C2397 Sword Defects

Even Lin Bai never thought that such a thing would actually happen to the forefather of the Water Spirits Beast.

Beast Lord sucked in a breath of cold air. He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened if that genius disciple from Mount Fang hadn't suddenly felt pity at the most crucial moment. It was probably impossible for it to appear in front of him right now, let alone talk to him about such things.

"Patriarch, where is Senior's tomb? I'm going to kowtow to him a few times!" Without any hesitation, the Yin Qi Water Beast said in a coarse voice, speaking in an honest tone. It was precisely because of that genius disciple's kindness that it was called the Yin, Water and Beast Sects, and it was not alone in this world. Although this kindness could be considered as an unintentional act by that person, it could not be grateful.

"After the tombs were destroyed by Little Fang Mountain, the ghosts that barged in had already been destroyed. However, after so long, he had already turned into a pile of ash and remained undamaged. There actually wasn't much of a difference …" The old ancestor shook his head slowly as he heard the old master's words. It was as if he had played it lightly.

Although his words were calm, whether it was Lin Bai or the Beast Lord, they could all see the helplessness and disappointment in the old Patriarch's eyes. The existence of tombs was originally just a way for future generations to think about it. Although bones can turn into dust, as long as they do exist, the thought would still exist. However, now that the bones have been destroyed and the world dissipated, the thought would never even exist.

"Too much bullying …" He gritted his teeth, which were like sharp blades, as he said to Lin Bai in a hateful tone, "Brat Lin, those bastards from the Spirit Spring Sect have gone too far. They even dare to bully the benefactor of our ancestor, making it so that he cannot rest in peace. In a while, we will definitely turn the Spirit Spring Sect upside down!"

"Junior, if I'm not wrong, you should be a grandmaster. But the last time you came, I was a little confused. How could a grandmaster understand the way of the sword, and why did he have a flying sword that even swordsmen yearned for? " "The forefather of the water spirit beast laughed lightly a few times before turning his gaze to Lin Bai with doubt in his eyes.

Just as it had said, it had already noticed Lin Bai's existence at the Small Fang Mountain Great Auction. Furthermore, it was rare to find Lin Bai hidden in the world. It could even be said that he was a rarely seen grandmaster. But what made him even more confused was why a grandmaster had the skills of a sword cultivator, and why he had a flying sword in his hand this time.

Before this, although it was hiding in the shadows, it had still witnessed the battle between Lin Bai and the Yellow Springs Grandmaster. Facing an existence like Patriarch Netherworld, even he was wary. This was also the reason why he hadn't dared to make a move on him yet.

Yet such an expert, after encountering Lin Bai, had been beheaded by Lin Bai in just three moves and two moves, resulting in the latter losing his head. What made it even more fearful was not Lin Bai himself, but the flying sword in his hand. As the sword's aura circulated, it could clearly feel a trace of the reincarnation aura of life and death coming from the flying sword.

It was a powerful force. It was as if the moment the flying sword touched it, it would carry the force of life and death with it into the cycle of reincarnation. It reckoned that even though it was just a soul shadow, it would turn into ashes if it encountered this flying sword.

"There is a connection between all the different methods in the world. This junior was only lucky enough to encounter them by chance." Lin Bai chuckled, cupped his hands in a salute towards the forefather and said.

"That's right, it's me. All methods are linked. Who cares if it's a grandmaster or a sword cultivator." He then turned to Lin Bai and smilingly said, "However, from what I can sense, although this flying sword of yours is mystical, the Life and Death Domain within it does not seem to be very strong. It seems to be lacking and has not reached perfection …"

Lin Bai heard this and was stunned. He thought to himself, the ginger is indeed older. This water spirit beast grandmaster had lived for thousands of years and had extraordinary experience. Even something that the jade artifact elder hadn't been able to sense was detected by him.

It was as the forefather of the Yin and Water Beast had said, although his flying sword was mystical, it was not as flawless as the jade artifact elder and Tai Ah had imagined. On the contrary, there was still a lot of space for this flying sword to ascend.

As for the reason why this flying sword was lacking, it was because of two reasons.

One reason was that this flying sword had been forged in the eighth level of the Fire Domain. Although it had coincidentally obtained the Yin Yang Divine Flame of the ninth level of the Fire Domain, it was still far from being able to be refined in the ninth level of the Fire Domain …

The other reason was that the Dao patterns engraved on the Reincarnation Flying Sword were something Lin Bai had obtained from the crimson red iron piece. However, he only had two pieces of the crimson red iron plate, and they were far from complete. If the crimson red metal piece was incomplete, then the dao markings that Lin Bai engraved on the flying sword would naturally be incomplete as well. If the dao markings were incomplete, then the flying sword would naturally be unable to display its strongest power.

