[Wuxia] Hunting Beauties in the Qin Dynasty (Complete) - Chapter 21

Chapter 131 Backhand Blow
Update Time: 7-4 7:07:37 Words: 3690

In the sky, a huge blue electric blade slashed down, its powerful pressure making people feel suffocated.
The final blow of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Thunder God Blade!
If one could withstand this blow, one could ascend to immortality, transforming from a demon into a celestial being, or even successfully possess the spirit and become one with this bronze figure. If one could not withstand it, one would be reduced to ashes, never to be reborn.
However, among a hundred people, not one could withstand this blow. This was because the Thunder God Blade was a powerful strike that gathered the power of heaven and earth, and only those with profound understanding and strength could withstand it. Ordinary demons would turn pale at the mere mention of it, and as for those who could muster the courage to withstand this blow, there was only one in a thousand.
"Hiss!"
It was unclear whether the one possessing the bronze figure was a guardian deity, a demon, or a former master of Taoism, but judging from the current situation, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He roared angrily, and the five-colored light shield above his head roared as it met the blow. The shield wasn't large, but it was very thick. To an ordinary person, it wouldn't look like a shield at all, but more like a section of iron ruler. The edges of the shield were much larger than its surface.
Upon seeing this, Long Lin knew that the soul within the bronze figure had thoroughly studied this heavenly tribulation. Not only could it name each wave of attacks at will, but it also had countermeasures for each.
It seemed this magical shield was specifically designed to counter the Thunder God's Blade. Because the Thunder God's Blade wasn't man-made, but rather a divine will, a pure blade of power gathered from heaven and earth, devoid of any trickery. It would never change its tactics mid-attack, as the shield, though narrow, was
perfectly positioned to contain the blade. As soon as the five-colored magical shield appeared, the bronze figure staggered, seemingly about to collapse to the ground. It formed a hand seal, closed its eyes, and regulated its breathing, remaining indifferent to the Thunder God's Blade in the sky, seemingly knowing that victory or defeat was inevitable, and that it was powerless to resist.
Boom…
The Thunder God's Blade slammed heavily into the five-colored magic shield. The powerful impact spread out in visible waves, instantly destroying everything above the force wave. Half a mountain was sheared away, leaving a smooth, mirror-like platform.
With a hissing sound, the purple lightning-streaked Thunder God's Blade pierced the five-colored magic shield like a mud ball, and with a deafening roar, the shield split in two.
However, the five-colored magic shield had also blocked most of the Thunder God's Blade's power. After passing through the shield, the Thunder God's Blade had weakened considerably, and its original brilliance had dimmed.
But even so, it would be a mistake to believe that it was completely harmless. The Thunder God's Blade was even sharper than divine weapons, and even at its weakest, it was enough to pierce through the bronze figure below.
"Hah!"
The bronze figure, sitting cross-legged, seemed to sense the danger. It suddenly opened its eyes, shooting out a beam of clear light that blocked the Thunder God's Blade just ten feet above its head.
Another deafening roar neutralized the remaining power of the Thunder God's Blade. Even so, though its brilliance had faded, the Thunder God's Blade still slashed down fiercely, striking the bronze figure's left shoulder with a clang, leaving a deep gash.
Fortunately, the bronze figure had a bronze head and arms; if it were an ordinary human body, it would likely be decapitated by now. Although struck, the bronze figure only swayed twice and let out a muffled groan.
Strangely enough, the Thunder God's Blade seemed to have condensed all the power of heaven and earth; after this strike, the sky instantly cleared, becoming cloudless and clear for miles.
The previous scene of dark clouds ravaging the city and lightning flashing and thundering vanished like a dream. Apart from the ravaged mountain peaks and faint traces of lightning strikes, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.
The bronze figure slumped down heavily, muttering, "I've finally survived the heavenly tribulation! Hahaha..."
Although it looked extremely exhausted, it was still incredibly excited. Surviving a calamity meant a new beginning.
Long Lin, hiding to the side, coldly observed everything. Suddenly, a mysterious smile appeared on his face as he silently slipped out from the crevice in the mountain and attacked the bronze figure from behind.
Just now, seeing that the Thunder God Blade's final strike had failed to cleave the bronze figure's body, Long Lin had an idea. He had just split his will into two crystalline lights; wouldn't the bronze figure be the perfect clone?
Moreover, the bronze figure had just undergone a heavenly tribulation and wouldn't need to worry about it anymore. Wasn't this the best opportunity Heaven had given them?
Although this behavior was somewhat despicable and shameless, he might as well strike it while it was down. If he waited for the bronze figure to recover its divine power and then discovered him, he would probably be the one to die.
The bronze figure had just undergone a heavenly tribulation and was at its weakest. It had just relaxed, sat down, and was about to recuperate when suddenly the sky darkened, and it was enveloped in a red light.
"What kind of demon dares to assassinate me?"
the bronze figure's aged voice immediately cursed. However, his magical power was weak, and even his cursing voice was very low and lacked any intimidating force.
Long Lin smiled coldly, not answering at all. With a wave of his hands, the red light immediately contracted.
The bronze figure let out a miserable scream, and a yellow-white ball of light instantly overflowed from the top of its head, trying to escape. However, as soon as it emerged from the bronze figure, it was firmly enveloped by a ball of red light.
Long Lin chuckled, "Trying to run? Not so easy!" He reached out and grabbed the ball of red light in his hand.
At this moment, standing within the red light was an old man dressed entirely in white, with white eyebrows and a white beard, glaring and cursing at Long Lin, "Who are you? I will haunt you even as a ghost!"
Seeing his appearance, Long Lin knew that he wouldn't get anything out of him. He simply sighed, clasped his hands together, and the red light receded, immediately releasing a miserable scream.
When Long Lin gently released his hands, the ball of soul had already vanished.
Long Lin gave a chilling smile, clapped his hands, and walked towards the bronze figure. He gently patted the figure's shoulder, but suddenly realized that its body wasn't as hard as bronze or iron; it possessed the elasticity of skin!
This greatly surprised him. He circled the figure, and then noticed two characters on its palms. The left palm bore the character "乾" (Qian), and the right palm bore "坤" (Kun).
Long Lin gasped, quickly laying the bronze figure down. Looking at its feet, he saw the character "天" (Tian, Heaven) on its left sole and "地" (Di, Earth) on its right.
Holding Qian and Kun in its hands, treading on Heaven and Earth—besides the twelve bronze statues cast by Qin Shi Huang, where else could a bronze figure be so immense?
Long Lin had a history of tomb raiding in modern times, and he had heard from tomb raiders who were even more knowledgeable than historians that after Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, in order to consolidate his power, he collected all the weapons in the land and cast twelve bronze statues, each holding the universe in its hand and standing on the heavens and earth, suppressing the ghosts and gods of the four directions and preventing the world from rebelling.
Long Lin saw that the bronze statues had a significant origin, but he was puzzled as to why they were here. At this moment, he noticed a line of small characters engraved on the left foot of the bronze statue, which was the date and time of its casting, along with a small mark of twelve.
Seeing this mark, Long Lin immediately understood. It turned out that collecting all the weapons in the land to cast twelve bronze statues was no easy task. After Qin Shi Huang became emperor, he collected weapons and cast them year after year, taking more than ten years in total, and this bronze statue was the last one.
Of course, Long Lin also deduced from the recorded year and time that the bronze statue was cast when the disaster in the alchemy workshop occurred.
"It seems that the disaster at the alchemy workshop might have been caused by the bronze figure!" Long Lin murmured, secretly speculating in his heart. However, he discovered that the bronze figure was actually made of top-grade spirit metal. It was clear that after collecting all the weapons in the world, the mountain of bronze weapons had been repeatedly refined into this top-grade spirit metal.
It seems these twelve bronze figures are no ordinary bronze figures; each one is a transcendent magical treasure. No wonder they can subdue ghosts and gods! Thinking of this, Long Lin couldn't help but admire them secretly. The First Emperor was indeed no ordinary person.
"It seems I've really struck gold this time!"
Long Lin chuckled. Since he came into contact with the Dao of Magic, the best magical treasure he had obtained was the Golden Pearl of Dan Chen he received from the fox demon in Xuefei Palace, which he gave as a gift to Shangguan Shuyuan. This bronze figure was the second spiritual treasure he had obtained. Because this bronze figure was forged from the spirit of ten thousand bronzes, it was naturally connected to the energy of heaven and earth. Furthermore, the First Emperor claimed to control heaven and earth and tread upon the universe, so its magical power was even greater than that of ancient immortal artifacts.
Long Lin carefully examined his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was around, he concentrated his mind, took out the secondary crystal light from his mind, and injected it into the bronze figure. As soon as
the crystal light entered the bronze figure, it instantly merged with it. This bronze figure seemed to have been made specifically for him. Moreover, this bronze figure possessed all five internal organs, and its meridians were perfectly orderly, constructed entirely according to the laws of nature. Its internal spiritual energy circulated freely, a truly wondrous sight.
Long Lin was overjoyed, knowing full well that this was all thanks to the heavenly tribulation. After enduring it, the bronze figure gained sentience and acquired spiritual roots, allowing it to resonate so perfectly with his spiritual light. Long Lin couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had acted early; otherwise, if the old man had recovered even slightly, given the bronze figure's immense power, even ten Long Lins wouldn't have been a match for it.
"Master..."
The bronze figure, having received Long Lin's spiritual light, slowly opened its eyes, a hint of spirit appearing in them. It immediately bowed to Long Lin.
"Haha, you are my first clone, I should give you a name!"
Long Lin laughed.
"Please bestow a name upon me, Master!"
the bronze clone replied, its eyes gleaming, staring intently at Long Lin.
Long Lin smiled slightly. He wasn't consciously controlling the clone's actions and speech, so it had its own thoughts—thoughts bestowed upon it by Long Lin. In the future, Long Lin would only need to constantly eliminate any unfavorable thoughts from the clone's mind to maintain control.
"Hmm,"
Long Lin agreed, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Since you were born in this Qin Kingdom, how about we call you Qin Hun?"
"Qin Hun greets Master, thank you for bestowing this name!"
the bronze clone knelt and said loudly. Its voice was somewhat similar to Long Lin's, but because it was made of bronze, its voice had a unique metallic magnetism.
"Alright, get up!" Long Lin chuckled. Although this was just a clone, Long Lin now treated it as an independent person. After all, many things would require its independent action in the future.
"Yes, Master!"
Qin Hun said, standing up respectfully beside Long Lin.
Long Lin thought for a moment and said, "Qin Hun, your identity is special, so it's not advisable for you to show your face in public. I'll pass on a set of Power Scripture True Techniques to you. From now on, you'll cultivate in my Ruyi Void Bag. Only come out when I give the order."
"Yes, Master!"
A smile appeared on Qin Hun's somewhat stiff face as he replied. He was originally a bronze body, without the worries of eating, drinking, defecating, or sleeping, and he could survive without air. This made him many times better than those spirit birds.
Because Qin Hun and Long Lin's wills were originally one, the Power Scripture True Techniques could be copied into Qin Hun's will crystal light in just a breath if Long Lin wished. Long Lin passed on the Power Scripture True Techniques and cultivation method to Qin Hun, and with a slight recitation of the incantation, Qin Hun transformed into a white light and disappeared into his Ruyi Void Bag.
"Brother Long!"
Long Lin put away Qin Hun and was about to leave when he heard a sweet voice calling from afar. It was Ling Yun's voice.
"Here!"
A smile appeared on Long Lin's face as he immediately replied.
Seeing that the heavenly tribulation had dissipated, Lingyun came to find Longlin. Upon seeing him, she said, "Brother Long, are you alright?" Then, glancing at the canyon, she asked, "Where's the bronze statue?"
Longlin naturally wouldn't tell her what had just happened, and casually replied, "The heavenly tribulation was indeed powerful; it actually reduced the bronze statue to ashes. What a pity..."

