Chapter 6

Returning to his room, Ling Xiao casually threw the rare book "Tianwai Feixian" onto the bed and quickly took out paper and pen. After all, Ling Xiao was a college student; he couldn't handle overly complex firearms, but a simple revolver should be manageable.

In his previous life, Ling Xiao was also a fervent youth, a pseudo-military enthusiast. The revolver, hammer, trigger, cylinder rod, hammer spring, and other parts, though not few, were relatively simple to manufacture. With the skills of the craftsmen at the workshop, it shouldn't be a problem.

This night was mostly spent in continuous writing and drawing. The next day, Ling Xiao, brimming with enthusiasm, didn't even go to the palace. Early in the morning, he kicked open the door of the workshop. Since Ling Xiao showed the token of the Baolong clan, the craftsmen didn't dare to be negligent. The blueprints he sent in the morning were already turned into prototypes by evening.

Ling Xiao looked at the table full of parts, feeling both amused and exasperated. Initially, he was filled with anticipation seeing the craftsmen's enthusiasm, but when it came to assembling, there were so many defective pieces! In the end, only two and a half revolvers were truly qualified!

The deep brown gun body, with a six-shot cylinder, was mostly made of wood, but the quality was absolutely guaranteed. The material, suggested by the craftsmen, was heat-resistant and extremely durable, with the only drawback being its susceptibility to water, even with waterproofing coatings.

As the saying goes, a flaw does not overshadow the beauty. It was already quite an achievement to see a revolver in a world with relatively backward technology, so Ling Xiao didn't demand too much.

Excitedly caressing his creation, he heard his master and mistress laughing. Upon closer listening, they were testing Ling Lingfa's range hood. Ling Xiao actually admired Ling Lingfa quite a bit. Regardless of other things, his ability to find joy in adversity was commendable.

Wait!

This scene... doesn't it mean that Ling Lingfa's rise is about to begin!

"Hubby! That woman who looks like a ghost is here again!" His mistress's voice was still so pleasant. Ling Xiao dashed to the consultation room in a few quick steps.

"Uh, are we disturbing you?" Ling Lingyou had her legs spread wide, looking at Ling Lingfa with a seductive gaze. Ling Lingfa's expression of despair made Ling Xiao feel a surge of sympathy, but out of politeness, he asked.

Ling Lingfa ignored Ling Xiao and said directly to Ling Lingyou, "There are only three of us here. You've already dressed up as a woman! Do you want to disgust me by imitating a woman's voice?"

"As an intelligence agent of the Baolong clan, I should remain unnoticed. It's better to be cautious!" She spread her legs again, "Doctor~~~ Am I pregnant?"

"Stop imitating a woman's voice!"

"Fo Yin said..."

"Lie down lower! Don't let me see your face!"

"Fo Yin said there's an important mission, and you need to return to the secret base immediately."

"Damn, why didn't you say that earlier! Xiao Ling, come with me."

"Ouch! Ouch! My stomach hurts, it feels like all my organs are squished together! I can't, I need to go to the bathroom." Ling Xiao clutched his stomach and rolled on the ground.

"Such a coincidence? Do your organs all go to the bathroom together!" Ling Lingfa exclaimed with a strange look on his face.

"That's just how it is! Master, the responsibility of saving the world is yours." With that, he vanished in a flash.

"Take some medicine, will you!" In the distance, the sound of Ling Xiao falling could be heard.

...

Ling Xiao was so excited he couldn't control himself. His ambition wasn't great; he just wanted to follow in Ling Lingfa's footsteps and become a rich and powerful person no one dared to bully. If the plot unfolded as it did, this wouldn't be difficult. This was one of the main reasons he abandoned the Jinyiwei and became Ling Lingfa's disciple. This trip to the Jin Kingdom would be both thrilling and safe, and he could also get to know the Emperor. How could he give up such a golden opportunity!

Once Ling Lingfa gained power, there would be countless scoundrels trying to become his disciples. But his master was a man of sentiment, and compared to others, he and Ling Xiao had shared hardships. The other three members of the Baolong clan would likely sacrifice themselves, making the three vacant positions even more attractive. The line of people vying for these positions would stretch all the way to the Jin Kingdom!

Looking at the sky, the moon was already high. The palace banquet would keep Ling Lingfa busy washing dishes until late tonight! Bored and too excited to sleep, Ling Xiao propped up his leg and lay on the bed, grinning foolishly. He turned his head and saw a book, the "Tianwai Feixian" he had casually discarded earlier!

"Is this thing really that hard to practice? In the movie, it seemed quite easy. Once you have enough power, you can master it without a teacher!" With a strong curiosity, he gently flipped through the pages.

Buzz!

The world turned blank, the scenery before him distorted and swayed like an illusion, and all sounds disappeared, leaving only a cacophony of noise! It was as if expressing an emotion, narrating a truth, or opening a new world!

Ling Xiao's rapid breathing gradually slowed. The moment he flipped the page, a terrifying sword intent surged out. He didn't need to ask why he knew it was sword intent, because there was an even more terrifying one inside him! After five years, the mysterious white light residing in Ling Xiao's body finally awoke!

Focusing his mind, the white light exploded upon sensing the sword intent from the book. The overwhelming aura made the sword intent retreat like Jerry before Tom, shrinking back into the book. When he flipped the page again, the sword intent was obedient and no longer as fierce as before. In that brief moment, the sword intent had been tamed by the white light! This was the secret manual of Ye Gucheng, and the sword intent it contained was the essence of Tianwai Feixian!

The white light had changed shape, transforming into a crystal-clear light sword! Ling Xiao thought for a moment and tried to use his meager internal energy to control the light sword. The light sword, awakened by the sword intent, responded to Ling Xiao's control, though it was just a tiny thread of light, smaller than a speck of dust.

Ling Xiao's joy was indescribable. Only when you truly control this thread of light do you understand what it is. It is a tangible thread of sword intent! And it is a sword intent that can make the sword intent of Tianwai Feixian retreat like a frightened bird!

Although Ling Xiao wasn't even a third-rate expert, he wasn't lacking in theoretical knowledge. Sword intent is the ultimate treasure that swordsmen dream of. For a lover of swords, it's worth more than a city! The difference between experts of the same level with and without sword intent is like the difference between heaven and earth. For example, a piece of paper containing a thread of sword intent, even if it's a low-level one, can easily cut through steel.

Understanding sword intent is extremely difficult. If it were entirely self-taught, it would be as hard as guessing which year the Chinese national football team would win the World Cup! Therefore, most people find a reference object containing sword intent to gradually understand it.

Understanding sword intent is not easy, as it is not a tame pet. Each time you understand it, it puts immense pressure on your spirit. If you can't handle it, a new vegetable will be born.

Ling Xiao had hit the jackpot, easily obtaining two treasures containing sword intent. Although the light sword was too advanced for him to even sense, there was still the Tianwai Feixian! The most valuable thing was that the sword intent of Tianwai Feixian was extremely obedient, so there was no need to worry about it harming him.

Hehe! Hehe!

Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh foolishly again. He had always been puzzled, how could Tianwai Feixian be just a simple sword technique? It turns out it contained sword intent, the perfect inheritance! Ling Lingfa, who knew nothing about swords, couldn't sense the sword intent, but Ling Xiao, thanks to the light sword, discovered it, thus preventing the treasure from being overlooked.
