saint of humanity

The purpose of refining this scabbard was to obtain a secret technique called "Sword Drawing and Slashing" from Liao Nei.

Lu Ye still remembers that this was the inheritance left behind in Liao by a human cultivator named Wang Xiu.

He extracted a spiritual pattern from this inheritance and engraved it inside the scabbard, so that he could activate and nourish the power at any time. This meant that when there was no war, he was using this spiritual pattern to accumulate power, so that he could unleash it all in the time of war.

A strike like that would be far beyond his normal level, and it would be difficult for the enemy to guard against it.

Lu Ye once used this secret technique to defeat some powerful enemies by surprise.

Before he entered the Tao, this secret technique was useful to him, but it no longer worked after he entered the Tao.

Because the strength before entering the Tao is completely different from the strength after entering the Tao.

Ever since entering Taoism, Lu Ye has been practicing hard, accumulating Taoist power, and working hard to improve his cultivation. How could he have extra energy to accumulate the secret art of drawing the sword and slashing?
This is one reason. Another reason is that the quality of the scabbard is too low and it can no longer withstand the impact of his strength.

So a long time ago, this secret technique was shelved.

If he didn't have enough Dao fish at the moment and the city had seized a large amount of rare materials, Lu Ye would not have thought of picking up this secret technique.

"Lian introduced you here, so you should know the rules. I can sell you the goods, but can you afford the price?" Old Fin looked at Lu Ye and did not give him any special care just because he was introduced by Lian.

For him, making an exception and agreeing to refine it for Lu Ye was already considered a favor, and he would also have something to explain to Lian later.

"Of course." Lu Ye nodded, took out two storage rings, and pushed them to the other side: "One is the reward from Master Fin this time, and the other is the material for refining the scabbard."

"You are sensible, kid!" Fin Lao finally showed a smile on his old-fashioned face. He first picked up the storage ring containing the Dao fish, checked it, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Lu Ye in surprise: "Boy, this is a bit too much Dao fish."

"Because I have some requests of my own."

As soon as Lu Ye finished speaking, Fin Lao threw the storage ring at him: "Go back to where you came from!"

No one has ever dared to make any request in front of him, not even to increase the price!

Lu Ye raised his hand and clamped the storage ring, then put it back on the table. He took out a jade plate calmly and said to himself, "I want to engrave these patterns inside the scabbard!"

As his power surged, many yin and yang elements were quickly constructed on the jade plate.

In order to avoid shocking the world, Lu Ye deliberately slowed down the process, and there were signs of construction failure several times.

Since he began to construct the Dao pattern, the anger on Old Fin's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked intently at the spread of the basic elements on the jade plate.

The information Lian provided was indeed correct. Old Fin was a man with a bad temper and a peculiar personality, but he was obsessed with Dao patterns. As a weapon master, he was actually also a Dao pattern master, but the Dao patterns he came into contact with and mastered were basically used for refining weapons.

The Dao pattern that Lu Ye has constructed now is quite innovative, which naturally aroused his interest.

After a long while, Lu Ye pretended to be exhausted and pushed the jade plate in front of Fin Lao: "If Fin Lao can refine it, then the extra Dao fish will be a thank you gift. If you can't refine it, please let me know as soon as possible and I will find someone else who can do it."

Old Fin couldn't help but sneer: "Boy, don't use such childish provocation!" As he spoke, he picked up the jade plate and examined it carefully, his expression changing constantly, and he looked thoughtful from time to time.

After a long while, his eyes finally gleamed, "Boy, from whom did you get this power-accumulating pattern?"

Lu Ye was secretly surprised. The weapon master in front of him had a very sharp eye. After just observing it for a moment, he roughly knew the purpose of this pattern. In this case, he had obviously come into contact with similar patterns before.

He looked at him expressionlessly: "Master Fin, you only need to refine it. The rest is none of your concern."

Fin Laoqi's teeth were itching. He had come across many power-accumulating patterns before, and they were basically the same. None of them was as simple as the one in front of him. This must have been improved by a master, and his attainments in this area must be extraordinary.

So Mr. Fin wanted to know who had such great ability so that he could go find him and talk to him.

"I will refine it for you for free, and you can introduce this person to me, how about that?" Old Fin looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye thought, is there such a good thing? You know, he originally needed to spend 30,000 Dao fish to refine the scabbard this time. He specially prepared 35,000 Dao fish. Now his wealth is indeed not cheap, but 35,000 Dao fish is not a small amount for him.

"Yes!" Lu Ye raised his hand and took back the storage ring containing the Taoist fish. If the other party didn't want it, he certainly wouldn't force it to be given to him.

"You were introduced by Lian, so I trust you. But boy, even if I refine this scabbard, can you use it?"

He saw through Lu Ye's intention at a glance. The Dao pattern in the scabbard was simply used to store energy and then unleash an extremely powerful blow.