Although this deficiency was regrettable, it also meant that in the future, there would be more room for improvement. As long as one day Lin Bai had sufficient strength, he would be able to go deep into the ninth level of the Fire Domain and refine it again. Then, he would be able to collect the complete scarlet red metal piece and obtain the perfect Dao patterns.

However, regardless of whether it was the ninth level of the Fire Domain or the complete scarlet red metal piece, these matters were far more difficult for Lin Bai than ascending to the heavens. They were not something that could be accomplished overnight.

"Senior's eyes are as sharp as a torch, he was able to see through it with just a few words." After sighing for a long time, Lin Bai replied with a smile, and a smile that was not a smile appeared on his face. He quietly looked into the eyes of the Yin Water Beast Grandmaster, and said slowly, "However, from what this junior has seen, the fact that you are still staying in the Mount Fang Clan is more than just to repay our gratitude, right?

As far as Lin Bai was concerned, even though that genius disciple of the small mountain had indeed saved the life of the forefather of the Water Spirits Beast. But if one carefully thought about this favor, it was completely different from the other favors they owed him. That was because the genius disciple originally planned to use the ancestor as a source of power to raise his cultivation.

The changes that happened after that were just the traces of good will that had sprouted in his heart. It was very different from his true favor of saving his life.

After the death of Xiao Fang's genius disciple, the forefather of the water beast stayed in the Xiao Fang Mountain for many years and imparted the dao of the Heavy Yin Water of the Great Moon to the disciples of the Xiao Fang Mountain.

Now that the small mountain had been completely destroyed, not a single person in the sect was left alive. It was a sure thing that they had become a insignificant part of history. Under this kind of situation, the forefather of the Yin and Water Beast should have seized this opportunity to regain his freedom. From then on, the world was vast and he would be free to go wherever he wanted.

However, it was still lingering in the small mountain and could not stop. If it was to repay that disciple from the small mountain for his kindness, it would have been worth it after killing those disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect. However, after accomplishing those things, it still did not leave. Instead, it hid itself in that place. That meant that it most definitely had other plans.

From what Lin Bai knew, this water spirit beast ancestor's intentions were no different from his own. There was only the spirit stone vein!

"Little brat Lin, what are you saying? How can the character of our ancestor be something that we can speculate about!" Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, Beast Lord was displeased. He glared furiously at Lin Bai and bellowed.

"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Since I have done it, naturally, I am not afraid of telling others. Besides, this little friend did not say anything wrong." Seeing this, the Yinqi Water Beast Grandmaster stopped the movements of the old man with a smile. Then, he looked at Lin Bai and said lightly: "Just as you thought, I am staying here just like you. I am indeed here for the spirit stone vein!"

Sure enough! Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai immediately chuckled as a look of certainty appeared on his face. Even though he had received confirmation from the forefather, he was still puzzled.

As far as he knew, although the effects of Spirit Stones were strong, they didn't have much effect on the soul. He really couldn't understand why it would stay here and investigate the spirit stone vein. After all, it shouldn't be like Beast Lord and only want to possess something shiny.

However, to Lin Bai, what was the reason for the forefather's visit? To him, it didn't hold much meaning. What he was most concerned about was whether or not the forefather of the water spirit beast had discovered the location of the spirit stone mine before everyone else had.

It had to be said that after the destruction of the various sects in the small mountain, only the forefather of the water beast and the Yin Qi knew the most about this place. There was no one else besides him. Furthermore, it had been here for a thousand years, so it was extremely familiar with every single plant and tree. Furthermore, it was naturally a natural born spirit beast, and its perception of spirit energy far exceeded that of ordinary people.

If the forefather had already discovered the location of the spirit stone vein, and if there was no conflict of interest between them and could come to an agreement, then wouldn't he be able to seize the opportunity before the Spirit Spring Sect could?

Right now, things were changing in a strange and unpredictable manner. Even if one could be a step ahead of them, it would still be extremely convenient for them. To Lin Bai, who was currently an ally of the Sword Pavilion, this was what he needed the most!

"I'm staying here for my top quality spirit stone!" Without waiting for Lin Bai to speak, he straightforwardly said what he had in mind. He then lightly added, "But I need the top grade spirit stones, not to gather the spirit energy within, but to use the spirit stones' power to help me restore my physical body!"
