Chapter 189: Chapter 108: The Crow Daoist and the Third Demon God Visualization Map

As dawn broke, under the divine soul search of Fayue and Su Lianqing, Breeze Temple was thoroughly inspected inside and out, revealing hidden gold, silver, and other treasures, as well as grain and weapons.

After taking inventory, Xu Qing and the others found that a portion of these weapons and grain actually came from the warehouses and armories of Jiangning Prefecture.

Some of the weapons and grain sacks still had their markings intact.

Xu Qing’s face twitched as he saw this, at a loss for words.

After the inventory, the next issue was the placement of personnel to guard Breeze Temple.

These people were primarily divided into three groups. One group consisted of those originally from Black Wind Village, who did not wish to go to sea with King Lin. Xu Qing carefully selected a batch to take in, all of whom had families and businesses in Jiangning and couldn’t just run away. Another group was Xu Qing’s old subordinates, including laborers from the Government Office, relatives of Guo Zhuang, and the enforcers from Yihe Hall. These people were tied to Xu Qing’s fate and highly loyal. The third group was composed of five martial monks from Golden Ray Monastery.

The Lotus Sect’s spies remained at the foot of the mountain, running a tavern on the main road, responsible for monitoring the comings and goings below Breeze Village.

Such miscellaneous affairs would take several days to settle, so Xu Qing temporarily stayed in Breeze Temple.

As for the old Monk Yan Kong, he took part of Breeze Temple’s secret medicine and left after settling the matters, but left Fayue behind to help Xu Qing handle worldly affairs.

Xu Qing faintly felt that Monk Yan Kong seemed reluctant to stay away from Golden Ray Monastery too long and also had some issues, so he did not urge him to stay.

During this operation, Monk Yan Kong indeed made significant contributions. Xu Qing knew even clearer that the strength the old monk had shown was still not all he had.

After all, being a Divine Soul Manifestation plus Martial Arts Refining Internal expert, his overall strength might even surpass that of King Lin.

However, Lin Tian’s Martial Arts were pure, and he was young and strong. In a life-and-death battle, Xu Qing currently could not guess who would have a greater chance of winning.

Moreover, when powerful fighters clash and the difference in strength is not significant, victory often hinges on details—a split second could mean the difference between life and death.

In the secret chamber of Breeze Temple, a treasure sword shone brightly.

Xu Qing looked at the treasure sword for a long time, "Is this Breeze Temple’s Feather Robe Blade?"

Su Lianqing plucked a strand of hair and laid it upon the upward-facing blade edge, then lightly blew on it, cutting the hair in two.

"Indeed, it is a divine weapon sharp enough to slice through hair as if it were breath." Xu Qing marveled, fortunate that during the night raid on Breeze Temple, no Taoist had wielded this blade, or it truly could have caused him trouble.

Such a weapon, neither his Black Fox Robe nor his current level of the Golden Light Spell could withstand.

The Golden Light Spell has twelve levels, and Xu Qing has only just cultivated to the third. This was because he had a good foundation and had taken spiritual medicine and Yellow Millet Rice earlier on, but moving forward, without new spiritual medicine and relying only on the remaining Yellow Millet Rice, his cultivation progress would be much slower.

Paired with the Feather Robe Blade was Breeze Temple’s Breeze Blade Technique. After Xu Qing reviewed it, he felt that the power of this saber technique was indeed inferior to the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber.

But the lightness and agility of Breeze Blade Technique were worth Xu Qing’s contemplation.

Although the Breeze Blade Technique was not mighty, when matched with the razor-sharp Feather Robe Blade, this shortcoming could be perfectly compensated.

He picked up the Feather Robe Blade and stepped outside to the courtyard of the secret chamber. It was the transition between spring and early summer; the twilight sky and the cool evening breeze carried the chirping of cicadas and insects, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Xu Qing recited spontaneously, "Leaning on a cane outside the wooden gate, I face the wind and listen to the evening cicadas."

This was the most exquisite move of the Breeze Blade Technique.

When the blade was drawn, it merged with the sound of the wind, evoking a sense of idle clouds and wild cranes.

The blade light was enchanting and prolonged.

In the courtyard, a blossoming locust tree, lush and leafy, with cicadas shedding their skins on its broad leaves. With a flash of Xu Qing’s blade light, a cicada immediately emerged from its shell.

If one observed carefully, they would notice a neat cut on the shell, yet the cicada that emerged was completely unharmed.

Had there been anyone alive in Breeze Temple, they would have been astonished beyond measure by Xu Qing’s saber move.

In terms of skill in this move, aside from the founding ancestor of Breeze Temple, perhaps no one else could reach the realm Xu Qing was at now.

Such a marvelous saber technique demonstrated an extremely terrifying level of control.

Xu Qing was very clear that if it weren’t for his Innate Divine Ability, the Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand, even if he had cultivated to the level of Refining Internal, he would not have been able to possess such terrifying control.

"This Heavenly Repairing Tribulation Hand makes learning any weapon or martial arts in the world as easy as eating or drinking. Even applied to medical surgery, it’s an extremely terrifying advantage." Xu Qing reflected privately.

Of course, surgery requires more than just precise techniques and is still insufficient without proper external conditions.

Furthermore, the material of the Feather Robe Blade was very special. If the Peach Wood Sword was naturally heavy, the Feather Robe Blade was the opposite; the blade was as thin as a cicada’s wing, and including the handle, it did not weigh much.

Xu Qing didn’t even need to refine the blade; he could easily control it with his divine soul.

Of course, as an exorcism weapon, the Feather Robe Blade was still far inferior to the Peach Wood Sword.

Another significant advantage of the Peach Wood Sword was that when divine souls reside within the blade, it could mitigate some of the damage that the vigorous Qi-Blood can do to divine souls, and the divine soul residing within it gives a sensation akin to entering a physical body—features that no other magic artifact or weapon has.

In the end, there is a unique vitality within the Peach Wood Sword that came from being struck by lightning.

"To execute the Five Tigers Breaking Gate Saber with this blade, due to its light weight, it actually greatly reduces the fierceness and ruthlessness of the saber. No matter, this is an excellent opportunity to comprehend the martial philosophy of ’Light as Heavy’ in using force."