Gold Brick!)

Chapter 132 Lingyun's Scheme
Update Time: 7-5 16:14:15 Words: 1768

Back at the alchemy workshop, Lingyun had already prepared a table full of delicious food.
"Brother Long, let's have a drink to calm our nerves!"
Lingyun gently poured a cup of wine for Longlin. Her beautiful eyes, filled with a subtle affection, glanced at him.
"What trick is that old hag up to now?"
Long Lin thought to himself, feigning surprise and flattery, chuckling, "Oh, thank you so much, Junior Sister. How could someone of your delicate constitution do such rough work?"
Ling Yun poured herself a cup of wine and sat down beside Long Lin, smiling, "Brother Long, why are you being so polite? With Senior Brother Wu Ye not here, it's just the two of us in this alchemy workshop. If Junior Sister doesn't take care of Senior Brother, who else can she take care of?" She
picked up her wine cup with her delicate fingers, saying, "Brother Long, let me toast you!"
Long Lin smiled, "Alright, Junior Sister is so kind, I, as her senior brother, naturally cannot let her down." He then picked up his wine cup, clinked it with Ling Yun's, and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few rounds of drinks, with a beauty beside him, Long Lin became slightly tipsy. Looking at the beautiful Ling Yun before him, he couldn't help but feel a little restless.
Lingyun was dressed today in a light green, short-sleeved, front-opening blouse, a pink skirt, and silk stockings that accentuated her firm, slender legs—a striking and eye-catching look, typical of an ancient beauty.
"Brother Long, who exactly was that little bronze figure today? It attracted such a great calamity!"
Lingyun's face flushed with a spring-like blush, two rosy cheeks rising from her lips with the effects of the wine, making her as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water. Her large eyes blinked as she softly asked Long Lin.
"Hmph, is his attempt to curry favor with me today just a ploy to get information about this heavenly tribulation?" Long Lin thought to himself, but chuckled and said, "I don't know either... but that bronze man was indeed incredibly powerful, calmly repelling the heavenly lightning and disappearing deep into the mountains. Of course, I didn't see it clearly, for fear that the bronze man would discover me!"
Ling Yun nodded, then pondered for a moment and said, "I'm a little worried. This happened within the Alchemy Workshop's territory; could something have gone wrong?"
Long Lin's words were evasive and offered no valuable information, so Ling Yun had no choice but to continue coaxing him, hoping to get him to reveal something.
"What could happen?" Long Lin frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Junior Sister, you're overthinking it. That bronze figure has probably already left our alchemy workshop long ago."
"I'm just worried about the worst," Ling Yun said, "I'm thinking, should we report this to the seniors of the Demon Subduing Hall?"
Long Lin shook his head and said, "No need. That bronze figure's origins are unknown. Perhaps some senior expert is practicing here. If we rashly report it and displease him, we'll be in big trouble!"
Long Lin saw that Ling Yun was very concerned about the bronze figure, clearly knowing that it was no small matter, and he was even more unwilling to let more people know, because if a large-scale investigation were to begin, the bronze figure might not be safe even in his empty Ruyi bag.
Seeing Long Lin's deep hesitation and reluctance to elaborate, Ling Yun secretly thought that asking too many questions might arouse his suspicion. She smiled and said, "Brother Long is so thoughtful! Let's just pretend we didn't see anything! Come, let me toast you again."
After a cup of wine, Ling Yun's face flushed even more, her bright eyes gazing fervently at Long Lin. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she took out a delicate white jade box from her bosom and said, "Brother Long, today my sister from the alchemy workshop brought me a newly refined power-enhancing pill, saying it's very effective for absorbing spiritual energy and strengthening magical power. I couldn't bear to part with it myself, so I'm giving it to you, Senior Brother!"
"Old hag, who would believe this is some kind of power-enhancing pill!"
Long Lin thought to himself. His mental power was now far greater than before, and his sensitivity to events was several times stronger. Ever since he discovered in his mental brilliance that Ling Yun was the Old Mother of Jiushan, he had been particularly wary of her. He just didn't know why she was trying so hard to win him over, so he hadn't exposed her.
"Hehe, how could I dare? Junior Sister, your magical power is inferior to mine, so it would be better if you took this power-enhancing pill!" Long Lin said with a smile, declining the offer.
Ling Yun gave Long Lin a reproachful look and said, "Senior Brother, this was specially given to you, why are you refusing? My sister can refine this power-enhancing pill for me."
Long Lin understood. Seeing that Ling Yun insisted on giving him the pill, he figured there must be something strange about it, so he smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll accept your offer!"
Ling Yun's anger turned to joy, her eyes sparkling slightly, her shy and timid appearance making her seem pitiful. She then opened the jade box with her jade fingers, revealing the vermilion pill with dark green patterns.
"My sister said that this power-enhancing pill is best taken with wine, so why don't you take it now, Senior Brother?" Ling Yun pushed the jade box in front of Long Lin and poured him a cup of fine wine.
"Hmph, fine, since my constitution is immune to all poisons anyway, I might as well risk it and try the taste of this Power-Enhancing Pill! Now that I have the Bronze Man clone by my side, I'm not afraid of what you can do to me!"
Long Lin thought to himself, then smiled and agreed, taking the Power-Enhancing Pill from the jade box and swallowing it
with the wine. The pill entered his throat, quickly dissolving in the wine, like a spiritual liquid as Long Lin swallowed it. Surprisingly, his spiritual energy was abundant, and he didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, a warm feeling rose from his dantian, making his sensitivity to external spiritual energy seem even stronger.
"Strange, could this really be a Power-Enhancing Pill?"
Long Lin wondered. Was this spiritual energy using the pill to harm him? Or was his intention flawed? Was this spiritual energy not the Old Mother Jiushan at all?
(Author's note:
It's hot, brothers, take care to avoid the heat!)

