Martial Arts Immortal

…

"Haha, isn't it just an ordinary magic weapon? It's nothing."

"That is to say, the formation patterns are engraved on it. After inputting true energy, the formation patterns can be stimulated to become sharper and have a stronger restraint effect on demons."

Jiang Jun handed over the sword in his hand and said with a smile.

Chen Ding and others couldn't help but come closer and reach out to touch the blade.

The body of the blade is engraved with complex formation patterns. The formations are engraved on the body of the blade in a certain unique pattern, which looks to have a unique beauty.

"Good knife!"

Lin Zheyu played with the long knife and praised it.

Although he didn't do much research on weapons, he could tell at a glance that the sword in front of him was definitely a peerless sword.

It is far from comparable to the purple thunder demon-slaying knife that Jiang Jun gave him.

"The Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Sword was originally forged as a magic weapon. Unfortunately, something went wrong when the formation patterns were engraved on it, and it became a fragment of the magic weapon."

"If you have enough contribution points, you might as well go to Si Tianjian and engrave the formation pattern on it and turn it into a magical weapon."

Jiang Jun said.

He pondered for a moment and continued: "By the way, aren't you the 24th on the Hidden Dragon Ranking? I heard that in this challenge, if you can enter the top ten on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you can be rewarded with a magic weapon."

"Brother, I'll give it back to you."

"Forget it, top ten on the Hidden Dragon List. With my strength, it's too early to compete for the top ten."

Lin Zheyu returned the long knife in his hand and said with a smile.

He is now trying to find ways to get down from the Qianlong Ranking, how can he continue to challenge upwards.

Senior Brother Jiang Jun is a very talkative and outgoing person.

Chen Ding and others have a very good relationship with Jiang Jun. They haven't seen each other for several years, and they seem to have endless things to talk about.

Lin Zheyu sat aside silently, listening to their conversation with a smile, and occasionally adding a word or two.

…

It was already late at night when we returned to the sect.

Zhi acridine~

Returning to the yard, he took off his clothes. Lin Zheyu, shirtless and wearing shorts, came to the yard and started practicing before going to bed.

Last time I went to the black market and bought a few books on health-preserving exercises, including Taixu Changqing Gong, Dead Tree Rejuvenation Gong, etc., a total of four exercises.

These techniques are not much weaker than the True Turtle Breathing Technique, but each technique has a different method of prolonging life.

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Zheyu's movements were slow and full of beauty, his breathing was long, and a sense of vitality emanated from him like a dead tree blooming into spring.

Lin Zheyu practiced for more than an hour. He felt that it was late at night, so he stopped.

【God rewards those who work hard】

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 1

Skill:

The Dead Tree Rejuvenates (18% on the second level)

Holy Spiritual Energy (Second Level 0%)

Hunyuan Wuji True Skill (Third Level 0%)

"This Dead Tree Resurrection Technique has some skills. It is only the second level. Even with my physical strength, I can feel the vitality and become more and more intense."

Lin Zheyu was very satisfied with the rejuvenation of dead trees.

This skill is much stronger than the Turtle Breath True Skill.

However, the difficulty of practicing the Dead Tree Spring Technique is even higher than that of the Turtle Breath True Technique, so fewer people choose this technique.

"These five health-preserving skills have the same purpose and can be combined into a more powerful one."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

Looking at the entire martial arts world, Hunyuan Wuji True Kung Fu is a top-notch technique. Lin Zheyu currently has no way to integrate other techniques to create a stronger and more complete technique.

However, it is still possible to put forward the true health-preserving skills separately, take the essence and discard the dross, and create a more powerful health-preserving skill.

At that time, you can also incorporate breath gathering techniques such as the Secret Technique of Eternal Night Sleep and the Nine-turn Yuan Locking Technique.

…

The third day.

early morning.

Loud shouts came from Zongmen Square.

"Junior brother, please be careful when going on this mission."

"If you encounter people from the Tianbei Sect, Beiyin Palace, or the Deng clan in Wuling City, you must be very alert."

Before leaving, Guo Wenzi warned.

The forces she mentioned were all enemies of the Wuji Sect or Huang Baizhong in Wuling City, and Lin Zheyu had also heard about them.

"Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me, I will be careful."

Lin Zheyu thanked him.

