On the third day of Yunzhong City
's centennial celebration, Lin Jiang appeared at the auction in Juxing Tower and sat in the private room on the top floor. He looked down and found that the cultivators below were at least in the late stage of foundation building, and there were very few of them. This was a high-level auction mainly for Jindan stage cultivators.
"This is the first time I know that there are so many Jindan cultivators,"
Lin Jiang sighed. The auction was divided into three floors. The bottom floor was the hall, and there were no less than 70 or 80 Jindan cultivators. The second floor had 16 private rooms, and Lin Jiang didn't know exactly how many there were. There were only eight private rooms on the third floor, and Lin Jiang didn't know how many Jindan cultivators were in them, but the total number was at least more than 100.
But this was only the auction in Juxing Tower. Duobao Pavilion also had an auction today, which was also of a very high level. In addition to other scattered ones, Yunzhong City now had no less than 300 Jindan cultivators, not counting the Jindan cultivators guarded by the two major sects.
"Not many. We have 117 Jindan here now, including me, but not as many as Zhongxing Sect.
" "Can you tell me this kind of data?"
"Uncle is not an outsider."
"Don't say it anymore. After all, I am not a Zhongxing Sect disciple."
"Got it, uncle."
"Yeah."
Lin Jiang nodded. At this time, they were in the private room on the third floor, which was the highest level. This kind of private room had a special formation. Even if it was a Yuanying, it could not probe its consciousness in at will. It could protect the identity best. Lin Jiang also benefited from Cao Ying. Of course, Cao Ying also got this treatment by relying on her master's name.
"Senior Sister Lin is in the No. 4 private room opposite us. If uncle wants to contact her, he can press these formations."
Cao Ying pointed to the row of formation slots in front of them and said, if you want to contact, you can communicate with each other, and if you don't want to contact, you can block it. It's very convenient.
"Forget it."
Lin Jiang shook his head. There were many Lin family members in the No. 4 private room where the Lin family was. Lin Jiang didn't want to deal with them, although he knew it was difficult to avoid.
"Uncle, if you don't want to go back to the Lin family, you don't have to go back."
"I know, no need to say more, the auction is about to start ."
Lin Jiang shook his head. Yesterday, Lin Die and Lin Batian helped him solve the threat of the Dark Night Organization. The entire Dark Night Organization's base in Yunzhong City was wiped out. Lin Batian killed three Jindan alone, and the rest were also wiped out by Zhongxing Sect and Yunjian Sect.
But Lin Batian asked Lin Die to tell Lin Jiang that Dark Night has a Yuanying stage backer behind him, and it would be very dangerous for him to stay, so he asked Lin Jiang to consider returning to Anhua City. Lin Jiang did not give a clear answer.
"Uncle, if you want to buy something, I'll buy it for you."
"I have my own money, Cao Ying, don't always think about me. It's not the time for uncle to really need your support, okay?"
"I know, I just want to be nice to uncle, just like you treated me when we were little."
"I'm nice to you without asking for anything in return."
"Me too."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. I want to buy a treasure that can improve my qualifications and talents. Do you have any introduction?"
"Really, uncle, have you heard of the Bone Shaping Pill?"
"No, tell me about it."
"The Bone Shaping Pill is a sixth-grade top-grade pill. Its function is to help cultivators reshape their bones. This is random, and it may get worse or better. It can be used as long as it is below the Golden Core."
"It suits me very well,"
said Lin Jiang. He is very clear about his talent. There is no room for decline. Reshaping the bones can only make it better.
"Well, this kind of elixir is not suitable for us to use. It will most likely only make things worse, not better. Only people with very poor roots can use it. But the price is not cheap, so it's a bit useless and there's nothing to buy. I remember that the Pill King Li Ruoxu is selling it this time. If uncle really wants this Bone Shaping Pill, I can buy it for him."
"I said, I have money."
"Uncle, don't resist me so much."
"Has the level of your spiritual roots been improved?"
Lin Jiang was speechless and changed the subject again. This kind of thing should not be entangled.
"Yes, there is. The Soul Cleansing Pill, a seventh-grade top-grade pill, can wash away spiritual roots. For example, two spiritual roots can be washed into a single spiritual root."
"How much is this Soul Cleansing Pill?"
"You can't buy it even if you have money. No one in Yunzhou can refine seventh-grade top-grade pills. Even the Pill King Li Ruoxu doesn't have the ability. Even if he has the ability to refine it, he won't use the materials to refine it. If you really want to find it, you have to go to other states."
"What a pity, my spiritual roots are very poor. If I want to get this Soul Cleansing Pill."
Lin Jiang was extremely disappointed when he heard it. It would be better not to let him know the news. If he knew, even if it was a sky-high price, he could slowly save money.
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about the problem of spiritual roots, but the problem of cultivation methods."
"What do you mean?"
"Spiritual roots are innate, and the way of heaven has given the human race spiritual roots to practice, which means that spiritual roots are equal. Whether it is a different kind of spiritual root, a heavenly spiritual root, or a five-spiritual root, the opportunities are equal. You have to find a cultivation method that fits the spiritual root, then you can get the hope of becoming an immortal."
