Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 427: Blade of Choice

This thought flashed through Yimuwu's mind. He seemed to vaguely remember that it was somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.

In the end, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to give up.

At this moment, the vertical eye in the middle of his face watched Lin Beixuan stop and stand quietly a hundred meters away from him.

In the middle, they were squeezed together into a ball, slowly fleeing towards the evil army behind Yimuwu.

These evil spirits were afraid of the aura emanating from Lin Beixuan. At this moment, even Yimuwu was no longer afraid and left the other party behind without a second thought.

Across the fleeing evil spirit, Lin Beixuan and Yimuwu just stared at each other quietly for a moment.

Lin Beixuan placed his weapon on the ground, folded his hands, and looked around calmly.

Yimuwu could serve as prime minister under the Zigu god, so his strength is naturally needless to say. The two immortal ancestors Huihuang and Jiugu attacked together, but they couldn't even break the corner of Yimuwu's clothes. The opponent's strength is at least above that of ordinary minor gods.

Lin Beixuan was calculating the opponent's strength in his mind and was mentally prepared to fight with him.

However, after watching for a long time, Yimuwu suddenly clasped his hands and bowed in the direction of Lin Beixuan, then slowly retreated following the fleeing evil spirit.

Yimuwu dragged his long surgical robe, crossed the damaged city wall of West City, and turned back to look at Lin Beixuan again.

"Master, I think we will meet again in the future."

After saying this, Ichimuwu completely disappeared at the end of his sight.

"You're telling me something harsh?"

Lin Beixuan tilted his head slightly, narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction where Yimuwu disappeared.

He wondered how confident he was that he could keep the other person.

However, considering his remaining divinity and weak body, Lin Beixuan could only silently dismiss this idea.

At this time, Luo Bingzhong originally wanted to lead the Beiming Army to hunt down the fleeing evil spirits, but he was stopped.

"There's no need to chase them. Whether we can keep them is one thing, but it will also bring a lot of casualties to the Beiming Army. It's not worth it."

Luo Bingzhong nodded when he heard this, and looked at Lin Beixuan's pale face, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"

Lin Beixuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I just used too much force!"

Luo Bingzhong felt relieved, and he and Wu Huo led the Beiming Army to hurriedly repair the damaged walls of the east and west cities.

Although everyone knew that the city wall repaired in a short period of time would not be able to hold out for long under the attack of Evil Spirit True Lord and Zi Gu Goddess’s troops, it was better than nothing and was better than the other side rushing in directly over the damaged city wall.

The remaining part of the Beiming Army began to set up camp in Anle County, placing the seriously injured but not dead people in tents, and having them treated by the fox doctors who came with the army.

Not until the crisis in Anle County was completely confirmed to be over did Lin Beixuan lower his head and carefully examine the strange weapon in his hand.

A panel appears, listing the information.

[Unknown weapon...]

【name:???】

[Quality: Gold (not yet included in the weapon legend atlas)]

[Owner: Lin Beixuan (only one) (exclusive)]

[Introduction: This weapon was forged by the master of weapons, Lin Beixuan, by the master of fire, Xiao Zizai. It was forged using the low-level three-refined divine fire and imitated a trace of the real three-refined fire.]

[The body of the device is three feet long and five fingers wide. It is made of Starry Sky Meteorite Iron, Thunder Fire Wood, Stone Scale Eyes, etc. The core is made of two legendary materials, Red Sky Fire Stone and Yellow Spring Orb. It has extremely high growth potential and is 100% compatible with the owner of the device, Lin Beixuan. It is unique and cannot be used by others.]

[This device can grow by consuming the essence of other materials, and can replicate the characteristics of the materials with a probability, giving it the abilities of the materials themselves.]

[The holder of this weapon has all attributes +100, additional path - Magic Sword, additional path - Tyrant Blade, additional path - Ghost Gate...]

[Additional Ability 1: Frenzy]

[Gathering all the power of the holder, one can launch an attack far beyond the limit. This attack will be strengthened as the weapon determines the opponent's level. ]

[Additional Ability 2: Soul of the Shadow (Unlocked)]

[Additional Ability 3: Sky Curtain Falls (Unlocked)]

……

"This is... my weapon?"

Although he already had some guesses in his mind, when the facts were laid out before him, Lin Beixuan still couldn't help but feel shocked.

No wonder it didn't hurt him when it rushed over aggressively just now, but instead went into his hands. It turned out that this was the weapon that belonged to him.

"Only! Exclusive!"

These two words seemed to emphasize and prove the truth of what Lin Beixuan was thinking.

