. If he only considers the aim, Ling Yi can currently calculate the landing point and make the bullet accurately hit the peanuts at a distance of 120 meters.

But at this distance, the power is no different from a normal free fall.

Only within seventy meters can a stone bullet be guaranteed to explode a pheasant's head.

He replaced it with an iron bullet made in a blacksmith shop. With the instantaneous explosive power enhanced by the third-level soul power, it was enough to pierce a wild boar's skull within twenty meters.

Unfortunately, the soul power is too little, and this burst can only have the power of one attack. It is most efficient to attack weak parts such as eyes, ears, joints, etc.

In terms of the spiritual path, there has been little progress in the realm, and I am still in the second stage of deep sleep, the third stage of 'sleep during movement', and I am always missing an opportunity.

As for hypnosis, he has the whole family, Ah Huang and Cat, as well as cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits and other subjects to practice with. In addition, his mental power naturally increases with age and soul power. Recently, Ling Yi has been able to initially grasp the life rhythm of the hypnotic subjects. He does not need the cooperation of the other party. He only needs to mobilize his own mental power to hypnotize the other party in a very short time through language, gestures and other hints.

The premise is that the other party does not have a strong sense of vigilance and resistance.

In addition, thanks to his own martial soul "Blue Silver Grass", through the activation of soul power, Ling Yi can transform his own aura into that of a member of the "Blue Silver Grass" at any time. In the environment of "Blue Silver Grass" everywhere in Shanhai Village, with his mental power, he is the leader of that "Blue Silver Grass" clan!

Blue-silver mimicry, so terrifying!

Ling Yi, who was amusing himself, said goodbye to Master Jiang and Ling Bai, walked out of Jiang's blacksmith shop, and walked towards the north of the town from the small path on the side.

Beikouhe Town is not big. With Ling Yi's brisk steps, it only took about ten minutes for him to arrive at a yard near the edge of the town.

After knocking on the door and entering the yard, I saw an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. On the edge of the yard, there were several rows of brown wooden racks with various weapons such as knives, guns, axes and sticks placed on them.

"Yi boy is here~"

Facing the courtyard gate, in front of the main house, a burly old man sitting on a recliner saw Ling Yi approaching, but did not stand up. He just nodded with a smile on his face and greeted him.

This old man with white hair and beard had bulging muscles all over his body, and there were many scars on the exposed parts of his body, which gave him a fierce feeling. What was eye-catching was that the old man's left leg was empty, and he was actually missing a limb!

After nodding and thanking the woman who had just opened the door and led the way, Ling Yi turned around and bowed to the burly old man, and replied in a gentle voice: "Master Huang, I'm here to say goodbye."

Master Huang Liang is a retired veteran. He was originally a sergeant in the army of the [Shuimu Principality]. More than ten years ago, he went with his team of 100 people to guard the periphery of a Soul Hunting Forest in the north. While on patrol, he was attacked by a group of "Gray Shadow Wolves". Although he broke a leg, he managed to save his life.

After becoming disabled, he naturally could no longer stay in the army. With his savings of many years and 30% of the gold soul coins issued by the military, he returned to his hometown, Beikouhe Town, bought a house and land, married and had children, and became Mr. Huang.

A year ago, Ling Yi, accompanied by Ling Xiaoshan, came to visit the Huang Mansion with two adult wild boar carcasses that he and Zhang Lei had hunted in the old forest. With the blessing of his own soul warrior identity, Ling Yi successfully began to learn from Master Huang the sword, gun, stick and other combat skills that the other party had learned in the army.

"Say goodbye?" Master Huang paused with his left hand holding the teapot, then raised it up unconsciously, put the spout to his mouth, took a sip of tea, and then cast his tiger eyes towards Ling Yi who was standing in front of him. He looked him up and down for a while with a serious look, and sighed, "Yes~ Another year of Wuhun Academy has begun..."

Then, he said to Ling Yi: "Last year's work-study student quota was taken by those two companies. This year, it is your turn~"

After a pause, seeing that Ling Yi's expression was still calm, without any jealousy or resentment, Master Huang nodded in his heart, then shook his head, suppressing some thoughts that had just emerged. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration, and considering the other party's young age, he even had a little respect for him.

Skipping over the previous topic, as if the previous sentence had never been spoken, Master Huang asked again: "Have you found a carriage to "Muzhi City"? Although it's not far, it's not too far to walk, right?"

Ling Yi nodded and shook his head, saying, "I didn't go to look for a carriage specifically. The young master of the Ethan family also wanted to take his two cousins ​​from the second branch of his family to 'Muzhi City' and report back to the academy in advance. They said they could take me with them~"

Hearing this, Master Huang's eyes flickered and he looked at Ling Yi steadily. After a few breaths, he saw that Ling Yi looked calm and smiled: "This is a good thing——"

"Okay~ Go to the academy and study and practice hard. Although your innate soul power is only half level, if you work hard, you can practice to level ten, obtain a soul ring, and become a soul master. There is still a great hope~"

"Unfortunately, your martial spirit is the "Blue Silver Grass". However, you have learned the techniques of using the four weapons in my hand, namely the knife, gun, stick and axe, in just one year. I think any soul master of the same level below the Great Soul Master, as long as they are not geniuses with high-grade martial spirits, should be able to handle it—"

Listening to Master Huang's comments, Ling Yi had a warm smile on his face from beginning to end, and he would respond and express his gratitude from time to time.

For a moment, the huge square in front of the Huang Mansion was filled with Master Huang's heroic laughter.

After saying goodbye to Master Huang, Ling Yi left the Huang Mansion and headed straight for the Wuhun Hall located in the center of the town.

Deacon Yan Bin should also say something~

A year has passed, and Yan Bin's position has not changed, but his soul power has increased by more than one level and is almost at level twenty-five.

Considering his age and qualifications, he could hopefully reach the Soul Master realm before the age of thirty.