"In reality, the natural spiritual roots and the five spiritual roots are completely different. If you have five spiritual roots, you can't even enter the gate of Zhongxing Sect."
Lin Jiang didn't believe this kind of chicken soup. If they were really equal, why should they distinguish each other.
"This is also reality. The spiritual roots are equal, but the resources are not. The natural spiritual roots are faster than the five spiritual roots in the early stage of cultivation, and the rewards are more visible, so the sect likes the natural spiritual roots. If time is extended and resources are equal, the five spiritual roots may not be worse."
"But no one will do this, right?"
"Yes, I haven't asked yet, what spiritual roots are uncle?"
"Five spiritual roots"
"Ah, then, then, then uncle must have a very strong understanding."
Cao Ying was a little dumbfounded. In her memory, Lin Jiang was just over a hundred years old. A hundred years old in the middle stage of foundation building was considered average in Zhongxing Sect. Considering his identity as a casual cultivator, if he had five spiritual roots, it would be very remarkable.
"It's just average. Now I'm practicing the middle-grade Earth Rank Zuwang Sutra, the same version that Master Yunxu used to practice."
"The middle-grade Earth Rank is supposed to be of a very high level, but the Zuwang Sutra is quite special. It's too malleable. Too much plasticity means that it has no unique advantages. You can only improve the practice according to your actual situation. Master Yunxu did use this practice to practice to the Spirit Transformation Stage, but his situation may not be suitable for your uncle. Unless your physique and talent are the same, this practice can only be average for your uncle."
"There's such a saying?"
Lin Jiang frowned. Obviously, he had never heard of this theory, and it was impossible for a casual cultivator to come into contact with it.
"This kind of thing will only be taught by the master. All the cultivation insights of the outside world will not be written down."
"I'm a little envious of you."
"Uncle's business is my business. The best practice for the five spiritual roots is in the Five Elements Sect. The Five Elements Sect has many practices that are tailored for the five spiritual roots. I will find a way to get them."
"I've only heard of this practice, but the Five Elements Sect is extremely strict. I've never heard of it being circulated. This is their core practice. Don't mess around with it,"
Lin Jiang said hurriedly. He had inquired about the practice a long time ago. The Five Elements Sect did have many practices that were suitable for the five spiritual roots, but it was said that there were also many requirements. Not all people with the five spiritual roots could do it. Moreover, the Five Elements Sect was extremely strict with these practices, and I've never heard of them being circulated.
"Uncle, don't worry. We have a very good relationship with the Zhongxing Sect and the Wuxing Sect."
"Don't lie to me. No matter how good the relationship is, it's impossible to get the core skills. I'll do it myself. Don't worry about it. I'm telling you seriously,"
Lin Jiang said. When it comes to the core interests of the sect, the Wuxing Sect doesn't care who you are. Lin Jiang doesn't want Cao Ying to give up his bright future for him.
While the two were talking, the auction had already started. There were no low-level things in the high-level auction. Any random item started at tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Lin Jiang was also greedy when he saw those things, but he didn't make a move casually because he heard about the Bone Shaping Pill. He decided to get the Bone Shaping Pill, which was the most important thing.
Lin Die sent a message to Lin Jiang, asking if he had taken a fancy to anything and she would help him buy it. Lin Jiang also refused and said directly that he didn't take a fancy to anything and he didn't want to owe this favor.
Two hours later, Lin Die brought the descendants of the Lin family to Lin Jiang's private room, but Lin Jiang had already left.
"Where's Lin Wu?"
"My uncle left first."
"You have to help me stop him."
"Senior Sister Lin, you know what my uncle means, don't embarrass him."
Cao Ying shook his head. It was clear that Lin Jiang didn't want to meet the Lin family, so don't embarrass him.
"Sixth uncle's family is so arrogant. Third aunt is so good to him, but he is still arrogant."
"That's right, isn't it just a foundation building? What does our Lin family need from him? Inviting him back will only make him take advantage of our Lin family."
"Third aunt, don't pay attention to this kind of person in the future. I don't know if you think we are begging him to come back."
Several Lin family members were immediately very unhappy. It was just a foundation building, but he was so arrogant. Third aunt was in the Jindan stage, and she took the trouble to be nice to him, but she was still so arrogant. It was simply shameless.
"Shut up, what do you know? You, you, you, and you, your family all owe favors to Old Six, you know that when your father and grandfather were away from home, your grandmother and great-grandmother were all taken care of by Old Six, just for this reason, you shouldn't say this."
Lin Die was furious when she heard these words, pointing at several people and scolding them. They were all descendants of Old Five, Old Seven and others, and Old Five, Old Seven and their mothers were all served by Old Six in their later years.
Some of the Lin family's children were ashamed, and some were not convinced. Lin Die saw it in her eyes, anxious and angry, and finally said nothing. If you haven't experienced what happened back then, you won't have this feeling. Back then, the Lin family was still very weak, and the second generation of Lin family cultivators were busy with various things and ignored their mothers. Without Old Six, would those people be so at ease in their later years?
