A Weapon for Fighting Immortal Masters

Lin Weiyuan walked slowly forward, his hands behind his back. Shen Jingchuan saw his father-in-law, quickly jumped out of the car, and stepped forward to greet him with clasped hands.

"Father in law."

"Don't worry about me."

Lin Weiyuan waved his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the machine gun:

"You've made such a commotion, I just came to take a look. I heard they're going to attack the Government Army troops tonight?"

Shen Jingchuan nodded. "However, I can't take direct action, much less get involved. I only made this even more powerful weapon so that they would have a better chance of success."

Lin Weiyuan walked halfway around the car, stroking his beard and nodding to himself.

"Hmm, this machine gun is more powerful than the machine gun mounted on the stockade wall."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand something, his eyes lighting up:

"I understand now. One is a gun, and the other is a cannon. Both have the word 'mechanical device' on their front, but a cannon is always more powerful than a gun, isn't that right?"

Shen Jingchuan chuckled upon hearing this.

"Indeed, my father-in-law saw through it at a glance; he's a truly insightful man."

Lin Weiyuan, pleased with the praise, put his hands behind his back and said contentedly, "That's right. Alright, I'll go back first. You guys continue preparing, don't worry about this old man."

Having said that, he strolled away slowly.

The crowd in the square dispersed, leaving only Hu Tieniu and the Lin brothers, Lin Shan and Lin Yue. Shen Jingchuan jumped into the car, unloaded the shells from the machine gun one by one, and took out boxes of stock from his Storage Ring and placed them on the square.

Besides the ones given to Xiao Mingshu, there were also some that had been used earlier, and the rest were all here, totaling more than 15,000 rounds.

Lin Yue shouted out as soon as he saw it.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you just tell me there wasn't much? How can you call this not much?"

"This stuff is one less to fire once it's used up; once it's gone, it's gone." Shen Jingchuan glared at him. "Are you only going to fight this one battle tonight? And then there won't be any more battles?"

Lin Shan nodded in agreement.

"That's right, second brother. We never know when we might need it, so we have to save it."

"There's one more thing, listen up, all of you."

Shen Jingchuan's tone turned serious:

"This thing isn't just for attacking city gates. What I fear most is that the imperial court breaks the rules and sends cultivators down to interfere. Those people can fly, so your swords, spears, and arrows won't be able to hurt them at all. That's when we'll use it."

"Remember, get close and shoot. At this distance, they can't defend against it. I've tried it myself; unless they're top-tier experts, one burst of bullets is usually enough to take them down."

Lin Shan hesitated for a moment.

"But didn't you say that immortal masters shouldn't interfere in mortal battles?"

"Brother, let me tell you something honestly."

Shen Jingchuan looked at him:

"The rules of this world are set by the strong. If they abide by the rules, that's good; but if they insist on breaking them, what can you do about it? So don't put all your eggs in one basket with the rules; you have to be prepared for anything."

Shen Jingchuan then took out a submachine gun and two pistols from his Storage Ring. He handed the submachine gun to Lin Shan and took out the accompanying bullets as well, placing them on the ground.

"This is Qingyao gave you; all the bullets are here."

He then handed the two pistols to Lin Shan and Lin Yue respectively, and taught them on the spot how to load, aim, and reload. Both of them were used to using guns, and they learned in no time.

"This pistol is rarely used."

Shen Jingchuan said, "Keep it as a backup plan. We can use it in emergencies, like when the most dangerous situation arises, or when our spear is dropped or knocked away. It's not very powerful, but it's lightweight and useful in close combat."

After explaining, he turned to Hu Tieniu, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Boss, I'm sorry, there are only two left. There's none for you."

"I don't care for such a trinket."

Hu Tieniu grinned and pointed to the machine gun mounted on the vehicle:

"I still like that guy. As long as Lin the Second doesn't try to take him from me, everything will be perfect."

The three of them laughed upon hearing this.

Shen Jingchuan wanted to add, "I'll be keeping an eye on things from the shadows," but he swallowed the words back. Saying too much might make them dependent on him.

Hu Tieniu picked up the conversation.

"By the way, young master, we're making our move tonight, what do you think...?"

Shen Jingchuan shook his head, speaking frankly:

"I won't get involved. How you fight, how it ends, and what the future holds are all your decisions. Just go for it. All I can do is try to prepare as many supplies as possible for you. I absolutely cannot take direct action."

Shen Jingchuan stopped interfering and left with a single sentence.

You can prepare it yourselves.

After saying that, he went back to the backyard.

In the courtyard, Lin Qingyao and Bai Ruoli were sitting and talking when Yue'er came out of her room and started preparing dinner. As soon as she saw Shen Jingchuan enter, she put down her work and ran over excitedly.

"Young Master!" Her eyes sparkled, "I think I've made great progress!"

Shen Jingchuan reached out and ruffled her hair.

Lin Qingyao spoke up with a smile.

"Look how pleased she is with herself. I just said a couple of things to her, but I can't control her now."

Upon hearing this, Yue'er's face paled instantly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran to Lin Qingyao in a few steps, kneeling down with a thud.

"Miss, please don't say that. Yue'er will be your servant for life. I just want to practice more and become stronger as soon as possible so I can help the young master."

Lin Qingyao hadn't expected her to take it seriously, so she quickly bent down and pulled her up.

"Alright, alright, you're even crying now."

She wiped the corners of Yue'er's eyes for her:

"Didn't your young master say that training like that will hurt your health and that you need to balance work and rest? I said a few words to you, and you're crying? You think I can't say anything to you?"

"I can speak, I can speak." Yue'er nodded, sobbing. "I understand."

Shen Jingchuan found it somewhat amusing and walked over.

"Alright, from now on, cultivation requires a gradual approach; you can't rush it."

He changed the subject:

"Come, today I'll teach you a few things. Cultivation alone isn't enough; you also need to learn some minor Law Technique, and some offensive and defensive techniques."

All three pairs of eyes lit up immediately.

Shen Jingchuan raised his finger and first touched Lin Qingyao's brow, then slowly transmitted his Divine Sense to her. He was transmitting the operating method of the "Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Linked Formation," which only those with Five Spirit Roots could practice, making Qingyao and Yue'er perfect for it.

In addition, commonly used basic Law Technique such as Cleaning Technique, Fireball Technique, and Qi Gazing Technique, along with a few rudimentary offensive and defensive techniques, were also passed on.

After passing the message to Qingyao, he turned around and repeated the process with Yue'er.

Both of them kept their eyes closed, their heads throbbing and aching, but they gritted their teeth and endured it without uttering a sound.

When it was Bai Ruoli's turn, Shen Jingchuan shook his head.

"Your Spirit Root is different from theirs. Just focus on mastering the 'Profound Ice Soul Condensation Instruction' for now. Don't try to do too much at once. I can teach you a few commonly used minor Law Technique, though."

After saying that, he pointed a finger at Bai Ruoli's brow and taught her only common minor Law Technique such as Cleaning Technique and Qi Gazing Technique.
