Chapter 20: Ten years of sharpening a sword, sharpening the fragrance of plum blossoms

Lin Man'er lasted two and a half months, and finally gathered a hundred poisons and antidotes. However, since he did not follow the rules of the swallow language, he had to accept a special gift. Perhaps, as some readers have guessed, it is to taste the taste of a hundred poisons.

Of course, these hundred kinds were not found by Lin Man'er himself, but the ninety kinds of poisons prepared by the disciples who had passed the assessment before him. As for the remaining ten, three of them were prepared by Yanziyu himself, and the other seven were the more famous poisons of the Shenzhou Continent.

Although the teaching method is a bit extreme, this is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve poison arts. Lin Man'er has no complaints about this, anyway, there is an antidote, it is nothing more than to suffer a little. And in terms of enduring hardship, he has long been accustomed to it.

Half a month has passed, and Lin Man'er has already tasted a hundred kinds of poisons. After that, Yan Ziyu didn't say anything, and directly sent Lin Man'er to the Talisman Pass. This is also a test that other disciples need to go through except for Jin Sanfat.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Yingyu was the first to pass the test. And it only took three hours. However, she did not get the approval of "Dao San", and she also did not get the burning knife spirit, one of the Eight Immortal Wine.

As for the reason, there are two aspects: first, the test of the Eight Immortal Caves of the Plum Blossom Stream is only applicable to the fourth grade or less. And Xiao Yingyu was already a fourth-grade pure sword immortal when she entered the customs, and she was still the kind of middle and upper class. Second, Xiao Yingyu was too strong, and when she broke through, she directly destroyed all the remaining puppets left by Dao San.

I have said before that the character of the Drunken Eight Immortals is far from ordinary people. And Dao San belonged to the kind of good-faced and short-tempered one, and when he saw that Xiao Yingyu was too easy, he summoned the remaining puppets out. Originally, Dao San just wanted to scare Xiao Yingyu, but Xiao Yingyu didn't eat this set, and his backhand was the fourth style of the Thirteen Swords Breaking the Sky - Wind and Clouds.

Forehead...... Under normal circumstances, in the battle of war cultivation, it is indeed easier for a four-rank to fight a third-grade, not to mention that Xiao Yingyu is not an ordinary fourth-grade sword immortal, and those puppets are also weaker than the ordinary third-grade sword immortal.

Later, Xiao Yingyu was ready to take the wine, but Dao San just wouldn't give it to her. She had no choice but to withdraw from the assessment and return to the Central Lotus Pond. At that time, there was only one person left in the swallow stage in the central lotus pond. After Xiao Yingyu asked about the situation of the others, she returned to the Golden Plum Palace.

The second place out of the customs was Su Shan, which lasted three and a half years. She was facing the seventh-ranked sword cultivator among the Drunken Eight Immortals, whose flower name was Bai Qi. Bai Qi has a heroic personality, but this is only for the people he admires or likes. And Su Shan is a smart, beautiful, and occasionally somewhat princessy fairy, which happens to belong to the category that Bai Qi likes. Therefore, Bai Qi did not embarrass her, but helped her advance to the rank of third-grade arrow immortal.

After that, Su Shan returned to the central lotus pond, and after inquiring about everyone's situation, she left a jar of white jade syrup and returned to Zilanxuan.

The third person to go out of the customs was Cao Leshui, which lasted four years and three months. Among the drunken eight immortals he chose, he ranked sixth, and his name was Feng Six. Feng Liu's personality is ruthless, and his whipping method is even more powerful. Fortunately, Cao Leshui is not a showman, he relied on his personal talent to break out in the hands of Feng Liu.

Interestingly, when he learned that he was the third person to go out of the customs, he excitedly drank half of the turmoil. Then, with a bang, he fell into the lotus pond. After that, an amazing scene happened. Because Cao Leshui was drunk and temporarily lost consciousness, his Tianwen characteristics were revealed. Namely, the frozen lotus pond.

If it weren't for the swallow period's timely move, I am afraid that his move would have triggered the Lotus Pond's guardian formation. However, although the formation was not triggered, it attracted a thunderstorm. Seeing that the situation was critical, Yan Ziqi directly urged his divine sense to forcibly wake up Cao Leshui and take him away from the Eight Immortals Cave, so that he could successfully cross the catastrophe.

The thunder tribulation of the Su Immortal Advancement Immortal is nine downs, three paths, and three folds. In other words, Cao Leshui needs to be struck by the Heavenly Thunder nine times, and each time three Heavenly Thunders are landed at the same time, and the power is also tripled. Of course, these are not fatal to Cao Leshui.

After the catastrophe was over, Yan Ziqi asked Cao Leshui about his next plans. Cao Leshui thought about it for a long time and decided to stay in the Eight Immortals Cave to practice, anyway, he was self-cultivation and was not restricted.

The fourth place out of the customs is the Oriental Changqin, which lasted five years. It's not that he's too weak, it's that he's picked the wrong opponent. He belongs to the soul method and cultivation, but he chose the fifth ranked hammer cultivator among the drunken eight immortals, with the flower name Huang Wu.

Huang Wu was burly, holding a pair of eight-edged plum blossom red gold hammers, which could shatter the turtle shell of the sixth-order Xuanjia Turtle King with one hammer. Just imagine, even the sixth-order Xuanjia Tortoise King can't carry it, let alone the Oriental Long Qin. Of course, he was only facing a puppet with the ability of the Yellow Five.

