The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 71 Bring me my magic weapon!

Lu Yuan focused his mind and was completely immersed in the mysterious rhythm of breaking the evil spirits.

Completely unaware, an old Taoist priest dressed in a purple and gold robe had appeared on the riverbank behind them.

The final hammer fell.

The wooden nails were driven more than two feet deep into the soil, causing the frozen riverbank to tremble slightly.

In the distance, the river, which was originally flowing gently eastward with ice crystals, suddenly stirred up a whirlpool flowing against the current in the direction corresponding to the Kan Palace!

efficient!

Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and without pausing, he continued to lower the nails one by one, his figure swift and precise!

Kun (Southwest), Zhen (East), Xun (Southeast), Central Palace, Qian (Northwest), Dui (West), Gen (Northeast), Li (South).

Eight directions, eight lightning-struck jujube wood nails.

For each palace he nailed, Lu Yuan had to perform the corresponding hand gestures, recite secret incantations, and step on the Big Dipper.

When he nailed the Kun Palace, he steadily stepped out a "Earthly Seal".

It was as if the profound power deep within the earth had been drawn to suppress the evil water veins.

When he struck the Zhen Palace, he held a fresh peach leaf in his mouth, and the sound of the hammer as he swung it had a hint of thunderous force.

Simulates the spring thunder and the awakening of insects, a sign of the revival of all things!

The most crucial step is when nailing the central palace.

With a solemn expression, he took out a warm, lustrous bloodstone seal and pressed it heavily onto the nail head.

The seal is vermilion, and the four ancient seal characters are menacing: "Order the Water Official"!

These smooth and skillful maneuvers were all observed by the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable on the riverbank.

At this moment, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was speechless; of course, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable hadn't uttered a sound to begin with.

Instead, her admiration for Lu Yuan was like a surging river, endless and boundless.

Leaving aside the fact that Lu Yuan is already a Celestial Master, let's just talk about how fast, accurate, ruthless, clean, and efficient he was in his martial arts moves.

Even the Celestial Venerable He Xun couldn't help but exclaim that it was perfect.

Is it really true that my nephew has only been in the sect for a year?

That can't be right!!

Perhaps someone in your family was in this line of work before you entered the temple, so you were exposed to it from a young age!

Otherwise, where would he have gotten such a strong foundation in martial arts from childhood?!

Otherwise, how could someone who has only been in the sect for a little over a year be both a Celestial Master and a seasoned practitioner?

Crane-Patrol Celestial Venerable simply couldn't imagine what heights his nephew would reach in the future.

Thinking about this.

Another inexplicable surge of jealousy rose within me.

Grass! ! !

How come that idiot has such a lucky life?!

Given time, when Lu Yuan becomes a Grand Celestial Master, won't his foolish junior brother ascend to heaven lying down?

Lu Yuan had no idea what Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable was thinking behind the scenes.

However, if we say that Lu Yuan became a Celestial Master in just over a year, it's because he had a cheat code, relying on the "Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil" system.

But the skill he acquired was entirely due to Lu Yuan's own efforts.

In short, if you're bad at something, practice more, practice day and night!

When the ninth nail, the jujube wood nail from the Li Palace, was forcefully driven into the ground, a strange change occurred!

"boom--"

A muffled sound came from underwater.

In the center of the river bend, where there were only ripples, a huge bulge suddenly rose from the water, as if some primordial beast was about to burst out of the water!

Seven eerie, jet-black water plants grew wildly upwards from the riverbed.

Countless tiny bubbles bubbled out from between the blades of grass.

When it breaks, it emits a sharp "squeak" sound, like a baby crying, which sends chills down your spine.

A stench, a mixture of rot and blood, wafted over.

This is the water element's instinctive counterattack!

"Ink line!"

Lu Yuan shouted.

Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan, who were already prepared, moved at the sound, each holding one end of the ink line.

Walk briskly around the nine wooden pegs, feeling like the wind is beneath your feet, for three laps!

The ink threads, soaked in black dog blood, were quickly wrapped around each nail, instantly forming a huge nine-square ink net covering the entire mudflat!

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

The ink line touched the water vapor spreading from the river, and it made a popping sound like boiling oil being poured on water.

Large plumes of white steam, carrying a fishy smell, rose up, as if the yin and yang energies were engaged in a fierce battle.

