Chapter 5: Immortals

Outside the window, the moon was hanging high, it was midnight, and everything was silent, only the occasional snapping sound of the candle burning the wick. Under the lamp, the middle-aged man was still holding a pointed cone-shaped greenstone and kept looking, and the greenstone reflected the candle flame, covering the whole room with a bright green.

The man gently stroked the cone, thoughtful.

This man is none other than Li Hetu, who can't sleep. Ever since he came home, he had been looking at the greenstone. Li Hetu's former family can be said to be the number one sword-casting family in the world, and Li Hetu is one of the few geniuses among the younger generation in the past who has mastered the family heirloom "fire control technique".

This "fire control technique" sounds bluffing, but it is not a world-class martial arts move, just a unique method of controlling and manipulating flames, which requires little internal strength, and it pays more attention to a skill and talent to master, and there are many strong people in the world who have outstanding internal skills but cannot master this method. In the martial arts of the world, there are only a handful of people who really say that they have mastered or even mastered the "fire resistance technique", and Li Hetu happens to be one of them.

Although the "fire resistance" is not of much use against the enemy, it is unparalleled in the world in terms of its role in forging swords. It is precisely by virtue of this family secret technique that has been passed down from generation to generation that Wanjian Villa stands out from many sword-forging families in the world and has its own faction.

The name of Wanjian Villa is not only majestic in the martial arts of mortals, but it is also rumored that those legendary Xiuzhen sects have dealings with Wanjian Villa. What kind of characters are the immortals in the Xiuzhen sect? They are ruthless characters who can make heaven and earth change color and stand alone in the martial arts of the Central Plains.

It is rumored that five years ago, there was a cult called Shenyi Gate in the Central Plains Wulin, they pretended to be God's will, recruited disciples, encircled party henchmen, and called the pursuit of the way of heaven and immortality, but in fact, they were doing the evil deeds of skinning people and eating people's hearts. The various sects of the martial arts attacked it in groups, but they were helplessly repelled by the head of the Divine Consciousness Sect one by one, and the weaker ones were unable to escape, and were torn in half on the spot. The demon chased and killed the attacker, gnawing at the stump of the dead, and laughing wildly from his mouth. All of a sudden, the entire martial arts changed color and was frightened.

When the believers saw that the demon was mighty, they were even more convinced of that doctrine, and they were even more unambiguous when they ate people. Later, many disciples of the sect who originally crusaded against the Divine Consciousness Sect actually defected to the cult, and this Divine Consciousness Sect eventually expanded to nearly a thousand people. In addition, the disciples are as vicious as ghosts, and the Divine Consciousness Gate seems to be invincible in the martial arts, which is really a disaster.

Until a legendary immortal of the Great Perfection of the Jindan Realm came to the world, one person, one sword and one white clothes, and went to the helm of the Divine Consciousness Gate alone. With a sword, he cut the demon head of the world into ashes, and then used the ability of the golden pill realm to reach the sky, attracting thunder and fire, and slaughtered the gods who were the gods who were calamitizing the world overnight.

This is the stability of today's martial arts.

It is rumored that the immortal later founded a sect of cultivation called Zixiao Sect, and he went to pursue the way of heaven wholeheartedly, and there have been no more related rumors in the rivers and lakes since then.

Rao is Wanjian Villa can communicate with such immortals, and has nearly a hundred years of family heritage, but there is no record related to the green stone in Li Hetu's hands. Although there is no record in the ancestral home, it can not affect Li Hetu's judgment on this, if the greenstone in his hand can be quenched, it is a good material for casting a sword in a lifetime, although the ordinary fire temperature is not this greenstone.

But his own fire-resisting thaumaturgy made this matter a glimmer of relief. Coupled with the vicissitudes of life, at the end of April, it is officially seven years old, and it is time to learn the family fire control technique. Although practicing fire resistance is more about fate, Li Hetu believes that with Canglan's talent, his attainments in fire resistance are blue, and it must not be a difficult task.

Li Hetu made up his mind, and after Lan'er's seventh birthday, he would officially start polishing this green stone, and by the way, teach the children to practice the fire resistance technique.

The remaining half a month is just right to prepare many materials for forging swords in the future. After thinking about it, he finally put down the green stone that he had been carrying all day, and took out the broken jade plate that Canglan took from his arms. The material of this jade plate, Li Hetu also got nothing, this is like jade and stone, but it is warm to start.

Looking at the body of this jade plaque again, there seems to be a paragraph of text and pictures on the surface of the smooth place, but unfortunately this jade plaque is not known to be immersed in what liquid for a long time, although it is hard and abnormal, but it is inevitably corroded and dissolved, which can be seen from the slightly rounded edges and corners of the broken edge of the jade plaque. The text and graphics on the smooth back are really faint, and I can't see a word clearly.

Li Hetu has been obsessed with swordsmanship all his life, but he can see a hint from the faintly looming figure, and this crooked shape seems to be comparing a swordsmanship. A few shallow scratches, but Li Hetu felt a majestic sword intent, this sword move must be by no means ordinary, but it is a pity that this jade plate is not only damaged, but the pattern on it is not real, and it is a pity that I can't see this peerless sword move.

Although he couldn't distinguish the specific content on the small jade plate, Li Hetu still really felt the warmth coming from the jade plate, warming the meridians. In the past, the old wounds left by walking in the rivers and lakes in various meridians are also faintly hot and itchy, as if there is a passage of true qi, and there are faint signs of healing.

Although Li Hetu did not know the origin of the material of this jade plaque, he knew very well that this jade plaque had the effect of nourishing people's qi, which would be of great benefit to any cultivator. It's a rare treasure. There was a small hole on the edge of the jade plate that was broken by the green stone, and Li Hetu even found a red rope to wear it, planning to let his son wear it early tomorrow.

Thinking about it, Liu Lingyu's concerned eyes in the rain really appeared in front of him again, that look was so strange and familiar, Li Hetu only felt that the two pairs of eyes in front of him seemed to gradually merge together. In a blink of an eye, I caught a glimpse of Liu Lingyu's paper umbrella placed in the corner of the house, it was such a big rain, Liu Lingyu's hair with rain, with muddy skirt legs, all appeared in front of him, the clearest thing was still that blushing face.

As if he had made up his mind, Li Hetu's eyebrows suddenly widened, did he forget something? What he had to prepare in the past half month was not only the materials for forging the sword, but also the banquet for the bride.