Chapter 133 A Clever Plan
Update Time: 7-5 16:15:55 Words: 1765

At that time, he personally witnessed the killing of Old Mother Jiushan, whose true form had transformed into a hawk and was lying there. However, he also believed that his perception was correct.
This pill had somewhat disrupted Long Lin's senses.
"Senior Brother Long, how do you feel?"
Ling Yun blinked and asked with a smile.
"Hmm, very good! Indeed excellent!" Long Lin stretched and yawned, circulated his energy to regulate his breathing, smiled at Ling Yun, and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister."
Ling Yun smiled sweetly and said, "Senior Brother, why are you so polite! Besides, I will need Senior Brother's help in the Alchemy Workshop in the future..." Ling
Yun looked around with her beautiful eyes and stepped closer, her large eyes staring at Long Lin without any hesitation.
Long Lin naturally knew that Ling Yun was aroused. He had been a little tipsy earlier, and the pill had made his lower abdomen warm, which made him have a wicked thought. Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled Lingyun into his arms.
"Mmm..."
Although somewhat taken aback by Long Lin's boldness, Lingyun didn't struggle. Her eyes burned with desire, and she murmured, calling out to her senior brother.
"Junior sister, do you know you'll kill someone like this!"
Long Lin's large hand encircled her slender waist, while the other roamed her back, whispering in her ear.
"Senior brother, what are you saying!"
Lingyun blushed even more at Long Lin's teasing, shyly lowering her head and bumping into his arms.
Long Lin laughed heartily, his large hand roaming freely. Before long, Lingyun was weak and powerless.
Lingyun secretly chuckled to herself, "Boy, no matter how powerful you are, you've finally fallen for my tricks! In a moment, I'll make you obediently follow me."
It turned out that the pill was indeed a power-enhancing pill, but it contained other ingredients. This was specially developed by Zhao Gao to target male cultivators. Once these men took it, they would be seduced by a beautiful woman, causing them to lose their sexual desire. When the latent effects of the drug took hold, they would lose all their magical power, suffering unbearable pain. There was no antidote, except for another pill developed by Zhao Gao that could alleviate the pain and restore their power, but this pill had to be taken once a month.
Zhao Gao used this method to subdue a large number of cultivators, and his influence had already infiltrated every corner of the Imperial Observatory.
"Ugh..."
Lingyun tried to straighten her body as much as possible, letting Long Lin ravage her. At this moment, she was patiently waiting for the effects of the drug to take hold.
"Senior brother, come quickly..."
While secretly plotting how to deal with Long Lin, Lingyun feigned moans to match his movements, occasionally letting out soft, seductive moans with glazed eyes.
At this moment, Long Lin was also extremely clear-headed. His mind flashed with a constant barrage of spiritual light, severing all lewd thoughts and leaving only the clearest, most lucid thought to maintain his composure.
However, while maintaining his clarity of mind, he naturally wouldn't let this vibrant and alluring feast of beauty slip by. He devoured it without restraint, specifically targeting the tenderest parts.
After a frenzied game of mutual caressing at the table, Ling Yun was already drenched in sweat, her eyes glazed, her hairpins disheveled, and her clothes in disarray. The buttons on the front of her tight-fitting emerald green blouse were undone, revealing her small breasts, which twitched and jiggled, their red eyes gleaming alluringly like grapes.
Long Lin picked up Ling Yun and headed towards the elegant room in the cave, where there was a large bed, enough for the two of them to indulge in their desires for the entire night. Long Lin believed that how they "indulged" was entirely up to him. Ling Yun, on the other hand, believed that it was up to her.
Roughly stripping Lingyun of her clothes, Lingyun lay before Long Lin like a white lamb, bleating as if saying, "Wolf, come and eat me!"
Long Lin chuckled, pounced, and whispered in Lingyun's ear, "Junior sister, now it's your senior brother's turn to take care of you!"
His large hand gently probed downwards, only to find the river raging, a devastating flood that had submerged vast stretches of downstream riverbanks.
Long Lin laughed, "Junior sister, the dike has breached, what should we do?"
Lingyun, who had been expectantly waiting for Long Lin, had lost all trace of shyness, replaced by an incredibly alluring and effeminate beauty. A seductive glint appeared in her eyes as she murmured, "Senior brother, of course we have to plug it quickly, or I won't be able to hold on any longer."
"That old hag, she's finally showing her true colors!"
Long Lin chuckled inwardly, for Ling Yun's gaze just now was exactly the same as the one she had on the guard altar that day. It was known that no matter how a person's appearance changed, their eyes were rarely altered. This completely dispelled any lingering doubts Long Lin had about Ling Yun, concluding that she was undoubtedly the Old Mother of Jiushan from that day.
Now that he was certain, there was no need for politeness; he would capture her first and then subject her to severe torture. However, before that, Long Lin needed to silence her.
"Ah..."
Long Lin mercilessly sealed her mouth, immediately eliciting a frown and a near-wailing cry from Ling Yun. But none of this could soften Long Lin's heart in the slightest...