However, this kind of power accumulation needs to be maintained at all times without interruption. Once it is interrupted, it means that the initial investment has been wasted and it is necessary to start all over again. This is a long-term consumption of spiritual power for any cultivator.

Not to mention that Lu Ye, who has achieved the Dao Fusion, even if he had achieved the Dao Integration, he would not waste his Dao power like this. One must know that accumulating power is not an easy task for any cultivator.

The most important thing is that this is also a long-term burden on the monk's mind.

Lu Ye frowned: "Your treasure workshop has to ask so many questions?" His Dao power reserve is so huge, why should he worry about consumption? Moreover, with the talent tree by his side and the Dao pattern in the scabbard, he can maintain it without much worry.

To others, this pattern might be useless, but there is no problem for him.

Fin Lao nodded: "Okay, if you insist on doing this, then I will do as you wish."

As he said this, he picked up the second storage ring, glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and said, "There are quite a few good things."

Of course there are a lot of good things. At present, the materials stored in the treasury of Yuanxi City are extremely abundant, including many fine and rare items. Lu Ye didn't know what was needed to refine a scabbard. Anyway, accompanied by Lian, he picked and chose and brought out a batch. These materials are enough to refine several scabbards, let alone one.

Fin picked out a batch of them and said, "Some are useful, some are useless, and you are short of some materials. I took your other materials as compensation. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course." Lu Ye nodded.

"Okay, come back in three days to get it, but boy, I want to meet that master by then!" There seemed to be flames burning in Old Fin's eyes, staring at Lu Ye, with an attitude of "I'm going to make you suffer if I can't see him."

Lu Ye stood up and left.

Instead of returning to Yuanxi City, the city is now heading towards the Governor's City. Yuanxi is obviously going to settle accounts with Jing Lei, but the journey is quite far and he cannot arrive within three days, so he does not need to return in a hurry.

It won’t be too late to go back after you get the scabbard.

Lu Ye went straight to the battlefield, found Gong Mao, and asked him to arrange a few death fights for him.

Although he had made some progress in the swordsmanship he studied, it was ultimately just an attempt on Fu Wei. How effective it would be against the enemy could only be verified in a life-and-death battle.

The fighting battlefield is the best place, and Lu Ye plans to spend the next three days here.

Gong Mao didn't understand what he meant: "What level of opponent are you looking for, fellow Daoist?"

He really didn't understand Lu Ye's request now. He could kill those who had the He Dao, and he could also kill those who had the Rong Dao. It was really difficult for him to make arrangements.

"Whatever you want!" Lu Ye said, "As long as it's a fight to the death, it's fine. But don't worry, Brother Gong, no matter who the opponent is, I won't use more power than they have."

He even said that if he wanted to verify his swordsmanship, he had to suppress his strength to be weaker than the enemy in order to see the effect, because his swordsmanship was originally developed to deal with enemies stronger than himself.

Only such a struggle has meaning.

"If that's the case, then no problem, I'll arrange it." Gong Mao agreed immediately.

There has never been such a precedent in the Douzhang battlefield, but for Lu Ye, it has been broken many times. Gong Mao also believes that Lu Ye will keep his word and will not ruin the reputation of the Douzhang battlefield.

A moment later, in a fighting battlefield, Lu Ye fought against a man at the fifth level of Rong Dao.

He activated Thousand Faces to change his appearance, and even suppressed his own strength to the level of an ordinary third-level Fusion Dao.

It could even be said that he didn't even use the power of the Panshan Sword.

This opponent was also a soldier wielding a knife. He had won seven matches in the death arena and his morale was high all the way. Originally, in their first confrontation, after realizing that Lu Ye was only at the third level of the Rong Dao, he felt that he had a sure win this time and could easily defeat his opponent.

But just a moment later, his mentality exploded.

There’s no other reason, Lu Ye’s knife is too strange.

Just like at this moment, when Lu Ye slashed down with his sword, even though he was concentrating fully, he couldn't understand where the sword was going to cut. In his perception, the sword was going to cut at his neck, but after the previous misjudgments, he no longer dared to trust his eyesight easily.

Therefore, when facing this sword, he could only unleash all his strength and dance the long sword tightly, forming a dense defense.

The scattered spectators in the arena were all puzzled when they saw this scene. They didn't know what Lu Ye's opponent was doing. Lu Ye's sword looked extremely simple, but his opponent was like crazy. This kind of defense consumed a lot of Taoist power.

What made them even more puzzled was that the next moment, Lu Ye's long sword slashed on the opponent's chest. This seemingly simple move actually broke through the airtight defense without leaving any trace.

With one slash of the sword, the soldier was knocked back several steps by Lu Ye's strength.

He looked down and saw that his chest was unscathed, not even his clothes were cut. He immediately looked up at Lu Ye with a face full of pain: "Are you humiliating me?"

This was not the first time Lu Ye had hit him with the sword. Several of the places Lu Ye had hit before were vital points, but he was not injured at all.

This was undoubtedly the reason why his opponent showed mercy, so he felt deeply humiliated. (End of this chapter)
