Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 247 - Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand_1
Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand_1
“Stop pretending to be pitiable, just go.”
Hou Wanshan composed himself and urged again.
Lin Jingyi, listless, stood on the cloud, taking the steel hammer handed over by his daughter-in-law and holding it casually at an angle.
Having stayed in such a peaceful place as Li State for so long, he had almost forgotten when he last took action.

Oh well, it seemed this was a tribulation destined for him.
He sighed, just about to soar into the sky.
But a streak of scarlet suddenly surged into everyone’s field of vision.
They saw a red cloud, like a flash of light, approaching from the distance, and in a blink, it was above Qizong Mountain.
In the Great Qian territory, the only person Madam Lin had ever seen brazenly riding a Demon Cloud was one.
She paused, then shouted with surprise, “No need to go now! Officer Shen is back!”
“Phew.”
No need for her reminder, Lin Jingyi had already thrown away the hammer, clumsily jumped down from the cloud, and then anxiously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Thank heavens.
The damn fox demon, it knew its place and didn’t escalate things to an irreparable extent.
The Great Qian might be weakening, but it still had powers with those in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
A camel, even at its leanest, is bigger than a horse, and it’s better to resolve enmities rather than exacerbate them.
“You’re lucky.”
Hou Wanshan glanced at the old man and then turned to look at the red cloud, standing with his hands behind his back, forcing a smile on his face.
Although the General was under the jurisdiction of Officer Shen,
with Li State’s richness, he had played a significant role, deserving some preferential treatment. He didn’t need to be too humble, even in front of the newly appointed Officer Shen.
However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the red cloud didn’t come to them.
It hovered briefly in the air.
Shen Yi’s figure then landed at the edge of the hollow on the mountaintop, looking down with interest.
“…”
Upon seeing this, Lin Jingyi suddenly felt something was amiss.
But he still hastened to greet him: “Officer Shen, are you alright?”
As he spoke, he also glanced up at the sky several times.
They had left with three people, so why had only one returned?
“I’m fine.”
Shen Yi nodded, his gaze still fixed on the dense white smoke in the hollow and asked with some curiosity, “What is this?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi’s expression grew increasingly strange.
In the entire Great Qian Dynasty, anyone with a bit of common sense knew that Qizong possessed a precious tool that was their crowning treasure.
For Officer Shen to ask such an obvious question… what did this mean…
Lin Jingyi was silent for a moment, but still replied honestly, “Reporting to Officer Shen, what is stored below is the treasure of our Qizong, the Cold Jade Xuan Silk Hand.”
Though he was a blacksmith, when it came to his family’s treasure, his mind became much more lively.
He quickly added another sentence, “This is the only precious tool of the Great Qian Dynasty. The elders of the Martial Temple asked us to take good care of it and strive to make it into a true Dharma Aspect. Once it’s done, we will send it to the Martial Temple, and it could also become a significant aid.”
“Hmm.”
Shen Yi nodded, looked sideways with a contemplative expression, and asked, “Did you invite that Qingqiu fox demon here for this?”
The young man’s expression and voice were very normal.
But Lin Jingyi just scratched the back of his head vigorously, looking helplessly towards his daughter-in-law and Hou Wanshan, “…”
The woman coughed twice and turned her face away.
Hou Wanshan was currently conducting a ritual for the Yin God, invisible to others, so he simply assumed an attitude of indifference to the whole affair.
“Sigh.”
Lin Jingyi sighed again, no longer beating around the bush, and spoke directly, “Officer Shen, we did indeed invite the Real Man Hu from Qingqiu to help, but whatever evil he intends to do, it has nothing to do with this Precious Tool… If you wish to take the Precious Tool back for investigation, this old man wouldn’t dare to obstruct you, but it just feels like such a pity…”
Could it still be taken back for investigation?
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, indeed interested in what was placed inside, but previously his mind was occupied by the demon’s lifespan, and only now did he feel free to inquire further.
If the Fox Demon truly had the ability to refine such artifacts, he might as well learn from it in the future.
“The Great Qian places its core cultivation in the Yin Spirit, thus does not value artifact crafting.”
Lin Jingyi was somewhat helpless: “An exceptional Precious Tool could make the crafting clan famous throughout Jiuzhou, but if one could craft a real Dharma Artifact, only then would the crafting clan’s fame spread beyond the Great Qian… Please wait a bit longer, this old man guarantees that we will take the initiative to deliver it to the Martial Temple.”
“What step is still missing?”
Shen Yi asked casually, thinking that if it wasn’t too much trouble, he could help the crafting clan ask the Fox Demon about it later.
“The method to elevate the Precious Tool has been mostly discussed with Real Man Hu, and now we only lack an extremely cold object as a primer, which Real Man Hu said he would figure out a way to obtain,” said Lin Jingyi. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and asked with puzzlement, “Where is Real Man Hu?”
“I sent him away.”
Shen Yi glossed over this topic briefly.
After witnessing the overwhelming advantage the Divinity Transformation Realm held over ordinary warriors and demons, he became even more wary of those truly powerful forces.
Now that his Golden Body was not yet fully formed, it was the most vulnerable time for him.
It was always right to keep a low profile as much as possible.
To put it bluntly, setting aside whether he was strong enough or not, with only one person and one Dharma Aspect, totaling four hands, how could he possibly defend the entirety of Jiuzhou?
Having already taken so much from the Martial Temple, it would be better not to cause them any more trouble.
“An extremely cold object?”
Shen Yi reached to his waist, holding the White Dragon’s Demon Core for a moment before putting it down, and finally took out a pair of huge Dragon Horns and placed them on the ground.
“Does this count?”
The pair of Dragon Horns was predominantly white, crystal clear, and one could feel a bone-chilling cold seeping into the skin with just a touch.
“What is this?!”
Lin Jingyi might not be good with other things, but having worked with metal his entire life, his eye for such treasures was exceptionally discerning.
After sniffing with his nose, he recognized its quality and exclaimed in shock, “Dragon Horns of a Demon King at the pinnacle! Where did Officer Shen find these?”
“Someone gave them to me before,” Shen Yi said, refocusing on the depression in the ground: “Can it be used?”
“Of course it can.”
Lin Jingyi’s face was tense, and he sneakily glanced at the still fresh bloodstain at the base of the Dragon Horns.
If he wasn’t mistaken, they had been removed less than two hours ago.
Real Man Hu left the Great Qian with the inspection envoys and killed a Demon King at the pinnacle?
That’s not right.
If that were the case, Real Man Hu would definitely have returned with them.
That old fox wouldn’t let the Precious Tool fall into the hands of others.
Therefore…
Lin Jingyi swallowed, his body trembling involuntarily.
Either Real Man Hu invited a group of demons to ambush Officer Shen, or there was a dispute over the spoils. Regardless of the circumstances… the only one likely to have survived was the young man in front of him.
Looking at his calm demeanor, it was as if nothing had happened.
What defines a ruthless character, this damn well defines a ruthless character.
This was beyond what a bunch of blacksmiths could handle.
The old man’s speech trembled as he spoke, “I… I… I will start the final step right away, and at most, in one month, I guarantee Officer Shen’s satisfaction.”
Lin Jingyi’s abnormal behavior caught the attention of the others.
Hou Wanshan looked back at the two, a trace of puzzlement emerged in his eyes: “…”
