New and dark light years

Chapter 228 Paper Army

After several experiments, Li Lin learned the purpose of this thing: to condense spiritual energy.

The reason it's usually useless is simple: there's too little spiritual energy in the world, so it can't gather enough.

However, it is possible in minor spiritual veins.

The spiritual liquid he condensed was not as effective as the spiritual energy he attracted through his own practice.

There is a significant difference in quality.

"This thing doesn't seem to be very useful," Li Yanjing said softly.

Li Lin shook his head: "Actually, it's quite useful. At least it can collect jade liquid, which I'll definitely be able to use for alchemy in the future."

"That's true!"

Li Lin looked at the spirit vein hut and laughed, "Looks like we'll have to build another small spirit vein."

The reason why Li Lin has never expanded the small spiritual vein is actually quite simple.

no need.

The current Foundation Establishment method absorbs spiritual energy too slowly, and the spiritual energy provided by the small spiritual veins is more than enough, so he has not thought of expanding it.

But now that there's an extra jade bowl, building another small spiritual vein and collecting more spiritual energy and jade liquid will definitely be useful.

Li Yanjing wrapped her arms around Li Lin's arm and rubbed her soft skin against his arm: "When you've collected enough, give me two or three drops to eat."

"Then you won't need to absorb my blood essence anymore?"

"No way!" Li Yanjing immediately objected, "Then I don't want the spiritual energy liquid."

She had no intention of giving up Li Lin's life force.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

Li Lin instructed his servants to begin collecting materials, as he was preparing to start refining pills again.

Moreover, they were refining and polishing extensively, striving to elevate their alchemy skills to the 'mastery' level.

The next day, he went to work the early shift.

Then Jiang Jili called him over.

"County Commandant, are you trying to work me to death?" He stared intently at Li Lin.

Li Lin asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I haven't even sorted out the household registration of tens of thousands of people who moved to Beiliu County, and you've recently brought in some gangsters for me to interrogate." Jiang Jili looked at him angrily: "That's bad enough, but yesterday you brought me a huge pile of account books. Are you deliberately trying to torture me?"

"Didn't we give you a lot of money?"

"You'd let me touch that thing?"

"If you don't touch it, who will?" Li Lin laughed. "Anyway, I won't touch it."

Jiang Jili narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean..."

"You understand."

Jiang Jili's expression softened considerably: "Okay, I'll take half, and I'll balance the accounts for you."

"Thank you very much."

"Easy," Jiang Jili chuckled. "Anyway, it's ill-gotten gains. If the monk can take it, why can't I?"

Having said that, he mustered his strength and went to deal with the accounts of Kongji Temple.

Li Lin then led more than twenty constables to patrol the streets.

Although he was already the military commander, he also held the position of county lieutenant, so he had to perform patrol duties every month.

He habitually went for a walk around the market.

The improved public security in Yulin County is largely due to his exemplary conduct and frequent patrols.

At least the county magistrate's attitude was clear, and those hooligans and beggars dared not cause any trouble.

While patrolling towards the west gate, Li Lin suddenly sensed a spying gaze.

He looked over, but didn't see anyone 'special'.

And then that gaze disappeared.

After walking a few more steps, that gaze reappeared.

This time, Li Lin ignored it. He led his men on patrol to a corner, a blind spot. In front of more than twenty constables, Li Lin took out a stack of white paper figures from his pocket, infused them with spiritual energy, and threw them on the ground.

These little paper figures quickly turned purple and scattered in all sorts of strange poses.

They all ran into the shadowy corners.

Some of the constables were intrigued by the paper figures, while others gasped involuntarily. But no one found it strange.

After all, Li Lin's nickname "Paper Prince" has spread throughout Yulin County as people in the martial arts world have come to know about it.

Despite being a county magistrate, Li Lin possessed an exceptional skill in paper-making; this was the stereotypical image people had of him.

Of course, another stereotype about him is that he is very handsome.

Without a certain level of good looks, one cannot be worthy of the title 'Young Master'.

Li Lin led his men to continue patrolling, and before long, that gaze moved over again.

He pretended not to know anything.

About half an hour later, when Li Lin returned to the county government office with his men, the little paper figures had also been 'discovered'.

At this moment, a monk and a Taoist priest were standing on a high rooftop, looking in the direction of the county government office.

Neither of them spoke.

Then, the Taoist priest suddenly turned around, swung his long sword, and the little paper figure disappeared.

Then, a large number of paper figures disappeared.

Li Lin, who was in the county government office, also "saw" this scene, and he immediately laughed.

"Quite impressive. He unleashes his vital energy and his sword energy is boundless. He's at least a sixth-rank martial artist, and he should have also grasped the essence of swordsmanship, reaching the minor completion stage."

Li Lin pondered for a moment, then took out a silver note from his pocket and said to the constable beside him, "Take a few brothers and go to the market with some money to buy me large sheets of white paper. Buy as much as these silver notes can buy."

"Yes!"

Soon, more than a dozen yamen runners left the county government office.

Before long, a large quantity of paper was transported to the county government office.

Li Lin then picked up a pen, ink, and scissors and began cutting out small paper figures.

One by one, the little paper figures landed, turned purple, and left the county government office excitedly.

A steady stream.

This caused many yamen runners to avoid staying in the corridors of the county government office, for fear of offending these paper figures and Li Lin behind them.

One of the yamen runners guarding the entrance was constantly counting the number of paper figures.

"One hundred and thirty-five, one hundred and thirty-six..."

Once these paper figures left the county government office, they began to conceal themselves and moved closer to the monk and the Taoist priest.

Before long, Li Lin felt the little paper figure begin to disappear again.

And it disappeared quite quickly.

However, Li Lin was not in a hurry and continued making the paper figures.

They have even begun making paper effigies to guide souls, as well as large numbers of swordsmen, shieldmen, and archers.

But it's not time for these paper figures to be 'deployed' yet; they've been piled up to one side.

Furthermore, behind these soul-guiding paper figures are strange illusionary runes.

At first, the paper figures disappeared faster than Li Lin could make them.

But after two hours, the little paper figure's disappearance slowed down, and became slower and slower.

In the time it takes Li Lin to make the three paper figures, none of the paper figures will disappear.

it's time.

Li Lin then stopped making small paper figures and began to focus all his efforts on making soul-summoning paper figures.

The number of paper effigies used to guide souls is increasing.

As evening approached, Li Lin got up and lit a yellow talisman.

As the smoke filled the room, the paper figures inside came to life, their appearances so lifelike that they seemed indistinguishable from real people.

They came out of the house and lined up in the courtyard of the barracks.

After Li Lin came out, the paper figures shouted in unison, "Welcome, General!"

A group of yamen runners huddled in a corner, trembling and not daring to breathe.

"Follow me to fight the enemy!"

"As ordered!"

The paper figures roared.
