Lin Jinglong did not hesitate at all.

He simply waved his hand in refusal.

“I am already the president of the Azure Dragon Society. I heard that once you join the Dragon Group, you can't have any other identity, so I had no choice but to refuse.”

Lin Jinglong had no intention of working for others. The reason he cooperated with Qin Suifeng was because he valued the Dragon Group's intelligence capabilities and her Martial Emperor strength.

Judging from what Long Qi said...

It's obvious they want him to work for free.

He naturally wouldn't agree.

But Long Qi did not give up. Instead, he said to himself, "Give me some time to think about it. This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the Dragon Group's base first."

"I……"

Lin Jinglong wanted to simply refuse.

But Lin Tianlang and the others had already arrived and tried to persuade him.

"Master Lin, whether or not we join the Dragon Group, cooperating with them will always be beneficial. We must not let the relationship sour!"

Zhang Junhu emphasized this point.

Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment, remembering that he had only obtained the third transformation of the Heavenly Silkworm, and there were still six transformations to find.

This involves the secrets of the ancient Heavenly Silkworm Sect. Such secrets are probably only known to the official organization of the Elders' Council in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the Hidden World Alliance.

"Alright, then let's talk to Master Long."

Lin Jinglong readily accepted good advice.

In the car, he spent some time alone with Wu Yuehan, and the two of them were affectionate, which also comforted her anxious little heart.

It took a little time.

I finally made it back to Kyoto.

And it was located in a low-key mansion.

Lin Jinglong met Long Qi again.

And they put forward their own requirements.

"Want us to help you investigate the secrets of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect? That's simple, just agree to join the Dragon Group."

Long Qi remained fixated on this point.

"impossible!"

Lin Jinglong said frankly.

Qin Suifeng, standing to the side, rubbed his forehead.

These two are so blunt!

Lin Jinglong, however, was confident.

"I won't join the Dragon Group, but I can provide you with pills and talismans. Whether the Dragon Group is dealing with ordinary martial artists or secretly fighting against the Hidden Alliance, I'm afraid they can't do without these two resources, right?"

Facing the confident Lin Jinglong.

Long Qi fell silent.

This suggestion seems quite good.

According to Qin Suifeng, Lin Jinglong can refine fifth-grade talismans, plus at least sixth-grade pills.

Both of these are at the master level!

It's simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

“The Dragon Group’s foundation is too shallow. A talisman master and alchemist like you is exactly what we need. This deal can be done.”

Long Qi finally nodded.

He agreed to investigate the Heavenly Silkworm Sect for him.

"Let's make this clear first: whether it's drawing talismans or refining pills, you'll have to provide the necessary resources yourselves."

Lin Jinglong quickly added.

Long Qi is perfectly acceptable; what they lack is not resources, but people who can utilize those resources.

The two sides finally reached an agreement.

Lin Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief.

"With the cooperation of the Dragon Group, we should be able to find clues about the secrets of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect soon. In addition, we need to verify the findings made when we killed Lin Zixiong and the other two."

Members of reclusive families possess a unique bloodline containing immense power, which, once extracted, can be refined into powerful elixirs.

There is an opportunity to transform someone with ordinary potential into someone with extraordinary potential!

If this can be confirmed.

This will be a major discovery!

"The Hidden Alliance: Who is the hunter and who is the prey? It seems the tables are about to turn."

Lin Jinglong muttered to himself.

Afterwards, he discussed the details of the upcoming cooperation with Long Qi, and finally, a glimmer of dawn appeared on the horizon outside the courtyard.

Another young man entered the courtyard. Like Qin Suifeng, he was nearly thirty years old.

He went to Long Qi's side.

"Master Long, it's already the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), you should take your medicine."

The young man said in a low voice.

Long Qi paused for a moment, glanced at the sky, and said with a sigh, "I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be. Have someone bring the medicine over."

"I'll go and inform them right away."

The young man immediately went out to get the medicine.

Lin Jinglong glanced at Long Qi and said in surprise, "Even high-level Martial Emperors can get sick?"

The old man glanced helplessly at Lin Jinglong.

"It's not an illness, it's an injury!"

He shook his head without explaining.

Instead, he stood aside, looking at the gloomy sky and the distant dawn, seemingly thinking of some old memories.

Qin Suifeng went to Lin Jinglong's side.

He explained in a low voice, "When Lord Long joined the Elders' Council thirty years ago and founded the Dragon Group to oversee martial artists across the land, he fought a battle with a powerful figure from a reclusive family in order to establish his authority."

"That battle also damaged his foundation, which has not yet recovered, but he is, after all, an unparalleled expert."

Thirty years later, he, who was just entering the Martial Emperor realm back then, is now a high-level Emperor!

Even Lin Jinglong couldn't help but admire it.

"If he hadn't been injured, wouldn't he have had a chance to break through to the Emperor level?"

"It's hard to say."

The old man turned around.

"That level is beyond our comprehension; it is a realm that can touch the heavens. Most martial artists, no matter how talented, are limited to the Martial Emperor realm in this lifetime."

Lin Jinglong suddenly had an idea.

He was curious whether Long Qi, in his prime, could rely on his accumulated strength to reach the threshold of that highest realm.

"Master Long, why don't you let me examine you?"

Lin Jinglong was very confident in his medical skills.

But Long Qi scoffed and said, "Young man, you are now a Martial Emperor, and you are proficient in alchemy and talisman-making. Even the most reclusive families don't have many people who can compare to you."