The fifth person to go out of the customs was Qi Ran, which lasted six years. He chose the eighth-ranked stick cultivator among the Drunken Eight Immortals, whose flower name is Xiaoba. Hachi is another fairy in addition to Swallow Language. As I said before, Qi Ran ignores one of the most obvious but easily misunderstood factors. That is, although Xiaohachi is a fairy, he is absolutely absolutely not gentle. On the contrary, her desire to fight is the strongest among the Drunken Eight Immortals.

It is not difficult to imagine what Qi Ran has experienced in the past six years. If it weren't for Xiaoba's lack of wanting to play, Qi Ran would never have been able to get out of the customs in just six years. Therefore, he did not receive the clear spring liquor. However, his soul power has improved a lot. After all, it is indeed not easy to survive under heavy pressure for six years.

Interestingly, after Qi Ran came out of the customs, he unexpectedly took a long look at the swallow period. Yanzi wanted to comfort a few words, but he thought that silence at this time was far more effective than comfort. So, he opened the formation and sent Qi Ran away.

The sixth person to go out of the customs was Pei Yongsi, which lasted eight years and nine months. He chose the fourth ranked sword cultivator among the Eight Drunken Immortals, with the flower name Ji Four, which means that the four seasons are like spring. As for why it took eight years and nine months, there is no way to do it.

Pei Yongsi is a pure sword cultivator, although he has the root of the battle spirit, but the cultivation method he chooses is destined to not be able to improve quickly. However, once you ascend, it is very scary. In one sentence, it is "ten years of sharpening a sword, sharpening the fragrance of plum blossoms".

Therefore, when he finally came out of the customs, he broke through the sword slave who had besieged him for nearly nine years with only one sword. In this regard, Ji Si fully affirmed and highly praised it, and presented Jian Nanchun and bronze bottles.

The seventh person out of the customs was Ji Yunquan, which lasted nine years. He chose the second ranked spear cultivator among the Drunken Eight Immortals, with the nickname Leng Er. From the name alone, it can be seen that Leng Er is not an easy master to get along with. If it weren't for Ji Yunquan following Lin Man'er to train in the Meishan Mountains, with his qualifications, I am afraid that he would be blasted out as soon as he entered.

Fortunately, Ji Yunquan was determined and diligent to make up for his shortcomings, and finally won Leng Er's affirmation. Not only was his cultivation promoted to the third grade, but he also obtained the Imperial Ice River and the Crystal Cup. It can be said that in addition to Lin Man'er and Jin Sanfat, his harvest is the greatest.

The eighth out of the customs is Jin Sanfat, which lasted nine years and five months. As for the process of his breakthrough, it can be described as a change in his mantra.

"Damn, is this a formation? …… Your uncle, is he so ruthless? …… Damn, I don't play anymore...... Senior sister, please let it go...... Grandma, I was wrong...... Dear mother! Help me! …… May I ask Senior Sister Yan, who has both beauty and wisdom, and talent and temperament, what kind of array is this? ”

Yes, Jin Sanfat's encounter is not much stronger than Lin Man'er. After all, the assessment of Yanziyu is really difficult. Unless, you can guess her mind and say the right thing at the right time. Of course, doing so can only alleviate Yanziyu's playfulness, and in the end, it depends on strength.

The last one is naturally Lin Man'er. After he entered the talisman level, he was faced with a puppet with a peak third-grade cultivation.

It should be noted that there is still a difference between puppetry and puppet charms. The former refers to the creation of a puppet with the ability to move in some way. The latter refers to the use of talismans to control the puppet. In other words, the former focuses on manufacturing, and the latter focuses on control. According to the situation of the puppet, it can be roughly divided into four levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, and top.

The primary puppet is basically made of living people, destroys its soul, and then controls it with a puppet talisman. For example, with a fourth-grade sword immortal as the raw material, a sword immortal with a peak third-grade cultivation can be produced at the highest. However, if you want to bring out the full combat power of the puppet, it depends on the grade of the puppet. If the puppet talisman is mixed, the puppet's combat power will be greatly reduced.

Intermediate puppets are also made of living people, with the difference that they retain the original divine soul and are forcibly controlled by puppet talismans. This type of golem lowers the requirements for puppetry, increasing the requirements for puppet charms. And, often used on the battlefield.

High-level puppets are made of spiritual objects as raw materials, supplemented by natural and earthly treasures, so that they become puppets with strong combat power but no independent consciousness. This kind of puppet basically does not rely on puppet charms, but is controlled by soul thoughts. Of course, you can also set spells, or target tasks, etc.

The top puppet does not rely on the material, but on the cultivation of the maker. In other words, a top-level puppet practitioner can use dead objects such as stone and wood to create a puppet with strong combat power and simple thinking. This kind of puppet is an owner-confessor, so it does not need to be controlled by external objects.

To sum up, the strength of a puppet is determined by both the puppet technique and the puppet charm.

Having said that, the puppet that Lin Man'er encountered was a junior puppet. Its original material is a four-grade sword immortal, and there are more than one of them. As the head of the Drunken Eight Immortals, Yan Ziyu will naturally not be a good man and a woman. Her cultivation is not to stay in the Meizhou Branch, relying on Qingyuan to improve her cultivation. Instead, he traveled to the eight counties of Meizhou to solve some notorious evil practices. As a result, she also had the idea of practicing puppetry.

Since those evil cultivators can do evil, their own cultivation will naturally not be bad. It would be a waste to kill them all. It's better to refine into a puppet and increase your combat power. As for the idea of using it for testing, it was Hachi who came up with it. At the same time, she also let the swallow language leave a legacy for herself. After all, the trip to Wushan is unpredictable.