The underwater bulge gradually subsided, but the seven black seaweeds did not disappear.

They coiled together in the middle of the river, and amidst the rippling water, they vaguely formed a distorted, painful, and resentful human face!

"The earth's veins have been temporarily severed, but the root of the water's negative influence has not been eliminated."

Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his eyes grew even sharper.

"Next, we have to go into the water."

Lu Yuan had made full preparations, with a "water-repelling talisman" written in gold powder mixed with cinnabar pasted on his chest.

He carried a seven-inch short blade on his back, made from a rooster's throat bone, with the words "Breaking Yin" engraved on the blade.

The leather pouch at his waist contained seven "Six Jia Cleansing Talismans," each sealed in oiled paper with three-year-aged glutinous rice paste to prevent water and stains.

"My element is fire, and my birth chart is Dingmao, Bingwu, Wuyin, Dingsi, with three fire elements in the four pillars."

Before going into the water, Lu Yuan instructed Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an:

"If I do not resurface after an incense stick has burned in the water, then light this bundle of mugwort on the shore. The smoke from the mugwort will guide me into the air."

Without further hesitation, he bit down on a hollow reed tube, took a deep breath, and leaped into the air!

"Thump!"

The water splashed very low, and his figure was instantly swallowed by the dark river.

Just as Lu Yuan entered the water, the Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable on the riverbank suddenly twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"hiss--"

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable looked up at the bright moonlit sky, a hint of anxiety appearing on his face.

Alas!!!

Going into the water at this time is absolutely forbidden!

This kind of malevolent water evil should be suppressed by casting water at noon, when the yang energy is at its strongest, for the best possible outcome!

But Crane Celestial Venerable also understood that his nephew was by no means ignorant!

Judging from his previous skills, he must understand even the simplest things.

But the reason for choosing this time to go into the water is very simple, there is only one reason.

Because he himself came, he even made Song Yan compete against him.

This kid was afraid of having his credit stolen, so he didn't dare wait until noon and chose to risk a night dive!

At this moment, the Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable turned his head and glanced at the opposite riverbank.

Under the moonlight, Song Yan was leading two junior brothers, laboriously carrying the altar, like snails crawling towards the riverbank.

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable: "..."

Alas!!!

My nephew!

What's the rush?!

Why don't you take a look at what kind of people those three are?!

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable withdrew his gaze and stared intently at the water surface where Lu Yuan had disappeared.

After thinking it over, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

Oh no!!

Lu Yuanruo got into some trouble because of this and can't get up here.

That idiot junior brother of mine, he'd probably be able to stab me eight hundred times with a sword!

When I think back to when I was a kid, my junior brother would beat me up every day, turning my head into a pig's head.

For a moment, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable shuddered, quickly shook off his childhood trauma, and jumped directly off the riverbank.

Carrying his noble purple-gold robe, he trudged quickly towards the riverbank, his steps uneven, as the riverbed remained relatively frozen.

The commotion immediately startled Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan on the shore. The two turned around sharply, their eyes full of vigilance.

"What the hell are you staring at me for, staring through those two holes?!"

Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable unleashed a torrent of shouts.

"Do I have your mother or your father on my face?!"

"Give me a damn look at the river!!"

The three angry curses, delivered with great force, made the ears of the two men ring.

Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan considered themselves quite good at cursing, but compared to Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable, they were like small fry compared to big fish.

The two dared not speak their anger, and could only suppress their rage, quickly turning their heads back to stare intently at the river.

He was cursing in his heart.

Oh shit!

If you hadn't suddenly come down, would we have been able to turn around and look?!

What a temper!

……

Time stretched endlessly during the tense wait.

Every minute, every second felt like torture.

Crane-Patrolling Celestial Venerable paced back and forth on the shore, his footsteps creating a ditch in the mud.

Finally, he abruptly stopped, completely losing his patience.

"Fuck him!!"

After a thunderous roar, Crane Patrol Celestial Venerable ripped off his cumbersome purple-gold Daoist robe and threw it hard to the ground!

He turned around and roared at the Tianlong Observation Crowd on the distant riverbank:

"Bring me my magical artifact!!"

Just as Song Yan and his two companions had set up the altar and were about to offer incense, they all froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

Huh??

no……

Isn't the principle of fair competition supposed to apply?

Why is Master getting involved too?

And most importantly...

Why did you run to the other side?!
