Chapter 710 – Protective Barrier
Fu Li realized that what he had just said was really provocative, so he corrected as he held his forehead, “Huarong Sword Venerable, don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious.”
Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “I have studied evil creatures before, and specially wrote a booklet called the 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》. In that booklet, the characteristics, habits, attack methods, and methods to eliminate evil creatures are all available. But after these booklets were distributed, no one cared about them. Up to now, they’ve probably been gathering dust.”
Fu Li was immediately surprised and raised his eyebrows. “That 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》, which looks like a prank, was actually written by Huarong Sword Venerable? At that time, I also skimmed through it and just thought it was something based on legends and folklore… Why did you call it that name?”
Lin Xuanzhi paused and answered, “This is the title given by the East Empress.”
Fu Li: “…”
At the beginning, Lin Xuanzhi thought about it and planned to give a serious title to the book that specifically explained relevant information about evil creatures. Unexpectedly, when he asked Lin Zhan in the faraway East Land for the relevant information recorded in the divine scripts, he also received a book title suggestion.
Lin Zhan even said without embarrassment that all the cool upper realms named their books this way.
It was just a book title, and it also reflected the meaning of the book, so Lin Xuanzhi didn’t care about it and just used it.
However, Lin Xuanzhi didn’t expect that even if he only charged the cost of production for the book, the 《Evil Creatures Survival Guide》 still had the worst sales in all the major bookstores.
Even if someone bought it, Lin Xuanzhi specifically found a few people who bought it and asked for their opinions, but he got similar answers one after another–
“This book ah, the descriptions of the evil creatures and the world full of evil creatures are really stimulating. Moreover, the evil spirits always pick fights with people with high cultivation. So when that Heaven’s Wail or something comes, won’t those of us with no talent live to the end?”
“Aiya, the imagination of the person who wrote this book is really rich. Just how much free time did the author have? They actually had time to rack their brains to make up these things and write them into a book. It’s truly enviable…… Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore. I need to start mining now.”
Lin Xuanzhi: “…”
Even the wise and brilliant Huarong Sword Venerable had moments where he was at a loss. It wasn’t like he could just grab the man’s collar and say to him, “Fuck your mother! This book was made from this Venerable’s painstaking efforts after several all-nighters. Everything in it has happened before and will happen soon, so get it into that thick head of yours for Laozi!”
Lin Huarong also felt a little flustered. Not only did he utterly fail in publishing his first book, but he was also ruthlessly mocked by Yan Tianhen.
Fu Li laughed in spite of himself. “The thoughts of the East Empress are really different from that of ordinary people, but the biggest problem with this book is not the title, but the name of the author.”
Lin Xuanzhi frowned, and his eyes sank. “What’s wrong with the name?”
Fu Li said, “If you had dropped the name of Huarong Sword Venerable, this book would definitely be sold out, no matter how expensive it is. But Huarong Sword Venerable just had to drop the name ‘Two Tigers’ as the author, which doesn’t look very reliable.”
Lin Xuanzhi: “…”
“No need.” Lin Xuanzhi said, “Whatever you want to know, I will tell you right now. I heard that Priest Fu Li is the person with the strongest inheritance of Lightning Technique in the Fu family. Is that so?”
Fu Li said: “Usually, I would never dare to answer this, but at such a critical moment, when the enemy is present, I’ll just say yes.”
Fu Li had always been a low-key person. Even though he had a high status in the tiger clan, he always stayed in seclusion for many years inside the temple. There weren’t many people who had seen him in the temple, and he also didn’t care about the prestige of a priest, so it was easy for others to underestimate him.
However, while the tiger clan’s Beast Emperor had changed countless times, the priest had always been the same person, which was enough for people to see how powerful he was.
Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “I’m afraid that the evil creatures in the Dragon Tomb are not limited to just these. We should take advantage of the calm before the storm to refine some magic treasures to defend against the evil creatures. What do you think?”
“This is naturally good, but I don’t know anything about crafting treasures.”
Lin Xuanzhi: “It’s enough for Priest to provide Lightning Qi. I’ll do the rest.”
At this time, most of the disciples were sitting on the ground exhausted. Although they were lucky to wipe out all the evil creatures just now, they couldn’t stay here permanently and eventually had to move on.
If they wanted to leave the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, they must first go to the core of the grand seal — that is, the place where the Dragon God’s bones were buried. Along the way, who can guarantee that they will not be attacked by evil creatures again? What if they encounter another wave of monsters?
In full view of the public, Lin Xuanzhi sat cross legged in the desert, quickly made hand seals, and kept the spirit stone that he had divided into thin slices with his spiritual Qi rising and falling around him like rain, while the other hand integrated the Lightning Qi from Fu Li.
In a moment, the spirit stone pieces were filled with blue flowing spiritual Qi.
Because each piece was only a thin slice, not much spiritual Qi was contained in each piece. Lin Xuanzhi reluctantly stopped after making hundreds of pieces.
“Huarong Sword Venerable, how does this work?” Asked a disciple.
Lin Xuanzhi got up and made a demonstration with it.
He threw them at three different spots on a corpse, and then gently squeezed his fist. The corpse was instantly burned to ashes by the exploding pieces.