After saying goodbye to his senior sister and taking the purple thunder demon-slaying knife given by senior brother Jiang Jun, Lin Zheyu left the sect and reported to the city guards outside Wuling City.

This operation was officially organized by the Wei Dynasty, and all the sects in Wuling City were required to be dispatched.

Arriving at the registration office, Lin Zheyu handed over his identity token.

"This is Mr. Lin from the Wuji Sect. Please sit down first while I register you."

"This time the military has issued a reward. Every time you kill a demon puppet above the Qi and Blood realm, you will get one contribution point."

"The stronger the demon puppet you kill, the more contribution points you get."

"There is a contribution point redemption list here. You can take a look at it first."

The soldiers at the registration office were very respectful.

He is just a small leader in the city guard army, with a strength of about three levels of energy and blood. When facing a warrior who is stronger than himself and who is from a top sect, he will show due respect.

While waiting, Lin Zheyu took the exchange list and looked at it curiously.

'Third-level spiritual liquid, second-level spiritual liquid, first-level spiritual liquid...Yunling Pill, Juechen Pill...Demon-killing Axe, Ghost Sword, Glazed Cord...'

'There are so many good things...'

Lin Zheyu looked at the items on the exchange list and saw many good things.

Some of them are difficult to obtain even within the Wuji Sect.

In addition to precious spiritual fluids, elixirs, weapons, and rare fruits, there are also exercises that can be redeemed.

It can be said that it has everything.

"So there are so many levels of spiritual liquid? The spiritual liquid I got from the unknown warrior last time should be the worst third-level spiritual liquid..."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

"Mr. Lin, your identity has been registered. This is your talisman."

"When performing a mission, you'd better carry the talisman close to your body. If you encounter danger, you can crush the talisman to rescue."

"At the same time, if you see the talisman flashing red, it means that someone nearby is in danger and needs emergency rescue."

The soldier handed over the talisman and explained respectfully.

"good."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

After the soldier's introduction, he also understood his responsibilities.

The city guards had few restrictions on martial arts experts like them, and a few people were responsible for clearing demon puppets in an area.

Lin Zheyu only needs to patrol the area he is responsible for to prevent the demon puppets from breaking through the defense line and entering the living range of civilians.

The City Guards have no strict requirements on the number of demon puppets killed.

However, many warriors will hunt as many demon puppets as possible to earn contribution points.

This time, Wei officials spent a lot of money, and the rewards and redemption prices were very attractive.

Even Lin Zheyu was a little tempted.

Here, as long as you are strong enough, you can hunt a large number of demon puppets, accumulate contribution points, and exchange them for what you want.

Contribution points within the sect are not so easy to earn.

After leaving the city guard registration office, Lin Zheyu saw a familiar figure, it was Luo Manghan who he had fought against before.

"Brother Lin, you are here too."

"I wonder which area Brother Lin is responsible for?"

Luo Manghan asked with a smile.

In this mission, all sects inside and outside Wuling City must participate, and the War God Sect is no exception.

"Northwest to the East Third District."

Lin Zheyu smiled and said, "Where is Brother Luo?"

"That's a pity. I'm responsible for the northeast direction."

"Brother Lin is really awesome. He has even reached the 24th place on the Qianlong Ranking. Brother Lin will definitely shine in the Qianlong Ranking Challenge in a few months."

Luo Manghan said with a smile.

"I accept your good words."

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

After bidding farewell to Luo Manghan, Lin Zheyu headed northwest of Wuling City.

Wuling City is a huge city with military camps stationed on all sides. The person in charge of the west side is a strong man with a beard and a burly build.

The strong man's name is Wei Yun, and he is a warrior in the marrow training realm.

"Haha, I've heard about Brother Lin for a long time, but I didn't expect that Brother Lin would be responsible for this area this time."

"I'll ask Brother Lin to help me a lot in the days to come."

When Wei Yun saw Lin Zheyu, he smiled heartily.

"It's just a false name."

"General Wei has been on the battlefield for a long time and is very powerful. Juniors like us cannot compare with him." Lin Zheyu said modestly.

He could sense that Wei Yun's strength had almost reached the peak of the Marrow Training Realm.

