"What the Zhou family said is bullshit"
"No one believes it"
In Lin Die's yard, Lin Ying cursed the Zhou family. She felt that the Zhou family was talking nonsense. It is estimated that old man Zhou Quan did not fight with the Iron Wood Demon Wolf, so there was no injury or defeat. He was just stabbing the Lin family in the back.
"Old Ten, forget it. Dad naturally has a plan"
"Yes, Lin Ying, don't get too excited"
Lin Jiang also nodded. He did not believe what the Zhou family said, but even if he did not believe it, it was not the time to take action now. The foundation of the Lin family is not stable. Among the descendants of the Lin family, there are only four in the foundation-building stage, which is not very useful.
It is estimated that Lin Batian also saw this point, so he did not get angry and chose to tolerate it.
"I will remember this grudge. It is not so easy to solve it"
Lin Ying was still very angry. Blood is thicker than water. Several children of the Lin family died. They were all her brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. This grudge must be avenged.
"Let's talk about revenge later, let's heal first."
"Third sister, take good care of yourself. I'm going back first. Lin Ying, do you want to recuperate at home or come with me to Lingtao Villa?"
"I'll go see my mother."
"Let's go together."
Lin Jiang nodded, and then returned to Lingtao Villa with Lin Ying. Zhuang Rong was relieved to know that the two families would not fight.
She didn't care whether to take revenge or not. She was only worried about her own children. The Zhou family was not weak. If they really fought, the Lin family would suffer losses.
Lin Batian knew that Lin Ying was in Lingtao Villa, so he sent people to deliver a lot of elixirs, all for healing, and told Lin Ying to take good care of herself.
Lin Ying's injuries were not serious, she just needed to rest. It was estimated that she would be completely healed in two or three months at most. Now she was full of energy.
But Lin Ying wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy. In Lingtao Villa, she was the most favored. In front of her was her mother, and beside her was her brother. She was loved by everyone, so she didn't want to get well so quickly.
······
Lingtao Villa, Lin Jiang stood by the window. In front of him were Zhuang Rong and Lin Ying, chatting around the fire. They also harmed several chickens and ducks in the manor. Lin Ying caught them and roasted them. Her harming ability was no less than that of two sand sculptures.
This scene was very warm and made Lin Jiang feel very comfortable. If possible, he wanted to keep this kind of life forever. However, in reality, Lin Jiang was thinking about how to leave the Lin family.
He was already forty-five years old. In the past few years, he had been growing a beard to make himself look mature and old to hide his secret. Otherwise, he would still look seventeen years old. This was not normal. Even if the immortal cultivators were good at maintenance, it would be difficult to do this.
Lin Jiang could pretend to be middle-aged, but what about old age? Once he reached the age of sixty during the Qi training period, his Qi and blood began to decline, and he would age very quickly, unless he spent a lot of money to buy Dingyan Dan.
But Lin Jiang was a man. Men rarely cared about their appearance. The main buyers of Dingyan Dan were always women, such as Zhuang Rong.
Even if Lin Jiang used this excuse, he could not delay for long. The lifespan of a cultivator is usually around 100 years old. It is rare for a person who has a good health regimen to live to 110 or 120 years old.
Lin Jiang did not think that he could build a foundation before 100 years old, even if he worked very hard, because his aptitude was there.
So Lin Jiang had been thinking about this issue for a long time, how to get out, where to go after getting out, without the protection of the Lin family, he would have to face many problems in the future, such as safety and income.
Now relying on Lingtao Villa, he has no worries about food and drink, no worries about cultivation resources, and he can still make a surplus every year, but what to do after losing this industry? These issues must be considered clearly.
"I still have to use the Dingyan Pill. This way I can postpone the time for a few decades. Zhuang Rong has been very good to me. I must take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life. Then I can save money to get away and then go to Anhua City or other big cities for cultivating immortals to settle down, open a shop and do some business."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Jiang made up his mind. The most important thing about using the Dingyan Pill is to take care of Zhuang Rong in her old age and see her to the end of her life. Lin Jiang saw the love Zhuang Rong had for him and kept it in his heart. He had to repay this kindness.