Only he can use it, and the adaptability is 100%.

Lin Beixuan himself knew that the request he made at the time was actually a bit outrageous, and he didn't expect the other party to be able to do this.

As a result, Xiao Zizai not only did it, but also did it perfectly.

If this weapon hadn't suddenly flown over today, the crisis in Anle County would probably not have been resolved so easily.

The Evil Spirit Lord and Yimuwu will not retreat easily.

"It is said that divine weapons have spirits. You should be able to understand what I am saying, right?" Lin Beixuan said slowly, stroking the cold body of the weapon that looked like both a sword and a knife.

"Zheng..."

Lin Beixuan's palm trembled slightly, but it was not his hand that was moving, but the weapon in his hand that was vibrating, making a slight clanging sound.

Seeing this reaction, Lin Beixuan roughly understood that the other party should be like the Jiutian Xuanhuang Pagoda, with a spirit inside.

But compared to the original Nine Heavens Profound Yellow Pagoda, the spirit of this weapon was much more familiar to him.

Just at this moment, Lin Beixuan saw out of the corner of his eye two tall and burly figures not far away, looking around and walking towards him.

Xiao Zizai looked around at the current situation in Anle County. The city walls had collapsed, houses were destroyed, there were traces of fire and knife cuts everywhere, and footprints of humans and different creatures remained everywhere on the ground.

"During the time we were in seclusion refining weapons, what exactly happened in Anle County?"

Zeng Daniu looked at the scenes before him in disbelief.

He still remembers the place he is walking through now. It used to be the most prosperous area in Anle County. There was a shop selling pancakes with particularly authentic taste.

Usually after he had spent all his money, he would come to this restaurant often and became familiar with the owner, who would occasionally give him a bowl of mutton soup.

But looking at it now, most of the shop was destroyed, with the roof collapsed and pots and pans overturned in the corner.

Xiao Zizai had a gloomy face, and he should have realized what was going on by now.

At this moment, when I saw him sitting on a stone by the roadside with one hand resting on the forged weapon, I already had the answer in my heart.

The artifact's emergence caused such a big commotion because it sensed that its master was in danger, so it directly broke through the weapon refining acupoint and flew to its master at the fastest speed.

Xiao Zizai sighed and walked towards Lin Beixuan, but was stopped by two Beiming Army soldiers.

"who?"

Xiao Zizai frowned and looked at Lin Beixuan. "They are my friends, don't worry!"

Lin Beixuan waved his hand and let the two Beiming Army soldiers leave.

He had an impression of these two men, one was called Zhang He and the other was called Wei Qian. They were both considered the top fighters in the Beiming Army and were both masters of the summoning spirit realm who had once hidden in Sheshan.

This time, it was probably because Luo Bingzhong was worried about Lin Beixuan's current condition, so he specially asked these two people to come and protect him to prevent him from being killed by a surprise attack.

Even though they knew that there was a huge gap in strength between the Summoning God Realm and the Ordinary God, it would still be a gain if they could use the lives of two people to buy Lin Beixuan some reaction time.

Zhang He and Wei Qian naturally understood this and did not resist in their hearts. Instead, they thought it was natural.

After hearing Lin Beixuan's instructions, Zhang He and Wei Qian looked at each other, slowly stepped back and came to Lin Beixuan's side.

Seeing this scene, Lin Beixuan smiled helplessly, but did not reject their kindness. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zizai.

"Master Xiao, long time no see!"

Xiao Zizai looked Lin Beixuan up and down, grabbed a huge solid stone ball from the side with one hand, put it on the ground, and then sat on it.

"It's been a long time indeed!"

As he spoke, Xiao Zizai stared at the weapon in Lin Beixuan's hand and said helplessly, "You said you would bring back materials of legendary quality, but I waited for a long time."

"In the end, I had no choice but to take out the things I had kept at the bottom of my box."

"How are you going to pay me back for all this?!"

Lin Beixuan smiled and said, "I will pay back whatever I owe you. Master Xiao, don't worry."

Xiao Zizai stared at Lin Beixuan and suddenly changed the subject.

"I can't see through you at all now!"

He still remembered that when Lin Beixuan came to see him for the first time, he could see the other party's realm at a glance.

Later, when he returned from Wumeng Mountain, he officially entered the Kaifu territory.

But Kaifu territory was nothing in Xiao Zizai's eyes, so he didn't care too much about it.

However, after being in Luozhou for several months, when Lin Beixuan appeared in front of him again, Xiao Zi could not see through the young man in front of him no matter what.