Chapter 134 Unharmed
Update Time: 7-6 17:55:18 Words: 3309

Ling Yun never expected that Long Lin would be so strong, so strong that she couldn't keep up. In a short time, she had already lost control five times, her legs were weak and numb, and her whole body was powerless, but Long Lin was still full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue. Moreover, even if she begged for help, Long Lin would not listen at all, he was as fierce as an iron wolf, wishing he could smash her, this white sheep, to pieces and swallow her whole.
"Ah... Senior Brother, be gentle!"
Ling Yun murmured, her body limp on the brocade couch, letting Long Lin attack from behind. She began to doubt the efficacy of the pill, why it hadn't taken effect yet.
While Long Lin was vigorously plowing Ling Yun's small plot of land, he was also secretly wondering, could the pill he took really be a power-enhancing pill?
Whether it was a power-enhancing pill or not was no longer important, because with his current strength, the effect of such a pill would only give him a temporary boost. Looking at the dying Lingyun beneath him, Long Lin felt a surge of satisfaction at having avenged himself. He remembered that day, when his strength was inferior to that of the Old Mother Jiushan, he was almost drained of his vital energy by her. Then, the Old Mother Jiushan ruthlessly attacked him; if Zhang Miaohan hadn't intervened in time, he would probably be a skeleton beneath Qirang Mountain by now.
"Hmm..."
Thinking this, Long Lin channeled his true energy, the powerful force of which struck like iron. Lingyun immediately felt dizzy, her vision gradually darkening, and she felt like she was about to faint.
She had no choice but to use her magic, her slender white legs clamping tightly together, like crab claws refusing to let go even at the cost of their prey.
Long Lin felt a tremor in his lower back, a surge of pleasure reaching his head. He smiled coldly, suddenly relaxed, and a surge of heat gushed out.
"Boom..."
The collision of true energy and magical power caused Lingyun to be shaken senseless by the intense impact, finally losing consciousness and going black out. Long Lin, having exhausted all his strength, felt the true energy crystal in his dantian suddenly dim, and all his magical power vanished instantly.
"Not good!"
Long Lin thought to himself, immediately sensing the anomaly. Using his mental energy to investigate, he discovered that a viscous black mist had already enveloped most of his dantian, spreading throughout his body along the channels of true energy.
"Damn it, I've fallen for it!"
Long Lin gritted his teeth, because without true energy, he was powerless to resist the invasion of the black mist. As the black mist spread, a sharp, needle-like pain began to pierce his entire body, causing him to wince and groan.
Looking at Lingyun, who lay unconscious on the brocade couch in a starfish position, Long Lin wanted nothing more than to slap her twice. This wife was truly vicious and cunning; clearly, there was something fishy about that power-enhancing pill, which had allowed him to take advantage of her vulnerability, leaving her defenseless.
Fortunately, the old hag was already unconscious; otherwise, he would likely be completely at her mercy. Long Lin's mind raced. He realized it wasn't safe here. What if
Lingyun woke up, leaving him defenseless? He would be at a great disadvantage. So, gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain, he left the elegant room without even bothering to straighten his clothes, heading down the mountain.
He found a secluded spot to hide. Only then did Long Lin close his eyes, circulating his inner energy to dispel the pain while adjusting his breathing, waiting for his body to expel the toxins naturally.
Exhausted from his battle with Lingyun on the couch, he relaxed and unknowingly fell asleep.
In his dream, he suddenly felt himself falling from the sky and landing beside a pond. Two women were playing in the clear water, their beautiful figures on full display. But when Long Lin looked closer, these scenes vanished, replaced by a fiery inferno.
Within this inferno, the flames were unbearably hot, and in the center of the inferno was a stone platform. On a tall pillar of spiritual light on the platform lay a woman bound by iron chains.
"Qing'er..."
The woman was bound and unable to move, her parched lips struggling to breathe, her expression of pain unbearable to look at.
Long Lin was about to rush forward when he suddenly felt a chill. He abruptly opened his eyes and found himself completely soaked. It turned out that a light drizzle had begun to fall.
Rainwater streamed down his cheeks, trickling into his lips, tasting salty and bitter. Long Lin struggled for a moment, then realized that his strength had mostly recovered. When he used his mental energy to examine the black energy within his body, he found it had vanished without a trace, and the true energy crystal was shining brightly again.
"Hiss..."
Long Lin pursed his lips, channeled his true energy, and pointed a finger. A beam of crimson true energy shot out from his fingertip, striking a large rock and shattering it into pieces.
Now that his body was unharmed, Long Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Ling Yun, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Senior Brother Long... Senior Brother..."
At this moment, Ling Yun's voice called from afar.
Through the misty rain, Long Lin saw Ling Yun holding an umbrella, looking around for him.
"You old hag, still pretending to be innocent with me!"
Long Lin cursed inwardly. A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he feigned pain, curling up on the ground and groaning, crying out, "Junior Sister... Junior Sister, save me!"
Hearing Long Lin's cries of pain, Ling Yun's pretty face darkened. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Finally, I've subdued this brat. All my efforts in offering myself and serving you weren't in vain. Hmph, you enjoyed my good fortune, now it's time to suffer."
Although she thought this, Ling Yun anxiously called out, "Senior Brother Long, what's wrong?" and immediately ran towards the direction of Long Lin's cries for help.
Long Lin struggled and rolled in the mud, his face filthy, a mixture of sweat and rainwater swirling around him. His contorted face, contorted with pain, was particularly gruesome. Seeing Ling Yun, he desperately tried to grab her with his mud-covered hands, crying out, "Junior Sister, save me!"
Seeing Long Lin's state, Ling Yun secretly rejoiced at the success of her plan. She immediately feigned surprise and stepped forward to help him up, asking, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
"I don't know… my whole body aches, and I'm powerless!"
Long Lin said laboriously, feigning difficulty as he stood up with Ling Yun's support.
"How could this happen? Let's go back!"
Ling Yun tossed aside her umbrella and struggled to support Long Lin, slipping and sliding towards their lodgings, completely disregarding the mud-stained clothes and the soaking rain.
Looking at Ling Yun's hypocritical act, Long Lin sneered inwardly, "Old hag, still putting on an act for me? I'll see how long you can keep this up."
Upon entering the elegant room, Lingyun helped Longlin remove his mud-stained clothes, wiped him clean, and changed him into a clean set. She changed herself as well, then asked, "Senior Brother, are you feeling better now?"
Longlin took a deep breath and shook his head, saying, "My whole body still aches..."
Seeing that Longlin was indeed showing signs of the medicine taking effect, Lingyun was secretly pleased. After a moment's thought, she said, "I have a pain-relieving and evil-warding pill here. Take it first."
With that, she took a jade bottle from her pouch, poured out a white pill, and fed it to Longlin.
Longlin knew it was certainly not a good medicine, but he didn't refuse. He opened his mouth and swallowed it, secretly using a wisp of his true energy to envelop the pill, preventing its medicinal power from dissolving.
Seeing Long Lin take the pill, Lingyun brought him a cup of water and fed him a couple of sips before asking, "Senior Brother, are you feeling better?"
Long Lin was actually fine, but he pretended that his pain had lessened and sighed slightly, asking, "Junior Sister, who gave you that power-enhancing pill? There's definitely something wrong with it!"
When Long Lin asked, two crystal tears welled up in Lingyun's eyes, and she knelt down before him, saying, "Senior Brother Long, I'm guilty, please punish me."
Long Lin sneered inwardly. He'd seen this kind of thing countless times—getting what you want first and then begging for forgiveness! He just didn't know what Lingyun was up to, so he feigned surprise and asked, "Junior Sister, what's going on?"
Lingyun knelt pitifully on the ground, sobbing, "To tell you the truth, I was used and had no choice." "Tell me what happened slowly, get up first!"
Long Lin said after a moment's thought.
"Senior brother, if you don't promise to spare Lingyun, Lingyun will kneel until she dies rather than get up!"
Lingyun said stubbornly, wiping away her tears.
Long Lin sighed slightly and said, "Junior sister, we are like husband and wife. Just tell me what's wrong, I won't blame you!"
Seeing Long Lin's promise, Lingyun stood up, tears streaming down her face before she even spoke. She then cried out, "Actually, it was all Prime Minister Zhao Gao who forced me to do this."
"Zhao Gao?"
Long Lin was slightly taken aback. He was very familiar with the name Zhao Gao, but he knew he had never met him. Why would Zhao Gao want to harm him?
Lingyun nodded and said, "Actually, as soon as Senior Brother Long came to the Alchemy Workshop, Zhao Gao noticed you. So he threatened my parents' lives, forcing Lingyun to harm my elder brother so that she could serve him."
Long Lin sneered inwardly. This old hag really knows how to make up stories. Doesn't she know that I, Long Lin, am also the ancestor of acting and making up stories? After a moment's hesitation, he chuckled and said, "Zhao Gao is the current prime minister. Countless people want to serve him but have no way to do so. I'm overjoyed that the prime minister has taken a liking to me, Long Lin! You could have just told me directly; why resort to such methods!"
Long Lin's words surprised Ling Yun, who said, "It's all Ling Yun's fault. I used to think that Brother Long was so focused on cultivation that he wouldn't have minded entering the mortal world." Long Lin
smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, you don't need to feel guilty. But was that pill the antidote?"
Ling Yun's face darkened, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "I dare not lie to you, Senior Brother. Actually, that was only a temporary antidote. The first pill I gave you to enhance your power was actually the Nine-Turn Spirit-Binding Pill, which has no antidote. Unless you take this Spirit-Cleansing Pill once a month, you will lose all your magical power, suffer excruciating pain, and be worse than dead."
Long Lin frowned and remained silent.
Lingyun hurriedly added, "But don't worry, Senior Brother, as long as we are truly willing to serve the Prime Minister, we will receive Qingling Pills every month and will not suffer."
"Very well!"
Long Lin sighed and said, "This is all fate, so I can't blame you. Hmm, Junior Sister, when can I see the Prime Minister?"
(Author's note:
Brothers, take your time reading, no rush... I'm also stressed! My eyes are red and my head is spinning from being so busy at work!)

