Chapter 276 Weapon Refining
Lin Jingge quickly realized that rescuing people one by one was not feasible. Not to mention that their people would get tired, they also couldn't save them all due to the speed at which the demons were destroying the area.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingge looked at the spiritual cultivators who were obviously exhausted. Because they had used up their spiritual energy to save people, there were beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Lost in thought, Lin Jingge walked to the side and sat down, closing her eyes, appearing to outsiders as if she were resting.
Everyone was busy, so they only glanced at Lin Jingge and looked away without saying anything.
"What's the best way to save lives more quickly and efficiently...?"
Lin Jingge muttered to herself, when suddenly, the spiritual energy within her body, which had been circulating continuously since the rescue, gave her an inspiration.
"Since spiritual energy can save those demons, the key is spiritual energy itself. If we can make spiritual energy cover the entire continent and transform the demonic energy... perhaps we can save everyone at once!"
Thinking of this, Lin Jingge did not disturb anyone. After all, it would take time to refine a demonic energy converter, and she needed to leave these spiritual cultivators behind to protect her so she could concentrate on refining the demonic energy converter.
Calming her mind and meditating, Lin Jingge took out the necessary items and began refining the weapon with a solemn expression.
After an unknown amount of time, thanks to the spiritual cultivators who were holding back the demon, Lin Jingge was able to successfully master what she wanted.
Looking at the small, golden, sphere-shaped magic energy converter in her hand, Lin Jingge smiled gently, her voice full of joy: "It's done! This is much simpler!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jingge soared into the sky above the imperial city. Holding a magical artifact, her flowing black hair drew everyone's attention.
The commotion quickly alerted all the spiritual cultivators, and everyone looked up at the sky above the imperial city, where they saw Lin Jingge tossing a glowing magical artifact upwards.
With her slender fingers, she slowly channeled spiritual energy into the demonic energy converter. In an instant, white light burst forth, blinding everyone who tried to shield their eyes with their sleeves.
As the light faded somewhat, the demons on the ground began to wail, seemingly in pain. After a moment, their eyes slowly regained their clarity.
Seeing this, the spiritual practitioners were stunned. One of them muttered, "What's going on? These people seem to have returned to normal?"
Hearing this, many of the younger spiritual cultivators couldn't understand what was going on, but the older ones did, and explained, "This is a demonic energy converter. I've only heard my master mention it before, but I never thought it could actually be made."
"Is that little magical artifact difficult to refine? I saw her meditate for only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn..."
Upon hearing this, the older spiritual cultivator couldn't help but roll his eyes, but knowing that the other party was his junior brother, he didn't say anything more.
Looking at the magical artifact above Lin Jingge, Lingxiu said softly, "The Demonic Energy Converter, as the name suggests, can convert demonic energy into spiritual energy. It is exactly what we need right now, since it can save people faster than we can."
"This thing is extremely difficult to refine. You could easily go berserk if you're not careful. Don't you realize that you're trying to create something that's neither demonic nor divine?"
That's quite true. The Demonic Energy Converter is a conversion between demonic energy and spiritual energy, so it's naturally extremely dangerous.
Upon hearing the news, the crowd erupted in excitement, all staring intently at the sky above the imperial city.
Some people were greedy and wanted that magical artifact, but they were also afraid of Lin Jingge's strength and dared not show it.
Some people admired and respected Lin Jingge for her strong abilities, and for a time, discussions arose.
"As expected of the Spirit Sect, they are truly formidable."
"Yes, thanks to this master, otherwise we would have either been bitten to death by the demons or exhausted from saving people!"
"I must try to build a good relationship with her later. Maybe I can even get on the good side of Master Ling."
The group of people had different thoughts and were saying all sorts of things, but Lin Jingge didn't hear any of it.
She needed to focus all her attention on the demons throughout the entire imperial city, so how could she have the mind to spare any attention for these spiritual cultivators?
The demons were all brought under control and returned to their original forms, though their faces were somewhat ashen. Lin Jingge withdrew her hand and closed her eyes to meditate until she felt that the situation was almost resolved.
She put the demonic energy converter into her arms. Lin Jingge descended from the sky above the imperial city, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was surrounded by a group of people.
"Senior Lin, Senior Lin, you are so amazing! You actually came up with such a solution. Now everyone is better off, and we can relax too."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Senior Lin."
Lin Jingge, who had just manipulated the magical artifacts above to purify the demonic energy of the imperial city, was like a celestial being, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.
Looking at the people surrounding her and expressing their gratitude, Lin Jingge's face was a little pale, not because she was frightened, but because she had used up too much spiritual energy and was therefore somewhat weak.
However, she still had to respond, so she waved her hand weakly and said calmly, "It's alright, I just wanted to take a break and save time and effort when rescuing people."
Hearing this, Lin Jingge's humility elicited jealousy from some and admiration from others. Of course, she had no time to care about any of that; all she wanted to do now was get some sleep.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingge tried to push through the crowd to leave, but the people pushed her away and surrounded her, saying all sorts of things, making it impossible for Lin Jingge to hear a single word.
"Senior Lin..."
"Senior Lin..."
She heard a bunch of people calling her "Senior Lin," but she didn't know who was calling her.
Suddenly, a voice amplified by spiritual power stunned the group. Lin Jingge looked closely and saw that it belonged to a noble family from the imperial city.
"Senior Lin, you saved everyone in our imperial city this time. We can't be ungrateful. We should thank you properly."
Hearing this, Lin Jingge shook her head and said calmly, "There's nothing to thank me for. It was just a small favor. I'll be going now."
She just wanted to get rid of these people and go back to rest and recuperate. It was exhausting to use so much spiritual power at once to purify the demonic energy of the entire imperial city!
Lin Jingge turned to leave, but the noble families wouldn't let her go. They blocked her way and said with smiles, "That won't do. You must show proper etiquette."
"Alright then, Senior Lin, you must be tired after wasting so much spiritual energy. You should go back and rest first, and we'll take care of the rest."
"What are you going to do?" Although she wanted to sleep, Lin Jingge still forced her eyelids open to ask. She was worried that these people would give her a big surprise, and her heart couldn't take it.
Seeing her wary expression, the people from the imperial city smiled and couldn't help but tease her, "Would I harm you? It's just a small token of our gratitude. We'd like to prepare a banquet for you, senior, as a kind of baptism for this demonic upheaval."
Hearing this, Lin Jingge could barely accept it and nodded in agreement.
Finally, they were able to let her go. Back in her room, Lin Jingge began to meditate and regulate her breathing until someone came to call her to a banquet. Only then did Lin Jingge leave.