Now the annual income of Lingtao Villa is more than 800 spiritual stones. With Lin Jiang's expenses, he can save nearly 500 spiritual stones every year. After decades, it is not difficult to take away tens of thousands of spiritual stones when he escapes. This money is already a lot, enough for Lin Jiang to settle down somewhere else.
"I need to find another way to protect the way. I think the talisman technique is pretty good."
Then Lin Jiang considered the safety issue again. In fact, Lin Jiang has increased his practice of spells and sword control in the past two years. Although he has not been in actual combat, Lin Jiang feels that he is still okay in the middle stage of Qi training. After all, other immortal cultivators have not invested as much time as he has in spells and sword control. Years of practice will definitely not be in vain.
But it is still not enough. After all, the cultivation level is limited here. If you meet someone at a higher level, it
is useless no matter how skilled you are in spells. The strength of both sides is not comparable. So other means are needed. Lin Jiang thought of the talisman technique. Among the four arts of immortal cultivation, the elixir, the instrument, the formation, only the talisman technique can directly increase the combat effectiveness of the immortal cultivator. A talisman only needs divine consciousness and a little spiritual energy to activate.
In the past few years, he bought a lot of talismans. In addition to the cloud and rain talismans for farming, there are also some talismans for killing enemies and protecting the body. The price is expensive. With Lin Jiang's financial resources, he certainly cannot buy them on a large scale. So drawing talismans by himself is the best choice.
······
"Brother, do you want to learn the art
of talismans?" When Lin Ying heard that Lin Jiang wanted to learn to draw talismans, her eyes suddenly lit up, because she was a talisman drawer.
Lin Batian had strict requirements for his children. When his cultivation reached the foundation-building stage, he required them to choose a craft to learn from the alchemy and talisman array. Lin Die chose alchemy, while Lin Ying chose to draw talismans. She has been learning for several years and has achieved some success.
"Jiang'er, the talisman art is good. Your grandfather is an excellent talisman drawer. His level reached the second-level middle grade. All these dowries for my mother were earned by your grandfather drawing talismans. If you want to learn, I can pass on the talisman art left by your grandfather to you."
Zhuang Rong also agreed very much when she heard it. Her father could buy her such a rich dowry because her father was an excellent talisman drawer.
Although alchemy is the most profitable, if you master the other three skills, you will not be short of money.
"Thank you very much, mother. Please teach me the basics."
Lin Jiang did not refuse. The skills in the world of immortal cultivation are very tricky. If you don't have a foundation, it is almost impossible to learn by yourself. The talent requirement is too high.
Lin Batian spent a lot of effort to get Lin Ying to get started. The Lin family specially recruited a talisman painter as a guest official and spent a lot of money to make him willing to teach Lin Ying real skills.
"Hehe, no problem, but let's make a promise. If you don't listen in the middle, you will be beaten. The teacher will punish you."
Lin Ying laughed and said, and then pretended to be deep, pretending to be an old teacher, gesturing to Lin Jiang, making Zhuang Rong laugh.
After that, Zhuang Rong also took out the experience of the talisman painter left by her father from the bottom of the box and gave it to Lin Jiang. She didn't give these things to Lin Ying, which made Lin Ying unhappy, but she soon let it go because she didn't care much about the nature of talisman painting. What she liked was cultivation and the pleasure of increasing power when the realm was broken through.
After buying talisman paper, talisman pen, and talisman ink, Lin Jiang began to learn to draw talismans from Lin Ying. He studied for an hour during the day and practiced for an hour at night. For this reason, Lin Jiang also pushed most of the things, such as farming, to Lin Baohua. If mortals couldn't do it, they would buy talismans instead.
I don't know if it can be considered a family talent. Lin Jiang's talent in drawing talismans is obviously higher than Lin Ying. It took only half a month to successfully draw the first talisman, while Lin Ying took a full half a year.
This made Lin Ying even more unhappy. Born by the same parents, how could this talent be passed on to her?
During the three months that Lin Ying had been recuperating at Lingtao Villa, Lin Jiang had already learned how to draw five kinds of talismans, and it took Lin Ying six years to learn how to draw the five kinds of talismans.