In his eyes, Lin Beixuan at this moment was like being shrouded in a layer of gray-black fog. No matter how hard he looked, he could not see through it. Instead, he was affected by the power that seeped out of the fog and began to be inexplicably lost.

"Time always changes a person, doesn't it?" Lin Beixuan shrugged and smiled faintly.

Xiao Zizai nodded in approval, his gaze returning to the weapon in Lin Beixuan's hand.

"Have you named it yet?"

"not yet."

"Choose one. A magic weapon must have a name of its own."

Xiao Zizai was serious, as if he was performing a solemn ceremony.

Lin Beixuan pondered for a moment, his eyes fell on the weapon in his hand, and asked: "Is it a knife or a sword?"

"It's neither a knife nor a sword. If there really has to be a definition, it's more like a knife! Considering the reason why you wanted me to forge a knife, I added more 'knife' elements to it." Xiao Zizai said after careful consideration.

Lin Beixuan nodded when he heard that, held the weapon horizontally in his hand and picked it up.

"Then call it - choice!"

"Choice..."

Xiao Zizai stroked his beard and frowned. The word "choice" is not commonly used in the secular world, let alone used in conjunction with swords and other killing weapons.

Often, the names of weapons of destruction are based on the momentum of an unstoppable force, such as Ling Yuan, Bai Mo, etc.

As a weapon of killing, how can it be in a dilemma and unable to make a decision?

So when Lin Beixuan said this name, Xiao Zizai's brows slowly frowned.

Lin Beixuan didn't care and gently stroked the weapon in his hand which he named "Choice".

At this moment, Juexi was lying between his knees, and the blade made a metallic sound, as if he was very satisfied with the name given by Lin Beixuan.

Lin Beixuan raised his head, his eyes were somewhat deep: "People are always on the road, unable to stop, and will face countless choices."

“In the secular world, every decision is about life and death, and about the direction of the future.”

"Since it is to accompany me, it will naturally face the same dilemma as me, and have to choose between life and death, good and evil, just like it is both a knife and a sword."

As he spoke, Lin Beixuan lifted up the sword, and a slight buzzing sound spread out like waves in a stream.

Then, Lin Beixuan swung the knife lightly, and the sharp blade, carrying a faint divine aura, cut a small hole in the space beside him.

Through this opening, Lin Beixuan felt that if he could be stronger and step into the human fairyland, he would be able to break through the space barrier directly like the Evil Spirit Lord and the Xuanhuang Hungry Ghost, and let his power descend on another corner of the world.

Xiao Zizai looked at Lin Beixuan deeply and said nothing.

Lin Beixuan's knife strike just now was not accidental, but was intended to show his strength to Xiao Zizai.

He has a bold idea.

"Master Xiao, are you willing to be the forger of my Beiming Army?"

Xiao Zizai suddenly laughed: "You know my true identity, do you think you can afford me?"

"Master Xiao knows my current identity. Do you think I can't afford to hire you?"

"..."

Xiao Zizai's expression froze, and he immediately realized that Lin Beixuan was no longer the boy who was still in his control.

In just a few months, he has grown to the level where he can be on par with the Evil Spirit Lord and the Zi Gu Goddess.

You must know that although Luozhou is affected by starvation and drought, it has the largest land in the northwest, and its rich forging resources are much stronger than Qingzhou.

Lin Beixuan continued, "Now is a time of chaos. Perhaps Master Xiao can take Daniu to the four continents governed by the past dynasties. However, the royal families of the past dynasties are declining, and the princes of each state are planning to rebel. It won't be long before the place becomes even more chaotic."

"Instead of running around in the chaotic world, it's better to follow me. As long as I am alive, Luozhou will not be in turmoil again, and Luozhou's forging resources are at your disposal."

Lin Beixuan generously offered the conditions.

Just as he himself said, the current situation is chaotic and it is unsafe to go anywhere. From his experience of Xiao Zizai's personality, he knew that Xiao Zizai was a person who was devoted to technology.

The fact that he was willing to go all the way to Anle County, Qingzhou, in order to forge the magic weapon of his dreams shows that he did not have a strong desire for power and money.

If Xiao Zizai could be recruited for his own use, it would be a huge help both to him and to the improvement of the overall strength of the Beiming Army.

Because once it comes to large-scale war, a well-armed and well-equipped army is crucial.

Although he now has Hu Yan, a master craftsman who can forge tens of thousands of armors and weapons in a short period of time, who would complain about having few scientific researchers under his command?

In Lin Beixuan's view, these divine craftsmen in the secular world are the key engines that can drive the strength of the Beiming Army.