Chapter 135 Magic Weapon Rifle
Update Time: 7-7 11:28:55 Words: 3608

Lingyun said softly, "The Prime Minister has gone on an inspection tour with the First Emperor and is not currently in Xianyang."
"Hmm? If he doesn't return for a month, won't I still have to suffer from the pill poison?"
Long Lin immediately said.
Lingyun smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, to tell you the truth, not only you, but I've also been poisoned by the pills. I rely on these Qingling Pills every month to survive. As long as we follow orders, someone will naturally deliver the Qingling Pills at the end of each month."
Long Lin nodded and said, "Alright, junior sister, so what is the task the Prime Minister gave us? It can't be as simple as just taking me under his command!"
Lingyun's beautiful eyes flashed charmingly as she looked at Long Lin and said, "Now that there are only the two of us left in this alchemy workshop, this matter is easy to handle. We just need to retrieve the treasures from the alchemy workshop and hand them over to the Prime Minister."
Actually, Zhao Gao only ordered her to investigate Long Lin's background when she came to the alchemy workshop; he didn't assign her any specific task. But now that she had already subdued Long Lin, wouldn't it be too much trouble for her if she didn't take the treasures from the alchemy workshop into her own hands?
"You old hag, you're dreaming!"
Long Lin thought to himself, but smiled slightly and said, "This alchemy workshop is completely empty. There's no treasure here. I haven't been here long, and Daoist Wuye hasn't told me anything."
"How could that be?"
Ling Yun frowned slightly and asked.
Long Lin also sighed and said, "It's said that the disaster a year ago destroyed the alchemy workshop. For the past year, Daoist Wuye has only been drinking and having fun, keeping the subterranean fire burning. The so-called alchemy workshop doesn't even have a bit of gold. What treasures could it possibly have?"
"Hmm, but don't worry. The alchemy workshop has been operating for so many years; there must be some things left behind. It's just that Daoist Wuye is hiding them well, and we don't know it yet. We'll definitely find out in the future!"
Ling Yun nodded and said.
"By the way, what is the Prime Minister planning to do with all these talented people?"
Long Lin asked.
Lingyun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Long, do you still remember the battle at Qirang Mountain?"
Long Lin feigned surprise and said, "How did you know I went to Qirang Mountain?"
"Haha... Of course I know."
Lingyun was now completely convinced that Long Lin had been subdued by her, and disregarding her image, she smiled alluringly and said, "Senior Brother Long, do you remember your romantic encounter with Old Mother Jiushan at the Altar of Warning?"
"Hmm?"
Long Lin took two steps back, frowned slightly, and carefully examined Lingyun, saying, "Who exactly are you?"
Lingyun's alluring eyes were fixed on Long Lin, "I am Old Mother Jiushan, and speaking of which, I even had a past relationship with Senior Brother Long!"
"Old Mother Jiushan?... How is that possible? Aren't you dead?"
Long Lin exclaimed in surprise. Now that Lingyun had said it herself, Long Lin confirmed that what he had known in his mind was the truth. However, he still had to keep up the act; otherwise, if Lingyun realized that he had been prepared all along, things would be quite bad.
“That day, I was indeed killed by that girl Zhang Miaohan, but fortunately I had a way to escape with my soul, so I escaped this calamity. Later, thanks to the Prime Minister's mercy, he gave me a Spirit Condensation Pill, which allowed me to reshape my physical body, and that's how I came to have the Spirit Charm I have today,”
Lingyun said.
“I see!”
Long Lin sighed. “The Prime Minister truly cherishes his subordinates. It seems that following the Prime Minister will not be a loss for me.”
"Of course, as long as we serve the Prime Minister loyally, he will not treat us unfairly!"
Lingyun said.
"Hmm, so the incident at Qirang Mountain last time was also planned by the Prime Minister?"
Long Lin asked after a moment of contemplation.
Lingyun's beautiful eyes flickered, and she walked up to Long Lin, smiling, "Since we are now on the same path, there's no need to hide it from each other. That's right, the attack on Qirang Mountain last time was indeed planned by the Prime Minister, but Senior Brother Long and Zhang Miaohan accidentally injured my little sister, so it failed at the last minute."
Long Lin chuckled to himself. I thought to myself, "Why would Zhao Gao come looking for me for no reason? Even if that Old Mother Jiushan wanted revenge, she should have gone after Zhang Miaohan, not me, Long Lin. So that's why." At the time, she said, "Actually, I was unaware of the situation that day. I only heard that the Holy Maiden was praying to Heaven, so I secretly took a shortcut to the guard altar to peek at the legendary Holy Maiden's beauty. I never expected to offend the Prime Minister's important matter. I deserve to die."
"Since that's the case, Senior Brother Long, there's no need to blame yourself. The Prayer Hall's protective array is now activated, making it impossible to enter. I think the First Emperor's eastern tour is related to selecting a new Holy Maiden for Prayer. As long as we diligently cultivate in this alchemy workshop, we will definitely be able to serve the Prime Minister. When we achieve merit and establish ourselves, let alone wealth and honor, the Prime Minister will not hesitate to bestow upon us even immortal herbs and spiritual herbs. At that time, wouldn't it be easy for us to become immortals?" Lingyun said.
It can be said that her words were like giving Long Lin a huge warm embrace. After all, wealth and honor held little allure for these cultivators, but the temptation of immortal herbs and spiritual herbs was fatal. After all, such a thing is extremely beneficial for cultivation and is incredibly rare. If one obtained even one, one might truly ascend to immortality.
"Hmph, don't try to seduce me with that!"
Long Lin cursed inwardly. He didn't buy into Ling Yun's grand promises. Even in his previous life in the modern world, Long Lin had utterly despised Zhao Gao.
Zhao Gao was indeed a notorious figure in history. He was probably responsible for the infamous "calling a deer a horse" incident, transporting salted fish back to Xianyang after the First Emperor's death, supporting the young Ziying to the throne while keeping the eldest son, Fusu, outside the Great Wall, thus controlling the court and ultimately leading to the Qin Dynasty's demise. He was an absolute villain.