The terrifying energy and blood power in the opponent's body has almost condensed into the actual true intention of killing, which is much more terrifying than many genius warriors on the Hidden Dragon List.

There is an age limit for geniuses on the Qianlong List. Once you are over 60 years old, you are no longer eligible to be on the Qianlong List.

Although Wei Yun did not have enough qualifications, he was promoted to the Huajin level.

But as a veteran Marrow Training Realm warrior, he has experienced countless battles and killings in the army, and his strength has already reached the peak of the Marrow Training Realm.

"Brother Lin, why do you have to be so humble?"

Wei Yun said with a smile, seemingly without any airs.

He made an invitation gesture, invited Lin Zheyu to sit down, and then poured a glass of wine for Lin Zheyu.

"I wonder what the situation is now?"

Lin Zheyu asked.

"Some trouble."

"The continuous emergence of demon puppets is the second best thing."

"Those monsters have no intelligence and only act based on instinct. Just prevent them from breaking through the defense line."

"The most troublesome thing is those rats hiding in the dark."

"Guys from ancient demons, barbarians, Nine Nether Sect, Holy Sect of Pain and other chaotic forces have all gotten involved and plan to get a share of this turmoil."

Wei Yun frowned slightly and said solemnly.

"Is it so complicated?"

"Didn't Buddhism also get involved and stand on our side? Didn't they take action?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"I've already taken action."

"If the Devil's Cave to the west had not been suppressed by Buddhism, a demonic disaster would have broken out long ago. The demonic disaster is much more terrifying than these guys."

Wei Yun shook his head and said.

The reason why the Demon Cave is called the Demon Cave is because there are several huge time and space nodes in that place, which cannot be closed at all, and can only be suppressed by setting up large formations.

Although it was suppressed by a large formation, that hell had long been polluted by the dirty energy diffused by the time and space nodes and turned into a demon soil.

In addition, monsters often break through the formation, and there is chaos there.

If the Wei Dynasty had not realized that the situation was not good and cooperated with Buddhism early, allowing Buddhism to share the pressure of the Demon Cave to the west, there would have been problems there.

"Haha, don't worry, Wei's army is not a vegetarian."

"Those rats in the gutter only dare to hide in the darkness and do some shady things." Wei Yun said with a smile.

After a few glasses of wine, Lin Zheyu planned to leave and go on patrol in the mountains and forests.

There are city guards stationed on the defense line, and the city guards use military formations to prevent even a single master-level demon from breaking through.

However, the military formation has a weakness, which is its lack of flexibility.

Going into the mountains and forests to patrol and hunt demon puppets can only be carried out by powerful warriors.

"Liang Cheng."

"Subordinates obey orders!"

"Send this confidential letter to Hanfeng Tower and hand it over to Deng Yuanzhi personally."

Wei Yun called his subordinates and gave instructions.

"Yes, sir."

Liang Cheng respectfully took the secret letter, turned around and left quickly.

"What a coincidence. Brother Deng just asked me to pay attention to this boy's movements, and he was assigned to me."

"He's number 24 on the Hidden Dragon List. He's really a great genius."

"But a genius must be able to grow before he can be called a genius. If he dies midway, he is nothing."

Wei Yun said with a smile.

He turned around and sat back down in his original position, pouring himself a glass of wine. The solemn expression on his face was gone.

…

Swish~~

The breeze blew and the trees rustled.

After entering the forest, Lin Zheyu did not immediately search for the demon puppets.

After confirming that no one noticed, Lin Zheyu changed his appearance, then determined his location, and moved towards the place where the black jade plate and blood lotus were buried.

Those two things are very likely to be on the same level as magical weapons.

Whoosh~~

Lin Zheyu was very fast and soon arrived at the place where he was buried.

Arriving at the big tree with a hidden mark, Lin Zheyu tapped his toes and jumped up to the top of the tree.

He hid the black jade plate in the trunk of the big tree.

puff--

He clenched his right hand into a claw and grabbed it hard. Lin Zheyu grabbed the regrown tree trunk again, revealing the black ink jade plate inside.

"Still."

"But why is the light spot above missing?"

Lin Zheyu took the black jade plate and returned to the tree.

After taking out the spiritual liquid and pouring a drop on the black jade plate, nothing happened.

Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment, grabbed a ferocious beast, smeared the beast's blood on it, and then added another drop of spiritual liquid.

