After Yu Wenjing left, Chen Ling arrived with the constables. They dragged away the corpses of Zhong Ling and the others, cleaned up the battlefield, and knowingly pinned it all on a bloody vendetta between martial artists!
When they saw Lin Changsheng, their expressions were incomparably respectful.
"Chen Ling committed countless crimes. The city should have received the account book by now."
Watching Chen Ling and the others leave, Lin Changsheng held a fire starter in his hand, slung Dawnblade and the Iron-Tire Bow across his back, locked the door, and headed for Lone Wolf Mountain.
After being simplified, Six Killing Saber Slashes only needed him to kill living creatures to gain experience.
Did the little bugs in the mountains, the birds in the air, and the fish in the water count as living creatures?
"What's that...?"
Suddenly, Lin Changsheng looked up at the sky, shock appearing in his eyes.
High in the sky.
A massive flying vessel over five zhang long tore through the heavens, flying toward Southern Fujian City!
Behind the flying vessel came another six pale-blue flying swords. White-robed figures stood upon them, turning into shooting stars and vanishing in the blink of an eye!
"Why are so many cultivators heading to Southern Fujian City?"
Lin Changsheng watched the flying vessel and the six sword cultivators disappear beyond the horizon, doubt filling his eyes.
"Once my strength rises a little further, I'll head to Southern Fujian City!"
Lin Changsheng thought to himself.
At present, he still had several martial arts that had not reached the Perfect Stage. Once they all did, he could leave Pasture City. He knew clearly that if he wanted to become a cultivator, ride a sword beyond the nine heavens, and drink wine while treading through song, he had to step outside and see the wider world!
Grass-Skimming Technique experience +1!
Grass-Skimming Technique experience +1!
+1!
"At this rate, if I walk through the grass until afternoon, Grass-Skimming Technique will probably reach the Perfect Stage."
Lin Changsheng looked at the panel before him with satisfaction.
He deliberately walked over the grass and discovered that every step he took upon it granted three to four experience points. This rate of increase was indeed not bad!
At the same time.
Because Dawnblade was on his back, his Wind-Thunder Saber Technique had already reached the Perfect Stage!
"Eh, ants?"
Suddenly, Lin Changsheng saw a line of pitch-black ants marching across the lawn ahead, seemingly heading off to carry some prey.
"These ants are living creatures too. If I find their nest and set it on fire, can I gain experience points?"
His eyes lit up at the thought. He immediately followed the ants' trail and discovered that they were carrying a dead frog.
Five zhang away from the dead frog, Lin Changsheng spotted a washbasin-sized anthill. Ants packed it densely, crawling in and out along the nest's passages.
"These black ants are all pests. I'll try it and see!"
With that thought, Lin Changsheng gathered some dry branches and pine needles, piled them over the anthill, took out his fire starter, and lit them.
Crackle!
Crackle!
Before long, fierce flames blazed up, swallowing the huge anthill whole. The venomous black ants inside had no time to flee and burst apart in crackling pops.
Six Life-Slaying Slashes experience +1!
Six Life-Slaying Slashes experience +1!
Six Life-Slaying Slashes experience +1!
In an instant, Lin Changsheng saw red notifications constantly popping up on the panel.
[Six Life-Slaying Slashes at Perfect Stage!]
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the red notifications on the panel finally stopped, and one last prompt appeared, showing that Six Life-Slaying Slashes had reached the Perfect Stage!
"This is too easy! After one fire, my Six Killing Saber Slashes reached the Perfect Stage! This feels great!"
Lin Changsheng was immensely satisfied as he looked at the red display on the panel.
At the same time.
A vast torrent of information surged into Lin Changsheng's mind, forming the figure of a man in white wielding a long saber and continuously practicing within his consciousness.
It was precisely the saber techniques and cultivation insights of Six Life-Slaying Slashes. The instant those cultivation insights appeared, they fused with Lin Changsheng's consciousness.
At that moment.
Lin Changsheng felt as though he had practiced Six Killing Saber Slashes for decades.
[Detected two Perfect Stage martial arts of the same type, Six Killing Saber Slashes and Wind-Thunder Saber Technique. You may spend 30 taels of silver to fuse them into a new saber technique. Fuse them?]
Just then, Lin Changsheng saw another prompt pop up on the panel.
"Thirty taels of silver can fuse them?"
Lin Changsheng narrowed his eyes and immediately selected the confirm button.
[Six Killing Saber Slashes and Wind-Thunder Saber Technique are fusing... Fusion successful. Obtained Thunderclap Slash!]
Less than sixty breaths after Lin Changsheng selected confirm, red notifications flashed across the panel again.
"Thunderclap Slash!"
Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up when he saw the prompt.
Just from the name alone, Thunderclap Slash sounded quite impressive.
At the same time.
Another torrent of information merged into Lin Changsheng's mind. It was precisely the cultivation method for Thunderclap Slash.
Lin Changsheng inspected the panel with his consciousness.
[Great Dao Made Simple: Level 1] [Lin Changsheng: 17/55] [Cultivation: First-Class Realm (10945/12500)] [Techniques: Sun-Moon Breathing Method (Perfect Stage), Golden Bell Shield, incomplete fifth level (Perfect Stage)] [Martial Arts: Nine Stars Linked (Arrow/Hidden Weapon) (Mastery Stage 2346/2500), Iron Sand Palm (Perfect Stage), Flying Eaves Lightness Skill (Perfect Stage), Azure Snake Sword Technique (Perfect Stage), Thunderclap Slash (Entry Stage 0/1000), Grass-Skimming Technique (Mastery Stage 1253/2500)] [Alchemy: Qi-Replenishing Pill (Perfect Stage)] [Spend a certain amount of silver to simplify techniques, martial skills, and so on.] [Status: Yin Energy Invasion (Weakened)]
"Thunderclap Slash discovered. Spend 30 taels of silver to simplify Thunderclap Slash?"
Just then, a red prompt popped up on the panel.
"Simplify!"
Lin Changsheng immediately selected the confirm button.
When he left, he had guessed that simplifying techniques would require silver, so he had brought more than a hundred taels in his bundle. The moment he selected confirm, thirty taels vanished!
About ten breaths after Lin Changsheng selected confirm, another red prompt popped up on the panel!
"Thunderclap Slash simplified into beating drums?"
Seeing the prompt, Lin Changsheng blinked and muttered, "Beating drums brings thunderclaps? That... does seem to make a little sense? So I have to buy a drum and start beating it?"
However, Lin Changsheng felt that if he started beating drums for no reason, what would other people think?
It was too loud and would disturb people.
Unless.
He joined one of those funeral or wedding bands?
"Whatever. I'll buy a drum first!"
Lin Changsheng thought to himself.
At worst, he could carry the drum into Lone Wolf Mountain, beat it a few times, and grind Thunderclap Slash's experience to the maximum.
"I'll buy the drum after I return. First, I'll go skip stones by the Grand Canal!"
After thinking it over briefly, Lin Changsheng thought to himself.
Skipping stones could increase Nine Stars Linked's experience. Besides, there was grass by the canal. Standing on it could also increase Grass-Skimming Technique's experience, killing two birds with one stone.
Now that the Sun-Moon Breathing Method had reached the Perfect Stage, he no longer needed to bathe in moonlight at night.
He planned to use the silver he had to buy more vitality points and increase his cultivation experience, then try to see whether he could advance into the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
As far as he knew.
Above a First-Rate Master was the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
Lin Changsheng knew clearly that if he wanted to become a cultivator, he had to raise his cultivation as much as possible. It would be best if he could advance into the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
After all, the journey to the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect was long. The stronger he was, the safer he would be!