However, he did agree to Ling Yun's suggestion to temporarily cultivate in the alchemy workshop. After all, Zhao Gao had many spies; if he were to attack Ling Yun now, he certainly wouldn't stay in the alchemy workshop for long. Besides, he hadn't yet found one of the Nine Phoenix Auras. If his deduction is correct, she should undoubtedly be in the Qin Palace.
"Hmm, Lingyun is absolutely right. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest,"
Long Lin said.
Lingyun blinked, glanced at the seemingly exhausted Long Lin, and suddenly smiled charmingly, "Senior brother, would you like your junior sister to accompany you?"
"This little vixen!"
Long Lin chuckled inwardly, "Haven't you had enough of my prowess yet? But I don't have time to play with you, you old hag, right now." He immediately said, "I'd better not. The toxins in my body have just been neutralized, and I'm feeling weak all over."
Lingyun smiled and said, "Alright, senior brother, you should rest well. Lingyun also needs to start practicing!"
Today, she had successfully subdued Long Lin and had been nourished by his favors, so she was in a good mood and it would be the best time to cultivate. Long Lin
took his leave and returned to the alchemy workshop. He went back to the stone chamber of True Person Wuye, glanced outside to make sure no one was there, then stretched out a layer of faint true energy to envelop the room before opening the jade chamber and going inside.
He knew he couldn't enter the jade chamber often, so he took this opportunity to memorize all the weapon-refining secrets. Fortunately, he had already reached the level of refining intent into light, making him able to remember such secrets almost instantly.
About half an hour later, Long Lin emerged from the jade chamber with a mysterious smile on his face. This time, he had not only memorized all the weapon-refining secrets, but he had also found the method for refining the Frostfire Spirit Iron within the jade slips.
After leaving the jade chamber, Long Lin went straight into the third-level fire chamber. He was now eager to refine the Frostfire Spirit Iron.
The lack of magical treasures had always been Long Lin's fatal weakness. Now, he finally had the opportunity to remedy this weakness, and he certainly couldn't miss it.
From the chamber, Long Lin had obtained all the necessary refining aids. The Frostfire Spirit Iron also lay securely in his Ruyi bag.
"Qin Hun, come out!"
Long Lin carefully closed the door to the fire chamber and then placed a layer of true energy restriction on it. He then murmured an incantation to his empty bag. As soon as
he finished speaking, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and a seven-foot-tall bronze figure, resembling Long Lin in appearance, appeared before him. This was none other than Long Lin's avatar, the bronze figure Qin Hun.
"Qin Hun greets Master. What are your orders?"
Qin Hun's voice boomed as he addressed Long Lin.
Long Lin glanced at Qin Hun, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Qin Hun, I'm going to refine a magic weapon in a moment. You'll help me. I'll teach you all the necessary skills!"
"Yes, Master!"
Qin Hun replied, his face expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow.
Immediately, Long Lin transmitted the method for refining the Frosty Heaven Spirit Gold to Qin Hun through a mental telepathic connection. Then, he took the Frosty Heaven Spirit Iron from his empty bag, supported it with crimson true energy, and slowly placed it into the tall furnace.
This was a grayish-white chamber filled with flames. Although called a chamber of flames, it didn't seem hot at all; on the contrary, it was as cold as ice. Fortunately, Long Lin's strength had greatly increased. With the constant flashing of the true qi crystals within his body, crimson true qi continuously formed a protective barrier around him, enough to block the icy air.
His clone, Qin Hun, was made of copper and iron, impervious to heat and cold, and was completely unaware of this icy air.
The mechanism was activated, and a grayish-white flame immediately ignited on the Frost Heaven Spirit Iron. While watching the Frost Heaven Spirit Iron, Long Lin took out various miscellaneous items from his empty Ruyi bag, such as Frost Crystal Cinnabar, Rhombus Grass, and White Jade Lead Powder, and handed them to Qin Hun, telling him when to add which material.
After instructing Qin Hun, Long Lin then focused his mind, his palms moving, and a stream of crimson true qi slowly emanated, shooting into the furnace like a beam of light. As
soon as the true qi entered the furnace, the grayish-white flame immediately burned even more fiercely, and the surrounding air instantly became even colder.
Meanwhile, on the hexagonal surface of the mental crystal in Long Lin's mind, the shadow of a silver-white rifle bayonet gradually appeared.
The bayonet was inscribed with a dragon and nine phoenixes pattern, drawn by Long Lin by infusing the energy of the dragon and phoenixes. Although the radiance of one phoenix was dim, he could infuse it into the bayonet after absorbing the energy of the ninth phoenix.
Made of Frost Heaven Spirit Iron and imbued with the power of a dragon and nine phoenixes, this magic weapon, purely offensive, should be no less powerful than the Taiyi Spring and Autumn Gourd of Wuye Daoist.
The crimson true energy that Long Lin unleashed from his palm gradually changed along with the image displayed on the mental crystal in his mind, guiding the Frost Heaven Spirit Iron in the furnace to change shape.
Under the refining power of the gray-white earth fire, the Frost Heaven Spirit Iron had softened and gradually took shape with Long Lin's movements.
"Frost Crystal Cinnabar... White Jade Lead Powder..."
Following Long Lin's instructions, Qin Hun continuously threw packets of materials into the furnace.
The input of materials continuously strengthened the Frostfire Spirit Iron, and many impurities were gradually refined out, turning into smoke and dust. The spirit iron, already shaped into the form of a rifle bayonet, became increasingly white and shiny.
The piece of spirit iron was only the size of a palm, but under the refining of the gray-white flames, the spiritual energy it exuded was incredibly rich, which truly surprised Long Lin. He secretly sighed that this was indeed no ordinary item.
After Qin Hun put the last bag of materials into the furnace, Long Lin's crimson true energy, like a knife, rapidly carved the cold spirit iron.
The bolt and safety took shape little by little, and the pure white barrel was as smooth as flowing water, practically perfect.
Of course, Long Lin wouldn't discard the leftover materials after carving, because they were the materials he used to refine bullets.

