New and dark light years

Chapter 150 Sacrificial Sword
Li Lin placed the brocade box over and said, "A jade sword."

"Can I see it?"

Li Lin opened the box.

A green jade sword appeared before Li Yanjing's eyes.

She gently touched the jade sword with her hand, her expression showing great joy.

"Is there anything special about it?" Li Lin asked.

"The aura emanating from this sword is very similar to your own blood essence." Li Yanjing subconsciously licked her red lips. "I like it very much."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll give it to you."

Li Yanjing looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Rather than giving it to me, it's more like turning it into a small altar."

"An altar?" Li Lin asked, somewhat surprised.

Li Yanjing raised the jade sword high, and sunlight filtered down the blade, revealing intricate patterns on its interior.

At first glance, these patterns appear chaotic, but upon closer inspection, they possess a mysterious quality.

“This is a magic sword, and also a spirit-summoning sword.” Li Yanjing said with a hint of amazement, “I don’t know if it’s a celestial sword, but I can sense that if I can stay here for a period of time every month, there will be many benefits.”

"Can't you stay here indefinitely?"

Li Yanjing said helplessly, "My body won't be able to take it. After all, I am a ghost, not a spirit."

"Then you can stay here for now," Li Lin said with a smile.

Li Yanjing thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you keep the sword at home all the time, and when you go out, put me in the sword and take me with you? That way, I can still help you with things."

She has her own little schemes.

Once Li Lin took her outside, she could avoid the Tree Fairy and Second Mistress and beg Li Lin to give her some blood essence to eat.

Just thinking about it is exciting.

"I don't know swordsmanship."

Li Yanjing was stunned: "Then what do you want this sword for?"

"I'm planning to get a copy of the Fufeng Sword Manual," Li Lin said with a smile. "I'll study this sword occasionally, and then give it to my wife so she can learn a set of sword techniques. The Meow Meow Fist isn't really suitable for women; it's only good for self-defense. But sword techniques can be used to kill enemies."

Li Yanjing smiled and said, "You are so good to your wife."

"It's alright," Li Lin waved his hand.

At this moment, Huang Qing walked over from the side and asked, "What's going on? You seem so happy."

"I told you to learn a sword technique."

Huang Qing was somewhat surprised: "My lord, I've already learned Tiger Fist quite well..."

She really wanted to say that this was very disrespectful to women's virtues.

After all, what respectable family's wife practices martial arts?

She only learned Tiger Fist because she couldn't persuade the official to stop her.

Now they want me to learn swordsmanship too? If word gets out, that won't be good.

After all, she was taught the Three Obediences and Four Virtues from a young age.

“You should learn it,” Li Lin said with a smile. “After learning martial arts, not only will you have enough strength to protect yourself, but you will also become more beautiful.”

"My lord is lying to me," Huang Qing said helplessly.

Women who learn martial arts, whose hands are covered in calluses, their skin becomes rough and thick, and their skin even turns black.

She didn't want that.

Li Lin knew what she was thinking and said, "Trust me. If it's just ordinary martial arts without a corresponding cultivation method, you'll naturally become like that after learning it. But I have special cultivation methods here. You didn't believe in dual cultivation before, but now you're enjoying it."

"My lord!" Huang Qing blushed and glanced at Li Yanjing beside her, saying coquettishly, "I'll learn it, but don't say such embarrassing things."

That's more or less.

Li Lin nodded in satisfaction: "You and Yan Jing chat for now, I'll go back to my study."

“Oh, right!” Huang Qing suddenly said, “Last night, Patrolman Bai sent over a package. It was very heavy, and I didn’t dare to open it without permission, so I put it under the bed.”

Li Lin laughed and said, "Those are gold ingots. Go and count how many there are."

"Gold ingots?" Huang Qing asked in surprise. "Where did you get them?"

She was prepared to endure hardship before she married into the Li family.

To everyone's surprise, they discovered that the Li family not only owned a large mansion, but also more than twenty gold ingots.

This is no small amount.

Although they were far from being as well-off as the Huang family, they were still able to live comfortably. Now, her husband had acquired a large pile of gold ingots, and the family had suddenly become wealthy.

"Don't worry, it's clean."

Huang Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Lin took the jade sword to the study, held it up, and stared at its patterns.

He wanted to see if he could trigger the proficiency effect using this method.

But after nearly half an hour, there was still no reaction to the pattern.

He reluctantly put down the jade sword in his hand and let out a long sigh.

This thing doesn't offer any 'shortcuts' like the previous round magical artifact.

Li Lin was certain that the patterns on the jade sword were absolutely extraordinary.

However, because it seemed to be beyond his 'comprehension', his special ability was not triggered.

He put down the jade sword and continued writing annotations for the Thunderstrike Spell.

The next day, after Li Lin finished his routine patrol, he arranged to meet Yan Han at the restaurant.

"This is an annotation of the Lightning Strike Spell." Li Lin handed over the newly written booklet.

"Thank you." Yan Han also handed over a handwritten booklet.

After flipping through a few pages, Li Lin laughed and said, "This sword technique is indeed very profound. I've struck gold."

Yan Han cupped his hands in greeting: "I dare not accept such praise. The Thunder Strike Curse is a righteous thunder technique, which cannot be compared to the mere Wind Sweeping Sword Technique."

Li Lin asked, "The Lightning Strike Spell isn't something Yan Xunshou wanted to learn, is it?"

Yan Han laughed and said, "Of course. Few people who practice Yin-type techniques first can learn the Thunder Strike Spell, including me. This is for my younger brother to learn. He has quite a talent for martial arts."

"I haven't yet asked where Governor Yan is from!"

"North of Lu County, Jishui City!" Yan Han's expression clearly fell.

As far as Li Lin knew, Lu County had been captured by the Northern Di people two years ago.

"Don't worry, we'll fight back someday," Li Lin reassured him.

Yan Han forced a smile.

Because of this little incident, Yan Han was in a bad mood. The two chatted casually for a while and then parted ways.

Li Lin took the sword manual home and handed it to Huang Qing.

After looking at it for a while, Huang Qing said embarrassedly, "I don't understand..."

Although there are diagrams, it is indeed quite difficult for someone who has never learned martial arts to learn swordsmanship by following the diagrams.

There was no other way, so Li Lin had to learn it himself first and then teach them.

Li Lin immediately began to look through it.

In just a short while, he had already grasped the basic routine of the Wind-Soothing Sword Technique.

He immediately picked up a wooden sword and showed off a set of moves.

Huang Qing and Hong Luan watched intently from the sidelines without blinking.

Li Lin had already finished his move for a while before the two of them reacted.

Huang Qing blushed slightly and remained silent, her eyes filled with admiration.

Hongluan walked over and handed her a towel: "Husband, you should only use a sword from now on."

"Why!"

"You have an extraordinary demeanor," Hongluan said with a smile.

Li Lin was somewhat puzzled: "Don't I look good when I'm wielding a gun?"

"It looks good, but it's not as striking as when he's wielding a sword."

Li Lin smiled and said, "I will practice swordsmanship with you all from now on, but you absolutely cannot neglect spearmanship."

Huang Qing walked over and said, "Hong Luan, don't make things difficult for your husband. Although I don't know martial arts, I know that the spear is the king of weapons. As a county magistrate and a spirit hunter, my husband naturally has to compete with others, so it's better to use a spear."

Hongluan nodded, indicating that she understood.

At that moment, Zhang Afu said, "Sir, Magistrate Jiang is waiting outside. He says he has important business to discuss with you."

"Please invite him to the study." Li Lin turned to Hongluan and said, "Go and prepare tea."