Still no changes occurred.

"Strange, it doesn't work?"

"Or is there a special way to use it?"

Lin Zheyu muttered.

He brought the black jade plate to his eyes and observed it carefully. He seemed to have discovered a problem. Then he raised his head and looked through the light to see the structure of the black jade plate more clearly.

"The patterns engraved inside have disappeared."

"Not only that, the entire black jade plate has cracks. Could it be that this thing is just a one-time use?"

Lin Zheyu guessed.

The current black jade plate gave him a completely different feeling than before. It lacked the sense of mystery and was just like ordinary jade.

"Hide it back again. If you find it valuable in the future, come back and get it."

Lin Zheyu studied it for a while and decided to hide it again.

He knew too little about these mysterious items. Even if the black jade plate was still usable, he couldn't study it.

"Would you like to see the place where the blood lotus is hidden?"

"Taking things is full of evil nature. Even if it is still there, with my current knowledge, I probably won't be able to research anything."

Lin Zheyu pondered.

But he just hesitated for a moment and decided to go over and take a look to make sure the thing was still there.

The two items were hidden not very far apart.

In less than a minute, Lin Zheyu arrived at another location where the blood lotus was hidden.

Judging from the marks on the tree trunk, no one should have been here.

puff--

Lin Zheyu scratched off the skin of the healed tree trunk, revealing the blood lotus inside.

"Huh?!"

Feeling the evil and weird aura emanating from inside, Lin Zheyu felt a strong sense of crisis.

The energy and blood in the body are circulating instantly, and the muscles all over the body are tense, ready to escape at any time.

"The blood lotus has actually merged with the big tree!"

After Lin Zheyu saw clearly the appearance of the blood lotus in the tree trunk, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The blood lotus, which was originally the size of a palm, sprouted several blood vessel-like tentacles from the core of the flower and pierced into the trunk of the tree.

Under the assimilation of the blood lotus, the entire tree trunk turned into blood.

Strange bright red juice even oozed from the place where Lin Zheyu had grabbed it.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Lin Zheyu was amazed.

He didn't dare to stay here for a long time, so he tapped his toes and quickly fell down from the tree.

This weird thing was beyond his cognition and brought him a strong sense of crisis.

To be on the safe side, Lin Zheyu thought it would be safer to retreat immediately.

call out--

However, a sudden change occurred.

The moment Lin Zheyu retreated, the tree branch that was originally motionless suddenly hit Lin Zheyu at an alarming speed.

The branches moved very quickly, as if they turned into countless tentacles of flesh and blood, winding towards Lin Zheyu.

Whoosh——

Lin Zheyu's eyes condensed, and a powerful aura burst out from his body. The purple thunder demon-slaying knife whizzed out, cutting off several branches that were entangled towards him.

The figure fell to the ground, and Lin Zheyu quickly retreated.

The long knife in his hand kept slashing out, cutting off all the tentacle-like branches that were chasing him.

"What the hell is this!"

Lin Zheyu stood in the distance, looking at the tree that turned into a monster, a little surprised.

All the branches that he cut off on the ground returned to their normal branch shapes.

As he moved away from the big tree, the tree returned to its original appearance without the weird changes just now.

"Just now, I seemed to sense the unique aura of gods and demons..."

"Did this thing come from some god or demon?"

Lin Zheyu looked at the big tree solemnly. After a few glances, he immediately turned around and left.

The level involved in this thing exceeds his current strength.

Even if he had a lot of confidence in killing this strange tree that was fused with blood lotus, Lin Zheyu didn't want to do it.

The level of gods and demons was beyond his imagination.

Lin Zheyu didn't want to offend unknown enemies because of his rash behavior.

When the strength is not strong enough, it is better to be cautious and keep developing.

As soon as Lin Zheyu left, something like a face suddenly grew out of the big tree, looking at Lin Zheyu's retreating back.

"Another guy with a special destiny..."

The human face murmured softly and soon disappeared again.

Deep in the mountains, in a forest shrouded in poisonous mist.

In the temple, a man wearing sacrificial attire suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the man on his left:

"Go and capture that person. He is the one the Demon God likes. Don't kill him." The priest man commanded majestically.

"Yes, Lord Priest."