Chapter 136 Tyrannical Butterfly Guard
Update Time: 7-8 12:05:38 Words: 3392

Xianyang, Imperial Palace.
The commotion caused by Consort Yu's mysterious disappearance had gradually subsided, and it seemed that no one in the palace remembered that there had ever been a consort named Chu Yu'er here.
Consort Yu's palace was deserted. The lake where fish once swam and lotus flowers filled the pond was now withered and desolate due to neglect.
Because the First Emperor had not yet returned from his eastern tour, the Yu Fei Palace was sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter. Of course, this seal could keep others out, but it couldn't stop Long Lin.
At this moment, Long Lin stood by the lake, quietly thinking about the days he spent with Chu Yu'er.
"Brother Long..."
A soft voice sounded, and a woman with a slender figure and beautiful face slowly walked out from behind Long Lin. She was wearing the unique attire of a palace lady, and it was Zi Ran.
Long Lin turned around and smiled slightly, "Zi Ran, you've come! I knew this seal wouldn't be a problem for you."
Zi Ran smiled and said softly, "This is all thanks to Sister Xue Niang. Without her help, how could I have gotten in?"
Long Lin nodded; it must have been Xue Niang who brought her in. Because Zi Ran didn't know martial arts or magic, entering this sealed courtyard would have been difficult.
As she spoke, Zi Ran had already reached Long Lin, and a fragrant breeze wafted over, making one's heart flutter.
"Brother Long, what brings you here this time?"
Zi Ran asked, her bright eyes fixed on Long Lin.
Long Lin chuckled, "Nothing much, just missed you, so I came to see you." He couldn't very well say, "I suspect you're the possessor of the Ninth Phoenix Qi, and I'm here to make love to you," could he?
"Really?"
Zi Ran's eyes narrowed as she glanced at Long Lin, a hint of smugness flashing across her face, before turning her head back to look at the lake. "Brother Long, look, since Consort Yu left, the lake water has become murky."
Long Lin sensed the hidden meaning in Zi Ran's words and smiled faintly. He knew that although Zi Ran appeared delicate, she was actually very strong inside. Her ability to quickly establish herself in the treacherous and turbulent imperial palace, and even become a lady-in-waiting, was largely due to her calmness and sharp mind.
"Of course it's true. It's been several days since we parted that day. I wonder if you're well..." Long Lin said.
“Brother Long, I've also longed for that kind of carefree life. Like Consort Yu!”
Zi Ran turned around, her fragrant body approaching Long Lin, and said softly. Her temperament was like a lotus in water, always so calm and serene.
“Like Consort Yu?” Long Lin pondered for a moment. Only the two of them knew about him sending Consort Yu away. Could it be that Zi Ran had discovered something about it? However, since things had come to this point and there was no one else around, he had no need to hide anything. He smiled and said, "Although Chu Yu'er has left, she is not without constraints. Fortunately, from now on, her fate is in her own hands."
Zi Ran smiled calmly and said, "That's not bad either. Unlike this palace, where danger lurks every day, making it hard to breathe. Since you can send Yu'er away, why can't you send me away?"
Long Lin smiled and said, "You can leave anytime you want."
"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Ran's eyes, but then she sighed and said, "Unfortunately, you don't even know if you can leave now."
Long Lin frowned slightly, not knowing what Zi Ran meant by that. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a rustling sound and very light footsteps from dozens of feet away. His heart sank and he said, "Zi Ran, did you bring those people here?"
Zi Ran made no attempt to hide anything and looked at Long Lin and said, "Brother Long, I had no choice. You know that in this palace, some things are not something I can do at will."
“Alright!”
Long Lin agreed, then suddenly smiled, “Then I’ll help you get rid of those who don’t want you to do as you please!” He took two steps back and said to the men in black hiding behind the trees and artificial hills, “Come out!”
Zi Ran, seeing Long Lin openly challenging her, showed a slight surprise on her face and sighed inwardly. She murmured to herself, “Brother Long, I’m sorry, this really isn’t what I meant.”
“Hahaha…”
A burst of wild laughter, a flash of white light, and a young man in brocade robes with a handsome face appeared before the artificial hill. It was none other than the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, whom Long Lin had brutally beaten that day.
“Brother Long, how have you been?”
The Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, said with a cold, murderous glint in his eyes, but a forced smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, a series of footsteps sounded, and dozens of men in black surrounded Long Lin.
Their movements were swift, appearing like the wind without warning, showing that they were all highly skilled individuals with magical abilities.
"So it's the Sixth Prince. You had your fill of lake water soup the other day, do you want another one?"
Long Lin sneered. Seeing Zi Ran's pale face, he knew she'd been blackmailed by the Sixth Prince, and he felt no remorse.
The Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, laughed wildly again, then said fiercely, "The lake water soup last time was indeed unforgettable. But it's only fair to return the favor this time, Brother Long. However, if Brother Long were to become part of this lake water soup, wouldn't the fish and shrimp like it even more?"
Long Lin coldly sneered, "Perhaps… but the one who wants to turn me, Long Lin, into soup is definitely not you, Sixth Prince!"
"Very well…" The Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, nodded fiercely, a sinister glint in his eyes. Suddenly, he said, "Golden Butterfly Guards, heed my command!"
"Yes, sir!" the men in black replied in unison, the gray butterfly patterns on their sleeves suddenly flashing with golden light. Their strength far surpassed that of the Butterfly Guards who had attacked Long Lin in previous attacks.
"Take this brat down and throw him into this pond to feed the fish!"
the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan said coldly.
"Yes!"
the men in black answered in unison, immediately grabbing their weapons and rushing forward.
Four others, however, stepped out of the battle circle and summoned their magical swords.
True energy surged, and even before the swords arrived, their sharp aura had already enveloped Long Lin.
Long Lin smiled faintly and said, "The magical weapon I just forged hasn't been consecrated yet. Today, I'll use your blood to sacrifice to my magical spear!"
With that, his body slightly lowered, and with a single grab, he retrieved the silver-white rifle bayonet from his empty pouch. The bullet,
resembling a crystal bead, was chambered. Long Lin sidestepped the blade of a man in black who lunged at him, leaped back three steps, and pulled the trigger.
With a muffled thud, a circle of silver-white light shone from the bayonet, and the bullet, flashing white light, whistled out, instantly piercing the body of the nearest man in black.
The man in black cried out in pain and fell to the ground, his entire body quickly enveloped in a white light. When the light dissipated, he was frozen solid. Long Lin flashed forward and kicked him lightly, shattering the ice statue into pieces.
As the white light from the rifle bayonet spread, the temperature in the air plummeted, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Several of the lower-level men in black shivered from the cold, and their attacks on Long Lin immediately slowed down.
"Hmm, this magic weapon forged from the Frostfire Spirit Iron is indeed extraordinary!"
Long Lin chuckled to himself, casually tossing the rifle into the air. The rifle bayonet seemed to possess a spirit of its own, circling once in the sky before striking the four magic swords to the ground with a series of cracking sounds.
The men in black were not weak in their cultivation, but the quality of their magic swords was far inferior to Long Lin's rifle, so they crumbled upon contact.
While the men in black were still in surprise, Long Lin had already begun his attack. With a surge of intent, Long Lin controlled a magical rifle hovering in mid-air, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the surrounding men in black. A faint crimson glow, emanating from his True Qi, emanated from his Power Scripture. This True Qi
was specifically designed to counter magical power and also possessed a strong effect against physical force. The men in black closest to him were suddenly chilled by the icy air, struggling to breathe and becoming sluggish. Although they relied on their numbers to try and overwhelm Long Lin, they hadn't expected the crimson Qi on his arms to be impervious to swords and blades, injuring anyone who touched it.
Screams erupted as six or seven men in black were struck down by Long Lin's crimson Qi, their weapons broken and them dead. At this moment, the four men in black on the outer perimeter were also struck by the magical rifle, instantly freezing into solid ice.
The Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, paled. He hadn't expected his elite Butterfly Guards to be so easily defeated by Long Lin. Moreover, the power of Long Lin's strange magical weapon was terrifyingly immense.
"Are you satisfied with this result, Sixth Prince?"
Long Lin slowly turned around, glanced at the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan, and smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, the magical rifle was already in his hand, its silvery muzzle pointed at Yu Xuan.
"Brother Long..."
Zi Ran never expected that Long Lin's cultivation and magical power had reached such a level. The Sixth Prince's Butterfly Guards were known for their strength, loyalty, and ruthlessness, almost comparable to the hidden guards trained by Qin Shi Huang. But against Long Lin, they were almost powerless to fight back.
"Sister Zi Ran, do you think this Sixth Prince is so trash? What use is he?"
Long Lin turned to Zi Ran and smiled calmly.
"Haha... Not bad, not bad, truly impressive skills!"
At this moment, the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, praising Long Lin, and said, "Long Lin, with such magical power, why not serve me? I, Yu Xuan, will treat you as a true friend, and you will have all the riches, honors, and miraculous medicines you could want."
"Is that so? Sounds good..."
Long Lin clicked his tongue, pondered for a moment, and said, lowering the bayonet of his magic weapon rifle, no longer pointing it at Yu Xuan.
A glint flashed in Yu Xuan's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "If Long Lin is truly willing to serve me, you can become the commander of the Butterfly Guard."
"Hmph... the mere Butterfly Guard is nothing to mention. If you, Sixth Prince, can help me ascend the throne of Great Qin, I might consider serving you!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Long Lin's eyes as he said.
"Hmph, how dare you! Long Lin, I'll let you taste the power of my Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword!"
The Sixth Prince Yu Xuan did not expect that Long Lin had just been mocking him, and he immediately flew into a rage, shouting loudly.
"Very well... I'd like to see what real skills the Sixth Prince, whom I threw into the lake last time, truly possesses!"
With that, he raised his magical rifle bayonet again, its dark muzzle once more aimed at the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan.
Yu Xuan snorted coldly, his hands suddenly forming a strange hand seal, and he shouted, "Thunderbolts of immense force, boundless heavenly glory, protect me on all sides, slay the evil enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap resounded in the clear sky. Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared in the previously clear sky, obscuring the sunlight. Thunder rumbled within the cloud, and a bolt of purple lightning crashed down. Long Lin felt the surrounding spiritual energy surge and the vortex become chaotic, and his heart sank slightly. This omen was clearly the atmosphere before the appearance of an extremely powerful magical artifact.

Chapter 137 Killing Yu Xuan
Update Time: 7-10 17:07:42 Words: 3388

The Sixth Prince's Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword was forged in imitation of the ancient immortal weapon, the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Although it was a replica, its power was still extremely formidable. As soon as
the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword appeared, it exuded a powerful aura capable of shattering heaven and earth. Before this Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, the rifle magic weapon forged from the Cold Heaven Spirit Iron of Long Lin immediately paled in comparison.
A purple lightning bolt struck down with a thunderous roar, and the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan now possessed an ancient sword about three feet long, its entire body shimmering with purple light and pine-patterned patterns. The front of this sword was engraved with the sky, and the back with the earth, with yin and yang blades, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people dare not look directly at it.
With the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan's aura instantly surged. Hidden within the lightning, he resembled a celestial being, coldly sneering at Long Lin, "Long Lin, what do you think of my Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword?"
Although Long Lin was also shocked by the power of the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, he chuckled, "I don't think it's anything special!"
Before he finished speaking, without even taking a breath, he abruptly pulled the trigger, and two bullets transformed into two points of white light, already shooting towards Yu Xuan.
Before the bullets even arrived, the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword automatically protected its master, its blade emitting two beams of purple sword light that detonated the two bullets.
A burst of spiritual energy erupted. Although the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan was unharmed, he was still somewhat startled. Enraged, he roared, "Long Lin, you dared to ambush me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
With that, he tossed the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword into the air, instantly multiplying into two, then four, then eight. Eight purple sword lights blotted out most of the sky, slashing down upon Long Lin.
Long Lin's rifle, its silver blade flashing, detached from his hand and expanded tenfold in mid-air, directly meeting the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword. Long Lin himself moved like a fish, lightning-fast, towards the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan.
With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword struck the magical rifle, unleashing a burst of intense light. As the light dissipated, the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword reformed into a single weapon, while a faint sword mark appeared on the rifle's shaft.
Long Lin had already realized that the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword was a magical artifact, and that his Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle was slightly inferior. Therefore, the moment he released the magical artifact, he charged towards the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan, for close-quarters combat was his forte. His
crimson true energy fist, accompanied by a howling sound, hurtled towards the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan. The Sixth Prince Yu Xuan's prized Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword was still in mid-air; once withdrawn, it would face a double attack from both the magical rifle and Long Lin. His expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Long Lin to actually dare to charge.
"Good lad, come on!"
The Sixth Prince Yu Xuan gritted his teeth, his entire body shimmering with a clear light, as if he were wearing a radiant battle armor. He simultaneously unleashed a ball of magical light, meeting Long Lin's attack.
Long Lin chuckled and dodged, instantly withdrawing his crimson true energy fist. He turned and circled around to the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan's side.
The Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, hadn't expected Long Lin's move to be a feint. However, the ball of magic power had already been unleashed and he couldn't stop it. Just as he was realizing the danger, he received a heavy blow to the shoulder.
"Sixth Prince, you're still too green!"
Long Lin smiled sinisterly. His crimson true energy was specifically designed to counter magic power, so the Sixth Prince's thin layer of magic power armor was utterly useless to him.
The Sixth Prince felt a sudden, sharp pain in his shoulder, and his body was involuntarily thrown into the air, falling into the distance. Without hesitation, Long Lin lunged forward, delivering a powerful kick to his chest, sending him tumbling into the lake.
At that moment, a deafening clap of thunder roared across the sky, and a bolt of purple lightning struck the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, squarely on the head. Yu Xuan screamed in agony, his body turning ashen and ashen, like a roasted chicken, before he slowly sank into the lake.
Long Lin sighed, then looked up to see the dark clouds dissipate, and the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword slowly descended, hovering beside him.
"The magic weapon has lost its owner… the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword is mine!"
Long Lin chuckled, grasping the hilt, examining it, and then storing it in his empty Ruyi Bag. With a flick of his wrist, the magic weapon rifle also fell back into the Ruyi Bag.
The lake was calm, with only the occasional ripple caused by a gentle breeze.
"Brother Long..."
Zi Ran rushed out from a corner, calling to Long Lin, her face pale, seemingly frightened.
"Zi Ran, it's alright. This Sixth Prince Yu Xuan isn't that powerful!"
Long Lin pulled Zi Ran into his arms, looking at her still-shaken eyes.
"Brother Long, be careful the First Emperor might retaliate."
Long Lin smiled dismissively, saying, "The First Emperor is probably too busy taking care of himself right now, how could he have the mind to retaliate against me!" He then led Zi Ran into the palace where Chu Yu'er had once lived.
Without the Sixth Prince's interference, Long Lin could finally carry out his plan.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Zi Ran hummed softly, Long Lin bringing her a pleasure she had never experienced before.
Long Lin, however, was secretly wondering, was he wrong? This Zi Ran wasn't the Phoenix Body at all, because he now discovered that there was no Phoenix Qi within her.
"Very well, since that's the case, then I'll just have to go find the true Phoenix Body again!"
Long Lin sighed inwardly, then mustered all his strength and launched a full-scale attack on Zi Ran. Zi Ran moaned softly, constantly twisting her feminine body to meet Long Lin's movements.
She had now completely surrendered herself to this man. Because this man had actually killed the illustrious Sixth Prince Yu Xuan for her sake. What else could she possibly worry about?
"Brother Long, take me away from here!"
Zi Ran nestled in Long Lin's arms and said softly.
Long Lin nodded and said, "Okay, but it will take some time. I have more important things to do now."
"Yes, I'll listen to Brother Long!"
Zi Ran said obediently.
After feeding Zi Ran, Long Lin quietly left. He was now going to find the true Phoenix Body.
Knowing that Zi Ran was not a Phoenix Body, Long Lin suddenly lost his goal. Who would be the true Phoenix Body? He suddenly found himself wanting to see Qing'er again, hoping that Qing'er could give him some clues.
He even longed to see Wu Ye, hoping that the True Immortal Wu Ye could help him. However, Qing'er never appeared, and he wondered how the True Immortal Wu Ye was doing, accompanying the First Emperor on his eastern tour. He had to rely on himself. As
night fell, Long Lin sat cross-legged in his quiet room, the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword resting flat on his lap. This Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword was indeed a treasure; the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan's inferior magic was truly unworthy of it.
At this moment, Long Lin had already channeled his mental power into the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, only to discover that the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan hadn't actually imbued the magic weapon with his spiritual consciousness. In other words, he was controlling the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword purely with magical power and techniques.
Long Lin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword had turned against its master when the Sixth Prince was in trouble.
At this moment, Long Lin channeled a wisp of his mental energy into the magic weapon, instantly infusing his body with an overwhelming influx of spiritual power. The true energy crystal within his dantian suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forming a powerful vortex around it that continuously absorbed the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword.
"Hoo..."
Long Lin exhaled, feeling an unprecedented abundance of true energy within his body. The original true energy crystal shone even brighter. True energy continuously flowed from the hexagonal crystal, circulating throughout his body before returning to the crystal.
"Hmm, this Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword is indeed extraordinary. It's a pity it's such a waste in the hands of that good-for-nothing Sixth Prince Yu Xuan!"
Long Lin thought to himself. With a thought, a flash of light appeared in his empty Ruyi Bag, and Qin Hun appeared before him.
"Master, what are your orders?"
Qin Hun replied.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Qin Hun, this sword is called the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword. It's a superior magic weapon. I wonder if you can wield it?"
A glint flashed in Qin Hun's eyes as he replied, "Thank you for bestowing this magic weapon upon me, Master. I think it'll be no problem."
Long Lin nodded. Qin Hun was his clone, and their wills were of the same kind, their minds connected. Wielding the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword shouldn't be a problem for him. He then handed the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword to him, saying, "From today onwards, this Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword belongs to you! You must study it carefully and make good use of it." "
Yes, Master!"
Qin Hun replied, then channeled a wisp of true energy into the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword. The Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword emitted a faint, ancient red light, then automatically flew up and attached itself to Qin Hun's back.
Seeing that Qin Hun had already subdued the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, Long Lin felt relieved. He then ordered Qin Hun to return to his empty Ruyi Bag, calmed his mind, and took out the Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle.
The Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle's bayonet had sustained some damage from its clash with the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, and Long Lin was now tasked with repairing it.
While the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword was powerful, it was crafted by the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, and therefore could not be easily revealed. That was why he had entrusted it to his clone, Qin Hun. Qin Hun was his life-saving technique, used only as a last resort, and once used, it would ensure no one survived.
He believed that even a soul would be completely shredded by the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, leaving no trace.
Long Lin's mental energy flowed through the Frostfire Spirit Iron Rifle's bayonet, and a silvery-white light gradually shone across its surface. The original sword marks slowly healed, and the lost spiritual energy was gradually replenished, finally restoring it to its perfect, flawless state.
Having repaired the Heavenly Emperor Limitless Sword, Long Lin felt parched and couldn't help but recall the alluring and charming little demon, Ling Yun.
The current Lingyun is more tender and alluring than the former Old Mother Jiushan, her body more radiant, especially her rosy cherry lips and plump little mouth, which can steal a man's soul. Moreover, she possesses the allure of the former Old Mother Jiushan, making her an absolute stunner capable of captivating anyone.
Thinking about this, Long Lin felt hot and simply stood up and walked outside. At this moment, he wondered what Lingyun was doing.
Quietly leaving the alchemy workshop and crossing the deep ravine, Long Lin activated his Intent Sutra, the crystal light of his mind emitting a faint glow, and his intent instantly spread out, covering a distance of a hundred feet.
This alchemy workshop is now rarely visited, and apart from the falling leaves and chirping insects, no other sounds can be heard. However, after taking a few steps forward, Long Lin heard a faint woman's soft moan amidst the falling leaves and chirping insects, along with the sound of splashing water.
Long Lin's blood boiled instantly, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he tiptoed quickly toward the elegant room nestled among the rocks.
Since it was late at night and there was no one else around the alchemy workshop, the curtains in Lingyun's elegant room were not drawn. From a distance, an alluring light could be seen shining through.
